Zero Waste Skincare and Haircare: meet GiseleByLAMissApple!
Today we're kicking off a series of interviews to present you the brands we work with and the passionate people behind the products we bring in your homes.
In this 1st episode we are thrilled to introduce Anne, founder and maker of the Los Angeles based brand GiseleByLAMissApple. We fell in love with her shampoo bars, hair mask, bath bombs and make-up remover. We are very excited to share the story of a true artist with many talents!
Why did you start Gisele by LAMissApple?
When I was 23 year old I had serious health issues. It was a pivotal moment in my life when I discovered there was a good chance my disease was linked to the "regular" skincare products I was using everyday, in particular my deodorant. These products are available everywhere, I trusted them. How could I know they were so dangerous for my health?
From this moment on, I eliminated all nasty chemicals from my life. I searched for organic ways to improve my health and the health of my little boy who was 1 year old at that time.
I spent 700 hours of studying aromatherapy in France. Through this experience, I learned all the benefits that essential oils can bring to us and how to use them to make perfectly safe skincare products. I'm grateful today I've built a business around my passion and I'm able to share my products with so many people around the world.
How did you choose the name GiseleByLAMissApple?
Gisele was my son's grand mother. I spent 6 months with her when she was going through chemo. I shared with her my first lotions, the bond between us became very strong. This name is a way to pay tribute to her.
And La Miss Apple is my french nickname (" la petite pomme") when I was a little girl.
Where does your inspiration to create your products come from?
My inspiration comes from Nature : I'm deeply curious about flowers, herbs, wax, seaweeds... all these natural substances have so many healing virtues, we don't need synthetic ingredients.
I choose the best plants and oils and incorporate them in all my products to treat skin and hair. It's safe for us and for our planet. For me it's obvious that it's the best thing to do.
It's a difficult question! I would say the coconut hair mask because it reminds me of my son. I created this product for his huge curly hair! Now I love how his hair have never looked so shiny and felt so soft.
My second favorite are all my solid shampoos: I'm very proud I came up with a product that is so eco-friendly (no plastic bottle, safe ingredients). It's truly zero waste, it has health benefits and as my customers would say "it's so simple and it works!". I created 9 different types, because we all have different hair. Pick one and you will see!
If I could choose one more product it will be of course my deodorant. Although I've found a safe recipe, it's hard to find the perfect zero waste and plastic free container, so it's still a work in progress.
What was your plastic pollution eye opening moment?
I got a wake up call in 2002. I was line producer for an advertising agency, we were making lots of commercials to promote luxury cosmetics brands. Between their formulas full of chemicals and their plastic packaging, you can imagine it was a little hard for me.
One day I was working on a short film I was producing. During the editing I went through images that were so shocking I still remember them: groups of children looking for food, climbing mountains of garbage, plastic was everywhere. I couldn't handle it but this convinced me I had to do something to raise awareness about this worldwide issue. And that's what happened years later when I started LAMissApple, this is my contribution.
What's the easiest zero waste change you've made?
All the containers I use are recycled and I don't buy plastic anymore: I make all my beauty and household products myself; I even made some shopping bags and I sewn pads to clean my face (no more disposable cotton balls). And when my friends order from me, I sanitize and reuse their own containers.
It's also important for me to contribute to keeping our beautiful canyons clean. I go on a hike every week with my kids and we pick up all the plastic bottles we find. We bring what's recyclable to the recycling center and they keep the money they receive. This is how I teach them about caring for our environment.
My big project for 2018 is to spread the word for responsible consuming: I want to offer more ways to respect our planet, take care of our health, protect our kids. I want to become a reference brand for better living.
Why not to building an app, a platform or a concept store based on Zero waste and toxins-free lifestyle? Wish me luck!

Q: Laravel Passport API switch user while in development I have an Angular 9 SPA with a Laravel 7.x API using Laravel Passport (Personal Access Tokens) for authentication. While in development, every now and then I would like to act as a different user in order to test authentication/permissions. I dont exactly know how to do that cleanly with Laravel Passport.
In the past, when my website was a MPA on Laravel, all I had to do was use Auth::loginUsingId() to act as a different user. Does anyone know of a simple way of switching users server-side without having to deal with logout/login client-side?
UPDATE:
So after researching and trying to figure out a custom solution, I ended up creating an AutoLogin middleware to make sure environment was not production and if an AUTO_LOGIN_ID environment variable was set. If true, then I will essentially re-login as the the user I want without credential checks, then send the client the new user and token. Here is my code:
class AutoLoginMiddleware
{
    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @param  \Closure  $next
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        // Only apply this middleware to non-production environments!!
        if( env('APP_ENV') !== 'production' && env('AUTO_LOGIN_ID') ) {

            // Dont do anything if the autologin user is already logged in
            if( Auth::id() === env('AUTO_LOGIN_ID') ) {
                return $next($request);
            }

            // Set the new user
            $authUser = User::find(env('AUTO_LOGIN_ID'));
            Auth::guard('api')->setUser($authUser);
            $token = Auth::guard('api')->user()->createToken('auth_token')->accessToken;

            // Send the new user information as well as the access token to client.
            return response([
                'user' => Auth::guard('api')->user(),
                'access_token' => $token
            ]);
        }
        return $next($request);
    }
}

So I think that covers the server-side code. The only other thing that I need to figure out is how to properly and securely inform the client that the user has been switched.
Should I send a custom status code? If so, what is a safe code to send that would be safe to listen for on the client? Maybe I should send a custom header?

Defamation Laws and the Mythical "Right to Freedom of Speech"
November 11, 2017 by Paul McKeever
Despite loose talk to the contrary, there is no moral "right of free speech". It is only when one sets up a "right" of "free speech" that one then has to somehow explain how defamation laws – which involve making a liar pay damages to a person about whom he has told a lie – are not a violation of the "right of free speech". Typically, the explanation ends up involving another made-up "right" that must be "balanced" against the "right" of "free speech", or that somehow constitutes a exception to the "right of free speech". The result of such explanations, inevitably, is that someone asserts that the "right" of "free speech" is "not absolute". This devolves further into a greater, and more harmful generalization: that "rights are not absolute". The end game is something akin to s. 1 of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which states that "The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society". In other words, one ends up with constitutional laws that say you have rights, but that they're not absolute. More succinctly: that you have no rights at all.
It therefore comes to me as a disappointment that none other than the Director of Legal Studies at the Ayn Rand Institute, Steve Simpson (who is usually a great advocate of Ayn Rand's philosophy, Objectivism) has defended defamation laws by asserting that one has a "right" to the value of one's own reputation:
"But yeah, libel laws in my view are proper. It's a big, complicated topic. The way I think about it is: You have a right to the value that you have created in your own reputation — or if you think about it from the standpoint of a company, in your brand. Now it's, again, it's a complicated issue. But you can take an example of what happened to Johnson & Johnson in the 1980s when somebody poisoned Tylenol. And think about the damage that was done to Johnson & Johnson — it took them years to regain their reputation. Imagine if somebody now said, you know, across the Internet, "I've poisoned Tylenol." Imagine how quickly the stock would plummet, nobody would buy it anymore. There's real damage there. So, the ultimate issue is if you lie in a way that damages a value that somebody else has created — in this case its reputation, you can think of it almost as an intellectual property right — you can be sued for that. But we have to set the right legal standards for it." (Objectivist Summer Conference 2017 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, June 13, 2017).
The problem is not setting "the right legal standards for" the value of your reputation. The problem is that there is no moral, political, or legal "right" to the value of one's own reputation. That made-up "right" is not a defence to the propriety of defamation laws.
The Myth of the Right of Free Speech
Rights are absolute by their very nature. A "right of free speech", if it existed, would grant one immunity from anything one said. One could tell any number of people any lie one cared to tell, and one could face no penalty as a result. One could hand a lethal pill to someone and tell them it was harmless and should be eaten. One could, without consequence, impersonate Brad Pitt in order to get a woman to agree to have sex with one. One could falsely swear to a lender that one is worth $1M in order to get a $10 loan, and not be charged with fraud.
Like a gun, speech is just a tool. There is no moral "right of free gun" that gives you the right to use a gun to take a person's life, liberty, or property his/her consent. Likewise, there is no "right of free speech" that gives you the right to lie about someone in an effort ultimately to take that person's life, liberty, or property his/her consent.
The Nature of Defamation
Your highest moral purpose is the achievement of your own happiness. You can achieve that happiness only by making and acting upon the decisions that result in you earning the the material and spiritual things upon which your survival and happiness depends; things like money, love, admiration etc. Freedom is control over your own decisions and actions; over the use and disposition of your own life, liberty, and property. You need to be free if you are to survive and achieve your own happiness.
When a person deliberately misrepresents to you the facts of reality, for the deliberate purpose of getting you to exercise your decision-making power in his interest instead of in your own, he is taking from you the values that you would have obtained had you not been tricked into making decisions that serve him instead of you; values upon which your survival/happiness depends. When a liar (let's call him "X") tells you a lie about another person (let's call him "A"), it is even worse. He takes values from two people: you and A. How? By causing you to exercise your decision-making power in the liar's interests instead of in your own interest, he causes you to sacrifice the value you would have obtained by interacting (i.e., trading) with A, and he causes the sacrifice of the value that A would have obtained by trading with you. By "trading", I'm not referring merely to trading money for goods or services. There are other trades, such as the mutual expression of admiration or praise between two people, or the public recognition by a country of a soldier's defence of freedom.
The law of defamation developed from situations in which the liar told not just one person, but many people, a lie about A. Of particular concern was lies told in mass-distributed newspapers. When a whole country can be turned against A, A may well be destroyed. Especially in cities – where one does not produce one's own food and usually must trade values to survive – "destroyed" may include A being left to die from refusals to trade with A.
Justice demands that A be compensated, by X, for the value that A *would have* obtained from trades with several of the people who were lied to by X. That value – be it material (e.g., money) or spiritual (e.g., love) – essentially is being taken from A, by X, without A's consent. At the same time, everyone's freedom to make decisions in their own self-interest demands that a court of law set the record straight about the facts of reality concerning A, and publicly condemn X as the liar he is.
Defamation Laws and the Myth of the Right to the Value of One's Reputation
The value of a person's reputation is not what is at issue in a defamation action. If Bloggs really does have a sexually-transmitted disease that nobody but you knows about, and you announce live on national television that Bloggs has that sexually transmitted disease, the value of Blogg's reputation will certainly plummet, but you have not defamed him. Truth is a defence in a defamation action precisely because: nobody has a "right to the value of his reputation" per se.
Similarly, if you tell a falsehood about someone, but they cannot prove that your lie caused them to suffer an economic loss, the court will not make you compensate the person for the economic loss he suffered. For example, you may have lied that A's pills are poisonous, but A might also have told his entire pill market that he wishes they were dead. In such a case, when people stop buying A's pills, the court will not necessarily find your lie to be the cause of A's failure to sell pills. If the court finds that A lost pill profits entirely because he told his entire pill market that he wishes they were dead, the court will not require you to compensate A for his lost pill profits, even though you lied about his pills. If A proves that your lie is what caused him to suffer lost pill profits, the court will require you to compensate A for his lost pill profits, even though A has utterly destroyed his own reputation for wanting to keep people alive. The court is not seeking to compensate A for alleged losses to the value of his reputation. It is seeking to compensate him for lost profits attributable to someone's lie about A or his pills. Again, nobody has a "right to the value of" his reputation, per se.
There certainly are cases where X has lied about A and, as a result of being shunned by those who heard and believed X's lie, A has suffered mental distress or illness. In such cases, the court may require X to pay money to A to compensate him for the suffering, but not to compensate A for an alleged loss of the value of his reputation, per se.
Likewise, there are certainly cases where the court will make X pay "punitive and exemplary" damages to A. Such payments are not compensation to A for a loss suffered by A. They are punishments of X that serve the purpose of warning the public that they too might be punished if they lie like X did about A. Such damages are ordered to be paid in defence of the freedom of every individual to make and act upon decisions that are consistent with the pursuit of one's own happiness.
Rights, Speech, and Defamation: A Proper Defence
Defamation laws are not a violation of a mythical "free speech" right. Rather, they are a defence of your freedom, which is necessary for your survival and for the resultant achievement of your own happiness.
The law of defamation cannot be a limit on a moral "the right of free speech" because there is no moral "right of free speech". There are only three moral rights, and the first necessitates the latter two: the right not to have one's life taken without one's consent and, as a consequence, the right not to have one's liberty or property taken without one's consent. One is not free to use speech as a means of taking another person's life, liberty, or property without his consent.
So, what is to be made of this supposed "right of free speech"? It is nothing more than loose short-hand that says the following: "Nothing I say – other than what I say to take another person's life, liberty, or property from him without his consent – makes it right for anyone to take my life, liberty, or property without my consent". Or, more succinctly: "Nothing I say – other than what I say to limit another's freedom – makes it right for anyone to limit my freedom".
If you feel the urge to speak of a "right of free speech", don't. If someone challenges a law on the basis that it violates "the right of free speech", do not make up additional rights to balance-against or to derogate from the mythical "right of free speech". Do not invent a "right to the value of one's reputation" to justify defamation laws. Just explain that all one ever has, as rights, are the rights not to have one's own life, liberty, or property taken from one without one's consent, and that defamation laws are one implementation of those rights in law.

During tonight's show, Jemma is opening up to Brandi in the bathroom and gets emotional. She tells Brandi "I want them to be my friend, it's constant just 'go away, you're not part of the crew, you're not part of us, we prefer Trisha over you."
After hearing boos from the crowd during the eviction, Chad is being consoled by Jemma and Trisha in the bedroom. Sarah tells him to get up and to 'stop the pity party'. Sarah leaves the bedroom, Jemma states; "She's so jealous right now. She's jealous that we're talking to you right now as you're getting the female attention, trust me this is what girls do."
Sarah joins Derek, Jordan and Sam in the smoking area, she says; "Chad's having a pity party with the girls right now as he's upset. He cares what the people think. Me, him and Trisha are similar people and call ourselves the 'in-betweeners', cos we are in-between you lot and in the 30 something category and we've all lived alone and not used to being around people. For us three it's probably been the hardest for us to adjust." Sarah adds about Sam and Jordan; "We can't always keep up with your energy all the time!"
In the smoking area, Jordan is talking about Sarah to Jemma, Amelia and Sam; "She's gone, we feel like the in-betweeners…she was using our high energy as a negative." Jemma quips; "She's a weird freak!"
Jordan continues; "She said you're secluding Chad and using our positivity as a negativity…" Derek adds; "When a person is like that, they can't feed off your good energy, they want to bring it down to the level they're feeling." Sarah joins the group in the smoking area
Jordan asks Sarah; "I'm confused about what you mean about me and Sam secluding you and Chad from the group?" She replies; "I feel like there's three different groups of us, you guys have got loads of energy and there's like us in the middle that haven't been around loads of people…" Jemma adds; "You keep thinking you're different to everyone else!" Jemma and Sarah begin to argue.

If you or someone you know has 20 years or more equity in your home, please be aware of unscrupulous investors asking to purchase your home with attractive cash offers. You should always get a second opinion on the price of your home if you are thinking of selling. I will look at comparable solds and produce a report (it takes me a couple hours to make the report) to show you what your home could sell for if you listed it with a realtor on the local MLS. It is often much more than what an unsolicited "investor" is offering. Don't fall for it and make sure your loved ones know this is currently happening in Colorado because of our hot real estate market.
A Division of Real Estate Consumer Advisory: Take 5 to Get Wise and learn how to protect your real estate nest egg.
An offer may include a cash transaction, a quick sale, no inspection, and the freedom to leave your problems behind.
● Go to http://www.dora.colorado.gov/dre to research licensed professionals.
● Go to your local County government website and look up property values for you and your neighbors.
● Be wary if you weren't thinking about selling.
● Always keep someone you trust in the loop.
● Do research on real estate brokers working in your neighborhood.
Most importantly, know the value of your property and understand the motivations of why an investor wants to buy your property. By "Taking 5 to Get Wise" you can protect your nest egg.

Tatlarin is 20 km (12 mile) far to Nevsehir. It is presumed that Tatlarin Church which is located right beside the Tatlarin Underground City was built in the11th century. In the church whose entrance has been ruined, there are the portraits of the nine Saints and the person who had the church built apart from the frescoes of Jesus and Virgin Mary. Dark grey has been used as the background color of the church whose frescoes have been protected quite well and scenes have been separated from one another with partitions, and in depictions, however, purple, mustard color and red have been used.

Hi and thanks for the response. It is a bit weird since everythink works fine on my tablet but on my HTC the icon will not show. I will leave it for now and sort it out later.
If your device is running Lollipop you will see the title but no icon.

I have Lollipop on my Phone which seems to explain it. That is something I do not like about Android - too many changes!
Thanks for all the good answers and effort. Highly appreciated.

Does the CA BRN view Puerto Rico as international?
Hello, I'm currently in Nursing school in Puerto Rico and looking to move back to California when I finish. As far as the application to take the NCLEX in California should I fill out the paperwork for applying as an international student or is Puerto Rico considered part of the United States for those purposes? Thanks!
Students are allowed to work while in school and there are many students who work full time while in the program (I'm sure their lives are crazy busy). The fact that it is a night program makes working easier. It is difficult to find work here, though I'm sure it depends on your skill set and Spanish abilities.
The cost per trimester depends on the number of credits you're taking. The cost for my first trimester was $2,310 taking 10 credits. It's more expensive this trimester because I'm taking more credits, but I can't find the paper saying exactly how much.
Eligibility requirements to sit for the NCLEX-PN in California?
Thanks! I found the application on the CA BVNPT website. I'll check it out with my school after break. I'm still a little confused what parts of my RN schooling must be completed before I'm eligible, but I'll keep looking.
Hello all, This is my first time posting to the forum. I am currently a BSN student in an accelerated 2 year program in Puerto Rico. It is a trimester program and I am halfway through my second trimester. I'm trying to figure out at what point in my program I'll be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN exam. Ideally I'd like to work as an LPN in California this summer. I have a job lined up if I can get the license in time, but I just don't know if that's possible. I've been searching online but haven't found anything. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

Etsy was started about 13 years ago, but has come on strong over the past few years as the visual web has come into its own. Etsy has become the go-to ecommerce site for all things handmade and artists and craftspeople from all walks of life have found success selling their products on its platform.
Etsy's success has not shown any signs of slowing down, so I decided it was time to dedicate a stat post just to them.

Two years after the coup: What's up with the Houthis
With at least 10,000 killed in Yemen's 18-month-old civil war, several important factors explain why the Houthis are continuing to fight
Dr. Theodore Karasik
Published: 23 September ,2016: 12:00 AM GST Updated: 20 May ,2020: 10:49 AM GST
Two years ago the Houthi's launched their most recent uprising in what is called the 21 September Revolution, which ousted Yemeni President Abd Rabbuah Mansur Hadi last year. Since Hadi fled to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia amid Houthi advances on Aden, Yemen's chaos has continued unabated.
The Houthis and Saleh's General People's Congress (GPC) hold most of Yemen's northern half, while forces working for the exiled government share control of the rest of the country with tribes. At least 10,000 people have been killed in Yemen's 18-month-old civil war.
Several important factors explain why the Houthis are continuing to fight.
First, Houthi intransigence is killing the UN-sponsored talks to try to end 18 months of fighting in the southern Arabian Peninsula state. The negotiations between the sides collapsed in failure this month.
The talks ended abruptly after the Houthis and Saleh's General People's Congress (GPC) announced the formation of a ten-member governing council on August 6, ignoring a warning from UN Yemen Envoy Ould Cheikh Ahmed that such a move would violate UN Security Council resolutions on how to solve the conflict. Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir stated that the Iran-backed Al Houthi militants would not be allowed to take over Yemen.
Houthis and forces loyal to ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh intensified attacks into the southern Najran province. Houthi militias fired rockets targeting Saudi positions in Najran city in southern Saudi Arabia on August 16, killing at least seven civilians. The casualties included four Saudi nationals and three foreign nationals. Houthi forces fired a ballistic missile toward Najran city two days earlier on August 14, killing at least six people.
Second, is the Houthi relationship with the Islamic Republic of Iran. After the Houthi coup Iran stepped up support to Sana with supplies including missile parts and maintenance. A GCC official stated "Iran resupplies the Houthis on a regular basis despite attempts to block Tehran's activity."
The Assab Naval Base, used by the Kingdom and its allies, is critical in blockading the Houthi-held ports on the Red Sea and preventing Iran from resupplying the rebels. Clearly, this maritime solution is not 100 percent effective and thus more exposure of this network is necessary.
The recent wave of missile attacks against Saudi targets in the kingdom's southern territory illustrates Tehran's potential to maintain the Houthi forces' means to bog the Saudis down on their southern border
Operation Decisive Storm
Of course, Saudi Arabia's campaign against the Houthis and their allies has been ongoing since March 2015 when the Kingdom launched Operation Decisive Storm followed by the ongoing Operation Restore Hope. This multinational coalition led by Riyadh is making progress against the Houthis and their capital of Sana.
Military operations, combined with humanitarian aid to besieged parts of the country, is being used to achieve tactical and charitable goals. A notable achievement by the Kingdom and its allies was Operation Golden Arrow in August 2015, when pro-Hadi forces retook the strategic southern city of Aden from the Houthis.
Third, the Houthis are allowing al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and ISIS to thrive in Yemen by creating more chaos. While AQAP is engaged in fighting against the Houthis, ISIS is continuing to attack Yemen's security forces and their recruits. A suicide car bombing targeting young army recruits in Aden killed some 71 people on August 29. ISIS took credit for the attack.
In addition, AQAP and ISIS are escalating their attacks in recent months, notably in the southern port city of Aden. The Houthi rebels and their allies are in the way of making progress against these extremist groups. There is no doubt, thanks to the Houthis, that AQAP and ISIS are trying to position themselves as the Sunni resistance to the Houthi rebel movement.
A key question is when will President Hadi return to power and what will the internationally-recognized Yemeni president's GCC backers do to improve the prospects for his return to power? Having usurped de facto control of the capital last January, the longer the Houthis maintain their grip on Sana, the movement is putting forward a powerful message to their domestic and international foes that continued military bombardment will fail to eject their fighters from the country's main northern city.
The Houthi delegation visit to Baghdad late last month for meetings with Iraqi Foreign Minister Ibrahim Jaafari and Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq Cleric Ammar al-Hakim is part of a wider, alarming campaign for finding regional support.
In addition, by continuing to arm the Houthis, Iran communicates to Riyadh that the Islamic Republic is capable of empowering its Shi'ite/Zaidi allies on the kingdom's borders, threatening Saudi Arabia's national interests, and consolidating its influence in Arab lands.
The recent wave of missile attacks against Saudi targets in the kingdom's southern territory illustrates Tehran's potential to maintain the Houthi forces' means to bog the Saudis down on their southern border at a time when the Iranians are determined to distract Riyadh from the crises in Iraq and Syria in which the Islamic Republic's stakes are actually much higher than they are in Yemen.
As the fluid, complicated and multifaceted conflict in Yemen continues to rage on the second anniversary of the Houthi's successful uprising, it is worth questioning the Houthis' agenda moving forward: Is Ansar Allah (the movement's dominant militia) fighting to establish a Zaidi proto-state in northern Yemen along the Saudi border? Although appearing to be highly unrealistic, do the Houthis have a vision of one day ruling all of the war-torn country?
Regardless, until the Houthis lay down their arms and make concessions which they have not yet been willing to make based on offers from their adversaries, Saudi Arabia will continue its campaign in Yemen.

Trash Tongue Talker
by Jack White
Album: Blunderbuss (2012)
This bar room groover finds White singing about a female stalker. "I got no truck with you woman, always coming over when I ain't home," he complains. White told NME he made up the lyrics on the spot. "This was the first song recorded for the album," he explained. "It was the first day, and it was just the vibe of it. I wanted to get that vibe on and get that rhythm, and the words just kind of came out of that, playing live with all of those guys."

This study tested whether life history strategy (LHS) and its intergenerational transmission could explain young adult use of common psychoactive substances. We tested a sequential structural equation model using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. During young adulthood, fast LHS explained 61% of the variance in overall liability for substance use. Faster parent LHS predicted poorer health and lesser alcohol use, greater neuroticism and cigarette smoking, but did not predict fast LHS or overall liability for substance use among young adults. Young adult neuroticism was independent of substance use controlling for fast LHS. The surprising finding of independence between parent and child LHS casts some uncertainty upon the identity of the parent and child LHS variables. Fast LHS may be the primary driver of young adult use of common psychoactive substances. However, it is possible that the young adult fast LHS variable is better defined as young adult mating competition. We discuss our findings in depth, chart out some intriguing new directions for life history research that may clarify the dimensionality of LHS and its mediation of the intergenerational transmission of substance use, and discuss implications for substance abuse prevention and treatment.

Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Cigarette Use (see Smoking); Drug Use; Modeling, Structural Equation; Sexual Activity; Substance Use
Psychoactive substance use has been typical of most traditional and modern societies and is maintained in the population despite the potential for abuse and related harms, raising the possibility that it (or its underlying causes) confers fitness benefits that offset its costs. Although it seems plausible that psychoactive substances have facilitated survival among ancestral and modern humans, it is not clear that this enhancement has translated into Darwinian fitness through mating and ultimately reproductive success. In the current study, we discuss potential mechanisms by which substance use might make unique contributions to mating success, attend to the possibility that the effects between substance use and mating success are instead confounded, and use structural equations and nationally representative data to determine whether these effects are more likely causal or spurious. Our findings indicate that once we know participants' scores on "third" variables at each round in early young adulthood, their substance use gives us little additional information about their current prospects for acquiring sexual partners and no additional information about of their future prospects. Thus, if adaptations for substance use evolved, their adaptive value does not seem to be found in mating success.

Adolescent Life History Strategy in the Intergenerational Transmission and Developmental Stability of Substance Use

Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Cigarette Use (see Smoking); Delinquency/Gang Activity; Depression (see also CESD); Drug Use; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Life Course; Personality/Big Five Factor Model or Traits; Substance Use
Research suggests that fast life history strategy (LHS) may be a primary driver of substance use among young adults. However, a recent study reported that (a) young adult fast LHS did not subsume all theorized indicators of LHS during this period and (b) fast LHS among parents did not predict young adult fast LHS or liability for use of common substances. In this study, we used structural equations and national data to test whether these findings generalized to adolescence. In addition, given that LHS and substance use share genetic and neuropsychological bases, we examined whether fast LHS could explain the developmental stability of substance use. Overall, our results extend the findings discussed above and suggest that fast LHS fully explains the developmental stability of substance use among youth. We discuss implications for life history models, research applying life history theory and substance use, and substance abuse prevention and treatment.

Q: Ubuntu Evolution POP3 send/receive deleted the files off of my server! How do I undelete (Get them back on)? Actually did this with both my Hotmail and my Webmail.godaddy.com accounts. I now know how to tell it not to delete the emails in the future but can't seem to figure out how to replace the ones already deleted and now only available on the computer with my Evolution account on it.

A: What you're really wanting to do, if possible, is switch to IMAP instead of POP3.
If IMAP is available on your mail servers you could try this:

*

*Set up a second account in Evolution connecting to your mail server using IMAP

*Drag and drop the mails into the IMAP instance of the account.

That should copy them back to the mail server.  Personally I'd stick with IMAP instead of POP3 (I use IMAP for all my accounts) as it's more aimed at storing the mail on the server whereas POP3 is aimed at downloading the mails to the client computer.


This book investigates how cultural sameness and difference has been presented in a variety of forms and genres of children's literature from Denmark, Germany, France, Russia, Britain, and the United States; ranging from English caricatures of the 1780s to dynamic representations of contemporary cosmopolitan childhood. The chapters address different models of presenting foreigners using examples from children's educational prints, dramatic performances, travel narratives, comics, and picture books. Contributors illuminate the ways in which the texts negotiate the tensions between the Enlightenment ideal of internationalism and discrete national or ethnic identities cultivated since the Romantic era, providing examples of ethnocentric cultural perspectives and of cultural relativism, as well as instances where discussions of child reader agency indicate how they might participate eventually in a tolerant transnational community.

"I am a staunch supporter of values and commitment"
Aug 2018	, by Realty Plus, in Interviews, Uncategorized
The three decade old Sanghvi Group of Companies recently unveiled their new brand identity – Sanghvi Parrsssva.SapnaSrivastava spoke to Ramesh Sanghvi, Chairman & Managing Director, Sanghvi Parrsssva Group on the revamp of the brand identity and future plans.
Established in 1983, Sanghvi Parrsssva group of companies takespride in offering custom-made solutions to all sections of the society from budget residences to exclusive luxury penthouses and villas.
Our conversation started with the reasons for the new brand identity for the group. Ramesh Sanghvi gave the brief history of the company to help understand the sequence of changes. My father started working with Lodha and we were the non- name partners. I was around 17 year of age when I got involved in the realty business. It was in 1985 that Lodha Sanghvi name was established. In 1995 due to the ideological differences, the two companies decided to separate after completing all the projects.
The family business that included Ramesh Sanghvi and his three brothers was called the Sanghvi Group."It was in 2015 that I decided to form a real estate business in the name of Sri Parrsssva Group in my individual capacity. I completed all the projects taken under the Sanghvi Group. This year we rebranded the company as Sanghvi Parrsssva and have taken up more projects and land to develop. The latest projects are residential buildings at Charni Road and Khetwadi in South Mumbai and one Lower Parel. We have almost completed an affordable housing at Ategaon and one more is under development"
Commenting on the future course of action Ramesh Sanghvi said that he would continue the brand legacy & trust that the group had earned over the years and have worked so hard to build. "We have revamped our brand identity and also infused new blood into the organization. My daughters Vama&Prarthana Sanghvi were inducted on the Board as Directors of the Companyand will help us stay innovative and bring new ideas in the business, "he added,
The Industry Challenges
Ramesh Sanghvi asserts that RERA has come now but therehave been developers in the sector that had been following all the compliances as what RERA asks for today. "I feel where developers go wrong in their business strategy is when they do not focus on performance and instead over stretch their fiancés by investing in many projects or land. There are enough finance options and attractive interest rates available for developers. We ourselves have done most of our business with ICICI and have competitive offers from others like Tata and Reliance finance. What banks want is a good financial record of a developer and timely repayments."
Sanghvi believes that GST has impacted the home buyers purchasing capacity as the taxes for them have increased on the other hand Input Tax Credit (ITC) provisions are still not very clear. "Developers receive Input Tax credit primarily on steel and cement. The near completion stage projects do not require much steel or cement and therefore the ITC gets reduced. On an average only 6% gets passed on to the consumers. Also there is no fixed time period of receiving the ITC."
Sanghvi further explained that about 45-55 approvals and compliances from various agencies are required for any given project. "Approving Authorities should maintain time limit for approval procedures,' he remarked.
Criteria for home loans should change and interest should be reduced further for the home buyers. Infrastructure development is happening but we need more connectivity to city outskirts for affordable housing to become reality.
Giving example of slow pace of infrastructure development, Sanghvi gave an example of his project in Atgaonthat has been going on for last 5 years but the infrastructure and connectivity has not improved till now. He added, "Another example is Nallasopara on the Mumbai outskirts which 30 years ago had one train from city centre of 1 hour 10 min duration time and even now it has only one train of same speed. After Virar there is no rail connection though announcements had been made long back."
Changing Business Environment
Clients are more educated and more aware and Sanghvi feels that is good for both the client and the developer. "Today they come with all the information about the project and the surrounding area which reduces our time in explaining them about the locality and the project. They even come prepared with the price analysis of the projects in vicinity." He said.
According to him now consumer expects full value, earlier builder would build the building, home buyers would come and stay and infrastructure around like gardens, amenities etc. would be developed later. Today, developers can't take that liberty; they have to develop the project in accordance with what was shown to the buyer.
Another important point Sanghvi raised was the changing role real estate brokers. He said, "Earlier we did not need brokers or channel partners as projects would sell by name. A board at the site, advertisement in a newspaper and word of mouth reference of existing buyers would be enough. Today, there is a lot more competition in the market and brokers have replaced marketing advisors, now they inform us about the marketing schemes, client profile and pricing strategy. Even the advertising that earlier comprised only of project picture and prices has become more innovative and has to be designed in sync with the target audience. Social media and digital marketing is now becoming very important for any developer to connect with the customers."
The Bright Horizon for the Sector
Another five years we will see surge in real estate sector. Industrial & Warehousing is coming up in Navi Mumbai and other parts of the country. Commercial real estate is booming in pockets where job opportunities exist. Residential too will prosper with growing economy, job creation and now increasing transparency in the sector. The government is focusing on infrastructure which is good news for real estate.
Talking about the future plans for Sanghvi Parrsssva Group, Ramesh Sanghvi proudly said his daughters who are also studying professional courses have plans to take the company towards being more corporate and in a strategic way grow the company business. "Till now we did not talk about our work or our values and commitment, the legacy that we have followed for years. But now we want to increase the visibility of our good work and also contribute to the welfare of the society through 'Seema Sanghvi Welfare Foundation' and CSR activities towardssocial causes." On a concluding note Ramesh Sanghvi said, "I feel we have just started and there is a long way to go."

"On My Own" by Briya Jordan
Katerina Vaiou: "Meditation Stories"
Katerina Vaiou is an accomplished musician and composer from Athens, Greece, who loves to experiment with many different musical styles. She is especially interested in cinematic, theatrical, and soundtrack music. "Meditation Stories" is a meditation album she released in 2020. It includes eight relaxation tracks featuring minimal piano and ethnic sounds.
When asked what her approach was for making "Meditation Stories," she explained that she tries to have an open mind when she writes. She doesn't want to be stuck just in one genre. Variety is everything for her and she believes we must appreciate "difference" of any kind. This includes music, people, and everything around us. Katerina tries to put forth a message through her music that we must end racism and learn to live with love for one another. Her music is a mirror of who she is, and the only way she can express her true feelings.
The opening track "Quiet River" begins the album in full relaxation mode with eastern sounding instrumentation. It builds slowly as interlaced melodies are gently introduced. The song develops in a calm and soothing way which establishes the main theme of the record.
Next up, "Indian Fever" starts out with spacey synth pads, coupled with an exotic middle eastern sitar melody. A futuristic, groovy bass synth is introduced next before a Bonhamesque drum beat kicks the song into full gear. You can close your eyes and imagine taking a magic carpet ride in a dream-like trance before Katerina's chanting vocals close out the track.
"Just A Piano Story" is a beautiful piano-only composition that brings the vibe back down to a state of total relaxation. Katerina's musical and compositional skills are on full display here.
Track four, "Alternative Bossa" is one of the most adventurous tracks on the album. It grows with an intensity that sounds cinematic. This song features a wide variety of instruments highlighted by an electric guitar solo.
The next two tracks, "As You Were Leaving," and "Meditation," are meditation tracks that further establish the overall theme of the album. Both are very intricate compositions that highlight Katerina Vaiou's mastery of this genre. She has a unique ability to create music that is interesting, yet calming and meditative.
Piano is the featured instrument on the second to last track, "Summer Collapses Into Fall." Once again, Katerina's musicianship shines through. This composition flows beautifully and sounds like something you would hear in an Oscar-winning movie soundtrack.
The closing track, "Descalzos en la Arena" translates to "Barefoot in the Sand" in English. Mixing Spanish and Eastern sounds, this is the only song on the album where vocals are prominently featured, and they don't disappoint. Undoubtedly the most unique sounding track in this collection, it highlights the diversity in Katerina Vaiou's music. She has a wonderful ability to seamlessly blend genres to create her own sound.
"Meditation Stories" is available now on all streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Youtube.
Hear Katerina Vaiou on the Digital Vinyl Playlist.

Resurrect Your Dead Marriage
by Nico Bougas June 30, 2017
written by Nico Bougas June 30, 2017
Nico Bougas, Special to ASSIST News Service
CINCINNATI, OH, CRS/Unite 17 (ANS – June 30, 2017) — Marriage problems, pain and heartbreak. While we like to think being a Christian should make a difference, statistics say otherwise. Research has shown that Christians are not very different from non-believers when it comes to how often they divorce, and even their acceptance of it.
Yet there is hope, say authors Reginald and Renea Morris, even for a marriage that appears to be dead.
"Jesus is an expert in raising the dead," author Reginald Morris reminds us, who with his wife Renea wrote Resurrect Your Dead Marriage, a newly released book from Carpenter's Son Publishing.
Even when it means overcoming infidelity, rekindling love in a spouse's broken heart, and getting past the pain?
Yes, the couple says, speaking from personal experience. Reginald and Renea Morris say their own 30-year marriage has survived three separations and a contested divorce, joyfully resurrected against seemingly insurmountable odds. Now happily married and going strong, the authors wrote Resurrect Your Dead Marriage to share what they learned and the 30 biblical principles that connect troubled marriages with the uncompromising transformative work that God can't wait to do for marriages.
Drawing on scriptural principles and examples, the book looks deeper into the relationship a Christian couple has to see the standing of each individual in Christ and in the church, in a world where the enemy seeks to defeat believers.
"Restoration of love in the body of Christ is the underlying message of this book." Says Morris. "If we truly believed the Bible, we would realize how ridiculous it is to think we can divorce one another and believe it is somehow going to be OK with the Lord, when we are going to be spending eternity with one another?"
They share hurts, mistakes and what they discovered so that others can leverage these same principles and get these same Christ-led results working for them. There are chapters that explain how to overcome infidelity, build a bridge of love and how to get a broken-hearted spouse to come home again.
As authors they outline principles and lovingly challenge common assumptions and attitudes. They do this with candor as they tell their own story of pain and heartbreak, giving God the glory but cautioning that this process takes work and humility, and above all trust in God.
"You will need to love what seems unlovable, believe what seems impossible, stay patient when it appears that the circumstances aren't working and maintain fellowship with other believers even if it is the last thing you feel like doing", says Reginald.
With alternating chapters by each of them, Renea adds her own perspective.
"More than a testimony of one couple's victory over a dead marriage, this book is a revelation to the body of Christ about how to reign as a kingdom people and resist today's common worldview on marriage, separation, and divorce," said Renea.
Reginald and Renea are founding pastors of Restoration Church International, Athens, Ohio, a fellowship of believers that encourages people to become all they were created to be. Their ministry to marriage, under the umbrella of Reginald Morris Ministries, offers hope and support for couples but also provides additional resources for the church in its vital role to help couples bring glory to God through their marriages.

Representative Joe Kennedy III, the rising star of the Democratic Party and nephew to Democratic candidate Chris Kennedy, held two rallies in Chicago Tuesday on his uncle's behalf.
The congressman who gained attention for his response to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address, held a rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Mi Tierra restaurant in Little Village.
Chris Kennedy recently spent some time in New York and Florida fundraising. Although state-wide polls have shown Kennedy in 3rd place, a new Cook County only poll shows Kennedy in second place.
Senator Bernie Sanders, who came within two points of winning the Illinois Democratic Primary in 2016, is also headed to Chicago this week—a visit that's causing a tug of war for Illinois Democrats.
Who is progressive enough to share the stage and "feel the Bern"?
Sanders' main man is Cook County Commissioner Jesus Chuy Garcia, who supported Sanders in 2016 and traveled to the Iowa caucus, New York primary and elsewhere on Sanders' behalf. The official press release for Sanders says he "will join Chuy Garcia at Rally on the Southwest side of Chicago." The rally will take place on Thursday, Feb. 22 in the Marshall Square neighborhood.
There is no mention of any Democratic candidate for governor sharing that stage, even though the grassroots advocacy organization that grew out of the Sanders campaign, Our Revolution Illinois, has endorsed State Sen. Daniel Biss. Biss' name is not included. Commissioner Garcia and several other key members of Our Revolution Illinois, have endorsed Chris Kennedy.
Could both make their way to the stage? Or will they both find a way to have a photo taken with the popular progressive Sanders?
In the past several weeks, Biss has been targeted by Pritzker TV ads that criticized him for voting to reduce union pensions, a move that Biss now admits was a mistake. Biss has been trying to gain progressives' support by offering a plan that includes free college tuition. He has recently received the endorsement of several groups including the People's Action—a group that promotes racial and economic justice.
Democrats running for Congress in other districts, including the crowded field in the 6th District and Marie Newman in the 3rd, are hoping to attend the Sanders rally and are anxiously awaiting a coveted endorsement.
The press release for Sanders' visit mentions that Our Revolution also endorses State candidates Aaron Ortiz and Delia Ramirez, as well as Cook County Commissioner candidates Alma Anaya and Brandon Johnson.

Chris Webb wrote this post: Binding an Excel table to the results of an MDX query. In a comment at the bottom, Scott Gall suggested using VBA. I want to take this one step further to allow custom MDX to be filtered by the filters from the Pivot Table Field List, while not actually using a pivot table (similarly to formulas mode).
Performance. MDX generated by pivot tables can be up to 10 times slower than custom MDX. I haven't got any hard and fast numbers, but I think the discrepancy is greater in tabular than multidimensional – especially when crossjoining large hierarchies (or nesting in the Pivot Table Field List).
Custom calculations that are relevant only to a single report, and therefore don't warrant being built into the cube/tabular model. We can tackle this using the OLAP Pivot Table Extensions, but there are still some cases where we might want calculated members on hierarchies, or custom layout of members on axes, etc. for which it would be nice to use custom MDX.
Large data sets in formulas mode perform worse than pivot tables, let alone custom MDX.
Formulas mode doesn't work with a variable number of rows depending on filter selection. Sometimes Excel formulas can be great for things like what-if analysis, etc. in this situation.
Multiple charts/grids sharing the same filters. We can use slicer buttons for this, but we may still be on Excel 2007, or it might just be a report that is better suited to filters than slicer buttons.
Don't get too excited about the code. It is VBA.
It gets the connection info from an existing connection (Data tab > Connections) called "AdventureWorks", which you will have to configure.
Place custom MDX in the Query tab with the <<Filters>> placeholder in the where clause as per the example. You can then hide the Query tab from the users.
The sample query provided was written against the tabular Adventure Works. You will have to change it if using the multidimensional Adventure Works or a different database.
Check the RefreshButton_Click() macro and change the constants at the top as required. For example, you will need to change the intFirstReportRow constant if you add more filters.
