Di Resta to race for Force India in 2011 26 Jan 2011
Reigning DTM champion Paul di Resta will partner Adrian Sutil at Force India in 2011, it was confirmed at a press conference in Scotland on Wednesday. Di Resta, who was the teams third driver during 2010, will take to the grid for the first time at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
Naturally I am thrilled to be making my race debut this season, the Scottish driver said during the Glasgow media event. Becoming an F1 driver has been a long-held ambition of mine, something I've wanted to do since I first stepped into a kart, and to finally realise it feels amazing.
"I've worked really hard for this opportunity throughout my career and to get it with Force India, a young team that's got ambitions as big as mine, is genuinely exciting. I can't wait to be on the grid in Bahrain, it can't come soon enough.
The 24 year-old learnt his race craft in karting, Formula Renault, the Formula Three Euroseries, and DTM, before finally enjoying title-winning success in the ultra-competitive German touring car series in 2010. As Force Indias reserve driver, he took part in eight Friday practice sessions last season and racked up more laps during the winter tests in Abu Dhabi late last year.
Di Restas team mate for 2011, Adrian Sutil, enjoyed his most successful Formula One season last year, securing 47 points to help Force India to seventh position in the constructors' championship. Sutil clinched nine points-scoring positions, including fifth at the Malaysian Grand Prix. The forthcoming season will be his fifth with the Silverstone-based team.
I made my F1 debut with the team back in 2007 and we've worked together since then, so to stay for another year here feels very right, said the 27 year-old German. I've always said that I feel good in this team, it feels like family and when you feel good, you are confident and can push to your maximum.
"We've made some good progress together over the past four years and I'm excited to be part of the team when it takes the next step, which is hopefully to become a front running team. We have the same ambitions so it makes a lot of sense to achieve them together.
Force India team principal Dr Vijay Mallya was just as excited about the year ahead, saying: I am genuinely excited by the drivers we will be fielding in 2011. I believe that the combination of talent we've assembled gives us one of the strongest line-ups on the grid: Adrian has matured into one of F1's most consistent and highly-rated young drivers, while Paul is, I believe, a real star of the future. He has won in every category in his career and this base speed was in evidence when he got in the car on Fridays last year.
Force India also confirmed that 2010 Williams driver Nico Hulkenberg will step into Di Resta's shoes as their third driver. Hulkenberg enjoyed a successful debut year, scoring pole position at the 2010 Brazilian Grand Prix, but was replaced by Pastor Maldonado for 2011.
I am happy I can stay in F1 in 2011, said the young German. I am looking forward to working with Force India and I am sure the team will continue improving in the future. I appreciate the team trusting me by signing a long-term contract. I will do my very best to live up to expectations.
The changes at Force India mean 2010 racer Vitantonio Liuzzi is left without a confirmed drive for the new season, with just one seat - at HRT - still to be filled.

NEW DELHI: With Rs 6,000-odd crore promised to the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) through the cess and budgetary allocation, the ministry of human resources development is quiet certain to meet its annual targets this year. This sum is the highest ever received by the programme and comes closest to its minimum requirement. Though the department has actually cleared plans with a total outlay of Rs 14,000 crore (the centre's share would be Rs 10,500 crore as per the 75:25 sharing arrangement with the states)
February 4, 2004 |
Finance minister Jaswant Singh on Tuesday turned his attention to elementary education. The Interim Budget makes a total plan allocation of Rs 6,000 crore in '04-05 for elementary education, from about Rs 4,900 last year. Significantly, an allocation of Rs 3,057 crore has been made for the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), the government's universal elementary education programme. This is a 56.7% increase over last year's allocation of Rs 1,951 crore. SSA focuses on providing quality elementary education to children in the age group of 6-14 years.
April 21, 2004 |
WASHINGTON: The World Bank has announced a 500-million dollar credit to be pooled with funds provided by the government of India, the Indian states, the European Commission and the United Kingdom, to support India's national programme for universal elementary education. The total project is billed at a cost of 3.5 billion dollars for three-and-a-half years. The democracy's elementary education project, known as Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), essentially aims to reduce the number of children who are out of school by around nine million, narrow gender and social gaps and improve the quality of education.
February 11, 2006 |
NEW DELHI: Satisfied with the fund utlisation of the elementary education programmes, the government has decided to increase fund allocation. It is likely to increase allocation by Rs 5,000 crore over the budget estimates for '05-06, that would make it almost a 50% increase. This would take budget allocation for elementary education in 2006-07 to little over Rs 16,000 crore from Rs 11,217 crore in the current fiscal. The bulk of increase is in the outlay for Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, from Rs 7,156 crore in 2005-06 to Rs 11,000 crore in 2006-07.

NEW DELHI: If HRD minister Arjun Singh thought that finance minister P Chidambaram and deputy chairman planning commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia would provide a clear picture on how much money his ministry would receive, then he was disappointed. The two meeting only reiterated the UPA government's stated priorities in the education sector ? sarva shiksha abhiyan and mid day meal scheme in that order. If nothing else, one clear fact emerged from the meeting that at least this year, it is unlikely that spending on education is going to much more than the current rate of 4% of the GDP. The national common minimum programme had stated that expenditure on education would be increased in a phased manner to 6% of the GDP. That seems unlikely.
February 29, 2008 |
NEW DELHI: With 11th Five Year plan giving special focus on education, government on Friday earmarked a whopping over Rs 38,702 crore to the sector in the Union Budget 2008-09, showing a massive increase of over Rs 9,000 crore. A sum of Rs 27,850 crore has been provided for school education as compared to last year's revised estimate of Rs 23,191.35 crore. Of this, elementary education has been given Rs 19,777.50 crore this year as against Rs 18,439.61 crore the previous year.

ITANAGAR: The BJP in Arunachal Pradesh has demanded a CBI probe into the alleged corruption and misuse of fund sanctioned for construction of Halaipani hydro power project in remote Anjaw district of the state. The party in a memorandum to Anjaw deputy commissioner yesterday alleged that the expenditure of the hydel project , which began with an initial sanction of Rs 57 crore in 1998, has gone up to Rs 157 crore till 2013, party sources said here today. "Despite investment of such huge amount, the project is yet to see the light of the day even after more than a decade," the party said.
January 4, 2006 |
NEW DELHI: The government has initiated efforts to get the proposed law on right to education off the ground quickly. The minister for human resource development Arjun Singh will meet finance minister P Chidambaram, Planning Commission deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia and C Rangarajan, economic advisor to the Prime Minister, on Wednesday to discuss the Right of Education Bill. The Bill had been referred to this group to consider it in the broader context of the National Common Minimum Programme, its legal and constitutional framework and its financial implications.
April 5, 2010 |
NEW DELHI: Barely five days after it was notified, the Right to Education is facing a huge challenge ? that of providing adequate funds to implement the Act. Already four states ? West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab ? have informed the Centre that the state exchequer is unable to undertake this expenditure. But if the states were banking on the Centre to provide for a larger share of funds, then they are in for a surprise. The Centre's outlay for the current year is about Rs 7,000 crore less than its share of the cost of implementing the Act. In the first year of the Right to Education (RTE)
September 13, 2004 |
NEW DELHI: The government's flagship programme for universalisation of elementary education in time-bound manner ? Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) ? could run into financial constraints rapidly if efforts are not made to address the states' fiscal situation, the approach paper to the mid-term appraisal of the 10th plan has said. The paper has also highlighted that 100% enrolment may not be achieved by '05, owning to the slow pace of roll out of the programme. And more importantly, it fears that the programme could get disrupted by challenges in court, given that elementary education has been declared a fundamental right.

Professor continues teaching despite gradual loss of sight
DURANGO (AP) - Larry Gasser, professor of English at Fort Lewis College, no longer can read the literary classics he assigns his students.
So he listens to them instead, and he is forging ahead with his academic life despite steadily deteriorating eyesight.
"Losing your eyesight is the same as having a friend die," Gasser said. "There's grief, frustration and a lot of unanswered questions."
Gasser, who turns 50 on April 2, was declared legally blind in 1988 after suffering a long bout of arthritis and a recurring inflammatory intestinal disorder that recently has been linked to blindness.
He underwent cataract surgery in an attempt to salvage what was left of his deteriorating eyesight. The operation slightly improved side vision in his left eye, but all forward vision on the right was lost.
Gasser says he recalls the emotional fury he felt. It crashed down on him the day he flunked his driver's license renewal exam.
"It was a very traumatic mo ment for he," he said. "At that point, I realized I could no longer ignore the fact that I was going blind."
During his sabbatical in the summer of 1988, Gasser acquired a modified computer system that enlarges images on a video display screen.
But as his eyes worsened, he was forced to hire a permanent reader to transfer students' written work to audio equipment.
These days, Gasser's closest working companion has become a four-track tape player.
Notes, office memos and essays turned in by students are recorded on tapes by his reader. Gasser reviews tapes daily on his specially designed tape player.
He recently acquired a scanner system and voice terminal for his modified computer. It enables him to scan typed papers in very large type and listen to the student's work at the same time.
He said one of his largest obstacles to overcome was becoming accustomed to auditory rather than visual perception.
"It's been a difficult changeover and by all means it's not com plete," he said. "Blindness not only affects your philosophy of life, but the way you process information."
Adaptation from text to voice has been mentally strenuous and time consuming, he said.
Losing his sight also has changed his perception of literature, he said.
"There's a unique quality to listening to novels. It can be quite soothing at times."
At the same time, he said a certain amount of literary challenge has been lost because he can no longer scrutinize written texts.
He also has had to adjust his time and organization to rehabilitation.
"I've had to train myself in assertiveness more now than ever," he said.
And he does far more than teach literature on campus.
Gasser is president of the board of directors for the Southwest Center for Independence and serves as faculty sponsor for the Disabled Student Union.
He is working on a master's degree in counseling and for the past three years has been writing a biographical novel.

Okay, we decided to replant some of our plants that we have been growing the other day. One of my New Year resolutions was "not to kill my plants." Well, two days after replanting my two papaya plants...yup, they shriveled up and died. I'm sure that the fact that I basically ripped them up by the roots out of their original pot didn't help any...I didn't know I was that strong...CRAP!
As I didn't include exercising in my resolutions, this next piece of news isn't a broken resolution, just a little bit of a disappointment. My twenty four hour race was this weekend and I didn't run it. I was looking forward to it and thought that if I was in shape that I could challenge 100 kilometers. The week prior to the race I decided not to further injure a tweaked knee, hip and killer spring allergies. On top of my pain and plugged up sinuses, I am just plain out of shape and find it difficult to motivate myself to get out after a long day at school. Excuses, excuses, I know, but 24 hours on bum limbs wouldn't have been a good idea.
On a positive note, my afghan is still on schedule...It's gonna be a total patchwork piece, but it's my first and it's just something for me to relax to while watching tv with Pae after school and swatting mosquitoes.

Audre Lorde’s Sister Outsider has sat on my shelf unread for decades. Thankfully, I picked it up last night and found these much-needed words for these times:
“We can learn to work and speak when we are afraid in the same way we have learned to work and speak when we are tired. For we have been socialized to respect fear more than our own needs for language and definition, and while we wait in silence for that final luxury of fearlessness, the weight of that silence will choke us.
The fact that we are here and that I speak these words is an attempt to break that silence and bridge some of those differences between us, for it is not difference which immobilizes us, but silence. And there are so many silences to be broken.
Come on out to LitFest Pasadena at the Pasadena Playhouse on Sat., May 19 at 5:30 PM. I’ll be talking about my experience as an Arab American feminist writer from LA. Join in the thought-provoking discussion and give me a hug. Much-needed medicine in these times.

If you are planning on hiring a basement contractor for your basement renovation project, you need to obtain a WSIB Clearance Certificate from them. Many homeowners are unaware of WSIB and what it stands for, but there are many advantages to working with a WSIB-covered contractor.
What Is WSIB?
The Workplace Safety Insurance Board (WSIB) is the agency that provides insurance coverage for workers. In the case of an injury on the job, WSIB provides wage loss benefits, medical coverage and other resources to help the injured worker.
The Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997 mandates that anyone hiring a contractor for construction work is responsible for ensuring that the contractor is registered with WSIB and has paid the necessary premiums. By producing a WSIB Clearance Certificate, your contractor proves they are in good standing with the WSIB. They also guarantee they are eligible to receive WSIB benefits in case of an injury.
Why Is WSIB Important for Homeowners?
With any renovation job, there is a chance of the homeowner holding injury liability. This means that if a worker onsite is involved in an accident, the homeowner is responsible for their injury fees. This is exactly what a WSIB coverage prevents!
If you do not obtain a WSIB Clearance Certificate from your contractor, you may be held liable for their injury.
A contractor’s WSIB insurance coverage guarantees you no-fault workplace insurance. As a result, you, as a homeowner, are protected against costly court settlements and receive support when you need it.
The appeal of WSIB coverage to homeowners is that it’s free and offers peace of mind because you know the contractor you hired to finish your basement is qualified to do the job.
How Do You Know a WSIB Clearance Certificate Is Valid?
The clearance number on the WSIB Clearance Certificate is what tells you whether the contractor is covered by WSIB. You can tell whether the clearance number is valid by checking the status of that number on the WSIB website. By simply entering the number on the WSIB Clearance Certificate, the system will inform you whether the number you entered is valid or not.
Remember, it is your responsibility to ensure your basement contractor has WSIB coverage at the beginning of your renovation project and for the duration of the work. Make you sure you do your homework and research contractors in your area before you sign any papers.

This piece first appeared here and is reprinted with permission.
The wild ride of this year’s presidential election has left many looking for landmarks that will guide their choice for the next president. One place to figure out who stands for what lies in the 2016 Republican and Democratic Platforms. So I decided to explore how each party deals with children.
It would not have been irrational to assume that this would be the year when the epidemic of child sex abuse might find its way onto a platform. After all, Spotlight won the Oscar Award for Best Picture. Institutions in every category that have recklessly dealt with the sexual abuse of children continue to fall over themselves as they choose between defensive silence, self-serving denials, and lame mea culpas. Indeed, there have been so many institutions outed, it is impossible to name them all here. Suffice it to say that tony prep schools, universities, sports, and religious organizations have had some problems. Pitched battles between fragile adult survivors of abuse and the Catholic bishops over statutes of limitations for child sex abuse and rape have dominated politics and headlines.
And talk about a demographic: 20-25 percent of the American public is sexually abused as children. That is an “interest” that might well persuade a voter to cross party lines, depending on the Party’s message on child sex abuse. For this large number of Americans, however, the Platforms just nibble around the problem.
One needs to cast a wide net for “children” in each Platform to find some indication of how the Party views the epidemic of child sex abuse. Neither uses the phrase “child sex abuse.”
The Republican Platform on Children
One child-related Republican plank that decidedly does not apply to victims of sex abuse is the Republican Platform’s constitutional right for “unborn” children. There is also the issue of “minimizing the separation of children with disabilities from their peers.”
Then there are the issues that have some relation to the scourge of child sex abuse: For example, the RNC has a section on pornography: “Pornography, with its harmful effects, especially on children, has become a public health crisis that is destroying the lives of millions.” This seems like a serious commitment to the prevention of child sex abuse, though the next line seems to take it away: “We encourage states to continue to fight this public menace and pledge our commitment to children’s safety and well-being. . . . We urge energetic prosecution of child pornography. . . .” Pornography is a classic example of problem with negative externalities that cannot be solved by states individually. It requires national action, in conjunction with countries all over the world, so why is the RNC pointing to the states to stop what is a global market in child pornography? More importantly, why would a presidential platform “urge energetic prosecution?” Does that it mean it is not urging vigorous federal prosecution of child pornographers? Who and what are the Republicans protecting here, if anyone?
Finally, the RNC Platform opposes “human trafficking.” Now, this is a crime for which the Republicans appear to be suggesting federal prosecution: “We will use the full force of the law against those who engage in commercial sexual exploitation. . . .” Hear hear.
Yet, this phrasing is odd, and so here is my question for the Republican Platform drafters: what about the noncommercial sexual exploitation that happens in the United States every single day? In families, schools, churches, on teams, and anywhere children live or play. There should not have to be an exchange of money for the Republicans to oppose child sexual exploitation.
To summarize, the Republicans are pledging to fight sexual images of children and prostituting them, with which all good people should agree, to be sure, but they are mum on the child sex abuse crisis that is in everyone’s news feeds every single day. The Platform also rejects ratification of the international Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The Democratic Platform on Children
The Democratic Platform does not have an “unborn” child plank, but does have a plank to “end raids and roundups of children and families” in the immigration context. There is also a lengthy plank on making education—including early childhood education—a priority. This section includes a promise to ensure “children have health care, stable housing free of contaminants, and a community free of violence in order to minimize the likelihood of cognitive delays.” Sprinkled throughout other sections are various promises to end child labor, provide children mental health care, feed the hungry, count them in the Census, and let them opt out of standardized tests.
The Democrats do join the Republicans in their stand against trafficking: “We will stop the scourge of human trafficking and modern slavery of men, women, boys, and girls. We will use the full force of the law against those who engage in modern-day forms of slavery, including the commercial sexual exploitation of children. . . .” There is that phrase again: “commercial sexual exploitation.” Again, there is no acknowledgment of the epidemic of noncommercial child sexual exploitation that afflicts American children border to border.
It is not terribly surprising to see neither Platform paying much attention to children, or to child sex abuse. There are many reasons for this omission: Adults prefer and protect adults. Children don’t vote. Denial. A bystander culture. Willed ignorance. Yet, these reasons, whether individual or taken together, don’t solve the problem.
A Proposed Plank for the Epidemic of Child Sex Abuse
Neither party has stepped up for the millions of sex abuse victims and, therefore, the Platforms should be disappointing to these victims, their families, and friends. But this is an epidemic that hurts every American, and there is a cost-benefit ratio that both parties need to consider. Taxpayers and the healthcare and insurance industries pay for the lost productivity and medical costs that flow from this epidemic. Preventing sex abuse, identifying hidden child predators, and providing treatment and justice to existing survivors would yield tremendous savings that could go toward other challenges like education.
Here is a draft plank to address the scourge of child sex abuse in the United States: “Best estimates suggest that 20-25 percent of American children are subjected to sexual abuse. The science of child sex abuse has established that the trauma of child sex abuse often has lasting effects, with victims experiencing a significantly higher rate of PTSD, addiction, suicide, and many other physical, mental, and emotional negative consequences than the population generally. Child sex abuse destroys childhoods, lives, and families, and deprives the United States of the talents and contributions of too many. The cost is typically borne by the victims rather than the institutions that created the conditions for the abuse. The justice system has routinely failed child sex abuse victims through unfairly short criminal and civil statutes of limitations. To turn the tide on this epidemic, (1) the federal government should incentivize the states to eliminate the criminal and civil statutes of limitations for child sex abuse and to revive expired civil statutes of limitations; (2) the President should appoint a National Commission on child sex abuse, similar to the Australian Royal Commission; and (3) Congress should amend the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to prevent its application in any case involving harm to a child.”
I know, I know. Kids don’t vote, but adults do, and with 20-25 percent of the population sexually abused when they were children, that’s a “faction” worth appealing to.

4 responses to “The Demographic Both Party Platforms Missed: Child Sex Abuse Victims”
Marci, thank you for that information. Is this information only referring to the current party platform as it relates to their Presidential candidate? I’m asking because the Democrat President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden created a White House Task Force in 2014 to protect students from sexual assault: https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/01/22/memorandum-establishing-white-house-task-force-protect-students-sexual
Granted, the majority of the press and wording around it focuses on college-age, campus rape and assault but it does specifically address elementary and secondary schools in section 2c.
Obama also started the “It’s on Us” initiative that is an awareness campaign to end sexual assault on campuses.
My daughter was molested by her teacher in the third grade and I was molested by my grandpa when I was 8-10y/o so I understand first hand the need to have more focus on the younger ages and not just in the schools but in the homes, churches, sports camps, youth serving organizations.
However, I want to applaud and make well known the efforts the current administration has started that hopefully, the next administration will continue. If we don’t acknowledge those efforts then nobody will see the value in continuing or funding them.
Parents need to protect their children with their vote. Who will send the right message to their kids? Who is the better role model for their kids? Who is setting up tasks forces and initiatives to protect their kids?
Since we have only two party system new ideas are rare. Even extremely critical issues like child abuse gets overlooked. It is disheartening to see how educated and smart people stays satisfied with status quo and always follow the party line. Two is not a crowd. So there is no noise and there are no new ideas.
At this time about 4 million americans are on probation. A quarter of them served time on drug charges.
With 20 percent of population suffering from child abuse, let us see where we are heading. Say there are about 2 victims for each abuser. That means about 10 percent or 30 million americans that are child molesters.
Imagine we have to send 30 million voting adults to prison for molesting children. That is politically devastating.
Fantastic. If you need waypoints to help navigate this election season, this is a great place to start.
Thanks for your comments. The federal government has ignored
child sex abuse epidemic unless it falls under catch phrases like “trafficking”. That means Congress and the Presidents have left the majority of victims ( primarily female and abused by family or close family associate) out in the cold. The three words no politician from either party at any level has yet to have the guts and integrity to say are “clergy sex abuse.” Federal politicians are so busy pandering to religious entities and the supposed votes they deliver on all issues, they have read headlines, grand jury reports, and seen Spotlight and prerended there is no problem. I have little hope the Republican Party will step up for child sex abuse victims anytime soon but I do hope the Democrats and Hillary Clinton in particular will.

PARIS, Jan. 29 (UPI) -- The French navy has successfully carried out an unarmed submarine launch of an M51 ballistic missile, the Defense Ministry in Paris says.
The test, conducted from the Bay of Audierne in northwest France, was accomplished "as scheduled," marking the fourth such successful test of M51 missiles conducted carried out between 2006 and 2008.
The test, said a statement from the French Ministry of Defense, was launched from the submarine Le Terrible. It was tracked during the entire flight by the missile test center of the French Armament Procurement Agency and also surveyed by the vessel Monge.
"Defense Minister Herve Mortin expressed his great satisfaction with the success which is so far the four experimental flight of the M51 strategic missile without a nuclear warhead," the statement said.
The M51 is scheduled to be used on the nuclear submarines for the launch of next generation devices of the country's naval forces in 2010. At least six additional flight tests have been planned for the missile before it goes into service later this year.
"This success once more demonstrates the excellence of the French industry's high technology in this particular field of technology," the Defense Ministry statement said.
The M51 strategic missile weighs about 54 tons and has a range of about 5,000 miles. It has the ability to carry six to 10 independent thermo-nuclear warheads and enjoys greater accuracy than the current M45 ballistic missile, which has half of the flight range of the M51.
"This test marks an important step in the modernization and adaptation of France's deterrence within the strict respect of its international engagements," the Defense Ministry statement said.
EADS Astrium is the prime contractor of the M51. It is collaborating with G2P, a joint venture between Snecma Propulsion Solide and SNPE Materiaux Energetiques, and the CEA French Atomic Energy Commission.
Once fully operational, the M51 will enter service on Le Terrible, the last of four new-generation ballistic missile submarines of the Le Triomphant class in the French Navy's strategic oceanic force, French military experts said.
When in service, each submarine is expected to carry up to 16 M51 missiles.
The successful test launch marks a sigh of relief for the embattled EADS which has been seen its most important project -- the A400M military plan -- engulfed in prolonged delays and debate over funding.
The company has been seeking an additional $8.9 billion to complete the project, on top of $28 billion in fixed costs for delivery of 180 planes to a string of European nations.

Second (Between, 2013) in an urban fantasy series where three worlds—Wakeworld, Dreamworld and Between—are real.
In the series opener, ER doctor Vivian Maylor learned that she is the last of the dreamshifters, one who can move at will from one realm to another. She’s also able to transform herself into a dragon—and she’s a sorceress. Unfortunately, nobody instructed her on how to awaken or use any of her powers. In the Dreamworld, her boyfriend, bookseller and artist Zee Arbogast, is the Warlord, slayer of dragons, and Vivian doesn’t know how to tell him about herself. Wherever she goes, she’s followed by a smart, brave penguin named Poe. Becoming a dragon has drawbacks, too, since dragons follow their own instincts and care nothing for humans. Meanwhile, Morgan Weathersby makes a living by conducting small parties of hunters into the Dreamworld, where they can bag spectacular trophies. He’s actually a dreamshifter too, but he rejected the calling as a young boy and was forced to witness his father slaughter the rest of his family, a crime for which he was blamed. When his latest safari goes dreadfully wrong, he decides to return to his roots and learn about his origins, either to take up his calling or put an end to himself, he isn’t sure which. Meanwhile, an old witch steals Vivian’s protective amulet and locks her out of the Dreamworld. She learns of the existence of another possible dreamshifter, who might be able to help, and goes off to find him. This is only the beginning of a huge and complicated plot—sometimes overly so—vigorously narrated within spectacular and vivid settings, with action that rarely slackens. Best of all, it’s set forth in prose so evocative that it practically leaps off the page.
Baffling sometimes but enthralling and hugely enjoyable.

This is silly, I know.
I was once holding a baby. I felt awkward, like the small babe just didn’t fit in my arms. She felt stiff, like she couldn’t relax. And maybe I couldn’t either. I have to admit, I don’t like how breakable babies feel.
I was only able to hold this little girl for a few minutes before she was whisked away by someone more capable. This younger woman, more confident than I, held the baby, swinging her back and forth. And it looked like they both (baby and woman) belonged. They both fit.
“She looks good on you,” somebody instantly said from over my shoulder.
The younger woman smiled and laughed, “Oh, no. Not yet.”
Tears welled up in my eyes despite how desperately I tried to suppress them. It’s silly, I know.
Infertility is many things. And, for me, one of those things is the feeling that I am not able to become pregnant because I am not good enough. At that moment, I felt inadequate to parent. Unable to mother. Too awkward. Too stiff. Too hesitant.
And my fears felt validated. That’s rarely a good thing. It seemed nobody else thought the baby looked good on me. So why should I want one so bad? What if God doesn’t think a baby looks good on me?
It’s a silly thought. I hope.
But, really, maybe motherhood will (eventually) look different on me.
This weekend I played “Anna and Elsa” with my niece, Clara. She just turned three. We ran in circles in the middle of my parents’ family room. We took turns saying lines from the movie. If you have to ask which movie, I’ll have to ask you where you’ve been hiding for the past few years.
“Do you want to build a snowman?” That was my line. I was Anna. Clara was both Elsa and director. She told me where to lay my head and which words to emphasize. Like the trained actor I am, I obliged. By the way, it’s, “Do you want to build a snoooowMAN?” not “Do you want to BUILD a snowman?”
Clara would say, “This is a special Frozen, because there’s no Hans in it.”
We can make up the rules can’t we? I watched her as she thought, and I watched her laugh, and I watched her watch me.
Who cares what other people say or imply or forget to say.
I make up the rules, and (I know / I hope) I’m going to be a silly, rockin’ mom someday.
I once had this dream.
I was living in an old house. It was three floors tall and dangerously skinny. The house was leaning, but solid. It was skimming a silent, silver lake. The weeds and yellowing wildflowers outside were dusted with ice. The sunshine was cold and lifeless; and everything was gray — like an eternally impending rainstorm.
In most of my nightmares, I’m confused. I hate being confused. I’m a thinker. I like to figure things out. I like to understand. I like to know the answer. Confusion is born of lack of knowledge. So, in my nightmares, I’m confused.
But this was different.
This dream was a nightmare. Not because I was confused, but because of what I knew. In my dream, I knew I was spending my last day with my husband. He was going to die. And we both knew it. We filled our day with simple joys, and it was beautiful. And then we said goodbye. And that was it. He was gone.
I remember neighbors from my childhood home coming to grieve with me, though I remember feeling alone. I remember sitting on the floor of the third-story bedroom. The dusty hardwood beneath me. The homemade quilts on the bed. And the gray.
When I woke up, I sobbed. I woke Jeff up and hugged him with everything I’ve got.
The eery part of the dream, though, was the calm. Sad calm.
Last night, I watched this video. First, I felt bad for her family. Her husband. Her mother. They were going to experience one of those “last days” — like the one in my dream.
But then, I watched How to Die in Oregon. It’s a documentary film about the “Death with Dignity” law. It’s uncomfortable and difficult to watch, but that’s why I recommend it.
After the film, I felt sad and grateful and confused and enlightened. I had more questions than answers. I felt empathy for those people like they were my mom, husband, grandpa or grandma. I felt love for them and their families. I felt love for others like them, though they are unknown to me.
And, I realized, I can’t understand it all.
I’m not trying to convince anybody to pick a side on this topic. If anything, I encourage you not to pick a side yet. First, listen. Really listen.
“But let one speak at a time and let all listen unto his sayings, that when all have spoken that all may be edified of all… See that ye love one another” (Doctrine & Covenants 88:122-3).
Honestly, I don’t know where I stand on the issue. I’m processing. And I think that’s a good thing. I’m grateful I can’t fully understand.
I’m grateful I don’t know.
I do know this: Last night I dreamt I was the sick one. And Jeff and I knew when my suffering would stop. And we were calm. Sad and calm.
I woke up quickly. A rude awakening, for sure. I felt a stabbing, searing pain below my abdomen — like my insides were a washcloth violently wringing. I stumbled out of bed and into the bathroom. This pain was familiar. Too familiar. In the harsh and blinding light of the bathroom, my half-formed suspicions were validated. Blood. Familiar blood.
I held myself tight and trekked back into the bedroom, seeking a rice sock and some ibuprofen. I threw the rice sock into the microwave. Thank goodness for unnaturally quick heat. With my steaming rice sock bandage, I shuffled back into bed.
By this time, Jeff had noticed my rummaging. I whined out my pain and broadcasted my dismay that I was unable to find the ibuprofen. Thankfully, Jeff was able to find a few safely stored away in a ziplock bag. A quick slice of bread, glass of water and a couple pills later… I knew from past experience that the pain would soon subside.
Except, there is another pain. One that is not diminished so easily. It’s the pain that asks why.
Just over a year ago, I was diagnosed with PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome). Along with a host of rather unpleasant symptoms, I may not be able to bear my own children. In reality, in this life, motherhood may not happen for me. I’ve now experienced 21 months (but who’s counting?) of familiar, and unwelcome, blood — 12 of those knowing how I am broken.
But still I hoped. And this month I felt especially hopeful. I prayed in a way that reminded me what it means to “pray always.” I was in constant conversation with my Heavenly Father. “Heavenly Father, I know you can make a miracle in me. Please make a miracle in me.” “Heavenly Father, I know you can heal me, please bless us with a baby.” And on more difficult days, “Father, I believe you can heal me. Help thou mine unbelief.”
And I felt hope. And peace. And like the timing was right and good and soon. I felt trusted and blessed. And above all, I hoped.
But then. Familiar blood.
It is hard to pick up pieces of a broken heart and a broken hope. It is hard to remember belief when it is viewed through tears and hurt and questions. But, as always, I have a choice to make. And I choose to continue hoping and believing — even (and especially) through my brokenness.
“Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” (Mark 9:24)
Right now you are in the other room. You have a yucky stomach flu. I made you some Jello, but it won’t be ready for another hour.
I have to say. Sunday was a great day, wasn’t it? I wish everyday could be like Sunday. I wish I could stay wrapped up in your arms until 11:00 AM. I wish we could always talk before we get out of bed. I wish we could always help each other cook and watch documentaries and take golden time naps.
I’m going to miss you as we fill our evenings with classes and work and classwork. I’m going to miss you as we get wrapped up in books and research and theses.
Luckily, we’ll still have Sundays. Sundays will be ours.
You are mine and I am yours. I’m so glad that the treachery and drudgery of life, while temporarily stalling us, only ends up bringing us closer than ever before.
I am amazed by your quiet strength and caring. I am astounded by your love for me, even in all my weakness. You are my hero, my love, and I’m so glad I get to spend the rest of forever as yours.
To many more Sundays with you.
I love you to the moon and back.
Your Meggie, Your Love
A Saturday is a funny thing.
As an adult, I know I should use this day to get my crap done. I work all week, and I put off laundry and dishes and cleaning, and there are piles all about the apartment. It’s okay though. I know which is the clean pile and which is the dirty… at least I did on Wednesday. By Saturday, I have to go by the smell test. Smells clean? Good to go. Smells dirty? Move it farther away from the clean pile… It’s not a perfect system.
I know I should clean it all up on Saturday and get everything ready for the coming week. I should go grocery shopping and do some meal planning. I should make freezer meals and vacuum carpets. I should clean the shower and take out the recycling. I know what adults are supposed to do.
But, sometimes, I don’t want to be an adult.
Sometimes I want grab a fork and scarf down half a watermelon straight out of the giant bowl.
And then I want to NOT go grocery shopping. I want to NOT spend a hundred dollars on food. I want to NOT have the self-check-out-lane voice yell at me to place my items in the bagging area.
And instead I want to go to the mall and buy a new hat. The new hat will look like I should wear it on the beach. It will make me want to go on vacation.
So instead of doing grown up things, we’ll pretend we are on vacation. And we’ll road trip down to our old stomping grounds. And we’ll reminisce.
I’ll eat a donut for lunch. We’ll compare Dunkin’ Donuts with Krispy Kremes. And we’ll decide Krispy Kremes are superior because they melt in your mouth.
And we’ll pretend, for just a day, that it doesn’t matter what food we eat.
We’ll take the long way home and drive through small towns. We’ll look at dilapidated country homes and crumbling main streets.
We’ll catch a view we’ve never seen before. We’ll catch the sun glimmering on sacred stained glass and gaze at the vibrant tulips all around. We’ll scoff at big homes and wish for the small ones.
We won’t listen to NPR. We’ll listen to music. And we’ll hear “Magic” every other hour and sing along to Imagine Dragons.
We’ll stroll through the park, and I’ll do the unthinkable and use a park bathroom. Then we’ll decide it’s time to go home. But we’ll stop in Target on the way. We’ll find you a reading light and me a new backpack.
But we’ll still pretend you don’t have finals, and I don’t have chores.
I’ll love every minute of this wannabe vacation. ‘Cause I love every minute with you. We’ll do the chores and the studying later. There’s always Monday. For now, I’m just happy it’s a Saturday with you.
I needed spiritual enlightenment.
I mean, I was seriously struggling. God seemed far away. My mind knew that he was there, but my heart felt abandoned. And it seemed like, if He was there, He didn’t care much for me.
Do you know that friend, in elementary school, that you had only when you needed them? You kept them around for desperate situations. Like, if all your other friends were busy or on vacation, then you would hang out. They were the friend you talked to when none of your other friends were around. Maybe you were that friend — the sometimes friend. Being that friend is not much fun. It feels like no matter what you do for your “cooler” friend, they will never like you as much as they like their “cooler” friends. You will always be their sometimes friend.
That’s the way I felt with God. It felt like no matter what I did and what I said, He was only there sometimes. He seemed to like all those “cooler” people better. He showered them with blessings and always seemed to be guiding their paths. When I was here stumbling through the dark and grasping for something to keep me from falling.
My head knew something that my heart didn’t want to admit yet, though. My head knew that God was always there for me. My head was certain that He would “not leave [me] comfortless” (John 14:18). My head knew that all I needed to do was ask him. Because my head knew the scripture, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you” (Matthew 7:7). My heart knew it once, too.
But this time I was hurt. I wanted Him to come to me just because He knew I was in pain. I wanted to be rescued. I got very close to insisting a very dramatic solution. If that required my wandering from His path, then so be it. I needed Him to prove to me that I was worth it. I wanted to know that I mattered to Him. I didn’t want to be the sometimes friend anymore.
Here’s the thing: I wasn’t His sometimes friend. He was mine. He turned into my sometimes friend when I stopped praying to Him consistently. He changed into my sometimes friend when I read my scriptures (or not) and didn’t take the time to ponder and study them. He became my sometimes friend when I dreaded going to church on Sunday. Little by little, I let my attitude and actions make Him a stranger to me — which explains my irrational thinking and total misjudgment of His character.
Lucky for me, He is full of grace. And He never did leave. I befriended him by studying his words in the scriptures, earnestly praying for guidance and comfort and answers. Instead of reading verse after verse without processing the words, I began to study by topic. I let His spirit guide my study. Whatever topics latched onto my mind and heart, I studied.
First, I read about the phrase “Come unto Me.” Then, the story pictured above. You can see a video of it here. Basically, there is a woman with an “issue of blood.” Year after year, she is sick. She searches for cures from all the best physicians. She spends all her money. Yet, 12 years later, not only is she still sick, she is actually worse off than before. (Tell me you haven’t felt like this before — especially all you amazing women who are unsuccessfully trying to conceive.) This woman, with great faith, “came behind him [Jesus]” (Luke 8:44, Mark 5:2, Matthew 9:20) and said that if she can just touch His clothes, she will be made whole again. She will be healed. So she touches His clothes. And immediately the sickness she had dealt with for 12 years disappears.
First, I find it interesting that the woman came behind Him. That means she followed Him, right? And, unlike me, she wasn’t throwing a pity party or making a dramatic scene. No, she just knew that if she followed Him and got close enough to touch His clothes, she would be healed. She was sick for 12 years and had every right to be bitter, sad, disappointed and angry. But she wasn’t. She chose to follow Him. And because of that choice, she was healed. Because of her faith, in combination with her closeness to the Savior, she was made whole.
I must choose to follow Him, too. And not just from afar. I need to get close enough to Him to touch His clothes.
You know what happens next in the story? It’s so cool. The woman touches Jesus’ clothes when they are in a crowded city street. She touches His clothes and is completely healed. Jesus says “Who touched me?” The apostles look around at each other and the busy city street and answer, “Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou who touched me?” (Luke 8:45). In other words, there are people all around. We’re getting pushed every which way. How can you ask who touched you? But, guess what? Jesus noticed her. Among all those people in the street, He noticed her pain and her faith and her healing. This story is recorded in a few places in the Bible, but my favorite is recorded in Luke, chapter 8, simply because of this verse: “And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately” (Luke 8:47).
She was not hid. She was not hid. She was not hid.
And neither am I.
Though the woman in this story is nameless to you and me, she is not nameless to Him. History does not know her (but for this brief recorded moment), but He knows her. The crowd — and even the apostles — did not see her, but He saw her.
And now that I see I am not hid, I will “Come unto [him, for I] labour and [am]heavy laden” (Matthew 11:28). I will do all in my power to draw closer to Him that, one day, even if that day is 12 or more years away, he might say, “Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole” (Matthew 9:22).

The Detroit Pistons will open the 2020-21 season Dec. 23 against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center, in the NBA debut for Anthony Edwards, the top pick in this year’s draft.
The NBA released the schedule for the first half of the 72-game season. This enables the league to adjust the second-half schedule for games postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Pistons’ home opener is Dec. 26 vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers in what will be Andre Drummond’s first visit to Detroit since being traded in February.
Other first-half highlights include a Jan. 28 visit by the NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James.
It remains to be seen if and when fans will be permitted to attend games at Little Caesars Arena.
“Based on current public health and governmental guidelines, at this time, the club will not host fans to open the regular season,” the Pistons said in the schedule release. “The organization will continue to work closely with the NBA and state and local authorities to identify appropriate timing for safely welcoming back fans to Little Caesars Arena. The Detroit Pistons remain steadfast in executing all necessary precautions to ensure the health and safety of players, employees and fans.”
A quirk in the schedule will see teams playing back-to-back games in a particular city to reduce travel.
The second-half schedule will be released at a later date.
The Pistons open their four-game preseason schedule Dec. 11 against the New York Knicks at LCA.
Complete broadcast schedules for Pistons’ games on Fox Sports Detroit and 97.1 FM The Ticket will be released at a later date.

BETHESDA, Md.—Moxy Hotels, Marriott International’s contemporary and edgy lifestyle brand, in collaboration with the company’s Content Studio, will premiere “DO NOT DISTURB,” a new YouTube web series hosted by Taryn Southern, the comedian, creator and star of Taryn TV, on Nov. 12.
The eight-episode series will air weekly on MoxyHotels.com and Moxy’s YouTube channel as a fun virtual extension of the brand.
“We partnered directly with YouTube influencers and enabled these creators to do what they do best—tell original stories, engage audiences, and ultimately create entertaining content where the brand plays a character in the story,” said Vicki Poulos, global brand director, Moxy Hotels. “We chose to partner Moxy Hotels with Taryn Southern, who like our brand, is someone young at heart and not afraid of challenging the status quo, to show the world what ‘moxie’ really means.”
Set up as a slumber party, “DO NOT DISTURB” was taped in YouTube Studios in a mock-up of a Moxy bedroom, where Taryn interviews and gossips with celebs about their careers, travel habits and quirky experiences on the road. Southern gets answers to the questions you only wish you could ask a celebrity at 2 a.m. in their hotel room—what were the last three things that Flula googled? How does Mamrie Hart cure a hangover? Other special guests include Sawyer Hartman, Bart Baker, Timothy DeLaGhetto, Lisa Schwartz, Steve Greene, and Nikki Limo.
The first two episodes to premiere will feature YouTubers Flula and Mamrie Hart, irreverent pop culture personalities whose “Truth and Dare” sessions with Taryn leave little to the imagination. Taryn Southern’s beatbox back-up during Timothy DeLaGhetto’s freestyle rap show how they both found their individual moxie.
“Marriott International launched its Content Studio to further its focus on Next Gen travelers by producing engaging and entertaining content to build worldwide communities of people passionate about travel,” said David Beebe, vice president, creative and content marketing at Marriott International. “Moxy Hotels’ DO NOT DISTURB web series is a perfect, playful illustration of our strategy of not interrupting what consumers are interested in—instead becoming what they are captivated by through creative storytelling.”
The series debuts as Moxy Hotels prepares to aggressively enter the U.S. market. Ten Moxy Hotel projects are slated to open in 2016 in major metropolitan locations in the U.S. including New Orleans (French Quarter and Warehouse District), San Francisco, New York City (Chelsea, Midtown, and Lower Manhattan), Chicago, Seattle, San Diego, and Washington, D.C.
Moxy Hotels’ tech-enabled rooms feature Keyless entry, screencasting, abundant plugins, motion sensor lighting under bed, and free Wi-Fi. The Guestbook, located in the lobby of Moxy Hotels, is a global digital platform leveraging Instagram that collects stories, images, quotes, videos and experiences from everybody that passes through or touches Moxy. The Guestbook seamlessly sits between digital and real life as all the content not only lives on the website, Instagram and Wi-Fi hotel screens, but is featured on a video wall which has been integrated into the design strategy.
Filming for the series took place at YouTube Space LA in conjunction with VidCon. The first “DO NOT DISTURB,” video featuring Flula can be viewed on Moxy’s YouTube channel, here.

HT20 FOLYADÉKOK ÉS GÁZOK SZÁMÍTÓGÉPVEZÉRELT HŐVEZETÉSE
The Armfield Conductivity of Liquids and Gases unit has been specifically designed to enable students to measure and compare the thermal conductivities of various liquids and gases. It’s designed to facilitate quick and effective cleaning and to minimise thermal losses.
The HT20 / HT20C is backwards compatible with the HT10XC, so if you already own an HT10XC, you can easily expand the teaching potential with the addition of this accessory.
The unit comprises a cylindrical, electrically heated, nickel-plated aluminium core surrounded by a nickel-plated aluminium sleeve. The core and the sleeve are arranged so that a uniform narrow annular gap is created between the two parts, which is filled by the liquid or gas to be analysed.
The temperature on each side of the fluid is measured by thermocouples in the surface of the core and the sleeve. HT20C adds an electronic proportioning valve and flow meter to vary and measure the flow using HT10XC. Both versions incorporate an insulated jacket to minimise heat exchange from and to the atmosphere.
The fluid to be tested is injected into the annular gap between the heated core and the cooled jacket using a hypodermic syringe. Measurement of the temperature difference between the heated and cooled surfaces together with the power supplied to the heater (measurement of DC voltage and current) using HT10XC allows the conductivity of the fluid to be calculated. The surface area and thickness of the fluid sample remain constant during all tests.
Thickness of fluid sample: 0.5mm (Fixed by the annular gap)
Nominal heat transfer area: 1.225 x10-2 m2
Gas / liquid sample volume: 6.126ml
Maximum heater power: 200W at 24V
Maximum operating temperature: 90°C (limited by integral thermostat)
Software: Supplied with HT10XC
Software capabilities: Control and logging of HT20/HT20C
Software source code: Product / HT / HT10XC

William Ruto is one of the most famous political leaders in the republic of Kenya and east Africa at large. He is the current deputy president of Kenya as well as the deputy chief in command of the defence forces. Above all, Ruto is the Captain of the hustler nation.

As established by hon George Ndung'u Koimburi through his Official Facebook page, he met Dr William Ruto at his Harambee office. Mr koimburi said that this was his welcoming to the hustler nation.
George Ndung'u Koimburi for those who may not know him is the MP-elect for Juja constituency. He was declared as the winner for this seat on Tuesday by the IEBC. Mr koimburi won this with using Moses Kuria's PEP party where he battled with Jubilee candidate who emerged as the second.
We wish him well as he is preparing to take over the office of the member of parliament for Juja constituency. May God bless him. Have a look at the photos taken during the meeting.
