"Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life."
A Lesson in Geography To Children of All Ages.
by Miss S. F. Stead
Paper read before the Southport branch of the Parents' National Educational Union.
At the outset I wish to state what will shortly be obvious to all my readers, that I have taken a liberty with my title in favor of a larger treatment in a general scheme for the teaching of geography, because I consider that it will be more helpful to embrace many lessons than to treat of one only. The general scheme which I am about to set before you I should consider sufficient material for twelve months teaching.
Shall I be considered very bold in asserting that geography suffers more at the hands of its teachers than any other subject? But everyone considers that no one can do justice to his or her particular hobby excepting him or herself. As for teaching it, the enthusiastic teacher knows that there is no other who can handle History, Mathematics, Literature, French, German, or Geography as well as he. And, in fact, those who would teach must live and move in the subject before they can properly impart it to others: for what life can there be in lists, names of mountains, heights of peaks, lengths of rivers, depths of oceans--mere names and measurements, nothing more.
I have seen a small boy learning from his geographical textbook--"England is a country of many rivers. The Thames, 215 miles, is the largest, the Severn, 240 miles, is the longest; the third longest river in England is the Trent,180 miles, the fourth is the Yorkshire Ouse, 150 miles, the fifth longest river is the Great Ouse, 145 miles," and so on, learning his lesson in preparation for the next day, and forgetting more rapidly than he could learn. Feeling sorry for him, and even more so for my pet subject, I took the same lesson and made it live for him by pictures and stories. We journeyed to the source of the river Thames, through our corn growing country of Essex; through Kent, the orchard of England, lingered to look at the hop gatherers, busy as bees among the hop poles; over the heath-clad downs of Surrey, away into Middlesex to London, that magic world of our childhood! We stood on the busy wharf, examined great bales of wool, and learned how they had come all the way from Australia, talked of sheep runs and squatters in that mysterious land where summer is winter and winter is summer. In Hertfordshire, the sound of St. Albans carried us back to the Wars of the Roses, and that interest sufficed for the journey through the pastoral country of Buckinghamshire, through Berkshire to Windsor Castle itself. In Oxfordshire the names of our greatest men became real to the child, ceasing to be mere names when associated with the colleges and rivers and boats. Leaving, Oxfordshire, and passing into Gloucestershire, we climbed the Cotswold hills and imagined the tiny streamlets flowing down to feed the Thames, explaining to the child the term "affluent", from the Latin ad fluo, to flow to, or towards, and shewing him the chief of these streams, the Isis. I told him how the streams owe their origin to the sun and the rain; how, after the streamlets have grown larger and larger for forty-five miles, the river is big enough for ships, explaining the term, navigable, and telling him of the trade carried on by this largest English river, which, from the tiny stream in the Cotswold hills until it has reached the North Sea, has flowed over 215 miles of country. So with the Yorkshire Ouse: I took him through the busy manufacturing towns right to the Pennine chain, and then had a good opportunity of teaching the meaning of a water-parting in the parting of the rivers of the N.E. from those the N.W of England. Heights, lengths, depths are, I do not deny of the greatest importance and must be learned, but do not let us present them in unmitigated dry, dreary dullness.
Geography rightly understood is the study of the world, its history and its geology: in a word, all there is of interest upon the globe--the work of nature and the work of man. While the children are very young may we not teach them great facts in geology by the exercise of a little tact and skill. Thus, for instance, throwing upon the screen a map of the world as the children know it in their atlases--and let me beg my readers never to attempt either the teaching or the learning of geography without the best of atlases--we may teach the children that, once upon a time, there was no Behring Strait, but a great block of land, snow and ice extending from the Arctic regions into the centre of Europe and America, burying the north of Europe, filling up the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, spreading over the place of the Pennine Chain, covering the greater part of Wales, and stretching even to where London now stands; we may trace how very gradually the ice moved towards the north, leaving remnants in Europe in the snow-fields and glaciers of Switzerland, Norway, and the Pyrenees--of course, explaining that a glacier is a great ice river, formed by the pressure of snow into ice in the mountains and highlands, thousands of feet above the sea, which gradually slides down the valley below, and there in warmer regions, its edges being melted, often forms streams or rivers. The picture of the Mer de Glace forms a good illustration, and when we note that it moves at the rate of 18 to 25 inches a day, by measuring this on a table we shall be able to give the children a dim idea of the length of time that must have elapsed before the huge ice sheet covering Britain gradually traveled westward, leaving our land free at last. From this we can lead the children to consider the making and breaking of the coast line in England. Let us away down to Cornwall to see how the waves break on the Scilly Isles, those isles to which in olden days the Phoenicians came for stores from the rich tin mines of Cornwall, those islands where now we grow such wealth of spring flowers, those islands of which we read such thrilling stories of smuggling days and find the counterpart of the horrors on the Breton coast, where the people are akin to our own Cornishmen. Another picture gives a peep of the Cornish coast in the rocks known as Bedruthen Steps. In Mount St. Michael we now have a touch of history, and while we tell how, by the constant beating of the waves for long years, it has been cut off from Cornwall and made into an island, we also point out how, after the Norman Conquest, it was made a chapel to the Abbey of Mont St. Michael in Normandy; we tell how Perkin Warbeck held it, how later, in Charles I. time, it was held for the Royalists, but taken in 1646 by the Parliamentarians; now at the present day the monastic remains are converted into a county seat. Coming round the Isle of Wight we have a good illustration of breaking up the coast in the Needles at the western extremity of the island. On the eastern side, the coast of England is much less broken because of the calm of the North Sea, which is almost a lake, yet the quiet persistent washing of its waters wears the coast, as shewn in the Great Cave in Flamborough Head. Cave! What a word to conjure by! what tales we can tell of the cave-dwellers, of pirates and smugglers, worthy of Victor Hugo himself. Take a child, even in imagination, into this cave--for let us not forget we are teaching in the presence of a lantern--and shew the scoring by ice and wearing by the sea, and he will not forget what a cave is like. Another picture gives us the headland of Flambourough on the Yorkshire coast, where lie our cod fisheries, haddock, herring, whiting and soles, most of the fish caught being sent right away to the London markets. A child is taught that a cape or headland is "land jutting out into the sea"; what idea does this bare fact convey? Little or none, unless we can show some pictures in illustration of the definition.
If we like to make a lesson in geology, we can tell of the different layers of rock and how they have been laid down, and of how the weather has worn them away. For the present purpose we should throw on the screen a picture taken from Ireland, county Antrim, that long narrow plateau ending abruptly in the precipice of Fair Head, known also as Benmore Head, the soft chalk face of which gives endless material for lessons of all kinds. On the opposite side of the county Antrim, there is a complete change, a magical change, to hard basaltic rocks--rock made by very ancient volcanic bursts. This suggests we should explain to our children what a volcano is. We may tell them of the Giants' Causeway, carry them across to the western side of Scotland and shew them the Hebrides, Orkneys and Shetlands, tell them how once these were part of the mainland, and that Ireland was once joined to Scotland. We will shew the Island of Staffa and its great cave, Fingal's cave, which probably gains its name from those Northmen, Vikings from Denmark, who, towards the middle of the ninth century, established themselves permanently in Ireland, settling chiefly in the neighborhood of Dublin, where the remembrance of one branch in the colony is still kept green in the name given to the adjacent district, namely Fingall, a name which is probably derived from Fine gall, "the stranger clan" or "Fin-gall," "white stranger", an epithet which was possibly given by reason of some peculiarity of dress or armour. About ten years later a fresh fleet of Northmen appeared on the Irish coast, to whom native chronicles have given the name Du-gall--black strangers. Driven from their settlements, the Fingall collected great numbers to reassert their lost ascendancy, but after a severe battle they were defeated; the new comers subsequently visited Scotland, their leader devoting an entire summer, so it is affirmed, to the extirpating of the hostile Vikings from the creeks and bays in which they had sought refuge.
Further, on the same principle, the children may be interested and instructed in our foreign possessions, our colonies, our dependencies, with the purpose of inciting them in the future, not to the acquisition of more territory, but to the retaining and perfecting that which we have, and to the keeping up of our good name. What more fascinating than to trace the discovery of Australia by the names which we find on our map:--Dirk Hartog Island, named after the Dutch captain who sailed so far down the western coast in 1616; six years later another Dutch captain reached a point quite S.W and called it after his ship Leuwin (lioness): the children will eagerly trace the coast-line and find this to be the most S.W point in Australia. Before the end of the year 1627, the S.W corner had been turned by a Dutch vessel, the Golden Sea Lion, and in honor of a distinguished passenger the captain named the coast now discovered Nutys Land: it lies along the Great Australian Bight. Tasman's discovery remains in the name Tasmania. Torres, a Spaniard, being the first to pass through the Strait separating New Guinea from Queensland gave his name to the "strip of water separating two portions of land and joining two larger portions of water." Dampier, a bold Englishman, sailed along the western coast northwards, immortalizing himself in what we know as Dampier Land; then we get Captain Cook's discovery of the eastern side, and his taking possession of it in the name of Britian, calling it New South Wales, landing in an inlet fringed by strange plants, the like of which he had never beheld, and so christening the inlet Botany Bay. So, on we can go weaving a very fairy tale for the little students, of the discovery of gold by those traders who bartered their merchandise for land, set up their tents, found gold, dug for it, traded with it, until, as time went on, their little settlement grew into what is now the great city Melbourne.
(To be continued.)

British American Tobacco (Malaysia) Bhd
(Jan 19, RM33)
Maintain hold with a target price (TP) of RM 40.90: According to a theedgemarkets.com report quoting Bernama last Friday, Health Minister Datuk Seri S Subramaniam maintained that the Malaysian government will not support the proposal to reintroduce kiddie packs (pack of 10 cigarettes). He also highlighted that if this proposal was approved, it would be against the National Tobacco Policy and Article 8 of the World Health Organisation’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC).
Tobacco companies in Malaysia, including British American Tobacco (Malaysia) Bhd (BAT), on Sep 6, 2017 proposed to the government the reintroduction of smaller cigarette packs. Their aim was to increase legal cigarettes sales by cutting down on illicit volumes, while boosting government’s revenue from tobacco tax. Smaller packs of cigarettes were available at seven, 10, and 14 sticks before they were banned by the health ministry in 2010. The rationale for a smaller cigarette pack is to provide consumers a cheaper legal option by increasing the affordability of a pack of cigarettes. As at Aug 2017, BAT reported that illicit sales formed 56.1% of the market’s total sales volume, a sharp increase from 36.3% in 2010. BAT is confident the introduction of kiddie packs, coupled with better enforcement efforts to clamp down on illicit trade, could result in illicit volumes declining by 55% over the next three years. We expect the illicit trade to remain a thorn in legal sales volume, given that consumer spending remains weak at this juncture.
Previously, we estimated that the reintroduction of a 10-stick pack could increase BAT’s earnings by 14.2% to 17.8% in the finanial year 2018 (FY18) to FY19 period through a 15% to 20% increase in volume. However, we did not factor in any earnings contribution from the sales of any kiddie pack pending updates on this matter.
We make no changes to our “hold” call and discount dividend model (DDM)-based TP of RM40.90 pending the release of BAT’s full-year FY17 results and its response to this matter. Although we believe BAT’s earnings prospects are slated to improve in 2018 from lower illicit trade and higher sales volume, we would only turn more positive when it registers more significant improvement in sales volume.
Downside/upside risks include stronger/weaker-than-expected sales volume and changes to excise duties. — CIMB Research, Jan 18

Here is a little step by step look at the making on one of my latest pillows. I didn't realize how much I would like drawing on fabric, but it's really fun!
With just about everything I do, there's usually an initial sketch. Even if it's a drawing, I like to get the overall layout down quickly, so I'll draw it out and then go and re-draw it somewhere else when it's all planned.
This photo is good because it shows how important it is to have all your supplies laid out. Coffee, snacks, sunglasses for some reason. I think this day they had the vanilla bean scones = awesome. Those thing are so good and they almost NEVER have them. Don't know what the problem is. If you know a Starbucks that carries them regularly I'd love to know about it. Anyways... So in this case I was drawing on a white tee. I like to use vintage fabric, but this was a new shirt. The fabric gets stretched over a board and pinned down and I get to sketching. Should have done more progress shots, but it only occurred to me halfway through, so this is what you get.
It took maybe 3 hours to draw the whole thing. I like to be picky about shading and things. And I'll draw over the same line probably 10 times until it's the thickness and texture I want.
My original plan was to have the pillow be the shapes of the owls, but I sewed it up that way and the seams weren't laying right. It was passable, but not really nice, so I took it all apart and made it into a square shaped patchwork pillow instead. Doing the patchwork was pretty involved, but I think it came out great. And that's the story of how this pillow was made.

BYU basketball: Cougars put a hundred on Chicago State
Provo • Four games in and Brigham Young is exactly where Dave Rose hoped it would be, undefeated and ready to face its first test away from the Marriott Center.
Only Tuesday's home game with Mississippi Valley State remains before BYU heads to Texas to play South Florida in the South Padre Island Invitational on Nov. 26.
"We feel really comfortable with a certain group of guys," Rose said following his team's 109-60 blowout of Chicago State, his 130th victory at BYU. "What we need to do is expand that. Consistency is what we're looking for the next few weeks."
Saturday's margin of victory allowed the Cougar coach to experiment with different combinations as well as providing valuable minutes to end of the BYU bench as 11 players scored, six in double figures, led by Jimmer Fredette's 27.
For the record, Kyle Collinsworth, who finished with 12 points, dropped in BYU's 100th point with a free throw. Chris Collinsworth and Brandon Davies finished with 15 points each.
"We were able to push it, to play at our tempo," Collinsworth said. "Games like this...it allows us to make adjustments. For me, I tried to do things I don't normally do to try new things."
As far as Saturday's result was concerned, it did not take long to realize Chicago State (1-3), part of the Great West Conference, was completely outclassed. The Cougars (4-0) took a 60-29 lead into half.
The Cougars were relentless on both ends of the court, pulling down 18 offensive rebounds, while forcing 21 turnovers. .
Bombing away from the perimeter, Fredette went 5-for-6 from beyond the arc shot and 9 of 12 total in his 21 minutes, on the court.
"We came out and attacked well in the first 10 minutes of the game," said Rose, who was also unhappy with how the Cougars hurried too much in the final eight minutes. "We shot the ball with a lot of confidence and defensively we forced them into tough shots.
"We were able to play a lot of guys and get them a lot of experience."
R BYU finishes with 23 assists and 18 offensive rebounds, while forcing 21 turnovers.

Japchae Recipe For 2 The Latest Trend In Japchae Recipe For 2
During Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, TODAY is administration the community’s history, pain, joy and what’s abutting for the AAPI movement. We will be publishing claimed essays, stories, videos and specials throughout the absolute ages of May.
I’m not abiding if there’s annihilation I adulation added than a ancestors barbecue.
I consistently attending advanced to the few times a year my ancestors gets calm over trays of broiled meat amidst by all the constituent of a food-loving Korean American family.
Of course, a restaurant Korean barbecue advance isn’t the aforementioned as our barbecues, but we still whip up absolutely the crowd-satisfying results. Bulgogi, thinly-cut beef that’s been marinated and quick to baker on a hot grill, ability accomplish an appearance. Instead of authoritative soondubu (soft tofu stew) on a hot day, you can accomplish broiled clams, squid or a wrapped-up salmon. And the abandon are debatably the best part: japchae (glass noodles), broiled candied corn, candied potatoes or one of my sister’s summery, dressed-up salads. Dessert will either be affably brought in the anatomy of a adorable bake-apple tart, cheesecake, ice chrism or bright tteok (rice cakes).
This accomplished year, if there has been any barbecuing in my life, it’s aloof been for myself and my bedmate in our tiny kitchen in the Bronx, New York. Not that we apperception scarfing bottomward all the advantage or that, after, our accommodation smells like candied and smoky, broiled sesame oil heaven! But the best allotment has consistently been the accumulation acquaintance of it — lots of laughs, communicable up and amaranthine feasting — and we attending advanced to bringing it aback this summer.
Here’s a attending into some of my favorites Korean barbecue foods.
The advance for Korean banchan at a restaurant is a admirable one, but the one I serve up in my domiciliary is a basal version. These are some of the ones usually on our table:
What would a Korean barbecue be after kimchi?
Amongst the banchan at a Korean barbecue restaurant, you ability see sometimes see a baby basin of macaroni or potato salad. And potato bloom is one of my admired barbecue and barbecue sides. With a nice little bang from the kimchi, it’s a basin association will acquiescently accumulate advancing aback to crumb on.
Put your chopped, adapted potatoes into a ample bond bowl. Set aside.
In a medium-size bowl, amalgamate the chopped kimchi, celery, chives, mayonnaise, acerb cream, mustard, red wine vinegar, honey, onion powder, smoked paprika, adequate alkali and atramentous pepper. Whisk calm well.
Add the wet admixture to the potatoes, and again use a ample spoon, angle or elastic spatula to thoroughly amalgamate together.
Cover the basin and air-condition for about 2 hours, or at best, overnight, for all the flavors to amalgamate together. Garnish with gochugaru for a little added spiciness.
With all the meat involved, it’s important to agency in some beginning vegetable dishes. These two dishes are abundantly simple to accomplish and both can be fabricated with absolutely the aforementioned ingredients. With sigeumchi namul (seasoned appearance salad) and kongnamul muchim (soybean sprout salad), it was never adamantine to argue me to bethink to eat my vegetables.
To accomplish the sigeumchi namul, amalgamate the abashed appearance with minced garlic, sesame oil, salt, pepper, chopped scallions and broiled sesame seeds. Mix capacity thoroughly. Awning basin in artificial blanket and let it arctic in the fridge for about 20 to 30 minutes, again serve.
To accomplish the kongnamul muchim, amalgamate the soybean sprouts with minced garlic, sesame oil, salt, pepper, chopped scallions and broiled sesame seeds. Mix capacity thoroughly and serve anon or awning and arctic until accessible to serve.
The simplest cuts of meat are usually the ones we crave the best for barbecuing. My ancestors absolutely loves my dad’s kalbi the most, but all of these cuts flash back broiled over medium-high calefaction and enjoyed appropriate away.
It doesn’t get easier than affable pork belly. Affable time depends on thickness, but for the best part, barbecue it on anniversary ancillary for about two minutes, and if it’s a blubbery slice, cut it into 1-inch-wide pieces and acquiesce them to barbecue for addition minute or so.
Tender and delicious, this is addition accessible and quick-to-cook cut. On aerial heat, barbecue for about a minute or so on anniversary ancillary (try not to go too crisp with this one — it can get tough!).
Though the carnivore in me loves all kalbi, LA kalbi, the crabbed cut of abbreviate rib meat (the “LA” is for crabbed — not the city), is my favorite. It’s a good, blubbery chaw of breakable meat eaten appropriate off the bone. Though this compound is accounting for my admired cut of kalbi, the alkali can calmly be acclimated on chicken, pork, salmon, tofu and mushrooms.
Make your marinade: In a basin or barometer cup, amalgamate the broiled sesame oil, amber sugar, soy sauce, atramentous pepper and chopped scallions. Mix able-bodied until absolutely combined.
Put your abbreviate ribs into addition ample bond bowl. Cascade the alkali over the abbreviate ribs and, application gloved hands, covering and beating the meat able-bodied with the alkali and accomplish abiding that all the capacity are blanket every inch of the meat possible.
When the meat is well-coated, put all the meat into a ample accumulator alembic (even abacus as abundant of the extra alkali as accessible from the bond bowl). Secure your alembic lid and let it air-condition overnight, six to eight hours recommended, but if you can’t delay that long, again two hours will suffice. Brief is best, because the acidity will be added saturated and the amoroso will advice best abate this thicker cut of meat.
Heat your barbecue to a average high. Barbecue the meat for about two to three account on anniversary side, application the tongs to cast them. If you appetite to bisect into sections for a crowd: Once broiled on both sides, use kitchen shears to cut anniversary allotment into three sections (one cartilage per section) and abide absolution them baker for addition minute.
Set abreast adapted meat on a confined basin or basin and enjoy!
What is broiled meat after sauce? Here are two simple ones to put together. The best allotment about the admonition for both is that they’re absolutely the same: Aloof cascade capacity into a bowl, activity until absolutely accumulated and adore with your barbecued meat.
While the sesame oil booze is bigger for dipping, the ssamjang is best spooned into a bill blanket abounding of rice and barbecued meat.

Water bills have been on the rise for some time. In fact, the average combined water and wastewater costs have jumped 43% since 2012. In some places – particularly drought-prone ones – the problem’s even worse.
6. Add a greywater system.
“The smartest thing you can do is invest in an at-home graywater recycling system,” says Riggs Eckelberry, founder and CEO of OriginClear, a water treatment solutions provider in Clearwater, Florida. “These are incredible machines that allow you to get the most out of your water. They capture and clean water from bathroom sinks, washing machines, bathtubs, showers and dishwashers so that you can reuse it for secondary purposes.”

BEBAS petition MPs to vote against Hadi’s Bill
(MMO) – A secular activist group has submitted a petition to all MPs today to reject a private member’s Bill to enhance the Shariah courts, should it be tabled in the coming Dewan Rakyat sitting.
The group calling itself BEBAS listed three reasons as to why the Bill should be opposed, which among others claimed that the law would exacerbate the unequal treatment of Muslims and non-Muslims; invalid concrete evidence to prove that the proposed law would be effective; and the possible abuse of the law if it was passed.
“Those who support the proposed amendment to Act 355 seem to refuse to acknowledge the grave weaknesses in the protection of the accused under the current system. Any move to enhance Shariah punishments will only make things worse.
“If you stay silent or if you support the proposed amendment to Act 355, it means that you’re allowing injustices in your own community,” the group said in a statement.
Act 355 refers to the Shariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 that PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang aims to amend with his private member’s Bill.
The Bill aims to raise the ceiling on Shariah punishments from three years’ imprisonment, six strokes of the cane and an RM5,000 fine to 30 years’ imprisonment, 100 strokes, and an RM100,000 fine.
PAS and other Islamist groups will be holding a gathering this Saturday called Himpunan 355 at Padang Merbok between 3pm and 11pm, in support of Hadi and the Bill.
On the same day, BEBAS will hold a counter-rally against Himpunan 355 at Taman Jaya park in Petaling Jaya.

Background and Purpose:
The morbidity and early mortality associated with stroke is largely attributable to cerebral edema and elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). Existing pharmacotherapies do not target the underlying pathophysiology and are often ineffective in sustainably lowering ICP, whilst decompressive craniectomy (DC) surgery is life-saving yet with surgical/peri-operative risk and increased morbidity in the elderly. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for therapies that directly target the mechanisms of edema genesis. Neurogenic inflammation, mediated by substance P (SP) binding to the tachykinin NK1 receptor (NK1-r), is associated with blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, cerebral edema and poor outcome post-stroke. NK1-r antagonist treatment ameliorates BBB dysfunction and cerebral edema in rodent stroke models. However, treatment has not been investigated in a large animal model, an important step toward clinical translation. Consequently, the current study compared the efficacy of NK1-r antagonist treatment to DC surgery in reducing ICP post-stroke in a clinically relevant ovine model.
Anesthetized female Merino sheep (65 ± 6 kg, 18–24 months) underwent sham surgery (n = 4) or permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (n = 22). Stroke animals were randomized into one of 5 treatments: 1×NK1 bolus (4 h), 2×NK1 bolus (4 h;9 h), 3×NK1 bolus (4 h;9 h;14 h), DC surgery (performed at 4 h) or saline vehicle. ICP, blood pressure and blood gasses were monitored for 24 h post-stroke. At 24 h post-stroke anesthetized animals underwent MRI followed by perfusion and brains removed and processed for histological assessment.
2×NK1, 3×NK1 administration or DC surgery significantly (p < 0.05) reduced ICP compared to vehicle. 1×NK1 was ineffective in sustainably lowering ICP. On MRI, midline shift and cerebral edema were more marked in vehicles compared to NK1-r treatment groups.
Two or three boluses of NK1-r antagonist treatment reduced ICP comparable to DC surgery, suggesting it may provide a novel alternative to invasive surgery for the management of elevated ICP.

How would you deal when you are ready for marriage but your partner isn’t?
The word “marriage” has a negative connotation for many people.
One contributing factor to this is the high divorce rate among baby boomers, impacting the way millennials view the institution of marriage as a whole.
There’s also the movement away from the more traditional practice of marrying for religious reasons, financial concerns with the cost of getting married, and simply not wanting to give up an independent, single lifestyle. The average age for first marriages is now 27 for women and 29 for men, compared to 20 for women and 23 for men in 1960.
Interestingly, more couples than ever are moving in together before (or in lieu of) getting married.
As a result, many couples now find themselves in a sea of uncertainty when it comes to tying the knot.
Should we wait? If so, for how long?
Should we even get married?
If you find yourself sitting on the other side of the fence than your partner, know that you’re not alone. Here are a few things to consider to help you navigate the situation when you’re ready to tie the knot and your partner isn’t.
Define what marriage means to you
The definition of marriage is changing in our world today. In earlier generations, couples married for logistical reasons such as property ownership or social status and hoped love was somewhere in the mix. Couples today are looking for their soul mate.
They seek marriage for lifelong friendship, pleasure, and connection.
What does marriage mean to you?
What does it mean to your partner?
Do you know?
The key here is not to let your anxieties about what your partner may say deter you from having a conversation that could allow both of you to understand each other better.
Turning towards your partner in this conversation will help to strengthen your relationship as a couple whether you decide to get married or not.
In any relationship, learning each other’s communication or “love language” style is critical to making someone feel heard and understood. When you don’t feel that you’re being heard, you may not feel love. Read 3 ‘Love Language’ Communication Skills That Will Strengthen Your Relationship
Define why marriage is important to you
Why is marriage important to you?
You can focus on why your partner might not be ready, but I’ve found it incredibly helpful to get clear first on my own dreams and goals.
If you want to get married because you’re afraid of being alone for the rest of your life, you may want to reconsider if you are taking this big step for the right reasons.
If you want to get married because you’re worried your partner isn’t fully invested and marriage would prove their commitment to you, you may want to reconsider your motives.

The other night, I found myself feeling tired and out of sorts. An upset stomach had been bothering me, draining my energy, and leaving me feeling blah. Determined to shake off the lethargy, I decided to do yoga, focusing on poses known to soothe the stomach and boost energy levels. However, after a couple of poses, I realized I needed to do a routine that would also wake me up! I had a long to-do list, and I felt like doing none of it.
My mind ran to Sah D’Simone, a guy on Instagram that my sister and I follow. His posts often feature spontaneous dances or uplifting messages, and my sister and I enjoy them. My sister says he reminds her of me, as the stuff he is doing or saying is something I would as well. I do always talk about the power of movement to lift spirits, whether through a nature walk, impromptu dance session, or simply getting up and stretching. Although I had never attended any of his workshops or watched his dance technique videos, I decided to give one a try.
Finding a video on YouTube, I prepared to get moving. As I started following along, I couldn't help but feel a little self-conscious and silly. Allowing my body to move freely, I giggled at the thought of someone walking in and witnessing my antics. Yet, I persisted, making the movements bigger, which made me laugh at myself even more and helped to lift my mood instantly.
As the movements grew more challenging, I began to work up a sweat, realizing this was more than just a casual dance. This was a workout! The video combined dance sequences with mantras, encouraging participants to move and recite affirmations simultaneously. I certainly did not replicate the moves perfectly, but I kept moving, feeling the energy course through my body. After the dance segment, Sah guided a seated breathing exercise and meditation.
After completing the routine, I was busy gathering my books to start back working, and I suddenly noticed how I felt. I had more energy, and I was in a lighter mood! It was a stark reminder of the power of movement to shift one's mood. Though it may not always be the first thing we feel like doing when we're feeling low, more often than not, it's precisely what we need. I encourage you to incorporate movement into your day, not just for your physical health but also for your overall well-being and mood.
Here is the link to the video! If you give it a try, let me know how it goes, and feel free to share other somatic dance videos you enjoy!

Los Angeles Addiction Facilities: The Most Famous Ones
Los Angeles is a very unique city when looking at its position in the United States and in the world, and the influence that it has on the rest of the world through its association and domination of the film industry, and because of this there are a lot of famous and influential people who do live in the city. Because of this there is a significant number of people that use addiction facilities in Los Angeles, and inevitably some of these will be from the entertainment industries that are so important in the city, which is why the centers in Los Angeles tend to get more attention than those in other cities.
However, it is not only the extra media attention that will make the reputation of the most popular and the most famous Los Angeles addiction facilities, with the success rates and the abstinence levels once the treatment is over and the addict is back at home being a big factor of the facilities developing their reputations. Here are profiles of some of the most famous facilities in Los Angeles:
Betty Ford Center
The Betty Ford Center is probably one of the most famous and well-known of the addiction treatment facilities in the Los Angeles area, being set just a short distance away in Rancho Mirage. Being the brainchild of the former first lady Betty Ford who actually founded the center in the 1980s, it is a facility which has had proven results with the people that it has helped, including a number of celebrities who have spoken publicly about how they have been helped through the staff and treatment at the center.
The center itself has a wide range of treatments available, from the residential stays for those needing intensive twenty four hour treatment to the day visits and the outpatient treatments that are also available for those who are dealing with their addictions. Celebrities such as Stevie Nicks, Lindsay Lohan and Johnny Cash have all been visitors to the center, and among the 90,000 people who have been treated at the facility since it first opened in 1982.
Pasadena Recovery Center
Another of the popular addiction treatment facilities for addicts in the Los Angeles area is the Pasadena Recovery Center, which has been at the center of the TV show 'Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew', which is a very popular program where a number of high profile individuals including Dennis Rodman, Steven Adler and Janice Dickinson have all been treated for the VH1 show. However, this is only one facet of the work of the center, which helps those suffering from alcohol and substance addictions.
The Pasadena Recovery Center has been helping addicts to cope with their problems for over 10 years, and was originally founded by the psychiatrist Dr. Lee Bloom. Similarly to the other sites mentioned, this center offers both residential and outpatient treatment and has trained medical and psychiatric staff based at the center that can also deal with patients who have been diagnosed with mental issues which are triggering or exacerbating their substance addictions.
Clearview Treatment Programs
Another of the groups which offers addiction treatment facilities in Los Angeles is the Clearview Treatment Programs group which operates a number of facilities in the area. This is another addiction treatment facility which has been operating for over a decade, and was founded by Michael Roy, and has the capacity to treat people with a variety of substance and alcohol addictions along with other psychiatric issues as well.
Because of the variety and differences between the different problems that can arise with addictions and their related problems, the group offers a number of different facilities looking at the different problems that addictions can cause.
The Hills Treatment Center
Another of the more famous addiction treatment centers in Los Angeles is The Hills Treatment Center, which has been founded by the noted media contributor and addiction treatment specialist Dr Howard Samuels. Dr. Samuels has extensive experience in treating addictions for a number of years, and has first hand experience after overcoming his own problems with cocaine in the late sixties and early seventies. His column with the Huffington Post and contributions to TV shows such as 'Good Morning America' and 'The Today Show' has brought a lot of attention to his addiction treatment center.
As with most of the centers that operate in the Los Angeles area, The Hills treatment center has both inpatient and outpatient treatment facilities, and has a wide range of treatments available which can help addicts to deal with their problems and overcome the addiction in the way that is most suitable to them. By offering the most suitable options for individuals, whether it is an intensive outpatient or a visit to the welcoming residential treatment facility, addicts can find that there is a lot to offer in the facility.
Being a city where there is always a party going on, finding substance abuse problems is quite a common occurrence in the city which has the unofficial moniker 'Sin City' because of all the indulgences that are available in the city.
However, dealing with the issues is something that is very important, and being in control of the problem can help addicts to get back to a more normal and productive life by learning to cope and to resist the addiction and to find alternatives to their addiction, and sites such as lagop.us can be useful resources for those looking for recovery.
By looking for addiction treatment centers in Los Angeles, it is the first step to dealing with an addiction, and although these are just a few of the options available, there are many centers which will have programs, both residential or outpatient depending on what is most suitable for the addict, which can really help the addict to start to come to terms with their addiction, and to find a realistic solution. Dealing with addiction is never going to be easy, but with the help of centers such as the ones profiled here, it is possible to overcome and to return to a happy and productive life after addiction.

Incorporate different levels by adding elevated platforms or terraces within the container. This technique adds visual interest and makes the miniature landscape feel more expansive.
Adding Elements of Surprise
To make your mini garden truly captivating, add elements of surprise and whimsy. Introduce miniature figurines, tiny furniture, and accessories that complement your theme. Consider creating miniature scenes, such as a picnic area, a fairytale cottage, or a hidden path leading to a secret garden.
These delightful details will bring your miniature landscape to life and engage the viewer’s imagination.
Maintaining Your Mini Garden
Caring for your mini garden is crucial to ensure its longevity and vitality. Monitor the moisture levels of the soil and water accordingly, avoiding overwatering or underwatering. Place your mini garden in an appropriate location based on the light requirements of the plants.
Prune and trim the plants as needed to maintain their shape and prevent overcrowding. Regularly remove debris and fallen leaves to keep the mini garden tidy and healthy.

Aaron Sorkin would seem an interesting choice to direct “Being the Ricardos” – a biopic about Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz during their time making television’s first big “superhit” sitcom, “I Love Lucy.” Sorkin succeeds in telling stories most of us don’t know. Think “Molly’s Game,” his brilliant rags-to-riches-to-rags story of former Olympic downhill skier Molly Bloom, who later operated a celebrity-ridden high-stakes poker empire in Hollywood.
Even last year’s “Trial of the Chicago 7” told a story most people alive today don’t know, and others have long since forgotten. But who doesn’t know about the Ricardos? Heck, Lucy and Desi were so famous most people simply referred to them by their first names only – even years after “I Love Lucy” was no longer on the air.
We know CBS executives were apprehensive about using a Latino actor in a leading role. We also know that Lucy was the first television performer whose pregnancy was written into her character so she could continue to perform weekly throughout her parturiency. For that matter, most of us know CBS wouldn’t even allow the word “pregnant” on the air. We know Desi cheated on Lucy, which eventually led to the collapse of their marriage.
But how many of us know the House Un-American Activities Committee accused Lucy of being a communist? Or that Desi used his powerful connections to “rescue” Lucy from the bad press surrounding such allegation? Or that these three potential trainwrecks (the pregnancy, the extramarital affair, and the communist association) occurred the same week? And that the cast and writers still managed to churn out a show that week?
Leave it Sorkin (who wrote the original screenplay) to sort out all these script points, jump back and forth in time, and still produce a very coherent film. “Being the Ricardos” is one of this year’s treats. And while I give Sorkin most of the credit, the acting (much as it was in “Molly’s Game”) is top-notch.
Be honest. When you first heard Nicole Kidman would play Lucille Ball, you thought that was a casting nightmare waiting to happen. Kidman doesn’t even carry herself like Lucy, let alone speak (or whine) the same way. Yet, somehow she succeeds. First, we need to understand that the character of Lucy Ricardo was an exaggeration of Lucille Ball’s actual personality. Lucy didn’t act like her television personification until the cameras rolled.
Second, we must understand that Lucille Ball was brilliant. She was TV’s first lead female performer for a reason. She was very smart. Her comedic timing was so sharp, she was able to discern that a joke would not work properly during the first script read-through at the beginning of the week. And she was instantly able to advise her writers how to fix it.
Because of this (her smarts and her willingness to tell the sometimes-difficult truth to her writing staff and fellow performers), Lucy had a reputation as difficult and bossy. Kidman portrays Lucy as both difficult and bossy, but she lets us see her soft side. It’s a delicate role to play, and Kidman threads the proverbial needle deftly. Too controlling and we don’t like her; too sweet and we don’t understand why the rest of the staff acquiesced to her demands.
Likewise, Javier Bardem (who often plays the heavy) would seem a curious choice to play the comedic Desi Arnaz. But Bardem’s performance shows us not only that he can play any role, but that Desi was more introspective than we might have guessed. Character actress Nina Arianda (“Stan & Ollie”) plays Vivian Vance, and J.K. Simmons is hilarious as the (apparently) hard-drinking William Frawley. But Frawley turns out to be more introspective than first meets the eye. In fact, Sorkin presents Vance and Frawley as close friends and confidants to Lucy. Of those who play the writing and production staff of “I Love Lucy,” Alia Shawkat stands out as Madeline Pugh, a staff writer who also served as a personal advisor to Lucy.
As Sorkin’s screenplay guides us through this tumultuous week of rehearsals and outside scandals, he peppers the script with a generous helping of flashbacks, where we learn how Lucy and Desi met, fell in love, and landed their hit TV show. That’s a lot of balls to juggle, but Sorkin is a pro at this. Prior to his directing career, he was a playwright and screenwriter – particularly adept at biopics, which has now become his forte as a director.
Perhaps it is because I had reservations about “Being the Ricardos” that I liked it so well. But following a second viewing, I believe it ranks as one of the year’s best films. And “Being the Ricardos” never becomes complacent. Sorkin’s films grab our attention and never let go of their grip. This one is no exception.

The majority of the cars on the road today are equipped with an airbag system. Many cars have the basic front seat driver and passenger airbags. While other cars may have many more airbags distributed around the inside of the passenger compartment. What this means is that you and your passengers are protected in case of an accident.
But how do you know for sure that the airbags will deploy when they are needed? Well, that’s what the airbag module is for. It not only deploys the airbags but will continually check to be sure they are in working order. If a problem with the airbag system is detected then you will be alerted by the airbag light on your dashboard. If the airbag light is on and stays on solid, you need to take action as soon as possible.
What is the airbag light?
The airbag light in your car indicates that there may be a problem with the airbag system. This warning light is integrated into the car’s safety system which includes the seat belts and airbags. The most common types of warning lights are:
- A display of the letters “SRS” (supplemental restraint system)
- A display of the outline of a driver with an airbag deploying
- A display of written warnings such as “Air Bag”, “Air Bag Off” or “Air Bag Deactivated!”
Top reasons why your airbag light is on
If the airbag/SRS warning light comes on solid it may not necessarily mean that there is a problem with the airbag system. Since there are several other components involved in the system, the problem could be elsewhere. As a first step it is a good idea to check each of the seat belt switches to ensure they fasten properly. If the seatbelts appear to be fastening properly then you should consider the following possibilities:
Depleted airbag backup battery
The airbags are deployed by the car’s main battery. Since it is usually located in the front engine compartment it is susceptible to damage in a front-end collision. For this reason, there is a second backup battery that is charged by the main battery. If the main battery is destroyed before the airbags are deployed, the backup battery will ensure that the airbags deploy. It is worth noting that if the main battery discharges the backup battery will also discharge. Usually, once the main battery is recharged the backup battery will recharge as well. In some rare cases, an error code will be set that will turn the airbag light on.
Damaged impact sensors or wires
Also known as crash sensors, they are distributed around the car body and are used to detect an impact. If an accident occurs and the impact sensor is not functional then the airbags will not deploy.
Worn clock springs (mechanical or electronic) issue
Located in the steering column, the clock spring is responsible for triggering the deployment of the airbag via a signal from the impact sensor. This issue is more common in older cars with mechanical clock springs that are more prone to failure over time. Newer cars have electronic clock springs that are not prone to failure.
Corroded or shorted airbag module
This module controls the operation of the entire airbag system. It processes information from the impact sensors to determine which airbags to deploy in an accident. In older cars, the front airbags are deployed via the clock spring in the steering column. In newer cars, additional airbags (passenger or side curtain) may also be deployed. Since this module is located under the seats, it’s very susceptible to moisture and corrosion which may make it inoperable.
How to reset the airbag light?
In a manual way
A blinking airbag light indicates that the airbag module was not reset properly after a deployment or some other service that was performed. If that is the case, you can reset the light in a manual way by following these steps:
- Move the ignition key to the “ON” position so that the airbag light comes on normally
- When the airbag light starts to blink turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position for at least 3 seconds
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the airbag light no longer blinks
- If it continues to blink after repeated attempts, you will need to bring your car to a shop for analysis
With an airbag scanner
If the airbags have never been deployed and the light is on solid, this indicates that the airbag module has detected a problem. If that is the case, you will need to identify the problem with an airbag scanner. The airbag code reader will scan the car and provide an accurate diagnosis of the problem. There are many devices available, that you can purchase, to perform this diagnosis. The other option is to bring your car in to a professional to perform the diagnosis and make the necessary repairs.
Is it wise to drive with the airbag light?
No, it is never wise to continue driving your car with the airbag/SRS light on solid or blinking. This is especially true if you drive long distances or in heavy traffic because the risk of an accident increases. You do not want to take the chance that the airbags will not deploy if you are in a collision. You should assume that if your airbag light comes on, your safety is at risk. In this situation, it is important that you have it checked out as soon as possible.
The Bottom Line
Whether you buy a scanner and perform the test yourself or bring your car in to a shop, it is your choice. Driving your car with the light on will not cause any damage to your car. The damage will happen to you and your passengers if the airbags don’t deploy in the event of a collision. The bottom line is that if the airbag light comes on unexpectedly you need to address the situation as quickly as possible. Driving around in an unsafe car is not an option when your life is on the line.

Research Training Experiences
The Mucosal Immunology and Developmental Gastroenterology Laboratories have had a twenty-five year experience in training undergraduate students, medical students, graduate students and postdoctoral/pediatric gastroenterology fellows in mucosal immunology and developmental gastroenterology. Many of these students have gone on to a research career in gastrointestinal immunology. Background information is available for a research training experience at each of these levels.
Undergraduate College Students
In general, college students who are biochemistry, biology, chemistry, or premedical, majors can apply for a summer fellowship in the summer following their junior year in college, e.g., after junior level courses in biochemistry, biology and other related disciplines, or as part of the DePauw University Science Research Fellows (SRF) Program. These Science Fellows can plan to spend a summer and a semester either preceding (spring semester) or following (fall semester) their summer in the laboratory. Our experience with this program and with other undergraduates has allowed these students to decide on a career in medicine or science. Many pre-medical students as a result of the summer or summer/semester experience have decided to apply for MD/PhD programs rather than MD programs after the experience. Any student interested in a summer fellowship should contact Dr. Allan Walker (email@example.com) by the January before the anticipated summer experience in order to ensure placement and funding for the fellowship. Science Fellows from DePauw University should contact the Director of the Science Research Fellows Program via firstname.lastname@example.org in the semester preceding the planned research experience to ensure SRF credit for the internship experience. Other DePauw University students interested in linking a semester with a research summer in the laboratory need to be planning a year in advance and the Science Research Fellows office can help them navigate the university application process.
Since 1994, this laboratory has had a close relationship with the Science Research Fellows Program at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. Thirty students have come to Boston to take advantage of the biomedical laboratory experience, witness pediatric medical rounds on the wards of MGH Hospital for Children, or shadow medical doctors in various subspecialties during winter term. These undergraduate students have gone on to medical schools throughout the USA as medical students or as MD-PhD students (Vijay Rao, University of South Carolina; David Peaper, Yale University; Cheryl Young, Emory University School of Medicine). Others have chosen to get a PhD degree in molecular biology, immunology, or nutrition.
List of DePauw students since 1994:
Medical Students Fellowship
Generally medical students can participate in a summer research experience after their first year in medical school and can obtain a position in the laboratory by contacting either Dr. Allan Walker (email@example.com) or individual laboratory investigators. To ensure funding, contacts need to be made six months in advance.
PhD and MD/PhD graduate students in the Immunology Program or Microbiology Program can contact individual investigators with permission from their advisors to consider a research plan for their thesis. Please make contact with individual investigators for this purpose.
Currently there are fourteen postdoctoral fellows in our laboratory (see sidebar). They have generally made direct contact with a principal investigator in the laboratory to secure a position. We also have several postdoctoral PhDs and MDs from outside of the United States who come for a period of two to three years. These individuals are funded by a variety of vehicles (NRSA’s, training grant slots, foundation and unrestricted grants from industry). To obtain more information about our program contact either Dr. Allan Walker or individual investigators. For general information contact Ms. Suzzette McCarron.

ALAN STIVELL AND HIS MUSIC ORIGINAL, MODERN YET STEEPED IN CENTURIES-OLD THEMES AND BEATS
He doesn't fit neatly into any category. Yet he does have affinities with the wave of folk-music (emphasis and meaning of lyrics, ethnic origins and purity of music) which has swept over Europe from the U.S. in recent years. People refer to him in terms of "Celtic pop" or "Breton folk-musiq". He himself prefers "ethnic-modern" music and claims allegiance to the "progressive folk" movement now clearing the way for pop music to explore rich new fields.
Disregarding labels, ALAN STIVELL is above all an accomplished musician, with a personality and artistic temperament all his own.
He is the only singer in the world who accompanies himself on the medieval Celtic harp, with its bewitching crystal sound, and the only male singer to play today's Celtic harp called the Irish harp.
ALAN STIVELL's originality in composition and arrangements is given full range on his Celtic harps which he plays not only in the classical way (on the finger tips), in the medieval way (using the nails), but also in a modern way, trying out new techniques and modern accompaniments.
"STIVELL" means "spring" (or source) in Breton and, typically, Alan has always felt, even as a child, that he needed terribly, "physically" as it were, to "take root" — "In today's general unsecurity," he says, "it's vital to be firmly anchored."
So his originality springs from traditional Celtic music, which he considers to be at the origin of white-American folk-music and of many groups' inspiration (some of the Beatles' songs are true Celtic themes).
Neither recognised nor exploited yet, Celtic music is now given a chance according to ALAN STIVELL. "Progressive folk" is namely leading the way towards fantastic discoveries.
"Personally, I had to find my cultural roots, so that, once firmly anchored; I could follow my bent, and I wouldn't be a slave to money nor fashion," he maintains. One of STIVELL's song-titles illustrates his point succinctly: Pop Plinn, for the plinn rhythm, still very much alive in Brittany, is to be found in pre-celtic civilisations of the megalithic era.
It's hardly possible to be more aware of his original musical inheritance for any young modern musician …
