Ready for some more traintastic party tips? (See what I did there?) Today, I will take you behind the scenes of my train parties. Elevating a party from great to amazing is all about the details. You'll learn lots of tips from a train-party expert. First, I'll share how I add special details throughout my decor. Next, I'll share what's inside of my Goody Bags. Lastly, I'll walk you through creating my two train cakes.

To be able to throw themed, detailed parties, I need to immerse myself in the subject (like Leo prepping for a movie). Before I throw any party, I do a lot of research. Yep, the nerdy school teacher in me spends hours researching anything before jumping in. And then, of course, I pull out one of my handy dandy spiral notebooks and start to make lists and notes (shocking, isn't it? The planner-obsessed girl makes a to do list).
For the circus party, I watched Dumbo and some circus youTube videos. For the winter onderland party, I didn't have to do much research because, well, Christmas. For my train parties, I just hung out with Carl for a day. But really, I did re-watch some Thomas movies and also some episodes of Chugginton. Then I took to the internet and researched the Island of Sodor as well as information about trains and how they work. Next, I headed to Pinterest.
I pinned any and every train-related idea. I pinned crafts, recipes, party games, and more. Even though I didn't use a lot of what I pinned, they all helped inspire the games and activities I selected for the party. Once I was finished my research, I edited my notes and created a party outline.
One thing to keep in mind while planning, is budget. I am a money-conscious person but it can be hard with the parties to not go overboard and spend a fortune. To keep costs down, I try to do as many DIY and crafts myself rather than purchasing pre-made items. I purchase white cardstock in bulk from Amazon. Then, I use my Silhouette to Print and Cut or I cut my printables by hand. It takes a little extra time but it saves money. and also allows me to add some added detail to my parties.
Here are some of the ways I took my train parties to the next level.
Decorated each child's cardboard train in a color they liked as well as a character they're interested in (such as Ariel, McQueen or Belle).
Created engineer badges for each child (which I laminated very cheaply. These go on sale a lot, especially around Christmas). Facebook is great for stealing pictures of the party guests.
Made cups for each kid with their name on it. This also helps keep cups straight and serves as another favor.
Gave each kid a train-themed place card for one of the parties (I used my Silhouette to create these but you could easily make a version in a program like Word and print and cut them). The train had a picture of their favorite character in the driver's window as a little extra touch.
Put the kid's names and pictures wherever I can. The little train center piece even has the kid's pictures inside of the tiny windows.
Added personal name tags to the Goody bags.
By keeping the party small, I was able to focus on making the experience wonderful for a small group of children so it wasn't overwhelming. It also kept costs down.
This can be hard but it really does create a more intimate experience. Inviting every kid in the class can become expensive quick.
If guests aren't used to visiting your house, it can be helpful to label things like the restroom or coat closet. It also keeps you from having to tell people where the bathroom is a hundred times.
I also designed a simple sign for each party. Then, I just quickly changed out the text. Sometimes, I put signs on things that are obvious but they add to the feel of the party.
I made signs to go around the house to add a little something to the "train tracks." I included signs like Speed Limit and Bridge Ahead.
Goody Bags are either loved or hated by parents it seems. I love to make them but I don't like to fill them with the traditional toys from party or dollar stores. Instead, I try to give something a little different.
Pinterest was my best friend when it came to designing my cakes. For the second train cake, Carl sat with me while I scrolled through hundreds of train cakes. He let me know what he loved and didn't like (which was a huge help). Originally, I planned to use a Thomas cake pan and make a Thomas. But Carl was adamant that the cake have a moving train on it. While I normally don't let me four-year-old make decisions for me, I wanted his birthday cake to be what he wanted (not what I wanted). So I listened, and he had some great tips and ideas (although some were totally impossible, four-year-olds have quite the imagination).
I loved this cake. I wish I could have made it a second time around. My son prefers cookie cake to regular cake (which is great because it's easier to work with). I didn't take step-by-step pictures at the time so it's best to read through the directions. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me.
various icing colors including white or light gray(depending what color you'd like to make the train). It took about 2 batches of icing for me.
Line each tray with parchment paper (I used foil and regretted it).
Cover each jelly roll pan with one batch of chocolate chip cookies. Spread flat.
Cut out three rectangles that are 5 x 7. I used a cardboard template.
Cut two long strips that are 7 inches by 1 inch.
Cut two shorter strips that are 3 inch by 1 inch.
Stack the three rectangles on top of each other.
Then take the long pieces and place them on the edge of the top rectangle.
Then place the small pieces on the edges of the shorter side (see below).
Repeat this steps 4-9 one more time.
Now, complete the same steps as above only use the dimensions 5 x 5 inches. The long pieces should be 5 inches and the shorter pieces should be 3 inches.
Now, cut out 5 of the 5 x 7 rectangles. Stack them.
Cut out 6 of the 5 x 5 rectangles. Stack them.
Move the cookies onto the cake/a foil covered piece of cardboard.
Place one of the larger train cars at the far end. Next in the middle, place the smaller train car. Next to it, place the other larger train car.
Now place the 6 stacked 5 x 5 squares.
Then place the 5 stacked 5 x 7 rectangles butted directly up against the 5 x 5 squares. SEE BELOW.
Now, cover each train color your desired frosting color.
Use white frosting to create a window on the top back section of the train engine (see below).
Draw a headlight on the front of the engine (see below).
Place 2 Oreos at the bottom of each train car on the both of the long sides to replicate wheels (see below). Place 3 Oreos on the front train car.
Now, it's time to make the smoke stack using a cake ice cream cone.
Mix a cup of mini marshmallows with white frosting.
Stuff them into the top of the cake cone. Try to round out the top a bit (it's okay if you don't use all of the marshmallow mixture. This is approximate).
Place the smoke stack on the front top end of the engine (see below).
Last, add candy to each train car.
This was the harder of my two cakes to make. My son had to have a moving train on it. And since I am not Duff from Ace of Cakes, I had to use a toy train set (track masters).
Line 2 jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Cover the jelly roll pan with cookie dough (one batch each).
Transfer to cake board/piece of cardboard (I cut a piece of cardboard and covered it in tin foil).
Place the two cakes next to each other (see above).
Cover the entire thing in green icing.
Place the track on the cake.
Add water by squeezing some frosting in a roundish lake shape somewhere on the cake.
Create trees (Christmas trees for us because that's what my kid wanted) Minus the pretzel stick. Also, I used buttercream icing. Let them get semi-dry before placing them on the cake (or just place the cone on the cake and pipe on the cake so you don't need to move them).
Cover the cardboard tunnel with rice krispie treats. Allow time to set (I left mine out for about 8 hours to set).
Place the tunnel on the cake.
Cover the tunnel in brown frosting.
Add some little green sprouts on the tunnel (like moss).

We first joined these two at Baked & Wired in Georgetown, Washington D.C. for an espresso and talked about their engagement, their lives together and the wedding that they're planning for next October. We immediately knew we wanted to work with them, after seeing them together. They're kind, loving, passionate and incredibly good in front of the camera, as is clearly seen below.
They didn't quite ask for this, but sometimes it's just impossible to not create when something good is in front of you.
After our first meeting we quickly booked and began planning out their engagement photo session for Georgetown and then at the Lincoln Memorial. This time we met at Snap, a sweet little coffee shop and began heading down the C&O Canal Towpath, while exploring the surrounding neighborhoods before jumping over to the National Mall. Here is a link to the complete gallery.

Q: Angular 2 HTTP post no HTTP-resource found I am using Angular 2 in order to send http requests to the server.
The server is running with ASP.Net.
My API:
public class LagerController : ApiController
{
    public IHttpActionResult RepHistorie(string vnr, string lagerort)
    {
        ...
    }
}

So I would call the API with
http://123.456.7.89/api/lager?vnr=W17291092373&lagerort=0382691395

This works fine when using a tool called postman with wich you can test API's.
But when making a post request with Angular 2, it doesn't work.
It says that the HTTP-resource is not found.
Angular 2:
submit() {
  var body = 'vnr=W17291092373&lagerort=0382741400';

  var link = 'http://123.456.7.89/api/lager';
  this.http.post(link, body)
    .subscribe(data => {
      console.log(data);
    }, error => {
      console.log("Oooops!");
    });
}

It seems like the parameters aren't added correctly.
Edit: Changed tag

A: This needs clarification, since the API above seems to be a GET Request.
In case it is a POST Request , then you should use the whole URL while running the API
In case you want to submit an object , you should use [FromBody] as a parameter
Example
[HttpPost]
public IHttpActionResult( [FromBody]YourObject item ) {

}

====
Client-side
var postUrl = 'http://123.456.7.89/api/lager?vnr=W17291092373&lagerort=0382691395';
var postObject = {};
http.post(postUrl,postObject)

For GET request where you would like to use QueryString
[HttpGet]
public IHttpActionResult RepHistorie([FromQuery]string vnr,[FromQuery]string lagerort){
                ...
}

====
// Query string can be built using RequestOptionsArgs as well
var builtUrl = 'http://123.456.7.89/api/lager?vnr=W17291092373&lagerort=0382691395';
http.get(builtUrl)

Alternative way is to
var getUrl = 'http://webapi/api/lager';
var requestOptions = {};
http.get(getUrl,requestOptions);

Reference:

*

*Angular HTTP: https://angular.io/api/http/Http , check get() and post() methods

*RequestOptionsArgs : https://angular.io/api/http/RequestOptionsArgs

US: Student asks Apple to change dictionary defining gay as 'foolish and stupid'
Aaron Day November 12, 2013
A student in Sudbury, Massachusetts, has launched a campaign asking Apple to remove an offensive definition of the word "gay" from its online dictionary service.
The MetroWest Daily News reports that 15-year-old Becca Gorman first found the hurtful definition while researching gay rights for a school project.
She discovered the dictionary listed the third, informal definition as "foolish;stupid," with an example which read: "making students wait for the light is kind of a gay rule."
"At first, I was kind of in disbelief," she said. "It was insulting, and I can't understand why it would even be there."
Ms Gorman, whose parents are a lesbian couple, said she is used to hearing the term "gay" used as a pejorative every day, but added she was hurt that a "humongous company" like Apple would give the definition credence.
"I felt like they had to take care of it," she said.
Ms Gorman decided to send an email to Apple CEO Tim Cook asking the company to remove the informal definition.
She wrote: "I assume that you are a pro-gay company, and would never intend for any one of your products to be as offensive as this definition was.
"Even with your addition of the word informal, this definition normalizes the terrible derogatory twist that many people put on the word 'gay.'"
Ms Gorman said, to her surprise, an Apple representative called her only an hour after she sent the email.
"They told me it's so hard to track the dictionaries they're getting sources from, and that they were also shocked themselves," Gorman said.
But while the representative suggested Apple would look into the problem, the dictionary remains the same.
Ms Gorman added: "I feel like we're going to have to make a bigger deal about it before they actually act on it."
Earlier this month, Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook wrote an editorial in the Wall Street Journal urging US senators to support the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).
Previously, the Apple iTunes store came under fire when it warned app-creators not to use the word "bisexual", as the app may be banned.

Boy, I'll tell ya…I really enjoyed today!
Whole wheat Farmer's Market bread, spread with a wedge of The Laughing Cow Light Mozzarella , Sun-Dried Tomato, & Basil cheese, and some tomato slices + leftover roasted veggies.
I froze 6 of them, and left two stragglers behind for tonight's dinner. I decided to make one of my favorite go-to recipes from way back from when I was still living with my parents (*I say way back…which was actually 2 years ago this past Tuesday! Hard to believe…) The recipe comes from a Kraft Foods magazine, which I used to get quarterly, but I think they stopped sending them? Either way, this recipe is a favorite of mine…quick, easy, & delicious: Bruschetta Chicken Bake.
On the side, I finished off the rest of my leftover roasted veggies. I'm gonna need to make some more…they were soooo good.
This recipe is just awesome. Give me bruschetta in any way, shape, or form, and I am a happy camper. When I make this recipe, I like to use Italian-style tomatoes, just to give it another added "kick" of flavor. The original recipe calls for mozzarella cheese; I didn't have any on hand, so I substituted a lonely slice of provolone cheese + some Mexican-style shredded cheese, and it was still just as delicious.
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Place tomatoes in medium bowl. Add stuffing mix, water, and garlic; stir just until stuffing is mix is moistened. Set aside.
Place chicken in 13×9-inch baking dish; sprinkle with basil and cheese. Top with stuffing mixture.
Do you ever buy "in bulk" in order to save money? What do you buy and/or where do you shop??
I love buying in bulk...Costco and I are BFF's. Your sandwich looks amazing, I always have to eat my wraps open because they are too huge!
TOTALLY agree that Bruschetta anyway is awesome :D I think I could eat it everyday & never get sick of it. Glad you enjoyed your day off!!
Dinner looks amaze-balls, girl! I buy chicken in bulk, too, but I get so lazy to cut/freeze it!
i'm a total costco girl!---toilet paper, paper towel, contact solution, soap, cereal....pretty much anything we use ALL the time! that bruschetta bake looks so good! i may need to try this!
We buy in bulk from Sam's Club and definitely save a lot of money doing so. Thanks for the great recipe...it looks tasty and easy to make- perfect for a week night.
This chicken dish looks mmm mmm good.
Kraft Foods magazine isn't free anymore:( You now have to pay for it; however, you can find most of their recipes on their website.
This is totally something I could make because it requires minimal nekkid chicky touching!
Where do you get the laughing cow mozz sun dried tomato cheese? I tried price chopper but no luck.
I wish could get all the different Laughing Cow flavors over here! I've only been able to find the regular light :( sounds amazing though!
I just made that Bruschetta Chicken Bake on my blog like two weeks ago!! :) I love it! It's such a good dish to make!
I've made this recipe before--it's fail-proof and delish!
I try to avoid buying any of the "convenience" items at the grocery store. I buy whole carrots instead of baby carrots- I'm crazy like that. ;) But it's so much cheaper to shop that way!
The last time I went to get a pedicure, my feet were quite nasty as well! I was pretty embarrassed!!
I like to buy in bulk whenever possible, but always just staples like flour, sugar, COFFEE...you get the picture. The bruschetta bake sounds awesome, too!
That bruschetta bake looks amazing, it's like stuffing only schmancier!

Insights from industry
Expanding Life Science Capabilities with Optical Fluorescence
Interview conducted by Will SoutterMar 3 2014
In this interview, Dr. Mark R. Munch, president of Bruker Nano Surfaces and Bruker MAT Group, talks to AZoNano about the strategy behind the recent acquisition of Prairie Technologies, and how their optical fluorescence technology compliments Bruker Nano Surfaces' existing product lines.
Bruker's Nano Surfaces division recently acquired Prairie Technologies. To begin with, can you tell us the strategy behind this acquisition?
Our strategy for the acquisition was based on four things. First, it opens new markets for the Bruker Nano Surfaces division. We have been seeing growth in optical fluorescence and life science, and those are nice market segments for us to go into to grow our microscopy portfolio.
The second reason is that it strengthens our position in life science overall. Bruker Nano Surfaces already has a significant presence in life science through our bio-AFM platforms and, with optical fluorescence microscopy being such a predominant tool in that field, it's a really great addition to our portfolio.
The third reason is related to that combination of technologies. There is a lot of synergy between optical fluorescence microscopy and bio-AFM. For example, we have an optical integrated AFM—our BioScope Catalyst. Every Catalyst we sell ends up integrated with a fluorescence confocal microscope, so it's a natural step to try and gain that capability ourselves.
The fourth reason is that we want to build on that synergy. We see that we can offer new ways to do experiments if we offer both capabilities. There is a lot of talk about correlative microscopy and combining results from more than one method. Not only can we do that, we can go beyond correlative microscopy and offer entirely new platforms for experimentation. We can imagine stimulus response measurements, for example, where we probe with an AFM and then watch the response optically.
So there are a lot of reasons behind the move into this space. These are the four main ones, and they are pretty compelling to us.
The Opterra Multipoint Scanning Confocal Microscope from Bruker's new Fluorescence Microscopy business (formerly Prairie Technologies)
Can you tell us a bit about the technology and products that Prairie has to offer?
Prairie's technology is based on two main platforms: multi-photon microscopy and multipoint scanning confocal microscopy. There is a lot of specialization within those platforms, but it's all really based on that.
Prairie Technologies pioneered the multi-photon microscopy space commercially. Prairie was the first to offer apparatus allowing two-photon research, and that is their main platform in terms of sales. More recently, they have moved into multipoint scanning confocal microscopy. Most people in the world are using spinning disk systems, but Prairie's technology is based on laser galvanos, which offers some nice advantages over the spinning disk technologies.
Across both those areas, Prairie offers a lot in terms of photoactivation, allowing users to ablate certain regions or stimulate the occurrence of certain events. Most people would concur that Prairie has some great leading technology in that area, and that it is applicable across both multi-photon and multipoint scanning microscopy.
What does this technology bring to Bruker Nano Surfaces, and how does it complement your existing product lines?
Multiphoton microscopy is a dominant technique in neurobiology because it allows you to inspect much deeper into tissues, using much longer wavelengths. You can also select wavelengths with less scattering and still harness the multiphoton or two-photon excitation to excite the molecules effectively. This technique has proven very useful, and it complements our existing products nicely because we have been doing a lot of work with applications of AFM in neurobiology.
Multipoint scanning confocal microscopy is very useful in terms of live-cell imaging and picking up fast, dynamic events. Of course, that is also an area where AFMs are increasingly used, as well, with products such as our FastScan Bio. So the technology is certainly complementary in an application sense.
How long has this acquisition deal been in the pipeline, and how did the discussion start?
We started really studying the market in depth in 2012. A team here did a really deep survey into different segments of life science, and we started to get a grasp on what the real growth areas are and who had some leading capabilities in the space.
Coming out of 2012 and into early 2013, we then started acting on it in terms of specific conversations, and we spent a lot of time getting to know Prairie. That process then led to closing the acquisition in the fall, in September through October.
Did you know from quite early in the process that life science in general, and fluorescence microscopy in particular, was the area you wanted to look at?
Absolutely. As part of our strategy as far back as 2010-2011, we had targeted that space. In 2012 we started executing on that strategy, sorting out the detail of who to target, and Prairie stood out as an ideal match with their leading technology in that area.
Bruker Nano Surfaces has launched a number of new products in the bioscience space recently, and this is a strong growth area for Bruker as a whole. Is this an indicator of increased market demand in this sector?
For Bruker Nano Surfaces specifically, it definitely strengthens our position and offering in life science. We have had a lot of activity in that area recently, beginning with the launch of the FastScan Bio AFM, which is capable of imaging dynamic events in a way that AFMs traditionally haven't been able to do. We've also made a lot of improvements to the Bioscope Catalyst optical integrated AFM.
Now we are adding the Prairie products. We just released the Opterra Multipoint Scanning Confocal Microscope at ASCB in December. We are contributing a lot to the life science market, and this acquisition represents a commitment to do more.
It's not just our product lines, either. This acquisition is also about strengthening our applications knowledge, being able to address customer needs, and offering better solutions in life science. Bruker as a whole has always been very active in life science, from identifying protein crystallization structures to preclinical imaging, and all those areas of life science are still very strong. Bruker currently spans many dimensions in life science, from whole-animal imaging in preclinical studies, right down to studies on the cellular or even electrical level.
Is Prairie Technologies fully integrated within Bruker as a division or business unit? Where do they sit within the structure of Bruker Nano Surfaces?
Prairie is a wholly intact business unit within Bruker Nano Surfaces. That means that Prairie operates as it always has. Existing customers won't notice a difference in responsiveness or customer service. Prairie has always been very responsive in terms of support, and also in terms of tailoring products to their customers' needs, and that will continue.
Also, Prairie has always been very focused on North America. Being part of the Bruker Nano Surfaces division will enable them to offer their products to the rest of the world, as well, by leveraging our broader capabilities in sales, application support and service support. So customers will really see the best of both worlds, and Prairie will benefit from that as well.
Bruker Nano Surfaces has conducted a number of acquisitions to bring in new product lines. Is this a longer term strategy for growth?
The Bruker Nano Surfaces division does have a very strong business foundation from which to do acquisitions, but our primary objective is growing the businesses we have and delivering value to our customers.
If an opportunity arises, as it did with Prairie, and it makes sense strategically for us, we will certainly look at those opportunities. But we will only consider further acquisitions in certain special cases. Our strategy is really to focus on organic growth from this point on, not to target growth through acquisitions.
It has been a few months since the acquisition now. What has the response been, both internally and from customers, now that Prairie is settled in as part of Bruker?
The response from all sides has been very positive. It's a great acquisition and a great fit. We've had very positive comments already from both sides of the customer base, from Prairie's existing customers and from our AFM users, and that's always very encouraging to see.

Dory is swimming along, kind of spacey not really paying attention to what she's doing, looking this way and that, humming, twirling, etc.
She swims right into a strong current, "Whoa, hey! What's happening? Where am I?"
We hear a laid back hippie, "Hey man, you're in the EAC."
Dory meets Ziggy, a hippie turtle. Ziggy asks her what kind of fish she is. Dory realizes that she doesn't know. She asks, "What kind of fish are you?"
Ziggy laughs, "I'm not a fish, I'm a sea turtle." Dory decides maybe she'll be a sea turtle, too.
Ziggy tells her they are making their yearly trip to the beach. He tells Dory he hopes to see his son there, whom he hasn't seen in 50 years. Dory decides she wants to go see this beach. As the turtles reach shallow water, Dory begins to struggle.
"This way man!" Ziggy calls as he starts walking up the beach.
Dory struggles to reach the shore. As she pokes out of the water, she gasps for air. The seagulls swoop towards her calling MINE! MINE! Dory quickly rushes back under water. She realizes that she's not cut out to be a turtle.
She and Ziggy say goodbye to one another.
As Ziggy turns away, we hear Crush's voice say, "Dude!"
Ziggy replies "It's so good to see you, son."
Dory smiles as she turns away, "I guess I'm not a turtle, but what am I? Oh well, just keep swimming, just keep swimming."


DOVER – Secretary of State Jeffrey Bullock and the state Board of Dentistry and Dental Hygiene have suspended the Delaware dental license of Dr. I-Yin Liu, in light of allegations that she has repeatedly violated standards of professional practice, has been subject to criminal arrest for her conduct, and subsequently violated the terms of her bail.
In making this determination, Secretary Bullock and the board considered the findings of an investigation by the Delaware Department of Justice, which alleges that Dr. Liu repeatedly allowed untrained, unlicensed staff in her practice to place fillings in the teeth of child patients and to administer nitrous oxide. Dr. Liu practices dentistry at All About Smiles, located in Wilmington, and Smile Place, located in Smyrna. This alleged unprofessional conduct took place in March, August and September of this year.
Dr. Liu was arrested on Sept. 29 and charged with six counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child and one count of Health Care Fraud. She was released on bail and ordered to not allow the use of nitrous oxide in her practice by anyone other than herself. On Nov. 6, Dr. Liu allegedly directed an unlicensed person to administer nitrous oxide to a child patient, resulting in her arrest on Nov. 22 for felony non-compliance with the conditions of her bail.
The suspension of Dr. Liu will remain in effect for a period of 60 days, during which time disciplinary hearings will be held or the final disposition for this individual will take place. As the result of a hearing, the Board of Dentistry and Dental Hygiene has the authority to impose disciplinary sanctions up to and including revocation of a practitioner's license or certification.
The licensure status of Dr. Liu has been updated on the Division of Professional Regulation's online license verification service.

Tim Mutton
Tim Mutton is the founder and leader of Blacksheep, launching the studio in 2002 with the aim of bringing a new perspective to the industry. In addition to leading Blacksheep's team of established and emerging talent, Tim regularly teaches, judges, writes, presents and is an active force in driving the design industry's future.
For Blacksheep, every project has to be different. For Tim, every project, either it is with a new or returning client, has to be a new book that tells a new tale. A design tale, per se. Tim never repeats himself. Like a true novelist, he doesn't care for similarities, nor ''stylistically sad'', as he perceives. In his mind, similarities are created to chase after success, thus it represents what one wants to become. But, according to Tim, one should embrace uniqueness. ''It's ok to be different.'' He concluded.
Karen Howes
Karen's own story began with a passion and a dream. Under her leadership as Chief Executive and Founder, the company today has cemented itself as one of Great Britain's leading design studios, with a thriving creative team of thirty-five, based in the heart of London's fashionable Knightsbridge. The DNA of Taylor Howes is very much Karen's own vision: a positive, approachable, and refreshing energy. Having developed a strong team of directors' Karen acts as the 'first client', reviewing, editing and ensuring exacting quality.
25 years have passed since the launch of Taylor Howes, and Karen now feels like a kind of curator and editor of the studio. Whenever she meets with the clients she already has a clear vision in her mind. Above all, Karen sees herself as open to new ideas, new concepts, new designs. She has 30 team members working non-stop in the studio, always seeking the best ideas, but Karen's always the first client. Before the idea is presented to the client, it has to go through Karen, so that she, with all her experience, can guide the project to the way it was meant to be: a pristine Taylor Howes project.

The signature design characteristics of this top UK interior design company – impeccable colour, superb qualities and technical expertise – are reflected in the work of their in-house studio headed up by Kathleen Butler, ex-Royal College of Art weave specialist.
David Collins was born in March of 1955 and raised in Dublin where his father, Jack, worked as an architect. From an early age, David had a tendency for eye interest and light, a childhood memory of his pale blue bedroom would inform much of his incredible work, most strikingly the Blue Bar at the Berkeley Hotel.
Collins founded his eponymous firm in 1985, and since then his refined, luxurious style has reached well beyond London to restaurants, hotels and private homes from Moscow to New York. Madonna was a great admirer, commissioning him to design a friend's nightclub in Miami, and he even had a writing credit on her 1998 single Drowned World/Substitute For Love. With mischievous regard for media curiosity, Collins hung a 6ft by the 8ft photograph of the star outside his boardroom.

NSA is tracking your phone calls? Are you really surprised?
The government has records of our phone calls?
Please tell me you're not surprised.
I'll never forget one election night, in the early 2000s, when Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch cornered me at Republican campaign headquarters and gave me a stern lecture about my opposition to parts of the Patriot Act.
These were the days, post 9/11, when a lot of civil libertarians were upset about Section 215 of the act, which allows the government to obtain approval from a secret court to obtain any of a number of records on American citizens. At the time, people were zeroing in on library records and book purchases, and government officials were saying if you're not a terrorist, you have nothing to worry about.
Boston Globe columnist Ellen Goodman wrote, "But when the government has secret, unlimited access to anything you read, any website you surf at the library, it creates the sense that we are all being watched."
The attorney general at the time, John Ashcroft, was the center of this criticism, especially from the left.
I had written editorials urging the nation not to give up liberties in the name of security, and that parts of the Patriot Act should be repealed. Hatch vehemently disagreed. He wrote an op-ed in 2003 saying the act included plenty of safeguards for the rights of Americans. Of the critics, he said, "…none of them has cited one instance of abuse against our constitutional rights…"
Four years later a Justice Department audit found that FBI officials had issued 39,000 security letters in 2003, despite telling Congress the number was much lower. Security letters are administrative subpoenas to require telephone companies, Internet service providers, financial institutions, credit bureaus and other businesses to produce personal records about their customers.
The audit also found evidence of at least 700 "exigent letters," signed by FBI officials not authorized to sign the letters, ordering telephone companies to give up billing records and subscriber information.
These sounded like giant fishing expeditions.
Now we learn that with a new president and a new attorney general — both from the opposite end of the political spectrum than those in power in 2003 — nothing has changed.
We are assured that no one in Washington (or soon to be in Bluffdale, Utah, where the world's largest government data-gathering complex is under construction) is listening to what we say on the phone. They're just massaging numbers to see if they spot any suspicious patterns.
It's the same old "trust us" song and dance we've heard from the beginning. And yet we now have learned that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, that secret tribunal set up to protect our civil liberties and consider all request for data-gathering, has not denied a single request in four years.
It's important to step back a bit and view this from the point of view of government officials. If you're elected president, or as a member of Congress, national security is among your biggest concerns. No president wants to be found unaware of a plot to destroy Americans or attack national interests. The tendency will be to use any power at your disposal, even ones that bend the rules a bit, to ensure that safety.
That's understandable. There is even a bit of comfort in that. The world is dangerous.
The problem, however, is every tinhorn dictator in history has used the need for public safety as an excuse to gather more power and collect more information, and the rhetoric here sounds so similar you feel like someone is reading George Orwell aloud.
The Bush and Obama administrations may be honest in their intent, with 9/11 still fairly fresh in everyone's mind. But this is such a dangerous road to travel precisely because, if it becomes engrained in our national way of life, it can easily be used for nefarious purposes some day.
That day may not be so distant, actually.
This conversation is underway at the same time the nation is examining how the IRS could use its powers to intimidate people with a certain political view into silence. As long as mere mortals remain in charge, the two issues are not unrelated in principle.
reverse phone lookup link
Oh, really:) Surprising news for us.NSA is tracing the calls.You can use reverse phone lookup services to identify the unknown callers information's.

David Fincher's Fight Club is a tremendous technical accomplishment, a masterpiece of set design, editing, scoring, and precise direction. Every shot is handled with an attention to detail that makes Fight Club one of the most visually stunning films of the decade. It's also a condescending, viciously hypocritical movie that can't decide whether it has more contempt for its audience or its characters. Everything about it conveys a smug, adolescent nihilism that's as emotionally powerful as it is shallow, and while it may be interpreted as an anti-fascist/anti-cult parable, it also draws most of its power from the same conformist, hyper-masculine ideology. The impressive Edward Norton stars as a Kafka-esque drone whose tedious existence receives a major overhaul after he meets a charismatic drifter (Brad Pitt, effortlessly coasting on his iconic status) who gets him to embrace the caveman within. A hipster graphic novel come to life—and powered by a flashy, tremendously effective Dust Brothers score—Fight Club does itself a disservice by laughing so hard at its own naughtiness and exaggerated sense of transgression that it barely gives its audience time to breathe, let alone figure things out for itself. Like a bile-filled adolescent, Fight Club concerns itself primarily with daydreaming of being an all-powerful, all-destructive übermensch, only to recognize that maybe individual human life really does have worth after all. Unfortunately, by the time it comes to this realization, it's too late; Fight Club never really had any humanity to speak of, making its fourth-quarter lapse into conventional morality about as convincing as a terminally ill pedophile's last-minute decision to repent.

Pope Francis connects with people, especially the young, the forgotten, and the forlorn. What is the source of his spiritual vitality? Find out here, in a book that offers a path for prayer and a guide for life.
When Jorge Mario Bergoglio prepared to submit his letter of retirement to Pope Benedict XVI, he began to sort through his papers and the spiritual talks he had given over the years. He entrusted the task of helping him to gather and edit to a few close friends and colleagues. Open Mind, Faithful Heart is the exclusive English translation of those texts which Cardinal Bergoglio considered his most central ones. Since his election as pope, there have been many books about Pope Francis, and collected from his homilies. Open Mind, Faithful Heart comes closest to a book written by him.
Open Mind, Faithful Heart: Mediations on Christian Discipleship is certainly not a book to read in one sitting, but not because of its density or difficulty. The language is accessible and the concepts are not hard to grasp, particularly for those familiar with the gospels. Rather, the book is a series of invitations and challenges that are all too familiar on the surface. By now most people have read or heard some of the thinking of Pope Francis, and they will not be surprised by what they find here. Behind all the invitations to tenderness, compassion, and mercy, however, there are serious demands and even stern admonitions to "swim against the tide." More than a work centering on a particular issue, the book is a collection of reflections given to different groups of people at retreats: laypeople, priests, deacons, and men and women religious.
The four parts progressively open a pathway to prayer. The first focuses on the encounter with Jesus through the various dialogues offered in the gospels. The second part consists of "revelations" – small epiphanies in the lives and faith journeys that Christians experience in their discipleship. The third part speaks about the church in its daily and concrete life. Finally, the book ends in an intimate encounter of prayer, accompanied by biblical witnesses who went through all the same temptations that besiege people today.
It is a call to faithfulness and a warning against the temptations that every Christian feels at one point or another: tiredness, jadedness, settling into a comfortable life, clinging to power. There is not, however, a different message for each group, but one and the same for all. The call is to joy, but to a deep joy that is rooted in the cost of discipleship.
Pope Francis leads the reader into demanding proposition, and yet he manages to make them sound completely attainable.
On first perusal, I find the book is itself well written and well within the bounds of Catholic formational understanding. It is very much to those who understand the nuances, undoubtedly written by a member of the Order of St. Francis.
Very straightforward in his approach to spirituality, The Pope states in a beautiful way his convictions on a life of discipleship; as opposed to a following of dogmatic teaching.
There are many who wonder is this Pope different from others? I would say no. His love for the church and its doctrines and his personal devotions to Mary are definitely at the heart of his writings in Open Mind, Faithful Heart.
For any who would enjoy a tool for invitation into reflection and prayer, Open Mind, Faithful Heart can serve as a great catalyst into a deeper spiritual prayer life rooted in Catholic and Franciscan theology.
Far more gentler but no less mystical or revolutionary, these writings have at their heart compassion as their source and a social justice that brings back memories of the early days of Matthew Fox.
Written with the somberness of Thomas Merton, these writings never lose the point of discipleship and what it means.
A great read. Thank you again for considering my thoughts on this well written wonderful book.
Before I even read Open Mind, Faithful Heart, I was reading endorsements about this book. Some billed it as a book that would reveal the secrets and future of the papacy under Pope Francis. However, after reading the book, I would say that is not the case at all. Instead, you will find Ignatian-inspired spiritual reflections, which hopefully help the reader learn how to grow nearer to Jesus.
Part One is appropriately titled "Encountering Jesus." In this section, we see various passages of the Gospels in which Jesus was speaking directly to people. In addition to passages where he addresses his disciples, there are also passages where he addresses Pharisees and Sadducees. I was glad he included those latter passages, as I was able to see how sometimes I too can act like a Pharisee. Part Two's focus is divine revelation and the history of salvation. In this part, we see reflections that deal with Christ coming to save us, man's rejection of Him, and the role of the Church after Christ's Resurrection and Ascension.
Part Three was easily my favorite part as it discussed the Book of Revelation, primarily the Seven Letters to the Seven Churches found in Revelation 2 and 3. Though these letters were written by St. John to seven specific churches in his time, they also contain relevant messages to the Church in our time. Part Four is the longest section in this book as it touches on human prayer. In this section, we are provided with glimpses of Biblical figures, like Moses and Job, as it relates to prayer. Lastly, we are provided with the ultimate example of prayer in Jesus.
This book is an enlightening and refreshing read. Not all passages are easily read by your average laymen. Some are very theological and geared specifically at priests. However, each one is beautiful and shows us the thoughts of a man who loves Jesus and His Church. Though it does not contain any biographical information on our current pope, it does give us a personal glimpse into his brilliant mind and loving heart. If you love Jesus and want to follow Him more closely, this book is for you.
It is nothing new to say that the world is fascinated with Pope Francis. His humble tone, his embrace of the poor, and his words, both prepared as in his homilies and encyclicals as well as in his off-the-cuff remarks, have sparked an interest in this humble Jesuit Pope that seems to go on unabated. As a deacon in a small Utah parish, I have certainly shared that interest and the question in my mind, as in the minds of so many others, has been—who is this man? What is the provenance of the many refreshing things he has been saying and doing?
A partial answer to those questions can be found in the recently published book, Open Mind, Faithful Heart with the subtitle: Reflections on Following Jesus by: Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis). The book is a collection of short writings by Pope Francis prepared while he was archbishop of Buenos Aires, and which he intended to publish when he reached age 75 and would turn in his resignation to the Pope. Fortunately for the world, that retirement has been postponed. But the writings have been published and give us a welcome insight into both the mind and the heart of the Holy Father. They reveal the spirit of a devoted son of the Church who is steeped in the scriptures and the writings of the Church fathers as well as classical literature. And they show the pastoral side of someone who is familiar not only with the halls of the Vatican but with the barrios of Buenos Aires as well.
In many ways, Open Mind, Faithful Heart reads like the text for a retreat led by a skilled retreat master. Part I: Encounters With Jesus is written in true Ignatian style, with the reader invited to an intimate participation in the life and ministry of Jesus. Each of the short reflections in this section is centered on a scene from the gospels where Jesus is encountered. After breaking open the meaning hidden in these accounts, the reader is invited to prayer and reflection utilizing questions that draw upon the highlighted text. This format could be especially useful for prayer groups wishing to deepen their encounter with Jesus under the guidance of a spiritual master who knows him well.
Encounters With Jesus is followed by three other divisions: Part II: Manifestations of Light, Part III: The Letters to the Seven Churches, and Part IV: Human Prayer. In Manifestations of Light, I found some of the thoughts of then Archbishop Borgoglio that seem to now be echoing in the words of Pope Francis. For example, his compassion for the poor in a reflection on the Gospel narratives of Jesus' birth: "The preferences of God do not incline toward social elites or the worldly wise, but only toward the lowly, simple folk who insert themselves into history as servants of the only 'Servant,' the one who gives meaning to the whole of our journey." (page 130). His joy: "By bearing witness, we produce light that provokes joy, and from the joy flows glory." (page 134). And love: "The gift of Christ we receive from the Father is a manifestation of love…" (page 143). These and many more insights can be found in this section.
Part III contains a series of reflections on perhaps one of the more difficult scriptures for exegesis—the Apocalypse, or the Book of Revelation. Drawing on such sources as Romano Guardini and Hans Urs von Balthazar, Pope Francis teases out of this highly symbolic text a meaning that has direct relevance to everyday ministry. A sampling of the headings found in this section prove this point: Ephesus—Recapturing the First Love; Smyrna—Overcoming Fatigue and Bitterness; Sardis—Restoring Self Respect. For anyone leading a Bible study class that decides to take on the obscure imagery of the Book of Revelation, this book would be a most valuable companion text for eliciting insights that might otherwise be overlooked.
As a regular preacher, I found Part IV of Open Mind, Faithful Heart to be most valuable. Here again we find practical applications of the gospel message, something every preacher should be looking for: "loving justice with a desert thirst, preferring the wealth of poverty to the impoverishment produced by worldly wealth, opening our hearts with gentleness rather than inflaming them with ferocity…" This section is filled with gems that can enrich any homily. And what better authority to cite than that of Pope Francis? Not only is Part IV filled with excellent exegesis, it is as well a wise and gentle affirmation of prayer as the climate out of which all good preaching arises.
I finished this book feeling that I knew Pope Francis better. The media may not find in this collection of essays the one-liners that are heard so often. But anyone who delves into this book will come away knowing that, indeed, the world has a pope with truly an open mind and a faithful heart.
Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now Pope Francis, compiled this book from many of his sermons and retreat conferences. His goal was to present Christian living on a day-to-day basis. There are 48 small chapters in this book, and these small chapters are divided into four major themes: The first fourteen small chapters center on one's spiritual efforts: "How We Can Encounter Jesus." The second section has only eight small chapters, and the centering theme for these reflections is: "How Can We Manifest the Light of Jesus." The third section centers on the six churches mentioned in the Apocalypse. Pope Francis asks us to put ourselves in the presence of Jesus and let the words of these seven letters bring us consolation and comfort, and he opens up before us the symbols described in each of the letters. The first letter to the church at Ephesus is entitled "Recapturing the First Love." In each of his reflections, Pope Francis helps us reclaim our love for Jesus. The final section is the longest, written in eighteen small reflections. In these reflections Pope Francis takes us through a variety of human moments in which we might either doubt our spiritual strength or find our strength in Jesus.
When I read these forty-eight small reflections, I had to stop after each one of them since each of the reflections touches on powerful aspects of spirituality. I came to the conclusion that this book should be read, not in one or two days, but in forty-eight days. Each day, I could read a single reflection in the morning and meditate on it during the remainder of the day.
In these small but powerful meditations, Pope Francis centers us on a brief passage from the New Testament. Often, these passages contain an admonition from Jesus himself. Then, Pope Francis begins to explain Jesus' message in a way that involves our contemporary spiritual life. What Jesus said makes sense to us today, in our days of trial and sadness and in our days of joy and love.
I truly believe that the words of Pope Francis in each of these small meditations need to be read slowly, with a time to think and rethink the meaning of what he says. This small volume is much more a book which needs to be read little by little, with intervals of careful meditation. For busy people, today, this small book can be a solid basis for one's day-by-day spiritual response to Jesus' call to each one of us. Pope Francis' reflections touch on aspects of our modern life and these reflections help us in a rich way to grow in a day-by-day form of down-to-earth spirituality.
[Open Mind, Faithful Heart] is a call to faithfulness and a warning against the temptations that every Christian feels at one point or another: tiredness, jadedness, settling into a comfortable life, clinging to power. There is not, however, a different message for each group, but one and the same for all. The call is to joy, but to a deep joy that is rooted in the cost of discipleship.
"Pope Francis leads the reader into demanding propositions, and yet he manages to make them sound completely attainable."
Open Mind, Faithful Heart contains the texts of 48 meetings Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio had with priests in Argentina. While the contents of the book, replete with Scripture references, were meant primarily for the clergy, the laity can certainly gain insights from them. Some of those insights, however, may be unwelcome initially — because they involve conquering our own pride.
The person who does not connect in some way with Open Mind, Faithful Heart is either spiritually blind or a veritable saint. Readers will be relentlessly but lovingly challenged throughout the book, now available in English, to remove all barriers between themselves and the sacred humanity of Christ. Three common barriers are impatience, unfaithfulness and lack of surrender in prayer.
So what's the answer? Christian hope: "In [Christ] we learn that God is great above all, that sin is ephemeral and that patience and constancy are born of hope." This is why, the cardinal explained, the kingdom of God does not come about suddenly, but is slowly realized until the final coming of Christ.
Behind unfaithfulness, impatience or any other failing is a lack of surrender in prayer, he said. We should heed the advice in Open Mind, Faithful Heart: "Our ability to seek out, discover, define and orient our mission — and be obedient to it — comes to us and grows in us only through prayer." The fulfillment of this destiny takes a mind open to the truth of God and a heart faithful to that truth, as Cardinal Bergoglio well reminds readers.
The collection, entitled Open Mind, Faithful Heart (Crossroad Publishing) is a wonderful collection of forty-eight brief reflections (I deliberately avoid describing them as "essays") written by Cardinal Bergoglio. Many of them read as if they began as short talks given during retreats, but whatever their origin, they are a wonderful, delightful and insightful resource for a questing heart and soul. I would strongly recommend that a person encountering this book for the first time should not read it as one would read an autobiography, even a spiritual autobiography, for this is not that kind of text. Rather, I recommend that one scan the Table of Contents and select a reflection that has particular resonance or interest, and prayerfully enter into the reflection as if going on retreat.
that might easily be overlooked. It is a useful reminder that our popes are all complex human beings who defy easy and simplistic characterization. just as Pope Benedict is known as a brilliant academic, his friends also know him as a gentle, caring person of great empathy, we find Pope Francis to be not only a warm, engaging pastoral personality, but also a man of intellectual depth and maturity as well.
in these scripture passages, easily connecting them to the real world of everyday life and ministry. Apparently the original texts did not provide the specific scriptural citations, and the editors have performed an admirable service by including those references in the current text.
ks directly, and yet almost mystically, to the hearts of his listeners. Here, his use of language is no less profound and direct. As I wrote above, these are reflections meant to be "read" and taken to heart. However, while they are food for the soul, they also encourage us to action in the very real exigencies of life. In essence, these forty-eight reflections constitute a spiritual retreat for all who are weary and looking for direction in living out the demands of discipleship in the contemporary world.
and seeing that so was God's desire.

Whoever sees it, may it be I!

God has entrusted to our hands!
Whoever does it, may it be I! Amen.
Instead of an instant biography, this anthology captures Pope Francis' own voice as he gathered together a particular set of reflections while nearing his 75th birthday several years ago in anticipation of his retirement as archbishop of Buenos Aires. As such, it operates as what was supposed to be a final statement from a bishop and, as it turns out, ends up being one of the ways that the world is being introduced to the man who became the first Jesuit pope and the first from Latin America.
The selections are of varying lengths and some are accompanied by prayers or suggestions for reflections. All, however, are deeply marked by the Jesuit spiritual technique, grounded in Ignatius Loyola's Spiritual Exercises, of guided meditations from scripture. They sound like the voice of a retreat master and lead the reader through periods of joy and critical discernment. At the same time, there is a clear-eyed realism here as Francis does not shy away from confronting issues such as hopelessness and despair, fatigue and bitterness, and even "the failure of Jesus." These are hard-hitting, challenging words and not nice pious talks for a Sunday afternoon. We hear a pastor's voice, but never a patronizing tone. To read this volume is to get a strong sense of Francis' own sense of mission and the way he is trying to offer his own path as a guide for others.
In 2011, as Jorge Mario Bergoglio (now Pope Francis) was preparing to submit his letter of retirement to Pope Benedict XVI, he began to sort through his papers and the spiritual talks he had given over the years. His intention was to have some of them published as he retired. He entrusted the task of sorting them and deciding which ones were to be published to a few close friends and colleagues. This volume is a compilation of several of his notable talks and spiritual reflections over the years.
Since his election as pope, there have been many books about Pope Francis. Open Mind, Faithful Heart is a book by him. The selections in this book are the deeply personal, spiritual thoughts of our new Holy Father. Many of them reflect his strong Ignatian background. All of them provide the reader with serious spiritual food.
The book is comprised of four parts: Encountering Jesus, Manifestations of Light, The Letters to the Seven Churches and Human Prayer. The scripturally-based lessons contained in these reflections are deeply personal, spiritually challenging, and thoroughly pastoral. Each reflection concludes with prayer.
If you have followed Pope Francis' daily homilies at Domus Santa Marta, and his more public homilies and addresses, you will hear echoes of these words in every part of this book. If you want to get inside Pope Francis's message today, this book will help you do that. For example, in the fourth section of this book, the section on Human Prayer, he speaks clearly about "drawing close to all suffering flesh." This "drawing close" he says, means "opening our hearts, showing compassion, touching the wound, aiding the injured...We must cultivate not just ways of thinking but also ways of proceeding that entail the following: loving justice with a desert thirst, preferring the wealth of poverty to the impoverishment produced by worldly wealth, opening our hearts with gentleness rather than inflaming them with ferocity, promoting peace as a value superior to all war and all evasive passivism, having a clear vision that comes from a pure heart and that keeps us from falling into the greed of storing up riches for ourselves. " These are themes that show up in so many of his teachings today. If you want to know where Pope Francis is taking us and the church today, these reflections from the past will enlighten the path he is setting for all of us for the future.
This volume is highly readable and spiritually challenging for clergy and religious, lay women and men, and for all who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the mind and heart of Pope Francis.
"If you are looking for an accessible, meaty, inspiring, and practical collection of meditations on the Bible, you need look no further. And from the pope no less, a pope who has his feet firmly on the ground, and has not allowed himself to be insulated from the people.
"I like and highly recommend this book to any serious seeker of the truth, Protestant or Catholic, and indeed, any person open to the Spirit of God. As mentioned in the Introduction, this is the kind of book that will endure. And for good reason.
"Forget the name and fame for the moment. This is an outstanding work no matter what the source. Crossroad has done us a service in putting this at our disposal. Reading it gives one the feeling of accompaniment with the pope on our spiritual journey. And who better to guide us along the way?"
"In a sea of books by, for, and about Pope Francis, this outstanding (and particularly attractive) volume by the Argentine Pontiff HIMSELF takes us inside his mind, heart and soul and gives us a blueprint for living, an example of how to live the Christian vocation. I highly recommend it!"
"The well-deserved initial public adulation for Pope Francis is giving way to an ardent desire to know more about this inspiring man and his previous work. This unique volume of reflections of Bergoglio, carefully selected and superbly translated, fills the void. Reading these four dozen brief texts of conferences Francis gave to pastoral workers will help anyone encounter Christ anew, and encounter the Pope in a new way as well. I highly recommend this volume as instructive and illuminating spiritual reading for all audiences."
"Christians of any denomination will find this book by the reigning pontiff to be of great assistance in their personal spiritual journey. Intentionally composed to be useful in ordinary day-to-day situations, the monograph will be highly useful for individual prayer and meditation as well as serviceable to prayer and Bible study groups."
"Since March 13, 2013, when we first saw Pope Francis stand a bit awe-struck on the papal balcony and ask the assembled faithful to bless him as he began his pontificate, we knew that change was in the air. And the Pope's subsequent actions and decisions have verified that—in ways more dramatically positive than we had ever imagined. This collection of 48 conferences of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, S.J., written before his election as Pope and most ably translated by Joseph V. Owens, S.J., allow his readers to know him close up and personal. His topics—ranging from Jesus in dialogue, to the courage of the cross, to reading the Apocalypse, to the solitude of prayer, to the mystery of talking to God—show the breadth of a spiritually deeply rooted in Sacred Scripture. Many of the essays conclude with an invitation to his readers to pray and reflect on his observations and insights, much in the spirit of what Saint Ignatius of Loyola does in the Spiritual Exercises. I highly recommend Open Mind, Faithful Heart: Reflections on Following Jesus."

Q: Showing $\mathbf Q(\sqrt2,\sqrt3)=\mathbf Q(\sqrt2+\sqrt3)$
Showing $\mathbf Q(\sqrt2,\sqrt3)=\mathbf Q(\sqrt2+\sqrt3)$

BUT I want to show this using The Theorem of the Primitive Element,

So I have to verify that $c$ cannot be $1$ and I need the $\mathbf Q$-monomorphisms, what are these ?

A: Well, there's a mistake in my argument which is detailed in the comment section.
I think it is beneficial to leave this answer as is in case somebody comes upon this and can then learn from it too.
My original post:
Here's one way to do it:
Theorem
Let $F$ be an infinite field. If $F(\alpha_1,\alpha_2)$ is a simple and algebraic extension of $F$ then $\exists t \in F$  s.t $F(\alpha_1,\alpha_2) = F(\alpha_1 + t\alpha_2)$.
This can be generalized for any n BTW
Proof:
I'll assume you know (since we're using the primitive element theorem) that under these conditions there is only a finite number of sub-fields in $F$.
$F$ is infinite then $\exists t_1 \neq t_2 \in F$ s.t $F(\alpha_1 + t_1\alpha_2) = F(\alpha_1 + t_2\alpha_2)$.
Then $\alpha_2 = \frac{(\alpha_1 + t_1\alpha_2)-(\alpha_1 + t_2\alpha_2)}{t_1-t_2} \in F(\alpha_1 + t_1\alpha_2)$ then clearly $\alpha_1 \in F(\alpha_1 + t_1\alpha_2)$ as well.
This ends that theorem.
Now $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3})$ applies to the above by the primitive root theorem.
Then $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}) \subset \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3}) = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2}+ t\sqrt{3})$
Now notice that $t \neq 0$ necessarily and that $t\sqrt{2} + t\sqrt{3} = a_0 + a_1\sqrt{2} + a_1t\sqrt{3} $
implying $ 0 = a_0 + (a_1-t)\sqrt{2} + (a_1t-t)\sqrt{3} $
 and as $\{a_0,\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3}\}$ is a linearly independent set we have $a_1 = t = a_1t$ then $t=1$


Quick, who bears the primary responsibility for training children to trust Christ and follow Christ as mature disciples? If you answered parents, you are correct.
An epidemic has developed in churches across the United States, one that actually is destroying our families and hurting our children in the process. We have unwittingly allowed the view that the church bears the primary responsibility for training our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord to replace and undermine God's plan of discipleship.
When this view takes hold, the church tends to be viewed less as a family of faith in which we participate and more as a grocery store where we swing by to pick up our religious goods for the week. We drop our kids off in their respective children's or youth ministry and entrust that the trained leaders will teach our kids all they need to know to follow Jesus. The more we drop them off, the more they will learn. The more they learn, the safer they will be as they grow up into adults. Parents are divorced from the process, other than serving as leaders of various ministries.
This model has failed churches and families. The evidence is staggering. One recent study concluded that 70% of young adults (ages 23-30) dropped out of church for at least a year between the ages of 18-22. Many of those who dropped out were active members in their church youth group.
You will find all these commitments emphasized in the children and youth ministries of Homesteads Baptist Church.
The Family Equipping Ministry Model is not a one step, fix-all that makes parenting or even children's ministry easy. In fact, it is probably a much more difficult paradigm to employ than the traditional children's ministry model. At Homesteads Baptist Church, however, we believe our children (and yours) are worth the investment. We hope you will join us for the process of transformation.

Developer Edmund McMillen and programmer Tyler Glaiel, most known for The Binding of Isaac and Super Meat Boy, have been working on a "secret project" next to the scheduled update for The Binding of Isaac.
The developer revealed in a blog post the new booster content coming to The Binding of Isaac, as well as explaining why they weren't successful in releasing booster content every month as promised. Later on in the post, McMillen reveals that he and Glaiel have been working on a new game that is "coming close" to announcement as well as getting an official release date.
He briefly discusses some of its features, describing the game as "hard," "weird," "personal" and "one of the largest games" he has made. Most importantly though, it's a new IP for the studio.
On a side note, not many of you know this, but Tyler and I have been in crunch mode for the past 3 months trying to finish this secret project. We are coming close to announcing it and its release date, so keep and eye out for it, I don't want to spoil the fun yet but I can say this.
It's hard, it's weird, it's personal, it has amazing controls, it's a totally new unannounced IP and its easily one of the largest games I've ever made level wise.
Are you excited for this new game?
