Showing results by narrator "Ulka S. Mohanty"
Seventeen-year-old Yvette doesn't know what's worse: being locked up on a high-security psych ward for a crime she's not sure she committed or having to see the vacant eyes of her fellow patients. All she wants is her sister back, her parents to get a clue, her brother to quit dealing drugs, the murder trial to be over, and, most of all, to be reunited with the pretty little pills that change the gory red on her hands to a much more pleasant hazy blue. Well that and serious, hard-core, merciless revenge.
It seems that nothing in RN Lucy Lavigne's life is going as planned. Her live-in boyfriend of four years has left her with a house under renovations, and she feels lost and abandoned. When a research study puts her in close contact with the intimidating trauma surgeon Knox Payten (known to the nursing staff as "The Beast") she finds that maybe things are better than she thought. She realizes that her relationship ended for a reason, and it seems that getting to know Doctor Payten is just what she needed!

I loved reading the book but the audio book was a whole new great experience!
When a handsome young man, claiming to be 300 years old, offers Cara a chance at a new life in his future utopian world she considers she has two options: back away cautiously or try to help the obviously deluded stranger. Because it comes naturally to a teacher of autistic kids to help, Cara decides to take the second option. By doing so, she unwittingly opens herself up to a passionate new love in an unimaginable new world where clones extend lifespans and time travel is used to repopulate a decimated human population.
Our souls were crushed in a quiet revolution. We can no longer think for ourselves in an era controlled by artificial intelligence. While on the brink of starvation, we are led to believe that life is perfect. There is no need for hope; no one realizes that any is required. Only a handful of Untruthers live outside of this grand illusion. I am now one of them. My name is Carl Winston, and I have lost everything to find the truth.
Taunya's life has been predestined since the beginning of time, as well as every first-born daughter in her lineage. She is the vessel entrusted with Mankind's Greatest Champion, Jinxx. Together they must fight back an army of demons and keep the balance of Good and Evil. That is if Taunya and Jinxx can survive each other. Will they find their balance or will Evil conquer mankind?
24 years have passed since Blood Dawn--the event where vampires not only revealed their existence to humanity, but conquered entire nations. Some countries like America were lucky enough to wrest free of their attempted coup, but have been plagued with dismally high murder rates ever since. Lilith was literally made to be a killer herself--but of vampires, not humans. The first of her kind; a genetically engineered hybrid combining the superior physical attributes of a lycanthrope with the formidable psychic gifts of a vampire. She spends her days working under a human alias as the head of security at the local office of Genesis Industries--the wealthy, secretive corporation that created Lilith and the others like her.

My weight slowly crept up after we were married a few years and then I got pregnant with Audrey and gained 30lbs. And I became a new stay-at-home-mom once Audrey was born and since I was home everyday alone with a baby (and I loved to cook & bake) I just went overboard filling my days doing both and eating it all! I was trying to feed myself happy when in fact I was pretty sad, I was eating out of emotion. I actually GAINED 20lbs over 2yrs after having Audrey–I was back to 185, the weight I was right before I gave birth, and I wasn't pregnant! I felt so low.
I ended up doing a Biggest Loser challenge with some girlfriends and lost 10lbs when I found out I was pregnant with our second baby. I was initially devastated, because it was not the weight I wanted to be to start a pregnancy. I ate very carefully during my second pregnancy though and only gained about 20lbs and I came home from the hospital actually lighter than I had been in two years. That was a great motivation to keep going with my healthy kick.
After I had Finley in June of 2010 I just stuck with healthy eating and picked up ChaLEAN Extreme and got addicted to lifting heavy and really developing muscle to burn fat. Although when I started I still had anxiety over my body and where I was starting. I couldn't even muster the courage to have my husband take my before picture, my 4yr old daughter Audrey took them for me. That's when I realized I had to do this! And that first workout killed me, my lungs burned and my whole body was shaking…. I was SO out of shape. But it worked like a charm and I stuck to it! I lost 20lbs, 21″ and 10% body fat in 90 DAYS!!! But not only that I had gained confidence and was happy in my own skin again and to me that was PRICELESS! And then I was just inspired to do more… I've continued on with my weight training and have become a super clean eating machine all while keeping up with my family and growing my Beachbody business!! I'm now physically & financially FIT!
As a mom, you're always putting everyone else first, but I'm hear to tell you you'll be a better wife AND mother when you put yourself on the top of your to-do list! I had several years where I barely made myself a priority and it showed. I was unhappy with myself and that was not the example I wanted to set for my two little girls. Now that I'm done having babies it's time for this mommy to be smokin' hot–I'm in the best shape of my life in my 30′s. LOVE IT!
This is why you're such am inspirational coach. I'm thankful everyday that you came into my life. I'm proud of you.
Hi leslie, recently visited your blog through google. Have been reading some of your post. I myself struggling with some health issues. Some guys advised to that I should workout. TBH I'm super lazy in these kind of things. I mean I have seen some motivational videos around internet and that is the reason I would say that keep me doing things which I'm super lazy about. My objective is to gain bit of muscular body as I'll call my self-bit skinny. Recently ordered some equipment's using smai promo code. I know my problem would be bit off topic but still fitness is what everyone want to get. I mean a pregnant women is showing that much passion then why I should be idle. Kindly tell a trick how you stay motivated, definitely it would help me.

Sephardic Music on Demand
By Matthue Roth | December 22, 2008
Debbie Friedman: Singing Unto God
Klezmer Music
This week in New York is the Sephardic Music Festival, and though, if you've been to a Sephardic music concert in New York, you've probably seen most of these folks already — Diwon, Pharaoh's Daughter, Sarah Aroeste and Piamenta are mainstays of the scene — but it's a good excuse to see many of them in full-length nights of their own.
For those of us a little farther from the Mother City, however, the recently-opened Sephardic Music Archive gives a new meaning to the word "exhaustive" — and not in a bad way at all. It's an online catalogue of Sephardic records and CDs, a world that you probably didn't realize existed — that is, until you look over this stuff. Some of it might cause you to double-take, I didn't realize that was Sephardic. More of it may cause you to double-take, I didn't realize that was Jewish…
Where else, for example, you can learn about, for instance, Bob Dylan playing harmonica on a Sephardic Jewish record (Carolyn Hester's self-titled album)? Or mp3s of early repertory recordings of ancient Spanish songs?
All told, it's a pretty invaluable resource. I don't even know how I'd use many of the site's areas, but I hope that someone gets some supremely good research for a graduate paper out of this, if nothing else — or, possibly, discovers a few hundred great new albums to buy (or, to drop a less-than-subtle hint, to bring back into print).
Pronounced: seh-FAR-dik, Origin: Hebrew, describing Jews descending from the Jews of Spain.
How to Learn Ladino
Where to find classes, lessons and more resources for mastering this Sephardic language also known as Judeo-Spanish.

Disney Guarantees Years of More Kardashian Content
by Stephanie Eckardt
Photo via Getty Image
Three months ago, the Kardashian family announced that it would no longer film and share the most intimate (and carefully crafted) moments of their personal lives—at least, in the form of their eponymous E! series. "It is with heavy hearts that we've made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up with the Kardashians," Kim Kardashian wrote on Instagram. The move marked the end of an era, encompassing "14 years, 20 seasons, hundreds of episodes and numerous spin-off shows." (Remember Life of Kylie?)
KUWTK's last season airs early next year. But the wait to learn of their next "journey" is officially up. (It's not like Kim and co. were ever going to disappear.) On Thursday, Disney announced that the Kardashian-Jenners have signed a multiyear, global contract with the studio, in one of just several major announcements made over the course of its four-hour investor day presentation.
Though, details on the deal remain short. The video announcement was made solely via a picture of the family, and Disney's press release was a scant 46 words with a parting clarification of "additional details will be shared when available."
The mysterious content will air on Hulu and Disney's Star network (an international service), meaning that after 14 years, the Kardashians are abandoning E!. (Along with the network's host and producer, Ryan Seacrest, who got a special shout-out in the KUWTK announcement). Disney is the majority stakeholder of Hulu, though, interestingly Comcast, the parent company of E!, holds a minority stake in the company.
It remains to be scene if the family will continue in the docu-soap tradition of their E! program, though earlier rumors suggested that the family may opt for less personally invasive formats of reality television.
A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian)
It's hard to believe that the Kardashians' next foray could make them even more famous, but it has at least earned Kris, Kim, Khloé, Kourtney, Kendall, and Kylie a new title: Disney princess. Not that they needed it. At this point, they're not only considered American royals, but arguably hold even more power than the Windsors.

A holiday season which seemed so far off in the dog days of summer is now upon us, just moments around the corner. With Thanksgiving just next week, the mad dash is on to plan corporate holiday parties. While our larger clients have sealed their December destinies many moons ago, the small to mid-size companies are still out seeking corporate holiday party ideas and shopping venues, planning menus and locking in great DJ's. The moment to plan is now.
At this stage in the game, the bulk of the inquiries we receive at Deborah Miller Catering are for companies in the range of 100 – 350 people looking to plan a holiday party to remember. The trend these days is to take the corporate holiday party out of the office and out of traditional catering spaces and bring the companies twist and personality to an off-site space. Some lean towards funk, others lean toward sophisticated elegance, but all want to indulge their employees in a memorable evening of food, drink and conversation to thank them for a year of hard work.
While we love wild extravagance, we also respect the budget. Last year's festivities took us around the world from a tasting menu featuring China, Mexico, Asia and the Americas in a midtown dance club to an Andy Warhol themed event at a loft in Dumbo. The spark of imagination for each event generates with the companies' corporate holiday party ideas and then our creative forces take it from there and spin a tale to remember.
The best way to begin the process is to come to us with some tried and true parameters. During our initial conversation, we will ask how many guests you will be hosting, your estimated budget, geographic parameters and menu requests (cocktail party / buffet / seated dinner or any rendition, combination thereof). And the end all and be all question- what's the date of your corporate holiday party?!
When planning a corporate holiday party, budget is always a consideration. While everyone wants to do it to the nine's, one of the biggest event expenses is staff. One way to scale back on that cost is to plan a stationary menu with a focus on creative stations. This season our clients have been enjoying mashed potato bars, a classic pretzel and homemade pickle station and the forever favorite taco and slider bar. To amp it up to the next level, adding some passed hors d'oeuvres is always a nice twist and it can be complimented by a wine and beer bar with a whimsical cocktail or a full open bar if that's in the cards.
Ambiance can differ based on venue choice and as for venue choices, the options are there. There are obvious lofts, secret retail showrooms that convert to party spaces, spectacular venues with views of this great metropolis and down and dirty bars and clubs. Deborah Miller Catering offers a sneak at some of our favorite spaces on our website.
Our advice – pick up the phone and call us. While email is handy and online submissions quick, the best way to really get the process moving is a phone call. Let's talk and together we will plan a 2018 corporate holiday party to remember!


Whether you're looking for a way to bolster yourself in general or during those god dang frustrating moments with diabetes, I have always found acknowledging your strengths and spending more time with positive, rather than negative, emotions a doorway in.
I got to see the effects of sharing this with a dozen women recently at a DiabetesSister's POD group in Princeton, NJ and with about 40 participants at the recent JDRF TypeOneNation Summit in Manhattan.
Resilience Tip: Weaken Negative Emotions, Strengthen Positive.


I know it is a trivial thing but when you have hardwood floors there is nothing better than a good mop. A couple years ago, we had the old linoleum in our kitchen removed and replaced with nice tile. We also had the hardwood floors in our home sanded and stained, restoring them to their original, yet slightly scarred beauty.
For the past two years we've relied on the Swiffer for the kitchen and have treated the hardwood gingerly with some fancy dust mop the floor guy gave me. Well, that hasn't really cut it.
The other day I was in my local Price Rite and picked up this little beauty, an O-Cedar EasyWring spin mop, for the low price of $19.99. I know, it's a mop. Big deal. But it has a cool little spinny thing that extracts the water, making it a true damp mop. And it works great, combating the dust much better than any dry mop could. I have never been so excited to mop my floors.
Now if only I could get my kids as excited about mopping as I am!


Get ready to staaaaart dancing! Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman return with the start of the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom contest. We've had look back specials at previous series' and the launch show, but now its here the series 'proper'.
Tonight's outing on BBC One brings us the first live episode in what promises to be a spectacular series, the beeb crow in sequins and crepe.
Since the glamourous launch show where the celeb and pro dancer pairings were revealed, the stars and their professional partners have had two weeks to rehearse their first routine. Tonight, the 15 couples take to the Strictly ballroom to perform live in front of our fabulous four judges: Dame Darcey Bussell, Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood and Head Judge Shirley Ballas.
The judges will score each couple for the first time, but luckily there will be no farewells this week. Instead their scores will be carried over to next weekend, when the viewers get the chance to vote for their favourite couple.
We're sticking with BBC One for my next highlight as the biggest new drama on British television in over a decade reaches its conclusion with an extended, 75-minute finale.
Bodyguard is written by Jed Mercurio and also stars Gina McKee, Sophie Rundle, Pippa Haywood, Stuart Bowman, Vincent Franklin, Ash Tandon, and Nina Toussaint-White.
The search for a new music superstar heats up as The X Factor continues. The new era for what was once the nation's most talked about entertainment show continues a the 2018 panel with Robbie Williams, Ayda Williams, Louis Tomlinson and music mogul Simon Cowell look for more singing talent in this the seventh episode of the run.
They are joined by Mr Saturday Night, Dermot O'Leary, who will be on hand to guide viewers and contestants alike through their X Factor journey, providing them with a word of advice or a much-needed hug as the contestants perform in front of the judging panel.
This series sees the return of the arena auditions at The SSE Arena, Wembley, where the hopefuls will have to perform not only for the judges but live in front of members of the public, making it the biggest audition of their lives. Should they impress and secure three or more 'yeses' they will go through to the judge's deliberation, where the judges will review and decide who gets to perform in the Six Chair Challenge. 'Expect outstanding vocals and sensational performances, as the judges and contestants go all out in a bid to be crowned The X Factor Champion 2018.' ITV note.
This special is an intimate look into the life of icon Quincy Jones. A unique force of nature in music and popular culture for 70 years, Jones has transcended musical and racial boundaries; his story is inextricably woven into the fabric of Black America. Beyond his own acclaim as a trumpeter, producer, conductor, composer and arranger, Jones's inimitable gift to discover the biggest talents of the past half of the century is unprecedented.
He has mentored and cultivated the careers of young talents, from Lesley Gore and Michael Jackson to Oprah Winfrey and Will Smith. With his boundless energy, Jones has also awakened many generations to the significance of humanitarian issues. Quincy captures the kind of life that can only belong to a man with a big heart and an even bigger will to live forever. This Netflix original documentary, seamlessly threads personal vérité moments with private archival footage to reveal a legendary life like no other.
Michael Buerk looks at the creation of mass manufacturing, which meant that goods could be produced at a rate that had never been seen before in this the fourth and final episode of this factual, yet entertaining, series from Channel 5. Yes the station is certainly moving away from its Big Brother and late night titterlation image with shows such as these.
Anyway, back to the programme and in Manchester, he learns how engineer George Stephenson created the first intercity railway, so that cotton could be transported quickly and cheaply from Liverpool docks to Manchester's mills. Michael also discovers how the sewing machine – newly created in 1851 – created the rag trade, and visits what was probably the first shopping mall in the UK, the Burlington Arcade in London.
We'll stick with a bit of highbrow telly to round up this weekend's Best on the Box and return to the beeb with Roger Bannister: Everest on the Track.
On May 6, 1954, Roger Bannister became the first man to run a mile in less than four minutes. Since that day, more people have reached the summit of Everest than have matched Bannister's feat. But as this documentary reveals, before the lunchtime-trained runner could make history, he first had to survive the Second World War. His story is told by Bannister himself, as well as his rival John Landy, Sebastian Coe, and Chris Chataway, who was Bannister's friend and pacesetter – among many others.
The X Factor airs this weekend on ITV, as the channel hopes 2018 will be a turnaround for its declining ratings.

I just read Matt Walsh's latest blog post, in which he writes a letter to his young daughter to tell her that she's beautiful; and to warn her that culture will try to tell her otherwise so that it can make money off of her. That is all completely true. To be clear, I would NEVER pick a fight with Matt Walsh because A) He would debate me into a hole, and B) Although he can be quite abrasive, I respect his honesty. I don't disagree with his message (or the TONS of other writers on this subject) about making sure girls know that the Hollywood standard of beauty is skewed, fake, empty and gross. I do tell my girls they're beautiful and I talk a lot about finding beauty in our differences. They're too young to have observed much pressure to be "perfect" via magazines, commercials, etc. I imagine it will be a heartbreaking process to watch them go through when they're older and wiser; I hope Matt (my husband Matt, that is) and I are guided by God's hand as we walk with them through that.
I get it. Important things for women to know TRUTH about: Real beauty (IE: inner beauty, lovely character, pure hearts), modesty (IE: bikinis, short shorts, cleavage), dangers of vanity (IE: needless plastic surgery, too much makeup, overspending on stuff), and pressure (IE: purity, dating, not being taken advantage of). YES. Teach the truth about these things. They're real and important and hold value to women and girls.
Let me just ask a serious question, though: Is this ALL we think being a female boils down to?
Because these are the themes I see impressed on girls over and over again. My frustration is this: We say we need to tell girls that they're bigger and better than the way they look and then we only talk about the way they look. Even if we're saying "love yourself as you are" when we talk about bodies (which is positive), we are totally neglecting the depth and complexity and wealth of wonderful that comprises a woman (which is a CRYING SHAME).
This is maybe the easiest way for me to express this: I want my girls to know that WHO they are is powerful. They can lead others because of their ideas, their skills, their words, their brains. They can serve others because they are kind, compassionate, empathetic, selfless, joyful, healthy, and hard-working. And they can shine a light on God because they can do all these things FOR HIS GLORY. Their faces and bodies are only the vessel through which they do all of these ACTUALLY IMPORTANT things.
You know the Dove ads and that recent Always commercial? Oh man. So good. So real. I bawl like a baby because I see exactly where the women in our culture have wandered in our perception of who we are as a gender. I LOVE how the young girls in that Always ad are FREE and they're happy and they're confident. It's so sad that, as we grow, we learn that we're judged for just about everything we are and so we shrink into tiny, intimidated robot people. Confined little boxes that squelch LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY. We aren't meant to live like that, friends!
You're BIGGER and BETTER than your body or face. You have more to offer than that. Parents, teachers, ministers: Let's all stop concentrating solely on the physical and superficial when we talk about girls and start emphasizing the real, complex, magical traits that make us who we are. Stop discussing whether or not wearing makeup makes us "holy" and start talking about the ways we are improving our families, schools, friends, and communities. Please stop harping about clothes and promote bigger ideas about what we should be PURSUING instead of the shorts and swimsuits we should be avoiding. I want my girls to FIRST RUN TOWARD the good things instead of always RUNNING AWAY from bad things. If the only thing I do is warn them that the world is going to judge the way they look, I'm not only minimizing their complete, whole, AMAZING person-hood, I'm pointing them in the wrong direction of where I hope they end up; they'll forever be running scared instead of running their race of FAITH.
I'm telling you, these two…they're the BEST! I hope they never grow up. But, when they inevitably do, I hope they understand that they have SO MUCH to share with the world around them and that their flesh is simply their working resource with which to do it.


When it comes time to move into your new home, it can seem like a special occasion with no clear way to celebrate. However, there are always plenty of ways to celebrate any occasion, special or otherwise. You just have to have the power of imagination. Here a just a few great ways to celebrate your new home.
First and foremost, there's the time honored tradition of the house warming party. This simple party is great way to celebrate your new home. Your friends and family can visit you at your new home and help it feel more like home than it otherwise might. This touch of familiarity in your new digs will make you feel right at home. All you need is some music, some great food and drink, and perhaps a sweet treat from the likes of Shari's Berries to get this party started, and you may even get gifts from your friends and family!
Another way to celebrate moving into your new home is to simply do something commemorative during the decoration process. For example, you can paint a mural on one of your walls to mark the occasion. Or, you could hang a framed photo of your first day living in your new home. Any number of small touches and elevate this special occasion to new heights, so be creative.
Lastly, you could start a book club with friends and family. Having your new home be the meeting place for a group of like minded individuals is a great ways to make your home as important as you already feel that it is. It doesn't have to be a book club, either. You could host a weekly movie or game night for friends and family to a similar effect. Anything is possible now!

1.0.0.1 Warning: This is the JIO SCAM DO not fall for it.
Jio has set a benchmark for several firms in terms of providing economical services and product. Till date, jio set-top box, and its dth channels list is out for the public. Jio DTH channel list comprises of 1000+ tv channels including HD and SD channels.
People are eagerly waiting for the launch date of Jio DTH services and are very keen to know the DTH packs and their prices. We will notify you as soon as we get to know more about it.
Jio DTH uses Fiber technology to speed up channel quality and sound. Reliance Jio has recently launched Jio DTH Booking and since the day of its announcement, people have started looking for Jio DTH Channel List with Price details.
Warning: This is the JIO SCAM DO not fall for it.
Reliance Jio will offer a Set Top Box for TV when it launches ultra-high speed fibre-based broadband services — an offering that is expected to compete with DTH operators like Tata Sky. Market watchers have said this would pose as a "serious competition" to TV distributors on both the DTH and cable side, putting further pressure on falling average revenue per user.
Yesterday, while announcing its fibre-based broadband plans, Jio unveiled the 'Jio Giga router', that will power ultra-fast internet connection and offer wall to wall high-speed wifi coverage.
The second device 'Jio GigaTV' set-top box, when connected to large screen TV, will enable subscribers to watch over 600 TV channels, thousands of movies and millions of songs and other content, at any time.
Jio Giga Fiber broadband will come with a set top box for TV.
At the AGM, Jio said it aims to bring India among the top 5 global fixed line broadband players. Jio has already invested over 250,000 crores for creating state-of-the-art mobile and broadband connectivity, it said.
For any query comment below or send a mail to us.
Sure we will. We have information that Jio Fiber and DTH is starting from 1 Jan 2019 in 20 cities.
GOD TV is a very important channel for Christians. It is unfortunate that this important channel has not been included. Also Reliance BigTV used to offer "KBS World" a world famous South Korean family drama channel with English sub-titles. Wish you would introduce this important channel. Channels like KBS World and Zindagi would make all the difference.
Will watching Jiotv consume data allocated in the selected data plan?
i am also interested in jio home tv and wireless connection.

When I say, $("#content").load("LandingPage.jsp"); only the table border gets loaded and not the map or its content. Anyone has experienced this before?

Choice is about who gets to make the decision. The question of whether and when we bring a new life into the world. It is one of the most important decisions a woman can make. It is too big a decision for us to make for each other, especially for perfect strangers. It is unethical to ban abortion because doing so denies freedom of choice to women and forces the unwilling to bear the unwanted. If a woman is not allowed to have an abortion she is not only forced to continue the pregnancy to birth but also expected by society to support and look after the resulting child for many years to come, unless she can get someone else to do so.
Access to legal, professionally-performed abortions reduces maternal injury and death caused by unsafe, illegal abortions. Before abortion was legalized women would try to induce abortions by using coat hangers, knitting needles, or radiator flush, or by going to unsafe "back-alley" abortionists. In 1972, there were 39 maternal deaths from illegal abortions. By 1976, after Roe v. Wade had legalized abortion nationwide, this number dropped down to two. The World Health Organization estimated that unsafe abortions cause 68,000 maternal deaths worldwide each year, many of those in developing countries where safe and legal abortion services are difficult to access.
In 1973- 2017, over 60 million legal abortions are estimated to have been performed in the United States, which is an average of about 1.4 million abortions per year. About one in four US women will have an abortion before age 45. A woman's risk of dying from having an abortion is 0.6 in 100,000, while the risk of dying from giving birth is around 14 times higher (8.8 in 100,000). 14,000 women have abortions following rape or incest. The risk of death associated with childbirth is about 10 times as high as that associated with abortion.
Contraceptives are imperfect, and the people using them are too. The pill is 1960s technology, half a century old. For decades, women were told that the pill was 99 percent effective, and they blamed themselves when they got pregnant anyway, but that 99 percent is a "perfect use" statistic. In the real world people aren't perfect. One in eleven women relying on the pill get pregnant each year. For a couple relying on condoms, that's one in six.
IF YOU'RE AGAINST ABORTION DON'T GET ONE, but don't take that right away from other woman just because you think you can justify being pro life with the argument that women can carry a baby to term and "put the child up for adoption." That argument is simply absurd due to that fact that there are nearly 443,000 children in foster care in the United States. In 2017, more than 690,000 children spent time in U.S. foster care. You put these unwanted children into the foster with the possibility of them being put with a family that could abuse them, molest them, rape them or even worse. Or they sit in the foster care system until they age out, turn 18 and are homeless, jobless and have nobody. All because people think they have the right to tell a woman what she can and can't do with her body.

Diane Mengali, author of The Quicksand of Agoraphobia: A memoir of panic disorder, lives in Davis, California. She graduated from the University of California, Davis, with a B.A. in English, and taught English at St. Francis high school in Sacramento for one year. From 1968 to the mid-1970s, she and her husband owned and operated Mengali's Florist in downtown Davis. After her divorce, Diane continued to operate the Davis store until 2009. Diane is an artist, and her work has appeared in many art shows in Northern California. Diane is a member of the local branch of NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
About The Quicksand of Agoraphobia
Diane Mengali grew up in Northern California in the 1950s, when family dysfunction was cloaked in denial. On the outside, her family appeared functional and successful, but the part hidden from view was her mother's depression, alcoholism, and suicidal tendencies, and her father's intolerant attitude and infidelity. As a child, Diane internalized her mother's fear and insecurity and by age 10, she had become a chronic worrier.
Diane married Dave in 1966. She had her first panic attack in August of 1967. While disturbing, she saw it as an isolated event, not the life-altering siege it soon became. A world of confusion unfolded in 1975 when Diane met Ellen, a registered nurse. What began as a friendship, turned into an affair, forcing Diane to question her sexuality and to seek counseling. After much turmoil, Diane and Ellen moved in together. Her marriage to Dave ended in 1980.
In 1983, a psychiatrist diagnosed Diane with agoraphobia, a type of anxiety disorder in which one fears and avoids any situation that may cause panic and is usually accompanied by feelings of helplessness, shame, and being trapped. A few years later, she found a therapist who guided her through long-dormant painful emotions, introduced her to behavior modification and the life-saving practice of mindfulness.
Diane hopes her story will help people understand the torment and terror that people with panic disorder and agoraphobia face on a daily basis. Panic disorder need not be a life-altering, frightening struggle; it can be treated by an appropriate therapist.
The Quicksand of Agoraphobia: A memoir of panic disorder (Print ISBN: 978-0-9996471-0-3; ebook ISBN: 978-0-9996471-1-0) is available at Amazon in paperback and Amazon Kindle (worldwide), Barnes & Noble paperback and Barnes & Noble Nook, and at Apple iBooks. It also can be ordered by your local bookstore.

AICN reports on the "Harry Potter" movie and the rumored regional differences. Basically, the original book was called "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," but we Americans are dumb and don't like to buy books with words like "philosopher" on them. So they changed it to "Sorceror's Stone" and switched a few references in the text for the U.S. version. The movie will also go by the two different titles, but it will be the exact same film and use the word "philosopher" in the dialogue. Get it? Whew. As long as they get everything else right, I don't mind.

With a mix of emotions, I announce that my family is moving to CA in just a few short days. Read the full announcement on Medium.
I love TED Talks. An amazing things happen when you put smart people in a room together and let them share ideas. Those ideas create conversations, which leads to action and progress towards a better world. On March 7th, I will be in Vancouver to attend a similar event called FEAT ("Fascinating Expedition & Adventure Talks"). However, this event is narrowly focused on sharing stories from adventurers and inspiring others to embark on expeditions themselves.
How do you describe to others what you do? My recent career transition has led many acquaintances (and some family members) to ask, "so, what is it you do EXACTLY?" This ubiquitous cocktail party question, within a single sentence, determines whether the inquisitor is interested in continuing the conversation; or begins plotting their escape route out of the conversation.

Digital advertising has long since eclipsed legacy media and the disparity only continues to grow. A large part of this is the way that new, exciting possibilities for online marketing are always arising. In 2022, social media is going to be bigger than ever, and accordingly, it represents a key channel to connect to customers. However, each social media network has its own quirks and benefits to keep in mind as you grow your business' presence.
Facebook is the titan of social media, with close to three billion users as of the end of 2021. It has an incredible global reach that makes it an invaluable tool for online companies, eCommerce, and more. However, maintaining a good Facebook page is worthwhile for any sort of business.
Keeping a business page for a restaurant, law firm, or other local company can help people quickly find information about your company. People of all ages rely on Facebook to find addresses, phone numbers, and other information about businesses in their area, and you can even set up bots to handle customer inquiries through the website. Furthermore, making value posts on Facebook gives your company all sorts of opportunities to build relationships with the public.
Facebook is an all-around excellent platform that your business can use for all online marketing purposes. Its incomparable reach makes the platform suitable for brand building, advertising, and much more.
Where Facebook has unbeatable reach, Instagram's post engagement is incredible. Facebook engagement per post tends to hover around 0.10% or less. What this means is that if your page has 100,000 followers, you might typically expect 1,000 likes, comments, or reactions on each post. While Instagram is the less popular of the two networks, it has an orientation toward stories and visual content that lends it toward greater engagement. Average engagement runs as high as 0.83% on all posts, while carousel posts achieve 1.08% engagement on average.
These are incredible numbers that underpin the main value proposal that Instagram offers to businesses. While you can use Instagram for customer service and other ends, it excels at engaging followers and building the presence of your brand. While Facebook is suited towards informational content, Instagram is an outstanding choice for stories that resonate with people. Behind-the-scenes looks into what your business is like, introductions to employees, and product spotlights are all suitable for Instagram.
LinkedIn is a natural choice for any business. There are more than 30 million companies that use the network, and it provides rich opportunities for meaningful network-building. It can help you connect to your next great new hire, but the usefulness of LinkedIn isn't limited to helping others find you. Rather, you can also connect to the top experts and talent around the world and form B2B connections. These can create possibilities for cooperation, promotions, and all sorts of collaboration that weren't possible in the past.
It's also increasingly expected for businesses and individual professionals to operate a LinkedIn account. Having a professional, informative LinkedIn account helps build the credibility of your brand while making it easier for you to keep up on new trends and professional advances.
TikTok's role for businesses is similar to Instagram, except that it leans even more heavily into the fun, informal brand-building element of it. Humorous, light-hearted content has taken over the world in recent decades, and modern consumers want to feel entertained and connected with the companies they choose. Enjoyable, light-hearted content can help your business build a unique connection that 20th-century companies could only have dreamed of.
The unorthodox nature of using TikTok for business is another advantage. Seemingly every business has a Facebook account today, and Instagram is popular as well. However, TikTok's relatively pure entertainment orientation means that most companies haven't begun utilizing its potential yet. Besides the value of building connections with consumers, using TikTok for business in 2022 also gives you the competitive advantage of being ahead of the trend.
Honorable Mention: Alignable
Alignable is newer and smaller than the other networks we've mentioned, but it has a lot going for it that should lead you to consider it for your business. For one, it has a razor-sharp focus on small businesses. Rather than B2B connections being incidental as in LinkedIn, Alignable represents a community of seven million small businesses that focus on connecting with one another.
Much of the emphasis lays on building trusted business relationships, boosting referrals, and elevating brand visibility. By using Alignable, you can broaden your companies' reach and build relationships in your city, state, or even across the nation. The unique value proposal of Alignable makes it our honorable mention for 2022.
While it's ideal to have a strong presence on all of these social media platforms, that may not be suitable or practical for all businesses. You can learn more about leveraging social media, playing to your business' strengths, and keeping up with the latest marketing trends by following Today Creative.

Just this week Rolling Stone chose The Steelwells along with 15 other bands to compete for the cover of their mag. In addition, the winning band will be signed to a major label. This is a serious opportunity for the quintet that has been making harmonizing feel-good music since 2008.
Winding down their winter tour, The Steelwells performed at LA's Bootleg Theatre to an audience that wasn't nearly as large as it should have been. The group of acoustic, electric, & bass guitars, keys and drums is truly undiscovered as their set was short but their performance was warm-heartedly huge. Supported by an additional percussionist the band performed only six songs including four off their EP, Shallow On the Draft, and introduced a new song but damn me for missing the song title.
It's hard not to genuinely like these guys. One can easily tell that they are in their glory when performing in front of an audience. Between their smiles, 3-part harmonies and feel-good bearded (but not hipster!) tunes, these OC boys have stolen my heart. If any band deserves a break it's these kids! Five stars, give 'em five stars, people: Rate them to win @ Rolling Stone!

Modi government on GDP high must take care of pitfalls ahead of polls
By : Shashikant Sharma | Updated on: 04 Sep 2018, 12:17:45 AM
With general elections in the country less than a year away, there is a perceptible boost for the economy with official figures for the first quarter of 2018-19, indicating 8.2 per cent jump in the GDP growth, a considerable leg-up over the 7.6 per cent projected earlier and eight per cent forecast even by seemingly incorrigible optimists. The Central Statistics Office said that strong performance in manufacturing and consumer spending contributed to the growth.
Considering that manufacturing is a key indicator, there is cause for satisfaction and hope. This should, on the face of it, bolster the Narendra Modi government which has been coping with much badgering from the Opposition and from a section of the media. But the outlook for jobs continued to be lackluster, posing a threat to youth votes.
Coupled with a good monsoon and consequently an impressive crop harvest, this should, in the normal course, presage a good haul for the government which should lift the general climate of gloom. This comes after the dampener reflected in back-series data which made the economic record of the erstwhile UPA regime shine at least in the first term of the UPA rule from 2008.

The Indian Government changed the base year for GDP calculation from 2004-05 to 2011-12, by changing the goods and services in the basket to make it more current, in 2015. While this change was called for, there was criticism that the Modi government was window-dressing to suit its interests.
Yet, all said and done, the 8.2 performance in the financial year ending June 30 is a godsend for the NDA government, being the highest growth in two years and strongest since the first quarter of 2016. GDP at current prices in Q1 of 2018-19 is estimated at Rs 44.33 lakh crore, as against Rs 38.97 lakh crore in Q1 of 2017-18, showing a growth rate of 13.8 per cent which is impressive by any standards.
While the man in the street is oblivious of growth figures, there is the inevitable overall feel-good factor that translates into electoral success. The feel-good factor is tempered by inflation which saps it.
Sectors which registered growth of over 7 per cent included manufacturing, electricity, gas, water supply and other utility services, construction and public administration, defence and other services. The farm sector growth continued to be sluggish. Another area of concern has been the declining value of the rupee vis a vis the US dollar, besides the stagnation in exports.

The world's second-largest economy, China, reported a 6.7 per cent growth for June quarter compared with 6.8 per cent in March quarter. India's $2.6 trillion economy surpassed France's in 2017 to be the world's sixth largest, and it was not far before the United Kingdom, according to the World Bank data.
The services sector like manufacturing was on the rebound. Bank loan disbursals are growing while auto sales—a barometer of overall demand—are expanding at double-digits.
Overall, the GDP growth is expected to recover to 7.2 per cent in fiscal 2019 from 6.7 per cent in fiscal 2018, below the Reserve Bank of India's forecast of 7.4 per cent. If this improves as the first quarter data has shown, it would be a further boost to BJP's prospects.
After a dip in March, foreign direct investments picked up the pace in April and May. But considering the usual sops in an election year and a creeping policy paralysis, inflows could slow in the coming months.

The Opposition in Parliament would have to do something extraordinary to wrest power from the BJP in the 2019 elections. The reputation of corruption and misuse of office that the Congress has assumed notoriety for would be great liabilities. Genuine Opposition unity could, however, play the spoiler for the BJP in the upcoming polls.

I went out to Sally's yesterday, just like I promised, and picked up 4 polishes from the Hunger Games collection, but there was so many sales on, I couldn't resist picking up more! I got two Magnetix polishes and China Glaze Flying Dragon. I'll be swatching the Hunger Games polishes this weekend, so look forward to that!
For now, I present you with my nails of the day! (Or past few days at least). It's Essie Chinchilly, a creme taupey grey with white Konad stamped zebra print on top. It's gotten me quite a few compliments at work already today!


In the Warsaw Chamber Opera on 26th November 2016 took place the 6th edition of the Gala of the Mazowsze Women of Success 2016 organized under the patronage of the Deputy Marshal of the Senate Maria Koc, Marshal of the Mazowieckie Voivodship Adam Struzik and the International Forum for Women. The main laureate elected this year was Magdalena Daniel from Siedlce – pediatric surgeon, chief surgeon of the Pediatric surgery and Traumatology Clinic in Siedlce. For several years the Women of Success have been awarding also a man whom they admire for a passion for life and creativity. This year this special distinction was awarded to Prof. Henryk Skarżyński.
In the Laudation prepared by the Women of Success we can read the reasons why they admire Prof. Henryk Skarżyński: "He is a world famous ear surgeon, expert in otorhinolaryngology, audiology and phoniatrics, the first surgeon in Poland who performed cochlear implantation (in 1992), brainstem (in 1998) and middle ear (in 2003). In 2002 he developed the first in the world program of treatment of partial deafness in adults and implanted the first patient with partial deafness, and in 2004 implanted the first child with partial deafness. He is the author and co-author of over 2500 Polish and international scientific publications. He is conducting wide-scale teaching activities for students and physicians from Poland and abroad. He is the owner of 14 patents, author of the so-called 'Skarżyński method' in surgery, for which he had developed a new electrode and clinical procedure and which had been implemented in many centers around the world (…)".
Prof. Skarżyński, thanking for the distinction, had underlined the special role of women cooperating with him: – I owe my success to the more than 300 women who work with me. I thank them most heartily. Also among the 200 thousand patients whom I had operated, the decisive majority were female patients. Thank you very much for this award and I will be happy to repeat all kind words spoken here to my collaborators.
The originator and organizer of the Choices of Women of Success is Ewa Domaradzka-Ziarek – for many years a journalist of the Radio Olsztyn. Her series of radio interviews with the exceptional women gave rise to the initiative of presenting their achievements during the Gala of the Women of Success. With time, in this select group had been included also the worthy and reputable men.
Among the men distinguished in the previous year there were: Emilian Kamiński, actor, founder of the Teatr Kamienica, who is actively working for people with disabilities; dr. Ludwik Sobolewski, former president of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, for promoting women participation in the boards of companies listed on the stock exchange; Piotr Pacewicz, journalist of Gazeta Wyborcza, initiator of the action 'To give birth in humane conditions' ("Rodzić po ludzku") and dr. Tadeusz Witwicki, surgeon, expert in the reconstructive surgery performing breast reconstructions after mastectomy. The Women in Warmia and Mazury had also given their awards to Mamed Chalidow, Krzysztof Hołowczyc, Przemysław Saleta, Ryszard Rynkowski, and in Silesia to Prof. Jerzy Buzek and Prof. Andrzej Bochenek – heart surgeon.

Private equity applauds tax bill
Illustration: Sam Jayne / Axios
Private equity's top lobbying group, The American Investment Council, is saying that it supports the federal tax bill that Congress is expected to pass on Tuesday.
Bottom line: It's a bit of a mixed bag for private equity, but the positives easily outweigh the negatives.
The positives for private equity include:
Lowering the corporate rate to 21%.
Lowering the top individual rate from 39.6% to 37%.
Continuing to treat carried interest as a capital gain, rather than at higher ordinary income rates (here's a primer on carried interest). The minimum hold time to qualify for this treatment was expanded from one year to three years, but that's more aimed at certain hedge fund managers, as private equity typically holds more than three years.
Had carried interest been touched, then some firms may have tried restructuring investment income to qualify for pass-through rates, so this saves them the trouble.
The main negative for private equity is that companies only will be allowed to deduct corporate interest on up to 30% of EBITDA for the first four years, and then 30% of EBIT afterwards. This is a change from the current 100% deductibility of interest, which could lower returns for private equity firms that rely heavily on the use of leveraged financing.
Expect private equity to spend the next four years trying to make sure the EBITDA link remains in place, as it is would be more beneficial to the industry.
Here is the American Investment Council's statement:
"American Investment Council commends Congress for this pro-growth, comprehensive tax bill. After decades without major reform, any tax legislation will inevitably require some trade-offs from all sectors of the business community. While the effects of the bill on private equity are mixed, we believe the final tax bill encourages business expansion and investment and will improve the environment for investing in the United States. On balance, the tax bill represents a net positive for private equity and will enable the industry to continue to make long-term investments that will grow the economy."


In geography, the antipode (/ænˈtɪpədiː/) of any spot on Earth is the point on Earth's surface diametrically opposite to it; the antipodes of a region similarly represent the area opposite it.[note 1] A pair of points antipodal (/ænˈtɪpədəl/) to each other are situated such that a straight line connecting the two would pass through Earth's center. Such points are as far away from each other as possible, a great-circle distance of 10,800 nautical miles (20,000 km).


At the Barn-K this year, some ran on the road and some sloshed along the shoulder.
Despite soggy conditions brought on by a weekend of steady rain, more than 100 college students, high school visitors, and other guests came out for the final meeting of Erskine's Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) Sunday, May 5, which began with the second annual "Barn-K" fitness event.
"We had 150 signed up to participate in the Barn-K this year, but the two inches of rain left us with 86 participants—walkers, joggers, runners," Patrick said. Attendees who did not enter the Barn-K brought the numbers up for "a full Barn of 100-plus," he added.
A highlight of the meeting was the presentation of a check to Ann Brice of Camp Joy that will enable a young man to attend the Christian special-needs camp at Bonclarken for the first time.
"Through selling boiled peanuts at the Due West Fall Festival and at the RUF BBQ and Hymn Sing and through donors for the Barn-K, we raised $1,000 for Warren Sullivan to be able to attend Camp Joy," Patrick said.
Warren Sullivan, center, makes a point as Ann Brice, right, and Paul Patrick listen.
Sullivan was on hand for the presentation, and special music for the meeting, "Jesus Loves Me" and "His Name is Wonderful," was led by Marian Ann Blanton, with her mother serving as pianist.
A visiting high school youth group from Greenwood Presbyterian Church ran in the Barn-K, Patrick said, as did some parents.
Erskine students have been gathering at "The Barn," located on the property where Patrick lives with his wife Marie and their four children, for supper, singing and Bible study since 2003.

Q: Getting textbox input in an SQLite database worked. But the second column doesn't work. How to fix this? (System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox) I'm working on a school project where people can test their own knowledge by typing words in the left column and typing their translation in the right column. This data has to be saved in a SQLite database.
So for example, a user types in the left textbox the word: hello and in the right textbox: bonjour (which is French for hello). Then I want to save the data into a SQLite database like this:
id: 1
word: hello
translation: bonjour

I managed to got it working with the following script:
string veld1 = txtVeld1.Text;
string veld1v2 = txtVeld1v2.Text;
string veld2 = txtVeld2.Text;
string veld2v2 = txtVeld2v2.Text;
string veld3 = txtVeld3.Text;
string veld3v2 = txtVeld3v2.Text;
string veld4 = txtVeld4.Text;
string veld4v2 = txtVeld4v2.Text;
string veld5 = txtVeld5.Text;
string veld5v2 = txtVeld5v2.Text;
string veld6 = txtVeld6.Text;
string veld6v2 = txtVeld6v2.Text;
conn.Open();

cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@veld1", veld1);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@veld1v2", txtVeld1v2);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@veld2", veld2);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@veld2v2", txtVeld2v2);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@veld3", veld3);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@veld3v2", txtVeld3v2);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@veld4", veld4);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@veld4v2", txtVeld4v2);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@veld5", veld5);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@veld5v2", txtVeld5v2);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@veld6", veld6);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@veld6v2", txtVeld6v2);
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO tboverhoren (woord, vertaling) SELECT @veld1 , @veld1v2 UNION ALL SELECT @veld2 , @veld2v2 UNION ALL SELECT @veld3 , @veld3v2 UNION ALL SELECT @veld4 , @veld4v2 UNION ALL SELECT @veld5 , @veld5v2 UNION ALL SELECT @veld6 , @veld6v2";

(I'm using the UNION ALL SELECT statement because I want to insert multiple rows at once)
But unfortunately only the first column does get the input from the textboxes. The second column only gets: "System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox" as data.

What am I doing wrong? I searched STACK overflow but only found that I have to declare the Textbox.Text function, which I did and worked with the first column. Other solutions I found didn't work with SQLite...
I really apreciate your help!
Kind regards,
Elias Groot

A: You already extract the strings from the textboxes by accessing the Text property, for example:
string veld1v2 = txtVeld1v2.Text;

But then when you're actually them, you pass the textbox itself, rather than using the declared variable:
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@veld1v2", txtVeld1v2);

The data framework sees that the textbox is not a type it understands, so calls ToString() on it, which by default returns the type name, which is why you see it in the database.
All you need to do is change those lines to use the variables:
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@veld1v2", veld1v2); // etc


A little confession about us, is that we both have a large sweet tooth, Alex a little more than myself. While down in San Diego, we stopped by a gourmet dessert restaurant called Extraordinary Desserts. The place was packed with people waiting to be seated so they could enjoy their famous desserts. While waiting, you're able to browse the display cases of beautifully presented, extraordinarily delicious, desserts.
Use the sheet of paper provided to note your top 3 choices. Done incase your top 1 or 2 dessert choices run out by the time you are seated (just to give you an idea of how delicious they really are.) The waiter/waitress will bring you your top choice from this list, based on availability. Not only does Extraordinary have a wide variety of scrumptious sweets, but also an extensive list of tea's, alcoholic beverages, soups/salads/snacks & sandwiches.
We ordered the Flourless Chocolate Cake, along with the Birthday Cake Tea. The desserts are definitely big enough to share, but if you're at all like me, you don't share your desserts either. Next time you're in the Downtown SD area, make sure to stop by Little Italy and try Extraordinary Desserts. You will definitely be impressed. Eat up & pinky out!
