Treatment Action Campaign receives R14m lifeline
However, the financial injection may not save jobs already on the cutting board.
The foundation, headed by former UN Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa Stephen Lewis, made the announcement at a Toronto press conference late on Friday attended by former TAC General Secretary Vuyiseka Dubula.
The foundation has challenged other South African and international donors to support the organisation that fought to introduce HIV treatment in South Africa. The foundation will also match up to R14m in contributions for TAC's budget.

Lewis once called TAC the "spiritual leader" of HIV activism. On Friday, he described how TAC became a "model in the Herculean struggle against the pandemic."
His daughter, Ilana Landsberg-Lewis, is the executive director of the foundation that bears her father's name. She said that as consecutive UNAIDS reports and international donors alike waxed on about the so-called "end of AIDS", this was when the world needs the TAC.
"We've seen for several years the really lamentable and worrisome retraction of funds and the diminution of funds for community-based organisations and (non-governmental organsations) and importantly and disturbingly, the activists' networks," Landsberg-Lewis said.
"(TAC) was responsible for rescuing millions of lives and for turning around prevailing norms and attitudes, and we all know that things would have been much worse without them."
"Right at the moment when another chapter is unfolding… (with) the intonation that the end of the pandemic is in sight…seems to me is the most ludicrous moment to let your strongest organisations run by and for the people affected to fail," she added.
Read: TAC not closing down
TAC General Secretary Anele Yawa has thanked the foundation, which has financially supported TAC since 2006, and appealed for donors to heed Lewis' call.
"Our struggle against AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and collapsing healthcare services in South Africa is far from over," said Yawa. "We appeal to donors out there to match this pledge so that we can turn all our attention to the real and urgent work ahead of us."
TAC has already begun to retrench staff and cut back infrastructure to make the organisation more financially sustainable in the future. According to the Stephen Lewis Foundation, TAC will start closing down unless it receives at least R28 million in new funding by March next year.
In August, some TAC employees had already been told about looming layoffs as the organisation slashes provincial staff and moves them out of dedicated offices, according to staff members who asked to remain anonymous.
Despite TAC employees claiming that they had been told to re-apply for remaining posts, TAC stopped short of confirming the downsizing in late October.
"After intense reflection over the last 12 months, and given the withdrawal of some large donors, it is clear though that we have to become more focused and streamlined," said TAC in response to questions over the alleged layoffs

"TAC's national leadership is currently consulting with its staff and various levels of elected leadership about how to ensure an effective and sustainable TAC going forward," it added. "No final decisions have as yet been taken about the organisation's future structure.
Such decisions will only be taken after consultations are completed and a proposal is made to the TAC board of directors."
TAC provincial staff said that they had already been told their jobs would be cut in October and that their last working day would be 15 December.
Provincial operations are to be scaled down to two or three provincial organisers working from home or from the offices of other organisations. TAC staff added that they had been told that they could re-apply for these positions but that many employees won't qualify for new positions.
"They want people who are skilled," said one staff member who asked to remain anonymous. "For example, for a district organiser they want someone with diplomas in project management and communications and that's the lowest position.
"TAC was never about skills, it was about the experience of people working in community mobilisation," he said.
He added that some provincial staff members were willing to take smaller salaries in the hopes that more people could be employed.

"We said rather than employ a few people, we'd rather have a lot of people sharing that money but they said that would too much – that management, it's burdensome," he added. "They said people must volunteer.
How do you want some people to work for free while people at the national office are earning so much?"
The staff member also alleged that budget documents circulated internally suggest that TAC's new slimmed down structure will be top heavy.
He said that the move to restructure has sparked fears among some of the organisation's more than 8,000 members.
The staff member said the provincial offices usually follow up with medicine depots to on reported drug stock outs or health facility managers when patients report poor treatment: "Without us, people will die in their separate corners along because no one will speak for them."
However in response to questions regarding TAC's downsizing, Yawa stressed that even in a more streamlined form, TAC will continue with campaigns such as medicine stock outs, silicosis among miners, and mismanagement within the public healthcare system."
"TAC will continue with its mandate of serving the interests of the mostly poor users of the public healthcare system in South Africa," he said "As TAC, we are not taking this as a setback,
but as a stepping stone in the history of our struggle of saving lives and ensuring that those who are in need of treatment for HIV, tuberculosis, or any other disease are able to get that treatment."
"As a membership-based organisation, it is important for us to consult at length with all our branches before we can do anything and that is what the leadership is currently doing," he added. – Health-e News.

The transfer expected in and out of the Emirates Stadium this summer.
Arsenal's 2013/14 season ended on a high on Saturday as they beat Hull City 3-2 in the FA Cup final to end what was approaching a nine year trophy drought.
Coupled with another fourth placed finish and therefore a Champions League place for next term and the last 12 months have been considered a success by many.
However, after spending a club record £42.4m on Mesut Ozil last summer and topping the Premier League table for more days than anyone else this campaign, many fans are frustrated that the team didn't do better.
It's thought to be a busy period of transfers at the Emirates Stadium ahead and here are five in and five out for the Gunners.
Deployed in a new deeplying playmaker role, Arteta appears to have come unstuck in north London and no longer is the Spaniard the attacking threat of previous years.
Defensively the 32-year-old is somewhat suspect and as he enters the final year of his current contract manager Arsene Wenger may choose to make some money off him while he can.


Using the Flash Remoting service of ColdFusion, ColdFusion developers can work with Flash MX 2004 designers to build Flash user interfaces (UIs) for ColdFusion applications. Building Flash UIs requires the separation of user interface code from business logic code. You build user interface controls in Flash, and you build the business logic in ColdFusion.
When you are planning ColdFusion application development with Flash UIs, remember the importance of separating display code from business logic. Separating display code from business logic enables your ColdFusion applications to interact with multiple client types, such as SWF applications, web browsers, and web services.
When you build ColdFusion applications for multiple clients, your ColdFusion pages and components return common data types, including strings, integers, query objects, structures, and arrays. Clients that receive the results can process the passed data according to the client type, such as ActionScript with Flash, or CFML with ColdFusion.
To use the Flash Remoting service with ColdFusion, you build ColdFusion pages and components or deploy Java objects. In ColdFusion pages, you use the Flash variable scope to interact with SWF applications. ColdFusion components (CFCs) natively support Flash interaction. The public methods of Java objects are also available to the Flash Remoting service.
Enforcement of strict data typing, which requires you to declare the data types of variables and prohibits you from assigning different types of data to them.
Enforcement of case sensitivity, which means that myvar and myVar are two different variables, though they were considered the same variable with different spellings in ActionScript 1.0.
A new Connection class that helps you create and use Flash Remoting connections.Note: The Connection class supersedes the former NetConnection class.
A new PendingCall object returned on each call to a service method that is run using the Service object. The PendingCall object contains the responder property, which you use to specify the methods to handle the results of the service call.
A new RelayResponder class, which specifies the methods to which the result and fault outcomes of a service call are relayed.
A RecordSet object that contains new properties (columnNames, items, and length), new methods (clear(), contains(), editField(), getEditingData(), getIterator(), getLocalLength(), getRemoteLength(), isEmpty(), and sortItems()), and the new modelChanged event.

I am currently trying to create a script to implement in ArcGIS to convert Ellipsoidal heights to Orthometric heights. The idea is to make the height conversion to the data as it is checked in to the program. The height transformation of single points or lines is straight forward, however it becomes more of an issue when dealing with multiple vertex's in polygon's. Just wondering if anyone had any experience in dealing with some sort of similar situation? Any guidance is appreciated.

After the Admissions Scandal, Who Will Get Extra Time on the SAT?
The admissions debacle brought to light another way wealthy families game the system—by unfairly getting special accommodations for college entrance exams. But that's only part of the problem.

Rick Singer may go down in history as the only college counselor to give this advice to his clients: Act stupid. That was how he wanted students to behave when seeking an evaluation for learning disabilities. The goal? Secure extra time on college entrance exams, something that helps level the playing field for kids with genuine needs but has also been shown to help medium- to high-ability students improve their SAT scores.
After the Operation Varsity Blues scandal broke, many kids with legitimate learning disabilities, not to mention their parents and advocates, were in an understandable uproar over the revelations. After such a high-profile abuse of the system, would it become even more difficult to get the extra time they needed? "Students with disabilities are concerned when…what they need to level the playing field is made a mockery of by people using it when they don't need it," says Nancy Duggan, executive director of Decoding Dyslexia Massachusetts.
In the end, they breathed a collective sigh of relief when it appeared the companies that administer the SAT and ACT weren't planning to tighten or restrict the process for receiving extra time. But the issue of students bending the rules lived on in the media, as revelations emerged of surprisingly high percentages of children in some largely white and wealthy school districts—including Newton—with learning disability designations.
Still, advocates insist the debacle has actually obscured a much more troubling problem. "The bigger scandal is that lots of kids aren't getting the accommodations they need," says Monica McHale-Small, vice president of the Learning Disabilities Association of America. In reality, she and Duggan say, the numbers of kids in privileged districts who get accommodations isn't so high, but it is frightfully low in less-privileged schools.
In fact, in the midst of the uproar over students who sought extra time on college entrance exams for disabilities they didn't have, few people noticed a Government Accountability Office report, released in April, that found thousands of children with disabilities were being overlooked for special education services to which they're entitled. By law, states and public schools are responsible for identifying and evaluating students with disabilities, and the effectiveness of this varies from place to place. In many cases, if parents don't have the resources to advocate for their children or to pay for expensive private testing, kids don't get provisions—including extra time on standardized tests—that would help them reach their full potential.
Given that it seems who gets extra time and who doesn't is yet another way the college application process is unfair, maybe it's time to consider an idea that gets floated every now and then: Eliminate time limits on exams altogether. That way, everyone will have equal opportunity to succeed.

Mario Giacomelli was a prolific image-maker from the mid-1950s until his death in 2000. A self-taught photographer, he had little concern for archival storage of his work, often letting prints pile up in disorderly stacks around the darkroom. The present owner, a friend and fellow photographer, learned to print with Giacomelli in his darkroom.
This and the following six photographs (lots 41-48) were gifted by Giacomelli to the present owner in the 1960s. The seventh, lot 48, was gifted in the mid-1970s.
Szarkowski, Looking at Photographs: 100 Pictures from The Museum of Modern Art, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, p.185, dated '1963'; Mario Giacomelli, The Friends of Photography, Carmel, 1983, p.42, dated '1959'; Mario Giacomelli: Prime Opere: Vintage Photographs 1954-57, Photology, 1994, p.14; Frizot (ed.), The New History of Photography, Könermann, 1998, p.629; Crawford, Mario Giacomelli, Phaidon, 2001, p.295, no.20.
Fig.1: According to Simone Giacomelli of the Giacomelli Estate, the photographer began using the 'via Mastai 24' credit stamp, which includes a postal code, in the mid-1960s.
It is not the individual photo that's important to me, but the series, the story.

NFTC Welcomes U.S.-India Agreement on Trade Facilitation Agreement
Washington DC – Today, the National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC) welcomed news of an agreement between the United States and India on a path forward for implementing the World Trade Organization (WTO) Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA).
"Today's announcement of an agreement between the United States and India signals significant progress toward implementing the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement," said NFTC President Bill Reinsch. "We commend Ambassadors Froman and Punke for their leadership in securing this step forward, and for the Administration's commitment to advancing the rules-based global trading system."
In July, when the TFA implementation reached an impasse, the NFTC called on WTO members to seek a solution that would enable the agreement to proceed, citing the importance of modernizing trade rules through agreements such as the TFA.
"Today's announcement is good news, but we'll wait to celebrate until the political commitment is finalized and economies move to implement the provisions of the agreement," said NFTC Vice President for Global Trade Issues Jake Colvin. "As the dust settles on this agreement, it'll be important to take a fresh look at new pathways that will enhance the credibility of the negotiating function at the WTO and avoid a situation where one or a small handful of countries is able to undermine the aspirations of the WTO's membership at large."
NFTC is Celebrating our New Century in 2014! Details at www.nftc.org The National Foreign Trade Council (www.nftc.org) is a leading business organization advocating an open, rules-based global trading system. Founded in 1914 by a broad-based group of American companies, the NFTC now serves hundreds of member companies through its offices in Washington and New York. Follow us on:


LEVITTOWN, Pa., Feb. 11, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StoneMor Partners L.P. (NYSE:STON) ("StoneMor") announced today that it has priced 2,000,000 common units representing limited partner interests in StoneMor at a price to the public of $24.45 per unit. The offering was increased from the previously announced level by 200,000 common units.

StoneMor expects the offering to close on February 14, 2014, subject to customary closing conditions and as described below. StoneMor expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $46.1 million (or approximately $53.1 million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase an additional 300,000 common units), after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses in connection with this offering.
StoneMor intends to use the net proceeds from the common units it is offering to pay down borrowings outstanding under its existing credit facility. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional common units, StoneMor will use the additional net proceeds to pay down borrowings outstanding under its credit facility. Amounts to be paid down under StoneMor's credit facility were incurred for acquisitions and general partnership purposes, including for working capital needs and to fund StoneMor's capital expenditure program.
The offering may be made only by means of a prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The offering will be made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement, which was previously filed by StoneMor with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and a prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus, which will be filed by StoneMor with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Just in case you've never bought a property before, within this blog post we will briefly explain what Stamp Duty is and how it may affect you.
Stamp Duty is a tax paid to the government, that is applied when buying a property – this is charged on all purchases of flats, houses, apartments, bungalows and land etc.
This tax can see property buyers paying a hefty chunk into the tax mans coffers – thankfully for most people that amount will shrink thanks to the new changes to Stamp Duty that the government have just implemented.
George Osborne, the chancellor of the exchequer, has replaced the old 'slab' system of property bans with a new sliding scale which sees Stamp Duty rising steadily in line with the value of a property.
Theoretically, according to the treasury, approximately 98% of home buyers should find them selves better off and first time buyers should find it a bit easier to get on the property ladder. On the other hand, wealthy property purchasers should see a notable increase in the amount of Stamp Duty they will have to pay if buying an expensive home.
If you are considering buying a home, you may want to take a look at the information below in order to get a good idea of the new rates of Stamp Duty you will be expected to pay.
If you're looking for a property to buy, we have plenty available, you can see what's on offer by checking our property listings. If you've got any questions about buying or selling procedures here at Padgett's or have questions about how Stamp Duty could affect you, our team would be happy to help.

Q: How to categorize this phrase. Relative clause, Interrogative clause, Adverbial clause? What is "Where to go" in the sentence "Where to go is the question."
Is it a adverbial phrase or a relative clause?
And what is "Why go" in the sentence "Why go when you can stay?" - is it a clause?

A: Where to go is the question.
I would change to normal word order: The question is where to go.
And I would say the subject is "the question" and "where to go" the complement to  the verb form "is" (linking verb to be +complement).
"where to go" has of course the sense of "where one/we should go".
The question may arise how such a shortened question with a question word and a to-infinitive came into being. I would say from formulas such as
1 where it is possible for us to go
2 where it is advisable (for us) to go
3 where we are expected to go.
Such formulas as part of a sentence were so frequently used that they were shortened
in the course of time.
As to the question how to call the part "where to go" (Relative clause? Adverbial clause?), it is of course a question clause (shortened) embedded in a sentence and functioning as complement to the linking verb.
It can't be a relative clause, as a relative clause is a sub-element to a noun/noun group as in "The artist who created  "I carceri" was Piranesi.
And it can't be an adverbial clause as such clauses answer the question when was it as in
When winter came life got hard for the animals of Manor Farm.
There are a lot of adverbial clauses answering when/why/to what purpose etc.

A: Re the second question
"Why go when you can stay?"
I would parse "why go" as an independent interrogative clause, and would understand it in one of two ways, depending upon whether it was a direct address (you) or a general question about people and the choices available to them that happened to use "you" to mean "one".
YOU
Why (do you opt to) go, when you can stay?
Why (do you opt to) leave now, when you can stay the night here with us? We could drive you to the airport in the morning.
ONE
Why walk, when you can ride?
Why (would anyone opt to) walk, when one could ride?
Why take the local, when you could take the express?

A:
"Where to go is the question."

The obvious answer is that "where to go" is an embedded question.  If other answerers said this, sorry, I missed it.

A: Where to go is a wh-clause. It is also the subject of the sentence.

A: Where to go is the question.
Let us look at the subjetive phrase in parts.
"Where", an adverb of place like 'here', ' there', 'near', 'above' etc.
"To go", a simple infinitive verb modified by 'where'; and infinitives are, amongst others, used as subject of a verb.
Together the subject phrase is adverbial in construction. It explains the 1st.question.
The 2nd. question.
Why go when you can stay?
It is a complex interrogative sentence and the interrogation is embedded in the clause, " Why go".
We can view this clause as elliptical form of--Why do you go?--or may regard it in the original form as in the question with the "?" Query mark as its integral part.
In speech, day to day parlance or literal writing, INTONATION matters. It has the power to make a simple statement question or exclamation.
So, " Why go?/why (you) go?/why do you go?-- is the principal clause (interrogative ) of this complex sentence.

A: In a comment, John Lawler wrote:

Where to go is a peculiar species of compressed wh-clause with infinitive and deleted arguments instead of having a subject and a tensed verb. It almost always indicates a modal in the semantics -- Where to go means where one should go, and Where to go? means where should one go?, for instance. The same is true for relative infinitive clauses -- the man to see means the man one should see. In Where to go is the question, it's a noun complement clause because it's the subject. In Why go when you can stay? it's the main clause, deleting 'should you', though I have no idea how.

When you head out to the shopping malls over the coming weeks, your biggest safety concern may be dealing with the throngs of people filling the aisles. But there's one thing you need to approach in the most cautious manner possible, and that's purchasing toys for your children.
Labels are on toys for a reason, but sometimes even those aren't adequate. Toys get recalled for seemingly benign oversights that can nevertheless pose serious safety hazards to children. Take into account your child's maturity level before any purchase, and for the utmost protection, you may think about the insights provided in a safety guide from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Understanding the hazards that may unknowingly be posed by a given toy is essential, starting with small parts. If a toy has small parts, it should have a label outlining that it's only to be used by kids over the age of three. Where this becomes somewhat complicated is if your home has an older child and a younger one who tend to intermingle their toys. Do what you can to minimize exposure to small objects, even if that means separating play areas or avoiding those toys that have small parts until all children are the appropriate age.
Anything with a string is likewise going to be potentially dangerous to a child under a certain age. Something like a small pull-toy looks cute, but the string can get wrapped around a child's neck. You also have to use caution with clothing that has drawstrings. Such a component should not be on such an article of clothing for youngsters, but the presence of it leads to recalls every year.
You also have to be wary of anything that could pose a laceration hazard, the type of risk that usually happens when an otherwise safe toy gets worn down or broken. Suddenly, sharp plastic edges could now pose a threat to your child, and the best way to guard against this threat is to keep tabs on your child's toy usage. Although a child may throw a fit if you try to take a favorite toy from them, you may be able to repair it so that they won't get hurt.
There are also limits to how loud a given toy should be, and while most toys should adhere to these, there's always the risk that a child could bring an item too close to their ears. This is an especial danger with things like cap guns.
Finally, no matter what you purchase for your children for the holidays, make sure that all items are stored in an adequate manner. That way, tripping isn't a possibility. Also invest in a toy chest that would be safe for your children (it won't snap shut, it has air holes in case a child gets trapped inside).

Self conscious about hair loss?
Whilst hair loss is a common result of the natural ageing process, often it can be premature, patchy or in some cases severe due to illness, hormonal changes and other medical factors out of your control. Losing your hair can often have an overwhelming effect on your self esteem and body image so our aesthetic artists will take care to personalise your consultations and treatments to ensure you leave feeling like the best version of yourself.
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy for hair regeneration is a non-invasive practice which utilises your body's built-in healing abilities, using activated platelets to stimulate hair regrowth. A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, centrifuged and purified. The Platelet-Rich plasma, containing the seven growth factors conducive to collagen production and hair regeneration, is then reintroduced to the scalp under sterile conditions, enacting microcellular repair which results in new hair growth.
The human body is covered in hair follicles, aside from a few areas such as the palms of the hands and the lips. Our hair is made up of tiny shafts of a protein called keratin which are 'rooted' by hair follicle cells. Our follicle cells contribute oxygen, nutrients, and lubrication with the oily element sebum, all of which help to produce strong, healthy, long-lasting strands of hair.
Hair is constantly in a cyclical process of growing, resting and renewing, with the entire process taking around three years per hair. Hair loss occurs when the growth cycle slows down, and hairs stop developing at the same length and frequency. The 'rest' period becomes more extended, and so hair growth diminishes, eventually neglecting to enter the renewal stage.
PRP Therapy for Hair Regeneration is a process, as opposed to a stand-alone treatment. A minimum of 3-4 procedures is required for best results and a bi-annual maintenance appointment is recommended every six months.
During your consultation, one of our aesthetic artists will discuss the areas of concern and create a bespoke treatment plan for you based on your desired outcome and further preventative hair loss treatments.

The independent media are arguably more important than ever today, as corporate media's line reads increasingly like a government press release rather than a free society's analysis of the day's important events. But there's a lot to sort through: Independent news magazines and newspapers, local cable TV access, and independent and micro-transmitted radio are everywhere, offering a vast array of news, opinions, and information. New Indymedia activists alone now have direct links to more than sixty-five grassroots news sites around the world. The challenge we are faced with is twofold: We must make these news sources widely accessible, but we must also find ways to compile, sort, and collectively release this real news to millions of people. Media activist newsgroups like the Asheville Global Report and the North Bay Progressive, which publish local newspapers that summarize and consolidate real news for thousands of people, are working examples of how to get the job done.
In this new contacts-packed guide to alternative media and activism, Project Censored director Peter Phillips provides information on how to get in touch with hundreds of key websites, activist organizations, and national and regional media organizations that provide more independent, informative, and interesting analyses than the mainstream is willing to offer. Most of the independent news sources listed in this resource guide are willing to share stories with local publications for reprinting and broadcast if full credit is given. An invaluable guide for diversifying your access to information.

Save Money by Fixing it Yourself?
If the repair is something minor, you can take care of it yourself by using a few tools around the house and some instructions you get off the internet. This is one of the reasons that it is important to have at least a basic supply of tools on hand—hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, etc. If the repair requires something you don't have, don't panic! If it requires something you think you might use again, simply add it to your tool collection. Shop around for bargains and discount codes to help you save money.
Admit it: you like the idea of shopping for tools. It's okay—most homeowners do!
Save Money by Hiring a Friend?
If you have a friend, relative or colleague who is especially handy, perhaps that person can fix the damage for you (and can teach you how to do it as well). The great thing about getting help from a friend is that you can usually pay them in food and future favors instead of in cash (though make sure your homeowner's insurance still covers you if your friend gets hurt while helping you out).
Sometimes, unfortunately, a professional is needed to help you fix damage or to repair something that was broken. For example, most plumbing problems require a professional's hand. Electrical and wiring issues are best left to the pros as well. But that doesn't mean you have to pay through the nose for them!
If you are able, spend some time shopping around in your area for people who will give you the best deal. Use sites like Angie's List to figure out which pros in your area are worth the expense.
Check around for coupon codes. It's true! There are discount codes for trade professionals now. A lot of independent professionals will offer these codes to attract new clients and customers.
You will be amazed at how many service professionals are happy to offer you a deal if you simply ask for one. Explain your situation. Perhaps they have a payment plan you can use to your advantage. Perhaps they can do the most important part of the project and then let you do the aesthetic finishing up to help reduce the rate. Maybe they will simply offer you a lower price in exchange for your agreeing to refer your friends to them in the future.
Things break and need to be fixed. If you own your home, these repairs can quickly become expensive if you don't know what you're doing. Use these tips to help yourself save some money!

| God speaks in everything, even a Diaper Change!
But honestly? Sometimes things really do get worse before they get better. My recent Bible study on the phrase "it is better" was quite educational—in fact, I uncovered the idea that many of the feel bad things in life are actually "better" for us. So, the question becomes how can things that we think of as bad, actually be better?
The answer is unearthed by diving into God's word and searching out His meaning by these words.
Let's come at the following texts afresh together looking to hear from God!
Yep. You read that right. King Solomon said it. And it's in the Bible, so it's true.
There's MORE! Click here to pop over to arabahjoy.com see the rest!
Maybe you are jaded and maybe you h-a-t-e February 14th.
You might be the proverbial Scrooge of Valentine's Day (aka "Love Day"), and it is ". . . all humbug, HUMBUG, I tell you!" as far as you are concerned.
Maybe the thought of lovers/friends exchanging flowers, stuffed animals, balloon bouquets, and chocolate in heart-shaped boxes makes you sick to your stomach.
The mere thought of love might even bother you. Images of foot-popping kisses, mushy-gushy chatter, and making "googly" eyes makes you want to roll your eyes.
Take heart (pardon the pun), you aren't alone in the contempt for all things "Valentine." The disdain for setting aside a particular day to show off expressions of love measured by human standards is understandable. The sentiment is shared by many.
And love? With all the mixed emotions and messages about what it really is, inevitably there are some bad thoughts associated with merely breathing the word. Not to mention all the misrepresentations people concoct while on a genuine search for love.
Is it possible the negativity we may feel surrounding this day comes from a false representation of love?
If so, then what is love . . . really?
In fact, when we try to express the meaning of love apart from God's word, we end up with a twisted concept. Then we can scarcely recognize true love even when we are "shot through the heart" with it.
Interestingly enough, the next phrase is "not that we loved God." And yet, God sent love to us through His Son, Jesus, while we were unloving, undeserving, and downright rebellious.
What is the essence of God sending His Son?
The ultimate sacrifice of death can be the greatest example of love there is, but what's the big deal? People die every day, and some even give their lives in the name of love. Why is Christ's death set apart?
Left alone in our sinful, rebellious state, we are alienated from God, facing eternal wrath. Our sins require atonement and our relationship with God is in need of mending.
Enter a perfect, spotless lamb of sacrifice that God is pleased to accept on our behalf.
God is the initiator of love and He proved His love by providing what we need most. We need a Savior. We need atonement for our sinfulness so we can be reconciled to God.
And Jesus satisfied the price tag of our penalty. He bore the shame we had earned on our behalf. This expression of love doesn't compare with a dozen roses sent to the office, or a romantic meal with someone special.
But God's "Love Day" invitation?
It goes out to everyone.
There is love to be found—true love.
God gave us the ultimate love letter in the pages of His word. We are seen by Him and provided for.
And He extends the greatest gift of love to each of us that is available 24/7 if we will but by faith believe.
My heart just wasn't in it.
As I sat warming the wooden bench at church camp, the Gospel message was sprinkled around the room. I counted the cost that sticky night as a 10-year-old girl. I had other plans that would interfere with waving the white flag for Jesus sake.
"Not now," I breathed in my young ignorance. I arrogantly believed I had plenty of time to follow Jesus whenever I was done with all the (sinful) things that I wanted to do first. I whole-heartedly obeyed the only master I ever knew—sin.
Sin in our hearts opposes obedience from the heart.
So what exactly does Christ's death do for us?
Marinate in that thought for a second or three.
Okay, I admit it. I am the first one to become nostalgic this time of year.
Songs with the sound of bells tinkling playing over department store speakers melts my little heart into a puddle. All I have to do is smell a little cinnamon while looking at Christmas decorations to feel that "It's Christmas time again" feeling, and it doesn't even matter that there are cobwebs and witches on the next aisle. I get giddy when I see snowmen and Christmas trees pop up in the mall, and I love the big puffy metallic bows on shiny gifts and stockings overflowing their capacity.
I confess. I'm a sucker for all things Christmas.
And yet I feel guilty, because I get so carried away with the holiday festivities, I need a microscope to find Jesus in all of the fanfare.
I scrambled to fill the gaping hole her words left behind.
Those messages she wouldn't respond to were pleas laced with prayer and hope that we'd be restored to friendship. But now, four years of hoping and praying later, nothing. If anything, it feels like the chasm only grows deeper and wider with each passing day.
I admit it was complicated. Our pastor (and my husband) was all but kicked out of the church. There was intense emotional wreckage in the wake of his resignation. I thought sisters knitted together in Christ could weather the storm together, but she wanted to get away from the storm even if it meant getting away from me.
Truth: Our earthly relationships are never going to be all sunshine and pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows. No way. We'll all have tough times, empty space and hurt. But I know this—God has enough love to heal our hurts and enough grace to fill our empty space.
I totally get David's heart in Psalm 55 when he writes "For it is not an enemy who taunts me—then I could bear it." He aches that loyal ones have turned against him. In the blink of an eye, my faithful friend turned away, too—and it was unfathomable.
David "cast his cares" on our trustworthy God to lift him out of sorrow, and as promised, the Lord sustained him. The Lord sustains us, too. My friend fell short, but the best friend I'll ever have is Jesus. And it's humbling. I've never been as good a friend to anyone as Jesus is to me. Not ever.
Jesus is the only thing that can cauterize our hurting hearts. Jesus loves us when we're hard to love. Jesus loves us when we reject Him—even to the point of death on a cross. He loves my sister-friend the same way.
Sadly, there's no happy ending for my friend and me. Just the hope that when Christ comes back all that's broken will be mended. What's lost will be found. Hurting hearts will be healed—forever.
Until then, I pray in the power that overcame the grave. I pray that my friendship will be revived one sweet day this side of eternity.

The Arctic's 'Carbon Bomb' Could Screw the Climate Even More
How to Disinfect Everything
Symptoms and Testing
Kate Yoder
Arctic permafrost, a "sleeping giant" of greenhouse gases, is melting faster than expected and could release 1.5 trillion tons of carbon dioxide.
Dave Walsh/VW Pics/Getty Images
This story was originally published by Grist and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration.
Even in a dream-come-true scenario where we manage to stop all the world's carbon emissions overnight, the Arctic would inevitably get hotter and hotter. That's according to a new report by UN Environment, which says the region is already "locked in" to wintertime warming of 4 to 5 degrees C (7.2 to 9 degrees F) over temperatures of the late 1900s.
The report, released at the UN Environment conference in Kenya on Wednesday, says that the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the planetary average, and models show that it's on track to become ice-free during the summer as soon as 2030.
That's the bad news. So here's even worse news: The Arctic contains much of the world's permafrost, which holds what the report calls a "sleeping giant" made of greenhouse gases. As the ground warms, the microbes in the soil wake up and start belching greenhouse gases. Estimates vary, but the report says 1.5 trillion tons of carbon dioxide lurk beneath the Earth's permafrost. That's more than 40 times as much CO2 as humans released into the atmosphere last year, and double the amount of the gas in the atmosphere today.
The WIRED Guide to Climate Change
If that permafrost stayed permanently frozen, as the word itself suggests it should, we could continue worrying about other stuff. But researchers expect Arctic permafrost to shrink 45 percent compared to today. Unleashing that stored-up carbon dioxide and methane would obviously "derail efforts" to limit warming to 2 degrees C (3.6 degrees F) as outlined in the Paris Agreement, the report says. But then again, it would derail pretty much everything.
"New evidence suggests that permafrost is thawing much faster than previously thought, with consequences not just for Arctic peoples and ecosystems, but for the planet as a whole because of feedback loops," the report states.
This is one of the runaway warming scenarios, often called the "carbon bomb" or "methane bomb." (Permafrost holds both greenhouse gases.) Unlike a real bomb, however, it wouldn't explode all at once. And at least one recent study suggests that we still have time to defuse it.
Within the Arctic, the soil formerly known as permafrost—let's call it "meltafrost"—could pose a danger to 70 percent of current infrastructure by 2050, as well as the region's 4 million inhabitants, 10 percent of whom are indigenous. Recent studies have shown that permafrost thaw could cause houses to collapse, lead to uneven roads, and threaten important cultural and archaeological sites.
The North Pole runs warmer than the rest of the planet because of a phenomenon called Arctic amplification—basically, a region-specific term for feedback loops. "When sea ice melts in the summer, it opens up dark areas of water that absorb more heat from the sun, which in turn melts more ice," the report explains.
These rapid changes in the Arctic might seem far away, but you will feel them too. For those on the coasts, keep in mind that the melting of Arctic glaciers and Greenland's ice sheet makes up a third of sea-level rise around the globe. Rising seas will wreak havoc in coastal regions as they deal with flooding, damaged buildings, and saltwater contamination of drinking water sources.
And for those further inland, there's the wild weather. The melting of the Arctic causes changes in the jet stream and disrupts weather patterns much further south. It's been linked to worsening drought across the western United States, stalled hurricanes in the East, and the polar vortex that occasionally dips down over North America to turn us all into popsicles.
As many are fond of saying, "What happens in the Arctic does not stay in the Arctic."

Sociology at Strathclyde under the axe due to 'critical' stance
Originally published in Network, the magazine of the British Sociological Association.
Sociologists at the University of Strathclyde would like to thank our colleagues and supporters across the UK and around the world (including Professor Noam Chomsky) who signed petitions, wrote letters and spoke out to prevent the Sociology programme from being cut alongside Geography, Community Education and Music.
After university managers proposed 'disinvestment' in May 2011, a month-long consultation brought up compelling arguments about the importance of Sociology as a discipline. Supporters focused on its role in helping students develop critical thinking, citizenship and understanding of social issues, as well as highlighting the department's excellent reputation for public-interest research, knowledge exchange and high-quality teaching.
However, management, Senate and Court were unconvinced, voting in June for a 'phased withdrawal' from all four subject areas. Their reasons included a potential loss of income from cuts to the teaching grant, a 'lack of research critical mass' and a move to re-brand the university as 'MIT on the Clyde.'
In his letter of resignation, Professor David Miller (who will move to the University of Bath in January 2012) wrote, "In Sociology we were told that though we might be doing well in PhD numbers, grant income and research trajectory, we were not improving fast enough."
Between 2007 and early 2011, the department was subjected to several reviews and audits, all of which identified the problem of understaffing. External reviewers and university managers alike recommended additional senior-level research posts to increase 'output,' but these never materialised. By the 2011 consultation, such recommendations were re-framed as a 'high-risk strategy,' despite funding for dozens of new posts in other humanities and social science disciplines.
Reassurances that Sociology will not be eliminated completely, but 'reconfigured' to fit into a new Social Policy degree, offer little comfort. The future shape and staffing of this new programme are still unclear, though the Head of School has insisted that "Sociology will continue, but not in its current format."
Meanwhile, more than half the Sociology staff are on fixed-term contracts that end 30th June 2012, and even permanent staff have been notified that they are at risk of redundancy. Recruitment of new Sociology PhD students has been suspended, and both first-year Sociology and Social Policy are conspicuously absent from the 2012-13 prospectus.
Ultimately, though, the most troubling piece of news hints at a more fundamental threat to the discipline. The new Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences, Tony McGrew, appears to be the driving force behind the closures. According to Principal Jim McDonald, McGrew believes that Sociology at Strathclyde is "too critical," and not "mainstream" enough.
What does this kind of attitude mean for Sociology more broadly? In my research on the discipline in Scotland, I found that the vast majority of sociologists consider a critical perspective absolutely central to their practice and teaching.
Again quoting David Miller, "what is the point of an 'uncritical sociology' that is unable to conduct rigorous empirical research without fear or favour and to publish the results? This is – in my view – the only way that human knowledge can progress."
I am very disappointed to hear this news about the end of the Sociology degree at Strathclyde. I graduated from the department in 2003, and was extremely happy with the department in all respects. The quality of teaching and support was excellent, and I feel particularly thankful and indebted to two lecturers in the division, Terry Cox and Mo Rahman, for their exceptional support they provided me at the time within my studies.
I think it could go either way. The neubmr of academic journals is increasing, not decreasing, as is the need to publish for people who occupy professorial positions outside traditional research universities. In order for journals to go away, I think you'd need two things to happen: major works of scholarship to need start appearing in other forms (and by major I mean work that influences other scholars, rather than just those in the authors' own networks as of yet I've seen this happen with online journals like First Monday or open access journals like CJC but I can't think of a work of scholarship in any of the fields where I read that has yet achieved influence outside of a journal or book framework; I'm sure it will happen at some point) AND you'd need senior faculty who control the criteria for tenure, promotion and merit to start valuing alternative venues for publication (again, hasn't happened at research schools but probably will at some point). The only exception I can think of right now is work of facilitation or compilation THAT kind of digital humanities is getting recognition and having influence: RCCS, the eserver, Voice of the Shuttle, etc.
I'm focusing on other work at the moment, so not updating very frequently. But there's still plenty of material to read here!

In my post yesterday I talked about the reasons why simplistic comparisons of rural and urban living lead to concepts of a 'rural penalty' that are misleading. Here's a slightly more meaningful thought experiment to get at the differences between rural and urban living. Imagine yourself moving across different areas in Britain. In each area you'll live in roughly the same type of house (number of bedrooms etc) and you'll get paid the wages consistent with your experience, education etc. If you are going to stay living in areas where house prices are high relative to income, you better be getting compensated by some nice local amenities (e.g. pretty countryside, lower crime, etc). If you are going to stay living in areas which aren't very nice (e.g. polluted, run down, etc) you better be compensated by house prices that are low relative to incomes. In other words, the gap between house prices and incomes provides important information on the amenities offered by different locations.
What you can see from this is that it makes no sense to talk about 'a rural penalty'. There are a group of rural places that are high housing cost, low pay - but these are places we would associate with good amenities (e.g. West Cornwall). There are a group of urban and rural places (in the middle of the picture, below the 45 degree line) that offer higher incomes given the cost of housing. These places generally offer lower amenities (e.g. they are very remote or are old industrial towns). Finally, to the right of the picture there another group of (mostly urban) places where incomes are high, but housing costs are even higher. These places must offer some kind of amenities (e.g. good restaurants, easy access to good jobs and schools) to offset these low real wages. If they didn't, why would so many people live there?
The dashed line summarises the trade-off that we face in Britain as we move from low to high wage places. We can have high amenities, expensive houses and low income. We can have poorer amenities, cheaper houses and higher incomes. Or we can have high amenities, the highest incomes but the most expensive houses. Take your pick.
Lots of coverage today for the Commons Rural Affairs Committee report suggesting that country dwellers pay a rural penalty in access to services.
I accept that this is true for some services (e.g. broadband). However, the same report also tells us that many rural areas have very high house prices relative to income. This tells us that the countryside must provide a lot of amenities that make people willing to accept low real wages (as measured by the difference between house prices and incomes). In short, the data tell us that overall the countryside is a pretty nice place to live. I'm not sure in what sense this constitutes a rural penalty.
Of course, this is not to deny the fact that the countryside may not be such a nice place to live if you are poor. But then that's also true of most of our cities. What this teaches us is that, once again, simple comparisons between urban and rural areas are misleading and fairly pointless. We need to focus on individuals and families and understand the implications for different groups of different levels of public service provision.
The government has announced a £9.9bn boost to the economy as a result of the Olympic Games.
The 'detailed' UKTI report on which these numbers are based suggests this breaks down to include £5.9bn of additional overseas sales and a £2.5bn boost in inward investment. Unfortunately, it provides no information on how these figures are calculated. It is certainly not possible to figure out whether they are in any sense additional (i.e. would not have happened if the games had not taken place).
To my eyes, there is little evidence of a trend change around the time of the Olympics (individual components don't look much different as you can see from the original report).
In short, you should take these numbers with a pinch of salt. If anyone knows of more rigorous analysis I'd be happy to receive a pointer.
One thing on opportunity costs: Every time I ask someone from 'the north' whether they would rather have, say, £5bn spent in each of 8 cities outside of London or one HS2 line they (nearly) always prefer the former to the latter. Unfortunately, they don't think the money would be invested if HS2 scheme abolished so they continue to support the scheme even though they don't believe it represents good value for money. Again, very depressing.
Anyhow, let's hope that Mandelson's intervention the thin end of a very big wedge. We need a much more sensible debate on whether HS2 is the right way to spend money.

These are the types of projects I want to work on.
The magic happens with just the right amount of ignorance, skill, knowledge, and curiosity.
There really is no limits to what we can do together. I photograph portraits, behind the scenes event coverage, high-profile sports events, unique travel documentation, and everything in-between. I am a brand journalist always curious to explore limits. Both of a story, how we capture it, and how we tell it. Let's be honest, you creeped me on Instagram before getting here. You know what I am up for.
I want to be on an RV for The Speed Project in 2019. There, I said it. It's a story I want to tell properly, that deserves to be told properly, so if you have a team and want documentation, let's get talking.
There really is no playbook for a race like this, so covering it can be however we want to. Last year we made it work, and I fully expect this year to be no different, so just fire me an email.
We've all been watching. Shalane, Des, Jordan, Molly, but what about Stephanie, Allie, Gwen? It is shaping up to be a 10 deep lead pack in Atlanta, and I want to tell the story before it happens. You are a publication that wants to facilitate me travelling around America to check in on all the women.
Let me tell this story!
What, are you going to argue that it won't be an incredible race? Yeah, thought so. Let's see what it would look like to get me on the trail of this story. I've got a head start, but need some help.
It is evident that I have some big projects on the go, I also have a lot of small projects. These are a few traditional photographic services I offer in addition to photograph supported narrative journalism.
Feel free to reach out with any projects you want captured with camera.


As the earth warms, sea levels rise and super-storms become more frequent and intense, many of the world's major coastal cities may soon be under water. In the last five years alone, the United States has been hit with 83 hurricanes, devastating cities from New York to Houston.
Now, WNET's Peril and Promise initiative presents the new four-part documentary series Sinking Cities, which explores how four global cities are coming to grips with the real-time effects of rising seas and extreme weather. Many of the world's most vital and historic cities were built on the coast because of their accessibility to trade via rivers and oceans. But, as the planet has warmed, geography and development have left billions of people living in the shadow of an impending disaster. Through the stories of New York, Tokyo, London and Miami, Sinking Cities presents an urgent and eye-opening examination of what may be one of the biggest threats to human survival.
Featuring the world's foremost climate scientists, urban planners and expert engineers, each film presents what is unique about these cities when natural disaster strikes and examines the scientific and engineering challenges presented for the future. We also hear from those affected by a changing and extreme climate — how have they dealt with it and what are they doing to protect themselves for the future? The series also takes us deep inside the visionary, yet complex, infrastructure and engineering work already underway in each city to mitigate these current issues.
Discover how New York City – overwhelmed in 2012 by Superstorm Sandy – has learned from that disaster, and must defend itself against rising seas and the next big storm. With 520 miles of shoreline and no coastal protection, engineers and urban planners are tackling the problem with urgency and creative engineering. The premiere coincides with the sixth anniversary of Hurricane Sandy on October 29.

Q: Highcharts remove zoom feature Hello I am using Highcharts for displaying charts. The chart also uses zoom feature. I want to remove the zoom feature. Any ideas on what we can do to remove the zoom feature.

A: You can set the zoom level.
Under the chart element, you can use the zoomType property, and set the exact width and height as the original size. You could also try setting enable: false or setting the level to null.
More information can be found on the API documentation.

A: Simply attribute zoomtype property mentioned in chart.
I am sure if your chart is supporting zoom currently, then there must be zoomtypoe mentioned in its configuration.
Just set it to false.
chart:{
   zoomType : false
}

A: open highstock.js file. get the line with bellow code
if(!c.rendered&&(c.zoomText=e.text(i.rangeSelectorZoom,o,d.plotTop-10).css(g.labelStyle).add(),p=o+c.zoomText.getBBox().width+5,n(c.buttonOptions,function(a,b){h[b]=e.button(a.text,p,d.plotTop-25,function(){c.clickButton(b,a);c.isActive=!0}

and replace with this code
if(2==3&&!c.rendered&&(c.zoomText=e.text(i.rangeSelectorZoom,o,d.plotTop-10).css(g.labelStyle).add(),p=o+c.zoomText.getBBox().width+5,n(c.buttonOptions,function(a,b){h[b]=e.button(a.text,p,d.plotTop-25,function(){c.clickButton(b,a);c.isActive=!0}

this works for me. I hope works for you too
