Hooking Up vs. Lasting Love: Its Your Choice
"hooking Up" - "friends with benefits" - "booty call"
These terms have become all too familiar in today's dating world. Are they words that you can relate to? Have you lived them in some way? If so, how have you felt about the experience(s) both during and after? Chances are that you have mixed feelings at best. Depending on your age and sex, you may give a somewhat different response to this question. Whatever your answer, a close look at this "dating experience" that impacts so many singles in so many ways may be useful to you as you think about what your long-term relationship goals are and what you REALLY want from a relationship.
So what exactly do these terms mean?
"Hooking up" is getting together for sex. There is generally no formal "date" involved.
"Friends with benefits" usually refers to two people who are "friends" who also have sex together. Again, there's a distinction between what they share and "dating".
"Booty call" usually describes the act of a man (woman) calling up another person to come over for sex. The sex doesn't follow dinner, a movie or other "quality" time together, getting to really know each other. It's physical.
Do you define this activity (even loosely) as dating? Has this become a new intimacy for some or many of you? If so, it's important to look at how/if it meets your needs and if it aligns with your basic values and relationship wants and goals.
Begin by asking yourself some core questions, such as:
Am I comfortable with intimacy?
Am I comfortable with a purely physical relationship?
Am I able to be physically involved with someone while remaining emotionally detached?
How do I feel about myself when I engage in this behavior?
Am I doing this to please someone or win his or her affection?
Is monogamy and marriage my goal?
If your answers reflect discordance between how you feel and what you do; it would be helpful to understand the reasons behind your behavior. Do any of these sound familiar?
"It requires no commitment on my part"
In addition to these explanations, some singles express a belief that "everyone does it" or "it's expected". Therefore, they often report engaging in it, but not feeling really ok or satisfied afterwards. Others use it as a substitute for real intimacy, referencing their difficulties in meeting and dating in general.
Then there are the people who have sex hoping it will lead to love. This too is a desire for intimacy that can lead to sadness and disappointment and the possibility of contacting a dangerous and life-altering infection. It reminds me of the line in a song, "if I can love you good enough on the outside to make you feel it on the inside, then maybe you will stay..."
If you recognize yourself in any of these statements and want to address your issue, begin with an inventory of your values and self-awareness. Read the articles: "Defining Intimacy", "Clarifying And Living Your Values", and "How's Your Self-Awareness".
You can find these on: http://www.consum-mate.com/articles.htm
If you would find feedback that deals specifically with these issues helpful, take the "What's Your Intimacy IQ" and "Are You Relationship Ready" quizzes. These can be found on: http://www.consum-mate.com/quiz.htm
Once you have determined what you really want from a relationship you can begin to make clear, thought out choices that will open the path that points in the direction you wish to go. Until you do so, you face the possibility of more disappointing and short-lived encounters that leave you feeling more alone and less hopeful about the possibility for lasting happy love.

How to Get More Responses at Online Dating Sites
So, you've decided to join a dating website. You're hoping someone out there will find something interesting about you and try to get to know you better.
Online Dating - Six Ways to Protect Your Privacy in Cyberspace
Online dating is becoming more and more mainstream, as people from all walks of life plug in and find their soul mate in cyberspace. Here are six tips to finding that special someone while still maintaining your privacy and safety online.
Are You Making These Body Language Mistakes With Your Hands?
Unfortunately, what you do with your hands can be one of the quickest non-verbal ways to destroy the attraction that a woman feels for you, because the wrong hand movements can communicate that you are a low-status, beta male.
How To Make Date Conversation
What do you talk about on a date? Is it okay to just listen and nod attentively or are you expected to take an active part in the conversation?
The Best First Date
First dates cause anxiety and thoughts of disastrous and embarrassing moments. We all dread the awkward but necessary first date. It comes with the territory when looking for love. But it isn't necessary to feel this way. You can have the best first date experience with every new person you go out with from now on. Here are a few tips on how you can actually enjoy yourself and possibly make yourself even more attractive on each first date. Don't bring your expectations or baggage with you. The last thing your date wants to hear about are your past relationships, ex's and the problems you had with other people. You not only sound like a whiner who can't let go, but you also make yourself sound critical. If you also list what you think a relationship or person should have been, you are setting the other person up for failure because you are obviously judgmental. Your past is your past and it should stay there. You are with a person who has many aspects of their personality you can spend countless hours exploring. Look at it as an adventure instead of like a job application. Enjoy each new thing you learn about the person even if you know you don't want to see them again. You never know what you will learn or if you have found a new friend. When you leave to meet your date, remind yourself that you are your own person and this is a great opportunity for someone to get to know who you are. You are a person with dreams, ideas and intelligent thoughts that can share so much with the right person. Walk into your date comfortable in your own skin. Maintain your happy composure and keep the conversation light but honest. Don't talk about yourself in any negative terms. If you point out what you consider to be your shortcomings and flaws, they will be seen. They might have only been visible to you before you called attention to them. You will also be obvious in your insecurities and this can make other people feel uncomfortable. This is not a feeling you want someone you are interested in to associate with you. While it is absolutely acceptable to participate in conversation, remember to be just as good a listener. It means so much to people when they feel as if they have someone's undivided attention and they are important enough to have your focus. When making a comment on a topic or answering a question, you are letting them know you find them interesting and worth the time and thought. This courtesy is not always noticed on the surface, but when they think back on the date, they will feel as if you truly cared about who they are and what they have to say. Finally, show them that you have a sense of humor and have fun. Laughter and humor is attractive on its own and can only help ease the tension of a stressful meeting situation. While you might not meet 'the one' on your next first date, you will know you gave it your all and the next one won't be so bad.

Online Dating Tips for the Digital Age of Romance
We are romantic creatures. We are social creatures. With these two elements sharing our genetic code, we have little choice but to seek out someone with whom we can feel free to share our romantic gestures. In the Stone Age, this was accomplished much the same way as any survival technique (i.e., hunting and gathering). In the Industrial Age, the biggest change was that we looked and smelled better during our pursuits. Now, in the Digital Age, we are more efficient with our techniques, electronically speaking, however we have also proven that the human species has not changed a great deal on this fundamental level.

The Best Way to Pick Up a Girl
You see her across the room. Ah, so attractive. But nobody to introduce her to you. 'Ah, I'll do a James Bond on her,' you think. Now what was Bond's first words to Pussy Galore? 'I must be dreaming.' No, that won't work. How about singing 'Underneath the Mango Tree' to her as Bond did to Honey Rider in 'Dr. No'. Ah? No! Well, what's left? You'll just have to go up and talk to her, if it's a situation where you won't see her again. But it's always safe to assume that she has a boyfriend that can squeeze the stuffings out of a gold ball. That aside, take a chance and make polite conversation. What's the worst that can happen. She says, 'I'm sorry, I'm not available.' and you save the time and money of a date with her. Like George Burns says, 'When a beautiful woman says 'no' to me, it's a relief.

Internet Dating ? It?s Not For Geeks
Six months ago an old school friend and I were chatting over coffee, putting the world to rights as women do. She was bemoaning her lack of success in meeting the "right sort" of men. I asked her if she had tried using an internet dating service, and the look of horror that spread across her face gave the instant answer ? of course not! Internet dating, she informed me, was for the sad, desperate, geeky or freaky.
Co-Dependency is an unhealthy reliance on another person for every thought, action, and feeling. It consists of people who seem to be defined by another other person. One person relies so much on another person's opinion -- that the daily functions they once had as an individual are lost. That individual is no longer capable of making his or her own choices.

[development] Open season for references
nevets at mailbag.com
Tue Mar 6 17:55:51 UTC 2007
Let me declare open season for references. As they make it impossible to
use call_user_func_array and other cute tricks are also impossible, they
are a hinderance. I fail to see the benefit for us. Let's get rid of all.
Who wants to join me on the hunt?
References have a place in programming and do help with performance when
with large objects or arrays.
For example node_submit is called with a reference to the node, so it can
directly make changes to the values.
If you removed the reference a copy would be passed in and the hook would
need to return a copy.
So you would go from passing a reference to copying the node twice.
So personally I think the performance aspect is more important that the
ability to do 'cute tricks'.

A previously rumored bout that was originally intended for the DREAM promotion may be coming under the Strikeforce banner after all.
Josh Thomson, the former Strikeforce lightweight champion, was previously rumored to be facing current DREAM lightweight titleholder Shinya Aoki at last year’s year-end extravaganza dubbed “Dynamite!! 2010″. However Aoki ultimately fought in an exhibition bout with K-1 fighter “Jienotsu” Nagashima, losing by knockout in the second-round of their mixed rules match.
Thomson inevitably faced off against perennial top contender Tatsuya Kawajiri that night, losing a dominating decision to “The Crusher”. Now, both Aoki and Thomson could face off in a pivotal 155-pound match-up targeted for Japan.
MiddleEasy.com has included the rumored lightweight fight in their special “Sunday Rumor Mill” edition this past weekend, which could set up a potential rematch for either man with current Strikeforce lightweight titleholder Gilbert Melendez in the foreseeable future, should either man record an impressive victory in their next outing.
Thomson has tangled with “El Nino” twice before. Initially dominating Melendez who turned in an uninspired performance against “The Punk” some years ago. However the Cesar Gracie protege stormed back in December of 2009, dominating the American Kickboxing Academy star in a five-round war that charted several “Fight of the Year” lists.
Aoki is all too familiar with Melendez as well. In his lone appearance under the San Jose based promotion, as well as in the United States, the submission specialist was thwarted at every attempt to bring the fight to the ground against Melendez in their initial meeting in April of last year. Gilbert took home an easy decision win over the Japanese star, dominating every round on the judges score cards.
Both men bounced back from the loss to Melendez with consecutive wins in their respective organization’s before suffering their recent setbacks. So, MMA peeps, what do you think of the potential match-up? How do you see the fight going? Sound off in the comment section below.

Sarepta Therapeutics is promising a rapid response to the FDA’s placing a clinical hold on the company’s Phase I/IIa trial of its Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) gene therapy candidate AAVrh74.MHCK7.micro-Dystrophin—a month after the company trumpeted the study’s first positive results.
Sarepta acknowledged that the trial (NCT03375164) was placed on clinical hold after a “trace” amount of DNA fragment surfaced in research-grade raw material plasmid supplied by an undisclosed third-party manufacturer.
The trace fragment does not result in protein expression and is quickly cleared, according to preliminary in vivo testing cited by the company and performed by the Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, which is partnering with Sarepta on the trial.
As a result, Sarepta said, the Research Institute and the company have developed an action plan that will include the use of GMP-s plasmid for the program, with “immediate plans” to submit it for review by the FDA.
“We understand the source of the issue, have been given clear guidance on how to address it, and have a plan to keep our clinical program on track. We are committed to holding ourselves to high standards of quality while we progress our programs with a sense of exigency,” Sarepta President and CEO Doug Ingram wrote in a letter to DMD advocates posted on the website of Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD).
PPMD has committed $2.2 million to the Phase I/IIa trial, with support from additional Duchenne foundations and families.
On its website, PPMD noted that a series of revised draft guidances for gene therapy released earlier this month by the FDA included the agency’s intent to let gene therapy developers use Phase I/II data as pivotal data.
“We appreciate that Sarepta is taking every opportunity to understand the implications of these guidances and the most expeditious path to approval and access for our community,” PPMD stated. “We are anxious to learn more about their next steps and timeline as these conversations progress.”
No Dosing Delay Anticipated
In a statement yesterday, Sarepta said that subject to FDA acceptance of the action plan, it does not anticipate any material delay in dosing patients as originally planned by the end of this year.
“We intend to rapidly respond to the FDA’s clinical hold letter, including a commitment to the Agency to only use GMP-s plasmid,” Ingram said in the company statement. “Independently, we will also request a meeting with the Agency to discuss the micro-dystrophin program with the goal of commencing a pivotal trial by year-end 2018.”
On June 19, Sarepta reported positive preliminary clinical data from the gene therapy DMD candidate.
Sarepta announced that all three patients in the Phase I/IIa study assessing AAVrh74.MHCK7.micro-Dystrophin in patients with DMD showed robust micro-dystrophin expression in muscle measured by all methods, as well as significant decreases in the levels of serum creatine kinase (CK), an enzyme biomarker strongly associated with muscle damage caused by DMD. The mean reduction of CK was over 87% at day 60.
Sarepta’s favorable results contrasted with those of another DMD therapy developer. A week after Sarepta’s positive preliminary data, Summit Therapeutics halted development of its DMD candidate ezutromid after it failed a Phase II trial—triggering a stock selloff that caused shares to lose 80% of their value.
Sarepta is one of numerous drug developers seeking to bring to market DMD therapies. Last month the FDA lifted its clinical hold on Solid Biosciences’ Phase I/II trial for its lead candidate, the gene therapy SGT-001. The hold on Solid’s IGNITE DMD study (NCT03368742) had been imposed in March after the first patient dosed with SGT-001 was hospitalized.
And in April, Pfizer said it launched a Phase Ib trial (NCT03362502) for its mini-dystrophin gene therapy candidate, PF-06939926, with early data expected in the first half of 2019.

Is Uber seeing its final days in the UK?
London’s transport authority announced Friday that it won’t be renewing the company’s license in the city, deeming it not “fit and proper” to operate in England’s capital, according to CNN.
“All companies in London must play by the rules and adhere to the high standards we expect—particularly when it comes to the safety of customers,” London mayor Sadiq Khan, who “fully supports” the decision, said in a statement. “Providing an innovative service must not be at the expense of customer safety and security.”
Uber has 21 days to appeal the decision, and they say they have every intent to.
“Transport for London and the mayor have caved in to a small number of people who want to restrict consumer choice,” Uber said. “If this decision stands, it will put more than 40,000 licensed drivers out of work and deprive Londoners of a convenient and affordable form of transport.”
But while Uber prepares to fight for license renewal, London’s Black Cab drivers—who have long voiced concerns surrounding Uber passenger safety—are sighing with relief.
Maria Ludkin, legal director at GMB, which represents licensed London taxi drivers, stated:
“This historic decision is a victory for [our] campaign to ensure drivers are given the rights they are entitled to — and that the public, drivers and passengers are kept safe.”
Uber has definitely faced its challenges this year. In June, founder and CEO Travis Kalanick was forced to resign amid reports of spiraling harassment, gender bias and poor management within the company.

The Alfa Romeo 4C concept made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show back in March, and now it is showing off a new eye-candy video of the Alfa Romeo 4C in motion.
As much as we like to believe the Alfa Romeo 4C will be at European showrooms in second quarter of 2012, but Fiat has a reputation of delaying deliveries. For instance, the Alfa Romeo was scheduled for the U.S. launch 10 years ago, and still no signs of it yet.
Anyhow, whatever destiny may lie ahead for the new Alfa Romeo 4C, it is no doubt has an exceptional, clean design to it. The new Alfa Romeo 4C is built on a light carbon fiber chassis. It is powered by a new 1.7-liter turbo engine producing 200 horsepower, and it is mated to a twin clutch automatic transmission. Alfa Romeo claims that it can sprint from 0-62 mph in under 5 seconds and with a top speed of 155 mph.
In addition to video, we got some news that the new Alfa Romeo 4C is set to launch in the U.S. market as well. We are crossing our fingers this time, again. For now, enjoy the video below.

The Ministry of Health (MoH) has renewed its request that parents change their children’s paper vaccination cards to electronic cards.
The Ministry of Health recently started this service to replace paper vaccination certificates with e-vaccinations cards.
The Ministry has encouraged all parents to register their children’s vaccinations online by booking in the vaccinations documentation clinic, visiting a health center, or self-registering through the Sehhaty app, so that they can view and save them at any moment.
Parents who want to register their children’s vaccinations through a health center must first schedule an appointment in the vaccinations documentation clinic, then attend the center with a paper copy of the vaccinations card, and the certificate will appear in the Sehhaty app.
It is worth noting that the MoH has launched the Sehhaty app to provide health services for individuals in Saudi Arabia, as it allows the user to obtain health information and receive a variety of health services from various bodies in the health sector.

Occupy Des Moines protesters expect little protest activity today in an effort to show they’re keeping their promise not to interfere with any actual caucuses.
However, some protesters at the group’s morning planning meeting discussed the possibility of protesting at hotels where candidates are staying or having parties after the caucus.
About a half-dozen protesters marched on Monday night to the Embassy Suite, where they believed Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann to be staying.
Protester Daniel Bragg said the group marched around the hotel beating a drum and chanting “Michele Bachmann come on out, see what Occupy is all about.”
Nobody with the Bachmann campaign or security or law enforcement approached the small group, which returned to the headquarters a short time later, Bragg said.
More discussion on potential evening protests may take place at the group’s 5 p.m. meeting, organizer Stephen Toothman said.
The day’s planned break comes after a week of protests and arrests at presidential campaign offices, the Iowa Democratic Party’s headquarters, a bank and a hotel.
In lieu of an action at a bank or campaign office, protesters will hold a 4 to 5 p.m. vigil on the grounds outside of the Iowa State Capitol, dubbed by protesters “the birthplace of Occupy Des Moines.”
“It’s very symbolic and appropriate now that as part of our celebration of the success of this week’s events that we revist the birthplace of the local movement,” protester Aaron Jorgensen-Briggs said.
Protesters will also hold a straw poll throughout the day to measure the support for concerns and ideas of other occupiers, Toothman said.
“We’re focusing today on having people talk about the issues,” Toothman said. “We’re making space and making a place where people can have their voices heard.”
Ballots listing statements brought forth by individuals on issues including why they choose to occupy are available at the group’s headquarters until 7 p.m.
An instant runoff vote will be used to gauge the popularity of each idea, but also as a demonstration of how the voting method could work in local and state elections, Toothman said.
Participants in an instant runoff vote rank their preferred ideas in order, and the idea or candidate that gains a majority wins the election. The method has support from many in the Des Moines movement, said Clarke Davidson, the organizer of the straw poll.
At 9 p.m., the group plans to hold a press conference at the headquarters to reveal the results of the straw poll and declare the “99 percent” the winner of the group’s Dec. 27 People’s Caucus.

The significance of architecture should not be overlooked. Architecture is an integral element of global progress and is particularly vital for developing countries and those undergoing large-scale transformation. It has evolved throughout history, and continues to spark conversation in the modern world.
Today, architects design with a large range of stakeholders in mind. For example, sustainability is a major factor, as is the mindful utilization of resources. From tall buildings to public squares, and from residential towers to high-traffic streets, many aspects of life and industry are influenced by architecture.
Architecture exists and transitions on a large scale in order to accommodate the growing needs of individuals, communities, and cities. By taking a holistic approach to the design of a space, an architect can bridge the gap between function and form. Architects are involved in a range of responsibilities, from developing structures to overseeing construction.
Architecture also has an emotional and sociological impact on its viewers. An architect plans and considers different aspects of a space to achieve the desired outcome. This plan is not just physical but enhanced by the subtle nuances in form, materiality and the surrounding conditions.
When talking about the importance of architecture, much of the focus is on the economic benefits it brings. The buildings we occupy can have a major impact on the economy, enabling some cities or countries to succeed or fail. Architecture also plays an important role in impacting the quality of life for people living in different areas. Studies have linked the presence of green buildings with increased mental and physical wellbeing, while efficient public transportation systems can result in better air quality and lower rates of vehicle-related accidents.
Architecture brings a unique and captivating vision to communities and cities. It provides a platform to share ideas, promote inclusion, and create new communities or connections. In the way of landmarks or monuments, architecture adds an identity to a community, instilling it with its own culture and heritage. Furthermore, it serves a practical purpose in providing shelters, allowing us to experience and explore the world in new ways. From a spiritual perspective, its intricacies translate into meaningful designs that reflect our relationship with the natural environment.
Architecture has changed the way we observe, interact, and relate to the world. Its progressive designs, combined with its rich history, often shape our outlook on the future. Less obvious areas such as technological advancements, public safety and health initiatives, and community engagement platforms, are all possible through architecture.
Connectivity through Buildings and Structures
Good architecture should be able to foster greater connectivity and provide a platform for free flow of communication. This can be observed through a combination of design components that take into account the physical layout, visibility, and accessibly to different people, with structures that encourage social interaction and leisure activities. This creates an environment that allows for human expression and creativity to grow, engaging with people from diverse backgrounds, offering each person a sense of belonging to a community. Moreover, this modern approach is playing an integral part when considering the importance of maintaining mental wellbeing.
Designs that aim to combat issues like cultural segregation, inter-generational divides, and safety problems are on the rise. For instance, infrastructure that promotes public transportation, walkability, and allows for the integration of public spaces allows for communities to come together and benefit from economies of scale. Now more than ever, architects are being called upon to design with accessibility, inclusion and sustainability in mind.
Architecture has also been used to build bridges between different cultural and national communities. For example, cities around the world have created architecture to celebrate their diverse populations, fueling an inclusive atmosphere for all. By providing a platform for collaboration and interaction, architecture is allowing different cultures to learn from one another and enhance the culture of their cities.
Architecture, Preservation and Sustainability
The preservation of important architecture can help reduce the environmental impact of various projects. For example, when existing structures are preserved and rearranged, instead of having to build from scratch, it can help conserve raw materials and energy. Furthermore, through thoughtful renovations and maintenance, structures can be adapted for new purposes, increasing the longevity and sustainability of a building.
The use of recycled materials, design techniques, and eco-friendly materials can help minimize the environmental impacts of a project. Many architects now employ the combination of these techniques in order to create a more sustainable and ecologically friendly space. Additionally, the incorporation of green technologies such as solar panels, green roofs, and rainwater collection systems are changing modern architecture, making buildings more efficient and cost-effective.
The principles of biophilic design have been key in helping architects understand the importance of nature when designing and constructing buildings. Through the use of natural materials and earthy tones, biophilic design is able to connect the interior and exterior of buildings, providing a better understanding of nature and its place in the built environment.
In addition, architects can also promote the preservation of natural wildlife, vegetation, and habitats by incorporating nature-friendly materials into the design, without compromising the quality. This allows eco-system to exist in harmony within the urban landscape, while minimizing the long-term effects of development.
Architecture, Innovation and Progress
Architecture and innovation go hand in hand. Architects continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with modern design, incorporating new technologies, architecture and materials. Every structure, from small scale residential houses to large scale projects, will benefit from the use of modern materials and cutting-edge technologies.
Further, as technology advances, so will architecture, and creative solutions will emerge. For example, 3D printing, virtual reality applications, and the use of artificial intelligence can be interfaced with architecture to create distinctive designs. By utilizing these new tools, architects are able to create more efficient and cost-effective results. As sustainable resources become more available, architects will also be able to build smarter buildings that use less energy.
Finally, architecture has been used to create inspiring spaces that stimulate learning and creativity. By incorporating digital networks and interactive technologies, many buildings are now being used as incubators of innovation, allowing people to collaborate and explore new ideas. These hubs are empowering individuals, creating a sense of identity, ownership, and understanding the future of architecture.
Digital Architecture and Networking
The internet has allowed architects to connect with colleagues and clients in a much more efficient way. New digital tools such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) are transforming the way architectural designs are created, communicated, and presented. By integrating technology into architecture, many buildings have become interactive and engaging, further expanding the realm of possibilities for designers.
3D printing technology is also being utilized to create intricate and detailed structures that were once thought impossible to build. The flexibility and speed of this technology makes it easier for architects to present ideas in visual form, which often enables stakeholders to bring their projects to life.
The use of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies has also offered a unique way to experience architecture before it is built. These technologies are giving architects the ability to showcase their designs in a much more engaging way than ever before. With the advent of these technologies, architects are now able to easily visualize different components of a structure and make changes or modifications before construction begins.
Architectural models and simulations can be used to test the behavior of a building in different conditions, providing insights on how it will perform in the future. This helps architects to understand the implications of their design decisions and respond to changes in the environment or climate.
In conclusion, architecture matters as it is an essential element of progress and development. It not only influences our economic wellbeing, but also shapes our perspectives and understanding of the world. Architects are continually finding new ways to combine form and function, technology and sustainability, making our lives more convenient, rewarding, and ultimately, more meaningful.

WASHINGTON – John Kerry's (search) capture of the Democratic presidential nomination is the realization of a dream that nearly slipped away.
The Massachusetts senator entered the race as an insider favorite, a celebrated combat veteran seeking to the lead the country in a time of war, only to see his stock plummet as Howard Dean's Internet-fueled campaign gained strength.
But Kerry doggedly climbed back to the top with a surprise victory in Iowa that gave him powerful momentum to take the New Hampshire primary and nearly every state that followed. On Tuesday he locked up the nomination by winning nine of 10 state contests, from New York to California, and driving his last major Democratic opponent, John Edwards (search), out of the race.
Kerry's advisers said the candidate only grew more determined earlier this year when so many people were betting against him. When Dean was on the cover of Time and Newsweek and was sweeping up endorsements from powerful Democratic unions and former Democratic nominee Al Gore, Kerry increased his resolve.
"He said, `If I'm going to be the only one to believe in me, I've just got to go out and win on my own and prove it,'" said David Wade, the press secretary who has traveled with Kerry during the campaign.
With a reputation for aloofness and a top-heavy campaign staff riven with differences over strategy, Kerry also had to defend his Senate vote in favor of the war in Iraq at a time when it appeared party activists preferred a critic of the conflict.
As early polls showed Dean rising at Kerry's expense, the Massachusetts senator made tough adjustments to his campaign.
"He knew that he was way, way down," Wade said. "He was realistic."
He fired Jim Jordan, the manager who had assembled his top-notch campaign team, and brought in Mary Beth Cahill, a former chief of staff to Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy. Together, they shifted Kerry's focus to Iowa, seeing it as his best hope to bring his campaign back to life.
Kerry made a point of staying late after his town hall meetings in Iowa, vowing to answer every voter's question while his staff made a show of trying to cut him off. He would say that he wouldn't leave the room until he persuaded everyone in it to caucus for him.
With Iowa front-runners Dean and Dick Gephardt targeting each other, Kerry rose to become the surprise victor of the first state and 26 of the next 29 as well as Democratic voters said their top priority was a candidate who could defeat a wartime president. One by one, all of Kerry's other major rivals dropped out in the face of his domination.
As his path to the nomination became clear Tuesday night, he took a call from the man who will be his rival for the next eight months, President Bush.
In an interview, the senator said he told the president, "I hope we can have a great debate about the future of our country and the direction our nation needs to go and the choices that are critical to the people."
Immediately ahead lies the challenge of pivoting from a primary campaign to the general election. That involves issues as diverse as raising money quickly to try to neutralize Bush's advantage, to selecting a running mate.
Kerry marked his victory by ordering aides to set up a process for reviewing potential vice presidential candidates, according to senior advisers. They said it was possible Kerry would choose a running mate well before the Democratic nominating convention in July.
An early selection would generate excitement among Democrats in the months ahead, perhaps giving Kerry media attention at a time Bush is likely to be outspending him heavily on television advertising.
"Before us ... lie long months of effort and of challenge," Kerry told supporters Tuesday night. "And we understand that we have no illusion about the Republican attack machine and what our opponents have done in the past and what they may try to do in the future."
Kerry long has tried to avoid comparisons with Michael Dukakis (search), the former Massachusetts governor whom many Democrats faulted for not fighting harder when attacked in the 1988 presidential campaign.
"I am a fighter and for more than 30 years I've been on the battle lines, on the front lines of the struggle for fairness and for mainstream American values," he said.
Kerry said he would campaign to repeal Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy, raise the minimum wage, protect the environment and make health care more widely available.
In an oft-repeated challenge to the president, he said if the commander in chief wants to make the election a referendum on national security, "Bring it on."


Let keep our eyes on the issues people. While the majority of bloggers including me were busy talking about McCain’s HouseGate, there was important news on the Iraq war front.
The United States has agreed to remove combat troops from Iraqi cities by next June and from the rest of the country by the end of 2011 if conditions in Iraq remain relatively stable, according to Iraqi and American officials involved in negotiating a security accord governing American forces there.
The withdrawal timetables, which Bush administration officials called “aspirational goals” rather than fixed dates, are contained in the draft of an agreement that still must be approved by Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki and other Iraqi leaders before it goes before Iraq’s fractious Parliament. It has the support of the Bush administration, American and Iraqi officials said.
American officials stressed repeatedly that meeting the timetables depended on the security situation in Iraq, where sectarian killings and attacks on American troops have declined sharply over the past year from the peak levels in 2006 and 2007. Iraqi officials, who have pushed for an even tighter target date for the United States to end its military operations, could also end up rejecting the draft agreement.
The White House has definitely adopted Obama’s strategy to withdrawal troops. This is great if the Iraqis agree. McCain still doesn’t want to agree with a timetable. Here is Obama’s response to this deal,
“I am glad that the Administration has finally shifted to accepting a timetable for the removal of our combat troops from Iraq. Success in Iraq depends on an Iraqi government that is reconciling its differences and taking responsibility for its future, and a timetable is the best way to press the Iraqis to do just that. I welcome the growing convergence around this pragmatic and responsible position.
“This agreement is still draft and vital pieces of it must be finalized, so I will reserve final judgment on the agreement until it is complete. The agreement needs to be carefully reviewed, and must include immunity for U.S. troops and Defense Department personnel from Iraqi jurisdiction. I continue to believe that in consultation with our commanders and the Iraqi government, we can safely redeploy at a pace that removes our combat brigades in 16 months, with a residual force to target remnants of al Qaeda; to protect our service members and diplomats; and to train Iraq’s Security Forces if the Iraqis make political progress.
“Senator McCain has stubbornly focused on maintaining an indefinite U.S presence in Iraq, but events have made his bluster and record increasingly out of touch with reality. While Senator McCain continues to offer unconditional military and economic support for Iraq, I strongly believe that we need to use our leverage with the Iraqi government to ensure a political settlement. In addition to a timetable, we should only train Iraqi Security Forces if Iraq’s leaders reconcile their differences, and we must insist that Iraq invests its $79 billion surplus on rebuilding its own country. It’s time to succeed in Iraq and to honor the sacrifice of our servicemen and women by leaving Iraq to a sovereign Iraqi government.
“Ending the war in Iraq responsibly is in the broader strategic interests of the United States. It’s long past time to drawdown our troop presence and to stop spending $10 billion a month in Iraq so that we can increase resources for the mission in Afghanistan, rebuild our military, and invest in our struggling economy at home,” said Senator Obama.
Based on polls the Iraq war isn’t even the second most important issue to voters anymore. This may benefit either McCain or Obama. McCain we know is going to say this proves the surge worked. Obama is going to say that the White House is adopting his plans for withdrawal.
I think this works in Obama’s favor. This leaves Mccain as the war mongerer, who still wants us to be in Iraq. Plus no objective thinking person can say that the surge is why we are able to withdrawal when there are so many other reasons. I think the logic of McCain is pretty screwed up. He says we should stay in Iraq for 100years, as long as no one is shooting at the troops. This doesn’t make sense, because if we use McCain’s logic then we would be in Iraq forever, because there is no way that Al Queda or terrorist organizations are not going to try to attack US forces. So McCain’s position to keep a huge amount of strike forces in Iraq is really serious if he become president. I really think Obama is going to win on this issue, it shows that his policies are good enough that the White House would adopt them. Also this shows Obama’s judgement. He said it was a mistake to go into Iraq and that we should put focus on Afghanistan, he was right and Bush administration, maybe too late but nonetheless are finally adopting this strategy. Now that we are stuck in Iraq Obama’s plan for troop withdrawal is being adopted by this administration. So this just proves his ability and judgement to deal with situations before they happen and after they happen. I say its a win for Obama and a win for America, and Im happy the Bush administration went with this direction.

Back when Plato was philosophizing about virtue and Archimedes was defining pi, the most beautiful corner of the sprawling Greek Empire was Syracuse.
That is Syracuse of Sicily, not upstate New York. How a city in a North American icebox could be named after a beautiful, sun-splashed town on the Ionian Sea would have baffled Plato himself.
He lived here. So did Archimedes. It’s nearly 2,500 years later, and Syracuse (Siracusa in Italian) remains one of the jewels of Italy.
Syracuse, Sicily’s No. 1 tourist destination, has attracted historians and beachcombers for centuries. I couldn’t think of a better place to spend a...


In December, the GOV.UK Accessibility Team published a blog post on how they improved accessibility on GOV.UK in preparation for the accessibility regulations deadline.
Data specialists in GOV.UK helped this work by creating an accessibility reporting tool to identify the accessibility issues among the half a million pages published on GOV.UK. Then, we contributed to finding fixes to some of the problems using data processing techniques.
Here’s how our work helped make GOV.UK more accessible.
Creating our accessibility reporting tool
We created a tool that could analyse GOV.UK’s content to look for specific accessibility content issues. We wrote it in Python, as it’s a GDS-supported programming language, and structured the code in a way that allowed us to write and “plug in” different report generators.
This meant our tool could look at the half a million pages on GOV.UK and filter them based on a checklist of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) fails. We identified which fails to look for from a manual review of more than 60 representative pages (pages that are reflective of most of the site) of GOV.UK that the Accessibility Team did.
We created 8 different reports that identified pages which had:
- non-semantic headers - when text was incorrectly formatted as a header through bold font and mimicking the style of a heading, instead of being marked as a header in the code for machines such as screen readers to identify
- badly ordered headers - when the hierarchical structure of the page was broken with huge gaps between the ordering of headings; for example, a heading 1 followed by a heading 5
- duplicate titles - when a page title was the same as another, which indicated it was not unique and did not appropriately describe the purpose of the page
- non-compliant links - when there were multiple instances of the same piece of text that linked to different URLs; for example, link text for ‘starting a business’ in the first paragraph linked to ‘applying for a start-up loan’, whereas in the second paragraph ‘starting a business’ linked to ‘set up a business’
- non-English text that was labelled English
- non-English attachments that were labelled English
- non-HTML attachments
- badly structured tables - tables should always have column headers and sometimes row headers to explain the content, allowing for people who use screen readers to understand the table's structure
For the last report on table structures, we did some additional processing on this. Since 2019, we’ve set up Govspeak (our version of Markdown - the process of formatting content in Whitehall publisher) which allows this structure to be followed. However, pre-2019, there were tables that had already been added to pages and not correctly marked up. The analyser we built uses CSS selectors to find tables with (or without) specific HTML structures. As it uses CSS selectors, these queries could be re-used elsewhere to perform the same extraction.
For all the reports, we quality assured these outputs by manually checking they contained some of the 60 representative pages that were manually identified to not comply with WCAG.
Speeding up the report generation
Once we developed and tested report generation, we realised we wanted to speed up reporting to allow more time to contribute to fixing any problems.
We used multi-processing techniques to do this. Each process took a chunk of pages and analysed them. If the process found a page to have accessibility problems for a particular report, the page details and accessibility fail reason were added to a queue. Another process read data from the queue and generated a .csv file representing all of the identified inaccessible pages, which would be repeated for each accessibility report being run.
The tool and the multi-processing techniques saved us from doing a complicated and time-consuming manual process.
These reports were sorted by government department and the Accessibility Team could speak with the relevant content editors about the accessibility issues.
How we used programming to help fix things
Once we’d found the issues, we wanted to keep helping the Accessibility Team in their work in fixing the issues. We used programming to improve language detection, which saved the team time.
Mislabelled language pages
As written above, it is a WCAG fail to have a page labelled as being written in one language, when it is actually in a different language. This is because a screen reader trying to read English-labelled content would struggle to read Welsh words, for example.
We first tried to address this by using our code to send snippets of content to the Google Translate API, which we used to identify the language of content. This approach quickly became infeasible because of the large amount of content that needed its language identified and our limited time.
So, we changed tack. Instead, we used the langdetect Python package, as it identified language without making API calls. This significantly increased the speed with which we could identify the language; what would have taken 3 days now took 3 hours. Our colleagues could then spend more time resolving these language labelling issues.
Building on our work
We want to reuse and build on the work we’ve done to see where it can be used elsewhere. For example, the work on mislabelled language pages has been picked up by the Platform Health Team GOV.UK team who are looking to fix non-English pages that have English content.
We’ll continue to explore how this information about our content, or metadata, could potentially be stored and tracked so future WCAG fails could be proactively identified.


MOVE IT! Film Festival for Human Rights
MOVE IT! is a small film festival located in Dresden, Germany. It is focused on human rights themes with a special emphasis on women's and children's rights, due to the thematic focus of it’s organising NGO, Akifra e.V. Founded in 2004, MOVE IT! Film Festival takes place in the second week of November in different locations in Dresden. Since 2015 one of the selected films gets honoured with the MOVE IT! Film Prize for Human Rights and Development, in 2019 endowed with 5000.- Euro. The festivals aim is to support and empower a discourse on human rights within our society by screening a variation of international films - mainly documentaries - which are not older than two years and have never been shown in Dresden before. Furthermore, all movies that are progrmmed focus on a specific annual theme of human rights matters (exp. annual theme 2017: “hidden conflicts – secret wars”; 2018 “alternative choices”, 2019 “under pressure”) and the majority of screenings are accompanied by film talks and moderated discussions with film makers, activist or experts.
MOVE IT! Film Festival understands itself as a platform for exchange, discussion and human relations in its best sense. Watch out – MOVE IT!

ROCHELLE PARK, N.J. (AP) — Prosecutors say a northern New Jersey man was driving drunk when his sport utility vehicle crashed into a utility pole and overturned, injuring himself and two passengers.
Edward Davis was charged with two counts of assault by auto shortly after the crash occurred around 2:30 a.m. Saturday on Route 17 north in Rochelle Park. Bail was set at $35,000 for the 33-year-old Mahwah resident, who was hospitalized with undisclosed injuries.
Clint Callahan, a 25-year-old Ramsey resident who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was ejected from the SUV and suffered serious internal injuries. He underwent surgery and was hospitalized in serious condition late Saturday afternoon.
Callahan’s 23-year-old brother, James, suffered facial injuries that are not considered life-threatening. The Ramsey resident was sitting in a rear seat.

How To Perform Child Cpr
Learn how to perform child cpr. What to do if your child's heart stops beating or they have stopped breathing.
CPR can save your child's life if his heart has stopped beating or if he isn't breathing for any reason. Some of these reasons can include an accident, drowning, poisoning, suffocation, smoke inhalation or choking.
The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommends that all parents complete a course in basic CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Do not depend on this reference article alone. Contact the American Red Cross to find out about courses in your area. 1800-422-7677
IF YOUR CHILD HAS STOPPED BREATHING
1. Get emergency medical help. Perform the following rescue procedures while waiting for help to arrive.
2. Position your child on his back on a flat surface.
3. Open the airway by gently tilting the head back so that his nose is in the air and his mouth is open. Look, listen and feel for respiratory movement. Look into throat to see whether it is blocked by a foreign object or a piece of food.
4. Take a deep breath. If your child is an infant, place your mouth over his nose and mouth, making as tight a seal as possible. If your child is older, pinch his nostrils and place your mouth over his.
5. Give two rescue breaths, blowing enough air into their lungs so you can see the child's chest rise slightly. Pause, removing your mouth from his, and take another deep breath. If no air seems to be getting into the chest, the airway is still blocked.
6. If your child's chest does rise as you breathe, continue to breath for him at a rate of approximately one breath every three seconds (20 per minute), until he is breathing on his own.
IF YOUR CHILD HAS NO PULSE
Check your child's pulse after the two rescue breaths. If you can't feel a pulse, begin CPR. With an infant, place two fingers on the breastbone, one finger width below the nipple line. Gently press down 1/2 to 1 inch, at a rate of at least 100 times per minute. With an older child, place the heel of one of your hands over the lower third of the breastbone. Press down 1 to 1 1/2 inches at a rate of 80 to 100 times per minute. After 5 compressions, give the child one breath. Continue 5 compressions to one breath. After 20 cycles or 20 rescue breaths (about 1 minute), if there is no pulse, seek emergency help. Continue cycles until help arrives.

The joy of finding you have a slot in the schedule to fit in the most perfect class if you love baking the Italian way. This is a brand new class and it was after scrolling through Ursula’s instagram feed that we came up the idea. So many wonderful recipes that you maybe you haven’t come across before.
We want everyone to feel confident when baking so we will introduce you to the basics of bread making with traditional flours but also with spelt. You will take home your own biga too to continue your bread making journey. We will be making the following recipes and learning more about the region they come from and what inspires their creation – from the Dominites to Puglia and inbetween!
- Roman Spelt flour grissini – perfect little snacks that we wrap with rosemary – great gift ideas too!
- Focaccine – a relation of focaccia but much thinner, lighter, crisper and crunchy – fill it with fillings such as goats cheese and grilled vegetables or even bresaola, mascarpone and rocket
- Artichoke torta or savory tart made with yeasted (enriched) dough filled with artichokes, mint and caciocavallo cheese served in pasticceria’s all over Puglia!
- Brioche blackberry and apple nut tart with almond praline and served with honey yoghurt – change for seasonality – the photo is of British cherries but you can use plums or even grapes – it is utterly divine. Brioche need to prove overnight so Ursula will make up a batch and bring that for you to make the tart the same day, enabling you to take home your own batch of brioche to use the next morning – including a recipe we will give you for pizza dolce – brioche base with apricots and grapes with a lemon and ricotta filling.
We will provide you with a light working lunch so make sure you have a good hearty breakfast before this class!!! We can’t wait!! As always lots of tips and plenty of time to ask the Queen of Italian baking as many questions as possible.

Millennials are delaying finding partners until much later than their parents. According to US data, six in 10 young adults live without a spouse or romantic partner.
Is work responsible for millennials’ delayed partnerships? The answer is yes. And no. And also, it’s complicated.
Millennials, marriage, and work
The job market has played a hand in this trend, particularly by reducing millennial’s earning power.
Millennials earn less today than young people of past generations, and they regularly cite a lack of financial stability as a major reason for not marrying.
The roots of the problem are widespread. To name a few: many millennials entered the job market when the GFC hit; economic inequality has grown; student loans account for a majority of millennial debt; and they must compete with a pre-established and educated labour force that is staying in the job market longer, lowering job availability while increasing entry-level requirements.
Nor is it a lack of thrift or acute budgeting. In the US millennials are buying fewer assets — cars, homes, and even groceries — than previous generations as a matter of economic necessity.
Romantic partners: the new financial asset?
The result of this financial instability? Marriage and other forms of partnership are becoming privileges for the better-off. Millennials say they want to marry or have romantic partners someday. Those who can afford it ultimately do. Those who can’t don’t.
Work and finances are important considerations, but they aren’t the only ones steering millennials to delay their partner searches. The big reason regularly cited by millennials is that they haven’t yet found the right person. Another is that they aren’t ready to settle down.
Work may impact these reasons, too. Despite common stereotypes, millennials are workaholics. They are much more likely than baby boomers or Gen Xers to agree with statements like “I want to show complete dedication to my company and job” and “I feel guilty for using my paid time off.” It’s difficult to meet people when your job is always on.
Cultural shifts play their part, too. Millennials both incite and abstain from hook-up culture more than previous generations. While many may want to marry someday, they view it as less of a priority. And more millennials take the time to develop a strong sense of adult identity outside of marriage.
Good things come to those who wait
The millennials’ wait-and-see approach may pay off for them in the end. Dr. Philip Cohen, a sociology professor at the University of Maryland, analysed America’s divorce rates. He found it had declined by 18 percent in 2017 because millennials were less likely to divorce than baby boomers. He surmised this was because they waited longer, had more education, and were less likely to have children before tying the knot.
Millennials may be delaying finding partners due to work and other cultural considerations, but when they finally find one, it seems they are more likely to find a love that lasts.
