Hi all you fellow,
I know that I'm not coming to visit very often, and the conference discussions have been helpful, the ones on facebook more so than the ones here, but I wonder about any other uses that we may have for this that facebook isn't fulfilling.
Any thoughts, or maybe just leave a comment if you see this at all and how often you actually come to visit.
Get the skills you need for your career! Come to the Marie Curie workshop and register to ESOF2010!
Tomorrow's researchers should not only be excellent in science but need to have key additional skills in order to:
- Communicate and "sell" their research to public stakeholders and politicians to generate support
- Develop collaboration with private companies to enhance the use of fundamental research
- Foster creative partnerships with other research fields
- Be their own boss – spinning out research ideas into business
- Be informed about funding opportunities
This is what the Marie Curie conference offers to Marie Curie Fellows:
a day and a half of training on essentials skills for excellent researchers.
Specialists from academia and private companies, consultants and the EU Marie Curie team will train you and you will be able to interact with them and benefit from their advice and best practice.
It will also be a unique opportunity for you to practise new skills and gain visibility in the research community with your posters and oral presentations dedicated to communication, or private/academic collaboration. You will also have the opportunity to share your dissemination success stories and explore how to reach out and create synergies with other scientific fields.
The conference also includes:
- Workshop on how to access EC funding
- Workshop on how to write successful grant proposals
- A series of workshops on how creative academics can exploit their research potential in the private sector, how to exploit their fundamental research, and how to communicate to a nonspecialised audience.
Opportunities in alternative careers and skills needed by researchers will be discussed with specialists. More experienced fellows will also give guidance on making a success of your career in Academia.
What type of Poster should I make?
Posters will not just be regular scientific posters but should instead reflect your capacity to sell your own research to scientists from other fields, or be an example of best practice in private/academic collaboration, and/or in public dissemination.
Poster themes could include:
- fostering creative collaborations with other scientific fields
- best practice in dissemination
- exploiting your research results with the private sector
- success stories in research careers
Important! The purpose of these posters is to give you the opportunity to practise these new skills, so if you feel you are too early in your career or you are not sure about the content, just give it a try and do your best! By performing this exercise, you will benefit even more from the advice given by the speakers.
How to submit? At the time of registration, fellows will be requested to submit the abstract for a poster or an oral presentation in the round tables on the themes of the conference. The abstract should have a maximum of 200 words, with font Times New Roman 12 and no figures.
Who will give oral presentation?
The best abstracts submitted will be selected by a scientific jury and the winners will be invited to give an oral presentation during the MC conference.
The Marie Curie Conference is organized by the European Commission and the Research Executive Agency as a training event for Marie Curie Fellows. It is also a means of monitoring the progress of funded Fellows and assess whether they are receiving diverse training. For all these reasons, Marie Curie Fellows are strongly encouraged to attend the meeting.
Hi all, I finally found something I've been looking for for a long time: one site collecting a lot of design conferences in one place!!
Check it out: http://designcalls.wordpress.com/
All the best,

Virginia Tech and Our Impoverished Language for Evil
Gregg Easterbrook / The New Republic, May 7, 2007
Katie couric: "Just who was the shooter?" Charles Gibson: "Tonight--the survivors, their stories; the shooter, his background." Matt Lauer: "We've now got an identity of the shooter." Wolf Blitzer: "That is the shooter, Cho Seung-Hui."
Learning that there had been a mass killing at Virginia Tech, many in the press began to speak of the "shooter" who had brought horror to the campus: A shooter was loose, a shooter did this, a shooter did that. On ABC, CBS, and NBC news broadcasts in the 72 hours after the tragedy, the word "shooter" was heard roughly three times as often as "killer" or "murderer."The fact that murder had happened at Virginia Tech was clear within hours, if not minutes, of initial reports. Yet plenty of media figures could not bring themselves to say that the killer was a killer, that the murderer was a murderer. Instead, they used "shooter," a weirdly neutral term that practically sounds like a skilled trade. To call someone a "shooter" is to say he was holding a firearm that discharged, but to imply nothing about any moral choice involved or the fact that it's bad to aim a pistol at a helpless person and pull the trigger. Same goes for the word "gunman," also used frequently by journalists and pundits.
There are times when neutral words like "shooter" and "gunman" are justified. In police investigations and legal proceedings that involve the determination of guilt or innocence, dispassionate terms should be used. In news reports about accusations that have not yet gone to trial, cautious phrasing is wise. But there was no possibility that the Virginia Tech deaths were caused by legitimate use of force, mistaken identity, self-defense, or some dreadful accident; the only possible explanation was mass homicide. To call Cho a "murderer" would have been a simple statement of fact. Yet, according to a Nexis search of major U.S. newspapers and wire stories, in the three days following the massacre, 2,516 stories contained the terms "shooter" or "gunman," while just 746 used "murderer" or "killer." And, a full week after the calamity, many news outlets--including CNN, msnbc, and Fox News--were still referring to Cho as a "shooter."Similarly odd was the frequent use of the phrase "shooting spree" to describe the Blacksburg horror. A spree is a gay, carefree outing. Those who say "shooting spree" make it sound as if killing at random is therapeutic, even recreational: He felt depressed, so he went on a shooting spree. The only term that fits what Cho did is "rampage," and a few reports used this word. But a disturbing number opted for "spree."
Commentators even tiptoed away from using the term "madman" to describe Cho. We don't need to be psychiatrists or even be aware of the demented materials he mailed to NBC News to determine that the Virginia Tech murderer was mentally ill. There simply are no circumstances under which a person of sound mind would slaughter 32 unarmed innocents. (Whether he was legally insane--unable to distinguish right from wrong--is a separate question. Most who suffer mental illness remain sane. Cho's suicide sug- gests he was sane; presumably, he killed himself to escape punishment for his crimes.) Yet, even as Cho's crazed messages and psychological-health profile have been revealed, news reports have treated the murderer's history gently. In one story, the worst The New York Times could bring itself to say was that the killer suffered a "troubled mental state" and "imbalance." Had the Times called Cho a "madman," the paper would have been criticized--for using a judgmental term about a mass murderer!But we should be judgmental about murderers and others who commit moral horrors.
Of course, one explanation for the popularity of terms like "shooter" may simply be that, with the proliferation of TV crime dramas, cop slang like "shooter" and "perp" has seeped into everyday language and hence into public discourse. But the larger, more troubling explanation has to do with morality. The Western press and intellectual realms were scoffing at the concept of evil long before George W. Bush cheapened the word through constant bandying. Media and thought leaders don't want to say that the man who chained the exit doors of Norris Hall before he started killing had a mind taken over by evil; they want to dismiss him as no more than a confused gunman, because they don't want to contemplate his demonstration that evil is entirely real. And so they use words like "shooter" that remove the moral dimension, making it seem like terrible events just happen--not that human wickedness causes terrible events. Many news reports spoke of the slaughter as if it had been a bad, bad car crash with no one really at fault.
That Cho became evil is distinct from whether society failed him at earlier points; you can sympathize with his earlier self and agree that someone suffering his condition deserved better care. But set aside whether evil results from psychosis--or from supernatural temptation, genetic flaws, free-will choice, trauma, poverty, wealth, or ideology: Evil exists and must be spoken of as evil, not in euphemism. On a windy Monday morning in Virginia, evil armed itself and performed the most despicable of acts: pleasure in the taking of innocent life. Evil will arm itself again. As George Orwell showed, unless we call a thing what it is, we can neither think about it clearly nor oppose it.

tlm724: I smell a rat here, three actually, Maliki, Allawi and Najafi !!!
I have been in this since February 2005. Since then I have seen a lot of ups and downs in this drama! I know that their has been some progress in Iraq and it's government but since PM Abadi has taken over and promised these reforms and laws can anybody really see much of anything that has changed! It just seems to me that if you were playing a game of football and you had started at the goal post you really haven't gained any yardage after all this time. Just saying IMHO. Everyone be blessed
Abidi did start at the end zone with low score, he gained yardage by re positioning Maliki, gained a great cheer leading team (IMF, World Bank, United Nations)...even advanced a few yards by eliminating the fouling players on his team. He's gained yardage and once he has everything he needs:
5/1/2016 11:38:42 pm
Without some unusual and sudden drastic measure
The drastic measures were taken by someone, Abidi. I believe he allowed the "protesters" in to create a scene so he could invoke the right to dismiss parliment. You never know of what realy went on over there as we get a biased report being lost in translation with it being delivered as an opinion and passed off as Intel. Lots of variables there.

On Friday, I read that Sadr gave Abadi 48 hours to get his cabinet seated. Does anyone have any clue as to what hour Iraq is in during that 48 hour window, given by Sadr?
5/2/2016 08:19:57 am
Nothing changes in Iraq without drama and intrigue. We've been through this before with them. They are on track with their monetary reform. Nothing is going to stop this screaming train. Nothing.
5/2/2016 08:49:28 am
Stephen, amen. And may I just add, Abadi can let these people protest, but pullease, they are not in charge, he is, and if he didn't assert himself then they would think they could run rough shod all over him. It's like the kid in the store throwing a fit, some parents give in and give them the toy, and they use that tactic again because it worked. And some parents pop those little legs, lol. 😀
What started out as a very simple investment that many were thinking would be over very quickly has turned into a worldwide event that has lasted for years. This process involving people, countries, government agencies, intel providers, currency holders, has brought out the best and the worst of all involved, as many have been recognized for their leadership, many have met death during this time and much corruption throughout the entire world has been exposed. The lesson being, nothing worth value ever comes easy and I am not speaking of a monetary gain. As this event is now coming to a conclusion, one can look forward to the "good ole days" ahead, but don't forget that these are the "good ole days".
5/2/2016 11:19:14 am
Ralph, So true, so true. What are your sources saying at this time? Good to hear you chiming in again with your insightful views.
5/2/2016 01:38:14 pm
Ralph you are spot on! Hope we are gaining the wisdom and insights this valuable journey has had for us --staying present to the day to day while we hold the vision of a better future for our loved ones and the Earth. Maybe part of the Divine purpose has been to hone us and make us better humanitarians going forward once the funds show up.

Fifty Cent Fund History
Historical Notes: This sermon was delivered by Russell Conwell to his Grace Baptist (Temple) Church congregation in 1912. The portrait referred to in the text is the property of the current Baptist Temple congregation which is located in Blue Bell, PA. An image of the portrait can be found at the end of this sermon. The Samaritan Hospital referred to in the text is now the Temple University Hospital. The Baptist Temple building referred to in the text is on the Temple campus and was renovated to become the University's Performing Arts Center. The Wiatt Mite Society house referred to in the text was replaced by a new University building some time ago.
Sermon By Russell H. Conwell
Sunday Morning, December 1, 1912.
We are here to unveil this picture of Hattie May Wiatt, a little girl who died in 1886. Years have gone rapidly by, but she still speaks. We intend to put this picture in the pastor's study, in the most prominent place, and keep it there through the years to come, that people as they pass through may ask: "What meaneth that picture?" And the story, simple and wonderful, may be told.
Little Hattie May Wiatt lived in a house near the church in which we then worshipped, at Berks and Mervine, which is now occupied by the Christian Church. It was a small church and was crowded, tickets of admission were obtained sometimes weeks in advance for every service. The Sunday school was as crowded as the rest of the congregation, and one day when I came down to the church, to attend Sabbath school, I found a number of children outside. They were greatly disturbed because they could not get in, on account of the crowd of children already in the Sunday school […]
Endowment Committee Annual Report
The Policy Manual for the Endowment Committee calls for the Committee to submit an annual report to the Church Council. Here is the report for 2015.
Funds on hand at the end of 2015 were $93,414.
During 2015, the Endowment Fund managed the funding for several activities:
Student scholarships
Mission trips
Back to School Blessing
Also during 2015, the Committee:
Sponsored a "Planned Giving" seminar which was well-attended and well-received. A followup session is planned for 2016.
Initiated an "Endowment Committee" section on the church's website.
Publicized the "Fifty-Cent Annuity" in an effort to raise awareness and re-invigorate the campaign.
If you have questions about the Committee's activities, talk to one of the members: Curt Floyd, Chuck Herr, Pastor Sara, Jason Jones, Greg Turk, or Randy Welch.
Have you ever wondered…
Judy Blahofski & Randy Welch
…about that container in the narthex with the sign "50 Cent Annuity"? It all started over a hundred years ago, with a little girl named Hattie May who wanted to attend Sunday School. However, the church in her Pennsylvania neighborhood was so crowded that it didn't have room for all the children who wanted to attend.
That made Hattie very sad. Hattie became sick and tragically died a couple of years later. After the funeral, her mother handed the pastor a little bag that contained 57 cents. Hattie had been saving for a contribution to give to the church for a Sunday school building. The pastor turned the money into pennies and offered them for sale; this raised $250, and most of the buyers gave their pennies back to the church.
After years of hard work and creative fundraising, those 57 pennies grew into enough money to buy the house north of the church. Eventually, more room was needed and the congregation was so inspired by Hattie May's gift of 57 cents that they continued to grow and expand. Eventually Temple University, one of the largest universities in the country, evolved from that inspiration.
The 50 cent annuity fund at Chatham United Methodist Church was started by Jim Fleming in 2009 after he read about Hattie May. It was his vision that if people would drop in their spare change as they walked by, the fund would grow and eventually help the church fulfill its mission to welcome the stranger, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and visit the sick and lonely.
Since its inception, the annuity fund has raised over $7,900. These funds are being held in the building fund and will be used for the planned renovations so we can welcome more people – like Hattie May […]

OCEAN CITY — A marijuana-imitating substance commonly called K2 incense will become illegal to possess within Ocean City's town limits if Mayor Rick Meehan signs at today's council meeting an emergency ordinance that comes after urging from Ocean City Police.
At its last work session, Chief Bernadette DiPino told the mayor and council the substance, which is marketed as an incense or aromatherapy product, is being sold again this year at various Boardwalk shops.
Ocean City Police addressed K2 incense concerns last summer by sending letters to merchants telling them to stop selling the product, but it was never made illegal in the town; that step wasn't taken, since it was gone from store shelves. In March, the Drug Enforcement Agency added five kinds of synthetic cannabis — usually the substance that's marketed as K2 incense, or Spice — to its list of controlled substances that are illegal to have. That change will last a year, while the government considers whether a permanent ban is called for.
Nevertheless, the little foil packets are back, sold alongside paraphernalia commonly used with marijuana and, on some occasions, a liquid product that is marketed as a drink that can help people pass a drug test, DiPino said.
The herbal substances look similar to marijuana and are sprayed with chemicals meant to imitate the active ingredient in the drug.
"This causes us great concern for the safety of our citizens and our visitors, especially of the younger people," DiPino said.
DiPino asked that the ordinance covers the use of drug paraphernalia and other substances similar to K2. She said she believes the town needs to prove to the public that it has a zero-tolerance stance on the topic.
The council voted unanimously — with the exclusion of Joe Hall and Mary Knight, who were absent — to have City Solicitor Guy Ayres draw up an ordinance they could pass tonight and have Meehan sign as an emergency ordinance, which he agreed to do.
Councilman Doug Cymek told the chief she made the council's decision "real easy" when she brought up the issue of overdoses. DiPino said police knew of five people who used K2 incense in Ocean City and overdosed on it, suffering ill effects.

My brave face.
Will I let you see the real me?
Behind my mask.
Will I let you in?
You think you know me.
It is only a part.
The happy face that I share online.
The one where everything is fine.
Everything is okay.
I allow you glimpses every now and then.
But my mask is functional.
A hard exterior designed to keep you out.
To hide my vulnerability.
What if we put down the mask?
Shared a lot more of ourselves.
It is certainly okay to hold some things back.
But what do we have to lose in revealing a bit more.
Expressing ourselves.
Revealing our art.
Speaking our truth.
For today, let us decide to be more honest.
More real.
More open.
And see where this takes us today.

Going Back to the Roots
By Chloe Loquias
CFC SFL Fulltime Missionary
From time to time, I see trees lose their beauty as leaves wither and flowers don't grow on them. Surprisingly there comes a time when I see them all pretty with green, healthy leaves and wonderfully colored flowers on them and amazingly bearing fruits. It took me a while to realize that it's their roots that brings back the real beauty of those trees.
On the weekend of the World Singles Congress in Tarlac this February, I had the same realization for myself as I unexpectedly loved the thought of having the Holy Mass everyday during the Congress; unexpected because I admit that I never had the same appreciation of going to Mass as I do now. Before I even got to the WSC, I had my hesitations and fears because after that Congress I'll be on my training to be a Fulltime Pastoral Worker. I wasn't as excited as I used to be. I had a lot going on in my mind. I was scared – of being a stranger; of the things I'm not used to; and of the things I can't control. The unusual thing was that I felt like God was talking to me through the Mass; the readings and the priests' homilies on faith. They strike me as if they were what I needed to hear from Him; "Take courage for I will never leave you." The same message every time and it was the promise I keep holding on to for almost a month now. The Holy Eucharist in itself is also a reminder of a great promise kept by the Father and made real by Christ's passion. The whole experience made even better with the sessions and workshops. Not to forget the many friendships built and renewed by the Congress.
Just at that weekend, I realized that my withered faith blossomed and ones again will bear much fruit for I reunited with the root of my Catholic faith, the Holy Mass. I may not always be a strong and sturdy tree but my strength will always come from the root of my Catholic faith that will always be connected to my Strong God.

|Colijn de Coter,
Saint Michael Weighing Souls (detail)
(16th c.).
Protestants typically believe that all sins are equally bad, and all Saints are equally good. For example, a Kansas middle school teacher is in hot water for writing, according to the Huffington Post, that "Being Gay Is 'The Same As Murder'." Despite the quotation marks, the teacher didn't actually write that. Instead, he wrote:
All this talk in the news about gay marriage recently has finally driven me to write. Gay marriage is wrong because homosexuality is wrong. The Bible clearly states it is sin. Now I do not claim it to be a sin any worse than other sins. It ranks in God's eyes the same as murder, lying, stealing, or cheating. His standards are perfect and ALL have sinned and fallen short of His glory. Sin is sin and we all deserve hell. Only those who accept Christ as Lord and daily with the help of the Spirit do their best to turn from sin will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. There aren't multiple ways to get to Heaven. There is one. To many this may seem close minded and antagonistic, but it doesn't make it any less true. Folks I am willing to admit that my depravity is just as great as anyone else's, and without Christ I'd be destined for hell, if not for the undeserved grace of God. I'm not condemning gay marriage because I hate gay people. I am doing it because those who embrace it will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. And I desire that for no one.
While he's not actually saying that being gay is the same as murder, he is saying that homosexuality "ranks in God's eyes the same" as everything from lying to murder. In other words, every sin, from the smallest lie to the largest massacre, is equally bad. But is that right?
The clearest Scriptural evidence as to the degrees of sin comes from 1 John 5:16-17,
If any one sees his brother committing what is not a mortal sin, he will ask, and God will give him life for those whose sin is not mortal. There is sin which is mortal; I do not say that one is to pray for that. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin which is not mortal.
In other words, Scripture clearly distinguishes between two categories of sin: mortal (or deadly) sin, and venial sin, which John defines as "sin which is not mortal." A Christian who knowingly and willingly commits a mortal sin cuts himself off from eternal life. That's what John means by "mortal" or "deadly." It kills the soul. So a man who, on his deathbed, is mildly rude to a family member is not going to be treated the same way as a man who, on his deathbed, renounces his faith in Christ. A Just Judge doesn't treat those two cases the same, and God is a Just Judge.
Look at 1 Cor. 11:29-30, in which St. Paul says of the Eucharist that "any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died." Just as mortal sin is mortal to the soul, here again, it's primarily their souls that are weak, or ill, or dead. But notice that we're beginning to see distinctions even within the two categories: that some sinners are objectively worse off than others. So even within the categories of venial and mortal sins, we can distinguish between the degree and gravity of sin.
Jesus refers to sinners as "the sick" in Mark 2:17, and Himself as the Doctor. But of course, there are different kinds and degrees of illness. Even if all of the sick need a doctor, and need healing, it's just not true that a headache and cancer are equally bad. We see this also in Luke 7:36-50, in which Jesus compares sins to different sized debts, in the house of Simon the Pharisee:
Jean Beraud, St. Mary Magdalene in the House of Simon the Pharisee (1891)
One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house, and took his place at table. And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner." And Jesus answering said to him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." And he answered, "What is it, Teacher?""A certain creditor had two debtors; one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. When they could not pay, he forgave them both. Now which of them will love him more?" Simon answered, "The one, I suppose, to whom he forgave more." And he said to him, "You have judged rightly."
Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little." And he said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
Then those who were at table with him began to say among themselves, "Who is this, who even forgives sins?" And he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
And Jesus rather frequently speaks about which of His followers are the greatest. For example, in Luke 9:48, He says, "Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all—he is the greatest." And in Luke 22:26 says that, "the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves." And shortly after this, He says to His Apostles (Lk. 22:28-30):
You are those who have stood by Me in my trials. And I confer on you a kingdom, just as My Father conferred one on Me, so that you may eat and drink at my table in My Kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Now, Jesus doesn't give all of us that authority in Heaven, but just the Apostles who were with Him in His trials. And indeed, the image of Heaven given in Scripture is much more hierarchical than anything Protestants tend to describe. There are various ranks of angelic beings (angels, archangels, principalities, powers, virtues, dominions, thrones, cherubim, and seraphim) lists in Scripture, and rankings even among the Saints. For example, Revelation 14:3 refers to a song that can only be sung by the 144,000 redeemed, a subgroup of the saved who are honored in a special way (see Rev. 14:1-5).
So clearly, both in Heaven and on Earth, the Saints are not merely interchangeable parts. Some have more power and authority. This is one of the reasons why Scripture prescribes intercessory prayer (see 1 Tim. 2:1): because we want those holier than ourselves interceding for us.
This is admittedly a bit of an overview for what should be a basic point: some sins are worse than others, and some Saints are holier than others. This point strikes me as so basic and intuitive that the burden should really be on the one who denies it. Where in Scripture do we ever hear that murder is no worse than, say, lying?

Are they good? Is it s good idea to give a tin of them as a thank you gift?
Sadly, I hardly ever eat them as I try to limit my sweet tooth. They really are delicious. I think they would make a lovely, thoughtful thank-you gift and would be much appreciated. In fact, I wish I had thought of this idea before.
they are delicious!
i'd love to get the little "bites", there's a great variety, in rainbow chocolates, chocolate, white chocolate and oatmeal raisin.
=9 i'd eat it more but like leelee i try to limit my sweet tooth...plus it's fattening.
but yummy and thoughtful!
Yeah they're really good! And would make a great thank you gift as well Good idea!
They're not very good! But it's a nice thought.
The dont taste as good as the real Mrs. Fields Cookies from the mall.
I do have a recipe that comes pretty close tho....let me know if you want it.
Can't you go to the mall and get a tin from there?
They're friggin delicious! All of them! Just thinking about them makes me
They are ok.
they are ok as well but Cheryl and Co have the best cookies and they also have free shipping on some items.
When you order, you can order something for yourself as well
Their cut out cookies frosted are so good it makes me want to live in Ohio.
2 Frosted Cut-out Tins at Cheryl&Co.
I like them....but if you're giving it to someone who is health conscientious.. you might have to rethink... MRS. FIELDS cookies are on the TOP 10 list of "10 Foods You should NEVER eat" list...Number 5 of the NO NO list.
other than that...
I think its a cute gift idea

The Time Traveler's Wife
(Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
In The Time Traveler's Wife, Audrey Niffenegger questions what might happen if time were not a one-way street, if it were possible to revisit important moments in life again, and again, and again. Henry De Tamble is such a time traveler. In moments of stress, a genetic glitch dumps him into his own past, and occasionally into the future. He meets his wife, Clare Abshire, for the first time when he is twenty-eight and she is twenty; however, she has known him since she was six. For Henry, time-travel means arriving naked and vomiting at some other moment of his life, always vulnerable and sometimes in danger. For Clare, loving a time traveler means long days and years of waiting for him to reappear, and never knowing at what age or in what shape he will arrive.
Although Henry is the time traveler, the novel, as its title implies, is ultimately Clare's story, a story of great joy, poignancy, and pain. A modern Cassandra, Clare knows the future, but is unable to change it. Her childhood memories of Henry's visits take on great significance as her life unfolds. Told through an interweaving of Henry's and Clare's distinctive voices, this novel is about love, and about fate, about the way two people are meant to be together, and how they are torn apart.
Niffenegger handles the paradoxes of time-travel with aplomb, and her characters with tenderness. The Time Traveler's Wife is a thoroughly satisfying and thoroughly magnificent story.

Washington, D.C. – Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chairwoman Linda T. Sánchez and the CHC Education Task Force Co-Chairs, Congressman Rubén Hinojosa and Congressman Raúl M. Grijalva, released the following statements in opposition to today's H.R. 5 vote. The Elementary and Secondary Education Reauthorization Act guts education funding, weakens protections for disadvantaged students, does not provide a well-rounded education for all students, and does not support educators.
CHC Chairwoman Linda T. Sánchez: "Every child in the United States has the right to a high-quality education, regardless of race or economic background – H.R. 5 fails to protect this right. Quality, public education opens doors and leads to greater opportunities for working families – it did for mine. I would not be where I am today without the education I received. Unfortunately, H.R. 5 rejects these fundamental commitments to public education and will harm minority and low-income students. This Republican bill drains critical resources and puts public education on a path toward privatization."
CHC Education Task Force Co-Chair Rubén Hinojosa: "While Democrats are looking for ways to expand educational opportunities for all students regardless of their family's financial ability or where they live in the United States, Republicans want to cut out funding and educational opportunities for many students," said U.S. Rep. Rubén Hinojosa. "The Student Success Act is the wrong name for a misguided bill that denies children access to a high quality education and the opportunity to lead successful and prosperous lives. This bill steers funding away from low-income students, students of color, those who are English language learners, and those with disabilities. It takes us backward on equity and accountability, confirming that Republicans do not support the best interests or the needs of three million students in the state of Texas who would be adversely affected under this bill."
CHC Education Task Force Co-Chair Raúl M. Grijalva: "The provisions in H.R. 5 to weaken our public education system are politics at its most cynical; the funding cuts included are politics at its worst. Instead of ensuring every student has the resources needed to succeed, this bill will actually allow for those resources to be siphoned away from underserved populations to better fund schools that are already well-funded. And instead of viewing failing students as a great challenge to overcome, this bill leaves them behind and absolves federal responsibility to ever help them succeed. The GOP isn't just letting our students down – they're intentionally working against them."

Our 1st night was a very bad experience... How worse can it get. 1st the tour agency had us wait at least 1hr for the next plane & another couple to arrive to ride d van. 2nd upon checkin we were given a hotel & no bell boy around that we walked up to 2nd floor with our luggages, only to find out our room is not ready till about 30-mins. So we had to walk back down with our luggages for a new room. 3rd the soda fountain by la altagracia is filled with bees that as my husband filled his cup & drank, he got stung by a bee in his mouth. 4th the towel card they give u for pool use is useless, for as we got there we were told no more towels left and if we want a towel, we walk back to our room to get a white towel from our bathroom. 5th we got a 2-bed instead of 1queen and the other bed had no comforter. 6th the inside of comforter was filled with short hair & not of ours. 7th seriously they still use literally a key & not a key card. 8th the safe was weird & didn't look safe at all. 9th for room service, avoid the cheesecake!!! ...

We have been trying to get creative in what we do with all these house showings. It's so hard to find hours to kill, with three kids and two dogs! At least when it's not raining, we can go to the park. This particular day we got a quick bite to eat, took it to the park and let the pups and babies play.
I was trying to get a picture of the babies sitting in the pretty leaves playing, but this was about as good as it was going to get. The other 8 photos I took all have some version of Aiden standing and running away.
You know how swings have double holes so that kids can sit and face whichever direction is best? They make the PERFECT swings for twins.
Connor and Daddy had a lot of fun while I stayed and pushed the babies on the swings.
Because of those double holes, we can fit all three kids on one swing set.
So, Miss Isabella Lynn just refuses to gain enough weight to come out of her carseat - so at 17 months Aiden and Izzy are both still in their infant seats. Finally, last week I couldn't carry it anymore and had to leave the seats in the car and just grab babies. Isabella is RIDICULOUSLY close to walking full-time - so it'll just be a matter of time before I can set her down and have her walk. But, in the meantime, I cannot carry two carseats anymore. Mr. Howard grabs the seats out of the car when he gets home.
Here is a video of her walking:
Obviously, you can hear me get ridiculously excited and do a very strange laugh. It was only the second time she had ever done it on our tile floor (and the first time I wasn't home).

Varun Dhawan tweets about October coming in April!
October is coming in April! Well, confused o what we are saying? Watch this video by Varun Dhawan and you will get to know.
Since the moment the news of the two being spotted together has broken out, there has been a lot speculation of the two being engaged. Check out what Virat has to say!
It's been almost more than two years, that the two have been going on and off together. Yes, We are talking about B-towns hottest love birds Anushka and Virat. While time and again both of them denied the rumors, of even them dating, there came a big one some days back. Apparently Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma were at Dehradun in Uttranchal, to bade a happy goodbye together to the year 2016. It was after this, that reprots of the two being engaged or two going to exchange rings on the 31st started making rounds. The rumors became all the more strong, when Megastar Amitabh Bachchan and top business tycoon Anil Ambani reached Dehradun yesterday. A picture of the two with a priest was also making a buzz yesterday. But seems like after all this "Shor-sharaba" there is finally an end to all this news. Thanks to Virat Kohli. The cricketer has opened up about his engagement news through these tweets, making all the rumor mills go mum:
" we aren't getting engaged & if we were going to,we wouldn't hide it. Simple... (1/2)— Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) December 30, 2016
he later also through this sarcastic tweet lashed out at media by saying:
(2/2)Since news channels cant resist selling false rumours & keeping you confused, we are just ending the confusion :)— Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) December 30, 2016
So does this mean Amithabh Bachchan and Anil Ambani being present in the same city was just a mere coincidence? Well, only the two can tell us!
As much as we wished for the couple to get enegaged, we will also await the day now, when they make an official announcement.
This is not the first time that such news has been making rounds, last year too, there was a huge murmur about the two being engaged, and tying the knot. It was all wrong when Anushka came out and openly defied all those rumors.
However it won't be surprising to see them even tying the knot anytime in future, as it's not the first time, that we see a celebrity dating a cricketer. Prior to this there have been happy couples like Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra, and ohh the just married Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech!

The present invention relates to communication systems in general, and in particular to a system for one individual to contact another using multiple devices with a single contact attempt.
Single point of contact personal communication systems are desirable for providing a way for one individual to contact another using multiple devices with a single contact attempt. Many individuals use multiple devices and methods to stay in contact with others. Unfortunately, it can be difficult for a person seeking to contact an individual who uses multiple devices and methods for communication because it is unclear what is the best method or device to use. In addition, the requester may not have access to the contact information for all of the individual's devices. Time can be wasted trying multiple methods or trying to locate unknown contact information for the devices, and the person being contacted can wind up with multiple redundant messages on their devices that have to be addressed. Speed in contacting a person is particularly important in the case of an emergency, but the plethora of devices and methods that are designed to make it possible to contact someone in a broad range of circumstances can instead create confusion and delays.
The use of personal emergency, safety warning systems and methods is known in the prior art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,028,514 to Lemelson et al. (the '514 patent) discloses a personal emergency, safety warning system and method. However, the '514 patent does not actively seek contact with any specific individual, and has further drawbacks of requiring an individual to have a specialized receiver.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,728,341 to Puchek et al. (the '341 patent) discloses a monitoring and communication system for stationary and mobile persons that monitors a supervised person. However, the '341 patent does not contact an individual using multiple devices in a sequence defined by that individual, and additionally does not allow the monitored individual to delete redundant inquiries from multiple devices.
Similarly, United States Patent Application Publication No. 2002/0184346 to Mani (the '346 published application) discloses an emergency notification and override service in a multimedia-capable network that effectuates a subscriber-selectable notification scheme with respect to an incoming emergency message directed to a subscriber from an authorized entity. However, the '346 published application publication does not allow an individual to be contacted with non-emergency messages, and does not use the expiration of an allotted time to denote message delivery failure.
In addition, United States Patent Application Publication No. 2003/0069002 to Hunter et al. (the '002 published application) discloses a system and method for emergency notification content delivery that disseminates emergency notification content from an emergency originating source. However, the '002 published application does not connect the transmitting party to the user for real-time communication upon request of the user after verifying that the user's device supports real-time communication with the transmitting party, and also does not notify users of nonemergency messages.
Lastly, United States Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0096042 to Orwick et al. (the '042 published application) discloses an emergency telephone call notification service system and method that provides emergency telephone call notification. However, the '042 published application does not actively attempt to notify a specific individual, and further lacks the ability to contact devices other than telephones.
A need exists for a single point of contact personal communication system that can be used to initiate contact attempts on multiple devices when a user makes a single attempt on one device.
The invention that meets the need described above is a computer/telephony integrated single-point-of-contact system (CISS) that allows a person to initiate multiple attempts to reach a subscriber on multiple devices by only making a single attempt to contact that subscriber on one device. CISS comprises a computer linked to a plurality of databases, a telephone interface attached to the computer, an Internet interface attached to the computer, and a plurality of computer programs in memory or storage connected to the computer. The plurality of databases include device an attributes database, a subscriber database, an authorization database, a device status database, and a message status database. The computer programs determine how to respond to a request to contact a subscriber. If the request is an emergency, the computer repeatedly contacts all of the subscriber's devices until a response is received. Otherwise, the computer contacts the subscriber's devices in a sequential order determined by the subscriber. The computer can also delete redundant un-received messages from a subscriber's devices and create a real-time connection between the requester and the subscriber, if it is technically possible, at the subscriber's request.
The subscriber database stores contact information about individuals. The authorization database stores information about who is authorized to contact a particular subscriber. The device attributes database stores contact information for each subscriber device, along with a time interval to wait before contacting the next device if the subscriber does not respond. The priority list database stores information about the order in which a subscriber's devices are to be contacted. The device status database stores information regarding whether the device is operational as well as its user's status. The message status database stores information regarding the delivery and receipt of messages. When a user makes a call on one device, a computer program searches the subscriber database and finds a plurality of corresponding records in the device attributes database and uses the telephone interface and the Internet interface to send a message to a plurality of devices.
CISS allows an individual to configure a system so that all of their devices can be contacted at once or contacted in a desired sequence in response to a single request for contact. Furthermore, CISS allows users to optionally delete redundant messages from their devices and to initiate real-time communication with the requester if it is technically feasible. CISS allows the individual being contacted to give out only one method for contacting the individual while still allowing the request for contact to be received on any of their devices. Thus CISS allows the individual to gain the convenience of being contacted on any of their devices while maintaining privacy in terms of what types of devices they have and how the individual can be reached directly.
The novel features believed characteristic of the invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, as well as a preferred mode of use, further objectives and advantages thereof, will be understood best by reference to the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
The principles of the present invention are applicable to a variety of computer hardware and software configurations. The term "computer hardware" or "hardware," as used herein, refers to any machine or apparatus that is capable of accepting, performing logic operations on, storing, or displaying data, and includes without limitation processors and memory; the term "computer software" or "software," refers to any set of instructions operable to cause computer hardware to perform an operation. A "computer," as that term is used herein, includes without limitation any useful combination of hardware and software, and a "computer program" or "program" includes without limitation any software operable to cause computer hardware to accept, perform logic operations on, store, or display data. A computer program may, and often is, comprised of a plurality of smaller programming units, including without limitation subroutines, modules, functions, methods, and procedures. Thus, the functions of the present invention may be distributed among a plurality of computers and computer programs. The invention is described best, though, as a single computer program that configures and enables one or more general-purpose computers to implement the novel aspects of the invention.
CISS 104 has telephone interface 110 and Internet interface 112 so that it can contact telephonic and text-based devices 620. For contacting devices 620 contained within enterprise 102, telephone interface 110 is connected to telephony switch 114, such as a Private Branch Exchange, and Internet interface 112 is connected to corporate intranet 116. Telephony switch 114 provides first system 100 with access to devices 620 such as office phones 118, facsimile machines 122, and voicemail system 124 within enterprise 102. Corporate intranet 116 provides access to personal computers 120, e-mail server 126 and Instant Messaging (IM) server 127 located within enterprise 102. From telephony switch 114 and corporate intranet 116, system 100 can also access devices 620 outside of enterprise 102. Telephony switch 114 is connected to telephone central office 128. Telephone central office 128 enables first system 100 to contact cellular phones 140 through cellular phone service providers 134, wireless Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) 146 through wireless PDA service providers 144, pagers 150 through paging service providers 148, facsimile machines 142, telephones 138, and other telephone-based services 132.
Corporate intranet 116 is connected to Internet 130. Internet 130 provides first system 100 with access to cellular phones 140 through cellular phone service providers 134, wireless PDAs 146 through wireless PDA service providers 144, pagers 150 through paging service providers 148, personal computers 120, and other computer-based services 136. Through these connections, first system 100 can contact devices 620 with voice messages, text messages, or both depending upon the capabilities of devices 620 and how the subscriber has configured device attributes database 700. The subscriber does not have to reveal any information to the requester about the nature of their devices 620 other than how to contact first system 100, and first system 100 can initiate a real-time connection between the requester and the subscriber at the subscriber's request if it is technically feasible.
If the situation is not an emergency, then second program 400 retrieves the active priority list (428) and attempts to contact the subscriber using the device at the top of the priority list (430). After waiting the amount of time specified in the device attributes database (432), second program 400 checks to see if contact was achieved (434). If contact was not achieved, second program 400 checks to see if all of the devices in the priority list have been tried (438). If they have not been tried, second program 400 again attempts contact using the next device in the priority list (436), and to repeat steps (432), (434), (438), and (436) until step (438) indicates that all devices in the priority list have been tried. Once all devices have been tried, second program 400 restarts at the top of the priority list (440) and resumes repeating steps (432), (434), (438), (436) and, when applicable, (440) until contact is achieved. Once contact is achieved, regardless of whether the situation is an emergency or not, second program 400 notifies the requester of message delivery (442) and gives the contacted subscriber the option of deleting previous contact attempts (444). If the subscriber answers affirmatively, second program 400 deletes previous un-received contact attempts from all devices (446).
Once the previous contact attempts have been deleted, or if the contacted subscriber did not want to delete the previous contact attempts, second program 400 determines if the requester is still holding (448). If the requester is not holding, then second program 400 terminates. If the requester is holding, second program 400 checks to see if the requester's device and the contacted subscriber's device are capable of real-time communication (450). If this is not the case, then second program 400 terminates. Otherwise, second program 400 asks the contacted subscriber if they wish to be connected to the requester (452). If the response is negative, second program 400 terminates. Otherwise, second program 400 connects the contacted subscriber to the requester (454), and then second program 400 terminates.
While a current embodiment of the single point of contact personal communication system has been described in detail, it should be apparent that modifications and variations thereto are possible, all of which fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.

If you are searching for Infolinks affiliate program, you've probably notice that they don't have usual page for affiliates anywhere on their website. However they do do have their partner program running.
In order to become an affiliate, you need to contact Infolinks via email and ask them to participate. I basically wrote "Dear Sirs, my name is Galyna I wanted to ask whether you have an affiliate program and if so how I can appy for it ." Next day I've receved an answer with my personal affiliate link and the rules.
This is the rules:
For each publisher who joins the Infolinks network by clicking your personal referral link, you will be entitled to a one-time referral fee of up to $1,000 per new publisher, as follows*:
• Small Publisher – $25 (up to 10,000 average net Infolinks page impressions per day)
• Medium Publisher – $100 (up to 100,000 average net Infolinks page impressions per day)
• Large Publisher – $1,000 (over 100,000 average net Infolinks page impressions per day)
* Publisher's traffic must have at least 30% of traffic from the US. If less than 30% of the publisher's traffic comes from the US then the referral fee will be 30% of the fees listed above.
Please notice that in order for you to be entitled to the referral fees, the new publisher must be actually new (and not in previous contact with Infolinks or related to any of the Infolinks publishers), must enter the Infolinks website through your referral link, be accepted to become a qualified Infolinks publisher, and remain a fully active Infolinks publisher with an average of at least 300 daily net impressions for a minimal consecutive period of three months. Only after this period, and subject to you still being a fully active Infolinks publisher as well through that period, you will be paid (together with your regular earnings), all subject to your agreement with Infolinks and in accordance with the results accumulated and recorded in the Infolinks system.
So if you like you can join Infolinks (affiliate link) and then apply to become part of their affiliate program for publishers.

This exceptionally crafted black satin bow tie is made by Carrot & Gibbs, purveyors of the highest quality bow ties and cummerbunds. In black satin and measuring 2 3/4" in width, this standard butterfly style bow tie is the finishing touch to your formal look.
Carrot and Gibbs Silk Tie Yourself Bow
You will never see a Carrot & Gibbs tie that has been fashioned out of stacked fabric and cut en masse. Carrot & Gibbs bow ties are created from specially selected imported 100% silk fabrics, predominately woven and printed. Each tie is individually cut, sewn and pressed by hand here in the United States. And rather than a metal clasp at the back, you will find mother-of-pearl buttons, which can be used for both adjustment and attachment if required.
