I Dream My Brother Plays Baseball makes it into a university class
So I just got the coolest news. A friend teaches at Eastern Illinois University. He proposed a new class called "War Stories" and included my book, I Dream My Brother Plays Baseball, in the required reading. The class was approved. He will be teaching my book in unit 8. Hot damn! I have to thank Mary Ann Campbell for starting this...the high school where she teaches bought a class set and taught my book last school year (Love you MAC). Mary Ann invited me and had me to come in and give two readings and sit in on a class. I feel pretty darn happy abut this.

This past week we were invited up to “sunny” Newcastle by Ubisoft Reflections to come and take a look at their soon to be released title, Driver San Francisco. As we were ever so eager to get a look at the first Driver on the current generation of consoles, we accepted without hesitation.
The team at Ubisoft Reflections gave us an epic look at the multiplayer facet of the game, as well as a sneak peek at the single player campaign. We’ll be focusing on the multiplayer later in the week, but right now we want to tell you a bit about the single player. You want to know about it, right? Of course you do.
Tanner is back
Yes, that’s right. After a short hiatus, John Tanner makes a triumphant return in Driver San Francisco. His arch nemesis, Charles Jericho also makes a comeback. Both men survived the shootout at the end of Driver 3, and this latest entry in the series is set some six months after that particular event.
Tanner eventually catches Jericho in San Francisco, sending him behind bars in the process. Driver San Francisco begins shortly after this, and Jericho is being transported in the back of a prison truck. Things don’t go smoothly though, as Jericho manages to unshackle himself, overpower the guards and hijack the truck. Tanner and his trusty partner (Tobias Jones) witness this and pursue Jericho through the streets of San Francisco. The epic chase ends with Tanner colliding with a massive trailer, resulting in him ending up in a coma. That is where Driver San Francisco really begins, and the main mechanic of the game is introduced.
Now, you’ve probably heard about Driver San Francisco’s Shift mechanic, and not been entirely convinced by the concept behind it. Sure, it sounds slightly insane in relation to the story, but as a game mechanic it actually works really well. You’re always kept in the heat of the driving action, and frustration of a chase coming to a halt due to a crash or missed corner is kept to a minimum. It might sound like the Shift mechanic removes an element of a challenge from the gameplay, and in some respects that might be true. However, previous games in the series were always at their best when you were partaking in epic Hollywood style chases, and it seems like Ubisoft Reflections are aiming to mirror that feeling on a more consistent basis via this new Shift mechanic. Interestingly enough, Creative Director and founder of Ubisoft Reflections, Martin Edmondson, told us the inspiration behind the Shift mechanic came from Google Earth.
“Everyone’s been on Google Earth, and you look at your house or where you work. However, it’s a photograph that has been taken six months or a year ago.” said Edmondson. “Our idea really was to have this world that you could see in that way and be as reactive as that, but the whole world be running. All the pedestrians would be running around, all the cars would be driving around…the whole world would be actually running, that’s where the concept came from”.
We were also told that the Shift mechanic will upgrade as you progress through the story mode, starting off at a relatively slow street level and moving up to faster city based level, allowing you to travel greater distances over the 210 miles of road included within the game. In fact, it was mentioned, you could literally travel from one end of San Francisco to the other when the highest level of the Shift mechanic is unlocked towards the end of the game. To eventually upgrade it to that level, you will need to spend quite a bit of Willpower, which is the name given to the currency in Driver San Francisco. You will be able to earn Willpower by doing pretty much anything whilst playing the game. Pulled off a cool drift? You’ll earn Willpower. Performed an amazing jump? You’ll earn Willpower. Completed a mission? Yes, that’s right, you’ll earn Willpower.
Back to its silky smooth roots
Looking past the shift and upgrade mechanics though, the development team have been very vocal in saying that with Driver San Francisco they are taking the series back to its roots. This, of course, means that the in-game action will be confined to vehicles, and players won’t be able to traverse the streets of San Francisco on foot. It’s a bold move, but taking into account how Driver 3 turned out, it’s also a good one. The exclusion has also probably helped the development team get the single player portion of game running at a silky smooth 60 frames per second, which is something most titles struggle to do. In fact, when we asked Martin Edmondson about the subject, he stated it was “an absolute total focus” of the Ubisoft Reflections team to make sure the game ran at 60 frames per second.
“It was an absolute total focus because you can’t be wishy washy about that. You either go for it or you don’t” stated Edmondson. “The reason why we wanted it is because if you play a 60 frames per second and then play a 30 frames per second game, especially if you do it back to back, it’s just horrible. I completely accept that it’s just not possible in some games and it’s very difficult to achieve, but we thought it was worth it”.
Content and cars
Content wise, Driver San Francisco will feature over 200 missions. That number consists of the main story thread as well as the various different side missions the game has to offer. Edmondson told us an average single playthrough will take around 12 hours. He added that you can navigate your way though the game much quicker by doing less side missions, but it would make progression that little bit harder. Depending on which side missions you complete, not only will you be rewarded with experience, but your vehicles will get stronger and have their boost capacity increased.
Speaking of vehicles, the game will include around 130 full damageable licensed cars. Well known manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Dodge, Ford, Shelby, Volkswagen, Pagani, DeLorean and Lamborghini are all on board. The way the cars handle differs slightly depending on whether they are front or rear wheel drive, but don’t expect a model like what you would come across in Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport. It’s more akin to the likes of Burnout or Need for Speed, weighty but sensitive. As the game is mainly about driving stylishly whilst chasing down bad guys, it certainly makes sense to go down that particular road. The handling does take a while to get used to though (an hour or two at most), but once you do get to grips with it, you’ll find yourself screeching around corners on streets of San Francisco with considerable ease. It’s clear to see the development team have tried to make the handling model as accessible and fun as possible; it’s a point which Martin Edmondson even made during our chat with him.
“We focused a lot on the handling to make the game simply fun to muck about with.” explained Edmondson. “Personally, I enjoy just ragging around the streets and not even doing a mission, it’s just fun.”
Driving in the fast lane?
Driver San Francisco is certainly going back to its roots when it comes to putting pedal to the metal, but the introduction of the Shift mechanic makes the game feel very much different to the 1999 original. It’s hard to say if that is a positive or negative at the moment, but we can say with some confidence we’re looking forward to giving the full game a spin (or shift) when it’s released this coming September.
Driver San Francisco will be released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Mac, PC, Wii and 3DS in Europe on September 2nd and in North America on September 6th.

Main Text: Proverbs 6:7-8 – ‘…which having no guide, overseer or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer and gathereth her food in the harvest.
Proverbs 6:10-11 – yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep, so shall poverty come as one that traveleth and thy want as an armed man.
There is a common statement that states ‘there is no food for the lazy man. This is a very common statement that should be the watchword of everyman. Laziness is a habit that we should all desist from as it doesn’t speak well of anyone.
Laziness is an act of folly because every wise and diligent man understands the consequences of laziness. God says that he will bless the works of our hands. This goes to show that when we are lazy, there is nothing for God to bless you with.
Therefore, for you to receive the blessing of the Lord upon your life, you need to be engaged in something so that poverty will not come upon you.
God does not encourage laziness and it’s not an attribute of a child of God. A lazy man does not deserve anything good because he has nothing good offer.
One way to shun laziness is to develop yourself in a skill even when you are out of job. Just make sure you are doing something. A lazy man becomes redundant with time because he is not developing himself. God loves it when he sees his children engaged because it is out of your activities that God will lay his blessings on.
LAZINESS CREATES POVERTY.
BY BISHOP NGOZI DURUEKE (HE REIGNS CHAPEL INTERNATIONAL)

Prayer Point – God, give me the grace and strength at all times to do that which pleases you.

Welcome everyone to my blog.
Taylored Expressions is having a sale... YAY!
A2 to Mini Slimline Cards.. Let's get started.
Today I am featuring the Beautiful Baubles stencil and I paired it up with TE Simple Strips Thanks, Diagonal Stitched Rectangle die, Simple Strips Asymmetrical die and of course lots of TE awesome premium inks. (supply list below)
I first cut a piece of TE Cupcake card-stock 4 1/4x 5 1/4 and used the Diagonal Stitched Rectangle to get this cool stitch line border. I used some Post-it removable tape to mask off the areas that I did not want to stencil, which was inside the stitched line. Then I added my Beautiful Baubles stencil using the awesome new TE Bitty Blender Brushes and TE premium inks. I wanted a little shine so I added a few of the Clear Drip Drops.
I added a bit more color by layering on the backside a piece of TE Lollipop card-stock and then adhering all the layers to my card base. Finishing up with the sentiment from Simple Strips Thanks and die cut with the Simple Strips Asymmetrical die.
This A2 card is now ready to be shipped off in one of those pretty TE A2 colored envelops that TE has to offer. Now lets see how I used the same stencil on the Mini Slim card..
Mini Slim cards are so fun to create and I used the same Beautiful Baubles stencil. I thought it would be fun to show you how you can change the order of the ornaments. The layering stencils are that easy to use and as you can see I stenciled them on the same pretty Cupcake premium cardstock that I die cut using Stitched Mini Slim Stacklets. I still have that stitched line like the A2 above just a different die. I layered it over some of TE Vellum that I die cut using TE Petite Scallop Mini Slim Stacklets. I used the pre-cut, pre-scored Mini Slim Rainbow card pack. So handy to have them already cut and scored to make the perfect card.
I also added a little bling with the Clear Drip Drops and finishing up with another Simple Strips Thanks sentiment that I die cut with the Simple Strips Asymmetrical die.
This was a fun challenge to create two cards sizes using the same stencil. Use your Taylored Expressions supplies in many ways and if you don't own this awesome stencil well good news it is on sale.. Here are the details.
Oh yes you read it right... Make sure to check out the entire sale because there is much more to save on.
Thanks for stopping by.

The office was empty with the exception of a few people; the manager, his secretary
and a few mid-shifters who had nothing better to do than wait for work. They
all busied themselves with time-wasting work until something came
up, and the mid-shifters, Tom Davis and Hec Monroe, watched TV. Most businesses
like their offices to be buzzing with activity, but for this
business an empty office was a good thing- it meant work was being
done and money was rolling in.
The manager, however, was always in the market for more work.
And work, it seemed, needed to be done on a very special project. He set his
desk phone back in its cradle with a sharp grunt, one that indicated annoyance.
"Davis! Monroe! Get in here!" he shouted into his office intercom.
While he waited for the two men to shut off the TV and come in, he lit a fat
cigar and rolled it between his fat fingers.
Davis was the first through the flimsy office door with Monroe right behind
him. "Yeah, Boss?" Davis asked nervously.
The Boss pointed the tip of his smoking cigar at his phone. "That was
the foreman on the Greenville job. You know what he just told me?" he asked
the two men hotly. Davis and Monroe shook their heads wordlessly- how could
they know? They'd been watching Ricki Lake for the last hour, not listening
in on the manager's phone line. "He tells me," the Boss informed them,
"that there's a perfectly good stretch of road off Hutchis Street. Now,
why do you suppose that is?"
Monroe groaned. "Aw, hell, Boss. How're we supposed to know
about that? You got us workin' clear on the other side o' town all week."
The Boss scowled. "And how's that goin', anyway?" he asked.
Davis shrugged and answered for his partner. "Not bad," he said.
"Just this morning we saw a Jeep with a cracked axle next to a dilly
of a pot hole on Purvis Drive- while it was raining. Now that's
The Boss grinned cruelly as he shoved his Havana cigar back into his puffy
mouth and sucked on it thoughtfully. "Good," he mumbled through a
puff of smoke. "Real good. I want you two to leave that spot
alone for a while and work on that patch I just told you about."
David and Monroe looked at each other with mild surprise. "Now?"
"No! Not now, you moron!" Boss growled. "Wait
'till midnight, take one of those modified silent jack hammers and pound the
hell outta that road. And when you're done, cruise the area and see if you
can find a few more places that need some holes."
"But, Boss," Monroe protested, "we've been makin' pot holes
all week. Can't this wait 'till Monday?"
Boss threw his half-smoked cigar at Monroe and almost hit the man with it.
"We're here to make money, you dumb sack of shit!" he shouted. "Decent
roads mean less work and less money! Now get outta my sight and go fuck up some
roads or, so help me God, I'll reassign you to do real work!"
Davis nodded and jabbed his elbow into his friend's ribs to shut Monroe up.
"You'll let the cops know to watch out for us and keep the area clear,
"Of course I will," Boss said indignantly. "Don't I always?
Now go home and get some rest. You got work to do tonight!"

I’ve told you about the awesomeness that is Everth Cabrera. Now it’s time for the rest of the story.
The Padres held their Preview/Media Opening Night on Tuesday. Director of Media Relations Warren Miller was kind enough to invite several bloggers, myself included, to the event.
I arrived at Petco Park around 5 p.m., got my swag bag, and headed onto the field. I don’t know many of the local media folks, but I ran into my buddy Tim and the guys from RJ’s Fro. We stood around sampling some of the new food the Padres will be offering this year (at the restaurants, not the concession stands) and talking. At one point, Channel 4′s Jenny Cavnar stopped by and we introduced ourselves to each other.
Then we took batting practice. I got in maybe a dozen or so swings, mostly fouling pitches off or dribbling weak grounders here and there. But I squared up on the last pitch and drove it to deep second base. And I didn’t fall on my ass. That is my basic approach to hitting: Remain upright at all times; everything else is gravy. I smell book deal.
After that, Tim and I went out and shagged fly balls. More accurately, we watched the Padres game on the video scoreboard while waiting for something to come our way.
It didn’t happen, so I glommed onto the RJ’s Fro crew again and we headed over to our second event of the evening, a most excellent meetup held by Steve Adler of The Friarhood at the Tilted Kilt, just beyond right field. There I got to chat with Steve, Peter Friberg from Padres RunDown, Flash Gordon, and Matt from Gaslamp Ball, among many others.
I usually watch games in my home or at the ballpark. For whatever reason (friendless much?), I almost never go to sports bars. But you know, we had a blast out there on Tuesday. When Cabrera hit his triple in the seventh, the place went nuts. It was so gratifying to be surrounded by folks who care about the Padres… sometimes I forget they exist and get discouraged; it is good to be reminded.
Big thanks to our gracious hosts for these two events. Thanks to Warren for hooking us up with some tasty morsels and the opportunity to run around a big-league field. Thanks to Steve for bringing a bunch of Padres fans together to cheer our team to victory. Really, it doesn’t get much better than that.

California’s economic recovery will be like a slow ‘Nike swoosh’
California is unlikely to recover its pre-coronavirus prosperity over the next three years, economists say, even as the state slowly rebuilds from a catastrophic economic lockdown.
The Golden State’s gradual recovery will probably mirror the nation’s trajectory, according to a new UCLA forecast.
“The public health crisis of the pandemic morphed into a depression-like crisis in the [U.S.] economy,” wrote David Shulman, a senior economist at UCLA Anderson Forecast.
The trajectory of the nation’s economy will be like a “Nike swoosh,” Shulman wrote: Real gross domestic product will plunge this quarter — at a 42% annual rate — and then gradually rise, not returning to its late-2019 peak until early 2023.
Even that gradual return to normal activity is based on a somewhat optimistic scenario — that the COVID-19 pandemic will subside, avoiding a pause in the recovery or another wave of shutdowns.
“The strong assumption is the abatement of the pandemic this summer,” wrote Jerry Nickelsburg, director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast. “But we must keep in mind that the pandemic assumption is just that: an assumption.”
California’s unemployment rate, which was 16.3% in May, will average out to 10.5% for the year, the forecast estimated. It will drop to 8.2% in 2021 and to 6.8% in 2022, it predicted.
By comparison, in February — before the pandemic slammed the state’s economy — the jobless rate was 3.9%.
Two other forecasts suggest a somewhat slower bounce-back for the Golden State this year.
“Even with the recovery, there will be 800,000 fewer jobs in California by the fourth quarter as compared to the first quarter” of 2020, according to a Chapman University outlook released this week. It predicts an average 11.3% unemployment rate this year.
Beneath the fury over George Floyd’s death lie longstanding economic inequities that have plagued California’s 2.6 million black people.
Nonetheless, the Chapman economists suggested, the post-pandemic comeback could be “rapid” compared with the recovery from the Great Recession, which “dragged on for seven quarters.”
Scott Anderson, chief economist at the Bank of the West predicts California joblessness will average 11.5% this year, 9.8% in 2021 and 7.3% in 2022.
“California business shutdowns have been longer lasting and more severe than many states,” said Anderson said. “The recovery in leisure and hospitality and trade will likely be slower than the nation. And high costs of living convince more folks to leave the state for greener pastures: regions with better job prospects and lower living costs.”
Beyond the private-sector effects, Anderson noted the collapse in state income and sales tax revenues.
“Like an earthquake, this is only the start,” he wrote in the bank’s June forecast. “State and local spending is expected to fall sharply to help balance the state budget, further weighing on California’s job creation.”
The UCLA forecast expects a sluggish trajectory for personal income in California, which would drop 0.9% this year, rising just 1.4% next year and 2.2% in 2022.
Employers won’t be quick to add new jobs. The UCLA forecast expects payrolls in California to shrink 9.3% overall this year, then grow at 0.4% next year and 6.6% the year after.
The COVID-19 pandemic is unleashing a wave of labor unrest harnessing front-line workers’ fear and anger across California and the nation.
From February to April, California lost 2.56 million payroll jobs, a 15% loss. That’s more severe than the job losses caused by the Great Recession of 2007-09, when the state shed 1.3 million positions, or 8%, over 26 months.
Unlike that recession, which was driven by an unprecedented decline in the construction industry, two sectors — leisure and hospitality as well as retail — drove this year’s pandemic-caused meltdown, accounting for half of the lost jobs.
As restaurants, event spaces and tourist attractions reopen, those jobs won’t all come back, the UCLA forecast predicted.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has created a sense of caution on the part of the general public, both within California and among tourists who might come to the state,” the UCLA forecast said. “Potential customers for these businesses will want to feel safe before venturing out.”
By the end of 2022, it predicted, the leisure and hospitality sector would remain 20% below its previous peak.
“That translates to 200,000 relatively low-income Californians with long-term unemployment for 30 months,” the forecast said. “Some will find employment in other sectors, but in an economy that is demanding technical skills, it will be challenging.”
Retail employment, battered by the rise of online shopping and the bankruptcies of bricks-and-mortar chains, may also remain 20% below pre-pandemic levels, the UCLA forecast suggested, with 160,000 fewer jobs.. But it emphasized the uncertainty of its prediction: “It depends in a crucial way as to what happens when the economy opens up. Do consumers go back to the mall, or do they shun it?”
Chapman’s forecast noted that the concentration of job losses in retail, restaurants, hotels and other tourism-related businesses means a smaller loss in earnings than if the jobs were, for example, in construction or technology.
Workers in retail and leisure and hospitality earn relatively low wages — about half the statewide average. “Because of that, the economic damage to the state will be far less than that implied by the huge job losses,” according to the Chapman forecast.
Construction is expected to rebound fairly rapidly, and “the average annual salary for a construction worker is $71,300 versus $30,400 in leisure and hospitality,” the Chapman economists wrote. And information services, a California industry that has remained stable, “commands an average salary of $187,200 versus $68,400 for all industries.”
UCLA economists predicted healthcare and social services, where medical and dental offices and childcare venues suffered steep losses, would recoup jobs “much more rapidly” than retail or leisure and hospitality.
“Medical offices will be moving back to normal as they institute protocols that will assure their patients of safety during visits,” the UCLA economists wrote. And as for childcare, even though more people than usual will be working from home, “that might not diminish the need for childcare as a distraction-free environment may be desired.”
Watch LA Times Today at 7 PM/10PM on channel 1 on Spectrum News 1, and on Cox systems in Palos Verdes and Orange County on channel 99.
Comparing California with the overall United States, the UCLA forecast said the state’s disproportionate reliance on international tourism would mean a somewhat slower recovery in leisure and hospitality and retail. Transportation and warehousing sectors could also see a more sluggish return in California than nationwide because of the U.S.-China trade war, which disproportionately affects California’s massive ports.
On the other hand, the Golden State should recover faster than the overall nation in business, scientific and technical services and in the information sector “due to the demand for new technologies for the new way we are working and socializing.”
For example, Nickelsburg suggested, “there will be new technologies for people working at home. And there is telemedicine.”
As for the housing sector, UCLA’s forecast projected the building of 94,000 new units in California this year, down 17.3% from last year.
“In spite of the recession, the continued demand for a limited housing stock coupled with low-interest rates leads to a forecast of a relatively rapid return of home-building,” Nickelsburg wrote. But even with many construction jobs returning, he said, “the prospect for the private sector building out of the housing affordability problem over the next three years is nil.”
In an article accompanying the forecast, economist Leila Bengali suggested that “the pandemic has had small, though generally negative, effects on housing markets as of March 2020 …. [It] may shift consumer preferences towards single-family, lower density homes and away from denser multifamily homes, particularly if consumers are able to live further from their employer’s location.”
And if the state’s Tenant Protection Act, which took effect in January, “negatively affects landlords’ business costs and revenues, they might respond by exiting the rental market, reducing the supply of homes for rent but potentially increasing the supply of homes for sale if property conversions occur quickly.”
The pandemic’s effect and tenant protection laws across the country “are becoming interconnected as cities and states pass moratoria on evictions for non-payment of rent,” she added.

“When Our Lord walked the earth, teaching, directing, instilling the Beauty of the Heavens, the Wisdom of The Father, and the Direction that was to be taught for all children born to the world, He did not carry a book for He did not need a book. He was the Writer, He was the Channel, the Funnel through which All Teaching and Direction came from.
Through time, the Beauty of What He taught and instilled, What He left behind in knowledge and wisdom, has been watered down by many, many men. In so many areas they have used the basic Truths and dressed Them up with their inadequate, insufficient opinions; not embracing the solid Facts, but piercing the Facts with weak definitions, patronizing and compromising because of their acceptance of a humanistic view rather than a Divine Mystical Truth.
Men fear the hydrogen bomb, the atom bomb, dreading physical diseases, mental breakdowns; but few men fear the collapse of their Soul. They nourish their bodies, they nourish their mind with what is available to them, refusing to establish a fund or a bank account for the Soul that is to return to God.
The Ten Commandments were given to men for yesterday, today and tomorrow. They are fundamentally Sound Guidelines for the whole of man. Let us take just a few of The Commandments and see where They teach on the whole of man.
Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery. Adultery has many facets to it. It is promiscuity, permissiveness, sinful first, of course, against God; next, against another human being or several human beings; third, it involves a physical act that sometimes is followed by mental disturbance, physical disease that is harmful to every part of the body and mind. It is obviously a very needed Commandment.
Now let us take the Fifth Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Kill. When this is read, people immediately think that a life is ended and that they would never end another man’s life. What about the other facets of this Commandment: killing the hope of another person’s enthusiasm, interest, talent, love; killing the desire to improve their life, killing their desire to love God more? There are so many ways in which this Commandment was meant by God, and so few times anyone looks beyond that one four letter word, ‘kill’.
Now let us take the Seventh: Thou Shalt Not Steal. My, how many ways there are to steal — a loaf of bread, money, clothes; these are just a few of the obvious things. But what about stealing a person’s freedom of their will? What about stealing another man’s motivation, initiative, by an overbearing, domineering personality or nature? What about stealing the talents of another human being? What about stealing the Faith of an innocent child? What about stealing the moral values of someone who believes in what you say, holds you up as an example? What about stealing another person’s love for God, insisting that they show more love for you physically? Also, what about stealing the privilege of procreation, through selfish motives, selfish acts, self-love, self-righteousness?
Now let us take the Fourth Commandment. What does ‘honor’ truly mean? Does it not mean respect, obedience? Does it not involve human privilege, involvement and acceptance for the whole of the human way — the body, mind and Soul? The responsibility of a mother and a father never ends. It is basically a reflection of the Authority and Protection of Our Heavenly Father and of Our Heavenly Mother. When we act with disrespect, a lack of Faith, a selfishness, we sin first against The Divine, and then against our human family. Each action we take, each word we say is a reflection of how we accept our moral responsibilities and our full acceptance of the role God intended for us. Through our actions we, in turn, will reflect to our children what we have not only absorbed, but done ourselves; so the chain of reaction, respect, dignity, obedience, will affect the whole of a human being.
Remember, God is All Things, so no Words from Him can have merely one meaning. A Word of God’s, in any language It is translated, can mean many things and yet be brought back directly to one of The Commandments He gave through Moses.”

I’ve added a new hike at my website. You can find more details here: Angel Falls Rapid Trail.
Angel Falls Rapid Trail, which is 3.6 miles roundtrip, is located in Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, which straddles the Tennessee-Kentucky border.
From the early Native Americans who hunted the area to the more recent inhabitants who mined the land for its coal, the Big South Fork area of the Cumberland Plateau has seen a lot of history over the past 12,000 years. The Cherokees that lived in the area were pushed out by the arrival of fur trappers in the late 1700s. By 1810, the first pioneer settlers arrived to build farms and mine saltpeter. Following the Civil War, the land was mined for coal and stripped of timber before its oil and gas resources were developed.
The 125,000-acre park features waterfalls and numerous rock formations as well as its famous river. The constantly moving water that eroded the sandstone and shale that make up the top layer of the plateau caused the park’s distinct features. The limestone beneath layer beneath contains the parks oil and gas deposits. The park also features a wide variety of wildlife arranging from Black Bear and Elk to 60 species of fish and 160 species of native and migratory birds.
Directions: There are numerous ways to access the park depending on which section you wish to visit. You can reach the Bandy Creek Visitor Center (from which you can get more information) by taking US 27 north from Interstate 40, Exit 347, to Oneida. In Oneida, turn left (west) on Tennessee 297 and travel about 15 miles. The Visitors Center and Bandy Creek area is to your right after you cross the Big South Fork River. There are also Visitors Centers for the park in Rugby and Crossville (which is on Central Time).

9 reasons to attend the Make it British Live! Symposium
Whether you are a start-up brand or an established buyer, here are 9 great reasons why you will benefit from attending the Make it British Live! Symposium
Investing the time and money in attending the talks at Make it British Live! will be well worth it – with 25 speakers lined-up over the two days there will be loads of valuable information to take away
1. You’ll understand what ethical garment production really means
There’s been a lot of talk about the ethical credentials of UK factories. Jenny Holloway has spent four years developing a completely transparent manufacturing system at her London based factory, which is one of the largest garment manufacturers in the UK. Jenny will prove that it is possible to manufacturer on a large scale in the UK and still remain ethical and affordable.
2. You’ll find out the right (and wrong) ways to fund a British-made business
One of the speakers is fashion entrepreneur and brand-building specialist Simon Middleton. Simon has successfully crowdfunded two businesses using Kickstarter and is now raising funds for his third brand Blackshore. He’ll be sharing his wisdom gained from his own experience of funding a British-made brand as well as warning you of the possible pitfalls.
3. You’ll learn how zero waste and sustainability fits into a UK supply chain
Zero waste and sustainability remain a hot topic in the fashion and textile industry. Evolving legislation and consumer demand for ethical products means that sustainability needs to be high on every brands agenda. Three industry experts, from very diverse parts of the sector, will debate the topic with you at the symposium. They are – Stephen Cawley, Head of Sustainability at John Lewis, Charlie Ross, Founder of Offset Warehouse, and Dr Lynn Wilson, designer, researcher and circular economy expert.
4. You’ll find out how important export is to British-made businesses
Recent figures show UK exports of British-made goods are at their highest for seven years, and with surveys showing that international consumers are willing to pay up to 22% more for a product made in Britain – that’s a great opportunity that brands should be capitalising on. Learn more from our export panel comprising cult British designer, Nigel Cabourn, Ian Mclean, director at world famous knitwear manufacturer John Smedley and Christian Robinson director at Tiffany Rose, two times winner of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in recognition for its significant growth in export sales.
5. You’ll clear up any confusion about trademarking your designs and intellectual property
6. You’ll learn how mass-customisation is changing the face of manufacturing
The modern world is a customisable world, with consumers wanting goods configured to their individual specifications. What are the opportunities to implement this in the fashion industry? And how do you put it into operation? Digital technology experts, Lectra, will deliver a talk about the future of mass customisation in manufacturing and the impact it can have on your brand.
7. You’ll find out why investors are snapping up British businesses
What have Robert Yentob, chairman at Dents and Corgi, Tim Little, owner of Genson, William Church of Cheaney Shoes and Sam Morrison director at Smyth & Gibson, the only surviving shirt factory in Derry, all got in common? They’ve all invested in heritage brands that manufacture in the UK. Find out why they did it and what they think the future holds for these brands long term.
8. You’ll learn how to collaborate with British-suppliers
Working with a manufacturer is a partnership and one that requires commitment from both sides. Whether you’re a start-up business or a multi-national retailer there is no reason it can’t work for both parties. Shailina Parti and Lucia Wood will tell the story of how they collaborated with several specialist British suppliers for Jigsaw and helped bring provenance to the brand.
9. You’ll learn ways to address the skills gap in the industry
How to attract young people intofashion manufacturing is one of the greatest challenges for anyone in UK textiles at the moment, and something that effects everyone. Without skilled staff, factories will be unable to keep up with the demand being placed on them, and securing local production will become harder and harder.
Find out how this is being addressed by organisations such as the UKFT, and hear what is being done to address the skills gap.
I hope that the above has convinced you that it’s worth taking some time out of your business to attend the Symposium.
There are just a limited number of tickets available, so if you are planning on attending make sure to book yours soon!

Credit: DoD.In Supreme Command: Soldiers, Statesmen, and Leadership in Wartime, Eliot Cohen argues that civilian leaders need to be deeply involved in the creation and execution of military strategy. His examination of Abraham Lincoln, Georges Clemenceau, Winston Churchill, and David Ben-Gurion shows that civilian leaders who immerse themselves in politico-military decision-making fare better than those who leave the most important decisions to their generals. Cohen published his book in 2002, just in time for President George W. Bush to read it during a vacation in Texas, about six months before U.S. forces invaded Iraq.

Stephen M. Walt is the Robert and Renée Belfer professor of international relations at Harvard University....When Franklin Roosevelt took the United States into World War II, he did so on the basis of very clear strategic reasoning. As outlined by the 1941 "Victory Program," he understood that if Germany defeated the Soviet Union and was able to consolidate the industrial power of Europe, it might pose a potent long-term threat to U.S. security. That logic led him to back Great Britain through Lend-Lease and to work assiduously to bring the U.S. into the war. Going to war was a big step back then, it's no accident that this was the last time Congress issued a formal declaration of war.

David Ignatius is a columnist for the Washington Post.Ten years ago this week, I was covering the U.S. military as it began its assault on Iraq. As I read back now over my clips, I see a few useful warnings about the difficulties ahead. But I owe readers an apology for being wrong on the overriding question of whether the war made sense.Invading Iraq to topple Saddam Hussein a decade ago was one of the biggest strategic errors in modern American history. We’ll never know whether the story might have been different if better planning had been done for “the day after,” or the Iraqi army hadn’t been disbanded, or several other “ifs.” But the abiding truth is that America shouldn’t have rolled the dice this way on a war of choice....

Because of his malformed hand, he attracts Shallan's attention. He keeps it tucked into his sleeve, but is capable with his good hand. Shallan, trying to get the attention of the revel, takes enough food for extras. She takes pity of Grund, and starts handing out food. He is usually very happy to see her. What she doesn't know is that the Grips, a gang in Kholinar, find out about this, and they force Grund to hand over whatever she brings. Grund had to spend all day waiting for her gifts so that the Grips could take it.
One time, Grund acts strained and lies to her that he is fine. When Shallan brings in a meager load, Grund accepts it, but the Grips do not. They get angry and kill Grund. Shallan, suspicious, had stayed back and saw the whole thing. Grund lived long enough to tell Shallan how much he and all of the other people she 'blessed' hated her.
It has yet to be reviewed.

Alexandria, back in vogue?
Alexandria seems to be enjoying a mild vogue. This summer it was Mediterranean culture capital, although I haven't heard much about the activities that took place there.
In its last issue, the magazine Saudi Aramco World has an interesting article about Alexandria's medieval history (although as always the oil company-sponsored-magazine treads carefully and vaunts the city as a peaceful meeting ground of cultures and religions).
In fact, Alexandria has been both a meeting ground and a battle ground, a true melting pot that at times has boiled over. Sectarian tensions between Muslims and Coptic Christians continue to run high there.
But the period of Alexandria's history that seems to be of the most interest these days is the pre-Islamic one. Youssef Zeidan's "controversial" novel Azazeel is party set in Alexandria in the fifth century B.C., at a time when the city is transitioning from pagan to Christian worship.
The recent movie Agora also deals with this period, and with the famous female mathematician Hypatia (of which little is known besides the fact that she was killed by a Christian mob).
The movie isn't very good. Not because, as one American reviewer wrote: "the film serves as a startlingly shrill attack on Christianity, positioned here largely as a breeding ground for hypocritical sadists who stand in direct opposition to reason and science" (I think rather the review reveals a startlingly naive view of Christianity's history). But because all the characters are one-dimensional. The reconstructions of ancient Alexandria, on the other hand, are quite exciting.
A movie I'm looking forward to is the next from Ahmad Abdalla (the director of Heliopolis), which was shot in Alexandria and features local musicians and street artists. The movie should be released soon.

Hey there BCU Fam!
For this post, because of the informal format, please tune into the podcast recording (click here or on the BCU avatar below) and refer to the written post for the highlights. We pray the post blesses and encourages you. If so, please thumbs up AND leave a comment! Thank you and enjoy the post!
- In my recent internet travels, an influencer spoke about fear as is relates to people-pleasing.
- While trauma is usually the reason, basically speaking, people-pleasing is rooted in the spirit of fear.
- Sometimes, we operate in the fear of what will happen if we say “no” to people, especially if they are powerful, have influence, have something we need, or have a habit of “making” us feel guilty. That is called a snare.
- If God tells us to say no, we must trust that He has better way, and His way will keep us safe.
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.
People-pleasing is rooted in the spirit of fear. What is it about this person that we are so afraid of?Tweet
BCUFam, people-pleasing and the addiction to people-approval is a subtle snare set up by the enemy, and many of us have gotten caught up in it. The good news is that Jesus has come to set us free from the fear of people! If we can trust that He will take care of us despite what the people say, then we will ALWAYS be safe. Let’s pray!
Father in the name of Jesus, we thank you for your Word that reminds us that we do NOT have to live in the fear of people. As we come before you, please forgive us for the times that we allowed fear to put others before You, Lord. Also, Lord, please forgive us for being the person who used fear to set a snare for someone else.
In the name of Jesus, we ask you to please come in set us all free from the snare of people-pleasing! Break every chain of people-approval, over-explaining ,and even being the person who is using our power or influence to make someone fearful of us. Free us, Jesus from the guilt that comes after we say “no”. And Lord, if we are being told “no”, help us to receive it graciously! Bless us to remember not to be a snare to anyone, because You supply our needs, Jesus. We trust that You will work everything out for us, Your way and in Your time. So while we wait, we thank You, Jesus for sustaining us.
Fill our hearts and minds with your perfect love, as I John 4:18 reminds us, that casts out all fear, and please bless us to continue walking in our deliverance and victory! Thank You Jesus for blessing us to trust in You, so that we are safe. We thank You for answering our plea, and will ever give Your Name the praise, glory and honor for Who You are and all You do for us. It is in Jesus name we pray and thank You, Lord! Amen!

Rex turned 39 on Friday. My husband, as you readers have probably figured out, is a pretty understated kind of guy. The time I threw him a surprise luau? That went over about as well as my landlord appreciated the lawn chairs and tables littering the driveway to his walk-up apartment complex.
I learned, a little too late, that there's a lovely middle ground between not making a fuss and doing practically nothing. I ordered pizza - a rare treat for us boring healthy eaters. The kids made him a card and we sang our little hearts out to him the moment he walked in the door.
But... there was no pistachio ice-cream. (His favorite.) There was no additional home-made goodies. (A nice salad with fresh tomatoes and dressing? Nope.) The look on his face when he thought I was bringing out a kid-created angel food cake and his crabby wife plopped 2 pre-made chocolate lava cakes on the center of the table? Eeeeeeckkkhhhh. Heart wrenching.
The night, honestly, sucked. To my credit, it's not in my general nature to blow this stuff off. I'm always making the magic and laughing and making a fuss for everyone. But that night - I just didn't have it in me.
But, unlike an orgasm, I should have just faked it.
The bad news - I totally, singlehandedly, without a doubt made it probably the worst birthday ever. If it weren't for two friends who showed up unexpectedly and made us laugh out loud with their tales of home made beer making and Disneyland Halloween plans, it would have gone down as one of the worst nights in 2010.
The good news - Rex forgives easily. Also, I made it up to him the very next day. Can we say angel hair pasta (his favorite) with chopped basil and cubed tomato? The kids and I topped it off with angel food cake and another rendition of "Happy Birthday!"
Later that night he and I totally talked it out. I took responsibility for where I was at that week - moody - and he reminded me again that it's not a 14-piece song and dance he needs. Just a little attention - and rightly so. I'll take some of that myself.
It's not like Rex is an angel in the birthday/gift department. The first five years of our marriage I can count on one hand how many times he found it necessary to celebrate a special occasion with a gift. He's just not a materialistic kind of guy, which I've come to accept about him. But he does appreciate the little details. And when I forget those, he's kind of bummed.
To answer your question, "Did I do this on purpose as payback for his past transgressions?" the answer is, "No." I simply, for the first time in a very long time, ran out of juice. I'm working on recharging those batteries as I type this! Rex is awesome, but he can't do it for me. Though he can certainly plug me in... always appreciated... wink wink.)
Anyone else out there mess up their spouses birthday? If so, how did you make it up to them?
Rex, I really am sorry. I love you!

The Government doesn’t have an easy decision with 38 Oxley
Han Fook Kwang of the Straits Times said that the only matter that concerns the government is whether to preserve 38 Oxley Road and “that any other issue, including how the late Mr. Lee Kuan Yew decided on his will and who his lawyers were has nothing to do with the Government, or with you and me, least of all a committee of ministers.”
The few options that the government has: demolish, preserve or some intermediate option, are all intricately linked to to Mr. Lee’s will.
The Prime Minister had never wanted to involve the Government. He specifically requested to be recused from decisions. This is hardly surprising. Any politically astute person would know that subjecting yourself to a conflict of interest would do you no favours.
The matter of 38 Oxley consists of three strands, each one intertwined with the other:
1.) Allegations on abuse of power by the Prime Minister
2.) Clarity on Mr. Lee’s will. Did he really want the house demolished? The demolition clause were in the earlier ones, but not later and it appeared again in his final will. Both law firms that were supposed to have drafted the final will curiously denied having done so.
3.) What should the Government do?
The allegations on abuse of power is the easier to be dealt with – its rightful platform would be an inquisition in Parliament. This is how peers are tried and Presidents impeached. As the holder of both Executive and Legislative powers, this is a matter for Parliament and not the Judiciary.
The second strand is the more difficult one. Clarity on Mr. Lee’s will would lead to a basis for the third strand: a decision on what the Government should do.
It is not as simple as “He said demolish, let’s just demolish”.
Lee Hsien Yang asked “Was Lee Kuan Yew unwavering in his demolition wish?” Well, the answer is – we do not know until a proper investigation had taken place. From reports of the matter from all siblings, the answer is not so clear.
A ministerial committee had been setup for this purpose. All stakeholders are questioned, inquiries are made and ultimately a decision has to arrived at. The decision is not for immediate action also, it is material for the government 20 or 30 years later. It may consist of Ministers and MPs who probably are mere infants today. It may be a Worker’s Party or a coalition government – people whom have never worked with Lee Kuan Yew or know the Lee family.
Meanwhile, there’s nothing much to do now but wait for the 3rd of July. Any newer material being spewed out now by any party would just make for more and more baseless allegations, or meaningless defences.
It is no longer merely a matter between 3 people in a family.

Kiss Plotting Biopic on Band’s Early Days and Formation
Longtime Kiss manager Doc McGhee has revealed that the band is “in the middle” of a feature film project.
“It’s basically the formation of Kiss and how that came about,” the music veteran revealed during a Q&A on board the Kiss Kruise.
McGhee is no stranger to the world of biopics. The manager also worked with Motley Crue in the ‘80s, resulting in his character appearing in the film The Dirt. To that end, he didn’t sound overly impressed with the Crue movie.
“It’s not very deep,” McGhee said of The Dirt, adding that he thought the band “was more important” to music and culture than the movie portrayed. The manager went on to note that the production hired the director of Jackass, "and that’s what they got.”
Kiss have ventured into the cinematic world before. Notably, the 1999 movie Detroit Rock City centered its plot on a ‘70s-era Kiss concert. It was a box-office failure, a response McGhee partly attributed to misguided expectations.
“We did Detroit Rock City, which I thought was a better film than what everybody thought it was. I think now it’s become more of a classic than it was when it came out,” the manager opined. “I think that they played the Kiss card too soon. If somebody said this is a U2 movie, whether I like U2 or don’t like U2, I might not go see it, because it was a U2 film. But it [Detroit Rock City] was really a coming-of-age film.
“So for us now, for a biopic, like a Bohemian Rhapsody or something like that, it’s important to make sure you have the right partners, and you don’t get Jackass. You get something that’s true to what Kiss is.”
When asked about a timeline for the film's release, McGhee was noncommittal. “We’re in the middle of it now, and I think it will come out before the end of next year. It should … ,” he paused, smiled, started to laugh and said, "Or it won't come out. That film is the only one we're looking at."

An Arizona town wants to allow prayers before council meetings.

But Councilman Rob Hudelson, a Baptist pastor, asked for a change to the resolution so that only … Continue reading Some Prayers Not Allowed
Republican candidate Ben Carson stirred up some press when he suggested that there should be a religious test for public office — or at least for the highest public office, anyway: “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation,” Carson said in an interview televised on NBC’s “Meet the … Continue reading A Religious Test for the Highest Public Office?
Rainbow Doritos oppress Christianity (more specifically, the far right flavours thereof).

Today in religious freedom, NC mayoral candidate Eugene Holmes is running on the eradicate LGBT people platform.

We all want to look our best every day, but sometimes we take on bad habits that keep us from it. We know we should avoid smoking, staying in the sun too long, and eating junk food, but that isn’t enough. Here are 10 great beauty habits you should work into your daily life.
1. Keep Makeup Light
Unless you’re going to the Academy Awards, there’s no reason to cake on the makeup, especially during the day. Not only does heavy makeup look unnatural, it’s bad for your skin. If you’re constantly clogging your pores with thick foundation and concealer, your skin will look tired and greasy. Clogged pores look dull and cause breakouts. Putting too much eye makeup on can cause wrinkles because you’re constantly pulling on the delicate skin around your eyes. Reduce the amount of makeup you apply every day, and consider taking 1 or 2 days off from makeup each week to give your skin a break.

Love Jerks at Filoli Garden (all photos: Patric Carver)
Some people are in a band, some people are a band. Love Jerks, which is married couple Rebecca Garza-Bortman (formerly of Happy Fangs) and Bryan Garza (Scissors for Lefty), definitely are a band.
The duo released their debut album Million Movies in 2018, and were on a steady climb to dominate the Bay Area rock scene until the pandemic hit. Their sound is a heart-and-soul rock sound that makes all songs sound anthemic. Combine equal parts pre-Private Audition Heart, DEVO, the Strokes, a dash of Rush (without such a Dungeons-and-Dragons focus), and a heaping spoonful of the Carpenters and you’re on your way to imagining the Jerks’ sound. It’s soul-filling.
The Jerks play shows that bleed with joy. In fact, just weeks before the closure of everything the Jerks played a show at DNA Lounge in which they gleefully shared pizza with audience members.
Musing on the changes that have occurred since then, Bryan nearly winces. “Looking back, I’m like, ‘How did we do that? How was it not a super-spreader event?'”
“Did you tell her about the pizza?!?” Rebecca calls out, making sure I got the full extent of the pre-pandemic event. “We were going through the audience, just handing out pizza,” she adds. “We were kissing people on the face!”
The pandemic life for them has also had other changes — they welcomed to the world their own little jerk about eighteen months ago.
There’s a Love Jerks tradition of marking all major life events with music — for example, their wedding was a rock opera. Celebrating the addition to their family was no different.
“I was taking a lot of classes. I probably took too many classes,” Rebecca said of her pregnancy. “I was in these classes with other pregnant people, and I was like, I want to be surrounded by pregnant people all the time.”
That, combined with research about dance party gatherings, is where the idea for A Pregnant People Prance Party was born. The event invited all pregnant people to come to a dance party at Oakland’s Fairyland in hopes of breaking the world record of most pregnant people in a music video.
The record was apparently broken, the babies have since been born, and the world still waits for dance parties to come back. Like the rest of us, the Jerks are perched on the edge waiting for the chance to get back out there and make some rock and roll.
To cut the anticipation, they are releasing a video of their new single, “Out of Body.” The video features footage from the dance party, where beautiful pregnant bodies are all dancing together. There’s also a pair of fantastic sperm and egg costumes featured prominently.
“We were going for a Isabella Rossellini Green Porno effect,” said Bryan. Mission accomplished. Just as it would be remiss to dismiss the science of Green Porno because of the cute puppets, “Out of Body” shouldn’t be seen as just a soundtrack to commemorate the gathering. It is a delightful song in its own right. Cheerful like Tom-Tom Club with a slight hint of the coolness for coolness’ sake of bands like Aztec Camera, the new wave / funk sound is perfect for experiencing the body — whether it’s appreciating your own body or admiring the ethereal magic of growing a new human.
I’m not much of a dancer, but I can’t wait to boogie with these Jerks again.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Red’ on Track to Sell One Million Units
We can picture it now: Taylor Swift walks into the board room at her record company only to be confronted by Dr. Evil (Mike Myers). While stroking his hairless kitty, Evil tells America's prettiest country pop superstar that her new album is on track to sell "One. Million. Units." Cue the wicked laugh.
Billboard reports that Swifty's fourth album sold 500,000 units on Monday alone and is on track to double that number by the end of the week. If she nails the landing, Swiftness will be the first female artist in Soundscan history (1991-present) to repeat sales of 1 million units with two separate albums. TayTay will be joining a very elite boys club whose sole members are Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync and Eminem -- and their feats occurred at the peak of the record industry 10 years ago (1999-2002).
Like Adele, T-Swizzle is a force to be reckoned with and proof that when the product is good, people will buy it. Unlike Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' which sold a massive amount of digital units during an Amazon.com $0.99 sale, fans are having no problem paying full retail for 'Red.' On Monday, Target sold 160,000 units of their exclusive deluxe edition that features three bonus songs plus some fresh remixes. Not to be outdone, iTunes is selling a record number of digital units.
Full sales figures will be announced next week. With 'Red' soaring into the black, T-Painless will have her new Hyannis Port mansion (a stone's throw from current boyfriend Conor Kennedy) paid off in no time flat!

There are two main kinds of computer monitors: Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitors. CRT monitors use hundreds of small electron guns to shoot electrons at a fluorescent screen, which emits light and creates images. LCD screens use properties of liquid crystals to modulate light and create images. In either case, taking apart the monitors is a relatively straightforward task that requires few tools and time. It's very important, however, that you take care to diffuse to ground the power stored in the capacitors, which can store thousands of volts of electricity even after the monitor has been turned off for days.
- Skill level:
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Plastic-handle pliers
- Phillips head and flathead screwdrivers
- Lamp chord
Take the monitor outdoors and place it on the ground, perhaps near some grass. Lay your lamp chord out so that the exposed leads go to the grass, which is where the charge from the capacitor is going to be discharged.
Take the back of the computer monitor from the front screen. Find any Phillips head screws holding the back to the front and unscrew these. There are usually a couple on the sides of the monitor and the front, but every model is different. Pry the back of the monitor off the front using the flat end of a flathead screwdriver.
Place the plug end of the lamp cord on the metal rods sticking out from the large suction cup, which is the capacitor, attached to the back of the display. Hold the plug against the metal rods for a moment. This action should discharge the stored voltage to ground.
Take apart any other parts you wish to, such as heat sink or CRT neck board by continuing to remove screws from each component or pulling off connecting plugs with your pliers. For example, pull off the four connecting plugs from the CRT neck board shield using the pliers and then unscrew the shield from the neck board and pull it off the unit.
Take Apart a CRT Monitor
Place your LCD monitor display side down. Remove any screws you see on the back of the monitor and near the monitor's stand.
Insert the head of a flat head screw driver between the two halves of the monitor, the front and back. Carefully slide the head through the gap, feeling for any plastic clips holding the two halves together. Depress these clips when you reach one. Do this until all the clips have been disengaged and the back of the monitor comes away from the front.
Unplug the cables from the sockets on the circuit boards and inner back panel revealed when you took off the back of the monitor. Remove anymore screws you see on the side of the inner back panel and pull it off of the front display screen.
Take apart an LCD monitor
Tips and warnings
- Always ground your metal equipment to remove any static electricity if you wish to use your monitors again after you've dismantled them. Remove static electricity simply by pressing the tip of the tool, such as a screwdriver, to another metal object nearby.

Wednesday, October 16, 2013
SAN DIEGO Christy McAloney’s sophomore geometry students at Monte Vista High School were sitting at small groups of desks, turned in to face each other one recent Thursday morning. They won’t be listening to a lecture today.
Major changes are coming to classrooms across San Diego County and California this year. Schools are switching to new math and English standards that promise to improve students’ critical thinking and to better prepare them for college and career.
Special Feature What Is Common Core?
Nancy Rojas, is a 3rd grade teacher in the Chula Vista Elementary School District. She's taking a break from the classroom to train other teachers to use the Common Core curriculum
“We talked about linear pairs, we talked about complementary and we talked about supplementary," McAloney said, reminding them about the previous day's lesson. "So your job in your team right now is to have a discussion.”
Discussing what they’re learning with classmates is one thing students in the Grossmont Union High School District and across California will be doing a lot more. Explaining conclusions and reasoning their way to answers are just a couple of skills at the heart of new state math and English standards called the Common Core. California is one of 45 states and Washington, D.C., that have adopted the voluntary, national standards. While California has been gearing up for the standards change since 2010, this is the first year those changes are hitting most of the state's classrooms.
From now on, it won’t be enough to memorize and repeat facts.
“You do not only have content standards, you also have mathematical practices," Mc Aloney said. "So you have to teach students how to reason, to critique the thinking of others. They have to problem solve and persevere through difficult tasks they aren’t used to doing.”
McAloney is part of the district’s team of teachers designing new lessons that meet the Common Core’s requirements. But she and Monte Vista High School Principal Randy Montesanto agree the switch is going to be a challenge for students and teachers.
“They’ve got to do the work to figure it out to a certain extent and teachers want to give kids the answers when they struggle because they want to have the kids learn," Montesanto said. "Well, if the kid’s struggling and it’s taking him awhile to get to the answer, that’s where that collaboration comes in with the kids having those valuable conversations.”
Back in McAloney’s classroom the conversations were about different kinds of angles. She wasn’t telling students which questions they had answered correctly or incorrectly, but she was redirecting conversations.
For 15 year old Angel Maurin, talking problems over with his classmates is an improvement over his previous attempt at geometry.
“It was more independent. This is a little better, honestly," he said. "It just helps you understand, like knowing, like seeing everything from other peoples’ point of view. I just think it helps really.”
Talking with classmates leads right into another big focus of the new standards: writing.
On McAloney's students' worksheets the last question is a writing prompt. They have to write out everything they know about a set of angles.
Under the guidelines set by the Common Core, students will have to write not only in English courses, but in math, science and other classes. They'll be asked to explain what they understand and how they arrived at their answers.
“It’s something I haven’t had to do before," said Jeahna Kertzman, who is also 15. She said math has never been her favorite subject, but she doesn't mind the added writing this year. "It’s cool, I like it because it helps me understand it.”
Kertzman and her classmates weren’t immediately enthusiastic about giving up the old approach of listening to lectures and completing worksheets silently, on their own.
“In the beginning they were very reluctant, they would just sit there and say ‘I can’t do this,’" McAloney said. "And now, when I give them a task they start on it and they try and they have discussions and they work together. And they know I’m not going to give them the answers, so they have to talk to each other.”
Being comfortable with tackling problems they don’t totally understand at first glace will translate into more real-world preparedness if the Common Core lives up to its promises, according to Principal Randy Montesanto.
“We need to get our kids to a point that when they’re leaving high school, going into college, they're ready to create new, innovative programs, ideas, thoughts, whatever it might be," he said. "And I think to keep our country competitive from a global perspective, we need to be the innovative country. Well, it’s tough to do that when your kids aren’t thinking creatively.”
But Montesanto thinks it would be overly optimistic to expect high school grads to have radically different skills three or four years from now. He expects to see more of a difference in students who are just starting school now – because the only kind of education they’ll know will focus on thinking creatively, making predictions based on evidence and collaborating with their classmates.
Students are just getting their first taste of Common Core in the classroom. They can count on more changes to come.

Yesterday, the 2011 edition of Vinexpo opened in Bordeaux and Burgundy was the guest of honor of the ESC Dijon Institute of Wine Management conference. Three keynote speakers presented the success stories of their business or organization : Florence Ragonneau of the Bureau of Burgundy wines (BIVB), François Desperriers, founder with Aurélien Ibanez of BourgogneLive.com blog and Jean-David Camus, who manages the Albert Bichot Hospices de Beaune sale every year.
The BIVB is the “official” voice of Burgundy wines on all markets. Florence Ragonneau’s mission was to carry the image of Burgundy wines on the Net and all social media. First of all, she launched a web site in 8 languages to reach the most important international markets. The site provides information targeted to professionals, journalists and bloggers, influencers and consumers as well as e-learning facilities. Then she took the BIVB on Facebook and created a strong community of about 2,500 “friends” around the Burgundy wines.
Jean-David Camus is a young entrepreneur who saw the strong possibilities of taking in the 21st century a 200-year old brand, Albert Bichot. For various historical reasons, Bichot is one of the biggest buyers of wines of the Hospices de Beaune during the famous November auction sale. Camus gave the opportunity to consumers to get together to buy a barrel of the Hospices de Beaune wines: a barrel allows 48 people to buy each a 6-bottle case for a price between 30 to 70 euros a bottle. It puts the buy at a reasonable financial level for lovers of great Burgundy wines. What is new is that the auction and the buy take place on the Internet: the prospective buyer registers on the dedicated site and agrees on a price (usually around 4,000 to 6,000 euros a barrel): if the barrel costs less during the auction, the buyer pays less. If the auction takes the price of the barrel over the agreed maximum, the sale does not take place. It is a wine-win deal for the Hospices and the consumer. To promote his action, Camus resorts to all available media: Twitter, Facebook, web site, links to blogs. The results are convincing: he brought over 1,500 new customers to Albert Bichot and sold several barrels of wines.
last but not least, François Desperriers told the amazing success story of Bourgogne-Live.com. Launched in January 2010 by a few “tweets” on Burgundy wines, Desperriers saw his audience grow because of the consumers’ interest in Burgundy wines. In March desperriers and Ibanze launched their blog, Bourgogne-Live.com. They were rapidly frustated by the lack of comments and of conversation. They then created a Facebook page where conversations regularly engaged on their blogs’ articles and videos. Meanwhile they also carried out links to news and other blogs they thought of interest to their community.
Those success stories put Burgundy wines on the digital map. Burgundy producers also got involved, helping to spread the word about their wines. By now, consumers would have to be very distracted to miss Burgundy on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and any other media. Enjoy!

In the 1970s, broadcast television, cable, and even satellite transmissions were considered viable outlets for visual artists to experiment, tamper, and often times, spectacularly fail with, all the while engaging in a generative model of art production. This talk focuses on the institutionalization of media art with a particular emphasis on the Long Beach Museum of Art’s prescient move to set up a media art center and commission artists to create a broadcast channel to distribute their works in the early 1970s. The museum was one of the first to consider video as a collecting category, managed a thriving residency program, operated a public editing facility, and launched the “museum channel.” Gloria Sutton is a contemporary art historian and a curator. She received the Emily Hall Tremaine Award as a co-curator of How Many Billboards in 2008.
Speaker: Gloria Sutton, Assistant Professor, Northeastern University, Boston.

The growing acceptance and implementation of inbound marketing represents a definitive shift in the way businesses are approaching sales and advertising. Instead of running after customers and looking for ways to make them open their wallets, smaller companies in particular have recognized the value of creating and sharing valuable content in order to encourage potential leads and to make current customers come back for more.
In other words, it’s a way of doing business that is based on “giving,” something that very much flies in the face of the traditional business model. For this reason, smaller companies are coming out ahead and leveraging content creation channels, such as blogging, videos, imagery, and even audio along side social media, to level the playing field against their bigger competitors.
If you are new to the ideas behind inbound marketing for your own business, then here is a rundown of the major themes:
Focus on Content Creation and Promotion. You create targeted content that answers your customer’s most pressing questions and needs, and you make a concerted effort to share that content in ways that will get it noticed by your target audience.
Marketing as an Organic Process. Your customers will go through stages as they interact with your company, and at each stage you need different marketing actions and approaches. It’s as if you want your marketing efforts to “grow” and mature with your customers.
The Power of Personalization. Without realizing it, many of your customers are already be getting bombarded with personalized content and promotional offers every time they go online. This trend cannot be ignored. As you learn more about your customers over time, you can better personalize your messages to fit their specific needs.
Multi-channel Efforts. Inbound marketing is inherently multi-channeled because it is based on reaching people where they already are, in the channel where they will most want to interact with you.
Big Integration. The platforms that support your content creation, promotion, calls-to-action, and customer support as well as the analytics tools you have in place to keep tabs on it all, must work together like a well-oiled machine. This allows you to focus on publishing the right content in the right place at the right time.
In short, inbound marketing is definitely a new way of doing business. But, it presents a great deal of opportunity to smaller companies that understand that in order to encourage the interest and investment of their customers, they need to give in order to receive.

Stands for "Exchangeable Image File Format." EXIF is a standard means of tagging image files with metadata, or additional information about the image. It is supported by both the TIFF and JPEG formats, but is most commonly seen in JPEG images captured with digital cameras.
When you take a picture with a digital camera, it automatically saves EXIF data with the photo. This typically includes the exposure time (shutter speed), f-number (aperture), ISO setting, flash (on/off), and the date and time. Some cameras may save additional EXIF data, such as the brightness value, white balance setting, metering mode, and sensing method. Many smartphones and some newer digital cameras also include GPS information, which is used for "geotagging" photos.
When you view a digital photo on your computer, the EXIF data is typically hidden by default. Therefore, you may need to select an option such as "Get Info," "View Properties," or "Show Inspector" from within your photo viewing application in order to view the EXIF data. In Photoshop, for example, you can select , then click the "Advanced" tab to view the EXIF properties.

Latest Prevention & Wellness News
TUESDAY, Aug. 6, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose, but far too little of the lifesaving drug is used where it is needed the most, a new U.S. government report shows.
"Too many people in our country and in our communities are still dying from opioid-related overdoses," said Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "We must and can do a better job of getting naloxone in the hands of people who really need it, and those likely to be nearby when an overdose occurs."
The new CDC report finds that too few doctors are prescribing naloxone as recommended to patients taking high-dose opioids or opioids plus benzodiazepines (such as Valium and Xanax), or to those with a substance use disorder.
If every patient with a high-dose opioid prescription were offered naloxone (brand names Evzio and Narcan), nearly 9 million more naloxone prescriptions would have been dispensed in 2018, according to the CDC's Aug. 6 Vital Signs report.
"Our report has good news and bad news related to both opioid prescribing and co-prescribing of naloxone," Schuchat said during a Tuesday media briefing on the findings.
"We are making progress in reducing high-dose opioid prescribing, but there is still too much and we are seeing significant increases in pharmacy prescriptions for naloxone, but there is much room for improvement, missed opportunities remain," she noted.
While there was an overall increase in naloxone dispensing from 2012 to 2018, there were wide variations in naloxone dispensing in pharmacies, despite similarities in state laws.
More needs to be done to increase naloxone access at the local level, according to the report.
The investigators found that rural counties had the lowest dispensing rates in 2018; primary care providers wrote only 1.5 naloxone prescriptions per 100 high-dose opioid prescriptions (an opioid overdose risk factor); and more than half of naloxone prescriptions required a co-pay. Co-pays can keep some patients from accessing the meds.
The report said that the number of naloxone prescriptions dispensed doubled from 2017 to 2018; only one naloxone prescription is dispensed for every 70 high-dose opioid prescriptions; and 71% of Medicare prescriptions for naloxone required a co-pay, compared to 42% for commercial insurance.
In addition, rural counties were nearly three times more likely to have low rates of naloxone-dispensing than metropolitan counties, and naloxone dispensing is 25 times greater in the highest-dispensing counties than the lowest-dispensing counties.
In 2017, over 47,000 Americans died of opioid overdoses. For years, naloxone has been used by emergency medical services, first responders and community-based overdose prevention programs. Meanwhile, efforts are being made to boost access to naloxone through prescribing and pharmacy-based distribution.
CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield said in an agency news release: "It is clear from the data that there is still much needed education around the important role naloxone plays in reducing overdose deaths. The time is now to ensure all individuals who are prescribed high-dose opioids also receive naloxone as a potential lifesaving intervention."
In addition, Redfield said, "As we aggressively confront what is the public health crisis of our time, CDC will continue to stress with health care providers the benefit of making this overdose-reversing medicine available to patients."

Thread: RearView Mirror Upgrade....
08-12-2010, 07:48 PM #1
RearView Mirror Upgrade....
So I had considered changing out my rearview mirror for one with the temp and compass....I know some people have that info in their DIC....I do not so I am guessing I do not have the sensor for the temp etc...
The dealer tells me that I need a module that is part of my ECM in order to get the the temp and compass and its a $400 part...plus the cost of a mirror....
can anyone verify this or can I simply get a mirror and add the temp sensor?
08-12-2010, 08:24 PM #2
I THINK Murth makes a mirror with the temp and compass. I know they make some GM original mirror parts.

Based on the fact that you were looking into upgrading your gauge cluster because you only had the 4 gauge one, I will assume here that you don't have the driver information center with the buttons to the left of your gauges. If not, the way to get comp and temp may just be to upgrade to the DIC. If you got the info about the module from the mirror from the same dealer that said you would need extra sensors to upgrade your gauges, they are probably not very reliable. If you don't have the DIC buttons, I believe it only costs about $75 to $80 for the buttons with the new trim piece, takes 5 mins to install, and your truck is pre-wired for it. Here is a thread about installing the DIC buttons.
If you have already upgraded, then I find it strange that the provisions would be there for all the other features, but not compass and temperature. I can't offer a lot of advise about adding a temp./compass mirror though, since my mirror upgrade was a totally different situation and different mirror. (non-electric mirror to Homelink auto-dim mirror)

I did install the DIC buttons about a month ago - that was well worth the money! I may try and see if I can get one out of a wrecked truck and see what works and what doesnt.
I just ordered 8000K HID lights for the fogs and low beams so my "extra" money for toys needs a boost this next payday.....it will give me time to hunt for a mirror!
08-14-2010, 03:13 PM #5
Now that I pay enough attention, I realize that the compass and temperature was in the mirror from the factory on the new trucks, where I thought it was in the DIC like most newer GM vehicles.
I did just find a thread about this on a different website. Hope this helps. Good luck, and post up some pictures when it is done.

Contrast for Viola pair
By Nadia Carminati
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Dino Zoff and Giampaolo Pazzini were at odds over Fiorentina's draw with Juventus.Dino Zoff and Giampaolo Pazzini were at odds over the merits of Fiorentina's 3-3 draw with Juventus.
The Viola led the title chasers on three separate occasions in Serie A on Saturday only to be pegged back for a point.
The result leaves Fiorentina just above the relegation zone and coach Zoff lamented the failure to capitalise on their moments in the ascendancy.
"It's a hard thing to accept," said Zoff. "Three times in the lead and three times we suffered from Juve's recovery.
"It will change. Unfortunately we have had the merit to obtain the lead but then we made a few mistakes, although in certain cases Juve did good things.
"I'm absolutely disappointed because scoring three goals against Juve and drawing isn't a good thing."
But striker Pazzini, who scored the opening goal at Artemio Franchi, insists there are positives to be drawn from the stalemate.
Pazzini commented: "I think we have played a really big match and performance. Certainly this has been the best Fiorentina of the season.
"Unfortunately we haven't been able to take advantage of the chances we had.
"But certainly this result gives us faith and I'm optimistic about our future."

I haven't posted much on this blog in a while and that's mostly because I've been too busy. A couple of months ago I was working very hard in the office, the spending a lot of evenings out having beers with graduating students (something I do more for their sake and the sake of the future of the field than my own sake), and generally not having much rest. This is how I like things, I love to be active and I hate being bored. It was around this time that I caught a virus while I had to go to CERN to present a talk. Without time to rest and recover I found myself on the plane unable to use my hands as they cramped up and went very cold. I was taken from the plane in an ambulance, and around an hour later I was able to get myself to CERN and spent most of the trip sleeping 16 hours a day (while having more work piled on me). I took most of the next week off and rather than sit at home for a week I invited my mum to visit Belgium. Since then I've been playing catch-up, and it's only now that I find myself in a state where most things are finished and I can look to the next tasks.
This isn't particular to physics and I'm quite sure I'd have faced similar problems in any job I chose. I'm not very happy with how the aftermath was handled though. My boss acted as though excessive work had caused me to catch a virus, rather than this being bad luck. (I hadn't been this ill in about twenty years.) On top of this I was given some additional work which I simply didn't have time for, while at the same time was being told that the most important work wasn't urgent. Time and again my boss has told me not work so much on the ntuple maker that I developed, until I tell her that every other part of my work depends upon it and that it greatly speeds up the rest of my work. She seems to have a very poor understanding of what my work entails or what I need to complete the tasks which is incredibly frustrating at times. At the time the ntuple maker had five different releases for five different releases of the central software CMSSW. Each release corresponded to a different aspect of my other work, so maintaining the code was essential to everything else.
These problems are made even worse by some serious gaps in the technical support. I've had roughly five tasks running in parallel that all require my time, CPU time, and disk space. While I've got plenty of CPU time at my disposal there isn't enough disk space to perform more than about two tasks at once. As a result if I work on one of my tasks I have to delete the files for another one to make space, perform my work, then regenerate or copy the files over for the first task again. All this eats into my time and ultimately makes me significantly less productive. There are some perverse design choices made by the local IT support, for example not making /tmp space available, or giving us access to large amounts of disk space without being able to use it interactively. Rather, I need to copy the files locally and work with them there, so I spend hours waiting for files to be transferred.
All of this seems to come from an attitude that I shouldn't try working too hard, and that I shouldn't try to be excellent at my job, and I find that not only frustrating, but it makes it feel like I'm wasting my time here. I moved my entire life to Brussels for this job and I want to make it worth the sacrifices. Instead I find myself confronted with arbitrary limitations on what I can achieve technically, and being told to not work on the very things that make me more productive and efficient. Even when I have to take time off and play catch up the resources that I need are not available to me. With the right resources I could be at least twice as productive, and in fact one of the most frustrating aspects is that once I'd finished working my way through the backlog the actual physics just took a matter of hours to get some very interesting and useful results. This is work that my boss had been telling me to abandon, despite getting interesting results within a few hours. If I'd had an extra terabyte of disk space two months ago I'd have had those results two months ago. It's simply a waste of time working in these kinds of conditions, and if things don't improve I might just invest in my own hard drives to store the files I need.

CHICAGO — The Illinois Stock Car Hall of Fame held its sixth annual reception and banquet in the Rockford area on Saturday, April 8.
A reception was held in the afternoon at Wayne Lensing’s Historic Auto Attractions museum in Roscoe with the induction banquet held later in the evening at the Hoffman House Restaurant in Rockford with more than 250 people in attendance.
Seven new inductees were honored. Among the new half of fame members were drivers Bill Lutz, Tony Izzo, Dave Weltmeyer and Dick Taylor, along with promoter John McKarns, race official Jack Heiman and car builder/mechanic Seth Piper.
Racing around Kentucky and southern Indiana, Lutz, a native of Kentucky, began making trips to Chicago area speedways, where he posted victories at such tracks as Soldier Field and O’Hare Stadium. Lutz was a two-time late model champion at O’Hare (1959 and 1964), also winning the track’s annual O’Hare American 500 twice during his career. He was the Chicago City Series Champion in 1958, which pitted drivers from O’Hare, Solider Field and Blue Island’s Raceway Park against each other in a special three-race series.
Lutz, who passed away in 2010, competed in USAC and NASCAR competition. He raced on the Daytona Beach, Fla. road and beach course in February of 1957. Driving his Petty Enterprises 1957 Oldsmobile No. 43, a teammate to NASCAR champion Lee Petty, Lutz started 27th in the field and came home in sixth place.
Izzo began his racing career around 1964, competing in the sportsman stock car division at Chicagoland’s Santa Fe Speedway. He moved up into the late model ranks soon after and before his career was over, Izzo captured a total of nine late model titles at the popular clay oval. He won Santa Fe’s National Clay Track Championship 200 lapper three times. He was the late model titlist at the Kankakee Fairgrounds Speedway in 1972, introducing a rapid-running, short wheelbase, Camaro to the local dirt track stock car wars.
Showing paved track racers the short way around, Izzo was the winner of the annual Tony Bettenhausen Memorial 100 at Illiana Motor Speedway in Schererville, Ind., in 1978. After his racing career was over, he promoted tracks at both Kankakee and LaSalle and supported the racing efforts of his two sons, Tony Jr. and Joey.
Weltmeyer has the distinction of being among three drivers that have won late model track championships at Raceway Park, Illiana and the Grundy County Speedway in Morris, Ill. Following his dad Norm’s racing footsteps, Weltmeyer began racing in six-cylinder competition at Raceway Park before his 16th birthday. He would win three late model crowns at Raceway Park, taking honors in 1979, 1980 and again in 1983. He grabbed the late model season crown at the Grundy fairgrounds oval in 1982 and 1986.
Illiana was the scene of his first late model feature win in 1977 with Weltmeyer garnering the late model title at the half-mile paved oval in 2003. Trying his luck in both USAC and ARCA competition over the years, Weltmeyer developed into an ARCA “short track ace” during the latter part of his career, winning a total of 13 ARCA main events. Weltmeyer enjoyed seven straight seasons with at least one ARCA win. Closing out his racing days, Weltmeyer has helped his son, D.J., with his racing career.
Taylor started his stock car racing career in 1967 at the age of 21. He competed in street stock and sportsman divisions before advancing into late models in 1972. During a 46-year racing career, Taylor won over 200 feature races and 15 track championships. In the 1970s, Taylor was one of a few Illinois drivers to race and win with a Chrysler Kit Car, which was powered a 440 cubic inch engine.
Some of Taylor’s biggest victories include winning the 1981 Illinois State Championship race at Peoria, the Coca Cola 100 at the Macon oval, UMP Summer Nationals victories at both the Macon and Godfrey speedways, the Herald Review 100 at Macon in 1987 and a victory in USAC competition at the Springfield Mile in 1987. For many years, Taylor’s winning No. 24 was sponsored by the Springfield Cardinals minor league baseball team. With his racing career coming to an end, Taylor has mentored his sons, Matt and Guy, in the racing game.
McKarns, pure and simple, was a race fan. Having a love and passion for the sport of auto racing, McKarns enjoyed numerous successes in the various avenues of motorsports that he ventured down, including heading and developing the ARTGO Challenge Series late model stock car tour. Growing up on a farm in Ohio, McKarns saw his first stock car race with his dad and brother in 1952. He became an avid fan and soon began reporting on the racing events for a local newspaper.
Going to Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., McKarns got his first glimpse of Chicago area stock car racing at tracks like Solider Field, Raceway Park, O’Hare Stadium, Santa Fe Speedway and Waukegan Speedway. He applied for jobs at both O’Hare and Waukegan and was hired by Waukegan management as the track’s new assistant pit steward. He became the speedway’s “PR” man and announcer and, later, had these same jobs at the new Grundy County Speedway. McKarns’ whole life would change when he met Chicago area businessman Art Frigo in 1975.
Front running stock car racer Bob Roper worked for Frigo and Frigo expressed an interest of promoting a special late model stock car event in the Chicago area. The special event was the Wayne Carter Classic at Grundy in September of 1975 with the race being the start of ARTGO Racing, which McKarns, who passed away in 2010, would later own and nurture through 1997.
Heiman was the official starter for many years at the Rockford Speedway, flagging numerous events at the quarter-mile paved oval, including the inaugural National Short Track Championships in 1966, which was won by Dick Trickle. Heiman racing career began in California, where he became a crewman on Rodger Ward’s USAC stock car team. It was during this time that Heiman taught himself the art of sign painting and race car lettering with Heiman lettering numerous national and local race cars.

- Justices hearing the case were angry on Tuesday over the refusal of lawyers of John Mahama to file witness statements
- Mahama was expected to file the statements on January 20, but, did not
- He has therefore been ordered to do that by the close of Wednesday, January 27
Trending topics on the go: How we write news at YEN.com.gh
The seven-member panel hearing the ongoing 2020 election petition on Tuesday, January 26, 2021, took on John Mahama’s lawyers for not filing witness statements as ordered.
Mahama was to file witness statements and other relevant materials at the Supreme Court registry on Thursday, January 21, 2021.
The former president beseeched the Court on the day he was expected to file his witness statements to stay proceedings until the apex Court review its decision, denying him the opportunity to ask the EC his 12 questions.

The justices of the Court were, however, angry with the conduct of the lawyers of Mahama, warning that he cannot “pick and choose” which process he can file and cannot.
“Why are you refusing to obey the orders of the court meanwhile you want us to hear your applications,” one of the justices queried.
Mahama filed a petition before the apex court to challenge the outcome of the presidential race.
Akufo-Addo defeated Mahama in the election to secure another four-year term; collecting 51.302% of the votes cast against the latter’s 47.359%.
The votes difference between the two candidates stood at 517, 231, representing a four percentage point, one of the highest since 1996.
He wants a rerun of the election between him and Akufo-Addo, stating that there was no winner contrary to the outcome declared by the Electoral Commission.
President Akufo-Addo rejected Mahama’s assertion that the presidential race should have gone to a runoff. Over 13 million Ghanaians voted in the Monday, December 7, 2021, election that saw him secure a second mandate.

New 5 gallon tank question
Hi guys! Yesterday I got a new 5 gallon tank! I'm current doing a fishless cycle now with using the pure ammonia and the "Add and wait" method. Now I got a question. I was planning on planning to put in my betta Miyavi in there once the 5 has finish cycling. When will be a good time to add live plants? I have live plants( 2 Java ferns) in the 2 gallon right now and I was thinking to transport those to the 5 gallon in a few days. Will that be a good idea or just wait? I'm going to add new live plants Saturday to the 5 like some Java moss. I hope this fishless cycle will turn out successful. The tank was a kit and it's a hex.
BTW the new tank came with the Marineland biowheel filter. I never experience it before so I Was just curious. How would I supose to take out the carbon?
pretty sure plants can go in whenever you want.
**I freely admit that most of the information I share I have learned from other people on this forum and am simply repeating. I thank you for sharing your knowledge and ask that if I say anything incorrect someone will kindly correct me**
Ya plants can go in now if you want. Plants help reduce ammonia since they use it as nutrients so they're really beneficial the more the merrier basically. I have the filter you mentioned on a 10 gal and the current is pretty strong especially for a beta. I would recommend baffling it somehow to recuse the current. I also don't understand your question about the carbon. Do you want to remove the filter?
Actually I wanted to remove the carbon. ><
If it is the tank I'm thinking about, the carbon should be in a little packet in the filter. It will be blue and kinda fuzzy on one side and black on the other. Just remove that piece and you will remove the filer. However, you will also remove the mechanical filtration. I would recommend getting an aquarium sponge and sticking it in place of the carbon packet. It will remove particles in the same manner.
There's a aquarium sponge in it right now. :) Thanks guys!

The Seattle Underground is a tourist attraction in Seattle, Washington that resulted from city planning after the destruction of a large number of downtown buildings during the Great Seattle Fire in the late 19th century. If you’d visited Seattle before 1889, the buildings and shops were constructed at a lower level. This created problems for residents and businesses, since areas of the business section in town would and did flood.
After the fire, creative city planners decided to arrest these problems by raising the level of most of the buildings. Some buildings that had survived the fire still had lower entrances, which meant walking down, or up a few flights of stairs to get where you needed to go. Ultimately, buildings were remodeled to give street access.
Unfortunately, the Seattle Underground became the site of unsavory activities. Illegal liquor establishments during Prohibition flourished in the Seattle Underground. In fact most people avoided the Seattle Underground due to fear of crimes and of catching potentially contagious illnesses. Most of the old basements from surviving buildings were condemned, yet interest in them flourished in the 1960s.
Much of the Seattle Underground is decidedly unsafe, but parts of it, located under Pioneer Square have been restored and made safe for tours. This restoration has been influenced greatly by Seattle resident Bill Speidel, who decided to begin offering tours to the less dangerous parts of the Seattle Underground in 1965. Due to the old architecture, and the history associated with the Seattle Underground, these tours have become increasingly popular.
You can tour the Seattle Underground with Bill Speidel’s company, and you may be surprised by some of the things available to do there. For instance, some couples have gotten married in the Seattle Underground. The tour covers about three blocks underneath the city, but much of it is on uneven ground, and the weather can be chilly. Speidel’s group recommends bringing a warm jacket and good walking shoes for the trip.
You can even dine at the Seattle Underground Café, certainly a place with lots of moody lighting. One of the surprise aspects of the tour is a number of portraits by mostly local artists of Seattle’s past residents of note. There are also several places to stop and note artifacts of Seattle’s past. On a tour you’ll get plenty of information about early Seattle, and the seamy side of the Underground during its condemned years. You do need to book a tour of the Seattle Underground in advance — Speidel’s company recommends booking the tour at least two weeks ahead of your planned visit.

Guarani are an indigenous people that live across Argentina, Bolivia and southwestern Brazil. When Europeans first arrived in South America in 1500 the Guarani numbered around 400,000. At that time, they were living in small communities and grew manioc, maize, wild game, and honey.
Cue a few hundred years and their leaders are being murdered by ranchers in a land dispute that should have ended in 1993.
NGO Survival International has evidence Guarani-tribe leaders are being murdered by gunmen hired by ranchers eager to quash a land dispute in the rancher’s favour. Ranchers use Guarani land to grow sugar cane, soya and cattle. Profits are huge and ranchers are actively protected by local police and politicians, leaving the Guarani at their mercy.
Guarani leaders are singled out, attacked and killed by ranchers’ gunmen as a result of their campaign for their ancestral land to be mapped out and returned to them. Many leaders have received death threats. According to Brazil’s constitution, all the tribe’s land should have been returned to them by 1993.
Forced to live in overcrowded reserves and roadside camps while ranchers earn huge profits on their land, the Guarani suffer alarming rates of malnutrition, suicide and violence. A recent wave of eviction orders threatens to further worsen their horrific plight.
Despite many promises, successive governments have failed to resolve Brazil’s worst humanitarian crisis.
Survival International is asking anyone interested in protecting the rights of indigenous people to write to the Brazilian government and force them to sort the issue out in the Guarani’s favour.
I am deeply concerned successive governments have failed to map out the lands of the Guarani tribe of Mato Grosso do Sul.
Without their ancestral land, the Guarani cannot survive. Their leaders are being killed one by one, their children are dying of malnutrition and they suffer one of the highest suicide rates in the world. The worldwide community is sickened by your failure to protect your people.
Please uphold the constitution and demarcate the Guarani’s lands immediately, before more lives are lost.
Across Brazil’s 10 biggest cities there were 71 major protests in the 12 days before the World Cup started. In the 12 days since the opening game there have been 43.
Sao Paulo’s Folha gathered data from police, transport bodies, trade unions and social movements to collect the data, which is probably still too vague to draw anything but broad generalisations about popular protests in Brazil. One sociologist said in the report: “Brazilians really like football.”
Folha reckons underlying motives for the protests are changing, too. Before the World Cup started protests were being held in support of pay-rises and improved work conditions. Trade unions knew that heightened pressure would be thrown onto the government to act in the unions’ favour quickly, as the government wouldn’t want tourists witnessing protests in the street.
At least for the teachers here in Belo Horizonte, it didn’t work. A 15 per cent pay-rise (after three years of 6-8 per cent inflation had seen their real wages eroded) was rejected, and the teachers went back to work days before the World Cup started.
Now the protests are more generally Anti-World Cup.
One of the problems with protests this year is that last year’s Confederation’s Cup protesters saw how their anti-corruption, pro-Brazil protests were “hijacked” by organised, extreme-right elements that wanted Dilma out and their people in.
Consequently a lot of citizens don’t want to protest for fear they’ll be portrayed as extreme-right antagonists. Such is the problem with popular protest; with so many problems in Brazil, it’s hard to be clear about what you’re protesting about.
Although the advertising machine around Neymar works hard to make him appear a pretty nice guy, here’s six reasons why the footballer – rightly or wrongly – represents everything wrong with Brazil’s wealthy, corrupt elite and the crushing inequality these powerful figures create.
Brazilian politicians are famously corrupt. One politician was elected to Brazil’s Congress while under investigation for murder after having an adversary killed with a chain saw. Another is wanted by Interpol after being found guilty of diverting more than $10 million from a public road project to offshore bank accounts. I can’t find the source but I read recently that 60 per cent of Brazilian politicians are currently under police investigation.
2) He’s rich: Neymar was making 1.5 million reais a year at just 16 years old. He makes 9 million euros a year now playing for Barcelona.
And in the world of business the 15 Richest Families In Brazil are worth an estimated $122 billion — or about 5% of the country’s total GDP. Out of 65 Brazilian billionaires listed by FORBES in its World’s Billionaires list, 25 are blood relatives.
3) He’ll sell himself to the highest bidder: Neymar has sponsorship deals with Castrol, Red Bull, Volkswagen and Panasonic and an 11 year boot deal with Nike worth at least $1 million per year. There’s nothing wrong with footballers making hay while the sun shines, though.
Brazilian politicians see nothing wrong using the same “sponsorship” tactics, however. Municipal and state officials are close to the mega-corporations that run Brazil’s construction, beverage, transport, energy and food industries. The cost of building Brasilia’s World Cup stadium nearly tripled to $900m in public funds, for example, largely due to allegedly fraudulent billing.
4) He’s light-skinned: Neymar’s dying his hair blonde might seem insignificant, but it takes on huge cultural significance in a country that has a legacy of slavery and inequality. It’s known as “Branqueamento”, (“Whitening”) and can lead to a prosperous shift from the darker-skinned underclass to the lighter-skinned Brazilian elite.
Over 70 per cent of Brazilian politicians are light-skinned.
There’s nothing against a football player wanting to play for one of the biggest teams in the world, and those teams are in Europe. But it is a familiar desire amongst the wealthy Brazilian elite to leave the country (they have the power to change, rather than rob from) and in which they have made their fortune to hide their money in Cayman Islands bank accounts or spend it on handbags, iPhones and suits in New York and Europe.
6) He’s not afraid of backing out on a promise: Neymar promised his youth club Santos he wouldn’t leave them until after the 2014 World Cup. Santos consequently doubled his wages to raise him to European footballer salary levels.
As a result, FIFA stands to profit 15 billions reais from the 2014 Brazil World Cup.
FIFA told Brazil it would only allow the country to host the World Cup if it made the football organisation exempt from imported goods taxes (IPI), the contribution to Social Security Financing (Cofins) on imported goods and services, and the Contribution to the Programs for Social Integration and Heritage Formation of the Public Servant ( PIS-Pasep) on imports.
If nothing else, Brazilians should be angry that FIFA is paying no tax for the sales it makes on its merchandise. It’s giving nothing back to the country financially. It’s also using an army of unpaid volunteers to make sure the World Cup goes well. Protests against the government are already shutting down entire highways in Belo Horizonte – it will be interesting to see how many protests flare up in the next few weeks.
Brazilian politician Kátia Abreu leads agricultural lobbying in loosening controls on Amazon deforestation. She wants to make Brazil a powerhouse in the exportation of soy products, a plan which will require deforestation to take place, unless it can be carefully controlled in areas like Minas Gerais’ Triângulo Mineiro.
“Running for president is not a plan – it is fate. Criticism from radical environmentalists is the best form of endorsement. It gives me satisfaction. It shows I am on the right track and playing the right role.”
“We have all the essential elements: abundant water, advanced technology and plenty of land for production. Based on this, we can become number one without cutting down trees.”
She alleges environmentalists, indigenous groups and landless peasants are working for foreign interests.“I don’t have concrete proof of this but I get a very strong impression that this is the case.”
“Forty years ago, the average Brazilian spent 50% of his or her income on food. Now the proportion is about 18%.”
“For many years, environmentalism reached an extreme pitch and we in the agribusiness sector were treated like criminals. Now, our agribusiness sector can influence the choice of kings and queens in Brazil. In the past, we only exercised economic influence. Now we also have political power.”
Most chillingly, Abreu said:
“We cannot rest on our laurels. There are many things holding back progress – the environmental issue, the Indian issue and more. But even with these problems we keep producing high levels of productivity. Imagine how high it might be without those obstacles.”
Brazil has signed the Marco Civil da Internet, hailed as the first ever “Internet Constitution“, or “Internet Civil Rights” bill. It’s been designed to create a “free, creative and secure” web, and includes a lot of fair use policies and protections for the average user.
Marco Civil grants stronger powers to the Brazilian government to remove content with judicial decree, which seems pretty troubling ahead of predicted protests during the 2014 World Cup. Especially as previous protests in Brazil were co-ordinated through social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Although content can only be removed following a court order, an exception allows the immediate exclusion of “certain material” even prior to analysis by the Justice Courts (“abre uma exceção que permite a exclusão de determinados materiais antes da análise da Justiça”, Seção III, Art. 21), according to Sérgio Amadeu da Silveira, a member of Brazil’s Comitê Gestor da Internet no Brasil.
This provides a loophole for politicians, big businesses and private individuals to remove harmful content immediately, without a court order.
This could be helpful when trying to prevent protesters arrange a riot on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, or criticising brands for their support in corrupt practices.
Dilma Rousseff is the current President of Brazil. Belo Horizonte was supposed to have an improved, extended metro system by the opening of the 2014 World Cup. With 60 days to go, it does not.
Daughter of a Bulgarian entrepreneur, Rousseff was raised in an upper middle class household in Belo Horizonte.She was a socialist during her youth, although now she is more of a “pragmatic capitalist”.
Rousseff became a guerrilla fighter following the 1964 coup d’état against the military dictatorship. She was jailed between 1970 and 1972, where she was reportedly tortured.
As Minister she helped introduce “Luz para todos” (“Light for all”), an attempt to bring electricity to the poorer parts of Brazil. It was supposed to be paid for by the government but the money actually comes out of higher tariffs for customers.
She also backs the “Fome Zero” (“Zero Hunger”) campaign, and took federal tax off everyday items (meat, milk, beans, rice, flour, potatoes, tomatoes, bread, sugar, coffee powder, cooking oil, butter, bananas and apples).
Throwing the poor a bone is a politically-calculated move to get millions of votes behind you (see Lula’s Bolsa Familia or “Family Allowance”, an act handing out cash transfers to the poorest). It looks good, it’s fairly cheap, and it actually helps the poorest of society (poverty reportedly fell by 27 per cent and it directly helped 12 million families). I say “reportedly” because politicians know how to make the stats look good.
Public sector workers have been regularly striking during her term as president but she refuses to cater to their demands, insisting the private sector should be prioritised in all economic issues.

Ph.D. candidate, Department of Anthropology, Cornell University
Encountering the novels of Josť Rizal in a country seminar taught by Ben Anderson during my first year at Cornell did more than anything else to draw me into the study of the Philippines. Wry, urbane, comically realist, and scathing in their moral and political commentary, Rizal's novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo have fascinated and eluded generations of scholarly readers since their first publication in Germany in the 1890s. Since that time, they have withstood waves of adulation, vilification, and dismissal, followed by nationalist reappropriation and finally canonization, while continuing to reward new readers with pleasure and abundant interpretive possibilities. Although Rizal is more renowned for his political writings and role as a public intellectual in the first wave of Philippine nationalism in the 1870s, I found myself far more interested in the voice of Rizal the novelist. More than Rizal's explicit polemics, it was the Noli's story of an intellectual-returned to the Philippines from overseas-pushed to radicalism by the corruption of Spanish rule in the Philippines, which demonstrated Rizal's keen social intelligence and command over the intellectual currents of his time. In the Noli and Fili (as the two novels are nicknamed), Rizal overtook his teachers and superiors. Writing in Spanish, he cast off the intellectual hegemony of Spain in the Philippines with every appearance of effortlessness.
My appreciation of these novels was shaped in large part by a number of Cornell teachers, alumni, and fellow students. First and foremost, Ben Anderson drew my attention to their subversive irony, evident in how the Noli indicts the colonial state system or "frailocracy" by ridiculing the self-serving friars and posturing gobernadorcillos who held power within it. He also pointed out Rizal's subtle yet powerful idealism in using fiction to give shape to his pluralistic idea of the Philippine nation-as Ben memorably put it, to "imagine it whole." Other important insights into Rizal came from Vicente Rafael's Contracting Colonialism (a book that was based on his Cornell history thesis). According to Rafael, the Noli both depicts how the friars maintained the colonial hierarchy by withholding access to Latin and Spanish from the vast majority of Filipinos and illustrates that Filipinos nonetheless managed to produce new and destabilizing meanings from the language and religion of their colonizers. But even as I absorbed these cele-bratory interpretations of Rizal as part of my course work, quite a different note was being sounded: my fellow student Carol Hau was already pointing out that despite the levity on their surfaces, Rizal's novels are a dark, even despairing meditation on the incompatibility of Enlightenment ideals of modernity with the Philippines, and a warning of the violence that might ensue from transplanting them there.
When I set off for the Philippines to conduct anthropological fieldwork, I did not expect new encounters with Rizal the novelist, since I planned to spend the bulk of my time outside university settings. In addition, I knew that in the Philippines, his novels had been subjected to "normalization" through reverence-inducing translations. This had the effect of blunting their immediacy and holding the reader at a distance from the world of the text-all part of the process of enshrining Rizal as a national hero whose worship was obligatory.1 Although my expectations proved correct, I was in fact constantly reminded of Rizal the novelist, since I found myself surrounded by the image of Rizal the national hero on movie billboards, TV advertisements, infomercials commemorating the centennial of the Philippines' independence from Spain, and book displays in the national bookstore. This Rizal jostled for face space with other heroes like Andres Bonifacio, but his dreamy good looks (accentuated by a wave of hair springing back from his youthful forehead and fixed forever in his most-often-reproduced portrait) gave him a distinct edge. Less prominent than the hero's image were his political writings and views, which were nevertheless also receiving attention from intellectuals and columnists.
While I had been fully prepared for the eclipse of Rizal the novelist by Rizal the hero, I simultaneously expected to encounter another aspect of the man: Rizal the myth. From my pre-fieldwork preparation and reading, I had learned that after Rizal's trial and execution for sedition in 1896 by the Spanish authorities, he came to be viewed in popular imagination as a Filipino Christ.
|Part of the doctrine of "Rizalista" societies that mushroomed in the twentieth-century Philippines was that at the proper moment, Rizal would be resurrected and reemerge from his hiding place deep inside Mt. Makiling, in his birthplace of Calamba, Laguna, to liberate the Filipino nation.|
Reynaldo Ileto (another Cornell alumnus) studied these legends and showed the association of Rizal with both Christ and with Bernardo Carpio, the culture-hero of Tagalog literary romance. It explained why the mythic Rizal came to be endowed with the characteristic powers of Filipino shamans: transformation of physical form at will, invincibility to bullets, and healing power.2
|On Good Friday and Holy Saturdays, pilgrims await the resurrection of Christ atop Mt. Banahaw.|
Prior to Ileto's work, popular veneration of Rizal was viewed rather ambivalently by historians as a form of patriotic nationalism distorted by superstition and credulity. Perhaps this view unconsciously mimicked the attitudes of the seventeenth-century Spanish chroniclers who were both appalled by the pagan religion of the Filipinos and reassured by its apparent monotheism. But I suspect that condescension was only part of it. Some historians probably viewed Rizal-veneration as a sign of a colonial mentality on the part of the masses, particularly when it came to light that Rizal's stature as the preeminent national hero had been partly the result of official promotion during the American period. Perhaps his elite credentials and urbanity made him more compatible with the objectives of U.S. colonialism than other contenders, such as the militant Andres Bonifacio.3 One counterresponse has been to attempt to demythify Rizal the hero and return to the man himself, or more precisely to the writings-on topics as diverse as pre-colonial Philippine history and epidemiology-through which he aimed to build a national consciousness. But ironically, the posthumous cults and legends about Rizal (which he would surely never have intended or desired) show that his death did even more to achieve this objective than his life's work.
But when I arrived in the Philippines in 1997, I learned that for the past couple of decades Rizalista churches with their charismatic leadership, prayer sessions, songs, and collective healing sessions invoking the curing power of Rizal have been in decline. While some have been disbanded, others have lost members due to internecine squabbles or failure to attract younger followers. This has sent older followers, in the words of one elderly Rizalista, "crawling into the woodwork." Accordingly, I put Rizal out of my mind altogether and settled down to begin research on pilgrimage and local identity on Mt. Banahaw, just south of the Rizalist heartland of Laguna. But before many months had passed, I stumbled across Josť Rizal in another guise that was not the novelist, the urban ilustrado, or the martyred Christ-figure. Instead, as pilgrims and healers recounted their mystical dream encounters with divinities and spirits, I began to hear more and more about Amang Doktor (Father-Doctor), a cantankerous spirit who appears to certain people as a wizened old man hunched over a walking stick. Although in appearance he is nothing like the handsome young man with the wave of hair over his forehead, according to my informants they are one and the same: this is Amang Doktor Josť Rizal. The spirit of the young patriot who was martyred at thirty-three has apparently grown old.
None of my informants who had met Amang Doktor had much familiarity with Rizal's writings or achievements as national hero beyond the basic contours of his life: his birth in Calamba, medical training in Europe, achievement of international renown, and finally, his execution by the Spanish. But if Amang Doktor's spirit did not appear to correspond directly to Rizal as writer or patriot, was he instead the mythic Rizal of the Rizalistas? In fact, the relationship between the myth of Rizal as Filipino savior and Amang Doktor the spirit was an ambiguous one. Like the former, Amang Doktor was not only a healer but a quasi-divine dispenser of wisdom about the past and the future. But his aged form and peremptory personality suggested that he did not resemble Christ so much as he did a rather crotchety old saint. To make matters more complicated, several people presented to me the theory, sometimes based upon personal communication, that Amang Doktor was the distinctive form assumed for the Philippines by the Holy Spirit. One such person was Mama Rose, a middle-aged woman who had left her comfortable life in a prosperous ethnic-Chinese family in Manila to become the founder of a mystical church at Mt. Banahaw. According to her, the life and career of Josť Rizal was only a brief but important interlude in the ancient history of Amang Doktor or the Holy Spirit, whose other titles included Engkanto de Dyos or "God's Enchanter." Instead of appearing in Mama Rose's dreams, Amang Doktor spoke to her directly and passed on messages and instructions to her followers. In accordance with Amang Doktor's wishes, devotees in Mama Rose's church took oaths of chastity, dressed modestly in white, abstained from eating meat, and spent six to eight hours a day on their knees, singing and worshipping the Four Persons-for Filipino folk-theology adds to the Trinity by positing four divinities: the Father, the Mother (who is distinct from the Virgin Mary), the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The overlap between what I have called the "mythic" Rizal of the Rizalistas and the spirit Rizal or Amang Doktor thus made the drawing of a sharp distinction between them particularly problematic. But as I became more familiar with Amang Doktor, I came to believe that his very existence and character also referred to the two other figures I have mentioned-Rizal the ilustrado writer and Rizal the nationalist hero-perhaps even conveying a ghostly commentary upon them.
|For instance, what was one to make of the aging of Rizal, notwithstanding his death at thirty-three, manifested in the transformation of his image from youthful nationalist poster-boy to wizened old man? Should this be read as a symbol of the declining relevance and appeal of Rizal's brand of national consciousness, as indicated by the collapse of the Rizalista churches? Similarly, what was the significance of the fact that Amang Doktor's miraculous cures employed not the shamanic techniques of traditional healers but the professional paraphernalia of the medical profession? Was this some kind of reminder that the potency of elite credentials such as those commanded by Rizal the medical doctor and ilustrado ultimately outstrips the healing prowess of a folk-expert such as an albularyo?|
But while I mulled over the echoes and reverberations amongst these multiple figures of Rizal-writer, hero, myth, and spirit-I little thought that I might one day witness a direct encounter between any of them. What I did not realize was that the plurality of interpretations of Rizal I had encountered in course work at Cornell might also have its analog in the real-life context of my fieldwork, where individuals and their distinct interpretations of Rizal had the potential to meet and clash. One such occurrence which I describe in some detail below took place within the walls of Mama Rose's church at Mt. Banahaw in April 1998, a few months before I returned from the Philippines to Ithaca. It will be apparent that such incidents do less to resolve the puzzle of Rizal's multiple personalities than to confirm the disorder. At the same time, I also believe that they challenge us to see this kind of plurality as productive rather than problematic.
It was Holy Week, perhaps the most intensely observed event in the religious calendar of the Philippines, and the time of year when the number of pilgrims and visitors at Mt. Banahaw reaches its height. A rather
|A view of Mt. San Christobal from Mt. Banahaw-the border between Quezon and Laguna.|
unusual event was taking place within the whitewashed walls of Mama Rose's simply built church: an acquaintance of hers of many years standing, the self-styled "Monsignor" of a mystical association based in Manila, had organized an impromptu open seminar on the theme of "spiritual government." His stated intention was to provide an opportunity for spiritually aware persons to converge and exchange their views on the state of the nation on the eve of the Philippine national election, scheduled to take place the following month.
Leaders and followers of tiny rural mystical associations from far-off provinces like Cagayan sat next to middle-class Manila professionals with interests in astrology and the occult. As the participants introduced themselves, I noted that while some called themselves as "Rizalistas," others referred to Dr. Josť Rizal as a great patriot and soul whose legacy still guided the Philippines in facing the uncertainties of an election and the approaching millennium. The name of Josť Rizal appeared to serve as a kind of emblem establishing this diverse array of individuals as a temporary community. By invoking Rizal's name, participants in the seminar demonstrated their shared perception of the inseparability of the outcome of this juncture in the Philippine polity from the spiritual fate of the nation, however differently each might be positioned on these topics. In addition, participants nodded as speaker after speaker reiterated his or her conviction in the special and mysterious role assigned to the Philippines in God's plan for the world.
The sense of harmony at the seminar was disturbed when one of the speakers, a provincial college teacher called Brother Art, began his talk by deploring that the sacrifices of national heroes in the Revolution appeared to have been in vain. Something of Brother Art's pointed animus that came as a shock in this gathering can be seen in the following excerpt from his speech:
"Brothers and sisters, have we forgotten the message of Dr. Josť Rizal? How can we Filipinos move ahead when we allow so many foreigners in our midst? Our language, religion, government, and educational system are all borrowed. What culture of our own have we? None. What is our national soul? It is not yet reborn. Before we speak of universal brotherhood, we must first renew it. For how can we unite with the world if we do not first unite amongst ourselves? Hate the foreigner first, so that we may be united! If we love the foreigners before ourselves, we will be lost. What has our love of foreign things brought us? It has robbed us of our national soul and treasure. Inchik (Chinese), Kano(Americans), and Bumbai (Indians) prosper in our country, but the Filipino remains behind."
Brother Art's words were indeed an eerie echo of one of the many voices of Rizal: that of the nationalist propagandist. Within several of his writings, including his well-known commentary upon the chronicle of the conquest-era Philippines written by sixteenth-century Spanish Jesuit Morga, Rizal developed a historical critique of colonialism that claimed that the Spanish had capitalized upon Filipino disunity to
|Mama Rosa Palau "baptizing" the author. Amang Doktor made an appearance on this occasion.|
assert their control over the islands. According to him, it was the Filipinos' vulnerability to the blandishments of a foreign power that had made them acquiesce to what was ultimately a corrupt and exploitative relationship with Spain, whereby they lost their technological and cultural achievements as well as their place in Asia.4 By pioneering the study of the pre-colonial Philippines, Rizal intended to create the preconditions necessary for the Philippines to rise above this susceptibility and reclaim her authentic history and national self. But while Brother Art was not inaccurate in his rendition of certain Rizalist views, I could not help thinking of other key characteristics of Rizal the ilustrado that had gone unmentioned. Chiefly I thought of his expansive interest in the world as a whole and the undefensive self-assurance with which he drew upon foreign intellectual traditions for what he found valuable. Surely these qualities mitigated the xenophobic quality of certain of Rizal's polemics? But even if so, who would make that point?
By the time Brother Art sat down, the occupants of the seminar room were already whispering to each other and looking around curiously as though unsure how to respond. They did not have to wait long. Mama Rose stood up, her face stern and eyes flashing, and she addressed the room without preamble in a voice quite unlike her own:
"Ave Maria Purisima!"
"Sin Pecado Concevida," automatically replied Mama Rose's followers and those sufficiently conversant with the spirit world to notice and realize the significance of the archaic greeting, the uncharacteristically deep tenor of her voice, and her stooped stance. They understood immediately that Mama Rose was in a state of trance, possessed by Amang Doktor, who apparently had something to say to those assembled at the seminar. She continued in the same voice:
"My children, do not speak of race. We are all descended from of God and to speak of race is to defy him. I was born on this earth a Chinese, but was brought to life for the sake of this land, the Philippines. Do you doubt me? Utter the word "foreigner" and you wound us all. Look at yourself in the mirror and recognize what you are, lest you condemn your own self."
Mama Rose continued to speak, but she stood up straight once again and her voice was recognizably her own. Casting a pointed look at Brother Art, she said, "Probably all of you think 'she's a Chinese, and wealthy to boot, what does she know about sacrifice?'" Well, I've given up all I had in order to stay here and serve Amang Doktor and Mother Philippines. Before you think ill of me, can you say the same for yourselves?"
After the challenge mounted by Amang Doktor and Mama Rose to Brother Art's anti-foreign tirade, successive speakers outdid each other in exhorting those assembled at the seminar to treat all people of good faith, Filipino and foreigners, with tolerance and acceptance. The most noteworthy of these speakers was an elderly albularyo, or healer, from the province of Cagayan in northern Luzon, who addressed his fellow-participants at the seminar with a broad smile. After describing himself as a seeker of spiritual knowledge, he raised his voice and asked himself rhetorically:
"Whose blood populated my town in Cagayan? Spanish friars and Chinese traders married with my ancestors. But what am I? An Igorot! We Igorots are the indigenous tribal Filipinos. And no matter whose blood we carry, we are God's chosen adoptees."
Although the albularyo's words had the rhetorical air of a platitude, what they conveyed was far from conventional. In fact, the seminar on "spiritual government" had the exhilarating and unexpected effect of suggesting to me that the issues contested by scholars of Rizal can acquire a life of their own outside the university. For example, the albularyo had responded to Brother Art's exhortation to "hate the foreigner" by openly asserting the presence of foreign elements in the make-up of the Igorots, who are commonly seen as the most "authentic" or autochthonous of Filipino peoples. Did this signify the rejection of the xenophobia attributed by Brother Art to Rizal in favor of a more inclusive principle of national belonging? Similarly, was the fact that Amang Doktor had claimed Chinese origins for himself his way of trumping Brother Art's version of Rizal? Or was it simply a reference to the historical fact of Rizal's Chinese-mestizo ethnicity? Finally, what role did Mama Rose's invocation of her own Chineseness play in her privileged relationship with Amang Doktor and her success in turning the tables on Brother Art?
More than a year after the event, I have not yet found any satisfactory answers to these questions. Although I have found it useful to distinguish the different figures of Josť Rizal: ilustrado writer, hero, myth, and spirit, charged social events such as the one described above show that the lines dividing these figures can easily become blurred and contested. This creates plenty of confusion for observers and participants and lots of scope for mutual understanding, misunderstanding, and the iconoclastic generation of new meanings. But what, precisely, is the significance of such moments in the life of an individual, a community, or a nation, and how does one learn to "read" them? As I attempt to frame and write a dissertation out of notes that document many such moments-fleeting, enigmatic, yet somehow powerful-I find this to be one of my greatest challenges.

Scared of being swept out in a round of redundancies? Then join a security company, where your misery is the industry's opportunity to protect intellectual property.
It is our opinion that the majority of security threats faced by Australian companies come from employee's who are dissatisfied or at risk of redundancy
ESD Australia's Les Goldsmith
Thanks to the financial and economic crisis, which McAfee's CEO Dave DeWalt at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week twisted into the "global meltdown in vital information", the security industry has found its new public enemy number one: not clumsy insiders who accidentally leak information, but fearful insiders who suspect they're about to become outsiders.
"The current economic crisis is poised to create a global meltdown in vital information. Increased pressures on firms to reduce spending and cut staffing have led to more porous defences and increased opportunity for crime," said DeWalt.
DeWalt based his comments on research that found US$4.6 billion worth of intellectual property was stolen last year across several countries. McAfee extrapolated it to US$1 trillion for the globe — a figure which will probably have to be trimmed in today's finance-constrained world.
But DeWalt's argument was compelling — superficially at least. Locally, people have been angered by how retrenchments have been conducted — coldly — and revenge of a similar ilk would surely be on the minds of some. Just take a look at the feedback on the story about Dimension Data's recent layoffs.
Les Goldsmith, a veteran of technical surveillance counter-measure services and MD of ESD Australia, contacted me with a similar argument to DeWalts'.
"It is our opinion that the majority of security threats faced by Australian companies come from employee's who are dissatisfied or at risk of redundancy," said Goldsmith.
The current economic climate meant that staff would be aware of the threat of being laid off, leaving a company's intellectual property at a greater risk of theft, he said.
To an extent I agree with Goldsmith, but how different would that be to a climate in which poaching staff was the norm? Say, like last year.
I also had a chat with Rob McAdam, managing director of penetration testing firm, Pure Hacking, a company that often does forensics after a data theft has occurred. He made two points. First, companies that let their staff know its systems are being monitored reduce the risk of a theft occurring. Staff weigh up the risks, he said.
The second is more telling though of the risk of IP theft, specifically. "All the jobs we've been called in for have been around credit card data," he said. "It's been more about how can I make a quick return and that takes a while on IP, but for credit card information it's fairly immediate."
So is your IP under threat? Probably, just like it was last year, but it's the day-to-day low-hanging, easily liquefied fruit that's still likely to be at the greatest risk.

Houston Ballet's Derek Dunn knows how to make an entrance. While just an apprentice in 2013, Dunn catapulted through the Wortham Theater Center airspace as Garuda, god of dreams, in Stanton Welch's La Bayadère. But it wasn't just his powerful pyrotechnics that created buzz throughout the audience. He possessed unusual refinement for such a young dancer, combining seamless finesse with extreme crispness. That level of technical prowess and overall polish even brought to mind the Carlos Acosta era at Houston Ballet.
With his Texas-sized bravura, Dunn, 21, has created a powerful presence and impressive fan base at Houston Ballet in a few short years. Compact and boyish, he's demonstrated remarkable versatility in both classical and contemporary roles. Yet the former comp kid has also had to learn patience and humility, and overcome insecurities about his height. Now a newly promoted demi-soloist, his career is building exciting momentum, with no sign of slowing down.

Dancing came into Dunn's life the same way it does for many men, by watching an older sister. “I wanted to do everything Danielle was doing," says Dunn. Growing up in Glen Burnie, Maryland, he tried his first plié at Edna Lee Dance Studio, where he became a tap/jazz/competition kid. He also played every sport he could, but being a boy dancer was not without its complications—there were times when he was unfairly judged as weak. Dunn didn't let it get to him. “Dancing was never something I wanted to hide," he says. “I didn't feel the need to go out of my way to get everyone on my side." In addition to understanding friends, he had unrelenting support from his tight-knit family. “Even when I'm hard on myself and knock myself down, I know they're always there to lift me back up."
At Edna Lee's, he met ballet teacher Ashley Canterna Hardy, who played a serious role in shaping his career. Noting his facility and work ethic, she suggested he focus more on ballet. “The cleanliness of his dancing is insane," says Canterna Hardy. “He's not just technical—he has the ability to tell a story."
Dunn was willing to switch gears, and Canterna Hardy was struck by his determination. “He would not stop until a combination was polished," she says. He went on to attend the Kirov Academy of Ballet's summer intensive, where he experienced his first men's class and a glimpse of a life on the professional track. “I discovered how much I loved ballet," he says. Then, a surprising win at Youth America Grand Prix at age 12 opened Dunn's eyes. “I realized that I am good at this."

At 14, he received a scholarship to The Rock School for Dance Education in Philadelphia, where he spent the next three years. The schedule was a huge adjustment. “My daily workload had doubled, if not tripled," recalls Dunn, who was also living on his own for the first time. There, teacher Natalya Zeiger and school directors Bo and Stephanie Spassoff helped him develop partnering skills, cleaned up his bad habits and “taught me to turn like a ballet dancer."
He also continued to compete, winning the Senior Gold Medal at YAGP in 2012. It was there that Houston Ballet's artistic director, Stanton Welch, discovered him. “He kept delivering one great solo after another, and he's so unaffected," says Welch. “I was on the lookout for a shorter man, and Derek was the right fit." Dunn had planned to continue training at the John Cranko School in Germany when Welch offered him an apprenticeship. The decision, he says, was a no-brainer: “Why go to Europe when I had a job offer?"
But the transition to professional life came with a few speed bumps. At 17, he was the youngest member of the company. While his competition experience had helped him nail a job, it didn't prepare him for the professional world's unspoken etiquette. “I wasn't used to the hierarchy," he explains. “I had to be told not to be in the front of the room."
He also found the rate at which the dancers learned new material mind-boggling. “Everyone here picks up choreography so quickly," Dunn says. “I am getting better at it, but it takes me more time to get it in my body."
He bonded with former Houston Ballet dancer Jim Nowakowski, another competition veteran, right away. (The pair's virtuosic, perfectly synchronized pirouette videos on YouTube are a fun homage to their comp kid backgrounds.) Yet Nowakowski, who left the company in 2015 to be a contestant on FOX's “So You Think You Can Dance," stresses that Dunn's authenticity is what makes his dancing so powerful. “Yes, he can do every trick in the book," he says, “but that's always the cherry on top."
In spite of his rocky beginning, Dunn's apprentice year was not without opportunity. In addition to his standout role in La Bayadère, he danced in Welch's impossibly fast Clear (he later danced the lead, originally created for Angel Corella). The performance was his baptism into the Welch canon, a rite of passage for any Houston Ballet dancer.
Over the next few seasons, Dunn continued to build momentum. Welch created an eight-minute solo on him in Sons de L'âme, performed in Paris at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées with piano virtuoso Lang Lang. “I felt there was nothing he could not do," says Welch. Indeed, Dunn has showed exceptional range, easily transitioning between classical ballets and the more contemporary works by William Forsythe, Mark Morris and Trey McIntyre.

Dunn also proved himself as Balthasar, one of Romeo's rascally sidekicks in Welch's Romeo and Juliet. “I had to play around with the character's fighter side, because it didn't come naturally to me," says Dunn. “But that's the fun part of playing different roles. They force you out of your comfort zone and pull out a different side of yourself that you didn't know you had."
In the spring of 2015, however, his momentum came to screeching halt. First, he sustained an end-of-season ankle injury. Then, the following fall, he injured his other foot, leaving him offstage for a total of six months. “Mentally, I had to struggle every day that ballet was taken away from me," he says. “I was forced to develop a life outside of ballet. I was a normal kid once. I did some socializing with non-dancers, and I remain connected to these friends."
Last February, he came flying back in top form as the Bluebird in Ben Stevenson's The Sleeping Beauty. His Princess Florine, soloist Allison Miller, was happy to see him back. “Derek is confident and connected to whatever role he's performing and to whomever he's dancing with," she says.
Dunn received his long-anticipated promotion to demi-soloist last spring. While he has yet to dance a lead role in a story ballet, he feels the potential is there. (Someday, he hopes to dance Romeo.) And while he's 5' 7", he doesn't see his height as a barrier to princely roles, citing Daniil Simkin, Herman Cornejo and Mikhail Baryshnikov as his inspirations.
“Growing up, I always saw my height as a negative," says Dunn. “I thought if I were taller, I would get more job offers and do more roles. I've learned that, in the professional world, I can also see my height as an asset. Being a shorter dancer has given me opportunities to stand out in solo roles—it makes me different."
His confidence is contagious rather than cocky. “I am on the right track. I'm going to roll with that," he says with a boyish grin. “I want to do it all."

Historic Sites of Manitoba: Lockport School No. 6 (RM of St. Andrews)
The Lockport School District was organized formally in July 1871 and a school building operated on Lot 110E in the Parish of St. Andrews, in what is now the Rural Municipality of St. Andrews. A one-room schoolhouse was constructed between 1922 and 1923 on a design by Winnipeg architect E. D. Tuttle. It closed around 1967 as jurisdiction for the area became the responsibility of the Lord Selkirk School Division. The former school buildings, dating from the early 20th century, were renovated into a private residence, now connected together into a single building.
Among the other teachers of Lockport School was Lorna L. Ellison (1951-1952, grades 3-5).

It took you four months to lose 10 pounds, and you have cheat days? Wow! In another four months, it would be 20 pounds you will have lost. Not shabby. I'd say, just keep it up. You're living with a plan that works for you now. It seems your only complaint is that you would like it to work faster.
I'd say you're doing fine.

Network Discovery Tool
You should know WHAT network discovery tool you are looking for. This tool will discover the network for - WHAT? What information should it show the user after discoverying the network?
There is a wide range of network discovery tools available on the internet. They perform different tasks and display very different information to the user, but the most important and complex tools of this kind are those that discover the network and retrieve hardware and software information for each computer and networked device found.
After this configuration will be retrieved, the tool stores it in a centralized database so the network administrator or another responsible person at any time can check what operatinsystem is installed on Joe's computer or how mu memory does Mr.Roberts have on his PC.
Network discovery tools of this kind retrieve as much information about each networked PC as possible. They detect processor model and speed, amount of memory installed, hard disk drives capacity, video adapter model, network card type (wired or wireless) speed and configuration, peripheral equipment like printers and scanners and so on. For software options they detect not only operating system name and version, but also service packs and hotfixes installed, the name and version of the antivirus package used, and, finally, the list of software (sometimes with the license keys) installed on each individual PC.
Finally, the network administrator or IT team member who used this software against his/her network sees the complete configuration of the network received after the network scan. Of course he can later review the configuration detected or even re-scan the whole network or a certain part of it, updating the information stored in the computers configuration database.
To see it working by yourself please try the evaluation version of the Asset Tracker for Networks, possibly the best tool of this kind available:

Have you guys seen all The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap? Lindsay from Love and Olive Oil and Julie from The Little Kitchen teamed up to organize this huge cookie swap for food bloggers. We each made three dozen cookies and shipped a dozen to three different food bloggers. The best part was that Hubby and I got to try three new kinds of cookies! We loved checking the mail every day to see if there was a new box of cookies waiting for us.
For my contribution, I decided to make these Chewy Chocolate Ginger Cookies. When Hubby tried one straight from the oven, he thought the ginger taste was too overpowering. After sitting in the fridge for a couple days, the ginger flavor became more subtle. They honestly mellowed out into an amazing flavor combination.
And now on to the good stuff, the cookies that Hubby and I got to enjoy. I totally forgot to take pictures of the cookies, so be sure to click through to each blog to see the photos and recipes. That Skinny Chic Can Bake sent Raspberry White Chocolate Bars. Peanut Butter and Julie sent some Cranberry Lemon Biscotti. And last but not least, Reetsyburger’s Refuge sent some Simple Shortbread cookies.
As a reminder, everyone who participated in The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap should email Cookies for Kids Cancer with the number of cookies swapped (3 dozen here) so that Glad can donate $0.10 for each cookie.
Yield: Makes 2.5 dozen cookies
7 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups plus 1 Tbsp flour
1 1/4 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 Tbsp unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
8 Tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 Tbsp freshly grated ginger
1/2 cup dark-brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
Line two baking sheets with parchment. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and cocoa.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and grated ginger until whitened, about 4 minutes. Add brown sugar; beat until combined. Add molasses; beat until combined.
In a small bowl, dissolve baking soda in 1 1/2 teaspoons boiling water. Beat half of flour mixture into butter mixture. Beat in baking-soda mixture, then remaining half of flour mixture. Mix in chocolate; turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Pat dough out to about 1 inch thick; seal with wrap; refrigerate until firm, 2 hours or more.
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Roll dough into 1 1/2- inch balls; place 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Refrigerate 20 minutes. Roll in granulated sugar. Bake until the surfaces crack slightly, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe from Martha Stewart

La Habra Bus Accident Attorneys
Bus accidents involving municipal or local buses often involve three types of victims: pedestrians or bicyclists, passengers in cars, and passengers on the bus itself. No matter what type of victim you have been in a bus accident, La Habra bus accident lawyers can help you recover damages for your injuries.
Buses sometimes hit bicyclists or pedestrians. Our city streets are crowded, and bus drivers are sometimes distracted and pull away from a curb without realizing that a pedestrian or bicycle rider is in their path. When this happens, the pedestrian or bicycle rider can be seriously injured or even killed, although most of these accidents happen at a low rate of speed. Buses have also hit pedestrians or cyclists while traveling at higher rates of speed along busy thoroughfares, and these accidents are almost always very serious. Even a “slight bump” by a slow-moving bus can serious injure a pedestrian or bicycle rider due to the sheer size and weight of a city bus coming into contact with an unprotected human being.
Passengers in cars can also be seriously injured or killed if a large bus collides with a car. Passenger vehicle occupants can be crushed by the weight of a bus if the impact is strong enough, and passengers who are not wearing safety restraints can be ejects from the car if a bus rear-ends or sideswipes a car. However, passenger car occupants tend to have more protection in a bus accident than a pedestrian or bicycle rider.
Passengers on the bus itself may also suffer injuries if the bus collides with another vehicle, a utility pole, or any other obstruction. Passengers on a bus rarely have any safety restraints and may actually be standing up if the bus is crowded, meaning that they are far more likely to fall or be thrown around inside the bus in the event of a collision. Passengers can also be injured going up and down the steps of a stopped bus if the bus is hit by another vehicle while it idles.
No matter what the circumstances of your bus accident, bus accident attorneys in La Habra can help. These legal experts understand the special circumstances that surround bus accidents and can give you sound advice about the value of your case and how to recover damages for your injuries. Even if you think that your case is not worth much, you should still talk to a professional bus accident attorney before you sign any settlement papers. Bus companies and insurance providers often try to get victims of a bus accident to sign waivers right away in exchange for small payments. You may find that your case is worth far more than the amount these agents are offering when you talk to a La Habra bus accident attorney.
Your initial consultation with a La Habra bus accident lawyer is always free, so there is no risk to you to seek legal advice about your case. Talk to a La Habra bus accident attorney today.

EXCLUSIVE: Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen’s Temple Hill Entertainment has signed a new two-year deal with ABC Studios and has hired former Entertainment One Television executive Larry Gilbert as SVP of Television.
Temple Hill, which produces the hugely successful Twilight movie franchise, moved into television two years ago with a pact at ABC Studios. Its first project under the deal was a contemporary take on The Count of Monte Cristo from a female perspective written by Mike Kelley. The project, titled Revenge, went to pilot, then series, and, after a breakout first season, has been awarded ABC’s marquee Sunday 9 PM slot for fall. “The experience has been one hell of a ride”, said Bowen who, along with Godfrey, serves as an executive producer on Revenge. “We’ve had an embarrassment of riches with a studio that supports it, a network that believes in it, network and studio heads that have embraced it from the beginning, and a showrunner who has done the impossible task of putting on a great show and maintaining the quality”.
The goal for Temple Hill’s development going forward is “to build on the success of Revenge and build on the company’s success in the feature world,” including bringing feature writers to television, said Gilbert. At eOne, Gilbert oversaw the US and international co-production series, including Hell on Wheels (AMC), Rookie Blue (ABC/Global), Haven (Syfy/Showcase/NBCU International), and the upcoming Rogue (DirecTV/HBO Canada). Prior to that, he was VP of TVn Development for Icon Prods.
On the feature side, Temple Hill, repped by WME in TV, has the last film in the Twilight franchise, Breaking Dawn: Part 2, out in November. They also have Ten Years with Channing Tatum coming out in September, and are producing the feature adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ Safe Haven, as well as the latest installment of Die Hard.

Fireray beam detectors are specifically designed to provide protection in large buildings with high ceilings, where conventional point smoke detectors are ineffective. With their modern design and minimal footprint, Fireray detectors are used in applications as varied as airports, railways stations and warehouses to shopping centres, sports arenas and places of worship.
Talentum flame detectors are used in sensitive or dangerous environments to detect fires even before smoke is produced, or where smokeless fires may occur. By watching for and recognising the non-visible ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) signatures of flames, the Talentum range does not need smoke to detect a fire. They can even detect flames through steam, smoke and, with an Air Purge Kit, dust. They are also immune to the effects of wind.
FFE is a global design and manufacturing business, dedicated to supplying specialist detection products to the fire industry. Headquartered in the UK with offices in the USA, Dubai, India and China, the company’s two leading brands are the Fireray optical beam smoke detector, with over half a million units installed worldwide, and the Talentum flame detector, one of the world’s most respected flame detector brands. FFE also leads the global market in providing fire extinguishers for aviation use and produces a range of vibration switches for industrial applications. FFE is a Halma Company.

SIKESTON -- After a long wait, King David's Lodge No. 11 members will soon own their building.
In April 2002, Council members accepted an offer from the Lodge to rehabilitate a commercial structure owned by the city at 203 Luther and lease the building at $100 per month.
The group also asked if the city would deed the property to them at the end of the five-year lease. Chuck Leible, city counselor, advised during Monday's City Council meeting that the agreement documents instead give the Lodge first right of refusal if the city opted to sell the property following the lease.
After some discussion, Council members agreed to go ahead and turn the building over to them.
Leible was directed by council members to draw up documents to sell the building along with small adjacent strips of land to the Lodge at a nominal price of about $10.
In January 2005, a decision on the sale of the property was postponed for six months by council members due to incidents which occurred on Dec. 26, 2004. On this date, the Department of Public Safety responded to a report of armed subjects in the area outside the building followed by a call about an hour later for fight that escalated into an all-call for DPS.
Lodge officers explained the trouble was from someone ejected from the facility when the building was booked for a party to raise money for the building's operation.
Following that incident, Lodge officers decided to not allow any more fundraisers of that type to be held there.
In September 2005, council members again declined to sell the building to the lodge's officers and advised lodge members would have two years to demonstrate there wouldn't be any further problems there. Council members also rejected a request for a consumption of liquor license for the facility.
DPS Director Drew Juden advised council members Monday that no further incidents have been reported there.

By RYAN PAPASERGE
OBSERVER Sports Reporter
Brothers Hector and Tito Colom rewrote the Dunkirk wrestling record books by breaking or tying decades-old marks this season with impressive showings in tournaments along the way.
Dunkirk wrestler Hector Colom, who competed this past season at 105 and 99 pounds.
Hector’s cousin, Tito Colom, who wrestled for the Marauders at 105 and 113 pounds this past sea
What scares opponents and delights head coach Joe McMurdy regarding the Section 6 Class B champions is the fact that Tito's a freshman and Hector is just a seventh-grader.
"They're always willing to learn, they're always willing to work hard," McMurdy said. "When they did lose, they lost with class they're very coachable kids."
And they rarely lost.
Both brothers broke the school record - set by Jim Leman with 32 wins in the 1982-83 season - as Hector recorded a 37-5 record and Tito a 35-5 mark. If the Coloms continue at that pace, both will shatter Chiro Fred's all-time mark of 128 victories with ease.
Hector pinned 21 opponents in the 2012-13 season and tied Ed Ruiz's single-season mark in the process. The younger Colom is destined to break Fred's mark of 58 career pins long before his senior year.
In one season, Tito tied the Marauders' mark of five career tournament titles while Hector's right behind with four.
Once again: Tito's a freshman and Hector's a seventh-grader who turned 12 during the season.
"He probably will break (the Dunkirk career wins record) by ninth grade," McMurdy said regarding Hector. "He will have a shot to be one of the top in all of New York State for career wins."
Both wrestlers were undefeated at the 105-pound weight class, with Tito's losses coming at 113 and Hector's at 99.
There were no complaints about the stresses of making weight from either Colom.
"Our guys were cheering each other on and this year we were able to beat three or four of the top teams in Western New York and it's a result of what both boys have done," McMurdy said. "They were more than willing to move up a weight class or two to wrestle whoever. They've very level-headed kids and that's what made the transition easy."
Hector claimed the Niagara County Community College Invitational in December while Tito won both the Ripley Invitational and Salamanca Wrestling Tournament in January. The Coloms also took individual titles at the Cattaraugus-Little Valley Invitational later that month.
The duo came from New Jersey with a wrestling resume as part of the Scorpions Academy, touting victories in tournaments throughout the Northeast. The Coloms immediately impressed on a team that certainly needed the attention: the Dunkirk wrestling program is five years removed from a 20-year hiatus.
"Being a real young team and with a lot of the kids we already had coming back, (the Coloms) ended up showing them different training techniques to help their season and their careers," McMurdy said.
Many of those techniques undoubtedly came from the Cobra Wrestling Academy, a Depew-based gym where the brothers currently hone their sporting craft in the offseason. This weekend, both Coloms are competing at the New York's Wrestling Association for Youth (NYWAY) State Finals in Ithaca after winning the Far West Regionals at NCCC last weekend.
Not surprisingly, the lessons learned on the travel circuit translate to success on the high school level - even if Hector isn't facing opponents from outside his age group.
"They do the state tournament and they travel all over for the national tournaments," McMurdy said. "(Hector's) wrestling 12-year-olds ... he's going to do really, really well. He's done well in the past already."
The Coloms' success had led to McMurdy partnering with the Cobra Wrestling Academy to open Cobra South for youngsters from around Chautauqua County. The first camp is set for this spring.
"I think we have eight or nine that are working in the offseason with Cobra now," McMurdy said. "They're continuing in the offseason, which will be huge for these guys. Getting Cobra here was a big thing for us because it allows our kids to catch up with a lot."
Along with the alliance with Cobra, it's a promising sign for McMurdy's team that the Coloms have an eye on the future of the program as a whole.
"Tito is extremely mature for a freshman," McMurdy said. "He's also a young freshman, but I think they like the way the program's going and they like the new kids. Both of them noticed a huge improvement (throughout the season). They're very team-oriented.
"(Hector's) really young," McMurdy continued. "He's only going to get more mature. When it comes to wrestling, he takes it very seriously. He's also very willing to help."

Children learn the difference between "good touch," "bad touch," and "secret touch" in a sensitive, reassuring way. By observing children being assertive, they learn how to protect themselves. Two themes are emphasized: if a "secret touch" happens, the child needs to tell a trusted adult, and secret touching is not the child's fault. Kids readily identify with the green bear, Kelly, who makes mistakes but keeps trying to do his best. Interactive songs highlight this program. The original songs include "Looking in the Mirror," an upbeat, self-acceptance song; "Secret Touch;" and "Don't Be Afraid." This program is field-tested and proven effective. 20 minute DVD.
FIRST PLACE AWARD WINNER: National Council on Family Relations Media Award, Family Violence/Abuse category.
HONORABLE MENTION: International Cindy Competition
This product is also part of the Kelly Bear DVD Series.

SpeakOut is Truthout's treasure chest for bloggy, quirky, personally reflective, or especially activism-focused pieces. SpeakOut articles represent the perspectives of their authors, and not those of Truthout.
Yasukuni apologists will say that this a place where the war dead can be remembered and that Shinzo Abe's offering of a Masakaki "sacred tree" branch to the shrine on Monday 21 April was perfectly within the remit of a Japanese prime minister.
You can imagine the outrage if German politicians visited or gave offerings to a shrine that denied the Holocaust.
It is not just the fact that not a single body is buried at Yasukuni shrine, though more than 2,466,000 souls are enshrined there. By going to that shrine, by giving offerings to the shrine, Japanese politicians are turning their backs on another option. Just up the road is the Chidorigafuchi National Cemetery with the remains of 352,297 unknown Japanese soldiers and civilians. It is tranquil, serene, respectful. Its evergreen trees provide ample places of shade. It is close to Yasukuni and is served by the same subway stop, Kudanshita. Like Yasukuni, it is near the Imperial palace. The emperor, who shuns Yasukuni, even though his ministers go there, is a frequent visitor.
On Friday, April 18, 2014, the Alabama Supreme Court issued a 8-1 decision in Ex Parte Hicks upholding the conviction of Sara Hicks, who gave birth to a healthy baby who tested positive for cocaine in 2008. This decision affirmed the Court's prior ruling in Ex Parte Ankrom, holding that that the plain meaning of the word "child" in the Alabama law unambiguously includes fertilized eggs and that pregnantwomen may be arrested for using a controlled substance while pregnant.
As a result of the rulings in Ankrom and Hicks, there is no exception from prosecution for pregnant women who used controlled substances that are prescribed by physicians. (See "Your Epidural is Against the Law: What Alabama Women and Doctors Need to Know".) Because Justice Moore's concurring opinion in Hicks relies on Biblical citations and God's authority, the decision may also raise First Amendment establishment clause questions.
Yesterday, a federal appeals panel ordered the government to release of a classified Justice Department memo outlining the legal justification for the 2011 drone strike that killed U.S. citizen Anwar Al-Awlaki. The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law joined an amicus brief in the case arguing that the government’s attempt to withhold the legal memo results in “secret law” and runs contrary to the Freedom of Information Act.
In yesterday’s ruling, the federal appeals panel held that the government waived any claim to secrecy of the memo due to public statements made by the administration about the lawfulness of drone strikes, including a “white paper” issued by the JusticeDepartment. A judge on the appeals panel wrote that these disclosures preclude the government from claiming that the legal justification for drone strikes cannot be made public.
An Institute for Policy Studies report released today puts a price tag on how much taxpayers are subsidizing exorbitant executive pay at the nation’s top restaurant chains.
The report focuses on the loophole that allows corporations to deduct unlimited amounts from their income taxes for the cost of executive compensation—as long as the pay is in the form of stock options and other so-called “performance pay.” This loophole serves as a massive subsidy for excessive executive compensation.
Restaurant Industry Pay: Taxpayers' Double Burden calculates the cost of CEO pay subsidies at the 20 largest corporate members of the National Restaurant Association, a leading opponent of efforts to raise the minimum wage. The NRA is organizing a major lobby drive in Washington on April 29-30.
Hon. Secretary of State John Kerry:
As President, Mr. Kutesa would preside over important meetings including the General Assembly, when you and President Obama attend in the Fall.
As you are aware his boss and partner Gen. Yoweri Museveni has now presided over a repressive and brutal dictatorship in Uganda for 28 years.
An Open Letter:
Governor of Massachusetts Deval Patrick said in a radio interview on April 15, 2014: "I respect the authority of the Supreme Court to make those decisions" that have corrupted politics, like McCutcheon. I write the Governor to clarify his position, and to express opposition to this statement.
To "respect" authority in the abuse of its power is to align oneself with and further enable that same abuse. Experience shows that resisting rather than respecting such abuse, especially in the case of the U.S. Supreme Court, has the effect of curbing it.
Converting a democracy into a plutocracy is a crime of constitutional dimensions. If the Governor does sincerely believe that the Roberts Court legitimately has the power to amend the Constitution for this purpose, I would like him to point out precisely where in the Constitution that power is given to five unelected judges? Article V seems to have a different, much more difficult, process in mind than the vote of a single Supreme Court justice in a 5-4 decision. The constitutional process involves an intentionally – and for any such major political change all but impossibly – difficult 2/3 vote of each house of Congress. Then three-fourths of the state legislatures must ratify Congress' proposal. The elected representatives of those bodies, through their legislative acts, give not the remotest sign of agreeing with the Roberts 5 about the constitutional validity of allowing big money into politics.
Five judges' radical amendment of the Constitution by their series of seven decisions to which the Governor gives his "respect" flouts the established process for making such an enormous constitutional change.
In what the New York Times describes as "a net neutrality turnaround" the Obama administration's new FCC chairman is proposing rules that will create an Internet for the wealthy. The new plan to create a pay to play Internet came to light Wednesday in the Wall Street Journal.
Under the plan wealthy corporations will be able to purchase faster service, while those that cannot do so will have slower service. Rather than an open Internet for all the US will be moving to a class-based Internet. Of course, this will mean that when Netflix and other corporations purchase faster Internet, the consumers who use their service will be paying more to watch movies and download information. As a result, more money will be funneled from working Americans to wealthy telecom giants.
SANTA FE—Yesterday, the New Mexico Medical Cannabis Program's Medical Advisory Board voted unanimously to add neurodegenerative dementia including Alzheimer's disease (AD) to the list of medical conditions eligible for the Medical Cannabis Program. The Secretary of Health will have the final decision. Medical cannabis is currently available to Alzheimer's patients in thirteen of the states that authorize its use.
The Drug Policy Alliance filed the petition on behalf of all New Mexicans who suffer from Alzheimer's disease. Although Alzheimer's disease was specifically petitioned for, the board chose to expand their recommendation to include all types of neurodegenerative dementia.
Inexplicably, some still argue that there's no scientific consensus on anthropogenic – i.e., man-made - climate disruption (ACD). Perhaps it's necessary to first define consensus.
Merriam-Webster defines consensus as "a general agreement" or "the judgment arrived at by most of those concerned." Clearly, consensus does not mean unanimity. Nor is it normally understood to denote a simple (50% plus 1) majority. So, at what point does an opinion become "consensual"? At 75% of those qualified to speak on a particular matter? At 80%?
San Francisco, CA - The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) today filed an unprecedented lawsuit in the U.S. Federal District Court in San Francisco to hold the United States government accountable for its flagrant violations of the international nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
The small island nation, once used as a testing ground for nuclear bombs, says the United States has repeatedly broken its promise to pursue the abolition of nuclear weapons. Article VI of the 1968 Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) requires the U.S. to pursue negotiations "in good faith" for an end to the nuclear arms race "at an early date" and for nuclear disarmament.

Theory and Practice from the Medieval to the Modern
Anne Løkke Conspicuous Consumption: The Royal Lying-in Hospital in Copenhagen in the late Eighteent
Anne Løkke Conspicuous Consumption: The Royal Lying-in Hospital in Copenhagen in the late Eighteenth Century The honourable royal counsellor, Count Knuth, wrote in April 1802 to the Royal Lying-in Hospital in Copenhagen, to ask if the hospital would receive his married daughter, the Countess Stolberg, to give birth in the Lady Chambers at the hospital. The response was positive on these con- ditions: that visitors should only stay during daytime and pay for their own refreshments and that the baptism should take place at the hospital. The countess gave birth in July duly followed by baptism with the most distinguished godparents.1 For historians knowing the bad reputation the nineteenth century European lying-in hospitals had earned for themselves, it is surprising to meet a married countess giving birth here.2 In the late eighteenth century however, the Royal Lying-in Hospital in Copenhagen had an excellent reputation. Trainee obstetricians from all over Europe came to see for themselves one of the successful lying-in hospitals in Europe and Countess Stolberg was not the only married woman of high rank who was eager to give birth there, attended by the royal birth attendants, even if the main purpose of the hospital was to provide a discreet birthplace free of charge to desperate unwed women, who could otherwise be tempted to infanticide.3 1 Emmerik Ingerslev, Den Kgl.

I know I have a good memory.
Things, people, places, stories...they all stay with me.
I can't wash them away.
But I want and need to remember it all.
I need to capture every moment of what you are giving me and I need to put it in a safe bottle.
One with a lid for protection.
And most importantly, a lid I can open.
Every time I need a reminder of what you have been able to do
for my second chance
for my surprises at motherhood
for my life
I can open this bottle and drink you in.
And so, I promise to keep a running list.
Times when life really mattered
and I will come back to this list each and every time I need a drink,
or need to add to it.
Because I promise to make this my priority,
our list of real moments,
ones that really matter,
I will make adding to this list what my life should be all about.
These are our moments that matter...
We tried for both of you
desperately wanting you to find us.
And the day we found out we were pregnant with you,
were glorious and terrifying days.
Your father could not hide his desperate love for you both.
His joy beamed out of every part of him.
He loved you before he even met you.
And with both of you, I will always remember the look on his face when the test read positive.
Anna, moments before you were born,
your dad came into the operating room shaking and his face mask was drenched in tears.
I have never ever seen him so scared
so desperate for you.
You did and do that to him Anna.
You rattle dad.
You make him believe in something bigger than all of us.
This was the moment that time stood still for me.
One night, we all had a huge dance party.
The kind in which we were laughing so hard it hurt to breathe.
We had friends over who made us laugh
who brought childhood into our home
And it mattered a lot.
Cole, you walked really late, later than your sister.
And you had us worried.
The day you walked monkey, we fell over with shrieks of laughter and love and relief.
Cole, you would tell us how much you loved us by the number of claps.
Mom was always a two clap love.
Dad was always three claps.
He was always your best friend buddy.
And although I tease about feeling sad, this warms my heart.
Anna and Cole,
both of your teachers have pulled me and dad aside to tell us what good friends and people you are.
How you aim to please and how kind you are.
I don't care about your grades,
you are smart people that will always do well.
We have nothing to worry about when it comes to what the tests and grades mean.
But this, this moment when both of them told me how much they look forward to seeing you
well, that's what matters.
Anna, your very first dance, was with dad.
In the hospital,
with U2 playing in the background.
Cole, everything you do, you're all in.
you're always all in.
I will always remember this.
Anna, when you were just born and still waking up to eat, your last feeding was around 4am.
I would then bring you into our room and place you on my chest to sleep.
I would listen to you breathe and watch you sleep.
It was heaven.
you were my one and only love at first sight.
I loved you from the moment they put you into my arms.
You won over the entire nursery with your face.
Anna, your first word was woof (because that's what you would call Mia) and it was too adorable.
Cole, your first word was mamma. Thank you for knowing how much I needed that.
Anna and Cole, your vocabulary always wowed everyone.
As babies, you both had so so many words.
And you still do.
You love to talk.
You love love love to talk.
Cole, you have always hummed when you eat, especially if you love it.
And your feet still dance when you take your first bites.
I hope you always love food this much.
Anna, the first time you held Cole you looked down at him and up at me and said,
"he's my best friend".
You spent the first year of his life playing and dressing and taking great care of him.
You need to know how important you each were and are to each other.
Summer of 2014 was so bad for us. The house project kind of destroyed our little family.
Summer of 2015 it all came to a head and it was this picture that brought me back to life.
Taken from a photographer that has watched you both grow.
Seen through the eyes of a camera lens, is a family that loves.
November of 2015 we had a heat wave for a glorious week.
Temps were close to or in the 70s, in November.
And your father needed a family hike and we got one in.
At first, everyone was cranky.
Cole was tired and didn't want to walk.
I was feeding into his mood.
Anna wanted to be on a playground and not a trail.
But we walked on.
Three minutes in, we were racing through the trail,
Cole was laughing and holding dad's hand.
We were playing I spy.
The kids were holding hands and Anna you were helping Cole climb and walk.
It was magic.
I vow to always come back to this list.
I will add our memories that matter here.
For you to always have, always.

One of the greatest plays of modern theatre, Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie tells the story of a small, fragile family living trapped between the memories of the past and their dreams for the future.
Amanda Wingfield is a faded, tragic remnant of Southern gentility who lives in poverty in a dingy St. Louis apartment with her son, Tom, and her daughter, Laura. Amanda strives to give meaning and direction to her life and the lives of her children, though her methods are ineffective and irritating. Tom is driven nearly to distraction by his mother’s nagging and seeks escape in alcohol and movies. Laura also lives in her illusions. She is crippled, and this defect, intensified by her mother’s anxiety to see her married, has driven her more and more into herself. A drama of great tenderness, charm and beauty, THE GLASS MENAGERIE is one of the most famous plays of the modern theatre.
Presented by Theatre Tallahassee. All Theatre Tallahassee shows run for three weekends and open on a Thursday night at 8 pm and run Friday and Saturday nights at 8 pm and Sundays at 2 pm. The Glass Menagerie runs February 15-March 4, 2018.

Add parser for 6-byte SEG-Y numbers
Support locations 225-230 and 205-210 in the SEG-Y trace header.
From the SEG-Y standard: The constant is encoded as a four-byte, two's complement integer (bytes 205–208 or bytes 225-228) which is the mantissa and a two-byte, two's complement integer (bytes 209–210 or bytes 229-230) which is the power of ten exponent (i.e. Bytes 205–208 * 10**Bytes 209–210).
This will require creating a new rule for a 6 byte header. This can be handled when the RuleEntry class is changed to specifying byte positions and parsing values. A parser for converting this 6-byte number to a native number will also be needed.
Once that's in place, maybe add a default metadata key for the given trace metadatas?

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - The Texas House of Representatives approved sweeping abortion restrictions on Tuesday, including a ban after 20 weeks of pregnancy and tougher standards for clinics that perform the procedure.
The vote of 98-49 came after a full day of sometimes emotional debate. Before the measure can head to the state Senate, it needs a final vote from the House, which is expected on Wednesday.
The House approved the same proposal during a previous special session of the legislature, but it failed to pass in the Senate after Democratic Senator Wendy Davis staged an 11-hour filibuster that gained national attention.
Planned Parenthood, the country’s largest provider of abortions, says the proposed stricter standards for clinics could cause all but six of the 42 abortion facilities in Texas to shut down. Bill author Republican Jodie Laubenberg said no facility would be forced to close.
Texas Governor Rick Perry, a Republican who opposes abortion, called lawmakers back to Austin for a second special session to reconsider the proposal. Most lawmakers in the Republican controlled Senate favor the bill.
Since the second special session began on July 1, thousands of Texans have packed the Capitol to testify at hearings, hold rallies and march.
After the vote on Tuesday, bill opponents crowded the area outside the House chamber, chanting “Defense! Defense!” to cheer on lawmakers who voted against the bill and were emerging from the legislative chamber.
During the debate on Tuesday, Representative Jason Villalba, a Republican whose wife is expecting a baby boy, spoke passionately in favor of the bill while showing his colleagues a sonogram picture of “my son.”
“We fight this fight because of innocent human life,” he said.
The 20-week provision - a version of which has been passed by a dozen states - is based on controversial research suggesting fetuses feel pain at that point in the pregnancy.
Bill opponent Representative Senfronia Thompson, a Democrat, unsuccessfully proposed an amendment to exempt victims of rape and incest from the 20-week provision.
“I don’t think that you want to traumatize (a) young woman by making her carry a child that her stepfather has impregnated her with, or her father,” Thompson said.
Thompson held up a coat hanger to make the point that women may be forced to turn to unsafe abortion methods.
Last week, two states imposed new abortion restrictions.
Ohio stripped funding from Planned Parenthood and put new requirements on those performing and seeking abortions. Wisconsin passed a law requiring women seeking an abortion to undergo an ultrasound and new requirements on doctors performing abortions. A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked a portion of that law.

3 Ways to Use Purchase Orders to Get Your Business Through Supply Chain Disruption
Managing inventory well is one of the most important ways to ensure the success of your business. With supply chain disruptions happening across every industry due to the pandemic, effective inventory management is more important than ever. Purchase orders are among the most powerful tools for mastering inventory management, tracking inventory, and maintaining strong retailer-vendor relationships.
A purchase order is a legally binding document that outlines all of the details for the purchase of a large number of goods from a vendor. It includes which items the purchaser needs, how many, the cost per unit, shipping fees, and the delivery time frame and terms. Purchase orders benefit and protect all parties involved in a transaction.
Purchase orders are the foundation of solid retailer-vendor relationships because they provide detailed, clear documentation of transactions. For you as a buyer, they guarantee the agreed-upon price and delivery terms and allow your company to make workflow decisions based on what product you expect and when. For vendors, they guarantee the purchaser’s agreement to pay so they’re not assuming huge financial risk.
The supply chain disruptions of the past few years have highlighted just how important purchase orders are in inventory management for retailers. Even with supply chain delays, having a purchase order in place allows you to track inventory for items that are currently in stock and those that are yet to arrive.
Here are three ways you can strategically use purchase orders to weather supply chain disruptions and improve your company’s inventory management:
1. Market your current inventory.
Your fulfilled purchase orders serve as a detailed record of your current inventory. Use that record to identify what you currently have in stock and reallocate your budget for new inventory to market those items. This will help lessen the impact of delivery delays. Try to move what you currently have while you wait for more supply.
2. Communicate openly.
One of the benefits of purchase orders is that they provide clear documentation of what you’re expecting and when. Use purchase order information as a guide to communicate frequently and openly with your vendors about production and shipping status.
Communicate with your customers about supply chain disruptions, direct them to other products you currently have in stock that might fit their needs, or tell them you’ll follow up with them as soon as your inventory arrives. Open communication goes a long way in maintaining good retailer-vendor relationships.
3. Create a well-informed plan.
Purchase orders are the No. 1 tool for tracking inventory, and inventory tracking is essential to proper preparation. Review both open and closed purchase orders to see what you have in stock, what you’re waiting on, and what you anticipate you’ll receive based on the trends of your past orders. You can use this information to project your sales and where you have opportunities to pivot as needed.
Being strategic with purchase orders is the best way to get your business through the uncertainty of supply chain disruptions. Your company can use purchase orders for inventory management to market what you currently have in stock, communicate with your vendors and customers, and plan more accurately so you can successfully ride out disruptions now and in the future.

It is a little annoying. The "power" button only puts the unit in sleep mode. To completely power it off you have to go to your USB, WiFi, and Phone page. I forget what this is called but if you just click USB or WiFi from your Today screen you will see it. Turn the Phone to Off as well as the other connections. Then when you hit the power button the Atom is truly off
Guy in the US looking for an Atom.
I'd go eBay or wait for the HP iPaq RW6828 if you need local support.
Where are you located? If local to Shanghai I'd be happy to take that piece of crap off you r hands. Of course I need to know if you've tried the really annoying and almost impossible firmware update.
Please also send me the link for T9 and oblige. My email address is firstname.lastname@example.org.
If anyone is aware of some software to sync the SD card of O2 Atom easily please do give me.
Also if someone has a solution to use Bluetooth and yet save battery. As, if we use bluetooth headset then the battery wears of totally in 8 hours
