Definition Edit
A litigation PAE
|typically sue[s] potential licensees and settled shortly afterward by entering into license agreements with defendants covering small portfolios, often containing fewer than ten patents.[1]
Overview Edit
"The licenses typically yielded total royalties of less than $300,000. According to one estimate, $300,000 approximates the lower bound of early-stage litigation costs of defending a patent infringement suit. Given the relatively low dollar amounts of the licenses, the behavior of Litigation PAEs is consistent with nuisance litigation."[2]
"For each separate patent portfolio that they acquired, Litigation PAEs characteristically created a new affiliate entity, which often [hold] ten patents or less. They generally operated with little or no working capital and relied on agreements to share future revenue with patent sellers to fund their businesses."[3]

Great response to our 2018 keynote: The Power of Improv to Transform Teams
Tracy and Ralph provided a great experience for attendees at our conference! There was phenomenal engagement in the room and attendees visibly improved their communication and team-building ability in just a short space of time. They really guided the audience well and made them feel comfortable with being vulnerable on stage, speaking up in their groups and exercising the communication strategies that make all leaders and teams successful. I recommend them for any organization wanting to help workers build confidence and develop ideas as a collective group.

The Heart of God the Father is Christ Jesus. And the heart of Christ is mercy and compassion. Such is the Treasure of God, which He freely bestows upon His creatures in gentleness and peace; for it is always His nature to be gracious and kind. The Father treasures His Son, and for His sake He treasures you. Christ Jesus treasures mercy, and in mercy He forgives your sins and saves you.
This mercy and compassion of God the Father in Christ Jesus are what characterize the Kingdom of God. This is what life in His Kingdom is like, the way that it is lived in His presence by grace.
The grace and favor of God are a priceless treasure, indeed. It is a real prize that remains forever, which gives everlasting life to you. It cannot be earned or purchased, but only received as a gift; not by works, but only through repentant faith in Christ. And although such repentance and faith are yours, they are not of yourself but of God. They are His good work in you, by grace alone.
You cannot steal this treasure away from God, but neither can it be stolen from you, to whom He has given it freely as a gift by the Gospel. In Christ, this treasure is yours, and you are His own.
When you live by such faith — in the sure hope and certain confidence of Christ — your entire life and your whole world are shaped by the grace and favor of God, by His mercy and compassion.
It is a matter of where you have fixed your focus. That is where your heart and home are. When you are conscious of your life before God in Christ, and you live unto Him by faith in His mercy, then you have true joy, even in the midst of sorrow, and you rest in peace in the midst of death.
But when you are conscious, not of God, but of yourself — when you are not Christ-conscious, but self-conscious — then your body and life in the world are hounded by relentless demands and constant concerns, by worries and anxieties that never fully go away. The harder you try to get on top of it all, the less you are able to set your heart and mind at ease, or to let your body rest.
If what you seek are the praises of people, their admiration, appreciation, and applause, then you already have what you're going to get, and even that much will not last for long. Fifteen minutes of fame? Maybe more, maybe less. But not forever, that's for sure. And it will not satisfy you.
Life on earth is fleeting and failing. So is everything about it, and everything it offers from within. Neither the entire universe nor any part or portion of creation is self-sufficient or self-sustaining. Apart from the Word of God, it withers and fades, it dies and decays.
And yet, you hunger insatiably for those precarious and perishing things, as though they could save you and sustain you; as though they could actually give you life and peace and happiness; and as though your appetites and desires gave you a rightful claim to take and keep whatever you want.
Driven by the passions of your fallen flesh (as it is also mortal and perishing), you're constantly feeding on the world around you, but you are never content, never satisfied. The more you devour, the more you are consumed by your addictions to that which is not God and cannot give you life.
With yourself at the center, as though you were God, you use and use up whatever you find in self-interest, while you neglect the Lord and your neighbor: without faith, and without love. There are plenty of outright pagans all around you, and professed atheists, who attempt to live without God in the world. But do not pride yourself on the trappings of religion and philanthropy in your life. Even your piety, prayers, and charitable contributions are self-serving, and therefore idolatrous, whenever they are exercised and offered, not in the fear and faith of God, but in order to be noticed and praised by people; whenever your concern is not what you can do to serve others, but what others think of you and say about you, and what you can get them to do for you and give to you.
Repent of your idolatry. Stop worshiping yourself, and stop using your neighbor. Return to the Lord your God. Be reconciled to Him by faith in His Gospel of forgiveness, and live before Him in the righteousness of Christ, your Savior. For He is the One who calls you daily to repentance, not in wrath, but on account of His mercy and compassion for you. He has not hardened His heart against you, nor does He cast you away from His presence. On the contrary, His grace and favor are upon you in the Gospel of His Cross and Passion, and in His Resurrection from the dead.
Therefore, discipline yourself in accordance with His Word, and so bear the fruits of repentance. Not as though to save yourself, but as you live by grace in the presence of God, in His Kingdom. It is to this that He has called you, in peace, that His Life might be yours, both now and forever.
Discipline your flesh by fasting, in whatever particular ways will be most helpful to you in curbing and resisting your own particular appetites and addictions. That may be food and drink, or it may be something else entirely. Do not despise the good gifts of God, but do not make false gods out of them, either. Rather, temper your consumption. Learn to live without those things that are not beneficial or necessary, and with less of those things that do still belong to your daily bread.
Do not fast to impress God or your neighbor, but to loosen the fallen world's grip on your mortal flesh, and to exercise hunger and thirst for the righteousness of God in Christ. That is to seek first His Kingdom of heaven, instead of striving to reside in the palaces of earth and reveling in them. Let your body find its resurrection and its real life in the Body and Blood of Christ Jesus.
Likewise, discipline your heart and mind, your lips and mouth, by the prayer and confession of the Word of God. You will not drive the devil, the world, and your own sinful thoughts and feelings out of your head by your own willpower; you are not equal to that task. But actively take up the Sword of the Spirit, and wield the shield of faith, by hearing and confessing the Word that God speaks to you in Christ Jesus. Call upon His Name in the confidence that your Father in heaven hears and answers your prayers, just as He has promised and has taught you to pray by His Son.
Do not worry whether others are listening or notice. You are not praying to them, but to the Lord. Fix your eyes on Him, by fixing your faith on His Word of the Cross, in which His mercy and forgiveness are given to you. Hear the preaching of His Resurrection, in which you are justified, and reconciled to God, and raised up in peace from death and the grave to the life everlasting.
So, too, discipline your hands and feet, your attitude and actions toward others, and the use of your possessions, by having mercy on your neighbor and giving alms to help and support him. Do so quietly, and in humility before God. For you know that you deserve nothing but punishment for your sins, and that everything you hold in your hand is nothing but the charity of God. Therefore, do not boast of your good works, nor embarrass your neighbor by announcing your almsgiving. You are not above him, nor is he beholden to you, but you and he alike are beholden to the Lord.
Living before God in the secret place of faith, in the hiddenness of the Cross of Christ, does not mean that you ignore your neighbor or turn your back on your brothers and sisters in their need. It does mean that, instead of viewing other people as an opportunity to achieve your own goals and to advance your own agendas, in Christ you are able to see them as objects of His affection, who are dear to His heart and recipients of His divine compassion. So then do you also love them, and you serve them for Christ Jesus' sake, because you have also received the treasure of His mercy.
Indeed, you are able to pray to God, your dear Father in heaven, and you are able to give alms, because the Lord your God has had mercy upon you, and has given His only Son to die for you, and has now also given Him to you — into your ears, into your heart and mind, and into your hands and mouth — by the Ministry of His Gospel. You are able to return to the Lord your God, because He has sought you out and found you, and He has come to you in Christ Jesus.
Let such tender mercies of God be your dearest treasure, and so also the character and content of your Christian heart. For this treasure does not decay or turn to dust, and it cannot be taken away from you. It is given to you freely by the Lord your God in Christ Jesus, your Savior, and it is surely not depleted but multiplied by extending it to others in His Name and for His sake.
The Lord Jesus Christ, who is all in all, is all mercy and compassion. He is the One who saves you by His grace. He is the One who fasts in faith before His God and Father, so that, by His hunger and thirst for righteousness, He might establish and obtain the Kingdom of heaven for you and all. So has He made Himself nothing, and humbled Himself unto death, that you should now be fed with His Body and given to drink of His Blood, in which the Kingdom and the righteousness of God are yours. For having become sin and suffered death, He who knew no sin has borne the curse and consequences of your sin, in order to bless you with the Spirit of God, unto the life everlasting.
He who died for you has also risen from the dead, and He ever lives to pray and intercede for you before the throne of God, His Father in heaven. In that Inner Room, which is the Holy of Holies made without hands, eternal in the heavens, He prays for you, and He is heard. Thus are you also brought before God, who is your own Father in Christ, and you now abide in His presence.
And even that is not all. For not only has Christ given Himself for you, in order to make peace for you with God. And not only has the Father received you to Himself in Christ Jesus, risen from the dead and seated at His right hand. But also here and now, in this Sacrament of His Altar, in this Grain Offering and Drink Offering of Bread and Wine, the Father feeds you with His Son and comes to abide with you in Him. He places His most precious Treasure into your hands.
That is, not only does Christ Jesus give you alms, but He is Himself the Gift of God's mercy in the Flesh. He is the Bread from heaven, who has given Himself for the life of the world. And He is the true Vine, who has shed His holy, precious blood to make Atonement for you and everyone.
In receiving what He gives you and pours out for you, you receive the reward of His mercy, and you are returned to the Lord your God, who loves you with an everlasting Love. For where His Treasure is, there His heart is also. And here the Father opens His great heart of mercy to you in the Body and Blood of Christ Jesus, your Savior. So does He abide with you, forever and always.
In the Name + of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The oceans, rivers, lakes, and streams are part of God's wondrous creation. Looking at our blue planet from space, it might appear that we have a lot of water. But only 1 percent is available for human consumption. Since there are over 7 billion humans—not to mention all the plants and other animals that depend on water to stay alive—we must learn to share and use water wisely. As God's stewards we are called to care for this sacred gift. We must learn to protect water (don't pollute) and use it carefully (conserve, don't waste). That's going to be our focus this week.
The world water crisis is one of the largest public health issues of our time. Millions of women and children spend hours every day walking miles to collect water. Nearly 11 percent of the world's population lacks access to safe drinking water. Approximately 1.6 million people die annually from unavoidably consuming polluted water. Just because we have access to water doesn't mean that we can be wasteful. Our observance of Lent this week is a call to use water more responsibly, keeping in mind the many who suffer for lack of this essential resource.
At home, we have many opportunities to reduce our water footprint by up to 25 percent. Wasting water—with leaks, long showers, letting it run unnecessarily while washing teeth or dishes, and careless landscape watering—is not only expensive, but an issue of justice as well.
Our water consumption is measured in three categories: home, agricultural, and industrial. The average American lifestyle requires nearly 2,000 gallons of water per day. Only 5 percent (100–150 gallons) passes through the kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and yard. Nearly 95 percent of water usage is hidden in the food we eat, energy we use, products we buy, and services we rely on. For example, it takes approximately 40 gallons for a bag of potato chips and a whopping 1,500 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef. Water is required to manufacture our clothing (650 gallons for a cotton T-shirt), paper (three gallons for one sheet), a pair of leather shoes (2,114 gallons), and to produce steel for one car (32,000 gallons). It's important to learn more about the water footprint of our food and manufactured goods. If each of us learned to conserve just a little more water, it could add up to big savings.
|Each person needs about twenty-one gallons of water a day for a reasonable standard of living. In the world's poorest countries, people use just 2½ gallons a day to wash, clean and cook. In the United States, the typical lifestyle requires 100–150 gallons per day in home usage. On average, it takes: two to six gallons per minute for a shower; ten to thirty-five gallons for a full load in the washing machine; two to five gallons per flush of the toilet; five to fifteen gallons to run the dishwasher.
This Lent we are trying to live a more just and sustainable lifestyle. Listed below are suggestions for using water in more thoughtful and conserving ways. Consider the steps you can take this week.
Kick the bottled water habit this Lent (and thereafter).
This is an easy yet effective water-choice to live more simply. In the United States, over a half billion bottles of water are bought every week—enough to circle the globe more than five times. It's a waste of energy and resources. Over 70 percent of them end up in landfills where it can take 700 years for them to decompose. Don't trash the planet. Instead, buy a reusable bottle and go to the water tap.

Where do I Start My Direct Sales when in comes to online marketing?
Starting a business can be overwhelming enough but then you have to think about where to begin online. One of the questions I am asked daily is where to begin when it comes to creating an online presence for your business. When I first started marketing my business online, I made countless mistakes. I built two websites, spend thousands of dollars, got wrong advice, got ripped off and spent many hours crying in frustration. I made a promise that I would help others not make the same mistakes that I did. I wished that there were checklists and lists and information of where to begin. I couldn't find anything at all which resulted in all those mistakes and tears. Now I will help you every step of the way.
When you first start your business, here are some of the first things that I suggest you do when you are ready to market full force.
Open an Email Account. This is one of the first things I tell every team member who joins my team. Open a separate email account that is different than your personal account. I strongly suggest Gmail. Gmail is a great choice because there is a wide variety of things you can do with it as you grow. They offer a ton of products that can be linked to your email account and it is very easy to set it up on your mobile phone even if you are using their applications.
Acquire a Domain Name. Whether you join a direct sales business or start your own home based business, having a domain for you or your business is very important when starting out online. Usually direct sales businesses will let you pay for a website and it has their own company link that you add personalization to such as http://www.wicklesselite.scentsy.us. Sometimes URLs that seem long to people make it very difficult for people to remember. You want a URL that people will associate you with. Something easy to remember. Instead the one listed above now links to www.Wicklesselite.com. Much easier to remember. When searching for a URL to purchase, I suggest using Go Daddy. You can check out the link to Go Daddy on our Resources tab.
Next You will need to acquire Web Hosting. Web hosting is a service you will need to purchase and it will allow you site to become LIVE on the web. Web hosting is a must have. It allows you to have complete control over the content of your website. If you do not purchase web hosting, then any content you provide on the website will be owned by the free sites that you use. When you use free sites, they have the ability to shut your site down at any time.
Social Media sites are next. First let's set up a Facebook Fan Page. You must have a personal Facebook page to set up a Fan page for you business. Having a fan page to promote your site or blog is something that everyone who has a business must have. It allows you to market your business, your content and shows credibility. Setting up a Facebook fan page is easy. You can click on this link to get started. http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php
Next Let's Do Twitter. Twitter is the little hidden secret in Direct Sales. So many consultants have a Twitter account but refuse to use it claiming that they don't understand how it works. Twitter is the best way to meet new people, gain new connections and in turn drive new customers to your site and Facebook Fan page. It is an incredible communication tool. Simply go to Twitter.com and set up a new account using your new Gmail address.
Linked in is Next. Most people have a personal linked in account but do not realize that they can and should create a Linkedin Company page. Click on companies in the linked in tool bar once you log in and create a page for you business. This is another way to create your online presence.
Set up Google +. Google + is an incredible way to boost your online activity. You can set it up using your Gmail accounts. Now this platform may not be as popular as the others we have listed but being affiliated with Google, it is a great way of getting your business noticed.
Some Extras. Some other tasks that I always suggest new business owners to start with are Pinterest & Instagram. I know this list can be overwhelming when you first start. Once all this is done, you can start customizing everything. Don't worry about that at first. Let's just focus on getting everything set up. There are plenty of people who you can hire to do customization piece by piece. We have a list of referrals and you can also ask us about our Social Super Group where there are tons of people who will help you with graphics and customization.

A translation memory is a key aspect of every CAT tool. If you are not familiar with the translation memory concept, please read our Translation Memory article first.
There are three ways to create a translation memory in Memsource:
- The first way to create a TM is directly from the panel menu. Click the plus (+) icon next to Translation Memories on the left side of the screen.
- You can also create a new TM directly from the Translation Memories page. Do this by clicking on the button Translation Memories on the left side of the screen and clicking New at the top of the next page.
- The third way to create a TM is directly from the project itself. To do this, open the project, scroll down to the Translation Memories section, and click on Create New. Using this method, the project's languages will be pre-selected in the new TM window, and the TM will be automatically assigned to that project.
Using any of the methods above will open the New Translation Memory page. Here, you will fill out the following mandatory fields:
- Give your new translation memory a name. Remember that you will be able to use it for other projects later on as well, so it does not have to be specific to just one project.
Source Language
- The source language is the original language of your document. Only one source language can be selected per translation memory. If you used method 3 as noted above, this will already be filled out for you.
Target Language
- A target language is a language that you will be translating into. There can be an unlimited number of target languages in a translation memory. Again, if you used method 3, this will already be filled out.
Please note that while a TM can have multiple languages, a maximum of 10-15 languages is recommended. Less than 30 languages are still manageable, but more than 50 languages will cause the TM to become very slow and very hard to work with.
- A target language is a language that you will be translating into. There can be an unlimited number of target languages in a translation memory. Again, if you used method 3, this will already be filled out.
You can also fill out the following fields as needed (if applicable):
- Client
- Business Unit
- Domain
- Subdomain
- Note
Click Create, and your translation memory is now complete.
You can import a TMX from another CAT tool (or a special Excel file) into your Memsource TM. You can also align previously translated text with its original version and import it into your Memsource TM.
If you haven't done so already, don't forget to assign this memory to a Memsource project.

Divorce in Japan
The first thing that you must confirm is whether the courts in your country have jurisdiction over your possible divorce case.
If they do, it would be much easier for you to get through the procedure in your country than in Japan.
Please also confirm whether the rulings of the courts in your country are effective in Japan, too.
Please note that some courts denied the effectiveness of rulings by the US courts because the service didn't abide by the Japanese Civil Procedure Act.
On the contrary, the Japanese Family Courts are likely to have a jurisdiction if a respondent lives in Japan. And, the Japanese laws are applicable if either you or your spouse is a Japanese citizen.
Under the Japanese Civil Code, married couples can get divorced either by mutual agreement (Kyogi-Rikon) or through court procedures.
However, since many countries admit only court-involved divorce as official one, we recommend international couples to get divorced through court conciliation procedure, so called Rikon-Choutei, even if you and your spouse have virtually reached an agreement on divorce.
In the conciliation, couples discuss and decide many things including;
- parental authority (parental rights and duties over their children)
- child support
- visitation
- asset division
While parental authority is exercised jointly by both parents during their marriage, it shall be exercised only by either one of them after divorce. Therefore, parents should decide which one takes this authority.
If you fail to reach an agreement on divorce in the conciliation procedure, you are supposed to file a divorce suit with a family court.

Dit vak wordt in het Engels aangeboden. Omschrijvingen kunnen daardoor mogelijk alleen in het Engels worden weergegeven.
Doel vakUnderstanding the fundamentals and limitations of the application of
reflection seismic to describe geology in the subsurface at depths of
200 m - 6 km.
This includes,
- Seismic Sequence Stratigraphic interpretation
- Seismic Stuctural interpretation
- Seismic Acquisition and processing principles and potential problem
- Calibration with petrophysical information/synthetic seismogrammes and
potential problems
- Time Depth Conversion methods
- Modern Techniques, Volume interpretation, Use of Special Attributes
- Examples/Special Case studies (4D time lapse, use of Seismic
In an extensive workstation Exercise (A/B), the theory will be applied
to a real 3D dataset, using an industry interpretation software package.
The Exercise part of the course is done by Teams. Teamwork is essential
in this type of work and will also be gauged during the assessment.
Inhoud vakThis Course is part of the Lecture Stream "Subsurface Resourcing" which
contains a series of elective courses that prepares for activities in
the subsurface (geothermal, CO2 sequestration, hydrocarbon exploration
and production). Many examples of successful techniques, originally
developed for the oil and gas industry, need also to be applied
elsewhere in order to achieve safe and accurate operations.
Assuming a basic knowledge of the principles of reflection seismology,
this course provides a modular programme with hands-on experience on
interpreting seismic 3D data and integrating data from well logs,
principles and interpretation of reflection seismic data and geology.
Special attention will be paid to pitfalls in data acquisition,
processing and interpretation. During the course standard methodologies
will be applied used in the industry.
The course consists of:
- Introduction to seismology. The introduction will cover the
technical and methodological principles of reflection seismology.
Special emphasis will be on the recognition of processing errors and
distinguishing them from geological information contained in the seismic
- Structural interpretation. Students will learn how to interpret
basic geological features, such as strata relationships, faults and
folds as well as the reliability of seismic interpretation at various
- Seismic Sequence Stratigraphy entails the extraction of
stratigraphic, sedimentological and basin evolution information from
seismic data. This information can be used in exploration and basin
analysis to derive regional analysis of sedimentary basin-fills in order
to construct models for gross lithology prediction (Students should
review the principles of sequence stratigraphy, acquired during their
BSc courses);
- Interpretation on workstation. Students work on a case study using
standard workstation methodologies and learn how to handle, visualize
and interpret 2D and 3D seismic data using a standard industrial
software package;
- Advanced seismic interpretation This section will show examples
of recently developed techniques in 3D seismic information analysis.
OnderwijsvormThe course uses two different methods:
- Oral lessons, where the lecturer presents various topics. Students
must be aware that the content of this course is difficult to find in
textbooks. Therefore, understanding the handouts is essential.
Attendance to all oral lessons is compulsory. The exam will test the
theoretical knowledge and contributes 50% to the final score.
- Practical Exercise A/B. The practicals are done in Teams. Attendance
of the practicals is compulsory. By the end of the course, students
present the team results in an oral presentation as well as in a report.
The results from the presentation and report contribute the remaining
50% to the final score.
ToetsvormThe final mark is made up by 50% from the results of the exam which will
cover the topics presented during course. The Report on the practical
exercises (A/B) should be handed in at the end of the course. Together
with the oral presentation, it contributes another 50 % to the final
result. Reports must be handed in immediately before or after the oral
LiteratuurAll materials will be digitally provided through Canvas.

It may seem like celebrities have sources of income that never run dry, but actors and musicians usually hold more than one job at a time to make a living. Some of these celebrities have even used their entertainment profits to start other businesses that have earned them more riches than they started with!
Scarlett Johansson – Gourmet Popcorn Vendor
Obviously, Scarlett Johansson has made enough money from her films to live off of, but growing up she wasn't as fortunate. Her upbringing helped inspire Johansson to strive to new endeavors, which included opening a gourmet popcorn shop in Paris, France called Yummy Pop. The popcorn shop boasts flavors like salted caramel and Nutella.

The call to action when you are out trying to attract and date women is usually the phone number…
But most guys screw this up by saying – Can I have your number?
They also screw this up because they say it way too early and with absolutely no authority at all. What they effectively do is hand over whatever authority they had and give all the power to the women to decide.
Not only does this ruin your image but they now have to say yes or no. It should never have to come down to them saying either yes or no.
David D mentions over at
that it is a great idea to skip this whole dated phone number thinking and actually ask for their email instead. Now this is a great idea because everyone has email and most people check email regularly.
Using email for dating is slightly more low key and women feel a lot more comfortable giving out this than there personal number.
A great extension of this email approach rather than asking a women for her phone number is to simple say – Are you on facebook? Most people have facebook accounts which makes getting in contact with people very easy. This is also a great way to break the ice and not kill your chances with her early by going straight for the throat and asking for her number.
You can always ask for her number once she has added you to her friends list – or give her your number in an email…
Hey… You might remember me from last night
I'm pretty busy this week but give me a call later in the week and we can catch up
#ph number
This low key approach does a number of things…
You have assumed the sale – You have used authority to assume that she is interested and have not given her the chance to say no. This confidence stimulate attraction in women.
The Ball Is Now In Her Court (not literally 😉 ) – the pressure is now on her to respond and make the call. If she doesn't it's not loss for you it was only a 2 minute email out of your time. However it's very likely that she will respond and you
will have her number and your first date – all effortlessly executed with no pressure and no let downs.
So when you are out and you feel the pressure to take things further with women do not feel as though it should be a "big move". You don't need any special "close" or "frame control", simply ask if she is online anywhere/ fb/myspace/twitter/email and then go from their.
She will feel much more respected as a women at you not diving in. Women like time to talk with their friends about you before they decide they want to take things further.
Going for the phone number straight away could put the fire out before it had a chance to really burn hot.
Try email instead of phone number dating… You will be surprised at the response.
How To Get Her Phone Number Using Email

#19 – Dreamer's Pool, by Juliet Marillier
- Read: 1/23/18 – 2/2/18
- Challenge: Mount TBR (18/150)
- Rating: 3/5 stars
I loved everything about this story except for the central plot.
Weird, right? But I loved the three POV characters. Grim is the BEST, Blackthorn is prickly but interesting, and Prince Oran is the kind of bookish, tender-hearted nerd I can't get enough of.
But the "mystery" of Flidais' true identity…I had figured out she wasn't who she said she was almost immediately, and the revelation of where Flidais' spirit truly was, later but not as late as the main characters figured it out.
So the story felt incredibly repetitive to me, as each one of them figured out some piece of the puzzle I'd long since solved. If the book could have been fifty or sixty pages shorter and weeded out a lot of the POV character sharing information with each other that the reader had already heard (sometimes more than once,) I would have liked this a lot better.
While I don't think it's as good as even my least favorite of the Sevenwaters series, I do plan to keep going with this series, because did I mention Grim is THE BEST AND I LOVE HIM.
#20 – Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body, by Neil Shubin
- Read: 2/2/18 – 2/5/18
- Challenge: Mount TBR (19/150); PopSugar Reading Challenge; Expand Your Horizons — Nonfiction
- Task: A book with an animal in the title
- Rating: 3/5 stars
I enjoyed this for its broadly inter-disciplinary look at the evolutionary physiology of the human body. I was already familiar with many of the developmental genetics discoveries cited in the text– in fact, since a few of them occurred during my college years, I was reading the articles on them as they were published–but I learned a great deal about paleontology and comparative physiology.
That being said, the tone of this was all over the place. Sometimes it seemed like it was trying to be a textbook, all dry and precise, and other times it was filled with personal anecdotes and dad-joke-level humor that didn't amuse me at all. The science itself was mostly watered down to the level palatable to a layperson, which frustrated me at times with my strong science background, but I understand this is for the masses and not the specialists, or former specialists.
My other frustration was that the host of diseases and complications that have resulted from our incredibly patchwork design was relegated to an incredibly brief end chapter, when to me, that's one of the more interesting things about the human body. But that's a criticism quite personal to me.
On the whole, it's a good read for anyone who wants to know why we are the way we are.
#21 – Wintergirls, by Laurie Halse Anderson

Self-Destruction: A Portrait of Severe Mental Illness
I can applaud this book for treating anorexia seriously as an illness, not glossing over the worst of its struggles with the tired variations on the platitude "Just eat more." Lia knows she should, and yet she can't.
I admit, I wondered how seriously, at first, to take Cassie's appearances as a ghost, but as the book progressed I understood it's a sign of Lia's deteriorating condition, because a starving brain does weird things.
But the writing style is tiresome, with the heavy symbolic repetition of numbers, the use of small text and strike-through. And Lia's illness causes her to act in ways that make her an incredibly unlikable narrator–I don't know how much I'm supposed to care about someone who cares about no one, not even herself. I can't really come up with any reason I should feel for her plight beyond basic human decency. Which I hope I have, obviously, but Lia's just not interesting herself, with no investment in anything beyond her calorie counting and self-denial. She spends the whole book actively wanting to be thinner/more sick, only to have the revelation as she's dying that she actually wants to live.
But what for? I don't mean that callously, but honestly. She doesn't have friends, she can't stand her family (with the possible exception of her little stepsister, but even her, Lia only seems to tolerate,) and she isn't looking forward to any kind of future. Her hobbies don't consume much of her time or interest–she doesn't decide to live because she wants to knit another sweater or read the next Gaiman book. (The author name-dropping did start to irritate me before the end.)
She's pushed away everyone who might possibly care about her and shut herself off from any possible life she could have that doesn't revolve around her illness, and while that makes for great drama, it didn't make sense to me that the Lia we followed through the whole story wouldn't just give up and allow herself to die.
Which is obviously not the point of the book, and I know that. But the book I read didn't make its positive point–hey, maybe you should actually want to live and take better care of yourself–very well.

As human beings it is in our nature to grow and change, but it is in ourselves if we let external circumstances alter us for better or for worse. As another year has come to an end, there is always that feeling of accomplishment or sometimes emptiness. Was it a productive year or a year we can't wait to be over? One thing is certain though the year has changed us.
For Mentoring International, it has been a fantastic year. To begin with, Panama has opened its doors for us, and now its youth can have the opportunity to change their future or at least change their view of their future with the help from our team of mentors. We also received the 2014 IDB Solidarity Award, which was accepted by Gerardo Arias, a member of our team who was essential in the successful establishment of the Panama program. We were also selected to present our working model at the 2014 Global Youth Economic Opportunities Summit held last October in Washington D.C.
To close the year with a happy note, we conducted two closing ceremonies in which the tangible atmosphere was hope and accomplishment. Through mentors and mentees testimonies we were able to see how the program is being a positive influence in a child's life. With our guest speakers, students were encouraged to achieve their dreams and desires as well as considering becoming entrepreneurs in the future. Success is a synonym for hard work, dedication, and passion, traits that are seen in our mentees.
2015 will be a year of changes and the ability to adapt and change is what keeps us afloat. With the help and commitment from our mentors and mentees, we have no doubt that this year will be the best one yet. El Salvador and Panama have so much potential in their youth and we have no doubt that with our Program's support our children will become the professionals they are meant to be.

I keep my breakfast light (to save room for amazing seafood!) and start with coffee
and a doughnut from Grindstone. My favorite is the cinnamon-sugar. For more daring eaters, there are inventive flavors like matcha green tea with almonds.
Must-Shop Boutique
Homenature is paradise for people who love neutrals. All of the furniture and accessories come in shades of beige, tan, and white, and are a fresh mix of beachy and modern. I never fail to leave with a few new tabletop pieces, like ceramic dinnerware or marble cutting boards.

Morning: One deep breath
Shines through soft grey morning fog
Dewdropped grass shivers
Waking birds chatter
Sweet hiccups of song echo
Among foggy trees
Coffee is brewing
Light drifts through city windows
But my quilt is warm...
Messy haired, groggy
I struggle to wake, need coffee.
Cheerful birds mock me.
Early morning dark
Daddy wakes me: come out back!
Watch raccoons steal trash
