At the Collings Teen Center, this is the progression we strive for with every young person who walks through our doors. It's actually not that complicated. Everything we do must feed one of these three steps. It becomes the bridge that connects a teen's current circumstances to his or her future potential.
After-school drop-in for any West Sacramento student in 6th-12th grade. CTC invited in more than 300 teenagers in 2013-2014.
Free Late Lunch on the House, every day. During the 2013-2014 school year, the CTC served more than 3,000 free lunches.
Community Service opportunities. CTC staff oversaw more than 500 hours of community service projects during the 2013-2014 school year.
The Collings Teen Center is a key support for foster and group homes, as well as single-parent households that need a safe destination for their teens after school while the parents are at work.

He was by all accounts a great person. Humble right down to the very core. I could go on and on about how incredible he was on the mound pitching for the Miami Marlins, but we all know that was only a small part of his life.
I knew that he defected from Cuba with his mother when he was 15. What I didn't know is that it took four tries and on that fourth attempt someone had fallen over board. He jumped in the ocean saving that person, only to find out that it was his mother.
Just that story alone tells you all you need to know about who Jose Fernandez was.
His personality on and off the field reminded me a lot of Pedro Martinez. He certainly would rub some players the wrong way, but he was coming at it with the best of intentions.
Jose's love for his family and especially when he talked about his grandmother brought tears to my eyes.
Life can seem to be cruel and it can take a long time to heal those wounds. What he has been able to do in such a short amount of time is nothing short of remarkable.
I'm not just talking about the baseball diamond. He had to go through some huge hurdles that most people his age can only imagine.
Seeing his smile was infectious and watching the break on his slider was awe inspiring.
My prayers and condolences for his family and friends who lost a young man that did a lot of good on this Earth.

The Chosen Quiet
Notes on a slow January.
Photo by Ernesta Vala on Unsplash
I've always hated January. It's cold, with none of the charm of Christmas lights and holiday excitement. There no real end in sight to days that range from gray and gloomy to sharp, short, and freezing. And for me, January usually comes with some sort of forced reset — no drinking for the month, eating only whole foods, exercising daily — which certainly feels good in the aggregate, but can also feel an awful lot like deprivation on the daily.
This year, though, feels different. It feels slow and quiet and restorative. It feels like doing the quick work of dismantling an ornate structure, and now carefully and intentionally rebuilding its foundation.
I'm not really socializing this month. I'm working, but only as much as I have to. I'm trying to get up earlier and earlier. I'm moving my body every day. I'm eating whenever I'm hungry, and only eating things that are nourishing in the long-term, not just comforting in the immediate. I'm closing the screen more often, going to bed when I'm tired, sleeping as much as I can, making all my food at home.
It feels, in some ways, like the positive inverse of first few months of the pandemic: A brief period where the whole world feels like it's slowing down.
The difference is that this time it's chosen.
I often fantasize about having a giant pause button that I can hit to make the swirl of life just stop — to pause me at whatever age I'm at, give me space to assess, remove all the demands of work and friends and family and plans and obligations. I sometimes read stories about celebrities who have been hospitalized for exhaustion and I think, "that sounds nice."
But when the giant pause button was actually and improbably hit, I hated it to the point of near breakdown.
I don't know about you, but the pandemic threw me into a spiral of anxiety, angst, and depression. I write for a living, but I had never given much thought to my "creative process" — I just write, it is what I do. But during the pandemic, really for the first time in my life, whole days and weeks and months would go by when all I could think was, "I have nothing to write, and I have nothing to say." The year and a half that Covid kept my world extremely small was the least generative and least creative period of my life.
And ok, I did write a book — I remind myself of that when I wonder why I wasn't as productive as so many other people seemed to be. But other than that, I didn't create much of anything that I was proud of.
But that in and of itself proved to be useful information. Some people are Thoreaus; they create when they're alone and in silence and have long stretches to live as solitary beings in their own minds. And some people need a whole lot of input in order to generate output. I realized that I need people and the energy of a vibrating city — not the same "conversations" with the same handful of people on Twitter, and not even conversations with the close loved ones I talk to every day, but the immeasurable amount of stimulation that comes from simply moving through a large metropolis. I need the street art and the museums, the live music, the shops and bars and restaurants and signs and smells and millions of little things to look at and desire and resent and admire and navigate around. And mostly, I need the people: The knowing glance across a subway car, the casual chat with the bodega guy, the people you see so often you start to think you know them, the people clearly from out of town, the fabulously dressed, the bizarrely dressed, the bizarrely behaved. The drinks with friends, dinners out, meeting new acquaintances, rekindling friendships that have frayed with time, remembering there are always so many more interesting people in the world, so many delicious things to devour, so much life to soak up.
Since getting fully vaccinated and reentering the world, I've been doing a lot of soaking up. While a small handful of my friends appreciated the quiet slow of lockdown, for me, the Covid era felt like stolen time — years I'll never get back, when I got older but couldn't experience much of anything and didn't create much of anything and for the most part just woke up every day feeling old and defeated and listless and resentful. (And still, how lucky, in a pandemic, to get older).
So it's odd, perhaps, to impose that same small, inward-looking way of living now, when I don't have to. But as with so much else, the slow and quiet hits differently when it's entered into by choice instead of force. I've been running myself into the ground, and letting my physical health deteriorate. Again, over the past few months, I've felt like I'm in a creative rut. And so instead of being forced inside, I'm hunkering down in order to rebuild from the group up. I've stripped out drinking, socializing, going out, over-stimulating myself with new people and new places and new things. That will all come back, and soon. But I am hoping I can build the things I love — novelty, experience, soaking in the vitality of pulsating places and the energy of other people — on top of firmer and more fertile ground. From there, I hope, good things can grow.
In one of the Writing Practice emails last week, I asked about productivity: "What does it mean to be productive, to produce?" That word, "productivity," has taken on (pretty well-deserved) negative connotations in progressive Millennial-land, of hustle culture and absurd workplace demands and the billable hour (hello lawyers). But right now, I'm thinking of productivity in terms of fruitfulness and abundance: How can I get my body, mind, and spirit in shape to allow the dreaming-up of projects that feel exciting, and then the carrying-out of the work to midwife them into being? Where do I need loose, dreamy space, and where do I need discipline, ritual, and structure?
Maybe you're two weeks into a failed New Years resolution. Maybe you've already forgotten your intentions or manifestations or goals or hopes or whatever else you pledged to commit to memory or tapped out in your Notes app on the first of the month. Maybe you don't care (good!); maybe you're trapped in a familiar cycle of annual self-loathing. Or maybe you're still riding the high of the New You, in these first few weeks of what you intend to be a whole new way of living.
I'm not sure we ever change wholesale. I've personally never even been that good at changing small habits (I still bite my nails, sorry mom). But we can absolutely change the ways we tend to ourselves.
In these flinty few weeks — what would one call the dog days of winter? — how are you taking care of yourself? As we enter the fourth year of a pandemic, when most of the world has gotten back to semi-normal and yet nothing is at all the same, what have you learned about yourself, your needs, and your impulses? What felt bad when it was forced on you, but might feel good to invite in willingly? What do you want to grow in the future, and how can you create the necessary fertile conditions?
Back to politics tomorrow. Today, I hope you are keeping warm and keeping well.

Jill, thank you for this beautiful piece. It resonated with me deeply. I too am taking this month of quiet and your feelings about the pandemic are very similar to mine. We'll talk. Thank you for sharing.

Q: Strange behavior when sending USSD codes (Android) I have application, which sends some USSD codes. In one type of situation, from user actions with interface, in another - when some SMS (with wildcard) received.
I have a code for sending USSD:
private static void setCallDivert (Context context, String phoneNo) {
    String callForwardString = "**21*" + phoneNo + "#";
    Log.i("Call forward string", callForwardString);

    Intent intentCallForward = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
    intentCallForward.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    Uri uri2 = Uri.fromParts("tel", callForwardString, "#");
    intentCallForward.setData(uri2);
    context.startActivity(intentCallForward);
    divertDbRecord (context, true, phoneNo);
}

When it called from button onClick method, it working okay.
When it called from SMS Handler, message "Call forwarding Connection problem or invalid MMI code" appear.
In logcat, I can see a request. It is a same, in both situations.
Of course, I testing it on real Android phone, not on emulator.
Maybe, someone can help me?

A: You need to encode your Uri hash
public static final String encodedHash = Uri.encode("#");

This allows the dialler to interpret the # value correctly

Fake memoirs
Title: Fake memoirs
Subject: Hoax, Diary
Collection: Literary Forgeries, Literary Hoaxes
Fake memoirs form a category of autobiography, memoir or journal of an individual is presented as fact. In some cases, the purported author of the work is also a fabrication. In recent years, there have been a number of such memoirs published by major publishers, some that were well received critically and became best sellers, even though subsequently proven to be partially or completely fabricated. A number of recent fake memoirs fall into the category of "misery lit," where the authors claim to have overcome bereavement, abuse, addiction, poverty and other overwhelming losses. Several more have detailed fabricated stories of Holocaust survival, with at least one having been penned by an actual Holocaust victim.
As a result of the recent series of best selling memoirs having been outed for falsification, there have been calls for stronger vetting and fact checking of an author's material.[1]

List of fake memoirs and journals 2
Public reception
A number of fake memoirs in recent years have been published by renowned publishing houses and received critical acclaim only to be exposed as partial or complete fabrications. Fragments: Memories of a Wartime Childhood (Binjamin Wilkomirski), The Blood Runs Like a River Through My Dreams (Nasdijj),[2] Love and Consequences (Margaret Seltzer),[3] and Go Ask Alice (Anonymous)[4] garnered praise from the New York Times prior to being exposed as mendacious. Love and Consequences (Margaret Seltzer), Angel at the Fence (Herman Rosenblat) and Odd Man Out (Matt McCarthy) were published (excepting Angel at the Fence, which had its release cancelled) by Penguin Group USA. A Million Little Pieces was published by Random House.
As well, two of the mentioned authors, James Frey (A Million Little Pieces), and Herman Rosenblat (who was featured prior to writing Angel at the Fence), with the addition of an imposter assuming the name Anthony Godby Johnson (A Rock and a Hard Place), appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show. All eventually had their mendacity made public with Mr. Rosenblat suffering the cancellation of his book's release. Frey, accompanied by his editor Nan Talese, was confronted by Oprah during a follow-up episode.[5] The dust-up over falsified memoirs inspired Andrea Troy to pen her satiric novel, Daddy – An Absolutely Authentic Fake Memoir.
List of fake memoirs and journals
Matt McCarthy, Odd Man Out: A Year on the Mound with a Minor League Misfit Viking (a division of Penguin Group USA) (February 2009) is a memoir describing McCarthy's summer as a minor league pitcher. He writes about playing with racist teammates who take steroids; however, statistics from that season, combined with transaction listings and interviews with former teammates, suggest that much of the book is false. Prior to having its authenticity challenged, the book was promoted by Sports Illustrated. Carolyn Coleburn, the publisher's vice president and director of publicity said, "We rely on our authors to tell the truth and fact-check."[6]
Herman Rosenblat, Angel at the Fence: The True Story of a Love That Survived (February 2009, cancelled), is a Holocaust memoir in which the author invented the story that, while he was imprisoned in the Buchenwald concentration camp, a young girl from the outside would pass him food through the fence daily and years later they accidentally met and married. Rosenblat appeared twice on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Prior to the book's announced publication, Winfrey called the story "the single greatest love story, in 22 years of doing this show, we've ever told on the air." The book was scheduled for publication in February 2009 by Berkley Books, a division of Penguin Group USA, but has been cancelled. Although the author fabricated details about how he met his wife, he is an authentic holocaust survivor.[7]
Margaret Seltzer (pseud. Margaret B. Jones), Love and Consequences, Riverhead Books (a division of Penguin Group USA) (2008), a critically received memoir of a girl, part white and part native American, growing up in South-Central Los Angeles as a foster child in a world of drug dealers and gang members. In fact, the work was completely fabricated.[8] Prior to being exposed as fabricated, the book was praised as "humane and deeply affecting" by Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times.[3]
JT LeRoy (pseud. Laura Victoria Albert) published a number of fabricated writings (c. 2005) in which LeRoy was presented as a transgender, sexually questioning, abused, former homeless teenage drug addict and male prostitute.
W.'s delusion and denial, to see the Empress of Empathy icily hold someone accountable for lying,"[10] and the Washington Post's Richard Cohen was so impressed by the confrontation that he crowned Winfrey "Mensch of the Year."[11]
Norma Khouri, Forbidden Love (also published as Honor Lost in the United States), Bantam Books, Australia (2003); Doubleday, New York (2003), is the supposed story of her best friend in Jordan, Dalia, who fell in love with a Christian soldier. Dalia's Muslim father was not told of the relationship, and when he eventually discovered it, he stabbed Dalia to death in a so-called honor killing.
Michael Gambino (actually Michael Pelligrino) wrote The Honored Society, Simon & Schuster (2001). The book, supposedly by the grandson of Mafioso Carlo Gambino, described his life as a gangster, including spending 12 years in prison for bribery, gambling, extortion, kidnapping, money laundering, murder and pimping. Carlo Gambino's real son, Thomas Gambino, exposed the fraud, and the publisher withdrew the book.
Nasdijj (pseud. Timothy Patrick "Tim" Barrus), wrote The Blood Runs Like a River Through My Dreams, Houghton Mifflin (2000), The Boy and the Dog Are Sleeping (2003), and Geronimo's Bones: A Memoir of My Brother and Me (2004). These works recounted various aspects of the author's supposed life, including his Navajo heritage, his self-destructive and abusive parents, his unhappy childhood as a migrant worker, his dysfunctional relationships with other family members, and, eventually, his growing up to become the nurturing father of first an adopted child with fetal alcohol syndrome and then one who is HIV-positive. Prior to being exposed as fabricated, The Blood Runs Like a River Through My Dreams was a New York Times Notable Book, a finalist for the PEN/Martha Albrand Award, and winner of the Salon Book Award. It was described by Esquire as an "authentic, important book...Unfailingly honest and very nearly perfect."[2]
Misha Defonseca (real name: Monique de Wael), Misha: A Mémoire of the Holocaust Years, Mt. Ivy Press (1997), a fabricated memoir of a supposed Holocaust survivor who walked 1,900 miles across Europe searching for her parents, killed a German officer in self-defense and lived with a pack of wolves. The work was a best seller, translated into 18 languages and was made into a movie.[12]
Binjamin Wilkomirski, Fragments, Shocken Books (US edition, 1996), an acclaimed but fabricated Holocaust memoir.[13] Prior to being exposed as fabricated, The New York Times called the book "stunning," the Los Angeles Times described it as a "classic first-hand account of the Holocaust", it received the 1996 National Jewish Book Award for Autobiography and Memoir, in Britain it received the Jewish Quarterly Literary Prize, and in France it was awarded the Prix Memoire de la Shoah.[14][15]
Helen Demidenko (pseud. Helen Dale), wrote The Hand That Signed the Paper, Allen & Unwin, Australia (1994). Presented as a supposedly autobiographical story of a student's discovery of her family's bleak wartime history as peasants in Ukraine under Stalinism and their "liberation" by the Nazi invasion. The book won a number of awards.
Anthony Godby Johnson wrote A Rock and a Hard Place: One Boy's Triumphant Story, Crown Books, New York; Little Brown, London (1993), a story of a young boy, sexually abused by his parents and later adopted, who discovers he is HIV-positive and who develops AIDS. This book has been challenged on a number of accounts and has been alleged to be the fictional product of Vicki Johnson, also known as Vicki Fraginals Zackheim. "Tony," the subject of the book, made an "appearance" on the Oprah Winfrey Show, interviewed with his face obscured.[16]
Harper Collins, New York (1994). The book claimed to be a memoir of her time spent with Aboriginals. The book has caused protests by Aboriginal groups. Parts of it have been asserted to be invented, and the publisher has reissued it labeled as fiction.[17][18]
Lauren Stratford (actually Laurel Rose Willson) wrote Satan's Underground, Harvest House, Oregon (1988), purporting to tell a true story of her upbringing in a Satanic cult, but later branded as fabricated. She later assumed the guise of a Holocaust survivor and adopted the alias of Laura Grabowski.

David Rorvik wrote In his Image: the Cloning of a Man, J. B. Lippincott, Philadelphia and New York (1978),[19] in which he claimed to have been part of a successful endeavor to create a clone of a human being. A court, in a defamation suit found the book was a hoax which the publisher subsequently acknowledged, but Rorvik continues to maintain it is truthful.[20]

Anonymous (actually Beatrice Sparks), Go Ask Alice, Prentice-Hall (1971), purportedly the diary of an anonymous teenage girl who died of a drug overdose in the late 1960s. Sparks is known for producing a number of books purporting to be the "real diaries" of troubled teenagers.[22] Prior to the book's authenticity being challenged, The New York Times praised it as an "extraordinary work for teenagers" and "a document of horrifying reality and literary quality".[4]
Carlos Castaneda wrote a series of books that describe his training in traditional Mesoamerican shamanism, starting with The Teachings of Don Juan, University of California Press (1968). His 12 books have sold more than 8 million copies in 17 languages. It is disputed whether his stories are truthful or fabricated.
Friedrich Nietzsche My Sister and I (1951). Supposedly written in 1889 or early 1890 during Nietzsche's stay in a mental asylum, this fictitious biography makes several bold and otherwise unreported claims, most notably of an incestuous relationship between Nietzsche and his sister.
John Knyveton The Diary of a Surgeon in the Year 1751-1752, edited and transcribed by Ernest Gray, New York, D. Appleton-Century (1938).

These three diaries were well received when published but doubts were later raised about their authenticiy. They are now known to be fictitious, written by Ernest Gray and loosely based on a short biography of Dr Thomas Denman, 1733-1815. [23][24][25]
Joan Lowell's Cradle of the Deep (1929), published by Simon & Schuster. Lowell claimed that, before she was even a year old, her sea captain father took her away from her ailing mother to live on the Minnie A. Caine, a trading ship. She lived on the ship, with its all male crew, until she was 17. The book ends with the ship burning and sinking off Australia, and with Lowell swimming three miles to safety, with a family of kittens clinging by their claws to her back. In fact, Lowell had been on the ship, which remained safe in California, for only 15 months. The book was a sensational best seller until it was exposed as a pure invention.[26]
Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance (actually Sylvester Clark Long) wrote an autobiography entitled Long Lance (1928), published by Cosmopolitan Book Company, in which he claimed to have been born a Blackfoot, son of a chief, in Montana's Sweetgrass Hills, was wounded eight times in World War I and promoted to the rank of captain. In fact, the story was fabricated and Lance was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Written by Himself, T.K. and P.G. Collins, Philadelphia (1836). Supposedly Crockett's journal taken at the Alamo by Mexican General Castrillón and then recovered at the Battle of San Jacinto, but in fact written by Richard Penn Smith and Charles T.

Seattle metro area is one of just three in America where marijuana use tops nicotine, data shows
Dec. 2, 2019 at 6:00 am Updated Dec. 2, 2019 at 1:59 pm
About 17% of the adult population of the Seattle-Tacoma metro area have used cannabis products in the last 30 days, compared with about 16% who have used nicotine products.(Erika Schultz / The Seattle Times)
Gene Balk / FYI Guy
As more states legalize marijuana, the number of adult consumers has been on the rise. But there are only three major metro areas where cannabis is more popular than cigarettes and other products containing nicotine, according to new market-research data.
And — you guessed it — Seattle is one of them.
More than 700,000 people age 18 and older in the Seattle-Tacoma area — about 17% of the adult population — have consumed cannabis in the past 30 days, according to the data from the market-research firm Nielsen. That's the fourth highest consumption among 70 large metro areas, behind Portland, Las Vegas and Denver. And it edges out the use of nicotine products, including cigarettes other tobacco products and e-cigarettes. Combined, they were consumed by about 16% of adults in our metro area.
The other two metros where cannabis is more popular than nicotine are probably not much of a surprise: San Francisco and Portland.
What these areas have in common is, when compared to the national average, a high percentage of cannabis consumers and a low percentage of nicotine consumers. Portland has the nation's highest share of adult cannabis consumers, at 20% — that's about 1 percentage point higher than nicotine consumers.
What about other areas where marijuana is very popular, like Denver? About 18% in the Mile High City say they've consumed cannabis in the past 30 days, which is just a tad lower than the 19% for cigarettes and other nicotine products. In Las Vegas, 18% consumed cannabis compared with 23% who consumed nicotine.
Nielsen surveyed more than 200,000 adults nationally, including about 4,000 in the Seattle-Tacoma area from January 2018 to May 2019. The survey does not ask people if they acquired the cannabis product through the legal sector or through the black market.
California became the first state to legalize the medical use of marijuana in 1996. In 2012, Washington and Colorado became the first to legalize recreational use. Nine more states (plus the District of Columbia) have since legalized recreational use: Alaska, California, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon and Vermont. Another 22 states have legalized cannabis for medical use only. Polling shows a clear majority of Americans support legal marijuana.
As you'd probably expect, the highest use of cannabis is in metro areas that, like Seattle, are located in states that have adopted the most expansive legalization laws. The Albuquerque-Santa Fe area has the highest share of cannabis consumers in a metro where recreational use is prohibited by state law. At 14% of the adult population, it ranks 8th among the 70 metro areas, and higher than some where recreational use is allowed, including Spokane (12%).
The market research shows that adults in the Seattle area who consume cannabis have a median household income of about $78,000, significantly higher than e-cigarettes vapers ($67,000) and those who smoke cigarettes or use other tobacco products ($59,000). Cannabis consumers are also a lot more likely to be college graduates than the other two groups.
Seattle cannabis consumers have a median age of 40, somewhat younger than tobacco users (44 years). But e-cigarettes appeal to the youngest demographic, with a median age of just 31. E-cigarettes, which are used for vaping, contain nicotine but no tobacco.
Men are a little more likely than women to consume either cannabis or nicotine products, though vaping comes closest to gender parity.
Slightly more than one quarter of cannabis consumers in the Seattle area are people of color, compared with 30% of tobacco consumers. E-cigarette consumers are far more diverse — 41% of adults who vape are people of color.
Unsurprisingly, when it comes to mood-altering substances, neither cannabis nor nicotine can touch alcohol in popularity.
The research shows nearly half (48%) of adults in the Seattle area ingested some type of alcohol — and that's just within the past seven days.

I came across this dump truck on my walk this morning with Langley. At first I thought it was just parked in the empty lot waiting for the construction workers to descend upon the vacant space to begin constructing a new home. But when I looked closer, I saw the broken windshield and the bullet hole (?) by the driver's side as though someone was taking target practice at the vehicle. And of course there were the trees growing out of the bed of the truck, a sure giveaway that this truck had seen better days.
But my curiosity was stirred up the rest of the morning and I wondered how it got to that field, who would leave an old dump truck there. I mean, surely a neighbor would've noticed a truck this size just sitting there day after day with nobody coming to claim it and perhaps had called it in?
I mean, how can you not notice something this size?
But the stories I bet it could tell . . . .

And while the Kaiju and Jaegers were definitely the main event, all the characters that controlled them were different enough to be typed on their own, leaving only the "main events" to be untyped.
His Fi is definitely his driving point. He's an "in-the-moment" type like all Artisans but not in the way ESFP and ESTP are as they can appear overwhelming. ISTP is out because his enthusiasm for bringing Mako in as his partner doesn't fit with ISTP's Fe last.
But Raleigh's auxiliary Se would also make him a great candidate as a Jaeger pilot as ability to see the environment for exactly what it is would be extremely useful. He's also quite passive in the face of being bullied and is unpredictable while fighting- Te last means going by the book almost as a last resort.
Pentecost's position seems more fitting for that of a Guardian type but his methods are entirely Artisan. The Crafter variety, more specifically. Keep in mind that we're seeing events that take place several years after the first Kaiju attacks and things have changed. In an other movie, we would've seen Pentecost in his prime, battling the Kaiju in his own Jaeger. Here, we get a couple flashbacks.
In his higher position, we still see Pentecost breaking the rules all in the name of getting things done; a predominantly ISTP trait to go around those that hold you back so as to complete the objective. He's also extremely protective of Mako, which is not an ISTP trait alone (obviously) but to only have a certain few in your circle to treat that way is.
It's clear Introverted Sensing is her dominant function as she's not only respectable and serving, but being raised by Pentecost has given her the time and opportunity to hone her skill into being a great fighter.
Not only that, but her attention to detail in watching and studying Raleigh's fighting techniques as well as telling him he's not right for the job, an ISFJ trait of unexpectedly giving the truth from time to time. Her first experience in the Jaeger displays her Si first and Fe second as her memories resurface and the floodgates were opened. Her strong ties to the past and how frightening the Kaiju were at one point is too much for her to handle the first time through.
With auxiliary Si, we've got one self-assured pilot that isn't going to listen to what hasn't been proven and the only thing Raleigh's proven to him is that he doesn't listen to rules and has had a partner killed before. It doesn't help things when Mako, the new kid, teams up with Raleigh. Te is confrontational and argumentative, defining traits of Hansen. Another thing is that while being the jerk that he is, he's still good at what he does. So as much as you may dislike him, you can't deny his abilities.
Extroverted Intuition first will not only have the user appear overly energetic but also prone to wild ideas that seem too crazy to work. Newt's theories appear too dangerous and unstable to his listeners but believing in it enough, he goes through with it still. ENTPs have a way of excitedly getting into the start-up process of an idea but not thinking through all the details; a strength that can be a weakness.
Newt is told "hacking" into the Kaiju brain would be too much for a human and wouldn't work so he tests it on himself. He was that much more sure of doing it when he was told that it would never work, an ENTP trademark of taking on the tasks people say can't be done.
The perfect foil to Newt's over-the-top, possibilities-are-everywhere attitude, Gottlieb is rigid, annoyed, and works with what's proven…yet he's still partners with Newt which should tell you he's got screws loose too. Gottlieb's Ni comes into play by going along with Newt's method of Kaiju brain hacking- if it works, that would give humanity an edge over the Kaiju they haven't had before. Skeptical at first, like all INTJs, but is willing to go the dangerous route once he sees it as viable.
His skepticism resembles the INTJ method of picking something apart entirely until they find something that works, if there's anything to be found at all, while he eventually gives in and fries his brain too. In the name of science! An INTP may have bought into Newt's ideas before Newt had but the INTJ resists until good enough reason is given.
Chau's car salesmen persona could only have one type attached to it. Going around, collecting bits of the Kaiju with his team after having made a deal with Pentecost; his professions, attitude…and style ("Where's my g**d*** shoe?!) all point to ESTP's Se first and it's need to "go go go" backed by Ti and it's ability to rationalize what it's doing. Kaiju popping up everywhere and their dead bodies smelling up entire cities? Let's use their body parts as resources!
Chau's interaction with Newt also shows a humorous interaction of ENTP/ESTP. Both have similar mindsets while one is more about immediate gratification (selling bodies, making money) and the other is a bit bigger on scale while some would find just as strange (hack a brain, save the world or kill yourself).

It's been just about six months since Angeline began her Invisalign Teen treatment. I wish that I could say that it's been smooth sailing for the last six months, but if you've been following along with us on our journey, you know that's not the case!
Invisalign really is the clear alternative to braces!
In our experience, the Invisalign Teen aligners are virtually invisible. Even after six months, I still have to ask Angeline if she's wearing them because I can't see them – and I've had Lasik eye surgery and have perfect 20/20 vision.
Invisalign treats a much wider range of dental problems that most people know.
A friend of mine recently posted on Facebook that adults should not get Invisalign if they need teeth brought down, as Invisalign could not do it and that only traditional braces would be able to fix those dental issues. I was so happy to be able to step in and explain to her that yes, Invisalign CAN move teeth, including bringing them down and up. That is actually one of the things that Angeline is having done in her Invisalign treatment!
Her two front teeth were uneven and had what our orthodontist refers to as a "black triangle," which is a small gap between her teeth. He shaved in between the teeth a little on her first appointment to give them room to meet up, and included in her Invisalign treatment plan was bringing them closer together and bringing them up to make them even. As you can see, even after just six months, it's already almost completed!
Invisalign Teen Treatment Plans offers replacement aligners at no charge!
That's right, if your teen loses their Invisalign aligners – like Angeline did on the way to Barcelona this summer – you can receive up to six replacement aligners at no additional cost! I love that this is built right into the cost of these invisible braces. Many say that Invisalign is much more expensive than traditional braces but they really aren't that much more expensive. In fact, if your dental insurance covers braces, it will also cover Invisalign treatment. You can find out more about dental insurance options for Invisalign here.
While it's embarrassing to admit to your orthodontist that you lost a pair, don't worry, they've probably heard it all before!
You will receive a container to put your Invisalign aligners in while you're eating, just make sure to actually use them! Angeline lost hers because she forgot her container in her suitcase and we were eating lunch at the airport after we had already checked our bags. She put them in her napkin…and of course, we threw the tray away with the napkin sitting right on it!
There are NO forbidden foods with Invisalign!
That's right, you (or your teen, whomever is getting treatment!) can eat whatever you want when you are undergoing Invisalign treatment. I think that might be one of the best advantages that Invisalign has compares to braces! Because you don't have to worry about the wire and brackets that come with traditional braces, there really aren't any forbidden foods. All you have to do is remove your Invisalign aligners before eating and brush your teeth before putting them back in. It's that simple!
Angeline loves cheese fries and makes them for herself for lunch quite often after school. We both love that she can still enjoy her favorite foods while going through Invisalign treatment!
Is Invisalign an Option for You?
There are so many advantages of Invisalign treatment over traditional braces, and while we've only been in the program for six months, I already know that this was the right option for us. If you've been thinking about getting braces for yourself or your teen, you can check out the Invisalign Smile Assessment to see if Invisalign is an option for you!
While you can certainly visit your dentist for a recommendation for Invisalign, I personally recommend using the Invisalign Doctor Locator tool to find a preferred Invisalign provider. Many dentists aren't even licensed to use the Invisalign product, and may not divulge that information to you, or may not understand how far Invisalign technology has come in the past few years – like my friend who wasn't aware of the wide variety of dental problems that Invisalign can treat! Using the Invisalign Doctor Locator ensures that you are making an appointment with an orthodontist who is up to date on the technology and knows what they are doing!
If you have any questions about Invisalign, or Angeline's treatment, I'd love to help! Drop me a line in the comments below!
My pre-teen will probably need braces and I'll be considering these for her!
Wow her teeth are looking great!! I should really look into these for myself. I've had braces twice already, but my teeth go back to where they were. Sigh!
They look great! Hubs and I both have had shifting occur due to pressure from our wisdom teeth. I'd like to get them straightened back out now that our wisdom teeth are gone!
I didn't realize you could still enjoy those forbidden treats with Invisalign. That really is a nice perk! I wish it would work for me but I guess my case is a little too severe. Poo!
Her smile looks fabulous! Good for you for putting a stop to those Invisalign myths. Some people think that they wouldn't qualify for them when they actually would.
Her smile looks great. I so would love to try Invisalign!
She is a lovely girl and those choppers are looking great!
I am glad to read this is going so well. I have seriously been considering Invisalign for myself.
My daughter will need braces. This may be an option for her.
I can tell a difference. I would love to get these for myself. I can't imagine my 13 year old would have done good with them he would never keep them in LOL.
Wow, her smile is amazing. I can really tell a difference.
Your daughter is just gorgeous and she has a beautiful smile!
I am definitely getting Invisalign at some point! I don't have dental insurance, so I'm not sure when, but I've wanted it for years & years & years.
I can't get over how far braces have come. She looks great!
First, your daughter is gorgeous. Second, I'm glad to hear Invisalign is working for her!
I love reading her journey. This is something I am going to look into for my son.
Invisialign is an effective treatment for straight teeth. It is a much better alternative to traditional braces.

"Teoria zgody" okiem prawnika - Wystap.pl - jak wystąpić z Kościoła katolickiego. Centrum informacji i platforma batalii.
Dla prawa do wystąpienia z kościołów w kontekście wolności religijnej kluczowa jest "teoria zgody". Poniżej argumenty za jej przyjęciem przedstawione przez amerykańskiego prawnika. Według niego jest to nie uszczuplenie lecz wzmocnienie wolności kościołów ponieważ to na występującym ciąży obowiązek wykazania, że wycofał swoją zgodę na podleganie jurysdykcji kościoła. Pokazuje także, że prawo do wystąpienia z kościoła w prawie amerykańskim miało początek w sporach o nieruchomości. Następnie zostało rozszerzone na prawo do prywatności i dobrego imienia a przełomem była sprawa Marion Guinn. Jest to tak mistrzowski cios w pretensje kościołów do własnych zasad ekskomunikowania, że najważniejsze fragmenty (bez odnośników) podaję poniżej. Cała reszta jest w załączonym artykule.
Before shifting the burden of proving lack of consent, courts should require the religious defendant to show that the plaintiff was a member of the church, and that the tort was religiously motivated. Unless the plaintiff is a church member – or was a member when the tort occurred – no justification for presuming voluntariness arises. And unless the tort is religiously motivated, constitutional protection is unwarranted.
The standard should not apply to nonmembers unless their cause of action is derivative. Nonmember parents, for example, probably do not consent to the alienation of their child's affection by a religious group. However, the standard might bar parents' recovery in a case like Nally v. Grace Community Church, if the son validly consented to his pastors' counseling practices. There the parents sued for the intentional infliction of emotional distress on their decedent son. They should not recover for their son's injuries if his membership implied consent to the injurious conduct.
The consent-based standard also should not apply to tortious acts committed by a religious group after a member withdraws from the group. Courts routinely hold that members of religious groups may terminate their membership. Termination is the logical point at which individuals withdraw consent to religious activity.
harsh results, particularly in a society in which religious membership is often halfhearted or traditional. But large, traditional churches that tolerate equivocal membership arguably are less likely to engage in tortuous religious conduct than churches which demand total commitment from their members. More importantly, courts have always assumed that religious membership is an affirmative act of self-determination.
The strength of the proposed standard is that it increases protection for the religion clauses without unfairly burdening deserving plaintiffs. Presuming consent by church members merely acknowledges that religious membership is an affirmative decision, a choice that must, because of its consensual nature and the respect demanded by the Constitution, carry important implications. By impressing potential converts with the significance of religious membership, the standard may lead to more thoughtful choices and fewer tragic incidences of religious disillusionment and injury. Even if it does not, providing financial recovery to protect individuals who wilfully fail to protect themselves is hardly a compelling government interest "of the highest order" as is required to impinge on religious freedom. The Bible requires believers to carefully "count the cost" of discipleship. This admonition makes sense not only for the religious, but for the caretakers of the Constitution as well.

CZ: Liberec - Vienna Of The North
Let's visit Liberec, one of most industrial centres of the Czech Republic!
The town of Liberec (Reichenberg in German language) is placed in North Bohemia, inside valley between Jizerské Mountains and Ještěd Mountain Range. It is located on surface of 106 square kilometres, and is inhabitated with 106 000 persons. Nisa-river, which springs in Jizerské Mountains, flows through this basin, forming later border river among Czech Republic, Germany and Poland. Ještěd Mountain (1012 m) forms main symbol of Liberec, statutory town, a centre of Liberec Region.
The first written notice of Liberec is dated to 1352, when small community of Reichenberg was established along merchant way from Bohemia to Lusatia, which served as relax locality for merchants, after long and difficult way across Ještěd Mountain Range. Later, within 15th and 16th centuries, the community was enlarged subsequently. It was a merit of aristocracy Redern Parentage, owner of Friedland as well as Liberec dominion. So, the town obtained the right to brew the beer and organize the markets. In 1577, the Emperor Rudolph II. granted the town the escutcheon,which is used till now. At that time period, the first town buildings were created, stipulating in such way its characteristic face. At the same time, the textile production, such as drapery and linen-draperies were established there. Liberec New Town was founded during Albrecht of Wallenstei period, the next owner of Liberec Dominion.
In the second half of 18th century, new buildings, constructed in brick, in Neo-classical style, were created. Finally, within 19th century, the locality noted great swing of textile industry as well as industrial architecture. So, Liberec became the second greatest town of Bohemia (after Prague). Except very developped industrial branch of textile industry (50 factories), and metallurgical industry (60 factories), the manufacturing of RAF motor vehicles was introduced. In the course of this time period, many important and representative buildings were constructed in city centre, symbolizing the wealthy as well as the economical and cultural development of the town, such as: Town´s Theatre (1893 - now F. X. Šalda Theatre), savings-bank building, museums-buildings and Chamber of Commerce (1901-1902), villa-quarter (break of 19th and 20th centuries). So, Liberec was often characterized as "Bohemian Manchester" of "Vienna of the North".
At the beginning of 20th century, total reconstruction of city centre was effected. At that time, many public buildings were built, including infrastructure, necessary for tourists´activities (look out towers, cottages, tourist paths, etc.). However, this prospective development was cut and stopped by the 1st World War. Later, the 2nd World War meant great slow down of development and prosperity of the town. Moreover, after a War, all German inhabitants of Liberec were forced to leave the area for Germany. Apart of this, the era of Communist totality was time period of stagnation.
After Velver Revolution in 1989, the town got "the second breath" and continued in its development, terminated before the 1st World War. So, complete reconstruction of historical city nucleus was effected and new pubic buildings, including infrastructure, were created.
At present, Liberec is a modern town, offering many sightseeing to the visitors.The town could be proud on ZOO-garden, botanical garden. If you prefer so culture events, you can visit, for instance Naive Theatre (its tradition refers to 1949) or F. X. Šalda Theatre. Nevertheless, local House of Culture gives greater diversity of cultural events. Even Babylon Centre could offer interesting entertainment events, such as: laser games, bowling, aquapark and other leasure time activities.
As far as sports and games are concerned, Liberec offers beach-volleyball area, lawn-tennis courts, baseball playgrounds, golf playgrounds, mountaineering walls, etc.
Liberec Sightseeings
Ještěd Tower was constructed in 1973, according to project of architect K. Hubáček. He was awarded with Perret Price for this work. The tower has a form of rotary hyperboloid. Now, you can find inside hotel, restaurant and connecting centre.
Dam on Harcov Torrent was constructed within 1902-1904, after big inundation in 1897, according to project of Professor Intz of Aix-la Chapelle (Germany). This dam was the first built in brick dam pier in Europe. This construction belongs to interesting technical sightseeings from secession time period. The construction is 20,5 metres high (including ground), and is 157 metres long.
Liebig Villa was constructed in 1897 as family seat of Baron Theodor von Liebig, owner of textile factory. The building presents carpentered house in romantical style, including bay-window at the corner, enlarged with a castle and four-side tower. In 1904, the third part, including secession elements, was added.
God´s Heart Jesus Christ Church was built within 1894-1896, according to suggestions of architect A. Burger. It is simple one-navy church of Neo-Gothic style. As interior dominanta, it is an altar with a statue of Lord´s Jesus Heart, created in Munich (Germany). Later, a school building and lodging houses for Order sisters were built. At present, the spaces serve as a policlinic and a chemistry.
Original Jewish Synagogue was constructed within 1887-1889, according to project of architect K.Konig from Vienna, in Neo-Renaissance style. However, in 1938, during so called "Cristall Night", the building was completely destroyed by Nazis. Now, new synagogue was built on the original place, forming a face of half of Davide Star, with a covering, symbolizing Moaning Wall in Jerusalem.
So called Wallenstein Houses belong to most preserved houses in Liberec, coming from 1678 - 1681. They were built several years after Albrecht of Wallenstein´s death. The houses served originally as a shelter for handicraftsmen and drapers, later, Christmas Markets were organized there. However, in the course of the time, these houses fell to decay, and there was a need to reconstruct it or to demolish it. Nevertheless, thanks to efforts of students and professors of Liberec Industrial School, very complicated reconstruction was made, and so, the monument was preserved.
Šolc House was built in 1771 by Frederick Šolc, linen merchant. It is wooden and carpentered one-floor house, especially rising after effected park arrangement. In past, Liberec was an important centre of textile production, and textile manufacturers built their houses, including water supply, necessary for production. At present, the house is a seat of Protected Countryside Area Administration of Jizerské Mountains.
