Sportpályafutása
Sportlövő pályafutását 2009-ben kezdte,  2011-es brescai légfegyveres Európa-bajnokságon a junior fiú puska versenyszámban csapatban negyedik, egyéniben 28. volt. A következő évben Heinola-Vierumäkiban a junior légpuskások között Európa-bajnoki negyedik helyezést ért el az egyéni versenyben. Már ebben az évben felnőtt világkupa versenyen szerepelt. A 2014. évi nyári ifjúsági olimpiai játékokon a légpuska egyéni versenyében harmadik, vegyes csapatversenyében aranyérmes volt. 2014. évi junior világbajnokságon 17. helyezett légpuskával, 31. helyezett összetettben míg a fekvő veresnyszámot  betegség miatt feladni kényszerült.

2015-ben az arnhemi 10 méteres Európa-bajnokságon a juniorok között második helyen végzett. A 2015. évi Európa játékokon légpuska egyéniben kilencedik, légpuska vegyes csapatban bekerült a döntőbe Veres Katával, és ott a hetedik helyen végzett. A maribori sportlövő Európa-bajnokságon a junior kisöbű szabadpuska 3 × 40 lövéses összetett versenyében hatodik, a szabadpuska 60 fekvő versenyszámban bronzérmet nyert. 2015 augusztusában az azerbajdzsáni Gabalában rendezett világkupaversenyen olimpiai kvótát szerzett légpuska versenyszámban.

Dell XPS 15 vs. MacBook Pro 15: Fight!
We pit Apple's redesigned MacBook Pro 15 against Dell's upgraded XPS 15 to see which of these quad-core workhorses is the best. The answer may not surprise you.
By Gordon Mah Ung
Executive Editor, PCWorld |
Gordon Mah Ung
Dell's XPS 15 vs. Apple's MacBook Pro 15 takes its place the same epic list of rivalries as Batman vs. Joker, Red Sox vs. Yankees, and Sheldon vs. Wil Wheaton. Both laptops are intended as workhorses for professionals on the go. And although there are many competitors out there with similar specs, the XPS 15 and MacBook Pro 15 just can't let the other have the last word.
So in the spirit of competition, we pitted the latest versions of both laptops in a knock-down, drag-out fight.
The XPS 15 and MacBook Pro 15 face off yet again.
The new MacBook Pro 15 has basically four Thunderbolt 3-enabled USB-C ports and a single analog headphone jack (thank god Apple hasn't killed it this year). You'd think that with $246 billion in hand, Apple would give you a break and include an HDMI dongle or even a USB-Type A to USB-Type C, but no. #ThanksApple.
[ Got a spare hour? Take this online course and learn how to install and configure Windows 10 with the options you need. ]
The Dell XPS 15 is far more generous with traditional ports and gives you two USB 3.0 Type A ports, a full-size HDMI 1.4, analog headset jack, a Kensington lock port, and one USB 3.1 Type C/Thunderbolt 3. In addition to supporting 10Gbps USB-C transfer speeds and the Thunderbolt protocol, this port also supports 4K resolution DisplayPort 1.2.
Dell's XPS 15 gives you an SD card reader, USB 3.0 Type A and Kensington lock port on the right, as well as a battery meter with five LEDs.
Although Apple Scrooges you on ports, one thing you get for free is performance. The Dell XPS 15's implementation of Thunderbolt 3 uses two lanes of PCIe Gen 3.0, while all four of Apple's ports are four-lane implementations, which can hit 40Gbps vs. the 20Gbps of the XPS 15.
The good news for the Dell is that DisplayPort traffic is separate from the Thunderbolt 3 traffic, so you could, in theory, run your monitors and still hit 20Gbps without issue. The bad news is the MacBook Pro 15 does that, too, while giving you up to 40Gbps. Today, few can see use for that speed, but in two years who knows what will be here. So yeah.
As much as I favor Apple's higher-performance implementation on the MacBook Pro 15, the fact that you can't use the ports without carrying a small bag of dongles that you have to pay extra for means I'm giving this to the Dell XPS 15, just on general principle.

Winner: XPS 15
When it comes to ports, this photo comparing the left sides of the Dell XPS 15 (top) and Apple MacBook Pro 15 (bottom) tells you all you need to know.
With the Butterfly design for its MacBook keyboards, Apple has gone from "making the best laptop keyboards in the world!" to "It's not really that bad." Or: "You get used to it, eventually." Some will even say: "I actually like it. No, really. I'm serious."
The MacBook Pro 15's Butterfly keyboard is controversial at best.
Dell's XPS 15 uses a more traditional keyboard that feels almost like a direct lift from the trendsetting XPS 13. The problem? I think it's just a little too small. On the tiny XPS 13, it's a compromise that makes sense. On the larger XPS 15? Let's just say, it's not my favorite keyboard, but it's also not a deal-breaker. In fact, you get used to it.
Winner: XPS 15, but I'm not happy about it.
The XPS 15's keyboard is a bit too cramped for my digits, but I'll take it over the MacBook Pro's Butterfly keys any day of the week, and three times on Friday.
Trackpad and input
PC trackpads have long been the butt of many well-deserved jokes, but the last few years there's been little to joke about. MacBook Pro trackpads, meanwhile, have arguably been the benchmark. The one on the MacBook Pro 15 takes it to another level, but I'm entirely sure it makes sense. The trackpad is simply yuge and I don't know why. I think I've seen tablets that are smaller than the trackpad on the MacBook Pro 15. That doesn't make it bad though, just unusual. Overall it's nice, with a glass surface and a low friction level. But, man, it's huge.
The MacBook Pro 15's trackpad is so big, it could be a tablet.
The XPS 15's trackpad (unlike its keyboard) is also highly lauded. The Wall Street Journal, in fact, did nothing in its original review of the XPS 15 but gush over how the XPS 15's track pad is as good as a MacBook's. I like it, too. The surface has a little more friction to it, but it's comfortable to use.
The bigger issue is input beyond the trackpads. The XPS 15 has a full 10-point touchscreen. Sure, you might scoff at the usefulness, but that's like saying you'd prefer a Blackberry keyboard without touchscreen to, well, today's smartphones. You get the Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro 15, which is kinda neat, but support for it is still building.
The trackpad on Dell's XPS 15 is remarkably smooth and responsive.
Physically, the XPS 15 and MacBook Pro 15 are actually pretty close. Sure, the MacBook Pro 15 is pleasantly thin, but in overall footprint, you won't be able to tell.
More so than how thin it is is how heavy it is. In that category, the MacBook Pro has it in spades. We weighed our MacBook Pro unit at 3 pounds, 15.6 ounces. Yeah, just call it 4 pounds. The XPS 15 is a half-pound heavier at four pounds, 8.7 ounces.
Mind you, these are figures for the main units. Once you add the chargers, it really tilts. The MacBook Pro 15 plus its 87-watt charger (without the extended AC cable) is 4 pounds, 12 ounces. Not bad. The XPS 15 with its brick comes in at 5 pounds, 7.4 ounces. That's a pretty big weight difference. Once you sling that on your shoulder and walk a mile through an airport, it'll feel like a 10 pounds' difference.
It is actually impressive to get to just under four pounds in a quad-core laptop with discrete graphics, but Apple made sacrifices to get there. More performance, in general, means more weight to keep it cooler. For example, the power brick for the Dell is 130 watts, significantly beefier than the 87-watt brick for the MacBook Pro 15.
How much beefier? You'll have to read on but for now, the MacBook Pro 15 wins.
Winner: MacBook Pro 15
The Dell XPS 15 is slightly bigger in size than the MacBook Pro 15, but it's really the weight that matters.
We've heard about the infamous "Apple tax," but is it just trash-talking or something real? To find out, we picked a few of the configurations (including the laptops you see here) to compare. We also added a couple of other configurations so you can see just what you get for your dollar with either company.
The MacBook Pro 15 you see here is the base model. It costs $2,399 and comes with a quad-core Core i7-6700HQ, a Radeon Pro 450 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. Compare that to the Dell XPS 15 before you. For $350 less, you get a quad-core Core i7-7700HQ, GeForce GTX 1050, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, and a 4K touchscreen.
Basically, the XPS 15 gives you more performance (which you can see illustrated below) and doubles your storage while saving you $350. Even crazier, you can max out the XPS 15 to 32GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1TB PCIe SSD, and it will only cost $50 more than the base level MacBook Pro 15. For $50 you basically get four times the storage and double the RAM.
Apple tax? The cheapest MacBook Pro 15 costs as much as the top-end XPS 15.
People have been led to believe that upgrading a laptop is all but dead, because so many components have been soldered down to the motherboard. While you can't swap the CPU or GPU anymore, it's not true for all parts. You can, for example, buy the Dell XPS 15 you see here and in two years, open it up and drop in 32GB of RAM and a larger 1TB NVMe PCIe SSD. Not bad.
You can't upgrade the CPU or GPU in the XPS 15, but the RAM, SSD, and Wi-Fi module can be swapped out easily.
Upgrading the MacBook Pro, however, is more problematic. Not only are the CPU and GPU soldered down, but so is the RAM and the even the SSD. The only way to upgrade the MacBook Pro 15 is to open up your browser, point it at a model with more RAM and a larger SSD on Apple.com, and click the Buy button.
I can accept soldered-down RAM because the LPDDR3 precludes use in a SO-DIMM module. But soldering down the SSD? I have to say it's almost unforgivable.
Winner: Easily the XPS 15
You don't shell out big bucks and deal with the weight of a 15-inch laptop just to run a browser on it. No, these laptops are your portable workstation away from the office and are expected to push far heavier workloads than lighter laptops. Thus, performance is key.
To find out which laptop is faster we compared the base $2,399 MacBook Pro 15 with a Core i7-6700HQ, Radeon Pro 450, 16GB of RAM and 250GB SSD against the $2,050 XPS 15 with a Core i7-7700HQ, GeForce GTX 1050, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD.
Crying foul? Think we should pit the XPS 15 against a MacBook Pro 15 with the faster CPU and faster GPU? Here's why that doesn't hold water. This MacBook Pro 15 is already $350 more expensive than the XPS 15. If we used the Core i7-6920HQ, Radeon Pro 460 version we'd be comparing a $2,050 PC against a $2,900 Mac, and that's just silly. And that's $2,900 for a laptop with an 256GB SSD that can never be upgraded.
Cinebench R15 performance
First up is Maxon's Cinebench R15 test. This free benchmark measures CPU performance and GPU performance when tasked with rendering 3D scenes, using the same engine used in Maxon's Cinema4D product. We used the latest version of Cinebench on both Mac and PC.
There's been much shade thrown at Apple for going with the older 6th-gen Skylake CPU instead of waiting for Intel's newer 7th-gen Kaby Lake CPU. This first benchmark was to see what these quad-cores could do.
The result: It's not huge difference unless you count the ability of Kaby Lake to handle HEVC encoding and decoding. You also get higher clocks: The XPS 15's Core i7-7700HQ CPU has a base clock speed of 2.8GHz and a Turbo Boost of 3.8GHz, while the MacBook Pro 15's Core i7-6700HQ has a base of 2.6GHz and a Turbo Boost of 3.5GHz (here are the detailed specs of the chips on Intel's website.)
When confined solely to the x86 cores, we should see maybe a 10-percent or so difference in performance, and yup, that tracks pretty closely with Cinebench R15.
CineBench R15 backs up all of our other CPU tests: The XPS 15 is about 10 percent faster than the MacBook Pro 15 (and lower in cost, too!).
CineBench also lets you measure single-threaded performance, which better represents workloads such as using your browser or Office application work. The result is again pretty close to what we expect from Kaby Lake, given its higher clock speeds over Skylake.
Clearly, if you have a Skylake-based laptop—whether PC or Mac—you should be in no rush at all to "upgrade" to Kaby Lake for CPU work. However, if Dell, HP, Lenovo, and just about every other PC vendor can take the time to upgrade to the latest CPU the same way any of us would change our underwear daily, Apple should be able to do the same. It's like giving up performance because they can't be bothered to update the specs on the website.
Single-threaded tasks put the 7th generation Kaby Lake about 10 percent ahead of the 6th generation Skylake chip Apple used in its newest MacBook Pro 15.
CineBench also features a built-in graphics test that measures a computer's OpenGL performance. Although the XPS 15 stomps the MacBook Pro 15 by more than 30 percent, I'd have to say this is a lot closer than I expected it to be. I'd attribute this to the OpenGL driver performance on Windows, which is just about dead, vs. Mac OS where OpenGL is still preferred.
How dismal is the graphics performance disparity between the MacBook Pro 15 and the XPS 15? The fact that the XPS 15 is "only" 35 percent faster in CineBench's OpenGL test is actually good news for it.
Geekbench Performance
We used Primate Lab's Geekbench 4.04 to measure the multi-threaded and single-threaded performance of both laptops. Although previous versions of this test invited controversy, the latest version has been better-received as a whole. Using Geekbench within the same x86 architecture seems to be much safer than trying to use it to compare x86 to ARM, too.
Unlike Cinebench, which uses pure CPU rendering as a test, Geekbench uses many different small algorithms modeled after what it feels are valid measurements of performance. Geekbench says the XPS 15 is about 7 percent faster than the MacBook Pro 15, which is what I'd expect.
Again, the updated Kaby Lake offers about 10 percent more performance than the Skylake CPU it replaces.
One thing I've noticed is Geekbench doesn't scale quite as well with the number of cores and threads as Cinebench does. When measuring single-core performance, though, it's a lot closer, and the 10-percent-faster clock speeds of the XPS 15 net you about a 10-percent-higher score than the MacBook Pro 15.
In general, the XPS 15 and its Kaby Lake CPU, is roughly 10 percent faster across the board.

Evans v. People of the State of New York [Brief] (1872)
Attempts by the New York legislature to make abortion a crime regardless of the stage of gestation were permanently frustrated because the court decided that manslaughter cannot occur until the law recognizes a living being in gestation and that only happens after quickening.
Subject: Legal, Reproduction
York v. Jones [Brief] (1989)
The court treated frozen embryos possessed by an in vitro fertilization clinic as property owned by the parents and held under a bailment contract by the clinic. As such, the contract between the parties controlled disposition of the embryos but when the contract ended, control of the embryos reverted back to the parents. This decision had little effect on subsequent embryo cases because the circumstances were so unusual. Neither party contended the embryos had any rights.
Doolan v. IVF America [Brief] (2000)
The implication of the court's decision was that Thomas Doolan's identity or personhood existed at the embryo stage in vitro, thus the fact that he was born with cystic fibrosis was not attributable to the decision of the in vitro fertilization providers to implant one embryo instead of another. The other unused embryo may not have carried the cystic fibrosis genes, but that other embryo was not Thomas Doolan. The decision in Doolan has not been publicly tested in other jurisdictions.
J.B. v. M.B. [Brief] (2001)
In a dispute over frozen embryos during a divorce case, the court decided the wife's fundamental right to not procreate mandated destruction of the pre-embryos in light of the husband's continuing ability to procreate with a different partner. The court also said embryo disposition agreements used by in vitro fertilization clinics were generally enforceable subject to either spouse's right to change his or her mind prior to use of the pre-embryos.
A.Z. v. B.Z. [Brief] (2000)
The Massachusetts Supreme Court in a case of first impression decided that a prior written agreement between a husband and wife regarding the disposition of frozen embryos in the event of a divorce was unenforceable. This was the first case to reject the presumption that written agreements to conduct in vitro fertilization practices were binding. The court would not force the husband to become a parent merely because he signed a consent form that would have awarded the frozen embryos to his wife in the event of marital separation.

Effects of Prenatal Alcohol Exposure on Cerebellum Development
Prenatal exposure to alcohol (ethanol) results in a continuum of physical, neurological, behavioral, and learning defects collectively grouped under the heading fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is the most severe combination of these defects under this heading, and is characterized by pre- and postnatal growth deficiencies, facial abnormalities, and defects of the central nervous system (CNS).

Facial Abnormalities of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)
Prenatal exposure to alcohol (ethanol) results in a continuum of physical, neurological, behavioral, and learning defects collectively grouped under the heading Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) was first defined in 1973 as a condition characterized by pre- and postnatal growth deficiencies, facial abnormalities, and defects of the central nervous system. The pattern of facial defects that occur as a result of ethanol exposure during development primarily affects the midline of the face, altering morphology of the eyes, nose, and lips.
Assisted Human Reproduction Canada (AHRC)
Established under the Assisted Human Reproduction (AHR) Act of 2004, Assisted Human Reproduction Canada (AHRC), also known as the Assisted Human Reproduction Agency of Canada, was created in 2006 to oversee research related to reproductive technologies and to protect the reproductive rights and interests of Canadian citizens. AHRC serves as a regulatory body for the development and use of such research and technology while enforcing the guidelines and restrictions laid out by the AHR Act.
Subject: Organizations, Reproduction
Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are a collection of different techniques designed to help those who are infertile achieve a successful pregnancy. The most popular technology currently in use is in vitro fertilization (IVF), but others include gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT), intrauterine insemination (IUI), and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

James Marion Sims's Treatment of Vesico-Vaginal Fistula
James Marion Sims developed a treatment for vesico-vaginal fistulas in Montgomery, Alabama in the 1840s. Vesico-vaginal fistulas were a relatively common condition in which a woman's urine leaked into her vaginal cavity from her bladder, and many regarded the fistulas as untreatable during the early 1800s. After years of efforts to repair the fistulas with myriad tools, techniques, and procedures, Sims developed the speculum and a vaginal examination position later named for him.
Amniocentesis
Amniocentesis is a test used for prenatal diagnosis of inherited diseases, Rh incompatibility, neural tube defects, and lung maturity. Normally performed during the second trimester of a pregnancy, this invasive procedure allows the detection of health problems in the fetus as early as fifteen weeks gestation. Although amniocentesis does carry some significant risks, the medical community commonly accepts it as a safe and useful procedure.
Bowen v. American Hospital Association (1986)
The 1986 US Supreme Court decision Bowen v. American Hospital Association rejected the federal government's use of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to intervene in a hospital's treatment for neonates born with severe congenital defects. This case set a precedent for the role of government involvement in cases where parents refused consent for care of disabled newborns.
Kass v. Kass [Brief] (1998)
In a case of first impression in the state of New York, the highest state court decided that a priori written agreement between progenitors of frozen embryos regarding the disposition of their "pre-zygotes" in the event of divorce is binding. By copying the general result arrived at by the Tennessee Supreme Court in Davis v. Davis in 1992, the New York court magnified the weight of authority in favor of upholding prior written agreements for in vitro fertilization practices.
Laparoscopy, a subfield of endoscopy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to examine and operate on the internal organs of the abdomen through a small incision in the abdominal wall. The term "laparoscopy" is derived from two Greek words: laparo, meaning the soft space between hips and ribs, and skopie, meaning to examine. Today laparoscopy has broad clinical applications including for diagnosis, fertility procedures, visual representation, and surgery.
Humanae Vitae (1968), by Pope Paul VI
The "Humanae Vitae," meaning "Of Human Life" and subtitled "On the Regulation of Birth," was an encyclical promulgated in Rome, Italy, on 25 July 1968 by Pope Paul VI. This encyclical defended and reiterated the Roman Catholic Church's stance on family planning and reproductive issues such as abortion, sterilization, and contraception. The document continues to have a controversial reputation today, as its statements regarding birth control strike many Catholics as unreasonable.

James Marion Sims (1813-1883)
James Marion Sims developed a surgical cure for ruptures of the wall separating the bladder from the vagina during labor, ruptures called vesico-vaginal fistulas, and he developed techniques and tools used to improve reproductive examinations and health care for women in the US during the nineteenth century. Sims's lateral examination position allowed doctors to better see the vaginal cavity, and his speculum, a spoon-like object used for increased view into the vagina, helped to make gynecological examinations more thorough.

Gonzales v. Carhart (2007)
In Gonzales v. Carhart (2007), the US Supreme Court held in a five-to-four decision that the 2003 Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act passed by the US Congress was constitutional. Although the Court previously ruled in Stenberg v. Carhart (2000) that a Nebraska law that prohibited partial-birth abortions was unconstitutional, Gonzales reversed this decision. Gonzales created the precedent that anyone who delivers and kills a living fetus could be subject to legal consequences, unless he or she performed the procedure to save the life of the mother.
"Transfer of Fetal Cells with Multilineage Potential to Maternal Tissue" (2004), by Kiarash Khosrotehrani et al.
In 2004, a team of researchers at Tufts-New England

The results were published in Transfer of Fetal Cells with
Multilineage Potential to Maternal Tissue. The team working on that

Whitner v. South Carolina (1997)
In the case Whitner v. South Carolina in 1997, the South Carolina State Supreme Court defined the concept of a child to include viable fetuses. This allowed grounds for prosecution of a pregnant womanÕs prenatal activity if those activities endangered or could potentially endanger the fetus within her. The case brought the issue of fetal rights versus pregnant womenÕs rights to light.
Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act (1990)
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 established the legal framework that governs infertility treatment, medical services ancillary to infertility treatment such as embryo storage, and all human embryological research performed in the UK. The law also defines a legal concept of the parent of a child conceived with assisted reproductive technologies.

Studies of Thalidomide's Effects on Rodent Embryos from 1962-2008
Thalidomide is a sedative drug introduced to European markets on 1 October 1957 after extensive testing on rodent embryos to ensure its safety. Early laboratory tests in rodent populations showed that pregnant rodents could safely use it, so doctors prescribed Thalidomide to treat morning sickness in pregnant women. However, in humans Thalidomide interfered with embryonic and fetal development in ways not observed in rodent tests.

"Some of the Uses of Electricity in Gynecology," (1901) by William Henry Walling
In 1901, physician William Henry Walling published the article, Some of the Uses of Electricity in Gynecology, in the January issue of the American Gynecological and Obstetrical Journal. Walling was a practicing gynecologist who studied electro-therapeutics, or the use of electricity in medicine for the treatment of disease, which was an emerging topic during the late 1800s. Walling stated that proper administration of electrical current to a woman's vagina, uterus, bladder, or rectum could be therapeutic for gynecological diseases.

Greenidge (Dresden) Power Plant
The Greenidge Power Plant in Dresden, New York, was built in 1937 by the New York State Electric and Gas Corporation (NYSEG). Since 1999, the plant has been owned and operated by AES Corporation. At one time, the Greenidge Power consisted of six coal-fired boilers, which provided steam to power four turbine generators. The plant had a generating capacity of over 200 megawatts. In 1985, two turbine generators and three boilers were taken out of service. In 2009, another turbine and boiler were also taken out of service. Citing high fuel costs and decreased demand for electricity, AES shut down the Greenidge Power Plant in March 2011, with the intent to reopen it when conditions in the electricity market improved.
Prior to the late 1970s, asbestos-containing materials were utilized at Greenidge Power Plant as a component in dozens of materials, including pipe covering, insulating cement and block insulation. Workers who handled asbestos-containing materials, are at risk for developing mesothelioma or lung cancer.
Greenidge Power Plant utilized coal-fired boilers in order to produce steam. The steam was delivered through pipes to turbine generators, which produced electrical power. In order to minimize heat loss, boilers, generators, pipes and other equipment housed within the steam system were covered in asbestos-containing insulating materials. During repairs on the steam system, workers removed the insulation in order to access necessary equipment. When the repair procedure was completed, new asbestos-containing insulation was applied. Removing and applying insulation caused asbestos dust and fibers to become airborne.
The Greenidge Power Plant periodically went into a "shutdown" maintenance period. During a shutdown, maintenance work was performed on equipment in the steam system. Worn asbestos insulation was replaced with new insulation. This process was extremely messy and created large dust clouds. Many workers were not aware of the dangers of exposure to asbestos dust, and they carried on their work without wearing protective masks or clothing.
Our clients understand the importance of securing legal representation as soon as possible after a diagnosis of mesothelioma. If you or a loved one once worked at the Greenidge Power Plant, and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease, we urge you to contact us regarding your legal rights.

In October 2014, CFI Canada advised its members, volunteers and supporters of a National Day of Action and Solidarity with Dying With Dignity, a charitable organization focussed on advancing Canada's position on physician-assisted death. Our website post from that date may be found at the bottom of this article.
On February 6th, 2015 the Supreme Court of Canada released its judgment in the case of Carter Vs. Canada (see the BC Civil Liberties Association regarding this case) and effectively created a 12-month window for the federal government to draft new legislation on physician-assisted death in Canada.
Recently, Dying With Dignity announced to the media that they had lost their charitable status. There have been many media reports on this story all reiterating some common themes: CRA found that DWD did not fulfill its educational programming. Despite this setback, DWD has not given up on advancing human rights.
You Can Take Action and Be Involved During A Critical Period of Human Rights History in Canada!
Two organizations have led this important initiative: BC Civil Liberties Association and Dying With Dignity. CFIC recommends that you follow these organizations throughout 2015 to understand the process.
As a critical thinking inquiry, CFIC also proposes that its members examine "Cradle to the Grave" approaches of the religious community and the healthcare system (first noted in Eric Adriaans post on Canadian Atheist). Religious organizations such as Campaign Life Coalition make it clear that they are interested to control not only members of their religions – but all people from the moment of conception to the end of "natural life". There's a striking connection in the language used by health care system to describe its priorities (http://blogs.forward.com/the-arty-semite/185450/a-cradle-to-grave-health-care-system-that-works/, http://theagenda.tvo.org/blog/agenda-blog/cradle-grave). When people are interested to convince an audience, it is important to use common language and connect on values and shared priorities.
CFIC has already asked if religions may be a vector for public health hazards. We've also asked our members to respond to the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons consultation on its Professional Obligations and Human Rights Policy. We note that the college has posted a Planning for and Providing Quality End of Life Care document on their website.
An FAQ regarding physician assisted dying has been posted by the federal government (http://ep-ce.ca/en/faqs/#q1) which indicates online tools will be developed to seek public input.
This day has been decades in the making. The 1993 decision in the Sue Rodriguez case upheld the federal law criminalizing members of the health care profession who assist sick and dying Canadians end their lives.
This October, the Supreme Court of Canada will hear compelling testimony in the Carter Challenge in support of medically assisted dying. Everyone is invited to participate in this historic moment.
Dying With Dignity Canada is the largest national organization in our country promoting quality end-of-life choices for Canadians who are grievously ill, have incurable illnesses, and are facing profound suffering before they die.
Click here for more information about this and other DWD events.
Pierre Trudeau's timely dictum, "The state has no place in the bedrooms of the nation" as regards sexual behaviour among consenting adults, resonates here. What business is it of a government to be by the deathbed of a Canadian adult consulting with his medical caregivers as regards assistance in dying? A simplistic allusion, of course, but criminal activity is well-enough covered to allow intervention if required.
If we cannot have the freedom to die on our own terms, what "freedom" do we have?

I receive several pieces of junk mail every day, especially during political campaigns. Usually it all goes from my mail box to the recycle bin with hardly a glance, but a couple flyers arrived recently that were quite colorful, so I decided to put them to use. They were printed on card stock with a nice glossy finish and had print-free areas large enough to do something with so I put my Cuttlebug and Spellbinders dies to work. This card is the result. Only the die cuts are from junk mail. The background papers are from my ever-growing scrapbook paper collection.

A guide to council tax
What is council tax?
Council tax is a payment that you make to your local council (also known as your 'local authority'). It is used to fund council services in your area, such as rubbish collection and road maintenance. It's calculated based on the approximate value of the property you live in. The person who lives in a property is responsible for paying the council tax for that address, regardless of who owns it.
When you move into a new property, you will need to tell the local council that you are living there so they can calculate your council tax liability. The average council tax liability is somewhere in the region of £1450 per year, but this varies. You will usually be able to pay in instalments.
Who has to pay council tax?
Most people in England, Wales and Scotland have to pay council tax. Some people are eligible for a discount and some people are exempt.
If you live on your own, or with a person who is exempt (known as a 'disregarded person'), you will be eligible for a 25% discount.
People who are disregarded include full-time students, and those under the age of 18. For a full list of disregarded people, visit the Citizens Advice website.
If everyone living at the address qualifies as a disregarded person, the council tax may be reduced by 50%, or the property may be exempt altogether, depending on who lives there. If everyone living at the address is a student, for example, the whole property will be exempt from council tax.
People who are on a low income may also be able to apply for a council tax reduction. If you are on a low income and would like more information about council tax reductions, get in touch with your local authority.
Who is my local authority?
To find out who your local council is, click here and enter your postcode. However, to save you the time and hassle of contacting the council, you can sign up for all your essential home services via Tili, the digital home move assistant. Tili notifies the council and water authority you're moving, and helps you pick energy, broadband and TV plans. Start your home move with Tili now.
How much council tax do I have to pay?
Council tax is split into 'bands' that run from A to H in England and Scotland, and A to I in Wales. A is the lowest-cost band, and I is the highest, with gradual increments in between.
The property you live in will be banded according to its estimated value in 1991. Factors that affect the value include the neighbourhood you live in and the size of the property.
In England, band A costs an average of £1,114 per year and band H costs an average of £3,342.
In Wales, band A costs an average of £995 per year and band I costs an average of £3,481.
In Scotland, band A costs an average of £805 per year and band H costs an average of £2,960.
For a full list of bands, and the average cost of each band, click here. You can find out what the council tax band for your home is by clicking here.
What happens if I don't pay my council tax?
If you don't pay your council tax instalments, the local authority will send you a reminder, and may ask you to pay the whole annual bill up front. If you're struggling to pay, get in touch with them straight away, as there may still be a chance to pay in instalments.
If you still don't pay, the council will apply to the court for an order to recover the arrears. At this point, additional charges will be added to your account. If you get a letter saying the council is applying to court, you still have a chance of stopping things from going further, but you should act fast and contact the council straight away.
When you leave your address, you'll need to let the council know. They will send you a final bill. You'll need to give them your new address so they can send this to you. Then, when you move in to your new home, contact the new local council (if it's different), and they'll set up your new account.
How can Tili help me?
Tili, the digital home move assistant, is designed to make it easier for you to move house. This includes informing your new local authority that you're moving in. When you give us your postcode, we'll find your new local authority, and send them an email with your name, new address, phone number and email address, so they can contact you to set up your new account. You will still need to let the council at your old address that you've left.

As a mom with a baby and a very lucky person to have such a large circle of good friends and family, I often find myself entertaining at our home. I didn't have to cook for the baptism since we only offered a sweet treat along with the favors, but I am thinking of doing so for her birthday in a couple of weeks. I have a couple of family members and friends with food restrictions and I came up with this short guide to address them in case you need some tips too.
Firstly, let's define what "dietary restriction" means, as it's not the same thing as just trying to find food that your guests will like.
A dietary restriction is something that has to be catered to. You can't make something and hope it'll pass muster; you have to keep it at the forefront of your mind when you're preparing your meal. This does, of course, mean more work; but there's no doubt it will be gratefully appreciated by your guests.
There are many dietary restrictions to keep an eye out for. That's why it's always important to ask your guests prior to your event if they have any that you should know about. You can do this with a quick conversation or, if you're sending formal invites, request to be informed of any such issues on the RSVP.
Most of us know what a vegetarian is. For the most part, they don't eat meat. Whether or not they will eat items such as eggs is often a personal choice, so ask for clarification if necessary. Our baby's sweet god-mom is one and we always try to accommodate her.
All the restrictions of a vegetarian, and then moreso. Vegans don't eat anything that comes from animals, be it meat, milk, butter, or even honey (which is derived from bees). You will need to be very stringent on the items you choose for a vegan, studying packaging plenty - some basic items will often have animal components that you would never have imagined.
While a health trend, gluten free does have a real purpose, too: it's an essential for those who suffer from Celiac Disease. Gluten is found in bread, grains, and anything containing malt (such as vinegar). You also should not use cooking equipment that has been in contact with anything containing gluten, as contamination is a big issue for Celiacs.
There are two main religious dietary restrictions. The first is halal, which is a dietary need for those of the Islamic faith. It primarily centers around meat. The second is kosher, which is the need for those of the Jewish faith. Particularly with the latter, as with gluten free, you will need to be careful with the cooking equipment you use in case of contamination.
A brief mention for allergies, though dealing with allergies is far simpler than negotiating with all of the above. If a guest informs you that they have an allergy to a particular food, it's very easy to handle: just don't use it. This is essential, as allergies can result in an immediate, life-threatening condition called anaphylaxis. There's no workarounds or adaptations you can do with allergies; just utterly avoid the item in question.
So, when you know what the dietary restrictions are, you have to try and figure out how to put together a meal that works. Let's move on to a few essential dos and don'ts for handling this situation.
One of the rudest things you can do is expect your guest with a dietary restriction to deal with it themselves. So, don't just put together a meal as you normally would and expect them to pick and choose what they can eat. If you do that, you're not being truly considerate of their needs - and you're probably forcing them to eat very little. You don't want a situation where a vegan is left with nothing to eat but a plate of potatoes, or someone of the Jewish faith just decides to eat nothing because they don't know what they can trust.
It might be inconvenient, but part of entertaining is about getting these things right. So go the extra mile to accommodate their needs.
Food created with a dietary restriction in mind doesn't have to be unpleasant. If you look around, you will quickly find that there are plenty of foods that take into account a dietary need but which can be enjoyed by everyone. For example, this vegan recipe for sugar cookies should go down well with all your guests, while this gluten-free lasagne should appeal to all guests. As for the meat restrictions on kosher and halal food, every guest will be able to eat applicable meat without being any the wiser.
It's important to mention this because, sometimes, it can be tempting. "How will they ever know?" you think, going ahead and doing what you would normally do. First off, this is just plain rude. Secondly, there's every chance they will find out, and then you could have scorched a friendship for no good reason. People with dietary restrictions should be given the respect they deserve, and you will be a better friend for catering to them.
While catering to these issues might make life more difficult in some regards, it's also a challenge to you as a cook and a host. If you can try and frame it in your mind as a positive thing, a chance for you to test yourself, then it should morph from a chore into something that you actively enjoy. You might even find that you discover recipes you never normally would have tried, but which you love and want to make again.
Again, this can be tempting: "it took me three hours to find kosher salt!" you might be tempted to say. However, this is just going to make you look petty and your guest feel awkward. Instead, don't make any mention of it besides acknowledging that you have prepared a meal that they will be able to eat without any concerns.
Sourcing ingredients that you're unfamiliar with is going to take longer than your normal shopping, so keep this in mind. If there's something you're having problems finding in grocery stores, then check online; there's a plethora of sites which cater to dietary restrictions and have ingredients galore.

But releasing Claire is not without its consequences. While it might fulfill the prophecy foretelling the fall of the Fates that have plagued him for so long, it would also mean releasing Hecate from her dark prison... and into our world. Nyx now must decide. How far would he go to save the woman he loves... the woman who betrayed him?


A couple of weeks ago, Quilt Home had a great sale on Anna Maria Horner's Little Folks. After receiving some to make the empire dress, I couldn't resist buying more. I thought it would be the perfect fabric for a baby blanket - and I happen to know a baby girl that will be born soon! This blanket is inspired by this quilt I saw on Flickr recently. I loved how the window pane was incorporated. I meant to use more yellow on my quilt, but in my ordering frenzy I guess I forgot to buy some.
Each square is 6.5". The back is Anna Maria Horner's Folksy Flannel. It is unbelievably soft. This blanket is so cozy, I am seriously considering making a big one for myself!
I quilted straight lines in the ditch. I also did curved corners for the first time. They don't lay perfectly flat (is that normal?) But I think they look cute for a baby blanket. This quilt measures 34" x 40".
