Some dogs are great swimmers; others never will be because of fear of the water or because they are just not anatomically built for swimming (like long dogs with short legs)
But boating enthusiasts who are dog lovers find ways to take both swimmers and non-swimmers on their boats – to enjoy the water or enjoy the weather.
If your dog has never been swimming before, take him to the beach or a pool or some place where he can feel safe for his first few times in the water and go with him. When you feel confident he can swim in a life jacket (see below) and he feels confident and enjoys it, then take him to your boat. While your boat is anchored, let him get used to it for a few visits. Then, gradually go out a little further each time from the dock, and let him swim in the lake, river, or bay. (Check out VetLive here for more information and see more training references below.)
Depending on how long you will be 'at sea' with your dog, you'll need enough food, bottled water, bedding and and medication she might take. Your dog should be crated at night, or kept in a closed compartment with you, so she does not wander off. A basic first aid training book and a first aid kit for your dog should be packed.
Here are 9 additional must have items to bring along for your dog before you pick up anchor.
1. Must Have A Dog Life Jacket: Kygen Outward Hound Life Jacket
No matter how good a swimmer you have, you must have a life jacket for your dog on board your boat. And just think of how important a life jacket is if your dog can't swim! I have taken my dogs swimming frequently in the ocean and always use the nylon Kygen Outward Hound Life Jacket for them; it's lightweight but provides a secure fit and I can easily haul the dogs around from the top handle if they get tired. But I also see a lot of dogs that use the neoprene Paws Aboard Life Jacket too.
Whichever you buy, make sure the size is correct (there are sizing charts at the links above) and make sure you get a BRIGHT color that contrasts with the water and your dog's coloring. (Here's a great review of different life vests.)
2. Must Have A Dog Ramp: Paws Aboard Boat Ladder And Ramp
Unless you have a hydraulic dog ramp, which costs some mighty big bucks, you will need a strong and steady means of getting your dog back into the boat. You will need to train your dog to use the Paws Aboard Boat Ladder and Ramp, on land and/or in shallow water, but once she learns, climbing it from deeper water will come naturally to her. Go with her into the water and lead her up the plank. She might want to go into the water using the plank, but most importantly, she needs to learn to walk up the plank to get out of the water. As you get into slightly deeper water, you can guide her with your body or by using her life jacket or a leash attached to a harness to guide her. Do not use a neck collar to pull your dog while in the water.
3. Must Have A Dog Harness: Puppia Soft Dog Harness
I've been a big fan of Puppia Harnesses since they first came out. They're great for small to medium dogs who pull because the Puppia's have a soft front that doesn't dig into their chests, but they come in sizes all the way up to XXLarge for the big guys too. Honestly though, any harness that will restrain your dog without hurting him will do while he's lounging around on your boat.
4. Must Have A Tether: Tether Plus Harness
You should have your dog tethered at all times when he's boating with you, so that there are no 'dogs overboard.' Attach a tether like this one to an immovable object at one end and your dog's leash or harness (see Puppia above) at the other end. (I was looking for a tether that would do really well in water and this is the best I could find. If anyone has a better suggestion, please let me know?)
5. Must Have A Cool Bed: K&H Cool Bed III Cooling Dog Bed
Just because you're on the water, doesn't mean you're cool. Well, you're cool, but your not cool enough! And when your dog can't jump in the water to cool off, she's going to need the K&H Cool Bed III to keep her cool, because there are few shade trees on the water. I like the K&H Cool Bed because it doesn't require refrigeration. You just poor some cool water through the spout and it will stay cool for hours! K&H Cool Bed III comes in small, medium, and large.(I also think this PupChiller looks like a winner but have not tried it.)
6. Must Have A Sun Visor: PlayaPup Sun Protective Dog Visors
Dogs get cataracts in their eyes, just like people do. Small to medium size dogs are especially vulnerable to cataracts, and cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in dogs. With that in mind you should do whatever you can to prevent them or minimize the harmful impact of the sun on your dog's eyes. The PlayaPup Sun Protective Dog Visors, with a UPF of 50, help to protect your dog's eyes from sun damage, and will be useful not only when all paws are on deck, but when they're on land as well. The PlayaPups come in several sizes and in many great colors and patterns.
7. Must Have Dog Sun Glasses: Doggles Sun Glasses For Dogs
Doggles are another step you can take to protect your dog's eyes. Doggles smoke colored lenses block 100 percent of the sun's harmful rays. I have trained all my dogs to wear Doggles – you have to start little by little, day by day, outside of your home, maybe on a walk. On a boat dogs can wear their Doggles on deck and, in the water, they are great to protect them from glare as well as from foreign bodies entering their eyes. Dogs can see fine through the lenses, which are polycarbonate, just like most of ours. Doggles are pretty much water tight too, so I use them on my dogs in chlorinated pools and salt water. The Doggle frames comes in different colors, but make sure that for eye protection you choose the smoke colored lenses.
8. Must Have Dog Sunscreen: Epi-Pet Sun Protector Spray For Pets
Epi-Pet is an FDA approved sunscreen for dogs and horses. It should be applied to the skin and especially used on dogs with light colored fur and/or skin and thin fur, short fur, or shaved fur. Though Epi-Pet Sun Protector Spray is waterproof, you should apply it every few times your dog gets wet. It should be applied daily when your dog is in the sun – dogs with light-skinned or light-colored fur can get sunburned easily, just like light-skinned people! Do not used human sunscreen on your dogs! They might lick up harmful chemicals.
9. Must Have A Dog Potty: Pee Wee Dog Potty
Dogs don't tend to pee or poop while in the water. I have been swimming with my dogs for years, and the first thing they want to do when they get out of the water is poop and then pee. So, unless you want to clean up messes on your boat, it's better if you train your dog to use a dog potty (again, best to start at home). I like the Pee Wee Dog Potty because it's in a container, it has (artificial) grass, which you can odorize with your dog's favorite scent, and it also has a grate through which the tinkle can go. This one is for small and medium dogs. (Here's my review of 8 portable dog potties if you'd like to see what else may work for you.)
Enjoy boating with your dogs, but keep them safe and cool!

In 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York, 240 women and men met for the very first women's rights convention. This group issued a women's Declaration of Independence.
From that gathering, women's rights pioneers such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone, Abby Kelley, Lucretia Mott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bronson Alcott and William Lloyd Garrison planned a national convention that was held in Worcester, MA in 1850. More than 1,000 delegates from eleven different states attended
- · Lucy Stone called for giving women the right to own property and to vote.
- · Abby Price argued for women's equal access to trades and professions.
- · Dr. Harriet Hunt insisted on women's right to higher education.
- · Sojourner Truth spoke of the plight of slave women.
Newspapers across the nation mocked the convention and the people seeking more rights for women but just being in the paper brought the issue to the forefront and helped bring converts to the cause.
Ask yourself if you would have stepped forward and attended these conventions.

Despite not going very fast during a 5 hour ride on January 2nd, Chrissie Wellington crashed quite hard and fractured her arm, wrist, hand and a couple of fingers. She checked in with slowtwitch.
Slowtwitch: Chrissie can you share with our readers what happened on that January second ride?
Chrissie: We were on a 5-hour ride and we were about 1.5 to 2 hours into the ride. It was myself, my boyfriend Tom and two close friends and we were riding in the Southside of London in Surrey Hills. We just hit an icy patch on the road and we were really going so incredibly slow, not even 10 miles an hour and my back wheel just went on the ice. We were actually going slightly uphill at the time and I came down and braced myself with my right hand. I fractured my arm, my wrist, my hand in two places and two fingers.
I wanted a break from training but I wanted that after Kona. Basically I was taken to hospital and I had surgery to insert 3 wires into my arm and my wrist under general anesthetic. Now I have a cast on my arm, as you will see. The wires will come out in 4 weeks and the cast will come of in 6 weeks.
ST: How has that changed your plans?
Chrissie: I was planning to go to Lanzarote this week for a month. Now I have broken bones but I have not broken my spirit. I'll do as much as I can with one hand. I can bike indoors but I can't put a lot of weight on that arm at the moment. Basically I'll be sitting up on my bike. At the moment I have to keep it pretty much in the same position otherwise it is pretty painful. I will be able to do some water runs and I'll kick in the swimming pool. I already am doing some core stuff. Plus I'll go for walks, and I believe walking will be fine. It'll give me a chance to do some other things. See some friends; catch up with family and stuff like that.
ST: Surely your friends and family are happy to see you, but most likely not under those circumstances.
Chrissie: Exactly, that is exactly what my dad said. My friends also said it is nice to have me around longer but they wished it wasn't one-handed. It is ok though. It is just not so easy to do the things you want to do, like tie you shoe laces and chop vegetables. I am pretty dependent on my boyfriend at the moment to do all the cooking, which he is loving.
ST: You are right-handed?
Chrissie: Yes, I am right-handed. I signed a couple of posters since the accident with drunken spider handwriting. So I am learning to write with my left hand now. Even little things are different. Obviously getting dressed, and I can't tie my hair back and that is really frustrating. But you can sit there and mope or you can sit there and do what you can with what you got. I look at some people and count myself pretty lucky. It is a bit of a setback, but not one that is insurmountable.
ST: We wish a speedy recovery and look forward to see you racing later this summer.
Chrissie: Thank you so much. I'll be back. We almost sorted out the race deal for the summer.
Chrissie had a bit of fun with the pics below but she told us that she really needs to sit up when she rides her bike right now.

Temporary Protected Status for Haiti Extended for Six Months
WASHINGTON– Secretary of Homeland Security John F. Kelly has extended Temporary Protected Status(TPS)for eligible nationals of Haiti( as well as eligible people without race who last repeatedly lived in Haiti)through Jan. 22, 2018. After talking to the suitable UNITED STATE federal government agencies as well as evaluating nation conditions, Secretary Kelly has established that a limited, six-month extension is necessitated. Although Haiti has made considerable progress in recuperating from the January 2010 quake that prompted its classification, conditions in Haiti sustaining its designation continue to be fulfilled currently.
Existing beneficiaries of Haiti's TPS classification looking for to prolong their TPS should re-register by July 24, 2017. TPS beneficiaries that re-register may ask for a brand-new Employment Authorization Record(EAD). Those who re-register as well as request a new EAD throughout the 60-day re-registration duration may receive an automated expansion of their running out EAD for approximately 180 days from the date their current EAD runs out. Current EADs will certainly not be immediately prolonged without a new EAD request. If a recipient's EAD demand is authorized, they will certainly get a new EAD with an expiration day of Jan. 22, 2018. TPS recipients are strongly encouraged to re-register and also file their EAD applications as early as possible to stay clear of gaps in the paperwork of work authorization.
Throughout this six-month expansion, beneficiaries are motivated to plan for their go back to Haiti in case Haiti's designation is not prolonged once more, consisting of asking for upgraded travel documents from the federal government of Haiti. At the very least 60 days prior to Jan. 22, 2018, Assistant Kelly will re-evaluate the classification for Haiti and will establish whether another extension, a redesignation, or a termination is warranted, in full conformity with the Migration as well as Citizenship Act. The classification of TPS was meant by Congress to be short-lived, and also the Secretary will completely re-evaluate the country problems to identify whether Haiti's TPS classification should continue.
To re-register, current TPS beneficiaries must submit: · Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status (Re-registrants do not should pay the Form I-821 application fee). · The biometric service charges(or a fee-waiver demand)if they are 14 years of ages or older.
· Kind I-765, Application for Work Consent, despite whether they desire an EAD.< p style ="margin-top: 0.8 em; margin-bottom: 0.8 em; margin-left: 38.9 pt; font-family: source_sans_pro_regular,"Source Sans Pro", Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;"> · The Type I-765 application charge or a fee-waiver request, but just if they desire an EAD. If the re-registrant does not desire an EAD, no Form I-765 application fee is needed. Applicants might ask for that USCIS forgo the Kind I-765 application
cost and/or biometric service charges based upon a failure to pay. To do so, applicants must file< a href ="http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=4c30003cf147c210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=6ca66d26d17df110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCRD" design="shade: rgb(153, 0, 102); "> Form I-912, Request for Charge Waiver, or send a created request. Fee-waiver demands should be come with by sustaining paperwork. USCIS will certainly decline the TPS application of any candidate who cannot submit the called for filing costs or an appropriately documented fee-waiver demand. Extra info concerning TPS for Haiti, including advice on qualification, the application process and also where to file, is offered online at uscis.gov/ tps. Additional details concerning this extension of TPS for Haiti, including the application needs and procedures, appear in a Federal Register discover published today.

By Marno de Boer
This guest post summarizes some conclusions from the report Defensie in het Stemhokje (defence in the voting booth). The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies (HCSS) published this study, which made it to all the country's major newspapers, on 1 September 2012. The present author co-authored the report. It analyzes the defence plans presented by Dutch political parties in their election programs for the 12 September 2012 parliamentary elections. The financial substantiations provided by the Centraal Planbureau, an independent government agency which calculates the consequences of parties' plans, were also taken into account. These hard figures sometimes reveal proposals and consequences that parties gloss over in overtly ambitious electoral programs. This lack of realism about the consequences of cuts is probably the most interesting finding of the report.
Unrealistic about the consequences of budget cuts
In 2011, the current minority cabinet of prime-minister Mark Rutte (consisting of his VVD right-wing liberals and the CDA Christian-democrats, supported by the right-wing PVV of Geert Wilders), decreased the defence budget from 8.3 billion euro to 7.7 by 2016. Consequently, spending on the armed forces will reach 1,0% of gross national product in 2017. This would place the Netherlands in the lower strata of NATO and the EU in this respect. According to CDA defence minister Hans Hillen, the cuts and ensuing reorganizations seriously diminish the readiness of the force in the coming years. The contribution to the anti-piracy mission in the Gulf of Aden and the police training mission in Afghanistan's Kunduz province can be maintained, but further activity is impossible until at least 2014. A new round of cuts and reorganizations could prolong this period, or even turn it into a permanent situation.
None of the parties appraise these realities in their programs, which generally do not connect ambitions with the necessary budget. VVD and CDA strive for an all round force to carry out a wide array of expeditionary missions. To make this possible, they oppose new cuts. As indicated above, this ambition cannot be realized for most of their possible future stint in government. The same is true for the small Christian parties SGP and ChristenUnie. Their proposed increases of 200 and 100 million respectively, compared to 2011 still a decrease, will have little effect in the short term.
D66 (liberal-democrats), PvdA (social-democrats) and GroenLinks (green party) are similarly inaccurate about the consequences of their cuts. All strive to maintain the current all round force and want to participate in various international missions. Nevertheless, D66 proposes a further 500 million euro cut, while the latter two intend to slash 1 billion. All political parties promise to maintain capacities through further European defence integration and cooperation. However, this is a long term process, while cuts take direct effect. The ambition level of these three parties is therefore unattainable. Moreover, the cuts will hamper European defence cooperation. A country that unilaterally cuts its forces preceding to talks will be seen as un unattractive and unreliable partner, that rushes ahead of joint choices and coordinated cuts.
The PVV, 500 million, and the SP (socialists), 1.5 billion, want to decrease defence spending as well. Both are less than enthusiastic about European cooperation. Instead, the PVV wants to focus on the protection of direct Dutch interests, which it does not define. Because the party wants to reduce foreign missions by 50%, it seems to interpret the connection between international peace and security and Dutch interests more narrowly than current policy does. The SP opposes an expeditionary NATO and wants to conduct UN peacekeeping missions. The PvdD animal-rights party shares this view, but has not revealed its exact budgetary plans.
These budgetary plans provided to the Centraal Planbureau also reveal the real consequences of the PvdA, Groenlinks and SP cuts. They base their plans on an option in a civil service report from 2010 that outlines possible cuts in government spending (Heroverwegingen, variant G). This variant includes among others a permanent 50% reduction in contributions to international operations, abolishing the Army, and a stark reduction in the defensive and offensive means available to soldiers in the theatre of operations. Especially in the case of PvdA and Groenlinks, the discrepancy between ambitions listed in the electoral program and the realities of the budgetary choices is striking.
Differing views
Right wing parties appear to share similar views on defence. SGP, CDA, ChristenUnie and VVD all want an all round force that conducts missions as part of an expeditionary NATO. They support European cooperation, but are against far-reaching defence integration. Only the CU mentions the importance of a mission's legality under international law, and a coordinated 3D (Defence, Diplomacy, Development) engagement that is supposed to help people in the theatre of operations.
On the left, two differing visions appear. GroenLinks and PvdA want an allround force that, within an expeditionary NATO, conducts missions worldwide, using the 3D concept. SP and PvdD oppose an expeditionary NATO and want to conduct UN peacekeeping missions. As mentioned above, the PVV has a unique vision centred around the protection of a narrowed definition of Dutch interests.
The discourse
The generally limited quality of the discourse is disappointing. Most programs concentrate on the security problems of yesterday and today, rather than those of tomorrow. Future challenges like the shift of power toward Asia, tensions over cyber space, outer space and the Arctic receive cursory attention at best. If specific regions are mentioned these are generally Israel and the Palestinian Occupied Territories, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Golf of Aden. While those are certainly important, other potential hotspots like the Straits of Hormuz and the South-China Sea are glossed over by and large.
Legal mandate
Article 97 of the Dutch constitution provides that contributing to the international legal order is a fundamental task of the armed forces. Many parties (D66, PvdA, ChristenUnie, Groenlinks, SP, PvdD) demand an international legal mandate for deployment of the armed forces. For the latter three this must even consist of a resolution from the UN Security Council. This could potentially have consequences for participation in NATO or EU deployments without a UN-resolution. SGP, CDA and VVD do not mention the topic, which at the least shows that they do not find it important enough to mention in their electoral program. PVV's call for tough naval action against 'Jihad-pirates near the Golf of Aden' seems to implicate that this party pays less importance to the legal framework.

- Who was Marco Polo? (You can research this online)
He was a Venetian merchant traveler. He learned about trading whilst his father and uncle, travelled through Asia and apparently met Kublai Khan. In 1269, they returned to Venice to meet Marco for the first time. The three of them embarked on an epic journey to Asia, returning after 24 years to find Venice at war with Genoa; Marco was imprisoned, and dictated his stories to a cellmate. He was released in 1299, became a wealthy merchant, married and had 3 children. He died in 1324, and was buried in San Lorenzo.
- What historical period is the text from? What do you know about this period?
The text is from the Middle Age. In this period, in Europe, the people were very poor except the kings and the nobles. The Cristianism controled Europe. But in Asia there were a lots of new advances.
- What region does the text discuss? What do we call it nowadays?
It discuss about Catai. Now called China.
- Compare the technological developement of the East with that of the West during this period.
In this period in the East there are invents about the agriculture because, in the land of the science the people couldn't investigate because the Cristianism didn't leave them. But in the East they were not of this religion, they were islamic and jewish so they could investigate the anatomy and other things so their invents were better then the invents of the West.
- Why do you think the book was giving this title?
Because he didn't know all the things that he discovered in this place and he thought that they were magical
- What stones do you think the text is talking about?
The text is talking about the coal.
- What properties and advantages do the stones in the text have?
The properties were that the stones were black and they burned for a long time with a constant heat.
- Was there an equivalent to these stones in the West?

In the present scenario of sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits, constipation has become a common digestive disorder among the general populace. The defecation process becomes difficult and makes a person strain too much. This is a problem which people avoid discussing in everyday conversations. People can share how a headache or cough was disturbing them last night, but nobody is going to announce in the office that he has not pooped in 3 days. They cannot understand that infrequent bowel movements may affect your health negatively. They find it easier to visit a drug store and buy a quick fix laxative. These laxatives are habit-forming and despite of curing your constipation, they give birth to a couple of other side effects. So before we talk about the home remedies for constipation, let us find out the cause responsible for it so that we can deal with this problem organically.
Causes of Constipation
There are several factors responsible for constipation; let us discuss the root causes of constipation so that you will take an informed decision.
Low Water Intake
If you are drinking the lesser amount of water required by your body, then your body will absorb water from other resources and your body waste is the main target. This will result in the dryness of the stool which will make the evacuation process difficult.
Sedentary Lifestyle
Nowadays, everything is computerized and available at arm's length. In this scenario sedentary lifestyle becomes obvious, but on the contrary, the body relies on physical activity to enhance metabolism and produce mucus to lubricate. Incorporate physical activity in your lifestyle to get rid of constipation.
Negative Effects of Medication
There are several drugs which are responsible to cause constipation like diuretics, antidepressants, and calcium channel blocking drugs.
During this period several hormonal changes take place which often leads to constipation. Constant pressure by fetus on the digestive tract is also one of the reasons.
It is noticed that in old age people have a slower metabolic rate and digestion which leads to constipation. Decrease in physical activity and change in bodily functions is one of the reasons for constipation in old age.
Overuse of Laxatives
Many people rely on the use of laxatives for regular bowel movements. They failed to understand that laxatives are habit-forming and the more you will use them, the higher the dose you have to take to get the same results.
Home Remedies for Constipation
This is one of the classic cures for irregular bowel movement. This fruit is full of fiber and Sorbitol. This natural laxative works by softening the stool by the presence Sorbitol, a natural carbohydrate. In some cases it is responsible for bloating. You can also opt for figs, which have good amount of fiber in them.
Castor Oil
People are using this remedy for constipation since ages. Castor oil is a wonderful laxative, take 1-2 teaspoon empty stomach and you will get the results within eight hours.
Physical Activity
In order to keep your mind and body active, you are supposed to take part in physical activities. It is not necessary to exercise, but it is imperative to stay active throughout the day. You can take part in outdoor games or go for a morning walk. Regular physical activity will regulate the hormonal secretions and this will enhance the production of mucus which is required for normal bowel movements.
Include More Fiber in Your Diet
A woman is in need of 25 g of fiber in a day, whereas a man requires around 35 g. To keep your digestive system on track, you are supposed to eat healthy food items full of fiber. Oats, flaxseeds, chia seeds and lentils are full of fiber. You can eat them in different ways. Soak them in water, then eat after crushing, it is good to add raisins to enhance the results. Vegetables like spinach and broccoli are rich in soluble fiber and also used in constipation.
Lemon has high amount of vitamins C which aids the digestive system and ensures smoother bowel movement. You can use half lemon juice in a glass of water with a pinch of salt every morning. You can also use honey with water as a first drink in the morning to clean the intestine.

I am not sure I buy the typical Evangelical concept of hell. Let me rephrase that, I know I do not buy the typical evangelical concept of hell. Let me share why I am not buying the company line on this, and that can best be done in two words "Divina Commedia."
Dante Alighieri wrote his "Divine comedy" (Divina Commedia) sometime between 1308 and his death in 1321. It is set in the year 1300 and involves Dante and his guide Virgil through the inferno of hell. In this poem, Dante shares three levels of hell – the Inferno, Purgatory and Limbo. It is in this writing that we get most of understanding of the theology that is central to the Evangelical understanding of hell. What does the Bible say about hell?
Putting Dante aside, let us look at what Scripture has to share about the concept of hell. In scripture there are several words that have been translated as "hell" over the centuries.
Sheol: In the Hebrew Scriptures this word appears 65 times. In the KJV, it is translated as "Hell" 31 times, "the grave" 31 times and as "the pit" 3 times. In modern translations it is simply left as "Sheol." Sheol does not have the same meaning as the hell defined by Christian theology. In Judaism Sheol was a "holding ground" for people who died to work out their sins. It was a place where the soul would go and be "unseen by God." A soul could stay in Sheol for up to 12 months. After that time a soul would either enter "Olam Habah" or "the world to come." Hell was not a "forever place" where there would be pain, fire and brimstone.
Gehenna: This word is translated as either hell or hell fire. We must remember that it is an actual place just outside Jerusalem known as the Valley of Hinnom. It is said to be a place where the garbage of the city was burnt. Tradition has it as a place where there was fire all the time. One could see how this place could be seen as a metaphor for hell, but we also need to keep in mind that the KJV was written well after Dante's poem.
Tartarus: This word appears only once, in II Peter 2:4, and is translated as being "casted down into hell." But modern translations simply translate the word as "Tartarus." Tartarus is from classical mythology and is place that can be seen as the deepest abyss. According to Plato it is a place where the dead go after judgment. If any word could be seen as the classical idea of hell, this could be such a word.
Hades: A Greek word that can be seen more like the Hebrew word Sheol, and not "hell." Around 1200AD the word Hades was translated as "Purgatorium" (Purgatory). The idea was not centered on the idea of eternal punishment. In many of the translations Hades is translated as "to the grave" or "place of the dead" or "among the dead." In the KJV it is translated 10 times as hell, and once as grave.
I have always been suspicious about translations that translate the same word in different ways. Think of it this way, in Greek the word "Poterion" means "cup." If, we were to translate poterion as glass in one scripture, barrel in another, pool in another, and plastic bag in another would we be true to the scripture? After all, they all hold liquids. Why not use them interchangeably? Would we be true to the meaning of the word? Would we be true to the ideas the writer wished to convey? Would our doing so affect the meaning of what we read? For example:
Revelation 6:8 – [KJV] "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth." Could not that same scripture be written as, "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and the grave followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."
In our culture the idea of hell does not frighten many people. But in a culture filled with Face Book profiles, My Space communities and You Tube people want to be seen. The idea of being so separated by God that we are "unseen" by God would carries a deeper meaning to many.

The Woman in Black was written in 1983 by Susan Hill and follows the story of Arthur Kipps. Stephen Mallatratt, a playwright, adapted the story into a play back in 1987, before it first appeared on stage in late 1987 before appearing in the West End in 1989; making it the second longest non-musical play within the west end. The story of Arthur Kipps is portrayed completely differently to that of the 2012 film which stares Daniel Radcliffe. On stage, the play only features 2 main characters (excluding that of the actual Woman in Black), The Actor and Arthur Kipps. The Actor - portrayed by Matthew Spencer - is helping an elderly Arthur Kipps (David Acton) to tell the story of his encounter with the woman in black to his family and friends by performing his story on stage. It is obvious at the beginning of the story that Kipps has never performed before, and so he recruits the Actor to help him perform his story. Within their onstage play, The Actor plays a young Arthur Kipps, whilst the 'actual' Arthur Kipps plays various other characters that appear within his story - these include Keckwick - the driver of the Horse and Trap, Mr Bentley - Arthur Kipps employer who sends him to Eel Marsh house and Samuel Daily - who befriends Kipps on his train to Crythin Gifford and who Kipps seeks advice from about Eel Marsh house - as well as the narrator of the story and various other characters Kipps meets along his journey.
At the beginning of the play, they regularly switch from reality into rehearsing 'the play', showing the alternate stories via white and blue lighting. However, towards the second half of the story, The Actor encourages them to rehearse the play continuously without stopping. Although I did enjoy the first part of the story, the switching back and forth between reality and the play, did get slightly irritating. It was understandable as to why they used this technique as it ensured that the audience remembered that they were performing a play within a play, but also to make it slightly more realistic - for example, the day would come to an end, so they'd stop rehearsing the play and come back the next day to continue. However, I found the second half of the play much more enjoyable as it was more continuous for the story and allowed me to get more invested in the story being told.
After the pairing began telling the story, we follow a young Arthur Kipps (aka The Actor) from London, where he receives his assignment, on his journey to Crythin Gifford, and on the horse and trap to Eel Marsh house. This is where Arthur begins seeing the woman in black and hearing creepy noises around the house - the rocking chair with no one in it, the doors slamming and deafening screams. Once this begins he starts unveiling the story of Alice Drablow - the owner of Eel Marsh house up until her recent death, Jennet Humfrye her sister who is the infamous Woman in Black and Jennets son Nathaniel who is adopted by Alice and her husband before his devastating death when he was only 7 years old; and is the sole reason for Jennet becoming the Woman in Black in the first place.
The Woman in Black is currently touring around the UK and playing at the Fortune Theatre in London. To find out more information about the dates and show click here.
"From the start it has been the Theatres business to entertain people...it needs no other business than fun"
Until Next Time,

Dreads are Complete!!!

Wow, those look great! I've always wanted dreads. Were those difficult to make or install?ReplyDelete
There was a woman on the metro next to me the other day who had dreads that long, and I'm pretty sure hers were real. She was an older lady, and it looked like she'd had them a long time because they were streaked with silver. I was a bit fascinated but tried not to stare! Haha.ReplyDelete
Is it hard to get used to so much extra hair all at once?
well LOOK AT YOU! omgoodness!! I LOVE them! they look much more natural than mine-- which I really like! you should be so proud of yourself, making AND installing them!! that baffles my mind! i can imagine your arms are really tired!! i just can't tell you how pretty you look!ReplyDelete
good job, beautiful lady!! xoxo
Thank you so much for the comments!! They weren't that hard to make or install... just tedious! It took me ALL DAY to make them and about 3 hours to get them in my hair!ReplyDelete

나 여기있어! Here I am!
I haven't gone anywhere. In fact, I've been pretty steady with the Korean as well.
Also, Korean Friend 2.0 and I have been working out great. He's cooler than kimchi and smart as hell. One of the best things about studying with him is that he rarely thinks that we spend enough time on Korean. Just when I start to say, "Well, maybe we should start in on the English stuff..." he jumps in with, "No, let's spend some more time on Korean." Progress is slow, but steady.
He teaches me fun things to say. For example, today we covered, "That guy over there is handsome," as well as how to comment that someone has pit stains (a nice combination of the words "armpit" and "sweat"). You know, useful stuff.
And with his English, we are reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. He underlines the words that he has questions about and then we go over them and BUILD VOCABULARY! It's every teacher's dream come true, a student that wants to improve vocabulary. The words that he underlines are tough words. Many of them I've never seen. Many of them I have seen, but have no idea what they mean. Even more impressive, are the seemingly obscure words that he doesn't underline. Because he knows them. And when I quiz him on them just to make sure, he knows exactly what they mean. Smart man. 그 남자 진짜 센스있어. That man really has sense (smarts).
As for me, the majority of my study time has centered around watching Korean dramas. It's amazing, you know, how many words I am now able to pick up. Now whole phrases sometimes, too. The lessons that I've learned and written in my notebook come to life!
No pictures in this post. I'll try to make the next one much more colorful. Also, I will attempt to count the hours of TV I've watched. I wonder how many it's been by now...
안녕! Bye!

What sort of hosting does your website need? This is one of the first questions that neophyte web owners may ask. Truly, the internet hosting you need would largely rely upon the goals of your website. In the event you would be putting up a web site just for personal use, like a weblog, which your pals can access just to know what is new and occurring with you, then you definately would probably not be needing a complicated type of website hosting. You may just settle for the cheapest plan available. You might also want to try free website hosting too. A well-established web hosting provider sometimes hosts up to thousands of websites.Advertisements

iPowerWeb is a popular web hosting company that hosts more than 300,000 websites. For that reason, a web hosting company need many web servers (essentially, these are computers) to 'store' the website. And all these web servers are connected to the Internet through high speed Internet connection and housed in a physical building called 'data center'. In order to guarantee all the web servers are safe, secure and fully operational all time, a data center is a physically secure 24/7 environment with fire protection, HVAC temperature control, virus detections, computer data backup, redundant power backup and complete disaster recovery capabilities.
Web hosting is the business practice of providing space and bandwidth on a high-powered computer server that is connected to the Internet at very high speeds. Hosting companies maintain large networks of high-powered web server computers in a physical location known as a data center.

Do not expect Cole Hamels to be traded before Thursday's non-waiver trade deadline.
There has been plenty of speculation recently about his availability, but sources told MLB.com on Tuesday that the Phillies have had no substantive talks with any team about him. That includes the Dodgers. There are multiple reports that the Dodgers and Phillies have been in contact recently, and the Phillies have requested the Dodgers' top three prospects to make a deal.
But one source said the Phillies have made no such requests because the two teams have not talked that in depth.
The Phillies have made teams aware they would need to be thoroughly impressed to trade Hamels, but talks have never gotten much further than that. Hamels allowed six hits and struck out eight in eight scoreless innings last night against the Mets to improve to 6-5 with a 2.55 ERA. He has a 1.58 ERA…

First case reports of acquired immunodeficiency appeared in 1981 from Los Angeles. The patients were at late stages of the disease that we now know as AIDS and suffered from multiple opportunistic infections. In this paper, Dr. Michael Gottlieb and coauthors described the first case reports of acquired immunodeficiency in gay men and correctly identified deficiency of CD4 lymphocytes as an important factor linking these cases together.
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and mucosal candidiasis in previously healthy homosexual men: Evidence of a new acquired cellular immunodeficiency
N Engl J Med. 1981 Dec 10;305(24):1425-31

View the rest of the series:All years > 1982
Commentary by Michael Gottlieb
In this paper, my co-authors and I from UCLA made the first detailed case reports of the acquired immune deficiency syndrome with opportunistic infections and Kaposi's sarcoma. We also described the immunologic findings in these patients including the Leu-3 (CD-4) cell deficiency that is a central feature of HIV- 1 infection. Six months earlier we briefly described these same four cases in a series of five with pneumocystis pneumonia (Pneumocystis pneumonia-Los Angeles, Morbid. Mortal. Weekly Rep. 30:250-2, 1981.) The date of that report, June 5, 1981, is considered the anniversary of the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
The same issue of the Journal contained two other articles from New York City hospitals reporting slightly different clinical presentations of the syndrome. One by Frederick Siegal et al described severe perianal herpes simplex in homosexual men. The other by Henry Masur et al reported community-acquired pneumocystis pneumonia including cases among both homosexual men and intravenous drug users. I believe that our paper was selected as the lead article because of the previously published brief report, and the identification of the CD-4 T cell lesion. We were fortunate to have had access to cutting edge technology for quantifying T cell subsets in John Fahey's laboratory at UCLA. It was readily apparent that the immune deficiency in our patients was acquired, as the patients had no history of prior infections. In early 1982 the CDC officially named the syndrome acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Because of the striking epidemiology (all of our patients were homosexual men), and based on the precedent of immune dysfunction caused by other viruses, we focused on a viral etiology and suggested that the condition might represent a "transmissible immune deficiency." We erred in proposing cytomegalovirus (CMV) as the etiologic agent, although we did acknowledge the possibility that the immune deficiency was the result of exposure to an "undetected microorganism, drug, or toxin." Two years later, Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, Jean-Claude Chermann, and Luc Montagnier described that previously undetected microorganism, LAV (HIV-1), using human CD-4 cells as a culture medium.
In the same issue of the Journal, David Durack wrote an editorial in which he correctly doubted that CMV was causal, but in fact the omnipresence of active CMV in our patients was a consequence rather than a cause of the profound CD-4 lymphopenia. In addition to the CD-4 depletion and reversed Leu-3/Leu2 (CD-4/CD-8) ratio in our patients, we reported an increased percentage of activated (OKT-10) T cells, designated CD-38 in current terminology. Others have generously cited this as a seminal observation of the generalized immune activation associated with HIV. However in my view, the activated T cells in these advanced patients could well have been secondary to multiple active opportunistic infections.
Today, thirty years later, I can visualize those first patients in greater detail than patients I saw yesterday. They could see that their doctors were baffled as to why they were immune deficient, but they were unaware that their underlying illness was a new disease that would quickly prove fatal; all died within the first year after their pneumocystis diagnosis.
Back then I had a feeling that our description of AIDS as a new disease was going to be a big medical story. I could not have imagined that our few patients would be the first recorded cases in a tragic, global epidemic that would cause 30 million deaths, leave 33 million infected, and after 30 years would still have no end in sight.

Who Killed Christine Casilio?
A True Crime Author Digs For the Truth
By: Beverley Simcic
Who Killed Chrissy? was a long spiritual journey for me, and one that has produced rewards of healing my psyche and releasing fear that I carried around for thirty years----writing a haunting memoir really does help the victims of secondary trauma murder cases to heal. The problem is that I didn't know I was a victim too. Being the person who was there with the murder victim and having all those feelings of being helpless and fearful, built up inside of me over many years, I felt I had to write the story. My story had to be told in order that I could have the satisfaction that I'd done all that I could to expose an unsolved murder.
I finally acquired the courage to write about it, and in doing so, have healed many of the wounds that I had stored up since Chris was murdered in 1982.
I didn't know Christine Casilio well. She was not a close friend, just an acquaintance and a neighbor in an old apartment building we both lived in on
Riverview Avenue in
. This made telling her story even more
difficult, but I felt that telling it from beginning to end, and how we both
hopped a plane for a vacation in Las Vegas together, was the key to pulling out
my memories of the time we spent together in a town that has no mercy on
anyone. In the process, I pulled out
some memories that I didn't want, and they frightened me even more----this was,
and still is, an unsolved mystery! Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
My book is not a typical true crime read, in that it does not have a court room scene, nor does it have a prosecution of a murderer. It is an unsolved murder mystery in true form. There are suspects; some of which stand out plainly, and some that lurk as the unnamed acquaintances that were just there----ones that no one may ever remember.
There are many unanswered questions in the murder of Christine Casilio, but the ones that look you in the eye and stare you down are the ones that haunt me….
Like, why would two
Vegas homicide detectives walk into a gruesome scene
of a partially naked woman hanging halfway into a water filled bathtub; her
head submerged and covered up by the bed comforter, and then walk away casually
and never have it declared a homicide?
If they had, it would today be an official cold case, but it isn't----it
is forgotten. Christine Casilio is forgotten----that
is why I wrote my book.
About the Author:
I've been writing in various capacities all my life. Having been a four time entrepreneur and small business owner for thirty years, most of my writing has been for sales, marketing and promotional purposes. As a teen I wrote poetry.
Who Killed Chrissy was started in 2006, and with no real aspirations of publication at that time, it languished along and sat on my desk. After Amazon self publishing came along, I got more ambitious with my goals of publishing my book.
It turned into a six year journey until I finally finished the book. The research end of it was a daunting task for many years.
I will now be writing memoirs. My next book is a series of three, possibly five books in the Boomer Woman Diaries series, and will also be featured on Amazon Kindle.

Doctors in India successfully transplanted a 43-year-old woman's womb to her daughter, so that she could experience childbirth.
In what might be one of the most poignant medical procedures you've heard about lately, a 43-year-old woman in Pune, India offered her uterus to her 21-year-old daughter who was born without one. The womb was transplanted in the young woman in the first surgery of its kind in the country, CNN reports.
The hospital's medical director, Dr. Shailesh Puntambekar, who led the procedure said, "The patients are fine. The surgery took nine and a half hours in total."
That said, there are a variety of questions that remain. The daughter will need to wait a year and allow her body to adjust to her uterus before she can try to get pregnant through in-vitro fertilization (IVF). And only six babies have ever been delivered from a uterine transplant—two from the same mom, according to Dr. Mats Brännström, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.
The first womb transplant here in the U.S. was attempted last year, but failed, reportedly due to a sudden complication related to a yeast infection.
Including this latest procedure in India, there have only been 30 attempts at uterine transplants globally. Clearly, it's a very new and complicated surgery, and there's much room for advancement, with so much at stake for the women involved.
Dr. Puntambekar, who said he feels "responsibility on his shoulders," shared this heartrending truth with CNN: "We are responsible for the patient and fulfilling their dreams of becoming a mother, which was impossible for them until now." We can only wait and hope that, one day, those dreams become a reality for this young woman and others who are on the cutting edge of medical technology.

"I lost my keys" she said, expecting others around to help her find it
"If that's the case, there's no point looking for it then. its gone forever" her colleague said
"Whatt?? Cannot be, I just kept it on the table like 15 minutes ago"
"Oh you mean, you misplaced your keys?"
Not an ideal time for an English lesson you'd think…
Let's start off by getting the definitions correct. Misplace is when we notice something is missing and start looking for it. Something that is misplaced is found, and something that is gone is lost, lost means Gone forever.
So for example you can misplace your keys and lose your mind 😛😛
Let me play out a scenario for you:
lost sorry misplaced your gold earrings and its nowhere to be found and you're in absolute panic mode, frantically turning things upside down, maybe say a prayer or two.. or even go an eat a couple of almonds (what?? like you did not know it helps increase memory) Some might even google: I've lost my keys, what should I do?
People would do almost anything BUT stay calm. You've only misplaced it, not lost it.. as yet at least, so there's still hope right? so RELAX.
What do we need to do? (besides panic of course)
~ Simply don't look for it.. for a while at least. The chances are the more you look for it, the more it will elude your eyes. And of course your heart is racing, your mind is stressed. Not an ideal situation to be doing any kind of activity.
~ Remember the object isn't really lost, most probably you are. The object is stationed at one place, you're the one moving around 😂😂
~ The 3 c's, remaining calm, confident and comfortable. You WILL definitely find it eventually.
~ You're probably looking at it and can't see it. Look once and look well.
~ It is most probably under something else, start by looking at such places.
Keys, jewelry, spectacles, earphones, pen drives are things that get misplaced almost on an everyday basis, so if you're someone who goes through something like this often..this post will be helpful to you. That said, it would be good to be organized, everything goes back in their proper place at the end of the day so there is no such worry the next morning.
How about executing a few organisational skills at home? We all do it at our work places.
And of course some people have BIGGER problems like:
Have a good day people.
Please find your way back home after work.

Remember the beancurd craze 2 years ago that saw many people buying stacks and stacks of it home? The craze has died off, but once in awhile when I feel like having a nice cool dessert, 51 Soya Beancurd still manages to hit all the right spots.
With numerous flavours such as original, almond, and mango, it's a choices galore! I've came to the conclusion that original tastes the best as it allows the subtle soy flavour to shine. The pudding from this stall is silky, smooth, and glides easily down your throat. If you want to end off an oily meal with something light and cool, their beancurd pudding is perfect!
If Lao Ban has a queue and you're lazy to join it, give 51 Soya Bean a shot! I think it's as good as Lao Ban, or even better.
Back when I was interning in a company located near Tampines Mall, my colleagues always give me a "You are definitely addicted" look whenever they see me appear back in office after lunch with a box of 51 soya bean curd. I was rather crazy over it, I think; I would buy it about 3 times a week. In conclusion, thank God for that outlet in Tampines Mall, it saves me from being hungry and falling asleep at work in the afternoons.
I especially love the Almond version. There's something about the almond taste that reminds me fondly of the almond jelly that mummy use to make when I was young. They have many different flavours too; durian and strawberry to name a few. Personally never tried the others other than almond cause they feel a bit too unorthodox. I should though, sometime soon. Affordable dessert at $1.50 onward, 51 soya bean curd is certainly a refreshing tea time snack.
Optional Information:
If you've tasted their bean curd, you wouldn't be surprised at the taste of their soy milk. The milk is the EXACT replica of the bean curd; bearing the same degree of sweetness and satisfaction you'd expect.
The sugar syrup they put is fantastically balanced, giving the drink just the right amount of sweet. The syrup blends perfectly with the soy and gives an indescribable taste that leaves you wanting for more. And luckily for us, it only costs a dollar.
For those of you dying to taste the bean curd but hesitating due to its inconvenience, the soy milk would be the best choice.
Optional Information:
Don't get me wrong, this is definitely one of my favourite places to get Lao Ban. They're quite generous with the bean curd too. The lao ban is deliciously silky and smooth, and its not too cloying. An added bonus is the fact that it's made fresh, so it doesn't have that artificial, leftover flavour to it.
The lao ban however, is a little too powdery for my liking. You can actually see dregs at the bottom of the bowl when you're done with it! The surface of some of the lao bans I've bought is uneven and leaves a strange after taste sometimes. Still, this is definitely the lao ban I patronise the most, and hopefully expansion does not affect the quality of their products.
51 Soya Bean, originally only located at a few hawker centres can now be found at almost every hawker centre. It has become a part of my meals. It is very light, very suitable for dessert or mid-day snacks. I never a fan of traditional bean curd, only eating it once every blue moon, but this soya bean pudding simply blew me away. Not only is the taste different, it is not as sweet as the traditional ones, and it leaves a nice after taste as well.
The queues of 51 Soya Bean is also relatively short, waiting time is usually lesser than 10 minutes, not because there isn't much customers, but because the service is really quick! The stall at the Army Market has more than 3 refrigerators containing their products, thus do not run out as fast.
Hubbs and I used to be fans of Lao Ban soya bean pudding before the crazy long queues blew us away. One day, we were not able to buy our Original flavor pudding and left dejected. Hence, we bought 2 bowls of 51 Soya Bean puddings and have not looked back since.
Smooth, savory and oh, so easy on the throat. Swirl it around your palate and you realize that it doesn't have that strong "coffee-mate" taste like Lao Ban. And the people who tend the store are much more friendly than Lao Ban's.
It is best consumed straight out of the fridge and not after you have brought it along for half a day's shopping.
Optional Information:
Yet another one of the soya bean pudding chains that have been popping up like crazy recently, 51 Soya Bean makes quite a decent bowl of pudding.
In this nationwide craze, I would say 51 Soya Bean could give competitors a run for their money. 51 Soya Bean is soft and sweet, even sweeter than most other soya bean puddings out there and has a really nice texture. Its smooth texture makes it very easy to eat and digest. It makes for a good after-meal snack,and is definitely more affordable than most other desserts out there.
However, I don't think 51 Soya Bean can beat my personal favourite; Lao Ban Soya Beancurd which everyone says has lost its touch, but I strongly beg to differ.
Optional Information:
Sweet, smooth, and soft, it is no wonder that soya pudding is currently the "in" thing right now in Singapore. 51 Soya Bean sells a variety of soya pudding with different flavours to choose from, much like its many emerging competitors. 51 Soya Bean is one of the more famous soya pudding brands, which I think is most probably owing to the superior texture of its soya pudding.
However, a pity that it cost rather expensive and can fetch up to $2.50 for a small bowl of flavoured soya pudding! Because of the cost factor, I would only take it as an occasional treat.
Personally, I feel that the brand also lose out in terms of its visual appeal. The name itself already seems rather boring, coupled with the plain packaging and the average looking store front, I really wouldn't try their soya pudding unless recommended by a friend. Perhaps this is why the recently opened branch in Causeway Point seems somewhat empty most of the time.
Despite the current craze on beancurd puddings, I'll have to say I'm not a super big fan, I like them, sure, especially on a hot afternoon, but I'm definitely not one who'll go crazy about them and buy a whole bunch home.
Truth be told, though lao ban was supposedly the king of beancurd puddings, I cant differentiate it from other stalls. In fact, while i was at clementi a few friends of mine decided to do an experiment and determine which stall sells the best beancurd puddings, lao ban, amasoy or this, 51 soya bean.
I'm happy to pronounce that the winner (in my opinion) is 51 soya bean!
With a silky texture that melts in your mouth, the pudding is delicious and perfectly made. The only problem is that there's not enough!
Optional Information:
The bean curd from 51 was the one which got me really going crazy after all the chilled bean curd! But of course, none that I've tried so far are as good as 51's bean curd in terms of taste and texture.
Honestly, I think that 51's bean curd are better than those of laoban's. One main difference is how 51's bean curd doesn't leave a layer of 'skin' after being left around for a while, unlike those of laoban's. They are, of course, both sweet but not sickly so, with such tender texture you just feel like eating mouth after mouth nonstop. It makes a great dessert or even a light snack in between meals.
It doesn't seem worthy of queuing 15 minutes just for this one small bowl but you can make it up by buying several bowls at once, for your friends and family. Sharing is happiness and sharing this delightful dessert is pure bliss indeed. Indulge in this low-fat sweetness now!

So, inspired by the economy post, I do sort of agree that corpies should get more, but I may or may not be biased. However, what I don't like is the lack of commitment. Corpies can often benefit from all kinds of reimbursements after a month or two of play, which is great, but if they quit, get fired, or lose their gear, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of repercussions. As a security officer, for example, you could get tens of thousands of chyen reimbursed for cyber upgrades, but if you leave the corp, they kinda just shrug and say, "Oh, well." In my opinion, you should be expected to pay all that back, and if you don't, it becomes a fine and maybe even a bounty. In certain conditions, though, corporations may agree to pay for a certain employee, inviting them to switch corporations.
On the plus side, this debt could generate RP on a few different levels. If you feel trapped where you are, you'd have to ass-kiss, convince, and prove your way into another corp even more. Corpies would try to leave for the Mix, only to find themselves hunted for their debt. On the other hand, some players may feel it's not worth playing their character once that debt becomes a problem they can't afford, and will go jumping off skywalks in the hopes of starting fresh.
This system actually would have worked better without the perk system, because EVERYONE would be in debt, but maybe those perks cost a certain amount that's added to a character's debt. The point is, it feels unthemely for a corp to invest in something, then be totally fine with losing that investment, no matter how small. There should be some kind of system in place to ensure loyalty.

margaret thatcher is dead, and as can be expected, there is a lot of reaction to that news. there is the normal expected reaction of the present british prime minister, praising her achievements and her qualities. there are the tributes from other leaders around the world. there are the expressions of grief from conservatives.
but there are also the opposite: those who say they won't mourn her, those who are prepared to review the severely negative impacts of her legacy, and those who are actually celebrating her death.
about the latter, there has been much righteous indignation, both from the left & the right. it's considered in bad taste, nasty, disrespectful. even criticism of her policies and her beliefs has been sidelined with a "we shouldn't speak ill of the dead". even by those who fully understand the effects of those policies and the
widespread suffering it has caused. even by those who sympathise with
the poor & dispossessed.
the celebrations and reactions of glee reminded of similar reactions in iraq at the fall of saddam hussein & in libya with the capture & death of muammar gaddafi. those pictures went around the world and we didn't see too much criticism about such celebrations being disrespectful or nasty. the overwhelming opinion appeared to be that people were right to celebrate the removal of a tyrant, and that it's ok to be happy about the death of someone who had caused so much harm.
there was a similar, pretty global, reaction to the death of osama bin laden. a lot of the reaction was of a celebratory nature.
yet a similar reaction by people who directly experienced the tyranny of ms thatcher's policies is getting a completely different reaction.
i can say that i was never supportive of celebrations of death - for example, see here and here. i felt pretty much the same when saddam hussein was hanged & no, i don't think actually celebrating margaret thatcher's death is a good idea. and it's possible that some of those who are against the celebration of ms thatcher's death were also against the celebration of the deaths of these others i have named. but the majority of people who have been complaining today are showing an appalling double standard - cheering the death of some but not accepting that others would cheer the death of a british leader for similar reasons.
but this notion of not speaking ill of the dead, i have a different view about that. i think there is a public good over-ride to that rule, and particularly when someone has had such an overarching influence on a global scale. i think people should have to live with the consequences of their legacy, that the pain they left behind should be remembered at the time of their death. i don't think it's right that their history should be described in glowing terms in the first few days after their death, thereby making it difficult to correct later on. especially in a world where every record is more or less permanent.
this sentiment was best expressed by the widely-shared glenn greenwald piece in the guardian:
This demand for respectful silence in the wake of a public figure's
death is not just misguided but dangerous. That one should not speak ill
of the dead is arguably appropriate when a private person dies, but it
is wildly inappropriate for the death of a controversial public figure,
particularly one who wielded significant influence and political power.
"Respecting the grief" of Thatcher's family members is appropriate if
one is friends with them or attends a wake they organize, but the
protocols are fundamentally different when it comes to public discourse
about the person's life and political acts. I made this argument at
length last year when Christopher Hitchens died and a speak-no-ill rule
about him was instantly imposed (a rule he, more than anyone, viciously
violated), and I won't repeat that argument today; those interested can
read my reasoning here.
i'd strongly recommend reading the piece with his "reasoning", where he talks about the events after ronald reagan's death and makes the powerful point:
How they are remembered is not strictly a matter of the sensitivities of
their loved ones, but has substantial impact on the culture which
discusses their lives. To allow significant political figures to be
heralded with purely one-sided requiems — enforced by misguided (even if
well-intentioned) notions of private etiquette that bar discussions of
their bad acts — is not a matter of politeness; it's deceitful and
propagandistic. To exploit the sentiments of sympathy produced by death
to enshrine a political figure as Great and Noble is to sanction, or at
best minimize, their sins. Misapplying private death etiquette to public
figures creates false history and glorifies the ignoble.
more than this, it's disrespectful of all the people who have suffered and continue to suffer because of the political decisions of the deceased. to sideline that suffering is to hide it at the time when there is the greatest opportunity to highlight the consequences of the deceased's actions. while we are ready to consider the pain of the family of the deceased, why should we not equally be willing to openly acknowledge the pain of thousands, sometimes millions of others, those who were innocent and hurt through no fault of their own, but only because they had the misfortune to be born in place and time when the deceased had power over them?
the only final point i want to make here is one that is being made across many feminist blogs around the world in regards to ms thatcher, and one that is continuously made regarding any number of women: disagreeing with her politics is ok, attacking her for being a woman is really not ok. there is no need to call her a witch, or any other gendered insult. to do so harms all women, not just this one woman. after all, there is plenty to criticise about her policies, beliefs and actions.
regardless of that, i do not rejoice at her death. i don't wish hell for her or for any other person. i do wish that she is remembered accurately, which includes all the negative aspects as well. RIP margaret thatcher.

Miami Dolphins
Miami Dolphins' Dion Jordan still a work in progress
A starting battle at defensive end between Olivier Vernon and first-round pick Dion Jordan likely will develop at some point.
But it hasn't yet, and defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle said Monday that Jordan has not logged enough practice snaps to realistically compete for a starting job "at this point."
What's more, Jordan is now sidelined because of an issue relating to the shoulder that was surgically repaired in February, according to a league source. The situation is not considered serious, but Jordan has been held out of practice the past two days.
"He hasn't gotten the reps that would be necessary to start at this point," Coyle said. "But we still have three weeks of training camp. So it's a little premature to determine exactly what his status would be as we begin the season."
Jordan played just seven snaps Friday against Jacksonville, a week after he played only on third downs against Dallas. Asked when he might receive work on first and second downs, Coyle said:
"We're obviously taking some precaution with Dion, not wanting to overload him at this point. We've got a plan in place that we think will get him ready to participate at the level we feel best at to complete the season.
"We would like to see as much of him as we can, but we will be careful as we proceed. He's working his tail off. The other night, he had one of the most explosive hits in the game. When they came out in the Wildcat, he was in the backfield making a great, athletic play."
Wait on Wallace
Three days after Ryan Tannehill did not even throw a pass to Mike Wallace in their first preseason game together, both offered cautionary words to those eager to see them connect on deep balls.
"It's not going to be five touchdowns a game," Tannehill said, noting the two connected on a deep touchdown throw in 7-on-7 drills Monday. "That's what everyone kind of seems to be hinting at. He's going to get open short, deep and crossers. It's going to happen. There's no need to panic, no need to push to try to force him the ball. We're coming along nicely."
Said Wallace: "I want to make [deep catches] just as much as anybody. It's not just about deep balls. You have to work on other things. Shorter routes. It's not as easy as people think."
After studying tape of the Jacksonville game, Tannehill second-guessed only one decision not to throw to Wallace. He completed a pass to Brandon Gibson on that play but said he could have connected with Wallace "if I had stayed in the pocket a little bit, kept my eyes downfield."
• Tannehill has been flushed from the pocket several times and said that has an impact on his ability to spot receivers downfield.
"It's huge," he said. "Anything downfield is going to take a little bit of time to develop. If you're having to move around quickly … you're not going to be keep your eyes downfield and get the ball downfield. That's one thing we were working on this week."
Lineups, injuries
•Nate Garner
was the first-team right guard, withJosh Samuda
spending his second day in a row exclusively at center after starting at right guard in the first two exhibition games.
Lance Louis, who had knee surgery last November, worked with the second team at right guard and said he is "working toward" making his preseason debut Saturday at Houston but stopped short of saying it's definite.
• Defensive tackleRandy Starks
, who hasn't practiced in 10 days because of a knee injury, did rehabilitation work inside the practice bubble and was seen limping. Tight endKyle Miller
(ankle) also remains sidelined.
•Evan Rodriguez
replacedJorvorskie Lane
as the first-team fullback.
•Richard Marshall
andDimitri Patterson
continue to alternate first-team snaps at the starting cornerback spot oppositeBrent Grimes
, withNolan Carroll
andWill Davis
working on the second team.
Cornerback Jamar Taylor, a second-round pick who has been slowed by soreness from his sports hernia surgery, will be given an increased workload and hopes to play Saturday at Houston.
"The good news is he's been in the classroom, has a sense of the scheme," Philbin said. "But [practice] is a better teacher than the classroom. You try to get him as many reps as you possibly can."

College Athletics
Two athletes from the Southern Oregon University track and field team and two from the 21st-ranked Raider softball team have been voted Cascade Collegiate Conference athletes of the week, the league office announced Monday.
Raider catcher/third baseman Harlee Donovan is the CCC softball player of the week after becoming the first player in team history to hit home runs in six consecutive games with a five-homer, 11-RBI weekend in SOU's four-game sweep of Oregon Tech. In Game 1 of the series, the junior hit a two-run shot to make it 2-0 in the first inning and a three-run shot to make it 6-2 in the fifth. In Game 2, she drove in the go-ahead run on a fielder's choice after going solo in the top of the first. And in Game 3, she delivered her biggest hit of the series with a two-run blast that erased the Raiders' 6-4 deficit in the seventh inning and allowed them to win in extras. She also drew five walks on the week.
Victoria Mackey earned the pitching honor after running her streak of consecutive innings pitched without allowing an earned run to 30 this season and 37 1/3 dating back to last year. The sophomore, who has worked exclusively in relief, picked up a three-inning save on Friday, her second, and a four-inning win on Saturday to improve to 4-0. It was also the 20th victory of her young career.
Matt East is the men's track athlete of the week for topping a 43-person field in the 100 meters Saturday at the Raider Invitational with an NAIA 'A' mark of 10.59 seconds. He later helped SOU's 4x100 team bring its former NAIA 'B' time to an 'A' at 41.34, the fourth-best in the NAIA this season.
Rakayla Tyler received the women's track award. The sophomore broke a 13-year-old SOU record in the 100 meters with a time of 12.13 seconds which stands as best in the CCC this season and makes her a provisional qualifier for the NAIA Championships. She also helped SOU's 4x100 team to an NAIA 'A' mark of 47.87 that broke another school record.
