A Harrowing Story of Survival
Why I Slept with My Therapist, How One Gay Man Tried to Go Straight
Just how far will a gay man go to be straight? For Brian Anthony Kraemer, that journey included thirteen years of celibacy, daily prayer, extensive reading, participation in an ex-gay ministry, and two exorcisms. He still hadn't reached his goal when he met a man he believed to be the therapist of his dreams—a married, Christian therapist with an innovative method of healing.
Through what he called "spiritual adoption," the therapist began a reparenting experiment in which Brian's therapy included spending time with his therapist in his home and meeting his wife and biological children, as well as other "spiritually adopted" clients. Brian and his therapist shared a bed, showered together, and spent extensive amounts of time holding, cuddling, and caressing.
In his memoir, Why I Slept with My Therapist, How One Gay Man Tried to Go Straight, Brian Anthony Kraemer shares the details of his developing relationship with a Christian male therapist in his attempt to change from homosexual to heterosexual. Though the goal was to go straight, this relationship ultimately led to Brian's acceptance of himself as a gay man—and the therapist's loss of his license.
Just before Christmas of 1997, I flew from Southern California, where I worked in a Christian mission agency, to visit my parents five hundred miles north. I originally planned to stay for two weeks, from December 20 through January 3, but after a few days, I knew I could not stay that long. I felt anxious, nervous, and afraid. I had to get back to my own home, my gym, and my routine. I was addicted to my daily trips to swim at a local university pool, where I spent long periods of time in the men's locker room showering, hoping to see as many naked men as possible.
I watched men come and go in this group shower setting and tried to avoid being too obvious in my sexual interests. My penis, however, often revealed my thoughts, and I had to direct my erection toward the shower wall and pretend nothing unusual was happening. Most men ignored it. Some engaged in friendly conversation without mentioning it. Others revealed interest with eye contact or by moving closer, to a shower head near mine. Still others gave a scowl of disapproval and left. With my eyes, I soaked in these masculine bodies in an eff ort to satiate my longing for any kind of connection with them. … I had not had sex with a man since my conversion to Christianity thirteen years before, in May 1984, at age twenty. I wasn't about to break my record of celibacy.
Brian Anthony Kraemer holds bachelor's degrees in psychology, health science, and social science; he is currently working on a master's degree in psychology. He has taught in elementary schools and served as the president of Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) in Pasadena and Chico, California. He currently lives in Chico, California, where he performs as a musician and engages in public speaking opportunities, mostly on gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues.

Retired Philadelphia cardinal testifies in rape, endangerment case
A retired Roman Catholic cardinal who suffers from cancer and dementia testified behind closed doors for about three hours Monday as lawyers prepare for a groundbreaking priest abuse trial.
Prosecutors deposed 88-year-old former cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua in case he cannot appear for the March trial of three priests, an ex-teacher and a church administrator. The three priests and the former teacher are charged with raping boys. The administrator is the first Roman Catholic church official charged in the U.S. for his administrative actions.
Bevilacqua's deposition was set to resume Tuesday at the cardinal's residence at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, just outside Philadelphia.
Church lawyers fought to block Bevilacqua's testimony. However, Common Pleas Judge M. Teresa Sarmina deemed him competent Monday after reviewing his medical records and meeting with him Monday morning, her office said.
The church administrator, Monsignor William Lynn, Bevilacqua's longtime secretary for clergy, is charged with felony child endangerment and conspiracy. He's accused of transferring predator priests without warning new parishes.
Defense lawyers argue that Lynn was following orders from Bevilacqua, who led the archdiocese from 1988 to 2003. Lynn, 60, served as secretary for clergy from 1992 to 2004.
More than a dozen prosecutors, defense lawyers, defendants and court staff were on hand for Bevilacqua's deposition. Given his health problems, it's unclear how much his testimony helped city prosecutors who had sought it. A gag order prevents the parties from publicly discussing the case.
Less than a decade ago, they had grilled Bevilacqua in his 10 appearances before the grand jury investigating credible complaints filed against 63 priests in the Philadelphia area.
Bevilacqua's testimony is seen as a key element of the trial, which is set for March 26 and expected to take several months.
Another key pretrial issue is the scope of evidence that will be allowed. Prosecutors want to include Lynn's handling of a broad swath of child abuse complaints against priests, to try to show a pattern of wrongdoing. Lynn's lawyers want to limit the evidence to the three priests on trial with him.
They are the Rev. Charles Engelhardt, 64, the Rev. James Brennan, 48, and former priest Edward Avery, 69, along with former teacher Bernard Shero, 48. All of them have denied the charges.
Engelhardt, Avery and Shero are accused of raping the same child, starting when he was a 10-year-old altar boy in northeast Philadelphia, according to the February grand jury report. Brennan is charged with raping a 14-year-old boy from a suburban parish.
Church Reform Group Identifies Serious Flaw in Bishops' Clerical Abuse Report
A serious flaw exists in the John Jay College report on the causes and context of the Catholic Church's worldwide sexual abuse scandal, according to the worldwide Church reform group Voice of the Faithful. The report was made public earlier this year, and the VOTF board of trustees recently reached this conclusion after an internal committee studied the report for several months. The committee's conclusions were released in October.
VOTF trustee Bill Casey of Alexandria, Va., said, "Although John Jay's causes and context research credibly documents a 60-year pattern of clergy sexual abuse of minors and clerical cover-up, the report's serious flaw is failing to name and ascribe how much a clerical culture substantially contributed to that abuse by hiding, enabling and minimizing it."
In a summary of their John Jay study review called "The John Jay Report: Right Context, Wrong Conclusions," VOTF trustees challenged as a fundamental influence on sexual abuse of children by clergy the John Jay Report's emphasis on the link between the peak period of abuses (about 1965-1985) and the deviant behavior in society during the 1960s and 1970s: the "blame Woodstock" approach.
"VOTF believes the John Jay report's overemphasis on this connection distracts from the Catholic Church hierarchy's persistent denial and enabling of clergy sexual abuse during the entire 60-year period," said Dan Bartley, VOTF president. He added that such enabling has been seen most recently in Philadelphia, Kansas City and Houston, where bishops failed to report suspected crimes in a timely and complete way even when mandated to do so.
"We concluded from our review," said VOTF trustee Mark Mulllaney of Wayland, Mass., "that the John Jay Report's findings clearly show how Catholic Church hierarchy denied or minimized evidence of clergy sexual abuse of minors and mismanaged the Church's response to the evidence. Their actions resulted in the harmful treatment of victims, their families and the faith communities for which they had pastoral responsibility. That finding from the report deserved more emphasis."
According to Bartley, VOTF review faulted the John Jay Report most especially for describing but not naming clericalism as a major contributor to the abuse. "We see clericalism," he said, "as the attitude on the part of the clergy that they are different than, separate from and above others and therefore exempt from rules and consequences that apply to everyone else in society."
VOTF trustees concluded their John Jay Report review by offering recommendations they said the Catholic Church should adopt to respond to clergy sexual abuse in a believable way for victims and their families, innocent clergy and lay Catholics whose trust in the hierarchy has been deeply damaged.
fully independent and comprehensive audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards;
fully independent diocesan review boards and victim assistance offices;
specific disciplinary action for bishops who oppose or violate the provisions of their Charter to Protect Children and Young People;
official support for reform of statutes of limitation for sexual abuse;
listening sessions nationwide to hear lay people's, as opposed to clergy, reactions to the sexual abuse scandal and expectations for its full resolution; and
access by independent investigators to clergy personnel records throughout the U.S., similar to German bishops' voluntary action in July 2011.
Handel Disaster
This is the message I grew up with
Pretty scary, huh? So glad things have changed.


Interested in evolving your relationships, elevating your career, improving your physical well-being, generating more abundance…or, all of the above? Although I've never been a believer in short-cuts, there is a method that works amazingly well and is quite simple: Create an Invisible Inner Council. WHAAAT?
There was a time when my beloved husband was experiencing some professional frustration. It was something that reared its head every so often, a cycle that seemed to ensue without warning. He is self-employed and there were period of times when business would flow in, then without warning, dry up, nada, nothing. This happened so often that we began to explore every possible issue; self-sabotaging patterns, not feeling deserving of abundance, the economy, fear of success, fear of failure and so forth.
Finally, after years of a masculine approach to business—trying to make things happen—he decided to try an entirely different approach. At the time, I was involved in a feminine power program that was radically different from the old patriarchal approach to work life. Feminine power isn't about a "Get Going!" rah-rah programming (which drowns out our intuition), but emanates from tuning into our inner self and trusting our intuition, ideas and inspirational images to lead us. So my husband began listening deeply to his inner self and being receptive to what he heard.
And the key to connecting with your yearning is to know that they don't reside in the head, but in the body. Somatically, you can feel yearning in your body and as you connect with it, you call it forth into your life.
After meditating on his intention, level of commitment and desires, my husband invited four souls to be on his council. They were: Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett, Mahatma Gandhi and Abraham Lincoln. At each gathering, he would share his intention, commitment and desires then ask each council member to share some feedback. He wrote down what he heard and implemented it that day. When he was done, he expressed gratitude for their ideas, inspiration and support.
The results were—and still are—mind blowing.
Everything in his inner world began to organize around his outer world. Opportunities began arising and they kept rolling in. In fact, after his first life-changing abundant six week period, my husband met with his council.
Lincoln remained silent but nodded his head in approval.
When my husband first shared this flow of feedback, he had tears of profound gratitude in his eyes. "They feel as real to me in my meditations as you are in front of me right now," he expressed.
The next time you are ready to create something from your highest intention, strongest commitment and deepest desire, summon your own Invisible Inner Council. Invite a few souls that are you would love to have as your greatest mentors. It doesn't matter if they are alive or deceased. These invisible forces will be magnetized by your own positive and loving thoughts. Share your ideas, ask them for theirs, implement them as often as possible, then watch your inner and outer worlds organize and align successfully with each other.
And just as importantly, before moving ahead to the next task and goal, take some time to appreciate all of the significant success that you've created with your Invisible Inner Council.

It is essential to pursue realization of your true Self with more faith and intensity in these exploding times than ever before.
Radical Regeneration:
From the foreword by Paul Levy
We are truly living in apocalyptic times. Something that it is most important for us to know—about ourselves and our place in the world—is being revealed to us in this process. Psychologically speaking, "the apocalypse" means the momentous, world-shattering event of the coming of the (Higher) Self into conscious realization.
Consider this: what is happening on the world stage is the very archetypal event into which we have all been born so as to consciously midwife this process into manifestation by playing our necessary and supporting roles - whatever that might be for each one of us.
We are being invited—make that demanded—by the universe itself to consciously participate in our own evolution – or else!
We are operating in concert with the divine, co-creating the apocalypse together. If we wind up destroying ourselves, it will be human hands that push the button, so to speak. If the love of God will replace the old order with a new age, it will be human creativity channeled through the human heart that will fashion it.
We should be truly grateful to both Harvey and Baker for their bodhisattvic work in writing this book. In finding their authentic voice and genuinely trying to be of whatever possible help they can be in a world gone mad that desperately needs all the help it can get, they are way-showers, modeling for us what it looks like to step out of our comfort zone and find the courage to speak what is true based on our experience. However things turn out, one thing is for sure – the crisis of our times is literally insisting that each one of us connects with our true inner authority, our own inner voice, our authentic self and step into who we are, as much as we are able.
My heartfelt prayer is that Radical Regeneration becomes as widely read—all over the planet—as it so richly deserves to be.

Immunology. 2013 May;139(1):1-10. doi: 10.1111/imm.12076.
SMAD regulatory networks construct a balanced immune system.
Department of Pathology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA 01655, USA.
A balanced immune response requires combating infectious assaults while striving to maintain quiescence towards the self. One of the central players in this process is the pleiotropic cytokine transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), whose deficiency results in spontaneous systemic autoimmunity in mice. The dominant function of TGF-β is to regulate the peripheral immune homeostasis, particularly in the microbe-rich and antigen-rich environment of the gut. To maintain intestinal integrity, the epithelial cells, myeloid cells and lymphocytes that inhabit the gut secrete TGF-β, which acts in both paracrine and autocrine fashions to activate its signal transducers, the SMAD transcription factors. The SMAD pathway regulates the production of IgA by B cells, maintains the protective mucosal barrier and promotes the balanced differentiation of CD4(+) T cells into inflammatory T helper type 17 cells and suppressive FOXP3(+) T regulatory cells. While encounters with pathogenic microbes activate SMAD proteins to evoke a protective inflammatory immune response, SMAD activation and synergism with immunoregulatory factors such as the vitamin A metabolite retinoic acid enforce immunosuppression toward commensal microbes and innocuous food antigens. Such complementary context-dependent functions of TGF-β are achieved by the co-operation of SMAD proteins with distinct dominant transcription activators and accessory chromatin modifiers. This review highlights recent advances in unravelling the molecular basis for the multi-faceted functions of TGF-β in the gut that are dictacted by fluid orchestrations of SMADs and their myriad partners.
Context dependent mechanisms of action of transfomring growth factor-β (TGF-β) in mediating cell fate specification. 1. Higher concentrations of TGF-β favours inducible regulatory T (iTreg) cell differentiation while at lower concentrations, TGF-β along with interleukin-6 (IL-6) induces T helper type 17 (Th17) cell generation. 2. Differential activation of SMAD2 versus SMAD3 regulates effector T-cell differentiation. Downstream of TGF-βR triggering, R-SMADs and co-SMAD are activated and each may exert unequal control over discrete clusters of TGF-β-modulated genes. For instance, SMAD2/3/4 are all important for iTreg cell differentiation. However, for Th17 cell generation, SMAD2 is necessary while SMAD3/4 are dispensable. 3. Co-operative actions of SMADs at gene loci with context-specific (cell type or state) transcription factors (TFs) can account for variable sets of genes controlled by TGF-β. For example, during iTreg cell differentiation, SMAD3 binds to SMAD binding elements in the Foxp3 gene enhancer in concert with the T-cell activation induced TF NFAT, which binds at the promoter region of Foxp3, to induce the co-regulated target gene. In pro-B cells, SMAD3 co-occupies the genome with PU.1 to regulate the transcription of B-cell-specific genes such as Vpreb2.

Profile: Elizabeth Trask, '12, Election Coordinator, Town Clerk's Office, Town of Saugus MA
To run fifty marathons in fifty states: that is the goal of MSLAW alumna Elizabeth Trask, and she is well on her way to reaching that goal. So far, she has finished 32 marathons and blogs about her experiences at 50forbilly.blogspot.com.
"I lost my father suddenly in 2006, and I ran my first marathon at the Mount Desert Island Marathon in Maine in 2008. Shortly thereafter, I decided that I wanted to run one full marathon in each state in memory of my dad and to benefit the Center for Grieving Children in Portland, Maine," Trask explained. "I ran several marathons across the country while a student at MSLAW. I was very grateful for the support of MSLAW professors and staff.
After law school, Trask began working as a town election coordinator. "As Election Coordinator for the Town of Saugus, I am constantly analyzing and applying Massachusetts election laws and municipal laws," Trask said, noting that her law school education at MSLAW helped prepare her for the tasks of interpreting and analyzing the law and making quick judgments. "I am always excited to see citizens eager to vote. Several elderly voters take voting very seriously and never miss an election. I enjoy working with the permanently disabled voters to ensure that they receive absentee ballots. It is also very exciting when young voters want to become involved in the democratic process."
Trask recently assisted the town with a unique special election, for which she consulted with the Secretary of State Elections Division on several legal issues pertaining to the election. "It has been a great learning experience," Trask said. She noted that during election times, she often works long hours and on election days, she usually works from 5 AM to 11 PM. "The Saugus Town Clerk's Office is a very busy place. My job position entails multi-tasking and time management." Trask said she enjoys helping citizens with issues and finding a resolution.
"I enjoyed MSL's practical approach to teaching the law. In particular, it was extremely valuable to take classes with practicing attorneys and judges," Trask said, adding "[w]e would all wait with anticipation to see Judge Cornetta's tie of the day. Several professors at MSLAW practiced an open door office policy, and were readily available for questions, which was very helpful."
Volunteer work has always been an important part of Trask's life. After graduating from MSLAW in 2012, Trask volunteered at Statewide Legal Services of Connecticut; Merrimack Valley Legal Services in Lowell, MA; and the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center. During law school, she interned at the Lawrence District Court Criminal Clerk's Office in Lawrence, MA, and the Essex County District Attorney's Office in Lynn, MA. After law school, she has continued to volunteer at the Children's Law Center in Lynn, MA. "During law school, it is important to get involved in the community with internships and volunteering," Trask noted. "The connections that you make during these experiences will help you throughout law school and beyond."

Q: How to use corrupted spells? Every corrupted area yields a corrupted spell. But I can't use them. Why? Should I de-corrupted them? How so?
It doesn't make any sense.

A: Corrupted gems have to be "charged", to charge a gem, keep killing monsters with it equipped (not in your secondary weapon slot though).
They work like potions, in that you can use them after killing enough monsters to recharge them.

A: Vaal Skill Gem

Vaal Skills may be used only when enough souls have been collected
  from slain enemies. Collected souls are saved to the zone instance
  they were gathered in. Changing zones or resetting the instance will
  start a new soul counter, but returning to a prior instance will
  "remember" the souls you left with. Collected souls are lost if the
  Vaal Skill Gem is removed from its socket.

I tested it all, everything is accurate. I never saw anything about putting the vaal gem in main weapon or something. You can put it anywhere you want.
(in your gear I mean, you pervert)

A: Lemme tell you about Corrupted gems:
A corrupted gem is a much more powerful version of a regular gem, but can only be activated once it is filled up with "souls" (i.e. you must kill enough mobs to be able to use it once, after which you have to refill it again. Consider it a "pacing mechanic" to balance the fact of how awesome it is).
The effect that says "Corrupted" can be found on weapons and gems alike, or added through the use of a Corrupted Orb. As a general rule, an item that is "corrupted" can NOT be crafted on. Hence, it is the final stage of crafting. Corrupting an item will give it an additional effect from a list of effects unique to Corrupted items. In the case with gems, corrupting one will either yield a corrupted gem (like a fireball with slightly more AOE, and the "Corrupted" effect which prevents crafting with GCP), or a Vaal gem (which is the powerful version of a gem that needs souls to use)

After the positive start to the season with a draw in Juventus Women's debut in the Women's Champions League, Sunday will see a return to domestic action, as Juventus Women will take on Chievo Valpolicella at Vinovo (12.30 CEST).
"Something is changing in terms of difference in ability between the top and the bottom teams in the standings and the gap has narrowed. It will be a very competitive championship and there will be many teams that will be competing to try and win the Scudetto."
"There is not only one team that can make things difficult for us, and it would be unfair to say that it's only between Juventus and Fiorentina as some are saying, because there are other teams that are well equipped and that will fight until the end to finish at the top."


I am excited to share that John Grisham has written a book about focused ultrasound called The Tumor – a fictional account portraying the potential of focused ultrasound to impact all of our futures.
John has been a board member and steadfast supporter of our Foundation for years. He has written the book to ignite widespread interest and raise funds to support our work. The focused ultrasound community is fortunate to have such a compelling advocate helping to spread the word.
The Tumor will be promoted to the general public. It is available now to download from our website. Free hard copies can be obtained through the site.
I hope you will read the book and share it with your friends and colleagues.
Over the seven years I've been involved with focused ultrasound, I have become convinced of the potential of this amazing technology to change the lives of countless people.
I have also learned how slow and difficult it is for a new technology like focused ultrasound to move from laboratory research to patients in need.
The Foundation was created to shorten this time. They fund research, foster collaboration and strive to increase awareness – a fundamental step to widespread availability. This is a story that needs to be told.
So I did what I know best - I wrote a story. While it's a fictional account, the potential of focused ultrasound is very much real today.
We encourage you to help spread the word about The Tumor via social media. Tell your family and friends about this revolutionary technology and inspiring book.
Jump over to John Grisham's Facebook page to share his post! The Foundation is also joining the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.
On November 13, Neal Kassell presented the potential of focused ultrasound to improve the lives of people with many serious medical disorders. He discussed how the evolution of a new therapy like focused ultrasound often takes decades because of myriad technical, regulatory and awareness barriers.
John Grisham related why he became involved in the Foundation and his role as a storyteller in helping to spread the word. He introduced his new short book, The Tumor.
Kimberly ran on stage to share her experience as one of the first participants in a clinical trial using focused ultrasound to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's. She spoke of renewed hope and thanked the pioneers helping to make new breakthroughs possible. The awe-inspired audience of more than 1,000 rose to their feet with a thunderous standing ovation.


eHealth (also written e-health) is a relatively recent term for health care practice supported by electronic processes and communication.
Usage of the term varies; some argue that it is interchangeable with health informatics, with a broad definition covering electronic/digital processes in health, while others use it in the narrower sense of health care practice using the Internet.
It can also include health applications and links on mobile phones, referred to as mHealth or m-health.

E3 Spark Plugs >> Snowmobile Racing Resumes at NHSA Grass Drags
Snowmobile Racing Resumes at NHSA Grass Drags
October... the time for leaves to change, kids to collect candy and snowmobile racing to resume. "Wait, what? There's no snow on the ground yet" you're asking. In New Hampshire, that isn't important as the New Hampshire Snowmobile Association hosts their annual "Race Into Winter," more affectionately known as "The Grass Drags." This three-day power sports event is held every Columbus day weekend and is considered the start of New England's snowmobile season. More than 40,000 racing fans turn out each year to witness the high-speed action of grass drag racers.
The action is simply incredible as these snow sleds reach speeds topping 115 mph. It's a great chance for fans to get a sneak peek of what to expect from the winter racing events just a few weeks away. However, the grass isn't the only place to catch the action. The event also features water cross racing, that's right, snowmobiles racing on water. If you haven't seen this before it is truly an amazing racing style, and no the sleds don't simply sink after a couple of yards. At their top speeds, "water skippers" complete several passes on an elliptical course in several feet of water.
Besides racing, fans can also watch Winter X Games style stunts performed throughout the weekend by the Rave X Freestyle team. There are also over 100 vendors at the games so recreational enthusiasts can gear up before winter. Expect special deals on accessories, clothing, trips and sleds. For more information about the events, check out the NHSA website.

Kuala Lumpur tops global rich list with 13,800 millionaires
Published 4 years ago on 09 December 2014

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 9 — Malaysia's largest city Kuala Lumpur has the highest number of millionaires (denominated in US dollars) surpassing all other cities of the world, according to a report by international wealth research group WealthInsight.
The city had 13,800 millionaires or high net worth individuals (HNWIs) in 2013, higher than Abu Dhabi's 12,500, Cape Town's 8,753 or Birmingham's 8,736, WealthInsight said.
The number of millionaires concentrated in Kuala Lumpur gives an indicator of Malaysia's fast-growing wealth at the top end but also suggests an increasing gap between the richest and the rest of the population.
Average annual income in the country stands around RM20,000 and minimum wage weighs in at RM900 a month.
WealthInsight predicted that Malaysia's number of millionaires will jump from over 26,000 last year to 30,054 in just four years, with total Malaysian wealth also projected to increase from US$151 billion (RM527 billion) to US$206 billion (RM719 billion) in the same period.
"Malaysian wealth grew at the remarkable rate of 59.6 per cent between 2009 and 2013 and is expected to increase by a further 28% to reach US$206 billion in 2018," said the group which claims to have a detailed database on the rich and an international-based team of over 500 economists, analysts and researchers.
WealthInsight analyst Tom Carlisle cited the well-performing Malaysian economy during the financial crisis as the reason for the 45.5 per cent hike in new millionaires minted during the 2009 to 2013 period to the total pool of 26,105.
"Since becoming an Islamic banking hub, Malaysia has seen a large surge in investment to its shores, increasing by 52.6 per cent since 2008 to US$11.6 billion. Malaysia has also seen a large increase in HNWIs acquiring their wealth in finance as well as in real estate and construction, increasing by 64.8 per cent, 57.2 per cent and 55.1 per cent respectively", says Carlisle.
"Malaysian HNWIs are currently investing 54% of their overseas portfolio in the Asia-Pacific," Carlisle said, adding that the Malaysian millionaires' wealth had grew through investment in real estate which would be influenced by the high economic growth expected over the next five years.
Malaysia is also predicted to have more billionaires (20) in 2018 compared against oil-rich United Arab Emirates (19), WealthInsight said in its report titled "Millionaires in Malaysia: 26,000 and Counting".
The leading source on the rich and ultra-rich pointed out that Malaysia's overall wealth was similar to countries with larger populations, including Argentina's US$160 billion, Colombia's US$154 billion and Indonesia's US$206 billion.
"With a population of only 28.3 million, Malaysia has a similar number of millionaires than much more densely populated countries such as Indonesia, whose population stands at 237.6 million.
"This demonstrates the big potential for billionaire growth in Malaysia," Carlisle said.
Currently, Malaysia's billionaires have 209 per cent more wealth than Paraguay's entire millionaire population, with the growth of Malaysian billionaires last year standing at US$46 billion, WealthInsight said.

Each category will have a winner who will receive $20,000. In addition, those three will be ranked, and the second score across the three category winners will receive an additional $10,000 for a total of $30,000!
The 5 submissions with the most public votes will each receive $1,000!
Submissions will be Android apps that simultaneously show one thing on the phone screen, and something else on the connected external display, such as an HDTV.
Some examples might be a dungeon game that shows the main game on the HDTV, and the character inventory or maps on the phone; a presentation app that shows the slides on the HDTV, and the speaker notes and timer on the phone; or a Karaoke app that would show the song lyrics on the HDTV, and the playlist of singers and songs on the small screen. Check out our App Examples page for some visual idea jumpstarters.
Check out the Resources tab for a couple of sources of developer documentation to learn how best to implement dual screen, as well as links to MHL adapters and wireless game controllers for development and testing.
This challenge is open only to (1) individuals and companies who are legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia, Canada (excluding Quebec), United Kingdom, Germany, India, Finland, Sweden, Japan, China, Russia, Italy, Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands; (2) at least eighteen (18) years old or the age of majority in the participant's jurisdiction of residence at time of entry, whichever is greater (for individuals and team entrants); (3) have internet access at the time of entry; and (4) have a valid YouTube, Vimeo, or Youku account.
First and foremost, your game or app must run in a dual screen mode, where the phone screen shows one thing and the connected external display shows something different, yet connected.
Your game or app must be publicly available, such as on the Google Play Store.
Even though Android 4.2 Jellybean runs on both phones and tablets, we're looking for games and apps that specifically target phones, even if they also run on tablets.
The content displayed on the HDTV must be in landscape orientation, the native orientation of HDTVs and monitors. The content on the phone can be in either orientation.
In addition to your app, you'll need to create and post a short video showing how your app works. This video will be used not only for the judges to get a feel for your game or app, but also for the public voting, so make it a good one!
It's simple! Just click on the Register for This Challenge button on the right and fill out the required fields. Make sure that your app or game makes full use of Dual Screen (again, check out the Resources tab for details), that it's available on a commercial app store such as Google Play, and that you've created a short video showing and describing your game or app.
Sr. Business Development Manager, Silicon Image, Inc.
Does making the app dual screen significantly improve the user experience? Does the app make the best use of both the big screen and the small one?
Apps should make use of the sub-frame latency performance inherent in Silicon Image technologies such as MHL and WiHD. Apps or games that use the 8-channel surround sound and charging capabilities of MHL are encouraged.
Is this a new and incredible way to use dual screens on Android? Does the app creatively use external accessories (e.g. Bluetooth keyboard/mouse, dock, game controller, etc.) for an enhanced user experience?

These lawyers were the subject of Louisiana Supreme Court disciplinary orders or Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board recommendations published during the month of September 2019.
Louisiana Supreme Court

Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr Split: Sad Day for Pretty People
Callie Beusman
Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr have separated after three years of marriage (and six years of being together). As someone who used to own a life-sized cardboard cutout of Legolas, I am sad that their love is no longer but also free this weekend if Orlando Bloom is interested.
A rep for Bloom confirms this, stating that the couple has been amicably separated for months and have recently decided to formalize it. "Despite this being the end of their marriage," reads a statement that the two released together, "they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as a family." If the most graceful of elves and a Victoria's Secret angel can't make it work, is there any hope for the rest of us? Sigh. [NY Daily News]
Professional selfie-taker and part-time Teen Trainwreck Kylie Jenner stormed out of a Beverly Hills Hotel after being refused bottle service, decreeing that the place was "fucking lame." Before doing so, she reportedly asked an employee, "Do you know who I am?", which is the #1 best angry famous person catch phrase of all time.
According to the source, "She was a complete nightmare. She started out really nice, but when she didn't get what she wanted, it was like someone flipped a switch." In her defense, she was with a crowd of people that included Jaden Smith and I would probably act the same if someone prevented me from making Jaden Smith feel content. [NY Daily News]
This is really sad: Mary McCormack — the wife of Smash director Michael Morris who was recently photographed kissing Katharine McPhee — was apparently shocked to find out about the relationship. She and Morris had been married for 10 years and have three daughters together.
According to a source, "she is beyond furious and absolutely devastated." Morris is reportedly trying to make things work, but it seems likely that McCormack will split up with him. Really, really awful. [Life & Style]
Lamar Odom is focused on getting his career back on track; he's been sober for over two weeks and is in constant contact with Khloe Kardashian. Who knows if that's true, but one can hope! I will always like Lamar and Khloe, even though she said her wedding vows in a sexy baby voice. [E!]
Lena Dunham hung out with Anna Wintour and Anna Wintour made, like, a quarter of a grin in a photo. VOGUE COVER FORTHCOMING FOR SURE. [HuffPo]
Rose McGowan's wedding looks like it was very beautiful and fancy. [E!]
Prince George behaved very well while his parents put him in a giant dress and dumped water on him. [E!]
Are Kris Jenner and former Bachelor Ben Flajnik dating? Or do they just share a wig person? [NY Daily News]
Jay-Z is getting pressured on Twitter to end his collaboration with Barneys, because Barneys is racist and gross. [NY Daily News]
Lady Gaga wore a moustache and put on a fake German accent while answering fan questions about her song "Gypsy," which is a racial slur. OMG GAGA U R SO ARTISTIC/CONTROVERSIAL!! [MTV]
The National Enquirer is spreading lies about Brad Pitt smelling bad, which is ridiculous because he was in all those stellar perfume commercials. [ONTD]
Audrina Patridge JUST learned about Lauren Conrad's engagement, proving once and for all that she exists in another dimension that we shall never be able to comprehend. In this other dimension, all men look like Justin Bobby. [Perez Hilton]
ROBERT PATTINSON WAS IN A GOOD MOOD. SOMETHING IS UP. [E!]
More speculation in the saga that is Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes' alleged hook-up. We may never know the truth. [Perez Hilton]
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are getting a prenup, which makes sense because they are both very obsessed with wealth. Also one time Kanye wrote a famous rap about the necessity of a prenup. [TMZ]
P. Diddy was a lil bit drunk on TV, but he was very charming and well-spoken. He talked about his plan to be the first black owner of an NFL team and then cackled a lot. [E!]


If you want to get to the top in life – climb a mountain! Nature might be fast asleep under a thick blanket of snow – but even in the cold winter months, the spectacular mountain scenery in Ratschings entices visitors with extravagant experiences. It's a veritable paradise for ski mountaineers and snow-shoe hikers looking for private moments of happiness.

Rules of Consonant Blends
By Brian Heuberger
••• writing book image by AGphotographer from Fotolia.com
Consonant blends are an essential aspect of the English language, for they function to produce numerous sounds that are heard in many of the words and sentences used in the spoken language. If you want to develop a better understanding of consonant blends, it may help to understand the general grammar rules that apply to such blends.
Consonant Blends
Consonant blends are groups of two or three consonants that are placed beside each other within a word. The consonants that make up a consonant blend cannot be separated by any vowels, and the effect is that the sound of each given consonant in the blend is produced but so quickly that the sounds combine and blend together in a smooth manner. Examples of consonant blends include the "bl" in blossom; the "tr" in track; the "pl" in reply; the "ft" in after; the "nd" in send and the "mp" in stamp.
Three-Syllable Blends
Although the above examples represent two-syllable blends, consonant blends can also be constructed from three syllables placed together, with the effect being the same as two-syllable blends. Most three-syllable consonant blends begin with the letter "s," with some examples of three-syllable consonant blends including the "str" in straw; the "scr" in scruffy, the "spl" in split; the "str" in strike and the "spr" in spring.
Difference Between Consonant Blends and Digraphs
The difference between consonant blends and consonant digraphs is that in consonant blends the original sounds of the consonant letters are still heard, even though they are blended together. On the other hand, in consonant digraphs the two consonants are placed together to effectively produce an entirely new sound while the original sounds of the letters generally disappear or are dramatically altered. Examples of consonant digraphs include the "sh" in shutter; the "ch" in chapter; the "th" in theater; the "wh" in who and the "ph" in photograph.
Location of Consonant Blends
Combinations of consonants that produce consonant blends must reside in the same syllable. Furthermore, the blends can be placed in any syllable within the word, although blends are generally located in the first syllable of the word, known as initial consonant word blends, or in the last syllable in the word, known as final consonant word blends. Examples of initial blends include the "br" in break and the "fl" in flag. Examples of final blends include the "lb" in bulb and the "nt" in pavement.

The number of worldwide air travelers and airline ticketing for worldwide sectors are increasing daily due to globalization, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), worldwide tourism, lack of time to depend on other travel services like ship and so on., International enterprise, growing number of expatriates and journey writing etc.
The reward can range anywhere from 5,000 to a hundred,000 bonus miles relying on the card, which may cowl a spherical-trip flight with that airline Also, do not scoff for those who hear flight attendants peddling a bank card on a flight — these can often carry twice the bonus miles usually offered.

Adelaide Wellington Houghton diary
Privately printed diary covering the years when Houghton's husband Alanson was involved in public life, from the time he went to Congress in 1918, to serving as U.S. ambassador to Berlin (1922-25) and to London (1925-29), and then his return to Washington (1929-41). The diary ceases on the day of Alanson Houghton's death in 1941. From the Foreward to the diary: "Much of the truth of the diary lies between its lines. It understates the significance of the events it describes. It was not that [Adelaide Houghton] felt them less strongly, but that she accepted life for what it was, quietly, gracefully, imaginatively, with humor, and with more than one grain of salt."

KEEPING ON TOP: Rogers mForm system uses HP iPAQs which allow users to capture signatures in real-time. The company is confident the feature will be popular with truckers.
TORONTO, Ont. – Cellular phones have been part of a professional driver's tool belt for over a decade. No slouches when it comes to operating communications gadgets, truck drivers were quick to embrace the technology. A driver could call home and dispatch without leaving the cab and customers could quickly find out where their freight was.
In those early days coverage was spotty. And the phones were expensive and awkward. But some of the classic models still inspire loyalty. I know a millionaire who drives around Eastern Ontario talking on one of those ancient car phones that looks like a giant C-clamp.
Another man, Dennis Higgs, an owner/operator from Woodstock, N.B., couldn't wait to show me the vintage Motorola bag phone that plugs into his cigarette lighter. The unit is about 15 years old and has logged over 47,000 minutes of air time. But it puts out an outstanding three watts of power, and he's never been out of range anywhere in North America. "I like it so much that I just bought another one for 50 bucks," he said.
Almost 80 per cent of the general population has at least one cell phone and truck drivers probably mirror that ratio. Often drivers carry two cells: a personal flip phone to stay in touch with the family, and another, often a Telus Mike model, assigned by their company.
Like its competitor, the 10-4 offers Canada-wide coverage. A top end Sanyo 10-4-enabled phone comes with voice mail, Internet access and games, as well as the group calling options.
"We've had some good feedback from customers," according to Poalo Pasquini, of Bell Mobility, media relations.
Flip phones are all the rage for personal use. About the size of a tape measure, they fit in your pocket and a fold-up panel usually displays a small TV screen.
This allows you to receive photos, play games, send text messages and maybe stream videos. You can buy these phones outright and pay anywhere from $20 to $400, or you can opt for a multi-year plan that includes a free phone.
Personally, I would choose a basic model that's cheap and easy to replace – in case you lose it, drop it in a puddle, or run over it with the duals. It should be easy to recharge, and you might want to consider getting one with a built-in camera.
These cameras don't necessarily take great pictures. But one might save your hide if you run into trouble. For instance, you might pick up a trailer at 2 a.m. with a gaping hole in the side. The cell phone camera allows you to document the time when you picked up the trailer and send the picture instantly to interested parties like safety managers, dispatchers or your own e-mail for a personal record.
We are bombarded with so many deals on personal mobility phones that I won't try to list them. But options such as voice mail, call forwarding, call display, e-mail and text messaging might be things to consider. Text messaging is popular with some drivers when they are trying to meet up with each other at a truck stop or rest area.
Each text message costs about 15 cents to send and nothing to receive so it is a cheap way to communicate.
Some cells have limited Internet access and full connections can be had on high-end models like the Blackberry or Palm Trio. But this is an expensive way to surf. For now, a laptop is probably a better choice if you're serious about playing on the Internet while you're on the road (wireless and plug-in connections are available in most big truck stops).
Unlimited long distance calling after 6 p.m. is important for some drivers and obtainable with some plans for an extra $25 or $30. I know a shunt driver who keeps his headset on all night, talking to his girlfriend in St. Catharines, Ont. while he's moving trailers in Toronto.
Most important, you should make the plan fit your needs. A Yanke driver told me he signed a three-year contract for 1,000 minutes per month for $170. However, he usually exceeds that amount and his monthly bill sometimes tops $300!
Another disadvantage with multi-year deals is that something better might come along that's cheaper and has more options. Things are moving quickly in the cellular business and new technologies and systems are making the old ones obsolete.
Blue tooth, available on some cells, is a protocol that allows for short distance communication without cables.
This includes applications like hands free headsets, real time proofs of delivery, and on-board faxing capabilities through devices like a Blackberry.
And tracking systems using GPS phones could be a cheaper way to collect data on loads and power equipment.
"Increasingly, transport companies are using terrestrial cellular networks to transmit location data about their fleets," according to Robert Currie of Telus Mobility Solutions.
Mansell Nelson, vice-president, planning and business development with Rogers Business Solutions, suggests wireless technologies will eliminate most of the paperwork truck drivers are now doing.
"It's the same technology that's in your phone, only a different format," he says. Rogers' mForm system uses HP iPAQs to capture signatures in real time.
The customer signs a virtual bill of lading with a stylus and the proof of delivery is transmitted directly back to the dispatcher or head office.

Case Study: The Roasterie Holiday Email Campaign
The Roasterie Holiday Email Campaign
Total Emails Sent
Increase in Profit
Increase in Orders Placed
With an unforgettable DC-3 aircraft as a mascot and a loyal hometown following, The Roasterie is a local Kansas City specialty and direct trade coffee company that uses a convection air-roasting method to ensure a superior cup of coffee. The company is committed to sourcing the best green coffee beans from around the world at a fair price, and they believe in partnering directly with farmers in a mutually beneficial direct trade relationship.
As the 2017 holiday sales season approached, The Roasterie was interested in leveraging email marketing to increase online sales during the months of November and December. Although The Roasterie was a long-time emfluence Marketing Platform client, they hadn't used email as a part of their holiday marketing strategy in previous years.
The Roasterie engaged emfluence to build a holiday email campaign designed to drive online sales during the months of November and December. By researching holiday consumer shopping insights and analyzing competitor holiday email trends, the emfluence team created at 13-part holiday email campaign designed to establish a holiday email cadence that would touch potential shoppers throughout the season.
Prior to launch, emfluence created a suite of branded, responsive email templates that included updated design elements and appealing graphics for displaying products both on desktop and mobile. The campaign launched in mid-November, and the final email was sent out on December 21st, 2017. The campaign included emails that focused on various products and services offered by The Roasterie, thus allowing The Roasterie to showcase their entire line of products rather than just the coffee blends that made them famous. Some of the top performing emails from the campaign promoted The Roasterie's 5 tour experiences, holiday gift sets, and their Cyber Monday free shipping promotion.
This holiday email campaign was not only successful in driving a 24.4% increase in the number of online orders placed compared to the previous year, but also in providing insights on bestselling products, email engagement rates, and effective list segmenting tactics. The most exciting result came from The Roasterie's Cyber Monday email, which promoted a free shipping offer as an extra incentive. The Cyber Monday email resulted in The Roasterie's best online sales day ever.
In all, the campaign sent 250,888 total emails, with a 23.3% increase in profit over 2016 online holiday sales and a 24.4% increase in the number of online orders placed during the 2016 holiday season.

Tentative Deal Struck for India Basin Park Project
The India Basin Waterfront Parks and Trails Project will create a new 1.8-acre public park as well as rehabilitate an existing 5.6-acre India Basin Shoreline Park and the India Basin Open Space area.
Plan Would Create and Rehabilitate Parkland, Open Space
By Jacob Bourne, Contributing Writer
A huge India Basin mixed-use project that was approved in 2018 is moving closer to becoming reality for a 29.26-acre parcel in the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood. In addition to the 1,575 residential units and 200,000 square feet of commercial space to be developed by BUILD Inc. on private land, there's a second component led by the Recreation and Parks Department on land owned by the City. The India Basin Waterfront Parks and Trails Project would create a new 1.8-acre public park at 900 Innes Avenue as well as rehabilitate an existing 5.6-acre India Basin Shoreline Park and the India Basin Open Space area, for a total of 10 acres.
"We have a tentative deal with Rec & Park and the City and County for a deal but it's missing one piece," said SFBCTC Secretary-Treasurer Tim Paulson. "If the project doesn't end up falling under the Citywide PLA then there will be a reopening clause for Phase 2 that's been written by the attorneys. So, it's a tentative agreement at this point." Last year the San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted the Citywide Project Labor Agreement, but they have yet to finalize it.
Once deals are sealed, both the mixed-use component and the parkland project represent a stockpile of work for the trades. Regarding the mixed-use, Paulson said that Building Trades leaders are ready to commence private sector negotiations with BUILD Inc. The developer has issued a letter of intent to pursue a project labor agreement.
"We're hoping to reach a strong PLA with BUILD Inc.," Paulson said. "They've been committed to strong wages for construction jobs."
At the end of February, Mayor London Breed announced that the state awarded $8.5 million to the India Basin Park project. An additional $25 million donation from the John Pritzker Family Fund and another $4 million from the state budget secured with the efforts of Assemblymember Phil Ting, will go toward the park project.
"With this funding from the state, we are one step closer to a beautiful, waterfront hub for recreation and ecological education in the Bayview," said Breed. "This project is true environmental justice for residents of the Southeast neighborhoods and will be an incredible place to visit for everyone in San Francisco."
In addition to being a place where people can enjoy the outdoors, the park project will undergo shoreline tidal marsh and wildlife habitat restoration. The restored areas will feature docks where people can socialize along the waterfront, an accessible walkway and stairs to connect with the greater neighborhood, garden areas, a public plaza, lighted bike and pedestrian pathway linking the Bay Trail, and an ecological education area where the public can view wildlife. Amenities include a food pavilion, cookout terrace, basketball courts, playgrounds, wetland walk and a boathouse. It's envisioned to give open space access to those living in 2,500 units of public and affordable housing within one mile of the parkland.
"Parks are not a luxury. They're tangible reflections of the quality of life within a community. I'm thrilled a state and local partnership will result in the transformation of an underserved San Francisco neighborhood and offer its residents what's available in other parts of the city: a place to connect with others and enjoy public recreation," said Ting.
The Recreation and Park Department acquired India Basin Park in 2014 with the intention of transforming a post-industrial brownfield into a modern legacy park within a historic waterfront context. The project's design phase began in 2019 and is expected to continue through this year.

Emotional Wellbeing During Pregnancy
Dr. Pooja Lakshimin, a perinatal psychiatrist, shares her advice on supporting on emotional wellbeing during pregnancy.
As a birth and postpartum doula, I work with women and families during one of life's most exhilarating and vulnerable journeys. With in-person support limited as precaution during the COVID-19 pandemic, my clients and I have focused on educational and informational support, and creating emotional wellbeing during pregnancy to process the ups and downs of our new normal.
Looking back over the past few months, a clear trend is emerging: creating daily mindfulness practices to nurture emotional wellbeing and support the health of their babies has helped families feel more resilient, prepared for their births, and given them new tools for postpartum peace of mind.
I connected with Dr. Pooja Lakshmin, a perinatal psychiatrist who specializes in treating women during pregnancy and postpartum. Dr. Lakshmin recently launched a digital women's mental health education service offering small group virtual courses on pregnancy and mental health. We spoke to her to learn more about emotional wellbeing during pregnancy and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Here are her five tips on how to care for yourself during uncertain times.
What advice do you have for a pregnant woman who might be struggling to deal with unpredictable circumstances or feeling a loss of control?
Focus on small decisions to claim agency. We're in a period of tremendous uncertainty, and pregnant and postpartum women are having to make so many decisions that they did not anticipate having to make. In times of uncertainty, focusing on where you have agency helps us feel in control and competent. Take action in small ways that make you feel like you are moving forward. It can be simple things like deciding to cook a favorite meal or tidying up your bedroom. These small tasks add up and make us feel in control.
Maintaining connections with our loved ones during social distancing can be challenging. What's your advice to someone who may be struggling to communicate or connect during this experience?
Name your feelings and take time for yourself to reflect. When we get overwhelmed it's usually because we are feeling a combination of many different emotions, simultaneously. Naming your feelings takes power away from ambiguous or amorphous worry. Journaling and meditation can ways to recognize, process, and release complicated emotions or experiences.
What can we do if we feel like stress is interfering with our daily lives?
Designate worry time. If you find yourself facing ruminative, intrusive anxiety that doesn't go away, try designating "worry time." Set aside 20 minutes per day where you are allowed to worry about anything and everything. Wherever your brain wants to wander is fine! But, if any worries come up outside of that time, you aren't allowed to indulge them. Acknowledge those moments with mindfulness by writing them down, and setting them aside for your daily "worry time."
What are some ways to self-soothe if you are feeling depleted?
Activate your senses. When you find yourself overwhelmed, get back into your body. Listen to music, lay on your favorite blanket, cuddle with your pet. Anything that stimulates your senses will help you feel less anxious.
If you could only share one piece of advice about emotional wellbeing during pregnancy with an expecting mom right now, what would it be?
It's okay to grieve. When coping with the loss of your expected birth plan, recognize that it's completely normal to feel a sense of grief. Grief is not a linear process. With each loss, whether it's finding out your partner cannot come to prenatal appointments, or that they can't be there during delivery, you're going to feel grief. When big feelings hit, activate your coping skills. This could be practices like exercise, meditation, yoga, or journaling. It could also be a distraction through TV or reading. Stay connected with trusted support people or grow your community by joining a virtual new parent group or online community.
There's no one-size-fits all solution for mindfulness, from meditation to exercise or prioritizing sleep and nutrition, mindfulness practices are simple, intentional choices you make to care for your whole self.
