Iron may accumulate to even higher levels in diseased retinas because low oxygen levels (hypoxia) or inflammation can cause cells to retain iron. Analsex, Röv, Blond, Eskort, Första, gången. The macula, a small portion of the retina which is responsible for sharp and detailed vision, deteriorates over time when the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) surrounding the macula oxidizes triggering an inflammatory response. But how can the bodys storage sites for iron be full without iron overflowing into other organs? Iron accumulates in the body with age because we continue to absorb it from our diets, but we excrete very little, Dunaief said. Normally the RPE has ways to prevent iron from entering the retina when iron levels are high, but if iron export from cells is unregulated, iron may accumulate in the eye and degrade the macula. If an hhcs patient is falsely diagnosed with hemochromatosis, phlebotomies used to remove excess iron from the body could make the person become iron deficient. Transferrin-iron saturation percentage (TS) : a measure of iron carried by the protein transferrin in the serum; represented by fasting serum iron divided by total iron binding capacity (tibc multiplied by 100. People with hhcs typically have normal tibc and TS test results but elevated serum ferritin levels (.
Right now, the only known treatment for hhcs is cataract surgery. A liver biopsy will show that the patient does not have iron overload. Det är vanligt att första gången man har sex blir annorlunda mot hur man tänkt sig. Dunaiefs research has shown that the oral iron chelator deferiprone may be a possible treatment for AMD if iron accumulation was one of the causes for its development. An ophthalmologist confirms diagnosis of hhcs. Joshua Dunaief, professor of ophthalmology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Hyperferritinemia means high ferritin in the blood). Deferiprone can protect the retinas of mice by entering the retina and removing iron from it, said Dunaief, whose lab is currently testing additional drugs to prevent iron accumulation in the eye. Serum ferritin : indicates the amount of iron stored in the body, via the protein ferritin. This means that ferritin is constantly being made no matter whether iron levels are high or low.

Sex är någonting man behöver öva på för att det ska bli riktigt bra, precis som. The result is hereditary hyperferritinemia cataract syndrome (hhcs an inherited condition of early-onset cataracts which could be dangerously confused with hemochromatosis (iron overload) unless a person is diagnosed using the full iron panel : Hemoglobin : the iron-containing protein in the blood that carries iron. Iron is a necessary mineral for many of the bodys functions, including vision. But too much iron or problems with utilizing, storing, or transporting iron properly can lead to vision loss in the form of conditions such as age-related macular degeneration and hyperferritinemia syndrome, according to recent research findings. The answer is that a genetic mutation has turned off the bodys ability to make ferritin in response to changing iron levels. In hhcs, components of ferritin accumulate in the eye lens and crystalize disrupting the light transmission which enables a person to see. Oftentimes the storage protein for iron, ferritin, can reach the eye instead of the mineral itself. Det första sexet har man alltså oftast med sig själv.

Dear Friends, Neighbors, Gardeners, and Fellow Earth Lovers,
We have jumping worms on our farm. They love our organic management, with heavy wood chip mulches and compost based potting soils. There is a good chance that worms or eggs are in the potted trees we sell. They will not be on the bare-root plants or the smaller potted blueberries.
Jumping worms (Amynthas agrestis) are a relatively recent arrival to the Vermont landscape. They look similar to other earthworms but are noticeably firmer, like a tire inflated to a much greater pressure. When picked up they will often thrash and ‘jump’ about, hence the name. No earthworm is native in Vermont. Unlike the other earthworms, the jumping worms stay in the top few inches of the soil. They tend to live and thrive in areas with lots of very fresh organic matter such as piles of leaves, wood chip mulch, piled perennial debris, etc. They are relatively rapid consumers of organic matter. They leave behind loose nutrient rich castings, often compared to coffee grounds. In some cases these castings may be so loose as to wash or erode. Soils protected by mulch can lose their protective cover. This is a problem especially in relatively undisturbed forests with a thick duff layer of decomposing leaves, as this layer helps stabilize soil moisture and harbors many native creatures.
The internet is full of more information on jumping worms. Much of it is terrifying. Common names for the worms include snake worms or crazy asian snake worms reflecting a xenophobia and fear mongering common in discussion of recently introduced and highly successful species (aka invasive species). Sadly, scary sells. Tales of mourning and anxiety over the loss of gardens and landscaping abound. We have not found the presence of jumping worms harmful to our plants and gardens.
We have found snake worms to be fairly common around Vermont, particularly in the yards of gardeners who move plants and soil and pile organic matter to feed the soil. Our gardens, both annual and perennial, have continued to thrive. Mulch in areas where the worm populations are robust does not last as long. My sense is the nutrients in that material are cycling quicker. In the absence of live growing roots, a greater proportion of that nutrient may be lost, otherwise it may be supportive, making nutrients available to actively growing plants. Soil under mulch or decomposing plant matter is left very loose and easy to weed and dig with lots of space for air and moisture to move. We try to keep as much of the soil as possible covered with healthy green plants. We do this because it is a best practice, plants in an organic context feed the soil (as well provide numerous other benefits). With Live green cover the soil will remain well protected despite the work of the worms. The worms hatch late spring from overwintered eggs, once the plant world is in full swing, and then die with the first frosts. In areas without thick layers of decaying organic matter, I do not find jumping worms.
We want to let you know so you can make your own informed choices. If you already have jumping worms in your soil please do not let them become one more wedge between you and the natural world. If you do not want to risk bringing them into an area they are not already, do not take soil with you from our farm. Bare-root plants are a great way to go. If the plant you are looking for is potted we can wash the soil off in early spring or late fall when trees are dormant and ensure they are free of worms or eggs.
Doing our best to do right by the land and bless up the Earth.

Toward the end of 2013, the Fund for Educational Excellence embarked on an intensive study of Baltimore residents’ views on their public schools. Over the course of four months in 2014, we heard from 859 Baltimore residents representing all 55 community statistical areas (CSAs) in Baltimore City through a series of intimate conversations about schools and neighborhoods.
In the Hamilton CSA, we heard from 8 participants. We held one ‘kitchen table conversation’ in this CSA, which took place at City Neighbors High School in the neighborhood of Glenham-Belhar on June 5, 2014. Of the 8 participants, 6 chose to submit at least some demographic data.
Some of the themes that we heard most often from participants in our discussions included:
- Participants discussed district policies and practices, and expressed frustration with the bureaucracy and how difficult it can be to navigate the central office. Participants expressed the belief that decisions should be made by students, teachers, principals, and schools, not North Avenue.
- There was a call for more support for students, including increasing student voice in their education, and greater inclusion for special education students.
- Participants also discussed school quality, and expressed the belief that there is currently a lack of real choice in the district due to a lack of quality seats.

A Birmingham-based dental accounting specialist is warning that HMRC is to extend its tax investigations by probing into the social media activity of practices.
Robin Barnes, an accountant from JW Hinks and a member of the National Association of Dental Accountants and Lawyers (NASDAL), says the tax authority has recently introduced a new Single Compliance Process (SCP) which relates to tax checks on small and medium enterprises (SME), including dental practices.
The initiative was created in response to a government edict for HMRC to introduce quicker, more efficient checks which gets results – specifically an increase of £7 billion a year in tax gathering by 2014/15.
Piloted in 16 tax offices in May 2011 and extended by a year-and-a-half, SCP is now set to be rolled out across the country.
“Under SCP, HMRC will aim to determine the seriousness of a tax case against a dental practice– by a pre-tax check “risk” and “behaviour” review,” said Robin.
“This review will include scrutinising accounts for current and previous years for inconsistencies or inaccuracies, inspecting gross profit rate or hourly rate with comparable practices, issuing information notices for further data and more controversially generating a “personal lifestyle profile” on the practice owner, partners and directors, including analysis of social media updates.
“HMRC will try and use the behaviour and risk assessment to determine the level of tax evasion and assess if errors were made “despite reasonable care”, “carelessly”, or “deliberately.”
Once all the information is gathered, tax inspectors will then assign the case to one of four levels. Level One will mean no meeting is required to settle the issue, Level Two may require a meeting in person, Level Three will entail a further in-depth review and Level Four will see a detailed investigation into risk and behaviour outcomes due to suspicion of tax evasion.
“Businesses and dental practices under suspicion will receive letters announcing upcoming tax checks describing in more detail the information which is being sought, such as business expenses, to accelerate the enquiry,” added Robin.
“Unlike previously, those who attend meetings in person will not be given meeting notes, while there will also be inspections at practices, and principles will have to conform to officers’ requests for information.”
It is understood that cases thought to be at “higher risk” will receive unannounced visits and/or other “covert” activities.
“Dental practices whose records are spotless and up-to-date should have nothing to fear from SCP, however for some others it may be time to scrutinise their accounts and seek expert advice as soon as possible,” said Robin.

For as long as I could remember, I’ve always been fascinated by music. From making important decisions to sharpening my creativity, the soundtrack to my life has been a hodgepodge of all things hip hop, jazz, electronic, rock and R&B. With that said, there’s no question that stumbling upon Turntable Kitchen, a site that connects food + music, was a great moment for me. This Christmas, I received Turntable Kitchen’s December Pairings Box as a gift. The box, which is described as a a food and music experience delivered to your mailbox on a monthly basis, was packed with recipes, ingredients, and a 7′ vinyl copy of two exclusive tracks from Seamonster.
Of the three recipes included in the pairings box, we decided tonight would be a perfect night to enjoy the Spicy Turkey Chili with Espresso & Cocoa recipe. As snow accumulated on my window seal, my kitchen transformed into a music-filled canteen with a savory combination of cafe’ and chili aromas.
Luckily, close to 100% of the recipe called for plant-based ingredients with the exception of the ground turkey and the cheddar cheese used for topping. During a quick (and affordable) trip to Trader Joe’s, I purchased ‘Beefless Ground-Beef’ and Trader Joe’s Vegan Mozzarella Style Shreds to make the recipe complete. After slicing and dicing red bell peppers, onions and garlic, preparing the chili was relatively simple. Turntable Kitchen’s recipe cards (pictured below) make the process very easy to follow. In addition to the listing of ingredients, the opposite side of the cards include directions and tips for preparing the dish.
I figured it would be best to enjoy the sounds of Seamonster over dinner so I tuned into the Turntable Kitchen Digital Mixtape to stay entertained while cooking. As an avid lover and creator of music mixes, this mix is easily one of the best I’ve heard in a while. My favorite tracks on the mixtape, which are available for download for subscribers, are Sikane’s Runnin’, Monster Rally & RUMTUM-‘s Chicks and The Record Company- I Want to Be Your Dog. The 20-track mixtape served as a great dinner soundtrack. I found myself lost in the music while the aroma of savory spices spread throughout my apartment. Needless to say, after about 20 minutes of meal prep and close to 1 hour of cooking time, Turntable Kitchen’s Spicy Vegan Chili with Espresso & Cocoa was an instant success. This was the first time espresso or cocoa powder was introduced to any main dish at the dinner table in my home and it was quite the culinary experience. Check out the photograph below to see the results!
In addition to the Spicy Turkey Chili with Espresso & Cocoa recipe, the December pairings box also included recipes for Buttermilk Skillet Cornbread and Carrot & Cauliflower Quick Pickles. Both remaining dishes will be prepared at a later date. If you’d like to learn more about the Turntable Kitchen experience, view their website at www.turntablekitchen.com.

FOR the first time in its chairman’s seven-year reign, the board of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) has come to Airlie Beach.
Russell Reichelt, who is both chief executive of the organisation and chairman of its board, arrived in the Whitsundays on Monday, meeting up with his associates Melissa George, Tony Mooney, Jon Grayson and Margie McKenzie, for what he described as a “multi-purpose” trip.
The first thing the board members did was to get out on the water and visit some of the area’s most iconic locations, such as Hill Inlet and Whitehaven Beach, which are soon to come up for review. Mr Reichelt explained that the current system of zoning around the Whitsunday islands and reef, and the associated plan of management, determining each area’s level of use, was about to be re-visited.
“There’s a limit to how many places you can anchor and have big tourism operators working – and look, it’s been pretty stable and we haven’t opened that for review now for six years – and it’s time to look at it,” he said. Travelling to the Whitsundays from destinations as far apart as Melbourne and Cairns, were members of the Superyacht industry, who wanted to have their say on restrictions to use of the marine park (full story page 3).
After meeting with these representatives and Abell Point Marina owner Paul Darrouzet, it was time for the board of GBRMPA to face the tourism operators of Airlie Beach.
While some have been quite vocal about the marine park authority’s role in the ongoing Abbot Point dredging debate, the mood at a function held at Marina Shores was upbeat.
Addressing representatives from the Whitsunday Charter Boat Industry Association (WCBIA) such as Tony Brown, Al Grundy and Peter Claxton, who have been at the forefront of the ‘no sea-dumping’ fight, Mr Reichelt was both appreciative of their efforts and optimistic about the future of the tourism industry and the reef.
“I’ve seen a terrific change in [the] Queensland and Federal Governments and we in the authority are in a position now to be more strongly asserting that the focus on water quality should extend to all developments, including ports, and minimising the impacts or footprints of ports, which is a long-held view of ours,” he said.
“Dredging won’t go away – we need to maintain our harbours and things but I think we can take a breath and look at the bigger picture for a little while now.”
As for the zoning and management review, Mr Reichelt said he expected it to be open for public comment within a few months and ready to act upon in about a year. “By the end of June next year would be optimistic, but we’ll shoot for it,” he said.
Yesterday, the board held their regular meeting in Airlie Beach before leaving the area, with Mr Reichelt heading to Mackay.

Excess consumption of palatable food has been shown to affect reward-related brain regions, and pharmaceutical treatments for drug addiction may also be effective in treating overeating of such foods. The GABA-B agonist baclofen and opioid antagonist naltrexone have both been used to treat addiction, and have been shown to suppress intake of certain foods. The combination of these drugs has shown to be more effective in reducing alcohol consumption than either drug alone. The present study assessed the effects of naltrexone and baclofen, alone and in combination, on intake of foods comprised of various macronutrients. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given 12-hr daily access to chow and a fat emulsion, sugar-fat emulsion, or a sugar solution for 21 days. Rats were then administered (intraperitoneal) baclofen-naltrexone combinations (0.1 mg/kg naltrexone and 1.0 mg/kg baclofen, 1.0 mg/kg naltrexone and 1.8 mg/kg baclofen), and naltrexone (0.1, 1.0 mg/kg) and baclofen (1.0, 1.8 mg/kg) alone. The high dose of the baclofen-naltrexone combination reduced palatable food intake in both the fat and sugar-fat groups compared with vehicle, without affecting chow consumption in these groups. Naltrexone showed little significant effects on intake of either palatable food or chow. Baclofen also reduced palatable food intake in the fat and fat-sugar groups, but differences were only noted between the low and high dose. The combination of baclofen and naltrexone may be a useful tool in selectively targeting the consumption of high-fat and sugar- and fat-rich foods.

Governor Wa Iria Resumes At The Bomas Protesting Against The IEBC
After being ruled out of the presidential campaign, Murang’a Governor Mwangi wa Iria resumed his protests. This is against the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) which have barred him.
The IEBC blocked Wa Iria’s candidacy on Monday, claiming that he had not gathered enough signatures to be cleared as a presidential contender.
Mwangi wa Iria had only managed to submit signatures from 22 counties only which is short of the required 24.
Wa Iria and his supporters, on the other hand, remained steadfast. They set up camps at Anniversary Towers on Tuesday in the hopes of meeting Chebukati, who had refused to give them an audience.
The governor went on to suggest that the Bomas of Kenya were a crime scene. He claimed that the IEBC was telling Kenyans that they were validating signatures when they didn’t have a signature registry to do so.

Chebukati, on the other hand, argued that the only genuine signatures in Wa Iria’s submission came from five counties.
“The remaining signatures from 17 counties did not match the clearance requirement,” the IEBC chief said.
After Wa Iria’s supporters continued to demand that IEBC officials attend to him, a number of police officers were dispatched Monday morning to ensure order was maintained in the Bomas of Kenya.
Throughout, the election board officials remained in Kenya’s Bomas.
“Whose orders were it to lock us out?” Wa Iria was overheard asking the security guards at the Bomas of Kenya’s gate.
Wa-Iria had earlier said that as Kenyans they know their rights and no one will intimidate them.
“I will fight until the end to ensure that my name is on the ballot as a presidential contender, even if it means staging nationwide protests,” he declared.

Since the development of the HMS Dreadnaught, which spurred a naval arms race across the world, battleships were typically built with low design speeds. The idea was that a large but slower-moving behemoth would be able to challenge any enemy warships at range, while its armor would protect it from counter fire. In the interwar era, a number of naval treaties had a decisive effect on the future of capital ship design.
The Washington Treaty of 1922, also known as the Five-Power Treaty, was actually meant to prevent an arms race by limiting naval construction. It limited the construction of battleships, battlecruisers, and aircraft carriers. The subsequent London Treaties of 1930 and 1936 also were originally written to forbid the construction of large battleships – those that displaced over 35,000 tons.
However in the mid-1930s, after Japan and Italy renounced the treaties, the United States Navy sought to refocus how it would build its future battleships. Instead of just building larger warships, the U.S. Navy instead looked to combine firepower, armor and speed.
The North Carolina-class and South Dakota-class
The first of the U.S. Navy’s “fast battleships” was the North Carolina-class, which consisted of the lead warship USS North Carolina (BB-55) and USS Washington (BB-56). Planning of the warships had begun in 1935, and the battlewagons were limited to the 35,000-ton displacement limit set in the Washington Naval Treaty and reaffirmed in the Second London Naval Treaty.
The latter treaty had stipulated that warship guns could be no larger than 14-inches, however, a provision allowed signatory countries of the Second London Treaty – which including the United States, the United Kingdom, and France – to raise the limit to 16-inches if Japan or Italy failed to sign on. When Japan formally rejected the 14-inch limited in March 1937, an “escalator clause” was invoked, which allowed the North Carolina-class to have its guns increased to 16-inches.
Capable of reaching 28 knots, this class of battleships wasn’t exactly the speediest of warships in the U.S. Navy, and in actuality, it was slower than Germany’s Gneisenau-class battlecruisers, which could reach 31 knots, or even its Bismarck-class’s 30.8 knots.
The U.S. Navy followed up with the South Dakota-class, a group of four fast battleships, and construction began shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War. Designed to meet the same treaty standard displacement limit of 35,000 long tons (35,600 tons), these warships also featured a main battery of nine 16-inch guns. While again not as speedy as contemporary warships of the era, naval historians have long suggested that the South Dakota-class was the best of the “treaty battleships” ever constructed.
The Iowa-class Battleships
Even as the Navy was in the process of building up its fleet of modern battleships, it began development of the Iowa-class, which improved upon the earlier South Dakota-class, with more powerful engines and longer-caliber guns that offered far greater range. More importantly, the Iowa-class was truly designed as “fast” battleships that mixed speed and firepower and this enabled it to travel with a carrier force. Capable of reaching speeds of up to 33 knots, they were fast moving, while heavily armed with nine 16-inch guns and 10 twin five-inch guns. Like all battleships, the Iowa-class carried heavy armor protection against shellfire and bombs, as well as underwater protection against torpedoes.
Additionally, the sleek design of these battleships was meant so that each of the warships could travel through the Panama Canal, which enabled the warships to respond to threats around the world. Six of the fast capital ships were ordered, and four were constructed– including the lead ship of her class, USS Iowa (BB-61) along with her sisters USS New Jersey (BB-62), USS Missouri (BB-63), and USS Wisconsin (BB-64). Two additional ships, the planned Illinois and Kentucky were laid but canceled with both hulls scrapped.
Impressively, while all of the Navy’s fast battleships saw extensive action during the Second World War, not a single one was sunk!

An authentic throw back to the earlier 80s punk scene they pioneered, it was a fantastic night of music and definitely an interesting, somewhat quirky crowd, which was apparent to those on the stage as well.
X, the pioneering punk band formed in 1977 in Los Angeles, will be starting 2014 out with two special shows this week – one of the 50th Anniversary gigs at the world famous Whiskey A Go Go in their hometown on January 15th and another show at The Casbah in San Diego on January 16th. [Read more…]

In forex, the term "pip" is an acronym that stands for "percentage in point." Pips represent the smallest increments of currency pricing and are key to the establishment of bid/ask spreads. For the active forex trader, pips play an important role in both risk and trade management.
Warning: Ad-blockers may prevent calculator from loading.
Exchange rate fluctuations are typically quantified in pips, making them the de facto measurement of profit and loss for currency traders. Accordingly, the value of each pip is critical to the financial impact of trading activity upon the forex account. Trade size, or applied leverage1, is the primary driver of pip value―as leverage is increased, pip value grows.
Most software platforms furnish traders with unique features designed to monitor pip value. However, utilising the functionality of a Pip Calculator is an ideal way of understanding how applied leverage and exchange rates impact risk exposure on a trade-by-trade basis.
The Pip Calculator: Form And Function
Determining the pip value for a given trade isn't all that difficult, as it is essentially an exercise in basic arithmetic. However, executing these calculations manually can be a challenge in the live market atmosphere. With everything from platform maintenance to technical analysis on the active trader's mind, it can be inconvenient to take time out to derive pip value. Fortunately, the Pip Calculator makes the task routine.
Using the forex Pip Calculator is a straightforward process. Simply define the following trade-related elements as the situation dictates, then input the values directly into the Pip Calculator as prompted:
Currency Pair: A wide variety of forex pairings are available, including majors, minors, exotics and crosses.
Price: The market entry price for the selected pair is required.
Account Currency: The base currency of the trading account is necessary for conversion purposes.
Trade Size: Assumed leverage, typically in units or lots, is a key component of pip value. As the number of units is increased on a given trade, the value of each pip grows, as does risk and reward.
Current Exchange Rate: The current exchange between the trading account denomination and counter currency of the traded pairing is necessary for conversion purposes.
The following example illustrates the functionality of the Pip Calculator. It examines two trades relative to a forex account denominated in GBP facing the GBP/USD and EUR/JPY:
A pip value for the EUR/JPY position is obtained by adding the currency exchange to the calculation. This function is performed automatically and made available in a spreadsheet format:
Currency Exchange (GBP/JPY)
The process of calculating pip value manually is not overly complex. Nonetheless, it is nuanced and may involve several currency conversions before completed. This is an area where the Pip Calculator is especially valuable. It quickly determines pip values for trades pertaining to any currency pairing for any account denomination.
Leverage: Leverage is a double-edged sword and can dramatically amplify your profits. It can also just as dramatically amplify your losses. Trading foreign exchange/CFDs with any level of leverage may not be suitable for all investors.
Hypothetical/Simulated Performance: These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs are generally designed with the benefit of hindsight, do not involve financial risk, and possess other factors which can adversely affect actual trading results.
Demo Account: Although demo accounts attempt to replicate real markets, they operate in a simulated market environment. As such, there are key differences that distinguish them from real accounts; including but not limited to, the lack of dependence on real-time market liquidity, a delay in pricing, and the availability of some products which may not be tradable on live accounts. The operational capabilities when executing orders in a demo environment may result in atypically, expedited transactions; lack of rejected orders; and/or the absence of slippage. There may be instances where margin requirements differ from those of live accounts as updates to demo accounts may not always coincide with those of real accounts.

The missing people - Accounting for the productivity of indigenous populations in Cape colonial history
Research output: Contribution to journal › Article
Because information about the livelihoods of indigenous groups in Africa is often missing from colonial records, the presence of such people usually escapes attention in quantitative estimates of colonial economic activity. This is nowhere more apparent than in the eighteenth-century Dutch Cape Colony, where the role of the Khoesan in Cape production, despite being frequently acknowledged, has been almost completely ignored in quantitative investigations. Combining household-level settler data with anecdotal accounts of Khoesan labour, this article presents new estimates of the Khoesan population of the Cape Colony. Our results show that the Khoesan did not leave the area as a consequence of settler expansion. On the contrary, the number of Khoesan employed by the settlers increased over time, as the growth of settler farming followed a pattern of primitive accumulation and drove the Khoesan to abandon their pastoral lifestyle to become farm labourers.We show that, in failing to include the Khoisan population, previous estimates have overestimated slave productivity, social inequality, and the level of gross domestic product in the Cape Colony.

A recent CNN article discusses a young man's experiment of posing as a homosexual for a year in an effort to understand and sympathize with that community better: http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2012/12/02/christians-year-of-living-gay-leads-...
It's getting a backlash from the very community with whom he hoped to sympathize.
The problem with deception is that it undermines trust. When trust is eroded, then your intentions are irrelevant. He would have fared better as an evangelical who simply befriended homosexuals and asked them about their insecurities, difficulties and challenges.
Frankly, it may even have made for a better book. The difficulty with this book is that it seems gimmicky...even if he meant well.
It's strange how silent the evangelical community is about his efforts. They were deceived as well. And now the problem is that no one knows whether his faith struggle is as a result of intentionally giving ones life to follow Jesus or a struggle against an evangelical conservative background. And though many struggle with that line of deliniation, we tend to forget that there are many people with backgrounds of all faiths and lifestyles who have made the choice to follow Jesus deliberately and have found transformation in the process.
For those desperate to make all things acceptable to God, they actually cheapen the very faith that requires a total giving of the life irrespective of what is acceptable to your background and culture. And yes, Jesus is an equal opportunity offender - to religions and cultures and lifestyles alike.
One more issue with this type of deception is that it reduces the homosexual to with whom they have sex. People have sex with all sorts of people, objects, or beasts. In history, people have even fallen in love with all three. The issue is not one of where you derive sexual pleasure. Sexual pleasure is not the sum total of your identity. People are made of deeper stuff.
So addressing the human, rather than sexual, struggle is probably a more worthy endeavor. Now if the author states that "homosexuality is acceptable" he has a real issue: does he means homosexuals as people or the act of sex? And does the fact that he's okay with both make both okay to God? And if he thinks its okay to God, then what else is for him more about comfort than about faith?
So the experiment, while a noble effort, is a sad one. He had good intentions and probably hopes to illuminate the evangelical world that prejudice often hurts witness. I think the author really meant well. I think he saw a form of "de-humanization" or of being "cast out" that he thought was unjust.
He's right about that.
But the answer is not to deceive. The answer is to be truthful, authentic, and genuinely interested in the homosexual community. You don't have to pretend to starve in order to feed the hungry. Being less than who you are - and especially less than who you were created to be - is an insult to everyone.

POPcorner: helping make the University more inclusive
One of the ambitions of the Learning@LeidenUniversity vision on teaching and learning is to foster an international and inclusive educational community in which everyone feels welcome, regardless of religion, sex, sexual orientation or cultural background. One student service that promotes inclusion is POPcorner. What is it and how is it helping to make the University more inclusive?
POPcorner helps students find their way around their faculty and as a student. First-generation students, whose parents did not go to university, and students with a bicultural background can be in particular need of a bit of help to make them feel at home at university. The POPcorner at the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences opened several years ago already. The Faculty of Humanities opened its POPcorner at the start of 2018.
The POPcorner student panel at the Faculty of Humanities plays a key role in creating a diverse, more inclusive Faculty community. This community can launch its own initiatives and organise lectures, excursions and receptions on topics relating to diversity and inclusivity.
Free popcorn and POPTalks
Over the last year, the student panel has engaged in a range of promotional activities, such as handing out free popcorn from an old-fashioned popcorn machine. It has also organised a number of POPTalks: a mix between a TED Talk and a pep talk. These are short lectures that are followed by a debate and rounded off with drinks. The topics have included: ‘Leiden University; towards an inclusive community,’ ‘Growing up among different worlds’ and ‘Stress to impress,’ which was about young people and the pressure to succeed.
How the student panel is helping
The student panel consists of four somewhat-older students from different programmes. They know the ins and outs of the Faculty and can act as a kind of ambassador, which makes them the right people to think about what POPcorner should offer. Emma, Sam, Pepijn and Hezja explain how they are helping make the University more inclusive.
Emma Oosterink – International Studies
‘In my programme, I have a lot of contact with international students. Everything is in English in International Studies, so that brings us together. There are many different cultures and languages in the workgroups, which makes for a great atmosphere with room for everyone’s unique perspective. For me, feeling at home is not having to feel any different from who and what I am. My fellow international students often feel undervalued at the University because of the language barrier and don’t know whom to contact about what. As a member of the POPcorner panel, I want to help them.’
Sam Saifullahzadeh – Middle Eastern Studies
‘As a member of the POPcorner student panel, I’m working on creating a community. I’m also a buddy and support an Iranian refugee. This means I can help make another student’s first year a better experience and ensure he feels welcome.’
Pepijn Boumans – History
‘I’m here to do what I can to help. My drive to help promote diversity and inclusivity is in part because I want to learn more about this. Equal treatment and opportunities for all; no one should start off at a disadvantage. That’s important to me, which is why I think POPcorner is such a good initiative.’
Hezja H. Mahmood – Middle Eastern Studies
‘I feel at home at the University, also because I can help others who come from the same background as me, as a first-generation student. For me, diversity and inclusivity mean that everyone is equal. No one should feel as though they don’t count. Many students are unaware of what everyone is doing to make the University more inclusive. POPcorner is a good example of this. I help organise events and lectures, to ensure that students receive more attention.’
‘Talent is what you make of it’
Gianelle Vacca is the POPcorner coordinator at the Faculty of Humanities. She studied law in Leiden, was a first-generation student and comes from a bicultural family. ‘I believe that diversity and inclusion are an important theme. To me, this means feeling welcome and at home and being given the opportunity to develop to your full potential. We at POPcorner want to contribute by being a point of contact, organising workshops and courses on study skills, helping people identify and develop their talents and helping give shape to an inclusive community for and of students. We can help students who want to develop. That is what our slogan is all about: ‘Talent is what you make of it!’

It’s no secret that Barack Obama’s popularity has plunged over the past 18 months of his second term, but just how bad has it gotten? According to a new poll from Quinnipiac, Americans pick him as the worst post-WWII president of all. A third of respondents choose Obama for that dubious honor, while 28% pick George W. Bush:
President Barack Obama is the worst president since World War II, 33 percent of American voters say in a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today. Another 28 percent pick President George W. Bush. …
Obama has been a better president than George W. Bush, 39 percent of voters say, while 40 percent say he is worse. Men say 43 – 36 percent that Obama is worse than Bush while women say 42 – 38 percent he is better. Obama is worse, Republicans say 79 – 7 percent and independent voters say 41 – 31 percent. Democrats say 78 – 4 percent that he is better.
Obama beats up George Bush on the economy any time he can in order to distract attention from the fact that his own economic policies have produced the worst recovery since WWII — not exactly a coincidence in regard to this poll. That tactic isn’t working as well as it used to work, though:
Voters say by a narrow 37 – 34 percent that Obama is better for the economy than Bush.
That’s within the MOE, but that’s the good news on Bush comparisons. He’s now at 39/40 against Bush as to which was the better President, down from 46/30 in January 2011 when the question was last asked. Among independents, Obama scores 31/41 and barely holds serve with women at 42/38.
Obama got a little bit of good news in his overall approval ratings, but that just shows how bad the rest of the news is from this poll. His job approval improved to 40/53, up from 38/57 in December … but not by much. Among independents, it’s 31/59, and among women — a critical demographic for Democrats this fall — it’s 42/49. He’s dead even on trustworthiness overall (48/48) but 42/53 among independents, and underwater on leadership at 47/51 overall and 41/57 among independents.
Perhaps even more embarrassing — and potentially more dangerous for other Democrats — is the rise of buyer’s remorse from the election of 2012:
America would be better off if Republican Mitt Romney had won the 2012 presidential election, 45 percent of voters say, while 38 percent say the country would be worse off.
Missing Mitt are Republicans 84 – 5 percent and independent voters 47 – 33 percent, while Democrats say 74 – 10 percent that the U.S. would be worse off with Romney.
If independents have double-digit buyer’s remorse from 2012, that suggests a strong desire to make up for their earlier mistake. The economy is driving that remorse. Respondents rate the economy as their highest priority by far in the midterms. Obama only gets a 40/55 on the economy, and 34/61 among independents. At the very least, it shows that independents won’t be too motivated to vote for Obama’s allies, while Republicans will be very motivated to turn out in November.

When paper manufacturers in Vapi, Gujarat, were asked by the state pollution control board to find a solution for the large amounts of non-recyclable plastic waste that the industry generated, they were initially clueless. As things stood, the waste was either finding its way to the landfill or piling up in the premises of the mills.
But after the release of guidelines from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in 2010 recommending the use of co-processing technology to utilise the waste, the paper mills decided to give it a try. They signed a memorandum of understanding with the Kodinar unit of Ambuja Cement and from then on, the plastic waste from the paper industry started being used in cement manufacture. From 2012 to 2016, around 1,54,018 MT of plastic waste was co-processed from the paper mills of Vapi, according to a May 2017 CPCB case study.
How exactly does this technology, which is used in energy-intensive industries like cement, work? As the name suggests, co-processing means using inorganic waste as part of the fuel to fire cement kilns. As a result, cement manufacture occurs parallel with safe destruction of the waste material, without emitting toxic fumes. The temperature in the cement kiln process varies from about 1,400 degrees centigrade to 2,000 degrees centigrade, leading to co-processing completely destroying the waste material without leaving a residue.
Vapi has not been alone in discovering the benefits of co-processing. Last year, Madukkarai panchayat in Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the “largest recycling lesson in the world”. Here, around 50 women collect waste from every household in the town, segregate it under eight heads and dispose it appropriately towards achieving a zero-landfill status.
Of the waste collected, the non-recyclable plastics and other materials under the non-recyclable Segregated Combustible Fraction (SCF) category are sent to the ACC cement kiln in the vicinity where they are co-processed as Alternative Fuels and Raw material (AFR) in the cement making process.
This has been a win-win for both Madukkarai panchayat and ACC. The company is able to reduce its coal consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from cement making, while the panchayat gets the much coveted clean and green status, with much less waste reaching the landfill.
More recently, Goa has experimented with co-processing, setting a trend that other municipalities are looking to emulate. When Panaji was selected for conversion into one of the country’s Smart Cities, the State government was enthused to give it ‘green’ status. It planned to establish four Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) plants with a daily capacity of 100 tonnes based on the mechanical biological treatment process. While these were being created, a petition was filed in the National Green Tribunal to ensure comprehensive waste management. This included the remediation or maintenance of the old MSW dump site.
Waste management services major Geocycle India took on the task of collaborating on the remediation efforts. It screened the waste from the dump site and lifted 1000 T of the inorganic waste to check on its efficacy for pre-process and co-processing at its Wadi facility. Geocycle managed to pre-process and co-process approximately 5000 T of SCF at Wadi.
The success has not only made Goa State identify other dump sites for remediation, but also officials from other cities have been visiting Goa to learn first-hand on how it was implemented. Following this, Chennai, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Nagpur and Visakhapatnam have also initiated similar projects.
What these examples go to show is the immense potential of co-processing as a means to both reduce inorganic waste as well as the cement industry’s dependency on traditional fuels and raw material. “Besides this, co-processing reduces CO2 emissions since the inherent heat value in certain wastes is utilised in the cement kiln and it replaces, to some extent, the fossil fuels utilised in the process. If these wastes had not been co-processed, they would have been incinerated or landfilled instead, it would have led to corresponding GHG emissions,” explains Berthold Kren, who heads Geocycle India, one of the largest waste management companies, which is part of global brand LafargeHolcim and Ambuja Cement in India.
However, not every waste material can be used for co-processing, hence there is great emphasis on the system of segregation and pre-processing before applying the technology. Wastes such as non-recyclable plastics, textiles, packaging material, tyres, liquid waste byproducts such as used oil, solvents or paint sludge can be safely co-processed, while electronic waste, explosives, asbestos, unsorted municipal waste and others are a strict no-no.
In fact, co-processing is not a new concept as a waste management option. It is known to have been in practice and evaluated for over 40 years globally. The technology has been approved by the Basel Convention for disposal of all kinds of hazardous and other wastes.
According to Geocycle India, more than 90 co-processing trials have been conducted in the country at different cement kilns and with different waste streams. During the trials, detailed emission monitoring and monitoring of the final product was carried out, with the results showing that there is no detrimental impact of co-processing. These extensive trials led to co-processing being recognised and mentioned as a sustainable technology option in the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016, the Plastic Waste Management Rules 2016 and the Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016.
“Building on the global experience of Geocycle in co-processing waste, Ambuja Cement has managed to significantly contribute to the Swachh Bharat Mission and fight plastic pollution,” says Bimlendra Jha, MD & CEO of Ambuja Cement.
However, there is still tremendous potential of co-processing that can be exploited by cement companies in the country. Geocycle India itself believes it can handle a total volume of 650,822 tonnes of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) from both landfill remediation and fresh sources by 2025.
For fresh sources of RDF, the company has begun tapping biomass from farmers in the country. As this organic waste is carbon-neutral, generated in massive quantities in rural India and a renewable source of energy, it helps cement plants reduce fossil fuel use in the production process. This, in turn, meets the target of cement companies in reducing net specific CO2 emissions by 40 per cent per tonne of cement. And while doing so, there is the very big benefit of avoiding field burning of biomass and the subsequent detrimental impact on air quality.
To take forward the biomass sustainability strategy, Ambuja Cement Foundation (ACF) started a partnership with the farming community and established a farmer-producer company which began to directly supply biomass to Geocycle India. Hence, the Ambuja cement plant in Rabriyawas, Rajasthan, has processed over 12,500 tonnes of biomass in 2018.
“More than 500 farmer families around the Rabriyawas plant benefit from this partnership, are able to share knowledge with each other more easily and have increased household revenues as a result,” says Kren. Going further, Geocycle plans to set up similar partnerships with farmers in Gujarat and Maharashtra and extend it across the country. This will expand the scope of co-processing even further.

Amy Gumm, a high school student who lives in Kansas is bullied at school and has an alcoholic mother. After a fight with her mother, a tornado sweeps her up, and takes her into the Land Of Oz. Throughout the book she comes across many adventures and meets many new people. But as Amy soons figures out, Oz is not the same as it was in the stories and will her adventure end in success or pain?
First of all, this book was very captivating, and one of the best books I ever read. The writing was amazing; I have absolutley no words for this book. I would reccomend it to 13-15 year olds, and it does not necessarly have to be fans of the Wizard of Oz. The genre of this book is Fantasy, and it contains magic, fairytales, fiction, romance, and young adult. I asure you, that once you start reading, you will not be able to stop. This story kept me guessing, and I never quite knew what was going to happen next. The characters were described in detail, and I could relate to the characters and laugh and cry with them.

Samsung Steals Apple’s Face ID and Touch ID Icons for Its Password Manager
Samsung cannot help but steal Apple’s design ideas and assets. For its latest trick at CES 2020, Samsung has stolen Apple’s popular Face ID and Touch ID icons and displayed them in a presentation for their product called Samsung Pass.
Samsung Pass is the company’s “identity management as-a-service” product, or what users normally call a password manager. Through the product, Samsung will allow users to use on-device biometric authentication methods to login to apps and websites. Usernames and passwords will be safely stored in Samsung Pass, and secured by Samsung Knox, the company’s encryption technology. Samsung Pass will be pre-installed on the company’s smartphones, tablets and laptops.
When Samsung was announcing the product on stage at CES 2020, attendees found something interesting. Samsung had straight-up stolen Face ID and Touch ID icons from Apple’s products. These are not global standard icons, and Apple has created them specifically for their own products. Samsung even has its own icons for iris scanner, fingerprint reader, and face recognition on their smartphones and other devices so it was weird that they went on to show another company’s icons instead. A company that has sued them in the past for stealing design and infringing on patents.
Here are the icons in question, courtesy of Parker Ortolani, Product Development Lead at Buzzfeed:
Samsung straight up stole the Face ID icon pic.twitter.com/ifGcIDxIlb
— Parker Ortolani @ CES (@ParkerOrtolani) January 7, 2020
Here is a comparison of the icons:
This is not the first time that Samsung has taken inspiration from something Apple has made and straight-up copied it for their own use. Whether it is an icon, marketing material, app design, features or straight up complete product designs, Samsung has done it all. One would think that after growing to be one of the biggest smartphone manufacturers in the world, Samsung would have learnt to be more careful in such things.
Perhaps the saying is true: old habits die hard.

The West Usambara Mountains are found mainly in Lushoto District, but a smaller area also occurs in Korogwe District. This mountain block ranges up to 2200m altitude. The area is very highly populated with about 18,1011 distributed over 215 villages. Most land outside of government reserves and small scared forest patches is converted to farmland.
The West Usambara Mountains contain one Nature Reserve (Magamba) and 22 gazetted Forest Reserves (Mzinga, Baga – I, Baga –II, Kisima Gonja, Balangai West, Mkusu, Ndelemai, Shagayu, Shume plantation, Mweni Gombero, Kisimagonja, Mahezangulu, Bumba Mavumbi, Kikongoloi, Manka, Bombo Makole, Baghoi, Kwebagu/Hebangwe, Kwenyashu, Shambalai, Mtumbi, Kitara ridge), and 11 proposed Village Forest Reserves in Lushoto District (Mzongoti, Chambogo, Kwamongo, Kifulio, Dindira, Shukilai, Sekigoto, Yumbu, Mazashai, Tanda, Deai).
There is also one private forest, Mazumbai. The total area of reserves in Lushoto District is 38,087 ha. The mountain block also contains 7 Forest Reserves (Bumba Mavumbi, Mafi Hill, Mahenzangulu, Vugiri, Balangai East, Mgombani, Ndolwa) and 3 Private (tea estate) forests (Ambangulu, Dindira, Lutindi (KKKT)) in Korogwe District, totalling some 11,045 ha. In combination around 50,000 ha of land is under some form of protection in these mountains, much supporting natural forest and grasslands.
The forests of the area are diverse and range from sub-montane to upper montane in type. These forests are of a wetter type than those of the Pare Mountains further west. Common trees in sub-montane forest are Newtonia buchananii, Parinari excelsa, Albizia gummifera and Allanblackia stuhlmannii.
High biodiversity value with 5 strictly endemic vertebrates and 19 species endemic to Eastern Arc Mountains.
The West Usambara Mountains have high biodiversity value and support 5 strictly endemic vertebrates and another 19 species that are only found in the Eastern Arc. There are also 27 Eastern Arc endemic trees. This high biodiversity value is also found in invertebrates and in shrubs and herbs. Although biodiversity surveys are probably not complete, some parts of the West Usambara forests have been well studied over the past 100 years.
Forest fire, logging, gold mining and encroachment.
The major threats to the forests in the East Usambaras are fire spreading from surrounding farmlands, logging, gold mining and farmland encroachment (especially into ungazetted forests). There is also a serious issue of invasive species, for example of the tree Maesopsis and various shrubs, herbs and lianas.

The Skye Guide is an independent and personal view of the Isle of Skye. The things that are included in the guide are here because I like them - and because I think you might too. If something is not included, it may be because I would not recommend it to you, but it may be simply that I have not experienced it.
I am happy with that ambiguity...
Red Hills - Belig
Belig is a shapely pyramid of a hill, rising to an interesting 702m summit between Loch Ainort and Loch Slapin. The views from the top are very good indeed, making it a rewarding outing. It can be climbed fairly easily from the shore of Loch Slapin, but the route from Loch Ainort avoids all exposure and keeps the scrambling to a minimum, making the outing 'moderate' rather than 'stretching' in the categories used by the Skye Guide. This, then, is the route described here...
Trotternish - Caisteal Uisdean
Caiseal Uisdean, or Hugh's Castle, is one of the less famous castles of Skye. Its history is interesting though, and it makes a good destination for a pleasant coastal walk of under 3km return. Much of the route has been made into a vehicle track, so navigation is easy. By the point where you have to leave the track, the destination is in sight.
Northwest Skye - Neist Point
Designed and built by one of the "Lighthouse Stevensons" - in this case David A Stevenson, the light and its associated dwellings cost £4,350 when they were built in 1909. The station was converted to automatic operation in 1990 and the lightkeepers were withdrawn. The foghorn at the front left corner is no longer in use.
The walk is on a tarmacadamed path for most of the way, and there are no difficulties with navigation.
Fairy Glen - Uig
Although categorised here under 'natural wonders', this place is actually supernatural. It is also not well known - there are no roadsigns to point the way. Luckily, it isn't too difficult to find, just a short way off the main A87 south of Uig.
Leave the main road at NG397633, just by the Uig Hotel, climbing the hill on the wee road signed to Sheadar and Balnaknock. The fairies live about a mile up here. You'll certainly know when you have reached their special place.
Kinloch Lodge, Sleat
In January 2010, Kinloch Lodge was awarded Skye's first ever Michelin star - a fantastic achievement on this island of wonderful restaurants. The accolade was reaffirmed each year until 2017, and the standards achieved by head chef Marcello Tully and the team remain very good indeed.
Kinloch Lodge stands in a wonderful setting on the shore of Loch na Dal. It’s a hotel, a restaurant, a shop - all overseen by Lady Claire MacDonald, the food commentator, television presenter, writer and cook.

I’m sure you heard of the term “life coach”. But do you know what one actually is?
A life coach is someone who communicates with you to learn what areas of your life you want to make changes too.
These may include:
He or she will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and support you while you make a plan to accomplish your goals.
Once a plan is made, the goal is to guide you through the process to allow for long lasting change.
Who Needs a Life Coach?
Anyone can use a life coach. Usually one is sought out when someone experiences difficulty with some area of their life and needs assistance in making a change.
Some situations that may require a life coach are the following:
- Having a lack of creativity
- Feelings of stress and overwhelm
- Feeling unhappy with your relationship
- Wanting to switch careers but don’t know how to go about it
- Wanting to stop a bad habit(s)
- Needing a change in general but can’t figure out how
- Wanting better self care or general health
Which Type of Life Coach is Right for You?
There are many types of life coaches available. Some are more general whereas some are specialized in certain areas.
Some areas of specialization include:
- Marriage/ relationships/Divorce coaching
- Life Skills coaching
- Addiction coaching
- Behavior coaching
- Entrepreneur and business coaching
- Diet/Exercise/ health coaching
- Financial coaching
- Parenting coaching
What a Life Coach Can do for You
One of the greatest benefits of having a life coach is to gain a new insight on things you may not have seen before. It’s like a new pair of eyes.
Another benefit is that you will have someone to not only point out your strengths but will also help you overcome your weaknesses as well. It means you may accomplish more and faster than trying to tackle issues on your own.
What a Life Coach Cannot Do
Although a life coach can create a new plan to accomplish your goals and support you on your journey, he or she cannot treat you medically or “diagnose” you of any mental or physical Illnesses.
Treatment that requires that kind of therapy or medication is referred to a health care professional.
A life coach can not fix your problems. They simply assist you in creating a plan to follow and can provide support. You have to do the work.
They will be like an accountability partner that will hold you responsible for your own actions and support you on your journey.
What to Expect
Most beginning sessions start with communicating exactly what it is you are trying to achieve. It is then followed up by assessing your strength and your weaknesses.
After that, you will work together to create a feasible plan to achieve your goals. How often you meet will be determined between the two of you once a plan is established.
Overall sessions can last anywhere from a few weeks to a few years and beyond. The choice is yours.
Always keep in mind that changes take time so don’t expect immediate results. Also remember that you are the one to do the work and you create the plans. Your coach is more a guide and a support along your journey.
Where To Find a Life Coach
There are many ways to find a life coach that’s right for you. A Google search for “life coaches near me” is a start. Don’t forget you can ask friends and coworkers for referrals too.
If locality doesn’t matter check LinkedIn. There are a lot of resources from all areas there.
Search on Google and see what comes up. Try inserting the type of coaching you are looking for then research your results for one that resonates with you and your needs.
A life coach can be a worthwhile investment and a beneficial choice if you are ready to pursue your dreams and goals but may feel as though you may need a guide for your journey. Try investing in a life coach and achieve the life you always wanted.
