Cinnamon is a tasty addition to a meal, and it is also surprisingly very good for you, too!
Cinnamon is a unique and wonderful seasoning, full of exotic flavor and foreign sensations for your taste buds, but did you know that in addition to being one of the most perfect enhancers to some truly great foods, cinnamon is actually good for you?
Yes, it really is! Cinnamon has lots of healthy attributes besides being able to give your palate something to smile about.
But first, let's get some background info on this multifaceted, strikingly delicious spice.
Native to Sri Lanka and India, cinnamon can also be found in Vietnam, China, Indonesia and parts of Central America. It comes from the bark of a couple of laurel or evergreen species in the cinnamomun family, called cinnamomun cassia or zeylanicum. Its use medicinally actually dates back to the ancient peoples of Egypt, who even used it in preparations for embalming and preservatives. It is said that Roman Emperor Nero burned a huge quantity of the stuff at his wife's funeral, symbolizing his immense grief for her passing.
Explorers traded in cinnamon in the 1400's and 1500's and it was a major part of the spice trades in that era. In medieval times it was used in many recipes for pies and other foods, along with several other spices, as well.
Cinnamon's flavor and scent have been described at sweet, fragrant, aromatic, warm, woody and spicy.
Cinnamon is used frequently today in desserts such as cakes, pies, puddings and the like, and it compliments spectacularly with chocolate, apples, sweet potatoes and pears. Kids like it in cereals. Epicureans savor its fine flavor when used in appetizers and main courses, such as curries and lamb or chicken dishes. As mentioned above, it is also used in coffees, teas, aperitifs and other potent potables. You can even find it flavoring chewing gum and breath mints. And many people love the smell of it in candles and room fresheners, too!
But, from a healthy and medicinal standpoint, there are still more marvelous features to this superior seasoning.
Cinnamon is believed to aid in digestion and it can lessen the severity of food poisoning. It stimulates and heals at the same time. It has carminative properties (meaning that it can help to release gas from the stomach and the intestines), and it can be used to sooth cramps in that physiological region, too. It has been shown to be effective in alleviating some toothaches, providing well-needed relief to sufferers of these disorders.
Cinnamon can help combat flatulence, diarrhea and nausea and in the oil form of the spice, it chemically is a type of phenol, which is anti-fungal and anti-bacterial.
Knowing what you now know about cinnamon, don't you think it's time to go to the grocery store and stock up on this important, healthy, essential ingredient for your personal tongue's tang, not to mention your vital well-being? It's time to think cinnamon when preparing your next favorite meal.
Best wishes for good eating and good health.
Bon appétit and a votre santé!

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Jay Crownover, comes the next title in her The Breaking Point romantic suspense series, RESPECT. Don't miss the amazing tour below, and order your copy today!
About RESPECT:
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who called a corrupt kingdom home sweet home.
Protected and sheltered from the worst the world had to offer, she fell in love with the crumbling city that burned and blazed around her. Every dirty corner, every scary shadow, found a place within her heart. So did a man who was violent and dangerous, just like the streets she claimed as her own.
He was all business and brutality, except when it came to her. With her, he was calm, caring, and heartbreakingly patient.
He warned her over and over that he wasn't the man for her, but she refused to listen. She never expected either the streets or their enforcer to hurt her, since she'd given her heart so completely to both.
She should have known the streets in the Point were always going to be savage, and so was the man committed to keeping control of them in the hands of criminals and bloody kingpins.
Blindsided by a betrayal which cut so deeply she was sure the wounds would never heal, the princess fled the home she loved and the man who broke her heart. Throwing away her rusted, twisted crown was supposed to help her forget. All it did was make her long for everything she left behind. She told herself she would never go back, but in this tormented kingdom, family is everything. Eventually, she has no choice but to return.
While she was gone, the people who loved her worked hard to make the city safe, and the man who destroyed her sank deeper into the darkness. Going back shouldn't feel like surrender... but it does. As this pretty princess hovers on the edge of the unknown, the past attacks with a vengeance. It's a good reminder that puppy love eventually grows up and turns into something with sharp teeth and one hell of a bite.
She never asked for the keys to the kingdom. She'd much rather go out and build her own.
I didn't lie.
I had waited for her long enough.
She crossed her arms over her chest and I noticed how much she had changed in the four years she'd been gone.
She still had the long-legged, lean look that always brought to mind Taylor Swift. Something I'd overheard others say, so assumed was accurate. She was taller than when I last stood face to face with her, and her hair was longer now. It fell in long, platinum waves to her mid-back. And her face had narrowed, losing some of the youthful roundness that always made her appear so soft and innocent. Her multi-hued eyes were still alight with life and defiance. They were the only feature setting her apart from any other coed on campus. Anyone paying attention to those eyes would see this girl was so much older and wiser than her paltry twenty-two years.
At the moment, those amazing eyes were practically glowing with inner fire as she glared at me, clearly not as interested in this reunion as I was. It was on the tip of my tongue to tell her everything, but I couldn't—I wouldn't do that to her. Girls like Karsen believed in heroes and happily ever afters. I refused to be the one to take her optimism away from her. She didn't need to know that people who shined so brightly in her world weren't stars that lit up the night sky, but rather falling stars on their way to burning out before they crashed into Earth, just like the rest of us.
"You've been waiting for me?" Her voice was sharp as she bit out a laugh so bitter and broken I could feel the edges of it against my skin. "Waited for me to do what, Booker? Grow up? Wake up? Waited for me to forget?" She sucked in a breath and put a shaking hand to the center of her chest. "Because hell will freeze over before that happens. I never wanted to see you again. I never went back because I never, ever wanted to see you again. Surely you had to realize that. You need to leave. I don't want you anywhere near me." Her hands moved in front of her as if she was subconsciously trying to ward me off.
I was a bad guy. But I'd never hurt her…at least, not physically. I wasn't any kind of threat to her, regardless of the way I approached her unannounced.
I knew if I had simply knocked on her door she wouldn't have answered.
Her words sliced through me and her defensive actions nearly brought me to my knees. I knew this wasn't going to be easy, but I couldn't stay away anymore. I had to see her, even if it was the last time. I didn't care if coming after her was signing my death warrant. I didn't care that she was still too good for me, too innocent and sweet. I wasn't worried I made her hate me. I was used to people feeling that way about me. She was the only one who had ever loved me. Which was why watching her walk away had almost killed me.

text: We have had people asking lately about a 2019 Women's March. The short answer is that Bishop won't have a Women's March this year. The last two marches were not INYO350 events. They were planned by a number of people—a few of us just happened to be among that group. When it came time to plan the 2019 march, there just didn't seem to be the same interest, and the ball never got rolling. While Bishop won't have a march this year, Women's Marches are happening in Reno, LA and San Francisco, among other locations. We encourage folks to car pool to one of those and then bring back the sights and sounds and inspiration they find there to the Eastern Sierra! We are sorry if the absence of a Women's March in Bishop is a disappointment. We at INYO350 are always looking for actions that will have a positive impact on our community, and the more folks we have participate in prioritizing and planning those actions, the easier that process is. With that in mind, we are planning a meeting that will be a bit more of a brainstorming session than most of our general meetings, one where we can all talk about what we would like to work on in the new year. We're still working on the exact date and location, but we hope to finalize that soon, and we hope to see many of you there.

It's nigh on impossible to make a system completely secure from outside threats, especially if it's going to be available to the general public. Still there are certain measures you can take that will make it a lot harder for a would be attacker to get at your users' private data, which is usually enough for them to give up and move onto another more vulnerable target. However, as my previous posts on the matters of security have shown, many companies (especially start ups) eschew security in favor of working on new features or improving user experience. This might help in the short term to get users in the door, but you run the very real risk of being compromised by a malicious attacker.
The attacker might not even be entirely malicious, as what appears to be the case with one of the newest hacker groups who are calling themselves LulzSec. There's a lot of speculation as to who they actually are but their Twitter alludes to the fact that they were originally part of Anonymous, but decided to leave them since they disagreed with the targets they were going after and were more in it for lulz than anything else. Their targets range drastically from banks to game companies and even the USA senate with the causes changing just as wildly, ranging from simply for the fun of it to retaliations for wrong doings by corporations and politicians. It would be easy to brand them as anarchists just out to cause trouble for the reaction, but some of their handiwork has exposed some serious vulnerabilities in what should have been very secure web services.
One of their recent attacks compromised more than 200,000 Citibank accounts using the online banking system. The attack was nothing sophisticated (although authorities seem to be spinning it as such) with the attackers gaining access by simply changing the identifying URL and then automating the process of downloading all the information they could. In essence Citibank's system wasn't verifying that the user accessing a particular URL was authorized to do so, it would be like logging onto Twitter and then typing say Ashton Kutcher's account name into the URL bar and then being able to send tweets on his behalf. It's basic authorization at its most fundamental level and LulzSec shouldn't have been able to exploit such a rudimentary security hole.
There are many other examples of LulzSec hacking various other organisations with the latest round of them all being games development companies. This has drawn the ire of many gamers which just spurred them on to attack even more game and related media outlets just so they could watch the reaction. Whilst it's kind of hard to take the line of "if you ignore them they'll go away" when they're unleashing a DDoS or downloading your users data the attention that's been lavished on them by the press and butthurt gamers alike is exactly what they're after, and yes I do get the irony of mentioning that :P. Still had they not been catapulted to Internet stardom so quickly I can't imagine that they would continue being as brash as they are now, although there is the possibility they might have started out doing even more malicious attacks in order to get attention.
Realistically though the companies that are getting compromised by rudimentary URL and SQL injection attacks only have themselves to blame since these are the most basic security issues that have well known solutions and shouldn't pose a risk to them. Nintendo showed that they could withstand an attack without any disruptions or loss of sensitive data and LulzSec was quick to post the security hole and then move onto to more lulzy pastures. The DDoSing of others though is a bit more troublesome to deal with, however there are many services (some of them even free) that are designed to mitigate the impact of such an incident. So whilst LulzSec might be a right pain in the backside for many companies and consumers alike their impact would be greatly softened by a strengthening of security at the most rudimentary level and perhaps giving them just a little less attention when they do manage to break through.
It really was only a matter of time until the collective hive mind of Anonymous got whipped up into a fury over the latest censorship news in Australia. What with our strange stance on certain female bodily functions and minimum restrictions on their bust sizes to even being so bold as to ask the almighty Google themselves to censor Youtube (and comparing us to China in the process, seriously Conroy are you that bonkers?). The media is already in a tizzy over all these issues but of course the stand alone complex that is Anonymous will take any opportunity to strike at the heart of the beast and they did so with Operation Titstorm yesterday morning:
Several Australian government websites were slowly recovering Wednesday hours after the online prankster group Anonymous unleashed a massive distributed denial-of-service attack to protest the country's evolution toward internet censorship.
The group, which previously brought down Scientology's websites has also undertaken a host of other online pranks. It dubbed the new attack "Operation Titstorm" to protest the government's move to require the filtering of pornography that uses adult actors if they appear underage. Violent material targeting children is also to be censored.
"No government should have the right to refuse its citizens access to information solely because they perceive it to be unwanted," the e-mail said. "The Australian government will learn that one does not mess with our porn. No one messes with our access to perfectly legal (or illegal) content for any reason."
It was just over 5 months ago that Anonymous launched their first attack against the government and to be honest my opinions on the attacks haven't changed. Whilst this certaintly has accomplished the goal of getting more attention on the issue using such nefarious means is both childish and damaging to people who are fighting the course through legitimate channels. Luckily many of the media outlets only go so far as to say the attackers called themselves Anonymous and list their various pranks. Heaven help us if a real journalist did some investigation and made the connection back to 4chan and all the inaccurate connections that implies.
What did suprise me though was the reaction at my workplace, which spurred a quite intelligent discussion about the matter. Don't get me wrong we're all quite tech savvy but my reaction amongs the general populace when it comes to talking about the Internet filter in Australia is usually one of either misinformation or complete disdain. When the proposal was first introduced I spent a good hour explaining to the in-laws how damaging it would be. With 2 of them being members of the Australia Federal Police force it was even harder as they have had to deal with real world implications of what the filter would attempt to stop. To their credit though once the facts were laid out to them (I think the tipping point was how easy it was to circumvent) they did come around and are now at least questioning what benefit the filter will provide.
The sad thing is that an attack like this generated more press in a day than most of the No Clean Feed campaigns have done in their entire lifetime. I still believe that the grass roots approach is the best legal method of garnering attention but when a collective hive mind can flood a couple servers and in doing so the newspapers as well it makes you look at all the effort put into these legitimate campaigns with a twinge of frustration. Sure our initial volleys certaintly did damage to the proposal (by all means it was meant to be implemented now) but few of us made waves comparable to that of Operation Titstorm.
I can't condone these attacks yet I feel that I also can't condem them either. The more publicity the Internet Filter gets the more likely it is to go down in flames however every one of these attacks is yet another rhetorical weapon to use in the fight to get it implemented. Only time will tell whether the end justified the means in this case and I hope our fight won't suffer because of it.
That won't stop me from giggling at the name though 🙂

Looking for party theme ideas for that special child in you life? My son recently turned 9 years old and he celebrated it with an action filled sports day. Here is how to do it.
*Buy ready-made invitations with a sports theme;
*or make your own using your creative talents - draw an image of a ball (football, basketball, baseball, cricket, netball or rugby ball) and cut it out in the form of a ball.
*on the invitations ask the children to wear casual clothes on the day of the party.
Use a huge enamel tub and fill it with ice. Put in plastic-covered ice lollies and fruit juices or energy drinks.
Arrange platters with small pastries such as miniature sausage rolls, cheese roll and spinach pies.
Have a large supply of potato crisps and peanuts.
For the sweet tooth, have a supply of energy bars and a bought or made carrot cake.
Decorate the table with little cards (either bought or handmade) of information of famous sporting stars. To make: collect pictures of sport stars and search the internet for information regarding their sporting careers. Use multi-coloured lightweight cardboard and glue a picture of a sportsperson on one side - on the other neatly write any information relating to him/her. Encourage the children to study the cards.
This is the easy part - which sports does your child like? Is it cricket, baseball, soccer, football, tennis? Ask yourself if you have the space at home. If not, phone friends or the local school. Some companies rent out fields and halls. In my case, my child chose soccer and cricket - I hired a hall which featured both sports - on one side of the hall, the children were able to play action cricket and on the other side, action soccer. Action sports are "abbreviated" forms of the real thing.
Then again, don't worry about organising halls and/or fields and all the equipment that is needed - why not arrange games in your back garden. Shoot the hoop, sack races, rotten egg are all good examples of games to play.
If it rains, hold sport quizzes (remember the cards on the eats table!); get interactive with the children: ask them who their favorite sporting stars are and why.... If they would like to play international sport one day.
Another indoor game to play: devide the children into groups of four to five. Hand each group a piece of paper and pen. Tell the groups that only one person may do the writing, another one will be the "captain" of the group and yet another one will be the "scorer" (the only one who is allowed to move away from the group to find information). Give the teams about 5 minutes to argue about who should do what. Blow a whistle and tell them that to start off with they have 15 minutes to write down the names of different kinds of sport, sporting personalities or sporting events....beginning with each letter of the alphabet. The scorer may move to the tables to search for clues or "spy" (if he/she gets away with it) on the other groups. The captain co-ordinates the "players" and the writer writes down the information. Whichever team wins, gets to play umpire in the next round - this time let them think up a task for the remaining teams - such as name the different events staged at Olympic games, all the players in a current national/international side of a certain sport.
Hand each child a brown bag (decorated on the outside with sport symbols) containing energy squares, snacks and a small card containing information on a sporting personality or sport.

Risk Roundup - November 2018
Once a month, our Risk Roundup provides a recap of 10 interesting articles and online resources on Risk and GRC that caught our attention. Enjoy the recap for November 2018.
Talking About Risk and Opportunity
There is a range of potential consequences from an event, situation or decision, and each has its own likelihood. But in reality, there are some situations where the range of consequences might include both positive and negative effects. In other words, the idea that risk and opportunity are different because one has a positive and the other a negative connotation is not entirely correct. Read more
Heading Off Risks With Predictive Risk Intelligence
Stakeholders expect risk monitoring to provide intelligence that supports strategic decision-making. Predictive risk intelligence could help solve many complex challenges. Organizations can get an early warning system on emerging risks, potential loss and risk exposures, and external threats by using predictive risk intelligence (PRI). With PRI, organizations can enhance their ability to detect and monitor risks and make more informed decisions faster. Read more
Are Risk Reports Useful?
In this video, Alex Sidorenko discusses whether executive management and the board should regularly receive risks reports, and if not, why. Watch video
Worst Case Analysis: When, Why, and How
When you identify a risk with varying event sizes and varying consequences, you still need a consequence rating. Do you take an average impact, the most likely-case impact, or the worst imaginable impact? Or do you see each impact case as a separate risk? This article recommends answers to that question. Read more
Value and Resilience Through Better Risk Management
The path to risk resilience must be an effort led by the board and senior management, which must establish the right risk profile and appetite. Success depends on the support of a thriving risk culture and on successfully embedding strategic risk capabilities throughout the organization. Read more
Learn how Koch Industries uses Enablon to successfully reduce risks of adverse events and improve EHS performance. Through Enablon, Koch identifies risk areas across all its business units and locations, and looks for trends and addresses them before they become problems.
Why Assigning a Risk Owner is Important and How to Do It Right
Assigning owners for risks is important. First, a designated risk owner ensures someone in the organization is accountable for the risk. Second, risk ownership is one way for executives to not only hold individuals accountable for risks, but to show their support for ERM in general. Third, appointing a risk owner ensures that the ERM function does not own risks. Read more

I have to vote against you here to Robert. Your article may not contain anti-mason sentiment, but I do believe it has been the cause of it in other people. What you've done is created a scapegoat for everyone. I'm sure this was not your intention, but it is your responsibility. Especially because you are such a well respected member of the GHMB. As for the article I've seen number games used as proof of all kinds of coincidences, and I have to say that yours leaves me unconvinced, and I actually regret wasting the time it took me to read it. This is nothing personal, I have enjoyed many of your works and agree with many of your theories, but this is absolutely not one of them.

An extensive checklist of ways you can improve the SEO on your WordPress site in 2017. Chances are that you aren't doing some of these things yet.
Thanks for sharing it John glad you like it! We put a lot of work into this mega guide :)Reply
The tips all seem pretty solid, though most are not new for 2017 and a lot of them amount to a how-to-use-Yoast tutorial. The problem with lists that are so comprehensive, though, is that they are overwhelming, and people won't necessarily read through all of them. It might be better to group the tips and create a series of slightly shorter lists, e.g. put all the analytics and webmaster tools items in one post, all the links (internal, external, backlinks, nofollow, affiliate) items into another post, all the keyword info (research, focus keywords, meta keywords) in a third post, and so on.
Also, frankly, I'd leave image title tags out of an SEO post, since they have no value for SEO, and they are actually a negative for accessibility. (And incidentally, opening links in new tabs is TERRIBLE for accessibility. Unless you can prove it has a positive effect on your SEO, I'd take that recommendation out.)
From the article title, I thought there are some new tips discovered and added for 2017. But it's a nice list for people starting from zero. They can follow the points one by one and implement it on their website.Reply

2016 Fellows
Charlotte Anrig
Working with Matthew Nock, Professor of Psychology (FAS)
Charlotte is a rising junior in Leverett house who lives in Connecticut with her family and her extremely adorable dog. Academically, her interests lie in human communication, mental health, and the relationship between thought and language; she formally concentrates in English with a secondary in Psychology, though she wishes that she could concentrate in about eight other disciplines as well. When not reading or napping, she can be found cooking breakfast foods, painting, and riding her horse Turtle in jumper divisions around the country.
Anthony Chen
Working with Ryan Enos, Associate Professor of Government (FAS)
Anthony is a rising junior in Cabot House studying Statistics with a secondary in Psychology. He was born in Dallas, raised in Chicago, and is presently living in Princeton, NJ. Having never made up his mind between numbers and letters, Anthony continues a wide range of academic pursuits, in particular applying statistics to answer real world questions in government and psychology. Outside of school, Anthony is an amateur chef (scrambled eggs are his speciality), professional Netflixer (kung fu movies and documentaries), and wannabe GoPro hero.
Irene Limb
Working with Fiery Cushman, Assistant Professor of Psychology, and Justin Martin, graduate student in Psychology (FAS)
Irene is a rising junior in Lowell House studying psychology. Her interest in the social sciences stems from her desire to understand people and to make sense of the world, but whenever she realizes that a question she has posed has no easy answer, she resorts to binge-solving NYT crossword puzzles and baking scones with an alarmingly high butter to flour ratio.
Krysianna Papadakis
Working with Graham Allison, Douglas Dillon Professor of Government (HKS) and Director of Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
Krysianna is a rising senior in Eliot House concentrating in Social Studies with a focus on the history of political thought. Originally from Athens, Greece, she enjoys going to the beach, coffee, and nice views. She is also interested in history, learning languages, and intends to complete a secondary in mathematics. In her spare time, she enjoys cooking and reading bad historical fiction.
Hansenard Piou
Working with Maciej Kotowski, Associate Professor of Public Policy (HKS)
Hansy is a rising junior at Harvard College, concentrating in Applied Mathematics and pursuing a secondary in Government. If he isn't switching between working hard and hardly working, you can find him drawing, lifting, or debating topics from video games to political philosophy to which is the best burrito joint in the Square.
Sebastian Reyes
Working with Danielle Allen, Professor of Government (FAS and GSE) and Director of Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics
Sebastian is a rising sophomore in Adams House originally from Orange County, CA, a place that he will always love (and, in many ways, love to hate). Passionate about the politics and culture of the post-Soviet states (as well as those of the Middle East and East Asia) and current affairs more generally, he is hopelessly torn between a joint concentration of Government and Slavic Languages and Literatures and a concentration in Social Studies. His previous experience working at an the Interdisciplinary Center for the Scientific Study of Ethics and Morality at the University of California, Irvine, has led him to the Safra Center, where he will be carrying out his research as a member of BLISS this summer. When not studying (or at least trying his best), Sebastian writes obsessively for the Harvard Political Review, teaches civics classes at schools throughout Boston, and does polling work with the Harvard Public Opinion Project. His pastimes include discovering new music (often through record-hunting), obsessively reading the New Yorker and the Washington Post, photographing his friends, and eating non-HUDS food.
Mara Roth
Working with Jennifer Hochschild, Henry LaBarre Jayne Professor of Government and Professor of African and African American Studies (FAS)
Mara is a rising sophomore from Wellesley, Mass. She will be in Leverett House next year and plans to declare a concentration in Social Studies this coming fall. While Mara is mainly interested in sociology and history, she also plans to continue exploring classes in other disciplines —such as music and life sciences. In her free time she likes to run (preferably along the Charles ending at Toscanini's —an ice cream shop next to MIT!) and is making plans to train for a half marathon with her sister this November. She also enjoys playing the oboe and making oboe reeds, and is a member of the Harvard Radcliffe Orchestra. Apart from running and playing oboe, Mara is an avid skier and taught ski school throughout high school. She has continued to enjoy working with kids by volunteering with PBHA's Cambridge After School Program. Mara is looking forward to spending the summer in Cambridge and working as a research assistant for Jennifer Hochschild.
Chace Shaw
Working with Fiery Cushman, Assistant Professor of Psychology, and Justin Martin, graduate student in Psychology (FAS)
Chace is a rising senior and psychology concentrator living in Mather House. Born and raised in sunny California, Chace survives the cold winter months by curling up in his bed and watching old reruns of Star Trek: Next Generation. His hobbies include playing guitar, traveling, and reading. Chace is excited to be working as a research assistant with Fiery Cushman and Justin Martin.
Quinn Sluzenski
Working with Jennifer Lerner, Professor of Public Policy and Management, and Charles Dorison, graduate student (HKS)
Quinn is a rising junior in Dunster House concentrating in Sociology. She lives in Charlotte, Maine, a town which is wonderful when she wants to be alone in the beautiful woods, and less wonderful when she wants to order delivery and then remembers that no one delivers to the middle of nowhere. Quinn spends most of her time being unironically enthusiastic about various topics, whether they be feminism, musicals, podcasts, or the Dunster grille. She loves social science and is excited to be a part of BLISS this summer.
William Strang
Working with John Donahue, Raymond Vernon Senior Lecturer in Public Policy (HKS)
Will is a rising sophomore in Leverett House, originally from New Jersey but currently residing in Malta. He is currently leaning towards concentrating in History or some form of social science, and is interested in a wide variety of academic topics, especially those relating to economics and international relations. At Harvard, he enjoys participating in Model UN events and coaching at an after-school sports program. Outside of school, he loves playing pickup basketball, watching The Office, and just hanging out with friends.
Harrison Tanzola
Working with Daniel Schacter, William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Psychology (FAS)
Harry is a rising sophomore from Sparta, New Jersey. He lives in Quincy House and plans to declare a concentration in Cognitive Neuroscience. Enjoys sports of all kinds but football, basketball, and rugby are ones he follows especially closely. This year he joined the Harvard Rugby Football Club and entered into a statistics partnership with the Boston Celtics, both of which he enjoyed immensely. Theater is a passion of his, having participated in numerous plays and musicals. Disney World is his favorite place on earth, and if you listen closely you can hear what is often mistaken for a dying cat but is actually him softly singing "I Can Go the Distance".
Susan Wang
Working with Danielle Allen, Professor of Government (FAS and GSE) and Director of Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics
Susan is a rising senior in Mather House concentrating in Social Studies originally from Lexington, MA. She is interested in politics and governmental ethics, and is excited to be working with Professor Danielle Allen and the Safra Center this summer. She is equal parts excited and nervous for the 2016 election. In her spare time she enjoys late night jogs followed by late night pizza.
Liana Yamin
Working with Felix Warneken, John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Social Sciences (FAS)
Liana is a rising senior in Adams House studying Human Evolutionary Biology. Hailing from Allendale NJ, she is excited to further explore the overlap between evolutionary biology and cognitive development in the Warneken Lab this summer. Outside of her studies, Liana enjoys poetry, hiking, and terrible reality television.
Eun Jin ("Gloria") Yu
Working with Jennifer Lerner, Professor of Public Policy and Management, and Joowon Kim, Research Assistant (HKS)
Gloria is a rising second-semester junior in Leverett House, newly concentrating in History of Science. After taking a semester and the summer off to work on some health issues and ponder for hours at a time about life, love, and all things one thinks about with too much free time on her hands, she has been appropriately led to Professor Jennifer Lerner's lab to study health decision making. She tends to be a passionate person without distinctly identifiable passions, hence, she is not too sure what she really enjoys off the top of her head. Vaguely, she enjoys all kinds of music, especially slightly melancholic ones, slightly cheesy indie films, different shades of sunlight and listening to people's random musings about the world. After a summer spent in the odd bubble of home, she's excited to be in Boston this summer and to delve into some productive research.
Anna Zannetos
Working with Todd Rogers, Associate Professor of Public Policy (HKS)
Anna is a rising junior concentrating in Sociology with a secondary in Psychology. She lives in Adams House and is originally from Wellesley, MA. She is obsessed with everything elementary education - she has been known to stay up until 3 A.M. watching teacher videos on YouTube and scouring Pinterest for creative lesson plans. She is obviously thrilled to learn more about education policy and research by working with Professor Todd Rogers in the Student Social Support R&D Lab this summer! Besides education, she loves French Bulldogs (even though she's allergic to them), to-do lists, and Felipe's.

Many students bully others without even realizing the impact of their actions, and other students suffer from standing by instead of stepping in to help those who are being injured physically or emotionally. You can do much to help foster your students' awareness of bullying and its negative impact on the school and the world. Here are four ways you can fight bullying in your school:

Yoga Break Over Smoke Break
Have you ever wistfully watched your coworkers head to the sidewalk for a smoking break? Or have you joined them for a smoke break too?
Is it just because of that accepted 10-15 minutes of downtime (perhaps several times a day) that a nicotine addiction buys you during your stressful work routine that got you into smoking in the first place? Would you like to quit? Find a Better alternative?
Stress at workplace, limited resources time and opportunities to release that stress has got the young working brigade addicted to smoking. Smokers get to bond with co-workers they wouldn't have anything in common with otherwise. So taking a "Smoke-break" has become the "Oh! So cool!" thing lately.
Smoking is the most widespread addiction in our world today. Some 1.2 billion people are smokers today. 6 million People die every year due to smoking. This means more than 13,600 people die of this reason every day. It is assumed that this annual death toll could reach 8 million by 2030.
Source:- WHO Factsheet July 2013
Hazards of Nicotine:
Smoking tobacco is both a physical addiction and a psychological habit. The nicotine from cigarettes provides a temporary, and addictive, high. Eliminating that regular fix of nicotine will cause your body to experience physical withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Because of nicotine's "feel good" effect on the brain, you may also have become accustomed to smoking as a way of coping with stress, depression, anxiety, or even boredom.
At the same time, the act of smoking is ingrained as a daily ritual. It may be an automatic response for you to smoke a cigarette with your morning coffee, while taking a break from work, or during your commute home at the end of a long day. Perhaps friends, family members, and colleagues smoke, and it has become part of the way you relate with them.
To successfully quit smoking, you'll need to address both the addiction and the habits and routines that go along with it.
Take a Break!!
Taking breaks has also been proven to increase efficiency, and is just a nice way to get through a long day. Your social circles need to know that you are changing your habits so talk about your decision to quit. Let them know they won't be able to smoke when you're in the car with them or taking a coffee break together.
In your workplace, don't take all your coffee breaks with smokers only, do something else instead, or find non-smokers to have your breaks with.
So, begin helping yourself quit and think about taking some non-smoking smoke breaks, such as:
Yoga Break! Many offices have a health center with fitness classes. These can be a great opportunity to get fit and make work friends in a non-work setting. Stretching yourself at work is a great start to your morning or wind down before heading home.
Seva Break! Get philanthropic! Making people happy is the biggest stress buster and the best occupation! Do something worthwhile with your colleagues at work like taking up a charity project or development initiative for social development! Take a break and work out strategies to make it a success rather than puffing your lungs out!
Get Creative! How satisfied, or not, are you with your office/cubicle/table decorations? Put some pens in a cute mug that reminds you from home or print out a happy picture. Arrange or re-arrange to clear your head.
Get Clean and Clear! Wipes make everything feel fresh and fun. Wipe your table, clear your drawers, file your papers! Plus, your mind can rest while you wipe things down.
Self-Development Break! Sometimes taking a minute to step back and think about your big-picture goals and passions is a good way to motivate yourself through all the smaller, more frustrating details of your job.
Catch up with them Break! Keep up with your friends. Don't let your phone distract you, but checking in on communications from friends can make you feel comfortable, confident, and excited for the weekend.
Yoga To The Rescue!
Despite all the available help today, in the form of products, medications and support groups, many people fail to achieve their desired smoke-free life. So how can yoga help?
- Yoga in itself can make you want to quit smoking. It lays emphasis on breathing and being in touch with one's body and mind, some smokers have found that it gave them the initial desire to quit almost immediately.
- Yoga is a powerful technique to counter stress which actually leads a smoker to "pick up the Fag" in the first place. A common excuse heard from smokers who keep putting off their 'quit date' is that their life is too stressful at that moment in time to quit. Yoga helps to deal with that stress.
- Yoga increases your sense of awareness, making you feel more attuned to your body's needs and in time, an improved sense of well-being. This sense of well-being can be powerful, so much so that you're less likely to want to disrupt your body with toxins.
- Yoga includes numerous "Breathing techniques" which are especially useful for impulse control.
- The negative withdrawal symptoms for someone quitting cigarettes are often incredibly difficult to cope with. An individual may feel extremely stressed and anxious, as their body cries out for nicotine during the first few days or weeks of quitting. Yoga is superb at decreasing both the stress and anxiety, whilst pulling oneself back into calm and collected state.
- Another most important aspect of Yoga is Meditation. Meditation helps people relax, focus on the present moment and go with the flow of thoughts and sensations. It works to release stress and thereby reduces stress symptoms like anxiety, depression, anger, frustration or reduced confidence. It also enhances self-control and helps quit smoking. So use meditation to quit smoking or, I should say, Mediate and smoking will quit you.
Learn here how yoga techniques can ease your way into quitting smoking. For expert opinion and guidance on yoga techniques that can help you quit, enroll yourself for a Art of Living Yoga program.
Yoga practice helps develop the body and mind bringing a lot of health benefits yet is not a substitute for medicine.

Overcome Smoking with Yoga
Smoking kills. The cigarette smoke that you inhale carries more than 4000 chemicals, of which at least 250 are known to be harmful and more than 50 are known to cause cancer. According to a fact sheet published by WHO, tobacco kills nearly 6 million people each year. More than five million of these deaths are the result of direct tobacco use while more than 600,000 people die due to second hand smoke.
Although a lot of smokers are aware of the hazards of smoking, they face difficulty giving up their addiction. Even repeated attempts to kick the butt fail after a few days by giving in to the urge of having that one last drag. Though whatever may be the reason for people to start smoking, they have problem quitting it mostly due to stress at work and in personal life. The chemical composition of a cigarette calms the mind and gives temporary relief from stress, thus giving smokers a reason to cling onto the addiction.
If you are looking for a permanent alternative to de-stressing yourself and keep away from smoking, look no further. Yoga is the key to step out of the smoke and rid you of the addiction. A local Art of Living Yoga course can help you learn ways to resist the urges of smoking. The Art of Living Yoga is an effective wellness program that aims to equip you with health enriching and de-stressing tools that help you lead a healthy and joyful life, thus letting your loved ones breathe free too!
Let's look at a few yoga postures and pranayamas that can help you on the way to quit smoking:
1. Kapal Bhati pranayama (Skull Shining breathing technique)
Improve blood circulation, energize nervous system, rejuvenate brain cells and calm your mind by doing the Skull Shining breathing technique. This pranayama also clears the nadis (subtle energy channels) and helps resist the urge of smoking.
2. Nadi Shodhan pranayama (Alternate nostril breathing technique)
Release accumulated stress, calm your mind, purify and balance your naadis (subtle energy channels) with this pranayama. The Nadi Shodhan pranayama also works therapeutically for many respiratory problems and helps counter the side effects of your de-addiction.
3. Bhujanagasana
(Cobra pose)
The Cobra pose expands your chest and improves blood circulation. It reduces fatigue and is also very good for people with respiratory ailments. This yoga posture helps relieve stress and minimizes the urge of smoking.
4. Setu Bandhasana (Bridge pose)
The Bridge pose opens up the lungs, thus improving the flow of oxygen to the body. It also stretches various parts of the body, calms the mind, reduces anxiety, depression and stress and helps keep you away from smoking.
5. Shishuasana (Child pose)
The Child pose relaxes the body, calms down the nervous system and helps relieve the body from stress.
6. Trikonasana (Triangle pose)
The Triangle pose stretches and strengthens various parts of the body. This yoga posture helps strike a very effective physical and mental equilibrium balance in the body. It also reduces anxiety and stress, and helps you fight better the impulse to smoke.
7. Sarvangasana
(Shoulder stand)
The Shoulder stand helps nourish the brain with more blood and is effectively calms it. It also helps relieve stress and depression, thus eliminating the urge of smoking.
8. Shavasana (Corpse pose)
The Corpse pose should be practiced in the end as it lets the body go into a deep, meditative state of rest and relieves stress. This yoga posture rejuvenates the body and also reduces blood pressure and anxiety.
When the mind is relieved and the body relaxed, smoking can effectively be kept at bay. Yoga is widely practiced in many countries and you can even join yoga groups to make it a more enjoyable experience.
So, learn the right way of doing yoga at a local Art of Living Yoga course and blow away the smoke to make way for a better and healthy life!

Professional will writer praises Panorama programme
You'll have all seen it last night – the Panorama programme which "exposed" the fraudulent will writers and so-called probate professionals who prey on the vulnerable. Believe me when I say that the genuinely professional ones among us are also pushing for regulation of this industry so you can come to us in confidence. However, as this press release shows – it isn't all going to be plain sailing…
Tony Crocker, owner of IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd, last night praised the Panorama programme shown on BBC, which highlighted the devastating issue of families affected by unscrupulous conmen, posing as will writers and probate specialists.
The programme focused on cases including a will writing practice which failed to deliver our fifty thousand pounds' worth of funds from an Estate to its beneficiaries, one which had actually lost a Will, and another which was allegedly, deliberately vague in explaining its true cost structure.
These are just some of the problems consumers are encountering when they deal with these individual companies, explains Tony.
He says: "For some time now, the media has reported on tragic cases where either the deceased or their beneficiaries has been conned into thinking they are receiving a quality service and value for money. Of course, every industry has its fair share of unscrupulous money grabbers, but the will writing industry, due in part to its sensitive nature, has been given particularly high profile. This is especially so as it is currently unregulated".
The programme went on to reveal that one of the industry's voluntary organisations, the Society of Will Writers, is working with the Legal Services Board in England, to enforce regulation and protect the vulnerable. Part of this might well include insisting on communicating a more transparent fixed fee structure, and making contractual terms and conditions absolutely clear. However, the solution is not as clear cut as it may first seem, as Tony explains.
"There have been discussions about whether this area of specialism should be given solely to solicitors, who are regulated", he says. "However, my opinion is that this would be detrimental both to the professionals in the will writing industry, most of whom are legitimate, extremely knowledgeable and have years of experience; and to the consumer, who would without doubt suffer financially, after solicitors raise their fees to maximise the potential of this new demand".
So, it seems that although everyone is keen to regulate the will writing and probate industry to protect the consumer, it is not a simple process and it may take some time to reach a sensible decision which will finally protect the deceased and their Estate.
Notes for editors:
Tony Crocker is owner of IWC Estate Planning & Management Ltd. The company has been practising probate, will writing, estate matters and Inheritance Tax guidance for over ten years and Tony himself is a member of the Society of Will Writers. He has been featured in Moneywise magazine.

Dear All,
how can I list all applications together with their corrspondent _HexaIdAbs in a kind of a table with two columns?
_HaxaIdAbs is an attribute of Application and for a "normal attribute" (e.g. Absolute Identifier) it is not a problem to do that by means of a ReportDataSet. But _HexaIdAbs is a not a "normal" attribute (a technical one) and it doesn't appear on the list of attributes during the definition of the ReportDataSet (see attachment).
Thank you in advance
You can run an query on all the applications, then in the results window, you can use the "customize columns" option to display the _HexaIdAbs with the name (and any other attribute). You can then generate a report with the results, and copy-paste that into Excel.
You can also use the Excel Export, or even create a reusable template using Report Studio.

Cruise tourism
Small protest greets Symphony of the Seas
Some one hundred people took part in the protest on Sunday to mark the arrival of the Symphony of the Seas cruise ship. The protest had been called by the 23-S Assembly of which environmentalists GOB are a main force. The ship was making its maiden cruise, and it will continue to operate throughout the season, starting from Barcelona and stopping over in Palma, Marseille, La Spezia, Civitavecchia (Rome) and Naples.
GOB spokesperson Margalida Ramis reiterated a complaint that consideration is not being given to the environmental impact and to the effect on Palma of tourist saturation, especially when there are between five and seven cruise ships on the same day: there was only the one on Sunday. Contamination from the ships affects air quality, while saturation challenges the capacity of resources and infrastructure. She insisted that there has to be an evaluation of more than just the economics of the tourism industry. There cannot be "submission to the blackmail that Majorca lives from tourism".
Rather than lives from, Majorca suffers because of tourism, Ramis continued. There has to be a right to decide on how the city's port is used and this needs to be from both a social and a territorial perspective. The president of GOB, Amadeu Corbera, highlighted the "increasingly obvious problem", which is why he urged the regional government to "debate the limits to and impact of this type of tourism".
We don't want "symbolic statements" from President Armengol about there being "a lot of tourism", Corbera added. "What does she intend doing about a critical situation? Is she going to act accordingly?"
The government, via its PSOE spokesperson Pilar Costa, had already said it respected the protest and that people should express their opinions. Josep Lluis Bauzá, spokesperson for the opposition Ciudadanos at Palma town hall, took a different view. He said today (Monday) that he could not understand "how a protest can be directed at a ship that brings people and entire families to visit the island".

I understand why so many people are angered by the actions of these hate filled protesters, but please do not think they speak for Mallorca. I am fearful that this is not about ecology or over crowding and is more about the eradication of people who "dilute the language" - a quote from my children's teacher. The best way to stand up to these people is to come to Mallorca in even bigger numbers. The ordinary mallorquins, who are not obsessed with linguistic and cultural purity are kind warm inclusive people and we reject hatred totally. As a dual national with loyalties to several places in europe, I find this intolerance of difference horrifying. I also wonder why its Ok to welcome refugees whilst simultaneously showing intolerance and hate to tourists who are people too - I guess with nationalists and racists some people are more valuable than others!

Mallorca has a population in winter for just over 1 million, there is around 30 on that 'demo' so I really do think the DB and everyone is making a mountain out of a mole hill
S.O. / Hace about 1 year
I see one of the comments I referred to has been removed (thank you MDB) but the other using the word 'filthy' still remains.
Chris / Hace about 1 year
Have to say, I agree with S.O. I really cant understand all of this negative attitude towards tourism, but there is absolutley no need to bring such racist comments into it. Mind you, without tourism, Mallorca would be in no position to help any refugees.
RBMM / Hace about 1 year
That minidemonstration had nothing to do with tourists, which they also declared. It was all about environmental pollution because these ships use large quantities of heavy fuel oil (Schweröl). According to Mallorca Zeitung one such ship use as much heavy fuel oil in 3 days as is used during a whole year by the airport PMI. If that is true there should be many more protests.
S.O. / Hace about 1 year
Is no-one moderating these comments? There are two below which I doubt meet the 'rules of use'. By all means criticise these protests as much as you want if you don't agree with them but to insult certain groups by calling them 'filth' is beyond the pale and decidedly racist.
Liz / Hace about 1 year
All I can say to these idiots " be careful what you wish for " Or stick them all onto a plane to look at oxford street on a Saturday morning. In the UK we value the revenue that tourists bring. The problem is these young people have never experienced life without the tourist revenue. Perhaps in the near future they will.

Sad to see the peasant mentality coming out here. If the schools don't provide education for the real world you can't expect anything else.

Sad to see. If I was a visitor on that cruise I would NEVER visit Mallorca again.

Wood Group in Utgard field subsea tie-back design
Wood Group has been awarded the detailed design scope of the subsea tie-back from the Utgard gas and condensate field to the Sleipner facilities, in the Norwegian North Sea. The $1 million work scope is the first call off under the master service agreement (MSA) signed in May 2016.
Effective immediately, the three-year contract will be executed from Wood Group's offices in Stavanger and Oslo.
The Utgard tie-back consists of a 21km long pipe-in-pipe production pipeline from the 4-slot template at Utgard to the Sleipner T platform and an integrated service umbilical (ISU) from the Sleipner A.
The contract builds on Wood Group's support of the Utgard field development; earlier this year the company completed the front end engineering design (FEED) for the same project.
Robin Watson, Wood Group's chief executive, said: "We are excited to continue our work on the next stage of the Utgard field development and will leverage our deep knowledge of the field and the Sleipner facilities, alongside our commitment to working collaboratively with Statoil to ensure success in effective and efficient delivery of this challenging subsea project."
Discovered in 1982 Utgard (formerly Alfa Sentral) is located 21 kilometers from the Sleipner field. The discovery has been considered for development on several occasions in the past.
Earlier in August, Statoil and its partners submitted the Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) and the Field Development Plan (FDP) for the Utgard gas and condensate discovery in the North Sea to Norwegian and UK authorities.
According to Statoil, recoverable reserves are estimated at 56.4 million barrels of oil equivalent, whereas capital expenditures are projected at about NOK 3.5 billion.
