High-fiber diets may help prevent colon cancer, according to new results from the Polyp Prevention Trial. Earlier studies produced ambiguous results about whether fiber could reduce the recurrence of colon polyps, which are often a first indication of colon cancer. The new report found that participants most compliant with a high-fiber, high-fruit-and-vegetable diet had a 35 % lower risk of precancerous polyp recurrence, compared with people who did not change their diets. The high-fiber diet reduced odds of advanced polyp recurrence almost 50 %. The 1,905 participants were at least 35 years old and had at least one confirmed colorectal polyp. The test diet limited fat to 20% of calories, with 18 grams of fiber and 3.5. servings of fruits and vegetables per 1,000 calories.
In previous studies, vegan and vegetarian diets have been associated with a much lower incidence of colon cancer.

Home / Lynn Cooper, Catholic Chaplain
M.Div. Harvard University
B.A. Tufts University
Lynn Cooper A02, was appointed Catholic Chaplain in 2008. Since then Lynn has served the spiritual and sacramental needs of our diverse campus community. Lynn seeks to serve those who are united in Catholic life and worship, those who are attracted to the Catholic faith, and the larger Tufts community. Pastoral counseling, spiritual direction, retreats, study groups, and prayer groups extend this ministry to the many dimensions of the lives of students and others in the university community. Availability and presence for students in times of crisis, personal loss, and other difficulties is a priority of this ministry. Lynn also welcomes the opportunities to participate in the academic study of religion and exploration of ethical issues on all Tufts campuses.
As an undergraduate, she lived as a devoted Jumbo with one foot in the world of the Department of Religion and the other in Athletics with the Women's Soccer Team. Her experience at Tufts changed her understanding of what it means to really be church.
Lynn holds a Masters of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School and is a candidate for the Doctor of Ministry at Boston University School of Theology.
At BU, Lynn is exploring how the Catholic religious imagination and sacramental living might help break open the demands of university life. She wonders how we might support a campus culture that encourages reverence for the body, attentiveness to the spirit and an orientation towards the holy in our midst. She's also passionate about technology use (techno-hygene) and how our devices may be better utilized as doorways to the sacred.
Her spouse, Andrew, is a Unitarian Universalist minister and chaplain. Together they delight in their little tyke, Rory. If becoming a mom has taught her anything it is that spirituality can thrive in the mucky, messy and mundane.

Reviews"'The Gathering'...is an affecting sermon. The issue is forgiveness, the lesson is that the endless harboring of anger and resentment -- even over the egregious cruelties of the Holocaust -- is a soul-warping endeavor, and the message is that, for their own good as well as the world's, it is time for Jewish survivors to let go of their vengefulness and allow the healing to begin...as a playwright, Mr. Shaw makes a pretty good rabbi." - New York Times
"Though many in the audience will see themselves and their family in this play, and there are a number of laughs showing how all families at times function in similar ways,...The Gathering can be a difficult and uncomfortable theatrical experience. But, it can also be a rewarding one." - Talkin' Broadway

The Social Touch team of Stade Rugby was taking part in a Touch-rugby Tournament! The event organized by Touch-Austria was including the best team around Vienna like:
- the Barbarians from Vienna
- Pragues
- Budapest
...those team being touch clubs & including international players!
Due to last summer break & a late confirmation, our players had only one training to integrate touch-rugby specific rules and to develop the proper strategy!
Through engagement and enthousiasme, we were defending proudly our line against multiple assaults limiting the score. We never gave up, also using the breaks to train harder and harder through exercices. It finally payed off by scoring a try during our last game against Barbarians, the winner of the competition!
If we ended up with three defeats, we learned a lot from this experience as a tight team.
A big thanks for the participation & the great spirit!
Thanks Isabel Antes, Touch-Austria Manager for the great organisation and for welcoming our team in this competition! Looking forward to participate in future common competition!
Esprit... Stade!

Office of Technology Transfer - Licensing Information - Overview
An Overview
TECHNOLOGY LICENSING At NIMH
For more license information at a glance.
Background and Policy Information
Each year, scientists at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH), generate new inventions based on rigorous basic scientific and biomedical research. The NIH Office of Technology Transfer (OTT), in turn, uses a variety of licensing mechanisms to transfer these inventions for development commercially that will benefit the public health. Where necessary, OTT seeks intellectual property protection (that is, "patents") on particular inventions to ensure their rapid and effective development.
What Technology Licensing Means
Where a company wishes to acquire rights to use or commercialize either an unpatented material, or a patented or patent-pending invention developed in NIMH laboratories, a license is required. Where appropriate, licenses to NIMH inventions, as with all inventions originating in Public Health Service (PHS) laboratories, are granted on a worldwide basis.
As a rule, most biomedical companies, whether large or small, desire worldwide patent protection to secure foreign markets or to use their assets in establishing strategic alliances which can add to the further development of an invention and the distribution of its benefits to the public.
Types Of Licenses Available
Where a company seeks to use an invention for commercial purposes that is claimed in a NIMH patent or patent application, the company must negotiate through the NIH Office of Technology Transfer for either a Commercial Evaluation License, an Internal Commercial Use License, a Nonexclusive Patent License, or an Exclusive Patent License.
How To Apply For And Obtain A License
A company that desires a license to develop a NIMH invention may contact the NIH Office of Technology Transfer (OTT). The primary basis for licensing decisions is made by the OTT upon submission of a completed Application For License To Public Health Service Inventions. This application provides the OTT with information about the potential licensee, the type of license sought, desired terms, and the party's plans for development and/or commercialization of the invention.
Applications seeking licensure with some form of exclusivity must include a justification. Upon review, OTT,in consultation with NIMH, will determines if the applicant's proposal is consistent with the licensing strategy developed for the invention, as well as its benefit, if granted, to the public. If the applicant has requested a nonexclusive license and OTT has rendered a favorable determination upon the application, then negotiations may begin. By contrast, where the applicant has requested an exclusive or partially exclusive license, OTT will place a notice in the Federal Register, as required by law, for a 60-day comment period.
Terms Included In The License
Several model license agreements are available through OTT that serve as the basis for license negotiations. In turn, the business development plan submitted as part of the license application process serves as the basis for establishing performance benchmarks that are included in the license agreement. In all cases, OTT works closely with licensees to monitor performance and to adjust benchmarks, when appropriate, to ensure the successful commercial development of NIMH and other PHS inventions.
When Licenses May Be Revoked
Lastly, licenses are revocable for specific reasons, such as:
- non-use of or failure to develop the invention;
- failure to comply with governing regulations;
- or failure to satisfy public health needs.
Reporting Requirements For Licensees
Accordingly, licensees are required to respond at least annually to OTT on their use of (or efforts to use) license patent rights. These responses are kept confidential and, to the extent permitted by law, are exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. Licensees also must normally agree that any products embodying the invention or made through its use, and which are sold in the United States, will be manufactured in the United States, unless a waiver is obtained.
Additional Information
Additional information regarding technology development and licensing opportunities in general at PHS agencies may be obtained by contacting the Office of Technology Transfer (OTT), National Institutes of Health (NIH), 6011 Executive Boulevard, Suite 325, Rockville, MD 20852-3804 (Fax: 301.402.0220; telephone: 301.496.7057).

Cummings and Kebe renew acquaintances
Shaun Cummings admitted that he had fulfilled a lifetime ambition with his first Premier League appearance, and is relishing renewing his partnership with Jimmy Kebe.
The full back was handed his first league start of the season for the 2-2 draw with Newcastle, and immediately rekindled his understanding with the Malian winger.
"I've played with Jimmy throughout most of last season, we know each other's strengths and that partnership is very good at the moment," said Shaun.
"Hopefully we can keep it going. The day was a good experience, I've been waiting patiently and finally got that opportunity on the main stage, where I always wanted to be as a kid. I've finally reached that."
The frustration of a controversial equaliser from Demba Ba clearly resonated throughout the squad, though Cummings refused to dwell on the controversial decision.
"It's another one where people might call for technology, but here's nothing we can do about it, we've just got to get on with it. It's about preparation now – we take the positives from this performance and the performance in midweek, and take that to Swansea."

Watch: Kobe Bryant plays keepie uppie with Neymar at Paris Saint-Germain training
The basketball superstar showed some skills at the Camp des Loges training centre.
Kobe Bryant joined PSG for a kickabout with some of the game's biggest stars.
The legendary retired basketball player was joined by stars including Neymar and Lucas Moura at the French club's Ooredoo Training Centre – and he showed some pretty decent skills.

Hands in his pockets, it's too easy for him.
French prodigy Kylian Mbappe, 18, was also in attendance at the centre, also known as the Camp des Loges.

During a 20-year playing career at the Los Angeles Lakers, Bryant won five NBA championships and was named in the league's All-Star team in 18 seasons – a tally second only to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
It's fair to say Bryant's legendary status was not lost on the PSG players – who later posted pictures of their time with the American.

When interpreters reflect on their own use of signs they require an appropriate technical language in which to pursue those reflections. For this they need signs that refer to sign relations, signs that refer to elements and components of sign relations, and signs that refer to properties and classes of sign relations. The orders of signs that develop as reflection evolves can be placed under the description of higher order signs and the extended sign relations that involve them can be referred to as higher order sign relations.

I've been working apace to format my old dissertation proposal on Inquiry Driven Systems for the web, but I was reminded of this part when the subject of "signs about signs" came up recently on the Peirce List.

The Unfolding Present Engagement with φιλια
We band together and they determine to become my new family. My full circle of restoration. Barely acquainted, yet I am surrounded by smiling arms. The wise Owl speaks over us, People are more important than stuff, dammit. Eyes kind, hands so strong. We take a night trip to the lake and bare our bodies to the element. The water stark as trust, but the view of stars matchless, aiming at the heart. He could have sent the blow, the fierce wind to beat against my ramparts; instead, gentle sunlight allowed, and so my tears are shed to the sky. Trust, tell me now that I have engaged your soul. We talk about God. Getting lost together never so reassuring. It seems I am remembered. It seems I am born. When we kayak out onto the lake, the water invites, we speak to one another, and we race back to shore, cabin lights like planets fixed in the trees. Our forest home, we share together, and so I fall asleep next to you, wake up next to you. Single beds, empty rooms a fading lonely memory. We take up learning, becoming holy together with dirt smeared on our faces. Engage συνηθως. We give each other seats at the table, intertwine our nerves, reuniting ourselves when the day is done. Family is not a biological term. We commune, we eat bread and slowly become unveiled. Trust, I tell you, I am scared, I tell you, but I want to be known. Share my gaze, share my aches, share my mirth uninhibited. Our holy hymn, massaging sore wings, breathing in our scents, as we step to each other's beats. Peace following me to sleep. And when I howl at the moon tonight, you all will join me, and the twilight world will ring with our dissonance and harmony complete.
συνηθως–A word to describe the bond of those who have walked trails together

Hi everyone!
Merry Christmas to you all! I hope you all had a wonderful day as I did spending it with my beautiful family!
Today I am sharing my design team layout for Hip Kit Club from earlier this week! My theme for this week was to be 'clever with punches' so I pulled out my border punches from the archives and away I went creating!
The products included in the November 2016 Main and Add-On kits plus the 2016 December Documented kit are just TO DIE FOR!! There is SO much gorgeous product to create any type of project you like!
I decided to create a tree shape using strips of paper punched with 2 different styles of border punch! I absolutely love how this turned out!
I added one of the large silver glitter stars to the top of my tree and used the silver glitter Thickers for my title at the bottom. This way the star and the title compliment each other at opposite ends of the layout.
There are loads of exclusives included in this month's kits too...I used some of the Hip Kit Club exclusive phrase stickers, ephemera and puffy stickers to embellish my layout.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope you found some inspiration for some of your recent Christmas photos I am sure you would have taken!
Check out the Hip Kit Club blog and the HKC Facebook page where myself and my fellow designers share all our ideas and inspiration!
Happy creating!
Tarrah x

Giggles and squeals bounce off the Recreation Center walls as swimmers, families, and grandparents enjoy the waters during the holidays.
Lighting the christmas tree at Buckley Park and singing with Santa are sweet traditions in the Durango community. Noel Night, Dec. 7, is a time to shop locally, to see old friends downtown, and to have our packages wrapped for free by the Mayor's Youth Advisory Commission at the Jolly Trolley by the Welcome Center on Main Avenue. Purgatory is open for business, and the recent winter storms promise a white Christmas for our community.
Shopping locally at the numerous small businesses in Durango helps employees pay their bills and owners make a living, and keeps the wheels of the sales tax in the General Revenue Fund going for the city.
The General Revenue Fund supports the police department, the street department, and the administration employees who take care of the daily business for the city.
As the mayor, I appreciate the street department workers who clean and mend the streets on icy days. I appreciate the water and the sewer workers who are called out on subzero nights to fix the broken lines. I appreciate the library workers who take extra time to help us find the special books we want. I appreciate the airport crews who keep the airport open and handle thousands of travelers' daily comings and goings in Durango. I appreciate the recycle and trash workers who make a difference each day in our lives.
I salute the Parks and Recreation workers who serve the public in thousands of ways from the cemetery to special events, to youth and adult programs, to managing 3,026 miles of open space, 15.5 miles of hard surface trails, and 10,174 street trees, 8.4 miles of the Animas River, the management of facilities at Chapman Hill, the Recreation Center, Durango Gymnastics, and Lake Nighthorse.
I salute the transit drivers who carry us safely to our next destination. I salute the city administration team, Code Enforcement officers, municipal courts, accounting, Community Development, technology, the Public Information Office, 911 Communication, engineering, and the men and women in the police department who put their lives on the line each day for us.
The city has a core of dedicated employees who are valued members of our community. Many are behind the scenes who carry out their responsibilities without great fanfare. They are the mechanics who keep the trucks running. They are the IT department who manages the software for the business of the city. They are snowplow drivers who work difficult and long hours.
As the Mayor, I give thanks to each of the city employees. I respect your work and your dedication to excellence. By shopping locally we support many of the workers in the city who make our life easier. Durango is a unique destination that travelers speak of with friends and that residents cherish because of their quality of life.
Sweetie Marbury is mayor of Durango, a position rotating among members of City Council. Reach her at email@example.com.

Naked man 'smashes truck through Texas mall before breaking into store and putting on clothes'
PUBLISHED: 16:04 EST, 14 July 2012 | UPDATED: 16:19 EST, 14 July 2012
A naked man ploughed his pickup truck into a closed shopping mall, mowing down kiosks before stopping and robbing a sport store, police said.
After smashing his truck through the mall's glass doors Arthur Walker allegedly drove through the gates of a Champs Sports store.
The 35-year-old then leapt out his red Dodge pickup truck and dressed himself in the store's clothing, including a pair of Nike Jordan sneakers.
Arrested: Arthur Walker, 35, was naked when he ploughed his pickup truck into a closed shopping mall on Friday morning, mowing down kiosks before stopping and robbing a sport store, police said
The bizarre rampage unfolded at 7.30am Friday at the Southwest Center Mall in Dallas.
Police arrived and arrested Walker inside the clothing store. Sgt. Elliott Forge removed the Nike sneakers to return to the store before Walker was taken to a hospital for evaluation.
'I only took off the sneakers, because nobody wants to see him nude. We can at least return the sneakers,' Forge told WFAA.
Smashed: Walker allegedly drove his red pick up through the glass doors of the Southwest Center Mall in Dallas; no one was injured in the incident which happened during closing hours
Loot: Walker allegedly smashed his car into this clothing store then leapt out the vehicle and dressed into their clothes; police arrested Walker in the store
Forge added that he believed the suspect was not in his 'right mind' and said that when they deal with people who are naked they are 'usually under the influence of some kind of narcotic.'
Before the mall occurrence, Walker was involved in a domestic disturbance and left the home naked, police said.
A woman called police shortly before 7.30am saying that a naked man had approached her car wrapped in only a blanket.
Taken off: Walker was taken to hospital for a medical evaluation. He is now in jail with no bond set
She told police he told her to get out the vehicle but she drove away.
Police have not released the results of Walker's medical evaluation.
No-one was injured in the mall crash, which happened before the arcade opened its doors to customers.
Walker was jailed without bond on a burglary charge. Dallas County Jail records list no attorney for him.

What is the Contaminated Blood Scandal?
The Factor 8 Scandal, or, Contaminated Blood Scandal is the event of 3,891 people in the UK (mostly Haemophiliacs) being infected with Hepatitis C or Hepatitis C & HIV (co-infected) by a commercial Medicine known as a Factor VIII, or, in some cases, Factor IX.
People using these products began to be infected with Hepatitis from 1973 when the products were first licensed for use in the UK.
Throughout the 1970's Factor concentrates began to be used more often and by the late 1970's they had become the most commonly prescribed treatment for Haemophilia. Before this time, the previously most prescribed treatment was Cryoprecipitate which was safer because each unit was derived from the blood-plasma of just 1 donor.
Factor products on the other hand were dangerous because they were created by mixing together the plasma donations of tens of thousands of people who, in the case of imported products, were often high risk, many Plasma donors in the United States and elsewhere were paid or fell into other high-risk groups for viral risk which included Prisoners, Prostitutes, IV Drug Users, Homosexuals and others.
During the 1980's most of England's Factor VIII supply was being imported from overseas because the country had not honoured a commitment made by David Owen in 1975 to become self-sufficient in Factor VIII and also because decision-makers had chosen not to act upon the many warnings about the use of these products.
Of the 3,891 people infected with Hepatitis C, 1,243 of them were additionally infected with HIV (the virus that leads to AIDS), "co-infected" by both viruses. It is generally thought that anybody who used Factor concentrate products before 1985 was exposed to Hepatitis C and most of those people were infected with the virus.
The Factor medicine that Haemophiliacs were given at this time was laced with lethal viruses due to a series of catastrophic errors, delays, failures, commercial influence and bad practice.
It was all avoidable.
Calls for a Public Inquiry to examine events were steadfastly refused for decades, Margaret Thatcher had denied an investigation and so had every subsequent Government. However, in 2017 Theresa May announced that an Inquiry would now be held.
By 1996, the majority of Haemophiliacs who had been infected with both HIV & Hep C were dead. Those infected with HIV had also endured the most brutal period of AIDS stigma.

As we near our 100th sale on Etsy, I can't help feeling excited. Like we're crossing a threshold of some sort. And I think about what it means for us, and for those people with whom we've interacted over the last five years.
From early childhood, I had an entrepreneurial spirit. From a full-time candy stand in our neighborhood, to selling my artwork in our high school student exhibit - I always knew that I wanted to have my own business. Thankfully, I married a like-minded man. So having our own business, building things that are beautiful to us - that we really enjoy - is such a pleasure. And a gift. Enabling us both to stay home with our son is the whipped cream on the pumpkin pie! I really can't imagine a better life, and for that I am thankful.
But added to that blessing, is the reality of what happens when we sell one of our lights, or an oyster knife, or any of our copper work. We meet a person, a couple, a family. They allow us into their lives in some small way. Like looking at their home and offering our ideas for designs - what would best suit their needs since they eat their family meals and the kids do craft projects all on the same table; their front porch is really shaded and dark at night and they need a porch light that is beautiful but also functional so they can see their keys. It is a challenge to try to meet peoples' needs in design, but in doing that, we come into relationships with our clients and build a broader sense of community. One that is spanning the whole country!
This year has been particularly wonderful in terms of the folks we have met. First, there was the sweet couple who are building a beautiful stone patio off of the back of their home. They were having trouble envisioning what kind of lanterns they needed at all, but they knew they needed them. They lived about three hours away from us, so we went to meet them with sketchbook and cardboard mock-ups in hand. By the time we left, they had a design they were excited about and we spent the last 30 minutes hanging out in their garage talking about how much an old vehicle can mean to your family as we admired their vintage motorcycle.
And the young girl from Brooklyn, who found us on Etsy, started planning a chandelier for her apartment, then made us a stopping point on her vacation to Charleston. She came out to our shop to visit and see our work first-hand. We got to show her and her friend she was visiting around, and offer them some espresso from our brand new machine. We were feeling rather fancy. It meant the world to us that someone from far away would want to come out and meet us. She received her chandelier this past July, and sent us pictures of it installed in her sweet little Brooklyn apartment.
Even just this week, a couple from New York ordered a Camellia chandelier, telling us that it is the very last thing they need to finish the restorations to their home that was badly damaged during hurricane Irene. A chapter in their lives that they are looking forward to closing. This on the wake of hurricane Sandy, made us feel the sense of urgency to make this chandelier and get it to them. And some long-time family friends - a retired couple who have lived in the home they build together for the last 40 years - are renovating their kitchen for the first time since the home was built. They asked me to come over with some samples and help them figure out what they needed. "We really like your lights better than anything else we've seen," the wife told me as we sat in her kitchen together. Now that's a compliment.
I could go on and on with the stories. Over 100 of them at this point! But what matters is this:
The fact that we remember almost all of our customers' first names, and what we built for them; and that we get to spend quality time with many of them - oyster roasts, their children's birthday parties, dinner together on a chilly evening - really speaks to us that this is the way business should be. You like this product, and you deal with us - the folks who make that product. We're happy to help, and want you to love what you buy. To feel like you have invested your hard-earned dollar well, and have something that you're not going to throw away when the trends and styles change, because heart and soul went into this product you just bought and helped design. Plus we care. We care about what we're making, and we care about you. Just having the opportunity to care - for that we are thankful.
I may not have the opportunity to write much more this month - we have lots of lights to build - so I want to wish each and every one of you who takes the time to read a very wonderful Thanksgiving. Grace, Hope, and Peace to you all.

introducing some of our partners...
Farmers, producers, local groups and organisations we're proud to work with
homewood farm cheeses
A popular Bath Farmers' Market pizza, our Homewood 3 Cheeses (pictured above) comes from local artisan cheese makers Tim & Angela.
The Ubley based couple supply us with fantastic seasonal cheeses (currently old demdike, halloumi & ricotta) throughout the year. Homewood Farm cheeses are packed with flavour and incredible aromas when served up from our oven.
cranborne chase venison
Featured seasonally on our Farmers' Market specials board, Ted's wild game comes to us fresh from the Bath Farmers' Market, some 11 feet from our oven... yes, we've measured it. Ted is here every Saturday morning, be sure to say hello!
Cranborne chase's wild venison (Ted's Wild Game) is possibly the best pizza in Bath.
bristol beer factory
We've been fans of BBF's Independence Pale Ale since it first launched. Made a few miles away from our friends down the road at The Old Brewery in Bris, Independence is distinctive in flavour and full of big hop character but without the strong bitterness.
Carefully selected American hops are added continuously during the boil and also during conditioning (dry hopping) to give a really fresh aromatic boost. It is mainly about hops but also has a malt backbone to balance the beautiful tropical fruit aromas.
tunley farm
We've worked with Mark and his team for a number of years. Headlining on our Chicken & Pesto Farmers' Market Special - one of our most popular pizzas, Tunley Farm's produce can be found across our menu where we use bacon and sausage.
A resident of the popular Green Park Station market, Tunley Farm can be found on market days offering samples of the range of produce.
chris rich, northend farm
We started buying Christmas trees, fruit & veg from Chris back in 1992.
Supplying much of the produce at our sister biz (the Braz) for many years we're chuffed to have a incredible vegetables on our doorstep every Saturday during the Bath Farmers' Market.
Chris' produce can be found across a range of our pizzas and has a special seasonal summer veg pizza named after him!

Sleep Support
The Millette Method
I am lucky to be one of a select hand full of sleep consultants trained in The Millette Method™.
The Millette Method™ is a multi-disciplinary evidence-based approach to family sleep developed out of Dr. Angelique Millette's twenty years of researching family sleep and assisting families with sleep challenges. The Millette Method™ does not follow one specific sleep method, but rather uses a tool box of many different methods which can be modified to suit the child's history and sleep issue. The Millette Method™ takes into account family schedule, infant/toddler/child development, temperament, feeding method, and parenting philosophy, all while keeping an eye on sleep deprivation, parental overwhelm, and attachment.
Hand in Hand Parenting
Neuroscience & the Power of Listening
Hand in Hand Parenting's mission is to support parents and provide them the insights and skills they need to listen to and connect with their children in a way that allows each child to thrive.
The Hand in Hand (HIH) philosophy and Parenting By Connection approach are rooted in evidence-based research and neuroscience.
HIH arms parents with the tools to effectively connect with their children through listening, play, and self-care and recognizes that in order for parents to handle the really tough moments of parenting, they need strong internal resources.
HIH teaches parents a basic understanding of how children's emotions work, as well as practical tools to help parents work together with children through tough times. In addition, HIH offers tools and resources for parents to find the connections that they need to support themselves and bolster their own internal resources.
Lauren is a self-proclaimed neuroscience geek. She fell in love with Hand in Hand Parenting and their Parenting by Connection approach instantly. Before finding HIH, Lauren saw that within her practice, listening and connection were integral in every family's ability to thrive. HIH parenting not only provided the science to explain all that she had seen in her work, but also provided further practical tools to help parents work with their children's brain chemistry to foster real connection and learning, not just behavior modification. The results of this kind of conscious parenting last beyond helping a child to be quiet at dinnertime - they last a lifetime. Lauren became a Certified Hand in Hand Parenting Instructor in 2012. Hand in Hand Parenting is integrated into most aspects of her practice.
- Learn how Lauren helped her daughter through a significant trauma utilizing Hand in Hand Parenting methods, on HIH's blog.
- Visit Hand in Hand Parenting's website to learn more about the HIH approach, take advantage of their collection of community resources and free parenting articles.
Mindfulness for mamas
After developing a seizure disorder in college and being medicated for a few years, Lauren chose to use meditation ad mindfulness as her primary tool for battling seizures. Through this practice, she was able to retrain my brain to function in a more peaceful, healthful manner without medication.
With the amazing guidance of meditation and spiritual teacher Lori del Mar, Lauren has been living seizure free and without medication for nearly two decades. After many years of feeling the pulls of motherhood challenge her spiritual practice and health, she realized that parenthood, itself, is best approached as a spiritual practice in and of itself. The wisdom she learned through her clients experiences, particularly in her New Parent Support Groups, aided in her development of a whole new well of simple meditations, tools, approaches, exercises, and information that helps Lauren to embrace each parenting challenge as an opportunity for mindfulness, growth, and further happiness.
Mindfulness for Mamas sessions are hour-long phone sessions catered to the interests and needs of each client. Sessions include a combination of:
- Compassionate listening (Read: a moment for moms to vent and be heard!)
- Support in helping moms reconnect with themselves as individuals and as mothers
- Connecting to the kind of mother you want to be
- Facing fears and anxieties and finding the lessons within them
- Support in creating and maintaining self-care routines, learning to ask for help, and reconnecting to your creativity
- Practical tools that help you work more harmoniously with your partner through parenting choices
- Emotional and practical tools for going back to work gracefully
- Finding clarity in figuring out your next steps and long term goals
- Practical tools for working with children and babies
- Education about infant and child development, practical parenting tools, and every day help to help normalize your experience and solve basic problems
- Meditation to lift the weight of it all and increase your resilience, health, clarity, and joy in each moment and your life

Scottish crime novels cover a wide diversity of styles and themes. Ranging from gritty neo-realistic urban crime novels, exemplified by writers like Stuart McBride, to a much more genteel pastoral style from M. C. Beaton and Joyce Holm. There are also mavericks in the genre, people like Christopher Brookmyre, who taps into a rich and deep vein of black Scottish satirical humour in his thrilling works. Another person who explores different aspects of the genre is Paul Johnson, whose body politic merges the genres of crime and science fiction in a peculiarly Scottish fashion. Perhaps one of the best indicators for the popularity is the large variety of works translated into film and television series, such as M. C. Beaton's Hamish Macbeth.
If you'd like to give these authors a try, check out our Tartan Noir display in the Fiction area at Central Library on the ground floor. Our displays change around frequently, so now is the perfect time to come and browse these Scottish crime authors all in one place.
Keen to try some of these authors online? Wellington City Libraries' collection on Overdrive has a Tartan Noir list with audiobooks and eBooks free to download or listen to online.
Wellington is welcoming Scottish crime author Denise Minain a LitCrawl event in early September. This will be a chance to hear one of Scotland's great contemporary writers, don't miss out!

Death of a nurse / Beaton, M. C
"James Harrison has recently moved to a restored hunting lodge in Sutherland with his gorgeous private nurse Gloria Dainty. When Hamish visits Mr Harrison to welcome him to the neighbourhood, the old man treats him very rudely. Gloria apologises for her employer's behaviour, and Hamish invites her out for dinner. Hamish waits for Gloria at the appointed restaurant. And waits. But Gloria never shows up. Four days later, her body washes up on the beach near Braikie. Hamish must find out who killed the beautiful new resident of Sutherland, and why, before the murderer strikes again." (Catalogue)
Want you gone / Brookmyre, Christopher
"What if all your secrets were put online? Sam Morpeth is growing up way too fast, left to fend for a younger sister with learning difficulties when their mother goes to prison. But Sam learns what it is to be truly powerless when a stranger begins to blackmail her online. Meanwhile, reporter Jack Parlabane has finally got his career back on track, but his success has left him indebted to a volatile source on the wrong side of the law. Thrown together by a mutual enemy, Sam and Jack are about to discover they have more in common than they realise – and might be each other's only hope." (Catalogue)
Missing link / Holms, Joyce
"A puzzling new case for sparkling detective duo Fizz and Buchanan. Always in search of a good story, Fizz Fitzgerald finds it hard to hide her impatience when elderly Mrs. Sullivan is shown into her office. Genteel and motherly, Mrs. Sullivan can only spell one thing: boredom. Fizz is more than shocked, therefore, when Mrs. Sullivan asks Fizz to help prove her guilty of murder. Could this story be too good to be true? Fizz is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery and ropes in long-suffering partner-in-crime, Tam Buchanan." (Catalogue)
Skeleton blues : a Quint Dalrymple mystery / Johnston, Paul
"Independent Edinburgh, spring 2034. The weather's balmy, there's a referendum on whether to join a reconstituted Scotland coming up — and a tourist is found garotted. As usual, maverick detective Quint Dalrymple is called in to do the Council of City Guardians' dirty work. For the first time in his career, Quint is stumped by the complexity of the case. An explosion at the City Zoo is followed by the discovery of another body, and the prime suspect is nowhere to be found." (Catalogue)
The long drop : a novel / Mina, Denise
"William Watt's wife, daughter, and sister-in-law are dead, slaughtered in their own home in a brutal crime that scandalized Glasgow. Despite an ironclad alibi, police zero in on Watt as the primary suspect, but he maintains his innocence. Distraught and desperate to clear his name, Watt puts out a bounty for information that will lead him to the real killer. Based on true events, The long drop is an explosive, unsettling novel about guilt, innocence and the power of a good story to hide the difference." (Catalogue)

Let your radiance shine
Good morning Beautiful! Walk fully in your light today, and let your radiance shine. If you know you are a child of God, walk boldly and courageously, expecting the best today…and every day! You are more than a conqueror in Jesus Christ. Let's discuss what that really means for a moment. It means that when you allow your light to fully shine with God supporting you, there is absolutely nothing that can cancel out your purpose and destiny in Christ!
The Bible says that God has placed the treasure of His kingdom inside of you and me. So you have the kingdom of God within you, and everything you need lies in the kingdom. Then, that light that you're shining holds everything you need for success.
Remember that every problem that presents itself is an opportunity for God to show you how faithful He is. He loves you and wants to come to your rescue – God wants to be your hero. Therefore, all you have to do in every situation, according to the Word of God is "submit to God". "Resist the devil, and he will flee," (James 4:7). Stand, stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and walking in truth.
The best thing about walking through life shining your light is that you never know who it will touch. You never know who is watching you, looking for cues about what a life with God is really all about. You carry God's kingdom around with you daily, and you ARE an ambassador for Christ. Let your light shine and watch God use your light to bless others, and God will supply your every need according to the richness of His abundant Kingdom.
Foundational Scripture for Today: "You are the light of the world–like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden." Matthew 5:14

We came to TCW after being at bright horizons. Bright horizons is great for some, but it was too 'sterile' and 'institutionalized' for us. The experience at TCW is personalized, warm, and caring. TCW is unique in that the teachers/administrators really try to understand where families are coming from and meet them halfway. My older son recently had a difficult behavioral stage where for a month or so he had some random but intense separation anxiety and the teachers could not have been more helpful. We had some special schedule issues with my work schedule and they worked with us to tailor our experience, which NO other daycare would have done. The kids love their teachers dearly and though there is always high turnover as there is in this field, I feel like TCW tries really hard to keep their staff on board and around. They have social events for parents outside of school. This is a work daycare so they will not close randomly or for school vacations/summer!! We were/are at TCW for 3 years and absolutely love them. Could not recommend more highly.

Harry K Local pharmacist named recipient of state's highest honor
Wed, 10/12/2016 - 5:31pm
When it rains, it pours. But sometimes what's pouring are blessings for things you've worked diligently toward. Dr. Jim Bregel, head pharmacist at Lewis Drug in Chamberlain, has had quite the year. May 2015 he was ordained as a deacon, which was a journey several years in the making. Then, just over a year later in June 2016, he was told me was going to be awarded the South Dakota Hustead Award, the highest honor for any South Dakota pharmacist to earn and is more commonly referred to as South Dakota's Pharmacist of the Year. He was publicly recognized at a banquet at his alma mater, South Dakota State University, on September 17, 2016.

Investment in DNA production of GMP quality
Delphi Genetics SA announced today an important step in the implementation of its new strategic orientation, investing in new DNA GMP facilities in its recently built offices located at the BioPark of Charleroi (Gosselies).
Delphi Genetics has announced that it has recently secured financing totalling 3.4 Million EUR for its new developments. The financing consists in a bank investment credit in the amount of 2.5 Million EUR granted in order to finance its building and production facilities and a funding by the Walloon Region in the amount of 0.93 Million EUR, as recoverable loan ("Avance récupérable"), to support the development in the establishment of "Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)" facilities. The 2.5 Million EUR investment credit has been extended, pari passu, by three institutions: Sambrinvest and two major banks (BNP PARIBAS Fortis and Belfius).
"This investment represents an important milestone in the development of Delphi Genetics SA and the strategic orientation it has taken. It will allow us to accelerate the development of Delphi Genetics as a key actor in Europe for the bio-production of DNA for human use and will ideally profile the company as a credible partner for companies involved in the development of gene therapies and DNA vaccines. It is also a strong indication of the confidence in our patent protected Staby® technologies for DNA productions" commented François BLONDEL, Chairman of the Board and Managing director. "We expect the GMP production line to be fully operational at the end of this year", he added.
In concreto, these investments will support the company development in GMP facilities for the production of naked DNA, plasmid DNA and, as a second step, recombinant proteins. These productions will be especially engineered for small/medium scale needs of Bio-Pharmaceutical companies and for phase 1 and 2 clinical trials.
According to industry experts, the global DNA market is growing very fast with a 40+% CAGR. The DNA vaccination market is expected to reach $2.7 Billion by 2019 and the Gene therapy market $3.4 Billion. There are 480+ compounds in pre-clinical and clinical development, with 20% in phase 2 & 3.

In Cold Blood (feat. Pusha T)—Alt J: Animated Visualizer
This animated visualizer was created to help promote Twin Shadow's remix of Alt J's hit single, In Cold Blood(feat. Pusha T), for Atlantic Records
A singular diamond spins in the darkness, rotating in time to the electronic beat. A white dove reflects on it's surface, appearing for but an instant and then is wiped clean by a flash of light. Inspired by visuals and iconography that have become widely recognized from both Alt-J's and Pusha T's universes. With very little time to execute this animation, I aimed to create a single animated piece of iconography which could be repeated in an endless combination of ways.

The Gender Dividend
Tonight I will go to sleep feeling a little more optimistic about the progress being made towards gender equality. Why? Well, it certainly doesn't have anything to do with the US presidential election (sweet mercy, what a nightmare) but, it did come from another unlikely source: the finance sector.
This morning I attended an event with the President and CEO of CIBC (one of the Big Five banks in Canada) and the Chairman of the Board at Bloomberg (in NYC). I have seen a great many well-meaning men (and women) get up in front of a crowd and embarrass themselves while actually damaging the cause by being either completely uneducated or inarticulate. But these guys. These guys were the real deal.
Not only did they profess these gems:
But they echoed the sentiment of many women over the years who stress that we are "in a race without a finish line." There may not be a finish line, but there must be targets and aspirations and possibly, yes, quotas. Victor Dodig got particularly animated when the moderator asked about quotas and he said, emphatically:
And a special shout out to an impressive turnout by my male colleagues this morning. I saw you and I thank you for being there - it's going to take men and women and persistence. But there has never been a better time to be born a woman and I am hopeful that this will be true for every new generation. Let's go.

On 25 May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is due to come into effect across European Union (EU) member states. The GDPR brings a significant extension of the territorial scope of the EU data protection regulations, catching a large number of overseas businesses.
Indeed, the GDPR considers not only the location of the processing but also the location of the individual whose data is being processed.
1. The GDPR will apply to all organisations that are established in the EU and are processing personal data in that context. Therefore, your organisation will fall within the territorial scope of the GDPR if it is processing personal data in the context of the activities of an establishment of a data controller or a data processor in the EU. GDPR will apply regardless of whether the processing actually takes place in the EU or not.
It is important to note that data processors will also be caught, provided they have an establishment in the EU. Organisations cannot escape the application of GDPR by processing data outside of the EU. Outsourced service providers could fall under the scope of the GDPR, for example, such as IT support, HR support, or data storage facilities.
2. The GDPR will also apply to organisations that are not established in the EU where:
– the organisation is offering goods or services to individuals in the EU; or
– the organisation is engaging in monitoring or profiling activities of individuals in the EU (for example, carrying out cookie profiling / behavioural advertising).
For example, a South African company without any EU subsidiaries which would offer free social media services via its website hosted outside of the EU to individuals in the EU, would fall under the scope of GDPR.
In the same way, a South African tourism accommodation booking business using cookies to track past EU-based customers browsing in order to target specific hotel adverts to them, would be subject to GDPR.
With the GDPR due to come into force in less than a year, it is now the right time for organisations outside of the EU to begin assessing their operations to determine whether or not the GDPR will apply.
If GDPR does indeed apply to your organisation, you will have to determine what changes or other steps may need to be taken to ensure compliance:
- have you appointed a data protection officer with sufficient means and powers, as well as a representative based in an EU member state who will act as a point of contact for the regulators ?
- are you compliant in the way you collect, store and process personal data?
- are personal data kept secure in accordance with the security principles of the GDPR ?
The deadline for enforcement of GDPR is fast approaching and you have to make it your top priority in the months to come!
PPM Attorneys can help you with your compliance project.

Behavioral Child Development and Why is it So Important?
The safe assembly between child and parents is essential for child development. The child is very sensitive, he memorizes and learns from all the experiences he encounters, and he faces it all while developing at a very alert pace.
The study of human development attempts to answer the question of why people change over time and why they remain the same. The study of human development, in general, and of child development, especially surpasses the peculiarities of age and individuality, the way in which the various psychic processes and features emerge and manifest. The development of the cognitive, effective, voluntary, personality traits is done within a specific relationship in which we can surprise on one side the particularities of the age and, on the other hand, the individual peculiarities.
Why is child development important?
Child development can be influenced in early childhood stages, through effective interventions that change the balance between risks and protective factors, leading to the prevention of problems or shortcomings.
Human development is determined by the dynamic and continuous interaction of biological factors and experience, children passing through processes of successive assimilation and accommodation.
Forming self-regulation skills is the cornerstone in the development of small children in all aspects. The development of children takes place in individual ways, their trajectory is characterized by continuity and discrepancies, as well as through significant cultural contexts.
Because growing up is hard, in the early period the adult must have as its main objective, the full development of the child, starting from its uniqueness. The principles underpinning the child's adult intervention are important milestones in his work, which guides decisions about interacting with children, their families, how they organize learning contexts and experiences, and tackles play and learning.
Behavioral learning takes place either by individual tasks or by tasks in pairs, or in small groups or with the whole group, but the learning efficiency is given by their use at the appropriate time depending on age and individual peculiarities, objectives, contents, time of day. This principle emphasizes the importance of providing the environment of contexts and learning situations as diverse as the motor, cognitive, emotional, social child.
Every moment of the day is a learning opportunity, and the more diverse the learning contexts, the lessons they experience and the acquisitions they have gained are more valuable.
Exploration involves the attempts and attempts of the child to know and discover new things. It is one of the fundamental actions of child development. It allows the conquering of the surrounding world and stimulates the motivation to know, providing the basis for developing the psycho-physical and aptitude potential of the child. The child needs time to play, space and objects (toys, materials, kits) that are absolutely necessary for starting and playing the game. The adult should watch: what is playing, what is played, who is playing. The child's interest in the game increases when he is stimulated by creating an educational space appropriate to materials that stimulate his curiosity, exploration, imagination, and develop his / her thinking. Children's play behaviors are the foundation of creativity in adulthood. The game builds on mental health and resilience, strengthens self-confidence and develops the ability to solve problem-solving situations.
The unique character of the child's personality is given by the specific needs of the individual's knowledge and training of the child, considered the starting point of the educational intervention. Free, complete and harmonious development of the personality of the child according to his or her own pace and needs, supporting its autonomous and creative training. Developing the ability to interact with other children, adults and the environment, to acquire new knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors. Encouraging explorations, exercises, trials and experiments, as autonomous learning experiences.

Google+ is off to a good start: A clean interface that works, interesting and useful features, a great Android app, and a curious community of early adopters. The screenshots at the bottom of this post will give you a taste of what Google+ is but they will also likely show you what it is not, at least not yet.
Google needs to go above and beyond itself to make this worth our time and theirs. Right now Google+ (or Google Plus) feels like Google Buzz +1 but also like Facebook -1. It's exciting, but not that exciting.
Below are 10 things that Google can do to change their reputation in the "social" space and become a dominant player instead of an awkward one.
1) Don't Focus on the Technology
Google Wave was the future... and then it died. Google Buzz might as well be. Google must truly learn from those mistakes and focus on use cases that make sense to people outside the Googleplex. Why do people go online (beyond search and YouTube) and why/how/when do people interact with each other?
2) Compete with Facebook
Google needs to stop saying that this is not about Facebook. It is. It's time to compete and compete well. Twitter might not be trying to create a Facebook but its definitely competing by enhancing its own network and doing things that are either very much in line with what Facebook is doing, or completely different. A competition is a competition regardless of whether you can coexist or not.
3) Google Ads
A Google social network without ads? Really? For how long? Google must be brave and put some ads up there. If it doesn't, I simply cannot take this seriously. It's not that I love ads, but without ads Google is pretending to be something it is not.
4) Make Changes and Soon
Google Buzz looks the same today as it did a year ago. That's embarrasing and quite useless in a web that evolves on an on-going basis. There must be a long-term strategy and that must involve changes, updates, and major enhancements and announcements. It also includes making mistakes and doing a thing or two that people don't like. Just do something beyond launching and don't wait too long to do it. If there are no changes in the next month or two, I'm not staying around.
5) Integrate ASAP
Google called it "Plus" because its supposed to "enhance Google," right? Well, then, I hope the name is not a letdown. I want to see the best analytics on a social network ever and this may already be happening. But I also want to see Google Docs and the best of Wave (RIP) and Buzz and Latitude/Places/Loopt integrated either physically or in spirit with Plus.
6) Show What Android Can Do
The Google+ Android app should make people want to buy an Android phone just to see what an Android app can really do. If Android is the future of how people will be able to interact, use that app to make it evident.
7) More Useful Applications: Threads, Curation, Live Streaming?
Circles, Hangouts, Sparks. We need more of that. Google can give us some of the things Facebook offers (Chat, Groups, Questions) as well as things that Facebook hasn't done (or hasn't done well yet). From threaded messages to collaboration, live streaming, and curation (ie. Storify, Curated.by), there are many ways to provide solutions to the many issues of today's social media sites.
8) Don't forget about Brands
Brands are now used to having a Facebook Page and a Twitter account. What is Google's alternative? There better be one and it better be worthwhile. People gather around the things they care about and brands/products/services are definitely part of that. There should be a special place for brands in Google+ and it should allow them to add value and engage in a way that makes Facebook and Twitter nervous.
9) Focus on the Masses, not the Early Adopters
The same people on Google+ today were on Google Buzz for 3 weeks. Influencers, bloggers, and reporters do not matter that much in this battle so be careful not to pay too much attention to them. Instead, focus on giving the mainstream audiences something they want to use. This will not be easy because the average Facebook user has little desire to try something like Google+ at this point. If Google can start to get the attention of my wife and my mom, it might just have a chance. Until then, it's only a niche product for early adopters to talk about nothing but Google+ itself.
10) Play Well With Others
While Google definitely does not want to become an aggregator (Google Buzz is now known as dead sea of tweets no one reads), it better be strategic about who it can partner and get creative with. From opening up to third party developers, to partnering with software, hardware, and content providers, Google might not be able to pull this off on its own.
I guess to sum it up: Google needs to discover itself, be itself, and leverage itself. People say "social" is not in their DNA so this might be the last opportunity for Google to find out whether that is true or not.
Differentiation won't be a way to position Google+, it will be the only way for it to survive and thrive. Google can't be Facebook and it can't be Twitter, but there's no need to say "oh, we're just here for a good time." People don't have time for a swell time. People have time for things that make their life better, not just their Google better.
There are many of us who want Google to succeed in this space (even if that's a bit scary in a way) because we know the kind of value that Google has provided with search, email, video, etc.
It's time to wow the average Facebook user while wowing the average Facebook engineer.
It's time for Google to wow itself.
Google+ is off to a good start: A clean interface that works, interesting and useful features, a great Android app, and a curious community of early adopters. The screenshots at the bottom of this post will give you a taste of what Google+ is but they will also likely show you what it is not, at least not yet.

Buenos dias, amigos
Welcome to Peru.
I will never understand why sitting on a plane for hours, waiting around for others and then riding in a van, can make you so tired and wiped out. Still, we arrived early this AM. No daylight savings here. It is 7:45AM. Happy St. Patty's Day, everyone. Whiskey, beer, chicha and Shamrock shakes for all!!
In the airport we finally met up with Andy Wakefield as well as the two nurses, Kate and Lena.
It was dark when we arrived so I could not easily see, but the hotel appears to be something designed by a Peruvian Dr. Suess. My room is on the 2nd floor, but to get to it I first needed to go down, around, across, up and over. In nearly every nook is either what appears to be a secret door or staircase that you didn't know about.
The rooms are small, simple, yet efficient. I haven't seen them yet but from the noise, "cooing", the doves or pigeons native to here are fairly boisterous.
I'll try to get some pics...later when I finally explore out of my nook.
Not much happens on Sundays, though I have heard that today is some sort of Election Day in Lima.
Dad.....they say that the beans you speak of do not actually come from here, but I will keep looking.
More later.

Since last weekend's accidental death of Star Trek star Anton Yelchin, Hollywood has mourned one of their own. Steven Spielberg is the latest to share memories of working with the young actor.
In an interview with Access Hollywood, which you can see above, at the premiere of his new film The BFG, the director spoke about Yelchin, who starred in the Spielberg-produced 2002 miniseries Taken. "He was a lovely young man," he said. "He was a complete gentleman."
Yelchin was 13 years old when he worked with the legendary filmmaker on the 2002 (then-titled) Sci-Fi Channel miniseries, but Spielberg said even then he was impressed by his work ethic. "He was a serious actor and he didn't have his sights set on anything specific — he just loved working, and good things happen to people who just want to work," he shared.
While Spielberg had no connection to Yelchin's biggest role as Pavel Chekov in the recent Star Trek films, he was a big fan of the performance. "I loved that beautiful, natural accent of his finally allowed to be released and not kept in."
Yelchin can be seen one last time in that role when Star Trek Beyond opens in theaters July 22.
