i would like to ask how and where you guys out there get yourself informed/ready for the new raid tactics.
Do you simply go through the dungeon journal and do it on your own?
Or do you use sites like icy-veins with explanatory videos and some ideas concerning tactics?
I would like to read how you do it and especially where you do it if you have websites you can recommend
Thank you in advance <3
ps: of course one big thing to get tactics ready for the patch would have been ptr testing, but i guess im a little late for that :P

Happy New Year ~ 2017!
We’ve all faced many challenges over the last year. It’s been a chaotic and unpredictable ride for me personally, with tragic lows and exhilarating joys, shocking surprises and wonderful new changes. You can probably relate, as I have witnessed similar experiences for many of my family, friends and students, and have seen the same extremes on national and global levels as well.
May we embrace our struggles as lessons for our growth and celebrate our triumphs.
May we leave behind disappointments as ashes from the past and embrace the blessings as we rise like the Phoenix, and soar forward into this New Year with gratitude and grace!
There are 5 Sundays this coming month,
I will be holding a bonus Bagua class tomorrow to ring in the New Year together with a renewing practice at Wilcox Park!
Please RSVP if you are able to join us!
I am currently teaching Bagua Zhang classes on Sundays from 11am-12:30pm at Wilcox Park in Lynnwood, and offering private lessons as well.
I’m seeking another indoor facility in the Lynnwood/Edmonds/Mountlake Terrace area
If you know of a good place, I’m open to suggestions!
Referral Bonus: $20 Discount off 1 Month’s Membership Tuition fees for referring a new student to enroll in classes, and a $20 Discount to the new Student that you refer for their first month!

NOT content with being the world’s coolest mammal, the Arctic ground squirrel now has another accolade: it is the first mammal known to switch its body clock on and off.
The constant light of the Arctic summer and constant darkness of the winter make it difficult to tune circadian clocks to environmental cues. As a result, many Arctic species, such as reindeer, lack circadian rhythms entirely.
Brian Barnes of the University of Alaska in Fairbanks and his colleagues wanted to test whether this was the case for the Arctic ground squirrel – famous for its ability to lower its body temperature to -3 °C during hibernation by supercooling its blood. So they put light-sensitive collars on squirrels to determine when the animals were in their burrows and when they were out.
In their burrows during the winter, the animals’ body temperatures – detected by implanted transmitters – remained constant, indicating that their clocks were off. But once a squirrel emerged in spring, its body temperature rose during the day and fell at night.
In the summer, the squirrels seemed to create their own sunrise and sunset by popping out of their burrows every day and retreating at “night”. This somehow tricked their body clocks into responding. Barnes thinks they could be using timing cues such as the position of the sun.
The work was shown at the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology meeting in San Francisco last month.

Intertrust and K-Businesscom AG join forces to drive forward the digital energy revolution
VIENNA and SAN FRANCISCO - May 5, 2022.
K-Businesscom AG, a technology company in the DACH region, and Intertrust, the global leader in digital rights management and data interoperability, today announced their partnership. The goal is to support the European energy industry and other industries in their transformation and achievement of decarbonization goals. This partnership bundles KBC's solution expertise for customer IT issues with Intertrust's innovative technologies for secure data interoperability along the entire digitization value chain (including sensors/hardware, databases, data center/cloud to artificial intelligence). To ensure that our electricity supply remains secure and affordable in the future, the energy transition must be accompanied by digitization of renewables, grid infrastructure, energy storage systems, electromobility and other segments. This is the only way to implement the urgently needed and efficient control of electricity production on the one hand and demand flexibility via controllable loads on the other. In the future, energy companies will have to coordinate and cooperate via suitable data platforms. Data will be exchanged or shared with external ecosystem partners. This data will then be used by AI applications to ensure efficient automation.
Intertrust Platform and applications such as CleanGrid were created specifically to enable and secure - from hardware to cloud - data interoperability within these ecosystems. Used by energy companies around the world, Intertrust Platform offers numerous features and capabilities, including an interoperability layer for virtual onboarding of disparate data sources and complete and automated data governance for users and AI. These capabilities accelerate enterprises' ability to leverage data in existing and new business processes.
K-Businesscom AG builds on long-standing business relationships with numerous energy companies and also corporate customers in other industries in the DACH region. "Our customers in the energy sector demand solutions that enable them to leverage their data ecosystems and meet all regulatory requirements," explains Jochen Borenich, Member of the Board at K-Businesscom AG. "We are looking forward to working with Intertrust. Thanks to the strengths of both companies, we can meet these requirements perfectly."
"We are proud to work with a digital powerhouse like K-Businesscom," said Florian Kolb, Chief Commercial Officer and General Manager, Energy at Intertrust. "Together, we can contribute to the success of the energy transition by dramatically accelerating the use of AI in the energy industry and also optimally integrating adjacent industries such as electric cars and their charging infrastructure, building management and other industries with significant energy needs." Intertrust products are available immediately to KBC customers.

Ugh, after one round of PRRT with Lu-177-dota-JR11, my existing tumors progressed in the liver and there was also a new tumor seen there. This is my first new tumor since my diagnosis in 2010. Given this information, I was removed from the clinical trial since the treatment did not work as expected for me. The tumors in the lymph nodes were stable or slightly smaller but the growth of the liver tumors and the new 1.4x1.3 cm tumor in the liver was what disqualified me.
I was under the impression, wrongly, I guess, that if my Ga-68 scan “lit up like a Christmas tree” that I would be a good candidate for PRRT. In reality, the objective response rates, as shown by multicenter reports from Europe are seen in 15% - 35% of patients (see this article http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25117465). This is much lower than I thought given the information about PRRT that I have seen and heard through my experience. In reality, I do not read a lot of scientific papers and depend on my doctors to give me information. Dr. Reidy-Lagunes said that she feels bad when she recommends patients for PRRT in Europe because they are paying a lot of money out of pocket for results that are great if it works for them but the chances of a complete response, meaning tumors are gone or have shrunk 50% are less than 35%.
I asked Dr. Weber, the head of nuclear medicine at Sloan Kettering, if he thought that I would respond more positively to other radiolabeled agents such as Y-90 or other peptides such as dotatate or dotatoc and he said “It is hard to predict if other forms of PRRT will potentially be effective. All the clinically used PRRTs target the somatostatin receptor (as does JR11). Therefore the limited effect of JR11 on the liver metastases also decreases the likelihood of a response to other PRRT agents.”
So, unfortunately my PRRT experience was not successful. I’m still glad I entered this trial and I would have even if I had known that my probability of objective response was 15% - 35%. This is not to say it will be unsuccessful for others as I know of one other participant in this PRRT clinical trial that has had 50% reduction in tumor size after one round. I think it is important to understand that although PRRT is a great new treatment that is going to be available soon in the US, it does not always work, even if you have the proper receptors.
Dr. Reidy-Lagunes and Dr. Chan both said that a liver embolization is the next treatment I should consider. I am meeting with an interventional radiologist tomorrow to discuss this procedure.

Democrats have a new mantra in budget talks: Close tax loopholes.
They’re looking to raise more revenue by closing tax loopholes for certain businesses, investors and professionals. The idea is to help ease automatic spending cuts that are soon to become more painful.
The Democrats’ list includes deductions for corporations that pay executives in stock options instead of salaries, and reduced tax rates for hedge fund managers. They’re also going after ways to escape taxes on foreign earnings and Medicare tax avoidance measures for doctors and lawyers.
Republicans aren’t averse to closing those loopholes. But they insist that new revenues should help reduce tax rates, not increase government spending.
The dispute could doom prospects for a deal to averting more spending cuts next year and a longer-term budget agreement.

In an extraordinary intervention, Heads of Planning Scotland (HoPS) has told MSPs that 10 per cent of Ayrshire, for example, has already been made available for development to renewable power companies.
With “less sensitive sites” reaching saturation point, they predicted public opposition will increase as more planning applications are made to build wind farms on “familiar” and fragile landscapes.
“The cumulative effects of additional wind farms will change an otherwise unaltered local landscape into a ‘wind farm’ landscape,” they concluded.
In its submission to the Holyrood inquiry, Scottish National Heritage (SNH) warned the proposals cannot be achieved without “significant effect” on the country’s natural environment and protection for species like the golden eagle.
Should all the pending planning applications be approved, it said the effect would be to “considerably extend” the visibility of wind farms across Scotland’s countryside by narrowing the “gaps” between separate developments.
The analysis by SNH and senior council planners, who are responsible for handling the majority of applications, provides the most comprehensive insight yet into the impact of SNP’s plan for a green energy revolution.
They were published as it was confirmed Donald Trump will give evidence next month to the inquiry after promising to spend £10 million on campaign wind farms, which he said are destroying the landscape.
Alex Salmond has set a target of generating the equivalent of 100 per cent of Scotland’s electricity requirements from renewable sources by the end of the decade.
Although there has been a rapid expansion in recent years – Fife Council has reported a 100-fold increase in renewable planning applications since 2004 – many rural communities are becoming increasing hostile to further development.
HoPS told the Scottish Parliament inquiry that growing opposition to wind farms “cannot be discounted simply in the national interest” of meeting the SNP targets.
“Large areas of Scotland are now subject to wind farm development visible from many vantage points over extensive distances,” the planning chiefs said in a written submission prior to giving oral evidence tomorrow (weds).
“As consented schemes are completed on less sensitive sites, it is clear that there will be an increasing scale of public concern being voiced as familiar and more sensitive landscapes may be altered by emerging development pressures.”
The planning chiefs said an increasing number of applications that appear on their desks are for “highly sensitive areas” or sites where there would be an “unacceptable” environmental impact.
Although some rural areas like national parks have extra protection from development, the planning chiefs said this does not apply to local beauty spots or “non-designated countryside”.
Single turbines or smaller clusters can cause “disproportionate” damage to the landscape compared to the power they generate, the officials warned.
However, local authorities are being “proactive” in finding local land on which wind farms can be built, with Ayrshire allocating the “equivalent to 10 per cent of the landward area.”
SNH, a quango that looks after Scotland’s natural environment, warned approving all the applications in the system would result in a “very significant change to both the diversity and distinctiveness of our landscapes.”
Although the SNP’s targets are technically feasible, its submission to the inquiry said approving all the current applications “would result in a reduction of some of the ‘gaps’ between current wind farm(s).”
“There can be no doubt that achieving 100 per cent will have some significant effects on our nature and landscapes,” it said, before recommending that further development is limited in some areas.
The quango warned councils are struggling to meet the demands placed on them by having to consider hundreds of extra renewable power applications and particularly their duty to draw up “spatial plans”.
These are supposed to be used to identify areas suitable for development, but SNH said there is “limited evidence” green energy companies refer to them before submitting a planning application.
It was confirmed yesterday that Mr Trump will give evidence to the inquiry, conducted by Holyrood’s economy, energy and tourism committee, on April 25.
The US tycoon has been a vocal opponent of plans for a wind farm off the coast of this £750 million golf resort in Aberdeenshire and warned Mr Salmond he risks becoming known as “Mad Alex – the man who destroyed Scotland.”
A Scottish Executive spokesman said wind farms are only built where their impact is “acceptable” and unsuitable applications are rejected.

The news devastated his wife and three young sons: Juan Carlos Payano was leaving them in the Dominican Republic to pursue a world championship in the United States.
“I wasn’t abandoning them. I was doing it to provide a better life, not poverty, living hungry like I had as a child," Payano said. “But with everyone crying the night before I left, I wondered whether leaving was the right decision.”
The youngest of eight children who grew up poor in the town of La Vega, Payano first boxed as a barefoot 5-year-old in hand-me-down shorts.
“We lived in a small shack,” Payano said. “Our parents slept in one room and the kids slept wherever they could on the kitchen or living-area floor. I didn’t want that for my kids.”
Five years later, Payano’s journey has been rewarded. In September, Payano dethroned long-reigning Anselmo Moreno as 118-pound champion. Last month, he was approved for U.S. citizenship, as were his wife and sons, Carlos, 10, Yan, 8, and Daniel, 6.
“He'd visit his family a couple of times a year. Christmas, New Year’s,” Payano’s trainer, Herman Caicedo, said. “Now it’s a matter of time before they’ll all be united in Miami.”
Juan Carlos Payano (16-0, 8 KOs) will make his first title defense Sunday against Rau’shee Warren (13-0, 4 KOs) at Full Sail Live in Winter Park, Florida, in a bout airing on Bounce TV (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT). The fight will also be streamed live on BounceTV.com.
“The pressure's on Rau’shee to worry about me more than me about him,” said Payano, who has won three of his last six fights by knockout. “It’s easier to find sparring partners with his style and speed than it is for him to find guys with my relentless aggression and power."
Payano’s sons have grown to realize their father made the right move. He lives in an eight-bedroom camp at Caicedo Sports Gym in Miami, but plans to build a home for his family.
“For years, they would ask, ‘Are you coming home? Are you on the way? Are you at the airport? Can we pick you up?’” Payano said. “Now it's about school, not giving their mom a hard time. We talk about setting goals like their dad coming to the United States and winning a world championship like he promised he would.”
Up next is Warren, the only three-time U.S. Olympic boxer and the first member of the 2012 U.S. boxing team to challenge for a world title.
Despite Warren's 52-second stoppage of Javier Gallo in March, Caicedo’s not impressed with his power.
“Rau’shee’s gone eight and 10 rounds against C-level opponents. The last guy he fought was a stiff. We respect what his speed brings, but it’s not one-punch knockout power. He’s never flattened or laid anyone out,” Caicedo said.
”We've addressed body punching to slow him down and keep him right in front of us. We’ll strategically walk him down, cut off the ring and create holes and openings. We’re looking to win every single minute of every round.”
Payano, 31, said Warren “hasn’t fought anyone on the same level as I have, but I don't overlook anyone.”
“I’m as focused for Rau’shee as I was for Anselmo. I’m going to look better than I did in my last fight,” Payano added. “I want to do in my division what Floyd Mayweather has done in his. I’ll bring that mentality into every fight.”

Libraries all over the US have expressed concern to Good e-Reader that the vast majority of new e-book titles from Overdrive are not available in the Kindle format. The few books that have been made available are from small presses and not major publishers. Is this something to be worried about?
Overdrive has the largest market share in facilitating digital e-books, audiobooks and videos to libraries all over the United States. Chances are if your local branch offers digital content, its from Overdrive. They are also the only company that offers e-books in the Kindle format.
When libraries desire to make purchases for their branch their first stop is the Overdrive Marketplace. This is where they browse all of the titles available in the system and make buying decisions. Out of the hundreds of new titles that have come out in 2015, only 51 of them are in the Kindle format and they are all from indie authors or small presses. It looks like this is a big delay with everything else.
Have the big 5 publishing companies like Hachette, Simon and Schuster or Penguin put the kibosh on the Kindle format? Have they decided to abandon sending books to the Kindle in an coordinated effort to not empower the e-commerce giant anymore then they have to?
I reached out to Overdrive for comment to try and find out exactly what the situation is with Kindle e-books. David Burleigh Director of Marketing & Communication told me that “I got some background on this issue, and it’s just as I suspected. Almost all of our e-Books are (or will be) compatible with Kindle. We’re aware of delays in availability for some new titles and are working to resolve them as quickly as possible.”
The lack of meaningful information when it comes to the Kindle format has to be unsettling for libraries. There is a heavy population of Amazon users that borrow digital content every single day and if they are looking for the latest bestseller they are out of luck. Many libraries also lamented that they had no idea the Kindle format was not even available until I brought it to their attention and their local Overdrive rep did not give them the heads up about it.
Will libraries forgo spending money on new digital editions, knowing that they are not compatible with Kindle? Will they not buy anything until this situation is resolved? Its hard to say, in the meantime no e-book from a major publisher that was released in 2015 is currently available in the Kindle format from Overdrive.
Michael Kozlowski is the Editor in Chief of Good e-Reader. He has been writing about audiobooks and e-readers for the past ten years. His articles have been picked up by major and local news sources and websites such as the CNET, Engadget, Huffington Post and Verge.

We have access to the biggest trove of data ever produced, but how well-positioned are we to use it? And what are the areas in which consumers can derive benefits? ARRIS will be among the industry leaders discussing these themes at this year’s Cable Congress in Brussels this week.
Charles Cheevers, CTO for our CPE business, will be taking part in a panel discussion called Mining Network Data to Fuel Actionable Decisions. With the amount of information available from connected devices in the home, providers have a growing number of opportunities to improve services. New additions coming into the home, such as voice assistants and other IoT devices, will further broaden the possibilities. We can now better understand consumer behavior, improve service quality, and reduce churn. The panel debate will explore the ways in which we are currently prepared to do this.
But if customers are central to key service decisions, how do providers justify improved data mining to end users? Big data from a consumer perspective will also be part of the discussion. The panel debate will take place on Thursday 9th March in the Gold Hall at 11.50 am.
Cable Congress is a two-day event aimed at identifying and understanding the cable broadband market. This year, the event will cover commercial strategies, innovation, customer experience, marketing strategy and content as well as big data.

Robert Thomas Bakker
Robert Thomas Bakker (born March 24, 1945) is an American Paleontologist known for his contribution to the “Dinosaur Renaissance” and his support of his mentor Ostrom’s theory that some dinosaurs were warm-blooded. He specializes in the ecological context and behavior of dinosaurs.
Bakker was born in Bergen County, New Jersey. As a young boy, he developed an interest in dinosaurs following his first trip to the dinosaur exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History – he was enamored. A few years later, in 1953, the cover of an issue of Life Magazine caught his eye – it showed a portion of Rudolph Zallinger’s mural “The Age of Reptiles” at Yale’s Peabody Museum. He read the accompanying article and was hooked; dinosaurs were his future. In 1963, Bakker graduated Ridgewood High School and found himself at Yale University, studying under John Ostrom. It was Ostrom’s new theory on endothermic dinosaurs that would propel his later studies.
After receiving a bachelor’s degree from Yale, Bakker began his graduate studies in Anatomy and Zoology at Harvard. In 1971 he received his PhD from Harvard and accepted a position with Johns Hopkins University in Maryland as an Anatomy professor. His dinosaur research continued alongside John Ostrom, and he published his first paper on dinosaur endothermy in 1968. In it he related that almost all upright animals today are warm-blooded, and the hearts of these animals can pump much more effectively than cold-blooded animals. This supports the theory that many of these upright dinosaurs such as Brachiosaurus and Deinoychus must be warm-blooded. The paper also established factors of habitat, life-span, metabolism, and growth rates that further prove the creatures’ endothermic nature.
Bakker’s writings continued; he published an article in Scientific American entitled “Dinosaur Renaissance” in April of 1975. With a desire to expand his work to the general public, outside the scientific realm, he wrote a novel entitled Raptor Red. The novel describes a year in the life of a female Utahraptor of the lower Cretaceous, and elaborates on his theories of the behavior of the “raptor” dinosaurs, dromaeosaurids. He later published another book, The Dinosaur Heresies, which further delves into the theories discussed in his 1968 paper that dinosaurs were warm-blooded. His media presence continued when he was caricatured in The Lost World: Jurassic Park. The character of the bearded paleontologist Dr. Robert Burke, who was eaten by a Tyrannosaurus rex, was based on Bakker.
However well-published Bakker became, it did not prevent him from doing his share of field work. He participated in expeditions as far away as South Africa and Mongolia, and has regularly excavated in Como Bluff, Wyoming since he began in 1974. It was Bakker who revealed the first evidence of parental care at nesting sites for the Allosaurus. He was also the first to suggest that dinosaurs had feathers, a theory proven true in China during the 1990s.
Science and religion do not always intertwine, but Bakker believes there is no real conflict. As a Pentecostal preacher, he believes one should be open-minded when it comes to evolution and creationism. He has advised scientists and creationists to read Saint Augustine, who argued against a literal translation of the Book of Genesis.
Bakker currently serves in a number of paleontological positions. He is a Visiting Curator of Paleontology for the Houston Museum of Natural Science, Adjunct Curator at the Tate Museum at Casper College in Wyoming, and the Director of the Morrison Natural Museum in Colorado. He has residences in Colorado and Wyoming, where he leads guided fossil digs and lectures on prehistoric life.

Deal of the Day is back! Now that we’re staying home to social distance, life is all about comfort. But there are only so many leggings/t-shirt combos one can wear. Enter: this $34 jumpsuit.
This knit material is so soft. It feels like pajamas. But the fact that it’s a jumpsuit makes you look pulled together. I quickly added a headband and handbag for my curbside take-out run.
When I’m back on mom duty, this jumpsuit is paired with flip flops and a ponytail. When we resume normal life (fingers crossed!), I can see this paired with dressy sandals and statement jewelry for a warm evening out. Long story short – this comfy piece goes with everything and at $34, it’s a crazy deal. It comes in six colors and I’m already eyeing the black or navy for a potential second option. To note, I’m wearing a size small.
Hope this inspires you to update your comfy quarantine clothes!

With their well proven ProTAPER technology which puts material where it’s needed and removes it from where it isn’t; Answer have produced this full 780mm width DH bar which weighs in at just 336g.
That’s the kind of weight that you normally find on much narrower aluminium bars, yet this Answer bar has proved to be more than man enough for the job. Apart from looking classy we also love the way it reminds us of the old skool days when there really was only one choice when it came to bars; the ProTAPER. Shape wise there’s nothing kooky going on with 8º of backsweep and 4º of upsweep, plus there’s a choice of either 12.5 or 25.4mm of rise. It’s great to see a return to form for this bar, and long may it continue.
Price: £59.99 Hotlines

1 can - Cherry pie filling, can of FAT FREE Sweetened Condensed Milk 14 oz, 1 8oz can of Crushed Pineapple 2/3 bag Mini Marshmallows (Which are FAT FREE), 16-24oz FAT FREE Cool Whip.
You will need a large mixing Bowl and a spoon and a spatula.
First, completely drain the crushed pineapple. Using a small wire mesh strainer and a spatula and pushing all the juice into a cup or bowl (to drink or discard). The more juice you drain the better or else it will cause separation. (Of course if you have Pineapple allergies - you can omit this ingredient too!)
Next combine all the ingredients except the cool whip and the cherry pie filling. Make sure to mix well. Then fold in the cherry pie filling and then fold in the Cool Whip. I say fold, because you don't want to crush all the cherries, and you don't want to flatten the cool whip.
The best way to eat it is to let it sit overnight. If you are strong and let it sit overnight the marshmallows will absorb the juices and melt in your mouth. If you don't want to use all of it at right away, you can put some back into your cool whip containers and freeze them!

Ma’an, The Authority of Social Contribution, will host a new space called the The Exchange at Yas Mall through to March 7.
The Exchange will serve as a platform to offer inspiration, free workshops and the chance to meet like-minded people who are passionate about helping others. Visitors can also learn more about Ma’an’s mission, discover volunteering opportunities and take steps toward fostering their own social enterprises.
“Abu Dhabi is full of potential budding social entrepreneurs who have the drive and the passion to give back to the community,” said Salama Al Ameemi, Ma’an’s director general. “Through launching The Exchange, our aim is to root Ma’an at the heart of the community and provide a platform that encourages social impact ideas and for good causes to flourish.”
The space will be divided into five different areas: “Join the Community,” “Get Inspired,” “Learn from Others,” “Make New Connections,” and “Get Involved.” There will be an exhibition outlining the story of Ma’an, as well as specialized workshop areas.
Visitors will get the chance to network, to attend talks and workshops, to browse inspiring books, to work on their own projects, and to meet future collaborators in the informal lounge space. Each of the following four weeks will feature a different theme, with talks and active workshops hosted by international expert speakers and social entrepreneurs.
Among the speakers: Chris West, partner at Sumerian Partners and recipient of 2013’s World Corporate Social Responsibility award for Social Innovation; Michael Green, chief executive of the Social Progress Imperative who was named among GQ’s 100 Most Connected Men in Britain in 2016; Tracey Austin, global head of impact investments at Palladium; and Jane Newman, international director of social finance and a board member of the European Venture Philanthropy Association.
The program for Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays will focus on creating positive community change and solving social challenges. Among the specific issues that will be addressed are reducing social isolation among the elderly and improving the inclusion of people of determination.
Tuesdays will feature Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Mornings and University Afternoons. Pre-booked sessions have been designed to engage and challenge CSR representatives and university students.
Wednesdays will focus on mental wellbeing, with panel discussions and mindfulness workshops aimed to help participants heal, meditate, practice yoga, and more.
Weekends will be family-friendly, catering to parents and children with arts and craft workshops. There will be storytelling sessions on Fridays and Saturdays delivered by Emirati artist Dana Al Mazrouie. Hosted in collaboration with Early Starters, young visitors will have the chance to hear stories read by their favorite authors. Sessions might also combine child-friendly yoga with calming storytelling.
“It is an inspiring space that will give Abu Dhabi’s aspiring impact-makers the opportunity to channel their visions and passion into projects that can make a lasting, positive change in our community,” said Al Ameemi.
“Whether you have an idea for a social business or want to make a difference through your company’s CSR budget or simply want to discover how you can help others in the community, The Exchange by Ma’an is the place to visit.”
Ma’an was established in 2019 by the Department of Community Development in Abu Dhabi. Its aim is to bring together the government, private sector and civil society to support a culture of social contribution and participation. Ma’an will support the “third sector” — or volunteer groups; it will help not-for-profit associations, foundations and social-enterprise groups contribute to the development of strong, active and connected communities. Ma’an is part of the Ghadan 21 program that is working to accelerate Abu Dhabi’s economy.

There’s nothing like a mouth-watering bowl of home-made pasta or a cheese covered pizza fresh from the wood oven. It’s no wonder Italian restaurants are a go-to choice when deciding where to dine for the evening.
Here are our top 3 picks for Italian restaurants in Toronto:
Recently frequented by First Lady Michelle Obama and our very own Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, Gusto 101 is our top Italian restaurant pick. “Gusto (pronounced Goo-sto) means tasty in Italian,” which perfectly sums up each dish on their menu. All one has to do is scroll through their Instagram account for mouthwatering ideas of what to order.
From its humble beginnings on Queen West, Terroni has grown to 7 locations in Toronto, becoming perhaps the most recognizable Italian establishment in the city. “Materia Prima” (meaning Raw Material) is what Terroni is all about. Each dish is created using the best raw ingredients, sourced globally by owner Cosimo Mammoliti himself.
With three locations in Downtown Toronto, foodies can’t go wrong with dinner at any of the Buca locations. Rated as one of Canada’s top restaurants, Buca creates exceptional Italian dishes with seasonal ingredients. A modern classic, balancing old-world dishes with new contemporary culinary ideas and techniques.

In Prattville, Alabama, "estate planning" refers to the process by which a person makes arrangements related to their property after their death. It can (and should) also encompass personal issues that might come up immediately before and after a person's death.
The drafting of a will, which simply states what you wish to be done with your property after death, is usually one of the most necessary parts of an estate plan. Of course, it's rarely the only one. There are many other things you might want to include, depending on your objectives.
A will is rarely the only aspect of a comprehensive estate plan. Most people have very strong preferences about their end-of-life care, especially when, and under what circumstances, they would want to be taken off life support, if that every happens. These wishes should be made in writing, and discussed with family. Additionally, preferences on organ donation and funeral arrangements should also be made clear.
Perhaps most vitally, your estate plan should make arrangements for the care and custody of your minor children, if you have any. Of course, you should discuss this matter with the person you intend to take custody of the children beforehand, to ensure that they are able and willing to provide proper care.
What Type of Estate Plan Do I Need in Prattville, Alabama?
This usually depends on your individual goals and priorities, your age, health, and the nature and quantity of your assets.
For instance, if you're unmarried, and in your early 20's, estate planning is probably not the most necessary thing in your life. However, if you're seriously ill, and/or unusually wealthy, estate planning might be a priority for you.
Individuals who are, for various possible reasons, unwilling or unable to get married, but are in committed, lifelong relationships, are perhaps most in need of a good Prattville, Alabama estate plan. Because couples who aren't married don't automatically get any of the legal rights (such as hospital visitation, inheritance rights, and power of attorney) that come with marriage, they have to secure these rights through other means, such as wills and power of attorney agreements.
Other groups for whom estate planning is very necessary in Prattville, Alabama are people who are elderly and/or have a lot of assets. This may be the point in one's life where estate planning is most necessary. While it's true that the process of making an estate plan requires a person to deal directly with the reality of their own mortality, it is extremely important if you value the security that comes with the knowledge that your family will be provided for.
Do I Need a Prattville, Alabama Estate Planning Attorney?
Because estate planning in Prattville, Alabama is not always simple, the assistance of a good attorney will almost certainly be useful, and worth the cost. This is doubly true because of how crucial the issues involved can be, and the fact that a relatively minor mistake can sometimes derail an entire estate plan.

We love a good rumor here at MovieViral, and this one is just as thin as our previous speculation regarding the Iron Man 2 teaser. Now, we have someone on IMDB claiming the teaser will premiere before Avatar…in New Zealand. Here’s what user “elektranz” says:
Hey, i work as a projectionist for a theater complex, Berkley Cinemas, in Auckland, New Zealand and we just got an email from Paramount today to say that they will be sending out the first trailers for Iron Man 2 and Shrek Forever After next week to be played before Avatar beginning Dec. 17. 🙂 just thought i’d pass along the good news.
Obviously, there are several issues with this rumor. First of all, IMDB itself is unreliable, and people posting on their forums are just as dubious. Not to mention it’s about the teaser’s international release, which could be different than it’s domestic release (though unlikely thanks to the Internet).
What do you think? Seeing the teaser earlier would be better, but I’m taking this with a grain of salt.
Iron Man 2 opens May 7th, 2010.

Sexy Long HairIs long hair always sexy?
A beautiful lady, whose long, luscious and shiny mane slides sexily down her back teasingly framing her perfect buttocks, may be a regular scene in a James Bond movie, but in real life it is a comparatively rare image. If a woman has been blessed with hair that can maintain health, vitality, shine and sex appeal when it is long, it is considered as the embodiment of femininity, fertility and beauty. Unlike the movies, if long hair is not maintained to a high standard, it can be lank, thin, dry, unattractive and definitely not sexy. Because long hair requires such high maintenance if it is to be considered sexy, there are numerous tips, steps and advice available to ensure sexy long hair is achieved.
How to make long hair sexy
If you are determined to persevere with long hair, there are certain styles which can give long locks the zest and life they often cry out for. Long hair can look it at its ‘limpest’ when left in a middle parting, which is the way long hair tends to naturally fall. Wearing the hair swept to one side can immediately eliminate lankness and dullness. Styling long hair to one side can also accentuate eyes and cheek bones. Do not be afraid to experiment with accessories to ‘glam up’ long hair and placing a pretty clip to one side will promote elegance, femininity and help you achieve sexy long hair. One of the great advantages long hair has over shorter hair cuts is the amount of different styling options available. There is something tremendously sexy about a long, luscious, shiny ponytail slithering down a woman’s back. Experiment by positioning ponytails at different heights. Buns and swoops provide elegance and chic and tend to give the face some vitality and lift, as well as assisting in the goal to achieving sexy long hair.
According to a recent poll, men find wavy, long locks the sexiest hair on a woman. To achieve the hair that the likes of Britain’s X-Factor judge Cheryl Cole and Friends actress Jennifer Aniston, seem to so effortlessly achieve, experiment with curlers, rollers and tongues. One of the greatest assets of long hair is its ability to be experimented with and manipulated, although be warned, the excessive use of heated appliances can dry out and damage long hair – use conservatively. Although long hair is extremely versatile, in order for it to be sexy, it needs to correspond with many different factors, including the physical characteristics and individual lifestyle of the woman. The shape of a face, a woman’s figure, texture and thickness of her hair, her eye color and skin tone all need to be considered when deciding which style to go for to optimize sexy long hair. Lifestyle traits are equally as important. What are your personal time constraints? Do you have the hairdressing ability to maintain the same style you walked out of the salon with? Do you have the finances to maintain your long locks? Personalities and careers also come into the equation. Do long, wavy locks suit a businesswoman competing with men? Or is hair grown to the bottom practical for women in the medical profession or in a kitchen? Sexiness is not solely about being aesthetically pleasing on the eye, as to be considered sexy, realism and common sense needs to prevail. Nobody wants their soup to be strewn with hairs, no matter how sexy the woman may be who is serving it.
How to take care of long hair to retain its sexiness
Long hair demands more care and attention to maintain than short hair. Simply growing your hair, washing it several times a week, and brushing it every morning will not ensure for a sexy long mane. There are several steps you can follow which will help preserve a sexy head of long and lavish locks. Because long hair is more prone to breakages and split ends, refrain from brushing it when it is still wet. If you do brush it use a wide toothed comb to minimize the chances of breakages. Wash long hair frequently, preferably every two days, as hair which is long is more susceptible to becoming greasy, and hair which is greasy does definitely not equate to sexy hair. Use a high quality conditioner designed specifically for your hair type to keep your long hair in good condition and to minimize dry or frizzy ends, which can often plague longer locks. Leave-on conditioners are a good option for longer hair, as they help keep the hair smooth as well as making combing easier.

Commentary on Matthew 1:18-25View Bible Text
With its focus on Joseph as the chief character, Matthew’s unique story of Jesus’ birth will probably not be the model for any children’s Christmas pageant, in many of which Joseph seems to walk in the shadows as a necessary,
if somewhat embarrassing, appendage. In contrast, Matthew’s narrative takes great pains to identify Joseph as the father of Jesus, tracing out his link to King David in the elaborate genealogy that opens the gospel. And in our lesson, even if Jesus’ birth is clearly a miracle of God’s power through the Spirit, still Joseph is the real father, who by naming the child according to God’s command, in effect adopts this child as his own. That adoption is no mere fiction, but becomes Matthew’s way of ushering us into the mystery of the incarnation, apart from which this Jesus could not stand in the line of Davidic ancestry. If the mystery of the “word becoming flesh and dwelling among us” (John 1:14) were not enough, Matthew’s story is a veritable cornucopia of Matthean themes that could occupy the preacher for this Sunday or through the year.
Genesis and New Creation
Though disguised in translations, twice (1:1, 18) Matthew describes what is happening in Jesus as a “genesis,” a creation. This verbal link invites reflection on the place of this story in the story of God’s creative work from the beginning. In the first story, the Spirit of God moved over the face of the deep. God spoke and the world came into being. Here again by the Spirit and promise of God a new creation comes into being. How far is God willing to go in order to make good on God’s promises? Even to the point of doing creation all over again? Early Christians frequently imagined the Christ event, especially the resurrection of Jesus, as the eighth day of creation. What would it mean for the preacher to invite us Christians in this modern technologically savvy world to reflect on what happens in this Jesus as God’s continuing act of sustaining creation?
Incarnation and Mystery
If God acts to create, it is precisely in this world that God meets us and works out the particular shapes and stories of mercy. Matthew’s birth story underscores the common places of life-a Mary, a Joseph, the birth of a child; people faced with decisions involving religious traditions, law, and community or having to do with marriage, family or a decision to divorce-as the arenas in which God surprisingly enters human life with creative and transforming power. If God comes among the common and the everyday, the preacher can be the one who is able to point us to those everyday signs of God’s presence which are in some sense an extension of the great sign of God’s coming in the birth of this child of promise.
Obedience and Faith
Joseph, the central character in this story, is no wishy-washy person, but a person of strength and purpose. He is committed and faithful to his religious tradition and ready to act on that commitment. When the call of God comes to him through an angel in a dream, he is not just ruminating; he has already made a definite decision, “resolved” upon a course of action. Told against the backdrop of Old Testament stories of others to whom God’s call has come, this story is noticeably different. When the call comes, Joseph speaks not one word either of question or objection. He simply acts directly and immediately in obedient response to the call. Both in the original and in translation, the story makes this clear by describing Joseph’s actions of response with exactly the same words as used in the angel’s instructions. Joseph becomes visibly and audibly an example of the power of God’s call to transform our decisions and our lives. So here at the beginning, he is a model of faithful discipleship long before we hear Jesus’ commission at the end to “Go and make disciples” of all nations.
Joseph makes his decision to divorce Mary because he is righteous (19). Here in this story we meet explicitly for the first time an important theme of Matthew’s gospel. We are meant to ask, “What does righteousness look like?” And we are given a model of righteousness in Joseph’s faithful response to God’s call. The story also makes clear that this is no easy matter for Joseph or for us. What Joseph initially understands as the righteous thing to do is challenged directly by the call of God to act precisely opposite to what he saw and expected the law to demand. What happens when our notions of righteousness and justice come up against the ways of God’s creative mercy? In Joseph we meet one who risks becoming disobedient in the eyes of the world-becoming an outcast to family and community-dare we say, even becoming sinful and suffering-for the sake of being obedient to God’s call. So the story invites us to think of another in this story who became sin for us, that the promises of God might take shape in new creative power. When law and righteousness or justice seem to clash, how deep do the promises of God go? How far will discipleship lead us?
Of Dreams and Decisions
At every stage of this story, Joseph’s decisions are prompted by God’s intervention through a dream. As we prepare for Christmas and to receive this child we, too, might ask what happens when God is an intrusion into our nicely laid plans and decisions? How do we know when God is speaking to us and when it is just bad food? Depending on your perspective, intervention can be the good news of rescue or deliverance, or it can be just plain meddling. In Advent we pray, “Stir up your power, Lord, and come.” Are we really ready to risk that such a prayer might be answered? To be open to this story means to invite the possibility that obedient discipleship may transform us and lead us in ways we had never imagined.
Promise and Fulfillment
This story is not all surprise. Matthew more than any other gospel writer presents the story of Jesus as fulfilling what was spoken through the prophets. The first of those many references occurs in this story. The miraculous birth and the name “Immanuel,” God is with us, are scripted by God promises. That promise begins this story and stands again at its conclusion, “Remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Jesus is for Matthew the fulfillment of all of God’s promises. And God’s promises frame this story just as they frame each day of our lives.
What’s in a Name?
The angel says, “You are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” This is serious business. We belong to God and God will be with God’s people. But just how far God is willing to go is left to our imaginations at this point in the story. But let it whet the appetite of hope. If even just the contemplation of that promise can so radically change of the life of even a righteous person, just imagine what its fulfillment in the story of Jesus might do in your life and mine!
By the Power of the Spirit
Robert Smith sums up this story well in his Augsburg Commentary (p. 36). This Jesus is “pure gift, holy surprise, a fresh act of God, a new genesis, a new creation.” And all it comes about “from the Holy Spirit.” We live with the awareness that God’s power is among us and ready to lead us in ways that we can only imagine. Is that good news, or is the prospect a bit frightening? If we do not anticipate the Christmas event both with hope and with just a bit of anxious fear, then we are not sufficiently tuned to the implications of God’s presence among us.

Discussion in 'News and Announcements' started by Roshen, Sep 28, 2016.
Was not! She was reborn!!!
Having a casual beer during a reveal session is not a problem with me, hell I cracked one open myself. As someone already said it wasn't a share holders meeting and I reckon it was also a message on how that meeting was planned, expected and the pace was set on purpose. Not everyone would appreciate it and that's also fine. Maybe that will change tomorrow. /shrug no big deal in my book.
I didn't see any disdain in the body language of Holly. I thought she portrayed a great message of casual management but had a firm respect from her team. I read it as dedication to producing good content and quality but above all making it fun for the team and us the player base.
As for crashing.....I have crashed out once in the last two years. The rest of the times its been the server AB and its hamsters running the dynamo ...... Drivers and patches - that's all I can say about that.
Level increase......well the focus on a lot of items has changed to 110....not sure if folks have noticed that and lets not forget that Kunark was a 10 level jump in its day.......maybe a red herring but personally I'm fine with both situations. Content and AA and spells will be challenging to say the least if no level increase but I was pretty happy with the new content and 5 and 9 aug slots for armour.
I think the future gimmicks for EQ will be to introduce a form of low level multi classing like the old D&D did. 105 wizard and lvl 50 mage/clr/brd/shm etc..... Could be an interesting dynamic to rummage for the devs.
I still am waiting for nesting of the door to anywhere.....and being able to have more that three plots!
I have a standard 3 room house Ivy bridge point 102 market street with a door to my Evantils Abode 102 Market street. This tree house has two doors - one back to 101 Market street that works fine with another door that is SUPPOSED to go to 103 Market Heights to my Bixie Hive house but instead sends me back to 101 .........please fix the nesting of the door to anywhere.
Also...please fix the wizard spell teleport group.....if its cast in the same zone, it bugs all other ports....only the fifth or so year I'm mentioning this.
How about opening the manastone to all zones now for lvl 100 plus? It returns such little mana that its only in dire circumstances that it can be used by high lvl players.
Translocate hero - a spell that mages should get. They target a player and they swap positions. This can be helpful for wizards that need to set binds in tricky places. Not much to exploit but can be a major time saver for high levels.
And who's idea was it to charge mana for aa abilities like the wizards force range!!?? That's just nonsense. We've been here many times before so please read this slowly...... If.....its.......too.....powerful...don't.......friggen...... give it in the first place. It would have been better to lower the dmg than make it take mana. Those who use them and have skills with mana will not be affected....much except with an annoyance factor now. The bulk of other players will just not use them.....way to go to design something that now wont be used.....just plain daft in my book. Of course if the new expansion brings them back in some form not using mana we will just say.....typical pre- expansion nerf
Looking forward to it! Been having a lot of fun with TBM and can't wait to see what you guys have planned for EoK.
Can any ask if EoK will have global rare loot?
No more level increases. 100->105 was already a mistake.
TBM group gear was overpowered, as it was equal or beating TDS raid gear.
I lol at many things you tried to find, to not speak of the massive advantages it had, massive advantages that counterpart easily the things you said. And some of them listed are really "minor". One more delay on a war weapon ? woot that's a big downgrade.
It's the first time ever that a group current gear expansion was as good or better than former raid gear TBM group gear tanks having same AC than TDS raid gear tanks, something is wrong.
I have never got sympathy for people that complained that legs and BP was less good than TDS ones, when all the other slots were way better. Of course, never been mentionned by these people.
So yes, TBM group gear was overpowered compared to TDS raid gear.
yea then look at TBM raid gear fully auged.. talk about overpowered..
TBM raid gear better than TDS raid gear ? Well yay that's intended. Did you know that it's the rule that a new expansion raid gear is better than former expansion raid gear ?
Never been the rule that new expansion group gear was better than former expansion raid gear though.
so many people have like these blinders on.. if your only looking at HEM. more importantly either HP or Just Mana you will think OMG this gear is so good..
Dont kid your self and dont lie. just cause you a big bag of mana or HP dont mean your anywhere near as good as TDS raid gear.. or even CoTF raid gear.
Seriously look at other stats other than one..
Then take a look at TBM raid gear and how many alts of alts of a mains pet dog have TBM raid gear.
if you are wearing TBM group gear over TDS raid gear.
I posted before in a post 9 months ago that a set of TBM non visible group gear had 248 more AC than a set of TDS non visible raid gear.
The Heroic also in total on TBM group gear is better or at worst equal to TDS raid gear.
What does the fact to have alts geared with TBM raid gear have to do with balancing group stats ?
In how much time you can gather a full set of group gear versus a full set of raid gear ?
Are necro dots being revamped or was this entire process scrapped after completing it for a few classes?
I am on EQ Facebook page. I don't see a stream.
refresh its their
Ok. It works now.
Did they they confirm whether or not there would be a level increase?
No level increase.
Which is very disappointing.
Paid for the pre-order, cannot see beta forums to download beta patcher. Refreshing does nothing. Yep, working as intended.
Sure, I can go to eqresource, but why can't they get their **** done right here?
Same issue, only got the e-mail on one of my accounts too. Trying to boot up my laptop because it has the old patcher on it, but Windows 10 is updating... of course.
Separate names with a comma.

On June 4, 2013 at approximately 3:24 p.m. LVMPD Patrol Officers responded to a residence in the 1600 block of Little Crow Avenue in south central Las Vegas to investigate reports an individual had been shot.
Arriving officers located a teen-aged girl suffering from what appeared to be a single gunshot wound. The victim was transported to the UMC Trauma Center where she later died of her injuries.
The preliminary investigation into this incident by LVMPD Homicide investigators has indicated this appears to be a tragic accident. The weapon in this event came from inside of the residence, and was being held by another teenage girl at the time it discharged.
At this time it is anticipated no charges will be filed in connection with this tragic event.
The identity of the deceased and the cause and manner of death will be released by the Clark County Coroner’s Office.
Anyone with any information concerning this event should contact the LVMPD Homicide Section at 828-3521 or Crime Stoppers by phone at 385-5555 or on the internet at www.crimestoppersofnv.com.

The popular Nap Nanny baby recliners have caused five deaths and dozens of injuries as parents in the United States and Canada are urged not to use the product made by Baby Matters LLC, a Belgian company that went under earlier this month.
Since 2009, there have been over 155,000 of the companies recliners sold. Four major retailers have agreed to pull the remaining recliners off store shelves, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.
Health Canada, the Federal department responsible for helping Canadians maintain and improve their health, while respecting individual choices and circumstances has stated that they have not had any reports of injuries about the recliner.
According to the CPSC, the recall covers Nap Nanny Generations One and Two, and the Chill model infant recliners.
“The Nap Nanny contains defects in its design, warnings and instructions. The agency said the product poses a substantial risk of injury and death to infants,” the CPSC warning said.
The CPSC has received more than 70 incident reports of children getting trapped by or nearly falling out of the recliners, the agency said. Three commissioners from the CPSC unanimously voted to file a complaint against Baby Matters LLC after they failed to acquire an adequate recall plan.
The four retailers — Amazon.com, Buy Buy Baby, Diapers.com and Toys R Us/Babies R Us — agreed voluntarily to pull the product, the agency said.

UPDATE: ROCKFORD (WIFR) – An appeals court is siding with a local judge, in determining whether murder charges should be dropped against Antwan Maxey.
Judge Ronald White dropped the charges because prosecutors didn't bring the case against Maxey quickly enough. Prosecutors appealed, arguing it was Maxey's attorney who pushed back the original trial date. They also said once the 120 days had passed, Maxey should have been let out of jail on bond, but the charges should not have been dropped. The appeals court disagreed, siding with Judge White.
Maxey was accused of killing Charles Spivey in January 2011. He's still in jail for running from police.
UPDATE: ROCKFORD (WIFR) – The Rockford man who got off the hook on murder charges will go to prison after all. Today, Antwan Maxey was sentenced to 3 and a half years, plus a year of parole for running from police. You may recall, Maxey was accused of killing Charles Spivey but those charges were dropped last year when prosecutors couldn’t bring a case against him quickly enough. The Winnebago County State’s Attorney has appealed the decision to drop the case. These lesser charges will keep Maxey behind bars while they go through that process.
UPDATE: Accused murderer Antwan Maxey is going to prison. You may recall he was a suspect in the shooting death of Charles Spivey, but charges were dropped because prosecutors couldn't bring the case to trial quick enough. He plead guilty today to running from police. He faces up to six years in prison and will be sentenced next month.
ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- There was a chance a Rockford man who's been accused of murder, could have walked free today. But thanks to Judge Patrick Heaslip, he'll be staying in the Winnebago County Jail until at least January.
Maxey's lawyer tried to convince the judge that prosecutors messed up by waiting a year and a half to charge him with a crime. But today the judge said prosecutors didn't do anything wrong.
You may remember Maxey was charged with killing a man in January 2011. He got off on that charge because prosecutors took too long to get the case to trial.
Police re-arrested him for running from police last month - for a crime that allegedly occurred a year and a half ago. His lawyers argued the delayed arrest violated his due process rights. The trial date is now set for January 22nd, which has a special significance for the murder victim's family.
"That's the day that my brother got killed so I feel that it's a sign that he's talking to us and it's all gonna go in god's favor,” said Alexi Spivey, the victim’s sister.
The family of the man he allegedly killed is obviously relieved he's not getting out just yet. They have been at every single court hearing for the last two years.
Prosecutors are appealing that case, but that could take a while. Maxey faces a 6-year sentence with this new charge.

A few years ago, in our Sunday school class, the ladies studied out of a book entitled ‘God’s Portrait of a Beautiful Woman‘ by Dorthy Davis. GOD’s Portrait; not A portrait…implying that any portrait will do, not Benny’s portrait, nor is it even my portrait. God’s portrait of a beautiful woman! Would she look like me? Would she look like you? Maybe, she looked liked Ruth, when she told Naomi in Ruth 1:1
“Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God.
More than likely, she looked like Hannah, when she realized in 1 Samuel 2:2
“No one is holy like the Lord, For there is none besides You, Nor is there any rock like our God.
Perhaps she looked liked Esther, when she uttered the words in Esther 4:16
“Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!”
Oh, but I’m so sure, she looked like Mary, when she told the angel Gabriel in Luke 1:38
“Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word…”
These ladies all had one thing in common; SURRENDER! I suppose then, that the only way to become God’s portrait of a beautiful woman is to surrender to Him. We do that by spending time with Him and obeying His Word.
He is shaping, molding and remaking us into His very image. His portrait of a beautiful woman is lovely, from the inside out. Proverbs 31:30 condenses what that looks like, ‘…a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised’. God’s portrait demands complete obedience to His Word. When we fail to obey, My friend, believe me, He has already made provision for our failure, by providing forgiveness.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who have taken the time to follow the blog. I am humbled by your comments and likes on the posts. May the Lord be honored on this adventure.
Have a blessed day and remember: God’s love is unfailing, unwavering and unconditional!
If the world’s standard was the criterion, would you be chosen, as a portrait of a beautiful woman?

Starbucks' employee drive
To be yourself at work and have the confidence to do so is an ambition that Lisa Robbins, UK HR director at Starbucks, wants all the coffee giant’s employees to embody. As part of its agenda to drive a spirit of inclusivity, the organisation refers to staff members as “partners”, while recruiting for attitude and training for skill are at the top of its agenda.
Having been in the role for just over a year, part of Robbins’ mission is to help Starbucks become the coffee industry’s employer of choice, a goal that she admits is ambitious. Steps so far have included plugging the future talent pipeline with service driven talent, changing the “last resort” perception of careers in retail, and becoming actively involved in community schemes to enhance the employability of young people.
“We [businesses] need to work harder on raising awareness about the careers available within our sectors and the different pathways into work,” she says.
Engaging with young people
Starbucks has around 750 stores nationally, while half of its 7,500 employees are under 25 years of age. “Our business is based on young people, so we have a real duty to help prepare them for work,” says Robbins.
While she acknowledges that Starbucks is perceived as a “cool brand” that attracts a lot of applicants, she is keen to emphasise the “responsibility”, as she sees it, of large employers to encourage young people to consider different types of careers. She believes they must help candidates gain the kinds of skills that are applicable for roles in these areas. “It’s not OK just to be complacent because we’re an attractive brand,” she says. “We need to do more – and so does the rest of business.”
Robbins’ passion is profound and she’s deeply frustrated by what she describes as the “chicken-and-egg scenario” – where if young people do not have any skills or experience, they are unlikely to get a foot in the door with employers. Part of her objective is to “think outside the box” and drive several initiatives to help young people enhance their employability.
Encouraging employment through volunteering
For the past year, Starbucks has been working closely with the London-based volunteering programme Headstart.
The scheme encourages 16- and 17-year-olds to become active in their community doing something they enjoy, while giving them the skills to succeed in the workplace.
Participants undertake 16 hours of volunteer work, then join an employability workshop to learn how their new skills can be articulated in a job interview. This leads to a guaranteed interview with Starbucks or fashion retailer New Look.
“If they are successful we can offer them a job – but this is not the driver,” insists Robbins. “We want to help young people get interview experience and tangible feedback, so they are clear about how to sell themselves – wherever they choose to work.
“We want to hire people who are enthusiastic, who think for themselves, who can work as a team and who have confidence,” she says. “Volunteering can help people develop those skills which are valuable to any workplace.” She argues that employers should look beyond “traditional” assessment methods. On-thej-ob trials, for example, give candidates the opportunity to see what life as a barista is really like, while allowing Starbucks to assess candidates’ attitudes and motivations.
In June of this year, Lord Young released the report Enterprise for All, which aims to link the relevance of enterprise in education. Young advocates the introduction of a new ‘Enterprise Passport’ – a digital record of all extra-curricular and enterprise-related activities that students participate in during education – representing a differentiator for employers seeking ‘proven’ employability skills.
Of those that complete the volunteering and employability workshops, four out of five are hired by Starbucks. Since only one in five interviewees for the company are ordinarily successful, Robbins believes this is a win-win situation for both the organisation and young people themselves. “It’s helping young people be more equipped to be successful – and to be confident about their experience,” she explains.
On the back of this success, Starbucks has guaranteed 50 jobs in the next tranche. “It didn’t take long to realise the benefit. We want to do more,” she says. Although currently limited to London, Robbins is also keen to replicate this model elsewhere. “I would love to see this expand,” she says. “We should absolutely use our scale for greater good.”
Partnering in local communities
One such community partnership is currently piloting in London, where Starbucks works closely with Westminster College to help those already in education enhance their employability skills. Experienced partners from the local districts – from store managers to district managers – offer mentoring guidance to students.
“We want to help students understand how to develop their skills for interview. Experienced leaders from the company meet students who have had no exposure to the world of work to help them understand it,” explains Robbins.
Although just three months in, she is confident about the scheme’s success and hopes to replicate it in other areas of the UK. “Feedback from the young people has been phenomenal,” she enthuses. “They feel more equipped to go out into the world of work or make a different career choice.”
As well as community partnerships, Starbucks runs its own Youth Action Programme, in collaboration with charity UK Youth. This investment programme gives seed funding, training and backing to young people running projects in their communities across the UK.
This year, Starbucks has provided over £300,000 in funding to support an estimated 150 community projects across Britain.
Robbins adds: “We have linked with the National Citizenship Service this year and expanded the programme to reach more than 10,000 under-25s. This means NCS graduates have the opportunity to build on their community project or to start a new one, supported by £2,000 seedcorn funding.”
Influencing the influencers
Underpinning Robbins’ commitment to this whole agenda is a vehement belief that those with influence – particularly parents and teachers – must be educated in the realities of career paths so they can have more informed conversations with young people. She is particularly concerned about “old-fashioned” perceptions of the retail and hospitality sector, which she argues can be hugely damaging to young people’s career aspirations.
“People think: ‘Starbucks is OK as a holiday job but you wouldn’t want to make a career out of working there.’ I want to change that,” she says.
Starbucks’ career paths allow people to progress quickly if they are capable and have the right attitude, Robbins believes. She is keen to point out that neither background nor qualifications are limiting factors: “Anyone can become a supervisor or manager.”
She is adamant that the organisation’s route to work is about opportunity for all, with interviews for in-store positions based on attitude and service capability. Robbins is sceptical about introducing an in-store graduate scheme as she feels this might become a barrier to some people applying.
“Unless you have the right attitude and values, you won’t succeed, regardless of how experienced you are technically,” she says.
While more businesses are investing heavily in their future talent through offering traineeships and apprenticeships, Robbins believes that perceptions of vocational qualifications as “the easy option” still prevail.
Starbucks introduced apprenticeships in 2012 and will have 1,000 in place by the end of this year across the UK. “We now offer Levels 2 and 3 in hospitality and service, which is equivalent to five GCSEs at grades A*-C (Level 2) and two A levels (Level 3),” says Robbins. “I’m now seeing our first apprentices being promoted to store managers.”
She recalls a previous graduation which, like any event within Starbucks, was opened with a coffee-tasting workshop, this time led by an apprentice.
“The young lady got up and delivered the session with such passion and conviction,” says Robbins. “Her parents approached me afterwards and said: ‘We can’t thank you enough for giving our daughter a chance. We thought she would never be employable as she had no confidence, but to see her standing there because of the experience you have given her is amazing.’
“Stories like this show we are making a big difference to young people. That girl could have ended up as a NEET [not in education, employment or training] statistic, and once you’re there, it’s so difficult to get out. We’re also changing perceptions – this shows the responsibility we have as an employer to help people make informed choices.”
Global work experience
Next, Robbins is looking to introduce work experience opportunities. Meanwhile, she reveals that the coffee giant is offering a unique six-week placement for the son of one of the company’s coffee farmers from Rwanda. He will spend time in stores, with a district manager and in its support centre. Robbins is hugely excited by the initiative and hopes this will provide the impetus to introduce work experience more locally.
“His father contacted us and asked if he could come and learn more about the coffee industry,” she explains. “He sees first-hand how the beans are grown and harvested, but beyond that it’s all rather unknown.
“If we put process before judgement, we might say, ‘this isn’t possible, we don’t do work experience.’ But it’s a great opportunity to strengthen the partnerships we have with young people across the world.”
While Robbins acknowledges the “slow realisation” among employers that businesses have to be more accountable for skills in the younger population, she argues that much more needs to be done.
“There are lots of organisations that are active in their local communities but it’s not enough,” she says, expressing concern that the recent uplift in the labour market could propel businesses into a state of “complacency” when it comes to hiring young people.
So what is her message to other business leaders on this agenda? “You can’t afford not to get involved,” she argues. “Young people are our future workforce. You can’t just rely on traditional routes into employment. People’s lifestyle changes are shaping their choices about employment and if we don’t help early on, the situation will just get worse.
“The impact I have seen in Starbucks is amazing – I wouldn’t have thought it was possible. Helping young people get into these jobs and seeing them progress is incredibly rewarding.”

1. Starting with the obvious, Chris Pratt continued to look hot in 2016.
2. And we were so very blessed to witness another year of all of THIS:
4. Acting-wise, we got to see Chris as a cowboy in Magnificent 7.
5. Naturally there were some incredible press tour moments including Nick Offerman asking about the size of Chris Pratt’s “hog.”
7. Besides Mag 7, we also got to see Chris play a mechanic in Passengers.
9. Plus, the press tour provided us with some serious gems. Like Chris Pratt cropping Jennifer Lawrence out of his photos for two weeks.
12. His interactions with J. Law were great, but it was the moments with his wife, Anna Faris, that really made ya swoon.
13. Like when Dave Bautista taught Chris how to powerbomb her and it was low-key hot.
14. Recently he bought Anna a new engagement ring — just because!
16. Chris also kept it up with the dad goals this year, like when he taught Jack how to fish.
18. As with previous years, Chris also spent time with the kids at Seattle Children’s hospital.
19. And made a special stop at the NICU to visit the premature babies.
His caption read: “Ever since Jack’s premature birth, we have a special affinity for the NICU (neo-natal intensive care unit). Today I spent a little time with Coen and Zion, twins who were born too early only a pound and a half each. Thank you to the doctors and nurses at @seattlechildrens. The boys are doing fine.”
20. Chris also made time for the men and women in uniform.
21. And of course, he never forgot his fans.
22. He even commented on a stranger’s Reddit post about his weight loss.
23. Despite another year of fame and success, Chris still seems so humble.
24. He just always makes it a point to stay true to his values.
25. And we are literally so lucky that he shares it all with us.
26. Thanks Chris Pratt for another year of laughs and overall awesomeness.
27. What did we do to deserve you?

Happy birthday Anushkha Sharma: This is how a fan wants to dress you
Retro fun with a dash of pin-up sexiness, these looks designed exclusively for Anushka by class 12 student from Delhi and future fashion pro Avantika will catch your eyes.Updated: May 01, 2016 16:53 IST
Anushkha Sharma turns 28 today.
It’s the actor’s big day, and we want to make her feel like the only girl in the world! But we’re not quite sure what to get Anushka a.k.a. the girl who has everything: Looks, money, fame, lifestyle and a love affair India can’t get enough of.
So, because we love her style so much, we asked 17-year-old Avantika Pathania -- a Class 12 student from Delhi and die-hard Anushka fan — to ‘dress’ our birthday girl. After all, the beauty queen-turned-actor-turned-producer is renowned for her uniquely experimental style (and that enviably toned body).
Retro fun with a dash of pin-up sexiness, these looks are sure to grab your attention.
Oh! And Anushka, if you’re reading this, do sit down and take note because our future fashion pro went a little out-of-the-box on colour and even designed an Afro-meets-Mexicana jumpsuit. Enjoy!
The Jab Tak Hai Jaan-star is no wallflower when it comes to fashion, but she is sure to wow with these sassy but sophisticated bombshell-like looks. The outfits have cool-girl detailing, complete with exposed midriff and matchy-matchy looks pulled together to give them a serious character. Anushka will look flirty and feminine in these big-on-stripes gown. And because she does colour like no other, the bright shades give them her own edgy signature touch.
The floor-length evening gown should be saved for special occasions, such as an evening out with a special someone (ahem) or an upscale cocktail party. So, flowy, printed and striped, dresses like these can be Anushka’s perfect outfit to flaunt at a spring wedding, fancy brunch, or a romantic date. We can’t wait to see the actor in such very versatile, over-the-top sexy and chic gowns.
Over-the-top sexy gowns are not your thing, Anushka? Then, may we interest you in these big-city-girl-ready-to-paint-the-town-red ensembles? They are perfect for a day date with your guy. After all, who knows what kind of activities you’ll get into if you’re having fun! And when you are done with all the glam outfits, we’d love it if you wore more toned down jumpsuits and rocker chic Chinese collar dresses. These show just the right amount of skin.
Now some juice on the artist behind all the lovely sketches...
Avantika Pathania is all of 16 years! A serious Anushka Sharma fan, the aspiring fashion designer is a Class 12 student at Apeejay School, Noida. She loves listening to — wait for it — Korean and Mandarin music! She loves reading books on mythology, and keeps an eye out for all astrology-related dope. The one true reason she loves Anushka is for her ‘out-of-the-world’ and innocent smile (spoken like a true fan!). Her message to Anushka and all her fans: Love, like and share this story.

Designers have come up with a pair of shorts to help women drop two dress sizes in just two weeks.
Made using Celu-Lite technology, the hotpants reduce fat and the appearance of cellulite in thighs by increasing perspiration by up to 80 per cent.
During a two-week trial, 19 out of the 20 women reported losing inches after wearing these hotpants every day for 30 minutes.
Average results showed a loss of 10-12 lbs in weight in just two weeks.
The pair of shorts that cost 44.99 pounds can be worn indoors or out, in bed at night or during the day, on their own or under clothes.
Around 100,000 pairs having already been sold in 10 weeks.
Designer Malcolm Bell created the shorts after his wife Dessi struggled to find an effective solution in the market that would help her get more out of her workout.
"It's been such a fantastic response, we're quite overwhelmed," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.
"Women just seem to love the idea - we've created an exciting product that actually works and a sense of community where it's ok to talk about your problem areas!" he added.

ALSO SORRY IF THIS IS IN THE WRONG SECTION. No idea where to post this. D:
I have asked this idea in a different forum before but I didn't get a response so I was hoping I get some feedbacks from here. ^^;
//you can skip to the bottom for my actual question.
You see, I've been thinking a lot lately about joining the Artist Alley, but how horribly complicated it is for me to actually get a tablet nowadays (Especially due to me never making it in or have enough NEW examples xD). So I thought, what would be a good way to advertise? Then I began browsing the deviant art and saw a lot of Charity Journals and Artbooks and thought, "I want to contribute to this... But how would I do it?"
A lot of these kind of advertisement are looking for artists with professionalism or uniqueness in which I don't have (Since I'm one of those generic anime artist) and that's what got me thinking; "What if I gave away free keychains to those at the con itself?"
I understand it's hard for some people to get art because they are low on budget, or like some, don't have a pass to get into the con. But at the same time, isn't it nice to get something free every now and then?
Of course, I won't be drawing EVERY popular anime, but mostly what I cosplay or what my friends cosplay as.
For example, I'm going as Add from Elsword (And two others that I won't state yet).
So I have a preview of a chibi sketch that I'll be handing out at Kumoricon 2014. ADD Chibi
Budget will be a problem for me, so I'm thinking of what ways to keep this going. I want everyone to have a great time at the con (And to bring a smile here and there), so getting a little keychain every now and then would be kind of awesome right? I was thinking of doing the Convention's Mascot, but I didn't think it would be right because I want to cosplay things I like, y'know?
I'll be making it more fun by having people answer questions about
1. Where I'm from (Like what anime or game).
2. What character I am
Sure it wouldn't be stuff OTHER people would like, but hey, who can complain about free things? ^^
I wanted to ask for donations if possible ONLY at the con, but then it would be like asking to buy my art which I thought would be the complete opposite of what I want!
So do you think this would be a good idea?
What ways can I keep this going?
Should I do more popular animes?
Would this cause any problem for other artists? (More of a sense like competition. I'm not trying to steal costumers or anything, but I want to know if this will become a real problem D: )

Chinese vs. English:
Two of the most spoken vernaculars in the world are also the official languages of the most powerful countries. China is one of the strongest economies in the world today. Every multinational company wishes to succeed in the market of China. The same can be said for America, which is a favorite country of many people. Although a debate has started in recent years about the American Dream, many people still wish to immigrate to the country. When the situation in your homeland is not ideal, every other place looks better in your mind. For most people, the thought of moving to another country keeps them going in life.
English is the most widely spoken vernacular. Most of its speakers learned it as their second language. It is the tongue people learn to survive in the world because it is important in every walk of life. Chinese, on the other hand, is valuable because it is the only way to connect with almost a billion people in the world. It is the only vernacular that most of its speakers know, which is why companies have to use it to connect with their audience. Chinese is known for being unique and complicated, while English is easy to learn.
Birth Certificate Translation:
Many people wish to immigrate to other countries, but with each passing year, the process of immigration becomes harder to get through. People have to fulfill the requirement in order to have a shot at getting approval from the immigration office. Those who wish to immigrate to the US have to memorize and fulfill the requirements of USCIS. One of the requirements is to submit your birth certificate along with your application. But if it is not in English, then its certified translation must also be submitted with it. This complicated type of translation is not something that the internet or your bilingual relative can help you with.
Chinese to English Birth Certificate Translation Facts:
If you are applying for US immigration from China, you will need to get your documents translated into English. But there are a few things that every applicant must know about linguistic services. Here are a few Chinese to English birth certificate translation facts:
- Certified Translation Only:
If you think that you can submit any kind of translation to USCIS, then you are mistaken. A document that does not come with the signed statement of the translator will be rejected straight away. In order to avoid rejection, you must only submit the right type of documents. USCIS only accepts certified translations. It must be accurate and come with the signed statement of the expert who completed it. Their contact details must also be mentioned in the document.
- Native Translators:
There are a lot of things about the language industry that most people are unaware of. It is true that every expert who has spent years in the industry will be qualified to handle complicated documents, but it is only the native translators who can accurately translate a language. Native speakers understand their vernacular better than non-natives. Everyone knows that childhood is the best time for a person to learn a tongue; this is why the bond formed with one’s native vernacular always remains the strongest. Since Chinese is such a complex tongue, only a native translator can handle it and does a good job of turning it into English.
- Reliable Agency:
It will be difficult to find a reliable, independent expert. But when it comes to agencies, it is easier to be certain about the kind of services they provide. People leave reviews about the services of agencies. These reviews can help you figure out the quality of an agency’s work. If they have all the positive reviews, that means they provide satisfactory services to all of their clients. The internet is amazing in what it can do for us. When you look up the names of agencies, you can easily find their reviews online too. This way, you will be able to decide on a name easily.
- Price Matters:
Many people think that they have to pay more for something of high quality. But when it comes to the language industry, that isn’t true. You do not have to pay a huge sum to get a certified translation. As long as you can find a reliable and good agency that cares about its customers, you won’t have to empty your pockets to get the service you require. If you are confused about two agencies, you can compare their rates to figure out which one you should go with. Just because someone is providing you with a certified translation doesn’t mean they have to charge a huge sum for it. All good agencies charge fairly for high-quality services, and even a certified translation does not cost much when you order from them.
It can be quite confusing to get in touch with an agency for the first time. But if you picked the right company, they will be able to walk you through the process and alleviate all of your confusion about it. When you become familiar with the process and develop an understanding of the linguistic services, you will begin to appreciate the work of translators a bit more. It will also help you in the future. Whenever you require a translation again in your life, you will reach out to a reliable agency with your concerns and get their linguistic help.

There are many ways to capture your screen. You can 'Prt Scr' (press a key on your keyboard), do a cut and paste, or use a screen capture program. Some of them are free and some are not. Photoscape, along with its many other features, has a screen capture utility.
1Open Photoscape directly over this screen, the best option is to have opened photoscape previously, and when ready click 'photoscape' from the taskbar.Ad
2Click on the Screen Capture Icon.
3Select what you want to do. You can capture the whole screen or just a part of it.Choose whether to 'Copy to Clipboard' or 'Open at the tab of Editor'. What that does is open it up in Photoscape for you to edit appropriately.Once completed, click on the corner (the X) and close the dialog box.
4Save your file and do with it what you want.Ad
We could really use your help!
- Leave the 'Sound' check box checked. It is an audible clue as to when the capture is done.

In a Bronco with Geologist Dave Love
By Rebecca Hein
At the beginning of John McPhee’s fascinating 1986 book, Rising from the Plains, the author introduces geologist David Love, a great talker and thinker who spent a long, Laramie-based career with the U.S. Geological Survey. McPhee also introduces us to Love’s mother, Ethel Waxham Love and to Wyoming geology in general. Ethel Waxham was still single in October 1905 when she traveled from Denver by train and stagecoach to teach a winter term of school in Fremont County, about 30 miles south of Lander. McPhee weaves in background on David’s childhood and early education after Ethel married sheep rancher John Love, a Scot, in June 1910 and they made a home on Muskrat Creek, near the bone-dry center of the state.
Early in the narrative—geared for the lay reader—the author and David Love, about 70 at the time, are driving around in a Bronco and camping out a lot. Stopping near Rawlins, they get out to look at the rocks. Love says, “The rock that outcrop[s] around Rawlins … contain[s] a greater spread of time than any other suite of exposed rocks along Interstate 80 between New York and San Francisco.”
Passages like this made me wish I’d been riding in the back seat as McPhee was driving, hearing Love’s every word.
Much further on in the book, we learn that Love discovered an even more interesting geologic area in Jackson Hole, which “contained not only the most complete geologic history in North America but also the most complex,” McPhee reports.
After reading this book, it’s impossible to ignore the importance of the geologic record, and the properties of rocks. To see how important a thorough knowledge of geology is, and the trouble caused by disregarding obvious information—or by ignorance of the facts—see Annette Hein’s WyoHistory article, Anchor Dam and the Reservoir that Wouldn't Hold Water.
And of course, geology has always played a huge role in mineral-rich Wyoming’s economy. See more on Love’s contributions to the science in Wyoming's Uranium Drama: Risks, Rewards and Remorse. For more still on why geology matters, see The Oil Business in Wyoming and Coalbed Methane: Boom, Bust and Hard Lessons.

Dark and moody, laced with a tinge of hope, the cover for Crossing Limbo alludes to the fascinating stories within. Coloured with a limited pallet, the single pop of red draws you in, forcing you to take a closer look. The forlorn, abandoned railroad tracks suggest loneliness and travel, but the hint of light in the distance offers a glimmer of hope for those who dare the journey.
Unfortunately, there’s no guarantee of redemption between the pages of this book.
From failing despots to struggling immigrants, Joseph tackles tough topics, that bring to light the harsh reality in which we all live. This collection of short stories exposes the complexity of human nature through a variety of story-telling techniques, themes, and subjects, keeping the reader alert from the very beginning.
Crossing Limbo will be available in both digital and print forms in mid-June 2017.

RainDance Technologies, which provides microdroplet-based solutions for single-molecule and single-cell analysis, has closed a Series D financing round of $37.5 million. RainDance plans to use the money to drive new applications for its commercial targeted sequencing and sequence-enrichment solutions.
The firm aims to grow its global sales and support infrastructure. It will also leverage the funding to develop and commercialize new products for single-molecule digital PCR and single-cell analysis.
RainDance’s microdroplet-based RainStorm™ technology enables researchers to perform fully automated biological analyses. Each RainStorm picoliter-scale droplet is the functional equivalent of an individual test tube and can contain a single molecule, cell, or reaction. The company says that its commercial products integrate with all next-generation DNA-sequencing platforms.
In February 2010, RainDance inked deals with Pacific Biosciences and Life Technologies that couple its technology with their respective sequencing platforms. Also in February the Academy for Medical Development and Collaboration said that it would provide access to RainDance’s RDT 1000 sequence-enrichment platform to the Tri-Institutional Research Program, which includes 28 biomedical research institutes in New York. A month later Ambry Genetics, a CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited diagnostic and genomic services company, signed on to use RainDance’s RDT 1000 for sequence enrichment and resequencing validation.
The RDT 1000 incorporates RainStorm microdroplet-based technology to amplify hundreds to thousands of genomic loci with high specificity and uniformity, RainDance states. It improves sample uniformity for less oversampling and efficient utilization of sequencer capacity, the firm adds. The RDT 1000 also reduces selection bias for decreased complexity and greater integrity of results, according to the company.
“We believe RainDance’s microdroplet-based solutions will play an important role in high-growth research and diagnostic markets due to its single-molecule and single-cell analytical sensitivity, unprecedented number of data points per sample, fast time-to-result, and flexibility with multiple biological sample types including DNA or RNA, proteins, and cells,” remarks Sherrill Neff from Quaker BioVentures, a new investor that co-led the Series D round. Neff joins RainDance’s board of directors.
RainDance’s commercial portfolio also includes automated instrumentation, customizable bioinformatics, consumables, and reagents for targeted sequencing, methylation, single-molecule digital PCR, and single-cell analysis.

About 6.3 million people suffer from Parkinson’s disease worldwide, but it’s a good bet that not all of those people have actually been diagnosed. There’s no blood test for the disease, and the standard procedure today requires lengthy and expensive visits to a neurologist. In poor countries where there aren’t many neurologists, there are probably thousands of sufferers who aren’t officially counted, let alone treated.
The Parkinson’s Voice Initiative aims to find a cheaper, more accessible method by categorizing people’s voice patterns. Aside from trembling hands and stooped gaits, people with Parkinson’s also exhibit telltale signs in their speech: a certain fluctuation and breathiness, for example. In time, the Parkinson’s Voice Initiative hopes to develop a test that might involve nothing more than recording your voice–say, via an app or phone-in system.
The project is led by Max Little, a British mathematician and visiting professor at MIT. In 2012, Little announced he was looking for 10,000 volunteers to provide data for his work. And provide it they did. Six months later, 17,000 people–both sufferers and non-sufferers–had called special numbers to record their voice tracks. Now, Little is analyzing the recordings, looking for 300 markers at intervals of 8,000 times a second. Once finished, he’ll create a system that analyzes voices automatically.
See his original TED talk is here:
“We’re just trying to demonstrate that it’s possible at the moment, but we would envisage something like a phone system where people could call in,” he explains. “Then, it could be used as an indication of whether they need to go for a checkup or not.”
Little has been analyzing voices since his PhD days, and only took a turn into Parkinson’s research when a friend (a ballet dancer) got the disease. He then bumped into an Intel employee, who told him about Parkinson’s projects the company had been working on (ex-CEO Andy Grove was diagnosed in 2000) and that voice patterns could be a viable research area. Little realized he could use his training in a new direction.
At the same time, Little has also been involved with work analyzing movement data from cell-phones. Last year, the Michael J Fox Foundation ran a competition to develop algorithms, so that doctors could monitor patients remotely (seeing, for example, how often they tremor).
Little hopes that crowdsourcing and machine learning could make collecting and analyzing data easier, and open up treatment options to more people.
“We live in a privileged world where the density of neurologists to patients is extremely high. But if you take areas of the world, you might be lucky that there’s one neurologist in the entire population,” he points out.

Sagittarius 2012 Horoscope
The Major Trends and Themes
Jupiter expands whatever he touches. He usually spends about 13 months in each zodiac
sign. His job is to bring joy, adventure, open-
As 2012 begins, Jupiter is still in Taurus and your sixth house until June 11th when he moves into Gemini and your seventh house.
In Taurus, Jupiter helps to expand Taurus' love of financial security, materialism,
comfort, status, self-
For Sagittarius, Jupiter will be in your sixth house of daily work and physical health. Jupiter brings more clients, more coworkers, more deadlines, more projects, more physical energy to accomplish your goals, more organization skills, more tools for helping you to get the job done, etc. Taurus encourages you to take the smart and cautious route, but like a bull with a red flag waved in his face, sometimes Taurus can charge forward like a bull in a china shop causing all kinds of destruction. You have to keep an eye on Taurus' influences; he can bring you incredible tenacity and personal drive on good days and extreme laziness or an uncontrollable locomotion of power on those bad days. Jupiter could also bring more weight gain. You have the planet of expansion in the house of physical health, so be mindful. Use that Taurus Jupiter energy to promote athleticism rather than gluttony. However, be careful not to go overboard and create physical injuries by becoming too hard on yourself physically. Moderation is key even when Jupiter is calling for "more, more, more."
In Gemini, Jupiter brings mixed blessings. Jupiter and Gemini are opposite sides
of the same coin. Gemini rules local communities, one-
For Sagittarius, Jupiter will be in your seventh house of marriage, best friends,
business partnerships, rivals, competitors, and enemies (think yin-
Saturn creates our personal challenges and "tough love" learning experiences. He usually spends about two and a half years in each zodiac sign. His job is to create learning experiences that are often uncomfortable but ultimately quite meaningful. Saturn rules over karma, cause and effect, ethics, and our sense of civic duty. Therefore, it is not only important that we learn our life lessons well, but that we also conduct ourselves with honor and integrity while going through these challenges. If we stay out of trouble, behave ethically, buckle down, and learn our lessons well, then Saturn rewards us with a gift just before he leaves a zodiac sign. For example, if Saturn were traveling through the area of our charts that deals with professionalism, leadership, and success, then he would teach us some tough lessons about those concepts. Then, if we learned lessons about professional reputations, taking on leadership roles, etc, and we behaved ourselves while doing so, Saturn would reward us with a job promotion, professional kudos, public recognition, etc. We would be better at our jobs, better at leading our companies and communities, and/or we would be better at marketing and advertising ourselves. If on the other hand, we did not learn any lessons about our professional conduct, leadership style, etc, or we were unethical, blamed others for our problems, cheated, lied, etc then Saturn would simply move on to the next zodiac sign and we would have nothing to show for all the drama and trouble that we had just endured. Saturn gets a bad reputation because many people think he is simply mean for the heck of it. When in actuality, he is like a "tough love" parent forcing us to grow up and act like a responsible adult. Might not be very fun, but the rewards are well worth it.
As 2012 begins, Saturn is still in Libra and your eleventh house until October 5th when he moves into Scorpio and your twelfth house.
While in Libra, Saturn focuses on our partnerships. Libra rules over marriage, best
friends, business partnerships, and competitors (think yin-
For Sagittarius, hosting Saturn in your eleventh house of friends, teams, clubs, committees, professional associations, networking, connectivity, and the Internet can be rather stressful. You are by nature, a social and outgoing person. You are capable of working alone or in pairs, but you really enjoy being around others. Having Saturn teach you "life lessons" by challenging this area of your life can be hard on you. Saturn's goal is to make you a better friend, teammate, and colleague. He is also working to teach you a thing or two about whom you chose as friends and associates and why that matters. Saturn cares deeply about things like honor, loyalty, and dependability, so do not be surprised if these are the topics he focuses on while traveling through your social life.
In Scorpio, Saturn finds himself in friendly territory. Scorpio rules over things
like trust, loyalty, and profits. While Saturn rules over an area of the zodiac
that focuses on civic duty, professionalism, success, and leadership. Saturn rules
over karma and Scorpio rules over trust. Saturn is very comfortable traveling through
Scorpio. While in Scorpio, Saturn will be testing us, teaching us, challenging us,
and/or revealing karma owed concerning the topics of trust and sharing, intimacy,
fidelity, spousal and child support, joint assets, joint ventures, investments, stocks,
commissions, royalties, tips and gratuities, inheritances, loans, lotteries, taxes,
and other forms of profit sharing. Scorpio also rules over hidden agendas, secret
motivations, deep psychological issues, and those times when we want to hide away
in our secret cave to lick our wounds and heal from some harsh battle, emotional
trauma, etc that we have endured. Scorpio brings us the life-
For Sagittarius, Saturn is now going to focus his "tough love" teaching moments on
your mental health, attitudes, addictions, self-
Uranus is the eccentric genius, rebellious teenager, and social networking guru of
the zodiac. He usually spends about 7 years in each zodiac sign. He rules over
friends, teams, clubs, committees, professional associations, networking, science,
interconnectivity, electricity, and the Internet. He can bring teamwork, friendships,
networking, and a sense of belonging to something bigger than ourselves into our
lives. He can also bring stubbornness, eccentricity, rebellion, and perversity.
This is because at his core, he is trying to convince us to be our unique individual
selves but also to be a great team player. Thus, like a teenager, he is trying to
find himself while being very susceptible to peer pressure. Those who master Uranus'
teachings often make charming and charismatic leaders. Uranus also encourages us
to think outside the box and brings a certain eclectic brilliance into our lives.
Like the eccentric genius and the rebellious teenager, he brings pleasant surprises
and unexpected chaos. Uranus promotes humanitarian ideals like brotherhood, "all
for one and one for all", and "united we stand, divided we fall." He is not asking
us to be sheeple following the crowd mentality with blind faith. He is asking us
to know our unique gifts and to be strong enough in our self-
As 2012 begins, Uranus is still in Aries and your fifth house where he will stay for the next few years.
There are zodiac signs where Uranus shines and is emboldened to bring about wonderful brotherly love and incredible scientific advances, like when he was in his own zodiac sign, Aquarius from the middle of 1995 until the early part of 2003. While there, the everyday use of the Internet took root and blossomed. Prior to that, he was in Capricorn building the systems of the Internet. Yes, the Internet has been around for a long time, but it was during the time that the planet in charge of the Internet was traveling through the zodiac sign in charge of the Internet, that the Internet seriously began to grow and expand into the incredible tool that it is today.
From 2003 until 2010, Uranus was in Pisces. Here he was somewhat subdued. Pisces
rules over the hidden forces that work behind the scenes. Things like mental health,
Once Uranus moved into Aries, he began to have some fun. Aries is innovative, entrepreneurial, competitive, and loves being the first one to come up with a new idea. Uranus is in love with new technology, teamwork, being unique while being part of something bigger than one's self, and a brainstorming genius. Both are extroverted, social, and stubborn. Both are clever, fast, and pride themselves on their uniqueness. Globally, we will probably see the Internet and new technology take off like crazy. It will be interesting to see how the planet of teamwork and brotherly love affects the world while in the zodiac sign of warriors and "me first!" Does "me" or "we" prevail? It seems to me that this is a "we the people" time in history. Governments, corporations, dictators, and others that would try to control the ignorant masses could find that "we the people" is a stronger and more passionate force to be reckoned with than what is expected. The peasants might appear to be fat and lazy or uneducated and unorganized, but Uranus within Aries creates a lovely energy for uniting people under a single cause and motivating groups to move in unison. We will see more of this in the voting booths as well as in the public marches and demonstrations.
For Sagittarius, Uranus is in your fifth house of personal pleasure, romance, playtime, children, pets, hobbies, creative talents, luxury, and happiness. Uranus electrifies your creative side, inspires your romantic side, and invigorates your playful side. This is a charming and fun placement. However, you could also find that you are easily bored and quick to change directions when it comes to your own happiness. Uranus can bring chaos, stubbornness, and drama to your relationships with lovers, children, and/or pets. Uranus will have you evaluating how you approach fun, playtime, and luxury living so that you can create changes that will make these areas of your life better. Uranus gives you permission to be happy, but also makes you pay attention to how your path to happiness affects those around you.
Neptune tries to bring emotional well-
As 2012 begins, Neptune is still in Aquarius and your third house until February 3rd when he moves into Pisces and your fourth house. He will stay in this new location until 2025.
In Aquarius, Neptune has been behaving in sort of a yin-
For Sagittarius, Neptune has been blessing your third house of communications, commerce,
and community. Neptune adds intuition, compassion, spirituality, and/or inner peace
aspects to your interpersonal communications, your business dealings, and/or your
relationships with family and people in your local community. Unfortunately, when
planets clash with Neptune, he can add self-
In Pisces, Neptune is literally at home. Neptune rules over Pisces and the concepts
of mental health, attitudes, addictions, self-
For Sagittarius, Neptune will be in your fourth house of real estate, housing matters, roommates, parents, childhood issues, retirement circumstances, and "coming home". During this time, when Neptune is clashing with or being opposed by other planets in the zodiac, then he can bring lies, deceptions, "fogginess", addictions, escapism, gullibility, and delusion to your home life. Your parents could show signs of senility, you could find yourself wanting to hide away in your home rather than face the harsh realities of life, and/or you could simply find that roommates are behaving in fickle and bizarre ways. You could find that real estate deals are full of hidden loopholes and secret problems. Sometimes having Neptune in the fourth house can mean that just trying to keep a roof over your head can be a challenge, and you might find yourself struggling just to create a solid home life for yourself. However, Neptune's goal is to bring mental health, spirituality, peace of mind, tranquility, and compassion into your private life. He is available to help you work through psychological issues regarding your parents and how you were raised. Since Neptune rules over a water sign (Pisces), you could also find yourself being drawn towards living in coastal towns or otherwise near the water. There is a certain laidback, quiet, peaceful energy that comes from "living on the water" so to speak. On the other hand, there is the possibility that you could suffer water damage to your home. Overall, Neptune's goal is to bring his positive gifts to your home, your relationship with your parents and roommates, and to your ability to plan for a peaceful retirement. He just does not handle negativity very well.
Pluto psychoanalyzes, empowers, and/or heals whatever he touches. He has an uneven
pattern and can spend as little as 13 years or as much as 32 years in any given zodiac
sign. His job is to uncover the hidden truths within our lives and to either empower
us with passion and self-
As 2012 begins, Pluto is still in Capricorn and your second house. He moved into this area of your life in 2008 and will stay here until January 2024.
In Capricorn, Pluto focuses on doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do. Capricorn rules over professionalism, leadership, goals and aspirations, success, civic duty, public recognition, and earning the respect of our peers. Remember earlier when we talked about Saturn and how he teaches us about karma, cause and effect, and "tough love" style life lessons. Saturn rules Capricorn and so Capricorn embraces the concepts of "tough love", doing one's civic duty, and ideas like "If I don't take care of this, who will?" When in Sagittarius, Pluto promoted exploring the world and all of the various cultures, peoples, religions, etc. Sagittarius promoted freedom to explore and to dabble in various religious and cultural teachings. The idea that all religions are more alike than different and therefore we can pick and chose bits and pieces of which ones we like is a very Sagittarian approach to religion and spirituality. We focused on global travel, politics, and mass media. Pluto had a good time digging deep down into the truth about our political beliefs, our religious practices, our international diplomacy, and such. Now, he is focusing on the business systems, ethics, integrity, and professionalism of our world. Do the large corporations follow ethical business practices? Do we have integrity in our government agencies? Do we as individuals, as communities, as states, as countries... do we take on a parental role and look out for those in need or do we focus on our own personal agendas? It may not feel like a lot of fun, but this is the perfect energy for fixing the economic system, the environmental policies, the human rights violations, the health care system, welfare programs, voting fraud, etc. Big systems that are broken can be fixed, healed, restructured, and/or demolished in a smart and tenacious manner. We have the planet of passion, truth, and rebirth focused on the zodiac sign of responsibility, integrity, and leadership.
For Sagittarius, Pluto is in your second house of personal wealth and self-
There are times during this year when these big slow moving planets clash with each other and create a huge uproar in everyone’s life and there are times when they team up together to accomplish great things in our lives. More detailed forecasts explaining how these slow moving planets will interact with each other (including how the faster more temperamental planets will affect us) are also available.

Ghosting: The World’s Shittiest Breakup Method
I’m a recent victim of ghosting (and an unbelievable two other times in the last eight months), here’s a PSA for all of you men out there thinking that *this* is the best way to let a girl know you aren’t digging her. Hint:
When a man completely stops talking to someone he met online, texted with, has gone on a date with, slept with, and/or dated for an extended period of time. This is done in hopes that the ghostee will just “get the hint” and leave the ghoster alone, as opposed to the ghoster simply telling them he is no longer interested. Many attempt to justify ghosting as a way to cease dating the ghostee without hurting her feelings, but it in fact proves the ghoster is thinking more of himself, as ghosting often creates more confusion for the ghostee than if the subject kindly stated how he felt.
* Note: This is not to be confused with the Fade Out, which is done gradually over time.
Douchebagging, vanishing into thin air, poof!
Friend: How was your second date with Kyle?
Ashley: I thought it went well, but I’ve texted him a couple of times since then and he’s been ghosting me.
Ways to not be a Ghoster:
Text, call or email. Explain yourself, and give a simple explanation. Even if it’s not true, she’ll at least appreciate that you could say something… although truthfulness is always better.
How to avoid being ghosted:
Stay celibate, give up the male gender altogether, become a nun.
Twisted stomach, inability to eat, insomnia, insane thoughts about all of the reasons why he hasn’t texted (He’s in a ditch somewhere! He lost his phone! His phone broke and he lost my number! etc.)
Ghosting has the ability to make girls crazy and create distrust of every guy she dates after you.
I was talking to a male friend about this guy that I’d been talking for almost 3 months… which is practically a relationship. I’m not really sure what happened to him, as prior to the last two weeks everything was hot. We communicated every day, saw each other pretty regularly and everything was non-stop. And then after our last date I heard from him exactly three times, two of which I initiated contact. He texted me late one Saturday night. I reached out to him the following Wednesday and he responded saying he was sick. I contacted him again on Friday, and then… nothing.
I reached out once after that and figured that since I didn’t get a response it was safe to assume I wouldn’t be hearing from him again. It’s frustrating because things were going seemingly well between us and suddenly it was over, and I never found out why. I wouldn’t be so concerned if he’d just come out and said “hey it’s not working” or something… but to just disappear? Annoying. I fucking hate this cop-out – I really do. I think it’s rude and inconsiderate. Plus, it doesn’t let me know what I did wrong (if anything) or give me the chance to fix it or make it (ME) better.
Yes, I have experienced more ‘Caspers’ in my life than I’d like to admit. I’m sure there are a variety of reasons for disappearing, but I like reasoning. Tell me why – no matter how much it isn’t fun or nice to hear. At least I know! That way, I might consider setting you up with my friends in the future vs. I don’t know what happened so just I’m just going to pretend you don’t exist anymore.
This seems to be an online dating-based phenomenon. 90% of ghosting stories I’ve heard have been quite similar – the guy gets super-serious, super-fast. This lasts for several dates (or several weeks) and then he suddenly goes missing. Perhaps this is because sites like OKCupid inherently causes people to approach dating like they would online shopping – and makes it too easy to fall into ‘grass is greener’ syndrome when dating someone.
For the record, I’ve met exactly three people off of OKCupid. One situation was over before it began and I think we’d both agree that our first date was pretty boring. The other two were full-blown ghosting situations. In both cases, the guy in question got very intense almost immediately. The dates were amazing and there was instant chemistry. And then *poof!* …they disappeared. Interestingly, both of my “ghosts” happened to reappear months later, attempting to explain themselves.
Ghost #1: Admittedly, we got super-serious, super-fast. Case in point: on our first date (which, granted, was after a month of talking), he brought up my meeting his family and friends. We dated for a month and things seemed to be going well, and then he completely fell off the face of the earth. I eventually sent him an email asking him what was going on, and he gave me the “it’s not you, it’s me” line. Incidentally, I discovered that it really was “him” six months later when he showed up outside of my house acting full-on mentally unstable, smelling like he hadn’t washed his clothes in weeks, and apologizing profusely, telling me that he has no one to turn to in life because he pushes everyone away. I played therapist for that one night just to make sure he wasn’t suicidal, then never spoke to him again.
Ghost #2 was so intense that after our first date, he wanted to take a cab all the way to my house before he went to work just to kiss me. On top of that, he constantly sent me videos from work telling me he missed me. While it was sweet, it was also a little intense given that we barely knew each other. Things were going well until one night he straight-up never appeared for our date, and never responded to my text. For obvious reasons, I decided to not contact him again after that night, however, he had left a few items at my apartment. I boxed them up, spent $25 to ship them a few miles to his work via UPS, then sent him an email on Facebook that said, “I mailed the stuff you left at my apartment to your work. Take care.” I never once asked for an explanation, just sent him his stuff and left it at that. And no, he never did reply and say thanks.
Of course, he also resurfaced about nine months later, bombarding me with apologies via Facebook, begging me to meet up with him. (Note: There were several other messages after the ones shown in the screenshot, but you get the picture). After I responded letting him know that while I forgave him, I had no interesting in meeting up with him, he decided to delete me. A few weeks later, he then re-added me and apologized for deleting me… and then deleted me again because I still refused to meet up. Because, you know, maturity.
In other words: I’ve learned that if someone ghosts you, they’re probably doing you a really, really big favor.

Discussion in 'Racing' started by pvangel, Mar 24, 2011.
you should.... so, did ya?
I haven't... it's still available though. As always it's time and $,time and$
The clouds looked like they were from an alien invasion movie, never seen anything like them before, and then the rains came
On the mini in the team relay race at the grass track. we got 3rd overall.
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pfcqW66Id44" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
nice ridin, Tex. I think I'm ready to play. Hows August looking?
No races in August.... Central Village Ct on 7/28 which is a great track, great soil and only 2 hrs away. Bikes are always available for any GS pilots that want to wring out a 125.
Then Englishtown NJ and Tomahawk in West Virginia for September.
After the racing on Sunday they open the track up for a free ride so this is just some fun laps on the big track.

We rode at the test facility in the heat on Sunday which was killer. My motivation in this picture is a 18 yr old on a 450 trying to catch me(he couldn't)
Rode at the country club today with a friend on his yz 250, I was a pussy and didn't jump some of the new doubles but the new whoops went on forever and I was able to get some speed through them. They wear you out though but the faster you go the smother you are but have to concentrate so hard on throttle control and body position to maintain that it is exhausting...

very cool. way to let that 250 know the 125's might be 1/2 the size but twice the heart!
Central Village! Next round is this Saturday in Central Village Ct. Great track with great soil and only 2 hrs. away, got the 89 running better after adjusting the powervalve multiple times (now I know how to do it) so am looking forward to another fun weekend of racing!
I turn 53 on Friday and whats a better gift than to be at the track?
Flug, 125's rule!
Rain Rain go away.... It has rained the last 2 years at Central Village, the track is sandy so it can take it but was looking forward to a nice day...
Last year on 7/27 riding #727 in the rain at Central,
Work has made it hard to think about racing and I was ready to bale on the weekend.
Being busy at work is great (because I haven't been in a long time) but really, at this age I gotta race when there's a race so I left work a little early to get ready. AND I'M READY! Truck is loaded, bikes are gassed up the cooler is ready to role.
Were friggen racing tomorrow, 5:00 am departure time. Race report to follow...
*Note about the helmet cam. On race day I always forget to put it on my helmet, not sure why (racing day butterflys is why) but I intend to wear it tomorrow if for no other reason than so Flug can see it.
I'm going to bed...
GREAT day of racing, it rained everywhere but the track. Perfect conditions!
Until we drove home....friggen deluge of rain so the ride home sucked but the day went off without a hitch....Helmet cam to follow

The 2006 PWA Costa Teguise Super-X World Cup Day Five
Antoine Albeau (F-192 Starboard / NeilPryde) takes the 2006 PWA Super-X World title after a nail biting winning finish here in Costa Teguise, Lanzarote. Only the second name to be etched into the trophy since it’s inception in 2004, Albeau won the ninth and final race here to seal a famous victory. Daida Moreno (E-64, Mistral/ North Sails) eventually wrestled the title away from last years winner Karin Jaggi (Z-14, F2/ North Sails).
As the clock ticked today, it became increasingly unlikely Matt Pritchard (US-10 Tabou / Gaastra) would claim a third consecutive world title. Third placed Matt needed nothing short of disaster striking for both event leader Antoine Albeau (and brother Kevin Pritchard (US-10 Starboard / Maui Sails). With a maximum of four races to complete before the end of play, the chances were there’d be two new world champions crowned tonight. During the day, Daida Moreno clung on to control, whilst reigning Super-X champion Karin Jaggi in second place and sister Iballa Moreno (E-63, Mistral/ North Sails) did all they could to catch up.
Skippers meeting was held at 09.30 and sailors placed on quarterly hour standby as moderate trades were forecast to show early, and then to lighten. Around 13.00 the wind became suitable and Race Director Aragon sent the competitors out to start Race 8.
Everyone who was expected to progress from heat one did and the spotlight turned to heat two from where Albeau and Kevin Pritchard desperately needed to advance. Almost flawless sailing by both Albeau, and Pritchard saw them finish first and second respectively, with Cyril Moussilmani (F-71, Fanatic/ North Sails) in third. Kevin Mevissen (H-79, JP/ Neil Pryde) was unlucky not to qualify by blowing his forward loop.
The final predictably involved Kevin Pritchard and Albeau gaining flying starts, but Peter Volwater (H-24 F2 / North Sails) clawed into second place by the first duck gybe, whilst Nik Baker (K-66, Mistral/ North Sails) crashed on jump one. It was Albeau, Volwater and Matt Pritchard all in front of Kevin on the second reach, but Kevin dropped his spock, and Matt caught Volwater before rounding mark two in second. Matt Pritchard and Albeau both fell on their second spocks, but Matt got back on his feet first, whilst Albeau covered well and re-gained the lead to take the win. Matt took second ahead of Kevin in third.
There was a general recall on starting the women’s eighth race. At the second attempt Daida Moreno, with an event lead to protect, ensured she made a no risk clean air start well away from the pack. Junko Nagoshi (J-11 F2 / Simmer) led to mark one as Karin Jaggi crashed the first jump. Daida then took Nagoshi during the first duck gybe and extended her lead on the second reach. Jaggi had progressed no further than fourth by reaching the third mark, and so it finished Daida Moreno first, Nagoshi second and Astrid Muldoon ( F-002 JP/ NeilPryde) third.
With Albeau and Moreno still leading the event, Race 9 was called to start straight away.
Heat one must have been nerve-wracking for Kevin Pritchard, as he scraped through to qualify for the final by the skin of his teeth in fifth position. Heat two was then cancelled due to large patches of light winds before the women’s Race 9 was held.
Astrid Muldoon sped off the start line first pursued by Karin Jaggi, but Iballa Moreno crashed on Jump one with Daida Moreno trailing. Muldoon didn’t make her forward loop allowing Jaggi the lead towards the second mark. Jaggi kept in front around the third duck gybe ahead of Muldoon, and a fast approaching Daida Moreno. Jaggi, stayed cool, jumping the final obstacle cleanly and won followed by Muldoon for a well deserved second and Daida Moreno settling for third position.
Heat 2 was unable to be re-sailed at this point and the Z flag was raised sending the sailors to the beach for lunch and to remain on standby. At 16.45 the wind reached a suitable level to start again. First up was the re-sail of heat two cancelled earlier, which Albeau, looking menacing, won easily.
Albeau’s luck was consolidated when Kevin Pritchard was disqualified for being over the line early, guaranteeing Albeau his world title. The re-sail was exciting regardless when a lightning fast Matt Pritchard raced to beat Albeau over the first jump, as Nik Baker and Peter Volwater snatched second and third place around the first duck gybe. Albeau’s slow spock cost him more distance whilst Pritchard extended his impressive lead and won. Volwater looked certain of second until he fell on the final jump letting Taty Frans (NB-9, Starboard / MauiSails) come through for second whilst Volwater recovered for third. Albeau came in sixth but it didn’t affect his event ranking and 2006 title victory.
Daida Moreno and Antoine Albeau take the Super-X World Titles for the first times in their career histories after a week of exceptional racing here in Costa Teguise. Super-X ‘s tough courses and demanding maneuvers make for a rollercoaster ride of lead changes between fierce rivalries. This event demonstrated that, and was the perfect example of all-round windsurfing skill put to the ultimate test. The PWA World Tour now heads to Gran Canaria for more explosive action in wavesailing, Slalom 42 and Freestyle. The action starts on July 7th so be sure to tune in here for daily live updates.

How to Sell a Car: Avoid the Consignment Scam
How to Sell a Car: Advice from Peter Humleker
For some important advice on how to sell a car, we asked Peter Humleker, consumer advocate, consultant and author of the excellent book "Car Buying Scams, Auto Dealer Executive "Breaks Code of Silence!" to write an exclusive article for us about how to sell a car.
Peter told us that one of the most important traps to avoid for how to sell a car are consignment scams.
Here's Peter's article on consignment scams:
If you've been thinking about how to sell a car, one option is to consign your used car to a car dealer and let them sell it for you. Many people think this is a great approach for how to sell a car.
If your willing to take what the dealer will give you for your car, then perhaps it’s not a bad idea.
If you're not familiar with how consigning your car to a dealer works as a method of how to sell a car, I'll explain it to you. Then, I will tell how some car dealers may try to scam you.
How to Sell a Car: Consignment
You take your car to dealership and tell them you would like to consign your car for them to sell. Some car dealers do not consign cars, while some do.
For those who do, they look consignment as having an extra car on the lot that is not costing them any money.
The dealer will ask you how much you want for your car. No matter what you say, they will tell you that the amount you stated is too much, and then offer you a much lower figure.
Once you agree on the figure, for example $7,000, then whatever the dealership sells your car for over the amount of $7,000 is theirs to keep.
When they sell the car, they call you up and then you come into the dealership to sign some paperwork. They then give you a check for your $7,000.
How to Sell a Car: How the Consignment Scam Works
Let’s say that the dealership does end up selling your car for $9,000. They would make $2,000 profit on this deal because they owe you $7,000.
Immediately after they sell your car for $9,000, they call you up on the phone and have the following conversation with you:
“Hi Joe, this is Larry the Sales Manager at ABC Car Dealership where your car is consigned.”
Joe replies, “Hi Larry, did you sell my car yet?”
“Well, you see Joe, that is the reason I am calling. I have an offer on your car but your not going to like it. A customer is offering us $7,000 for your car. As you know, I need to make a small profit plus pay the salesman his commission.
If you could accept $6,500 for your car then we would go ahead and sell it to the customer for you that made the offer.” (Larry is saying this in his “concerned voice.”)
Joe, wanting to get rid of his car and be done with it, agrees to lose an additional $500 in order to sell his car -- and the dealership just picked up another $500 additional profit -- to make a total profit of $2,500.
To avoid getting ripped off this way, always stick to your original consignment amount. The worse case scenario if the dealership does call to try and run this scam on you, is to ask to see the signed purchase order from the new owner of the car.
This will tell you exactly what they paid for the car. If the dealership gets nervous and does not agree to show you the customers purchase order, then you know that they are trying to run this scam on you.
That's how to sell a car without getting scammed by the consignment scam..

Jewish World Review Sept. 20, 2000 /19 Elul 5760
Clearly, money can neither buy happiness nor a winning team. The Redskins lost to their arch-rival, the Dallas Cowboys. One fan said, "I didn't pay $250 for this.'' That was the price of his seat. Hot dogs are $6 and soft drinks $3, unless you want the more expensive plastic cup.
Owner Daniel Snyder paid a record $800 million for this collection of under-performing individuals, who cannot function as a team, possibly because they feel closer to their agents than to their fellow players or the fans. In our interchangeable world, some of these players will be on another team next year. They are as loyal to Washington and to each other as a stray dog is to the human who tosses him a bone.
As I watched the wealthy on the field and the wealthy in the stands (the middle class and poor have long since been banished to the TV sidelines), I considered the price we have paid for our prosperity. Too few of the necessities of life is not good. Too many of the frills of life may be worse.
Prophets and philosophers have warned us of the dangers of prosperity. Jean-Jacques Rousseau said, "Remorse sleeps during a prosperous period but wakes up in adversity.'' Moses warned the ancient Israelites, after they had emerged from slavery in Egypt and had begun to experience prosperity, not to forget "the L-rd your G-d.'' Our golden calf is more sophisticated than theirs -- but no less corrupting. In Dow we trust.
Politicians feel the need to stoke our greed rather than warn us of our descent into sloth (a wonderful word that means, among other things, "spiritual apathy''). Preachers may win converts with such talk in sermons, but politicians find it hard to win votes by admonishing the slothful. Rather than call upon us to return to the character development that allowed our parents and grandparents to prevail over a Great Depression and a world war, candidates engage in a bidding war for our vote over how much our country can do for us rather than asking what we can do for ourselves. In this prosperous environment, John F. Kennedy's pledge to "pay any price'' takes on an entirely different meaning.
The coming election may be decided by people who wear their emotions on their designer sleeves, who pay more attention to the claims of car dealers and home sellers than they do to candidates for high office. Who has time to investigate promises and character when there is money to be made? Talk shows and late-night TV form superficial images of George W. Bush and Al Gore, not the substance of their character, beliefs and policies.
In an uncaring environment, we perform like disconnected football players. We do not play as a team, or nation, but focus on our individual interests and existential "happiness.''
Recently I heard former Sen. Malcolm Wallop (R-Wyo.) deliver a speech in which he said, "America operates better under a doctrine, a guiding principle. America has no purpose in the world today.'' Or at home, either. And that is why, cliche that it is, we really do get the leadership we deserve. A people too busy worshiping prosperity will not be attuned to a decline in national culture or personal morals. Money, we think, covers a multitude of sins.
Thomas Carlyle observed, "Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity, there are a hundred that will stand adversity.''
Adversity once built integrity, but prosperity can destroy it in less than a generation. Our prosperity
has bred greed, class warfare and envy, one of the deadliest of evils. When Vice President Gore
invents stories about the cost of prescription drugs for his mother-in-law and his dog, few seem to
care. That's because prosperity has anesthetized our national conscience, and our goal has become
the acquisition of more stuff, even though it will all come to nothing in an estate sale. Or in the moral
corruption of a nation. Or in an expensive, but worthless, football

Is Israel a Failed State?
The Unmaking of Israel, Gershom Gorenberg, Harper, 336 pages
Gershom Gorenberg is an exception to the rule—more than one rule. He’s an Orthodox Jewish Israeli of American origin, a group that generally tilts sharply to the right in an Israeli context. But he’s decidedly on the political left, an advocate of not only freezing settlement construction but of initiating evacuations “without waiting for a signature on a peace agreement,” of negotiating a two-state solution based on the Green Line (the armistice lines of 1949, the de facto borders prior to the 1967 war), of the separation of synagogue and state, and of true civic equality between Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel. More than this, he has a realistic understanding of how the Zionist project must have been perceived by the Arab population of the Levant from the beginning: when he talks about the Palestinian Nakba—“catastrophe,” which is how the Palestinian Arabs refer to the events Israeli Jews call the War of Independence—he doesn’t put the word in scare quotes. But though Gorenberg is a man of the left, he also describes himself as a Zionist, rather than a non-, anti-, or post-Zionist. That is to say, he describes himself as a Jewish nationalist.
The State of Israel is also an exception to the rule—more than one rule. Like Greece and Algeria, India and Vietnam, Kenya and Lithuania, and numerous other states today, it is the fruit of a movement for national liberation, of a struggle, in the words of the Israeli national anthem, to be “a free people in our own land.” Unlike any other movement for national liberation, however, Zionism did not seek an independent state for an already existing nation living in a territory but rather to create a nation and a state out of a people scattered across the globe that had lived nearly two millennia in diaspora from its ancestral home. Like the United States and Canada, Brazil and Argentina, Australia and South Africa, Israel is also a settler state, created by a European population that came not merely to rule but to occupy and to substantially displace the indigenous people. Unlike any other settler state, however, the settlers of Israel understood themselves not to be venturing forth but to be coming home—and though individually any Israeli could make a home in any number of places, as could anyone from anywhere, in aggregate there is no other place on earth that they could call home.
This exceptional man has written a book, The Unmaking of Israel, about that exceptional state and its protracted and deepening crisis. And it is, appropriately enough, an exceptional contribution to the genre.
What is exceptional about the book is the frame within which Gorenberg chooses to tell a mostly familiar story—familiar, anyway, to anyone conversant with the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Gorenberg is not the first person to write a book decrying the human consequences of Israel’s settlement enterprise in the West Bank, and indeed, though he does decry them forcefully it is not the purpose of his book either to document them or to persuade anyone who does not already agree that the occupation has had frightful ramifications for the Palestinians. Nor is he the first person to make the “demographic argument” for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—the argument that Israel cannot remain both a democratic state and a Jewish state if it does not retain a substantial and stable Jewish majority, which would not be the case if the West Bank were incorporated into Israel proper. Indeed, this latter point is now part of the Israeli conventional wisdom—every party to the left of Likud formally endorses it, Likud Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nominally accepts it as well, and even the platform of Avigdor Liberman’s far-right Yisrael Beiteinu party depends on the same premise (which is why that platform proposes trading the heavily Arab areas within the Green Line for the Israeli settlement blocs in the West Bank as part of a hypothetical agreement). But this is also not the primary thrust of Gorenberg’s book; he takes it for granted that everyone understands the basic arithmetic.
Rather, the thrust of the book, as the title states, is to demonstrate that the series of decisions made during and after the 1967 War that resulted in the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza set in motion a process that has progressively “unmade” the State of Israel. Indeed, the progressive expansion of the settlement enterprise has so eroded the foundations of the signature achievement of political Zionism—Israel as we now know it—that not merely a “Jewish democratic state” but the state as such is now imperiled.
To make that case, Gorenberg begins by taking the reader back to the pre-state period and the early days of the Israeli state. Before independence, the Jewish community in Israel was subject to colonial rule but substantially governed itself through the various institutions of the yishuv and through manifold Zionist political movements and militias. Once national liberation was achieved, with the United Nations vote for partition and victory in the war of independence, Israel needed to get on with the process of state-building.
Israel’s first leader, David Ben-Gurion, pursued this aim in, again, a manner very familiar from other post-colonial states. The party of liberation established organs of the state—or took them over from the colonial power—but did so in such a manner that these organs were bound up, at least initially, with that same party, with the “losing” parties required to dissolve their pre-state institutions, particularly militias. The only “battle” Israel fought to achieve this goal was to sink the Altalena, a ship carrying arms for the Irgun, Menachem Begin’s right-wing militia, when the Irgun refused to hand those arms over to the Israel Defense Forces.
This decision by Ben-Gurion is Gorenberg’s object lesson in what it means to have a state: by using force early and decisively, Ben-Gurion assured that the state would have a monopoly of force, and would therefore be a state. It’s also a decision to which the losing party has never reconciled itself, and Gorenberg recounts how the Israeli right has made a rallying cry of the Altalena over the years. But for all the hand-wringing about Jews firing on other Jews, it’s worth pointing out that Israel made the transition from a revolutionary national movement to a functioning state more successfully than many other decolonizing countries, particularly given the nature of the challenges it faced. (Most notably the need to integrate an enormous wave of mostly poor immigrants that, while sharing a sense of common peoplehood, was divided into wildly different cultural and linguistic groups.)
But with the dramatic victory of 1967, Israel was tempted by the conquered territory to reverse this historical progression and revert to the pre-state condition of being a national movement. Israel captured two different categories of land in 1967. The Sinai and the Golan Heights were recognized by the world generally as the sovereign territory of Egypt and Syria. While Israel planted settlements in both areas—and actually annexed the Golan Heights—the nature of the conflict over these territories is an inter-state manner and will be resolved in the usual way between states. (As indeed it was with Egypt after the Camp David accords.)
The West Bank and Gaza, however, were neither annexed nor administered according to the Geneva Conventions for occupied territory. They were settled without regard to the law, rather in the manner of Jewish settlement in the pre-state period, except with a combination of active and passive state backing: active when the settlements were planned by the Israeli government, passive when they were established by “wildcat” settlers and then retroactively approved, a process that has accelerated during the years since the Oslo accords. The Israeli state broke its own and international law, but more alarmingly from the perspective of the integrity of the state, it encouraged private parties to believe that they were acting patriotically when they broke the law and forced the state’s hand, all in an effort to establish “facts on the ground” that would (those responsible presumably thought) redound to Israel’s benefit—or, more properly, to the benefit of the “Jewish national movement,” since Gorenberg’s contention is that this activity in fact damaged Israel as a state and since it wouldn’t be correct to talk about this or that activity benefiting an entire ethnic or religious group like “the Jews.”
Since 1967, Gorenberg relates, the settlement enterprise has undermined the Israeli state top to bottom. It has fostered secrecy and corruption in government. (There is no proper accounting anywhere of spending on settlements; the figures simply aren’t kept.) It has inspired messianic religious groups that do not recognize the state as the final authority over questions of territory or war and peace and then encouraged these groups to greater and greater influence within the armed forces—because they could be relied upon to serve in the territories without loss of morale—raising the specter of a split in the army should the government ever decide to withdraw from the West Bank. And as relations between Jews and Arabs in the West Bank took on the character of an armed ethnic contest, this dynamic has been imported back into Israel proper, where private groups—frequently with some degree of state support—have engaged in campaigns to “Judaize” predominantly Arab parts of the state.
Again the story is familiar. Less so is the framing. Gorenberg, though he is outraged by the plight of the Palestinians, is not really writing about that plight. Nor is he writing from an anti-Zionist perspective. Rather, he is writing from a deeply Zionist point of view. Zionism, we tend to forget, was not a self-defense movement. It was a nationalist movement. Nationalism tells a people a story about what it means to be free—that being free means being part of a self-conscious, self-governing, sovereign, and independent collective. Losing consciousness of one’s national group, being governed by other groups, failing to achieve independence and sovereignty on par with other nations—these are signs of unfreedom. Of immaturity. The Jews before Zionism were, from the perspective of this narrative, either an exceptionally immature nation or not a nation at all. The goal of Zionism was not simply—or even primarily—to provide for a “safe haven” for Jews fleeing persecution by the Czar or the Nazis. The goal was the spiritual rejuvenation of the Jewish people by molding them into a nation like other nations and achieving independent statehood.
This is a narrative frame that, in broad strokes, Gorenberg accepts, which is why he is properly seen as a Zionist. Indeed, the whole argument of the book is that by holding onto and settling the territories captured in 1967, Israel has reverted to a mode of existence that Zionism was supposed to help the Jews grow out of. By undermining the authority of the state, the settlement enterprise has revived modes of being and of argument that, from Gorenberg’s perspective, the Jewish people should have grown out of when they acquired the power and responsibility of a state. Indeed, that was the whole point, from a moral perspective, of acquiring state power in the first place. The settlement enterprise doesn’t just undermine the moral case for Israel because it’s an injustice (plenty of states have perpetrated injustices—indeed, far worse injustices—without undermining the case for statehood as such) but because it is evidence that Zionism failed in what was arguably its primary objective.
Gorenberg wrote his book primarily for a Jewish audience. Based on what he has said about the reception when he has gone to synagogues and other venues to talk about his book, much of the opposition from within the Jewish community refuses to be confronted with painful facts, determined to shout down and shut out the messenger with the unwelcome message. But I can imagine a more forthright approach for the opposition. Gorenberg is making the case that Israel has encouraged the reversion to a pre-state mode of being; it has revived a situation where Jews are locked in ethnic conflict with their neighbors rather than dominating an independent state with relations (whether conflicted or harmonious) with neighboring states. But why blame Israel for this? How do we know that the pre-state situation ever really ended? Did the Arab states make peace in 1949? No. Have the Palestinians reconciled themselves to the idea of a Jewish state? No. Have the Palestinian citizens of Israel at least reconciled themselves to it? No. So why should Israel effectively disarm themselves and say: we’ve got enough; we’re not going to fight for more—even though you will continue to fight so that we have less. Why should Israel be the sucker?
I don’t think the proper answer to this is to get back into a debate about the facts, or about who is more and who less justified in their specific actions. I think the proper answer is in that famous line of Ben-Gurion’s: “What matters is not what the goyim say, but what the Jews do.” The line is usually quoted as a rejoinder to concerns about “what will the world think” if Israel does such and such. But it is equally a proper rejoinder to justifying Israel’s conduct by reference to the hostility of the Palestinians, or anyone else, to Zionism. Zionism’s goal was a sovereign, independent Jewish state in the historic land of Israel, as a means to the moral and spiritual rebirth of the Jewish nation. If the occupation is destroying Israel’s fundamental character, dismantling the state, and corrupting the people, as Gorenberg contends, then Zionists above all should want to end it, as swiftly and comprehensively as possible, and not try to hold out for the most favorable terms—to say nothing of holding out for the approval and acceptance of those for whom the Jewish state can at best be seen as an unfortunate fact of life.
After all, it was always absurd to think that anyone but the Jewish people would ever truly endorse the aims of Zionism, because Zionism was a specifically Jewish national project. That project is properly judged a success or failure by what kind of nation it built, and how. Which is how Gorenberg judges it. And, to his dismay but not despair, he finds it wanting.

My concern with the Gentle Barn is the complete lack of financial oversight. They have a board, but have never had a board meeting nor produced any board minutes. They use Foundation monies for personal reasons regularly - for vacations, for their boat, for their kids, and to pay for their family therapy sessions. I believe that they do some good work with the animals and with their programs, but until the financial aspect is corrected, I would not donate money to them. Donate your time - that goes right to the animals, but your money may very likely not go to the care of the animals at all.
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Although you may think you have the best memory, and maybe you do, after reading so many pieces, you need a strategy to aid your memory about the pieces read. One of the most important strategies for helping you to recall what you read, including remembering some sophisticated analyses and observations made, is to write a summary and/or critical review of each text read. Write the summary or critical review immediately after reading a text. This type of focused writing strategy benefits all readers.
Yes, taking notes about the works one reads is a traditional method that is useful in aiding your recollection. Taking notes, however, does not involve the serious level of focus and engagement that writing summaries and critical reviews necessitates. This greater level of focus and engagement will not only ameliorate your ability to recall what you read but also significantly enhance your comprehension.
You can compose your summaries and critical reviews in a regular notebook or journal, but you might find it more fun to capture your summaries and critical reviews through blogging. By using blogging as your method of penning your summaries and critical reviews, you are able to share your writing with the world and engage and receive feedback from a global audience.
Blogger, Weebly, and WordPress are three excellent blogging platforms that you might consider using to blog your summaries and critical reviews of the pieces you read.
Most of us live busy lives. When you’ve invested your time and energy in reading a work, especially a long book or lengthy essay, do you really want to forget most or everything about the book or essay 6 months or a year after reading the book or essay? Let your summaries and critical reviews of those books and essays support your memory.

One month after mobbing out with Big Narstie on their latest collaboration, T Mula has come through with a brand new freestyle.
He linked up with the Brixton veteran on his crew 86’s cut “Show Me The Money”, but this time around he’s going in strictly solo, on a new set of bars he’s dubbed “Massacre Freestyle”. The new street visuals come courtesy of director Tee.
Watch “Massacre Freestyle” above now on GRM Daily. Catch up with “Show Me The Money” from 86 right here when you’re done.

I love having goals. And to-do lists. It just makes me happy to have something to strive for and then to accomplish it. I’m one of those crazy people who has about 6 to-do lists running at any time and if I do something that isn’t on my to-do list, I’ll write it on there and then cross it off. There is such a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment to strike through an items that has taken a long time to complete or was harder than expected (I’m looking at you half bath redo of 2017!).
My husbands goal is “to never have goals”. So when we headed to the mountains last week to celebrate Brooks’ 6th birthday with some time on the tubing hills, I had him confined in a small space for about 5 hours – plenty of time to push him to set our goals for the year!
And so I have something to check throughout the year, I’m going to share them today:
- Complete 6 one-on-one dates with our kids – 6 for me and 6 for Dean. I feel like we do a decent job of doing these now and want to continue it. I think it’s important for our kids to get special, individual time with us.
- Start a non-sports activity for each kid. Whether it is music, dance, theatre, martial arts, boy scouts, chess – I’d love for my kids do some individual activity that is more than be on a sports team. Expand their interests and hobbies.
- Take some vacations –
- An international trip with our kiddos. We went and got their passports ordered this month, so we’ll be ready to go somewhere fun. And I really enjoy traveling, so this is something I want to start doing for my kids so they have tons of cool adventures in their childhood.
- 10 year anniversary trip. We will hit the decade mark in October and I’d love to do a bigger trip to commemorate with my favorite husband. Hawaii is a top contender on our list right now, but we’re still very early in the planning process.
- Vacation with Dean’s family – My family tends to do a pretty good job of trips together (we’re headed to Maine this year and we also received an amazing Christmas gift from our parents – a siblings/spouses weekend away/no kids), but this is something that my husband’s family doesn’t do as often. I’d love to make sure we see his brother and their family – maybe meet at a beach for a long weekend together. And also to make a better effort to see Dean’s dad when he comes down to his Carolinas condo. I know the kids grow so fast and soon enough they’ll be teenagers who have no interest in family trips together, so let’s take advantage while we can!
- Get a couch for our living room. Our couches have been around for about 20 years, they were passed from my parents to me when I bought my first house about 10 years ago. I’ve been waiting for my kids to be old enough to let me have a nicer couch 🙂 It’s time.
- Get rid of our playset. When we bought our house in 2013, our kids were the perfect age (1 and 3) for the big playset in the backyard. Now, they’d rather spend their time playing sports in the front yard, not sliding and swinging. I think it will free up a lot of space in the backyard for extra play area.
- Furnish our living room. First up, curtains! Second, there is a really large blank wall in our living room and it just needs something on it. I’ve been waiting until I bought a couch to decide how to decorate (should it have a little sitting area in front of it, or just artwork?) All that will depend on the size and layout of our couch. Since we’re planning to do that this year (see house goal #1), I should be able to finish off this room.
- Hang a light fixture over our kitchen table. We have a few “builder” looking chandelier light fixtures in our house and this is one of them. It just doesn’t go with the rest of the house and the changes we’ve made. I’d love to find something that fits our style a little more. (And as my husband has requested – not from World Market – I’ve bought two chandeliers from them and both times we had a heck of a time installing it.)
- BONUS GOAL (this one is of course contingent upon having a solid year financially): Do a large project. A master bath upgrade (I want a bigger shower and smaller tub!) and an outdoor pergola/dining area have been on our house wish list for the past few years. Either of these projects would cost $5,000-10,000 so we’d have to make sure it made sense in the bank account.
- We always like to stretch ourselves on saving, tithing, college funds and retirement contributions so we’ve earmarked some goals here.
- Is 2018 the year of the car? My car is 11 years old and while the mileage is good (only 85k miles!), I don’t want to get stuck with a car that starts having problems and it seems this is around the time they start to happen.
- BONUS GOAL: Pay down mortgage principal. I’d love to be completely debt-free in the next 10 years and our mortgage is standing in the way.
- Dean’s goals:
- A full knee recovery. He’s looking at another possible knee surgery (we’re at the point where he needs some “buy two, get one free” surgery coupons!) and so he’ll need to work hard to rehab and get himself walking without a peg leg.
- His workout goal is 225×5 on the incline press. Whatever that means!
- Plan 3 entire date nights this year (picking the activity – can’t be just dinner (that’s our default), coordinating the date and babysitting, etc.)
- Ginger’s goals:
- Read 25 books. I’ve been on a reading kick for about the past year, so I think this should be do-able.
- My workout goal – do PiYo 2-3 times per week for the next 3 months so I can get more flexible and stronger. Also to be able to do 15 good push-ups. I am upper body weak!
- Go to counseling 3x this year. I feel this one has been on my list for several years, but I need to do it. I guess I’m just afraid of what will come up when I start. I don’t like feeling that vulnerable and open. Being a mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend – there are so many things I worry about and that stress causes friction in my closest relationships (Dean and the boys). I want to do better about this.
Well, I can’t wait to get to work and start crossing some of these things off my list! It will be a challenging year, but I know we can hit every single one of these. And now that I’ve put them out there, it makes me feel a little more pressure to get them done 🙂 #accountability

Pangaré is a coat trait found in some domestic horses that features pale hairs around the eyes and muzzle and underside of the body. These pale areas can extend up to the flanks, throat and chest, behind the elbows, in front of the stifle, and up the buttock. Animals with the pangaré trait are sometimes called "mealy" or "light-pointed." The color of these lighter areas depends on the underlying color and ranges from off-white to light tan. This type of coloration is most often found in primitive breeds like the Fjord horse, Exmoor Pony, American Belgian Draft, and Haflinger. Wild equids like the Takhi or Przewalski's Horse, Onager, African Wild Ass, Kiang as well as the domestic Donkey exhibit pangaré as a rule. Pangaré is thought to be a type of protective countershading.
Horse foals are often born with "foal pangaré" or light points, especially over black haired areas, which they lose when they shed their foal coats.
Dr. Phillip Sponenberg suggested that the "seal brown" coat color was caused by the action of pangaré on a black coat. However, seal brown horses have since tested negative for the recessive black genotype.
Chestnut horses with pangaré are sometimes called "Belgian sorrels."

In memory of Professor Dr. Karin Peschel (1935-2020)
Professor Karin Peschel passed away on 19 June 2020 at the age of 84. In the 1960s, Karin Peschel played an active role in the foundation of the “Gesellschaft für Regionalforschung”, the German Speaking Section of the Regional Science Association International, in which she remained active for over 50 years.
Born in Leipzig, Karin Peschel studied Economics at the University of Braunschweig. In 1963, she earned her Economics doctorate at the University of Münster. Her doctoral dissertation, conducted under the supervision of Andreas Predöhl, concerned itself with the market-based organisation of the transport sector. Having completed her doctoral studies, she decided to pursue an academic career in Economics, an unusual step for a woman in the 1960s. She habilitated in 1970 under the supervision of Rolf Funck in Karlsruhe. In 1971, she was successful in securing a professorship at the Institute of Theoretical Economics at Kiel University. In 1973, she replaced Reimut Jochimsen, assuming the leadership of the Institute for Regional Research.
Karin Peschel was also a much sought-after advisor on matters relating to regional, structural and innovation policy. She was active in numerous committees at the federal level. However, her home state of Schleswig-Holstein remained close to her heart, a commitment testified by her tireless and devoted efforts towards promoting economic prosperity in the region.
Family and colleagues mourn the loss of a dedicated scientist, a revered teacher and a beloved woman.

We believe that one should never have to choose between productivity and scalability, which has been the case with traditional approaches to concurrency and distribution. The cause of that has been the wrong tools and the wrong layer of abstraction and Akka is here to change that.
Akka is an, open source, unified runtime and programming model for scaling both UP (utilizing multi-core processors) and OUT (utilizing the grid/cloud). With Akka this will be taken to a whole new level with its “Distributed by Design”. Akka provides location transparency by abstracting away both these tangents of scalability by turning them into an operations and configuration task. This gives the Akka runtime freedom to do adaptive automatic load-balancing, cluster rebalancing, replication and partitioning.
In this talk you will learn what Akka is and how it can be used to solve hard scalability problems. Akka is available at http://akka.io (under Apache 2 license).

This handsome and sturdy Clergy License Plate features “CLERGY” in black letters against white background and the Episcopal denominational shield in red, white, and blue. Each plate measures 11 7/8" x 5 15/16", and comes with pre-drilled holes to fit most every license space.
Examine our on-line selection of resources relating to the Episcopal Church, as well as specific associated products available in the Related Products Section below.
Did you know. . .
According to the Reverend Clayton Morris, liturgical officer for the Episcopal Church Center, the general Convention adopted the Episcopal Shield in 1940. The red cross on the white field is the Saint George Cross. The Saint George Cross indicates the link between the Episcopal Church and the Church of England, the mother church of the Anglican Communion. The colors red, white and blue are the colors taken from the flags of both the United States and England.
The smaller white crosses in the blue quadrant symbolize the nine original American dioceses that met in Philadelphia in 1789 to adopt the constitution of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States. The outline of the small white crosses is in the form of the Saint Andrew's Cross, a tribute to the Scottish church's role in ordaining the first American bishop, Samuel Seabury of Connecticut, at Aberdeen, in 1784.

St. Jude Medical Japan Co. Ltd., has announced the launch of SyncAV™ CRT software, adding to its cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) portfolio. The SyncAV CRT software algorithm is designed to function independently to address and effectively treat heart failure patients, some of whom are not responsive to other pacing options.
CRT technology resynchronizes the ventricles in heart failure patients, but while studies have shown that CRT can improve outcomes and the quality of life for many, some patients do not respond optimally to traditional CRT, leaving physicians with limited options to improve their clinical outcomes for their patients. This group forms the target for St. Jude’s SyncAV technology.
The technology, which automatically adjusts pacing based on real-time changes in a patient’s cardiac condition, also provides physicians the opportunity to further improve treatment of patients who have responded positively to traditional CRT. By allowing physicians to activate SyncAV CRT independently, the software provides physicians additional options to individually optimize CRT settings for their heart failure patients, many of whom have resynchronization needs that can vary widely depending on their disease. SyncAV™ technology is compatible with existing Quadra Assura CRT-D and Allure Quadra CRT-P which have already been MRI conditional.
“We have made great improvements in how we are managing heart failure patients, but certain patients still do not get the desired outcomes from traditional CRT. The new SyncAV CRT algorithm individualizes programming to treat patients with the right settings at the right time to offer the best possible outcome for even our most complex patients,” said Dr. Takeshi Mitsuhashi, Saitama Medical Center Jichi Medical University, Saitama, Japan. “This technology offers patients who are not responding to therapy additional options for treatment with the goal of ultimately improving outcomes.”
“St. Jude Medical remains dedicated to continued leadership in heart failure management, helping physicians to manage some of their most complex patients. SyncAV CRT technology is another important advance that can help physicians manage their patients,” said Dr. Mark Carlson, vice president of global clinical affairs and chief medical officer at St. Jude Medical.

Reference no: EM132233859
For this assignment, you will use the "Claims 2" dataset. You will use Tableau to replicate the dashboard you created in the Topic 3 assignment. In addition, you will compare and contrast the Excel and Tableau software.
Part 1: Create a dashboard describing the data by age group (e.g., 21-30 yrs, 31-40 yrs, 41-50 yrs, 51-60 yrs, and 61-70 yrs). The dashboard should include the graphs and charts listed in the locations described. The dashboard should be submitted as a Tableau file. A sample layout is provided in the resource, "Data Visualization With Tableau Screenshot: Preview of the Tableau Dashboard."
1. Top Left: Bar graph showing the average number of ER visits for each of the five age groups. Show the actual average values above each bar.
2. Middle Left: Bar graph showing the average number of procedures for each of the five age groups. Show the actual average values above each bar.
3. Bottom Left: Bar graph showing the average claim cost for each of the five age groups. Show the actual average values above each bar.
4. Top Right: Pie chart showing the percent of the total sum of all claim costs for each of the five age groups. Show the actual percent values of each slice.
5. Bottom Right: Line graph showing the percent of each age group that has one or more ER visits. Show the actual percent values of each group. To create this chart, first create a new calculated column, named "Has ER Visit," that is equal to 1 when the patient has had one or more ER visits; otherwise 0. HINT: The average of a 0-1 column is a percent.
Part 2: In 250 words, compare and contrast the use of Excel and Tableau in data visualization. Include specific discussion about the following in your summary.
1. Software ease of use.
2. Software visualization capabilities.
3. Software limitations.
4. Discussion of when each of these software programs is most appropriate for use.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
Instructions: You need to have the software "Tableau". Your assignment will have a Tableau file showing the dashboard and a word document for the part 2.

Create a Life of Great Passion
Many of us – including me at times – live our lives so-so, lukewarm, without any intensity, without any authenticity, without enough fire to bring our lives to the boiling point. Our lives are filled with formality, doing right, coping with each other, never any genuineness, and never any passion. At this level nothing will happen – at best we will be mediocre.
What is passion? Passion is energy. Passion is fire, it is life, and it is intensity. Passion is enthusiasm for life. It is zest, it is zeal. It is love that has arisen from the heart and soul. The opposite of passion is indifference. It is living from fear. It is meaningless. It is absurd. It is ridiculous.
Create a life of great passion. Whatever you do – do it with great passion. If you sing then sing passionately. If you sweep the street then sweep it passionately. If you love then love passionately. If you talk – then talk passionately. Whatever you do – do it passionately. And from everywhere you will start having contact with God.
When you do something passionately you are in the zone. When you are being totally passionate the ego dies. You no longer care about the perception of others. You do it to please yourself. Dance such that the dancer disappears and only the dance remains. Speak such that the speaker disappears and only the speech remains. That is passion. It is pure energy. You have made contact. You are connected.
To truly love ourselves, we must begin first with discovering our real self – our true self – our higher self. Beneath the surface of all of our egos are a real self, a higher self, and a part of us that is connected to our source. It is the part of us that is in unity and connection with the all that is. But how do we find this higher self, this real self?
Have you ever been so into something that you lose yourself in it? You were connected to your higher self and totally in the moment. Whatever it is that you were doing is like a meditation. Your ego was not there at all – yet you were totally present. You were in the zone, you were passionate and it was the best feeling in the world.
Only mediocre people are egoistic. The really great people cannot be egoistic. The number one factor that imbued all great human beings is that they did what they did with enormous passion. When the passion is great the ego dies. The really great lives have a different dimension – The dimension of passion.
Transforming Lives - Inspiring Change
At a ultimate stage passion becomes transformed into compassion. There is a quantum leap from passion into compassion. The leap only happens when you are boiling at 100%. It is the same energy. Compassion is passion come of age. It is a continuation – it exists as passion and then one day it becomes compassion. It is not antagonistic. It is passion blooming. Do whatever you do – but be lost into it. Be consumed by it. Become it. That is meditation. That is energy vibrating.
The only way to life worth living is a life with passion.

There once was a time that tattoos were reserved for the bad ass and rebellious and their art would most likely never be seen by the average office worker. They were looked down upon as unprofessional and those who were inked would have to cover it up. In recent years this taboo has faded away and more and more people are choosing to express themselves through tattoos and are proud to show it at home and at the office. Getting a tattoo has moved from subculture to pop culture and are becoming more and more accepted.
We here at Save Your Tattoo believe your ink is meant to be seen. Instead of worrying about the best ways to cover it up, figure out how to keep it looking new. Show it off wherever you are and be proud, be tattooed, be you.
