Could be a favourite. (Review by chloe) I'm not sure if they have substituted rose oil for rose petals to flavour the tea but recently the quality is inconsistent across sachets within the same box. Some are intensely flavoured and others are bland. Could have been a favourite.


Galen studied at the medical school in Pergamum and was appointed chief physician to the gladiators in Pergamum in 157 AD. He moved to Rome in 161 AD and entered the court of Marcus Aurelius whom became his good friend. He became physician to Aurelius' son Commodus in 169 AD. Galen wrote over 500 treatises on medicine and related subjects, however, a large number of these were burnt in a fire at the temple of Peace in Rome. Over a hundred works still survive. Galen greatly influenced medical theory until the end of the Renaissance.

[SIZE="a"]I have bipolar and lately I have been dealing with hypomania a lot more. I am also in the process of trying to get a job. I recently went on an interview and while I did well...I do think that my hypomania got in the way of be doing exceptionally well.
I didn't get the job and I am mostly okay with it but does anyone who has bipolar have tips for interviewing while hypomanic.
I think my biggest issue is that while I am dealing with the hypomania I talk non stop and say things I don't need to or make conversations overly long.
Looking back I think there were times I did this (said things I shouldn't have and talked longer than I needed) and I noticed it than and to make up for it I would shorten another answer.
I can't guarantee this is why I didn't get the job but the company will not share as they are quite confidential.
Any tips or help would be appreciated as I should have an interview coming up ... this month maybe?
I worry I'll blow that interview and it is a job I would want.
I interview well...even exceptionally or so I have been told by past interviewers/a past boss.
How do you usually manage the bipolar? In general, it's good to make sure that you are getting enough sleep and looking after yourself to try to minimise the affects of a hypomanic episode.
In terms of interviewing, maybe you can have some sort of reminder or cue to help you keep to the point? Maybe practice interviewing while wearing or having a reminder, perhaps a watch or a folder/portfolio, to help you keep to the point, and take these reminders into the interviewer, to help you remember to try keep to an even pace?
I don't have bipolar so not sure how helpful my answer was, but I hope that others can help you out!


I received this email the other day seeking advice from a submissive husband who is unsure of how to tell his Wife of his desires in serving Her. he is worried that She might not respond favorably once he has descided to open up to Her. his email and My response is below.
The easiest way is to introduce D/s to Her is gently. Show Her literature online like Elise Sutton's or Paige Harrison's websites or even My own blog, and see how She reacts. If She shows interest and is openn, go further to introduce Her to more of the lifestyle. A key factor here is to always respect Her responses to what you are showing Her, either positive or negative. If you are too pushy, She will more than likely back off and it will be more difficult for you in the end. Always be honest & open with Her and encourage Her to express Her feelings by you doing the same, (lead by example). It may be a long process due to societal conditioning, however, with luck, She will realize that this is a wonderful lifestyle which will have many benefits to you both.
D/s is a dance between partners; a showing of faith and love which can go so much deeper than a regular vanialla relationship. It creates a circle of trust between the partners involved; a bond that will defy difficult times and will allow them to experience a level of passion that many others wish they could achieve. I wish them sucess in finding their path.

Scouting Report for NFL Draft prospect Greedy Williams: Would Jets target him if they trade down?
Former LSU cornerback has combination of size, speed
By Bent | Apr 16 | 11:32AM

Bent, theJetsBlog.com Follow on Twitter
Although the Jets re-signed Darryl Roberts and added Brian Poole in free agency, most Jets fans would like to see an upgrade to their cornerback group. General manager Mike Maccagnan admitted last month that Roberts is unproven, so perhaps he would feel more comfortable with one of the top draft prospects as his second starter.
The Jets' draft strategy could therefore entail trading down and targeting the top cornerback prospects. Many experts believe Greedy Williams from LSU could be the first cornerback to be selected. Is he a good fit to be the Jets' top pick?
Projected Pick: End of 1st round/Beginning of 2nd
College (career): 71 tackles, 20 passes defended, 8 interceptions
Combine: 4.37 in 40-yard dash
Williams is a tall cornerback (listed at 6-foot-2) with above average length (31.5-inch arms) and showcased his athleticism with an impressive showing in the 40-yard dash at the scouting combine. He's regarded by many as the top press coverage cornerback prospect in this year's draft.
At LSU, Williams posted dominant coverage numbers, as he allowed a catch on less than 40 percent of his targets and showed his playmaking ability with 21 pass break-ups and eight interceptions.
Scouts feel good about Williams' potential to step right in at the pro level and cover NFL-caliber wide receivers, especially after he did an outstanding job against top wide receiver prospect DK Metcalf, holding him to a season-low 37 yards. In direct coverage, Metcalf gained just 31 yards on seven targets against Williams.
Williams' straight-line speed gives him a second gear that enables him to recover and run with players on downfield routes. He didn't give up a single 40-yard play in his two years with the Tigers.
Although Williams might be able to grow into his frame, he's still a little lightweight at this time. Listed at 185 pounds, he only managed to post a disappointing eight bench press reps at his pro day, so he might need to bulk up to avoid getting "out-physicalled" by bigger receivers. However, Metcalf is big and strong, so his success in that match-up should give teams confidence in his ability to cope with the move up.
Although his numbers across his two years as a starter are solid, Williams' 2018 season wasn't quite as productive as his first year. He intercepted six passes in 2017, but only nabbed two in 2018. He also gave up more yards, a higher yards per catch average and two touchdowns in 2018, having only given up one in the previous year. In addition, he had more penalties -- six, as opposed to just two in 2017 -- developing a worrying grab habit at times.
While his strength is in press coverage, Williams doesn't fare as well in off coverage. That's reminiscent of Trumaine Johnson, who is regarded as a press specialist but rarely seemed to be employed in press coverage in 2018. Unless the Jets are going to be aggressive and press both their corners the majority of the time, they'll need both their starters to be able to hold up in off-coverage on occasion.
Another concern with Williams is that he hasn't played much in the slot. While he'd be brought in to compete for a role on the boundary and the Jets have Poole and Parry Nickerson to battle for the slot role, it's useful for young corners to be able to play inside. Otherwise, it can be difficult to get them on the field if they don't earn a starting role.
Finally, while Williams' credentials make him an attractive pick, there are some other cornerback prospects experts believe could step right in as starters, so perhaps the Jets could get more value from the pick by using it on someone else.
We can feel confident at least one major voice within the Jets' organization will advocate for this move. While Williams and Jamal Adams never played together, Williams was a redshirt freshman during the pro bowler's final season, and you can bet he'd happily welcome another former LSU Tiger into the fold.
From a needs perspective, this pick provides the Jets with a potential upgrade and will hopefully bring them a long-term solution. However, Williams does have a few limitations which could cause teams to wonder how he'll fare if he gets called into action as a rookie starter.
With his length, athleticism and press coverage abilities, Williams is exactly the type of player that the Jets seemed to target with regularity during the Todd Bowles era. Whether defensive coordinator Gregg Williams is as enamored by the same kind of player remains to be seen.
5 bold predictions for the Jets 2019 season, including Sam Darnold's first Pro Bowl bid
The Jets are also going to do more than just make the playoffs
In the last six months, the Jets have finished off their third straight season of double-digit losses, their eighth straight season of missing the playoffs, and they've fired their head coach and general manager. No wonder so many believe that things couldn't possibly get any worse.
Of course, that's not the defeatist attitude around One Jets Drive these days. Inside their building, they believe things are about to get much, much better. They have added many talented reinforcements, a high-energy coach, and a GM who seems ready to pull them in the right direction.
Will it all work out for this star-crossed franchise? It's not too early to guess. So here are five bold predictions for what to expect from the Jets this year:

Each year, football fans anxiously await the new Madden NFL game to hit the shelves. But their player ratings generate even more buzz.
Well, EA Sports has released their initial rankings for each team, and Jets fans may not like where their team has ended up.
At the moment, the Jets are a 78 overall with an 73 offense and 80 defense, which is good for the sixth-worst team in the game. The Dolphins, an AFC East rival, are the game's worst team at 72 overall, while the Bills are third-worst at 78 overall. The Super Bowl defending-champion Patriots are an overall 87.

Does Gang Green add another tight end like they did in 2017?
By Bent | Jul 15 | 11:24AM
Chris Herndon (89) Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports (Brad Penner)
Last week, the Jets announced that tight end Chris Herndon would be suspended for the first four games of the 2019 regular season. This will obviously be a blow for the team, as they look to establish their new-look offense under Adam Gase. Herndon caught 39 passes last year to lead all rookie tight ends, including 32 over the last 10 games.
However, if the Jets intend to make a move to improve their tight end depth and give themselves further cover at the position, the options are somewhat unappealing.
Last month, even before the Herndon suspension was announced, Bucky Brooks wrote on NFL.com that the Jets should consider trading for veteran Jimmy Graham. However, adding a veteran who is past his prime and still on a high salary would be an overreaction at this point, especially if they had to give up anything of value to acquire him from the Packers.

Jets' Jamal Adams excited for healthy Marcus Maye: He's 'one of the best free safeties' in the NFL
Safety duo weren't able to build on rookie momentum last season
By Nick Wojton | Jul 14 | 1:30PM
(Seth Wenig)
Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye built a strong chemistry when the two were rookies in 2017. Last season injuries prevented the duo from building on that start to their careers.
Due to a slew of injuries, including shoulder and thumb issues, Maye was held to only six games played in 2018. Adams wasn't shaken by injuries. His season went in the opposite direction as he landed his first Pro Bowl nod.
However, Adams recognizes the success of the Jets' secondary takes more than just him and he recently told the team's website that he's excited to have Maye back healthy and ready to go for this year's training camp.

Jets tight end Chris Herndon has been suspended without pay for the first four games of the 2019 season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, the team announced on Friday.
Herndon, 23, pleaded guilty to a DUI that occurred in June 2018 back in January.
He received a 90-day driver's license suspension and was fined $639 in municipal court while the NFL continued to investigate. A first-time offender is typically given a two-game suspension, per the league's alcohol policy, but the commissioner can impose additional discipline for aggravating circumstances.

AFC East Power Rankings: Where the Jets stand before training camp
Will Gang Green's big changes see a much improved team?

With training camp just a couple of weeks away, it's a good time to take stock of the rest of the AFC East. Let's review some of the big storylines for each of the Jets' rivals, and assess where they should stand in the Power Rankings...
1. New England Patriots - 2018 record: 11-5
Ordinarily, you'd expect any team to struggle to overcome the loss of key contributors like Trey Flowers, Rob Gronkowski and Trent Brown, among others. However, the Patriots have traditionally had no problems integrating replacements for their departing stars.

Could Gang Green make the playoffs for the first time since 2010?

There's a new general manager (Joe Douglas), a new head coach (Adam Gase), a new star (Le'Veon Bell), and a new attitude (Gregg Williams and many others). All of that has the Jets thinking this is going to be a great season.
But the "old" quarterback -- 22-year-old Sam Darnold -- is still the biggest reason for hope of all.
The Jets may not be ready to say it publicly, but internally they are thinking playoffs. In fact, they're expecting their first playoff berth since 2010. They may not be ready to win the AFC East, but they feel there's no reason why they can't emerge as an AFC contender.
Why Jets DC Gregg Williams could be biggest key for Sam Darnold
Darnold should benefit most from Jets' defensive coordinator
By John Healy | Jul 9 | 4:32PM

Of all the new coaches that could help Sam Darnold in his second NFL season, it's Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams who could have the biggest impact on the quarterback.
Williams has a reputation for being intense and bringing that competitive energy into practices, which is one of the reasons why head coach Adam Gase hired him.
That intensity, coupled with the different schemes and looks he will deploy in the defense in practice, is something should benefit Darnold, according to offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains.

Weighing the Jets' options in the NFL Supplemental Draft
Are any available players worth a pick?
By Bent | Jul 8 | 10:00AM

The NFL's supplemental draft takes place on July 10th, with the potential for multiple selections for the second year in a row. Could any of the available players interest the Jets, though?
New general manager Joe Douglas has already stated his intent to investigate any and all options to upgrade the roster he inherited from his predecessor, Mike Maccagnan. With the option to forego a 2020 draft pick to add a draftable prospect at this late stage of the offseason, he might be tempted to pull the trigger.
When Douglas and new director of player personnel Chad Alexander were both on the Ravens staff, they opted to use a fifth-round pick on tackle Jared Gaither in 2007. This proved to be a nice pick-up as he started 28 games in his first three years. New assistant general manager Rex Hogan was also on a Bears team that used a seventh-round pick on fullback Harvey Unga in the 2010 supplemental draft. This pick was less successful, though.

Darnold seemed to like Harrison last season, but there are concerns about his game
By Bent | Jul 4 | 1:29PM
The Jets franchise has been blessed with consistency at the center position throughout most of its history. From the Super Bowl-winning John Schmitt to two-time Pro Bowler Joe Fields, the reliable Jim Sweeney, Hall of Fame nominee Kevin Mawae and all-pro Nick Mangold, the Jets have rarely had an extended period without a solid long-term solution at the position.
However, since Mangold's retirement, the Jets have been unable to adequately fill the position. While there seems to be plenty of optimism that Jonotthan Harrison could fill that role, fans and media remain skeptical.

The New York Jets selected defensive tackle Quinnen Williams with the third-overall pick at the 2019 NFL draft and despite that, some believed he was the top prospect.
The latest addition to that group is EA Sports, as the producers of the upcoming video game, Madden 20, gave the Alabama product the best ranking of any rookie in the game.
Williams' overall rating in Madden 20 is an 80. He edges out the Bills' first-round pick, another defensive tackle in Ed Oliver, and the second-overall pick, pass rusher Nick Bosa. Those two were rated 79 and 78 overall, respectively.

The New York Jets' new defensive star, C.J. Mosley, knows a thing or two about what makes a winning pedigree. The former Baltimore Raven made the playoffs twice with his old team and learned how to lead a defense from Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs. He has already assumed a role as a vocal leader and a "culture changer" for the Jets' defense.
There's no doubt that Mosley's teammates will listen when he speaks up. That said, Mosley's latest bulletin-board statement is sure to get Gang Green's collective blood pumping.
"We know the whole NFL is sleeping on the Jets, so we're ready to prove them wrong," Mosley told NewYorkJets.com. "They always have been [doubting the team], even I was when I wasn't here."

Joe Namath says there is no doubt about it, Tom Brady is the best quarterback to play the game.
The Jets legend and Hall of Fame quarterback was asked about the greatest of all time at the position while on The Howard Stern Show on Monday, and while Namath has idolized many quarterbacks, none compare to the six-time Super Bowl champion who has tortured the Jets the last two decades.
"Tom is the best," Namath said. "I've been asked that question for many years -- Johnny [Unitas] was my hero, Otto Graham was great, Slingin' Sammy Baugh, I go back, these guys are great. But meantime, Tom has been challened more in recent history, certainly with huge games than anybody I can recollect -- and he stepped up every time."

Josh McCown was a mentor to Sam Darnold in the Jets quarterback's rookie year.
And even though he won't be around Darnold in his second year with New York after announcing his retirement and transition to ESPN NFL analyst, he is confident Darnold will show vast improvement in 2019.
"I tried to empty the clip with him and give him everything I could," McCown told ESPN's Rich Cimini. "He'll be just fine."

LISTEN: Audio from Jets RB Le'Veon Bell's 911 call released
Bell's girlfriends disappear with $500,000 of his jewelry

TMZ Sports released audio from Le'Veon Bell's 911 call when he told the operator that two women left his house with more than $500,000 worth of jewelry.
Bell reported to police on May 25 that he returned home from the gym to find jewelry missing and his closets had been rummaged through.
On the phone call, Bell told the Hollywood (Florida) Police Department that when he returned home from his workout, the two girls "took my money, they took my watch, my jewelry, a couple more of my things of value out of my house."

Versatile running back Ty Montgomery had a few destinations he could have pursued in free agency this offseason. But he eventually decided the Jets was the place for him, even though he wouldn't be the main man in the backfield.
That title, of course, goes to Le'Veon Bell this season after he signed a long-term deal with New York. Still, Montgomery believed the Jets was the right fit, mainly because of the offense Adam Gase brings with him.
"You have to be smart," Montgomery told newyorkjets.com's Ethan Greenberg about Gase's offense. "You have to be able to catch the ball and you have to be able to run the ball. You can't have an imbalance and be at running back in this offense. It's actually pretty cool, it's challenging. I think it suits my abilities and I'm loving it."

After adding former GM Phil Savage earlier on Tuesday, Douglas made two other personnel staff additions
GM Joe Douglas made key additions to the Jets' front office on Tuesday.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Jets added Browns GM Phil Savage and Ravens Director of Pro Personnel Chad Alexander. Later in the afternoon, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Colts VP of Player Personnel Rex Hogan has been hired by Gang Green to be Douglas' assistant GM.
The 54-year-old Savage's role is unclear, but he returns to an NFL front office for the first time since he was with the Eagles from 2010-12. Meanwhile, Alexander will serve as director of player personnel for the Jets.

The Jets' offseason has been a wild roller-coaster ride. It started at the bottom when they fired their head coach, peaked during free agency and the draft, then went on a wild spiral downward when they fired their general manager … and then somehow managed to come out of it OK.
In fact, not only do they seem OK now that GM Joe Douglas and his good buddy, head coach Adam Gase, are in charge; they are convinced they are on an uphill climb again. They are loaded with optimism. They feel like they are finally headed in the right direction. They believe a return to the playoffs is near.
Maybe they're right. Or maybe they're fooling themselves. For now, though, there has been an unusual amount of hope and excitement around the Jets as they wrapped up their spring organized team activities and mini-camps. Time will tell if that's warranted or not.

Jets QB Josh McCown is officially hanging up his cleats, as he announced his retirement after 17 NFL seasons.
Penning his retirement in a Players' Tribune article, McCown reflected on "one heck of a journey" that he has gone through in his NFL career.
While some have expressed their belief that McCown would be a great coach, he will join ESPN as an NFL analyst beginning Wednesday.
Brant Boyer confident Jets special teams won't falter despite losing Roberts, Myers
Roberts and Myers were both special teams Pro Bowlers in 2018
It's safe to say Jets special teams coach Brant Boyer was ecstatic to see not one, but two of his players reach the Pro Bowl last season. Kick and punt returner Andre Roberts and kicker Jason Myers both put together solid seasons, good enough to be voted among the NFL's best to represent the Jets.
But, now, Boyer doesn't have the luxury of those two on his depth chart any longer. Roberts is now a Buffalo Bill and Myers signed with the Seahawks, with both players not happy New York wasn't competitive in bringing them back.
Roberts, in particular, was one of the best return specialists in the NFL last season. He totaled 1,147 yards on 40 returns (29.4 ypr) with one touchdown, and had 324 yards on 23 punt returns (14.1 ypr) with a touchdown as well. That type of production will be hard to match, and Boyer knows it.

'It was just pure family back then'

To illustrate the lovely bond that bloomed between the 1969 Mets and their roommates at Shea Stadium, the Jets, John Schmitt tells the following story:
Schmitt, the center on the Jets' Super Bowl III champs, brought his young son, John-John, to the ballgame one night to see the great Tom Seaver pitch. Schmitt ushered John-John into the Mets' clubhouse, where Seaver was getting a pre-game massage. Schmitt did not want to disturb a fellow athlete's prep, but Seaver insisted.
"He got off the rubdown table, put on his jersey and hat and took a picture with us," Schmitt recalls. "He was great. Then he takes off his jersey, gets back on the table and went out and won the game that night.

More Marvel games in the future?
After its initial debut into Marvel Comics thanks to the currently-ongoing Spider-Geddon crossover event, Insomniac Games' Spider-Man PS4 will be receiving its own official comic book adaptation. The six-issue miniseries is slated to release sometime in March 2019.
Written by Dennis Hopeless and illustrated by Michele Bandini, the upcoming Spider-Man PS4 comic will be titled, Marvel's Spider-Man: City at War. It will not only retell the events of Marvel's Spider-Man but also expand on unseen moments and bonus behind-the-scenes content by the folks at Insomniac.
I've read many comic book adaptations of MCU and Star Wars movies published by Marvel Comics. Most of them offer almost nothing new in terms of content, satisfied to just rehashing the events of the source material.
However, the Spider-Man PS4 comic miniseries will probably be different. That's because Marvel is planning Marvel's Spider-Man: City at War to be the first in a series of new stories from what they are officially dubbing the Marvel Gamerverse.
The potential of a Marvel Gamerverse is exciting, especially if it means more high-quality Marvel games in the future. On the other hand, it might also mean that Marvel is only planning to expand the Marvel Gamerverse exclusively with comics. We'll have to wait and see what's in store for this brand new Marvel Gamerverse. The Avengers Project perhaps?
In the meantime, feast your eyes on the cover of the first issue by Clayton Crain below (Source: Press Release via Newsarama).

ENTREPRENEURS and anybody desirous of starting his own business must put on their thinking cap and unleash their creative powers at this time when the country is going through a recession in order to continue to stay afloat.
Chief Dakuku Peterside Dr. Dakuku Peterside, Director General, Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, made the proposition at the Lagos/South West, University of Liverpool Alumni in Nigeria, 2016 Business and Career Fair, in Lagos.
He said it is important for entrepreneurs to develop what he termed, 'The You Economy", rather than continue to wait for the country's economy to improve before taking important decisions that would move their companies forward. He observed that remarkable progress are usually made in challenging times as long as business owners are willing to dare and step outside their current position.
Speaking on the theme of the programme, "Staying Afloat: Strategies for Surviving and Thriving in Challenging Times", he said that entrepreneurship involves identifying existing gaps with a view to fill them, creating something originally not in existence or improving on something already in existence, while insisting that those innovations must also be relevant to the market need.
He emphasized the need for entrepreneurs to originate their own ideas. Most important pillar Dakuku argued that money is not the most important tool required by entrepreneurs to succeed, but rather a well thought out plan and detailed execution of the plan. He said: "The most important pillar you need to succeed is to innovate; you need to unleash your creative power in times like this. Innovation is, in itself, the key to unlocking your potentials in times of depression if you truly want to maximize or optimize opportunities in times like this.
It is good to be an employer of labour, but you cannot be an employer of labour if you are not offering service and if you are not offering service, then, there is no reason to be an employer of labour. There must be something you are addressing. You must have entrepreneurial capacity and you must be addressing a need, if not, you cannot be said to be an entrepreneur.
At best, you are a trader. You must have your personal plan; you must have your financial plan, an investment plan and growth plan, including investing in advancing yourself and you must be mentally ready to follow through with your plan. You must retool yourself to be mentally alert to execute your plan," Peterside added.
To innovate, he said there is need for entrepreneurs to study their environment, the marketplace and build the network necessary to leverage on opportunities. In her welcome address, Mrs. Joy Duncan, Coordinator, Lagos/South West, University of Liverpool Alumni in Nigeria, said the programme is an annual event that offers members opportunity to continuously learn in an informal environment. Speaking on the theme, she said they ensure that their themes align with the current economic realities to prepare members to take advantage of opportunity presented by every situation.
Speaking on the topic, 'The Lean Start-up', Mr. Edwin Monife, Chairman, Angelos Interbiz, encouraged prospective entrepreneurs to start small, experiment, pilot every new concept and ensure they are prudent with money.

Q: Sort by estimate size in ggcoef I have a lot of variables from a multiple regression I would like to visualize. How can I sort by estimate size in the GGally::ggcoef function.

A: you will have to dig in to the function to change the ordering by the looks of this. When you type ggcoef in to the console you can see its arguments and the code that goes inside. I've picked it apart with the sample data you see in ?ggcoef. Play around with it more to get it in the format you desire. Hope this helps, Jonny
p.s. good thing about this is you can mod it more. I would for instance add p <- p + theme_minimal() as I prefer the aesthetics ;)
# packages and sample data/model
library(GGally)
library(broom)
library(ggplot2)

d <- as.data.frame(Titanic)
reg2 <- glm(Survived ~ Sex +  Class + Age, family = binomial, data = d, weights = d$Freq)

# eg with gg coeff
ggcoef(reg2, exponentiate = TRUE, exclude_intercept = TRUE, errorbar_height = .2, color = "blue")

# set defaults
vline <- TRUE
vline_intercept <- "auto"
vline_color <- "gray50"
vline_linetype <- "dotted"
vline_size <- 1
conf.level <- 0.95
conf.int <- TRUE
exponentiate <- FALSE
errorbar_color = "gray25"
errorbar_height = 0
errorbar_linetype = "solid"
errorbar_size = 0.5

# type ggcoef in to the console to get the function. It orders on name with
# no option to change it
x <- broom::tidy(reg2, conf.int = conf.int, conf.level = conf.level,
                 exponentiate = exponentiate)

# these two lines will change the ordering based on estimate
x$variable <- factor(x$term, levels=unique(as.character(x$term)) )
x <- transform(x, variable = reorder(variable, -estimate) )

# rest produce the ggplot in the function. Play around with settings as required
# perhaps rewrite the function with your added arguments and store ;)
p <- ggplot(x, mapping = aes_string(y = "variable", x = "estimate"))

if (vline) {
  if (exponentiate) {
    if (vline_intercept == "auto") {
      vline_intercept <- 1
    }
    p <- p + geom_vline(xintercept = vline_intercept,
                        color = vline_color, linetype = vline_linetype,
                        size = vline_size) + scale_x_log10()
  }
  else {
    if (vline_intercept == "auto") {
      vline_intercept <- 0
    }
    p <- p + geom_vline(xintercept = vline_intercept,
                        color = vline_color, linetype = vline_linetype,
                        size = vline_size)
  }
}

if (conf.int & "conf.low" %in% names(x) & "conf.high" %in%
    names(x))
  p <- p + geom_errorbarh(aes_string(xmin = "conf.low",
                                     xmax = "conf.high"), color = errorbar_color, height = errorbar_height,
                          linetype = errorbar_linetype, size = errorbar_size)

PIFP gives career opportunities to students
By: The Catalyst
For graduating seniors, post-graduation plans can be daunting. They represent the first moments of unscheduled time in what amounts to a roughly 16-year race to the diploma. Possibility yawns wide…as does the prospect that 55 percent of our class will be moving back home with hopes of reacquiring the jobs we had in high school. The prospect of being employed, engaged, and paid for the next 12 months? Yatzee.
For underclassmen – knee-deep in a liberal arts education and ready to demonstrate their skills – a paid summer internship can be just as valuable. These smart cookies of the freshman, sophomore, and junior differentials see their wide-eyed senior counterparts and think "one day, that's gonna be me!" And when it is, they plan to be prepared.
The importance of substantive work opportunities to personal and professional development cannot be understated. For students at every step of their academic careers, trying new fields and actively participating in the workforce is invaluable.
The Public Interest Fellowship Program understands this reality. PIFP provides paid summer and yearlong fellowships with prestigious nonprofit organizations in Colorado.
"I am deeply impressed with CC's commitment to placing its students in top-quality nonprofits working for the public good," said sophomore Elliot Mamet, Summer Fellow with the American Civil Liberties Union. "The PIFP program speaks volumes to the College's values of integrity and social responsibility, and allows students to immerse themselves in pursuing those values."
PIFP was adapted from the Princeton Alumni Corps, an alumni-run and driven program at Princeton University. Recognizing a similar need for nonprofit experience amongst CC students, Sociology Professor Jeff Livesay developed the program in partnership with several on and off campus stakeholders.
In 2003, the PIFP advisory board was created. It consisted of CC alumni that work in the nonprofit sector, as well as representatives on campus from the faculty, the Career Center, the Alumni and Parent Relations office, and the Development office.
The first group of fellows began work in May of 2004. "[The program] started with 10 positions and 30 applications for the 2003-04 cycle," says current PIFP campus director Lani Hinkle. By comparison, "for the 2012-13 cycle, we had 23 positions and 92 applications. We've seen a lot of growth."
To date, the program has placed more than 160 CC students in PIFP summer and yearlong positions. Students have had the opportunity to work with organizations that focus on education, the environment, economics, equality and civil liberty/rights issues, health, children's advocacy, law, disabilities, the arts, civic engagement and politics, and domestic and sexual violence – just to name a few.
These organizations apply to PIFP. According to Hinkle, "they are selected based on their ability to provide meaningful work, great supervision, plentiful opportunities for growth and learning, and a guaranteed paycheck."
The program is unique, said Hinkle, in that "fellows are treated as full employees of the organizations they work with and are given responsibilities that are above what is expected in most entry-level positions."
Though roles vary from organization to organization, fellows are generally engaged in some sort of policy work, advocacy work, legislative research, policy research, or direct service. Responsibilities are equally disparate, including communications, public relations, writing, advocacy, community organizing, fundraising, research and analysis.
Summer Fellowships extend for 10 weeks and pay $3,000. Yearlong fellowships last 12 months and pay $22,000 plus healthcare benefits. Fellows have access to mentorship programs, wherein they are paired with a CC alumnus in the nonprofit sector. Training sessions and networking opportunities help Fellows make the most of their experience.
Hinkle explains the step-by-step application process as being fairly straightforward. "Students submit their applications, and if their applications are approved, they are scheduled for an on-campus interview with the CC alumni interviewing team on Feb. 8 or 9. On the basis of the strength of their applications, interview, skills, and experience, three or four candidates will be recommended for each organization/placement. Those candidates will go on to interview with the organizations, and the organizations make the final decision for their fellow. The goal is for all fellows to be placed in their organizations before spring break begins."
For those interested in applying, the Career Center has sponsored interest meetings throughout the year. The next one held on Jan. 23 at 12:15 p.m., in the WES room. The application deadline is Jan. 30. There are 15 summer positions available, and 21 yearlong positions available, offered in a wide range of disciplines.
Founder Jeff Livesay concluded, "PIFP is an incredible way for students to test out a career interest and for graduates to launch a career in the nonprofit sector – and to put their values into practice in the process."
As a nearly-there senior dangling on the precipice of college and employment, that prospect sounds pretty darn good to me.

The vote was 23 to 15, with all Republicans voting in favor of the bill and all Democrats against it. Two amendments regarding Indian/Native Hawaiian funding were offered in Committee, one of which was adopted.
The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) is designed to increase coordination among federal workforce development programs through a One-Stop delivery system. Activities may include basic education services, classroom and on-the-job training, counseling, job search assistance, and vocational rehabilitation services. The WIA authorization expired in 2003 but Congress has continued to appropriate funding. The House and Senate approved differing WIA bills in the 108th and 109th Congresses but failed to agree on a final bill. It remains to be seen whether the current (112th) Congress will reach an agreement.
HR 4297, introduced by Representative Foxx (R-NC), is designed to streamline administration of job training programs. It would repeal the authorization for 27 programs and consolidate their funding into a single Workforce Investment Fund. The bill would strengthen state control and increase the representation (from 51 to 66 percent) of business leaders on state and local Workforce Investment Boards. Democratic opposition to the bill centers on the dismantling of the current youth workforce system (the bill encourages states to allocate 18 percent of their funds for competitive Statewide Youth Challenge grants), the change in membership of the Workforce Investment Boards (feeling that non-employer stakeholders will be marginalized) and the possibility that various groups now served by the repealed programs would not receive sufficient services.
Tribal Program. Among the programs whose statutory authorization would be repealed is the Native American Employment and Training program (Section 166 of the WIA). As introduced, the bill would instead allow the Secretary of Labor to allocate a maximum of one percent of appropriated funds to tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations. The bill was amended in Committee by Representative Noem (R-SD) to increase this to a maximum of two percent. Representative Kildee (D-MI) countered with an amendment that would have: 1) mandated a guaranteed minimum, rather than a maximum, of two percent, and 2) restored the statutory authorization for the Section 166 program. Current law requires that the funds authorized in Section 166 be distributed in a manner that is consistent with the Indian Self-Determination Act and specifically authorizes tribes to include WIA funding in their PL 102-477 consolidated programs. The Kildee amendment lost on a party line vote. As the bill now stands, a Secretary of Labor could allocate anything from zero to two percent of funds for tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations and new rules or guidance would need to be developed for this allocation.
Title I WIA programs include Workforce Investment Systems and Job Corps, for which Congress appropriated $4.9 billion in FY 2012. Tribes receive two main sources of funding under Title I, and in FY 2012 received $60 million for the following two programs combined:
• Comprehensive Services Program (referred to as the "adult" program although it serves adults and youth) for American Indians, Alaska Natives and Hawaiian Natives in all parts of the country, both on- and off-reservation. FY 2012 tribal funding was $47.6 million ($5 million below FY 2011).
• Supplemental Youth Services for Native American youth, ages 14 to 21, on or near Indian reservations and in Oklahoma, Alaska, and Hawaii. FY 2012 funding was $12.4 million ($1.4 million below FY 2010).
Tribes and Indian individuals also benefit from other services that are proposed to be in the consolidated program, notably Jobs Corps and YouthBuild.
HR 4297 would authorize $6 billion for the Title I WIA programs. Under the best case scenario, the tribal/Native Hawaiian allocation could be up to $120 million; that is if Congress appropriated the full $6 billion and if the Secretary of Labor provided the full two percent.
The bill would also amend the Adult Education and Literacy program (Title II) and the Vocational Rehabilitation program (Title V) which are administered by the Department of Education. The Adult Education and Literacy Program received
$607 million and the Vocational Rehabilitation program received $308 billion in FY 2012. The bill would leave intact the Vocational Rehabilitation funding allocation for tribes of one to 1.5 percent. The FY 2011 tribal allocation was $43 million.
The bill would prohibit consolidation of Perkins Career and Technical Education and Vocational Rehabilitation funds into the proposed Workforce Investment Fund although they would be taken into account in the development of state plans.
At this point HR 4297 is not scheduled for a House floor vote and in fact several other House committees will likely want to weigh in on selected portions of the bill. There is no Senate equivalent bill although last year a draft Senate bill was circulated.

Bachelor Party is a 1984 American comedy film directed by Neal Israel, written by Israel and Pat Proft, and starring Tom Hanks, Adrian Zmed, William Tepper and Tawny Kitaen. The film was made in the wake of the success of Police Academy. The film chronicles a bachelor party being thrown by a group of friends for their friend Rick Gassko (Hanks) on the eve of his wedding and whether or not he can resist the temptation of being unfaithful to his fiancée Debbie (Kitaen). The origins of the film came from an actual bachelor party thrown by producer Ron Moler and a group of friends for fellow producer Bob Israel. In fact, several members of the cast and crew involved with the production of the movie were at that party when the idea began to take shape. This film is considered to be the one that launched Tom Hank's career.
Comments: Very cool artwork of a young Tom Hanks.

The AppAdvice Week In Review: Sapphire Glass, The iPhone 5s, Gift Ideas And More
by Bryan M. Wolfe
It wasn't exactly a quiet holiday week in the world of Apple. Here are just a few of the stories we covered during the week that was:
Stock Price Rise
Apple investors haven't had a lot to smile about since the company's stock price hit a record high in September 2012. That has changed in recent weeks, as AAPL closed above $550 to close out the holiday week. As Joe White noted:
It's been a whirlwind year for Apple stock, but after the highs of late-2012 and the lows of mid-April, shares in the Cupertino, Calif. company closed above $550 after yesterday's Black Friday trading, indeed leaving Apple investors feeling thankful this holiday season. More precisely, Apple stock closed at $556 – up 10 points on the day – demonstrating that confidence in the company is continuing to grow. Before the next-generation iPad and iPad mini were announced in October, you'll remember that Apple stock reached above $500 per share; however, shares in Apple really started to pick up during the weeks ahead of its September iPhone event.
For the year, Apple shares are now up 4.5 percent. For the quarter, they have risen 16.64 percent.
Apple has big plans for Touch ID, sapphire glass in the coming years
Touch ID is only available on the iPhone 5s -- and only through the device's home button. That is likely to change in the coming years. A recent patent shows that Apple is looking to make the sensor into a trackpad on future iOS devices. As Brent Dirks explained:
Along with tracking where your finger is, the patent also describes how the home button can measure how long and hard it is pressed. That makes the button, as the site describes, into "an advanced joystick." The patent even mentions how the Touch ID capability could be integrated into the entire touchscreen. That could allow, for example, only authorized users access to certain apps like Mail.
Meanwhile, Apple is hoping to equip its next-generation iPhone with an "unscratchable" sapphire glass screen, and has invested more than half a billion dollars in an attempt to speed up the development of this promising technology. Currently, Apple only uses sapphire glass on Touch ID and iPhone cameras. As White noted, Apple has paid some $578 million to GT Advanced Technologies to speed up "the development of its next generation, large capacity ASF furnaces to deliver low cost, high volume manufacturing of sapphire material."
Jeff Nestel-Patt, marketing director with GT Advanced Technologies, explains that the more durable sapphire glass "is virtually scratch-free," and some 2.5 times stronger than the much-used Corning Gorilla Glass. Though Apple indeed uses sapphire glass to protect its camera and Touch ID-equipped Home button, it looks like an expansion of this technology could indeed be in the cards.
It isn't known when Apple will launch iOS devices with sapphire glass screens. However, with Apple rumored to be working on iPhones with larger screens, the change could happen as early as 2014.
The iPhone 5s is flying off the shelves
This wasn't supposed to be a banner year for iPhone sales. After all, the current phone has a letter "s" attached to its name. Nonetheless, the iPhone 5s is turning out to be more popular than its predecessors. Just 69 days after release, the adoption of the iPhone 5s stands at 8.21 percent. At this point last year, the iPhone 5 had a usage rate of 6.94 percent. With this in mind, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Foxconn has boosted iPhone 5s production at the request of Apple. As noted by The Wall Street Journal, Foxconn has 100 production lines operating around the clock at its plant in Zhengzhou (northern China), all of which are working towards producing iPhone 5s handsets and components for Apple. Each individual production line consists of around 600 workers, meaning the Zhengzhou plant has 60,000 employees working on the flagship smartphone. The iPhone 5s launched on Sept. 20. The device had been in short supply. Inventory levels have recently improved.

Maranatha High School Filmmakers Represent Area in Video Competition
Article and Photo courtesy of MARANATHA HIGH SCHOOL MAY 21, 2014
Composer Blair Feng, and filmmakers Ryan Shoji and Sebastian Whittembury. (not pictured: Aogu Jimbo)
Three Maranatha High School student filmmakers, Ryan Shoji '14, Sebastian Whittembury '17, and Aogu Jimbo '16, were selected to represent Los Angeles County recently at the Directing Change Video Competition. The contest was created to build awareness for suicide prevention, and to help eliminate the stigma surrounding mental illness. "I assigned the video as a class project," said Maranatha's Tech & Media Faculty Mr. Dulgarian, "as I believe it is a great opportunity not only to complete, but to help change lives. I think it goes hand in hand with our mission as Christians."
The awards ceremony was held at the Crest Theatre in Sacramento on Tuesday, May 13, where the group, supervised by their teacher, was given an honorable mention for their short film in the suicide prevention category for LA County. The group enlisted fellow student Blair Feng '16 to write a song for their piece. Feng's original composition and recording, "You Are Lucky", was featured in the group's video, as well as featured in the awards ceremony to kick off the entire event! Maranatha High School is very proud of their student filmmakers.

It Takes Kids to Teach Accountable Leadership
What happens when the way we have always done things isn't working? What happens when change is necessary but we seem stuck in a pattern? What happens when a situation needs a leader, or in this case, leaders?
Each year gun violence in schools is rising. There are more reported incidents of children being harmed in schools than ever before. There does not seem to be an end in sight. What happens now?
What has happened is that the kids stood up and said "Never Again" and lead the March for Our Lives.
It comes down to stepping up to accept the responsibility of leadership and that is just what the students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida have done. They inspired over 800 sister marches in every state and on every continent except Antartica.
Accountable leaders inspire others to greatness, both individually and collectively. Leaders unite people for a common cause or goal and then light the way to their objective. Leaders believe in the people around them, their ability and their potential and then find a way to tap that goodness and reach that potential.
That is what is happening in the wake of the horrific event that happened in Parkland, Florida. The kids are taking on leadership roles. They are stepping up in an exciting way.
Accountable leadership is being responsible for others. These students have shared concern not only for those affected by gun violence in schools but also for others effected by gun violence. They showed concern for the over 5850 people who were shot and killed in Chicago since 2005 and shootings that have taken place in Los Angeles.
These students have stood up and spoken their heart. They are leading us to be better as a nation, just like the young people during the Civil Rights movement led us to be better as a nation. That is what leaders do. They help make us all better.
These young leaders are not taking an extreme stance. There are already extremes on both sides. They just want to be safe at school. These leaders just want to create a space where all youth can receive a good, safe education.
Standing up and being a leader takes courage. You don't have to be a certain age to stand up and have a voice or lead but you do have to believe in something and believe in the possibilities of the people around you.
Leaders can come in any color, sex, religion, physical shape or age. These students have shown us that. We not only need to recognize the supreme leadership that these students have shown but be inspired to be better leaders ourselves, in our organizations, our communities and in our families.

Home » Politics Betting » Politics » Ron Desantis Favored To Win Republican Nomination For President 2024
Politics Futures: Republican Candidate for U.S. President is a Two-Man Race
Trent Reinsmith | December 14, 2022
There are any number of Republican candidates who might represent the party in the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. Some of those individuals include Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson, former ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, former vice president of the United States Mike Pence and governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin. However, right now, close to two years before the Presidential election takes place on November 5, 2024, the two front runners for the Republican nomination are 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump and governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis.
Before we look at who might represent the Republican party in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, make sure to check out the best political betting sites and our extensive list of politics odds and picks.

The governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, has emerged as a favorite among conservative members of the Republican party. The 44-year-old has yet to declare his candidacy. However, many see DeSantis throwing his hat in the ring as inevitable.
In a July 2022 poll from The New York Times / Siena College, DeSantis was the most popular alternative to Donald Trump for Republican voters. In a more recent poll from USA TODAY / Suffolk University, two-thirds of Republicans inclined to vote want DeSantis to run. Moreover, those polled preferred the Florida governor over the former president 56 percent to 33 percent.
DeSantis is seen as a strong leader who is not bothered by controversy. That was evident when he backed such items as restricting voting rights, Florida's "Don't Say Gay" law and politicizing critical race theory.
Ron DeSantisTO WIN REPUBLICAN NOMINATION IN 2024
The 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump, has already announced his plan to run for president in 2024. He made that announcement on November 15, 2022. Unfortunately, Trump's popularity among conservative Republicans has fallen off since he left office in 2021. The 76-year-old is going to have a hard time regaining his base. As David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, told USA TODAY, "Republicans and conservative independents increasingly want Trumpism without Trump."
The candidates Trump supported in the midterms did not fare well. Further, his role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection has not served him well among current voters.
One thing Trump has that might influence voters is charisma. And that could get voters to believe in him and his message.
Donald TrumpTO WIN REPUBLICAN NOMINATION IN 2024
Trump's vice president, Mike Pence, is in an interesting spot heading toward the 2024 Presidential election. When Pence failed to side with Trump on and after January 6, he lost a great deal of appeal to Trump supporters. However, Pence picked up some support from those who did not take to Trump's role in the insurrection.
In a July poll, Pence tied for fourth with former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley for the Republican nominee for president in 2024. He trailed DeSantis, Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
At best, Pence, who has not declared his candidacy, is a long shot.
Mike PenceTO WIN REPUBLICAN NOMINATION IN 2024
If DeSantis runs, he will become the favorite the moment he makes that announcement. What will follow that announcement very quickly is Donald Trump's attempts to denigrate and decrease the appeal of his foe. That could work to sway some voters, but I don't think Trump's efforts wil pay off. The best bet to be the Republican candidate for president in 2024 is Ron DeSantis.
Pick: Ron DeSantis to be the Republican candidate for president in 2024.
