In my Urological Biomechanics Laboratory, we investigate female pelvic floor dysfunction (FPFD), including stress urinary incontinence (SUI), fecal incontinence (FI), and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). FPFD often results from the maternal injuries of childbirth. We investigate the nature of maternal birth injuries and the post-injury healing process with the goal of improving prevention and treatment of FPFD. We have developed animal models of FPFD that simulate the maternal injuries of childbirth. We use genetic mouse models to investigate how genetic factors play a role in FPFD development. In collaboration with Dr. Marc Penn, we are investigating if homing of innate stem cells facilitates recovery from simulated childbirth injuries. This application of stem cell technology to facilitate injury recovery could help prevent and treat FPFD. In collaboration with Massarat Zutshi we have developed an animal model of FI and are using it to test methods of treatment and prevention. We are also developing devices for improved diagnosis and treatment of FPFD and have developed a simulation of the effects of cough on the bladder and pelvic floor. We are developing a functional virtual reality model of the human pelvic floor for use in research, teaching, and surgical simulation. We expect that this multifactorial approach will lead to improved methods of diagnosing and treating FPFD.
In other words ...
We investigate female pelvic floor dysfunction (FPFD), including stress urinary incontinence or leakage of urine, fecal incontinence or leakage of stool, and pelvic organ prolapse, in which the genitourinary organs fall out of their appropriate position in the pelvic region. These conditions are common among older women and, in part, are caused by delivery of children. Therefore we study how childbirth causes these conditions and have developed several therapeutic methods for treatment and prevention of these conditions. We use genetic mouse models to investigate how genetic factors play a role in FPFD development. We are also developing devices for improved diagnosis and treatment of FPFD.

The Social Justice Institute and
Critical Racial & Anti-Colonial Studies (CRACS) Research Network presents:
Anti-Colonial Machine Conference
"Decolonizing Revolutionary Theory:
Arab Spring Uprisings and Their Aftermath"
Dr. Atef Said
with Sora Han and David Lloyd
January 27, 4pm-6pm
Fairmont Social Lounge at St. John's College
2111 Lower Mall, UBC
This event is free and open to the public. RSVP's are not required to attend, only encouraged.
Abstract: This paper has two premises. First, scholarship on revolutions and social movements like many other scholarships in the larger social sciences and humanities is colonized. I argue that the developments of this scholarship started with assumptions that the revolutionary subject and the so-called great revolutions were white and occurred in Europe. Second, the project of decolonizing this scholarship is unattainable without undoing the history of knowledge production on the study of revolutions. Even if we agree that the decolonization project is difficult, I argue it is useful to examine the colonial and the post-colonial element in the scholarship of revolutions. While focusing on the case of the Arab Spring Uprisings, and analyzing selected works in the disciplines of sociology, political science and history, I show how colonial past and colonial and imperial present informed the uprisings and shaped their trajectory. Yet, scholarship on the Arab spring ignored the colonial question altogether in the study of the uprisings. The paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, I examine how the scholarship of revolutions centered Western revolutions in their theoretical paradigms and ignored significant revolution such as the Haitian revolution (1791 -1804), and when studying the 20th century non-European revolutions, this scholarship ignored the colonial element in these revolutions and or studied these revolutions as homogenized episodes. I closely study critical developments in the literature of revolutions, such developments that give attention to the role of international geo-politics in uprisings. I argue that these developments are not satisfactory as long as they do not put the colonial question at the forefront of study of revolutions. In the second part, I examine how this pattern has continued in the study of the Arab Spring uprisings. My study shows that while dominant scholarship on Middle Eastern Politics applied rigid paradigms of authoritarianism, democratization and or transitions from authoritarianism to democracy without proper attention to dynamics of revolutions and counter-revolutions in the region, scholars of revolution were not in a better space than scholars of Middle East politics. Prominent scholars of revolution used old frameworks of so-called third world revolutions and the color revolutions and continued to miss the significance of the colonial and post-colonial factor in enplaning the uprisings and their trajectory. I also criticize shallow post-colonial scholars and anti-imperialists who not only saw the colonial factor operate in societal vacuum but also had limited understanding of the role of colonial powers, which limited this role to intervention namely military one. I study how scholars of revolutions have limited analyses of the multifaceted dynamics of counter-revolutions in the context of the Arab Spring. In conclusion, I argue that critical theories are not adequate to decolonize revolutionary theories, without decolonizing epistemological knowledge that inform revolutionary theory.
Dr. Atef Said is a Visiting Assistant Professor of sociology at University of Illinois at Chicago with a research interest in revolutions, human rights, ethnography, and colonialism specifically in the Arabic context. With a background as a human rights attorney and researcher in Egypt from 1995-2004 Atef's work is informed by his practice and by the concept of political public space.

'because the wing was given to me by some guy that looks like Obelix…'
nothing special here, just a simple, easy, "bread and butter" caddis imitation that has all the sexy key trigger points to tempt our slimy friends.
tied from size 8 to 20 in light and dark tones and quick to make even in the van while listening to Davis blow his horn, the screen-type fabric of the wing lets light shine through while easily soaking up floatant. in calm waters i'll apply floatant to just the wing and antennae and in faster flows the whole thing gets a good dose.
although not strictly necessary, the antennae give it a nice imprint on the surface. moose hairs aren't the strongest of hairs so they don't last forever and i'll be looking for some kind of tapered plastic material to replace them on the bigger bugs. (micro-fibbets are perfect for the smaller sizes).
easy variants are to add an orange or green butt tag to represent eggs and skip the antennae.
made with:
hook- Maruto C47 BL #16
thread- Veevus 14/0 brown
body- Mad Rabbit dubbing mixed: reddish brown, black light grey trimmed and teased out towards the eye to represent legs
wing- mystery pre-made colored brown Obelix caddis wings
antennae- grey moose mane colored to match and covered with BugBond for strength

Early access to physiotherapy (within 14 days of occurrence) has a significant long-term impact on the health of patients as it helps to prevent chronic disability and decreases the proportion of cases that become chronic.
So, if you suffer from back or neck pain, seeking the guidance of a physiotherapist and following the Physio-4 for Back and Neck Pain is a great first step towards finding pain relief and keeping you moving for life.
1. Vary your position.
Sitting at computers and desks all day puts increased pressure on your spine. After 30 minutes of sitting make sure you walk around to keep the flow of blood and fluids to your spine. Set up a standing workstation to vary your position while working at your computer. Make sure your work desk and computer are set up properly for sitting or standing to encourage optimal posture. Your physiotherapist will prescribe suitable and safe stretches or "pause exercises" and provide tips on how to correctly position yourself in front of your computer.
2. Stay flexible.
Optimal spinal health means having flexibility in all directions. If your thorax (upper-mid back and ribcage)has limited rotation movement, more load and stress can be transferred to your low back, neck or other body parts. Check your rotation by sitting in a chair with your arms crossed across your stomach; you should be able to turn equally to the right and left and see behind you easily. If you have an asymmetry between the right and left directions, or reduced motion, your physiotherapist can assess the reason why, mobilize your spinal joints, and give you exercises to maintain your thoracic mobility - essential for a healthy low back and neck.
3. Keep your core in check.
Regain optimal control of your deep spinal muscles (core) following an episode of neck or back pain. Your physiotherapist will provide a thorough examination of your spine, provide manual therapy and other treatment techniques, and help you regain any lost mobility by instructing you on how to achieve ideal postural alignment and prescribing exercises that will support your spine.
4. Correct postural habits.
Be aware of habitual postures and positions (such as always sitting on one side of the couch, slouching with your feet on the coffee table, carrying your bag/purse always over the same shoulder, sitting cross legged, leaning usually on the same elbow etc.) Habitually poor postures may indicate weaknesses in
certain muscle groups or stiffness within the body. Your physiotherapist can assess reasons why you may adopt these positions and how to correct them.
Physiotherapists are the rehabilitation specialists recommended most by physicians. They are university-educated health professionals who work with patients of all ages to diagnose and treat virtually any mobility issue. As Canada's most physically active health professionals, BC's physiotherapists know how to keep British Columbians moving for life.

You've had your fill of Thanksgiving overindulgence and are ready to get back on track. When you're coming up with your plan for long-term weight loss, there is a lot of competing advice out there for how to do it. Some argue for high-intensity cardio paired with a low-carb diet while others push for low-intensity activity and cutting all fats. Luckily, there are a few simple rules for long-term weight loss, and Buro 24/7 just highlighted them all. As long as you keep these in mind throughout your journey, you'll be in better shape for achieving the goals you want.
Diet slowly. As appealing as the immediate results of extreme diets might sound, the strategy will only set you up for failure. If you want long-term results, you need to adjust your diet slowly. You should only aim to drop one to two pounds per week. Any more than this and you'll be messing up your metabolism and sacrificing your hard-earned muscle.
Find a balance. Low-carb and low-fat diets might yield quick results, but they'll end up making you miserable in the long run. Additionally, cutting out the "bad" foods you love is no way to live your life. Learn to find a healthy balance that combines nutritious foods with the occasional indulgence.
Choose cardio you enjoy. If you don't love what you're doing, you're not going to keep doing it. The most sustainable workout plan is one you don't have to force yourself to get out and do. Figure out what you love and commit to doing it two to three times a week. If you're the type who gets easily bored, switch up your routine with other activities that keep your body moving.
Monitor your progress and adjust accordingly. The worst thing you could do is blindly commit to a specific regimen and keep doing it without seeing results. Every body is different, so you have to try things out and adjust. Download an app like MyFitnessPal or go old school with a simple notebook where you keep track of what you eat and how you work out.
What's your plan for getting your body back on track now that Thanksgiving is over? Share your strategy with us in the comments, and shop workout gear for your next sweat sesh.

Jacqueline Coward wins AGA Ladies' Open Point-to-Point Championship in a thrilling final at Cheltenham
Claire Hart wins the AGA Lady Riders' Championship and an AGA Total Control cooker worth almost £10,000

Amicelli - who won the Cheltenham Foxhunters in 2008 - returned to the scene of his greatest triumph to capture the AGA Ladies' Open Point-to-Point Championship final under an inspired front-running ride from Jacqueline Coward, just holding on from the fast-finishing Billyvoddan, last year's winner.
The win - bringing with it prize money of £4,679 - means Jacqueline is just one behind current national championship leader, Billyvoddan's partner Jane Williams. After her win, a jubilant Jacqueline said: " "It feels absolutely incredible - I can't believe it! This is the highlight of the year. AGA has changed the face of pointing for girls and it has been amazing."
Had Billyvoddan not jumped badly right over the final fence he may well have got up, but trainer Phillip Rowley was philosophical about the defeat. "Of course I'm disappointed," he said, "but how can you moan about a performance like that?"
Lady Myfanwy, whose trainer Myfanwy Miles was unable to be present as she was attending her sister's funeral, ran her heart out in third, and that placing earned rider Claire Hart enough points to win the AGA Lady Riders' Championship and an AGA Total Control cooker worth almost £10,000 (see below).
AGA Rangemaster Chief Executive William McGrath described the thrilling final as a fitting end to a wonderful season of racing. He said: "AGA has been delighted to be associated with ladies' point-to-point racing throughout 2011/12. We have seen some fantastic races and the final at Cheltenham was a suitably exciting culmination to what has been a great season full of drama. It has been wonderful to meet so many point-to-point fans over the season and our sponsorship has, I think, made a huge difference to this area of the sport."

Claire Hart delighted with her triumph in the AGA Lady Riders' Championship race to win an AGA Total Control cooker worth £10,000
Riders in the final were also racing to win an AGA Total Control cooker, with seven in contention at the off.
After a season of accumulating points, Jane Williams' runner-up position in the final meant she was on 58 points. But back in third was Claire Hart on Lady Myfanwy and that was enough to give her the same total.
So, after a wonderful season's racing, the two were tied - but Claire came out the overall winner of the AGA Total Control Lady Riders' Championship and landed the fabulous prize by virtue of having ridden more winners in the qualifying races. Claire was elated.
She said: "I feel amazing - this is the best thing I have ever won. I've had a great season and us girls are really going to miss the AGA boys!"
It was an evening of what might have been for Jane Williams, who finished level on points with Claire but lost the coveted AGA because her number of winning qualifiers was less than that of her rival, four against five.
Like all those who rode in the final, though, she had nothing but praise for the generous sponsorship from AGA and their support throughout the season.
"Bring it on again next year!" she laughed.
The final standings in the race to win an AGA Total Control cooker worth almost £10,000 are as follows:

Hp 2311 Dark Screen
Can the inverter be replaced on a Hp 2311 Desktop Monitor?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hp 2311 Dark Screen
Thank you for posting on HP Forums,
Riddle_Decipher is at your service.
As I Understand the HP Pavilion 2311x Monitor has a Dark Screen,
No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution:
Is that a dark tint over the screen or is there no more display due to a backlight failure?
Considering, you've got right to the point about replacing the inverter, did you have an HP Tech troubleshoot the issue or was that DIY?
While you respond to that, I must let you know that HP does deal with replacing individual monitor parts, however, you may try the HP PARTS SURFER to find the universal part number, which in turn could be used to purchase the part either on the HP PARTS STORE or any local retailer.
Let me know how that pans out
I hope you have a good day ahead,
And Feel free to ask any other queries as well,
Considering, this forum has some of the best people in the world available and ready to help.

Hp 2311 Dark Screen
Well I don't know what you mean by "Dark Tint", but I can see the desktop when I hold a flashlight
up to the screen. No technician, I just know the same situation on a laptop, can be repaired by
replacing the inverter.
Hp 2311 Dark Screen
Thank you for replying with this detailed response 😉
I appreciate your time and efforts,
A dark tint would refer to the same predicament you are in, as this could be a backlight failure considering the image is visible only while using a flashlight, that said, I'm afraid we don't deal with replacement of internal components if you haven't found those parts on the websites I shared earlier, the only other option is to Contact HP to set up a repair/replacement service for your device:
HP Technical Support can be reached by clicking on the following link: http://h22207.www2.hp.com/us-en/?openCLC=true

The Turkish-American relationship was once tight, and rightfully so. Whatever Turkey's domestic problems and its democracy deficit, it was a strong ally. It fought beside the United States and against Communist aggression in the Korean War, and was one of only two NATO countries to share a border with the Soviet Union. Turkey was also a source of moderation in an increasingly immoderate region, and stood in sharp contrast to countries like Saudi Arabia, Syria, and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Without any appreciable oil resources, Turkey also transformed itself into an engine of growth through innovation and free-market enterprise.
Alas, today, Turkey is no longer much of an ally. While its supporters cite its contribution to Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, it has often operated at cross purposes with the rest of ISAF. Of greater concern is:
- Turkey's embrace of Hamas;
- Turkey's support not only of the Muslim Brotherhood but also of that group's most radical factions;
- Turkey's efforts to help Iran bust sanctions, apparently, if recent revelations are to be believed, for the personal profit of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's inner circle;
- Erdoğan's support for al-Qaeda financiers such as Yasin al-Qadi; and
- Turkey's material support for al-Qaeda-linked factions in Syria and the free passage it gives international jihadists transiting into Syria.
There is, of course, much, much more, and these don't even begin to touch Turkey's domestic transformation into a police-state dismissive of basic freedom.
Many analysts, diplomats, and journalists privately recognized Turkey's transformation, but whether because of a desire for access, cynical self-censorship as their think-tanks raised money from businessmen affiliated with the prime minister, or outright denial, many refused to declare publicly the change inside Turkey they privately acknowledged (the same holds true with Qatar, but no one has ever confused that state with a democracy). The ostrich-syndrome changed, of course, with the bombshell revelations of corruption and investigations that accompanied the divorce between Erdoğan and his one-time backer, powerful Islamist thinker Fethullah Gülen.
Whatever the motivations for making public the Erdoğan administration's corruption, there are few who doubt the evidence regarding corruption is truthful. Perhaps that is why Erdoğan in recent weeks has redoubled his efforts to block any public discussion of the topic. In recent days, Erdoğan's political party, which dominates parliament, has passed a law requiring all Internet providers to obey the government-appointed president of the State Communications Board or his state-appointed deputies to shut down any website or webpage they find objectionable within four hours. Because there is no longer a judicial process to seek a shutdown, Turkey now finds itself in the same category as China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. So much for liberalizing and moving closer to Europe.
In addition, social media will be subject to bans based on keywords. Mention "bribery" or "corruption" on Facebook or Twitter, and the state will delete your entire account. To the State Department's credit, it has expressed concern regarding the new Internet regulations, although the message from the U.S. embassy regarding recent events has been decidedly mixed.
Erdoğan has gone even farther in recent days. It has now emerged in Turkey that, while traveling in Morocco last June, he called the television station Habertürk to demand the manager remove coverage of an opposition leader. Alas, this has become a pattern. Last Tuesday, the official Turkish state broadcaster TRT cut its coverage of parliament during a speech by the opposition leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu. As soon as Kılıçdaroğlu's speech ended, live coverage of the parliamentary session resumed.
Then, in order to quash coverage of the corruption allegations against several of Erdoğan's hand-picked ministers, he changed procedure to prevent the case going to parliament, which addresses issues-based ministers' immunity. The AKP-dominated parliament would not have allowed the prosecutions to continue at any rate, but by bypassing parliament, Erdoğan prevented publication of the details of the charges.
Nevertheless, the stories of corruption keep pouring in. In order to save an ailing media company owned by a close friend of the prime minister, Erdoğan reportedly had his minister of transportation ask several contractors doing business with his government to donate a total of $630 million to a pool. An armored car circulated to pick up the cash. Several businessmen had to take out loans from Ziraat Bankası, a government bank, to pay their shares.
What can be done? What happens in Turkey has never stayed in Turkey. When Turkey was liberalizing and developing as a democracy, successive U.S. administrations treated it as a model. Now that Turkey is reverting to a dictatorship, and a terror-supporting one at that, it is important to criticize its trajectory with the same vehemence with which the United States once supported it. Rather than supplicate to Turkey or provide bully pulpits for Erdoğan and ministers involved in corruption, it is time to treat them—and their representatives in the United States—as pariahs. Rather than meet senior U.S. officials, they should be offered face time only with desk officers or lower-ranking diplomats. Congressmen should re-think their participation in the Congressional Turkey Caucus, unless they really wish to endorse that for which Turkey now stands. And institutions and think-tanks which seek to profit off their partnership with Turkey should be shamed in the same way that those soliciting money from Iran, the Assad regime in Syria, or the Kremlin would.

For centuries, people of various religions (and none) have invested major efforts attempting to predict when and how the end of the world will happen. Within Christianity, many of
these prophecies were based on various interpretations of passages from Daniel, a book in the Hebrew Scriptures (a.k.a. Old Testament), and from Revelation, a book in the Christian Scriptures (a.k.a. New
This web site lists many dozens of prophecies that
predicted the end of the world would occur at various dates in our past. They have one factor in common: all of them have totally failed.
A new date for The End Of The World As We Know It (TEOTWAWKI) for 2012-DEC-21 -- or DEC-23 -- seems to have first arrived on the scene in the 1960s when Michael Coe wrote that the end of the 13th bak'tun in the Mayan calendar could trigger a transition of some sort. A bak'tun is a time interval of 144,000 days equal to almost 400 years. The first bak'tun started in 3114 BCE in our Gregorian calendar. Other authors jumped on the bandwagon by predicting Armageddon -- a biblical-scale disaster -- to cleanse humanity. Since then, the Internet, books, magazines, TV specials etc. have caused the myth to snowball.
The exact prophecy for "the end" have not been consistent. Most prominent were predictions of some natural disaster: a solar coronal mass ejection, collision of the Earth and an asteroid, a worldwide plague, reversal of the Earth's magnetic field, reversal of the Earth's rotation, the solar system being swallowed up by a black hole at the center of our galaxy, etc.
An alternative prediction was for some form of rapid spiritual development -- a type of re-birth of human societies. There was no obvious spiritual development on the night before the solstice as Congress members abandoned their posts for a long Christmas vacation instead of seeking a solution to avoid the fiscal cliff.
The exact timing for the transition or disaster varied. Almost all suggested 2012-DEC-21 at 11:11 GMT, which is the actual time of the solstice. Others suggested either sunrise or midnight on DEC-21, which of course varied across the world with each time zone. A few authors suggested DEC-23.
Modern Mexican descendents of the ancient Maya have rejected the idea of an impending disaster. In spite of this, they are benefiting from a tourism bloom in Mexico. Jose May, a tourism official of Maya descent in Merid, the capital of Yucatan State said:
"If people who believe in this joke want to come, let them. Nobody here believes that. Those people were sold an idea." 4
"If people who believe in this joke want to come, let them. Nobody here believes that. Those people were sold an idea." 4
The ancient Mayans looked upon DEC-21 as a simple end to one calendar interval and the start of the next. The date was recorded on only two of the many thousands of Mayan glyphs (messages typically carved in stone). For no obvious reason, this date was viewed by many western authors as the date of the end of the world, Many books have been written in support of this idea.
They are easy to spot in bookstores or online because their title usually
contains the number "2012." To get a list, you can go to a self-service kiosk in a Barnes & Noble bookstore in the
U.S. or Chapters in Canada and do a search for "2012".
The Mayan calendar prophecy was similar to that
Hopefully, these failures plus the failure of the Mayan prophecy will cause people to not be so gullible about future predictions.
The 2012 prophecies may produce an even greater panic than previous TEOTWAWKIs because they have been so widely advertised.
Some ominous signs of this widespread belief:
Unfortunately, among the 1.3 billion people in the world who expected the end or who feared the end in late December, there may be millions who were emotionally unstable, and perhaps hundreds of thousands who had suicidal ideation. Previous doomsday predictions have triggered a few completed suicides. We fear that many people will have taken their life needlessly on or before DEC-21, because they don't want to die during a catastrophe. They preferred to exit life at a time and method of their own choosing. ... all because of a get-rich-quick scheme on the part of some authors of apocalyptic books and Internet web sites. The latter will have a lot of innocent blood on their hands.
If you know anyone who seems to be obsessed with a future doomsday prophecy, please try to persuade them to seek counseling. If none can be arranged, you might urge them to call a telephone listening service, These are often called distress centers, crisis centers, suicide prevention lines, etc. Their telephone number can often be found in the inside front cover of telephone directories.
We made the following predictions before 2012-DEC-21:
There will be no worldwide cataclysm. The Winter Solstice and Christmas in 2012 will arrive reasonably uneventfully, There will be the usual number of preventable deaths such as an average of:
These deaths will be observed as personal disasters by family and friends of the people who have needlessly died. But the rest of the population will not suffer a personal loss and will probably continue not caring enough to advocate for gun control, universal health care, gender equality, religious tolerance, etc.
In the future, as new doomsday predictions surface, there will be people motivated to commit suicide in order to terminate their life on their own terms before the anticipated cataclysm that isn't going to happen. It may be one person or many thousands. There is no way to estimate their number in advance. We have to wait and count the number of bodies after the date passes.
We don't have a precise idea when the next predicted date for TEOTWAWKI will be after this one fizzles out.
Quite a few authors will undoubtedly have prophecy books ready to publish by early 2013. Some folks have recognized that a lot of money can be made by keeping the population's fear
level high. A culture in fear is much easier to control and motivate to buy books.
The new target date
will probably be somewhere about 2020. In order to maximize profit, it has to be
close enough so that people will fear its imminent arrival, and yet far enough away
so that book sales will have risen, peaked, and dropped to a low value by the
time the date passes. Otherwise the revenue generated by the next hoax will not have been maximized. [We apologize for our cynicism.]

"Linsanity" and Race
Jason Daugherty, American Renaissance, February 17, 2012
I have a confession to make: I am a basketball fan. When I was growing up, many years before the realities of race entered my mind, my father bought season tickets to the New York Knicks, and I attended many games at Madison Square Garden for about seven years straight. Like most fans, I have been closely following the rapid ascendance of New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin.
Mr. Lin is a 23-year-old Harvard graduate who was passed over by all 30 NBA teams in the 2010 draft. After seeing only a few minutes of playing time in 29 games for the Golden State Warriors last season, Mr. Lin was booted from the Oakland-based squad. He was then picked up by the Houston Rockets, who cut him just days later. Afterward, Mr. Lin joined the New York Knicks, making the team only because so many Knicks players were injured. Mr. Lin was used sparingly in nine of the Knicks' first 23 games this season. He was also sent to the NBA Developmental League for one game, but was called back after a good performance. Mr. Lin's first meaningful minutes were played against the Boston Celtics on Friday, February 3rd. The following night in a game against New Jersey, "Linsanity" began.
Mr. Lin came off the bench that night to score 25 points, hand out seven assists, and grab five rebounds, leading the Knicks to victory. Two days later, he got his first NBA start, and paired 28 points of his own with 8 assists for another Knicks win. In the next four games — all W's for the Knicks — Mr. Lin put up scoring totals of 23, 38, 20, and 27, while averaging 9 assists per game. In one game, he hit the winning shot with 0.9 seconds left on the clock. This Wednesday, Mr. Lin scored 10 points and registered a career-high 13 assists, as the Knicks romped Sacramento.
"Linsanity" has truly swept America. Jeremy Lin has certainly been the biggest non-Tebow sports story in years, and arguably the biggest professional basketball story in decades. He has single-handedly resurrected an underachieving Knicks team, filled Madison Square Garden, and reignited the interest of many apathetic NBA fans. "Linsanity" has accurately been compared to the "Tebowmania" of the past NFL season, though Mr. Lin's feats may be even more impressive.
What does race have to do with this? Mr. Lin is an American-born Asian. In fact, he is the first American-born player of Taiwanese or Chinese descent in the 65-year history of the NBA. And because Asians are so rare in basketball, race has been a common theme in Mr. Lin's career, even before he got to Harvard. Mr. Lin himself suggested that some colleges refused to recruit him because of his race: "I do think (my ethnicity) did affect the way coaches recruited me. I think if I were a different race, I would've been treated differently." Mr. Lin also called basketball, "a sport for white and black people." He is not the only ethnic Asian who recognizes racial stereotypes in hoops. Former NBA player Rex Walters, a Japanese-American, says this: "It's an Asian thing. People who don't think stereotypes exist are crazy. If he's white, he's either a good shooter or heady. If he's Asian, he's good at math. We're not taking him."
Mr. Lin has faced frequent racial scorn during his young career — from opponents, fans, the news media, and even athletes from different sports. He has been jeered with taunts of "go back to China," "open your eyes," and "orchestra is on the other side of campus." He has been referred to as "wonton soup" and "sweet and sour pork." An opponent in the Ivy League once called him a chink, and when he showed up at a Pro-Am basketball game in San Francisco, Mr. Lin was reportedly told, "Sorry sir, there's no volleyball here tonight." Even the New York Knicks home TV station, MSG Network, got in on the act by airing an image of Lin with a broken fortune cookie that read "The Knicks Good Fortune." MSG later claimed the image was of a sign that a fan had brought to the arena.
In just the past week, Mr. Lin has received two racial taunts. The first was from black Fox Sports writer Jason Whitlock. While Mr. Lin was torching Kobe Bryant and the L.A. Lakers for 38 points last Friday, Mr. Whitlock tweeted "some lucky lady in NYC is gonna feel a couple inches of pain tonight," and was roundly condemned by the Asian American Journalists Association. Three nights later, black professional boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. tweeted, "Jeremy Lin is a good player, but all the hype is because he's Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don't get the same praise."
The second sentence in Mr. Mayweather's tweet is simply wrong. Black players do not do what Mr. Lin has done "every night." In fact, Mr. Lin scored more points in his first five games as a starter than any player since the NBA merged with the American Basketball Association back in 1976. Furthermore, the fact that Mr. Lin went undrafted and was cut by two teams in a span of two weeks makes his feats all the more remarkable.
Although Mr. Mayweather is wrong when he says, "all the hype is because [Lin] is Asian," Mr. Lin's ethnicity is certainly a big part of what attracts fans. It would be the same if an unknown black hockey player suddenly went on a scoring spree. Any time a player does something racially unexpected, race will be part of the reaction.
But there is more to "Linsanity" than point totals and race. Mr. Lin is admired because he is such a pleasant change from the black-dominated thuggery that prevails in the NBA. Two years ago, black NBA players Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenden brought loaded guns into a locker room at the Verizon Center in D.C. In October, 2006, Indiana Pacers guard Stephen Jackson fired 9-millimeter rounds from his handgun in a dispute outside an Indianapolis strip club. And many will remember the ugly Pacers-Pistons brawl in Detroit's home arena in 2004, which resulted in Stephen Jackson, Ron Artest, and Jermaine O'Neal punching several fans, on the court and in the stands.
During the last few decades, many black NBA players have gotten into trouble with the law. On-court fights and brawls happen fairly often, and foul language is commonplace. Mr. Lin, with his Asian roots and tattoo-less arms, is the antithesis of the NBA thug life. He is well-spoken, well-educated, and selflessly showers his teammates with praise. Like Mr. Tebow, Mr. Lin's open religious devotion increases and intensifies his fan base. At the same time, black players, sportswriters, and media commentators recognize what Mr. Lin represents, and this is why many of them cannot stand him. Jeremy Lin calls attention to the poor behavior, poor English, and boorishness of black athletes and much of the larger black community.

text: I never understood why or how girls could just fall asleep without washing off there face. It's important to remove all the makeup and grim from pollution that sits on your face and can sink into your pores. Your face needs to breathe but how can it when it has a thick layer of makeup? All that seeps into your pores and it gets clogged causing breakouts and no girl likes to breakout. The skin needs oxygen to repair itself and sleeping in makeup stops it from it's natural exfoliating process which can leave your skin looking dull. And ever wonder why your eye lashes break so easily? Wearing mascara to sleep makes them inflexible so it's important to wash your eye makeup off as well. So before you jump right in bed after a long day remember to take care of your skin so it looks as healthy as possible and you and your skin will feel better!

Just a little pimp for our most recent release. I can't describe how much work went into this, came close to killing me ( Well, close to me never wanting to open Flash again ) but I think it's proved more than worth it.
It requires registration, but honestly don't let that put you off, the BBC has insanely tight rules about not spamming, and you can play straight away ( It really is the smoothest and nicest registration system I've seen ).
I'm really tempted to big it up 'cause the sheer size and scope of it is so large, but I'll just leave it to you guys to play.
The Adventure begins...

Daniel Amartey
- Full Name
- Daniel Amartey
- Nationality
- Ghana
- Date of Birth
- 21 December 1994
- Height
- 6'1" (186cm)
- Weight
- 12st 6lbs (79kg)
- Professional Debut
- 18 September 2014
Leicester City Football Club confirmed the signing of Daniel Amartey from FC Copenhagen on a contract until 2020 in January 2016.
A powerful presence both in midfield and defence, Daniel impressed in Danish football since arriving in the capital in July 2014.
He played a key role as Copenhagen finished second in the Superliga to qualify for the UEFA Europa League during his first season with the club.
Copenhagen recruited Amartey from Swedish outfit Djurgårdens IF, who he joined at the age of 18.
He made his senior debut for Ghana against Senegal a year ago and has featured a number of times for the Black Stars.
Amartey made five appearances for City during the 2015/16 campaign after making his debut in the 1-0 victory over Norwich City in February 2016.
He featured much more heavily the following term, playing 35 times in all competitions for City, while also representing Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Further international involvement came for Amartey in 2017/18, as he represented Ghana in the 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.
On the domestic front, he made 15 appearances for City before picking up a hamstring problem against Bournemouth in early March, keeping him out for the remaining three months of the season.
In the 2018/19 campaign, meanwhile, Amartey became a regular presence in the starting line-up during the early weeks of the season, before a long-term ankle injury in October.
Amartey did, however, sign a new three-and-a-half-year contract in December 2018 to keep him at King Power Stadium until 2022.

Q: Would you say the rally is probably short-lived and saw the best part of it play out by last week itself?
Marc Faber : This is too early to tell. Basically, we made a low in early June
and at 1261 on the S&P and then we rallied and we came down again,
but we didn't test a new low. We may rebounce to around 1400 on the
S&P. Don't forget July is a month of seasonal strength and that we
are coming into the election, there maybe some more money printing and
fiddling with statistic sense of ours. So the market may actually rally a
bit more. But it doesn't change the global picture, which is
essentially for a global economic slowdown, for an increasing number of
companies that are reporting disappointing sales for forecast, for
When there is a minor disappointment that's what the case on Friday
in the case of Nike, the stock then drops very significantly and erases
essentially all the gains of the last three or six months. So we are
still in a high risk environment. Eventually, I think that in the next
12 months, you will be able to buy most markets at a lower level than
today. The only stocks I bought in the last 10 days are from the fresh
issues in Portugal, Spain, Italy and France. - in CNBC TV 18 interview

Because we all live in God's world and are all made in God's image, there are things all people know—about morality, guilt, etc.—that are embedded deep within their hearts, and this knowledge can make a big difference in our conversations.
Solid Ground | Apologetics | Greg Koukl | November 1, 2019
The more you can learn about a person's religion, the more likely you'll be able to leverage that knowledge to ask informed and powerful questions. Here's how Alan applies that principle to conversations with Muslims.

We commonly use a powerful and rational process to draw conclusions from evidence, and we can use this process to make a case for Christianity. Here's how.

Welcome again to Community Connections where each week we like to highlight a member of our Chamber! This week, as a sponsor of today's Member Meeting discussing leadership, it is my pleasure to introduce you to the leader of Midland Title, Sue Basiago. Sue acquired Midland Title in 2008 and has grown the company ever since. Midland Title just opened their 3rd location in Grand Rapids, Minnesota!
Sue loves the changing of the seasons that Minnesota has to offer. In addition to a wonderful natural environment, she also appreciates that most Minnesotans display a high level of intelligence, a trait worth bragging about! One of Sue's great strengths is her commitment to giving back to local communities. Part of her commitment of civic service, the employees at Midland Title are given the opportunity each year to contribute financially to a non-profit of their choosing. Through this generous spirit, Midland Title was recently awarded membership to The Minnesota Keystone Program.
The Minnesota Keystone Program recognizes companies that donate at least two percent of their pre-tax earnings to the community. In 1976, 23 Minnesota companies started this program (originally called the 5% Club) to recognize charitable giving and to set an example for other Minnesota companies. The commitment of Keystone participants promises to sustain Minnesota's spirit of generosity and sense of community. We are proud to have Midland Title as an active chamber member and an example of a positive company doing business in our community!

- Other Tips for Convincing the Boss
- Staying Productive at Home
Everyone dreams of being a teleworker: one of those lucky few who stay home all day, getting so much more work done than they would in the office yet collecting a regular paycheck and benefits. New hardware, software, and services make this lifestyle easier than ever.
However, that doesn't mean your boss is going to be on board.
Even if you can't convince your employer philosophically that telecommuting is the right way to go, you can technologically. Here's the rundown on several tools to use as leverage to get you out of the rat race of traffic, trains, and ferries. Keep in mind, some of these solutions may put you under even more scrutiny at the home office than you would have in a cubiclebut that's the price you pay for a commute that's no more than a flight of stairs. Not enough? We've compiled a list of the eight best tips for convincing the boss to cut the apron stringsincluding how much money the company will save. If the bottom line doesn't accomplish that, nothing will.
1. Project management: Zoho Projects
Project-management software may become key for maintaining your work-at-home status. But there's no need to shell out $500-plus for high-end softwarenot when online project management is easy and inexpensive.
Zoho Projects is one of Zoho's many products: The company makes a full suite of Web-only software suitable for the office. Any project you or your boss create can include time tracking, a Gantt bar chart to show start/finish dates, a calendar, and RSS and iCal support. You can track the hours you put in as billable or non-billable if necessary. And it works with multiple administratorsvery handy if you've got more than one supervisor.
For a single project you pay zilch. Once you've got multiple projects in the pipeline, it costs $5 a month for the minimum setup (three projects with 500MB of file storage) on up to $80 a month (unlimited projects with 25GB of storage). That might seem a bit much for the boss to swallow, but he can put the tool to work not only for your projects, but for the entire staff as well.
Other options: Newbie Clarizen and the venerable Basecamp track projects with aplomb.
2. Document collaboration: Google Docs
Passing documents back and forth on the company network is de rigueur in any workplace. Just because you're remote doesn't mean that has to stop. Your office could invest in something like a Microsoft SharePoint server, which makes it easy to collaborate on Microsoft Office docs, but there's a simpler and infinitely cheaper way.
Google Docs, a previous PC Magazine Editors' Choice among online office suites, lacks the massive power of Microsoft Officein fact, some call Google Docs underpoweredbut the simplicity and ease it delivers for collaboration can't be denied. Sharing documents is as easy as a click on the Share tab, where you invite people as collaborators or viewers. Collaborators can invite more people to look; viewers can't. An RSS feed is created to help you view changes to the document as they happen. This kind of collaboration works for word processing files, spreadsheets, and presentations created in Google Docs. Of course, you can upload existing Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files into Google Docs, too.
Google's word processor hasn't duplicated Word's excellent Track Changes feature or inline comments, but it does keep a revision history in the File menu. For some reason, spreadsheets and presentations get a separate tab for Revisions. From there, pick a previous version and you can restore it. You and others can work on a document at the same time, though conflicts in editing go to the first user who saves. The fact that it's entirely free should not go unmentioned.
Other options: Zoho's suite of free productivity and collaboration apps comes highly recommended as well.
3. Face-to-face conferencing: ooVoo
Ask anyone who spends a lot of time in meetings and you'll hear: Meetings are a waste of time! But that doesn't matter if the boss likes them and wants you in on them. Should you drop everything and drive to the office for face time that may last less than an hour? That's simply unnecessary when you can videoconference. Services like Skype and Windows Live Messenger let you do this one-on-one. Go them one better: ooVoo can involve you, the office, and anyone else.
With ooVoo, up to six peoplereally, six PCs with cameras, since you can put a group of people in front of each lenscan sign in for the same video chat call. Three nodes can talk for free; to get four to six nodes, all need ooVoo Super accounts, which cost $10 per month. That price includes sending unlimited video messages as well; recipients can access these video messages online without needing the ooVoo software, which is available for Mac and Windows. Add the phone option and Windows can utilize ooVoo to make calls to POTS or cell phones for $5 more per month, with or without the Super option. You can also video-call users who haven't installed the ooVoo software: They access the call via a Web page.
ooVoo isn't blemished by some of the performance issues Skype has, because it uses a mix of peer-to-peer connections with its own servers. Heck, if it offered full phone compatibility, so anyone could call you, it would probably be unbeatable. For now, the option to videoconference so easily and with so many at once puts ooVoo in first place, especially for any office with multiple locations (or multiple teleworkers).
Other options: SightSpeed is the best when it comes to video quality, but the software supports fewer simultaneous video chats in the free version (but up to 9 in the $18/month version). TokBox is a new player for one-to-one conferencing that works over the Web using an existing AIM buddy list or Facebook account. next: Online Conferencing, Instant Messaging, & Meeting Scheduling >

If you've ever had the sudden urge to walk the entire span of our beautiful nation, you'll soon be able to act on it. By 2017, The Great Trail is set to be the longest car-free route on the planet, spanning over 24,000 kilometres from British Columbia to Newfoundland. Whether you're looking to hike, bike, paddle, swim or even snowmobile, you'll be able to do it all on The Great Trail.
Work on the Trans Canada Trail began in 1992 and is currently 87 per cent complete at just over 20,000 kilometres. Once finished, the trail will connect all of Canada's major cities throughout every province and territory.
Mile 0 begins in either Victoria, British Columbia or St.John's, Newfoundland
Feeling inspired to explore? It may be easier than you think! With 80 per cent of Canadians living within 30 minutes of the trail, it's as accessible as it is breathtaking. Take a look below at some first hand encounters of the different terrains you can experience from coast to coast on the trail!

Transit riders in Toronto may soon jump for joy once the TTC transitions over to the Presto fare card next year, and will be ready to toss their Metropasses out of the window, so to speak.
But, wait, you might want to hold on to those passes since they could be worth something one day. And if you are more sentimental, you will be treasuring a part of Toronto's history.
This is the last year the TTC will be selling Metropasses, and the transit commission is marking the end of an era with a collector series.
Each of this year's 12 Metropasses will feature iconic Toronto images with a hint for the following month's design. The 12 passes come together to create a special "one of a kind" TTC collectible, which the commission says "celebrates Toronto."
January's pass showcases the skating rink at Nathan Phillips Square.
The TTC is phasing out Metropasses to introduce the Presto fare cards next year, system-wide.
The fare cards were introduced in 1980 at a cost of $26 a month (the good old days). They've now reached $141.50 a month, with more than 321,000 riders buying the passes each month.

Around three million years ago what is now the valley of the Jordan River, Dead Sea, and Wadi Arabah/Nahal Arava was repeatedly inundated by waters from the Mediterranean Sea. The waters formed in a narrow, crooked bay which was connected to the sea through what is now the Jezreel Valley. The lake that occupied the Dead Sea Rift, named "Lake Sodom", deposited beds of salt, eventually coming to be 3 km (2 miles) thick.
According to geological theory, approximately two million years ago the land between the Rift Valley and the Mediterranean Sea rose to such an extent that the ocean could no longer flood the area. Thus, the long bay became a long lake.The Jordan River is the only major stream flowing into Dead Sea. There are no outlet streams.
