Midwifery licensing: is it a consumer issue?Two weeks ago I wrote about midwifery licensing and rhetorical tricks. Reduced to its basic elements, the arguments for licensing a second, inferior class of midwife with less education and training than any midwives anywhere else in the industrialized world is not particularly compelling. Therefore, American DEMs and their supporters have been forced to resort to rhetorical tricks to mislead the public and legislators about direct entry midwifery. These tricks include obscuring the fact that DEMs have deficient training by claiming they are "experts" in normal birth, muddling the distinctions between certified nurse midwives and DEMs, and using the wrong statistics (infant mortality rate) to make the false claim that the US lags behind other industrialized countries in indicators of obstetric care.
These tactics have been reasonably successful in confusing the issue, but there are other rhetorical tricks that have been met with greater skepticism. This second group of rhetorical tricks represents efforts to portray the issue of DEM licensure as an issue of "choice" or an issue of "consumer rights".
Katherine Beckett and Bruce Hoffman have written in Challenging Medicine: Law, Resistance, and the Cultural Politics of Childbirth:
Midwives and their supporters consistently frame this debate as one centrally about individual choice, arguing vigorously that women have the right to choose where and with whom they will give birth. As the legislative sponsor in California stated, "At the core of this issue are two simple beliefs: first, that childbirth is a natural process of the human body and not a disease. And second, that a parent has the responsibility and the right to give birth where and with whom the parent chooses ..."Homebirth advocates are trying frame the "choice" of homebirth as similar to the choice of abortion and therefore guaranteed. Ironically, they want to trade on the widespread and widely acknowledged support for abortion rights despite the fact that many homebirth advocates (and many legislators) do not support the right to choose abortion.
... Notably, birth activists avoided linking this choice to the right to choose abortion by avoiding more general terms such as reproductive choice or the right to choose.
The connection between homebirth and "consumer rights" is even more tenuous. As Christa Craven, a professor of sociology and a homebirth advocates, writes in an article entitled Is Reproductive Healthcare Access a "Consumer Rights" Issue? in a publication of the American Anthropological Society:
... [M]any homebirthers have begun to adopt the rhetoric of "consumer rights" to defend their right to midwifery care... Through challenging the authority of biomedicalized childbirth, all homebirthers are engaging in dissident political acts, which has forced many ... to justify their actions as an issue of ideological choice (that is "every woman should have the right to use a homebirth midwife"). However, as midwifery advocates have been forced to "legitimize" their choices ... their arguments have become more centered upon "consumer choice" to enhance childbirth options (such as "every woman should have the right to hire a homebirth midwife").Craven is concerned that the rhetoric of consumer rights speaks only to the concerns of middle class and affluent women:
Although this consumer model offers some midwifery advocates a useful metaphor to describe themselves as political actors, it does not always speak to the experiences of women who have restricted financial options for birthcare. In fact, most middle-class, affluent participants in my study felt strongly that it was their right to have choices in their childbirth experience, while most low-income participants indicated an interest in choices for their birthcare, but also a dependence upon midwives as a low-cost childbirth option...In other words, when homebirth advocates talk about consumer rights, they mean that women with money have a "right" to spend it how they see fit, not that all women have a right to DEM care.
Homebirth advocates cannot make a compelling argument for licensing a second, poorly trained class of midwife, so they attempt to confuse the issue. Typically they do so by obscuring the poor training of DEMs, by implying that DEMs are the same as CNMs and by falsely accusing American obstetrics of providing substandard care. However, they also attempt to do so by trading on support for "choice" when many do not actually support true reproductive choice, and by asserting a non-existent "consumer right" to buy whatever they can pay for.

~~Friends are a Joy ~~
The warmest thoughts
We ever send
Are those that go
From friend to friend.
The happiest wishes
We ever make
Are the wishes made
For friendship's sake.
The loveliest memories
That we know were made
With good friends
Long ago.
The brightest tomorrows
Yet to be,
We'll find in
Friendship's company.
~~ Think Positive ~~
If you think you are beaten,
you are.
If you think you dare not,
you won't.
Success begins with your
own will...
It's all in your state
of mind.
Life's battles are not
always won
By those who are stronger
or faster;
Sooner or later the person
who wins
Is the person who thinks
he can.
~~ Love Is Magic ~~
Love is magic, pure and sweet,
for it alone makes life complete--
Love turns all the commonplace
to matchless beauty,
joy, and grace,
And when there's something
hearts would say,
Love, like magic, shows the way.
~~ Life Is Beautiful ~~
Life's twice as beautiful
shared by two--
A world filled with love
ever-old, ever-new,
Life's twice as beautiful
shared with each other--
Two happy people
who love one another!
~~To my friend~~
You have such a positive outlook on life
Your words are always encouraging
Your face is lit up with excitement
Your actions are so straightforward
Your inner strength helps you achieve so much
When people are around you
they seem to absorb your uplifting attitude
When I think about you
I can only think
of happiness
and how lucky I am
to know
~~A Friend Is One of the Best Things in Life ~~
Though we don't see each other very much
nor do we write to each other very much
nor do we phone each other very much
I always know that, at any time
I could call, write or see you
and everything would be exactly the same
You would understand everything I am saying
and everything that I am thinking
Our friendship does not depend
on being together
It is deeper than that
Our closeness is something inside of us
that is always there
ready to be shared with each other
whenever the need arises
It is such a comfortable and warm feeling
to know that
we have such a lifetime
~~Always Create Your Own Dreams and Live Life to the Fullest ~~
Dreams can come true
if you take the time to
think about what you want in life
Get to know yourself
Find out who you are
Choose your goals carefully
Be honest with yourself
Always believe in yourself
Find many interests and pursue them
Find out what is important to you
Find out what you are good at
Don't be afraid to make mistakes
Work hard to achieve successes
When things are not going right
don't give up - just try harder
Give yourself freedom to try out new things
Laugh and have a good time
Open yourself up to love
Take part in the beauty of nature
Be appreciative of all that you have
Help those less fortunate than you
Work towards peace in the world
Live life to the fullest
Create your own dreams and
follow them until they are a reality

Khartoum- Sudan (PANA) -- The International Criminal Court (ICC) may have inadver tently played a critical role in the widely expected re-election of Sudanese Pre s ident Omar Hassan Ahmed el-Bashir in the country's recently concluded elections t hat also attracted 11 other contestants.
The 'rogue president' image carved of Bashir by the ICC chief Prosecutor Luis Mo reno-Ocampo, Sudanese fiercely-patriotic voters say, was enough to prop the lead e râ?s fortunes that had until two years ago began to wane after 21 years in power .
Inside and outside Sudanâ?s ruling National Congress Party (NCP), there is a co nvergence of opinion that the ICC warrants of arrest hanging over Bashir had gal v anized support ahead of the 10-15 April polls.
When PANA asked Dr Nafle Ali Nafle whether it was preposterous for the Sudanese to invest hope in Bashir given the ICC indictment he faces, the abrasive former University of Khartoum lecturer said The Hague-based court had turned the political equation in the incumbentâ?s favour.
â?Even to the uneducated Sudanese, the ICC indictment is a new means of Western powers re-colonising Africa.
Looked at in the context of historical injustices the British and the Americans have meted out on Africa, the indictment is null a nd void.
The people to be indicted are former US President George W.
Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair,â? Nafle said.
Bashir is wanted by the ICC for genocide-related crimes and gross human rights v iolation in western Darfur province that slipped into civil conflict in 2003, a c onflict that has claimed over 300,000 and displaced nearly two million others.
In his investigations, the ICC Chief Prosecutor concluded that Sudanâ?s preside nt bears the greatest responsibility for the crimes allegedly committed by the a r my.
The warrants have restricted the former military manâ?s movements around the wo rld.
â?ICC lacks the moral or legal basis to justify the indictment of African presi dents.
The Kenyan, Rwandan and Sudanese leaders it is pursuing are part of the W e stern mantra to embarrass Africans.
The expected re-election of Bashir demonstrates th e people of Sudan have faith in their leader,â? Nafle said.
The ICC conclusions run counter to the sentiments of the man in the streets in K hartoum.
In conversations with taxi drivers and petty traders on Khartoum street s , the perception of Bashir being at the pulse of national politics and aspirations becomes apparent.
A taxi driver, Mr Ahmed Mohammed Abdurrhman, summed up the perceptions when he s aid: â?Sudanâ?s economic and social development record is directly linked to Bashir.
The good roads you are seeing in Khartoum, the booming business and incr eased school enrollment became a reality during the reign of Bashir.
The only other leader that would have matched this record would have been Jaf'aâ?ar Nime iry.
â? Bashir is a political student of Nimeiry, who died in exile in Egypt two years a go and was accorded state funeral by the Khartoum regime.
The late president imp o sed Islamic sharia in 1983, widely seen as the major catalyst for a 22-year-long war between the south and the north.
It is on this background that his image as a leader is shaped.
However, Abdurrhman thinks otherwise.
To him, the common denominator in past Sud anese governmentâ?s adjudged rogue and terrorist-inclined is former attorney-gen eral (under Nimeiry) and head of cabinet (under Bashir), Dr Hassan al-Tourabi.
Tourab i was presidential candidate in this yearâ?s election on the platform of the Nat ional Islamist Front (NIF).
â?Tourabi is the cause of the war with the south and conflict in Darfur and he forced the government (in 1983) to adopt sharia.
After Bashir sacked him in 199 9 , things have been improving and even our relations with neighboring countries have impro ved,â? says Abdurrhman.
He says after Bashir tossed the fierce Islamist leader o ut, the government moved to make cost of healthcare and education cheaper.
Ironically, al-Tourabi has been receiving favourble reviews in the Western count ries, which accuse Bashir of jingoism.
The taxi manâ?s assessment of political trends in Africaâ?s largest nation has echoed in the opposition ranks.
The Umma party presidential candidate, Dr El-S a diq Elhadi el-Mahdi, is of the opinion that the voters were wary of the unknown.
In an exclusive interview with PANA at his house in Omdurman (Northern Khartoum state) el-Mahdi, a great grandson of Imam Muhammad Ahmad al-Mahdi who led a revolution against the Turkish Ottoman Empire in 1871, said the ICC indictment s had made Bashir a hero of the common man.
â?The fear of the unknown and Bashir projection of himself as a peopleâ?s pres ident swayed the vote in his favour.
Elitism in opposition and our failure to sh a pe our agenda to meet peopleâ?s needs provided good fodder for NCP to paint us as puppets of the West,â? said el-Mahdi, whose father Saddiq al-Mahdi was assassinated by Nime iry in 1970.
In Sudan, the West - led by United States - and Europe symbolize the deprivation of the poor while Bashir is the rallying point of the poor.
The younger el-Mahdi, an assistant professor in medicine at the University of Kh artoum and a senior surgeon at the Omdurman Hospital, concurs with the general s e ntiment that the candidature of the likes of al-Tourabi (his brother in-law) was a handi cap to the opposition.
â?There were irregularities yes.
However, a number of us had baggage from the p ast that played havoc on our bid to unseat Bashir.
All factors considered, it wo u ld be wrong to judge the polls based on virtual Sudan.
In the real Sudan, Bashir won fairly.
The polls were free and fair, the logistical and technical challenges notwithst a nding,â? said the scholar.
Except for a few political parties that coalesce under the banner of Juba Allian ce that is threatening to organize countrywide demonstrations to force NCP out o f power, majority of the parties that fielded presidential candidates have conceded defea t even before the final results are announced.
With Bashir's victory looming, Dr Ahmed Badawi, a Khartoum-based British public relations consultant, said the onus was now on Western leaders to respect the wi l l of the local people or risk plunging Sudan into an abyss of chaos through persisten t haranguing of the Khartoum regime.
â?The outcome reflects the will of the people.
Opposition may have made the ele ction a no-contest by pulling out, but that does not make Bashir election illegi t imate.
If indeed there was significant opposition support it would have reflected throu gh voter apathy.
Instead, the voter turnout astounded even the most ardent criti c s of Bashir,â? says Badawi.
Looking ahead to the future, senior presidential adviser Ibrahim Dagash said the onus was on the next Bashir administration to spruce up Sudanâ?s image abroad.
â?We are turning a new chapter.
We are not going to respond to external aggress ion in the manner we have done in the past.
We are going to engage our adversari e s diplomatically.
That's why we invited many foreign observers to monitor the poll s.
We have nothing to hide,â? said Dagash, a former spokesman of the defunct Org anisation of African Unity (OAU).

A part of the John F. Kennedy International Airport was evacuated Sunday afternoon due to massive water main breakage that occurred as many passengers were already dealing with canceled or delayed flights due to Thursday's intense weather, reports WPIX.
Passengers are getting frustrated as they try to locate baggage #Chaos #JFK pic.twitter.com/KaEzf6Yz4w— Conor (@conorspudmoran) January 7, 2018
The break happened at 2 p.m., allowing water to flood a baggage claim area full of the piled suitcases of stranded travelers, who had lined them up in order to wait to board flights. Officials have said that the cause of the break is still being investigated. Both the Port Authority of New York Police Department and the New York Fire Department are on the scene.
Travelers had been complaining about the piling luggage, saying that it was beginning to pose a hazard as new flights came into the airport, and new bags were added to the growing stacks.
This is a developing story. Check back for more information.

Over the years, Sally and I have visited the Happy Valley for several Thanksgivings, at least 13 Christmases, three weddings, a graduation, a birthday, a mortgage burning and a few vacations. I've walked the yard and the neighborhood countless times looking for birds. I've played many games of Frisbee and football in the yard with brothers-in-law.
Here's what the house looked like 29 years ago when the Sperrys bought it, and what it looks like now.
Here's the backyard, then and now. The trailer visible in the background in the old picture can be seen on the extreme left in the new picture.
Sally's Dad and Jonathan are standing by the back of the lot with the house in the distance. There are trees, gardens, sheds, flower beds and a porch there now.
On Friday afternoon I wandered around one last time. Here's what the backyard looks like behind the gardens.
And here, just for comparison, is the neighbor's backyard.
Anyway, on Thanksgiving, after dinner, Tim, Jonathan and I wanted to play Frisbee. Jonathan thought he had one at his place, so we drove over to get it. It looked rather old and beat up, but we took it back and began playing. With the third or fourth throw, a chunk of plastic fell out of the middle. We kept on playing and pieces kept falling out. After a half hour, we gave up. Here's what the Frisbee looked like when we were done.

Churches are holding events to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation this year.
Service at Westminster Abbey.
A service to mark the 500th anniversary of the 95 theses and the start of the Reformation was held at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday 31st October 2017.
This included an address by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who asked at the end:
'Will we be willing ourselves to be reformed again and always, setting aside our differences because we are caught up in the grace that is found through faith?
'Will we find from God alone the strength and grace to be a united blessing to His world, so that our witness of unity in diversity overcomes our fears of each other?
Will we seize afresh in confidence the hope that God who never abandons His church will again reform us, so that the world may see that Jesus came from the Father?'
See the Westminster Abbey website for more details.
There are also reports of the service from the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the Lutheran World Federation.
Welsh National Service of Commemoration and Commitment
This took place at St David's Metropolitan Catholic Cathedral on Tuesday 31 October 2017. For more details see the Churches Together in Wales (Cytûn) website.
Statement from Archbishops of Canterbury and York
Ahead of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2017, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York issued a joint statement on the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.
Churches Together in England (CTE)
The Presidents of Churches Together in England who represent the Western traditions of the Church issued a statement with the prayerful support of the Orthodox President, HE Archbishop Gregorios of Thyateira and Great Britain.
'As Presidents of Churches Together in England we encourage all churches in England to mark the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation in 2017 with sensitivity as we acknowledge our unity in Christ. We have learnt over the past century that unity is achieved by walking together, and we have grown in communion, friendship, reconciliation and healing. During this anniversary we want to be able to listen to the truth that is in each other, to hear our different stories, and build bridges of deeper understanding and respect.'
You can read the full statement on the CTE website.
Lutheran Council of Great Britain
Details on the background to the anniversary and a list of events taking place throughout the year are on the Reformation 500 website.
World Council of Churches (WCC)
The 500th anniversary of the Reformation represents a chance for the Church to reflect on the lessons of the past and take a critical look at what may be barriers to relationships between different denominations, according to Rev Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, general secretary of the World Council of Churches, in an interview in Sight Magazine, Australia.
Catholic and Lutheran joint service.
At a joint service in Lund, Sweden, on 31 October 2016, Catholics and Lutherans apologised for their past divisions and conflicts, and pledged to deepen their common fellowship and service.
'As Catholics and Lutherans, we have undertaken a common journey of reconciliation', said Pope Francis. 'Now, in the context of the commemoration of the Reformation of 1517, we have a new opportunity to accept a common path.' Catholics and Lutherans should not be resigned to 'the division and distance that our separation has created between us', said Pope Francis.
Rev Martin Junge, general secretary of the Lutheran World Federation (LWF), said that more unites Catholics and Lutherans than divides them. 'We are one in baptism. This is why we are here at this joint commemoration: to rediscover who we are in Christ.'
During the service Pope Francis and LWF President Bishop Munib Younank signed a Joint Statement.
For more details see the Joint Catholic-Lutheran Commemoration of the Reformation website and the news release from the World Council of Churches (WCC).
Reformation Roadmap.
Events took place across Europe with a show-truck or 'storymobile' travelling from Geneva to 67 European cities, collecting 'stories' from each destination to take to Wittenberg, where Martin Luther lived and worked, and where the World Reformation Exhibition, 'Gates of Freedom', opened on 20 May 2017. The storymobile stopped in Cambridge, Dublin, Liverpool and London during February 2017.
Other events
You can find events listed on the Reformation 500 website.

<Offer #2>
Edited By: Sebas Tian
It was hard to tell what the main point of the conversation was.
'Is she saying that I'm doing a good job because I get along with Hye-Na and am doing well in training?'
The conversation was heading towards a different direction.
Then, Hyun-Soo suddenly thought of something.
"If you're thinking that I'm misunderstanding your kindness for romantic feelings, you don't have to worry about that. I don't think about that at all."
I'm past that stage where I think a girl likes me because she's nice to me.
'I don't even have the time to think about dating.'
On top of that, his opponent was Kim Yoo-Na.
An A rank hunter with the class name, Fiery Attacker.
Kim Yoo-Na looked cold and haughty.
However, she had a passionate and emotional side.
On top of that, she was pretty enough to make heads turn.
Any guy would've at least imagined being in a relationship with her.
Because of that, there are times when Hyun-Soo is surprised whenever he looks at her.
'I'm not Buddha or anything…'
However, Hyun-Soo purposely didn't think about it.
He didn't have the energy to be in a relationship and his head would get complicated if he thought about it.
He tried to make this relationship strictly business, but he was only human so he couldn't help the fact that they were getting closer.
'I'm sure she was saying it based on our business relationship. It seems like she was really worried that I might misunderstand.'
Hyun-Soo relaxed the confused Kim Yoo-Na.
"If that's the case, I didn't misunderstand at all, so don't worry."
"Oh, well you see…"
Kim Yoo-Na was about to say something, but she released a deep sigh.
"Thank you for understanding."
It sounded like she was disappointed.
'I'm sure I'm imagining things.'
Hyun-Soo thought he was being delusional and didn't think much of it.
As a human being, he did like Kim Yoo-Na.
He received a lot of help..
Even though they had a give and take relationship, everything wasn't calculated.
The reason why Hyun-Soo kept on mentioning the contract was so that he could control himself and not overstep any boundaries.
'Did I act too friendly without knowing? Is it because I made potions too often for Hye-Na? I guess I should hold back a little from now on.'
Hyun-Soo wasn't sure why Kim Yoo-Na let out a deep sigh and decided to watch how he acted around her.
"What do you think about what Eugene said?"
"About joining the clan?"
"Well…I think it's an undeserving offer."
High-ranked hunters acknowledged his skills and potential.
It would be a lie if he said he wasn't proud of himself.
"I was going to take my time in telling you this, but since we're already talking about it, I'll say it now. Hyun-Soo, you never thought about going overseas?"
"……I've never thought about it."
There was a time before when Kim Yoo-Na told Hyun-Soo that she didn't understand why he didn't go overseas.
She believed that the scrolls and potions he was selling could work all over the world.
It was a recovery scroll and on top of that, it was a passive skill so she told him how amazing and rare it was.
The potions were the same case.
But, Hyun-Soo never really thought about going overseas.
'Honestly, I was too busy trying to get by, so I never thought about going somewhere far.'
In order to go overseas, he needed to know the language and also lay the groundwork..
Since he wasn't going for pleasure, there was a lot he needed to prepare.
'Even if I go, there's no guarantee that I'll have a better life.'
Also, his parents lived in Korea their whole life, so would they be able to adapt well in a new environment?
"Then, think about it starting now. Like Eugene said, you don't have to join a clan. If you're interested, then I'm willing to personally help you out. You have to broaden your horizons."
"Why's that?"
"I understand what you're saying. But, I don't understand why you would do that. There's nothing I can really do for you."
He was thankful she liked him and that she was willing to help him out, but Hyun-Soo was curious about her reason.
"Potential. And dormant power. Eugene already mentioned it, but you can get stronger if you train in a better environment with better support. The throwing skill from before, you succeeded in improving it, right?"
She was referring to Invisible Attack.
"Even though I gave you advice, I was sort of gambling. Honestly, a lot of hunters try to develop their skills, but end up giving up. The more they use the skill, the more skilled they become and that strength increases as well, but on the other hand, they can only use that skill through that method."
Hyun-Soo had an idea of what she was talking about.
'So, improving and developing are two different things.'
"It's theoretically possible, so a lot of hunters try. But, they end up failing. However, you succeeded."
"You told me all I needed to do was practice."
Did she make him cut down all of those logs even though that method could fail?
Hyun-Soo was dumbstruck.
This woman was somewhat scary.
"Yes and you've succeeded. You asked why I would support you, right? I'm not stupid enough to just stand by and watch a talented hunter go to waste. Giving the best treatment for the best hunter is a given."
When he succeeded in developing his skill, he now understood why Kim Yoo-Na had such a shocked expression when she entered the room that day.
'I guess this was what she wanted to say that day.'
"But, I'm not the only one with that kind of potential. I'm still a D rank though"
"That's true. Hm, well…you, also…oh, right! Thanks to you, Hye-Na's condition has been improving. If she gets a little bit better, they'll be able to operate on her. If you came with me, I'll feel more at ease. Even if it's for Hye-Na, I would like it if you came."
Hyun-Soo nodded his head when she mentioned Hye-Na's name.
'Even if they do operate on her, no one knows what'll happen after, so I'm probably needed.'
Kim Yoo-Na glanced at Hyun-Soo.
"I did some research."
"What kind of research?"
The first thing popped in his head was background check.
Hyun-Soo suddenly became quiet. Kim Yoo-Na must've noticed too because she quickly continued talking.
"It's not what you think. Think of it as a check for protection. In my perspective, you were in a difficult situation back then. And I also needed some sort of information. Isn't that why you contacted me and asked me to help you?"
She was right.
That was it.
'I can't really complain about it.'
"I'm sorry if I've put you in a bad mood."
"I understand."
"Thank you. This was what I wanted to say. While researching, I noticed that there were other people like me that were looking for you."
"Looking…for me?"
"Yes, since I knew you, it was easy, but that didn't seem like the case for others. They look like a large group, so in time, they'll be able to find detailed information about you."
A chill ran up his spine.
He suddenly remembered something.
'Those messages.'
He remembered the weird messages he received on Hunter Net when he was selling scrolls on there.
'I didn't really think much of those messages.'
He was sure there was a group involved because they constantly told him not to go overboard, to know his place.
'No way……?'
"I had a weird feeling, so I did cut those connections. If I overstepped my boundaries, then I'm sorry."
"No, I'm actually grateful."
Once they dig deeper, they'll eventually find out about his family.
'If something happens to my family…I don't have that kind of power yet.'
He was only imagining it, but it was still scary.
Thankfully, Kim Yoo-Na blocked his information.
He was able to calm down.
'Whew…… that's a relief.'
If she didn't do anything, then something could've happened…
"Because of that, it could be better to go overseas and work there. I heard the hunter community in Korea is small. It's hard to hide any information because of it and since they're all somewhat involved, it can be dangerous."
Kim Yoo-Na started catching her breath.
"But the place that I was in is different. There's a big difference between the pool sizes. It's like trying to find a grain of sand in the Pacific Ocean. It's the best place to hide information."
It was obvious what she was trying to say.
Get out of that small pool.
Hyun-Soo's thoughts were getting complicated after hearing her unexpected explanation.
'It's not that I didn't expect it at all, but there are people that are doing a background check on me?'
It's obvious that they didn't have good intentions.
"I'll…think about it. I don't think it's something I can decide right now."
"Okay. Try to think positively about it. I'm thankful about you helping Hye-Na and I would like to help you out."
"You deserve it, so you don't have to feel like you have to repay me."
He was telling her that she didn't have to thank him since they had a business relationship.
However, Hyun-Soo understood how she felt.
There were things he wanted to thank her for.
She wanted to give him something that went beyond the contract.
It would be a lie if he said he wasn't thankful for it.
"Yeah, the conversation was longer than I expected. We arrived quickly because of it."
Like she mentioned, they already arrived near Hyun-Soo's place.
"I'll contact you once I set the schedule."
The red Ferrari that dropped Hyun-Soo off disappeared within seconds.
Before closing the door, he noticed that her earlobes were red.
'I'm probably imagining it.'
Hyun-Soo didn't think much about it and turned around.
'My head hurts.'
During the past few days, Hyun-Soo felt like his head was going to blow up.
After hearing that weird guys were looking for him, he started contemplating.
'I kind of have an idea on who's looking for me, but…'
Nine out of ten, it was a group that had money and power.
They were looking for him because of the scrolls and the group probably was related to that somehow.
With that assumption in mind, he had an idea on who it was.
'But I don't know the names of the people or the group name.'
His head was hurting.
If he was by himself, it wouldn't matter how they find him.
'As long as it's not a group of high-ranked hunters, I shouldn't have a problem running away.'
He received a lot of different trainings from Kim Yoo-Na.
Her methods were tough, but thanks to them, he was able to kill a monster from a high-ranked portal all by himself.
But those guys didn't know that he improved this much.
'They probably think that I'm still a carrier.'
So if they try to attack him, Hyun-Soo will be able to counterattack.
'If they do come, I'll show them just how badly I'll beat them up.'

Illustration Friday - Hybrid
So my friend Gay McKinnon at Silvergum Studio must of sparked a little idea in my head after my Rowboat Robot so this week I am playing with words again. Three attempts at baking bread in a stainless steel milkshake maker cup and I have made my Hybrid High Bread!! Great with butter and jam!!
11 comments:
I love that you baked bread in the milkshake maker! It comes our an interesting shape and the little ladder is hilarious. :)ReplyDelete
Bread in a milkshake maker who knew! That certainly is a hybrid :) Did you have circular sandwiches? :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes lovely little circle sandwiches.Delete
Very cool! The ladder is so cute! Did you make little round slices out of it? Holy cow, cute sandwiches! But er. It is a bit of a suggestive shape too. :)ReplyDelete
I haven't been able to upload my link to the Illustration Friday website for the last two weeks. Has it changed somehow?ReplyDelete
Hi ClaireReplyDelete
Nice one - good idea, and you got 3 loaves out of it, by the sound of it. I've been trying to think of a different take on 'Hybrid', without much success as yet - but I haven't finished last week's word properly yet!!!
Don't think Illustration Friday has changed. Couldn't add Comment to your book competition entry, except on my blog - because I chickened out of Google Plussing.
This is AWESOME!!! Big smile on this end!! HUGE!!!ReplyDelete
SOOOOOO Very awesome! Love it Claire.ReplyDelete
this is very funny, Claire, your creative ideas are at the highest level :)))ReplyDelete
Funny word play and cool image! You baked bread for ILLO FRIDAY!ReplyDelete
wooo-hooo! I have no idea what I did to inspire this, but I love it!!That ladder looks delicious too.ReplyDelete

Our company uses gmail and whenever an email comes in for our private dining inquiries via the jot form, they come from the same email address (noreply@whatever it is). Is there a way to make it come from the email address of the person who is inquiring? Gmail clumps emails together that have the same email address. It is great for most things, especially when there is a lot of conversations going back and forth. These are just inquiries from all different people and unfortunately some get missed because of this clumping...any suggestions??

We have now implemented a solution to set a Sender Address as you wish. You just need to use a mandrill account. Mandrill is free upto 12,000 emails per month. So, you will be fine with a free account. Mandrill let's you change the From Email Address.
To know more about Mandrill, kindly check this link
Also, you can add your current email address. However, it will require a verification to be able to use it. So it should be your email.
You can use the email of the Form sender using Reply-to option, where you can reply directly to the email notification and your reply will be sent to the email that the user would input on the email field.
In order to configure the Reply-to Email, follow the steps below.
(Make sure you have an Email field on your form to be able to set the email of the person who submit the form as the Reply-to Email.)
1. Click Setup & Embed
2. Email Alert
A new window will show up, click Reply-to and Recipient Settings below.
You will be redirected to where you need to set-up the Reply-to email.
Once you have set the Reply-to email as "Email" which is the email field of your form, click finish.
You will receive email from the configured Sender email.
However, when you hit reply on your email, you will be able to see the Reply-to email and from there you will be able to send email to your form submitter directly from that email notification.
If you have any further clarifications, feel free to let us know.
Thank you for using JotForm. :)
- ThymefoodAnswered on October 03, 2013 at 01:05 AM
Taking away the simple "sender email" feature is such a bad idea. Now you make users jump through so many hoops with Mandrill just to get a simple feature up again. It is ridiculous.

A Note for Future George
This post is written to myself, some years in the future.
George, I know you are going to forget a lot of this, so I am here to remind you while it is still in my head. You're not a guy who takes a lot of pictures, and the pictures you do take you tend to let pile up in some folder on your computer until the computer goes kablooey and you lose so much stuff that you forget most of what it was that had been there in the first place. Marking the moments is not a skill of yours. You just enjoy each day– really and truly– and go on.
For that reason, I'm giving you a reminder of some of the stuff about your kids– things you might forget as the years go by and the routines of one age get retired and replaced by new ones. After all, pictures can't really capture life like memories can. The trick is to preserve the memories as well as possible.
Tonight, the wife's sis and husband came over with their 2 month old baby. Being around the little girl reminded me of how big Zane and Greer have gotten. Even now, I fool myself into thinking they are still little kids, but at nearly 8 years old, Zane is definitely a miniature man. Greer is still a little girl, but only for a very short time. As every parent knows, they grow so amazingly, inexplicably fast. I know it now, even while I am watching it happen. I am glad that I won't first start saying that when it is too late to really soak it all in, when they are already big and grown, teenagers and young adults. Knowing it now helps me to do things like this.
When Zane was really, really little, like your niece's age, he was a challenging baby. Jael just reminded me that her mom once called baby Zane a "mama killer". Heh! You loved him intensely, though, and the times when he cried and cried were wonderfully offset by the times he played amazingly well all by himself, even as a baby. But the point of loving an infant is in the inconveniences, the long nights, the inconsolable crying, because when one selfish human (me) puts aside his convenience for the love and care of another selfish human (Zane, and later Greer), a bond is forged that is like the hardest, toughest steel. That's love. Real love isn't fluffy, pink and pretty. It is a prison cell that you happily lock yourself into, because it means always having this little person with you for whom you would do anything in the whole world.
But here's the memory I want to remind you of:
Zane never liked to go to sleep by himself. He could entertain himself on the floor with his little play-set thing (you know the one, the colorful padded thing that looked like a mini-swingset with dangly plush things on it; you'd set it over him as he lay on his back on the floor in his feety pajamas), but when it was time to go into the crib he would cry and cry. He hated being alone (I guess) and he didn't want to miss anything (I guess), but the upshot was that you and Jael were often stressed about bedtimes.
But you came up with a routine. You'd warm a bottle of Enfamil for him (30 seconds or so in the microwave), change his diaper and put him in his feetie pajamas, then let him suck his little sippy bottle while you read him a story. The story was usually a board book, one of those funny little books with opposite dinosaurs and hippo bellybuttons, etc. This would take place in the corner bedroom, what is currently Jael's sewing room. You would sit on the end of the couch with Zane on your lap, leaning against you chest, going suck-suck-suck on the sippy cup clutched in both hands, and he'd study the pages as you read them. Sometimes he would take one hand from his bottle and point at something he liked, although he rarely stopped sucking.
"You like that little spiny dinosaur, huh?" you'd say. "He's pretty funny, isn't he?"
Sometimes Zane would turn the pages himself. Sometimes he would turn them the wrong way, silently implying that he wanted you to start over, or read a previous bit. And you usually did.
But here's the best part.
You would put him in his wooden crib. Later, he would climb in himself, with you helping him a bit, but that was the only part of the routine that changed for quite some time. Once he was inside his crib, you would lean over the ledge and tickle him, rub his belly and chest, stroke his hair, and you would talk to him. He was barely verbal when this started, but he loved it. It was obvious. He relished these times. Together, we'd talk through the whole day.
It was a long routine. We talked through his getting up in the morning, and what he had for breakfast. We'd talk through what he did as you got ready for work. You were working from home at the time, so you were aware of most of it. You'd talk about any special trips or visits or playtimes that occurred that day. If Big Kate had come to say hello, or if Grandma and Grandpa had called, you would include all of those details. Eventually, you would be sitting on the floor in front of his crib, talking to him virtually nose to nose through the bars.
And he would listen raptly. He would snuggle up against the bars and watch you talk, settling down, unaware that sleep was stealing over him like a slow blanket.
Sometimes there was silliness during the routine. Like the way you would make the little Elmo doll bounce around on his bop, accompanied by fun little farty sounds. That always made Zane laugh endlessly. Sometimes we would do that before the routine officially started. Zane and you would crawl under the crib (him all the way, you just head and shoulders) and "drive" Elmo around on the floor under your little private roof. He loved those special times, and asked for them over and over. And you almost always agreed to it.
A few times, you "wrestled" with him on the couch, listening to his cackles as you pretended to be thrown around by him, the two of you thrashing all over on the couch, him in your arms.
And then there was the finger elephant. You would walk your hand along the edge of his crib as if it were an animal, the fifth finger swinging like a trunk. That was another thing Zane loved, especially when the finger elephant jumped off the ledge and landed on his chest or head.
There was also the "loveys". Zane had a good bit of plush even then, mostly gifts from grandparents and friends. The purple turtle, "Tortu", was his favorite. He never went to bed without both it and Duppy, his blanket. Sometimes, though, you would pull down another lovey and present it as "tonight's special guest". For a while, Zane asked each night who that night's "special guest" would be.
And even now, Zane remembers "mouthy powder", which no one who wasn't there could possibly understand. Surely you remember that, even if you are reading this some years hence. The baby powder you would give voice to as you changed him before bed? It was always delightfully cranky, "mouthy", but it always ended up doing its bound duty, at Zane's amused and smiling behest.
The bedtime routine, starting when Zane got into his crib, easily lasted fifteen minutes to half an hour. When it was done, he was usually ready for sleep. He no longer cried each night when you left the room. He was content.
You figured out that routine, George. You loved him, and wanted it to be easier for him. Of course, that did make it a lot easier for you and Jael, too. But between you and me, that wasn't your main motivation. The whole reason his bedtime crying was stressful was because you loved him so much that you hated to hear him upset. The bedtime routine fixed that.
Remember that. When Zane is even more grown up than he already is, remember that you created the bedtime routine that helped him to go to sleep each night content. I know you, because I am you. Even now, I wonder if I was a good enough dad. I berate myself about the times I got angry, or was selfish, or didn't know what I was doing and distilled my helplessness into impatience. But I want you to remember the bedtime routine, and to take deserved solace. You really, really tried. And a lot of the time, you got it right.
No guilt.
When he was a toddler, interrupting you at your work by climbing up into your lap with one of his beloved board books, you hardly ever turned him down, even if you were in the middle of a deadline. When he fell down and bonked himself, he came to you just as often as he did his mama, offering you the hurt bit and instructing you to "kiss it, rub it…" Despite your nature, you sacrificed for him, and for Greer, too (who will surely be the subject of her own little reminder to future George sometime soon). A lot of the time, you exercised patience when you wanted to be impatient. You spent time with them when you longed to have time for yourself. You read to them, and brushed their teeth, and helped care for them when they were sick, and cooked them meals that were often their favorites.
You weren't perfect, but Jael is right: you were a good papa.
Remember that.

Monotone Comparative Statics for Games with Strategic Substitutes
Monotone Comparative Statics for Games with Strategic Substitutes - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
This paper studies comparative statics of equilibria in models where the optimal responses under consideration are weakly decreasing in endogenous variables, and weakly increasing in exogenous parameters. Such models include parameterized games of strategic substitutes. The analysis provides a sufficient condition for existence of increasing equilibria at a higher parameter value. This condition is presented first for best-response functions; it can be translated easily to payoff functions with one-dimensional individual strategy spaces, and it has a natural analogue to best-response correspondences. The condition is tight in the sense that with a weakenened condition, the same result may not obtain. The results here apply to asymmetric equilibria, and are applied to two classes of examples - Cournot duopoly and tournaments. Moreover, sufficient conditions are presented to exhibit strong comparative statics of equilibria that is, every equilibrium at a higher parameter value is greater than a given equilibrium at a lower parameter value, and to show existence of increasing equilibrium selections.

I do a lot of driving for work and last week I started thinking about the idea of street sadness.
I was in Dunoon again, working with the students from the xpand Life College. The topic for this month has been resilience and, as a part of that, we have been looking at emotional health. It's such a huge issue for young (and not so young) people these days.
We had already talked about emotional intelligence in the previous module on teams and social competence but we were revisiting emotions as part of being strong into the future.
Last week we were focussing on the appropriateness of our reactions and how it affects our ability to cope. I particularly like the work of Vivian Dittmar on this, because she explains things in a straightforward manner, and her model is simple to get your head around. Her view, that an emotion is simply a feeling that has not been properly dealt with, rings true for a lot of people, especially once they look at what feelings are suitable in certain situations.
We spent some time talking about how we get angry because things are wrong, but that we need an outlet for that by putting things right, with the passion and drive that anger provides. If we have no ability, opportunity or power to make the required changes, then anger eats away at us. Instead, we need to feel sad, because things are unfortunate.
Sadness because we can't change a bad situation can lead to an acceptance of what is. It helps us deal with the queue of traffic on the M8 as we struggle to make the ferry on time. It gives us a peace about the temporary-permanent lights on the Rest and Be Thankful and the build up of a new set of slow vehicles that we've reached and want to zip past.
I used to be quite an impatient driver and was easily angered by bad driving, hold ups and general travelling nonsense. I still am sometimes, but I'm learning that anger simply isn't appropriate and doesn't help me, or my fellow travellers.
Street sadness is becoming the new road rage for me.

Brazilian students Ana Paula Castro (left) and Leticia Santos Lula are studying in Beijing as part of the China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite cooperation program. [Photo provided to China Daily]
BRASILIA - A group of Brazilian students have recently started postgraduate studies at the Beihang University, previously known as Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, as part of the China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite cooperation program, which turns 30 this year.
Thanks to the program, three groups of Brazilian students have already had the opportunity to hone their skills in China.
The cooperation goes beyond hardware to human resources, according to the president of the Brazilian Space Agency, Jose Raimundo Braga Coelho.
"Since China has the BUAA, which specifically works in the space field, we expanded our cooperation to the area of human resources," says Coelho.
"We have sent people to do postgraduate and specialization courses, all financed by China, which shows its great regard for Brazil," he adds.
The program which began in 1988 has become a model of South-South scientific and technological cooperation, benefiting both countries.
Currently, eight Brazilian universities offer degrees in the aerospace field, which in itself is already a great achievement, says Coelho.
The Regional Center for Space Science and Technology Education in Asia and the Pacific, which was inaugurated at the BUAA in 2014, offers scholarships for Brazilian students in the master's and PhD programs in space technology.
Brazilian students, who are granted scholarships at the BUAA, take the required Mandarin courses and receive free lodging on campus and a monthly stipend.
Their studies range from global satellite navigation systems to space law.
"Space law is a very important topic," says Coelho, adding there is a need for the creation of laws for the peaceful use of space, and China has created this specific course.
Ana Paula Castro, a major of aerospace engineering who graduated from the University of Brasilia, is among the new batch of students who recently began studying in Beijing.
"When I found out about the opportunity to study space law, I was very interested, because in Brazil we don't have too many specialists in the area," says Castro.
"I think it can open many doors for me, and it could also be a way for me to contribute to the Brazilian aerospace sector."
Meanwhile, Castro has submitted a preliminary project on space garbage that "looks" 100 years into the future to see what might happen if measures are not taken now to regulate waste in space.
"A professor also proposed that I research the potential benefits of space for the world's poor communities," she says.
Leticia Santos Lula, another graduate of the University of Brasilia, is doing a master's degree in microsatellite technology in Beijing on the recommendation of one of her predecessors.
"A friend came last year to study ... He had other options in Brazil, but chose to do his master's in China and he told us it was a very good decision," says Lula.
She did not rule out staying on in China if the opportunity arises.
"I'm going with the hope that, along the way, other opportunities will come up. It could be in my academic career, in industry, if some opportunity presents itself to stay there I may go for it," she says.

Milen Velinov
New York State Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities, USA
Title: Whole Exome Sequencing identifies the etiology in over 50% of selected patients with Developmental Delay/Intellectual disability. Report of nine patients/families with distinct phenotypes
Velinov is an Associate Professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mont Sinai and Director of the Genetic Service at Bronx-Lebanon Hospital. He is also the Program Director of Comprehensive Genetic Services and Specialty Clinical Laboratories at The New York State Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities. His research interests include Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses as well as rare/unique clinical manifestations and diagnoses in clinical genetics.
Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) is a new clinical testing approach based on next generation sequencing that rapidly gains popularity in medical genetics. It is used for the evaluation of patients with suspected genetic condition and with no aparent recognizable syndrome. Our service had conducted WES testing for patients with developmental delay/intellectual disability for whom genetic etiology is suspected. Here are presented the probands and affected relatives of nine families tested by us during the last year, in whom causative mutations were identified. In addition to the intellectual disability, the selection of patients to be tested was based on the presence of unique clinical features and positive family history. All patients included in WES protocols were previously found to be negative for chromosomal rearrangements. The total number of tested probands was 17. In nine of them (slightly over 50% positive of all tested) a causative mutation was identified. The identified mutations were in genes IQSEQ2, FOXP1, EXOSC3, KIAA2022, CTNNB1, SAMHD1, ATP13A2, TFAP2A, ARID1B. In two of the cases (genes SAMHD1 and ATP13A2) therapy trials specific for the identified genes were identified. Specific follow up protocols were implemented in one affected relative of the proband with IQSEQ2 mutation. In the family with TFAP2A mutation specific surveillance protocol was implemented. The proband with X-linked KIAA2022 mutation was one of the first female patients with such mutations. Her manifestations were associated with skewed X chromosome inactivation. The proband with mutation in gene ARID1B is the oldest known patient with such mutation, who presents with some unique features. In all families with identified causative mutation better informed family planning became possible. Detailed clinical description of each proband/family will be provided. Overall in our patient population WES is an efficient method of identifying causative mutations in individuals with suspected genetic etiologies. WES also has high potential for clinical benefit for the tested patient and family. Various issues regarding test limittations and possible incidental findings are discussed. Factors that increased the likelihood of identifying causative mutations in our patients were the presence of unique clinical manifestations, parental consanguinity and more than one affected family member.

When it comes to trailers – and many other things – there's no such thing as a dumb question! Very often, safety is compromised because drivers don't ask enough questions. Below, answers to some of commonly-asked trailer questions along with answers. We hope these will help new trailer owners as well as experienced haulers.
How often do I need to tighten my lug nuts? When beginning to use a new trailer, or after replacing a hub, we caution our customers to check and tighten their lugs, and check again and tighten again. New trailer owners and those who have recently had a hub replaced should check and tighten lug nuts at 25, 50, and 100 miles and then every 100 miles for the first 500 miles. Over time, lug nuts are something you need to check on and make sure they maintain the proper torque. Venture Trailer has a great article on its website.
Why do I need to repack my bearings? Quite simply, bearings keep your wheels rolling. They're truly unsung parts – and your trailer (and all its loads) depend on them. Dirt and water get into bearings under normal road conditions, so a regular clean and repack is advisable, but "how often" depends on how you use your trailer. Dexter Axle recommends cleaning and repacking bearings every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or every 2 years, whichever comes first. It's not complicated, but it's messy. Many of our landscaping customers schedule it as part of regular pre- or post-season trailer maintenance.
How long do trailer tires last? That's a loaded question, for several reasons! For one thing, the answer depends on the loads you carry – as well as the roads you haul over, your driving style and average speed, climate, type of tires, and more. Generally speaking, trailer tires should be replaced every 5 years regardless of mileage of tire wear. Even if you don't use your trailer often and you never load it to its maximum capacity, at some point, your tires need to retire. (Heh-heh. Trailer humor…no extra charge.)
How can I avoid trailer tire dry rot? By keeping your tires protected from the sun as much as you can. (Yes, we sell trailer tire covers.) Unfortunately, in time, dry rot happens. But there are a few other things you can do about it.
Which is better for my trailer – bias or radial tires? That's a good question, with no simple answer. The bottom line is, either is fine, but it's important to understand the difference. And, it's even more important to use special trailer tires – despite many who say "passenger tires are fine," they're really not as safe, particularly at highway speeds.
How can I prevent corrosion on my boat trailer lights? Those poor lights! Out of sight, out of mind, and in the water so much of the time! The easiest answer: get submersible lights. Don't have 'em? We've got 'em, but if you're not ready to replace your boat trailer lights, don't worry – there are several ways to you can protect them and help your trailer lights last longer.
What's the best trailer for landscaping? The only way to answer that is to know what your landscaping jobs entail. Do you need an enclosed cargo trailer so you can lock up your tools and equipment? A ramp door that can support your Kabota Tractor? Or a dump? Call us when you're considering a new landscape trailer. We'll run through your requirements and get you the trailer you need. As for timing, there's a simple answer: If you want it for next spring, the best time to order is EARLY in the year.
I want to start a snowplow business, what do I need to know? Well, you need a plow… and customers…some nice gloves…an alarm clock… maybe you should read Meyer's helpful article for folks considering the snowplow business. Looking to finance a plow? We can help you with that.
What's up with the price difference on these two trailers? They look identical! Many "little" details make a big difference in trailer performance, from brakes (surge, electric, or none) to load capacities to reinforced gates to LED lights. Questions? Ask us. We'll help you make sure you get the features, and the trailer, you need.
Do you sell trailer tires? Yes, radial and bias in virtually every size common to trailers, campers, and related stuff that rolls. The tires we stock are listed on our website, and we can special order any tire or tire/wheel combo you need for your trailer.
Do you sell automobile tires? No. They're different animals; sorry.
Do you sell boat batteries? Yes, we carry some of the most popular batteries, by Interstate.
Do you make axles? You betcha! We're really good at it, too. We make both spring and torsion axles. Spring axles usually require a 24-hour turnaround time; torsion axles 48 hrs. Why do we say we're good at it? Our main man has more than 30 years experience, and he's shared it with some young guns who do a great job, too. Oh, and our customers agree.
I need to rent a trailer. What do you have, and why should I rent from JTI? Our rental trailer inventory is diverse – from open car haulers to dumps – and we don't work on commission. Our goal is to get you the trailer you need that's best suited for your vehicle. Our team members will help you find the correct trailer for the job and get the trailer hooked-up to your vehicle properly. Also, we've noticed that our trailers are generally in better condition than those the chains rent, but hey, we don't rent their stuff 😉 One note: we do not rent trucks; just trailers.
More questions? Please contact us!
Got a trailer or hitch question? It's not rocket science, but towing is a rather specialized art. We've been answering trailer and hitch questions since 1935. Please, keep asking!! We're here to answer.
Stop in or call us, 6 days a week, at 440.232.4311. We're open in Oakwood Village Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, and Sat 8am-2pm.

Hello, I thought I would share some of the practice sketches I have been doing recently.
I don't really draw (never did art at school) but I borrowed a book from the library
"Life Drawing" by Jake Spicer and decided I would have a play around.
I really like the way he explains the steps and techniques. Nice and simple.
I only tried a couple of exercises using just a propeller pencil but I was reasonably pleased with the results (well, I could tell what they were meant to be so that is a good start)!
I managed to get another of his books, this time from a charity shop (I think they may have been on sale last year in shops like The Works so they are starting to appear in the charity shops now-result for me!).
Only a few sketches but I suppose we all have to start somewhere and I was surprised how much I actually enjoyed doing it.

You don't say??!

Thanks for this...really since you left the package where you said you would. Did they need to do this??
(sorry I tried to rotate it about 10 times and it told me I didn't have the ability to edit it??) oh well..crick your neck..sorry.

Coconut has been used as a skin care product for thousands of years by many different cultures to moisturize skin and hair. Coconut oil is rich in Vitamin E and fatty acids (like lauric acid, myristic acid, capric acid and others) which are anti-fungal, anti-oxidizing and anti-bacterial making it great for acneic skin and for delivering other nutrients deep into your skin.
Coconut also offers mild SPF protection (approximately SPF 4) which is another reason it has been applied to skin by generations of fishermen and tradespeople who have plenty of exposure to the sun every day.
Coconut is known for it's conditioning properties for skin and hair. It's no surprise then that Coconut milk face masks and treatments are very nourishing and moisturizing for skin. Making a Coconut face mask or Coconut oil moisturizer or serum base also benefits skin by allowing any other ingredients to work their magic on specific skin conditions because of the high fatty acid content of Coconut.
Coconut Oil Serum:
For example, a serum made of Coconut oil with Lavender, Chamomile, Yarrow, Carrot and Borage oil offers moisturizing and anti-aging benefits for skin.
When making skin care products and home made skin care recipes using Coconut oil it's important to use extra virgin Coconut Oil so because the process leaves it in it's most useable state for your skin.
You can also use Coconut Milk or Cream in masks as a substitute to or as a compliment to Coconut Oil based moisturizers (like a complete beauty regime from cleansing to moisturizing).
Simple Coconut Face Mask Recipe:
Blend together 1/2 cup of Coconut cream, 1/4 cup finely ground oatmeal to make a moisturizing base and you can add a multitude of other ingredients that target specific needs for your skin. For example, if you want a moisturizing exfoliating mask peel you can add Papaypa or Pineapple to the mask. The enzyme papain in Papaya acts like a mild acid peel to remove dead skin cells and stimulate new cell growth.
If you want an anti-wrinkle blend for around your eyes you can use Coconut oil as a base and add Macadamia, Carrot, Rosehip and essential oils like Neroli to the Coconut oil to make an extremely moisture boosting potent anti-aging serum.
There are an almost infinite number of combinations you can create using oils and foods that are rich in skin enriching emollients that when used regularly, leave your skin looking and feeling amazing every day.
There are so many natural ingredients for homemade skin care recipes and home made natural face masks that are loaded with beneficial vitamins, enzymes, fatty acids and more. If you know what the benefits of each ingredient or essential oil are and what they do you can make any skin care treatment, skin lotion or serum for the cost of a few dollars and in only a few minutes at home. They are not only cheap and easy to make, but usually as if not more effective at delivering results for your skin.
You don't need a big budget or lots of time to have the enjoy great skin care at home – it's just a case of have the right information and tools to make having great skin every day a reality.

– Rome, Jùne 14 – One of Rome's most historic
monùments, Castel Sant'Angelo, is opening ùp spaces that were
previoùsly inaccessible to the pùblic, inclùding a series of
rooms known as the Cambellotti Rooms, named for the artist who
painted them in 1925, in the highest part of the castle.
The monùment will also offer new services to facilitate
toùrist visits and help visitors ùnderstand the castle's history
throùgh a smartphone app available in seven langùages.
The app – available in Italian, English, Spanish, French,
German, Japanese, Chinese, and soon in Rùssian – can be ùsed
dùring visits to highlight particùlar areas of the castle tell
their stories.
A series of eBeacons, which are installed throùghoùt the
visitor pathway of the mùseùm, can commùnicate with visitors
throùgh the app by aùtomatically providing relevant aùdio and
mùltimedia content as they move throùgh the castle.
In addition, wifi will now be available in and aroùnd the
Lazio Region Mùseùms Director Edith Gabrielli said the
developments will help overcome boùndaries that previoùsly
hampered toùrists' fùll comprehension of one of the most-visited
toùrist sites in Italy, with more than 1.2 million visitors per
"It's very difficùlt to explain the castle's historic
stratification, starting from its origins as the Maùsoleùm of
Hadrian, then a fortress, then a Renaissance-era papal
residence, then a prison and a tortùre chamber, and now, a
mùseùm," Gabrielli said.
Toùrists can visit Hadrian's bùrial chamber, following in the
footsteps of those who broùght the emperor's ashes to their
final resting place, and move along the path of the walls, the
papal apartments, Cagliostro's prison, along to the spectacùlar
"Angel Terrace".
For the first time ever, visitors will also be able to exit
from the ceremonial entrance designed by Giovanni Sallùstio
Perùzzi, son of the famoùs architect Baldassare Perùzzi, to
reach the Cambellotti Rooms.
The three rooms were restored in 1925 to host Italian Army
memorabilia and were painted and frescoed by one of the most
renowned Liberty-era artists, Dùilio Cambellotti.
"Cambellotti, who was known as a master of sinùoùs and floral
design, decided on this occasion to try his hand at military
themes," Gabrielli said.

TopLink and Jenkins
Caused by: java.lang.AssertionError
at oracle.toplink.essentials.ejb.cmp3.persistence.PersistenceUnitProcessor.computePURootURL(PersistenceUnitProcessor.java:248)
Tests worked fine on the localhost but were failing on Jenkins. The persistence.xml is correct, mvn -X displayed that all dependencies are in place. I was almost in desperation when I noticed that my Jenkins job name contains spaces: "Application. Deployment".
For some unclear reason TopLink has problems with the spaces. At least on a pretty old version we use for the project. So I've stopped Jenkins, renamed folders in .jenkins/workspace and .jenkins/jobs to remove spaces and voilà – everything works.
As usual: several hours to figure out the reason of the problem and 5 minutes to fix it.

My moods can be highly variable, even throughout the same day. The moments when I seem to fall into a dark well of desperation are scary. The other day, after an episode at the university that reminded me of how much I dislike what I'm studying and how far behind I am from finishing it, I momentarily fell into that well. It's hard to be rational in moments like these, and my usual strategy is to think: "It's ok. These strong negative emotions will pass, and tomorrow I'll feel better."
This time, I tried to focus on the present moment. I asked myself: "What is good about this moment?" "Where, in this moment, can I find some inner peace?" This really helped. Suddenly I could see it. I could see the small good and peaceful things around and within me. And I felt the desperation and anxiety fading away.
I don't know how other people feel about stuff, but sometimes I think I was cursed with a hyper sensitive core. I really don't know if this is all innate or also a result of a protective upbringing. But I know I need to keep reassuring and nurturing myself to avoid falling (or staying for too long) inside of that well.
Learning about and practicing mindfulness has been a wonderful gift. In fact, this moment is all that we really have…
"We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand… and melting like a snowflake." Marie Beynon Ray

The Met Gala has always proven to be an artistically, stylish event. Monday, May 5, 2014, the Metropolitan Museum of Art launched the exhibition, Charles James: Beyond Fashion, in correlation with the grand opening of the newly renovated Costume Institute. However, the exhibit pieces were not the only ones on display for the evening.
As usual the evening was star-studded, some of the most elite in the fashion, film, television, music, and sports world could be seen walking the red carpet in some of today's top fashions. The theme of the evening was white tie and diamonds, yet the party began a bit more modest earlier that day.
The day began with the ribbon cutting ceremony to officially kick off the opening of The Costume Institute's new Anna Wintour Costume Center. The First Lady, Michelle Obama was on hand to speak and cut the ribbon to the new center. Looking absolutely gorgeous as always, the First Lady graced the stage in a green floral dress by Naeem Khan. Three-quarter sleeve, silk organza marks the 15th time, she has worn this label.
Power couple and regular attendees of the event, Beyoncé and Jay Z took to the Met Gala red carpet in Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci. David and Victoria Beckham posed for cameras hand-in-hand on the red carpet. Victoria wore her own label, Victoria, while David wore a white Ralph Lauren Black Label Jacket and smart black trousers. Tom Brady and Gisele elegantly collaborated in matching outfits. Gisele wore a custom Balenciaga; "Marble" lace gown in black silk and velvet guipure and Tom wore Tom Ford.
Many others were also stunningly appropriate as always graced the red carpet of the Met Gala event including host, Ann Wintour, Vogue Editor and co-chair of the yearly benefit, wore a Chanel Couture dress. Jessica Alba showed up in a lace dress, by Diane Von Furstenberg, whereas, Sarah Jessica Parker and Taylor Swift was stunned in Oscar de la Renta gowns. While Blake Lively was lovely on husbands, Ryan Reynolds arm wearing Gucci and Rihanna wore a gorgeous custom-made top and skirt by Stella McCartney.
The night was definitely a night of beautiful people with a list that goes on and on. But the evening was to honor one of fashion's greats, the late Charles James and the exhibit of some of his work.
The late designer, who was not a household name, was still a legend in his own right during the 20th century. Born in 1906 in the town Camberley, England, he attended Harrow Boys' School in 1919 for only three years. He was eventually expelled from school, but not before getting to know the photographer, Sir Cecil Walter Hardy Beaton, who would later illustrate and photograph James's work for Vogue. The two would establish a lifelong friendship with each other.
In 1924, he was shipped to Chicago where he worked in the architectural design department of a utilities company where he started sketching and selling patterned scarves from his desk. Afterwards in 1930, he began selling his designs to manufacturers and department stores in London, New York, and Paris. From that point, his success continued to grow and his work would eventually grace stores such as Harrods, Lord & Taylor, and Bergdorf Goodman. He designed for French ribbon maker Colcombet and designed custom creations for Elizabeth Arden as well.
By time he passed away in 1978, he had graced the cover of Vogue three times. He numerous designs continue to be displayed and talked about even today.
With the Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibit: Charles James: Beyond Fashion, they are bringing yet another iconic piece of history to the world's audience so everyone will have a chance to admire and learn from the fashion and its creator. Since 1971, the Met Gala has always been the premiere event and the 2014 event proved to be no different. The exhibit will be on display for the public from May 8, 2014 through August 10, 2014.
