Open Educational Resources: A strategy to reduce the Know-Do gap in "Ethics of Research in pregnancy"
Director: Irene N. Melamed
Member (s) of the Ethics Working Group: Maggie Little, BPhil, PhD. Director of the Kennedy Institute of Ethics, and Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown. Florencia Luna, PhD. Director of Bioethics Program, FLACSO, Argentina.
Funded by: Wellcome Trust. Winning project, Global Forum Scholarship on Bioethics in Research, GFBR. WT Reference Number 206474/Z/17/Z
Duration of project: April – November, 2017
The general objective of this project is to contribute to the reduction of the Know-Do gap in "Ethics of Research in pregnancy" – by means of the development of Open Educational Resources (OER) – as a key challenge for Public Health.
Among the specific objectives the proposal includes: Design, development and spreading of 15 Open Educational Resources (five in English, ten in Spanish such as: brief reports, Power Point presentations, case studies, tasks, commentaries in a BLOG designed specifically to the project's purpose, interviews), to be shared as global public goods in local contexts and between countries, for the purpose of contributing to the development of new competences and to the construction of abilities within the subject of "Ethics of Research in pregnancy". As an additional purpose, it is desirable to discover –once the OER have been developed and spread- what use had they been assigned to, its audience and the level of satisfaction achieved due to its usage. This feedback will be a key element for the evaluation of the OER and for the project as a whole, and also, to make improvements that could justify the possible replication of the proposal.
Pregnancy, Research and Public Health Emergencies: Zika and Beyond.
Directors: Ruth Faden and Margaret Little
Members of the Assistant Committee: Dr. Florencia Luna, a multi-year project funded by the Wellcome Trust that seeks to develop concrete, actionable, consensus-driven guidance for conducting ethically responsible biomedical research with pregnant women in the context of public health emergencies.
Funding agency: Wellcome Trust
The objective of this project is to develop concrete ethical guidelines for biomedical research in pregnant women in the context of emergencies in public health –initially focused on the research for a vaccine against Zika virus. It is a multidisciplinary approach which includes a team of lawyers, philosophers, public health specialists, bioethicists, obstetricians, historians, together with a team of advisors from USA and Latin-America, specialized in maternal-fetal medicine, research of vaccines and maternal immunity. These guides will be developed by researchers and in accordance with experts to ensure that they will be:
According to the activities of research and development proposed;
Developed with the best scientific and medical evidence available;
Relevant as a realistic response of public health in social and cultural contexts in those areas where the epidemic has been more severe.

Grains are the staple of almost all traditional diets. Corn, rice, wheat, barley, oats, quinoa– you name it and you will find one of these carbs included in meals worldwide. And by now I'm sure you know that the secret to including these grains into a healthy diet is to stick to whole grains. Yep, that means 100% of the original kernel, all the bran, germ, and endosperm, must be present for it to count as whole. Whole grains don't mess around; they can reverse weight gain and decrease the risk of both insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, all of which have been associated with the consumption of refined grains. Luckily there are so many whole grains to chose from that your taste buds will never be bored! So let's check out and compare nutrients between brown rice and oats, two of the most popular grains in town.
There are so many different kinds of rice it's mind-blowing: a staggering 8000 plus varieties! These include basmati, jasmine, forbidden, and arborio rice (the kind used to make risotto) just to name a few. Rice is also categorized by its size as being either short grain, medium grain, or long grain. Short grain rice has the highest starch content and makes sticky rice while long grain is lighter and tends to remain separate when prepared. However, try to narrow down your picks by choosing whole rice, i.e. brown rice with only its inedible outer hull removed, still retaining the nutrient-rich bran and germ. This nutty-flavored grain is so popular that in some parts of the world, "eat" literally means "to eat rice." Now, you don't have to go around eating rice every time you eat but maybe you should think about switching out that pasta every once in awhile for a new rice dish! Check out this list of nutrients to see what makes brown rice such a nutritious dining option.
The most abundant nutrient, manganese, has an important role in energy production and antioxidant protection. For instance, this trace mineral helps to produce energy from proteins and carbohydrates. Meanwhile, its antioxidant power comes from working with enzymes that protect cells against damage from free radicals. Manganese is also involved in the synthesis of fatty acids which is crucial for maintaining a healthy nervous system. The next nutrient off the list, selenium, is an essential component of several major metabolic pathways including thyroid hormone metabolism, antioxidant defense systems, and immune function. Additionally, selenium works with vitamin E in ways throughout the body that help prevent cancer. In fact, there is a strong inverse correlation between selenium intake and cancer incidence. Furthermore, brown rice is a great source of magnesium, a co-factor for more than 300 enzymes. Magnesium is necessary for healthy bones. Two-thirds of magnesium in the human body is found in bones. Some of this magnesium helps give bones their shape while the rest is found on the surface of the bone where it is stored for later use. Meals consisting of brown rice can keep these magnesium levels replenished to meet the body's needs.
The Academy for Nutrition and Dietetics emphasizes the importance of choosing whole grains rather than choosing refined grains so if brown rice isn't your thing, try other whole grains like oats instead!
Oats, the hearty and affordable mealtime staple, are actually very versatile so stop thinking just about oatmeal! This hardy cereal grain is harvested in the fall but luckily for you and me, oats are available throughout the year. And to guarantee their whole-grain health benefits, oats are only hulled which preserves the bran and germ, allowing them to retain concentrated sources of fiber and other nutrients. Check out the list of nutrients for more details!
Foods high in fiber, such as oats, provide many health benefits such as reducing high LDL (bad) cholesterol, controlling blood sugar levels, increasing insulin sensitivity, and preventing the formation of gallstones. Also, according to this study, consuming just 3 grams of oat fiber per day (aka one bowl of oatmeal) can lower cholesterol levels up to 23%! The fiber found in oats, beta-glucan fiber, does all this AND protects against heart disease and helps the body fight off infections. So, grab a spoon and dig in! But, the nutritional benefits don't stop there. These complex carbs contain two types of antioxidants called avenanthramides and lignans. These little guys protect cells from cancer causing agents and further help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Protection against CVD is vital as it is the leading cause of hospitalization among American elderly. No matter what age though, be heart smart and include some oats in your diet!
Further research on both oats and rice is underway! It has been noted that whole grains contain many powerful phytonutrients whose activity has gone unrecognized until recent years because past research methods have overlooked them. Research is now focusing on the antioxidants found bound in whole grains which can be released to work in multiple ways to prevent disease. So show some well-deserved love to brown rice and oats!
Here are delicious recipes for oats and brown rice to satisfy any craving.

By 2050, IRENA projects that there will be around 40 million jobs directly related to renewable energy and energy efficiency worldwide, a more than four-fold increase from today. Women comprise roughly half the world's population, and their full inclusion is vital to ensuring that the new energy economy is based on the largest pool of talent, knowledge and skills.
Moreover, energy poverty has a disproportionate effect on women, and one of the most effective ways to ensure that renewable energy policies and practices consider the gendered impacts of energy is to empower women to shape them.
In 2016, IRENA conducted a survey of renewable energy companies worldwide and found that women represented an average of 35% of the workforce, a share greater than in the traditional energy sector, but lower than in the broader economy. In general, women are severely underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields and across the clean energy sector.
The reasons for this are numerous, interwoven and context-specific. One factor is that women spend a disproportionate amount of time in unpaid care work and this constrains their ability to engage in education and income-generating activities. Workplace conditions, such as flexibility of work hours, equal pay, and support for childcare, and a lack of gender-sensitive policies are also important. Energy poverty also reduces the ability of women the participate in the workforce by creating health risks (for example related to indoor air pollution from burning fuels) and lower educational outcomes (for example due to lack of lighting to study by).
In the access context, however, women should not be seen as only beneficiaries but also as agents of change. For example, in Indonesia, women, who are generally the decision makers on energy issues at the household level, have been empowered as "Wonder Women" through the sale of solar technologies. Another, in Mali, is activating women as social entrepreneurs by giving them access to renewable-energy-based income-generating activities.
Yumiko Murakami, Chief of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development OECD Japan Centre.
To better understand the challenges and potential solutions to full and equal participation of women in the renewable energy sector, IRENA sat down with Yumiko Murakami, Chief of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development OECD Japan Centre.
Ms. Murakami has been the head of the OECD in Tokyo since 2013. Prior to taking the leadership position, she worked for 18 years as an investment banker in London, New York and Tokyo. Ms. Murakami also has experience within the United Nations, as part of a peacekeeping operation in Cambodia.
IRENA: How do you see the energy sector changing in Japan, and in Asia in general, and what are the implications for women, both as consumers of energy or as those working in the industry?
Ms. Murakami: Japan has just updated its long-term energy policy for 2050, so it is a timely question. One can tell from the energy plan for 2050 that the momentum for the renewable energy sector is stronger than ever now in Japan because the plan specifically calls for the achievements of the goals set by the Paris Agreement as well as the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Japan is not unique in this regard. Many other countries in Asia have started to shift gears toward renewable energy as well.
In this context, implications for women are quite interesting. Japan lags behind many countries when it comes to gender equality. Particularly the energy sector is more male-dominated than the rest of the economy. However, the landscape is changing for women today as there is a stronger need for the economy to have more women at work place due to shrinking work force on back of aging demography. In fact, the female labour market participation rate of Japan has been steadily increasing in the recent years and it is now higher than that of the United States. As more and more women join the workforce, we have a very good chance that many of them will find fruitful careers in the renewable energy sector.
Being a new growth business, it is a very attractive industry for forward-looking individuals, as well as women who may prefer to work in an environment without cultural biases. From the consumer perspective, women also play a critical role to promote clean energy choices. The retail market for electricity has been recently deregulated in Japan, giving consumers more choices for energy source alternatives. Often times, the ultimate decision for various energy options is in the hands of women. It is critical to inform and educate women on long term implications of the choices they make.
IRENA: Last year, three of the four biggest renewable energy lenders in the world were Japanese. What are some of the ways that Japan can use this influence to drive greater gender equality in renewable energy?
Ms. Murakami: There is increasing awareness among investors for the role of finance in many of the areas specified by the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The fact environmental, social and governance (ESG) theme investment is becoming one of the most powerful forces in the global capital markets is very encouraging. Companies in Japan, including financial institutions as well as operational firms, realize they have the fiduciary responsibility to ensure their investments meet all expectations to promote the SDGs. Gender equality is clearly one of the most important areas for them to watch. It is highly desirable for the Japanese lenders to set clear standards and guidelines for gender equality for the projects they finance. It is also important to note that a diverse work place tends to encourage innovations, which can in turn improve productivity, ultimately giving lenders higher return on their investment in a long run.
IRENA: The energy economy of the future will be renewables-based, connected, and digital, and this requires a STEM-advanced workforce. Despite efforts, these fields remain male-dominated. What, in your view, are some of the ways that governments can support the engagement of women in STEM fields?
Ms. Murakami: This is a big challenge in Japan. Less than 15% of engineering students in Japan are female. While there is almost no difference between men and women in their educational attainment today, male students are 10 times more likely to choose technology-related fields compared to female students. Governments need to start gender mainstreaming at a much earlier stage than university or work place. It includes early career education, encouraging both girls and boys to consider STEM fields as well as efforts to eradicate unconscious gender biases, such as introducing female role models in STEM occupations at school and at home. The role of government continues to be important beyond education, too.
In Japan, a new bill was introduced last year to promote female leadership in business. It requires enterprises with more than 300 employees to set goals and action plans to improve gender balance in the work force. The newly revised Corporate Governance Code also demands listed companies to have at least one female board member. This type of initiative is helping gender equality.
IRENA: You have worked, and excelled, in traditionally male-dominated fields, such as finance and international diplomacy. What were some of the barriers that you faced and how did you overcome them?
Ms. Murakami: I spent most of my career on Wall Street. Although the investment banking industry is perhaps one of the most male-dominated businesses, I was fortunate to have colleagues and bosses who mentored and sponsored me. When you are minority, you need to step out of your comfort zone and identify people who can support you on your professional growth. They may not find you unless you find them: it is up to you. Another important element is to understand your competitive advantage and make sure you are adding value by differentiating yourself from the rest. Because you are a minority, often the only woman in your team or division, you may bring something unique to the table. This is not the same as using the gender card. This is all about making diversity work.
IRENA: What advice, from your own experience, can you give to other women looking to advance their careers in the energy sector?
Ms. Murakami: As mentioned earlier, women need to realize that they have so much to offer because they are (at least at this point) minority and different from men. The only way for the energy sector to improve productivity is through innovation. Innovation requires diversity. Sometimes women may feel as if they need to behave like men to be accepted by their male colleagues. I think this is a mistake. Women should feel free to be themselves. Their thought process, ideas and feelings maybe different from those of men. That is exactly what work place needs: a wide range of views.

Rafael Nadal vs. Daniil Medvedev: Survival Of the Fittest
September 13, 2019 September 20, 2019 ~ Godandsports	~ Leave a comment
Rafael Nadal just won his 19th Grand Slam singles title as he was recently crowned the 2019 US Open Tennis Tournament champion. But it wasn't easy. Nadal won because he outlasted his opponent. That's it. Nadal didn't necessarily play better or serve better or volley better. He just lasted longer. And that's the life lesson; sometimes you don't win big by blowing out your opponent. Sometimes you just figure out a way to stay on your feet for five hours and will your way to a win. It takes guts and grit and resolve and a unanimous resolution to win the match we saw Rafael win on Sunday night. And it was one for the ages.
There were so many lessons and so many story lines and so many memories made that time would fail to capture them all in in one blog. But there's one story line that I love. It's about the heart of a champion. Here's how a Washington Post writer described Nadal's marathon match with Daniil Medvedev:
"In one of those occasional and stupendous sporting events that winds up flattering the runner-up every ounce as much as the winner, Rafael Nadal spent Sunday evening withstanding a championship match donnybrook rich in unbelievable volleys and awe inspiring, gasping points. A U.S. Open final that was an almost peerless, instant classic was built to such heights that the far-fetched story within it seemed to outweigh even the long-term significance it caused.
Daniil Medvedev, the 6-foot-6, 23-year-old Russian who looks as if he has never encountered a fat gram, spent the 4 hours 50 minutes of Nadal's 7-5, 6-3, 5-7, 4-6, 6-4 win showing that his beanpole frame houses a humongous heart." https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/09/08/us-open-mens-final-rafael-nadal-seeks-th-grand-slam-title/?noredirect=on
And so there you have it. Every time we outlast an opposition, we wonder how we made it over. The how is in the heart. And you don't just need heart; you need a humongous heart, just like the tender, leathery heart of love that our Lord displayed for us on Calvary. The victory of the Cross wasn't easy, but it was worth it. Rafael Nadal would say the same about his momentous US Open Championship win. And when we are still standing after the enemy has thrown his best at us, we too can say the same.
Tears of Sports Joy: Why Aren't You Watching the 2019 US Open?
September 2, 2019 September 2, 2019 ~ Godandsports	~ Leave a comment
Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff at their joint Post Match Press Conference at the 2019 US Open
Talk about drama and theater and a showcase and an awesome show of showmanship in sports! I just started watching the 2019 US Tennis Open and now I can't stop. Yes, this year's US Open has it all. Upsets, comebacks and, you guessed it- turnarounds, especially on the women's side.
Two matches are particularly of note; Taylor Townsend vs. Simona Halep and, of course, Naomi Osaka vs. Coco Gauff.
When I tuned in to the Taylor/Halep match, it looked like Taylor was trying to LOSE her math to Halep and not win. Seriously. She made unforced error after unforced error, and had so many mental miscues that I said there is no way this American is going to win. But she did. Instead of losing, she pulled herself together and won the match that could easily have been lost. Kudos to you Taylor, your upset win made me cry for joy.
The New York Times reported is this way:
"Taylor Townsend stunned the reigning Wimbledon champion Simona Halep on Thursday by rushing to the net 106 times. In her match with Halep on Saturday, Taylor said 'there was no reason to change what was working.'
And in her previous win, Townsend, ranked 116th, came to the net 75 times in her 7-5, 6-2 victory over Sorana Cirstea in Louis Armstrong Stadium, including 53 times on serve-and-volley points. In her on-court interview after the match, Townsend said she had been surprised to learn how many people had her phone number, based on the congratulations she received on her win over Halep, but had worked to maintain her focus.
'I just tried to keep my head on straight," Townsend, 23, said. "My coach and I talked about strategy, and just continuing what I did from the last round, and just trying to get better.' " https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/31/sports/tennis/us-open-taylor-townsend.html
Townsend was playing in the third round of a Grand Slam tournament for just the second time in her career, after losing at this stage of the 2013 French Open. She told the crowd this would be only the beginning for her, saying she planned to "ride this thing all the way."
The Los Angeles times reported this part of the story:
"Unable to recapture the success she had enjoyed at the junior level, Taylor Townsend knew earlier this year she'd have to change something in her tennis life. Being routed by Simona Halep at Miami in March was the catalyst that drove Townsend, 23, to approach Halep for advice. Halep generously obliged. But on Thursday, Halep became a victim of Townsend's rekindled hunger. In the biggest upset of this year's U.S. Open, a confident Townsend went to the net early and often and outplayed Halep — the current Wimbledon champion — to earn a 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (4) victory in a second-round match at Arthur Ashe Stadium. And so Townsend's win wasn't much of a thank-you to Halep. "Next time, I will not say anything," she said, smiling.
Taylor said "she didn't really tell me anything I didn't know, but it was good to hear it from another player, someone I just played, played a couple of times. Especially someone who is at such a high level, has accomplished so much," Townsend said. "I'm not saying that everything she said I implemented into my training, but it was definitely in the back of my head to remember what she said and also remember why I asked, what drove me to ask that question, kind of that hunger and desire to get better."
The triumph was a long time coming for Townsend, who became teary-eyed during a post-match interview." https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2019-08-29/taylor-townsend-takes-simona-halep-advice-then-beats-her-in-u-s-open-singles.
http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=27510631
And THEN there was the most anticipated match of the tournament; reigning US Open Champion Naomi Osaka vs. Coco Gauff. If you didn't watch the match on Saturday night, just watch the post-game interview. It's a presser that will live in sports infamy.
I just dare you not to cry.
Note to Serena: Don't Let The Ump Beat You On the Inside
Was Serena Williams treated differently than a man would have been treated for doing exactly what she did and saying exactly what she said?
Serena let her emotions get the best of her. In the US Open Women's Final, Serena was offended and insulted and slighted; she was harmed and therefore she hurt and was unhappy and upset all at the same time. Ever been there? I'm there now. But thank God there's a way out of the darkness of defeat.
The remedy for pain is praise. The remedy for hurt is to sing hallelujah. The remedy for sorrow is to shout for joy. Only God can give beauty for ashes, and the oil of joy for morning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
I'm proud of how Serena stood up for herself. She was affronted, but she stood her ground and did not back down. Even though it cost her the match and millions of dollars, in the end she won the admiration and adoration of loyal fans the word over. She was wronged, and, in an effort to clear her name, she took a loss, and a worthy opponent got the win.
In other words, Serena won on the inside. Outside she was heated and it caused her to be hampered. She was upset, but that's ok.
She won anyway.
Is Serena Williams The Best Women's Tennis Player Ever?
July 13, 2018 July 15, 2018 ~ Godandsports	~ Leave a comment
Who are the best athletes ever?
In some sports, there is an ongoing, if not raging debate about who is the G.O.A.T., a.k.a., the greatest of all time. But not in women's tennis. In women's tennis there isn't even the slightest hint of discussion about the best to play the game, ever.
In Basketball, the debate rages on between LeBron and Michael. And for football quarterbacks, it's Brady vs. Montana, with honorable mentions to Bradshaw, Marino and Favre, Steve Young and John Elway and Peyton Manning, and of course, Roger Staubach.
Hockey is easy: Gretzy the Great will forever hold that title. Baseball is a little harder to pin down, but certainly it's got to be the Babe or some other Yankee. In other sports, such as women's gymnastics, Nadia Comaneci's name comes immediately to mind as she is certainly is at the top of the list. In men's swimming, Michael Phelps has dominated of late.
Since it's the season for Wimbledon, we focus on tennis. In men's tennis, Federer just lost in the quarterfinals for the first time ever (that was a fluke, right?), but he's still got to be at the top of the list along with Nadal and Sampras and my man Bjorn Borg and Ivan Lendl and McEnroe and Andre Agassi and even Jimmy Connors.
But when it comes to women's tennis, there is absolutely no debate. None. We all loved watching Chrissy Everett, and respected Martina Navratilova, and Monica Seles and Steffi Graff. But when it comes to tennis, there is only one queen. Serena. Not even her sister Venus gets an honorable mention. Serena reigns supreme.
Serena is one win away from wining her eighth major championship, at Wimbledon alone. Here's how ESPN put it:
"Even after more than a year away from the tour, even after a health scare while having a baby a little more than 10 months ago, Williams is still capable of dominance.
A relatively routine 6-2, 6-4 semifinal victory over 13th-seeded Julia Goerges of Germany on Thursday put Williams into her 10th final at the All England Club and moved her closer to a 24th Grand Slam title, which would equal Margaret Court's record.
'It's crazy. I don't even know how to feel, you know, because literally, I didn't expect to do this well in my fourth tournament back,' Williams said. 'I just feel like when I don't have anything to lose, I just can play so free, and that's kind of what I'm doing.'
After hitting five aces with a serve that reached 119 mph, delivering 16 winners to only seven unforced errors, and covering the court so well with speed and effort against Goerges, Williams will face another German, 11th-seeded Angelique Kerber, on Saturday. http://www.espn.com/tennis/story/_/id/24076249/wimbledon-2018-serena-williams-angelique-kerber-reach-final
That was the play-by-play. Now here's the commentary: the great ones in every sport inspire us to do our best, to be at our best, and to stay at our best. Because we love to watch the best, and only the best. We like excellence in everything, especially sports. And that's what sports do for us. Great players give us excellence, and the best ones do that (mostly) all of the time.
Spiritually, God requires excellence as well. Since we can't be at our best all of the time on our own, He now asks — not demands, but asks — that allow Him to help us be at our best, live at our best, and stay at our best, all of the time. Naturally, that's what Serena is doing on the court. Naturally and spiritually, that's God wants to help us do every day in every way.
A Philadelphia 76ers Sports Prophecy: Philly Philly!
April 5, 2018 April 6, 2018 ~ Godandsports	~ Leave a comment
They said it couldn't be done. They said it wouldn't be done. But done it was. Here we have an example of negative prophecy, or false prophecy, if you will. What the sports "prophets" said wouldn't come to pass did in fact come to pass. The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl with Nick Foles, our beloved back up QB.
And now this. Philly's professional basketball team, our beloved 76ers, have made the playoffs and have won — get this– 12 straight games. That's a three week winning streak, the longest in memory. Allen Iverson led the Sixers to a ten game winning streak to start the season back in 2000 on the way to a NBA Finals matchup with the Lakers. And Dr. J and Moses Malone certainly had a few winning streaks of their own during the 1983 Championship season when we beat the Lakers. And that's just off the top of my head.
And now this. Now the new, next-gen Sixers are following the pattern and winning games and hearts the world over. First of all, they have great players and they make up a great team. And those two main ingredients don't always go hand in hand.
And so here's the prophecy: the Sixers will win the NBA Title. They will. It's just a matter of time. How do I know? Here's how C.H. Spurgeon put it:
Courage, you that prayerfully work and toil for Christ with success of the very smallest kind, it shall not be so always; better times are before you.
Success of the very smallest kind. Wow. Sound familiar? Sometimes that's how life feels. So you've got to believe that things will turn around and in fact are turning around. Determine to disappoint the devil and expect to experience victory in every area every day.
Some say that prophecy and sports don't go together, but I beg to differ. Joe Namath predicted that the Jets would win the Super Bowl in '69. And they did, even though they were the underdog of underdogs. That's just the most famous sports prophecy that I can remember. Certainly there are many others.
Better times are ahead. The Sixers have endured the hard times. They certainly had some bad times. Now it's time for the good times. And it will happen.
Just have faith and believe.
Sloane Stephens Wins the 2017 US Open: The Impossible is Possible
September 10, 2017 ~ Godandsports	~ Leave a comment
September 7, 2017 New York, NY, USA– Sloane Stephens of the United States celebrates after match point against Venus Williams of the United States on day eleven of the U.S. Open tennis tournament at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Geoff Burke-USA TODAY
Once again, we have yet another "David" pulling off an upset win when no one, and I mean NO ONE, gave her a chance. The "her" is Sloane Stephens.
Who is Sloane Stephens? Who knew or even wildly guessed she would win the US Open? And who saw this one coming? We'll field the answers to Questions 2 and 3 first: nobody and not anybody. Now for Question No. 1: Sloane, a 24 year old who has been playing professional tennis since she was 16, came from nowhere and ended up somewhere very special. The winners circle at the US Open is a pretty special place to be, especially when you didn't expect to end up there. Good for her. For more on Stephens, check out her web site http://sloanestephens.com/about/ which is pretty nice.
Sloane Stephens, who was unseeded and ranked 83rd, defeated Venus Williams in the semi-finals of the US Open, and in 2013. At the tender age of 15, she defeated Serena in the Australian Open! Sheeesh! I love it.
Once again, sports stands at the front of the classroom, with chalk in hand at the blackboard drawing X's and O's, teaching us once again that an unknown can come from the unknown and become so well known that we can't ignore how hard work and faith can combine and collaborate in a comeback conquest for the ages. But none of this looked possible earlier this summer.
Stephens, who had been sidelined for 11 months after a foot injury and underwent surgery in January, made her comeback at Wimbledon and entered this summer's US Open Series ranked 957th. Talk about sitting in the back of the bus! But she's been on a tear in the North American events, reaching the semifinals in Toronto and Cincinnati.
"I had surgery January 23," Stephens said. "If someone told me then that I'd win the US Open, I would say 'It's impossible – it's absolutely impossible.' My journey to get here, coming back, just being able to keep it all together and have such a great team behind me — this journey's been incredible. And I honestly wouldn't change it for the world.
Wow. What a humble, meek and modest message.
With the win, Stephens is projected to rise to No. 17. She also nets a hefty payday: $3.7 million. Her career earnings heading into this tournament were $4,519,709, with $310,546 coming this year. http://us.cnn.com/2017/09/09/tennis/us-open-final-madison-keys-sloane-stephens/index.html
And her reaction and facial expression after she found out how much her earnings were is priceless. "That's a lot of money," a visibly surprised Stephens said.
Get used to it sista.
Serena Is At It Again
September 8, 2015 ~ Godandsports	~ 1 Comment
When you're hot you're hot. And Serena Williams is hot and she's at it again. She's playing at a high level and showing the rest of the tennis world how it's done. And in so doing, she is showing us how life can be lived when we focus and dial in and double down on destiny.
Serena is marching and moving and making her way toward destiny and history. Serena sees the light at the end of the tunnel, which is a calendar year Grand Slam – winning the Australian, French, and US Tennis Opens in a calendar year, with Wimbledon mixed in between.
Serena is in the moment. And knowing and seizing and grasping and grabbing the moment is something that few athletes can do. And yet Serena is right there. And that's a testimony and a testament for us all. Serena is on a mission, and we are going along for the ride. Serena is sassy and sizzling and yes, sensational. And we are enjoying every point and every serve and every return and every forehand and every backhand and every ace of this race to extend her dynasty and to further establish her legacy.
For those of that can't play a lick of tennis, we can listen and learn and study and survey and assess and appraise the great ones, and take from them the nuggets and tidbits and morsels and fragments that fall from their tables and feast on them ourselves.
And more than that, we can learn the lessons and take the treats and pocket the pleasures that a sports great like Serena is serving up and apply them to our everyday lives.

Why I love zombie apocalypse shows as a Christian
Posted on February 8, 2022 February 8, 2022 By Caleb Parke
It surprised my dad when I told him I loved zombie movies and TV shows.
As a Christian, I can see why people would think zombies and the Bible don't mix or dismiss them entirely (I don't blame you). But here's why I love them.
Click here to get FREE positive story updates in your inbox!
I first got hooked on "The Walking Dead." — the first few seasons, that is. As swarms of the undead seek to wipe out humanity itself, a remnant does all they can to press on. You get to know who characters truly are at their core.
And since then, I've been obsessed with shows like "All of Us Are Dead," a modern-day show of a zombie apocalypse that breaks out in a high school and quickly spreads to the community before the government declares martial law. It is currently one of the top shows on Netflix.
Then there is "Kingdom," a historical thriller with a fallen king, and the movie "Train to Busan," which follows a businessman traveling to where an outbreak began. South Korea has brutally perfected the zombie apocalypse genre with the ever-present thrill and enough hope to carry on.
That's what first got me. The theme of hope in the darkest of circumstances.
Drink the same Four Sigmatic mixes I use every day for superhero focus, immunity, and chill. Promo code: "GOODNEWS"!
In each scenario, individuals go from everyday people to becoming heroes by learning their circumstances. How and why do people turn into zombies? How can you stop them? What does it take?
The Bible talks a lot about hope in a seemingly hopeless world.
Hebrews 10:23 says, "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful."
In "All of Us Are Dead," students at an abandoned high school have to remind each other of the hope set before them instead of focusing on the dire situation in front of their eyes. Inevitably, some give up.
Why I Recommend This 30-Day Bible Reading Challenge (You Can Do It!)
It brings up a lot of moral questions about life. Is it worth saving a pregnant woman who needs more resources and/or a baby who is helpless on their own and will scream and cry — attracting the worst of the worst.
Leaders emerge in each show by making quick decisions and lending a helping hand. Another major theme is sacrifice.
Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends" in the gospel of John.
The sacrifices people have to make in the zombie apocalypse genre is so clear — most characters fail to stand up or help others but a few make the ultimate sacrifice for loved ones — or maybe even a complete stranger.
I believe these shows pull at our heartstrings because they speak to so many virtues that are felt but not seen in our world today — love, faith, and, especially hope.
Finished #AllOfUsAreDead on @Netflix. Really good. A great zombie show to add to #Kingdom, #TrainToBusan and #Alive. Props to South Korea for brutally mastering the zombie apocalypse genre with that ever-present thrill and just enough hope to carry on. 👏👏👏

Getting sick or injured is a pretty common occurrence for many people. With that said, it's not always that they can go to the hospital or medical center which is why a paramedic is needed on the scene. If you want to be a paramedic driver, then you should know that time is of the essence. If you want to be a reliable paramedic driver, then it's pretty important for you to be aware of certain things to actually have this kind of career. With that said, if you want to become a good paramedic driver, then you have to keep in mind some things first. Having that said, you need to find a reputable paramedic driving course that will help you fulfill your tasks in this career.
Since the job of the paramedic driver involves the safety of the patient, it's only natural to see their role to be an important one. With that said, being paramedic driver is not an easy task and you will want to make sure that you're always at your best when driving. You'll have to get the training to be able to focus under stress and prevent yourself from panicking in dire situations. Keep in mind that being a paramedic driver is something that will need you to have a strong conviction to get the job done.
When it comes to becoming a full-fledged paramedic driver, it's important to keep in mind that there are certain things that you need to be able to do first. If you want to be a reliable paramedic driver in the future, it's quite important that you find a good reason why you want to enroll in the course or program in the first place. If you're planning to be a reliable paramedic driver, then you should also know that being selfless about it is crucial. Being a paramedic driver means that you'll need to be able to handle the constant pressure of rushing patients to the hospital most of the time. Keep in mind that handling such pressure is not an easy job and even more so if you don't really have any training for it. It's also a fact that certain issues can happen while you're on the road and it's your responsibility to adapt to such changes in order to get the patient to the hospital. By being able to choose a reliable paramedic driving course, you'll have the training that you need in order to overcome the obstacles when the time comes that you have to drive a patient to the hospital. In any case, having a precise driving technique is essential for any paramedic driver. Keep in mind that the patient is in a fragile state while they are being rushed to the hospital which is why it's only natural that having a precise skill in driving is essential when it comes to being a paramedic driver.
If you're having a hard time finding a local paramedic driving course that you need, you'll just have to get a list of them online and see which one would suit your preference the best.

Unsatisfactory verdict in the Roseanne Mallon inquest
Blog by Mike Ritchie
More than three and a half years – yes, three and a half years! – after the conclusion of all the evidence in the inquest into the murder of Roseanne Mallon, Sir Reginald Weir sat down in Nisi Prius court in Belfast city centre and declared he could find neither direct nor indirect evidence of collusion between the loyalist killers and any state agency in the case.
He had a rather sore throat and coughed regularly throughout, reaching for the glass of water at his side to help him through; reading out his findings for 50 minutes was a challenge for his larynx.
And listening to the verdict, one is tempted to say he might as well not have bothered.
He outlined a litany of issues of concern, missing interview notes, police journals, ID line-ups which never took place, fingerprint tests which weren't carried out, British army surveillance videos which had been erased and logs which were not all available. He rehearsed shoddy communication, failure to share information, mysterious witnesses who can no longer be traced, a shadowy forensic unit staffed by incompetent personnel. He regretted many of the failings as unhelpful. He bemoaned the way in which Special Branch routinely failed to co-operate with murder inquiries.
But he refused – from this inventory of failures, mistakes, obstructions and malfunctions – to draw any inferences that will discommode former members of RUC Special Branch, current MI5 personnel and other state agents. He refused to draw conclusions from the British army, 6-man, 24 hour-a-day surveillance on (and situated 500 yards from) the property targeted in the attack on Roseanne. He avoided any allocation of blame for the wiping of video records and incomplete log records.
The camera found by the Mallon family after Roseann was killed in 1994
While noting that the seller of the car used in the attack said that he could identify the person to whom he had sold the car and would be prepared to participate in an ID parade, provided he was not visible to the suspect, Sir Reginald baldly states that the police never came back to him. There are, however, no conclusions to be drawn from that as to incompetence or more suspicious motives to make the Retired Police Officers Association sit uneasily at their breakfast.
The murder weapon and ammunition were part of a notorious consignment brought into the north of Ireland in circumstances where British security agencies were complicit. Widespread allegations of collusion in relation to these weapons is not thought worthy of mention by the Coroner.
While deploring the failure of Special Branch to provide relevant information to the murder investigation, he refused to be drawn on whether that investigation had been undermined or the perpetrators thereby protected. His tone was along the lines of: "I am simply unable to say."
The immediate facts of the assassination are uncontested.
76-year-old Roseanne Mallon was gunned down in her sister's house on the night of 8th May 1994. Loyalists drove to the house in rural east Tyrone, ran up the drive and round to the back where they opened fire through the living room window. Roseanne's sister, Brigid, had been on the phone to her daughter who lives across the road. The daughter saw the car arrive and told her mother to get everyone safe. Brigid whispered to Roseanne that she should move out of the room and went back into the hallway. Roseanne was just getting up from the sofa, hindered by her arthritis, when the bullets came through the window, breaking up into fragments in their flight and causing multiple injuries to the head and limbs and, catastrophically, to the trunk. Roseanne died at the scene.
These immediate facts are not in doubt. It is the wider questions concerning the shooting that are the cause of controversy.
Roseanne's family is convinced that there was collusion in this case. The UVF attack was aimed at the family; Roseanne was an acceptable victim in a wider campaign aimed at republican families in general; targetting the more vulnerable members of those families was a way of terrorising the suspected republican activists in the family and the wider republican community in general. The pattern in this case is replicated in many other shootings carried out by loyalists across the north in circumstances where police officers have threatened that such attacks by loyalists would take place.
As information and wider evidence became available either by accident or through discovery by the courts, the family's conviction that Roseanne was a casualty of wider collusion became clearer. The extensive undercover army surveillance on the family residence and engineering works was only revealed when the surveillance equipment was discovered overlooking the premises two months after the shooting. The information was not volunteered to the family nor even to the RUC team investigating the murder. Only during the course of the inquest did court orders then lead to the disclosure of partial video records and incident logs, which had not been shared with the murder investigation team by Special Branch.
Special Branch institutional control over this and many other killings was revealed only during the inquest hearings when the existence of an hitherto unknown forensic unit emerged. The Weapons and Explosives Research Centre (WERC) had privileged access to ballistics before the Forensic Science Laboratory. Whether the personnel in WERC were incompetent or dissimulating, their role inhibited the proper investigation of the murder and allowed more sand to be kicked into the eyes of those seeking to expose what really happened. WERC analysis was wildly inaccurate in respect of the previous history of the murder weapon.
The notorious Portadown loyalist, Billy Wright, was mentioned by Sir Reginald in respect of two deeply suspicious issues: the fact that his car is highly likely to have been in the vicinity of the Mallon home (a deeply rural area where passing through traffic is very unusual) in the days before the shooting; and that he was arrested while driving between Armagh and Portadown in the immediate aftermath of the shooting along with two other un-named suspects. These three men were held in Gough Barracks for three days and interviewed. The notes of these interviews were no longer available due to an asbestos scare in the building which had led to documents being destroyed. In respect of this, the coroner reserved perhaps his strongest comments wondering at the fact that the information had not been preserved safely rather than "allowing workmen to carry off sensitive confidential documents without recording the material". However, rather than being able to add this to a litany of unusual or suspicious lacunae, once again Sir Reginald contented himself by describing the absence of these documents as "unhelpful" to the work of the inquest.
Most surprisingly, Sir Reginald failed to mention Billy Wright in relation to perhaps the most crucial issue; whether he was a paid agent of the state, as has been claimed by many, on many occasions. This was an issue which was addressed at considerable length during the inquest hearings. While police witnesses relied on their tired formula of neither confirming or denying whether particular individuals were paid state agents, the judge pointed out – rather robustly – that when a suspected informant (such as Billy Wright) is dead, their safety is no longer at risk and therefore exposing them is not prohibited.
Yet when it came to his findings overall, Sir Reginald followed the rules by saying nothing at all about Billy Wright and his status as a paid agent.
In all this, the coroner failed to define collusion; he simply said he could find none on the basis of the evidence before him.
Yet consider the following from the Smithwick Report into allegations of collusion between the IRA and members of An Garda Siochana:
"23.1.2 Collusive acts are, by their very nature, surreptitious. Absent a phone call or incriminating bank transfer, if collusion has occurred, the evidence of it will almost certainly be difficult to find…"
Notwithstanding these difficulties, Judge Smithwick nevertheless adopted (see p. 16) the following definition for the purposes of his inquiry:
"… The issue of collusion will be examined in the broadest sense of the word. While it generally means the commission of an act, I am of the view that it should also be considered in terms of an omission or failure to act. In the active sense, collusion has amongst its meanings to conspire, connive or collaborate. In addition I intend to examine whether anybody deliberately ignored a matter or turned a blind eye to it or have pretended ignorance or unawareness of something one ought morally, legally or officially to oppose".
The Police Ombudsman also addressed the issue of collusion in some remarks in the Loughinisland report, at page 6:
"I am of the view that individual examples of neglect, incompetence and/or investigative failure are not (de facto) evidence of collusion.
"However, a consistent pattern of investigative failures may be considered as evidence of collusion depending on the context and specifics of each case. This is particularly the case when dealing with police informants, who were participating in crime."
In the end, he also adopted the same working definition as Judge Smithwick.
When these considerations are borne in mind and applied to the pattern of the evidence at the inquest into Roseanne Mallon's murder, it can be readily seen why her family are so angry. Withheld evidence, apparent incompetence, Special Branch obstruction, destruction of evidence, failure to carry out routine investigative actions, prolonged furtive surveillance, the suspected presence of paid informants: all these fit into the patterns set out by Judge Smithwick and Dr Michael Maguire. The collusion is self-evident.
At best, by emphasising that he could not make a finding of collusion based on the evidence in front of him, Sir Reginald may have been signalling that suspected collusion has still not been found. However, it was open to him to move the debate forward by inferring that the pattern of behaviour and coincidence before him was both suspicious and surreptitious.
In the end, like Pontius Pilate, he seemed to prefer to wash his hands of the matter.

CanJet Airlines suspends operations
CanJet Airlines (2nd) (Halifax) yesterday (September 1) announced it was suspending flight operations indefinitely as it was just too unprofitable to operate just one Boeing 737-800 for Air Transat (Montreal). This 737 will now join the AIr Transat fleet. There are no further flights scheduled at this time.
The company will continue to lease out and maintain its remaining Boeing 737-800s. However if it cannot find suitable leases for the aircraft going forward, they are likely to be returned to the owners.
This version of CanJet started operations on June 20, 2002.

CanJet Airlines to lay off 115 pilots and flight attendants
CanJet Airlines (2nd) (Halifax) will lay off 47 pilots and 68 permanent and seasonal flight attendants because the airline is dropping its unprofitable seasonal flights to Europe. According to this report by Halifax Herald, the airline is considering a low-cost schedule service alternative. This is the second setback for the struggling carrier after Air Transat (Montreal) announced previously it was acquiring its own Boeing 737s after CanJet had been operating for Air Transat. As a response, CanJet formed CanJet Vacations (Toronto).

CanJet to launch its own tour operation next winter
CanJet Airlines (2nd) (Halifax) will develop and launch its own in-house travel tour operation for the next winter season. The company is diversifying after Air Transat (Montreal) decided to use its own Boeing 737-800s to conduct its holiday package flights rather than using the Boeing 737-800s of CanJet. The company will use either the CanJet vacations or CanJet Holidays name for the new division.

She's got a point.
Half a point. Isn't the new team two men and two women?

I thought they were disowning the film because it was shit and no other reason. In the same way the Halloween franchise retconned a bunch of sequels and made the newest a direct sequel.
DC Lemon
The three surviving originals made cameos in the 2016 film as different characters. It was never part of the same timeline as the first two. There's no retconning involved here, is there?
10 minutes ago, grindmouse said:
Yeah the film was disowned because it underperformed.
Also the characters haven't been disowned. They're continuing in comic form and the fanbase has generally been kinder to that writing versus the movie.
I like Leslie Jones, but she's showing a lack of understanding of the impact of the original film versus GB16. But given the abuse she had to endure, and that she had had one of the best lines in the GB16, she gets a pass.
I liked the characters and the chemistry they had, I just felt that everything else surrounding them was just poor. I'd be happy to see a follow up with them in it personally.
OogyBoogy
Team Blue
God, please no. Neither Kate McKinnon nor Leslie Jones are funny in anything they've done in my opinion. I couldn't care less the last GB movie was a team of females. The problem was that they tried to make a funny movie with unfunny actors, and it just didn't work.
I presume you are only talking movies here, so you haven't seen any SNL?
Also, what are you saying 'god no' to .. ?
The problem with Ghostbusters 2016 wasn't the acting talent involved, it was the bane of many modern comedy films - long periods of awful improv in lieu of actual scripted jokes. I'm sure Thor doing his 'I'm thick durrrrrr' riffs was side-splitting for the cast and crew, much the way someone doing an impression of Carol from HR at the office Christmas Party is hilarious in the moment. Sitting through 2 hours of it at the cinema, not so much.

That Garfield thing is complete definitely bollocks. Dude just wanted to fucking get paid.
Anyway, they shouldn't be allowed to reboot their way out of the shitty hole they've dug for the franchise. Justice for the unfunny saturday night live women!
To anyone else that thinks Kate McKinnon isn't funny
or Kristen Wiig
mushashi
Interesting to hear that improvised comedy doesn't go down too well in feature films, the cast of the latest Thor film seemed to be patting themselves on the back for re-inventing that series by going down that route.
Never seen any of the Ghostbuster sequels and I probably have never actually watched the entirety of the original film either, well certainly can't remember that much of it as it's been a while since I last caught it on TV. The teaser for this seemed to amount to not much personally. I'd assumed from the praise there was more to it.
13 minutes ago, mushashi said:
Nobody's saying it can't work, only in these instances it didn't. A lot of people thought Thor was a triumph but that's why we can't have nice things.
Do people still rate Anchorman? as that reportedly potentially has a fair amount of improv on top of the initial script material, well they did end up with enough extra material to make a 2nd film out of the stuff they threw away!
I cannot stand Will Ferrell in anything aside from the Lego movie and Austin Powers cameos

it depends on writers and who is acting and what roles and use of CGI and good directing. It might be better than the original we doesn't know.
It would be a guaranteed hit if Bob Hoskins were alive to play Slimer.

Anchorman's trajectory to becoming a cult classic was a weird one. By 2006 everyone was quoting it.
But all of the folks I knew who loved the film, dozens of them, point blank refused to watch Wake Up Ron Burgundy! and really turned on the sequel. Those three films are all weaker than the first, but the humour is the same and there are some great scenes in Wake Up! *Shrug*
Yeah but the jokes weren't as funny that's why.
