The student and supervisor(s) should normally agree as to when sufficient work has been done to enable the writing up of the thesis to be completed and the thesis to be submitted.
Master's research candidates are strongly encouraged to submit drafts of their thesis to check for unintentional plagiarism, using SafeAssign, which is available on the Blackboard website 'GRS_MST Graduate Research Support for Masters Students' under 'Assignments'. However, candidates should be aware that the search engines for SafeAssign may not capture all journals that have been used, so could miss detecting passages of text that may be copied.
Three copies of the thesis in soft bound format must be submitted for examination. Enquiries concerning this form of binding can be made in Dunedin to Uniprint. In Christchurch, enquiries can be made to the Manager, Academic Programmes, Dean's Department. In Wellington, they can be made to the Postgraduate Liaison Officer, Postgraduate Office.
Soft bound copies of the thesis must include a signed declaration that the work was done by the candidate personally, that the material has not previously been accepted in whole, or in part, for any other degree or diploma, and that the thesis has been checked for unintentional plagiarism. The declaration form is available at http://www.otago.ac.nz/graduate-research/policies/index.html.
The submission process is as follows:-
• Three soft-bound copies of the thesis should be presented to:
- in Dunedin, to the student's Department
- in Christchurch, to the Manager, Academic Programmes, in the Dean's Department (except for Master of Public Health theses which should be submitted to the Department of Public Health and General Practice)
in Wellington, to the Postgraduate Liaison Officer in the Postgraduate Office
• The Department concerned is responsible for forwarding copies of the thesis to the external and internal examiners.
Students are strongly advised to retain any data or essential material relating to the research at least until the examination process has been completed.
A student is required to be enrolled at the time of submitting a thesis. This means that if the student does not submit the thesis by the end of that semester for which he or she is enrolled, he or she will be required to (1) enrol for the next semester and (2) pay the full fees for that semester. It will not be possible for the thesis to be accepted for examination until that is done.
If the thesis is submitted before the end of a semester, the student will receive a pro rata fees refund for the portion of the semester that remains after he or she has submitted calculated on a monthly basis. The pro rata refund will be calculated based on full months only. This means that if the thesis is submitted on say 16 April, the calculation date will be considered as 30 April and the student will receive a pro rata refund based on the two months that remain after 30 April.
Note that there is a minimum enrolment level of one full-time equivalent year required for the thesis component of a Master's degree. Pro rata fees refunds will apply only if the minimum enrolment level has been reached.
Please note that if a student has a student loan, the pro rata fees refund will be returned directly to StudyLink appropriately.

Back in 2008, when President Obama was running for his first term, he promised to be a post-partisan leader. While a Democrat, he said he would accept good ideas when they came from Republicans. At the time, I believed him, at least to some degree. And I wrote about it in this NY Times column.
Sadly, I was wrong. The short version of the story is this: As a candidate, President Obama campaigned on a platform of raising taxes on the rich. Yet he and his economic advisers also said they wanted to raise dividend taxes only slightly, from 15 to 20 percent. For reasons I explained in the Times article, keeping dividend taxes low was a position bolstered by good economics. Now, however, the president wants to raise dividend taxes to ordinary income tax rates (plus, for high-income taxpayers, the new tax of 3.8 percent that is part of the Obamacare legislation).
To put it another way, he campaigned as a moderate, willing to concede that the other party had some good ideas on tax policy. Once in office, he gave up on those ideas.
A similar thing happened with Bowles-Simpson. During his first term, he appointed a bipartisan panel, which concluded we could address our long-term fiscal problem with lower tax rates and a broader tax base. Now, the President goes around the country lambasting that approach.
Reasonable people can disagree about whether President Obama is a good or bad president. But the claim that he has tried to transcend partisanship and find a middle ground is just impossible to square with the facts.

Kindergarten, Here We Come!
01/31/2016 19:40
● By Sandy Kauten
Full-day kindergarten
In Eugene School District 4J and Springfield Public Schools kindergarten is now the full school day.
Full-day kindergarten gives students a stronger foundation for first grade and for success throughout their education. Children have more learning time to develop early reading, math and social skills, as well as time for developmental play and fun. Teachers have more time to get to know each student and his or her learning needs.
When to enroll
Children who will turn 5 on or before September 1 may enroll in kindergarten. Please register as early as possible, so your school can plan ahead and you can receive important information from your school.
Many Eugene and Springfield schools hold welcome events in the spring to give you a chance to get to know your school. You can also enroll at this time.
Where to enroll
To find your neighborhood school, visit springfield.k12.or.us/whichschool or 4j.lane.edu/enroll. While most families choose to attend their neighborhood school, you may apply to attend a different school or even a different school district. Find out more at 4j.lane.edu/choice or springfield.k12.or.us/transfers.
How to enroll
When you're ready to enroll your child, ask your school when to stop by.
Bring proof of age (birth certificate or other accepted document), proof of identity (Oregon driver's license or other accepted document), proof of address and your child's immunization records. Learn more at springfield.k12.or.us/enroll or 4j.lane.edu/enroll.
Be sure to tell your school who to contact in an emergency and who can pick up your child from school or the bus stop.
Connect with your school
You can attend your school's welcome events even if you're not finished with your enrollment forms. These events offer a great opportunity to meet school staff, take care of paperwork and get your questions answered. You can find out about school meals, transportation and child care, and address any concerns about special needs or health issues.
Little steps every day
You are your child's first teacher. There's a lot you can do to help your student be ready to learn. Steps toward school success start well before the first day of kindergarten.
You can help your child build academic skills for kindergarten by reading to your child as much as possible; practicing letters and writing, numbers and counting, colors and shapes; and practicing using pencils, crayons, scissors, glue and other items your child will find at school.
You can teach your child social skills such as following simple directions, using common courtesies, having a positive "I can do it!" attitude, knowing basic independence skills like buttoning and zipping clothing, and getting used to being away from you for a period of time. These skills will help your child make a smooth transition to kindergarten.
You can also begin talking to your child about school and building positive expectations. Reading books about characters going to school is one great way to help children see what school will be like. Visiting the playground together when the school is closed is another good introduction.
More ways to prepare
Looking for more information and tips? The Eugene and Springfield school districts have developed guidebooks to help families prepare for kindergarten. The booklets can be picked up at any elementary school or found online at springfield.k12.or.us/parentguide and 4j.lane.edu/kindergarten.

ABC's of Moles
Throughout the month of May we are celebrating Head to Toe Beauty with the ladies from F.A.B Women. Every week we'll update with information on taking care of a different part of your body. This post is just some added info on taking care of our skin and will be focusing on the ABC's of Moles
We just want to remind you to look out for 'beauty spots' on your skin when in the shower, or ask your beautician to keep her eyes open for them when you go for a treatment. Just to make sure that your moles are safe and not potential dangerous to your health there are five things that you need to keep your eye on and we call that the ABC's of Moles.
A – Asymmetry
This can be assessed by comparing one half of the growth to the other half to determine if the halves are equal in size. Unequal or asymmetric moles are suspicious.
B – Border
If the mole's border is irregular, notched, scalloped, or indistinct, it is more likely to be cancerous (or precancerous) and is thus suspicious.
C – Colour
Variation of colour (e.g., more than one colour or shade) within a mole is a suspicious finding. Different shades of browns, blues, reds, whites, and blacks are all concerning.
D – Diameter
Any mole that has a diameter larger than a pencil's eraser in size (> 6 mm) should be considered suspicious.
E – Elevation
If a mole is elevated, or raised from of the skin, it should be considered suspicious.
A couple of other things to keep in mind is that a change in colour, shape, size, surrounding skin, sensation or the surface texture of the mole could be danger signs of Malignant Melanoma. If any of these sign occur or a spot seems suspicious to you, be sure to have it checked out by your physician.
The rule of thumb is, if any CHANGES occur on you moles, have them checked out.
Zelmarie and Karen from F.A.B Women are sharing the beauty basics from head to toe with us this month. For more information you can go have a look at their site and tune into Kingfisher FM every Monday between 11:00 and 11:30

Full Hindi Movie Watch Online HD
Deewaar – is a 1975 Indian crime-drama film directed by Yash Chopra, written by Salim-Javed, and starring Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor. Reflecting "the tumultuous politics of the early 70s" in India, Deewaar tells the story of a pair of impoverished brothers who, after their family is betrayed by the misplaced idealism of their father, struggle to survive on the streets of Mumbai
Deewaar was a ground-breaking cinematic masterpiece. It was one of a slew of films establishing Bachchan as the "angry young man" of Bollywood cinema and Parveen Babi as the "new Bollywood woman whose character Anita is "a liberated working girl, smoking, drinking and making love to her partner, defying every Hindi film heroine rule. The movie cemented the success of the writing duo Salim-Javed, who went on to write many more blockbuster films. It is said that after the success of this film, the value of film writers skyrocketed thanks to Salim-Javed, and they soon were being paid as highly as some actors at the time.
The Deewaar in question refers to the wall that has sprung up between the two brothers, drawn apart by fate and circumstances in a time of socio-political turmoil.
Deewaar received the Filmfare Best Movie Award of 1975 in addition to six other Filmfare Awards and was a "superhit" at the box office, ranking as the 4th highest grossing Bollywood film of 1975. Indiatimes ranks Deewaar amongst the Top 25 Must See Bollywood Films.

Reflecting on Welfare (Lent 2019)
I pray for those who believe in and have reverence for God. Some of them may happen to inspect or come upon this writing which Patrick, a sinner without learning, wrote in Ireland. May none of them ever say that whatever little I did or made known to please God was done through ignorance. Instead, you can judge and believe in all truth that it was a gift of God. This is my confession before I die.
For all that Patrick is renowned for, his final words of his time among the Irish are recorded in his own hand. His statement is the fruit of a long life of a person who grew in wisdom as the Spirit of God guided him to overcome the many hardships he experienced. His feast day is celebrated on 17th March which occurs during Lent. In the Christian calendar, Lent is described as a period of 40 days for prayer, fasting and almsgiving that precedes Easter. On Saint Patrick's day though, it is a time in Ireland where we can see the whole country, and indeed much of the world, take time out to celebrate the feast day of its patron saint. These days, Saint Patrick is probably better known for being responsible for turning the world green than for being the apostle to the Irish who in turn were missionaries throughout the world. It is in this context that I stumbled upon the words above of Patrick from his Confessions and then the Testimony of Yoska.
Who is Yoska?
In the 1970s, the French priest Youschka Bartolémy and a Belgian couple, Elisa and Léon Tambour promoted and developed an international debate on the gypsy communities and their human and spiritual welfare. They have contributed significantly to the Church's ministry to nomadic communities among us that we often refer to as Gypsies. The term Gypsies is used to refer to Roma, Sinti, Manouches, Kalé, Gitans, Yéniches, among others. Irish Travellers too are among those ethnic groups. The Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of Gypsies (PG) are to be adapted to the circumstances, needs and requirements of each group (PG, 5).
For example, the Guidelines published by the Vatican in 2016 refer to welfare. The need for education, training, access to healthcare and decent accommodation are readily recognised but there is a tendency to approach these needs as "a question of dealing with social deviancy" while overlooking widespread social prejudices that supports discrimination. True social inclusion remains elusive when approaches "systematically relegate Gypsies to the status of welfare beneficiaries" (PG, 52). Yoska had understood this for decades beforehand. His friends wrote an article that follows below. It reflected his approach in his ministry to a people in our midst who are readily dismissed and overlooked. I wish to add my gratitude to theirs and to share this story with you (which is translated from French).
Yoska! Thank you!
(Nevi Yag, No. 34, December 2003, 5-6.)
Twelve years ago - exactly on October 23, 1991 - Yoska, founder of the CCIT, was at the end of a life devoted to the Gypsies and the Church, but also to friendship for all those he had guided to the Gypsies.
We pay homage to him by thinking of all that he represents, even today, for those who have had the grace and joy of knowing him. May those who have not had this joy know that the vigour of his commitment has been prophetic in the opening of the Church to Gypsies. Present in our hearts, let him be present in our prayers and in our own commitment for Gypsies.
How to define Yoska, if not by asserting that he was a man of heart. Because he knew the Gypsies well, he was lucid; because he was a man of God, he was full of an unfailing love for them. He spoke to them with his heart, they answered him with their heart, and the true dialogue established itself in a striking way.
A little memory illustrates this relationship that went to the basics and gave dignity to Gypsies. After a meeting in Rome, we were waiting for the train back to the Termini station. A gypsy beggar approached us. However, it was not Yoska's habit to give her the coins he had; but at once he handed them to this young woman with a language which she understood and felt. Suddenly, she is no longer the humiliated beggar and Yoska is no longer the "Gadjo" to exploit: an affection was exchanged, true to the size of Yoska's heart; after a few minutes, the dazzled gypsy wanted to return the money he had given, which he did not accept, but for this woman, the "generosity" had become derisory in comparison with what she had received, in those words from Yoska. This is only a small incident; it seems to us that it reveals the quality of a love.
Until his death, Yoska wrote a column in Nevi Yag. In February 1985, he had been immobilized by a heart attack, which led to a period of prayer and reflection for him, and he wrote in No. 2 of our little magazine,
Have not I run too much, across the frontiers and the oceans? What seems obvious to me is in any case the urgency of our missionary task. Perhaps I will soon be gone, but death will not separate me from Gypsies and their friends. After so many years of fraternal sharing, we are bound for eternity. We will all be at the end of our task. What will we have done? And especially what will we have been? What will have animated our life? With what heart, will we have responded to so many calls, to so much distress? What generosity will we put to the task? Time hurries us and more, the Charity of Christ urges us...
On September 24, 1991, a month before his death, he wrote in his "Testament":
With you who love me, I give thanks to God for the immense riches he has given me and entrusted to this earth ... Do not forget me too quickly! I will need you all. I will see everything in grace with the mercy of the Lord.
We do not forget you, Yoska! We remain, with you on, the path you have opened.


text: Chrysler LLC has turned to the guerrilla marketing strategy to promote the Jeep brand in the city of Copenhagen in Denmark by painting parking spaces in weird places like over steps and trees. The "guerrilla marketing" concept was created by Jay Conrad Levinson and it is used to describe nontraditional, low-cost or no-cost ways of highly effective marketing, promoting, advertising, publicizing, etc. efforts. While many people might be annoyed by the fact that Jeep is telling people that they can park in pedestrian zones or up a tree, we find the campaign quite innovative and... honest - it shows the real use of 4 x 4s in cities.

Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy
Welcome to Day 726 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
I am Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
How to Shape a Biblical Worldview? – Wisdom Wednesday
Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. Today is Day 726 of our trek, and it is Wisdom Wednesday. We continue to explore new trails on how to gain wisdom this week.
Starting last week our focus is on how we can explore our trek of life through a Biblical Worldview. The first few weeks we will plot out what a Biblical Worldview is and why it is so important to interpret life through the lenses of a Biblical Worldview as a Christ follower. Once we lay the foundation, we will then look at current issues that impact our world and society and explore them through the lens of a Biblical Worldview, instead of the lens of modern media or social media.
I do not desire to tell you what to think, but teach you how to think, so that you may be able to filter current issues and events through your Biblical Worldview. You may not always agree with my view, and that is okay. I am open to any comments that you may have on the subjects that we explore.
We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. The cool fall weather and cold fall rains are upon us this week. The majority of the leaves are hanging on tight, though, so it looks like it will be late leaf harvest this year. With many mature walnut, maple, and oak trees on our over three acres of lawn, picking up all the leaves is similar to a small harvest. It is great to get out and enjoy fall in this manner.
After over a week in isolation, Hazel's test of varicella virus (which is the vaccine given for chicken pox) came back negative, so as long as her blood count remains high, then she will start on her next round of chemo this week. It is our prayer that she is able to continue with these treatments, so it does not extend her overall regimen any longer than required.
Last week on our Wisdom Wednesday we explored what a Biblical Worldview is. If you missed listening to it, it would be good to go back to Day 721. Today we will explore…
How to Shape a Biblical Worldview?
A Chinese proverb says, "If you want to know what water is, don't ask the fish." Water is the sum and substance of the world in which the fish is immersed. The fish may not reflect on its own environment until suddenly it is thrust onto dry land, where it struggles for life. Then it realizes that water provided its sustenance.
· Everyone Has a Worldview
As I mentioned last week, everyone has a worldview. We are immersed in our culture and environment, and because of this, we have failed to take the ramifications of a secular worldview seriously. I am sure it is the same for other countries, but in the United States, we also need to be careful that we do not accept the culture and societies worldview as a Biblical Worldview.
Every culture has its own coherent set of answers to the questions of why we are here and what is our purpose for life. Cultures and societies change over time, so a secular worldview is not constant. A Biblical worldview is based on the unchanging truths and precepts in God's Word.
What is at stake is how we understand the world in which we live. An example is how a culture or society views the sanctity of human life. Over time a society or culture may vary its view on the unborn, the sick, the aged, or a certain ethnic subsector of society. If you have a secular worldview based on societal norms and values, then there may be a strong conflict between that and a Biblical worldview as a Christ follower. You cannot have both.
These issues are worldview issues. Christ followers should recognize there is a great spiritual battle raging for the hearts and minds of men and women around the world. We now find ourselves in a cosmic struggle between Biblical truth and a morally indifferent culture. Thus we need to shape a Biblical worldview and view of life so that we will know how to learn and think Biblically and live out the truth of Biblically based faith.
The fact is that everyone has a worldview, whether they realize it or not. Some, even who consider themselves as Christ followers, have worldviews that are incoherent, being merely a smorgasbord of options from natural, supernatural, pre-modern, modern, and post-modern options.
An examined and thoughtful worldview, however, is more than a private personal viewpoint; it is a comprehensive life system that seeks to answer the basic and even some not so basic questions of life. A Biblical worldview is not just one's personal faith expression, not just a theory. It is an all-consuming way of life, applicable to all spheres of life. It becomes the very fabric of who you are and is so integrated within you that it cannot be separated.
· Distinguishing a Biblical Worldview
There is a definite Biblical view of life, which has a character, coherence, and unity of its own, and stands in sharp contrast to counter theories and speculations. A Biblical worldview has the stamp of reason and reality and can stand the test of time, history, emotions, and experience.
A Biblical view of the world cannot be infringed upon, accepted or rejected piecemeal, but stands or falls on its Biblical integrity. Such a holistic approach offers a stability of thought, a unity of comprehensive insight that bears not only on what some may consider a religious sphere but also on the whole of thought. A Biblical worldview is built on the universal truths and principles found in the entirety of God's Word. It is an all-embracing system that shapes religion, natural and social sciences, law, history, health care, the arts, the humanities, and all disciplines of study with an application to all of life.
Christ followers must articulate a Biblical worldview for the twenty-first century, with all of its accompanying challenges and changes, and to show how such Biblical thinking is applicable across all areas of life. At the heart of a secular worldview, we see that truth, morality, and interpretive frameworks are being ignored if not rejected. Much of today's morality is based on the foundation of situational ethics. These challenges for the Christ follower are formidable indeed. Throughout culture, the very existence of a fixed truth is being challenged.
For Christ-followers to respond to these challenges, we must think differently by filtering all of the input into our minds through God's Word as we are told in Romans 12:2, "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."
We need to take the greatest commandment seriously which we were taught by Jesus who told us to love God not only with our hearts and souls but also with our minds in Matthew 22:36–40, "'Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?' Jesus replied, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.'"
Jesus' words refer to a wholehearted devotion to God with every aspect of our being from whatever angle we choose to consider it—emotionally, volitionally, or cognitively. This kind of love for God results in taking every thought captive to make it obedient to Christ as we are taught in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, "We are human, but we don't wage war as humans do. We use God's mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ." This type of Biblical worldview is shaped by a wholehearted devotion to distinctively Biblical thinking, or to think in Biblical categories. This means being able to see life from a Biblical vantage point; it means thinking with the mind of Christ.
The beginning point for building a Biblical worldview is a confession that we believe in God the Father, maker of heaven and earth (the Apostles' Creed). We recognize that "He holds all of creation together" for all true knowledge flows from the One Creator to his one creation. As the Apostle Paul wrote in Colossians [1:15]-18,
Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,
for through him God created everything
in the heavenly realms and on earth.
He made the things we can see
and the things we can't see—
such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.
Everything was created through him and for him.
He existed before anything else,
and he holds all creation together.
Christ is also the head of the church,
which is his body.
He is the beginning,
supreme over all who rise from the dead.
So he is first in everything.

At the beginning of a new year, we seem to look inward. Starting fresh seems to equal a renewal of disciplines we've allowed to slip or have ignored altogether. It's time to start a new diet, work-out, read devotionals, drink a gallon of water, watch less television, spend less time on phones and Facebook, and swear off fast food forever all while we walk on a treadmill! We decide to change behaviors all in an attempt to answer that annoying inner voice that's nagging us to be better.
To be honest, I quit making New Year's resolutions because the list barely made it to March before it ended in the trash! I set my goals so high that an Olympic athlete or Mother Teresa wouldn't have been able to succeed. I decided to set one goal daily - to be better than the day before at something. I'm not talking about huge feats of greatness but little adjustments even if it's in my attitude…um, maybe that's a huge feat, after all! If I can improve at being a Christian, in some capacity, then I can have the discipline it takes to do some of the things I don't like doing.
The odd thing about Christianity is that it takes an ability to look both inward and outward in order to grow. To be better we have to look inward but to be even better we must look outward. The only reason for self-improvement is to be ready and able to serve others. If we are striving for "the mark of the high calling of Christ" then we are striving to be like Him…a servant. I promise it's in the Bible and I didn't make it up!
We live in a world that is flooded with self-serving, self-absorbed and thus, self-sabotaging messages and unfortunately, it has crept into our churches. Self-sacrifice is meant for our new year's lists but never makes it to March - it sounds good in theory but not in practice. Why? BECAUSE IT IS HARD!
It's hard to deny SELF! It wants cookies not carrots! It wants mind-numbing television with someone's reality that looks better or worse than our own. It wants a soothing gospel that costs us little instead of the one that costs us everything. Self is like a hoarder that wants to keep the junk so it can keep the excuses but it's time to clean out the garage, the closets and the storage room. It's a great winter project - empty out the trash and then, maybe God can have some breathing room!
We all want "more of God" but we have to do the work to make "less of me". It won't happen overnight but making it a priority will yield better results than all the starvation diets I've been gone on combined!
Saint Francis said, "You are that which you are seeking." That said, let's ask ourselves every day, "Who am I?" The answer should be fairly obvious.
This was the easiest and hardest title to choose. Since I've been staring at the screen for a while, all I've seen is the blinking of the cursor. I felt like it was taunting me and saying, "Go ahead, just try and move me!" It's not the only thing that's taunted or maybe, haunted me. My laptop is in a bag, which I keep in my room, where I do most of my writing. I've walked by said bag countless times. I've stared at it and swear it's been mocking me too, "Go ahead, pick me up and at least move me from this spot!" I moved the bag by my favorite "writing chair" and decided it clashed with my décor of all things!
Yep, I've had it bad! I've had a severe case of writer's block that's been accompanied by a severe case of excuse-making to myself, God or anyone else that has asked. Speaking of excuses, my phone is ringing! See how busy I always am?! Hmm…That was my husband telling me he was hungry as if I was to magically do something about it over the phone! See how distracted I always am?! I've had two calls, seven text messages, and two dogs interrupting me (I don't mean my husband either). See how hard it is to get a minute of peace?!
If I'm being honest, I haven't wanted to write. I couldn't bring myself to settle my mind long enough to string some thoughts together because none of my thoughts were making much sense. I try too hard to figure things out; there has to be a reason for things or some answer. I will contemplate and analyze a situation for combined hours. See how preoccupied I can be?! However, some things cannot be explained. What can't be explained requires something from us…trust in someone that has the explanation. Where there's a student, there's always a master. I think you know where I'm going with this. In the case of being a Christian, we are always the student because Jesus is forever the Master.
Once we accept our station in this relationship, it's a sigh of relief. We don't have to do the heavy lifting, know everything or shoulder the responsibility alone. In a world where uncertainty abounds, it's so comforting to have the Lord to depend on. Every time I'd stare at this computer screen, I kept thinking that I needed to explain the last three weeks. A lot has happened that has profoundly affected me, not the least of which was the sudden death of two people I cared about. I have no answer for that. I have no reason for it either. I can't find the logic in people mourning the loss of loved ones…I can only feel hurt for them and myself, for that matter. What I can find is assurance. What I do know is that God is always there when answers aren't.
It really is okay to just show up and whisper His name – showing up is sometimes all we can do. He gets it and He gets us. So often, we make it harder than it has to be when all we need to do is trust. Trust says, "I'm here and I know You're there." Trust says, "I don't know but I know You do." Trust is silent, but it speaks volumes. Trust just says yes.
Perhaps it's just me but does anyone else have their fair (or maybe unfair) share of difficult people to deal with?! I'm surprised I have a tongue left since I have to bite it so much to keep from saying what I'd really like to! Oh, the conversations I've had or the speeches I've rehearsed to these people…all in my mind and after the fact, of course! It's in moments where they've said or done the exasperating; where attempting to engage in a rational conversation about the issue at hand is as impossible as eating chocolate for every meal and staying a size 2! (And if you can do that, you've just made my list of difficult people!)
Okay, don't start wondering who I'm talking about…I'll never tell! Let's face it; all of us encounter difficult people in a day. It can be anywhere from someone you know to someone you don't. You know the ones - the rude cashier, the discourteous driver, the impolite server at a restaurant and let's not start on those who work at the BMV! I'd rather get a root canal than go to the BMV - it's much less painful! More and more people have offensive behavior and so the offensive list goes on. The key word is offense. If we're not careful we can be the ones to get offended and carry around quite a "chip on our shoulder". Our guard goes up and our walls don't come down.
There is one solution and I don't always like it...but I need it. There are times when I want to "say a thing"! Not long ago, I was checking out at a store and the cashier was so rude. It was one thing after another and topped off with, "I can barely read your name on your credit card; I'll have to see your ID." Not usually a big deal but she took my driver's license and examined it like the FBI and held up the picture to my face to make sure we were a match. I was getting embarrassed since it looked like I was a suspicious character trying to use a stolen credit card. Finally, she gave me the okay and then complained that she couldn't hear me along with a few more things when I asked for a receipt. Yikes, as if! I thought for a minute and looked at her. I wanted to tell her how rude she was and that she should get a job as a prison guard or something! But then I wondered what her life could be like. Was she angry, was she tired, was she in a bad marriage, did she have teenagers (that could make anyone cranky!), was she verbally or physically abused, did she have financial problems? Moreover, could I have compassion instead of anger? Sigh…what would Jesus do?! We know the answer. We may not like the answer but we know it, nonetheless. So I kept my mouth shut, thanked her and wished her a happy weekend. Then I left and remembered the sage wisdom of a friend who told me to "always answer with prayer".
Prayer has a way of adjusting our attitudes. It's when we approach God that we're reminded that He is love and we were made in that image. We were made in the image of love. In prayer, we open our hearts to receive Him and in His presence so consequently, bitterness, negativity, and offenses can't remain. Those gloomy feelings melt away in the warmth of the light and love of His reparative presence. If our Redeemer said our sins are cast into "the sea of forgetfulness" then we only have one choice. We have to allow those offenses from others to drown in that sea of redemption and forgiveness too. Where would we be without our Savior's redemption? (I don't even want to know!)
Oh, but sometimes this forgiveness thing is so hard! We're hurt, injured, upset and feel like throwing that offense a life-preserver before it drowns! We need it to stay around a little longer in order to justify our words or actions…um, I admit it - guilty! On the other hand, I'm not saying to be a doormat, but we do need a filter not a fit! When we just stop a minute before reacting, we can let the God in us overpower the "us" in us!
There are times we can tell someone that they've said or done something hurtful, especially those we know and have relationships with. It still can't change our response in the end. We may not get the "I'm sorry" that we want or deserve but we don't get a "get out of jail free card" either. Our right to be right ended the day we asked Jesus to be Lord; we had to give up the throne!
Yeah, yeah…I get it. "But what about my hurt feelings?" Well, well, well…Your feelings matter because YOU matter. He loves you through that hurt and harm and tends to your wounds and bruises. We must quiet down long enough to think of how we need Him so then, we can let Him. To let means to let go…let it ALL go! God has big shoulders and He can bear anything!
People can be thoughtless and careless for many reasons. Praying for these difficult people keeps our hearts right and therefore, ready to receive from God. I was hurt just this week by someone I care about (and isn't that the hardest kind?). While I was driving, I began to pray and this scripture came to me, "Create in me a clean heart, O God and renew a right spirit within me." (Psalm 51:10 English Standard Version). It worked!
I'll tell you what happened next week! We'll also find out who's doing the fighting in "The War of the Roses"…tune in next week for Part Two!
Well…here I sit and sit and sit as I enter week two of post-surgery recovery! My day has little variation and I can always be assured that there will be sitting! One exciting highlight is my ride in the car to therapy! Once I get there, however, the torture begins! Friday, the doctor aspirated my knee with a needle that made me nearly fall off the table! I now have a whole new level of compassion for anyone that's gone through this. It's not fun but not serious so I don't want to sound like a whiney baby! Other than sitting, however, I can walk with crutches which is worthy of You-Tube…it's a little comical at times!
Now, perhaps you can see why I'm bored! Nonetheless, I promised I'd use my time wisely. I've been able to read and do a lot of thinking. Naturally, when something is taken, I realize how valuable it is. It's like when the power goes out, I realize how I take electricity for granted. Being able to move around, and have the freedom to do what I want or need, has been compromised. I walked around my kitchen today wishing I could cook. Then, I wandered into my laundry room longing to do some laundry! (I know I'm strange!) I wanted to drive my car, leave my house, or go somewhere….AAAHHHH!!!
l trudged back to my room, hooked back up to the ice machine I have to use on my knee, and watched the beautiful, fluffy snowfall. I had a choice to get sad or get busy…I chose the latter. After all, I'm thankful to have a house to be in and grateful that my surgery wasn't serious. Sure, to be honest, I feel crummy but this has an end. "The sun will come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there'll be sun!" Yes, I'm singing it too!
Anyway, with resolve, I did what I could do and realized the many advantages to having this surgery and recovery. My body wasn't the only thing needing it, my spirit needed recovery too. The freedom that I felt was taken, had really been given instead. For weeks, I've huffed and puffed through days and weeks wishing for quiet time. I'd look at the books on my nightstand, which had gone untouched, and longed to give them my undivided attention. I realized my books weren't the only things needing it either. Having time to really talk to God made me see how He was getting my attention but it was divided…some here, some there, and some in-between.
I was reading Come Away My Beloved and one of the daily readings posed this question, "Does God have my affection?". I thought further and asked myself, "If he has my affection, does He have my time?"
Don't we give our time to what we love or whom we love? If something or someone gets ignored for too long, something happens, or doesn't happen, to let us know. There are times when we're searching for answers when we only need to ask questions. If we're honest with ourselves, those answers can usually explain a lot. If we unravel the mystery, the clues are often pointing at us. Simply put, we can see what we've committed by whom we've omitted.
Many years ago, Frances J. Roberts wrote the aforementioned book. I've had several copies of that classic that I've given away. But just like God, a dear friend bought me a lovely pocket devotional that sits by my bed or in my purse. For now, it's bedside so I can read it methodically because the words are so deep and meaningful. The author described her writings with profound words that brought tears to my eyes and understanding to much of life's major or minor ordeals.
Just a few words described her work, "Forged in the crucible of life." Just a few words describe my reply, "Forge Ahead!"

Catbalogan tourism sites turn orange for VAW-free community
Catbalogan joins the national observance of the 18-day campaign to end violence against women (VAW) by putting orange flags in its tourism sites.
Tourism is considered one of the most important sectors in the Philippine economy as it employs over 5 million people and constitutes almost 11% of the country's GDP. Data from the Department of Tourism (DOT) shows that total earnings gained from tourism activities for the first half of 2016 amounted to an estimated Php 127.37 billion. This marks a 14.7% increase from Php 111.05 billion total earnings for the same period in 2015 (DOT, 2016).
Women make up between 60 to 70% of all workers in the tourism industry (ILO, 2013). Although the tourism industry has created economic opportunities especially for women, it has also poised negative effects concerning women's human rights. Women can become vulnerable and sadly, become victims of sexual exploitation and trafficking – which forms part of the larger social issue referred to as Violence Against Women (VAW).

Navigating the intricate taxation environment with its myriad of requirements
Tax has its benefits for the nation but no one ever enjoys paying it. At both state and federal levels, taxation can be overwhelming for many businesses. Due to the complexity of Australian tax law there is a great risk of negative outcomes if you are not careful. If you structure your business incorrectly or do not follow the right process you run the risk of missing out on incentives or, even worse, paying more than you are legally required.

|Tailoring PLGA Delivery Systems for Glioma Cancer Stem
Cell Like Cells
|Department of Biotechnology and Food Engineering
|Professor Marcelle Machluf
|Full Thesis text
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor with an average patient life-span of less than a year. The current treatments are ineffective and GBM remains incurable. Local delivery of antitumor drugs for brain tumor treatment has many advantages including bypassing the blood brain barrier, localizing the drug at the tumor bed and reaching tumor cells.
The aim of this work was to develop PLGA (poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid) delivery system for the continuous release of combined drugs for glioma stem like cells therapy.
Three anticancer drugs with different antitumor activities were chosen. AZD2171 (Recentin?) is a potent inhibitor of VEGF receptors which normalizes tumor vasculature and decreases perfusion and vessel density. The second drug is S-TRAIL - a type II transmembrane protein that induces apoptosis in tumor cells of diverse origins, while sparing most normal cells. The third drug is SB431542; inhibitor of the TGF-β1 activin receptor-like kinase (ALKs) that reduces cell proliferation and blocks cell motility.
Microspheres composed PLGA were developed for the release of two lipophilic drugs: AZD2171 and SB431542, and hydrophilic protein s-TRAIL. The effect of different preparation parameters e.g. NaCl supplement, % PVA, PLGA monomer ratio and viscosity were studied on microspheres surface, size, degradation rate, release kinetics of the drugs and loading efficiency. The biological activity of the encapsulated factors was studied in-vitro using various cell culture assays demonstrating that all the factors retained their biological activities. S-TRAIL and SB431542 showed moderate effect on growth inhibition of glioma cell lines. However, encapsulated AZD2171 resulted in a significant inhibition and induction of the A172 and U87MG glioma cell lines, exhibiting an 80% reduction in cell viability. Furthermore it inhibited significantly HUVEC proliferation.
In-vivo studies in mice models revealed that a single local subcutaneous injection of PLGA microspheres loaded with AZD2171, significantly reduced tumor volume (80%) fourteen days post treatment, when compared to the control group. Immuno-histological analysis supported these findings demonstrating a significant decrease in blood vessels formation, a decrease in tumor cell proliferation and an increase in tumor cell apoptosis. The s-TRAIL microsphere treatment was much less effective, however, 12 days post microsphere injection the relative tumor growth in this group was less than in the empty microspheres group.
To conclude, PLGA loaded with AZD2171 showed significantly more encouragement results, and thus can provide an efficient therapeutic method of sustained drug delivery in brain cancer therapy, overcoming the drawbacks involved in systemic drug delivery.

I was superr early for the Tibi/Man Repeller event at Bloomingdales, so heck, guess I'll just wander for an hour... Little did I know that Juicy Couture was also hosting an event on the same floor, on the same day, at the same time. Benefiting and celebrating the one and only, Fresh Air Fund. I was greeted by he lovely ladies who work at the Fresh Air Fund, a surprise indeed!
I've been involved with the Fresh Air Fund for about nine years (that's crazy since I'm only 16) and the experience has been life changing. Every summer I was able to go Upstate to Fishkill, NY for summers filled with swimming (learning anyway), friends, and s'mores, all for free. An extraordinary opportunity for sure. And this summer I'll be working again at Camp Mariah as a Career Awareness Teen or CAP Teen and be a counselor/fashion class assistant.
So I was soo excited to see that Juicy Couture was getting involved with the Fresh Air Fund and finally finding its way back to us after a couple of years.
these vanilla, pop rock, funfetti, cake ball things were AMAZING.
I mean, I've been to events where they gave out hors d'oeuvres and sweets, but these were so good!
I couldn't help but to take another when the waiters passed by.
Okay. That was my fattie moment ;)
|Me and the Career Awareness Program Pre-Occ members
I was able to talk to the director in marketing of Juicy Couture about the event, how they found us, and most importantly how they could get involved with the FAF. We've kept in touch so I'm excited to work with them in the future!
So this is my way of saying thanks to everyone at Juicy Couture!
Donors like you make summers possible for thousands of NYC kids! So thank you!

On September 20, 2007, during a public board meeting, the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) adopted the "North Hollywood Redevelopment Project Commercial Core Urban Design Guidelines". These design guidelines were presented by CRA staff as providing "some guidance and additional direction for development in the core area, as well as to provide some certainty for the development community." However, on closer review, these so-called design guidelines were in reality much more. They included new regulations on land use, density, building height and floor area ratio-areas normally reserved for the City Council to regulate.
The design guidelines radically decrease the allowable height, size, floor area and residential density on some projects while significantly increasing the same land use allowances of other similarly situated property sites—namely two parcels owned by the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA). These newly "established" height and density reduction standards for certain property sites directly contradict the City's Municipal Code and General Plan. In addition, many of the property sites on which the CRA decreased the allowable height and density are sites that are within walking distance of the North Hollywood MTA station—in direct contravention of the City's stated goal of providing greater density close to public transportation.
For the parcels owned by MTA which have direct portal access to public transit, these property sites can now be built at a density of 108 units per acre and more than 200 feet in height. At the same time, other parcels just a block or two away from the MTA station and facing a busy street were reduced to only 35-55 units per acre and a maximum height of 45-65 feet. While more than doubling the allowable density for the MTA parcels, the CRA effectively down-zoned other parcels to less than half the allowable height and density under the City's Municipal Code, all under the guise of "design guidelines."
In its presentation, the CRA staff made assurances to the board that the design guidelines were developed with input from local developers. In fact, under the State's Health & Safety Code Section 33349(b), the owners of projects affected by the design guidelines were entitled to notice of the hearing. However, most of the area's developers were never told about these design guidelines and never participated in any discussions. In fact, one property owner who learned of this at the last minute attended the hearing to let the Board know he had no idea these design guidelines were being considered. Other property owners did not attend the meeting because none were given any direct notice of the hearing nor of the potential impact these design guidelines might have on their future development rights.
At the end of the hearing, CRA staff assured its board that the design guidelines would be presented to the City Council for their approval in a public hearing. Several weeks later, after phone calls to the CRA staff, we were told the design guidelines would not go before the City Council and the approval process was complete. This is in direct violation of the North Hollywood Redevelopment Plan, as well as Ordinance No. 171745, which the City Council passed in order to adopt the 1997 Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan.
