About 70 percent of the earth is covered by bodies of water, and only five percent of that has been explored by scientists. And nearly 70 percent of the protein human beings consume comes from the sea. It would not be a stretch to say marine science curriculums are some of the most important within which a graduate student could study. It's also a fascinating area that beckons students to "dive in."
Studying in the field
Marine science curriculums are extremely broad and can center on the study of the ocean, its ecosystems and its life forms, as well as on the impact of society on marine environments. Students in marine science courses may research issues such as pollution, recreation, aquaculture and ocean dumping.
Marine science graduate curriculums typically focus on a particular branch of the earth sciences and involve such study fields as:
Students working toward a masters or PhD degree in marine science will examine the physiology, biochemistry and ecology of marine plants and animals. Marine science courses require work in the classroom, laboratory and in the field. Students will collect data and use their computer and mathematical skills to process and analyze that data.
Marine science curriculums on the graduate level demand that students develop strong research, critical thinking, problem-solving, analytical and communication skills. They can expect to take marine science courses which cover biogeochemistry, mariculture and environmental monitoring. Other classes may include marine policy, advanced paleontology, hydrodynamics and air-sea interaction.
Because marine science curriculums cover such a broad area of study, students tend to choose a specific concentration. A few of the many marine science concentrations available include:
- Marine Biology
- Marine Chemistry
- Ocean Engineering
- Marine Mammology
- Marine Fishery Biology
- Oceanography
Oceanography focuses on the biological, chemical and physical aspects of the ocean, and is one of the largest and most popular concentrations offered by graduate marine science curriculums. Within an oceanography marine science concentration, students can choose biological, chemical, geological or physical oceanography, as well as ocean engineering or environmental science.
Regardless of the concentration they choose, students wishing to earn a masters or PhD degree in marine science must enjoy being outdoors, as well as have a background in a basic science such as biology, chemistry, geology, physics or applied mathematics. As they explore the interaction between marine environments and the earth, biosphere and atmosphere in their marine science courses, students will engage in hands-on learning.
Students enrolled in a marine science graduate curriculum tend to have a strong commitment to protecting and preserving the earth's bodies of water and the plant and animal life that calls those waters home. They will apply this commitment as they learn to use cutting-edge technologies and research.
Job opportunities in the field
Careers in marine science often bring to mind an image of probing the depths of the ocean in scuba gear, alongside dolphins and other fascinating marine life. However, graduates of marine science curriculums spend most of their time in laboratories and offices rather than swimming among dolphins, whales and sharks.
Marine scientists devote much of their careers to researching and writing scientific literature, grants and proposals. That is not to say that completion of marine science courses will never put you in contact with the ecosystems and creatures in the field. Marine scientists do spend time in the field, and those occasions bring on demanding work that can sometimes last around the clock.
Marine science careers offer as much variety in as they do in marine science concentrations. Those who earn a masters or PhD degree in marine science can become marine biologists, who command average annual salaries of $50,000. Oceanographers can earn an average of $70,000, while an ocean engineer can take home as much as $90,000 annually.
The average annual salary of a marine-policy specialist is around $55,000. Many graduates become professors, who can earn an average of $70,000 per year. Graduates who choose to become research scientists in the field can expect an average annual salary of about $80,000, while a water-purification chemist can command an average salary of $70,000.
Students may decide to focus their marine science careers on fisheries, marine minerals and energy, or shipping and ports. They may also enter marine science careers in maritime security, coastal management and environmental protection. Graduates with a masters or PhD degree in marine science can seek employment by state and local governments, colleges and universities, and in private industries, where they can command the highest salaries.
No matter which career a graduate may choose, marine science graduate curriculums offer a plethora of exciting possibilities. Find the one that works best for you now.

'…It's been a while since we last spoke. And when I say 'spoke', I mean since I sent you a gushing email late one night when I should have been writing a university essay, and you never got back to me. Hey, it's okay. No hard feelings. In retrospect, I would also have been creeped out if some random guy got in touch with me via my website and asked if we could 'hang out'. But you've got to know, I sent that message with the best possible intentions. All I wanted to say then, and now, is: dude, I love your stuff!…'

This is how the article on yahoo.com starts out. Also during a Tom Joyner Interview, Tom asked about the debate, "What happened" and The president responded, "I think it's fair to say I was just too polite." and speaking on the upcoming debates on 10/16 and 10/22 he added, "We're going to take it to him."
Mr President, Sir..With all due respect..Please stop talking so much. You can be sure that Romney is reading your every words and MAY use them against you and even worse you are telling him your game plan for the debate.
Mr Obama is spending way too much time trying to 'Win The Debate", when in actuality, He should focus on and stick with, #1. Being himself, #2. Stick with the issues of the people and #3. Stop admiting to ANY implied defeat or rhetoric about winning and losing the debate...Lets focus on the BIG picture and talk about the issue that will WIN THE 2012 PRESIDENTIAL RACE !!
SOAR OPINION: Mr Romney has provided enough rope to hang himself with his secret slurs and outrageous statements. President Obama must stop responding to EVERY criticism and let it go. Instead of openly talking about being tougher in the next debate, it should simply be implied that you are ready for the upcoming debates and will be prepared!!
Talking about being tough is no comparison to just showing up, kicking butt and moving on quietly.
Please, Mr President....Stop living this campaign as a First responder and run it as the leader that you are! Stand on your record, stand on 'being you". Be yourself, not the image folk wanna see
As you have said, Romney wants the office that you ALREADY possess!
comments anyone??

Hi, I have multi-bit wallet that will not open with the correct password. I installed a fresh instance of multi-bit on a new computer and tried restore using my wallet-words. I was asked to create a new password which I did. The wallet was created fine and had the correct amount of BTC but was grayed out with the password screen. I entered the new password and it "failed to open", tried the original p/w and same.
I have only basic knowledge of computers so need a pretty simple explanation. I tried the forums and most of the Q&A is way over my head.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :)
Hi Martin,
KeepKey stopped supporting Multibit last week, it is possible that you have login issues because of that. Here you can read more. I suggest you follow up with the support team how to resolve your issue, in the post you can also find a link to a walkthrough what to do in case of login issue, maybe you can start with that.
Hi Zsofia, Thanks for your help. I tried creating a new Electrum wallet with my MultiBit wallet words and it worked fine. The BTC transaction history was imported and the coins are there so its all good news
Thanks again :)

Couple: Joseph and Lauren Marra
Wedding Date: October 15, 2016
Location: The Garden on Millbrook, Raleigh, NC
The Wedding Dress: Justin Alexander, style 8779
Photography: Emma Kathryn Photography
More Details: I wanted a very classic and elegant wedding. My main goal was to make sure everyone had fun. I stuck to neutral tones such as blush and champagne. The reception turned out great and we all spent the night dancing away. Our DJ Chance with Complete Services was wonderful! The most special moment was during our ceremony reading the vows we had written ourselves.
I loved my wedding dress. I did not want anything too poufy but felt this was my only chance to wear a big gown. The tulle was tiered but not the typical tier and gave it some depth. I loved the sweetheart neck and train.

Hands Down the Best Photo Website Ever
Today I found one of the best photo printing websites ever! Their prints are super cheap. 4 x 6 prints start at 6 cents, 5 x 7 prints at 12 cents, and 4 wallets are 15 cents. Even 8 x 10s are an amazing 49 cents. But wait, there's more! New customers get credit for 1200 (Yes, you read that right!) FREE prints. That is 600 4 x 6s and 600 5 x 7s. Unbelivable, right? They even give you credits toward purchases if you tell your friends about them on Facebook! They have tons of cool products from photos on canvas, to purses, makeup bags, and netbook covers. So who are they? They are ArtsCow. What are you waiting for? Head on over, and get your free prints!

Q: What does it cost to use a Financial Advisor?
A: In reality, cost is only cost in the absence of value. If one automobile costs more but provides greater value through safety and comfort, the value to you may outweigh the cost. The same might be true of your home, your golf club choices, and your cruise choices in retirement, your investment selection choices or any choice that may offer greater value than the price paid.
Early on in life, I was taught that reading the menu from the right to the left (looking at the cost first) is considered to be a poverty conscious habit. This habit comes into play when people are willing to sacrifice selection, enjoyment or happiness because they decide to limit their choices by thinking that cheaper may always be better. Budgeting may be necessary, but sacrificing for the wrong reasons may not be a wise choice.
We believe that the 'bottom line' for Financial Planning or using a Financial Advisor should not cost you. It should pay you through greater benefits from service, support, guidance, protection or helping to provide the values and results necessary for your ultimate success. If you have not been experiencing this, perhaps it's time to find a competent and qualified Advisor or get a 'second opinion' from one. That is why we are here for you.
Q: Is Retirement and Investment Planning…
with Melton Financial Group Wealth Advisory different?
A: Life is change. Since 1844, when there was speculation that our Patent Office might consider closing for lack of new inventions being offered, our lives have changed from Samuel Morris developing the Telegraph and the Morris Code to Nuclear Fusion, the man on the moon, the cell phone, the iPod, Wii and Xbox, the Internet, electric cars, replacement body parts and life expectancy more than doubling.
Retirement and Investment planning advice may need to change to keep up with the times during your distribution with protection and growth years. New thinking, new strategies, new understanding and new advocacy support may need to be strongly utilized to help insure your retirement lifestyle. Albert Einstein's selection for the Eighth Wonder of the World just might need to be revisited and better understood and practiced to provide greater opportunity for retirees. Do you know what that is?
With over 25 years of personal experience and success helping others to achieve and live to enjoy their retirement objectives, we offer advice and solutions from the trenches that may be the most appropriate for today's retirees.
Q: Why is objectivity important?
A: It's important to work with an advisor who is not tied to any one specific investment product or company. You should want someone who can make objective recommendations based on your specific goals, not their desire to make a sales quota.
Q: Do all of your clients have the same objectives…
or the same financial goals?
A: For most retirees the objectives are similar. Their objective is to find a way to invest properly to help insure that their assets and their income will be there for them for as long as they may need it. They want their lifestyle to continue uninterrupted and not to have to worry about losing their purchasing power to inflation or worrying about losing their money. They are looking for appropriate investments with good growth potential and added value to accommodate their needs. However, not all of our clients have the same financial goals. In fact, no two retirement plans may ever look exactly alike.
The approach we recommend is highly customized for each client based upon what they want out of their retirement. We help to examine the many different risks, portfolio diversification allocations, liquidity needs and possible tax implications before any recommendations are offered or implemented.
Q: What do I need to consider in dealing with my retirement account planning?
A: There are numerous considerations you may need to be aware of with any qualified retirement account. Although mistakes could affect you severely, working with a competent professional and qualified plan specialist may help to alleviate those mistakes. Before a client makes any decisions, we present the pros and the cons for each individual consideration.
Are you looking for tax-free income in retirement? Do you wish to pass more assets on to loved ones or other beneficiaries? Do you wish to keep assets in the family perhaps for generations and pay the least possible in taxes? Do you know how to help protect your retirement accounts from creditors, divorce, bankruptcy, lawsuits, or other problems that may expose you to loss? Could an IRA Trust be right for you? Would it be better to leave your 401-k with the company? Should you leave your IRA to your Living Trust? These are just a few examples of questions that we help our clients to answer and act upon accurately.
As Retirement Specialists we have been helping clients with these and many other concerns. If you care to do any personal research, IRA planning books written by Ed Slott, CPA might help. Remember, we are talking about an IRA specialist in distribution planning. Our training, reputation and experience in distribution planning precedes us. Please give us a call.
Q: What is the cost of a Financial Analysis…
or Retirement or Estate plan?
A: You may have seen or heard advertisements that are designed to make you think or make a point. Try this one on for size.
We believe to work with an experienced Financial Planning Advisor who has the training, years of experience, dedication and commitment to help you personally achieve your retirement and estate planning objectives and lifestyle goals can be…Priceless!
Our objective in working with our clients is to help them achieve their financial success. We believe a disciplined approach with consistent review developed around a sound financial or estate planning analysis is imperative. Therefore, your first analysis with us is done at NO COST. This helps to provide the necessary information for both of us to be able to determine how we might be able to work together. In addition, we offer 50 Weekly Market Commentaries and Periodic Personal Reviews. Client Educational Workshops; Quarterly Economic Summit meetings with Top Money Managers; an encrypted internet vault that will allow you to see all of your accounts from all institutions including copies of your trust or valuable documents; periodic plan analysis updates and more are also available.
Whenever you have questions or your life changes, we are available at any time to our clients by phone and we return all phone calls within 24 hours during our working hours.
Q: Do you get paid by fees or commission?
A: Yes
Again, we are solution driven for our clients and not product driven. The investment solution might best be served for our clients by dealing directly with an investment company, mutual fund company, real estate investment trust company or insurance company, in which case we would be paid by commission. MFG is not tied to any proprietary company.
We do not offer investment management without first implementing a Financial Planning Analysis. We employ a disciplined approach striving for the minimal amount of risk consistent with your financial objectives. We may suggest various products and strategies to accomodate your risk and liquidity needs, of which is dictated by your Financial Planning Analysis. Please note that there is no investment strategy that can predict or project actual performance, ensure a profit, or protect against a loss.
Q:Are my holdings held with Melton Financial Group Wealth Advisory?
A: At Melton Financial Group Wealth Advisory, we do not "hold" our clients' investments. All client holdings are either held directly at investment companies, or at LPL Financial, a brokerage firm we are partnered with. LPL Financial is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). What that means is that if LPL Financial were to fail, then account owners could receive coverage up to $500,000, including cash claims limited to $250,000. Please note that the SIPC coverage does not protect against a decline in the market value of securities, identity theft, or other 3rd party fraud.
Q: When do I really need help…
from a competent Financial Planning Investment Advisor?
A: We feel that there are four 'stages of self recognition' to help understand where we are in life and it applies to business success, career success and even in retirement planning success!
Stage 1) Recognizing that 'you don't know…that you don't know.'
An example would be following the crowd for saving and investing or listening to your neighbor because you think they were successful…and hoping for the best. Remember, Hope is not a strategy.
Stage 2) Recognizing that 'you know…that you don't know.'
When you become aware of the fact that following the crowd for saving and investing or listening to your neighbor because you think they were successful and hoping for the best isn't always what is right for you, and now realize that Hope is not a strategy.
Stage 3) Recognizing that 'you don't know…that you know.'
After doing the research for yourself and coming to sound decisions based on fact, analysis and good judgment…but not taking appropriate action…might be the example for not knowing that you now know.
Stage 4) Recognizing that 'you know…that you know.'
You have come to realize that Choice is important; that making a sound decision brings empowerment to that choice; that taking action on that decision may give you both the freedom and the responsibility to move forward toward personal success; and perhaps realizing that having a knowledgeable advocate to help educate, guide or help advise you in your decisions might prove to be a final key to your success.
A competent Financial Planning Investment Advisor might prove to be valuable to you at any stage in your 'self recognition' financial planning success.
Please call for your 'no cost' Review at 916.772.2477 or 888.772.2487
When you succeed…we succeed.

Also this week, we are reaching a fever-pitch of excitement around here, as my daughter is gearing up to hit the ministry trip trail to Chicago next week. A group of high school kids from our church will be working there with New Life Ministries. Specifically, my daughter will be working with a group of friends in leading some VBS activities.
For my daughter, that means that this week is a week of much anticipatory-type excitement, some random maladies, and little sleep. {All of this has become the standard "week before" around here.} Oh, and did I mention? She's been packed since Sunday. She is totally self-motivated in that area, which is delightful since I hate to pack, and would rather not be responsible for that on any level.
This year, we have the added "excitement" of learning to use an EpiPen before her trip. My girl has some mild food allergies that she's been dealing with for years now. Last time we visited the doctor, we asked him about the possibility of these allergies escalating as she gets older, and after a good discussion, he prescribed an EpiPen - just in case. Interestingly enough, not only does it raise your awareness, but it feels like it increases the possibility that the EpiPen will actually be needed -- which of course, is not true.
What's she allergic to? Oh, fresh apples, peaches, & cherries, raw almonds, pistachios and carrots, and some salad green varieties. She also has a dairy intolerance which we've learned to manage -- mostly by slowing down on things like pizza and ice cream! Luckily she's a pretty smart girl, and watchful about not eating the foods that trigger these allergic reactions -- although, she only just learned about the cherries, so who knows what other issues might await her? Thus the EpiPen. It does provide a certain comfort level.
[The first several paragraphs at THIS SITE describe our girl to a "T" and have given us much insight!]
I'd appreciate your prayers for us as we send her off to Chicago very early on Sunday morning. Thanks friends!

Disco and Moliere! An hilarious 17th century French comedy updated to 1970s New York. Moliere's "The Bourgeois Gentleman" or "The Would-Be Hipster" is about a commoner who has inherited some money, and wishes to use it to become what he is not--a gentleman, or in this version, one 'wild and crazy guy'. M. Jourdain is baffled by his tutors, and hilarity ensues as he tries to learn how to be cool. The show is replete with disco dance and musical interludes, and the requisite star-crossed lovers who must trick M. Jourdain into allowing them to marry.
Watch local favorite, Linda Goetz, play M. Jourdain as a boorish 1970s New Yorker who has suddenly come into money and is trying to impress everyone with his "alternative facts!" A hilarious production by Newton Theatre Company, directed by Melissa Bernstein.

Determination of Sex Discriminant Function Analysis in Chinese Human Skulls
Introduction: Human identity and sex determination are crucial for forensic investigations. The human skull is a useful tool for identities in natural disasters and criminal investigations. Aim: Using stepwise Fisher and logistic regression to build multivariate linear discriminant function to achieve sex determination for Uighur adult skull of Turpan, Xinjiang. Methods: Using CT equipment to acquire and reconstruct 267 (114 males and 153 females) three-dimensional skull models. Sixteen measurement indicators were measured and computed. Stepwise Fisher and logistic regression was performed to build the sex discriminant function and leave-one-out cross validation was used to evaluate accuracy. Results: Average of fifteen measurement indicators of male was bigger than that of female. Only one measurement indicator of male was smaller than female. Except two indicators (X7 and X13), the other existed significant difference (\( p \) < 0.01). According to sex discriminant function consisting of four indicators (X1, X4, X10, X11), using stepwise Fisher method, the accuracy of male was 86.8% and female was 86.2%. According to sex discriminant function consisting of five indicators (X4, X6, X12, X15, X16), using Logistic method, the accuracy of male was 89.4% and female was 90.2%. According to sex discriminant function consisting of incomplete skull with only frontal and mandibular, using stepwise Fisher method, the accuracy of male was 67.9% and female was 69.1%. Using Logistic method, the accuracy of male was 68.7% and female was 70.4%. Conclusion: By combining computer software with machine learning classification algorithm, the sex discrimination of complete skull and incomplete skull can be realized. In the gender identification of the Uygur population, the Logistic regression method is better than the stepwise Fisher method.

North America –
The regions surrounding California, along the coast and the mountain ranges (Yosemite National Park and Death Valley) running 'parallel' with the coast, inland, have been experiencing M1's, M2's in various places. M1's and the odd M2 will continue to pop up along these regions. All of this must be rather unnerving for those living in the California areas.
If you imagine an 'L' shape, from Washington/Montana, down to Utah/Arizona – then east across and including states such as Colorado, Kansas/Oklahoma, Missouri/Arkansas, Kentucky/Tennessee/Mississippi through to Virginia – there seems to be occurrences of M1's, M2's and the occasional M3. This pattern will probably continue – with the M's popping up in these states sporadically.
I still have a mild feeling about Florida, maybe partially towards Cuba.
Heading into Mexico/Gulf of California, there may be more M2+'s in this region.
Between Guadalajara and Mexico City, there may be an m3+.
Between Guatemala and Costa Rica, there may be an M3+.
Dominican Republic/Puerto Rico region may feel an M3+.
South America –
Antofagasta and Santiago (Chile) (and well south of), Peru/Ecuador, western Bolivia – may experience M2+'s and/or M3++'s.
I'm getting a renewed feeling for Colombia for an M3++.
Pacific islands –
The Solomon's, Bismarck Sea region (PNG), Vanuatu, Mariana/Guam, Fiji and Tonga may experience more M3+'s.
New Zealand –
South Island – perhaps an M3 in both the north and south of the island. There could be a mild possibility of an M3+ south of the South Island, at sea.
North Island – may again experience an M3+ NE of the island; maybe also east of Wellington. South of Auckland, inland, may feel an M3, but this is not a strong feeling at the moment.
Australia –
Canberra; south east of NSW (off coast); SE Victoria; Bass Strait; south of Adelaide (at sea) and North West of Western Australia (well south of Denpasar (Bali) are sticking a bit with me for potential M2's and an M3+ (for NW of WA).
Indonesia –
The south/west side of Sumatra may again experience an M3++.
The Java Sea region may see an M3+.
The Cocos Islands region may be a surprise M3+??
Salawesi and the Banda Sea (including the Moluccas islands) regions may experience M3+'s.
The Celebes Sea is drawing me to it just slightly for an M3+.
Philippines –
East may experience an M3+
Taiwan –
May experience an m3+ and maybe north east of Taiwan, near Naha Island.
Japan –
Maybe east of Tokyo, an M3+? And north/east of northern Japan.
Kuril Islands, towards the lower tip of Kamchatka Peninsula (Russia), may experience an M4+
Alaska and the Aleutian islands –
Alaska, mainland, will continue to rumble with M1's, M2's and the odd M3. M1+'s may continue to track inland (northish). Central Alaska may feel another M2++.
The northern region of the Gulf of Alaska may experience an m3+.
Russia –
Western Russia and central south may experience an M3'ish.
Kamchatka (as mentioned above) may see another M3+.
Hawaii –
Will continue to experience M1's and M2's. Another M3 (+?) may be felt.
China –
Has been thankfully 'quiet' so far. Though an M3+ may pop up in the far west and south west.
Afghanistan –
May experience an M3++.
Pakistan –
Maybe southern Pakistan and north with the border of Afghanistan – M3'ish
Iran –
North western region may see an M3+ (near the Caspian Sea).
Maybe the Iran/Iraq border too.
Kazakhstan/Kyrgyzstan border may see an m2+ (+?).
Turkey –
Will continue to rumble with M1's, M2's and the odd M3 (maybe +)
Romania –
May experience another M3
Serbia/Bulgaria –
Possibly an M3 (+?)
Poland an M2?
Greece –
Southern Greece may be visited by an M3+ and the odd m2. The Mediterranean Sea may see another M3 (+?)
Italy –
May feel another M2+ and maybe an M3+.
Spain and Portugal may feel an M2+ and M3+ respectively. (Canary Islands?)
North and South Atlantic may see an m3+.
Indian Ocean ridge/trench may surprise with an M3+
Greenland Sea –
Only a mild feeling for this region for an m3+
Sandwich Islands –
May feel an M3.
Easter Island –
Is still 'sticking' with me a bit for an m3+.
Canada –
The Yukon may see another M2 and maybe an M2+. Off the coast of British Columbia may feel an M3+.
This is a substantial list again, and I have probably left out a couple of regions. My 'radar' has been a bit off today and yesterday, due to an anaesthetic for dental work :)
Again, these M's are only feelings and not predictions. So, I may be quite wrong with some of them and some may not occur at all.

It's been so long since I've written a blog post or a poem or a book review or even a journal entry. My life has been moving quickly and happily. But in certain ways, I feel like I've lost a bit of myself.
Here's what's happened in the last two months: I moved from the Midwest to the South- Ohio to Florida. A 14 hour car ride with my mother, my aunt, and my cat. There were stressors like anxiety and maintenance issues, a fear of the unknown, and the heat. I moved into a large apartment who's maintenance staff leaves much to be desired. They stayed with me for two days before I drove them to the airport, two hours away from my new home, at 3AM. I remember parking in my new parking lot, alone for the first time, with the full moon still bright in the sky. I felt tired and nostalgic, yet somehow energized, a whirlwind of possibility everywhere I looked. I didn't know what to expect.
That day I'd been talking to someone on Bumble. We'd messaged back and forth for a few days discussing Game of Thrones and my book collection. He was cute and witty, but who wasn't in those early days of messaging? I tried containing my excitement, the embarrassing, all-encompassing thrill I still vividly experience whenever I meet someone that I can see myself feeling anything for. I'd catch myself smiling at his messages, tell myself not to, and forget my own warnings by the time the next text came through. I'm hopeless when it comes to new romance.
That week brought me to my new job, the start of my career. It was tiring, those first two days; my feet hurt and I longed for my air-conditioned, cat-cozy apartment. It was on the second day of work, a Tuesday, that he asked me to grab dinner. And it happened: the transition I always fear and loathe. Moving from what I am so tremendous at- the small, sly, witty banter that comes with the first two weeks of small talk- to what I sometimes cannot even bring myself to do- an actual date. Exposing myself in any kind of real way terrifies me, mostly because of the ways in which I've been conditioned by men of my past, the men who never allow me to get close enough, who never want to know the frail, sometimes insecure interior because of the smart, quick, lovely exterior. I've been manic-pixie-dreamgirled by every man I've thought I was close to for the past two years. Two years. Saying that aloud makes me want to weep and wallop with rage. The past 24 months have been sprinkled with men who I've seen the potential in, men who have started our small would-be relationship with a sort of obsession or disbelief in me only to end it weeks later when the realization comes that I am real and still healing.
Here's the thing: I am so good at being alone. I fucking rule at the whole independent, badass, doesn't need a man thing. I'm skilled at sitting at home alone on a Friday night and not feeling lonely. I'm an expert at posting my glass of wine and face mask onto Snapchat, at getting my exes and men who could've been but never were to text me afterwards saying 'you're so cool.' I'm great at being distantly beautiful and admirable, quirky enough and nerdy enough to be lighthearted but with a depth that only a girl with a Virginia Woolf quote in her tinder bio can be. I know myself, finally, and I sort of love her too. But can being insanely familiar with yourself jeopardize your chances of forming relationships with others? Romantically, at least? What if I'm no longer meant to do anything with another person?
I went on the date. And I had a fantastic time. Tacos and mojitos followed by a game of mini golf. That Tuesday flowed into that Saturday, my first time in downtown Jacksonville, a second date full of food and beer and cornhole and connect 4. Then Sunday, Game of Thrones and a first kiss. The next week he at my house, us out together and in the same car together, a little more of ourselves revealed. That Friday, first time sleeping together. A weekend spent rosy-faced and sore, eager for more. Spontaneous trip to St Augustine, brunches, watching Wes Anderson movies in bed. And since then it's become routine: the drive to his apartment, his door code I now have memorized, the drink order at SideCar for Trivia Night on Thursdays, the 'nest' in which we burrow into his or my bed for weekends at a time, coming out only for food or drinks or a spur of the moment drive. Video games and books and movies. Kissing and touching. It's all still happening, with regularity and comfort and grace. The ease startles me: he feels like home.
The first night I cried in front of him happened too soon. I felt overwhelmed, anxious at nothing. He'd agreed, with enthusiasm, to come to Ohio with me in September for a friend's wedding. By then I'd met his family, been to their home for Sunday dinners many times. But for some reason this particular night sent me into a frenzy of fear and trepidation- we did not grow up in the same house. In fact, it's hard for me to believe that we grew up in the same planet. Sunday evenings were the ending of dad's drinking binges, usually the ugliest night of the week; how can I adequately prepare this beautiful, perfect man for something like that? Especially when he's used to Sundays in the kitchen, laughing jovially with his father? I can't. And so I panicked.
Since then I've panicked two more times. Once was alone, after work on a Tuesday. Suffering from a panic attack that came from nowhere. A fear that this was ending, a premonition that now, since he'd seen the dark linings within me, he'd leave. Or that my worrying, my incessant anxiety that he would leave, would inevitably and tragically cause him to do just that. It's a brutal cycle that does not make sense to any rational mind. But to a mind that is used to being alone, to knowing and trusting yourself, to being cautious of romance for the baggage and hurt it almost inevitably carries with it… it somehow feels like the only truth there is. He showed up that Tuesday and talked to me for hours, sharing values and morals, worrying together and fixing together. And when the same worries plagued me that Thursday we sat in his bed, me apologizing, him telling me it wasn't my fault. Always understanding, always listening. The next day he showed up with flowers and wine, apologizing for making me scared or hurting me in any way. Lovely. Happiness.
But the fear is still here. The insecurity. The absolute impossibility of me to believe that he feels deeply for me as I do for him. And I don't know why. I don't know how to make it go away. I can no longer throw caution to the wind as I once did with my heart. And sadly, it's this man that deserves my heart, free of any caution, most of all. His patience inspires me. I look at him and feel warmth, hope.
He's taken me to his parents, his grandparents, his friends… he's shown me his favorite views of the city, talked to me about his last relationship. He's committed to me in every way. And yet still: the anxiety. The fear that he has not. A surprise date on Friday (I've never even had one of those) led us to different restaurants and bars, ending with us sitting on a transformer eating hotdogs and watching drunk people stumble around. He asked if I was okay. And I hated myself for feeling disappointed that he hadn't 'made it official.' I mentioned that I thought we might have a conversation, to which he responded that he was already considering us official, that he thought of me as his girlfriend. 'Erika, will you be my girlfriend?' he asked with cheetohs in his mouth. Yes. Yes yes. But please, God, do not let me doubt the way he asked. Don't let my brain doubt that he wanted this because it wasn't done the way I imagined it.
Why am I still so terrified? Every drive home on Sunday I fear that it'll be the last weekend I get to spend in bed with him, even when my rational mind knows the complete falsity of it. How do I get over this hurtle? How do I sink into a comfortable relationship, finally, after years of wanting it so desperately? How do I let it all go, the fears and the hurt? I guess I've still got some healing to do, but how?
Perhaps the solution is spending more time with myself. Reminding myself of my confidence and independence. Knowing that if it indeed does end, I'll be okay. But perhaps the answer lies elsewhere as well. Perhaps it's with him. Let go, Erika. Let yourself have this.

Internet among other things is a big huge photo album, tumblr, blogs. Intagram, twitter, tumblr, facebook all of them are these huge photo albums that you can just click for next on snap or follow some link for another series of snaps and these never run out. The roll Camera a novelty if not a status symbols once has now given ubiquitous mobile phone and digital cameras. Yes there is a debate over having a specialist camera against a phone camera. The fact is phone camera given very decent out put in terms of quality of image. The camera in the phone is in sync step with the improvement in quality of the camera and quality of the snap. It simply amazing how the two phones and camera end up in a single piece of equipment. The network connectivity with Internet just opened the infinite items in Pandora's box to realms beyond imagination.
Yes computer too has had its impact too. That is as obvious as; obvious will ever get. It's not about just snaps from the professional photographers, some people just seem to get it right. It more than just snaps though, add meme and humour to it and some are just the daily dose of humour your simple can't have enough of those. It is digitization I know. But some of the things are just so thrilling, so cool, so, inspiring, so times just leaves you short of words.
I know camera are now one of the easiest things to use. Just aim and click. Snap of fingers and snap is on display. Often the image seems more picturesque than the object itself. It took me hard time to buy a camera phone. I had used a Nokia N95 for sometime it was fabulous. Then I had some more phones. I wanted to buy a camera phone with flash again. Yes I was fussy about the flash, I just something I wanted in the camera phone. Incredulous? Yes I know. Its just one of those (many) things.
The camera are know so easy to use, like I said. Its just aim and click. There should be however one should read about nuances off photography. National geographic website is a great tool. The tips there, are simple and basic. If these minor steps are followed then the photography skills increases multiple folds. It may be about the camera angle or may be how to stand while taking shot, or always having the camera

What I Am Asking For, For Christmas
We are getting soooooo bored by our usual outdoor spots. Well, by "we" I mean "me" because I think my toddler is probably super fine with the same playground rotations. This past week I went to the play ground by Roberts pool, part of the East Bay Regional Parks system. It was heaven! In a beautiful setting, lots of great equipment, an elevated play structure, lots of slides and climbing options, clean bathrooms, great BBQ areas, lots of lawn space to run – just heaven! But the downside is, and this is huge, that it costs $5 to park. Boo! And I mean boo hoo, not the seasonally appropriate Halloween Boo. Then this frugal momma discovered that there is a $50 individual and $95 family annual membership to the whole East Bay Parks system that provides many benefits, including free parking, free swimming and discounts on camping. Guess what I am asking for, for Christmas instead of my usual New Yorker subscription request? You know it! What momma of a toddler has the time and mental bandwidth for that mag right now anyways, right? Click here to learn more about the membership benefits.

The FBI's state-by-state crime report for 2016 shows that crime rates continue to decline in Connecticut, which has seen the largest reduction in violent crime of any state in the nation over the last four years.
The overall crime in Connecticut is now at its lowest point since 1967, according to the FBI report. The number of murders statewide is at the lowest point since 1969.
Since 2011, overall crime in Connecticut has declined by 18 percent, including a 20 percent drop in violent crime.
"Because of smart, data driven policies and reforms to our criminal justice system, we have made Connecticut neighborhoods safer than they have been in nearly two generations," Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said. "As fewer people commit crimes and become incarcerated, we are not only improving communities but also saving taxpayer dollars and allowing the state to better focus our resources on education and social services.
"The data presented in today's federal report could not have been possible without the hard work of our state and local police officers, probation and parole officers, correctional officers, prosecutors, judges, victim advocates, teachers, substance abuse and mental health professionals, and community advocates – each working every day to make our state a better place to live, work, and raise a family, and I thank them for their service."
Notable statistics in the FBI's annual crime trends report for Connecticut this year includes:
- The total number of murders fell by 32.8 percent, declining from 116 in 2015 to 78 in 2016. This is the fewest number of murders in the state since 1969.
- Connecticut had the largest percentage drop of murders of any state in the country in 2016.
- Rape declined by 4.4 percent over the prior year.
- Property crime declined by 1.4 percent over the prior year.
- Burglaries declined by 2.3 percent over the prior year.
- Larcenies declined by 2.8 percent over the prior year.
According to the FBI, reported "Index Crimes" (crimes involving victims, such as murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft and arson) dropped 25.9 percent in Connecticut between 2008 and 2016. During the same time period, despite a slight increase in 2016, violent crime is down 24.5 percent while property crime has fallen by 26 percent.

UNA-Armenia reaching out to media: Discussing R2P with Journalists
WFUNA R2P program mentioned in the news in Armenia as partner UNA-Armenia holds a roundtable discussion for journalists on R2P.
UNA-Armenia wants to hear what YOUth think on R2P?
UNA-Armenia announced an R2P Debate Competition amongst 4 key universities in Armenia to foster more awareness on mass atrocity prevention.
Civil society joins forces in Armenia to raise awareness on R2P
On November 7 2011, representatives from different NGOs gathered to discuss R2P with UNA-Armenia and brainstorm future cooperation to raise awareness amongst civil society.
UNA-Armenia launches a blog on R2P
UNA-Armenia, as part of WFUNA's project "The Responsibility to Protect: Mobilising Public and Political Will", has launched a blog to provide information on R2P as well as use as an avenue to discuss some of the current debates surrounding the norm. The blog will be published in both English and Armenian. For your voice to be heard make sure to check out the blog and post a comment.
UNA-Armenia lectures at Yerevan State University
On September 29th, UNA-Armenia's Responsibility to Protect Project Coordinator guest lectured at Yerevan State University. Over 30 students taking the class "Peace Culture", part of a Master program at the University, heard about R2P and the importance of the norm. The lecture generated healthy discussion and sparked debates surrounding the norm. UNA-Armenia will be presenting their introductory R2P lecture to at least 3 more Universities in the coming months.
Building the capacity of youth in Armenia to prevent mass atrocities
In August, UNA-Armenia (AUNA) recruited 15 youngsters from the Armenian UN Association Youth Division Network to participate in training on the Responsibility to Protect. Among the participants were future lawyers, political scientists, economists and diplomats interested and keen to learn more. AUNA's Project Coordinator welcomed all the participants, encouraging them to take a leading role in promoting the R2P as future leaders of Armenia.
The training began by introducing WFUNA, AUNA and by explaining how youth could be involved in implementing R2P through WFUNA and AUNA's project "Responsibility to protect (R2P): Mobilizing Public and Political Will". The head of AUNA Youth Division, who was trained by WFUNA, provided participants with an overview of R2P to gain a better understanding of its historical importance. The training, modeled to be interactive, included power point presentations on the norm as well as organized debates. The debate whereby groups argued for or against the norm was a particular favorite amongst the participants.
AUNA received an overwhelmingly positive response from the Youth Division with many participants requesting further discussion and debates on R2P and its surrounding issues in the future.

Roasted Tomatoes
I seldom throw out old tomatoes. I often end up with cherry tomatoes that are just beginning to shrivel. Or beefsteak tomatoes that are beginning to soften. They seem un-useable, but actually there's nothing wrong with them, except for the texture -- as long as they haven't started to rot in spots. I usually have an abundance of tomatoes in my kitchen -- various varieties depending on the season.

Some people want to commit suicide. They think that if they kill themselves somehow they will be better off or the people who are left alive will be better off. These kinds of people have lost their hope in God. They have stopped trusting in God to provide for their needs. People who want to commit suicide have lost all hope. They have forgotten about God and think that doing something stupid will help them or others.
Jesus said that God sent Him to give us life and to give it abundantly.
God said: "Runtii, runtii, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Kii aan xerada idaha illinka ka soo gelin ee meel kale ka soo fuulaa, kaasi waa tuug iyo waxdhace. Laakiin kii illinka ka soo galaa waa adhijirka idaha. Illinjoogaha ayaa isaga illinka ka fura, iduhuna codkiisay maqlaan, idihiisana magacyadooda ayuu ugu yeedhaa, oo dibadduu u kaxeeyaa. Markuu kuwiisa wada saaro, wuu hor kacaa, iduhuna way raacaan, waayo, codkiisay garanayaan. Nin qalaadna raaci maayaan, laakiin way ka cararayaan, waayo, codka kuwa qalaad garan maayaan. Masaalkaas Ciise ayaa kula hadlay iyaga, laakiin ma ay garan waxyaaluhuu kala hadlayay xaggooda.
Haddaba Ciise ayaa mar kale ku yidhi, Runtii, runtii, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Waxaan ahay illinka iduhu ka soo galaan. Kuwii hortay yimid oo dhammu waa tuugag iyo waxdhacayaal, iduhuse ma maqlin. Waxaan ahay illinka, haddii qof uun xaggayga ka soo galo, wuu badbaadi doonaa, wuuna soo geli doonaa oo bixi doonaa, daaq buuna heli doonaa. Tuuggu wax kale uma yimaado inuu wax xado oo dilo oo halleeyo mooyaane, aniguse waxaan u imid inay nolosha haystaan oo ay badnaan u haystaan.
Waxaan ahay adhijirka wanaagsan. Adhijirka wanaagsanu wuxuu naftiisa u bixiyaa idaha daraaddood. Kan ciidanka ah oo aan adhijirka ahayn, iduhuna aanay kuwiisa ahayn, kolkuu arko yeeyda oo soo socota, wuu ka tagaa idaha oo ka cararaa. Markaasay yeeydu qabsataa oo kala firdhisaa iyaga. Wuu cararaa, waayo, isagu waa ciidan uun, oo idaha waxba kama gelin. Waxaan ahay adhijirka wanaagsan; waan garanayaa kuwayga, kuwayguna waa i garanayaan, sida Aabbuhu ii garanayo, anna aan Aabbaha u garanayo; oo naftaydana waan u bixiyaa idaha daraaddood. Ido kale ayaan leeyahay oo aan kuwa xeradan ahayn, kuwaasna waa inaan keenaa, waxayna maqli doonaan codkayga, oo waxaa jiri doona adhi keliya iyo adhijir keliya." – Yooxanaa 10:1-16
We need to choose between life and death
God has given us the free will to decide what we want to do and who we want to be. We can choose life or we can choose death. We can choose to follow God or we can choose not to follow God.
Jesus says that He is the light of this world and that if we follow Him we will not live in darkness or do the evil deeds of this world.
Here is what Jesus said:
"Anigu waxaan ahay nuurka dunida. Kii i soo raacaa, gudcurka kuma socon doono, wuxuuse lahaan doonaa nuurka nolosha." – Yooxanaa 8:12
Some of you are sitting in darkness right now. You might be able to see with your eyes but you cannot see with your heart. Your eyes are open but your hearts are closed to God.
It was the same when Jesus walked on the earth 2,000 or so years ago. Many people could see with their eyes but they could not see with their hearts. When Jesus appeared to them this is what the Bible said of them:
"Dadkii fadhiyi jiray gudcurka Ayaa iftiin weyn arkay, Kuwii fadhiyi jiray dalka iyo hooska dhimashadana, Iftiin baa u baxay." – Matayos 4:16
We do not have to die for our sins or die for God. Jesus already died for us. Jesus died so that we could have life and have it more abundantly.
"Ugu dambaysta, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Kulligiin isku maan ahaada, oo isu jixinjixa, oo sida walaalo isu jeclaada, oo isu naxariista, oo is-hoosaysiiya. Shar shar ha ka celinina, cayna cay ha ka celinina, laakiinse duco ka celiya, maxaa yeelay, saas aawadeed waxaa laydiinku yeedhay inaad barako dhaxashaan, waayo,
Kii doonaya inuu nolol jeclaado,
Oo arko maalmo wanaagsan,
Carrabkiisa shar ha ka joojiyo,
Bushimihiisana yaanay khiyaano ku hadlin.
Oo ha ka leexdo shar, oo wanaag ha sameeyo;
Nabad ha doondoono oo ha raacdaysto;
Waayo, Rabbiga indhihiisu waxay fiiriyaan kuwa xaqa ah,
Dhegihiisuna waxay u furan yihiin baryadooda;
Laakiin wejiga Rabbigu waa ka gees kuwa sharka sameeya.
Haddii aad waxa wanaagsan ku dadaashaan, bal yaa wax idin yeeli doona? Laakiinse xaqnimada daraaddeed haddii aad u xanuunsataan, waad barakaysan tihiin. Haddaba ha ka cabsanina cabsigelintooda, hana welwelina. Rabbiga Masiixa ah qalbiyadiinna quduus kaga dhiga, oo mar kasta diyaar u ahaada inaad u jawaabtaan nin alla ninkii wax idinka weyddiiya sabab ku saabsan rajada aad leedihiin, laakiinse qabow iyo cabsi ugu jawaaba,idinkoo qalbi wanaagsan leh, in markii wax xun laydinka sheego, ay ceeboobaan kuwa caaya dabiicaddiinna wanaagsan ee xagga Masiixa ah. Waayo, haddii ay doonista Ilaah tahay, waxaa ka wanaagsan inaad samafalidda u xanuunsataan intii aad u xanuunsan lahaydeen sharfalidda." – 1 Butros 3:8-17
In Russia there were two men who belonged to an underground church and they were both arrested and put in prison for their faith in Jesus Christ. One man was a pastor and the other was a member of the church. First the authorities tortured the pastor. They tried to get the pastor to tell who all the other Christians were. But the pastor would not tell them.
Then the authorities arrested one of the members of the church. They brought the member of the church to the prison and said to the pastor. "If you do not tell us where all the Christians are we will torture this member of your church."
The man who was the member told the pastor that it was ok if they tortured him because Jesus Christ would strengthen him. The torturers began to torture the member in front of the pastor but the member told the pastor not to tell them where all the Christians were. The member said he would rather die for Christ than have the authorities know where all the Christians were. And the member died in the hands of the torturers.
God's light will always shine and even if Christians are killed the light of God will never go out.
"Nuurkuna wuxuu ka ifayaa gudcurka, gudcurkuna kama badin." – Yooxanaa 1:5
When the soldiers came to arrest Jesus one of the followers of Jesus attacked those coming to arrest Jesus. The name of the follower of Jesus was Peter. Peter cut off the ear of one of those who came to arrest Jesus but Jesus told Peter not to use force to fight for the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of Jesus Christ is a Kingdom of peace and love and those who are followers of Christ must suffer much for the Lord.
Let us pray.
"God we thank you for the light that has come into the world through Jesus Christ. His words are words of life and Jesus said that He is the light of the world. If we have Jesus Christ in our hearts we have life in our heart and we also become shining lights on this earth.
God we pray for those who think they need to commit suicide because they have lost all hope in this world. We pray that they will find peace in you O God and that they will have peace for their hearts and their souls. Amen."

Exercises can be done at five different levels of difficulty, so that children are challenged and continue to make progress. For every 400 points that a child scores, they are rewarded with new pictures to use with the printing machine. As they gather more pictures they can enjoy designing their own cards, invitations and labels, which can be printed out.
Children can also have lots of fun navigating around Science City and learning lots of facts along the way. For example, they can find out about animals, food chains and gravity. The progress tracker clearly shows how each child is getting on with a system of green and red lights. This would quickly show parents where more help is needed. --Amanda York

Bruce Willis + Lex Luthor in 'Injustice: Gods Among Us' – Celebrity Doppelgangers
Not all hairless men look alike, especially when one is a flesh and blood human and the other is a CGI fictional character. But there's something about Bruce Willis and Lex Luthor in the video game 'Injustice: Gods Among Us' that set off our look-alike ray.
Yes, we totally have one of those in our storage unit.
If our count is accurate, Bruce Willis has been in about a bajillion movies including the 'Die Hard' franchise, 'The Fifth Element,' 'Armageddon' and 'The Sixth Sense.' He's saved the world, saved the girl and even saved other worlds, earning two Emmys and a Golden Globe in the process.
Lex Luthor, the balding nemesis of Superman, has a billion-dollar corporation, a hatred for illegal aliens from other planets and a penchant for glowing green rocks. However, since 'Injustice' is set in an alternate universe, he was never evil to begin with -- so we don't even know what he does with all that free time.
