Ashley Iaconetti is pregnant! The "Bachelor in Paradise" star and her husband, Jared Haibon, announced the exciting news in an Amazon Live on Thursday, July 15, 2021. Heavy caught up with the parents-to-be and got the inside scoop on the next Bachelor Nation baby to join the family.
Ashley & Jared Got Pregnant 7 Months After They Started Trying
Ashley and Jared have been pretty candid about their pregnancy journey, often sharing updates on social media. They tried for seven months before they got the news they've been hoping for.
Heavy: How did you find out? Did you have symptoms that led you to believe that THIS was the real deal?
AI: My boobs were really sore. More so than usual before my period. So, the day before I was supposed to get my period, I took a pregnancy test — which I usually don't do. And it was a fine line, and we were like 'oh. Mmhmm." So then we took a few more…
Jared Haibon: It raised an eyebrow.
AI: We took a few more, and the one that said "pregnant/not pregnant" was the nail in the coffin.
JH: And she missed her period. So, the combination of everything led us to the path we are on right now.
H: Was there any point that you got nervous that it wasn't going to happen naturally? If so, how did you stay positive?
AI: Well, my doctor was very assuring…she was not worried for us. She said, 'after a year, you can come in and we can run tests.' We were thinking about doing a sperm analysis for Jared, just because one in three infertility issues…
JH: Well, we weren't thinking about doing it. We were going to do it, but then she became pregnant.
AI: Yeah, so. The month before he was going to do it, that happened! Yeah, one in three or four… are from the guy. The issue is coming from the guy. So it's just, like, a nice, really easy, non-invasive way.
JH: Once we started getting to three, four, five months, it was like, 'okay, wow. This might take a lot longer than anticipated. And we just got really lucky that the seventh month was the key!
H: Is there one thing that you learned throughout the process of trying to conceive that you wish you knew beforehand?
AI: I think I wish, I mean, I kinda knew this, I didn't want to get acne, so I didn't get off my [birth control] pill for a while, until we were ready to conceive. But, if I had to redo things, I probably would have gotten off the pill a little bit earlier. Not that my cycle didn't get normal right off the bat, because I was very lucky that it did. It doesn't always happen like that. But it did take a while for my hormones to balance out. I was losing hair, and stuff like. I was working with a naturopathic doctor, and she had some concerns that I probably wouldn't get pregnant until those hormones started to balance out. So, I think that may have contributed to a few months, but who knows?
JH: And, for me, I'm just a guy. So, it was more like 'okay you just gotta be ready to go at this time and this date. And it's like, ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom!
The Reactions Were Priceless
A post shared by Ashley Iaconetti Haibon (@ashley_iaconetti)
H: How did you (Ashley) tell Jared the news?
AI: I didn't do anything cutesy. I literally walked out of the bathroom, and was like, 'so I took a pregnancy test, and there's a fine line. And it says that a fine line means you're pregnant.'
H: Who (out of family/friends) had the best reaction to the news? Details please!
JH: Oh, Lauren. Your sister.
AI: Well, my dad was such my dad. He was like 'yeah' and that was it.
JH: He goes, 'so, who's the father?'
AI: My mom couldn't stop crying. My sister just like, her jaw was literally…open.
JH: And she screamed, which was very endearing.
AI: Your parents were so funny. The facial expression from your parents [were] amazing. Your dad made it seem like you like won the winning touchdown at the Super Bowl.
JH: He's like, 'my boy! He's got the gift! He did it!'
All of the Pregnancy Details
Ashley and Jared told Heavy that they are due on February 10, 2022. While they don't know the gender of their baby just yet, they are planning on finding out next week.
JH: And we are going to find out. We're not going to wait.
AI: We don't know if we're going to do a gender reveal or anything. I feel like I just need to find out on my own privately.
JH: I'd like some sort of reveal. But, obviously, it's entirely up to Ashley.
AI: I think for our friends and family, not for us.
AI: We have a boy name picked out. One thousand percent. It was from when I was 20-years-old. But we don't have a girl name.
H: Do you have any crazy or unusual pregnancy cravings?
AI: Honestly, I don't think I call them cravings as much as I call them tolerances. Like, sometimes I'll just be like, 'oh, okay. That sounds like something I could stomach right now.' I will say I had a weird — maybe this was a craving — I wanted a Ruby Tuesday salad bar the other day.
JH: That's weirdly specific.
AI: The next day, I was like, 'ew that sounds repulsive. I do not want a salad.'
H: How are you dealing with morning sickness?
AI: I don't even like calling it morning sickness because I think that just diminishes it.
JH: It's morning, afternoon, evening, and night sickness.
AI: And, if I'm not throwing up, I'm nauseous. And it's been miserable.
JH: Yeah, she's had a rough go at it. I feel bad.
AI: I have not enjoyed this pregnancy at all. Like, I don't understand people. Like, I truly don't get how people can be like, 'oh, I loved being pregnant.' Like, it makes me want to punch them in the face!
JH: Well, you are only — you're not even finished with your first trimester yet. You might really enjoy your second and third trimester. Maybe you won't be sick.
AI: I can't imagine I will enjoy it, though. I feel like my body has been taken over by something.
JH: It kind of has been.
AI: And I don't like being not in control.
JH: Your body has been hijacked.
AI: One thousand percent. That's the best way of saying it.
As far as Ashley's pregnancy must-haves, she says that chocolate chip pancakes are the one thing that haven't "betrayed" her.
H: What are you most excited for WHILE you're pregnant?
AI: I think the only thing I can think about being excited about while pregnant, I guess the kick. Like, just feeling the baby actually move. Like, 'oh, you're alive inside me.'
JH: I think the idea of life growing inside you is pretty incredible.
AI: So, I think once the baby starts being more interactive, it'll be like, 'oh, now I know what I'm doing this for.'
JH: And plus, when we go back and get another ultrasound, and we can start seeing the shape of the baby and there's feet… the baby kicking and me feeling your stomach while the baby is kicking. Those will be special moments.
As far as nursery themes go, Ashley and Jared are preparing to decorate with New England Patriots gear for a boy, and if it's a girl, it will be "princessy."
Fans of Ashley and Jared will be thrilled to know that they plan on sharing a ton about their pregnancy. "You're going to see the nitty gritty," Ashley told Heavy, adding that she's "excited" to show everyone what she has looked like over the past several weeks. They are also preparing to do several Amazon Live streams.
H: Have you gotten advice from other Bachelor Nation parents? If so, what's been the most helpful/useful (and from who)?
AI: "I think Jade helped me the most. I'm even concerned about parenting at the moment, as much as I am just getting through this pregnancy. Jade said that the first trimester is just about surviving. I've always thought of her as this strong person who is not phased by her body changing. And, for her to say that to me, makes me feel a lot less alone.
JH: Jade's the best.
H: What are you each most excited for when it comes to becoming parents?
AI: I think Jared and I share the same sentiment where it's like we're really excited to share our loves, our passions, our beliefs with our baby.
JH: Yeah, of course. The things that we loved as kids — sharing them with our kids, I think is going to be one of the coolest experiences of my life.
Jared went on to tell us that he's particularly excited to share his love of "Star Wars" with his child. He's also excited about sharing the Marvel MCU, too! Oh, and a must? The Haibon kids will definitely be binge-watching "Boy Meets World."
And, of Course, There's 'The Bachelorette'
Ashley told Heavy that she and Jared have been watching this season "of course" and they both seem convinced that Blake Moynes is going to be the guy that Katie Thurston chooses in the end.
Ashley is also hoping (with the rest of Bachelor Nation) that Michael Allio is cast as the next "Bachelor"!

Approximately 75% of our patients receive services covered by Medicare.
About 8%, have services covered by their private insurance.
Close to 8% have services covered by Medicaid.
About 9% of our patients receive "free" services made possible by support of the community.
When Hospice of Natchitoches was established in 2000, one of the guiding principles was a pledge to care for "our" community. Since then nearly all medically eligible patients, regardless of their ability to pay for services, have been accepted into our services. Since that time, we have dedicated ourselves to compassionate care for the dying as a form of community ministry rather than as a business and set quality of care, not financial reward, as the ultimate measure of our success.
To establish and maintain an indigent patient fund—from which the cost of providing care to patients without means can be paid—Hospice of Natchitoches has relied on the generosity of the community, memorial gifts, donations, and special events fundraising.


Anyone concerned with skin aging in particularly skin plumpness, hydration and radiance.
With age, our lipid production declines which slows down the skin's natural ability to repair itself and optimal barrier function. This results in premature signs of aging such as dullness, tightness and a loss of plumpness. Triple Lipid Restore works to replenish the skin's lipid depletion by providing the perfect balance of the lipids your skin needs.
Great! This is a super luxe cream that felt instantly hydrating. This treatment did a delightful job at soothing irritation and making my skin look and felt plumper. Being barely 25 I won't comment on the long term anti aging benefits but ingredients wise I'm very optimistic. I used this just at night although it can absolutely be used morning and night. Use after cleansing and toning and follow with moisturiser. Oily skin might be happy without moisturiser.

Corrections and clarifications for March 2012
Correction: A story in the March issue entitled "Are renters ditching brokers?" incorrectly stated that Doreen Fuentes is with Barak Realty. She is, in fact, with Bond New York.
Correction: In a March 5 Web story, The Real Deal cited a report that named the wrong buyer for 363 Fourth Avenue. The actual buyer of the development site is the Naftali Group.
Correction: A story in the March issue entitled "Establishing a beachhead" incorrectly stated that Andrew Saunders started his firm with two Corcoran brokers. One, in fact, was a marketing assistant. The story also mistakenly stated that the firm has taken aerial shots of every Hamptons waterfront property in the last three years. In fact, the photos were taken only of oceanfront properties. The sub-headline of the story should have also noted that the firm had $850 million in "exclusive" listings.
Correction: In a March 2 Web story, The Real Deal spelled Prudential Douglas Elliman broker Yoko Sanada's name incorrectly.
Correction: In an April magazine story entitled "Charity cases: Does it pay to give back?", The Real Deal misstated the percentage of its fees that Good Property donates to non-profits. The correct amount is "up to 10 percent."
Correction: In a March 9 story entitled "Priciest, cheapest units to hit the market," The Real Deal misstated the square footage and the features of the priciest listing to hit the market that week. The apartment measures 3,168 square feet and does not feature an outdoor terrace.
Correction: In a March 12 Web story, The Real Deal incorrectly stated that Jennie Ma had been among several agents let go from brokerage Core. Ma said she actually resigned from the firm.
Correction: In a March 12 Web story on the South Florida site, The Real Deal incorrectly stated that OPKO Health CEO Phillip Frost owns the home at 27 Star Island Drive in Miami Beach. Frost owns a larger home elsewhere on Star Island.
Correction: In a March 21 Web story entitled "Municipal Arts Society eyes libraries for housing," The Real Deal omitted an NYPL statement saying that housing discussions were not on the table.
Correction: In a March 22 Web story entitled "Accident at Columbia University-owned demolition site kills one, injures two," The Real Deal incorrectly identified the address of the collapsed building due to incorrect information provided by city agencies.
Correction: In a March 20 Web story on the South Florida site, The Real Deal cited a South Florida Business Journal report that incorrectly said TPG's purchase of the Flagler portfolio was held up because it was seeking a $100 million price discount.
Correction: In a March 26 Web story The Real Deal incorrectly identified the initiation of public review. It began March 26. The Real Deal also combined the names Vision 2020 and Waterfront Revitalization Program. The two are separate documents.
Correction: In a March 26 Web story on the South Florida site, The Real Deal cited a Palm Beach Post report that incorrectly characterized the shifting retail landscape at CityPlace in West Palm Beach. The complex is becoming more of an entertainment center, rather than a shopping center.
Correction: In a March 28 Web story, The Real Deal incorrectly characterized Trevor Day School's ownership of its buildings. The school rents at 4 East 90th Street but owns the building at 1 West 88th Street.

SOUTH STORMONT – A snowmobile rider has died in a single vehicle collision in the township on Christmas Eve.
SD&G O.P.P. were on the scene around 5 p.m. Sunday on the Long Sault Parkway near Ingleside.
Investigators say the man driving the sled struck an object and lost control of the machine before crashing.
His identity is being withheld until family are notified.


Electrical engineering is the classical example of an application for our ceramics, fully exploiting their exceptional electrical and thermal properties. Every hot air blower used in construction sites, every hand and hair drier and every locomotive relies on techncial ceramics in order to operate.
The most important requirement for applications in electrical engineering is electrical insulation, often in combination with high temperature resistance. Technical ceramics are absolutely perfect in both regards.


Comprehensive Project Insurance is a multi line policy provides cover to both erection and construction risks, also provides comprehensive protection.
Comprehensive Project Insurance offers all-in-one insurance protection for the entire duration of a project. The multi-line policy provides cover for pre storage followed by construction/erection, testing/commissioning and finally maintenance works.
The cover ceases once the project has been completed and/or handed over to the operator or the employer.
The policy can be taken out for civil engineering and infrastructure projects but also for the erection of machinery, plant or steel structures of any kind. The insurance may be concluded by the employer and/or by the contractors engaged in a project, including all subcontractors.
In addition a marine cargo cover, including marine BI, marine (air, sea, and inland transit), and marine DSU, could be attached in order to provide a comprehensive project cover from the beginning. Depending on the type of project and requested scope of cover, the insured can take out any of the above sections and tailor his Comprehensive Project Insurance Policy in accordance with his insurance requirements.
The general section contains definitions, general exclusions and general conditions which are applicable to all sections. The general exclusions are in line with those found in construction and erection all risks insurance policies used in the international insurance markets.
Section IA (Material damage) represents a combined construction and erect ion all risks coverage and follows the same insurance principles as outlined under CAR/EAR. This section thus provides a very wide cover and is subject to only few standard exclusions.
Section IB (Plant, machinery and equipment) is based on the existing CPM policy, however, with the exception that it covers not only construction and erection machinery and plant but also the temporary equipment (e.g. camps, stores, scaffolding) installed at a construction or erection site and not only that belonging to the contractors but also to the insured employer.
Section II (Third party liability) coverage is provided for third party claims in respect of property damage or bodily injury arising in connection with the execution of a construction or erection project. This insurance section also contains a cross liability clause according to which the insurance applies to the insured parties named in Section IA as if a separate policy had been issued to each party.
Section III (Delay in start-up) indemnifies the insured employer for a loss of the interest insured as a result of delayed commencement of the business insured caused by an accident covered under Section IA.

Free-to-use app connects potential township tenants to backroom landlords
By gcis vuk'uzenzele - 30 July 2021 - 07:00
Entrepreneurs Israel Mashele and Oskido Mathe developed an app called AmaRoom.
Image: Supplied.
Entrepreneurs Israel Mashele (32) and Oskido Mathe (32) have developed an app called AmaRoom to help tenants find room rentals in townships.
"It is a quick, safe and easy way to find your perfect room in a township," says Mashele.
He came up with the idea when he realised that many people in Tembia, Gauteng were struggling to find rental accommodation.
"I worked with an agent to help me find tenants for the rooms at my parental home. I found it fascinating that he advertised his rooms on WhatsApp.
"When I asked him why, he said people are using mobile technology and apps are an easy way to spread word-of-mouth advertising. This sparked the idea," Mashele explains.
It took over two years for Mashele to perfect the app. He explains that a landlord simply uploads their personal details, an image of the property, where it's located and how much it costs.
An administrator then conducts security checks and approves or denies the post. Tenants can then search for a property to rent.
The app covers 263 townships nationally.
"We have enabled landlords to add areas which may not have been covered, but an administrator also has to validate and approve these areas. Our aim is to grow our coverage in Gauteng, particularly in Alexandra, Soweto and Tembisa."
The app is free to use. "The market is tough and asking uMama or uBaba to pay a subscription fee would not suffice. Instead, we are looking at potential advertisers, such as local moving companies, DStv installers and other service suppliers one uses when you move."
South Africa's informal rental market is said to make up 18% of the country's rental market, translating to thousands of rands each year.
The app is aligned with government's research into a plan to upgrade township dwellers' properties, for backyard rentals, by creating a rent-sharing agreement between the main landlord and funder.
The Gauteng MEC for Human Settlements, Urban Planning, Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Lebogang Maile, recently said: "Most townships and informal settlements have a thriving backyard rental market that provides affordable accommodation to people who can't afford rental housing provided by the big players in the social housing market."
The app is available to download from the Google Play Store and Apple iStore.

Work in Progress © Joanna Piotrowska, 2015
Interview with Joanna Piotrowska, Jerwood/Photoworks Awards 2015 Awardee
We caught up with one of the 2015 Jerwood/Photoworks Awards winners, Joanna Piotrowska, to discuss her win, her new work and her working process.
Jerwood/Photoworks Awards 2015
Each artist has received an award of £5,000 to support the making of new work for exhibition, with a significant production fund and mentoring support. The three artists will present their work in a group exhibition as part of the Jerwood Visual Arts programme which will open at Jerwood Space in November 2015 and tour to other partner venues including Impressions Gallery, Bradford.
Embarking on her Jerwood/Photoworks Awards project, Joanna planned to continue her interest in exploring psychotherapeutic methods such as process-oriented psychology as a framework to examine how socio-political factors affect people in their private lives and personal sphere. Through focusing on the perpetual state of anxiety within modern society, she hoped to uncover the unconscious, long lasting consequences of historical events intertwining with the current climate of potential catastrophe and unseen threat.
Joanna Piotrowska
PW: What does winning a Jerwood/Photoworks Award mean to you?
JP: It gives me the possibility to do broader research on ideas and topics I've been exploring in my practice in the last few years.
It also allows me to find common ground in seemingly different projects I've already accomplished, plus those I haven't started yet. It's a time for me to see my practice as a whole, and draw links between different ideas to make the next project more accurate and more universal at the same time.
PW: Could you briefly describe what you're working on now?
JP: At the moment, I'm reading about private-public constructions, mainly those which describe how the family is affected by political decision and social structures, as well as environmental and cultural factors that cause anxiety.
PW: How has your practice developed already?
JP: I've mainly been reading and making notes about things I'd like to try in the coming weeks. It's hard to watch the progress, being in the middle of the working process. Thoughts coming up right now may bear the fruits very unexpectedly several months later. Exploration of everything that attracts and stimulates me, even if unrelated today, can become the part of the future project.
Joanna Piotrowska (b1985 Poland) received an MA in Photography from the RCA in 2013. In 2014 Joanna was awarded the MACK First Book Award for FROWST and in 2013 exhibited for Bloomberg New Contemporaries and Family Politics at Jerwood Space, London. FROWST was shown at Media Space, London in March 2015.

(1) You will likely want to start the process of your move earlier than one might think. Many of the best movers may be booked in advance as much as 4 to 8 weeks out. Always provide your estimator (via email, phone or in person when available) as much information concerning your move as possible. This will help to ensure a more accurate estimate and minimize any surprises at the end of your move.
(2) Combine items you will need immediately upon arriving at your new home into one or two boxes and have them loaded last so they can unload first. Take medications, important paperwork, valuable or cherished items, and other valuable items with you in your own automobile.
(3) While with the moving estimator you will want to ask as many questions as possible. Doing so will likely avoid misunderstanding later. Make sure you have a clear understanding of the claims process up front. For example, let's say you open a box 10 days after the move and you find a broken item?
(4) All moving companies should carry liability insurance and worker's compensation insurance. Avoid doing business with movers who don't carry the appropriate insurance. Otherwise, you may be held liable for any injuries and damages that can occur during your move.

Neversink Spirits was founded by two long-time friends with a passion for spirits, wine, food, and nature. They named their Port Chester distillery Neversink Spirits, after the Neversink River as "a tribute to New York's nature." After years of tasting, tinkering, sipping and planning, Noah Braunstein and Yoni Rabino found a project in which their passions could be realized and Neversink Spirits was born. Making spirits is their calling, apples their muse, and they finally found the vehicle in which to share their vision with their fans.
Apples are the cornerstone of Neversink Spirits' production. In 2012, through a grassroots effort from volunteers and friends, they planted over 350 apple trees on Camps Road Farm. Spirits produced from the over 15 varieties of apples, all difficult to obtain heritage varietals that produce excellent cider and brandies, will excite the palate with new ways to experience of America's favorite fruit. They are passionate about apples and want to share that passion.

A friend loaned me a book today. Rosemary Gladstar's Family Herbal, and between the pages was one perfect pressed leaf. Once home I flipped through the book, not looking for specific herbs, but looking for mementos of a well-loved book. Or a well-used book. Which is probably the same thing. I found leaves I recognized and others I didn't.
Many years ago when I started baking bread, one of my sisters gave me the Tassajara Bread book. I opened it to old bits of flour, squished and petrified bits of dough, and scribbled notes throughout. She knew that this would mean more to me than a brand new version. The recipes stood for years of her not just following them, but learning, tweaking, and experimenting. I still have the book and still use it.
I found a book at the second hand store that I haven't read yet and really don't have any desire to. I bought it because, throughout the pages, there are little tart comments in shaky, elderly lady handwriting. Rather like one of my books that is full of my grandmother's commentary in the margins.
An elderly friend's diary that I inherited.
Do you write in your books? Do you leave mementos? Do you dog-ear a page that has words that mean something special? Do you make the book your own?
I don't do that with all the many, many books of fiction in the house. But I write in books on writing and other non-fiction books. I mark pages I learn from, pages that grab my heart and pages that sing to me with beautiful language. Oddly, Barry Lopez's book, Arctic Dreams is heavily highlighted, underlined, starred, and dog-eared. I say odd, because I did not expect a non-fiction book on the Arctic to read like poetry.
But it's more than just signs that someone was moved by something on that page. The pressed leaves, the bits of flour, the fading penciled old-lady words are like ties that bind me to the readers. There's a connection with that old lady, even though I will never know who she was. The herbal with its pressed leaves shows me another wonderful personality trait of my friend. It's like walking an old path with companions, touching what has been, sharing the words.
I'm sure I'm going to enjoy the herbal and learn from it. But what warms my heart and makes me love the book before I even start reading, are the leaves that someone took the time to pick up, dry, press, and lay between pages, with the words, waiting.


In May 2017, The Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI) and Green Chimneys announced the publication of a study exploring the effectiveness of an animal-assisted social skills intervention for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Research was conducted at Green Chimneys, a therapeutic school and treatment center for children facing social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. Findings demonstrate that incorporating therapy dogs in social skills training is a valid approach to teaching children with ASD to engage with peers and improve social interaction.
Dr. Becker, along with co-PIs Dr. Erica Rogers and Dr. Bethany Burrows, analyzed 31 Green Chimneys students ages 8-14 diagnosed with ASD and compared social and emotional functioning before and after the intervention. Students either participated in an animal-assisted social skills group or in a traditional social skills training group without an animal present.
Findings showed that the inclusion of dogs in social skills training was more effective than traditional programs. Specifically, participants who received the animal-assisted social skills intervention exhibited fewer social skills deficits overall, fewer restricted and repetitive behaviors, and more typical social communication following the intervention. The study also found that participants who received the animal-assisted social skills intervention exhibited a greater level of change in social skills, perspective taking, theory of mind, and decreased feelings of isolation and depression.
Dandelion came to Green Chimneys after being abandoned by her former owner at a veterinary clinic in Pennsylvania. Initially, we were told that Dandelion was a boy, but we soon discovered that she is female! While her story has a happy ending, it serves as a reminder that caring for any animal is a lifelong commitment.

In the Era of Culture Wars: What We Can Learn From the Story of Joseph and His Brothers
By J. Rolando Matalon
D'var Torah
The following is an excerpt from Rabbi Roly Matalon's d'var Torah for Parashat Vayigash on December 11, 2021. Watch the full d'var Torah here, embedded below, or listen on SoundCloud.
How do we interpret the journey of our lives, with all their pain and complexity and challenges and struggle?
Do we see it like Yosef, or do we see it like Yaakov?
In Yosef, we find a sense of purpose, a sense that life has served a goal greater than himself, that he's been of service, that he's been sent through his suffering. Yosef opens up to empathy and forgiveness. He uses his suffering to open up to empathy and forgiveness. In Yaakov, we find a sense of bitterness and deep disappointment but beyond our personal lives.
We live at a time of great deficit of empathy and solidarity, and a great deficit of hope. We live at a time of really unbridled individualism, of "me-firstism." In our country, a culture war is raging over race, gender identity, education, science, vaccines, abortion, guns, climate.
Wherever we look there is bitterness and disappointment. There's profound anger, and there is hopelessness all across the map and all across the political map. There is profound anger and a sense of hopelessness. There is little or no empathy in solidarity, and there's a competition. Who's been more deprived, who's more forgotten, who's more oppressed, who's more entitled, who is more morally superior.
Everyone and every group is involved in their own pain: in the righteousness, the misfortune, the suffering of their own group, in the victimhood of their own group. Perhaps, there is something we can learn from the story of Yosef and his brothers. Perhaps we can change the present narrative and forge, as Aviva Zornberg says, a therapeutic narrative, full of expressions of relationship, to paraphrase her. Out of the brokenness, maybe [what] can emerge a rethinking of our past and our present, a redemptive reframing of the story like Yosef did, that will bring the hope of empathy, of solidarity and wholeness.

A patriarchal rural society, where my students showed that a #PressforProgress towards a more equal society could be made, if only one step at a time.
It takes half an hour to reach my workplace from home. Half an hour to transition from city to the rural outskirts. Half an hour to reach the underbelly. Half an hour to witness groups of girls huddled together hurrying to college, all eyes fixed on the road. Boys of course on bikes, or foot, or some even in SUV's, having sold chunks of agricultural land. Boys, shouting, singing, or at least looking ahead, not counting pebbles on the road.
Each day gets to be a struggle with these kids barely managing to write a legible sentence in Hindi, let alone Freud's theory of personality. Each day, we take rounds of the college lest a girl from a village is caught talking to a boy a form another village. That often leads to fights in the name of the village's honour.
Girls usually sit huddled in a corner, away from the boy. The college is a co-ed only to the extent that we give admission to both genders. After that, genders do not mix. And the rare girls who wear 'urban' clothes are an easy target for the boys' comments and free judgement. The first year girls mostly keep to themselves, rarely sharing a laugh or two. The second year ones have gained a little confidence and hence today they shuffled in to the classroom giggling. When I looked up, a happy chorus rang out.
Some muffled laughter came from the boys' corner who had leisurely strolled in to the classroom a good ten minutes late.
'Do you want to say something?' I tried to suppress the annoyance.
The girls just shook their heads, a resigned smile plastered on their faces.
And then we talked about realities relevant to them – Ghungat, women seeking permission from men, not stepping out, not laying claim on public spaces, and as a boy pointed out, girls in college being mocked for being too chatty, loud or generally laughing too much. It all happened. They justified most of it. Most girls agreed with it all too.
The village has a lady sarpanch. Yet her husband is referred to as the sarpanch. 'She has to keep her face covered, na. So she can not go out and talk to the villagers. Stays indoors. Hence, he is the sarpanch.' Their logic. To hell with the fact that she won an election, and that she is qualified. To hell with a nation gloating about Women feeling more empowered. The girls agreed.
That is my Women's Day for you. A boy, mostly quiet, created a noise today that silenced others. The others that often pick fights in the name of honour, the others that moments earlier were relating a story of a man burning a woman's face with an iron because he suspected her of being promiscuous. The others who laughed when I asked, 'would a man go through the same if found out?' The others were quiet now. Some even showed a glimmer of understanding.
Happy Women's Day, people. Here's to the hope that his classmates too learn to resist, learn to question.

US wants Brexit success to secure trade deals
US national security adviser John Bolton is focused on securing bilateral trade deals with the UK after Brexit.
by Ben Williams
Donald Trump wants Brexit to be a success, with the UK being "first in line" for a trade deal with the US, possibly on a gradual "sector-by-sector" basis, according to his national security adviser.
Speaking following a meeting with Prime Minister Boris Johnson on a visit to London, John Bolton said the US could focus on striking bilateral trade deals in certain sectors like manufacturing and car-making where the two countries may agree, and work out more complicated areas later.
This comes as pollsters say a majority of the British public think Mr Johnson should suspend Parliament in order to push through Brexit.
Mr Bolton said: "The main purpose of the visit really is to convey President Trump's desire to see a successful exit from the European Union for the United Kingdom on October 31, to offer to be of help in any way that we can and to express his hope we can have a fully comprehensive bilateral trade agreement with the United Kingdom as soon as possible."
He added: "To be clear, in the Trump administration, Britain's constantly at the front of the trade queue, or line as we say."
Great discussion today with the UK Prime Minister's Chief Strategic Advisor Sir Edward Lister. The enduring connection between our governments and citizens is the foundation of the Special Relationship.
— John Bolton (@AmbJohnBolton) August 12, 2019
Mr Bolton said the US could do a trade deal with the UK "in pieces" and concentrate on areas, like manufacturing and the car-making industry, they can agree on first.
He said: "You could do it sector by sector, you could do it in a modular fashion in other words. You could carve out some areas where it might be possible to reach a bilateral agreement very quickly, very straightforwardly.

Police launch investigation after footage shows hunt sab trampled by horse
"That would then lock that in and when the other areas that might be more difficult were concluded later, you could combine it in one overall agreement. So the objective is either one document or a series of agreements that would be comprehensive.
"In order to expedite things and enhance the possibility for increasing the trade and investments between the two countries, doing it in a sector-by-sector approach or some other approach that the trade negotiators might agree with, we are open to that."
He added: "The idea of doing it in pieces rather than waiting for the whole thing is not unprecedented. I think here we see the importance and urgency of doing as much as we can agree on as rapidly as possible because of the impending October 31 exit date."
Asked whether piecemeal trade agreements like this are allowed under WTO rules, Mr Bolton said: "Our trade negotiators seem to think it is."
Mr Bolton also attacked the EU and said the UK's decision to leave the EU should be respected.
Mr Bolton said: "The fashion in the European Union when the people vote the wrong way from the way that the elites want to go, is to make the peasants vote again and again until they get it right."
Mr Bolton's remarks come as a new ComRes poll for The Telegraph found 54% of the public agree that Mr Johnson "needs to deliver Brexit by any means, including suspending Parliament if necessary, in order to prevent MPs from stopping it".
Many MPs have expressed outrage at the idea of "proroguing" Parliament in order to avoid a no-deal scenario being halted by the Commons.
The poll of 2,011 British adults also, however, found 51% of respondents agree that "Brexit should be halted if problems over the Northern Ireland border threaten to split the Union".
According to the figures, 88% of respondents feel Parliament is "out of touch" with the British public, and that 89% feel MPs "ignore the wishes of voters and push their own agendas" on Brexit.

trafficking competent and trafficking defective kcnj2 mutations in Andersen Syndrome
Human Mutation, 2006
Co-Authors: Leomar Y. Ballester, Woodrow D Benson, Carlos G. Vanoye, Brenda Wong, Ian H. Law, Katherine D. Mathews, Alfred L George
Mutations in KCNJ2, the gene encoding the human inward rectifier potassium channel Kir2.1, have been identified in Andersen Syndrome (or Andersen-Tawil Syndrome), an inherited disorder characterized by periodic paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias, and dysmorphic features. We identified and characterized two novel KCNJ2 mutations (c.220A>G/p.T74A and c.443G>C/p.G144A) associated with Andersen Syndrome. Heterologous expression of a recombinant wild type human KCNJ2 cDNA (WT-KCNJ2) in HEK-293 cells results in robust inward rectifying currents, but we did not observe measurable currents from cells expressing either mutant. Cells co-transfected with WT-KCNJ2 and either mutant exhibited substantially lower whole-cell current amplitude consistent with a dominant-negative suppression of WT-KCNJ2 by the mutant channels. Both p.T74A and p.G144A exhibit robust plasma membrane expression, but a third previously reported allele (p.C101R) exhibited impaired trafficking. Our results demonstrate functional consequences of two novel trafficking-competent KCNJ2 mutations associated with Andersen Syndrome and expand our knowledge of allelic diversity in this disease.

kcnj2 mutation results in Andersen Syndrome with sex specific cardiac and skeletal muscle phenotypes
American Journal of Human Genetics, 2002
Co-Authors: Gregor Andelfinger, Andrew R Tapper, Richard C Welch, Carlos G. Vanoye, Alfred L George, Woodrow D Benson
Evaluation of candidate loci culminated in the identification of a heterozygous missense mutation (R67W) in KCNJ2, the gene encoding the inward-rectifying potassium current, Kir2.1, in 41 members of a kindred in which ventricular arrhythmias (13 of 16 female members [81%]) and periodic paralysis (10 of 25 male members [40%]) segregated as autosomal dominant traits with sex-specific variable expressivity. Some mutation carriers exhibited dysmorphic features, including hypertelorism, small mandible, syndactyly, clinodactyly, cleft palate, and scoliosis, which, together with cardiodysrhythmic periodic paralysis, have been termed "Andersen Syndrome." However, no individual exhibited all manifestations of Andersen Syndrome, and this diagnosis was not considered in the proband until other family members were examined. Other features seen in this kindred included unilateral dysplastic kidney and cardiovascular malformation (i.e., bicuspid aortic valve, bicuspid aortic valve with coarctation of the aorta, or valvular pulmonary stenosis), which have not been previously associated. Nonspecific electrocardiographic abnormalities were identified in some individuals, but none had a prolonged QT interval. Biophysical characterization of R67W demonstrated loss of function and a dominant-negative effect on Kir2.1 current. These findings support the suggestion that, in addition to its recognized role in function of cardiac and skeletal muscle, KCNJ2 plays an important role in developmental signaling.

Exaggerated Mg2+ inhibition of Kir2.1 as a consequence of reduced PIP2 sensitivity in Andersen Syndrome.
Channels, 2007
Co-Authors: Leomar Y. Ballester, Carlos G. Vanoye, Alfred L George
Andersen Syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by cardiac arrhythmias, periodic paralysis and dysmorphic features. Many Andersen Syndrome cases have been associated with loss-of-function mutations in the inward rectifier K+ channel Kir2.1 encoded by KCNJ2. Using engineered concatenated tetrameric channels we determined the mechanism for dominant loss-of-function associated with a trafficking-competent missense mutation, Kir2.1-T74A. This mutation alters a conserved threonine residue in an N-terminal domain analogous to the slide helix identified in the structure of a bacterial inward rectifier. Incorporation of a single mutant subunit in channel tetramers was sufficient to cause a selective impairment of whole-cell outward current, but no difference in the level of inward current compared with wild-type (WT) tetramers. The presence of two mutant subunits resulted in greatly reduced outward and impaired inward currents. Experiments using excised inside-out membrane patches revealed that …

Marriage is a "covenant or partnership of life between a man and woman, which is ordered to the well-being of the spouses and to the procreation and upbringing of children. When validly contracted between two baptized people, marriage is a sacrament." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1601).
Arrangements for the Sacrament of Marriage are normally commenced by contacting the parish at least 6 months in advance. Couples are asked to participate in a program of Marriage Preparation and will be provided with guidance for preparing their wedding ceremony and contacting parish musicians.
Early planning and working with several of the talented volunteers here in the parish can save you time and literally hundreds of dollars. Weddings in the church are rarely "As Seen On TV" and being aware of the differences is very important to making your sacramental day memorable.
After speaking with the Pastor you may be referred to a Marriage Preparation program. The Northern Deanery weekend normally takes place in April each year. It is strongly recommended that you keep the dates clear and plan to participate. By all reports, this weekend to reflect on the sacrament has helped couples in discerning their call to the vocation of marriage. Information on the weekend and a registration form are available by clicking on the highlighted references or by following the links below.


The current whereabouts of He Jiankui—the scientist who claims to have engineered the world's first genetically modified human babies—is unknown. Rumours are now circulating that he's been detained by the Chinese government.
The last that anyone has seen or heard from He Jiankui was on Wednesday 28 November, after he spoke in Hong Kong at the second International Summit on Human Genome Editing, the South China Morning Post reports.
The scientist is currently mired in an intense controversy after claiming to have produced the world's first gene-edited babies. He said he used the CRISPR gene-editing system to modify the DNA of human embryos, resulting in the birth of twin girls with an alleged immunity to the AIDS virus. Because gene-editing is still in its nascent stage of development, He was criticised for conducting the experiment prematurely and for implanting the modified embryos in the mother's womb. To make matters worse, the clinical trial was done in secret, and He failed to go through the normal channels, among other alleged improprieties.
As reported by Newsweek, the Hong Kong-based publication Apple Daily claims the embattled scientist was summoned back to Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, where he works, at the close of the Hong Kong summit. Also, the university's president, Chen Shiyi, is apparently under house arrest on campus and security guards have been stationed on the university grounds, Apple Daily reports.
The Chinese government has a habit of making people disappear for extended periods of time, the most recent example being Chinese actress Fan Bingbing, who went missing this past July. Fan issued a statement in early October, at which time she was formally charged with tax evasion and other offences. Considered China's highest-paid actress, Fan was ordered to pay 884 million yuan (£102 million) to avoid criminal prosecution. She made her first public appearance in late October after months of detention.
