Another look from May. My choice was a combination of black and white.
I was wearing a tank top, skinny jeans in snake print, blazer with rolled up sleeves and flats. From accessories I had chained necklace, chained bracelet and quilted satchel. The look was finished by flowing hair and natural-look make-up.

Picking the Right Puppy to Be a Show Champion: A Case Study
By: Hsin-Yi Cohen BSc, MA, MSt - Updated: 25 Nov 2012 | *Discuss
Angela sits on the floor, surrounded by a wriggling mass of Dalmatian puppies. They all look beautiful and her heart sinks as she contemplates trying to select one. How was she ever going to pick a dog that might be a potential show winner?
A New Hobby
While visiting her friend overseas, Angela was taken along to a few dog shows and developed a real interest in activity, deciding that she would like to get involved too. On returning home, she immediately began researching breeders in her area for her favourite breed, the Dalmatian. She was delighted to find that 3 breeders in the area had just had litters and were looking for homes for their puppies, so she hurried to visit them all. But very quickly, she became disheartened.
"I just had no idea what I was looking for," admits Angela. "I realised that what I really needed to do was go with someone who had been showing for many years and who had experience in picking show champions."
Experienced Help
With the help of her friend overseas, Angela located a man living in her area who had been showing Dalmatians for years and was delighted to find that George was friendly and helpful. Like many breed enthusiasts, he was keen to help others starting out in the hobby and readily agreed to go with her to view the litters again, although he advised Angela to wait until the puppies were a few days before their 8 week birthday as by this time, puppies of most breeds would give a good indication of how they would develop as an adult, in terms of proportions and shapes.
The Selection Process
"He explained to me the process of looking for the right puppy," recalls Angela. "The most important first rule was to only look at litters from a reputable breeder."
You save yourself a lot of heartache if you buy from a breeder who has done all the necessary health screening tests and who only breeds from animals with good temperaments. Also, they will do all the necessary early socialisation to help your puppy grow up into a confident, well-balanced dog – which is something that's very important for any dog and definitely for a show dog, who will have to go into crowded, strange places and deal with lots of strangers.
In addition, a reputable, experienced breeder is also more likely to know the breed standard well and therefore be producing puppies that were likely to match the ideal blueprint for the breed. They could also offer more advice and insight into their litter, so that they can help you find what you're looking for.
"Next, George explained that it was really a process of elimination," says Angela. "I had to ask the breeder to remove all puppies of the opposite sex, so I'm not distracted by any of them. Then, remove also any puppies which seem to be very shy, timid or withdrawn – as these will not make good show dogs. Now, with the puppies left, I had to look at the physical characteristics."
Angela examined a range on things on each puppy, from the markings – especially in a breed like the Dalmatian – as well as other things, such as checking that the puppy did not have an uneven bite or any disqualifying faults based on the breed standard. For Dalmatians, this would something like having a curly tail or spots that are both brown and black. Since Angela wanted a boy, she also had to check that her puppy had two normal, descended testicles, although sometimes they may drop later so she had to keep that in mind.
Finally, George helped Angela asses the way each puppy moved, observing its natural movement form the front, side and the back. They were looking to avoid any puppies with a hocky look or with a funny gait. By this time, Angela found it quite easy to choose a puppy that she liked best and was soon heading home with her new canine companion.
The Perfect Dog?
"Of course, there is no such thing as a perfect dog," Angela stresses. "What you're looking for is show potential. No-one ever really knows how a puppy will turn out and so you can't ever guarantee a show ring winner. Also, I learnt that some dogs may have all the physical points but they lack a certain something in their attitude. True show champions have a certain spirit, a 'look at me' attitude – a charisma – which can make all the difference."

Is there any way to get a total amount of monthly usage for my account? I have an exede evolution 10g plan, but the only tally of usage I can see is the 10 g being used up . I need a more accurate measure in order to make an informed decision about switching to the the new plans. I tried the eSVT tool and didn't see any further info. I'd like to see total use, including my unlimited browsing, and perhaps an average or snapshot of multiple months.
This doesn't answer the question. It only gives you if you've used your allotment of the 10GM of "Everything Else", not total absolute data usage. Can you please provide us with total usage so we can determine the best plan.
Also, please confirm that you are a live person responding and not a bot.
It will only count usage on the computer it is installed on however.
If you wish to track all devices on your network you will likely need a router that tracks and displays usage by data/time/device.
So basically, Exede can tell us when we are "over" what they charge us for but not how much we actually use? They can measure streaming across multiple devices but not total usage across multiple devices? But then we are supposed to purchase more data or choose a new plan, basically blind? No wonder so many people are considering leaving/filing class action/etc.
They can measure it, but after 10 g they cant? BS. So glad we are out of contract.
If they could tell you, would you trust em anyway? I like to have my own monitoring stuff running for comparison. So, set up your own traffic monitor on your devices (such as Networx, mentioned above) , or look into getting some sort up open-source firmware "upgrade" for your router. Many older routers have functions that can be "unlocked" such as traffic monitoring with a simple firmware update. Many newer routers come with these features already.
Thanks Mr. Anderson (aka Neo I assume)...I have two Apple routers...do you know if Apple routers would have the ability to track data?
A month ago we used to be able to see our total data usage on the eSVT page but now both of those resources are broken. So currently there is no way to see how much data over 100% that you have used.

Crush Of The Day: Sexy Matthew Camp Offers Up Bare Butt On Instagram
New York polymath Matthew Camp is one sexy hunk of man. He's also a very smart one, involved in everything from modelling and acting, to fashion design and perfume creation. Perhaps most notably – for us anyway – was his central role in the excellent Getting Go: The Go Doc Project.
However, he's long been smart enough to know that for many a lot of his appeal is what he looks like when he's not wearing an awful lot, but annoyingly, despite a lot of muscled shirtlessness, he insists on keeping some clothes on. His fans were very pleased then a couple of days ago when he posted a fully nude shot on Instagram, showing off is very peachy buns. You can take a look at it below.
Camp is also helping to steam up Paul Freeman's new coffee table male nude books, Larrikin and Larrikin Yaka (a Larrikin is a rowdy, mischievous but good-hearted young man), which may have an Aussie flavour and title, but obviously doesn't stick to just Australian guys, bringing in Camp for some sexy shots, some of which have shown up on Freeman's Instagram, and which you can see below. You can order copies of Larrikin here and you can see more sexy shots from the books here – and boy did Freeman find some hot guys. [Read more…]

Sock Job Tease – Take a peak at Matthew Camp in a screwball comedy about masturbation, in gif form
If you've ever seen the excellent gay-themed movie Getting Go: The Go Doc Project, or had the pleasure of seeing any of his pics on the internet, you'll know Matthew Camp in an insanely sexy guy. He's also a very smart one, involved in everything from modelling and acting, to fashion design and perfume creation.
Now he's starring in a new film called Sock Job which, rather than releasing a traditional trailer, has decided to post a gif version of its first half. It's well worth a look even if it is slightly jerky and silent – especially as it gets jerky in a different and more sexy way towards the end. It's all a bit intriguing, as while it certainly gives a taste of the film, it's still difficult to fully tell exactly what it might all be about.
Sock Jobs' website merely says, 'Sock Job is a screwball comedy about masturbation, directed by Mark Allen and starring Matthew Camp. "On a dark and stormy night in a secluded cabin in the woods, a young man faces challenges while trying to relieve his boredom."'
The short shot last last year and will hopefully be seen more widely at some point this year. Click here to see the lengthy gif (which you'll be pleased to hear involves quite a lot of Matthew Camp in his underwear). And you can enjoy a selection of stills below.
Getting Go: The Go Doc Project (DVD Review)
June 23, 2014 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment
Starring: Tanner Cohen, Matthew Camp
Director: Cory Krueckeberg
Release Date: June 23rd 2014 (UK)
After Were The World Mine, many hoped we'd see more of the talented Tanner Cohen. However, except for brief appearances in the likes of Looking, he's mainly been busy off-screen (as he let us know, he's been writing novels). Now he's back in Getting Go.
The film follows Doc (Cohen), who decides to combine his fascination with a New York go-go boy and his filmmaking aspirations by making a documentary about the sexy dancer. Having watched him for weeks and secretly photoshopped pictures of him, Doc approaches Go (Matthew Camp) with his filmmaking idea. To his surprise, Go agrees to be the subject of the documentary and they start making the film. [Read more…]
Getting Go: The Go Doc Project's Tanner Cohen Talks About The Film & Getting Close to Co-stars
Tanner Cohen gained a huge amount of fans after he played the lead role in the gay-themed musical Were The World Mine. However except for brief appearances in the likes of Looking, we haven't seen too much of him since (although he's certainly been busy). Now he's back with Getting Go: The Go Doc Project, which is released on DVD and VoD in the UK on June 23rd.
In the movie Tanner plays Doc, a young man fascinated by go-go dancer Go. After Doc gets Go to agree to be the subject of a documentary he wants to make, their relationship develops in unexpected directions.
Yesterday we posted our chat with Getting Go star Matthew Camp, and we were also fortunate enough to chat to Tanner about the film and what he's been up to since Were The World Mine. He also made us wonder just how close him and Matthew got! [Read more…]

Chatting To Getting Go: The Go Doc Project's Incredibly Sexy Matthew Camp
If you've hung around on Tumblr for any length of time, there's a good chance that Matthew Camp will have come across your dashboard, even if you weren't aware of who he was. Matthew is a go-go dancer, whose incredible body and good looks have ensured plenty of photographers have been pleased to get him to model for them.
However he's a bit of a polymath, as he also makes his own fashions and even has a perfume he created. Now only that but he's now turned to acting, starring alongside Tanner Cohen in the excellent Getting Go: The Go Doc Project, which reaches DVD in the UK on June 23rd.
We had the chance to chat with Matthew about his eclectic life and his attitude to sexuality, as well as making a movie where he essentially plays a caricature of himself. [Read more…]

Hurm News Archives: Hello from GenCon!
This page contains a single entry from the blog posted on July 23, 2003 7:57 PM.
The previous post in this blog was Vegas=done, GenCon=to do.
The next post in this blog is I'm back from GenCon!.


The city has always been awaiting me.
A love is still drifting without a home.
My overflowing tears refused to stop.
Letting him know that I will be fine.
I love him so much like I was crazy.
My heart, deeply hurt but I can't forget.
Him and I, no longer have a place here.
Our initial heaven through to our final lie.
If I still have regret, so what?
but can I just become fine now?
became, the deeper we hurt each other.
我的憤怒 只埋在心底嗎 My anger should it only be kept in my heart?
我的快樂 有人能分享嗎 My happiness is there someone who can share in it?
These lyrics and this song have always(especially in the past few months) been making its rounds in my head over and over again, especially the question that Sharon asks; "How can we say a proper goodbye?". Indeed, how can we say goodbye in a way that will leave others with a lasting image of yourself forever? I really like the way these lyrics are written, with a kind of round going in the second and last verses which repeat the first two lines, but change the last two lines, as if remembering for the very last time the words that one had spoken, the times that they had had together. But in the last verse, the question that hangs over this entire song is not answered; How can we say a proper goodbye? Tao ends by singing; "Forgive my silent goodbye", leaving the question unanswered. Is there no way to say a proper goodbye? That's all up to your interpretation!

Tag: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
Earlier this month, the Super Bowl trailer for Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales gave us an eyeful of awesomeness as undead pirates emerged from the swirling whirlpools of the Devil's Triangle to wreak havoc upon the ocean blue.
The impressive preview offered a glimpse of Javier Bardem's Captain Salazar, Geoffrey Rush's Captain Hector Barbossa, a bit of Orlando Bloom's Will Turner and Johnny Depp's muddied Jack Sparrow amid a rollicking seafaring spectacle splashed with sea hags, zombie sharks and barnacled buccaneer corpses.

Now, we've a colorful chestful of cast posters from this summer's sequel that'll have you shivering your timbers! Have a peek at this trio of new posters featuring Captain Jack and co. in the gallery below.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales opens May 26.
Johnny Depp returns to the big screen as the iconic, swashbuckling anti-hero Jack Sparrow in the all-new Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. The rip-roaring adventure finds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazer (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil's Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea — notably Jack.
Jack's only hope of survival lies in the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it he must forge an uneasy alliance with Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), a brilliant and beautiful astronomer, and Henry (Benton Thwaites), a headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy. At the helm of the Dying Gull, his pitifully small and shabby ship, Captain Jack seeks not only to reverse his recent spate of ill fortune but to save his very life from the most formidable and malicious foe he has never faced.

Immigration rules: extending domestic violence protection to refugees (R (A) v Secretary of State for the Home Department)
The wife of a refugee was granted temporary leave to remain in the UK.

However, the concession did not apply to partners of refugees.

Flowers are often bred for brighter and more varied colors.
This corn has been bred to have many full kernels in straight rows and also to taste good and sweet.
When Darwin returned to England from his voyage on the Beagle, he talked to people who bred pigeons for show, message carrying, or other purposes. Darwin realized that breeding works much the same way as his ideas about natural selection, and that many of the same methods that breeders use can also occur in nature and can explain the way organisms change in nature.
Breeding is artificial selection. People decide what traits they want in an animal or plant. They select those of the species that have that trait and mate them so that their offspring have that trait.
First, I would pick out the goats with the longest hair, some male and some female. I would separate them from the rest of the herd and let them mate. When they had kids, some of the kids would have longer hair and some of them would have shorter hair than that of their parents. I would again separate and mate the ones with the longest hair. This group would have an average hair length greater than that of their parents. They would have kids, and I would pick out those with the longest hair (with an average hair length greater than that of their parents or grandparents) and separate and breed those. If I kept doing this for long enough, I would get some very long haired goats. This is how breeding works for any trait that someone wants to enhance in an organism.
Strawberries are bred for color, size, and durability. Wild berries taste better.
This rabbit has been bred for its long fur, which is used to make rabbit-hair yarn. The hair is removed by gently brushing the rabbit, which does not hurt it.
Horses are bred for strength, speed, beauty, and size.


The uncertainty principle actually does not support this simultaneous determination of position and speed. But in quantum mechanics, two objects are not considered separate if they are correlated, i.e., entangled, hence resolving the apparent contradiction. "If we can prove that measurement results of different observables in one system can actually be predicted by measuring a second, remote system, then we can use this evidence to substantiate entanglement as well – and that's exactly what we did in our experiment," states Philipp Kunkel, the study's primary author.
In their experiment, the researchers used a cloud of approximately 11,000 rubidium atoms, which they cooled to extremely low temperatures. Using laser light, they kept the atoms suspended in a vacuum chamber, which allowed them to exclude any disturbing effects, such as collisions with air molecules. Because quantum effects are detectable only at very low temperatures, working with ultracold atoms is required. Like when measuring position and speed, these extreme conditions allow the internal state of the particles, often called spin, to be measured as well. "By measuring the spin in one half of the cloud, we were able to predict the spin in the other more accurately than the local uncertainty principle would allow," explains Philipp Kunkel.
The characterisation of quantum mechanical many-body systems is important for future applications such as quantum computers and quantum communication, among others. The most recent Heidelberg research results were published in "Science".

But most people can and do sustain a relationship despite having IBS and it is perfectly possible to manage your symptoms.
Being honest with your partner is important. Although it can be embarrassing, if you explain your symptoms and how they affect you, your partner will understand if you have to make sudden trips to the toilet or if you are feeling uncomfortable about social situations, or if you suddenly have to change your plans because your IBS has flared up.
If your partner wants to take you for a romantic meal, it is best if they know what sort of food is likely to trigger your symptoms so you can eat somewhere that is gentler on your tummy… or maybe even go to the cinema instead.
Stress can be a major contributor to IBS so if you are worrying about trying to hide your symptoms from your partner it may exacerbate them. The vast majority of people will be sympathetic and understanding if they are with IBS. It is a very common condition so they may even have some experience of it themselves.
At first people tend to be curious so be prepared to answer some questions. It's up to you how much information you choose to share, or not.
Often one of the questions people ask is 'what can I do to help?' It can be really helpful if you have some ideas about how they could help you. If the roles were reversed, you would probably want to help your partner if you could and understanding what to do will enable them to feel valued and included.
Be flexible and understanding – IBS can flare up at unexpected and sometimes inconvenient times. Try not to get angry or blame your partner as this won't help.
Listen if your partner wants to talk about IBS but don't make it the sole topic of conversation.
Try focusing on positives rather than negatives. Be encouraging if your partner is trying new diets or stress reduction techniques. Why not show your support by joining in?
Lack of planning, disorganisation and overcommitting yourselves can increase stress levels and may result in your partner not eating as carefully as they should to control their symptoms. Try to plan ahead, eat regularly and make sure there is always a good supply of the right types of food in the fridge.
Sometimes your partner may need just to rest with a hot water bottle or lie in a warm bath. Having a loving partner to make the hot water bottle or run the bath may be just what they need to feel better.

Bryce Cotton Haunts The Hawks To Lead Cats To NBL Summit
He has been hot and cold all season, but Perth dynamo Bryce Cotton torched the Illawarra Hawks for a season-high 36 points in Sunday's 99-91 victory in Wollongong.
Cotton, who blasted the Hawks for 45 to clinch last year's grand final series, was back to his blistering best, connecting on 7/11 threes.
The Cats also received a strong contribution off the bench from Derek Cooke Jr (19 points, seven rebounds), while JP Tokoto finished with 13 points after having just two at half-time.
Acrobatic Illawarra import Demitrius Conger returned with a bang after a one-game suspension, pouring in a team-high 30.
But the reigning champions absorbed the Hawks' best punches for three quarters before pulling away down the stretch and joining New Zealand at the top of the ladder with a 10-3 record.
The Hawks slipped to 5-8 but will be comforted by the fact their next six games are in Wollongong.
Kevin White moved back into the starting five to cover the absence of injured guard Mitch Norton and helped the Hawks jump out to a 13-8 lead.
But Cotton signalled his intentions by nailing his first four shots, as the 'Cats peeled off a 12-2 run.
Illawarra coach Rob Beveridge held his breath when AJ Ogilvy went down injured after six minutes. The three-time All-NBL centre headed to the locker room before returning to the court in the second period and finishing the game with 10 points and eight rebounds.
Luckily for the Hawks, Conger was cooking from the get-go, racking up nine points and three boards in the first quarter.
Cotton nailed a pair of free throws in the closing seconds to give the visitors a 25-24 quarter-time lead.
Illawarra gave Cotton less room to operate in the second period, allowing him to add just four to his tally.
Conger upped his total to 14 by half-time and Clarke had 10, which included a long-distance bomb and a dazzling reverse layup.
The 'Cats were slapped with two technicals in the first half and Tokoto was uncharacteristically cold, missing seven of eight shots and racking up three fouls and three turnovers.
But Perth got timely help from the bench with Cooke Jr's 10 points and four rebounds, taking a 46-44 lead into the main break.
Cotton kept the 'Cats in front with a couple of early threes in the third period, though it didn't stop coach Trevor Gleeson using a timeout after one too many defensive lapses.
He got the response he was after, as Perth knuckled down at both ends to pull ahead 71-64 at three-quarter time.
They kept the Hawks at bay down the stretch to stay on track for the minor premiership.

It is estimated that more than 8 million children worldwide have been born as a result of assisted reproductive technologies, many of whom have been conceived of sperm or oocyte donation. Traditionally, most countries favoured anonymous donation models, and thus restricted the right of donor-conceived persons to know their origins.
International and European human rights law has moved towards recognition of a right to know one's origins. This right, however, is not absolute and must be balanced against the interests of the other parties involved: principally those of the donor(s) and the legal parent(s), but also those of clinics and service-providers, as well as the interests of society and the obligations of the State.
The Parliamentary Assembly should thus recommend that the Committee of Ministers make recommendations to member States in order to improve the protection of the rights of all the parties concerned. The Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development believes that anonymity should be waived for all future gamete donations. The anonymity of gamete donors should not be lifted retrospectively where anonymity was promised at the time of the donation, except for medical reasons or where the donor has consented to the lifting of the anonymity.
1.	It is estimated that more than 8 million children worldwide have been born as a result of assisted reproductive technologies, many of whom have been conceived of sperm or oocyte donation. Traditionally, most States favoured anonymous donation models, as legislation in this area was often derived from legislation in the organ donation or international adoption field. Most States thus restricted the right of donor-conceived persons to know their origins.
2.	International and European human rights law – including the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights – has, in the last decades, moved towards recognition of a right to know one's origins, connected to the right to an identity and to personal development. This right includes the right to access information that would make it possible to trace one's roots, to know the circumstances of one's birth and to have access to certainty of parental filiation.
4.	This balancing of the different rights, interests and obligations has until recently often tended to favour the donor's right to privacy, and therefore, donor anonymity. However, several European States have decided to waive donor anonymity, and the State of Victoria in Australia has abolished donor anonymity completely and retrospectively, having come to the conclusion that the State had a responsibility to provide all donor-conceived people with an opportunity to access information, including identifying information, about their donors.
1.	Assisted reproduction using donor sperm has been in place for several decades. The European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology estimates that there are more than 8 million children worldwide born as a result of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). In Council of Europe member States there are different types of legislation on human gamete donation, namely sperm and oocyte donation for treatment using ART.
2.	Traditionally, most States have restricted the right of a person born as a result of artificial insemination by donor sperm (AID) to know their origins. This restriction may be due to legislation, but also to the absence of a system for gathering information on the identities of donors. In the same way as similar legal proceedings on adoption, in cases concerning assisted procreation using human gametes a conflict between the child's right to information and the adult's right to anonymity has typically been resolved in favour of the adult.
3.	The anonymity of gamete donors was introduced in the law of many States to ensure that donations would remain altruistic and voluntary, and also to guarantee respect for the donor's private life and the interests of the legal family of the donor-conceived person. It would seem, however, that these grounds for the principle of donor anonymity are now, to some extent, obsolete. The principle of the anonymity of human gamete donors is today called into question by the increasing number of challenges thereto, by changes in society and by the evolution of genetic technology.
4.	The Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development held a public hearing on the subject in Lisbon (Portugal) on 17 September 2018, with the participation of Ms Carla Maria Pinho Rodrigues (President of the National Council of Medically Assisted Procreation of Portugal), Mr Miguel Oliveira Da Silva (member of the Committee on Bioethics of the Council of Europe, Portugal), two donor-conceived persons and an anonymous donor.
5.	In this report, I intend to give an overview of the international/European legal framework and of the issues at stake. From a human rights perspective, there is a need to find a balance between the rights and interests of all parties concerned, i.e. donors, donor-conceived children/persons and legal parents, clinics and service providers, as well as the interests of society and the obligations of the State.
6.	The anonymity of human gamete donors is no longer a principle unanimously adhered to at European level. Internationally, a tendency towards recognition of a donor-conceived person's right to know their origins has been emerging for a number of decades. In 1984, Sweden was the first country to waive the principle of the anonymity of gamete donations. The Swedish example was then followed by several other countries such as Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland, Iceland and the United Kingdom. Recently, Portugal's Constitutional Court held that anonymous gamete donations were unconstitutional, thereby changing the legal situation regarding donations in Portugal and conferring force of law on the right of access to one's genetic origins. There is therefore a growing tendency to give priority to the rights of donor-conceived persons to know their origins and to favour waiving the anonymity of gamete donors.
7.	Several international instruments reflect this development. Firstly, Article 7.1 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) of 20 November 1989 provides for a child's right to know his or her parents "as far as possible". Article 8 of the CRC also establishes the right of the child to preserve his or her identity, including family relations, without unlawful interference. It goes on to provide that States shall grant appropriate assistance and protection with a view to speedy re-establishment of the child's identity. However, it should be noted that the CRC applies solely to "children". Its scope does not extend to adults conceived through gamete donation who wish to know their genetic origins.
It can certainly be argued that the situation of donor-conceived persons is closer to that of children who have been adopted across borders than to recipients of organ donation.
9.	The European Convention on Human Rights (ETS No. 5, "the Convention") may also be useful in this respect, in that it applies to all persons, whether a minor or an adult. Since the early 2000s, the European Court of Human Rights has given a constructive interpretation to Article 8 of the Convention which provides for a person's right to respect for private life. It has, for example, held that Article 8 protects "the right to an identity and to personal development", which includes the right to access information that would make it possible to trace "some of [one's] roots". It has also held that Article 8 implies the right of a person to know their origins and the circumstances of their birth and a right to have access to certainty of paternal filiation.
10.	The Court thus places emphasis on the vital interest of the child, even as an adult, to obtain information essential to discovering the truth about an important aspect of their personal life, which includes the identity of their genitor. However, as reflected in the Court's judgments, the right to know one's origins is not absolute and must always be balanced against the interests of the other parties concerned. What is striking is that this balancing often tends to favour the genitor's right to privacy, and therefore, donor anonymity. In addition, none of the Court's decisions so far have specifically concerned the right of a person conceived by means of gamete donation to have access to information on the donor, although a number of applications are currently pending (against France) on this subject. It is therefore not possible for the moment to establish with certainty whether or not the Court is in favour of waiving donor anonymity.
11.	In view of what can be perceived as the limited scope of international instruments guaranteeing the right to know one's origins and of the remaining disparities between national laws, which are likely to increase recourse to cross-border medically assisted procreation, the Assembly should draw attention to the existing inadequacies and make recommendations regarding the steps that might be considered by Council of Europe member States and the Council of Europe itself to clarify the situation and find the best balance.
12.	The anonymity of gamete donors raises a number of issues, which lead to the question of whether it should be maintained in the legislation of member States.
13.	Firstly, the principle of anonymity of gamete donors raises a public health issue, since it means that the donor-conceived person cannot be informed of their genitor's medical history. Moreover, it increases the risk of consanguinity, as some donors who have made several donations may end up with several children, without the latter being able to know whether they are related when they wish to enter into a relationship with each other. Despite the fact that some States limit the number of donations that can be made by a single donor, the "serial donors" phenomenon is exacerbated by the recurring lack of a system for exchanging information between clinics performing artificial insemination by donor within a State (for example, in my home country Belgium, or, historically, in the Netherlands ), and also by the phenomenon of cross-border donations.
14.	Secondly, the principle of anonymity raises the fundamental ethical issue of the position of the donor-conceived person. Although the quest to find out about their identity by persons born as a result of anonymous gamete donation differs somewhat from that of adopted persons and may apparently seem "of lesser importance", it is nonetheless just as legitimate, as transpires from the claims of the many associations such as Procréation Médicalement Anonyme. Many donor-conceived persons believe that access to their donor's identity is a fundamental aspect of their identity building (as children and adults), although there are some donor-conceived persons who believe that assuring emotional and physical security to a child is more important than transmitting genetic material, and thus are interested only in the disclosure of non-identifying information.
15.	The principle of anonymity of gamete donors is often modelled on the anonymous nature of organ donations, but it has different implications. Organ donations save lives whereas gamete donations create lives. The donation of gametes will therefore determine certain physical characteristics of the donor-conceived person. I thus believe that access to the donor's identity is a fundamental aspect of the child's identity building. However, for a donor-conceived child to be able to build its identity, it is, first of all, necessary for the child to be informed that he/she was conceived of gamete donation, which is far from being the norm, even today.
16.	An American study carried out in 2017 noted that in a sample of young American adults conceived through a sperm donation programme with the identity of the donor being accessible, 40% asked for access to the identity of the donor. Another American study conducted in 2010 showed that 65% of donor-conceived persons considered that the donor constituted half of themselves, that 70% of them wondered what the family of their donor was like and 69% wondered if the donor's family would like to get to know them. It can therefore reasonably be assumed that at least one out of two donor-conceived persons is seeking to know their origins, hence the importance for these persons of having access to certain information about their genitors. So-called "genealogical bewilderment" and a "fractured sense of identity" can lead to considerable suffering for donor-conceived persons who cannot access identifying information about their donors. It is interesting to note in this regard that the parliamentary Victorian Law Reform Committee (Australia) in its 2012 inquiry report recognised that "donor-conceived people are actually suffering from their lack of knowledge about donors".
17.	Finally, the principle of anonymity is becoming obsolete due to the evolution of genetic technology, making it possible for a person to have access to their genetic data and therefore to find their genitor. "Recreational" genetic tests are becoming increasingly common worldwide and access to testing, whether via internet or when travelling abroad, is now very easy. Donor anonymity is, de facto, no longer guaranteed today. It would therefore appear more appropriate to prevent potential excesses arising from developments in these technologies by waiving the anonymity of gamete donors and by managing the manner in which this information is communicated to the donor-conceived person, instead of allowing anonymity to remain in place even though it has now become outdated.
18.	It should first be said that the aim is not to abolish the anonymity requirement completely, but simply to waive it so that the parents cannot know the identity of the donor at the moment of insemination and vice versa, but the donor-conceived person can later have access to certain information. It is therefore more accurate to talk in terms of access to information rather than abolition of the principle of the anonymity of gamete donation. However, there would seem to be certain practical, as well as ethical, obstacles to such a waiver of the anonymity requirement.
19.	The argument systematically put forward by the clinics which carry out artificial inseminations with donor sperm is that the number of donors will decrease in the event of a waiver of anonymity. However, this argument is not backed by statistics. No decrease in donations has been noted in the countries which have granted the right to have access to one's origins. In Sweden, for example, the 1984 law providing for the right of donor-conceived persons to have access to their genetic origins resulted in a decrease in the number of donors in the first year only, but this trend has now reversed. In the United Kingdom, since 2005, when the law changed, donations have steadily increased. The different studies carried out have shown a substantial change in the donor profile, as they are generally older and have had time to think about their decision, but not a reduction in their number.
20.	Lastly, an ethical obstacle is often cited by those opposed to recognition of the right of donor-conceived persons to have access to information on their genitors: the risk of eroding the family unit comprising the legal parents and the donor-conceived person in favour of the donor – the biological parent – and therefore of "reducing" filiation to biological parenthood. However, it is generally recognised that donor-conceived persons wishing to know their genetic origins already have parents and are not in pursuit of an emotional bond or looking for a family, but are instead searching for a part of their history and identity. Therefore, in view of changes in society and in attitudes with regard to the plurality of family types which can be noted today, it would seem easy to imagine a form of peaceful coexistence of the truth about a person's origins and their legal filiation, without the latter being under threat, as they clearly have different functions and prerogatives.
21.	Furthermore, in the countries where the right of access to one's origins has been recognised, waiving anonymity has had no legal consequences for filiation, as it is already established between the donor-conceived person and the legal parent. The donor is thus protected from any request to determine parentage or an inheritance or parenting claim. The State and its bodies will have an essential role to play in this development, both with a view to eliminating the legal risks for filiation through legislation and identifying the donors and those who receive gamete donations in order to improve the transparency of AID techniques.
22.	I believe it is useful to clarify once more who has which interests when it comes to gamete donation. I have identified the following interested parties: the legal parent(s), the donor(s), the donor-conceived person (as a child and as an adult), the clinics and service providers, and society (the State).
23.	The legal parent(s) are the ones who seek to found a family with the help of ART, sperm and/or oocyte donation. Without their wish for a child, no donor-conceived child would be born – in contrast to adopted children or children abandoned at birth. The legal parents have the intention, right and obligation to parent the child conceived through gamete donation, which has led legislators and courts across countries to ensure that their legal parental filiation is not challenged by the donor(s). However, I am not aware of a jurisdiction which obliges the legal parents to inform their child that he/she is donor-conceived. Yet I doubt whether it is really in the interest of the legal parents to preserve "family peace" by hiding the method of conception from their child, as chances are that the child will find out at some point in any case. "Late" or accidental disclosure may lead to a child feeling betrayed by the legal parent(s), and may thus lead to estrangement rather than "family peace", which is not in the interest of the legal parents. However, in some cultures (including in Europe) the use of ART continues to be viewed negatively (though the stigma seems to be decreasing), which can explain the reluctance of some parents to disclose.
24.	What are the interests of the donor? In accordance with Council of Europe standards, gamete donation is meant to be a "voluntary and altruistic gesture with the sole aim of helping others", and thus without any financial gain or comparable advantage for the donor. However, this does not prevent the reimbursement of justifiable expenses related to the donation itself (for example, travel, medication) or compensation for loss of earnings. Some donors have admitted having other motivations than the "sole aim of helping others": reimbursement of such expenses can be quite high, in particular for cross-border oocyte donations, so sometimes there has been a financial motive; others have given psychological reasons, such as a wish for immortality. In most cases, it is in the interest of the donor to be protected from legal, financial or parenting claims. However, some donors – in particular later in life, and if they have founded no family of their own – welcome contact with the children/adults conceived by the donation and are interested in building a relationship with them (which can go as far as legal filiation in isolated cases). It is in general not in the interest of the donor for his/her identity to be revealed without his/her consent in situations when anonymity was promised at the time of the donation.
25.	As already described above, donor-conceived children have not just an interest, but also a right to know their parents as far as possible; as adults, they retain the right to know their origins and the circumstances of their birth. For medical reasons and to avoid consanguinity, it is in their interest to have access at least to non-identifying information about their donor(s), but for their identity-building and personal development, having access to identifying information is usually also in their interest. However, whether to exercise their possibility to access this information should be left to the discretion of the donor-conceived persons themselves in my view. On another note, I believe it is not in the interest of donor-conceived persons to have far more half-siblings than is the norm.
26.	The clinics and service-providers have an interest in being able to offer comprehensive ART services in compliance with the law, and an interest in keeping accurate records whatever the legal situation in the country concerned in order to be able to comply with that legislation (including when it is changed retrospectively). Cross-border gamete donations and ART should be particularly meticulously documented.
28.	Balancing all the above interests is not easy, and different solutions have been found in different countries at different times. One size may not fit all. However, it is also clear that some solutions have been better at avoiding abuses and at keeping the "social peace" than others. It should not be forgotten that donor-conceived persons risk losing their lives if their donor cannot or will not be identified (when they are in need of a transplant, for example), and that both some donors and some donor-conceived people have suffered greatly from accidental disclosure (including situations of consanguinity).
29.	The distinguishing features of the Council of Europe, namely its mandate encompassing the promotion of human rights, democracy and the rule of law, and its role of promoting good practice among the member States, place the Organisation in an ideal position to address the risks and challenges related to the anonymity of gamete donations. It is thus for the Council of Europe to make recommendations to States in order to improve the protection of the rights of all the parties concerned, namely the parents, the donors and the children, while focusing on the rights of the donor-conceived person, who is in the most vulnerable position and for whom the stakes appear to be higher.
30.	My recommendation would thus be, for all future gamete donations in Europe, to waive anonymity. This would mean that (except in exceptional cases, when the donation is from a close relative or friend), the donor's identity would not be revealed at the time of the donation, but upon the child's 16th or 18th birthday, the donor-conceived child would be informed (ideally by the State) that there is supplementary information available on the circumstances of his/her birth. It would be up to the donor-conceived person whether and when to access this information containing the identity of the donor. The legal situation of the donor – no parental rights or responsibilities – would not change in this scenario.
31.	In this scenario, it would be up to the clinics to inform the State upon the birth of a donor-conceived child of the child's and the donor's identity, and up to the State to keep an up-to-date register of all donor-conceived children and their donors. There should also be an upper limit on the number of possible donations by the same donor which would need to be properly enforced.
32.	Regarding donations made in the past where anonymity was promised, I don't believe this should be lifted retroactively, except for medical reasons or where the donor has consented to the lifting of the anonymity. No changes to legal parentage should result from the lifting of the anonymity even when the donor has agreed to it being lifted. Donors should be offered counselling before they decide whether or not to agree to lift anonymity. Proper guidance, counselling and support should also be offered to donor-conceived persons before they decide whether to exercise their right to access information containing the identity of the donor.
33.	These principles should be applied without prejudice to the overriding consideration that gamete donation must remain a voluntary and altruistic gesture with the sole aim of helping others, and thus without any financial gain or comparable advantage for the donor. I would suggest leaving it to the Committee of Ministers to decide whether these recommendations should ultimately become legally binding.


Last week I was one of 20 birchbloggers selected by Birchbox to attend the pre-Cynthia Rowley shopping event at her Madison boutique. I arrived just in time to receive my birchbox filled with must haves including the designer's Spring Confetti collection and makeup case. What was so perfect about this event is how intimate the boutique especially with the entrance to the store. Upon entry, I browsed through the collection of gorgeous dresses and beautiful swim suits until I arrived at the display table filled with sweet candy. Confetti was sprinkled everywhere. Cotton candy was used as a topping for many birchbloggers' drinks.
Thanks. Hopefully there will be more events like this next year!
Haha thanks. This was such a cool event and I love everything from Cytnthia Rowley. Hopefully there will be more events like this next year!

Q: How to fix IntegrityError during the process of saving cropped photo records Having the model :
class Photo(models.Model):
    file = models.ImageField(upload_to='cropped_photos/',null=True,blank=True)
    description = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True)
    uploaded_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    customer = models.ForeignKey(Woo_Customer,verbose_name="Customer",on_delete = models.CASCADE)

I find difficulty in the process of saving a photo record for specific customer after the procedure of uploading and cropping an image with cropper plugin.
I do not know how to pass the id of my FK(customer) to the Photo record at the phase of creating the Photo record.
Here is my form:
class PhotoForm(ModelForm):
    x = FloatField(widget=HiddenInput())
    y = FloatField(widget=HiddenInput())
    width = FloatField(widget=HiddenInput())
    height = FloatField(widget=HiddenInput())

    class Meta:
        model = Photo
        fields = ('file', 'x', 'y', 'width', 'height')

    def save(self):
        photo = super(PhotoForm, self).save()

        x = self.cleaned_data.get('x')
        y = self.cleaned_data.get('y')
        w = self.cleaned_data.get('width')
        h = self.cleaned_data.get('height')

        image = Image.open(photo.file)
        cropped_image = image.crop((x, y, w+x, h+y))
        resized_image = cropped_image.resize((200, 200), Image.ANTIALIAS)
        resized_image.save(photo.file.path)

        return photo

Here is my view:
def customer_photo_gallery(request,pk):
    photos = Photo.objects.filter(customer_id = pk)
    customer = Woo_Customer.objects.get(id = pk)
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = PhotoForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return redirect('photo_list')
    else:
        form = PhotoForm()
    return render(request, 'woo_customer/woo_customer_photo_gallery.html', {'form': form, 'photos': photos , 'customer': customer})

Here is the template using the cropper plugin (https://fengyuanchen.github.io/cropper/)
{% block content %}

Photo Gallery Album of Customer : {{customer.first_name}} {{customer.last_name}}

  <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="formUpload">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form }}
  </form>

          <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
            ×
          </button>

Crop the photo

            <button type="button" class="btn btn-default js-zoom-in">

            </button>
            <button type="button" class="btn btn-default js-zoom-out">

            </button>

          <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Nevermind</button>
          <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary js-crop-and-upload">Crop and upload</button>

    {% for photo in photos %}

    {% endfor %}

{% endblock %}

How it is possible to give the id of the customer to the Photo record , since the latter is created with javascript at the template and not at the view?
After pressing the button Crop and upload I got the error "(1048, "Column 'customer_id' cannot be null")

A: you have to pass pk i.e. customer_id by setting up urls.py and when you hit the corresponding URL, from the browser you need to pass the id as parameter
something like
localhost:8080/path_that_renders_ customer_photo_gallery?id=1
from django.url import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
   path('path_that_renders_customer_photo_gallery/<int:pk>/', views.customer_photo_gallery)

We made the rule for our school that the vampires who go to our school actually need to be teenagers...not hundreds of years [old] because then you get into some creepy math.

A Chinese newspaper has accused the US of resorting to a "despicable rogue's approach" in asking Canada to arrest the daughter of the founder of Huawei, and says this is because Washington "cannot stop Huawei's 5G advance in the market".
The Global Times said the arrest of Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of the Chinese telecommunications giant in Vancouver on 1 December, went "against the consensus reached between the heads of state of China and the US in Argentina".
The reference was to a working dinner between Chinese President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, at which they agreed to tone down the developing bilateral trade war.
China has asked the US and Canada to clarify why Meng was detained and to release her immediately, saying the arrest was a violation of her rights. The incident has been described as a dangerous precedent.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said he was told in advance of the arrest. US National Security Adviser John Bolton also said he knew Meng would be arrested before the incident took place.
In other developments around the case, Reuters reported that Meng was arrested as part of an US investigation into the use of the global banking system to evade US sanctions against Iran.
Reuters said the investigation had recently focused on Huawei's use of HSBC to make allegedly illegal transactions involving Iran.
The Global Times said the arrest sent a message to the international community that the US was targeting Huawei.
"It is clear that Washington is maliciously finding fault with Huawei and trying to put the company in jeopardy with US laws," the newspaper said.
"Washington is attempting to damage Huawei's international reputation and taking aim at the tech giant's global market in the name of law."

Is it my imagination or does Propane burn hotter than Butane?
We use both from time too time and it seems Butane takes longer to boil a saucepan of water than Propane.
Are there any experts out there who can give a definitive answer?
Butane provides almost twice (?) the heat value of propane, but dosent work well in (very) cold weather, hence Prope is the 'in' gas for outdoor winter types......And it's a tad cheaper.
Propane and butane are two similar gases used for heating and other fuel applications. Although proponents of each gas hold theirs to be the superior, both have benefits and disadvantages. Butane burns more cleanly and provides more energy, but propane is a better choice for situations in which temperatures may drop below freezing. Ultimately, the gases are quite similar, and the choice between the two largely depends on the availability and intended use of the product.
Both gases are derived from petroleum, either from oil or natural gas, but have different chemical structures. Each burns at similar temperatures and both release water and carbon dioxide as waste products. If the amount of oxygen available is limited when the gasses are being burned, they may also produce soot and carbon monoxide. In some cases, the gases may be used interchangeably, but people should always consult the manufacturer before attempting to substitute one for the other.
Propane works all the time.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
But I'm still convinced that when boiling a saucepan of water the Propane boils it quicker and also when using the cadac it seems to get hotter more quickly than Butane.
Just realised that my van was probably designed for 2 x Campingaz bottles, not Calor 4.5kg (that's why I couldn't carry a spare Calor bottle - too big).
The largest Campingaz 'only' holds 2.7kg of gas but it is amazing how much gas it produces.
I think there is a real life difference but it is not down to "calorific values" . When you start cooking the liquid gas in the bottle starts to cool as gas is drawn off. In extreme cases this can cause ice to form on the outside of the bottle - and show you exactly how much gas you have left, so it isn't all a bad thing. With butane as the liquid cools the pressure falls significantly. With propane, which has a much lower boiling point the reduction in pressure is not nearly so marked. So I guess it is quicker cooking with propane because the cooker (or BBQ) is running off a higher gas pressure.

#52 Ancestors Week 25 - "Same Name"
I didn't know who to post about this week. I'm finding out there are a LOT of people with the same name in my tree. When researching my 4th great grandfather, William Marr for the Week 15 prompt, "Taxes" I remembered his grandson had a child named Thomas Jefferson Marr. I figured there had to be to be some kind of story behind that, so he's my guy for having the same name as the 3rd President of the United States.
Grandson John Marr Jr. was born in Pennsylvania, September 24, 1800 but he was raised in Canada. John Marr Sr. was granted land in Markham, Ontario, Canada in November
1801, and moved his family from Pennsylvania. John Jr. married Barbara Maria Brooks and raised 7 children in Markham before moving to Howell, Michigan where the couple had 3 more sons. Thomas Jefferson Marr was born in Howell on April 2, 1843. Maybe he was given the patriotic name because his father's political loyalties had changed?
For one generation of Marrs, the Revolutionary War the divided the family. This generation it was the Civil War. This is an excerpt from the obituary of Thomas Jefferson's father, John Marr, Jr.:
"... Randall, a son born after his parents came to Howell, {Michigan} went to Texas, and on the opening of the war of the Rebellion joined the Confederate army, and is supposed to have lost his life in that service. Another son, Thomas J Marr, born in Howell, entered the Union Service in the 5th Michigan Infantry, and while in that service was captured by the enemy, and died in one of the Southern prisons. Five of the ten children of the family are now living.
Massaponax Church, Virginia

With some digging, I was able to piece together where Thomas Jefferson Marr was on the day he was taken prisoner. He was mustered in to the service of the 5th Regiment, Livingston County, Michigan in February of 1864 at 21 years of age. He had only been a soldier for 4 months when he was captured. On the Civil War Prisons website, I found his record showing he was captured on May 21, 1864 at North Anna Lake, Virginia and taken to the notorious Andersonville Prison in Sumter, Georgia. This was two days before The Battle of North Anna , a showdown between Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. This photo on was taken the morning of May 21, 1864, the exact day Thomas Jefferson Marr was apprehended. Ulysses S. Grant is seated under the smaller tree on the left, with his head down, writing a dispatch, according to the photographer. In the background (click picture to enlarge) you can see a wagon train passing by, many with the Union 5th Corps emblem painted on the canvas. That was Thomas Jefferson Marr's regiment.
Reading about the conditions at Andersonville Prison is gut wrenching. Sgt. Major Robert H. Kellogg was taken prisoner there on May 2, 1864, a few weeks before Thomas arrived. He survived, and wrote the following description:
Andersonville Survivor
As we entered the place, a spectacle met our eyes that almost froze our blood with horror, and made our hearts fail within us. Before us were forms that had once been active and erect;—stalwart men, now nothing but mere walking skeletons, covered with filth and vermin. Many of our men, in the heat and intensity of their feeling, exclaimed with earnestness. "Can this be hell?" "God protect us!" and all thought that he alone could bring them out alive from so terrible a place. In the center of the whole was a swamp, occupying about three or four acres of the narrowed limits, and a part of this marshy place had been used by the prisoners as a sink, and excrement covered the ground, the scent arising from which was suffocating. The ground allotted to our ninety was near the edge of this plague-spot, and how we were to live through the warm summer weather in the midst of such fearful surroundings, was more than we cared to think of just then.
Thomas Jefferson Marr's cause of death is listed as "Diarrhea". I found his entry in the US Registers of Deaths Of Volunteers, 1861 - 1865, pictured here. He passed away on July 7, 1864. The prison population of over 31,000 in the sweltering Georgia heat, were suffering from typhoid fever, dysentery, filthy living conditions and no sanitation. When the war ended the commandant of the prison,Captain Henry Wirz, was tried and executed for conspiracy and murder relating to his command of the camp. The conspiracy charge alleged that he tried to impair the lives of Union soldiers by subjecting them to suffering and torture. He was hanged on November 10th, 1865.
I'm not sure what I expected to discover about this ancestor, but I ended up learning a lot about a shameful part of American history. Thanks, Thomas Jefferson! During the 14 months Andersonville Prison was in operation 13,000 soldiers died in captivity. The National Prisoner of War Museum was opened in 1998 as a memorial to all American POWs. The prisoner's burial ground is now a National Cemetery. There are 13,714 graves there. 921 are marked "Unknown". At least there is some lasting marker that this young man suffered and died in service to his beliefs. Taken prisoner in his namesake's home state of Virginia, and buried in the deep south. That's a long way from Howell, Michigan. Rest in Peace.

We visited our local Chinese Buffet Restaurant in Wakefield City Centre on Tuesday. Whilst there, we tasted prawn crackers and spring rolls. We also learned how to say 'Happy New Year' in Chinese which is 'Xin nian kuai le'.


I just picked up a copy of In Rainbows again. However, this time around I picked up the meatspace version. It came in cool cardboard packaging with a flap and contained a couple stickers, a little booklet and a nice sleeve surrounding the CD inside.
