Hindsight is 20/20, isn't that what they say?
10 things I wish I had known before I had a baby
Let me preface this with a disclaimer: this is just one experience. Moms everywhere experience pregnancy and birth and the "fourth trimester" very differently. This is just a list of the things I wish I had known before my little one came home from the hospital. Buckle up, because it's a pretty long list
Breastfeeding may be the most natural thing in the world for you. And…it may not. Not every mama is "born to breastfeed." What do I mean by that? Here it is:
When I say breastfeeding HURTS, I'm not exaggerating, I'm not being a wimp. When I say you'll probably be sitting on the side of your bed sobbing in pain every time baby gets hungry, it's no joke. But when I tell you it's so worth it, I mean every syllable. The pain doesn't last. But the accomplishment, strength, and confidence you will feel does.
Breastfeeding is a wonderful feeling that creates a stronger bond with your baby than anything else I've done. But breastfeeding isn't for everyone; and that's okay. It's alright if you have to supplement with formula. Fed is best.
Happy mommy=happy baby. Breastfeeding is a feat in itself. If you produce enough and get through it without any complications, that's amazing! But it may take a lot out of a mama's mental health, and it's okay to stop and reevaluate if it's the best thing for you and baby. A mama's mental health is crucial to a baby's well-being. If you need to take a break from the breast, that's okay.
2. It takes longer than 6-8 weeks for your hormones to go back to "normal"
If you've been to a prenatal appointment and asked your provider about postpartum recovery, you've probably gotten a generic answer. Most providers will say it takes about six to eight weeks for the body and mind to get over childbirth. I'm here to tell you that in most cases, it takes way longer than that.
I remember sitting on my couch eight weeks after having my baby, crying about having to go back to work, wondering why I didn't feel like myself yet. I felt like a mom, and I was absolutely head-over-heels in love with my baby. But I still didn't feel "normal." I spoke with my midwife, and she told me that it is completely normal.
So, if it's been 6-8 weeks and you still don't feel "back to normal," that's okay. Give yourself some credit and some grace. And if you think you need to, give your healthcare provider a call. If you feel like it might be something more intense, definitely call and ask about postpartum depression. There are screening questions to ask yourself, and if you think you need to, take this PPD screening quiz: BabyCenter Postpartum Depression Screening.
3. You may not bond with your baby at first. And that's OKAY!
Coming from a mama that didn't immediately bond with her baby, it's totally normal, and way more common than you think. 25-35% of parents report not bonding with their baby, depending on the type and intensity of the bond (Bonding with baby: what it should feel like and how long it may take). According to a recent Scandinavian study, it's normal for bonding time to be impaired, or slow.
4. Physical Therapy!
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is a thing, and all mamas should know about it! Coming from someone who didn't know about it until they scheduled me for my physical therapy appointment AFTER birth, I SO wish I had known about this ahead of time! There are so many benefits.
5. You don't need as much stuff in your hospital bag as you think
Pinterest will have you believe you need to pack like you're going away for a ten day cruise when you go to the hospital to have a baby. If you've chosen a hospital or birth-center labor and delivery experience, you only need a few essentials in your bag. Here's a list of the things I actually used while I was there:
Essential Oil diffuser and bag of pre-chosen oils
One nightgown
Favorite pillow
Birth Plan / Insurance Information
Going home outfit for mama and baby
The hospital or birthing center has literally everything else you might need or want while you're there. If you want to take your own stuff, by all means, have at it. But the last thing I was thinking about while we were at the hospital was looking into my suitcase and pulling out a blanket or socks. I'm a big fan of hospital socks, and took advantage of asking for at least two pair the entire 48 hours we were there.
6. Just get the Hands-Free pump.
If you're a working mama, then this is for you. hands-free pumps were so new when I got pregnant, and there wasn't enough information about them. But so many mamas I knew were buying them and all raved about them, especially when they went back to work.
It had me sitting in the dark, in my classroom, during planning and meal times, wondering why I hadn't just bought the darn hands-free pump. My next pregnancy, I will most definitely be ordering one.
7. It's not like in the movies…no, really.
Truly, honestly, for real for real, going into labor is NOTHING like the movies. If your water breaks (yes IF, not when), it's definitely not going to look like a waterfall. Your baby doesn't always just pop out after three pushes, and you don't always immediately feel excruciating pain.
8. There's a such thing as a fourth trimester
Whaaaat? I had NO idea about this when I was pregnant until about 30 weeks. And then my midwife was like, "let's talk about the fourth trimester." My jaw dropped to the floor and I said "WHAT?"
It's true, the fourth trimester is a thing. But, thank goodness, your body won't have a baby inside of it for this one. The fourth trimester is the period of time twelve weeks after delivery. This is what they call the time after labor and delivery where you and baby go through big physical and emotional changes. Baby is adjusting to being outside the womb, and you are adjusting to being a mama.
9. Don't be afraid to ask for help
Take it from someone who has recent experience being a new mom: you cannot do it all. And if you don't have someone helping you at home–sometimes even if you do–things start to pile up. It may feel like the end of the world asking anyone for help, but I promise it's not. Have a designated person that you trust come to your home once you've had baby, and ask just them to do things for you. It makes it easier on people with anxiety if only one person does things. On top of that, having someone clean your house before you give birth brings a whole new level of comfort and relaxation that you never knew was possible.
10. You're going to deal with and have to learn things you never knew possible. But it's possible, and you can do it…
Once you have a baby, you don't really have a choice to say, "meh, I don't really like this motherhood gig." There are going to be things you never thought you would do in your wildest dreams. Some of them will come fairly easy to you, and some of them you will muddle through. But they will get done because you have no other choice. And trust me when I say, you'll feel so accomplished when you complete any one of those tasks. Picking boogers, aspirating little noses, clipping tiny fingernails, nursing a sick baby back to health for the first time, etc. It gets easier, and you feel like superman–or supermom–when you get them done.
So, what's the tea?
In the end, you will do just fine, Mama. When you become a mother, you just know. Some things you will find out before baby arrives. Other things you will have thrust upon you in the heat of the moment. Either way, you'll get through them. Tune out what everyone else is saying. Tune into your natural mama instinct. It's there. I promise.

Vanilmandelate is a metabolite of epinephrine and norepinephrine (also known as adrenaline and noradrenaline).
It is excreted in the urine and can be used as an indirect measure of epinephrine/norepinephrine levels.
Organic acid tests usually include this metabolite on their testing panels.
Salivary cortisol is typically included as an add-on to organic acid testing, to get a more complete look at stress hormones.
What do epinephrine and norepinephrine do in the body?
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are catecholamines that function as both neurotransmitters and hormones.
Epinephrine is also called adrenaline, and norepinephrine is also called noradrenaline. They are responsible for the "fight or flight" sensations we experience during periods of stress and anxiety.
Increased mental focus, clarity, and alertness.
Increased blood sugar levels, to fuel our body.
Increased blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing rate.
Increased need to urinate, defecate, or vomit.
Blood is shunted away from the digestive tract & towards the muscles, in case we need to run.
The effects of epinephrine and norepinephrine are relatively short-acting. They have a half-life of just a few minutes and are degraded very quickly.
Where are norepinephrine & epinephrine produced?
They are produced in by the nervous system and the adrenal medulla.
Norepinephrine acts mostly as a neurotransmitter (although it is released from the adrenal glands as well), while epinephrine acts as a hormone.
The amino acid tyramine is taken up into the axon bulb (the end of the neuron).
There it is converted to DOPA and then dopamine.
Dopamine is stored inside vesicles.
Dopamine is then converted to norepinephrine inside those vesicles.
Norepinephrine is stored until it is ready to be released into the synaptic gap.
When your brain detects a threat, it activates the HPA axis (Hypothalamic Pituitary Adrenal axis).
Your amygdala (the threat-detection/emotion processing center of your brain) identifies a threat.
The amygdala signals your hypothalamus (the area of your brain that controls your autonomic nervous system) to kick into action.
The hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH).
The CRH stimulates your pituitary gland (the endocrine gland at the base of your brain).
Your pituitary gland then releases adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) into the bloodstream.
The ACTH eventually reaches your adrenal glands, located on top of your kidneys.
This signals the adrenal medulla to convert norepinephrine to epinephrine & release it into the bloodstream.
Once epinephrine/norepinephrine are released, the stress hormone cortisol usually follows, which has longer acting effects.
How is dopamine used to make epinephrine and norepinephrine?
Dopamine can be converted to norepinephrine, which can be turned into epinephrine.
This occurs through the enzymes dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH) and phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT), respectively.
The 1st step (dopamine to norepinephrine) requires copper and vitamin C as cofactors.
The 2nd step (norepinephrine to epinephrine) requires SAMe, cortisol, and proper production of the PNMT enzyme from the PNMT gene.
How are norepinephrine & epinephrine broken down?
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are broken down to VMA (vanilmandelate) by the enzymes MAO and COMT.
Vanilmandelate is then excreted in the urine.
What are the consequences of too much epinephrine/norepinephrine?
Normally, epinephrine/norepinephrine levels follow somewhat of a circadian rhythm. They tend to be higher in the morning and lower in the evening (1).
It can also increase the risk of chronic diseases, since it shifts your body out of "rest and digest" mode, and keeps it in "fight or flight." Not allowing your body the time to rest and repair is not good!
What could it mean if homovanillate (HVA – dopamine marker) and vanilmandelate (VMA – epi/norepi marker) are both HIGH on a urine organic acid test?
High HVA = there was lots of dopamine to break down.
High VMA = there was lots of epinephrine and/or norepinephrine to break down.
COMT or MAO mutations that increase dopamine, epinephrine, or norepinephrine levels.
Taking certain supplements, like tyrosine, phenylalanine, or dopa mucuna (from velvet beans), which are dopamine precursors.
Non-selective alpha-blockers for blood pressure (phenoxybenzamine) can increase norepinephrine levels (8).
SNRI medications (serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) that increase serotonin and norepinephrine levels (duloxetine/Cymbalta) (9).
NDRI medications (norepinephrine dopamine reuptake inhibitors) that increase norepinephrine and dopamine levels (Wellbutrin/bupropion) (10).
Tricyclic medications (amitriptyline/Elavil) that increase norepinephrine levels (8).
Parkinson's medications (Levodopa, carbidopa) will increase dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine synthesis (8).
Amphetamines or amphetamine-like drugs (cocaine, ecstasy) that increase norepinephrine levels (8).
Stimulants like caffeine and nicotine (through food/beverages, cigarettes, or pills/supplements) will increase norepinephrine (8).
Opioids (but this might only affect HVA levels, not VMA levels) (11).
Alcohol consumption (increases dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine levels (12, 13).
Neuroblastoma (cancer of the nervous system, often occurs in the adrenal glands) (14).
Tumor in the adrenal medulla (pheochromocytoma) – more likely to cause high levels of VMA than HVA. Usually also linked to high blood pressure and excessive sweating (15).
What if HVA (dopamine marker) is high and VMA (epi/norepi marker) is normal or low on an organic acids test?
If dopamine is HIGH and epinephrine/norepinephrine are low or normal, there may be an issue in the conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine.
Rule out a c. difficile infection (can do a stool test). C. diff produces a molecule called p-cresol that can inhibit the DBH enzyme that is required to convert dopamine to norepinephrine (18).
Are they taking quercetin supplements? (Quercetin can be converted to HVA in the gut, so can raise HVA levels, but won't affect VMA levels) (19).
Are their cortisol levels low? If so, they may not be producing enough epinephrine & norepinephrine, and VMA may be low.
Are they taking opioids? This could raise dopamine/HVA levels.
Do they have a DBH enzyme deficiency (very rare)? This could affect the conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine, and cause low VMA levels. This is usually linked to poor exercise tolerance, orthostatic hypotension, nasal stuffiness, sexual dysfunction, and droopy eyelids (20).
Could have a neuroblastic tumor if HVA is very very high (14).
Eating a diet super rich in polyphenols (tomatoes, onions, tea) could raise HVA levels in some people (21).
Did they eat velvet beans recently? They contain L-dopa and can raise dopamine levels (22).
What if VMA (epi/norepi marker) is high, and HVA (dopamine marker) is low?
Are they on stimulant medications?
What if HVA and VMA are both low?
Important to look at the cofactors for all of these reactions!
Are they not eating enough of these nutrients? Do they have conditions affecting their absorption? How is their gut health?
Do they have MAO or COMT mutations that slow these pathways?
Are they not eating enough protein? (Tyrosine and phenylalanine amino acid precursors for dopamine) (23).
Are their cortisol levels too low? Is their HPA axis "fatigued"?

Q: Github; compare doesn't show the same file as the one in the branch So I have a main branch (2.1) which functions of a Fork of a repository, which I synch upstream.
From that I branched my own version (let's call it VR_2.1), which I want to manually keep up to date, because there are 2 config files which I change that I need to check before merging.
Now, the VR_2.1 config file when I browse to it via web it shows all the changes I pushed. However when I compare that branch to the normal synched 2.1 I get a completely different config, the default it looks like. How is this possible?
It is my first time Githubbing, :) I looked around but couldn't find it.
Tips are welcome, cheers

A: If you compare two branches on GitHub, you'll notice the URL looks something like:
https://github.com/org/repo/compare/2.1...VR_2.1

Notice the 3 dots between the branches. This type of diff shows changes in VR_2.1 since the two branches diverged.
If you change the URL to use 2 dots instead of 3 (i.e. 2.1..VR_2.1), you'll see the diff between these branches. You'll also notice the arrow between the two branch names changes from a ← to a ↔.
GitHub has documentation on comparing commits..
For more information on diff notations in git, including some helpful visual diagrams in the accepted answer, see What are the differences between double-dot ".." and triple-dot "..." in Git diff commit ranges?

Q: Threads and parallel programming Say I want to compute the product of n complex numbers.
What I'm trying to do is that compute the product of the 2*i and 2*i+1 (i=0;i<n/2) complex numbers in threads. ie, clump 2 numbers together and compute their product, therefore I shall get n/2 products. Then again perform the same action on these n/2 products. So on and so forth, and carry on till the value of n is 1.
Here's my code
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<pthread.h>
struct complex{
    int a;
    int b;
};
struct complex arr[1000];
struct arg {
    struct complex arr1;
    struct complex arr2;
    int i;
};
//struct arg *argv;
struct arg *argv=malloc(sizeof(struct arg));
void *multiplier(struct arg *argv)
{
    int real,imaginary;
    real=(argv->arr1.a)*(argv->arr2.a)-(argv->arr1.b)*(argv->arr2.b);
    imaginary=(argv->arr1.a)*(argv->arr2.b)+(argv->arr1.b)*(argv->arr2.a);
    arr[argv->i].a=real;
    arr[argv->i].b=imaginary;
    printf("real=%d imaginary=%d no=%d\n",real,imaginary,argv->i);
    pthread_exit(0);
}
int main(void)
{
    int n,i,j,flag=0,q;
    pthread_t tid;
    pthread_attr_t attr;
    pthread_attr_init(&attr);
    scanf("%d",&n);
    for(i=0;i<n;i++)
        scanf("%d + i%d",&arr[i].a,&arr[i].b);
    for(i=0;i<n;i++)
        printf("%d + i%d\n",arr[i].a,arr[i].b);
    while(n!=0)
    {
        if(n%2==1)
            flag=1;
        else
            flag=0;
        for(i=0;i<n/2;i++)
        {
            argv->arr1.a=arr[2*i].a; /* SEG FAULT HERE */
            argv->arr1.a=arr[2*i].b;
            argv->arr2.a=arr[2*i+1].a;
            argv->arr2.a=arr[2*i+1].b;
            argv->i=i;
            pthread_create(&tid,&attr,multiplier,(void *) argv);
        }
        pthread_join(tid,NULL);
        if(flag==1)
        {
            arr[n/2].a=arr[n-1].a;
            arr[n/2].b=arr[n-1].b;
        }
        n=n/2;
    }
    return(0);
}

However my code gives me seg fault at line 45. I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with it but to no avail. I probably might be making a fundamentally horrendous error, but do  help me out.
EDIT 1:
Probably the most stupid error ever.
I can't allocate memory globally like the way I just did.
I just inserted the Malloc into the main function and the program works.

A: Each thread needs it's own memory passed in via argv to not overwrite the other thread data.
So you might liek to move this line
struct arg * argv = malloc(sizeof(struct arg));

to here:
for(i = 0; i < n/2; ++i)
    {
        struct arg * argv = malloc(sizeof(*argv));
        argv->arr1.a = arr[2*i].a;

Also checking the result of the calls malloc() might not be a bad idea.

Then let the thread function free() its memory when its done with it:
void * multiplier(struct arg * argv)
{
    ...

    free(argv);

    pthread_exit(0);
}

Also the thread function to be passed to pthread_create()is defined as:
void *(*)(void *)

So you shall declare yours this way:
void * multiplier(void * pvargv)
{
    struct arg * argv = pvargv;
    ...

A: It's pretty hard to figure out which of your lines is line 45.
Also, this looks very wrong:
struct arg *argv=malloc(5*sizeof(struct complex));

It's very rarely correct to mis-match types like that, and struct complex looks nothing like struct arg, so this really seems strange. Also, you shouldn't have a global named argv while u

A: First, I'm not sure if the memory size you allocate for argv is sane enough. Second, you modify this argv thing, create a thread and immediately overwrite it, probably, before the thread even gets its hands on it.


After the full success of the first three challenges ROADEF'99, ROADEF'2001 and ROADEF2003, the French Society of Operations Research and Decision Analysis (ROADEF)	decided to organize consecutively a fourth challenge. This time the results will be presented at the annual conference of the French Operations Research society ROADEF which will be held on february 14-16, 2005 at Tours (closed to the famous Loire castles). The dates and the place of the conference will be announced later.
The subject of this fourth challenge is proposed and sponsored by the automobile manufacturer RENAULT.
This challenge is open to everybody, in particular to young researchers, except those working for the industrial partner having submitted the problem, or any of its subsidiaries.
We remind that this Challenge has double goals. On the one hand, it allows some of our industrial partners to witness recent developments in the field of Operations Research and Decision Analysis, and young researchers to face up to a decisional problem, often complex, occurred in industry. The challenge will give them an opportunity to explore the requirements and difficulties encountered in industrial applications. On the other hand, we hope that this challenge will help to establish a permanent partnership between manufacturers and young scientists on industrial size projects which require both high scientific qualification and the real-life practices in companies making use of decision analysis. Since the Senior category has been added, this challenge allows qualified researchers to show their knowledge and demonstrate their know-how on pratical problems. This gives opportunities to establish partnerships with industrial companies.
We encourage and invite industrial partners, public or private orgnizations to submit new proposals for forthcoming challenges.


To send a text message from your computer to someone's cell phone, do the following.
A complete list of cell phone suffixes are provided at the end of the steps.
Don't insert any dashes or spaces in the cell number, just the digits.
Tab to the subject field and put in a subject line.
Tab to the edit field and put in your message. Then send as usual.
When I sent a text message to my Telus Mobility Cell number from my Outlook email account the text message seemed to come from the number, 999-999-9999, followed by my email address. When I tried to reply from the text message, it didn't work as that number does not receive replies, and it sent me a text message indicating that I must reply using the email address of the original sender. When I did that it was sent as a normal email using the iPhone's Native Email app.
Here is a very long list of email suffixes you add to the cell phone number. Note: Every suffix listed here is written with the word "at" rather than the @ sign. It is listed alphabeticly.
Where PhoneNumber equals your 10 digit phone number without dashes or spaces.
I've always been confused by the instructions about "replying above this line" as I don't really get what that means.
In any case, should you receive this, very interesting info here. I sent an email to myself and received the text message that I wasn't subscribed and if I wanted to be subscribed to type "yes" in reply.
So, not knowing where this would take me with Rogers, I thought I would delete the text and see if I could ask you about subscribing to these services.

OARE GENERAL INFORMATION:
What is OARE?
OARE (Online Access to Research in the Environment) is a public-private consortium designed to improve access to scientific research in developing countries by providing high quality, timely, relevant, environmental and related sciences journals and other scientific content for free or at nominal cost.
Who administers OARE?
OARE is coordinated by the United Nations Environment Programme, Yale University, and leading scientific and technical publishers on behalf of its many public and private partners.
When was OARE started?
Band 1 of OARE was launched October 2006. OARE launched Band II in October 2007.
How long will OARE continue?
In July 2006, participating publishers unanimously agreed to continue OARE until at least 2015.
What does Band 1 and Band 2 mean?
The Bands are two groups of countries based loosely on GNI per capita (World Bank figures). Institutions in countries with GNI per capita below $1250 (OARE Band 1) are eligible for free access. Institutions in countries with GNI per capita between $1250 and $3500 (OARE Band 2) are eligible for access for an annual fee of $1,000 per institution per year. Institutions in Band 2 countries receive a free trial-period enrollment of three months.
Who are the partners?
The OARE partners are a diverse group of leading scientific and technical publishers, scholarly societies and associations, multilateral organizations, universities, foundations, and other development institutions working together to help achieve OARE development objectives.
OARE PARTNERS
Is it possible to submit journal(s) for inclusion in OARE?
Yes, we are always pleased to provide OARE users with access to new peer reviewed scientific research, monographs and textbooks.
What are the requirements for becoming a partner publisher?
The main requirements for participation are that the journals, books and other related resources contain, all or in part, research that would be of value to professionals or researchers working in at least one of the many environment related scientific fields, broadly defined. Journals, books and other submissions must be available online in their full text version. Please write to us at content@oaresciences.org for further information on submitting your content to OARE.
USER ELIGIBILITY:
How can I find out if my country is eligible to participate?
You can consult the list of eligible countries on the eligibility page of our website.
How do you determine which countries are eligible?
The eligibility of a country is based loosely on GNI per capita (World Bank figures, 2006). Institutions in countries with GNI per capita below $1250 (OARE Band 1) are eligible for free access. Institutions in countries with GNI per capita between $1250 and $3500 are eligible for access at a for an annual fee of $1,000 per institution per year. Institutions in Band 2 countries receive a free trial-period enrollment of three months.
Why are the lists of eligible countries based on 2006 GNI data?
OARE eligibility criteria are based on the data available when the consortium was launched in 2006. We recognize that the GNI of any country may change from year to year, and intend to follow developments with regular reviews. We will publicize any changes that are made to the current criteria that might affect your ability to participate in OARE.
Which type of institutions are eligible?
OARE benefits public and non-governmental organizations performing environment-related work. Examples of eligible institutions whose staff and students may have access to the journals are: universities and colleges, professional training schools, research institutes, government offices and agencies, libraries, public media, and local, regional and national non-governmental organizations.
Why are some countries not eligible if GNI is less than US$3500?
The publishers participating in OARE have not, for the time being, extended their offer to countries where they have significant levels of existing subscriptions and, in some cases, local sales staff.
USER REGISTRATION:
How can I register my institution to use OARE?
If you determine that you meet the eligibility criteria listed on our website, please complete the on-line registration form. Only one registration is required per institution. We will send you instructions for getting started and a license agreement to sign with the terms of use.
I filled out the registration form, can I now access OARE?
Once the OARE staff have processed your completed registration form, you will be contacted and given detailed instructions on how to access and use the system. This usually takes two to three weeks. It is essential that your institution complete all of the fields in the registration form with the information requested. Failure to complete all of the fields in the form will result in delays in processing your application.
Who may use the OARE user name and password?
After the registration process is complete, OARE will send to the Librarian and Director a single password. OARE expects the Librarian and Director to share this password with all faculty, staff and students of the institution so that these individuals can access OARE resources directly. All members -- employees, faculty, researchers, teachers, administrators, staff and students -- of a registered institution, are encouraged to use the shared institution password to access OARE.
What do I do if my institution has been issued a password that has not been shared with all members?

text:
Marie Adélaïde Clothilde Xavière (Versailles, 23 september 1759 – Napels, 7 maart 1802), prinses van Frankrijk en koningin van Sardinië, was de zus van drie Franse koningen Lodewijk XVI, Lodewijk XVIII en Karel X. Ze was getrouwd met koning Karel Emanuel IV van Sardinië.

Leven

Marie Clothilde was de eerste, overlevende dochter van dauphin Lodewijk van Frankrijk en dauphine Maria Josepha. Ze was dus een kleindochter van koning Lodewijk XV van Frankrijk. Ze werd samen met haar vijf jaar jongere zusje Elisabeth, die ze tijdens de Franse Revolutie verloor, grootgebracht aan het Franse hof. Ze verloor haar ouders al op jonge leeftijd; haar vader stierf in 1765 en haar moeder in 1767.

Will Christians embrace 'Left Behind' film with Nic Cage and Hollywood's 'spin'
Left Behind, the bestselling book series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, is a huge favorite for many Christians, especially Evangelicals and Hollywood's 2014 adaptation of the story has many Christians concerned and many critics wondering how the target audience will respond.
The incredible success of the History Channel miniseries The Bible illustrated that the Christian audience will support faith based projects they "believe" in.
And there is the rub.
2014's Left Behind stars Nicolas Cage, not exactly the role model Christian and a point of contention for some.
"I have said before that MANY Christians I know do not have 'I Love Jesus' bumper stickers and especially in the entertainment world, there are a lot of Christian actors who have chosen to keep their personal faith a private matter," writer and producer Paul Lalonde said in December defending his star's faith.
"So while you may wish that someone was vocal about their faith, we should be careful declaring who is a believer and who is not. That is between them and God."
Hollywood is not supportive of faith based films, but 2014 will feature Noah by Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky, who proclaimed the film is "NOT a religious film" – more here.
Lalonde was even asked if the cast were Christians or this "was just another job."
Will Russell Crowe and 'Noah' help or hurt other Hollywood adaptations from the Bible?
"It was hard REACHING actors — many agents did not want to share a faith-based script with their clients and that was the biggest challenge," Lalonde responded. "Of those who actually saw the script though, I don't think more than one or two actually turned it down for it's Christian content. Some of the actors are believers. Some are evangelical and outspoken believers and others are believers in their private but not public lives. I will leave it up to them to decide what they share with their fans."
Not exactly a comforting story for skeptical fans.
Noah arrives in March and if the film is viewed as "insulting" to Noah, scripture or their religion, you can expect Christians to avoid Left Behind, no matter how Nic Cage's faith is spun.
The film is directed by Vic Armstrong, the famous stunt coordinator and stunt double, and the script was written by Paul Lalonde, John Patus based the novels.
Cage stars as Rayford Steele with Lea Thompson as his wife Irene. Hattie Durham is played by Nicky Whelan with Jordin Sparks, Quinton Aaron, Martin Klebba, Cassi Thomson and William Ragsdale also starring.
Left Behind arrives in theaters June 19, 2014.

I look forward to the new Left Behind movie. Admiring Cage as a quality actor. I hope he considers following the Lord, but what he owes this movie is simply…his best acting job. (Which most likely is what we will get.)
Message to "Hollywood" is simple here…
Get the faith part right. Embody it in a quality production.
Do not preach postmodern values thru the lips of faith characters…your audience will indeed notice and most will…run away.
VL Knutsen says:
Most people don't expect (or demand) that actors in the new Left Behind film be Christian. If they do the part well…are true to their character…and if the script, production, direction, etc. are done well, they have done their job well.
I do hope, tho, that Cage and the other actors seriously consider the Bible!
The 20th century Renaissance woman Dorothy L. Sayers (a mystery writer, Dante Scholar, speaker…and religious playwright) wrote some religious plays and basically asked that the actors be skilled at their work…She did not require a personal faith in the Lord. Her only caveat (so I read) was that they not be so publicly notorious in other areas…that it might distract from the play. Otherwise, she simply wanted skilled actors.
Why have so many Christians (notably of many denominations) liked "The Bible"…"Passion of the Christ"??? These professional level productions also stay true to the essence of the Christian message.
D.L. Kennedy says:
I wish Christians would be less judgmental and not so prone to speaking in "Christian-ese". They have no idea what a hindrance they are being to the gospel. I've followed the Left Behind Reboot page at FB for awhile, and many of the Christians there come across as harsh, unloving, and unkind. Much of what they post is just plain embarrassing. Those aren't exactly "selling" points for non-believers. Many people would follow Christ if it weren't for Christians. Thank goodness for ministries like RBC and John Ankerberg. They show a side of Christianity that is rarely seen… thoughtful, humble, intelligent. Such scarcity is sad because that's what Christianity should always look like.


Married since 2004, we make our home in the Southwest. I'm a Southern girl who misses trees, loves to read and enjoys all things Auburn. Hubby is an Arizona native who is a beach addict and an amazing singer and musician. We're making our life together with our sweet girl and two kitties.
I currently live in Arizona, but was born and raised in Alabama, and in my heart I never really left. I've been fortunate enough to travel a bit, and still think the South is the prettiest place there is. I'm a Southern girl through-and-through, and my accent still makes an appearance occasionally despite the many years since leaving my hometown. My momma taught me to call you "ma'am" and "sir", so don't be surprised to hear that in our conversation. (You'll probably hear "fixin to" and "bless her heart" as well). I love the smell of gardenias, climbing-trees, anything monogrammed and think Forrest Gump is one of the best movies ever.
I am not the best housekeeper in the world, and you will usually find my sink full of dishes and laundry stacked on my dining table. But our family is happy and healthy, and I would rather spend my evenings with them and go to bed at a decent time than clean, anyway.
Hubby and I have a sweet daughter, Maggie, and two angels in Heaven. We are blessed with amazing families and friends. We try to be the best Catholic Christians we can but no one here is perfect, so we thank Jesus everyday for mercy and forgiveness and grace.
And just for fun … I love to laugh and really enjoy stand-up comedy. I can eat chicken pot pie until I'm sick and drink sweet tea by the bucket. Reading is my obsession. That and the SEC – I love me some college football, folks (can I get a War Eagle?!). Chocolate is my downfall, especially brownies. And Fruit Loops. I prefer plays to movies but take much pleasure from both. I love my girlfriends and don't get to see them nearly as often as I'd like. Ditto my godchildren. My kitties drive me to complete distraction but I love them, too, and they are awfully entertaining. I enjoy cooking for friends and like trying new recipes, though I have a knack for choosing the most involved ones out there. Since having my daughter I have become very interested in photography and am learning little bits along the way.
So glad you stopped by, and I hope you visit again soon.

PH Money Matters: This Week in Washington
This Week in Washington for April 15, 2019
By Dina Ellis on Apr 15, 2019
Posted in Weekly Update
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal set a new April 23rd deadline for the IRS to comply with his request for six years of the President's personal and business tax returns. The move came after the agency missed the original Wednesday deadline, with Treasury Secretary Mnuchin instead responding that he needed additional time to review and consider the request "to ensure that our response is fully consistent with the law and the Constitution." A subpoena is the next likely step, after Neal noted the IRS has "an unambiguous legal obligation" to comply. The President continued to cite an ongoing audit as his reason for declining to release the returns, saying "while I'm under audit, I won't do it."
Following reports that the administration was "strongly considering" transporting detained illegal immigrants to so-called sanctuary cities, the President announced via Twitter on Saturday that the "USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities." His tweet stood in contrast to statements from the White House and Department of Homeland Security earlier in the week that the proposal was merely "a suggestion that was floated and rejected."
Other highlights of last week include:
Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) announced his bid for the presidency on Monday during an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
On Tuesday, Attorney General William Barr announced that he plans to release a redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report "within a week."
The President announced the departure of Secret Service Director Randolph Alles on Monday, one day after the resignation of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielson. James Murray, a career member of the USSS, will succeed him in May.
On Thursday, Greg Craig, who previously served as White House Counsel during the Obama administration, was indicted by a federal grand jury on counts of making false statements and concealing information regarding his work lobbying on behalf of Ukraine.
On Sunday South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg formally launched his presidential campaign, calling for "a new American spring."

Secretary Mnuchin clashed at times with Chairwoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), including a tense exchange over the length of the hearing. During his testimony, the Secretary urged the Committee to find a bipartisan solution to bridge the gap between federal and state laws regarding marijuana enforcement, saying the discrepancy was causing "significant conflict." He also indicated that the Committee was "headed in the right direction" in their work on anti-money laundering legislation.
The Honorable Steven T. Mnuchin, Secretary, U.S. Department of the Treasury
Hearing on "Holding Megabanks Accountable: A Review of Global Systemically Important Banks 10 years after the Financial Crisis": On Wednesday, the full Committee held a hearing to examine seven of the eight U.S.-based GSIBs, with topics spanning a diverse set of issues such as gender equality, student debt, the financial crisis, climate change, cybersecurity and interest rates, among others. During the hearing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she thought it was "absolutely" the right time to activate the countercyclical capital buffer, because "if we're not doing it now, in a time of a downturn we won't be as prepared."

LEGISLATION INTRODUCED AND PROPOSED
Tax Cuts for Workers and Families: Virginia Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, along with 42 of their colleagues, introduced the "Working Families Tax Relief Act (WFTRA)," which aims to cut taxes for workers and families by expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC). Sen. Warner noted that "by expanding two critical tax credits, this legislation will provide dependable financial relief to millions of low- and moderate-income households as well as families with children so that folks can finally focus on getting ahead."
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Salary Cap Enforcement: Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren (MA) and Republican Sen. Thom Tillis (NC) introduced the "Respect the Caps Act," which would close a loophole which has allowed compensation for executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to expand well beyond Congressionally-mandated limits. "Instead of enforcing the law, the FHFA has allowed executive compensation at Fannie to increase by $3.6 million and at Freddie, by $3.25 million," said Senator Warren.
Reinstate and Expand Glass-Steagall: Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), lead 29 members in introducing H.R. 2176, the "Return to Prudent Banking Act of 2019," which would reinstate and expand the historic provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 restricting affiliations between commercial and investment banks. In announcing the bill, Rep. Kaptur decried the "misguided deregulation [which] opened the floodgates for growth of financial institutions that are too big to fail and encouraged the type of risky behaviors that led to the crash of the American financial system in 2008."
Shutdown Protection: Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-VA) introduced H.R. 2290, the "Shutdown Guidance for Financial Institutions Act," which would require federal financial regulators to issue guidance encouraging banks and other financial institutions to work with consumers and businesses affected by a federal Government shutdown. Rep. Wexton said the measure was inspired by stories from her constituents during the recent government shutdown, including one "who was denied a mortgage due to a government shutdown she couldn't control," and pledged to "continue to work to safeguard our federal workforce should a government shutdown occur."
Veteran Loans: Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX) introduced H.R. 2305, the bipartisan "Veterans Member Business Loan Act," which would exclude veterans' loans from the statutory credit union member business loan cap as well as amend the Federal Credit Union Act to exclude extensions of credit made to veterans from the definition of a member business loan, thus increasing veterans' access to loans for small business purposes from a credit union. "It is critical that our servicemembers are equipped with the tools they need to find success in their transition to civilian life," said Rep. Don Young (R-AK), who also signed onto the measure.
Blockchain and Innovation: Congressmen Warren Davidson (R-OH) and Darren Soto (D-FL) introduced H.R. 2144, the "Token Taxonomy Act of 2019," which would amend the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to exclude digital tokens from the definition of a security, to direct the Securities and Exchange Commission to enact certain regulatory changes regarding digital units secured through public key cryptography, to adjust taxation of virtual currencies held in individual retirement accounts, to create a tax exemption for exchanges of one virtual currency for another, to create a de minimis exemption from taxation for gains realized from the sale or exchange of virtual currency for other than cash. Rep. Davidson touted the bill as necessary to "clarify the numerous conflicting state initiatives and regulatory rulings, and patchwork of judicial decisions, that have clouded certainty for entrepreneurs and businesses that use blockchain technology" and unlock the power of blockchain.
THIS WEEK ON THE HILL
No hearings held during recess period.
Federal Reserve Invites Comment on Regulatory Framework Proposal: On Monday, the Federal Reserve invited public comment on a regulatory framework that would more closely match the rules for foreign banks with the risks they pose to the U.S. financial system. Under the proposed framework, foreign banks with US$100B or more in U.S. assets would be sorted into categories of increasingly stringent requirements based on several factors. The factors, which reflect banks' complexity and risk to the financial system, include asset size, cross-jurisdictional activity, and reliance on short-term wholesale funding, nonbank assets, and off-balance sheet exposure.
Federal Reserve Publishes Archive of Transcripts: On Friday, the Federal Reserve Board published transcripts of more than 50 interviews with former policymakers and former senior staff that chronicle nearly half a century of Federal Reserve history. The interviews, including with former chairs Paul A. Volcker, Alan Greenspan, and Janet L. Yellen, provide personal recollections of important economic, monetary policy, and regulatory developments. They also provide impressions of life and culture at the Federal Reserve Board.
SEC Regulatory Guidance Risks Creating a "Minefield" Says Commissioner Peirce: Speaking at the SEC's annual conference on Monday, Commissioner Hester Peirce described her concern that the agency's regulatory guidance could be creating a "minefield" of "secret law" that would be detrimental to businesses. She noted that it, "binds market participants like law does, but is immune from judicial and even commission review," and that "there is a line that can be crossed" in which staff guidance goes from "being merely helpful lore to something that is more akin to secret law."
SEC Issues Agenda for April 15 Meeting of the Fixed Income Market Structure Advisory Committee: On Thursday, the SEC released the agenda for the April 15 meeting of the Fixed Income Market Structure Advisory Committee, which will include panel discussions on (1) Block Pilot and Reference Data Service Proposal; (2) Draft Recommendation on Pennying in the Corporate Bond and Municipal Securities Markets; (3) Draft Recommendations on Certain Principal Transactions with Advisory Clients; (4) Updates from the Credit Ratings, ETFs and Bond Funds, and Corporate Bond Transparency Subcommittees; and (5) LIBOR Transition: Implications for the Corporate Bond and Municipal Securities Markets.
HUD Issues Request for Information on Opportunity Zones: On Friday, HUD released an RFI seeking public input on how the Department can use its existing authorities to maximize the beneficial impact of Opportunity Zones for residents and their communities. "We are looking to better understand how HUD can better tailor its policies and help Opportunity Zones create more positive economic outcomes for the millions of Americans that live in these areas," sad Secretary Ben Carson.
Minutes from March FOMC Meeting Released: The minutes from the March 19-20 Federal Open Markets Committee were released on Wednesday, showing that officials see little risk of inflation, and will likely maintain interest rates at current levels. The minutes described that "a majority of participants expected the evolution of the economic outlook ... would likely warrant leaving the target range unchanged for the remainder of the year."
U.S., European Banking Union, and UK Officials to Meet for Planned Coordination Exercise on Cross-Border Resolution Planning: Senior officials representing resolution, regulatory and supervisory authorities, central banks, and finance ministries in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Banking Union will hold a meeting on Saturday, April 13, as part of a series of planned exercises to enhance understanding of one another's resolution regimes for global systemically important banks and strengthen coordination on cross-border resolution.
Treasury Sanctions Lebanese Money Launderer: On Thursday, Treasury's OFAC identified Lebanese national Kassem Chams and designated the Chams Money Laundering Organization as Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers (SDNT) pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act). "Kassem Chams and his international money laundering network move tens of millions of dollars a month in illicit narcotics proceeds on behalf of drug kingpins and facilitate money movements for Hizballah. We are targeting the financial infrastructure of these narcotics traffickers as part of this administration's unprecedented campaign to prevent Hizballah and its global terror affiliates from profiting off violence, corruption, and the drug trade," said Sigal Mandelker, Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. "Treasury continues to aggressively use its tools to cut off global support networks used by Hizballah to finance its nefarious activities."
Treasury Increases Pressure on Cuba to End Support to Maduro by Imposing Further Oil Sector Sanctions: On Friday, Treasury's OFAC designated four companies that operate in the oil sector of the Venezuelan economy, along with nine vessels, some of which transported oil from Venezuela to Cuba, as blocked property owned by the four companies. "We continue to target companies that transport Venezuelan oil to Cuba, as they are profiting while the Maduro regime pillages natural resources. Venezuela's oil belongs to the Venezuelan people, and should not be used as a bargaining tool to prop up dictators and prolong oppression," said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
COMINGS AND GOINGS AT THE AGENCIES
Rodney Hood Named Chairman of National Credit Union Administration: On Monday, the President named the newly sworn-in Rodney Hood as the Chairman of the National Credit Union Administration. Mr. Hood replaces Mark McWatters, who will remain on the board until the end of his term in August, or until a replacement is confirmed.
Federal Reserve Nominees Face Pushback from Republicans in Congress: The President's two reported choices for vacancies on the Federal Reserve Board, Herman Cain and Stephen Moore, are encountering some resistance from Republican Senators who question the seriousness of the candidates. Republican whip Senator John Thune (R-SD) noted that "there are concerns that are being voiced to the administration about qualifications," while Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said it would be a mistake to "turn the Federal Reserve into a more partisan entity." Four Republican Senators expressed their opposition to Mr. Cain, narrowing his potential path to confirmation if he were to be formally nominated.
Deadlocked Jury Leads to Mistrial in Thakkar Spoofing Trial: The jury in USA v. Thakkar failed to reach a verdict last week, leading to a mistrial. The case centered on claims that software programmer Jitesh Thakkar had aided and abetted the criminal securities transactions of a U.S.-based trader. The case highlighted the practice of spoofing, a form of market manipulation in which traders place a large volume of fake orders to give a false impression of supply and demand. The government has two weeks to decide if they want to proceed with a retrial.
OTHER NOTEWORTHY ITEMS
White House Seeks to Rein in Agency Regulation: A memorandum released by OMB on Thursday could have major implications for agencies seeking to implement regulations. The memo directs regulators to submit nonbinding guidance to the White House for review and determination by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as to whether it meets the "major" threshold for congressional review under the CRA.
Senator Brown Calls on Mnuchin to Address Emerging Leveraged Loan Threat: Senate Sherrod Brown (D-OH) wrote to Secretary Treasury Steven Mnuchin, urging him to "take decisive action" to address the emerging threat created by risks in the leveraged loan market. Sen. Brown noted that "the marked increase in the volume of leveraged loans originated by financial institutions has been accompanied by a notable decrease in underwriting standards" and said the FSOC must "consider whether this additional risk to the banking system serves as a public benefit to the real economy."
Democratic Senators Raise Concerns over CFPB's Oversight of Student Loan Services: In a letter to the CFPB, a group of Democratic Senators lead by Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) questioned the agency's supervisory diligence, saying "we are concerned that CFPB leadership has abandoned its supervision and enforcement activities related to federal student loan services." The Senators demanded information from the Bureau about its efforts in that space, as well as an explanation as to why there is not an information-sharing agreement between the CFPB and Department of Education.
IMF Cuts Growth Outlook to Lowest Level Since Financial Crisis: On Tuesday, the International Monetary Fund released its global growth outlook, forecasting that growth will drop from 3.5 to 3.3 percent this year, amid increased uncertainty surrounding Brexit, trade tensions and higher tariffs.

Israeli authorities must drop all charges against Palestinian human rights defender Issa Amro, who is facing prison time for his internationally recognized peaceful activism against Israel's illegal settlements in the city of Hebron, Amnesty International said today.
Magdalena Mughrabi, Deputy Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty International.
Issa Amro's trial is due to begin on 23 November at Ofer Military Court in the occupied West Bank.
"The deluge of charges against Issa Amro does not stand up to any scrutiny. In their determination to silence him and stifle his human rights work, the Israeli authorities have apparently even reopened a closed case file. If he is convicted we will consider Issa Amro a prisoner of conscience," said Magdalena Mughrabi, Deputy Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty International.
Issa Amro is a Palestinian human rights defender who runs the Youth Against Settlements group in Hebron. He and his group are committed to non-violent activism against the illegal settlements in Hebron and the discriminatory restrictions placed on Palestinians by the Israeli authorities in the city.
Issa Amro documents human rights violations in the city, organizes peaceful protests and distributes information about the settlements and the Israeli military occupation to visitors, journalists and diplomats.
On 7 June 2016, 18 charges were levelled against Issa Amro at Ofer Military Court, some going back as far as 2010. They range from "insulting a soldier" to "assault".
Some of the charges, such as "participating in a march without a permit", are not internationally recognizable criminal offences.
One of the charges of assault refers to an incident in a protest on 20 March 2013 that took place after Issa Amro had already been arrested and was therefore not present. A video from the scene clearly shows another man was responsible for the incident, in which a settler's camera was broken.
The protest was a peaceful one that coincided with US President Barack Obama's visit to the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Protesters wore masks of Obama's face, wore T-shirts with "I have a dream" written on them, and waved the Palestinian flag – actions that the authorities considered political, and therefore criminal.
Issa Amro told Amnesty International that he immediately realized that the charges were solely motivated by his activism, especially as many were from so long ago, and one case had previously been closed. His lawyer, Gaby Lasky, said that it was extremely unusual for cases to be re-opened in this way, and that the proper procedures to do so had not been followed by the police.
According to Issa Amro the policeman appeared to mishear this as "you are stupid", resulting in a further charge of "insulting a soldier". Issa Amro said that he was then taken to the police station and hit so hard in the back by a police officer that he still has to take medication.
He said the officers would not let him go to hospital for three hours, and that they ensured he went to a Palestinian facility so that news of his beating would not be reported in Israel.
"Issa Amro has faced a sustained campaign of harassment and assault at the hands of the Israeli military and settlers because of his activism. His case is emblematic of the climate of increasing hostility towards activists who protest the settlements, which are illegal under international law," said Magdalena Mughrabi.
Amnesty International has documented a pattern of attacks on Palestinian human rights defenders, including Issa Amro, in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT). An escalation of acts of intimidation by the government and attacks and threats by settlers and other non-state actors have created an increasingly dangerous environment for activists in Israel and in the OPT.
Hebron is one of two Palestinian cities in the OPT that have illegal Israeli settlements inside them. The Israeli authorities have long imposed a set of severe and deeply discriminatory restrictions on movement on Palestinian residents of Hebron that have amounted to collective punishment. Israeli forces in Hebron frequently fail to prevent attacks on Palestinians by settlers, and almost never hold those responsible to account.

Q: AES implementations What is the fastest method for decrypting data using AES in AS3? Someone told me that there are faster ways to decrypt data than the as3crypto implementation.
How many ways are there to encrypt/decrypt data using aes?
I managed to speed up the as3crypto aes implementation with about 40%, yet he says that aes should be faster.
I'm using aes to decrypt a stream to play music.
