Ask any random stranger if they are reasonable, and almost all will either tell you they are reasonable or at the very least will jokingly tell you they aren’t via some cliché line about how their therapist says they are. Unfortunately, I do not think any of us are as reasonable as we think we are.

An Investigation organization within the south of England has been inundated with new customers. This really is a result of a television program about infidelity and cheating partners. Within the program it gave a checklist of issues to appear out for in a cheating partner. Every new client that referred to as confesses that they had viewed this program and it had created them suspicious of their spouse.
This program has also had a knock on impact on the investigators. A lot more function indicates a lot more staff. Luckily for the investigation business they have an in-house coaching scheme and they were able to get by on the staff they already employed. Most reputable investigation organizations only hire operatives that have either come from a Police background or perhaps a Unique Forces background. If an individual decides to take up detective work you'll find qualifications accessible and a lot of advice across the board.
There does appear to be a mixed opinion about private detectives and private investigators within the UK. They are not as well-known as within the USA. In the USA they are a lot more concerning the culture of the country and there's a much more familiar feel about then than inside the UK. A lot of people that call a private detective agency or a private investigation agency within the UK have extremely rarely carried out so just before. There is the opinion that a private detective agency or a private investigation agency is observed as a romantic and practically futuristic service. Individuals think that agencies use many space age gadgets and do the impossible. Others believe that private detectives and investigators are above the law and are very at home breaking the law. In truth the job of a private investigator or a private detective is quite challenging function with Many Lengthy hours inside the dark along with the cold. Striving to stay inside the law but performing the best doable job.

So the actual possibility that Gruden or Jackson could be in play for nfl jersey sales decline visual network simulator 2 the Bengals has complicated the situations in Washington and Cleveland. It is a comparatively stress free situation for Gruden, as long as he has a contract with the Redskins that runs through 2020. it's often nice to be wanted nfl jerseys mens dallas cowboys 55 action picture cars nyc and even nicer to have guaranteed money lined up. But it all adds a bit more complexity and drama to a Redskins offseason that will not be lacking in either.

When I was a teen I loved Anne Rice and all things broody and sensuous. I embraced this persona as though I had found myself. It worked really well with angsty teen emotion and the desire to know who I was.
Recently though, I had this moment of clarity where I differentiated between defining yourself vs finding yourself. Defining yourself is external- it's a conscious act of putting on a mask to show the world who you want to be, and hopefully they'll believe what they see; finding yourself is completely internal- it hits without warning, and it's finding absolute peace and elation with who you are.
I've only recently found myself, and while it's certainly an ongoing adventure, I can honestly say that I stumbled across this new me rather than sought her out. It's genuine. There is such a zen quality to this sort of self-discovery!
And of course I'm passionate about blogging and writing for children! The notion of writing for profit elates me beyond my wildest dreams! Now that I've taken solace in who I am and what I want, I don't think it will long before my dreams become a reality!
Love it! Love your blog! Follow your dreams... Xoxo.

I am slowly regaining strength and working on musical ideas that are popping in my head. I will also be returning to live performances by 2020.

Currently, 50 million Americans suffer from acne—it’s the most common skin condition. You’re not alone if you have this condition, and you know more than anyone that it can be more than just a physical issue—but also a mental issue. Acne can cause semi-permanent or permanent skin scarring, low self-esteem, poor self-image, depression and anxiety. You may even avoid social gatherings, your loved ones, and friends. With acne dermatology in Santa Monica, you can cure this life hampering issue.
Acne dermatology in Santa Monica can change your life. But what causes acne? There are a number of different kinds of acne that acne dermatology in Santa Monica can address. Acne vulgaris or simple acne includes whiteheads, blackheads and pimples. All of these are caused by dead skin cells and oil clogging hair follicles. Genetics are believed to contribute tremendously to acne and the need for acne dermatology in Santa Monica. Comedonal acne is caused by oil and debris clogging pores and include skin colored bumps commonly found on the forehead and chin. These bumps are called comodones, also known as blackheads. Hormonal acne is often experienced by women and teenagers and is caused by hormones which trigger facial oil production. Menstral cycles can be a time in which women experience flare ups. Inflammatory acne consists of red bumps and pustules that are not whiteheads, blackheads or comedones and likely have to be treated by acne dermatology in Santa Monica. Cystic acne is not infected and is difficult to treat without professional assitance. This kind of acne can be serious and may need treatment by acne dermatology in Santa Monica.
Certain foods are likely to cause acne and the need for acne dermatology in Santa Monica. While there isn’t any definitive research proving which foods cause acne, there are a number of foods that are under suspicion of causing this condition. It’s believed that foods with high-glycemic index such as potatoes, pasta, bread, rice and desserts as well as dairy products, whey protein supplements and sweets can worsen existing acne. Overactive oil glands, medications such as corticosteroids and lithium, consuming junk food and smoking all contribute to acne.
In order to tackle the issue of acne, it’s important to address the causation. Many over the counter products will not address certain kinds of acne, such as cystic acne. You must use the right face wash, moisturizer and other products.
You could take topical or oral antibiotics as to solve your acne issue. There are medications available, such as minocycline, which addresses severe acne, doxycycline for regular acne, spironolactone which reduces oil production in the skin, oral contraceptives with estrogen which address hormonal acne and isotretinoin which comes in pill form and also addresses severe acne.
Acne dermatology in Santa Monica will cure your skin issues. Visit Batra Skincare online at www.batraskincare.com or call (310) 829-9099.

Thank you for living through fashion week with me! We made it through the first one! Yay! You might have noticed I was wearing new items and I promised you to tell more about. I do it now. This is my review for Dropship Clothes online store.
You already know the short version: I enjoyed everything about it. The clothes I received were very pretty, the quality far exceeded my expectations, size was true to what they wrote (it is often end up being too big comparing to the promises so I am even more thankful).
My first items was a dress. Very chic, very nice to touch. Sleeves are fantastic and they totally hold the form. It already went through laundry: no issues. And the sleeves are just as pretty. The skirt is on its place.
The vest. White is always a little tricky but I will manage. The hood is big enough to fit my sort of big head. It is very warm: when they it is for winter it is for real winter. It might be even an outwear during fall or spring. The buttons are made of lovely material, much like wood.
The shopping experience: pleasant. search works nicely, size charts are available for each item, many options to choose from even if you are petite.
Shipping: fast, no issues, tracking provided.
I didn't get to talk to support center because everything was super smooth.
Will I shop there for myself? Most likely 'yes'.
And if you are not convinced as of yet: there is a Big Sale going on there! Grabbing spring update to your closet with big discounts: I totally vote for it!
Hiii, I love your looks, they are so fashion!! You made a good review with this beautiful looks!

Poetry for me has many faces. It is the act of creation, etymologically (“poiein” in Greek “to make”). It is of course the more romantic notion of a beautiful instant (best described by Kundera in his famous quote—“The purpose of the poetry is not to dazzle us with an astonishing thought, but to make one moment of existence unforgettable and worthy of unbearable nostalgia.”). And it is an excuse to allow ourselves to play with words, as if they were physical matter, to push them against each other, make them fit atop each other, put them in motion together.
An emblematic work of the OuLiPo is “Cent Mille Milliards de Poèmes” by Raymond Queneau in 1961. This is a book composed of 10 sonnets, each 14 verses long, written on 10 successive pages, where each verse is cut so as to make it possible to combine all the poems from all the pages together in any way, resulting in 10 to the 14 poems, that is, a hundred thousand billion poems. This will be my choice as a favorite poem, although it is more a way to make poems.
I always loved constraints as a means of liberating the writer of his own “inner critic”—you write words because they satisfy the constraints, not because you thought they would go well together in the first place. It allows for a kind of meditative state while writing, since you detach from meaning to give importance to constraints. And this allows serendipitous beauty.
In a sense, it reminds me of the description by Joyce Dyer of “seeing like an animal”—forcing yourself to detach of your “human prejudices” and see the world anew (like would children, an animal, or someone who is forced to satisfy constraints).

While this was a major accomplishment, it went almost entirely unnoticed. That could be, in part, because only two people in the world had a web browser to be able to access it. In fact, it wasn't until 1993 when Mosaic was released that the general populace had the ability to access any of the web.
For more on the history of the web, hit the break.
Sony had a powerful E3 presentation where Vita brought hope to all Sony fans and even myself that innovation had once again found itself ingrained within the Sony handheld's precious metals. While that seems to still be true, no one here in the US or Europe should expect to have their anxiety curbed this holiday season, according to Sony Executive Vice President Kazuo Hirai.
Despite the fact that Hirai announced at E3 the Vita would be available "starting from the holiday season this year," he made another announcement on August 4th that this would not be the case. The US and Europe but more importantly, the US, shouldn't expect Vita to grace store shelves until early next year. Missing out on the retail golden quarter might have certain ramifications for the Vita, more on that after the break.
WIRED:Report: Sony’s PlayStation Vita Will Miss Holiday Launch in U.S.
We have finally reached the end of the small battle between RIAA and LimeWire this week, as they have reached a payout agreement. You may recall that LimeWire has been on the hook for $105 million from several record labels and RIAA was so proud of themself from putting that together, that they felt they could pretty much do anything, so long as they got help from the crazy legislators in California.
This week we learned that LimeWire had to write a check for $12 million over to the Warner Music Group. That might not be as close to the $1 billion in damages Warner claimed to have had done to them at the hands of the former P2P software, but I suppose that's better than nothing. However, $12 million is only 1.7% of the amount of revenue Warner does in a quarter. So in the end, it's more like a drop in the Atlantic Ocean.
No matter how much money would be issued to these labels, though, it feels like they'd never be happy. Warner may have claimed $1 billion, but you know they would complain until they saw $3 billion in their account. Good news for them is that they were up 5% in revenue for the second quarter, attributed to digital sales that were up 13%. The number that is important is that they still were able post a net loss of $47 million. Seems like that $12 million might have helped them out more than they thought.

Vice Chancellor of Veritas University, Abuja, Prof. Michael Kwanahie, has restated the institution’s zero tolerance for cultism and other social vices commonly associated with students in tertiary institutions.
Kwanashie, who issued the warning while delivering an address at the 8th matriculation of the university held at its main campus in Bwari, Abuja, said culprits could face outright expulsion without an opportunity to make amends.
According to the VC, the warning became necessary as the university was also admitting students who have left other universities to pursue academic studies in the institution, stating that exam malpractice would not also be tolerated.
He dispelled claims that the social life of the school was boring and urged students to be of good conduct and create their own social life within the Campus instead of wanting to spend nights out in the City.
Speaking further on the employability of graduates from the institution, Kwanashie disclosed that in line with the mandatory entrepreneurship policy of the federal government for all universities, Veritas University ensures that no student graduates without proper training on entrepreneurship.
He said the university had gone into an agreement with CISCO to have CISCO-trained and certified graduates, adding that the institution was also trying to work-out an agreement with Microsoft Corporation to ensure that apart from their degrees, the students also have skills in other competencies.
The VC disclosed that the school also has a placement office where it can scout for jobs for students from employers and highlight areas of the students’ competencies.
Veritas University is currently experiencing tremendous growth in population as 452 students were matriculated for the 2016/2017 academic session, representing about two times the population matriculated in 2015.

On location at one of the airports we got the idea for this cover art. It had all the elements we wanted and to capture the feel we so visioned only toke a few hours of waiting. Waiting for just that right moment.
A wide range of airplanes took of this day and as we where wrapping up we decided to take one last picture - luck was on our side as it was the night flight to Beijing. Big plane, happy photographer; happy photographer equals great art work!
The elements needed was then composed together and retusched and the end result was a stunning art work with colors and a powerful message.
For this release we also packed a full social media coverage with Facebook banners, Instagram photos and a video for Youtube.

It happens time and time again, a voice echoes loudly within our heads reminding us we are not like you and the outside world views us as different or difficult. There is no one course of action that a survivor “should take” or a specific way that a survivor “should act” during the recovery process. There are, however, some important things to keep in mind when offering support to a brain aneurysm/avm survivor.
1. THE RECOVERY PROCESS NEVER ENDS.
There will never come a time when I forget that an aneurysm entered my life. Telling me to “move on” or “get over it” never makes me want to embrace myself or the brain aneurysm. Recovery is a slow process and there are no vacations while I try to learn to navigate through this new life I’ve been given. I understand my aneurysm didn’t happen to be a death sentence, but instead that it has become a life sentence. The healing process will never end and it takes a long time before both the heart and mind are on the same track. Moving from healthy person to survivor has been a life changing process, it has transformed how I view and accept the world. It scratched my lens of perception, landing me into a deeper sense of living.
2. SURVIVORS SHARE AN UNSPEAKABLE BOND.
In my 12 years of navigating the world as a brain aneurysm survivor, I am continually struck by the power of the bond between survivors. Our condition connects us and we become friends in mere seconds, even if we’ve never met before. No matter who we are, or how different we are, there is no greater bond than the connection between survivors. It’s a recovery journey for an entire lifetime, and unfortunately only those who have walked our path understand the depth of our pain and pride we carry at the same time. Being a survivor means I’m part of a club that I can never leave, one that is full of the most caring souls I’ve ever known.
3. I WILL BE A SURVIVOR FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
Period. The end. There is no “moving on,” or “getting over it.” I wish people could understand the day my rupture occurred was the day I started fighting for my life. My aneurysm was not a one time event….it was an event that will last a lifetime. I’ve become a member of the club called “brain aneurysm/avm survivors” and it’s a club I didn’t apply to join… nor one I can ever leave. Every single member wishes we’d met some other way, any other but this. The members are the most beautiful, caring, loving, compassionate people I’ve ever known. They are the ones changing the way the public views brain surgery and putting an exclamation point at the end of our awareness campaign.
4. NO MATTER HOW LONG IT’S BEEN, I STILL DESIRE MY OLD SELF BACK. I WILL GRIEVE A LIFETIME FOR HER.
There are great days and then there are the not so good days. Compassion, love, and understanding are what’s needed- not advice or a lecture on how I was so lucky to have survived. I miss the prior me and I realize there is no going back. There will never come a time when I won’t think about what I would be if the brain aneurysm hadn’t entered my life. It took me a long to build that girl before the rupture and it may take me a lifetime to let her go. The length of grieving time over prior self is different for each of the club members, but every person will face a life changing moment when they realize they can’t continue down the pathway of “prior self” and must take that fork in the road towards rebuilding.
5. THE CAUSE NEVER BECOMES LONELY.
Every day another person joins our club. Every day another survivor gets upset about how our cause is not known. They are the ones who spearhead awareness campaigns or launch a crusade of involvement. They do this in the hopes of saving another person from ever having to join our club. Curious to who the movers and shakers are in this cause? Look for the survivors who are turning their tragedy into a triumph. They’ve transformed their pain into a force to make a difference. They are the ones who have figured out that if they stop crying, they can be strong and create a movement.
6. BECAUSE I KNOW DEEP PAIN, I ALSO KNOW UNSPEAKABLE JOY.
Even though I may be in recovery for a lifetime, grieving my prior self doesn’t mean my life is void of happiness, love, and enjoyment. I don’t have to choose between grieving my prior self or happiness. In this situation, grieving and happiness can cohabitate. My life is more enriched now that I have experienced a brain aneurysm. I now think from a deeper place and love from a fuller heart. Due to the fact that I’ve experienced pain, sorrow, and fear my joy comes from a place of pureness and what is essential to live for.

The latest real estate radio show talking about the Santa Clarita real estate market this week – February 4th, 2019. Enjoy the show and I have placed the ‘rough’ transcription below.
REMAX gateway: 00:00 Good everybody. Let’s get into the local real estate market here in just a moment. We’ll talk about what’s going on, the happenings and what you should be looking for if you’re considering buying or selling here as we get into the week of February, fourth, 2019. I’m your host, Conor MacIvor, Connor with honor local real estate agent headquartered here in the Santa Clarita Valley, serving greater Los Angeles cities. We do have access points for all of the multiple listing services here in southern California, and that’s going to be SCVnest.com. So if you are searching online for homes and real estate, make sure that you check out our site and I will tell you it took a lot to get it up and running just for the simple reason. Unlike Zillow and Trulia, I’m the real thing. I am a real live realtor and I have. There’s a checks and balances. There are rules and regulations for me to publicize the real listings.
REMAX gateway: 00:59 They have a workaround method sometimes. I know we get a lot of calls from clients. How about this property have at that property and I have to tell him the other day that probably is not even for sale, but I found it on Zillow. I said, I know. I know you did, but it’s not for sale. It just looks like it is. Lots of that going on. You want to escape all that and just look at real stuff. ScvNest Dot Com. Besides, I don’t want to sell your stuff. I want to be your realtor. I want to be your go-to agent, so if you do go to Scvnest.com. Do some searching. Eventually it’s going to ask you to save your listings and set you up on a search by of course, your parameters before you can proceed. The person that sees your personal information is me.
remax gateway: 01:48 That’s it. I don’t trade it. I don’t sell it, I don’t send it. I don’t compromise it in any way. It stays within my SSL encrypted database. That’s it. So when you’re ready, then you say, hey Connor, I’m all set. Let’s give it a start and the start will be, we’ll do the crash course on real estate. I’ll explain to you how it all works, whether you’re buying or selling, even if you’ve done it before, how the market’s changed, and then we’ll get into the rest of the people in those questions that you should be asking those people, those service providers regarding real estate and what they’re going to do for you to make sure that you’re well covered and those questions are going to also involve asking for the best deal you could possibly get. Why not? You should get that deal. In fact, anybody you go to that’s a professional service provider should always do their best service and handle you with the utmost care.
remax gateway: 02:52 The most important thing for me is that my clients, my real estate clients are protected and served very well throughout the entire process before months, years, maybe before, during, and of course after. So when that first point of contact comes. Alright, so let’s get into the listings. This last week here in Santa Clarita Valley, including the cities of Castaic. canyon country Newhall, Saugus Stevenson ranch and Valencia act an awkward, I’ll say in the mix as well. Seventy one new listings hit the market. Fifty nine properties had their prices changed. We see that as an upward trend from only a couple of weeks ago where those price changes weren’t much, but also we were right in the middle of the holidays at that point. I’m sorry, a month and a couple of weeks ago, so six weeks ago or so back on market properties 18. These are properties that were in escrow and fell out.
remax gateway: 03:43 Now they’re back on the market. That’s why that’s a big reason why it’s so important to set yourself up with a search account at Scvnest.com. You’re searching for homes. You find a neighborhood that you just love and you have that search set up for that particular neighborhood. Then all of a sudden you see that property that you originally got in there, you see it’s an escrow. Well, maybe you miss it. Maybe you’re too busy. Maybe a lot of stuff going on. If you were to have that search set up, when that property goes back on the market or even as its prices changed, its price changed, you’re going to get that notification in your email right away and then you’ll know you reach out to Connor what’s going on and this one, it looks like it’s back, and I said yes back. It’s falling out of escrow.
remax gateway: 07:40 show expired. Once it shows expired at the end of that contract date, then that particular seller is going to get bombarded by agents that are paying these systems to scrub or scour the Internet to get their personal information. Now they’re not going to be pulling up a phone number off of the confidential place in the MLS or wherever from the agent, but they will see that this individual left their phone number somewhere or they trace it back and they get it and they ended up calling that owner and say, and this is all scripted stuff, right? They have these scripts out there for real estate agents. Are you ready to hire the right agent? Well, in some cases they already had the right agent. Maybe they were a little unrealistic. Other price. Maybe they have a particular strategy where they’re not in a hurry. Maybe they’re waiting until the market turns.
remax gateway: 08:35 Who knows what it may be, but it could be that that agent is there, bee’s knees, but those properties that there that’s, there’s just take longer to sell. I was showing the property and property in Bakersfield yesterday, Superbowl Sunday, and while I was out there is five acres flat right next to the main road to Alfalfa fields, a massive, a garage-type improvement, super high ceilings, all insulated to massive swamp coolers on it to conex boxes sticking out of either side in the bag, made access from the inside to the out. You could park several rvs inside them, a massive roll up door. They have three of those. Then the house itself, just gorgeous, custom built, single story home with everything you could imagine. Really, really pretty, very well done. Four bedroom, four bath. Master shower was remarkable, so you have this home, but at three quarters of a million dollars, a little bit more, seven nineties at that price, in that in the middle of nowhere, it’s not around any other homes.
remax gateway: 09:55 Those questions come up so that property is going to take awhile. It’s to take a while to sell. It’s been on the market honored 80 ish days. It’s probably going to take a little bit longer, but ultimately you price something like that for a bucket is going to sell in a minute, right? Of course, the seller wouldn’t be able to sell it for a dollar and they wouldn’t want to anyway, but the end of the day it comes down to price or waiting long enough until that right buyer comes along because those buyers don’t come along as frequently as a buyer that wants to buy in an urban type area. I eat close to the mall, close to shopping, close to entertainment centers, restaurants, that sort of thing. That’s a word about expired. Those hold properties that are out there, those 18, those are typically properties that, uh, there’s something going on with maybe the seller has changed their mind and now the agent has to work it out.
remax gateway: 10:46 Maybe they have way too many offers to work on and they chose that status, which really isn’t the way it’s supposed to be. But sometimes this happens. I’ve caught in a over. Let’s get into all of the senate creative valley, 567 listings currently on the market. That data is being pulled from STV nest.com. Don’t forget to go there and click on the top. We also put in a new option for you at the top. Click on video or also you can scroll down and see my video. We had this published up here a few days ago. It kind of gives you a little bit of insight into who I am and what I’m about. Moving into the a blog section, we have several pending articles that I’ve been working on. The last one that we put up had to do with who do you trust and I have a client of ours that we wrote an offer on a house.
remax gateway: 11:41 I’ve been cast stack and she called me a little panicked saying that her sister told her that you don’t own the land under this particular house, which is totally false. We also had another relative call us, call me and tell me that his daughter is offering too much. Well, other people are offering more so that’s where that went ended up and there’s been a couple of properties lost as a result, but that’s fine. I’m here to serve no matter how long it takes, but who you trust and real estate’s incredibly important and you want to make sure that you’re getting the best advice and people aren’t taking advantage of you. I’m confident. That’s the real estate market as far as it is now. We are kind of in a little bit of a holding pattern between a buyer’s and the seller’s market.
remax gateway: 12:36 We’re not seeing a lot of inventory come on the market and we’re not seeing a lot of inventory sell, but we are seeing in some circumstances that properties are getting multiple offers when they’re priced a little bit lower than market and they’re very highly desired real estate listings. I’m Connor with HONOR. Have a great, fantastic day. I will talk to you soon. Please share the show housing radio.com. That’s an easy way to get to a sub nest. I’ve come forward slash radio. You’ll see it there. Be Safe and we’ll talk to you soon. When you’re ready, reach out because I’m here for you.
When you are ready I will be here for you and yours. I’m Connor T. MacIvor, and I’m glad to be at your service.

But today, that amber glow reminded me…there is always a blessing in every season. That simple beauty was not there in the summer days. It is unique to fall.
Just like the seasons of our lives. They come and go…we yearn for the last season at times, or we yearn for a new one…yet, we forget that right there in that season, is beauty. Each season has its own beauty and its own purpose. Perfectly orchestrated by God. Each season holds its own plan.
I remember the season of being newly married. I yearned for a baby, and quickly I was in the next season. Then all of a sudden there were several babies, and here I was with a few little ones scampering around, wondering if I would ever get a minute to myself? If my house would ever be clean again?
Soon, I’ll be entering the teenage season..and rather than yearn for a different season, I will bask in the amber glow of this one. The beauty that is unique to this season of life.
I will be content in whatever seasons I am in. As I myself grow older, and I look ahead, I will always promise myself to be content whatever season I am in.
God made the seasons. They are purposeful, and each one full of beauty and uniqueness. Whether it is the Springtime bursting with life, the leaves of fall withering, or the snow covered ground, there is purpose.
Whatever season of life or motherhood you are in…bask in it. Cherish it. Grow in it. See the blessings. Be grateful for the season.

A new trailer has dropped for Daddy’s Home 2, the upcoming Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg sequel that adds John Lithgow and Mel Gibson to the mix.
The sequel to the 2015 comedy, which grossed $US242.7 million worldwide, finds father Brad (Ferrell) and stepfather Dusty (Wahlberg) in for a chaotic holiday season when their dads (Gibson, Lithgow) decide to drop around for Christmas.
More footage is on offer in the new trailer, including more of Gibson’s tough-guy grandad. It’s good to see the Oscar winner back in films, and tackling a broad family comedy is a bit of a change of pace for him lately too. Fingers crossed returning director/co-writer Sean Anders (We’re the Millers) and scribe John Morris bring the comedic best out of this great cast.
There are a few parent-focused comedies on the way. Fathers have another spotlight in the Owen Wilson and Ed Helms comedy Father Figures (previously known as Bastards) and mothers have the upcoming sequel A Bad Moms Christmas.
Daddy’s Home 2, also starring Linda Cardellini, John Cena, and Alessandra Ambrosio, opens in the U.S. on November 10 and arrives in Australia on November 23.

But sometimes things don’t quite sink in until they are laid out in front of you.
After hearing these four cuts spread out in full width and glory over two 12″ discs, mastered by Matt Colton and released via the highly respectable ‘Blackest Ever Black’ label – it became clearer just how bloody good these tracks really were.
Created by Amos Childs out of Jabu, El Kid & Vessel – the trio that make up the main structure of Killing Sound – Each piece of music on this release stands out as incredibly accomplished, beautifully restrained, with every frequency adding to the constant tension and release.
From the skewed vocal shots and elevated layers to the menacing drones, shattering drum hits and chest-crushing subs, each track sways in simple, yet complete form.
Sleeve design by Harry Wright.
180gsm vinyl – sounds heavy, feels heavy.

We’ve always loved blurring the background and making films look grainy and cinematic in post-production for our conventional videos. A few months ago this new Panasonic AF101 camera spoke to me, promised the world and allowed me to do all this live while filming. This is one of the new breeds of camcorders offering incredible depth of field using standard digital single-lens reflex (SLR/DSLR) camera lenses.
It’s a big step change for us as we’re very much into the reporter “run and gun” style of filming. By that I mean we often have short deadlines and increasingly shorter budgets which mean we’ve adapted to getting the most from a shoot day. We record footage very quickly to maximise our time on site and then add the “extras” and beauty to the video in post-production.
So the idea of fiddling about with lenses and iso settings while on a shoot location to get the perfect balanced shot with a blurred background is an alien concept to us, but we’re loving the challenge! When I took the Panasonic AG-AF101 body out of its box it felt very intuitive and easy to set up. However, worryingly after 10 or 15 minutes of fiddling there was no picture! I tried changing the adapter and the lens but still nothing.
Oh, and if anyone knows of a good shoulder mount for the Panasonic AF101 please let me know, I’m a bit loathed to pay over £2000 for a piece of slightly curved metal and a rolling pin handle!

Will Sherard, one of Milwaukee's most notorious inner city landlords, has long taken advantage of the system by routinely paying the bare minimum on fines for hundreds of building code violations, even as he pays cash to acquire new properties.
That game may be ending.
City attorneys have asked the Municipal Court to make Sherard prove he cannot afford to pay his fines, including $48,800 that was due last week. Presiding Municipal Court Judge Philip Chavez scheduled a hearing on the matter for next week. The city took the step after a Journal Sentinel investigation exposed ways that landlords, including Sherard, game the legal system.
The Journal Sentinel investigation found that Chavez and other municipal court judges have allowed landlords — who in some cases owe tens of thousands of dollars in fines — to take advantage of payment plans that allow them to pay as little as $100 every three months. In Sherard's case, it would take him between 17 and 25 years at the current pace to pay his largest fines of $10,000 each.
In the wake of the Journal Sentinel investigation, Mayor Tom Barrett and other officials said they would be cracking down on the practice. Officials from the City Attorney's Office said they had filed a standing objection to challenge payment plans sought by landlords hit with fines for code violations.
'Our office has met with Chavez ... to lodge a standing objection on a going-forward basis to installment plans and (is) asking for hearings if that's going to happen,' veteran assistant city attorney Gregg Hagopian said during an April 25 interview, in which he was joined by Barrett.
Deputy City Attorney Adam Stephens, who oversees building code enforcement matters, confirmed later that day that a standing objection to the payment plans had been made.
But no such motion had been filed until Thursday — the day Sherard's bill came due.
Chavez, for his part, said he met with Stephens several weeks ago and the subject of objecting to payment plans came up, although nothing was filed and no firm request was made. The judge added that he was unsure whether it was even feasible for the court to approve a standing objection to all payment plan requests.
Thus the city now plans to focus on about a dozen landlords with the most in outstanding fines and file motions on their individual cases.
City Attorney Grant Langley did not respond to requests for comment for this story.
Stephens said seeking payment hearings is one of several steps the city will be taking to crack down on landlords who do not pay fines.
Sherard and other landlords have long taken advantage of the Municipal Court's walk-in policy. The court allows people who are cited with municipal ordinance violations to come to court and deal with certain matters without an appointment — and without a prosecutor in attendance. For example, scheduling a hearing date or seeking an extension to pay fines may be dealt with during the walk-in periods.
The policy is designed to help people with busy schedules appear before a judge, but the Journal Sentinel investigation showed Sherard has used it to repeatedly get more time to pay his fines.
On Oct. 25, 2011, Chavez fined Sherard $45,184 for about 100 building code violations on six properties he owns. Since then, Sherard has come to court every 60 to 90 days when the fines were due, paid $100 on each of six fines and asked Chavez for payment extension — a request that has been routinely approved.
As a result, Sherard has paid only $5,584 on those fines without ever being considered delinquent.
During the same period, Sherard or his Morocco Investments LLC has paid $636,000 in cash to buy 63 houses at weekly sheriff's sales. Sherard has been a landlord for a half-century and has twice been convicted of misdemeanor unfair rental practices. Records show he or Morocco owns more than 100 Milwaukee rental properties.
In 2011, Sherard came up with $700,000 in one week when a federal judge jailed him for contempt after he repeatedly failed to produce the cash needed for lead paint abatement on his properties. Last year, in a separate matter, instead of seizing 31 properties on which Sherard owed delinquent taxes, the city sued him in Milwaukee County Circuit Court and won a $119,429 judgment.
The suit was filed because city officials said some landlords buy properties on the cheap — often at weekly sheriff's sales of properties foreclosed when borrowers fail to pay their mortgages. When buyers don't pay property taxes, the city typically seizes the homes after three years. That erases the owner's debt and sticks taxpayers with the deed to an often dilapidated property.
Chavez has said he hasn't considered how much in assets Sherard — or other landlords who seek extensions — have because city prosecutors have never brought the matter up. The judge has said he can only consider the evidence before him.
City attorneys have said they don't present the evidence because they never know when a defendant will appear to seek an extension due to the walk-in policy.
The practice has been going on for decades, said David Halbrooks, who was an assistant city attorney in the 1990s and then served briefly as a municipal judge.
'It was frequently frustrating because defendants would be able to come in on their own without the city being represented,' Halbrooks said.
As a result, 'the payment plan would become a legal strategy,' he said.
He noted that instead of payment hearings after the fact, 'it might be more efficient to have the discussion regarding a payment plan at the time of sentencing' when the fine is imposed and a when a prosecutor is present.
On Thursday, the day that 14 of Sherard's fines — including the six spotlighted in the Journal Sentinel story — came due, the city filed a motion asking to be notified so it could object to a new extension.
'We don't want any more partial payments,' said Patrick Leigl, the assistant city attorney who filed the objection.
The motion cites 22 Sherard or Morocco cases with fines totaling nearly $70,000. Sherard 'has surpassed a reasonable time to satisfy the total forfeiture judgment,' Leigl wrote in the motion. The fines cover infractions dating to 2009.
Although the fines were due Thursday, the Municipal Court automatically grants defendants a 10-day grace period before enforcement action is taken. Enforcement steps can include sending the debt to collection, issuing warrants or imposing property liens.
Sherard came to the walk-in court Monday, presumably to make nominal payments and seek a new extension to pay his fines. Instead, he was greeted by the city motion.
Chavez ordered a hearing for June 3, rejecting requests by Sherard — who frequently represents himself — for more time to prepare a case.
'I don't know what that means,' Sherard said, referring to the city's action.
Sherard complained that the city and court were taking the actions because of the Journal Sentinel stories.
Sherard rushed out of the courtroom after the Monday court session. Reached by phone Tuesday, Sherard told a reporter 'let me get back to you.' He has not called back.

In the run-up to the April 2017 implementation of the King IV Code on Corporate Governance for South Africa, there’s lots of talk about what it all means. From my perspective and experience working with companies, regulators and governments alike on ways to improve corporate governance, it all boils down to a change in one little word. But with this change comes big implications for companies.
The King IV Code requires listed companies to both apply the financial rules AND to explain the non-financial aspects of company operations. It replaces the King III Code requirement that companies either apply the financial reporting rules OR explain the reasons they are not. The revised code obligates companies to go beyond boilerplate reporting about their financial status to reveal more about their operational context.
The implication is clear: South African companies need to get better fast in their approach to transparency and disclosure.
But I would argue that it’s not just an issue for South African companies. In Kenya, for example, IFC is advising the Capital Market Authority on implementing a new corporate governance code. The code places great emphasis on transparency and disclosure, with a particular focus on stakeholder relations, ethics and corporate responsibility.
Globally, there’s a strong push for more detailed reporting on non-financial aspects of company operations, led by investors and shareholders. The reason? An increased level of disclosure, going beyond the balance sheet to span all aspects of operations, makes it harder to cover up ethics breaches, poor corporate citizenship, or otherwise bad corporate behaviour. Best-in-class disclosure gives investors comfort. It can mitigate some of the risks inherent in emerging and frontier markets, where there could be weak institutional oversight.
For companies in emerging markets, this better disclosure – including detail on safeguards to reduce the risk of ethics troubles – can be a differentiator as they compete for foreign investment. In addition, some studies have shown that increased disclosure and more detailed reporting can help lower companies’ cost of capital.
At IFC, our own commitment to heightened transparency and disclosure is embedded in our access to information policy. For our clients, we are responding to the growing global emphasis on transparency and disclosure with new tools that help companies enhance their non-financial reporting. We are also are expanding the scope of our corporate governance advice, which falls within a comprehensive environmental, social and governance framework to address the broader range of ethical issues companies face in today’s complex world. It’s all part of our overarching mission to encourage investment in emerging markets, guided by performance standards that aim for a strong triple bottom line: solutions that are good for business, investors and the local community and environment.
Unfortunately, though, there will always be bad actors. There will always be those in corporate positions of power with criminal intent in mind. There will always be the potential for ethical lapses – even if they are inadvertent or unintended.
That’s not to say that nothing can be done. Companies can take strong and decisive action to reduce these risks. They can demonstrate proactive efforts to safeguard their corporate integrity. In doing so, they will be better positioned to attract investment and thrive over the long term. Here are four steps African companies can take right now to ensure that their ethical houses are in order.
The arbiters of a company’s ethical behaviour are its wide range of stakeholders. These include employees, who may not have a say in how the company is run. However, even a perception of impropriety – and the ensuing damage to the company’s reputation – could have a profound impact on them and their families. Customers, too, play an important role. They can validate the company’s integrity by purchasing its products and services. In the event of inappropriate company behaviour, they can show their dissatisfaction by buying the competitor’s goods instead, with potentially disastrous revenue implications for the company.
The community at large also has a vested interest in the company, which has the potential to drive broader economic growth in the region. The community has power as well, bringing to bear a collective voice that is louder and stronger than ever, thanks to social media. Companies that behave badly – say by sending untreated manufacturing waste into local waterways or by making false claims about its products – won’t go unnoticed for very long.
Much of the responsibility for ethical corporate behaviour lies with the company’s board of directors. The converse is true as well: a weak board is an open invitation for bad actors to perpetrate fraud or other criminal activity. In short, the board is the custodian of the company’s reputation – for better or for worse.
For this reason, a strong board, comprised of a gender-diverse mix of directors, who bring complementary skills and experience to the table, is a must. Independent directors with standing in the community or in their field are an important part of the mix. They bring objectivity and an outsider’s point of view along with their good reputations, which can only benefit the board’s discussions and decision-making.
The conversation in African boardrooms today should be about putting into place robust safeguards to reduce the risk of ethical breaches. It starts with a clear statement from the board, indicating that the company has zero tolerance for fraud. The statement should include a plan for the what-if: what if evidence of fraud comes to light? It should stipulate the importance of the board’s role in stepping up, pushing for an investigation and announcing the results.
After defining the systems and processes that would guide an investigation, the company can test out the approach through frequent simulations. This will ensure that the anti-fraud mechanisms that were put in place remain relevant and effective. Such exercises demonstrate vigilance, putting potential fraudsters on notice that they will not be able to get away with their actions.
Conflicts of interest are bound to happen. The reality in many of Africa’s smaller markets – where there may be a limited number of suppliers and an even more limited number of players – is that it is next to impossible to avoid such conflicts. It could be a related party transaction, for example in a situation in which a board director has a connection with a potential supplier. This can result in unfair market practices, such as preferential pricing or too favourable a deal in exchange for a non-compete contract.
If such conflicts can be avoided, they should be. But, in accepting the reality on the ground, the key is to establish a clear policy that defines how the company handles such conflicts when they arise. The policy should state that anyone who has a conflict of interest should disclose the conflict. They should step away from the situation at hand and recuse themselves from the discussion and the decision. Of course, it’s not enough to have a policy on paper. It needs to be enforced. And, it needs to reported, rather than pretending it never happened.
Taking such actions now will position African companies well for the future. They will be better prepared to respond appropriately. And they will show that they have done all they can to reduce their business, ethics, governance and reputational risks, as the call for enhanced transparency and disclosure grows louder.

THE SOCIETY IS THE LEADING LEARNED SOCIETY for economists in the world, and the world-wide coverage is becoming even more important as economic science expands in regions outside of its traditional strongholds in North America and Europe. It has been both a privilege and a pleasure to serve as the Society’s President in the year of 2008.
One of the Society’s major activities is to publish high-quality research so as to further the objective of supporting economics with a quantitative-theoretical and quantitative-empirical orientation. The flagship journal Econometrica continues to be very well managed thanks to the devoted work by the Editor, Stephen Morris, assisted in the Princeton editorial office by Mary Beth Bellando, as well as the efforts of the six Co-editors, and many Associate editors. The Society’s Monograph Series was effec- tively edited by Andrew Chesher and George Mailath. In 2008, the Society also took important steps towards adding two new journals to its publications—more about this in Section 4 below.

According to Cushman & Wakefield's latest Q2 Residential Aggregator, out today, the inexorable rise in build costs continues to be one of the main causes for concern in the property industry, with build costs rising by over 6% per annum over the past two years. There was a slowdown in the rate of inflation during the first half of 2014; however, the growth rate has picked up again in recent months and during Q1 2015 costs rose at an annualised rate of 3%.
Costs are coming under increasing upward pressure partly due to the rising cost of material, the price of bricks for example rose by 9% in the first six months of 2015. However, the primary driver of cost inflation is the severe shortage of skills facing the construction industry, which is resulting in significant upward pressure on wages.
Looking ahead the picture isn’t expected to change much over the short term. The latest C&W consensus build cost forecasts predict that costs will rise by 6% in 2015 and a further 5% in 2016, which compares to house price growth in London of 3% and 5%. The continuation of costs rising faster than prices will likely result in stable land prices moving forward.
The recent election campaign bought into focus the countries inability to build enough homes. While London continues to fall short in the number of houses built each year, the number of starts and completions is increasing. The latest figures from DCLG show that the number of homes built in Q1 2015 was the highest quarterly total in three years and there were 9,500 houses started, which is the highest quarterly total in over 25 years.
Looking ahead the uplift in construction starts is a welcome sign for London; however, with build costs forecast to continue their rise and land in short supply this is likely to be a temporary uplift and will do little to solve the supply and demand imbalance in the capital.

I hosted a game on 1.8.1 beta, started it, when it loaded it said disconnected from metaserver or something. Didn't notice anything unusual, aside from the metaserver message which I hadn't seen before.

Good morning. U.S. Senate Republicans align, the West goes after Russia and handicappers speculate about the Nobel Peace Prize.
• Kavanaugh confirmation appears near.
Deeply divided over the results of an F.B.I. investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, the U.S. Senate moved uneasily toward a Friday morning vote to determine whether President Trump’s nominee will join the Supreme Court.
Republican leaders were increasingly confident of Judge Kavanaugh’s chances, but with four senators still undecided, his confirmation was not assured. Above, Senator Patrick Leahy arriving to view the sole copy of the F.B.I. report.
• More charges against Russia.
European officials accused Russia of cyberattacks on an organization investigating the poisoning of the former Russian spy Sergei Skripal. They also pointed to interference with a Malaysian investigation into the passenger plane shot down over Ukraine in 2014.
Officials in London also revealed an attempted hack on the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office by Russian military intelligence officers in the aftermath of the attempted assassination of Mr. Skripal and his daughter.
Those were all part of a coordinated move by Western officials in accusing Russia of a series of cyberattacks that targeted investigations of Russian wrongdoing around the world. Above, equipment said to have been used by Russian hackers.
Consumer confidence is falling in France. So are its leader’s poll numbers. But President Emmanuel Macron is determined to press ahead with the most business-friendly overhaul of the French labor market in decades. And he promises tax cuts and other benefits for middle- and low-income earners.
• Privatize the war in Afghanistan?
Erik Prince, the American mercenary executive, above, has been meeting with top officials in Kabul to sell them his vision of privatizing the war in Afghanistan.
But President Ashraf Ghani has refused to meet with Mr. Prince, the founder of Blackwater, the security firm infamous for killing civilians in Iraq. “Foreign mercenaries will never be allowed in this country,” Mr. Ghani said.
Still, Mr. Prince’s pitch to deploy contractors instead of U.S. soldiers seems to be striking a chord at a particularly sensitive moment. The Afghan security forces they support are dying in record numbers in clashes with a resurgent Taliban ahead of parliamentary elections next month.
• The Nobel Peace Prize will be announced today.
Who will get it? There are more than 300 nominees this year, and the process of choosing a winner is famously opaque, with no public shortlist and no insight into what the independent Norwegian committee is looking for.
Regardless, some bookmakers have bets on President Moon Jae-in of South Korea and Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, for working toward denuclearization. Another guess is the U.N. Refugee Agency.
So far this week, the Swedish Academy, which is responsible for the rest of the prizes, has handed out awards for medicine, physics and chemistry.
• What are household chores worth? About $1.6 trillion a year in Britain, according to a study. Among the top unpaid contributions to society are child care, cooking and driving young ones around.
• The E.U. is setting up a payments system to shield non-American companies from the U.S. sanctions against trade with Iran. The project faces technical challenges — and resistance from the Trump administration.
• International travelers would be forgiven for thinking Kennedy International Airport looks nothing like a gateway to the grand metropolis that is New York. On Thursday, officials unveiled a $13 billion solution to the airport’s mess, including plans for two new terminals.
• Here’s a snapshot of global markets. Markets in China are closed today.
• Are Neanderthals helping to keep us well? Scientists have found evidence that a tiny bit of genetic code carried by the descendants of ancestors from Asia and Europe may offer protection from viruses — including those related to influenza, herpes and H.I.V.
• It has been a career-defining time for Simona Halep of Romania. At 27, she is enjoying her No. 1 ranking since winning her first Grand Slam at the French Open. She talked to The Times about her big year.
• After Rosa Van Been married Joseph Bouglione in a lion cage, the Bouglione family bought the Cirque d’Hiver in Paris, more than 80 years ago. Mrs. Bouglione died recently at 107. The circus is still operating.
Last week, Scrabble players got some good news when the Merriam-Webster Official Scrabble Players Dictionary added 300 new words. (Think yowza, bibimbap, ok, zen and qapik, an Azerbaijani coin.) It was the latest chapter in the game’s long history.
Its inventor, Alfred Butts, first called the game Lexiko. Then Criss Cross Words. At one point, he simply called it, It. He modified rules, added a playing board. Toy manufacturers were unmoved.
“After giving your game our very careful review and consideration, we do not feel we would be interested in adding this item to our line,” read a letter to Mr. Butts from the Milton Bradley company.
Almost certainly the company regretted turning down the game, which became Scrabble in 1948 after an individual investor got involved.
Despite competition from online games like Words With Friends, the board version remains popular, selling an estimated one to two million sets annually in North America. It has been translated into some 29 languages, including German.
This reporter can number among her proud achievements petitioning Words With Friends to add “ew” to its word list. Last week, “ew” also became an acceptable word in Scrabble (along with another two-letter word, “ok,” opening up new strategic possibilities).

I am honest, understanding and diligent person.
Hello ma'am/sir, I'm Haydee and currently employed as a domestic helper here in Hongkong. Although it's my first time to work here I did undergone a training on domestic work before I came here. My current employer is from China and I'm about to finish next year. I'm taking care of 2 children aged 7 and 2. I prepare breakfast for the household, take children to school, cook lunch and accompany children to their extra curricular activities. I thoroughly clean the house and maintain it.My past work experienced has nothing to do with my job right now so I'll not discuss it further. One thing I'm sure for this kind of job is attitude, I've no much to offer but I'm always willing to learn and open to healthy criticism. I believe attitude is important for skills are to be learned. Thank you very much.

One of the largest single speculative warehouses to be built in Bristol is nearing practical completion at Horizon38, the new £85 million employment scheme currently being developed in Filton, North Bristol.
Available for occupation within the coming weeks, the new unit is a detached gateway building fronting Gypsy Patch Lane, and at 115,500 sq ft is equivalent to the size of two football pitches. It is being marketed by joint letting agents GVA and JLL on behalf of developer MSF Filton Ltd, a joint venture between iSec and St Francis Group.
Benefitting from a ready labour supply within walking distance, great local transport links and accessibility to the city as well as the motorway networks, Horizon38 sits within the Filton Enterprise Area and is the largest and most significant regeneration project in the South West. As a result of this accessibility, the size and high spec development of the new unit, the warehouse could easily act as a major industrial HQ for a local company, a strategic logistics hub servicing the region, or a facility to expand the neighbouring aerospace industries.
He continues, “A return to good levels of demand combined with a lack of building options outside Avonmouth has led to a serious lack of available floorspace in the region’s industrial stock, leaving occupiers with little or no choice when it comes to relocation or expansion in the traditional employment areas of the city.
The new Grade A self-contained detached unit has a height of 12 m, 10 dock level doors and 2 level entry loading doors. The space includes 5,490 sq ft of office space.
Further phases of new units from 3,000 sq ft will come on stream in early 2018 resulting in a total of 580,000 sq ft of logistics, industrial and trade counter space.

The Jesus and Mary Chain: Damage and Joy | Is Candy Still Dead?
Reunions have become as common in the music industry as reboots in Hollywood. I’m more often shocked when a band breaks up than I am when one gets back together. Whether or not it’s justifiable to call it fad depends on how good the post-reunion music is. The Jesus and Mary Chain called it quits in 1999 and officially reformed in 2007 to play Coachella. Since then, many wondered if that was it. Nearly a decade after that reunion, they’ve given us their official ‘comeback’ album Damage and Joy.
A reunion can ruin a good thing if no one asks for it.
While The Jesus and Mary Chain didn’t exactly leave on a satisfying note, 1998’s Munki was a fitting cap to their 1990s output. It may have been a misguided album but it just felt like a suitable ending to what they became. When people look back at The Jesus and Mary Chain, most are thinking of their 1985 debut Psychocandy. With its minimal production values, otherworldly feedback and Phil Specter-esque melodies, Psychocandy‘s influence is still felt today. With the Reid brothers pushing 60 and the shoegaze revival losing steam, where do The Jesus and Mary Chain go from here?
Instead of reinventing the wheel, The Jesus and Mary Chain pick up where they left off.
From the first 20 seconds of “Amputation” with feedback and tambourine beat, you know you’re listening to The Jesus and Mary Chain. Stick around for another 20 seconds and you’ll also realize nearly 2 decades off means little in the way of songwriting progression. Every song follows the same formula. It’s either a snappy alt-pop jam like “Always Sad” or moody sulking like “War On Peace”. This isn’t a bad thing by any means. When The Jesus and Mary Chain originally disbanded, they had all but perfected their core sound. In fact, this consistency acts as sort of a double-edged sword.
The Jesus and Mary Chain abandoned the noise found in their earlier works, focusing more on the ‘pop’ aspect of the ‘noise-pop’ genre. In some ways, I applaud the idea of sticking to what works. There’s nothing worse than hearing old, crusty dudes trying to appeal to the new generation. They’re better than flashy gimmicks and empty promises. On the other hand, Damage and Joy lacks the danger and mystique that makes The Jesus and Mary Chain.
Damage and Joy doesn’t stray too far from the mythos created later in their career.
It begs the question; Where do The Jesus and Mary Chain fit in 2017? As one of the most important artists of the shoegaze movement, they never really found the critical acclaim like other bands in their territory. If you ask 10 people to name an album from The Jesus and Mary Chain, 9 answers would be Psychocandy. (the other guy will probably mean to say Psychocandy, but will mislabel it Candy or something). So much emphasis on that particular album, the 2017 incarnation of The Jesus and Mary Chain are doomed from the get-go.
Damage and Joy is a fun album and worthy installment in The Jesus and Mary Chain catalog. The attitude, vitriolic wit and salty/sweet hooks are all in top form. There’s not a bad track to be had in the lengthy setlist. Yet there’s nothing that sets it apart from the last few albums to make this proverbial comeback seem special. If you’re expecting Psychocandy II, you’ll be greatly disappointed. However, if you’re a fan of Automatic and Stoned & Dethroned, Damage and Joy will hit the spot in the only way The Jesus and Mary Chain can.

A group made up of the Director, nursery workers, rangers, and technical staff of the Foundation visited the Rio Muchacho Organic Farm located in the province of Manabi. The objective of this visit was to learn the experience and technical methods of the application of permacultura as well as other practices such as recycling and the optimization and generation of alternative energy. The Farm is an excellent example of the relation between nature and resources, and we thank Nicola Mears and Dario Proaño for making this visit possible. In addition we visited the tree nursery of the Planet Drum Foundation in Bahia de Caraquez.

Locking down the ivory trade.
WWF and TRAFFIC welcomed today’s historic announcement that China will close down its domestic ivory trade by the end of 2017, signalling an end to the world’s primary legal ivory market and a major boost to international efforts to tackle the elephant poaching crisis in Africa.
The General Office of the State Council of China announced that China will “cease part of ivory processing and sales by 31 March 2017 and cease all ivory processing and sales by 31 December 2017”.
The global fight against the illegal ivory trade received a major boost in South Africa today when CITES countries voted against proposals from Namibia and Zimbabwe to open legal ivory trade from their countries.
The vote comes a day after countries from around the world called for a closure of domestic ivory markets and backed the CITES-led National Ivory Action Plan (NIAP) process.
“The decision to maintain the existing ban on international ivory trade was the right one for elephants,” said Ginette Hemley, WWF Head of Delegation to CITES CoP17.

I have no idea why dry shampoo isn't a huge topic in the beauty world. It has to be one of the products I can't go without. They say you can use it right after a shower to give your hair more volume (which I have yet to try!), as well as using it to give a matte finish. I can't believe I survived so long without it. My mom told me stories about how baby powder was used in the sixties and seventies by hippies, so they could avoid showering, so I've always been curious about this method. Experts say washing your hair too much can be damaging, which is another reason why dry shampoo is a marvelous invention.
Dry shampoo has been a life changing product for me in the past few years and I use it religiously. I am now able to get by without washing my hair everyday. Not only is it a great way to train your scalp to produce less oil, it also gives it that desirable matte finish, without stripping the natural oils of your hair. I've tried using baby powder, but it doesn't give the same effortless finish that the spray nozzle projects and I can never seem to get the white hue out of my hair with powder.
I find with Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Dry Shampoo, it is much easier to blend the spray in or just let it absorb. I usually apply it the night before or the morning of my no-poo day. I concentrate on the front-top part of my hair, while aiming it at a far enough distance, so I avoid getting an obvious white spot on scalp. If I concentrate too much, then I'll have to rub it in and this can be frustrating. With powder, I find blending it out a little more difficult.
Unfortunately, my hair is quite thin and dark, so it is super obvious when I haven't washed it. I've tried other dry shampoos and this has been my favorite so far. It has a pleasant, fresh smell and does not discolor my hair, as long as I apply it properly. With some dry shampoos, there isn't a lot of product in the spray can, but this one seems to last me a few months, while using it every other day. Unless I see another dry shampoo that I want to try, I'll be repurchasing this once my current one is empty!
This is usually sold in CVS, Ulta, Walgreens and some local grocery stores for around 5.99$.

Prep your space: When you’re changing diapers at home, you know the last time you cleaned your changing table. (Hopefully, right after the last time you used it.) However, when you’re on the go, typically the only way to know whether or not the changing table you’re about to place your child on is safe and sanitary is by cleaning it yourself. This is where Dettol® Multi-Use Wipes can come in handy. Always carry wipes with you and give the space a good wipe-down before you place your baby on it.
Use our tips to get through your own baby's diaper changing stage safely, and keep in mind that this phase won't last forever!

A method of and system for authorizing purchases made over a computer network is provided. In accordance with the present invention, a consumer electronically transmits an ATM card number over the network to an on-line merchant from which the consumer desires to make a purchase. The on-line merchant then electronically forwards the ATM card number to a third party contractor, such as a bank, that will oversee and authorize the transaction. The third party contractor subsequently determines an authentication token type associated with the card and electronically prompts the consumer for the appropriate type of authentication token, such as a PIN or biometric signature or the like. The consumer then inputs and electronically transmits the authentication token over the network to the third party contractor, bypassing the on-line merchant. Having both the ATM card number and the authentication token, the third party contractor verifies that the ATM card number and authentication token are valid, checks for sufficiency of funds, and either authorizes or denies the transaction. The authorization or denial is communicated to the on-line merchant over the network, who either completes or rejects the purchase.
This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/391,285 for “Method of and System for Making Purchases over a Computer Network,” filed Sep. 7, 1999, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety as though fully set forth herein.
The present invention generally relates to a method of and system for authorizing purchases made over a computer network and, more particularly, to a method of and system for authorizing purchases of goods and services over the Internet or other non-secure computer network using an automated-teller-machine (ATM) card, debit card or any other card or account identifier which may require a valid personal-identification-number (PIN) or other authentication token for transaction authorization.
The use of personal computers by consumers to purchase goods and services over the Internet via the World Wide Web and e-mail has become very popular in recent years and constitutes an ever-increasing part of the economy.
As those of ordinary skill in the art know, the Internet is a global computer network which comprises a vast number of interconnected computers. The interconnected computers exchange information using, inter alia, e-mail and the World Wide Web (hereinafter, the “WWW”).
E-mail refers to the transmission of electronic mail messages over the Internet from one computer to another. The WWW, on the other hand, allows a Web server computer system to send graphical Web pages of information to a remote client computer system. The remote client computer system can then display the Web pages using a browser program or the like.
Each Web page of the WWW is uniquely identifiable by a Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”). To view a specific Web page, a client computer system specifies the URL for that Web page in a request (e.g., a HyperText Transfer Protocol (“HTTP”) request). The request is forwarded to the Web server that supports the Web page. When the Web server receives the request, it sends the Web page to the client computer system. When the client computer system receives the Web page, it typically displays the Web page using a browser. A browser is a special-purpose application program that effects the requesting of Web pages and the displaying of Web pages. Commercially available browsers include Microsoft Internet Explorer™ and Netscape Navigator™.
Web pages are typically defined using HyperText Markup Language (“HTML”) or other languages. As those of ordinary skill in the art know, HTML provides a standard set of tags that define how a Web page is to be displayed. When a user indicates to the browser to display a Web page, the browser sends a request to the server computer system to transfer to the client computer system an HTML document that defines the Web page. When the requested HTML document is received by the client computer system, the browser displays the Web page as defined by the HTML document. The HTML document contains various tags that control the displaying of text, graphics, controls, and other features. The HTML document may contain URLs of other Web pages available on that server computer system or other server computer systems.
Because of its graphical and user friendly nature, the WWW is particularly well suited for e-commerce, i.e., the transacting of business on-line. Today, thousands of companies throughout the world provide goods and services to consumers using Web sites. Consumers can connect to these Web sites and purchase the goods and/or services offered by the particular companies.
In making a purchase over the Internet, the typical consumer uses a credit card or ATM card. After making his purchase selection, the consumer transmits his card information over the Internet to the on-line merchant. The on-line merchant then contacts the issuing bank to verify the card information and obtain authorization to complete the transaction. Depending on the response from the bank, the on-line merchant either accepts or rejects the purchase.
Because the Internet is a non-secure (i.e., public) network, there is a danger that the consumer's credit card or ATM card information will be intercepted by a third party. If that third party is dishonest, he/she can make illegal charges to the credit card or, in the case of an ATM card, remove money directly from the consumer's bank account. In recent years, numerous approaches have been implemented to reduce this security risk. The most popular approach has been sophisticated encryption techniques which render the credit card or ATM card data virtually unreadable to third parties, such as 128-bit secure-sockets-layer (SSL) encryption.
When making purchases over the Internet using an ATM card, however, security considerations take on an added importance because, unlike with transactions at ATM machines, PINs or other authentication tokens, such as biometric signatures or passwords, are presently not used in ATM card transactions on the Internet. Thus, should the ATM card number fall into the hands of an unscrupulous third party, the card-holder's entire bank account can be wiped out through fraudulent Internet transactions.
One way to overcome this problem is to require the use of authentication tokens in ATM transactions on the Internet. This has not been possible to date, however, because on-line merchants do not have the ability to verify PINs or other authentication tokens. Additionally, it is not desirable to provide the on-line merchant with both the ATM card number and the corresponding authentication token since unscrupulous employees of the on-line merchant can use the authentication token to illegally access the card-holder's bank account and withdraw money therefrom.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new method of and system for authorizing purchases made over the Internet using an ATM card wherein a valid authentication token is required in order to obtain authorization for a given purchase. It is another object of the present invention to provide a new method of and system for authorizing purchases made over the Internet using an ATM card wherein a valid authentication token is required in order to obtain authorization for a given purchase, and wherein the authentication token is not supplied to the on-line merchant. It is another object of the present invention to provide a new method of and system for authorizing purchases made over the Internet using an ATM card wherein a valid authentication token is required in order to obtain authorization for a given purchase, and wherein any one or more of a plurality of authentication token types may be used. Other objects of the present invention will become apparent from the following discussion.
In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, a method of authorizing purchases made over a non-secure computer network using an ATM card is provided. In accordance with said method, after making a purchase selection, a consumer electronically transmits the ATM card number over the network to an on-line merchant. The on-line merchant then electronically forwards the ATM card number to a third party contractor, such as a bank, that will oversee and authorize the transaction. The third party contractor then determines the authentication token type associated with the card and electronically prompts the consumer for the appropriate type of authentication token, such as a PIN or biometric signature or the like. The consumer then inputs and electronically transmits the authentication token over the network to the third party contractor, bypassing the on-line merchant. Having both the ATM card number and the authentication token, the third party contractor verifies that the ATM card number and authentication token are valid, checks for sufficiency of funds or other restrictions, and either authorizes or denies the transaction. The authorization or denial is communicated to the on-line merchant over the network, who either completes or rejects the purchase.
In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention, a system for authorizing purchases made over a non-secure computer network using an ATM card is provided. The system includes first, second and third computers connected to a computer network. The first computer is used by a consumer to transmit the consumer's ATM card number over the network to the second computer, which is operated by or for the on-line merchant. The second computer then forwards the ATM card number over the network to the third computer, which is operated by or for the third party contractor. The third computer then determines the authentication token type associated with the card and prompts the consumer for the appropriate type of authentication token. The consumer then inputs the authentication token into the first computer, which transmits the authentication token over the network to the third computer, bypassing the second computer. The third computer then verifies that the ATM card number and authentication token are valid and that there are sufficient funds in the bank account to cover the transaction amount and that no other restrictions apply. The third computer then transmits the results of the verification procedure to the second computer. Depending on the validation results, the purchase is either completed or rejected.
The present invention will now be described in greater detail, with frequent reference being made to the drawings identified below in which identical numerals represent identical elements.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating the transfer of data in the system of FIG. 1.
The following description is presented to enable any person of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the present invention. Various modifications to the preferred embodiment will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, and the principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiment shown, but is to be accorded the broadest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.
A block diagram of a system 10 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1. The system 10 includes a first computer 12 at a consumer location 14, a second computer 16 at an on-line merchant location 18, and a third computer 20 at a third party contractor location 22. The three computers 12, 16, 20 are connected together over a computer network 24 which, for purposes of this discussion, is the WWW portion of the Internet, although the present invention may be practiced on any public or private computer network. The second computer 16 and third computer 20 may optionally be connected over a private network or a direct data connection rather than the Internet, as indicated by the dashed line 24A connecting the second computer 16 and third computer 20 in FIG. 1. As used herein, the term “computer” refers to any data processing device which can be configured to perform the functions described herein and the term “computer network” refers to any type of communications network over which computers can communicate with one another.
The first computer 12, which will generally be located at the consumer's home or business (consumer location 14), will typically be a conventional personal computer (PC) that includes a chassis that houses a central processing unit (CPU) and supporting circuitry, as well as a floppy drive, a hard drive and an internal modem. Connected to the CPU through the chassis are a keyboard, a mouse and a monitor. The keyboard and mouse are used by the consumer to control the operation of the first computer 12 and to input information into the first computer 12. The first computer 12 will usually be coupled to the Internet 24 via a telephone line connected to the modem, although the computer can be connected to the Internet via a high speed data transmission line. The consumer will typically connect to the Internet using an Internet service provider, such as Erols™ or America OnLine™, but may have a direct connection to the Internet. To this end, the first computer 12 has stored in memory Internet software 13 which enables connection to the Internet and a Web browser 15, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer™ or Netscape Navigator™, which enables the consumer to browse Web sites on the WWW.
Although a conventional PC will typically be used by the consumer, the consumer may use any type of computer that can be connected to the Internet, including a work station on a local area network or a wireless device such a cellular telephone or personal-digital-assistant, and any operating system. The particular details of the first computer 12 are largely irrelevant to the present invention, as long as the first computer 12 is capable of performing the functions described herein. The first computer 12 merely serves as a convenient interface for the consumer to place orders for goods and services over the Internet.
Next shown in FIG. 1 is the second computer 16 which is located at the on-line merchant location 18. The second computer 16 will preferably be a more powerful machine than a personal computer, such as a workstation, although a personal computer may also be used by the on-line merchant. Again, the particular details of the second computer 16 are largely irrelevant to the present invention, as long as the second computer 16 is capable of performing the functions described herein.
Typically, the second computer 16 will be a Web server (a computer that provides direct access to the WWW on the Internet and includes the necessary hardware, operating system, Web server software, TCP/IP protocols and Web site content) owned and operated by the on-line merchant or by an Internet service provider with whom the on-line merchant has contracted. For purposes of this discussion, the on-line merchant location 18 refers to the location of the second computer 16, and not necessarily the actual physical location of the on-line merchant.
Preferably, the second computer 16 will be running Windows NT™ 4.0, using Internet Information Server™ 4.0 and Commerce Server™ 3.0. The CPU of the second computer 16 must have acceptable power and should have at least 64 megabytes of RAM.
The second computer 16 will typically have an on-line catalog 17 in memory which can be accessed and browsed by the consumer over the Internet 24 through an appropriate graphical use interface (GUI) supplied by the on-line merchant in the form of HTML pages, as well as purchase processing software 19 which is used to process ATM card purchases as further described herein.
Next shown in FIG. 1 is the third computer 20 which is located at the third party contractor location 22. The third party contractor is an independent, insured organization, such as a bank, that has contracted with the on-line merchant to provide ATM services. Although the third computer 20 can be a personal computer, as with the second computer 16 it will preferably be a much more powerful machine, such as a workstation. The third computer 20 is likewise preferably a Web server owned and operated by the third party contractor or by an Internet service provider with whom the third party contractor has contracted. The third party contractor location 22 refers to the location of the third computer 20 and not necessarily the actual physical location of the third party contractor. As shown in FIG. 1, the third computer 20 includes an optional account database 23 containing account information (e.g., account number, ATM card number, authentication token, account balance) for account holders of the third party contractor, authorization software 25 for performing the purchase authorization functions described herein below, a look up table 26 which contains a listing of authentication token types used by various card issuers indexed by bank identification number (BIN), and a merchant database 27 which is used to store transaction and other account data for merchants who have contracted with the third party contractor to receive ATM services.
As with the first and second computers 12, 16, the particular details of the third computer 20 are largely irrelevant to the present invention, so long as the third computer 20 is capable of performing the functions described herein. Preferably, however, the third computer is Compaq ProLiant™ server running at 500 MHZ with 128 MB RAM and using Windows NT™ 4.0.
The flow charts provided in FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate the operation of the system 10. The consumer initially establishes a connection over the Internet 24 between the first computer 12 and the second computer 16 by accessing the on-line merchant's Web site using the Web browser 15 (step 28). Then, using the GUI supplied by the on-line merchant in the form of HTML pages, the consumer browses the on-line catalog 17, selecting which goods and/or services he wishes to purchase (steps 30 and 32). Once the consumer makes his selection and is ready to place an order, the consumer transmits a purchase order message over the Internet to the on-line merchant using the Web browser 15 (step 34).
At this point the purchase processing software 19 is activated. The consumer is first prompted for his payment information by the merchant via an appropriately configured HTML page (step 36). For purposes of the present discussion, the payment information is an ATM card number and expiration date, although the payment information can include additional data such as the consumer's name and address. The consumer then inputs the requested payment information into the HTML page and transmits the payment information over the Internet to the second computer 16 via the browser 15 (step 38). As used herein, the term “ATM card” includes bank cards, debit cards and any other cards or account identifiers for which the issuing bank or organization may require a valid authentication token, such as a PIN, a biometric signature, an authorization code stored on a smart card, or password, for use. The payment information is preferably transmitted over the Internet using an encrypted connection, such as 128-bit encryption SSL. Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that an initial step may be added which requires the consumer to select a method of payment. If the method of payment selected by the consumer is something other than an ATM card (as that term is herein defined), then the purchase will not be processed in accordance with the present invention.
In the preferred embodiment, upon receipt of the ATM card number, the second computer 16 creates a unique session identifier by combining the on-line merchant's IP (Internet Protocol) address, which uniquely identifies the on-line merchant, with an incremented transaction serial number. The second computer 16 then performs two simultaneous or nearly simultaneous functions. First, the second computer 16 forwards the ATM card number, expiration date, the unique session identifier, a merchant identifier, such as a merchant identification number or name, the purchase price, and other optional relevant transaction parameters, such as the local date and time of transaction, a currency code if the transaction is not in U.S. dollars, the consumer's name and address, and identifiers relating to the on-line merchant's bank account, in a data packet over the Internet 24 or, alternatively, a private network or direct connection 24A, to the third computer 20 at the third party contractor location 22 (step 40). If data transmission is over the Internet, SSL encryption is preferably used.
Upon receipt of the data packet from the second computer 16, the third computer 20 may optionally perform a security check to ensure that a valid merchant, and not a hacker, has sent the data package. This may be accomplished by, for example, comparing the merchant identifier against the merchant database 27. Assuming the merchant is validated by the security check, the third computer 20 temporarily stores the data packet in memory in a queue to be matched with the authentication token (see below).
The data packet transmitted by the second computer 16 to the third computer 20 is preferably transmitted in an industry standard format, such as ISO 8583 or VISA-K. These data formats are commonly used and are well-known to those of ordinary skill in the art. However, those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the present invention is not limited to any particular data format, and can be used with any format which might be required by the merchant, including proprietary data formats.
At the same time or nearly at the same time the second computer 16 transmits the data packet to the third computer 20, the second computer 16 also downloads to the first computer 12 an HTML file, which contains a command, preferably in the form of a Java script, which causes the consumer's Web browser 15 to open a new window and issue an HTTP request to the third computer 20 in order to establish a connection between the first computer 12 and the third computer 20 (step 41). This HTTP request also includes transaction parameters which uniquely identify the transaction, including the ATM card number, the purchase amount, the unique identifier, and the merchant identifier. Alternatively, the Java script could also have been embedded in the HTML page downloaded to the first computer 12 in step 36 so that the connection between the first computer 12 and the third computer 16 is established when the ATM card number is transmitted to the second computer at step 38.
Upon receipt of the request from the first computer 12, the third computer 20 optionally performs a security check on the content of the data and its source. Assuming that the request is legitimate, the third computer 20 next determines the type of authentication token required by the issuer of the consumer's ATM card (step 42). The authentication token may be, for example, a PIN, a biometric signature such as a fingerprint or retinal image, an authorization code stored on a smart card, a password, or a combination of the foregoing. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, this determination is based on the ATM card number. All ATM cards having the same initial six digits (referred to as a bank identification number, or BIN) are issued by a given issuer. Thus, based on the BIN, the card issuer, and thus the type of authentication token used by the particular card issuer, can readily be determined by reference to the look up table 26.
Other methods may be used to determine the authentication token type as well. For example, the user may be asked to indicate the authentication token type when he/she initially transmits the ATM card number to the on-line merchant. The authentication token type would then be transmitted from the second computer 16 to the third computer 20. This approach, however, requires the consumer to take an additional step and requires the merchant to modify his order page to include an additional data field. This is less desirable than having the third computer 20 determine the authentication token type based on the card number as discussed above.
Based on the determined authentication token type, an HTML user interface tailored for the particular authentication token type is downloaded to the first computer 12 and queries the user for his authentication token (step 44). Embedded in the downloaded HTML page are the unique identifier, the merchant identifier, the purchase price and other optional relevant transaction parameters, such as a partial account number for verification by the consumer and a unique tracking number issued by the third computer 20.
If the authentication token is a PIN, the interface might be a GUI resembling an ATM, as shown in FIG. 3 of the parent application, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/391,285. If the authentication token is a fingerprint or retinal image, the user interface might ask the user to input his fingerprint or retinal image using a scanner or camera connected to the first computer 12. If the authentication token is an authorization code stored on a smart card, the user interface might ask the user to insert a smart card into a smart card reader attached to the first computer 12. If the authentication token is a password, the user interface might ask the user to type his password into the first computer 12 using the keyboard. The benefit of this approach is that any type of authentication token which might be used by a card issuer can be used without having to modify the merchant's Web site.
After the user inputs the authentication token, the token, together with the unique identifier and other transaction parameters that were embedded in the downloaded HTML user interface as described previously, are transmitted in a data packet from the first computer 12 to the third computer 20 by the browser over the Internet (step 46). The connection between the first computer 12 and third computer 20 is encrypted and is independent of the connection between the first computer 12 and the second computer 16 so that the on-line merchant is never in possession of the authentication token. The data packet is queued in memory on the third computer 20.
The third computer 20 next verifies that the ATM card number and authentication token are valid. Because the third-party contractor may be overseeing multiple transactions at any given time, the third computer 20 must first match the authentication token with the corresponding ATM card number. To do this, the third computer 20 matches the transaction parameters contained in the data packets received from the first and second computers 12, 16 (step 48). For security reasons, data packets stored in the queue expire if no match is found within a pre-configured time period, e.g., two minutes. Once the data packets from the first and second computers 12, 16 are matched by the third computer 20, the third computer checks the validity of the ATM card number and authentication token (step 50). If the ATM card number or the authentication token are invalid or have expired, the third computer 20 so informs the second computer 16 and the on-line merchant rejects the purchase order and notifies the consumer (step 52). If the ATM card number and authentication token are valid, the third computer 20 checks to see whether there are sufficient funds in the consumer's account to cover the purchase price or whether there are any other restrictions which might prevent the purchase (step 54). If there are sufficient funds in the account and no restrictions apply, the third computer transmits an authorization message to the second computer, debits the consumer's account, the purchase is completed and the consumer is notified (step 56). If there are insufficient funds, or any other restrictions apply, a rejection message is transmitted, the on-line merchant rejects the purchase and the consumer is notified (step 52).
Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that an additional step can optionally be added to the validation process wherein the ATM card number and authentication token are examined to determine whether they have been transmitted in the proper format. This additional step reduces the impact of fraudulent activities by unscrupulous parties.
If the ATM card was issued by the third party contractor, the validation steps (50-56) may be accomplished by simply accessing the account database 23 or another database in or connected to the third computer 20. If, however, the ATM card was issued by another bank, then the third party contractor must verify the card information by contacting the issuing bank, either directly over a secure line, through a private ATM network, such as CIRRUS, or through any other available avenue.
Once the transaction is completed, the transaction particulars are preferably recorded in the merchant database 27 for record-keeping purposes. The on-line merchant will later be credited for the on-line purchase during a periodic settlement and clearance process which is well known to those of ordinary skill in the art and which may be readily implemented with the system 10.
The flow of data among the first, second and third computers is schematically shown in FIG. 4. As is clear from FIG. 4, the ATM card number and the authentication token are never transmitted together and the on-line merchant is never in possession of both the ATM card number and the authentication token. Thus, the danger that an unscrupulous hacker or employee of the on-line merchant will obtain the ATM card number and authentication token and steal money from the consumer's account is eliminated.
Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate the versatility of the present invention. Because the user interface for the authentication token is tailored at the third party contractor's computer, rather than at the on-line merchant's computer, on-line merchants are free to enter into transactions without regard to authentication token type since their Web sites do not have to be modified in any way to handle different types of authentication tokens.
While the embodiment discussed herein relates to the WWW, those of ordinary skill in the art will further appreciate that the present invention is not limited to the WWW, but may be used on any type of public or private computer network without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
Those of ordinary skill in the art will also appreciate that the present invention may be implemented using well-known computer programming techniques.
Thus, in accordance with the foregoing the objects of the present invention are achieved. Modifications to the present invention would be obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art, but would not bring the invention so modified beyond the scope of the appended claims.

For people here in the U.S. uploading tours to the Multiple Listing Service (how Realtors share their properties for sale with other Realtors), this would be a problem - MLS does not allow any kind of "branding" in the images we upload.
Would´t be a problem in the UK, but it would be considered blatant self promotion and I would personally not do it.
I do have some small stickers, business card size, on my camera, not for the "mirror shots" but rather when busy shooting some public accessible spaces, people can get my contact details without having to come up and ask.
In my opinion the camera in the mirror should be as less noticeable as possible, so placing stickers like in the photo would causa some kind of a shock to anybody exploring the space.
If you want to advertise your brand you could use WP3D Models solution that lets you place your logo over the images in the lower left corner of the screen in a very low key but effective way.
It worked for me and I have received a couple of contacts coming from people that saw my brand on a model.
A small sticker as @JC3DCX mentions is a very good idea. Nothing invasive but effective when working in public acccessible spaces. Particularly because the camera atracts attention by itself.
Over the last 100 scans I've done, I've only shown a mirror once or twice. You can almost always find ways to avoid them.
It's a huge distraction to see the camera in the mirror and putting some sticker on the camera makes it even more distracting and tacky.

To bring this to life, the Company is focused on fostering a culture of inclusion and deploying initiatives for developing employees, attracting top talent and building meaningful partnerships with organizations in the areas where Gildan operates to help strengthen and empower its communities.
“We know that our commitment to Diversity & Inclusion across the entire organization strengthens our business and better prepares us to lead in the future,” says Isabelle Tisseur, Vice President of Corporate Human Resources.
In the summer of 2018, Gildan launched a training program focused on inclusive leadership for over 180 senior leaders around the globe. The training raised awareness of the power of inclusion, uniqueness and belonging, uncovering unconscious biases, as well as the effects of privilege. Gildan executives were encouraged to leverage this to become more inclusive leaders and consider inclusion in all aspects of their roles and functions across the organization. Following the success of the series, the program was also launched for managers.
Gildan celebrates two years of partnership with Catalyst, a global non-profit organization helping to accelerate the advancement of women in the workforce.
Gildan’s partnership with Catalyst offers global employees an extensive spectrum of free resources such as virtual events, learning opportunities, research, social networking, webinars and newsletters on topics related to workplace inclusion.
In November 2018, Gildan welcomed Catalyst at their corporate headquarters for insightful lunch & learn sessions on intentional inclusion in the workplace.
Find out more about Catalyst here.
On International Women’s Day, some of Gildan’s female leaders also shared their path to management roles with the support of great mentors and they continue to pay it forward. Their video was largely broadcast within the organization and on the web. Watch it here.
Earlier this year, Gildan launched the "Millennial Perspectives” series in its regional office in Rio Nance, Honduras to help millennial employees share their professional experiences with colleagues as well as personal accomplishments and passions. Employees from the manufacturing floor right through to executives were invited to attend the sessions. Through this series, Gildan aims to promote multigenerational exchange and reverse mentoring to enhance the performance of teams.
Starting in the fall of 2017, Gildan launched a women’s leadership series featuring inspirational and empowering stories shared by successful women. These sessions were designed to foster the development of employees and, more importantly, to emphasize women’s unique and important place in the workforce and in society. Close to 400 women participated in the training.
Gildan’s American Apparel sponsored the Montreal Pride Festival for the first time in 2018. The Company invited employees in the Montreal area to participate in the ten day long festival and encouraged them to attend the parade in support of this event celebrating diverse and inclusive communities.
In 2018, Gildan’s American Apparel launched an all-inclusive campaign “They O.K.”, modelled by real members of the LGBTQ+ community. All proceeds of this special pride capsule collection were donated to The Trevor Project, an organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ people under the age of 25 years old.
Explore the “They O.K.” campaign here.
In September 2018, Gildan launched a new Women’s Empowerment Initiative in the Dominican Republic entitled "La Comunidad Emprende" or “The Community Startup”. Through a partnership with the Canadian Embassy and the Batey Relief Alliance, Gildan sought to empower over 180 young women and men in the communities in which it operates, providing training, guidance and support to pursue their own business. Moreover, the training placed a large focus on gender-based violence prevention.
In early 2018, Gildan launched a partnership with the AFFQ, a dynamic network offering tools and development opportunities to further the career of women in finance but also various fields of business. Thanks to this partnership, a number of employees, both female and male, were offered free membership to the AFFQ, giving them access to a variety of developmental opportunities such as networking events, leadership development workshops and mentoring.

Britain on Monday announced plans for “swarm squadrons” of drones that could overwhelm enemy air defences as part of a series of plans to “enhance its lethality” after Brexit.
Williamson announced plans to invest 7 million pounds (8 million euros, $9 million) in the drones, saying he expected squadrons “capable of confusing and overwhelming enemy air defences” to be ready by the end of 2019.
Williamson also said Britain would spend 65 million pounds in “offensive cyber”, and bring two new naval vessels into service for operations from crisis support to conflict.
German forces recently began a training course at the Tel Nof airbase in Rehovot, Israel, in an effort to learn the surveillance capabilities of the costly Heron TP unmanned surveillance drone.
The German officials, a pilot and sensor operator, began the eight-week training session in late January, according to the Jerusalem Post, which reported that the drone training is expected to continue for two years and involve the participation of 35 two-person teams.

It doesn't seem to happen for everyone, however, so we're still interested in seeing how many are affected. So please submit a ticket if you can't install vJoy or if an existing vJoy driver has issues after upgrading to Windows 10 version 1803.
vJoy is a third party application so unfortunately, we can't provide a fix ourselves. The issue has been logged for the vJoy project here.
For the time being, you can downgrade to Windows 10 v1709 to make it work.
UPDATE: The creator of vJoy have released a new update that fixes this issue (Build 39). It can be found here.
Before installing this version of vJoy make sure the previous configuration (if causes problems) is removed: Run vJoyConfig -r then install this version of vJoy.
OR run the attached bat file.

Illinois Appellate Court invalidates mortgage where lender was not properly licensed under the Residential Mortgage License Act - Hein Schneider & Bond P.C. Illinois Appellate Court invalidates mortgage where lender was not properly licensed under the Residential Mortgage License Act - Hein Schneider & Bond P.C.
In a case of first impression in Illinois, the Appellate Court for the Second District of Illinois has determined that a mortgage made by an entity lacking authorization to conduct business under the Residential Mortgage License Act (205 ILCS 635/1-1 et seq.) is void as against public policy. First Mortgage Company, LLC v. Daniel Dina and Gratziela Dina, 2014 IL App (2d) 130567 (March 31, 2014).
The Plaintiff, First Mortgage Company, LLC, filed a foreclosure complaint relating to property in North Barrington, Lake County, Illinois, naming as defendants Daniel Dina, the property owner and borrower, and Gratziela Dina, who had also signed the mortgage. According to the Complaint, the lender was an entity identified as FMCI. Defendants, the Dinas, appeared through counsel and asserted that Plaintiff, First Mortgage Company, LLC was neither the mortgagee nor the successor in interest to the mortgagee and that Plaintiff lacked standing. Plaintiff moved for summary judgment in which it provided evidence of a merger between FMCI and Plaintiff.
The Dinas missed their deadline to respond to the motion for summary judgment, sought additional time and filed a proposed response asserting that neither entities were licensed to do business in Illinois or licensed under the RMLA. The circuit court granted Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment and entered judgment for foreclosure.
On appeal, the appellate court relied on Illinois law relating to other licenses and sister-state law concerning statutes analogous to the License Act to reach its determination that a License Act violation results in an unenforceable contract. The court further concluded that because the mortgage contract would be void as a matter of public policy, any technical flaw in the way the defendants raised the defense did not result in a forfeiture of the defense.
The court’s opinion made clear that where a mortgage has been assigned to another entity who then seeks to enforce its terms through foreclosure, it is the licensure status of the original mortgagee that is relevant. Under the License Act, “[n]o [nonexempt person or entity] shall engage in the business of brokering, funding, originating, servicing or purchasing of residential mortgage loans without first obtaining a license from the [Secretary]. Opinion ¶16; 205 ILCS 635/1-3(a). Thus it is the original mortgagee’s status, not plaintiff’s that is relevant here. Id.
The Second District concluded, therefore, that a mortgage made by an entity lacking authorization to conduct business under the RMLA is void and against public policy. The court noted that although the Dinas did not properly raise the defense, under the circumstances they did not forfeit the defense as a matter of public policy, and stressed that it is within the court’s power and discretion to sua sponte consider whether an agreement is unenforceable as against public policy, even if no party raised the point. The court vacated the foreclosure judgment and remanded to the circuit court to permit the Plaintiff to respond to the Dinas’ defense.

A “Casa” is a “house” in Italian- Maria Montessori’s native language. Preschool Rooms in Montessori centers are often referred to as a Children’s House or Casa as a nod to its founder. And a house or home is very much what we try to create with our mixed age classrooms. Younger children, specifically those ages 3 to 4, benefit most when learning from one another rather than an instructor. Through observation, age-appropriate materials, and self-paced learning, preschoolers are able to develop skills, learn appropriate behavior, and understand appropriate classroom conduct.
The Montessori method of teaching promotes feedback as reinforcement and motivation for future development. In a mixed age classroom environment, preschoolers model older students to better their skills. By working individually and in partners or teams, preschoolers learn to work together to accomplish tasks.
Children thrive by further establishing their independence and by learning about nutrition, manners, positive learning and social habits, and how to care for both themselves and their environment. This better prepares them for future growth either in our kindergarten program or elsewhere.
For over 20 years, we’ve served the Eden Prairie community with part-time and all day preschool as well as a multicultural environment where children can learn Spanish as a second language. Our Casas each include 1 Montessori instructor and 2 assistant teachers, along with 24 preschool and Kindergarten students.
To schedule a tour of our facility and learn more about our Casas, contact us at 952-944-8466. We look forward to welcoming your preschooler and the rest of your family into our community!
Miranda joined us in July of 2017 to lead our Casa 1 classroom. She received her diploma from the Montessori Training Center of Minnesota in 2015 and has been working as a lead teacher ever since. She is working on her BA in Psychology to aid her in her teaching journey. She and her husband Jonathan have been married for 5 years and together they have 2 boys. She enjoys reading, cleaning and organizing!
Fun Fact: Miranda was completely set on becoming a nurse before discovering her passion for Montessori education!
Tanna first joined us in May of 2014. During the 2017-2018 school year she completed the Primary Montessori Diploma at the Montessori Training Center of Minnesota and returned to us in June of 2018 to lead the Casa 2 classroom! Tanna has additional education in both biochemistry and psychology. She has two children- a son and daughter- and is married to her husband Mike. She speaks Navajo and is learning Spanish! Her love of animals and insects is apparent in her classroom and home with all her pets, but don’t expect to an ant farm! It’s the one insect she hates!
Fun Fact: Tanna grew up in Arizona without running water or electricity.
Shyami started at Eden Prairie Montessori North in November of 2003. She holds a Montessori Diploma from Havelock Gardens Training Center for the Montessori Method in Sri Lanka, as well as a Preschool Education Diploma and a Bachelor’s of Science degree. With over 30 years of experience working with children, you can trust that your little one is in good and loving hands. She was the well-loved lead Infant teacher at our North location for 10 years and decided it was time to get back into a preschool classroom.
Fun Fact: Shyami loves to travel and has been such areas as the UK, Thailand, Singapore, the Maldives Islands and the United Arab Emirates (among others)!

The history of waste is as old as mankind - only the quantity and mode of waste production have changed. The first garbage was from leftover food waste and faeces. Stone Age people buried their waste or piled up big heaps of rubbish and burned them occasionally.
According to archaeologists, during the 3rd Millennium BC, the inhabitants of large towns like Mesopotamia were literally bogged down in waste. With construction of larger settlements, first organized waste disposal was developed. The Romans go down in history with their water and sewage systems called "Cloaka Maxima". A selected range of households were connected at their own expense. Commercial companies were paid from a special municipal tax to clean the wastewater system, using slaves.
One of the famous old antique refuse dumps is the "Monte". This "Eighth hill of Rome" is 45 meters high, with a diameter of 1,000 meters and contains uncountable broken fragments of ancient amphorae (clay pot), used for transporting oil and grain from the provinces into the city.
In the Middle Ages this method fell into oblivion, along with many of the Roman inventions. Faeces and waste were simply dumped in front of the house on the street. Pigs were used in order to eliminate organic waste in the streets, but also they contributed to the pollution, which caused many diseases, including plague and cholera.
Only when the importance of hygiene in epidemic plagues was perceived, the construction of waste disposal systems and watering sewerages began.
At the beginning of the 15th century, a controlled disposal of waste in cities of the size of Hamburg (about 20,000 citizens at that time) commenced. Prisoners were deployed to take the waste as fertilizer to the fields. From the beginning of industrialization, the quantity of waste produced rapidly increased.
At the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century; public health became increasingly important. To get the ever increasing quantities of garbage under control, garbage dumps were built. The first waste incinerator plants were developed at the end of the 19th century in London.
On the banks of the Tiber,the Monte Testaccio, also known as the third hill of Rome, is an artificial mound built almost entirely of fragments of broken amphorae dating back to the time of the Roman Empire. Rome’s ancient landfill covers an area of about 20,000 m² and is over 35 meters high, made of fragments from an estimated 53 million amphorae - each one labeled with the name of the producer, the year and the quality of the oil.
4,532 kg total wastes produced per capita and year, that equals 87kg of waste per person per week!
Only within the last few decades, the way of handling waste has changed. Through legislation and environmental awareness, the amount of produce should be minimized, before recycling.
Plans provide that in coming decades the amount of (not utilisable) garbage, which is disposed on landfills will be reduced to zero.
In Germany most of the garbage was dumped on about 50,000 uncontrolled landfills since the start of the 19th Century.
Today, in Germany there are only about 2,000 controlled landfills. Since 1935, a nearly comprehensive public waste disposal system has been available in Germany. This waste is either recycled or disposed. Hazardous waste such as sewage, toxic chemicals, heavy metals or radioactive substances, represent a danger to humans and environment; their disposal is subject to specific statutory provisions.
Beside many other countries, the Federal German industrial and consumer society disposesa total of 372.667.000 tons (in 2006) of waste per year, containing 46,426,000 tons of household waste and 23,211.000 tons of hazardous waste. Prescribed under the law, 250,000 employees provide the proper disposal of this pile of garbage. With an annual turnover of around 50 Billion Euro, the waste management is also an important sector of industry.
The European law defines waste as any movable belonging, which the holder is going to discard. The EU-wide list of wastes currently knows exactly 839 types of waste, which are divided into two groups: non-hazardous and hazardous waste.
Worldwide, about 130 million tonnes of waste are produced every day. Our groundwater is poisoned, our air polluted and 80,000 different hazardous substances and heavy metals get into the food cycle every second with growing tendency. "The excessive consumption especially in the industrialised countries, are resulting in more and more waste. If this does not change, the amount of waste will increase four-to fivefold by the year 2025 "(Agenda 21, Chapter 20 and 21).
This battle for waste material results in enormous costs that nobody wants to pay. One of the outcomes of this issue is the dumping of waste onto poor countries, who receive a fraction of the money that it would cost to dispose of this waste properly. Manufacturing a plastic cup or packaging for a chocolate bar only takes a few seconds and is easily dumped after it is finished - it will remain in this condition for centuries.
A plastic bag takes 400 years to decompose.
These 600 billion plastic bags are produced with high energy costs, valuable raw materials are consumed unnecessarily.
All electrical and electronic equipment contains toxic pollutants; limited raw materials are consumed. This scrap heap increases daily in large dimensions.
Tens of thousands whales, seals and turtles die every year, because they swallow plastic bags.

I never imagined that I would ever be writing a post about a visit to Beijing. The trip was made mainly to quell any doubts or misgivings I had about allowing my daughter to take up a position in a place which to me was as foreign as saying I am Spanish and can speak German. I was both excited and apprehensive as we got on to the plane and kept telling myself that if my daughter has not expressed any doubts or has had any misgivings about her decision to accept the position, then why should I be so negative.
Anyway, after an uneventful 5-1/2 hour flight, we arrived at an Airport that is so massive and modern - and I thought we had state of the art, ultra modern terminals in Singapore - that we had to take a train to the baggage collection terminal. Once that was done, we went thru' immigration without much hassle even though neither me or my husband speak the language.
The best part of the journey was the cabbie speaking in his guttural Mandarin and my husband nodding his head and then saying in his best Mandarin - "sorry I don't speak Mandarin"....even I understood that much. The worst part was when the cabbie took his eyes off the road to check out this Chinese man in the passenger seat claiming not to know the language! I was thinking "Mr.....please keep your eyes on the road and your heavy foot off the accelerator"
We reached our daughter's apartment in record breaking time. It took us an hour yesterday to reach the airport from exactly the same spot the cabbie dropped us off and that journey took only 35 minutes!! We could of course blame traffic conditions yesterday as opposed to clear roads at 7 am!
From the airport to the road trip to her apartment, I was nothing short of amazed! In my small mindedness I imagined a really backward community with little shops and street vendors! Nothing could be further from the truth! Everything you can find in Singapore, is replicated in Beijing but mega times larger! Capital Land features big time over there so there's a Raffles City, there's Bread Talk, Crystal Jade, Guardian Pharmacy (Mannings)Food Republic.........anything and I mean everything we can get here, is available there! We don't have H & M in Singapore but its mega huge in Beijing! A very popular store is Zara....every mall has a Zara and not just one or two shop spaces but probably 10 shops spaces and more than one level!
The difference between Singapore and Beijing, apart from the size are the prices! Very, very affordable. There is only one size of food when you order - XXL! I am not a fan of authentic Beijing cuisine as its oily and salty but you can get any cuisine you desire and at extremely reasonable prices even at upmarket joints. I learnt a new term from my daughter "mystery meat". We don't really want to know what that is but you can guess. What I dislike immensely is the fact that they allow smoking in many eateries! Every man, his companion and their dog, are seldom caught without a lighted cigeratte. I am ultra sensitive to allergens in smoke and after the 3rd day, my allergic rhinitis developed into a really horrid cough and cold. Thankfully that was after we did the major stuff we planned to do - like climb the Great Wall - just part of it as I'd have surely ended up on a stretcher if I attempted to complete the entire stretch that we had chosen to climb. We went to the Great Wall at Badaling which is the most representative part and promoted as a key national relic. It was breathtaking and almost emotional to have done something like that, for me at any rate as I am such a pessimist when trying new things that I will always look for the negative side before finding the positive. Due to the altitude and incline of the stretch that we chose to climb, I had to actually hold tight to the railing at the side as the winds were really strong and I kept feeling myself swaying and being pushed backwards. To be sure it wasn't just my imagination, I saw other people going thru' the same thing I did!
We also visited Tiananmen Square, travelled on the subway, which is a major experience in itself! We realised then that our daughter has to change subway lines 3 times before she reaches her office which is just a 40 minute walk away! If she takes a cab it could take her over an hour because traffic in Beijing is not something you can easily get used to! One hand on the steering, other hand on the horn! Traffic turning right at pedestrian crossings have right of way over pedestrians! Most times, traffic is at a standstill and its a system I'll never understand or even try to understand! Whilst I am now confident that Beijing is a safe place to be at if you're alert and responsible I can't say the same thing about being a pedestrian in Beijing! Life appears to be cheap and everyone is in such a hurry so who dares, wins!
In Singapore, we queue for everything and are appalled when someone jumps queue or pushes but nobody observes any sort of courtesy at their subway stations! If you don't push your way out, you get pushed all the way back into the train and miss your stop. Survival of the fittest. The good thing is the train driver comes out of his cabin and only sounds the 'alarm' when everybody is safely inside and doors are shut and then he moves on. Hopefully the drivers are constantly alert! Bags and packages all go thru' a scanner before you are allowed to the turnstiles. I love it when I see tight security being enforced. Yes, I did say I'm a pessimist. I am cynical too.
Its hard to tell a policeman from a soldier from a security guard.........they all wear uniforms that look officious and commanding. However, when you come up close enough you will realise that many of them are very, very young boys in oversized uniforms. On several occassions when my husband and I were on our own and looking thru' a map or trying to figure out if we were at the right subway station, someone would come up to us and say "can I help you". I found that very comforting. Even if they didn't know they would make an effort to find out.
Whilst I managed the Great Wall, the subways and their mad traffic, I did manage to get lost in a supermarket! I went in alone whilst my husband was at a cafe on another level. We were waiting for our daughter to finish work and then she was taking us for dinner at HouHai to celebrate my husband's birthday. When I got a call from my daughter whilst in the supermarket to say we could go across to her office as the driver was arriving earlier than scheduled to take us to HouHai for dinner, I panicked and instead of backtracking I went deeper and deeper into the supermarket. I was actually running from floor to floor and they were all just looking at me thinking "Oh goodness, there's a mad laowai running thru' our store".
When I made an appearance, from my flushed face, my husband knew that something had happened and all he did was shake his head because he knows me too well. I am panic queen first class!
In the 5 days we were there, we got to see and experience things we'd never have been able to if we had joined a tour or travelled there on our own. Charlene did an excellent job of researching places and things for us to see and try. How could anyone go to Beijing and not visit Alien Street (Russian Market) or the Silk Market! I was wary of Alien Street - locked in a sort of time warp or maybe its just me and how I see things. This is a multi level 'market' (something like our old People's Park) with fashion catering mainly to the Russian market. Lots of 'spandex' type knit tops with blings galore. Animal prints are big on that side too.
Then we move on to the Silk market. This is a fantastic place to buy your bedding needs. Ultra soft quilts, comforters, doonas and bed linen. Of course there's a floor dominated by Pirate Central - any brand name shoes or bags and the sales personnel are persistent - In a deep drawl " ladyy....you wanna handbag....any brand...you wan LV" and an album is thrust in front of your face, Tods, Bottega, Hermes.......all this whilst they hold on tight to your arm or wrist. Now I am all for being nice and huggy huggy but this is a little much even for me. My daughter said "no eye contact mum, just walk on" but they still would grab my pudgy little arm.....out of frustration, I stopped at one shop, removed the sales assistant's stronghold and said "Do you have "Abberderscanges" brand and she replied "Yes", so I asked "what colors do you have?" and thats when their comrades from the other shops were called in - basically they were asking one another "what the shiatz does this mad laowai want?" yet they cooly replied "what color you wan?" so I said "a whiter shade of pale" and they replied, "white, yes have white" but nobody was moving to get me my white Abberderscanges and with that I was able to walk away as they probably reported back to their comrades that there's a new brand out in the market which Pirate Central hasn't brought in yet! Russians and visitors from Ukraine are mega big time shoppers of 'certified copies'. The sales assistants are fantastic. They switch from Mandarin to English to Russian just like how I switch from talking about food to talking about outer space....all in one breath!
I know that big name fashion houses get their stuff stitched and assembled in China but the copies are so close to the original that I have to marvel at their craftsmanship and their quality when they do their copies that might just happen to fall off the back of an original Burberry truck! The laowais from Russia were buying Ralph Lauren jackets, fully lined, excellent quality, logo, tags, string in the the correct color hanging off a button proudly proclaiming it to be an original and costing less than 100 yuan or approx S$20!
On the subject of fashion, the young working class women are almost always well dressed. One morning we had to join the rush and were at the subway station taking the train into the CBD, with the exception of a few fashion faux pas, the majority of the women dress with taste. No scruffy board shorts (of course its Autumn and that would be inappropriate street wear) or short shorts and slippers but fashionable and appropriate attire.
What exciting stories! I was just going to ask about your trip and here you've blogged all about it. Reading it most fervently and trying to experience the BJ now compared to the one I know years ago!

A surprise comment Monday by Mayor Tedd Wallace pushed the focus off McHattie Park in downtown South Lyon as a possible location for a regional recreation center.
Instead, land at Dixboro and 10 Mile roads on the western edge of the city again is a possibility. The Dixboro property was one of 12 sites the committee originally considered when looking for potential locations for a proposed center. The committee and the property owner couldn’t agree on a price, said Mike Kramer, recreation advisory committee chair, so that plan was abandoned a while ago.
The committee had narrowed its focus to building a recreation center on the northeast corner of McHattie Park, and discussion at Monday’s City Council meeting focused around that. After a lengthy discussion on the McHattie location, Wallace said the Dixboro property owner told him earlier in the day he was interested in renegotiating a sale price with the recreation advisory committee.
Instead of getting a green light to begin feasibility studies on the McHattie property, the committee will review buying the Dixboro land.
“We’re frustrated, but we’re going to keep going,” Kramer said.
Residents from South Lyon, Lyon Township and Green Oak attended the meeting. Some were in favor of the recreation center at McHattie Park and others were against. As planned, the recreation center plan would service residents in all three of those communities.
After looking at possible sites in the area, committee members, which include representatives from each community, decided McHattie Park was the most feasible, Kramer said.
Benefits of that plan include: the city owns the property, utilities are available, proximity to five schools and its location near businesses that could benefit from the increased traffic in the area.
Adding to the traffic problem, however, is a major concern among many, because McHattie Park abuts Pontiac Trail, which is already congested, especially during rush hour. Cindy Walton, a 40-year South Lyon resident, was among those who wanted McHattie Park to remain the way it is and she wanted the review committee to present other site proposals.
If built at McHattie Park, an existing sledding hill and two ball diamonds would remain, said Scott Black, a South Lyon resident and architect involved on the committee.
Councilman Joe Ryzyi said he wasn’t convinced McHattie is the right spot. He has been active on social media voicing his concerns with building a recreation center.
Councilman Harvey Weddell noted the recreation committee has “done a significant body of work to get us here. I’m afraid if we don’t resolve this today the whole thing stops and anything we’ve accomplished is for naught.” Ultimately the issue was tabled while the recreation committee negotiates on possibly purchasing the site at Dixboro Road.
Deciding on a location, however, is the “tip of the iceberg” and one of many recreation center issues. Funding is a major issue. Kramer said he expects a tax increase request will be on the November 2016 ballot. Residents in all three communities would need to approve the measure. Originally the committee members had suggested a price tag around $20 million, but estimates have been about $30 million more recently.
Wallace said showing support for the recreation center “doesn’t commit us. This gives them that stepping stone” to go to the next level.
An informal recreation center survey prompted about 1,000 responses. Of those, 82 percent said they wanted a pool, 73 percent said they preferred workout and gym facilities and 62 percent favored including a running track. While nothing has been decided, preliminary plans include an outdoor splash park, an indoor pool, basketball courts, a workout facility, areas to display art and banquet rooms.
Councilman Glenn Kivell wanted budget estimates and a conceptual design. Kramer said he was looking for council support before spending money for studies on traffic, parking, utilities and amenities.

This is the eighth in a series of posts that focuses on the Sundays of Great Lent (and Holy Week and Pascha). Each week we will share ideas of ways to help your Sunday Church School students learn more about that particular Sunday’s focus. We will share each blog early, so that you have time to read it before the forthcoming Sunday, in case you find any of those ideas helpful for your particular class.
On this sixth Sunday of Great Lent, we will be celebrating Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem as we prepare to enter into Holy Week. We usually refer to this feast as the Entrance of Our Lord into Jerusalem, but we also call it Palm Sunday.
From the beginning of time, victorious kings have ridden joyously into their home cities after battle, surrounded by cheering crowds celebrating their success. The celebrations have changed over the years, but at the time of Christ, such a parade would have included palm branches being waved and laid on the road.
As we look at St. Matthew’s account of Christ’s triumphal entry, we see that this is exactly the kind of welcome our Lord received as He entered Jerusalem. We know that Jesus is not just a King, but the King of Kings, but at the time, not everyone knew or accepted Him as such. However, when He raised Lazarus from the dead, word got around about that great miracle, and He was welcomed into Jerusalem with palm branches being waved and set on the ground; and some people even lay their cloaks on the ground to welcome Him.
Not only did they act in these king-welcoming ways, but the people also loudly proclaimed who He is. They said, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD! Hosanna in the highest!” (Matt. 21:9) All this commotion caught the eye of the entire city, and other people started asking, “Who is this guy?” and they heard that it was Jesus, the prophet who came from Nazareth in Galilee.
We know why He is coming; what He is coming to do. How much more should we welcome Him? After all, we know that He is not only a great Healer/Wonderworker, but that He is the very God Himself, incarnate! Let us therefore welcome Him with adoration and honor into our parish on this special day. It is right that we do this! However, we should be welcoming Him in the same way every day into our own life and heart. We can allow this Holy Week which lies ahead to help us begin to properly do so.
before Thy Passion, didst confirm the universal resurrection.

The Antiochian Orthodox Department of Christian Education’s Staff Assistant for Social Networking, Kristina Wenger, shares some of her side of the story behind the book which she co-authored with her friend Elissa Bjeletich, as well as a few gleanings from the book itself.
I was tired. The previous twelve months had drained me. They included a failed business endeavor and the ensuing financial strains; the engagement and marriage of our daughter to our wonderful son-in-law; both kids moving out of our home; 3 trips to other parts of the country to help them get settled (one of them moved twice); additional responsibilities at work to be completed in the same amount of work time; and then an extended illness over Christmas. I felt that I had nothing left to give to the world when this invitation came.
But it came, and I was a little star-struck, to be honest. I had admired Elissa’s work from afar for years, and was tickled to have actually met her in person. And then she reached out and asked me to help her? Unthinkable, and yet there it was! So I stretched through my exhaustion and considered her invitation. How could I say no? Although I was depleted, I knew this project would be good for my soul and I wanted to work with Elissa. So, empty but honored, I accepted, and then the work began.
And it was work. In one month’s time, we chose a name, pitched to Ancient Faith Radio the idea of a podcast special for families, were granted approval, created a website, and wrote and recorded the first three weeks’ worth of daily Lenten meditations. For each episode, we brainstormed together, and shared the writing (Elissa did the bulk of it, thank God: she has more writing experience than I). Early on, we decided that it would be best to offer each meditation at two levels, one for older children and one for younger ones. We each recorded a level for the podcast: Elissa did the older children’s, and I, the younger.
We wrote each meditation with the desire to care for – and encourage – growth in the garden of our own hearts, praying that somehow God would bless our efforts and allow others to grow along with us. We resonate well with St. John Chrysostom’s exhortation, “Fasting is wonderful because it tramples our sins like a dirty weed, while it cultivates and raises truth like a flower.” We hope that our writing will help readers to embrace such an attitude about fasting (and Great Lent in general), so that truth can grow and bloom in their lives.
We continued to work away at the project throughout Lent of 2018, and by the time Holy Week rolled around, we had finally finished. We went from idea to completion in 2 and a half months (Pascha was only 83 days after Elissa extended the invitation to me!). By the grace of God, we were able to write and record fifty different meditations, each at two levels, in that time.
As Pascha approached, we did not feel that the project was finished. We had grown so much throughout the experience, and we really enjoy working together. We decided to continue our work with a weekly podcast, and Ancient Faith once again accepted our proposal. The continuing podcast is aimed at whole families, and we record it together each week. You can listen in at https://ancientfaith.com/podcasts/tendingthegarden if you are so inclined.
We thought that perhaps our Lenten meditations could become a book, so we approached Ancient Faith Publishing, proposing the idea. They accepted our proposal, so we began adapting and rewriting the older children’s version in a way that would work for entire families to read and discuss together. This book is the result.
“Tending the Garden of Our Hearts: Daily Lenten Meditations for Families” offers one meditation each day for every day of Great Lent and Holy Week, including a final meditation for Pascha. Each week is themed as follows: Forgiveness, Orthodoxy, Prayer, The Cross/Humility, The Ladder/Almsgiving, Fasting/St. Mary of Egypt, and Holy Week and Pascha. (We loosely based our themes on this calendar of lenten activities which I wrote several years ago: https://orthodoxchristianparenting.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/great_lent_and_holy_week_activity_calendar.pdf.) Beginning each Sunday, every day’s meditation relates in some way to the theme for the week. Some days feature a scripture and thoughts on that scripture. On other days, we learn from the life of a saint. Every meditation concludes with a few questions, then a discussion question that allows the readers to make the book their own by talking together about how to apply that day’s lesson.
The book concludes with a fairly extensive appendix of related ideas for each week’s theme. There are craft and activity suggestions that could be done every week, if the readers are so inclined. The appendix begins with suggestions of ways to count down to Pascha. These countdown ideas are intended to help solidify and mark the passage of time in a way that can help young children for whom time is rather nebulous. Following those suggestions are ideas centered around each theme. As we say in the book, some weeks the reader might want to (and have time to) do some of these things. Other times, they will not. Readers will know which (if any) of these ideas will help their family, and can use the appendix accordingly. At our website, there are a few printable pages and supplemental resources related to some of these ideas. They can be found at https://tending-the-garden.com/supplemental-resources-for-the-book-tending-the-garden-of-our-hearts-daily-lenten-meditations-for-families/.
I am so grateful to God for His mercy and strength that extends beyond our exhaustion. Perhaps it is when we are most depleted that we are best able to allow Him to work in and through our lives. Certainly it is then that we know His kindness, for He extends grace when we feel that we have nothing left to give. This book (and the project as a whole) is evidence of that, for me. The project was a lot of work, but for me personally, it has also been incredibly restorative and helpful. Glory to God!
I want to thank Elissa for inviting me on this journey with her. Together we invite you and your family to join us, and grow alongside us. It is our prayer that “Tending the Garden of Our Hearts: Daily Lenten Meditations for Families” will be a help to those families who read it throughout Great Lent.
Although the book is written for families to share and walk through together, we are sharing it with the Sunday Church School community for two reasons: 1. It would make a great (very early!) Pascha gift for your Sunday Church School students to share with their family. 2. If you as a Sunday Church School teacher read through the book, perhaps some of the meditations will inspire you. It could be that some of them could be used in Sunday Church School as part of a lesson.

This series of blog posts will offer basic information and resources regarding the liturgical year. It is our hope that Sunday Church School teachers will find this series helpful as they live the liturgical year with their students. The series will follow the church year in sections, as divided in the book “The Year of Grace of the Lord: a Scriptural and Liturgical Commentary on the Calendar of the Orthodox Church” by a monk of the Eastern Church. May God bless His Church throughout this year!
Holy Week is often called such because of the great and holy events in the week (1), but “in the Orthodox Church the last week of Christ’s life is officially called ‘Passion Week.’”(2, p. 88) Passion Week is immediately preceded by Lazarus Saturday and Palm Sunday. We are including those days in this discussion of the week, since they are an integral part of the last week of our Lord’s life on earth before His death and resurrection.
then Thou didst destroy hell with Thy Godly power.
O Christ, Thou giver of life, glory to Thee!
Purchase your own copy of “The Year of Grace of the Lord,” by a monk of the Eastern Church, here: https://www.svspress.com/year-of-grace-of-the-lord-the/ This book, quoted above, will be an excellent resource for you to read and learn from, throughout the Church year.

I went on to ask Hope if there were parts of the book that she could relate to, and she said “Yes…” So I asked her which parts of the story she could relate to. She said, “Well, sometimes I get bored in church, too…” and went on to explain that she can understand how that felt to Abigail. She also said that she could relate to Abigail’s feelings at Pascha, when Abigail felt hot and cramped. Hope said that, like Abigail, she’s also not a crowd person and also, she is not hungry when she’s tired — just like Abigail.
I then asked an all-encompassing question about the theme of the book. I wondered what Hope thinks that the author, Grace Brooks, was trying to say with this story. What does Hope think is the book’s message? She give me two excellent answers: “If you set your mind to something and if you work hard you can achieve it… And no matter how much you dislike something or someone, in the end you may find that you actually love them.” Both answers were insightful. Sage words, coming from a 10-year-old.
So, as I had expected, Hope liked the book. She could relate to the characters and enjoyed learning along with them. Her experience with the story was similar to mine, and I am glad. But you’ll recall that I mentioned two reasons for this blog post, and you may be wondering about the second.
Well, the second reason I am posting about this book right now is all about timing. In a matter of weeks we will be in Great Lent again! You may want to get this book to share with an Orthodox youngster of your own, so that he/she can read it during Great Lent this year! Or perhaps you personally want to follow the related blog posts as the weeks go by: they are very challenging and encouraging for Orthodox Christians of any age! Or maybe you just want to read the book yourself, for your own growth. We’re sharing this blog post now because both Hope and I want to give you plenty of time so that you can do any (or all!) of the above!
Taking one final glimpse at my interview with Hope, my final question for her was whether or not she would be willing to read a sequel when it comes out? She answered with a resounding, “YES!.” So now there are TWO of us eagerly anticipating the second book in the “Every Tuesday Girls Club!” Our guess is that if you and/or your young Orthodox friends get a chance to read “Queen Abigail the Wise,” you will feel the same way. We certainly hope so!
Follow along on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/QueenAbigailtheWise/ for a variety of interesting posts including fresh creations by “Queen Abigail the Wise” author Grace Brooks, new blog posts that she writes, and other interesting things that she finds online and shares which are enjoyable to children and adults alike!
Consider reading your way through “Queen Abigail the Wise” bit by bit, meditating on these wonderful blog posts by author Grace Brooks. http://queenabigail.com/2016/07/20/reading-through-queen-abigail-with-me/ Perhaps you can do this with a young friend, or even an entire Sunday Church School Class, throughout the course of Great Lent. Consider using these “Abigail” notebooks to document your learning along the way: http://www.cafepress.com/+queen_abigail_the_wise_journal,1908228623!

I am an adult, but I freely admit that I love children’s literature. I have always enjoyed a good story, especially one with takeaway value whether in the overall story, the ethical choices of the story’s characters, or the lessons that they learn along the way. “Queen Abigail the Wise” offers all three: it is a package deal. The storyline is filled with the ups and downs of a very realistic Orthodox Christian girl, Abigail, as she lives her life during one Lenten season. Each of the main characters – the girls in the Every Tuesday Girls Club – have struggles, but they are determined to do their best, and the reader is invited along for the ride. Throughout the book there are many lessons learned, as well! Many chapters of the story contain their own mini-lessons, but the story is told so effectively that the reader doesn’t even notice that they are learning.
This book does an excellent job of presenting the Orthodox Christian life as real, applicable, and desirable for modern day girls. The charming illustrations enhance the storyline, adding delight to the story itself (and tempting this reader to break out her colored pencils!). The saints whose lives are appropriately introduced throughout the story are presented realistically, and the things that the characters learn from both the saints and the scriptures are relevant for life. Each of the girls in the Every Tuesday Girls Club is very different from all of the others, yet they interact with the Faith and each other in a genuine manner. This means they sometimes get along and sometimes they are just being, well, pre-teen American girls! The characters are so believable that the reader steps away from the story feeling like she has several new young friends.
I have a daughter who will soon turn 20. She has always loved to read, and has loved the Church and her girlfriends at church. Like Abigail and her friends, my daughter and hers have not always gotten along at every step of their journey, but they have learned together and grown closer to God along the way. To be honest, I wish I had this book ten years ago. She would have inhaled it, learned a lot, and shared it with her friends. And she probably would have made up a song about it. But I won’t say more about that: I don’t want to spoil the story for anyone who hasn’t read it yet!
Since I have the book now, instead, I will just have to share it with my 10-year-old goddaughter… so we can BOTH wait impatiently for the second in the series!

Words to ponder from p. 264: “For the girls to walk in such sweet and simple harmony was more touching than they new. It had been a hard year at St. Michael the Archangel Church. There had been a lot of arguments and problems that had to get solved that year, and some people worried that they would never stop fussing and carrying grudges. But if the daughters of the Murphys, Peasles and Jenkinses could go along together, then maybe they could as well. If Abigail Alverson and Vanessa Taybeck could walk hand in hand, then really anything was possible.
Insights to ponder: “Whether we grew up Christian or not, chances are we were hearing the story of Jesus Christ’s life and death from the time we were young. We probably heard Christian claims that this man, who declared Himself to be the Son of God, died for us and rose from the dead. But do we really try to take that in? Do we let ourselves be amazed, as a child would be amazed?

Holy Week is a wonderful, special week for Orthodox Christians. It is also filled with long services that can be challenging to anyone, but especially to young children. This post offers suggestions for Holy Week that can be helpful for children of different ages. There are many ideas here, ranging from activities to do together as a Sunday Church School class to ways to help your students understand the services to crafty things you can do together to prepare for/learn about the week.
May these ideas help us to better love our Lord and each other throughout Holy Week. May we live this week together as a Church family, in awe of His compassion and mercy, and in gratitude for His great gift to us. May all that we do during Holy Week prepare us to celebrate His holy resurrection!

H 115 Art and Music History and Theory I (3 credits). No Prerequisites. This course is designed as an introduction to the basic concepts of art and music, and to their development from Antiquity up through the High Middle Ages (11th century). While the history of art and music will be presented in their respective progression, common underlying aesthetic and ideological principles are identified and reflected upon in order to evaluate and appreciate better the patrimony and the impact which the visual arts and music exert on man. In particular, for painting, sculpture, and architecture the following periods are dealt with: Pre-History, Ancient Near East, Egypt, Crete, Mycenae, Greece, Rome, early Christianity, Byzantium, Pre-Romanesque, and Romanesque. Each period and artistic style is placed within the socio-cultural context of the epoch, emphasizing underlying ideas and beliefs. The most representative works of art in each period are presented; primary texts about art and aesthetics, with particular regard to the historiographical methodology for art history, are also discussed. A guided visit to the Yale Gallery of Art in New Haven and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston provide firsthand experience of the material covered in class. For music, a general introduction into music theory is provided, including the question of the value of music in its aesthetical and ethical dimension, with a special emphasis on the authors of antiquity. The historical account is initiated with musical documents from Antiquity and carried forward until the dawn of polyphony. Taught by Mrs. Louise Joyner and Fr. Andreas Kramarz, LC.
H 216 Art and Music History and Theory II (3 credits). Prerequisite: H 115. This course builds on the previous one and includes a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (NY). It, too, follows a socio-historical presentation of painting, sculpture, and architecture during the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Neo-Classical and Romantic periods. The seminar provides the venue to discuss the most representative artists and their works. For music, the historical survey continues with music from the Renaissance, the Baroque, the Classical and Romantic periods. After the appropriate introductions, students are given the opportunity to listen to pieces by the major composers and analyze the characteristics of their principal works. Taught by Mrs. Louise Joyner and Fr. Andreas Kramarz, LC.
H 317 Art and Music History and Theory III (3 credits). Prerequisite: H 216. This course builds on the ones from last year and, with the same class methodology and dynamics, carries the historical survey and reflection forward from Mannerism, Baroque, Rococo, Neo-Classicism to Romanticism. Particular attention will be paid to the growing importance during this period of art criticism, the impact of museology and art historical-methodologies. Monthly museum visits will intensify the personal exposure to artworks of various collections available in New England. Music history focuses on the periods of Classics (Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven) and the Romantic age in its international ramifications. The exposition of composers and their works is backed up by insights into the cultural and especially ideological circumstances of the time. Taught by Louise Joyner and Fr. Andreas Kramarz, LC.
H 418 Art and Music History and Theory IV (3 credits). Prerequisite: H 317. This course concludes the socio-historical survey of art and music, specializing in twentieth-century and contemporary art and music. It includes—in art—Impressionism, Expressionism, Futurism, Cubism, Abstraction, Pop Art, and New Realism; and—in music—the development of atonal, serial, and experimental music, ending with a section on sacred music throughout the past century. Seminar discussions, museum and concert visits bring to life the theoretical principles and the historical account provided in the lectures. The course culminates in a panoramic overview of the whole arc of artistic development and elucidates interlocking trends between the arts and other areas of culture. Taught by Mrs. Louise Joyner and Fr. Andreas Kramarz, LC.
H 125 Western Literature I (3 credits). No prerequisites. In this course, students read, analyze and discuss selected works from ancient authors.

A weekly seminar period is dedicated to Virgil’s Aeneid, with students reading the entire work and preparing a presentation on a specific topic. A discussion of major themes and topics—such as literary devices, ideas and intuitions regarding human nature—follows each presentation. Taught by Baltazar López, with the seminar groups being directed by Baltazar López, Jesús Guerrero, Bob Murphy, and Fr. Miguel Ángel de la Torre, LC.
H 226 Western Literature II (3 credits). Prerequisite: H125. This course entails reading, analysis, and discussion of selected works from medieval and renaissance authors.

Miguel Ángel de la Torre, LC.
H 448 Currents of Contemporary Culture: Analysis and Response (2 credits). Prerequisite: SS 327 Western Civilization III. In order to be able to dialogue in a meaningful and effective way with people of our time, students will study relevant texts and articles in order to analyze, understand, discuss, and evaluate not only the main manifestations of contemporary cultural trends but also their origins. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to, LGBTQ, feminism, New Age “spirituality”, globalization, social media, the role of music, populism and neo-nationalism, generational issues (Gen X, Millennials), and what Pope Benedict XVI indicates with the term of “dictatorship of relativism.” These phenomena will be studied in preparation for evangelizing in the modern world.
H 458 Adveniat Regnum Tuum! Art as a Legionary Apostolate (2 credits). Prerequisite: H317. This elective course builds on those from the previous three semesters of art history survey by taking a deeper look at a wide array of ecclesiastical monuments from a theological perspective. The first portion of this course will offer a historical survey and reflection focusing on Sacred Art and Architecture through the lens of Church History. The sacramental nature of Sacred Art, its catechetical use, and its place within the context of spirituality, will be studied and reflected upon in light of primary sources. Church architecture, both modern construction and historic restorations, will be evaluated in terms ecclesiastical norms with the goal of discernment for beauty. As both the Legionary motto and the title for this course suggest, the many forms which art can, and has, assumed as an efficacious apostolate for the New Evangelization will be explored in the face of contemporary culture. The methodology for this elective course will be a seminar that includes a combination of lecture and group discussion format. Taught by Louise Joyner.
H 468 Athetics Ancient and Modern (2 credits). Athletic contest, agón, has been central to our culture from its origins. This course will study athletics ancient and modern, drawing from literary, archaeological, art historical, and video evidence. The first part of the course will deal with antiquity: topics will include athletics in Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Bronze age Greece; the ancient Olympics and other pan-Hellenic athletic festivals; the pan-Hellenic sanctuaries of Olympia, Delphi, Nemea, and Isthmia; and Roman games and venues and their place in Roman society and political culture. The second part will consider the 19th and 20th centuries: the foundation of the modern Olympic games as an example of Romantic Hellenism, baseball as a chapter in the social history of the United States, the World Cup soccer championship as an arena for international politics. The concluding part will consider philosophical and theological responses to athletics, both negative and positive, from Tertullian (“we hate others without cause and rejoice in achievements not our own”) to Josef Ratzinger/Benedict XVI (“the game is an attempt to return to paradise”). Taught by Dr. Charles Mercier.
L 205 and L 206 Ecclesiastical Latin I and II (2 credits each). Prerequisite: mastery of basic Latin morphology and syntax. The course focuses on analyzing and translating a selection of hymns and prayers from the Catholic Mass and other ceremonies, an introduction to the Latin of the Vulgate, the Church Fathers, and the Medieval Latin of the Doctors of the Church.

Taught by Dr. Timothy Kearns.
L 325 Latin Prose I: Cicero’s Pro Archia (2 credits). Prerequisite: Elementary Latin morphology and syntax. Cicero’s Pro Archia, delivered in 62 A.D. is a masterpiece of ancient rhetoric, which poses a legal issue limited enough for us to get a good grasp of and evaluate, and which also contains an influential passage on the value of the liberal arts. We will read the oration together, construing the Latin carefully, paying attention to Ciceronian techniques of rhetorical artistry, and considering his discussion in the confirmatio section of the speech on the value of humanities study. Taught by Dr. Charles Mercier.
L 326 Latin Prose II: Seneca’s Epistulae Morales and St. Augustine (2 credits). Prerequisite: L 325. This semester continues our survey of Latin prose from Cicero to Augustine.

G 215 and G 216 Biblical Greek and Beyond I and II (2 credits each). Prerequisite: Elementary Greek Grammar. This course offers texts from the New Testament, along with a systematic review of Greek grammar. In addition to identifying relevant aspects of grammar and syntax, students are expected to exegetically read and discuss the significance of each text. The course then adds selections from the Septuagint, and, to link these texts to broader culture, includes some classical Greek texts and other topics of ancient Greece. Students are introduced to more advanced syntactical constructions. Taught by Dr. Timothy Kearns.
G 207 Select New Testament Readings (2 credits). Prerequisite: G 106. This course leads the students in the reading of select New Testament texts, from the order of the simplest to the most complex. Taught by Fr. John Sweeney, LC.
G 217 Selections of Early Christian Greek Texts I (2 credits). Prerequisite: G 216.

An effort is made to explain the biographical background and context of each work presented. Taught by Dr. Timothy Kearns.
G 325 Greek of the New Testament and the Septuagint (2 credits). Prerequisite: Elementary Greek grammar. We will read together selections from the Greek New Testament and the Septuagint (the ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament), reviewing and consolidating our knowledge of koine Greek grammar, morphology, and vocabulary as necessary, while trying to gain some mastery and ease with this kind of Greek. As time allows there will also be other readings of various kinds of Hellenistic Greek. Taught by Dr. Charles Mercier.
G 326 Classical Greek Prose: Plato’s Apology of Socrates (2 credits). Prerequisite: G 325. In the Apology of Socrates, Plato dramatizes the trial of Socrates in Athens in 399 BC some five or ten years after the event.

G 427 Greek Patristic Prose (2 credits). Prerequisite: G 326. Patrology is the study of the life, writings, and teachings of the earliest Christian writers and theologians. The Fathers of the Church defended and explained the faith in times of persecution and establishment, controversy and peace, over the first seven centuries of Christianity.

Taught by Dr. Charles Mercier.
G 318 Selections of Early Christian Greek Texts II (2 credits). Prerequisite: G 217.

An effort is made to explain the biographical background and context of each work presented. Taught by Dr. Timothy Kearns.
G428 Greek Poetry: Homer and Tragedy (2 credits). Prerequisite: G427. . We will read substantial selections from Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. Reading the epics in the original allows us to enter deeply into the Homeric world of thought and culture. We will consider the oral dialect of Homer, in its morphology, vocabulary, and structure, learning some structural linguistics along the way, and gain mastery of the prosody of the hexameter and skill in realizing in performance this fundamental kind of Greek music. We will also consider the significance of oral poetics to human culture. Selections from tragedy, lyric, and Nonnos’ hexameter Paraphrase on the Gospel of John will also be read. The choice of readings can easily accommodate any particular interests and needs of class members. Taught by Dr. Charles Mercier.
SC 207 Euclid’s Elements (3 credits). No prerequisites. This course covers the definitions, postulates, common notions, and all of the propositions in Books I to IV of Euclid’s Elements. Regular tutoring sessions are offered for those students in need of more assistance in learning and applying the subject material. Taught by Bob Murphy.
SC 228 Biology for Bioethics (3 credits). No prerequisites. This course focuses on the themes of biology needed to understand today’s most relevant bioethical questions.

Taught by Dr. Gary Tennyson and Fr. Nicanor Austriaco, OP.
SC 237 Physics for Philosophy (3 credits). Prerequisites: proficiency in mathematics – Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry. This course explores the ideas and ramifications of the greatest minds of natural philosophy: Aristotle, Newton, Einstein, and Heisenberg. Their ideas and principles about the workings of nature are explored and discussed with the purpose of understanding about the way nature works. True understanding does not end with ideas but in a discovery of how nature truly behaves. Students consider various applications and solve problems. Special emphasis is given to modern physics. The professor is available twice a week for a tutorial. Taught by Dr. Heric Flores.
SC 247 The Two Central Theories of Modern Science, Classical and Quantum Mechanics: History and Theory (2 credits). This course outlines the two central theories of modern science, with both history and theory integrated into one method of study: classical mechanics (with its beginnings in Galileo and Newton) and quantum mechanics (arguably the most successful physical theory of all time). Readings and discussions will present the history of the development and its relation to science in the Middle Ages. Problem sets and demonstrations will build up the students’ theoretical understanding, as well as provide ways to understand the original experiments and physical insights. This course treats both theories as simply as possible but formulated at the highest level of contemporary physics; instead of focusing on solving extremely complex problems (as one does in regular physics courses), this course focuses on principles and derivations, on what the math means and what can be built on it. Although the course is heavily mathematical, the only prerequisites are algebra and geometry (especially some knowledge of basic trigonometry); all the rest will be derived. This course is intended for students who love math and are not afraid of it, even if they may not be the best at it. Taught by Dr. Timothy Kearns.
SS 125 Western Civilization I (3 credits). No Prerequisites. This course intends to highlight important aspects that arise within cultures and peoples from ancient cultures down through the end of the early Middle Ages. In the lecture classes, special attention is paid to cultural development with regards to currents of thought in the philosophical, political, and economic fields and their effect on daily life and culture as a whole. Connections are drawn between socio-economic conditions and the progress of the arts and sciences, as well as their place in and effect on the social order. Furthermore, the course intends to provide patterns of judgment and understanding of the present political and cultural situation of the world in view of its roots and causes in previous periods. The seminar seeks to provide the students with exposure to primary sources and encourages them to begin formulating their own opinions about historical events. This course covers readings from early Mesopotamian Civilization to about 1050 A.D. Students are required to read primary sources on a variety of topics, formulate a thesis on each topic, and express that thesis in class discussion. Taught by Dr. Timothy Kearns.
SS 226 Western Civilization II (3 credits). Prerequisite: SS 125. This course is a continuation of World History I and follows the same dynamics. It consists of a discussion of cultures and peoples, predominantly of Western Europe, from the High Middle Ages (1100s) down to the mid-nineteenth century. Taught by Dr. Timothy Kearns, Fr. Andreas Kramarz, LC, and Fr. John Bender, LC.
SS 327 Western Civilization III (3 credits). Prerequisite: SS 226. This course will discuss themes of Western Civilization from the sixteenth century to the turn of the twentieth century. The classes build on the historical account previously studied and analyze underlying questions with the help of source texts in order to gain a more profound understanding of events as listed in the class calendar. Sociopolitical themes such as freedom, revolution, nationalism, imperialism, etc. will be studied in their various historical manifestations and in their relevance for the world of today. The previous source book seminar is now integrated into the general class setting. Taught by Fr. Andreas Kramarz, LC, and Fr. John Bender, LC.
SS 428 Western Civilization IV (3 credits). Prerequisite: SS 327. This course is a discussion of the most important events and trends of 20th century and contemporary history. Review and analysis follow the same parameters as in the previous semester. Taught by Fr. Andreas Kramarz, LC, and Fr. John Bender, LC.
SS 215 Writing (2 credits). No prerequisites. This course presents key concepts and skills needed for the effective communication. After an initial introduction to the art of thinking and logic, the student is presented with elements needed for college-level writing to ensure succinct and powerful writing of descriptive or narrative pieces, explanatory and argumentative essays, articles, and blogs. Taught by Dr. Timothy Kearns.
SS 245 Estilo (2 credits). No prerequisites. This course is designed to help Spanish-speaking students better express themselves in their written native language, with a view to producing articles and essays for a wider audience. This course will be held in Spanish. Taught by Fr. Miguel de la Torre, LC.
SS 236 Communications I (2 credits). No prerequisites. This course presents essential elements of effective public speaking through lectures and analysis of models. Students continuously prepare, deliver, and improve —through classroom feedback— a variety of oral presentations. All participants are divided up in coaching groups for individual practice and review. Taught by Fr. Christopher O’Connor, LC, and Fr. Miguel de la Torre, LC. Coaching sessions by Fr. Christopher O’Connor, LC, Fr. Miguel de la Torre, LC, and Jesús Guerrero.
SS 317 Communications II (1 credit). Prerequisite: SS 236. This course is a workshop where students can put into practice much of the theory learned in the previous year. It includes analysis of models, individual and team exercises, and peer-evaluation. Students also learn how to reframe hot-button issues to foster constructive dialogue. Taught by Fr. Christopher O’Connor, LC, and Fr. Miguel de la Torre, LC. Coaching sessions by Fr. Christopher O’Connor, LC, Fr. Miguel de la Torre, LC, and Jesús Guerrero.
ML 005 and ML 006 Elementary Remedial English I and II / 025 and ML 026 Introduction to English (Remedial) I and II (no credits). These courses, differing according to the level of pre-existing knowledge, are designed to bring non-native English speakers who arrive for the first year of the program to a college level of English. They take place before the beginning of the first semester. Taught by the LVA School of Danbury, CT.
ML 015 and ML 016 Intermediate Remedial English I and II (no credits). This course is designed for non-native English speakers who arrive for the first year of the program and need to continue strengthening their English proficiency. Taught by Mrs. Melanie Sánchez.
ML 028 Spanish I (3 credits). No particular prerequisites. This course is an elective offered to help students acquire an intermediate level of Spanish. Taught by Mrs. Melanie Sánchez.

I recently lost 30 pounds and I ate a lot of chicken. I marinade skinless boneless chicken in lots of diff flavors and eat them on a wrap with veggies. Pizza with chicken and BBQ sauce or fajita flavors and a little 2% cheese is yummy. Good luck to you!
Dice/Chop chicken. Over medium heat heat oil and add chicken, spices and green pepper and onions. Cook until veggies are soft. Grill corn and cut off the cob. Add them and the tomatoes, sauce, broth, and beans. Simmer for 20-25 minutes. To serve, ladle into bowl and top with tortilla strips, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
**I like my chicken breast grilled for even more flavor. Marinade the chicken in spices and grill, then chop. Cook veggies indoors and then mix all the ingredients together.
Mix marinade together and pour into resealable bag that has chicken in. Marinade for the day or even 2.
Cook over DIRECT heat on a grill, skin side down, for 5 minutes. Turn over and cook over INDIRECT heat for 35 minutes. NEVER lifting grill lid. After the time is done check with thermometer to be sure chicken is 165 degrees.
The easiest healthy dinner recipes to me is getting a fish and a fresh vegetable and putting them into a tin foil patch with seasoning and bake until done.
Salt, Pepper, Pam Spray, and anything else you like!
me in the business. I started walking once a day either in the morning or evening (whichever is easier that day). I put the baby in my regular stroller and walk and explore my neighborhood. Keep a fast pace. It’s only about a 15-30 minute walk sometimes but it’s helped me shed.
I sautee green beans, asparagus and even brussel sprouts now with a little sweet onion and garlic.
Put canned albacore/ or chunk tuna on your salads and add things like sliced olives, capers or pickled beets-this will give your salad a kick.
Baked sweet potatoes or yams instead of white potatoes or rice.
butter spray or light spread.
Avocado(s) high in fat but good fat -slice and put on sandwiches and salads in place of meat.
Hummus is another good choice-I like the red roasted pepper.
Spread on tortilla wraps and place fresh or sauteed veggies and eat.
Sardines (yes they smell but they are so good for you) eat these at a meal or sanck-I like a little mustard and some lowfat crackers w/ it.
What about eating brown rice with steam vegetables for the time being.
Brown rice is very filling. You don’t feel hungry easily. Moreover, if you go with steam vegetables like squashes or cabbage, you just need to put the vegetable on top of the rice and cook together. You will be surprise that it taste real sweet, even without seasoning.
Side dish, you may choose other stir-fried vegetables with little strips of meat.
Other than this, you may also consider to eat less sugar. When snacks are needed, just take walnuts. It helps our memories.
Other alternative, maybe you try this?
Mix all together, and serve.
a. Soak rice over night.
a. Soak rice and beans over night.
b. Drain them and add water.
c. Cook for about 1 hour.
Cooking Brown Rice is easy.
You wash and soak the rice for 20 minutes.
Then you pour away the water and fill with new lukewarm water 1.5 cm over the rice surface.
Let it stand for a few hours before you cook.
While cooking, boil it on slow fire afer one boiled, and stir it with a wooden stick or spoon on and off, to avoid sticking to the pot. Otherwise; It is difficult to clean, after cooking. When it happens, just soak the pot in hot wate, till it is soften and wash.
After it is cooked, you will see all holes on the rice surface, then it is ready.
Off fire, cover the lid and keep for 10 minutes before serving.
I hope you will reduce your weight soon.
Apart from fish and chicken why not try some chick pea recipes. They are a cheap low fat low calorie high fibre form of protein. You can substitute them for meat in caseroles. chickpea curry is wonderful (just google the recipe) and you can serve them mixed with vegetables and dried apricots with cous cous flavoured with a veg stock cube and any other seasoning to your taste.
lentils again are a low calorie low fat form of protein. You can make lentil soup. lentil (daal) curry or substitute them partly or wholly for meat in stew and casseroles. you can also make a great lentil and nut roast to substitute for a joint of meat (just google it fot the recipe – and its cheap and feeds the whole family for a fraction of the price pf a joint).
There is nothing wrong with eating lean cuts of pork ot beef on your diet also – it doesn;t have to be just fish or chicken.
Piece of Cod broil with a little margarine and lemon. Season to taste.
Saute some fresh spinach with olive oil and garlic. Season to taste.
Freeze some grapes for dessert.

Ah, the bathroom scale. Nearly every household has one, but the ways we treat them vary wildly. Some people fear the scale, and keep it tucked away behind the toilet. They might bring it out occasionally to settle a bet or to replenish their food guilt stores, but their relationship with the scale is mainly one of fear-driven avoidance – though you can be sure they never fail to sneak a guilty glance or two when brushing their teeth. Still others have a totally different relationship with the bathroom scale, treating it more like an addictive substance. They might weigh themselves daily, or even after every meal or workout, each tick downward giving them hope and each tick upward bringing despair – or it could be the complete opposite, depending on the person’s goals. Now, I don’t mean to disparage the scale itself. It’s a useful tool that gives us an accurate, objective measurement of what is for all intents and purposes an abstraction (without scales giving us actual numbers, most people would have trouble understanding weight as tangible), but we can obsess and overdo it. And when we do that, we lose sight of what eating right and living well is all about.
I never use a scale, myself. I just don’t see the need. Of course, I’ve also never had an issue with excess body fat, so I’ve never really had a reason to obsess over the scale. My time as an endurance athlete could definitely be categorized as obsessive, though, so I can see how a scale obsession could develop for certain folks. And just as my constant, unwavering drive to push the boundaries and run longer distances in shorter time frames eventually became a net negative in terms of health, so too can obsessing over the scale. Daily fluctuations in weight negate most of the progress and obfuscate what eating well should really be about – good health and spirits. I thought I was the spitting image of a fit, healthy athlete (and most observers would have thought the same), but I wasn’t on the inside. You may think you’re maximizing weight loss by maintaining constant scale surveillance, but you’re probably just slowing yourself down.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with using a scale – even on a daily basis (if you can keep a level head about it all). Some people like to maintain that steady vigilance over the body’s metabolic proceedings, and tools like a bathroom scale or FitDay.com are great ways to facilitate that. If you’re trying to lean out and maintain muscle while shedding fat, a scale can give an accurate reading of your daily progress toward that goal. Or if you’ve leaned out completely and have shifted focus to putting on muscle, a scale will help tell the tale. Just be cautious about weighing yourself daily. The body is a complex system, and daily fluctuations in weight are common – both upward and downward. It’s not unusual for a person’s weight to go up or down a few pounds every day, either from water retention/loss, glycogen depletion/storage, or, yes, lean mass production and body fat reduction. Simply looking at the number on a scale tells you little about what’s really going on.
Even the blanket term “weight loss” is problematic, especially in light of the Primal Blueprint . What is weight, exactly? In physics, it is the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on an object. On the Earth’s surface, where gravitational acceleration is pretty much constant (and where most of us tend to weigh ourselves), weight can be described as a proportional description of the amount of mass we’re carrying around. Different types of mass have different weights, though, and the different components of the human body are no exception. Take lean mass versus body fat, for example. Conventional Wisdom gets it right with “muscle weighs more than fat,” but the scale can’t tell the difference. It just takes the whole lot of muscle, bone, skin, fat, and water that make up our bodies and gives us a single, raw number. When you receive that raw number, realize that it’s just that: a number approximating the amount of downward force gravity is exerting upon you. That’s it. It’s not a body fat meter or a lean mass indicator. It’s not a measurement of your body composition . You may be dropping pounds, but what if it’s all muscle?
Another problem is the setting of arbitrary goals. A person will often just seize upon a certain number and obsess over that number, doing anything and everything to reach it. Starvation, post-meal vomiting, chronic cardio – these are all hallmarks of the obsessive-compulsive desire to reach a certain arbitrary weight, lean muscle mass and healthy body markers be damned. Don’t obsess over a number! Listen to your body. If you subscribe to the Primal way of living, you know that the body naturally seeks out homeostasis. Eating the foods we’re evolutionarily designed to eat , making Primal movements , maintaining the right activity levels, and reducing stress helps us achieve that homeostasis. When you live according to Grok’s ways , everything else just falls into place – including your natural, correct body weight. It may even be that you’re healthiest a few pounds heavier . If you don’t obsess over the scale, I bet you’d never even notice the difference.
So to obsess over a number that doesn’t really tell us anything about body composition (the real health marker) is folly. Even worse, riding the emotional rollercoaster of constant weigh-ins can increase stress, interrupt sleep habits, and lead to difficult relationships with food, all of which have an effect on fat gain/loss. And isn’t that what we’re really talking about when we talk about weight – how much fat we’re losing or gaining? Focus on living well, sleeping soundly, eating right, and exercising regularly, and I think you’ll find that scale stays put behind the toilet more and more.
