Carol O'Connell's Mallory novels
By Lindsay Roseberry, Reference Librarian
Have you read all three of The Girl Who books? Looking for a new Salander? Perhaps you should try the books by Carol O'Connell featuring Mallory. Kathy Mallory was an eleven year old foundling living on the streets when she was rescued by New York police detective Markowitz. As she grew up, she continued to lack many social skills, including empathy, conversation and humor. She is considered by some a sociopath. One review stated that Mallory is the original Salander. The novels are all full of twists and turns and interesting characters.
The books, in order are Mallory's Oracle (1994), The Man Who Cast Two Shadows (1995), Killing Critics (1996), Stone Angel (1997), Shell Game (1999), Crime School (2002), The Jury Must Die (2003), Winter House (2004), Find Me (2006) and the most recent book The Chalk Girl (2011). Our library has the entire series.
Three Parts Dead by Max Gladstone
By Lindsay Roseberry, Reference Librarian
In this imaginative steam-punk fantasy, the god Kos, protector of Alt Coulumb, has died and must be revived before the city falls apart. Kos the Everburning literally keeps the city going—holding up the city's infrastructure, as well as answering the prayers of his church and clergy. Tara Abernathy, a new intern, and her boss, Mrs. Kevarian (from the investigative firm Kelethras, Albrecht and Ao) have come to Alt Coulumb to find out how Kos died and revive him. Tara and Mrs. Kevarian are magical investigators who solve problems. They have run into a big one. Kos was murdered—who would be able to murder a god? Any why?
One reviewer suggested that if the authors Roger Zelazny, Neil Gaiman and John Grisham had collaborated on a book, something like Three Parts Dead would be the result. I'd like to add Jim Butcher and possibly Terry Pratchett to this list as well.
Will Tara, with the help of the priest Abelard and Justice Cat(herine) and the despised gargoyles, find out what happened to Kos and bring him back? Will the city survive if they can't? Why did someone wipe the vampire privateer's mind? Is Justice truly blind? And most importantly, when will the sequel come out?! Remarkable that this is Gladstone's first novel.

How to Teach Your Baby to Read by Glenn and Janet Doman
By Liz Arrambide, Children's Librarian
Occasionally families ask us what books do we have to teach very young children how to read. Most of the books we carry are designed for older children. Megan Sheridan has written an excellent article on this blog explaining fun ways to teach basic early literacy skills.
For families that want to teach their young children (under age six) how to read there is an excellent book: "How to Teach Your Baby to Read: the gentle revolution" by Glenn Doman and Janet Doman. Glenn Doman and his research team started in the 1950's to see what they could do to help children with brain injuries increase their capacity to learn. The researchers learned that their methods helped the children to learn to read. They were surprised to find that a brain damaged child could read at ages three and four when their peers could not.
The institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential began to theorize that very young children seem to be learning differently than children who are six years or older. A child learns language by being shown an object and then being told the name of the object. The team experimented and found that this type of learning can be extended to teaching a child to read. Very young children can learn that the sound "ball", a physical ball and the word "ball" all mean the same thing. Their in-depth research showed that this facility of the brain disappears at age six.
As a young mother, I was intrigued with this book. I tried their methods with my then two and half year old child. We had a lot of fun and she learned to read really well. When she started Kindergarten, she tested at a third grade reading level. I've tutored others in reading since then. It was much easier for my daughter to learn to read using this method. She didn't have to be taught about "consonant blends" or the "er" sound etc. She didn't go through these stages. For interested families, this revised edition offers a fun and easy way to teach very young children to read.
Eragon Series by Christopher Paolini
By Lindsay Roseberry, Reference Librarian
Christopher Paolini had an idea for a book in high school. Lucky for us all he started writing a fantasy novel featuring a young boy named Eragon who finds one of the world's last dragons. Eragon and the dragon Saphira learn how to work together throughout the series, which enables them to fight the evil king Galbatorix. He has several setbacks, saves his village and his brother who becomes a warrior in his own right. Those of us who finished all four books (originally there were supposed to be only three) were happy to find out that Paolini will revisit Alagaesia again. If you are looking for something to read after Hunger Games, Twilight and Harry Potter, I suggest you revisit The Inheritance Cycle featuring Eragon and Saphira. The first volume is titled Eragon. Volumes two Eldest and three Brisingr followed not quickly enough for most of us waiting impatiently. The final volume Inheritance came out last fall.

During the past 20 years improved technical approaches to the manufacture of synthetic fuels from oil shale, tar sands and coal have made each of these sources a potential contender for a share of the liquid fuel market in the U. S. Here is a comparison of some of the factors that could influence their competitive position.
Liquid Fuels Trends
A comparison of oil shale, tar sands, and coal is rather academic unless there is a need for synthetic fuels. A forecast of liquid fuels supply and demand is shown in Fig. 1.
For oil demand we have selected the median projection of Lansberg, Fishman and Fisher from their projection of Lansberg, Fishman and Fisher from their study entitled, "Resources in America's Future". This estimate is a composite of projections available to these authors at the time (1962) and has been confirmed by the President's interdepartmental Energy Study Group in their report entitled, "Energy R and D and National Progress", published in 1965. Oil consumption in 1966 exceeded this forecast by about a quarter of a billion barrels, therefore it can be reasonably presumed to be a conservative projection, even considering the effect of the Vietnam war.
Stewart Udall, as Secretary of the Interior, suggested in an address to the National Petroleum Council in Feb., 1967, that imports should be limited to 30 percent of demand. Line 4 on Fig. 1 projects the production of domestic liquid fuels required if production of domestic liquid fuels required if imports are limited to 30 percent of demand.
M. King Hubbert, a noted Shell Oil Co. scientist (retired) and a member of the Committee on Natural Resources of the National Academy of Sciences, has studied intensively the patterns of oil discovery and production. He had concluded that the peak rate of production. He had concluded that the peak rate of discovery in the United States was reached in 1956 and that the peak rate of production would be reached about 1967. In our projection in Fig. 1, we use a later date (1973) for peak production, primarily because there is no alternative source of liquid fuels to fill the gap, and the oil required to meet demand during this period probably will be available from new fields in Alaska and from domestic production derived by further relaxing prorationing in Texas and Louisiana.
The hatched area in Fig. 1 is an approximation of the market potential for liquid fuels from nonconventional sources. This could amount to 700,000 B/D by 1975 and 4,800,000 B/D by 1985.
The trend clearly points to an opportunity and indeed a need for synthetic fuels if their economics can justify them. Our paper considers this question and the relative merits of each source.
The potential reserves of hydrocarbon in oil shale, tar sand and coal suitable for conversion to synthetic oil are very large. Even those only remotely familiar with the subject have heard of the trillions of barrels of shale oil and our thousands of years of coal reserves. Tar sands also come in hundred-billion barrel numbers. As with the gold in sea water, these quantities are meaningless.

colonel mustard replied to Sienna4po's topic in Sienna ClubI sanded and painted my wheels for less than $10. I'm over it...I am going to do pumpkins on my wheels for this Halloween. As my doorhandles break, I am going to buy new black handles so it looks natural. Notice the repainted hood and the GI Joe arm hanging on to the antenae.

Alternative to carpet in my Sienna
colonel mustard replied to colonel mustard's topic in Sienna Clubhere are pictures of my flooring...
I posted some pictures of my flooring solution...
My alternative to carpet in my 98 Sienna
colonel mustard replied to colonel mustard's topic in Sienna ClubOh I also had a problem with my hood paint bubbling off during the hurricanes about two years ago. Again, I went to ACE hardware and got some paint stripper and some scrapers. I cleared the remaining paint and repainted the hood myself. I took it all the way down to the bare metal. Then, I layered on about five coats of ospho rust inhibitor solution. Next, I used hunter green spray primer. ("Stop Rust" Brand) I waited a couple of days then found the exact matching paint in a can at Discount Auto parts. I was really psyched. A friend of a friend said he couldn't paint the hood for less then $300 dollars. I killed that price.
My alternative to carpet in my 98 Sienna
colonel mustard posted a topic in Sienna ClubI had mentioned months ago that I was tired of the carpet smelling and getting nasty from football, soccer, and baseball cleats and gear, not to mention spills and just plain old wear and tear. So, I took out the carpet and replaced it with rubber gym floor mats. The mats are 3/4" and fit perfectly under the rubber side panels and wall pieces. It is so easy to clean and mop out if it gets dirty. Carpet is totally overrated and not really useful in a van/truck. Notice how I took out the back row of seats and made cut out holes for them. I get 23 mpg and I believe it is partly due to the less weight because I have the seats out. I threw in a shot of the outside of the van too. I just recently went to Sears and after having this van for 8 years drove home after having two new tires put on. Well, I got home and one of my wheel covers had come off somewhere along the way. Sears also broke off one of the lug posts. Didn't even tell me either. Well, they fixed the lug for free, but wouldn't budge on buying me a set of covers. So, I went to ACE and spent $5 bucks on two cans of glossy black spray paint and painted the rims. First I cleaned, scraped, and sanded down the rims and got them sparkling. Then, I sprayed them. I like the look. My wife is still a little on the fence about it. The price was right. Hopefully the pics uploaded correctly!
I too have found ways to spill the unspillable...My huge mugs with lids dont fit in the standard size cup holders so I have to wedge stuff around the cup and hope that I dont have to pull a "Fast and Furious" maneuver into work...
Electric door lock problem
colonel mustard posted a topic in Sienna ClubI use the key two turns back, one turn forward...nothing. The elcectric door lock wont engage and lock the driver side passenger door. I had to replace the door handle on the driver side and I may have disconnected something...any ideas on how to fix this. All other doors work fine.
sienna motor durability
colonel mustard replied to spinedoc's topic in Sienna Clubyes...beware...the engines are the same as they use in the more powerful Camry passenger cars...but...We have a 98 sienna and we were a part of the oil sludge law suit settlement case. The engine on ours went bad three years ago. We had to pay $3000 for a new used one. That is the bad news. The good news: Because we were a part of the suit the $3000 was given back to us and we were given a slightly used motor with 60k on it. Plus I got to drive a 07 Pontiac Rental car for a week. The thing about the Sienna engines as it was explained to me is this: If the vehicle that was affected by the oil sludge issue was not properly cared for and the oil was not changed at regular prescribed intervals then it had the high possibility of having oil sludge issues. Which most did. It was said that the first 50K miles was the important period. Our 98 was a leased vehicle that was then sold at auction and bought by a dude in Orlando. We got it from him, but the damage had already been done. It now has 168k miles and running strong. No problems at all.
Check out my posts about how to get rid of the carpet...$1600 for carpet is a rip off...Do my solution and you will be fine...I would buy some heavy duty silicone caulk and maybe take off the plastic inner shield so you can see where the liquid is coming in and just overdo it with the caulk. Check the antenae area for holes and around the windshield. Sometimes the liners get brittle especially in cold climates. Check with your insurance company and tell them your wind shield is leaking and really dangerous...you are afraid of something shorting out in the dash...They may be able to help you. Be honest and good luck. james
I drive about six miles and the light that warns of tire inflation and pressure keeps coming on. It is on an easy banking gradual turn that it turns on. Any ideas out there as to why...I have checked the tire pressure in all five tires (spare included).
Dont drink coffee...! :o) I used to spill OJ and or whatever was in my huge...American Choppers 7-11 mug. Then I got a mug with a turn lock top. Perfect...And if you ever check out the Honda Element it is the factory flooring in their vehicle. It really does make sense. who thought of carpet in a vehicle? That was not a smart innovation. So both of my vehicles are capable of being blown out with a leaf blower...and mopped. I love it.
Low Beam headlights
colonel mustard replied to el malo's topic in Sienna ClubI do not know what the problem is but I do know how to fix it. Our 98 Sienna had the same problem last Thanksgiving when we were driving at night from Cocoa Beach,Fl to Savannah, Ga. for a weekend getaway. It was 10:30 pm or so and I was driving along I-95 going about 75 mph and I rolled over a simple bump on the road. At that instant my low beam lights went out completely. I immeadiatly tried switching and flicking on and off...nothing worked. So I hit the high beams. They worked but I have never seen so many birds flying at night since then. So we had to ride around only in the day time while up there. Your problem is common with the Sienna. I had a friend that helped me fix the short term issue of having no low beam lights. He helped me by switching the low beam light wire to where the high beams were coming in. So I had low beams...then I took it to my main mechanic and he simply disconnected both lights from their factory housing and did a straight hard wire to the power source. The result is I have high and low beams now. The high beam light does not light up on my dash but I am not concerned about that. I hope this helps... James
Alternative to carpet in my Sienna
colonel mustard posted a topic in Sienna ClubMy family and I take long trips in our Sienna. It is the perfect travel van. I drive without the third row of seats to save a little on gas (removing extra weight helps). So, then I decided that I had had enough of the cleats wrecking the carpet and the spills and all the other stuff that gets ground into the carpet. So what I did was I took out all the seats and layed in the rubber interlocking heavy duty gym floor mats. Three wide fit perfect. So, I cut out the carpet and put in the rubber mats all the way up to the driver and front passenger seat. I then marked and cut out the four holes for the rear seats to clip in. Bah dah bing....I love my van and it is so easy to take care of...not to mention it smells cleaner and fresher. The best thing of all was that the mats were given to me so it cost me zero dollars. If you try this measure them out first. I have the biggest mats... and using them right they slide right under the plastic edges just like where the carpet would have gone. Go for the 1/2" thick variety or thicker if you can find them. I did not glue them down either. The weight of the seats and other stuff holds them in place plus the locking type hold themselves in place well enough. Hope it helps... james

A worrying number of my co-workers have decided to mark 2014 by sharing infectious diseases with the entire office.
As a protective measure I have decided that dotty nail art would let me pretend that I have measles and encourage my plague-bearing colleagues to take their germs elsewhere.
I love the dainty look of these nails, the cute colour contrast and the fact they are so darn pretty. But these simply won't deter my co-workers enough, in fact they are such a gorgeous mani that they might attract ill co-workers who are looking for a morale boost. These are a 2 out of 10 for terrifying co-workers.
(Photo from blog.flauntme.com)
Grey base colour is not normally something I like, but the different colour dots off-set the grey whilst keeping the overall look understated and classy. This does mean that they won't scare my co-workers so 4 out of 10, although possibly 6 out of 10 if I did a red and yellow combination version.
(Photo from wrappedupinrainbows.blogspot.co.uk)
These have potential, they look slightly like they belong to a well manicured zombie. They imply a classy type of infection. These are a 7 out of 10 for encourage ill co-workers to go elsewhere.
(Photo from nailtreasures.tumblr)
I love these, they look like I've been exposed to radioactive material and might blow up at any minute. These are a 8 out of 10 of the freaked out co-worker scale!

5 Tips to Survive Your First Job
Starting your first job is a new and possibly scary experience, so here are five tips on how to get through your first day and thrive in your new work environment.
- Get Organised
Before starting your first job, be sure you are organised to hit the ground running. This includes showing up a little bit early, being in uniform or dressed appropriately, being aware of any deadlines or events coming up and setting up your workspace so you feel organised and ready to go daily.
- Work on Positive Self-Talk
First job nerves are very normal, and it takes a bit of practice to learn how to use these nerves positively. You should practise positive self-praise and give yourself credit where credit is due – this will help you become much more confident which will help eliminate your nerves. Learning how to control your self-doubt and turn it into something constructive and positive will have a big impact on your success. Remember that everyone has been in your starting position, and the more you practise positive self-talk, the easier it gets.
- Don't be Afraid to Ask for Help
Entering the workforce for the first time can be scary and you may feel overwhelmed. People may be afraid to ask for help because they feel like a burden and feel like needing help is a sign of weakness. However, asking for help when you aren't sure of what to do is a sign of confidence and strength. It also shows you are willing to learn and don't want to make mistakes.
- Make Some Friends
Chances are you're going to be spending a lot of time with your new co-workers and surviving your first job will be a lot easier (and a lot more fun) if you get on well with your colleagues. While they don't need to be your best friends, developing a bond with your colleagues is important if you don't want to feel alone. Go out for the occasional lunch or coffee. Be sure to ask questions about their lives – you never know, but you may have a lot more in common with these people than you originally thought. Working with people you get along with can impact your mood significantly.
- Back Yourself
Most importantly, don't worry! You are going to make mistakes, especially in the first few weeks, but everyone knows that you are new to this and nobody expects you to perform incredible feats straight away. So, before you panic, remember that no one is perfect, everyone must start somewhere, and you're allowed a few mistakes (just as long as you learn from these mistakes).

Frequently Asked Dog Daycare Questions
What is required to have a FREE daycare evaluation?
All dogs must be spayed or neutered, current on all vaccines, and on a veterinarian approved flea and tick preventative.
What is the ratio of people to dogs?
Meadowlake follows the highest standards which requires a minimum of one counselor for every 15 dogs.
Is there someone with the dogs at all times?
Yes. During Daycare play hours, your pet is never left alone. The Daycare counselors constantly monitor behavior so that each dog is comfortable and having fun!
How are dogs of different sizes accommodated?
At Meadowlake, we typically have two seperate daycare groups. Smaller, lower energy dogs are grouped together based on play style. While larger, higher energy dogs are grouped together for a better fit of their play style. Occasionally, we are able to combine the groups, but only do so when we are 100% positive that the personalities and play styles will match well.
Is there a nap time?
All dogs need rest after strenuous play and stimulation. Due to the strenuous play and stimulation, all dogs will be encouraged to take mid-day naps from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. Daycare guests will enjoy sharing quiet time with lavender aromatherapy and comfy beds mid-day with their friends.
What kind of "report" do I get at the end of the day?
When your dog attends daycare, we will provide you with daily communication about their performance. We will let you know how they are playing with their friends, what activities they enjoy most, and what positive developments we notice as they mature. These daily conversations allow us to keep you informed regarding your dog's social skills and developing behaviors.
Is there training involved? If so, what kind?
Dog Daycare counselors reinforce positive behaviors throughout the day. While participating in daycare, dogs are encouraged to exhibit appropriate play styles, to respond to their name quickly, and practice basic obedience and manners.
- Practicing Recall - Counselors call dog's name during play and ask them to "come"
- Positive Reinforcement - Pats and cuddles to reward appropriate behaviors
- Quick Time-Outs - Counselors use time-outs to demonstrate that certain behaviors are not tolerated while playing. For example: guarding toys, bullying, mounting, excessive mouthing ,excessive barking, etc. Time outs are also used to provide dogs a quick moment to calm themselves down in order to prevent over-excitement. During a time-out, dogs are placed inside a crate, on a leash, or in a cottage.
Meadowlake offers many training programs to help with obedience, socialization or specialized concerns. Call today to set up your FREE Training Evaluation.
Where are the dogs allowed to eliminate?
288 South
The groups spend a significant amount of time outdoors in fields. During extreme temperatures or weather, they are taken outside often where they are encouraged to eliminate. However, there may be occasional indoor eliminations, which are picked up immediately and cleaned with a disinfectant to prevent the spread of germs or virus.
Galleria Area
Raised indoor potty areas are provided throughout each play room. With turf and hydrants to simulate the outdoors; pups are encourage to eliminate in these designated areas. All eliminations are picked up immediately and cleaned with a disinfectant to prevent the spread of germs or virus.

Growing up, I was accustomed to hearing: "What shall it profit a man?". It was always followed with: "to gain the whole world and loose his soul".
All my young mind could muster was that I needed to do everything possible to keep my soul, and stay away from hell fire.
Now, I am grown. I scuff at the idea. Not because I think hell fire is overated, but because I've change that -stupid- question.
I ask:
What shall it profit a man to lose the whole world and gain his soul?
Still a stupid question. But, the change is perspective is more than worth it.
When you feel your soul eaten away by ridicule, shame, and fear. You begin to imagine that hell fire might not be such a bad place. Your world has become just what you feared the most -hell. And, one day you wake up and realise that the soul you've been trying to protect is gone.
Losing the world – Its rules, its codes and its norms – is an indispensible philosophy. You need to find yourself and have yourself to enjoy the world.
Losing the world doesn't imply you reject it; It simply means you know what to dismiss and what to hold on to.
Enjoy my blog.
You are awesome.

Week Three Fitness Update from Kristin
By Kristin
Yes! I can finally say I see results. I tried on a shirt that I had hiding in the back of my closet and it actually fit. No more buttons hanging on for dear life.
Exercise is once again becoming part of my routine. When I first made the commitment to work out 4 times a week I did not know where I was going to find the time. As the saying goes, you make time for what you want and each week I am able to find time because I am no longer exhausted when I come home.
I still have hard days especially on those days when I don't make it home until 8pm and still have to work out. However, those days when I just want to sit down and do nothing are some of my best work outs these, are the days I push myself extra hard.
In the end I am not disappointed my reward is felt in my tired and used muscles and an overall sense of wellbeing.

Feng Shui Tips for Your Bed and Bedroom
Posted on 30th October 2013 by Robes and Rails
Whether you're a Feng Shui enthusiast, or a complete novice, everyone can learn something from the guidelines which govern the movement, particularly when it comes to designing your bedroom.
According to the Feng Shui movement, the arrangement and positioning of our belongings can largely affect our health, relationships, success and wealth, with the sole aim to balance energy levels in order to achieve optimal happiness and productivity.
So considering all the ways it can enhance your lifestyle, you'd have thought it would be rather complex and difficult to achieve. But think again. Feng Shui builds on simple, subtle changes to your interior that promotes a harmonious and nourishing environment.
We've listed some of these simple steps you can follow to enhance or achieve a calming, sensual, relaxing bedroom environment.
- Position your bed so it's not in direct line with the door, but you can still see it. If you can still see it then in Feng Shui guidelines, it's thought that you're facing your opportunity.
- If, on the other hand, the door is straight in front of you when lying on the bed, this is known as the 'coffin' position and represents how the dead are carried out of the house through the door. This does not promote a restful sleep and also exposes you to chi (invisible energy) throughout the night, which again will not create a peaceful sleep.
- Ideally, the head of the bed should be placed against a wall, not a window, to promote positive energy.
- For chi to flow around your bedroom, the bed should be open on three sides and not pushed up against a wall.
- There should be equal spaces either side of the bed For instance, if you have a bed side table on one side, make sure you have one on the other side too.
- Skin coloured, neutral tones are soothing and calming e.g. magnolia, peach, and cocoa.
- Light blues, mint greens and lavenders are thought to be very restful colours that help encourage peaceful sleep.
- If you decide to mix these two colour groups together, then make sure it's a balanced 50/50, as too much of one will offset the other.
- Remove anything that will distract you from resting peacefully e.g. televisions, computers, mobile phone and any work related items.
- If you insist on having some of these in your room still, then at least cover them up with something like a towel or blanket before you go to sleep.
- Keep your room free from clutter; this will help chi flow well around the room.
- Mirrors bounce energy round the room, create chaos and are known to enhance worries and cause sleepless nights.
- If you want them in the room, they should be kept away from the bed and you should not be able to see yourself in them when lying on the bed.
- Never hang a mirror on the opposite wall to your bed; it's thought to represent a third party in your relationship, encouraging infidelity.
- Ensure there are no sharp angles from furniture facing you during sleep. Unfortunately this does limit where you can put your bedroom furniture. Fitted furniture such as wardrobes would be the perfect option to eliminate any angles from promoting negative energy.
- Furniture and objects need to be placed so that all external and internal doorways are kept clear. If they're blocked, this becomes a symbol for blocked opportunities.
- Main pieces of bedroom furniture i.e. desks or wardrobes should be placed in the 'command' position. This is the space facing the door and just off to the side. This position promotes good energy and is a naturally good place for things to fit.
You may find it's not possible to fully Feng Shui your whole bedroom according to the guidelines, but if you try some of these simple changes then hopefully your bedroom will become a much more comfortable and restful place to spend your time, and may even improve your sleep as well!
To find out more about beautifully designed fitted bedroom furniture, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Robe 'n' Rails today.

Unrevealing the mechanism of the WGS reaction over Au/CeO2-FeOx/Al2O3 catalysts
Odriozola, JA, Ramirez Reina, T, Gonzalez-Castano, M, Ivanova, S and Centeno, MA (2014) Unrevealing the mechanism of the WGS reaction over Au/CeO2-FeOx/Al2O3 catalysts In: AIChE 2014 Annual Meeting, 2014-11-16 - 2014-11-21, Atlanta, USA.Full text not available from this repository.
Hydrogen-alimented fuel cells (FC) have a strong potential to play a decisive role in the new energy system for the coming years. The production of H2 pure enough to use it in fuel cells requires the development of very efficient catalysts for the WGS reaction. In our group several gold-ceria based catalysts have been developed presenting very promising results in this process [1,2]. The successful catalytic design makes mandatory an accurate knowledge about the reaction mechanism and the active species involved in the process. In order to address these issues a combination of several in-situ/operando characterization techniques is performed in this work using an optimized Au/CeO2-FeOx/Al2O3 catalyst. Synchrotron-based in-situ time-resolved Xray absorption spectroscopy (TR-XAS) and operando DRIFTS during the WGS reaction are employed with the ultimate goal to establish structure-activity relations and to propose the most likely reaction pathways.

Wedding season is finally drawing to a close — much to my relief. Since spring, friends and family have dragged me to weddings where I sat with a glass of wine and stewed in my own misery of being single. For all those brides — and sometimes their grooms — the months leading up to the wedding were perhaps almost as miserable as I was at their actual wedding. Planning for a wedding can be a nightmare, turning normally sweet young women into "bridezillas." To make planning weddings easier, independent and corporate based wedding planners can take almost all the pressure of the planning off of the bride. The difficult part is finding a great wedding planner who not only fits into the bride's budget, but also will give the wedding couple their ceremony and the reception the attention it deserves.
To help brides find the best wedding planner based on their individual needs, a new startup called WeddingLovely helps showcase the best small and independent wedding vendors and helps them compete against the huge, poor-quality corporations with massive advertising budgets. Brides and other vendors can use WeddingLovely to find the perfect wedding planner, which can often be difficult using traditional search engines. The founder of WeddingLovely, Tracy Osborn, said that being able to accomodate these independent business owners is important because they are "amazing to work with — they're able to give personal attention and detail to the elements of a wedding that the big corporations lack, plus their quality is usually leaps and bounds over any corporation's designs." Osborn says she wants engaged couples to enjoy the process of the wedding, and work with amazing vendors to make their dreams of a beautiful and stress-free wedding day come true.
WeddingLovely is a great source for brides to find not only wedding planners, but other essentials needed for planning their ceremony and reception. Within WeddingLovely, users can browse the WeddingPlannerLove (which recently launched and lists 23 wedding planners and coordinators) directory for planners, or look for invitation vendors using WeddingInviteLove (which lists 359 wedding invitation vendors). WeddingInviteLove was actually the primary concept behind WeddingLovely — Osborn has been working on this directory since January of 2011. She was inspired to start WeddingLovely after initially beginning a service in 2010 that allowed couples to build their own wedding invitations because she recognized that it was "difficult to find the really awesome professional wedding invitation vendors." Building on the concept of WeddingInviteLove, Osborn launched WeddingPlannerLove just a few weeks ago — and will soon be launching a directory for wedding photographers called WeddingPhotoLove. The separate directories are designed so couples can find the services they need, as they want to look for them. "An engaged couple doesn't search for everything at once — they search for their planner, and then their venue, and then their invitations," Osborne explained. She also told me that she's planning on launching a directory every month underneath the WeddingLovely umbrella. WeddingCakeLove, anyone?
While the WeddingLovely directories are so far just that, soon vendors will have the ability to connect with each other as well as their clients right within the service. The idea is to create a community around weddings, while making it easy for couples to find the best services they need for their wedding. Not only do these types of directories help promote independent vendors, they relieve them from the pain of trying to battle SEO and search algorithms that make it difficult for potential clients to find them. Which, of course, means that couples won't be misled by paid search results or the SEO power of a corporation, which overshadows the search results for independent and more local vendors. WeddingLovely does offer the ability for its vendors to promote themselves within the service, including advertising profile branding with a $25 monthly fee. However, for all vendors — and, of course, all potential clients — WeddingLovely is available for free.
As the wedding season winds down and the holidays approach, even more couples will be thinking about getting married next year. If you're a bride to be or know one, WeddingLovely should be at the front of your checklist — especially since even more directories will be added over the next few months. Visit WeddingLovely.com to browse the WeddingInviteLove and WeddingPlannerLove directory, or check out the WeddingLovely Blog for a little inspiration.

Working in networks ensures that emergency and development programmes effectively target the poorest and that activities become locally sustainable.
Networks are also a cost-effective way of joining forces in advocacy for development and humanitarian assistance and often networks are important channels of information and sharing of lessons learnt and best practices.
Core Humanitarian Standard Alliance
International Council of Voluntary Agencies (ICVA)
The International Campaign to Ban Landmines
Cluster Munitions Coalition (CMC)
ICBL/CMC Governance Board and Advisory Board
Steering Committee for Humanitarian Response
ACT Alliance is composed of more than 110 member organisations working in long-term development and humanitarian assistance
Members work in 130 countries
Members employ around 30,000 staff and volunteers
Members mobilise approximately $1.5 billion each year
The alliance is supported by an international Secretariat of some 20 staff based in Geneva
The alliance was created on 1 January 2010 by bringing together the efforts, resources, people and organisations who have been working together since 1995 as ACT International and since 2003 as ACT Development.
Two of the key features which help support the cooperation and collaboration between the members are:
National and Regional ACT Forums. Participation in these is mandatory for organisations that are active in a specific region or country.
Working Groups, Advisory Groups, and Steering Committees. Currently, there are 12 such groups and 2 new are in the making (Communications and Advocacy).
Disaster response is one of the major tasks of ACT. It includes the coordination of finances, material aid and personnel mo¬bi¬lised by members in response to emergencies, as well as the processing of ACT appeals from members.
The ACT Secretariat's role is also to support the members through global level coordination, collaboration and facilitation of special initiatives, working groups, policy engagement and more.
All members meet every four years at a General Assembly (GA) and elect a Governing Board of up to 21 representatives who meet one-two times annually.
Our commitment to the ACT Alliance will continue to be strong and the added value as a faith-based organisation will remain central. Most people in developing countries have a religious world view; their faith is important to them and frames how they relate to the world.
Faith groups and faith-based organisations are motivated by values which are grounded in their religious beliefs and often they have a strong relationship with poor people and a strong legitimacy and grounding in local communities. In many countries, in particular in Africa, the churches have influence and power to challenge poor governance and to promote pro-poor policies. As a faith-based organisation, DCA has an obligation and a comparative advantage to engage in discussions with church leaders and church communities to promote progressive development.
General Secretary Birgitte Qvist-Sørensen elected as chair of ACT Alliance
The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) is a global communion of Christian churches in the Lutheran tradition. Founded in 1947 in Lund, Sweden, the LWF now has 145 member churches in 79 countries all over the world representing nearly 66 million Christians.
DanChurchAid mainly supports the development and humanitarian work of LWFs Department for World Service (DWS) in the following countries:
LWF is committed to an empowering, rights-based and integrated approach. The aim is to enable communities to find their own solutions to the problems they are facing, and to inform all involved of their rights and responsibilities. LWF also strives to link different focuses such as emergency intervention, disaster preparedness, reconstruction and development.
DanChurchAid's Global Funding Unit has a close working relationship with LWF through the Nordic Global Funding Cooperation model. DanChurchAid gives support to DWS in how to fundraise from international donors. This cooperation also includes Church of Sweden and NorwegianChurchAid.
The World Council of Churches (WCC) is the broadest and most inclusive among the many organised expressions of the modern ecumenical movement, a movement whose goal is Christian unity.
The WCC brings together 349 churches, denominations and church fellowships in more than 110 countries and territories throughout the world, representing over 560 million Christians and including most of the world's Orthodox churches, scores of Anglican, Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist and Reformed churches, as well as many United and Independent churches. While the bulk of the WCC's founding churches were European and North American, today most member churches are in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East and the Pacific.
DanChurchAid is a member of APRODEV, which is a network of protestant organisations influencing EU policy with respect to development and humanitarian issues.
APRODEV was founded in 1990 in order to strengthen the cooperation between the European development organisations which work closely together with the World Council of Churches (WCC).
At present, 17 development and humanitarian aid organisations cooperate through APRODEV. They are all firmly rooted in their own societies and their constituencies comprise millions of Christians from the Anglican, Protestant and Orthodox communities.
Through the WCC, which groups 349 churches in more than 110 countries worldwide, these constituencies are linked up with Christian communities all over the world. Together, the APRODEV members have an annual income of some Euro 720 million. Their counterpart organisations can be found in most countries in the world.
Concord is the European NGOs' Confederation for Relief and Development. Its 18 international networks and 25 national associations from the European Member States and the candidate countries represent more than 1600 European NGOs vis-à-vis the European Institutions. Through its membership of Global Focus, DCA is represented in Concord Europe.
Today, more than ever, an increasing number of people still live in unacceptable circumstances, often in violent conflict areas, deprived of the most elementary provisions such as food, water, healthcare and security.
As European citizens, living in this privileged part of the world, we have an obligation to help the people and civil organisations of developing countries to improve living conditions by providing them with financial and political support. Their voices must be heard by Western governments.
By uniting, European development NGOs commit themselves to keep development cooperation high on the political agenda of advanced countries and the European Institutions in particular. European NGOs will continue to make institutions aware of how their economic and political choices impact the most deprived countries.
Concord serves different working groups that seek to influence political debate and policy formulation on development and humanitarian issues. DanChurchAid is active in the working group for funding and development (FDR) that deals directly with the European Commission's Department for development – EuropeAid.
Global Focus represents the Danish national platform and DanChurchAid participates actively in the work of the platform both by having a representative and by being actively engaged in the various fora and working groups. In order to enhance the capacity of Danish NGOs to secure funding from the EU institutions, DanChurchAid is contracted by Global Fokus to provide training and advise on project proposal development.
CHS Alliance improves the effectiveness and impact of assistance to people and communities vulnerable to risk and affected by disaster, conflict or poverty, by working with humanitarian and development actors on quality, accountability and people management initiatives. Formed in 2015 by the merger of HAP International and People In Aid, the Alliance brings together more than two decades of experience supporting the sector in applying standards and good practices. Creating a truly global enterprise, it already has a membership of more than 240 organisations that are headquartered in 55 capitals and operating in more than 160 countries worldwide.
DCA is CHS certificed. Read more here >
ICVA is a platform for increased collaboration and coordination between NGOs and other humanitarian actors, which is crucial to improving the lives of communities affected by humanitarian crises.
ICVA is a global network of non-governmental organisations whose mission is to make humanitarian action more principled and effective by working collectively and independently to influence policy and practice.
The International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) is a global network in over 90 countries that works for a world free of antipersonnel landmines, where landmine survivors can lead fulfilling lives. The Campaign was awarded the Nobel Peace Prizein recognition of its efforts to bring about the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty. Since then, it has been advocating for the words of the treaty to become a reality, demonstrating on a daily basis that civil society has the power to change the world.
In December 2006, the ICBL decided to engage extensively in the global effort to prohibit cluster munitions. This marked the first time that the ICBL had become significantly engaged in an issue other than antipersonnel mines. The main reasons for the ICBL's decision were that cluster munitions inevitably end up leaving behind large numbers of unexploded 'duds' which behave essentially like antipersonnel mines; that many ICBL members had been already working extensively on cluster munitions; and that international efforts to achieve a global ban on cluster munitions were at a crucial point, a point where the ICBL could have a meaningful impact.
In February 2007, the ICBL formally joined the Steering Committee of the Cluster Munitions Coalition (CMC) – the coalition of NGOs that is leading civil society's campaign to ban cluster munitions. The ICBL actively participated in the Oslo Process that brought about the Convention on Cluster Munitions. From 1 January 2011, the CMC and ICBL will operate under one legal structure.
The Cluster Munitions Coalition is an international civil society campaign working to eradicate cluster munitions, prevent further casualties from these weapons and put an end for all time to the suffering they cause.

DanChurchAid is a member of VOICE - Voluntary Organisations in Cooperation in International Emergencies. Voice is a network of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) throughout Europe that are active in the field of humanitarian aid, including emergency aid, rehabilitation, disaster preparedness and conflict prevention.
Voice was created in 1992, with a Secretariat established in 1993 under the Liaison Committee of European Development NGOs. In March 2001 Voice became an independent NGO network with more than 80 members.
VOICE's overall vision is a collective European NGO response to humanitarian crises. To reach this goal, VOICE seeks to influence the policy and practice of the European Union regarding emergency aid, relief, rehabilitation and disaster preparedness. It enhances the collective influence of the network's members with the EU, including its Member States. It promotes respect for International Humanitarian Law and humanitarian principles, and endorses quality and effectiveness in humanitarian action.
In the humanitarian aid sector, VOICE is the main NGO interlocutor with the European Union promoting the comparative advantages and specificities of NGOs in aid delivery. It also engages in dialogue with other major providers of humanitarian aid, such as the Red Cross and relevant UN agencies.
DanChurchAid is actively involved in the Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) watch group, discussing, responding and negotiating issues of importance in relation to the partnership between European NGOs and the European Commission Humanitarian Aid Office (ECHO).

I am HUNGRY for writing.
I wrote a post today on the happy bus. It was cool to write while I was jerking and rocking as the bus kept stopping.
I recently realized that more women are wearing the hijab! (Yeay, there are more me's :') ) Back before whenever I saw a woman wearing the hijab, I would stare at her, mentally praise her for her religious devotion, and just wonder what a God-loving woman she is.
Now we see them everywhere! But unlike some of them, I wear the hijab even after I reach my destination (unless that destination is home or somewhere without non-mahram men). I know a lot of girls take off their hijab when they reach school, someone's house, etc. But I wear it nevertheless, so there's the difference you can find between someone doing it for safety or for religion. I believe the purpose of it in religion is for more protection in case someone around is a nut-cracker (Me means "nutty", but not Mon-Nutty, if you know what I mean), but some prefer to only wear it for "outside-protection"-only. At least they know the importance of it is what makes me happy :')
Agh! I forgot why I was even writing! I get distracted as my thoughts come and go whilst I write- unlike when I talk when I think a lot before speaking. Social anxiety or wisdom? (I say both, mothaf*ckahs! Did I really write that?)
Well, anyhow, my not-a-feminist-but-daughter-loving Dad made another statement today LOL. I mean, you'll only find it funny after I explain a bit about his…uhhh…psyche. 🙂 So today a lady at the super market packed our things and put the yogurt at the bottom of our bag. Now the delicate, plastic yogurt-containers should've been on top of the heavier things. We discovered the fault when Dad was speculating our bag on the rickshaw. When he saw the yogurt at the bottom of the bag, he was all, "Women are dumb. This lady put the yogurt at the bottom!"
I didn't want to say anything to Dad because……this was coming from the man who asks me if the dinosaurs in Jurassic World are real or not. Yeah. Like even if dinausors still existed they would be used to chase and eat actors xD
I told about the Dinosaur-incident to Mom and Mom told me of a similar experience with Dad. Once he was watching this animated film where all these large bees were dominating the world. Those giant bees were flying in groups and eating people and taking away the babies from their mothers. And Dad was so scared, "THOSE BEES ARE EATING PEOPLE!"
"Don't embarrass me, Kamal!"
"What if those bees get me?"Just look how they're flying off with those children!!? D: "
Mom didn't know what to think after that. Huehuehue. You're the one who married him!
So anyway xD The only exception Dad makes for me in this species of women is just because I am related to him. And that's pretty smart ; he is indirectly glorifying his freakin' O-Negative blood and genes 😮 (A moment of silence for his ingeniousness) Even though my Mother helped him get his education-he is still like this. I mean. C'mon! You were freakin' given education by a woman! A W_O_M_A_N! But, in the wise words of my Guru, Taylor Swift, "And the haters gonna hate hate hate hate".
So Dad's gonna hate all those not-Mon-women anyway. But I hope you enjoyed reading about Dad, I certainly enjoyed writing about him. His silly-anti-feminism is why he is the only non-feminist I still love. And he, like me but in a different way, shape and form, is a psycho in the making. He is too silly sometimes to let me be derailed by him xD So anyhow…
No Ferociously-Giant Man-Eating bees and…
Peace out BI

This book provides a quantifiable measure and analysis of absolute complexity in the nominal inflection of 17 Alemannic dialects, of standard German as well as of Middle and Old High German. The data is based on grammatical descriptions. What can be interpreted as being more or less complex in a language system is deduced from LFG (Lexical-Functional Grammar) and from an inferential-realisational morphological framework. The tool to measure inflectional complexity is also developed from these frameworks. Variation in the inflectional complexity is analysed based on the following factors: diachrony, isolation, language contact, standardisation, and dialect groups.
lfg --- alemannic dialects --- inferential-realisational morphological framework --- quantitative linguistics --- nominal inflection --- absolute complexity

Sometimes, I just let them fight it out. It's interesting to note, however, that the one that is yellow and green (which, coincidentally is the Packer color scheme) ends up on the floor most mornings.
