Yeah! It's Friday! I'm doing a little dance just because it's Friday! And to make it better- it's snowing :-) I love it when it snows on weekends because it means: 1. I don't have to drive in it to get to work. 2. I can lay in bed and stare out my window all day. 3. I can actually go outside and play in it! Expect pictures from the snow next week. Do you guys like it when I do posts about things that aren't fashion related? Like pictures of my family/animals, things I see or do? I've been wondering that for a while. Please tell me your thoughts on this.
I'm working on a big post right now- still editing pictures. I had so much fun during this photo shoot and there are so many pictures that I love. I'll just say this- Table Top and Lady Gaga music! It's so hard to decide which ones to use! Do you ever have this problem?
Work is almost done for the day! We're out early due to weather conditions- so I'm headed to the gym. But I just wanted to leave you all with this video someone sent me. If you know me you know that I love my dog more than anything in this world! And this video is the sweetest! So enjoy!
Oh and if you get a chance follow me on Twitter (click here)! I feel as if I'm tweeting to myself sometimes.
Love you all! Have a wonderful weekend!!

People used to just want stuff. The more, the better. And not only more stuff, but fancier stuff. Many of us took the same approach in our travels. We went to the most glamorous places, stayed in the trendiest spots. We took pictures so we could show that we had "acquired" these places just as we had acquired stuff along the way. We came, we saw, we acquired.
But something has changed.
Many of us have realized that life is about more than how much we consume. Instead, we now search for meaning wherever we can find it.
So when we travel, we go beneath the surface of a place and look for experiences that enrich and stretch us. We try to connect with people. We embrace what makes each culture distinct, even as we recognize that we have more in common with our world neighbors than we may have thought. We discover insights about others—and ourselves.
My business partner, Joe Diaz, and I have traveled this way for years. Sometimes we have a specific purpose in mind: I've volunteered in Johannesburg and Borneo; Joe has returned to his roots in Spain. Sometimes we're more spontaneous—we decide where to start a trip and where to end it, but we let chance determine what happens in between and whom we meet.
Article continues below advertisement
We have learned that it is not the physical surroundings or the iconic sights that give a place meaning. Rather, the people and their stories are what make a trip memorable: the heated political debate in an Irish pub, the conversation with an Argentine about communicating with his teenage daughter, the breakfast with a swami at his academy near Mumbai. As Joe says, "I may forget what I ate and where I stayed. But I'll remember those experiences all my life."
In January 2007, Joe and I took a spur-of-the-moment trip to India. Sitting on a beach in Goa, we realized there are many people who travel with this mindset but few resources to guide and inspire them. That's why we decided to start Afar.
Afar is for readers who are curious about everything the planet and its people have to offer. That's what the magazine delivers: fascinating individuals, intriguing neighborhoods, cultural discoveries, unusual and local places to stay and eat, and reports on the world's arts, languages, products, and music. And for every issue, we send a writer off on one of those unplanned, spontaneous journeys that Joe and I like to take.
Article continues below advertisement
The magazine is only the beginning. In early 2010, we'll launch a Web site that will connect you with like-minded global citizens. We hope to create partnerships in television and on radio to bring you the sights and sounds of the world's cultures. We are planning a series of books and events. And because we strongly believe that travel benefits both the individual and society, we have created the Afar Foundation, which will sponsor cultural education and immersion travel for students who cannot otherwise afford to experience another part of the world.
Joe and I invite you to take part in any or all of these endeavors. We have met many travelers like you on our journeys, and we believe you share both our passion and our values. Tell us what you think of Afar and our plans for the company. And be sure to tell us where travel takes you.

PORTSMOUTH — "A 20-mile-long parking lot," "Red Sox traffic" and "Boston commuter traffic" were among the phrases motorists used to describe their drives in to the Boston-Portsmouth Air Show Saturday.
Regardless of how it was described, those traveling to the air show, held at the Portsmouth International Airport at Pease, learned one collective lesson — be prepared to leave early, or be prepared to wait.
Traffic at the entrance to the airport began to back up as early as 8 a.m. as early birds waited in line to be the first through the gate.
By roughly noon, traffic on Interstate 95 north was backed up nearly to the Massachusetts border, according to New Hampshire State Police Troop A Sgt. James Downey.
On the Spaulding Turnpike, cars were bumper-to-bumper all the way to the Dover Tolls.
"It's been ongoing," Downey said.
Jeremy Hartwell, of Medford, Mass., and his friends sat in traffic for most of their two-hour drive to the airshow, finally getting to the event just a couple of hours before the festivities ended.
"Once you hit 95, you wished you were dead," Hartwell said. "And we drive in Boston commuter traffic every day."
Motorists traveling from other parts of New Hampshire encountered similar lines on other major roadways.
Will and Penny Koch, of Claremont, said it took them about 35 minutes to travel two miles on Route 4 as they approached the Seacoast around 9 a.m. Saturday. It would have been longer if they didn't know a good shortcut, Will Koch said.
"It would have been an hour," he said.
For those who wanted to avoid the heavy traffic, the key was to get close to the airport by 8 a.m.
Jack and Cheryl Gambale of Billerica, Mass., said they left their home at 7:30 a.m. to avoid the traffic, a feat they largely accomplished when they arrived in the parking lot by 8:30 a.m.
Others, like Elizabeth Bond, of Windham, thought they were going to outsmart the traffic when they left early, but discovered it was worse than expected.
Bond left her home at about 7:40 a.m., but hit traffic just off Gosling Road at about 8:30 a.m. An hour later, she made it into the parking lot.
Despite the problems, most said they accepted that heavy traffic comes with a regional attraction like the Boston-Portsmouth Air Show.
"It's what you should expect," said Elsie Swett, who drove with her husband Bob for about two hours from Meredith to attend the air show.
It's that kind of patience that Steven Wade, one of the event organizers, said he hopes eventgoers will have when traveling to such a show.
"We just hope they have some patience with any kind of large, outdoor event like this," Wade said. "It can be a slow process, but at least they can enjoy the beautiful day."
He added that some motorists stuck on the turnpike also got a chance for some entertainment, as some of the early performance could be seen from the highway.
Wade said the event teamed up with local police for a traffic plan, which included warning motorists for weeks about the upcoming delays.
"This time of year has heavy traffic even without the air show," Wade said.
And once everyone saw the show overhead, most agreed on one thing.
"It's worth every minute of it," Bob Swett said.
Portsmouth air show traffic turns roads into a 'parking lot'
PORTSMOUTH — "A 20-mile-long parking lot," "Red Sox traffic" and "Boston commuter traffic" were among the phrases motorists used to describe their drives in to the Boston-Portsmouth Air Show Saturday.

Hidden Summit is the newest release from Robyn Carr's wonderful Virgin River series. From the author's website.~
Sick of running into her cheery ex-husband and his new wife, Leslie Petruso accepts a job at the Virgin River branch of Haggerty Construction and takes the high road right out of town. Now she's got Paul Haggerty's business running like a well-oiled machine. In fact, things are so busy Paul jumps at the chance to hire an extra set of hands.
Just like Leslie, Conner Danson has been burned by love. But if Leslie was disappointed by her relationship going bad, Conner was decimated. He's got no time for women…although he spends an awful lot of time pretending not to notice Leslie. And she's pretty busy "ignoring" the chemistry between them.
According to Conner and Leslie, they have only one thing in common—they're done with love. But everyone in Virgin River can see that things are heating up at Haggerty Construction. And as far as Paul Haggerty can tell, the best thing he can do is hang on to his hard hat and watch the sparks fly!
I love each and every visit to Virgin River. I get to see so many of my favorite characters from past books and we always get to meet someone new. Leslie and Conner are the newest residents to Virgin River. Conner is in Virgin River waiting to go home to testify against a murderer. Leslie is in Virgin River trying to get away from her ex-husband who thinks they should still be friends, even though he cheated on her and is now re-married with a baby on the way.
Conner was told not to start up any relationships while in hiding, and since he has trust issues when it comes to women, he didn't expect it to come into play. However, he is attracted to Leslie from the first time he sees her, and Leslie seems to be just as attracted to Conner. Conner and Leslie take things slow for a while, but soon can't keep their hands off one another.
Of course Leslie's ex keeps showing up in town and Conner still has to go back home to testify as the only eye witness, but Leslie and Conner both know they have finally found the one. Conner knows he has to share the truth about his past with Leslie before he has to leave town to testify, and Leslie keeps his secret for him. Leslie and Conner have the full support from everyone in Virgin River as soon as they move to town. I love how welcoming everyone in Virgin River is to new people.
Robyn Carr gives her readers another winner with Hidden Summit. Once again, we will get 3 books from the Virgin River series starting with Hidden Summit on December 27, 2011. Redwood Bend is set for release in March 2012 followed by Sunrise Point in May 2012.

If ever there was a good time to start banking with somebody else, it's now. New government-enforced rules mean that banks have to transfer your banking within seven days, including handling the transfer of your current accounts, direct debits and standing orders. Any inconvenience will also be compensated for, so there really is no excuse if you're dissatisfied with the people currently in charge of looking after your hard-earned money.
With 33 banks to choose from who entered the scheme -- all of which are offering different incentives -- the choice isn't easy, so I'm going to outline some of the most interesting deals available right now from providers with some of the highest customer satisfaction rates. There's really no 'one size fits all solution' and there are certainly pros and cons for each bank, but hopefully you should spot one that ticks enough of the boxes for it to be worth doing.
Of all the providers on this list, First Direct is the most interesting. They work in a similar way to GiffGaff in that there are no First Direct branches you can walk into, relying instead on 24/7 internet and phone banking. I know the lack of a physical building to go to might immediately start ringing alarm bells but there are a couple of aspects to keep in mind. First is their amazing customer service, which has won several awards over the years. Consumer watchdog Which? recently posted an 84 per cent customer satisfaction rating -- the highest of any bank.
I also had concerns about the need to withdraw large sums of cash or depositing a cheque, but after speaking to a lovely Yorkshire lady named Jenny I was swiftly assured. First Direct is a subsidiary of HSBC, so if large amounts needed to be withdrawn then you just call up and they'll authorise a local branch to release the money to you. Cheques can be paid in via post or a local post office.
I've saved the best part until last: they'll give you £100 to switch over to First Direct. Yes I know, I've seen the advert with the platypus as well and realise he says you get £125, but they must have changed it within the last few days. And who are you going to believe, me or a platypus? Don't answer that. Bear in mind that there are a few hoops you need to jump through (detailed here) but if you qualify then it's an excellent incentive. They'll also give you £100 if you aren't satisfied after six months and will even help you move your account elsewhere. Neat, huh?
You'll also get a £250 interest-free overdraft, with a rate of 15.9 per cent interest rate on anything over that. Now, it's possible that if you're always in credit then it may be worth switching to an interest-paying current account, but considering you get a £100 lump sum you'll have to weigh up the benefits of long term vs instant returns yourself. All in all, though, I believe that First Direct are offering a fantastic all-round package on paper and are well worth considering, especially if all you're after from a bank is great customer service.
If you find yourself travelling regularly in Europe, then FlexAccount may be the right service for you as you get free, multi-trip European travel insurance. This travel cover has been rated five stars for eight years running by Defaqto, which I'm assuming is good because they make a point of it on their website. They aren't too shabby in the customer service satisfaction department either, with a 77 per cent rating according to our trusty friends over at Which? again. You'll also get 'Flexclusives' which not only provoke I-see-what-you-did-there wry smiles, but also offer rates and deals on services such as credit cards, mortgages and loans. Have a gander here to see if there are incentives that may be relevant to you.
If those offers seem a bit too niche for what you're looking for, then don't worry: Nationwide is offering a second tempting current account. Known as the FlexDirect Account, this one is offering one of the highest available interest rates for a current account. This includes 5 per cent in-credit interest on balances up to £2,500 for the first year (which essentially matches what the First Direct platypus was offering, just not upfront). You'll also have access to a 0 per cent overdraft for the first 12 months and reduced fees for an arranged overdraft after that.
With two excellent accounts, Nationwide should offer something that would be of interest to anyone looking to switch, but I'll leave it to you to decide whether either are better than what First Direct is offering. You can find all the details for the FlexDirect Account here.
While its overdraft system might not be as favourable as those listed above, as their interest free planned option only lasts for six months, Halifax is offering one of the best free money deals around at the moment. Providing you switch by the end of the year and switch at least two direct debits, not only will they give you £100 but you'll also get £5 a month as a reward, which I suppose justifies the Rewards Account name.
On top of this, you'll get up to 15 per cent cash back from participating retailers, including Argos, Play.com, Morrisons and (my personal favourite) Domino's Pizza, with their Cashback Extra scheme. There are no codes or vouchers; you simply use your card to shop online after clicking the personalised offer and the cash back will be credited the following month. There's also no limit to the amount of cash back you can receive, but you are limited to how many times you can take advantage of each offer.
So not only are you getting a potential £160 in your first year, but you'll also get money back for products you were potentially going to buy anyway. It's a strong proposition for anyone who thinks they will always stay in credit.
Virgin is going to start offering a current account in the very near future and a phone call to them suggested that they are aiming to launch it before year's end. I'm speculating here, but I suspect they may be quite aggressive with their offers in order to entice people away from their current providers. This could result in deals for its television or broadband services but could also include offers on Virgin trains and air travel. If any of this sounds like it would be of interest then it may be worth holding off for now and registering your interest, which you can do here.
This article was written with the intention of showing you that there are great offers currently available to you, and was not meant as a comprehensive guide to banking. There are other quality current accounts not mentioned here from the likes of NatWest and Santander, so I do urge you to shop around if none of the above tick the important boxes for you personally. For example, all of the accounts in this article (other than Virgin Money) require you to deposit between £750 to £1,000 a month in order to activate the rewards or to get the account for free. If that's an issue for you then it's definitely worth looking for one that doesn't require this investment.
Finally, it's important to note that there is no real reward for loyalty when it comes to banking, so if someone is offering better interest rates or has amazing customer satisfaction then there really is no reason to stick with your current provider.
If you have had a great (or not so great) experience with a particular bank or building society then please let us know in the comments below.

Many christians nowadays are famaliar with the word Sabbath. Sabbath actually means "rest". It's orgin is found in the creation in Genesis when God created the heavens and the earth in 6 days but on the 7th day God rested (Genesis 2:2 - By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done). On the 7th day God rested, blessed it and made it holy, but God does not need rest, blessings or to be made holy, we do! That is why God gave us the 7th day and put it also in the 10 commandments as the 4th commandment in which God tells us to "Remember" this day and keep it holy, 6 days you are to labor and do all your work but the 7th day is the Sabbath day. God commanded us to keep this day not because God wants to boss us around but instead God wants to give us rest, bless us and make us holy. What many christians may or may not be familar with is that the 7th day is and always has been "Saturday". Either way you look at it, from mans point of view, or from God's, we can clearly see that the 7th day is Saturday. For example when you look on the calandar or in the dictionary (which was created by man) the 7th day is Saturday. And when you look in the Bible it is the same (Mark 16:9 -When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week). The bible testifies that Jesus rose or ressurected on the first day of the week. But what day did Jesus ressurect? On a Sunday! That is why everybody celebrates Easter (resurection day) on a Sunday because Sunday is the first day of the week. (Mark 16:1 - When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb). Starting from verse 1 we can see clearly that the Sabbath day and the first day of the week are two totally different days because when the Sabbath day (7th day) was over the very early the next morning was the first day of the week (Sunday-the day after Saturday).
I was shocked to find this out because my whole life I was taught that Sunday was the day of rest (Sabbath day). I was even more shocked to find out that many Christians knew this but still continued the practice of Sunday worship (1st day of the week) despite the the 7th day being a commandment of God and despite all the clear evidence that showed this in everyday things such as calandars, dictionary, history books and most important GODS WORD!. I thought to myself, how can this be possible? Why does everybody go to church on Sunday when Saturday is the true Sabbath? Then is was shown to me (Daniel 7:25 - He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time.) When you fully read Daniel, it is clear that the one who he is talking about here is Satan. One thing Satan will try and succeed in doing is changing God's laws which he gave us for our salvation. When you look back in history this prophecy that Daniel saw was fullfilled in 321 A.D. at the Council of Nicea during the Roman Empire (which was a pagan empire that believed in multiple gods the main one being the god of the unconquered sun), Sabbath day (Saturday) was changed to Sunday, the day in which they worshipped the the Sun God. From that time on people have continued to follow Sunday.
It makes perfect sense, Satan who we know wants to lead us astray from God has decieved us from realizing the the truth by changeing what God gave us to be blessed and made holy. And it is not just the Sabbath day but many other of Gods laws and teachings that God gave us. Jesus said " I am lord of the Sabbath", but Sabbath was abolished during the times of the dark ages. That is why Jesus said he would come again (Hebrews 9:28 - so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.) Why would Christ have to appear again to bring salvation? Didn't he do that 2000 years ago? Without Sabbath day, Passover and all the feast of God that were changed along time ago there is no salvation.
All thanks and praise to Christ Ahnsahnghong who brought back all the truths of God including the Sabbath, truely he is our God the one whom the bible has testified about since the creation.

Padma mami aka Padma Chandilyan, daughter of the writer Chandilyan and disciple of Palghat KV Narayanaswamy, has produced many musicians of the upcoming generation. The entire family is also musical with mridangist Srimushnam Raja Rao mama and their son Raghavendra Rao who is none other than music composer Sean Roldan.
Let me start off with the first time I met mami. I had auditioned for a TV show, where I met an old music friend of mine, who was learning from mami then. She offered to introduce me to mami and took me to her house. It was 2 PM and mami had just finished her house chores and was lying down. She said, "paduthunde kekaren… oru paatu paaduma…" (sing something, I will lie down and listen). I started singing Dikshitar's Ranganayakam in Nayaki raga, and she was up and sitting straight by the time I started singing Anupallavi. She said that is the respect one needs to give to music. Whether I sang that well or not, it did give me a good feel and a nice lesson. She used to refer even a younger musician as 'avar' stating the same reason. In a world where musicians spoke ill of their contemporaries, this was a value to learn and adopt.
We have learnt quite a few songs in detail – to the extent that whenever I'm singing that phrase / line of song, I would unconsciously recollect all the mistakes, corrections and advices she gave and a faint smile would creep up my face, every time. One such best memory is with Bhairavi ata thaala varnam, viriboni.
Usually as a warm up during the start of the class, we sing a varnam. That fateful day it was viriboni in bhairavi. Maami came running from the kitchen when we were in Anupallavi, and asked us to stop our shoddy singing. Then she went ahead to re-teach the same, and explaining how and when to use the two dhaivathams – when the next swaram is ni use the second, if its pa use the first. I then realised how wrongly I had been singing the same song for years together! Simply singing at the right note does add to the song's beauty 🙂
We used to sing kalpana swaram, neraval and aalapana (these are extempore ways of expressing the raga while a song is being rendered), like a relay. Ten plus students sitting in a semi-circle and singing when their turn comes, secretly plotting how to excel than the others (while waiting for your turn). A mere aha from Maami was all needed; a healthy competition it was.
Raja Rao mama used to take a few classes instead of Maami. During one such class when I learnt the only Harikamboji song I know till date – "Muruga Thirumaal Maruga". There was a second sangathi for the Anupallavi – "Thiru ulaavum Then Pazhani Deivame". Maama used to say how the sangathi should be sung if the ones carrying the Lord in veedhi ula were singing it – not on the landing of the beat, but in a whimsical way, matching their footsteps. He used the tamizh phrase kaalara ulaathara maadhiri. And then guffaw at his own imagination!
There are many more songs and great moments to talk about… "Meenakshi memudham dehi", "Ninne nammithi nayya", "Bala gopala", "Aazhi mazhai kanna" – each of it worth a post's length. But I sign off here with a smile in my face, reminiscing…
Until next,
Vid 🙂
P.S: This is the second post in the Guru Vandanam series.

About Us
Welcome to the FACIT Measurement System and FACIT.org (www.facit.org). We manage the distribution and information regarding administration, scoring and interpretation of a range of questionnaires that measure health-related quality of life for people with chronic illnesses. Our first questionnaire, the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – General (FACT-G), was developed and validated over a quarter of a century ago and has been used in hundreds of studies worldwide.
Since the publication of the first FACT-G validation paper in 1993, we have developed more than 90 questionnaires and translated and linguistically validated them into over 70 languages for use in over 100 countries. While cancer remains a major focus, we have also developed and translated instruments for fatigue, treatment satisfaction, spiritual well-being, HIV, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, and other chronic conditions. This accumulated work has produced over 600 unique items.
The FACIT mission is to promote use and application of these measurements as a means of improving healthcare for chronic illness. Please see the Overview section for additional information. Questionnaires, scoring and interpretation materials are available in the Questionnaires section.

Commentary on Love Song by John R. Nash
Love is not a simple subject that can be dealt with casually. Of course there is the omnipresent concept of brotherly love that allows one to get along with another, the fleeting love that preys on desperate souls, the friendly love that satisfies the effervescent youthfulness of the heart. These ways of loving all fulfill the heart's desires in one way or another. However, the love that penetrates the heart like a jar of honey or a jagged dagger, depending on the case, is the love bestowed from a passionate lover. Love Song, written by John R. Nash, depicts this cherishable love as something indescribable, fine and delicate, and ultimately, a treasure.
The beginning line of the poem sets the imagery of love being as delicate as a butterfly. The butterfly represents this love that the narrator holds so gingerly in his hands.
This idea of fragileness is carried throughout the poem. Although its entirety can be placed within the small confines of his cupped hands, the monstrosity of its power certainly exceeds those limits - even if it is, in fact, impossible to explain or "has the least to do with reason." (line 9) The narrator has total control over what he can do with this "love." This love has the capability to endow life or death upon its owner. " . . .used wrong, there is no harm it cannot do." (line 12) How disconcerting it feels to know that such a small thing can bring such great destruction to one's life if used the wrong way. Yet, the narrator relinquishes the threat and presents this love to his romantic endeavor.
The underlying theme of this piece of poetry is to convey that love is delicate and should be...

Why should small businesses invest in R&D?
R&D is one of the main ways businesses have of gaining and keeping an edge over the competition. R&D leads to innovations that improve business processes and, when commercialised, better products and services.
Why is Callaghan Innovation trying to encourage more R&D?
New Zealand's prosperity relies on economic growth. One of the keys to this is innovation, which will help businesses produce the high-value products needed to expand and diversify our economy - reducing our dependence on unprocessed primary products. By the standards of other advanced economies, our R&D investment is low.
Callaghan Innovation's role is to accelerate the commercialisation of innovation. We offer products and services that increase potential to innovate and help convert that potential into commercial success.
We have a group within Callaghan Innovation with a dedicated focus on supporting the Maori economy. We're seeing increasing interest from Maori firms and corporations in investing in R&D to build on their already-strong primary industries and to develop more high-value products and services for export.
How does a small business without a separate R&D department carry out this function?
For small businesses, R&D-driven innovation is often more about a focused effort to deliver better products and services for customers, rather than establishing an R&D department. Outsourcing R&D can be a good option.
Callaghan Innovation provides businesses with a single point of access to New Zealand's innovation system. We have a national overview of R&D talent and facilities and can direct businesses to the right people - whether at another business, a university, a Crown research institute, a research organisation or our own team of researchers, technologists and engineers. We can also help businesses access training, markets and capital.
What sort of help and guidance is there for companies that receive R&D grants?
We award and administer more than $141 million of business R&D grants every year. Our investment managers, experienced business people, are experts in helping businesses with R&D. This can range from how to run an R&D project, through to finding global experts to help solve challenging problems.
What are some examples of businesses that hit the big time through R&D investment?
Many of New Zealand's biggest and most successful high-tech businesses started small.
When Sir Graeme Douglas couldn't get the products he wanted for his pharmacy, he started making his own. Douglas Pharmaceuticals has grown from producing cough syrup to earning hundreds of millions of dollars and selling products in about 40 countries, thanks in part to investment in R&D, which is around 10 per cent of its annual turnover.
Other top NZ companies that value R&D are Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, Gallagher Group, Methven, Glidepath, Weta Digital and Orion Heath.
Mary Quin is chief executive of Callaghan Innovation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about reader ministry training at All Saints Centre for Mission and Ministry. If you have any other questions, please contact us.
What is Reader Ministry?
There is a brief introduction to Reader ministry here. For more information, click here to download the document What is a Reader? from the Church of England's central Reader website. Also have a look at the website for your own diocese, which should give some information on Reader Ministry and the people involved with it in your diocese.
I'm really interested in Reader Ministry. What do I do next?
The first port of call for anyone who feels called to Reader ministry is their own incumbent. This is partly because Readers are licensed to the incumbent. Your incumbent can get an application pack from the Diocesan Warden of Readers.
What is the process for selection?
The Warden of Readers arranges selection panels each year. The panel will either recommend you for training or suggest that you do some more preparatory work with your incumbent.
How long is the training?
The initial Reader training course with All Saints is two years of training, each year running from September to about May. After licensing as a Reader, each diocese has a specific programme of post-licensing training for Readers, usually over a period of another two years and generally involving less work than the initial two years of training.
When does training take place?
Weeknight sessions are organised in three terms with a half-term break in each. Weeknights begin in early September and continue to the end of May. Each Diocese has teaching one evening a week, but All Saints students can attend any centre and are offered a choice at the start of their course.
Where does it happen?
There is a teaching centre in each Diocese, the exact location will be publicised at the start of each year. Weeknight training is delivered in several venues across the region. The number and siting of these varies from year to year according to diocesan needs and the number of students. Currently, the main teaching venues for the North-West are in Blackburn, Liverpool, Manchester and Warrington. There are also centres on the Isle of Man, and in Mansfield (weeknights) and Clay Cross (weekends) for those from Derby and Southwell & Nottingham.
What about weekend teaching?
For students from Chester, Liverpool and Manchester teaching takes place on 6 Sundays, usually in Warrington. In the Isle of Man, Derby and Nottingham this may vary.
Is it all about writing essays?
Each module is assessed to make sure that those in training are meeting the required standard for licensing as a Reader. There are assessments for each module but as it says on the page on assessment (click here), they use a variety of methods. There are written assignments, some of which are more like essays than others – as well as exercises like a formal study of a passage from the bible, they include other written exercises like theological reflections, a rule of life, a survey of mission opportunities in a parish,. There are also some exercises which are very much rooted in practical ministry – sermons (both written and also a recorded sermon on video), plans for leading worship, a presentation in a church context
Is it part of a degree course?
All the modules can be studied as part of a Foundation Degree in Mission and Ministry awarded by the University of Chester, but they can also be studied without that university link. Each diocese has its own policy on whether Reader training includes a University award or not – though even where Reader training is not usually for the University award, trainees can elect to pay the additional cost themselves and work towards the Foundation Degree.
How much work is it?
We often say that though the course is part-time, it is not possible to do it in your "spare time". To complete the Course students must be able to commit to:
- the formal study programme (up to 30 weeknights and 6 study days)
- an average of 4 to 5 hours per week in placement activity in your home or external placement church (this includes most of the time trainees already spend on church commitments)
- up to 5 hours of reading per week, plus the time needed for additional private study, completing assignments, meeting with supervisors and tutors, etc.
Reader training does involve a considerable time commitment, especially in the first two years. In some cases, it is important for trainees to make some space for training by laying down some commitments, including ones at church. However, this needs balancing with the important element of experience in preaching, leading and other areas of ministry. Much depends on how involved trainees already are in these areas. In some cases it is important for people to be preaching slightly less if they are already on the rota a lot – but more often it is important for trainees to be given more opportunity to preach, lead services, do the intercessions etc. In some cases that means drawing back from other areas of ministry in church (eg less commitments in young people's work or leading a home group).
There are a variety of resources available to support trainees during their Reader training with All Saints. A significant resource for those on the course is Moodle – this is the name of the online system that we use to support students on the course. Students can access Moodle using a web browser of any computer. Using Moodle we are able easily and quickly to distribute study materials (e.g. session notes, excerpts from books, pictures, and much more) to students, give feedback for assessments, send out messages, and so on. Students are able to use 'forums' to talk to each other, share information and discuss the topics they are studying, and submit assignments. Students are shown how to use the system at the beginning of their course. The important point is that all students need to have regular access to the internet or their experience of the course, and indeed their learning, will be affected. Click here for more information on Moodle and other resources.
There are also some key people resources involved in the training:-
- Placement supervisors – as well as being supervised by someone in their external placement, trainee Readers are supported throughout their training by a supervisor in their home church. This is a member of the ministry team, often the incumbent or equivalent, and the training is a partnership between the course, the trainee and the home church.
- Director of Studies – each diocese appoints a director of Studies for Readers. As well as acting as a tutor on specific modules in the course, the Director of Studies works with trainee Readers from their diocese on areas such as arranging placements, writing reports and reviewing progress
- Course staff – main areas of course administration are handled by the All Saints course office in Warrington, and the Principal and Vice-Principal for the course are also located at Warrington and involved in much of the teaching on the course
- Course chaplains – a number of course chaplains are available for confidential support to readers during their time on the course
- Warden of Readers – each diocese has a Warden of Readers who is available for support for trainees where needed and is the key contact for all matters related both to selection, licensing and deployment. Wardens of Readers and Directors of Studies often work with administrative staff at diocesan level who are also involved in these areas.
Finally, a significant part of the course experience is the fellowship and support of your fellow trainees – trainee Readers say that as well as the learning from the formal input and the placement experience, one of the key things they gain from the course is the experience of studying with and getting to know people from other churches and dioceses who are training alongside them for Reader ministry.
"One thing that reader training and ministry has taught me is that you meet some amazing people and friends. I will value and regard the people I have met with high value".James, licensed Reader

A happy Thanksgiving to all !
This week at Papercraft Star we are hosting anything goes !!
It seemed a good idea when I dreamed it up, thinking we all were getting prepared for the holiday, and not wanting to spread ourselves too thin on the creative end. BUT, if this is like other anything goes challenges we have done in the past, our DT will have a whole lot of commenting to do ! Duh, didn't think of that....
This week I used a freebie we posted at Papercraft Star a couple of weeks ago, from our sponsor theHouseAcrosstheBay. I colored it with copics, used some Spellbinders, ran it through the Cuttlebug, or at least Spencer did, and that was about all it took !

Oxygen is the crucial element that must be able to nourish a child's organs and cells in order to sustain life. If a doctor or nurse makes a mistake during labor and delivery that compromises oxygen delivery to the baby, life-threatening birth injuries can result.
If you believe your child's brain damage or other birth injuries were caused by preventable asphyxia, you should talk to an experienced birth injury lawyer.
For a free legal consultation, call 1-800-222-9529
Facts About Asphyxia
Asphyxia is a complication during labor and delivery where the baby is deprived of necessary oxygen, causing dysfunction in the major organs of the body. This oxygen deprivation may occur anywhere along the labor and delivery process, and can result from health problems in the mother or physical trauma to the child during birth. Failure to restore proper oxygen flow can have catastrophic consequences, including neurological problems.
In many asphyxia birth injury cases, medical staff members fail to recognize or respond to signs a child may be suffering from asphyxia, such as:
- Heart rate abnormalities
- Breathing irregularities
- Halted breathing
- Lack of movement
- Low blood pressure in the mother
- Umbilical cord problems
- Placenta problems
- Pale or bluish skin

Published at Saturday, July 06th, 2019 - 09:25:22 AM. Bedding. By Fernand Genet.
Go for your own ideas. Think on how you want your personal space to look like. Add a compact lampshade near your bed. A plain bed sheet and a printed lampshade would also look elegant. Add night lamps which are wall mount to save space in your bedroom. Go for artistic photo frames or art prints, affixed to the walls near the bed. Your bedroom should show your personality therefore go with something new and creative. Go for consistent designing. Don't overdo things. Simplicity would add to the look of the room.
Single bed: single bed furniture is best suited for kids and when you are living alone renting a room for work purpose. Also, when there is less space in your room, and you need to accommodate other stuff as well. Therefore it is best under all these conditions and the comfort of the bed shopped online is excellent. Another key aspect is when you buy a bed with storage that will help you to store the maximum of your stuff in it.

Unsolved problems in linguistics
Sociolinguistics is the study of the effect of any and all aspects of society, including cultural norms, expectations, and context, on the way language is used. Sociolinguistics differs from sociology of language in that the focus of sociolinguistics is the effect of the society on the language, while the latter's focus is on the language's effect on the society. Sociolinguistics overlaps to a considerable degree with pragmatics. It is historically closely related to Linguistic Anthropology and the distinction between the two fields has even been questioned recently.[1]
It also studies how language varieties differ between groups separated by certain social variables, e.g., ethnicity, religion, status, gender, level of education, age, etc., and how creation and adherence to these rules is used to categorize individuals in social or socioeconomic classes. As the usage of a language varies from place to place (dialect), language usage varies among social classes, and it is these sociolects that sociolinguistics studies.
The social aspects of language were in the modern sense first studied by Indian and Japanese linguists in the 1930s, and also by Gauchat in Switzerland in the early 1900s, but none received much attention in the West until much later. The study of the social motivation of language change, on the other hand, has its foundation in the wave model of the late 19th century. The first attested use of the term sociolinguistics was by Thomas Callan Hodson in the title of a 1939 paper.[2] Sociolinguistics in the West first appeared in the 1960s and was pioneered by linguists such as William Labov in the US and Basil Bernstein in the UK.

For example, a sociolinguist might determine through study of social attitudes that a particular vernacular would not be considered appropriate language use in a business or professional setting. Sociolinguists might also study the grammar, phonetics, vocabulary, and other aspects of this sociolect much as dialectologists would study the same for a regional dialect.
The study of language variation is concerned with social constraints determining language in its contextual environment. Code-switching is the term given to the use of different varieties of language in different social situations.
William Labov is often regarded as the founder of the study of sociolinguistics. He is especially noted for introducing the quantitative study of language variation and change,[3] making the sociology of language into a scientific discipline.
Studies in the field of sociolinguistics typically take a sample population and interview them, assessing the realisation of certain sociolinguistic variables. Labov specifies the ideal sociolinguistic variable to
Phonetic variables tend to meet these criteria and are often used, as are grammatical variables and, more rarely, lexical variables. Examples for phonetic variables are: the frequency of the glottal stop, the height or backness of a vowel or the realisation of word-endings. An example of a grammatical variable is the frequency of negative concord (known colloquially as a double negative).
Sociolinguistic interviews are an integral part of collecting data for sociolinguistic studies. There is an interviewer, who is conducting the study, and a subject, or informant, who is the interviewee. In order to get a grasp on a specific linguistic form and how it is used in the dialect of the subject, a variety of methods are used to elicit certain registers of speech. There are five different styles, ranging from formal to casual. The most formal style would be elicited by having the subject read a list of minimal pairs (MP). Minimal pairs are pairs of words that differ in only one phoneme, such as cat and bat. Having the subject read a word list (WL) will elicit a formal register, but generally not as formal as MP. The reading passage (RP) style is next down on the formal register, and the interview style (IS) is when an interviewer can finally get into eliciting a more casual speech from the subject. During the IS the interviewer can converse with the subject and try to draw out of him an even more casual sort of speech by asking him to recall childhood memories or maybe a near death experience, in which case the subject will get deeply involved with the story since strong emotions are often attached to these memories. Of course, the most sought after type of speech is the casual style (CS). This type of speech is difficult if not impossible to elicit because of the Observer's Paradox. The closest one might come to CS in an interview is when the subject is interrupted by a close friend or family member, or perhaps must answer the phone. CS is used in a completely unmonitored environment where the subject feels most comfortable and will use their natural vernacular without overtly thinking about it.
While the study of sociolinguistics is very broad, there are a few fundamental concepts on which many sociolinguistic inquiries depend.
Speech community is a concept in sociolinguistics that describes a more or less discrete group of people who use language in a unique and mutually accepted way among themselves.
Speech communities can be members of a profession with a specialized jargon, distinct social groups like high school students or hip hop fans, or even tight-knit groups like families and friends. Members of speech communities will often develop slang or jargon to serve the group's special purposes and priorities.
Crucial to sociolinguistic analysis is the concept of prestige; certain speech habits are assigned a positive or a negative value which is then applied to the speaker. This can operate on many levels. It can be realised on the level of the individual sound/phoneme, as Labov discovered in investigating pronunciation of the post-vocalic /r/ in the North-Eastern USA, or on the macro scale of language choice, as realised in the various diglossias that exist throughout the world, where Swiss-German/High German is perhaps most well known. An important implication of sociolinguistic theory is that speakers 'choose' a variety when making a speech act, whether consciously or subconsciously.
Understanding language in society means that one also has to understand the social networks in which language is embedded. A social network is another way of describing a particular speech community in terms of relations between individual members in a community. A network could be loose or tight depending on how members interact with each other.[4] For instance, an office or factory may be considered a tight community because all members interact with each other. A large course with 100+ students be a looser community because students may only interact with the instructor and maybe 1-2 other students. A multiplex community is one in which members have multiple relationships with each other.[4] For instance, in some neighborhoods, members may live on the same street, work for the same employer and even intermarry.
The looseness or tightness of a social network may affect speech patterns adopted by a speaker. For instance, Dubois and Hovarth (1998:254) found that speakers in one Cajun Louisiana community were more likely to pronounce English "th" [θ] as [t] (or [ð] as [d]) if they participated in a relatively dense social network (i.e. had strong local ties and interacted with many other speakers in the community), and less likely if their networks were looser (i.e. fewer local ties).[5]
A social network may apply to the macro level of a country or a city, but also to the inter-personal level of neighborhoods or a single family. Recently, social networks have been formed by the Internet, through chat rooms, MySpace groups, organizations, and online dating services.
In Chomskian linguistics, a distinction is drawn between I-language (internal language) and E-language (external language). In this context, internal language applies to the study of syntax and semantics in language on the abstract level; as mentally represented knowledge in a native speaker. External language applies to language in social contexts, i.e. behavioral habits shared by a community. Internal language analyses operate on the assumption that all native speakers of a language are quite homogeneous in how they process and perceive language.[citation needed] External language fields, such as sociolinguistics, attempt to explain why this is in fact not the case. Many sociolinguists reject the distinction between I- and E-language on the grounds that it is based on a mentalist view of language. On this view, grammar is first and foremost an interactional (social) phenomenon (e.g. Elinor Ochs, Emanuel Schegloff, Sandra Thompson).
Sociolinguistics as a field distinct from dialectology was pioneered through the study of language variation in urban areas. Whereas dialectology studies the geographic distribution of language variation, sociolinguistics focuses on other sources of variation, among them class. Class and occupation are among the most important linguistic markers found in society. One of the fundamental findings of sociolinguistics, which has been hard to disprove, is that class and language variety are related. Members of the working class tend to speak less standard language, while the lower, middle, and upper middle class will in turn speak closer to the standard. However, the upper class, even members of the upper middle class, may often speak 'less' standard than the middle class. This is because not only class, but class aspirations, are important.
Studies, such as those by William Labov in the 1960s, have shown that social aspirations influence speech patterns. This is also true of class aspirations. In the process of wishing to be associated with a certain class (usually the upper class and upper middle class) people who are moving in that direction socio-economically will adjust their speech patterns to sound like them. However, not being native upper class speakers, they often hypercorrect, which involves overcorrecting their speech to the point of introducing new errors. The same is true for individuals moving down in socio-economic status.
Basil Bernstein, a well-known British socio-linguist, devised in his book, 'Elaborated and restricted codes: their social origins and some consequences,' a social code system which he used to classify the various speech patterns for different social classes. He claimed that members of the middle class have ways of organizing their speech which are fundamentally very different from the ways adopted by the working class.
In Basil Bernstein's theory, the restricted code was an example of the speech patterns used by the working-class. He stated that this type of code allows strong bonds between group members, who tend to behave largely on the basis of distinctions such as 'male', 'female', 'older', and 'younger'. This social group also uses language in a way which brings unity between people, and members often do not need to be explicit about meaning, as their shared knowledge and common understanding often bring them together in a way which other social language groups do not experience. The difference with the restricted code is the emphasis on 'we' as a social group, which fosters greater solidarity than an emphasis on 'I'.
Basil Bernstein also studied what he named the 'elaborated code' explaining that in this type of speech pattern the middle and upper classes use this language style to gain access to education and career advancement. Bonds within this social group are not as well defined and people achieve their social identity largely on the basis of individual disposition and temperament. There is no obvious division of tasks according to sex or age and generally, within this social formation members negotiate and achieve their roles, rather than have them there ready-made in advance. Due to the lack of solidarity the elaborated social language code requires individual intentions and viewpoints to be made explicit as the 'I' has a greater emphasis with this social group than the working class.
The existence of differences in language between social classes can be illustrated by the following table:
|Bristolian Dialect (lower class)
|Standard English (higher class)
|I ain't done nothing
|I haven't done anything
|I done it yesterday
|I did it yesterday
|It weren't me that done it
|I didn't do it
Any native speaker of English would immediately be able to guess that speaker 1 was likely of a different social class than speaker 2, namely from a lower social class, probably from a working class pedigree. The differences in grammar between the two examples of speech is referred to as differences between social class dialects or sociolects.
It is also notable that, at least in England and Australia, the closer to standard English a dialect gets, the less the lexicon varies by region, and vice-versa.
It is generally assumed that non-standard language is low-prestige language. However, in certain groups, such as traditional working class neighborhoods, standard language may be considered undesirable in many contexts. This is because the working class dialect is a powerful in-group marker, and especially for non-mobile individuals, the use of non-standard varieties (even exaggeratedly so) expresses neighborhood pride and group and class solidarity. There will thus be a considerable difference in use of non-standard varieties when going to the pub or having a neighborhood barbecue (high), and going to the bank (lower) for the same individual.
There are several different types of age-based variation one may see within a population. They are: vernacular of a subgroup with membership typically characterized by a specific age range, age-graded variation, and indications of linguistic change in progress.
One example of subgroup vernacular is the speech of street youth. Just as street youth dress differently from the "norm", they also often have their own "language". The reasons for this are the following: (1) To enhance their own cultural identity (2) To identify with each other, (3) To exclude others, and (4) To invoke feelings of fear or admiration from the outside world. Strictly speaking, this is not truly age-based, since it does not apply to all individuals of that age bracket within the community.
Age-graded variation is a stable variation which varies within a population based on age. That is, speakers of a particular age will use a specific linguistic form in successive generations. This is relatively rare. Chambers (1995) cites an example from southern Ontario, Canada where the pronunciation of the letter 'Z' varies. Most of the English-speaking world pronounces it 'zed'; however, in the United States, it is pronounced 'zee'. A linguistic survey found that in 1979 two-thirds of the 12 year olds in Toronto ended the recitation of the alphabet with the letter 'zee' where only 8% of the adults did so. Then in 1991, (when those 12 year olds were in their mid-20s) a survey showed only 39% of the 20-25 year olds used 'zee'. In fact, the survey showed that only 12% of those over 30 used the form 'zee'. This seems to be tied to an American children's song frequently used to teach the alphabet. In this song, the rhyme scheme matches the letter Z with V 'vee', prompting the use of the American pronunciation. As the individual grows older, this marked form 'zee' is dropped in favor of the standard form 'zed'.[6]
People tend to use linguistic forms that were prevalent when they reached adulthood. So, in the case of linguistic change in progress, one would expect to see variation over a broader range of ages. Bright (1997) provides an example taken from American English where there is an on-going merger of the vowel sounds in such pairs of words as 'caught' and 'cot'.[7] Examining the speech across several generations of a single family, one would find the grandparents' generation would never or rarely merge these two vowel sounds; their children's generation may on occasion, particularly in quick or informal speech; while their grandchildren's generation would merge these two vowels uniformly. This is the basis of the apparent-time hypothesis where age-based variation is taken as an indication of linguistic change in progress.
Men and women, on average, tend to use slightly different language styles. These differences tend to be quantitative rather than qualitative. That is, to say that women make more minimal responses (see below) than men is akin to saying that men are taller than women (i.e., men are on average taller than women, but some women are taller than some men). The initial identification of a women's register was by Robin Lakoff in 1975, who argued that the style of language served to maintain women's (inferior) role in society ("female deficit approach").[8] A later refinement of this argument was that gender differences in language reflected a power difference (O'Barr & Atkins, 1980) ("dominance theory"). However, both these perspectives have the language style of men as normative, implying that women's style is inferior.
More recently, Deborah Tannen has compared gender differences in language as more similar to 'cultural' differences ("cultural difference approach"). Comparing conversational goals, she argued that men have a report style, aiming to communicate factual information, whereas women have a rapport style, more concerned with building and maintaining relationships.[9] Such differences are pervasive across media, including face-to-face conversation (e.g., Fitzpatrick, Mulac, & Dindia, 1995: Hannah & Murachver, 1999), written essays of primary school children (Mulac, Studley, & Blau, 1990), email (Thomson & Murachver, 2001), and even toilet graffiti (Green, 2003).[10][11][12][13]
Communication styles are always a product of context, and as such, gender differences tend to be most pronounced in single-gender groups. One explanation for this, is that people accommodate their language towards the style of the person they are interacting with. Thus, in a mixed-gender group, gender differences tend to be less pronounced. A similarly important observation is that this accommodation is usually towards the language style, not the gender of the person (Thomson, Murachver, & Green, 2001). That is, a polite and empathic male will tend to be accommodated to on the basis of their being polite and empathic, rather than their being male.[14]
One of the ways in which the communicative competence of men and women differ is in their use of minimal responses, i.e., paralinguistic features such as 'mhm' and 'yeah', which is behaviour associated with collaborative language use (Carli, 1990).[15] Men, on the other hand, generally use them less frequently and where they do, it is usually to show agreement, as Zimmerman and West's (1975) study of turn-taking in conversation indicates.[16]
Men and women differ in their use of questions in conversations. For men, a question is usually a genuine request for information whereas with women it can often be a rhetorical means of engaging the other's conversational contribution or of acquiring attention from others conversationally involved, techniques associated with a collaborative approach to language use (Barnes, 1971).[17] Therefore women use questions more frequently (Fitzpatrick, et al., 1995; Todd, 1983).[10][18][19] In writing, however, both genders use rhetorical questions as literary devices. For example, Mark Twain used them in "A War Prayer" to provoke the reader to question his actions and beliefs.
As the work of DeFrancisco (1991) shows, female linguistic behaviour characteristically encompasses a desire to take turns in conversation with others, which is opposed to men's tendency towards centering on their own point or remaining silent when presented with such implicit offers of conversational turn-taking as are provided by hedges such as "y' know" and "isn't it".[20] This desire for turn-taking gives rise to complex forms of interaction in relation to the more regimented form of turn-taking commonly exhibited by men (Sacks et al., 1974).[21]
According to Dorval (1990), in his study of same-sex friend interaction, males tend to change subject more frequently than females. This difference may well be at the root of the conception that women chatter and talk too much, and may still trigger the same thinking in some males. In this way lowered estimation of women may arise.[22] Incidentally, this androcentric attitude towards women as chatterers arguably arose from the idea that any female conversation was too much talking according to the patriarchal consideration of silence as a womanly virtue common to many cultures.
Female tendencies toward self-disclosure, i.e., sharing their problems and experiences with others, often to offer sympathy (Dindia & Allen, 1992; Tannen, 1991:49), contrasts with male tendencies to non-self disclosure and professing advice or offering a solution when confronted with another's problems.[9][23]
Men tend to be more verbally aggressive in conversing (Labov, 1972), frequently using threats, profanities, yelling and name-calling.[24] Women, on the whole, deem this to disrupt the flow of conversation and not as a means of upholding one's hierarchical status in the conversation. Where women swear, it is usually to demonstrate to others what is normal behaviour for them.[25]
It appears that women attach more weight than men to the importance of listening in conversation, with its connotations of power to the listener as confidant of the speaker. This attachment of import by women to listening is inferred by women's normally lower rate of interruption — i.e., disrupting the flow of conversation with a topic unrelated to the previous one (Fishman, 1980) — and by their largely increased use of minimal responses in relation to men (Zimmerman and West, 1975).[16][26] Men, however, interrupt far more frequently with non-related topics, especially in the mixed sex setting (Zimmerman and West,1975) and, far from rendering a female speaker's responses minimal, are apt to greet her conversational spotlights with silence, as the work of DeFrancisco (1991) demonstrates.[20]
This, in turn, suggests a dichotomy between a male desire for conversational dominance – noted by Leet-Pellegrini (1980) with reference to male experts speaking more verbosely than their female counterparts – and a female aspiration to group conversational participation.[27] One corollary of this is, according to Coates (1993: 202), that males are afforded more attention in the context of the classroom and that this can lead to their gaining more attention in scientific and technical subjects, which in turn can lead to their achieving better success in those areas, ultimately leading to their having more power in a technocratic society.[28]
Politeness in speech is described in terms of positive and negative face.[29] Positive face refers to one's desire to be liked and admired, while negative face refers to one's wish to remain autonomous and not to suffer imposition. Both forms, according to Brown's study of the Tzeltal language (1980), are used more frequently by women whether in mixed or single-sex pairs, suggesting for Brown a greater sensitivity in women than have men to face the needs of others.[30] In short, women are to all intents and purposes largely more polite than men. However, negative face politeness can be potentially viewed as weak language because of its associated hedges and tag questions, a view propounded by O'Barr and Atkins (1980) in their work on courtroom interaction.[31]

Theresa May to meet with Peugeot boss to discuss proposed Vauxhall acquisition
British prime minister Theresa May is set to meet with the chief executive of PSA Group to discuss its proposals to take over General Motors European arm, which includes British affiliate Vauxhall.
French car manufacturer PSA, the owner of Peugeot and Citroen, has confirmed it's exploring a possible acquisition of General Motors' European Opel division, a deal that could affect workers at Vauxhall's plants in Luton and Ellesmere Port.
Concerned for the future of Vauxhall – which employs over 4,500 staff in the UK – business secretary Greg Clark has met with GM officials and reportedly been reassured that UK plants will not be rationalised in any merger.
PM to meet with PSA
Theresa May has also responded positively to a request from PSA to meet with her to discuss the proposed plan. A government spokesman said: "We can confirm we have received a meeting request. The meeting will take place, in principle, subject to diary availability."
Clark said in a statement: "There is some way to go in discussions between GM and PSA but I was reassured by GM's intention, communicated to me, to build on the success of these operations rather than rationalise them.
"Vauxhall future secure"
The two companies have worked together since PSA acquired a smaller stake in GM's European operations which has resulted in several joint projects, most recently in the form of platform-sharing between the upcoming Citroen C3 Picasso and Vauxhall Crossland X.
If PSA was to buy Opel in its entirety, the conglomerate would account for 16% of all cars sold in Europe, making it the second-largest manufacturer by volume after Volkswagen Group.
Clarifying its position earlier this week, PSA Group said: "General Motors and PSA Group regularly examine additional expansion and cooperation possibilities. PSA Group confirms that, together with General Motors, it is exploring numerous strategic initiatives […] including a potential acquisition of Opel."
"There can be no assurance that an agreement will be reached," it added.
General Motors has attempted to sell Opel-Vauxhall before, notably after the financial crisis in 2009, when it terminated or sold many of its loss-making brands, including the ill-fated Saab brand. We'll have to wait and see if a deal will be struck this time…

It all starts when the main Character thinks he sees a man about to jump off a Bridge.
But when he approaches the old man, he dissapears and our main Character falls off the Bridge and into a Synch Whole which sends him back in time to age 17. 17 Being a rebirth number as March 17th Marks the suns 3 day(72 hour) stay in the Underworld battling Darkness before it is Reborn again on the Spring Equinox, as the Sun moves toward Summer Victory or Rebirth.
Janus as we know here is synonymous with Jupiter. Seen above Janus has Two heads, so he is Dual. Jupiter and its Symbol which alludes to the Number 42 both are symbolic of the Dual nature of the Self and the Universe. Jupiters Symbol is the Crescent of Spirit, overcoming the Cross of Matter (opposed to Saturn which Depicts the Cross of Matter overcoming the Crescent of Spirit). SO Jupiters Symbol points toward Both the worlds of Spirit and Matter, in Numerous instances Jupiter is also representative of "Heaven" or the "Other Side" the dimensions of Spirit where Energy Moves and Matter matters not. The Amazonian Shaman Juan Flores Salazar whos says on Jupiter our souls exist in an IDEAL mirror of Earth, Dennis Mckenna who says that while on Mushrooms he saw Jupiter as a Mirror of Earth, Stanley Kubricks 2001 where a Stargate to ET intelligence opens on Jupiter, Alice in Wonderland whos Underworld Courts have a 42nd Rule "no persons over a mile high to enter the court", Oz where going over the Rainbow into Oz or the Other Side and Rainbows are light reflected at 42 degrees, The Egyptian Underworld- Duat with the Goddess Maats 42 Commandments for Rebirth etc, all point toward Jupiter/42 somehow symbolizing traversing another Dimension or the Dual worlds of Reality and our Self. Jupiter/Janus can all be interpereted as pointers toward or attractors of the Shortening Bridge between Spirit and Matter and Heaven(Consciousness) and Earth (Body), or the Merging of the Actual (earthly plane) and the Ideal (Spiritual Plane-Jupiter). Janus the Janitor trickster Guide Phooka offers us the Keys to the Doors and Halls of Higher Consciousness, the G8keeper indeed.
I also came across this at my moms house on the Coffee table this weekend
Lucky Star= Jupiter, the Planet of Benefaction, Good Luck, Fortune, Destiny, Fate, Life Cycles and Fortune telling. Jupiters Tarot Card is the Wheel of Fortune, so 42 and Luck are closely associated to Jupiter, as 42=Jupiter= Luck=Synchronicity. Also the word Hart is on the cover as well, 42 being connected to the Egyptian Underworld Goddess Maats list of Confessions in the Underworld that if satisfied Guarantee rebirth of the Souls Heart, as well as the Tin Man regaining his heart in the Wizard of Oz, Tin is the Metal of Jupiter, whos crescent and cross resemble a 42.
Just wanted to jot this one down considering all this lovely Janus flow here lately, Much love to all, Bless <3>
