Are Cancer Tweets The Same As Funeral Selfies?
By Lindsay Beyerstein

Lisa Bonchek Adams blogs and Tweets about the nitty gritty details of life with Stage IV breast cancer, and Emma Keller thinks that's incredibly tacky. In a piece last week for the Guardian, Keller implied that Adams' Tweeting is worse than a "funeral selfie," which is blueblood code for the tackiest thing one could possibly do.
A funeral selfie is social death, which as we all know, counts far more than physical death in the eyes of the people who matter. These are the people who refer to cancer as "the Big C" and dread colonoscopies because it's awkward to let a golfing buddy put a camera up one's derriere, even if he did go to Harvard Medical School.
The term "funeral selfie" entered the language last month when the shapers of elite opinion decided that President Obama had disgraced the nation by posing for a selfie at a memorial service for Nelson Mandela. You might wonder why we should expect the president to act distraught at a gathering to celebrate the life of a 95-year-old man who ended apartheid and died peacefully as the beloved father of his nation. You might think it it ironic that everyone must be solemn at a memorial for a man remembered for not only for his statesmanship but also for his playful sense of humor and his delight in the company of friends. You'd be missing the point. There's exactly one right way to behave at a memorial service, and the Kellers of the world will tell you what it is.
There's one right way to have breast cancer, too. Keller is too polite to come right out and tell a dying woman to knock it off, so she offers a series of rhetorical questions in the hopes of sparking some residual sense of decency in this neoplastic hussy: "Should there be boundaries in this kind of experience? Is there such a thing as TMI? Are her tweets a grim equivalent of deathbed selfies, one step further than funeral selfies?"
Unaccountably, Emma Keller got a lot of pushback for this tactful corrective. Her column was widely seen as callous to the point of being grotesque. So, her husband, Bill Keller of the New York Times stepped up to reclaim the moral high ground.
In Keller's view, the real problem with Lisa Adams is that she's sucking up scarce resources while giving false hope to all the people reading about her excruciating physical decline from a disease that doctors have so far been powerless to contain.
Bill wonders if Adams is running up an excessive Caring Canines puppy bill at Sloan-Kettering. His keen journalistic instincts register that Adams has a suspiciously cozy relationship with the world-famous New York cancer hospital wherein she has cancer and they treat it.
Keller cites his father-in-law's low-key death in hospice to illustrate how Our Kind of People expire, namely, without heroic measures or social media. You heard him, cancer sufferers: put down the cell phones, drop the pricey puppies, and die like an elderly British peer. Who cares if you're a woman in her forties with three children? Who cares about your prognosis? Who cares what you want? That's how it's done.

Stand in solidarity with sharks
by Bradnee Chambers
SAN JOSE – It has long been said that we know more about the moon than we do about the oceans. After all, 12 people have walked on the surface of the moon but only three have been to the deepest part of the sea. But it now seems that we know even less about the oceans than we thought — and we may well have been doing even more damage than we realized.
A recent study found that fishing catches have been substantially underestimated for years. This should grab the attention of both regional fisheries management organizations, which oversee commercial fishing in the high seas, and those monitoring compliance with the United Nations Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS), which covers endangered migratory species.
According to the CMS, the species demanding the strictest protection today — listed in Appendix I — include great white sharks, five species of sawfish, and 11 species of ray. The CMS meetings on migratory sharks, set to take place this month in Costa Rican capital of San Jose, represent an important opportunity for advancing regulations to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of these species, so that they can continue to fulfill their critical ecological role as apex predators.
At their last conference, held in Quito, Ecuador, in 2014, the CMS parties added several shark species, the protection of which governments are encouraged to secure through the negotiation of international agreements. One such agreement, reached in 2010 and so far signed by 39 parties, is the Memorandum of Understanding on the Conservation of Migratory Sharks. Despite being legally nonbinding, the initiative provides an important forum to reach agreement on policies ensuring that any exploitation of migratory shark populations is sustainable.
But, as the recent study on fishing catches underscores, we often lack the accurate data needed to determine what level of consumption is sustainable. Without it, the precautionary principle — if in doubt, don't do it — should be applied. The problem is that the absence of reliable data can make the need to protect a species seem more abstract and less urgent, weakening governments' capacity to resist other, more immediate demands, especially the need to protect relevant livelihoods.
In the meantime, consumption of the oceans' resources continues to surge. Over the last two generations, as the world population has doubled to 7.3 billion, the amount of fish taken from the oceans each year has grown even faster, from 20 million metric tons in 1950 to 77 million in 2010. And these are only the official figures, which do not account for illegal, unregulated, and unreported catches.
Given that sharks are a commercially valuable secondary catch of fisheries (usually those targeting tuna), regional fisheries management organizations tend not to elaborate specific regulations for them. It is thus easier for sharks to slip through the gaps in international law than to elude fishermen's nets — especially the massive specialized nets that fisheries employ nowadays.
Indeed, unlike the artisanal fisherman of the past, factory ships and modern technologies have enabled the massive scaling up of catches to satisfy demand not only locally, but in distant markets as well. Given this, the addition of so many species to the endangered list in recent years should come as no surprise.
In this challenging environment, initiatives like the Memorandum of Understanding become even more crucial as a means of encouraging (often region-specific) action. Some signatories, including certain Pacific island states, have declared their huge exclusive economic zones to be shark sanctuaries and have established areas where all fishing is prohibited. For their part, Australia, New Zealand and the United States have created observer schemes and systems to assess and manage fish stocks.
Furthermore, in response to the outcry at the wasteful practice of shark finning, the European Union now requires that all sharks are landed intact, thereby preventing the removal of fins from sharks at sea and the disposal overboard of their less valuable bodies. This has been reinforced by the Chinese government's pledge not to serve shark fin soup, considered a delicacy, at official banquets. Even freight companies and airlines have been spurred to act, with a growing number now refusing to transport shark fins.
While such progress should be applauded, there is a long way to go. For example, efforts must be made to address bycatch (the trapping of sharks in nets intended for other fish, especially tuna). The key is for all interested parties — from fisherman and conservationists to governments and international forums — to work together through the Memorandum of Understanding and similar initiatives.
The adverse economic impact implied by such efforts is not nearly as large as one might expect; in many cases, it could be more than offset by other kinds of commercial activities that take advantage of live sharks. The thriving ecotourism operations in the Maldives, Kenya, South Africa, Fiji and some Central American and Caribbean countries are a case in point. As a tourist draw, seen at close quarters in its natural habitat, a manta ray can be worth thousands of dollars; dead on a slab at the quay-side, its flesh and gills fetch a fraction of that.
The short-term thinking that impedes environmental conservation efforts today could prove devastating; indeed, to some extent, it already has. If we continue to deplete critical ecosystems, they will soon become unable to regenerate. Only with a concerted, cooperative, and urgent effort to preserve marine ecosystems and protect the livelihoods of those who depend on them will the oceans be able to continue to feed — and fascinate — the world for generations to come.

Pilanesberg Game Reserve is 50 000 hectares in size and is located in the North West Province of South Africa, 150 km north west of the Gauteng metropolis and 60 km north of Rustenburg.
The history of Pilanesberg Game Reserve is also unique amongst national parks in Africa. Pilanesberg National Park's special features of rugged landscape, well-watered valleys and attractive dwelling sites have made it a preferred site for human settlement for thousands of years.
Prior to its proclamation as a reserve in 1979, the Pilanesberg National Park Complex was degraded and depleted of indigenous game populations due to fairly intense settlement by commercial farmers. At considerable expense, the land has been restocked with game, the scars of human settlement were removed and tourism infrastructure was developed during the first 15 years (1979 and 1993). This constituted the largest and most expensive game stocking and land rehabilitation project ever undertaken in any African game reserve at the time.
A 110 kilometer peripheral Big Game fence was erected over some very rugged terrain, 188 kilometer of visitor roads have been developed and more than 6 000 head of game were introduced during the Operation Genesis game trans-location program. Thus, while wildlife resources are rapidly declining in most developing countries in Africa, Pilanesberg National Park is one of the few areas where this trend has been dramatically reversed. For this far-sighted action the North West Province (Previously Bop Parks) and its people have received worldwide acclaim and recognition. The challenge that lies ahead is to further develop and manage Pilanesberg National Park in such a way that the conservation, cultural, recreational and economic benefits of this far-sighted action can be optimally utilised to the benefit of current and future generations.


Clearwell Systems, Inc., a leader in intelligent e-discovery, today announced that Munger, Tolles & Olson, LLP (MTO), a California-based 2008 AMLAW 200 Law Firm, has deployed the Clearwell E-Discovery Platform to help lower e-discovery costs and more rapidly respond to litigation and governmental document requests.
The current financial downturn has spurred a flood of new investigations, surpassing the total number of cases filed from the savings and loan crisis over the last two decades. Affected enterprises and executives face lawsuits and inquiries from investors, financial regulators and the government that require extremely fast responses that drain resources and drive up the cost of e-discovery. Clearwell's rapid processing and analysis of case documents can help clients and law firms respond more cost-effectively to e-discovery requests under extremely tight deadlines. Furthermore, Clearwell's Transparent Search and advanced cull-down features help ensure that only the relevant data is produced and the process is defensible, thus mitigating legal risks.
"Responding successfully to time-sensitive litigation and governmental document requests requires efficient and cost-effective e-discovery processes that maintain accuracy and defensibility, even under tight timelines," said Ron Best, director of legal information systems at MTO. "The Clearwell E-Discovery Platform allows us to more quickly index, search, analyze, and cull-down case data in a product with very robust and transparent tracking and audit capabilities."
"As enterprises navigate through the current financial crisis, many are being hit two-fold with the burden of e-discovery requests from increased litigation and investigations," said Aaref Hilaly, president and CEO at Clearwell Systems. "In order to defensibly respond to these e-discovery requests, enterprises and law firms are seeking products that provide a level of transparency not available with traditional 'black-box' technologies."
Clearwell Systems is transforming the way enterprises perform electronic discovery in response to litigation, regulatory inquiries, and corporate investigations. By automating the processing, analysis and review of electronically stored information, Clearwell enables enterprises to accelerate early case assessments, lower processing costs, reduce review workload, and gain control of electronic discovery. Clearwell received the highest ranking of 'Strong Positive' in Gartner, Inc.'s, 2008 MarketScope for E-Discovery Software Product Vendors, and was ranked a Top 5 E-Discovery Software Provider Overall in the 2008 Socha-Gelbmann Electronic Discovery Survey.

How to Plan a Spooky Halloween Birthday Party – On a Budget!
Last year, for my youngest daughter's 5th birthday, she was having her first FULL class party, and we wanted to do it in style. But, in RecessionHome.com obsessive compulsive party fashion, we needed to do it ALL on budget. I had to prove it cost less than a Chuck E. Cheese pizza party — that was roughly $250.00, for the amount of kids we had coming.
A party at home should be less expensive than renting a space, and making a big pot of chili and a bunch of tidbits should cost less than ordering catered food (even boxed pizzas for the masses!).
Here's what we're thinking as a tempting teaser!
Halloween Cakesicle Pops! LOVE these.

Антиопа () — персонаж древнегреческой мифологии, относящийся к беотийскому циклу. Возлюбленная Зевса, мать Зефа и Амфиона. Стала героиней одноимённой трагедии Еврипида и картин ряда художников Нового времени.

В мифологии
Согласно Гомеру, Антиопа была дочерью речного бога Асопа. Эту версию поддержал Аполлоний Родосский. Афинские трагики и большинство авторов последующих эпох называют Антиопу дочерью фиванца Никтея (сына одного из спартов, либо потомка Посейдона и плеяды Алкионы, либо сына Посейдона и Келено) и Поликсо. Автор Киприй считал Антиопу дочерью Лика, брата Никтея. Наконец, Павсаний пишет, что Антиопа была дочерью Никтея, но молва называла Асопа её отцом. Согласно одной из поздних вариаций мифа, Никтей был царём Фив.

Известны две основных версии традиции — беотийская и сикионская. Согласно последней, царь Сикиона Эпопей похитил Антиопу, славившуюся своей красотой, и сделал своей женой. Фиванцы начали из-за этого войну; Никтей в сражении погиб, но и Эпопей был смертельно ранен, а его преемник Ламедон выдал Антиопу, уже беременную, на родину. По беотийской версии, девушку соблазнил Зевс, причём, согласно Еврипиду, он сделал это в облике сатира. Антиковеды полагают, что эта деталь была неизвестна Гомеру, но появилась в мифе до Еврипида. Забеременев от бога, Антиопа сама бежала в Сикион, где стала женой Эпопея. Никтей перед смертью завещал Лику вернуть Антиопу на родину. Тот начал войну, убил Эпопея, а племянницу повёз в Фивы. В пути, у подножия горы Киферон, Антиопа разрешилась от бремени двумя сыновьями-близнецами. Разные авторы называют их сыновьями Зевса либо сыновьями Эпопея; согласно третьему варианту, один мальчик был сыном бога, а другой — сыном смертного.

По приказу Лика младенцев бросили на произвол судьбы. Последующие годы Антиопа провела в заточении, причём её жестоко притесняла жена Лика по имени Дирка. Однажды Антиопе удалось бежать. Она смогла найти сыновей, которые под именами Зеф и Амфион воспитывались в доме одного пастуха на Кифероне. Близнецы свергли Лика и убили Дирку. Согласно локальному фокейскому мифу, события в Фивах разгневали Диониса (Дирка почитала этого бога); он наслал на Антиопу безумие, и та долго блуждала по всей Элладе, пока не встретилась с коринфским героем Фоком (сыном Орнитиона и внуком Сизифа). Фок вылечил Антиопу и сделал своей женой.

В загробном мире, согласно Гомеру, душу Антиопы встретил Одиссей.

Память

Могилу Антиопы и Фока в Тифорее (Фокида) показывали путникам ещё во II веке н. э.. Еврипид написал трагедию о судьбе Антиопы, и его вариант этого сюжета стал в дальнейшем наиболее распространённым, хотя текст сохранился только фрагментарно. Содержание пьесы пересказывает Гигин. У Еврипида Амфион и Зеф — сыновья Зевса, они не признают свою мать после долгой разлуки, потом Дирка приезжает на Киферон и готовит Антиопе казнь, но приёмный отец близнецов рассказывает им правду. Тогда юноши убивают Дирку, привязав её за волосы к быку; они хотят убить и Лика, но это им запрещает появившийся на сцене Гермес. После этого Амфион становится царём Фив.

Марк Пакувий переложил эту пьесу Еврипида на латинский язык («Антиопу» Пакувия упоминает Марк Туллий Цицерон в трактате «О пределах блага и зла»). Перу Эвбула принадлежит комедия с тем же названием.

В Сикионе стояла статуя Антиопы. Изображение Зевса, обнимающего Антиопу, сохранилось на мозаике в Палермо и на этрусском зеркале; на хранящемся в Вене скифосе запечатлена сцена исцеления Антиопы Фоком. В эпоху Нового времени связанные с этим мифом сюжеты использовали Тициан, Антонио да Корреджо, Шарль Андре Ванлоо, Антуан Ватто и другие живописцы.

Двойной астероид (90) Антиопа, открытый в 1866 году, мог быть назван в честь матери Зефа и Амфиона либо в честь амазонки и жены Тесея.

Place the peeled and sliced the carrots into the slow cooker. Wash the potatoes well and cut into quarters. Peel the sweet potato and chop into a similar size as the potatoes, then add it to the pot. Add the diced onion, diced beef, wine, Bragg's seasoning, salt, tinned tomatoes and ½ a cup of water.
Give these all a good stir around before popping the lid on the slow cooker and cooking for 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low.
Add the end of cooking if it needs a little thickening up, mix a tbsp. of Arrowroot (tapioca flour) with a little water and add to the casserole and mix through.
Mushrooms and capsicum could also be added in the beginning, giving slightly different flavour, but my family aren't that keen on mushrooms and I want them to love this as much as I do, so I no longer put them in.


1. Generally it is advised that you send out your wedding invitations 6-8 weeks before your wedding so give yourself at least 3 months before your postage date to start working on your stationery. If you are having a destination wedding or having a wedding over the holiday season, you need to give your guests plenty of notice so send them out even earlier. Special papers or envelopes may need to be ordered in and of course you will need time to write and address them. When you meet with your Stationer, ask them for some samples, and be sure to get a printed proof before they print the final run.
2. Do a little research online to see what styles, designs and tastes appeal to you. Pinterest is a great site for ideas. Your theme could be something that portrays your interests, such as travel or music or it may just be something simple like flowers, stripes or your wedding colours. And remember the invitation is your guests' first peek at your wedding style – the style hints to the formality of your wedding. You should have an idea of the type of event you're throwing before you start shopping for stationery.
3. Setting a budget is important as it helps the Stationer create within that budget. Ask your Designer for a pricelist or a quote upfront before they begin any design, this way you will know how much it will cost before any work is done. You can get a beautiful printed design on card for very reasonable prices. When you start adding Diamonds, Pearls, Ribbons, Lace and Insert sheets, it starts getting very expensive.
4. Put some consideration into how you are going to word your invitation. If you are going for a laid back wedding, chose relaxed wording, don't choose something formal. Also speak to your parents about how they would like the invite worded. Whether your parents are financially contributing to your wedding or not, they may expect the wording to include "Together with their Parents". Have a look online for some wording ideas, there are some really great ideas out there.
1. Are you having a formal, casual or traditional wedding? If your wedding day is going to be very relaxed and informal, you may want to reflect this in your invitations. Alternatively, if you are hosting a formal celebration, more formal invitations would be best. The type of venue you are having for your ceremony and reception will have an influence on how formal or informal your invites need to be.
2. Will you have guests coming from abroad? If so, you may need to send out invites earlier than you would for a local wedding to allow for travel plans. We recommend sending invites out 2 months before your wedding date. If you are hosting your wedding abroad however, or are having guests coming from afar, it's best to give 3-4 months' notice to allow for planning.
3. Do your guests know where the ceremony venue and reception are located? If not, you might want to include directions and if there is travel involved, accommodation in the local area is great information to give to your wedding guests.
4. In addition to this, the following are useful guidelines: Allow plenty of time to decide on your wedding stationery, just to make sure you are happy with everything! Check with your supplier to see if there are minimum orders as some stationers do have these. Allow at least three weeks for RSVP so that you can make out your table plans and confirm numbers with your venue. And finally, putting a little thought into wording, design and invitation style will pay off – a professional team will always be happy to help with these aspects to make sure you are 100% happy with your wedding stationery.
6-12 Months Before Your Wedding: Send out your Save The Date cards. Order your Day Invitations, Evening Invitations, RSVP Cards, Information Cards and Mass Booklets. On the invitation you will list the hosts, the couple, the ceremony date, time and location. On the RSVP card there will be a line for your guests to reply, a response date, and a space for dietary requirements if applicable. The name line is traditionally denoted with an "M" and the guests are expected to fill in the rest of their title (Mr. or Mrs.) and names. We also recommended matching envelopes with returned address on them for your guests' convenience. Start collecting information on local accommodation and directions to the venue for your guests.
3-6 Months Before Your Wedding: Send out your Invitations along with RSVP and Information Cards. Confirm wordings for Mass Booklets or Order of Service and Menus. Allow at least 2 weeks for the typesetting and proofing. You may need to check your Mass Booklets or Order of Service wording with the person taking the ceremony.

I'm big on connection. When it comes to my marriage, though, I know all to well how easy it is to drift apart as a couple. Between my business and my husband's role as a paramedic captain, things get busy. Add in our four children and it's a miracle we have a chance to connect as a couple at all.
But we do. And one of our favorite ways to reconnect as a couple is through massage.
We've been big on couples massage for years, although, it was kind of hit or miss. But a few weeks ago we registered for Melt's online couples massage course and we can't believe how much difference a few simple tips can make to a massage.
Who knew a 15-minute massage from your husband could be so incredible and a catalyst for a much more intimate relationship? We *highly* recommend you give Melt a try for yourself.
Whether you decide to give Melt a try or not, I still highly recommend trying out couples massage. It's a fantastic way to reconnect as a couple and increase intimacy.
And if you do massage, well, you'll need massage oil.
Why oil? According to Denis Merkas, massage therapist and creator of Melt, lotion just won't do. Well, it will, but not for very long.
Lotion absorbs into the skin very quickly – much faster than a massage oil – which means you'll need to stop frequently to reapply. Once you're in the groove, that 's just not so fun.
So why not make your own massage oil, with essential oils known for their sensual properties that will help enhance the mood and provide a more enjoyable massage?
In a glass bottle, combine liquid massage oil and all of the essential oils. Cap and shake gently to mix. Label the bottle and store in a cool, dark place.
If you're using coconut oil (which I prefer because then it's solid so I don't spill, but melts easily and doesn't leave skin feeling greasy), melt the oil in a small sauce pan on medium heat. Transfer the melted oil to a small, wide-mouth jar, add the essential oils and stir. Screw on a lid and add a label.
Apply a small amount (roughly 1 tsp) to the palm of your hand. Rub hands together to warm the oil. Apply to your partner's skin in long, even strokes. Add more if needed.
Thanks for the massage oil ingredients!

Stalin Takes Aim at TN Government for the Ongoing Water Crisis in Chennai
| IOP Desk - 24 Jun 2019
IOP Corrospondent
Chennai/NewDelhi, June 24, 2019: Leading a prostest and demanding a solution to Chennai's water crisis, DMK President M.K.Stalin on Monday attacked Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK government accusing them of not working enough to resolve the issue.
Stalin said the government did not take act when the lakes supplying water to the city started drying.
"The one question being asked by people across Tamil Nadu is 'where is the water'? The AIADMK government has not completed any drinking water project in the state. Its party officials are holding yagnas in temples -- not for the rains, but to protect their own government," Stalin told the people holding the demonstration with empty pots.
The DMK chief said if his party comes to power, it will order a probe into the irregularities in the ongoing desalination water project.
On Saturday, the DMK held protests at all the district headquarters to press the government to mitigate people's suffering in the parched state.
While Cholavaram and Redhills and Chembarambakkam lakes that supply water to Chennai have run dry, there is only 19 mcft water left in Poondi reservoir, according to the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board.

Sometimes, it seems like we are constantly under pressure to "pitch". Whether it's planning your two minute "elevator pitch" for the momentous day you meet your role model in a lift, or working out how to get your boss to pick up your innovative new idea, pitching is becoming a norm in our society. It was confirmed in my mind when I attended a rather unusual event a few days ago at PwC's smart, eco-friendly offices in London, co-hosted by the Aldersgate Group.
What was unusual about the event was its focus on pitching. More specifically, it used the "Dragons' Den" format, where people get the chance to pitch their small business ideas to investors with money – and hopefully matches are made.
This format was originally tried and tested in Japan's "Money Tigers", and then exported across the globe – for example this short radio piece by the UK's Dragons' Den host Evan Davis explores Nigeria's version. Aid donors have supported these sorts of programmes in the past – Afghanistan's "Dream and Achieve" for example has received support from USAID. That's because these sorts of programmes encourage entrepreneurship and new businesses, which are desperately needed all over the world.
The idea at the PwC/Aldersgate event was pretty similar. But rather than pitching small business ideas to investors, household-name companies such as Microsoft, Virgin and PepsiCo were pitching ideas for governments to advocate and agree in Rio+20.
The nine businesses invited pitched a wide variety of ideas – summarised helpfully in this blog post from RTCC's John Parnell.
As I discovered, many of the ideas already form part of the UK position for Rio+20, which Caroline Spelman, who was also at the event, reiterated. Nevertheless, after the pitches, a panel of judges – "the dragons" – interrogated the ideas, and the audience finally voted on which they thought was the best.
The winners were as follows: ASDA's (the UK's Wal-Mart) pitch for governments to put more action and aid into food security came first, followed by B&Q's pitch for governments to measure GDP+ (which I wrote about in my last blog post). Third was Aviva's pitch for governments to push companies to be more transparent about sustainability.
I was struck in particular by ASDA's answer. They said their parent company Wal-Mart is expanding into Africa, China and India, the three places with the largest numbers of smallholder farmers worldwide. According to figures compiled in 2005, that's 33, 193 and 93 million each respectively. Businesses like theirs could invest in improvements to smallholder farmers' productivity, and increase the number of products sourced from smallholders in existing and new stores. Ultimately, in terms of sustainability, this will mean farmers improve their rates of return, get more income and build resilience to climate change. At the same time, Wal-Mart's business might grow further if farmers also became consumers. It was certainly an interesting pitch.
Had we had more time, I expect the dragons would have interrogated this answer further and extracted similar information from others. Sustainable business models do have real potential. A recent report from Ecofys measured the carbon reductions of over 30 companies who have signed up to WWF's Climate Savers Programme. Over the last 10 or so years these companies together have reduced emissions by an amount equivalent to Vietnam's 2009 annual carbon emissions. That's a decent impact, but they clearly can do more. Indeed, the competition for businesses to get ahead in sustainability is rising. A new EIRIS report for Rio+20 publicises the 10 current "sustainability leaders" and scores 50 companies with a combined market capitalisation of £4.4 trillion against each other on a range of sustainability criteria. Rio+20 can and should clearly be a catalyst for action by governments, but it should be for business too. Rio+20 could even catalyse some new public-private partnerships.
So here's my pitch: there should be another Dragons' Den in Rio+20 where we ask businesses to provide the best pitch for a new business model that will make their core activities more sustainable at the same time as creating wealth and reducing poverty. Who knows, we might elicit a few worth investing in.


Here's a quirky (i.e. Japanese) iPhone accessory you probably didn't realize you needed: Phone x Phone, an old-school wired phone that serves an iPhone charging dock — and real phone, all in one. Just plug your phone into the dock, and use the built-in handset to talk with your friends while your phone charges. No more standing by the wall, bent-over, while your phone is plugged in.
And it's not just great for using your phone while you charge it; you can also use the handset to talk and browse the web at the same time, without having to put the call on speakerphone.

South Carolina Coach Shane Beamer get mayo-ed
South Carolina Coach Shane Beamer was sprinkled with mayonnaise, but he didn't seem to care.

Well, there it is in all its glory. The long-awaited white goo viscose pie rained down on the South Carolina coach's cap, Shane Beamer, following his victory over North Carolina in what commentators have called "the highest-stakes bowl game outside the college football playoffs." This is, of course, Duke's Mayo Bowl.
It turns out there's an acceptable way to do corporate sponsorship without being completely awful, and Duke's Mayo found it. While the Gamecocks were racing all of their neighbors north on the pitch in a match that ended 38-21, ESPN's Mike Golic, Jr., and Anish Shroff provided the commentary of a lifetime from the booth, with one-beat gems coming out of commercial breaks like "pour me some mayonnaise, baby" and "I dream about food we could throw out of those buckets and say, 'why not?'" (And, of course, the "highest stake" comment).
Golic and Shroff also tested several foods dipped in Duke's Mayo throughout the game, including Oreos, peanut butter and jelly encrusted donuts and sandwiches (PBJs were the unanimous winners) and often cut to a shot of the giant Gatorade tub. full of mayonnaise sitting on the sidelines, waiting to be dumped on the lucky winning coach. At one point, a South Carolina cheerleader was in front of the camera eating mayonnaise straight from the jar with a spoon. It induces vomiting, but also exhilarating.

This stylish model includes LED grow lights, six types of herb pods, and an easy-to-use digital display system, but not the ability to keep people from doubting what it's doing on your kitchen countertop. .
As this mayonnaise bath has been in the pipeline for weeks, both coaches were asked a few days ago how it felt to get 4.5 gallons of seasoning on their heads after a win. Beamer said "I'm not the mayonnaise type. I mean, I'll gladly take one for the team on that if it means we won a soccer game, but woof. "Tar Heels manager Mack Brown seemed less hesitant, replying," If we win a game, I'd quit. someone hit me in the face with a frying pan. I don't care. "
May we all reach the level of inner peace and acceptance that Mack Brown has achieved. After the victory, Shroff and Golic could barely contain their excitement as Beamer walked towards the tunnel with a smile on his face, resigned to his fate. The winning coach also got to pick a charity that Duke's will donate $ 10,000 to after the mayonnaise bath.
Would it have been more fun to do it on the pitch without warning after the game? Sure, but to be honest, it would probably be really hard to clean up a grass pitch. Also, even with the setup, Beamer was hit in the back of the head with the pitcher. Who can say they wouldn't have accidentally dropped it on him in the heat of the moment? Alas, maybe next year we'll have a more authentic mayonnaise bath. I'm sure it looked authentic to Shane Beamer.
It was, as expected, disgusting, but Beamer kept the hat, which was certainly a smart move and kept most of the watered-down mayonnaise out of his nose, eyes and mouth. There was a lot of talk on Twitter about the correct mayonnaise-to-water ratio for the blend and the logistics of how that mayonnaise would actually be mixed on the sidelines of the game, but the pouring went (mostly) smoothly.
South Carolina will get Spencer Rattler in the QB position next year and finish this season 7-6 after Beamer's first year as head coach. Beamer said, "Mthe ayonnaise has never looked so beautiful. "

PRINCETON — Gov. Chris Christie put to rest any doubt he will change his mind on legalizing marijuana in New Jersey before he leaves office during a speech on Monday.
Speaking to the New Jersey Hospital Association, Christie repeated his assertion that marijuana leads to the use of harder drugs and addiction in a video of the speech posted by NJ.com and predicted that it will be "priority number one" if a Democrat is elected to succeed him in November.
"People like Nick Scutari and Steve Sweeney and Phil Murphy want to bring this poison, legalized, into this state under the premise that, well, it doesn't matter because people can buy it illegally anyway. Then why not legalize heroin? I mean, their argument fails just on that basis. Let's legalize cocaine. Let's legalize angel dust. Let's legalize all of it. What's the difference? Let everybody choose," Christie said in the speech.
Scutari told NJ.com that he will introduce legislation in January that would legalize the recreational use of marijuana in New Jersey.
Scutari and Sweeney took a trip to Colorado in 2016 and praised the legalization of recreational marijuana there and it's potential for bringing in tax revenue. Christie called revenue from the legalization of marijuana "blood money" during the November edition of "Ask the Governor."
"I have watched too many kids start their addiction with alcohol and marijuana and then move on to much more serious drugs. Every study shows that marijuana is a gateway drug and every study shows that marijuana causes damage," Christie said.
Christie repeated that claim in his speech on Monday, blaming "crazy liberals who want to say everything's okay."
During a town hall campaign event last October in Rutherford, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Murphy said he supports its legalization, according to NorthJersey.com, but does not mention his support on his campaign website. Opponents Sen. Ray Lesniak, Assemblyman John Wisniewski and Jim Johnson all favor legalization as well.
Republican gubernatorial candidates Jospeh Rullo and Hirsh Singh are also supporters while Steven Rogers opposes its legalization Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, Jack Ciattarelli has not commented about it since announcing their respective candidacies.


NMI offers open enrollment year-round. NMI students complete course work and clinical experience requirements at their own pace while meeting or exceeding NMI's minimum academic and clinical progress policies, and submit work to course work instructors throughout the year according to a quarterly filing schedule. Students have up to 7 years to complete the program, but may complete the program and graduate at any time.
Correspondence education affords students the opportunity to complete program requirements in their own communities. While NMI's correspondence education format means that there is no brick-and-mortar classroom, NMI students have access to a vibrant online community of other learners and instructors for connection, shared experience, and learning opportunity. Students interact with instructors and each other virtually through virtual Study Forum, a closed Facebook group, an online Student Portal, and through comprehensive student services conducted using e-mail, phone, and videoconferencing.
NMI students are invited to participate in NMI's weekly virtual Study Forum meetings hosted by NMI Course Work Instructors. Participants share information and resources during these student-driven weekly study sessions using Zoom, a free online video conferencing platform. At the end of each session, students choose a topic for the following week's session. While sessions often focus in-depth on a particular midwifery topic or module, past sessions have also addressed diverse topics such as business management, student/preceptor relationships, and self-care for midwives.
Students call in to Study Forum using their computer, tablet, smartphone, or landline phone. Study Forum takes place every Sunday at 5:30pm PST / 8:30pm EST.
"There was bonding with other NMI students both in person and online that I appreciated. This part actually kept me going and enabled my to finish my studies."
Enrolled students are encouraged to participate in NMI's closed Facebook group for enrolled students and graduates. This lively discussion board is a place for students and graduates to interact with other students, graduates, and NMI Course Work instructors and staff, as well as to share resources, discuss course work, network, and more.
NMI's academic year is divided into quarters, with minimum course work and clinical experience documentation submissions due for submission within each quarter. Students submit a minimum of 2 academic modules for each quarter of active enrollment; many students submit more in order to complete the program in less than 7 years. During work with preceptors, documentation of training and evaluations of self and preceptor are completed for each quarterly cycle.
For students acting as student-assistant under preceptor supervision: every 3 months.
For students acting as student-primary under preceptor supervision: evaluation cycles occur after every 5 births.
Within 36 months of initial enrollment: student must secure an apprenticeship.
Within 42 months of initial enrollment: student must begin filing documentation of non-primary experience.
Within 60 months of initial enrollment: student must begin fining documentation of student-primary care under preceptor supervision.
NMI sends out quarterly reminders during the third month of each quarter, reminding each student of what they individually have due at the end of that quarter. NMI also sends out quarterly check-in questions to gather information about each student's program participation and to update their learning plan.
The NMI office is located in rural Vermont: it is not a public facility. The NMI Office is staffed by the Program Administrator, Associate Administrator, and office support staff. Course Work instructors are available by phone or text Monday though Friday during regular business hours.
Instructors maintain professional responsibilities in the greater midwifery community: serving on advisory or executive boards, teaching at conferences, doing research or technical writing. Instructors notify students if they will be briefly unavailable due to personal or professional commitments.

I must confess; I've turned my back to the plow many times. It wasn't that I didn't feel the Spirit leading me. I did! But I could feel many other spirits–the spirit of doubt, the spirit of fear, the spirit of so much worry. God have mercy on me, a sinner. At least I know I'm in good company. Jesus hand- selected twelve men to walk beside Him in his visible flesh, and every one of his disciples turned his back on the path at some point. No one said discipleship was easy. What Saint Ignatius of Loyola said rings much more true.
In his famous rules for discernment of spirits, St. Ignatius theorized that it is whenever we are moving in the right direction that the spirits of doubt and anxiety will attack us the most. When we are just about to take that next stride forward, our excuses come– the little voices in our ear telling us to turn back. Oh how we wish we could make these voices stop, but they will never completely go away. That is why many teachers in the church say it is better to know these voices and give them names. Lately, as I have been considering the excuses that discourage me and seem to discourage others, I think I have found their names.
Job 38: 4 Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand.
True humility isn't being terrified that we can't hold the heavens on our shoulders; it's knowing that we don't have to. Good news, there is a God. Better news, it's not you. Atlas can only shrug when we get dumb enough to believe the world started and ended with us. You didn't lay out the foundation of the world, and you won't be able to wreck it either.
My spiritual adviser sometimes says everyone has gifts; we just don't always like ours. But your gifts were carefully chosen for you. God made you carefully and wonderfully, and you have something special to give this world.
1 Corinthians 12:26 And when one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that, miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
People tell me all the time that problems are just too big and too complicated for me to solve [especially in areas of social justice]. About me personally, in my lifetime, they are probably correct. But they have completely underestimated the body of Christ. There are over 1 billion Catholics (and many more protestants) in the world, and we have been slowly making history for over 2000 years. If you're naive enough to tell me what we can't overcome, please review your history books first!
One of my favorite parts of being Catholic is knowing that no matter how big and intractable a problem is, there is surely someone in the Church somewhere who is working to solve it. So I don't have to solve the problem on my own. I can add my support to my brothers and sisters already chipping away. Life is a long journey. Do not be fooled if the first steps seem insignificant.
1 Corinthians 12:21 The eye cannot say to the hand, 'I don't need you!' And the head cannot say to the feet, 'I don't need you!' 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable.
Once we think about what the body can accomplish, it is tempting just to step aside and let "them" do it. That is not how it works. God chose you to be an indispensable part of that body. You were lovingly and fearfully made so you can say for certain God is calling "you" just as he has called all of us.
And for anything you really can't handle, you can turn to Christ. Whatever it is, Christ can handle it. Don't avoid the rocky paths; He will carry you.
Cherished, protected, loved, you are a child of God. What could scare a child of God? What excuses does a child of God have? I leave you with the title that silences all of the voices. "Who Do You Think You Are?" You are a child of God! You are enough. You are all that you ever needed to be. You are more than you ever hoped to become. You are a child of God!
So my challenge to you this post is to be mindful of the voices in your head. Name your fears. Name your excuses so you can answer them all. One by one you can tell them, "I am a child of God!" Now take up the plow again. It is lighter than you think.

ADB extends 630,000 USD grant to study wind energy in Philippines
The grant, which will be coursed through the Asian Clean Energy Fund and funded by the Japanese government, is expected to help reduce the country's reliance on coal and oil-fired power and cut greenhouse gas emissions.
The grant will be used for wind assessments, annual energy production estimates, assessment of environmental impacts and social acceptability, assessment of wind energy related issues, and an evaluation of transmission connection issues.
The Philippines pioneered the use of wind power in Southeast Asia, in line with the government's thrust to promote clean energy. The Philippines is home to one wind turbines facility — the Northwind Bangui Bay wind farm in the northern Philippine province of Ilocos Norte.
"The potential for harnessing wind power remains high as the country of more than 7,100 islands is situated on the fringes of the Asia- Pacific monsoonal belt," the ADB said in a statement.
The Philippine Department of Energy has given Alternergy Philippine Holdings Corporation (Alternergy) the rights the to develop wind power facilities in several locations. If the feasibility studies show that the plants are technically and financially viable, Alternergy plans to build three wind farms with a combined capacity of up to 150 MW.
The Asian Clean Energy Fund is one of three funds under the Clean Energy Financing Partnership Facility which was established in 2007 to help improve energy security in ADB's developing member countries, and to decrease the rate of climate change.

\section{Introduction}
It is known that the reduction of size of the particle leads to an intensification of reactivity of the magnetic material.
As a result, it is natural to assume that small particles are rather heterophase than homogeneous.
Moreover, the formation of neighboring magnetic phases can be caused by processes of oxidation
or disintegration of the solid solution (see, eg,~\cite{Stacey1974,Gapeev1992}) occurring in the magnetically ordered grain.
Most of the ultrafine magnetic materials of practical interest is two-phase or multiphase single-domain particles.
For example, they are carriers of information in the magnetic memory elements, also they are widely used in modern biophysics.
Numerous experiments with ultradispersed magnetic materials discovered the dependence of such magnetic properties as coercive force,
remanent magnetization and magnetic susceptibility on values and prehistory of the mechanical stresses applied to the samples.
The inverse problem is of independent interest:
to determine the magnetic prehistory of the sample from its known mechanical properties.
This task is extremely important for the magnetic measurements of fatigue of metal constructions,
as well as in the study of the paleointensity.
Owing to the research based on the dependence of magnetic properties on mechanical stresses,
ultradispersed magnets are used, for example, in the sensors of heavy load, in the technology of transformer cores,
and control systems of fatigue of metal structures,
in electronic article surveillance and many other technical developments.

\section{Model}
\begin{figure}

\includegraphics[scale=1.2]{fig_1.pdf}
\caption{Illustration of the model of two-phase particle}
\label{fig:1}
\end{figure}

\begin{enumerate}
\item  Homogeneously magnetized nanoparticle (phase {\em 1}) of volume $V$
has the form of ellipsoid with elongation\footnote{{\em elongation} ---
the ratio of the length $a$ of semi-major axis of the ellipsoid to the length $b$ of semi-minor one}  $q_1$,
and its long axis oriented along the $Oz$-axis (see fig.~\ref{fig:1}).

\item Nanoparticle contains an uniformly magnetized ellipsoidal inclusion (phase {\em 2})
with a volume $v=\varepsilon V$ and elongation of $q$.

\item The angle between the long axes of the particle and the inclusion is $\alpha$.

\item It is considered that the axes of crystallographic anisotropy of both uniaxial ferromagnets are parallel
to the long axes of the ellipsoids, and the vectors of spontaneous magnetization of
phases ${{\mathbf I}}^{(1)}_s$ and ${{\mathbf I}}^{(2)}_s$ lie in the plane $yOz$,
that contains the long axes of the magnetic phases, and make angles $\theta^{(1)}$ and $\theta^{(2)}$
with the $Oz$ axis, respectively.

\item Both external magnetic field $H$ and uniaxial mechanical stresses $\sigma $ are applied along the $Oz$-axis.

\item The volume of nanoparticles exceeds the volume of superparamagnetic transition.
\end{enumerate}

\section{Results}
The calculation of the magnetization, held within the framework of the above mentioned model
of two-phase particles~--- maghemite ($\gamma$-$Fe_2O_3$) epitaxially coated with
cobalt ferrite ($CoFe_2O_4$)~--- is shown in fig.~\ref{fig:2}.
It is easy to see that stretching shifts the magnetization curves to lower magnetic fields~$H$,
and the compression leads to the opposite effect.
At the same time mechanical stresses do not affect the saturation magnetization,
which is determined by the thickness of cobalt coating.
These results are determined by the dependence of the critical fields of magnetization reversal on the stresses:
stretching decreases the critical fields of magnetization reversal and compression increases it,
and the coercivity of the particles changes consequently.

\begin{figure}[p]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.96]{fig_5_1.pdf}
\includegraphics[scale=0.96]{fig_5_2.pdf}
\includegraphics[scale=0.96]{fig_5_3.pdf}
\caption{The effect of mechanical stresses $k_{\sigma}=3\lambda_{100}\sigma/K_A$ and the relative volume of the cobalt
    coating $\tau=1-\varepsilon$ on the magnetization of elongated nanoparticles
    (elongation $q_1=3$, constant of interfacial exchange interaction $A_{in}=0$,
    $\lambda_{100}$ and $K_A$ are magnetostriction constant and anisotropy constant, respectively)}
\label{fig:2}
\end{figure}

Coercivity $H_c$ depends not only on stress but also on the magnitude of the exchange interaction
through the interface $A_{in}$ and on the relative amount of cobalt coating $\tau=1-\varepsilon$.
When $A_{in}=0$ or $A_{in}=3\times10^{-8}$ erg/cm coercivity of the particles increases monotonically
with an increase in the relative volume of coating,
whereas for $A_{in} =-3\times10^{-8}$ erg/cm behavior of the $H_c$ is nonmonotonic (see fig.~\ref{fig:3}).

In addition, a negative exchange interaction leads to a decrease in the coercive force~$H_c$
as compared with $A_{in} = 0$, and positive --- to its increasing.
Features of the dependence of the coercive force of the interfacial exchange interaction $A_{in}$ shown in fig.~\ref{fig:4}.
One can see that the nonmonotonic behavior $H_c = H_c (A)$ is characteristic
of nanoparticles with a large ($\tau = 0.9$) or small ($\tau = 0.1$) thickness of the cobalt coating
and is being implemented in both positive and negative values of $A_{in}$.

The nonmonotonic behavior of the coercive force can be explained by considering the ratio of
the exchange interaction $A_{in}$ and interfacial magnetostatic interaction $A_{ms}$.
While $A_{in}>A_{ms}$, the coercivity of the system is determined by the critical field
of magnetization reversal from a state with a parallel orientation of the magnetic moments of the phase of nanoparticles
to the state in which one phase (conventionally, {\em the first}) is antiparallel to the external magnetic field~$H$
and the other parallel to it.
According to~\cite{Geocosmos2010}, this critical field decreases with increasing of $A_{in}$.
When $A_{in}<A_{ms}$, nanoparticles with parallel magnetic moments of the phases remagnetized
by switching of the magnetic moment of the first phase into a state parallel to the field $H$.
The critical field of magnetization reversal in this case should increase with increasing of $A_{in}$.

Noted above nonmonotonic behavior of $H_c$ did not observed in~\cite{Sawatzky1969,Yang1994},
which is obviously associated with a narrower, than in the present study,
spectrum of the critical fields of magnetization reversal of two-phase particles.
A qualitative comparison of the results with similar calculations presented in~\cite{Yang1994,Yang1991,Aharoni1988}
shows that, just as in these papers, with the growth of phase $CoFe_2O_4$, coercivity increases up to saturation.

ourselves to keep from getting bored?
General Commenti love it. though i don't understand it.
General CommentIts Amanda watching a friend and fellow musican who is rather bad, but she supports them anyway.
General CommentJust to note, The Roses is probably a bar or club.
General CommentI love this song. Amazing band.
To me its about going to watch a musican friend who is performing badly, like errky39 said. But i also think it might mean she went to watch as she wanted a romantic relationship with the musician, to show she would always be there. Im not sure though and parts confuse me, it could easily just be her being a good friend.
General Commenti would like to think that this is the story on when Amanda and Brian met, but i have my doubts.
General CommentAmanda and Brian met at a party, and it was Brian who watched Amanda preform, so probably not.
smiling as if your songs were good"
General Commentto me the last verse implies that she hasnt ever actually met this person, but she keeps going to watch them play badly because shes in love...thats why in the last verse shes sitting on the curb after the gig finished, waiting for him to come out so she can say hello, give hum a flower...maybe? and what they deserve is to be together?
General Commentmaybe a song about her thing for conor oberst of bright eyes? how she met him and he sort of blew her off as just another fan?
We do not have any tags for A Night at the Roses lyrics. Why not add your own?
