A good cocktail isn't just a delicious drink, it's an idea in a glass waiting to be explored.
It all started in spring of 2010 with the Currytini and ever since we’ve been marinating, making bitters, barrel-ageing, deconstructing and generally experimenting with fruit, spice and other flavour combinations to put an interesting spin on classic cocktails. We’ve now gathered up the best of these, along with our favourite sparklers, straight classics as well as some aromatics and bitters.
Just as painters fall in love with colours, sensing tonal gradations, moods, emotions and meaning in the colours on their palette, mixologists detect nuances of other flavours on their palate in the spirits they use. Once aware of them, these trace flavours and aromas are unmistakeable. This is what we are exploring in this collection of cocktails concentrating on pure spirits, highlighting their subtle characteristics with tiny amounts of other spirits and essences. These are portraits of some of our favourite spirits.
Gin and tonic is practically the national drink and nothing wrong with it as it is. In researching flavour combinations we’ve discovered some interesting bitter and aromatics enhancements to the basic G&T.
Choose any combination with gin and tonic.
Bursts of citrus and tropical fruit. Bold, modern and refreshing.
A complex malty robust porter with lots of coffee and chocolate.

I always have the weirdest dreams…Some days they are like film scripts, you can turn them into movies and sometimes they are just ridiculus, like the one I just had. I dreamed about Sponge Bob and his ex-girlfriend. Then, I found a german shepherd and it turned into a baby in my arms while sitting in a rocking chair. It’s like I’m Alice in Cuckoland.
Anyway, It’s raining here today and it’s already dark. Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon) has happened I guess. This week I don’t have a lot to do. I want to buy a new blush because the one I’m using is really old and about to finish. Also I want to buy a new pillow as from time to time I have to use a softer one because of my migraine headaches. On saturday I cleaned the kitchen and threw away all expired stuff and things we do not use. I.FEEL.GREAT. There’s only kitchen cabinets left to clean up. Then I want to clean the en-suite bathroom. And by friday, I want to finish the book I’m reading.

"The internet...has allowed for an explosion of learning opportunities"
"students must learn to identify and appraise resources"
The internet provides a resource for information that is unparalleled in all of human history. This has allowed for an explosion in learning opportunities worldwide as more regions and communities are connected to the network. They have immediate access to a wealth of free knowledge that would have been unthinkable in many places just a few years ago. However, along with this windfall of quality resources comes a plethora of misleading or outright false information. This has become a major concern at every level of society and therefore students must learn how and practice identifying and appraising the quality and credibility of data and resources that they find online whether for educational or personal use.
The following "CRAAP Test Worksheet" is a resource to help the students maintain a safe digital research environment and evaluate the credibility of online resources. Below the worksheet there is a link to a "Website Evaluation Wizard" to help evaluate the authenticity of a web page, and an example JIT lesson for teaching how to determine source credibility.
Several graphic resources follow the example JIT lesson below which display the important points about copyright, creative commons and "fair use" to aid in using media resources found online for educational purposes while being aware of the factors concerning copyright and fair use policy and law.
Click the button below for a tool to help quickly evaluate the authenticity of a web page. Several criteria can be evaluated and a "red flag" will be given if one or more of the criteria suggest that the page or it's contents should not be trusted.
The following is an example of a JIT to address the types of online research typical to a secondary level science curriculum. The question is designed to be provocative, open ended and allow an opportunity for students to “take a stand and justify their position” (Novak, 2014).
Write a short explanation of your own assessment of the claims made by the websites’ authors and then compare that with the score from the CRAAP Worksheet, and write any comments. Find and note one online source refuting the claims of these given sources or giving an alternative perspective. What kind of scientific knowledge do you need to understand and assess the information in these websites? How can you be sure that scientific information you find online is truthful, unbiased and useful?
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) has developed standards to guide instruction for effective use of technology. Below is a poster showing the standards for students, for more details about each standard, visit their website. The JIT lesson above was created to initiate critical thinking about researching online in a safe way while being aware of the factors which intimate source credibility. It addresses several of the ISTE standards relating to becoming a “Knowledge Constructor” (ISTE Standards for students, 2017).
The example JIT lesson above requires the students to use critical thinking skills to determine the credibility of the sources and the validity or bias of the information presented. They must also locate a relevant source to refute or challenge the given sources requiring them to “employ effective research strategies”. Finally, they will “build knowledge” about “real-world issues” by working to understand the concepts involved and discovering the facts about the matter (ISTE Standards for students, 2017). These are several important skills found in the standards.
We should also consider bias or different perspectives that the authors of online content may hold. Here is a good explanation of bias and how to detect it. And this is a tool to help with formulating a perspective and synthesizing sources to support that claim (helpful for writing papers).
Here are several infographics and charts that can help students determine whether or not a resource can be used for a particular purpose. They can also help to decide what type of protections or licensing the students' own work requires.
This is a comprehensive infographic flow chart that can help to determine whether or not a resource can be used for a particular purpose. The full image can be downloaded below.

For the past couple of weeks, there has been an increase in website hits and inquiries, but it had yet to translate into showings. After several weeks of little showing activity and despite temperatures over 100 degrees, we finally started to see some life come back into the local real estate market.
With interest rates at historical lows this may be the best time to purchase a home as either a primary residence or as an income producing investment. The “perfect storm” of low prices and low interest rates will not last forever any more than the crazy run-up in prices and lax mortgage lending practices that took us here.

We are based in a purpose-built building, specially designed to enhance acoustics and sound insulation.
We are next to our dedicated Music Library and are just a short walk from the Students’ Union, the Arts and Social Studies Library and a range of University support services.
As you approach the School of Music, you can’t fail to notice the bronze sculpture on the lawn outside. We often get asked about this artwork so here’s a little background on it.
The piece is called Three Obliques (Walk-In) and was created by the famed artist Dame Barbara Hepworth in 1968. Only two others exist, one at Chatsworth House, and one in Seattle. It’s an astonishing piece of sculpture and provides a lovely backdrop for our annual graduation photos!

It’s hard to know what the future holds for the venerable Castlevania franchise. Konami themselves seem content to do nothing but re-release Symphony of the Night over and over again, former franchise head Iga has the just-about-legally-distinct Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night on the way and there’s the Netflix cartoon, but for honest-to-goodness Castlevania games? Who knows when we’ll see another. But this is the Halloween season and I want to try a Castlevania game that I’ve never played before, goddamnit – and that leaves me with only one option. It’s time for the 2007 game for mobile phones, Castlevania: Order of Shadows!
That’s right, back in the day you could pay about six bucks to download a Castlevania adventure created specifically for mobile phones, with a whole new plot and cast and everything. I say “new cast,” obviously Dracula and Death are in it. However, because this is the year 2018 I couldn’t just play Castlevania: Order of Shadows on my phone. Instead I had to go through a lot of faffing about to get it running well enough to play all the way through, a process that involved visiting shady Java download websites, wrangling various setting into place and, eventually, resorting to playing the bloody thing on my ancient laptop. That’s the laptop that I wrote the first ever VGJunk articles on, and it was old then. I had to have a desk fan blowing on it stop it from overheating. In retrospect, Castlevania: Order of Shadows was not worth the effort.
The all-expenses-spared prologue fills you in on the backstory to this latest climactic battle of good versus evil. A dark, sinister order – an order of shadows, if you like – are planning to resurrect Dracula, and a Belmont must head out and whip them until they stop doing that. It is not exactly a story that breaks the mould established by previous Castlevania games.
Here is the Belmont in question. His name is Desmond Belmont, and he’s assisted by his two sisters Zoe and Dolores. Desmond has inherited both the sacred monster-slaying mission of the Belmont clan and their curious posture, where arms are forever bent at the elbow and they walk in mighty strides. He’s also very orange. It makes him easier to see against the dark backgrounds, and I suppose that would be helpful if you were playing this on a mobile phone.
The action begins and hey, this is a Castlevania game! I’m in a hallway, there's a candle with a heart inside, I’m about to whip a zombie that’s waving its hands in the air like it just don’t care. It doesn’t get much more Castlevania-y than that. The gameplay in C:OoS will be immediately familiar to anyone who’s played a Castlevania game in the past, with Desmond making his way through a variety of locations, whipping monsters and using his stiff-legged jumping “skills” to clamber between platforms. You control the game using either the number pad keys or the little joystick-nub-thing that many mobile phones of the time had, with the main differences from real Castlevania games being that you press up to jump, rather than a button. This means that using your subweapon involves pressing a separate button, because up is reserved for jumping.
That’s right, there are subweapons – I managed to find the cross and the axe early on. They’re a little… strange. For starters, they’re far weaker than they used to be, with the cross taking three or four hits to defeat enemies that can be slain far more easily with a single flick of the whip. Oh, and the axe travels horizontally, rather than in the usual arc you’d see in traditional Castlevania games. The biggest departure from the familiar subweapon system is that you can carry more than one subweapon at a time. In fact, once you’ve grabbed them, you’ve got them forever, and you can change which one you have active by equipping it via the game’s pause menu. That’s an interesting feature, and after playing lots of Castlevania games where a chunk of the challenge came from actively avoiding certain subweapons I’m kinda glad of its inclusion.
After breezing through the early corridors, Desmond finds himself in the bone pit. You know, where they store all the bones. Is this like an assembly lines for skeletons? There are definitely skeletons around, you can see a pair of bony legs at the top the screenshot above. I suppose it’d be more like a scrapyard for skeletons, really. If you’re looking for a spare scapula from a 1758 Transylvania Peasant, this is where you’d come.
Slightly further on, and now we’re platforming thorough a series of caves while skeletons throw bones at us. “So, how’s that going?” you might ask, and the answer is the kind of low, throaty moan you might make if you unexpectedly stepped in something soft with no shoes on. You might not be surprised to hear this, but Castlevania: Order of Shadows is not the most enjoyable game to actually play. It’s leaden and ponderous, with Desmond lashing out his whip so slowly the only conclusion is that he’s trying to tickle his foes to death. Jumping is equally awkward, particularly when trying to avoid enemy attacks: pressing up will sometimes make Desmond jump straight upwards, as you’d expect, but then at other times it makes him jump diagonally forwards in the direction he’s facing. For the life of me I never figured out what triggered which jump, and that made the game’s (thankfully not-too-taxing otherwise) jumping sections a real chore. If you’re walking forwards and hit the attack button, you have let go of the movement key and then press it again before Desmond will resume walking after the attack, further slowing down the action. Desmond’s hitbox is not so much a box as a goddamn circus tent, with you taking damage from enemies that aren’t in the same sodding postcode, never mind touching you. All in all, the gameplay is bad. Did I get that across? And don't forget I'm playing this on a keyboard, so god only knows how it felt on a phone.
The first boss is the Order Knight, an armoured chap with disproportionately tiny legs and a pair of big swords. Oh, and he can throw daggers that are basically unavoidable thanks to to the lag on the controls. I tried throwing my own projectile weapons at the boss, but they do very little damage so in the end I had to go toe-to-toe with the knight, hoping that he’d run out of health before I did.
It didn’t go great. “Well, you really ballsed that up,” says Death as he drifts down from the top of the screen to claim Desmond’s immortal soul. Admittedly this is neat death animation, with a nice sprite of capital-D Death that’s clearly not up to the graphical level of Symphony of the Night but possesses its own bony charm.
Also nice is the fact that running out of health is essentially meaningless in this game. You hit continue and you’re dropped back at the start of the screen you died on with a full health bar. This time when I whipped the knight it did run out of health before me, so that’s the first area complete.
Defeating the knight grants Desmond access to the back dash. Don’t believe the lies of that description, it is not useful for anything. The most interesting thing about the back dash is that, hey, what’s the first thing you’re going to do when you’re given a new move? You’re going to try it out, right? So I backdashed on the first screen of the new area and I backdashed off the screen and into the previous boss arena. Thankfully I didn’t have to fight the knight again. But hey, C:OoS has backtracking! It’s a Metroidvania! No, it is not. There’s one place in the game where you might have to revisit an earlier area. As much as this game wants you to think it’s cut from the same cloth as Symphony of the Night, with its collectable weapons and ability to travel back to previously-cleared areas, in reality it’s a very linear game. You do get experience points and level up as you play, but it seems to have a very minor effect on the gameplay aside from raising Desmond’s maximum health.
Pressing ever onwards, Desmond negotiates a crumbling waterway and faces some fleamen, one of Castlevania’s most hated monsters due to their erratic bouncing movements. I’ll admit I was worried. How was I going to avoid these capering bastards when Desmond has all the grace and agility of a suitcase full of bricks? It turned out not to be a problem, because Desmond’s whip stays extended for a long time and the fleaman were perfectly willing to jump straight into it and die. I think the one pictured above was the closest a fleaman ever got to me.
Also starring in this stage are these familiar witches. Sadly they do not turn into cats and run away when you defeat them like they do in Symphony of the Night. I know, I know, there are a lot of limitations thanks to this being a mobile game, but still.
The rest of the stage comprises a tedious slog through the kind of barren, grey rooms you can see above. The occasional bat flutters past, disinterested in the entire sorry affair. I tried to hit some of the bats with my new secondary weapon, the Platinum Blade. Unusually for the series, C:OoS features subweapons that are melee rather than projectile attacks: in this case, the Platinum Blade allows you to sweep a sword in front of you. I think it’s supposed to be weaker than your whip but faster to activate, but the range advantage of the whip is so important that almost all of the close-range subweapons are a waste of hearts.
...but you actually land “on” the platform above, with this somehow counting as Desmond standing on the platform. Is an unintended quirk of the engine, or was it included intentionally to make it a bit easier to get around? I have no idea, but if for some reason you decide to play this game then I recommend making the most of it.
The boss is two bats. Big bats, granted, but still just bats. I sure wish that the axe in this game arced upwards when you throw it. I’m kidding, of course: just use the whip. It really is all you need.
Are they, though? Because I’m not really seeing any difficulty curve at all in this game. A difficulty plain, maybe. A plateau of challenge. I was going to say that the twin bats were actually easier to defeat than the Order Knight, but I was making that first battle more challenging for myself by trying to avoid the boss’ attacks when I should have just stood there and furiously whipped away like a Pharaoh trying to get his pyramid built ahead of schedule.
The beginning of the next stage is no more interesting than the end of the last, with more extremely simple platforming and backgrounds for which the concept art must have been a picture of someone shrugging non-committally. Not wanting to be outdone by the bats, some Medusa Heads put in a shift as this area’s lazy, unthreatening hazard.
Then I got a few screens further in and this minotaur flattened me in seconds. This took me by surprise, because every other enemy in the game thus far has done negligible amounts of damage if they somehow managed to slip past my whip, whereas the minotaur can kill Desmond in three hits and barely takes any damage from your attacks. My experience playing other Castlevania games told me that the best strategy would be to bait out the minotaur’s attacks, especially his dashing attack, and then hit him while he recovers – but this strategy proved useless because the minotaur’s hitboxes are seemingly made up on the fly and bear no connection to the position of either the minotaur or his axe.
In the end I toughed it out by eating all the health-restoring chicken legs that I’d squirrelled away in my inventory and whipping repeatedly, and my reward was… the Crissaegrim? The most powerful weapon in Symphony of the Night, a whirling vortex of blades that transforms the wielder into a cross between a ribbon-waving gymnast and a combine harvester? Yes, that Crissaegrim. Except in C:OoS it’s a subweapon that gives you a medium-strength, short range attack as Desmond swings the blade once. The saddest thing is that this is probably the best subweapon.
It turned out that beyond the minotaur was a dead end, so I had to go back a little and start exploring these underground caves. Skeleton archers are the new threat here, but to balance things out there are suddenly magic spells dropping from every other candle. You can see one in use above, the Firestorm spell that drops a carpet of lingering flames from the sky. They’re all single-use items as opposed to the equippable subweapons, but there are quite a lot spells to collect, from simple projectile attacks to projectile-repelling barriers and even limited invulnerability. You might think these spells would hammer the final nail into the subweapons’ coffin, but the problem is that you have to get into the right position, pause the game, scroll down to the inventory, select your spell and then use it. This rather takes you out of the game, and C:OoS is already such a slow, plodding experience that spending twenty seconds navigating menus just to throw a fireball at a bat is a ludicrous proposition.
Waiting at the bottom is Medusa. She’s staring at you, with her eyes. She can indeed turn Desmond to stone with a glance, but he gets over it fairly quickly and Medusa’s sword has nothing like the range of your whip, so it ends up being a rather one-sided battle. Far more interesting is that victim in the background. It seems that at some point in the past Medusa managed to defeat Simon Belmont. Given that Medusa is easily beaten by Desmond – an arthritic, shambling warrior whose whip-arm travels with all the power of Ratty from Wind in the Willows rowing his little boat – there must be something more to that statue. Maybe it is a statue, carved to commemorate Simon Belmont’s many victories, and Medusa grabbed it so that people would think she overpowered the famous vampire killer. If it is Simon Belmont, let’s hope he stays petrified, because the alternative is dying from embarrassment.
The reward for beating Medusa was the double jump ability, so now I can travel back to where I fought the minotaur and jump to the high platform that leads onwards. Oh, and I found a fire whip. That’s nice.
The next zone is more of the same, with the faintest hint of a maze-like layout half-heartedly dribbled on top. There are a few places where if you fall down you have to climb up a few screens to get back to where you were, and if you think that sounds like pointless filler then you’re absolutely correct.
For all its flaws, and they are numerous, Castlevania: Order of Shadows features huge ghosts that take the form of spectral skulls and float around menacingly and thus deserves some measure of our affection. Granted, there’s not much else a giant ghost skull can do besides float around menacingly, and again they don’t look as good as their Symphony of the Night counterparts, but I’m still very pleased to see them.
This hooded chap is Rohan Krause, the latest in a long line of people hoping to be Dracula's alarm clock. He also killed Desmond’s parents, so this time it’s personal. I’m trying really hard to care, I swear.
Rohan’s a wizard, and he attacks using the same arsenal of spells that Desmond’s been collecting on his travels: here you can see me getting immolated and shot in the back. This is the only time in the game I got any use out of the spells, specifically the “Reflect” spell that provided a barrier that was very temporary but lasted long enough for me to get a bunch of whipping done while Rohan mumbled some incantation or whatever it is wizards do. I did die the first time I tried this battle, but that’s hardly a bad thing – as mentioned previously you just restart the fight with a full health bar, and you have infinite lives. Oh, and pockets full of delicious roast chicken, should you need it.
But alas, killing Rohan has provided the blood required to resurrect Dracula! This is why the Belmonts should invest in some less-lethal weaponry like, I dunno, rubber throwing knives or a whip with a taser sellotaped to the end. Desmond doesn’t believe Rohan’s claims, but Rohan tells him to venture to Castlevania and see for himself. Oh boy, Castlevania! At last! Surely this is where C:OoS is going to pick up, and I can’t wait to explore the nightmare halls and dank catacombs of Dracula’s castle itself!
Okay, so Castlevania isn’t quite the sprawling labyrinth it used to be. In fact, it’s just a couple of rooms containing a surprisingly large amount of fermented soy beans, plus the iconic staircase leading up to Dracula’s chambers. Making a Castlevania game where you travel to Dracula’s castle and said castle is made up of three monster-free rooms is a bold choice, but I can’t pretend to be disappointed. I’m more than ready for this game to be done with, so let’s go and deal with Dracula.
Desmond is very surprised that his actions have helped in Dracula’s resurrection, despite being told five minutes ago that this was the case. He’s a Belmont, too, so it’s not like he should be shocked that Dracula’s up and about. I’m beginning to suspect there’s a reason the other games never include Desmond in the great pantheon of legendary vampire killers.
You know that fight against Dracula’s first form? The one that any Castlevania fan has played through umpteen times before, where Dracula teleports around the screen, popping back to the material realm to throw fireballs? Yeah, it’s that battle again, with a few important changes. One is that you don’t have to whip Dracula in the head to hurt him, any blow will do. I assume this is to counteract that fact that Desmond’s glacial reactions and the abysmal controls make it almost impossible to avoid any of Dracula’s attacks. The other is that you can chow down on fermented soy beans and the one solitary taco in the game to keep your health topped up, and if the mental image of a Belmont pausing mid-Dracula-battle to wolf down a taco doesn’t make you smile then there’s something wrong with you.
Perhaps feeling slightly embarrassed to be involved with this game, Dracula forgoes his usual second form transformation and goes straight to the “not actually being killed” part of most Castlevania games. The day is saved, Desmond swears that there’ll always be another, more competent Belmont around to stop Dracula and Castlevania: Order of Shadows is over.
You get a bit of epilogue text explaining that Castlevania is still around, and then a picture of Desmond looking at the castle. He seems to be wearing shorts. Look, after a long day of monster-slaying and making the game think you’re standing on a platform when you’re actually levitating nearby, the first thing you’ll want to do is slip into some more comfortable clothes.
Well, that was a heck of a thing, wasn’t it? It tried, bless it, but Castlevania: Order of Shadows ended up being somehow worse than I expected. On a basic level it’s a real chore to play, with no sense of power behind any of your attacks and none of the relentless, rhythmic aggression of the classic Castlevanias. It seems to be caught in two minds, unable to decide whether it wants to be a more open explore-em-up like Symphony of the Night or a straight-ahead action-platformer, and sadly it fails at both. The controls are awful, the graphics mostly bland and the music – and this is a cardinal sin for a Castlevania game – is terrible. Once you’ve cleared the game you are given the option to switch on “Classic” music, which replaces the soundtrack with music from the original NES Castlevania, but there are two problems with that: coming from a mobile phone it’s a horrible squeaky mess, and to hear it you’d have to play Castlevania: Order of Shadows again. Nobody should have to suffer through that.
Really the only saving grace is that the game is so easy, with the infinite lives and very generous checkpoints. If the game had been any more difficult I doubt I’d have had the willpower to finish it. Not when I was controlling what feels like Pinocchio if he said “I wish I was not quite a real boy.” So, in conclusion, Castlevania: Order of Shadows is a bad game. Probably could have saved myself three and a half thousands words there, huh?
As for the Halloween-O-Meter, this game was difficult to rank. I mean, it is technically a Castlevania game and that usually means a guaranteed ten out of ten, but because C:OoS is lacking in so many departments I think an eight is the highest I can go. It’s got witches and bats and malevolent hovering skulls, but it’s missing that certain something that would push it higher.
Rescuing a devil-worshipping band in Seikima II: Akuma no Gyakushuu!
My phone from the time wouldn;t have been able to handle it either, which I suppose is a blessing.
Whoever carved that statue of Simon Belmont must have been a big fan of Haunted Castle. It looks a lot like his sprite from that game.
No surprise he'd dead, then, that game's bloody impossible.
Ah yes, one of the more mysterious CV games from when I was in high school. A shame that it's not actually very good.
I'm happy to have solved a mystery, at least.
Could you explain how did you run it? I remember trying to run Java games on Android a few years ago but I never managed in the end. I don't remember if I ever tried on Windows (even if it's XP, you could always turn to a VM if Win10 is not good enough).
I liked those Java games, their old school feel, the input with actual keys, even if those keys are just a numpad. I'm not a fan of games with touch as a main control, and much less of the mindless mobile games of today. Anyway, I fondly remember those games "Afraid of the Dark" or something, where you had to navigate the levels making sure your path was illuminated, for there were "things" lurking in the shadows. Man, I never thought you could make a simple mobile game in java so spooky. Great ambience. They were by Rovio I think, before all the Angry Birds shitshow. The Doom RPGs were good too and, although short, the Splinter Cell games were cool too.
I used a program called Kemulator on a Windows Vista machine and messed with the config files a bit. And yeah,I definitely played more phone games when they used proper butons, I've got big hands.
It seems Konami is working on a mobile game that's going to be similar to Harmony of Despair. It's probably going to be a far cry from a honest-to-goodness Castlevania, but at least they didn't completely give up on making more games, right?
As one of the apparently few people who enjoyed Harmony of Despair, I'm not sure how to feel about this news.
I imagine story and premise would still be better than Lords of Shadow 2.
This really does take me back to the Java gaming days. I spent a lot of time on the Prince of Persia games,Ubisoft had a surprisingly firm grip on the "Java games based on console games" market for a few years.
Yeah, some of them look pretty good, I'd probably get into them more if they weren't such a pain to run.
This fits right in with all the bootleg games you cover that are patched together with graphics from other games.
Yep, Desmond is very much a Poundland Belmont.
Desmond looks like Lion-O from the Thundercats reboot.

Why Do Large Ionized Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Not Lose CH?
Home » Topics » Pulmonary Hypertension » Research » Why Do Large Ionized Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Not Lose CH?
Summary of "Why Do Large Ionized Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Not Lose CH?"
The reaction mechanisms for the loss of C2H2 from the ions of anthracene, phenanthrene, tetracene and pyrene were calculated at the B3-LYP/6-311++G(2d,p) level of theory and compared to that previously published for ionized naphthalene. A common pathway emerged involving the isomerization of the molecular ions to azulene-containing analogues, followed by the contraction of the seven-member ring into a five- and four-member fused ring system, leading to the cleavage of C2H2. The key transition state was found to be for this last process, and its relative energy was consistent going from naphthalene to tetracene. That for pyrene, though, was significantly higher due to the inability of the azulene moiety to achieve a stable conformation because of the presence of the three fused rings. Thus, C2H2 loss is discriminated against in pericondensed PAHs. For catacondensed PAHs, C2H2 loss also drops in relative abundance as the PAH gets larger due to the increase in the number of available hydrogen atoms, increasing the rate constant for H atom loss over that for C2H2 loss as PAH size increases. The unimolecular reactions of four cyano-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) ions were also probed as a function of collision energy by collision-induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry. As the size of the ring-system increases HCN loss decrease in importance relative to other processes (H and C2H2 loss). 9-cyanophenanthrene ions were chosen for further exploration by theory and imaging photoelectron photoion coincidence (iPEPICO) spectroscopy. The calculated reaction pathway and energetics for C2H2 loss were consistent with those found above. The calculations suggest that larger PAHs of interest in the interstellar environment will behave independently of a CN substituent.

In order to capture this shot I used my a Nikon D810 with a Zeiss Distagon 25mm. Using a long exposure, I was able to capture the mood, with the reflections of the buildings in the bay adding depth and dimension to the scene.
Coming in on a hush, a snowstorm sweeps across horse country in Chester County, dusting an outbuilding near Route 82. A tree, likely planted to give shade during the long, hot days of summer as well as a place for birds to nest, gives the scene a visual anchor.
Philly has a special atmosphere. An amazing city with a real vibe. You can almost feel the electricity in the skyline. The reflected light and an 8 second exposure gave the image the quality that I was looking for. With so many shades, textures and lights this composition really says Philadelphia.

Aboriginal people doing NRM ‘work on country’ within the Avon River Basin region on sites that are significant to the Aboriginal community.
The Noongar Boodja Rangers are continuing to flourish with 50 community members actively participating in the program.
The Ranger program aims to give unemployed members of the Aboriginal community the opportunity to get back ‘on country’ doing natural resource management work.
Over the last year, 20 full days of work have been undertaken including cleaning up important sites such as Burlong Park in Northam, assisting Aboriginal land managers with planting bush tucker trials, and establishing a ‘six seasons’ bush tucker garden at Northam Senior High School.
One of the most exciting developments has been securing a contract with the Shire of Northam to carry out ongoing maintenance at Burlong Park. The Rangers have also been helping the Department of Parks and Wildlife with surveying threatened Black-flanked Rock-wallabies at Nangeen Hill Nature Reserve. They also recently undertook training with the Department of Aboriginal Affairs and carried out a site assessment for a gnamma hole in consideration as an Aboriginal heritage site.
By building the capacity and reputation of the Noongar Boodja Rangers it is hoped that the team will slowly and steadily become a business enterprise managed by the local community.

This is another handmade gift that I made for someone this year.
We wanted to find something that would work for a stuffed animal in a fantasy book, but we didn't ever see anything that we thought would work. So, I decided to make something.
I have an amazing book with patterns for stuffed toys for children. I would highly recommend it. I've made the rabbit and the horse now and I'm thinking about making some more of the toys. I've no idea who I'm going to make it for yet, but I am still going to make it.
The book is called 'Storybook toys' by Jill Hamor.
Here is some pictures of the pegasus I made. The pattern is just for a horse, so I had to make my own pattern for the wings. It was fairly easy.
The mane before attaching longer pieces.
Attaching the underbody to the legs and head.
Attaching it all together. Inside out of course.This was the hard part. Making sure it all went together well.
All together with the wings before turning it right side out.
All turned around, before stuffing.
I stuffed it and decided I didn't like the mane that the patterns suggested. So I added more hair to it. Little girls want to play with hair on all their calls.
Attached button eyes, stuffed and sewn together.
I had fun making this and I learned a lot about making stuffed toys and I am making plans to make some more stuffed dolls. Human ones this time. I made a bunny previously but never did get a picture of it.

What makes me different from other agencies? Be assured that you will always be taken care of by a pro – that is to say by me.
Why do I explicitly mention that? Because my experience showed, that very often charismatic people secure a deal with a client, whereas in the daily business the client is being taken care of by trainees or job beginners.
Why will I be able to succeed with a different approach? I focus on a maximum of four clients only. This way I can guarantee that every client gets the best professional service since I can personally work for every client myself.
Why is this important to me? Because I love my job and do it with passion. I am also convinced that today good quality is more important than ever and it pays off.

"rub hard," early 15c., earlier shrubben (c. 1300), perhaps from Middle Dutch or Middle Low German schrubben "to scrub," or from an unrecorded Old English cognate, or from a Scandinavian source (such as Danish skrubbe "to scrub"), probably ultimately from the Proto-Germanic root of shrub, used as a cleaning tool (compare the evolution of broom, brush (n.1)).
late 14c., "low, stunted tree," variant of shrobbe (see shrub), perhaps influenced by a Scandinavian word (such as Danish dialectal skrub "a stunted tree, brushwood"). Collective sense "brush, shrubs" is attested from 1805. As an adjective from 1710. Scrub oak recorded from 1766.
Transferred sense of "mean, insignificant fellow" is from 1580s; U.S. sports meaning "athlete not on the varsity team" is recorded from 1892, probably from this, but compare scrub "hard-working servant, drudge" (1709), perhaps from influence of scrub (v.).

The Key to Employee Engagement – Chatbots?
But aren’t those machines taking over more and more frontline services normally handled by people? Won’t employees be demoralized to find robots performing some of their most “human” of tasks – interacting with customers?
Ian Jacobs, a leading analyst at Forrester Research, and I recently addressed precisely those issues. Jacobs made the case for chatbot AI as a powerful force multiplier, which actually increases employee motivation.

A statement by the state run Xinhua Agency made it quite resolutely clear - they still see the Dalai Lama as a 'splittist' who has no place in the Greater China sphere.
And this is is always tricky as we have one 'spliitist' in the Dalai Lama, and the 'split-ed' (albeit now seemingly and gradually 'unifying' Taiwan together in the same media spotlight. Result - kneejerk Chinese reaction although this time the Chinese improved their tact. From the Reuters report in the Straits Times..."As with a denunciation it issued when the visit was announced last week, China focused its criticism on the opposition Democratic Progressive Party.By not blaming Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou or the ruling Nationalist Party (KMT), Beijing may have indicated that it does not wish to escalate the issue."
BEIJING - CHINA denounced the Dalai Lama's trip to Taiwan, saying the visit by a man Beijing brands a separatist could 'have a negative influence' on relations between the mainland and Taiwan, state media reported on Monday.
The Tibetan spiritual leader arrived on Sunday in Taiwan, a self-ruled island claimed by Beijing, for a hasty visit to comfort victims of a typhoon.
As with a denunciation it issued when the visit was announced last week, China focused its criticism on the opposition Democratic Progressive Party.
By not blaming Taiwan President Ma Ying-jeou or the ruling Nationalist Party (KMT), Beijing may have indicated that it does not wish to escalate the issue.
'The Democratic Progressive Party has ulterior motives to instigate the Dalai Lama's visit to Taiwan, who has long been engaged in separatist activities,' a spokesman for the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office was quoted as saying by Xinhua news agency.
'We resolutely oppose this and our position is firm and clear,' the spokesman said. 'The Dalai Lama's visit to Taiwan is bound to have a negative influence on the relations between the mainland and Taiwan.' China is considered unlikely to retaliate by choking off growing economic ties between the long-time political rivals.
China opposes the Dalai Lama's trips abroad and condemned Taiwan opposition leaders for inviting him last week to visit until Friday. He will pray for victims of Typhoon Morakot, Taiwan's worst storm in 50 years which killed up to 745 people.
China has denounced a proposed visit to Taiwan by the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, saying it threatens to "sabotage" improving relations between the two states.
Taiwan, the self-ruled island claimed by Beijing, approved the visit by the Nobel Peace laureate to comfort victims of deadly Typhoon Morakot that struck earlier this month and devastated parts of southern Kaohsiung county.
China said it was "resolutely opposed" to Thursday's visit, in a statement carried by the state-run Xinhua news agency on Thursday.
The Chinese government considers the Dalai Lama a "splittist" for promoting autonomy in Tibet.

Step One in Natren's three-step custom probiotic system to aid digestion naturally.
Megadophilus is step one in Natren's three-step custom probiotic system. This Lactobacillus acidophilus probiotic product provides support to the small intestine.
Natren's Megadophilus was the first genuine probiotic, ushering in the entire category of dietary probiotic supplements and introducing the term "probiotic" to North America. Natren was the first company to introduce a single strain concentrated Lactobacillus acidophilus powder requiring continuous refrigeration.
Prior to the introduction of Megadophilusin 1983, Lactobacillus was a catch all phrase for low potency, questionable and often outright inferior products including yogurt tablets, sweet acidophilus milk, and liquid acidophilus.
Natren Megadophilusis also revolutionary in that the live bacteria are kept in their original culturing medium, or supernatant.
Natren's Megadophilus probiotic supplement is recommended for adults and children over two years of age.
Other Ingredients: Organic garbanzo bean (chick pea) extract cellulose powder. Contains 22% organic ingredients. Contains no preservatives or artificial colors and flavors. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is the legal definition for all veggie capsules.

This brief book by well-published professor of psychiatry Joel Paris is a useful summary and critique of the current state of psychopharmacology. While it will certainly not satisfy every reader, especially those who cling to the reductionist biological model of mental illness, it presents many issues of concern to mental health professionals and patients. The book is presented in three sections, the first providing historical and scientific context and an exploration of the pharmaceutical industry, the second a review of practice issues for different classes of drugs and the third covering more general issues of alternatives, medicalization and a look at the future of psychopharmacology. None of the issues discussed are new, as the extensive reference list attests, but Paris has brought all these issues together in an accessible and readable overview.
One of the central points is that relatively little progress has been made in psychopharmacology since the development of the older antipsychotic and antidepressant agents in the 1950s. Talk of greater efficacy of the so called "second generation antipsychotic" agents is rather overstated, perhaps with the exception, but only a qualified exception, of clozapine. The principal advantage of the newer antidepressants is their grater tolerability and safety, not greater efficacy. And the anti-anxiety agents, mainly benzodiazepines are essentially unchanged in the last half century. Paris is at pains to point out that much of this is known to older psychiatrists like himself, but is well understood by younger psychiatrists who have been trained in the era of DSM III and IV, and the proliferation of diagnostic categories beyond any reasonable model of what is an is not a psychiatric illness.
A number of problems beleaguer the use of pharmacological agents in psychiatry, according to Paris. These include: the expansion of DSM categories; the lack of definitive diagnostic tests; the insidious emphasis of the pharmaceutical industry; epidemiological studies that use dubious criteria to 'find' high life time prevalence of mental illness; and the claims of some of Paris's psychiatric colleagues that the neurochemical basis of mental illness provides a scientific rationale for pharmacological treatment is established. It is obvious that these are related problems, and the sum of their parts is unsurprisingly a profession that struggles for legitimacy. Despite these problems Paris offers a view of psychiatry as offering useful pharmacological treatment for limited categories of problems. In the case of depression, for example, several meta-analyses have showed limited effectiveness of antidepressants, but when studies are limited to those with severe depression the picture is rather different. People with severe depression do show a response to medication. Similarly, antipsychotic medication offers genuine relief of symptoms to people with psychosis. The problem is that psychiatric drugs have been over-hyped by psychiatrists and by physicians in primary care. The result is that too many people are prescribed psychiatric drugs, and often for "off-label" indications for which there is no evidence base. A related problem is polypharmacy: the simultaneous prescription of multiple agents whose use in combination has not been adequately tested.
One of the strengths of this book is its comprehensive coverage. Arguments are not reduced to the merits or otherwise of particular drugs as they frequently are in scientific studies. Paris shows how an understanding of the conceptual and empirical weaknesses of psychiatry has been exploited by a cynical pharmaceutical industry, with psychiatrists complicit in touting the merits of various drugs far in excess of the evidence. Academic journals, too, have contributed to these problems, although Paris does not comment on this. Lax editorial policies around declarations of interest and lack of rigorous standards around acceptable research practice all contribute to misleading results.
Paris explores some of the controversies surrounding the more public aspects of debate about psychiatric drugs. He reviews the case of David Healy, whose job offer to the University of Toronto was rescinded following Healy's public lecture strongly critical of the claims of effectiveness of antidepressants. Paris also summarises the case of psychiatrist Fred Goodwin who failed to declare substantial payments for his work as an opinion leader. However this book is different to many others critical of psychiatry in that Paris is also prepared to critique the critics, such as Healy and Joanna Moncrieff, whose arguments he does not always support.
Late in the book Paris makes the mistake, common to many psychiatrists, of lumping authors critical of psychiatry together under the rubric of 'antipsychiatry'. These days 'antipsychiatry' owes its life as a concept more to defenders of psychiatry than to any spokesperson or group who identifies with 'antipsychiatry'. In Paris's case, the usual suspects of Foucault, Laing and Szasz are cited as the core of antipsychiatry. But Foucault was never part of the old antipsychiatry movement however much it might have drawn inspiration from his ideas. Szasz has always been as dismissive of antipsychiatry as he is of the idea of mental illness. Laing was definitely an anti-establishment psychiatrist, albeit one who continued to practice and attempted a reformulation of the concept of psychosis. Given the more nuanced critique of psychiatry over the past four decades (much of which is cited by Paris) 'antipsychiatry' is something of a paper tiger.
The Use and Misuse of Psychiatric Drugs deserves a place in every health sciences library. Prescribing clinicians should be aware of the influences behind the construction of diagnostic categories, and the modest evidence for the effectiveness of many commonly prescribed drugs. The long awaited revised DSM is unlikely to address the problem of proliferating "illnesses". Paris's recommendation to psychiatrists to "watch and wait" could lead to less unnecessary and futile prescriptions. Those responsible for the education of health professionals should be aware of the issues Paris raises, and should be appropriately cautious in reaching for the prescription pad in the belief that they are correcting a "chemical imbalance". Instead, they may be medicalizing distress and playing their own small part in extending the reach of psychopharmacology to problems with which it is ill-equipped to help.

The California state board of education has taken another step in its escalating battle with Superintendent of Public Instruction Bill Honig by hiring a lawyer to represent it in a dispute both sides say probably will end up in court.
The move last month followed the board's decision in September to assert its authority over the state education department's policies, budget, and key appointments.
A majority of board members, who were appointed by Mr. Honig's long-time nemesis, Gov. George Deukmejian, say they are simply laying claim to several powers that were vested in them by the state constitution and laws but have been usurped by Mr. Honig and his predecessors.
"In a nutshell, we really have in California a czar of education with no checks and balances on this huge expenditure of monies," the board's president, Joseph D. Carrabino, said last week.
But Mr. Honig last week said the board's actions "smacked of a coup'' and that the allegations of power-grabbing on his part is "political rhetoric." He said he was attempting to reconcile his differences with the board, but asserted that some board members seem determined to force a conflict and "basically want to run" the education department.
Specifically, the board has said it is reclaiming the power to review all the department's policy statements and annual operating budget, and to adopt its own operating budget, which would be increased this year from $600,000 to $900,000.
The board also has asserted the right to appoint a deputy superintendent, three associate superintendents, and an acting secretary who will act as the board's executive officer when the superintendent leaves the state.
Mr. Honig's argument that the board majority's actions were politiy motivated was echoed last week by Kenneth L. Peters, a retired superintendent of the Beverly Hills schools and a member of the board. Mr. Peters, a Republican, was in the minority when the board voted 8 to 2 at its September meeting to assert the budgetary and appointment powers it claims.
Describing the board as a whole as "strongly Republican," Mr. Peters said the other members took up the policy changes too quickly and without advance notice, and seemed to be deliberately trying to catch Mr. Honig off guard.
But Mr. Carrabino denies any political motivation in his challenge to Mr. Honig's power.
"You don't have to be a Democrat or a Republican to see the waste and dropout rates," he said, asserting that the policies were approved because recent appointments have given the board "a group that has the gumption" to challenge Mr. Honig.
Mr. Carrabino said the board's actions were spurred by a report issued in February by the state's Commission on California State Government Organization and Economy, or "Little Hoover Commission."
The commission concluded that the superintendent had circumvented the state's regulatory process by issuing without board approval policy guidelines with the effect of regulations. It also said the superiority of the board to the superintendent should be validated by giving the board approval authority over the state's proposed education budget.
Mr. Carrabino said the board also needs control over its own budget because the superintendent has not funded it adequately to hire the personnel to fulfill its functions.
The board hired Howard L. Dickstein, general counsel to the commission, to represent it against Mr. Honig. The superintendent agreed to allow the move, however, only on the condition that Mr. Dickstein's services be limited to the argument over specific constitutional issues and that he be prevented from going on "a fishing mission."
Mr. Honig, meanwhile, last week called the Little Hoover Commission report an inflammatory political document filled with unsubstantiated charges and asserted his right to continue to issue policy guidelines.
William L. Ruckeyser, special assistant to Mr. Honig, said the board has erred in its legal arguments because statutes enacted with the creation of the state department in 1921 made the superintendent the chief officer of the agency and the board its appendage.

Today has been proclaimed Mike Stokes Day at Baker High School. All he did was: Sink a 55-foot shot as the buzzer sounded in an overtime period to give Baker a 64-62 win over Jordan a win which earned the Lions the Bi-City championship and extended their unbeaten season through 23 games. Just incidental to these facts were his total of 22 points, game high, and eight rebounds, tops for the team.

This month’s issue, January 1967, didn’t have a ton of projects I was dedicated to make, but one of the ones I did decide to do was this adorable baby sweater.
Here is a little fact I may have mentioned before, I’m not a sweater maker. I’ve only ever made, and finished, three sweaters before in my life. I also kinda made a vest. But I really wanted to make this sweater. It had a stitch pattern which adds to my chance of completion, and it is small, which increases my chances even more.
And with this skein it happened, and happened, and happened. Just over and over again. I couldn’t believe with such a popular, basic yarn that it would happen SO much.
I started this sweater last weekend, worked on it a little at a time while watching TV and such, and finished it this weekend!
It totally looks like a sweater! Accomplishment!!
The instructions were all very easy to follow. The stitch pattern was easy but kept it from being tedious, was easy to memorize, and created a really cute pattern. I accidentally messed up the button holes, forgot to start them in the ribbing in the bottom, so I just started them above the ribbing and spaced them evenly. The sleeves were also very easy. The sleeves were so easy in fact that I managed to knit one with two 9 year old boys in the same room, with both the computer and tv going in addition to the usual racket two 9 year olds make!
After the main sweater was done I had one tiny problem with the neckline. The pattern said to pick up four stitches on each side, and despite all my numbers being right so far, four just wasn’t enough. I needed to pick up six stitches to not have glaring holes. That was the only time in the whole sweater that anything didn’t work exactly as the pattern said.
I have to say, my seams were awesome! I’m not always great at sewing up seams on knit items, but I stood up and cheered after completing this! Here’s to practice!!
It came out adorable! Like a little man sweater, that would also look great on a girl. Just so stinking cute. Makes me wish I was keeping it. I added yellow round buttons instead of the ducks the pattern called for, and I sewed in a little “hand made” label. Sonce drawstrings are avoided on kids clothes these days I didn’t add it, and it really isn’t needed.
I feel like this is a great example of why I love the Workbasket. The patterns are just so timeless. This is a 50 year old pattern that still can be made today. Some magazines had such fads that the only real value is laughs, but not the Workbasket!
I’m very proud of this sweater. I really feel like if you picked it up you would think it was from a fancy baby store, and not handmade with stashed mass market acrylic yarn. The time it took to make was great too! You could start upon receiving a baby shower invitation and have it done in time for the shower!
2. Knit one purl one across row.
The back side creates a gentle nubby fabric that would be great for washclothes and dishclothes. Or two layers thick would be a great hot pad!
And now that this sweater is done I’m already on to the next project! Crochet hook in hand and working on a hot pad!
Wow, that is a very nice looking sweater and the yarn looks good too. I wish I had that pattern. Unfortunately, I don’t have that issue.
The sweater is darling. The stitch is known as a Shaker rib. It probably has other names as well, like most knitting stitches do.

Collins, 66, performed at the venue earlier in June using a cane and leaning against the piano.
Singer Phil Collins is receiving treatment in hospital after suffering a "nasty" fall. The injury has forced the In The Air Tonight singer to postpone upcoming shows at London's Royal Albert Hall.
In a statement, a rep confirmed that Collins, 66, tripped on a step in his London hotel room while on the way to the toilet. The slip caused the former Genesis rocker to hit his head on a chair, leaving a nasty gash on his forehead close to his eye that requires stitches.
Although the spokesperson says Collins is "recovering well", a source told The Sun that the singer is "in a bad way", adding: "He is conscious and talking, but he is frustrated and upset about having to cancel in his gigs. He is keen to get out performing again as soon as possible, but the fall was quite nasty and he needs time to heal and rest up. He is struggling with his limited mobility as he has loved being on stage these past few days."
Collins had been due to headline the Royal Albert Hall on 8 and 9 June, but these dates have now been postponed until 26 and 27 November respectively.
The rep added in the statement: "Phil sends his sincere apologies and thanks to fans. He has had a fantastic week at his first shows in 10 years, cannot thank people enough for their warm reaction and is excited to return... He will carry on with this tour on Sunday in Cologne and then Paris before returning to London for his headline performance and BST Hyde Park on 30 June."
At his recent Royal Albert Hall shows, Collins was seen using a cane on-stage and sitting down during performances. His spokesperson revealed the singer suffers from "drop foot", caused by a back operation that makes it difficult to walk. Collins is in the midst of a sold-out comeback tour, which will move onto Cologne, Germany and Paris, France later in the month. The Against All Odds singer retired from music in 2011 after nerve damage left him unable to play the drums.
Phil Collins to headline British Summertime Hyde Park 2017 but is Glastonbury next?

How To Merge Your Facebook Pages?
1 How To Merge Your Facebook Pages?
Hi friends, Many of my friends asked me about Merging Facebook Pages. Here is the Trick. This article will help you to Merge Your Facebook Pages.
Facebook pages are a tool for brands and businesses to connect to their clients. Therefore there are a lot of pages on Facebook that people like and follow. These pages are maintained by admins, who have the right to control the page as well as publish content. Sometimes admins have more than pages. If these pages are for the similar purpose, admins would rather want to merge the pages together to engage more audience. In this way, admins can join the likes and check-ins of both pages into a single Facebook page. It reduces management work. We have listed all the necessary information and simple steps to merge Facebook pages.
Facebook merges those pages that have a related name as well as seem to represent the same thing. Therefore, it is necessary to make changes in your pages before merging them.
Modify the names of the pages to the same. If it isn’t possible, then make them as similar as possible. For example, Tecfever and Tec Fever both are almost similar possible to merge.
Also, update the about section with related information. It probably may be your website, address.
Note: You would probably require merging the page with fewer likes into the one with more likes. So before beginning the process, we advise you to download all the important photos and stuff that you need.
Step 2. Select the pages you need to merge.
Step 3. Now, Select “Merge Pages”.
Hence, now you will get a single Facebook page with combined likes as well as check-ins.
According to Facebook page policies, we can merge pages on Facebook with similar names. So If you want to merge pages with different names, then you have to make some changes.
If we have two distinct name page, 1st is of Tecfever Name, and 2nd is for TECAdmin. Now Suppose I want to merge TECAdmin into Tecfever.
Then we need to change TECAdmin’s page name to Tecfever. If the page name is too different, then change the name in 2 or 3 processes.
We can adjust these name changing requests as our page name and similarity.
If you want to Change, Facebook Page Name Follow Below Given guide.
When Facebook page confirms merging more than 5 or 6 pages. Then, Facebook limits automatic merging. Therefore, to solve this error, you can attempt two methods.
This method is very powerful in removing the error “Pages can’t be merged.” And it is a premium.
This method requires filling a form for the manual merging of Facebook pages. Check out the link below for the form.
Note: – The is only available for few account. To access this form, you need to perform a little task. We have done this to reduce bogus request on the form. We have explained the whole process in document file you will receive from above link.
If you want merge page with more likes into less or 0 like for the page, it doesn’t need to continue with any other method.
We hope that this will guide on how to merge Facebook pages. We give our best to explain the processes and methods related to merging Facebook pages. For any assistance or query, feel free to write to us in comments below.
We hope this method will help you to Merge Your Facebook Pages. Share it with your friends and help them. If you face any problem, you can comment here. We are always here to help you.

TORONTO (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar weakened slightly against its U.S. counterpart on Wednesday as a sharp drop in oil prices offset broader losses for the greenback amid U.S. election uncertainty.
The U.S. dollar .DXY weakened against a basket of major currencies on nervousness about a potential victory for U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump next week.
“The pressure on the big (U.S.) dollar is buffering the downturn in oil and helping the Canadian dollar remain well pinned within its recent ranges over the past few days,” said Scott Smith, senior market analyst at Cambridge Global Payments.
The Canadian dollar CAD=D4 ended at C$1.3395 to the greenback, or 74.65 U.S. cents, slightly weaker than Tuesday’s close of C$1.3393, or 74.67 U.S. cents.
The currency’s strongest level of the session was C$1.3360, while its weakest was C$1.3423.
The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged in its last policy decision before the U.S. election, but signaled it could hike rates in December as the economy gathers momentum and inflation picks up.
A Trump election win that is accompanied by greater market volatility would reduce the chances of a Fed rate hike in December, said Smith.
Against the Mexican peso CADMXN=R the loonie touched its strongest since Oct. 10 at 14.5472 pesos.
The peso is seen as the chief proxy for market pricing of Trump’s chances of winning.
Strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the peso adds to pressure on Canadian exporters who have struggled with weak growth this year. Canada competes with Mexico for exports to the United States.
Canadian government bond prices were higher across the yield curve in sympathy with U.S. Treasuries. The two-year CA2YT=RR price firmed 2 Canadian cents to yield 0.543 percent and the benchmark 10-year CA10YT=RR climbed 22 Canadian cents to yield 1.184 percent.
The 10-year yield hit its lowest intraday since Oct. 26 at 1.170 percent.
The Bank of Canada will in the coming months publish the results of its experiment with a payments system based on the technology behind the bitcoin virtual currency, Carolyn Wilkins, senior deputy governor of the Bank of Canada, said.

I am totally disgusted by BART’s use of money to unnecessarily retrofit the Transbay Tube. Even BART spokesperson Anna Duckworth said in her letter to the editor that it would take a very large and very rare earthquake in order for this retrofit to be necessary.
BART is in severe need of funds for multiple reasons. In my opinion, BART doesn’t run often enough or long enough. The new trains are overdue and have been delayed in their launch. Meanwhile, BART wastes large amounts of money on things like this ridiculous retrofit and overpaying both its executives and most workers. Some workers could easily be eliminated, starting with station agents in all locations aside from Downtown Oakland and San Francisco.
I grew up riding the L in Chicago, as my family didn’t have a car. I’ve also ridden the subway in New York extensively, and I’ve ridden the subways in Boston and Philadelphia. BART is by far the worst public transit system I’ve ever ridden. Trains are way too far apart most times, especially during rush hour. The trains are not long enough, people are sometimes forced to stand, and the trains are often uncomfortably crowded.
Now, those who run BART are going to waste millions of dollars and restrict train service even further by performing a totally unnecessary retrofit of the Transbay Tube. BART should prioritize running as many trains as possible as often as possible and other similar issues above all else. We badly need a BART riders’ union to represent those of us who ride BART regularly and are directly impacted by its policies.
I am thoroughly disenchanted with BART and only ride it because I’m a committed environmentalist who doesn’t want to consume or burn fossil fuels. If there were an alternative train system, I would certainly be using it; it couldn’t be worse than BART and would almost certainly be a lot better.

Japanese writings have come to the contemporary readers, mostly through translations of the works of modern Japanese writers like Haruki Murakami and many others. However, like any other literary lineage, Japanese literature too, runs deep with a heavy influence of Chinese culture up on the earlier works, which were even written in Classical Chinese till about 1868 (the end of Endo period). Due to the Buddhist diffusion in Japanese culture, one can even find a certain amount of influence of Indian literature. However, with the passage of time an unique style of writing was developed, endemic to the Japanese culture, sensibilities and context. Going through various phases of literary progression from Nara literary period to Meiji and Taisho literary period (going over Heian, Kamakuro-Muramachi and Endo literary periods) one reaches the modern period in Japanese literature, where affected by the consequences and events of World War II we find, recurrent themes of disillusionment, disaffection and a loss of purpose. With writers ranging from Kōbō Abe, Hario Umekazi to debatably pop fiction of Haruki Murakami and nihilistic writings of Yukio Mishima, Japanese literature is a vast, unbound treasure of wonders to be explored endlessly.

These two franchises have had many matchups over the years and it is sure to be an entertaining contest on Sunday afternoon. It has been a roller coaster season thus far for the 3-3 New York Football Giants. After starting the season 0-2 people were calling for Coach Tom Coughlin to be fired and even talking about benching quarterback Eli Manning. Then they won 3 straight games in which Manning was magnificent and suddenly all was right with the world. Then they face off with the Eagles on Sunday Night Football and have one of the worst performances in team history. Eagles running back LeSean McCoy had been going through his worst season and yet erupted for 149 rushing yards against a Giants rush defense that was nowhere to be found. The Giants also suffered a devastating loss when leading receiver Victor Cruz was lost for the season with a leg injury he suffered while dropping a potential touchdown catch. The Cowboys have been a passing team throughout Tony Romo’s tenure as starting quarterback. The team had a terrible offensive line in front of him for several years and slowly started to rebuild the line through the draft. They now feature a young offensive line that is not only capable of blocking in pass protection for Romo but also in run blocking.
Demarco Murray has been the biggest benefactor of the team rebuilding the offensive line and trying to put less pressure on Romo. For the last few seasons the play action passing game has been largely ineffective because the running game was never considered a serious threat. Now thanks to Murray and his preposterous 785 rushing yards through 6 games, the team is able to preserve Romo and allow the teams running game to dictate the offense. Murray has joined Jim Brown as the only running back ever to start the season with 6 consecutive 100 yard rushing games. The combination of a dramatically improved offense and a defense that may bend but does not break has led the team to first place in the NFC East with a 5-1 record. This was never more evident than in last weeks win vs. the defending Superbowl champion Seahawks who are very difficult to defeat at home in a game that they trailed 10-0 early on.
The Giants are a team that has shown it is capable of bouncing back after tough losses. It is going to be tough for Coach Coughlin and his staff to replace the intangibles and playmaking skills of Cruz. He was the only experienced receiver and his absence is going to put a lot of unexpected pressure on first round pick Odell Beckham who will likely take his place in the starting lineup. The team will have one rorokie starting at wide receiver and another starting at running back. With Rashard Jennings out again this week with a leg injury, rookie Andre Williams, who was relatively inefficient in his first start last week will again start at running back.

It turns out that people from the Central Mountains History Community are interested in our McLean branch too! See the comment from Kate at the bottom of the McLean chapter of our family story. I’ve quickly updated the chapter with some information she provided, and suspect there would be still more to find out about the McLeans in the archive at Wentworth Falls if anybody is keen enough to visit. The family lore in the James McLean branch about John Sheils being an Alderman on the Leura or Katoomba Council turns out to refer to his nephew Alfred Craig instead, brother of Florence Craig who married WCD Forster – unless there were indeed two Aldermen in the family.
And NOW I’m getting back to the James Beatty of Fermanagh brick wall!
I’m sure now that Mary Jane McLean (and probably her mother nee Eliza Boak) lived at Woodford House in 1869 with Janey’s elder half-sister Margaret Shiels and her husband John Shiels. I don’t think they owned it but managed the house for the owner. This is also where William Mark Forster married Mary Jane in 1869. You need to imagine the shingle roof though apparently the building hasn’t changed much otherwise.
There was little else at Woodford in the 1860s in any case. Even the new railway station wasn’t called “Woodford” until 1871.
A footnote to this is the disappearance after Oct 1869 of not only Eliza McLean but also John Sheils. His wife Margaret is evidently managing properties in Bathurst without him by 1873. Does anybody know where he went?
What do you think? I was going to post about James McLean, but this is already too long.
Thanks so much to a couple of you who got back with comments regarding my previous post. It encourages me to peg on!

On the page dealing with the Law on house-to-house collections we've described the House to House Collections Act 1939 and how it regulates charitable house-to-house collections. Here's a quick summary . . .
The Act applies to all of England and Wales.
In Greater London, the police are responsible for the licensing (not councils).
Around 43 large charities (eg Oxfam) have 'National Exemption Orders' (so they don't need local council licences).
Charitable collections are just one of many activities which are dealt with by the licensing departments of local councils. They also license taxis, alcohol, entertainment, gambling, pet shops etc - see the page on other licensing regimes.
Under the 1939 Act, anyone wanting to carry out a collection has to get a licence off the council beforehand (otherwise it would be unlicensed - and illegal).
There's no fee for submitting an application.
Application forms - First, the collector submits a written application for a licence to the council(s) concerned. Most councils have produced a standard application form for this purpose. Usually these can be downloaded from their websites (eg as Acrobat PDF files).
The completed application form is received by the council.
Details of the application are entered in the register of applications.
Staff investigate the collector and any associated charity.
Sometimes the council will ask the applicant to supply more information (see below).
Then the council makes its decision - to approve or refuse the application.
The council writes to the applicant telling them of the decision.
Requests for more information - Councils may defer a decision because they feel the information supplied by the applicant is inadequate. They write back to the applicant specifying what else is needed. Sometimes this happens with dubious collectors who (for example) don't say what proportion of the proceeds will go to the good cause. If the applicant fails to supply this information, the council can refuse the application - citing lack of information as the reason. Alternatively, the collector may withdraw his application.
Approval or refusal - who decides?
Some councils leave the decision to a committee of elected councillors.
You can see examples via Google - of council meeting agendas, minutes etc dealing with collections - eg by Clothes Aid.
Other councils have delegated the power to officers.
Refusal - If a council refuses an application, they'll give their reasons.
The collector has 14 days to appeal to the Secretary of State (central government). Since 2006 this has been the minister at the Cabinet Office.
Approval - If a council approves an application, the collector has to follow certain procedures - mostly designed to minimise fraud.
This is straightforward with cash collections - but it's more difficult with clothing collections. Some council websites have a downloadable "returns" form for collectors to use. Some now allow you to complete the form online.
Paperwork - Each licence application generates paperwork. So, many councils use a folder for each application. Councils may keep the paperwork for several years.
A small (but increasing) number of councils have converted to electronic storage - they scan licence correspondence and use optical character recognition (OCR) software.
In some areas, councils have joined together to set up licensing partnerships. These process applications for several councils. This allows them to have more sophisticated systems and reduces costs.
'HTH' above stands for house to house. 'ENC' stands for East Northants Council.
Almost all councils keep a register (list) of applications for collection licences. Most of these registers are computerised.
For details - please see the page on registers of applications for collection licences.
Also see the page on Freedom of Information (FoI) and open government.
Almost all councils keep a diary of current/future collection licences. Some of these are on their websites (eg Bedford Borough Council, East Northamptonshire Council, Selby District Council).
See the page: Councils' diaries of collection licences.
Councils are required to take adequate steps to monitor charitable collections which take place in their area. Where this reveals problems, the council can take enforcement action, including prosecution.

I used google translate because I did not speak it.
I find myself with this problem and I do not know how to solve it.
It is not processed properly, so I do not see the image.
Could you help me to solve if this is possible?

Search engines don’t mean to be discouraging, but sometimes they need to hand out penalties. In the past, these penalties were only given to websites that broke the terms of service search engines like Google and Yahoo had in place. Penalties were saved for extreme cases only, and only given out when Google and co. thought someone was trying to game the system and break the rules.
As search engines have progressed though, and their algorithms have become more detailed, the amount of penalties handed out has increased. The introduction of the Penguin, Panda and EMD upgrades has required Google to become much stricter in the way it hands out penalties. Duplicate content can now be enough to land you with a black mark against your site. You may feel bad about it, as if you’ve done something terribly wrong, but the truth is that these penalties are now being handed out like candy by Google. Websites can pick them up for minor things, things you didn’t even think were that serious.
Have you recently found out that your website is under penalty and sales and visitors are down significantly? Whether this comes under links, content or structure of the website, we can help get you out of this and have done for many client websites.
So, a penalty is just like a warning, right? A “don’t do it again or you’ll get told off,” sort of thing?
Unfortunately not. Google penalties can cause such a sharp decline in traffic that many websites have actually gone out of business. And sadly, we’re not even talking about a few here either. We’re talking about thousands of websites.
Google penalties are completely avoidable if you use good, clean SEO and respect the web. Sometimes though, due to bad advice or a desire to see results fast, you can become misled and end up doing something the search engines don’t like. Just like that you can receive a penalty that will completely change the way you go about your business. Your traffic levels will change, and in all likelihood so too will your income. Your only hope is to get rid of this black mark from your record and start again, this time on the right path. But how?
At SEO Moves, we offer a unique service that helps you put penalties behind you once and for all. As our team members have been studying everything web related for the past couple of decades, they know exactly what to do to get Google to forgive your site and give your business a second chance.
If you’ve made a marketing error somewhere along the way or have entrusted a company to work on your SEO for you and they’ve messed it up, there is a way back from the search engine wilderness.
Hundreds of companies have come to SEO Moves in order to have their search engines penalties recovered. These companies have committed all kinds of disallowed behaviours, yet have still been able to recover their businesses. The truth is, Google does want to forgive you and it does want you to be a success online. You just have to know how to prove to the search engine giants that you’ve “changed”. While you can’t do this with a letter or an email, you can do it by letting us put into practice our special techniques, which so far have helped countless other websites just like yours.
If you’re reading this now, don’t think this service means you can commit all the internet fouls you want. It doesn’t. It just means if you were unlucky or made a mistake, you can have it put right.
If you’ve received a penalty against your site, you may have seen your search ranking plummet. You may also have noticed far fewer visitors are frequenting your site. Both of these things are normal symptoms of a penalty, and can be career-ending for your site.
When your penalty has been recovered, your search engine ranking will go back to normal, and may even improve, especially if you’re using organic SEO techniques. You’ll also enjoy normal traffic levels again, which should spell great news for your bank balance. Some sites find traffic drops by 95% after a penalty, which can be devastating for business. This should be put right too when you make use of our service.
To find out exactly what we can do for you, why not get in touch today? Our friendly team would be happy to hear from you.

Normalize the Spring Street/Touro Street intersection: The present design of this central intersection does not support safe multi-modal transportation. Indeed, the engineering firm that conducted the City-requested traffic study was unable to accurately recreate the present intersection using traffic-modeling programs due to its extreme irregularity.
Better balance needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers: This Project is in complete alignment with City of Newport’s adopted “Complete Streets” policy and the State of Rhode Island’s Complete Streets Law. The City’s adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan also specifically addresses this need: “Policy T-1.1: The City shall develop a design guide that support[s] all modes of transportation and addresses the inclusion of pedestrians and bicyclists in new and existing road corridors, as specified in the City’s Complete Streets policy.” We share the City’s goal of improving safety for all who utilize our roadways.
Better serve special needs communities and City’s aging population: In accordance with Newport’s program to modify sidewalks at all intersections to meet ADA standards, major accessibility improvements are central to the Project’s site plan. This includes the addition of ADA-compliant sidewalks and the significant reduction of crosswalk distance (currently 196 feet using crosswalks and 99 feet if crossing illegally; proposal reduces to 18 feet to cross Spring Street).
Encourage use of Newport’s circulator roads: These traffic modifications will encourage visitors entering and leaving Newport to utilize its circulator roads, which have been significantly modernized to improve drive, bicyclist, and pedestrian safety, instead of its narrower downtown streets.

Watermelon is an extremely popular fruit. While we all enjoy eating this sweet refreshing fruit, we usually discard the tiny seeds scattered in it without realising or rather knowing of their health benefits.
These seeds are loaded with nutrients including fatty acids, essential proteins and lots of minerals. These seeds are rich in vitamin B like thiamine, niacin, folate and minerals like magnesium, potassium, manganese, iron, zinc, phosphorus and copper.
Besides, they are a great source of calories with 100 grammes of watermelon seeds providing around 600 grammes of calories.
Watermelon seeds, also called as ‘ tarbooj ke beej’ in Hindi are used in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines.
Roasted watermelon seeds are served as a snack or used to garnish salads. In Nigeria, they are used in certain soups.
As stated earlier, watermelon seeds are a rich source of nutrients and minerals and therefore, should not be discarded.
Your body requires amino acids but there are some essential amino acids such as arginine and lysine which the body cannot produce on its own and these have to be provided from food sources. Watermelon seeds contain somof these essential amino acids such as tryptophan and glutamic acids.
Lysine helps in calcium absorption to facilitate the formation of collagen and connective tissues in the body whereas arginine improves the body’s metabolism, cardiovascular system and s*xual health.
Watermelon seeds are good sources of magnesium with 100 grammes of seeds providing 139 percent of the recommended daily requirement.
These seeds can be used for treating diabetes. Boil a handful of watermelon seeds in a litre of water for 45 minutes, keeping the pot covered. This concoction should be taken every day like tea.
Almost half of the watermelon seed contains oil which comprises of 20 percent saturated fat and the rest monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat including omega-6 fatty acids.
One cup of dried watermelon seeds contains around 50 grammes of fat which constitutes about 80 percent of the daily recommended value. Thus, watermelon seeds are an important source of calories and energy.

put everything under the control of an obscure commission susceptible to pressure from various special interests to the detriment of taxi users at large!
The whole system works flawlessly and residents and tourists and conventioneers never have to wait for a cab, or search for one desperately, not that it matters because having your own car in SF is so easy.
You can see how great things are and how plentiful taxis have become by looking at the Taxicab Commission homepage photo above, showing a totally typical automobile lineup on your average San Francisco street.
Logically, the city has created yet another government committee to tweak this ingenuous system.
One way to fix everything might be to let drivers own their own medallions, as they do in New York after shelling out over half a million dollars per, so that drivers control their own livelihood, have an incentive to make maximum use of their cab and can even profit from the medallion sale.
Another solution is to transfer medallions from government bureaucrats to private taxicab companies, who can then dictate terms to their heavily immigrant workforce. Uhhh, hmmm. At least under this scheme there would be political pressure from taxicab companies to issue more medallions (as opposed to the New York system, where issuing more medallions means stealing medallion profits from heavily indebted immigrant drivers).
I never understood why we couldn't set up a program to bring in Oakland and Peninsula drivers during peak hours and seasons. The drivers could even be required to get a separate certification for SF.

I am an American Viniyoga Institute certified yoga teacher (500 hour) and an internationally certified yoga therapist (700 hour www.IAYT.org) located in Kailua-Kona, on the big island of Hawaii. I offer group yoga classes and individual yoga therapy. I hope this page helps you to find the appropriate application to suite your needs.
Yoga practice can serve you in many ways. We all can benefit from practice regardless of our physical condition or mental state.
All that is required is that we begin and sustain our practice. Some benefits may include; stress reduction, increasing the stability and/or flexibility of your structure, relief of back pain, and/or clarity of mind.
In addition to being a certified yoga therapist and teacher I have also completed a B.A. in dance from San Francisco State University. I have served as a faculty assistant for AVI teacher training and I was on staff as a yoga therapist at the offices of Richard Bernstein, DO for six years. I have worked in the realm of physical therapy as well as yoga therapy and integrate the best of Eastern and Western healing modalities in service of the client. My practice of yoga started as teenager in Santa Cruz, CA and continued to support me in my dance training. I began teaching yoga in 1999 after completing my basic 200 hour certification at the Kripalu Center in Lenox, MA. Since that time I have been blessed with opportunities to teach in Massachusetts, Vermont, Hawaii and Canada. After a traumatic back injury I was led to the therapeutic applications of Viniyoga which is based on the teachings of T. Krishnamacharya and T.K.V. Desikachar. Viniyoga helped me heal my own injuries and is still the foundation for my path to overall, health, balance and self realization. Viniyoga integrates yoga and ayurvedic principles, which can address all levels of your being; physical, energetic, mental, emotional and spiritual. My goal is “yoga for healing” that only requires you to, “start where you are”. I am excited to share this intelligent and comprehensive approach to yogic practice with all whom desire it.

AL, the qabbalistic key, preserves its value in Hebrew, Greek, and English (AQ). Its number is 31. The 31st prime is 127 = THELEMA = NUMBER = CRYPT.

According to Null’s studies (see his Web page at http://ggweather.com/enso.htm), weak, moderate or strong La Niña periods usually produce below-normal rainfall — typically about 87 percent of normal on the Central Coast, and even less in Southern California as the storm track is shifted northward.
However, last year’s La Niña cycle serves as a reminder that not all such events are created equal. Most locations throughout San Luis Obispo County recorded above-normal rainfall. Diablo Canyon had 28 inches, or 118 percent of normal. SLOweather.com in western San Luis Obispo recorded nearly 38 inches of rain, or about 158 percent of normal. Despite the above-average rain last season, the strongest storms with their destructive winds remain mostly north of the county in a classic La Niña fashion.
Because we never had above-normal precipitation from back-to-back La Niña cycles, I believe we will probably have below-normal rainfall this year.
Many folks base their long-range forecasts on strange natural events that seem to correlate with weather changes. For instance, several readers have commented on the early migrations of tarantula spiders in the North County, which may mean a wet winter.
Many meteorologists are skeptical, but the almanac sells nearly 4 million copies per year and does have a large climate database, so it can be a great tool in knowing when to plant your garden.
A Pacific weather system will cross Northern California today and will produce extensive coastal low clouds, fog and drizzle this morning throughout San Luis Obispo County.
The North County will have clear to partly cloudy skies by this afternoon. However, the beaches and the coastal valleys will see mostly overcast to partly cloudy skies for most of the day.
Maximum temperatures today should range from the low to mid-60s along the beaches. The coastal valleys should range from the high 60s to the low 70s, while the North County will only reach the low 80s.
This August and September have seen extensive drizzle along the beaches, especially the northwesterly facing beaches of Morro Bay, Los Osos and Montaña De Oro.
The SLOWeather.com weather reporting station in Baywood Park has recorded 0.18 inches of precipitation from fog and drizzle this season.
A trough of low pressure will pass over the Central Coast tonight into Monday morning and will produce a steep pressure gradient along the coastline.
This gradient will give strong to gale force (25- to 39-mph) northwesterly winds along the coastline and a greater amount of sunshine along the beaches Monday.
Fair skies and warmer temperatures are on tap for Tuesday, then warm temperatures Tuesday through Thursday as a high pressure ridge builds across California and a northerly (offshore) flow develops.
Sunny and warm beach weather, along with a high northwesterly swell is expected Wednesday.
Cooler temperatures are expected later this week with another round of increasing clouds and areas of drizzle next weekend.
The remnants of Hurricane Hillary could produce another round of thunderstorms by the first part of October.
Today’s 3- to 5-foot northwesterly (290-degree deep-water) swell (with an 8- to 11-second period) will remain at this height and period through Monday morning.
Strong to gale force (25- to 38-mph) northwesterly winds will produce a 4- to 6-foot northwesterly (310-degree deep-water) sea and swell (with a 4- to 11-second period) Monday afternoon through Tuesday.
A 970-millibar low-pressure system moving into British Columbia with hurricane-force winds will produce a 7- to 9-foot northwesterly (290-degree deep-water) swell (with an 8- to 15-second period) along our coastline Wednesday, decreasing to 5 to 7 feet Thursday.
This swell will further lower to 4 to 6 feet (with an 8- to 11-second period) Friday.
A large storm is expected to develop off the coast of New Zealand next week. If this storm develops as advertised, another Southern Hemisphere swell should arrive along our coastline by Oct. 4.
They’ll range between 58 and 61 degrees through Monday, decreasing to 57 and 60 degrees Tuesday, and will remain at this level through Friday.

Limited health literacy - the ability to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services - affects a patient's entire health care experience. Patients with low health literacy are more likely to skip preventive measures and require hospitalization.
According to the Institute of Medicine, nearly half of all American adults - 90 million people - have difficulty understanding and using health information. Health literacy is the ability to read, understand, and effectively use basic health information. Low health literacy affects people of any age, ethnicity, background, or education level.
UnityPoint Health works with hospitals, outpatient clinics, and home health teams to develop communication tools and implement strategies that help increase understanding and provide a better experience for our patients and their families.
These questions also help build an effective partnership between patients and their health care team, and clarify misunderstandings about medical needs and treatment. Ask Me 3 materials help patients and providers initiate communication and improve understanding.
Introducing and explaining Ask Me 3 to patients during the admission process.
Distributing Ask Me 3 materials in patient rooms and waiting areas.
Educating providers about Ask Me 3 through e-learning modules and employee orientation.
Providing patients with Ask Me 3 notepads to write down questions and answers.
Displaying Ask Me 3 posters throughout patient areas.
Advertising Ask Me 3 during Health Literacy Month.
Receiving patient and provider feedback about Ask Me 3 materials and procedures.
Patients were more likely to have questions and feel comfortable communicating with their physicians.
Hospitals and providers received noticeable improvements in patient satisfaction.
Ask Me 3 could be embedded into organizational strategies and routines with relative ease.

Errors of omission occur when a bookkeeping entry has been completely omitted from the accounting records.
Example, the payment 4,000 from a debtor has been omitted in both books.
Error of commission occurs when an item is entered to the correct type of account but the wrong account. For example is cash received of 2,000 from Nur is credited to the account of Nor.
An error of original entry occurs when an incorrect amount is posted to the correct accounts.
A particular example of an error of original entry is a transposition error where the numbers are not entered in the correct order. For example, if cash paid to a supplier of 2,140 was posted as 2,410 then the correcting entry of 270 would be.
A good indicator for a transposition error is that the difference (in this case 270) is divisible by 9.
As you can see, by right, the nature for sales account should always be at the credit side. Same goes to the cash account. When we made a cash sale, the cash receive will increase the the cash account (asset account). Then the rule is debit the cash account.
Why it is 800? Actually there are two transaction of 400 we have to make. The first transaction is to ‘zerorize’ both account. Taking out 400 from the sales by debiting the sales account and another 400 from the cash account by debiting the amount to cancel the originally entered figure.
The second transaction, is to record the normal transaction because all the said accounts are now at ‘zero’ state. You can see that when the second transaction is done, there were 2 same transaction just to correct the errors. The amount now is double!
The type of accounting errors that do not affect the trial balance are summarized in the table below.
Where possible all accounting errors should be identified and corrected, if the accounting errors are immaterial to the accounts then, as a last resort, the balance could be carried in the balance sheet on a suspense account or written off to the income statement as a sundry expense.

ISLAMABAD: Sindh Governor Imran Ismail Saturday said Prime Minister Imran Khan would soon announce a special package for the development of different districts of Sindh province.
The allegations regarding halting development funds for the province were baseless, he said while talking to a private news channel.
The governor said the mega city of Karachi would be given its due right and assured to complete its development projects.
Water was a serious issue of the big city, and the federal government had a plan to set up water treatment plants and work in that regard would be started soon, he added.
To a question, he said the opposition did not like the audit process.

The United States: NOT the Most Developed?
If and when we look at the community as a whole we can look at the underlying problems that the community has, investing our time into the actual root of the problem instead of the symptom. In doing so, we are improving all of the individuals in the community instead of pointing the finger. The United States likes to cure the symptoms and not the problem, this is apparent in the many systems of oppression that are apparent in our country. This is the only way that the status quo will remain for those to be in control and stay there. One major example would be our health care system that is based solely on wealth.
When it comes to our health care system in the United States, we should ask ourselves, “Who is actually benefitting from it?” Are you? If you are part of big pharma and believe in big pharma, then yes you are benefitting from our health care system. Those who cannot afford our health care system are suffering, because they cannot afford even to go to the doctor, let alone afford the medicine after they see the doctor. We can see other health care systems that are way more developed compared to the system that we are using. For instance, in countries like Australia, they have a mix between Universal Health Care system (public) and a Private Health Care system (insurance). Those that cannot afford the Private health care insurance can still get looked at and treated. On the other hand, those who earn more and CAN afford the private insurance have to pay an additional surcharge if they do not partake in the private health insurance (Medicare Levy Surcharge).
In countries like Great Britain and Germany, doctors focus on preventing illnesses before they come apparent and are paid to do so. They are paid by capitation, which is a system in which doctors have a set number of clients annually, regardless of how many times they see their patients or what services the doctors provide. This system is one of the best systems when it comes to preventing illnesses. If you were a doctor that was paid by capitation you would try to prevent any illnesses within your clientele, because that would mean you would see them less, which means less work for you and in turn you have a healthier population overall. So why doesn’t the United States partake in this system? One word: Profit.

Here are some of my latest Instagram posts!
Here are some of the makeup products I have been using over the past couple months! First this smashbox pallet (similar) is one of my go-tos because it has neutral colors that can also make a smokey eye! The pretty amazing lipstick trio's (similar) are another favorite because there is a bold pink, a mauve pink, and light pink, which go with any makeup look you want! I also love the Loreal Infallible Foundation because it has great coverage and staying power. I have also recently repurchased the eos lipbalm in the honeydew flavor and have been using it everyday!
Here are some things I've been eyeing for my next purchases! Click on each picture if you want to buy them too!
I celebrated my moms birthday with her by going to a nice brunch and then an art gallery! Sorry for the lack of posts, it's been a crazy week with school and getting ready for Halloween!

A successful stabilization of our Springs communities starts from the conception of the development process. John Minahan, Director of Multifamily Acquisitions, found the land and led our team through the development process. Sara Johnson, Senior Development Director, successfully completed a challenging rezoning of the community, and Larissa Addison, Corporate Counsel, executed on sale and loan transactions. Konrad Roznik, Construction Project Manager, oversaw our onsite construction efforts and delivered the community without any construction delays!
Casey Wells, our Community Manager, began her Continental career as Assistant Community Manager during the lease-up phase of Springs at Hurstbourne. Casey was promoted to Community Manager earlier this year and has since led us to a successful stabilization.
A successful stabilization is the result of an entire team effort and a One Team mantra. Congratulations, Team Continental!

In an interview with Tom Michael for Walker magazine, Cynthia Hopkins described becoming aware of her own human fragility while on a trip to the Arctic with Cape Farewell, a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness around climate change to spur cultural shifts leading to sustainable practices. Without markers of scale, distance became difficult to gauge, perspective shifting along with realizations of both the enormity of the landscape and, in comparison, the frail nature of one’s own life. In preparation for this weekend’s performances of This Clement World–and Saturday’s post-performance audience discussion, SpeakEasy, which takes place in the Balcony Bar–here’s a look at key issues at play in Hopkins’ work.
Where is she coming from?
Part documentary, part folk music-infused theater, part call to action, This Clement World addresses the global issue of climate change through a relatable, human-scaled lens. Hopkins frames her multidisciplinary performances as storytelling based in alchemy. Starting from a point of disturbance, she forces confrontations with personal demons and sociopolitical crises, plumbing this darkness to emerge bearing a message of hope, through theatrical productions that educate, stimulate, and entertain.
Through shifts from personal to global, Hopkins reveals a portrait of the human being in the world – unique and beautiful, but also responsible to the future, capable of change, and accountable for decisions. Describing influences in an interview for Bomb magazine from Bertolt Brecht to Tadeusz Kantor and Laurie Anderson, Hopkins situates herself in a lineage of theater practitioners who not only comment on social issues, but also self-reflexively draw attention to the act and allure of theatre-making itself. This Clement World entices through music, storytelling, and beautiful footage of the Arctic, but Hopkins also pushes back – directly addressing the audience about climate change and even questioning her own metaphors.
Hopkins draws from her own struggles with alcoholism and drug addiction to develop addiction as a metaphor for reliance on fossil fuels – a dependence on that which is causing our own slow, progressive destruction. This comparison brings forth both the challenge of weaning ourselves off fossil fuels and the possibility of self (and social) transformation through actively, diligently developing different practices. Her metaphor also manages to add a physical, bodily component to the climate issue. As a population becomes accustomed to the ease provided by fossil fuels, the more that is consumed, the more normalized the behavior becomes, the more we want, the more we need. Addressing climate change in this regard means assessing our own personal addictions and culpability. It means changing daily habits, overhauling systems, and perhaps altering other fundamental patterns – a consumer economy based on disposable commodities and the disproportionate over-use of resources by a relatively small proportion of the global population.
Underlying Hopkins’ metaphor is the luxury of inaction. Focusing on various other immediate crises, climate change may appear as a distant issue, a problem that we can get to later on. In A Conversation on Climate Change, the Walker brought together specialists to focus on the science surrounding this issue and the ramifications that are already being observed – changing weather patterns, melting Artic ice, the increase in instances of extreme weather. As Hopkins notes, this is a pressing issue and a significant time to be alive, for what is or is not done now will have considerable consequences for future generations.
In This Clement World Hopkins both relates her own experiences and becomes a variety of characters – an alien, a visitor from the future, and the ghost of a Native American woman murdered during the Sand Creek massacre in 1864. Each character provides a distinct perspective, a means of interfacing with the audience and another tactic for getting the point across that something needs to be done. In particular, although the ghost does not speak, her emergence brings forth one thread of a long history of environmental destruction intertwined with violence, where those with the least power endure the most. Turning from the grand suffering of the plant and future generations to the immediacy of violence, climate change might be viewed as the crest of a building wave poised to engulf individuals and whole communities. As this issue is addressed – or not – how will victims be represented, how might their stories be told, and by whom? In a conversation with Walker web editor Paul Schmelzer and meteorologist Paul Douglas, Hopkins highlights other aspects elaborated by this character – the interdependence of humans and the natural world, as well as the impermanence of a way of life, the inevitable change, by necessity or choice, of unsustainable practices.
According to a UN report, the world population is set to increase from 7 billion to 9 billion by 2050. This anticipated change means that if only small actions are taken, such work could easily be off-set by population growth alone. The concern goes beyond necessities such as water, energy, food, or land, to include the perpetuation of consumption habits. Isolating just one piece of this issue is telling – the United States currently houses less than 5% of the global population, but uses roughly a quarter of the world’s fossil fuel resources. At A Conversation on Climate Change, the immediacy of the issue and the need to do something now was brought to the fore, leading to the question of how to tackle such a massive personal – personal action, or perhaps a movement? More realistically, it was proposed that the incentive to change will likely come not from rhetoric of doing right by future generations, but rather profits to be made from solutions to impending, global crises.
Tackling climate change will likely lead to an array of debates around initiating and managing large-scale practices, yet the urgency to do something remains potent, for in this instance, both action and inaction have consequences.
Join us after the show on Saturday, March 9, in the McGuire Theater’s Balcony Bar for a SpeakEasy — an informal post-performance audience discussion. This week’s conversation will be facilitated by Walker Art Center tour guide Barbara Davey and choreographer Jennifer Arave.

Sing it Black returns to the Le Noir roof terrace with Jeff Jefferson x Joey G on the roof with House Music on the music menu on 8 December 2018.
It could be said that Jeff Jefferson was born for great things the son of no lesser then a Malaysian princess! However, his DJ career began in less illustrious roots, with him entertaining the troops in Germany during his time in the forces in the early nineties.
These early gigs got Jeff acclaim and lead to bookings throughout Europe during the early stages of the house music scene.
Jeff quickly established himself as a key DJ on the house scene playing legendary clubs such as SLAG, Wobble and most notably Miss Moneypennys. It was this heavyweight of international glamorous clubbing that really took notice of Jeff Jefferson’s talent and made him a fixture on all their key events around Europe.

How long can a person go without sleep? The world record is apparently 11 days. However, when Randy Gardner set that record in 1965, he may have been awake during the time, but he was basically ‘cognitively dysfunctional’. If perhaps Gardner went beyond two weeks he would likely have died.
Some animals appear to be awake all the time. Whales and dolphins (i.e. Cetaceans) need to remain awake because they need to periodically come up to the surface to breathe oxygen. Cetaceans keep awake by allowing only one half of their brain to sleep at any one time.
The cognitive purpose of sleep is an open question. Recently, however, scientists have a new conjecture (“How memory replay in sleep boosts creative problem solving“) as to the purpose of two important phases of sleep.
According to the research, the brain goes through several 90-minute cycles of REM and Non-REM sleep. Non-REM sleep involves the sequential replay of acquired memories. In contrast, REM sleep involves a more random associate game involving disparate memories. In deep learning, this is analogous to the search algorithms of optimization and exploration respectively. That is, we reinforce our memories while in non-REM sleep and we imagine new novel associations while in REM sleep. Our brains are alternating between optimization and exploration while we sleep. In effect, we are learning while we are sleeping.
It wouldn’t be such a waste if we were learning while sleeping.
Coincidentally, it has been suggested that naps of less than 45 minutes enhance “creative thinking”. These naps allow REM sleep to kick in and avoid the slow-wave sleep that can lead to grogginess and disorientation (See: “Napping: The Experts Guide”). The hack is to drink a cup of coffee before napping so that the caffeine kicks in at the 45-minute mark.
This idea that learning happens while we aren’t awake may come to many as a complete surprise. Learning through sleep is a common experience by many who have trained in music. There comes to a point where skills don’t improve during a day of practice but only the next day. In a Northwestern study (“Learn that tune in your sleep”), a musical tune was played during slow-wave sleep that reveals enhanced memorization of the tune. In a German study (“Boosting Vocabulary Learning by Verbal Cueing During Sleep”) subjects improve German-Dutch translation while being exposed during non-REM sleep. This “sleep learning” may be a key idea in unraveling the relatively poor generalization capabilities of existing deep learning architectures.
David Ha and Jurgen Schmidhuber have a recent paper “World Models” where they describe a system that learns by “dreaming” or “hallucinating” about previously acquired memories. In the paper, the authors describe learning a compact representation of the world (via an autoencoder) and then recreating this compressed environment to learn to improve a policy function required for driving future behavior. One take away from this paper is the effectiveness of learning behavior from rough approximations of previously acquired observations.
Reinforcement learning has been difficult to scale as a consequence of expensive sampling costs. In other words, a learning agent has to interact with the world (i.e., environment) a multitude of times to be able to gain the appropriate reinforcement to learn. However, if an agent can create a ‘mental model’ or a ‘simulation’ of the world, then it should be able to do this sampling in a much more cost-effective manner. To implement this, one either needs a replay memory, a good generative model or both (please search the Arxivs and let me know if you’ve uncovered the last kind).
Ultimately one can look at achieving intelligence as not just the ability to compress models of the world and make predictions. But instead, the metric of intelligence should be ‘sampling efficiency’ rather than just compression. The problem with relying only on the idea of compression is that it brushes away the requirement for automation at higher levels of the Chomsky hierarchy. That is, one can create good compression algorithms with just finite automata. However, intelligence likely requires a Turing machine (see: Universality), and models that are good representations of the world also need Turing machines to construct and interpret (Thanks to Hector Zenil for this insight).
The newest developments in the field of deep learning are now beginning to explore the creation of internal ‘imagined worlds.’ This goes in line with my earlier claim that embodied learning is essential to artificial intelligence. However the only real way of scaling both ‘sense making’ and ‘sense breaking’ is to reserve ample time during the day to sleep on it. A blind spot in conventional reinforcement learning is the false assumption that biological systems can learn only when they are awake.

I didn’t know what to expect, knowing I hadn’t been to El Salvador. El Zonte was one of the most beautiful places I have been to in my travels. Then there is Puro Surf. The staff, the accommodations, the surf program is one of the best in the world, and the food is love.
The last Surf Sweat Serve retreat changed my life in so many ways. Pixie creates a space that encourages wellness, community, fun, daily activities and options to move our bodies, explore, surf ‘til we drop and of course, we danced, and played and sometimes just chilled the F out. Peace of mind and relaxation was so needed for me too, and I took well advantage of that.
Never in a million years did I think I would have my life forever changed. While on the last SSS retreat at Puro, Amigo would rescue me. A beautiful stray dog captured our hearts and I swore he would never go back to the streets again. He’s been my husband and my best friend now since we brought him back to the states. This memory will live in my heart forever. ..and what a love Amigo is.
I would have never imagined that I would be bonded and best friends with so many I had met for the very first time on the retreat. There is just something about the space, the safety and encouragement to be our true selves encouraged by Pixie, and the opportunity to leave the pressures of our daily lives behind, and give in to the exhale and to open ourselves to another human.
I can’t wait for the next retreat!!!! Feels like I’ll be going back home!!!
Puro Surf is a magical place run by the nicest people of all time. I made friends with both the Surf Sweat Serve crew and the Puro Surf peeps while on a SSS retreat.
I showed up completely on my own without any friends. I was also the only person from NYC. I never felt alone though. I conquered my fear of surfing, made friends and remembered what feeling awesome is like. I'm so glad I got out of my comfort zone and did this trip!
I went into my first SSS retreat not knowing anyone and expecting to spend most of the time by myself, joining the group only for key activities. Instead, I met some of the most amazing people, developed life long best friends (and more!) and spent the days laughing, connecting and having the time of my life. Puro is a gorgeous slice of heaven and the staff took amazing care of us. The yoga was juicy, the food was delicious and the surfing was my favorite part!

Set amidst the tranquil setting of the Canberra Park, this project set out to meaningfully accentuate the nature element of its location. The blocks of the development are set back to hug along the western edge of the site where the park is. This opens up a vast landscaped ground that becomes the focal point of the development. The project was designed at a higher level from the park, creating an illusion of the Park extending seamlessly into the development, whilst still preserving the exclusivity and privacy of the development. Our key intention for this site was to create a quality living environment that owners can enjoy their everyday life in. Other than abundant grounds for the residents to enjoy, the blocks are sensibly spaced apart and unit layouts ensure that generous ventilation and day light are provided for. Recognizing the need for flexibility in spaces, we have allowed for this with certain unique design features in the development whilst making sure that all the basics of providing a functional, comfortable and beautiful space are still present.

This video is about how to message care workers on the Mable platform and how to negotiate an offer when you are ready to hire them.
Step one: You can message care workers on Mable by going onto their profile and selecting the ‘contact’ button.
Step two: When you click the ‘contact’ button, it will take you to a conversation page where you can talk about your needs, rates and availability with the care worker.
Step three: Once you have typed a message to the care worker, click the ‘send’ button. Once the care worker has replied, we recommend having a phone conversation or scheduling an interview before hiring them.
Step four: Once you have reached an agreement with the care worker, they will send you an offer for your approval (please note: you will not be able to accept an offer without providing Mable with your payment details). If you are happy with the offer from the care worker, you can click ‘accept’ – when you click ‘accept’ you have officially hired the care worker and a deposit will be taken from your credit card or other payment method. After accepting an offer, you will then be able to see the care worker’s contact details and they will be able to see yours. If you do not agree with the offer you can click ‘decline’, and this will send a message back to the care worker for them to amend the offer.
Step five: You can also terminate the agreement at any time by clicking ‘terminate agreement’.

The Friends of London Road Fire Station say Britannia Hotels being voted the ‘worst hotel chain in the UK’ proves the group have ‘no intention of redeveloping’ the derelict grade II listed building.
Britannia Hotels scored a shocking 33% on average in customer satisfaction scores, based on a study from Which? magazine.
Which? polled thousands of hotel guests over the last year, rating 29 chains based in nine categories, including cleanliness, customer service and value for money.
Britannia Hotels owns Sachas Hotel on Tib Street in Manchester city centre, along with Airport Hotel on Palatine Road in Northenden and London Road Fire Station, which has stood dormant and undeveloped for 29 years.
Adam Prince, Secretary for the group, said: “This latest study shows Britannia is the kind of company you would never want to redevelop such an important building, although it is unlikely they have any intentions of doing so.
“A lot of workers at the hotel have been in touch and now it is good that the public are commenting on the state of the buildings they’ve stayed in and how they are keeping their hotels. It’s simply not acceptable for London Road Fire Station.
“We still don’t know the levels of damage Britannia Hotels have done to London Road, but it has to end now.
Britannia Hotels was awarded just one star for categories including cleanliness the state of the bedrooms, and whether the description of the hotel matched reality.
The Altrincham-based group also came at the bottom of the heap last year, scoring a shameful 36%.
Customers this time round criticised the hotels for being ‘run down’ and ‘well past their best-buy dates’.
These feelings of disappointment have been echoed by The Friends of London Road Fire Station, who have spoken out against the hotel group, claiming they have allowed the building to fall into disrepair.
Britannia Hotels has applied for planning permission eight times and been granted it three times, yet has failed to act on each occasion.
Frustrated at Britannia’s lack of action, Manchester City Council tried to force a compulsory purchase order (CPO) through in 2010.
The CPO failed and the council has since been obliged to extend the current planning permission on technical grounds.
The Friends of London Road Fire Station are now backing plans for the council to launch a fresh compulsory purchase order to force Britannia Hotels to sell the iconic building.
Last month, campaigners for London Road Fire Station ‘cautiously welcomed’ the council’s promise to discuss launching a fresh compulsory purchase order challenge to buy the building.
A recent report from the English heritage placed the fire station opposite Manchester Piccadilly as in the top five buildings ‘most at risk of being lost through neglect, decay or inappropriate development’.
“What is good about this latest survey is the fact that this is engaging the public in the debate around the Britannia hotel group, the fire station and addressing the issues surrounding the beautiful space that’s being selfishly denied to the people of Manchester,” Adam said.
“In the last CPO the council did not involve the public enough but there is a real public interest in seeing the building restored.

I recently wrote a post where I describe some of the things that are standing out to me in relation to youth culture’s recent shift as evidenced by the apps and websites that they choose to use.
of our youth that I encouraged parents to engage with. But I was also realizing that the church, or more specifically youth ministries in churches, could use some application of this reality to help determine how it should or could impact what they do with the youth that come through their doors and engage in their youth ministries.
Here are my thoughts on how youth can be more effectively engaged with, in ways that will draw them towards real people, relationships and experiences.
Multi-sensory Experiences – Youth will need to have all of their senses engaged at this point. The fast paced media world has distracted them and slowing things down is important and will help them feel and see the world again. Lighting, smells, tangible hands on activities (tactile like journaling and illustrations involving objects they can touch will make a deep impression on them. Experiences away from home and technology are important too. Camps and similar community building activities can work well for this too.
Relationships – this is more important than ever – they need to be able to see that there is a difference between people on line and the real world. Development of care, responses seen in body language will help develop social skills and leave a lasting impression that the Internet can’t mimic.
Education for parents – The responsibility of youth ministries to equip and make parents aware is growing drastically. Most parents have no idea what they are doing with technology but without them your youth will stray into areas you don’t want them to be.
Enter their world – Don’t let these things scare you away from engaging in the online world. Jumping in and engaging for the purpose of redeeming and staying in the loop can be good. Find the balance, be an example of proper use and be the person in the room that they realize will see what they are doing on line.
Although many of these elements aren’t new in and of themselves, the rational behind why doing them is important can and should bring whole new life and buy in from those involved.
There is incredible potential for us to engage in the lives of youth on a daily basis. Not to correct and condemn them but instead in order to walk with them as they figure out who they are and who they should/could be online.

I have a song running through my head both day and night. Really. I’ll get up for a bathroom trip at 2 am and I’m still singing the song I had running through my brain during dinner. At 6 am, it’s still there. That’s OK as long as it’s something uplifting. But I sure hate it when the song is stupid or annoying!
Fortunately, as I’ve been writing this chapter, I’ve been singing a good old Christian hymn, “Standing on the Promises” by R. Kelso Carter. In fact, right this minute, I’ve got the hymn playing in the background, a great piano version where you feel like pumping the pedals along with the music.
I like to imagine this is the same music that was running through Mary’s head when she shared what Scripture calls “Mary’s Song” with her cousin, Elizabeth. (Luke 1:46-55).
As a woman born into the priestly line, Elizabeth knew Scripture. She knew the promises God had fulfilled—that God would never again destroy the world by water, that Abraham’s descendants would receive the Promised Land. (Genesis 12:1-3) As Elizabeth’s husband, Zechariah said, the God of Israel was blessed to remember his holy covenant, the oath that he swore to our father Abraham (Luke 1:72-73).
[God] has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David (Luke 1:69, explanation added).
to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins (Luke 1:77).
The “she” who Elizabeth called blessed included herself. Elizabeth lived in faith of God’s promises to herself and to mankind. God was fulfilling His promise to her personally of giving her a son. And she knew through her cousin Mary that God was also fulfilling His promise to mankind by giving humanity a savior.
Elizabeth was already old when she gave birth to John. Jesus, born six months later, lived another 33 years before his death on the cross and resurrection fulfilled God’s promise of salvation through a Messiah. It is doubtful that Elizabeth lived long enough to see that promise of salvation fulfilled. But she lived her life in faith that God would fulfill it. That faith was a blessing to her.
Picture Elizabeth. The angel of the Lord told her through Zechariah that her own son would be instrumental in carrying out God’s promise to His people. Through her, Elizabeth would be a personal part of God’s plan of salvation. Wow. What a sense of joy that must have given her. What a sense of duty she must have had, knowing that God was using her and her son in such a specific way for the benefit of all mankind. Even old and pregnant, I’ll bet Elizabeth did a “happy dance” that would have won her first place on Israel’s Got Talent!
We too receive God’s general promises to humanity. God promised all of mankind salvation. That’s a promise to humanity—completely and forever fulfilled through Jesus.
We have a written record of God’s promises. They—like Elizabeth herself—are recorded in Scripture. Sometimes we can’t see God in action. But God rewards our faith—our belief that He is righteous and trustworthy; that He fulfills His promises. It strengthens us, encourages us, allows us to move forward, knowing that God is and was and ever shall be, fulfilling His promises to mankind.
If Elizabeth were here she would say this was her story. She knew that the Lord keeps His promises to His people.
*How many promises can you think of that God has made to humanity?
*Jesus has promised that He will return and take us with Him. How does knowing that promise make you feel?
*Put yourself in Elizabeth’s place. Describe how you would feel when Mary arrived, knowing that the promised Messiah was there, too.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for being who you are. Thank you that we can count on what you say you will do, knowing that you keep your promises. Thank you for Scripture that records your promises and your fulfillment of them so that we have evidence of your character. Thank you for your promises to your children and for including us in them. Amen.

I have in my hand a piece of paper.
I don’t, but this is the medium-large co-signee of a deal conceived and written entirely in my mind. You stay up there, I’ll stay down here, and we won’t bother each other too much.
So far this particular individual has stayed way above my stairway. Even if I wanted to crush it, I couldn’t. I have nothing long enough to poke up that high. Hence the mold/rot in the corner of the wall there.
Scaryness rating: 4. Would be higher if it decided to come down and lurk at head height.
