Greg and I got married in a rather untraditional way. We invited our parents and siblings and just went to the courthouse for a 4.5 minute ceremony. We literally just scheduled it with an available judge, got there on the day of...walked around the outside of the courthouse, picked a spot, and said okay this is good. Lol And that's where our ceremony was. Now, as simple as that was...we still wanted to look the part.
In the December 2009 J.Crew Style Guide, they released a new wedding gown: The Lucinda Ball Gown. (I actually called J.Crew Wedding the other day to verify the dress release date, and they were very helpful.) As soon as I saw the gown, I knew that I would one day get to married to my, yet to be determined, husband in it. I was IN LOVE with it. I just knew it was my dress. Keep in mind that in December 2009, I was a freshman at Purdue and was not even in the realm of thinking about marriage. But it reminded me of wearing a down comforter or something. I loved the way the material looked in the catalog. It was very simple and elegant, and it had pockets which was what sealed the deal to me.
Fast forward 6 years to Greg and I deciding to get married. As soon as the date was decided, I started my search for the Lucinda. J.Crew was no longer selling it so I had some digging to do. Also, I had never actually seen the dress in person, nor tried on any kind of wedding dress by J.Crew or anyone...but regardless, my mind was made up. I was going to find it. That's where Tradesy comes in. They had several used or NWT J.Crew gowns available and I found a NWT Lucinda gown in a size 6. The girl that had it, bought it and then decided to go with a different dress. So I figured size 6 would work and I could get it altered. She was selling the dress for $1000, which is a steal compared to what the dress cost originally, but it was non-refundable... so I was gambling but I had to do it.
The dress came in...Greg helped me try it on and by some miracle it was exactly like I imagined it would be and it fit perfectly!!! I don't even know how this is possible, but it is. I was over the moon. I bought J.Crew Elsie Satin pumps here to go with it and I was set for our day! Greg bought a J.Crew Ludlow suit here (in blue) and tie here and I think we were both extremely happy with our wedding looks!
Apart from the ceremony, we still wanted to have a gathering with friends and family so later that evening we hosted a private dinner at a local steakhouse for 40 of our closest friends and family. We had our own room. I got flowers for the tables, made menus and placecards on Vistaprint, and my mom got us a cupcake tower from Gigi's Cupcakes, which was awesome. I love cupcakes so much. It was perfect, everyone was there...we actually got to talk to people, and the food was stellar.
Now you have the run down on our wedding day festivities. The only regret that I had was that we didn't take enough pictures in our attire. We were mainly just enjoying the day and wanted to spend time with the people who came into town, so my sister shot some photos of us, but not that many. Photos just weren't our highest priority that day...enjoying the moment was. All that being said, I get a little crazy when I feel like moments aren't documented properly. And this was obviously a huge moment/day for us. That's where Lauren, from Lauren Koleff Photography, comes in. She took our engagement photos for us and they were so amazing! You can find them here. I decided for our first anniversary that I wanted to get new pictures in our wedding attire. Greg was not really wanting to do it, but I think once he realized how important it was to me, he got on board.
I am so pleased with how they turned out! They are exactly what I wanted and what I was picturing in my head. We went to Prophetstown State Park in Lafayette and actually didn't even end up going inside the park. There were so many perfect places just driving up to the entrance. I'm SO HAPPY that we decided to do this. Lauren does such an amazing job and she's so fun to work with. These pictures are amazing!!! It was hard to even narrow it down to this many. I don't know how she does it. We took all of these (and so many more) in under 2 hours. It was humid so my hair fell immediately but oh well. I had the last minute idea of doing a flower crown. I went to a Rubia Flower Market and just showed them a picture of something similar and it turned out so great. I felt so pretty in my flower crown and it was an extra dose of floral pop for the pictures. I hope you guys enjoy these pictures!!!

"Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."—Isaiah 40:30–31 (NIV)
I think we can all agree that 2020 has been one of the most challenging years on record. Between the COVID-19 pandemic, the national protests over racial injustice, the loss of lives and property amid natural disasters, and a tumultuous political season, it felt at times as if the year would never end.
But here we are at the cusp of a new year, wondering what 2021 will hold for us personally and collectively as a church and as a nation. If we're honest, many of us have grown weary from all that we've experienced during the past 365 days—maybe even driven to depression or despair. So, when we read a verse like today's passage in Isaiah, it makes us stop and think about how this promise applies to us.
Years ago, I used to misinterpret today's verse, naively thinking if I'm really a good Christian, I'll never get tired or grow weary in doing good. But that's not what the prophet Isaiah is really saying.
First of all, Isaiah points out that even young people, who typically have loads of energy and enthusiasm, will eventually tire out and stumble during the course of life's trials. The very next part of the verse says, "but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength" (emphasis added). What does this imply? Well, if our strength needs to be replenished that means there will be times when we'll be depleted of it.
But here's the hope: When we turn our eyes heavenward toward Jesus, God promises to restore our strength so we can soar on the wind of the Spirit like eagles. It's a kind of supernatural provision we can count on when we feel powerless. It's what the apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) when he said, "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
If you're a Christian—someone who puts their hope in the Lord—and you feel tired and weary today, lift your eyes to the One who promises to give you His strength in exchange for your weakness. And keep running the race; keep fighting the good fight and be confident "that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1:6 NIV).
PAUSE: Take a moment to conduct an honest self-assessment. How are you feeling as the year draws to a close? Are you leaning more towards hopefulness or weariness?
PRACTICE: Read Matthew 11:28–30 (NIV) and invite Jesus to give you both rest and renewed strength for the days and year ahead.
PRAY: Father, thank You for promising to renew my strength as I put my hope in You for whatever lays ahead this next year. Fill me afresh with Your Spirit, so I can walk in Your strength and soar above any difficult circumstances I may face. In Jesus' name, amen."

France's Military Jet Forced To Land In Zimbabwe, As ISIS War Rages On
A French military plane was forced to land at Masvingo airport after a suspected engine failure. According to sources, the plane was headed for Lusaka and was scheduled to stop for refueling in Harare.
The sources said one of the engines developed a fault and as a precautionary measure, the plane landed in Masvingo at around 5.pm on Saturday.
Contacted for comment, the Air Force of Zimbabwe declined to comment and referred all questions to the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ).
Attempts to get a comment from CAAZ were fruitless as the Public Relations Manager, Mrs Anna Hungwe referred all questions to the General Manager, Mr David Chawota.
Mr Chawota said he was on the highway and would comment later. The plane has since left Masvingo Airport after engineers attended to the fault.
Meanwhile, in the wake of the Paris massacre, French President Francois Hollande has vowed to destroy ISIS – whose militants had murdered 130 in a matter of hours on a Friday night.
The fighter jets lined up along the deck of the warship Charles de Gaullle – currently bearing down on Syria – are proof these were not just empty promises.
The aircraft carrier is taking up its position in the eastern Mediterranean, from where it will launch bombing raids on ISIS targets in Syria.
Hollande's vow is now supported by the UN, after the Security Council unanimously agreed to take 'all necessary measures' to defeat ISIS in a resolution which states that the barbaric group 'constitutes a global and unprecedented threat to international peace and security'.
The resolution, which was drafted by France, condemns the 'horrifying terrorist attacks' in Paris, as well as atrocities committed by ISIS in Tunisia, Turkey, Lebanon and the downing of a Russian passenger plane over Egypt.
Russia has already escalated its own action in Syria, in retaliation for the murder of 224 of the people onboard the airliner in October.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday it carried out more than 300 separate strikes on key targets – including its headquarters in Raqqa, factories producing munitions and oil fields.

I owned Microsoft for a brief period at the beginning of 2009 with the stock in the teens. I remeber listening in on a conference call where Steve Ballmer said that he wants to preserve cash for opportunities and not buy back stock, even though Microsoft had 10's of billions of cash on their balance sheet. The stock went as low as $15 and Steve Ballmer preserved his cash. This quarter when the stock averaged about $28 Microsoft spent nearly $4 billion on buybacks.
I'm not saying that the stock is not worth $28 because I actually think the current price is reasonable. But why does he think its a buy now and it wasn't at nearly half the price? The skills necessary to operate a company and manage money are completely different. But CEOs are given the power to do both.
This is not the first time Ballmer refused to buy at lower prices than later decided to buy at higher prices.
They almost all do this. They're good indicators to fade.

BUCHAREST, Romania: The U.S. Embassy in Romania says almost 4 tons of cocaine in containers bound for Romania were seized in the Brazilian port city of Paranagua.
A statement from the U.S. Embassy in Bucharest says the cocaine was concealed in a wood shipment.
The statement released Monday says the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency worked together with Brazil's federal police on the operation leading to the drug seizure on Feb. 5.
It says Romanian authorities provided intelligence after Romanian police discovered 1.2 tons of cocaine on a vessel moored in a Black Sea port and arrested four people. The containers with drugs had come from Paranagua and were registered as a timber shipment.

"I do remember that my dress cost £22" Wedding experts Brendan and Mai Manning recall their own big day
"If you look closely at our wedding photograph, notice who the umbrella is keeping dry, Brendan covered himself and I was left in the rain!"
Marguerite KielyArt director
Brendan and Mai Manning know a thing or two about weddings. As wedding entertainment specialists the pair have been helping to make couples big day magical for 30 years.
Their latest venture, The Wedding Experience Expo, which takes place on the 16th & 17th February at the Clayton Hotel Silver Springs, Cork, draws on three decades of experience and expertise in the industry. Billed as a 'wedding fair like no other' couples have the option of booking their entire wedding at the expo, which will be music to the ears of time-poor brides and grooms to be.
The husband and wife team, who own Occasions Event Management in Cork, were just sixteen and eighteen when cupid's arrow struck and they wed 4 years later. They have been married for 40 years and like many others who have been together for decades, their memories how their love story unfolded differ, depending on who you talk to!
"We met when I was on a tour in Killarney," says Mai.
"Did we not meet in the Old Oak pub in Cork first?" queries Brendan.
Brendan decided to propose to Mai outside a church, but had a trick up his sleeve. "We had bought a this lovely three-stone antique ring so I knew it was going to happen at some point, " explains Mai.
"Brendan went down on one knee outside the Assumption church and opened a red-heart box I was expecting to see my ring but when I looked down I thought 'that's not what I remember'. He had just swapped it out for a plastic-type of ring! He thought it was very funny but my actual ring emerged not long after" adds Mai.
While the cost of an average wedding dress in Ireland is now €2,000, Mai's was considerably less than that coming in under 30 quid. "I don't remember the cost of the wedding but I do remember that my dress cost £22," Mai reveals. " Munster Arcade was about to be closed down, they were clearing everything out and this dress just happened to be there, I liked it and it did me fine. The tail of the dress was made into a christening gown for our three kids afterward."
And what was the most memorable thing about their big day? "The rain!" says Brendan.
"There was a thunderstorm on the 11th of August. The car that I was meant to be leaving the hotel in broke down because water got into it, so we had to get a taxi," he says.
It seems the car wasn't the only thing to get wet on the day either. "If you look closely at our wedding photograph, notice who the umbrella is keeping dry, Brendan covered himself and I was left in the rain!" laughs Mai.
Having been involved with the wedding industry for thirty years the couple have since a lot of change in that time. Mai cautions of relying heavily on social media apps when planning a wedding. "Pinterest is the best and worst thing that ever happened in terms of weddings. You look at the pictures and there's are fabulous ideas that will work brilliantly for one item but when it comes to a wedding that might need to be replicated 20 or 30 times on a very important day with a tight timespan. You need help doing all of this."
Brendan and Mai's daughter, Alex, is a wedding planner, so they have seen firsthand the benefit they can bring to a bride-to-be. "Couples are beginning to use wedding planners more. You can have a planner throughout the process or you can hire them the week before the wedding where they check on the suppliers, are there for the rehearsal and on the day itself. That makes a lot of sense. When it comes down to the wire you can take a break and actually enjoy the day."
Rosie Connolly announced for The Wedding Experience Expo
Brendan also has some advice about where a couple should invest their money on the big day. "Nice food and entertainment are the areas where people should splash out because it's a long day for people. It doesn't have to be traditional entertainment either but you'll want to keep your guests happy throughout the day."
And for those with a big day to plan, The Wedding Expo plans to take the stress out of organising the whole event. "It can be easy to get overwhelmed and consumed by a wedding, what we are trying to do is to make it simple for couples," Brendan says. "We've built our expo around 100 exhibitors that we have picked ourselves and are great to work with.
"Every category is grouped together making it very easy. So the bride can say 'Now I want to look at flowers' and all the flower exhibitors are there for her in one area."

What can be people expect on the day? "It's going to be a lot of fun with entertainment throughout the weekend. Someone we are really excited about it that we will have top blogger Rosie Connolly in attendance, giving all her top tips and advice for how to create your dream wedding" Brendan says.
"There will be a fashion show, beauty rooms, a 'money matters' area and to keep the boys happy we have a groom's room too! One lucky attendee will also win €1,500 towards a wedding dress designed by Tamen Michael."
The Wedding Experience Expo takes place on the 16th & 17th February 2019, Clayton Hotel Silver Springs, Cork

Mussels are delicious seafood. Moules Marinière, Mosselen met Look, Mussels in Beer, Mussels with Piri Piri and Mussels with Anise, served with crusted bread, with French Fries or just a glass of wine, as a starter or for lunch: mussels are great to combine. And did we mention delicious?
Clean the mussels thoroughly. It takes a few minutes but it is essential for the quality of the sauce. Simply scrape of all the nasty bits.
In case the sauce will be all over the mussels, then make sure they are really clean.

Breath test for cancer being trialled in UK
If the trial is successful it is hoped cancers will be spotted earlier, saving lives and money for the health service.
Thursday 3 January 2019 02:40, UK
Image: The Breath Biopsy device has been developed by Owlstone Medical
Cancer could be diagnosed with a breathalyser test in future, scientists have revealed.
The Breath Biopsy device is being trialled in the UK and is designed to detect cancer signs in molecules exhaled by patients.
If the trial is successful, it is hoped cancers will be spotted earlier when they are more likely to be treatable, saving lives and money for the health service.
The first patients trialling the device are those with suspected oesophageal and stomach cancers at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
The hospital is recruiting 1,500 people for the two-year trial. Some will be healthy and others will be cancer patients.
It will later be extended to include those suspected to have prostate, kidney, bladder, liver and pancreatic cancers.
Force leaders to debate on TV
More than 130,000 people have signed the petition - have you?
The airborne molecules collected in the test will be analysed in Cambridge and, if the device is proved to be accurate and reliable, it could become a common diagnostic tool for GPs.

Billy Boyle, co-founder and chief executive of British company Owlstone Medical, which is behind the device, said: "The concept of providing a whole-body snapshot in a completely non-invasive way is very powerful and could reduce harm by sparing patients from more invasive tests they don't need."
Lead investigator Professor Rebecca Fitzgerald, from the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Centre, said: "We urgently need to develop new tools, like this breath test, which could help to detect and diagnose cancer earlier, giving patients the best chance of surviving their disease.
"Through this clinical trial we hope to find signatures in breath needed to detect cancers earlier. It's the crucial next step in developing this technology."
Image: Diagnosing cancer could become a lot easier if the trial is successful
Almost half of cancers are diagnosed at a late stage in England, according to government figures, and this is one of the main reasons why only 12% of oesophageal cancer patients survive as long as 10 years, for example.
Dr David Crosby, head of early detection research at Cancer Research UK, said: "Technologies such as this breath test have the potential to revolutionise the way we detect and diagnose cancer in the future."

Textual Borrowings, Theological Mobility, and the Lollard Pater Noster Commentary
By Lewis, Anna
The ways in which Lollards made use of existing orthodox materials such as biblical commentaries and manuals of religious instruction is a subject that merits further investigation. Recent studies by Shannon McSheffrey, Matti Peikola, Fiona Somerset, and Kevin Gustafson, among others, demonstrate how an examination of the sometimes very close connections among orthodox texts, Lollard writings, manuscripts, and readers can clarify our understanding of how Lollardy viewed both itself and contemporary religious culture. (1) Lollard concern with instruction in scripturally based fundamentals of the faith meant that existing materials, which were "well translated ... with good declaration [exposition];' were incorporated into Wycliffite anthologies. (2) McSheffrey suggests that by the end of the fifteenth century such orthodox works made up the bulk of Lollard reading. As she points out, these works effectively became "Lollard" not because of their content but because of the ways in which they were read (as a means of gaining "direct knowledge of the scriptures ... without clerical mediation") and understood (as supportive of Lollard views). (3) a Gustafson also highlights the role of readers' attitudes to texts, rather than the inclusion of identifiably heretical content within texts, in the creation of"Lollard" literature: "dissent could be fostered as old [and orthodox] texts were read through the eyes of a new theology." (4) That being said, Lollards evidently did choose to adapt the content of some orthodox works, changing words, or adding and extending commentary. While we have reason to believe that this policy was not as widespread as once thought, examples of such adaptation are found among texts relating to the basic articles of the faith (the Ave, the Creed, the Ten Commandments), the kind of literature that in other contexts Lollards accepted and used. (5) Changes made to these texts were presumably designed to "correct" them in the light of Lollard doctrine or turn them into vehicles for Lollard teaching, perhaps as part of a greater framework of Wycliffite instruction such as that posited by Peikola. Peikola argues that Lollards produced and disseminated "alternative vernacular interpretations of the rudiments of the faith" as part of a "Wycliffite 'programme' for catechetical instruction" designed to "compete with existing orthodox expositions." (6) In contrast with the Lollardy McSheffrey describes (residing "more in intention than in doctrine, more in contests about authority than in the minutiae of belief"), Peikola sees a movement that carried out its contest with orthodoxy at the level of the "lexical minutiae of... the most elementary items of faith" such items being "carefully scrutinized and if necessary modified." (7) While Peikola's view may require some qualification (as I suggest below), the evidence of texts and manuscripts is that different Lollards at different times could both accept and look to benefit from existing orthodox material, and alter and "correct" such material.
Lollard commentaries on the Pater Noster comprise one group of texts that reflect this dual use of orthodox material. There are three so-called "Lollard" commentaries on the Pater Noster, all ascribed by their Victorian editors to Wyclif himself; two of these (one shorter, one longer) were edited by Thomas Arnold in his selection of English works by Wyclif and are identified below as Arnold 1 and Arnold 2. The third appears in E D. Matthew's edition of tracts by Wyclif. (8) Neither of the two shorter commentaries (Arnold 1 and Matthew) contains any Lollard comment, but they appear in Wycliffite compilations where they were, presumably, read in accordance with a Lollard perspective. (9) The longest of the commentaries, Arnold 2, combines radically Lollard complaints with all the familiar ingredients of Pater Noster expositions and therefore might seem to fit in with that clearly "alternative" "catechetical programme" that Peikola describes. …

The 10 Largest IPOs of 2014
1. Alibaba
2. Lending Club
3. King Digital Entertainment
4. GoPro
5. Virgin America
6. OnDeck Capital
7. GrubHub
8. Coupons.com
9. Zendesk
10. Truecar
This year's most extensive public offerings incorporate lots of companies, in addition to Alibaba, the largest IPO ever.
It ends up 2014 was a banner year for initial public offerings.
Although companies that went public, especially those from the technology industry, faced a substantial cooling starting at the spring, putting the kibosh on plans to go public with several promising companies like cloud storage startups Box and Dropbox, online website registrar Godaddy, along with the streaming audio startup Spotify, the average yield for IPOs this season was nonetheless 16 percent, according to Renaissance Capital, an IPO adviser and researcher.
While that's a bit lower than the 41% logged in 2013, double-digit expansion is not something to sneeze at. Additionally, there were 273 IPOs this season. According to Renaissance, the public markets had not seen so much action since–you guessed it–2000 when 400 companies debuted.
And we are pleased to state that over a couple of companies with IPOs this year hail. Names comprise, online discounter Coupons.com, higher definition camera manufacturer GoPro, other lenders Lending Club and OnDeck Capital, and vehicle pricing and purchasing portal site Truecar, which numbered among them. We all know a fantastic thing once we spot this, and we are anticipating 2015 to brighter for companies using introduction plans.
For now though, Here Is a look at this year's 10 largest IPOs:
Funding out of IPO: $22 billion
Offering Cost: $68
Opening Share Price: $92.70
Current Share Price: $108
Entrepreneur Jack Ma founded the online market –explained by some as a portion Amazon, part eBay–at his flat in 1995. It's the largest Internet company in China, with some 500 million active users. Alibaba also had the year's biggest IPO, putting records by earning $22 billion to the business. Questions linger about its distinctive ownership structure, which provides Jack Ma and the Chinese authorities substantial and somewhat cloudy control. That could cause difficulties for investors later on.
Funding out of IPO: $870 million
Offering Cost:$15
Opening Share Price:$23.43
Current Share Price: $26.94
Proving that 2014 is also the year of the choice fund, Lending Club, the peer-reviewed lending market, hauled in almost a thousand dollars by tapping public markets. Launched in 2007 from Renaud Laplanche, Lending Club initially let peers deliver low-cost funding to their peers. Still, it has since ventured into a version that allows institutional investors to do precisely the identical thing.
Funding from IPO: $500 million
Offering Price: $22.50
Every huge IPO year wants a major clunker too. King, the Chocolate Crush Saga match for mobile phones reveals the risks of becoming a one-hit-wonder. The vibrant game between candied fruit pieces provides 80% of their organization's earnings, and it has had a difficult time convincing investors it is capable of branching out. However, it did rake half a billion dollars by its offering.
Opening Share Price: $31
Charismatic leader executive Nick Woodman began GoPro in 2002 because he wanted a system that didn't exist on the marketplace at the time — a high speed, a higher-definition camera that was highly mobile. His eyesight succeeded, and GoPros could be seen everywhere now. Investors certainly love it, maybe because it generates high tech components, a standout in a year differently packaged with technology solutions and applications.
Even though Richard Branson's space mining company, Virgin Galactic, has acute problems coming from a wreck of a space ship that has been to have ferried customers to outside space for brief joy rides next season, Virgin America is a lot closer to ground. Branson's low-cost airline is much more than coasting along, nevertheless. Its share price is up since it is profiting from a sharp drop in oil rates. Branson's mythical dash and charm no uncertainty variable is also. He owns almost a quarter of the business.
Offering Price: $20
Much like Lending Club, OnDeck demonstrated a substantial market for alternative funding in small business loans, together with stocks jumped nearly 40% on its first day of trading. Contrary to Lending Club, OnDeck is financing loans through bank warehouse outlines and selling loans into the next industry. OnDeck intends to interrupt bank lending to entrepreneurs using innovative technologies to make decisions in seconds.
Current Share Price: 35.56
The cellular and online food ordering service, which joins diners with tens of thousands of takeout restaurants nationwide, really unites the companies of Chicago's GrubHub and New York's Seamless after a merger in 2013. At the moment, the two companies had declared programs for IPOs. GrubHub had a robust opening as a combined entity, with stocks climbing 50 percent from the gate, just to shut down about 17% at the end of the day. The inventory has shrunk around annually, trading as large as $45 in August, before easing down into its present level. Prospects continue to be decisive for GrubHub, which contributes from the online food ordering area.
The business has revolutionized the exhausted and, some might say moribund, the world of vouchers by transferring it on the internet and in the cell environment. Launched by Steven Boal in 1998, Coupons.com took no institutional cash until 2011. However, its share price took off for a month or two following the offering has since returned to more discounted rates.
Offering Price: $9
Combining the fray of startups focused on relieving fixed prices for different companies, Zendesk has helped revolutionize customer support and help desk capabilities, turning them into ad hoc services, available through the net. It was one of the top 10 best-performing IPOs this year, according to Renaissance Capital.
Funding from IPO: $70 million
Opening Share Price: $9.70
The provider provides pricing information about what other people have paid for new and used automobiles, besides managing private label, online automobile purchasing programs for USAA, AAA, and Overstock.com. Truecar went public in May since the atmosphere was coming from the technology marketplace. It didn't fail; however, with stocks rising 12 percent the first moment.

New language guidance to promote women's rights in Rohingya refugee camps
October 3, 2018 by TWB Communications
Updated glossary supports response with gender-focused language advice
DANBURY, Conn., USA – 3 October 2018. Translators without Borders (TWB), in collaboration with Oxfam International and CARE International, is launching new gender-focused language guidance for the Rohingya refugee crisis. This language support, which is provided in the TWB Glossary for Bangladesh app, gives refugees, aid workers, and interpreters a well-researched tool to communicate more effectively with Rohingya women.
The updated glossary includes over 200 terms related to critical topics such as gender-based violence (GBV), family planning, and women's health. The glossary provides text and audio translations for those terms in five languages — Rohingya, Bangla, Burmese, Chittagonian, and English. The app can be accessed on a computer, tablet, Android, or iOS device and is available both on- and offline, making it useful in the camps.
With support from the European Commission Humanitarian Aid Office (ECHO) and the Department for International Development (DFID), the three organizations worked together to identify the list of gender-focused terms needed to communicate effectively with the Rohingya community. TWB then conducted focus groups with Rohingya men and women, including refugees who had recently arrived and those who have lived in the camps for years. In the focus groups, TWB and the community agreed upon the best terms in each language to communicate specific gender-focused concepts.
There are many challenges associated with communicating with Rohingya women specifically. In response to a conservative culture, Rohingya women have developed a 'sociolect' in which certain words or pronunciations are not understood by the men of their community. Rohingya women use many euphemisms when discussing topics that are perceived to be sensitive or taboo, such as rape and menstruation. Concepts like sex, gender, intercourse, empowerment, and puberty can all be sources of linguistic confusion. Furthermore, many Rohingya women are illiterate, making language support for interpreters and community health and field workers of critical importance. Oxfam research has found that Rohingya women have been at greater risk of abuse and health problems than men.
It is crucial for humanitarians to understand and respect the words Rohingya women use to describe their experiences. The terms will help Rohingya women access services and understand their rights, and will support aid workers and interpreters as they communicate with the community, guiding them in speaking about sensitive issues.
"The humanitarian community needs to address the specific needs of women in this crisis," commented Aimee Ansari, TWB's executive director. "We can only meet Rohingya women's needs if we understand their language."
Dorothy Sang, Oxfam's campaign manager in Cox's Bazar, said, "Good communication is vital if we're to ensure traumatized refugees who have already suffered so much get the right support. A third of Rohingya women in the camps said they did not feel safe leaving their shelters – we need to fully understand why this is so we can do a better job protecting women."
To help field workers understand the variances in the terms and to use them effectively, Oxfam will lead staff and interpreter training for the gender-focused app terminology in October 2018.
Oxfam is calling for 15 per cent of new funding for the Rohingya crisis to be set aside for programs designed to better support women and girls, such as lighting to improve safety, toilets and washrooms that provide privacy, and extra assistance for the most vulnerable.
The TWB Glossary for Bangladesh, originally introduced in July 2017, now supports communication related to gender, and water, sanitation and hygiene. In the coming months, TWB will expand the glossary to include language associated with education, health, and justice. The glossary is part of the global series of TWB Glossaries which standardize how important concepts and terms are conveyed in the languages of crisis-affected people.
With the support of Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, CARE frontline staff is using this glossary to better communicate with women, men, girls and boys.
CARE's Gender, GBV & Protection Advisor, Clementine Novales, writes, "To be able to sincerely connect with the refugee community on sensitive issues of sexual violence, we ourselves first need to understand how they use words and concepts. With this new tool, we hope to clarify the language around gender, violence, and human rights."
Read our guidance about how to communicate about gender in the Rohingya language in English.

Translators without Borders (TWB) envisions a world where knowledge knows no language barriers. The US-based non-profit provides people access to vital knowledge in their language by connecting humanitarian and development organizations with a community of language professionals, building local language translation capacity, and raising awareness of language barriers. Originally founded in 1993 in France (as Traducteurs sans Frontières), TWB translates millions of words of life-saving and life-changing information a year.

the whole story sound questionable.
how about we talk about human characteristics, lack of definition, the way the human mind work could be redefine in an article soon to come, chanting and ranting about the world Divine.
There could be another home if all this should fall.
There are two black birds sitting ON the wall.
Pick a stone and shake off the truth when it hits at your yard, period! Ready to expose all your skeleton, best to be left un touched.
Kill the truth when it pops on the raider all over again.
Your prepared thesis to counter the clear evidence to your killings, is in the news all over again.
buy time till you outlast time, but no time is timed not to catch up with your period.
Instead of this insanity you spreading like a FUD, why not save periods to talk to your secret mistress. You call it a family tradition not to kill a kid but you go all man slaughter behind this walls, unseen.
What you gon do now, that your secret mistress just missed her period!
Tell the world about it, and eat up the shame, since you have a wife who shouldn't know.
Kill the unborn child like the government ripping off the country's wealth at early stages, killing the innocent to cover up their tracks, telling lies to us, like you did while laying down promises to your mistress about you staying with her forever.
All this might give your ego the right shoot and the exact amount of steroid.
but I am on, this is the masses period to treat the whole truth right since it came with an ACE validation, and to be serious.
No one wants to see your face monthly, how do we survive your eight years agenda with the price of always climbing the tree, as always.
What do our average ladies do when they sit on their period.
There are two black birds sitting.
Always would be, the rich who doesn't want any one to be richer.
The government who guide the country's resource just for their pocket like they have found the perfect HER.
Funnypix_when hunger hit your community but he has to be proved wrong..


When was the last time the League was this even?
With eight League games played in 2018-19, only six points separate the top of the table (Sevilla, 16 points) with the team in twelfth (Eibar, 10 points). It's something not seen in the domestic competition since the 2005-06 season. The start of that campaign saw more than a dozen teams in a very similar situation, separated by only five points from top to tenth.
In 2005, Getafe led the table with 17 points, with Celta Vigo in second on 16.
Looking at the current state of play, Real Madrid, Espanyol and Alavés all have 14 points, and sit from third to sixth place. Thirteen seasons ago, Los Blancos, Valencia and Osasuna had 15 points with Barça and Real Sociedad on 13.
Outside of the European places, we find Valladolid and Real Betis on 12 points in 2018-19, Real Sociedad with 11 and Celta and Levante closing the top ten places of the competition with 10 points. In 2005-06, Villarreal, Sevilla and Cádiz rounded off the top ten with 12 points each.
Despite the initial equality, at the end of the season things were vastly different. FC Barcelona clearly won the title thanks to the 82 points achieved (25 wins, seven draws and six defeats). Rijkaard's team finished 12 points ahead of Real Madrid, second with 70 points, 13 ahead of Valencia (69 points) and 14 in front of Osasuna and Sevilla (68 points).
Barça also lifted the Champions League in Paris at the end of the 2005-06 season. Ambassador of the Club and Barça Legend, Juliano Belletti, scored the winner to overcome Thierry Henry's Arsenal (1-2), the Frenchman exchanging London for Barcelona years later.

HomeVideo Game NewsA playable early Left 4 Dead prototype has appeared online
A playable early Left 4 Dead prototype has appeared online
An early playable prototype for Valve's zombie shooter Left 4 Dead has appeared online.
Zombie City, which is a Counter-Strike: Source mod, is now playable, with dozens of videos of the mod appearing online.
The prototype is very rudimentary, featuring no zombies, instead, players face off against AI terrorists that can only attack the player using melee attacks.
Notice: To display this embed please allow the use of Functional Cookies in Cookie Preferences.
The mod, which was made playable thanks to modder WolfCl0ck is the latest in a wider spread leak of Counter-Strike maps. As PC Gamer points out, Turtle Rock founder Michael Booth discussed the mod in the Left 4 Dead commentary track.
"While we were developing bots for Counter-Strike: Source we discovered that a few of us armed to the teeth with automatic weaponry against 30 knife-wielding enemy bots was a lot of fun. After shipping Counter-Strike: Source in late 2004 we started experimenting with new game prototypes. That basic kernel of 'small team of friends against hordes of clawing enemies' was something we kept coming back to and we soon realized that the 'co-op vs the horde game' had a ton of potential."
Released in 2008, the original Left 4 Dead was developed by Turtle Rock Studios, which was known as Valve South at the time. Release on the Xbox 360 and PC, the game saw players progress through campaigns in groups of four, taking down hundreds of zombies.
Following strong reviews, a sequel, Left 4 Dead 2 was released in 2009. The series has been largely dormant since then.
The team behind the game, Turtle Rock Studios, would go on to develop Evolve, a multiplayer game in which four players played as hunters against one human-controlled monster. The game was met with disappointing reviews and player reception.
Turtle Rock's latest game, Back for Blood, was released in 2021.
VGC's review of the game, which saw the studio return to its Left 4 Dead roots, read "It seems backhanded to say that a game is only worth playing if you can find people to distract you from the actual game, but if your group wants something mindless to wind down after an intense night on Warzone or Rainbow Six: Siege, Back 4 Blood is ideal."
