In honour of their much loved, only child, Vedant Kidambi (special MS by Research student, 2008-2010), Girija and Uday Kumar (Kidambi) have created an endowment fund supported by a generous donation of 20 lakhs towards research in the field of Cognitive Science.
Vedant Kartik Kidambi was an exceptional MS by Research student in IIIT-H when his promising life was prematurely snuffed out by a recklessly driven van in 2010. Recounting Vedant's serendipitous entry and acceptance into IIIT-H, his mother, Girija Uday Kumar describes him as a free spirit. One who did not take kindly to mediocrity and regimentation in education as currently witnessed by the frenzied preparation for a life in engineering through entrance exams and coaching classes. Despite admission into a prestigious engineering college, he dropped out after 2 years, unhappy and disillusioned. During this period, however he conducted several "thought experiments", the results of which were meticulously documented. Upon parental persuasion, Vedant completed a BSc degree at a local college.
He was fascinated by and drawn towards the field of Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Robotics. As an independent researcher, Vedant worked on a project titled: "An algorithm for the evolution of an Artificial Intelligence". To get this work validated, they approached Dr. Bipin Indurkhya, former faculty of IIIT-H, who commended it as "thesis level work". "…recognizing his talent, potential and motivation, we admitted Vedant as a special student in our MS by research program. This is our premium research-track master's program, and we only admit students who show research potential. Vedant's case was also unusual because we admitted him post-BSc: normally we take post-BE or post-BTech students", said Prof. Indurkhya in a 2012 testimonial. The professor also wrote, "He was enthusiastic, full of confidence, but also humble and fully aware that there was a lot he needed to learn. It is very difficult to find these two qualities in people at the same time: they are either confident and arrogant, or humble and timid." Likening Vedant to a dry sponge that quickly absorbs everything, Prof. Indurkhya said Vedant supplemented his regular course work with papers and other books to increase his background knowledge. "His research area was to design and implement artificial intelligence systems based on the architecture of the brain. This is a contemporary research area that is going to have a significant impact on many aspects of our society in the near and far future", predicted Dr. Indurkhya.
along the lines of the cerebellum", affirms Girija. For someone who struggled continually to fit into the rigid, conventional educational system, Girija says that Vedant found IIIT-H to be very different. "He loved and enjoyed working at IIIT-H, and as his parents, we would like to thank the people and faculty for giving our son an unfettered atmosphere to blossom and passionately pursue his goals. And this is our way of saying 'Thank you'. We would not like to impose conditions and would like the faculty to utilize the endowment amount for research purposes preferably in the field of Cognitive Science – Vedant's field, in his name, as we know of the paucity of funds traditionally available for research. This resonates with the thoughts that Vedant had penned in his journal, saying, 'Research is my life'".
Calling Vedant a "left-handed and precocious child", Girija tells us of how at the tender age of nine, he took to writing science fiction stories and poems inspired by the works of Arthur C. Clarke, etc., and his own keen interest in the 'Star Trek' television series. She says, "As an eleven-year-old, he had written in his diary in May 1996, 'Are there other beings in the universe?' and had answered it himself – 'We still do not know. They may be using a different frequency of waves or communicate rite (written as he spelt it then) through their own brains which I call Brainwaves in my stories.' It is little wonder then that he began writing a novel at the age of 17, titled "Different Epochs". It was published by his parents in 2014. According to a review of the book by Dr. Bhaskara Rao, a cosmic-ray physicist, "(The) book is a masterpiece of science fiction, second to none in the same category. It deals with an epic intergalactic war for the possession of planet Earth. The battle is between the Human Empire and the Ghaik Federation, spanning several galaxies of the universe." Paying tribute to Vedant's vivid imagination and also deep knowledge of many subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy, Biology, Philosophy, Psychology, Political Systems, etc, Dr. Rao said that it is not difficult to write about something which really happens. "(But) It is very great to imagine something and write convincingly. Mr. Vedant had an excellent imagination".
From the description of the 'author' in his book, we can glean that he had eclectic interests, excelling in whatever he pursued. He not only composed music and poetry, but also played the guitar, enjoying western as well as Indian classical and other genres of music. In fact, he said he could read music 'like a book'. Philosophy was one of the subjects he had made a rather deep study of. This included western philosophy from pre-Socratic times to the present day, as well as Indian philosophy. He was an active member of the 'Society to Save Rocks' and even more passionate about riding his Royal Enfield bike, whom he affectionately referred to as 'Thumpy'.
For Vedant, his days at IIIT-H were truly his best, stimulating his intellect like never before. He has documented his philosophical and thought-provoking discussions with faculty such as the then Head of Centre of Exact Humanities, the late Dr. Navjyoti Singh, former Director Prof. Rajeev Sangal and his guide Prof. Bipin Indurkhya. "An evening spent in the company of wise learned men, in conversation about the matters affecting today's society and life in general…We were talking about robots and computers, programs and circuits, but the real issue on the table was whether it is possible to understand what it means to be human," wrote Vedant on his blog. He continued with, "The conversation on sociology, and the philosophical debate earlier that day and the visit to the temple at the start of the day, all three of those events are sure to leave lasting impressions on my mind. Each of these events enabled me to understand each other event in a way I have never seen them before. All in all, that day, the 28th of October, 2009, yesterday, was the best day of my life so far".
Girija mentions that Vedant was highly respectful and very fond of his teachers, especially his mentor and guide Prof. Bipin Indurkhya. He also held in high esteem other faculty members such as Prof. Robbie Sethi (who then conducted classes in Creative Writing), Dr. Deb (who conducted a course for him in Neurophilosophy) and many others. Girija adds, "He also mentioned Dr. Jayanthi, Dr. Kavita, and several others with affection as they made up this nurturing environment pervading IIIT-H." Girija recollects Vedant speaking fondly of his senior, Dr. Amitash Ojha who often guided him and gave him much support and encouragement.
Vedant's father N. Uday Kumar is a practicing architect and was a Committee member and office bearer (Secretary) of the Indian Institute of Architecture – A.P. chapter for eight years. His mother Girija, a former school teacher, later worked as an educator designing and planning for improvement of learning levels of children in Government Primary schools in Mathematics, Telugu, also worked in Science Education, Research and Training and as curriculum developer for developing English speaking skills in underprivileged children via games on digital devices. They both currently lead semi-retired lives.

California Bill to Scrap Vaccine Exemption Moves Forward
Bill that would prohibit parents from not vaccinating their kids passes state senate
The California senate has passed a bill that could help ensure that parents vaccinate their children, months after a measles outbreak in the state linked to low vaccination rates. The bill, which passed the senate 25 to 10, would prohibit parents from not vaccinating their kids for religious or philosophical beliefs, public radio station KPCC reports. The bill now moves on the state assembly. If it eventually becomes law, California would become the 32nd state to ban such exemptions from vaccines. The bill comes only a few months after a measles outbreak which infected 169 people from 20 states was traced back to a Disneyland theme park in the state. Researchers point to low vaccination rates as the reason for the outbreak.
Puberty Suppression Now A Choice For Teens On Medicaid In Oregon
Michael was born biologically male 13 years ago on the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation. Mom, Dee, remembers buying dresses for three nieces when Michael — who now goes by Michaela — was about 6 years old
Michaela wants to transition from male to female — meaning she doesn't want to grow an Adam's apple, facial hair or a heavy male body structure. To stop that process, she now gets an injection once every three months,
"It hurts really bad," says Michaela.
Michaela has private insurance. But the medication she gets, which Medicaid in Oregon now covers, is Lupron. It costs about $7,500 for three months. A few states now cover the cost of medical treatment for people who are transgender but Oregon is one of the few that pays for drugs that suppress puberty in children who think they might want to change their gender.
Lupron has been used for years on children with precocious puberty — that is, children who start puberty too early. It's also used to treat prostate cancer and fibroid tumors. The state estimates that about 175 people will use some kind of transgender treatment under the Oregon Health Plan this year, but it doesn't have figures on how many of those people might be seeking puberty suppression.

'Gertie's Babies,' Sold at Birth, Use DNA to Unlock Secret Past
Sue Docken's start in life, in 1951, with a no-questions-asked cash adoption at the hands of a midwife, had strong elements of the crime scene that it was
Her adoptive father was told to stay in the car and keep the motor running. His wife went into a nondescript office building in Butte, Mont., where she met with the midwife, Gertrude Pitkanen, and was handed the hours-old infant and the afterbirth, offered a peek through a curtain at the young mother lying in a bed, and told to leave. The afterbirth was thrown out the window on the drive home, Ms. Docken was later told by her adoptive parents, who paid $500 for her that day.
Ms. Docken is one of about two dozen people, mostly in the West, belonging to a self-styled club whose members call themselves "Gertie's Babies." (More are believed to be out there, unknown perhaps even to themselves.) Their lives are diverse, connected only by a common thread, Ms. Pitkanen. Sometimes known more grandly as Gertrude Pitkanen Van Orden, she delivered and sold babies, performed abortions — and mostly evaded legal consequence — in Butte from the 1920s through the 1950s. The secrets she left have fueled a search for origins and answers, in some cases lasting decades.
Brain Development in Children Could Be Affected by Poverty, Study Shows
Scans show that brain regions crucial for the development of language, memory and reasoning skills tend to be smaller in those from poorer backgrounds
Brain scans of children and young adults have revealed that specific brain regions tend to be smaller in those from poorer backgrounds than those born into wealthier families.
The effects were most striking among the poorest families who took part in the study, where even modest changes in wages could have a significant impact on the structure of the children's brains.
The brain regions involved are crucial for the development of language, memory and reasoning skills, making them central to a child's potential to thrive at school and gain a good education.
Scientists hope that the findings will help to drive fresh interventions to boost brain growth in children who need it most. They could include targeted activities at school and at home; easier access to further education, which often leads to higher incomes; or simply more generous benefits for the poorest families.
A Sheriff And A Doctor Team Up To Map Childhood Trauma
"I want to prevent what I'm seeing on the autopsy table. … A lot of times, I'm standing there going, 'I don't think this person had a very nice early childhood.' " – Dr. Nancy Hardt, pathologist, University of Florida
A few years ago, Hardt says, she learned about someresearch that changed her view of how exactly that life course — health or illness — unfolds.
The research shows that kids who have tough childhoods — because of poverty, abuse, neglect, or witnessing domestic violence, for instance — are actually more likely to be sick when they grow up. They're more likely to get diseases like asthma, diabetes and heart disease. And they tend to have shorter lives than people who haven't experienced those difficult events as kids.
"I want to prevent what I'm seeing on the autopsy table," Hardt says. "I've got to say, a lot of times, I'm standing there, going, 'I don't think this person had a very nice early childhood.' "
The Grandpa Who Saved His Granddaughter From Ebola
A few months ago, I met a grandpa whom I'll never forget. His name is Edwin Koryan. And he's a pharmacist in Voinjama, Liberia. Edwin remembers the moment he felt the first symptoms of Ebola. He was taking care of his 5-year-old granddaughter Komasa. They were sharing a room and a bed
"He became very sick," says Edwin's doctor, Cedric Yoshimoto of Doctors Without Borders in Foya, Liberia. "He was vomiting blood. Not eating for days. We thought we'd lose him sometimes." Edwin pulled through. After two weeks of living in the treatment tent, alone, Edwin could finally go home. But just as he was leaving the clinic, "my granddaughter was brought in the treatment center," Edwin says. The little girl was very sick. She had caught Ebola from her grandpa.

Pregnant And Uninsured?
Uninsured women who learn they are pregnant outside of the regular three-month open enrollment period, which this year ended Sunday, can get stuck paying thousands of dollars for prenatal care and delivery — or worse, going without care. Advocacy groups are asking the administration to allow women to sign up whenever they become pregnant
The Obama administration often touts the health benefits women have gained under the Affordable Care Act, including the option to sign up for coverage outside of open enrollment periods if they're "having a baby." But advocates complain that the special insurance enrollment period begins only aftera birth. As a result, uninsured women who learn they are pregnant outside of the regular three-month open enrollment period, which this year ended Sunday, can get stuck paying thousands of dollars for prenatal care and delivery — or worse, going without care. The advocacy groups, including the March of Dimes, Planned Parenthood and Young Invincibles, are asking the administration to allow women to sign up whenever they become pregnant.

Hand of a Superhero
He made a prosthetic hand for Dawson, in cobalt blue and black, and it did not cost his family a thing. Now the 13-year-old can ride a bike and hold a baseball bat. He hopes to play goalkeeper on his soccer team
Dawson Riverman's parents tried to help him make the best of it.
Born without fingers on his left hand, Dawson struggled to perform even the simplest tasks, like tying his shoes or holding a ball. "God made you special in this way," his parents told him. But by age 5, Dawson was demanding tearfully to know why.
The Rivermans, of Forest Grove, Ore., could not afford a high-tech prosthetic hand for their son, and in any event they are rarely made for children. Then help arrived in the guise of a stranger with a three-dimensional printer

After receiving over 20,000 images from photographers in 142 countries, the Travel Photographer of the Year (TPOTY) Awards have announced their 2018 winners. Run by photographers for photographers, TPOTY is an incredible opportunity for amateurs and professionals to display the faces, places, and cultures that shape our world.
Italian photographer Stefano Pensotti was named Travel Photographer of the Year for his stunning portfolio of eight photographs. His work across several different continents demonstrates ordinary citizens engaging in their surroundings, whether that's a young girl in Myanmar stopping to pray at a temple on the way to school or locals in Budapest enjoying time in the early 20th-century Széchenyi Baths. His portfolio is a reminder of just how much history surrounds us, whether we live in Ethiopia or India.
Pensotti is the first Italian to take home the overall prize since TPOTY was started in 2003. The awards also give space for young talent, opening up three categories for photographers under 18 years old. At just 14, Isabella Smith won the title of Young Travel Photographer of the Year for her portfolio of images taken in Morocco. Smith draws comparison to her own life as a child growing up in the United States through her photos of local youth, each image as technically crisp as it is artistic.
In total, over 150 images were given recognition over a wide variety of categories that reward portfolios, as well as single images. The winning photographs will be exhibited in spring 2019 in London, as well as at international TPOTY exhibitions.

Digital Wellness for the New Year
While screens have become a necessary part of our daily lives, many families are feeling the need for a technology break. It's never too late to start setting healthy screen time limits, so your entire family can refresh, relax and reconnect.
for the New Year
Survey conducted by OnePoll for Circle: 2,000 American parents of school-aged children; November 2020.
"In my household we use tools like Circle. The lure of the screen is just too great and these solutions, when used in combination with traditional parenting, ensure my children stare into the real world — at least for a few minutes a day."
"Happily, the Circle controls have just solved this thorny little problem. It's a device you hook into your internet and then control with an app. Nothing is installed on phones, consoles, TVs and computers but it can monitor and control them all."
"Circle [is] designed to make it easier for parents to use screen time as a reward for chores or other good behavior."
"For kids who use multiple devices, computers, tablets, gaming consoles, Circle works on all of these to keep track of time and then turn it off…. You can do the kill switch on Fortnite parents!"
–Becky Worley, Good Morning America
"With Circle, you don't have to worry about hearing 'just 5 more minutes' when it's time to turn off the TV, or wonder if your kids are staying up past their bedtime scrolling through their devices."
"The biggest name in parental controls is Circle, and the Circle Home Plus is their most popular product. It's an all-in-one unit that you control entirely via app, and it takes the pain out of parental controls."
"For a more robust management system, I've found the Circle Home Plus one of the easiest add-ons around."

Colin Kaepernick's botched NFL workout could strengthen case for second collusion lawsuit
Colin Kaepernick visits with fans following his NFL workout held at Charles R. Drew High School on November 16, 2019 in Riverdale, Georgia.

It's been almost a week since the National Football League's botched its scheduled workout with free-agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick, with no resolution in sight.
The blunder could actually work in Kaepernick's favor if the Super Bowl quarterback decides to bring another lawsuit against the league, sports and gaming attorney Daniel Wallach of South Florida-based firm Wallach Legal, said in an interview with CNBC.
"All of the circumstances surrounding this tryout out really looks inauthentic," Wallach said. "The failure to reach an agreement with Kaepernick's attorneys on the scope of the release. The timing. The closed nature of it. The disagreement over the filming of it."
Some in the very group Kaepernick has to convince – NFL owners – are already suggesting they won't consider the 32-year-old quarterback who led the San Francisco 49ers to Super Bowl XLVII in 2013.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones called the situation between Kaepernick and the NFL "unfortunate," according to an interview with Dallas-based radio station 105.3 The Fan. He said the Cowboys aren't currently seeking a quarterback; hence, there was no reason to have team representatives attend his workout last weekend in the Atlanta area.
One NFL team owner wondered how Kaepernick can help a team in the short and long-term, believing he doesn't fit into his team's future quarterback plans.
The owner, who asked not to be named due to the sensitivity of the situation, did not doubt Kaepernick can still perform. Kaepernick's actions last weekend made him think the quarterback doesn't want to play or will only return on his terms, he said.
Kaepernick decided to hold his own workout after he and the league couldn't agree on the waiver the NFL insisted he sign beforehand, releasing the league of liability in case he was injured. Kaepernick's lawyers thought the waiver went too far and offered their own version, which the NFL said was "insufficient."
Although Kaepernick said he's "been ready for three years," the team owner said the dispute over the workout shows he doesn't genuinely want to return to the field.
Kaepernick's agent Jeff Nalley didn't immediately return a request for comment.
Sports Illustrated reported that the versions were dramatically different. Kaepernick's version accepted all injury-related risk associated with the workout. The NFL's waiver was reportedly much broader, with language preventing Kaepernick from filing another lawsuit against the league if he isn't signed by a team.
"They are arguing that this is just a standard release," Wallach said. "There is absolutely nothing standard or typical about the relationship between Colin Kaepernick and the National Football League. It's one that is grounded in distrust and has a history of ligation behind it."
Wallach said the NFL "wanted to eliminate the possibility that he would be able to sue them if he didn't get a contract offer as a result of this workout."
"I think the NFL was focused on that narrow argument, but the way the clause was drafted was so over broad that you could drive a truck through it," he said, adding that it waived a number of other employment claims Kaepernick may have against the league. "No lawyer would let a client sign an agreement like that."
And now, two of the biggest questions remaining: Did the league attempt to disguise a workout to protect itself from future collusion lawsuits like the one it settled with Kaepernick earlier this year? And if he's not employed soon, can Kaepernick pursue legal action again?
Though the case was settled out of the courts, Wallach said he doesn't believe it absolved the NFL from further legal action if he can't get signed.
Every day Kaepernick remains a free agent is "one more piece of ammunition" for a second collusion lawsuit, Wallach said.
"If the NFL really wanted to truly give Colin Kaepernick a chance to play football this year, there were 32 teams that certainly would have a significant upgrade in their quarterback room simply by having him on the roster. There [aren't many] No. 3 quarterbacks in the NFL, or even No. 2 quarterbacks in the NFL, that is better than Colin Kaepernick."

Q: How do you control the "path" that a user takes through a Django app? I have a Django application where I want to guarantee that a newly registered user has gone through and submitted the forms on a set of 3 pages. I want to control his ability to access any other urls until he has completed these forms. The sequence of pages come after the User instance has been created because I am using django-social-auth for Facebook authentication.
I can imaging creating a middleware class where a model is used to record which step he has finished and redirects him to the next required step if he tries to access any other url. There would need to be a whitelist of excepted urls for ajax endpoints if any are needed on the 3 pages. This feels like a bad way to implement this. What are the alternatives?

A: Just store the "process_completed" or alike variable to True and do boolean check in a piece of middleware that checks for this variable.

A: I would create a python decorator to control this.

When parents separate or divorce, it will likely mean that at least one parent will have to make a new home for themselves and the children. Where the parents respective homes will be can cause some conflict over determining what locale the children will reside. Courts have contemplated this issue and come up with ways to address it in their decisions on cases.
First, we must determine what the issue is we are talking about when we know parents will separate. Usually, one of the parents in a divorce case or a case involving custody will be designated as the parent with the right to determine the children's primary residence. With this determination can come some restrictions on the children's future residence, specifically the geographical boundaries the children will have to reside in with the custodial parent.
When a case is pending before the court, usually there will be standing orders in place which state that neither parent can remove the children from the State of Texas for the purpose of changing their primary residence. Thus, while litigation is going on, the children usually have to remain in Texas, unless the parties have agreed otherwise or the court has made specific orders to the contrary.
Once a case does reach a final resolution, the court can impose a residence restriction on the parent with custody on a final basis. A typical restriction would be a geographical limitation on the parent with custody to Denton County and contiguous counties if the case was in Denton County. So, the parent with custody would have to reside with the children in Denton County or any county touching Denton County on a map. This limitation is designed to allow the parent without custody to remain in close contact with the children in the future without having to travel long distances for possession and access.
For some parents, this limitation can pose a problem when they want to move outside of the restrictive area either at the time of the divorce or custody case or in a later modification suit. A parent desiring not to have this limitation will need to show good reasons to the court why allowing a long-distance move with the children is in their best interests. A few examples of valid reasons would be lack of involvement of the other parent in the children's lives, need for financial reliance on those in another location, or prior plans to move with the children that the other parent was either aware of or previously consented to.
When dealing with residence restrictions, a parent should be mindful of the limitations they place on them and the possibility that the court will order one in a final order or decree. If you as a parent desire to move out of the general restrictive area, you will need to discuss this with your attorney and come up with a strategy on presenting this issue to the court. There are many reasons why a parent would want to move away with the children, but the weight that the court will place on a particular justification will need to be properly assessed by your attorney.

Hard Graft is releasing its first sneaker and as you would expect, it's as luxurious as you would imagine it to be. The beautifully crafted S1 Mid Top has a full grain leather upper with calf leather lining and comes in a choice of desert sand or desaturated grey.
You won't be seeing these on a lot of feet either, they'll only be making 100 pairs in each colorway and once they're sold out they'll be gone forever. Of course, it wouldn't be a Hard Graft product without the proper bag to match. Their Sneaker Pack ($358) is a combination of suede, wool, and sherpa, which all comes together to create the perfect accompaniment to their sneaker.

Immigration: US warns schools against bias
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration said Thursday that troubling reports continue of school districts raising barriers to enrollment for children brought into the U.S. illegally.
The Justice Department and Education Department issued new guidance reminding schools and districts they have a legal obligation to enroll every student regardless of their immigration status. The guidance says schools should be flexible in deciding which documents they will accept to prove a student's age or residency.
It also reminds them not to ask about a student's immigration status or require documents such as a driver's license, if that would prevent a student from enrolling because of a parent's immigration status.
The Education Department said it has received 17 complaints since 2011 from states including Colorado, North Carolina, Ohio, Louisiana, Michigan, New Mexico and the District of Columbia.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in some instances, school leaders have inappropriately required information such as a child's visa status or date of entry into the United States.
Sometimes collaboratively with the Education Department and sometime working separately, Justice Department officials said they also have taken action. It has entered into settlement agreements with school districts in states such as Georgia, Florida, and Virginia. And, it said that after it contacted officials in Alabama the state education department sent guidance to districts spelling out that they may not bar or discourage students from enrollment because they lack a Social Security number, birth certificate or because their parents don't have an Alabama driver's license.
Officials from the two departments said they have found states and districts are willing to work with the federal government on the issue.
"It's a tribute to educators around the country that they recognize how important it is for kids to be able to attend school and are willing to take the steps necessary to ensure they aren't even inadvertently chilling students' willingness or families' willingness to attend them," said Jocelyn Samuels, acting assistant attorney general for civil rights in the Justice Department.
Attorney General Eric Holder told reporters his department "will do everything it can to make sure schools meet this obligation."
Children brought into the U.S. illegally are guaranteed the right to a K-12 education under the 1982 Supreme Court decision Plyler v. Doe.
Noelle M. Ellerson, associate executive director for policy and advocacy at AASA: The School Superintendents Association, said in an email that the association appreciates the additional clarification.

List of Unsold Poems from the October 5, 2010 Poetry Fishbowl - The Wordsmith's Forge
01:09 pm October 8th, 2010
List of Unsold Poems from the October 5, 2010 Poetry Fishbowl
The following poems from the October 5, 2010 Poetry fishbowl are currently available. They may be sponsored via PayPal, or you can write to me and discuss other methods.
"Bittersweet Centers" -- 13 lines, $10
The "chocolate box" metaphor stuck in my mind, so I extended it into the free-verse poem "Bittersweet Centers." This one explores a psychic vampire's experience of humanity in all its flavors.
"Death and Marriage" -- 20 lines, $10 SOLD
Comparing mythic to movie images of vampires, I got the free-verse poem "Death and Marriage." Power isn't always just in the obvious places. The humor is kind of dark and edgy, but I think it works.
"Eating Disordered" -- 38 lines, $15
This prompt reminded me of eating disorders, and I got to wondering what would happen to a vampire that bit a victim with such a condition. "Eating Disordered" is a free-verse poem with a desperately creepy tone.
"Halfway to Eternity" -- 20 lines, $10 SOLD
From the idea of vampires bestowing immortality but not youth, I got the free-verse poem "Halfway to Eternity." Coming from another dimension, they don't really understand Entropy.
"La Silbadora" -- 20 lines, $10
The animated GIF reminded me of a similar picture I once saw, which noted that the woman "had learned to whistle in an eerie way through her affliction." So that reminded me of Silbo Gomero, the whistled language. The result is "La Silbadora," a poem about a woman who is cast from her village to become a vampire. (Exile sometimes appears on the list of vampiric origins.) The poem includes several words of Spanish, as it's set in the Canary Islands. I really had fun filling in the local color here.
"Sun's Foe and Moon's Friend" -- 20 lines, $10
From "embracing the night" I got the poem "Sun's Foe and Moon's Friend," which is written in unrhymed quintains. For some vampires, the change is not so much a transformation as a confirmation.
"The Vampire Funeral" -- 39 lines, $15
From the "Cemetery" prompt I got the free-verse poem "The Vampire Funeral." The scene was so sad, I wondered what it would be like if vampires were pacifists instead of monsters. They'd have a hard time surviving in this poor old world.
"What the Forest Takes" -- 48 lines, $20
When I read the "Vampiric Wolverine" prompt, I thought about the furry kind, not the spandex kind. The result is "What the Forest Takes," an environmental horror poem done in free verse. Those who attempt to exit and then demolish the food web may be returned to it with extreme prejudice.

Other payment methods are available, if your budget is up to it. PayPal is just a convenient method for many of my donors. I have a few folks who send me checks instead, and I've had several people hand the money to someone else who sent it tagged with "This is from Friend A for Poem X." via various methods. You can reach me through LJ private message if you'd like to discuss this further.

Tori Spelling Explains Why Dean McDermott Is Missing from Christmas Card
It's not even Thanksgiving and Tori Spelling already has her holiday card up on Instagram!
In the sweet photo, Tori poses with her children Liam, 14, Stella, 13, Hattie, 9, Finn, 8 and Beau, 4, along with some chickens, goats, and a pig. Fittingly, the card includes the message: "With love, from our farm to your home!"
There is just one person missing from the family fun… her husband Dean McDermott. Spelling explained his absence in the comments, revealing he was "filming his new feature film in Canada" during the family photo shoot.
Rumors have been swirling about the couple's 15-year marriage for a while, and they have both been spotted without their wedding rings.
In October, an upset Tori was spotted yelling on the phone outside a lawyer's office. The actress, dressed in a black suit and oversized sunglasses, was carrying a pad of paper with some very telling notes.
The yellow pad included "3 pm" next to the word "lawyer," with a list of topics including "custody," "support," and "assets."
Tori Spelling Split? New Clues as She's Snapped Yelling Outside Lawyer's Office
Over the summer, Tori opened up to Jeff Lewis about her marriage on his SiriusXM show "Jeff Lewis Live."
The host wanted to know, "What is really going on? You put the wedding ring on. Are things okay? Because I feel like the last time you were here, things were good, you were having sex. Are you guys sleeping in the same bed?"
Spelling revealed, "You know what? Right now, my kids and dogs sleep in my bed," adding that her husband is sleeping "in a room" at the house.
She claimed his separate sleeping quarters stemmed from the family bunking together while Dean was out of town for work.
"Since he left — this is not good, you guys — but since he left, [and] he was gone for six months filming in another country, they all stayed with me," Spelling explained. "So I currently still have four in the bedroom with me who have yet to go back to their rooms, yes."
Tori and Dean wed in 2006.

The Save Abandoned Babies Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to saving babies from being abandoned in dumpsters and other unsafe environments. Our mission is to prevent the illegal abandonment of newborns by raising awareness of the safe, legal options available under the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act. This act offers a protected, legal alternative to unsafe infant abandonment. An unharmed newborn, up to 30 days old, may be handed to staff at a hospital, emergency medical care facility, police station, firehouse, college/University police station, or Illinois State Police district headquarters.
No questions need to be answered and there is no fear of prosecution.
Our grassroots effort began in March of 2000 when our founder, Dawn Geras, read a newspaper article about a baby found in a Chicago dumpster. We quickly learned that other states were addressing this horrible and growing problem with "safe haven" laws. We went to work, calling on anyone willing to help. The Save Abandoned Babies volunteers drafted the law and lobbied for its passage. The resulting Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act unanimously passed both the Illinois House and Senate and was signed into Illinois law in August of 2001. The Save Abandoned Babies Foundation is now focused on telling birth parents in crisis that this option exists. Making information about the law available to those who need it will save innocent new lives. As of 2017, 3,317 infants have been safely surrendered to Safe Havens nationally.
120 Babies have been safely relinquished in Illinois since the passage of the Safe Haven Law in 2001.
Genie is proud to be a Board Trustee at Save Abandoned Babies Foundation.

Chemshire, Inc. was founded in 1971 by Mr. Lufti J Shakshire in Ohio, U S A. He had the bravery and drive most importantly, the vision to see the company through its slender, early years. When taken as a whole, you will see that Chemshire has a concrete track record of improving product creations to guard the environment. Toward this end, over the years Chemshire has developed and introduced a number of environmentally sensitive, waterborne, solvent-based cures, sealers, and water repellents in concrete construction. Excellence, modernization, and veracity are more than words at Chemshire. They frame a philosophy which has drove the Company into its position of leadership. This viewpoint guides Chemshire as it moves forward towards continued growth in an industry that is helping to progress the way people live and work around the world. Product range that we deal with include Tile Adhesives, Epoxy & Grouts. Tile adhesives have range that will hold tile on plywood, metal etc. as well. Glitter epoxy is also available. Grouts are not normal ones. They have water resistance capability up-to 1 hour.

Q: UINavigationController.setViewControllers is resulting in an empty viewControllers array I am using the setViewControllers function on UINavigationController to set my first root view controller but the viewControllers array is empty after it has been called.
I know it is expected behavior to see the view controller in the viewControllers array immediately after setting, even if there is an animation so I'm not sure what could be causing the problem.
setViewControllers([viewControllerToPresent], animated: true)
Noteworthy: It is happening at app launch time but after I am certain the UINavigationController is loaded and ready.

A: The problem ended up being trying to simultaneously present a viewcontroller modally (tutorial slides) as the navigationcontroller was trying to push a viewcontroller on to the stack (both animated)
By delaying the presentation of the modals by 1 second, both view controllers were able to present without clobbering one another.
Would love to know the whys of this if anyone if familiar enough with UIKit and Animation APIs to explain. Will accept my own answer if I don't hear from anyone but will gladly change this if we get a better answer in the future.


Isi file ini sebenarnya panjang sekali karena mencakup sekitar 50 quest yang terdapat dalam game ini. Tulisan yang di bawah ini adalah penjelasan tentang salah satu quest favorit saya dalam game ini.
This quest can be very tricky because of its time sensitivity. You should build up your level while too many battles will increase your ER and fail this quest. Note that you will encounter MANY fixed battles inside Twinmoon Temple. You definitely need to get back to Melvir with Moonstone in your hand before ER14, so choose your battle carefully and do not let the ER slips off your control.
Requirement: finish Free the Gecklings, Eule Gives a Hoot and Ancient Text quests.
After you decipher the Ancient Text from Geckling Tribe, you must have known about Twinmoon Temple, the shrine where Moonstone is kept by Amut and Eres. You also must have known that you will need two medallions that will act as the key to open the temple.
Soon after you reach ER9, go to Melvir's pub and read the post about how the emperor falls ill. Find Sophia, a priest in Temple of Elore, and she will tell you about Moonstone (if you have read about this fatestone in the library, but in case she does not tell you, I told you, it is Moonstone we are heading to). Your next task is to find the two medallions of goddesses as the key to get access to Twinmoon Temple.
Go to Temple of Amut in North Estamir to get Amut's Medallion and hear the info about the next medallion. From this moment, the quest will not continue unless you finish Eule Gives a Hoot quest, so go find Claudia (if you are not playing as her) and follow her to Mazewood (see Eule Gives a Hoot quest explanation).
After you finish Eule Gives a Hoot quest, go to the heart of Mazewood. Walk pass Eule's Nest and you shall find the path leading to a huge tree. You will talk to the tree, or rather Cyril, about the second medallion. At the night, climb the tree and you will meet Eres, though if you are not playing as Claudia then your character might not notice it. She will give you Eres' Medallion.
Since you have the keys, go to the Jungle of Walon Isle. Use the ship to go deep inside the jungle. To reach Twinmoon Temple, enter Cave A and go all the way to reach an exit. Use your Covert in case you want to avoid enemy encounter inside this cave.
Once you reach the exit, you will find yourself in an open area of the Jungle. Make your way ahead until your character realize the presence of Twinmoon Temple. You will also find a chest with complete Jungle Map in this area too. Quicksave before you advance your step to the temple because somebody vicious has been waiting for you.
He is Minion of Saruin. Like our usual encounter with Minion, it is wiser to have at least one of character using Id Break move to cut off his Intellect point. You may also want to restrain yourself from using high leveled moves because this Minion will remember the moves so they will be ineffective in your final battle. In case you are defeated, well, he will take away your medallions and ultimately fail your quest so far.
So, after you beat the Minion, climb the stairs of the temple and check the slots. You will be transported inside.
Note that it is possible for you to go back to the town BEFORE you enter the temple (in case you need to restore your LP after fighting Minion). You will not be able to go out of the temple before you finish the last stage.
Soon after you enter the temple, you will find yourself standing on transporter with blue shade. Remember this transporter as your entry transporter. You will need to find another transporter with red shade to gain access to the next stage.
Twinmoon Temple, B1. Key-monsters: Spirit. There is one trial room with Beast's Bangle as the reward. Transporter room is located on north side of the stage.
Twinmoon Temple, B2. Key-monsters: Insect. There are two trial rooms with Ring of Protection and Stamina Drink as the reward. Transporter room is located on east side of the stage.
Twinmoon Temple, B3. Key-monsters: Reptile. There are two trial rooms with Beast's Greaves and Guardian Ring as the reward. Transporter room is located on west side of the stage.
Twinmoon Temple, B4. Key-monsters: Undead. There are two trial rooms with Beast's Helm and Alacrity Pill as the reward. Transporter room is located on north side of the stage.
Twinmoon Temple, B5. No monster. There are two square floors that act as elevators to B6 (blue floor) and B7 (red floor).
Twinmoon Temple, B6. No monster. There is one trial room with Beast's Mail as the reward. There are one square floor that act as elevator to B5.
Twinmoon Temple, B7. No monster. There is one square floor that acts as elevator to B5. Twinmoon Temple's Inner Sanctum is located on north side of the stage. Moonstone is inside the Inner Sanctum.
The enemy inside B6's trial room is very strong, especially if you are here because of the quest. If you decide to clear this trial room, keep in mind that you still have to beat the guardian of Fatestone to get the Moonstone afterwards. You will not be able to go back to B6's trial room after you get the Fatestone, unless you start off from B1 again.
Inside the Inner Sanctum, you will meet Zodiac, the guardian of Moonstone. It has two heads and wields ability to cast both fire and water elemental magic. It is wise to protect yourself with protective spells like Self Immolation since Zodiac also excels at physical attack (note that Self Immolation also protects the caster from fire and water magic). Utilizing weapon's defense mode is also a good idea, since Zodiac moves at least twice per turn.
After you defeat Zodiac, go ahead and get the Moonstone. Like other fatestones, Moonstone will replenish your LP after all the battles you've been through. You will be transported back to the Jungle once you exit Inner Sanctum. Use your remaining Covert skills to run pass the roaming monsters inside Jungle Cave A and sail back to Melvir.
Now that you have the Moonstone, go back to Sophia. She will guide you to the emperor and use the Moonstone to banish the evil. After you heal the emperor, you will gain an audience with nobles of Melvir. You will be prompted to choose a reward for your hardwork: money (10.000G) / armor (A'la Melvirana) / weapon (Espada Ropera, the strongest foil in this game).
End of Ailing Emperor quest.
Talk to Sophia soon after this quest ends. She will tell you about Emerald of Evil, and this will ensure your fixed encounter with Ewei in Isle of Evil. You will not be able to get the Emerald without Sophia's guide.
Should you want to explore this dungeon again after you get the Moonstone, you can use your unlocked lifts without killing key-monsters all over again.
If you're playing as Claudia, choose no reward to get extra scene.
It is possible for you to get Amut's Medallion before ER9, but it is impossible to get Eres' Medallion without finishing Eule Gives a Hoot quest. In case you have passed ER11 without activating the quest, you may get both medallions and even the Moonstone without encountering Minion at all.
Both A'la Melvirana and Espada Ropera are very rare items you can only find from high-leveled Treasure Map, aside from this quest. To the record, I find that Espada Ropera remains the better choice of a reward since Field Plate (the toughest buyable armor in the game) is still a better substitute to A'la Melvirana. With specific tempering, the attack power of Espada Ropera can reach 50+, comparable to other outstanding weapons such as Demonbrand, Kjar Arbalest (final form of Kjar Bow) and other rarer weapons.


The aim of every language course at the University is to enable you to communicate in your target language at that particular level and in your particular area of interest. We use the word 'communicate' in its widest sense, meaning that you will not only be able to talk to people in the language but also to develop your proficiency in listening, reading, and writing. This means that the course aims for you to understand all the things which affect communication in that language, including knowledge of how the language is used, how it works and how to analyse it, and the cultural contexts in which it is spoken. Successful completion of this stage is approximately equivalent to reaching Levels C2 of the Common European Framework.
Listening - Understand with ease virtually everything that is heard. - Engage with the subtleties of meaning and nuance in spoken language.
Speaking: interaction - Converse with ease in most formal and informal situations. - Employ mostly appropriate and effective strategies in managing linguistically and/or culturally complex interactions, including informal conversation, difficult encounters, presenting and defending arguments and analysing concepts.
Writing -Write convincingly in a variety of styles and registers and select the appropriate style for the purpose. -Write fluent and accurate texts where errors and infelicities are unobtrusive and do not compromise the effectiveness of the writing.
Language learning strategies - Be a highly skilled and independent language learner in that you make proficient use of a full range of reference tools, that you access and learn from all available TL media, and that you set appropriate learning goals and monitor your progress. - Exploit the full range of information provided in language reference materials and data (e.g. standard and specialised dictionaries, corpora, term banks) to refine your knowledge and understanding of the nuances of meaning and use of the language.
use and present material in the target language and one's own language in written and oral forms in a clear and effective manner.
This Stage develops linguistic proficiency by focusing on a wide range of texts (both written and spoken) relevant to the target language culture(s). These texts will provide a framework for developing sophisticated language forms and uses. Authentic print and multimedia material covering a variety of styles, registers and genres will be used. Most inadequacies in your linguistic proficiency will be remedied through discussion with the tutor, who will refer you to self-access material relevant to your particular needs available in the relevant resources area and help you to develop an individual learning programme.
Classes Although part of any class session is likely to involve direct teaching, the emphasis is on student participation and you will be expected to take part actively in discussion and in tasks such as small group and pair work, role play, and individual or group presentations. Independent learning You will be expected to spend time studying outside the class, and we provide guidance, facilities and materials to help you develop your expertise as an independent language learner. As you progress through the Stages, you will learn to understand, monitor and improve your own learning style; you will also acquire some expertise as a researcher and develop the kind of key skills which are valued by employers. You are encouraged to use the facilities in the Centre for Language Study Resources Centre at the Avenue Campus and at other sites in the University, including the Southampton Oceanography Centre, the Hartley Library and Winchester School of Art. These include on-line and computer-based resources, current newspapers and magazines, language laboratories and satellite TV, and self-access materials. For this Stage, you will be asked to consolidate your class work, to read, watch or listen to material in the target language, to prepare exercises and activities for the class, to write assignments, undertake projects and continue to develop your repertoire of effective language learning strategies.

At the beginning of the module, you will receive information about your assessment. This will include: -what tasks you will be expected to carry out -clear criteria against which your work will be assessed -what the provisional date and deadline of each assessment task is. Note that it is the responsibility of students to ensure that they have read and understood this documentation, to plan their work schedule in advance, and to keep to the deadlines. If you are in any doubt, talk to the module coordinator in good time. Assessment will cover what you have studied in class and what you are expected to have acquired as an independent learner. The design of the tasks and the criteria by which they are assessed ensure that you will be able to demonstrate all aspects of your learning: language skills, strategies and knowledge related to language learning, and key skills. Coursework and the in-class exam will give you formative feedback on your progress, that is, feedback which will help you learn. The exam at the end of the module will test what you have achieved and also what you are able to do in real life conditions of language use where you need to think on your feet and use your own linguistic resources.

In 2007, the National Research Council published a new strategic plan for toxicology assessment to update and advance our knowledge on the toxicity and the mode of action of environmental agents. This 21st Century Toxicology paradigm recommends the use of computational toxicology and systems biology in combination with human-relevant in vitro models that could allow multiple dose testing, reduce the use of animals in research and generate better data on the potential risks to humans. Exposure to cigarette smoke (CS) is known to cause serious diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Philip Morris International is working to develop products which could potentially reduce disease risk in smokers who use those products instead of combustible cigarettes. We have applied 21st Century Toxicology approaches among our assessment methods.and started to investigate if human airway in vitro models exposed to CS at the air-liquid interface could mimic the in vivo biological response. Various endpoints (e.g. cytotoxicity, CYP1A1/1B1 enzyme activity, inflammatory markers release, mucus ciliary beating frequency, morphological and transcriptomic changes) were collected at different times after exposure to identify and compare the dose- and time-dependent effect of each exposure conditions. By using systems toxicology-based risk assessment approaches combining computable biological network models and gene expression changes, the molecular perturbations triggered after the different exposure conditions were analyzed and quantified. Using this example of 21st Century Toxicology Assessment, we will discuss the advantages, the limitations and the challenges of such strategies, especially the repeated exposure study designs required to assess respiratory disease in vitro.
