I'm sorry. There's just no other way to express it.
I don't use myspace much. My kids do, so I only use it to keep an eye on my young'n's, really.
My wife does sometimes as well, and she was telling me last week how everyone else has cool pictures and stuff. She and computers are not the best of friends, so I thought I'd help her out a little and a few days ago I uploaded like 600 pictures to my account for her to use. (I don't have access to her account, obviously.) The vast majority of them are from our trip to London in August of 2006. I kind of burned out after that, so didn't upload too many others. (You'll have to add me as a friend if you want to see them.)
So yesterday or the day before I got a message from myspace:
Date:Feb 4, 2008 6:50 PM
We had to delete one of your photos
We had to remove an image (or images) from your account because they violated our Terms of Use. Our site is for people as young as 14, so we can't have certain kinds of pics (nude/sexually explicit, violence, material protected by copyright). Find out more about content we don't allow here. If you continue to violate our Terms, we may be forced to remove your account.
You may feel singled out, but be assured that we delete each and every one of these images as we locate them. If you find an image which you feel is in violation of our Terms, please feel free to use the 'report image' link below the image.
Thanks for your understanding.
MySpace Safety & Security
Wow. Really? I notice the "reply" button is missing, and the myspace tech support account from whence it came specifically says that questions not relating to technical support will not be answered.
Of course I have to wonder what the hell picture they were talking about. I scanned and browsed, but nothing seemed to be amiss. It was hard to tell, what with 600 pictures to look through. Finally this morning, curiosity overcame laziness and I logged into Corporal Kate's account to check the history. In a myspace account you can see friend updates, like "Dad added x number of pictures on such and so date in y photoalbum". I start comparing the number of uploads that Kate's account says I made with the number of pictures currently resident in each photo album.
The British Museum album is one short.
Further, there are almost 200 pictures in that album to look through. *sigh*
I look immediately for the little chicken-head idol with the really big pecker (seen here), figuring that if anything, that one might have offended some religious nutjob in the tech department. Nope, that's still there.
I compare my local folder to the album, one picture at a time. Want to know what picture they found offensive? Look below the fold.

Have you ever felt so lazy, lethargic, unable to accomplish your tasks? Have you felt so angry,sad or depressed at one point of the day? These might be ghosts or entities feeding off your energy. It is possible for these types of moods to come in play. Energy is stored into our bodies when we eat, play or do certain activities. Most cases bad ghosts or entities attach themselves onto humans to make themselves stronger and powerful.
For this type of action to happen, some maybe associated with paranormal activity that might of taken place at some point of a person's life. Thus, draining energy becoming violent or possibly even suicidal. For these types of feelings for bad ghost's or entities to detach themselves from person's. Positive activities are encouraged, social activities as well. Energy that is built up solely upon positiveness surrounding that certain activity causes the ghost or bad energy to not be involved in a person's life. These entities become stressed and not involved in negativity that might of been surrounding that person. Making those entities weak in the process.

Manchester City have reportedly won the race for the signature of young Nigerian goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu.
Bazunu, 16, is regarded as one of the brightest young goalkeepers in the world at the moment, and he's will sign a pre-contract with the Premier League champions after agreeing terms with his club, Shamrock Rovers.
The youngster had been linked with moves to Liverpool, Celtic, Norwich City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur before agreeing terms with City.
His transfer to the Etihad Stadium outfit will be completed in January after he must have completed his studies in Ireland.
The shot-stopper kept four clean sheets in his first four matches for Shamrock Rovers in the League of Ireland and was in between the sticks when they faced AIK Solna in the first qualifying round of the Europa League last month.
The Etihad outfit will pay Shamrock Rovers an initial €350,000 for his signature.
He joins Tosin Adarabioyo, the Nmecha and Dele-Bashiru brothers, Chidiebere Nwakali, Nathanael Ogbeta, Osazee Aghatise and Timi Sobowale as the Nigerian starlets on the books of Manchester City.

Tracey designed these rather awesome anti-idling signs for use outside schools. This is to encourage parents doing their school run to switch off their engines while waiting. This should reduce pollution for children (and adults!) entering and leaving the school gates.
High quality PDF file: LPBidlingfreezoneV2
While "Stationary idling is an offence under section 42 of the Road Traffic Act 1988″, it is a common habit and it is difficult to inform drivers about this issue. The act enforces rule 123 of the Highway Code "You MUST NOT leave a parked vehicle unattended with the engine running or leave a vehicle engine running unnecessarily while that vehicle is stationary on a public road. Generally, if the vehicle is stationary and is likely to remain so for more than a couple of minutes, you should apply the parking brake and switch off the engine to reduce emissions and noise pollution. However it is permissible to leave the engine running if the vehicle is stationary in traffic or for diagnosing faults."

Consumer Compliance Outlook
Compliance Alert
FFIEC Announces Changes to Census Data Used for HMDA and CRA
On August 26, 2011, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) announced that all Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) and Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) data collected in 2012 must be geocoded using the new 2010 census tracts.1
Data collected in 2011 and submitted in March 2012 will still be geocoded using the 2000 census tracts. On a related note, on October 19, 2011, the FFIEC announced that the FFIEC census data file will incorporate data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS). The FFIEC census data "are used to provide context to HMDA and Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) data."2 According to the Census Bureau, the ACS is an ongoing survey that was fully implemented in 2005 after several years of testing. While the census data provide "counts of the population and their basic characteristics [such as] sex, age, race, Hispanic origin, and homeowner status," the ACS data provide detailed "demographic, social, economic, and housing characteristics."3
The FFIEC will use the 2010 five-year ACS data to update its base file annually and will refresh the base file every five years. Historically, the FFIEC census base file was updated every 10 years. "Implementation of the new data for consumer compliance and CRA examination purposes will occur in 2012, and the data will be utilized in the same manner that decennial data has been used in the past. In addition to the tract income data, the new base file will include updated race and ethnicity data."4
Also on October 19, 2011, the FFIEC announced that it will calculate the annual median family income data that are published each June that were previously calculated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. These data are also used for HMDA data compilation and CRA evaluations.

SANTA FE — The gloves are coming off in New Mexico's three-way Democratic gubernatorial race.
One of the candidates, Joseph Cervantes, launched a TV campaign ad today that targets Michelle Lujan Grisham, the perceived front-runner in the race, for making money off government contracts while a member of Congress and taking hefty out-of-state campaign contributions.
The 30-second ad features a picture of President Donald Trump waving goodbye to a New Mexico-bound airplane and opens with the line, "Who's Michelle Lujan Grisham working for? Not us."
It's scheduled to run for the next week on three different Albuquerque-area network stations, according to public station files, and represents the first attack ad in the race for governor of the 2018 primary election cycle.
Cervantes, a state senator from Las Cruces, has loaned more than $2 million in personal money to his campaign and has vowed to spend it. He reported earlier this week having more than $1.6 million in his campaign account, which was slightly more than Lujan Grisham.
In a statement, Cervantes said Lujan Grisham has made money off governmental contracts and been linked with out-of-state "special interests," though he did not specify which groups he was referring to.
"I believe the voters of New Mexico should be fully informed before making the important decision of choosing their next governor," he added. "The stakes are just too high. I will be a governor who will always put the people of New Mexico first, and will never be beholden to out of state special interests."
A former state Cabinet secretary, Lujan Grisham has been a member of Congress since 2013. She announced in December 2016 she would forgo a re-election bid this year to her Albuquerque-based congressional seat and instead run for governor.
On congressional financial disclosure forms, Lujan Grisham has in past years cited an annual income of between $15,000 and $50,000 from Delta Consulting Group, a health care firm that has done work for the New Mexico Medical Insurance Pool. The firm's president is state Rep. Deborah Armstrong, an Albuquerque Democrat who is also the treasurer of Lujan Grisham's gubernatorial campaign.
A Lujan Grisham campaign spokesman blasted Cervantes' ad as "ridiculous and full of falsehoods."
"Congresswoman Lujan Grisham ran a patient advocacy company designed to help people get affordable care," campaign spokesman Victor Reyes said. "Her small business didn't make a "bundle" on state or federal contracts."
He also said the company helped patients —including those with cancer and AIDS — get health care after being denied coverage by insurance companies.
Absentee voting has already begun for New Mexico's primary election, which will be held June 5.
Lujan Grisham and Cervantes are vying with former Albuquerque media executive Jeff Apodaca for the Democratic Party's gubernatorial nomination.
The lone Republican running is U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce, who is giving up his southern-New Mexico based congressional seat.

If anyone is in any doubt about the truth of the old motto "laughter is the best medicine", then they should hurry along to a Jason Byrne gig as soon as possible. I can guarantee you that, however down you may be feeling when you go in, when you go out, you will be on a high – and very likely sore from laughing so much.
Jason has an infectious ability to make people laugh – and that's what makes him one of the most successful stand-ups at work today. I caught up with him as he prepares for his new show Wrecked But Ready, which he brings to the Oxford Playhouse tomorrow night (Thursday).
"People buy my tickets because they say I'm a guaranteed laugh, and people need laughter in their lives," he says. "That's why I can't go on and selfishly talk about my own misery. People don't want to go to comedy to hear about your unhappiness – 'I've had a terrible day, and now you're telling me about your terrible year!'
"After a show, people often say to me, 'I needed that so much. I got bad news last week, and that really cheered me up'. The key is that I just go on and take the mickey out of myself – and people seem to really like that."
One of the things about Jason's live show is that no two nights are ever the same. The comedian, who has starred in Live at the Apollo, The Royal Variety Show, Don't Say It, Bring It, and Wild Things, thrives on the sheer unpredictability of his stand-up.
"My energy is based on the audience," he says. "I feed off them. I include them in everything I talk about, and that's how I make the show different every night.

"There is no editing and no pre-planning. That gives me such a thrill. I'm 47 now, and as you get older, they say that the way to stop Alzheimer's is to keep your brain stimulated. As long as I keep gigging, I'll definitely keep my brain stimulated!
"I love audience participation because unpredictable things always happen. The great thing is that audiences are not trained and not used to being on stage.
"I do a simple thing where I get three guys up onstage. One talks about his job, the second translates using a made-up sign language and the third explains it using interpretive dance. So you have got a guy talking into a microphone who has never done it, a guy doing sign language who has never done it and a guy doing interpretive dance who has never done it. Because they don't have a clue about what they're doing, it's so funny."

Another marvellous aspect of Jason's live performance is his legendary rapport with his armies of loyal fans, many of whom regularly bring him gifts.
He reveals, for instance, that, "Every year in Leeds a woman leaves me a pomegranate on stage. She doesn't care what I'm talking about – she just wants to give me a pomegranate!
"One year in Birmingham I talked about people in the audience eating. So now in Birmingham they always leave me boiled sweets on stage. It's my own fault for talking to the audience. Dylan Moran would never get that. But I engage the audience and say hello to them – more fool me!
"I get a couple on stage to do a marriage survey – just to tease them. But don't worry, I'm not going to get people to separate onstage!"
Jason, who wears a typically ridiculous outfit of a dinner jacket on the top and underpants on the bottom, is also an inspired improviser. There is no one better at going off-script and creating superb comedy plucked out of thin air.
He says: "Improvising keeps me stimulated. I don't have to rattle out the same stuff every night. I was with Ed Byrne at the Kilkenny Comedy Festival and he asked me, 'Are you going to make up the whole show tonight? ' 'No!' I replied, 'I've got lots of material'. But then I went on stage and made the whole thing up – just to annoy Ed!
"I can do both. I can do an hour of scripted material or an hour of improvised stuff. It's a lovely feeling when people react to something I've written, but I get great joy out of everything."
Jason certainly has some wonderful scripted material. For example, he has an excellent routine about Britain's inability to leave the EU. He explains that, "I imagine that Britain is like a little girl misbehaving because she won't leave. Brussels says to her, 'Okay, Britain, what the hell is going on?' I fall to my knees and say, 'We're going to stay.' 'Okay'. 'Actually, we're going to leave!'
"I also imagine Boris Johnson talking to Brussels, and he keeps saying mad stuff like, 'I like monkeys'. If you turn politicians into children, you realise that they're the same thing!"
He also makes light of his divorce. As always, his paramount ambition is to make people laugh, and to that end he ensures that he is always the butt of his jokes.
"That's really important," he affirms. "The audience needs to know that I'm the idiot. The divorce is my fault. My wife was trying to deal with my nonsense all her life.
"But the advice you get when you're splitting up is hilarious. My favourite is: 'it gets easier'. That always comes from people who are not divorced – how on earth do they know?"
The comedian, whose second children's novel will be published this autumn, says it is vital to make the material about his divorce funny. "Wrecked But Ready is not a show about divorce and misery. If it were, my crowd would say, 'Oh, for God's sake!' It's very light-hearted.
"So, for instance, I point out that you can always spot a single man. He's the one on the beach who always has a square patch of sunburn on his back which he can't reach with sun cream. He also always has crumbs on his shoulders because his wife used to pick them off."
He adds: "My crowd don't care about my life. They're just saying, 'Make me laugh!'"
Irish comedian and radio host Jason Bryne is best known for improvisation and his unscripted live shows involving audience participation. His Jason Byrne Show, which ran from 2010 to 2012 on BBC Radio 2 was awarded a Gold Sony Radio Award for Best Comedy.
He plays the Oxford Playhouse, Beamont Street, Oxford tomorrow. Tickets from oxfordplayhouse.com

Things are usually pretty quiet on the weekend in these parts. I will throw a few things out in the comment section for those who wish to participate.
Interesting pattern of the Clintons whenever they try to get away from the shade. Bold font is the key sentence about the pattern.
Haitians to Protest Hillary Clinton's Speech at New York City College
On June 8, Hillary Clinton is scheduled to serve as the Class of 2017 commencement speaker at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, New York, where she will also be awarded an honorary degree. The announcement has incited protests from several members of the Haitian community who plan to protest the speech and are pushing the college's president, Rudy Crew, to rescind the invitation.
"Every time the Clintons get in a bind, they run to the black community to whitewash their tarnished image," said Komokoda, the Haitian group protesting the speech, in a statement. "After Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath in the Monica Lewinsky affair, he brought in Jesse Jackson and a host of black preachers to lead prayers with him at the White House. To divert attention from her 'deleted emails' debacle, Hillary had Bill DeBlasio's wife, Chirlane McCray, bring her to Brownsville, one of the most impoverished neighborhoods in Brooklyn, for a photo op with little black children. When newspaper editorials and cartoons were blasting her for her unending lies and demanding investigations and prosecutions, former New York City mayor David Dinkins brought her out for a keynote speech at his Dinkins Leadership & Public Policy Forum at Columbia University. Today, for her resurrection from a shameful defeat by the last person most reasonable people felt could ever be president of the United States, the dirty work falls to Rudy Crew."
The Clintons' role in Haiti has incited immense criticism and has tarnished their relationship with the Haitian community. In 2010, Haiti suffered a massive earthquake. Several NGOs and the United Nations flocked to Haiti to help relief efforts, but their intervention came with several costs. In 2011, UN Peacekeepers caused a massive cholera outbreak that killed at least 9,500 people and sickened 800,000 others. During this time, Bill Clinton served as the United Nations Special Envoy to Haiti while Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state. While the Clinton Foundation has staunchly defended their role in Haiti, their involvement in the country has been far from successful. "Many of the most notable investments the Clintons helped launch, such as the new Marriott in the capital, have primarily benefited wealthy foreigners and the island's ruling elite, who needed little help to begin with," wrote Jonathan Katz for Politico in 2015.
Some of this has been reported by Peter Schwizer, a
St Ronnie conservative-biased author in the book Clinton Cash but as we also know some of his reporting appeared a bit exploitative/hit job on Clinton.
Bernie donned a gown while speaking to graduating seniors at Johnson State College in Vermont earlier today. He looks very professorial.
Bernie mentioned that he had children who attended the college and daughter who is in charge of the woodworking program. But his speech is not light-hearted; it is more a call to action. The speech is about 24 minutes and is posted below.
The audience was psyched. Bernie begins speaking about 43:20 mark.
Do not turn your back on the struggles going on that are going on in this country today or around the world. And I say to you, if there was ever a time in history for a generation to be bold and think big and to stand up and fight back, now is that time.
This is your country: fight for it.
Here's a perspective about importing Canadian drugs into the US. Some points to consider.
As someone who spent several years as Canada's health minister, I know that allowing Americans to purchase prescription drugs from Canada could have terrible consequences for the citizens of both countries.
Under Sanders's plan, Canada would simply serve as an intermediate transshipment point for unapproved drugs heading to the United States. Canadian authorities do not inspect every shipment of products headed for the U.S. marketplace to ensure that packages don't contain adulterated, counterfeit or illegal drugs. Canada does not have the resources to undertake such comprehensive searches, and the Canadian and U.S. governments are not currently set up to facilitate such a program. Canada's health-inspection regime is designed to ensure the safety of medications for Canadians, not for other countries.
Absent a major policy shift here in Canada, if bulk Canada-U.S. drug shipments were to become a reality, Americans could receive uncertified, uninspected, third-party drugs. Canada inspects drugs for its own citizens; Canadian authorities wouldn't have the ability or resources to inspect medicines destined for the United States.
What's more, there's an opioid epidemic in the United States, and the situation isn't much better in Canada; British Columbia recently declared a public health emergency to combat the opioid crisis. Because Canada isn't inspecting all trans-shipped goods bound for the United States, there are dire concerns that international opioid smugglers could disguise their narcotics as prescription drug packages. The amount of fentanyl, much of it from China, reaching Canadian ports has skyrocketed recently. Canadian officials have seized fentanyl packages fraudulently labeled as containing zero grams of the deadly synthetic opioid.
I wouldn't mind if Bernie responded back to see what we're missing in the discussion of his bill. I see the merits of his bill, but just curious.

Recently, I found a folding screen at a thrift store (I think it is a Pottery Barn Kids). I've always liked the way a folding screen adds dimension to a room. When I was a girl my mom and Aunt reupholstered a screen that I think they found at the dump, but they turned into something very pretty with light blue flowered fabric. My sisters and I loved it! I'm thinking of putting the one I got into our daughter Lauren's room. I'm trying to decide what fabric to reupholster this screen in and it will need to be reattached.
We painted her room a blue a little while ago, but these images are certainly progress pictures.
A screen adds a layering effect and it can be a great tool to create warmth, zone spaces and hiding clutter. If you live in an apartment, a screen is a great way to divide your space between open sections.
Hanging pictures on a screen is brilliant!
I love the idea of putting two doors together to create a screen.
I love the idea of putting two doors together to create a screen.
A little history lesson: Screens originated from the Chinese and spread throughout Asia and Europe around the time of Marco Pollo. Many Asian screens started out as a way to paint landscapes. The fashion designer Coco Chanel, was an avid collector of Asian screens (she had about 32 of them). However, most screens were born out of necessity, for privacy and as a shield from winter draft winds blowing in people's homes.
Have you ever used screens in your home? Which one of these images is your favorite? I'll show you soon what I've done with our screen.

Why China's Street Protests Do Not a Revolution Make
By Russell Leigh Moses
The standard narrative about China is that common people are seeking change and it's the government that's standing in their way.
Chinese people protest, Chinese authorities back down, and as demonstrations grow, so does the possibility that the Chinese Communist Party will be confronted with more protests than it can cope with, and it will be compelled to reform quickly or lose power.
However, the local reality on the ground is more complicated, as events in Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province, showed this past weekend.
Beijing announced in recent days that the way the results of China's annual national examination for college admission were tabulated would change. Jiangsu, one of the country's more educated and affluent provinces and home to many leading universities, would have to give up 38,000 openings heretofore allocated to the province's students to fill.
The current examination system affords students from urban areas a significant advantage in how the examination scores are calculated and slots at universities are distributed. Many officials have been arguing for years that the existing system discriminates against less prosperous provinces in China because those regions have been focusing on short-term employment and industry at the expense of education.
While Jiangsu wasn't the only province made to sacrifice, officials here have been especially unenthusiastic about reforms to the student selection process. The current system makes their region more attractive to educated residents to buy property or remain here after they graduate, they say.
Jiangsu officials lost the argument. And their constituents weren't happy.
The announcement of changes stunned many parents and students in Jiangsu (as well as teachers and tutors here), all of whom--like their counterparts in other regions--spend enormous energy every year preparing for what is essentially the only route for Chinese youth to be admitted into national colleges and universities. Some parents began protesting at local schools in Nanjing almost immediately. Within hours, China's social media also erupted in anger at the changes, as did local populations in Nanjing and some other cities in Jiangsu the following day when hundreds took to the streets and demonstrated outside government offices.
Videos posted online show that the vast majority of the protests were loud but peaceful, in contrast to a number of previous episodes elsewhere in China. Within a short period of time of the demonstrators assembling, provincial-level officials appeared before the crowd in Nanjing and promised to hear complaints about the new policy.
A few hours later, faced with public opposition, Jiangsu officials promised publicly that there would not be any change to the number of slots available to students in the province, at least for the time being.
On the surface, the events in Jiangsu appear to confirm the classical narrative of a restive and distrustful public rising up against Chinese authorities, and officials being forced to back down—perhaps even offer a model for future political change in China. So long as demonstrators have will and determination, the government will be compelled to concede.
But that's misinterpreting what actually occurred.
Protests in China like the one in Nanjing rarely start spontaneously; they have to be carefully and quietly organized. Local accounts of the demonstrations indicate that the security forces and the cordon around government offices were actually there before the protests commenced. At the very least, Nanjing authorities knew something might happen and were prepared for it, but didn't try to stop it. That's significant because it suggests that some in the Nanjing government may have been willing to allow a certain amount of public discontent in response to the policy change; perhaps some officials weren't altogether happy with Beijing's decision either.

- Photos: 'Assault With Breast' Ruling Spurs Protests in Hong Kong
It's also important to note that many of the protests in Jiangsu didn't turn ugly at all. In Nanjing in particular, the local government has previously looked to dialogue instead of force to deal with local demonstrations, and it's usually been quite successful. While many observers argue that Chinese residents are clamoring for political rights, some Chinese officials acknowledge that the issue for many citizens is more often just the right to be heard.
Another possible reason for this mutual restraint is that the protests in Nanjing weren't about changing to something new, but preserving the status quo. As united as the demonstrators might have been for the moment, their protest was about something that benefitted them directly and individually as parents and teachers—an advantage that they are simply not willing to share with others less fortunate elsewhere in China.
We need to recognize that on the 50th anniversary of the Cultural Revolution there are no rebellions or large-scale revolts on China's horizon. Governance is overwhelmingly by directive; citizen participation appears most often when new policies take away old privileges without an opportunity for public input--not because residents seek political reform.
That may be comforting for those who fear large-scale social chaos, but it's frustrating for those Chinese officials and residents who want greater transparency and trust to prevent simmering resentment from spilling into the streets. The recent events in Nanjing show how far away from those qualities much of China regrettably still remains.

Aquarius 2019
Aired Monday, 21 January 2019, 9:00 PM ET
Aquarius 2019
This show is dedicated to Aquarius – the 11th sign of the zodiac. The symbol of this sign is the water-bearer which brings water to the masses. Aquarius is the philanthropist of the zodiac who is the humanitarian that helps others. This sign is a free thinker and many times has brilliant and genius solutions to problems. Aquarius is very much a team player who believes in social justice and equality for all.
This sign is ruled by unpredictable Uranus who also rules earthquakes and volcanos and disrupts life as we know it. Aquarius is an air sign which surprises many people as the water-bearer is its symbol. This is the paradox Aquarius creates wherever it goes. Aquarius is a fixed sign that can dig its heels in when it feels like it. It can be easy going up to a point and then it's not.
Aquarius is all about the future, technology and scientific solutions to old problems. Groups and organizations and networking with others is a favorite pastime. Aquarius is the sign of friendship so this sign will know a lot of people from all walks of life. Aquarius is not happy being one of the crowd they must be different or stand out somehow and it's usually through a weird and wacky way. They are extremely independent and seek freedom at all costs.
Aquarius most definitely possesses an odd combination of forward thinking and mental stubbornness and make no mistake about it — this influence will have this sign fixed in their outlook and opinions.
Also on this show will be Aquarius compatibility – how this sign gets a long with the other signs of the zodiac as well as the planets in Aquarius and what that means.
Tune in on Monday 6pm PT/9pm Et to find out more…

Today I am slacking and posting the blog I wrote for the Kingdom Bloggers site.
I have dreamed of many things over my life time. Americans think, well we can be whatever we set our minds to be. For sure, many of us could achieve more if we worked a little harder - well maybe a lot harder. Some of it is tied to success, some to entitlement and whatever is left over seems to be up to God.

NEW DEHLI (UCAN): The Catholic Bishops Conference of India released its Guidelines to Deal with Sexual Harassment at the Workplace, the first such initiative, in New Delhi on September 14. The Council for Women of the bishops' conference framed the guidelines.
Apart from Church institutions, all dioceses, parishes and religious congregations are to institute complaints committees to which a case of sexual harassment can be reported.
The committees are to conduct a preliminary enquiry and crimes are to be reported to the police.
The guidelines call for all kinds of abuse, including abuse by clergy, sexual harassment of men and abuse of transgender men and women to be reported.
Bishop Theodore Mascarenhas, the secretary general of the bishops' conference, said the guidelines are "not all about the laws but is an education about treatment of the other sex, the dignity and respect of one another."
Bishop Jacob Mar Barnabas, chairperson of the bishop's Council for Women, stressed that the Church advocates zero tolerance against all forms of sexual abuse. He pointed out that the guidelines are "gender inclusive and are formulated to create a safe and healthy work environment without fear or prejudice."
The guidelines were put together in compliance with the provisions of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act passed by the federal government in 2013.
The law calls for organisations and companies to formulate guidelines to prevent sexual abuse in the workplace and has stipulated action against employers who fail to comply.
India's National Crime Records Bureau says cases of sexual harassment doubled between 2014 and 2015 from 57 to 119.
Sister Talisha Nadukudiyil, secretary of the Council for Women noted that Indian women continue to be victims of disrespect, attacks and harassment at home and at work because of "an unchanged and archaic social structure marked by patriarchy."
The sister, who belongs to the Sisters of the Destitute congregation, explained that previously there was no system where victims could approach someone in case of sexual harassment but "now the internal complaint committees will help to address the issues of the victims."
Presentation Sister Anastasia Gill, a member of the minorities commission in New Delhi, said women make up the main work force in most activities of the Church across the country and sexual harassment "is a reality."
"The Church has now shown readiness to address this issue ourageously," she said.

Some kids can be cruel
Everything was fine, I pretty much just observed and smiled and spoke a few words to a few people. I don't do well in this kind of environment so I was a little dizzy but otherwise fine. A little bored, a little tired, I'm an introvert and I just didn't put myself out there.
The reason I'm writing this is because my daughter was insulted.
I don't like stereotypes anymore than the next guy but this was typical public school behaviour.
We were getting ready to leave and I missed the incident, I must have been throwing away the garbage.
Cassie told me this as soon as we walked out the door.
When she was going to get her shoes a boy and her bumped into each other. He called her fat as he walked away from bumping into her.
She didn't say anything to him and I wish I would have seen it, now I know why she asked me to help her tie her shoes, it was so we could get out of there faster.
I started to write what he looked like but I deleted it, who cares about him, he hurt my daughter's feelings. I told her that this is pretty typical, kids are constantly insulting each other, it's how they survive.
It's wrong and it's sad and she has never been around kids that are just plain cruel. Well there was the time down the road but it wasn't directed at her.
I really could go on a rant about public school and the lack of parenting but you all know what I would say...
I just want my child to feel safe and not get a self image complex because of some stupid kid's comments.

Poor Cassie. Kids and adults are/can be cruel. Help her to be happy with who she is and she'll come out on top. You do an awesome job, Steph.

Oh god that is so rude.
It's a good thing she didn't tell you inside or you might be blogging from jail - as I would be.
My son was called chubby by a kid at co-op - and it makes you so mad - because that means the kids are learning in or out of school to be cruel and insult one another.
My kids have heard my husband call me fat - so it is in our homes too.
Sadly there seems to be no escape.
I hate that for Cassie - I was called names my whole childhood and I remember how bad it hurts.
Come to think of it -it doesn't hurt any less when you're grown.
- Deanne said...
I'm so sorry Cassie experienced that. That sucks!
- Paige said...
Ohhhh, I HATE things like that! Makes the momma bear in me rise up and growl. ; )
Poor little girl...

- Colleen said...
unfortunately it's not just public school kids that do this. My son's best friend (at least whom he thinks is his best friend) calls him fat on a regular basis. Teases him, insults him, etc. He didn't used to do this,when the two boys first met. It's only since his older sister arrived that the boy started acting this way. I can't help but wonder if there is a correlation. And this is another homeschool family...but not unschoolers. Maybe that is the difference. Kids are just mean sometimes.

Review: DARKER THAN NIGHT (MÁS NEGRO QUE LA NOCHE), An Embarrassingly Bad 3D Remake
The original Más Negro Que la Noche, or Darker Than Night, was written and directed by the late Carlos Enrique Taboada in 1975.
Widely considered as one of the most important Mexican horror films ever made, it is everything this new 3D remake is not: simple yet effective, atmospheric, coherent, memorable, and serious. Sure, we all can have fun as the characters say the title more than once, but nonetheless, Taboada's film is a solemn take of a classic ghost/haunted house story. Cut to 2014, and we've got not only the characters repeating the title "Más Negro Que la Noche", but also a complete fest of ridiculous material that, needless to say, will piss off those who respect the 1975 version.
Respecting the original premise, Henry Bedwell's Darker Than Night puts a group of four young girlfriends inside the old-fashioned house that one of them just inherited from her deceased aunt Ofelia. The old housekeeper Evangelina (Margarita Sanz) and the aunt's beloved black cat Becker remain in the residence, as the girls move into it. Of course, the place has a sinister atmosphere, and the protagonist Greta (Zuria Vega) soon starts to be tormented by nightmares and just the feel of being there.
The chicks from the original acted in some ways just as the new ensemble. Bedwell maintains the essence of having young, fun and skeptical girls, yet his performers aren't nearly as charismatic as the former cast. Actresses Zuria Vega, Adriana Louvier, Eréndira Ibarra, and Ona Casamiquela lack personality and, plain and simple, skills; in consequence, these characters are basically generic and you just don't care for them.
Sanz - as the housekeeper - offers, by far, the most decent acting in the whole film. This character is closest to Taboada than anything else; she's a constant creepy presence that certainly indicates something else might be going on in the house. However, it feels like she is from a completely different world. In a way, that's the point, as there's a natural age-related contrast between this old character and the group of young gals. There's also, however, a feeling that she comes from a good, atmospheric horror piece, only to be made fun of.
I mean, there are literally jokes on that; for example, we see one of the girls saying things like, "Why are you always trying to scare us, Evengelina?" It sort of plays like a parody of the original and makes for some risible moments. Also, several situations are pure unintentional humor, as well as some of the dialog. Inside the house, there's one sequence of a party, in which Greta's angry boyfriend throws a glass of water at the big, iconic portrait of Aunt Ofelia (an object straight from Taboada's vision). As a whole, the Darker Than Night remake is as if Bedwell was the one throwing - disrespectfully - the glass to a painting of Taboada.
Darker Than Night becomes also a mess as it tries to stick to the key plot moments of the first film, while also adding its own mythology. The "darker than night" black cat Becker is, undoubtedly, the centerpiece of the story, beginning with the aunt's condition that the new house owner (her nephew) must take good care of the animal. That's still the same in this version; however, there's a whole new background story that ultimately makes Becker kind of unimportant. Purists probably won't tolerate this and, on the other hand, any viewer should notice that this is the type of incoherent movie in which something huge happens and there are hardly any consequences. In other words, characters get what they deserve but not really as a straight consequence of their actions.
Ultimately, it becomes an over-the-top show, far away from the somber original.
***Spoilers*** From a moving painting for the cheap thrill; the "joke" of having the characters watching the original film on TV; the monster-like voice of a possessed character; to a, pardon my French, fucking post-credits scene with a killer cat (!); ***End Spoilers***
This might just be the silliest Mexican movie of the year, 3D or not.
Darker Than Night opens in Mexico on Thursday, August 14.
Around the Internet
So it's a better comedy than "No se aceptan devoluciones"?
haha, no doubt.
Count me in! I knew this was going to be awful, but at least it seems to be relatively gorgeous in 3D and laughably bad when it comes to plot and dialogue. Sounds like a blast! An unintentional one but hey, whatever works.
It definitely has the best worst post-credits scene of the year!
Just watched this. I expected it to be bad and it ended up being worse. For the better.
I couldn't stop laughing at the cringeworthy dialogue, the terrible editing, horrendous CGI (The eye impalement scene is SO bad, just get some cow eyes from a butcher, cheaper and much more real than shitty CGI), the horrible acting, the lesbian subplot that never happens because Warner Bros. were probably going to sue them for ripping off "The Haunting" and of course the hilarious post credit scene that makes no sense.
Oddly enough, I still found the cinematography, set design and the 3D great. Margarita Sanz was pretty good too, it's a shame she had to be in this film.
I'm currently signing up for the screenwriting course in the CCC (I'll know if I'm admitted by early september) and I can assure you, I'll never write something as terribad as this, not even at gunpoint. It's a shame since we have so much talent here in Mexico but instead we release stuff like... this and frankly the 3D could have been used for much better material.

The campus wishes to:
- Establish a foundation for support and implementation of the ECHS Program Cohort 1
- Increase student attendance
- Improve ELAR achievement
- Grow in all other core areas
- Build positive relationships with students
BM 1: Target Population criteria has been met by all ECHS program students
BM 2: Partnership Agreement is in place and meeting criteria
BM 6: School Model is a SWS with ECHS students enrolled in core classes by section with a support structure that includes the Vice Principal, Assistant Principal Grade 9, and Counselor for Grade 9
Again the program leaders stated that only the Associate of Arts would be offered, though the Designation Application indicates an Associate of Science pathway as well as several CTE pathways..
- Common best practices as used by other similar size and model ECHS campuses
- Warning of common pitfalls as experiences by other similar size and model ECHS campuses
- Student progress monitoring systems
The campus would like assistance is understanding the differences between the current and pending blueprint implementation and understanding the outcome based measures that the ECHS will be accountable moving forward in the SY2018-19.
There was a very short initial timeline for 2016-17 recruitment of students and developing a implementation solid plan for 2017-18. The ECHS program is moving forward with Cohort 1 of fifty students as recruited and meet the target population criteria.
It is projected that during this first year ECHS students will have access throughout year to the IHE facilities with limited use of the library, computer labs, study rooms, science labs, student services, bookstore, athletic facilities, and possibly food services. As part of the recruitment process for the SY2018-19, all 8th graders have the opportunity to visit the IHE campus prior to entering 9th grade.
Currently, the only four-year course plan/pathway cited by the program leader is an Associate in Arts Degree plan though the Designation Application indicates an Associate of Science pathway as well as several CTE pathways..
There are no workforce/industry partnerships in place at this time.

Easter Island is redolent with mystery. Like most everybody else who first saw these statutes in a classic National Geographic photograph, they seemed to be of another world, certainly not mine. And like everybody else who goes there I couldn't very well resist getting out there on the ancient volcano's sloping hill in the evening, when the setting sun would light them up. But in person something else takes over.
While still mysterious, they are also clearly the cherished heritage of the folks living down the road, the people of Rapa Nui, very real statues of their ancestors, carved from the island's volcanic stone. There is a path through the park where islanders bring their children for family outings. It's very peaceful and full of fun. Somehow the mystery co-exists with this family heritage, the birthright of every child born here. I found that comforting. I added some light, from the side, to bring the faces fully to life. I wanted the moai to be real characters rather than just mysterious icons.

From (blank) to (blank)
Posted by Misti McHatton in Untagged
Most, if not all, of us are in a season where we are stepping out into the unknown, in many different areas and ways.
Usually in seasons like these, we face many different types of emotions: fear, doubt, insecurity, etc. We know that these types of emotions are not what we should be living as children of God. Galatians 5:22-23 tells us: "But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."
So, we are going to discuss how we move from to ? (Doubt to peace, insecurity to self-control, depression to joy, etc) You fill in the blanks with your current needs. I've been attending a Bible series teaching on the book of Esther. We have pulled out some nuggets of encouragement regarding this very thing that I'd like to share with you.

Looking Beyond Dena'ina House Pits and Cache Pits: There is something else out there (2010)
DOCUMENT Full-Text
Frequently, surface depressions at Dena'ina ancestral sites are interpreted as houses or cache pits. A review of ethnographic and historical literature suggests that surface depressions at Dena'ina ancestral sites are a result of several activities beyond habitation and caching. Pitfall traps, temporary shelters, cooking pits, menstrual huts, water wells, graves, and trees uprooted for beluga hunting are some features that can result in surface depressions. Possible feature locations,...

Sebastian Beckers research interests are public finance, budget consolidation, empirical economic research and energy economics.
Dissertation Project
"Einflussfaktoren kommunaler Haushaltskonsolidierung – Eine empirische Analyse" (Working title, german)
The public budgets of German cities and municipalities have been in a desolate state for years. Although this process has been slowed down by the positive economic development of recent years, the total debt (both in the public and private sectors) increased by a further 13% between 2010 and 2016 and reached a total volume of 337 billion euros. This corresponds to a per capita debt of slightly more than 4.400 euros.
The research project investigates the underlying causes of this enormous debt and attempts to develop an optimal solution strategy in the course of a long-term and holistic empirical analysis with the help of which the deficit can be reduced in the future. The work focuses in particular on the influencing factors of budgetary control on the consolidation process.
Research Project
Technology-based Energy System Analysis (TESA) in the course of the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance (JARA)
In the course of the project house TESYS (Technology-based Energy System Analysis / http://www.rwth-aachen.de/cms/root/Forschung/Strukturen/Projekthaeuser/~kuse/TESA/), the Department of Economic, Social and Technological History is responsible for a subproject on the topic of global factors influencing the innovation and diffusion process of renewable energy technologies.
The focus here is on the interdependencies of political, technological, social and economic variables on the maturity of a new technology and its subsequent market penetration. This approach, known as STEPLE methodology, is applied in a long-term and holistic empirical analysis using the case study of Viktor Kaplan's hydroturbine. The aim of the research work is to identify general trends and counter-trends, as well as drivers and possibly inhibiting factors of innovation processes in the field of renewable energies, in order to draw conclusions about further developments in the course of the energy turnaround.

I met Inaam Bacha and his wife Sumera in Thana City – a beautiful leafy town surrounded by beautiful mountains in Malakand District. It was inspirational to have a conversation with an educated, progressive and cultured couple in a faraway town.
Sumera is the first woman of the district to have obtained a driving license and can now drive across the city. Why it is a big deal in Malakand Division is something we will come back to a bit later.
I was there along with my wife and young daughter on a family vacation. We enjoyed the natural beauty of Malakand and Swat and met with many exceptional, ordinary people. No big names of politics and business, they have contributed immensely to their communities. They had fascinating stories to tell, of horror that was the Taliban takeover and of courage, determination and resistance in the face of reactionary militant groups who had imposed a reign of terror in 2008-09 on Malakand Division. I mention only one here and that too very briefly.
Our host was Comrade Fazal-e-Rabi – a well-known progressive political and social activist of the town. Known as Lal Da in his town, he survived a Taliban attempt on his life in 2009. He came under attack because he led a campaign against the reactionaries and refused to leave the town. His courage inspired others to stay and resist.
It is really tragic that mostly educated, cultured people of Swat and surrounding areas went through horrendous pain and a catastrophic experience at the hands of fanatics. The Pakistani state and ruling classes need to learn important lessons from that time to prevent it happening again anywhere in Pakistan. Ultimately, it is the ordinary people who paid the price of the mistakes made and flawed policies pursued by the ruling classes and the state.
Women and young girls in Malakand Division were the worst victims, the famous and courageous Malala being only one of them. The schools for girls were closed down, women came to be imprisoned in their homes with gender segregation having taken an extreme form. It could be a bit difficult for us to understand what it really takes for a woman to drive a car in a conservative society that was ruled by ultra-reactionaries not very long ago.
There is no legal restriction on female driving in Pakistan including in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa but few dare to drive in the face of conservative tribal and feudal traditions and social norms that prevent women from deciding what is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is bad for them even in matters of life and death for women. The state is no help, with its own laws and decrees imposing restrictions on women's rights and seeking to determine and condition social behavior.
Sumera Inaam, a college teacher and mother of three beautiful daughters, decided to break with the norm and learn driving. She was encouraged and helped by her husband. But opposition too begins at home. Her in-laws opposed the idea but that did not affect her determination. For this she was brutally taunted and condemned as immoral. But, with the help of her progressive and enlightened husband she managed to become the first woman to get a proper driving license from the authority concerned.
There are social situations where such 'small' achievements could be liberating.
She can move around freely now without being in the company of a stranger called a driver. She drives to her college where she teaches economics. She still faces unfriendly stares from conservative men and woman who consider it immoral and sinful for a woman to drive. While travelling with her, we practically learnt what she goes through every day. A male passerby, on seeing her in the driving seat, remarked that she was the cause of hot weather and scarce rain. Her 'sin' could stop the rains and raise the temperatures.
But there are also those women and men in the area who appreciate and laud her courage and passion. Not everyone there is a dyed in the wool conservative bent on opposing new ideas and attitude tooth and nail. But it does take courage and strength to challenge norms and codes that are now so many fetters upon life and movement. Sumera told us that it was one of the happiest days of her life when she took her mother to the doctor and later drove about the hospital area. Her mother, who opposed her learning to drive initially, is now happy to see her daughter have her way.
Initiative opens the gates for others to follow through. Already, another woman has applied for a driving license in Malakand District. Change may slowly have started to come. The KP government should take initiatives to encourage women to become economically active and play a more independent and assertive role. Educated and confident young women such as Sumera can become agents of change. The active participation of women in social, political and economic life can help build a more tolerant, inclusive, progressive and forward-looking society.

The acquisition of the e-commerce agency, ScanCommerce, in July 2019 adds an actual e-Commerce engine to our product portfolio targeted to the retail industry. The new business area will increase the marked share in the mid segment of chains with 5-50.
- The acquisition of ScanCommerce means that we're now adding a strong eCommerce platform to the infrastructure and price engine that many chains are already using. With this we're able to deliver a complete end-to-end solution across mobile platforms, online and instore – now with extreme short time-to-market, which today is crucial for retailers who wants to effectively bridge their stores and e-commerce, our CEO, Henrik Salicath, explains.
The strengthened retail product portfolio means that we're now seriously targeting small and medium sized chains. We expect that it'll already in 2020 have a significant positive impact on our business.
- Our experience shows that for many of the medium-sized and smaller retailers it's crucial that we're able to deliver, quickly and seamlessly, a complete omnichannel solution and spare them searching for many different suppliers. That's what we're able to do, now that we've acquired ScanCommerce, and it also adds several other advantages, says Henrik Salicath.
It's increasingly important for smaller chains to deliver a seamless and consistent buying experience across all sales channels. Including a complete solution that's able to handle complex discount structures that always provides the right price to the customer and gives an overview of the availability of goods.
At Fiftytwo we've among other things specialized in digital business applications to the retail industry, which support all sales channels and commerce platforms. We deliver, today, solutions to the leading retailers in Denmark including Matas, Salling Group, BAUHAUS, Magasing, Dagrofa, Illum, Neye and more.
The majority of all retailers, regardless of size, are forced to break down the silos between online and the offline world and internally across locations, inventory, order management, payment etc. if they want to grow.
At the same time there's an evident trend in the market where native online shops increasingly starts to open offline stores.
- Our new e-Commerce unit and our efficient price engine make it possible to quickly and flexible deliver a complete omnichannel package to the online retailers who wish to conquer the conventional retail stage – or the offline retailers that step into the online universe, Henrik Salicath explains.
ScanCommerce, who has since 1999 delivered e-Commerce solutions and webshops to several leading companies in Denmark, changes at the same time name to Fiftytwo. All 20 employees and the 3 founders continue from their main office in Kolding but will now get access to more resources and muscles when it comes to the ambition of future growth.
- The entire ScanCommerce team as we know it today will continue from our main office in Kolding. What's new is that we're now part of larger and more robust organization and we'll get more resources for development, says Peter Klindt who's one of the 3 founders of the company.
ScanCommerce delivers solutions to Fleggaard, Brands4kids, Calle, Frishop, Davidsens Tømmerhandel and more.

Yesterday. Wow. It went really well, even though it was SUPER hot, we processed 48 chickens with our customers. At the end of the afternoon, we finally weighed one of our gorgeous birds, a smaller one. Over 8lbs. Schnikes!
I did the calculations and we started with 61 chicks and brought 55 of them to harvest, which is extraordinary. I'm feeling so grateful to those bubs, our customers and am so happy with our setup for raising them. They really were happy and healthy birds, and will taste amazing because they lived in the great outdoors in the sun, rain, & wind on pasture. We used electronet for their paddock, and put them into their chicken tractors at night. They got lots of exercise and had strong legs until the end. Their breasts were not a cake of matted on crap, like most broilers. We fed them on the other side of the paddock from where their night shelter was, so they actually ran over to eat. We fed them kale and other greens as chicks so they knew how to forage once they went into their paddock, and in their gizzards was plenty of grass as proof. And I'll add that cooing and loving on these birds helps too. They started on 22% protein feed, certified organic from Cashton. Then they went onto an 18% certified organic grower feed also from cashton. Very expensive, but totally worth it as having such a high survival rate is unusual.

Academic thesis
|Christina Robens:
|Wrapping Katharina Fritsch's indoor sculptures. Simulation, examination and prevention of a surface phenomenon on matt monochrome surfaces
|Original - Translation
|The thesis deals with the fabrication of standardised and reproducible mock-ups imitating the surface morphology of spray painted indoor sculptures by the artist Katharina Fritsch with regards to their materiality and their visual appearance. Test series were developed to explore the currently practices packing method of wrapping the artist's sculptures with commercial cling wrap. Pressure and friction tests were conducted in order to simulate the mechanical forces and load occurring during transport and handling. Tests were also conducted on combinations of packing materials currently in use. The changes in the surface morphology of the mock-ups before and after testing were captured using spectrometric methods.
The formation of the surface damages was localised and interpreted using a 3D digital microscope and analysed with a scanning electron microscope.
As a result of this study recommendations can be made for a safer method of handling and wrapping sculptures by Katharina Fritsch.

Not a tone of uncertainty
or a sting of calamity
or a shriek of ambiguity
lives to dispel the makeup of words
No endangered emotion
exists in our language of devotion
as if to deny the completion
of unrehearsed patterns of words
Sometimes stable, but quite often disheveled
spurs of unexpected moments gather
in alignment to provoke and condone
a rebirth of unknowns
or a hindrance to our own
kinds of things as these words
A build-up for a breakdown
and most favored when upside down
Gifts of life, thoughts of wonder–
all an exchange for our heart's exposure
To receive, to grieve, to laugh
controlled by memories and lost by the untapped
Words imply, they deny, they revive
Yet I relish every syllable like short breaths of air
As they move in rhythmic shapes and sounds
Some distant, others near
Words, like simplicity or complex consumed in time
yet never unlearned even as we discover
that sticks and stones are fine and dandy
but words are tools that come in handy

Job Design
Scientific Management
First. Find, say, ten or fifteen different men (prefereably in as many separate establishments and parts of the country) who are especially skilful in doing the particular work to be analyzed.
Second. Study the exact series of elementary operations or motions which each of these men uses in doing the work which is being investigated, as well as the implements each man uses.
Third. Study with a stop-watch the time required to make each of these elementary movements and then select the quickest way of doing each element of the work.
Fourth. Eliminate all false movements, slow movements, and useless movements.
Fifth. After doing away with all unnecessary movements, collect into one series the quickest and best movements as well as the best implements.
