Today, at their Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple announced an update to the MacBook Air.
The new MacBook Airs still come in 11" and 13" sizes, this time with Intel's new Haswell processors inside. That's the main upgrade here – no Retina upgrade to the display, which was the other feature some were clamoring for. Thanks in part to the move to Haswell, battery life will be extended to about 12 hours, or 9 hours with HD playback, although time will tell as to how accurate those numbers will prove to be.
Apple is also saying that the Flash memory inside these notebooks will be 45 percent faster than what was found in the previous line of MacBook Airs. The latest Wi-Fi technology, 802.11ac, will also be on-board.
The most impressive part of the refresh might be the prices – in a rarity for Apple, they're pretty reasonable. The 11" 128 GB MacBook Air is going for $1,000, with the 256 GB model going for $1,200. The 13" Air is selling for $1,100 and $1,300 for the 128 GB and 256 GB models, respectively.

text: Just now I saw a woman struggling to pay a taxi driver, get out of the taxi with a bulky package - it looked like a painting or possibly its frame - and close the cab door, all the while talking into the mobile phone that was firmly clamped to her ear. Was her call so all-fired important that she couldn't ask the other person to hold on for a minute, or even ring back? It probably took her twice as long to carry out those simple tasks as it would have normally, not to mention her rudeness to the cabbie.

It's dangerous to your career to be identified as an ID proponent.Michael Behe
"Michael J. Behe" is an American biochemist, author, and intelligent design (ID) advocate. He currently serves as professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania and as a senior fellow of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture. Behe is best known for his argument for irreducible complexity (IC), which argues that some biochemical structures are too Complexity/complex to be adequately explained by known evolution#Mechanisms/evolutionary mechanisms and are therefore more probably the result of intelligent design. Behe has testified in several court cases related to intelligent design, including the court case Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District that resulted in a ruling that intelligent design was religious in nature.
Behe's claims about the irreducible complexity of essential cell (biology)/cellular structures have been rejected by the vast majority of the scientific community,
* and his own biology department at Lehigh University published an official statement opposing Behe's views and intelligent design.If you enjoy these quotes, be sure to check out other famous scientists! More Michael Behe on Wikipedia.

Talk about bling it doesn't get much "brighter" than white ceramic with a diamond studded bezel. This "immaculate conception" is the latest offering by Girard-Perregaux as they usher out a new take on their Laureato model. Intro0ducing the "Girard Perregaux Laureato White Ceramic".
We very recently took a close look at the "Girard Perregaux Laureato Black Ceramic" (Ref#: 81010-32-631-32A) which you can read more about here. At the time we referenced how none of the other luxury horology brands with octagonal shaped timepieces had issued any ceramic version. Although this list includes such prestigious brands and models such as the: "Patek Phillipe Nautilus" or "IWC Ingenieur". Except for "Audemars Piguet" who actually released the first octagon ceramic watch in the form of their "Royal Oak" model. And it hasn't even been a year since then and Girard-Perregaux are back with this white version, plus some shining diamond embellishments. It seems ceramic keeps gaining more ground as a prime option for manufactures and consumers thanks to its scratchless qualities.
The 38mm case is made of white ceramic with a transparent sapphire exhibition case back, which allows to view the inner workings of the mechanical movement. It's been crafted with a matte finish and linear brushings matching the aesthetic lines found on the stainless-steel versions of the "Laureato". Mounted to the case is this models signature octagon-over-circle shape, which on this edition includes 56 brilliant-cut diamonds set to the bezel for a total of 0,90ct worth of bling. Topped by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that assists with water-resistance on this watch reaching up to 100 meters (330 feet).
Time is exhibited on a silver dial with a "Clou de Paris" hobnail pattern, on which lay stainless-steel applied hour index markers and a plaque on the upper with "GIRARD-PERREGAUX 1791" and another on the lower-half with "LAUREATO AUTOMATIC". A white ring circles around the dial with small black printed minute index markers, with a thicker marker for each five-minute increment. The central stainless-steel sword-shaped hands and hour index markers have a luminescent filling, for an enhanced legibility. There is also a date aperture at the 3 o'clock positon.
Girard-Perregaux Laureato White Ceramic
The "Girard-Perregaux Laureato White Ceramic" (Ref#: 81005D82A732-32A) is powered by a self-winding mechanical movement, caliber GP1800-0025 with 28 jewels, 191 components and 28,800 Vph. Embellished by a Côtes de Genève pattern with circular graining and beveling. Power reserve on this timepiece can last up to 54 hours, when fully wound.
Mounted to the watch is a white ceramic bracelet satin-brushed finish and H-shaped links with polished central links, while secured to the wrist by a white ceramic triple-blade deployment clasp. For more up to date information visit the official Girard-Perregaux website here.

Economic theory tells us that at least in the long run and under perfect competition, marginal revenue should equal marginal cost. With free entry, one should even observe that price equals costs, as profits are driven to zero. So it is puzzling when when one observes persistent deviations from this equality.
Randal Verbrugge notes that this is the case for housing rents in the United States. Now housing is a capital good with fluid markets in the US, so one should see even less deviations. Yet they exist, in part due to large fluctuations in costs. There do not appear to be opportunities for additional profits: transaction costs are high, and fluctuations are impossible to predict. So there are no arbitrage opportunities, even if arbitrage appears to be rather slow.

Paula Allen's photograph of the women who helped build a centre for rape survivors in Bukavu, eastern Congo, is a bold depiction that combines celebration and power. As the double-page lead to Katherine Viner's story on the City of Joy project in Saturday's Guardian Weekend magazine, Allen's photograph departs from much of the conventional reportage of the endemic violence against women in this conflict.
From the outset Viner's story gives the women concerned a voice through the powerful speech of 'Jeanne', and Allen's photos do the same, manifesting the importance of looking for agents not victims. As a Congolese project meeting the needs of Congolese women, the City of Joy project demonstrates that there are strong indigenous responses to the use of rape as a weapon of war. This theme and Allen's images reminded me of the cliche-challenging work of Aubrey Graham (go to Images/Beyond the Victim (DRC) on her website).
Numerous photographers have documented the war in the Congo, and many of these projects have incorporated the stories of rape victims. (For multimedia examples, see the Sydney Morning Herald project "Sexual Warfare in the DRC", Jean Chung's "Tears in the Congo" or Robin Hammond's "Rape of a Nation"). In many ways its remarkable that women who have suffered so much are so willing to speak.
Last summer Aric Mayer wrote an incisive analysis of the problems associated with the photography of sexual violence. He summarised his concerns:
The issues brought up in photographing rape survivors are complex and potentially harmful to the subjects. The ways that photography, video and film function as representative media, and the economies and markets within which they are funded, produced, distributed, achieve recognition and ultimately widespread public exposure can mirror in some ways the trauma of sexual violence.
The possibilities for increasing the trauma are significant. There is the imposition of another person's vision upon one's personage, the loss of control over one's likeness, the potential for permanent and public association with one's trauma, the problem of consent when one is asked for it by someone in a position of power, and the commodification of one's own suffering.
The dilemma here is that the normal photographic strategies for "giving an issue a face" can lead to a perpetuation of the original trauma. As Aric concludes:
Publishing names, faces and stories increases the overall reader/viewer engagement with the story. Therefore media pressure will frequently be in the direction of increased disclosure. It also permanently associates a survivor with their trauma in a world where the internet is increasingly available.
Despite the many stories of rape victims already produced, new work is planned. One example is the "Besieged" project that is pitching for crowd-funded support on Emphas.is. A collaboration between Sarah Elliott, Benedicte Kurzen, Ying Ang, and Agnes Dherbeys, they "have come together for this project to remind the world about the horrors of systematic rape in Eastern Congo." I am not arguing for or against support for their project, though I have reservations about the assumptions linking visibility to political action that are behind the pitch. In a comment on the Emphas.is blog back in January, I suggested they take heed of Aric Mayer's analysis, and Benedicte replied positively to this suggestion. However, that doesn't seem to have had an impact on their public call, which details how they intend to construct "a large-scale PORTRAIT INSTALLATION of as many of the women, men and children raped over a 4-day period in Walikale of the Democratic Republic of Congo, as possible."
While I can't fault either the commitment or the desire of the "Besieged" partners to do something productive, are more portraits of rape victims – including children – the best way to go? They do outline other dimensions to the project, but pictures of victims are at its core. What if the "representation of the humanity of these people" paradoxically mirrors the trauma of sexual violence? Might not an emphasis on the agency of victims, as in the photographs of Paula Allen and Aubrey Graham, be a more accurate and engaging visual strategy?

AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB) January 26, 2017
Americans will head for the hills for vacation in 2017, driving longer distances to spend more time at increasingly private accommodations. Such (in a nutshell) are findings highlighted in the first-ever HomeAway® 2017 Trend Report, which uncovers emerging vacation trends via data from independent research and the world leader in vacation rentals.
Among the report's surprises are off-the-beaten-path locales where demand for home rentals is growing fastest, with mountain towns like Hurricane, Utah; Sautee Nacoochee, Georgia; and Cleveland, Georgia, in the top five, along with smaller cities like Waco, Texas.
Other key trends identified in the report include:
- Privacy rules: A mere 11 percent of travelers would consider renting a shared space as their top vacation choice.
- Longer hauls: Increasingly adventurous Americans are traveling farther to their destinations; the average distance traveled from origin to a home rented on HomeAway jumped by 15 percent, from 533 miles in 2015 to 611 miles in 2016.
- Longer stays: We are making our time away count; the number of days spent in vacation homes rented on HomeAway skyrocketed by 27 percent during 2016.
- More family-minded millennials: Often typecast as explorers, 68 percent of millennials cite family time as the most important part of their vacations.
Addressing the surprise up-and-coming destinations, Karen Fuller, HomeAway senior director of global market research, said, "We are seeing a kind of 'HomeAway Effect' taking hold. The growth in vacation home rental availability in places where hotels simply don't exist, or can't satisfy demand, is starting to shape where and how travelers are vacationing in the U.S."
Fuller said the growing popularity of mountainous destinations is especially intriguing. A recent study by HomeAway and the University of Texas at Austin found mountain vacations to be more memorable than trips to other kinds to destinations.

The Gospel of Luke: The Power of Prayer (IV) (Luke 11:1-4)Pastor Wayne Christensen, March 15, 2020
Part of the Luke series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
About Pastor Wayne Christensen: Senior Pastor
Luke 11:1-4
1And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. 2And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3Give us day by day our daily bread. 4And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. (KJV)

Spouses can file for divorce in Florida if at least one of them is a state resident. One spouse must file a complaint in the circuit court located in the county of residence. The complaint must contain the grounds for divorce, one of which is abandonment, also called desertion. The complaint is served on the other spouse, who will have 30 days to submit an answer (60 days if he lives outside the state).
There are two types of abandonment or desertion in Florida: constructive and actual. The spouse filing for divorce on abandonment grounds must establish three elements. First, the spouse who left must have done so "willfully and maliciously." This means that the separation cannot be a voluntary agreement between both spouses. Next, the abandonment must continue for 12 uninterrupted months before the abandoned spouse can file for divorce. Lastly, the marriage must be "beyond any reasonable expectation of reconciliation."
Constructive Abandonment
Constructive abandonment can occur when a spouse does not leave the marital residence. The most common element of constructive abandonment is one spouse's willful withholding of sex. If the one spouse continuously denies sex to the other and fails to perform other marital responsibilities in the home, the other spouse can seek a divorce on constructive abandonment grounds.
Cruel treatment, including physical or mental abuse, can constitute abandonment as well. A spouse who behaves in a way that endangers the other spouse's healthy and safety is considered to have left the marriage, the main element of constructive abandonment.
Read More: Divorce Abandonment Law
Actual Abandonment
A spouse commits actual abandonment or desertion when she packs up all of her personal belongings and leaves the marital home. The abandonment must be voluntary, meaning the other spouse cannot have told the deserting spouse to leave. Additionally, the deserting spouse cannot intend to return to the marital residence.
If the deserting spouse returns with good faith intentions of reconciliation, the clock for the 12 month waiting period stops and one of two things will happen. The abandoned spouse can forgive the deserter and the spouses can begin to repair their relationship. Or, if the abandoned spouse refuses to reconcile, the abandonment waiting period begins again and the deserter will be able to seek a divorce on abandonment grounds 12 months from the failed reconciliation.
Marital misconduct like abandonment will be considered when a court issues an alimony award. If the spouse owing alimony is guilty of abandonment, the court may increase the award as punishment. In the alternative, an award can be lowered if the guilty spouse is the one seeking alimony.

Beth Ames Swartz stands alongside one of her large-scale paintings, layered thick with blue, green, pink, and yellow paint. It's anchored near its center by a heart. "I finished this the night my mother died," the Paradise Valley artist tells gallery-goers. "It's called The Angel of Deliverance."
It's late October 2016, and Swartz is talking with people who've come for the opening reception or her retrospective exhibition titled "Tikkun Olam: Repairing the World." Curated by Robrt Pela of R. Pela Contemporary Art (who is also a longtime New Times contributor), the show features work in various media from the artist's prolific career spanning more than five decades.
The exhibition continues through January 27 at the Arizona Jewish Historical Society.
For every piece in the show, there's a story. And Swartz loves to share them – sometimes through personal anecdotes, and often through detailed text panels that set her works in context. There's the trip she made down the Colorado River, and the time spent in Israel. Each informed her artwork, but none can truly define her – because Swartz's art practice is ever-evolving.
Typically, Swartz creates works in series – making 30 or 40 pieces that share common themes, influences, or materials before moving on to a different approach. "I get an idea or concept, then work with it until I fully know how to do it."
Often her pieces are inspired by systems of knowledge, such as the Jewish mystical tradition called Cabala, or by other cultures. But sometimes they stem from the complexities of family life. Works featured in "Tikkun Olam" have a common through line: the recurring cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
Exploring "Tikkun Olam: Repairing the World" alongside Swartz, it's clear that something far deeper than an artist-led tour is taking place. As Swartz walks people through rooms that reflect various stages in her career, she's revealing something of her own interior life and the vast landscape that surrounds her.
Born into a family she calls "very intellectual and right-brained," Swartz was something of an anomaly. "I'm the one with feelings," Swartz says. "I painted to deal with unfinished business."
As a child, Swartz poked out the eyes of a doll, prompting her mother to buy her a paint set. She's been making art ever since – teaching herself to work in several different media, and earning a master's of arts. She's worked with some unconventional material over the years, including fire.
Swartz's work has been featured in more than 80 exhibitions, at venues including the Phoenix Art Museum and the Jewish Museum in New York. Her work fills three art books, and she's the subject of a 30-minute documentary called Beth Ames Swartz: Reminders of Invisible Light, which takes its name from a beloved T.S. Eliot poem.
Nearly 81 years old, Swartz is still painting and doing mixed-media works in the art studio located near the entrance to her home, where a piece referencing the Holocaust and her Jewish heritage hangs from the ceiling near the chair where she reads and sips green tea.
For Swartz, healing the world requires not only creativity, but also connection.
She enjoys supporting other artists, and finding new ways to make an impact the local arts scene. Doing the "Tikkun Olam" show is her way of helping the Arizona Jewish Historical Society to ramp up its gallery offerings and participate in First and Third Friday art walks.

About 15 years ago, Swartz and fellow artist Jon Haddock started something called the Breakfast Club, comprising regular gatherings where artists share ideas and support. Seventy artists and arts professionals are signed up to attend a Community Conversation she's presenting January 27 at the Arizona Jewish Historical Society, where they'll discuss shared challenges, goals, and strategies.
She's hoping to summarize and share key points discussed there, prompting future conversations and practical solutions for the local arts community.
"Tikkun Olam" continues through January 27 at the Arizona Jewish Historical Society, where the gallery is open on First and Third Fridays, as well as noon to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday.

I can imagine one of the main reasons people choose jAlbum over simpler solutions is the wide choice of interaction possibilities the skins offer. For instance Turtle skin has offered a so-called feedback tool, through which visitors could have left feedback. When I made the new Tiger skin, my goal was to offer nearly the same functionality as Turtle did. There were some exclusions though, like the aforementioned feedback tool. The reason why Tiger did not offer this from the start was that I always planned to renew it. Passing a big chunk of data to the email client is impossible because of operating systems limitations. Probably this is due to security reasons, as the mechanism is the same as opening a normal web link. And once a link is longer than 2048 characters it might get suspicious.
Finally I gave in to user requests, and implemented this feature in Tiger too. Once I was there, I tried to make it better too. The new tool is based on a template, so you can customize the user experience widely. By default the tool offers commenting on the album and on selected photos, but you can easily tweak it to let visitors order photos too. There are a lot of users who would like to avoid PayPal as the only payment method. I can see the point. PayPal is not present in every country, they have a margin, and have some crazy restrictions you might not want to undertake.
With this new kiosk mode you can collect orders through email, and manage the payment by yourself. Be aware though this little tool not nearly as sophisticated as the PayPal cart. No calculations, no discount coupons, no shipping cost, and so on. It's just the barebones, still can be sufficient for simpler tasks. In the future the possibility of sending mails through the server's
mail() function might also be added.
One another field it excels Turtle is that it can be configured to provide machine-readable output. It needs some coding knowledge – I admit – but by using this option you can automate the ordering process. Just read the email as a javascript variable, and you can decode the form with the
stringify() method right away.
The limitation in sending large amount of data has also been circumvented by offering the user to copy / paste the data manually to the email client if the data is too big for the OS to pass.
Sample albums
1. Feedback
This album was made with the default Feedback options (see
Settings → Tiger → Sections → Feedback). I've only added my email address and added instructions both in the "box" and for the popup window.
2. Kiosk
This other album was made with a customized "Feedback template" (see
Settings → Tiger → Sections → Feedback → Feedback template in order to offer size and quantity boxes. Here's the code I used:
 <form class="inline"> <select name="type"> <option name="9x13">9×13 cm (€ 0.2)</option> <option name="10x15">10×15 cm (€ 0.3)</option> <option name="15x21">15×21 cm (€ 0.5)</option> <option name="21x30">21×30 cm (€ 1)</option> <option name="A1">A1 poster (€ 10)</option> <option name="download">Download (€ 5)</option> </select> <input type="number" name="copies" min="1" max="50" value="1" title="Copies (max. 50)" /> </form>

 <form name="address"> Name <input name="name" type="text" placeholder="Your name"/> Street address <input name="street" type="text" placeholder="Street address"/> City <input name="city" type="text" placeholder="City" /> Post code <input name="postcode" type="text" /> Country <input name="country" type="text" placeholder="Country" /> </form>

As you might have noticed, there are two special delimiter lines (marked in red). Their purpose is to mark the repeating code that should be attached to every selected item. The code part before
 will appear above the items, meanwhile the code after
 will be placed below them. Only the contents of the
<textarea> and
<select> fields will be sent, so you can add labels, comments – those will not get into the email – only the user input. (Naturally, the file name and path will also be sent, so you can easily identify the photo.) You can also add hidden input elements if you need some special info, e.g.
<input name="filesize" type="hidden" value="${fileSize}">. As you can see the skin can process image variables too.
I hope you'll find this little tool useful. If you have any questions, please let me know in the skin's forum – we're glad to help!

(NYSE: WPI) today confirmed that its subsidiary, Watson Laboratories, Inc., filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking approval to market Nebivolol Hydrochloride Tablets, 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg and 20 mg. Watson's ANDA product is a generic version of Forest Laboratories' BYSTOLIC®, which is a beta-adrenergic blocking agent that is approved for the treatment of hypertension.

The Undercut
This look is hardly new though we might have reached the peak of undercut a few years ago. It was actually "popular during the 1920s through the 1940s, and fast forward to now. Generally, it involves shaving or keeping the sides and back super short, growing the hair long on top of the head, then pushing it back off the face.
The undercut detail usually is mixed with slick back or pompadour.
This is the style for the dapper dude who wants to shave his head, but also have long hair. It's like having the best of both worlds.
The Long and Loose
Long hair stands for the rebellious man who is both sexy and strong just like Tarzan or Jared Leto. It's usually worn by artists, rock stars – basically any man not behind the desk.
This haircut needs to be luscious and tidy so you should focus on conditioning to build strength and maybe shampoo just few times a week.
The Fade
Fades simply refer to short cuts that are cut close to the sides and back with the very skilled ability of using clipper to gradually fade or taper into the hair on the top of your head. Fading also is a technique which specify barbers and hairstylists at hair salons. Being a fade lover can reveal to the world that you're a dependable guy who always wants to look neat and tidy.
The PompadourThis iconic haircut has its deep historical roots, and believe it or not, was inspired by a woman: Madame de Pompadour, the mistress of King Louis XV. Up until the 1950s, Elvis Presley helped this style to make its return and today, it remains a popular choice of creative, risk-taking guys everywhere.
The guys who wear this definitely care about their looks, and are always the center of attention.
Side PartAs one of the safest hairstyles for men, this one has managed to stay in the mainstream since 1940s. The focal point of this cut is the part line, which separates the hair into two parts. It can be worn by young boys, students or even professors.
All you need to take care of is which side you want to part your hair and how long you want on your sides and top. People would think about you as a "work hard – play hard" guy with your "well-cared" Side Part.
Buzzcut All of the hair is cut very close to the scalp, that's how we do the Buzzcut. Super easy and active, that's why many athletes love this hairstyle, which is also an awesome option to cover up thinning hair.
One thing to consider: Your head shape and facial features (for example: if you had an uneven skull or big ears) could be exposed by this cut. It can draw some unwanted attentions to those parts and therefore makes you a bit less confident.

One day Jesus said to his disciples, 'Let's cross to the other side of the lake.' So they got into a boat and started out. As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap." (Luke 8:22-23 NLT)
Hope International President Peter Greer is sounding an alarm about a different danger in doing good: spiritual burnout. In a cbn.com interview, he shared his belief as to the high drop out rate of Christian workers worldwide. "We have thrown ourselves into causes of social justice," he said. "We have thrown ourselves into missions and we have been burned out as a result."
Where there is high stress and output without regenerating input, things get dangerous. While this scripture stands out for Jesus calming the storm, learn the first lesson first: Jesus calmed Himself with an opportunity for rest. He knew to replenish His own needs before taking on more loads.
As you prepare to come to Church tomorrow, take time to rest. For some of us that don't get Sunday off due to Church work, take time today for rest and refueling. There will ALWAYS be work that needs to be done to save the world. But if you don't take care of yourself, you risk becoming a sidelined piece of damaged goods instead of God's powerful hand to mankind! You are loved today! Get some rest!

This Blogger Neighbor Doesn't Clown Around about 52 Ways to Change the World
Or does she? 17 year old Julie Zauzmer is more than you're average high schooler, and she's more than your average clown. She's working to change the world one way at a time, and hoping to inspire you to do the same. Enjoy!
Note: Soon, a badge will be available for past and future Blogger Neighbors to place on their site if they choose, so stayed tuned for updates. =)
Blog/Site Name: 52 Ways to Change the World!
Blog Topics: I feature one quick, fun, and easy way to bring charity into your daily life on each episode of my weekly podcast, 52 Ways to Change the World!
About the Author: Julie Zauzmer is a seventeen-year-old high schooler who lives in Pennsylvania. Along with community service, she loves reading, writing, and languages, and she hopes to be a writer someday. Her podcast, 52 Ways to Change the World!, has currently been downloaded over 1,600 times, both from her website, http://www.52ways.org, and from iTunes.
If you could live on any street, what would that street be named and why?
Family Drive. My brother and sister are really my best friends, and I hope that we will all live near each other when we grow up.
Who would be your dream real-life neighbor?
I would love to meet one of my favorite authors in person someday. Some of my favorite living authors are Andrew Clements, Dan Brown, Jodi Picoult, and Susan Vreeland. Other favorites include L. M. Montgomery, Jane Austen, and Leon Uris.
If you were in charge of the planning the neighborhood's block party, what entertainment would you plan?
I am a volunteer clown, so perhaps I would entertain guests by making balloon animals! I would also include a charitable element to the party. For example, I might set up a table with postcards and markers where kids could create cards for children in hospitals. My podcast features ideas like these — you can make charity a fun and easy part of just about any daily activity!

What first prompted you to blog?
I first came up with the idea for 52 Ways! when I learned about the website Goodsearch.com. It's a search engine like Yahoo! or Google, but it donates to the charity of your choice every time you search. I thought this was amazing, so I sent a Facebook message to about 100 friends telling them about this website. I was thrilled when several of my friends started using Goodsearch! This made me start thinking about other ways to use modern media to promote charity, and I realized that I had a lot of other ideas for "ways to change the world" that I wanted to share. Therefore, I decided to create 52 Ways! beginning in January 2008.
If you customized your own license plate, what would it say and why?
ZIPPY. That's my clown name! Being a clown is one of my favorite unique ways that I help others. With Clowns 'R' Us, the clown organization that I am a member of, I visit nursing homes to cheer up the residents and volunteer as a clown at charitable events for many organizations.
What would you gift to a new neighbor as the perfect welcoming gift?
I would bake cookies for them.
What's your favorite blog post and why?
So far, I have especially liked the episodes "Helping the Homeless," "A Good Yarn," and "A Gift From the Heart" because these episodes feature some of my favorite ideas that I really hope people will use in their daily lives; "Bowled Over" and "Shop 'Til You Drop!" because these episodes feature some of my most creative ideas; and "A Talent for Helping Others" and "Let the Games Begin" because these episodes include a more personal touch and some humor.
What's one lesson you've learned from blogging?
There are always more ways to make a difference! When I first thought of the idea for 52 Ways!, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to come up with 52 ideas for changing the world, one for each week of the year. However, when I sat down to make a list of possible episode topics, I came up with 20 or 30 off the top of my head! I am constantly looking for more ideas for the show. As I create each episode, I always come across topics in my research that give me more ideas. Also, at the end of each episode, I ask my listeners to send me their ideas. Right now, I have 75 ideas on my list of possible episode topics! I have learned that there is an inexhaustible supply of "ways to change the world."

lcsh.info Gone
Some sad news. "On December 18th I was asked to shut off lcsh.info by the Library of Congress. As an LC employee I really did not have much choice other than to comply." This has been posted everywhere else, but deserves the widest exposure, so I'm posting here as well.

The fabulous You Be My Heart compilation, which we featured last November and which was released in December, is an extended love affair with the nonprofit 826 National, which is dedicated to offering "a variety of inventive programs that provide under-resourced students, ages 6-18, with opportunities to explore their creativity and improve their writing skills."
San Francisco songwriter Devon Reed, who volunteers with 826, wrote all the songs which were presented to the bands, who each selected one that called to them and in turn gave it their own unique twist. The result is a compilation featuring a who's who in the indie rock scene with artists such as Bowerbirds, The Cloud Room, Maps & Atlases, and Mark Kozelek all participating to support the nonprofit's aim.
The latest track to be shared is from Horse Feathers and is simply brilliant.

NASA Announces Asteroid Grand Challenge, NASA
"NASA announced Tuesday a Grand Challenge focused on finding all asteroid threats to human populations and knowing what to do about them. The challenge is a large-scale effort that will use multi-disciplinary collaborations and a variety of partnerships with other government agencies, international partners, industry, academia, and citizen scientists. It complements NASA's recently announced mission to redirect an asteroid and send humans to study it."
"NASA also released a request for information (RFI) that invites industry and potential partners to offer ideas on accomplishing NASA's goal to locate, redirect, and explore an asteroid, as well as find and plan for asteroid threats. The RFI is open for 30 days, and responses will be used to help develop public engagement opportunities and a September industry workshop."

Women who become pregnant at age 40 or older face a greater risk of stroke and heart attack later in life than women who become pregnant at a younger age, according to research presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2016.
"We already knew that older women were more likely than younger women to experience health problems during their pregnancy," said Adnan I. Qureshi, M.D., lead researcher and director of the Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institute in St. Cloud, Minnesota. "Now, we know that the consequences of that later pregnancy stretch years into the future."
Qureshi added that this finding was especially important because more women are choosing to have children after they turn forty.
Researchers reviewed data from 72,221 women aged 50 to 79 enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative Study. Of those, 3,306 women reported pregnancies at an advanced age, and researchers compared their rates of stroke, heart attack and cardiovascular death over the next 12 years with women who were pregnant at a younger age.
Researchers found that compared to pregnancy at a younger age, pregnancies at age 40 and older increased the risk of:
- Ischemic stroke (clot caused), the most common type of stroke, from 2.4 percent to 3.8 percent;
- Hemorrhagic stroke (brain bleed), from 0.5 percent to 1 percent;
- Heart attack from 2.5 percent to 3 percent; and
- Death from all forms of cardiovascular disease from 2.3 percent to 3.9 percent.
When researchers checked for well-known risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol, they found these factors explained most of the higher risk the older pregnant women faced. However, these established risk factors did not explain the link between advanced age pregnancy and stroke caused by a brain bleed. Researchers said this link needs further research. Hemorrhagic stroke accounts for about 13 percent of all strokes, according to the American Heart Association's 2016 Statistical Update.
Qureshi also noted that the only cardiovascular risk factor that did not increase with later pregnancies in the study population was smoking. Older pregnant women were less likely to smoke than younger women.
The age of last pregnancy has not been considered a risk factor for stroke, heart attack and other cardiovascular diseases. "However, women with a late pregnancy need to be aware of their increased risk and take steps to improve their cardiovascular health," he said. "And their doctors need to remain vigilant years later in monitoring these women's risk factors through physical examination and, perhaps more tests and earlier interventions to prevent stroke and other cardiovascular events."

A civil-military tussle as old as Pakistan itself resurfaces as the government tries to assert its authority in the eyes of the public.
A newspaper story that indicated that, despite tensions, Pakistan's civil and military leadership were finally on the same page with respect to militant extremism within the country, seems to have inadvertently blown up into a full-fledged tussle between the two.
The saga began with Dawn, arguably Pakistan's most respected newspaper, publishing an account of a secret high-level meeting chaired by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. In the October 6 'exclusive' it reported – via unnamed sources present at the meeting – that the civilians had sharply questioned the head of military-controlled intelligence agency ISI about covert support to militants waging guerrilla war in Kashmir and Afghanistan. The report claimed that the ISI chief (a three star general) was particularly told how support for the militants was leading to Pakistan's diplomatic isolation.
In a country with a not-too-happy history of civil and military relations – the military has conducted three coups in Pakistan's 69 years of existence and has ruled directly for 33 of them – many are viewing the recent developments with some trepidation.
Happily, according to Dawn, the intelligence chief and the government ministers present in the meeting came to a consensus that action needed to be taken against all militants.
For keen observers of Pakistani politics, both elements of the report were positive. Not only was there consensus over direction but civilians had shown backbone in asserting their right to determine overall state policy.
So far so good.
Or so the average reader thought.
It seems the report rubbed the military the wrong way. Under pressure from the military, the government first issued a denial of the story, labeling it as "speculative", "misleading", and "an amalgamation of fiction and half-truths." Then a little later came a stronger denial from the chief minister of the largest province Punjab, calling the story "baseless" and "devoid of reality." Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif – who is also the brother of the Prime Minister – had been quoted in Dawn's report as having been the most critical of allegedly ambiguous ISI policies. Finally, after the army chief General Raheel Sharif met the PM to discuss matters, came yet another denial, calling for those who had leaked "a fabricated" and "twisted" account of the meeting and "harmed the national interest" to be identified and punished.
The same night, Dawn's assistant editor and political columnist Cyril Almeida, who had reported the story, was placed on the 'Exit Control List' (ECL) which effectively barred him from travelling abroad.
After immediate and strong denunciation of these actions from human rights groups and journalist bodies both within Pakistan and abroad, military sources tried to distance themselves from the action against Mr Almeida. They denied to the media that the military had ever asked for the reporter to be placed on the ECL, saying they simply wanted to identify those who had leaked the information from a high-level meeting.
Dawn wrote a strongly worded editorial, standing by the veracity of its report which it said had been "verified, cross-checked and fact-checked", and asking the government to remove its reporter from the ECL "to salvage some of its dignity." Journalists from across Pakistan and even arch-rival India joined in praising Dawn's stance.
As international outcry mounted, the Prime Minister claimed Mr Almeida's name had been placed on the ECL without his knowledge and ordered it to be removed. However, his own Minister of Interior refused, saying the name would stay on until the completion of an inquiry, which he said would take two or three days to complete – even though Mr Almeida and Dawn had refused to reveal their sources. Eventually the reporter's name was removed from the ECL early evening October 13.
So what exactly happened?
From all the evidence available so far, it seems Mr Almeida and Dawn became unwitting victims of the perennial attempts by civilians to assert supremacy over the powerful military and the military's reluctance to cede ground.
Given the nature of the leak, it is fairly obvious that it came from within the civilian government or those allied with it. Despite its overall positive message, the military did not take kindly to the public perception created that civilians had dared question it on national security matters, which it considers as its sole domain.
It also saw the leak as compromising secret discussions that could be used by rivals such as India to score political points. As it is, India has vowed to isolate Pakistan diplomatically after recent militant attacks in the disputed region of Kashmir and has aggressively claimed the right to hit back at Pakistan militarily. Officially admitting at the highest levels of supporting militants targeting areas under Indian control would go against Pakistan's stance of providing only diplomatic support to what it terms as the 'freedom movement in Indian-occupied Kashmir.'
Once the military pushed back forcefully, the civilian government lost the spine to own up to its own claims and decided, probably in panic, to divert attention towards the messenger – in this case Dawn and its reporter.
Civilian governments are ever-mindful of the fact that the real power lies with the army – after all, the last military rule officially ended only eight years ago. The previous government had also aborted an ill-conceived attempt to bring the ISI under civilian control after strong pushback from the army. It too had spent the rest of its tenure in an uneasy and frosty relationship with the army. Relations with India and Afghanistan strategy in particular are often considered delicate areas for the civilians to venture into. Civilian governments take them on at their own peril.
Even as Cyril Almeida's name was removed from the ECL, the army's top leadership doubled down by announcing that it remained committed to identifying those who had "breached national security" by leaking "false and fabricated" information.
Whether the leak was factually correct or exaggerated will probably not be known any time soon. But even if it were truthful, the attempt to get public credit for itself at the expense of the military has backfired for Nawaz Sharif's government. As the government is currently discovering, the military will not soon forgive and forget.

OPUS Style Lounge 2015
The OPUS Style Lounge 2015 was a phenomenal success. The fashion show was covered by most major dailies and our students had a blast and definitely underwent a lot of learning. In concept, the purpose was to expose the future design students to what Fashion School / life is all about. We had about 20 groups of 5 students, and each group was to design a line that could be featured in a real fashion show. Each group was allotted a mentor to guide them through eventualities that would be impossible for the students' to handle, else we encouraged them to have as much leeway as they needed. We put up a show with the least interference but a lot of passion and it turned out quite well

Playing Devil's Advocate in the Disruptive Orchestra of Change!
Wednesday, October 11, 2006
Looks to me like there is an orchestrated "let's slam BBC WS" on Richard Sambrook's blog at the moment. Obviously, the audience figures will be the measure as to whether BBC succeeds with its Iranian TV operation. That will be difficult to measure accurately, especially as I guess it will be between 2-4% when it starts up, depending which satellite they choose - probably Hotbird. If it is indeed "Speaking to Iran" it will be as effective as IRIB-TV "speaking to London". If it provides a dialogue, rather than a monologue, it has some chance of success.

Sociology's Sad Decline. (Society)
"Whatever Happened to Sociology?" by Peter L. Berger, in First Things (Oct. 2002), Institute on Religion and Public Life, 156 Fifth Ave., Ste. 400, New York, N.Y. 10010.
In 1963, Berger published a book called Invitation to Sociology. Still in print, it has attracted many students to the discipline over the decades. Alas, says the author, an emeritus professor of religion, sociology, and theology at Boston University, the picture he painted then of sociology "bears little relation to what goes on in it today. The relation is a bit like that of the Marxian utopia to what used to be called 'real existing socialism.'"
Sociology enjoyed "a sort of golden age" in the 1950s, he says. At Harvard University was Talcott Parsons, who, despite his "terrible prose," was erecting an imposing theoretical system that addressed the "big questions" that had preoccupied sociologists since the discipline's birth in the late 19th century--"What holds a society together? What is the relation between beliefs and institutions?" At the University of Chicago, there was "the so-called 'Chicago school' of urban sociology, which had produced a whole library of insightful empirical studies," as well as the blend of social psychology and sociology fathered by George Herbert Mead (1863-1931). At Columbia University were two powerhouses of the discipline: Robert Merton, who espoused "a more moderate version" of Parsons's "structural functionalism," and Paul Lazarsfeld, "who helped develop increasingly sophisticated quantitative methods but who never forgot the 'big questions. …

Coyotes have existed in the City of Aurora and the State of Ohio for many years. Coyotes are most visible in spring and fall, and appear more often at dawn and at dusk. They tend to be shy and avoid interaction with people but will defend their territory against intruding coyotes, foxes and dogs. Coyotes use a variety of ways to communicate with one another including howls, yelps, barks, growls and squeals, most often heard around dusk and dawn. Coyotes have an elongated snout and dark fur on their lower forelegs and travel with their bushy tail pointed down. The coyotes' diet consists of mice, rabbits, small animals, fruit and trash. If you know that coyotes are in your area you should keep pets inside at night and use a leash when you take them outside. To discourage coyotes from visiting your property you should remove food sources from yards, clean outdoor grills, accompany small children and pets outside and keep dogs on a leash. If coyotes are frequenting your property you can consider contacting a professional to have them trapped. You can also fend them off with loud noise or a garden hose sprayed in their direction.

w e l c o m e :)
I'm going to start something fun & new here on the blog.
Thursdays... well, let me say "some" Thursdays (to start), I will
post a craft, recipe, photoshop tip, etc., a
"how do i..."
"how do i..."
(a.k.a tutorial, how-to, diy)
And hopefully I will be able to do this
when i feel like it on a regular basis ;)
So without further ado...
here is the first ever Creme de la Gems Tutorial!
Chalkboard paint is the rage!
I see necklace pendants as tiny little chalk boards, antique frames with an insert of chalkboard paint, magnetic boards painted with chalkboard paint, kids rooms, chore charts, etc.,
the stuff is everywhere.
So I thought, why not paint some rocks & get Aidan involved?
Before you start, you will need:
1. Chalkboard Paint (at any craft store; we used black)
2. Paint brushes & a cup with rinsing water
3. Paper towels or Newspapers
4. Rocks.
(finding our rocks was the the best part)
(P.S., Aidan's "Rock" & Roll T-Shirt was not in the plans... ;) If only I was clever enough to come up with that on my own...)
1. Wash rocks in water. No soap needed.
2. Lay rocks out into the sun, to dry.
3. Squirt some paint directly onto rock. You may use a small dish, or cup to pour the paint into, but for me... that is just extra clean-up. And who needs extra clean-up? Not me ;)
5. Paint top & sides of rock(s).
6. Allow rocks to dry in sun & wait at least one hour, & find something to pass the time...
7. Apply a 2nd coat of paint & repeat steps 3 through 6. But this time, allow your rocks to dry longer. The paint bottle instructs you wait at least 24 hours to cure, before writing with chalk. However,
we only waited another hour :).
Let your imagination run wild...
How about a photo prop?
or a special message...
hmmm... our anniversary is tomorrow. maybe i can use these for something special... :)
They would make cute magnets!
The end.
Have fun!! And if you try this craft, please feel free to share your "Say It On a Rock With Chalk" with me
on my facebook wall.
Also, just to let you know that I have some great end of the Summer Sale items listed in my shop right now. And more Sale items to come!! So keep checking back :)

In the week of 23/05/2011, one of the largest natural disasters in Belgium in history occurred. Due to a very dry period, approximately 600 hectares of the unique heathland nature reserve Kalmthoutse Heide has been burned. Although fire can be in some cases advantageous for heathlands and is sometimes used as a maintenance procedure, it was certainly not the case here. It consisted in a very severe fire which not only burned above-ground vegetation, but also the fauna and the seed bank in the underground.
On the 25th of May 2011, EUROSENSE executed a mission over the Belgian-Dutch border and was able to acquire 25 cm imagery of the fires on the heathland in both colour (RGB) as colour infra-red. Together with the exact time stamping, this imagery can be very useful for a post-analysis of the fire by the Agency for Nature and Forestry of the Flanders region.
