Session Introduction
Surendra Dara
University of California Cooperative Extension
Title: Entomopathogenic fungi as holistic tools in crop production and protection
Surendra Dara obtained his PhD in Entomology from Virginia Tech. He specializes in entomopathology and focuses his research on providing IPM solutions for strawberries, vegetables and other crops in California. He authored or co-authored more than 200 publications that include extension articles, journal articles, book chapters and manuals. He holds offices at the Society of Invertebrate Pathology and Entomological Society of America Pacific Branch. He is the Vice-Chair of National Working Group on Microbial Control of Arthropod Pests, Chair of the Strawberry Work Group and a Member of the Sustainable Food Systems Strategic Initiative at University of California.
Entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium brunneum and Isaria fumosorosea are traditionally used in crop protection to manage arthropod pests. However, recent studies show that their interaction with plants as mycorrhizae and endophytes allows them to play a bigger role in crop production. Improved plant growth, plant health, biomass and protection from plant diseases are additional contributions of entomopathogenic fungi. Entomopathogenic fungi might also help with conservation of nutrients and moisture through improved absorption. Understanding the plant-entomopathogen-arthropod interactions and exploring their potential for overall plant health contributes to sustainable pest management.

Benson Hill Biosystems, The Photosynthesis Company™ established a unique platform for the discovery and validation of approaches to increase photosynthetic efficiency and ultimately crop yield. Based on a deep knowledge of photosynthesis, state-of-the-art transcriptomics and proprietary computational biology databases and algorithms, candidate genes have been identified to improve the photosynthetic machinery of plants. We established unique model systems for crops with C3 and C4-photosynthesis for a fast and systematic validation of candidate genes in planta. Lead genes have been identified that when over-expressed under the control of developmentally regulated promoters lead to a significantly increased photosynthesis rate, plant growth, biomass production and seed yield in model plants. Promising lead genes have been transformed into several crops and their performance has been confirmed in field trials. We will present our discovery and validation platform and will discuss results from the over-expression of our most promising lead genes in model plants and crops. Benson Hill Biosystems already established commercial partnerships with market leaders: For potato we collaborate with Simplot for sugarcane in Brazil with Centro de Tecnologia Canavieira (CTC) for corn and wheat with Limagrain. We are actively seeking for new partnerships with seed companies in Asia that are interested to work with us in crops such as corn, rice, sugarcane, soybean, cotton and trees to increase crop yield through improved photosynthesis.

Title: Climate smart cropping systems
Bolla Joseph is currently working as the Professor and Head of the Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Prof. Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University, India
The name agriculture becomes imbalance weigher when all well management cropping practices are always lighter than evergreen climate change and in order to balance between these two handles of world food supply chain population explosion needs well managed cropping practice is needed which will fit and sustain in extremes of future climate change. Agriculture production system should be cheap, adaptive, development oriented, high mitigation controllable and meet the demands of increasing food in sustainable ways to become it as climate-smart. A climate smart agriculture is interaction of climate effect and community adaptability, with well research and micro level interactive understanding allows to design, execute the climate-smart agricultural practices. Improvements in the management of agricultural systems bring us significantly closer to safe operating spaces will require transformations in governance and use of our natural resources, underpinned by enabling political, social and economic conditions beyond incremental changes. Establishing scientifically credible indicators and metrics of long-term safe operating spaces in the context of a changing climate and growing social-ecological challenges is critical to creating the societal demand and political will is required to motivate the deep transformation for innovative and transitional changes. A collective and collaborative wok spheres is needed in ecological management, social, integration of data analysis and framework of national and international policy to facilitate decision making informed by metrics and indicators of safe operating spaces.

Title: Response of physiological and biomass production of baby spinach (Spinacia oleracea L) leafy vegetable to nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium nutrition
Fhatuwani Mudau N is currently working as Professor at University of South Africa, South Africa.
Baby spinach is a relatively a new crop in South Africa which has a commercially significant and is reputed to have health attributes such as protection against degenerative diseases of ageing, such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, cataracts and several forms of cancer. Three parallel NPK trials to investigate the response of baby spinach vegetable to Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) on growth and development were conducted. N and P treatments were arranged as follows 0, 45, 75, 105, 120 kg∙ha-1 N and P and K treatments arranged as 0, 63, 85, 127, 148 kg∙ha-1 arranged in a randomised complete block designed with four replicates. Results showed that yield, dry matter, chlorophyll content, leaf area index were significantly increased by increasing N application, while K had no significance and effect on the yield, dry matter, chlorophyll content, stomatal conductance except on the leaf area index. Nitrogen treatments quadratically increased fresh yield, dry matter and chlorophyll content reaching maximum at 75 Kg N ha -1. Phosphorus application showed a significance yields, dry matter as well as chlorophyll content reaching maximum at 75 kg P ha-1. Therefore, to achieve optimum growth for N and P, 75 kg∙ha-1 N or P is recommended. The NPK combined trial arranged as 0, 30: 30: 40, 45:45:60, 60:60:70, 75:75:90 kg∙ha-1 arranged in a randomised complete block design with three replicates.The results showed that high yields, chlorophyll content, fresh and dry matter reached maximum where NPK combined was applied at 45:45:60kg∙ha-1.

Title: Studies on Amla and Terminalia based agri-horticultural system intercropped with Aswagandha
A Madhavi Lata completed her PhD (Agronomy) in 2011 from Acharya N G Ranga Agricultural University and is working as Associate Professor in Department of Farm Forestry at College of Agriculture, Prof. Jayashanker Telangana State Agricultural University, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. She is guiding both under graduate and post graduate students through teaching and research. She has attended a number of International and National conferences and presented papers on medicinal plants.
An experiment was conducted during kharif seasons of 2008-09 and 2009-10 at AICRP on Agroforestry, PJTSAU, Rajendrangar. The present investigation comprised of agroforestry model with aswagandha intercropped in four year old amla and terminalia agri-horticultural systems laid in split plot design with three replications.The treatments in aswagandha based agri-horticultural systems consisted of three cropping situations as main plots viz., intercropping of aswagandha in amla, intercropping of aswagandha in terminalia and sole cropping of aswagandha.
The results indicated that among the different cropping situations studied in aswagandha based agri-horticultural system; growth parameters like plant height, dry matter production and leaf area per plant of aswagandha were markedly higher under sole cropping situation when compared to intercropping situation both in amla and terminalia. Days to physiological maturity of aswagandha was delayed by 9-10 days in intercropping situation in terminalia when compared to intercropping in amla. Root and seed yields (kg ha-1) of aswagandha were the highest with sole cropping situation compared to either of the intercropping situations. Aswagandha performed better to some extent as an intercrop in amla as compared in terminalia. With an olide content (%) was significantly more under sole cropping. PAR was more under sole cropping compared to intercropping situation.
Asad Alkhader
National Center for Agricultural Research and Extension
Title: The impact of phosphorus fertilizers on heavy metals content of soils and vegetables grown on selected farms in Jordan
Alkhader has completed his PhD (in Horticulture and Crop Science) at the age of 49 years from University of Jordan. His MSc in Soils and Irrigation was also from the same university. He is working as a researcher in National Center for Agricultural Research And Extension (NCARE) in crop water and nutrient management. He is also the coordinator of the National Fertigation Project. He has published 4 papers in reputed journals and has been serving as a member of fertilizer committee in his country (Jordan).
A survey was conducted to investigate the contamination of soils, plants and irrigation water with Cd, Pb and As heavy metals. Thirteen farms located from three locations characterized by intensive agricultural activities in Jordan (The Jordan Valley, Alyadoda, and Jarash) were selected for this purpose. Soil, plant and irrigation water samples were collected for chemical analysis: mainly heavy metals and P contents. The soil samples were collected from the 0-20 cm depth and the plant samples were collected from the available grown vegetables in the selected farms.
The tolerable level of Cd in fruit vegetables of 0.05 mg kg-1 fresh weight was approached by cucumber plant from farm no. 4 (0.06 ppm), tomato plant (0.06 -0.07 ppm), and exceeded by hot pepper (0.14 ppm). On the other hand, the permissible concentration of Pb in fruit vegetables of 0.1 mg kg-1 fresh weight was surpassed by tomato plants (0.24 -0.77 ppm); sweet pepper (0.14 ppm); cucumber plants (0.28-0.40 ppm) and hot pepper (0.88 ppm). Also, red cabbage 9 had Pb content (0.97 ppm) higher than the accepted level of 0.3 mg kg-1 of fresh weight for brassica vegetables. However, lettuce iceberg plants are within allowable levels of Cd and Pb of 0.2 and 0.3 mg kg-1 of fresh weight, respectively, for leafy vegetables. While, the Cd concentration in these lettuce plants ranged from 0.03 to 0.05 ppm (on fresh weight basis), the Pb concentration varied from 0.12 to 0.25 ppm (on fresh weight basis). All selected crops are safe with respect to As content as their contents of this heavy metal are much less than the established acceptable concentration of 1 mg kg-1 fresh weight.
The results suggest that the most probable sources of the heavy metals (Cd, Pb and As) in the collected samples from soils and crops from the selected farms are soil parent materials and pesticides application. However, P fertilizers additions for long time period might also contribute to the heavy metals contents of the plants and escalate the problem. Polluted air, also, represents a potential source for the heavy metals in the plants.
Chemical analysis of the irrigation water used in the selected farms suggest that such water can't be considered as probable sources of heavy metals in the investigated soils from the selected farms. The levels of heavy metals in some selected fertilizers used by farmers in Jordan are, also, regarded below the permissible limits, but still likely sources of heavy metals in agricultural soils in under long-term application of such P fertilizers.

Title: Graft compatibility between Solanum lasiocarpum and Solanum torvum as a potential tool to mitigate soil-borne diseases in Sarawak
Maclin Dayod is currently the Head of Crop Breeding and Miscellaneous Crops Section in the Research Division of the Department of Agriculture Sarawak, Malaysia. Since 2012, his research work focuses on breeding for good eating quality in Oryza sativa L and varietal improvement in Solanum lasiocarpum Dunal. He is also responsible for the conservation and propagation of various crops which include pepper and other spices, herbs and medicinal plants. He also had researched on the impact of calcium on plant water channels (aquaporins) and uptake for his PhD and the physiological changes in barley due to water logging for his Master's degree.
Terung Asam Sarawak (Solanum lasiocarpum Dunal) is a unique indigenous fruit vegetable in Sarawak. A recent product development work by researchers in the Department of Agriculture Sarawak showed that the fruit can be processed into various products such as juice, jam, puree and dehydrated slices. These products provide opportunities for commercialization of the crop. However, the crop is very susceptible to many soil-borne pathogens in particular bacterial wilt and phytopthora. This problem hampers the big scale planting of the crop. Hence, grafting work was initiated to mitigate the problem. Six to eight-leaves plants were used for grafting and wedge and saddle methods were compared. Initial studies showed promising graft compatibility between Solanum lasiocarpum as scion and Solanum torvum as rootstock. Yield of grafted plants were between 1.5 and 3.2 kg/plant which is comparable to the non-grafted plants. Saddle technique looks more promising than the wedge technique. Field performances of the grafted plants are being monitored and their fruit nutritional contents will be analyzed.

Title: A survey report on application of pesticides on tomato (Lycopersicon esculantum) in Bishnupur district, a major commercial vegetable producing area in Manipur, India
Ningthoujam Shovarani is working as Research Scientist at Indian Council of Agricultural Research, India.
Tomato is one of the main items in daily food we eat. Off-season production of tomato is widely accepted by the farmers in Manipur for higher returns because of the ideal soil and climatic conditions for cultivation of vegetable. Like other states of India it is seriously affected by pest attack. To reduce damage and increase in yield for commercial purpose farmers in Manipur generally use various pesticides. The investigations were carried out during the month of Sept 2014 to April 2015. The aim of present study is to identify the commonly used pesticides on tomato and to study the attitudes and practices developed by vegetable growers about pesticide applications. Questionnaires which include socio-professional factors, provisions and operations concerning the use of varieties of pesticides were addressed to vegetable growers in various vegetable farms. In order to complete the data regarding the commonly used pesticides on tomatoes in Bishnupur District various vegetable growers were cross-examined and information were also collected from various agrochemical agents and Farm Science Centre, Utlou. The survey showed that farmers have an acceptable knowledge to exploit instructions concerning the pesticide use but majority of them do not use the recommended tools. Most of them did not received training on pesticide used and no recommendation from agriculture expert. They used pesticides only after consulting with the agrochemical dealers. None of the vegetable growers usually wear goggles while handling and spraying of pesticides, very few wear gloves and maximum of them wear oro-nasal mask. Failure to observe minimum intervals between pesticide application and sale is worrying because toxic (Mancozeb, Carbofuran, Bipyridyl) and moderately toxic (Cypermethrin, Imidacloprid, Profenofos, Chlorpyrifos, Propineb, Dichlorvos) are the products currently used in Bishnupur District. The present investigation indicates that pesticide application in Bishnupur District represents a possible risk for the environment, farmers and consumers. Research studies are very much needed to measure pesticide residues on tomatoes currently consumed in Manipur. Survey on pesticide applications in other districts of Manipur are also necessary and moreover to determine the potential effect of those products on human and animal health.

Title: Nematicidal potential of extracts from some selected plants against the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita
Bukola Aminu-Taiwo is working as Research Scientist at National Horticultural Research Institute, Nigeria.
The use of botanical extracts for controlling plant parasitic nematodes is becoming more popular because of the problem of environmental pollution arising from the use of persistent pesticides. Some nematicides have been banned, yet the farmers still use them. This poses danger to human, the environment, beneficial microbes in the soil as well as underground body water. This emphasizes the need for new methods of control such as the use of environmentally-friendly plant extracts. Therefore, effects of water extracts of leaves of Tagetes erecta (Marigold), Tithonia diversifolia (Mexican sunflower), Chromolaena odorata (Siam weed) and Occimum gratissimun (Tree basil) each at 3.3, 5.0, 6,6, 8.3 and 10% w/v, on eggs and second stage juveniles of Meloidogyne incognita were investigated in vitro. The efficacy of dry milled leaves of these plants at 1 t/ha and 2 t/ha and carbofuran at 1.5kg a.i./ha and 2.5kg a.i./ha were also evaluated against M. incognita in a screen house.
Fifty M. incognita eggs per 1ml in water suspension were pipette and dispensed into glass blocks and 1ml of each extract at different concentrations were added. Fifty freshly hatched juveniles per 1ml were also dispensed into a glass blocks and 1 ml of each plant extracts at different concentrations were also added. Distilled water served as control. Hatched eggs were counted every 24 hours for 10 days while juveniles were observed for mortality every 24 hours for five days. In the screen house, 48 pots were filled with sterilized soil. Treatments were carbofuran (1.5 and 2.5 kg a.i./ha), milled dried leaves of marigold, siam weed, mexican sunflower and tree basil at 1t/ha and 2t/ha each and untreated control. Two days later four seeds of cucumber were sown in each of the 48 pots. One week after germination, the seedlings were each inoculated with 10,000 M incognita eggs. The treatments were arranged in a completely randomised designed with four replicates. Data were collected on Vegetative Growth (VG), Gall Index (GI), nematode reproduction and yield (g). LC50 was also determined. All data were analysed using ANOVA (p=0.05) and means were separated using Duncan multiple range test at 5% probability. Water extracts of T. erecta inhibited egg hatch by 90.5% at the highest concentration and was significantly higher than egg hatch observed in O. gratissimum which produced the lowest egg hatch inhibition of 70.7%. T. erecta also caused 100% juvenile mortality within 24 hours of exposure followed by T. diversifolia (59%), C. odorata (50%) and O. gratissimum 26.5% at the lowest concentration. Targetes erecta extract was the most potent among the plant extracts used with LC 50 of 0.31mg/ml-1. In the pot experiment, T. erecta, C. odorata, Carbofuran and O. gratissimun reduced GI by 62.5%, 65%, 75% and 75.5%, respectively. Similarly, RKN population was reduced by 85.4% in T. erecta-treated pots; C. odorata caused 87.6% reduction and Carbofuran 93.1%. The results of this study suggest that application of these plants as botanical pesticides in the management of RKN is highly promising, especially as they are readily available in Nigeria.

Title: Influence of post-harvest storage temperature and duration on quality of baby spinach
Ambani Richardo Mudau is on the final phase of his Masters degree at the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, University of South Africa.
Baby spinach (Spinacia oleracea L) is a member of the Amaranthaceae family. Its leaves have a very high respiration rate thus post-harvest quality is affected mostly by tissue decay and the development of off-odours. Thus, this study was conducted to investigate the influence of storage temperature and time on the post-harvest quality of baby spinach. Baby spinach leaves were harvested at 36 days after planting and subsequently stored at 4˚ C or 22˚ C for 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 days. Thereafter the leaves were incubated for 72 hours at 40˚ C to dry. Minerals, trace elements, total phenols, total carotenoids, flavonoids and antioxidant activities were measured. Composition of magnesium, zinc and iron declined after 8 days of storage at 4˚ C whilst at 22˚ C, they declined after 2 days of storage. Magnesium, zinc and iron revealed a similar trend with significantly higher carotenoids found up to 6 days in storage at 4˚ C whilst at 22˚ C the carotenoid levels declined after only 2 days. Total phenolic compounds gradually decreased in samples stored at 4˚ C. However, samples stored at 22˚ C showed a rapid decrease after 4 days. Both total antioxidant activities and Vitamin C content showed a similar trend with the content remaining constant at 4˚ C and decreasing after 6 days, whereas the total antioxidant activities and vitamin C for leaves stored at 22˚ C decreased immediately after 2 days. However, storage time and temperature did not exhibit significant effects on selenium. Results demonstrated that quality of baby spinach deteriorates as storage time and temperature increase.

University of Agricultural Sciences
Title: Association analysis of major nutrient and secondary nutrient status of leaves of selected castor genotypes and growth indices of Eri silkworm
S Chandrashekhar is working as Associate Professor at College of Sericulture, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru and is involved in Teaching, Research and Extension activities since seventeen years. He organized and participated in many national and international conferences, workshops etc. and published more than 50 scientific publications including research articles, books etc. He is recipient of many State and University awards and served as PI and Co-PI for externally funded projects. He also served as NSS Programme Officer since 9 years and organized health camps, social environmental and national integration camps for the benefit of students and farming community.
The foliar constituents of castor genotypes viz., major and secondary nutrients had marginal influence on growth indices showing positive trend with respect to improvement in the performance of eri silkworm. Major nutrient like nitrogen and secondary nutrient like calcium had significant relationship with growth indices, while the growth indices were non-significant with other major (phosphorus and potassium) and secondary nutrients (magnesium and sulphur). The growth indices viz., silk index (r=0.7707), oviposition index (r=0.7263), leaf – silk conversion rate (r=0.7096), growth index by per cent pupation (r=0.7281) and net reproductive rate (r=0.7386) with nitrogen content of castor leaves showed significant positive relationship among them. Further, calcium content was found to have significantly positive correlation with larval weight index (r=0.8969), cocoon weight index (r=0.9548), silk index (r=0.9688), eclosion index (r=0.8936), oviposition index (r=0.9425), leaf-cocoon ratio (r=0.8408), leaf - egg ratio (r=0.8672), leaf – cocoon conversion rate (r=0.8521), leaf – silk conversion rate (r=0.9323), growth index by per cent pupation (r=0.9815), growth index by per cent moth emergence (r= 0.9609) and net reproductive rate (r=0.9492), while the trend was reverse with larval duration index (r=-0.9405), pupal duration index (r=-0.9293) and larval -pupal duration index (r=-0.9579).

Scientists discover a natural molecule to treat type 2 diabetes
Researchers at the Université Laval Faculty of Medicine, the Quebec Heart and Lung Institute Research Center, and the Institute of Nutrition and Functional Foods have discovered a natural molecule that could be used to treat insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The molecule, a derivative of omega-3 fatty acids, mimics some of the effects of physical exercise on blood glucose regulation. The details of the discovery made by Professor André Marette and his team are published today in Nature Medicine.
It has been known for some time that omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce insulin resistance caused by a diet high in saturated fat. In their earlier work, André Marette and his colleagues had linked these effects to a bioactive lipid called protectin D1. In investigating further, they discovered that another member of the same family named protectin DX (PDX) triggers the production and release of interleukin 6 (IL-6) in muscle cells, a response that also occurs during physical exercise. "Once in the bloodstream, IL-6 controls glucose levels in two ways: it signals to the liver to reduce glucose production and acts directly on the muscles to increase glucose uptake," explains the researcher who is also Scientific Director of Université Laval's Institute of Nutrition and Functional Foods.
The researchers used transgenic mice lacking the IL-6 gene to demonstrate the link between PDX and IL-6. PDX had very little effect on the control of blood glucose in these animals. In similar tests conducted on obese diabetic rats, PDX was shown to dramatically improve responsiveness to insulin, the hormone which regulates blood glucose. "The mechanism of action described for PDX represents a new therapeutic strategy for improving glucose control," proposes the researcher. "Its efficacy may be comparable with that of certain drugs currently prescribed to control glycemia."
Even though PDX appears to mimic the effect of physical exercise by triggering IL-6 secretion in the muscles, André Marette warns that it is not a substitute for physical activity. "Exercise has cardiovascular and other hormonal benefits that go well beyond its metabolic effects on the muscles," adds the researcher whose work is supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Canadian Diabetes Association.
Professor Marette and Université Laval have filed a patent application for PDX and its therapeutic applications. "For us, the next step is to demonstrate the antidiabetic effects in humans and determine the receptor through which PDX acts."
In addition to André Marette, the study is authored by Phillip White, Philippe St-Pierre, Alexandre Charbonneau, Patricia Mitchell, Emmanuelle St-Amand, and Bruno Marcotte.
The Lost Sunday
Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy affects all peripheral nerves including pain fibres, motor neurons and the auto-nomic nervous system. It therefore can affect all organs and systems, as all are inner-vated. There are several distinct syndromes based upon the organ systems and members affected, but these are by no means exclusive. A patient can have sensori-motor and auto-nomic neuropathy or any other combination. Symptoms vary depending on the nerve(s) affected.
Symptoms may include:
- Numbness and tingling of extremities
- Dysesthesia (abnormal sensation to a body part)
- Diarrhoea
- Erectile dysfunction
- Urinary incontinence (loss of bladder control)
- Facial, mouth and eyelid drooping
- Vision changes
- Dizziness
- Muscle weakness
- Difficulty swallowing
- Speech impairment
- Fasciculation (muscle contractions)
- Anorgasmia (unable to ejaculate)
- Burning sensation
- Electric pain
My own experience of this incurable illness, so far, has been mainly concentrated to my lower limbs, however, I also experience discomfort in my arms, hands and fingers, along with my neck and lower back.
Imagine constantly having pins and needles. Now imagine periodically loosing feeling in your toes, feet and legs. You are constantly cold in these areas too, despite your upper body being uncomfortably hot at times. Now imagine that every few minutes someone sends painful electric shocks through these areas.
There is no respite from this.
Imagine too that walking any distance greater than the end of a 2 car length driveway, increases the aforementioned pain 10 fold.
I totally regret that I never did more….. I used to cycle to work; I used to go to the gym three or four times each week. I used to be able to take my children to the park, out on bike rides and so on.
All of this has been taken away from me.
I now have to use a stick to aid my walking, but I cannot walk any distance. For example, I may walk around a supermarket at my pace with my wife and children, but I will always have to sit down after because of the pain. About 50% of the time I will have to abort before the shopping trip is completed and sit in the café area because I cannot continue.
I take a minimum of 12 pills per day, however, if I am having a really bad day that can be as much as 30.
My mobility has been greatly affected by the Neuropathy, and although I am taking medication with the aim to reduce the pain or make my life more liveable, I am some way off from that at this time. To explain; my GP, is very proactive and since my absence from work has changed my medications a number of times to try to find a beneficial concoction. This has meant a complete change of drug or a change of dosage. These are not quick changes, the body has to be weaned off one drug prior to it being introduced to another, usually a minimum period of a week for these changes to take effect, and another week to 10 days before the impact can be assessed.
It is not a process that can be rushed. During this time there are of course side effects, such as increased drowsiness, poor appetite, increased appetite, diarrhoea, insomnia, loss of concentration and so on. Things that are compounded by the diabetes, the neuropathy, and the depression – yes I have a mental illness too.
On top of this, due in part to the diabetes, I suffer daily from fatigue – some days I do not have enough energy to even get out of my bed. This should not be confused with tiredness. To help you understand I would like to give you an example of a recent incident. After washing up, vacuuming the lounge and putting the rubbish out, a wave of tiredness hit me (it's like your body is made out of metal and a powerful magnet is pulling you in to the ground) so I had to sit down. This was at 1030 in the morning. I was woken by my Wife at 1145 who then assisted me in getting upstairs to our bedroom. I went to bed as I simply could not function. I awoke the next day at 0800. I got up feeling groggy. I assisted with the preparation for school and then after eating a light breakfast fell asleep on the sofa again. This was repeated over the next few days, until my body had recovered. I have no control over this. Tests have shown that my white blood cell count is high and this is also currently under investigation.
I mention this not for sympathy, but to help you to understand that I have undergone a monumental change over a very short period of time. And that I am not on my own, there are other sufferers of unseen illnesses also struggling to come to terms with a newly limited life.
If only employers would do more. If only tests for Diabetes were mandatory every two years. I went undiagnosed for TEN YEARS. I just thought the long hours I was keeping at work etc were the reason I was tired.
So get yourself checked out. Please.
This is no fun
What's it like living with type 2 diabetes, afterall, lots of people have it?
Well for me its been a shock to the system. Where I used to take walking, cycling and driving for granted, they're gone or vastly reduced now. Neuropathic pain brought on by the diabetes means I can only walk a short distance even with the aid of a stick. I miss driving. If I could afford a car with an automatic 'box I'd get one, but holding the clutch is a pain after a while.
I lay awake most nights waiting for the drugs to kick in. I miss going to the gym.
I fall asleep during the day, and some days I can't get out of bed at all, either because of then pain in my legs and feet or because I am exhausted because I did some vacuuming or mowed the lawn the day before.
But I am most grateful to my wife and kiddies, without them I couldn't carry on.

Hi everybody!
Today's outfit is cute and casual for a summer day out. I even got a compliment on it today! It's far too hot out to meander about in anything other than shorts or skirts. I found this lovely statement skirt on sale at J Crew. It has a bright, bold pattern that swishes about as I walk. Since it's so eye-catching, the rest of the outfit is rather complimentary with a plain white tee, and neutral accessories.
I hope you enjoyed!

This musical composition is nothing short of amazing and it just goes to show how talented some people in this world are. The song starts and the two people who are playing are completely in time with one another. They start by playing the introduction to one of the song before the other song comes in soon after, so you can already start to see how this magical combination fits together
You will be able to hear both of these famous songs in this composition and it is a wonderful song in general. You need to hear this one for yourself if you want to truly appreciate what this has to offer and it just goes to show that if you try hard enough at something, anything is possible. Wow, this one is really amazing and you would not believe how great this sounds.

Chicago Women in Philanthropy Annual Luncheon
Save the Date! April 10, 2019, Connie L. Lindsey, Executive Vice President, Northern Trust
Interested in supporting CWIP's Annual Luncheon? Click here for sponsorship details.
Notes and Review from the 2018 CWIP Annual Luncheon provided by Anne Zender
"When women wake, mountains move," is one of Elizabeth Dozier's favorite quotes. Dozier, Chicago Women in Philanthropy's Making a Difference honoree, cited that quote during her keynote speech at CWIP's Annual Luncheon on March 2.
Dozier is managing director of Chicago Beyond, a privately held organization that seeks to create opportunity and access for Chicago's young people. The group invests in and analyzes ideas and programs to address youth violence and educational attainment.
Dozier is a former Fenger Academy High School Principal who was featured on the 2014 CNN documentary series "Chicagoland." She told the story of a student who was shot in the head during her time at Fenger. From that experience, she learned "to realize that every moment is precious, we never know when people will be there and when they won't…Treat people with dignity, humanity, decency, even when it is hard."
She said Chicago Beyond is particularly interested in organizations that "are getting to the very core of what we are trying to disrupt." The CWIP luncheon featured a performance by Changing Voices, a program that serves court-involved juveniles and young adults. In 2016, Changing Voices was one of three winners in Chicago Beyond's first-ever innovation challenge.
Dozier urged her listeners to "look more to see the potential in those who exist on the perimeters of Chicago. How are we building bridges and throwing down ropes?" She urged the audience to "see people not as caterpillars but as butterflies. It is incumbent that we unleash that ability within ourselves."
"Our collective liberation is bound together one to another," Dozier said. "We are all connected. You can believe you can't change the things you don't like, but the day you see that for a lie is the day your world opens up."
The luncheon also featured remarks by Lindrea Reynolds, mentee participant in CWIP's Women's Leadership Mentoring Program and marketing manager for After School Matters, and Sandra Abrevaya, president and chief impact officer at Thrive Chicago, a citywide collective impact initiative.

Contrary to some educational propaganda, Native cultures are alive and thriving. The RiverWinds enjoy sharing their cultures, traditions and ways with people of other nations and ethnicities to increase understanding, peace and promote global wellbeing.
"We don't want power, we don't want to be congressmen, or bankers....we want to be ourselves. We want to have our heritage, because we are the owners of this land and because we belong here." ~ From the 1927 Grand Council of American Indians
The RiverWinds desire to truly make a positive change in the world today. To that end, they are actively involved in government liason, social improvements and increased environmental responsibility. They are qualified to do so through the Northern Arawak Tribal Nation. Chief Joseph is the War Chief and is currently the acting Principal Chief of the Tribe. Dr. Laralyn RiverWind is their Tekina (Tribal Spokesperson). They are approved speakers for ACT for America, the largest grassroots organization for counter-terrorism.
"Force, no matter how concealed, begets resistance." ~ Lakota proverb
Close to their hearts and never far from their minds is the nation of Israel. Inspired by the story of the restoration of ancestral homelands to the Jewish people, the RiverWinds hold the hope that, to some small degree, a similar story may one day belong to the First Nations people of the Americas. You can also Explore Israel with The RiverWinds on one of their unique tours. See the video and information below.
"The rainbow is a sign from Him who is in all things." ~ Hopi proverb

New Year
**** *** **** *** **** ***
I love the LOL Cats!
I think you either love or hate them.
I did read on someone's Facebook page that they hate the language applied to them, as it didn't reflect a cat's intelligence. I know what she means, I don't doubt how intelligent cats are. There was always a deep wisdom in Scooter's eyes. But there was often a wee bit of cheekiness, too.
I've no doubt that, just as I don't feel my 45 years on the inside, neither did he feel his 19, or whatever it was in cat years. On the inside there was still a trace of mischievous kitten. I think that's the same for all cats. So that's why I can imagine them using LOL Cat English. Just as Bob T Bear (esq) uses Bear English, after all.
I think there are pictures around of LOL Dogs, but I don't think it works. It works with cats because we all have a hunch that they are up to something.
The way it drags on and on is getting very boring!

Bobby Brown recently had a 20/20 interview with Robin Roberts and he made some candid revelations about the deaths of his wife Whitney Houston and daughter Bobbi Kristina.
The 47-year-old was married to Houston, who died in 2012 at age 48, for 15 years. In 2003, Brown was reportedly charged with misdemeanor battery related to alleged domestic violence.
They had a volatile romance,and during that period, Brown said that he and the pop star had devolved into a pattern of drug abuse. Brown and Houston would lock themselves in one wing of their mansion, getting high while nannies cared for their daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown just rooms away.
"I always made it a point to not let her see me or my wife in that type of situation," he insisted, though. "It's hard when you're doing it everyday, it's really hard. We could have been better. We should have been better."
"The last few years of our marriage it was terrible," he explained. "Both of us trying to be clean, or one of us trying to be clean… it was terrible."
He has also written a memoir titled 'Every Little Step, My Story' and he cited cocaine, alcohol and crack-laced joints as his substances of choice and it will be out from June 13th 2016.
During the interview, he slammed longtime rumors that it was he who led Houston to drug abuse, "It wasn't me who started her," Brown said. "I take my part and I take it hard for me even being a part of it, but we all have our own minds and some of us are stronger than others."
Here are some of the other things he said in his interview:
- Houston Started Flirting with Him at the 1989 Soul Train Awards
- Nick Gordon Knows What Happened to Bobbi Kristina
- New Edition Was Only Paid $500 For Their First Hit, "Candy Girl"
- He is no longer doing drugs

Public Sociology at George Mason
Public Sociology Practice
"The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it" -Karl Marx
And, this is what Public Sociology aims to do.
Sociology is Public Sociology when it includes the following*:
- A sociological theoretical framework for outlining the nature of the social problem being addressed.
- A current and comprehensive examination of the sociological literature on the social problem.
- Sociological research methods either developing empirical measure or analyzing empirical evidence (quantitatively or qualitatively, official sources and ethnographic sources, etc) exploring the nature of the social problem.
- Dissemination in conventional scholarly outlets (peer-reviewed journals, university or academic press publishers, etc.) as well as dissemination for broader public use (such as testimony to Congress, or presentation to the City Council,) to advocate for a sociologically-informed solution to the social problem.
This page is intended to promote awareness and support for public sociology endeavors. The following past, on-going, and up-coming projects are considered to be works of public sociology, and they aim to promote social justice in various ways and through diverse avenues.
Death Row Exoneree Projects
Saundra D. Westervelt (University of North Carolina Greensboro; author of Shifting the Blame: How Victimization Became a Criminal Defense.)
Kimberly J. Cook (Chair of sociology and criminology department at University of North Carolina Wilmington; author of Divided Passions: Public Opinions on Abortion and the Death Penalty.)
Through sociological research, Cook and Westervelt help the public to understand exonerees in ways that go beyond basic descriptive and journalistic accounts.
Since 2003, with the help of funding from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro and the American Sociological Association, we've conducted 18 life-story interviews with death row exonerees. After years of hearing their stories told by attorneys, judges, and the media, we wanted to give them a venue to speak for themselves and claim their own stories.
They came from varying backgrounds and had spent anywhere from two years to 26 years in prison and one year to 18 years on death row. All were convicted of heinous and stigmatizing crimes.

Publication: "Framing innocents: the wrongly convicted as victims of state harm"
Saundra D. Westervelt & Kimberly J. Cook
Published online: 8 January 2010
# Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009
We adapt the victimology of 'state harms' framework outlined by Kauzlarich et al. (Critical Criminology, 10(3), 173–194, 2001) to understand the post-exoneration experiences of 18 death row exonerees. Kauzlarich et al. develop six points of commonality shared by most victims of state crime. Application of this framework to death row exonerees highlights the role the state plays in creating and exacerbating the harms they suffer. This analysis also lays a foundation for further theoretical inquiry into the wrongful conviction of the innocent as a form of state crime.
See the link below for the complete article:
For a book chapter ("Feminist Research Methods in Theory and Action") related to this death row exoneree work, see the link below:
Cultural Citizenship, by Dr. Toby Miller
This project, Cultural Citizenship (Temple, 2007), has just come out. It argues that we are in a crisis of belonging, a population crisis, of who, what, when, and where. More and more people feel as though they do not belong; more and more people are seeking to belong; and more and more people are not counted as belonging. Cultural Citizenship is concerned with the way this crisis is both registered and held in check in the United States, through practices of government, consumption, risk, and moral panic in popular culture, specifically television. With economic welfare disowned as a responsibility of the sovereign-state, and pushed onto individuals and communities, governing at a distance is the norm. Traditional means of state control, via instruction or restraint, have been added to by a project of neoliberalism that seeks to manage subjectivity through cultureÂ-ironically, the very thing supposedly imperiled by threats to belonging. After some discussions of theories of culture and citizenship that exemplify public sociology, the book focuses on television and citizenship through case studies of war coverage since 2001 and coverage of food and environmental issues.
The Meritocracy Myth
Stephen J. McNamee and Robert K. Miller, Jr.
University of North Carolina Wilmington
This book challenges the widely held American belief in meritocracy—that people get out of the system what they put into it based on individual merit. The book first reviews each of the four components of merit—being talented, having the right attitude, working hard, and having high moral character—in terms of its impact on getting ahead. The book then identifies various non-merit factors that suppress, neutralize, or negate the effects of merit. These non-merit factors include the effects of inheritance as unequal starting points in the race to get ahead, the effects of who you know (social capital) and "fitting in" (cultural capital), being at the right place at the right time (luck), unequal access to educational opportunities, decline in rates self-employment and the prospects of being a "self-made" person, and discrimination on the bases of race, sex, age, sexual orientation, physical disability, region, religion, and physical appearance. A purely meritocratic system may not ultimately be either desirable or possible. Nevertheless, if the system were to more closely approximate a true meritocracy, societal-level reforms would be necessary. In the meantime, the myth of meritocracy is itself harmful because it provides an incomplete explanation for success and failure, mistakenly exalting the rich and unjustly condemning the poor.
There Is No Such Thing as a Natural Disaster is the first comprehensive critical book on the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans. The disaster will go down on record as one of the worst in American history, not least because of the government's inept and cavalier response. But it's also a huge story for other reasons. The impact of the hurricane was uneven, and race and class were deeply implicated in the unevenness. It was not by accident that the poorest and blackest neighborhoods were the ones that were buried under water. Also, the response underscored the impoverishment of social policy — or what passes for it — in George W. Bush's America. Finally, New Orleans is not just any place – it's a great American city with a rich history. What happened there can tell us a great deal about the state of urban and regional planning in contemporary America.

Emergency Communities
Emergency Communities is a nonpartisan and nondenominational organization comprised of men and women of all ages, races, religions, and ethnicities. E.C. provides rapid, effective, and community-based relief that not only saves lives, but helps rebuild them. The organization creates safe spaces for victims by providing hot meals, medical care, legal advice, and education. Born from the horrific Hurricane Katrina disaster, Emergency Communities supplements traditional disaster relief models by involving people who come from both within and outside the stricken community.
Steve Nock
Steve Nock has been collaborating with Laura Sanchez (Bowling Green State University) and Jim Wright (University of Central Florida) on a multi-year, multi-method longitudinal project to evaluate the design, implementation, and measurable outcomes of marriage and divorce reform in Louisiana and several other states.
The specific target of their research is the legal innovation known as covenant marriage. In Louisiana, Arizona, and Arkansas, couples elect one of two forms of marriage. Standard marriages are the familiar ones with no-fault divorce, and no requirements for counseling. Covenant marriages are governed by stricter fault-based divorce rules, require premarital education, and require efforts to resolve problems prior to a divorce.
Couples sign a declaration binding them to the terms of covenant marriage, thereby foregoing the possibility of legally obtaining a non-covenant divorce in another state that does not recognize this form of marriage (or, indeed, in their home state).
The results of their work indicate that marriage and divorce reform, as popular as it may be, is very difficult to implement as designed.
Fewer than 2% of newly married couples elect covenant marriage. Those that do tend to be more religious and traditional on a wide range of issues. They have divorce rates only half that of couples in standard marriages. Some of this lower divorce rate may be due to required premarital education. Most of it, however, is due to the type of religious individual or couple that elects covenant marriage.
In the past decade, every state in the US has experimented with some policy or law designed to reduce divorce, reduce unwed births, or strengthen marriage. The project on covnenat marriage is one of many that is intended to evaluate this legal and policy trend in America.
This report was funded by City of Birmingham Community Development Department and the Jefferson County Office of Planning and Development, and is intended to provide reliable, systematic data that can be used in fine-tuning and implementing an area-wide continuum of care plan, and developing a "Ten Year Strategy to End Homelessness.†The data presented here provide critical information concerning basic characteristics of the homeless, their residential histories, the underlying causes of their homelessness, health and well-being, service use patterns and basic service needs, sources of income and assistance, and social capital. Such information is essential for these governmental units, Metropolitan Birmingham Services for the Homeless (MBSH), and other local planning agencies in identifying various subgroups of homeless with specific needs and locating gaps in existing services.
Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism by James W. Loewen
From Maine to California, thousands of communities kept out African Americans (or sometimes Chinese Americans, Jewish Americans, etc.) by force, law, or custom. These communities are sometimes called "sundown towns" because some of them posted signs at their city limits reading, typically, "Nigger, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On You In ___." Some towns are still all white on purpose. When I began this research, I expected to find about 10 sundown towns in Illinois (my home state) and perhaps 50 across the country. Instead, I have found more than 440 in Illinois and thousands across the United States.
What we seek is information confirming that a given town did keep blacks out, either through the use of restrictive covenants throughout the town, violence or threats of same, bad behavior by white individuals, an ordinance, realtor steering, bank redlining, or other formal or informal policies. Also, although in the past many sundown towns kept out other groups, such as Mexicans, Asian Americans, Jews, etc., today most sundown towns have accepted all but blacks. However, we are still interested in them because they kept out (and may still keep out) blacks. Finally, some towns have given up being sundown, usually between 1970 and today, yet we are still interested in them owing to their past.
A first step, then, is to look up the census information on racial composition in various years. Next, local histories, newspapers, and oral histories are important in locating sundown towns.

The Global Social Change Research Project examines the ways in which societies are constructed and change over time. Present reports include global demographic, social, political, technological, economic and quality of life changes.
A main goal of the project is to produce a comprehensive web based report of how societies change, and the site serves as a web location where links are provided for all of the data used in the study. The site serves as a starting point for further research since data sets are available when possible. Planned future reports include examining the relationships among the various aspects of society and change in smaller regions or in individual states.
John Rice, an associate professor of sociology, Martin Kozloff, the Watson Distinguished Professor in the Department of Educational Leadership, and Eric irizarry, an outstanding graduate student in the Master's in School Administration program worked in conjunction with several colleagues to plan and design the program.
In early August, 2008 we recruited volunteer tutors from among undergraduate students in sociology and education classes. We also recruited children for the program by going door-to-door in the housing development, as well as by signing some kids up at the Hillcrest Community Open House Event held on September 20th.
We initiated the program on Monday, August 22nd. It got off to a slow start: the first day, only three children showed up. Eventually, we tutored 17 children from September 22nd to December 11th, 2009. Currently, the program continues to see progress in its students and will continue its efforts to close the achievement gap among black and white students in New Hanover County.

Why I believe
I had my times of doubt even though I have never considered renouncing my faith. The doubt was like a background noise, soft as a whisper but it was there…. I think faith is not the absence of doubt. But there can be doubt/faith in the midst of faith/doubt…When put together, it makes perfect sense. But it is not only pleasing to the mind. It allows me to wake up in the morning and look forward to each day with hope. That is why I believe
I had my times of doubt even though I have never considered renouncing my faith. The doubt was like a background noise, soft as a whisper but it was there. Since childhood, I have remained within the church circles. I was an obedient Sunday School kid, and an active church youth member. In college, I was a member of the students' fellowship. In fact, through college, I have always been in the executive committee of students' fellowship. But it was during those college days that I started to have this doubt: 'what if all this is not true'. What if this whole Christianity or religion thing is just a construct of humans?
I think faith is not the absence of doubt. But there can be doubt/faith in the midst of faith/doubt. Gideon knew about God's merciful dealings with Israel. But he had his doubt and had to double check before putting his trust on God. On the first night, God made the fleece soaking wet and all the ground around it stayed dry. The next night, God did the reverse: wet ground, dry fleece. So, Gideon took courage and went against the Midianites in battle. I wish God would show such clear-cut sign to every doubter. I wish Jesus would let every doubting Thomas touch his scars so that they may believe. But more blessed is he who believes in what he has not seen.
Over the years, I am able to spell out better why I believe. And this is what I would like to share with you; again, not because anybody asked for it :-). It didn't come as neatly as this when I first believed. But it was built over the years. The arrangement is inspired by a talk given by John Stott. He used the structure of the Bible story – Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Consummation – as the basis for Christian thinking. I would put it as Beauty, Sin, Resurrection, and Hope. This is the foundation of my faith.
The beauty of Creation is a strong reason for me to believe in a Creator. The orderliness of nature (day-night, seasons, rain-sunshine, natural order, intelligibility), the vastness of the universe (oceans, mountains, galaxies), attention to details (microscopic life forms, colours and shapes, landscapes), creativity within creation (technology, music, poetry, human progress), human creation (love, joy, friendship, procreation) are all amazing to see. How did all these come to being and are sustained? The beauty of creation speaks of the creator God.
The biblical concept of Sin best explains the contradiction of the human condition. And it is not something out there which is purely academic for some people. It touches each and everyone. Every human being is marked by both good and evil. As someone said that the line between good and evil runs through the middle of each of us. Romans 7 speaks of a universal struggle which everyone can relate to. Although we want to be good and do good, there is something pulling us back and it comes not from an external force, but from within. We can't help ourselves out of it through human progress or self-mastery (although many still try to do that) unless we are saved by a Saviour. That Sin is not only personal but is pervasive through the structures and systems of human existence is plain to see.
The story of Israel leading up to Jesus – his life, teachings, death, and resurrection – cannot be pulled apart into pieces. For example, you cannot take his teachings and disregard the entire Old Testament, as if that part doesn't matter anymore. But I find this most compelling as the basis of my faith that he rose again. It won't do if he rose again just in his spirit while his body rots in the grave, or that he rose again only figuratively/hypothetically, that his teachings continue to live on after his death. He had to rise again bodily in history or else Christianity would be so promising but fall short like any other religion. And if he did rose from the grave as the disciples preached, now that is extremely powerful and you just can't ignore it. We, humans, need no reminder that death is the finisher of everyone. So, if someone is said to have conquered death, everything about him becomes compelling to believe. It is written that when Jesus rose again, he first showed himself to women. If the disciples were simply making up a story, they won't be so foolish to have placed women as primary witnesses because women were not regarded as reliable witness. The fact that the gospels recorded women as first witnesses is a sign that something extraordinary happened. It wasn't a story which was made up by his believers. The first believers and believers over the ages would go on to live and give their lives telling the story of the risen Lord. Resurrection changes everything.
Hope, to me is more of an 'experience' of belief than an expectation, like, 'I hope it rains tomorrow'. Before explaining that, let me say that 'understanding' and 'experience' has to go together. If I search only for the experience of faith and disregard understanding what that faith is, I am like a madman who is always smiling for no reason. Also if my faith is all about understanding but not accompanied by experience, I am like a sound engineer who doesn't know how to enjoy music. Hope is an experience for me in the sense that, it injects joy and meaning to my life and what I do. Hope makes me believe that my life is meaningful and that I have an eternal future. Hope tells me that what I do has eternal value. Hope gives me the feeling that it will become alright one day, even when things don't go my way, I come second or play second fiddle, or been injured by others. Hope says that it is alright to do good without being acknowledged before people. Hope makes me want to try again when I fail because it is not too late yet. So, hope impacts behavior and action, and is not an idle expectation for a brighter future. It can lead to depression if one thinks of all the things that are going wrong in the world. But hope says that ultimate victory is assured. And this gives the motivation to do small things, putting one wrong thing to the right at a time. Hope in Christ is the hope of Redemption. Our hope in Christ is nothing short of the redemption of our bodies, and the redemption of the whole created order, to transform the perishable into the imperishable.
When put together, it makes perfect sense. But it is not only pleasing to the mind. It allows me to wake up in the morning and look forward to each day with hope. That is why I believe

The foundation that holds the copyright to The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank plans to add her father as a co-author to extend the term of copyright.
|Scooped by GoogleLitTrips Reading List
20 November 2015
There is something terribly sad about this article. In my oft-odd way of thinking, I am reminded of the recent publication of Go Set a Watchman, Harper Lee's apparent very rough draft for To Kill A Mockingbird.
The "connection" that comes to mind revolves around the damage that can be done to a book when some historical tidbit becomes sensationalized in ways that threaten the author's reputation.
In the case of Harper Lee, the publication of Go Set A Watchman, even in pre-publication, immediately became sensationalized pointing all attention to the possibility that Atticus Finch was actually a racist and that Harper Lee could also be a very mediocre writer. While at the same time playing down the more important serious questions about whether Harper Collins had actually secured the rights to publish Go Set A Watchman. It is not difficult to become suspicious that Harper Collins' decision to consider very thin evidence "proof enough" that Harper Lee somehow, maybe in a sort of way, was probably okay, with the publication. Potential damage to Harper Lee's literary reputation and to the reputation of one of literature's greatest protagonists be damned. There's profit to be made in publishing Go Set a Watchman.
Harper Lee, like virtually all published authors, had taken the advise of a professional editor, and recognized that serious revision was in order, leading to the much improved To Kill A Mockingbird. And, I suspect like virtually all published authors, she kept the first draft of her first novel as a personal keepsake.
As to The Diaries of a Young Girl, the idea of changing the authorship to include Otto Frank as a co-author raises concerns and suspicions that threaten the importance of having Anne Frank's tragic story available to touch our hearts and to influence our moral compasses.
The article points at two sad possibilities that may become the focal point of sensationalistic misdirection. The first being that the primary purpose of changing the authorship might be to work around copyright laws that would put the work into the public domain. The second being that there is something disreputable about the possibility that Otto Frank acted as an editor for the diary. There are acceptable defenses in both cases.
In the first case, particularly since the diary is a work relating to the horrors of the Holocaust, the end of copyright protection puts the work in the hands of Holocaust deniers who have ceaselessly taken every opportunity to spread their vile intentions. We can be sure they will be loud and unreliable in their exploitation of the end of copyright protection.
In the second case, changing of the authorship to include Otto Frank as a co-author shifts his role from having a degree of acceptibility as an editor to what the anti-factual haters can sensationalize as being proof of the story being little more than a deceitful fabrication; discrediting the essential truth of the story.
Did Anne Frank actually write the diary with intentions to publish? That may be unlikely. She was a young girl keeping a diary. Had she survived would the diary have taken on an importance that might have led her to polish the story a bit, perhaps with an editor? I would like to think so. Can Otto Frank be faulted for recognizing the importance of the content of his daughter's diary? I don't think so.
I do not know how much liberty Otto Frank took when editing the diary. I do not know to what degree he trimmed or enhanced the story. I do know that the essential narrative has served humanity in very important ways.
The questions raised in this article are fair. Are there ulterior motives at play? However there are responsibilities associated with raising those questions lest in pursuit of answers run the risk, exemplified by the article's title, of misdirecting attention towards what can be sensationalized as sharing negative assumptions similar to the distortion of the historical record often associated with the code phrase "revisionist history."
If we care, we must be careful.

When I was in high school, I waited for the day that my teacher would bring out the frogs. I just waited and waited, and it never happened. My biology teacher was a cool guy. He also taugh anatomy and physiology, so I knew he knew how, and we were the honors class. Heck, my teacher even had a pony tail and the cool classroom demeanor. He could have been the Fonz or something.
But when we walked into the room near the end of the year, we smelled something sort of funny. After asking him what it was, he told us that it was the preservative that they were keeping the cats in for his anatomy class. Cats? Later that week, we saw the heavy duty aluminum foil surroundings around them when he set them out in the room for them, and I think we heard some of his students naming them.
Thankfully it wasn't our scapel in hand with Fluffy and Mr. Meow, and it makes me wonder what they would have done if they had this free copy of Digital Frog 2 dissection software. Instead of taking a formaldehyde soaked feline, he could have set up a few laptops and let people have less of a clean-up in the end.
Of course, there was also that smell from down the hall from the marine biology lab and whatever it was they were dicing too…

Temperature of Exhaust System, Engine Output Performance.
An exhaust gas system of a two-stroke piston combustion engine has a significant impact on its maximal power output and speed characteristics. In the first part of this
paper there is described an impact of the exhaust gas pipeline system on the output speed characteristics. In the second part is analysed a relation between temperature of exhaust gases and speed characteristics, as well as there is determined an optimal temperature for achievement of the best output characteristics. Results presented in
this paper enable to optimise curve of the speed characteristics for application in various kinds of single-track vehicles.

With only two days to go until Christmas, I thought I would do a little post answering some typical Christmas questions. I am sure that there are many Christmas Tags out there but I have decided to create this one as a combination of some of the tags I have read this month and some of my own questions. Enjoy!
Category Archives: Tags
I Love Winter Tag!
I saw this tag over on Beautyminati's blog and I loved it! I will be attempting to participate in Blogmas this month and while I have most of my posts planned out for the next fortnight, I realised there weren't many posts specific to Winter/December/Christmas so when I saw her post this, I knew I had to 'borrow' the tag 🙂
Get to Know Me More!
As some of you may already know, I love doing Q&A posts as they pose great questions for the writer and some interesting reads for the audience. Saying that, I found an old website containing a few different tags for bloggers and loved the look of the 20 Questions Tag!
Make-up Q&A, by Taisie
I saw these questions online and as I read through them, I thought they would be so fun to answer so I decided to post them to my blog. I hope you all enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed answering them!
This or That Tag
I was tagged by the amazing Bhavini from BeautyPuzzled a few days ago after she read in my 21 Questions tag that I love tags! So, without further ado, here are my thoughts:
Get to Know Me in 21 Questions!
I simply love tags… They are quick and easy but reveal a lot about the writer and since I love learning about people, I thought I would do the 21 Questions tag so you can all learn a little more about me!
The First Date Tag
I was looking on Bloglovin yesterday and I saw a tag that I thought was really fun on a blogger site called Nina in the Spring. Although I've only ever been on two first dates, I thought the tag was such a great idea as it reveals quite a bit of the author's personality, style and beliefs so I decided to do it myself.
