[. . .] Pips progress, his fall and final enlightenment, is the vehicle that allows us to see the characters in their true light and not only in terms of their appearances. In this sense the relationship that Pip has with Joe is an important indicator or moral gauge, as the reader progresses through the novel.
When Pip encounters the world of Miss Havisham his innocence, already upset by his meeting with the criminal Magwitch, is shattered. In Satis house he encounters the antithesis of the straightforward innocence and warmth of Joe Gargery and enters into a social milieu that is steeped in concepts of social hierarchy and class, status and decadent desires.
Pip's encounter with Miss Havisham causes him to reassess his own life and character, and especially his relationship with Joe. Through the eyes of Miss Havisham and Estella, Pip sees himself from the perspective of another class and his innocence is shattered. At the same time the generosity and simplicity of Joe's influence on his life is replaced by the apparent class and nobility represented by Miss Havisham. The name Hav-is-sham immediately reveals the true nature of this upper-class lady as essentially fraudulent in character. She is a disappointed women whose hatred of men is projected though her corruption of Estella, subsequently corrupting Pip's perception of life. Under Estella's well tutored gaze, Pip now sees himself in a different light and begins to be disgusted by his appearance and life style. His difference in class now becomes his obsession and causes him to deny his upbringing and relationship with Joe. Ironically Pip's desire to be a gentleman leads him away from all the values of what a true gentleman should be.
Pip blames Joe for his contemptible state, so Pip's separation from Joe begins. At this point in the novel, Dickens now carefully links Pip's new sense of shame at his social class with his guilt at being a young criminal. Estella's contempt not only makes him feel ashamed of his coarse hands, thick boots, and ignorant language; it also makes him feel that he "was in a low-lived bad way" (Glancy 64). His life at the forge thus becomes identified for him with his criminal connections, and both are totally unacceptable to Estella."
Do you know what I touch here?' she said, laying her hands, one upon the other, on her left side.
And her intent is clearly expressed when she advises her protege Estella.
Havisham would embrace her with lavish fondness, murmuring something in her ear that sounded like "Break their hearts my pride and hope, break their hearts and have no mercy!" (ibid) Pip is the victim of this vengeance and he encounters the very opposite of behavior that one would ideally expect from those of high social status. The two women combine to devastate Pip's sense of identity.
The reversal of expected relationships also extends to the city of London. Pip receives 'great expectations' from his unknown benefactor and goes off to become a gentleman in London. His expectation is that there he will find a life of genteel sophistication. In fact he finds the opposite. His life seems to become more and more associated with crime. The irony is clear. Social status and becoming a gentleman should be associated to refinement and the higher things in life. Dickens cleverly reveals the multiple ironies of appearance vs. reality. The social status of Miss Havisham's house is revealed as a sham and literality rotten and decayed, while London is steeped in decadence and crime.
In the background Pip is as yet unaware that his secret benefactor is in fact the criminal, Magwitch. In London he is taken to Mr. Jagger's criminal Law office which reflects the seamier side of London. "A 'shameful place, being all asmear with filth and fat and blood and foam' (163), which seems to stick to him. Beside the market and dominating the London landscape is Newgate Prison. Pip's attempts to separate himself from crime are futile; Wemmick even tells him, "You are one of us, as I may say" (197). (Glancy 134) central example of the theme of this paper is the shadow that Magwitch casts over events. Instead of the superior influence of status and class, we are aware that much of the motivation of events in the novel has its basis in crime and decadence. The reality of class is revealed as the opposite of its appearance. The 'truth' that is revealed in the book is that love, sincerity and compassion are much more important in assessing character. These values transcend all class distinctions.
While Magwitch is a criminal, his intentions in helping Pip - as flawed as they are - are still more laudable than many of the actions of the other characters. Pips aspirations and desires for social status are dashed when a lowly criminal is revealed as the source of his 'great expectations'. But this is also his saving grace as he awakens painfully to the realization that the truth of human relationships lies in the way people treat one another; and that class distinctions have little to do with truth in these terms. His return to Joe and his sense of sorrow and guilt leads to Pips enlightenment and redemption. In the final analysis the novel attempts to show the interconnected quality of human society and that superficial social values are never a good judge of character.

Later, Hammett claimed to have solved a case of missing gold aboard the steamship S.S. Sonoma, but as Ward tells us, “the gold was not even found by a Pinkerton.” In presenting these clarifications, Ward brings to the forefront research and documentation that might elsewhere be relegated to endnotes; sometimes he pits one authority against another in dialogue on the page.
The most interesting argument of the book is that Hammett’s years as a detective contributed not only to the plots and themes of his work, but also to his landmark style: “If anything taught Hammett to write pithily and with appreciation for the language of street characters, it was not discovering an early Hemingway story in the Transatlantic Review, but doing his scores of operative reports for the Pinkerton National Detective Agency.” Ward likens Pinkerton supervisors to editors and the submission of reports to a kind of streetwise training in the craft of writing.
Given Ward’s dedication to charting how fact fed storytelling and how imagination built on truth, the author distressingly blends the two at times. Quotes from Hammett’s fiction are used to illustrate the life and routines of a detective, just as quotes from the “Hammett-like narrator of his novel fragment Tulip “are used to paint a portrait of Hammett’s mother and of his time in a veterans hospital. Autobiographical elements infuse Hammett’s fiction, certainly, but these moves run the risk of simply conflating one with the other.
Nevertheless, the merits of Ward’s work far outweigh such missteps. As brisk and conversational as a magazine feature, The Lost Detective invites readers not just to explore Hammett’s early years in more detail and consider how those formative experiences helped shape his writing career but also to look at how the Hammett persona was created.
Art Taylor reviewed this book for The Washington Post.

Sandi Patty is the most awarded female vocalist in contemporary Christian music history. She has 40 Dove Awards, five Grammy awards, four Billboard Music Awards, three platinum records, five gold records, and eleven million units sold. She has released over 30 albums. Her music career took off when she sang her rendition of The Star Spangled Banner during the rededication of the Statue of Liberty in 1986 and has continue to grow over the past thirty years.
In addition to her successful music career, Patty has become an accomplished speaker and author. She has travelled with Women of Faith conferences since 2005. Her message is one that resonates with everyone, that freedom comes from learning how to move on, learn from your mistakes and let God use you in any circumstance. Her latest work, The Voice: Listening for God’s Voice and Finding Your Own releases from Zondervan on November 6, 2018.
In The Voice, Sandi shares deeply intimate stories of her life and the empowering spiritual truths she’s learned. She offers readers wisdom to navigate the journey from voicelessness to discovering the voice God has given you. With a poignant history of sexual abuse, infidelity, divorce and crises of self-image, Sandi lived much of her life feeling unworthy of love or value. And like so many of us, she coped by living through the voices of others, allowing other people to prescribe her identity. As she performed around the world, Sandi met others just like her, who hid wounds behind quiet smiles and struggled to live with fractured identities.
Discover your voice. Whether it is taking care of the responsibilities that come with everyday life or a past hurt, sometimes it can be difficult to be share our personal story of faith. Take time to write down your journey of faith. It can be helpful to write it down. Write what your life was like before you met God, the circumstances leading up to how you met God, and then what made you decide to give your life to Christ. Make sure to include trials or hard times that God helped you through. It could be a financial hardship, medical challenge, or something that happened within your family. Share it with a friend, small group member or ministry leader and ask them to give you feedback. If you are having trouble sharing because of a past hurt, consider meeting with a counselor or pastor to help you process that experience. God wants us to experience freedom so that we can help set others free.
Use your platform. God wants us to share our story of how we met Him with others. It could be through a one-on-one conversation or an auditorium filled with people. He has placed people all around us that need to hear about the life-changing Gospel of Christ. Set aside time this weekend to ask God to show you opportunities in your life where you can share the message that He has given you. It could be within your Bible study or a ministry that you are involved in or it could be doing an outreach with a sports team, classmates, or through your church. Pray that God would soften the hearts of the people that He wants you to share His message with. Remember that it often takes people at least seven exposures to the Gospel message for them to come to Christ. Don’t get discouraged if someone doesn’t come to faith, pray and ask the Holy Spirit to continue to work in their heart.
Encourage others. It is easy in the Christian faith to go to church, attend a Bible study, be involved in ministry and pretend that everything is “good.” If you are a pastor, small group leader, or ministry leader, be open to sharing the difficult things God has helped you endure and how your faith has grown from that experience. You might be in the midst of it and it might not be perfect. But trust God to use you. As you share and open up, it will create an atmosphere for others to be willing to share their pain, trials, and trust God. While it might be difficult at first, pray and ask God to direct your conversations.

The Japanese Government and Tepco say that they have achieved a “cold shutdown” of Fukushima nuclear reactors. Specifically, they claim that the water inside the reactors is now below the boiling point.
In reality, no one knows what’s really going on inside the reactors.
A representative of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission says it doesn’t know what’s going on inside the reactors (video at link).
Tepco now assumes that “100 percent of the fuel at Unit 1 has slumped” into the outer primary containment vessel.
Fuel rods inside one of the reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant may have completely melted and bored most of the way through a concrete floor, the reactor’s last line of defence before its steel outer casing, the plant’s operator said.
“Uncertainty involved in the analysis is significant, due to the uncertain nature of the original conditions and data used,” Tepco said in a report. It said the concrete “could have been penetrated”, but added that the fuel remained inside the reactor’s outer casing.
The complex still faces numerous concerns, triggering criticism that the announcement of “cold shutdown conditions” is based on a political decision rather than science. Nobody knows exactly where and how the melted fuel ended up in each reactor ….
We can only deduce that the “conclusion” of the crisis, rather than being based on scientific evidence, comes from placing priority on a political decision to create the impression that the crisis has been brought under control quickly.
In a news conference on Dec. 16, TEPCO President Toshio Nishizawa called the completion of the road map for bringing the crisis under control a “milestone,” but a “milestone” achieved merely by lowering one’s own targets is meaningless.
One of the goals that TEPCO initially announced for step 2 was filling the reactor containment vessels with water. However, the utility abandoned this plan after it emerged that there were holes in the containment vessels. Eventually, officials decided to delay such measures for five years or more.
The company also established a goal under step 2 of “dealing with and reducing the amount of radioactive water” on the site, but when the road map was rewritten, it was decided that there would “ongoing treatment” of contaminated water after the completion of other processes.
Tepco has admitted that the fuel is under the containment vessels, and that corium – a radioactive substance present at Fukushima – attacks concrete.
Indeed, ongoing nuclear reactions have been confirmed in a variety of ways.
Indeed, if the center of the reactors are in fact relatively “cold”, it may be because most of the hot radioactive fuel has leaked out of the containment vessels and escaped into areas where it can do damage to the environment.

When it comes to kids in sports, specialization has become the trend. But to what end? Senators strength coach Chris Schwarz says the focus on year-round hockey has led to elite prospects who lack basic athletic skills that used to be learned on the playground. A leading health expert says there is one thing worse than early sport specialization — no play at all by sedentary youth. The first in a four-part series by the Citizen’s Wayne Scanlan starts today.
Hockey players who didn’t learn to evade danger on the playground or football field, lack sporting instincts when a player is skating at them.
Hockey players lift fewer weights than they did, part of the game’s evolution toward speed and skill and away from brawn. For 10 years, Schwarz has been saying that hockey players would soon look less like football players and more like tennis players. That day is here. We present Senators forward Derick Brassard as Roger Federer. In the Senators strength room, Schwarz oversees unusual competitions beyond the weightlifting apparatus, often involving darts and simulated bowling.
“I spend time playing games that look nothing like regular games,” Schwarz says. “A deadpool challenge. They’re bowling on the turf to numbers, and if they hit the numbers they get extra points. It can be fun.
Speaking at a conference in Denver a few years ago, Schwarz delivered a zinger that still gets talked about in NCAA circles when the discussion of spontaneous reaction surfaces.
Tomorrow: Part II — On the temptation and risk of sport specialization.
Are kids over-specialized in sports?

After taking last weekend off to stay home and relax a little, this weekend Diane and I headed deep into the Black Ridge Canyons Wilderness on an overnight backpacking trip into Knowles Canyon. We were in search of a few rock art sites thought to be hidden in the canyon, but unfortunately we would come up empty handed locating any of those on this trip. Instead, we would find a beautiful canyon with plenty of solitude only 20 miles from home. It’s nice to know that this kind of solitude can easily be found such a short distance from our home. Here are a few photos from the weekend.

Power Conditioners for Grid-connection of Photovoltaic Generation Systems with Power Quality Monitoring.
Financed by: Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia inside the Plan Nacional de I+D 2004-2007.
Summary: The photovoltaic (PV) generation systems are nowadays an alternative-viable energy source, being one base of the distributed generation development. However, it has as drawback that the inverters used in the interconnection system does not operate correctly, injecting harmonics currents in the point of common coupling (PCC) that could be dangerous for others consumers connected at the same point. This could cause harming, isolate defects and operation faults in the measurement, control and protection systems. In this way, it is interesting to design and develop a power conditioner with a double function:- On the one hand, it will be used as interface with the grid to inject the active power supplied by the photovoltaic arrays. This power will be fed as fundamental and positive sequence active power. That means the current injected into the grid will be in phase with the fundamental positive sequence voltage at the PCC. A sophisticated synchronisation system with distortion, unbalance and frequency variation voltage immunity will be necessary. The active power will be transmitted guaranteeing the Maximum-Power-Point-Tracking (MPPT) in order to maximise the energy extracted from the PV cells.- On the other hand, the power conditioner will reduce the harmonics current demanded by the load connected at the PCC, correct displacement power factor correction, and compensate unbalance.
Control systems for active power line conditioners.
Financed by: Vicerrectorado de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación. Universidad de Extremadura inside the II Plan de Iniciación, Desarrollo e Innovación (Acción I: Iniciación)..
Power meter according to the Standard IEEE 1459 for power systems with harmonic distortion and unbalance.
Financed by: Vicerrectorado de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación. Universidad de Extremadura inside the I Plan de Iniciación, Desarrollo e Innovación (Acción VII).
Summary: Power definitions, beneficiations and penalties for billing electrical energy charges and the measurements offered by the actual energy meters are only acceptable in case of ideal mains. However, the increase of non-linear loads connected to the utility has caused the appearance of disturbances which get the source voltage to be far away from the ideal conditions.
This project proposes the performance of a power quality meter able to operate suitably in non-ideal electrical power systems with harmonic distortion and/or unbalance. The most relevant in the new meter is that it will operate according to the Standard IEEE 1459, which is now in trial-use state, but it is hoped to become the reference for the measurement and invoicing of the electrical energy in the future. The equipment will allow separating the terms proposed in the new definitions for power in non-sinusoidal regimen and calculating the new pollution ratios and merit figures, showing the results in real time.
Present criteria for beneficiating or penalizing the electrical consumption will be analyzed and new criteria will set out to consider the reactive energy demand (not only inductive type, but also capacitive one), imbalance and distortion in the demanded current.
Power conditioner with hybrid topologies (active and passive filters) for the improvement of the electrical supply quality.
Financed by: Consejería de Educación, Ciencia y Tecnología de la Junta de Extremadura inside the II Plan Regional de Investigación, Desarrollo Tecnológico e Innovación de Extremadura.
Summary: The purpose of this project is to developer power conditioners equipment basis on new topologies by means of association of several current active filters in combination with passive filters, in which each of them are entrusted on the reduction or elimination of perturbations in a determinate range of frequencies. The study must conduce to the optimization of the components, decreasing weight, volume and losses. Several control strategies that improve the general characteristics of the equipment will be developed, applying for that the most recent process systems. This will allow giving to the equipment the necessary flexibility to adapt their working characteristics depending on a rule about perturbations that is expecting to change, because of it has to include a redefinition of the power and energy terms to invoice by the supply companies. In this sense it will be necessary to study in depth the measure procedures.
The equipment will be placed in the output of the distribution transformers or in the connection of the receiving installation, to avoid the perturbations caused by the users to affect the distribution system.
As well as improving the supply quality in the receiving installation, This equipment will be able to supply a fraction of the load, which is called as critical load, during one second (because of the most of the supply interruptions in the distribution network are less than this time length).

By Amy Norton NEW YORK | Tue Dec 28, 2010 | (Reuters Health) – All infant formulas may not be equal when it comes to babies’ weight gain over their first months of life, a new study finds. In a study that followed 56 formula-fed infants, researchers found that babies on hypoallergenic formula stayed close to the “normal” weight-gain pattern seen among breastfed infants, while those on standard formula packed on pounds more quickly.
Seven steps for making your New Year’s resolutions stick Maybe you plan to ring in 2011 with a new resolve to quit smoking, lose weight, exercise more, not sweat the small stuff. And maybe these resolutions sound familiar — maybe just like the ones you made a year ago!
By Ditta M. Oliker, Ph.D. Dec 27 2010 – 5:27pm – It’s easy to lose yourself in the whirlwind of the holidays. Getting caught in the pressure of so much to do and so little time is common, particularly as each year seems to rush by even more quickly than the last one. The celebration of a new year is also a time for reflection, renewal and resolutions, so take a moment to ask yourself if, putting the holidays aside, you consistently feel that you lose yourself in the whirlwinds and/or chaos of the lives of others.
By Suzanne Koven, M.D. New Year’s Resolutions, like bridesmaids’ dresses, fruitcake, and mothers-in-law, get a bad rap. Okay, they often don’t work out (though, come to think of it, I adored my mother-in-law and she made a dynamite fruitcake) but sometimes they do.
By Marc Muchnick, Ph.D. Created Dec 27 2010 – 9:40am Are regrets weighing you down? As we move into the new year, it’s the perfect time to shed some of the psychological baggage we’ve been accumulating and carrying around with us. Here are three common regrets that are well worth getting rid of: Regret #1: Getting caught up in the rat race.
They’re Not Good for Your Health By Howard S. Friedman, Ph.D. At this time of year, we naturally think back over the past twelve months and look ahead towards the future. Looking back at times gone by (auld lang syne) can be a good thing, especially if we focus on the stuff we’ve accomplished and the adventures we’ve had with friends or family. The most modern research confirms the wisdom of the ages that reflecting on our accomplishments and giving thanks for our good fortune is healthy. But what about looking forward?
For many wqmen coping with obesity and depression, new research finds that improving your mood might be the link to losing weight. The new study, which appears in the November/December issue of the journal General Hospital Psychiatry, cites past surveys that show having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more — classified as obese — increases a person’s risk of depression by 50 percent to 150 percent.

A Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll conducted last week showed that 35 percent of registered voters nationwide had never heard of Michael Bloomberg.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg can become the next president of the United States.
I know this, because the Constitution tells me so. Bloomberg is a "natural born Citizen," has "attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
But after that, I think his campaign is in trouble.
We do not know if Bloomberg actually will run for president in 2008 -- he has repeatedly said he will not -- but the possibility of his doing so has attracted an inordinate amount of attention.
I once worked for Bloomberg News, which is owned by Bloomberg, and had one off-the-record group dinner with him. He was funny, charming, bright and personable. But I think he might need a little bit more than that in order to become president.
Like a reason for people to vote for him. And a way of winning.
Bloomberg would have to win the presidency on his own merits. His chief merit, his chief selling point, would be his competence. He can get things done around the nation, he will tell voters, as he has gotten things done in New York.
Which is also Rudy Giuliani's chief selling point.
And, now that you mention it, Hillary Clinton also stresses competence and experience, as does John McCain, as does Mitt Romney, as do several other candidates.
Nor, outside of New York City, is Bloomberg the household name you might think he is. A Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll conducted last week showed that 35 percent of registered voters nationwide had never heard of him. Only 23 percent had a favorable view, while 14 percent had an unfavorable view and 27 percent were unsure.
Those figures aren't awful, but they don't show a nation panting for Bloomberg's entry into an already crowded field.
So how does he win? Money, his supporters say. He's got oodles of money, maybe around $5 billion or so. And he could spend a billion dollars of his own money on a presidential race.
There are two problems with this, however.
First, when voters give you money, they often protect their investment by voting for you. When you finance your own campaign, you don't build that base of support.
The second problem is not pleasant to talk about. So let us begin by quoting Bloomberg, who has asked: "How can a 5-foot-7, divorced, billionaire Jew running as an independent from New York possibly have a chance?"
The divorce thing is no real barrier, and the height thing I will deal with later. It is the "billionaire Jew" thing that might come into play if he tries to self-finance the race, as in "Does that Jew really think he can buy the American presidency?"
Don't think that will come up? No? What country are you living in?
I do not suggest anti-Semitism should keep Bloomberg from running for president. I do suggest that as with Romney's religion, Barack Obama's race and Hillary Rodham Clinton's gender, Bloomberg's religion (in a nation that has never elected a Jew to the presidency) is a mountain for him to climb.
And there are other mountains.

Bhubaneswar: Appealing the people of Odisha to be aware of their responsibilities along with their rights under democratic set up, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today said development of rural and urban areas is essential to achieve an inclusive growth.
"Development of poor, youth, women, Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled castes, student and differently-abled persons are required for an inclusive growth," said Patnaik after unfurling the National Flag here at the state level parade.
Stating that Odisha has around 50,000 villages and 100 towns where development work is important, Patnaik said improvement in infrastructure in rural areas will give a boost to agriculture and allied sectors.
The Chief Minister, who refrained from speaking on the achievements of his government in view of the model code of conduct implemented for the ensuing urban polls, said "Independence is all about responsibility and commitment. Our goal should be to make India stronger and Odisha prosperous."
Recalling contribution of Odia martyrs in the freedom struggle, the Chief Minister said the first voice of revolt against the British Raj was raised from the soil of Odisha in 1817. "The British Rule could not be established in Odisha till 1803," he lamented.
While the Independence Day celebrations in Odisha's major towns and cities were observed amidst tight security, the red rebels took liberty to unfurl Black Flags in certain left wing extremist (LEW) infested districts including Malkangiri.
The rebels reportedly unfurled black flags at Pansaput village under Chitrakonda black of Malkangiri while Maoist ultras hoisted black flag near a college at Kalimela town in the district. "The police immediately removed the black flag hoisted at Kalimela," a senior police officer said.
Similarly, reports of black flag being flown in other districts were also received, sources said, adding that the Maoists had given a call to boycott Independence Day celebration in the state.
Adequate security arrangements have been made in all the sensitive and border districts besides major towns, said Director General of Police Prakash Mishra.

There will be bumps in every road that you travel, you choose how far those bumps throw you off course though. I allowed a lot of things to throw me off course over the years. Thoughts of who I "should" be, people who I allowed to influence me too much, and fear have all been reasons I veered off course. The fact is that life would be so much easier if a map was provided. There's an investment company commercial on television that shows how they lay a path for their customers by showing a line on the road when they leave their offices that leads them in the right direction. If only everything in life was that simple! We don't have a map though, and there is no path laid for us to follow. We have to make our own path, and often that path isn't easy.
I recently had a friend call me upset over a choice she had to make. She is having to move back home with her parents for various reasons, and she really doesn't want to. I know all too well how she is feeling. I thought that when I left Bloomington I would only be home for a short period of time before I would be off on a new adventure. I was unfortunately home for a lot longer than anyone expected thanks to a broken hand, holidays, lack of job, and lack of money. I'm now in Colorado though, where I thought my path was the whole time. I know my friend will find her way, and eventually back on that path she wants to be on. Sometime we hit a bump though. For me breaking my hand was a big bump that knocked me off course for a good two months in more than just my living situation.
If anyone has ever been injured in a car accident before you know what I'm talking about. Your full time job becomes middle man between doctors and insurance companies. Just to remind everyone my accident happened in September of last year, yesterday I got the letter from my insurance company that the last bill had been settled! Between dealing with that, not being able to physically type so emails to prospective employers were out, depression over the situation, and not being able to exercise I felt like I was hitting one bump after another. There was about a two week period I couldn't see my way out. I allowed depression to take over, and feel sorry for myself. I resigned myself to life in a place that no longer felt like home, job prospects that I hated, an unhealthy lifestyle, and living with my parents for the rest of my life. I allowed this bump to not only throw me off course, but I allowed it to take over my dreams and take control. Looking back now I see that, but at the time I saw no other way. It didn't seem like a bump, it seemed like a new path I had no choice but to take.
Bumps are often unavoidable, lets face it, as much as we try to miss them, sometimes we can't. What I call bumps, others I've known have called curveballs, Gods way of throwing us off occasionally and reminding us whose in charge. One of the best ways I've heard someone describe how to handle these situations though went like this, "When God throws a curveball, don't duck. You just might miss something." Although being home for so long was sometimes painful, I decided to not duck. That meant that I got to spend extra time with my friends, reconnect with old friends I hadn't seen in a while, got to spend time in a job with kids I loved, and learned some new things about myself. All rather cool things, that I know had a bigger purpose.
Although we may not always understand why we have to endure the bumps in the road, or the curveballs, they are there for a reason. Maybe in the big picture I needed to work where I did in those few months with the kids I did, maybe they needed me. Maybe I needed to slow down and think about how I was going to come to Colorado. Or maybe I was just supposed to reconnect with one of those friends and reminisce about the "old days". I may never know, but what I do know is although my path was altered, I never lost sight of coming here. I never lost sight of my goal, my dream. The road's still not easy, I'm still struggling, and most likely will for a while longer. My mother asked me though the other day when I spoke to her and was frustrated, "are you happier?" It's a simple question that in the past I tried to make so much more complicated than it really is. There was no hesitation from me though in my answer, I'm absolutely happy being here. "Then you're a step closer than you were a few months ago." Like I've said for a while now, baby steps.
~ Finally have movers to bring my stuff from storage in Indiana to me in Colorado!!! This has been a BIG hassle, and camping in the new apartment has been a bear! Only two more weeks though!!!! YAY!!!!
~ Still don't have a job yet. I'm applying for professional jobs, part-time jobs, seasonal jobs, ANYTHING! I think not having a job right now though may be good and give me a bit to unpack when my stuff arrives, but I'll need the income soon as my savings is beginning to deplete.
~ I've connected with some sorority sisters in the area through Facebook! This makes my mother ecstatic since I'm fairly sure she thinks I sit alone talking to the walls all day, lol. Hopefully I'll be able to meet up with some of them in person soon and begin making friends here!
~ Now that I've become acclimated to the altitude a bit I've begun running again...slowly. Thought I'd go to the gym at my apartment complex but their equipment is less than adequate (read old) so eventually I'm going to get a gym membership somewhere since my knees can't handle pavement all the time (again read old, lol). Right now though it's running every couple of days, I might include swimming here soon, and yoga occasionally.

With a number of last minute dropouts, long standing injuries and early season rustiness, Newbury AC could be forgiven for expecting a tough time in their first SAL match of the season at Walton-on-Thames on Saturday. However, a fantastic team effort by all those in attendance pushed the club into second place on the day with 178.5 points; behind Croydon Harriers (209pts) but ahead of the host club Walton AC (162.5pts) and Hillingdon AC (152pts).
Helen Broadbridge was the standout athlete on the day, comfortably winning all three heavy throws – the highlight being a 50.22m throw in the hammer, over 12m clear of her nearest competitor.
The endurance running section of the club racked up some strong points scores. Both Yaz Ryder in the 3000m and Mike Robbins in the 2000m steeplechase took the lead on the first lap and never looked back, gradually pulling away from the field to take comfortable victories. Dan Tuttle sat patiently in the pack in the men’s 1500m, kicking on the final lap to take the lead and narrowly held off a charge from the Walton athletes to take the win. Rebecca Downie continues to improve in the steeplechase, showing good technique over the barriers to record her first ever A string win.
Newbury scored maximum points in the 100m hurdles, with Lilly Gohara just missing out on a PB, taking the win in 18.6swhile Bo Stewart overcame a difficult race to follow up with the B sting victory. A similar success was seen in the women’s pole vault, where Jenny O’Connor was joined by her daughter Scarlett – attempting pole vault for the first time with great success for another double win. There was a similar story in the men’s equivalent, with Reuben Langdon unfazed by inexperience to clear 2.30m for second B.
Mark Lane was a welcome debutant to the club, keen to fill in wherever necessary and showed his full range, all the way from the 100m to the 2000m steeplechase. The latter was his best result, taking the B string win. Maisie Jeger made her long awaited promotion to the senior team and amongst other events was a big part of the 4x400m relay team who tooksecond place, running a stunning 62.3s second leg.
There were further comfortable B string wins for Bob Broadbridge in the shot put and Emma Downie in the 800m. Despite throwing an impressive 54.94m in the hammer, Oliver Hewitt had to settle for second in the A string on this occasion – a position he matched in the shot put. There were also second places for Phil Marshall in the B string 5000m, finishing agonisingly close to breaking the 17 minute barrier, and Ben Wickens in the B string triple jump, scoring well on his debut in the discipline.
This was a fantastic team effort, where every athlete in the team did everything they could to help out, and everyone should feel proud of the result. As well as the above, Hugh Beattie, James Craggs, Wayne Lillis, Ryan Hill, Amber White, Catherine Tuttle, Caroline Tuttle and Ros Pearson all added much needed points to the total, while Ellis Russell and Andy McKendrick were thrown in at the deep end for their senior track debuts, and coped admirably. We look forward to building on this result at the next match – our home fixture in Andover on 19th May.

Around the Roma Holocaust Memorial Day on 2 August 2018, about 250 young Roma and non-Roma will gather from across Europe in Krakow and Auschwitz-Birkenau in the unique youth event “Dikh he na bister” (Look and don’t forget).
The Roma Genocide Remembrance Initiative aims at raising awareness among young Europeans, civil society and decision-makers about the Roma Genocide, as well as about the mechanisms of anti-gypsyism in a challenging context of rising racism, hate speech and extremism in Europe. With this initiative Roma youth advocates for the official recognition of 2 August as the Roma Holocaust Memorial Day to pay homage to the victims, heroes, survivors, and strengthen the identity based on the deep knowledge of the past.
TernYpe aims to empower young Roma to have a voice to become key agents of change, and to foster solidarity among young people! We have a strong vision to make a change in Europe. Young Roma and non-Roma believe that we can build a European culture based on respect, dialogue, human rights and equal opportunities. ‘Dikh He Na Bister’ strongly follows it’s mission to create space for young people to become active citizens through empowerment, mobilisation, self-organisation and participation.

For the production of this Gran Reserva of Montecristo, the best tobacco leaves were selected from Vuelta Abajo region, Cuba, harvested in 2005. All the leaves that make a Habano, filler, wrapper and binder, were aged during a long and careful process of at least 5 years. The emblematic Montecristo No. 2 vitola has been the one chosen for this unique production that makes the Gran Reserva of Montecristo.
Presentation: 5.000 Exclusive Cases individually numbered with 15 units each.
The 520th Anniversary case is a special gift whereby Habanos, S.A. and the XIV Habanos Festival commemorate the 520th anniversary of tobacco's arrival in the Old World.
This is a limited and unique production designed for those who attend the Festival since it'll only be on sale during the weeklong celebration until end of stocks. There'll be limited quantities of only 1,000 of those cases.
The case contains ten H. Upmann Robustos, a Habano vitola that's currently out of stock in the brand's portfolio.
Through this attractive presentation, H. Upmann recovers the historical tradition of Habanos to produce metal cases. This Half Corona case can easily be transported and protects your Half Coronas properly. H.Upmann Half Corona is an invitation to a short smoke of a pleasant blend that is ideal for those who initiate themselves in the extraordinary world of the Habano.
H. Upmann Robustos is the selected size for this Edición Limitada. The Robustos size does not exist in the permanent range of H. Upmann, but it had a great acceptance when launched in an exclusive Travel humidor at Cannes Fair in 2008. The Robustos size is highly appreciated by Habanos smokers. They will now have the occasion to enjoy it within the H. Upmann brand with the special blend and features of flavour and aroma of the Edición Limitada.
This is a "Unique Edition" that compiles the 10 Habanos that composed each one of the previous releases. Only 1000 numbered units were made and will be distributed exclusively in the franchise network "La Casa del Habano" worldwide.
This impressive Bolívar vitola's blend is a faithful expression of the Habanos preferred by those connoisseurs who like intense flavors.
For the Volume VIII of the Colección Habanos 2008 the vitola Sublimes Extra from Cohiba was selected to honor its name. Its beauty is supported by these exceptional dimensions, as well as the balance of its unique blend. Because of the exceptional acceptance had in the different markets, the production of this Colección was extended for the first time to 1,000 numbered units.
Salomones de Cuaba was the vitola selected for making up the first Volume of the Colección Habanos in 2001, of which only 300 units were made. It is a majestic "double-figurado" Habano.
Mágnum Especial was the vitola selected for making up Volume VII of the Colección Habanos 2007 of which only 500 numbered units were made. It is a format containing the essential characteristics of the H. Upmann brand.
The selected vitola, being of straight format with the classic "pig tail", stands out for maintaining theclassic medium flavor of the Habanos that make up this brand aroma.
This majestic Montecristo vitola, probably Habanos'best-known brand, became part of the Colección Habanos. With this Volume V of the Colección, of which only 500 numbered units were made, we celebrated the70th anniversary of the brand in 2005.
This is a true exponent of the best characteristics of the Hoyo de Monterrey blend, created to satisfy the most demanding smokers who prefer the Habanos of elegant flavor and taste.
In 2002, the Volume II of the Colección Habanos, of which only 300 units were made, was dedicated to the Partagás brand, particularly to its "Series" renowned and admired all over the world.
"Fabulosos No 6" is a vitola that was especially made for the Volume III of the Colección Habanos 2004, of which only 500 numbered units were made.
O'Reilly is the vitola that gave prestige to the Volume IX of the Colección Habanos 2009 of which 1000 numbered units were made. This format paid tribute to one of the streets of La Habana Vieja (Old Havana) and to the 10thanniversary of the creation of San Cristóbal de la Habana brand.
It's appropriate time to make some plans for the future and it's time to be happy. I have read this post and if I could I wish to suggest you some interesting things or suggestions. Perhaps you could write next articles referring to this article. I wish to read even more things about it!

Abstract: Pancreatic cancer remains as one of the most deadly cancers, and responds poorly to current therapies. The prognosis is extremely poor, with a 5-year survival of less than 5%. Therefore, search for new effective therapeutic drugs is of pivotal need and urgency to improve treatment of this incurable malignancy. Synthetic alkyl-lysophospholipid analogs (ALPs) constitute a heterogeneous group of unnatural lipids that promote apoptosis in a wide variety of tumor cells. In this study, we found that the anticancer drug edelfosine was the most potent ALP in killing human pancreatic cancer cells, targeting endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Edelfosine was taken up in significant amounts by pancreatic cancer cells and induced caspase- and mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis. Pancreatic cancer cells show a prominent ER and edelfosine accumulated in this subcellular structure, inducing a potent ER stress response, with caspase-4, BAP31 and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) activation, CHOP/GADD153 upregulation and phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 α-subunit that eventually led to cell death. Oral administration of edelfosine in xenograft mouse models of pancreatic cancer induced a significant regression in tumor growth and an increase in apoptotic index, as assessed by TUNEL assay and caspase-3 activation in the tumor sections. The ER stress-associated marker CHOP/GADD153 was visualized in the pancreatic tumor isolated from edelfosine-treated mice, indicating a strong in vivo ER stress response. These results suggest that edelfosine exerts its pro-apoptotic action in pancreatic cancer cells, both in vitro and in vivo, through its accumulation in the ER, which leads to ER stress and apoptosis. Thus, we propose that the ER could be a key target in pancreatic cancer, and edelfosine may constitute a prototype for the development of a new class of antitumor drugs targeting the ER.

A plan to dispose of several publicly owned buildings in East Renfrewshire have been revealed.
The council wants to get rid of some of its largest properties following workforce cuts, technological changes and the creation of new buildings.
And it has identified Lygates, the Dickie Building, Capelrig House, the McGuire Building, and the former Clarkston Social Work Office as being surplus to requirements.
Local authority chiefs also want to dispose of the Barrhead Burgh Town Hall on Lowndes Street, which is a community use facility, and plan to rip up a lease agreement for an environmental health building in Thornliebank.
Andrew Cahill, the council’s director of environment, said: “East Renfrewshire Council has an accommodation portfolio, for both office and non-office buildings, that it has acquired over a substantial period of time.
“Some of this accommodation is owned by East Renfrewshire Council and some is rented.
“The need for and usage of accommodation has changed substantially since much of this portfolio was acquired. As a consequence, some of the council’s buildings at this point in time are now surplus to requirements.
Mr Cahill confirmed that the listed Capelrig House building, which is at Eastwood High School, is not needed by the council and despite talks with the Scouts and the Cadets, there has been no agreement reached for a purchase or a lease.
A voluntary organisation has presented a business case to take over the James McGuire Building in Barrhead and a final sign-off is expected next year.
Police Scotland had previously indicated an interest in developing the former Barrhead Burgh Town Hall as part of a revamp of the Barrhead Police Station site. But negotiations on that have stalled.
The council may also find it difficult to offload the former Barrhead Burgh Town Hall building as it was gifted to the authority for the benefit of the community. As a result, it has ‘common good’ status and can’t be sold or demolished without an application to the Court of Session to remove that status.
The Dickie Building has been marketed since December 2016 and despite several bids to take over the site, all have fallen below the council’s valuation.
Council chiefs have been in negotiations with the NHS over the possible sale of the former Clarkston Social Work Office. The NHS does own an adjacent building and may choose to rent the council-owned property. Another option on the table could be to sell the publicly-owned site to a housing developer.
In Newton Mearns, the council has been attempting to offload the Lygates building for three years but despite interest, there has been no success.
And at the Spiersbridge Building, in Thornliebank, the council has been leasing the building for its environmental health department since 2007. That lease expires in 2026 and the council may choose to try and negotiate and early termination.
Members of the audit and scrutiny committee last week noted the report and a further update on negotiations for each of the buildings will go in front of councillors next year.

Sneha Ullal, the Aishwarya Rai look-alike was supposed to be Simbu's heroine in Vaanam.
But at the last minute she dropped out due to certain problems. She has been replaced by a Delhi model Jasmine.
The buzz is that Sneha had shot two days with Simbu for the film during the Hyderabad schedule, but dropped out.
Director Krish has now re-shot those scenes with Jasmine. Anyway Krish could rap up the shoot with Jasmine in four days as she is appearing in only a few scenes.
Vaanam is now almost complete and should be releasing on April 8 worldwide.

Designing the COVENTRY Collections of chairs I’ve been searching for something new not in field of shape only. Watching the human behaviour in public spaces, cafes and restaurants I tried to find a smart solution for some of customer’s behaviour scenarios and for certain restaurateurs needs.
Sometimes people come up with unusual functions for the usual pieces of furniture or just use this furniture in unusual way. For example, they turn the chairs backwards or combine several chairs to group.
On the other hand restaurateurs wants to be ready for such spontaneous furniture moving. They looking for the modular furniture or furniture that has a combinatorial potential as a part of design.
In this case designer’s unusual ergonomic solution can provide additional opportunities for such user interpretations. This way to create a new user experience for all categories of users.
One of such smart solutions was an armstool that is fully replicate an ergonomic proportions of the armchair in its collection except the backrest. The similar seating design has a COVENTRY bar stool as well.
The COVENTRY collection consists of three items which are the compromise between conservatism of contract furniture and a modern coziness of home furniture. You can choose any colour of cushion. Combination of wooden frame and upholstered seats called up to make both your private home space and public space of cafes more comfortable.

South Korea has confirmed another case of the Zika virus infection, raising the number of people infected with the virus here to 19, health authorities said Thursday. A 55-year-old Korean man was confirmed to have been infected with the mosquito-borne virus after visiting Bolivia, according to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
He is presumed to have been bitten by a mosquito during his stay in the South American nation earlier this month, the authorities said.
The man, whose identity has been withheld, received treatment at a hospital in Goyang, just west of Seoul. He is currently healthy, KCDC officials said.
The KCDC said it is conducting an epidemiological investigation into another person who had traveled with the man.
The KCDC advises pregnant women and their partners who are worried about potential exposure to consider avoiding travel to such areas. Those who have traveled to affected regions in the past two months are advised to avoid any sexual contact or wear condoms if their partner is pregnant.
The virus, first discovered in Africa, is not life-threatening but may be linked to thousands of birth defects in newborn babies like abnormally small heads and improperly developed brains.

Individuals who suffer from arthritis can gain some relief by having a well-balanced diet. Although there is no food that can cure arthritis, some dietary modifications such as those listed below can lessen joint pain and improve a sufferer’s quality of life.
Anti-Oxidants which can help prevent inflammation.
Having too much weight can put excess pressure on hip, ankle and knee joints. A healthy eating lifestyle combined with low resistance exercise; such as swimming, walking and stationary cycling can assist a patient in getting to a healthy weight range.
Commonly found in oily fish, (EPA & DHA) and in canola oil, green leafy vegetables and flaxseed (ALA); studies have found that a high intake of omega-3 fats can have a calming effect on arthritis, specifically rheumatoid arthritis. Omega-3 fats also have the added benefit of reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
The easiest way to obtain omega-3 is by eating at least 3 fish meals a week or through a high-strength, pure fish oil supplement.
Cider vinegar; Nightshade vegetables: potatoes, capsicum, eggplant and tomatoes and Acid producing foods: oranges, lemons and tomatoes have not been scientifically proven to worse arthritis symptoms and should therefore not be avoided.
Glucosamine helps to regenerate cartilage and lubricate joints. It is extracted from the shells of prawns and shellfish and according to Arthritis Australia can be beneficial for sufferers.

How to diagnose Coeliac Disease?
Almost 1 in 100 Australians are affected by coeliac disease. However, 160,000 Australians have not been correctly diagnosed. If left untreated or misdiagnosed Coeliac Disease can lead to osteoporosis, iron deficiency, infertility, depression, liver disease, miscarriages, some cancers and autoimmune diseases.
Coeliac Disease can affect people in various ways with some experiencing more severe symptoms than others. Patients who have coeliac disease commonly experience weight loss, anaemia, diarrhoea, constipation, bloating, abdominal pain and lethargy.
If a patient has not consumed gluten for some time it is important to have them complete a ‘gluten challenge” 6 weeks prior to being tested. The gluten challenge must include four slices of wheat based bread or an equivalent food each day.
A coeliac serology blood test measures the antibody levels in an individual who has untreated coeliac disease. i.e. they must completed the gluten challenge and be still consuming gluten at the time of the blood test.
Blood tests are not always accurate and therefore should never be used as a definitive diagnosis for the disease. If the serology is positive, the patient MUST continue consuming gluten and have a small bowel biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. The serology is just a screening test!
The patient must continue to consume the equivalent of 4 slices of gluten containing bread until the small bowel biopsy has been completed.
Gene testing can be used when the diagnosis of coeliac disease is not conclusive from the results of a blood test or bowel biopsy. This can be caused by the patient not consuming any or the correct amount of gluten for a serology or bowel biopsy.
What can a Simply Nutrition Dietitian do for a patient with coeliac disease?
Great video to watch discussing the effects of the fad diets flooding society and people's eating behaviours. Let's focus on eating for health and enjoyment and stop feeling guilty....who's with us?

There has been a lot of media coverage re: the Paleo Diet of late which has meant a larger number of individuals are starting to follow it in attempt to improve their health. Unfortunately we have seen a handful of people in the last 2 months who have been following this diet and have had some adverse effects from it. Namely higher cholesterol results when previous readings were in the normal range prior to the diet, headaches and fatigue.
The Paleo diet is based on the diet of our Palaeolithic ancestors and focuses on only consuming foods that our ancestors consumed during this time. The diet is high in protein and fat and lower in carbohydrate– it allows people to consume fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, meat, poultry, seafood and eggs, while excluding dairy, grains, alcohol, processed foods, refined sugar, potatoes and salt. The modern Paleo diet also promotes the use of coconut oil and butter, while recommending legumes be avoided. During this period, food choices also depended on availability which supports that the diet altered between region and season, and revealing there was no one specific Paleo diet.
It is not recommended that individuals follow the Paleo diet as the exclusion of grains and dairy foods places people at risk of nutrient deficiencies and at risk of chronic diseases such as osteoporosis. By encouraging people to use saturated fats such as butter and coconut oil, the diet also places followers at an increased risk of heart disease. It is great that the diet encourages more fruits and vegetables and some unsaturated fats such as avocado and nuts and encourages the avoidance of processed and refined discretionary foods. The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating also recommends this. Followers of this diet claim that our current dietary guidelines are causing us to be overweight however the recent Australian Health Survey indicates Australian’s are eating less fruits and vegetables and greater than a third of our daily dietary calories come from foods high in saturated fat and refined sugars.
In addition, research also suggests that grains were consumed at some stage during the Palaeolithic era despite the diet encouraging avoidance of them. Research has demonstrated the benefits of wholegrains for managing weight and also for the digestive tract. Research also discussed the importance of dairy for bone health.
Anthropologists know that there was not one Paleolithic diet and evidence exists that shows that during this period of time humans consumed both grains and legumes.
The Paleo diet is not recommended as a diet low in carbohydrates, high in fat and high in protein is not supported by the extensive body of research.
The Paleo diet limits legumes which are rich in fibre and protein, dairy which is rich in calcium and grains which are high in fibre, carbohydrates, Grains have been found to be associated with a lower BMI and waist circumference.
Coconut oil is high in saturated fat and calories and research recommends this oil not be included regularly in the diet due to the risk of heart disease. Interestingly humans in Paleolithic times would not have consumed coconut oil as they had no means of extracting and refining it!
Only 5.5% of Australian adults consume the recommended serves of fruit and vegetables every day.
We hope this helps with your knowledge and if you need further advice Simply Nutrition Dietitians are able to help with understanding the risks of following the Paleo diet, and provide healthy, balanced nutritional recommendations instead.

Coconut Oil – Myths & The Facts!
Coconut oil is an edible oil extracted from the kernel (meat) of matured coconuts harvested from the coconut palm. Coconut oil is made up of both saturated fat (bad fats) as well as medium chain triglycerides. By consuming large amounts of saturated fat, this can put your body at risk of clogged arteries or a heart attack. In today’s society, coconut oil has become a very hot topic, however a lot of the information provided is not evidence based and is very misleading. Here are some myth busters for coconut oil!
Remember : We are always skeptical when buying a vehicle from a used car salesman or a house from a real estate agent! Why not take the same approach when buying and consuming food. There’s a lot of false and misleading information out there from the people that market and sell these products.
Coconut oil has really positive health benefits. Lots of celebrities use it so it must be good.
Currently, there is no literature to show any benefits for using coconut oil. Although coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids (which are thought to have some clinical benefits), these are different to regular medium chain fatty acids and have no benefit due to their different make-up. 90% of coconut oil is saturated fat which will raise cholesterol levels, therefore making it unhealthy.
There is so much information on the internet saying coconut oil is healthy, therefore this must be right.
Despite there being a large amount of information on the internet regarding benefits of coconut oil, it is important to understand that these sources are not high quality or evidenced based (meaning that studies have been used to show this evidence). As explained by Nicole Senior, an Accredited Practising Dietitian, when typing coconut oil into Google, the first 10 results were for selling coconut oil, books on coconut oil or coconut oil diets – VERY biased sites and information purely for money making!
Coconut oil is very high in saturated fat and therefore is not recommended as an oil to be used regularly. To lower cholesterol levels, it has been found that polyunsaturated oils will produce the greatest reduction. These include olive, peanut and canola oil, as well as others.
Coconut oil is a healthier alternative than natural butter.
Although coconut oil is slightly better for you than butter as it uses different oils, it is still seen to increase bad (LDL) cholesterol levels. There is only a very small difference between butter and coconut oil.
A high intake of coconut oil can prevent heart disease.
Once again, there is no evidence to suggest that this is true. When looking at the facts, coconut oil increases your level of cholesterol, meaning that it may actually increase your risk of heart disease rather than decrease it. It has been found that populations with a high intake of coconut oil also have very high rates of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Coconut oil can help me lose weight.
Although coconut oil has been found to be broken down to be used for energy by your body rather than stored as fat, it is important to remember that it is 100% pure fat. Nobody is going to recommend eating large amounts of fat to anyone trying to lose weight.
Therefore, from this, it is evident that the negatives of coconut oil greatly outweigh any possible benefits. It is important to keep in mind, coconut oil is an important cash crop for India, the Philippines and Indonesia and unfortunately, in today’s society, wealth is often placed before health. Any information, from any human being can be presented on the Internet, however it is important to make sure it is quality evidence and from a reliable source. If you are unsure, always speak to your Dietitian or Doctor before commencing any diet strategies that have conflicting evidence. In conclusion, coconut oil should not be used more than once per month or if possible, completely avoided.

Could you post some photos of the painted hood mounted on the lens?
Yes, I could probably do that. Give me a few days though!
worthless in the used market.
at least use plastidip so you can peel it off later.
Some people think of their possessions as, well, their possesions, and not something they are carefully holding temporarily for the critical Used Market.
As a former collision repair specialist my concern is the solvents used in the coating. Over time this could break down plastics and possibly more. With new lenses I would imagine that the warranty would be voided.
Just curious, How do you attach the wonderful all metal solid Nocticron hood?
I think in the article I mentioned how I stopped using that lenshood. I use a screw in lenshood now which I prefer!
I’ve been experimenting with various materials for making actual *grips* for cameras and tablets, or sometimes just add a better grip to a surface of an ereader or iPad.
My most recent success was shaping a moderate grip for the Olympus E-M5II with Sugru (sugru.com), and then on top of that put skateboard Grip sheet. It’s similar to rough sandpaper. Man, does *that* give a grip! Much better than all the rubber sheets I’ve tried. It looks good I think, and with enough care can be made to look so good that almost everybody will think it’s part of the camera.
This car undercoating, does it radically improve the grip of the surface?
It does work better for me. Although I noticed in the heat, it’s not so beneficial. What I appreciate most is the fact that it protects my lenses from dings though. It’s been very functional now so far. It does feel a little like sand paper!
I really like the info you are posting for customizing lenses like this. Gonna try it! 🙂 I have the Nocticron!

Children who are prone to having tantrums could be at higher risk of heart disease when they hit middle age, say researchers.
A study found those who often got upset when they were seven had a significantly higher risk of having a heart attack or stroke in their early 40s – and the effect was most pronounced in women.
Conversely, youngsters who could stay calm and focused had a lower risk later in life.
heart disease in women, it was 17 per cent in men.
at 377 adults who had undergone emotional behaviour tests as children.
and other controlling factors were taken into account.
For women in their 40s their chances of having a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years increased from 3.2 per cent to 4.2 per cent if they had a distressed childhood. It rose from 7.3 to 8.5 per cent for men.
The team are now keen to do further work to better understand this link and whether a biological mechanism underpins the finding.
'We know that persistent distress can cause dysregulation of the stress response and that is something we want to look at,' Dr Appleton told the BBC.
The findings add to a growing number of studies that have found negative experiences in early-life can have a long-lasting effect.
in learning, behaviour, and health throughout their lifetimes.
Meanwhile scientists from Plymouth University revealed parents who smacked or shouted at their children increased their risk of developing cancer, heart disease and asthma. They said the actions had the same long term health implications as serious abuse and trauma.
The controversial study, published in the Journal of Behavioural Medicine, suggested the link could be caused because smacking and shouting at children causes them stress.
The latest research was published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

Readers of Shakespeare’s famous love story have generally interpreted the play in three major ways. One common view portrays the lovers as victims of fate or fickle fortune, as “star-crossed” because of the strange accidents and uncontrollable forces that control the destiny of their love — the family feud between the Capulets and the Montagues, Romeo’s sudden banishment, and the delay of Friar Lawrence’s letter that explains that Juliet is not dead but under a sleeping potion. This interpretation minimizes the lovers’ responsibility in causing their own tragedy by their hasty marriage, impatience, impetuosity, and despair.
A second view of the tragedy idealizes the love of Romeo and Juliet as beautifully romantic and transcendent, above criticism and moral culpability — a true love that the animosity of the families frustrated from following its natural course of culminating in a happy marriage.
Although Fortune, the family feud, and Romeo and Juliet’s tragic flaws all contribute to the deaths of the young couple, Pearce’s cogent argument attributes the primary cause of the tragedy to Romeo and Juliet’s immature, secretive, and irrational love and the secondary cause to the poor counsel and irresponsible conduct of the adults who misdirect the lovers.
With perceptive insight Pearce notes the comparison between Romeo’s strained language of love to the rhetoric in Petrarch’s sonnets, language that amounts to “mere cliché” and banality when seen in the tradition of the hackneyed Italian sonnet. Mercutio mocks Romeo’s inflated statements of love: “Now is he for the numbers that Petrarch flow’d in; Laura, to his lady, was a kitchenwench.” Pearce quotes Crystal Downing’s discovery of the telling fact that “Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet ‘at the height of the 1590s sonnet fad’.” Romeo’s idea of love, then, suffers from its artificial conventionality.

Five times in the book of Revelation, Jesus says, "I am coming quickly."
What meaning does "quickly" have, when it's been nearly 2,000 years since He said it?
In his first epistle (1 John 2:18), John says that it was "the last hour"…then.
If we look with earthly eyes, it could cause one to doubt; but with heavenly eyes, time has no real meaning when compared to all of eternity; for 2,000 years, by comparison, would be less than two days.
Now, consider something else: since God is One, then wherever any person of God is, there is Jesus, also.
Thus, to those who have the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the one true baptism, Jesus has come, spiritually.
When He does return in His physical appearance, that the whole world may see Him, to us it will be only a manifestation of what we already have had, for the presence of the Holy Spirit gives the believer a different vision and a different understanding.
18. Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour.
There are still many antichrist type people in the world today.
Things haven't changed much in all these years.
But where do these evil people come from?
19. They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, in order that it might be shown that they all are not of us.
If we listen to most conservative Christian commentators and television evangelists, we hear that they are usually looking to some evil government or anti-Christian movement for the antichrist; but that is not where they come from, as John reminds us.
These antichrists actually come from the church community itself.
They usually come from the extreme right or left wing, or at least some fringe area of Christianity.
Think of the Jim Jones and Richard Coresh situations.
They drew to themselves people who were discouraged with the world around them, and they gave them a sense of hope.
And the stronger the following, the more they claimed to be like Christ, and the more dictatorial they became.
and they resort to various kinds of immoralities (greed, lust, arrogance, cruelty, hatred, etc.) often away from public view.
Observe that none of these characteristics are based on love.
20. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.
We know the difference between what is of Christ and what is against Him.
And the three examples that I gave are all against the teachings of Christ.
Thus, if we are truly in Christ, we should know the difference.
21. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
This is a polite way of saying, I have written to remind you; and at times, we all get so involved in situations that we fail to really look at them as an outsider would look at them, so we need to be reminded about what it is really like.
22. Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.
23. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.
So, how do we recognize and avoid these problems?
24. As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.
25. And this is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life.
26. These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you.
There are many deceptions in the world around us.
What are we to do about it, run away from it?
No, that's how people get into trouble, and it's not what the Bible teaches us.
First of all, we are not to become a part of it; and secondly, we are to stand firmly against it.
27. And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.
We really don't need anyone to teach us, but we do need to be reminded of the truths, mostly because we get too busy or too lazy, and fail to read and study God's word on our own.
28. And now, little children abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.
29. If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him.
The messages that Jesus gave to the seven churches in Revelation were really this same kind of reminder.
8. 'I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
This is not a reminder to a bad church.
This is a reminder to a church that is trying to do what the Lord wants them to do, but not as fully as they should be.
In several ways, it could have been a church just like ours, today.
But it had some differences.
9. 'Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews, and are not, but lie--behold, I will make them to come and bow down at your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
10. 'Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell upon the earth.
11. 'I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, in order that no one take your crown.
12. 'He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name.
This is why it's so important that we that we instruct our children in the love of God, according to the whole Bible, that they will grow up in the knowledge and strength of the Lord.
And we don't have a Bible study for just for a few people; it's for everyone, but sometimes only a few come.
I don't encourage you to come because I'm counting numbers.
On the contrary, I'm encouraging you to come, that we may grow in the Lord together, and strengthen each other.
Don't just take my word for this, ask the people who come regularly.
I want you to have ears that really hear and eyes that really see.
It is only ignorance that gets us into trouble.

CHERRY HILL — On Thursday, Sept. 23, a crowd of 100 people gathered at Holy Eucharist Parish here for “Where Does Your Faith Lead You,” an evening to discuss comprehensive immigration reform. The event was organized by the parish social justice ministry, supported by the Diocesan Life and Justice Department.
Three panelists — Mariann Gettings, studying at Neumann University in “Interdisciplinary Studies: Immigration Reform,” as part of the Camden Diocese Lay Ministry Formation Program; Claire Dale, from Christ Our Light Parish, Cherry Hill; and Sister Catherine Darcy, vice chancellor, Diocese of Camden — discussed different aspects of the immigration debate.
Bishop Joseph A. Galante spoke before the panelists, decrying U.S. policy which restricts the rights of immigrants.
“We should be followers of Jesus who firmly believe in the dignity of every human being, and open our hearts and minds to the sisters and brothers who come to us, who look different, talk different, with pleading eyes,” he said.
According to the speakers, the current immigration system in the United States is broken, failing to protect the human rights and dignity of immigrants, who are usually separated from their families and taken advantage of by American employers.
Coming to the United States from countries where they might have been oppressed and wanting a better life for their families, immigrants want the freedom to practice their religion and “the freedom to educate their children. They come to the U.S. to raise money for their families back home, and hopefully bring them to the U.S. someday,” said Mariann Gettings.
The panel addressed the United States Conference of Catholic Bishop’s policy recommendations on comprehensive immigration reform, which call for a path to citizenship for immigrants; a new worker program, with protection of labor rights, and an option to earn legal permanent residency; reduced waiting times for family reunification; a restoration of due process, for the undocumented; and policies to be established, to address root causes of immigration.
Larry DiPaul, director of the Office of Life and Justice, served as moderator and facilitator of the panel discussion.
The public is invited to Holy Eucharist Parish on Thursday, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m., to view a film on immigration and to hear first-hand, some of the life stories of documented and undocumented individuals.

As a result of more than 15 years of in-house development and use, we have now introduced durable, reliable, mobile PTA machines, e.g. DURWELD 300T PTA into the market. These machines with a powerful water cooling can be operated manually or, optionally, with external manipulation devices using CNC or robotic interfaces. The main inverter power source is primary-switched and generates a very stable arc that ensures consistent and repeatable coatings.
Furthermore DURUM developed and manufactured the DURSPRAY 450, a mobile electric wire arc spray system. This system features states of the art power source-, value- and PLC-technology. The system can be used manually or in combination with industrial manipulators or robots in automated production cells.
Since the beginning of its foundation in 1984, DURUM VERSCHLEISS-SCHUTZ GMBH has offered training courses in the field of welding and thermal spraying. In this way the customer learns the correct handling of the system technoogy and the accurate processing of the DURMAT® products. Professionally trained employees with many years of experience offer individual consultations. Depending on the customer’s requirements, the trainings can either take place at the main location of DURUM in Willich (Germany) or directly at the customer’s place.

One half of the team that has been at the top of NICE since its creation in 1999, Sir Michael was given special dispensation by the Appointments Commission to stay on beyond the usual 10-year tenure. A professor of clinical pharmacology and a practising consultant in the field for more than 30 years, Sir Michael’s background won him respect and lends weight to the tough decisions NICE has to make. It is no doubt a measure of his effectiveness that he has been given further dispensation to stay on until 2013 when NICE takes on responsibility for social care as well.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s former chair Sir Michael Rawlins has criticised NHS commissioners for ‘poorly implementing’ the body’s guidelines but said making them mandatory would be ‘counterproductive’.
Hospitals must be reorganised so patients do not have to move beds or wards unless medically necessary, the Royal College of Physicians has urged.

Looking for a small portable air compressor. 99% to check and maintain tire pressure. I run 50 front 80 rear on my E250 EB 2wd, so not always available on the road, plus I am the "self contained" type. Not off-roading so use would be minimal. Looking at the VIAIR 90P Portable Compressor. Looking for your educated opinions.
I don't know anything about the VIAIR, but I'll tell you one thing: stay away from the compact Slime-brand style models. They're ok for bicycles, ATV's, and motorcycles, but they heat up fast. It would take days to push the volume of air in a truck tire.
Not much of a duty cycle, and the flow isn't very high, but to "top off" tire pressure it may be enough.
Viair is a major brand in portable air compressors.
Hmmm, I've never had trouble finding air compressors along regular roads that go up to at least 75 psi (some max out there, especially the fancy digital ones). Although nowadays you'll likely have to pay for the privilege of air. Many membership stores' gas stations (Sam's, Costco) have free air pumps that do the job.
I have the Vivair 70p for quite a few years now and use it once in awhile without any problems I wouldn't hesitate to buy one again. It can handle my 80 psi tires without any problems.
I have the ARB portable unit that comes in a plastic tool box. Draws 25A and can be hooked up to the battery. Not cheap, but sure outlasted a dozen parts store overseas units.
Hose is flexible in the cold. Although the tool box cracked.
Great piece. Airs up fast, has built in heat shut off that has never tripped, and tops out at 90 psi.
We have TMJ air compressorfor the 4Runner., TJM Portable Air Compressor 013TJMCOMP. Does the job and have no problems with it.
Use an ARB mounted in the van. The only issue with the ARB is water getting in the lines from the heat of compression. Need to get a tank and bleeder to drain the water out.
Our rig has a QuickAIR2, high output compressor; 2.5 g tank underside. This set up is for our ARB's and supplies pressure to regulate the tires as needed.

The Short Version: If you’re looking for a good cause, Charity Navigator has a million of them in a searchable database. Since 2001, the website has offered visitors comprehensive information about charities in the US. The site’s systematic ratings system holds charitable organizations accountable and promotes transparency in the nonprofit sector. A team of analysts objectively reviews the financial standing and ethical practices of around 8,500 nonprofit organizations, so you know which ones you can trust with your donations. Such informational resources give over 7.2 million annual visitors the confidence to contribute to reputable charities where like-minded and passionate people come together. You can use Charity Navigator’s search tools to find a cause worth joining and make a meaningful impact through donations and volunteerism.
One Christmas, I decided to come clean to my boyfriend. “I have no earthly idea what to get you,” I told him. Romantically. I’d already gotten him cologne for his birthday, a polo shirt for Valentine’s Day, and a book for our sixth monthiversary. I was fresh out of ideas.
He suggested donating the money I would’ve spent on his gift to charity. To prove I was just as immaterialistic as he was, I told him to do the same. Neither of us had a particular charity in mind, so we decided to shop around and let it be a surprise. He ended up picking a wildlife conservation group, and I chose a cancer research fund.
Giving to charity in someone else’s name is a touching and generous gesture as well as a great idea for a couple. My boyfriend and I put a lot of thought into which cause would be most meaningful to the other, and it was satisfying to support one another’s interests while doing a good thing.
If you want to donate to a good cause (whether on behalf of a loved one or on your own), but don’t know which one would be best, Charity Navigator can help you find a trustworthy charity worthy of your support. The informational website evaluates thousands of charities based on their financial documents and governing practices.
Charity Navigator helps donors browse top charities and give to a nonprofit they can trust.
Since 2001, Charity Navigator has highlighted millions of upstanding and effective nonprofits across the US. The site’s search tools and top 10 lists allow you to find a local, national, or global charity whose cause is close to your heart and where your time and money will have the greatest impact.
Charity Navigator lists charities of all types — from disaster relief to military family support — and directs visitors toward networks of generous people united by a common cause.
“Essentially, we are the Consumer Reports in the nonprofit sector. We exist to help donors find charities they can trust and support,” said Sandra Minniutti, Vice President of Marketing at Charity Navigator.
Longtime donors Pat and Marion Dugan frequently gave money to good causes but soon began questioning if they were making legitimate and worthwhile investments. Sometimes charitable organizations ended up being fraudulent or ineffective, and the philanthropic couple didn’t want to waste their money by giving to groups that didn’t truly support the ideals they cherished.
Pat and Marion Dugan founded Charity Navigator to bring donors greater peace of mind.
In 2001, Pat and Marion launched Charity Navigator to empower people to donate their money based on fact instead of feeling. They collected information about charities across the US and compiled it in a comprehensive database online. Pat and Marion believed an unbiased and transparent resource, like Charity Navigator, could give potential donors and volunteers more peace of mind when giving back to a nonprofit.
Today Charity Navigator has become the largest and most-utilized evaluator of charities in the United States. Expert analysts examine tens of thousands of documents to provide fair assessments of how effectively a charity manages its money.

Cuckoldry as a fetish! Definition: Unlike the traditional definition of the term, in fetish usage a cuckold is complicit in his (or her) partner's sexual "infidelity"; the wife who enjoys cuckolding her husband is frequently called a hotwife or a cuckoldress if the man is more submissive. Theories in psychology Psychology regards cuckold fetishism as a variant of masochism, the cuckold deriving pleasure from being humiliated. In Freudian analysis, cuckold fetishism is the eroticization of the fears of infidelity and of failure in the man's competition for procreation and the affection of females. If a couple can keep the fantasy in the bedroom, or come to an agreement where being cuckolded in reality does not damage the relationship, they may try it out in reality. However, the primary proponent of the fantasy is almost always the one being humiliated, or the "cuckold": he usually convinces his lover to participate in the fantasy for him, though other "cuckolds" may prefer their lover to initiate the situation instead. I love that you are my cuckold! Be my stud. Or you like to be my bull? So many role play to do! I am in control. Arrange a cuckold session with me in Milano, St.Moritz, Dublin, Luxembourg, Davos, Paris or around Europe. I am based in Manhattan and i am touring to Europe. If i am not in your city/country - fly me to you.

San Antonio’s public utility, CPS Energy, faced blowback from city leaders and environmental groups Thursday on its newly released strategic power plan that takes decades to fully transition to renewable sources of energy.
“A lot of folks felt blindsided by this,” said Russell Seal, a conservation committee co-chair for the Sierra Club’s Alamo Group, outside of City Council chambers before the Thursday meeting with CPS. Seal and a handful of other people showed up to protest the proposal.
The meeting — a regularly scheduled presentation by CPS — came just days after the utility revealed some of its future power-generation planning that assumes the city will continue to rely on coal and natural gas through at least 2040.
Under the “flexible path” plan released Tuesday, solar, wind and other renewable energy would account for half of San Antonio’s power sources by 2040. Gas and coal-fired plants would make up 20 percent of the utility’s power generation by then, with 16 percent coming from a new “flex gen” idea that counts on future technology and power storage.
The utility, which is owned by the city, currently gets roughly 22 percent of its energy from renewable sources, 45 percent from natural gas, 18 percent from coal and 14 percent from nuclear.
The utility’s CEO, Paula Gold-Williams, sought to cool tension at the meeting, assuring City Council members that the plan could change.
The plan would shut down CPS’ Spruce 1 coal plant, which went online in 1992, in 2030. The Spruce 2 coal plant, which was completed in 2010 for roughly $1 billion, would run until at least 2042, according to data provided by CPS.
CPS is planning to close the two 1970s-era J.T. Deely coal units at the end of 2018.
District 9 Councilman John Courage asked Gold-Williams why CPS couldn’t just move to 100 percent renewable energy, pointing to the community of Georgetown north of Austin as an example of a city that has made such a commitment.
Power purchase agreements, or PPAs, allow utilities to lock in the generation created by renewable facilities at fixed costs for long periods of times, generally for up to 25 years. CPS Energy uses power purchase agreements signed with multiple companies for most of its wind and solar generation, while it owns its fossil-fuel generation and a stake in a nuclear plant.
Kaiba White, an Austin-based energy policy specialist for Public Citizen, said that power purchase agreements are little different from a utility owning its power generation.
“It kind of hurt me to hear that there’s this idea being perpetuated that Georgetown isn’t doing something real because they don’t own their solar farm,” White said.

Tofu and tempeh are both made from soybeans, but are made in different ways and as a result have their own distinct taste and texture. Tofu is made from pressed soybean curds, while tempeh is made from fermented soybeans. Both are great sources of protein! Tofu can be found at local grocery stores, and tempeh can be found at specialty stores.
Cut tofu or tempeh into ¼ inch thick slices. Place in a shallow covered dish.
Mix marinade ingredients together and pour over the slices. Let marinate at least an hour, or overnight.
Use the slices as sandwich filling straight from the marinade, or cook them. (Note: it is best to cook tempeh unless it is very fresh). If cooking, heat one tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place tofu or tempeh slices in the pan until browned (about 4 to 5 minutes). Flip over and brown other side if you have time.
Serve in whole grain bread or wraps with other fillings of choice.

This yearbook is RIPE, though, y’all. Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if you can smell the stale cigarette smoke wafting off the pages of this thing. It made my pants reak, just touching my lap. I think she can smell it.
That is a shame. Maybe you can hold a perfume doused handkerchief under your nose while you peruse the book.
Your dose of trivia for today: In 1955, Miss El Slavador was 1st runner up in the Miss Universe contest. (Miss Sweden won.) Maribel Arrieta was a dead ringer for Marilyn Monroe. So there’s that, Miss Smelly Pants.
Wow, you’re not kidding. She was gorgeous!

wear2™ is a new textile process technology which allows garments to be selectively disassembled at end of life.
Incorporating wear2™ technology into clothing enables zips, buttons, fastenings, linings and other dissimilar materials to be easily removed without damaging the surrounding fabric. By engineering durable garments that literally “fall apart” on command, wear2™ provides a unique means to recover pure fibre, reuse corporate clothing or upcycle garments.
The lack of effective disassembly technologies and absence of design protocols for handling clothing at end-of-life have, until now, acted as a barrier to a profitable, sustainable clothing operation.
Over the last four years, a new patent protected process capable of simply and automatically separating seams in textiles without damaging the surrounding fabric has been developed by the wear2 team. The wear2 process, which is compatible with current manufacturing equipment, provides the clothing and fashion sectors with an opportunity to both enhance its competitiveness and reduce its environmental and societal burdens.
The innovative wear2 technology provides the capability to engineer garments that are durable in use but which can be easily disassembled with the application of a simple end-of-life treatment.

Of the three roads to California that by Panama was the most obvious, the shortest, and therefore the most crowded. It was likewise the most expensive. To the casual eye this route was also the easiest. You got on a ship in New York, you disembarked for a very short land journey, you re-embarked on another ship, and landed at San Francisco. This route therefore attracted the more unstable elements of society. The journey by the plains took a certain grim determination and courage; that by Cape Horn, a slow and persistent patience.
The route by the Isthmus, on the other hand, allured the impatient, the reckless, and those who were unaccustomed to and undesirous of hardships. Most of the gamblers and speculators, for example, as well as the cheaper politicians, went by Panama.
In October, 1848, the first steamship of the Pacific Steamship Company began her voyage from New York to Panama and San Francisco, and reached her destination toward the end of February. On the Atlantic every old tub that could be made to float so far was pressed into service. Naturally there were many more vessels on the Atlantic side than on the Pacific side, and the greatest congestion took place at Panama. Every man was promised by the shipping agent a through passage, but the shipping agent was careful to remain in New York.
The overcrowded ships were picturesque though uncomfortable. They were crowded to the guards with as miscellaneous a lot of passengers as were ever got together. It must be remembered that they were mostly young men in the full vigor of youth and thoroughly imbued with the adventurous spirit. It must be remembered again, if the reader can think back so far in his own experience, that youth of that age loves to deck itself out both physically and mentally in the trappings of romance. Almost every man wore a red shirt, a slouch hat, a repeating pistol, and a bowie-knife; and most of them began at once to grow beards. They came from all parts of the country. The lank Maine Yankee elbowed the tall, sallow, black-haired Southerner. Social distinctions soon fell away and were forgotten. No one could tell by speech, manners, or dress whether a man’s former status was lawyer, physician, or roustabout. The days were spent in excited discussions of matters pertaining to the new country and the theory and practice of gold-mining. Only two things were said to be capable of breaking in on this interminable palaver. One was dolphins and the other the meal-gong. When dolphins appeared, each passenger promptly rushed to the side of the ship and discharged his revolver in a fusillade that was usually harmless. Meal time always caught the majority unawares. They tumbled and jostled down the companionway only to find that the wise and forethoughtful had preempted every chair. There was very little quarreling. A holiday spirit seemed to pervade the crowd. Everybody was more or less elevated in mood and everybody was imbued with the same spirit of comradeship in adventure.
But with the sight of shore, the low beach, and the round high bluffs with the castle atop that meant Chagres, this comradeship rather fell apart. Soon a landing was to be made and transportation across the Isthmus had to be obtained. Men at once became rivals for prompt service. Here, for the first time, the owners of the weird mining-machines already described found themselves at a disadvantage, while those who carried merely the pick, shovel, and small personal equipment were enabled to make a flying start. On the beach there was invariably an immense wrangle over the hiring of boats to go up the river. These were a sort of dug-out with small decks in the bow and in the stern, and with low roofs of palmetto leaves amidships. The fare to Cruces was about fifteen dollars a man. Nobody was in a hurry but the Americans.
Chagres was a collection of cane huts on level ground, with a swamp at the back. Men and women clad in a single cotton garment lay about smoking cigars. Naked and pot-bellied children played in the mud. On the threshold of the doors, in the huts, fish, bullock heads, hides, and carrion were strewn, all in a state of decomposition, while in the rear was the jungle and a lake of stagnant water with a delicate bordering of greasy blue mud. There was but one hotel, called the Crescent City, which boasted of no floor and no food. The newcomers who were unsupplied with provisions had to eat what they could pick up. Unlearned as yet in tropical ways, they wasted a tremendous lot of nervous energy in trying to get the natives started. The natives, calm in the consciousness that there was plenty of demand, refused to be hurried. Many of the travelers, thinking that they had closed a bargain, returned from sightseeing only to find their boat had disappeared. The only safe way was to sit in the canoe until it actually started.
With luck they got off late in the afternoon, and made ten or twelve miles to Gatun. The journey up the lazy tropical river was exciting and interesting. The boatmen sang, the tropic forests came down to the banks with their lilies, shrubs, mangoes, cocos, sycamores, palms; their crimson, purple, and yellow blossoms; their bananas with torn leaves; their butterflies and paroquets; their streamers and vines and scarlet flowers. It was like a vision of fairyland.
Gatun was a collection of bamboo huts, inhabited mainly by fleas. One traveler tells of attempting to write in his journal, and finding the page covered with fleas before he had inscribed a dozen words. The gold seekers slept in hammocks, suspended at such a height that the native dogs found them most convenient back-scratchers. The fleas were not inactive. On all sides the natives drank, sang, and played monte. It generally rained at night, and the flimsy huts did little to keep out the wet. Such things went far to take away the first enthusiasm and to leave the travelers in rather a sad and weary-eyed state.
By the third day the river narrowed and became swifter. With luck the voyagers reached Gorgona on a high bluff. This was usually the end of the river journey. Most people bargained for Cruces six miles beyond, but on arrival decided that the Gorgona trail would be less crowded, and with unanimity went ashore there. Here the bargaining had to be started all over again, this time for mules. Here also the demand far exceeded the supply, with the usual result of arrogance, indifference, and high prices. The difficult ride led at first through a dark deep wood in clay soil that held water in every depression, seamed with steep eroded ravines and diversified by low passes over projecting spurs of a chain of mountains. There the monkeys and parrots furnished the tropical atmosphere, assisted somewhat by innumerable dead mules along the trail. Vultures sat in every tree waiting for more things to happen. The trail was of the consistency of very thick mud. In this mud the first mule had naturally left his tracks; the next mules trod carefully in the first mule’s footprints, and all subsequent mules did likewise. The consequence was a succession of narrow deep holes in the clay into which an animal sank half-way to the shoulder. No power was sufficient to make these mules step anywhere else. Each hole was full of muddy water. When the mule inserted his hoof, water spurted out violently as though from a squirt-gun. Walking was simply impossible.
All this was merely adventure for the young, strong, and healthy; but the terrible part of the Panama Trail was the number of victims claimed by cholera and fever. The climate and the unwonted labor brought to the point of exhaustion men unaccustomed to such exertions. They lay flat by the trail as though dead. Many actually did die either from the jungle fever or the yellow-jack. The universal testimony of the times is that this horseback journey seemed interminable; and many speak of being immensely cheered when their Indian stopped, washed his feet in a wayside mudhole, and put on his pantaloons. That indicated the proximity, at last, of the city of Panama.
It was a quaint old place. The two-story wooden houses with corridor and verandah across the face of the second story, painted in bright colors, leaned crazily out across the streets. Narrow and mysterious alleys led between them. Ancient cathedrals and churches stood gray with age before the grass-grown plazas. In the outskirts were massive masonry ruins of great buildings, convents, and colleges, some of which had never been finished. The immense blocks lay about the ground in confusion, covered by thousands of little plants, or soared against the sky in broken arches and corridors. But in the body of the town, the old picturesque houses had taken on a new and temporary smartness which consisted mostly of canvas signs. The main street was composed of hotels, eating-houses, and assorted hells. At times over a thousand men were there awaiting transportation. Some of them had been waiting a long time, and had used up all their money. They were broke and desperate. A number of American gambling-houses were doing business, and of course the saloons were much in evidence. Foreigners kept two of the three hotels; Americans ran the gambling joints; French and Germans kept the restaurants. The natives were content to be interested but not entirely idle spectators. There was a terrible amount of sickness aggravated by American quack remedies. Men rejoiced or despaired according to their dispositions. Every once in a while a train of gold bullion would start back across the Isthmus with mule-loads of huge gold bars, so heavy that they were safe, for no one could carry them off to the jungle. On the other hand there were some returning Californians, drunken and wretched. They delighted in telling with grim joy of the disappointments of the diggings. But probably the only people thoroughly unhappy were the steamship officials. These men had to bear the brunt of disappointment, broken promises, and savage recrimination, if means for going north were not very soon forthcoming. Every once in a while some ship, probably an old tub, would come wallowing to anchor at the nearest point, some eleven miles from the city. Then the raid for transportation took place all over again. There was a limited number of small boats for carrying purposes, and these were pounced on at once by ten times the number they could accommodate. Ships went north scandalously overcrowded and underprovisioned. Mutinies were not infrequent. It took a good captain to satisfy everybody, and there were many bad ones. Some men got so desperate that, with a touching ignorance of geography, they actually started out in small boats to row to the north. Others attempted the overland route. It may well be believed that the reaction from all this disappointment and delay lifted the hearts of these argonauts when they eventually sailed between the Golden Gates.
This confusion, of course, was worse at the beginning. Later the journey was to some extent systematized. The Panama route subsequently became the usual and fashionable way to travel. The ship companies learned how to handle and treat their patrons. In fact, it was said that every jewelry shop in San Francisco carried a large stock of fancy silver speaking-trumpets because of the almost invariable habit of presenting one of these to the captain of the ship by his grateful passengers. One captain swore that he possessed eighteen of them!

Demi Lovato, Rob Lowe Mourn Philip Seymour Hoffman's Death as Result of Addiction, an "Equal Opportunity Killer"
Philip Seymour Hoffman's death following an apparent drug overdose triggered an instantaneous flood of appreciation for his body of work—as well as a side-show debate about whether the Oscar winner was tragically fighting a losing battle all along or ultimately was responsible for destroying his own life.
Count Demi Lovato and Rob Lowe, both celebs who have publicly struggled with personal demons, took to social media today to defend those who suffer from addiction, calling it a disease and not a lifestyle choice, and further emphasize the dangers related to any level of drug use.
"You are not smarter than your drug," tweeted Lowe, who opened up about going to rehab in his 2011 book Stories, I Only Tell My Friends. "Or more knowledgable, powerful, stronger or anything else. Addiction is an equal opportunity killer."
"Philp Seymour Hoffman's sad, untimely passing has me angry," the 49-year-old actor continued. "I want more great work from him! I want less destruction from drugs/alcohol."
Lovato, who just last week marked three years since she underwent treatment for drug use, depression and other ailments, also offered her thoughts on addiction and drugs in general.
"I wish more people would lose the stigma and treat addiction as the deadly and serious DISEASE that it is," she wrote in a lengthy Twitter post. "Drugs are not something to glamorize in pop music or film to portray as harmless recreational fun. It's not cute, 'cool' or admirable.
"It's very rare when people can actually predict their addiction and even then, you never know when too much is going to take their life or take a bad batch of whatever it is [they're] using," Lovato added.
"It's time people start really taking action on changing what we're actually singing/rapping about these days because you never know if you could be glamorizing a certain drug to a first time user or alcoholic who could possibly end up dead because they end up suffering from the same deadly disease so many have already died from. This stuff is not something to mess with. Why risk it? Addiction IS a disease. Please spread the word so we can take the taboo out of discussing this illness and raising awareness to people of all ages. RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman.. An INCREDIBLE artist who lost his life to this horrible disease.. May you rest peacefully and in complete serenity now that your pain is gone. God Bless..."
Jared Padalecki caught major flack after calling Hoffman's death "stupid" on Twitter. The Supernatural star later clarified that he certainly didn't mean the late actor himself was "stupid," but that he still wouldn't characterize his death as a "tragedy," either.
A playwright friend of Hoffman's discovered the actor unconscious in his New York City apartment yesterday morning and called for help. Hoffman, 46, was pronounced dead at the scene, and law enforcement sources later confirmed to E! News that he died with a needle in his arm and multiple bags of heroin and other drug paraphernalia were found in his home.

MADANG FC have an eye on the National Soccer League and the other on preparations for the OFC Champions League next month.
Securing the second spot on the NSL ladder after two wins in two games at home, the Mauri Wasi-coached side seems to have made a few exceptional recruitments this season.
PNG Kapuls skipper Michael Foster was one such player the Madang side has on board for 2018.
The inclusion of the 32-year-old has given the franchise sufficient confidence for their NSL and Champions League campaign.
“Having Michael around has made a difference. A lot of players look up to him and that’s important for us as a team,” Wasi, the former PNG international, said.
Other recruits include 22-year-old defender Abel Redenut, who adds capacity to the back line and goal keeper Charles Lepani.
Talk about Madang signing New Zealand-based PNG internationals like Tommy Semmy, Patrick Aisa and Ronald Bala are ongoing at the moment. They will surely add depth to the side in their second involvement in the Champions League.
“We are still having talks about having these overseas-based players join us and it will boost our side in terms of experience,” Wasi added.
Madang is slotted in Pool C of the OFC event which will be held in New Zealand from Feb 24 to March 4.
Madang takes on eight-time regional champions and hosts Auckland City, Lautoka FC and AS Venus.
Meanwhile, the top-of-the-table NSL clash on Saturday will see Madang FC travel down to Lae to face-off with defending champions Toti City FC.
The heavyweights in the capital of Morobe boast PNG internationals Raymond Gunemba, Nigel Dabinyaba, Emmanuel Simon, Jacob Sabua, Obert Bika, Ronald Warisan and Solomon Islands internationals Tutizama Tanito and Andrew Rarangia.
Madang will be banking on Foster, Redenut and Lepani along with regulars Emmanuel Airem, Stahl Gubag, Papalau Awele and veteran Neil Hans to step up to the challenge.
“We have already started preparing for this weekend so we are expecting a very competitive match up,” Wasi added.
NSL standings: 1. Toti City FC (6pts), 2. Madang FC (6 pts), 3. Besta PNG United (3pts), 4. FC Morobe Wawens (0), 5. FC Momase (0), 6. Southern Strikers (0), 7. Buang FC (0).

Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Ben Stokes pulled off a shocking catch to disregard Chennai Tremendous Kings middle-order batsman Kedar Jadhav throughout the IPL conflict between the 2 groups on the Sawai Guy Singh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday.
Status on the backward level place, Stokes jumped to his left to pluck catch mid-air after Jadhav smashed a much broader supply from Jofra Archer within the 6th over.
After taking the catch, the English cricketer used to be observed speeding to the 3rd guy area so as to have fun the wicket as the remainder of his teammates converged round him.
It used to be no longer the one good piece of fielding effort produced through RR throughout the event. Previous, Jofra Archer ran Suresh Raina out with an instantaneous hit directly to the wickets. Later, Ambati Rayudu used to be stuck brilliantly within the deep through Shreyas Gopal.
Regardless of the match-winning effort within the box, RR did not protect the whole of 151, with MS Dhoni scoring a 43-ball 58. The exciting last-ball victory noticed CSK profitable their 6th sport in seven suits.

Opening up the main door onto the balcony this morning, I noticed the trees in my street are showing the first signs of bud-growth. Living on the second floor, I can literally reach out and touch them. One of the reasons why I love living in this street so much is the obvious seasonal change. During winter, my street has a wonderful starkness about it; during summer, the street has a wonderful lushness about it; spring embodies growth and autumn sees the street dumped in a huge amount of leaf litter.
I first felt the seasonal change yesterday morning when I walked out the front door. Suddenly, the slight chill in the air that has characterised the last few months, had been replaced by a warmth that went right through my clothes, through my skin and into my bones.
I love the way the seasonal change in Sydney co-incides, oddly enough, fairly closely with the calendar month. Although in many other parts of the world they define seasonal change along with the equinox, here in Sydney it pretty much happens on the first day of the month. And not just at spring, as the same thing seems to happen at other times of the year, too, and it’s odd to think about why. Although there are many theories about seasonal variation in Australia, including notions that some regions have up to seven or eight distinct seasons, here in Sydney at least we seem to have our seasons change on or about the first day of the month.
So yeah, spring is officially here, according to the calendar month, and according to the environment.
…and summer’s one the way. And I’m on holiday. I’ll be travelling a bit over the next month, but if you’re in Sydney, you can probably expect a lunch invitation sometime soon.

The Land that Time Forgot by Edgar Rice Burroughs.In 1916 the US Montrose is fired on and sunken by a German U-boat. However the survivors manage to sneak aboard and capture the U-boat. In between subsequent coups, the British and Germans agree to an uneasy truce until they can reach a neutral port. But they become lost and instead arrive on the mythical continent of Caprona where dinosaurs and cavemen still roam.

Volunteers from around the community are being sought to help package over 100,000 meals as part of a Falcon H.O.P.E (Helping Other People Eat) MobilePack event in Aplington this summer.
The Falcon H.O.P.E MobilePack is part of the Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) mission - a non-profit organization that provides meals for malnourished children around the world. This is done with the help of partners around the country, who purchase supplies and gather volunteers to package the meals, which are then sent off to feed children around the globe.
Spearheaded by a group of six different churches from the area, the packing event will be held at Bethel Reformed Church in Aplington in early August - but volunteers are needed immediately to help with planning and fundraising for the massive undertaking.

This will be the last issue of The Spectator before the annual tournament starts at Hastings. This dates back to 1895 and is the longest-running major tournament in the world. My own favourite game from my many appearances at Hastings was against Tony Miles.
Daniel Johnson’s excellent new book, which I am already promoting as the leading candidate for the English Chess Federation Book of the Year award agrees with me that Fischer’s victory in the World Championship in 1972 might actually have regressed the cause of chess, in spite of the great publicity achieved.
Daniel Johnson, a distinguished former correspondent of the Times and the Telegraph, would doubtless have become a strong titled player had he chosen chess as a profession. His new book White King and Red Queen: How the Cold War Was Fought on the Chessboard (Atlantic Books, £22) manages to make chess come alive even for those who cannot play. Essentially an examination of the way the Soviet state used chess, this book also covers the reigns of Spassky, Fischer, Karpov and Kasparov. The match between the first pair was the first occasion in the 20th century when chess fired the public imagination. Notes based on Kasparov’s.
A little-known system, favoured by Reti and Smyslov, could be useful for club or county games. It involves a double flank development (fianchetto) of White’s bishops but the key feature is to combine this with an early queenside attack involving the wing thrust b4. This week I give one of my own games with this system.
Six years ago grandmaster Tony Miles died at the tragically early age of 46. He had been one of the world’s strongest players capable of beating almost anybody on his day. Kramnik, Anand, Karpov, Tal, Spassky and Smyslov all fell to Tony’s enterprising style at some point or another in his career. This week I shall be commemorating a player who helped put British chess firmly on the global map.
Every so often an ingenious theoretician comes up with a novelty which is destined to overturn established practice. However, if such a novelty breaks hallowed rules such as moving the queen too early in the opening or neglecting development, the odds are that there will be a refutation which demonstrates it to be unsound.
This week, as a homage to the new world champion Vishy Anand, I give a game and a puzzle from his illustrious career. Although he showed tremendous early promise, Anand always seemed preternaturally cowed in the presence of Kasparov. Now that Kasparov has retired, it appears that Anand’s full genius has been permitted to flourish.
fine win by the Armenian grandmaster Lev Aronian. Although the Mexico tournament format produced much fine chess, it lacked the heroic dimension of a one-on-one match, to which we will be treated next year when Anand must defend his newly won title against the former incumbent Kramnik.
Why does Fidé, the world chess federation, insist on drug tests for chessplayers? Earlier this year I discussed this problem in the abstract, but after the recently concluded world championship in Mexico City, concrete examples have arisen.
The defending world champion Vladimir Kramnik finished in second place, on tie-break, in the Mexico City World Championship. Although he won some fine games, Kramnik came badly unstuck against the erratic firebrand Morozevich.
At last the crown prince has become king. Vishy Anand has been so close to the supreme title for years, yet like Rubinstein, Tarrasch, Nimzowitsch, Bronstein, Korchnoi and Keres before him, some obstacle always seemed to block his path. Twelve years ago Vishy unsuccessfully fought Kasparov for the championship in the no longer extant Twin Towers of New York.
As the undisputed World Championship in Mexico nears its close, it appears that the Indian grandmaster Vishy Anand is the likely winner. With five rounds to go, Vishy held a one point advantage over Gelfand and was 1Ω points clear of the reigning champion Kramnik.

The pumpkin stamp is from Paper Source and the sentiment is an older one from Amuse Studio.
To make the tag, stamp the pumpkin and sentiment with brown ink on white card stock. (I used Memento Rich Cocoa) Color the pumpkin with Copic markers and punch with a circle punch (here’s a great set of circle dies!). Lightly sponge with brown ink. Punch a scalloped circle from kraft card stock and lightly sponge the edges with brown ink (and here’s a great set of scalloped circle dies!). Attach the stamped piece to the scalloped circle. And that’s it!
I attached the tag to a little bag filled with treats using a tiny clothespin. I love how fun this turned out!
You could also use a jack-o-lantern or leaf stamp. You can find all sorts of little treat bags and tiny clothespins in your local craft store.

HINCKLEY Amateur CC had another frustrating weekend with all games rained off.
The first team travel to Cropston this Saturday hoping to get revenge for their only defeat earlier in the season while the second team are at home to Loughborough Outwoods.
The county cup semi-final against Electricity Sports has been rearranged for this Sunday at Ashby Road.
The Thursday firsts managed to get a game in and go top of division one in a rain-reduced game at Bulkington. On a damp and murky night, Amateur’s batsmen found runs difficult to come by with Wayne Sylvester top scoring with 30 and Alan York and Liam Philips hitting out at the end of the innings as they totalled 78-4 in their 15 overs.
Wily spinner Mick Butterworth took his wicket tally for the season to 40 as he took another four on the night. With the villagers needing eight off the last over, skipper Alan York took two wickets and the Amateur edged home by just four runs.

World Enough and Time: On Creativity and Slowing Down by Christian McEwen, Baughan Publishing (Peterborough, NH), 2011, 367 pp.
I recognized the title line immediately, from Andrew Marvell’s “To His Coy Mistress,” and loved the way the author had plucked it from its context of sexual seduction to entice us into a contemplation of slowness. McEwen’s World Enough and Time is a series of carefully considered essays on slowing down, and the necessary relationship between slowness and creativity. I see myself as a creative artist with both my preaching and my writing, and I know that neither one is possible without making a life that is spacious and slow. I struggle to preach on Sunday if I don’t have a quiet day off on Friday. The slow time matters, even if I am not working on the sermon itself. With that in mind, I was eager and receptive to read this book, which was given as an assignment by my Macedonian Ministries group.
McEwen begins with a basic case for slowness and a compelling indictment of modern American life, which she diagnoses with “hurry sickness.” Hurry sickness is a feeling of time poverty, so that life is lived in constant motion without the chance to linger, reflect, absorb or tarry. I have read many books on this theme, with corresponding statistical or theological or sociological analysis. McEwen offers none of those. She simply points out, with a poet’s care and sharpness, what we all know: a life full to the brim with activity is often empty of meaning, depth and relationship.
For the remainder of the book, she devotes a chapter each to a varied list of slow activities, slow gifts and slow ways of being. In each chapter, McEwen looks at the lives of artists and practitioners in those areas, combing their lives and art for quotations and insights about the process of creativity and slowness. She examines the gift of a long conversation with a friend, childhood experiences in nature, walking, reading, writing (especially reading and writing poetry), silence, sabbath, storytelling and meditation. Two of my favorite chapters were the ones on dreaming and on looking.
Every week, my journey with the Gospel is a quest to see it with new eyes. The stories are familiar and many are well-worn. Yet, when they are seen with fresh eyes, they give us new life.
In “Across the Bridge of Dreams,” she catalogs the relationship between creativity and dreams. I don’t usually share this, but this book has given me courage. Dreaming is a critically important part of my sermon writing process. I concentrate and work at the computer to research and think and analyze, but the mystical presence of the Gospel good news only comes to me when I sleep. I lay down in prayer with the sermon in my mind, and in that hazy place between dreaming and waking, the Spirit does its work to bind it all together for me. Sometimes, I will awake in the night to make notes. Other times, I dream it over and over again so that by morning it is all clear and ready to transcribe. According to McEwen, I am not alone. She shared that Samuel Coleridge, Jorge Luis Borges, Isabelle Allende, William Styron, and Robert Louis Stevenson all described writing in through their dreams, and included dreams in their process much the same way that I do. (245-249) It’s not simply paying attention or gaining insight or journaling about my dreams–the dreaming is an essential part of the writing process for me. I have to work it out in the dream. The same was true for them.
World Enough and Time was a rich experience from beginning to end. The book demands slowness in the experience of reading, so that you might contemplate and ruminate on all the things McEwen brings together. It also invites a re-reading, as a whole or just a chapter that piques your interest for a time. It is a book that invites you to dive in and surface again, to splash around here and there rather than simply consuming it from one end to the other. If you ever needed a compelling case for slowing down and creating space in your life, especially if you are an artist in any way, McEwen’s World Enough and Time is just what you need.
The Heretic’s Daughter by Kathleen Kent, Little, Brown and Company, 2008, 332 pp.
The Heretic’s Daughter is a novel about the Salem Witch Trials, inspired by the author’s genealogical discovery of a distant relation with one of the women tried and hanged as a witch at Salem. I was nervous about the book’s content on both of those counts: I didn’t anything to do with a book that made it seem that the Salem Witch Trials had anything really to do with witches, nor was I interested in a personal genealogical fantasy. The jacket convinced me to give it a try, and I was not disappointed.
The Heretic’s Daughter is told from the perspective of Sarah Carrier, the daughter of Martha Carrier, who was hanged as a witch at Salem and is kin to the author. It is as much a story about growing up in the tough conditions in the colonies, where religious and social climate is as harsh and dangerous as the Massachusetts winter. Sarah and her siblings must navigate this dangerous life of small pox, lawlessness, attacks by Native Americans, and crop failures that can trigger starvation. Sarah’s parents initially appear to match the cruel disdain of the landscape, but as the novel unpacks their story to her and to us, we come to treasure their fortitude and love for each other and for their children.
The novel was a beautifully written story from beginning to end. It is faithful to the history of the Salem trauma, focusing on the political and personal causes at work against those who were accused and convicted, even drawing on some of the feminist history written in the last several decades. The book does not try to make a case for its own historicity, but the author uses her imagination in conjunction with her research to give us a story that is beautiful, compelling and fascinating to read. History buffs especially will appreciate some of the creative back-story she creates. An enjoyable read for anyone who likes historical fiction.
Talking About Evangelism: A Congregational Resource by D. Mark Davis (part of the Holy Conversations series), Pilgrim Press, 2007, 111 pp.
D. Mark Davis’ book is designed as study for church groups to use as they consider and reconsider the role and importance of evangelism. Davis begins by acknowledging the tension around the meaning of evangelism. While evangelism is supposed to be simply about sharing the joyous good news of Christ, it has often devolved into a coercive act of persuasion, convincing others that your truth is better than their truth. How can we engage in evangelism that is open-hearted and open-minded, not confrontational and judgmental? Davis reassesses the entire practice and meaning in this short study.
Davis himself grew up in a conservative tradition that practiced aggressive evangelical tactics aimed at convincing other people of their need to “accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.” He shares memorable personal stories throughout the book of his own experiences, both positive and negative, and his changes in perspective along the way.
Davis’ study is rooted in scripture, with several deep studies of biblical texts about sharing our faith. He also includes a detailed and helpful discussion guide that is an easily executed lesson plan for any church group reading the study. I think this book would be ideal for churches who think of evangelism and faith sharing as something “those people” do, or cannot conceive of a way of sharing faith that is not coercive or judgmental. It is long on explanation and justification, shorter on implementation. It is not a “how-to” book in a concrete, easily applicable way, but it is an important first step for congregations and individuals who are resistant or at a loss for how to begin any kind of conversation about faith-sharing.

Fraser Hamilton and the team at M40 Offices made our day by making a donation towards the cost of running our young people's residential trips. These breaks are not only great fun for the young people themselves, but they also give parents a chance to have a rest, and spend time with their other children. These trips receive no local authority funding at all, so the the team at M40 are making a huge difference to many families over the next year. Thankyou!

An excellent program for the Red Sea Dive Holidays – where you’ll learn to understand the beauty and complexity of the aquatic ecosystem and incredible diversity of wildlife like Corals & Crabs, Seahorses & Sharks!
The TWO DIVES on this program help create awareness and responsible diver behaviour towards the underwater world.
You’ll identify a variety of animals both vertebrates and invertebrates and aquatic plants, and observe the interactive nature of the marine environment through symbiotic and predator/prey relationships.
This is a great course to begin a life-long interest in marine biology.

Tacloban City (July 5) -- Literacy is still the best tool in the country's fight against poverty, Department of Education Undersecretary Ramon Bacani declared during the launching of the "Literacy Laban sa Kahirapan" radio segment, a media advocacy for the universalization of functional literacy, at the Philippine Information Agency Region 8, on July 3.
The launching was covered live through a simulcast broadcast in seven radio stations and one television stations and was covered by two other major television networks and a number of print media representatives, in the six provinces of Eastern Visayas.
Usec Bacani who is the chairman of the Literacy Coordinating Council, said that although the Universal Declaration Human Rights affirms that "everyone has the right to education," literacy remains a low priority and as a result, literacy remains very low in many parts of the country to include Region 8.
The literacy advocacy through the Literacy Laban sa Kahirapan, Literacy Tungo sa Kaunlaran" radio segment is being piloted in the six provinces of Eastern Visayas, Undersecretary Bacani disclosed.
If the program will be successful in Region 8, then there is a possibility that the advocacy through radio segment will be made nationwide in the future.
The "Literacy Laban sa Kahirapan" radio segment is the Literacy Coordinating Council's small contribution to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's anti-poverty program, Usec. Bacani said.
Literacy is an indispensable means for effective social and economic participation, contributing to human development and poverty reduction, Usec Bacani said.
A person who is literate, one who could read and write and knows how to count and add, will easily find a productive activity and will not be easily persuaded to join the elements whose ideologies are contrary to the rule of law, Usec Bacani added.
This is why literacy is central to the efforts of eradicating poverty and hunger, ensuring sustainable development and the achievement of the millennium development goals as well as all the other Education for All goals.
After the 15 minutes radio episode, the Secretary entertained the questions from the local media and correspondents of various national broadsheets.
Usec Bacani was accompanied by Dr. Minda Sutaria, former undersecretary of Education who is now a consultant of the Literacy Coordinating Council, Dr. Norma Salceda of the LCC Secretariat, DepEd Region 8 ARD Alberto Escobarte, Dr. Imelda Parado DepEd 8 Regional Alternative Learning System Coordinator and Dr. Ronilo Firmo, DepEd Tacloban City Division Superintendent.
PIA Regional Director Olive Tiu, who hosted the launching episode of the Literacy Laban sa Kahirapan radio segment expressed her appreciation and gratitude to Usec Bacani for personally gracing the launching.
She expressed hope that through the Literacy Laban sa Kahirapan weekly radio segment, PIA under the leadership of Secretary Conrado A. Limcauco Jr.., will be able to increase awareness and sustain interest in literacy initiatives and programs from the national down to the local levels.
The simultaneous live broadcast in seven radio stations region-wide was first ever to be conducted in Region 8, a reliable media source said.
Literacy Coordinating Council which was created through Republic Act 7165 passed in 1991, is an inter-agency body tasked to formulate policies and coordinate national efforts towards the development of literacy skills for lifelong learning in a global community.

GOLD: The commodity looks to extend its weakness following its Monday losses. On the downside, support comes in at the 1,300.00 level where a break will turn attention to the 1,290.00 level. Further down, a cut through here will open the door for a move lower towards the 1,280.00 level. Below here if seen could trigger further downside pressure targeting the 1,270.00 level. Its daily RSI is bearish and pointing lower suggesting further weakness. Conversely, resistance resides at the 1,320.00 level where a break will aim at the 1,330.00 level. A turn above there will expose the 1,340.00 level. Further out, resistance stands at the 1,350.00 level. All in all, GOLD looks to weaken further on corrective risk.

HUNDREDS of families whose homes were torched and dismantled earlier this week in a violent land eviction near Bokor National Park say they have been left starving and without anywhere to go, local villagers told the Post Thursday.
Up to 300 houses in Anglong Krom, in Kampot's Taken commune, were destroyed during the eviction Monday and Tuesday by RCAF soldiers from Brigade 31, who have been involved in earlier evictions in the same area, villagers said.
Six villagers were injured - three of them severely - while clashing with the troops as their properties were ransacked, rights monitors say.
IF WE HAD A CHOICE WE WOULD NOT STAY HERE.... WE ARE LIVING IN FEAR.
Hem Da, whose home was torched to the ground, said that villagers were now sleeping under the open air without shelter or food, while being threatened with arrest from soldiers in the area.
"We have nowhere else to go, so we might as well die here," Hem Da said.
"Most of the villagers here are starving, as their food supplies have run out."
Hem Da said that on Thursday, an environmental police officer from Bokor National Park arrived and ordered villagers to leave within three days.
"If we had a choice we would not stay here," he said. "We are living in fear under the watch of soldiers."
Am Sam Ath, a monitor for human rights NGO Licadho, said that on Thursday his organisation took rice and fish to the villagers.
"The violent eviction by the armed forces is an abuse of human rights," he told the Post while on his way to the site. "These people are very poor, so the destruction of their homes means they are now even poorer."
Am Sam Ath added that even those villagers living illegally on the land should have been informed before their eviction so that they could prepare themselves.
"[The government] should come to investigate how these people are living," he said. "Then look at the possibility of relocating them instead of kicking them out with nothing."
Chey Uterith, the director of Bokor National Park, said that the army had evicted 192 families and that among those, only 83 owned the homes they were living in. He added that villagers from three other locations nearby will also be evicted in the near future.
"The villagers were not living there legally," he told the Post on Thursday. "We will figure out how many families really deserve new land and will try to provide concessions for them."
A military official in Brigade 31 told the Post that the number of illegal homes being built had increased, and that soldiers were now guarding the area against the squatters.

Glitz and glam in PLDT-Smart major rebranding event – Dabawenya Jud!
Flying to Manila with my fellow media colleagues, I was wondering what the fuss and secrecy was all about as the cryptic invitation’s only clue were the words “A New Day Unfolds”.
In an utmost confidentiality for a big announcement that was to go simultaneous nationwide, top guns planned in hush arrangements that sent employees in a frenzy on whether this was good or bad change for them. Overall, the result turned out beneficial to all.
The program was short and sweet. Hosted by Bianca Valerio and Steven Silva, they called PLDT and SMART Chairman and President Manny V. Pangilinan (MVP) onstage for the welcome remarks, before the unveiling of two new and upgraded corporate logos in red and green. MVP was joined by the heads of Smart and PLDT for a toast to this major rebranding.
The new logos were said to symbolize the powerful convergence of PLDT and Smart, combining fixed and wireless technologies to serve individual and enterprise customers.
With the new logo comes the change in name of the company from “Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company” into “PLDT Inc.”, to better represent the company’s current thrust and business shift to data-driven services.
PLDT-Smart is pursuing a three-year digital pivot that aims to transform its networks into “the country’s most data capable infrastructure delivering a growing array of compelling digital services.” The said logo changes are just the tip of an iceberg, one of the many steps towards digital transformation.
“We have embarked on a digital pivot to enable us to serve the increasing needs of our people’s digital lifestyle and the country’s growing digital economy,” said MVP.
“We shall lead the digital revolution by embracing the smart life within the organization, pursuing digital innovations and enabling our customers to go digital in their own ways. The biggest winners will be our customers who will have a growing range of choices at their fingertips.” The word ‘digital’ couldn’t be emphasized any better than this for the search engine optimization.
Shaped like a triangle, the new identical logos represent “three sides of the Company’s business pillars – for exceptional people, meaningful innovations, and valuable customers.” The said figure is also the symbol for Delta, the fourth letter in the Greek alphabet, which means “Change”.
The historic change was met with celebration nationwide in every office. We were lucky to have been given an icing on the cake up close – that of a surprise reunion with the members of the legendary band, Eraserheads. Ely Buendia and colleagues sang several songs that made them famous, while the crowd was revved up from beginning to end, singing along with the popular tunes. What a treat!
While we moved about for celebrity-spotting and a little “selfie ambush” with program director Rowell Santiago, we weren’t able to get close to the MVP for a quick snap.
We managed to rub elbows with pretty faces, though, like the Bb. Pilipinas Queens, PLDT FVP and Head of Home Business Operations Renren Reyes, and the VP and Head of Marketing for PLDT Home and Smart Bro Gary Dujali, who recently headed the successful Smart Bro tours in Mindanao.
The night was young, and though we bonded with our Cebu media colleagues, we went back to emjoy our cozy lair in Discovery Primea Suites, thanks to our gracious host, PLDT Home. A new day begins again, and we look forward to a faster and more efficient technology that will help change lives for the better.

Last December, Robert and I spent 4 days in Kiev, 2 weeks into the Ukranian political protest.
Our backpacking trip through Europe had been planned for a while, but a few days prior to departing St Petersburg for Kiev we discovered we were about to journey to a city in political turmoil. At the time the protest was fairly peaceful so we decided to continue our visit.
Our hostel had no other inhabitants during our 4 night stay and was located about 50 metres from Maidan Square, the heart of the protest. We stepped off the train at the nearest station to walk through thousands of protest camps and ankle-deep snow. Crowds of people has dressed themselves in the Ukrainian colours of blue and yellow, and were cheering for political speakers on the protest stage. There were people driving their trucks down side streets to deliver wood for campfires or helping out by serving hot soup and bread to feed the crowds. Flags decorated every statue, car, tent, and building in sight. Standing amongst these people with such passion for the future of their country was an invigorating feeling.
On our first day we went sightseeing in Kiev, a beautiful and culturally unique city. The snowy streets featured soviet era buildings, marvellous pastel churches, quaint parks and friendly people. To get anywhere in the city we had to walk back through the protest, but we didn’t mind. The atmosphere was exciting and we enjoyed being a part of this extraordinary event.
The main purpose of our time in Kiev was to visit the soviet townships of Prypyat and Chernobyl, abandoned in 1986 due to the infamous Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion. We visited on our second day. The tour departed from just beside Maidan Square, and took us two hours through the Ukrainian countryside to arrive at the forgotten townships. We wandered through neglected buildings and empty streets, an incredible and eerie experience. On our return we could not be dropped off at our departure point as some of the streets had since been closed. We were left about a 20 minute walk from Maidan Square.
On the third day of our stay we continued sightseeing, and that was the day the riot police arrived. They donned helmets and shields but they weren’t there to fight, just intimidate. As we left our hostel in the morning to catch the metro to the war memorial monument, we witnessed people crowding around to take photos of the police blocking the streets.
That same day, multiple metro stations in the city were closed by the government in an effort to deter people from joining the protest. By the time we started back in the afternoon the stations had been shut off from the public. As we couldn’t catch a taxi due to the streets being closed off, we ended up walking 2 hours through heavy snowfall to get back to our hostel. We discovered the atmosphere of the protest had gone from peaceful to a whole lot more serious in the space of a few hours. We were glad our flight was scheduled to depart the next day.
The stations were still closed the next morning and we needed to get to the airport. But how? With the streets blocked off and the metro stations closed, our only option was walking 30 minutes with our heavy backpacks along icy streets to the nearest operating metro station.
Everything in Ukraine seemed to operate on a much more casual time schedule than the rest of the world. Once we’d made our way to the main metro station, the airport bus took a ridiculously long time to get going and we were already running late. I continued checking my watch as the departure time of our international flight got dangerously close. We eventually arrived at the airport 50 minutes before our scheduled departure time, and by that stage the transport frustrations had made us well and truly ready to move on to a country where getting anywhere wasn’t such a struggle.
Our visit to a city in the midst of a developing political protest was certainly not an everyday experience. It was uncomfortable, frustrating, and just a little scary. We had to exercise patience when transport and sites weren’t operating normally, and had to be careful which streets we walked down in case of blockades. We followed the news continually to make sure things weren’t getting out of hand, and wondered what we would do if they did. But when we look back on the experience now, we laugh about the amazing travel stories that came from our time in Kiev and enjoy telling anyone who will listen. And would we visit Kiev again once the political unrest is over? Absolutely.
Is Bratislava as dangerous as its reputation?
What a fascinating (and no doubt scary) time to be in Kiev. What did locals seem to be thinking about the protests at the time? Did they think the situation would end up quite so serious?
You are lucky you got there when you did – not too many people would be keen to head to Ukraine nowadays!
I’m not entirely sure but I believe they all were aware of the possibility of the situation worsening, most of the locals were saying that they’ll stay at the protest as long as it takes, they were very passionate about their cause.
I’m definitely glad on our timing, I can’t imagine Ukraine is high on anyone’s list at the moment!
I enjoyed your story and photographs, thank you! How was your trip to Chernobyl? Would you recommend it to others? To a female solo traveler? Thanks in advance!

In this study, we developed a hydronephrosis phantom made of pork kidney as surrogate of the human hydronephrotic kidney for teaching POCUS. The phantom described was assembled using easily accessible cheap materials (around US$ 25), and it replicates the ultrasonographic image of a human obstructed kidney. Although we did not made a formal evaluation of the phantom’s effectiveness in this article, it was used to test a group of medical students and residents to answer the question: In this ultrasonographic image obtained from a young man with flank pain, is hydronephrosis present?; all participants gave the right response. Another aspect of the phantom was the darkness of the gelatin obtained by adding gentian violet, which is important visualizing the kidney with the naked eye. Additionally, our phantom can be used to train nephrology and urology residents to improve their skills and confidence in US-guided percutaneous needle placement and, consequently, applying this skill in patient care.
