Most Helpful Customer Reviews
This was my first read through the city of God and I really enjoyed the book. Augustine provides a compelling rebuttal against those in Rome who claimed that the fall of Rome was due to the Christian religion. He also establishes the reliability of Christianity against the prevalent Stoic and Platonic ideas of the time. Beyond its impact for its own day, the work is strikingly relevant for the American church which seems to be wrestling with many of the same issues as Rome was in the 5th Century. This copy of the book however was not as good as the book itself. It wasn't horrible, but there were many typos throughout the book. It appears that the book may have been scanned and the scanner occasionally had difficulty making out the words. Greek words sometimes appear in a Greek font, however this is rare. They more often are just illegible. One additional problem that I have begun to have, is that the book is no longer opening on my nook. It is opening up in nookstudy so I can still use it for class, but that is still a disappointment. I do not know if this is a problem with my nook or the file itself. All of my other books are still opening up in my nook. I have now bought the Barnes and Noble Essential Reading version and find it much nicer.

Zoe Lofgren, Chair of the House Ethics Committee, has published a thought-provoking article about the legal tactic of seizing of domain names when the owners are accused of copyright infringement. She wants to do something to prevent abuse of the system. Lofgren states her goal is to “develop targeted legislation that requires the government to provide notice and an opportunity for website operators to defend themselves prior to seizing or redirecting their domain names.”
Strip away the jargon there and you see something surprisingly up-to-date for a government figure: Awareness of where the cutting edge of tech and law are at odds with each other when it comes to copyright and online content. More surprising still is that she’s intending to crowdsource some new legislation and for the source of new ideas has turned to Reddit, hotbed of social media chatter, because during the efforts to enact the pro-copyright SOPA law she saw “firsthand the Reddit community’s strong dedication to free expression.”
This dedication has prompted Lofgren to try an experiment: Asking Reddit users for ideas for a new legislative proposal that will build “due process requirements into domain name seizures for copyright infringement.” Lofgren’s post ends with a call to arms that’s as stirring as it is concise: “So, Internet policy experts and free speech warriors: How, specifically, would you suggest accomplishing these goals? I look forward to reading your thoughts and input!”
Reddit itself is all over the news right now, thanks to events like an Al Jazeera journalist in Gaza taking questions, and the moment when President Obama turned to Reddit to drum up some last-minute support in his recent election campaign.
Lofgren’s legislation would be directed at efforts like that of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to shut down sites that peddle what ICE alleges is copyright-violating material. The seizure of domains has in some cases been heavy-handed and controversial. This is a complex matter, particularly in an era where Net commerce is becoming critical for the economy (a fact that’ll be reinforced next Monday when we find our how much U.S. citizens spent online during the Black Friday sales).

If you have a hobby of going through magazines which show the interior aspect of homes you would help but wonder the color combinations which are used by them. When it comes to the colors, you’ll be able to notice that most of the colors which are used on websites show a lighter color trend. If you also closely observe the color combination you’ll be able to notice that they have their own elegant look which portrays something great.
Similarly, when it comes to looks transformation there are a lot of things which can be looked at. To start off you could focus on the look of your wall. When it comes to the wall color, you might want to make sure that it’s a lighter color. It is said that having lighter colors make the place look bigger. Therefore, you could make it a point to choose lighter colors when you are painting your wall. Once the wall is looked at, you could shift your attention to the flooring. Based on the flooring, you could start doing the polishing too. But, it’s always good to make sure that you have a brief idea on the type of flooring. If it’s hardwood timber Gold Coast, you could look into polishing which fits that bill. Furthermore, polishing it regularly will make the house look much cleaner.It is also said that timber gives away a better look than marble. Therefore, if budget persists you could make it a point to choose it over marble. Room transformation could be looked at once the floor is looked upon. If your house has a lot of tiny rooms, you could talk to an architect and get it demolished. Once that’s done you could do reconstruction and build a fewer rooms which are larger in size. When furniture’s are being set, you might want to make sure that crowding is avoided. Even if you have a large space having a lot of furniture might make it look crowded. Therefore, you could always make it a point to leave it freely since that will make the place look large and free. It is also said that smaller changes carry a large weight. For instance, you could try changing the light switches. If you have rounded switches, you could replace them with square shaped ones. You could also make it a point to change all the lights in your home. All in all, when the transformation process is to take place you might want to make sure that the changes are examined thoroughly and rightly.

Getting a shellac nail polish is one of the thing im planning to do this week. I am planning on treating myself and get a manicure for my fingers. Its been a while since I got my nails some polish, so this week it will be it.
There are several colors and shades that i wanted to try. I am not decided yet but i am still in the process of choosing which color will suites me well. The colors that i am talking about are the pop pink, cocoa, marshmallow rose and cream colors.
I am thinking of getting my toes some polishing too but ill just work with them for next week. I cant wait till i get myself some shellac nail polish, so check for my updates and see the result in next post.
Two weeks ago, my sister bought this new shampoo for us. I didnt know what kind of shampoo was that but she just said that it was a natural shampoo. The next day, i tried the new shampoo, at first i just read the label on it and it reads natural shampoo. I never heard that one before but nevertheless it was still a shampoo. So, there i was, i used that shampoo and then after washing it was good. I kinda like the result of the sulfate free shampoo. My hair felt really good. So i said to myself, i will just try this one and see what will be the result weeks after.
Yesterday, while I was looking for a lamp in a mall, I noticed this beautiful lighting fixture with shells as decoration. I asked the sales lady about the item, she said that it was a Capiz Shell Chandelier. Well, i got to tell you, it was just so beautiful and the light are so nice. If you are wondering what is this Capiz Shell Chandelier, then just check the picture below. Thought the price of the item is very expensive, I think it will surely make a room more elegant with it. So of you have the money to buy one, then go for it. I think the price is justified with the beauty and elegance of the Capiz Shell Chandelier.
One of the most interesting video ive seen in youtube yesterday, the Heavy Duty Cnc Lathe machine at work. I cant really imagine how man do these machines. See for your self. In a matter of minutes, it can mass produce any metal products which will take a man years if done manually. Enjoy.

Our very own Janeite Mae filled my inbox today with the welcome news that Masterpiece Theatre has announced the BBC Emma dates for 2010! Here is the press release from PBS: [and thank you Mae, for the heads-up!]
BBC Worldwide Sales and Distribution and WGBH today announced co-productions of two star-studded dramas: the beloved classic, Emma, and the sequel to BAFTA-winning and Emmy-nominated drama Cranford, Cranford 2. Both programs will make their U.S. premiere in early 2010 on WGBH’s MASTERPIECE CLASSIC on PBS.
Commented Susanna Pollack, SVP, Sales & Distribution and Children’s, BBC Worldwide, Americas, “Following Cranford’s success in the U.S. and UK, we are excited to be working with WGBH again to bring its sequel, Cranford 2, as well as the Jane Austen’s classical tale, Emma, to audiences next year.”
“Our viewers have been clamoring for more Jane Austen and more Judi Dench,” said MASTERPIECE executive producer Rebecca Eaton “These new productions add up to a very strong MASTERPIECE CLASSIC season in 2010.”
Emma (4 x 60)
Romola Garai (Atonement, Daniel Deronda), Sir Michael Gambon (Cranford, Gosford Park), and Jonny Lee Miller (Byron, Eli Stone, Trainspotting) star in this BBC and WGBH co-production which follows the dire consequences of Emma’s failed matchmaking schemes. Michael Gambon plays Emma’s affectionate, neurotic father who allows her to be mistress of their household. Jonny Lee Miller—(who stars in MASTERPIECE’s Endgame, premiering in October) plays Mr. Knightley, Emma’s shrewd and attractive neighbor, who provides a welcome counterpart to headstrong Emma. Fresh and funny, this perceptive adaptation by Sandy Welch (Our Mutual Friend, Jane Eyre, North and South) brings Jane Austen’s comic masterpiece to life.
Cranford 2 (2 x 60)
The BAFTA-winning and Emmy-nominated drama, Cranford, starring Dame Judi Dench (Notes on a Scandal, Shakespeare in Love), Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake, Fingersmith), Francesca Annis (Jane Eyre, Reckless), and Eileen Atkins (Scenes of a Sexual Nature, Gosford Park), returns as a two-part sequel, Cranford 2. The original drama chronicled a small Cheshire market town in the early 1840s on the cusp of great change. The BBC and WGBH co-production in association with Chestermead Ltd, picks up the story in 1844. New faces coming to the close-knit town include Jonathan Pryce (Pirates of the Caribbean), Tom Hiddleston (Wallander), and Tim Curry (Spamalot). Based on the novels by Elizabeth Gaskell, Cranford 2 is written by Heidi Thomas (I Capture the Castle, Madame Bovary).
Other shows announced for the early 2010 lineup are:
- A Small Island [based on the Orange Prize winning novel by Andrea Levy]
- Framed, adapted from Frank Cottrell Boyce’s (The Last Enemy) children’s novel
- Sharpe’s Peril & Sharpe’s Challenge, with Sean Bean playing Bernard Cornwall’s character
- The 39 Steps, starring Rupert Penry Jones (Persuasion, Burn Up, MI-5 [Spooks]) as Richard Hannay, in this classic John Buchan mystery.
[see the PBS site for more information on all these new shows – it makes one ALMOST long for winter…]
*And because we cannot get enough of all things Austen, see this BBC article on filming Emma in Chilham
*And a lovely 5-minute YouTube montage of production shots here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF_cOGGM7QI
*And full cast information at the Imdb site
Romola Garai as Emma and Johdi May as Miss Taylor [Ms. May was in the The Mayor of Casterbridge (2003) with Ciaran Hinds
Jonny Lee Miller as Knightley [Miller also played Edmund Bertram in the Rozema Mansfield Park – this seems to always be left off his credits – we continue to live in hope that he will be as good a Knightley as Richard Armitage would have been!]
[above photographs from Pemberley.com]
and “dear” Mr. Elton will be played by Blake Ritson [who was Edmund Bertram in the 2007 Mansfield Park – are we sufficiently confused?!
And finally then there is Rupert Evans as Frank Churchill [Evans played Margaret Hale’s brother Frederick in North & South [with the aforementioned Richard Armitage…(sigh!)]
PS: this added July 9, 2009 – the BBC has the trailer for this new Emma now available online. Go to the BBC site here, scroll through the carousel and click on “Emma” to view the trailer – quite lovely! [and thanks Mae for the heads-up!]

Many times people complain about leaky trucks in one way or another, be it liquid found on the passenger side floor, or water found in the rear. The main thing is it is annoying and we want to fix it. And the hard part is trying to find where it is coming from.
The first step is determining approximately where the leak is, passenger side floor, driver’s side floor, rear hatch area, rear seat area etc. Then if you determine that it is the passenger side floor, and it seems to be wet all the time, not just when it rains, then you probably don’t have a leak in the body, most likely your heater core has started leaking coolant. To check this, remove the heater core cover (plastic panel below dash on passenger side), the heater core is there and very easy to replace. Check your repair manual for further details.
Here are the common areas:
1. Cowl Area or Windshield corner
2. A-pillar/roof joint/drip-rail
3. Side-glass seals
4. Rear drip rail
5. Area behind top of rear hatch
1: Cowl vent. This is mainly a problem on the first-generation (84-88) Bronco II. Leaves and other debris will clog the drain vents and will cause moisture to sit and create rust holes. Symptoms: Wet front carpet, water in glove box. If caught in time, it is possible to remove the access covers under the hood and spread seam-sealer in the holes, but if its a fairly large hole, the fenders have to come off, the cowl panel has to be removed (lots of spot-weld drilling) and the rusted metal has to be replaced. I should mention this isn’t as much of a problem on later (89-90) Bronco II’s because the cowl was changed from slots to a “mesh” pattern to prevent most debris from entering.
Note that on the inner side of the fire wall, in the passenger compartment where the bottom corners of the windshield is, is a very common area for water to leak in. This area tends to rust and allow lots of water in when it is wet. It usually happens first on the passenger side, then later on the drivers side rusts. In order to access this area the dash must partially be removed. The old sealant will have to be removed, and all rust ground away, then new sealant installed. See photos below:
2: A-pillar/roof joint/drip-rail. This is a VERY common leak on Bronco II’s no matter the year. The seam sealer gets brittle with age and either cracks or crumbles away leaving an open seam. It can also be hidden behind the windshield trim. Symptoms are wet floorboard and a drip from the headliner just past the windshield. A temp fix is to smear silicone down in the cracks and joints with your finger. This will stop the leak for a little while until the rest of the seam sealer cracks. Best fix is to dig all of the old seam-sealer out and put new sealer in.
3: Side-glass seals. These are usually easier to spot as most of the time the leak will run down the inside of the glass when it rains. Symptoms are wet cargo-carpet and streaks on the inside of a foggy window. The fix is pretty simple, just time consuming. Basically you have to remove all of the interior trim for that side of the truck, un-bolt the glass, and with an assistant work a screw diver under the glass enough to run a piece of piano wire or some wire thin enough to cut what’s left of the seal. DO NOT try to force the glass out or else you will shatter the glass, end up with cuts, have a nice open hole in your Bronco II, and have to drop a good chunk of money for a replacement (and they’re not cheap.)
After the glass is out, clean the sealing surfaces as best as you can, and apply some “tar ribbon” around the sealing surface of the glass. You can get the tar ribbon at just about any automotive store or windshield shop. Everything else is reverse of removal.
4: Rear drip rail. Why ford put these on is beyond me, but they too can cause leaks. Basically the same was as number 2. Seam sealer dries, cracks, leaks. Symptoms are wet cargo carpet. The fix is the same as number 2’s.
5: Area behind top of rear hatch. Once again, seam sealer is the problem, but this time there is a bunch of it. symptoms are wet rear headliner and wet cargo carpet. There really isn’t a good temp fix for this because there is so much seam sealer that you’ll spend more time smearing silicone over it than it would take to break all of the seam sealer out and replace it.
All of the leaks above can lead to rust that puts the strength of the body in question. Rust around the front and rear body to frame bolts can be a problem, especially in a collision. The best way to fix it is to catch it before it starts.

There is another spot or two I’d like to make you all aware of and that’s the rear wheel wells. At the top center of the wheel well/ tread area is a hole. If you don’t see a hole then you may see a little rubber nipple from the plug. If so, your lucky because mine are out. From what I can tell it doesn’t take much to push them out such as a slinging gravel/mud etc… So, all of my interior is out I’ve notice when driving in the rain the tire throws water up inside which then runs down to the rear floorboard and behind the door jam.
The other is behind the rear tires/under the gas cap. If you look under the truck there is Seam Sealer that joins two sheet metal pieces. If that Seam Sealer cracks it lets water in but not out. Ask me how I know. To make the situation worse, there is a second layer of foam sealant under that first layer which acts like a sponge. At this point I’ve just cleaned it all out and put aluminum foil tape/Metal Duct Tape there to keep the tire from slinging water inside. If you pay attention to the design, the gas filler neck lets water in then it can’t escape easy which makes the situation more frustrating. At least with tape I can peal it off to let air in and clean it out if needed. A true fix would be drill the gas filler neck mount/sheet metal to drain better or cut it off completely. I thought about a mud flap but that’s a weird shaped area. If anyone else as resolved this issue please share.
I recently had found the floor boards and carpet soaked in my Bronco II. It’s usually parked in the garage, but it had to sit out for a month in the rain. I pulled the seats out, propped up the carpet in a few places, put a fan and a dehumidifier inside, and dried out the carpet.
Keep in mind that this is a 1987 Bronco II that has been garage kept since new.
After searching for the source of the water, I found the cowl to be the problem. The caulking where the floor board and the cowl seam is dried and cracked.
I slipped my camera into an access hole behind the clutch reservoir, so this picture was taken from the inside. It also shows the rubber flap that covers the drain hole and the caulking where it leaks. Here’s an older picture of the bronco.
The cowl also has about an 1-1/2″ down grade from the passenger side to the drivers side. And there is no drain on the passenger side. Here’s 180* from the 1st picture
I took the drivers side fender off too see the outside of the drain hole. when I ran water in the cowl I could see the water following the sheet metal back under the hood.
It would follow the edge back to where the firewall meets the side kick panel and get inside there too. Here you can see where the water can run down the seam at the kick panel. And also the leak between the cowl and firewall.
The cowl to firewall seam also goes behind the A/C, heat and fan Plenum’s and can leak into the passenger side floor. When I parked the Bronco II, it was leaning so that the passenger side was lower. Causing the water not to drain out properly, and leak here.
I stopped the water getting through the cowl to firewall seam buy injecting rubber sealant that I thinned out, by putting a rubber hose on a big syringe. Through the antenna hole and the grate.
I stopped the water getting into the kick panel to firewall seam by blocking off the area below the drain hole ( behind the fender ) with a piece of aluminum and adding silicone to the seam in the engine compartment.

Gordon Ramsay has some choice words for Piers Morgan.
The ongoing feud began earlier this week when the “Hell’s Kitchen” host, 52, revealed one his London restaurants, Bread Street Kitchen, is beginning to add vegan options to their menu.
But the tweet was quickly met with criticism from Morgan.
“Oh [for f**k sake], Ramsay,” the “Good Morning Britain” anchor, 53, wrote.
Ramsay waited until his appearance on “The Late Late Show” Tuesday night, where host James Cordon straight up asked the “Master Chef” judge about Morgan’s comments.
“What do you say to Piers’ critique? Corden asked.
“So Piers Morgan is now a food critic,” he said. “Go and f**k yourself. Seriously, really? Seriously?”
But it didn’t end there.
When a Twitter-user let Morgan know of Ramsay’s comments on live television, Morgan fired back once again.
He later added accused Ramsay of cashing-in on the vegan trend.
Ramsay has yet to respond.

A trip to the zoo meant grocery shopping got pushed back to Sunday. Before braving the supermarket’s aisles with two restless preschoolers I decided to fill their bellies with their favorite food, pizza! I ran the plan by the two little people sitting behind me strapped in their car seats, and they heartily approved. Weaving through traffic we arrived at the newest pizza place on the east side of town, Uncle Maddio’s Pizza Joint.
Uncle Maddio’s is located at 3122 Mahan Drive in the collection of shops that sit in front of the newly constructed Publix. With a squirming child in each hand we made our way towards the stucco and stone faced building. A gentleman held open the door and Miss Julia burst into the restaurant. Mason and I chased after her as she ran to a table and started introducing herself to several diners.
With Miss Julia under control we walked towards the area where orders are placed. Uncle Maddio’s is a pizza joint that allows diners to construct their own pies using a variety crusts, sauces, and toppings. They offer several sizes of pizza, ranging from individual to ones that will feed an entire family. The restaurant also offers salads and toasted paninis.
When it comes to pizza my kids like pepperoni and only pepperoni pizza. I decided to be a bit more daring and added some red onions to my pie. We opted for two individual pizzas and after making our choices I watched our lunches slide onto the conveyor belt oven. Before paying the kids stopped at the open front cooler to pick out a couple of drinks. Julia opted for apple juice, while Mason went for milk. Our lunch, including three drink came in at under $20.
Uncle Maddio’s tracks down each pizza’s owner by matching a number on the slip with a larger one you place on a stand at your table. We took a seat in a high back padded booth. 77 was our number and Mason looked around sipping on his drink and calling out the numbers on the tables around us while we waited. The pizza joint’s interior was comfortable, bright, and clean in line with most new fast casual restaurants.
After a short wait the pizzas arrived at our table on paper lined metal plates. The pizza was crisp on the bottom and the crust had a nice amount of chewiness. The sauce was a bit sweet, but had a good tomato flavor. Uncle Maddio’s did not skimp on the toppings, as both individual pizzas were covered with stringy mozzarella cheese and a generous amount of pepperoni and onions. Mason had sauce on his cheeks and gave me a thumbs up between bites. The individual size pie was a good value, and Uncle Maddio’s would be great during the week for a quick lunch.
One last note, the service at Uncle Maddio’s was great. The guy who brought our pizzas out sensed I had my hands full with two small children and grabbed plates, napkins, and cutlery for our table. It was a small gesture, but it made lunch go smoothly and I really appreciated it.
Uncle Maddio’s can be found online at unclemaddios.com, on Twitter @UncleMaddios and on Facebook. The Mahan pizza joint is open seven days a week from 11:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m., and they accept all major credit cards.

Aviva Pensions - Growth or income?
03 July 2018
Question by Ria
Please help me. Choosing a pension from Aviva. It asks if I want growth or income? Which one do I choose ? I'm 46 .
Answered by Holly Mackay
We obviously invest to make money. And hope for better returns than cash. The money we make can either be paid out to us as income or represent itself as growth.
Here’s a basic analogy. Imagine your pension is like a bag of Minstrels. Every year you get given an extra Minstrel. You can choose whether to eat it there and then or whether to pop it back into the bag and stockpile more Minstrels.
It’s the same with your investments. When companies you invest in make a profit, they can either re-invest that cash in making themselves bigger and better, they can stockpile it in the bank or they can give a bit back to their shareholders. Any cash they pay out to shareholders is called a dividend. This is like some income for you. You can either choose to take that cash when it’s offered, or re-invest it and buy more shares with it. Foregoing the cash today for a bigger pile of shares. And that’s the difference between investment for income and investing for growth.
As an example, £1,000 in the UK stock market might pay you an income of about £20-£30 a year. Growth investors will choose to ‘re-invest’ this and increase the number of shares held. Which they hope will go up in value too.
If you could use some income to boost a salary or a pension, for example, you will probably want the income option. If you’re saving for something like pension which is at least a decade away, it probably makes sense to grow your stash and consider any ‘growth’ option to boost your savings

Every architecture office has that one project that has gone (or is going) horribly wrong. Deadlines are not being met. Staff are leaving en mass. And the organisation is hemorrhaging money. Much like Volermort’s ‘He who should not be named’ tag, everyone knows which project they are referring to, and no one wants to be a part of it. Somewhat reassuringly, this phenomenon is not isolated to a single architecture practice. Depressingly, however, is that it is systemic across the industry. Given its non-discriminatory nature, the root cause must extend beyond geographic location, building typology, or design intent. This post proposes that at its core, much of the issue derives from ‘Technical debt’. That is, how shortcuts taken today to hit a deadline means more work tomorrow. Technical debt is architecture’s ticking time bomb – one that must be diffused before it is too late.
A familiar story
Consider the following thought experiment through the lens of the ‘5 Whys’ technique, as championed by Eric Ries1:
Why is this architecture team so stressed? Because they are not meeting deadlines and are working considerable overtime.
Why are they not meeting deadlines? Because they have to redo a lot of previous work, which was never accounted for in the program.
Why do they have to redo previous work? Because the team took shortcuts in order to ‘save time’.
Why were shortcuts taken? Because the organisation is deadline-driven.
Why is the organisation deadline-driven? Because they think only of contractual output rather than digital process.
The spiral of death
As more and more deadlines pass, the project soon spirals out of control. Word spreads throughout the office, and now no one wants to work on the project. The only thing left to do is hire new staff. Unaware of what awaits them, the fresh-faced staff jump in, eager to impress. But so deep is the technical debt, they soon find themselves drowning. More corners are cut so as not to be the source of future missed deadlines. Finally, after endless overtime and being unable to arrest the downward pull, they resign. And the vicious circle repeats.
With no one held accountable for poor digital processes, each new team member inherits the accumulated failings of all that came before them. And even if they wanted to hold someone accountable, the churn is so high that no one is left to blame. And worse of all, all of the project knowledge is gone due to high attrition. The project has surpassed a tipping point beyond which there is no going back.
‘Technical debt’ is the term derived from the software industry used to describe how shortcuts taken today to hit a deadline means more work tomorrow. Far too often, project leaders take a hands-off approach to technology. Unfortunately, this means they can’t manage the technical debt ledger. Unaware of the dire consequences unfolding, there is a ‘just get it done’ attitude. When this approach fails – which it always does – blame is often attributed to insufficient digital capabilities within the team or poor BIM leadership. While these may be contributing factors, the real reason is that had the project leader been a true leader, they would have understood and managed technical debt before it got out of control. Technical debt is everyone’s responsibility, but none so much as leadership’s.
Breaking the cycle
Through our strategic consulting work as well as via the recent Australia Institute of Architects’ (AIA) ‘BIM and Beyond: Design technology in architecture‘ report, which Parametric Monkey co-authored, we’ve come to see systemic errors in how organisations – both big and small – embrace technology and most importantly, how they manage it.
Old-fashioned organisations tend to see technology as a functional silo and categorise it as ‘overhead’. Managing technology becomes an expense to be minimised, and this manifests itself through the appointment of a single digital leader. Modern organisations, on the other hand, manage technology with rigour and accountability. Technology permeates the organisation at every level, from the CEO to the interns. A technology-led approach is the modus operandi. And by this, we’re not talking about what organisations say they do. We’re talking about what they actually do. And the two don’t always align.
Middle managers & digital capabilities
The point of departure for any organisation looking to eliminate technical debt should be a review of their project leader’s digital capabilities. At a minimum, project leaders must have a base understanding of the software their team are using. This might mean sending project leaders to a Revit workshop designed for managers. The purpose here is not to become proficient in the software but rather to highlight critical issues that can become highly problematic so that they can be proactively managed.
After one of our Revit workshops earlier this year, one of the studio leads gave probably the best feedback we could hope for. He reported that he now understood that while two drawings may look the same, they can come from fundamentally different models – one full of quick and dirty hacks, the other modelled correctly. But since he was only ever reviewing 2D drawings, he never knew the actual state of the model. In other words, previously, he was unable to manage technical debt because he never actually looked at the model nor understood how it was modelled. Now, with improved capabilities, he was equipped to manage technical debt.
The Revit dashboard
Many organisations have begun implementing Revit dashboards to assist the management process. And while this is undoubtedly a step in the right direction, often, they provide limited insight. Sure, you can get a feel for how many errors or filled regions are in the model, but this is not a true reflection of the model’s fitness for purpose.
Consider the task of documenting windows. Depending on your office standards or the client’s standards, windows may be documented on a ‘type’ or an ‘instance’ basis. This decision then informs how those windows should be modelled. Suppose a team member begins modelling windows as curtain walls (instance-based) because they are quicker and easier than a window family (type-based). In that case, they may look exactly the same but will behave fundamentally different when documenting. One will be highly efficient and minimise errors. The other will be incredibly time-consuming or require complete remodelling. These types of issues often don’t factor in standard Revit dashboards. As such, technical expertise is needed to make the correct decision about the best way forward.
Managing the technical debt ledger
Many BIM managers will be well aware of this very issue. But if there is only a single BIM manager in the office, they can’t be in all places at once. But here’s the thing – they don’t need to be. Project leaders must take a hands-on approach to technology if they are to have any chance of managing it with rigour and accountability. This does not mean they need to be Revit experts. Nor does it mean that everything has to be modelled the ‘correct’ way from the beginning.
It means having a discussion with the project team to unearth the best way. The decision may still be taken to do the ‘quick and dirty’ option, for example, in a competition when it isn’t yet a ‘real’ project. But at least it is in the ledger, and everyone knows what is needed down the line – both technically and in terms of time and resources. Only once this is understood can the ‘correct’ decision be made and technical debt managed.
Embracing an early adopter mindset
Many modern organisations that manage technical debt well have an early adopter psychographic profile. This is a challenging concept to convey to clients, as almost every organisation believes they are technically savvy and leaders in their field. Much like car drivers rating themselves as ‘better than average’, we can’t all be above average. Most, in fact, are average. So, where does your organisation fall on the spectrum of digital savviness? It’s an involved process, but the canary in the coal mine question is: “How many digital leaders are there in your organisation?”
Early-majority and late-majority organisations tend to search for that one key individual to fix all of their digital problems. Unfortunately, unicorns don’t exist, especially digital ones. But even if they did, consolidating technical expertise to minimise ‘overhead’ is not the solution. We’ve seen organisations with one digital leader per +200 staff (1:200). Such an organisational structure is doomed to fail, regardless of the leader’s competence.
On the other hand, early-adopter organisations understand that architecture and technology have converged and that digital management must be distributed across the entire organisation, not just concentrated on a single ‘chosen one’. These organisations have created deep expertise across all project teams. And because of their attitude to technology, they have the added benefit of attracting digitally competent staff. In this scenario, it becomes a self-reinforcing loop.
Technical debt is the culmination of many interdependent forces that require addressing across multiple fronts – from digital capabilities, team structures, hiring practices, establishing psychological safety for staff to ask questions, to even how staff are remunerated. But it is achievable. Organisations must resist the temptation to palm-off responsibility to a single digital leader. Instead, senior management and middle managers must take ownership of the situation and embrace proactive technical debt management. Technical debt is everyone’s responsibility, but none so much as leadership’s.

Re: Redington 'Butter Sticks'
They are out, or should be.
My my fly shop has a couple of them in. I pulled up and one was laying on the bushes outside. Good lord is it ugly!! the blank is something else.

tried three different kinds of capsule. When I was offered the chance to try out the new phil&teds
alpha capsule I was keen to try it out and I can say that it is definitely the best capsule car seat I’ve
What I liked best about it is that it’s light, easy to carry and safer than the other capsules that
I’ve tried. My son was more reclined in the alpha so I felt that I could leave him in for a bit longer
because his head wouldn’t go forward the same as in other capsules. I also liked that I could adjust
the padding as needed. Other parents commented on how stylish it was and were impressed with
the lightness. Having a light capsule really helps your back and is more comfortable to use.
go – school drop offs and pickups, to the mall and supermarket, and on short walks. It was really
handy at the doctor’s clinic where larger buggies would be too big to go. It was great for being able
to get in and out of small spaces and was very easy to maneuver. I could even maneuver it one
handed while holding another child! An advantage of using this over the snap and go wheels is that
you can hire elsewhere is that the tyres allow you to go more places and it moves much better. Plus
you have the buggy for later! Placing the alpha onto the adapters on the buggy was easy once I got
the hang of it. It just takes a little practice lining them up with the capsule.
I’d definitely recommend the alpha capsule, and the smart buggy as a travel system to my friends.
Many of whom came over for a look when the saw me with it and loved it!

Fall 2006 - Volume 9 Number 4
|Is Knowledge of Change Theory a Critical Competency in the Training of Health Care Practitioners?
Allied health care practitioners, such as physical therapist and athletic trainers, are trained in the prevention, assessment, and management of injuries for athletes and the physically active. The effectiveness of treatment for physical conditions is directly linked to the client’s psycho-socio-emotional well-being. It is critical for practitioners to understand how psycho-social-emotional issues are interrelated and impact the physically active person’s recovery from injury.
Athletes and physically active individuals are considered to be at a higher risk for psycho-socio-emotional problems than their non-active peers. Current research has highlighted several areas: violent behavior, problematic gambling, drug and alcohol abuse, steroid use, disordered eating, and excessive exercise (Green, Uryasz, Petr, & Bray, 2001; Karlson, Becker & Merkur, 2001; Nelsen & Wechsler, 2001). These same areas are viewed as the most common mental health issues in the United States today (Vaas, 2003).
Health care practitioners provide a variety of health care services and are in a key position to identify psycho-socio-emotional concerns that interfere with optimal performance and overall well-being of their physically active clients. Despite this, there appears to be relatively little knowledge of, or use of, interventions by athletic trainers and other rehabilitation professionals (Francis, Anderson, & Maley, 2000; Hemmings & Povey, 2002). Suggested reasons to explain this low rate of use include a lack of knowledge of the potential benefits of intervention strategies, a lack of access to properly credentialed consultants or psychologists, and the perceived stigma among athletes that is associated with being referred for counseling (Gordon, Potter & Ford, 1998; Hemmings & Povey, 2002). Given this, there is a need for health care practitioners to master competencies in the psycho-socio-emotional domain as part of their formal academic and clinical training. Specifically, competencies need to include: effective helping skills, the ability to conduct an informal assessment of psycho-socio-emotional issues, and be able to provide education, support, and referrals.Proposed Study
The Stages of Change Model (Prochaska, Norcosse, & DiClemente, 1994) has been well integrated into the core curricula in the United States for health care practitioners, such as health educators, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and nutritionists. Research has shown that effective change depends upon the practitioner’s ability to assess client readiness and utilize intervention strategies that are appropriate for the client’s stage of change (McConnaughy, Prochaska, & Velicer (1983). Multiple groups of practicing physical therapists and athletic trainers will be pre-tested on their knowledge and practical application of the Stages of Change. In particular, these individuals will be tested on their utilization of effective helping skills, on how they assess psycho-socio-emotional issues through the use of case studies, and the application of intervention strategies (i.e., education, support, and the referral process). Next, a workshop will be offered to practitioners that will include: an overview of the Stages of Change Model and the application of the Decision Making Model. Lastly, a post-test will be administered to ascertain the practitioner’s understanding of effective helping skills, assessment of psycho-socio-emotional issues, intervention strategies and their benefit to servicing their clients. The pretest instrument will include a section on practitioner preparation (i.e. education and clinical training to date) in addition to demographic characteristics.Stages of Change Theory
In 1982, Prochaska and DiClemente developed the Transtheoretical Model for behavior change. The basic premise of the model, best described in, Changing for Good (Prochaska, Norcosse, & DiClemente, 1994) is, that change is a process, with predictable stages. There are specific processes that are effective for promoting change in each stage. Stages are not necessarily completed in order and difficulties may be encountered in any of the stages. There are five stages:
A critical distinguishing factor in facilitating change in clients is the practitioner’s ability to assess the level of readiness of their client to change. This “readiness for change” is paramount in determining what strategies the practitioner can utilize to assist the client in making positive and enduring change.The Decision Making Model
The Decision-Making Model (Bacon & Anderson, 2005), (Figure 1) is a protocol to guide the health care practitioner to first, make a preliminary assessment of the client, looking for red flags when individuals exhibit signs of psycho-social-emotional distress, and then to help facilitate client readiness for change. This Model provides a decision process for emergency situations and one for planned interventions. The framework for this Model was developed using theories and concepts from the fields of counseling and psychology (i.e. Stages of Change Model), and incorporates the competencies of the American College of Sports Medicine (1975).
© Bacon & Anderson (2005)Summary
In 1975, the American College of Sports Medicine began recommending the integration of change theory in the delivery of health-related and rehabilitation-based programs in which exercise prescription was a major part. The Stages of Change Model has been well integrated into the core curricula in the United States for many health care practitioners. Yet, athletic trainers whose sole focus is to prevent, assess, manage and rehabilitate sport related injuries for the physically active have no exposure to change theory in their educational preparation. The intent of this study is to utilize focus groups of practicing physical therapists and athletic trainers to assess their knowledge of change theory, its application for working with clients, specifically the practitioner’s ability to apply theory to practice. The outcome of the study will help to identify the various training needs of athletic trainers and potentially impact their academic and clinical preparation in Change Theory.References

Glad I did.
Missing one bolt completely, one is oh so loose (left) and the third (right) is moving. This could have been oh so bad. Sprocket moves if it's wiggled.
Hopefully the missing one is not snapped off and in the drive.
One bolt will work fine actually. There is no load on the bolts and the sprocket can move around on the spline without problem. Some people use a snap ring (C-clip) instead of the bolt plate. The missing bolt just fell out on the ground and it may have been many miles ago.The 14-15-16 tooth sprockets use a 3 bolt retainer generally, the 13 tooth uses a 2 bolt retainer and they all work fine. Stock has a rubber gasket for anti-rattle I believe but is not required.
The important thing is to not have the sprocket come off the shaft, which I don't know if it can with the sprocket cover on. So, no worries.
Get a new bolt and use blue loctite and you can move on to real worries like running out of gas.

Four years ago, we came to Switzerland on holiday not only to check a few items off our bucket lists but also as a Winter ‘test-run’ to experience a European Winter – within hours of arriving, I knew we were in trouble. We’d stumbled upon something magical and there was no going back.
There are certain things in life that will take your breath away – the birth of a child, a sleeping baby, a beautiful sunrise, an incredible act of kindness. Let me add to the list … snow covered landscapes!
That holiday became the gateway to my love of Winter, with sub-zero temperatures outside, bundling up in Winter woolies, Christmas markets, open air ice rinks, twinkling lights in every window, frozen lakes, huddling around outdoor fires sipping Gluhwein and hot chocolate, the coziness of home and the soft, quiet, calmness of falling snow.
And it’s not just me, my ‘sun baby’ loves it too!
and so does her Dad!
Side note: When you find a man who’s enthusiasm for snow matches your own and who doesn’t bat an eye lid at your suggestion to spend 5 hours driving in the car to find it – hold on tight, he’s a keeper!
This is now our second winter living here in Switzerland and the excitement of it all has still not worn off, although busy work and late school schedules mean that we need to get creative with our time to ensure that we get to experience all of the Christmas festivities. I also have to keep reminding myself that we live here now and that if we don’t get to it this year, there’s always next year.
The only thing that’s missing this time of the year is family, so when I received a text earlier this year from my cousin asking if they could spend a few days with us, my heart was over-joyed. These are my people, we live the same, we love the same …
We squeezed in a lot over our four days together but the best part, was climbing into bed at night after a long, fun day and snuggling up with a contented heart knowing that just outside my bedroom door was family. Big cousins, little cousins.

Scottish independence: Gordon Brown outlines 'power-sharing' UK
- 10 March 2014
- From the section Scotland
Former prime minister Gordon Brown said Holyrood should be given more control over tax as part of a power sharing plan between London and Edinburgh.
He called for a move away from the current system in favour of a constitutional partnership of nations.
Senior Lib Dem Sir Menzies Campbell said there was a consensus to devolving more financial powers to Holyrood.
The Scottish government said only independence would give Scotland the powers it needed to flourish.
Speaking in Glasgow ahead of the 18 September independence referendum, Mr Brown argued for a move away from a centralised British system to one where nations shared power, risk and resources.
He told the audience: "We need to build the future of the relationship between Scotland, England and the rest of the United Kingdom.
"I believe there are six constitutional changes we have got to make for a better relationship between Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom, to turn what I would call a unitary and centralised state of the past into a partnership of equals and one where there is power-sharing across the United Kingdom."
Scotland is already due to receive new powers over income tax from April 2016, when the UK Treasury will deduct 10p from standard and upper rates of income tax in Scotland, giving MSPs the power to decide how to raise cash.
But Mr Brown suggested letting the UK government decide the first 5p of income tax and giving responsibility over the next 15p to Scotland was a "fair way" of raising 40% of the revenue of the Scottish Parliament in Scotland.
The Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath MP and former chancellor's six changes would involve:
- A new UK constitutional law to set out the purpose of the UK as pooling and sharing resources for the defence, security and well-being of the citizens of all four nations
- A constitutional guarantee of the permanence of the Scottish Parliament
- A new division of powers between Scotland and Westminster that gives Holyrood more powers in employment, health, transport and economic regeneration
- A new tax sharing agreement that balances the commitment of the UK to pool and share its resources with the need for accountability to the electors in all the places where money is spent
- New power-sharing partnerships to address shared problems on poverty, unemployment, housing need and the environment
- A "radical" transfer of powers downwards from Westminster and Edinburgh to local communities
Mr Brown's proposals are being submitted to the Labour Party's devolution commission, which is looking into strengthening the Scottish Parliament's powers.
The Scottish Conservatives have also been examining the issue of increasing the powers of the Scottish Parliament.
Meanwhile, Sir Menzies, who has been tasked with finding a consensual cross-party alternative to independence, published the Campbell II report, drawing together the arguments of the other parties on devolution.
The former Liberal Democrat leader said there was growing consensus that the Scottish Parliament's financial powers should be expanded to make it responsible for raising the taxes to pay for most of the money it spends, and that the institution should be entrenched permanently.
Speaking in Edinburgh, the North East Fife MP said: "Today's report makes a series of rational, reasonable and indeed radical recommendations by which this reform could take place. Equipping Scotland with more powers, what I regard as an early step for a federal UK, can be done.
"2015 is the time when it should be done. To give a stable future for Scotland and the UK it must be done.
"The proposals in this report will bring people together after the referendum. It is a radical programme for change."
The Campbell II report made seven recommendations:
- The 2015 Queen's Speech should include provisions to strengthen Scotland's powers
- Political parties should commit to this in their UK election manifestoes
- The UK government should look at all options to make the plans a reality
- The Scottish government should make available its referendum research to inform the Campbell II proposals
- The Scottish Parliament should ensure Scotland's new fiscal body can cope with further devolved financial powers after a referendum "No" vote
- The Secretary of State for Scotland should convene a meeting within 30 days of a "No" vote to secure consensus for the devolution of more powers
- Further devolution of tax powers should be made through a further Scotland Act
The Democrat Home Rule Commission, chaired by Sir Menzies, previously backed a substantial transfer of financial and constitutional power to Holyrood in a report in October 2012.
Deputy Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said of the plans: "I don't think there looks to be any chance at all of that happening.
"And, unless people know what more powers we would be guaranteed to get, whichever of these parties wins the next UK election, then how on Earth can people be expected to take it seriously?"
Ms Sturgeon added: "There's a pattern here, where the Westminster parties, when they're in a position to deliver more powers, fail to do so.
"Then, with the threat of a referendum and a 'Yes' vote, they suddenly start to decide that they're in favour of all of this anyway."

Day 271 – Was a lovely day so went to our local country park for a walk around and for the girls to ride their scooters.
Day 272 – Bee in a box again. Think I will have to share an obligatory weekly box photo.
Day 273 – I finally purchased a Yankee Candle and lit it up today! Love the smell of it!! I’m officially a fan.
Day 274 – I love these lilies…. I had them in my garden but had to get rid as they are dangerous for cats. At the local garden centre they were selling for £2.50 and convinced my parent to buy them as they grow yearly and also smell lovely!
Day 275 – Bee. In a box. Again. Although this time it is on top of her head.
Day 276 – Reviewing loom bands today.
Day 277 – Decorating ready for Eid tomorrow!
Lots of pretty colours in your pictures this week. Candle looks great!
Erica Price recently posted…Week 40 of 2014
Love that loom band. I have managed to avoid them so far but Isaac is starting to show interest
Hehe you have to love kids with boxes!
Clare Nicholas recently posted…Project 365 – Photo Round Up Week 40
yay to yankee candles and loom bands! 🙂
Jaime Oliver recently posted…Silent Sunday 5/10/14
love the Bee in a box pictures, especially with the teddies in with her, she really does make me laugh. Nice to get them out to the park, not be long before it is dark after school.
Love yankee candles but love love love neom candles, I won some a few years back ( nearly £40 a candle I was not buying them) but they are amazing.
You should have made decorations with your loom bands
ha ha a box as a hat of course – we do that here! the loom band looks fab x
Bee seems to LOVE boxes! It’s fun, isn’t it?
Loom Bands are all other the place. I might have a go…
Have a lovely week. xx

I don't have specific numbers, but there will be some drop in performance, albeit a slight one.
There was a blog post that described the general performance of complete disk encryption on a system partition and how that can affect the users perceived performance. It seems to indicate that CPU takes a bigger performance hit than the hard disk:
For me the critical question was what kind of overhead does encrypting your hard drive have on the performance of the system as a whole. To try and measure this I used HDTune to measure drive performance before and after encryption with TrueCrypt. Before encryption I saw an average transfer rate of about 47MB/s with my laptop's SATA drive in AHCI mode. Max was about 59.9MB/s and a burst rate of 85.8MB/s with an average CPU usage of 4.1% throughout the test.HD Performance before Truecrypt
After encryption I saw an average transfer rate of 46.9MB/s, peak of 59.7 MB/s, burst of 62.9MB/s and an average CPU usage of 26.7%. I didn't expect it, but that's where I saw my hit. It makes sense when you think about it - the encryption/decryption of the data generally doesn't result in reading/writing significantly more data (encryption and decryption is done at the block or sector level not at the entire file level) so you don't see substantially reduced disk performance.
Tom's Hardware also has a good article, "Protect Your Data With Encryption", that details the performance implications of using TrueCrypt on a complete volume.
Also, see Scott Gu's blog post regarding the speed of the physical hard disk (i.e. the RPM) (Tip/Trick: Hard Drive Speed and Visual Studio Performance) which can make a big difference to Visual Studio's performance whether encryption is employed or not.
There's another post here: What is the Performance Impact of System Encryption With TrueCrypt

The Gamers Sanctuary in Flint, MI has started running regular Fantasy tournaments every month. I attended their first with the Skaven to see how I could do against a new field of opponents. Here is what I took and how well I did:
Grey Seer, dispel scroll, foul pendant
Grey Seer, power scroll
Plague Priest, plague furnace, forbidden rod
Warlock Engineer, doomrocket
25 Storm Vermin, storm banner
30 Clan Rats
30 Clan Rats
5 Giant Rats
5 Gutter Runners, poison slings
30 Plague Monks, plague banner
Hell Pit Abomination, warp spikes
Warp Lightning Cannon
Warp Lightning Cannon
Game 1 vs Tomb Kings
Lich High Priest
Prince on chariot
10 Skeletal Horsemen
6 Skeletal Horse Archers
38 Tomb Guard
The scenario was Dawn Attack, and I had the first turn. To start off, my Gutter Runners were deployed up the middle, and for the first time I utilized Bless With Filth on them. As they were already poisoned, the unloaded a volley of 5+ poison sling shots at the Hierotitan, but cam one wound short of killing him. My cannons unloaded on the chariot block, killing one.
Turn 2 I went on the offensive with my second Grey Seer, Skitterleaping him towards the chariots and titan. After arriving though, he miscast and lost a level, along with Skitterleap. My Storm Vermin slammed into the flank of the Skeletal Horsemen and wiped them out, eliminating the TK vanguard.
Turn 3 the Storm Vermin were able to get into the flank of the King as the Plague Furnace charged the front of the chariot block. In combat the Hell Pit Abomination died to a flurry of Tomb Guard, but not until after killing all by 6 of the unit over two turns. The Skitterleaping Grey Seer while short on mobility, was able to Crack's Call the Hierotitan, a Prince on foot, and a row of Tomb Guard. After the Furnace finished off the chaiots, BSB, and General, my opponent conceded on turn 3.
Game 2 vs Vampire Counts
Game 2 against David's Vampires who I have played preparing for the GLWL Team Challenge, and who I plan on seeing in this year's GLWL League. Here was his list, with TWO Terror Gheists.
Vampire Lord, L4
22 Grave Guard, banner of the barrows
Game 2 being a Battleline, I was able to deploy how I wanted against David's monster mash. I was able to get my army in the left corner and have plenty of time to try and shoot down the monsters while I flanked his forces. It started out well on the first turn when I was able to shoot down the first Terror Gheist with poison Gutter Runners and a Cannon shot.
Turn 2 was filled with magic influencing the battle. David cast Van Hels with his Vampire Lord irresistibly, slamming his remaining Grave Guard into my second Grey Seer's Clan Rat unit, but losing both Van Hels and Invocation when he was drained of 2 magic levels. The Grey Seer survived so that on the next turn he could unleash his own magical flurry, but he also miscast and Dimensional Cascaded! With a lucky roll I survived, and blasted the Grave Guard with the large strength 10 template, finishing the unit off with an unintended explosion.
The same turn, I was able to charge the Vampire Lord who had been left in a small remaining Skeleton unit that had been decimated by the Doomrocket. Able to kill off the last 2 skeletons and defeat the Vampire Lord through crumbling combat resolution, David's army started to crumble around him. On turn 3 I was able to shoot down the Vargulf and 2 more Cairn Wraiths and force a concession from the Vampires.
Game 3 vs Dark Elves
Game 3 vs Adam's Dark Elves was an interesting match. Adam was a new player but handily earned a spot at the final table being the only other 2-0 player at the event. He had a tough Dark Elf list that I had seen the likes of before, but is never an "easy" game.
Dreadlord, pendant of khaleth, hydra blade
High Sorceress, shadow, dagger
Noble, cold one, death piercer, BSB
10 Black Guard, asf banner
9 Cold One Knights
17 Witch Elves
I started things of strong on the first turn with a torrent of magic. For starters, I only rolled 3 dice for the winds of magic, but I used the Forbidden Rod to score a full 6 more power dice, and also channeled a die for a full 10 power dice while Adam only had 2. Plague first decimated multiple units of elves, bouncing between units and leaving the Blackguard and the General in a vulnerable unit size. Which then left the opening for my second Grey Seer to use his Power Scroll to cast the 13th Spell on only a 13 to wipe out the Blackguard and the DE General.
Turn 2 was more of the same for me with magic, able to take down the Cold One Knights to 1 model. Turn 2 the tables started to turn as the Dark Elves hit the Skaven lines. A mindrazored, poisoned up Witch Elf unit tore through the Plague Monks and Plague Furnace, killing them all in 2 turns. The Abom and the Storm Vermin got into the Corsairs and a Hydra then next turn, but were routed and the Abom killed while the SV were run down as they fled. Things swung back in my favor as the Abomination stood back up after death with 4 wounds, but more importantly did not give up its points.
Finally I was able to come back strong on the final two turns with more magical onslaught. The Hydras had been tearing through my lines, but on turn 5 and 6 I took out 1 Hydra then another with Crack's call to finish the Dark Elves off. The game ended a solid victory 2100 to 1500 as I secured the tournament championship.
The Skaven win another, and I got some solid games in to prepare for this season's Great Lakes Warhammer League. Until next time!

The Pekiti-Tirsia system is best known for its Daga, or knife…not just in the realm of Filipino martial arts but all martial arts. The teaching methodology behind the tactical use of and defense against the knife is what puts Pekiti-Tirsia apart from the rest. It approaches all training as if a blade is involved. If the opponent is not wielding a knife in his hand, the practitoner assumes that it hasn’t been pulled out yet.
The knife is among the oldest weapons and tools used by mankind, and it is still widely used today…even after the advent of firearms. Some of the enduring legacy of the knife comes from its availability, its simplicity. A knife never has to be reloaded and does not jam. All that is needed is a willing individual. Tactical folders and field-grade knives are commonplace, but even more so are everyday items such as pens, pencils, utility knives, and the like. The real danger to the law-abding citizen is intent. A pen is not normally a threat to anyone, but in the hands of an individual who is intent on hurting someone, that same pen is now a weapon of opportunity. That very same danger is amplified if a knife is involved. Pekiti-Tirsia aims to heighten edged-weapon awareness through responsible training in tried and true methodologies.
Pekiti-Tirsia knife theory is generally based on the assumption that the practitioner is wielding a small knife…with blade lengths of three to four and half inches, which are the sizes for the most common pocket knives. Larger knives tend to fall into Solo Baston-techniques which rely on hacking, due to the added power from the additional weight and length of the blade. Larger knives are not as common a carry item as small knives, thus practitioners practice with the size knife that they may probably carry. Small knives tend not to be able to do the kind of damage that larger knives can do, thus not having the “stopping power” required to defend against determined attackers. With this in mind, the Pekiti-Tirsia system tends to teach the practitioner as if the practitioner is at some sort of disadvantage: if the opponent has a sword, the practitoner has a knife; if the opponent has a large knife, the practitioner has a smaller knife; if the opponent has two knives (or more), the practitioner has one; if the opponent has only one knife, then the practitioner has nothing.
Although there are many ways to hold and deploy a knife, there are two basic grips in Pekiti-Tirsia: sak-sak (or hammer-grip) and pakal (ice-pick grip).
Adecedario De Sak-Sak:
This set teaches the basic body mechanics and footwork to use the particularities of knife in hammer grip against specific targets.
Abecedario De Pakal:
This set teaches the basic body mechanics and footwork to use the particularities of knife in ice-pick grip against specific targets.

The core argument of this book is that citizenship is produced and practiced through movements against injustice. These take the shape of struggles—by people at the grass-roots level and middle classes and their representing organisations and activists—for cultural recognition, social and economic justice, and popular representation. Such popular struggles in Indonesia have largely ended up engaging with the state through both discursive and non-discursive processes. While the state is a common focal point, these struggles are fragmented across different sectors and subject positions. Developing chains of solidarity among fragments of struggles is highly important, yet attempts at bridging fragmentation leave much to be desired.
The character and fragmentation of popular struggles reflects the diversity of injustices and subject positions in society, but is also shaped by political dynamics. The struggle for citizenship and the historical development of democracy in Indonesia are closely interwoven. The inability to bridge fragmentation among citizenship struggles mimics pro-democracy movements' lack of capacity in building broader alliances. Likewise, these movements' tendency toward elitism and habit of penetrating the State also characterise current struggles for citizenship.
In this situation of multiple injustices, collectivities and mobilisations, it could be argued that democratic representation and politics is the foremost arena for integrating and transforming antagonistic relations within fragmented popular struggles. However, this requires a democracy that not only has sovereign control over public affairs, but also contains robust channels and organisations for political representation. In Indonesia, it is found that formal democracy is underperforming in this respect. It is thus a foremost concern to transform democracy itself, also as a means for transforming structures of injustice in society. The development of transformative agendas, organisations, and strategies remains a continued need and challenge for the realisation of citizenship in contemporary Indonesia.

Qryptos exchange lets us to Safely trade the most popular cryptocurrency markets on the world’s most advanced trading platform. Each day, more and more token issuers are experiencing cyber-attacks, hacks, and impersonators which have led to multimillion dollars’ worth of theft. This is because current ICO platforms do not have the proper security measures in place for purchasers to deposit and transfer their funds.
Deposits are typically transferred from one ETH address to another without proper KYC checks, often using a single publicly announced address for purchasers to send their funds. Hackers and scammers take advantage of this by posting fake ETH addresses on forums, and unsuspecting token purchasers end up transferring crypto to the hackers’ addresses.
Even after this blog if you find it difficult to operate on this platform, do seek help at our social channel of Altdecrypt: telegram and Whatsapp groups.

Published on May 8th, 2019
Jaipur is the largest city in Rajasthan and was built in the eighteenth century by Sawai Jai Singh as India’s first planned city. Jaipur is a major tourist attraction amongst Indian as well as international travelers. It belongs to the tourist Golden Triangle of Delhi, Jaipur and Agra. It hosts several attractions like the City Palace, Govind Dev ji Temple, Vidhan Sabha, Birla Temple, several massive Rajput forts and so on. It also serves as a stepping stone for travelers heading to the desert cities of Jodhpur and Jaisalmer.
Now Jaipur is growing fast and various development projects are being undertaken by the government and private enterprises. The town planning and infrastructure development in Jaipur is quite above the mark relative to many other Indian cities.
Jaipur is often called the Pink City in reference to its distinctly colored buildings, which were originally painted this color to imitate the red sandstone architecture of Maugham cities. The present earthy red color originates from repainting of the buildings undertaken for a visit by the Prince of Wales in 1876.
1. Jantar Mantar
Adjacent to the City Palace is Jantar Mantar, an observatory begun by Jai Singh II in 1728 that resembles a collection of bizarre giant sculptures. Built for measuring the heavens, the name is derived from the Sanskrit yanta mantr, meaning ‘instrument of calculation’, and in 2010 it was added to India’s list of Unesco World Heritage Sites. Paying for a local guide is highly recommended if you wish to learn how each fascinating instrument works.
2. Hawa Mahal
Jaipur’s most-distinctive landmark, the Hawa Mahal is an extraordinary pink-painted, delicately honeycombed hive that rises a dizzying five storeys. It was constructed in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh to enable ladies of the royal household to watch the life and processions of the city. The top offers stunning views over Jantar Mantar and the City Palace in one direction and over Sireh Deori Bazaar in the other.
3. City Palace
A complex of courtyards, gardens and buildings, the impressive City Palace is right in the centre of the Old City. The outer wall was built by Jai Singh II, but within it the palace has been enlarged and adapted over the centuries. There are palace buildings from different eras, some dating from the early 20th century. It is a striking blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture.
4. Nahargarh Fort
These 03 Hill forts stand on the edge of the Aravalli Hills, overlooking the city of Jaipur in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Along with Amer Fort and Jaigarh Fort, Nahargarh once formed a strong defense ring for the city. Most Interesting fort is Nahargarh fort. The fort exhibits a beautiful Indo-European architecture housing several beautiful structures inside.
5. Tour of Jaipur Wax Museum
Visit Jaipur’s very own Wax Museum situated in the 18th century, Nahargarh Fort. The drive to the fort situated at the top of the Aravalli mountain range offers a breathtaking view of the city of Jaipur. Equally mesmerizing is the collection of wax works housed in its museum. Take pictures with a Maharaja or go to the moon with an Indian astronaut!
6. Albert Hall Museum
Experience Albert Hall Museum by Night Tourism (7 PM to 10 PM) with Admission Ticket with Optional Transfer and explore the attraction in the Jaipur City. We Would be Giving you Service as per Option you choose while Booking The Trip with Description of Option as Given — Ticket Only & Ticket with Transfer Option. Please Note Actual Ticket will be Emailed To You After Booking Confirmation.
7. Amber Fort
Admire the grandeur of the illustriously captivating Amber Fort. Visit the royal 16th-century fort constructed before the formation of Jaipur City.
Witness the magnificence of the grand Amber Fort with WRJ Holidays. Meet our representative, your private tour guide, in your hotel lobby, and proceed for a visit to the astounding Amber Fort. Feel the excitement of the royals as we take a brief joy-ride on an elephant to reach the top of the hill.
Now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the 16th century Amber Fort, also known as the Amer Fort, came into existence much before the city of Jaipur was founded. Commissioned by Raja Man Singh I, the fort served as the capital of the Kachwaha Rajput kingdom and was built as a safety haven to protect the kingdom from attacking enemies. Construction of the fort was completed under Mirza Raja Jaising I.
8. Jal Mahal
This great little ice-cream parlour has been going since 1952. There are around 50 flavours to choose from, but if it’s hot outside, it’s hard to beat mango. There are also plenty of other ice-cream concoctions, including sundaes and banana splits, many with fanciful names.
9. Royal Gaitor
The royal cenotaphs, just outside the city walls, beneath Nahargarh, feel remarkably undiscovered and are an appropriately restful place to visit. The stone monuments are beautifully and intricately carved. Maharajas Pratap Singh, Madho Singh II and Jai Singh II, among others, are honoured here. Jai Singh II has the most impressive marble cenotaph, with a dome supported by 20 carved pillars.
Built in 1734 and extended in 1868, this sturdy fort overlooks the city from a sheer ridge to the north. The story goes that the fort was named after Nahar Singh, a dead prince whose restless spirit was disrupting construction. Whatever was built in the day crumbled in the night. The prince agreed to leave on condition that the fort was named for him. The views are glorious and there’s a restaurant that’s perfect for a cold beer.

Chris Graham reports for The Telegraph, Aug. 27, 2016, that in a gym in Ascoli Piceno, Italy, are 34 caskets side by side.
Beside one casket sits a small blond cocker spaniel sits, devoted to the end, unable to leave his master even in death.
Little is known of the dog’s master except that he came from Accumoli, one of the communities that bore the brunt of Wednesday’s devastating quake that rocked central Italy, which took the lives of at least 281 people and left thousands homeless. The quake was so strong that the town of Accumoli sank by nearly 8 inches (20 cm), according to Italy’s geological institute.
The dog’s master and the 33 other caskets are buried today — declared by the Italian government as a day of national mourning.
Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has declared a state of emergency and authorized 50 million euros for immediate quake relief.

Drinking a few extra glasses of water a day could cut the risk of urinary tract infections for women plagued with recurrent episodes.
The finding is not really a surprise, doctors have long been telling women to drink more water to prevent or help treat recurring uncomplicated acute cystitis (AUC).
What is new is the ‘stamp of approval’ from the scientific community.
Commenting on the results of the study, lead researcher Dr Thomas Hooton from of the University of Miami, School of Medicine noted that the simple solution of drinking water made sense because the conventional wisdom is that disease-causing bacteria make their way from the vagina up the urethra to the bladder. Frequent flushing with urine can prevent the bacteria from sticking to bladder cells, growing, and causing disease.
What’s been missing, he says is some testing of that conventional wisdom.
To do that he and his colleagues enrolled 140 premenopausal women whose self-reported fluid intake was low – less than 1.5 litres (L) of total fluid a day – and who had had at least three episodes of AUC in the previous year.
A simple solution
» Conventional wisdom suggests that drinking more water each day can prevent recurrent cystitis by keeping bacteria from ‘sticking’ to the bladder wall.
» A new trial in the US has shown that this wisdom is correct.
» Women who previously drunk too little water found they could cut recurring cystitis episodes by more than half by upping their water intake by 1.5 litres daily.
The women were randomly assigned to either increase their water intake by 1.5 L a day or to make no change in their habits. Women in the intervention group were given 500 mL bottles of water and urged to begin drinking one at the start of each meal and to finish it before the next meal.
Follow up with the participants over a year included monthly telephone calls and regular clinic visits where there urine was tested.
Over the study period, results showed that the 70 women encouraged to drink more water:
Fewer infections, fewer antibiotics
But the key finding, was that the average number of recurrent AUC episodes in the water group over the year was 1.6, compared with 3.1 among the control women – a more than 50% decline.
The women in the water group also took significantly less medication.
“If a woman has recurrent UTIs and is looking for a way to reduce her risk, the evidence suggests that if she increases the amount of water she drinks and stays with it, she’ll likely benefit,” Dr. Hooton said.
The findings are important because many women suffer recurrent AUC and most are treated with antibiotics – confirming a common sense solution in this way could be a game changer in terms of preventing recurring infections and an important way to help reduce antibiotics use.

My greatest achievements here so far have been elevating Haile Selassie I to the status of Almighty God, and saving Javier Solana from being cast in the role of the Devil. I fully support Wikipedia's NPOV policy. To see an example of an unencyclopedic POV pushing article that tends to repeat itself look here and here. I am a deletionist, not only of unnecessary articles but of unnecessary verbiage within articles. I believe we must try and say everything as concisely as possible without repeating ourselves and avoiding repetition so we don't just repeat ourselves. When a page is particularly high profile, either because it's linked off the main page, or because it's recently receieved a prominent link from offsite, it will often become a target for vandalism. It is best not to protect pages in this case. Instead consider adding them to your watchlist, and reverting vandalism yourself. If you lock a page dominating the news I will be there trying to unlock it, as I did to great effect with John Paul II and Benedict XVI. I am also very happy to see Lincoln Thompson and Roberto Weiss here, 2 important influences from way back. Weiss was described as "not one of those academics who waffles". I am currently working with Central American politics, as I live in La Ceiba in Honduras with my partner, child and servant. I come from England. I am 42.

Boddhi was born on August 25 1994 in Totnes and died on November 13 2003 in Puerto San Josť after a short illness while we travelled in Guatemala. He is sorely missed. We had earlier uprooted from house and home to travel in Spain, but also back and forth between there and England (3 times). We lived in an estate car, and he really loved our nomadic lifestyle. He was the most incredibly well trained and bright dog. Our favourite shared activity was cycling up to 30 miles along the pavements of busy roads in England. Those who choose to vandalise this page cannot harm either him or my memories of him. They are just so green with envy, knowing that they will never have such a beautiful and intelligent dog, and they can't help themselves. Shakti, a great friend of Boddhi, lived with me for 8 years but now lives happily near London with my brother and is called Shit Cat. Squeak and Box are my new dogs.

Tell her that you’re ‘looking’ for a good girl like her, when you start sharing virtually any details, you’d like to get to know her better initially. She’ll enjoy this and think you have some legitimate feelings on her.
The other tip you should be using should be to actually have a conversation dating with her by flirting with her first. european mail order brides This is probably the most important internet dating tips for males because ıt is going to trigger an all-natural response coming from her – and you’ll get acquainted with each other better. The conversation the two of you are having should be as natural as is possible, with no added pressure. She’ll like talking to you and will start to keep in mind you after the first time.
One of the most popular online dating services tips for guys these days should be to make sure you own a good, very clear and concise tinder bio. If you are chatting with the girl, make sure you tell her about your initial name, where you grew up, what you like to do when you’re not working and what you’re currently performing. A great tinder bio needs to be around two to 3 sentences long and should never try to be too long either. Write your bio with confidence and don’t sound like you will absolutely faking that. If your lady asks you about your biography in the initial messages, then you certainly had better be believable or she is going to stop having interested in you.
Another of the best on line tips for males that goes along with a good tinder account is to make sure you have a great swipe document.

damp, the severity of the Golden Gate Bridge on a February night a sharp contrast to the beaches a few miles south.
He peered over the railing.
Black. Foghorns, buoys clanging.
Through the mist off the southern end, the skyline. Eerie, blurred through the fog, he could still make out the steel columns of the pyramid, and the steep street of Divisadero. The lighthouse on Alcatraz glowed on the horizon with a regular beat.
The railing was wet, cold, rough to the touch. Traffic was minimal but consistent, the bridge never slept, late parties, road trippers, occasional limos. The orange towers reached above the fog line casting a yellowish glow over the asphalt below. He snuck behind the south tower, putting himself between it and the railing.
It was darker here.
His car was at the south lot, one of only a few at this hour. Cameras were perched everywhere keeping an eye out for breakdowns, foul play…and jumpers.
He would give them no time.
Swinging his left leg up over the railing…

Before updating, make sure you read the change logs and are aware of potential backward compatibility issues.
Migrating to v1.3 from v1.2.x
Most likely, the migration will not be straight-forward, due to the multiple modifications that were brought to this version. Do not install the update on a production site. Your personal files will not be removed and, as long as you created your own theme files, all your styles will be safe. Core template files will be updated, deprecated files will be removed.
Before updating the template, create a copy of the template's directory (
templates/sywbareresponsive), this will help you pinpoint the differences once the new version is installed.

In this lesson you’ll learn an easy method how to make a reverse bass in FL Studio with FL Studio stock plugins ONLY. A reverse bass is a very typical sound in early hardstyle. To create that early hardstyle reverse bass feeling, I’m using 3x Osc and some fruity mixer effects.
Reverse bass methods
The method of making a reverse bass in this video is just one of many, but it’s an easy one. With this approach you’re very flexible in your design. However, depending on what you’re looking for, you should also explore other methods.
To show you the flexibility and the way such a reverse bass comes to be, I’ll play a bit with the equalizers and filter settings. This is just to show that it’s very easy to manipulate the sound.
How to make a reverse bass with this method
To make an early hardstyle reverse bass with a synthesizer, make sure you route it to the mixer. On the mixer you can add effects to shape the sound.
What’s mostly important here is the combination of equalizing and distorting. With the equalizer you typically want to add a good amount of mid frequencies in the beginning of your effects chain. With the distortion you want to clip the signal to get the aggression/power.
Later in the effects chain, you typically use your equalizer and distortion more gently. Then you’re mostly using them to balance the signal, both in the frequency spectrum and waveform spectrum.
Optionally, you can always add some reverb somewhere in your chain. This gives a sense of space to your sound.
Reverse bass synthesizer
You can also get a certain effect on the synthesizer itself, in this example the 3x Osc. On the 3x Osc, I’ve used a waveform with a good amount of harmonics. This already gives more character to the bass.
Furthermore, I enabled the filter. With the filter you can also create a peak in the mid frequencies. You’re very flexible this way.
Now it’s your turn. Just use this lesson as an idea how to go about making reverse basses. I’m sure you can do much better than the early hardstyle reverse bass this video!
In this lesson, the following FL Studio plugins were used:
- 3x Osc
- Fruity Parametric EQ 2
- Fruity Waveshaper
- Fruity Reeverb 2

BanglaHunt Desk: Corona has already taken on a paradigm shift around the world. The number of corona patients is increasing by leaps and bounds every day. Death procession is increasing with the scale. Doctors at WhatsApp University are discovering one tip after another every day Needless to say, it does not reduce corona infection but increases the risk of other diseases. But this time around, a group of researchers in France say that smokers are less likely to be infected with corona than others.
According to a French study, the number of patients infected with corona is much lower than that of normal patients. Cigarette tobacco contains nicotine, which may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease in smokers.
It is also learned that research on this subject will start very soon. Researchers are already preparing to study the effects of nicotine in people with coronary heart disease. The country's health ministry has not yet issued a clearance.
Earlier, researchers in China reported that only 12.7 percent of corona patients per 1,000 were smokers, compared to about 28 percent of the population. Researchers in France also found that only 4.75 percent of the 470 patients were daily smokers. They also claimed to have a better recovery rate from coronary heart disease.
In addition, alcohol increases the risk of various communicable and non-communicable diseases. It makes people more vulnerable. This lowers immunity and easily increases the chances of multiple viruses and bacteria attacking the corona.

Happy overall. Would definitely recommend!!
I got 2 pairs of glasses. The Elsie teen and the Maddie teen. They are both beautiful frames. They came in the mail quickly. The prices are not too expensive. I like them both. The Elsie feels a little loose and needs to be adjusted but the Maddie fits perfectly. Hopefully I can get the Elsie adjusted soon.
Great experience and easy. Glasses are super cute and if you’re an adult who is small like me ( 5’1”) they fit great

Being that one of the largest and most prestigious Irish Dance competitions is to be held in Chicago next week (the 2012 North American Irish Dance Championships), it seems a fitting time to learn a bit more about what Irish dance is, where it originates, and what its impact has been on Chicago culture.
Irish dance in general, refers to a group of traditional dance forms originating in Ireland in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Irish dance is characterized by rapid leg and foot movements, a straight posture with pulled back shoulders, and arms held stationary at the dancers’ side. This technique is thought to have originated as a result of a ban on dancing by the oppressive ruling classes of 18th-19th century England due to its scornful nature. It is said that soldiers patrolling the streets of Ireland were known to turn-in people for dancing in their houses, so they developed a way of dancing only with their feet so as to stay unnoticed. Dancing was such an important part of Irish culture that this practice was carried over into the schools; where sightings of schoolgirls dancing with their legs under their desks to keep from being noticed were common. These practices allowed for the dancing cultural tradition to carry on without the chance of persecution for disobeying the law.
Irish dance is also characterized by its shoes; its dancers performing in both hard shoes and soft shoes (“ghillies”). Hard shoes are similar to tap shoes, and were originally made of wood, although today they are made of fiberglass. Soft shoes are black lace-up shoes only worn by girls. The equivalent shoes for boys are called “reel shoes” and resemble black jazz shoes with a hard heel.
Irish dance was brought to its American fame in 1996 with the national premier of River Dance at Radio City Music Hall. This performance returned Chicago native and Riverdance creator, Michael Flatley back to the states. Chicago is home to a number of past and present Irish Dancing World Champions. One of these champions is Tim O’Hare who teaches over 600 students at his schools in Northwest Chicago, Lake Bluff, and Des Plaines. His teaching continues the legacy of exceptionally talented Chicago Irish dancers; his students have won Midwest, National, All-Ireland, and World Championships, been invited to the White House for St. Patrick’s Day, and have danced in the popular Irish Dance stage shows, Riverdance and Lord of the Dance.
The Chicago area is now home to more Irish dance schools than anywhere else in the Midwest. There are approximately 60 Irish dance schools in the Midwest – and 20 of them are located in the Chicago area!

For an investment that benefits your health in the long and short term and may actually save your life, look no further than health insurance. Be sure you ask pertinent questions and do research before purchasing health insurance. The tips in the article below are a sure way to start you on your way to purchasing the right health insurance coverage for you.
When you have to pick your health insurance, know exactly what your choices will cover. If your medical coverage works for these sorts of events, you may end up with less money to pay for your time out of work.
When you think about registering for medical coverage through your employer, keep in mind your personal health status and that of your immediate family. If you are not dealing with any health issues, you may be tempted to buy insurance that has a cheaper premium. Although the premiums are lower, you may be at risk if problems arise.
Take advantage of an employee wellness program, if offered, and save money on health insurance. A lot of employers offer incentives for employees for having their lifestyles and health assessed. You may be able to join a fitness program afterwards, which will help the company to save money on their insurance coverage, and that in turn would lower your own premium.
If you can’t afford comprehensive insurance, then at least get catastrophic coverage. Comprehensive coverage will give you prescriptions and doctors visits, but catastrophic will cover more expensive medical bills from hospital stays or emergency room visits.
Don’t expect your health care policy to be straightforward. Learn all the exceptions in your policy so that your insurance company won’t deny you benefits you thought you were entitled to based on a loophole. You need to thoroughly read your policy, so that you understand what it says and are not caught off guard if they say they will not cover something. Put money aside each month so that you always have funds available to pay for medical procedures that are not covered by your insurance.
Check your insurance coverage periodically to determine which medicines are paid for by your plan, and which ones are not. This list will be different every year or so, so make sure you check it when you enroll again to avoid a surprise at the pharmacy when filling your medication.
Group plans are ultimately cheaper over time, and this is the reason why insurance rates are cheaper with an employer than for those who provide their own insurance. The best way to get cheaper insurance for yourself is to find a trade organization to join that offers health insurance to its members.
Pay very close attention to each aspect of your bill. Even when having a plan related to health insurance, you could be in for a shock with some bills you weren’t expecting, such as the high cost of some medications. A lot of physicians just scribble out prescriptions for branded pills without thinking about generic substitutes. It is a good idea to compare prices at many locations. Some generic medications cost less at different pharmacies.
Whenever you are looking into catastrophic health insurance as a coverage option, you must be sure to do your homework. It needs to cover relevant types of catastrophic events. Once you’ve figured it out, create an account to make deposits to where you save for your health.
It is crucial to ask plenty of questions about any health insurance plan that you are thinking of buying. The more you know about health insurance, the better prepared you will be to find the policy that is best for you and your family. Arm yourself with the tips found above and you are sure to make the right decisions when it comes to health insurance.

Teacher Tales - Spotlight on 6th Grade
Last week, the 6th graders welcomed guest speaker Mrs. Herbert, to their classroom. Mrs. Herbert is a learning style expert and a SJCS parent who has worked with several grade levels on campus. She spoke with us about the Unthinkables- traits that we all have that work against us in our learning and relationships (examples include Brain Eater that distracts the students, Worry Wall works to cause worry, and Energy Hare-y gives students too much energy).
The students were challenged to consider Unthinkables that they might have, and teachers shared their own. We then brainstormed ways to defeat our Unthinkables. The students had great ideas and have been challenged to work to defeat their Unthinkables in the coming weeks. While the Unthinkables are important to recognize in our lives, it also helps us understand that we all struggle with di erent things. It also gives students an opportunity to grow in empathy by a rming and encouraging one another. We are working to recognize that God has created us uniquely, and we are practicing seeing God’s workmanship in each other.

Richard Russell, who has published the Dow Theory Letters for over 50 years, recently made a rather chilling statement: “By the end of 2010 you won’t recognize the United States.” He has also told his clients to get out of the stock market completely and sit on the sidelines with cash in hand. When asked in a recent interview about holding gold as opposed to cash, Russell stated, “Gold is the ultimate cash.” And gold you will certainly need in order to financially survive the horribly frightening days ahead as the powers-that-be plan another false flag event and throw us headlong into the Amero.
To come to a more complete understanding of Russell’s shocking statement about the United States and the possible false flag event coming soon, we need to take a look at a little known event, the March 13, 2008, closed-door session of the House of Congress. It was only the fourth time in our history as a nation such a session was held. The proposed agenda for the meeting was to discuss “New Surveillance Provisions,” but that was just a ruse. The fact that there was a March 13, 2008, closed-door session of the House of Congress is an established fact. The real agenda, according to information leaked after the meeting to alternative media, were these issues:
1. The imminent collapse of the US economy by September, 2008
2. The imminent collapse of the federal government finances by February, 2009
3. The possibility of Civil War as a result of the collapses
4. The advance round-ups of dissidents and insurgents into concentration camps
5. The flight of government officials into “safe facilities” (US underground cities)
6. The formation of the North American Union (NAU): the uniting of Mexico, the United States, and Canada into one union
7. The issuance of the new currency, the Amero, of the NAU, to replace the dollar
Even though there is no way to prove that these were the issues discussed at that meeting, all we need to do is look at the chronology of events since then. The government’s intent is obvious: tip off their own people of what is coming, and provide a way of escape for them when the riots and destruction comes, and leave the rest of us in the dark to be blind sided and destroyed.
The first issue discussed was the imminent collapse of the U. S. economy by September, 2008. That happened just as they predicted. At the beginning of September, 2008, the 5.6 trillion dollar government mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac folded, and we now have no economy left. The second issue was the collapse of the U. S. banking system by February, 2009. That obviously didn’t happen because the government and Wall Street bailed out the too big to fail banks. The fact that most of the 8,000 banks in this country are insolvent now is also an established fact. The official crash of the banking system will be coming soon.
When the banks finally collapse, riots and civil war will erupt, martial law will be put in place, rioters will be hauled off to concentration camps, the government officials and the banksters will escape into their two-mile underneath the ground cities, while the rest of us will be trapped up here on the surface trying to deal with the bloodshed.
So what’s ahead? As a little background for those who have not been following my writings or listening to my radio shows, I will try to highlight some events for you. For about the last two years I have been talking to a man from the west coast who is a part of the global elite. He is a corporate pilot who flies some of these elite around from time to time, and he also sits in on most of their meetings and is privy to their plans.
About a year and a half ago he told me that the government was planning to declare a banking holiday in December, 2009. At that time they were planning to devalue the dollar by 50%. Logistically, they were planning to accomplish that devaluation simply by raising retail prices on goods, products and services by 100% the day following the banking holiday. In simple terms, whatever would cost one dollar one day would cost two dollars the next day.
By February, 2010, when that devaluation didn’t happen, I called the man back and asked him why it didn’t happen. He explained to me that their plan hadn’t changed, but as he put it, “The slaves are still asleep,” meaning that the public hadn’t figured out yet what the government was doing to them. Then, on February 25th, 2010, I heard an Alex Jones’ interview with Lindsey Williams, a Baptist minister who had been in Alaska in the early 70s with the global elite as they were drilling for oil there. At the time they found the largest oil reserves in the world in Alaska, enough to supply the United States for over 200 years. They basically capped the wells, not wanting to flood the market with cheap oil and destroy their own mega profits.
Since then Williams has been in contact with one of these men who is now 87 years old and in failing health. One of the things that this man told Williams was that in 2010, the global elite, through our government, plans to go into everyone’s bank accounts and investments and take 50% of whatever is there. And don’t forget, it is pretty simple for the government to take your money in the stock market because your money is in the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) money pool and the Fed legally owns it. Unlike the dollar devaluation that the other man was talking about, they would just take 50% of what you have there and accomplish the same purpose much more simply.
About a week ago, June 13, 2010, I called the man from the west coast and asked him what he knew was coming from here on in. He told me that the powers that be were planning another false flag attack like 9-1-1, and the target date was July 8, 2010. He said that the July 8thdate was not set in stone, that it could be any time this summer. He said it would be equal to or greater than 9-1-1 and would kill thousands of Americans. He also said that they would use the event as an excuse to collapse a huge number of banks, and those banks would never open again. This event would also set the stage for the collapse of the dollar and the switch over to the Amero in November of this year.
I asked him many detailed questions about the switch over from the dollar to the Amero. He told me that the government would require people to exchange actual cash for Ameros. I told him that would be impossible as there is very little cash in people’s hands these days, and the banks don’t hold much cash either. He said that that was just the point. They want to make the switch over in currencies as difficult as possible. Their intent is to decimate the public financially not help them. If you think about it, if the government wanted to be human all they would have to do is just change the words from dollar to the Amero in bank accounts and investments, and it would be a smooth process.
Not so. These New World Order people (I call them demons in human bodies) want to eliminate 85% of us “worthless eaters,” anyway, and how better than to collapse the currency and prevent us from switching over to the new one. The man also told me that the exchange rate from the dollar to the Amero would start out at one on one at first, but that wouldn’t last long. Then it would go to two to one, five to one, ten to one, and so on. The longer you wait to get your cash to the window the less Ameros you will get.
Obviously, when the panic for cash starts, there will be massive runs on the banks and on Wall Street as people in desperation try to liquidate their investments. And, of course, the knee jerk reaction of the government will be to close financial doors as they can’t possibly supply the cash the public wants and demands. The knee jerk reaction of the public at the financial institution closures will be rioting, followed by the government’s intervention with the police and military establishing martial law.
I will say that there is no way that I can verify this information I have learned from this man over the past two years. However, he is not the only one saying these things. The inside information that Lindsey Williams has been privy to from the elderly gentleman he met in Alaska has certainly proved right on over the last several years. And you have many other people saying basically the same things, Gerald Celente, Peter Schiff, Richard Russell, just to mention a few. These are not idle remarks from quacks. But these events have been lining up for quite a while. Two other things are also important in the formula for the coming chaos, the recent US Northcom drill in the Gulf and the President of Mexico visiting Obama and the Canadian Prime Minister over the past month to solidify relations among the three countries.
As I mentioned, and not coincidentally, according to an article entitled “US Northcom Gears Up for Potential Attack on U.S. Soil,” authored by Shepard Ambellas, on May 16 – 23, 2010, US Northcom performed an Operational Readiness Inspection (ORI) in the Gulf area using three US Air Force units. One was the Kentucky Air National Guard’s 123rdAirlift Wing unit which was the lead organization for the ORI. The second unit was the 317thAirlift Group from Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, which provided active security forces. The third was the 70thAerial Port Squadron from Homestead Air Reserve Base, Florida, which contributed Air Force Reserve members and equipment.
According to the article, Colonel Greg Nelson, the commander of the Kentucky unit said, “This inspection (drill) marked the first time that any Air Force unit has been wartime validated in support of the security and defense of the United States of America. That’s huge.” Colonel Dan Dagher with the Texas unit stated “that the very survival of thousands of Americans rests on our now-tested ability to immediately respond and perform mass-casualty medical evacuations after a chemical attack.” In addition, thousands of UN vans are currently sitting on the runways on a Florida Air Force base, ready for mobilization when the time comes.
It is also not a coincidence that US Northcom held the ORI in the Gulf area as the BP oil gusher is now out of control. And from what real scientists and BP insiders have indicated, the well cannot be capped. The pressure from the well hole is between 20,000 and 70,000 pounds per square inch, according to Lindsey Williams who talked to two BP insiders. The real danger is not the oil coming out of the well but the huge volume of lethal biotic gases. It is only a matter of time before those biotic gases erupt through the surface, potentially killing thousands or millions of people along the coast.
There is currently a huge media block on information coming from the Gulf, all conveniently lending itself to the creation of a false flag event. As Rahm Emmanuel once said, “Never let a good crises go to waste.” I could envision a few planes flying over some big cities along the Gulf coast, dropping anthrax or some another lethal chemical out the window and killing thousands, and then the Air Force would have to perform their mass evacuations and deal with mass casualties. All we have to do then is find another country to blame it on and we will have the justification we need to bomb another country that had nothing to do with the carnage. Isn’t it great to live in America?
As far as the North American Union is concerned, (combining Mexico, the United States and Canada), also not coincidentally, the president of Mexico, Felipe Calederon, visited President Obama about a month ago to discuss further ties. After Calederon’s meeting with Obama, he flew to Canada where he met with Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper to discuss further ties among the three countries.
My opinion about the North American Union and the currency change is that they won’t be able to switch over from the dollar to the Amero and form the new Union. Why? A new currency won’t solve anything, especially if Americans can’t get cash to exchange for Ameros. In fact, when they see the trick the government is pulling on them demanding they bring cash, and they can’t get the cash, they will riot. In contrast however, in 1999, when Europe switched over to the Euro, every country took a hit on their individual country’s currency to do the switch over, but because the economic times were good in Europe and the governments cooperated, it all worked. That is not the intent here, to make it work. On the contrary . . .
The United States is in the midst of a severe depression with massive unemployment, foreclosures, bankruptcies, 40 million on food stamps, and we’re not even close to hitting the bottom. In my opinion, what I see coming is the total collapse of the dollar, and then the United States, without a currency, is ushered right into the cashless society and the mark of the beast. Sounds apocalyptic. I hope I am wrong.
But there is still hope for individuals if you do something about it while you can. In one of my last articles I talked about getting out of the financial glue trap. Here are a few suggestions of what to do to accomplish that. Get at least six month’s or a year’s worth of food for you and your family. Take all of your electronic money out of the bank and liquidate your investments in the markets. At this juncture in time you can’t worry about the penalties or tax consequences, (which aren’t due until April, 2011), from liquidating your IRAs or other investments. Just get everything out and in your hand as soon as possible. To preserve your wealth buy gold and silver coins and get on the side lines. Remember, the age old adage has always been true: Possession is 9/10s of the law: If you don’t have it in your hand in tangible form, you don’t own it, and it’s not yours.
In addition to food, gold and silver, have a cash cushion for the possible switch over to the Amero or for emergencies. If you live in a big city, plan to get out into the country where it will be safer, and you will have a better chance to survive. If you are looking for information on how to buy gold and silver you can call me at 414-234-8267 or go to my website www.goldandsilverexchange.infofor more information. To preserve your wealth the 5,000 year old way, remember what the old sage, Richard Russell had to say, “Gold is the ultimate cash.” The time is short.

Can a piece of physical art be a security?
You can also download this article in PDF format here.
If yes, then what about NFTs?
These questions may seem like a modern-day dilemma, prompted by the recent explosion of NFT art sales, but this topic has been debated by legal scholars for the past several decades. However, the rise of tokenized digital art, known as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), pushed it back into the forefront.
In her 1981 article published in Fordham’s Urban Law Journal, the late attorney and law professor Maureen Holm offered tremendous insight when she broke down the arguments about aesthetics. In her scholarly article entitled “The Art Investment Contract: Application of Securities Law to Art Purchases”, Holm uses numerous examples of legal precedent and responses from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Her legal opinions related to installment sales, resale, and the repurchase of artwork, make the article just as pertinent to discussions about today’s NFT marketplace as any legal argument before the agency today.
Why is this topic so important?
Sales of NFTs this year have already exceeded $2.5 billion. Based on past experience, we know that wherever financial innovation goes, the SEC is bound to follow.
Many participants in the DeFi space liken NFT investing to art collecting and balk at the concept of regulating it like a security, but just as Holm’s article did 40 years ago, legitimate questions can be raised about the intentions of NFT buyers.
Some examples include:
- When reviewing the SEC’s investor protection rules, it seems clear that selling digital shares of artwork (in this case known as fractional non-fungible tokens, or f-NFTs), amounts to trading in securities. These include the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, The Securities Act of 1933, and the Howey Test, which determines whether a transaction should be considered an “investment contract” [U.S. Supreme Court in SEC v. W.J. Howey Co, 1946]. According to Howey, this occurs when an investor invests money “in a common enterprise and is led to expect profits solely from the efforts of the promoter or a third party.”
- The NFT marketplace also makes use of secondary markets for resale in order to promote the appreciative value of these investments to the broader online community – another characteristic that casts doubt on the notion that NFT buyers are buying these digital tokens for their aesthetic value. For the sake of comparison, SEC issued a no action letter to Pocketful of Quarters, pertaining to a blockchain game, explicitly stating that tokens could only be used within the game provided that no secondary market existed for speculation on such tokens. The same logic could be applied to the NFT marketplace.
- According to Investment Clubs and the SEC (SEC.gov), investment clubs must register with the SEC as an investment company under certain conditions, according to the Investment Company Act of 1940. The recent proliferation of online communities that promote the sale of NFTs and f-NFTs would not be excluded, particularly if they make or propose to make a public offering of securities, or have 100+ members. Accordingly, a public web site that suggests it is seeking new members may also be considered a public offering.
When reviewed from a legal perspective, the sale of digital artwork and fractional shares of digital art as investment instruments with the intent of trading them for profit is no different than a public company offering shares of stock. It would follow that the platforms selling NFT art would need to comply with securities laws in much the same way as brokerages, including registration of securities before they are offered for sale, antifraud provisions, and the registration of advisors and traders
Of course it’s possible for NFT not to be a security, but what if the government deems it a security after the purchase and before it is registered with the SEC? Investors should be careful here, because if an investor buys an NFT that is not registered as a security, it becomes illegal to resell it.
The “Canyon” Comparison
A 1959 painting by American pop artist Robert Rauschenberg included a bald eagle affixed to the canvas. “Canyon” was later inherited by a relative, making it subject to estate tax, but the family did not have sufficient financial resources to pay the tax. The only way to raise this money was to sell the painting, which was valued at $65 million, and the taxes were estimated at $29.4 million. However, the 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the 1940 Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act prohibited the sale of the painting because it is illegal to sell a bald eagle in any form – dead or alive – in the United States. As a result, the family’s only option was to donate the piece to the Museum of Modern Art.
Beyond the SEC’s regulation of investment contracts and the companies that sell them, other considerations include federal and state anti-money laundering regulations. The Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (AMLA) significantly expands the U.S. government’s authority to implement rules surrounding AML, including new regulations pertaining to decentralized finance.
It is also unlikely that the SEC would accept the “I didn’t know” excuse when it cracks down on NFTs. Most of these investors are young (25-35), educated, many have financial backgrounds and a taste for speculative investing. Not only can they afford to pay for legal consultation; they understand the importance of careful review and due diligence before investing.
Based on Maureen Holm’s scholarly article (“The Art Investment Contract: Application of Securities Law to Art Purchases”), as well as more recent SEC regulations, the following conclusions can be drawn from trends related to art transactions and investment contracts:
- The reach of the securities law has become exponentially broader through the SEC’s investor protection policies.
- Generally, the courts have sided with the reasoning behind the Howey test, which says the nature of an investment property is irrelevant if the substance of an investment contract exists.
- A pervasive belief that artwork is only exchanged in the context of reverential appreciation for the intrinsic aesthetic may have delayed the regulation of the art market.
- Still, art remains an investment vehicle, which is often traded briskly by businesses in a broad-based marketplace.
- As the legal community recognizes how the substance of an art transaction makes it an investment contract or other form of security, the same investor protections should be in place.
While NFTs and f-NFTs appear to be niche products for digital art enthusiasts, they may not remain that way for long. It is important to think through the possible approach regulators might take in the future and act accordingly. Considering the facts presented above, it is reasonable to assume that the SEC will eventually regulate NFT art as securities.

I recently went to Malaysia for vacation and thought of sharing my experience here, like my other trips so that it would be helpful for those who are planning for a similar trip.
April 20th (Day 0)
Took flight at 6:00 PM (IST) and reached Kuala Lumpur at 00:30 AM (MST) the next day.
April 21st (Day 1)
Sight seeing in Kuala Lumpur. Saw Petronas Twin towers and KL tower.
Went for a trek and ATV driving in the nearby forests. (Would be writing more about it as a separate blog post)
Took the train to Arau in the night
April 22nd (Day 2)
Arrived at Arau and went to Kuala Perlis to board the ferry to Langawi.
After reaching Langawi, hired a rental car to go around the island.
Water sports at the beaches of Langawi. (More about it in a separate blog post)
Spent the entire day at beach
April 23rd (Day 3)
Went for Island hopping.
Shopping at Langawi and it was duty free 😉
Boarded a ferry back to main land. And then boarded a bus back to Kuala Lumpur.
April 24th (Day 4)
Some more shopping in Kuala Lumpur.
Tried various cuisine’s.
April 25th (Day 5)
Went to Batu Caves
Packed up stuff and went to Airport.
Boarded flight from Kuala Lumpur, back to Chennai.
Till last year, it seems that you can get an on-arrival visa for Malaysia. But now they have cancelled that for India and you have to get a visa before you travel.
I got my visa through Thomas Cook and it took me around 4-5 business days and the fees was Rs. 1300
You would need the following documents as well
- Your Passport
- Copy of Address proof
- Copy of your tickets
- Leave letter (if you are working somewhere)
- A covering letter
When you are applying for the visa, mention that you want multiple entry visa and generally you will get a multiple entry visa, which would be useful if you are planning to visit other South East Asia countries as well
The official currency of Malaysia is Ringgit. So you would need to get them before you travel.
In Malaysia most of the hotels don’t accept credit cards and you might have to pay by cash. So it is better to carry cash with you.
If possible try to avoid getting your money exchanged in Thomas Cook. They were quite costly. Try to get it from some small but authorized money exchanges or banks. You might get some good exchange rates. Also try to avoid getting money exchanged at Airport. They were extremely costly and were nearly 40-50% higher.
An alternative is to use your international debit card in the ATM there to get cash. My ICICI bank debit card worked there and the exchange rate was also good. But it seems that Malaysia comes under a list of countries where card tampering happens and after coming back to India I got a call from ICICI customer care and they replaced my debit card. The same thing happened with my credit card as well. So if possible don’t use your primary card there.
To exchange money you would need the following documents
- Your passport with visa
- Your tickets
Also don’t forget to keep the receipt given by the money exchanger with you. Sometimes you might need it, especially in customs.
I booked my tickets though AirAsia and they turned out to be extremely cheap. They also have a couple of offers for other South East Asian countries as well. Check their rates before you book your tickets with other airlines.
Also for return tickets make sure you buy some extra baggage as well. Believe me, Malaysia is a great place for shopping and you might end up with lot of bags. In fact, I ended up buying separate bags to get back the stuff which I bought there 😉
It takes about 3.5 – 4 hours by flight to reach Malaysia from Chennai.
I went during the month of April and it was extremely sunny. So those of you who are worried about your skin, don’t forget to carry Sun screen creams 🙂
While talking with the local people I came to know that the climate is same pretty much the entire year. So you may not need winter clothes while travelling to Malaysia.
Malaysia follows MST time zone, which is UTC + 8 hours. So when you compare it with India, they are 2.5 hours ahead.
If it is 2 PM in India, it would be 4:30 PM in Malaysia.
Over the next couple of days, I would continue to write about my experiences so stay tuned 🙂

The Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic minority group in Arakan State, Burma, are among the most vulnerable and persecuted populations across the globe. Despite their significant historical presence in the country, the Government of Burma does not recognise the Rohingya as citizens, thus rendering the population stateless. Many observers argue that the root cause of the crisis is the group’s denial of legal status, suggesting that granting them citizenship would offer a lasting solution. While the possession of legal status is fundamental to an inclusive notion of citizenship, consideration of other non-formal dimensions of citizenship are just as necessary in expanding the boundaries of inclusion. Drawing on the case of the Rohingya, I will conduct a genealogy of exclusion to illustrate that their status is not merely a product of lacking citizenship, but rather embedded in more elaborate processes of nation building, ethno-political identification, and religious intolerance. This paper challenges the centrality of the concept of legal citizenship through an interrogation of the Rohingya’s exclusion from historical narratives, their ambiguous status, and their current socioeconomic insecurity in an attempt to move the conversation beyond their statelessness and lack of formal status to understand the true nature of their exclusion.

Jewish World Review July 31, 2001 / 11 Menachem-Av, 5761
Frank J. Gaffney, Jr.
http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- PRESIDENT BUSH campaigned for his present job on a platform that promised to end inappropriate overseas deployments of U.S. personnel. He expressed concern that such endeavors represented unwarranted drains on national resources and unjustifiably put Americans in harm's way, especially since it was not clear their presence was actually contributing to a real peace in the region.
At the time, of course, he was talking about the Balkans. During his recent visit to Kosovo, though, he declared that the United States "went in together [with our allies] and will come out together." As a result, Americans are likely to be in Kosovo, Bosnia and perhaps Macedonia for the duration of this presidency -- and probably much longer.
Unfortunately, the Balkan tar-baby the United States has squarely embraced will appear the ultimate no-stick teflon operation compared to a new assignment President Bush is contemplating in the Middle East. According to last Friday's Washington Post, "the Bush Administration plans to dispatch about 10 monitors drawn largely from the State Department to assess the adherence of Israelis and Palestinians to steps proposed to restrain Middle East violence and advance peace talks."
To be sure, as this article indicates, the "monitors" would not be armed U.S. military personnel. Instead, they will be Foggy Bottom types, apparently augmented by CIA agents. And who can object to so small a number as ten of these observers?
The trouble is that this is a bad idea, period. That underlying reality is not mitigated by either the fact that the monitors are defenseless (at least initially) or the fact that they are too few to have any chance of effectively monitoring the Palestinian-Israeli conflicts now routinely erupting in many parts of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and even in Israel, itself.
If the Bush Administration goes forward with what the Post calls a "highly circumscribed observer team," it will find itself like the unwed woman who announced she was "a little bit pregnant." The description is technically accurate, but only temporarily so. It is predictable that more people will be needed if we are serious about monitoring all the flashpoints and reporting on all the violence between Arabs and Jews. And how long will it be after one of these unarmed observers is physically threatened or harmed before U.S. military personnel are dispatched to protect them?
Heretofore, the brake on dispatching even a modest U.S. team has been the adamant opposition of the government of Israel. This position was born of hard experience with international monitors in Lebanon, where the latter's presence did nothing to impede attacks by Hezbollah and other Syrian-backed forces on the Jewish State and its personnel. The U.N. observer force did, however, greatly complicate Israel's options and ability to deal with the threats posed by such enemies.
The inherent problem posed by inserting foreign observers into this conflict was recently underscored when the international peacekeeping forces confessed -- after repeated denials -- that they had indeed filmed Hezbollah operatives kidnapping three Israeli soldiers near the Lebanese border. When, at last, the U.N. turned the film over to the Israelis, the images of the kidnappers' faces were obscured, ostensibly in order to protect the monitors from Arab terrorist "reprisals."
Tragically, the Israeli government -- presumably under intense pressure from Secretary of State Colin Powell and other American officials who have embraced a call for international monitors included in a set of recommendations served up in recent weeks by a commission led by former Senator George Mitchell -- has fatally shifted its stance on admitting observers. Last week, Foreign Minister Shimon Peres declared: "We were never against the idea that the CIA [agents in Israel to facilitate security talks between the Palestinians and Israelis] bring other monitors to help their work, but we are against an international force. If it is a question of American monitors, we don't have a problem with that."
Naturally, Israel's willingness to accept American monitors will make it hard -- if not, as a practical matter, impossible -- for members of the Bush Administration and legislators who understand that no good can come of this initiative to oppose it. In the same way, official Israeli support for the serial concessions entailed in the so-called Oslo "peace process" undercut more sensible friends of Israel, both in the United States and elsewhere, and led to the present debacle of an armed Palestinian proto-nation intent on emerging not only as a state in its own right, but eliminating the Jewish one next door.
Unlike the folly of an open-ended U.S. deployment unjustified by any direct American interests, the insertion of our personnel into the midst of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can only serve to jeopardize this country's real and abiding interest in the Middle East: ensuring the continued survival and flourishing of its only reliable and democratic ally, Israel. At the very least, the mere presence of our people on the ground will be a tangible expression of moral equivalence between Arabs initiating the majority of the attacks and Israelis at the receiving end. When (not if) Americans get hurt, even if it is by Palestinians, popular opinion in this country will likely find fault with Israel for needing such monitors in the first place.
It can only be hoped that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will recognize
the danger inherent in taking the first step on this classic slippery slope.
He should revert to Israel's traditional and validated attitude by telling
his friend, George W. Bush, "Thanks, but no thanks" with respect to putting
any foreign monitors, including Americans, into the combustible
Israeli-Palestinian mix. Even if he doesn't, Mr. Bush should come to his
senses before the Arabists in his State Department and the "international
community" embroil him in another, far more problematic mission in the
Middle East than that he inherited in the

Roger Tondeur, MCI: Be wary of group discounts
Many airlines now offer discounts on group business travel. But watch out – there are often other restrictions that make them less attractive.
With some airline alliances, our clients have found the offer conditions less attractive and not always of the best value. Sometimes they don’t benefit our client’s meeting requirements. For example, even though airline discounts are offered, there are restrictions on the class of travel.
Sometimes clients aren’t able to obtain a global deal as each alliance airline member takes the lead in their destination. This means the client must work with the lead airline of wherever the meeting is being held which, at times, makes it difficult to co-ordinate global inbound and outbound travel of the delegates.
MCI’s global link-up with Emirates gets around these problems. The results have been positive and we’re able to provide greater convenience and value for our shared customers.
Roger Tondeur is MCI founder, chairman and president
Olav Glorvigen: Prioritise flights, planners
ICCA research shows that around 30 per cent of money spent on meetings is on travel. And yet, it tends to be the last thing planners and delegates look at.
It should really be upgraded to be part of the thinking from the beginning. This was one of the ideas in the airlines session [at ICCA Congress 2016 in Kuching]. There were many planners who didn’t really know how to do it. They set up the convention, hotels and ground transportation, but people had to get to a destination by themselves. Not because planners didn’t care, but simply because it was not on top of their agenda.
We saw in the discussion, the breakout session, that this is slowly changing. People are realising that airlines and alliances are offering more now than they used to, especially 20 or 30 years ago when airlines acted more as tourist offices, they used to be seen as the representative of their country or city.
As airlines have gone through a transformation, their relationship with the meetings industry has become a more serious business one. It’s really about how we, together, can create business.
Olav Glorvigen is a former Star Alliance executive and is on the ICCA board
Ahmet Olmuştur: Embrace change
It’s no secret that the MICE sector is undergoing constant change – technological advances have even led to some new meeting structures such as hybrid meetings. However, adapting to change and using new advances to the advantage of businesses and meetings is the way to positively and effectively approach the situation.
Being involved in sector events and keeping the dialogue open with our customers is vital. In order to meet and satisfy the needs of the industry partners and customers, our products are consistently updated and modified according to the feedback of our customers – end users and event planners alike.
Ahmet Olmuştur is chief marketing officer for Turkish Airlines

As Americans, we throw away an average of $165 billion in food every year. And about $293 million of that waste will happen during Thanksgiving — and that’s just for turkey alone, according to Market Watch.
In the spirit of giving and being grateful, Reverse Litter wants to encourage all of you to give back and be thankful for Mother Earth by reducing your waste during the Holidays, especially during Thanksgiving. Below are five ways in which you can help reduce waste and Reverse Litter in your home.
1. Plan Before You Shop
Before going grocery shopping, be sure you check your refrigerator and pantry for cutlery, plates, seasonings and other food items you can reuse for your feast and avoid buying duplicate products and ingredients. Carefully planning the quantities you actually need for a Thanksgiving meal is another good way to reduce waste. Sometimes, we tend to go overboard and purchase too many items we won’t use. We also recommend you purchase already-cut vegetables since these can actually eliminate food scraps and waste.
2. DIY Table Decor
For the table, we encourage you to find ways to repurpose items you already have at home or make décor using recyclable materials. For example, you upcycle leaves you’ve raked to add to your napkins for a nice fall touch or reuse a vase and fill it with small pumpkins for a quick centerpiece. Check out this BuzzFeed article for more ideas.
3. During the Feast
Encourage self-service so that individuals can determine how much food they actually want and can come back for more. Also, consider buying a smaller turkey this year or putting smaller portions on the table and adding more as needed. This will avoid uneaten food ending up in the trash bin.
Hosts, please encourage your family members and friends to bring containers to take leftovers home. We also recommend you stay educated on food expiration and shelf life since this can eliminate the chance of food items going stale or expiring and, consequently, ending up in the trash. There are also plenty of ways to use leftovers creatively and effectively – from turkey sandwiches to soups for the whole weekend.
Instead of throwing out the vegetable peels, eggshells and other food scraps from making your meal, consider composting them. Individual composting systems can be relatively easy and inexpensive, and provide quality inputs for garden soils.
Let us know if you try any of these tips at home and be sure to share your picture with us using #ReverseLitter on social media. Happy Thanksgiving!
In the spirit of giving back to our loyal e-newslitter readers, Reverse Litter is launching our NEW video here first, exclusively for our subscribers. Please help us spread the word about our Litter-Free Programs and how we can all do our part in North Texas to help Reverse Litter in all of the communities we serve.

With the Olympic Games set to get underway in another month, it seems that drug dealers in Rio de Janerio are working to capitalize on the “Faster – Higher – Stronger” motto by branding packages of marijuana with the logo specially designed for the Rio 2016 event.
According to a report published earlier this week by the AFP, police recently discovered that marijuana is being distributed in some of the most downtrodden areas of the Brazilian state, labeled with the swirling rendition of the Olympics logo that was designed by the game’s organizing committee.
Law enforcement officers are said to have found a number of packages of the cleverly marketed pot product some time last week in the Nova Holanda district. The force’s leading narcotics agent Felipe Curi told reporters that the herb “had the Olympic Games logo stuck to the packets,” which are believed to be connected to the cartel activity that has ramped up ahead of the games scheduled to begin the first week of August.
Despite the illusion that Rio de Janerio’s police officers are working to crackdown on the illegal drug trade during the first ever Olympic event to take place in South America, some of the latest reports indicate that law enforcement officers across the state have simply thrown their hands up against crime because they claim the Rio state government has not paid them in months. In fact, police are now warning tourists that they will not be protected from the violence that is currently plaguing the area.
“Welcome to Hell,” read the headline of a sign being held by state police officers earlier this week outside Rio’s main airport. “Police and firefighters don’t get paid, whoever comes to Rio de Janeiro will not be safe.”
While it is true that Rio has transformed into a veritable thunderdome over the course of the past few months, it appears the state’s police force is responsible for the majority of the mayhem.
A report from Al Jazeera reveals that nearly 80 children were trapped in a NGO building last week while police scoured the area searching for fugitive drug trafficker Nicolas Labre Pereira. These types of anti-drug operations have reportedly led to more civilian deaths at the hands of police officers than ever before – 40 more people were gunned down in May than in the same month last year, according to the Institute of Public Security.
Amidst the soaring death toll, a judge recently stepped in to suspend all nighttime police searches for the escaped drug lord, who goes by the nickname “Fat Family,” because she believes these operations are a blatant risk to public safety.
“It is unacceptable that the police in the twenty-first century do not find a way to address crime without exposing the law-abiding citizen,” Judge Angelica dos Santos Costa wrote in her decision. “It is often said that during the Olympics, Rio de Janeiro will be safe, however, society needs public security before, during and after that event.”
Although the judge admits that it is necessary to put fugitives like Fat Family back behind bars, she doesn’t believe this should be done at the expense of Rio’s citizens.
“The local population cannot be held hostage by unplanned and hasty operations, much less the police justify them with the flimsy argument of catching criminals. This is not the police that society needs and wants,” she wrote.
An executive order was issued last week allotting $850 million in bailout funds to pay police officers the compensation they are owed. The order was issued after acting Governor Francisco Dornelles expressed concerns that the 2016 Olympics could be an enormous failure without proper security and transportation. However, the funds have yet to be received.
Rio’s mayor Eduardo Paes recently told CNN that crime is “the most serious issue in Rio and the state is doing a terrible, horrible job” at regaining order.
Perhaps it is time for Rio to consider a fully legal cannabis market. A taxed and regulated system could easily diminish drug cartel violence, stimulate the economy, as well as generate millions in tax dollars that could then be used to pay the state’s police force.

I need some goals, now that the year is winding down. Here are a few:
13. Lose the ten pounds (I still insist that this is at least partly high sodium water weight)
Yep....any day now...I'll just piss it all away.
Any day now.
12. Get up at five am on weekdays and do some kind of exercise for at least an hour.
11. 26 minute 5k.
10. 59 minute 10k
9. PR at the San Antonio rock and roll marathon.
Thats it for goals right now.
8. Blind kitten update: at first, her eyes seemed to be stuck shut. Now they are opened, although she still seems to be blind and her actual eyes are kind of dead looking. At first, She refused to eat. Now she is lapping up formula and nibbling at kibble. She went from barely moving to doing a few leaps in the yard and exploring. At I write this she is lying next to me, attacking my arm. We will be takng her to the vet to have her checked out some time this week. She has a crate with a soft towel in it, and under the crate is a heating pad. I move the crate around the house. i do stuff so she can hear me.
7. Update 2: she tested negative for kitty diseases, got her first shot, did you know there are veterinary opthamologists? Me neither. She'll be seeing one soon. By Tuesday, she was eating some solid food and was up to three teasoons of formula every four or five hours.
(It is a truth universal that a large vet bill will occur something in the 2 months before Christmas.)
By Friday, she was eating her way into a coma. I can no longer feel her ribs. She has that round kitten belly, and she's scampering, somersaulting, leaping around, and acting silly. Just like a proper kitteh.
|Those are not my hairy legs.|
And bumps into things. Poor blind kitteh.
6. Monday morning I got up at five, fed Stevie Wonder (that's what I'm calling her right now, because she just moves her poor, blind little face around, following the sound of me walking, moving, and talking.) then I got dressed, got on the treadmill, and ran like hell for about eleven minites. The rest of the day, I had no pain at all in my ankle. None.
5. Announcing. New Mexico's newst ultra: the Mount Taylor 50K Run. Y'all come.
4. A big middle finger to the photographer at the Point Defiance 50K who took my picture limping painfully into the the end of the 2nd loop. And then sent me a notice letting me know, YOUR PICTURES FROM THE DEFIANCE 50K ARE READY!
|Take that, ankle.|
3. I went out and did a hilly three mile run. No pain from ankle. None. After, I wrote the alphabet with. My big toe. The next morning, NO PAIN.
2. I am considering another Ironman. The Outlaws peeps are chompin' at the bit to do another race as a team and after all, we are multisport, not just running.
1. So, here is an observation that I have about Seattle. Actually, it's more of a question. So here it is.
where do you folks keep all your fat people?
Seriously, the whole time I was there I saw maybe four people who I could honestly say were obese. That's a huge change from where I live now. This wasn't just Seattle, I noticed it in Bellingham as well.

Stage 15’s finish is one that will be debated for the ages. The yellow jersey wearer Andy Schleck attacks on the final climb of the day and has a mechanical. Alberto Contador continues the attack and passes. Schleck finally puts his chain back onto the small ring and chases like a mad man on the descent. Unfortunately for Schleck he isn’t able to regain the wheel of Contador and loses the jersey to the Spaniard.
While the battle for yellow was taking place on the slope of the Port de Bales, the very popular French rider Thomas Voeckler took the stage win. BMC’s Alessandro Ballan crossed the line in a photo finish for second place with Aitor Perez in third.
Ballan’s hard working teammate Brent Bookwalter comments exclusively for Carolina Cycling News on his view of today’s stage.
“I’m dang impressed with (Alessandro) Ballan’s performance. Anyone who was up there in that break was seriously motoring today. The first two hours were ridiculous.”
Regarding his own race Bookwalter had some bad luck in the beginning phase of the stage.
“I flatted about 15 km in when it was total chaos with moves going. Coming back from that and flapping at the back for the next 20 km really put a big dent in me for the rest of the day. I’m just getting down to being empty. Maybe it’s the strain of riding two Grand Tours.”
Stage 16 is another day in the Pyrenees and from the start the peloton tackles a category 1 climb followed by another cat. 1 climb and then two hor category mountains. Bookwalter weighs in on tomorrow’s brutal stage.
“Tomorrow’s profile is kinda silly. It’s built more for eliminating riders than for the contenders to do battle.”

Today: Proof that baking without gluten is possible -- and delicious.
For bakers and lovers of baked goods, finding out you have to go gluten-free can kind of feel like this. You deny it and eat a croissant (and subsequently double over in pain), get angry at your friends for suggesting pizza for dinner, bargain with the food gods for a lactose intolerance instead, lay on your couch all day sulking, and finally come to terms with the news. Once you've successfully moved through the five stages of grief, you're free to embark on a new journey in the kitchen: gluten-free baking. Pies, bread, pizza, cookies, and cakes are all still within reach! These links will show you how.
- A primer on gluten-free baking ingredients. (Epicurious.)
- A guide to all things (gluten-free) baking, complete with tips and recipes. (The Kitchn.)
- Watch: The science behind making the perfect gluten-free pizza. (America's Test Kitchen.)

You get what you give. If our representatives are lazy, ignorant, arrogant, and misinformed remember their role as representative. They represent. College kids are almost the lowest caliber of human anyway. They never truly made decisions or sacrificed much. Leadership requires courage and strength. A leader would like for his sacrifice to be at least appreciated.

Can be snow-covered, December through March.
Beaver Creek is a motorcycle trail and has a number of berms, which have been burned in by motorcycles (watch out for bikes of all types).
The last part of the trail is very scenic with aspen groves and some great rock formations. There are a lot of great places to stop and take in the canyon views.
The trail can be loose in the fall and there are some deep water crossings in the spring, but that is part of the fun. That said, be prepared to get your feet a little wet.
There are lots of connecting trails around that can be used to make this run into a loop.

These historic photos come from the Portland Room collection at the Portland Public Library, where the photographic negatives from the Portland Press Herald, Maine Sunday Telegram and Portland Evening Express are currently being archived and catalogued. In Flashback, we’ll periodically share some of our favorites from this collection, which spans from the 1930s to the 1990s. See more at www.pressherald.com/flashback.

How to Choose a CNA Program near Chancellor Alabama
Now that you have decided to enter the medical field as a certified nursing assistant, it’s time to begin the process of finding CNA training classes near Chancellor AL. After you have achieved your certification, you will be starting a rewarding career in one of the most rapidly increasing occupations in medical care within the Country. Though it may well seem like an overwhelming endeavor, it’s important that you choose the ideal course to obtain the appropriate training and education. Many potential students start with the two most essential qualifications, which are the location of the school and the cost of tuition. You may additionally be pondering whether to attend CNA classes on campus, or enroll in an online CNA program and attend them from home. More regarding that option later. But completing your due diligence prior to deciding on a training course entails far more than comparing the cost or location. Such qualifiers as accreditation and the reputation of the school must additionally be taken into consideration. We will be addressing those subjects along with several other questions that you need to be asking before you register in a CNA school. But first, let’s talk a little bit about what a nursing assistant does and the kind of training and credentials that are available.
The Role of a CNA
Certified Nursing Assistants perform many functions in the Chancellor AL hospitals, clinics and other health care organizations where they work. As indicated by their title, CNAs are not licensed by the state but rather are certified. Given that they are not licensed, they work under the direction and oversight of either a licensed LPN or RN. And as nursing assistants, their main job role is to assist the licensed nurses that they work under. Their duties are numerous and varied, and in a hospital setting may include:
- Providing basic services to patients
- Checking patient’s vital signs
- Keeping a record of patient’s health status
- Cleaning and dressing patients
- Serving and aiding patients with meals
- Moving patients to other areas
CNAs can also practice in Chancellor AL nursing homes or long term care facilities. In those environments, nursing assistants are more involved in assisting patients with their Activities of Daily Living (ADL). ADLs are defined as routine activities that most individuals accomplish daily without help, such as eating, dressing, or using the bathroom. Nursing assistants usually develop more of a bond with these types of patients since they commonly remain in the facilities for prolonged time periods. In many cases, they can become the conduit between the patient and the rest of the medical staff because of their familiarity with their charges. Because of this, the CNA’s expertise can be an useful resource for planning the proper care and treatment of long term care patients.
Unlike many other licensed nurses, certified nursing assistants do not need to obtain a college degree. CNA education can be obtained at community colleges or at Chancellor AL vocational or trade schools. The duration of the training program can take anywhere from 1 to three months, resulting in either a certificate or a diploma. Under the 1987 Nursing Home Reform Act, students are mandated to have at least 75 hours of training, 16 of which have to be clinical or “hands-on” training hours. Keep in mind that this is the minimum period of training mandated and every state has its own prerequisites. So it’s crucial to make certain that the training program you enroll in not only satisfies the federal requirements, but additionally those for the state where you will be practicing. One recommendation is to contact the health or nursing board for your state to make certain that the education is state certified. In addition to the training, each state mandates a passing score on a competency test for certification. Depending on the state, there may be other requirements as well.
Online CNA Schools
Enrolling in CNA training online is growing into a more in demand way to get training and attain a certificate or diploma in Chancellor AL. Certain schools will require attendance on campus for a component of the training, and virtually all programs require a certain amount of clinical rotation hours performed in a local healthcare facility. But since the balance of the training can be accessed online, this method may be a more accommodating answer to finding the free time to attend classes for many students. Concerning tuition, many online CNA programs are less costly than other on campus alternatives. Even supplemental expenses such as for commuting and study materials can be lessened, helping to make education more affordable. And a large number of online programs are accredited by organizations like the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Therefore if your job and household obligations have left you with very little time to pursue your academic goals, perhaps an online CNA school will make it easier to fit earning a certificate into your busy schedule.
Questions to Ask CNA Training Classes
Now that you have decided on which nursing program to enroll in, as well as if to attend your classes on campus or online, you can utilize the following checklist to begin narrowing down your choices. As you no doubt realize, there are many CNA schools and colleges within Alabama and the United States. So it is important to decrease the number of schools to select from in order that you will have a manageable list. As we already mentioned, the site of the school as well as the expense of tuition are undoubtedly going to be the initial two things that you will look at. But as we also stressed, they should not be your sole qualifiers. So prior to making your final choice, use the following questions to evaluate how your pick compares to the other schools.
- Accreditation. It’s a good idea to make sure that the certificate program as well as the school is accredited by a U.S. Department of Education acknowledged accrediting agency. Aside from helping make sure that you obtain a premium education and employment in the Chancellor AL area, it may assist in acquiring financial aid or student loans, which are frequently not provided for non-accredited schools.
- Certification Preparation. Certification requirements for CNAs differ from state to state. For CNA certification, passing a state specific exam is required. Certain states require a specific number of clinical hours be performed, as well. It’s important that the school you are enrolled in not only delivers an excellent education, but also readies you to comply with the minimum certification standards for Alabama or the state where you will be practicing.
- Reputation. Check internet rating companies to see what the evaluations are for each of the schools you are looking into. Ask the accrediting agencies for their reviews also. In addition, contact the Alabama school certification or licensing authority to check out if there are any complaints or compliance issues. Finally, you can speak with some Chancellor AL healthcare organizations you’re interested in working for after graduation and ask what their judgements are of the schools as well.
- Graduation and Job Placement Rates. Find out from the CNA schools you are considering what their graduation rates are as well as how long on average it takes students to complete their programs. A low graduation rate may be an indication that students were dissatisfied with the program and dropped out. It’s also important that the schools have high job placement rates. A high rate will not only verify that the school has a good reputation within the Chancellor AL medical community, but that it also has the network of contacts to assist students obtain a position.
- Internship Programs. The best way to obtain experience as a certified nursing assistant is to work in a clinical environment. Essentially all nursing degree programs require a specified number of clinical hours be completed. Various states have minimum clinical hour mandates for certification also. Ask if the schools have a working relationship with local Chancellor AL hospitals, clinics or labs and assist with the placing of students in internships.

Chancellor of the Exchequer
The Chancellor and Under-Treasurer of Her Majesty's Exchequer, commonly known as the Chancellor of the Exchequer,[a] or simply the Chancellor, is a senior official within the Government of the United Kingdom and head of Her Majesty's Treasury. The office is a British Cabinet-level position.
The chancellor is responsible for all economic and financial matters, equivalent to the role of finance minister in other nations. The position is considered one of the four Great Offices of State, and in recent times has come to be the most powerful office in British politics after the prime minister.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer is now always Second Lord of the Treasury as one of the Lords Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Treasurer. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, it was common for the prime minister also to serve as Chancellor of the Exchequer if he sat in the Commons; the last chancellor who was simultaneously prime minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer was Stanley Baldwin in 1923. Formerly, in cases when the chancellorship was vacant, the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench would act as Chancellor pro tempore. The last Lord Chief Justice to serve in this way was Lord Denman in 1834.
Pick the Right CNA Training Classes near Chancellor AL
Choosing the best certified nursing assistant program is perhaps the most crucial step to starting a new career in the medical care field. There are numerous variables that you need to think about when deciding on a nursing school. These aspects will be prioritized differently depending on your existing career goals, lifestyle, and financial situation. As we have pointed out in this content, it is essential that you select a CNA college and a certificate program that are each accredited and have excellent reputations within the medical community. By utilizing our checklist of qualifying questions, you will be able to develop a shortlist of schools to select from so that you can make your ultimate selection. And with the proper degree and training, combined with your hard work and ambition to succeed, you can become a certified nursing assistant in Chancellor AL.

Hereis the most impactful 9-page doc of the past 10 years!
“A proposed a system for electronic transactions without relying on trust”…”To solve this, we proposed a peer-to-peer network using proof-of-work to record a public history of transactions that quickly becomes computationally impractical for an attacker to change if honest nodes control a majority of CPU power. The network is robust in its unstructured simplicity”.
“A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online
payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a
financial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the main
benefits are lost if a trusted third party is still required to prevent double-spending.”
Whatever your opinion is on Bitcoin, cryptos, Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs – And No, the term Blockchain is NOT mentioned in the WP), this doc has changed the way value can be created and shared.
Trust can be “automatized”, leading to a single source of truth; no need to compensate a third party to validate a transaction.
Reducing mediation costs means significant savings for many industries.
In a recent studyfrom Juniper Research, financial institutions could generate savings over $27bln on cross-border settlements.
No doubt it’s one of the most debated subjects of the moment.
But you have to acknowledge that real things are happening around cryptocurrencies, from new fundraising solutions to custodian services developed for institutional investors.
Regulators all over the world are scratching their heads around this new asset class, while investments are booming.
After all the comments on the “bubble” and the crazy valuations of Q4 2017, the least we can say is that cryptocurrencies, and the underlying technologies, are here to stay.
Never too late to join the party.
We’ve just watched the pilot. The next season will be a hell of a show!

I Will Love You Forever
I am sure there are those who get goosebumps just by reading this title. Koreans, especially first-generation Koreans, tend to have difficulty expressing the depth of their emotions very well. No matter how long we live in the United States, it is something that rarely seems to change. It reminds me of this verse: “Better is open rebuke than love that is concealed”(Pro 27:5). In other words, love that is not expressed is not true love. Perhaps the same can be said of gratitude and remorse.
I am an ordinary man, no different from the healthy sons of Korea, a man who once pursued masculine beauty and advocated for traditional male authoritarianism. However, through God’s living Word and the many hardships I have faced throughout my life, I believe I have been changed a great deal. I feel I am becoming more mature now! Christianity is a way of faith full of vitality that must be expressed in some kind of form. If we experience grace and live by His Word, we will definitely continue to grow and change.
To be honest, I don’t express all of my feelings either, but I have begun to confess to my wife in my heart, “I will love you forever.” We will be celebrating our 46th wedding anniversary this March. A newly married couple in their 20s has already become an old couple in their 70s. I have lived a challenging life caring for my severely disabled wife over the last 34 years of our marriage. I must confess that I was only able to come this far by God’s grace, and that I cannot live without His grace in the future.
I am relatively robust, so I did not have much trouble tending to my wife until just a year or two ago, but my body has been suffering from a “back disc” so I now understand the difficulty of what I once completed with relative ease. Sometimes, I am so exhausted that I simply try with all my strength to endure it all and labor on with the thought that today is the last day. And surprisingly, I live a new day with gratitude to God who gives me new strength to accomplish the tasks He has set out for me through His grace.
Yet, seeing my wife, who is unable to physically do anything on her own, I feel a mixture of love and grief. Like a mother’s heart for her helpless child… In the face of my wife, who lies in bed for about 16 hours a day, I sometimes see our two daughters who reside in heaven, and even angels. As I suffer from pain, I groan and scowl without realizing it. But my wife, who has been living for 34 years with constant indescribable pain, seems to belong to heaven.
I stretch out my wife’s paralyzed limbs three times a day, but every time I do her right arm, it fractures my heart. She wore a cast for while after breaking her arm in the accident, and after its eventual removal, her elbow still would not bend all the way. One day, while helping her stretch, I pushed too hard and accidentally broke my wife’s elbow bone. How horrified and heartbroken I was! She had to have a metal implant inserted in her elbow, so movement in that arm is still limited and the pain is even worse. Because of that, I feel sorrow for my wife and have promised to love her until the end.
There is something that I have learned much about; because of our sins, no, because of my sins, I can feel the pain Christ suffered when the nails pierced His hands and feet, His side was stabbed by the spear. Because of that, I declare that I will love our Lord even more. “I love You Lord forever who have suffered for me!” Hallelujah!

Eat nutrient and water dense foods like salads, berries, and other fruits (oranges , bananas, pears) and veggies (tomatoes, celery, spinach) They are easy to digest, water based and can replace electrolytes. Watermelon actually has too much sugar.
2. Sea Some Salt.

Contrary to popular belief, sea salt is actually relatively low in sodium and contains a complete array of trace minerals.
3. Pass ON the Caffeine
Minimize diuretics such as coffee, common energy drinks and alcoholic drinks as they all contribute to vital water loss leading to dehydration and fatigue.
4. Stay Cool, Not Cold, with Your Water
Drinking cool, not cold, water can enhance absorption.
Six to eight, eight ounce glasses of water is a base of what an active individual should consume. In a heat like this, half your body weight is not a bad idea.
5. Don’t forget to Take Your Vitamin… Supplements.
Replenish Nutrients with natural vitamin supplements.
Using a vitamin supplement that dissolves in water is perfect. It’s easier than taking a bunch of pills and pushes you toward the all-important water consumption.
Budge Collinson Bio
Budge Collinson is the President and Founder of Infusion Sciences, a health and wellness focused improving health, natural energy and sustainable wellness. Budge, who grew up in a household where the natural way was the only way. His mother Linda founded the LaCrista Natural Skincare company while he was still in elementary school. Budge began learning about alternative methods to health and wellness early on, and after a lifetime of personal experience with natural remedies , found the Infusion Sciences company — continuing the Collinson family tradition of prolonging health, longevity and quality of life.
Budge earned a B.S. degree in Food and Resource Economics from the University of Florida while completing numerous classes in the area of nutrition, science, and food processing. After achieving an NASM certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine in 1998 while furthering his nutrition and physical performance knowledge, Budge became a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) in 2002.
Linda Collinson Bio
In 1975 Linda’s her new baby son, nicknamed Budge, contracted salmonella poisoning in the hospital. He was very sick and doctors told her he would always carry the bacteria in his body as no cure was available. Linda would not accept this and began researching everything she could to learn about the disease. She went to the National Library of Medicine and read through many books eventually coming across a report that vitamin A is vital for the development of the body’s barriers to infection. She started by bottle feeding juiced fresh carrots daily to her son. Periodically her son was tested and after several months a test came back negative for the bacteria. The doctor thought surely it was a false negative. She eventually cured her son so Linda became a believer that nature had a cure for every ailment.
Linda had always suffered from sensitive, irritated skin and thought maybe there was a natural treatment. Through trial and error and researching the vast list of ingredients of various skin products sold in department stores and drug stores, Linda discovered the various available products offered by a multitude of manufacturers all contained ingredients that actually contributed to her dry, irritated skin – most products contained mineral oil, a petroleum product, that does the opposite of hydrating the skin. Linda knew there had to be a better way to care for her skin. She finally found a soothing formula that worked great. Friends and family began asking what she did to have such pretty skin and wanted whatever it was that she was using. Before long, supplying more and more people through word of mouth confirmed her intuition that there were many who would benefit from her formulas. In 1981 Linda founded LaCrista (meaning the best) Natural Skincare to market her natural skincare formulas that worked so well for her very sensitive skin. Linda landed her products on the shelves of WalMart, Sams Club, Giant Food, The Cosmetic Centers, and other notable retail stores in the U.S. and abroad.

The project supported the organization of a practical field survey and inventorying of ICH in pilot communities, during which five teams of provincial cultural officers conducted cultural mapping of ICH elements in two districts. The teams used questionnaires using the methodologies developed during the inventorying workshop. The Ministry also arranged for the preparation of mock nomination files on five elements that would be discussed and evaluated during the next workshop on the elaboration of nomination files to the ICH Lists. The five elements were: (i) customs and rituals of Sinhalese puberty rites ; (ii) traditional therapeutic veniculture and cauterization techniques ; (iii) national Sinhalese New Year tradition ; (iv) procession of the Sacred Tooth in Kandy ; and (v) traditional puppetry.

Liverpool Pride came again this weekend and the consensus is that it was a storming success. We were in attendance but we thought we’d let the pictures of the day speak for themselves.
Photographer Pete Carr has captured the event in a series of beautiful portraits based around the superhero theme of this year’s event. We asked him for this thoughts and experience of the day – head over to his site to read the stories behind the images.
SS: How did people react to being asked to pose?
PC: Everyone said yes. They were all full of energy and proud to be there. Real honest pride. Proud of the city, who they were and who their friends were. Fantastic.
SS: Did people embrace the fancy-dress theme?
PC: There was a good portion. Some just wearing a Superman t-shirt, others a Superman onesie and others as actual Superman. Dogs, kids, nans – if it could be costumed it would be. Others just came along for the fun.
The best were the out-of-the-box thinkers. Superman and Batman were obvious choices. I liked the girl who went as a crayon, Finn The Human from Adventure Time, the children dressed as Lego Avengers, the woman supporting Angela Eagle and the two women who had been together for 26 years and were each others superheroes.
What else stood out?
PC: It was one big party. Not even the crazy bible people could upset the crowd. Lot of love on the streets. Everyone could walk around without fear of being whoever they wanted to be. It was family friendly too. Kids all dressed up as Batman, Superman and Lego figures. Just one big fun day.
I enjoyed seeing the Blackpool Christian Group laugh off the idiotic ranting of the other so-called Christians preaching hate.
A lot of people loved that Liverpool was free too. They said Manchester had become too commercialised and it cost £12.50 to join the parade. Anyone could join up in Liverpool. People came from all over to be part of that.

Take a look at some of Thursday's midday movers:
Boeing hit a 52-week high. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board released an interim report on its ongoing investigation of the lithium-ion battery system on the 787 Dreamliner, but said it still has not found the root cause of the January fire.
The financials sector was the best performing S&P 500 large-cap group ahead of the results of the Fed's stress test expected later Thursday. Citigroup hit a 52-week high.

It is rather remarkable to note that Dr. Jung concludes The Red Book with the words:
"The touchstone is being alone with oneself
This is the way."
Compare this with the words with which Plotinus ends The Enneads in the Chapter entitled: "The Flight of the Alone."
The Enneads: "F" (conclusion)
Things here are but signs that show to the wise how
the Supreme God is known; the enlightened sage
reading the sign may enter the holy place and make
the vision real. This Term, attained only by those
that have over-passed all, is the All-Transcending.
There is thus a converse in virtue of which the
essential man outgrows Being, becomes identical
with the Transcendent of Being. He that knows
himself to be one with This, has in himself
the likeness of the Supreme; if from that
heightened self he can pass higher still—
image to archetype— he has won
the term of all his journeying.

The conduction band parameters of two-dimensional (2D) electrons in high density GaN/AlGaN heterojunctions were studied using the cyclotron resonance and magnetotransport techniques in high magnetic fields (24 T) and low temperatures (300 mK). The Landau level splitting determined from the cyclotron resonance experiment yielded the effective mass of 2D carriers, m* = 0.242 +/- 0.002 m(0). The Lande g factor for the 2D electrons (g = 2.06 +/- 0.04) was determined from the angular dependence of the amplitude of Shubnikov-de-Haas oscillations experiments in tilted magnetic field.

Pulsed Thermography (PT) is one of the most common methods in Active Thermography procedures of the Thermography for NDT & E (Nondestructive Testing & Evaluation), due to the rapidity and convenience of this inspection technique. Flashes or lamps are often used to heat the samples in the traditional PT. This paper mainly explores exactly the opposite external stimulation in IR Thermography: cooling instead of heating. A steel sample with flat-bottom holes of different depths and sizes has been tested. Liquid nitrogen (LN2) is sprinkled on the surface of the specimen and the whole process is captured by a thermal camera. To obtain a good comparison, two other classic NDT techniques, Pulsed Thermography and Lock-In Thermography, are also employed. In particular, the Lock-in method is implemented with three different frequencies. In the image processing procedure, the Principal Component Thermography (PCT) method has been performed on all thermal images. For Lock-In results, both Phase and Amplitude images are generated by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Results show that all techniques presented part of the defects while the LN2 technique displays the flaws only at the beginning of the test. Moreover, a binary threshold post-processing is applied to the thermal images, and by comparing these images to a binary map of the location of the defects, the corresponding Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves are established and discussed. A comparison of the results indicates that the better ROC curve is obtained using the Flash technique with PCT processing method.
The thermal diffusivity of solid materials is usually measured with the well-known flash method. In the traditional setup, the tested specimens have the shape of a small disc. However, several industrial applications need to test different typologies of samples. This work is focused on ring specimens, that are widely used as joints or sealants in various applications. The goal is investigating the possibilities and limitations of the flash method, applying minimum adjustments to the traditional experimental setup.
A preliminary numerical study is conducted with the creation of a finite element model. Firstly, the model is checked with the standard case of a full disk. Then the simulation investigates the case of an aluminum oxide ring, that is taken as the reference case to determine the reliability of the proposed technique.
After the simulation, an experimental measurement is performed on the aluminum oxide ring reference case. Several samples are tested and useful information on the practical feasibility of the experimental setup are collected. The obtained thermal diffusivity values fall into the expected range for the material, confirming the validity of the suggested method.
Infrared thermography is widely applied to the inspection of building, enabling the identification of thermal anomalies due to the presence of hidden structures, air leakages, and moisture. One of the main advantages of this technique is the possibility to acquire rapidly a temperature map of a surface. However, due to the actual low-resolution of thermal camera and the necessity of scanning surfaces with different orientation, during a building survey it is necessary to take multiple images.
In this work a device based on quantitative infrared thermography, called aIRview, has been applied during building surveys to automatically acquire thermograms with a camera mounted on a robotized pan tilt unit. The goal is to perform a first rapid survey of the building that could give useful information for the successive quantitative thermal investigations. For each data acquisition, the instrument covers a rotational field of view of 360° around the vertical axis and up to 180° around the horizontal one. The obtained images have been processed in order to create a full equirectangular projection of the ambient.
For this reason the images have been integrated into a web visualization tool, working with web panorama viewers such as Google Street View, creating a webpage where it is possible to have a three dimensional virtual visit of the building. The thermographic data are embedded with the visual imaging and with other sensor data, facilitating the understanding of the physical phenomena underlying the temperature distribution.
The accurate knowledge of the thermal performance could reduce significantly the impact of buildings on global energy consumption. Infrared thermography is widely recognized as one of the key technologies for building surveys, thanks to its ability to acquire at a glance thermal images of the building envelope. However, a spot measurement could be misleading when the building is under dynamic thermal conditions. In this case data should be acquired for hours or days, depending on the thermal properties of the walls. Long term thermographic monitoring are possible but imply strong challenges from a practical standpoint.
This work investigates the possibilities and limitations of spot thermographic surveys coupled with contact probes, that are able to acquire continuously the thermal signal for days, to investigate the thermal bridges of a building. The goal is the estimation of the reliability and accuracy of the measurement under realistic environmental conditions. Firstly, numerical simulations are performed to determine the reference value of an experimental case. Then a long term thermographic survey is performed and integrated with the contact probe measurement, assessing the feasibility of the method.
An innovative ceramic material has been developed as a possible substitute of the traditional rock-wool as thermal insulating material. It should be used in the future inside a machine working at a temperature greater than 200 °C. The effect of exposition to this temperature for several hours has been evaluated to check if a degradation of the insulating properties can be measured. Experiments did not show any evidence of degradation. Nonetheless the value of the thermal conductivity measured both at high and ambient temperature was not so good as expected. At the same time, the same measurements on rock-wool (the traditional choice for insulation in this machinery) revealed to be very difficult as it is not possible to prepare samples to be tested in a laser flash. To overcome this problem in the measurement of the performance at high temperature a new experiment was prepared by heating one side of the material by means of an electric heater and by looking and comparing (at least qualitatively) the temperature increase on the other side. On the purpose, two parallel-piped samples of the two rival materials, with the same thickness have been prepared and put in contact with the electric heater plate. The temperature evolution of the side facing the ambient has been measured by means of a thermographic camera for almost one hour. The experiment shows that the traditional material owns better insulation performance than the innovative one. Attention has been paid on the properties of the innovative material that, being highly hygroscopic, can maintain a low temperature during the drying process due to the very high value of the latent heat of water when changing from liquid to gas phase.
Infrared thermography is a valuable tool for non-destructive evaluation of antique artworks. Active thermographic
techniques can be applied on-site thanks to their contactless and non-invasive nature. On-site monitoring is a challenging
task. The observed objects are often hard to reach and of unknown thermal and physical properties. Moreover there are
usually hard constraints on the availability of the site, in terms of space and time. For these reasons the acquired data are
typically inhomogeneous and need to be reorganized and post-processed, with dedicated algorithms, to enhance the
The frescoes of the San Gottardo Church, located in Asolo, in the North-East of Italy, are showing multiple detachments
due to the ageing process. More than 60 frescoed surfaces have been selected for evaluation via an active thermography
procedure. Each area has been heated with handheld air heaters and a sequence of infrared images of the cooling process
has been recorded.
Several techniques are available for the post-processing of thermographic sequences. In this work standard algorithms,
such as correlated contrast and principal component thermography, are compared with new ones. We propose two new
algorithms, the first is based on sum and filtering, the second is an adaptation of the partial least squares method to
thermography. The obtained results allow to identify and locate the most important detachments on the surfaces.
Applications of Infrared Thermography in buildings surveys are not limited to the identification of the temperature distribution and heat losses on building envelopes. As it is well known from NDT testing in industrial applications, active IR thermographic methods such as heating-up/cooling-down or lock-in thermography improve the results in many investigations. In civil engineering these techniques have not been used widely. Mostly, thermography is used in a quasistatic manner. This paper illustrates a new approach to achieve, by the lock-in technique, an in depth view of the structure of the wall evidencing the presence of buried elements, interfaces and cracks. The idea is to take advantage of the periodic heating and cooling of earth surface due to the alternating of day and night. The corresponding thermal wave has a period equal to 24 hours that can probe the walls of buildings with a penetration depth of the order of some centimeters. The periodic temperature signal is analysed to extract amplitude and phase. It is expected that the phase image gives the indication of inhomogeneity buried in the wall structure. As a case study, the exterior surface of Palazzo Ducale in Venice is analysed and illustrated. In addition to IR images, visible electromagnetic band is considered to evaluate the strength of the solar radiation and the geometrical distortion. Indeed, the periodicity due to the Earth rotation is only approximately of 24 hours. The passing clouds or the possibility of rainy days can superimpose other heating or cooling frequencies to the main one. The Fourier analysis of the impinging radiation on the wall is performed. The façade of Palazzo Ducale is tiled with stone of two different colours and types. A final attempt to automatically classify the stone tiles in the visible and infrared images is conducted.
The Infrared Images and Other Data Acquisition Station enables a user, who is located inside a laboratory, to acquire visible and infrared images and distances in an outdoor environment with the help of an Internet connection. This station can acquire data using an infrared camera, a visible camera, and a rangefinder. The system can be used through a web page or through Python functions.
The frames of windows are typically made of wood in Italy, even though aluminum, PVC and other materials are more and more utilized in the building manufacture. On the other hand, the growing attention on the problem of energy saving makes more stringent the attention to the insulation properties of any component of the building envelope. Therefore, it is paramount to evaluate the thermal properties of wood that will be utilized in the windows frame manufacture.
Wood is a material characterized by a high anisotropy due to its characteristic growing. Mechanical properties, and thermal as well, are very different if considered along the direction of grain or perpendicular to it.
In manufacturing the frame for windows, the fiber or grain direction must be selected in such a way to maximize the thermal resistance along the inside to outside direction, that means the inside/outside direction of frame (i.e. inside/outside direction of window) must be perpendicular to the grain direction. Indeed the grain direction is the one with the maximum thermal conductivity while the perpendicular one (crossing the fiber direction) owns a lower conductivity value.
The anisotropic characteristics of wood made it a challenging material for the measurement of thermal conductivity. Three types of wood have been measured: oak, larch and spruce. Two instruments have been utilized: a) the hot disk apparatus; b) the IR thermography equipment in transmission (a variant of the Parker’s method) and reflection scheme complemented by density and specific heat measurements. In particular, IR thermography gives the possibility to evaluate by images the preferential direction of heat propagation by looking at the deformation of a localized heat source released on the surface (i.e. a circular shape can become an ellipse as heat diffuses on the surface). Results coming from different kind of measurements are compared and critically considered.

If you're on a quest for a new mini tablet, the brands "Nexus" and "Galaxy" might have caught your attention. Or, more specifically, the new 2013 Nexus 7 and the Galaxy Note 8.0 might have made the cut for your shortlist. Join Gizmag, as we break down the specs and compare the features of the two 2013 Android tablets.
The first thing you'll notice on the store shelf is that the Galaxy Note 8.0 is the significantly bigger tablet. Specifically, it's six percent taller and 19 percent wider than the Nexus 7.
The Note 8, however, is an extremely thin tablet. It's eight percent thinner than the Nexus 7.
Both tablets are made of plastic, though you get a matte black on the Nexus 7 and a glossy white or brown for the Note 8.
As the smaller tablet, it's no shock that the new Nexus 7 is 14 percent lighter than the Galaxy Note 8.
Screen size is one of the advantages for the Note 8. It's noticeably bigger (the Nexus 7's screen only gives you 77 percent as much area), and it also has physical/capacitive nagivation keys. The Nexus 7's onscreen navigation bar means apps' useable area is even less than that 77 percent.
Screen resolution, however, is a huge advantage for the new Nexus 7. If you want razor-sharp text and crisp images, then it's the much better choice. Despite that smaller screen, the Nexus gives you 125 percent more pixels than the Note 8 does.
There's little to worry about with either tablet's processor, but the Nexus 7's Snapdragon S4 Pro is going to deliver slightly faster performance.
Good to see that neither Asus nor Samsung skimped in the RAM department, as each tablet packs a healthy 2 GB.
The Note 8 gives you a bit more storage, with 32 GB and 64 GB base options, with the addition of a microSD card slot.
Samsung will sell you either a Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi with LTE version of the Note 8. So far there's only a Wi-Fi version of the new Nexus 7, though Google says we'll see a 32 GB LTE model eventually.
The Note 8 has a higher capacity battery, and should deliver slightly longer battery life. We wouldn't say battery life is a concern on the Nexus 7, but when you have a razor-sharp display and an ultra-portable form factor, it's hard to also deliver industry-leading battery life. Thus its uptimes aren't quite as impressive as several rivals, especially the iPad mini.
Both cameras are pretty much par for the course for tablets. Adequate rear cameras for the ocassional shot, and HD video for the front-facing cameras.
This is probably the biggest reason to choose the Note 8 over the Nexus 7. If you like working with a styus, Samsung's S Pen is tightly integrated with the Note's software, letting you transcribe handwriting, jot notes, and get an overall more precise level of control.
Samsung's Air View is also in tow here, letting you hover the S Pen over some onscreen targets to get live previews. The S Pen on the Galaxy Note 8.0, unlike the one on the Galaxy Note 2, also lets you tap the capacitive back and menu keys.
If you like to use your tablet as a TV remote control replacement, then look no further than the Note 8. The Nexus 7 doesn't have an IR blaster onboard.
If you want to transfer files to a nearby device with a quick bump – or be prepared in case NFC payments ever catch on – then the Nexus 7 has an NFC chip. Samsung skipped NFC on the Note 8. Probably not a deal-breaker for most of us. But it still would have been a nice bonus, considering the Note's higher price (more on that in a moment).
Both devices run Android at the core, as well as the Google Play store and the standard suite of Google apps.
The Nexus 7, though, runs the latest version of Jelly Bean, and also runs stock "Pure Google" Android. The Galaxy Note 8.0 has the glitzed-up Samsung TouchWiz UI on top. We typically prefer stock Android, but the S Pen integration has TouchWiz, in this case, actually offering some improvements.
Right now you can snag the Note 8 for US$20 less than its suggested retail (both directly from Samsung and at Amazon). But even at $380 it's still much more expensive than the new Nexus 7.
Wrap-upHow important is a stylus to you? Are you willing to sacrifice sharp screen resolution and an extra $150 in order to have that tight S Pen integration? If so, then you'll probably want to take a long look at the Galaxy Note 8.0.
But if a stylus isn't that important to you, then the Nexus 7 offers a razor-sharp display, an ultra-light form factor, and a rock-bottom price. The only other real sacrifice is screen size, so if you can live with that, then the Nexus 7 is probably the best tablet value on the market right now.
Leaning towards the Nexus, but still not quite sure? Then look no further than our 2013 Nexus 7 review.

When I was either 8 or 10, I remember being on Rue Des Cageux in Pierrefonds, Qc out getting candy on Oct 31st, when I rang a door to no answer. stubbornly, I rang the door again; I was NOT going home with a half empty bag. The door opened and a man said, “We don’t celebrate Halloween. We’re Christians.” He then closed the door and went back inside. I was perplexed. “Shouldn’t Christians WANT to give and be nice?” my young mind questioned as I walked to the next home. I mean isn’t it better to give than to have a dark house and sit in your basement until 8 PM?
I bring this up because Each year on the last day of October, millions of kids get dressed up after school and either among their friends or with their parents, go to different doors in their neighbourhoods to collect candy. To most kids, it’s an excuse to be Iron Man, Captain Jack Sparrow, a Cupcake, a lion, a ghoul or a witch while (and I’m emphasizing here) getting free candy. The houses that give candy always have their outside light on, some steps are covered with pumpkins and decorations. And the houses that have their lights off either hate kids and visitors, have a religious stance against it or simply aren’t home.
Now for Christians and people of other religions, Halloween comes with its own, how-do-I-say struggles. On one hand, we want to be lights in a dark world no matter what. This is why we go to war-torn countries, get involved with pulling people out of sex trades and the like. So it’s funny that on the supposed darkest night of the year, many Christians house lights are off. And on the other hand, Halloween in its current form highlights the occult and many evil practices, and so churches do Halloween “alternatives” (candy, games, prizes with no costumes so church kids are away from the ‘world’) and protect themselves from the evil outside. These same Christians, I hope, want to reach their neighbors for God and have it in their hearts that their stance is a part of their witness.
Some Christians don’t do Halloween because it’s “Satan’s Birthday” (never proven). Some Christian do Halloween because they weren’t allowed when they were kids and this is their rebellion. Some Christians don’t do Halloween because to do it is to accept evil in the form of costumes. Some Christians do Halloween because they enjoy dressing up and acting (not in the hypocrite sense…I mean actual acting). Some Christians don’t do Halloween because it celebrates all that the Bible speaks against. Some Christians do Halloween because the same Bible compels them to go into evil without being of the evil world.
What about me? I’m a pastor at a church. I aim daily to shun evil and cling to the light. And for 3 years, I have skipped my church’s Missions Mania Halloween alternative night and taken my daughter trick or treating. And the event is a really good one that many people love and come back to year after year. So why am I a Halloween-er? (Click on next page to find out!!)

I have a new situation I cant figure out. When i record a guitar track into sonar 6, and then i try to pan either left or right afterwards on my M-audio projectmix, it doesnt pan correctly. It just sound like it is getting quieter. and i still hear a little bit of sound from both the left and right speaker.
Any ideas why this is?

Nov 20, 2008 08:07 pm I think this is a problem with either the jack or the port the speakers are plugged into. Try fiddelin' with the plug a bit or try a different cable.

Nov 20, 2008 08:15 pm Things do tend to get quieter when panned, unless there is adjustment being made (my mackie board does this and audition has a software feature).
Since: Jun 20, 2006
If you pan 100% either direction do you still hear it in the other speaker?
Nov 20, 2008 09:54 pm I pan it full left or right and it still comes out both sides
Nov 20, 2008 09:57 pm its not the connections. It was working last week when i tried it. It has to be something with my settings.
Actually, i think the panning was working fine until i switched my drivers to ASIO. Last week i was running my system with the wrong drivers and was informed to switch to ASIO which helped clear up some other issues. Now the panning doesnt seem to be working. I doubt the drivers are whats causing this issue though.

I had Gayle. I called it blind persistence. Others called it idiocy. But it catapulted me from mid-table status to the top three in our inter-office league – much to the annoyance of colleagues who were having a ball, seeing the defending champion languishing in the lower half of the table.
Gayle is a killjoy. Take it from me. His pick was a proper jackpot moment and huge differentiator for the ones who had him, vis-à-vis the ones who didn’t.
AB de Villiers, with breathtaking versatility and pure hitting, gave people as many points as Gayle, but that wasn’t as much of a game changer because about 55% of all teams had him. That just showed it’s important to pick a player whose popularity is high. Of course he should be someone who can be depended on to perform, otherwise he would be like Mt Vesuvius and never erupt. You want your volcanoes to erupt and bury all competition.
The key to success in Fantasy League is not just research, balancing the books and sound knowledge of players, oppositions and ground conditions – but also intuition. If yours is working well, persist with it. If it’s giving you horrific results, make sure you do the opposite. Just as we talk about a ‘zone’ for players who are in form, Fantasy League managers also have phases of whatever they touch turns to gold. So if you’re there, it’s best to make use of that good phase when it lasts, because you don’t know when it will end!
The first stage of the ICC Fantasy League is over, and everyone has the chance to remake teams and mount fresh challenges. Those already leading should just ensure they don’t miss out on obvious picks, while taking the occasional risk to maintain their positions. Those catching up need to take more risks, and search hard for hidden gems, while taking advantage of any cockiness that could have crept into those at the top. For those at the bottom, you might feel that nothing can be done to lift you out of the abyss, but worry not! With the infinite substitutions available between now and the next match – England v Sri Lanka –mean you can redo your team, learn from Stage 1 mistakes and take Stage 2 by storm, eventually getting a crack at finishing on top overall.
The seasoned Fantasy League player might wonder at the outpouring of what we call gyaan – trivia and knowledge imparted overbearingly – instead of offering more useful tips, tricks and shortcuts. But I believe in the holistic improvement of Fantasy League players, and not in crash courses to success. The process always wins. Overall development and understanding how the game works will be more important than short-term points game. I can already hear cries of “Move on from this old-school stuff”, so I shall.
My colleague Saurabh Somani had written of the Fantasy League being more marathon than sprint in this column. I agree with the sprint part, but more than marathon, I think of the ICC Fantasy League as a Pentathlon – two stages split in group phases, the quarterfinals, the semifinals and the final. Like different disciplines in the Pentathlon, you need to use different skill sets for each stage, and what works for one will not for the others.
When Stage 2 gets underway, each team will have 42 substitutions for the next 21 matches, which comes to an even two subs per game. But don’t let mathematical symmetry rule all while making substitutions. Make changes judiciously, going for the kill when you see the prey and holding back on dry days. These 42 substitutions can be "the answer to life the universe and everything" if used sensibly. Or they can be “unto death”, as per Japanese culture, if chosen carelessly.
What last week taught us
Ignore trump players at your own peril: Gayle got 796 points in two matches against Zimbabwe and South Africa. AB de Villiers got 570 against West Indies, Tillakaratne Dilshan got 456 and Kumar Sangakkara got 284, both against Bangladesh. All of them made sure you can’t afford to leave these players out.
Value for money (VFM) is the ‘in-thing’: This past week saw two UAE players - Shaiman Anwar (VFM: 278) and Amjad Javed (VFM: 243) emerge as the value buys. "It's a deal, it's a steal, it's the sale of the frigging week!" might have been the cry going around in Fantasy League circles. Rilee Rossouw, with a VFM of 224 gets an honourable mention.
The ones who haven’t taken off: The World Cup is a big stage and some embrace it instantly while others take time. Based on form and talent, these players seemed like good picks, but they have been costly for teams who took them. Shahid Afridi has only 87 points, James Anderson has 96, and Dale Steyn has 136. All three are still being picked, with Steyn in 30% of the teams, while Afridi and Anderson hover below the 10% mark – but the hope that they will give handsome returns hasn’t come to be so far.
Picks for the week
Mixing, matching and retention is an art. You should play around with each, as a painter would do with his brushes. Other than the obvious picks, you would do well to select players who aren’t too popular, and will thus get you exclusive points. Identifying those hidden gems is key.
I won’t go into the details of how a leader, the ones catching-up, and the laggards should go about choosing the team. That has already been done here in some detail. Based on the frequency of a team playing in the next week, here are a few names to consider. The final decision, of course, is always the team manager’s.
Pick players whose teams are playing a set of games in small space of time. A quick glance at fixtures from March 1 to March 8 tells us that Pakistan are playing three and South Africa, Zimbabwe, Ireland and Afghanistan are playing two games each. Hence pack your team with 2-3 players from Pakistan and South Africa, and one each from others seems reasonably sound.
England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Australia, India, West Indies, Scotland, UAE and Bangladesh play only one game each, so the players from these teams should be floaters – bought in only for a game and substituted with another floating player soon after.
Permanent picks: Shahid Afridi (Pakistan; 105,000), Wahab Riaz (Pakistan; 85,000), AB de Villiers (South Africa; 110,000), Imran Tahir (South Africa; 90,000), Faf du Plessis (South Africa; 90,000), Paul Stirling (Ireland; 90,000), Ed Joyce (Ireland; 85,000), Sean Williams (Zimbabwe; 80,000), Brendan Taylor (Zimbabwe; 90,000), Shapoor Zadran (Afghanistan; 75,000), Samiullah Shenwari (Afghanistan; 75,000).
Floater picks: Moeen Ali (England; 85,000), Trent Boult (New Zealand; 80,000), Brendon McCullum (New Zealand; 105,000), Kumar Sangakkara (Sri Lanka; 105,000), David Warner (Australia; 95,000), Mitchell Starc (Australia; 90,000), Virat Kohli (India; 105,000), R Ashwin (India; 90,000), Chris Gayle (West Indies; 105,000), Shakib al Hasan (Bangladesh; 105,000).
Punt on: Ahmed Shahzad (Pakistan; 80,000), Yasir Shah (Pakistan; 70,000), Rilee Rossow (South Africa; 65,000), William Porterfield (Ireland; 80,000), Asghar Stanikzai (Afghanistan; 65,000), Joe Root (England; 80,000), Ross Taylor (New Zealand; 90,000), Rangana Herath (Sri Lanka; 85,000), Shane Watson (Australia; 105,000), Rohit Sharma (India; 90,000), Darren Sammy (West Indies; 90,000), Mahmudullah (Bangladesh; 80,000), Joshua Davey (Scotland; 70,000), Khurram Khan (UAE; 85,000).
If you are the fastidious and punctual type, you can wait till the toss of each game before making changes. This will give you an advantage for sure. But if you, like me, have a problem with waking up early (and matches do start at some unearthly hours in South East Asia and the Subcontinent), then play blind like in blackjack, and change squad/PP overnight, hoping all celestial bodies align properly.
A few important pointers to remember when making decisions and picking a fresh squad on March 1:
1) Pick the players I have suggested.
2) Don’t lose hope over a few bad misses.
3) Think long term.
4) Make professional choices, not personal ones.
5) The blogger is always right.
If you are confused by that, follow Points 1 through 5 on a loop. That will take you places.
So go and make those changes before England and Sri Lanka players take the field and be the Elephant in your intra leagues. Otherwise, you’ll be remembered as the Dinosaur who never made it.
May the cricketing force be with you!

The client wanted to provide an additional consulting room, staff common room and library, health visitors’ offices, a practice manager’s office and medical record storage.
WIA added a two-storey extension to the building and created additional office space in the existing roof space.
All works were carried out in detailed consultation with the practice. And the health centre remained open to the public at all stages of the construction phase.
The Practice Manager at Taunton Medical Centre recommended Willmore Iles for this project

WEF’s Schwab to receive 14th doctorate from KAIST University
This honour will be bestowed on him in recognition of his work in the field of science, in particular his efforts to promote corporate social responsibility and for the concept of multi-stakeholder cooperation, which he originated in 1971.
Before creating the World Economic Forum, Professor Schwab had a distinctive academic career, earning two doctorates – one in engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich and the other in economics (summa cum laude) from the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. He also studied at Harvard University, where he read a Master in Public Administration. In 1972 he became one of the youngest professors at the University of Geneva, where he taught business policy for over 30 years.
The ceremony will be attended by over 200 students, KAIST faculty members, Jang-Moo Lee, Chairman of the KAIST Board of Trustees, and Mayor Seon-Taek Kwon of Daejeon. “Klaus Schwab, through his forward-looking vision and outstanding leadership, has cultivated the World Economic Forum into a global organization, contributing significantly to improving the global economy as well as to resolving international conflicts,” said Sung-Mo “Steve” Kang, President of KAIST.
“It is a great honour to receive this honorary doctoral degree from KAIST, an institution which is known for academic excellence and the role it has played in helping South Korea achieve the level of modernization in a matter of decades that the western world took over a century to achieve,” Professor Schwab said.
At the ceremony, Professor Schwab will give a speech on the “Impact of Disruptive Forces on Our World” and will elaborate on how technological and geopolitical development is shaping global, regional, national and industry agendas.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of branded apparel provider G&K Services (NASDAQ: GK ) jumped 10% today after the company released earnings.
So what: Fiscal second-quarter revenue was up 5.6% from a year ago to $229.2 million, beating expectations of $226 million. On the bottom line, the company reported earnings of $0.68 per share, which beat estimates by $0.08. It also raised fiscal 2013 guidance to earnings of $2.50 to $2.60 per share, from $2.25 to $2.25 previously.
Now what: That's the rare earnings trifecta -- beating on the top line, bottom line, and guidance. I'm a little concerned about what investors are paying after the big jump today, though. Shares trade at 15.5 times 2013 guidance, a steep price for a low level of revenue growth. I'd be a buyer on a pullback, but today it's just too expensive for me.

As a gas giant (or ice giant), Neptune has no solid surface. In fact, the blue-green disc we have all seen in photographs over the years is actually a bit of an illusion. What we see is actually the tops of some very deep gas clouds, which in turn give way to water and other melted ices that lie over an approximately Earth-size core made of silicate rock and a nickel-iron mix. If a person were to attempt to stand on Neptune, they would sink through the gaseous layers.
As they descended, they would experience increased temperatures and pressures until they finally touched down on the solid core itself. That being said, Neptune does have a surface of sorts, (as with the other gas and ice giants) which is defined by astronomers as being the point in the atmosphere where the pressure reaches one bar. Because of this, Neptune’s surface is one of the most active and dynamic places in entire the Solar System.
Composition and Structure:
With a mean radius of 24,622 ± 19 km, Neptune is the fourth largest planet in the Solar System. But with a mass of 1.0243 × 1026 kg – which is roughly 17 times that of Earth – it is the third most massive, outranking Uranus. Due to its smaller size and higher concentrations of volatiles relative to Jupiter and Saturn, Neptune (much like Uranus) is often referred to as an “ice giant” – a subclass of a giant planet.
As with Uranus, the absorption of red light by the atmospheric methane is part of what gives Neptune its blue hue, although Neptune’s is darker and more vivid. Because Neptune’s atmospheric methane content is similar to that of Uranus, some unknown atmospheric constituent is thought to contribute to Neptune’s more intense coloring.
Also like Uranus, Neptune’s internal structure is differentiated between a rocky core consisting of silicates and metals; a mantle consisting of water, ammonia and methane ices; and an atmosphere consisting of hydrogen, helium and methane gas. It’s atmosphere is also divided into four layers, consisting of (from innermost to outermost) the lower troposphere, the stratosphere, the thermosphere and the exosphere.
The two main regions of Neptune’s atmosphere are the two innermost ones: the lower troposhere, where temperatures decrease with altitude; and the stratosphere, where temperature increases with altitude. Within the troposphere, pressure levels range from one to five bars (100 and 500 kPa), hence the surface of Neptune is defined as being within this region.
Neptune’s “surface” can therefore be said to be composed of about 80% hydrogen and 19% helium, with a trace amount of methane. The surface layer is also permeated by roving bands of clouds with varying compositions, depending on altitude and pressure. At the upper-level, temperatures are suitable for methane to condense, and the pressure conditions are such that clouds consisting of ammonia, ammonium sulfide, hydrogen sulfide and water can exist.
At lower levels, clouds of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide are thought to form. Deeper clouds of water ice should be also found in the lower regions of the troposphere, where pressures of about 50 bars (5.0 MPa) and temperature of 273 K (0 °C) are common.
For reasons that remain obscure, the planet’s thermosphere experiences unusually high temperatures of about 750 K (476.85 °C/890 °F). The planet is too far from the Sun for this heat to be generated by ultraviolet radiation, which means another heating mechanism is involved – which could be the atmosphere’s interaction with ion’s in the planet’s magnetic field, or gravity waves from the planet’s interior that dissipate in the atmosphere.
Because Neptune is not a solid body, its atmosphere undergoes differential rotation. The wide equatorial zone rotates with a period of about 18 hours, which is slower than the 16.1-hour rotation of the planet’s magnetic field. By contrast, the reverse is true for the polar regions where the rotation period is 12 hours.
This differential rotation is the most pronounced of any planet in the Solar System, and results in strong latitudinal wind shear and violent storms. The three most impressive were all spotted in 1989 by the Voyager 2 space probe, and then named based on their appearances.
The first to be spotted was a massive anticyclonic storm measuring 13,000 x 6,600 km and resembling the Great Red Spot of Jupiter. Known as the Great Dark Spot, this storm was not spotted five later (Nov. 2nd, 1994) when the Hubble Space Telescope looked for it. Instead, a new storm that was very similar in appearance was found in the planet’s northern hemisphere, suggesting that these storms have a shorter life span than Jupiter’s
The Scooter is another storm, a white cloud group located farther south than the Great Dark Spot. This nickname first arose during the months leading up to the Voyager 2 encounter in 1989, when the cloud group was observed moving at speeds faster than the Great Dark Spot. The Small Dark Spot, a southern cyclonic storm, was the second-most-intense storm observed during the 1989 encounter. It was initially completely dark; but as Voyager 2 approached the planet, a bright core developed and could be seen in most of the highest-resolution images.
For reasons that astronomers are still not clear on, the interior of Neptune is unusually hot. Even though Neptune is much further from the Sun than Uranus and receives 40% less sunlight, its surface temperature is about the same. In fact, Neptune gives off 2.6 times more energy than it takes in from the Sun. Even without the Sun, Neptune glows.
This high amount of interior heat matched with the coldness of space creates a huge temperature difference. And this sets the winds blasting around Neptune. Maximum wind speeds on Jupiter can be more than 500 km/hour. That’s twice the speed of the strongest hurricanes on Earth. But that’s nothing compared to Neptune. Astronomers have calculated winds blasting across the surface of Neptune at 2,100 km/hour.
Deep down inside Neptune, the planet might have an actual solid surface. At the very core of the gas/ice giant is thought to be a region of rock with roughly the mass of the Earth. But temperatures at this region would be thousands of degrees; hot enough to melt rock. And the pressure from the weight of all the atmosphere would be crushing.
In short, there is simply no way one could stand on the “surface of Neptune”, let alone walk around on it.

Alleged ex-wife to sue Georgian ex-prime minister
MOSCOW, December 15 (RAPSI) - Inga Pavlova who claims to be the ex-wife of former prime minister of Georgia, Bidzina Ivanishvili, intends to sue him for using her documents for his own profit, RIA Novosti reports on Monday citing her video address on YouTube.
Pavlova claims that in 2012, she saw Ivanishvili’s autobiographic election video that said that on October 18, 1991, he married Yekaterina Khvedelidze. Pavlova claims that she married the ex-prime minister on November 25, 1991 in Paris and divorced him in 1994.
She says that she never signed any divorce papers. “Someone signed my divorce papers for me so that I wouldn’t receive what I’m entitled to under French divorce law,” Pavlova said.
She also claims that in 2013, Vladimir Ivanidze, an independent journalist, gave her documents obtained from Russian Federal Tax Service. According to these documents, Pavlova was employed by Ivanishvili’s two banks, Impexbank and the Russian Bank of Development. Also, a company, Factorial, was allegedly opened in her name. “After my divorce from Bidzina Ivanishvili he used my documents for eleven years,” Pavlova says and claims that she never worked for the banks and never opened a company.
She also says that she reported the offense to the tax police and the case was forwarded to the criminal police in Moscow. The police refused to open a criminal case due to the statute of limitations. “I’m not satisfied with this response. I will appeal this decision in court,” she said.

I like being free and independent.
I like the idea behind Instagram, but not the proprietary nature of it.
I don’t like giving up my rights to work I create. Even when it’s just a little photo of a little moment captured with my iPhone. I dislike, as Nicholas Carr called it on his blog, “digital sharecropping”. And, of course, now the ads have finally started on Instagram, solidifying my discomfort with it. Why should I let them profit from even the smallest amount of my work without compensation?
Well, now, there’s a new program called Pressgram, that’s a free iPhone app, which allows an Instagram-like experience, but uploads the photos to my WordPress blog. You can upload them to your WordPress.com blog, or, as I do, to my self-hosted WordPress blog. Word has it that there is an Android version in the works, too. It’s a new app, so there are some on-going refinements, but it really is a great start, I think.
Obviously, I’ve been using it here and at my other site, JKHoffman.com, so I believe in it. Yes, it took me a little fiddling to get the setting just the way I want and to sort out a couple other things, but, now that I have, I think this is going to work just fine. I can already see the difference in my site stats!
Anyway, worth checking out if you’re leary of another ad-supported system that lets you share, but not much else.

CBD, or cannabidiol is a non-psychoactive, naturally-occurring chemical present in cannabis. Its usage is continuing to grow in the UK, with a variety of methods being used to take the product. Not only can CBD be added to food, it is also used in cosmetics and shampoos; it is a completely legal and versatile natural product used extensively throughout the UK.
One of the most popular methods to take CBD oil is orally. Harvesting CBD oil is done in a variety of ways, including CO2 extraction, whereby CO2 is passed through the plant at a warm temperature. This method is often considered the safest (it removes all impurities on the plant) and most effective for harvesting the purest CBD oil. Other methods include Ethanol Extraction, which collects CBD oil using high-grain alcohol, but this can often damage the plant. The third method is extraction via a carrier oil, such as olive oil; this method is becoming increasingly popular because it gives the added benefit of other oils within the product. When the oil is ingested orally, the supplement is absorbed by the liver.
A number of CBD oils have added oils to help thin the product, making it easier to consume from spray bottles; these bottles are widely used to take CBD oil, but can also be transferred to capsules and consumed as pills. Whilst CBD oil can be taken on its own, it can also be added to various foods too.
If CBD oil is ingested sublingually, it means that the oil is held under the tongue for approximately 90 seconds for maximised effect. When this method is adopted, the supplement reaches the bloodstream faster as it bypasses the digestion process. Mucus in the mouth absorbs the oil faster than it is digested, making interaction with the endocannabinoid system in the body quicker and more efficient than simple oral consumption.
Tinctures are made using high grade alcohol or vegetable glycerin. CBD tinctures are usually combined with hemp oil to create a similar grade supplement to CBD oils. However, the concentration of this is usually lower than pure CBD oil, but they are usually taken in the same way: by pipette/spray or added to food. As CBD tinctures contain a lower percentage of CBD than the concentrated oils, they are cheaper and great for those new to CBD products.
CBD Cosmetics & Hygiene
An increasingly popular method of CBD intake is by cosmetic use. CBD oil can be added to face-wash, cream, balms and shampoo to create specialist cosmetic goods. The supplement can be mixed with shea butter, coconut oil and other natural products, as well as added manually to shop-bought shampoos and soaps. Topical supplements (creams and lotions) are applied directly to the skin. The active ingredients are absorbed into skin cells rather than directly into the bloodstream.
CBD oil can be consumed in the same way as conventional vaporizers. Vaping CBD is considered to be the most economical way of consuming the supplement. This is because the oil is absorbed into the bloodstream via the lungs, instead of passing through the gut and liver (as the eaten supplement does). A vaporizer heats CBD oil to its optimum temperature, releasing compounds present in the supplement. Vaping makes the process faster and more efficient than other methods; it uses less CBD oil per dosage. CBD supplements used for vaping contain CBD e-liquid that is infused with vegetable glycerin or propylene glycol. As with conventional vaping, CBD vaping oil comes in a variety of flavours to satisfy all tastes.
