Today on The Australian Bookshelf we have author Mysti Parker on tour with Bewitching Book Tours. She is promoting her fantasy romance novel, A Ranger's Tale. Welcome Mysti!
Things I'm Learning, Sometimes The Hard Way
First of all, thank you so much for having me, and I am so happy to be in the Land Down Under, even if only in virtual form! I hope you all will enjoy my post today.
Since the writing bug bit in and carried me off in 2009, I've learned several important things about the business of writing. As with most advice, remember that these things can also be carried over into other aspects of life, so I'll start with:
1. Learn to self-edit. You can't depend on other people for this. Read your stories out loud to catch things you can't catch while silently reading. Don't do this on a bus or in a waiting room or checkout line. Unless you're Stephen King or Nora Roberts, people really don't want to hear it yet.
2. Find a critique group. This works best with like-minded writers that share a style similar to yours. Not necessarily the same genre, but people who understand your propensity to use the word "utterly". Find people who will be honest with you. This isn't your mother, who's kept every story you've written since you were six and thinks you're the next J.K. Rowling. Other writers work best for this.
3. Don't waste money on expensive writing classes. Try some out—both free and paid, and stick to what works. The best learning experience is from writing, reading, and critiquing regularly. Writers helping writers. You don't need to spend hundreds to do that.
4. Don't respond badly to negative reviews. I've seen a few bad examples of this recently. Yes, it stings when someone points out a flaw in our writing (or any other matter), and the first reaction is to bite back. Resist! When it comes to writing, I live by the mantra, "At least they took the time to read what I wrote." That's huge. They could have easily passed over it, but they didn't. So, respond with a simple, "Thank you." Give it a day or two, and if you're still really steamed, message that person privately and ask them what they didn't like and how they think it could have been improved. Learn and grow from experience!
5. Don't give up. Writing can be really hard. So can most things we really want to succeed in, but if you want it bad enough, you'll find a way to make it work. You may never be the next J.K. Rowling (despite what your mom says), but you might actually get a short story or article published, and if you keep going, lo and behold, you've written a novel. You'll get a few fans, sign a few copies, and be quite proud of yourself. You might still have a day job, but very few of us are J.K. Rowling rich.
Now let me show you how my impetuous heroine of A Ranger's Tale experienced some challenges in her own learning. She failed at being a wizard and a ranger at first and wanted to give up. Let me show you some examples:
Here, Caliphany is practicing her dissertation that will prepare her to take her father's place in the Mage Academy someday. She's not quite there yet with her fire magic, as her tutor, Sir Malchior can attest:
[From A Ranger's Tale, Chapter 3] The blue flame jumped from my hand to the bench, flared and projected itself directly toward Sir Malchior, who raised his head just in time to notice. His eyes flew wide open; he screamed and ducked. The flame hit the stone wall behind him and shook the room. The others flickered and faded until they were gone.
My jaw dropped. "I-I'm sorry. I don't know what happened. Are you all…?"
Sir Malchior shot from his seat and removed his hand from the top of his head. Smoke rose from the patch of bare scalp and the ring of singed brown hair around it.
"You…are…hopeless!" He stormed out just as my father entered the room. Sir Malchior wagged a finger at him."Your daughter. Your daughter!"
Father blinked, and then turned his disappointed gaze on me. He winced when the front door slammed. I tried not to cringe. Hands behind his back, he stepped toward me. I swallowed, wishing my mouth wasn't so dry. I willed my eyes to meet his, framed in the stone of his unsmiling face.
And then here, during her ranger training with Galadin, she's feeling pretty bad about herself. Luckily, Galadin doesn't let her give up so easily.
[From A Ranger's Tale, Chapter 7] I kicked at the dirt. I felt like an idiot. Eight days of training, and what did I have to show for it? Bloody fingers and sore arms.
"…I guess I didn't expect all this to be so hard."
Galadin stirred the fire, jamming the iron poker into the flames until sparks flew around us. "Life is hard, but you probably wouldn't know about that."
I sat my plate on my knee and stared pointedly at him. "I know very well how hard life is. I've lived like a slave for years, toiling over tomes and spell scrolls until I can't see straight. All for magic that is useless."
Galadin laughed. "A slave? Let me tell you about being a slave. It's spending months at sea, at the mercy of the winds and waves. It's losing everyone you love and having to survive day after day, not knowing where your next meal is coming from. You know nothing of hardship."
I slammed my plate down on the log bench. "Don't presume to tell me what I know and what I don't. I've done nothing but disappoint my father since birth. He expects me to be a great wizard, but only within the gilded cage of the city. They monitor my speech, my clothing, my whereabouts, and they want me to marry a man I don't even like. Maybe your definition of hardship is different than mine, but it makes mine no less real."
Remorse settled in his green eyes. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so harsh. I falsely assumed that someone of your station would have had a…well, a somewhat easier life."
For a moment, I lost myself in his gaze. "It-it could have been an easy life, had I contented myself with that path. Perhaps I was wrong to come here. I'm sorry to have wasted your time."
"No." He put a gentle hand on my shoulder. His touch reassured me. "You're doing well. And you're not wasting my time. Don't give up—not yet anyway. I won't if you won't."
I sighed and tried to smile. "All right. I won't give up."
See? Even fantasy women have a hard time succeeding, but it's worth it in the end. What are you striving to succeed in? Are there times you want to throw in the towel? How do you pick yourself up and start again? Feel free to answer in the comments below!

Griffin v Plymouth Hospital NHS Trust [2014] EWCA Civ 1240
The President of the Employment Tribunals, Judge Brian Doyle, has announced that the Compensation for Loss of Pension Rights Booklet ("the Guidance") has been withdrawn from the Ministry of Justice website, however the underlying approaches in the Guidance remain valid.
The decision follows Underhill LJ's comments in Griffin v Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust [2014] EWCA Civ 1240 (where the Claimant was represented by Cloisters' Joel Donovan QC and Chris Milsom). Underhill LJ urged an urgent review of the Guidance in order to ensure that claimants were adequately compensated in light of changes in pension law and practice.
The Guidance is due to be reviewed by a judicial working party, however in the mean time employment tribunals have been provided with a discretion when deciding the level of compensation for pension loss.

text: Background Many reports have reported factors connected with HIV status disclosure among People COPING WITH HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) but hardly any were conducted among PLWHA receiving ART. 215 (74.6%) completed the questionnaire on HIV sero-status disclosure. We discovered that 131 VX-809 PLWHA (60.9%) acquired disclosed their HIV sero-status with their sexual companions; 130 (60.5%) had been alert to the HIV position of their sexual companions. In the multivariate evaluation, the factors connected with HIV position disclosure to intimate companions had been: adherence to Artwork (aOR = 4.89; 95%CI = [1.52; 15.78]), intimate partner knowing of HIV sero-status (aOR = 52.73; 95%CI = [14.76; 188.36]) and marital position of PLWHA (aOR = 6.10; 95%CI = [1.74; 21.37]). Bottom line This research allowed us to notice which the disclosure of HIV position to intimate companions is fairly low also to record the associated elements such as for example adherence to Artwork, intimate partner knowing of HIV sero-status and marital position. Background In later 2012, it had been estimated that the amount of People Coping with HIV and Helps (PLWHA) worldwide was 35.3 million, of whom 71% were surviving in sub-Saharan Africa where threequarters of most AIDS-related fatalities occurred in 2012 [1]. In Togo, there have been 130,000 PLWHA of whom a lot more than 31,638 had been receiving Artwork and about 5% of these resided in the Central area [2]. Generally in most Helps programs, approaches for preventing HIV transmitting are mainly predicated on campaigns to improve public awareness also to incite them to improve their specific behaviors within a supportive environment. Among these avoidance strategies, the suggestions associated with HIV position disclosure hold an essential place [3,4,5]. Writing HIV position information with intimate partner really helps to create a romantic relationship where the HIV-positive person will probably get emotional, moral or economic support from his/her partner to be able to manage with the down sides connected with HIV an infection [6,7]. In addition, it motivates the adoption of safer intimate behavior in PLWHA and could reduce VX-809 the threat of HIV intimate transmission towards the partner [8,9]. It's been proven that after disclosing HIV position to types intimate partner or a grouped relative, the causing social support takes its main factor in preserving and fostering ART adherence [10]. Nevertheless, the disclosure of types HIV position you could end up negative consequences like the loss of public support. Many PLWHA, after disclosing their HIV position, are victims of discrimination, stigmatization, rejection and violent reactions [4 occasionally,11]. Disclosing HIV position to a reliable person in the group becomes a significant psychological challenge encountered by VX-809 PLWHA, which Helps programs want to take up unremittingly. Although HIV position disclosure appears to be an extremely tough and complicated procedure, it really is well noted that its prevalence continues to be high among PLWHA in sub-Saharan Africa and could reach 72.1% in Western world Africa (Mali and Burkina Faso) [12] and 95% in Uganda [13]. Many reports on the elements connected with VX-809 HIV position disclosure among PLWHA have already been executed [6,7,8,11,12,13,14,15,16]. Many of them possess reported that the particular level and final results of HIV position disclosure among PLWHA had been influenced mainly by Artwork adherence and understanding of the companions HIV position [17], the known degree of education, the economical position and the sufferers age [14], the usage of ART aswell as surviving in few [7]. However, handful of these scholarly research had been executed among PLWHA getting antiretroviral therapy [11,12,17]. Furthermore, no research on HIV position disclosure to intimate companions has been executed among PLWHA on Artwork in Rabbit Polyclonal to MLTK Togo however. We sought to look for the degree of HIV position disclosure to intimate companions and to record the factors connected with HIV position disclosure among PLWHA getting Artwork at Sokod local medical center in Togo. Technique Study Design This is a cross-sectional research executed at Sokod local medical center from Might to July 2013 among PLWHA who was simply on Artwork for at least 90 days. Setting Sokod local medical center is a wellness reference center from the central area which is among the six wellness parts of Togo. A healthcare facility is approximately 350 km from the administrative centre Lom. It offered four wellness districts with a complete people of 654,074 inhabitants in 2013 [18]. Around 45% from the 1869 PLWHA signed up in the central area are implemented up within this medical center [2]. Research People and Sampling This scholarly research targeted PLWHA who had been followed up in Sokod regional medical center and receiving Artwork. From the 843 PLWHA who had been being implemented up in a healthcare facility, 798 had been aged above 15 years [2]. We utilized comfort sampling to recruit PLWHA aged above 15 years from.

Hi Everyone,
A couple of weeks ago, I travelled to South Carolina and spent quite a bit of time sharing stories and ideas with my new friend, Cameron Walker. We share a passion for encouraging worship musicians, and we'll be collaborating more over time to that end. For now, I'd like to introduce you to his music.
Hope Has Come, is a moving and beautiful worship experience. The songwriting and musicianship are excellent, but what really catches me is the connection to the Father's heart that comes from going through some trials and coming out with stronger faith on the other side. Hope Has Come is made up of great songs, which could stand alone, but the album definitely deserves to be appreciated in its entirety. I recommend you pick up this album on iTunes and put it on repeat for a while.

This album has a great performance from Jay Rock, but his choice of production, while the beats are enjoyable, can make the songs seem quirky and difficult to follow. Individual good components, but not great put together.
The production is good with interesting sounds that make the beats interesting. Each beat is individual with not a lot of confusion between the songs. They could stand on thier own two feet a bit more rather than relying on the artist but at least it gives Jay Rock plenty of room to show what he can do.
The lyricism is good without being overly complicated or confusing. Jay Rock keeps it relatively straight forward, packing his rhymes with delivery and messages to keep the listener interested. Some more complexity could show that Jay Rock is still evolving as an artist, but what he does here shows that he is still making good music.
The features are great and compliment Jay Rock very well. Some showcase his label mates trying different techniques, while others do just enough to enhance Jay Rock on the tracks. There is a great blend of people for the eleven tracks on this album that help build the project.
Overall, this album shows that Jay Rock can hang out with the best of them when it comes to signiture songs, but may want ot look at making some more radio friendly type songs to gain more of an audiance.

Yes, you're right that it would be problematic to say the least to assume that the difftime object is measured in days and not in, say, seconds. And I suppose that it makes sense to prioritize avoiding calculations that give misleading results over forcing changes in old code. I was just caught somewhat unprepared, and I know that my colleagues who is not quite as R-literate will be even more unprepared for old stuff no longer working. Usually, R prepares the user for these kind of things by throwing warnings a version or two before the change is actually implemented. But I guess that's not always practical. I take it that your argument would also work agains implementing simple difftime-methods of functions as well, where you force difftime objectws to be numeric? In that case, people can disregard my suggestion of adding a difftime-method to cut(). Anyhow, I'll stop whining now. Thanks for the good work you're doing in the R Core team.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, or PCNL, is a procedure for removing medium-sized or larger renal calculi (kidney stones) from the patient's urinary tract by means of an nephroscope passed into the kidney through a track created in the patient's back. The term "percutaneous" means that the procedure is done through the skin.
A standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes about three to four hours to complete. After the patient has been anesthetized, the surgeon makes a small incision, about 0.5 in (1.3 cm) in length in the patient's back on the side overlying the affected kidney. The surgeon then creates a track from the skin surface into the kidney and enlarges the track using a series of Teflon dilators or bougies. A sheath is passed over the last dilator to hold the track open.
After the track has been enlarged, the surgeon inserts a nephroscope, which is an instrument with a fiberoptic light source and two additional channels for viewing the inside of the kidney and irrigating (washing out) the area. The surgeon may use a device with a basket on the end to grasp and remove smaller kidney stones directly. Larger stones are broken up with an ultrasonic or electrohydraulic probe, or a holmium laser lithotriptor. The holmium laser has the advantage of being usable on all types of calculi.
A catheter is placed to drain the urinary system through the bladder and a nephrostomy tube is placed in the incision in the back to carry fluid from the kidney into a drainage bag. The catheter is removed after 24 hours. The nephrostomy tube is usually removed while the patient is still in the hospital but may be left in after the patient is discharged. More than 500 PCNL performed yearly at labbafinejad hospital.
Alternatives include observation, multiple ESWL, ureteroscopy, and open surgical procedures. Observation is not recommended due to increased likelihood of renal damage, ESWL and ureteroscopy is not recommended since there is a likelihood of multiple procedures and decreased success rate, open surgery is not the first choice due to the invasiveness of the procedure and prolonged recuperation time, however, has an equal to better success rate than the PNL.
Most hospitals require patients to have the following tests before a PCNL: a complete physical examination; complete blood count; an electrocardiogram (EKG); a comprehensive set of metabolic tests; a urine test; and tests that measure the speed of blood clotting.
Aspirin and arthritis medications should be discontinued seven to 10 days before a PCNL because they thin the blood and affect clotting time. Some surgeons ask patients to take a laxative the day before surgery to minimize the risk of constipation during the first few days of recovery.
The patient is asked to drink only clear fluids (chicken or beef broth, clear fruit juices, or water) for 24 hours prior to surgery, with nothing by mouth after midnight before the procedure.
You will be in the hospital for at least 2 to 3 days. Most people are able to return to work within a few weeks.
Many stones can now be dealt with using external shock waves, which avoids any operation at all. However, not all stones are suitable for this technique, and they need to be removed surgically. It has been decided that a percutaneous nephrolithotomy is the best way of dealing with your stone.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is considered a very safe procedure, designed to save you having a larger operation. There are some slight risks and possible complications involved, and although it is difficult to say exactly how often these occur, they are generally minor and do not happen very often.
There are a number of risks associated with PCNL:
PCNL has a high rate of success for stone removal, over 98% for stones that remain in the kidney and 88% for stones that pass into the ureter.

By Livia Jamerlan
Kneeling next to him on the bed, his lips covered mine as his hands reached for my neck pulling me closer to him. Needing to be closer, I wrap my hands around his hair deepening our kiss. I place my legs around his waist not letting go. He moves, pushing me back which causes me to lie on my back again. He covers my naked body with his. He pulls away from my lips and looks deep into my eyes.
"I promise I will try every day to make you smile." He says, letting me know by the look in his eyes that I made the right decision.
I lean up and bring my lips to his again, exploring his mouth with my kiss. He is my undoing. Being underneath him is my serenity. His hands slowly reach down and grab my breasts. Reality sets in and hits me like a ton of bricks. We were made from one another. Our bodies perfectly united as one, every part of my body fits his, his hands fit perfectly around my breast, his lips mold perfectly to my nipples. Our bodies are synced as one. He slowly rubs the tip of my nipples. I begin to arch my back as the purest of pleasure is shooting down into my core. Again.
"Please." I beg in between breaths. He pulls away bringing himself up so his mouth meets my neck. His favorite spot.
"Say it again. Beg for it." He commands with each soft kiss. He moves down my neck, towards my collarbone. The sweet tingly sensation cause by his lips makes my toes curl.
"Please." I breathe out as his hand continues tantalizing my nipple. He makes his way to my breast and looks up at me before he licks hard nipple ever so slowly. My eyes roll back into my head and he continues to lick one while softly pinching the other. The need for release is building but I don't know how much longer I can handle him teasing me. He switches to the other side. The teasing is no longer sweet but carnal. He is devouring each one like his favorite flavor of ice cream.
"Please. Baby please I can't take it anymore." I beg, needing his help with the ache between my legs.
He rises from my breast slowly placing feather soft kiss along my abdomen. When he spreads my legs my heart stops. I grip the sheets as I anticipate his dive into my core. Holding my breath waiting for his tongue to meet my clit, I feel my heart throbbing in my chest. When I feel his tongue on my most sensitive part, moans erupt from me that I can't control. With my eyes closed, I feel him. He begins down low in my opening licking his way up to my swollen bead.
"I love how wet you are for me." He whispers as he takes his thumb and rubs it up and down on my clit. "Will you come for me Alani?"
"Uh-huh." I can barely mange to think let alone speak. The only thing I can think about or focus on is the most desirable man sitting in between my legs and savoring me.

Fairy Tale Fridays - "Maleficent"
History is always told from the point of view of the victor, a point of view which can't always be trusted to tell the whole truth. Likewise, we can't always trust that we are getting true story from any narrator. What if the person we've been taught is the good guy has actually done a really horrible thing? What if the bad guy has a reason to be pissed off (sorry, Mom, I know how you hate that word)? What if the story you've been told all of your life is a lie?
King Stefan, on the other hand, spends the years fuming about the curse, trying to find ways to get to Maleficent to destroy her. He grows more and more mad (and by "mad," I mean out-of-his-mind mad). When, despite Maleficent's last minute attempt to reverse the curse, Aurora falls into that deep sleep, Stefan is more consumes with killing his enemy than in saving his daughter. And then there is the scene that made Miss H say "Damn! Plot twist!" Cause, yeah, it was great and changed everything.

Okay, NOW I want to watch this one. Another thing to check for on Netflix.ReplyDelete
This is one of my favorite movies and I've watched so many times already. lol. Jolie is absolutely fantastic in it. A person can just lose themselves in the vibrant scenes and the action. It's just so good and you've made me want to watch it yet again.Replies
Jolie really did a great job of coming across as this being so filled with rage she would take down the world and then slowly melting. Did you know that in the scene where the toddler Aurora comes to her, that is Jolie & Brad Pitt's daughter?Delete
I'm so glad you reviewed this one, Lisa. I was quite taken with the movie when I saw it. I absolutely loved that twist you mention. :-) I am trying to convince my husband he needs to watch it.ReplyDelete
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this one.ReplyDelete

Maui's Kurt Suzuki Headed to World Series with Nationals
Maui's Kurt Suzuki is headed to the World Series for the first time in his 13-year major league career.
The Baldwin High School graduate joins his Nationals teammates after the Washington team defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in a 7-4 victory on Tuesday for the National League pennant.
The major league catcher has played for the Washington Nationals, Oakland Athletics and Minnesota Twins over the years, but this is his first time he will be playing in the World Series.
Mayor Victorino congratulated Suzuki saying, "It's a dream for baseball players from Little League through the Major Leagues to play in the World Series, and that dream will come true for Kurt Suzuki. It takes an incredible amount of sacrifice and dedication to achieve the highest level of any sport. So, I appreciate what Kurt and his family have gone through to get to this high point in his career."
"Joycelyn and I, and our ʻohana, could not be happier for Kurt and his family. We wish them all the best. We'll be cheering for the Nationals and for Kurt to bring home a championship ring."
The Nationals play the winner of the AL Championship Series. Houston is currently leading the series 2-1 over the Yankees with potentially four games remaining.
The World Series game will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2019.

Mobile SEO, the latest buzzing doing the rounds of the SEO industry is the interest generated by Mobile search.Recent market surveys conducted by popular brands like Mobile Marketer in their reports have suggested that more than 30 percent of all Internet search queries come from mobile devices. It can be said therefore that mobile search is quickly moving from a state of obscurity to that of increased visibility and demand.
Mentioned below are a seven tips meant to boost trade prospects for Mobile SEO entrepreneurs.
1. Understanding Audience behavior before building a mobile website
It is important for any mobile web developer to have a firsthand knowledge of the tastes and preferences of the audiences' that the website is likely to cater. It is also a handy tip to know ways to attract and retain visitors to a website before proceeding to build one.
Developers can use Google Analytics to devote a section for organic mobile traffic and then find out the volume of hits to their website, devices used, hyper-linked pages visited the most and the keywords that are most popular. Thereafter, the content that is most popular with mobile users must be prioritized during the construction of the mobile website.
2. Increasing the visibility quotient of a website in mobile search results
Mobile website developers must research the frequency of visibility of their website on mobile search results and locate keywords and pages that are getting the maximum visibility. Google Webmaster Tools is a helpful app to identify the top queries and pages showing phone search queries or (SERPs) that help to identify contents that are required to be optimized for individual mobile websites.
3. Identifying popular keywords used by mobile search users
Identifying common search keywords used by mobile audiences is vital for mobile SEO marketers to increase traffic to their website. Keyword Tool from Google is a highly recommended mobile filter that locates the keywords mobile search users search from.
4. Avoid developing apps until the creation of a credible mobile website
Mobile SEO experts advise beginners not to create an app until the development of a convincing mobile web site. It is because mobile apps have limited reach and are visible in search results for app-specific keywords and the link parity for the app benefits app stores instead of the website that it was originally meant for.
5. Creating links with other mobile sites and desktop sites that discusses mobile content
Link parity is a classifying factor in mobile search, and not incorporating links within a website's content would make it appear less authoritative and visible in search results. Listed below are some tactics for building links with other relevant mobile websites:
Linking up with mobile content increases awareness and initiates data reciprocation.Linking mobile versions of desktop websites is also a good ploy since it enables the linking website to direct traffic to the mobile version of a popular website.
Promote mobile content to mobile specific audience on mobile sites and in a mobile context by using mobile domain, QR or URL code (as applicable) in offline advertising as well.
Incorporating footer links to a desktop site is also a good option but developers should abstain from forcing viewers to view mobile content.
6. Enhancing social media profiles, images and other mobile content for mobile-specific keywords
Optimizing images helps linking them with Google goggles and other mobile visual search or amplified image search engines. Social networkers are often mobile nowadays, so enhancing these assets for the keywords that mobile users are employing to search for a specific content increases relevance for such content and could increase its visibility quotient due to the growing trend of social local mobile segment or (SoLoMo).
7. Create and adjust mobile applications before submitting them to Android Market
It is advisable to adjust mobile applications before submitting them to the online app stores since apps can be located in Google search results when users download apps through non-branded keywords,using improved variants of these keywords.
Mobile SEO experts suggest app developers to use 'Chomp' top search queries and search suggestions from Yahoo app stores to appreciate app store search
behavior and keywords. It is also advisable to abstain from using trans-coders like 'Usablenet' and other mobile solutions that doesn't allow developers to customize things like changing domains (where the apps may be hosted) or indexing pages that may link two or more apps together.
It is equally important to find trustworthy information resources and periodically examine new best practices to confirm their efficiency. Since mobile search is still in the early stages of development, mobile content developers may fall prey to incorrect information supplied to them by so called 'Mobile SEO' experts.
However, this field is also making rapid strides and has made steady progress from the rudimentary stages of development in optimizing a 'wap site' to effectively marketing high-end gadgets like tablet, smartphones and feature phones in a span of a few short years.

Mitsubishi Electric announced the development of industry's first string-searchable encryption software that enables both partial-match searching of encrypted data without decryption in cloud services and access control to ensure information security. Mitsubishi Electric said it plans to introduce its new software in products in the fiscal year 2018 ending March, 2018.
Below is the further details shared by Mitsubishi on this development:
The new software encrypts each character of the registered data and searched keywords. Simultaneously, character position information showing how far the encrypted character is located from the beginning character is embedded into the corresponding ciphertext. The embedded character position can be transposed to match any encrypted text without decryption. In the existing software, character position and other information cannot be embedded in the ciphertext, limiting search results to inflexible exact matches. The new software uses embedded character position information to check if the encrypted keyword exactly matches its corresponding encrypted string of registered data. Character position information helps to facilitate partial-match searches of encrypted data.
Whereas the existing software limits the length of registered data and availability of keywords, the new software does not have such restrictions and therefore can be used for many cloud services.
Access control can be set up at the same time as the encrypting process to limit the personnel allowed to perform searches, ensuring high data security in the case of document sharing. The software prevents inference of keywords because queries for each search-even previously entered keywords-are encrypted into another individual ciphertext.
The encryption technology maintains the cohesion of ciphertexts by preventing them from being separated into individual characters, since computer viruses or malicious administrators can infer characters in registered data and keywords by using "frequent analysis" for each separated character. The new software prevents such misuse to ensure data security as strong as that of the existing software.
Cloud services are becoming even more important with the increasing use of IoT devices and personal data, such as medical records. Cloud services that store and utilize sensitive information or personal data are expected to offer a combination of data security and user conveniences including search functionality. In July 2013, Mitsubishi Electric announced its first searchable encryption platform software for keyword searches of encrypted data in cloud services without requiring decryption, backed by encryption key and data encryption management in company domains for protection against information leaks due to computer viruses or malicious administrators in the cloud.

I've always found pastry quite daunting – making sure everything is measured, chilled, combined, rested and most of all planned properly ahead of time is not exactly compatible with my make-it-up-as-you-go approach to cooking. But fresh from my (sort of) success with making pavlova on Christmas, I did my best to rise to the challenge of making sweet tarts for a food styling and photography session with Sam of Sam Ee Photography and Sabrina of Sabatomic.com.
This time I decided to tackle on of our cookbooks which I've always been a bit intimidated by and have never actually cooked anything from – the Bourke Street Bakery Ultimate Baking Companion. The sweet shortcrust pastry recipe is not difficult but does require a lot of preparation, which is why I'm glad I had the foresight to actually read the recipe beforehand and make it the night before. A warm summer evening is probably not the best time to be making pastry, but I was surprised to see it come together into soft a butter-flecked dough.
After resting the dough for a couple of hours in the fridge to let it 'relax', I rolled and cut it to size for my 10cm tart tins, the kind with the removable base. These were then rested overnight and blind-baked, the next morning along with a tray of mini muffin sized cases, using pie weights to weigh them down. As you can see I baked them a bit too long and some nouveaux casinos en ligne ended up a bit beyond 'golden brown', so a second batch had to be done at the last minute. Not giving the dough a chance to rest resulted (I think) in slightly more shrinkage when baked, but it was still beautifully short and flakey whilst being surprisingly robust. This recipe requires a lot of planning, but the results felt very much worth it.
We each made different fillings, and after a somewhat failed attempt at crème pâtissière (fancy French way of saying custard) I ended up going with the far quicker and simpler chocolate ganache. Topped up with piped whipped cream and a fanned out strawberry the end result did feel a bit like it was from an 80's cookbook! Taste-wise I was concerned it would be a bit too rich, but served with some extra berries and contrasted with the crisp, flakey shortcrust shell it was definitely and tasty, if decadent treat.
Sab made a lemon curd filling and brought blueberries, which made for a wonderful contrast of colours and flavours. This one was both my favourite tart that I photographed, and also my favourite to eat!
Here's a pullback of our basic setup in my living room – we're definitely getting more efficient compared to last time, both in terms of the amount of props we brought out and in timing. I'm starting to feel much more confident with baking, styling and photography, so hopefully there will be a lot more to come!

On the road to the south coast again
November started with a trip to Southampton and ended with a midweek away game at Bournemouth and now in December we are back down to the south coast again to play Brighton in the penultimate away game of 2017.
It's been an incredible week to be a Burnley supporter. Last Saturday we went into our home game against Watford having already accrued 25 points in the Premier League, an incredible return in early December. By the time we left a freezing cold Turf Moor on Tuesday night we'd taken that total to 31, not far short of what's going to be required to stay up this season, and we sat in fourth place.
We loved it and Sky milked it, even more so after Sean Dyche's good mood left him telling us he was the proudest man in Proudsville. The television company even nipped into the Town Hall to talk to the Mayor about it all.
By Wednesday night, we had come back down to earth a bit. Liverpool could only draw against West Brom but that was enough to take them back above us while Tottenham's Wembley win against tomorrow's opponents Brighton saw them move back ahead of us also.
So, we travel to the Sussex coast in 6th place in the Premier League. We've been told we can dream but the manager has made it clear that it is very much business as usual at Turf Moor and Gawthorpe and we will continue training and playing, and showing the same attitude, as we've been doing all season.
In reporting the Stoke game, I reference an interview with Jack Cork from early November. At the time we had 19 points, and Cork said we would maybe try to get to thirty points by Christmas. It was an ideal that, to be honest, I laughed off at the time.
Cork himself recalled it yesterday. Speaking to the press, he commented: "I said a few weeks ago if we could get thirty points by Christmas it would be perfect and set us up for the next half of the year and we could set some new targets."
He added: "To reach thirty points with a few games left this year is great. The next target is now forty points and when we reach that we will try and set more targets from there and try and progress even more. We've got to keep pushing and see how far we can go.
"We've had a great start, it would be a shame if we then decided to give it up. Now we're getting to a point where we could be safe, we need to try and push ourselves on and see how far we can go."
Asked about Europe, he warned: "It's nice to have those dreams and believe those sort of things, but I've been in a team before where we got carried away and started talking above our station and it's come crashing down. We can't get carried away. We need to keep doing the basics and what this team's good at."
Cork, in his third spell with the club after two earlier loans, has settled in well alongside Steven Defour in the midfield. Both players have started every game and Cork has played every single minute in the Premier League this season, a record now matched, following recent injuries, only by James Tarkowski.
Our injury worries are easing. Although long term injury victims Tom Heaton, Dean Marney and Jon Walters remain out of the reckoning there is good news regarding Matt Lowton and Ben Mee, both of who have been passed fit after missing the last four and two games respectively.
Stephen Ward came off just before half time in the Stoke win with a knock on the knee. He will be assessed with Charlie Taylor, who made his Premier League debut as his replacement, standing by.
Last season, for virtually the whole of the season, we had Heaton in goal behind a back four of Lowton, Michael Keane, Mee and Ward. It's incredible to think that all five of them were missing for more than half of Tuesday's win when we kept our eighth clean sheet of the season. It's all about the framework.
At this stage in a match preview, I try to predict the starting line up. I think I can safely select the goalkeeper, the midfield and forwards, but I'm not at all sure about the back four. If Ward is fit, I'm sure he'll continue but what about Lowton and Mee, their deputies have been Phil Bardsley and Kevin Long; both have been excellent.
I'm going to edge my bets this week and we'll select from Nick Pope, Matt Lowton, Phil Bardsley, Kevin Long, James Tarkowski, Ben Mee, Stephen Ward, Charlie Taylor, Jόhann Berg Guðmundsson, Steven Defour, Jack Cork, Scott Arfield, Jeff Hendrick, Chris Wood, Anders Lindegaard, Ashley Westwood, Fredrik Ulvestad, Nahki Wells, Sam Vokes, Ashley Barnes.
When we were promoted in 2016, Brighton ended the season in third place but missed out on promotion in the play-offs. One year on, and with the same 93 points total we achieved in each of our last two promotions, they won promotion to the Premier League as runners-up behind Newcastle and returned to the top flight for the first time since 1983.
They got off to a losing start this season although I don't think anything else could have been expected on the opening weekend with their first fixture against Manchester City. They've done ok and they had moved into the top half of the table by the end of November. Three games without a win since now sees them in 13th place.
They've won four times, twice at home and twice on the road. Their home victories have come against West Brom and Newcastle while on the road they've won at West Ham and Swansea. Glenn Murray (pictured) is their leading goalscorer, he's scored five times, two of those coming from the penalty spot.
Chris Hughton has an almost fully fit squad to select from. Only Steve Sidwell, the midfielder who scored two late goals to deny us victory at Brighton almost 15 years ago, is ruled out and it is thought that Murray and Pascal Gross could both be recalled after being named as substitutes in their midweek game against Spurs.
Brighton lined up at Wembley: Mat Ryan, Ezequiel Schelotto, Lewis Dunk, Shane Duffy, Gaëtan Bong, Anthony Knockaert, Beram Kayal, Dale Stephens, Davy Pröpper, José Izquierdo, Tomer Hemed. Subs: Tim Krul, Bruno Saltor, Connor Goldson, Izzy Brown, Pascal Gross, Solly March, Glenn Murray.
Former Burnley loan player Shane Duffy will line up in defence for Brighton and he'll be up against some players who are familiar to Brighton fans. We signed Ashley Barnes from them in January 2014 but Sam Vokes and Chris Wood have also spent time at the Amex during loan spells, Vokes in 2011/12 and Wood in the previous season when he netted eight goals for them.
Tomorrow will be the first time the two clubs have ever met in the highest division of English football and our last meeting came in the Championship in April of last year and what a game it was with four goals and massive controversy towards the end as Burnley fought to try and get an equaliser.
The name Dale Stephens was one on Burnley lips for some time. A transfer target for the Clarets, he even handed in a transfer request to try and get the move last season but ultimately stayed with Brighton and, on promotion, signed a new long term deal.
That lead didn't last long, three minutes to be exact, when Andre Gray scored from close range after Michael Keane headed a corner into his path.
Brighton had been the better side and right on half time regained the lead when an Anthony Knockaert shot took a deflection off Keane. We couldn't complain and for much of the second half we didn't look likely to get back into it.
Matt Taylor came on and changed things for us with Dean Marney then replacing Jones. Now it was Burnley on top and we put them under some real pressure. With not long to go, we won a corner on the left. Taylor's kick was met by Keane who headed home only for the bemused officials to wave play on despite the ball going so far over the line it was clear from the seats behind the goal.
We weren't to be denied. Deep into stoppage time, Taylor again with a corner from the left found Keane. Once again Keane headed home. This time it counted and we'd won a much deserved and vital point.
The teams were;
Brighton: David Stockdale, Bruno Saltor (Gaëtan Bong 82), Connor Goldson, Lewis Dunk, Liam Rosenior, Anthony Knockaert, Dale Stephens, Beram Kayal, Jamie Murphy, Tomer Hemed (Steve Sidwell 85), Sam Baldock (James Wilson 43). Subs not used: Niki Maenpaa, Gordon Greer, Jiri Skalak, Kazenga LuaLua.
Burnley: Tom Heaton, Matt Lowton, Michael Keane, Ben Mee, Stephen Ward, George Boyd, Joey Barton, David Jones (Dean Marney 72), Scott Arfield (Matt Taylor 66), Sam Vokes, Andre Gray (Ashley Barnes 81). Subs not used: Paul Robinson, Tendayi Darikwa, James Tarkowski, Michael Kightly.Follow UpTheClarets:

For producers in the photovoltaic silicon market space, production yield has become an increasingly critical competitive factor. Depending on the particular type of PV Si technology, there are a number of steps within the manufacturing process where birefringence levels can be used as an early indicator of future panel production yield. Exicor® birefringence measurement technology is a valuable tool for optimizing production yields at these critical upstream stages within PV Si manufacturing:
Stress in Silicon – Hinds scientists, in cooperation with leading single crystal PV Si manufacturing specialists, have documented a significant correlation between birefringence stress levels in early stage Si ingots and down-stream production yield failures.
Stress in Glass – Depending on magnitudes and degree of uniformity, high levels of strain birefringence in the glass substrate used in thin film photovoltaic panels contribute to premature panel breakage, either during production or in the field. The former reduces production yield, while the latter increases warranty costs.

I strongly suspect that many of our nation's circuit court judges worked over the Thanksgiving break, because they're back with nine wins for folks accused of crimes in our nation's federal appellate courts.
It's a potpourri of cases – multiplicity in the sale of Bald Eagle Parts, an innocent spouse issue in a restitution award, the reduction of a fine in an Ernst & Young tax shelter fraud case, and a few Fourth Amendment cases.
Heck, there's even a case on a Rule 41 motion. When's the last time you saw a federal appeals court issue a published opinion on a motion for the return of property?
My great hope for this section of the blog is that it will increase the ease with which folks can monitor cases to send 28(j) letters in federal criminal appeals. This week's list of cases has a lot to offer the criminal appellate advocate. Let's get those 28(j) letters rolling!
To the victories:
1. United States v. Munguia, Ninth Circuit: Appellant was convicted of drug conspiracy and possession. The key issue at trial was whether she knew or had reason to know that the drugs she purchased were being used to manufacture methamphetamine. Given this focus, she requested a jury instruction explaining that "reasonable cause to believe" must be evaluated from her perspective, based on her knowledge and sophistication. Because the district court erred in refusing her request and because the error was not harmless, appellant's conviction was reversed.
2. United States v. Berry, Fifth Circuit: Appellant pled guilty to possessing more than five grams of crack and was sentenced to five years in prison followed by three years of supervised release. Although the acts giving rise to this conviction occurred before the effective date of the Fair Sentencing Act, his sentencing occurred after. For the purposes of appellant's case, the Act was significant because it modified the terms of imprisonment and supervised release applicable to simple crack possession. Because appellant's prison and supervised release terms exceeded the maximum terms under the Act, his sentence was vacated and the case remanded for resentencing.
3. United States v. Wahchumwah, Ninth Circuit: Appellant was convicted of offenses relating to the sale of Golden Eagle parts. Counts 2 and 3 were related to the sale of eagle tails and counts 4 and 5 were related to the sale of eagle plumes. Because counts 2 and 3 and 4 and 5, respectively, prohibited the same offenses, and because Congress did not intend to allow multiple punishments for a single tail or plume sale, the case was remanded for the district court to vacate count 2 or 3 and 4 or 5.
4. United States v. Cervantes, Ninth Circuit: Police officers performed a warrantless search of appellant's car that led to the discovery of cocaine. The search was not justified under (1) the automobile exception, which allows officers to search a car and the containers within it where they have probable cause to believe contraband or evidence is contained, or (2) the community caretaking exception, which permits officers to impound cars that jeopardize public safety and the efficient movement of traffic. Because the warrantless search was not justified by an exception to the warrant requirement, the district court erred in denying appellant's motion to suppress the cocaine. Accordingly, the Ninth Circuit reversed the lower court's denial of the motion and remanded the case.
5. United States v. I.E.V., Ninth Circuit: Appellant was a passenger in his brother's car when they entered a United States Border Patrol checkpoint. At the checkpoint, a police dog alerted that the car contained drugs or concealed people. After a search of the car revealed no contraband, an officer frisked appellant and, without his permission, lifted appellant's shirt and found a brick of marijuana. Because the officer was not justified in frisking appellant, and because the frisk exceeded its constitutional scope, the district court erred in denying appellant's motion to suppress the marijuana. Consequently, the court's decision was reversed and the case remanded with instructions to grant the motion to suppress.
6. United States v. Coplan, et. al, Second Circuit: Five appellants were convicted of fraud-related crimes arising out of their development and defense of tax shelters that were sold or implemented by Ernst & Young. The convictions of appellants Shapiro and Nissenbaum were reversed on counts 1-3 because of the insufficiency of the evidence of appellants' intent. Nissenbaum's conviction on count 4 – obstruction of the IRS – was also reversed because the record reflected that a reasonable jury would have had a reasonable doubt as to whether he corruptly obstructed or impeded the IRS. Finally, the portion of appellant Bolton's sentence imposing a $3 million fine was vacated because it exceeded the statutory maximum. On remand, the fine was to be reduced to the $250,000 statutory maximum.
7. United States v. Duran, Eleventh Circuit: After appellant was convicted of conspiring to defraud Medicare, the government secured a substantial restitution judgment. The government obtained a writ of execution against an apartment that, according to property records, was owned jointly by appellant and his former wife. The former wife argued that because she was the sole owner of the apartment before her former husband's prosecution, the government could not look to the apartment for restitution. The district court refused to adjudicate the wife's motion. This was error. Consequently, the order denying the former wife's motion was vacated and the case remanded.
8. United States v. Delgado, Seventh Circuit: Appellant's convictions for being a felon in possession of a firearm and possession of an unregistered firearm were the result of police officers' warrantless search of his apartment. Because the search was not a valid protective sweep and was not justified by the exigent circumstances exception to the warrant requirement, the district court erred in denying appellant's motion to suppress the firearms. For these reasons, appellant's convictions were vacated and the case remanded to the district court with instructions to grant the suppression motion.
9. United States v. Bailey, Eighth Circuit: As a result of appellant's arrest on prostitution-related charges, his property was seized and eventually transferred to a U.S. Attorney's Office. After his conviction was upheld on appeal, he filed a motion for the return of his property under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41. At a hearing, the district court determined that the government no longer possessed the property and denied appellant's motion to convert the action into a civil claim for damages. Under these circumstances, the court was required to give appellant an opportunity to assert such a civil claim. Accordingly, the court's ruling was reversed and the case remanded.

It's nearly impossible to open a newspaper or flip on a world news station without coming across a story covering China's economic growth within the last few years. With consistent annual growth rates of around 10 percent for the last decade and the title of country that is the largest global exporter of goods, the nation is an industrial powerhouse that is understandably the aim of many companies considering international expansion.
Watching China's meteoric rise throughout the last few decades has been fascinating, but recent news about slowing growth begs the question: What's next for this emerging economy? Is growth sustainable? What factors will come into play and what challenges will develop for those looking to do business in this opportunity rich nation?
Global interconnectedness and the impact of a linked world economy
Economies traditionally viewed as cornerstones for worldwide economic health are faltering. The Eurozone is teetering on the brink of crisis, while the United States hopes to avert a double-dip recession. But China can no longer count on remaining insulated from these issues. Our integrated world economy does not allow for any one country to function as an island. Economic trouble, whether in a G8 country or in a tiny, far-flung nation, causes a ripple effect worldwide.
In China's case, the impact of a world economy in turmoil could be particularly devastating. As the globe's single largest exporter of goods, shrinking buying power in places like the U.S. and Europe reduces consumer demand, meaning a reduced need for the nation's low-cost products. China has a vested interest in the positive growth of economies worldwide
Dealing with internal deficiencies
While China's push in recent years has been to boost economic strength, rapid growth is beginning to catch up with its inadequate infrastructure and internal state of affairs. Lax environmental regulations, sharp income inequality and an overloaded national pension system are just some of the issues that this still emerging nation needs to tackle in order to maintain consistent growth.
The Chinese government is working to address these issues through reform. While its 12th five-year plan, released March 2011, is heavily focused on sustaining the country's extraordinary success (targeting an annual GDP of 7 percent), the plan also outlines several objectives around improving infrastructure and improving quality of life for the average Chinese citizen. Some highlights include: developing the western regions of the country, investing in priority industries (clean energy, biotech, high-end manufacturing and more), reducing pollution, increasing life expectancy, developing affordable housing units, and boosting the service sector.
A challenging environment with huge opportunities
Though China is working to improve its infrastructure, it's a market that is still notoriously difficult for foreign companies to break into. This is not likely to change; in fact, it may become more difficult as the country works to cultivate more sophisticated, native industries, rather than looking to overseas businesses to take the lead.
While no one has a crystal ball that can tell us what will happen next, the writing on the wall is pretty clear: China is an arriving economic superpower, presenting huge potential returns for businesses looking at overseas expansion. A potential investor need only look at recent economic numbers and predictions for growth to know that expansion to China, though challenging, can be a worthwhile investment. Such expansion however should be undertaken with diligent planning and much forethought.

Vectren Conservation Park
The Vectren Conservation Park
Students in Environmental Studies have the chance to study in an outdoor lab close to home thanks to a generous gift from Vectren.
In 2007, Vectren gave the University of Evansville a long-term lease on 1,100 acres of bottomland along the Wabash River. This property had been used for agriculture, but is now in a permanent conservation easement and is enrolled in the U.S. Natural Resource Conservation Service's Wetlands Reserve program. Before leasing the property to UE, Vectren planted more than 100,000 native trees and shrubs on the property.
In addition, the University is working to develop part of the site into a wetland prairie. When completed, Vectren Conservation Park will have a diverse set of terrestrial habitats (including riparian forests, floodplain forests, a prairie, as well as meadows colonized by both native and nonnative species) and aquatic habitats (including the Wabash River, seasonal and permanent ponds, and wetlands). This site not only provides opportunities for environmental studies majors to explore a diverse set of Indiana communities, but also acts as a research lab to explore environmental questions, carry out ecological research, and evaluate soil and water chemistry.

IoT and the senior citizen
I have not written for a while, spent a few days in vacation in Rhodes in a family trip - album is available on facebook, and then I was busy preparing a presentation for the board of directors of the college which sponsors the "Institute of Technological Empowerment" which I am now working on establishment. The presentation is in Hebrew, have not made a lot of presentations in Hebrew recently, and intend to create an English version to share it with larger audience. When I'll do, I'll post it on slideshare.
I came across a blog post by Stephenson Strategies entitled: "Seniors and the Internet of Things: Empowerment and Security". As a matter of fact senior citizen are one of the target populations of the institute I am trying to establish, and we are working with experts in gerontology. The Internet of Things provides opportunities to empower aging population to maintain independent life in various means, by using smart systems that receives events from sensors and determine actions, which are mostly alerts to the person, family, healthcare taker and more. The cited post relates to health issues, but this can extend to other issues that can improve quality of life and increase the person's security. I'll write more about concrete projects we are planning later.

Minot is a quaint town in North Dakota that's about an hour away from the border of Canada. Over the past century the town has undergone many changes. It was once called the "Magic City" due to its rapid growth, but was renamed "Little Chicago" since it became a hotbed of criminal activity when Prohibition was in full swing. Today it is more known for its rather large population of Scandinavian ancestry with a few nature reserves in close proximity. When you're in the area you should make it a point to try some of the best food in Minot by visiting downtown Minot restaurants. You won't be disappointed.
Try the Local Favorites
Whether you're looking for upscale or casual dining you'll find it in downtown Minot. Be sure to try local favorites including smoked pheasant and perfectly seasoned and cooked steaks. You'll soon understand why the name "Magic City" is being resurrected by satisfied restaurants guests in the area. Get a great taste of the local lore when you visit steakhouses that reflect a rugged and wild atmosphere that clearly resembles North Dakota's Badlands National Park. From the first bite of deliciously grilled steak to the last sip of wine you'll experience the best dining downtown Minot has to offer.
You're Welcome in the Badlands
Just as the memorable 26th president Theodore Roosevelt felt romanced by Minot, North Dakota so will you when you step within the Badlands Restaurant and Bar. You'll get a feel for the rugged nature of the badlands while enjoying freshly prepared dishes that range from steak, seafood, pasta and chicken to a variety of classic comfort dishes. Be sure to top a great appetizer off with a wide range of tantalizing wines, beer and liquor that are sure to satisfy your cravings. Are you interested in hosting party? Just be sure to schedule your time for a special party room and get ready to celebrate any festive occasion in style and comfort.

Arabs do not want Jews to own or control land in the Middle East.
Everything else - pretending to care about Palestinian refugees, or about "war crimes", or "international law" or "UN resolutions" - are all lies, window dressing to cover the naked bigotry that stands behind all the bluster. Arab Muslims cannot stomach the weak dhimmi Jews owning any tiny bit of land that was ever under Muslim control. No matter how legally it is acquired, Arabs would be just as livid at the thought of Jews owning land as they are today about "occupation."
Jews are OK as long as they subject themselves to living as second-class citizens in Arab countries, paying their jizya. But once they actually try to act as if they have any real rights, well, that is not acceptable to the mentality of the vast majority of Arabs.
The root of the conflict is pure bigotry against Jews.
It is not even clear if any Jews were interested in leasing (not buying!) the land mentioned in this article, or if it was only a rumor. This doesn't slow down the vitriol, as thousands of Arabs rally against the possibility of Jews controlling any land in sacred Muslim territory.
Notice how at that time the Arabs are not shy in saying their opposition is to Jews, not Zionists; that they call the legal transfer of land "robbery" when it is to Jews; and the now familiar method of subtly threatening the West (in this case, Britain) if they don't cave to the Arab demands.
To understand the Middle East today, read this article from 72 years ago very carefully.
In an ironic footnote, one can find one other mention of Ghor Al Kabad in Transjordan in 1939, where Jews help out the Emir who owns land in the controversial area:
Yes, it truly is awful to let Jews touch "sacred Arab land."

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
Abu Awn [rahimahullah] said: When the people of Khayr [i.e. the pious, upright] used to meet, they would advise one another with three [affairs] and when they were absent [from each other], some of them used to write to others, [saying], "Whoever acts for the sake of the afterlife, Allaah will suffice him with his worldly affairs". "Whoever rectifies what is between him and Allaah [i.e. obedience to Allaah and fear of Him etc], Allaah will suffice him with the people [i.e. Allaah will protect him]". "And whoever rectifies his secret affairs, Allaah will rectify his outward affairs". [Al-Musannaf 7/165]

How to elicit algebraic thinking in students before eighth grade
by Laura Pappano
Introducing letters to represent quantities, as in these first-grade math problems, helps students prepare for algebra. (Source: Curriculum Research and Development Group, Univ. of Hawaii)
It's Crazy Hair Day at Marshall Elementary School in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood—which is perfect, because Tufts University researcher Bárbara Brizuela has brought a hat.
In the stovepipe style and made from oaktag paper, the hat is one foot tall. Brizuela then asks, "If I'm five and a half feet tall, how tall will I be with the hat on?" Second-grader Jasmine, smiley in a pink sweatsuit, answers, "Six and a half feet." Rather than say, "Right!" Brizuela offers another question: "How do you know?"
Thus begins a math conversation that researchers like Brizuela believe may hold the key to tackling one of our biggest school bugaboos: algebra. As they talk, Jasmine uses words, bar graphs, and a table to describe how tall each person they discuss will be if they put on the hat. Jasmine creates a rule—"add one foot to the number you already had"—and applies it to an imaginary person 100 feet tall.

Beautiful, delicate looking flowers. They came in great condition. I only wish the blooms were slightly larger. I waited 3-4 days but the blooms never got much larger.
Half of the flowers were perfect and half were...ok.
Flowers arrived on time and looked lovely. The conversation with the specialist was a bit odd but otherwise things were great.
Flowers were delivered a day early which caused a few of them to not be wilted on the day of the wedding. Most of the flowers were beautiful.
The flowers came packaged beautifully and with no damage. All were good quality.

This dish was simply delightful! The hemp hearts adds a slight nutty taste with virtually no carbs. We both gave it two thumbs up in the flavor department! It was simple, in the oven in 15 minutes and bakes itself to perfection! This will definitely make my regular chicken recipe rotations again! It made, as you can see in the photo, lovely pan juices for basting during cooking and drizzling over the meat when done. This recipe is suitable for Phase 2 of Atkins once you have reached the grains level of the plan, as it has half of a Joseph's pita bread in the ingredients line-up. You could use flax meal instead of the 1/2 pita and enjoy this recipe by the nuts and seeds level of Phase 2. This recipe is not suitable for Atkins Induction or Primal-Paleo followers.
Many delicious low-carb recipes like this one can be at your fingertips with your very own cookbooks from LOW CARBING AMONG FRIENDS, by Jennifer Eloff and low-carb friends. Chef George Stella also brings you a wealth of delicious recipes you will love! Order yours TODAY! from Amazon or our direct order site: http://amongfriends.us/order.php.

2 medium chicken breasts, skin on but rib frame removed (boil the ribs for delicious stock!)
2 T. unsalted butter
4 large mushrooms, chopped or sliced
2 c. spinach, chopped (1 c. packed)
2 T. Boursin soft cheese, garlic and fine herb variety
3 T. shredded Monterrey Jack
1/2 Joseph's Flax and Oat Bran Pita Bread, softened with water (or 1 low-carb flour tortilla)
2 T. hemp hearts
Dash coarse black pepper
DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350º. Run a sharp knife between the rib bones and the chicken meat to remove the rib bones from the breast. Boil them down for delicious chicken stock for future uses. I freeze mine. With a large knife, laterally slice the breast 3/4 of the way through making a pocket or shelf for the filling. Place them in a lightly oiled baking dish and set aside. In a non-stick skillet, heat the butter and saute the mushrooms until no longer opaque. Add the spinach and saute just until it is limp. Stir in the Boursin and Jack cheese. Turn off heat. Add the hemp hearts and stir filling well to blend the cheese. With your fingers, mush up the softened bread and add it, stirring again. Spoon half the mixture into each breast and fold the skin half over the filling. Press lightly and sprinkle with pepper. Pop the pan into a 350º oven and bake for about 1 hour (less time for small breasts, more for large ones). When the skin has browned nicely on top, they should be done. Serve in the baking dish pan so the pan juices can be dipped over the top if desired. 🙂
