Before attending an interview preparation is paramount. Gather some background information on the company, request a company brochure or investigate the company on the internet.
Do not smoke 15 minutes prior to your interview. Whatever your experience of interviews so far in your career, in general, there are certain guidelines.
The importance of making a good first impression cannot be overstated. Ensure that you are well presented, punctual and friendly. A firm handshake and a smile are good openers. Attitude is important, even if you have reservations about attending, be positive. The position may turn out to be exactly what you want. You can always turn down a position, but you can not retrieve an interview if you fail to give the best of yourself.
Never sit back and expect your experience / qualifications alone to secure employment. Personality is at least as important. Be confident, honest and open. It is vital to enjoy the interview as much as possible. If you do, the chance is that the interviewer will too and you will stand a better chance of getting the job, having built up a good rapport. Remember to be confident about experience you have gained, but don't attempt to say that you have more experience than you really have. Know your CV and be prepared to answer questions about your current and previous employers as well as about you as an individual.
Prepare to answer commonly asked questions such as:
Avoid the temptation to ramble and if you don't understand the question ask the interviewer to either re-phrase or repeat the question. If asked a question you don't know the answer to then just say so. Be aware of your own body language, sit up straight (leaning forward implies interest), smile and use eye contact with all interviewers. Project enthusiasm throughout and 'smile'.
Prepare your questions well in advance, ensuring they are positive, relevant and knowledgeable. Use this time to impress with your preparation and clear up any questions you have. If you are not sure about any parts of the job or about the company – ask!
If you are asked whether you are interested in the position - unless you are very definitely NOT - always answer yes. Try to impress on the interviewer that you have enjoyed your meeting and are interested in taking things further. Thank the interviewer for their time and shake hands.
Do not criticise your current, previous employers or appear unnecessarily confrontational. Be yourself and you will appear confident and relaxed. It is imperative that you prepare questions for your Interviewer it shows you have truly thought about the role and the company. By all means ask around to find out more about a company but be prepared to make your own mind up, do not turn down opportunities on hearsay, find out for yourself. Consider all the opportunities, get more information, weigh up all the pros and cons and think of the long term.

Don't Take Anything Personally
This is part 3 of a 5-part series based on the work of Don Miguel Ruiz in The Voice of Knowledge and The Four Agreements.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Reputation is what others perceive you as being, and their opinion may be right or wrong. Character, however, is what you really are, and nobody truly knows that but you. But you are what matters most.
What John Wooden meant with this quote was don't take anything personally. It is a simple mantra, but it can often be hard to do. Reflect on the last week of your life and identify the times where you were frustrated or upset. How many of those times were the result of something another person said or did and you took it personally and made it all about you?
I don't know about you, but quite a few of those times I was frustrated in the last week were from some form or another of taking things personally. The second agreement from Don Miguel Ruiz in writing your own story is "don't take anything personally" and it can provide you with peace in the middle of the chaos of this world.
Let's look at an example from a common childhood experience:
A classmate insults you, so you insult them back. When the teacher questions you about what happened, you each say the other person started it and keep going back to previous insults to prove that you had a good reason for making your insult. This still happens in the adult world but in different language. When we take things personally we are hurt so we create emotional poison and our typical response is to get even. We do this by using the word against others because the word is so powerful.
But what is at the root of all this? Fear. We are afraid that people won't like us. We are afraid people will think bad about us. We are afraid we will have a poor reputation.
When we cater to our reputation we create a social mask and then we are forced to maintain our reputation. We are afraid that people will see us for who we truly are; so we take things personally and attempt to defend our reputation.
But here is the key principle to help us not take things personally: nothing other people do is ever because of you; it is always because of them and the story they are creating in their own lives. Understanding that what other people say and do is a result of their own level of fear or love for themselves is a game-changer. And if there is ever a discrepancy between what someone says and what they do, we are fools to not believe their actions over their words. But before we get too far ahead of ourselves, we need to flip that around and use it to help ourselves.
While it is important to understand the concept that other people only say or do things because of themselves, remember we can only write our own story. By looking in the mirror and understanding that everything we say or do is also a reflection our own level of fear or love can give us pause. When we don't take things personally and let go of the need to protect our reputation we regain our freedom to follow our integrity and only believe the things that we know are true. We cannot always control the things around us or what other people say, but we can always control the story we write. The responsibility is always on us. We are never responsible for the actions of others; we are only responsible for ourselves. This means that it is more important to trust ourselves to make the right choices than it is to trust others.
When we gain awareness of this wisdom and begin to enforce boundaries in our lives some people will become upset because they can no longer manipulate us. When we have friends or acquaintances who end a relationship or make a decision that forces us to end the relationship, it can hurt and create emotional pain. Remember, our emotions are real, but they are the reaction. If we want to change the reaction, then we need to change the action and the action is the choice we make of what to believe. When we choose to believe we each write our own story and we don't need to take anything personally, then we are free to live in our integrity. If someone is not treating us with love and respect or trying to manipulate us, then it is actually a gift if they choose to end the relationship.
When we keep this agreement with ourselves to not take anything personally then we can always follow our heart and reveal the character that we possess. And no matter what happens around us or what people say or do, we have the power to choose what we believe. We can always rise above the noise and find peace.
Action Steps:
#1 This week when you have a conflict or are frustrated, search the situation and see if you are taking something personally. Remember that everything people say or do is not about you, it is about themselves.
#2 If you find yourself saying or doing hurtful things, seek to understand whether they are the result of the fear to create or maintain your reputation.
In part 4 we will look at the third agreement which is don't make assumptions.
Part 1: Write Your Own Story
Part 2: Always Be Impeccable with Your Word
Part 3: Don't Take Anything Personally
Part 4: Don't Make Assumptions
Part 5: Always Do Your Best

Just like everyone else in the sports world, Kristaps Porzingis has a rooting interest in the massive Canelo-GGG fight on Saturday. The difference between you and the New York Knicks forward, though, is that Porzingis can pick a side and then go meet that fighter personally to wish him luck.
Porzingis posted a photo on Instagram on Friday that made it clear he's taken a side in the huge boxing match between Caneo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin set for Saturday night in Las Vegas. The Knicks star, who it appears will remain a Knicks star for the foreseeable future, even got some memorabilia out of the deal.
The photo appears to have been taken in New York, as there are Knicks logos in the background, but it was a clear sign that Porzingis has a dog in the fight on Saturday.

On Wednesday 12th February, two of our transition year classes travelled to the Susliving Demonstration Centre in Kingsriver in Kilkenny to take part in three sustainable living workshops.
In our first workshop our eyes were opened to the various ways of conserving energy in our homes. We learned about the types of sustainable fuel sources available and about how we use renewable resources to heat our homes. Methods such as solar panels, windmills and geothermal heating were all viable options to heat our homes. Tech Mentors Gary and Kevin demonstrated how heat can be kept in our homes by using more environmentally sound options such as cellulose insulation and triple glazed windows. An interesting point we learned was that sheep wool is sometimes thrown away by farmers but in fact it is very useful for insulation.
One of our favourite parts of the day was taking a visit to the boiler house which stored the wood pellet burner which was a cosy break to the cold, blustery day outside. The design was impressive and the amount of heat generated felt like we were in a sauna!
Tech Mentor Elmer got our hands dirty as we learned more about biodiversity, food production and waste. He demonstrated how to compost correctly using fruit, vegetable peelings, leaves, soil and grass. Most people don't know how to arrange the compost properly and so they end up with a sloppy mixture. Elmer gave us examples of how to mix our compost to ensure plants grow properly. We also planted mint plants in the soil and learned that some of us must learn the basics of planting, like that we must take the plant out of the pot before replating! Meanwhile a hen and a goose looked on as we made out rookie errors.
Our most hands on task came near the end when Tech Mentors Gary and Zaki demonstrated how we can construct more environmentally friendly homes. Mud and straw were combined to make a type of brick to use in the building of walls. Some of use made wattle and daub type walls similar to what is used in Africa. The red clay like exterior and woven willow branches were fun to make.
Overall it was an engaging experience which broadened our knowledge of the practical steps we can make in our school and homes to live more sustainable lives.
– Mohammed Taz & Luke McHugh

Thousands of people including Prof Samdhong Rinpoche, the prime minister of Tibetan government in-exile, abbots and Rinpoches of the Tibetan monasteries in South India, representatives of the Tibetan communities and other top oficials also attended the ceremony. Namdrol-ling is one of the largest Tibetan Nyingma universities to offer Khenpo (Tibetan: Uma and Pharshin) philosophy courses. The graduating class have studied there for nine years, focusing on the Madhyamike and Prajñaparamita.
Namdroling was established by His Holiness Pema Norbu Rinpoche shortly after he came to India from Tibet. His Holiness the Dalai Lama consecrated the spot and bequeathed the name "Namdroling Monastery." Today the monastery is home to nearly 5000 monks and nuns, and is renowned as a center for the pure upholding of the teachings of the Buddha. Each year students of outstanding scholarship and wisdom graduate after completing the nine-year course. The standard of training they receive is extremely high and those graduates who are selected to become Khenpos are then sent to teach in different Nyingmapa monasteries and centers.

I've always been drawn to Free People, thanks to my mom's influence! She grew up in the 70s so Free People's boho style is very relatable to her. There's one thing we don't agree on though--cold weather. FPs's cold weather clothes are definitely stuff that I would wear if I had unlimited money to spend.
While shopping for Seattle clothes, a turtleneck top sort of caught my eye as it reminded me of Kendal Jenner. I know, I know, she's a model and she can pull anything off but guess what, I bet you everyone can pull of that trend! I bought the top by the way, but more on that later.
Another one of my fall must-haves is a saddle bag...or perhaps, English saddle colored bags. I got mine last summer and I love that the style carries over to fall. I really love these ones bags from Madewell that Shopbop carries which you can for 25% less in the next few days by using the code INTHEFAM25! You can also click here for more details about the sale.

When I went through my life coach training last year, we were encouraged to choose a niche for our coaching services.
I struggled with this idea.
Partially it's because I have a wide range of interests and the idea of just working in one niche sounded boring to me.
But there was another reason as well.
I came up with several ideas for potential coaching niches that interested me. And deep down I knew that there was a common thread among these niches.
But whenever I tried to articulate what that common thread was, I couldn't do it.
The words to express what I wanted to say, what I wanted to offer to the world, simply weren't there.
Once my coaching classes were finished, I still hadn't nailed down my niche.
But I plowed forward anyway.
At first, I tried offering three different niches. Later, I decided to focus on just one of them.
Still, in my heart and soul, I knew something was missing.
I knew that I wasn't properly articulating what I wanted to offer.
Having read a lot of books on positive psychology and on happiness, I knew that helping people lead happier lives was a component of what I was looking for.
But it wasn't the whole thing.
I don't remember having an epiphany.
But somewhere along the way, what I had been struggling to articulate for over a year, crystallized in my thoughts and my words.
What I wanted to do was help people lead more meaningful lives.
Lives that mattered. Lives that felt significant. Lives that were connected to their most important values.
This, though, left some important questions unanswered.
What exactly is a meaningful life? And how is it similar and how is it different from a happy life? Those are the questions I want to attempt to answer in this post.
Fortunately, for my purposes, there have been a few recent studies that have focused directly on these questions.
What Is A Happy Life?
A happy life is generally focused on pleasure, on feeling good, on subjective well-being.
Happy people tend to have more pleasant than unpleasant emotions and have a positive overall assessment of their lives.
Research shows that happiness is strongly associated with seeing life as easy, pleasant, and free from difficult or troubling events.
Happiness is also associated with being in good health and feeling well most of the time.
What Is A Meaningful Life?
A meaningful life, on the other hand, is generally tied to something bigger than oneself, whether making a contribution to society, belonging to a community or social group, or cultivating deep relationships.
People who lead meaningful lives feel that their life has purpose and value and a sense of direction.
What Are Some Important Differences Between Happy Lives And Meaningful Lives?
Obviously, many people who lead meaningful lives also feel happy.
Similarly, many people who lead happy lives also feel that their life has meaning.
That being said, researchers have identified some interesting differences between happy and meaningful lives.
- Time Orientation: Happiness is generally a present oriented experience. Meaningfulness, on the other hand, involves focusing on the relationship between the past, the present, and the future.
- Giving vs. Taking: Happy people were more likely to identify themselves as "takers" whereas "givers" reported higher levels of meaning in their lives.
- Relationships: Spending time with friends tends to be linked more with happiness whereas spending time with loved ones and cultivating deep relationships is related to experiencing more meaning in life.
- Self-Expression: Engaging in activities that allow for self-expression tends to be strongly associated with meaning, but not with happiness.
- Satisfying Needs and Wants: Health, wealth, ease in life are all associated with happiness, but not with meaning. Interestingly, people from wealthier countries tend to be happier whereas people from poorer countries tend to experience more meaning in their lives.
- Stress: Meaningful lives tend to be more stressful than happy lives because meaningfulness often involves pursuing engaging and challenging goals.
- Duration: Happiness tends to be fleeting whereas a sense of meaning tends to last longer.
Can One Be Happy Without Meaning And Vice Versa?
Despite these differences, many people are able to lead lives that are filled with both meaning and happiness. Researchers have, however, identified subgroups of people who have one without the other.
People who are happy, but lack meaning in their lives, lead relatively shallow, self-oriented lives, in which needs and desires are easily satisfied, and difficult situations are avoided.
On the other hand, pursuing a life of meaning is no guarantee of happiness, likely because a meaningful life can be characterized by stress, struggle, and difficult undertakings.
For example, being a parent can be an incredibly meaningful and rewarding experience while also producing stress, frustration, and other negative emotions.
Finally, there are some interesting health benefits to leading a meaningful life.
Having a meaning level equal to or greater than your happiness level is associated with a stronger immune system function, less reactivity to stress, less insulin resistance, higher HDL/good cholesterol levels, better sleep, and brain activity patterns that are linked to decreased levels of depression.
On the other hand, people who have happiness without meaning have been found to have the same gene expression patterns as people who are responding to and enduring chronic adversity.
In the end, you probably can have BOTH happiness and meaningfulness in your life.
But if you're going to pursue just one, I'd suggest that pursuing a meaningful life should be your focus.
Meaningfulness lasts longer, has clear health benefits, and is more rewarding.
Plus, in my humble opinion, the world really needs more people who are focused on something greater than themselves.
(NOTE: If you or someone you know needs help in building more meaning into your life, feel free to contact me. And remember that my coaching services always start with a free consultation.)

Having replayed this game numerous times I have come to wonder about the choices in romantic partners in this game. A bad boy who breaks people's hearts and (apparently) changes with the power of love? Check. A mischevious kid who plays pranks and likes to throw water balloons at people? Check again. An older, grumpy man who's also more cultured and intelligent than most of the world's population? Check please!
Speaking of grumpy old men, what's up with Hieronymous anyway? And who on Earth names their children Hieronymous nowadays? Well, okay, some parents would in Greece and Germany apparently, but what British father would name their children that? The family name Grabiner, though unfortunate, can be excused seeing as it is a surname, but …Read more >
I've replayed this game at least 17 times, twice in which I ended up with Damien in the end, twice where he got angry with me and said I had to chose between him and the other person, twice where I told him we couldn't be friends and once where I ended up losing all of my magic because I decided to speak to Professor Potsdam about letting him come back to the academy and once where I ended up mistakenly married to Professor Grabiner and he says that someone else has "taken the prize".
Every time I tell him I made plans with someone else at that crucial point where he confesses that he loves me he forcibly demands that I drop them and whoever else I was dating. He tries to take all of my magic, and one of the endings with him ends up with my…Read more >

On the bell curve my life would be about average. My math ability would be slightly below, verbal ability slightly above, but most everything else about me and all of my experiences would be considered right at average on a bell curve. That is until I faced my 49th year of life. Then the world I knew shifted on me, and I found myself having experiences that were considered statistically rare. Oh, how I longed for the top of that bell curve again.
In 2010 after an MRI that both my doctor and I thought was going to show a simple pinched nerve, I got a call from my doctor saying, "well, this might not be life-threatening, but it will be life altering." She was right. From February 2010 I have been on a medical roller coaster ride.
Between 2010 – 2012. I have had one surgery to partially remove a benign tumor on my cervical spine. Thirty percent of it was too dangerous to remove. This left me with 14 titanium screws. Another surgery to implant a shunt in an arachnoid cyst that pushes on my cervical spine. A third surgery to fix the tubing on that shunt when it kinked, like a hose kinks, and a fourth surgery to put a magnetic valve on the shunt to stop it from over draining spinal fluid into my pleural cavity, the lining of your lungs. So in two years time, we could say that I am titanium, I am kinky, I am magnetic. I am basically bionic. And now that I box well ,you might not want to mess with me! Lol. For the rest my life I will have a tumor on my spine that threatens to again grow and a cyst that will always need to be controlled by a shunt.
I kept looking for the light at the end of this medical nightmare. I wanted it to be over. I am so grateful for all of the people who stood beside me and helped me through those years. It is humbling to lose your independence.
With the next few years my health continued on that roller coaster ride. A little better at times it seemed, but mainly a series of bad news. Eight times I had to have my lung drained due too shunt malfunctioning. This caused my brain to sag. Yes, at an age when so many other things were sagging, my brain was sagging too. Lol Most troubling was that I was experiencing new symptoms that my doctors could not explain, and they didn't seem concerned. I went to Dr. Google. I am notorious for getting myself in a frenzy and diagnosing myself with all kinds of conditions I don't have going to Dr. Google. Unfortunately, this time Dr. Google was right on. The first time I verbalized my suspicion was to my mother, and I expected her to say that is ridiculous. Instead she held me and said if you have this, then it will be all right. My symptoms fit Parkinson's disease perfectly. Ok, God, really?
A tumor, a cyst, and now Parkinson's disease? What about the lottery or Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes, winning at slots in Vegas? I promise could've handled that. That is why I call my three diagnoses "the trifecta." What are the odds?
I found refuge in my closet. My favorite place to cry. Often I would hear the words, "mom is crying in the closet again." I watched my body succumb to to the attacks of Parkinson's. I started to walk with a cane, I was losing my balance, and I had constant fatigue. My gross motor movements were slow and difficult, and my lack of hand function made me believe that I would soon have to quit my profession of being a school guidance counselor. A part of my life that I love. The medications prescribed to me were not working and my doctors were unsure which of my three diagnoses were causing my symptoms. But with the encouragement of friends and family I got out of that closet and fought physically with exercise and battled my way to Cleveland Clinic. On July 28th, 2015, I went to Cleveland clinic to see a movement disorder specialist.
In the beginning I did not respond to Levodopa, the standard Parkinson's med, and so when I left that day with a levodopa prescription, I was not too hopeful, especially knowing that In five days I had to go back to work.
The next day I filled that prescription and took the first pill and in two hours after taking that pill, my body was back to almost full functioning. I was better than before my first surgery in 2010. With that appointment only being five days before my first day at work and thinking I was possibly going to have to quit my job, this was nothing short of a miracle to me. I can move, dance,shout, sing sorta, swing my arms when I walk, gesture. All of those things that I took for granted before. I still have Parkinson's disease and it is a regressive disorder, but for an undetermined amount of time, i am better, but I will regress again at some point. As much as I fight, and oh I will, There is not a cure YET. One of my fears I had to over come Is …..Some Day when I can no longer button my shirt, walk unassisted, speak up so people can hear me, when my body fails what worth will I have to others except to be a burden.
I have changed that perspective after carefully watching the world around me. I am reassured that each of us has a purpose and gifts in this life and we each have a lasting legacy of the good works until our last breath. Yes, if you have a loved one lying in a nursing home with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, Cancer, I could go on and on, they are teaching us something. Listen and learn. A big lesson: SLOW DOWN
Take time, be still, , reach out, don't sweat small stuff, appreciate, And LOVE.
Well, that's me. Hello, my name is Lisa Cox. That's my story. That's my fight. That's why I write this blog. And your name is? What's your story? I welcome you to share it. There is healing in our stories. It's nice to meet you!

Does Freedom of Conscience Excuse Otherwise Criminal Behaviour?/
R v AM [2010] ACTSC 149 (15 November 2010)
The ACT Supreme Court recently considered to what extent freedom of conscience under the ACT Human Rights Act 2004 ('the HR Act') influenced the interpretation of criminal offences. An applicant sought to argue that her consciousness beliefs should provide her a defence to otherwise criminal conduct, and if not, that the Court should issue a declaration of incompatibility on the basis the relevant offence was inconsistent with the HR Act.
AM is charged with contravening a protection order under s 90 of the ACT Domestic Violence and Protection Orders Act 2008 ('the DVPO Act'). She had previously been committed to stand trial. That Act replaced the former Domestic Violence and Protection Orders Act 2001 following the judgment in SI bhnf CC v KS bhnf IS [2005] ACTSC 125, a decision which also raised issues under the ACT Human Rights Act 2004.
Earlier this year, AM's parents each obtained Interim Domestic Violence Orders prohibiting AM from attending their residence until 24 March 2010. AM was served with both orders on 15 February 2010. On 16 February 2010 she attended their home and was arrested.
Prior to her trial, in these proceedings, AM sought two orders in relation to her criminal charges. Firstly, that the Interim Domestic Violence and Protection Orders taken out by her parents be declared invalid, and, secondly, that she be allowed to defend herself according to the defence of lawful authority under ACT Criminal Code, using s 14 of the HR Act in her trial. Alternatively, she sought a declaration that parts of the Criminal Code 2002 were inconsistent with the HR Act.
Striking out of Original Orders
Refshauge J quickly dismissed the first application on the basis that it was inappropriate to deal with such an order because the correct parties, being AM's parents, were not before the Court. His Honour also found that because the order was one of an inferior court, the challenge should have been on the basis of a jurisdictional error and not merely that the order should not have been issued.
What is Freedom of Conscience?
His Honour dealt with the interaction between the HR Act and DVPO Act in some detail. Section 14 of the HR Act provides that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This includes freedom to have or adopt a religion or belief, and the freedom to demonstrate his or her religion or belief in public or private. Subsection 14 (2) states,
No-one may be coerced in a way that would limit his or her freedom to have or adopt a religion or belief in worship, observance, practice or teaching.'
His Honour noted that in several Australian cases freedom of conscience in relation to military service had been found to include conscientious objection, including Barwick CJ of the High Court in R v District Court of the Northern District of the State of Queensland; Ex parte Thompson (1968) 118 CLR 488:
A conscientious belief because it is a matter of conscience with its compulsive quality is durable though not unchangeable...The inclusion of non-combatant service in the exemption indicates the wide sweep which the conscientious objection must have. Such a belief must be carefully distinguished from mere intellectual persuasion which by its very nature maybe transient.
In a human rights context, Refshauge J noted the potential difference between religious beliefs and conscience, citing the comments of Linden JA in the Canadian case of Roach v Canada (Minister for State of Multiculturalism and Citizenship) (1994) 113 DLR (4th) 67. Burton J of the UK Employment Appeals Tribunal (Grainger PLC v Nicholson [2009] UKEAT 0219/09/ZT) recently reviewed the relevant UK authorities, and suggested that in order to be recognised,
(i) The belief must be genuinely held.
(ii) It must be a belief and not, as in McClintock, an opinion or viewpoint based on the present state of information available.
(iii) It must be a belief as to a weighty and substantial aspect of human life and behaviour.
(iv) It must attain a certain level of cogency, seriousness, cohesion and importance.
(v) It must be worthy of respect in a democratic society, be not incompatible with human dignity and not conflict with fundamental rights of others.
In reviewing the authorities both locally and in other human rights jurisdictions, Refshauge J concluded.
There is a strong sense that freedom of conscience, unlike freedom of religion, is limited to the beliefs and mental processes of an individual and that it does not necessarily protect any action motivated by the conscience of the person.
Application to AM
His Honour had difficulty determining from her submissions what AM's conscientious beliefs were, short of pacifism. Whilst noting that the authorities recognised such a belief, it was also inconsistent with her actions in breaching a protection order. At its highest, His Honour characterised her beliefs 'a conscientious obligation to confront persons whom she believes have inflicted harm on her and to do so in a non-violent way.' Even then, His Honour found such a belief would not be consistent with the definitions of conscience, as it seemed to lack the 'serious, cohesion and importance that is necessary'. Such a belief also seemed to conflict with her parents rights to privacy, security of person and perhaps freedom of association under the HR Act.
His Honour nonetheless also considered how freedom of conscience should interact with the criminal law using s 30 of the HR Act. Section 30 of the HR Act requires legislation to be interpreted in a way that is compatible with human rights, so far as that interpretation is consistent with its purpose. This decision predated that of R v Islam [2010] ACTSC 147, which appeared to lay out a new test for the application of s 30 to ACT laws. His Honour therefore applied the decision of the ACT Court of Appeal in R v Fearnside (2009) 3 ACTLR 25. That test essentially requires that in applying the HR Act to ACT legislation, the court should consider whether the law infringes a human right, and if so, if that infringement is justified under s28 of the HR Act.
His Honour applied this test to s 90(2) of the DVPO Act 2008. He found that even if AM's beliefs were to constitute a conscientious belief, and therefore engage the protection of s 14 of the HR Act, the offence of breaching a protection order under s.90 of the DVPO Act would be justified. His Honour stated,
It is clear to me that public safety and order are clearly purposes of Domestic Violence Orders and, as such, they are justified as restraints on the actions of others. Indeed, there may be some obligation for the Territory to make such protections.
Even if AM had successfully argued that s 90 was an unjustified limitation on s 14 of the HR Act, a declaration of incompatibility may have been the only result and that would not have helped her. Such declarations do not result in a change to the law, but rather oblige parliament to reconsider the law in question. The Court applies in the law in its current, incompatible state.
Lawful Authority
AM also sought to rely on s 43 of the ACT Criminal Code, which provides that a person is not criminally responsible for an offence if the conduct required for the offence is justified or excused under a law. She sought to argue that a law in this context should include the HR Act. In finding that AM did not have the requisite conscientious belief under s 14 of the HR Act, His Honour refused this order. He did note however that she might argue in her trial that her views were relevant to questions of the requisite fault elements of mens rea of the offence.
Whilst AM failed to prove that her beliefs met the requisite test of a conscientious belief under the HR Act, His Honours decision provides some guidance as to how the courts in the ACT will interpret freedom of conscience. The decision also seems to leave open the possibility that a person with a conscientious belief under the HR Act might be able to argue the defence of lawful authority under the Criminal Code.

Nuneaton Mountaineering Club's trip to Northern Ireland was a great success. Various methods of travel were employed including flying to Dublin and hiring a car, ferry from Holyhead to Dublin, overnight ferry Birkenhead to Belfast and the Belfast to Cairnryanferry. We stayed in two self-catering cottages in Annalong, Co Down just along the coast from Newcastle.The cottages were spacious and very well apportioned and we were very comfortable there for the week. On the hillwalking side there were many outings on the Mountains of Mourne including ascents of all of the main summits on more than one occasion. Slieve Donard (853 metres) the highest in Northern Ireland was ascended by two groups and there was a mega successful traverse ofthe Mourne Wall, a 22 mile trip over the mountains surrounding the Silent Valley watershed. On other days various visits were made to the Giant's Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Titanic Museum, Belfast City, Downpatrick and Strangford Lough.

Title: Perfecting Sourdough
Author: Jane Mason- writer, baker, social entrepreneur.
Rating: 5/5
I had high hopes for Perfecting Sourdough from the start. The 160-page hardback is the third of Jane Mason's books after she set up Virtuous Bread in 2010 to help people make, find and learn about good bread.
Personally, I find bread totally underrated. That sounds ridiculous, I know, but it's true. There are so many different flavours, textures and consistencies which you just can't achieve with other baked goods. It compliments all sorts of dishes and actually can be a lot of fun to make… when you know how.
I know when I first started baking, the idea of baking bread against cooking an impressive tiered cake when paired up with the time and effort required seemed like a no-brainer. Bread requires work it's true, but you can taste every last little bit of effort you put in.
I find that baking bread sometimes requires a little helping hand, and Perfecting Sourdough provides just that. It's easy to follow, and is perfect for bakers who want to step into the realms of baking with starters and wild yeast.
The book guides you through the simple process of making and keeping sourdough starters whilst encouraging you to find your own style and embrace the learning experience… something I love! I really enjoy being able to put my own spin on things, and this book is perfect for that.
Chapters are dedicated to each time of sourdough which in turn helps you develop your knowledge of bread- I didn't know that many different types of sourdough existed before reading this book. It covers everything from step-to-step instructions to troubleshooting advice and also advice on equipment and ingredients- the perfect guide for bakers who are just entering the world of sourdough.
*The products in this review were kindly gifted to me, but this does in no way influence my fair and unbiased reviews*

In the Name of Jesus, Please Trim the BS.
It's just a crying shame for the whole world that people don't just handle their business with one another. And then when some one dares to try and handle some business that happens to require some confrontation, the person involved responds with a "how dare you" type attitude. People are prideful, they want to run […]

Then, in the 17th chapter of Genesis, God commands,
"This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: every male among you shall be circumcised." (v. 10)
Circumcision was a "sign of the covenant" that had already been given, with no strings attached, to Abraham.
To some secular Jews, circumcision may not seem especially important or relevant in today's culture. To others, the value of circumcision might be mainly in the fact that it is one of the few things that we do to reinforce the fact that we are Jews. Religious Jews can look to many rabbinical commentaries on why circumcision is important. What about Messianic Jews? How is this ancient rite meaningful to us today?

LINCOLN, NEB. – Farmers, ranchers, and agricultural dignitaries from across the state will help honor the 100th anniversary of the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation (NFBF) in a year-long celebration. A new centennial web page is launched and Governor Pete Ricketts issued a proclamation to recognize Nebraska Farm Bureau's 100 years and its ability to unite thousands of Nebraska farm and ranch families under a common banner—doing together what they can't do alone.
"100 years of engagement, 100 years of passion for Nebraska agriculture, and 100 years of representing Nebraska farmers and ranchers, the very people who grow our food, fuel, and fiber. It is not very often that an organization can say they have reached this milestone. I am very excited about our yearlong centennial celebration," said Steve Nelson, NFBF president Feb. 14.
As part of honoring the past, renowned Nebraska sculptor Sondra L. Johnson, of Cambridge, will create a cast bronze bas-relief sculpture to mark the centennial. The sculpture, in the shape of the State of Nebraska, includes the many landscapes and crops found across the state. Looking to the future, the Nebraska Farm Bureau Foundation announced the Cornerstone Campaign. "Celebrating Our Past, Building Our Future" is the theme of the fundraising campaign to provide a financial foundation for its programs that promote an understanding of and appreciation for Nebraska agriculture.
"Through our new Foundation, we will equip the next generation of Nebraskans for careers, leadership positions, and consumer roles that intersect with agriculture," said Nelson. "Foundation programs such as Agriculture in the Classroom, student scholarships, and leadership development are an investment in the continued success of agriculture and all of Nebraska."
The cast bronze centennial sculpture and corresponding Cornerstone Campaign donor recognition wall will be installed at the Nebraska Farm Bureau state office in Lincoln. An unveiling is planned for March 30, 2017.
Throughout this centennial year, Nebraska Farm Bureau will hold other statewide events including events for members in Western Nebraska, to be held in Scottsbluff June 8, Northeast Nebraska in Norfolk Aug. 8, and a tailgate will be held prior to the Sept. 22, Nebraska Husker football game against Rutgers in Lincoln. You can find out more about the celebration at our website www.nefb.org/centennial.
"As part of our centennial, Nebraska Farm Bureau continues to look ahead to the next century of possibilities, especially for the next generation of farmers and ranchers. Helping them get excited about agriculture and Nebraska Farm Bureau is vital to strengthening the future of our organization and Nebraska agriculture," Nelson said
The Nebraska Farm Bureau is a grassroots, state-wide organization dedicated to supporting farm and ranch families and working for the benefit of all Nebraskans through a wide variety of educational, service and advocacy efforts. More than 61,000 families across Nebraska are Farm Bureau members, working together to achieve rural and urban prosperity as agriculture is a key fuel to Nebraska's economy.

In a bold and blue fashion, Man Utd have unveiled the clubs 3rd Kit by Nike.
For the 2014-15 season, Manchester United will play in a stylish and innovative new third kit.
Consisting entirely of two tones of blue, the kit is inspired by United's tradition of blue kits from the 1980s, as well as uniform worn when they became the first English side to win the European Cup in 1968.
The shirt, shorts and socks are all a rich and vibrant blue on the front with a darker tone of the same color on the entire back. These two tones are divided by a red stripe on both sides of the kit representing United's famous home color.
These stripes stretch from the collar, along both shoulders, down each side of the shirt, shorts and right down to the socks.
The half-and-half appearance is a traditional football design, but this is the first season it has ever been used on the front and back.
The shirt boasts a classic design with a sophisticated polo neck collar and three buttons in the darker tone of blue.
Inside the back of the neck is a label with the message, "Youth, Courage, Greatness" to represent the club's values.
The new third kit will be available to purchase in stores from September 25.
While this new kit features Nike's signature style and passion, it has also been designed to offer players the very latest in performance innovation, kit technology and environmental sustainability.

Home>>Xi'an>> Wild Goose Pagoda
Giant Wild Goose Pagoda or Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a Buddhist pagoda located in southern Xi'an, Shaanxi province, China. It was built in 652 during the Tang dynasty and originally had five stories.
The structure was rebuilt in 704 during the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, and its exterior brick facade was renovated during the Ming dynasty. One of the pagoda's many functions was to hold sutras and figurines of the Buddha that were brought to China from India by the Buddhist translator and traveler Xuanzang.
The original pagoda was built during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang (r. 649-683), then standing at a height of 54 m (177 ft). However, this construction of rammed earth with a stone exterior facade collapsed five decades later.
The ruling Empress Wu Zetian had the pagoda rebuilt and added five new stories by the year 704; however, a massive earthquake in 1556 heavily damaged the pagoda and reduced it by three stories, to its current height of seven stories.The entire structure leans very perceptibly (several degrees) to the west.
Its related structure, the 8th century Small Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an, only suffered minor damage in the 1556 earthquake (unrepaired to this day). The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda was extensively repaired during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) and renovated again in 1964. The pagoda currently stands at a height of 64 m (210 ft) tall and from the top it offers views over the current city of Xi'an.
As for the reason why it is called Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there is a legend. According to ancient stories of Buddhists, there were two branches, for one of which eating meat was not a taboo. One day, they couldn't find meat to buy. Upon seeing a group of big wild geese flying by, a monk said to himself: 'Today we have no meat.
I hope the merciful Bodhisattva will give us some.' At that very moment, the leading wild goose broke its wings and fell to the ground. All the monks were startled and believed that Bodhisattva showed his spirit to order them to be more pious. They established a pagoda where the wild goose fell and stopped eating meat. Hence its name.

text: The frequency spectrum of interest for hydrophones used in Naval tactical systems, ocean surveillance systems, or for environmental monitoring is continuing to expand, due to increased interest in passively detecting third-world submarines, merchant shipping, biologics, etc. as well as increased interest in multistatic active sonars. LewTech is proposing that our Phase I and follow-on phases concentrate on adapting the hydrophones used in tactical ASW sensors to use relaxor single-crystal piezoelectric materials rather than the traditionally-used polycrystalline lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) piezoceramic materials. Hydrophones utilizing relaxor single-crystal ceramics can be designed to increase the sensitivity and bandwidth and reduce the self-noise, due to the improved electromechanical coupling factors, dielectric constant, and the loss tangent. The overall objective is to redesign a current Navy sonobuoy hydrophone, using single-crystal ceramics, and demonstrate improvements in sensitivity, self-noise, and bandwidth capabilities. Phase I will fabricate a prototype hydrophone and perform in-water testing and compare the results to the current hydrophone constructed of piezoelectric ceramic. LewTech has formed a strong team with a major sonobuoy manufacturer, UnderSea Sensor Systems, Inc. (USSI), a wholly-owned company of Ultra Electronics, to support the design and development of a practical, cost effective sensor(s) utilizing relaxor single-crystal ceramics.

About Beats Per Minute:
Beats Per Minute (formerly One Thirty BPM) is a New York and Los Angeles-based online publication which covers a wide variety of genres but specializes in rock, hip hop, and electronic music, offering critical analysis without the elitism that permeates many other sites.
Philip Cosores is the Managing Editor of Beats Per Minute as well as the Senior Staff Writer at Consequence of Sound, and still manages a day job as an advertising copywriter. Dude is busy! His fingers probably write things on their own while he's asleep.
Cosores' photos accompany a review which comments on the widespread embrace of something so experimental as w h o k i l l, the oblique and charged tUnE-yArDs album which recently won Album of the Year honors in the 2011 Pazz and Jop poll:
To receive this kind of acceptance would be humbling to anyone, but for someone who makes something so unique and something that could be so easily dismissed to get this kind of reception was something truly special, and it capped off the night in a way that can make everyone in attendance proud to have been a part of it.
