Think Local. Act Local.
If I teach students that current events and issues are immediate and very present here in Oregon, if I support them in seeing their own lives reflected in everything going on "out there," I hope they won't feel so overwhelmed by it all.
Our racial justice unit asks students to examine texts such as the documentary "13th," Ta-Nehisi Coates's "Between the World and Me," Kehinde Wiley paintings, and music videos and song lyrics by Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar. But last year I also asked students to read the article "The Racist History of Portland, the Whitest City in America" by Alana Semuels in order to understand their own state's history of racist laws, redlining and gentrification. They also read "Students Have the Right to #takeaknee" by the Oregon A.C.L.U., which describes an incident in their own school when football players' First Amendment rights were denied by their coach.
My students were eager learners for this unit, digging into the texts and discussion opportunities with a fervor that communicated their hunger for wanting to understand race and racism in their own community, even if they'd experienced racism firsthand.

The Ineffable Project: Exploring Humanity Apart from Academia
At the end of my Senior year in high school, my philosophy teacher, Mr Knox, assigned us our final project. He taught us the word 'ineffable', meaning an experience that can't be described in words. He asked us to craft presentations inspired by an ineffable experience from our lives. My buddies and I were avidContinue reading "The Ineffable Project: Exploring Humanity Apart from Academia"

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited is continuously launching new prepaid plans to attract new users and in between all these moves, the telecom operator has also made two new moves which are surely not the good one for the users. The first one is the move on the plan 99. In this BSNL has decreased the validity of the plan from 26 days to 24 days. The second move is on the sim replacement charges. The telecom operator has changed the sim replacement charges from Rs 10 to Rs 100. Here are the details.
BSNL Prepaid Plan 99 Validity Changed
According to the reports of TelecomTalk, the state run-telecom operator has decreased the validity of the voice only prepaid plan 99. BSNL 99 plan is a voice only plan that offers free calling to its users. Earlier the plan 99 of BSNL was offering 26 days validity and now after making changes in the plan, the telecom operator is now offering only 24 days validity which is 2 days less.
Last year Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited launched the voice only prepaid plan 99 and 319 for prepaid users. But the telecom operator has only made changes in the 99 plan and the 319 plan remains the same. The 319 prepaid plan of BSNL offers 90 days validity.
BSNL Increased Sim Replacement Charges
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited has also made changes in the sim replacement charges. The telecom operator has hiked the charges for the sim replacement from Rs 10 to Rs 100. Earlier, the charges for the sim replacement was Rs 10 while no it is Rs 100. This means the telecom operator has hiked the sim replacement charges by 10 times. The price for the sim replacement is the same for the postpaid and prepaid users.
The telecom operator is offering 4GB sim cards in various circles at the price of Rs 19 and it is not yet known whether the changes in the sim replacement is applicable on this too or not.

Well, I finally got around to using the new cloth diapers I ordered a few weeks ago. I only bought three, so not much to report yet. He went through two of them, both poopy, with nary a blowout, which is fantastic. This little baby has a talent for pooping out the back of his diapers. We just moved him up a size to try to prevent it, and it hasn't worked. If cloth diapers save me from three clothing changes a day, I will be very happy to deal with the laundering of them. (Which I haven't done yet, by the way.) I put Oscar to bed in the last clean one, and am curious to see how that will hold up. He isn't a major wetter, so I don't think it will be too bad; I'm more wondering if it will get uncomfortable for him because it's cloth. He does like having a clean diaper, unlike Wyatt who would run around in a poopy diaper until he had a major rash. We shall see.

Cloth Diapers - Have I Gone Completely MAD?!
I was browsing some random blogs today and ran across one where the mom decided to try out cloth diapers. She linked something called the Bumgenius, an all in one diaper that works much like a disposable, but you wash it. People, I'm a heartbeat away from ordering one, and I think I'm totally out of my head. I found myself surfing cloth diapering sites a few weeks ago, and it shocked me to think I was actually putting out feelers. The idea has always disgusted me. I lived with my brother and his family for a brief period after graduating college, and they used cloth sometimes on my nephew. I remember watching my brother cleaning one out and thinking, that is the nastiest thing I've ever seen. Fast forward to today. I think I could use the Bumgenius and actually like it. I don't know if it's because I went through a month of cleaning poopy underwear when Wyatt was potty training and survived, or because I'm just a little more adventurous now, but I'm really thinking about this one. I found a site that offers a money back guarantee if you buy one and try it, then hate it. I'm thinking about it, I really am...

How do you enjoy a Healthy Christmas?
Staying "healthy" at Christmas time!
I guess that all depends what you mean by "healthy"…. To socialise, enjoy good food and drink, to come together with family & friends, the giving and receiving of presents, is all a part of healthy living.
However, it can be quite challenging to keep the gut healthy during the Christmas period, the time to enjoy all the treats and goodies of the winters festivities.
Temptation is everywhere and it is so easy to over do it sometimes…. And that is fine!!!
As long as you have the key to come back in balance again. So how do you cope with the morning after the Christmas office party or the double dinner day when you have lunch with your own family and then dinner with your partners family? Or simply the Christmas Cake baking day when it is a must to sample each stage?
Juicing is an easy way to keep the stomach and the mind at peace, together with a few deep breaths and awareness of which foods work for you and which foods simply do not.
Fresh juices means the fibre is taken out and so the body does not have the burden of "digestion" and simply gives the body time to eliminate toxins and cleanse or detox itself.
It can be a good idea to get in to the habit at the beginning of december of having a juice once or twice a week, so the body has a chance to practice cleansing and the mind has a chance to go through any resistance that often comes up when we try something different from the norm before it actually just becomes a habit.
I enjoy my juice in the morning, to really give the gut a kick start… but you can drink it any time of the day and enjoy the benefits of a nutritious cleanse.
There is a week to go before December starts officially, so plenty of time to buy the ingredients and get started with this delicious Go Green Detox Juice. There are 2 alternatives: Max Detox format or Medium Detox format… So choose the one that most supports your Christmas Health Wish and give your body a Christmas green treat!
If you think you are suffering from digestion discomfort, try out one of our Food Intolerance Tests so the choices of what to eat and what not to eat become easier to take and stick too.

You've got decided on your day, booked your venue and began searching for dresses. Now you are hunting for a wedding photographer calgary. There are plenty of styles of marriage images out there, and though people today in the marketplace might know these designs inside out they be puzzling for couples. Recall too that don't just have you been picking a mode of pictures, but several types of marriage ceremony pictures may make unique requires on the time on your wedding day.
Buying the model of pictures you'd like at your wedding boils all the way down to a few matters. What type of illustrations or photos you want, how much time you would like to devote using a photographer on your marriage working day, and many importantly of all of your have character and luxury before the digicam.
There are numerous different photography buzzwords on the market. Vintage, editorial, artistic or present-day are merely a number of. Maybe a lot more confusingly they are really used by diverse photographers in numerous ways. In the end it truly is up to couples to question lots of concerns and do a lot of investigation before picking a photographer, and also to depend on observing whole list of images from completed weddings Tend not to count about the ideal five or 6 shots from several weddings for making a choice.
Wedding day photography variations are a compromise in between generating amazing operate and holding to your timetable. A photographer may produce good shots, however, if he takes much too extended to produce them you almost certainly is not going to get pleasure from the expertise.
Conventional (or Posed) Wedding Pictures
Lots of people assume of conventional marriage ceremony photography as countless stuffy team photos in which every person seems to be stiff like a board. Worse still, the different collections of folks manage to go on endlessly. I feel you will find there's vogue being down on conventional marriage ceremony images, though the genuine functioning framework is still the exact same for many wedding photographers. The images may perhaps be additional fashionable nevertheless the true practical experience within the working day for that bride and groom is extremely related.
You can find always a trade off concerning the sort of perform a photographer does along with the time it requires to shoot it. A lot more formal posed photos will acquire longer to set up and reach. Any photographer who creates creative posed do the job will require a certain amount of your time to provide his best get the job done. It really is important that you discover how considerably time he will need, and work out how it will fit into your day. You can find photographers who commit two or three hours on official photographs. Be sure to are satisfied with supplying in excess of that quantity of time on your own wedding day. If you're not that comfy in front of the camera you may find this sort of pictures more challenging. A great photographer need to be capable to allow you to and put you at your relieve but for a lot of folks it could possibly however seem to be a tad challenging.
Reportage Marriage ceremony Pictures (Wedding Photojournalism)
If classic is focused on posed pictures, then reportage wedding ceremony pictures is the opposite. It depends on capturing times as they occur, and is particularly additional similar to a fly about the wall documentary. This manner of wedding ceremony images signifies the photographer spends the majority of his time inside the qualifications, and so is now ever more well-liked with couples. Weddings may also be increasingly considerably less formal than they was. Documentary wedding day photography calls for another skill set from standard wedding pictures this means you really have to be certain that your photographer has the proper photographic qualifications and might tell you about complete weddings to again this up. Wedding ceremony photojournalism is much more a few entire list of photos within the whole working day than a list of a dozen highlights. There are actually photographers on the market who will jump about the hottest bandwagon to achieve company, but nevertheless utilize the same previous design they always have. Wedding ceremony photojournalism is about anticipation and staying from the right area at the right time. It's not about closely directing men and women, so it places lots of standard wedding ceremony photographers beyond their skill set. Usually there are some much less ethical photographers who will utilize the most up-to-date buzzwords to improve their online search engine existence, but still shoot the same fatigued previous photos.
For anyone who is reticent about having your picture taken, wedding ceremony photojournalism might be your best decision. The pictures comes about devoid of you truly realizing and you may search your all-natural greatest.
Despite the fact that both of these ways might surface polar opposites, in fact most marriage photographers will offer you a blend of those two models. You will find not many wedding day photojournalists who will not shoot at the very least some official pictures and regular wedding photographers will shoot informal shots in addition. Locate out what proportion of every a photographer likes to shoot, and better still ask them the things they like to shoot quite possibly the most – odds are this really is what they are most effective at.
Classic Wedding Photography
Vintage marriage ceremony images can be a design that's been coming into vogue lately, but in numerous ways its a tough a single one particular to quantify. Classic can suggest everything from making use of outdated movie cameras in the course of several of the wedding day to just a unique approach to publish production to create 'vintage' searching electronic documents. There are some good photographers on the market, but keep in mind that if you're acquiring files which have been intensely edited within a specified model, you operate the potential risk of your images searching rather dated some many years later. If I had been employing a classic type photographer, I individually would want a minimum of a lot of the marriage ceremony shot on movie, I'm not a huge admirer of faking things. As constantly check with thoughts, see illustrations and make an knowledgeable selection.
Editorial Marriage Images
This marriage genre is influenced because of the manner editorials of glossy publications, at it truly is most effective it could make great high-end images. To make this productively on a wedding day day the photographer really should be extremely organised, and would in all probability have to have an assistant that will help create a lot of the pictures ahead of time, even though that might rely on her or his type. Do your investigation to be sure that enough time demands for such a shoot slot in with your plans. In the event you definitely similar to this form of pictures but don't would like to commit far too substantially the perfect time to it in your wedding ceremony day, think about scheduling a different photo session following the wedding ceremony. Often describes like a trash or cherish the costume shoot, a individual picture session may be the easiest way to obtain the wedding day working day you desire as well as photos you are going to appreciate without shedding a huge chunk of one's wedding day. Additionally, it signifies you and your photographer can pick the best time of day with the right gentle and you've got scope for rescheduling if it is pouring with rain. In several countries, significantly the US, high stop wedding photography is evolving in the direction of 3 shoots: the engagement shoot, the wedding working day, and an editorial session. Do not essentially consider that everything must be carried out in a single working day.
Inventive or Good Art Wedding day Images
Basically an evolution of conventional marriage ceremony photography, this kind of pictures presents a contemporary tackle the standard list of posed pictures, whilst these are each conditions that have been rather in excess of used by the photographic group, so once more do your study. At its greatest this genre can develop transferring romantic images, but some photographers can over utilize the very same poses, so it could feel a little bit impersonal. Ask to view numerous shoots and do not be afraid to input your very own concepts at your pre-wedding meeting.
You can find great deal of types of photographer out there, although the key point is usually to seem outside of the catchy buzzwords and glimpse very long and hard at portfolios. Ultimately it is the competence on the photographer you happen to be choosing that really issues. Practical experience, private services and professionalism are what assure a constant standard of pictures from marriage ceremony to wedding day, as well as the regularity and ability to handle different taking pictures disorders that present by themselves during a wedding working day. Their portfolio must show an excellent balance of shots from bridal preparations to the very first dance. Check with questions about the amount of time they're going to want to accomplish people all important formal and partners photographs, and operate out just how much time you are delighted to give. Despite having additional observational models, planning and communication before the wedding ceremony is vital to obtain the ideal outcomes and to get them effectively. Retain on the recommendations and you are sure to use a unforgettable wedding day day with shots to match.

There's a new princess in town, and she's a lover of all things sparkly, glittery, and everything in between. Gitterbelle is a modern-day princess who loves to go on adventures with her friends. Parragon has created a new line of enchanting story and activity books based on the new character. They're fun to read, have adorable illustrations, and even include a template to cut out and make a tiara in one of the activity books —which, come on, enhances the princess experience by at least ten times.
Glitterbelle is smart, funny, and enthusiastic. She loves her parents (the King and the Queen), adores her pet dog, Bob, enjoys racing around on her scooter, and can often be found climbing trees with her best friends, Dazzlina and Angel. Like all princesses, Glitterbelle has pretty dresses covered in sequins, but she prefers to wear leggings and her glittery sneakers.
Glitterbelle: The Sparkliest Princess Ever!, is a storybook that introduces Glitterbelle as she tries to be a proper fairytale princess (but it doesn't quite work out). Her friends help her realize that she should embrace what she loves—all things glitter–because she is already the best kind of princess after all. Glitterbelle: Doodle, Dazzle, Create! is an activity book is an interactive activity books that allows readers to doodle, design, and color as they read the story of Glitterbelle and her besties at a slumber party in a palace.
Glitterbelle: Dazzling Dress-Up is a sticker activity book, where readers can dress up Glitterbelle and her friends in a fashion show with various different scenarios. With more than 400 stickers, readers can try on different designs. It even comes with 35 glittery nail stickers and a nail file to bring out the fashion princess in everyone. Glitterbelle: Me and You is a journal, where kids are encouraged to fill out pages about their friends, dreams, and secrets.
The entire line is enchanting and cute, and is a low-tech way for kids to pass the time. The activity and journal books remind me of the ones I used to love when I was growing up.

Archbishop reflects on visit to Emmaus Homeless Community
Friday 22nd February 2008The Archbishops of Canterbury and York spent time during their joint visit to Cambridge looking at the Churches' response to homelessness by visiting the Emmaus Community in Landbeach.
The Emmaus Community at Landbeach is one of 14 centres in the UK that offers a home for up to thirty people who were formerly homeless which provides not only shelter but work in accordance with the principles of acceptance, sharing, working for others of greater need and self respect. Emmaus Communities enable people to move on from homelessness, providing work and a home in a supportive, family environment. Companions, as residents are known, work full time collecting renovating and reselling donated furniture. This work supports the Community financially and enables residents to develop skills and rebuild their self-respect.
Dr Williams reflected on the visit and on his concern for the very vulnerable in society saying, "I'm quite worried about what we see but also about the hidden elements in many cities where people are in vulnerable short-term accommodation and that's not always registered as homelessness, so people who do have a roof over their heads are still in some sense homeless because they have no security. And what's wonderful about this project, about Emmaus generally, is of course that it's not just a soup kitchen. As you can see, it actually gives people skills, it keeps them occupied, and it allows them to make a living which is ploughed back into the community life. And that sort of constructive work which gives people their dignity is hugely important I think".
When asked about the practicalities of engaging with vulnerable individuals on the edge of society Dr Williams said, "I think we start by not being frightened of them. We start by being willing to talk to them, ask their names and engage with them. And then, you know, projects like this give them a chance to show what they're capable of".


text: While major corporations can spend millions of dollars on branding, most businesses need to focus on the bottom line to stay profitable. Performance marketing puts power back in the hands of the advertiser.You determine the action, then pay when that action has been completed – whether it's a sale, lead, or click. Benefits of Performance Marketing There are many benefits to running performance marketing campaigns, including: • Easy-to-track performance • Low risk • ROI-focused The main benefit to performance marketing is that it's 100% measurable. Thanks to new technology and advanced ad platforms, all your campaign metrics are tracked and reported for your convenience. Getting Started Before you can measure the success of any campaign, it's important to establish your campaign goals. Whether it's to generate brand awareness or sell products, it's important to set goals prior to launch. Many ad platforms require you to establish goals before creating ads or setting up campaigns. Your campaign goals determine where your ads are shown, who they're shown to and other factors vital to success. The most popular digital marketing goals are: • Traffic • Repeat Visits • Engagement • Lead Generation • Sales Once you have established your campaign goals, you can use ad platforms to create campaigns that target those specific goals. Pre-Launch Plan Your strategy should be based on your business goals. For example, the strategy for a lead generation campaign is very different from one built to grow brand awareness. Once your campaign goals have been established, begin to research ad opportunities. Whether it's through affiliate marketing, content marketing, or a social media platform, look for companies that specialize in your conversion type. Part of your overall strategy includes building a strong team. To build the ideal marketing team requires: • Evaluating and improving existing teams • Growing your team by filling in gaps Measure the strengths and weaknesses of your employees and gauge their expertise. Rate your team before you begin, and work towards constant improvement. Document and set goals to ensure team growth. Going Live With a strong team and a well-developed strategy, you're ready to launch your performance marketing campaigns. Post-Launch Plan The real work kicks in post-launch. Campaigns begin to generate data the moment they launch. It's up to the marketer to optimize individual campaigns for performance, but the advertiser must also optimize for top-performing ad sources. Keep track of analytics and metrics to determine which sources of traffic are performing best, then allocate ad funds accordingly. Use performance marketing campaigns to grow sales and increase your return on investment.

Lesson 6 - Objectives 1-2 (Monday)
B06-01 What are layers and how do they work in Photoshop?
Layers are one of the most powerful features of Photoshop, and it's important that you understand what they do, and how they work. Perhaps the easiest way to explain layers would be to look at how Disney animators work. An artist would paint a beautiful background in watercolor or tempera paint, and hand it off to the animators. The animator would paint the character animation on clear acetate cells (see image at right), which would be laid over the top of the background and photographed. The clear acetate layers would protect the background, and allow the animators the freedom to make changes on the cells.
Think of Photoshop layers in the same way. Each layer is separately editable, and protects any of the other layers from changes. You use layers to perform tasks such as compositing multiple images, adding text to an image, or adding vector graphic shapes. Watch the video, Layers, Got to Love them..
Photoshop has several types of layers: Background layer, text layers, shape layers, adjustment layers, smart object layers, and regular pixel layers. We will learn about each of these in detail during this course.
The Background Layer: When you open a new file in Photoshop, it will have a single layer - the background layer. This background layer is special - different from any other layers you add. You'll notice that it has a padlock icon, meaning that this layer is locked. As mentioned in the video, Understanding Layers, there are three things you can't do with the background layer...
You can unlock the background layer by either clicking on the lock, double-clicking the word background and renaming the layer; or you can drag the padlock icon to the trash icon at the bottom of the layers palette. This will turn the background into a regular layer, and eliminate the three restrictions mentioned above. I unlock my background layer on every new image I create. If you ever need to change back to a background layer, you can do so in the LAYER menu -> NEW -> BACKGROUND FROM LAYER.
B06-02 Skill: Layer basics
The next section of the layers palette allows you to filter to specific kinds of layers. This is quite helpful when you have many layers, as in the image to the right. The drop down menu on the left (defaults to Kind) allows you to filter by name, layer effect, blending mode, attribute (such as visibility, clipped, etc.), color (a label you've assigned), smart object, selected, etc. The icons to the right of the drop down are explained in the image.
The next part of the Layers palette lets you control the master opacity of a layer, and its blending mode. If you hover your mouse over the word "Opacity" it will turn into a scrubby slider, allowing you to change the opacity by clicking and dragging to the left or right. A layer's overall opacity determines to what degree it obscures or reveals the layer beneath it. A layer with 1% opacity appears nearly transparent, whereas one with 100% opacity appears completely opaque.
A layer's blending mode determines how its pixels blend with underlying pixels in the image. You can create a variety of special effects using blending modes.
The next section of the Layers palette allows you to lock portions of the selected layer, as well as adjust the fill opacity. Fill opacity affects only pixels, shapes, or text on a layer without affecting the opacity of layer effects such as drop shadows.
You can lock layers fully or partially to protect their contents. For instance, you may want to lock a layer fully when you finish with it. You may want to lock a layer partially if it has the correct transparency and styles, but you are still deciding on positioning. When a layer is locked, a lock icon appears to the right of the layer name. The lock icon is solid when the layer is fully locked and hollow when the layer is partially locked.
The eye icon at the left of each layer indicates whether the layer is visible or not. If you click on it, the eye will disappear and the layer becomes invisible - until you click on it again to make it visible.
Any layer that has an FX symbol means that you've applied layer effects to that layer. Layer effects include bevel and emboss, stroke, inner shadow, inner glow, satin, color overlay, gradient overlay, pattern overlay, outer glow, and drop shadow. We'll learn more detail about those in lesson 13.
At the bottom of the layer palette are a series of icons that serve various layer functions.
Photoshop will allow you to have as many layers as your computer memory will allow. When you are seeing a Photoshop image with many layers, you are looking down through this stack of layers with the topmost layer being at the top, and through each underlying layer until you reach the bottom layer. At right is the layers palette for one of my images, "She Sleeps."
Let's begin by learning about the layers palette. If you are in Photoshop and cannot see the layers palette, go to the WINDOWS menu and click on LAYERS. At the right of the Layers tab, you'll see a menu icon. Clicking on this in the layers palette will open a menu similar to the LAYERS menu, with nearly every command that controls what you can do with layers.

When we think about skincare we easily think about all those products and lotions we put on our faces to make it look more even and fresh. But, there's more than products to spread on our face to improve our skincare. Starting with staying hydrated and a good nutrition, to the pillowcase we use.
This is something I have been curious about for quite a long time and I wanted to try it myself. I've read in several places that silk pillowcases can be so beneficial for your skin and your hair. Like something life-changing. I always thought that silk pillowcases were used for a luxurious looking decoration, but seems like it's much more than that.
Silk pillowcases help your skin retain all the moisture and prevent wrinkles to appear. Also, something I highly appreciate, is that you're not going to wake up with that bed head we all hate so much.
So, because of all these amazing things it is supposed to do, I decided to get mine from MYK Silk, because they had such a great selection of silk items, affordable and good quality. I got this mulberry silk pillowcase in a caramel color to match my room decor and my aesthetic.
Use the code "GOLD15" for a 15% off everything.
It feels so soft when I'm sleeping, and I guess my skin will be improving a bit in the near future because of it as well. We'll have to see that. But, for now, it looks really pretty on my bed.
Do you have a silk pillowcase? Have you ever heard of its benefits? Definitely tell me so in the comments down below and I'll be glad to read!
Love and lipstick ❤

My search for a coral coat came to an end on Sunday when I found this lovely one in the Miss Selfridge sale!
Ever since I returned the boiled wool Topshop version in December thinking it was never going to suit me, I have been searching for it or similar ever since, I hate having shopping regrets! The coat ended up being a sell out as Ellie Goulding and a few bloggers including Zoella & Tanya Burr were spotted wearing it.
Anyways no point dwelling about it... it turns into a shopping challenge!
I found this coat for £39 instead of £79 in the sale while in Edinburgh at the weekend and I was pretty pleased. There was a few sizes left but I ended up buying the coat in a size 12 and to be honest this is not my size at all I'm currently a size 16. But as it is oversized I decided going for this size was more wearable for spring then by winter when I am nearer a size 12 it will be a cosy boyfriend style.
|Miss Selfridge - no longer available online
|Ellie Goulding
|Tanya Burr 'Hello London'
Can't believe it's May already, which means I need to pull together my April favourites to share with you all. Plus as you might have guessed I have been shopping again over the last 2 weeks so I have another Haul for you over the next few days too.
This is me last week in Edinburgh while staying with family and its pretty much a secret but Edinburgh has an amazing beach! One of my favourite places ever!!
Have a great Bank Holiday weekend!

And so here I am in Scotland again, my first visit of 2007. Following the excitement of Thursday, with the self-appraisal interviews, and some provisional curacy news for the final year students, it was a very early start on Friday morning - 3am, to be exact! The M50 was quiet enough at that time, you'll be unsurprised to hear, and so I was in the airport nice and early. Yes, I'm the sort of person who likes to be nice and early to appointments, and especially the airport. Plus, it means I can sit and read, or watch the world go by.
I mostly chose the reading option, which meant that by the time I had landed in Scotland, I had read through Max Lucado's new book, 'Facing Your Giants.' It's on the life of David, and revolves around the maxim: Focus on giants - you stumble. Focus on God - your giants tumble.' Lucado is generally 'light' reading, but the illustrations are great, and his stories are always good. He is definitely a wordsmith, the way he turns memorable phrases and word plays out. Plus, he is always focused on Scripture, and teaching the message of the passage.
However, in my people-watching, I noticed a rugby team from Old Belvedere in Dublin who were flying out to Spain. Their destination was San Sebastian, and brought back good memories of last summer to me, and our day trip to the coastal town in Spain... and the heat of the place!!!
Having landed in Edinburgh as the dawn was breaking, I got into the city and left off my bag in the station. Then off for a wander, taking in breakfast in a wee cafe at the foot of the Castle Mount, with a great view of Edinburgh Castle. Pictures to follow on Flickr and here! I then couldn't miss my regular tour of bookshops in Edinburgh, along the Grassmarket and on out round the back of the Castle.
It's been great being back in Dundee and seeing Lyns again! Today we got a trip to the hospital (no, don't worry, neither of us are sick, bad and bokey) and then into the city centre for some book browsing and other shopping. Tonight the meal was in Rancho Pancho, and was delicious - Mexican food, so a wee bit spicy - my usual order of fajitas!
But the weekend is too short, and so tomorrow it's back to Dublin again...

It's unusual to find like-minded (progressive) souls in here in the deep South. Today I met some indirectly through, of all places, Craig's List. I know what just flashed through your mind, … it wasn't through that kind of ad lol
Given I just got a recumbent exercise bike, I advertised my ellipse machine. The younger (mid-40s) couple that came to look at it had recently moved from California. We struck up a conversation across all kinds of topics from working-out (he was a marathoner) to a healthy diet (she's a nutritionist) to the recent (medical) marijuana debate to politics …
Long story short for my Pawleys Island progressive friends – we now have another couple to invite to the next drinking liberally get-together on our back porch.
I believe there are a fair number of closet liberals (or at least moderate conservatives/non-45ers) around, unidentified. I am more willing to let people know my political proclivities w/ 45 in power, because I think people need to be aware that people they know are opposed to what's going on, that not everyone in their sphere is of like mind.

Investing.com - Natural gas futures plunged on Thursday after official data revealed U.S. inventories fell less than expected last week despite below-normal temperatures gripping much of the country.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, natural gas futures for delivery in March traded at USD5.112 per million British thermal units during U.S. trading, down 6.46%. The commodity hit session high of USD5.476 and a low of USD5.058.
The March contract settled up 10.61% on Wednesday to end at USD5.465 per million British thermal units.
Natural gas futures were likely to find support at USD4.652 per million British thermal units, Monday's low, and resistance at USD5.481, Wednesday's high.
Recent blasts of cold air sweeping across the U.S. hiked demand for heating, though the country tapped natural gas resources a little less than markets were expecting, data revealed, which sparked a selloff.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration said in its weekly report that natural gas storage in the U.S. in the week ended January 24 fell by 230 billion cubic feet, missing expectations for a decline of 236 billion cubic feet.
Gas supplies fell by 191 billion cubic feet during the same week a year earlier, while the five-year average change for the week is a decline of 162 billion cubic feet.
Total U.S. natural gas storage stood at 2.193 trillion cubic feet. Stocks were 637 billion cubic feet less than last year at this time and 437 billion cubic feet below the five-year average of 2.630 trillion cubic feet for this time of year.
The report showed that in the East Region, stocks were 269 billion cubic feet below the five-year average, following net withdrawals of 124 billion cubic feet.
Stocks in the Producing Region were 121 billion cubic feet below the five-year average of 924 billion cubic feet after a net withdrawal of 84 billion cubic feet.

Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome
Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome, Dr Joy DeGruy While African Americans managed to emerge from chattel slavery and the oppressive decades that followed with great strength and resiliency, they did not emerge unscathed. Slavery produced centuries of physical, psychological and spiritual injury. Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America's Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing lays the groundwork for understanding how the past has influenced the present, and opens up the discussion of how we can use the strengths we have gained to heal.
The New Jim Crow
The New Jim Crow, Michelle Alexander Once in a great while a book comes along that changes the way we see the world and helps to fuel a nationwide social movement. The New Jim Crow is such a book. Praised by Harvard Law professor Lani Guinier as "brave and bold," this book directly challenges the notion that the election of Barack Obama signals a new era of colorblindness. With dazzling candor, legal scholar Michelle Alexander argues that "we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it." By targeting black men through the War on Drugs and decimating communities of color, the U.S. criminal justice system functions as a contemporary system of racial control—relegating millions to a permanent second-class status—even as it formally adheres to the principle of colorblindness. In the words of Benjamin Todd Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP, this book is a "call to action."
Called "stunning" by Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David Levering Lewis, "invaluable" by the Daily Kos, "explosive" by Kirkus, and "profoundly necessary" by the Miami Herald, this updated and revised paperback edition of The New Jim Crow, now with a foreword by Cornel West, is a must-read for all people of conscience.
13th Documentary, The title of Ava DuVernay's extraordinary and galvanizing documentary 13TH refers to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which reads "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States." The progression from that second qualifying clause to the horrors of mass criminalization and the sprawling American prison industry is laid out by DuVernay with bracing lucidity. With a potent mixture of archival footage and testimony from a dazzling array of activists, politicians, historians, and formerly incarcerated women and men, DuVernay creates a work of grand historical synthesis.

The US patent laws say that one may obtain a patent for a new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter. But "laws of nature, natural phenomena, and abstract ideas" are not patentable, according to the US Supreme Court in Mayo v. Prometheus. At first glance, that seems to make sense, but on further reflection, it may not in the context of medical diagnostic methods.
In Mayo, the patent covered a process that enabled doctors who use a particular drug to treat patients with an autoimmune disease to determine whether a dosage was too low or high. The patent claimed: A method of optimizing therapeutic efficacy for treatment of an immune-mediated gastrointestinal disorder, comprising:
- administering a drug providing 6-thioguanine to a subject having said immune-mediated gastrointestinal disorder; and
- determining the level of 6-thioguanine in said subject having said immune-mediated gastrointestinal disorder, wherein the level of 6-thioguanine less than about 230 pmol per 8x108 red blood cells indicates a need to increase the amount of said drug subsequently administered to said subject and wherein the level of 6-thioguanine greater than about 400 pmol per 8x108 red blood cells indicates a need to decrease the amount of said drug subsequently administered to said subject."
The Mayo court observed that "all inventions at some level embody, use, reflect, rest upon, or apply laws of nature, natural phenomena, or abstract ideas." However, the Court also observed that "to transform an unpatentable law of nature into a patent-eligible application of such a law, one must do more than simply state the law of nature while adding the words apply it.'" More specifically, according to the Court, "[p]urely conventional or obvious' [pre]solution activity' is normally not sufficient to transform an unpatentable law of nature into a patent eligible application of such a law. . . . And, "the prohibition against patenting abstract ideas 'cannot be circumvented by' . . . adding 'insignificant post-solution activity.'"
The Court viewed the Mayo patent claims as ones where they "inform a relevant audience about certain laws of nature; any additional steps consist of well understood, routine, conventional activity already engaged in by the scientific community; and those steps, when viewed as a whole, add nothing significant beyond the sum of their parts taken separately." With that interpretation of the claims, it would be difficult to argue that the patent was not valid.
Nevertheless, "friends of the court" filed briefs that argued that denying patent coverage here would impede future discoveries in diagnostic research. Others argued a contrary position, stating that allowing patent coverage would impede the use of scientific data. Whether either of the above arguments is valid, the Supreme Court did give hints as to what might make a diagnostic patent valid. The Court referred to a prior decision that found a patent valid and which related to a method of molding raw rubber. The method used a known mathematical equation to "determine when (depending upon the temperature inside the mold, the time the rubber had been in the mold, and the thickness of the rubber) to open the press." The patented steps included: "(1) continuously monitoring the temperature on the inside of the mold, (2) feeding the resulting numbers into a computer, which would use the [known] equation to continuously recalculate the mold opening time, and (3) configuring the computer so that at the appropriate moment it would signal a device' to open the press." According to the Mayo court, the patent was valid because "of the way the additional steps of the process integrated the equation into the process as a whole."
What the above example provides are hints to a prospective patent applicant of a diagnostic method of what needs to be present for patent validity. Of course, all patent applicants want a broad patent. But broad may be one thing and overly broad may be another. The Mayo patent may have just been overly broad, but with some "additional steps" the patent might have been saved.
For prospective patent applicants with a diagnostic method, bumping up against the prohibition of patenting a law of nature seems likely. But don't be greedy — provide some "additional steps" to your laws of nature so that the patent examiner has something to hang his/her hat on in order to grant your patent.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Cheryl3802 from Nice, but pity different chain lengths not offered This is a lovely looking necklace which I purchased online for a birthday present. It would be better if it came with a choice of chain lengths as 45cm was a fraction short and it isn't as if it can just be worn with another chain.
