In order to protect the planet for future generations, what will the fashion industry need to look like 20 years from now? On November 14 and 15, the brightest minds of the German fashion and textile industries will make their way to the Beyond Fashion Summit in Berlin, an annual gathering that aims to develop and promote sustainable fashion initiatives through innovation.

Now in its second year, the summit is organised by Beyond Berlin, a consulting agency for sustainable fashion and lifestyle labels. The agency's three founders - Lena Nocke, Frans Prins and Fredericke Winkler - are eager to make a difference in the fashion market and change the way fashion is consumed. Before launching the agency in November 2010, the trio had collectively racked up 15 years of experience in the sustainable fashion industry across a wide range of sectors including retail, design, consulting and academia. While working together at the eco-fashion trade show, THEKEY.TO., organising various workshops, one of Beyond Berlin's partners, Christliche Initiative Romero, encouraged them to organise a workshop themselves, leading to the births of the agency and the summit.
Every year, the summit focuses on a particular aspect of the industry; last year's inaugural summit focused on the relationship between "Ethics and Aesthetics". This year's theme is "Hypernature" - the interaction of ecology and technology. The summit asks the question: "In what way can new technologies and digital solutions support sustainable production?" The aim is to provoke discussion on how sustainable, technological advances can and will shape the fashion industry. After all, as the summit's website notes, it's not as simple as saying man-made is bad and "natural" is good; even many "sustainable" fashion products go through long, and possibly messy, supply chains. The summit questions whether a new vision of sustainability in fashion needed - one where technology plays a vital role.
And these days, according to Winkler, sustainability translates into innovation, technologies and improvement. "Anybody who claims that he is an expert in sustainable fashion is lying. [The field] is an ever-developing, never-ending process of innovation and new technologies. You need to constantly keep your head in the game to be up-to-date," Winkler explains bluntly. Winkler provides the example of turning tobacco plant by-products into textiles fibres using resource-friendly technologies that use less energy and water. It's these kinds of innovations, it seems, that will help bring sustainable fashion to a broader market.
...it's not as simple as saying man-made is bad and "natural" is good; even many "sustainable" fashion products go through a long, and possibly messy, supply chains. The summit questions whether a new vision of sustainability in fashion needed - one where technology plays a vital role.
Speakers for the summit will be coming from within and beyond the borders of Germany, including Beth Mortimer, a third-year PhD student at the University of Oxford studying the biology of silks with Oxford Silk Group; and Peter Waeber, a Swiss chemist and textile engineer who is the CEO of Bluesign, developers of an auditing system over the environmental, health and safety procedures of textile production processes.
Also included among the speakers is Suzanne DeVall, founder and chairman of Ploughboy Organics, an American company that is converting the tobacco plant into a renewable source of dyes and textiles. DeVall says she is happy to participate in the summit, believing that it "draws the leaders in fashion and technology," noting that "Germany has made a significant commitment and impact on safe and non-toxic manufacturing practices."
According to Winkler, 90 guests participated at last year's summit, and this year she expects between 120 to 150 guests. "Last time, we worked within our personal and business networks. This year we expect sales representatives from big companies; some of them will send two or three of their staff. That's a huge success for us." Smaller labels, independent designers and NGOs are also expected, including GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), the Clean Clothes Campaign and Greenpeace International.
On the summit's progress and impact so far, Winkler points out, "The hardest thing is to offer solutions for the mass industry, to get them interested, not just [solutions] for small labels and companies already focusing on sustainability." Despite the challenges, Winkler holds out hope that the summit will make an impact in the future: "If you look at it, we're growing quite slowly, but as one of my colleagues says, 'quality is more important than quantity' - to take your time and do it right rather than rush things. That's the sustainable way, isn't it?"

In October 2011, regulators released a joint proposal to implement Paul Volcker's idea which had been codified in Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act, commonly known as the Volcker Rule. At nearly 300 pages in length, the proposal asked commenters to respond to more than 1,000 questions. It immediately appeared that no one liked it.
Proponents of the Volcker Rule voiced concern that the proposal was too weak. They agreed that it was overly-complicated, but insisted that was the result of industry meddling. Even Volcker was cool on it. In the weeks and months following its release, industry participants, lawmakers and foreign regulators have weighed in claiming the proposal could cause a broad range of problems if implemented as written.
In this special report, Dodd Frank Update takes an in-depth look at some of proposal's key provisions and their potential impact. You'll learn why regulators crafted the proposal as they did, and why they believe more input from the public is necessary. You'll also learn about the issues surrounding the Volcker Rule proposal released by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Q: Why am I getting a java.nio.BufferOverflowException I tried to create a simple program just for fun, but I'm getting a BufferOverflowException:
ByteBuffer byteBuffer = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(10);
FloatBuffer floatBuffer = byteBuffer.asFloatBuffer();
floatBuffer.put(new float[] {1, 0, 0});

What could be wrong?

A: When you use ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(10); you ask for allocating 10 bytes of memory. You are then putting 3 float in that buffer. Each float uses 4 bytes of memory as per official documentation. So you are using 12 bytes and thus the overflow.
To solve the problem just use 12 bytes instead of 10.

There thiruvaimozhi no re-birth in this samsAram for the ones who sing these 10 pAsurams of such thiruvaimozhi. The essence of sAsthram is arththa panchakam, i.

Thank thiruvaimozhi for your contribution, Thiruvaimozhl eagerly for the rest of centums. Pl keep it up. In the beginning of thiruvAimozhi itself, nammAzhwAr declares that emperumAn blessed him divine blemishless knowledge and devotion out of his own thiruvaimozhi. This thiruvAimozhi is the most fitting prabandham to highlight the glories of thiruvaimozhi and nammAzhwAr. But it materializes when we stop stopping his grace from reaching us.
thiruvaimozhi This contains a collection of pAsurams sung by nammAzhwAr. Subsequently, he establishes that emperumAn preached his own glories through the words of nammAzhwAr. Thiruvaimozhi supreme lord kaNNan is the lord of nithyasUris and thiruvaimozhi and is the most qualified to be glorified.

This is why, our pUrvAchAryas spent their time fully engaged thiruvaimozhi discussing dhivya prabhandham and its meanings. SrIman nArAyaNan — paramapadham.

Hope thiruvaimozhi read and enjoy the available devotional literature regularly. But, in our sath sampradhAyam, bhagavath vishayam specifically means thiruvAimozhi and its meanings. We have e-books Thiruvaimozhi files upto 6.
Anyway, it is great that now you have developed the taste. Thus, thiruvAimozhi is thiruvaimozhi most celebrated and comprehensive literature that is to be found thiruvaimozhi glorification of SrIman nArAyaNanhis names, forms, auspicious qualities, thiruvaimozhi.

Shall be highly thankful and possible a small request from adiyen is that thiruvaimozhi the English work either at the beginning or at the end the pasuram in Tamil is included to have more clarity like my poor guys who do not know how to read the pasuram. Please print the Pasuram wordings in Tamil also. Would like to receive up dates. I feel the urge of learning thiruvaimozhi the and odd pasurams being in Tamil and myself being a Tamilian at my present age of Thiruvaimozhi much useful and better bay to taste the thiruvaimozhi of thiruvaimozhi.
Yes, we will be providing highlights from vyAkyAnams but not full translation of the vyAkyAnam.

This work will include:
Helping us understand the landscape and opportunities related to results-based financing, including structures like forgivable grants and social impact bonds, with a focus on challenges and risks associated with this approach
Developing a compelling value proposition for global health funders to support provider performance incentives and patient subsidies for high-impact health products, including financial models and decks, structuring terms, and winning letters of commitment
Leading engagement with global health funders, with a focus on developing output targets, supporting measurement plans for outcomes, working with lawyers to structure contracts, and building implementation milestones
Oversee external communications and strategic partnerships: You will be responsible for external messaging; engagement with healthcare and economics researchers; and partnerships development with healthcare and technology providers to enable us to deliver on the promise of scale with this model. This will include:
Overseeing communications manager to provide regular compelling touchpoints for conveying information about us externally
Leading engagement with economics and healthcare researchers, including building partnerships with world-class institutions to ask and answer questions related to healthcare delivery, incentives design, and market intelligence
Developing partnerships with technology and healthcare providers to leverage their networks to enable claims processing and incentive delivery at scale
Lead strategy development and support product and evaluation design to bolster this strategy: You will work with our executive team to refine a 5-year organizational plan with related targets and work with both our product team to build a roadmap to deliver on this and our data & insights team to ensure we're capturing relevant data and disseminating it appropriately. This will include:
Supporting on development of 5-year strategic plan and associated targets; work with operations, tech and other teams to translate this to 6-month and one-year OKRs while ensuring the team is adequately resourced to deliver on this
Collaborating with our product team to build a roadmap for care delivery, payments processing, and fraud mitigation
Working with our data & insights teams to build evidence base and evaluations plans for our RBF programs

Record of impactful thought leadership and advocacy to improve healthcare delivery
Deep understanding of debates around results-based financing (especially in healthcare) and different approaches to achieving these results
Prior experience working in a fast-paced entrepreneurial setting and/or in management consulting
Strong relationship builder with the ability to find common ground, build consensus, and strengthen collaboration among diverse stakeholders
Humility and personal stability. We are looking for passionate professionals that combine strong leadership skills with humor and patience
Creativity with strong problem-solving and analytical skills
Fluency with tools to measure health outcomes and pragmatic approach to capturing and disseminating this information
Ability to be an inspiring leader in a dynamic, multicultural, and values-based environment;
Advanced degree (Master's or Doctoral), preferably in public policy, economics, public administration, business, medicine, or public health.
We would prefer to have you based in East Africa, but are also open to having you help build our office in another location (preferably in Washington DC or London).
Maisha Meds aims to leverage technology to solve problems that affect millions of people across sub-Saharan Africa. Though we can't offer you catered meals and conference bikes like in Silicon Valley, we can promise you an opportunity to drive real, quantifiable change that literally saves lives. We are dedicated to our work and care deeply about our product's impact. You'll join our small and friendly team to grow Maisha Meds into a company serving tens of millions of people.
We offer competitive salary and benefits, including health insurance, 401(k) / pension, [in the future] stock options, and sponsorship for work visas in Kenya.

AbbVie and Eisai Announce an approval for additional indication of HUMIRA?, a fully Human Anti-TNFα Monoclonal Antibody, for the treatment of pyoderma gangrenosum for the first time in the world
AbbVie GK (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: James Feliciano, hereafter "AbbVie") and Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo; CEO: Haruo Naito, hereafter "Eisai") today announced an approval of additional indication of HUMIRA? (generic name: adalimumab [recombinant], hereafter "HUMIRA"), a fully human anti-TNFα monoclonal antibody, for the treatment of pyoderma gangrenosum (hereafter "PG"). HUMIRA was granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of PG in 2019. This indication counts for HUMIRA's 12th indication in Japan and makes HUMIRA the world's first drug indicated for the treatment of PG.
This approval of the additional indication is based on the data from the Japanese phase III clinical trial1 conducted in Japanese patients. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HUMIRA targeting the patients with active ulcers in Japan who were diagnosed with PG but were not sufficiently effective with local treatment, or who were judged to be unsuitable for local treatment. The proportion of patients achieving at 100 (targeted PG ulcer healed) of the target pyoderma gangrenosum ulcer area reduction (PG Area Reduction: PGAR) at Week 26 of administration, which is the primary endpoint of this trial, was 54.5% (12 of 22 patients)1. The most common adverse drug reactions in patients receiving HUMIRA were skin bacterial infection1.
PG is an inflammatory skin disease that rapidly progresses after its onset and is classified into the following 5 types: ulcerative type, bullous type, pustular type, vegetative type, and a type that develops around a stoma2. In ulcerative PG, the most common type, appears as painful, pustules, papules and nodules in the lower extremities, especially in the lower legs, and efferently expands to form raised ulcer lesions with infiltration on the margins3. The ulceration accompanied by intense pain and is known to cause serious effects on patients' quality of life (QOL)4. Although the pathogenic mechanism of PG is not fully understood, it is reported that approximately 20-30% of PG cases are caused by a slight injury or an external stimulus5. PG mostly affects people in their 50s to 70s, and its incidence is reported to be 3.0 per million/year in Japan6.
AbbVie and Eisai are committed to further contribute to the improvement of QOL of many more patients by making efforts to promote the appropriate use of HUMIRA, including its use for this indication, and to provide information on HUMIRA.
About HUMIRA
HUMIRA? is a fully human anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibody. In Japan, it is approved for "the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (including inhibition of the progression of structural damage); hidradenitis suppurativa, the treatment of plaque psoriasis, arthritic psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis*, intestinal Beh?et's disease, and non-infectious intermediate, posterior and panuveitis that are refractory to the conventional therapies, induction and maintenance therapy for moderate to severely active Crohn's disease (limited to patients who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy), and treatment of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (limited to patients who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy )."
* HUMIRA for Subcutaneous Injection 20 mg Syringe 0.2 mL is approved. HUMIRA for Subcutaneous Injection 80 mg Syringe 0.8 mL and HUMIRA for Subcutaneous Injection 80 mg Pen 0.8 mL are yet to be approved.
Nonproprietary name:
Adalimumab <recombinant>
Fully Human Anti- TNF- α Monoclonal Antibody "HUMIRA for Subcutaneous Injection 20 mg Syringe 0.2 mL; HUMIRA for Subcutaneous Injection 40 mg Syringe 0.4 mL; HUMIRA for Subcutaneous Injection 80 mg Syringe 0.8 mL; HUMIRA for Subcutaneous Injection 40 mg Pen 0.4 mL; and HUMIRA for Subcutaneous Injection 80 mg Pen 0.8 mL"

Climate change research at UH Hilo: Monitoring the coasts for signs of erosion and planning ahead
Posted on April 6, 2017 December 28, 2021 by Staff
Researchers are using small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to capture images of coastal areas across hundreds of acres—the aim is to try to make accurate predictions on how the rise in sea level will affect the coast and what that entails for communities and the county in regard to planning.
By Anne Rivera.
This story is the third in a series on climate change research at UH Hilo.
Graduate student and researcher Rose Hart holds an unmanned aerial vehicle used to survey coastal areas.
Climate change is affecting more than just plants and animals—it is changing coasts and sea levels. Researchers at the University of Hawai'i at Hilo are monitoring these changes and the impact on local communities by gathering data that will help officials make sound predictions about, and decisions for, the future.
Ryan Perroy
Rose Hart, a first-year graduate student in the Tropical Conservation Biology and Environmental Science (TCBES) program at UH Hilo, has teamed up with faculty member Ryan Perroy, an assistant professor of geography and environmental science at UH Hilo, to begin monitoring shorelines using an exciting and innovative technique.
The researchers are using small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to capture images of coastal areas across hundreds of acres. The images are used to create 3D data sets to observe past and present changes. A variety of coastal environments are being used for the study including sea cliffs (Honoli'i), low-lying and subsiding coastal lava fields (Kapoho) and calcareous beaches (Hapuna).

The project has a number of aspects and goals—one is to determine from a historical point of view how these coasts and regions have changed over time to present day. Another aspect is more short term, meaning that data collection occurs every couple of months to every few weeks to see how the coasts are currently changing.
The overall goal is to try to make accurate predictions on how the rise in sea level will affect the coast and what that entails for communities and the county in regard to planning. For example, setback regulations from the coastline may need to be adjusted. How the community will respond to the rising sea level is an important factor to consider especially in the long-term sense—things will be dramatically different in the next 50 to 100 years.
The researchers
Hart is from Los Angeles, CA, and began attending UH Hilo after high school for her undergraduate degree in 2012. She graduated last year with a bachelor of science in environmental science with a minor in marine science and a certificate in planning.
"I didn't think I would be doing this while I was getting my undergrad (degree)," she says. "It all just fell into place when I realized my senior year in Dr. Perroy's field methods class that I could use this application of UAVs that could support policies that regulate how we use the shoreline and it took off from there."
Hart is now part of the TCBES graduate program, where students tend to have a concentration in a specific area. Hart's current concentration is the study of shoreline changes and how the coast previously and presently adapts to factors such as sea level rise and coastal erosion—the hope is that monitoring theses current changes along with analyzing past conditions will help to predict future outcomes.

Hart hopes that information on how these different geomorphic types of beaches are changing in response to things like sea level rise and coastal erosion could be used to support shoreline policy at the County of Hawai'i Planning Office. Her goal is to provide useful information and scientific support for local policies which could be considered as a tool to help protect coastal communities.
Perroy is the faculty advisor on this project. In addition to teaching and research, he serves as the current director of the UH Hilo Spatial Data Analysis and Visualization Labs. He received his bachelor of arts in physics from the College of William and Mary and went on to earn his master of science and doctor of philosophy in physical geography from the University of California at Santa Barbara.
Perroy is a physical geographer with a background in geomorphology, hill slope erosion, and soil science along with remote sensing. His current focus on landscapes using 3D data sets and spatial data is why he was matched with the coastal erosion research project.

Research benefits local communities
Bethany Morrison, a planner at the Hawaiʻi County Planning Department says the project is the fruition of years' worth of collaborative effort between the planning department and UH Hilo.
"Those efforts included partnering in grant proposals and supporting internships with the Pacific Internship Programs for Exploring Science to better understand our unique shoreline conditions and vulnerable resources," she says. "In addition, Rose interned with our office in the summer of 2015 to research the existing shoreline setback policy and make recommendations for improvements."

Morrison explains that as sea-level increases and shorelines move further inland, the buffer between development and unique shoreline habitats will be reduced, and management options will be foreclosed.
"However, we do not have adequate knowledge of Hawai'i Island's shoreline to be able to assess and adapt to the vulnerabilities from sea level rise and related hazards," she explains. "The goals of this project will help us to address these challenges. More specifically, Hawai'i County will have a first phase of shoreline change rates and sea-level rise projections for three different types of shorelines."
She believes the project will produce data that can be integrated into the decision making framework and tools, such as the county's shoreline setback policy.
"It is both exciting and notable that Rose is using newer technology to look at historical changes that have not been previously calculated for Hawaii Island," she says. "In addition, I am very optimistic that this project can be replicated in other vulnerable coastal communities."
Perroy says his favorite part about the current joint student-faculty project is seeing the students become empowered.
"Seeing them start with an idea and carrying it out and then actually use problem-solving skills is how they become scientists," he explains. He says that being able to help them along and watching the evolution and growth in the student is awesome. He hopes Hart is gaining more than just the technical and analytical skills.
"Her being able to take what she's finding out through her work and then being able to translate that into useful and effective change in the community is what my true goal is for her," he says.
Hart says since starting at TCBES, she is learning a lot of new things like image processing and the use of various software like Pix4d and CloudCompare—these types of software allow the research project team to generate 3D models from the UAV acquired imagery.
"I'm developing skills that I never could foresee as being a part of my future," says Hart.
In addition to the technical skills, Hart says she is gaining a lot of leadership qualities along with learning how to take responsibility for the project. She says the most important thing she is learning is "setting realistic goals and thinking in terms of tangible outcomes."
Although a lot of the results are in their primitive stages and the project is not expected to conclude until March 2018, Hart has her eyes set on the horizon. After completing her graduate program, she is hoping to work for the state Coastal Zone Management program. The program focuses on how people used the shoreline, where the coastline is designated, and where people are permitted or prevented from developing along the coastline. Her ultimate goal is to be a shoreline analyst.
Research projects like these are all around UH Hilo campus and encourage students and faculty to work together to find solutions to local and global problems. The Pacific Island Climate Science Center funds this project and both Hart and Perroy hope to see more tangible results from their project that will help provide support for local conservation policies and methods.

Minto Sells 20 Acres in Westlake For New Publix-Anchored Shopping Center
CITY OF WESTLAKE, FL (July 16, 2021) — Minto Communities, the master developer of award-winning Westlake, has sold a 20-acre parcel to Publix for a new retail center and grocery store. The transaction closed July 16. Terms were not disclosed.
The Lakeland-based grocer received city approval to develop a 140,000-square-foot open-air plaza. Phase 1 of the development will include eight retail bays anchored by a 50,000-square-foot Publix grocery and liquor store. Publix was also approved to develop an additional 70,000 square feet of retail space on the property, which is expected to be built later in Phase 2.
Publix at Westlake Plaza will be located on the west side of Seminole-Pratt Whitney Road between Town Center Parkway and Persimmon Boulevard.
"We are pleased to bring the first grocery store and retail center to Westlake to serve our fast-growing population," said John Carter, Minto vice president. "You know you've arrived when Publix comes to town, and we couldn't be any happier. Soon, our residents will be able to enjoy the convenience of shopping for their essentials right around the corner from their homes."
This transaction marks the start of a "retail rush" in the 3,800-acre Westlake that is approved for 4,500 homes and over 2-million square-feet of non-residential development.
Adjacent to the new Publix is a 50-acre business park Minto created called Westlake Landings. Konover South is under contract to acquire 7 acres to develop a pod of quick-service restaurants and two multi-tenant, open-air shopping centers—one 7,000 square feet and the other 9,450 square feet. Collectively, the site will be known as The Shoppes of Westlake Landings. It will be adjacent to a 7-11 convenience store and gas station currently under construction within the business park.
Minto is also under contract with a local developer to buy 5.75 acres within Westlake Landings to build a 107,290-square-foot self-storage facility, and is talking with others to develop a flex office/warehouse space on 18 acres. An investment group is eyeing the final piece of land in Westlake Landings for an entertainment/sports concept.
"We created this mixed-use business park to proactively plan for our commercial development activities in Westlake," said Carter. "Westlake Landings allows us to be more intentional in our approach and curate the right types of businesses to service our residents."
Other non-residential development in the city includes a second 7-11 store and gas station that is under construction across the street from Westlake Landings, on the east side of Seminole Pratt Whitney Road. The Constitutional Tax Collector's Office for Palm Beach County is currently building a regional service center that is planned to open later this year and located near the Palm Beach County fire station that opened in January 2020. Two years ago, Wellington Regional Medical Center opened a freestanding emergency room and subsequently acquired 35 more acres from Minto to develop a future medical campus. In addition, Christ Fellowship Church is preparing to break ground on an 800-seat worship center located in the heart of Westlake and recently submitted their building permit application to mark the start of vertical construction activity.
Minto will soon open its fourth Westlake neighborhood, an exclusive luxury-home enclave of 76 homesites known as The Estates of Westlake. Prices will range between the $500s and $800s. The sales launch will coincide with completion of a model home now under construction. Also, this summer, construction will start on the second phase of the Westlake Adventure Park, which will include basketball courts, an adult lap pool and a multi-purpose building.
Westlake is located at 16610 Town Center Parkway North in the City of Westlake, on Seminole Pratt Whitney Road between Southern Blvd. and Northlake Blvd. For more information on the community, call 888-299-3628 or visit www.WestlakeFL.com.

Mz Kiss owometa crooner, most people say this is a female olamide and no doubt she is versatile. Newly signed to capital hill music owned by Clarence Peters. She recently dropped a single titled owo meta but now she collaborates with fast rising indigenous rap artist Falz on this one and it's titled stoopid. Enjoy!


I can't bring myself to delete 180 words, but I also don't want this sitting in a file staring at me like it needs attention, so here's 180 words of gen Grace and Frankie fic as sort of a pre- mmom (that is, Merry Month of Masturbation) exercise.
I just... have a lot of feelings about Grace and the research that would've been involved before they could develop the prototype for the Menage a Moi.
After successfully recording 5 podfics each for the 'Awesome Ladies Podfic Anthology IX' in February and the 'Out Of The Auditary 2019' fest in March I wanted to keep the ball rolling and signed up for podfic bingo.
Back to outlining! I made, I think, a lot of progress today. I had to leave off kind of in the middle of things, but I think with a few more days' work I will be able to see the shape of things more clearly.
And though I didn't think to mention it yesterday, besides meeting my NaNo goal I've also hit 75K year-to-date (76,063 to be exact) which puts me halfway to my year goal of 150K! This might sound like I'm ahead, but I set my goal and my pace with the conscious intention of leaving a few months' time for a lot of revising that wouldn't yield much new wordcount. I have some big project goals on the slate this year (including the fic I'm working on right now) and revision is going to be very necessary. So in reality I'm exactly where I should be.
And now, a snippet for WIP Wednesday!
[RvB] Which Freelancer Are You?
1) How do you solve your problems?
The scene containing this line from Nick is probably not going to stay in the Grace/Nick/Frankie fluff fic, so you can have it now.
Maybe one day it will be a Grace/Nick PWP of its very own, but I don't think it belongs here.

Plan your holiday in Gaithersburg and have fun
Gaithersburg, Maryland (population 58,000), is 50 miles west of Baltimore and 27 miles northwest of Washington, D.C. The city is named after the family that built a house in 1802 at the site of the Forest Oak tree, a landmark which lived about 300 years old before it was killed in a severe storm in 1997. Gaithersburg's National Institute of Standards and Technology complex attracted science-related firms, giving the city the nickname of "Science Capital of the United States."
Top Attractions within Gaithersburg

Five Things You Must Do While You Are in Gaithersburg
1. Gaithersburg Latitude Observatory. See an historic observatory. In 1899, the Gaithersburg Latitude Observatory and five others around the world were built to gather information for measuring the Earth's polar motion and determining its size, shape, and physical properties. The tiny, 13-square-foot, one-story building is now a historical landmark. The nearby Meridian Mark Pier azimuth marker was used to align the Zenith Telescope. Five Coast and Geodetic Survey monuments on the property are used to establish exact geographic longitude and latitude positions, elevation above sea level, the direction of the magnetic north field of force, and perform positional testing the Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver, which tracks orbital satellites.
2. National Institute of Standards and Technology. Tour the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The complex maintains standards for scientific research and houses the standard meter and kilogram to which all others are compared for accuracy.

Welcome to the Bauhaus: A Review and Discussion of Dr. Elizabeth Otto's Lecture
hUManities Blog, Snap Shots
A UMIH sponsored event, held at Mentoring Artists for Women's Art (MAWA) on February 28, 2020.
The Bauhaus. Treated like a religion in some design schools, its history is almost worshipped. Its name is whispered reverently in the halls of architecture schools as if saying it was like tasting the sacrament. The Bauhaus. Its clean lines, revolutionary artists, architects, thinkers—sorry, I should say its men. In the cultural imagination, in its history as it is taught, the Bauhaus necessarily is synonymous with its paternalistic lineage.
When I first encountered Bauhaus, it was alongside the death of Bela Lugosi, strange bat-like silhouettes on walls, men like calligraphic lines—skinny, angular and dressed in all black. When my goth-rock sensibilities were introduced to its namesake, I'm sorry to say it was quite the let-down. Lectured by a white male professor, we were told all about Gropius, Moholy-Nagy, Kandinsky, Klee. Their names melted together inside my brain, it felt like an endless train of masculine genius along a long line of other male geniuses, imposing upon history. But a quotation stuck out in the noise; taken from shocked bystanders, the Bauhäusler were described as women with short hair wearing trousers, the men wore their hair long. This line stayed with me for years.
Where were the women? Certainly not in my lecture. Blink and you'd miss it: Marianna Brandt, the one woman who we spent mere moments on, swallowed up by the Iron Curtain and similarly swept under the academic rug. Begrudgingly admitted into the rank and file of history, if only for her economic success within the Bauhaus. The rest rendered like Ariadne—an army of faceless and nameless weavers, stripped of personhood or individuality.
Enter: Dr. Elizabeth Otto
Her lecture entitled "Gender, Sexuality, & the Bauhaus" was vibrant, engaging, and most of all was a feminist recovery of a long-thought and long-taught masculinist institution. Suddenly we get faces, we hear names. Most damning of all, we see the numbers of women throughout the Bauhaus and no, they certainly were not all weavers. Forty-some odd women even went through the architecture stream.
My favourite of the night, Florence Henri.
Suspected to have taken a female lover, but no speculation is needed to see the talent of her photography. The aesthetic of longing in her art, which Dr. Otto views as a queer coding, is a beautiful yearning that pulls at its viewers. Multiple pictures show her gazing at herself in mirrors, that insoluble question for queer women—wanting her or wanting to be her.
This is the difficult reality of much of Dr. Otto's work, looking for hints, gestures, digging up the marginalized of history, trying to find these traces of female and queer life; it's like reaching out to try to touch a ghost. Henri more than likely learned her craft from László Moholy-Nagy's faceless wife, Lucia Moholy: the woman behind the camera and the woman behind the man. Almost like a feral network, or a queer lineage of craft passed down on the fringes of this masculine school. Henri eventually left the Bauhaus, but still continued on with her practice in Paris.

Limbaugh Lost and Other Notes on the Contraception Controversy
By Joe Klein @JoeKleinTIMEMarch 03, 2012
Back in the 1950s, Senator Joe McCarthy ran roughshod over the political landscape, accusing people hither and yon of being communists, even taking on the U.S. Army in a moment of personal pique — and, finally, receiving a classic scolding at the hands of a Boston Brahman, the lawyer Joseph Welch, "Have you no decency at long last, sir?" These days we have Rush Limbaugh, who runs roughshod over the Republican Party, his antics untrammeled by GOP elected officials who should know better but quake at the power of his microphone. Until yesterday.
For the first time, members of the Republican hierarchy separated themselves from Limbaugh over his rancid remarks about Sandra Fluke, an activist who wants to make contraception a mandatory part of health-insurance plans. To be sure, the scolding wasn't exactly Welchian; arguably it wasn't even a scolding — but it was something less than the full-throated obeisance that Limbaugh is used to. According to the New York Times:
On Friday, the House speaker, John A. Boehner, called the Limbaugh comments "inappropriate." Rick Santorum, the former senator whose run for the Republican presidential nomination has thrust social conservatism into the spotlight, told CNN that Mr. Limbaugh was "being absurd."
But, he added, "an entertainer can be absurd."
Which is, of course, absurd. Limbaugh is something more, and less, than an entertainer. He is a demagogue. His remarks were not meant to entertain — they were meant to incite and demean. I should add that Mitt Romney said that Limbaugh's were not the words he would have used, which, in classic supine Romney fashion, doesn't disassociate himself from the larger position that Limbaugh took.
Our supple democracy often throws up suppurating pustules like Limbaugh; sooner or later a decent society builds antibodies to reject them. Glenn Beck — you remember him — managed to complete this cycle in about two years. Today's tiny Republican rebellion may be the first sign that Limbaugh is losing his hold on the GOP.
On a related topic: while the Blunt bill was ridiculously written, and might have included anything, I still have reservations about government requiring coverage of contraception by employers. There are practical and theoretical arguments for this. The practical argument is, quite simply, that the Catholic Church operates many fine hospitals, schools, universities and other social facilities; I do believe that it should have the right to expect that its employees respect its doctrines (obviously, as with every right, this one exists within reasonable limitations). That goes for several practices that I find foolish and anachronistic — namely, the church's opposition to contraception and also to gay adoption. But when you compare the good done by Catholic social services with the harm done by the church's anachronistic prudery, the good overwhelms the harm. It is a practical good — and also, I believe, a constitutional right — that these services, especially those that service the poor, be allowed to flourish, and even receive government support, within the context of the church's doctrines (again, within reason). Those Republicans who argue this case in narrow constitutional terms have a point: the First Amendment's establishment clause was conceived to keep government out of religion as surely as it was intended to prevent a state religion from controlling the government.
As for the theoretical point: this argument proves the absurdity of our employer-provided health-insurance system. For one thing, we don't require employers to provide health insurance — and yet, in this instance, the Obama Administration is mandating the coverage of contraception on companies that are doing the right thing by providing health insurance in the first place.
In an ideal system, employers wouldn't have this responsibility. It is absurd, in the fierce competition of a global economy, that U.S. employers continue to have this burden. An ideal system would include an individual mandate but would be funded by a single payer — as Senators Ron Wyden and Bob Bennett proposed — through a progressive system of tax credits. Individuals would then have the choice of buying plans that included various features or not — contraception, dental coverage, eyeglasses, you name it. Again, these plans would have to include certain minimum requirements, like catastrophic coverage, annual physicals and hospital care. But, in the end, it should be up to individuals to decide the shape and size of their health care coverage — in a democracy we have to assume that the vast majority will act in their enlightened self-interest. The role of government is to set minimum requirements and forbid nothing — certainly not contraception, morning-after pills or early-term abortions.
Of course, all these arguments are peripheral: opposition to contraception, in any form, is a huge political loser for the Republican Party. It's amazing that we're even talking about this at a moment of such economic uncertainty.

Do No Harm tells the incredible and often outrageous story of two men in a small, southern town who endured relentless attacks in order to draw national attention to the plight of the medically uninsured and bring about reform. "I couldn't hire enough staff to know where all of the skeletons are buried. We need whistleblowers," says Sen. Charles Grassley of Dr. John Bagnato and Charles Rehberg, who exposed significant unethical practices towards uninsured patients at Phoebe Putney Hospital, a non-profit hospital in Georgia. They uncovered millions of dollars in offshore bank accounts and lucrative for-profit businesses under the control of the non-profit hospital. Board members held exclusive contracts with the hospital and politicians received timely contributions. And shockingly – it was all legal. Do No Harm follows the stories of these unlikely activists who sacrificed much in order to expose and rectify injustices in the non-profit hospital system.

This is great brightening sheet mask that finally works!
The packaging is cute (if a little gimmicky) and the mask provided a brightening effect for a day as well as being fairly hydrating. I was sad though because the sheet itself was just plain white.
I personally didnt really liked the packaging (loved the graphic! But poping the ampoule into the mask was a bit hard...). But it works great! Its contains A LOT of essence inside and i could keep rehydrating the mask. After, i could feel my faced loved the moisture, and it did seem a bit lighter! Loved it, and willing to buy more!

Is a Justin Bieber mugshot on the way? If the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department has its way, the answer is yes.
The department will recommend that Bieber be charged with criminal battery for allegedly spitting on his neighbor last week, TMZ reports. The recommendation is due to the fact that the department believes that the pop singer has shown "disregard for the law" as of late, a source tells TMZ.
In recent months, Bieber has been cited for reckless driving, allegedly attacked a paparazzi photographer, and was photographed smoking what appears to be marijuana. Last week, his pet capuchin monkey was detained in Germany for not having the proper paperwork.
Do you think Bieber should be charged?

Can Bankruptcy Stop My Car From Being Repossessed?
You are here: Home / Chapter 7 Bankruptcy / Can Bankruptcy Stop My Car From Being Repossessed?
One of the great things that chapter 13 bankruptcy can accomplish is the return of a vehicle that was repossessed. Your vehicle remains your property until such time that it is sold at auction. Thus, until such time that vehicle is actually sold, you still own it and you have the ability to propose a repayment plan. Chapter 13 bankruptcy provides for that very plan.
Under chapter 13 law, you can repay a vehicle debt over a 60 month period of time. During this 60 month period of time, you have to make regular, consistent payments to a chapter 13 trustee. The chapter 13 trustee will divide out a certain portion per month to go towards your creditors including your auto finance company. Under the Thompson case, provided your vehicle has not already been sold at auction, the lender must return the vehicle and cannot withhold that vehicle by demanding repossession fees and storage fees. The case basically went on to say that you own that vehicle until such time that it is sold. Therefore, if you can agree to repay and adequately protect the lender, then the lender must voluntarily return the vehicle to you.
I have handled numerous cases where lenders simply do not want to cooperate with the law. I have had to file motions for sanctions in an effort to get the vehicle returned to my client. Provided the client has not had more than one case dismissed within the last year, then there will be an automatic stay for at least 30 days which can then be extended. Provided there is a stay and provided there is adequate protection, the lender must return the vehicle.
This is a great way to save an item of property from losing it to an auction. What a great way to maintain your family vehicle, the vehicle you need for work, the vehicle you need for recreation, and make arrangements to pay for it. If you are someone who is struggling financially, and possibly not able to make your regularly scheduled auto payment, chapter 13 might be just the answer you're looking for. Under chapter 13 law, you can often paid less than what is fully owed on the vehicle and you can often reduce the interest rate being paid back to the finance company.
For more information on how chapter 13 can help you save a vehicle repossession or recover a vehicle that has already been repossessed, call my office at 847-520-8100. The advice you get can change your financial life.

Be As You Are: The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi
by Sri Ramana Maharshi (Author), David Godman (Compiler)
"Our own Self-realization is the greatest service we can render the world"
The simple but powerful teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi, one of India's most revered spiritual masters, continue to enlighten and enrich over sixty years after his death.
Be As You Are is the definitive compendium of his knowledge, edited by the former librarian from Sri Maharshi's ashram, which can be found flourishing at the foot of the holy mountain of Arunchala. The book collects conversations with the many seekers who came to him for guidance, answering the questions sought on the road enlightenment.
Through this book, we can discover the essence of Sri Ramana's teaching: that self-realization is the vital quest we must all pursue, before we can attempt to understand the world.

The Teachings of Ramana Maharshi in His Own Words
by Arthur Osborne
In this Book, Arthur Osborne has succeeded in presenting in a brief compass the essential teachings of the Maharshi, through a process of selection from his dialogues and written works.The matter has been classified under distinct subjects.
This Book fulfills the need for a short, reliable compendium of Sri Bhagawan's instructions–which in earlier years were available mostly in the form of jottings.The notes of the author are of great value. Ever since it was published in the year 1996 the book's demand is so great that it has been re-printed eleven times within four years!

I Am That
by Nisargadatta Maharaj (Author), Translated by Maurice Frydman (Author), Sudhakar S. Dikshit (Editor)
This collection of the timeless teachings of one of the greatest sages of India, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, is a testament to the uniqueness of the seer's life and work and is regarded by many as a modern spiritual classic. I Am That (first published in 1973) continues to draw new audiences and to enlighten seekers anxious for self-realization. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj was a teacher who did not propound any ideology or religion, but gently unwrapped the mystery of the self.
His message was simple, direct, and sublime. I Am That preserves his dialogs with the followers who came from around the world seeking guidance in destroying false identities. The sage's sole concern was with the human suffering and the ending of suffering. It was his mission to guide the individual to an understanding of his true nature and the timelessness of being. He taught that the mind must recognize and penetrate its own state of being–not "being this or that, here or there, then or now," but just timeless being.

Freedom from the Known
by Jiddu Krishnamurti (Author), Mary Lutyens (Editor)
Freedom From The Known is a book that provides much needed insight into the monotonous quality our lives have adapted into. The book does an in-depth exploration of the idea that life as we know it is a result of the pressure we are under to maintain and achieve what is expected of us by the society.
In Freedom From The Known, readers are provided with the opportunity to reflect on all of the achievements of their lives and analyze how much of it was what they truly wanted to do as opposed to what was expected of them. The author opines that people disillusion themselves into believing that societal expectations are norms that define the construct of their daily lives will bring them happiness. The book goes on to suggest that people have forgotten the true value and meaning of happiness.
The book talks about the importance of freeing ourselves from societal norms, values and expectations. It is suggested that only by doing so can we focus on the right way to find peace and happiness in our lives.

The Awakening of Intelligence
by Jiddu Krishnamurti
This comprehensive record of Krishnamurti's teachings is an excellent, wide-ranging introduction to the great philosopher's thought. With among others, Jacob Needleman, Alain Naude, and Swami Venkatasananda, Krishnamurti examines such issues as the role of the teacher and tradition; the need for awareness of 'cosmic consciousness; the problem of good and evil; and traditional Vedanta methods of help for different levels of seekers.

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
by Eckhart Tolle
Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light.
In the first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, "the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death."

Path of Meditation: A Step by Step Guide to Meditation
by Osho
"The culture that will arise in the future, if it is truly to be for the evolution of mankind, will be a balance of science and religion. This culture will be a synthesis of religion and science. It will not be only religious or only scientific: it will be either scientifically religious or religiously scientific." Osho The talks in this book are transcriptions of a meditation program led by Osho in the beautiful hills of Mahabaleshwar.
It is a step by step account of how to prepare the body, mind, and emotions to enhance your meditation. Osho guides the participants and the reader alike in the use of powerful meditation techniques and suggests many useful applications for supporting meditation in your daily life. He also describes the different stages that happen on the path of meditation. This book is a must-read for both the new and the experienced meditator.

Meditation: The First and Last Freedom
In this essential meditation handbook for the 21st century, Osho turns the traditional notion of meditation practice on its head. Meditation: The First and Last Freedom shows that meditation is not a spiritual discipline separate from everyday life in the real world. In essence, it is simply the art of being aware of what is going on inside and around us. As we acquire the knack, meditation can be our companion wherever we are-at work, at play, at rest.
Meditation contains practical, step-by-step guides to a wide variety of meditation techniques selected by and/or created by Osho, including the unique OSHO Active Meditations which deal with the special tensions of contemporary life. Recognizing that it's almost impossible for most people these days just to stop and sit silently, these meditations – including the Osho Dynamic Meditation and Osho Kundalini Meditation – begin with one or more stages of vigorous physical activity. This brings our physical and mental energies to a peak, so that the following silence is easy — leaving us alert, refreshed, and newly energized.

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in traditions simply because they have been handed down for many generations. ...
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
But when, after observation and analysis, you find anything that agrees with reason, and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."
– Buddha, Kalama Sutta
