5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. 6 God "will repay each person according to what they have done."[a] 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. 9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 11 For God does not show favoritism.
25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised. 26 So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law's requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised? 27 The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the[c] written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.

Dear Mr. Iverson, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you were not satisfied with your order, however our Pizzeria is always following the same recipes and quantity of ingredients. Unfortunately, if you choose to order home instead of eating on the place you risk that the freshness and the taste of pizza might be different to the one you get at TAT straight out the oven. Obviously, every kind of quality food cannot keep the same taste after delivery no matter how you package it. When it comes to carbonara, we dont cook it with parsley following the original recipe but we had a mistake on our webpage considering this ingredient which was already fixed. The egg is mixed with pecorino romano cheese making it one smooth souse. We appreciate your loyalty and would be glad to offer you with a free dessert next time you will come to visit us.

There are allot of factors that go into figuring out the cost of a private jet charter. Private jets charter by the hour. Hourly rates for aircraft can vary greatly. There are several reasons why hourly rates differ. The number one reason is most aircraft have different owners. Each owner has different financing arrangements and have different obligations. Aircraft positioning is another major factor. The aircraft best positioned for the mission will typically be the best price. The duration of the charter plays a major factor. Will the aircraft stay with you. Will it return and come back. Is it better to book two different one ways or empty legs. There are two pricing models that we use in the Industry. The Floating fleet pricing model and non floating fleet model. All aircraft have a two hour daily minimum charge.
The Empty Leg Alert feature is truly a revolutionary way to charter. The Empty Leg Alert feature allows you to shop for empty legs all over the world. Our online Empty Leg Alert rivals any private jet charter application on the market. There are no membership fees, no jet cards, just on demand empty legs from all over the world. Our system aggregates empty legs from vendors. It updates every two hours with new flights.
If you can't find what you're looking for, enter the routing you're looking for and our alert feature will send you an email when it finds a flight with matching parameters. In turn our agents will be alerted and immediately start calling and emailing vendors that might be transient or charter hungry. This feature helps you to consistently find the best aircraft for the mission with the least amount of repositioning.
How does the Empty Leg Alert feature work?
The Empty Leg Alert feature on our website pulls from the largest database of empty legs in the world. We also aggregate empty leg lists from our vendors that are updated into our software daily.
Input the routing that you are looking for and dates and our alert feature will send you an email with a private jet flight that matches those parameters. Our software has the ability to filter only flights that are relative to your routing. When you get an alert, just reply to our team and we can have a quote to you within the hour.
What are the issues with purchasing empty legs?
3. The probability of an actual flight existing for your exact date are very low – it's a gamble. It's like rolling the dice in Vegas!
What is a discounted private jet charter?
This is another fancy term for an empty leg. Typically one can save 35%-65% percent on a flight. The issue is that one has to be extremely flexible as you have to fly on the operators schedule and not your own. So you have to be willing to jump on a plane within 12-24 hours notice to really get a good deal.
An empty leg is an empty sector. Empty legs are caused when the company sells a round trip to a customer who only needs a one way. The management company sells the one way and takes the risk of selling the leg back to home base.
Empty legs can also be created by floating fleets who are trying to string together several flights. The positioning leg to get to their next revenue flight creates an additional leg that they can sell.
How far in advance should you book a private jet charter?
It is generally a good idea to plan a private jet charter flight about a week in advance, but some brokers can charter a flight it just a few hours. We can have you in the air about four hours after you book your flight with us.
Are apps the future of jet charter?
Apps will never replace an experienced jet charter broker. A good broker has a pulse on the market and pricing, knows what vendors have which types of aircraft in certain parts of a state, and knows which routes are most commonly run.
All current algorithms cannot react to demand, repositioning, and fluctuations in cost from aircraft to aircraft. These issues result in higher prices and potential inaccuracies.
What should I know about using an application for booking a private jet?
There are many private jet applications on the Apple Store or for Android phones. However, you may pay more for your flight if you use an app to book. There are too many variables in pricing to give accurate quotes, so private jet charter apps have to have a 20-40% margin of error embedded into them.
Aircraft are commodities and pricing fluctuates. If demand is high than prices go up, if the demand is low prices go low. Aircraft repositioning is also always a wildcard. The best app will be the one that has a strong brokerage or management company behind it.
How do you find the best private jet broker?
Typically brokers with more experience have better relationships and have access to more fleets than new guys. A couple of questions that you should ask: How long have they been doing business? What is the commission structure like? What are the terms of the agreement?
What is a private jet charter broker?
A private jet charter broker is a professional that works to match customers with the aircraft and itinerary that meets their needs. Private jet charter brokers have access to more aircraft than management companies. People that travel frequently often rely on private jet charter brokers to book all of their flights, as brokers are not limited by location or type of aircraft.
What is a private jet management company?
Private Jets are owned by corporations and individuals that require travel on a regular basis. Management companies are hired by these entities to handle the maintenance, pilot schedules, and flight planning. They handle all day to day operations and requirements to keep the jets airworthy.
If the owners decide to charter the aircraft in order to offset the costs, handling charters is also the responsibility of the management company.
How do you charter a jet?
Where can you fly on a private jet?
Private jets can fly into thousands of airports all over the world. Private jets can even use many airports that are not able to handle commercial aircraft. This means that you can often depart from an airport that is closer to home and fly into an airport that is closer to your destination when you fly private instead of commercial.
Is it possible to book just one or two seats on a private jet charter?
No, when you book a private jet charter, you are basically renting the entire aircraft. For this reason, it is more economical to fly with a group of people than to book a flight alone. Many view the privacy afforded by a private jet charter flight to be the greatest advantage over commercial flights.
A private jet charter flight is a flight that is flown under a part 135 certificate. As the term private suggest all aspects of flight are confidential and the payee gets to fly on the aircraft of his choice. The payee charters the aircraft in its entirety and is responsible for all charges associated with the flight.

University of Denver: Sexual Harassment Finding Violates Professor's Academic Freedom in the Classroom
Case Status Closed
Case Documents
In April 2011, veteran professor Arthur Gilbert was investigated for sexual harassment after two students anonymously submitted complaints stemming from his course "The Domestic and International Consequences of the Drug War." Gilbert's dean, Ambassador Christopher R. Hill, suspended Gilbert from campus while he was investigated by DU's Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity (ODEO) and Department of Human Resources. ODEO found that Gilbert would have created a hostile environment if his class had been a regular workplace, but acknowledged the special characteristics of the classroom environment and deferred judgment. Hill declared Gilbert guilty, however, without considering Gilbert's academic freedom or the subject matter and context of the course, and mandated that Gilbert attend "sensitivity training." Although a faculty panel criticized DU for violating Gilbert's academic freedom, DU Provost Gregg Kvistad upheld Hill's findings. Despite letters from FIRE and the DU chapter of the American Association of University Professors, DU has refused to reopen the case.

FONAR Announces Fiscal 2020 3rd Quarter and Nine Months Financial Results; Company Balance Sheet Remains Strong Amid COVID-19 Crisis
By: Fonar Corporation via GlobeNewswire News Releases
COVID-19 drastically affects imaging center scan volumes and delays installations of two MRI scanners until 1st Quarter of Fiscal 2021. Upon their completion, FONAR subsidiary, HMCA, will have 38 MRI scanners under its management.
Cash and Cash Equivalents were $31.0 million as of March 31, 2020.
Total Revenues-Net decreased 5% to $21.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, versus corresponding quarter one year earlier.
Income from Operations was $2.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Net Income was $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Diluted Net Income per Common Share Available to Common Stockholders was $0.18 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Total Current Assets were $91.4 million and Total Current Liabilities were $14.9 million at March 31, 2020.
Total Assets were $171.2 million and Total Liabilities were $45.6 million at March 31, 2020.
MELVILLE, N.Y., May 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FONAR Corporation (NASDAQ-FONR), The Inventor of MR Scanning™, reported today its financial results for the Fiscal 2020 3rd Quarter and Nine Months period ended March 31, 2020. FONAR's primary source of income and growth is attributable to its diagnostic imaging management subsidiary, Health Management Company of America (HMCA). In 2009, HMCA managed 9 MRI scanning centers; it currently manages 25 MRI scanning centers. The impact the COVID-19 crisis had on the Company during the 3rd Quarter is discussed under Significant Event and Management Discussion below.
Operating Results
Total Revenues-Net decreased 5% for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020 to $21.7 million as compared to $22.8 million for the corresponding quarter one year earlier. Total Revenues-Net for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2020 were $64.9 million as compared to $64.7 million for the corresponding nine-month period one year earlier.
Income from Operations, for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020, was $2.6 million, as compared to $6.6 million for the corresponding quarter one year earlier. Income from Operations, for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2020, was $13.1 million, as compared to $18.1 million for the corresponding nine-month period one year earlier.
Net Income, for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020, was $1.9 million as compared to $5.2 million for the corresponding quarter one year earlier. Net Income, for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2020, was $10.6 million, as compared to $14.6 million for the corresponding nine-month period one year earlier.
Diluted Net Income Per Common Share Available to Common Shareholders, for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020, was $0.18 as compared to $0.56 for the corresponding quarter one year earlier. Diluted Net Income Per Common Share Available to Common Shareholders, for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2020, was $1.10, as compared to $1.55 for the corresponding nine-month period one year earlier.
Total Costs and Expenses, for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020, was $19.1 million as compared to $16.2 million for the corresponding quarter one year earlier. Total Costs and Expenses, for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2020, was $51.8 million, as compared to $46.6 million for the corresponding nine-month period one year earlier.
Balance Sheet Items
Total Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short Term Investments at March 31, 2020 increased 7% to $31.1 million, versus $29.0 million at June 30, 2019. This compared positively to $30.7 million for the prior fiscal quarter at December 31, 2019.
A recent accounting pronouncement, Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, required a Right to Use Asset of $29.1 million, and a Lease liability of $31.1 million, to be recorded during the third fiscal quarter of 2020, representing the present value of future lease payments, less year-end deferred rent balances and any tenant improvements committed to by landlords. There are no comparable assets or liabilities recorded for prior periods. Details of ASU 2016-02 may be found in the Company's 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019.
Total Current Assets, at March 31, 2020, were $91.4 million, as compared to $85.1 million, at June 30, 2019.
Total Current Liabilities, at March 31, 2020 was $14.9 million, as compared to $14.1 million at June 30, 2019. Total Current Liabilities is impacted by the recent accounting pronouncement, specifically of the Lease liability – current portion of $3.2 million.
Total Assets, at March 31, 2020, were $171.2 million, as compared to $133.6 million at June 30, 2019. This includes the Right-of-use Assets-net of $29.1 million included in Fiscal 2020 but not included in Fiscal 2019.
Total Liabilities at March 31, 2020 were $45.6 million, as compared to $15.4 million at June 30, 2019. This includes Lease liability – net of current portion at $27.9 million and Lease liability – current portion at $3.2 million included in fiscal 2020. Lease liability – net of current portion and Lease liability – current portion were not included in fiscal 2019.
The Total Assets / Total Liabilities ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, was 3.8 compared to 8.6 as of June 30, 2019. This difference is predominantly due to the effect of the recently adopted accounting pronouncement, ASU 2016-02, which required $29.1 million of assets and $31.1 million of liabilities to be recorded at March 31, 2020.
Significant Event
The COVID-19 pandemic reached our shores in March, 2020, in FONAR's 3rd Quarter of Fiscal 2020, killing thousands, tumbling financial markets, and wreaking economic and social havoc across the country. On March 9, 2020, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DJI) dropped 1080 points, 3.8% of its value. By March 23, 2020 it hit a low of 18,213 points, a drop of over 10,000 points from where it was a little over a month earlier.
Governmental "shut-down" directives requiring the closing of all nonessential businesses quickly followed. With doctors' offices and healthcare providers deemed essential businesses, HMCA-managed sites, all of them located in New York and Florida, have been allowed to continue to serve patients in need of outpatient medical care. The FONAR MRI Scanner Service Department is also considered essential.
As a result of the pandemic, scheduled elective patient care, including surgeries, has been cancelled or postponed. Further, patients simply wary of contracting the coronavirus are cancelling, postponing or missing their doctor appointments. The unavoidable sight of closed nonessential businesses and the constant urging or demand for all to maintain social distancing or to shelter in place have heightened patient fear and concern. Consequently, patient volume at medical offices, the source of MRI referrals, has dropped precipitously. In turn, so has scan volume at all HMCA-managed sites: 21% less than projected, pre-COVID-19, for March and 56% less than projected for April, pre-COVID-19. It appears that scan volume for May will be less than projected as well.
However, with the state of Florida now is the process of "reopening" and with the state of New York expected to follow suit in the near future, the Company expects scan volume at all HMCA-managed sites to begin to rise steadily in the 1st Quarter of Fiscal 2021.
Management Discussion
Timothy R. Damadian, President and CEO, said, "Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic disruption, we planned to invest between $4 million and $6 million dollars at four (4) scanning centers in Fiscal 2020. In October, 2019, we installed a second MRI scanner in the facility we manage in Ormond Beach, Florida facility, and we expect to be installing by the end of June the first MRI in what will be a two-MRI facility in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 disruption has slowed down installations of second MRIs in two of the New York facilities we manage – one in Westchester County and the other in Suffolk County. Nevertheless, I am pleased that these two installations are now expected to be completed during the first quarter of Fiscal 2021. When all 3 are installed, we will have a total of 39 MRI under our management.
"The COVID-19 pandemic arrived in late March. For the safety of employees and patients, we immediately implemented sanitary procedures at FONAR headquarters and at all HMCA-managed sites and ordered additional Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) needed for protection from the virus. Where possible, headquarter employees are now working from their homes. Others, due to reduced workloads or restrictions that prevent them from doing their jobs as usual, have had their hours cut or have been furloughed.
"Once the states of Florida and New York are "reopened," the COVID-19 pandemic under control, and patients back to seeing their physicians, we are confident we will be once again thriving and growing. At this point in time, no one can predict when that will happen, but I eagerly look forward to seeing the end of the pandemic, our employees and their families healthy and safe, our furloughed employees returned to work, and office hours and patient volume at the sites back to where they were in March."
Mr. Damadian concluded, "We have a very strong balance sheet. With Cash and Cash Equivalents at $31.0 million and relatively little debt, the Company's liquidity puts us in excellent position to weather the storm and continue to grow for the foreseeable future."
Chairman of the Board, Raymond V. Damadian, M.D., said, "It's pleasing to see the Company continue to be profitable. My son, Timothy, and his highly experienced and competent management team, are doing an outstanding job. Since they took the reins in 2010, Total Revenues-Net has grown from $31.8 million to $87.2 million, representing an effective annual growth rate of nearly 12%. The total MRI scan volume at HMCA-managed facilities in calendar year 2009 was 29,000 and 189,000 in calendar 2019.
"The importance of the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI to the success of HMCA cannot be overstated," continued Dr. Damadian. "Physicians are seeing how the diagnostic information obtained from having their patients scanned in weight-bearing positions, such as sitting, bending or standing, can lead to treatment plans that result in better patient outcomes. Scanning patients in these positions is possible only on the patent-protected UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI. It is well known that the majority of MRI studies are of the spine, and it is widely reported that about 80% of adults experience low back pain at some point in their lifetimes. This explains why the UPRIGHT® MRI has gained traction in the medical community."
"Additionally, a significant portion of the patient population seeks to avoid their MRI exams in a claustrophobia-inducing "tunnel" or "tube" MRI, which is typical of most other MRIs. Most Upright® MRI patients are delighted to have their MRI scan while sitting and watching a wide-screen TV. This has been a highly-prized feature unique to FONAR and is supported by numerous patents that protect our technology from the large MRI competitors in the MRI industry. Perhaps a silver lining in the "COVID -19 black cloud", is the relative ease with which Fonar UPRIGHT® scanner surfaces, in close proximity to patients, can be much more easily sanitized and maintained than the "tunnel" or "tube" MRI scanners, with minimal exposure to staff and patients. We expect to continue to enjoy this competitive advantage well into the future."
Dr. Damadian continued, "Unfortunately, COVID-19 has delayed our R&D progress on MRI imaging of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow and its impact on cerebral degenerative diseases. Our research is focused on quantifying CSF flow and the velocity at which it navigates through the neck and head. We've been able to use quantitative CSF data collected from asymptomatic patients to identify the degree to which CSF flow impairment is responsible for the patient's symptoms and the degree to which the patient's surgical or non-surgical CCJ treatment has restored the patient's critical brain and central nervous symptom's physiology to normal. We use the UPRIGHT® MRI to make cines (movies) of the fluid (CSF) as it flows up and down the neck and around the brain. We are also hopeful that our research may lead to a new understanding of the role of CSF on neurologic diseases, such as MS and Parkinson's disease.
Dr. Damadian concluded, "Once the COVID-19 crisis is over and the economy returns to normal, there is every reason to believe that FONAR will continue to prosper."
About FONAR
FONAR, the Inventor of MR Scanning™, located in Melville, NY, was incorporated in 1978 and is the first, oldest and most experienced MRI company in the industry. FONAR introduced the world's first commercial MRI in 1980, and went public in 1981. FONAR's signature product is the FONAR UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI (also known as the STAND-UP® MRI), the only whole-body MRI that performs Position™ Imaging (pMRI™) and scans patients in numerous weight-bearing positions, i.e. standing, sitting, in flexion and extension, as well as the conventional lie-down position. The FONAR UPRIGHT® MRI often detects patient problems that other MRI scanners cannot because they are lie-down and "weightless-only" scanners. The patient-friendly UPRIGHT® MRI has a near-zero patient claustrophobic rejection rate. As a FONAR customer states, "If the patient is claustrophobic in this scanner, they'll be claustrophobic in my parking lot." Approximately 85% of patients are scanned sitting while watching TV.
FONAR has new works-in-progress technology for visualizing and quantifying the cerebral hydraulics of the central nervous system, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This imaging and quantifying of the dynamics of this vital life-sustaining physiology of the body's neurologic system has been made possible first by FONAR's introduction of the MRI and now by this latest works-in-progress method for quantifying CSF in all the normal positions of the body, particularly in its upright flow against gravity. Patients with whiplash or other neck injuries are among those who may benefit from this new understanding.
FONAR's substantial list of patents includes recent patents for its technology enabling full weight-bearing MRI imaging of all the gravity sensitive regions of the human anatomy, especially the brain, extremities and spine. It includes its newest technology for measuring the Upright cerebral hydraulics of the central nervous system. FONAR's UPRIGHT® Multi-Position™ MRI is the only scanner licensed under these patents.
UPRIGHT® and STAND-UP® are registered trademarks and The Inventor of MR Scanning™, Full Range of Motion™, Multi-Position™, Upright Radiology™, The Proof is in the Picture™, True Flow™, pMRI™, Spondylography™, Dynamic™, Spondylometry™, CSP™, and Landscape™, are trademarks of FONAR Corporation.

Citibank, Unilever Sri Lanka and Virtusa launch International Summer Program
Friday, 13 June 2014 00:00 - - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
AmCham supported Summer Program targets Sri Lankan students studying abroad
Citibank, Unilever Sri Lanka, and Virtusa, have combined forces with the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) to launch the International Summer Program (ISP) as a channel of attracting bright, young, Sri Lankan talent to their organisations. This summer program is targeted at Sri Lankan students who are studying in universities abroad, and will offer a structured, six-week program that allows them to gain hands-on experience at three premier corporates in Sri Lanka. The program will include induction sessions at all three companies and a focused project for four weeks in one of the companies, culminating in a presentation to a joint panel from the three organisations. During the program, students will also get the opportunity to develop themselves through personality and professional skill building sessions, and will get to interact with industry leaders and diplomats from the United States. They will also be involved in a fund raising initiative for a charity supported by AmCham, building on the commitment of all three companies to be responsible corporate citizens. Citibank, N.A. Colombo Country Human Resources Officer Samara Gunasekera said, "Citi's key strength lies in its employees and the value they create. It is important for us to continuously and consciously attract, sustain and retain individuals with high potential who would contribute to Citi's success. It is with this objective that Citi is partnering this International Summer Program." She further mentioned that the valuable experience the interns would receive through this program will increase their knowledge, while expanding their skills and aligning their professional expectations. This will also allow the companies tobenefit from fresh ideas that the interns may bring through their innovative and out-of-the box thinking. Unilever Sri Lanka Director – Human Resources and Corporate Relations Udayan Dutt said, "At Unilever, we believe that it is our responsibility to develop our country's talent to become the next generation of corporate leaders. Studying abroad offers these students a unique opportunity to add diversity to our talent pool. Given the opportunity to experience world class workplaces and the wide range of expertise and opportunities that Citibank, Unilever Sri Lanka, and Virtusa collectively have to offer, we hope these bright young minds will choose to return to and work in Sri Lanka after graduating, bringing the skills, knowledge, and global exposure they have acquired through their education, back into the country." Virtusa Director – Human Resources Chandi Dharmaratne, expressing her views on the program said, "Virtusa is indeed pleased to be a part of this program which blends harmoniously with our on-going student engagement initiatives. The International Summer Program offers Sri Lankan students studying abroad a rare opportunity to work with three global players and gain invaluable real-world exposure. At Virtusa, we offer an environment that values technological innovation, respects integrity, and stimulates enthusiasm. Working on projects that truly challenge and stimulate the mind, students will get a chance to interact with our diverse, multi-cultural teams spread across the globe. Further, with extraordinary growth opportunities across technologies and continents, the ISP would be a great first step towards a long, rewarding career at Virtusa." "AmCham is happy to partner with Citibank, Unilever Sri Lanka and Virtusa on this unique program. Most Sri Lankan children travel overseas for their higher studies and this initiative will help us to not only give these children an opportunity to experience global companies' innovation and best practices but to also see the potential Sri Lanka has to offer, giving them sufficient incentive to return to Sri Lanka on completion of their education," stated American Chamber of Commerce in Sri Lanka President Suren Rajanathan. Prospective applicants can find more information about the program through the AmCham website, and the application process will also be hosted in the same manner. To access the application and further details, please visit www.amcham.lk/isp or e-mail isp@amcham.lk.


In Our Own Image: the History and Future of Artificial Intelligence. A book that seeks to trace our instinctive fascination with "intelligent artefacts", such as robots, through myth, history and literature; and argue that the emergence of computer science and Artificial Intelligence is embedded in the philosophical tension between form and matter. As such, the dominant notions, fears and expectations, on AI are guided less by rational argument and more by subconscious cultural drivers.

Like many people I have enjoyed a variety of careers, though all focused on exploring and sharing new ideas and experiences.
I started out in educational book publishing, in marketing then as a publisher. I next moved to the Victorian Arts Centre as editor of their magazine promoting all the exciting activities at the performing arts centre. After a move to Sydney I continued in the media and the arts, with a stint at the Australian Film Institute promoting Australian independent cinema. Then I organised conferences and seminars for people working in museums and galleries and had my own arts consultancy for over 10 years, researching, organising public events, exhibition tours and producing publications for organisations as diverse as the NSW Ministry for the Arts, the Australian Museum, Sydney Living Museums/Historic Houses Trust. During this time I completed a diploma of sculpture at the National Arts School.
Then something clicked, and I undertook a Graduate Diploma in Counselling at the Australian College of Applied Psychology. Working with a community counselling service and as a co-facilitator at an anxiety and depression group opened my eyes to the benefits of counselling in creating real change in people's lives. This, combined with undergoing my own therapy showed me that this was the path I wanted to take. I then went on to do my Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy, undertaking in-depth research into the association between anxiety and writer's block.
In my private practice I now combine my interest in helping those with anxiety and depression with assisting creative people to perform at their best.

Genitalia in children's drawings: An association with sexual abuse
Roberta Hibbard, K. Roghmann, R. A. Hoekelman
Many sexual abuse victims have been observed to draw genitalia on human figures. To test the hypothesis that sexually abused children draw genitalia on human figures more often than do nonabused children, drawings from 57 children, 3 through 7 years of age, who were referred to child protective services as alleged sexual abuse victims, were compared with drawings from an age-, sex-, race-, and socioeconomically matched group of 55 nonabused children receiving well-child care in medical settings. A standardized procedure to obtain drawings was followed by a structured interview to collect demographic, past medical, and developmental information. Five evaluators unaware of the children's backgrounds independently examined drawings for the presence or absence of five body parts; there was 94% agreement for all body parts and 93% agreement for genitalia. Eight children were excluded from the analysis because they only scribbled (n = 5) or because evaluators could not agree on whether genitalia were present in their drawings (n = 3). Ten percent (5/52) of the alleged sexual abuse victims and 2% (1/52) of the comparison children drew genitalia (P = .10, one-tailed Fisher exact test). The estimated relative risk was 5.4; that is, alleged sexual abuse victims were 5.4 times more likely to draw genitalia than were comparison children. Children known to have been sexually abused were 6.8 times more likely to draw genitalia than were comparison children (P = .07, one-tailed Fisher exact test). It must be cautioned that, although the presence of genitalia in a child's drawing should alert one to consider the possibility of sexual abuse, it does not prove it, just as the absence of genitalia does not exclude abuse. The drawing of genitalia should sensitize providers and influence the effort directed toward exploring the possibility of sexual abuse.

17 Tips a Weight Loss Coach Won't Tell You for Free
Stacey FeintuchUpdated: Aug. 10, 2020
We asked weight loss coaches to reveal the practical, actionable secrets they share with their clients. Here's how to lose weight, according to the pros.
Secrets from weight loss coaches
Losing weight and maintaining it doesn't have to be a challenge. According to these weight loss coaches and experts, here are some secret tips to help you reach your goals.

Don't expect miracles
Instead of fantasizing about quick weight loss, you want to set realistic weight loss goals and then be prepared to stick with your diet plan for weeks, even months. "I tell clients that it takes four weeks to feel better, six weeks to see some differences, and really a full eight weeks to see a lot of changes and long-term results," says Phyl London, a Level IV Master Trainer specializing in Pilates and Group Exercise instruction who created Bodiphy®, a program that brings you through Pilates, Barre, strength, and alignment training. That means you need to stay on track even when the scale isn't budging—because it may start moving the following week!

Any diet works, as long as you stick with it
Low-carb or low-fat? Don't stress. Research published in JAMA in 2014 found that what diet you choose really doesn't matter if you want to lose weight. What's more important is that you actually follow it. Weight-loss differences between popular diets like Atkins, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, South Beach, and Nutrisystem—which were all among those included in the study—are minimal. And they have similar levels of effectiveness, researchers found.

If you bite it, write it
Before you overhaul your eating habits, try one of our best weight-loss tips: Record everything you drink and eat. Take advantage of apps and websites or use pen and paper. "This is the single most important thing you can do when you're watching your calories," says Paige Waehner, a certified personal trainer and author of The About.com Guide to Getting in Shape. "I have so many clients who think they're eating healthfully, but writing down every bite makes you aware of those extra calories you eat without even realizing it. Just an extra handful of nuts could cost you more than 100 calories."

Tell everyone about your campaign
Don't keep your weight-loss goals a secret. Improve your chances of weight-loss success by spreading the word to friends and family about your new diet. It will help motivate you and increase your accountability. "Almost no one succeeds without support from the people around them," says Malia Frey, MA, CPT, CHC, a health coach and personal trainer. "Asking for help is the most important part of your weight-loss program."

Know your areas of weakness
"Chocolate and ice cream can be in my house for days and I won't overeat them," says London. "But I can't have tortilla chips, pretzels, or pita chips in the house. Those are the kinds of foods that I'd overeat if I came home tired from a long day at work." Get rid of your triggers. Then, restock with healthy fare like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean meats, and low-fat dairy foods. And make those healthy foods easy to eat by displaying them in a beautiful bowl on the counter or pre-chopping them and storing them in clear containers in the fridge. (That's just one of the ways you can lose weight without a lick of exercise.)

Don't go all-out for every dinner
After a long hard day, most of us tuck into a large meal. However, some studies have found that this practice is linked to weight gain. When researchers had one group of people eat a bigger breakfast and smaller dinner, and another group eat the reverse, it was the big breakfast group that lost more weight, according to PLOS One. And people in the big dinner group actually ended up gaining weight.

Eat on red plates
To avoid overeating, try a scare tactic, courtesy of your dishware. Research in Flavour found that the plates you serve your food on impact your perception of taste and flavor. Charles Spence, author of Gastrophysics The New Science of Eating, found that red plates trigger an avoidance or danger signal that leads us to eat less. (Here are more simple tricks to help you eat less every time.)

Don't follow every trend
Sometimes what works best is what works best for you. "Don't assume that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, that you should eat every three hours to curb hunger, or that you shouldn't eat past 7 p.m.," says Frey. "These diet guidelines don't work for everyone." Instead, she suggests that you create and follow a meal routine that accommodates you and your needs. "Getting proper nutrition is the goal. The schedule by which you meet those needs is up to you."

Brush your teeth earlier
Have you ever brushed your teeth and then had a sip of orange juice? The beverage probably tasted sour and not too pleasing to the palate. That can work to your advantage when you're trying to avoid post-dinner munching. Try brushing your teeth earlier in the evening instead of right before bedtime. "After you brush your teeth, it's much less likely that you'll find yourself snacking on empty calories later in the evening," says Pete McCall, host of the All About Fitness podcast, personal trainer, strength coach, educator, and author.

Buddy up
The road to weight loss can be bumpy. Make the trip a bit smoother by finding someone you must be accountable to on your journey. "Support from others on a weight-loss journey helps tremendously," says Deb Gehringer, a CrossFit coach at Guerilla Fitness in Paramus, New Jersey. "You can share ideas, recipes, celebrate together, and complain together too." Just be sure to choose the right buddy for your journey. "We all have friends who are health saboteurs," says Dara Godfrey, a registered dietitian who works in private practice in New York City. "Try to always avoid dining experiences with them. Or, make sure to stand up for yourself when ordering something healthy."

Fill up on water
Consider buying a reusable water bottle that's at least 20 fluid ounces. "That way you know exactly how much water it holds and you can refill it as many times as your body requires," says registered dietitian Alix Turoff, a certified personal trainer. And water doesn't have to be boring. "Jazz it up by adding fresh lemon, cucumber, mint, or any other fruit or veggie. Not only does it make the water taste more interesting, but when you take the time to do something 'special,' you're more likely to drink the water."

It's OK to let loose sometimes if you prepare
"In a perfect world, you'd be able to plan each meal to ensure that you stay on track," says Allison Tibbs, a San Francisco-based personal trainer and healthy lifestyle coach. "However, life happens." She explains that if you know that you're going out for apps and drinks tomorrow night, make sure that your breakfast, snacks, and lunches for that day and the day after are extra healthy. "This way, you won't have to worry too much about your evening festivities," she adds. "If you're doing your best to eat on track most of the time, one night out won't sabotage your hard work."

It pays to become a label pro
Registered dietitian nutritionist Kristin Kirkpatrick, manager of wellness nutrition services at Cleveland Clinic, says that when choosing foods to buy, first review a label's ingredients and the numbers that are important to you—including fiber, protein, calories, sodium, sugar, and fat content. "Avoid looking at the front of the product," says Kirkpatrick. "That area contains only smoke-and-mirrors marketing to cajole you into purchasing a product." If you see words like low fat, natural, healthy, and diet on a product, be wary, she says. "Foods that actually fit all these descriptions, like an apple, don't need to sell themselves."

Cheat meals don't have to wreck your diet
If you eat healthfully most of the time, an indulgence here or there doesn't have to ruin your progress, says Nadia Murdock, fitness expert and coach. If you're craving a burger, have one without the guilt. "Eat only half the bun and ditch the fatty condiments like mayo and ketchup, which pack on a lot of sugar," she says. The same rule goes for cocktails, she says. Enjoy some of your favorites while staying on track. "If you love white wine, add seltzer for a white wine spritzer," Murdock says. "You still can enjoy a glass—with half the calories."

Train your eye
Learn how to eyeball proper portion sizes. First, educate yourself on the right portions for the foods you eat on a regular basis, suggests Waehner. You can use tools such as plates with markings for portions of proteins, fruits, and vegetables. "It's a lot of work, but try it for a week," she says. "You'll be surprised by how much you eat and that you can usually satisfy your hunger with less food."

Snacking isn't all bad
Snacking—when done correctly—can actually help you lose weight. You heard that right! "I like to snack on 100-calorie packs of pistachios," says registered dietitian nutritionist Amy Gorin, owner of Amy Gorin Nutrition in the New York City area. "The shells provide a visual cue of the amount that you've eaten, which may help you stop noshing before you have extra servings." Shelling the nuts also helps slow down your eating. In one preliminary study in Appetite, volunteers eating in-shell pistachios consumed 41 percent fewer calories than people snacking on the shelled version. Next, check out the weight loss tricks that don't actually work—and what to do instead.

"Love is Strange" gives unique aesthetic
by kcou-admin
in News, Reviews
Director Ira Sach's latest offering, Love is Strange is slow and deliberate, but undeniably charming.
"The Guest:" Possible cult classic?
The Guest is quite possibly the most endearing slasher film ever made.
"Gone Girl" a must see film
Gone Girl is one of the most unnerving and simultaneously gripping films you will experience this year. At risk of spoiling your own experience with the film, I will try to keep as many spoilers as possible out of this review. But the basic premise of the film is that a man, Nick Dunne, comes home one day to find that his wife Amy is missing and he soon becomes the prime suspect. Though as the clues begin to present themselves Nick and the town begins asking the same question: "What really happened to Amy Dunne?"
"Rich Hill" gives different take on common stereotype
"We're not trash, we're good people." In American society people are judged on intelligence, appearance, and socioeconomic status. But as thirteen year old Andrew will tell you, these judgments and labels are so often inaccurate.
"Frank" provides powerful themes
Last week, Ragtag Cinema welcomed the movie Frank. Directed by critically acclaimed Irish director Lenny Abrahamson, Frank is an offbeat drama infused with comical humor. The film tells the story a man named Frank, who is played by Michael Fassbender. Fassbender, starred in the recent movies 12 years A Slave and X-Men: Days of future Past.
"Under the Skin" ponders the meanings of life
In Under the Skin, director Jonathan Glazer takes viewers on a visual journey like none other. An extensive number of surreal scenes occur as alien Scarlett Johansson (or Laura, as her character is actually named) scours the Scottish roadways, posing as a human to lure lone men back to her lair.
"The Invisible Woman": steady, not stunning
The affair between British author Charles Dickens and his mistress, actress Nelly Ternan, lasted for 13 years, until the author's death in 1870. In The Invisible Woman, the newest film by Ralph Fiennes, the actor-director paints a slow-burning tableau of their life together, crafting less of a story than a series of vignettes that continue to haunt Nelly after she marries and establishes a family of her own.

Graduate Students, After Gains in Union Efforts, Face a Federal Setback
in: Economy, Finance
It's not clear how the N.L.R.B.'s proposed rule will affect universities where bargaining is underway. Mr. Swain said Harvard was reviewing the proposed rule to assess its implications. But the regulation could give universities the upper hand in negotiations.
"This could be an additional reason that they could articulate or rely upon to discontinue bargaining, or limit bargaining on certain issues," said Mr. Gould, the former N.L.R.B. chairman. "The only option for the union then would be to go to the very N.L.R.B. that had established a contrary position."
The rule proposed Friday is the latest swing on an issue that has divided the board along partisan lines for two decades. In 2000, the N.L.R.B. overturned a longstanding precedent and gave students at New York University the right to unionize. But that ruling was reversed in 2004, in a decision involving Brown University, before the board switched back to the pro-union standard in 2016.
In the proposed rule, the N.L.R.B. states that students at private universities who "perform services" related to their studies are "primarily students with a primarily educational, not economic, relationship with their university." After a 60-day period for public comment, the board will revisit the proposal.
"This rule-making is intended to obtain maximum input on this issue from the public, and then to bring stability to this important area of federal labor law," John F. Ring, the chairman of the N.L.R.B., said in a statement.
The N.L.R.B. has generally used its rule-making authority to clarify existing precedents and has reserved its more sweeping judgments for decisions adjudicating individual cases. The current board, however, has outlined an unusually ambitious rule-making agenda that seeks to change a number of longstanding labor practices.
Ms. Yumusak, the Harvard philosophy student, called the proposed graduate-student rule "an egregious and desperate misuse of power." Andrew Crook, a spokesman for the American Federation of Teachers, said graduate students were planning to submit comments to the board calling for the rule to be scrapped.

Illinois Rep. Cheri Bustos weighed in on the hotly debated "Medicare-for-all" bill — a sweeping overhaul of the nation's health care system — on Tuesday, shrugging it off as just one idea.
Bustos, who was elected chairwoman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) for the House of Representatives in late November, said in an interview with The Hill on Wednesday that the estimated $33 trillion price tag was "a little scary" and suggested there may be alternative options.
"The Green New Deal is an idea. 'Medicare-for-all' is an idea. But there are many others that are out there," Bustos told the publication.
"Medicare-for-all" would expand benefits beyond what is already offered under former President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act. It would require significant tax increases since the government would essentially take over premiums now paid by employers and individuals as it replaces the private health insurance industry.
"The transition from what we have now to Medicare for all, it's just hard to conceive how that would work."
"What do we have — 130 million-something Americans who get their health insurance through their work? The transition from what we have now to 'Medicare-for-all,' it's just hard to conceive how that would work. You have so many jobs attached to the health care industry," Bustos commented.
On her campaign website, Bustos touts her previous career in the health industry, working for "one of the nation's largest non-denominational, non-profit health care systems" to help families find affordable coverage. She worked in the health field "before, during and after the passage of the Affordable Care Act," her biography states.
A study released last summer by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University estimated it would cost $32.6 trillion ($3.26 trillion per year) over 10 years. For comparison, the federal budget proposal for the fiscal year 2019 was $4.4 trillion, the Congressional Budget Office states.
However, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who first drafted the proposal, has blasted the Mercatus Center's analysis as "grossly misleading and biased."
More than 100 House Democrats including a handful of 2020 presidential hopefuls have already agreed to co-sponsor the legislation — which is strongly opposed by President Trump and the GOP — that would move the U.S. to a virtual single-payer system.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has yet to endorse the bill but indicated she would allow hearings on the legislation to proceed. Bustos said she, too, would be open to holding discussions on "Medicare-for-all" in the near future.
"The vast majority of Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives want to see us fix the Affordable Care Act and make it functional ... so we can protect people with pre-existing conditions and so people have affordable health care," she told The Hill.

Le Missionarie della Dottrina Cristiana sono un istituto religioso femminile di diritto pontificio: i membri di questa congregazione pospongono al loro nome la sigla M.D.C.

Storia
La congregazione fu fondata da Maria Francesca De Santis (1836-1916): educata presso le celestine dell'Aquila, conseguì il diploma magistrale e iniziò a dedicarsi alla catechesi e all'educazione dei bambini poveri.

Alla De Santis si unirono le sorelle e altre giovani: il 2 ottobre 1890, con il consenso dell'arcivescovo dell'Aquila Augusto Vicentini, le donne emisero i voti dando inizio alla nuova famiglia religiosa.

Le suore della Dottrina Cristiana si diffusero rapidamente in Abruzzo, Marche, Puglia e Lombardia; nel 1898 la fondatrice lasciò il governo dell'istituto a Diomira Cappelletti e si ritirò a Castiglione a Casauria, dove diede inizio alla nuova congregazione delle suore della Sacra Famiglia di Penne.

L'istituto ricevette il pontificio decreto di lode il 19 agosto 1969.

Attività e diffusione
Le suore si dedicano particolarmente alla catechesi e all'educazione e all'assistenza della gioventù in asili, educandati e orfanotrofi.

Oltre che in Italia, le religiose sono presenti in Bolivia  e Congo; la sede generalizia è all'Aquila.

Alla fine del 2008 la congregazione contava 272 suore in 25 case.

Faculty members at higher education institutions were placed in a hypothetical scenario where their institution was requiring compulsory contribution of 100% of their personally developed course materials to be placed into an OER Repository. The participants were randomly assigned to one of six Creative Commons license type groups and all responded to the same scale on enthusiasm. The results were then discussed in nine interviews with a variety of faculty members. One way ANOVAs were run on the data using several different factors. While no significant main effect was found between the license type groups, several interesting differences were found using other factors and between groups in post hoc analyses.

Wall Street turmoil caused by U.S. Subprime Mortgage Crisis had eventually evolved to global financial crisis. The financial crisis that has engulfed the world is really a disaster, leading to precipitous shrinkage of human wealth and instantaneous evaporation of long-time efforts by financial institutions. But why did such financial crisis take place? Who should be blamed?
As far as I concern, Federal Reserve deserves the greatest blame, as its ultra-loose monetary policy created housing bubble, sowing the seeds of crisis. And its subsequent tighten policy pricked that kind of bubble, precipitatingsubprime mortgage crisis. Together with the former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan indulged rampant financial derivatives,which made the economy worse off.
