We left Mesa yesterday and drove to Quartzsite, AZ. We parked in an area about 6 miles north of the town near Plomosa Road. There is no charge to stay here, but technically we can only stay for 14 days without moving. Talking with some of the regulars leads us to believe that no one really checks to see how long you are in one spot so it's really not an issue. Our first day has not been without its adjustment challenges. We used far more power than I expected last night and our solar panels could not recharge the batteries without help from the generator. I have determined that a large part of the problem is the fact that the panels are laying flat on the roof with no way to tilt them toward the sun. The sun never gets more than about 45 degrees above the horizon this time of year so we are only getting about half the amount of power the panels are capable of producing. Tomorrow we will visit some of the solar dealers in town to see what mounting systems they have available. We really do not want to run the generator any more than necessary. The other issue that really could become problematic is the lack of a gas oven. We have known this would be an issue, but it is really coming to the forefront. The only way for us to bake or roast is to start the generator and use the convection oven. Right now it is not too much of a problem since we need to run the generator to fully charge the batteries, but it will become an issue when we get the solar panels putting out more. We know how to fix the problem. All it takes is money! While in town today we wandered through one of the sales areas. The town is full of what can best be described as swap meets. Lots of booths set up under tents, selling lots of stuff. Fun to browse anyway.

A look at the career of MK Dons' newest signing, Ben Gladwin... Worked with Williams During his time with Swindon Town, Ben Gladwin worked alongside current MK Dons Assistant Manager Luke Williams. The duo spent two years together at The County Ground with Gladwin speaking highly of Williams on his arrival to Stadium MK. While with Swindon, Gladwin shared a dressing room with Ryan Harley with the duo playing alongside each other on a number of occasions. Despite spending time in the prestigious Reading FC Academy, Gladwin would find his first taste of football in the Non-League. The 27-year-old would spend time with AFC Wallingford, Windsor & Elton, Burnham, Hayes & Yeading United, Burnham and Reading Town. The Midfielder also featured for Marlow, where he would move into professional football earning a move to Swindon Town. After impressing over the course of two seasons with Swindon Town, Gladwin earned himself a move to QPR for a fee reported to be £3.5m. The midfielder would play 14 Sky Bet Championship games for The Rs, while he also spent time on loan at Bristol City and Swindon during his loan spell at Loftus Road. Experience in League One Throughout the course of his career, Gladwin has racked up over 80 Sky Bet League One appearances and 15 Sky Bet Championship games. He has also scored 12 goals in England’s Third Tier, a record that is coupled with 14 assists. His best season in front of goal came back in 2014/15, with Gladwin netting 11 goals in 41 games – including play-offs.

I’ve been working on the buggy, and work has been very busy so the updates have been slow. As of now, I’ve got the seat in the correct spot, the brake pedal mounted and the orbital valve with steering column and removable steering wheel. The radiator mounts have been made, and all of the links are tacked in place. Following are some pictures, just so my friends know I’m actually working on this. The front upper shock mounts are changing, I don’t like how they sit.

It’s time to make my annual NFL predictions! This is what I think will happen, not what I hope happens. Last year I predicted the Steelers over Chargers in AFC and Eagles over Vikings in NFC, with the Eagles over the Steelers in the Super Bowl. I was quite wrong on everything except the Vikings losing the NFC title game, so I’m going to stick with that again this season. I’m going to pick the Chargers to make a Super Bowl appearance… it would be just LT’s luck, the year he signs with the Jets. AFC East: Jets AFC North: Ravens AFC South: Colts AFC West: Chargers AFC Wild Cards: Patriots, Texans NFC East: Cowboys NFC North: Packers NFC South: Saints NFC West: 49ers NFC Wild Cards: Vikings, Giants AFC Championship: Chargers over Jets NFC Championship: Packers over Vikings in OT Super Bowl: Packers over Chargers MVP: Aaron Rodgers Anyone else have a prediction they’d like to share in the comments?

This is a rich fudgey dessert. Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup and your guests will think they’re at a restaurant! Click here to view/print this recipe! I was at a Christmas Cookie/Candy exchange over the weekend, and I heard one of the women say “I made Pretzel Turtles.” I said “Oh, I made those last week! They’re great!” She said “Yeah, but they took forever… seemed like I spent all day making them!” I said “Mine used Rolo candy… did yours?” She hesitantly said “No…. I grated some pecans into foil muffin cups and put a pretzel on top of it. Then I melted the caramel mixture together and put it on the pretzel. I had to wait for that to set up before I could melt the chocolate and put it on top of the caramel. Then I pressed a pecan half on the chocolate.” You should have seen her face when I told her about my recipe and how quick and easy it was. She said forget her recipe… she was making mine next time!! I saw this recipe years ago in some ladies magazine. But just now got around to trying it. What a great candy this makes for the holidays! I personally like the salty-sweet combination from the pretzels and chocolate. Click here to view/print this recipe! The first time I tried White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookies (WCCMNC, for short) was at Subway, the sandwich shop chain. I was hooked! When my kids sold frozen cookie dough as a fund-raiser for school or sports teams, the WCCMNC dough was always the most popular. My friend Lesa said “If your kids sell WCCMNC dough again, let me know… I’ll buy some!” In spite of the fact that everyone seems to like them, I don’t know anyone who makes homemade WCCMNC. There are all kinds of cookie recipes floating around, but none for WCCMNC. I don’t know why that is? Maybe because they can be expensive to make and people don’t want to take a chance on messing them up? So I determined to come up with an awesome recipe. And I’m happy to say I did! I did my research on the internet, looking for recipes and reading the comments people made about them. What ingredients worked, what didn’t, and why. Armed with all those opinions, ideas and recipes, I put the best of all of them together for my recipe. Then it was on to the kitchen to test the recipe with a few ingredient variables. My expectation was that I wasn’t going to find much of a difference, but boy, was I wrong! The first variable was real butter vs. a margarine/shortening mix. I have very few recipes I actually use real butter in because I haven’t found a big difference in the taste, and margarine is much cheaper. Most of the recipes I found in my research used softened butter. But a lot of people commented that the cookies spread all over the cookie sheet, and they would use a mix of margarine and butter-flavored shortening the next time they made the cookies, because they would keep their shape better with those ingredients. So I wanted to try both options to compare taste and size. The picture above shows the cookie made with margarine/shortening on the left, and butter on the right. I made my cookies using the large cookie scoop from Pampered Chef, so all the cookies got the same amount of dough. You can see that the cookie with butter is bigger, so it did spread more. To prevent the “mess” others got when using butter, I didn’t soften my butter first… I used it straight from the ‘fridge. A little hard on the mixer maybe, but the cookies held their shape great! I was also very surprised at the taste and texture differences between the two cookies. The cookie made with butter was definitely better! I thought I must be imagining it, so I tasted again, making sure I just got cookie… no chocolate or nuts. The butter cookie was obviously better! It was thinner, chewy and crisp. Don’t get me wrong, the margarine cookie was good, and if I didn’t have butter, I’d still make the cookies. But using butter made a superior cookie! The second variable was using white chocolate chips vs. melting chocolate. Melting chocolate is used in candy making, is frequently called Almond Bark, and is cheaper than chocolate chips. Most of the recipes I researched said to use the melting chocolate, not chocolate chips. People who used chips seemed to think it would be better with the melting chocolate. I couldn’t believe there would be that much of a difference between the two, especially if you used a quality chip. In my experience, Nestle and store brand white chocolate chips are waxy and don’t taste much like white chocolate. Hershey’s is my brand of choice for white chocolate chips. I couldn’t find them in two different grocery stores, so I had to “settle” for Ghirardelli chips. Given their reputation, I figured they were a safe bet to be a quality white chocolate chip. And they were very good! But it ended up not mattering, because the almond bark was SO much better in the cookies! It was almost like you couldn’t even taste the chips… they just blended in to the cookie. The almond bark was very creamy, even after the cookies cooled. When you bit into a piece of almond bark, you could definitely taste it… it was almost like a burst of creamy white chocolate! Mmmmmmmm! The melting chocolate came in a 1-1/2 pound slab, for $1.50 from my Wal-Mart SuperCenter. The Ghiradelli chips were on sale for about $3.50 for a 12 ounce bag, at another local grocery store. I made two batches of the cookies using the almond bark, and still have almost a pound left. In case you’re thinking that you’d never use the rest of the slab of almond bark, I’ve got a recipe for you….Oreo Truffles. You can also follow the directions on the wrapper to dip pretzels, dried fruit, nuts and crushed candy canes in the melted chocolate… which could also turn into much-appreciated gifts for the chocolate lover on your list! The macadamia nuts will be the most expensive ingredient… I paid $4.98 at Wal-Mart for an 8.5 ounce can of dry roasted macadamias. I couldn’t find “plain” macadamias, if there is such a thing. But the dry roasted worked fine… I like the sweet cookie/salty nut combination! I tried chopping the macadamias with my food chopper, but that didn’t give me uniform size pieces. It worked best to cut each nut into 3 or 4 pieces with a sharp knife. I got just under 2 C. of chopped nuts that way, so you should be able to get a double batch of cookies from a can like I bought. Another important consideration was how long to bake the cookies. The cookies are still soft when you take them out of the oven, which can lead to a mess when you try to take them off the cookie sheet, let alone put them on the wire cooling rack! So I needed to figure out the baking/cooling options for the best results. I bake cookies using both racks in my oven… one rack goes in the second position from the bottom, and the other goes in the fourth position. If a recipe says to bake cookies for 10 minutes, they go in the oven on the lower shelf for 8 minutes, then I move them to the top shelf for 2 minutes, to finish baking and browning, without burning. When they go to the top shelf, another pan goes in the oven on the lower shelf. So I usually have 2 pans with 2 timers going at once. That method works perfect with these cookies! Once they come out of the oven, they need to sit on the cookie sheet for one to two minutes to finish baking and firm up. Then they are easily moved to the cooling rack. So, based on what I’ve learned in my research and testing, I’m proud to share my recipe for White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies with you. It’s definitely “to die for!” Click here to view/print this recipe! Website News from Nanci Happy Holidays to all of our loyal cooks!

Recipe of the Month Contest Winner Recipe of the Month… Toffee Pecan Bars Our winner this month is Rhea from Bakersfield, CA with her recipe for Toffee Pecan Bars. Perfect for guests, as well as gift-giving! I was surprised at how quick this recipe went together… 10 or 15 minutes, plus baking time. You can’t say that for most desserts! Rhea’s directions said to let it cool overnight before cutting. Of course I was too impatient to wait that long! I waited till it was cool, but not overnight. However, we decided we liked the flavor better the next day. We also liked it better chilled than at room temperature. Rhea also said she preferred to use only half of the bag of toffee chips, because it was too sweet for her otherwise. I used the whole bag when I tried the recipe, and it wasn’t too sweet for us. So you’ll have to use your personal preference there! For a nice touch, cut the bars into triangles or diamonds instead of squares or rectangles. Cut wide squares in half corner-to-corner for triangles. For diamonds, cut the bars straight the length of the pan. Then instead of cutting straight across the width, cut diagonally from top corner to bottom corner. Make diagonal cuts out from there, 1-1/2″ to 2″ wide. You will have a few odd shaped pieces leftover if you cut diamonds, but not with triangles. Hi, I’m Rhea from Bakersfield, CA. I start my Christmas baking in mid September or so and simply make a double batch of whatever I’m baking and freeze the rest. Pre-freezer days, I spent two full days baking at the start of my daughter’s Christmas vacation and was really too beat to enjoy the results. Believe me, freezing is the way to go!! Christmas baking always means cookies to me but then most any food occasion translates as “cookies” to me. I can pass up cake, pie, ice cream, anything but cookies and I’ve never had a bad cookie. I bake cookies most every weekend and always freeze half the batch or they would all be gone before Monday morning and the second half seldom makes it past mid-week! I made these bars for the first time a few years ago and brought them to work. I then forgot about the recipe until one of my co-workers asked why I never made them anymore. I unearthed the recipe and it has become one of my favorites. Buttery, rich, gooey, nuts, toffee pieces – what more could a girl ask for in a cookie? Another co-worker recently retired after 35 years with the department and I made over 20 dozen cookies for her reception. The Toffee Pecan Bars were the first to go (even before my Lemon Bars!) and I ended up making a list of those who wanted the recipe – there were simply too many requests to remember! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Click here to view/print the December Recipe of the Month. You too can get in on the winning! Just post your favorite freeze-able recipe on the message boards. Congratulations, Rhea! Freezer Cook of the Month Contest Winner Our winner this month is Kelli, with a great idea for giving the gift of 30 Day Gourmet! The perfect idea for that hard-to-buy for ________ (insert your favorites here… parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends) who have everything. And you still have time to put a gift-certificate/menu together before the holidays! I have an idea I would like to share with people for the holidays. Last year, I made menus on my computer with different sections for soups & salads, breakfast foods, casseroles, desserts, etc. My parents and both sets of grandparents received the menus for Christmas. Did I mention that my mom now hates to cook for just her and my dad? My grandmother is a widow, and my other sets of grandparents….well, I don’t think she’s cooked since her 5 kids moved out over 40 years ago. Anyway, they got to pick 30 items from the menu. They could mix and match or get 30 of one thing if they wanted. In January, I did the cooking and delivered the meals. They said it was the best gift ever! They were even willing to pay me to make more meals this past summer. Guess what they are getting again this Christmas? The only difference is I am cooking before Christmas this year. I know what everyone likes, so they will actually receive their meals on Christmas day. I tell you, this reduced so much of my stress! I never know what to get for them. They have everything they need. 30 Day Gourmet was the perfect gift, and it was made with love! So, how do you make 30 Day Gourmet work for you? How do you use it to help you deal with a challenge in your life? Do you have a funny story about your cooking day? How do you use it to help others? Click here to send me an email. Congratulation, Kelli!! Thanks for sharing your great idea with us! Our families thank you too! Update to our November 2004 Freezer Cook of the Month winner: After the Nov News went out, I received emails from a couple of people advising me that the USDA recommends you don’t cook a whole chicken from frozen in a slow cooker, because it doesn’t reach a ‘safe’ temperature quick enough, so there’s a concern for food poisoning. We obviously don’t want that! Read what they have to say about it, and decide for yourself if and/or how you want to use this method to cook chicken. Gourmet Q&A from Tammy Q. Ok, I updated my Yahoo preferences to get “daily” emails instead of “digest” so your links will work. But that didn’t help. What else can I do? Thanks! Josey A. Hi Josey! When I answered the question last month about links not working in the Yahoo digest version of our News, I needed to include more information. If you already get the daily emails from Yahoo, and our links are still not working, there is one more setting to change. Sign in to Yahoo, and choose “Edit My Membership”. The last option says: __Convert to HTML. Convert plain-text messages sent to me to HTML. __Do not convert to HTML. Don’t change the format of messages sent to me. Note: The HTML format allows you to see colors and graphics in your messages. You need to choose the first option, “Convert to HTML”. Choosing the HTML option allows all the pictures and links to work in the email. If you do not choose to get your emails HTML, you get a text version, with no pictures and links. So, if you set your account to receive individual emails instead of the digest, and also set it to receive HTML emails, not text, you should be good to go! Hope that helps! And sorry for the incomplete answer last month! Well, that about sums it up for this month! Hope you enjoyed this gift-idea packed issue. Time for me to go finish my holiday baking and also make gift jars for the kids’ teachers! And finish up that Christmas shopping! Click here to send me an email with any questions, ideas, suggestions or problems. I enjoy hearing from you all! Best wishes for you and your family to have a beautiful holiday together! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!

This polka dot midi skirt is such a statement piece and great for Fall and the upcoming holidays! I wore a chunky cream turtleneck sweater tucked into the skirt and layred the sweater with my leather jacket… I’m all about layers (all the time)! I wore my go-to Fall high boots and added a pop of this seasons ‘it’ color, burgundy, with my burgundy velvet handbag. This bag is a copy of the Chanel Boy Bag but this one was $300 instead of $3,000! #winning! I linked the entire look above — plus some of my other fav polka dot finds!

“But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” (1 Peter 3:15) A friend of mine is a new mother and recently she decided to go back to work part-time. With her new job, she has the flexibility of working at home while caring for her newborn. She shared with me that she does not know what to call herself – a working mom or a stay at home mom? I responded to her situation by telling her that she does not need to put herself in a box and choose one or the other. Whether she ‘works’ at home or ‘stays’ at home does not define her. She can live in the tension of doing both and simply call herself a ‘mother’. She felt relieved. As people who live in America, there is pressure to live in extremes rather than in the center of tension. Today, we are more politically polarized than ever. Republicans and Democrats are further apart ideologically and they have strong negative opinions of each other. Fewer Americans share both Rebulican and Democratic positions, there is less compromise and less middle ground. As a result, there is less unity and greater conflict. We have learned to take the polarized attitude spiritually. As a counselor, I have seen people take ‘boundaries’ to extremes and more people completely cut out anyone who has wounded them rather than live in the tension of forgiving and blessing enemies. We are separated by denominational or theological affinity and tend to spend most of our time with people who think and act like us. When it comes to issues which do not have a clear answer in the Bible such as remarriage after divorce, we can pick a view and stay there without acknowledging the possibility of other views. This unhealthy tendency leads to pride, disunity and conflict in the church. I believe we can live polarized lives because we do not like to live in tension and we like to have answers. Does that mean we should not have convictions? Absolutely not. I encourage people to study issues and develop a conviction on issues. However, we must carry an attitude of humility, unity and acceptance of other evangelical convictions. During year 2015 I will be writing on controversial issues such as divorce and remarriage, online dating, birth control and other interesting topics. I encourage you to enter this season with a hunger to learn while carrying an attitude of humility and unity. May we let the only sure, core central truth of the loving, saving work of Jesus Christ be the platform we stand on as we embark this journey together. To kick off the series in FEB, I will be writing on same-sex attraction to go along with the month’s theme of identity. I am gathering input on other subjects to address throughout the year. What topics interests you?

My rating: 2 of 5 stars I had never heard of Joyce Livingston before I picked up this book. In fact before I picked up this book I had never read a Christian Romance. This made for a completely new experience for me. First of all, I need to delve into a little personal religion. I am not religious. With that in mind, it might be an idea to take this review with a grain of salt, and please understand that this is my opinion on this book. I will endeavor, as always, to be objective. Alaskan Midnight is a compilation of four short stories involving four main couples (thought the first story actually follows two couples). All of the characters know each other and become friends by the end of the novel. The romance plot lines are all very, well normal romance plot lines, easy to follow, easy to see where the author is going with it, but still enjoyable. I couldn’t relate to many of the women in these stories. Victoria was way too overprotective, Glorianna was a bit oversensitive for me, Tina came off as just plain stupid (though I sort of understand why, it still annoyed me). And Jackie…well I guess you could call her the one I understood the most, but I still don’t see why she couldn’t just tell him “Screw you!” and forget him when he did that to her (but hey, we had our happy ending). The Christian element in this book is that every single one of the characters either comes back to God, finds God, or is already saved by Him. The author writes the act of coming to God as a big factor in whether or not the romantic relationships will work out. Which if you’re a Christian is a very nice touch in this book, however if you’re not Christian, then you’ll probably just think “ok, its probably good that both these people have the same level of religion/have the same religion” and leave it at that. I must admit this book was a bit of a genre-shock for me, having never read a religious romance. I’m still not entirely sure what I think of this genre and I don’t want to judge the genre on just one book. Though I’m not likely to read this book again, I am interested enough to read more Christian Romance books.

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Though it Is known that cardioprotection enhances myocardial survival and stem cell (SC) recruitment, whether the gene/miRNA networks involved in cardioprotection promote SC-mediated cardiac repair is unknown. Moreover, whether miRNA exert their effects primarily in myocardial cells or in injected SC, and to what extent transfer of miRNA from one cell type to another is required for cardiac repair is unknown. This critical gap in knowledge prevents development of therapeutic strategies employing manipulation of protective gene/miRNA networks and SC. The central hypothesis is that expression of protective genes and repression of apoptotic genes, mediated by the gene/miRNA network, underlies enhanced myocardial survival, improved survival and function of injected mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), and positive effects upon the heart post-MI. The rationale is that by addressing this hypothesis, we will learn which miRNAs are effective, the site and mechanism of their action. We propose two SPECIFIC AIMS; 1) Determine the role and mechanism of NF- ?B-dependent microRNAs that regulate pro-survival genes in cardioprotection and MSC survival/regeneration, and 2) Determine the role and mechanism of NF- ?B-dependent microRNAs regulating pro cell death genes in cardioprotection and MSC survival/regeneration. The approach is gain-and loss-of-function in cardiac cells and MSC, and in vivo, using murine models of I/R injury. Labelled RNAs and real-time video imaging will allow study of miRNA transfer from one cell to another, and the results of this at the gene expression and functional levels assessed. Cardioprotection, delivery of RNA therapeutics, and SC are being pursued in clinical trials. However, the specific combinations of these studied herein, have not been explored but are feasible. The proposed research is highly significant in that it will allow us to understand the regulatory role of miRNAs and their target genes, and to employ this knowledge in identifying therapeutic targets and developing small RNA therapeutics. This proposal is innovative in that is addresses a novel hypothesis, based upon our unique preliminary data, and incorporates the novel concept that activation of protective pathways in the myocardium will enhance survival/function of injected SC. We leverage our unique knowledge of gene/miRNA networks that result in cardioprotection for the purpose of protecting MSC in the inhospitable environment of the ischemic heart. Other novel aspects are, investigation of the role played by miRNA transfer from cell-to-cell, and use of an innovative non-viral in vivo transfection technology for small RNAs.

There can be no denying that Holy Communion is now almost universally received in the hand and that this has been the case since shortly after the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council. Note, however, that there is no mention whatever of Communion in the hand in the documents of Vatican II. In fact, Cardinal L Suenens first introduced the practice illicitly in Belgium in the mid 1960s from whence it spread quickly to Holland, Germany and France. When the abuse came to the notice of Pope Paul VI in 1969, he issued Memoriale Domini ruling out universal change to the Church’s method of administering Holy Communion on the tongue to kneeling communicants. In this document the Pope expressed his sadness that Communion in the hand had been introduced in some places without either his knowledge or the Church’s consent. Subsequently, Pope John Paul II twice indicated the irregularity of this practice as a universal norm. In Dominicae Cenae (Feb. 1980), he stated: “To touch the sacred species and to distribute them with their own hands is a privilege of the ordained.” Then, in Inaestimabile Donum (April, 1980), Pope John Paul wrote: "It is not permitted that the faithful should themselves pick up the consecrated bread and the sacred chalice, still less that they should hand them from one to another." Pope Benedict XVI now shows by his own example how the Apostolic See wishes Holy Communion to be administered. At his Papal Masses the faithful are obliged to kneel and receive on the tongue from HIS hand, not their own. In fact, no post-conciliar Pope has approved, much less promoted, the novelty of Communion in the hand. Papal toleration is not the same as papal approval! That ought to be sufficient to make priests and the faithful reflect seriously on what they do. Sadly, though, an attitude has manifested itself since the Second Vatican Council whereby many now see the Church as a democratic rather than a divine autocratic institution, claiming that it is best served by acceding to the wishes of the majority rather than being led by the Pope with the infallible guidance of the Holy Ghost in matters pertaining to universal faith and morals. Did you miss this article the first time around? It appeared in The Remnant back in 2012. Subscribe today! There are some in positions of authority within the Vatican itself who are also of this mindset, and who have set about their agenda for change by restricting the extent to which the Catholic Faith is taught. For example, when religious instruction was on the curriculum in Catholic schools, children were taught about the faith – how and why Christ came to earth, His Revelations, His Passion and Death on the Cross, His Ascension into heaven and the provisions He made for the growth of Christianity. Given the suffering that Our Lord went through in order to redeem our souls, and the greatness of our debt to Him, it is clear that no Catholic should come into His presence without genuflecting, and no Catholic should receive Him in Holy Communion without kneeling down in reverence. It ought to go without saying that no lay Catholic should ever consider touching the Blessed Sacrament with his hands. Such was the teaching throughout history up to 1960. Religious Instruction was then suddenly changed to Religious Education and a new programme imposed teaching children to explore the different religions as if they were all equally valid means for attaining eternal life. Did not Our Lady of Fatima speak of 1960 as the latest date by which the Third Secret was to be revealed, because then, as Sister Lucy said, the world would better understand what it meant? The year is significant. At any rate, an indicator of the success of the new strategy is reflected in a U.S. gallop poll of a few years ago recording just 30% of U.S. Catholics now believing in Our Lord’s True Presence. The other 70% had either various shades of Protestant belief or no belief at all. This situation can only have come about through ignorance – through simply obscuring the facts. How has this been allowed to happen? It wasn’t just allowed to happen – it was deliberately brought about. It is down to the drive for ecumenism and the agenda of some to create a global religion under the control of a single leader. It was indeed Christ’s intention, when He instructed the Apostles to “Go and Teach all nations, and baptize them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost”, for there to be one global religion – the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church – but certain power-brokers behind the scenes at the Vatican have a different model in mind. Amongst the chief obstacles preventing the success of their plans, however, are the Mass of all Ages, and the Real Presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. The only way for them to overcome these obstacles is to debase the ancient Catholic Liturgy, from which man gains the grace to resist temptation and evil, and to destroy belief in the Real Presence. The Novus Ordo Mass was specifically written to be inoffensive to Protestants by removing all mentions of it being a Sacrifice, and replacing that doctrine with one of it being a mere commemoration banquet or “celebration of the Lord’s supper,” as it is now widely known. This part of the undermining is now very well entrenched, and few Catholics realise what has befallen them. As for belief in the Real Presence, that doctrine is no longer taught in Catholic schools, and respect for Our Lord is being undermined by discouraging genuflections and kneeling in His presence, and by encouraging Catholics to handle His body as if it were no more than “blessed bread.” The longer this deception is allowed to go on, the more likely it is to become accepted as the truth. Before long, only a very few Catholics will be left who have any true conception of the Catholic Faith as it was handed down unaltered through the centuries up to 1960. If this tide of indifferentism is to be reversed, three important things have to happen. These are the restoration of the Mass of all Ages, with its emphasis on Sacrifice, restoring respect for Our Lord by fostering belief in the Real Presence, and the daily recitation of the rosary. Pope Benedict XVI has already made a start by showing us that Holy Communion should only be received kneeling and on the tongue. When will the Catholic world begin following Peter’s lead?

The secret is out! Ed Sheeran was in Dubai last night to perform his last concert of 2017! My friends and I managed to get our hands on the tickets all the way back in May, so it has been a pretty long wait. But as they say “Good things come to those who wait”, only in this case “Great things happen to those who wait.” It was so refreshing to see such a down to earth singer who just simply relied on his amazing voice to win over a sell-out crowd. No dancers or bands required, as just a loop pedal, a guitar and a pretty amazing voice is all that is required to make it a night to remember! I have always been a huge fan of Ed Sheeran songs, but this was probably the first time I enjoyed the ‘live version’ even better. He sang for 2 hours straight, and not once did the energy level drop. It did not matter how old anyone was. Everyone knew the words to all his songs and probably discovered a new found love for the talented singer. As the man says himself … “people fall in love in mysterious ways“. Ed Sheeran wasn’t the only one performing last night though. The doors to the venue opened at 6pm with ‘Lauv’ as the special guest (I have discovered so many new names in the last week thanks to teens … now I know who Logan Paul AND Lauv are). But sadly, as Lauv took to the stage, I was still stuck in a traffic jam wondering if that was Ed Sheeran in the car next to us with tinted windows. We really underestimated how busy the traffic would be closer to 10pm (which is when Ed Sheeran was supposed to perform). But luckily, thanks to some really skillful driving, we made it to the venue by 9:45pm. We were so convinced there would be a delay in Ed’s performance, we decided to buy some snacks first. But lo and behold, as soon as the clock struck 10, out came a pretty well-known ginger singer strumming his guitar. I couldn’t believe my ears (not eyes, coz I’m buying snacks at this point remember?). I made a run for it as my #instastories were depending on it. And so began a night to remember …. Time to let the videos do the rest of the talking now … Thank you Ed Sheeran for such an amazing performance! It was worth every penny spent on the ticket and every minute spent being stuck in a jam. I was also pretty impressed with your guitar skills considering you just got out of a cast recently. #Respect. Which was the last concert you went to? Until the next post, ‘Let’s Keep it Strictly Lighthearted!‘

AVELLUM represented Česká Exportní Banka AVELLUM successfully represented Česká Exportní Banka, a.s. (“ČEB”) in (i) a number of litigations against a Ukrainian corporate borrower in connection with attempts of illegal transfer of mortgaged real estate assets securing USD 37 million loan and (ii) a sale of the relevant loan and security claims. In the course of the proceedings, AVELLUM assisted ČEB in challenging unlawful decisions of state registrars and local authorities, as well as resisting counter-claims brought by the borrower. Effective defense of the ČEB’s interests in Ukrainian courts allowed ČEB to preserve mortgaged real estate assets securing the ČEB’s loan. Positive outcome of the court proceedings ultimately enabled ČEB to sell relevant loan and security claims under the loan on favorable terms. The AVELLUM team responsible for litigation – was led by partner Dmytro Marchukovwith support from senior associate Serhii Uvarov and associates Andriy Fortunenkoand Anna Vlasenko, and the team responsible for the sale of loan claims – was led by senior partner Glib Bondar and counsel Igor Lozenko with support from associate Tetiana Mykhailenko.

Koufax dominated the 1965 World Series as no other pitcher before or since, capturing MVP honors in leading the Dodgers to the title On Wednesday night at Minute Maid Park in Houston, the host Astros will battle the Washington Nationals for the 2019 championship of Major League Baseball. The first modern World Series was held all the way back in 1903 and has been conducted every year since 1905, with the notable exception of the 1994 season when the Fall Classic was cancelled due to a player’s strike. Since 1922, the World Series has always been contested in a best-of-seven games format. That has not always been the case. The very first series in 1903 and again each year from 1919-21, there was a best-of nine games format utilized. None of those went the distance. This will mark the 44th time (over 38%) that the Fall Classic has gone the ultimate full distance. On three occasions, there was a tie game in the series. Those took place in 1907, 1912, and in 1922. That 1912 series was notable in that it went a full seven games and also included one ending in a tie, so eight games were actually played. The longest stretch that MLB has gone without enjoying a Game 7 in the World Series was in the decade between the 2002 and 2011 seasons. The most consecutive Game 7’s occurred between 1955-58 when the drama went the distance in four straight years. From 1952-75 there was a halcyon period in which 15 (62.5%) decisive Game 7’s took place. Here are my selections as the Top 20 Game 7’s in World Series history, with a brief synopsis. You’ll note that I haven’t chosen to rank them, but rather they are presented in reverse chronological order. Every one was a fantastic finish to the season. Feel free to leave a comment or response on social media with your own favorite. 2016: Cubs – 8, Indians – 7 (10 innings) The Cubs were under the ‘Curse of the Billy Goat‘ for more than 70 years at this point, and had not won a World Series since 1908. They bolted to a 5-1 lead in the 5th inning, but the Indians roared back. The host Tribe got a two-out RBI double from Brandon Guyer and two-run homer by Rajai Davis off Aroldis Chapman to tie it up in the bottom of the 8th. The game rolled into extra innings, and Chicago scored twice in the top of the 10th for an 8-6 lead. The Indians were still not finished, with Davis delivering an RBI single to make it a one-run game. But Mike Montgomery got Michael Martinez to ground out, third baseman Kris Bryant firing to first baseman Anthony Rizzo to finally end the curse and bring the Cubbies and their long-suffering fans a world championship. 2014: Giants – 3, Royals – 2 Five of the previous six games in this Fall Classic had been blowouts, with only the Royals 3-2 win in Game 3 as a tight affair. This one would be won for the Giants by a fantastic five-inning relief performance from ace lefty Madison Bumgarner, who had previously won Games 1 and 5 as the starting pitcher. A one-out RBI single in the top of the 4th inning by Mike Morse off Kelvin Herrera scored Pablo Sandoval, breaking a 2-2 with what would prove the series-winning run. Bumgarner shut the Royals out on two hits over those final five frames, getting Salvador Perez to pop out with the potential tying run at third base for the final out. 2001: Diamondbacks – 3, Yankees – 2 The Yankees were the three-time defending World Series champions, and they took a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the 9th inning at Bank One Ballpark in Phoenix. There, manager Joe Torre turned the game over to living legend closer Mariano Rivera, one of the greatest postseason pitchers in baseball history. But the host Dbacks refused to lay down and go quietly. Tony Womack ripped a one-out RBI double to tie the game. Then, in one of the most dramatic endings of all-time, Luis Gonzalez looped a series-winning single to center, scoring Jay Bell with the walkoff run as the home crowd went crazy in celebration of the only World Series title in Arizona history. 1997: Marlins – 3, Indians – 2 (11 innings) In just their fifth season of existence, the Florida Marlins became the first since MLB instituted Wildcard playoff teams for the 1994 season to reach the World Series and also the first to win it all. The Indians were kept from their first World Series crown since 1948, a streak that has now reached 72 years. In this one, the host Tribe led 2-1 into the bottom of the 9th inning. Craig Counsell‘s RBI sac fly off Jose Mesa brought Moises Alou home with the game-tying run, sending the contest to extra-innings. In the bottom of the 11th, Edgar Renteria walked it off with a two-out, bases loaded single that barely ticked off pitcher Charles Nagy‘s glove, scoring Counsell with the series-winning run. 1991: Twins – 1, Braves – 0 (10 innings) The only Game 7 in World Series to go scoreless into extra innings took place at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minnesota. For the visiting Braves, John Smoltz went 7.1 shutout innings, allowing just six hits and one walk in a brilliant performance. Unfortunately he was out-dueled by a fellow future Hall of Famer, as Jack Morris went the distance for the host Twins. Morris shut the Braves out, scattering seven hits over 10 innings for the win. Dan Gladden led off the bottom of the 10th with a double off Atlanta reliever Alejandro Pena and moved to third base on a ground out. After back-to-back intentional walks to Chuck Knoblauch and Kirby Puckett loaded the bases, Gene Larkin walked it off with a series-winning base hit. 1987: Twins – 4, Cardinals – 2 Lefty Frank Viola gave the host Twins a strong eight innings on the mound at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome and the home team would rally from an early deficit for the victory. Kirby Puckett‘s RBI double tied the game up at 2-2 in the bottom of the 5th inning. Three of the first four batters in the bottom of the 6th each worked walks to load the bases, and Greg Gagne then produced an RBI single to put the Twins up 3-2 with what would prove the series-winning run. With two outs in the home 8th, Dan Gladden doubled off Cardinals closer Todd Worrell to drive in an insurance run. Twins closer Jeff Reardon coaxed Willie McGee to ground out, with third baseman Gary Gaetti firing across to first baseman Kent Hrbek to wrap the first World Series title since the franchise moved to Minnesota for the 1961 season. As the Washington Senators, they had previously won it all just once, back in 1924 in another seven-gamer that you will find listed below. 1982: Cardinals – 6, Brewers – 3 At Busch Stadium in Saint Louis, the visiting Milwaukee Brewers were looking for the first world championship in franchise history. Formed originally as the expansion Seattle Pilots in 1969, the franchise had moved to Milwaukee for the 1970 season. This version of the team was nicknamed “Harvey’s Wallbangers” after manager Harvey Kuenn, and they took a 3-1 lead in the top of the 5th inning when future Hall of Famer Paul Molitor delivered an RBI single and later scored another run on a Cecil Cooper base hit. But Keith Hernandez tied it with a two-run single in the bottom of that inning, and George Hendrick followed with an RBI single to give Saint Louis a 4-3 lead. The host Cards tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the 8th, and future Hall of Fame pitcher Bruce Sutter closed it out with a 1-2-3 inning in the top of the 9th inning. The Brewers remain one of seven current MLB teams to never win the World Series, a list that the Nationals will try to knock down to six in tonight’s game. 1979: Pirates – 4, Orioles – 1 For the second time in the decade, the Pittsburgh Pirates and Baltimore Orioles were battling in a World Series Game 7. These “We Are Family” Pirates had rallied from a 3-1 series deficit, forcing this decisive game at Memorial Park in Baltimore. Trailing 1-0 in the top of the 6th inning, future Hall of Famer Willie Stargell crushed a two-run homer off Scott McGregor to put the Pirates on top. The Bucs would add a pair of insurance runs in the top of the 9th inning, and closer Kent Tekulve would shut the Orioles down in order in the bottom of the frame. The 39-year-old Stargell delivered four hits for the Pirates and was honored as the World Series MVP. 1975: Reds – 4, Red Sox – 3 The day after Carlton Fisk‘s historic 12th inning walkoff home run had tied the World Series at three games apiece, the visiting ‘Big Red Machine’ would battle back to win at Fenway Park in one of the most exciting Game 7’s in baseball history. An RBI single from future Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski gave host Boston an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the 3rd inning. Reds starter Don Gullett then walked in a pair of runs later in the frame, and the Bosox had a 3-0 lead. It was beginning to appear as if the 57-year-old ‘Curse of the Bambino‘ was about to be broken. In the top of the 6th with Johnny Bench aboard, Tony Perez drilled a clutch two-out, two-run homer off Bill Lee to cut the Reds deficit to 3-2. Then with two outs and two on in the top of the 7th, Pete Rose RBI single scored Ken Griffey with the tying run. The game went to the top of the 9th inning still tied at 3-3 when, with two outs, Joe Morgan‘s looping RBI single scored Griffey to push the Reds in front by 4-3. Southpaw Will McEnaney set Boston down in order in the bottom of the 9th, getting Yaz on a fly ball to end it. 1972: Athletics – 3, Reds – 2 Two great dynasties of the 1970’s were meeting here. The A’s would win three straight World Series titles from 1971-73, and the ‘Big Red Machine’ would capture back-to-back championships in 1975-76. The first five games in this Fall Classic were each decided by a single run. In Game 7 at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, the two teams were tied at 1-1 into the 6th inning. There, Gene Tenace and Sal Bando ripped back-to-back two-out RBI doubles to push the “Swingin’ A’s” out to a 3-1 lead. Tony Perez sac fly off Rollie Fingers scored Pete Rose with a run to make it a 3-2 game in the bottom of the 8th inning. Then, with two outs in the bottom of the 9th, Fingers hit Darrel Chaney with a pitch, giving the host Reds once final shot. But Fingers retired Rose on a fly to left, and the A’s had the second of their three straight World Series crowns. 1971: Pirates – 2, Orioles – 1 This was a meeting between two of the top teams from the entire decade of the 1970’s. The Pirates won six NL East Division crowns in the decade, two NL pennants, and a pair of World Series titles. The Orioles won five AL East Division crowns, three AL pennants, and a World Series title during the decade. The defending world champs, Baltimore was hosting Game 7 at Memorial Stadium. Mike Cuellar would toss a gem for the O’s, holding the potent Bucs attack to just two runs on four hits over eight innings. Unfortunately for him, Pittsburgh starter Steve Blass was even better. He went the distance, also allowing just four hits. With two outs in the top of the 4th, Roberto Clemente gave the Pirates a 1-0 lead with a home run blasted to left-center field. The two teams traded 8th inning runs and went to the 9th with the Bucs clinging to a one-run lead. Blass retired slugger Boog Powell and future Hall of Famer Frank Robinson to open the bottom of the 9th, then ended it with a ground out. 1965: Dodgers – 2, Twins – 0 This one was all Sandy Koufax. The future Hall of Fame southpaw had shut the Twins out over the first six frames of Game 2, but was lifted for a pinch-hitter and watched as Minnesota got to the Dodgers bullpen for five runs in a 5-1 win that put the Twins up 2-0 in the series. Koufax returned for the start in Game 5, shutting Minnesota out on just four hits in a complete game victory to put the Dodgers up 3-2 in the series. The Twins then tied it up, setting up this Game 7 at Dodger Stadium. Manager Walter Alston opted to bring Koufax back on just three days rest, and his ace would not let the team down. Once again, Koufax tossed a shutout, allowing just three hits as the Dodgers won their fourth World Series title in 11 years, their third since moving from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958. In all, Koufax allowed a single earned run and 13 hits over 24 innings across his three starts with a 29/5 K:BB ratio, and was awarded his second World Series MVP Award in three years. 1962: Yankees – 1, Giants – 0 One of only two 1-0 Game 7’s in World Series history took place at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. This would mark the 20th World Series crown for the dynastic Bronx Bombers in 40 years, but would also be their last for the next decade-and-a-half. Meanwhile, the Giants would have to wait another 38 years to celebrate a championship. Ralph Terry tossed a complete game shutout for the Yanks, allowing just four hits. The game’s lone run scored in the top of the 5th when the Yankees loaded the bases against Giants starter Jack Sanford with a pair of singles and a walk. Tony Kubek then hit into a double play, but Bill Skowron raced home with a run to give New York a 1-0 lead. With two out and Matt Alou standing at first base in the bottom of the 9th, Willie Mays ripped a double to right field. Right fielder Roger Maris made a tremendous play on the ball, getting it back in to second baseman Bobby Richardson to hold Alou at third base. This brought future Hall of Famer Willie McCovey to the plate with the potential tying run at third and winning run at second. McCovey ripped a line drive that he would later claim was the hardest hit ball of his career. But the liner sank as it reached Richardson, who fielded it cleanly for the final out. 1960: Pirates – 10, Yankees – 9 This was one of the more unusual World Series in history in that the Yankees won their three games by routs, outscoring the Pirates 16-3, 10-0, and 12-0. Meanwhile, the Bucs three wins came in more competitive 6-4, 3-2, and 5-2 ball games. Game 7 was played at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, and the host Pirates scored twice each in the 1st and 2nd for an early 4-0 lead. The Bronx Bombers battled back to take a 7-4 lead in the top of the 8th. The big hit came in the top of the 6th when 35-year-old future Hall of Famer Yogi Berra crushed a three-run homer. The Pirates chipped away for two in the home 8th to make it a 7-6 game. Then Hal Smith drilled a three-run home run, scoring Roberto Clemente and Dick Groat to push the Pirates back on top by 9-7 as the game went to the 9th inning. But the Yankees failed to surrender, tying it up on an RBI single by Mickey Mantle and RBI ground out by Berra. With the game knotted at 9-9 in the bottom of the 9th, second baseman Bill Mazeroski led off the inning against Ralph Terry. On a 1-0 pitch, Maz drove a ball just over the wall in left field, giving the Pirates a dramatic walkoff World Series title with what has been called “the greatest home run in baseball history.” 1946: Cardinals – 4, Red Sox – 3 Boston. Saint Louis. Boston. Saint Louis. Boston. Saint Louis. That was how the 1946 Fall Classic went over the first six games, with the Red Sox and Cardinals trading wins to set up a winner-take-all Game 7 at Sportsman’s Park in Saint Louis. This was the first World Series played after World War II, and would turn out to be the only shot at a championship for perhaps the greatest hitter the game has ever seen, Ted Williams. It would not be a great series for ‘Teddy Ballgame’, who had served in the U.S. Marine Corps as an aviator in WWII and who would do so again in Korea. Williams batted just .200 with five hits over 25 at-bats, five walks, and just one RBI. He would to 0-4 in the Game 7 finale. Dom DiMaggio, brother of Yankees star and Williams’ rival Joe DiMaggio, would try to play the Bosox hero, driving in all three Boston runs. His clutch two-out, two-run double in the top of the 8th inning tied the game at 3-3. In the home 8th, Enos Slaughter led off with a base hit. Then with two outs, Harry Walker lined a double to center. Slaughter was running on the play, and then ignored a stop sign at third put on by coach Mike Gonzalez. Boston shortstop Johnny Pesky took the relay throw, turned, appeared stunned that ‘Country’ Slaughter was running, and fired weakly to the plate. Slaughter was safe at home on his now famous ‘Mad Dash‘, and the Cardinals had what would prove to be the World Series-winning run. 1940: Reds – 2, Tigers – 1 Detroit and Cincinnati traded wins over the first six games, with neither team able to put together two in a row to take control. This set up a dramatic Game 7 at Crosley Field in Cincinnati, Ohio. The visiting Tigers jumped out first on a two-out RBI single from 37-year-old future Hall of Fame second baseman Charlie Gehringer. Tigers starting pitcher Bobo Newsom and Reds starter Paul Derringer would each go the distance in this one, and that 1-0 lead for Detroit held into the bottom of the 7th inning. Back-to-back doubles to lead off the frame by Frank McCormick and Jimmy Ripple tied it up, and later a one-out sac fly by Billy Myers brought home Ripple with what would prove the series-winning run. Derringer set Detroit down in order in the 9th, wrapping up the first World Series crown for Cincinnati since the 1919 club had won a controversial title against the scandalous Chicago “Black Sox” team. It would be the last Cincy title until the ‘Big Red Machine‘ came along in the 1970’s. 1926: Cardinals – 3, Yankees – 2 The Yankees, whose 27 World Series crowns are more than any franchise in Major League Baseball, had won just one title in the first 26 years of their history to this point. The Cardinals have won 11 championships, more than any team in National League history. Their franchise had been around since 1882, but had not yet won a championship since joining the NL for the 1892 season. This was the first of five meetings in the Fall Classic between the two teams, something that has not happened now since 1964. The great Babe Ruth homered three times in Game 4 to pull the Yankees even at two games apiece. This was the legendary game in which Ruth had promised a sick boy, Johnny Sylvester, that he would hit a homer for him. But it would also ultimately be a base-running gaffe for which the Bambino would be remembered for in this series . With the Cardinals leading by a run and two outs in the bottom of the 9th at Yankee Stadium, Ruth drew a walk off fellow future Hall of Famer Grover Cleveland Alexander. On the first pitch to the next batter, Bob Meusel, Ruth took off for second base. The throw from catcher Bob O’Farrell to second baseman Rogers Hornsby easily beat the sliding Ruth for the final out. It remains the only World Series to ever end on a caught stealing. 1925: Pirates – 9, Senators – 7 Relevance to tonight’s Game 7 of course in that it was the last World Series to be played in our nation’s capital until this past week. The Senators were the defending world champions. The Pirates had won the 1909 World Series, and would not win another after this one for another 35 years. Washington bolted out of the gate, scoring four times and knocking Pittsburgh starter Vic Aldridge out in the very 1st inning at Forbes Field. But the Pirates fought back, narrowing their deficit to just 7-6 as the game entered the bottom of the 8th inning. Future Hall of Famer Walter Johnson retired the first two Pittsburgh batters. But then suddenly the Pirates bats erupted. Three doubles, a walk, and an error combined to give the home team three runs, two unearned, and a 9-7 lead. The Senators went down in order in the 9th, and Pittsburgh celebrated its second World Series title. 1924: Senators – 4, Giants – 3 (12 innings) The first of three straight Fall Classics to make this list, it has also, to this point, been the only World Series ever won by a team from Washington, D.C. The Senators would get four shutout innings of relief from the ‘Big Train’, future Hall of Famer Walter Johnson, and rally from a 3-1 deficit at Griffith Stadium in D.C. to force extra innings, finally take it in the 12th inning. A solo home run off the bat of Bucky Harris gave Washington an early 1-0 lead. But the Giants scored three times in the top of the 6th aided by a pair of Senators infield errors to take that 3-1 lead. Harris would again play the hero in the bottom of the 8th, delivering a two-out, two-run single to tie it up. Then with one out in the bottom of the 12th, Sens catcher Muddy Ruel stayed alive when Giants catcher Hank Gowdy dropped an easy foul pop. Given the new life, Ruel doubled. One batter later, Earl McNeely ripped a hard grounder through to left field for the walkoff hit, Ruel rolling home with the World Series-winning run. 1912: Red Sox – 3, Giants – 2 (10 innings) It is difficult to compare a World Series from so long ago to those of today’s game. And yet it remains an indisputable fact that this ninth contest pitting the winners of the upstart American League against the champions of the more established National League is one of the greatest World Series in the game’s long history. Four of the eight games were decided by a single run, two others were tight affairs, and Game 2 was called off and ruled as an official tie result due to darkness after the two clubs battled to a 6-6 stalemate over 11 innings. So, this Game 7 was actually the eighth game of the series. The two teams were knotted at three wins apiece as they took the field at Fenway Park, now the oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball, but then finishing up its very first season of existence. The Giants future Hall of Fame pitcher Christy Mathewson would go the distance on the mound and took a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the 7th. There, one of the earliest and most unlikely heroes in World Series history struck. Olaf Henriksen, a reserve outfielder who had just four extra-base hits over 75 regular season plate appearances that year, was sent up to face the great ‘Christian Gentleman’ as a pinch-hitter with two outs and two men on base. Henrickson came through, ripping a line drive RBI double, scoring Jake Stahl with the tying run. The game went to extra innings, and in the top of the 10th the Giants recaptured the lead on Fred Merkle‘s RBI single. Then in the bottom of the 10th, Giants center fielder Fred Snodgrass made an error on a fly ball by Clyde Engle that would become known in baseball history as “the $30,000 muff“, putting the tying run at second base. Three batters later, Tris Speaker scored him with a game-tying single. Two batters after that, Larry Gardner lofted a sac fly to right field, with Steve Yerkes tagging and coming home with the first walkoff run in World Series history. Will we get an unforgettable, historic moment in tonight’s Astros-Nationals contest to equal Slaughter’s Mad Dash, or the walkoffs provided by Mazeroski, Renteria, or Gonzo? Maybe there will be a shutdown pitching performance from the two starting pitchers, Max Scherzer and Zack Greinke, each of whom is already likely headed to the Hall of Fame. Something to equal the performances of Koufax or Bumgarner. This 2019 World Series will mark the third time in the last four years that the Fall Classic has gone the full seven games. Whichever team wins, the real winners as the drama unfolds are sure to be all true fans of the game of baseball.

Moving to serverless, including AWS Lambda, makes security both easier and harder, as I outlined in our Serverless Security Scorecard. In deploying serverless apps, you cede control over most of the stack to your cloud provider, for better and for worse. You no longer own OS hardening, admin rights, SSH, and segmentation. The exception where you retain control is configuration and the application, and that is where security must come from. Least privilege, in particular, is a key component to AWS Lambda security best practices. So, What Can You Do for AWS Lambda Security? You must ensure security is tightly wrapped around your application and applied correctly, specifically to each resource, function, S3 bucket, etc. Those IAM roles are critical in ensuring your app is as secure as possible. “Every program and every privileged user of the system should operate using the least amount of privilege necessary to complete the job.” — Jerome Saltzer, Communications of the ACM This definition presupposes there’s something that enforces a differentiation of privilege within each part of the application in a way that limits what they can do. Assuming that infrastructure exists, least privilege dictates that we apply the smallest possible privilege so that it can function correctly, but can do nothing else. While least privilege is critical, it’s rarely achieved, making it the unicorn of security configuration. Let’s look at the following function as an example. A ‘quick-and-dirty’ developer might write something like: This allows all actions on S3 to all buckets on S3. That gets the job done. The code will run, and not fail or give errors because of lack of permission. However, a slightly better, more secure version might be: But a least privilege version of this would allow only GetObject, and only for this particular bucket. In the last case, an injection attack into this area of the code could only read files from this particular bucket. The function can’t read files from any other bucket, and can’t write to or delete the bucket. That will significantly shrink what an attacker can do. Why Least Privilege is Hard Perhaps most critically, security is, in a way, the opposite of development, because security is the process of limiting, whereas development is creating and enabling. A developer’s instinct is to enable and remove obstacles, and it can therefore be challenging to ask them to apply security restrictions at the same time. I’ll be posting a blog in the future on this controversial stance. However, part of AWS Lambda security best practices includes having developers consider what they don’t need, and what they can therefore carve away. Here are some additional reasons least privilege is always hard: - Security takes time, developers don’t have time - Security gets in the way, so the easiest thing to do is wildcard it - Lack of visibility, to even know what permissions you need - Lack of granularity of access controls - Lack of awareness or mindfulness to the problem While it’s always hard, least privilege is even harder in serverless. Have a look at one of my previous posts, “Least Privilege for AWS Lambda Security”, for further details. The key issues here are: - You have many (many) more resources - Your developers are updating them more frequently While serverless requires a complete shift in your security approach, it also brings to the table a large number of opportunities for creating better, more granular and in-context security. Let’s compare serverless to containers. If a large container executes many functions, then you must enable it to do many things. Moving to smaller microservices enables you to do more fine-grained IAM around them all. More importantly, it means, that if there is a vulnerability in one of your functions, an attacker will only get access to the limited capabilities of that function, not the large set of permissions each container had. You have the opportunity to apply security policies to each of those small things. AWS Lambda, along with most of the cloud providers, enables you to significantly shrink the attack surface. The opportunity for least privilege to be meaningful and mitigate a tremendous number of attacks is much more powerful with AWS Lambda than in a monolithic app. Training Developers in AWS Lambda Security Best Practices While security may be difficult for developers, I don’t advocate that we take the whole thing out of their hands so that someone else owns it. Automatic tools, such as our own Protego Proact, play an important role. But at the end of the day, it remains important to train developers to think about security. I recommend the following best practices: - Look for low-hanging fruit - Try to do this as you develop - Easier in tandem with the development process - Try to do this as you develop - Run tools - All the training in the world won’t will close the gap as much as running a few tools, so definitely do both - Run tools - Focus on permissions from the bottom up - Start from the assumption that the function needs nothing Last year I presented a webinar, Serverless Security Quick Wins, which included AWS Lambda best practices. The recording is available on demand. Additionally, sign up for email updates and check out our existing resources, which feature additional serverless security best practices. And as always, I encourage you to challenge me on something via Twitter. Lastly, if you would like to see a demo of our automated security solution, request a 1-1 demo.

This is why onlookers gather to watch high rollers at Online Baccarat Games, as the spectacle is a ritual that could be designed for easy public viewing. There is something compelling about the tense and deliberate slow turn of each card, upon which may lie the key to riches or ruin. The hearts of the gamblers soar and fall as each hand brings tragedy or euphoria, fascination and foreboding. |Force Them Out or Keep Them In? you find yourself up against one other opponent who draws three, you are in pretty good shape, since such a player will fail to improve his pair most of the time. On the other hand, if you are up against a full table of players who stay for the draw, you are in trouble. Sure, each of them individually has a relatively small chance of improving, but only one of them has to complete his hand to beat you (assuming you don't improve on your draw). Remember, you must have the best hand in order to win; there is no consolation prize for second place. Because of the relationship between your odds of winning and the modest strength of your queens up, you would want to force out as many players as possible before the draw.

If you Google “about adopting Pit Bulls,” you get page after page of top ten (or sixteen or even twenty-one) lists of reasons why you should adopt a Pit Bull, and even one list why Pit Bulls don’t make good pets, but the title is facetious and the article is a series of pictures of Pit Bulls in Ray Bans and tutus obviously demonstrating that Pit Bulls make great pets. I’m glad I did this research, but have to say that the list-articles were so intent on naming all the lovable Pit Bull traits that they missed a truly important reason to consider adopting one: shelters are bursting with Pit Bulls; Pit Bulls are the most euthanized dogs in America. Some shelters euthanize Pit Bulls without even trying to adopt them out; they are that maligned. Last year my local Humane Society was having a “free dog Saturday,” and my son and I got there a half hour early to see a line of prospective adopters wrapped around the building and heading down the sidewalk. When we finally got far enough inside to see an actual dog, about half of the medium- to large-size dogs were left in their cages, and they were all Pit Bulls. Most of those had been living in the shelter for more than a month, some for three or more months. My son was still excited, but I was not happy. All the stereotypes about Pit Bulls flashed in my mind: They are vicious. They will turn on you. They are the dogs most favored by gangs and criminals and, well, people from the wrong side of the tracks (if you could see my poor little house, you’d rightfully wonder which side of the tracks I live on.). My son found an eager-looking candidate, and we took him outside. An hour and several warnings about furniture-chewing later, we were headed home with a Pit Bull. We’ve had Goober for just over a year now. It took me about six months to admit to myself (and to him) that I actually love him. But now that I’ve fallen, I’ve fallen hard. Goober is everything the top ten lists make Pit Bulls out to be: intelligent, eager to please, healthy, goofy, woefully lacking in personal boundaries when it comes to sleeping arrangements (we never even bothered buying him a dog bed). He loves to go for a walk but doesn’t require exercise. His hair is so short that I just toss him in the tub, scrub a little oatmeal shampoo on him, and spray him off. He self-dries in about ten minutes. Goober’s name at the Humane Society was Smoochie. We felt he was possessed of a little more dignity than this name allowed (but not too much more), but it is easy to see why he got the name. To date, the most nearly-fatal attacks this dog has perpetrated on us have come in the form of turbo-licking, so fast and with such deadly aim (our lips, nostrils, eyes, ears) that it is almost impossible to breathe and completely impossible to stop laughing. And, of course, Goober is a wonderful watch dog. He has the look that Pit Bulls are famous for (except for his big, floppy, uncut ears), and a fantastically horrific bark. I feel safer with Goober than with any other dog I’ve ever kept. At the same time it’s easy to focus on all of Goober’s lovable traits, it’s important to consider all the facts before adopting a Pit Bull. Pit Bulls are voracious chewers. Each one should have an Extreme Kong toy issued with their adoption papers. I just replaced our couch. Also, Pit Bulls have been bred for generations to fight other dogs. You can’t socialize or love this trait out of them. If you choose to adopt a Pit Bull, you must provide adequate fencing, never let them run off-leash outside your property, and train them to heel. That said, most Pit Bulls get along very well with other dogs and animals. As far as aggression toward humans goes, it is quite simply almost unheard of. Pit Bulls are so good with children, so protective of children, that they used to be used as nanny or nursemaid dogs. The ASPCA’s official position on Pit Bulls is partly as follows: “All dogs, including Pit Bulls, are individuals. Treating them as such, providing them with the care, training and supervision they require, and judging them by their actions and not by their DNA or their physical appearance is the best way to ensure that dogs and people can continue to share safe and happy lives together.”

You may think of vending machines as the place to go for your guilty pleasure snack – a bag of chips when you’re still hungry after lunch, a sugary soda to give you a temporary boost. But increasingly, people are turning to vending machines for healthier options. Will you be ready with healthy vending machine snacks when the opportunity presents itself? The important thing is to focus on items that are both healthy and delicious. Healthy foods that just gather dust in your machine isn’t good for your business or your customers. Consider why people buy from vending machines. Sometimes they just feel like a snack, but other times, they need lunch or can use an energy boost. Sugary snacks can offer a momentary boost, but healthy snacks can provide sustained energy to get people through their day or at least through to the next meal. That’s when they count on healthy vending companies to provide what they need. Best Healthy Vending Machine Snacks Take a look at our healthy vending machine snacks list for ideas to keep your customers and your wallet happy. Candy Bars & Gum Candy is not an ideal snack, but those that offer a combination of protein and fats can tide you over between meals. Some of the most popular options are Peanut M&M’s or Snickers each of which come in under 250 calories and provide a small protein boost. Sugar-free gum such as Trident, Orbit, and Extra have earned the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance and are ideal to freshen your breath when toothbrushing is not an option. Cereal & Granola Bars Granola bars are popular anytime option for those requiring a between-meal snack or even a mini-meal. A couple of popular options include Quaker Chewy Low-Fat Granola Bars (about 110 calories depending on flavor) and Nature Valley Granola Bars around 180 calories for two bars). Granola bars are a healthier option than candy bars. Chips & Pretzels Chips and pretzels offer little in the way of nutrition, but some whole grain options provide a bit of fiber and they make a popular savory snack. Consider options like Baked Lays, Sun Chips, popcorn or pretzels to keep your customers happy. Fig Newtons often come to mind when considering which cookies may be on the healthier side. After all, they do offer a bit of fruit and fiber at only 190 calories. But even cookie treats like Mini Chips Ahoy can be a good snack choice. The selling point here is portion size with a single serving coming in at just 140 calories. Once again whole grain is the way to go. They are tasty and typically don’t contain as much sugar as sweet snacks. Cheez-Its are popular, but Wheat Thins offer a higher dose of fiber. Packaged crackers filled with cheese or peanut butter are high in fat and surprisingly low in protein, meaning they’re not a great choice. Dried fruit can make a great sweet treat. It does contain a lot of sugar, although it is typically natural sugar. Trail Mix that contains both fruit and nuts and gives this snack more staying power. Think outside the box with items like squeezable applesauce which is great on the go or fruit snacks and leathers. Nutrition bars come under many labels such as breakfast or protein bars. Stock a mix to please a variety of customers. Some bars such as Clif or Luna bars are typically intended as a meal replacement and often weigh in over 200 calories, while items like Fiber One or Nutrigrain Bars are closer to 100 calories, making them more of a snack. Seeds & Nuts Seeds and nuts are among the best choices for savvy snackers. Peanuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds provide healthy fats, a bit of fiber and a protein boost – usually for about 160 calories for a single serving. Best of all these are popular snacks that will move fast from your vending machine. Beef Jerky often gets a bad rap. While it’s often high in sodium and fat, it packs a ton of protein – nine grams in a one-ounce serving. That gives it staying power to stave off hunger for hours, all for only about 116 calories per ounce. Best Healthy Vending Machine Drinks Even individuals who wouldn’t dream of grabbing a vending machine snack will often purchase drinks. Give them the choice of refreshing water, tasty flavored drinks or even protein drinks that can serve as a meal replacement. Here are some winning options to add to your beverage vending machine. Carbonated Soda & Seltzer Water Soda is not as popular as it once was, but people do still enjoy an occasional treat. Give plenty of space to calorie-free sodas and add both plain and flavored seltzers as options. Even those who have given up soda will enjoy LaCroix or similar products. Healthy Energy Drinks The most popular option is probably Red Bull, which has a sugar free option. Other choices include V8 +Energy which gets its energy boost from green tea extract. It contains potassium, vitamin C, iron, and B vitamins and comes in several flavors such as peach mango and pomegranate blueberry. There are a variety of juice options available, both the familiar such as orange, apple and vegetable, but there are trendier options such as goji berry and acai. This category also includes lower or no sugar Gatorade sports drinks. Smoothies are a popular meal on the go option. Most people make them at home or buy them fresh, but in a pinch, your vending machine can give them a viable option. Popular brands are juice or kefir based. Protein drinks also fall into this category with brands such as Muscle Milk and Premier Protein available in dairy-free as well. Tea & Coffee Artificially sweetened and unsweetened options are both popular in the tea and coffee category. Green Tea has health benefits and natural sweetness. Coffee brands such as Starbucks offer sugar-free coffee options. Water is one of the top choices for health-conscious vending machine customers. Dasani is a Coke brand, so you will often see it in their machines, but brands such as Polar Spring are also popular. Best Healthy Vending Entrées Increasingly people are eating on the go, and sometimes they want a full meal. Common options such as instant ramen are loaded with preservatives and sodium. That doesn’t mean there is any shortage of healthier meal options including noodles, pasta, rice, and soup. The struggle is stocking items that are shelf-stable. Consider these options: Choose low sodium or vegan options for healthier noodle dishes. For example, One Culture Foods offers pho, spicy ramen, chicken noodle, and beef noodle soup all made with bone broth. Nissin and Thai kitchen offers a wide variety of flavors that are either low sodium or feature steamed rather than fried noodles. Rice & Vegetables Vending machine rice & vegetables are proof that you don’t have to sacrifice flavor for health. Brands such as Kitchens of India, Seeds of Change and Tasty Bite offer delicious and healthy meal options Soup is a category with a ton of options. The healthy Choice canned soup comes in many flavors. Dr. McDougall’s offers vegan options and several brands have hot and sour, miso soup and more to choose from. Take a look at the nutrition information to find those lowest in sodium and fat. Need Help Choosing Healthy Vending Products?

We believe that Jesus Christ is God. Jesus provides us with the clearest picture of God that humans can receive (see John 1:1, 14). The person and work of Christ should rise above all other considerations in our formulation of the doctrine of God as well as our doctrine of salvation. Nothing is more important to us than the person and work of Christ. We believe that the Bible is God's revelation of Himself to people. The entirety of the Bible (the 66 books from Genesis to Revelation) is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, authoritative Word of God (see 2 Timothy 3:16-17). We believe that Jesus is the only way for people to have a relationship with God. Jesus declared this Himself, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).

HandyShower is a well-thought device suitable for diverse users’ needs. I believe that it will be a very useful device in humanitarian aid projects. Alina PelkaVP&Humanitarian Assistance Director at AIDPOL Ltd. I like the simplicity and effectiveness of your system compared to the Whale foot pump mechanism we have used in versions of our WWashPot and WWashTank. Michael MessengerDesign Director at AIRCELL STRUCTURES The Handy Shower is extremely useful for personal hygiene in remote settings, keeps you clean wherever you go, and is simple to carry anywhere! The Handy Shower should be part of any outdoor tour or emergency aid mission! Bastian SchnabelCEO at Endave Software It’s extremely lightweight! I am super impressed. I can easily see taking this on a backpacking trip. Offering four different kit options seems market friendly. For backpacking I would need only the Starter Kit of shower head and nozzle, applying those parts to the hydration hose and bladder I already carry. The Handy Shower was indeed handy! Its array of showerhead nozzles gave me plenty of options for cleaning humans and dogs. The attachments are easy to change-out and the handle is simple and effective to use one-handed. The nearly 2 L bladder size was just right for wetting three big dogs, or cleaning my family of four around camp, or as a water carrying /filtration bag. The 74 in (1.8 m) hose, provided ample length for my needs but I felt a shorter option would be better for backpacking.

Whenever I have a story about something, I can ask myself what am I missing? In a conventional sense, the stories I favor – and all the stories I am familiar with – miss just about 99.999%. And any story is missing it 100% in the context of what I am. Within the realm of stories, there are innumerable other stories that may be as or more helpful than the ones I am familiar with. They may be more helpful as guidelines for action, or pointers for exploration. They may fit my stories about the data better. They may be more comprehensive or nuanced. They may overall make more sense to me. And within the context of what I am, stories are just stories. Mental field creations with only limited and practical function, as temporary guides for this human self to function in the world, and sometimes as an invitation for what we are to notice itself. They don’t begin to touch what is, even when they point to it. Trigger: A blog comment asking am I missing something?, which is a reminder for myself. The question is of course what and not if, and when another says I don’t think you are missing anything that too is me… whenever I take a story as true.

Barnes Dennig is dedicated to helping you identify opportunities, options, and strategies to minimize the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Visit our COVID-19 Advisory Services Page here to learn more. On April 5, 2020, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) released guidance to states on the application of the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program. More information can be found here on the DOL website. Under PUA, individuals who may not qualify for regulator unemployment compensation, and are not able to work as a result of COVID-19, are eligible for up to 36 weeks of PUA benefits. The U.S. Department of Labor announced today the publication of Unemployment Insurance Program Letter (UIPL) 16-20, providing guidance to states for implementation of the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program. Under PUA, self-employed workers, independent contractors, gig workers, and individuals who do not qualify for regular unemployment compensation and are unable to continue working as a result of COVID-19, are eligible for PUA benefits. This provision is contained in Section 2102 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) Act, which was enacted on March 27, 2020. PUA will provide up to 39 weeks of benefits to qualifying individuals who are otherwise able and available to work within the meaning of applicable state law, except for the fact that they are unemployed, partially unemployed, or unavailable or unable to work as a result of COVID-19 related reasons, as it is laid out in the CARES Act. Benefit payments under PUA are retroactive, for weeks of partial employment, unemployment, or the inability to work due to COVID-19 reasons starting on or after January 27, 2020. The CARES Act does specify that PUA benefits cannot be paid for weeks of unemployment ending after December 31, 2020. Eligibility for PUA includes those individuals not qualified for regular unemployment compensation or extended benefits under federal or state law or Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC), including individuals who have exhausted all existing rights to such benefits. Covered individuals also include those who identify as self-employed, those seeking part-time employment, and individuals who lack the necessary work history. Depending on state law, covered individuals might also include clergy and individuals working for religious organizations that are not covered by regular unemployment compensation. The UIPL also includes guidance to states about protecting unemployment insurance program integrity. The DOL is actively working with states to ensure that benefits are provided only to those who qualify for such benefits. For more information on UIPLs or previous guidance, please visit: https://wdr.doleta.gov/directives/. Barnes Dennig COVID-19 Advisory Team Leaders:

Lexmark to be banned by feds? - S. senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) plan to introduce a new bill aimed at banning federal employees from using tech platforms that are under the influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) - This could include products from Lexmark (owned by Ninestar of China), Lenovo, Tencent, Huawei and others - “Prohibiting the use of these platforms and stopping taxpayers dollars from being used to capitalize Chinese espionage infrastructure are common sense measures to protect American national security.” - The bill, named “Countering Chinese Attempts at Snooping (C-CAS) Act of 2020,” would require the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, to put together a list of technology companies that they believe are “subject to influence or control” by the Chinese regime. - The proposed bill would prohibit U.S. federal employees “to conduct official business over any social media, computer or smartphone application, or telecommunications technology, produced, operated, or hosted” by companies on the list. - China’s national intelligence law, which went into effect in 2017, allows Beijing access to all data stored within its national borders—meaning data on Chinese servers could be accessed by the Chinese regime as well. - Also from the “Stealing From States: China’s Power Play in IT Contracts” report: - “Lexmark’s connection to the Chinese government is something that has been well documented by government agencies and US courts. In a landmark case, hardware vendor Iron Bow Technologies sued the Social Security Administration (SSA) after SSA leadership concluded the Lexmark printers sold by Iron Bow posed too great a security risk to government networks.

With nesting season on it’s way, birds need to build up reserves to meet high energy demands. Nest-building, egg-laying, incubating and providing food for young come with high energy costs. And, like human parents, bird parents will work themselves to the bone for their offspring. Now through nesting season, suet is readily taken as a nutritional boost for adults and young. During cold snaps, insects are scarce putting nesting birds at risk of losing their young. Because baby birds develop so rapidly, one day without enough food, can make the difference. Even seed-eating birds feed their young suet, as it is a soft-food that baby birds can digest. If you have never offered suet, now’s a good time to introduce it to your feeding stations. Be sure and keep the suet feeder well stocked so birds will come to know your feeder as reliable. You’ll be thanking us when parent birds feed their newly fledged young right there in front of you. Talk about joy! Happy suet feeding! Article by Darlene Betat

If you want to decorate and change your outdoor areas, but you’re a little lost, take a look at the number of different garden styles! This is the first thing we must decide, to begin to change and decorate the environment. Styles of French gardens The elegance of the French style, in your garden, will stand out a lot. This type of decoration never breaks the visual axis, nor the symmetry of any of the elements we include in it. A French garden needs order, and nothing will be placed at random. French gardens usually involve a high level of maintenance, so this must be taken into account. If you are a busy person you may not be interested. Some of the important characteristics of this type of gardens are: a terrace with views of the garden; the main house will be the focal point of the decoration; we must include parterres; put architectural elements such as waterfalls, fountains, sculptures … This is a garden style that we will see a lot today. In the we will see a beautiful mix of bright colors and really striking. These are the touches that most define this style. Another of the main characteristics is the diversity of elements that we can use for the elaboration of this type of gardens. There are many elements that can be used in the creation of these gardens. For example we can use shrubs, plants such as vines, trees, vegetation … Garden styles: tropical garden The protagonists of these gardens are plants with very large leaves, climbers or palms, among many others. If you like this style of garden you should bear in mind that the protagonists should be tropical and exotic species with a lot of vegetation. If your garden does not have a climate, a temperature and an optimum humidity, for this type of plants, you will have to use a greenhouse. Otherwise we must recreate the environment taking advantage of the differences in levels to create environmental humidity with pond constructions or waterfalls. This type of garden, if you have the desired climate, does not require much maintenance. The cares will be minimal because they only have to prune the species when they become impenetrable or bother in some way. If not, we will only let them grow naturally. Do you want to know some of the known carnivorous plants ? This type of garden is characterized by the order that radiates, the balance and the perfection of it. A few flowers, plants and lawn fully cared for. But unlike the French gardens, the English do not modify nature. In this case, certain weeds or irregular shrubs are allowed, because the freedom of growth must be respected. The irregularity is something to highlight in these gardens, perfectly natural. The paths, the bushes grown, some weeds, the accidents of the land … all cause some fantastic designs. What do you think of this type of garden? Would you like to have it at home? Garden styles: Japanese garden The Japanese-style garden is characterized, above all, by being closed … as if it were isolated from the world and the environment that surrounds it. Within “his” world is created another totally different and full of serenity and tranquility. A material that we will see a lot, within this type of gardens, are the bamboo sheets and hurdles or hedges. Garden styles: Feng Shui From Chinese origin this style of decoration is a study of the energies transmitted between the home (interior), nature (exterior) and man. It is about reduced, relaxing, balanced spaces with circular or wave shapes. Feng Shui seeks, first of all, to create a garden that is part of nature and that is in harmony with it. Although feng shui has become popular in relation to interior design, the environment surrounding the house is decisive for the type of energy it handles. The sectors of the Feng Shui garden Northern sector: This address corresponds to the Water element and means that we must have a pond or a water source. However, for the final decision on the position of the water we should consult a good feng shui decoration guide . Northeastern sector: This direction corresponds to the Earth element, so it is beneficial to place a stone rockery or garden in this part . Sector east: It symbolizes the largest wood, it is a good sector for ornamental and fruit trees, bamboo or similar canes and flowers . Southeast Sector: Represents the small wood, the sector is appropriate for small plants and flower beds or pots with flowers . Southern sector: It is the sector of the Fire element, it can be harmonized with lights, red or sculptures that represent birds . Southwest sector: Like the northeast, corresponds to the element Earth. Here are also ideal embellishments of stones or pebbles, depending on the size of the garden. West sector: The West is the direction of Small Metal. So we will look for some metal like small bells, which are great to harmonize this sector. Northwest sector: It is the sector of the Major Metal. It would be optimal to have here a metal or stone sculpture. In a small garden, bells or metal chimes can be placed.

ProGeo 2017 – The Year of Risk Principal Engineers Laura Bacon and Robert Benson recently attended the flagship event of the South West Regional Group of the Geological Society, ProGeo, a conference focusing on the Geological Society’s themed ‘Year of Risk’. Both Laura and Rob have recently attained new professional status with CL:AIRE and the ICE. ProGeo was very well attended with well over 80 delegates representing the best of the south-west geoscience industry and academia. The conference focussed on the ‘Year of Risk’, the 2017 themed year of the Geological Society, with talk topics ranging from contamination risk, coastal and quarry slope monitoring and the current standards of the UK site investigation industry. The conference culminated with a keynote talk from Professor Iain Stewart, discussing the complex issue of public perception of risk and risk management with particular reference to earthquake hazards in Italy and Turkey. In the space of a few days, both Laura and Rob have been accepted on two well-established professional registers.

From Emotions to Advocacy The Special Education Survival Guide by Pam & Pete Wright |Home > Gatekeepers - Their Job is to Say "No!"| NEW! Wrightslaw Year in Review Series for 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 Gatekeepers - Their Job is to Say "No!" When you advocate for your child, you are likely to meet gatekeepers. Gatekeepers limit the number of children who have access to special education services and limit the services children can receive. If you have health insurance through an HMO or managed care firm, you know about gatekeepers. A Gatekeeper may tell you that your child is not entitled to: job is to say No! No! You persuade the team that your childs situation is different and requires a different approach. We Cant Make Exceptions School districts have systems of rules that govern how decisions are made and by whom. As you work to develop an appropriate program for your child, you may run into a Gatekeeper whose job is to uphold the We cant make exceptions rule. We cant make exceptions is related to We have never done that before. If you prepare and plan, you can usually defeat both arguments. Last revised: 07/23/08 Copyright © 1999-2020, Peter W. D.

Several readers have e-mailed me today with links to news reports about a thread on Reddit titled 'What's the most intellectual joke you know?' For example, the Independent commented: Scientists are not generally recognised for their sense of humour, but those disparagingly referred to as “geeks” by the more intellectually challenged of us have responded in their thousands to a question posed on the Reddit website: “What’s the most intellectual joke you know?” The huge number of gags – and yes, many of them are funny – cover all disciplines from physics to philosophy. They range from the accessible, such as: “A Roman walks into a bar, holds up two fingers, and says: ‘Five beers, please’,” to those that require a working knowledge of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle to understand. The joke about Benoit B Mandelbrot, for example, relies on a knowledge of the scientist’s work on fractals. For all their highbrow intellectualism, however, the jokes follow traditional forms. They include puns: “Did you hear about the man who got cooled to absolute zero? He’s OK now” – as well as someone-walks-into-a-bar jokes and light-bulb-changing jokes (“How many Marxists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? None: the lightbulb contains the seeds of its own revolution”). There are also plenty of jokes of the Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman format, where the usual protagonists are replaced by physicists, engineers and economists. There's more at the link, and many more jokes at the Reddit thread, which at the time of writing had attracted no less than 16,150 responses since June 25th! I daresay there's enough jokes there to keep most of us going for a lifetime . . .

The yellow bells are shining from the hills and hollers of southern Appalachia. I see their brightness as I drive along the curvy roads on my way to and fro. I see their brightness from my kitchen window too. Forsythia, or yellow bells as its commonly called, thrives in our mountains. I have always thought of it as an old fashioned flower. Both Mamaw and Granny Gazzie had it growing in their yards. Twenty years ago when we first moved into our house I was always looking for things to plant in our barren red clay yard. I should say I was always looking for FREE things to plant. Money was scarce but there was always a generous soul willing to share a cutting or start of something they had. Granny shared her yellow bells with me and she showed me how to plant them. She said “Come Spring of the year we’ll get you some cuttings from my forsythia bushes, all you have to do is stick them in the ground and they’ll live.” It wasn’t that I didn’t believe Granny, but it seemed impossible that all I had to do was cut a piece off and stick it in my red clay dirt and I’d have my own yellow bell bushes. But that’s exactly what we did. The bushes are still alive today. They throw out their vibrant welcome for spring each and every year. Sometimes you can find yellow bells blooming way back in the mountains. Don Casada taught me yellow bells are a sure sign of an old homeplace. I believe the bright yellow blooms of the bushes that continue to grow where people have long since stopped living carry forth part of the beauty and hope from the caring hands which planted them so many years ago.

KEY DATA: CPI: +0.4%; Over-Year: +1.3%; Ex-Food and Energy: +0.4%; Over-Year: +1.7%/ Real Earnings: 0%; Over-Year: +3.3%/ HWOL: +1.7% IN A NUTSHELL: “Inflation is making its way back toward the Fed’s target, but it is still not a major risk.” WHAT IT MEANS: Once upon a time, inflation was something economists and even central bankers worried about. Not so much now that the Fed has announced it will allow inflation to run above target for an extended period. Nevertheless, we do need to follow the numbers. Consumer prices jumped again in August, led by the continued rebound in energy costs, as well as a surge in used car and clothing prices. In contrast, shelter expenses remained tame, food prices settled down and health care expenses, which had been exploding, took a breather. Price gains over the year are moving back toward the two percent level, though they still have a way to go. But who really cares about food, energy, housing or clothing? What really matters is the index for cakes, cupcakes and cookies. Those prices cratered in August and are down from their August 2019 level. I’m happy. Inflation really matters when it starts restraining household spending power significantly. That is where real earnings, which adjusts for inflation, comes in. For consumers to buy more, their incomes have to rise faster than inflation. In August, that didn’t happen. Also, the increase in inflation-adjusted income, over the year, is decelerating as lower-wage workers get pulled back into the economy. This is a weighted average and the distribution of job gains across industries and professions makes a difference. Initially, those lower paid workers lost their jobs at a huge pace, raising the weighted average. Now that they are being rehired, they are lowering the average back towards its pre-pandemic level. But for the individual worker, not the economy on average, rising inflation is not good news, no matter what the Fed thinks. The Conference Board’s Help Wanted OnLine index rose solidly in August after having skyrocketed in July. It is closing in on its all-time high set in January. Total payrolls may still be down by 11.5 million employees, but demand for workers is solid, indicating job gains should remain strong. IMPLICATIONS: The Fed has made it clear that when it comes to its dual mandate, stable inflation is job three. First comes the unemployment rate, then comes something else, maybe equity prices, and lagging well behind is inflation. If it is too hot, so be it. And that is not a bad approach to take, given we have been in a too-low inflation environment for a long time. Inflation can ultimately be controlled if it is too high, but too low a rate creates the risk of falling into a deflationary environment. If that happened, the economy would be in real trouble. So, while we watch the inflation numbers out of habit, I suspect their value will be limited for a very long time, except for its impact on consumption. Given that wage gains have been limited for over a decade, it is hard to see why they would accelerate in this still very high unemployment rate environment. Rising inflation remains a negative indicator, but for consumption not for interest rates. Right now, workers are making more money, but by working longer, not by getting pay raises. With the Fed on hold for who knows how long, once the reopening process settles down, the outlook for consumption may not be as bright as many in the markets are currently planning for. But with the demand for labor still high, we may not see a significant moderation in total household spending until next year.

In Toronto, RECO Canada designed and supplied precast panels for the new gardiner expressway ramp to lower Simcoe Street. Located in the City of Toronto, the York-Bay-Yonge off-ramp to Lower Simcoe street reconstruction project is part of a large push to modernize the waterfront area and accommodate high volumes of traffic flow from the Gardiner Expressway into the downtown core. Built in the 1960’s, the old ramp has been referred to as the “Hot Wheels Ramp” by the current Mayor of Toronto due to the number of loops present restricting the use below the ramp itself. RECo Canada was retained to design and supply a curved ramp consisting of 1.5 x 1.5m square shaped precast panels with a ‘fractured fin’ architectural finish. The walls had to be designed to accommodate the pump station inside the ramp. The construction was completed towards the end of 2017, with the ramp officially open to public use in late January of 2018.

Thandie Newton portrays Maeve Millay in the Westworld TV show. She is one of the main protagonists and is a host quickly becoming sentient and independent. At the beginning of the show she is a brothel madam and wears a vintage red and black dress that has been custom made. When she becomes fully sentient in the season 1 finale (episode 10), she trades her 1800s-era dress for a more modern (or futuristic should I say ?) and bossy outfit. If you want to dress like Maeve in Westworld, check out our complete guide: Complete Maeve Costume Guide Maeve Original Outfit The dress that Thandie Newton wears in Westworld for her Maeve Millay role as a brothel madam is a vintage purple red and black dress. It is custom made and 3D printed exclusively for the show by costume designer Ane Crabtee. All is not lost however, as you can have a similar look by combining a corset with a long dress. What's great about that is that the dress is great for everyday wear, and the corset well... for.. you know. The gloves that Thandie Newton wears in Westworld for her Maeve Millay role as a brothel madam are black victorian lace fingerless gloves. These Aurora gloves are a pretty close match. The folding fan and jewelry that Thandie Newton wears in Westworld for her Maeve role are important details that make your costume a lot more realistic. Once again they are custom made and/or 3D printed but we've managed to find very similar items. Maeve Sentient Outfit Want to say something ?

Online recruitment experts Jamie Mistlin and Anna Taylor have announced the launch of an exciting new job site dedicated solely to remote jobs. In their 15 years in the industry, they have encouraged employers to offer remote working as a benefit to help them capture in-demand talent. However, they quickly became frustrated by the limitations of traditional jobs boards where a role is locked to a single location, usually restricting recruiters to a pool of candidates within a 25-mile radius. The first of its kind in the UK, remote-jobs.com allows companies to effectively advertise their remote working opportunities in a way not possible before. This timely venture allows recruiters to advertise any type of remote role by using the site’s custom search filters which allow employers to categorise the remote level the opportunity provides. This includes opportunities from 100% Remote to Ad-hoc Remote (1-2 days per month) or even Field Remote (UK / Region-based with client-side meetings). This gives a voice to remote-friendly roles that are currently lost on generalist job boards, putting more opportunities in front of a larger talent pool. With remote working on the rise and catalysed by the COVID-19 pandemic, forward-thinking businesses are updating their flexible working policies. remotejobs aims to nurture a community of such companies and help them realise the full value of remote working for some or all of the time. In addition to expanding companies’ candidate pools and helping to reduce overhead costs, some of the proven benefits are: - Ends - For further information, please contact: Note to editors: remotejobs co-founder Jamie Mistlin is available for further comment. “At remotejobs our mission is to help companies unlock more talent by being more remote-friendly. Over the years we’ve been championing the benefits of offering remote days as a key benefit and have seen hiring wars won and lost on a company’s policy to offer remote-working. Great talent can be based anywhere and remotejobs’ remit is to put more opportunities in front of relevant talent who’s dream job could be with an employer 250 miles away.”

Following receipt of FDA 510(k) clearance in early August and uplisting their shares to Nasdaq, BioSig Technologies Inc. (BSGM) is readying for launch of their flagship product, the PURE EP System, and simultaneously ramping up investor outreach efforts. These initiatives will be supported by an aggregate of $12.5M in new financing raised during 2018 (including $4.3M in August). BioSig is a medical device company engaged in the development and commercialization of a proprietary signal processing platform designed to significantly improve real-time information and clinical decision-making in the ~$4B – $5B electrophysiology (EP) market. Their PURE (Precise Uninterrupted Real-time evaluation of Electrograms) EP System is a signal acquisition and processing system used by electrophysiologists during cardiac ablation procedures to help identify areas of tissue that create an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). When drug therapy fails to control certain complex heart conditions such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, cardiologists often turn to catheter ablation. A catheter ablation procedure includes an electrophysiology (EP) study, which provides information about the cause and location of the arrythmia, followed by ablation (i.e. destruction) of the tissue that is causing the abnormal heart rhythm. A catheter ablation procedure involves inserting one or more flexible catheters into large veins in the groin or neck and threading them towards the heart. Information gathered during the EP phase of the procedure involves recording of the heart’s electrical signals, ‘pacing’ (speeding/slowing) of the heart and arrythmia induction. When the problem areas have been identified and located, heating (or extreme cold) is then employed to ablate the tissue that is believed to be the cause of the arrythmia. Unfortunately, the quality of information from electrophysiology studies can be compromised by interference, or ‘noise’, from proximal electrical equipment during recording. And while noise-reduction filters are currently available to mitigate electronic interference, they can alter signal quality. Success of catheter ablation often relies on the information obtained during the EP study and signal noise is a contributor to low atrial fibrillation procedural success rates. Risk of recurrence of atrial fibrillation 18 months following catheter ablation has shown to be as high as 40% – 50% (Verma A., et al. Approaches to Catheter Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation. May 7, 2015 N Engl J Med 2015; 372:1812-1822 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1408288). Given that recurrence often requires the catheter ablation procedure be repeated, the importance of eliminating noise and otherwise improving the quality and accuracy of information from the EP study can be of significant value (to the clinician, patient and cost of healthcare). Improving signal quality is important to electrophysiologists and is exactly what PURE EP aims to do. PURE EP, which functions alongside existing recording and mapping systems, utilizes surface electrocardiogram and intracardiac multichannel recording to provide electrophysiologists with real-time information during catheter ablation procedures. It has been designed to provide precise and unique recording functionality that is not currently available in the marketplace. By improving signal clarity and reducing signal ‘noise’, PURE EP has demonstrated the potential to increase an electrophysiologist’s efficiency and accuracy and, therefore, reduce rates of repeat procedures – thereby reducing associated costs and improving patient outcomes. These benefits are of significant value-add, according to a BioSig-sponsored market study of U.S. electrophysiologists conducted by Healthcare Research International. The survey respondents rated all six features listed of the PURE EP System as being ‘Very Helpful’ for ablation procedures, particularly those related to overall noise reduction and improvement in signal clarity. PURE EP Validation Human (clinical) studies are expected to be an integral component of BSGM’s commercial strategy and complement PURE EP’s preclinical experience. Validation to-date of the PURE EP technology includes multiple publications and a collaborative effort between BioSig and some of the most highly respected cardiology centers in the United States. – Texas Cardiac Arrythmia Institute: since 2011 BSGM collaborated with the Texas Cardiac Arrythmia Institute at St. David’s Medical Center in Austin, TX which aided in initial validation of the technology

The Portland Trail Blazers are one of the best out of the West. Dwyane Wade was aware and again turned back the clock and carried his squad to a huge win. Wade scored 15 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter, including a jumper with 13.6 seconds left to break a tie and help the Miami Heat beat the Trail Blazers 108-104 on Wednesday night. Portland was 24-4 coming into the night when scoring at least 104 points. The Blazers were also 7-0 when shooting better than 50 percent — they shot 51 percent in this loss. After Wade hit the go-ahead jumper, Portland turned it over on the inbounds pass. Wade got fouled four seconds later and sealed it with two free throws. “He just understands the moment right now,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We don’t have to talk about it. Here’s the ball — make the play for the team.” LaMarcus Aldridge played lights out in front of the Heat fans. He led Portland with 34 points and 12 rebounds. Damian Lillard scored 17 and Arron Afflalo added 15 for the Trail Blazers, who fell a half game behind Houston in the race for third in the Western Conference. Aldridge got into the lane and scored with 1:35 left to tie the game. After Hassan Whiteside blocked a shot from Robin Lopez at the rim, Aldridge got the offensive rebound — his only one on that end of the floor all night — and scored with 52.1 seconds left to put the Blazers up 104-102. But the rest was all Wade. “I’m just doing whatever I can to help my teammates,” Wade said. Up next, the Trail Blazers visit Orlando on Friday, Heat host Denver on Friday.

Yes, you heard right, underground data centers, right out of a James Bond movie where the scheming villain stored all his data and made evil plans to hold the planet hostage. Providing an extremely secure solution for data protection, even against nuclear war, they are simply wow! Underground data centers have been a reality since the dawn of computers itself. Mainly used for military applications they became famous during World War II and especially in the cold war when data security was of prime importance. Today a lot of underground data centers exist, a few know, many unknown. Going underground would challenge most supply based entities to the data center; say food, air, and logistics. Considering these drawbacks and a few more, there are still many underground data centers that are active today, let’s find out why. One of the main drawbacks to human living conditions can turn out to be an amazing advantage to data center operation. You heard right! No fire. Considering a depth of at least 3000 feet, underground caverns have hypoxic or inert air ventilation. Simple, no oxygen, no fire! Additionally there will be no secondary extinguishing related damages like corrosion, harm to the environment, air poisoning and so on. Hard disks are the most affected during a fire, by the fire or by the extinguishing equipment; hence, here there is no damage because the fire extinguishing equipment is not triggered at all. At the end of it, there is continuous operation of all equipment. Nukes are Puppies, it is Safer than a Vault Under layers of solid rock or soil there are very few access points. Most underground data centers are setup inside a solid concrete cavity. Most utility furniture is bolted securely to the floor; hence the entire data center is structurally one single unit. Some military grade data centers are even enclosed in a steel cavity which can be pretty thick at times. Some underground data centers even have 2 feet thick steel gates and a single entrance and exit. If there is an underground cave of ample space, it can be used to house a data center. Here, only one side has to be walled, the natural rock formation can act as the rest of the cavity. This can save on construction costs. Impenetrable even from an external penetration possibility like a sea or land drill, underground data centers are even nuke proof! These arrangements are like miniature fortifications and literally impregnable. An EMP is an easy way to knock out electronic equipment. Electronics once struck by an EMP can never be restored. Underground data centers are well equipped to shield all equipment against EMPs. Heavy steel plating, statically charged regions and dynamic pulse repulsing devices may optionally be installed. Even with a full scale war on the surface, the data center can operate seamlessly at all times. EMP protection of an underground data center is especially useful for military personnel. Some underground data centers are built under layers of ice; it inevitably gets really cold inside the data center cavity. Air economisers are used to circulate air within and voila, instant cooling. In fact in some really cold countries there is no need to have additional cooling at all. There is a huge saving in power costs and an increased independence from the world ‘above’. Secure Incoming Cabling If located close to a beach, under sea optic fibre cables can be directly connected to the data center. There is literally no sourcing for connection whatsoever. Military grade secure lines can be established with ease. Underground data centers can also take advantage of underground power supply; it’s secure fast and cannot be easily tampered with. The Creamy Layer The safest way to have a secure backup is at an underground data center. There is probably nothing safer our planet and the technology that exists today can offer! Yet, not everyone is ready to invest in an underground data center, it may have loads of advantages and cost-cutting options available but it’s still a sizeable investment. Once locked down some underground data centers have no access points whatsoever, and then they pose a serious threat to whole nations’ when hosting say, a ‘notorious’ website. Many major search engines and social networking giants have chosen secure underground data centers as a backup. Running multiple operations across North America and Europe they are slowly migrating out of the Americas. Soon their regular websites may be run from the underground. Underground data centers promise connectivity beyond parallel, so why not live off what the earth has to offer? Why not go underground?

it was 5 am saturday morning. she was wide awake. sleeping in wasn’t happening today. another roller coaster week in her never a dull moment life was over. it was time to rest and reflect, laugh again. it was a melting pot of warfare, sleepless nights, tears, passionate conversations with bad endings. demons swearing at her. nice. what was that about being blessed when you’re persecuted and people talk ugly to you? she shook her head and laughed. the devil only has a hissy fit when you’re doing something right. well then. trust the process “trust the process,” her friend told her. when she heard it, she knew it came right from papa god’s heart. trust the process. indeed. she’d asked papa for his best for her. she’d seen him through his papa’s eyes for some time now. she saw him in truth, in perfection, as a beloved son even when he wasn’t fully awake to this reality. he’d had brilliant prophetic words spoken over him, words of promise, hope and a future. he saw vignettes of unlimited possibilities and potential, the ways papa god wanted to bless him as his son. he saw how his gifts and talents could be brought to life. most importantly, he was presented with the beautiful gift of a wife, a full partner he could walk with in this life. would he step into his destiny? would he come back for her? this was a major life decision. in returning to her, he’d be turning his face fully back to papa god. it meant walking arm in arm with him in unity. it meant stepping into sonship. it meant radical change in direction, a homecoming worth celebrating loudly. the cloud of witnesses perched on the edge of their seats wondering how this would play out. would he choose well? would he be bold and courageous? yes, the stakes were high but the reward was great. she’d prayed intently over him and his family for cleansing and restoration in their blood lines. for all the enemy stole to be returned to them 7-fold. weeks turned to months, months grew to years. she wept over him, took communion over him, visioning life with him. she determined to cooperate fully with papa god, willing him to have every opportunity to make the best choice for his future and future generations. she prayed for wisdom and revelation that the eyes of his understanding would be open. she prayed for his heart to be one with father god’s heart again. she called to his spirit to rise up and lead his soul, declaring his spirit would only be led by holy spirit. faithful friends stood with her and prayed. in all of it she kept telling papa god she wanted his best. she gave him wide margins to work things out on his own. she spoke when holy spirit prompted her – and sometimes when silence was the better option. grace covered her. unconditional love often gets an unexpected response wisdom dictated several things she would not compromise. those things had earned her unfriending, blocking and ‘goodbye.’ unconditional love often gets an unexpected response. jesus chimed in on her thoughts, showing her some of his daily experience. he’s telling us, “i love you, i’m here for you, not leaving you. ever.” his compassion rises, watching us trying to stitch up our gaping wounds. we lay there bleeding, still holding up the hand, saying, “i’m good here. get the hell away from me.” see how we are see how we are. still, he doesn’t leave. he waits until we give in, showing him our wounds, allowing him to love and heal us. she remembered her conversation with jesus, drowning in her own lake of mess. “i am so freaking broken. what do you want with me??” she could see it wasn’t him rejecting her. it was a combination of pain, fear and angst speaking, a realization that the old ways of dodging brokenness weren’t working. she didn’t leave, either. she loved him hard, praying for him when she would have rather kicked his backside. love never fails, never gives up. it gets up in the morning to love another day, to love the hell away. now, she waited, trusting the process, waiting on the promise. it was a birthday gift from a *sister, the one who filled the role of *jonathan in their david and jonathan relationship. it was breathtaking, in full bloom the day she received it, adorned with five beautiful white blossoms. she’d never had an orchid before. it intimidated her. she knew they could be tricky to care for. not only that, but this was a gift from a friend. what if it died? this was different than failing with a plant you bought for yourself. there was pressure to keep the plant alive and nurture the relationship that was clearly from papa god. oh boy. over time, the delicate white petals dried up and gently fell to the cabinet below. the stems that held the petals also dried up and fell off. only a long green stalk remained where so much glory and beauty had shown weeks earlier. even the stalk began to dry up. she clipped it back, hopeful it would prevent further decay. it did not. desperate, she cut it back again. ugh. this was a failure. no, she was failing at caring for the white orchid. so she thought. there was danger in overwatering these plants. she followed the watering instructions. and somehow overwatered it. the little pieces of bark on the top of the pot grew mold. the small new shoots at the bottom of the plant were moldy. more failure. frustrated, she cut off some of the moldy shoots. they would not recover from the mold. conversely, the green leaves at the base of the plant were huge. they looked healthy while the stalk that once held the flowers was dried up and quite a bit shorter than before. she shook her head. overall, the prognosis was poor. the big leaves were healthy but would it ever bloom again? every day she looked at the orchid, wondering if she should just throw it in the dust bin and be done with it. looking at it was tormenting, a constant reminder of failure. one day, with a burst of resolve, she moved it to the window ledge. here it would get intense sunlight whenever the sun made an appearance during the rainy winter. she still gave it an occasional drink, teetering between willing it to live and wanting to pitch it. she was sure she sucked at caring for this gift. where had the green thumbs gone? months went by. on the saturday morning before easter sunday, she decided to give it a little drink. she considered it might be wise to turn the whole plant around on the window ledge. the backside of the orchid could benefit from the sun, too. this complicated plant closely mirrored another relationship. she wrestled with vision, hope, and big promises from papa god about this one. all her eggs were in this one basket. the investment was great, the risk high, the reward and return not yet realized. it made her lay awake at night sometimes. what was that about walking by faith and not by sight? reaching down, she turned the plant 180° and set it down gently. sitting back down at her desk, she saw it. there was a new, beautiful green shoot growing from the stalk she’d cut back and left for dead. not only that, there was another smaller shoot growing up at the base of the pot on the top of one of those big, healthy green leaves. new life was springing up all over this plant. she was dumbstruck. leaning in for closer examination with wide eyes and eyebrows raised, she found yet another new shoot growing from underneath another large green leaf. even the moldy shoots that remained were growing new shoots. what??? the stalk she’d thought was dead was now producing new life. she looked at it, tears running down her face. new life was springing up all over this plant she’d wanted to toss out. she looked spoke to the orchid and the man she loved in her words of blessing. “i bless you to grow and bloom more than you were ever told you could.” the plant and the man would respond beautifully to her words of love and encouragement. it was easter morning when she wrote this post. the deer were passing through the back yard, playing and leaping as they often did. her morning cup of coffee went down easy as she listened to elisabeth cooper (the journey) sing about the banqueting table set before her. the plant continued to speak to her. things were seldom as they appeared. more tears flowed. then she heard daddy god’s quiet voice break into her thoughts, mingling with her hopeful tears. her experience with high tea was limited to british tv programs. she’d spent countless hours howling in laughter watching ‘fawlty towers‘, ‘keeping up appearances‘ and ‘to the manor born.‘ she’d owned every episode on vhs, even had them memorized, a fact that was a well kept secret until now. she’d always had a fascination with all things british, the humor, the mannerisms, jane eyre, the yorkshire moors and old english estates. fancy that. her momma told her of her heritage as a child: english, irish and german. the german slice was of little interest, further proven out by her near failure of german class in high school. the english and irish pieces of her heritage, though, they were fascinating and very alive. she was convinced narnia was a real place somewhere over there. and by george, she was going to have a chocolate box cottage one day, yes, she was. papa god, good papa that he is, why, he even brought her a friend whose roots were all united kingdom. she grew up having tea several times a day. fascinating. black tea, cucumber sandwiches, sausage rolls, little cakes and tarts, biscuits and digestive crackers. licorice all sorts and peppermints. she knew about all of it, lived it. brilliant. weeks prior, her friend had told her of this place, a real destination, a very british place with all manner of british fair. oh my. they plotted and planned to visit and eat english pastry. filled with gluten. and sugar. it was time to break all the eating rules if only for a bit. finally, the day came. they were going to go the ‘place’ for high tea. she speculated to said friend, “certainly, there will be a portal in the place and we’ll just translate to the united kingdom. why not?” indeed, why not? in keeping with the english theme, rain fell steadily as they drove along to their destination. the pair of them were rather a sanitized version of thelma and louise with a jesus bent, slightly more than eccentric and completely over people pleasing. this was their time. yes, it was. her friend encountered a problem during the drive. the passenger headrest did not fit her head and neck properly, so for nearly the entire trip, she was not only uncomfortable, but also in a bit of pain. clearly, this was not acceptable. alas, there was no way to remedy the issue while they were driving, so on they went. each lady had dressed for the occasion, looking very lovely, all made up and gushing with childlike anticipation. when they pulled up to the front of the restaurant and gift shop, she put the car in park and took in the sight before them. her mouth opened to a perfect ‘o’ like shirley temple might have done. she drew in a long breath like a little girl seeing her first lollipop. the women turned and looked at each other. oh. my. goodness. they had arrived. they were going in. this was going to be good, jolly good, right? they walked to the entrance and paused, trying to decide who would go in first. it was too much excitement. walking through the foyer, they approached the doorway into the restaurant. a voice without a body asked how many were in their party. she responded, “two, please,” to the invisible woman who then appeared to take them into the dining room. they slowly entered the charming, quaint space and looked about. the hostess encouraged them to sit wherever they would like. they agreed on a table near the window with a wall opposite them on one side and more tables on the other. the wall featured various photos of british royalty. they gazed upon the royal family, prince philip and the queen mum. she was resting on the wall right above them, gazing down upon their table. surely all would be well if the queen was keeping watch. their waitress left them to peruse the menus. more big eyes formed as oohs and aahs sounded over the potential selections available to their palates. this was akin to the wallace and gromit episode, ‘a grand day out.‘ could it get better? they decided on the high tea plate. it looked like a feast. after placing their orders, they looked at each other across the table, still hardly believing they were there. it was surreal. america was a world away as they took in the atmosphere. her friend was moving her neck about, still trying to ease the ache she felt from the headrest issue. always the fixer, always the healer, she looked across the table and spoke. “if you ever get a pair of those balls….” her words trailed off as her ears heard what her mouth had just uttered in public. at the very proper british restaurant. it hit her at the same time she observed her friend’s expression, the mirth showing in her eyes and already escaping her mouth. and then it was over. it went from zero to sixty in three seconds flat as both women erupted in laughter, doubled over with hands over their mouths. did that really just happen? yes, love, it most certainly did. brilliant. kind reader, do stop for a moment. it’s not what you think. really. those balls are not the balls you’re imagining right now. these balls were invented by a ballerina in new york city. these are different, for different purposes. oh my. google miracle balls. you will see. back to the problem at hand. there was no way to reel those words back in. she didn’t dare look at the family to her right. she didn’t know if the father or his children had heard her words, but they were certainly hearing them try to contain the snorts and chortles. crikey, mate. after several minutes of hysterics, they contained themselves. the queen mum hanging on the wall was no longer looking on with approval, however. her countenance had gone from a controlled, stately expression to one of stern disapproval. who were these two brash american women sorely lacking in manners and decorum, and what was a queen to do? enjoy high tea, that’s what. and they did. what a meal. it was more gluten and sugar than either of them had consumed in six months. sometimes it helped her to write about things. sometimes it did not. she still wasn’t sure where this would land on the processing meter. the rock band ‘til tuesday‘ played on her itunes. those old familiar songs coaxed her angry seventeen year-old girl back out of hiding to confront this goliath. she was still angry, and she came out swinging. it was safe to be angry now, safe to confront the injustices, the lies and the shame. she was quite cognizant of the fact that justice would not come from him. it would only come from papa god, the only one who could fix the wrongs, make them right, restore what had been stolen. innocence. purity. trust. it was all true. he made bad choices in abusing his position of authority. he did bad things to her. he broke her heart, stole her self-worth. it was also truth his actions did not define him anymore than they defined her – that was harder to reconcile. it was ugly all around. the movie reel of those years was painful to watch as it played through her head, even after so much time. she had no desire to out him, no desire to destroy his life or family. if it came out, it would be because he himself told the story. it would not be her doing. she found a recent photo of him on the internet. he was all gray now. so would she be if it weren’t for hair color. back in the day, no one said anything when they saw it happening. and it happened a lot. thousands upon thousands of young girls at high schools around the country were manipulated, seduced and sexually assaulted by male teachers. the ones there to protect became the predators. it happened to the boys, too. and it still does. was it easier to overlook adult indiscretions than protect a child? apparently so. it was easier than confrontation resulting in a lost reputation or a statutory rape charge. no one knew much about soul ties or soul wounds in those days. no one knew what would utterly break the fragile heart of a seventeen year-old girl. maybe he didn’t know, either. maybe he would have made a different choice. maybe not. she hadn’t been the only one. his history wasn’t any nicer than hers, she recalled. an abusive father. beatings. similar story, different town. too many similar stories, not enough love, not enough goodness. not enough honor. no healthy boundaries. no respect for women. and no jesus. the summer of heartbreak it was not the summer of love. it was the summer of heartbreak and more loss, the quick, necessary construction of more protective walls. when he took her up north for a weekend, it was to tell her he was breaking up with her. he was going to go live his dream, moving far enough away to put several states and ocean water between them. even now, she couldn’t remember when she began to cry or how she stopped. the song ‘voices carry’ played, cautioning her to keep her voice down, “hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry, hush, hush, keep it down now, voices carry..” the motorcycle ride home from that weekend was several hours long. a motorhome crossing the center line on a curve nearly took them out. the weather was a mix of sunshine, rain and hail. she had blisters on her face for weeks after. the questions still came to her. school administrators, why didn’t you protect us? you saw it – you saw it all. the other teachers saw it all, too. teenagers are no less vulnerable than small children – the vulnerability just looks different. dad, mom, where were you? she knew where they were. miserable in their own mess. did anyone see her? did anyone love her? was she just invisible? helloooo? was anyone there? sigh. yes, her parents did the best they could do with what they had at the time. no use crying over what was anymore. well, no. not exactly. to forgive without fully feeling anger or grief leaves a wound that weeps silently for years. righteous anger demands expression as much as it demands justice. she loved her parents, honored them as a choice of her will. it was the right thing to do. in the big picture, it mattered quite a lot, even though there were days she wanted to be jenny from the movie, ‘forrest gump’ and throw rocks at the house she grew up in. throwing rocks only caused more brokenness. it wasn’t a solution. throwing rocks wouldn’t take back the hand of the parent that slapped her, upsetting her so much she hyperventilated, her left lung collapsing. she called him to take her to the hospital. there was no one else she could call. he was bothered, annoyed even. he was getting ready to leave on vacation and there she was all emotional and unable to breathe. he took her to the emergency room in his pickup, went home, and headed west on his motorcycle. she told the doctor what happened at home. he blew it off, didn’t report it. when her mom came to visit her in hospital, she spoke firmly to her. “tell that ********* if he ever hits me again, he’s going to jail.” all the #metoo stuff triggered memories and opened old wounds. she could see his face, even recall the last time he showed up at her house at 2 am, throwing little pebbles at her bedroom window to wake her up. her father came downstairs to wake her, announcing, ‘that guy is outside waiting for you,’ as she wondered what he wanted. perhaps he had guilt. she’d heard he slept with another high school girl. more insult heaped upon injury. and now he was here, quite drunk. she was seventeen. he was twenty-four. the numbers said what they said. he should have known better in a few things. they walked off the farm yard out to the creek. he was playing, acting strangely, teasing her. she was not amused. they walked back to the farm. she begged him not to get back on his motorcycle. he was too drunk to drive. he left anyway. that was the last time she saw him. she wondered if he’d given up the scientology cult, if he’d recognized jesus coming after him hard yet, she hoped so. now, she prayed for it. her emotions still registered anger. but it was good anger. it was okay. be angry, sin not. she looked him in the eyes in the spirit. he could barely look back at her hazel eyes on fire. “let me be clear. you had no right to take what was not yours. but i forgive you.” with a choice of her will, she forgave him. she’d asked jesus to take it all. maybe throwing a bucket of rocks one by one into the river would help process any remaining feelings of anger. there was more. hidden freemasonry curses on her life demanded things of her she never knew, never agreed to. the unknown agreement her grandfather made with the occult set her on paths of death and destruction. grandpa didn’t know what he signed up for, and when he realized it, he couldn’t get out. momma’s life was cursed, as was her dad’s, their life together. curses of all manner came on her, beginning in the womb, bringing devastation on every level. she realized she had rejected her own beauty because it was always used to destroy her. now, she could embrace that same beauty with no more fear of exploitation, manipulation or abuse of authority. she was papa’s girl before anything else these days. she had overcome the past. she wasn’t defined by the things that were done to her or said about her. she wasn’t the whore the clique girls at school said she was. she wasn’t the broken, unloved seventeen year-old anymore, either. absolute truth tells her a different story about who she is, about who the people who hurt her really are. absolute truth declares all humanity is made in the image and likeness of papa god. humans are good, the very crown of creation. even in the darkest moments, true glory dwells within the man or woman doing the bad things. humans already in the light of papa god must seek it and see it in those still sleeping, to awaken them, to call them into sonship with papa god. she did a once-over of her life now. she was rich. rich in peace. rich in friendships. rich in love, compassion and forgiveness. rich in laughter, rich in joy. the visual came a moment later. smiling now, she sat right down in the weeds and waited for the poppies to grow up around her. for years, they’d been watered with her tears, sorrow, forgiveness, laughter & hope. they grew strong, tall and brilliant, drowning out the dullness of the weeds. jesus took her through her healing when it was safe. he made her new. she was a graceful, glorious one. and always had been. she wasn’t sure when the thought came to her. and to go to that restaurant? she hadn’t been there since they’d last been there together. the pleasant thought stayed with her until it became almost a compulsion. breakfast food. ham and eggs. what? the weekend arrived and the prompting to go out to breakfast persisted. but it wouldn’t happen today. today was just about rest. she had no intention of leaving the house. the last week brought revelation and information she hadn’t necessarily appreciated, even though it was necessary. mucking around in family cobwebs was dusty and dirty. an epsom salt bath to get it off was in order. saturday was largely uneventful, exactly the way she wanted it. then sunday morning came. she rose early and cleaned up. should she go to church? no. that was easy. she was going out to breakfast. ham and eggs called her. ridiculous, but all right. in the meantime, another friend texted her. she was going through some transitions and needed time. they talked until the issues were unpacked and prayers were spoken to resolve them. it was good to be daughters of the king. he was kind, loving, patient. he ruled his kingdom well. she left the house, got in her car and drove downtown to the restaurant. there was parking right in the front of the stairs up to the entrance. she parked and sat in the car for a moment. off to the right was the courtyard they’d sat in so many times after church drinking iced teas, beer or hot tea depending on the weather and the mood. they’d sorted things in this place, laughing, crying, grieving, making friends with their favorite waitress, all the while looking to the future. the memories were sweet and there would be more of them. soon. this morning, no one was sitting outside. it was still cool, the weekend prior to the grand eclipse. everyone was out of town getting in position to witness the heaven-kissing-earth event. the only activity was the young woman sweeping the entrance to the courtyard. she was a teenager, fifteen or sixteen perhaps, with long sandy, blonde hair pulled back in a pony tail. she was assigned to wait on any guests who chose to sit outside during her shift. she was drawn to her. why? she grabbed her bag and exited the car, greeting the young woman at the same time. “good morning! how are you?” there was purpose in being friendly. a door needed opening. they made some small talk, and then she saw them. the young woman’s right cheek had scratches all over it. “honey, what happened to your cheek?” she asked. the young woman hesitated, unsure of herself. was she embarrassed? was she afraid? what was it? finally, the waitress met her gaze and answered. “i, uh, fell down. i’m sort of clumsy. i fall down a lot.” she looked into the young woman’s eyes intently. did she call her out or did she meet her where she was? grace took over. “well, then. you are a daughter of god, and he didn’t make you to be clumsy and fall down. do you mind if i pray for you, honey?” “no, not at all,” the waitress smiled shyly. she bridged the distance between them with two steps and put her left hand on the girl’s right shoulder. in a few sentences, she commanded her angels to protect her from future falls and harm of any kind, declaring that daddy god would order her steps and make them sure. she blessed her. when she opened her eyes, she saw the young woman still had her eyes closed. it was a sweet image to see. as they finished, a young man, either a cook or a waiter from inside the restaurant called out from the top of the stairs to young woman. hmm. okay. she would have time to observe more while she ate. she went up the stairs and got seated. the menu choices were varied and good, but she stuck to ham, eggs, potatoes and sourdough toast. as she ate, she recalled another meal in that place with other dear friends she hadn’t seen in months. more good memories. it was good to be here and think on happy things. the young woman appeared to clear her plate and refill her water glass. she had been touched that a stranger loved her enough to pray for her, and not say out loud what they both knew: she was not clumsy. she did not fall. someone had pushed her down. hard. they kept the secret between them and daddy god. it was fine for now. but when she went back there again, she would be checking on the girl who wasn’t clumsy. after the gathering, things opened up and began to accelerate. the help and revelation she’d asked father for were present and available. it was time to clear out the mess, to get some things scrubbed clean. as she considered what was before her, she knew she needed wisdom and equipping. “teach me, lord. i have to be equipped.” he answered her quickly. “i’ve made you to be a warrior, a strong one. do not be afraid to learn the things i am going to teach you to overcome the enemy where you live.” she answered him simply. “okay.” he went on to give her a visual to help her walk it out. she saw a woman in a torn, dirty t-shirt and jeans on her knees in the dirt. she was washing clothes the old fashioned way with a washboard and a tub of water. each piece of clothing had years of wrong alignments, curses, stains and grime that had become part of the fabric. her long hair partially obscured her view as she rubbed each piece of clothing across the washboard until it looked like new. her nails were broken, her arms and shoulders ached. she was tired, yes, but it didn’t matter. enough was enough. she was going to recover all her family had suffered. the days of demons controlling her, her family and her city were coming to an end. broken to whole this new book was packed with revelation. both women bought the book at the roughly the same time. her friend began with the final chapter. that signaled significance, so she began there, too. what she read set her over on tilt. it was true, then. those gut feelings didn’t lie. she dialed her momma’s cell phone. it was late there. she might be sleeping. the telephone rang several times. to her surprise, momma answered the phone. “mom. you’re still up?” “yes, i’m just watching television.” “i wasn’t sure you’d be awake. i know it’s late there. listen, i’ve been looking into some things and i have some questions. do you know if anyone on your side of the family or dad’s was ever involved in freemasonry?” momma jumped right in. “your dad would never get involved with anything like that, no. but grandpa was in it. he joined through the pipe fitter’s union or something. they promised him a lot of money when he retired.” she held her breath for a moment. momma continued. “you know, they don’t believe in god, don’t you?” “yes, mom. i know. it’s evil. and it explains why grandpa was so tormented when he died.” momma’s next words caught her off guard. “i know. that’s why i left the room.” she recalled the sounds of the sick, elderly man screaming in his hospital bed. both women were silent as their personal movie reels played in their minds simultaneously. the unredeemed parts of his soul were about to go through cleansing fire. it must have been terrifying for him. this was a new topic of conversation for them. the younger woman had a myriad of questions answered in a few short sentences, while the older one wasn’t sure where it was going. she continued on interviewing her momma. “what about grandma’s side? were any of them involved in this stuff?” “i don’t know. i was just an infant when grandpa took me away.” “i thought you told me you were three years old when he took you?” “no, i was a baby. they settled it in divorce court. grandpa was 7 or 8 years older than my mother. her mother thought she was too young to be married and have a child.” well, then. clearly some soul fractures occurred in those events. and they continued. this would have been enough trauma, but now it was apparent that freemasonry oaths and curses were in play, too. when grandpa died, they took full effect on her momma. as the oldest child in the next generation, they impacted her as well as her own son. they talked a few minutes longer, reviewing names and rank in her grandmother’s family again. ethelynn (grandma) was the oldest, then tommy. she remembered he was in the air force years. he used to send gifts from japan. one christmas, she received a beautiful jewelry box as the rest of the family unwrapped their own gifts. she still had the japanese doll he had given her momma. she knew uncle dwight. she’d met him and aunt joan when they came for graduation. he’d served in the navy. momma spoke up. “there was another brother, too.” “yes. there was another brother after tommy. all i know about him is that he was a drunk. and dwight was the youngest.” more rabbit trails to follow. something with london persisted. others were seeing it, too. something about going back to her roots. in the meantime, it was time to get clean of the freemasonry mess. she went into the heavenly court of accusation to deal with the matter, acknowledging and agreeing with the accuser that, yes, her grandfather had participated in this evil. she forgave him and pled the blood of jesus as her righteousness. the power of the curses began to weaken instantly. there was more work to do but it was a good beginning. there would be more interviews with momma. additional research identified the local lodges and other fraternal organizations near the place she grew up. on the surface, they appeared harmless enough. but they were not. when allegiance is given to anything but father god, there is idolatry. and there are issues. the weeks apart turned into months. truth be told, it was not easy. standing and believing took on new meaning. her faith grew exponentially in the process. day by day, she took communion, prayed and declared over them and their children, mixed lot that they were. when she prayed, she saw things and then she would speak them out. in one vignette, she saw him with his head resting on father god’s chest, hearing the heartbeat of the one who made him. in another, she saw father god building a new bridge between him and one of his children. they approached from opposite ends of the bridge, getting closer to each other every day. in the moment they met in the middle, they entered into a brand new beginning, one that would make up for the lost years. she knew he was getting closer. father gave her dreams to encourage her to keep doing what she was doing. he was so close, she could feel it. when the breakthrough began, she would see him coming to the house to get her, standing at the front door ringing the doorbell. other times, she would see him at her work. memories of them working in the conference room together would flood back to her mind. they were precious, sweet and painful at the same time. their foundation together had been good, but now it would be strong, solid, immoveable. father said so. several friends knew this road they were walking out. their prayers were impactful, clear, declarative, filled with power and love. praying together, they moved things that had blocked and hindered, clearing a path for his healing, freedom, future and calling. on the day she cut a cord of control and witchcraft, one friend observed it would take him a few days to get his bearings. this action was critical. the ties that held him captive held him no more. now, he was able to move freely like never before. and then, days later, father let her see him walking free. on a thursday night after work, she headed to the pool for a swim. it was the same pool where they’d met a year earlier. it was the same park they walked and talked around many times. she was parked on the street sitting in the car talking to another friend. their conversation went all over the place, rabbit tracks in every direction. they were still getting to know each other. there was a lot of ground to cover – and not. conversations were rarely short and this was no exception. she opened the car windows to keep from melting from the heat. she rolled down the passenger window and looked to her left. what she saw stopped her talking in mid-sentence. there he was, walking on the path. she looked again, hard. yes, it was him. “oh, my god, he’s here, ****’* here!!! he’s about twenty feet away from me walking on the path around the park. what do i do?!?!” ‘”what is the lord saying to you to do?” “i don’t know! my heart is beating so hard i can’t think.” she stopped talking to listen, to feel and know what to do. then it was easy. “i’m not doing anything. i’m not going after him. he still has to come for me when he’s ready. i just get to see him.” crying, she continued, “he looks good. he’s standing taller. and his gait seems more purposeful, like he’s freer and sorting things out.” she waited to see if he went into the pool building. he did not. he kept walking. “okay, he’s out of sight now. i’ve got to get in the building while he’s on the other side of the park.” they postponed their remaining conversation until later. she went on to swim. what was normally relaxing was anything but after the excitement of the ‘sighting.’ she kept an eye on the men’s changing room to see if he’d walk through the door. when later came and their conversation resumed, both women agreed how special it was for father to let her see him. she knew a few more things now, with certainty: he was healing. he was free. he was stronger. and he would be coming for her soon. the next morning, another friend messaged her. she asked if something had happened with him due to her post the night before: “tears of joy, peace, contentment, high expectations and a pint of organic vanilla ice cream drowning in chocolate sauce. it was a grand day. ♥” this friend had surmised correctly, and she had some encouragement to bring, as well. she offered what father showed her: “it’s not a long road between you two,” father says. “turn around, look.” she continued. “i see things in pictures mostly. so i saw the path being swept, and you a short distance away waiting. father is saying turn around and look. maybe an encouragement to see what father is doing.” yes, it was an encouragement. yes, yes, yes! she mulled over the words again. “it’s not a long road between you two. father says, “turn around, look.” she turned around to look. psalm 37:4 the voice take great joy in the eternal! his gifts are coming, and they are all your heart desires! neither one of them remembered exactly when they became facebook friends. was it four months, six months? it was only in recent weeks that regular communication began. they both caught it. something was happening. initially, she wasn’t planning on attending the event. there were obstacles, some natural, some spiritual. the natural ones were easy to see, the spiritual not so much. she sensed dark spirits trying to keep her from going, from connecting. one friend lovingly prodded her until she agreed to go. she let go of the obstacles she could see and pressed through the ones she could not. father god would take care of it all. it was time to go, to meet the tribe in person. and that new friend. there was something there, something important. when the day arrived, she drove north and met with customers she’d grown to love over the years. those appointments went well. now, it was time to meet the new friend and get with ‘family.’ they’d exchanged telephone numbers days earlier, anticipating meeting. the texting began, then the calls to figure out where to meet for coffee. after muddling through disconnects and bad reception, they agreed on a nearby starbucks location. she got there first and ordered, nearly inhaling the frosty frappachino to counter the heat outside. as she waited at the large table, she observed a man to her left. he was mumbling and reading stuff that was well, not right and not truth. the book cover saidsomething about the legion of mary, whatever that was. it was legion, all right, that was for certain. interesting. an enemy plant here? what was he thinking? they would pray for him. of course they would. the liar was shaking in his boots about this relationship. that was obvious. no matter. she prayed in tongues and watched the guy, smiling at him when he would happen to steal a glance her way. then, the moment arrived. the new friend walked in the door and crossed the room. they embraced like old friends only needing to get reacquainted. after having the baristas craft a cool beverage for her, they both sat down on high stools at the table. the conversation began flowing like water. holy spirit joined them and joy erupted all over the place. three hours and thousands of words later, they parted company, albeit unwillingly. she had to get to the meeting. what a thrill it was to drive the last few miles and anticipate the joy to come. after parking, she first met and hugged the precious friend who’d never let up getting her there. then there was everyone else. she was overcome with emotion. it was surreal to see, touch, hug and love so many people she’d only known long distance. all these relationships spanned from a few months to several years. she had yet to comprehend why she screamed not once, but twice when she saw her friend from the u.k. she’d never done that before for anyone. maybe love just does that. even with the physical distance, so much of life had been shared heart to heart in telephone conversations and over chat. that epic friday evening was a wash of glory, tears, laughter and worship on a level she had sorely missed for years. she was finally with family, her tribe. and it was good. but someone was missing. saturday morning came. more teaching, more fellowship, then late lunch at a local restaurant mulling over all the wonderful things happening. she acted on the nudge to call her new friend to come and join them that evening. they agreed on a time, and in a matter of hours, they were sitting together again, side by side this time. she was on the right, her friend on the left. the teaching was good, rich, full of life and impartation. then came time for the offering. she had four one dollar bills in her wallet. the remaining large bills were a gift from the new friend for a trip home to see momma. that was important. she looked at the ones and put them back in her wallet. she had no peace giving the cash. dad spoke. “you don’t need to sow into this conference. it’s my gift to you.” she thanked him silently. the holy moment five minutes later, he spoke again. “i want you to give ****** your ring.” she felt the prick in her heart immediately as she slid the two-toned ring off of her left ring finger. it was her favorite, most loved, cherished and enjoyed piece of jewelry. turning to her new friend, she spoke. “father wants you to have my ring.” it was a holy moment as both women’s eyes filled with tears. they knew what it meant, even while seeing only a small fraction of what he wanted for them, with them. it was a david and jonathan moment with strong women in the lead roles. it should have been easy. it was not. after getting her momma reconnected with her stepsisters, she also re-engaged with them in the hopes of learning more about grandma. she talked with the oldest of momma’s stepsisters, then with the youngest. it was great to visit and talk with them. yes, it was. but it did not provide any of the answers to her questions. what was grandma like? what was her personality? what were her hobbies? did she like music? horses? dogs or cats or both? did she bake or cook? no one could really say. grandma had been ill and in hospital often. she was there more than she was home. her daughters didn’t really know her, either. there were a few photos of her left. she asked for copies to be sent to her but they never came. was there any family resemblance? did momma look like grandma? did she look like grandma? hmmm. another idea came to her. would it be possible to see grandma in the cloud of witnesses? could she, would she make herself known? could she share more about her life in a visitation? maybe. it was worth asking daddy god about. he did have one answer for her. he told her one morning on her commute to work. in a brilliant movie reel playing in her mind, so many things became clear. “your grandmother was a worshipper. she loved to sing.”

I did create a website from Jekyll and I’m looking for static web hosting to store it. What’s the fastest and lowest latency for free web hosting\? Here is a topic that I testing about it. Static Web Hosting I’ll deploy the site to a different web hosting to check what’s the best. My choices are following here. Github Page is a free web hosting that supports to build Jekyll static web. It standalone running in Github repository so you can’t use it with Gitlab or other git platforms. Netlify also a free web hosting but there’s a build limit for free user Netlify is supporting a lot of Static web generators. Netlify also allows to use their DNS for a faster routes. Fast.io is super fast file hosting. but I use it as a static web storage. Fast.io provide many features such as Auto minify, Mirage (help speed up loading depend on device), Polish (automate compress image), Scrape Shield (protect site from scraping). Because of every hosting have Global CDN and The result can be difference in difference tools so I need to test every host on every tools for the best estimate result as I can. Dotcom-Monitor allow to test website multiple locations worldwide. I think this is the best tool testing because it has testing server around the world. Dotcom-Monitor Github Page Result Google PageSpeed Insights Google PageSpeed Insights will analyze a web page. It can simulate screen size, 3G/4G mobile connection, and CPU speed the check that your site is working well on mobile devices. it can generate suggestions to make the page faster. but there’s no server location config so we don’t know the location of the testing server. PageSpeed Insights Github Page Result PageSpeed Insights Netlify Result PageSpeed Insights Fast.io Result GTmetrix is a testing tool that has rich features and comparison graphs to show you what site is loading faster. To compare these site I’ll set the server location to Australia because It’s closet to my country. After tests all hosting services with all tools. I think Fast.io is clearly the winner as performance static file hosting. This test might not the optimal test because I haven’t tuned the web enough as you see Fast.io minify and compress feature can still reduce data size. For Netlify, I forgot to set response headers and cache policy and Github Page still can’t config header response. By the way, Fast.io is just a static hosting service you can’t build your static site on it like Github Page or Netlify so You need to build before push to the git. For the rich features, CICD, and build function, I think Netlify is still the best for me.

I was recently involved in a very interesting project at Grazie di Curtatone (MN), Italy. The event is called ‘Infiorata di Maggio’ and is curated by the artist Mariano Bottoli and by Paola Artoni, president of the italian madonnari center (C.I.M.). Mariano asked me to create an original chalk piece on canvas with an angel. Five other female artists have been involved in the project – Michela Bogoni, Mariangela Cappa, Ketty Grossi, Simona Lanfredi Sofia and Valentina Sforzini – and they also created big canvas with angels or with Mary and flowers. Every sunday of May other artists and students will create chalk artwork on pavement on the subject flowers as the sanctuary parvise was a big garden. There is a video (italian language) in wich Mariano explains the project with its meaning and symbols. The canvas are genuinely curtains than can be closed and open if necessary and they have been fixed to frameworks that ideally rapresent a flower with floating petals. The idea of the ephemeral related to chalk art is here fudamental. In attached some pictures of the work in progress and building the installation. Well, something regarding my artwork. I decided to create a woman angel with two big flowers dying down in long hair. She is quite painful and severe and she keeps a big gas mask in her hand. The title is “Eschaton”. I thought about pollution killing nature. Existing resources are exhausted. More than a third of the natural world has been destroyed by humans over the past three decades. The planet will no longer be able to sustain that…

A. |Issue Date:||2016||Journal:||MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY||Number:||459||Issue:||2||First Page:||1946||Abstract:||The far-infrared IRAS 15507-5359 source is known to be a medium-mass star-forming region associated with a compact H II region and a near-infrared embedded cluster. We present a survey of infrared-calibrated images ranging from 1.2 to 500 μm obtained with the Baade telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, and the Herschel space telescope with additional archive Spitzer data. We confirm the distance to the complex to be 5.0 kpc. Three Herschel far-infrared sources are found, I, II, III, identified with dense cores at different evolutionary stages. One (III) is a starless infrared dark cloud showing, near its edge, two infrared reflection nebulae (R1) and (R2) with dispersed young stellar populations, including a knot of shocked H<SUB>2</SUB> line emission. Both show considerable polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission. Core II has associated a radio H II region and a deeply embedded one-million-year-old cluster (Cl 1) that contains more than 45 young stellar objects, reddened by at least 20 visual magnitudes. About 20 per cent of them show considerable infrared excess emission. Core I appears void of a near-infrared population, and coincides with a long emission bar that resembles a photodissociation front. We determine the properties of the two most luminous Class I sources in the region by fitting models of young stars with accreting discs and envelopes to their 1-500 μm spectral energy distributions. This is another example of a medium-mass region with at least three well-defined active centres of star formation separated by about 1 pc and at different evolutionary stages.||URI:||http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/24563||URL:||https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/459/2/1946/2595136||ISSN:||0035-8711||DOI:||10.1093/mnras/stw741||Bibcode ADS:||2016MNRAS.459.1946P||Fulltext:||open| |Appears in Collections:||1.01 Articoli in rivista| Show full item record Files in This Item: |_Persi_et_al._MNRAS.pdf||PDF editoriale||6.41 MB||Adobe PDF||View/Open| checked on Sep 30, 2020 checked on Sep 30, 2020 Items in DSpace are published in Open Access, unless otherwise indicated.

RoboCop’s Shoulder Crowd Control Cannon () allows him to shoot projectile grenades at the opponent. This can be done at the end of combos for a setup. If the opponent is low enough to the ground, the grenade will hit as the opponent is getting up. Depending on the height, Close Shoulder Crowd Control Cannon () will leave RoboCop up to +3 on block. If the mid version is used, it will leave RoboCop up to +6 on block. This is especially useful in the corner because RoboCop will be close enough to guarantee an attack or throw. If the opponent tries to use a Forward Roll Escape, it can be punished with ,,. In RoboCop’s Prime Detective, Getup Attacks can be punished by ending the combo with Riot Shield (), which will trigger a Krushing Blow. Punishing Getup Attacks this way however is only partially viable because the opponent is able to react and only use a Getup Attack if they see the setup being done. The opponent also will be able to escape the setup by using a Short Delayed Getup, or Backward Roll Escape if midscreen. Using a Getup Attack or Roll Escape isn’t entirely beneficial for the opponent though since these require resources for little reward. Once the opponent is conditioned to use a Short Delayed Getup to avoid the grenade setup, RoboCop can then end the combo by not using Shoulder Crowd Control Cannon and attacking the opponent on knockdown. Since the opponent cannot use a Getup Attack or Roll Escape after a Delayed Getup, RoboCop will be free to attack. Additionally, RoboCop can Amplify the Shoulder Crowd Control Cannon. This will place a mine on the field that will detonate after a short period of time. If the opponent blocks, RoboCop will be at a large advantage allowing for pressure.

Labyrinth Polyvore coordinates?! I am really very fond of those boots by Demonia. The VM blouse is my favourite blouse in the whole world, which I own! Then I thought I'd prissy the whole thing up with pretty gloves, sparkly nail polish, and eye shadow. Of course you can't do Jareth's hair without a bunch of hairspray, so that's in there too. You would think that Sarah's co-ordinate would be easier, her being a girl and everything. Not so! I wanted to do the ballgown look, because her normal look is so 80s it hurts my eyes. So I had no choice but to use a short white Lolita skirt. I'm not sure if this is a petticoat or outer skirt, but it's quite pretty. The blouse is VM of course. I think I did much better with Jareth - this looks too much like a wedding ensemble. It's hard to wear white dresses without looking like a bride!

Achieve a radiant healthy glow with Intraceuticals Hyperbaric Oxygen Infusion at Victoria’s Cosmetic Medical Clinic. Hyperbaric Oxygen facials involve the application of oxygen under hyperbaric pressure, which improves the surface level concentration of oxygen in the skin. This pressure also assists in the rapid absorption of the Intraceuticals serums, which leave the skin feeling soft, healthy and hydrated. Hyperbaric Oxygen Facials offer the relaxation and pampering aspects of a facial treatment, along with dramatic and instant hydration results to the skin with no downtime. The Intraceuticals Facial application method uses Oxygen at Hyperbaric pressure to promote the delivery of Intraceuticals professional strength serums to the skin. Intraceuticals developed serums that, when professionally administered in conjunction with oxygen, visibly plump and hydrate the skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This has a base of an ingredient found naturally in the skin and renowned for its superior benefits as an ingredient carrier. Powerful antioxidants including vitamin A, C, E and Green Tea neutralise harmful oxygen molecules known as free radicals and high concentrations of super moisturisers ensure perfect hydration and suppleness. Unlike other oxygen facials, which atomize or spray oxygen on the skin, the Intraceuticals Oxygen System uses pure oxygen under pressure to deliver a special Serum of Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid, essential vitamins, botanicals, antioxidants and peptides to the skin. Oxygen makes up between 18 – 21% of the atmosphere and is required to sustain life. The Intraceuticals System draws the oxygen in and filters it to a concentration of 90-95% pure oxygen. Your skin will instantly look and feel healthier. The skin hydration and radiant effects of a Hyperbaric Oxygen Facial will last about a week. However, due to the delivery of the skin rejuvenation serum, the skin’s overall health will be improved after each treatment, and the results of treatments are cumulative, so the more treatments you get, the better you skin will look. The cost of an oxygen facial along with the administration of the rejuvenation serum is $125.00 per session at Victoria’s Cosmetic Medical Clinic. Please refer to our facials price list for a full list of pricing.

This civic panel is resorting to covert operations. Community Board 2 is rudderless after the weeks-long, open-ended absences of its chairwoman and district manager, and lesser board leaders set a closed-door “emergency meeting” for next week that attendees are completely in the dark about. “It did not specify what the meeting was about, but said we’d be told when we got there,” said a board member who on Friday received notice of the May 30 meeting, and spoke about it on the condition of anonymity. The civic gurus’ original invitation went only to board members and prohibited the public from attending — a condition that would violate New York State laws that require holding an open meeting before calling a private session, according to a bigwig at the state-run Committee on Open Government. But after this newspaper approached the board about its potentially illicit gathering on Monday, its leaders sent out a second invitation hours later, announcing a public meeting will precede their clandestine emergency gathering. Board leaders set the meeting more than one month after CB2’s district manager Robert Perris — who has held the staff position for roughly 15 years and currently rakes in $107,309 annually from his taxpayer-funded salary — did not show up at an April 11 general meeting where he was scheduled to deliver a monthly report, beginning an extended absence that continued until press time. Other board staffers repeatedly claimed Perris is simply “on vacation,” but could not answer multiple inquiries about his return date, and declined to comment further on his whereabouts. And with board chairwoman Shirley McRae — who panel bylaws state must “supervise all members of the staff in the absence of the district manager” — out on sick leave from her volunteer post since before Perris stopped showing up, no one has steered the ship for the past six weeks. The last time the panel overseeing Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Downtown, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill and other areas staged a similar “emergency meeting” was in 2003, when it controversially booted out Perris’s predecessor and former district manager Olanike Alabi — who now holds the unpaid position of district leader — according to a long-time board member. “The only one I specifically remember was back then,” said the civic guru, who described Perris’s lengthy absence as “unusual.” News of the urgent gathering came weeks after the district attorney indicted the district manager of Community Board 6 for allegedly forging signatures on his and other staffers’ raises, a scam that could land the embattled employee behind bars for up to seven years, if convicted. Perris did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Coogler’s Imaginative Black Panther a Heroically Timeless Spectacle Before the Marvel Cinematic Universe, otherwise known as the MCU, became a thing, Marvel Studios got started with tidy, entertainingly self-contained adventures like Iron Man and, to a much lesser extent, The Incredible Hulk. But things began to change somewhat with the release of Iron Man 2 in 2010, the studio starting to rather obviously be planning something bigger, planting little tidbits of extra information that hinted towards the larger comic book universe everything was building towards. While 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor still worked in and of themselves, it was also clear both were engineered to be prequels to 2012’s The Avengers, this massive superhero team-up the end all, be all for the MCU. This has been an issue that’s only grown in magnitude and obviousness as the MCU has expanded. While sequels like Iron Man 3 and Captain America: The Winter Soldier have overcome feeling like prequels to a different story audiences haven’t seen yet, other entries into this super-powered universe, efforts like Thor: The Dark World, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War, struggled to come across as anything other than vehicles conceived and designed to get all of these characters into one place at the right time for this May’s massive Avengers: Infinity War, none of them working outside of the larger story being told and as such aren’t very entertaining or worth watching more than once. Not that Marvel hasn’t made some very entertaining movies. Both Guardians of the Galaxy adventures are a heck of a lot of fun, as are Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, Thor: Ragnarok and Spider-Man: Homecoming. But none of them feel as if they are willing to take much in the way of a risk, and while filmmakers like James Gunn and Taika Waititi seem to have had some liberty to make the interstellar exploits of the crew of The Milano and the Nordic wanderings of the God of Thunder their own, it was equally apparent Marvel wasn’t going to allow them stray too far afield in a way that would make getting to Avengers: Infinity War more difficult than it needed to be. In my opinion this way of doing things has always hampered the films of the MCU to varying degrees, and while some of the entries have flirted with greatness, sadly none of them has ever been able to actually get there. These are nice movies, fun little throwaway larks featuring comic book favorites that are almost all initially enjoyable if also equally frustrating in that almost none are worth returning to for a second look. More, even though each follows a different set of characters with their own unique powers, they all still follow the same template, making being surprised by anything that ends up transpiring at any point during their respective narratives almost impossible. All of which makes Ryan Coogler’s turn behind the camera captaining one of these MCU installments even more impressive. After making a striking debut with 2013’s based-on-fact, tragically devastating drama Fruitvale Station and following that up with the stunning, Oscar-nominated Rocky spin-off Creed in 2015, the young writer/director was seemingly given the keys to the kingdom by Marvel as it pertained to Black Panther, the studio apparently feeling comfortable to let him do whatever he wanted with this story of an African superhero from the secluded fictionalized nation of Wakanda. He makes a movie that’s unlike anything else in the MCU, and while certain beats and story points follow a traditional pattern, the world Coogler has crafted as well as the people he has constructed to live within it are so uniquely three-dimensional I sat in mesmerized awe for every single second of the film’s briskly paced 134-minute running time. After the death of his father, Prince T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) returns home to the African nation of Wakanda to be crowned King. He is joined on the trip by his trusted protector Okoye (Danai Gurira) and his nation’s most highly skilled spy Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o), his grieving mother Ramonda (Angela Bassett) and his inventive technological genius sister Shuri (Letitia Wright) eagerly awaiting his return back at the royal palace. Unbeknownst to the majority of the world save for a trusted few, T’Challa is also the Wakandan protector known as the Black Panther, a vibranium-clad hero entrusted to keep his people safe from the prying eyes outsiders. On a secret mission to capture international arms dealer Ulysses Klaue (Andy Serkis), things go sideways for T’Challa, Okoye and Nakia when CIA analyst Everett K. Ross (Martin Freeman) unexpectedly shows up on the scene at just the wrong time. They get even worse when the mysterious mercenary Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) becomes involved, his knowledge of Wakanda, its culture and its secrets catching everyone by surprise. Turns out, he also has a claim to the country’s throne, and what he wants to do with it if he is able to snatch it out from underneath T’Challa will have a calamitous impact upon the clueless nations of the Earth. The basic thrust of Coogler and Joe Robert Cole’s screenplay revolves around a recognizable hero’s journey Joseph Campbell would have been more than pleased with. T’Challa’s quest will be one of success, failure and redemption that will open his eyes to a wider world, helping him understand where his people and his country need to go next in order to continue to thrive and prosper. It’s pretty standard fair, and none of what happens should shock anyone, and while Black Panther isn’t an origin story, there are certainly elements of one planted throughout the motion picture like little hidden Easter Eggs waiting to be discovered. Thankfully, Coogler and Cole have gone out of their way to make something extraordinary out of these and a handful of additional familiar tropes inherent to the genre. They have made it a point to make these characters fiercely intelligent and more than capable of standing up for themselves no matter their age, gender or life experience. They make decisions that are both good and bad, learning in the process how to stay true to their core beliefs or, if they are unable to do so, pay a steep price for this moral failure. It is a movie that celebrates African culture in manner comic book epics of this size and budget never have before, Coogler presenting a fully realized vision that’s is colorful, dynamic and impressively genuine. Boseman is outstanding. Jordan crafts arguably the MCU’s most intriguing, angrily heartfelt and tragically multifaceted villain, doing so with a fiery emotional verisimilitude that’s astonishing. Serkis steals scenes left and right, his maniacal exuberance as Klaue downright infectious. As for Freeman, he’s obviously having a befuddled blast as his CIA operative discovers there’s much more to Wakanda than initially meets the eye, his ultimate emergence as a hero as well justifiably worthy of a tiny little cheer of its own. Veteran Forest Whitaker (whose character I won’t go into any detail about whatsoever) and perennial bad-ass Bassett make the most of any moment they happen to be a part of, while rising stars Daniel Kaluuya (an Oscar nominee for 2017’s Get Out) and Winston Duke each get a handful of opportunities to make a lasting impression they’re more than up to the challenge of making the most of. But it is the young women fighting alongside T’Challa who prove to be the most memorable members of this stellar ensemble. Each manages to create unique, captivating characters I found I kept wanting to spend more and more time with, all doing so in their own idiosyncratic way. But while Nyong’o and Wright get the most playfully lively opportunities to charm, it is the fiercely dedicated passion Gurira brings to her portrayal of the warrior Okoye that impressed me the most. She is dazzling, commanding the screen with her intricately nuanced turn and in the process added layers of depth and meaning to the character as well as the to the film as a whole that took my breath away. I was stunned by what she was doing, Gurira deserving of becoming a major international star and here’s my hope that after people see here in this that’s exactly what happens. Featuring incredible camerawork from Academy Award nominee Rachel Morrison (Mudbound) and gorgeous costumes designed by the great Ruth E. Carter (Selma), the visual aesthetics of all that Coogler has envisioned is of an imaginatively creative scale unlike anything I had anticipated. More than that, though, he and Cole have also manufactured the MCU’s most explicitly political film, the pair’s story talking about issues of race, protectionism, humanitarianism, police brutality, political fascism and immigration policy that comes alive as if it was pulled from today’s most recent headlines. But they do so in a way that never preaches, that isn’t forced but is instead an integral part of T’Challa’s journey to becoming the type of hero his people can be proud of. In the process, Black Panther becomes a movie that grows beyond its comic book roots, Marvel allowing Coogler the freedom to craft a vital, representative, culturally authentic and universally reflective adventure almost certain to be enjoyed, debated and discussed for many years to come. – Review reprinted courtesy of the SGN in Seattle Film Rating: 3½ (out of 4)

It can be disheartening if you are not fortunate enough to find work experience in your desired field while you are studying. The jobs we work to pay the bills and get by can sometimes feel like a waste of time. However these ‘meantime’ jobs can be very valuable experiences. Here are five reasons why. 1. Your salary can be put to good use Retail or office work often pays more than internships or new graduate programs in some industries. Of course this means being able to pay your expenses. However, it could also be an opportunity to save money. When a brilliant unpaid opportunity comes along, you will then be in a better position to accept it. You may even have a bit of cash spare to expand your horizons through international travel. 2. You will get used to the workplace The workplace environment is very different from education institutions, which are based around the needs of students. Developing confidence in situations where your actions have real financial consequences is an asset you can take with you to any new business. Simply getting used to arriving at work on time for every shift and managing your schedule while working and studying are also valuable experiences. 3. You may gain unexpected transferrable skills Even if you don’t plan to work in fields dedicated to customer service, such as sales, this doesn’t mean you won’t have use for such skills. Nearly every role involves working with clients to a certain extent, or some teamwork. Being able to provide solid examples of where you have gone above and beyond for a customer, or used your initiative to solve problems, will be instrumental in job interviews for any number of different roles. Some transferrable skills you might not foresee. For instance a journalist conducting phone interviews may have developed their confidence and the ability to stay in control on the phone during time spent as a receptionist. 4. Casual jobs are often flexible Jobs taken on by university students in retail and hospitality are often more flexible and understanding about study commitments than office jobs. It is easier to choose your hours, with shift work allowing you to tailor your job to fit your life. You can see examples of this on Student Job itself. This luxury may not be an option later in your career. 5. A job will diversify your schedule Having scheduled commitments aside from studying enables you to take a purposeful break from guiltily staring at your computer screen, waiting for the words to tumble out. Getting your mind completely off the subject can give you a fresh approach when you return to the task. As long as you leave yourself enough time for your assignments that is! 6. You will meet interesting people Aside from practical career benefits, a day job can introduce you to interesting people you would never have the chance to meet otherwise. The range of people you will work with may be much wider than those you meet at university, or even those you would encounter in a more professionalised industry. 7. When you do break into your industry you will appreciate it more There is no point in assuring you that you will absolutely love your ‘meantime’ job. For some it will feel like a chore and you will be glad when the day comes for you to leave. However, the experience may clarify for you what you enjoy and what you don’t, which will help you to make clearer choices about your future. When you do find that longed for graduate opportunity, you will appreciate it all the more and know how lucky you are to be doing something you love. Although signing up for a ‘meantime’ job can feel like a waste of time, you will end up being glad you took it on. Accepting work outside of your desired industry or role is not accepting failure, rather it is simply acknowledging that there are many different paths to success.

This was one of the biggest disappointments I’ve had to face in film history. It wasn’t even that the movie was that bad, it was decently good, it’s just that the book was ten times better. Choke is actually by far my favorite piece of literature, while Chuck Palahniuk is by far my favorite author. The movie wasn’t nearly as good as the book and I wasn’t really expecting it to be, but it really just didn’t even come close. I had to drive a half an hour to get to a theater that was playing this movie because I was so excited, it wasn’t worth it. The movie did have two funny parts that the book didn’t have, but those parts didn’t make up for the rest. The two best gimmicks of the book weren’t in the movie and I’m talking of course about the, see also’s and the (random word) isn’t the right word, but it’s the first word that comes to mind. My favorite chapter about the origins of his sexual addiction was completely botched. The thing that bothered me most was that the ending was completely different from the books and I loved the books ending. The movies ending just comes out and tells you what the point of the movie was, while the book allows you to think and figure it out yourself through imagery and symbolism. One ray of sunshine on this cloudy day of a movie was the main character. I was skeptic as to who could pull this, anti-christ, as some might call him, off and Sam Rockwell did it perfectly. He was a lot fun to watch and I might wan to watch the movie again just to watch his performance, he was born for the role. Overall the movie just felt very independent and amatuer especially during the flashback scenes with his mom. It was fun, funny and entertaining, but the book was just so much better. Trust me, If you’re interested at all in this movie, go out and buy a copy of the book. It’s a fast and incredible read. You’ll want o immediatly read it again afterwards.

No excuses. Life is busy, and if some of my absence from social media is because I’m living in the moment, well, won’t you join me? In spite of the news (which I only see when I dare to look, which is less often these days), there’s joy to be found. First up: orchids. About a week ago my husband and I went to Gainesville, Florida, to visit a couple of friends. One of the many fun things we did was go to the Florida Museum of Natural History (https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/). The best part of the museum is the Butterfly Rainforest, a live exhibit of free-flying butterflies and birds, non-flying turtles and fish. And orchids … oh, the orchids. The butterflies were very active. One became rather attached to the back of my hand. I was able to transfer him to my husband’s hand. Later we learned that he was likely “drinking” up the minerals in our sweat. The museum has its own live web cam giving you a bird’s eye view of the rainforest canopy: https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/exhibits/butterfly-rainforest/canopy-cam/. Or you can view my modest attempt at filming the very active butterflies here on YouTube: Butterfly Rainforest Well, I hope you all enjoy the photos … what, wait! Oh, I almost forgot … heh, heh. Z Publishing House has accepted TWO of my short stories for their 2019 Emerging Writers Series. Each story will be published in a different anthology in the series. You might recall that I had a short short story published in their 2018 Florida’s Emerging Writers Series (that post is here). I know, when do I stop emerging? A friend suggested I should adopt a pen name like Chris Alys (as in Chrysalis). All I can say is, I’m happy to keep emerging as long as Z Publishing House is happy to publish my stories. I guess I should tell you a bit about the stories. “Love Me Tender” is literary fiction, a story of one morning in the life of Irene Newkirk, a middle-aged woman coming to grips with her husband’s mental illness and the weight of caring for her teen-aged daughter as well as keeping up appearances. Stay tuned for the link to the anthology in which this story will be included. “Together Forever,” is a horror story, one involving a different middle-aged woman. Vicky Brooks is a real estate agent in an economically depressed part of New York. She yearns to escape the cold dreariness of her hometown and her husband. She hopes to get that chance with Miss Smith, a potential buyer for a broken-down mansion, except there is something rather odd about Miss Smith. If you use this link — America’s Emerging Suspense Writers — to purchase this anthology, I’ll get a small commission. If you prefer to use Amazon, you can pick up a copy here: Amazon link I should also mention that the first draft of “Love Me Tender” was written in 1992 for a fiction workshop. The first draft of “Together Forever” was written in 2006 for an online writing course. Never let go of your stories, and never ever give up. Many heartfelt thanks to all of you have supported me over the years. And a big THANK YOU to Kevin Brennan, author and editor at Indie-Scribable Editorial Services for editing my stories and giving me the bump I needed to get published. MWAH! Marie A Bailey Writer, blogger, knitter, cat lover, and introvert.

Badu Ortiz Wall Decor, 2020-05-18 08:02:05. You can produce a wall stick out through lighting. Painting the walls in bright shades is vital to stop them from looking dull. You are able to paint the walls with light colors to get a better look. For instance, when you paint a wall you may use more than 1 color, you can make interesting geometric designs using tape and you could also impress by selecting an eye-catching hue. A wall sized mirror installed in the front of the vanity is just one of the major bathroom remodeling trends. Yaquta Santos Wall Decor, 2020-06-07 08:04:59. Not a great combo for kitchen, even though it‚s doable. Kids bedrooms ought to be full of the youngster‚s personality and a place they can instinctively call their own. In addition, the bed itself can have no space for entrapment. Nursery beds differ from normal beds in two or three ways. Baelli Aguirre Wall Shelf, 2020-06-07 08:05:00. A cabinet process is a great alternate to shelving. A slat wall system is composed of a wall panel containing evenly distributed grooves. It is always recommended to buy your storage equipment from a dealer that specializes in the type of storage needed for your industry. Nabawia Bianchi Wall Decor, 2020-06-07 08:05:00. Even in case you clean the walls yourself, it is sometimes a complicated task that might cause you a good deal of hassle. A wall hung toilet is a great choice for saving space. Naturally, you‚ll need to be far more careful in selecting what you would like, since they cover almost the full wall. When considering what type of wall mural you should have on your walls, the very first thing you should concentrate on is not the design but the measurements of the room. Naasiha Navarro Wall Panel, 2020-06-07 08:04:59. If you’re looking for an oven, you might think about the incredible features and advantages of Flavor Wave convection oven. It would be far more advisable to obtain an oven that may do almost anything like bake, broil, roast, grill and toast. Electric ovens consume a great deal of energy since they generate heat and light. When an oven has multiple functions, it’s already an excellent buy, especially if the price is reasonable. Yaquta Santos Wall Plate, 2020-06-07 08:04:59. My purchase was received very fast and accurately. It was shipped very quickly and I was very pleased with everything i ordered. It was very quick and simple to put an order. It was very simple to place the purchase and simple to comprehend the guidelines. Naadiya Rossi Wall Panel, 2020-06-07 08:05:01. Panels can be supplied a crystal clear finish, or they may be painted, stained, or coated with any range of decorative finishes. Free-standing, folding panels should not be utilized as shields. Reclaimed wood wall panels are able to make an extremely bold and intriguing statement at the same time. Nabeela Santos Wall Shelf, 2020-06-07 08:04:59. Items in a room should coordinate and make a balanced, complementary look when serving as functional elements of your home but items that look like they came from the box will force you to truly feel just like you live in one. Possessing both together can create a room which can be a little too loud.

Alliford Bay B.C. April 14, 1944 Dear Mom and Dad --- I was very glad to receive your letter and am sorry if I am disappointing you with my lack of mail. Our so-called spare time up here is not so plentiful as one would suppose and what there is really goes fast. You have no idea what this climate does to a guy. If I get the least bit occupied with my work or making something for myself, or hiking, etc., I can get a letter and read it and shove it into my writing kit thinking of answering it that same night and before I realize it a week has gone by. When I do answer it, the very next day I have forgotten what I wrote and for all I know I have written the same stuff twice. I was up for another flip last week and it was swell. I am back in the hangar now and it took a corporal & two L.A.C.'s to replace me in the plug shop now. There is hardly room for them to move around. I have my B group now and my L.A.C. will become effective shortly. You say you hope I will get leave soon, well so do I. If it wasn't for a certain flight sergeant, I would be going out tomorrow but he is afraid of having too many men out at one time so my departure depends on the return of one of the boys on leave right now. He is due on the 24th of April so to be safe I made a reservation on a plane for the 28th in case he is late. I had to cancel a reservation I had already made two months ago, for tomorrow. I am looking forward to seeing all the folks down south. I got a letter from Cliff the other day. I just finished answering it. That's too bad about Irene and Freddie, but I guess the war breaks up a lot of marriages. I may be wrong but I think Roy Miles & Percy are making a mistake in marrying while still in the service. I almost forgot about Easter and your birthday. Last Saturday night somebody mentioned Good-Friday because we didn't get the day off and I remembered all of a sudden. I hope my wire got there in time. I got a letter from Jim, too, yesterday. It was a month coming. He had been complaining about not receiving any mail from me but he got two of my letters in March. Many happy returns of the day on your birthday, Dad, sorry if this is late. By the way Mom, did Mary Anderson sing at the Betty Wills' wedding. In one of the here letters she mentioned that Betty wanted her too but I don't know whether she did or not. So Dad is looking for good weather in his garden. He should be out here. The days are already long and occasionally sunny. There are daffodils, ferns, dandelions and shrubs, etc. all over the place already too. They have not started the potatoes yet. I would love to send you some pictures but I don't see how I can. I will try to smuggle in a camera and some films when I come back from leave. You would really enjoy seeing some pictures of the fellows and our "little island home" as Mary once called it. I have yet to answer letters from Galt, Jim, Aunt Doris, Alex, Percy, and the boys in Pr. Rupert. Oh yes, also one from Chris. Oh yes, also one from Chris Inman, of the church, notifying me of the sending of another box. It is good of them, isn't it. I really must close and write at least one more before I turn in. A fellow would be better off if he did more writing up here and less thinking and day dreaming about the war, civilization, etc. I really get down in the dumps sometimes, wondering what to do after the war. A fellow cannot plan anything because he might end up anywhere and in any kind of living conditions. I guess this is getting boring, so long for now,

By Mariam Aziz, MD When I installed satellite TV with Pakistani channels for my Pakistani nanny, I never knew how much it would open my eyes to the realities of the worst natural disaster in recent times. I thought it was fun to watch cooking shows, soap operas, news/politics and have a glimpse of the fast paced “pop culture” there; I had a new window into the lives of some Pakistanis. In August, the news broke about the massive flooding affecting 20 million people, and I watched image after image of women, children and older men wading through water to their necks, on lands where they previously sat and lived a simple life farming, raising their children and drinking tea. I watched in horror as the flood waters washed away homes, livestock, crops and even families. My ears ached with the wails of mothers who had watched their children disappear, or were watching them now starve to death because of the lack of food. Had my life been just a little different, and my parents hadn’t immigrated to America, that could have been my little boy, Humza, hungry in those pictures; it could have been my mother, my grandmother with tears in her eyes. My heart twinges as I hug my child even closer these days. But then I saw the spirit of human generosity and of hope. The helicopter pilots flying rescue missions and health care workers who spend their days treating the young, the frail, the elderly. People who have no possessions sharing whatever food is available to people who are suffering with them. When the satellite was off, my eyes came upon the news here. The funds toward Pakistan have been tragically slow and desperately insufficient. The UN continues to beg for international aid, claiming that donor fatigue or fears of corruption have caused the world to hesitate, bringing fresh tears to my eyes. For the worst natural disaster in recent history, there was no big concert, no world-famous singers collecting money for Pakistan. But the need is clearly too great, and no country, even one with a competent government, would withstand its pressure. My spirits lifted when along came the e-mails, the messages, and the phone calls from colleagues who were just as heartbroken, and just as motivated to get involved. Throughout my training here at Rush as a medical student, a resident, a fellow and now as an attending, I have been surrounded by people who have dedicated their lives to the service of others, with compassion for the needy, and motivation to improve the world around us. People from UIC, Rush, the University of Chicago, John H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County had also heard the voices of people in need, holding the Pakistan Flood Relief Fundraising Dinner last week. I am hopeful and thank everyone from the Medical District and the community who have donated to this worthy cause. To the people of Pakistan, you are not forgotten. We are here to help, even if it’s a little bit at a time. Please consider helping the flood victims by making a donation to relief organizations such as Oxfam International, Doctors Without Borders or the American Red Cross. You also can make a $10 donation to the U.S. State Department’s Pakistan Flood Relief Fund by texting “FLOOD” to 27722 from your mobile phone.

Towel snaps and purple nurples On the Platform With My Ex Ted: I hate rain. Ted: Nothin worse. ‘Cept maybe the wrong end of a wedgie. He cringes & turns. Bea spots her golden opportunity. So when I started this blog (yesterday) I thought maybe I would post my play per day for 100 Days and that would pretty much be it, there would really be nothing more to blog about. Oh how wrong I was. When coming up with ideas for today’s twitterplay, I started with the weather (which is— in London— rank). At first I had a little scene where it turns out Ted has a fear of moisture (genius idea, I know- must be a gift from God or something), and I thought it would be funny for Bea to give him a wet willy. But then I stopped. Do they have wet willies in the UK, or is that strictly a gift reserved for those in Texas? I immediately texted five of my closest friends regarding the matter, but in the meantime— doing my own research— I stumbled across the most amazing (and informative) Wikipedia article, where one finds the definition of a wet willy: Usually performed on a sleeping or otherwise unsuspecting person, the perpetrator of a wet willy wets his or her finger with saliva and inserts it into the ear of the victim. Other notables in this List of School Pranks include the flat tire, the noogie and the nipple cripple (aka ruby booby, titty twister or purple nurple). And you don’t even want to know what a slimy buffalo is. In the end, I learned that the term ‘wet willy’ just isn’t as widely recognised in the UK as I had hoped. So I decided to go with the classic wedgie. Every day’s a school day.

“The Solitary Reaper”, is a poem divided in four different stanzas, and each stanza has eight lines. Throughout the course of the poem Wordsworth’s voice evolves from being an outsider voice into an insider voice; simultaneous, to the evolution of the voice, Wordsworth uses different ways and means to present the spokesman by itself as an emerging voice, which responds to each changing situation. And the poem will flow from an outside perspective into the inside perspective. From the beginning of the poem, Wordsworth establishes a relationship with us, his audience and readers, which is as important as the relationship he has with the lady. In other words Wordsworth is to the Scottish lass, as we are to him. In the first two stanzas Wordsworth is going to emerge as an outsider voice. In the first stanza, the author let us know about the Scottish lass, who is working on the field at the same time that she is singing with sadness. But the notes produced by her chant are flowing all over the profound valley. The way it is written gives the feeling that the lass’ voice is going to be heard any minute and enjoy it in the same manner as Wordsworth is starting to re-create the beauty and the strength of her voice. Also, in this first stanza we — his audience — receive three open commands from Wordsworth, which integrates us into the poem, and maintain our attention into it. The author’s command are open because as readers we can not respond directly to him, we just continue reading the poem, which might be Wordworth’s objective. In the second stanza, as an outsider voice, Wordsworth fully re-creates the beauties of the chant. And Wordsworth reaches his goal using the comparison as the means of transportation, comparing the maiden’s song with a Nightingale and the newness of the notes and their unique quality. Wordsworth takes us to the extent of our imaginations by saying that it was as exotic, and as far as the sands of the Arabian desert, reminding us — the poet — of the woman’s incredible voice, as graceful as a Cuckoo-bird. Up to this point we — the readers — are listening in our imaginations what the poet transmitted us while he was re-creating the maiden’s chant. In the last two lines of the second stanza, Wordsworth not just only is recognizing the fact that the maiden is a Scottish lass mentioning the Hebrides. But, the poet is also relating the last two lines of the first stanza with the last two of the first one, because the sound of voice is all over the valley that brakes the serenity of the seas between the farthest Scottish island. In the third stanza, and in the fourth line, is when Wordsworth make the transition emerging as an inner voice, because the poet mentions a personal and emotional conflict that Wordsworth faced, and he questions himself if the battle was humbly fought or not. And the in the last two lines of this stanza, the poet starts to questioning and speculating about the maiden’s pain, which could Wordsworth pain reflected in the lass’ song. In the fourth stanza Wordsworth states that whatever might be thrilling to him might not be for the maiden. Also the author stops questioning the reader, and describes his thoughts while he is watching the lady. And we -the readers — will realize that Wordsworth has become the lass, as the writer who is writing the poem. Therefore, Wordsworth is using the maiden as a gate that opens and let his deepest emotions realize into the world as (her) music, because music can express all those feelings that words can not. And again, if relate the last two lines of the previous stanza with the last two of this one, Wordsworth states that he is the singer, or the maiden that sings forever more, because he is one the who feels the sorrow, loss, or pain.

The world is a mess. Our country is a mess. And it’s hard to know where to begin to fix it. Those of us who believe in Christ know two things. One, it will be fixed one day. Two, our Lord calls us to make disciples until that day (and that will be part of the fix). But here is a voice from the past that might help us to think about the process a bit more clearly. The following is from the Kairos Journal. Manners More Important than Laws —Edmund Burke (1729 – 1797) Born and educated in Dublin, Edmund Burke would play a major role in British politics from 1765, when he became private secretary to a member of Parliament (MP), until just before his death, some 30 years later. He served as an MP during the tumultuous years of the American and French Revolutions. His watchword throughout was “a liberty connected with order.” Though he was a lawmaker, he believed that law was hopeless if the citizens were not considerate of one another. In this connection, Burke found the French Revolution particularly disordered, its leaders advocating “a system of manners, the most licentious, prostitute, and abandoned that ever has been known, and at the same time the most coarse, rude, savage, and ferocious.”1 Not long before he died, he wrote letters to an MP, urging that Britain not recognize the new French government. The following passage from one letter explains his stand for civility and decency. “Manners are of more importance than laws. Upon them, in a great measure, the laws depend. The law touches us but here and there, and now and then. Manners are what vex or sooth, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe in. They give their whole form and colour to our lives. According to their quality, they aid morals, they supply them, or they totally destroy them.“2 1 Edmund Burke, Select Works of Edmund Burke, and Miscellaneous Writings, ed. E. J. Payne (Indianapolis, IN: Liberty Fund, 1999), 3.1.05, http://www.econlib.org/library/LFBooks/Burke/ ed. E. J. Payne brkSWv3c1.html, (accessed November 7, 2005).

ALP stalwart attacks union Former federal Labor resources minister Martin Ferguson is set to blast the powerful Maritime Union of Australia for putting political power plays ahead of its members and jeopardising the nation's economic growth. He will also urge the Government to toughen industrial relations laws to prevent unions threatening major projects. In a speech to an energy and resources conference in Sydney today, Mr Ferguson will lash the MUA campaign to kill off the Abbott Government's visa regime for offshore workers. The Government suffered an embarrassing blow last week when Labor, the Greens and the Palmer United Party voted down a move for maritime crew visa holders to be used for some specialist offshore work. "Unfortunately, a few unions are using strong bargaining positions in ways that harm the wider community as well as their own members' long-term economic prospects," Mr Ferguson will say. "It made for great political theatre but the myopic position put by the MUA created great uncertainty and risked vital, specialised, construction work." This year, the MUA tried to have Mr Ferguson ejected from the Labor Party, arguing he breached ministerial ethics by joining the board of an oil and gas lobby group so soon after standing down as resources minister. Mr Ferguson says owners of oil and gas ships should have the right to use foreign crews. The Senate killing off the use of MCVs for some work had created headaches for companies using foreign specialists in some areas. Mr Ferguson, chairman of Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association, says the body wants bigger fines for unions that pursue unlawful industrial action. It also wants to raise the threshold for protected strikes at major projects, new anti-picketing laws and tougher right-of-entry provisions. Mr Ferguson says he is frustrated that the NSW Labor Party campaigned against the development of coal seam gas projects. "It appears that NSW Labor has forgotten who it is supposed to represent," he will say. "A Labor Party hell-bent on chasing Green votes in Nimbin and Lismore will do nothing to further the interests of the working families of Western Sydney, Newcastle or the Central Coast."
