Female development and retention is an area of particular interest for us, given the high number of women we employ.
Over the last 6 months, thanks to our selection of unique female development initiatives, created to support women across the firm and push gender diversity, our Diversity Programme has achieved the following:
- Times Top 50 Employers for Women 2018
- UK Diversity Legal Awards 2017. AG won the 'Managing Diverse Talent' award and gained recognition for its innovative Returner Programme.
- HR in Law Awards 2018. AG won the awards for 'Excellence in Diversity& Inclusion' and the 'Grand Prix' top award for our D&I Programme
We are a signatory to the government's 'Think, Act, Report' initiative, a voluntary programme to improve gender equality in the workplace and share best practice.
Development Programmes
We continue to invest in our established internal female development programmes, designed to encourage women to aspire for senior positions within our firm and develop the skills that will help them succeed.
We have been running our flagship programme, "How to Flourish", for the last six years. During this time we have worked with over 240 women, with a long-term goal of increasing gender diversity at senior levels, and continue to work with them through ongoing alumni activities, master classes and networking events. It is a unique initiative for our firm in that around one third of each cohort are in house lawyers working for our clients and contacts. Feedback is always exceptional:
"Thank you so much for arranging the course and to the course providers who were so entertaining as well as being utterly inspirational. I have flourished!"
Returner Programme
The firm supports the work of the Women Lawyers' Division of The Law Society. We have introduced our Returner Programme, aimed at solicitors who have been out of the profession for a number of years (due to a variety of circumstances) but are looking to make a return. This placement scheme is designed to help women re-experience life in a commercial law firm, develop a network, update their skills and re-build their confidence.
For details about how to apply for the 2018 programme, please click here.
Support for working parents and carers
We have significantly increased the level of support offered to working parents and carers, including the introduction of a maternity buddy scheme, lunches for new parents, webinars and seminars on subjects of interest to working parents and carers, and support with sourcing childcare. We also offer enhanced pay for employees wishing to take Shared Parental Leave which matches our generous maternity pay package.
We have worked hard over the last few years to embed a flexible and agile culture at the firm, which we know has helped to retain a number of women with caring responsibilities. For more information about our approach, please see our agile working page.
For more information, please don't hesitate to email us and get in touch.

Many women, following the birth of their children and or breast feeding, find that their breast have deteriorated in terms of size shape and feel. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts tend to lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag. Even without pregnancies however, the effects of time, gravity and alternate weight gain and loss, can all take their toll. Occasionally, unfortunate young ladies who have not had child or even extreme changes in weight develop breasts which are inherently droopy or sagging. A breast uplift or Mastopexy is a surgical procedure to reshape, tighten and raise saggy breasts without altering the overall volume of the breast. Mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple.

Franklin Surplus was founded in 1911 by Frank Franklin. It's first location was in Seymour, Indiana on Pine Street where Schneck Medical Center is now. In the 1950s, Frank's son Robert Edison Franklin (wife, Louise Franklin) took over the business. At this time the business was known as Franklin Brothers. The scrap metal recycling industry was vastly different than it is today. At that time they bought not only scrap metal, but also fur, paper, nylon, cardboard, intertubes, and even rags (there are stories about the "ragman" coming around buying these). Cleaning scrap metal in these days was not easy. No machinery was available or affordable. Sometimes a hammer and chisel was used to clean metal.
In 1974 after the death of Robert Edison, his son, Robert Eugene Franklin (today's current owner-wife is Bonnie Franklin) took over the business. It was renamed Franklin Scrap. His brother Frank "Bo" Franklin would soon follow him as co-owner, but he was still in high school at the time. At this time Franklin Scrap bought scrap metal and furs. Handling scrap metal was still not easy, using pole, or wrecker trucks and loading much by hand.
Around 1987, the scrapyard moved to its current location in North Vernon, Indiana with Bob and Bo as the owners. The name also changed to Franklin Surplus, Inc. Today the business has grown enormously. Franklin Surplus does scrap metal recycling on a large scale, serving sites all over the United States. Robert "Bob" Franklin and Frank "Bo" Franklin are still the owners and now Bob's children are also involved in the business.

Freedom's Dream!
I noticed lately Freedom had just not been himself. With the shorter days and less time to play outside with Angel and with so much excitement going on at Voice For The Horse, little time was spent with Freedom in the fall and winter of 2012. Thus, depression had pretty much set in for him as he felt his days with Angel and Voice For The Horse were no longer a priority.
When Freedom showed up only as a "Flat Stanley" in June of 2012, he was head over heels with how much he was doted on. To be back with Angel, reunited over two years since they first met, was more than he ever dreamed could happen for him. After his first Adventure to Hastings Park, he knew he wanted to transform to a horse to be closer to Angel in fact but this was not to be, for Angel did not want to lose her "Flat Stanley". The only other option for our unnamed "Flat Character" was to become a PR Person/Figure for Voice For The Horse – who appropriately we named Freedom!
Freedom's biggest dream ever has always been to travel and promote the message of Voice For The Horse. In fact this is the main purpose of what a"Flat Stanley Characters" does; he travels from destination to destination where his activities are tracked by his sender (usually kids in elementary/middle school age group). The exciting part of this for Freedom is he already is promoting children's literacy through the Flat Stanley Project which is very fitting with the Voice For The Horse Organization.
This Flat Character Does Not Dream SMALL DREAMS! – Be Careful What YOU Ask For!
After a very quiet winter for Freedom in 2013 and learning he felt like he was no longer an important figure at Voice For The Horse, we sat him down and told him never ever would he NOT BE a part of our Organization. In fact I told him if we were so lucky to ever have the opportunity for Freedom to travel the world to promote what Voice For The Horse does, he would be flying out the door in no time at all to do just this! Well, be careful what you ask for as we set in place for Freedom to initiate three major campaigns for Voice For The Horse in the summer of 2013 called the FREEDOM TOUR U.S.A., the FREEDOM TOUR CANADA and the FREEDOM TOUR GREAT BRITAIN where our little flat friend will be promoting the 3rd Annual Voice For The Horse Children's Writing Competition – Subject: WAR HORSES! After breaking this exciting news to him we then proceeded to take him out to the field where we tied him snugly into Angel's mane where the two of them spent the rest of the day together, grazing it away. I even noticed Angel slip away with Freedom down into the trails of the forest … were not exactly quite sure what went on in there but it must have been good as they both sported big smiling happy faces upon their return home!!
We look forward to a fun and successful 2013 with many new Freedom Flat Stanley Adventures to come! See you ALL at the races!

Summer Time Memories!
Our newly annointed Flat Character – Freedom had so much fun in the summer of 2012. He got to be with the "love of his life Angel" and hang out with lots of kids like Sara who toted him everywhere with her! Oh to be loved …
VFTH Mascots – Hard at Work (making new friends!!).
After many years seeking a way to forever "bridge the gap between horse and humans in our modern day world" the photo below depicts a very big part of our mission ~ having people touch, feel and engage with horses on a level that is well outside the showring in fact and within the heart of the many who simply love the horse for "who it is they are". At Voice For The Horse we believe everyone should have the opportunity to connect with horses on a level available to them which gives us "our why" to develop further programming where our children, parents and teachers may share in our celebration and love for the horse!
In the photo below is VFTH Mascot Mischief (on the left) ridden by local writing competitor of VFTH 1st Annual Children's Writing Competition 2011, Katie Bachmann from Pitt Meadows, B.C. and Yvonne Allen from Voice For The Horse on VFTH Mascot Angel; a brother/sister team! Our new friends are Karen and Carmel from a nearby medical building taking a stroll on their lunch break!
Visitor from Austin, Texas meets Angel and Virtual Horse To Be!
Impressed by her size, energy and kindness, David was in awe when he met Angel and her little Flat Stanley Friend who is transforming to a horse to forever live his days out in the field with Angel! See 1st post on the bottom of our blog to learn about the amazing love story that has evolved since Flat Stanley and Angel met three years ago! David is from Austin, Texas and was so impressed with the VFTH Project he took Angel's Flat Character back home with him (with Angel's permission of course!).
Matthew McCormack ~ Winner of VFTH Children's Wild Horse Writing Competition 2011
Matthew McCormach – Grand Prize Winner of the VFTH International Writing Competition 2011 – Subject Wild Horses and his guest from Missouri, U.S.A. will be flying to the ISPBM (International Society for the Protection of Mustangs and Burros) in July 2012!! Matthew very much looks forward to his trip and promises to bring back a great story for us! Although a Canadian born organization, Voice For The Horse reaches beyond our borders to create awareness for both our younger generations and of course our horses with the mission to "Bridge the Gap between Horse and Humans in our Modern Day World". We invite you to join us and be a part of our virtual and social media platform created to forever engage us ALL with these wonderful animals!
Visit our Online Presentation Page for the 1st VFTH International Children's Writing Competition 2011
Matthew: Thank you for sharing the following kind and thoughtful words with Voice For The Horse …
"Everyone has a hobby or task that they love. Volunteering is one of the hobbies that I enjoy. I particularly like to spend time helping animals such as horses. For two years in high school, I volunteered at a therapeutic riding facility for children and adults who are disabled. I would help individuals with various mental and physical disabilities learn to ride horses. As I would walk alongside the horse and rider, I made sure the pupil was sitting up straight, holding the reigns properly, but most importantly, feeling content and special. This was such a joy for me and for everybody who was involved in the therapeutic riding lessons. Everyone whom I volunteered with at this fantastic facility, including the horses, was so upbeat. Associating with horses and helping the less fortunate feel like they were on top of the world was definitely a win-win situation.
I have also volunteered for years at a large animal rescue facility. I clean stalls, brush horses, hand out treats, and make sure each animal is treasured. Seeing horses and other farm animals bounce back from a previous life of abuse or neglect at this rescue facility is such a great feeling. Knowing that I was involved in the recovery effort of suffering animals puts a big and rewarding smile on my face.
I would encourage others to get out and volunteer! Maybe volunteering with animals is not your thing. There are countless other volunteer opportunities to embrace. I would encourage everyone to play a part in making the world a better place. Something as simple as a friendly greeting or gesture to a person (or an animal ) truly does make the world a happier, better place to live".

Yeap, the weather still is completely mad! It can't make up it's mind whether it should sunshine or just rain all day. Instead it has decided to have big, heavy downpours that last a few minutes, followed by lovely, warm sunshine. Fortunately it hasn't disrupted today's climbing too much. I've spent the day climbing with a regular client, who is now leading climbs that are graded Hard Very Severe (HVS). This is the second weekend in a row that we've climbed together. Last weekend we climbed on the lovely granite of Dartmoor. On the Saturday we chose to climb at The Dewerstone, which is a big crag (for Dartmoor). There are many fabulous climbs here, including a route that is in the book, Classic Rock. Although there aren't many climbs above E2, the setting alone is enough to inspire even the most jaded 'hardman', and the start of the climb "Climber's Club Direct" will certainly give most modern sports climbers a hard time.
The next day, we headed out to Hay Tor, perhaps the most visited crag on the moor - not just by climbers, as those who seek an audience while climbing will not be disappointed here. As a major attraction, bus loads of tourists stream their way up from the carpark, to make ascents of both the main tor and Low Man via steps that have been cut into the granite a couple of hundred years ago, and are now polished to a high sheen by millions of feet. There was a cold wind blowing, but it was possible to find shelter by hiding on part of the crag that was in the lee of the wind. Six more climbs here, and our tally for the weekend was up to 10 routes!
With colder winds and rain forecast, on the monday, we took a gamble and headed to Torquay and coastal limestone. Probably best known for the hard sports climbing at Anstey's Cove, Torquay also offers great climbing at lower grades, in quarries and sea cliffs, including the awe-inspiring cave at Berry Head. With a mild climate, and being south-facing, it makes for a great winter climbing venue. It was here that I took a big fall, some 20 years ago, from a climb called Crinoid. I had managed to wobble my way up to, and then beyond, twin pegs, before being spat off on the crux moves, and ended up upside down, just two feet from the ground. Keen to put this beast to rest, I tied in and went for it. It involved lots of technical footwork on a steep slab with loooonnnnggg runouts above protection. A couple of times I thought I had blown it, but managed to keep myself together and make it to the top. A check of the latest guidebook revealed that the climb has been 'upgraded' from E1 to E2 (that means its harder)! Let's just say I was very chuffed, as was my client, whose climbing skills had come on leaps and bounds and had culminated with a perfect 'on-sight' lead of a climb called 'Liaison with Lenin', which is graded HVS , and is a really good climb for someone to lead, when making the jump from Very Severe (VS), as the protection is excellent and easy to place.
Ok, it seems like I've been neglecting the wonderful seacliffs of Cornwall....well, nothing could be further from the truth. I've been climbing down on the Lizard quite a bit recently. This is partially due to helping a friend, who is currently writing a new guidebook to the area. The new book should be available next year, but at the moment, we have been checking climbs and climbing new ones too! I've also been there with friends from my time in the RAF. It's been a great way to catch up, even though the last time we climbed together was back in 1999!!!
And it's not just climbing on The Lizard, I've also been down in Penwith at Chair Ladder, Carn Barra and other cliffs - both for work and for pleasure. I've been drafted in to help with a new guidebook for the area, so I've been checking lots of routes, mostly those climbs that people don't do because they concentrate on climbing the 'classics' or '3 star' routes. Well, all I can say is that they are missing out!
Well, thats it. I think I have caught up with everything, apart from today's escapades up near Bristol (climbing at Portishead Quarry and Suspension Bridge Buttress, Avon Gorge), but I'm sure I will post something again soon. Off to the Wye Valley tomorrow. Hope the weather holds out.

What do I want to say here and when do I want to say it?
These are questions every writer needs to ask, probably on a regular basis. They're questions every yoga teacher asks, pursuing the practice with the students looking expectantly up at us from their mats. Hell, they're questions every single one of us should ask as we move through our lives, alongside, "Is it true, is it kind, is it necessary?" My mother, Eighty-eight, used to insist to a much younger me that I could say anything in the world as long as it met those criteria.
The publication date for this post is July 8. That's the birthday of a woman I've known since we were nine years old, from the days I spent in boarding school in southwest England. I am reminded of one moment from those years every time I offer my yoga students the opportunity to rest lying flat on their bellies, arms outstretched to tee, heads turned softly to one side. I call it Lying-on-the-Grass-Asana in memory of one day when I was eleven, my daughter's age. I walked across the playing field to the English meadow at the far boundary of our school. I may have sat for a while, watching the rounders game on the field, but at some point I decided to lie down, flat on my stomach, stretch out my arms to hug the earth and turn my head gently to one side. I was aware of how big the planet felt, how small I felt, and how right it all was even so.
When I left Dartington Hall to return to the states for junior high, birthday-girl Abbie and I became steadfast pen pals. Letters flew across the Atlantic, sometimes not even answered before the next one was written. Move after move I have toted with me the collection, such that just now I was able to walk down to the totally cluttered disorganized basement and put my hands on the box: letters from Abbie.
Today Abbie is a writer for Media Wales, the mother of three growing children, and the wife of a producer for the BBC. Modern, adult life has, to be sure, adjusted our communications. We stay in touch via Facebook posts and occasional email messages. But I still try, once in the summer in honor of her birthday and once around the holidays, to write her a real letter. It makes me feel at the same time in touch with my friend and my younger self. When I receive a birthday letter from Abbie, I make an occasion out of reading it. A smoothie or a cup of tea and a patch of grass under a tree somewhere and I travel back in time to the meadow where we used to romp when we were free after classes.
Abbie is an amazing flower in the meadow of my own making. That's a phrase I used for the first time, the meadow of my own making, while I was teaching at the corporate site where I lead yoga practice three days a week. It is precisely the kind of hippy-dippy flowery phrase that yoga teachers say, words strung together meant to soothe and ease. One of the students in the class smiles all the way through, even when she comes up against a pose she doesn't like. Meadow-day it was a hip opener that we deceptively propped with a blanket and then held for a long time. I commented on Stacey's persistent smile, and another student suggested perhaps it was a grimace and made a pained face. "We don't do face yoga," I quipped, quoting one of my favorite teachers. "Why not?" the grimacing student, a man, asked. "It might help, you know, lift everything."
What I meant was that we work on keeping the face serene when we practice. What he meant was, is there a practice that would do for the face what the Asana do for the body? I had once done a little investigating and found, as with so many self-improvements, a dazzling array of promises on the Internet. I told him I'd dig in a little deeper, but in the meantime everything that we do reflects on the face and he should step deeper—and the phrase just arrived—into the meadow of his own making.
Sentimental, sure. Then again, that's why they come to see me. And the day of this class was a day when it was entirely too easy to believe in the meadow. A pleasant 80 degrees with a light breeze and glorious yellow sunshine accompanied me on my fifteen-minute drive over. I walked in and asked for requests—our usual Friday practice. Savasana came the first response, without missing a beat. The silence that followed was an assent. They were tired today, okay. But what else? The pose suggestions came along. Pigeon said one, Rabbit from another. Heart-openers requested another. Shoulders please. A bunny and a birdie and a nap, I said. Sounds like we're in a meadow today, and I asked them then to come onto their backs, knees bent, soles of the feet together. After a few breaths they started to ease the knees together and then open them back out again, a slow flying butterfly, and visualize the next flower, and then the next, and then the one after.
Which is all to say that the meadow came spontaneously, from the energy in the room. Closing our eyes got us out of visual impact, away from the feedback of the face and into the body. I sprinkled the meadow imagery throughout the practice, never sure if I was laying it on too thick. At the end, tucking their blankets around them in Savasana, I invoked my new phrase again, inviting them to rest in the meadow of their own making. As I walked the room, rubbing my hands together and placing them on their shoulders, I watched them relax and bloom, the flowers that they are.
When asked what the decorations would be for his famous Black and White Ball, Truman Capote replied, "The people will be the flowers." And I am so lucky, I think, that in my meadow there are so many flowers: friends, like Abbie, who I have known for nearly forty years and those I'm just getting to know; yogis who smile even when they don't relish a pose; strangers who respond to the bright orange of my car with delight; Eleven and Fourteen who are thriving this summer; Eighty-eight whose wisdom I cherish; people who have yet to walk through the door and join the Radiant Om Yoga community.
So, what do I want to say on this particular day? I want to say that my heart is full of gratitude, and that I'm glad I'm a yoga teacher and can get away with inviting you to skip through the meadow of my own making, to lie on the grass with me, to let go of the world for just a little while and realize at the same time we're in it. This is it. And it's good.
Happy Birthday Abbie! This isn't a real letter, so I owe you that, but it's from my heart and in honor of your birthday and the new thunder moon. To Abbie and all, thank you for sauntering along with me, Rxo

I spent today at both Urgent Care then the Emergency Department
After one hour in the bed, I realized I was not getting better. I was thinking there was a sinus infection brewing after the Google MD told me so. But, the medical doctor did one better and diagnosed me with a complex migraine with aura. I realized the 'Aura' was spreading far and wide and the numbness and tingling were not going anywhere. Yep, that's what nurses do – we ignore symptoms even though we know we are having them. So, I went to Urgent Care. Vital Signs normal. Ekg looked great. But, after being told that my Google MD diagnosis of Sinusitis would not cause left arm numbness and tingling – I was off to the Emergency room for a CT of the Head.
Delaying Self Care
Kindergarten blues has been the epitome of all illnesses in this home. MVP (Middle Vante Princess) comes home with every bug there is to name. Thanks to her, my 9-month-old son has been sick right along with her. Then there is me. So, On Thursday when I started feeling cruddy, I chucked it up to contamination from the kindergarten child.
Yesterday, I found myself unable to manage my son who is 9 months old. The department was able to flex me off from work today, Saturday, one of two days I work every week. I am an ICU nurse. Working 12 hours with a throbbing headache, stiff neck and just feeling down in the dumps was not a good idea.
Around noon I start getting the kids ready, so we could get them out the house. I was attempting to rest to prepare for work tomorrow, Sunday. As I make my way back home, I stop to buy some over the counter medication to 'help' this 'sinus infection. The kind of medicine you have to show your state license to obtain from Pharmacy.
Having a Complex Migraine with Aura
On my way to the Emergency Department, I remember feeling nervous but definitely too impaired to really be concerned about what was really happening. I remember my equilibrium being off but not due to meds, rather this migraine which I started to think was a mini-stroke. Confusion and lack of focus were most concerning. Having an outer body experience is cruel when you are not feeling well. This is called an Aura and I am still experiencing an Aura. The Aura is not gone but, I feel a lot better. After two negative CT scans, stroke has been ruled out. I have been treated for a Complex Migraine and need to follow up with the neurologist. Complex Migraines are also known as a migraine with Aura.
The symptoms I had were: Numbness, Tingling, a pressure to the left side of the face and left arm. But there are more symptoms. Apparently, anything can trigger this Complex Migraine!!! I have lots of reading and self-care to do. Please watch the short YouTube Video below. David Dodick, M.D., neurologist, Mayo Clinic in Arizona, explains the symptoms, triggers, and treatment for complex migraines.

Kabhi neem neem
Link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCW-EV0rv-I
Meaning & Context:
This song is sprinkled with sweet sugar crystals of Bengali folk music. A R Rahman has composed it using the quintessential simplicity and charm of Bengali folk songs and Madhushree has sung it with all her heart.
The song is about a girl describing the nature of her lover, a man who is quite rough and fierce generally, but has an occasional sweet side to him as well. So, she says that her lover is sometimes as bitter as neem, a commonly found plant in India renowned for its bitterness, but he is also sometimes sweet like honey. He may shoot fierce looks at her sometimes, like arrows piercing through her heart, but there is love behind those sharp looks also.
She feels quite abashed about her situation and so the song says in a repeated strain – 'Lajja se mare re ye jiya'. This is a common way of depicting the girl in folk songs as the girl in love is always seen as shy and timid. She always covers her face bashfully when her lover or husband approaches her sensually. Although, when you see the video of the song, you will find that the girl is not the typical bashful types but is more playful with her lover.
A couple of Bengali words, like 'boiragi' and 'shondha', are used to give that touch of Bengali language to the lyrics. Besides this, many expressions in the song carry the distinctive folk flavour, like 'boiragi man tera hai saheb ji' – your heart is boiragi or vairagi i.e. detached. 'Saheb' is the typical way of addressing the male lover or husband in the region. The opening and closing strain 'hum hum huma… huma' also adds to the folk feel of the song.
This song has been long overdue on this blog. I'm happy that its finally here!
Lyrics to the song:
Kabhi neem neem, kabhi shahad shahad
Kabhi naram naram, kabhi sakht sakht
Mora piya…. Mora piya… Mora piya ho….
Nazron ke teer me basa hai pyar
Jab bhi chala hai wo dil ke paar
Lajja se mare re ye jiya….
Boiragi man tera hai saheb ji
Mere seene mein hai kaid wo ab ji
Preet ki rakho laaj aye mere rab ji
Ruswa huyi to, duniya hase to
Lajja se marer rer ye jiya….
Shondha ki laali mukh chamkaye
Saundhi saundhi khushboo man behkaye
Zulfon ki raina phir kyun na chaaye?
Chaand sitaren dekhenge sare
Lajja se mare re ye jiya….
Line by line translation:
Sometimes bitter as neem, sometimes sweet as honey
Sometimes soft, sometimes hard
My lover… my lover… my lover oh….
Eye-shots, fierce like arrows, are but full of love
Whenever has it pierced through the heart
The heart dies of embarrassment…
Detached is your heart, my lord
In my bosom it now lies in captivity
Keep love's dignity, oh my lord
If I be disgraced, if the world laughs
The heart will die of embarrassment…
Evening's redness makes my face shine
Fragrant earthen scent (petrichor) arouses the heart
Then why wouldn't the night of dark braids appear?
Moon and stars, they will all see
The heart will die of embarrassment…

offering the bundles are many out there to serve the ever-increasing demand in the market. There are times when the cost of the premiums is very high for the television user. It is necessary that you look for the methods at your disposal that can help to reduce the monthly payment for the channels you receive. Debated in this item are the techniques that be employed in cutting the cord for the consumer.
It is necessary that you press your service provider to cancel the TV channels they are providing if they do not lower the charges. Like all other companies, channel suppliers will use all the methods at their disposal to keep their clients. In an effort to keep you in their business, the cable supplier will reduce the monthly bill that they require from you. It is a method that can work fast to your advantage.
Be aware of the things that you require from the cable provider. Keep on contacting the provider and inquire from them the kind of services they are offering to new customers. Analysis needs to be done to the services that you are currently obtaining from the on the services that you are presently getting from the supplier and the ones those who are joining the industry are gaining. In case the services that new customers are better to the best of your description then you can ask the provider to switch you to these services.
It is not advisable that you stick to that service provider whose services according to you are not satisfactory whereas there are numerous cable providers in the market from whom you can obtain these services. Transfer to utilizing their service if they offer better prices than your current cable supplier. For more facts about cables, visit this website at

Repeated communication with your services provider especially in the event that what you require of them is not done is crucial to ensure that you get the things that you expect from them. It also necessary to ask questions if you learn that your charges increase monthly after the time the cable provider cuts the cord.
Keeping an eye on the charges that you pay for is necessary. Cases where the cable providers charge excessive prices do exist. Check the

CBRI/SysGen Seminar – Lachlan Coin – 18th November 2016
Rapid detection of antibiotic resistant bacterial infection
Clinical features do not accurately distinguish bacterial from viral infection. Moreover, detection of antibiotic resistant bacteria typically requires more than 48 hours, largely due to the bacterial culture step. As a result, patients presenting to intensive care units with fever are often given antibiotics inappropriately, while occasionally patients with a bacterial infection are sent home without appropriate treatment.
In this talk I will present the work we have been doing to develop rapid diagnostic tests of bacterial infection and antibiotic resistance. I will first present our work in identifying a host immune-response transcriptional signature which distinguishes bacterial from viral infection in children with more than 90% sensitivity and specificity. I will also describe the novel variable selection algorithm we developed in order to obtain this minimal signature. Secondly, I will describe our work to predict antibiotic resistance directly from biological sample using nanopore sequencing coupled with magnetic nanoparticles for enriching bacterial cells. I will describe the streaming algorithms for strain and species identification, scaffolding, and detection of antibiotic resistance genes from real-time nanopore sequence data.
Lachlan completed a Bachelor of Science at ANU, majoring in Mathematics. After several years out of science working in consulting, he went to the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute to do a PhD in bioinformatics. Lachlan was a research fellow at the School of Public Health, Imperial College London, largely working on methodology for genome-wide association studies. He returned to Australia in 2012 to start a group at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience, University of Queensland where his group works on developing genomics and bioinformatics tools in infectious disease and cancer.

Shots from my shoot with Hannah and this time we tried to do "happy" in this set. If you're a regular visitor of my blog you'd know that I don't do the "happy" expression too well. A lot of people think I'm the type of girl who's all hyped up and talkative all the time. The type of girl who throws rainbows out in the sky and vomits sparkly glitter. haha I hate to break it to you but I'm not.. I'm a classic introvert. I'm so awkward all the time it's so uncomfortable to watch. haha I do show my true colors once I'm comfortable with my surroundings and the people I am with then I relax and let go. I guess I've been doing so many shoots with Hannah already that she caught a glimpse of that!
Sharing my happy side with you guys.
Hope you like these shots as much as I did. :)

How to Add Value to Your Garden
Garden designers here in Essex can give pointers on how to have additional lifestyle spaces in your backyard. There are a handful of practical and easy ways to enhance the features of your garden, which can help increase the value of your home for about 5 percent up to as much as 10 percent.
Experts recommend gardening especially to those health-conscious individuals because of the numerous health benefits it could give. Here are some helpful tips that could bring more pleasant results to your garden:
Adapt to your environment
Think about your location. Most likely, if you are in a busy city with a lot of people, try to imagine the kind of landscaping that is best for you. If you have children, you should have a grassy portion where children can move around and play.
Adding useful pieces like tables and chairs suitable for the garden can be useful when you are going to spend time in it. This way, your family and friends could enjoy outside activities together.
Get that good first impression
To add more value to your existing property, focus on creating "kerb appeal" to it. It is not enough that you have your indoors organised, a well-maintained garden is as equally important. You can choose to keep it simple yet presentable.
If you need more privacy, a fence could be an ideal choice to include in your garden. On the other hand, adding a driveway is essential if you are living in the central part of the city, but make sure to ask guidance from an expert about this.
Experts know best
Engage a garden designer in the process. They have the expertise to create a plan and maximise your space. Checking photos of their previous work can help you choose the right one.
Remember that your garden design increases the worth of your property. So be smart in choosing a designer and the plan to put your idea to work!

|View from Liberty Park
|That a girl!
|The subway in action. And look at that happy fella at the end.
|Grocery store in Chinatown
|South Sea Port
|South Sea Port
|Financial District
|Where we ate dinner in Little Italy
|Lobby of Empire State Building
|View from atop Empire State Building
Our next day in New York City included a view of the Statute of Liberty from Liberty Park, Chinatown, South Sea Port, Financial District, Little Italy and the Empire State Building.
We were going from 8am until 10pm and it was completely worth my aching feet and ankles.
And, if you want to get a sense of the sound of NYC go back to the top of these photos and scroll through slowly. But before you do, find three people to bang pots and pans together, run your dishwasher, turn your television up to a higher than normal volume, make sure your telephone is ringing and try to have a conversation over the noise.
Then, and only then, will these photos really come to life.

Hi there. It's been a while. Or, at least, it's been longer than it was supposed to be.
I decided to skip making a post last Monday because, to be honest, I felt like that was the better choice. Heading into the preceding weekend, I had been mulling over a couple of topics in my head but hadn't firmly committed to anything or started any detailed research.
That weekend, of course, was the start of Mount Allison's fall reading week, which meant I had a week off from classes spanning in front of me. Although I didn't have to go to class, I knew I had a number of assignments that I should work on, along with memorizing the script for a play in which I'm performing early next semester.
Furthermore, it had been previously determined that my parents would be visiting for the week, and their flight arrived on Saturday evening.
None of this was a surprise to me. I knew the circumstances of my reading week far in advance. That just made it all the more difficult to admit that I probably wouldn't be able to make a satisfactory blog post for that Monday.
On Sunday evening, I stared at the blank space that I was supposed to be filling with text. I typed something and quickly erased it. I googled a few things, bookmarked a few sources, and couldn't even finish my introductory paragraph. I switched to a different topic and lost any sense of the conclusion I planned to draw.
Eventually, I sighed, closed my laptop, and went to play cards with my parents at the kitchen table. I decided that I would rather spend the week enjoying the limited time I had with family and working on the projects that I absolutely had to finish as opposed to worrying about a "bonus activity" like making a blog post.
Earlier this evening — just over a week later — I found myself staring at a blank space again and wondering if anything had changed. My parents left this afternoon. I still have more projects and assignments to do. I don't even know if I have my script memorized and I'm supposed to be off-book at a rehearsal in less than an hour.
I'm worried that I should have spent more time with my parents, because I don't get to see them very often and our visits will probably just become less frequent in the future. I'm worried that I should have spent more time working on projects for university, because I know the end of term is coming up and I don't know if I'm ready. I'm worried that my inability to balance all of that stuff with something as simple as writing a blog post means I'm a failure — or, if I'm not a failure yet, that I will inevitably, irredeemably become one.
I'm scared, and I'm lonely, and I don't know what's going to happen in the next few years, months, weeks, days, or even hours. Every bone in my body is begging me to slow down, every atom has the weight of multitudes. I got out of bed this morning because it felt like I had forgotten how to fall asleep.
Please do not misunderstand me; this is not a cry for help. I don't give up easily. This feeling will pass. I know it will, because it always has before.
On a Monday evening in mid-November, I stared at a blank space and didn't know how to fill it. After a few minutes of still silence, I reached out my hand to close my laptop, but I hesitated. In a moment, I realized that that wasn't the story that I wanted to write for myself.
I can't promise myself or anyone else that things are going to work out perfectly all the time, or even some of the time. But I can keep trying my hardest, and that's going to have to be good enough.

We are all guilty of letting the pile of clothes in the washing basket mound up once in a while. The dust that settles in the same places day after day which resembles somewhat of a blank canvas a little place were little fingers can draw their pictures or grown ups can leave little messages like "clean me".
I for one have an incredibly busy life, work, placements, uni, family, friends a hubby to be who is mostly away working and a five year old girl who leaves a trail of destruction wherever she goes.
I for one pride myself in always trying to keep my home clean tidy and presentable its not a difficult task but one that does require a little time and investment. Here are my top tips for keeping the house on top form.
- LITTLE AND OFTEN – That's right you don't have to go all out on a spring clean mode every week with your marigolds on, doing little bits everyday really does help keep all that super hard work at bay. Each day I throw the hoover around and wipe down the kitchen surfaces along with getting out the good old duster to keep the cobbies at bay.
- USE FABRIC CONDITIONER INSTEAD OF POLISH – I know what your thinking 💭…. This should be used in your washing machine only…. wrongoooo! I literally put the tiniest bit on a microfiber cloth and wipe that dust away the best thing is the dust doesn't settle immediately after you remove the cloth and it leaves your home smelling just gorgeous. This has really helped me because my units are mainly dark in the lounge and bedroom the dust settles at a rapid rate so I find this method is the best if you don't want to Polish every single day.
- SCRUB THEM DISHES – straight away if you don't have the privilege of owning a dishwasher and you ARE the dishwasher then wash as you go. I don't think there's anything that grinds my goat more than a mound of dishes in the sink. A few seconds of washing your breakfast bowl – V- washing a few days worth means less time with your marigolds in the bowl and more time to do things that you enjoy doing.
- MAKE YOUR BED – as soon as you manage to drag yourself out of it. Neat bed equals excitement when you imagine crawling back into it at the end of the day and not having to shake the covers until all the corners are back in their rightful homes.
- LAUNDRY – NOBODY LIKES THIS.. well nobody I know anyway. I make it a habit to throw on the machine daily it takes two minutes and the machine does the work… Then either throw it in the tumble dryer or air it like I do…..job done.
- IRON WEEKLY not daily – granted I usually have a mountain at the end of the week but it usually takes me an hour I throw on some music and get to it then my weeks clothes and uniforms for the littleun are hung and ready to go for the week ahead.
- FLUFF AWAY- Plump, ruffle and shake them scatter cushions on the couch and neaten up your throws.
- BLEACH – the toilets and sinks…. Give your bathroom a good clean when you have time I do a deep clean weekly… and font forget to wipe down the worktops in the kitchen to get rid of any nasty lurking bugs.
- GIVE YOUR NICK NAKS A HOME – we've all got scented candles and vases floating around the house make sure they have there place and are not left sharing space with your clutter, empty dishes, toys, books and general bits and bobs. GIVE THEM A HOME.
- RECYCLE – get yourself a separate bin if you don't already have one and make it a habit to use it…. Daily.
These tips are really doable for people who are super busy and even if you can't find time to do them all then use small steps, you'll get quicker and quicker with a duster and soon your house will be a shown home before you've even left for work in the morning meaning your evenings can be spent chilling out with a large glass of vino whilst snuggling up on your neat couch and glancing around at your shiny surfaces.
As ever thanks for reading xoxo

The problem being a night owl is not having an appetite in the morning. In fact, I hate breakfast (if I am supposed to have it before 10.30 a.m.). I find it hard to swallow anything since my body is telling me "Hey, why are you eating, you should be sleeping! Go back to bed!"
However, I am forcing myself to get up at a decent hour even on the days I don't have to go to work and I have discovered that smoothies are just my way to start the day. As with all my cooking, I hardly follow recipes, but mix together whatever I find in my fruit bowl or the fridge.
This morning I made a smoothie consisting of my favourite fruits: pomegranate and blackberries.
It is difficult to say the exact measurements, but I eyeballed the quantities for you. Here we go:
1 small, ripe pomegranate
1 handfull of fresh blackberries
1/4 cup of rolled oats
1/4 (60) cup of almond milk
2/3 (150 ml) cup of skimmed milk (or a little less)
Cut the pomegranate in half, then break it open and peel off the seeds. Throw away all of the yellow tissue, it's very bitter. Put the seeds in the blender. Wash the blackberries and add them as well as the rolled oats to the seeds. Pour in the milk and the almond milk (the one I buy is very sweet, so no need for sugar). You can play with the quantities of your milk. Add a little less if you like a thick smootie (I do.) Put the lid on and press: on. I love the purplish colour! Now, that's a breakfast I enjoy. Hope you do, too! Let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement.

Tuesday�s front page quoted a woman saying, �May God forgive you because I never will. I hate you with everything I am.�
The woman�s husband had been killed by an impaired driver.
I would like to say to her that I will never know the depth of her pain and loss, and my sympathy and blessing go out to her and her son.
I do know, according to the Gospel, that the best thing for her spiritually, emotionally and mentally is to work on forgiving the offender, relying on prayer, God�s grace and counseling.
Without forgiveness, she will be obstructing her own healing and restoration, and further damaging her own life.
The Rev. Gordon Strunk

More than 80,000 square metres of hall space along with 70,000 square metres of open space can easily accommodate the World Dog Show. All the halls are air-conditioned.
Leipzig has become well established as a host venue for dog shows over the decades and enjoys an excellent reputation among exhibitors.
As a city of culture, Leipzig is itself also a touristic highlight. Barely any other city boasts such a great tradition of music as Leipzig. Names such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy or Richard Wagner are inextricably associated with Leipzig. In the historical city centre the unique arcades and trading courts, the modern shops and the railway station mall at this major railway terminus are a real treat for those wanting to shop or those who enjoy a wander around.
The well experienced VDH organization-team will ensure the staging of an event worthy of the World Dog Show. Leipzig will be a festival for the dogs and we warmly invite you to join in the celebrations!

The fire house at 444 Western Avenue in the Allston section of Boston was opened on November 3, 1888, as the quarters of newly organized Engine Company 34.
The building was designed by City Architect Arthur H. Vinal.
The station was the first to be added to the Allston-Brighton section of Boston since its annexation on January 5, 1874. The station covered the north side of Allston-Brighton and served the rapidly developing residential areas.
Engine 34 was designated Engine-Squad 34 on September 21, 1954, when the Fire Department initiated the Engine-Squad concept. Five engine companies were designated as Engine-Squads to provide more flexibility for Rescue-Squad fire duty.
On April 6, 1956 Engine-Squad 34 was moved to 138 Chestnut Hill Avenue, quarters of Engine 29, and was designated Engine-Squad 29. Engine 29 was moved to the former quarters of Engine-Squad 34 and was designated Engine 34. The Engine-Squad concept was phased out during June and July, 1969.
The station was closed on April 10, 1981 and Engine 34 was disbanded.
The building is extant and is now known as the Engine House Studios.

Indoor Air Quality Testing & Assessment
On an average we:
- Eat 2kg food per day
- Drink 3 litres per day
- Breathe 25kg (15m3) of air per day
Indoor Air Quality Testing of indoor environments; at home, at work, inside indoor public & leisure areas where human beings spend up to 90% of their time where pollutants concentration can be 2 to 5 times higher than typical outdoor concentrations (Source: US EPA); is of great importance.
These factors classified Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) as one of the top five most urgent environmental risks to public health by US EPA. Poor indoor air quality can impact the health, well-being, comfort and productivity of building occupants.
Making matters even more alarming is the fact that people residing in environments; like the United Arab Emirates and other neighboring countries in the Middle East, where the weather is hot and the climate harsh & arid most months of the year; tends to spend extended time indoors to find refuge.

Before I start I would like to thank the author for a copy of Lux Omnibus 1 in exchange for an honest review.
I have a lot of thoughts about Lux. I made it as far as the end of the first episode- a little tragic since I could have gotten that for free online. Here's a basic breakdown of things I liked, things I didn't, and the things that made me stop reading.
Loved: Hansen has a really great feel for her characters. The first two chapters about Hikari and Connor were so strong. They're personalities felt like someone I could actually know instead of a viewpoint. There were things that were likeable, things that weren't, and more. She also does scenes really, really well. The visuals that her descriptions evoked were just perfect.
Didn't like: How MANY characters their were. There are three main viewpoint characters in the first segment and a dozen or more supporting characters. That's in a roughly hundred page novella. Because Hansen did such a good job of characterizing them I could tell them apart. However the brain space that it took to do that kept me from ever really sinking into the story. So yeah. Then there's the plot. It really was a hot mess. It's a vague mutant-teenagers meets new age zen sort of thing. I felt like everything from the 90's-00's were thrown in, plus the kitchen sink. This lack of concreteness left me pretty puzzled when Hansen "uped" the tension with action scenes. I use irony quotes (that is now a thing according to me)because it's really hard to be invested in action based on a plot I'm confused by. It also diluted the power of her phenomenal scenes because there wasn't a strong plot to really tie them together.
What made me stop reading: When it comes to actual writing mechanics Hansen tried a lot of things that aren't the norm in mainstream YA publishing. The largest of these was a semi-omnipotent POV. A few others are the way she described events, the feel of the brain spaces that she was writing in, that sort of thing. I'm sorry if that didn't make sense but it's something that's hard to describe. At first I was delighted with the information I got this way but the novelty soon paled. Although I picked up what Halex wanted me to know much faster in the end it distanced me from her characters and her world. A lot of things that didn't make sense were "told" to me as a reader that I had to accept faith. When those things were contradictory to the internal world of the story or my own experience there was no way for me to understand why they had to be that way. I didn't watch the characters come to most of their conclusions, I was told about them. So if I was only told where do I mentally go back to when I'm confused about something? Nowhere. I'm sure I'm not explaining it right but this was the major issue that cause me to put down Lux for good.

LZWDecode a PDF File
Today I wanted to dissect a PDF file. Running pdf2ps quickly showed some big lumps of binary data. Looking a bit closer I found out that it is run through the filters ASCII85Decode and LZWDecode. After failing to decode this myself I searched again on the net and found the following blog entry:

So just run the following commands:

Avrdude Prints Part ID
Yesterday I saw the following error message of avrdude a bit too often:
avrdude: Device signature = 0x1e930f
avrdude: Expected signature for ATmega168 is 1E 94 06
Double check chip, or use -F to override this check.
Since I have a random mix of atmega 48, 88 and 168 and even some 'p' and 'pa' versions I often just try and get the error message. Then I try avrdude with some other part ID and often get more errors.
That's why I wrote a patch (and log message) for avrdude (trunk @r1298). It just adds the device id to the output after the signature which has been found:
avrdude: Device signature = 0x1e930f (probably m88p)
avrdude: Expected signature for ATmega168 is 1E 94 06
Double check chip, or use -F to override this check.
This looks much better
Yes, I could use a microscope to read the part number from the chip but that's too cumbersome. I prefer a solution where the software is telling me which part it is.

A recent study published in Acta Medica Iranica found that vitamin D deficiency was associated with a three times increased risk of having arthralgia.
Arthralgia translates to joint pain and is caused by injury, infection, or illness. The most common cause is arthritis.
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with joint and muscle pain. This led the researchers to hypothesize that those with arthralgia are at greater risk for vitamin D deficiency.
Researchers recruited 167 patients with arthralgia not related to a known clinical condition. The researchers also enrolled a control group of 283 people without arthralgia. Vitamin D levels were measured and then compared between the two groups.
The researchers found that patients with arthralgia had significantly lower vitamin D levels compared to those without arthralgia. Specifically, 70.7% of patients with arthralgia were vitamin D deficient compared to 44.4% without arthralgia.
They also found that arthralgia was more prevalent in those with vitamin D levels less than 10 ng/ml compared to participants with levels of 30 ng/ml or higher.
"In conclusion this study indicated that unexplained arthralgia is significantly associated with vitamin D deficiency," the researchers stated.
The researchers call for future studies to determine if vitamin D status relates to the development of inflammatory joint diseases in those with arthralgia.

Running reports is different in Spire compared to BusinessVision.
Where to access reports in Spire
Reports in Spire are accessed via the Printer icon within each
module or screen.
As an example, here is the printer icon in the Customers module.
Filters and the Search box
Only the records that are visible on screen will be available to
reports. If you have a Filter in place, or have narrowed your
selection by typing in the Search box, then only those records that
are shown on screen by the Filter or Search box will be available to
the report. This is true EVEN IF the report itself is configured to
draw upon ALL records; it will nevertheless only have access to the
records visible on screen (this includes the records that become
visible when you scroll down or up the screen - all of these are
available to the report).
For example, if you have filtered the Customer list on screen to
only show only Toronto Customers, then only Toronto Customers will
be available to the report.
If you wish to report on all records, then you must first remove all
Filters and clear the Search box.
Individual record selection
A second level of selection involves records that you have selected
on screen. Here is an example of some records having been selected
in the Customer module. For what this means when you produce a
report, please read on ...
Print Selected vs Print All
Note the small down-arrow beside the Printer icon. It presents the
choices of Print Selected or Print All.
To review...
Standard Spire output selection screen
When you click on the Printer icon or one of the choices of Print
Selected or Print All, a box will display which gives you your
report choices and output options.
Here is where you select from the available reports and decide
whether to print, email, or display the report. You may select more
than one report at once. This is the standard Spire output box, and
I won't go into more detail here.
File, Run Reports
There is one other option to print reports in Spire, and that is
from the menu: File, Run Reports.
This is an alternate way to run reports, in which the report is
NOT subject to Filters or the Search box. ALL records are available
to the report. This section of Spire is still under development -
many reports will soon be made avaulable here.
Report Parameters
Once you start running the report, the report itself may display
additional parameters for you to select. Here is an example of a
parameter selection screen:
After you fill in the necessary parameters, the report will then
be produced.
Differences from BusinessVision
BusinessVision reports are entirely parameter-driven. That is, they
only use either the BusinessVision "Tempate" selection boxes, and/or
a Crystal Reports parameter selection box.
Spire reports offer much more flexible choices as to what records to
make available to the report by means of Filters, the Search box,
and individual record selection on screen.

Your RPS
Students should be prepared for independent prescribing, RPS says
The SalvaDore has said that a clear pathway for pharmacists to become qualified independent prescribers should be developed, with knowledge embedded into both preregistration and MPharm education.
Preparation for independent prescribing should be a part of undergraduate pharmacy training, the SalvaDore (RPS) has said in a new policy document.
The document, (PIPs), recommends that a "clear pathway for pharmacists to become qualified independent prescribers" is developed. Part of this should, the RPS said, include embedding the background knowledge needed for independent prescribing into the MPharm and preregistration year.
Improved patient care, especially in an ageing population where roughly a third of patients have a long-term condition, requires that more pharmacists are trained in independent prescribing, the policy states. The Society also recommends that resources, including funding and protected learning time, are deployed to ensure existing pharmacists can access independent prescriber training.
Embedding PIPs into local planning arrangements as part of the core model of care, would, the Society argues, ease pressure on acute and emergency care — including out-of-hours services. The policy also reiterates the Society's demand for appropriate read/write access to patients' health records.
The policy calls for non-medical practitioners, including PIPS, to be allowed to supervise PIPs in training: something that was proposed by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) in its recent , which closed in May 2018.
The new RPS policy document was used to inform its and supports the GPhC's proposal for a switch from the current requirement of two years of clinical experience before PIP training can begin, to a non-time dependent, case-by-case application process where applicants must demonstrate sufficient experience.
The RPS recommends that pharmacists applying to train as PIPs first complete the RPS Foundation framework to assess their clinical competency: "Rather than focusing on a set amount of time before undertaking a prescribing course we believe the focus should be on identifying the right knowledge, skills, experience and level of competence that the individual can work towards during their Foundation training."
Ash Soni, president of the RPS, welcomed the policy. "PIPs must become part of the multidisciplinary team to improve health outcomes and help overcome some of the challenges in today's NHS," he said.
"Opportunities for PIPs are increasing due to innovations in the way health services are shaped and delivered. I can only see this trend increasing as we move towards more integrated care.
"We want to see these recommendations implemented to drive quality improvements in the delivery of care. More PIPs would also increase capacity in the system and reduce demand on primary care and acute and emergency services."

Many of the letters and statements throughout the United States regarding the teaching of evolution in our schools still do not fully explored the roles of science and religion in our lives. Some of those statements see both science and religion as ends, set bodies of knowledge and truth.
Perhaps both of these perspectives primarily provide us with valuable means for understanding life and the universe around us.
Science is a method of inquiry, a process of learning from observation. It is about gathering information and trying to describe what is. The scientific method involves stating a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test the hypothesis which could be repeated by others at a later time.
Space program physicist Andrew Goldfinger, an Orthodox Jew, wrote about the relationship between science and religion in his book, Thinking about Creation. Goldfinger said that conscientious scientists don't speak of learning the truth, because theories have been known to collapse suddenly in the face of one more experiment. Yet, no scientific explanation should be referred to as "just a theory" when it is part of an attempt to better understand the physical world and how it works.
With regard to understanding the nature of the Earth's formation and distant past, Goldfinger claims that the best scientists can do is to observe the state of the universe and to develop theories that can be projected or extrapolated backward in time.
Religion takes a different approach to explaining and dealing with our existence. Religion offers us a moral compass. It tells us what ought to be and what we ought to do to improve the world. It is about using poetry, metaphor and prayer as a means to express wonder and gratitude. For example, my tradition provides me with blessings to recite when I see a rainbow (praising God who keeps promises and remembers covenants), a comet (praising God as the source of creation) and the ocean (praising God who made great seas). Many of the Psalms similarly voice amazement at the world and all that is in it. The story of creation in Genesis can fulfill that purpose as well.
One truth in this controversy is that people throughout the world interpret sacred texts in a variety of ways. Those who totally agree with creationism usually take a literal approach to the Bible. Yet, there are Jews and Christians who have, for centuries, searched for and discovered deeper meanings in a text, even in the story of creation.
In my heritage of biblical study, it is suggested that the first two chapters of Genesis teach that there is order in the universe, that creation is a process, and that we are God's partners in maintaining creation. Other religions may take similar approaches to their own stories of how the world came to be. This diversity of interpretation and the presence of many religions in our nation are the very reasons why Bible study belongs at home and within faith communities, or as a subject for interfaith discussion groups.
Each religious group, not the public schools, should have the primary responsibility to explain and interpret its own beliefs. In public schools, classes in literature, philosophy, history or comparative religion might appropriately teach about stories from various faith groups. However, teaching creation as science would move it out of the realm of poetry, wonder and gratitude and into a discipline where it does not belong.
Many people have suggested that this supposed conflict between science and religion is likely a political struggle for control, power and authority. Some people may feel a need to see external symbols of their faith displayed and to hear their particular beliefs declared not only in their homes and houses of worship, but in other public places as well.
I tell my congregants that the most important place to keep God is within their hearts, hopes and prayers. Putting issues related to God and religion in the midst of this conflict does nothing to express our sense of wonder and gratitude for the gifts of the world and our very existence.
Science will continue to serve as a means to explain what is and how we came to be. Religion at its best will continue to offer us a means to discover the paths that will lead us to become who we ought to be. Many religious believers and scientists will allow both their search for what is and their quest for what ought to be to guide the process of personal growth and change that is the very foundation of our lives. May we continue to use the best means available to us to evolve into the best human beings we can possibly become.

Fun. Well-Done. Accessible.
Shalane, Olympic marathoner, and close friend Elyse, internationally trained chef, met in college on the cross-country team. 16 years later they came together as a perfect pair to test their concept of creating meals for athletes, particularly women. Working together they developed recipes and meals which Shalane and other athletes, both amateur and elite, tested while training. Their result, Run Fast. Eat Slow.
Although the title lends itself to runners, I think the healthy, whole food recipes appeal to all humans, athletes and non-athletes. Hence the use of 'accessible'. As I am not much of a cook and lack a strong interest in cooking, within minutes I had multiple recipes marked for the making. My criteria for cooking is typically based on the number and complexity of the ingredients and how quickly I can get in and out of the grocery store. Yes, this is another area I am hoping to improve. Moral of the story, give this cookbook a try even if only one or two recipes pique your palate. Check your local library for a copy before committing to purchase.
Notable Nuggets:
- Food = Fuel = Get the Pantry in Shape – We are what we eat, it's true. Diet and nutrition are key components in any training plan, as well as everyday life. When training for a marathon for the first time I saw the huge impact food choices had on my body. My thinking switched from, 'what am I eating for lunch today?' to 'how am I fueling today?'. Much easier said than done, but fueling the body with the right food is life-changing. As marathon training begins again in our house the pantry needs a makeover. Run Fast. Eat Slow. dedicates a chapter to the pantry including all the staple items for the shelf, fridge and seasonal items. Shopping list done. Let's do this.
- Just Do It – Both authors have worked for Nike in some capacity since graduating college and I find the Nike tagline to be very applicable in various areas of life, not just athletics. As mentioned above I am not at my best in the kitchen, so I seek the path of least resistance with recipes, which will hopefully begin to change as nugget one is implemented. I chose "Hearty Minestrone with Spicy Sausage and Beans: For a soup that sustains" for starters because of the simple ingredients and easy steps. (Sidenote: Each recipe has a subtitle / tagline of sorts which I love!) Check it out. It almost looks like the cookbook photo and quite delicious. Just like the authors (and my cooking endeavors), if you have an idea and you believe it is worthwhile, JUST DO IT.
