Paterson seeks budget help from GOP
Democrats in Senate appear to split over backing governor
ALBANY — A day after he reached out to Senate Republicans for help, Gov. David Paterson officially called a special session for next Tuesday. And the governor said Thursday that he wants lawmakers to not only cut the $3.2 billion state budget deficit, but tackle a host of issues ranging from same-sex marriage to a state spending cap.
"The time to act is now," Paterson said, repeating his warning that waiting to cut the budget gap would grow more difficult as time passes.
Senate Democrats who control the chamber with a narrow 32-to-30-seat margin appeared to be splitting into factions on the question of whether or not to oppose the governor.
Earlier in the week, Senate Democratic sources said they saw little point in attending a session unless there is an agreement on budget cuts. In addition, they were threatening to boycott a joint session on Monday in which the governor wants to make his case before both Assembly and Senate members. The state constitution gives the governor the power to force lawmakers into a special session, but not into a joint session.
Paterson and Senate Democratic Conference Leader John Sampson have been at odds over the cuts package, and one top Senate staffer derided the joint session as a "photo op" — a characterization that Paterson spokesman Morgan Hook called "appalling."
"A photo op is going to China for a trade mission while ignoring the widening state budget gap," Hook said in a statement, referencing a trip recently taken by Sampson and other legislators. " ... Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers who have lost their jobs or homes should be insulted by the insinuation."
Some so-called "marginal" Senate Democrats — who are in Republican-leaning districts, mostly upstate and in the suburbs — appeared to be breaking away from their leadership, saying they would attend the joint session.
Sen. Craig Johnson "looks forward to being there," said Rich Azzopardi, spokesman for the Long Island Democrat. Also planning to attend were Democrats Sen. David Valesky of the Syracuse area and North Country lawmaker Darrel Aubertine.
Other senators were on the fence, but the apparent fracture suggests that Paterson could cobble together enough votes from marginal Democrats and Republicans to pass a budget-cutting measure in the Senate.
A budget deal, though, might have to include some kind of state spending cap, which Republican Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos has described as a priority. Skelos and Paterson met to discuss the budget on Wednesday.
"We think the spending cap is extremely important," said Senate Republican spokesman Scott Reif.
It is unclear how a spending cap might fly in the Assembly, where Democrats dominate the voting.
Regardless of how much the budget is cut, there will be howls of protest from around the state. On Thursday, protesters representing the education and health care lobbies came to the Capitol to hold a vigil and talk about harmful cuts.
"We're down to the bare bones," said Barbara Crosier of the Cerebral Palsy Association of New York State.
Other items on the governor's agenda for Tuesday includes tougher drunk-driving laws; creation of a less-generous Tier V public pension system; the establishment of a loan program to let property owners make energy efficiency improvements; and reform of the state's public authorities.
Timing is an issue for all involved: Tuesday is the day before the Veterans Day holiday, and lawmakers doubtlessly want to be in their home districts for a day of parades and politicking.
Also, several lawmakers are attending the annual Somos El Futuro conference for Latino issues in San Juan, Puerto Rico. That conference started Thursday and runs through late Monday.
Additionally, there are indications the state budget picture is continuing to deteriorate. Assembly Republican Minority Leader Brian Kolb on Thursday issued an analysis suggesting the deficit is $3.7 billion, not $3.2 billion; the two-year gap, Kolb said, could grow to $7.3 billion rather than the $6.8 billion Paterson has predicted.

Korea's first Playboy model and actress Lee Sabi has gained a lively following in Japan. Her latest diet video, which follows the release of her yogha poses on her website, looks set to become a mega hit in the island country, with 40,000 advance orders already in.
A spokesman for the video production company said such huge advance orders are unusual. "I think Lee's perfect poses and the video's personalized exercise prescriptions appeal to the Japanese market." With the video, which consists of a section each focused on the upper body, the lower body and the whole body, people can intensively take care of the part where they especially want to reduce fat, the firm says.

doozy: If you've seen My Girl, Lee Sabi plays Gong Chan's loyal secretary. She can also be seen in the recent drama One Fine Day.
Playboy model?! Eh?! Does that mean the same thing in Korea as it does in America? Well, after searching further into this, I found out that it does mean the same thing. I am suprised. Click here if you'd like to read more about this topic.

Slowly emerging from the fog that is an overdue pregnancy and four months of baby love is now allowing me to reflect a little more clearly. Whilst I am yet to feel equilibrium (and may not touch on this for a LONG time) I believe I have been graced with an even greater capacity for love, bonding, empathy, humanity and connection. And whilst these are not finite concepts, I now have a felt sense of how there can be a mismatch translating this juiciness to your sexuality because sometimes, your physical energy or cognitive space just can't match these overwhelming feelings.
Looking around my new practice space, I know things are a little different than they used to be. For one, there is a baby monitor where a business phone used to be and the luxury of divulging my own sexosophy whenever I pleased takes a lot more careful planning. When I was practicing sex coaching before maternity leave, I felt I could still connect with the shared experience of mothers worldwide…that experience that starts with exhaustion and ends in disinterest. I guess looking back my understanding was very cerebral – I got it. But now, I really get it; throughout my body and being. This interestingly enough goes beyond all mothers to all women. The depth of my passion is carving new wisdom and an expansion of relatability.
Post-pregnancy, the changes within your body can be profound and are not often spoken about or depicted with much positivity. A sex therapist once told me it can take 12 to 18 months for a woman's hormones to re-calibrate to a normal level after birth, meaning that we need to be very kind to ourselves and to shift our expectations around our capabilities as we remember them. What I mean is that it is no longer about this is what I used to be able to do. It is now about asking yourself what is it that I am capable of now?
Personally, I am consistently reverting to a space without judgment. Note that the judgment still arises as it can be a default that changing and aging can bestow upon us. My body looks different and doesn't move with the same fluidity as it used to but how will being at odds with the naturalness of this process nourish my own sexosophy? In short, not a whole lot. When I feel the temptation to dive down a rabbit hole into being defeated, I know this is my cue to withdraw and come back to my values. See, sexuality isn't fostered by negativity and self-loathing. It responds best to tenderness, active attempts to move with it and a whole lot of fun. The correlation is clear – a closed mind and body will close down libido.
Life now has new challenges and I am attempting to put effort into being flexible and adaptable by learning what may work in real life, not what a program or textbook says. In essence, this chapter of life will only work to enrich my understanding of and focus on you and your sexual experiences as a client. I am looking forward to re-connecting with the beautiful women that are drawn to Sexosophy and sharing more insights in the very near future.

Methane Leaks Wipe Out Any Climate Benefit Of Fracking, Satellite Observations Confirm
Satellite observations of huge oil and gas basins in East Texas and
North Dakota confirm staggering 9 and 10 percent leakage rates of
heat-trapping methane. "In conclusion," researchers write,
"at the current methane loss rates, a net climate benefit on all time
frames owing to tapping unconventional resources in the analyzed tight
formations is unlikely."
In short, fracking speeds up human-caused climate change, thanks to methane leaks alone. Remember, natural gas is mostly methane, (CH4), a super-potent greenhouse gas, which traps 86 times
as much heat as CO2 over a 20-year period. So even small leaks in the
natural gas production and delivery system can have a large climate
impact — enough to gut the entire benefit of switching from coal-fired
power to gas.
Back in February, we reported
that the climate will likely be ruined already well past most of our
lifespans by the time natural gas has a net climate benefit. That was
based on a study
in Science called "Methane Leaks from North American Natural Gas
Systems" reviewing more than 200 earlier studies. It concluded that
natural gas leakage rates were about 5.4 percent....

By the late 1660s, Barbados – fueled by the production of sugar – had become the wealthiest English colony in Americas. The rather sudden boom of "sugar wealth" altered the society and economy of Barbados, and the island's new culture quickly became the standard for other English possessions in the West Indies.
This new wealth also brought a population boom as people flocked to Barbados, an island 1/5 the size of present-day Charleston, to make their fortune. By 1670, Barbados' population was estimated at 60,000 inhabitants, with approximately sixty percent being African slaves. As precious cultivatable land became increasingly scarce, plantation owners began to look to the North American mainland. As a result, Charles Towne was established in 1670 by the eight Lord Proprietors on what came to be called the Ashley River. Over the next three years, well over half of the white settlers and enslaved Africans who arrived in the Carolina colony came from Barbados, bringing with them the successful colonial model that would shape the social and economic future of South Carolina for centuries to come.
The political influence of the Barbadians is evidenced in the political structure as well as the leadership that emerged from the island – seven of the first 21 governors were either Barbadian or had close Barbadian ties. The Barbadians also had an enormous economic influence on the new colony. Their experience and capital, complemented by their entrepreneurial spirit, made the plantation system a reality, although cotton and rice, not sugar, ultimately surfaced as the major cash crops for South Carolina.
Over three centuries later, "The Connection" still exists. The threads of West African and Caribbean influences are woven into the tapestry of South Carolina's culture. These influences are present in sometimes faint ways, such as in our wonderfully rich culinary, art, and music traditions; and, sometimes in very prominent ways, such as the inspiring Gullah culture and tradition of the Carolina Lowcountry.
The South Carolina National Heritage Corridor and the Barbados and Carolinas Legacy Foundation invite you to experience "The Connection" between the Palmetto State and Barbados. Follow the links below to learn more about the shared history between two of the earliest English settlements in this part of the world.

Grand Canyon Skywalk: Eyesore Or Marvel?
Perched over the Grand Canyon close to a mile above the Colorado River, a massive, multimillion-dollar glass walkway will soon open for business as the centerpiece of a struggling Indian tribe's plan to lure tourists to its remote reservation."
"If the tribe's plans come to fruition, the Skywalk will be the catalyst for a 9,000-acre development, known as Grand Canyon West...Tribal officials say the development, which may eventually include hotels, restaurants and a golf course, is the best way to address the social ills of a small reservation, where the 2,000 residents struggle with a 50% unemployment rate and widespread alcoholism and poverty.
But off the reservation, many people regard the development and especially the Skywalk as tantamount to defacing a national treasure."

You'd probably want to be alerted if you were standing on a ticking time bomb, correct? And while (to my knowledge) no actual explosives exist beneath our feet, underground utilities do— gas pipelines, electric lines, sewer pipes, fiber optic phone lines, etc.
Beneath our feet is a maze of underground assets we rely on each day. Sewage pipes, gas pipes, water pipes, and electric cables that form the very infrastructure on which we stand.
Sometimes, the best inventions aren't really inventions at all, but instances where clever people discover a new, better use for a technology that's existed for some time.
In his annual State of the Union address last month, President Barack Obama emphasized the need for the U.S. government to update the country's infrastructure.
We hate to be blunt, but when it comes to underground utility location, organizations both private and public are stuck in the 20th century. But it's not really their fault. When trying to locate underground utilities...

I am sure you all know the three laws of robotics, invented by Isaac Asimov :
* A robot may not injure a human being, or through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
* A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
* A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Are these the only necessary laws ? Are these three (good) enough ? Are there alternatives ?
Recently David Woods and Robin Murphy made up three new laws (Want responsible robotics? Start with responsible humans and The 3 Laws of Robotics – Modified) :
* A human may not deploy a robot without the human-robot work system meeting the highest legal and professional standards of safety and ethics.
* A robot must respond to humans as appropriate for their roles.
* A robot must be endowed with sufficient situated autonomy to protect its own existence as long as such protection provides smooth transfer of control which does not conflict with the First and Second Laws.
Two differences with the "old" ones :
1) the first law is for humans
2) the other law are less specific and hence applicable in more situations.
But Woods and Murphy are not the only ones to rework or discuss or suggest alternatives for the three original laws. Some examples :
Asimov himself : The zeroth law : A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm
Asimov's Laws of Robotics
Implications for Information Technology
HOW will a robot identify a human being?
3 laws unsafe
Asimov's Laws of Robotics Are Total BS
open the future : five laws of roboticists
New Laws of Robotics proposed for US kill-bots
30 laws (not to taken seriously 🙂 ) :
And even a contest : Winner of the "Maker's – Three laws of robotics contest
Humans, robots or Cyborgs ?
The most interesting issue here is the clear distinction Asimov makes between humans and robots. In his books, humans were pure humans, robots were 100% robots.
But our future world is not the world of Asimov. Nowadays many people are not 100% human any more : artificial hips, knees, teeth, eyes, hearth valves, pacemakers and whatever are more and more part of our humanity.
On the other hand, experimental robotics does not limit itself to metals or plastic. A recent experiment involved a living rat brain steering a sort of simple robot.
If we continue that way the differences between humans and robots will dissapear. But not only between humans and robots, but also between humans and some animals with enhanced brains (= implants will make them as smart as most humans).
So what about the laws of robotics ?
IMHO lawmakers will have to make laws for everyone, not making any difference of species, technical specifications or whatever you can disciminate between living beings.

Oh that's a shame!
Emily Porta
Its a word that we FEEL all too often. The feeling that we ARE bad or we DID something bad. And in that thought we want to hide because we feel shame. Shame arises when we have not met an external expectation. Guilt is something felt when an internal expectation has not been met. Some of the most common areas I see shame pop up:
• Parenting - we believe we must do certain things in order to be a "good" parent. Quite honestly, we sometimes miss the mark. But instead of seeing it as learning and growth, we are embarrassed and feel shame. We watch what other parents are doing and worry what they think about how we handled a situation on the playground or what we fed our kid at the restaurant.
• Growing up - The hallmark of an adult is to form their own identity and values. They may choose to keep or let go of beliefs and ways of doing things from their childhood. This is a GOOD thing. But, we feel shame because it can feel like an complete rejection of our parents or whomever raised us. Just because something worked for them, doesn't mean it has to work for you. We hide our changes when we are around our families and fear judgment.
• Faith - Faith can be used to help you or to beat you up. You get to choose. When we feel shame we can often go to the idea that God is ashamed of us. We throw out our beliefs about grace, unconditional love, and forgiveness and wallow in the feelings of shame. Shame gets us stuck here. Never allowing us to move forward and or feel freedom.
Sure, there are a lot of areas that we feel shame. I wanted to touch on what I think is most common. I would love to hear what you think. Shame doesn't serve us normally. It is cue that we need more self compassion and understanding. It is an opportunity for being responsible for our lives. If you don't seize that opportunity our self esteem drops, we devalue ourselves and we feel trapped in a cycle of "never good enough."
Pick up your head and start putting one foot in front of the other. All is not lost. You can learn from mistakes. You can see the silver lining. There is hope. Love even the icky parts of yourself - it's like giving a wound time to breathe and heal.

Over a decade into the new millennium, Asian architects and educators are in a position to look back and reflect on their contributions to the architecture of the postcolonial era. In fact, we can identify three generations of local practitioners who have engaged with issues of modernity, identity and the environment in an effort to locate architecture within the physical and cultural geographies of particular nations.
This presentation includes an evaluation of the development of architecture during the late twentieth century, tracing similar aesthetic trends in India-Sri Lanka and Singapore-Malaysia. We will discuss how these developments have evolved into parallel but different approaches to architecture.

UK trade body discovers Appetite
Phase one of an identity created by Appetite for nascent trade body UK Trade and Investment will be approved next week, with the group shunning a Government trend for more 'lightweight' branding.
Appetite, which won the brief in a four-way pitch in May for an undisclosed sum, will apply branding to stationery, office signage, partnership material, marketing collateral, exhibition stands and websites. Work is scheduled for completion by the end of October.
The design brief centred on striking a balance between conveying the dynamism and business expertise of the group's employees along with its weightier Government credentials, says Appetite director Laura Haynes.
'What was interesting was that we took a more conservative approach. You find that a lot of Government departments are filled with very commercial and slightly flippant campaign-type identities. But all the research we did pointed to the fact that people wanted more gravitas, especially in the international market.'
The work represents the first step in a move to rationalise existing concerns: Trade Partners UK, Invest UK and umbrella body British Trade International. The aim is to bring the organisations, which specialise in helping British SMEs develop their export business as well as encouraging overseas investment, under one roof for greater efficiency.
'There was overlap between all the original bodies' activities,' explains Haynes. 'This had the potential to create confusion among the clients and overseas governments they work with.'

Citizens Bill Passes After All
Posted By Givens Givens Sparks || Apr 26, 2013
After blogging yesterday that Senate Bill 1770 had stalled, Senator David Simmons amended the bill enough to have the bill passed by the Senate yesterday. The amended bill keeps existing Citizens customers under the 10 percent cap on premium increases. Any new Citizens customer would have to have their rates in line with available private insurance rates. Additionally, property owners would have to go through a clearinghouse to get Citizens insurance. The accompanying House Bill does not match up exactly with the Senate bill, and may face a tougher road to passage than the Senate bill.

The Uzbek government on Monday suddenly unblocked several media and NGO websites, including Voice of America and Amnesty International, as well as the website for the opposition People's Movement of Uzbekistan. Many of these sites had been blocked in Uzbekstan for over 12 years. This happened so quickly that it's hard to know what to make of it, but for now anyway it seems like another step, small maybe, toward opening Uzbekistan up to the world.
A Taliban agent who had been fighting with a pro-government militia for months turned on his unit in Helmand province on Saturday night and killed 16 of them before escaping. It's not clear if this guy was always with the Taliban or if he turned at some point, or if he just snapped, did the deed, and then ran off to join the Talban on the spot.
The Pakistani Taliban acknowledged on Monday that their deputy commander, Khalid Mehsud or Sajna, was killed in a US drone strike late last week.
Rodrigo Duterte has an, um, interesting suggestion for his soldiers if they encounter any women fighting in the rebel New People's Army:
During his speech, he described an imaginary conversation between a general and a solider, "'Are there any women holding guns?' 'Sir, she's a fighter. An Amazon.' 'Shoot the [slang term for vagina].'"
The official transcript of Duterte's comments released by his office replaces the word "vagina" and the slang for it with a set of dashes. According to the transcript, the male audience laughed.
"Tell the soldiers. 'There's a new order coming from the mayor. We won't kill you. We will just shoot your vagina so that … If there are no vaginas it would be useless," he said, according to local media reports.
What a guy.
Meanwhile, the Philippine government has barred its citizens from going to Kuwait for work, after the body of a murdered Philippine domestic worker was recently found in a freezer in Kuwait, where it had been for about a year. There's been growing tension between the Gulf states and Manila over the mistreatment of Philippine workers in the Gulf, especially in Kuwait.
Though I'm not sure it deserved the level of hype it got, Kim Yo-jong's big visit to South Korea seems to have been successful. She was generally well-received and didn't botch the opportunity to display a little soft power finesse in contrast to whatever has been coming out of Washington lately. Does it matter? Probably not.
The Trump administration might be able to engage in some soft power diplomacy of its own if it would, you know, appoint a fucking ambassador to South Korea. I get that this president thinks diplomacy is for wimps, hence his plan to strip the State Department for spare parts, but some places actually do need ambassadors. South Korea is one of those places. But the administration is having trouble finding a diplomat who's OK killing potentially millions of South Koreans in a pre-emptive strike on North Korea's nuclear facilities. Which, yeah, I guess that would be a tough needle to thread.
DRC forces on Monday captured the largest Allied Democratic Forces base in northeastern DRC, in Mwalika. The loss should be a blow to the ADF, who have been on a reign of terror in the region.
Farmers in northern Mozambique are worried that they may lose their land under a government initiative called the Program of Triangular Cooperation for Agricultural Development of the Tropical Savannahs of Mozambique, or ProSavana:
The project aims to convert the whole area into commercial agriculture, increasing the productivity and producing cash crops such as soybean, cotton and maize for export.
The railway crossing the corridor and the Nacala port, on the Indian Ocean, seem perfectly suited to reach the global market, especially China, the world's largest importer of soybean.
Although the government says ProSavana will benefit smallholders, many farmers in the area fear they will lose their land to make way for foreign companies.
According to Mozambican law, the land is owned by the state. Farmers and communities can refer to customary occupancy and use it. But they would need a paper stating their "right of use and benefit of land", known as Duat (a Portoguese acronym for Direito do Uso e Aproveitamento da Terra). Not everyone has a Duat, nor is everyone in these rural areas fully aware of its actual value.
The African National Congress is reportedly about to formally request President Jacob Zuma's resignation, after talks between Zuma and party leaders failed to produce an agreement for him to step down voluntarily. The formal "recall" request is going to put Zuma on the spot, but if he still refuses to go then there will be a confidence vote in parliament (already scheduled for February 22) that, between dissenting ANC legislators and the opposition, Zuma should lose. Then he'll be forced from office.
It was a weird day for Mikheil Saakashvili. Ukrainian forces basically abducted him at gunpoint out of a restaurant in Kiev at lunchtime, and by the end of the day he'd been deported…to Poland. The Georgian government wants Saakashvili back to face punishment for abuse of power charges (on which he's been convicted in absentia) dating back to his 2008-2013 stint as Georgian president, but apparently the Ukrainians wanted Saakashvili out of the country but not necessarily in a Georgian prison. It's not clear how long Saakashvili will be welcomed in Poland or where he'll wind up next.
Even though Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán hates the European Union, he's apparently very happy to take EU money and distribute it to his friends and family:
Orbán has attacked the EU relentlessly since he took office in 2010, comparing it to the Soviet Union and launching a "Stop Brussels" campaign. At the same time, some of his family and supporters have become rich, partly due to winning EU-funded contracts to build Hungary's roads, railways, waterworks and other public infrastructure.
More than 80% of public investment in Hungary comes from the EU's cohesion funds, which are intended to help poorer regions and countries catch up.
"Mr Orbán has been bashing the EU for years; at the same time his inner circle is getting rich through EU funds," said András Pethő, a journalist who co-founded Direkt36, which investigates Hungary's new crony capitalism.
One lucky beneficiary of Orbán's largesse has been his son in-law, István Tiborcz. Orbán gave him an EU-funded contract to install street lamps in Hungary's cities, which Tiborcz did while charging a 56 percent markup. Nice work if you can get it.
The negotiations between Germany's conservatives and the Social Democratic Party over forming a new governing coalition, and the back-biting that the two parties have engaged in since the conclusion of those talks, haven't exactly helped either side's polling numbers:
As both the parties that have dominated post-war Germany descended into internal squabbling, a new INSA poll showed their popularity had slumped, their combined support at just 46 percent. The SPD was at a record low of 16.5 percent, barely ahead of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD).
The shitty poll numbers highlight the danger for both sides in doing another grand coalition but also make a pretty compelling case that it's too late for either side to back out now. A last-minute failure to form a governing coalition would likely lead to snap elections, and at this point it looks like both the SPD and the conservatives would be creamed if that happened. They really have no choice but to go through with it and hope to revive their popularity over the next couple of years.
A new study from the InSight Crime think tank finds that Donald Trump's obsession with MS-13 has boosted the Salvadoran gang's prestige in Central America and its status as "the most feared gang in the region." Frankly this is almost poetic, seeing as how it was the United States that created MS-13 in the first place:
AMY GOODMAN: And talk more about that, as you fully develop it in your piece, in your work, even why it's called MS-13, but to explain that history, Daniel.
DANIEL DENVIR: Yeah. So, Mara Salvatrucha was formed in L.A. in the 1980s. Older viewers are probably fully aware, and many younger ones, as well, that in the 1980s President Reagan was backing a right-wing government in El Salvador that was waging a brutal dirty war against leftist revolutionaries in that country, that sent huge numbers of refugees fleeing to the U.S. He also had similar dirty wars in Guatemala, as well as a Contra war against the Sandinista government in Nicaragua. But in the case of Salvadoran refugees fleeing to the U.S., Reagan made a point of denying that they were refugees, because how could his friendly government in El Salvador be sending refugees fleeing from their country if they weren't committing massive human rights abuses? Which they were. And so, coming into segregated neighborhoods in the U.S., where, like many poor people of color in this country, they were denied access to good jobs and good schools, people gravitated—young people gravitated towards gangs, gangs that were a thoroughly American phenomenon at the time, not one that they were bringing with them from El Salvador.
And then, in the 1990s, Bill Clinton's harsh anti-immigrant policy, which he was using as part of his general strategy of triangulation, attempting to placate rising right-wing, anti-immigrant sentiment, to ward off the right and consolidate white support in advance of—to advance his own political ambitions, launched a mass crackdown on so-called criminal aliens. And those same policies were followed by George W. Bush and also by Barack Obama. And the result was that enormous numbers of people have been deported to Central America, including El Salvador, some of them alleged gang members, many of them not. But those people being deported back into El Salvador brought Mara Salvatrucha and other gangs to that country and turned what was a homegrown L.A. phenomenon into a transnational criminal empire.
On occasion on this website–too infrequently, really–I post about issues around the world, natural disasters and wars and refugee crises, etc., where your charitable donations could really help people in desperate need. Frequently when I list charities to which you might want to consider donating, I include Oxfam. Well, I know it's too late now but I take it all back:
Oxfam could lose £29m in European funding because of its handling of sexual misconduct by senior staff in Haiti and Chad, officials in Brussels have said.
The warning on Monday evening came as the UK's Charity Commission launched a statutory inquiry into Oxfam amid concerns it might not have "fully and frankly disclosed" all details about the Haiti allegations. The charity's deputy chief executive, Penny Lawrence, has resigned, saying was "desperately sorry".
A former senior official at the charity also said she had repeatedly warned senior management of a culture of sexual abuse in some offices around the world, and asked for more resources to tackle the issue. Helen Evans, the head of global safeguarding at Oxfam from 2012 to 2015, told Channel 4 News that in a single day she received allegations about a woman being coerced to have sex in a humanitarian response by an aid worker, a woman being coerced in exchange for aid and another case where a staff member had been struck off for sexual abuse and hadn't disclosed that.
She also claimed that volunteers as young as 14 in Oxfam shops in the UK had alleged abuse. In at least one case an adult volunteer had allegedly assaulted a child volunteer. In 2012-14 there were 12 allegations, she said.
It's swell that the deputy director resigned and that Oxfam might lose some European money, but, uh, people are going to go to jail over this stuff, right?

basically if you keep finding the first, second third etc. differential of sinx or cosx they always continue in a cycle how do i formally prove ty
I recommend Induction. Check out the Wikipedia article on how to word a proof by induction:
$ \begin{align*}y&=\sin(x)\\y^{(1)}&=\cos(x)\\y^{(2) }&=-\sin(x)\\y^{(3)}&=-\cos(x)\\y^{(4)}&=\sin(x) \end{align*}$
We now have a complete cycle.
Suppose we want the $146^{th}$ derivative. Well $146=4(36)+2$ hence $y^{(146)}=-\sin(x)$

If you are a frequent traveler and animal owner, you are probably aware that
are pet-friendly motels that you can bring your dog or cat to while on
. If you hate to leave your pets on a boarding house while traveling,
will be wise to find pet hotels along your route so that your family members
can stay with you. Many dog friendly hotels allow canines up to a certain weight without extra deposit. Some pet-friendly motels require a deposit and
larger pets and reptiles are not allowed.
Before ordering your rooms, make sure your pet-friendly motels are acceptable
pets that match the weight of your animal. Some pet hotels will require you to keep
the animal in a cage in your room, and most dog friendly hotels ensure that your dog stays on line anytime outside your room. There are
Many websites that specialize in pet-friendly hotels or apartment rentals with easy to
use guides to help you find the best accommodation that is convenient for you and
that is comfortable for your animals .
If you plan to be away for long periods, you may want to reconsider bringing
along your pet to pet-friendly motels. Some animals are better off at a
sitting or in a boarding facility than traveling around to various animal hotels. When you
reserve a room at dog friendly hotels, you would like to ask what policies apply to
about animals and whether there is a deposit. Most accommodations
businesses will always allow sight-seeing or service dogs, whatever their pets
policies are. The more research you do on the lodging options for your vacation
or destination, the more comfortable your pet will be on the road. If you
travel by plane, you must also forget to check with the airlines about their pets
policies. Many airlines require larger dogs to be in a cage in the checked baggage section of the aircraft and must also see evidence of animal licenses, especially when
travel to a foreign country. Smaller dogs and cats can sometimes be transported
to the aircraft in a pet carrier if the carrier is small enough to fit under the aircraft's
As you prepare to leave your pet-friendly hotel, be sure to pack with
some portable pet bowls and adequate food and water supplies for your pet to last
during the journey. You might also want to have a small carpet or toy from
home to remind your pet of the scent of their home. If you drive to your destination
you may want to search for dog parks along your route or schedule
stops to walk your dog for at least 30 minutes to release their energy. If you travel with a cat, consider bringing a portable box that your cat can use on the road or in your hotel room. Most importantly, your pets are safe in
your vehicle and do not pose a hazard to the driver.

"Featured Bulb of the Week"
We are featuring "Eremurus Bulbs" this week for
20% OFF through 11/14/13 - 11/27/13.
Also known as "Desert Candles" or "Foxtail Lilies", these graceful spires of dense flowers are one of the most spectacular, early-summer flowering blooms. These tall willowy spires are comprised of densely-packed flowers that open progressively from the bottom of each spike up, with a sparse, ground-level rosette of long strappy leaves. They prefer rich, well-draining soil with bright sunlight and protection from wind.
"Featured Flower of the Week"
We are featuring pansies this week for
20% OFF through 11/14/13-11/27/13.
The names 'pansy' and 'viola' are often used interchangeable. There are many cultivars within the genus Viola and most of them are hybrids of the same handful of species, so there are a lot of similarities and probably only a botanist really cares which is which. The gardener knows pansies as cool weather flowers with almost heart-shaped, overlapping petals in bright colors or bi-colors and often with face-like center markings. Pansies are one of the most popular and recognizable cool weather annuals. Although delicate, they are surprisingly hardy. And like their cousins the violas and violets, the flowers are edible. We have a great selection available!
All bulbs are 20% OFF
We have tulips, crocus, narcissus, hyacinths, muscari and more. They are available in packages of single varieties, combinations and blends. We also have bulbs available in bulk. When you buy 10 you get one free!

Horror often gets its balls cut off. Many of the entries in the genre are just this side of comedy, relegated even to jokes like the Chuckie scene in Ready Player One. True horror, the existential dread of life, seems to have been pushed aside in favor of jump scares and cheering when teenagers get hacked apart. Few movies contemplate a horror like the Autopsy of Jane Doe.
This kid, maybe early twenties, has a date. He really wants to go, but his aging dad, Brian Cox, just got in a big job. Torn between a hot girl and taking over the family business, the kid helps out his dad. Oh, they're totally coroners and the big job is this girl who was found in a house of dead bodies. She was untouched, the cops don't know how she died, but everyone else showed horrible trauma and seemed to be trying to escape. As the start the autopsy, things begin to get creepy.
Yeah, this is just a well done fun horror movie in the old school way of "this monster doesn't care who it kills." Not a slasher, not a gross out, Autopsy of Jane Doe is a psychological horror bordering on the best Stephen King. As the father and son attempt to figure out what the hell is happening, they begin to trust themselves less and less. Doesn't help the old building they are in starts to malfunction. Or does it?
The acting is solid, the script is okay, and the effects are pretty good if you turn off the lights and gather yourself under a blanket. This is a fun horror movie that's better than the box.

School Sunflowers
Last month, Church Hill Big Local delivered a number of fledgeling sunflower plants to Abbeywood and Moon's Moat First Schools. We challenged them to see if they could look after the plants and to see how tall they could make them grow before we returned at the end of term to witness how they had got on.
We visited both schools last week and were very impressed with their efforts, particularly given the very hot weather we have had. The soaring temperatures have not helped with plant growth and led to lots of watering being carried out by the young budding gardeners.
For their efforts, each school was rewarded with £50 of gardening vouchers to help their respective gardening clubs with their future green fingered projects.

Delta State Police Command has arrested of a 42-year-old jealous housewife, Esther (surname withheld), for allegedly cutting off her husband's genitals.
DSP Celestina Kalu, the state's police public relations officer, who made this known to Leadership, said the incident happened in Ugbolu community close to Asaba, the state capital.
The force spokesperson said the suspect committed the act during a fight that accompanied her husband's alleged interest in other women.
She said the suspect, who is a mother of two, ambushed her husband close to an undisclosed hotel in a suburb area of the state, and patiently waited for him and his lover to come out of the hotel room before attacking him.
Kalu said the suspect appeared from the bush and engaged the man in a physical fight, during which she allegedly used razor to slash his 'male organ.'
It was gathered that the couple had always fought over the husband's lifestyle and infidelity, with the suspect threatening to spill his blood if he refuses to change.
The force spokesman, who revealed that the suspect had already confessed to the crime, said she would be charged to court upon conclusion of investigation.
It would be recalled that on May 9, 2014, a 35 year-old woman, Fausat Yakub, was remanded in prison custody by an Ilorin Magistrates' Court for allegedly pouring a dangerous liquid substance on her ex-husband's genitals.

Should it choose to adopt the Broadway business model for self-promoting souvenirs, the Bushwick Starr could surely do a brisk trade in "I Am Clare" buttons. These artifacts might be sold, along with the usual choices of bottled beer, from the bar in what passes for a lobby in this tiny walk-up theater in Brooklyn.
The exciting young playwright Clare Barron has come up with a new work — "a chamber piece," she calls it — with which anyone who struggled with the anguishing mysteries of sex and love during adolescence is guaranteed to identify. That's everyone, right?
This charming exercise in universal navel (and lower-aimed) gazing, which opened here this week, is called "I'll Never Love Again." Directed with a wit more likely to slide into darkness than preciousness by Michael Leibenluft, the production features a choir of many Clares — of assorted shapes, sizes, sexes and ethnicities — singing melodramatic declarations from the diary Ms. Barron kept as a miserable and ecstatic teenager.
Outfitted in churchly robes, which seems the right style choice for the contemplation of the sacred and profane, the ensemble hymns the magnetic and repellent attraction exerted by a boy named Joshua upon a younger high school student named Clare. Individuals break away from the throng to give voice to Clare's impressions as a novice in the game of all-consuming romance.
"I no longer think it's disgusting to think about kissing him." "Mr. Penis is not a pretty sight." "Romance is dead for me forever." Such sentences are spoken by both men and women with concentrated sincerity.
They bring the same furious passion to the group performance of glee-club standards like "The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond," accompanied by an upright piano. Sometimes they break into bluesy a cappella wails, intoning words of desolation. (Stephanie Johnstone is the show's composer and music director.)
Just because the pain being expressed here is in the past doesn't mean it isn't real — or even ever entirely in the past. And if the early choral numbers present teenage angst within a detached conceptual framework, subsequent moments allow no such distance.
A scene in which the young Clare (played by the grown-up Ms. Barron) nearly goes all the way for the first time is raw enough to make you squirm. But the discomfort of that scene pales next to the images used as a prologue for it, cast onto a suspended sheet by an overhead projector.
What we're looking at are smudged pencil drawings, from a notebook, portraying monstrous naked men and women and their genitalia. A couple of them are emblazoned with the words "sadness overwhelming." And we recall what one of the Clares had said earlier about thinking, for the first time, "My body is not good enough."
Cut to 2012, a time lapse achieved by the unfolding of Carolyn Mraz's set — which had previously suggested a schoolroom as seen through the collaged inner mind of a 15-year-old — into a naturalistic 21st-century office space. Here is an adult Clare (Nana Mensah), doing freelance redacting for a legal firm, sorting through the personal emails of a couple involved in what sounds like a very unpleasant divorce case.
Clare engages in cursory dialogue with employees who wander in and out of the room, and later with a teenage girl, Oona, who has come to meet her mom's partner for a concert. That event is to celebrate the Mayan Apocalypse, a phenomenon with which Clare's younger self had been obsessed. Clare offers some fumbling and encouraging advice to Oona (Oona Montandon), who is just about to enter high school. The words fall flat.
This scene is followed by an extraordinary monologue, delivered by the middle-aged actress Mia Katigbak as the 26-year-old Clare. She describes a time in which "things fell apart" in her life ("People left. People died.") and, it would seem, in the world at large. Clare found herself burrowing into her body like a feral creature. She stopped washing, had sex often and would sleep amid a nest of her cats.
Ms. Barron, whose early work includes the cult favorite "You Got Older," has the rare gift of being both oblique and perfectly clear — or as clear as one can be about the irresoluble conflicts of life. She trusts you to connect the dots from the disparate scenes and styles of "I'll Never Love Again." And if you go with your intuition instead of your intellect, you'll have no trouble doing so.
"It gets better" goes the popular contemporary watch phrase, a mantra for young people who suffer for their sexual identities. But as "I'll Never Love Again" suggests so compassionately, the enigmas of the hearts and loins persist throughout our lives. Still, something like wisdom comes to those who, like Ms. Barron, keep their eyes open to the patterns that emerge over the passing years.
The Ms. Katigbak version of Clare, in assessing the view from her mid-20s, says, "Each year I understood more songs." Suddenly, she continues, a song from long ago would materialize in her mind and she'd think, "Oh, that's what this song means."
You've surely experienced something similar, and you may even do so before this show is over. I, for one, have found new depths of sadness and eroticism within the words "the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond."

Sets transmog / reskin system in-game
Llama666 replied to Llama666's topic in Sacred 2 Community PatchThank you for the replies! Sacred was my ultimate experience besides of Diablo 2 in my adolescence. Played Sacred 1, then Underworld, then Sacred 2 Fallen Angel with friends in LAN. There were no other game which could top this experience for me. I made great friendships thanks to these "private parties" where there was a lot of alcohol, weed, good food and Sacred all the weekend during the year. Right now, I'm tasting this CM Patch. I think it's far beyond great. Just I wanted to know if there were a posibility of transmog my set. Whatever... My friends will be happy when I tell them the news.
Llama666 started following Sets transmog / reskin system in-game
Sets transmog / reskin system in-game
Llama666 posted a topic in Sacred 2 Community PatchHi! Is there any intention in the future to implement some kind of transmog / reskin / aspect alteration system in Sacred 2, as they are in Diablo 3, World of Warcraft or Guild Wars 2? I find really pathetic wear a nonsense rainbow of colours and isolated parts of sets just for the love of better statistics for my character. My character has no identity this way. Dryad is just horrible character looking like this. She can kick asses, but definitely is not looking sexy or... well... like a Dryad? There is an alternative to do that? At least? Greetings.

Get New Clients By Sharing Inspirational Hypnosis Wins
Yesterday I created a video highlighting all of the client "wins" in 2015. The purpose of the video is to help people understand How Hypnosis Can Help Them, and the inspirational message Gives Them Hope.
Here's the video and you'll notice that it's only 3 minutes long :
Sharing Your Message Brings in New Clients
Part of our job as hypnotists is to share our message. And this video is in part sharing the message, but the small messages that make up the video - the inspirational hypnosis "successes" are captured each and every day in the hypnosis office on The Hypnosis Success Board.
The Hypnosis Success Board
The Hypnosis Board is in my office and clients add small and big "wins" to celebrate their success.
It works in 3 ways :
- Brings hope to clients who have tried everything else because they clearly see the success of others on the board. Small, and anonymous postings such as : "I didn't eat the desert""I quit smoking cold-turkey""No more panic attacks" "I can wear jeans for the first time in 5 years!!!"
- Teaches clients the importance of Incremental Success
- Helps YOU tell Your Story
Read more about The Hypnosis Success Board.

I want to hear about your creative ways of telling your story! Share with me by leaving a comment below.

To find the answer to this question one must first know what compromise is. There are two different ways that compromise is defined in the dictionary. The noun is, "an agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions." That doesn't sound too bad. And this is what we think of many times when we think about compromising. There are many times in history and in our everyday lives where we see that compromise can be helpful. For example, if my parents were to give my siblings and i some chores to do and I don't want to do them all, then I will probably negotiate with my siblings and find a compromise where I do some of it and they do some of it. Now I didn't get out of doing the chores like I would have liked, but neither did my siblings. But neither of us are having to do all of the work alone either. That's compromise, which I believe will generally be good.
But it was the other definition that caught my eye. In the dictionary compromise as a verb says, "accept standards that are lower than is desirable." Wait, so compromise is also lowering your standards? That's not good! I found a quote that I really like that describes this kind of compromise. "Compromise means to go just a little bit below what you know is right. It's just a little bit, but it's the little foxes that spoil the vine."--Joyce Meyer. There is also the saying if you have a choice between drinking a full bottle of poison or half a bottle. Either way you're still drinking poison. Just like the poison, many times compromise is harmful.
So now we've seen two different ways that we can have compromise. One good and one bad. So which is it? I believe that it is both. I believe that there are situations where compromise could be helpful or harmful, but it really does depend on who and what you are dealing with. Unfortunately, it is again one of those things where you personally have to judge whether it is going to be more harmful or helpful. There are many times when it will be obvious which it is, but I think that many times it will not be as clear. There will also be times where it may be very clear that it is harmful, yet you may still have to compromise despite how harmful it could be to you.
I like to think of compromise like a tool like a hammer or saw. A hammer is not evil, but it isn't good either. Someone can go help build a house with a hammer and then someone else can go and kill someone with that same hammer. Neither of those actions define whether the hammer was good or evil, instead they helped define the people who used the hammer. Compromise is the same. You as a person can choose to use it as the first definition states and try to just settle disagreements with it in a way that can better both parties. Or you can go by the second definition and compromise in a way that forces you and others to lower their own standards. But either way that you choose, it does not make compromise itself good or evil, just you. It's our job to make sure that we aren't using compromise to harm others, but instead that we use it in our lives in such a way that it is fair.

Soft Romance
August 2015 • Brookyln New York •
For this look, I was inspired by one of my all time favorite blouses from Lush Clothing. I love the toupe color, mixed with the block of black lace, baby doll bottom, and open tie back. It feels almost like a halter top when worn - and with the sheerness of the fabric its as if you are not wearing anything at all, which is really freeing. Its a perfect mix of all of my favorite tones, and textures - in one top! I decided to base my look on how this top makes me feel - soft, and romantic. Hence, Soft Romance.
TOP Lush Clothing from Nordstrom
BOTTOM Skinny High Jeans from H&M
BOOTS G by Guess from TJ MAXX
EARRINGS Thrifted
I wanted to pair my outfit with romantic curls, and a toupe eye and soft lip color.
Since I am working on grown my hair, I used a heatless styling method by using magazine paper, and bobby pins on my damp hair and sleeping with them in. I sprayed my hair the next morning and didn't have to do any additional styling.
For my eye makeup, I did a subtle smoky eye, with stacked lashes, and a sharp brow. I hi lighted and contoured my face, topped my cheeks with a soft blush, and applied MAC's Creme De Nude lipstick to finish my face.

Peninsula Valdes - Whale (Patagonia)
Southern right whales can be found in the Golfo Nuevo between the peninsula and the Patagonian mainland. In spring they come to mate and calve. With a zodiac we could approach these enormous mammals closely.
