FedEx signs up for Bahrain airport’s new cargo area
04 / 02 / 2019
US parcel giant FedEx has signed a letter of intent for warehouse space at Bahrain International Airport’s (BIA) new 25,000 sq m cargo area, sited near the northern runway.
The facility, which has two further tenants waiting in the wings, comprises warehouses, aircraft parking, and associated infrastructure aimed at handling air cargo traffic and e-commerce.
FedEx has taken a total of 9,000 sq m of which 5,000 sq m will be warehousing and the rest will be manoeuvring area.
Bahrian’s transport minister and Bahrain Airport Company (BAC) chairman, Kamal bin Ahmed Mohammed, said: “BAC has a comprehensive plan to attract prominent cargo companies to the Kingdom, which will strengthen Bahrain’s strategic position as a leading provider of efficient logistics services in the region.”
Speaking at the signing ceremony with FedEx, the minister added: “We are currently negotiating with two other companies wishing to operate warehouses at the new cargo area, which further demonstrates the Kingdom’s strong reputation as a regional hub for logistical services in the GulfCooperation Council (GCC) and wider Middle East.”
He added: “The new air cargo area that BAC is constructed north of the runway is an important part of the overall growth strategy adopted by the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications, and a key component in the Airport Modernization Program (AMP), which is due to be completed by the third quarter of 2019.
“It also reflects the important steps that the company is taking to enhance the airport’s infrastructure and increase its ability to accommodate rising local and regional demand. The new cargo area will create more job opportunities and enable the airport to handle larger volumes.”
FedEx Express Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa (MEISA) regional president James Muhs said: “The GCC is an important region for FedEx Express, where enhanced collaboration between public and private sectors is fueling growth across industries. The logistics market forms a fundamental part of the GCC economy, and we remain committed to serving our customers across Bahrain, and connecting them with people and possibilities around the world.”

Another week done. The plan for this week called for 0-4-9-4-0-9-19. Actual was 0-4-6-6-0-19-9. Monday through Wednesday I actually got up early and went for a walk Monday and ran Tuesday and Wednesday. Then Thursday and Friday I went back to staying up too late and not getting up early. I enjoy getting up early and getting my exercise in but I also enjoy staying up late. I wish I needed less sleep.
My 19 mile run was a challenge to say the least. It was raining for the first half and 19 miles is just a long way to run. Since it was raining and I knew I was going to be running for 3+ hours, I was concerned about chaffing and blisters. Besides the normal band aids on my nipples and Body Glide on areas known to chaff, I put a little Aquaphor on my toes and balls of my feet. No blisters so at the least, it didn't hurt. I did have some chaffing on the left side of my back from my heart rate strap and/or shirt. It was bad enough that my shirt turned pink from blood. Lesson learned there. I took pictures but decided to spare you all. You're welcome :-).
I did cheat a bit on my MAF training and let my heart rate go into the mis 150's instead of the mid 140's that I usually try to maintain. I figured that in the race, I'll be letting my hr go up so I might as well do it on my long runs. 3+ hours is a long time to run. Long enough that I started getting sore during the run. That's no fun and made me question why I'm even doing this. I suppose that is normal thinking when running the furthest I've ever run on pavement, logging my biggest mileage week ever and being on pace to have my biggest running month ever.
That said, I'm hungry, like all the time...
Grill two, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, amd corn.
Grill one. Bacon pork kabobs.

I must first warn everyone that are pictures in this blog that may be upsetting to some, yet beautiful to others! So please keep this in mind while reading this post. I have always been so blessed to have wonderful pregnancy with my children. As many have told me, I was built to carry babies! Which I am not exactly sure what that means. We found out over the summer that I was expecting another baby! For us this news was shocking due to the fact we had a miscarriage earlier in the summer. After a few weeks of wrapping our heads around the idea we became excited, however we held off on spreading the news or becoming to excited due to the fact I had miscarried prior. For me I felt different about this pregnancy. I had my last baby at home and always new if I got pregnant again I would have that baby at home, but something was different this time. I was so nervous about having the baby at home. I had an uneasy feeling one that I couldn’t shake. After meeting with my midwife we found out she no longer took insurance so that forced me to make other decisions. After researching all my options, I decided to go with the midwives at a local hospital. I new this hospital was great for high risk pregnancy, but wasn’t so sure how they were for “normal” pregnancy.
Finally I put my nerves and uneasy feelings aside and determined I must be having a boy, that’s why I feel this way! I begin to get excited and start pulling out all that old baby stuff. We started thinking of names me focusing on boy names! At my 18 week ultrasound we decided to tell our other children they were having a baby brother or sister. I was so upset when they couldn’t tell me the sex of the baby. I had worked my way into an earlier appointment so I would find this news out prior to thanksgiving so we could share our wonderful news with family and friends. On wednesday the day before thanksgiving we got the worst news we could ever get. We were told that our ultrasound came back abnormal and my amniotic fluid was low, they feared something was wrong with the babies left kidney. We would be referred to a specialist after thanksgiving. Rather than us get upset, I begin to do research on this information and pray that this was a mistake. We decided to hold off on telling our family and friends until we knew exactly what was going on. We enjoyed our Holiday as much as possible and remained optimistic that the ultrasound was wrong.
The Wednesday after Thanksgiving we met with the specialist and found out the most horrifying news a parent can ever hear. Our baby had a fatal illness, and he would die either prior to birth or immediately after birth. He had multicystic dysplastic kidney’s, and I had zero amniotic fluid. I had never heard of this in my life. I was heart broken. They gave us all our options, and recommended that we induce my labor as soon as possible. I couldn’t breathe. I called some very close friends of mine and shared the news with them. I ask them to pray for a miracle that this diagnosis was wrong or that my baby would be healed. That following week we met with a neonatal specialist and discussed what a baby goes through that has this illness she gave us a life expectancy rate of 0%! There hasn’t been one baby that lives who has this illness. I broke down in tears, how could this be happening to me. I was known for having healthy pregnancy and healthy babies, what did I do different this time, what went wrong? The doctors assured me I didn’t do anything wrong this type of thing just happens they don’t know why. They scheduled us to be induced the following day. I had to have one more ultrasound one more opinion. I was still praying for a miracle. I could feel my baby move! I was 21 weeks. On December 10 we went in for our final ultrasound. The cyst had grown, and they couldn’t find my baby’s bladder nor stomach, the 3rd doctor urged us to deliver the baby again I cried. That night we went in for an induced labor.
On December 11, 2009 at 6:55 am I gave birth to beautiful baby boy! I had no fluid during delivery. My heart felt heavy, my spirit crushed. I cried for my baby. At 9:30 they brought us our baby boy which we named after my husband and I held him in my arms as he slept peacefully with God and the angels above. He had all his features, and to me looked so much like his dad. We could see that he would have looked so much like our youngest daughter. My husband cried as he held his first born biological son in his arms. It was the most humbling, saddest moment in our lives and marriage. Our children arrived at the hospital and all held their baby brother. We talked about how he was in heaven with my granny and how she couldn’t escape babysitting one of her grandchildren. My oldest daughter was excited that he would he get to meet Michael Jackson! It was in that moment I felt peace with my decision. My heart was still heavy, but my spirit was light. We spent 3 wonderful hours with our baby boy, the hardest moment was when the nurse came to get him, and I kissed him one last time goodnight. I knew in that moment I would never hold my baby again, he wouldn’t come home with me, I wouldn’t breast feed him, he wouldn’t keep me up at night, I wouldn’t change his diaper. All these thoughts and emotions.
I decided to go home that night so that I could hold my 4 children tight in my arms. Because I realized in that moment none of them had to come home with me. They are all BLESSINGS. So that night my three babies pilled in the bed with me and my husband and we held them tight. I will never forget my baby boy. The hospital was so great, and made our moment as special as possible. We will have him cremated and we will bring his remains home with his family. We took as many pictures of our baby as we could, because we knew that would be all we had to cherish of him. So today I begin the healing process. I will talk about him because it helps me heal, I will look at his pictures and smile at how beautiful he was at only 520 grams 18 inches long! This was the hardest decision I ever had to make in my life, but I know it was the best decision for my family and my baby boy. I thank God for the time I had with him, and I thank God for showing me early on that something wasn’t right and preparing me somewhat. I thank God for giving me peace with my decision, and I am praying to God for understanding and healing.

Services provided by an electrician
An electrician is the provider of all services related to electricity. Thus, it can execute orders independently or be employed by a company providing electrical services. In addition, the electricians are employed by the administrators of the different buildings and take part in the construction of various houses and blocks of flats and public buildings. They must therefore be prepared for the fact that sometimes they have to work on Saturdays, although normally they work from Monday to Friday. They deal with the repairs plugs and electrical devices and checking the state of electrical installations. Therefore, measurement of the specific electrical services depends on their nature.
Professional electrical work
Companies providing electrical services can boast a number of advantages in comparison with the services of individual electricians. Due to the large number of projects carried out very often these companies offer us a lot cheaper electrical work. This is often one of the main reasons why customers choose to take advantage of such services. Moreover, choosing the company responsible for electricity, we expect that the people working there have the necessary qualifications to perform this difficult profession. Due to the fact that work on electricity is quite a dangerous occupation, most true professionals insure their employees, which is also beneficial for the potential customer.
Pricing electrical services
Electrical work are one of the most dangerous work done on commission. While in the case of laying cables, which are not yet hooked up to the network, the risk is minimal, whereas operations with existing electrical installations is quite a serious threat to the life and health of people undertaking such an order. It is not surprising that much of the electrical work is quite expensive for the investor. Of course, an individual valuation regarding electrical work is usually carried out on site and so on, but some rates are predetermined. Although there is considerable competition when it comes to electrical work, many investors have really big problems in finding suitably qualified staff.

The board of directors of Freddie Mac has announced that, effective June 1, 2021, Michael J. DeVito will take over as CEO. At that time, Interim CEO Mark B. Grier will resume his duties as a full-time member of Freddie Mac’s board of directors.
With more than 30 years of mortgage and financial services experience, DeVito spent more than 23 years at Wells Fargo and Company, serving most recently as EVP/Head of Home Lending, where he was responsible for all aspects of the company’s mortgage and home equity business.
“I am delighted to announce that, after an exhaustive search, the board of directors has chosen Michael DeVito as the next CEO of Freddie Mac,” said Sara Mathew, Non-Executive Chair of Freddie Mac’s board of directors. “Michael is a well-regarded leader with proven success in virtually every aspect of the mortgage industry. His background and experience make him an excellent choice to lead Freddie Mac at this time. On behalf of the board of directors, I would also like to thank Mark Grier for his leadership as Interim CEO and we are pleased that he will continue to contribute to the company as a member of the Board.”
DeVito retired last July from Wells Fargo after a 23-year stint with the company and replaced by Kristy Fercho as Head of Wells Fargo Home Lending. While at Wells Fargo, DeVito worked across the company’s Home Lending channel, including loan origination, servicing, portfolio management, secondary marketing, and risk. At various points during his tenure, he served as Head of Home Lending Production, Home Lending Servicing, Default Servicing, Loan Workout, Head of Education Financial Services, and Mortgage Retail Underwriting and Operations.
“I am honored to lead a mission-driven company with proven success in making home possible for millions of families over the past five decades,” said DeVito. “I thank the board for their confidence, and I look forward to getting to know the people and leaders who make Freddie Mac so successful. Working together, I’m certain we can continue to deliver the liquidity, stability and affordability the housing markets need while enhancing our own safety and soundness.”

When San Diego State approached CannonDesign architects to design a student union to replace the more than 40-year-old Aztec Center, it presented them with a clear goal in mind.
“A challenge that was set out for us was to create a modern, highly sustainable building: We’re going to be (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum,” project principal Craig Hamilton said. “(We had) to do that with a modern building that also is reflective of, and true to, the original California mission revival architecture of the core of the campus.”
From the beginning it was clear meeting the highest levels of sustainability was going to be an overarching goal of the new structure. To achieve that meant far-reaching decisions and careful planning that permeated the entire planning process.
“The way the LEED program is set up, by the time you get to LEED Platinum you’re not doing easy things that we as architects or the engineers would do to create a sustainable building,” Hamilton said.
The planning started with where the different groups and services would be organized within the building. Most administration and Associated Students offices were placed on the western side of the building, above the Starbucks and food services. This allowed designers to maximize daylight, using a light well to bring light down to the third and second floors. The room is also ventilated, a decision made after looking at early 1920s buildings in San Diego, at a time before air conditioning. Of course, that’s in large part possible thanks to the relatively mild San Diego weather.
Finding unique ways to maximize natural resources and conserve energy wasn’t the only design challenge Hamilton faced.
“We were working on the same site as the Aztec Center was, but with a much bigger building,” he said.
In order to expand the building without making it seem overwhelming, the designers took advantage of a key element in mission revival architecture. The style, prevalent across campus, was popular during the late 1800s and early 1900s. It was based on the architecture of the many missions dotting the Mexican northwest and American southwest, particularly California.
“We were conscious of history and tradition, but in a variety of ways,” Hamilton said. “One of them is that the architectural language harkens back to Hepner Hall and the architectural core of the campus.”
According to Hamilton, an advantage of mission revival architecture is its reliance on relatively small buildings joined together to form larger structures. Breaking the building down also made it more personal and “human scaled,” Hamilton said.
To do this, they created three separate courtyards joined by arched walkways. First is the courtyard students face walking in from the footbridge connecting campus to the residence halls. That entrance was moved to better match the bridge; in the Aztec Center students walked into a wall they then had to go around to enter campus. Now, students have the option to stay in that first courtyard, visit the main Lee and Frank Goldberg Courtyard, or the smaller three-sided courtyard on the west side, next to Starbucks. According to Hamilton, the multiple courtyards provide students with choices and variety, so they can maximize their use of the student union based on daylight, the time of year, weather and activities.
“That helps makes the scale of the building more personal and human, but also gives some variety to how people use the building,” Hamilton said.
The main courtyard turned out to be one of Hamilton’s favorite pieces of the building.
“I like the feel of the main courtyard and how it terminates the mall in the campus,” Hamilton said. “When you’re in the courtyard, with the furniture and sitting there and you look to the north, you’re up a few steps from that level, and it gives you a really nice prospect, a view that connects you back to the campus.”
On the second floor of the building is Montezuma Hall, the primary ballroom of the student union and a direct descendant of sorts of the original Montezuma Hall in the Aztec Center. However, aside from the name the two rooms don’t have much in common. While specific elements and pieces of art from the Aztec Center were incorporated into the new student union, when it came to the hall designers wanted to create something that would be memorable and unique.
“We wanted to think about the sort of grand room you might have experience in an older, traditional building,” Hamilton said. “Now, a ballroom isn’t necessarily something you’d find in a mission or mission revival architecture, but we wanted to have the room—the theater, the pre-functionary and the ballroom in particular—to have some sort of connection to the tradition of that architecture and not feel just like another hotel ballroom or a nondescript kind of thing.”
Achieving that led designers to decide to not include overhead windows, allowing users to control the acoustics and lighting of the room. They also went with terrazzo flooring, chosen because it looks elegant but is cost effective because of its durability, Hamilton said.
The planning of the student union extended beyond the visible parts most users experience. In order to keep the aspects of the services provided at the student union out of sight, there is a lower level. From there, the restaurant and services areas can be accessed through several elevators, allowing people to bring in deliveries and take out the trash without being seen by students, faculty and staff on the floors above.
Although the design and construction part of the creating the new Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union might be complete, the new occupants are not on their own. According to Hamilton, a “building commissioning” process will take place during the next year. During that, occupants will learn how to best utilize the building, and how to adjust for changing light, seasons and needs.
For Hamilton, one of the best parts comes once everything has opened and students have begun using their new campus home.
“It’ll be really interesting to see how the students on campus embrace the building and make it their own,” Hamilton said.

- Clamp and secure the rack on the crossbar by tightening the wing nuts on the saddle.
Here’s a video generalized installation guideline:
What is a cargo basket used for?
Baskets mounted on top of vehicles is helpful because it saves room inside cars and SUVs since there isn't any need for extra storage bags with these kinds of carriers available instead, this allows users to place more important cargo safely out-of-sight such as carrying groceries, camping gear and other items that need to be kept safe.

Are roof baskets worth it
A roof rack basket is a plastic or metal carrier that mounts onto the top of your car. It can hold items such as luggage, kayaks and bikes without using any part of your vehicle's interior space.
They are usually made out of aluminum or steel so they're strong enough to carry heavy objects but lightweight for easy installation with no drilling involved if you have crossbars on your car.
although there might be some cases where it may need bolts installed in order to attach properly depending upon each model's specifications which vary from brand-to-brand and models themselves making their compatibility not universal!
Additionally when carrying anything besides groceries then consider getting bungee cords since cargo nets aren't recommended because things tend to bounce around inside unless everything has straps also included already.
Can you put a cargo box on a roof basket
Vehicle weight capacity varies by make and model. Check your owner's manual or with a local dealership (using car VIN) to confirm how much total roof can handle without damaging vehicle.
Cargo must be light enough not cause damage when combined with carriers on top of the carrier base, but maximum allowable load is determined individually for each specific vehicle based upon its specifications as outlined in manufacturer guidelines.
Cargo boxes may weigh as much as 50-lbs, and a car's roof weight limit is usually around 100 lbs. This means that you should be careful about choosing cargo carriers as they can quickly use up your entire capacity of the vehicle if too heavy or large.
Can you Rent an Outdoor Roof cargo box or Baskets
absolutely! Renting a roof box or basket is an excellent option for camping trips. There are several companies that offer rentals, and they vary in price depending on the time of year and location. If you're willing to pay more money though, it's worth considering since this way equipment isn't yours so there will be no issue if something breaks down while using it!
While you certainly don't want to damage anything, more often than not everything needs insurance. This means any mistakes or broken pieces won’t fall on you to fix. Another factor that makes renting a good option is installation - some companies will offer this and make sure the everything set up properly for no extra charge!

TJ came to our home several months ago to interview me and develop a landscaping plan for our property. Our home is a walkout, with a steep grade leading down to a wooded area in the rear. I was really delighted with the plan, TJ had taken care to measure and take pictures of the property, and especially paid attention to the plants and color palette I wanted. Plans called for new beds in the front of the house, with new trees, evergreens, bushes and perennials. Beds were edged with limestone, and an unsightly utility box was obscured from view with ornamental grasses. In the back, several retaining walls were created using boulders, and beautiful limestone steps lead down the grade. Plantings around the back include hollies and hydrangea, and many perennials. Twelve additional trees were planted in the back, including redbuds, dogwoods, arborvitae, a hawthorn, a sycamore, and a Japanese red maple. The plan called for the original plants to be transplanted and incorporated so that nothing went to waste.
The crew that came and spent a week doing the work were incredible. They were truly nice guys who did a great job, and were a pleasure to work with. They answered all my questions about how to care for the plants through this winter and on an ongoing basis. By the time they were done, everything was spotless – and gorgeous!
GreenVista is a great company – I highly recommend them. A great experience start to finish!!

– Tire pressure gauge: description
– Functioning of the pneumatic pressure gauge
– The different models of tire pressure gauges
Driving with properly inflated tires is as much a matter of safety as reducing fuel consumption. That’s why you need a tire pressure gauge, also known as a tire inflator. This device allows you to check the pressure of your tires, but not only that. This post explains it all to you below.
Tire pressure gauge: description
The tire pressure gauge allows you to know quickly, by connecting it to the tire valve, the effective inflation value.
It helps you adjust the pressure of your tires, provided that you have a compressed air source like a compressor at home.
Thanks to the presence of a relief valve, it is also possible to reduce the pressure value of the tire.
Good to know: there is also another type of pressure gauge that displays the pressure value of the tire without the possibility to correct it.
How does the tire pressure gauge work?
It is a gun equipped with a trigger, which allows the passage of air under pressure to the tire.
The air arrives from the pressure source through a quick coupling standardized according to the ISO 4414 standard – and ends up in the tire to be inflated through its valve; it is a “Schrader” type valve, which has a non-return valve, locked when the pressure gauge is in place on the valve.
When the operator cuts off the air supply by releasing the trigger, the pressure in the tire is displayed on the manometer graduated in bars (pressure unit) so you can adjust it to the nominal value.
The different models of pneumatic pressure gauges
The different pressure gauges differ in:
– their reading mode: the most common are needle pressure gauges, but there are also digital pressure gauges;
– their setting: the simplest and lowest of the range are set from 0 to 4 bars. The most sophisticated and qualitative ones are set from 0 to 12 bars and are used by automotive professionals, the almost exclusive brand being Eurodainu.
First of all, here are 3 practical tips to check the pressure of your tires:
– always check your tires when they are cold;
– respect the manufacturer’s recommendations;
– add 0.1 to 0.2 bars for highway driving.
The use for which you intend to use your tire inflator will determine the criteria of choice.
Good to know: Have your pressures checked by a professional immediately after doing it yourself; you will then know how much to lower or raise the pressure later.
Tire pressure gauge for occasional use
For occasional use, mainly to check your tires, a basic pressure gauge set at 0 to 4 bars will suffice. Its average price in stores or on the internet is $30 to $40.
Beware: these pressure gauges are often not equipped with quick connectors: count $6 more per fitting.
Tire pressure gauge for heavy or regular use
For more intensive use, if you need to control high pressures (utility vehicles, farm tractors, etc.), where pressure settings are precise, opt for a professional Eurodainu-type device (0 to 12 bars).
At automotive parts and equipment distributors or websites, the average price is $80.
Attention: pressure gauges must be checked regularly, at least once a year by professionals, because their reading accuracy drifts over time.

Maltodextrin is a starch derivative commonly used as a food thickener or in beer brewing to improve mouthfeel. Typically, maltodextrin is sourced from corn, but it can also come from other starches such as wheat, rice or potato. On its own, maltodextrin is a slightly sweet, nearly flavorless white powder.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
Maltodextrin can be used in personal care products in a number of ways: as an absorbent, a binder, or a skin conditioner. In our antiperspirant products it is used as the binder which carries the olive leaf extract to our products.
HOW IS IT MADE?
The maltodextrin used by Tom’s of Maine is derived from non-GMO corn. Starch from the corn undergoes partial hydrolysis with exposure to water, heat, and enzymes to break down the starch into the polysaccharide maltodextrin. The olive leaf extract is then spray-dried onto the maltodextrin.
WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES?
Guar gum is an alternative to maltodextrin as a binder. There are also synthetic materials available, but do not meet our Stewardship Model.
IS THIS THE RIGHT OPTION FOR ME?
Maltodextrin is Generally Recognized as Safe by the Food and Drug Administration.1
Tom’s of Maine recognizes that no two people are alike, and even with naturally derived ingredients, some individuals may develop an allergic reaction that is unique to them. As with any product, be sure to discontinue use if you experience discomfort or other indications that the product may not be appropriate for your individual body chemistry.

The windows classroom consists of education and training through the Internet. This type of online teaching allows the user to interact with the material through the use of various computer tools. This new educational concept is a revolutionary training modality that enabled the Internet, and that today is positioned as the predominant form of training in the future and gets help in windows 10! Microsoft Corp. announced on May 2 a set of educational products and services, inspired by students and teachers that include a new Windows experience – that encourage creativity -, a variety of PCs with Windows 10 for primary, secondary and professional training, and the Windows 10 computer perfect for university students.
Windows 10; that is a new redesigned Windows experience with a focus on security and providing superior performance. This ensures quick access times, allowing everyone in the classroom to begin learning immediately, to concentrate, without distraction. Throughout this year, they will arrive at the Shop for Education, new experiences for the classroom, thanks to Microsoft Teams, which takes collaboration to a higher level and makes Teams the digital centre of the classroom where teachers and students will collaborate and to learn. We have a team of people who help people in finding solutions to all windows related problem like performance issues etc. They also get help in Windows 10 for you. Windows classroom as a new model of virtual education has offered many advantages, including the following:
- Greater flexibility. The windows classroom offers greater flexibility with respect to the conventional method of class in the classroom because it is not necessary to be programming every time the logistics involved in any other training activities in the company (search/reservation of appropriate premises, selection of the employees to train, hiring teachers, evaluation, etc.), but once offered a course, students can receive it in any time slot, in addition, the student can set their own learning rhythms, depending on the time available and the objectives that have been set.
- Ease of access. The fact that the employee can follow any windows classroom course, generally requiring only a terminal with an Internet connection and Internet Explorer.
- Reduction of learning times. According to empirical studies carried out for this purpose, it has been proven that learning times can be reduced between 40% and 60% if windows classroom solutions are offered.
- Increased retention. According to experimental studies, the information assimilated in windows classroom processes is retained 25% more than if conventional face-to-face training solutions are used.
- Compatibility of activities. Windows classroom is compatible with many other activities, almost simultaneously (work, leisure, etc.), because it is enough to only access the computer at any time and, on the other hand, stop the training when you want.
- Comfort. The windows classroom avoids many trips, which translates into great comfort for employees, since they are frequent trips to places far from their workplace, even having to spend the night outside the usual home.
- A possibility of immediate update of the contents of the courses. In the windows classroom courses, any modification can be incorporated at any time, and the student can access always updated information, a system that is practically unthinkable in conventional training.
- Costs reduction. Windows classroom can be up to 30% cheaper than conventional training in the classroom, from which we cannot draw the conclusion that windows classroom has to completely replace a conventional face-to-face training, since it deals with methodologies of very different learning, in such a way that they are often complimented.
- Personalized training. The windows classroom courses offer the great advantage of being personalized so that every student who identifies in the training portal will be shown on screen all that information (course offer, follow-up on their progress, etc.)
- Comprehensive monitoring of the training process. In the case of companies: a huge advantage of any windows classroom training action is the possibility of having the human resources management of general monitoring of all and each of the employees, down to the smallest detail, in the process of learning: number of times of connection as well as date and time, exercises performed, page views, degree of employee satisfaction with each course, etc.
Tom Sanders, a well-known blogger has taught technology related stuff including
Windows basics, Security issues on a PC to students, teachers and people from all walks of life. He focuses mainly on ideas that are revolutionizing business with technology.

Established in 2014, we have collaborated with hundreds of clients who are leaders in their respective fields.
We approach each project with profound care and an enduring commitment to elegant, focused design and meaningful, long-lasting client relationships.
We are currently accepting new clients and booking projects for March 2022 and beyond.
Work With Us →
Our design philosophy is one which emphasizes theory above instinct, restraint above noisiness, and longstanding principles above fleeting trends.
The primary objective of our practice is to effectively communicate the value and essence of our clients' brands in an aesthetically pleasing and consistent manner.
We believe the purpose of design is not merely to decorate or embellish.
Instead, design’s purpose should be to articulate information with confidence, character, and clarity.
We see good design in terms of style — not fashion.
We reject the culture of disposability and hold a deep respect for traditional techniques, without being close-minded to new ideas.
We have been fortunate to have collaborated with hundreds of clients who are leaders in their respective fields.
We have extensive experience working across a diverse range of industries and take great pleasure in learning the intricacies of our clients' businesses.

Facebook’s political problems stem directly from its size and drive for growth; they are societal issues, not antitrust ones.
Centralized control is useful at the beginning of an economy, but limits innovation in the long run. That is as true for China as it is for the App Store.
Clubhouse will do for audio what Twitter, Instagram Stories, and TikTok did for text, images, and video.
Facebook and Twitter represent the v1 of Social Networking; it’s a bad copy of the analog world, whereas v2 is something unique to digital, and a lot more promising.
Facebook, Google, and Twitter testified before a Senate committee: it provided evidence of how tech prefers power over decentralization, even if it means regulation
The problems Facebook are facing today are the result of running into the future without considering unintended consequences, much like Microsoft and the Internet. There are clear solutions for the ad problem, but the filter bubble issue is much more fraught.
Facebook is in trouble — again — for Russian ads about the election; figuring out how to deal with them requires first understanding that Facebook, like Google, is a Super-Aggregator. It faces zero transaction costs in all parts of its business.
Facebook gave one of the worst keynotes in a long time: there was no vision, just the adoption of Snap’s. It’s the inevitable outcome of a monopoly.
Facebook has long had too much power, but Mark Zuckerberg’s expressed willingness to use said power for political ends means it’s time to consider countermeasures.
Facebook is under fire for fake news and filter bubbles; they are a problem, but most of the proposed solutions are far worse.

We all know that Jenkins is a well-known open-source continuous integration and continuous deployment automation tool which is written in Java. In this blog, we are going to learn how Jenkins Build Triggers trigger the build of the project for continuous integration and continuous deployment.
Jenkins Build Triggers:
You can see the build triggers option in job's -> Configure setting.
These are the most common Jenkins build triggers:
- Trigger builds remotely
- Build after other projects are built
- Build periodically
- GitHub hook trigger for GITScm polling
- Poll SCM
1. Trigger builds remotely :
If you want to trigger your project built from anywhere anytime then you should select Trigger builds remotely option from the build triggers.
You’ll need to provide an authorization token in the form of a string so that only those who know it would be able to remotely trigger this project’s builds. This provides the predefined URL to invoke this trigger remotely.
predefined URL to trigger build remotely: JENKINS_URL/job/JobName/build?token=TOKEN_NAME JENKINS_URL: the IP and PORT which the Jenkins server is running TOKEN_NAME: You have provided while selecting this build trigger.
Whenever you will hit this URL from anywhere you project build will start.
2. Build after other projects are built
If your project depends on another project build then you should select Build after other projects are built option from the build triggers.
In this, you must specify the project(Job) names in the Projects to watch field section and select one of the following options:
|1. Trigger only if the build is stable |
Note: A build is stable if it was built successfully and no publisher reports it as unstable
|2. Trigger even if the build is unstable|
Note: A build is unstable if it was built successfully and one or more publishers report it unstable
|3. Trigger even if the build fails|
After that, It starts watching the specified projects in the Projects to watch section.
Whenever the build of the specified project completes (either is stable, unstable or failed according to your selected option) then this project build invokes.
If you want to schedule your project build periodically then you should select the Build periodically option from the build triggers.
You must specify the periodical duration of the project build in the scheduler field section
This field follows the syntax of cron (with minor differences). Specifically, each line consists of 5 fields separated by TAB or whitespace:
MINUTE HOUR DOM MONTH DOW
|MINUTE||Minutes within the hour (0–59)|
|HOUR||The hour of the day (0–23)|
|DOM||The day of the month (1–31)|
|MONTH||The month (1–12)|
|DOW||The day of the week (0–7) where 0 and 7 are Sunday.|
To specify multiple values for one field, the following operators are available. In the order of precedence,
*specifies all valid values
M-Nspecifies a range of values
*/Xsteps by intervals of X through the specified range or whole valid range
A,B,...,Zenumerates multiple values
# every fifteen minutes (perhaps at :07, :22, :37, :52)
H/15 * * * *
# every ten minutes in the first half of every hour (three times, perhaps at :04, :14, :24)
H(0-29)/10 * * * *
# once every two hours at 45 minutes past the hour starting at 9:45 AM and finishing at 3:45 PM every weekday.
45 9-16/2 * * 1-5
# once in every two hours slot between 9 AM and 5 PM every weekday (perhaps at 10:38 AM, 12:38 PM, 2:38 PM, 4:38 PM)
H H(9-16)/2 * * 1-5
# once a day on the 1st and 15th of every month except December
H H 1,15 1-11 *
After successfully scheduled the project build then the scheduler will invoke the build periodically according to your specified duration.
GitHub webhook trigger for GITScm polling:
A webhook is an HTTP callback, an HTTP POST that occurs when something happens through a simple event-notification via HTTP POST.
GitHub webhooks in Jenkins are used to trigger the build whenever a developer commits something to the branch.
Let’s see how to add build a webhook in GitHub and then add this webhook in Jenkins.
- Go to your project repository.
- Go to “settings” in the right corner.
- Click on “webhooks.”
- Click “Add webhooks.”
- Write the Payload URL as
http://e330c73d.ngrok.io/github-webhook //This URL is a public URL where the Jenkins server is running
Here https://e330c73d.ngrok.io/ is the IP and port where my Jenkins is running.
If you are running Jenkins on localhost then writing
https://localhost:8080/github-webhook/ will not work because Webhooks can only work with the public IP.
So if you want to make your localhost:8080 expose public then we can use some tools.
In this example, we used ngrok tool to expose my local address to the public.
To know more on how to add webhook in Jenkins pipeline, visit: https://blog.knoldus.com/opsinit-adding-a-github-webhook-in-jenkins-pipeline/
Poll SCM periodically polls the SCM to check whether changes were made (i.e. new commits) and builds the project if new commits were pushed since the last build.
You must schedule the polling duration in the scheduler field. Like we explained above in the Build periodically section. You can see the Build periodically section to know how to schedule.
After successfully scheduled, the scheduler polls the SCM according to your specified duration in scheduler field and builds the project if new commits were pushed since the last build.
Thank you for sticking to the end. If you like this blog, please do show your appreciation by giving thumbs ups and share this blog and give me suggestions on how I can improve my future posts to suit your needs. Follow me to get updates on different technologies

In the past decade there has been increased awareness of human’s impact on the environment resulting in subsequent changes in behavior — from our modes of transportation and businesses we support to the food that we eat. In turn, plant based diets — whether flexitarian, vegan or vegetarian — have grown in popularity. Moving towards a more plant based diet means a partial or full departure from animal products which are a main source of protein for many. Never fear! By making the switch to whole grains, you can get a protein boost at each and every meal of the day. In fact, a serving of whole grains can have as much protein as a hard-boiled egg. We’ve put together a quick cheat sheet to protein, the whole grains that contribute to protein intake along with some of our favorite recipes!
What is a protein?
Proteins are essential for the regulation and functioning of our tissues and organs. They play a main role in maintaining muscles and bones, as well as immune system support. Proteins are made up of different combinations of 20 amino acids. Nine of these amino acids cannot be made in the body, so must be consumed through the food we eat. These nine are known as essential amino acids.
Protein quality refers to the proportions of these nine essential amino acids in a food source, as well as the food’s digestibility — so it’s not always quantity of protein in a product, its the quality! It is also important to consider what other nutrients are you consuming with your protein source. Saturated fat and sodium? Or fiber and healthy fats?
Protein Packed Whole Grains
Although whole grains are primarily a source of carbohydrates in the diet, they do contain small amounts of protein and healthy fats. In fact, whole grains have protein content that would surprise most people, and when eaten in conjunction with other plant based proteins, like legumes, give the body the amino acids necessary for functionality.
Amaranth boasts an impressive nutrient resume, and like other pseudocereals, is a protein powerhouse. It is a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids and at 14% protein contains close to double the amount found in brown rice and corn. In fact, researchers in Guatemala found it to be one of the most nutritious plant-based proteins. The benefits of amaranth’s protein do not stop there – amaranth also contains lunasin, a peptide believed to have anti-inflammatory and cancer-preventive benefits.
Another pseudocereal, quinoa is a complete protein offering all nine of the essential amino acids in a healthy balance. Quinoa’s germ (where the majority of protein is found) makes up about 60% of the grain! For comparison, wheat germ comprises less than 3% of a wheat kernel.
Wheat, and its ancient counterparts, contain 13% protein, which is among the highest for whole grains. Wheat is estimated to provide 20% of daily food calories globally, so although it is not a complete protein, its prominence as a global food source means that whole wheat can help make a considerable impact on protein intake.
Do you have a favorite plant based dish that features a protein rich grain? Share below! (Abby)

Be careful what you ask for.
I recently received another cosmic whap upside the head.
I’d been struggling to set up a new freestanding microphone I bought. I was so creative in coming up with different ways to put this task on my To Do list:
- play with mic
- email tech support
- try tech support’s suggestions
- email tech support…
You get the idea.
Nothing was working, and I was getting more than a little frustrated. I didn’t give up, since I know persistence is a prerequisite for success – but I changed my focus.
The next time I put on this task on my To Do list, I listed the result I really wanted: Get mic working.
And in about 10 minutes, I did.
Here’s the fascinating and powerful lesson I was reminded of:
It’s much easier to create the outcome you want when you’re crystal clear what that is and you’re committed to making it happen.
What’s been your experience? Are you wishing for good results rather than committing to them? Are you vague in stating your goals? Or do you know exactly what result you want and what you’re willing to do to get it?
Stumbling blocks are inevitable, so we get to continue developing strategies for dealing with them. If you’ve come up with one that works especially well for you, please share. There’s no such thing as “too many good tools for creating a successful life.”
And, if you’re huffing and puffing over your own challenging To Do list, here’s one of those tools: Your To Do List Is Not the Boss of You! Time Management Skills and Strategies That Will Work in YOUR Small Business. In less than an hour, you’ll find some gems that will put control of your day back where it belongs — in your hands.
(BTW, thanks to Bonnie Pierce for posting the image of Barbara O’Connor’s book cover in the Creative Commons section of Flickr.)This entry was posted in goal setting and tagged focus. Bookmark the permalink.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 300,000 motorists choose to drink and drive each day. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), reports that an average of 10,000 people lose their lives on America’s highways each year as a result of DUI crashes – one every 48 minutes. In fact, an average of one in three motorists involved in crashes was found to be intoxicated and 42% of those killed in crashes tested positive for drugs. Driving impaired is clearly never a good idea. With statistics this grim, you’re probably wondering which holiday has the most DUI crashes so you can take action to stay safer on the road.

How to Decide on Offshoring vs Outsourcing to Scale Your Business
| January 2, 2019
At times, these two terms are used synonymously, while other times they’re pitted against each other as if one strategy is objectively better than the other. Well, they’re not synonyms, nor are they opposing business models; offshoring and outsourcing are two distinct but related terms.
Outsourcing isn’t anything new, in fact, it is a strategy that has been around since the dawn of commerce. It is essentially a cost-saving business strategy that transfers internally sourced services and responsibilities to a third party.
A business that specializes in chocolate candy, for example, can outsource milk production to a nearby supplier; eliminating the need to construct and maintain an internal dairy farm.
Offshoring, on the other hand, deals with location, or to be more specific: the process of moving business functions, offshore. It is a strategy that has only recently gained traction because it relies heavily on cheap and reliable, long-distance telecommunications.
There are two prominent offshore business models: captive offshoring and offshore outsourcing.
If a chocolate candy company outsources milk production to an overseas supplier, then that process is called offshore outsourcing.
In this model of offshoring, the main company has very little involvement with the offshore unit. The only means of control that the client company has is the Service Level Agreement (SLA), which states the services that the third-party company must provide.
Most of the semantic confusion around offshoring stems from the conflation of outsourcing and offshore outsourcing. In most contemporary business discussions, the term outsourcing is thrown around a lot, without specification. The term could pertain to either domestic or offshore outsourcing and yet it’s mostly used as a substitute term for the latter.
Captive offshoring is the process of establishing a foreign subsidiary in an offshore location. This means that the offshore unit is still part of the company despite its distance from the headquarters.
In this model, the offshore staff is an extension of the main company’s workforce, hence the main company has direct administrative control over the unit as well as having a hand in the recruitment process.
Captive Offshoring vs Offshore Outsourcing: The Correct Comparison
Taking advantage of offshore services can result in numerous benefits, which include: tax reductions, increased efficiency, access to international talent, and access to more profitable business environments.
Choosing the correct model for your company is vital to the maximization of the benefits that this strategy offers. However, finding out which offshore model is objectively better, is a near-impossible task. This is why the next best thing is to pinpoint the specific situations that each business model shines.
Ideal Conditions for Offshore Outsourcing
Offshore outsourcing is the ideal model when there isn’t much work to be offshored. SLAs work best when they are clear and simple. These agreements are the only means of quality control that a client company has in terms of offshore outsourcing, which is why everything hinges on their flawless execution.
The outsourcing model also works well for companies that are following a tight schedule since it can be implemented relatively quickly. Since this model engages the services of already established third-party providers, the costs of the initial set-up are minor compared to the alternative model.
Finally, this model is quite suitable for temporary set-ups thanks to how easy it is to include a termination clause in the contract; allowing companies to shut down their offshore units without paying severance fees and other infrastructure expenses.
Ideal Conditions for Captive Offshoring
Captive Offshoring is perfect for companies with established systems and valuable Intellectual Property (IP). Having direct control over the offshore unit gives the client company complete transparency and the ability to conduct regular internal audits.
This offshoring model is quite effective in preventing leaks in confidential information. This is due to the fact that no third party is involved with captive offshoring, with the offshore company acting as an extension of the client company.
In addition, the increased administrative control allows for the containment of classified information within the upper management, making this model suitable for companies that require high security.
Businesses that have tried and tested processes can flourish using captive offshoring because the offshore unit functions as if it were a local branch through the use of this offshore model. The client company even has direct control over staff recruitment and training, further stabilizing the offshore operations.

First you need to prep the corn tortillas. You want to fry them in oil for 3 seconds on each side. Put them on a plate to cool. It's easier to prep all of the corn tortillas first and then assemble.
It won't take long to get them fried.
Now the layering! The tortillas may not cover the bottom perfectly so you may have to cut them in half to get them to fit.
Once the bottom is covered add the sauce. You can see I used two whole tortillas and two half pieces.
Add a layer of cheese and repeat!
The last layer should be cheese. I like to put lots of cheese on top to give it a nice crust. At this point you can cover with foil and freeze them.
Set the oven to 350 and bake for 45 minutes or until the cheese is melted and has formed a delicious crust!
Now serve with lettuce and onions on top and beans on the side. Doesn't it look delicious?? Yum!
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy! :)

As our aging population grows, nurses are continuing to see more instances of tough-to-manage skin breakdown due to incontinence. Skin damage associated with urine and/or fecal exposure, otherwise known as incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD), is a resource-intensive condition that can be very painful for patients. To help combat this debilitating problem, 3M introduces its revolutionary 3M™ Cavilon™ Advanced Skin Protectant, a high endurance skin protectant designed to stop, reverse and prevent the damaging effects of moderate to severe IAD. The new skin protectant provides clinicians with an easier, more effective way to manage patients with IAD to help improve their quality of life and overall patient experience.
“Moisture barriers used today to prevent and manage IAD are outdated and have significant limitations that impact their clinical effectiveness. The introduction of 3M Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant, a game-changing barrier technology, represents an exciting leap forward for patients suffering with IAD,” said Todd Fruchterman, MD, PhD, Vice President and General Manager for the 3M Critical & Chronic Care Solutions Division. “Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant delivers compelling clinical and infection control benefits, while offering greater comfort and protection to patients, and giving institutions and nurses a more economical way to deliver effective and compassionate care.”
Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant has several benefits that will help reshape the standard of care for patients with IAD and other types of severe skin damage. These include:
Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant is effective for those at risk of developing IAD and in conditions where skin is frequently or continuously exposed to moisture and caustic irritants such as diarrhea, digestive fluids, wound drainage and urine. It creates an effective, long-lasting barrier on both intact and wet, weeping skin. The high endurance skin protectant is breathable and comfortable through application, wear and cleansing processes. Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant also helps reduce the risks that contribute to pressure ulcers/injuries.
Removal and reapplication of traditional pastes and ointments to manage IAD can be painful for patients and time-consuming for nursing staff. Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant provides an effective barrier for up to seven days and wears away naturally. This unique barrier not only saves staff time, but also helps create a healing environment for damaged skin.
The easy-to-use, single-use applicator makes application faster and easier for nurses. It allows for easy cleansing between applications, where nurses can simply remove stool or other soil without disturbing the film or skin. The transparent barrier also provides easy visualization of the underlying skin, making it easier for nurses to monitor the condition. The single-use applicator also helps avoid potential contamination associated with multi-use tubes, thus providing benefits for infection control.
The Cavilon brand has long been synonymous with utilizing novel polymer chemistry to develop solutions for skin protection and to aid in maintaining skin integrity. Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant continues with that tradition and features unique chemistry that achieves elasticity of the polymer system, assuring great barrier integrity and durability. 3M’s polymer-cyanoacrylate system enables the barrier to flex and stretch with the skin and aid in creating a healing environment for even the most damaged skin. The liquid is non-stinging and the protective film coating reduces pain and suffering associated with IAD.
“IAD is such a challenging condition for clinicians to manage due to the frequency of incontinence episodes and the caustic irritants that damage the skin,” shared Bob Asmus, lead scientist for Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant. “We saw the need for a barrier which could adhere to moist, weepy skin and provide protection from severe incontinence while providing a protective environment for the skin to heal and reducing pain and discomfort to the patient.”

Dinah’s vs. Pann’s — which will rule the roost?
By Richard Foss (firstname.lastname@example.org)
I can imagine a conversation between two people who are fans of a certain Southern delicacy:
“Let’s go to that place in Westchester that is famous for fried chicken.”
“You know, the one that has been there since the ‘50s and still has the Mid-Century architecture and neon.”
“The one by the corner at Centinela.”
As surprising as it may seem, there are indeed two restaurants that fit each of those parameters. Pann’s Restaurant opened in 1958, Dinah’s Family Restaurant in 1959. And though both have wide-ranging menus, on any given evening you will see lots of diners with plates of fried chicken.
As a dedicated fan of breaded bird, I decided a smackdown was in order.
First, let’s look at Pann’s. It’s always the 1950s inside the goofy looking building at the corner of La Tijera and Centinela, and Doo-Wop and jangling guitars alternate at moderate volume. The restaurant is spotlessly clean, and the staff seems to take pride in the place.
The half-chicken dinner includes your choice of two sides and either biscuits or cornbread, and you can get soup or a dinner salad for two bucks extra. I usually get a salad with the house-made blue cheese dressing, cornbread and sides of collard greens and a baked potato or roasted yams. As those sides will tell you, there’s a distinct Southern influence on the menu here.
You will have a while to enjoy that soup or salad, because the chicken is breaded and fried
to order. It arrives too hot to eat, so I usually put it on top of a napkin to catch any stray grease while I do some serious damage to my side items. The wing and leg cool fastest, so I get every bit of meat off those before turning to the thigh. The breast sometimes comes home for the next day’s lunch.
The breading on the chicken is slightly crisp, and it has a dash of pepper and herbs that add interest. The batter isn’t as crunchy as the version served at Honey’s Kettle in Culver City, another vital outpost for fried chicken fanatics, but it is less oily and more flavorful.
A half chicken here runs $14.88 including tax and smaller portions are available, making this one of the rare places where you can get a great full meal for less than $20. But bring along a few bucks more, because these servers are nice and deserve the tips.
And now to Dinah’s. The interior has been updated slightly but still has novelty touches, including light fixtures that look like flying saucers landing. The staff is generally younger and more businesslike, and as a consequence service is quick.
Here the fried chicken is available with or without the skin and is served with a choice of two sides from a list that’s more coffee shop than Southern. I’d recommend the baked potato or rice pilaf and either creamed or fresh spinach; a biscuit and slice of banana bread automatically come with the meal. Soup or salad is extra, and I recommend the chicken gumbo with okra — it isn’t highly spiced but has character.
On my recent visit I was only partway through the bowl of soup when the chicken arrived — it had obviously not been made to order. The skin wasn’t crisp and it was slightly oiler than the chicken at Pann’s, though the batter did have a bit more spiciness. I had asked for dark meat and got a leg, wing and breast (and yes, a breast isn’t dark meat, but it was still good). The biscuit was doughy rather than flaky and not to my liking, the banana bread flavorful but dense.
A chicken dinner at Dinah’s runs $16.50, and it’s five bucks extra for soup or a salad. They offer all-you-can-eat specials for $14 on Mondays and Thursdays, so if you want to see how much chicken a human stomach can hold those are the nights to stop in. They go through a lot of it on those nights, so it’s more likely to be hot from the fryer rather than the heat lamp.
If you have some time and like your fried chicken fresh from the fryer, go to Pann’s; but if you’re on a quick break, Dinah’s is a reliable choice.
Both are havens for those who enjoy classic dining on a budget, and both seem likely to stick around for another five decades.
What’s your verdict? Email email@example.com to tell us which you think is better. Don’t be shy about what makes you a fried chicken expert and how you’ve paid your chicken-tasting dues!

Even though it has only been gone since February of this year, we dearly miss the iconic ALABAMA Theatre sign on 3rd Avenue North.
Well, today, September 23, 2019, the first day of Fall, it is back.
Bham Now captured on video this morning, the final A and L being attached to the iconic ALABAMA sign.
A little bit old and a little bit new
According to Larry Donaldson, a Birmingham Landmarks, Inc. board member and organ crew chief, the newly restored ALABAMA sign on 3rd Avenue North has a little bit of the 1957 sign and new and improved 2019 parts.
For example the red border on the sign is from the 1957 sign.
The green on the sign was steel. It has now been replaced with aluminum making the sign much lighter and safer.
The structural steel that held the sign has been replaced with new steel.
The letters were replaced in 2018, so of course they remain.
And finally, the neon has been replaced with LED lights. How many LED light bulbs are contained in the sign…. 960 per side, a total of 1920.
“The new LED is all around the letters plus going down the center. It is going to likely double the brightness than the one on 18th street – which it should be,” stated Donaldson.
“The blade sign at the Alabama Theatre is iconic, not just in Birmingham but in the state,” added Glenny Brock, Outreach Coordinator for Birmingham Landmarks, Inc. “Whenever anyone does a story about anything happening in Alabama, many times the visual they use is the Alabama Theatre sign. It is iconic and we are very proud of it. The Alabama Theatre is the anchor of the Theatre District.”
More restoration work inside
Along with a newly restored sign Brock also outlined additional renovations occurring at the Alabama Theatre.
- Completely re-doing the backstage area to make it more attractive and comfortable for touring artists and musicians from all over the world.
- Putting in new carpet throughout the theatre.
- Enhancing the sound and lighting system.
- Adding 20 toilets to the women’s lounge downstairs. For 92 years there have only been 5 toilets in the women’s lounge!
More than preservation, a working venue
“We have never done preservation for preservation’s sake,” concluded Brock. “We have done preservation to make these working venues. The mission of Birmingham Landmarks is to preserve and protect these two theatres and historic buildings for the use and enjoyment of Alabama citizens and their descendents. We take that mission very seriously. This is not a fancy museum piece, we are making a vibrant anchor for this community.”

Creating class books is something I remember doing as a child in school. We would all contribute a page by drawing and writing. Every member of the class had something to put in and our book would be displayed proudly in the classroom library. Do you remember those kinds of activities too?
They were very manual tasks, with a lot of potential for practising literacy skills but gave so much pride in our work too! The sense of a real audience for our class book was so motivating.
The problem was, we only ever made 1 book and if you wanted to show it anyone, they had to come in to the library. What if your class book could be shared in an unlimited capacity, to anyone, anywhere?
It’s now possible with Pages book templates and creation tools.
Pages is a free app from Apple for your iPad and to make a class book, you only need 1 iPad! This is great first activity for book making in an early years classroom, where each child can add their own page to the class book.
Make Your Mark on the World!
I’ve linked this activity to International Dot Day, a festival where young children celebrate both their creativity and their positive contribution to the world. But this activity can work as an ‘All About Me’ activity without having read the book ‘The Dot’ by Peter H. Reynolds (but I strongly recommend that book as it’s brilliant!)
I’ve created introduction pages at the start of the book to guide you through the activity and what work might look like. To add content to the page, children simply tap the + top on the top right of the screen. Here they can select to use the drawing tools, add voice recordings and open the camera to snap a selfie. The beauty of the camera means that this book is not necessarily a digital only tool. Making use of the camera means that children can add photographs from their classroom, of their creations or from their local area.
Young Children Can Create.
The possibility of book creation with young children has always been endless, and this activity further enhances this experience. Children are using technology at home more than ever before and they are exposed to cameras in almost any gadget they pick up. It is our responsibility to teach children how to create with technology as their use at home is different to their use at school.
At home, children (and adults) are using technology to consume more information than creating their own work. This isn’t necessarily a problem, we all enjoy watching our favourite TV show, listening to music and playing games. It is the balance of consuming versus creating that makes it a potential problem.
Introduce your young learners to book creation with Pages and you can start to teach them how to make other choices on their devices at home. What if you were to set a home project where children create digital books about home once you’ve taught these skills? Imagine the rich experience of bringing video, sound a photographs from their home in to school to share!
Get Started With Book Creation.
To start creating your class book for International Dot Day you can download my free book template here.

Safe buying advice
Trade Me has dedicated Customer Support and Trust and Safety teams who carefully monitor and swiftly remove inappropriate listings.
You can help us keep Trade Me a safe place to buy and sell by reporting any suspicious listings.
Safe buying tips
- Always read the item description carefully. If the photos and description look like they've been borrowed from another site, research the item and pricing before you bid.
- Check the seller's feedback history. If the seller has a lot of recent negative or neutral feedback, you may want to reconsider bidding on or buying the item.
- If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Make sure you understand the postage costs before bidding, and never pay into an overseas bank account or via Western Union.
- Beware of fake or pirated goods. Counterfeit items, such as handbags, jewellery and clothing, or unauthorised items such as copies of software, games, music or movies, are illegal and not permitted on Trade Me. If you see a listing that looks suspicious, please report it.
- Never send money overseas. Most sellers on Trade Me are located in New Zealand, or hold a NZ bank account if located in Australia. Trade Me approves certain international members and those members only ever use Ping. Never use a money transfer service to send money overseas.
- Always complete the sale on Trade Me. Contacting buyers or sellers outside of the auction process can be unsafe. Make sure you always correspond with the email address we provide once the auction's closed.
- Get a phone number. If you are the winning bidder on a higher value item, ask the seller for a phone number in case you need to call them.
- Keep all payment details and emails exchanged with the seller. These details will help us locate the seller if things go wrong.
Examples of suspicious behaviour
If you notice any of the below examples, please contact us immediately.
- Request from the seller to complete the trade offsite.
- Request from the seller that the buyer pay into an overseas bank account, or via funds transfer (e.g. Western Union).
- Item photos and description are directly lifted from another website.
- Multiple memberships are created to push the bidding up (known as 'shilling').
- A low bid is placed, and then a second person places a much higher bid which is withdrawn at the last minute so the low bid wins (known as 'bid shielding').
Identifying scam emails
Read our advice on spotting and dealing with phishing emails and spoof websites.
Most problems are the result of either poor communication or differing expectations between the buyer and the seller.
Stay in contact with the seller and make sure you understand when to expect delivery. Sellers will typically wait for payment to clear before shipping goods, which can take a couple of days or longer on weekends and public holidays. Delivery itself can reasonably take another 2-4 business days meaning a possibility of seven days or more between paying and receiving goods.
Frequently buyers and sellers may not be receiving one another's emails due to spam filters or email filtering. Check your junk or bulk email folders.
If you have checked your spam filters and are having trouble contacting the other member, please contact us for help.
If you have paid and you still can't contact the seller after several days, or think you are the victim of fraud, please contact us immediately.
The vast majority of problems reported to us resolve themselves through good communication and patience. So be patient, use your common sense, and happy trading.
Stay safe with our tips and examples of suspicious behaviour to be aware of.

Last week, New York City’s re-shuttering of schools reinforced what we have known since late spring: our political leaders prioritized the opening of bars and gyms over schools, leaving teachers and working families to take the hit. While we hear of a few school systems that have returned to hybrid education in ways that are giving educators choice and agency over their professional lives and their health, in most large urban school districts the plan has been, to put it bluntly, a mess.
Every educator I have spoken with misses being with their students in real time, and tells me about the feelings of isolation they experience teaching online—the energy of a classroom is irreplaceable. But a few of our emerging leaders tell me that the pandemic has given them the unexpected opportunity to take new creative risks that would not have been possible in the rush and tumble of “regular” school. In a counterintuitive way, the restraints of the current moment have created conditions in which creativity can thrive.
Katie, a 10th grade ELA inclusion teacher at the Mary Lyon Pilot High School in Boston, has introduced Henrietta Lacks in her curriculum. In the 1950s, Lacks, a Black woman, was diagnosed with cervical cancer, and her cells (taken without her consent)—termed HeLa cells—have been instrumental in furthering medical research. Her students are discussing the systemic racism pervasive in science that veils the real story of Lacks and her family. To complement this unit, Katie is trying to schedule a scientist who actually has worked with HeLa cells to make a virtual visit to her classroom so that her students can continue this dialogue with a professional (and a fresh face!) working in the field. “I’ve never seen my students so excited to meet a scientist before. They have so many questions.” Even though Katie has struggled with some students who have yet to turn on their video this year, she is emboldened by the opportunity to meet one-on-one with other students through office hours, which in the fast and crammed pace of in person school is often non existent.
Kareem, a Math teacher at Putnam Avenue Upper School in Cambridge, tells me that he doesn’t think he’ll ever teach math without digital tools again. “For me, paper is out… I love how much control my students have over their own learning while working on their Chromebooks which everyone has. Equations are coming alive for them in ways that I hadn’t seen possible before because of the digital programs I can now give them access to. I tried my first long term project in math and it actually went well.”
I am proud that Katie and Kareem are alums of the Perrone-Sizer Institute for Creative Leadership (PSi). They are working alongside other teachers whom they are coaching to think in new ways about teaching and learning. While certainly digital learning cannot be mistaken for nirvana, Katie and Kareem are using muscles they developed in PSi to be creative leaders who assess and leverage community resources for the benefit of their students; who strategically and gracefully improvise; who use an iterative process to hone in on quality over quantity; and who critique in the artist’s sense of the word, giving critical feedback, free of worries about how it will be judged.
Now more than ever, we need leaders who think differently.. Some say this forced rush to technology will improve education. I have certainly always advocated for “doing school differently,” and there are many useful things to learn in the face of this challenge, as Katie and Kareem can attest. Still, evidence of the disadvantages are mounting.
Principals have become crisis center managers: they meet with faculty who feel overwhelmed and ineffective despite years of classroom experience, and then they hop into their cars to deliver meals to students and families—all while fielding a daily barrage of new mandates as districts try to figure out how to move forward. Middle and high school teachers tell me about the profound sense of disconnect stemming from “teaching into little black boxes” created by students who choose to keep their cameras off. Elementary school teachers talk about trying to engage young students who are participating from their bedrooms, vying for quiet space and screen time with siblings, caregivers, and cats who love warm keyboards. “Zoom fatigue” is setting in for everyone.
We are all doing our best, but education is difficult and lonely work for adults and students alike right now. The fissures caused by inequity that were already present in American public education are becoming schisms in this pandemic. The ruthless focus on high stakes testing that remains, even in this context, lacks the creativity and compassion that our communities need to move forward together.
Still, I have hope, and I am, as I have always been, energized by the work our teachers and leaders are doing. Each year, I’m honored that PSi affords me the opportunity to work with emerging leaders from schools throughout the region. Teaching and learning happen best when we are in a supportive community with one another. I’m still connected to so many of the educators and leaders I have worked with over the years, and through my writing, I want you to be connected to them as well—because no leader will make it through this crisis alone.Katie and Kareem sharing stories with PSi Cohort 4

New Laws Leaving Small Business Owners Angry, Unless Properly Guided
New tax legislation has SME’s and small business owners up in arms over what these new laws will mean to their business. As such, 99FM’s MYD Smart sat down with Tax experts, Stefan Hugo and Chantell Husselmann from PwC Namibia to find out what the new legislation means to SME’s and small business owners and how they can best prepare for these new laws.
99FM’s MYD Smart asked :
What does the amending tax legislation currently before Parliament mean to SME’s and small business owners and how will the legislation impact on their businesses?
“Amendments to the Value-added Tax Act, Act No. 10 of 2000 (“the VAT Act”) as well as the Income Tax Act, Act No. 24 of 1981, respectively have been proposed in the National Assembly of Namibia. The passing of the Amendment Bills, which sets out the proposed amendments, is at an advanced stage with final approval being foreseen early next month (October 2015).
We shall concentrate on the Income Tax Amendments first in so far as it influence SMEs in Namibia.”
Income Tax amendments 2015:
Definition of “Namibia” inserted
“A very important change to the interpretation of the Income Tax Act, which has been foreseen for a long time, is the applicability of the Income Tax Act in a geographical sense. For the first time since Independence the term “Namibia” has now been defined to bring it in line with for instance the VAT Act and the Customs and Excise Act, 1998.
In general, this means that the narrow interpretation of income tax laws only applicable up to 12 nautical miles (“the territorial sea”) from Namibia’s coastline, falls away and will be replaced with the wider interpretation, i.e. including the exclusive economic zone (up to 200 nautical miles) as well as the continental shelf over which Namibia exercises sovereign rights.
This will have a significant impact on fishing and oil exploration companies operating beyond 12 nautical miles from the Namibian coastline. Similarly smaller companies or SMEs earning income from sources up to 200 nautical miles (and beyond ), which will now become taxable in Namibia.
Existing companies and SMEs should declare income derived from the larger territory as defined in the new definition of “Namibia” once the amendments to the Income Tax Act has become enforceable.”
Lowering of withholding tax rate from 25% to 10%
“A second amendment being proposed, and which we welcome, is the reduction of withholding tax rate on services to Namibian entities by non-resident suppliers from 25% to 10%. Definitions of “resident person” and “non-resident” persons have also been widened to include for instance a branch of a company in Namibia or a trust. The date for liability withholding tax towards Inland Revenue Namibia has also been clarified to mean the effective date of payment to the non-resident supplier to address different interpretation issues as to when the services were rendered or imported into Namibia.
SMEs should therefore take note of this amendment and pay over 10% of the invoice amount charged by a foreign supplier of certain services as withholding tax to the Namibian tax office.
If not yet registered for withholding tax, SMEs in this position will be obliged to declare withholding tax and pay this tax to Inland Revenue.”
VAT amendments 2015
Raising of VAT registration threshold to N$500 000
“As announced a few times over the past 2 or 3 years, the VAT registration threshold for persons who supplies goods and services to other persons will be increased from N$200 000 to N$500 000.
This means that if a business earns income from supplying goods and services which will exceed N$500 000 in a year (or on a monthly basis about N$42 000) , that business should register for VAT in Namibia.
Failure to register for VAT can have serious consequences for the owner of a business if found out by Inland Revenue.
The Receiver of Revenue may assess you on past transactions and deny any input tax which you could have claimed had you been registered for VAT. Penalties and interest will also be calculated and must be paid on any output VAT not declared and paid to Inland Revenue due to the failure to register for VAT.
On the other hand, if you were registered previously registered for VAT under the N$200 000 threshold regime, and does not have an income exceeding N$500 000 from VAT supplies, you will be obliged to deregister for VAT. This means that you would not be able to claim any input tax anymore and may not charge VAT to clients. Any assets on hand at the time of deregistration must be declared to Inland Revenue at VAT paid on their market values.”
Voluntary VAT registration
“Previously there existed different interpretations to the VAT Act with regard to voluntary VAT registration.
One should at least have foreseen that taxable supplies will be made and approach the Receiver of Revenue for voluntary VAT registration, even if it was not certain that taxable supplies exceeding N$200 000 in any 12 month period, in fact will be made.
The VAT Amendment Bill, 2015 provides that a person who will be making at least N$200 000 in taxable supplies, may approach Inland Revenue for VAT registration. This means that once registered, output VAT should be charged to customers and paid over every two months to Inland Revenue. It also has the benefit that any supplies made to you and for which you have a proper tax invoice, may be deducted from the output tax payable.
The same principles as set out above under “Raising of VAT registration threshold to N$500 000” however, will apply when your taxable supplies fall below the N$200 000 threshold in which case you should apply for deregistration and pay output tax on assets on hand at time of deregistration at their market value, to Inland Revenue.
It will also mean that once deregistered, you will not be claim any input tax on supplies made to you but on the other hand you will not be required to charge VAT to clients anymore.”
Introduction of security for import VAT account holders
The VAT Bill, 2015 makes provision that the Commissioner for Inland Revenue may by notice require from import VAT account holders to provides sufficient security for the import VAT liability deferred per the import VAT account number (ending on -016) of importers.
It also provides that no import may be allowed to be cleared at Customs Namibia at the point of entry, unless this security has been put in place.
Although further information is not available at this stage, we understand that Inland Revenue and Customs Namibia will consult further on this to agree on the procedures to be applied in this regard.”
What advice do you have for SME’s and small business owners to become compliant with the law?
“Firstly, if in any doubt as to the effects of the amending legislation, the seeking of professional advice and more information is important to find yourself in a situation where Inland Revenue will enforce the tax laws even if you did not fully understand them. The rule is that if a law is published in the Government Gazette, all citizens are deemed to have notice of it and must comply as spelled out in the published law.”
Income tax amendments
Wider application of Income Tax Act
“Fishing companies and marine exploration companies should note the income tax net has been thrown wider to include the exclusive economic zone (“EEZ”) of Namibia (200 nautical miles) and even beyond to the continental shelf over which Namibia exercises its sovereign rights.
Where is was not required to declare income derived beyond the territorial sea (12 nautical miles), the Income Tax Act has been made applicable, as with the VAT Act and Customs and Excise Act, to include the EEZ and the continental shelf.
If you have operations or intend to have operations which will extend beyond the 12 nautical miles from the coastline of Namibia, you should include income derived from the larger territory in your tax returns.”
Lowering of the withholding tax rate from 25% to 10%
“If services are rendered from outside Namibia to a business, that business should register for withholding tax and pay over the withholding tax at the rate of 10% on the invoice by the non-resident to Inland Revenue.
A special number will be given to you if you register and the correct return with all the particulars of the services rendered by a foreign entity must be submitted with the payment.
Non-compliance with this will lead to penalties and interest being assessed by Inland Revenue.
It must be noted that you do not specifiy on your payment terms to the foreign supplier that the withholding tax will be charged separately, you should pay this tax from own funds. This means you cannot recover it by law from the foreign supplier.
The Income Tax Act will also be amended to make it clear that the due date payment of withholding tax is linked to the date you make payment to the supplier, i.e. not the date the services were imported. This is to avoid any difficulties from an administrative point of view based on different interpretations.”
How can an SME or small business owner capitalise on these new laws in their business?
“It is of course not wise to structure your business around any tax and see how one can benefit from the introduction of a tax. However, it is suggested that you obtain professional advice and information as how to ensure that you pay the correct tax over to Inland Revenue.
The benefits of VAT registration has been spelled out above and with regard to income tax, it would be wise to comply with payment of the taxes, due dates for filing returns.
Should you however think that you have to structure your business properly to not only comply with the law but also ensure that you obtain tax savings legitimately, it is strongly suggested that you approach a professional tax consulting firm for proper advice. Each business is different and a standard solution is not possible for SMEs to capitalize on tax amendments.”
Anything else SME’s or small business owners need to know about the new laws?
“The VAT Amendment Bill has gone through the necessary stages at the Namibian Parliament and it will be signed very soon by the State President where after it will be published officially in the Government Gazette of Namibia.
Once published, the effective date of entry into force is from the first day of the month following the date of publication, i.e. if it is published during October 2015, it will be enforced as from 1 November 2015.
The Income Tax Bill follows shortly on the VAT Bill and should be ready for signature by the State President in the very near future also. Once signed and published in the official Government Gazette of Namibia, the provisions embodied in the Act will commence on the date of publication. With regard to corporate tax being lowered from 33% to 32%, it will commence at the beginning of the year of assessment of a company on or before 1 January 2015.”

Where do you start?
I always tell my clients to look through magazines, look at pinterest and other sites for bedroom designs that inspire you. Try and pull at least 10 different bedroom pictures because as you look at them, there are always common threads. This will assist you in deciding what style you like best. As you can see there are many directions to go.
Decide your budget. There are a lot creative ways to stay in budget, but keep in mind to invest with the pieces that matter the most.
Get a feel for the space of your room. Can the room fit a king size bed with two nightstands or would it make more sense to use a queen size bed?
If the size of the space mandates where the furniture goes, think about the pieces strategically. For example, if a bed has to go against a particular wall in your bedroom, start there with the furniture layout.
Discover your color scheme. Do you want your bedroom to be a relaxing environment where you are able to recharge? Pick out colors that will do that for you.
Make sure you sample your paint colors before you decide what colors will work. Color changes in every environment. It is affected by where the windows are located in the room, what direction they face. The lighting in a room will also affect how the room takes on the colors. I generally like to test colors during the day as well as night.
Make sure you have good lighting in your space. Lighting will bring life to your room.
Start playing with different fabrics and textures. Pull quite a few ideas and than work on narrowing them down. Mix up some different styles, allow your room to evolve.
Everything doesn’t have to match. There are endless fabrics available. Narrow them down by style and color.
Shop around, don’t take the easy way out and buy your furniture at one store. Mix it up for a look that you will love for years to come.
If you have further question regarding how to design your space contact us here.

Do you need Taekwondo headgear for Taekwondo sparring? Or can you substitute protective gear designed for another martial art, like MMA headgear? If you’re serious about your Taekwondo training and sparring, this is something you should discuss with your instructor or coach. But here’s a general overview on Taekwondo headgear and MMA headgear to help inform your decision.
Taekwondo headgear protects against cuts, scrapes, and swelling during training or sparring. (While it can cushion some of the blow from any strikes you receive to the head, it is important to note that no headgear can guarantee protection against concussions and other head trauma.) Taekwondo headgear is typically made from vinyl or dipped foam and is fastened by a chin strap. It may contain vents designed for better ventilation and hearing. Face cages may also be attached to Taekwondo headgear to offer additional protection to the face.
Like Taekwondo headgear, MMA headgear is designed to protect your head. (Although its padding does cushion your head from punches and kicks, the same caution about concussions and head trauma apply.) MMA head guards are usually made from vinyl or leather, with padding made from foam or gel.
Using MMA Headgear in Taekwondo
As long as your instructor approves, you will probably be fine using MMA headgear. If you’re serious about your training, though, you will feel and perform much better in Taekwondo headgear that has been specifically designed to meet the needs and demands of Taekwondo.

Nearly $7 million worth of Ethereum has been emptied out of the HEX purchase address in the past few days. A series of 36 transactions, each containing 1,337 ETH, depleted the bulk of the remaining Ethereum which had been sent to the HEX purchase address.
With Ethereum now trading around the $145 mark, that makes the 48,132 ETH worth just under $7 million. Less than a month ago the same coins would have been worth around $5.5 million. Yet Ethereum holders don’t have to worry about a sudden cash-out negatively affecting the price of their coin. Not yet anyway.
Right now, each of those 36 transactions are sitting quietly in 36 different Ethereum addresses – each worth $192,995 each at the time of writing. Unless the owner of these coins faces urgent legal pressure in the near future, there’s a chance they’ll remain in cold storage until ETH hits its next short-term peak.

My seven year-old daughter’s face was a mash-up of horror and sorrow.
Her body tensed with anger and she shrieked like a siren, “But… it’s miiiiiiiine!” I had picked up a pencil on the table and handed it to her brother. We were doing homework and he needed a pencil. There was one on the table. Only it was Emerson’s. At least that’s what she thought.
Her high-pitched rage triggered something in me. The sound and the face were terrible, but I recognized it all. I feel the same way more times than I want to admit.
Something happens that’s different than my plan. Something I’ve worked for gets taken away. I share or I flex my plans, because I’m a grown up, and compassionate, and a pastor. But my heart screams that same shrieking protest.
Not getting your way is painful. We all want control. Children wish they had it and imagine that adults can do whatever they want. Most adults know the sad truth. Very little of life is ever in our control.
Are you screaming for control?
Yet we aspire to live like CEOs. We’ve even been counseled at times to act like the CEO of ourselves. Set the agenda. Design your life. I’ve spent the better part of my life trying to live this way. But this perspective brings it’s own problems.
- If you’re the CEO of your life, it’s easy to feel entitled. You’ve worked hard for what you have. You should get to decide how things go! When things don’t go your way, it’s brutally painful.
- If you’re the CEO of your life, you’ve got nowhere to go when you don’t know the answers. It’s up to you. You’re alone. You’ve got to save yourself.
This is not how you were designed to live. Trying to control every aspect of your world is a draining and stressful exercise in futility. You are not really the CEO of your life. But this isn’t news. For something like 4000 years the Bible has been saying that there is a God and you’re not it. Jesus had the power to control the storms of life, but his disciples didn’t. Neither do you.
Instead of calling you to be the CEO of your life, the Bible invites you to take the position of steward.
Isn’t it time you retired?
In ancient times the steward was a servant in a wealthy family. This servant had the responsibility of managing the household. They oversaw the budget, managed the other servants and made sure the house ran smoothly.
This was a position of responsibility that required initiative and care. It’s a lot like a CEO, with one important difference. The CEO is doing his own will, in pursuit of what will benefit him. The Steward is following the agenda of their master. They are entrusted with resources that they can use, but not for their own ends.
This is how the Bible portrays our relationship with our life and our stuff. Scripture declares unapologetically that the earth and everything in it belongs to God. (Ps.24:1-2) We aren’t the owner or the CEO. We are stewards. What we have has been lent to us for a purpose. (See 1 Cor. 4:2)
When Emerson screamed about Lucas using her pencil she was conveniently forgetting that I gave her the pencil to begin with. You may have worked hard to earn your position or your financial resources or your skills. Except that God provided you the opportunities and the personality and the ability to learn. You may have plans for how your life will go, but it is God who will give you the days ahead (or not.)
The Freedom of Stewardship
It may sound like a demotion at first. And yet you’ll find you have enormous freedom.
Everything you have has been entrusted to you. It’s for your use, but not for your agenda. You can live your life like Emerson with the pencil, shrieking in pain when your plans are blocked and you don’t get your way. But you don’t have to. If you shift your attitude and see yourself as a steward, you will find a new outlook.
- You’ll find a sense of direction for how to use your money, time and skill. Instead of working to accumulate, you’ll be able to work to make a difference.
- You’ll find a deeper sense of peace when difficult things happen. Either the Master will provide the resources to make it through, or the Master will help you make it through with what you have, or the Master will use the trouble to shape you. All of these are fine.
- You’ll find that you can be less controlling and more flexible. God is up to something in your life. When your plans don’t go your way, you can stop and look for God’s fingerprints. Maybe there’s a detour that’s better than the route you had planned.
This is one of the attitudes that will propel you forward in personal and spiritual growth. Let go of the illusion of control. Don’t give up personal responsibility, just the myth that you can run the show.
Instead, approach your life with the heart of a steward.

Have you ever kept your fingers crossed when waiting for your friend to declare the date of her dinner party? If so, then perhaps you know what happens when you are expected to be at two separate functions on one day. Declining an invitation can be so difficult at times that you might end up feeling frustrated at your helplessness. Being polite and rejecting an invitation can be a solution but it cannot be considered complete if not followed with the relevant etiquette. It is quite common that the dates of two get-togethers collide and you have to turn one of them down. However, this turning down has to be neither cryptic nor vague; neither hostile nor overtly apologetic. Please remember that turning down a friend’s invitation for another friend’s function is not a crime; it doesn’t even belittle your friendship with anyone; it is just a matter of personal choice and, of course, the nature of celebration. And don’t worry about your image; politely declining an invitation, citing genuine reasons, can only make you look nicer in front of your friends.
Declining An Invitation
Thank The Host For Invitation
As soon as you receive an invitation, check all possible chances of attending the function. If you have tried everything and still don’t find any option then you have to inform your host at the earliest. First of all, thank them for inviting you over; this will convey your gratitude at being considered important enough. This would assure your host that had it not been for unavoidable circumstances, you would have definitely graced the occasion with your presence.
Think Of All Possible Solutions
Depending on the type of the function, you must think of the number of days that you’d have to dedicate towards the celebration. Once you receive an invitation to a function, it is quite essential that you think of all the possible ways to make it to the function. If it is a family function then you can ask your siblings, your wife or your children to represent in case you can’t make it.
As soon as you get an invitation that you have to decline, call up your host and do the needful within a week or so. This way you can be safe from a situation where you promise them that you will come and then, at the last minute, you realize you cannot go. Check the schedule clearly before responding to such invitations to avoid further problems.
Whether you are going to attend the function or not, you must be responsible enough to let your host know of your decision. This is indeed vital as the host has to make necessary arrangements which depend upon the number of guests that they can expect.
Honesty Still Pays
When you receive an invitation, you should figure out the chances of attending it and provide your reasons honestly. The host, in no case, should feel that you don’t value their invitation. Be it your ill health, your kid’s exams or another event at the same day, you must be honest with your host and fill them in with your reason. Generally, the best way is to tell the host in person but, these days, speaking to them over the phone is also appreciated.
If you can make it to the function albeit with a little delay then it’s better to talk to your host about it. They might have to make arrangements for the same and your sincere efforts at being there might even make them happier than you expect. The host might even shift the dates or re-schedule, depending upon the nature and scale of the event.
- I’d love to, but unfortunately I’m leaving for New York the same day.
- I really appreciate the invitation, but I’m extremely sorry.
- Maybe another time?
- Sorry, but I’m meeting my dad on that day.
- Is it ok if I visit you and your family next week? Because I have a tight schedule to meet this week.
- I’m sorry for the inconvenience caused, but I have another wedding in the family to attend on the same day.
- I’ll not be able to make it for Gary’s birthday party in June; I have a knee cap surgery in the same month.
- Due to a previous engagement, I can’t make it for the dinner tonight.
- Thank you Michael for your invite, but I have an important meeting the same day. My daughter Sara will be present as a representative of our family.
Though it is not considered very nice to decline invitations, certain circumstances in life demand us to do so because of the mixed schedules. The reasons to decline invitations can be many but it is indeed important to stay honest or else you might just have to pay for your lie later. Adopt these ways to leave a good impression on your host and, most importantly, value them for inviting you to be a part of their happiness. Meeting them personally and thanking them is the best way to go about it. In case that is not possible, call them up and inform them in an appropriate manner.

Car-themed games can take many forms, so all players can find a fitting game for their taste. In this article, we will introduce fantastic car-themed games to entertain kids, grown-ups, and everyone else in between.
Racing games are popular for a good reason
Let’s start with the most obvious option of all car-related games; racing games. Different racing games have been popular since they have been attainable for PCs. Their popularity just keeps on rising, thanks to consoles. Because of them, people can play with their friends or by themselves.
There are a lot of entertaining racing games that have been made during the last decade. You can try out games that mimic real-life races, such as F1 2019 or Dirty Rally 2.0. On the other hand, you also have fun options like Rocket League, which combines car racing with football. Additionally to individual games, you can get excited about game series such as Need for Speed. Series like these have some true gems, and we need to mention Hot Pursuit from the Need for Speed series, it being the most popular.
The best games for a grown-up taste
Are you not a fan of racing games, but still want to have fun with car-themed games? In that case, you still have plenty of other games to choose from. If you crave games for more grown-up taste, online casinos might have what you are looking for.
You can find fantastic online casinos at https://www.usonlinecasino.com/. There are listed traditional online casinos that have car-themed slot machines. If you are more interested in mixing car races to your playing experience, you can check out sports betting options. With US Online Casino, you can find reviews of casinos, which will help you to find exactly what you are looking for.
Car themed games to play with kids
We can’t be talking about games, without mentioning games that can be played in a car. The best car games can be played with kids, even when you are driving. This way you can have fun with kids, while still focusing on the road.
A great example of these types of games is the Yellow Car game. During the game, you only need to spot yellow cars faster than anybody of your traveling companions does. You can avoid any boring situation even during a long car ride while playing a classic car-themed game! Or, if you wanna go with the safe card, you can play Mario Kart 7 for free here: https://3dsroms.org/mario-kart-7/
Car-themed board games entertain every player
Not all car-themed games need a screen to be played. Once you have arrived at your destination after the car ride, you might want to have a fun board game night! There are a lot of surprising fun car-themed board games that are entertaining for players of any age.
Car-themed games are very popular, and it seems not to be changing. Thus, we can only assume that in the future there will be even more fun games to play on the road, at home, or wherever you are!

Captain Ron has been immersed in the UFO/paranormal community for many years. Through reading and listening to experts, working with conferences, and doing hundreds of interviews he has built up an extensive knowledge of the subject.
He began podcasting with the ELEVATE THE CONVERSATION show back in 2014 and then moved on to the TRUTH BE TOLD show along with Tony Sweet. In April of 2021 he founded The Observation Deck, an online source for information on speakers and events in and around the UFO community. He also launched his new show THE OBSERVATION DECK. That show focuses on where his passions lie; new theories and discoveries in the areas of Science, Technology, History and the Paranormal. His objective remains the same: To try and drill down to the heart of what is really going on at the core of these unknown areas.

My Saturday was quiet. As was Friday, the day before.
Slowing down in my old age.
I spent a part of yesterday afternoon continuing research for this week’s KONK Life column.The subject mater sand. The world is running out of usable sand. Comparable to the world’s water problem.
So bad, a black market in sand already exists in certain countries.
I look forward to writing the article this afternoon. Few are aware of the sand problem.
Got out last night! Dinner with Donna and Terri at Hurricane Hole.
Hurricane Hole is a hole. Therein lies its charm. A small marina on a small bit of water surrounded by mangroves. An open air bar and tables. Nothing fancy. Food good, however.
Not easy to find. Hurricane Hole sits on US 1. Less than .2 of a mile outside Key West. Just over Cow Key Bridge going north on US 1.
My ladies were tired. Getting ready to move. In a week. Still packing boxes. Their new abode will be in Bahama Village. At the corner of Whitehead and Petronia Streets.
Terri is doing well and not so well. Her eyes get worse by day. She needs assistance walking. An arm on her arm. She has a walking stick. Uses it well.
Some vision available for minor uses. Like eating. She wears two sets of glasses. One upon the other to get minimum vision. Soon, there will be no vision.
They have had Bear to the seeing eye dog trainer to determine if he qualifies. He does. Soon, the training will begin.
BOB an excellent learning tool, as well as informative.
Bob and Ann Smith were having lunch at Road Kill Cafe. Before my time. Never heard of it.
The waitress an acquaintance. She came up to Bob and asked if he had a smoke. He offered a cigarette. She was looking for a joint.
A conversation ensued re the high cost of grass. The question arose as to why? Because of golf, Bob said.
Bear with me. I am not sure even after reading the chapter several times how the two are interconnected. The story however interesting.
Bob explained that when they lived in Buffalo, there was a lot of snow. Everyone carried jumper cables in their cars. In the middle of the night, Bob’s front door bell rang. It was the police. A passer by had seen someone steal Bob’s jumper cables. The police were able to quickly apprehend the culprit. They wanted to make Bob aware.
Bob obviously was pleased. He asked the officer to hand him the jumper cables. The officer refused, explaining that the theft of jumper cables in New York was a Class A Felony and had to be retained for evidence.
Two weeks later, Bob received a notice to appear in court. The notice further advised that if he failed to do so, a warrant for his arrest could be issued.
Bob appeared. Directed to a large court room and told to take a seat. Bob estimates 300 people in the room. Bob was dressed suit and tie for the occasion. Most others, not.
Soon several of the others began asking him about the proceedings. Bob explained he was not a lawyer. Merely like them. Which he was not. Most were defendants waiting to go before the judge. Bob had been directed to the wrong room.
He went into the hall. Saw the public defender representing the man who stole his jumper cables and the arresting police officer. He went over and chatted with them.
Bob was anxious to get out of the place and asked them what had to be done. They said the action was on the floor above. Nothing really moved on the floor they were on.
So upstairs the three went. Into a maze of offices with a lone secretary sitting in the middle. Several assistant district attorneys plea bargaining cases. Bob described the scene as chaos.
The public defender and police officer knew what to do. Soon the guy who stole Bob’s jumper cables case was resolved.
Bob was free to leave.
He asked how plea bargaining came to be.
At first plea bargaining was used to get one defendant to turn on another in order to get a sweet deal. Flipping. The system worked well. Cases moved.
One judge said, in effect, hey this works terrific! Why don’t we use it to negotiate sentences so a sole defendant will agree to plead to a lesser charge. His motivation was that judges could get out of work earlier and have time each afternoon to play golf. In fact, he thought they could be out by lunch.
Plea bargaining born to provide judge’s with the opportunity to play golf. What all this had to do with the high cost of pot, I still do not understand.
Children separated from parents at the border. Commonplace recently in the United States. We read and talk about the impact on the children. To hear about it first hand from a person it actually happened to impactful.
The New York Times began an OPINIONS section this morning. It will run every Sunday. People writing about first hand experiences.
Victoria Smolkin today a history professor at Wesleyan University and an author. Thirty years ago, 8 years old. She, her parents and family were escaping Communist Russia. They had necessary papers. They reached the crucial point at the border. Theirs bags searched. The mother’s contained an inexpensive broach that was a family heirloom. The Russian guards thought she was taking expensive jewelry out of Russia.
The mother was taken away. The problem resolved two days later and her mother returned.
Here it is 30 years later. Victoria recalls how she developed a huge bald spot on the right side of her head and wet the bed for two years.
Trauma? You bet. Imagine what the immigrant children in the U.S. are experiencing and will suffer therefrom for years.
Victoria wrote: “…..separating families at the border…..not about law and order…..about power, and the abuse of power – because if, in the collision between border and body, no one protects the body, the border always wins.”
Enjoy your Sunday!

The gene encoding cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) is expressed in multiple cell types in diverse tissues including liver, kidney, intestine, and white and brown adipose tissues. It can thus be considered a model system for examining the regulation of cell-specific transcription. The PEPCK gene is transcribed from a single start site, but studies of transgenic mice have revealed that distinct cis-acting elements (and thus different trans-acting factors) regulate PEPCK expression in hepatocytes, renal proximal tubule epithelial cells, and adipocytes. Hepatocytes require elements between -457 and +69 bp; renal proximal tubule epithelia require elements between -363 and +69 bp; and adipocytes require elements between - 2086 and -888 bp. An additional element downstream of +69 bp is required to either attenuate PEPCK mRNA levels in liver and fat or increase renal PEPCK mRNA. We hypothesize that the transcription factors C/EBP and DBP are the principal tissue-specific regulators in liver, and that HNF-1 and perhaps C/EBP are important for kidney-specific PEPCK expression. We propose that the putative downstream element is involved in regulating PEPCK mRNA turnover in liver and fat. Finally, we suggest that the fat-specific element is an enhancer that requires a novel adipogenic regulatory factor, ARF6, to function. The long-term objective will be to fine map the cis-acting elements and identify the cognate trans-acting factors that regulate PEPCK in liver, kidney and fat. This information will help elucidate the combinatorial mechanisms that control the cell-specific expression of this complex gene.

An American author is being good natured about taking it on the Twitter chin for having the same name as ousted Newfoundland and Labrador Liberal caucus and cabinet member Eddie Joyce.
The New Yorker had received the following tweet from Momming in Real Life: “Dear Eddie J, Repeat after me: Do you want fries with that? Ok, now you try.”
Friend Peter Gallagher, quipping about American Joyce being from Staten Island, advised him, “You need to start replying to these. My suggestion: wutang (popular 1990s Staten Island hip hop group Wu-Tang Clan) lyrics out of context.”
Expat N.L.er Harry Tucker tweeted: “It's all good unless a court order shows up.”
American Joyce was commenting on the tweets he’s mistakenly received about the House of Assembly uproar, in which harassment complaints have been filed against Joyce and fellow former cabinet minister Dale Kirby. Those complaints are being reviewed by the commissioner for legislative standards and the pair are out of cabinet and caucus until the work is completed.
In another exchange, American Joyce received tweeted: “A glimpse into the life of Eddie Joyce, a Canadian politician who is not me,” and quoted a tweet advising N.L. Joyce to resign and “#makeNLgreatagain from poster Craig Moore, who apologized for getting the wrong Eddie Joyce.
No worries,” said American Joyce. “It's been interesting to follow his trial and tribulations from afar. I don't know anything about Canadian politics but he sure elicits strong reactions.”
American Joyce is a part owner of a thriving Brooklyn bookstore, author of a novel, “Small Mercies,” a semi-stay-at home dad and had worked as a lawyer for 10 years.
Up until about a month ago, he got the occasional tweet mistaking him for N.L. Joyce, but it has ramped up recently due to the controversy swirling around N.L. Joyce.
Someone once thanked him for bringing fried chicken to a town hall gathering. (It's a likely reference to the media reports of Joyce bringing Mary Brown's in January to Lark Harbour Town Hall by chopper delivering supplies after that town and York Harbour got cut off by a washed-out highway.)
“I now have a vague understanding of who the other Eddie Joyce is just via Google,” American Joyce told The Telegram.
He’s bemused by the mistaken identity and said he doesn’t know a big lot about it as it’s hard enough to follow the firestorm in U.S. politics.
“I would put myself firmly in anti-Donald Trump camp. But the level of animosity on both (U.S.) sides is a little disconcerting,” he said, adding he’s scaled back his Twitter involvement but now finds himself engaging a bit more due to the N.L. Eddie Joyce brouhaha, and to point out that he’s the wrong person for those seeking to dress down the politician.
“(Twitter generally) is a rabbit hole that keeps going down. It’s like shouting into a hole in the ground,” he said.
“This actually is most engagement I have had on Twitter in a while.”
Meanwhile, while American Joyce has been to Montreal, he’s always had an interest in visiting Eastern Canada, particularly Newfoundland and Labrador and P.E.I.
He studied Irish history in college and is interested in the subject of Irish immigration to North America.
He just might want to wait until things simmer down around the N.L. Joyce, who doesn't have a Twitter account.

Newest Collection “First Snow”-Penny Black
Hi crafty friends! I am back with other cards using Penny Black new collection “First Snow”. If you haven’t seen my previous cards with this new collection click HERE. Today I am sharing three cards!
I love the clean and simple style cards by adding accent colors. Here are a few cards that I made the same style with the same method. If you haven’t seen these cards before, clink here (orange card) & here (red card). This first card I used the same method and style. It’s a very simple layout but it makes a strong first impression.
It’s a one layer card. I stamped all images ( #30-647 sweet sledder & #30-644 bundled buddies) on the A2 sized white cardstock panel. I colored a background using a yellow marker and add accent colors to the images. And then I stamped a sentiment from #30-649 frosty hello to the panel. That’s it! I LOVE this card layout & style and it makes me smile.
Here is another holiday card. For this card, I used watercolor paints. I left a lot of white space and added a few colors to the image. Of course, it’s very easy to make and is not required professional skills.
For this coloring method that I used, I applied the first layer of the color and then waited until the paint dried. I applied the second color (same color but less water, so the color shows a bit darker than first color you applied). It looks like the kid’s blue coat and bear’s shadows. If you add a different color before the first color of paints dried, it looks like the bear’s cheek and the kid’s cheek. Two colors are mixing smoothly.
Here is my last card for today! This background image is one of my favorite stamps. It works well in a winter theme along with other winterly images. (If you haven’t seen these cards click here (left card) and here (right card).
It’s very simple to make. I stamped a background image from #40-566 under the trees using black ink on some white cardstock. Next, I stamped a baby image from #30-647 sweet sledder on another white cardstock and then colored it with markers. I fussy cut it and adhere it to the background image. I stamped a sentiment from #30-647 sweet sledder stamp set on the background image. Lastly, I add the background to the black panel.
I love this baby image so much! Have you seen this card (see image below)? I posted it my previous blog post for the “first snow” collection. If you haven’t seen it yet click here.
That’s all for today! I will be back on this Friday with other cards for this First Snow Collection. Stay tuned.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Amtrak planned a special train route to make the most out of the solar eclipse, but it was so popular that it sold out in the less than a day.
The Carbondale area in southern Illinois is considered the best place in the U.S. to see the total solar eclipse on August 21.
So at 3 a.m. on the morning of August 21 Amtrak will run a special train from Chicago to Carbondale. The train route was so popular that it sold out 22 hours after going on sale.
Amtrak says once the train is on its way its lights will be dim so people can take a nap.
There will be plenty to do once you get to Carbondale about 8:30 a.m.
"Go down there, you can spend the whole day, because there's an eclipse marketplace, music festival, there's lots of things going on, then the eclipse itself, at about 1:30 p.m.," said Amtrak spokesperson Marc Magliari.
After a full day of fun, Amtrak gets you back to Union Station before 11 p.m. that night.

Anyone else utterly exhausted?! What with Imbibe Live and Junipalooza not only back but also bookending Negroni Week it’s been a busy old month, so it’s no wonder my gin monthly is (once again) rather late. But it’s also been just brilliant to see people again and catch up with gin pals old and new. It’s what we have all been waiting for and it definitely did not disappoint!Continue reading
Anyone who knows me, or reads my blog, knows that I don’t just love gin; I love the stories behind gin too. Where, why and how it’s made. What first inspired its makers. I suppose you could call it the origin story. Today’s tale is a little different; for this time the gin has been created to enable the true story to take place.Continue reading

But, for now, let’s forget the ridiculous and focus on the sublime. Here are my top ten for 2018 and this year it was harder than ever to pick them! Keep reading for your chance to win a bottle of Brentingby!Continue reading
Anyone who has even half an eye on the gin industry at the moment will know that small-batch limited edition gins are big news. As are gin subscription services. One Time Gin and Sipsmith’s Sipping Society have lead the way and now Batch Brew, Lancashire’s first gin distillery, are getting in on the act too with their monthly Batch Innovations subscription service.
In 2010, John Savage-Onstwedder became one of the first UK recipients of a 350-litre still license, but it wasn’t until 2012 that the Dà Mhìle organic farmhouse distillery was opened in Ceredigion, Mid Wales. Having endured months, if not years, of building works and bureaucracy, success came to the distillery quickly as their first product, the organic Orange 33 liqueur, won a True Taste Award for its very first test batch!
A brief glance at Mary Rose Gin, from HMS Spirits, conveys a sense of voyage and expedition. But it goes beyond the compass emblazoned on the back of the bottle, the sailing ships and the instruction to “Chart Your Own Course”. HMS Spirits began with one chap from the South Coast, Ben Maguire, who had a passion for travelling and also a love of gin (born of a desire to lose weight without compromising his social life!). Having been enticed by the art of distilling, Ben bought a 35 litre copper still on a trip to Hungary (as you do!) but it took four years of experimentation in his garage before he settled upon a recipe he felt would “respect the art of the London Dry whilst adding a new modern twist”. There was then a further year of researching bottles, labels and stoppers and building a brand that reflected his love of the sea, travel and enterprise.
Charity gifts have been gaining in popularity since Oxfam’s first goat herds went up for grabs. Alongside this, we’ve seen an increase in brands that do good, and gin is no exception. There’s Ginerosity, the profits from which go towards helping young adults from disadvantaged backgrounds; One Gin, which funds water projects in the world’s poorest communities; and Graveney Gin, which gives 10% of its profits to conservation charity Gearing Up For Gorillas. But what if you’re looking for a gift that’s a little more generous or rather more tangible? Well, The National Trust for Scotland, the country’s largest conservation charity, have just launched the Love Gin Hamper and it could be just the thing you’re looking for for the gin-lover in your life.

Just another spring day. Look, it’s spring. Blue sky. The honey locust, which was here when we moved in, and which I would cut down (stupid locust pods everywhere) if I could get rid of the wood, has had the good sense not to do anything rash, like leaf out. The really smart plants died over the winter.
I took some so-so pictures to prove that it’s spring. It was so sunny and warm that the pictures didn’t come out too well.
An hour and a half or so later, things changed, the way they do. Look how fast the clouds on the right are moving.
I realize that this sounds repetitive, if not downright boring, but the forecast calls for a foot of snow tonight and near-record cold temperatures tomorrow night. This is the third or fourth occurrence of a foot of snow in combination with near-record cold temperatures in less than a month. I’m beginning to wonder if we’re not stuck in some sort of time loop.
I took some more pictures, still trying to prove it’s spring. Fritillaria pinardii:
Corydalis glaucescens ‘Pink Beauty’. I’ve posted this before, but that’s because it seems to be having such a good time here. Not much else is.
The ultimate harbinger of spring in Colorado (aside from the foot of snow business), Mertensia lanceolata, in bud:
And in flower:
In flower again:
A primula whose name I forget. Or, whose label was pushed so far down in the trough I can’t find it. This is one of those Primula allionii hybrids; the only primulas I can grow.
Corydalis solida ‘Harkov’ with slightly tattered flowers:
Then a little graupel, as further proof of spring. This was on one of the metal chairs:
Then, a traveling weather report, brought in by a household member who prefers to remain anonymous (by not being in focus):
And finally, the certainty that it’s spring. All the freezing cold joy of spring that anyone could want:

Alberta Ferretti and Emma Watson to launch an eco-friendly line
The actress is surely playing her cards right in the fashion business. After being Burberry’s muse, Emma Watson has just announced an organic clothing range project with Italian designer Alberta Ferretti.
At only 20 years of age, Emma Watson shifts between cinema and fashion
The news was revealed by the American press: Emma Watson had been contacted by Alberta Ferretti to create an organic clothing line together. Although the name of the range is yet to be revealed, we know that the style will be inspired by Jane Birkin’s sixties look with pieces that combine classic with a touch of retro.
For Watson, the move towards a “greener” fashion is nothing new. In fact, for the past two seasons, the young actress has worked in collaboration with British fashion label People Tree who offer fair trade clothing. The royalties gathered by the sales are then transferred to the People Tree Foundation, whose aim is to allow farmers from all over the world to benefit from the advantages of fair trade.
Meanwhile fans will have to eagerly wait for the collection to come out in 2011.

Three Light is located just west of the recently completed Two Light in the exciting The Power & Light District in Kansas City, Missouri, all developed by The Cordish Companies. Like its predecessor, this newest and taller addition to the downtown skyline is a modern glass tower with masonry elements at the base. However, it boasts several distinguishing features, including its dynamic garage screen murals derived from the metrics and rhythms of classic KC jazz icons, dynamic expressed structure and rich articulation, as well as its signature silhouette against the sky.
Three Light is a 25-story, 288-unit mixed-use residential high rise building with a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments, and 33 penthouse units on the top four floors. The base of the building features the resident lobby with its entry along Truman Road to the south, and 7,650 sf of retail space along Truman Road, Walnut Street, and Main Street, adjacent to a new Streetcar stop.
Like Two Light to the east, Three Light has a generous interior amenity space and exterior terrace at the 8th level. The new terrace, overlooking the heart of the entertainment district, will be connected to it’s neighbor by a new pedestrian bridge over Walnut Street so residents can enjoy the amenities of both buildings. The sophisticated, elegant identity of the new community is manifest in this richly programmed amenity space and its cantilevered, glass-walled pool framing the view north of the Power and Light District and the Main Street corridor.

Leave-taking of Dormition in Vodoča ( 05.09.2007 )
Today, on the Leave-taking of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos and the feastday of the Holy Hieromartyr Irenaeus of
As an interpretation of today's reading from the Holy Scripture, His Eminence says that were we able to bring to awareness that moment of our spiritual life, we would notice that our distracted mind during its wandering throughout the “world” lingers where it finds pleasure. Now, since on the first stage of our spiritual development we are still captured by the passion of vainglory, we should know for certain that our mind delights in thoughts, desires, hopes, plans, and fantasies, which are food for our self-love. It indulges in thoughts that nourish our vanity and high self-esteem, as well as in gossip, judging and condemnation of all who are “lower” than us and who threaten our “power and glory.” And all this, according to our Lord’s words, proceeds from our heart; it is this that defiles our heart, not what we bring into it through our mouth. It is incumbent upon all of us who are on the first stage, the stage of purification, with ascetical effort to compel our mind to lock itself in the prayer words, “Lord, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us,” so that the Godman Jesus Christ be our sole delight. We do not have much choice: our mind will either be distracted and wander throughout the “world,” indulging in its fake glory; or it will be collected in God, thus delighting in the only One Who loves man and makes him feel fulfilled—our Lord Jesus Christ. At the prayers of our only Sovereign Lady and Guide, the Most Holy Theotokos and Ever-virgin Mary, Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us.

Country: Australia Region: McLaren Vale
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage: 2017 Colour: Red Style: Dry
Producer: D'Arenberg Estate
Since 1912 the Osborn family have tended vineyards in McLaren Vale. Today the fourth generation, Chester makes distinctive wines using traditional methods.
Coppermine Road runs parallel to our very best Cabernet vineyard in McLaren Vale, just metres from the winery, cellar door and restaurant. Planted to an almost extinct clone, this vineyard rarely yields greater than one tonne to the acre.
Tasting Note: The Coppermine Road exhibits classic Cabernet aromatics of black currant leaf, violets and cigar box with an interesting twist of cooking spice and mustard seed. These lovely savoury notes are followed through onto the palate but with an underlying sweet blackcurrant and mulberry fruitiness that builds as the wine evolves in your glass. The initially cedar like tannins, start early and give the wine incredible length. An intriguing fennel note accompanies the chalky tannins that are picked up on the finish, which is long and lingering.

Apparently, the Orlando Sentinel had a contest trying to define something we've all known for 15 years.
The results are in and boy does Metallica suck.
Psst… Jason, far be it from me to criticize, but just between you and me, you're really going after some low-hanging fruit here. Pointing out that Metallica sucks in 2006 is like writing a scathing critique of Punky Brewster.
Furthermore, they have continued to suck AND swallow by jacking up the prices of their tickets and merchandise. It seems the more their music rolls downhill into a pit of "alternative" dogshit, the more they think they're worth. Plain and simple, a band that is more hardcore about their image and record sales than their depleting fanbase is … Metallica.
I don't know. There are other bands that play big arena shows that cost lots of money and I still respect them. There's something to the Metallica ouevre, the body of work, the whole thing, that turns off people who were once fans. It isn't just the sellout factor, although that's a part of it.
I also don't think I could reasonably call their music a downward slide toward alternative. There was nothing "alternative" about St. Anger, except as an alternative to music. If anything, their career arc since the 1980s jumps in and out of genre in an ever-changing attempt to redefine itself as whatever is most popular at the time. An example would be the LOADs, both of which are just all over the map stylistically throughout, seemingly trying to shit out every possible style of music in one 70 minute record. If Metallica had actually progressed and developed a sound that had mellowed into something you could reasonably call "alternative", I don't think most of their fans would have had a huge problem with it. That's what bands do when they hit 30-35. But instead, their music "progressed" into an unintelligible, identity-less, chaotic mess.
In the larger sense I think the article misses the point. There's no denying that Metallica sucks, but to try to sum it up into a paragraph, a sonnet or a haiku is impossible. It just "is". For me, Metallica's suckitude is just something you take in stride as a fan. They suck or have sucked in every possible way a band can suck at some point. And still I have begrudging respect for the bastards. In a way, it's admirable — a band has never maintained such a huge fanbase while simultaneously being comepletely tone-deaf to what their fans want and the music scene in general. And you have to remind yourself that somewhere inside of these cocksuckers are the musical geniuses that once lived at the top of their consciousness.
It's like the metalhead's version of being a Michael Jackson fan. Yeah, he embarrasses himself deeper and deeper into a hole every time he appears in public. But like Metallica, he had a run of four straight albums that were so groundbreaking and amazing at the beginning of his career, that some small part of you overlooks every embarrassing debacle, one after the other, and still maintains some hope in you that the 1980s version will magically return one day. Even though that artist hasn't existed for almost twenty years.
In the logical part of your brain, you know that the Metallica that wrote Whiplash and Creeping Death is deader than roadkill, buried by nearly two decades of soul-selling, New Age therapy and a lifestyle that keeps getting further and further away from that of the people who used to buy their albums. But you still give everything they produce a listen, on faith, just to prove to yourself that they're still completely and hopelessly out of touch, and didn't morph back into geniuses. That's what a few great albums back to back at the beginning of any career will do for any artist.

(via Councillor Shad Qadri)
On April 6, a Public Open House was held in Stittsville to review the City’s flood remediation measures planned for the Cypress Gardens/Westwood and neighbouring area.
The City is initiating this work due to issues that came to light from the major storm event that occurred in July 2009 where a number of homes flooded in the south end of Stittsville. I was the Councillor during this time and know this was an extremely difficult time for the community and had a major impact on some residents in this area. The City has taken this issue very seriously and following the major rainfall, the City evaluated flood control measures and a mitigation plan was recommended for the west end area.
At the meeting, Eric Tousignant, P.Eng., Infrastructure Services Department provided an overview of the works that are planned in Stittsville to protect houses in the future if we receive another 100 year rainfall event, such as the one in July 2009. Eric clarified that the term ‘100 year rainfall event’ is a term used in the field but actually means there is a 1% chance any year that we could receive such a major rainfall.
The key message from at the meeting was that if we were to receive another major rainfall the City wants to see the water in our streets and not in resident’s basements. City streets are designed to be able to accommodate rainfall and are engineered to actually direct the rainfall like a river to the appropriate sewer outlets. In a major event the rain could pool up to 1 foot in the streets and potentially onto front yards, however, once the rain stops the water is designed to drain within 20minutes to 1 hour.
The City will install approximately 650 special restrictors called Inlet Control Devices (ICDs) into catch basins across the study area., which will restrict, not prevent, storm water from entering sewers to a level they can handle without putting basements at risk of flooding. The work will also include slightly lowering the stormwater management pond between Coyote Crescent and Elm Crescent as well as some ditch improvement work along Elm Crescent between Goulbourn Street and Meadowland Drive.
At the meeting some residents did question if this work was to accommodate the development known as the Chenier lands located at 6279 Fernbank Road. It is important to note that this flood mitigation is to address the existing conditions that lead to the 2009 flooding of many homes in the area and the work was already being considered prior to any development discussions for that property. Extensive discussions have taken place regarding the stormwater management of the Chenier development and the developer is required to address and accommodate that on their own site without adverse impact to the surrounding areas.
You can view the presentation from the April 6th meeting here – Stittsville Flood Presentation April 06 16
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact Eric email@example.com and myself.

I was reading Bill Fontenots blog and saw some of your bird shots. Beautiful. I have D90 and do a little amature shooting, no great lenses though. I have gotten into birding recently and love shooting them (digitally of course). I have a great little piece of land down near Lydia (has uplands, flooded woods and marsh). If you are ever up for a bird/ photo trip I'd love to take you there and get some photograghy-birding pointers. Keep up the great work.

Losing the plot…
I’ve mastered all the forms, one by one. Just getting started helped. Then, scanning in ID’s, passports, and then even more forms need to be stamped and authenticated.
Lots of stamping and signing to do.
I don’t have a desk anymore, so all this happens on my dining room table, between teaching and coaching. In truth, my desk would be too small for that level of organized chaos of papers.
I am still trying to sort out the mess of my own electricity and water meters for my house. To refresh your memory, I bought a house which has the only water and power meters linked to 4 stands, which means I am paying my neighbours water and electricity. To get that sorted is a lengthy, painful process.
It’s taken 18-months to get the house into my name, and now, I am moving and renting out the house. But it gives me huge comfort that my son and his family will enjoy it until they go to Australia.
Then I added to my own business – I started selling dōTERRA essential Oils. Guess what, I had forms to fill out for that too. I absolutely love them, and they go so beautifully with my Pilates and Coaching business. Actually, I’ve become quite passionate about them. Send me a message if you would like to hear more about them.
In between, I am trying to be a supportive mum. And when I get a string of voice notes from my teenager at 10pm then they are important, but not necessarily sleep inducing afterwards.
And guess what? No, you’ll never guess!!!
I had no power this morning and needed to cancel my first class.
So, let’s see what the rest of the day brings.
Lots of love, Christiane

Josh Wolff joined Austin FC in November, 2019 as the First Ever Head Coach in a multiyear agreement.
Wolff, who twice represented the United States as a player in both the 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cup competitions, will join Austin FC at the end of the 2019 FIFA window, upon completion of his current role as Assistant Coach for the US Men’s National Team (USMNT). Wolff previously served on the staff of current USMNT Head Coach Gregg Berhalter for five (5) seasons while at Columbus Crew SC (MLS) prior to re-joining Berhalter on the USMNT staff where he assisted in the team’s recent run to the final of the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Wolff started his MLS coaching career in 2012 with D.C. United where he was an Assistant Coach through 2013. In 2014, he joined Columbus Crew SC as an Assistant Coach, where the team qualified for the playoffs in four of five seasons, winning the Eastern Conference in 2015 and competing in the MLS Cup that year.
Before becoming a coach at the highest level in the United States, Wolff’s stellar playing career spanned from 1998 to 2012, in which time he featured as a goal-scoring forward in both MLS and Germany’s 2. Bundesliga. In total, Wolff made 367 combined appearances for his club sides while tallying 106 goals and was named to the MLS All Star team in 2002 in 2006. Additionally, he received MLS and Club honors as a player, claiming the MLS Cup in 1998, winning three US Open Cup championships, in 1998, 2000, 2004 and adding one as an Assistant Coach with D.C. United, in 2013. Wolff was most recently inducted into Sporting Kansas City’s (MLS) Sporting Legends Hall of Honor after registering 46 goals in 164 competitive appearances for the Club.

His role off the field included evaluating the US player pool both domestically and internationally, as well as working alongside the staff in detailing and defining the team’s game model.

Sandusky County holds steady amid statewide downturn in gun licenses
FREMONT - While Ohio has seen its largest drop in the number of concealed carry handgun licenses since 2011, Sheriff Chris Hilton said Sandusky County has seen steady numbers since his office offered permit services full-time starting in late 2017.
In 2019, the state saw its biggest drop in new licenses issued for carry concealed handguns since 2011 as the number fell by 22% to 54,426.
But Hilton said since taking over as sheriff in 2017, he has seen growth in the department, reporting an increase from 2017's 993 permits to 1,260 in 2018. Last year there were 1,027 permits issued, a drop of 18%.
While the numbers have fallen a bit from the past two years, Hilton said there is still interest from county residents and those outside the county thanks to a streamlined application process.
After being elected in 2016, Hilton said he wanted to the CCW office at the sheriff's office into a full-time entity within his department, citing business lost to neighboring counties due to fewer open hours.
By the end of 2017 and into 2018, Hilton was able to hire staffing for the CCW office and help make the office financially self-sustaining.
He said many residents outside Sandusky County have applied for permits in the county thanks to the fast application process.
MORE COUNTY NEWS:Sandusky County keeping on top of coronavirus
"We do the background check and once it goes through we print the card out and call them immediately," Hilton said. "We can get it back in three to four days, while some take three to four weeks."
Hilton said 2016 saw a large spike in new CCW permits, with 729, compared to 524 in 2017, 491 in 2018 and 362 in 2019.
He said the spike in 2016 may have been due to the presidential race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Renewals have also spiked in recent years, possibly in part to debates over gun legislation.
In 2016, there were 239 gun permit renewals in Sandusky County.
That number increased to 469 in 2017, then again in 2018 to 769 before bottoming out at 665 in 2019.
Hilton said Sandusky County's conservative nature and desire to protect Second Amendment rights is a big reason Sandusky County has seen increases or small reductions to the number of licenses issued.
"I think it has a lot to do with gun rights," Hilton said of the permit increases over the years. "They just want to be able to carry their gun."
Sandusky County has bucked recent trends from the state that have seen record-level drop-offs in new and renewal permits.
There were 77,959 concealed-carry permits renewed last year, a drop of 21% from the record 98,927 renewed in 2018. But the 2019 number still was the second-highest ever.
Sandusky County saw a drop of 13% in renewals, going from 769 in 2018 to 665 in 2019.
Concealed-carry permits have been renewed 494,862 times since the law was enacted in 2004, but not all of those would still be valid. The state does not keep cumulative statistics on licenses issued. Permits must be renewed every five years.
The number of licenses revoked by county sheriffs was cut in half last year to 939. Ohio law requires concealed-carry licenses to be permanently revoked for conviction of a disqualifying crime or a disability due to mental illness or substance abuse, among other factors.
Sheriffs also suspended a record 1,956 licenses last year, a 13% increase over 2018. Licenses must be suspended for a holder charged with certain criminal offenses or being subject to a protection order.
A total of 1,310 requests for concealed-carry licenses were denied in 2019 — the third-highest number ever — for failing to meet eligibility requirements for a regular or temporary emergency license.
Eight hours of training by a certified instructor, including two hours of range time and live-fire training, and passage of a criminal-background check are required to obtain a concealed-carry license.
Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation to allow law-abiding adults to carry handguns without training or a permit, but the bill has stalled in committee.
Lawmakers also are considering a bill to revise how permit holders must inform police officers they have a handgun and lessen the penalty for failing to do so to a $25 fine.
The General Assembly continues to study gun-related legislation in the wake of last August’s mass shooting in Dayton that left nine people dead. Gov. Mike DeWine’s gun-violence proposals have not been embraced by legislative Republicans.
Legislators also are hearing a stand-your-ground bill to remove the duty of Ohioans to retreat, if they can do so safely, prior to using deadly force in self defense.
Columbus Dispatch reporter Randy Ludlow contributed to this story.

As we close the door on 2016, we look back at what readers enjoyed most on the Thrivest legal funding blog over the last 12 months. Thank you for being a part of the Thrivest community, and we look forward to serving your legal funding and specialty finance needs in 2017!
So without further ado, here are our 10 most popular blog posts from 2016:
When a New York Supreme Court judge ruled that a merchant cash advance (MCA) is legally not providing a loan, alternative lenders everywhere rejoiced. But why is this such good news for the industry? What’s so bad about being a loan? This post explains usury laws and how the financial model under which MCAs operate differ from that of companies offering loans.
This post breaks down the two main branches of practice within the legal funding industry: commercial funding–which typically finance commercial plaintiffs (businesses)–and consumer funding (like Thrivest), which finance individual plaintiffs and their attorneys who work on a contingency fee basis.
The misnomer “lawsuit loans” has confused and misled consumers for nearly two decades. We debunk the myths around lawsuit loans, and explain lawsuit advances–one of the most common forms of legal funding.
In 2015, a class action lawsuit settled, promising to cover medical costs for retired NFL players who showed signs of certain neurological conditions. But due to a prolonged appeals process, the settlement isn’t due to pay out anytime soon. Here’s how Thrivest has worked with these retired athletes to secure settlement advances so that they can start undergoing treatment for potentially debilitating conditions.
While the legal funding industry is fairly new, it has seen rapid growth in the few short decades of its existence. We trace the evolution of the litigation funding industry from its birth in Australia to its migration across the ocean to North America.
Keep up with the evolving legal marketplace by adding these tried-and-true marketing practices–along with some brand-new channels–into your firm’s mix, and you’ve got a basic plan for revamping your market presence.
Lawsuit funding doesn’t typically make it into the mainstream news cycle, but when a case involving mega-celebrity Hulk Hogan, entertainment site Gawker, and tech billionaire Peter Thiel entered the news, people who have never heard of legal finance began questioning whether the practice is ethical, let alone legal.
Legal funding is an alternative financial solution for plaintiffs and attorneys experiencing cash flow issues. This post explains what we mean by “alternative financial solution,” and breaks down the types of cash flow issues that plaintiffs and attorneys may be experiencing.
Legal funding gained traction after a Delaware Superior Court justice ruled that litigation funding is acceptable in the courts, and that it grants plaintiffs and plaintiffs’ attorneys a fair playing field against wealthy opponents.
If your small or medium law firm is struggling financially, follow these steps before making any decisions that will affect the future of your firm.
All of us at Thrivest wish you a joyous new year. We look forward to working with you in 2017!

Today I sat down with Toby Cryns (otherwise known as The Mighty Mo!) to set up tag manager on his site – so that he could track how many web visitors click on a specific link. We had so much fun with a round of high-fives at the end that we thought it would be awesome to make a video to save you all the frustration of setting up Google Tag Manager to track link clicks. So here ya go:
If you want help figuring out how people get to your website, what they are clicking on when they get there and how to get more of them to click on the things you want them to (i.e. a Contact Us Form, Download a White Paper, Watch a Video, Call you) then give us a jingle at Monkey Island.
If you want to meet a WordPress rockstar – then Toby fits the bill!

The immune system-related disease affects about 1 in 100,000 babies each year
A new gene-therapy treatment is showing promise in treating a rare and severe congenital condition that involves extreme immune-system deficiencies.
“Bubble boy” syndrome, an X-linked condition, takes its name from a famous case in which an affected boy, vulnerable to infection, lived inside a plastic bubble that protected him from the world’s germs. Outside of such sterile environments, babies with the syndrome seldom live longer than a year, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The condition has for decades bested medical researchers, despite occasional bouts of optimism — hope for one previous gene-therapy treatment was felled when some recipients developed leukemia.
Gene-therapy treatment works, essentially, by replacing unperforming genes with functional ones. Dysfunctional cells are removed from the child’s immune system and exposed to a genetically engineered virus that can reprogram the cells to function properly, explains Reuters. Those cells are then reinserted back into the patient.
In the earlier treatment, the virus to which the cells were exposed apparently activated a part of their genetic code that leads to leukemia, Reuters says.
But initial results reported in the New England Journal of Medicine show that none of the nine babies from the U.S. and Europe who received the latest treatment are exhibiting any signs of cancer.
Of the nine infant participants in the research — who were between 4 and 10½ months old when they began receiving the therapy — eight were still alive 16 to 43 months later, without living in a protective “bubble.” (The ninth child died four months after treatment began from an earlier infection he had been fighting.)
Out of the eight boys still living, the treatment upped blood T-cell levels, rebuilding the immune system, of seven. In the case of the eighth child, the treatment did not rebuild his immune system, but a successful stem-cell transplant has kept him in improved health, Reuters reports.

Strawberry season is in full swing here in Colorado and I couldn’t be more excited. I love those few short months of the year when I can pick up fresh, locally grown strawberries at my farmers’ market. There are just so many delicious ways to use fresh strawberries, and these Strawberry Lemon Cream Napoleons may just be at the top of my list.
Believe it or not, this impressive layered dessert is actually pretty easy with the help of frozen puff pastry. The lemon cream could be a dessert on its own, but sandwich it alongside some fresh strawberries between layers of flaky pastry and you’ve got a fabulous and fancy dessert that tastes even better than it looks. Really, you must make this!
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup lemon curd or canned lemon pie filling
- Zest of one lemon
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Unfold the puff pastry sheet onto a floured surface. Cut puff pastry along seams to make 3 large rectangles. Cut each rectangle in half horizontally to make 2 smaller rectangles. You should have 6 rectangles.
- Arrange the puff pastry on a large baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden. Cool completely.
- While the pastries cool, make the lemon cream. With an electric mixer, beat the whipping cream, sugar and vanilla until very soft peaks form. Beat in the lemon curd and zest.
- Cut each pastry in half horizontally (you should be able to make a “sandwich” with the pastry after it's been cut). Set aside 4 top halves.
- Spread 1/3 cup lemon cream over one bottom pastry half. Repeat with three more bottom pastries. Layer sliced strawberries over the layers of lemon cream.
- Top each with another slice of cooled pastry and repeat the layers of lemon cream and sliced strawberries.
- Top each pastry with the reserved pastry tops. Refrigerate until serving.
Who Dished It Up First: This is an original recipe.

The driver, seemingly as confused as those of us riding in the back of his luxury sedan, wasn’t allowed to say where we were going. He offered us water. He offered us FM radio. He offered us heat. But he did not offer us even the slightest hint of where Jordan Brand had told him to drop us off.
Twenty minutes and one state—we left New York and entered New Jersey via the George Washington Bridge—later, the driver pulled into a typical shopping center, complete with two fast food chains and a hardware store.
“Could this be the place?” we wondered. “There’s nothing here.”
“This is not our final destination,” the driver said, cutting off our thoughts with his first words in some time.
“I was told not to drop you off for another 20 minutes. We’ll wait here for a bit.”
So we waited…and waited…and…waited.
Silently, after peaking at the dashboard clock, the driver suddenly shifted into gear and we resumed our nerve-rattling journey.
As we passed a blue-and-white roadside sign that read TETERBORO AIRPORT, our driver slowed. After a short, inaudible call to his dispatcher, he drove another stretch and eased into a right turn that led directly to what appeared to be a fenced-in airport hanger.
Security approached. Tinted windows rolled down. Words were exchanged. A menacing metal fence opened and allowed us to enter.
We exited the vehicle and soaked in the hangar. It was a nondescript building, minus a large Jumpman logo adorning the wall on the right of the door. By the time we walked forward and approached the dark and heavy-looking door, by the time we stood ready to enter the great unknown that Jordan Brand had prepared for us, our hearts were beating faster than a Chris Paul dribble-drive.
As sneaker obsession has grown over the last decade or so, Jordan Brand has mastered the art of anticipation. In the months leading up to the annual Air Jordan launch, they consistently have sneakerheads refreshing their computers and surfing the most obscure of sites, all in hopes of finding a leaked photo of the upcoming Jordans. They have even the most average of consumers ready to drop a couple Benjamins on the day—usually in January or February—the shoe drops. And they have the media scratching their heads while they ponder how Jordan Brand intends to debut their latest offering.
Last year, the AJ 2011 was first showcased at Madison Square Garden, where the media got to play ball in the Mecca as Miami Heat looked on from the sidelines. In 2010, the site was South Beach. And a couple years before that, in 2007, for the AJ XXIII, the media was invited to Chicago, where they were introduced individually over the PA system at the United Center one by one until, lastly, the man that built the building on the back of win after win, Michael Jordan, came out and joined them.
Yes, there’s no arguing that JB has the Air Jordan debut down to a science. And this year was no different.
Black curtains separated the aluminum-roofed room into multiple segments. In the first one, an airport gate of sorts, branded chairs and coffee tables offered a chilling area. A few feet away, women dressed in stewardess’ gear took down everyone’s name as they checked them in for the day.
Once everyone was registered and settled, we made our way to a second room.
A big screen and slideshow and uncomfortable chairs invited us in. It would’ve been forgettable, if not for the two legends—Tinker Hatfield and Tom Luedecke—on stage. They would proceed to break down the AJ 2012, from inception (Hatfield drew initial ideas using SketchPad pro on his iPad), to logistics (“We pretty much gutted the AJ 2011 and started from that,” says Hatfield), to Mike’s take (“The wingtips, man!”) on the shoe.
After that, it was time for us to wear test our very own pair in the third room, a hastily assembled but amazingly professional full-length basketball court. Led by workout guru and SLAM columnist Idan Ravin, we were put through an intense workout that would have dropped many an out of shape NBA player.
We stretched. We did calisthenics. We contorted our bodies and AJ 2012s every which way—and those with great lungs even played some pickup afterwards.
After an all-too-brief cool down period, we entered a fourth room, a gallery of different AJ 2012 colorways. As we pushed our way further into the fully furnished space, we noticed two computers logged in to Nike’s iD page.
Then we were told we’d be allowed to iD our very own pair of 2012s.
Then we pretty much blacked out in a fit of sneakerhead’s delight.
That was it for yesterday. Today, though, today the beat continues to build as we unveil SLAM Presents Jordan Brand, the insider’s guide to JB’s oncourt and offcourt kicks, as well as a complete look at upcoming athletic and performance apparel.
Packed with pictures on pictures on pictures of Mike and the Brand’s biggest endorsers (as well as shoe-centric features with exclusive quotes from rarely heard from members of the Jordan Brand family) that you’ll see in no other print or web publication, SLAM Presents JORDAN BRAND is sure to exceed your wildest expectations.
Just like every Jordan Brand unveiling does.
Look for it on newsstands by the end of next week, and for now enjoy the cover and all the names on it.

KUALA LUMPUR: HIV can elicit a variety of responses, but a social activist here who is HIV positive has decided that she will be an “open book” when it comes to the disease.
“As a person who is living for more than 13 years with HIV, I believe that my role here is to educate and raise awareness among the public, and try my best to shed the stigma about people living with HIV,” said Norlela Mokhtar (pic), 49, who decided to be part of the Human Library project.
“People are still discriminating and scared to approach us, but we want to give them a chance to get a glimpse of what we are facing every day,” she said in an interview in conjunction with the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games Queen’s Baton Relay Fun Run and Children’s Day Carnival at the Lake Gardens, here, yesterday.
The Human Library is an innovative method designed to promote dialogue, reduce prejudices and encourage understanding. The aim is to positively change people’s attitudes and behaviour towards each other, especially towards groups that are traditionally discriminated against or marginalised.
Scope Group and Human Library Organisation co-founder Christoffer Erichsen said that he started the Human Library project 13 years ago with a group of friends who were running a social enterprise called The Stop Violence Movement.
“We were concerned about the escalation of violence at that time amongst youth and the increasing intolerance between different groups in society,” he said.
According to Norlela, the most common and painful question that she received from the public during her interaction was how she managed to contract the disease.
“The hardest part is explaining how we get it. And after revealing it, they become empathetic towards us but we do not want that. We want to tell the story on how we survived the struggles of our daily lives,” she said.
Another Human Library participant, Wan Set Peng, 35, who is the mother of special-abled child, said that she wanted to share her experience as a caregiver to those with special needs.
“Until now, some people still have the perception that parents who have children with special needs must have done something wrong in the past.
“Like all children, they should be defined by their talents, not their limitations. My message to other parents is – please do not keep them at home,” she said.
Erichsen expressed hope for greater collaborations with the Government and other civil groups in a bid to hold more Human Library books session nationwide.

Strange. It's definitely not passable here. I tried it twenty times or so. Look at my screenshots. The error is right at the very beginning. The first board vanishes from alone although I placed it. But the birds can pass even without (visible) board and fall down behind
the board (through
the second—visible—board). And even when it's there (when I place it once more in a second run) the birds are falling down through the second board.
As everyone can see it's not okay. The correct way is marked (white dots) but there is no board (third screenshot). There MUST be an error. And it happens no matter with grid on or off. I didn't try your solution exactly—your construction is a tiny bit different but that should make no difference. There should be more than one solution possible.
There are other errors as well (see my first posting in this thread).
Please correct that because for me the game ends @ III/10 and I am missing the last two worlds. Or make it so that I can choose any level.

1. Field of the Invention:
The present invention is a fraud detection and security system for banking institutions. More particularly, the invention is a system that utilizes a secure database of information relating to financial transactions of non-account holders who present checks and other instruments for payment.
2. Description of the Prior Art:
Numerous innovations for anti-fraud systems have been provided in the prior art and are described as follows. Even though these innovations may be suitable for the specific individual purposes to which they address, they differ from the present invention as hereinafter contrasted. The following is a summary of those prior art patents most relevant to the invention at hand, as well a description outlining the differences between the features of the present invention and those of the prior art.
1. U.S. Pat. No. 5,819,226, invented by Gopinathan et al., entitled “Fraud Detection Using Predictive Modeling”
In the patent to Gopinathan, an automated system and method detects fraudulent transactions using a predictive model such as a neural network to evaluate individual customer accounts and identify potentially fraudulent transactions based on learned relationships among known variables. The system may also output reason codes indicating relative contributions of various variables to a particular result. The system periodically monitors its performnance and redevelops the model when performance drops below a predetermined level.
2. U.S. Pat. No. 6,094,643, invented by Anderson, entitled “System For Detecting Counterfeit Financial Card Fraud”
In the Anderson system, counterfeit financial card fraud is detected based on the premise that the fraudulent activity will reflect itself in clustered groups of suspicious transactions. A system for detecting financial card fraud uses a computer database comprising financial card transaction data reported from a plurality of financial institutions. The transactions are scored by assigning weights to individual transactions to identify suspicious transactions. The geographic region where the transactions took place as well as the time of the transactions are recorded. An event building process then identifies cards involved in suspicious transactions in a same geographic region during a common time period to determine clustered groups of suspicious activity suggesting an organized counterfeit card operation which would otherwise be impossible for the individual financial institutions to detect.
3. U.S. Pat. No. 5,884,289, invented by Anderson, entitled “Debit Card Fraud Detection And Control System”
This Anderson patent describes a computer based system that alerts financial institutions (FIs) to undetected multiple debit card fraud conditions in their debit card bases by scanning and analyzing cardholder debit fraud information entered by financial institution (FI) participants. The result of this analysis is the possible identification of cardholders who have been defrauded but have not yet realized it, so they are “at risk” of additional fraudulent transactions. The system also identifies “at risk” cards in the criminal's possession which have not yet been used. The system's early identification of these “at risk” cardholders helps limit losses to individual FIs and the FI community at large. It also provides the coordinated information necessary to the speedy apprehension of the perpetrators.
4. U.S. Pat. No. 6,181,814, invented by Carney, entitled “Check Fraud Detection Techniques Using Encrypted Payee Information”
The Carney patent discloses a system and method for detecting and thus preventing check fraud utilizing a digital computer with image capture and interpretation systems. The system converts the payee information, issue date and the MICR line information (account number, check number and dollar amount) to a check digit which is then placed into the MICR line of a check, printed on its face or transmitted via the paid issuance file to the drawee bank. The drawee bank, upon presentment utilizes a transformation algorithm to convert the printed payee information and issue date on the check into a numerical value that is combined with MICR line information and a check digit is calculated based upon pre-agreed logic. This unique data processing system quickly confirms properly presented checks while effectively precludes payee and other alterations in a cost effective manner.
5. U.S. Pat. No. 5,890,141, invented by Carney, entitled “Check Alteration Detection System And Method”
This Carney patent covers a system and method for detecting and thus preventing check fraud utilizing a digital computer with image capture and interpretation systems. The system converts the payee information, issue date and the MICR line information (account number, check number and dollar amount) to a check digit which is then placed into the MICR line of a check, printed on its face or transmitted via the paid issuance file to the drawee bank. The drawee bank, upon presentment utilizes a transformation algorithm to convert the printed payee information and issue date on the check into a numerical value that is combined with MICR line information and a check digit is calculated based upon pre-agreed logic. This unique data processing system quickly confirms properly presented checks while effectively precludes payee and other alterations in a cost effective manner.
6. U.S. Pat. No. 6,073,121, invented by Ramzy, entitled “Check Fraud Prevention System”
The Ramzy patent discloses a method which improves check fraud prevention systems both in printing and verifying checks at their entry points. The method operates by printing on each issued check, a line of encrypted machine-only readable symbols such as a bar-code that contains all the information printed on the check, using a special, key-selectable encryption algorithm. When a check is presented to a bank teller or a cashier, a required, modified reader/decoder device connected to a computer, will read the line of encrypted data and identify a fraudulent check for rejection. The method requires primarily computer software additions and changes. Expensive replacement of existing equipment is avoided.
7. U.S. Pat. No. 5,896,298, invented by Richter, entitled “System And Method For Providing Central Notification Of Issued Items”
The Richter patent describes a system for, and method of, providing advance notification of issued items. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a data collection subsystem that gathers data regarding the issued items from an entity having issued items and transmits the data in a prescribed form and (2) a data storage and communication subsystem, including a central database, that receives the data from the data collection subsystem, combines the data with data gathered from other entities having issued items, stores the combined data in the central database and provides access of the central database to a potential item recipient thereby to allow the potential item recipient to receive advance notification as to whether an item to be received by the potential item recipient was properly issued.
8. U.S. Pat. No. 6,070,141, invented by Houvener, entitled “System And Method Of Assessing The Quality Of An Identification Transaction Using An Identification Quality Score”
In the patent to Houvener, a system and method of assessing the quality of an identification transaction is disclosed. The method includes the following steps: registering a plurality of persons to be identified by providing at least two identification information (ID) units corresponding to each person and storing the ID units in an identification database; assigning an identification quality score to each ID unit; presenting a first ID unit to initiate a transaction where identification is desired; inputting the first ID unit into a point of identification (POI) terminal; establishing a communications link between the POI terminal and the identification database; transmitting the first ID unit to the identification database; searching the identification database and retrieving at least one second ID unit stored in the identification database along with the identification quality score(s) assigned to the retrieved second ID unit(s); transmitting the second ID unit(s) to the POI terminal; displaying the second ID unit(s) and their associated identification quality score(s) on a POI terminal display; comparing the displayed second ID unit with a corresponding second ID unit physically presented by the person being identified; acknowledging a match by entering a command into the POI terminal; storing first, second ID units and transaction information as a transaction record; and adjusting identification quality scores based on historical data.
For the purposes of example, the first above-listed patent to Gopinathan describes a system which uses a “neural network” to evaluate individual customer accounts and identify potentially fraudulent transactions based on learned relationships among known variables. To accomplish the foregoing, the system utilizes a great quantity of data, including account holders' typical frequency of purchases at specific times of the day or week, and in specific geographic areas.
However, the Gopinathan system is primarily designed to prevent credit card fraud, at a juncture prior to the account holder realizing a card has been lost or stolen. Moreover, the Gopinathan system does not function to collect or analyze information relating to particular non-account holders who may be engaging in fraudulent or criminal activity.
The other aforementioned prior art patents illustrate various systems relating to anti-fraud systems, including other systems designed to prevent or detect credit and debit card fraud, systems relating to unauthorized automatic teller machine transactions, and several inventions relating to encryption devices incorporated into checks and instruments themselves.
In contrast to all of the above, the present invention utilizes a database of information relating to transactions of non-account holders who present checks and other instruments for payment. The system collects and tracks the frequency of particular aspects of the subject's behavior, and flags deviations from same to indicate possible fraudulent behavior. In the preferred mode, the system includes a teller collecting information from the non-account holder, including name, date of birth, address, gender, driver's license number, social security number, and/or telephone number. Such data is submitted to the main system database, and the database returns a response code based upon criteria established by the financial institution. Thus, the system alerts tellers to suspicious activity, such as when a particular account is accessed more than once in a day, or when the same non-account holder presents items for payment at multiple branches of a banking institution in a short period of time.
As previously noted, the present invention is a fraud detection and security system for banking institutions. More particularly, the invention is a system that utilizes a secure database of information relating to financial transactions of non-account holders who present checks and other instruments for payment.
The system is designed to collect and track the frequency of particular aspects of the subject's behavior, and to flag significant deviations from such norms for the purpose of indicating that fraudulent or criminal behavior may be occurring. At such time, the teller or other employee with whom the subject is dealing may stop the transaction , to the benefit of the financial institution and account holder. Importantly, the system also allows for law enforcement personnel to conveniently detect related transactions, or a string of criminal activity form the same perpetrator.
In the preferred mode of operation, the system includes a teller collecting information from the non-account holder, including name, date of birth, address, gender, driver's license number, social security number, and/or telephone number. At the time of the transaction, such data is submitted to the main system database, and the database returns a response code to the submitting teller based upon criteria established by the financial institution's desired security measures. The above may be accomplished by the installation of new software or by the integration of at least one custom program. As such, the system alerts tellers and the like to suspicious activity, such as when a particular account is accessed more than once in a day, or when the same non-account holder presents items for payment at multiple branches of a banking institution in an unusually short period of time.
Therefore, in total, the system functions to arm all subscribing financial institutions with information necessary to allow their employees to make appropriate decisions when conducting financial transactions.
To understand both the need for the present system and the unique effectiveness it provides, it is important to first consider the nature of certain fraudulent practices regarding banks and financial institutions. Generally, organized crime rings exist worldwide and participate in a variety of financial-related criminal behavior. In addition to the counterfeiting of written instruments, such organizations participate in stealing legitimate financial instruments, forging or altering them, and cashing them without any method in place to prevent such losses. The fraud rings often utilize fictitious identification for such purposes, and even contract with legitimate persons with legitimate identification to conduct their legitimate transactions for a fee. On a consistent and regular basis, then, the organizations cash stolen and forged written instruments worldwide without protection for the account holders of the financial institutions.
Based on the foregoing, the rationale behind the system of the present invention is relatively simple—it is not normal for an individual to present a check or other written financial instrument to more than one financial institution in the same day, or to multiple branches of the same institution in the same day.
Furthermore, it is not normal for the same account holder's account to be accessed multiple times during the same day, at the same branch or at multiple branches of the same financial institution. The present invention is specifically designed to track these occurrences and alert the institution to the possible fraudulent activity.
As noted in
Commencing the procedure, a non-account holder presents a check or other instrument for payment to a bank or other financial institution. In this context, a non-account holder is defined as a person or business that does not maintain an account at the financial institution at which he or she appears for the transaction. A teller or other representative of the financial institution briefly reviews the item presented, and, importantly, requests additional information from the non-account holder.
The additional information collected from non-account holder includes the person's name, date of birth, address, gender, driver's license number, social security number, and/or telephone number. Such represents a deviation from the ordinary method in which a teller receives an item for payment, which usually incorporates the production of a driver's license or identification card only.
Moreover, information relating to the account holder is collected, including but not limited to that person or company's name, account number, financial institution name, and transaction amount.
The teller or representative then submits this collected information to a main system secure database. This is a fundamental deviation from the ordinary manner in which non-account holders present items for payment, as no such information is tracked using current systems. Such occurs during the attempted transaction, and is intended to take place in a very short period of time, without the knowledge of the non-account holder.
It is important to note, however, that with the acceptance of the present invention and its rise in popularity in the financial industry, non-account holders will likely become aware of the presence of such enhanced anti-fraud measures, which will act as a deterrent to a variety of forms of fraud and criminal activity.
As previously noted, the secure main system database stores, tracks, and archives all such information received from the tellers and representatives of all institutions that participate in the system. Such institutions may be international or global in nature, as the system is suitable for usage in connection with all forms of currency and all languages.
At the stage of the attempted transaction at which the teller transmits the collected information to the database, the database performs a precise, previously-determined function. Such will include an automatic search and evaluation based upon the information submitted.
For the purposes of example only, the function performed by the database may be determining if a particular account has been accessed more than once during the day of the attempted transaction. Similarly, the function may be determining if a particular account has been accessed in excess of a certain number of times within a certain number of days.
Importantly, in this context, the precise formulas and criteria for determining possible fraudulent behavior may be set by the particular bank or financial institution in question. Thus, each bank that is a participant in the system will be given significant latitude in setting the standards and methods by which possible unauthorized activity is evaluated.
Furthermore, also for the purposes of example only, the function performed by the database may be determining if the same non-account holder has presented items for payment at multiple branches of a banking institution in an unusually short period of time. Such is similarly considered a deviation form ordinary banking practices, resulting in a situation that requires greater attention and evaluation.
Regardless of the means by which possible fraudulent activity is measured, the secure main system database returns response code to the submitting teller based upon the criteria established by the financial institution's desired security measures.
The teller or representative is then able to make an appropriate decision based upon the particular response code received from the system. For the purposes of example, this decision may first incorporate stopping the attempted transaction, so that the account holder's funds are not disbursed absent additional investigation or review. Moreover, the teller or representative may inform a head teller or manager of the situation, and may also contact on-site security regarding same.
If warranted from the type of response code received from the system, the teller or representative may also contact the account holder on who's account is being drawn, such as for the purpose of confirming or denying whether the attempted transaction is authorized. Next, if appropriate given the type of response code received from the system, the teller or representative may also contact law enforcement personnel for additional investigation and/or apprehension of the non-account holder.
Finally, regarding law enforcement, it is imperative to note that the system allows for a highly convenient means to detect related fraudulent transactions, as the main system database automatically archives all instances in which the same non-account holder attempts to present items for payment. As such, the system provides a previously-unavailable means to uncover a string of criminal activity from the same perpetrator, regardless of the date, time, or location of such prior fraudulent activities.
In all such instances, the system uniquely functions to arm the teller or representative with the extent of information necessary to make important decisions in a quick and highly convenient manner. The result of such decisions will consistently be protection of the account holder's funds, as well as significant mitigation of the financial institution's losses due to fraud and criminal activity.
