In speech science and phonetics, a formant is the spectral shaping that results from an acoustic resonance of the human vocal tract. However, in acoustics, the definition of a formant differs slightly as it is defined as a peak, or local maximum, in the spectrum. For harmonic sounds, with this definition, it is therefore the harmonic partial that is augmented by a resonance. The difference between these two definitions resides in whether "formants" characterise the production mechanisms of a sound or the produced sound itself. In practice, the frequency of a spectral peak can differ from the associated resonance frequency when, for instance, harmonics are not aligned with the resonance frequency. In most cases, this subtle difference is irrelevant and, in phonetics, formant can mean either a resonance or the spectral maximum that the resonance produces. Formants are often measured as amplitude peaks in the frequency spectrum of the sound, using a spectrogram (in the figure) or a spectrum analyzer and, in the case of the voice, this gives an estimate of the vocal tract resonances. In vowels spoken with a high fundamental frequency, as in a female or child voice, however, the frequency of the resonance may lie between the widely spaced harmonics and hence no corresponding peak is visible.
A room can be said to have formants characteristic of that particular room, due to the way sound reflects from its walls and objects. Room formants of this nature reinforce themselves by emphasizing specific frequencies and absorbing others, as exploited, for example, by Alvin Lucier in his piece I Am Sitting in a Room.
From an acoustic point of view, phonetics had a serious problem with the idea that length of vocal tract changed vowels. It was unclear how they could depend on frequencies when everyone from bass to soprano can make the same vowels. There had to be some way to normalize the frequencies. Hermann suggested a solution to this problem in 1894, coining the term “formant”. A vowel, according to him, is a special acoustic phenomenon, depending on the intermittent production of a special partial, or “formant”, or “characteristique”. The frequency of the “formant” may vary a little without altering the character of the vowel. For a, for example, the “formant” may vary from 350 to 440 Hz even in the same person.
Formants are distinctive frequency components of the acoustic signal produced by speech or singing. The information that humans require to distinguish between speech sounds can be represented purely quantitatively by specifying peaks in the amplitude or frequency spectrum. Most of these formants are produced by tube and chamber resonance, but a few whistle tones derive from periodic collapse of Venturi effect low-pressure zones. The formant with the lowest frequency is called F1, the second F2, and the third F3. Most often the two first formants, F1 and F2, are enough to disambiguate the vowel. The relationship between the perceived vowel quality and the first two formant frequencies can be appreciated by listening to "artificial vowels" that are generated by passing a click train (to simulate the glottal pulse train) through a pair of bandpass filters (to simulate vocal tract resonances).
Nasal consonants usually have an additional formant around 2500 Hz. The liquid [l] usually has an extra formant at 1500 Hz, whereas the English "r" sound ([ɹ]) is distinguished by a very low third formant (well below 2000 Hz).
Plosives (and, to some degree, fricatives) modify the placement of formants in the surrounding vowels. Bilabial sounds (such as /b/ and /p/ in "ball" or "sap") cause a lowering of the formants; velar sounds (/k/ and /ɡ/ in English) almost always show F2 and F3 coming together in a 'velar pinch' before the velar and separating from the same 'pinch' as the velar is released; alveolar sounds (English /t/ and /d/) cause fewer systematic changes in neighbouring vowel formants, depending partially on exactly which vowel is present. The time course of these changes in vowel formant frequencies are referred to as 'formant transitions'.
If the fundamental frequency of the underlying vibration is higher than a resonance frequency of the system, then the formant usually imparted by that resonance will be mostly lost. This is most apparent in the example of soprano opera singers, who sing high enough that their vowels become very hard to distinguish.
Control of resonances is an essential component of the vocal technique known as overtone singing, in which the performer sings a low fundamental tone, and creates sharp resonances to select upper harmonics, giving the impression of several tones being sung at once.
Spectrograms are used to visualise formants. In spectrograms, it can be hard to distinguish formants from naturally occurring harmonics when one sings. However, one can hear the natural formants in a vowel shape through atonal techniques such as vocal fry.
The first two formants are important in determining the quality of vowels, and are frequently said to correspond to the open/close and front/back dimensions (which have traditionally, though not entirely accurately, been associated with the shape and position of the tongue). Thus the first formant F1 has a higher frequency for an open vowel (such as [a]) and a lower frequency for a close vowel (such as [i] or [u]); and the second formant F2 has a higher frequency for a front vowel (such as [i]) and a lower frequency for a back vowel (such as [u]). as can be seen in Fig. 1.
Vowels will almost always have four or more distinguishable formants; sometimes there are more than six. However, the first two formants are most important in determining vowel quality, and this is often displayed in terms of a plot of the first formant against the second formant, though this is not sufficient to capture some aspects of vowel quality, such as rounding. An example of how the vowels of a language or dialect may be plotted on a traditional auditory vowel chart and also on a formant plot may be seen in the case of Norwegian.
While Daniel Jones's attempts at capturing vowel articulation resulted in the International Phonetic Association plotting vowels in a trapezoid, actual formant space may be more triangular. Shown is an idealized plot of the formants of Jones and John Wells pronouncing the cardinal vowels of the IPA.
Many writers have addressed the problem of finding an optimal alignment of the positions of vowels on formant plots with those on the conventional vowel quadrilateral. The pioneering work of Ladefoged used the Mel scale because this scale was claimed to correspond more closely to the auditory scale of pitch than to the acoustic measure of fundamental frequency expressed in Hertz as in Fig. 1. Two alternatives to the Mel scale are the Bark scale and the ERB-rate scale. A comparison of these three scales is shown by Hayward, p. 141, and formant plots based on the Hertz scale and on the Bark scale are compared on p. 153. Another strategy for improving formant plots that has been widely adopted is to plot on the horizontal axis not the value of F2 but the difference between F1 and F2 for a given vowel.
Studies of the frequency spectrum of trained classical singers, especially male singers, indicate a clear formant around 3000 Hz (between 2800 and 3400 Hz) that is absent in speech or in the spectra of untrained singers. It is thought to be associated with one or more of the higher resonances of the vocal tract. It is this increase in energy at 3000 Hz which allows singers to be heard and understood over an orchestra. This formant is actively developed through vocal training, for instance through so-called voce di strega or "witch's voice" exercises and is caused by a part of the vocal tract acting as a resonator. In classical music and vocal pedagogy, this phenomenon is also known as squillo.

Browse the article How does your brain impact your survival chances in the wilderness?
Alaska Image Gallery Your mental attitude affects your ability to survive in extreme conditions. Check out our pictures of Alaska.
Bear Grylls, of Discovery Channel's "Man vs. Wild," would likely have an easier time surviving in the wilderness than the average Joe. Grylls has years of survival training experience under his belt and makes his living getting lost on purpose. But for all of Grylls' expertise, there's one thing he has in common with everyone else heading into the wilderness -- a brain.
Out of all the factors related to wilderness endurance, your brain can most impact your chances of survival in the wild. When people's minds become overwhelmed with the task of staying alive, they can fail at doing just that.
For that reason, many wilderness books acknowledge that the brain is your make-or-break tool in survival situations. It stores concrete knowledge of any outdoorsman skills -- how to spark a fire from sticks, how to build a shelter in deep snow. And the brain also provides those intangible skills -- intuition and judgment that govern your decisions to stay put or move on, to make that fire here and build that shelter there and so on.
It sounds like a simple recipe for survival success: preparation plus gut feeling. However, the rest of the body twists the story of whether we survive. The extreme stress of trying to stay alive in the wilderness can either sweeten or sour our chances of living, thanks to its physical and mental effects.
To temper this unconscious reaction to extreme stress, survival experts emphasize the importance of a positive mental attitude (PMA). Without it, stress wears down our bodies and brains quickly, and any prior wilderness survival knowledge will fly out the window. In this sense, survival becomes a balancing act between unconscious and conscious impulses in our brains.
Where do stress and attitude meet in the middle? Since stress is inevitable, can thinking good thoughts magically send you home in the same way that Dorothy clicked her ruby slippers home in "The Wizard of Oz"?
Read the next page to learn how stress helps and hurts you when you're striving to survive in the wilderness.

For this week’s Saturday Seductive Studs post as I figured out which book/section to post, it hit me that in 8-9 weeks, the 9th Blake/Dusty Chronicle will be out. So, why not lead up to it with a small morsel from each book?
So, for this week we get a peek into Blake Takes Some Heat which was the first story I released back in June. Wow, that seems a long time ago.
Anyway, Blake is on the cusp of his 40th birthday and is suffering from middle-aged angst along with the fact that he has been summoned to spend 10 days with his all-too-loving family. He needs to find a way out of his head, so he asks for a scene with his online dominant.
He had come up with very interesting things for me to do at times when I felt like I was drowning in my own anger. When he would first tell me what to do, I would think he was crazy, but soon found there was a method to his madness. After the third one, I had stopped questioning him.
I immediately jumped up and grabbed the items he requested. They seemed an incongruous grouping, but he was the master genius, not me. “Got them, Sir,” I typed as I sat down, putting them on the couch beside me.
A nervous jolt went through me. He had only asked me to cam for him a couple times before. It felt naughty and I loved every minute. Our only agreement was that the cam would never show anything of me that was recognizable. Neither of us knew what the other looked like, which was the only way I would do this.
Part 1 of The Blake/Dusty Chronicles.

WHEN Manchester City’s owners recruited Roberto Mancini in 2009 to lead their attempt to turn the football world upside down, they hired a brand as well as an already successful manager.
Well, an image, at least, if you agree that brand is a dirty word in the game. Smooth, suave, handsome, Italian.
Very Italian, in fact. In his designer overcoats and with his sky blue scarf tied in a highly fashionable knot – the suggestion of his personal tailor in Naples, apparently – Mancini has delivered in the touchline style stakes as well as on the pitch.
In the press room and before the cameras, his English is good. His answers are cool and measured, although he is unafraid to speak his mind. He makes sense and his team can play dazzling, exciting football that has helped ignite one of the most intense championship battles for years. Away from the media glare, he is affable and charming.
So let’s put him to the Premier League test, shall we? Let’s see if the most over-heated madhouse in the European game undermines his sang-froid as the title race heads towards its Spring shakedown with City, defeated in two cup ties in the past week and suddenly confronted by injuries, suspensions and the loss of key players to Africa.
It gets to them all here in the end, one way or another. It has them all leaping about on the sidelines, puce-faced, screaming and bug-eyed. It forces them all into the regulation bust-ups and fall-outs with officialdom and their opponents, both of whom Mancini has taken on verbally in the past few days, too.
Running along the touchline waving imaginary cards as he did during the league match against Liverpool last week? Involved in verbal differences with Steven Gerrard in the tunnel? Which, to be fair, he handled graciously. Blaming Wayne Rooney for the sending-off of Vincent Kompany?
These days, these are the kind of moments which make up the workaday life of any Premier League boss at the very top.
Is Mancini becoming infected by the fever too? Nobody expects him to lose the plot. He is way too smart, although he has confessed to more than the odd moment of eruption and confrontation during his playing days.
Most people still expect City to win the title and only a fool would write them off, even though they have been stuttering ever since the defeat at Chelsea on December 12.
But still, it is intriguing to watch as Mancini is drawn into the frenzy – sometimes bitter, sometimes glorious – which ensnares the men of his profession on dark winter afternoons and evenings.
Even Arsene Wenger was once heard to mutter: “For f***’s sake!” in a press conference response to one irritating question. It was a phrase that confirmed just how much he had become one of us.
And who knows? The cool, smooth Mancini might become just as splenetically Anglicised by it all, too. As a player and as a boss, he has already proven himself a man for the big time. As a goalscorer, most notably in 15 years with Sampdoria, he made himself one of the most iconic figures to have graced Serie A.
As a coach, he won three titles with Inter Milan, one of the game’s most notoriously political and Byzantine big clubs.
The first of them in 2006 came when Juventus were stripped of the prize because of a corruption scandal.
So when he went on to win in the following two seasons as well, it was proof he could handle the unique kind of pressure which came with landing the big prize in such awkward circumstances. It marked him out as a man of substance who can last the course, even if this has been his first season juggling the most demanding league competition around with the big-time requirements of the Champions League.
The European Cup is no longer a concern. Neither is the FA Cup. A trip to the Carling Cup final seems unlikely because Anfield will be a fearsome redoubt in the semi-final return there later this month.
A triumph, there, of course, could handily retune a season which has reached its inevitable tricky phase and which may yet be complicated by the Europa League.

The world’s first Masterchef-themed restaurant will throw open its doors in Dubai Marina this April.
MasterChef, The TV Experience, can be found in the new Millennium Place Marina and is based on the hugely popular MasterChef reality TV series.
The restaurant will be headed up by acclaimed chef Maria ‘Margarita’ Vaamonde-Beggs, who will helm the kitchen once the restaurant opens later this year.
Masterchef the TV experience will have seating for 180 covers including an alfresco terrace for sixty. On the menu, guests can expect recipes of contestants and champions from various global series of MasterChef. You can also expect short-term residencies at the restaurant from former contestants and champions across the world, who will share their stories, experiences and menus with guests.
If you’re a fan of the TV show, you’ll likely feel pretty at home in the restaurant, which has been designed with inspirations from the show. There will also be a dedicated drinks bar inspired by the recognisable setting of the TV series.
“Our entire objective has been to keep the entire experience focused on the food our culinary stars will create, while offering a casual and comfortable deformalised dining atmosphere without excess trappings,” said Duncan Fraser-Smith of The First Group, the hospitality company behind the opening.
With over 60 local adaptations broadcast in more than 200 countries, MasterChef is the world’s most successful cookery television format.

We’re huge action sports fans. Huge. We’ve followed skateboarding since we were old enough to fall off a board, so having the opportunity to work with one of the greatest actions sports stars of all time has been one of our biggest thrills.
Ryan Sheckler is a superstar, one of Fox Weekly’s “15 Most Influential Skateboarders of All Time”, an entrepreneur, a reality TV star, and a philanthropist. Baby Steps has worked with Ryan on a bunch of great projects, going back to pioneering sites we created for Red Bull and leading to our current involvement with his amazing foundation and the great work it does for kids and injured athletes.
We met Ryan through a really fun project we did for Red Bull, building a super-intricate website with video and music and 3-D rendered transitions—really state-of-the-art work that established our reputation with Red Bull and really showcased how creative and innovative we can be. We followed that up with another groundbreaking project, the Easy Button Webcast. We created a red “Easy Button” in his practice space that allowed Ryan to flip on a live webcast and simultaneously tweet all of his followers that he was “on air”. People could then watch him skating or chatting to his buddies or talking to his fans whenever he wanted with no fuss and no hassle. This was an industry first and a pretty amazing piece of technology.
After that success, Red Bull challenged us to come up with a smart way to keep Ryan’s website up-to-date and engaging. Without plenty of fresh content, website traffic falls off quickly and it’s just not realistic to expect a busy, driven professional athlete to keep posting new material to his various digital properties. So we developed the first version of what we call the Stream. The Stream is part social media aggregator, part blog, part article base, and it makes posting to a website super-easy. With social media aggregation from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, every time Ryan posted to one of his social media sites, the content on his website was updated at the same time. It’s a great way to make sure Ryan’s website stays current, exciting and entertaining for existing and new fans.
When Red Bull handed management of the site over to Ryan’s team, we handled the switch over and got his team up to speed with how everything works. That was the beginning of a new and really special relationship for us. Ryan’s team loved how easy it was to update everything on his site and appreciated that we were always available to help them out. We loved their great energy and the personality that made them so much fun to work with. We also got to play a major part in creating the website for Ryan’s charity, the Sheckler Foundation, which has turned out to be one of the most meaningful sites we’ve ever been associated with.
The Sheckler Foundation run a contest called “Be the Change” in which small charities apply for a chance to win a cash donation. They start by submitting video entries online and the foundation selects four finalists with the ultimate winner being chose by a popular vote. It’s all integrated with social media and a pretty complicated process, so we built them an app that handles the entire contest from beginning to end, making a really simple experience for applicants and the foundation team. It’s been an amazing success, providing much-needed help to very deserving people and causes and we’re truly proud of our association with it.
It’s exciting enough to be able to work so closely with such an amazing group of people making such a difference in the lives of the people they help. The fact we get to help out a genuine superstar of a sport we love…well, that’s the cherry on top.

Your not seeing double, these sister's are identical twins! For those of you who know me know that I'm terrible with names, even with my own four children but I dont know how these sister's mamma keep up with who is who because I was confused during our entire portriat session! Last month I partnered up with Blutterfly Baby boutique she has some fabulous dresses that she needed photographed and I thought this duo would be perfect, and turns out I was right! Not only are these sweet girls absolutely gorgeous but they where the easiest toddlers I think I have ever had the pleasure to photograph. We held their portrait session at my favorite park in North Fort Worth which is only six minutes from my fort worth studio. check out some of my favorite images from their portrait session.

Neuropathic pain has been concerning medical practitioners for quite some time. It is very common and occurs in almost 1% of world population. It is characterised by a pain sensation for a prolonged period with or without any stimulation. It may be caused due to any genetic anomaly or due to severe injury to the nervous system. The exact mechanism behind its occurrence is not known though studies show various changes at peripheral and central nervous system level that may lead to neuropathic pain. Various changes at tissue, cell and genetic level have been associated with neuropathic pain. This article aims at compiling recent findings related to the mechanisms of development of neuropathic pain at a molecular, CNS and PNS level.

On the search for my next favorite local craft brew.
Evansville Brewery reopens taproom, hosts food trucks this weekend.
It’s time to hop into Easter, and I have a few new hoppy delights you should pick up for the weekend.
“What’s up with Tin Man,” said everyone, this week.
Beer enthusiasts and Yuengling fans will finally be able to get a pint in the Hoosier state on March 6.
It’s not an April Fool’s joke this year.
Evansville Brewhouse has been selling pints for more than six months and doing it well.
Tin Man is sticking to what it does best, beer.
Carson's Brewery has a few new brews and a new board that gives you all the facts about what's on tap.
A new year calls for new beers, and everyone seems to have some.
With all the Christmas music and frigid weather it has me thinking about the beers I want to drink sitting by the fire on a snow covered evening.
Thanksgiving is over, and we have officially entered the holiday season. Does anyone need a drink?
@tinmanbrewing Man released a Bicentenni-ale this week here is my quick take on it.
These three area brewers have brought us a new Imperial Red IPA called Olympus Mons.

Baldness, also known as pattern-baldness, affects most of the population. It is a prblem for both sexes, although it is often more noticeable on the male scalp than the female's scalp.
Baldness can occur for a number of reasons, but is more often associated with ageing. Falling levels of the male hormone, testosterone, which is present in both men and women, kick-starts a conversion process that changes the testosterone into dihydrotestosterone during later life. This new hybrid hormone triggers hair loss and prevents new hair growth from taking place. People deficient in iron and pregnant women may also suffer hair loss, but, unlike age-related baldness, this is temporary and hair can be re-grown.
There are products available to help stimulate hair growth for bald scalps. Although most are unproven to work, some people claim to have had limited success with products containing minoxidil. The treatment must be continuous however, as should you stop any newly grown hair will fall out. More successful are products that prevent baldness in the first place by blocking the testosterone - dihydrotestosterone conversion process.
If you would like more information on baldness and treatments for baldness, please review the resources on our web site.

Musical Chairs is a moving image project that reinterprets the everyday actions and routines of the public with the objective of creating something new. I captured footage of a single public bench with pedestrians walking the streets and people sitting on the bench. With this footage, along with specifically chosen music and careful editing I created a video that portrays the public playing a game of musical chairs, of which I am the controller. The result is a look at how the banal everyday can be seen as fun and interesting through reinterpretation and directorship.

About Chipmaker Authentic: Anonymous posting is for the cowardly and the weak. Anonymous posting is for the cowardly and the weak.
When was the last World Series game in which both starters had a complete game?
What is the longest span of seasons during which no team repeated as the World Series champion?
Seasons without a World Series do not count. Team name changes or relocations do not matter. Maximum number of seasons without a repeat champion, those years, and the champions in order. The 2015 result will not affect the answer.
Which are the last three teams to start the World Series 0-2 and come back to win the title?
What reasons exist for MLB reinstating this unremorseful, unreformed reprobate, should that come to pass? Explain a worthy basis for reinstatement.
Baseball players wear "sanitary socks" and "stirrup socks". What other socks are mentioned in the BASEBALL forum?
What does "battery" mean in baseball terminology?
Not "things Yankee fans throw at opposing players". grouch-Klink cannot answer this, partly because I blocked the idjit ages ago, mostly because it knows NOTHING about BASEBALL.
Why does Yahoo not sanction serial abusers who perpetrate deliberate, concerted, personal attacks against high-quality contributors?
The 2015 Hall ballot -- which rookies get the call? (Real question, can be answered by real people)?
The rookie Hall candidates, alphabetical order: Rich Aurilia Aaron Boone Tony Clark Carlos Delgado Jermaine Dye Darin Erstad Cliff Floyd Nomar Garciaparra Brian Giles Tom Gordon Eddie Guardado Randy Johnson Pedro Martinez Troy Percival Jason Schmidt John Smoltz Gary Sheffield Who gets elected? Who gets to come back to the 2016 ballot? Who goes one and done? I see two clear electees, Johnson and Martinez, with Smoltz a maybe first-timer.
Trout FINALLY gets the AL MVP! What took the writers so long?
Jeter to only DH in Boston games. To the anti-DH zealots -- is this acceptable?
Yo, DH haters, how do you process this? Consider it yet another abomination upon the great game? Doubly so, since Jeter is willingly slumming these last few games by forgoing the glove for just the bat? Begrudgingly accept it THIS ONE TIME ONLY because Jeter can do what he wants, it lets fans see him play a few last games, and also Jeter Jeter Jeter? Denounce the Cap'n for not being man enough to play shortstop, as God and Joe Torre intended? Remember to couch your answer in terms of how much you despise the very concept of the designated hitter, and whatever your standing opinion of Jeter is.
Does Jeter play the games in Boston?
Whether or not tonight's game happens, the Yankees' series in Boston have no impact upon the postseason berthings. The Yanx will not play on. The Cap'n is done as of Sunday. Does he even play? Precedents: In 1960, Ted Williams played his last game at home in Fenway, famously going yard in his final at-bat. The Red Sox had a final series to play in da Bronx, but Ted didn't even make the trip. In 2013, Mariano Rivera played his last game at da Stadium, traveled with the team to Houston, but did not enter a game (by his own wishes). Jeter could do similar. Oh, he'll make the trip to collect his final parting gifts, sure. But does he actually tar his bat or pull on his glove? Or did he make his final appearance on Yankee soil, like Mo did?
20 years ago today, Randy Johnson whiffed Ernie Young to end the Mariners' 8-1 win. What happened next?
There are two players, active in 2014, who made their major league debut before Jeter did?
Can you name them? This does not include Alex Rodriguez, who is not playing this season.
Should the Yankees promote Jeter? Captain just doesn't seem sufficient.?
Elevate him to team major or maybe colonel. He's in his final season, deserves something no player has had before.
MLB, Union announce tougher PED policy. Thoughts, particularly from the anti-steroids scolds?
Are you zealots finally satisfied with this updated policy? Note that it still falls well short of execution for a first-time allegation. The summary: http://nbchardballtalk.files.wordpress.c... The basics: More than double (1400 -> 3200) in-season urine testing. More off-season urine testing. More in-season blood testing for HGH. More advanced analytic testing. Foreign free agents tested before allowed to sign. (Here's your red meat, though to repeat, no death penalty.) First violation: 80 game suspension. Second violation: 162 game suspension, without pay (183 days, the official length of a championship season). Third violation: permanent suspension. A no-fault unintentional usage option, with evidence. Suspended players ineligible for postseason play even if the suspension is expired. Ineligible for full share of postseason pool money. Teams to provide known-clean supplements. New substances banned (and more to come). Stronger confidentiality. Read the more complete details or surf around for press releases, but this is, I think, a fair summary of bullets. So, satisfied? Still not tuff enuff? Rant away. I'm fine with this. It was collectively bargained, it has modifications that were needed to avoid another Braun or Rodriguez debacle, and it still doesn't have a death penalty that some people appear to crave.
Jeter announces retirement after 2014 season. What do you predict?
St. Derek, the First of his Name, will be stepping off the diamond after the 2014 season. How is it all going to play out? Final season: magnificent, good, adequate, awful, or injury-plaqued disaster? Tributes: tasteful, tasteless, overdone (given, really), modest, or the Rivera tour cranked up to 11? The team: he's just another Yankee, he's Cap'n Jeets one last time, or the season is All Derek All The Time? The big finish: the Yankees conclude their season on the road, in Boston. Does DJ play those games? Or does he take his final bow at Da Stadium (against mere Baltimore, on a Thursday night)? If the Yanx advance to the postseason, and are at risk of being eliminated on the road, does DJ sit out. insisting he finish on the home lawn? Or soldier on no matter the field? BQ: when 2015 arrives, Jeter gone, Rodriguez back, does Alex (finally) return to shortstop?
Ralph Kiner passes away at 91. Any special memories?
The Hall of Fame has announced the Ralph Kiner (Class of '75) passed away today (coincidentally, Babe Ruth's 119th birthday). Kiner played for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago Cubs, and Cleveland Indians from 1946-55, leading the NL in home runs seven consecutive seasons, 1946-52, twice exceeding 50 dingers. He later had a long career as an announcer for the Mets, and I'd love to hear some of his more amusing exploits from that era. RIP, Ralph Kiner. He was 91. http://www.baseball-reference.com/player... Kiner was the third-oldest living HOFer, which now passes to Red Schoendienst. Bobby Doerr is the eldest, followed by Monte Irvin.
How many times have the league ROY winners met in that year's World Series?
It has happened at least once -- the teams that met in the World Series both have a key youngster named as the individual leagues' Rookie of the Year Award winners later in the winter. How many times? Year(s)? Both ROY winners? Which team claimed the championship? Starting from 1949, the first season there was a ROY in each league.
If Pete Rose was placed on the Hall ballot ONE TIME and one time only, as...?
...as a special dispensation -- and the BBWAA did NOT vote him in, then would the pro-Rose groupies finally give up their futile quest? Or would they keep on ranting for Rose, despite their metaphoric nose having been torn off their virtual face?
Who are some former players who had an impressive second career after leaving baseball the diamond? Non-playing roles within baseball are acceptable. (Please consider significant careers. Appearing as a bit actor in a movie or two, or moving into a standard ex-jock post like game announcer or ESPN/MLB Net commentator, is too low a threshold here.) A few I thought of: Jim Bunning (Tigers, Phillies, Pirates, Dodgers, 1955-71; HOF 1996) -- United States Representative (Kentucky) 1987-99, United States Senator 1999-2011). Billy Beane (Mets, Twins, Tigers, Athletics 1984-89) -- Oakland A's general manager, 1997-present. Chuck Connors (Dodgers, Cubs 1949 & '51) -- actor, lead character in The Rifleman (1958-63). John Elway (minors, 1982) -- football player, Denver Broncos, 1983-99. Randy Poffo (minors, 1971-74) -- wrestler/entertainer Randy Savage. Bobby Brown (Yankees, 1946-52 & '54) -- got medical degree, cardiologist, president of the American League 1984-94. Scott Boras (minors, 1974-77) -- most successful and most reviled player agent certified by MLBPA. Danny Ainge (Blue Jays 1979-81) -- basketball player, Boston Celtics, Sacramento Kings, Portland Trail Blazers, Phoenix Suns 1981-85; basketball coach, Phoenix Suns, 1996-99. Tony Clark (Tigers, Red Sox, Mets, Yankees, Diamondbacks, Padres 1995-2009) -- executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, 2013-present. (Still the only MLB player to homer in six different time zones in championship play.) Who else can you think of, who reached new heights after leaving the diamond?

Traditional CCTV surveillance systems for detecting vandalism require constant human operator-based monitoring and intervention. In this project, the implemented prototype system (mounted at a bus station) can successfully detect graffiti and graffiti-making activities through remove noise signals introduced by passing pedestrians and vehicles as well as adapting to changing outdoor illumination conditions.
One common assumption for graffiti detection is based on its time-endurance feature due to the adhesive paint coating. Therefore, the most convenient and effective real-time solution for graffiti detection is to compare a pre-determined “clean” scene with the live feeds from an image or video device.
The main contribution of this project is the development of a rapid technique for removing foreground noise caused by passengers painting at a bus stop through head curve matching.
Test results show the algorithm and process developed in the system prototype is flexible and robust, which can be adopted for handling other human contour-based detection tasks.
As part of the future work for this research, human gestures will be studied based on human stick-models for real-time gesture analysis to identify other forms of vandalism acts.

On May 30, 2018, the U.S. Departments of Commerce and Homeland Security released the final Report to the President on Enhancing the Resilience of the Internet and Communications Ecosystem Against Botnets and Other Automated, Distributed Threats (Botnet Report or Report). This builds on a draft report released on January 5, 2018, and responds to the President’s May 11, 2017 Executive Order 13800, “Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure.” Comments were taken on the draft report from 49 filers, and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) held workshops on the topic.
This Report will set in motion additional work across government and the private sector if its recommendations and goals are taken seriously. There remains much work to be done on automated, distributed threats, because the problem cannot be solved by domestic regulation or one technological solution.
The Report describes the complex threat landscape, noting ongoing activity by ISPs and others, but indicates more needs to be done.
Specifically, the Report emphasizes the need for industry-led approaches and consensus-based standards. Yet in its “Vision for the Future of Edge Devices” section, the Report states: “Devices must be able to resist attacks throughout their deployment lifecycles – at the time of shipment, during use, and through to end‐of‐life. For this to occur, security must become a primary design requirement.” “Requirement” was changed from “goal” in the draft. It also states that the U.S. government and international partners should conduct their technology and device procurement actions to create market incentives for more secure products, and promote open, voluntary, industry-driven standards. It further emphasizes the need for the U.S. to engage with other countries. Finally, the Report calls for more coordination between industry and law enforcement.
The Report calls for 24 “actions” that promote ongoing discussions in Congress, DHS, NIST, and NTIA.
While there is emphasis on the voluntary nature of many actions directed at the private sector, companies can expect additional scrutiny and demands. The Report’s emphasis on several topics dovetails with efforts underway, including the IoT Cybersecurity legislation championed by Sens. Mark Warner (D-VA) and Cory Gardner (R-CO) and an expected NTIA effort on software assurance (see Action 1.3).
The Report calls for work on topics ranging from device labeling to increased engagement with “operational technology” companies. It also suggests mandates related to government procurement, and calls for standards that will impact industry broadly across the IoT and connected-device ecosystem, from software and product developers to Internet service providers (ISPs) and network carriers.
ISPs to expand information sharing (Action 2.1) by “work[ing] collaboratively with civil society and government to improve coordinated responses to actionable information and lead the development, refinement, and standardization of information sharing protocols to increase speed and permit automated response. Special attention should be given to engagement and inclusion of smaller ISPs and protocol developments that enhance their participation.” The Report identifies the Comm-ISAC as a key venue and expanding information sharing agreements with international peers as an additional enhancement.
The development of a Cybersecurity Framework Profile for Enterprise DDoS Prevention and Mitigation (Action 2.2). “An industry-led effort, in consultation with NIST, academia, and other subject matter experts, should develop a CSF Profile for Enterprise DDoS Prevention and Mitigation, focusing on the desired state of organizational cybersecurity to mitigate DDoS attacks,” citing Comments from the Coalition for Cybersecurity Policy and Law.
Industry to expand current product development and standardization efforts for effective and secure traffic management in home and enterprise environments (Action 3.1).
Industry to design user interfaces on home IT and IoT to be used securely and privately (Action 3.2).
Industry to migrate to network architectures with better defenses and consider how their own networks put others at risk (Action 3.3).
The federal government should promote international adoption of best practices, including through NTIA leadership on global DNS security work (Action 4.2).
Sector-specific regulatory agencies should engage industry to ensure nondeceptive marketing and “foster appropriate sector-specific considerations” (Action 4.3). This section touts FTC activity and its unfairness authority under Section 5. These efforts, with sector-specific enforcement, “can contribute to, and benefit from, the broader ecosystem security discussion.” It is not clear what this means, but the Report may be suggesting a reexamination of some agency efforts.
Government should encourage the academic and training sectors to integrate secure coding practices into computer science and related programs (Action 5.3).
The academic sector, in collaboration with NIST’s National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education, should establish cybersecurity as a requirement across all engineering disciplines (Acton 5.4).
While the Report is in its final form, the government plans to continue collaborative work on this effort. Within 120 days, the Departments of Commerce and Homeland Security, in coordination with industry and civil society, and in consultation with international partners, will develop an initial road map for prioritized actions. “Government and the private sector will work together to ensure that the road map is updated and maintained as stakeholders accomplish the identified actions.” Further, in one year, a status report will be provided to the President, tracking progress made by the “community as a whole” against the road map on the implementation of the recommendations found in the Report.
NIST has numerous workstreams on IoT, with dozens listed, including efforts to map international standards in NISTIR 8200, the Interagency Report on Status of International Cybersecurity Standardization for the Internet of Things (IoT), and to develop a draft document identifying security and privacy considerations for IoT.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued guidelines and developed a Medical Device Safety Action Plan to enhance connected device security.
The Department of Justice has issued IoT guidelines with the Consumer Technology Association, and it may address cybersecurity and botnets in the report to be developed by its Cyber-Digital Task Force.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is actively engaged in automotive security related to connected vehicles.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is looking at possible hazards from connected devices.

A palpable gear-change from her last two albums.
As glamorous as it might sound and as exciting as we’re sure the experience was for Lucy Rose, the story behind her third full-length is a little bit of a cliched one; she did quite a bit of finding herself in South America, by the sounds of it, playing gigs wherever she could and crashing with fans most of the time - just her and her guitar, travelling from country to country on inter-city buses.
There’s no Latin flavour on ‘Something’s Changing’, but that doesn’t make the title a complete misnomer; this is a palpable gear-change from her last two albums. Key to its success is the pared-back approach that she’s taken - as tempted as she might have been to throw a kitchen sink’s worth of ideas at the record, she instead shows restraint, with a bare-bones approach that puts her voice front and centre. That proves a smart tactic on the tender likes of ‘Love Song’ and ‘Moirai’, the latter flecked with fluttering strings.
It’s a testament to how popular she must be amongst her contemporaries that she managed to draft in some stellar guest turns over the course of just seventeen days of recording in Brighton. The standouts ‘Floral Dresses’ and ‘Is This Called Home’, both of which feature sumptuous harmonies courtesy of The Staves. ‘Something’s Changing’ isn’t without flaws - ‘Soak It Up’’s shuffling tempo jars, whilst the orchestral leanings of closer ‘I Can’t Change It All’ are at odds with the rest of the record - but it sees Lucy Rose easing into the next stage of her career. Perhaps more songwriters should go backpacking.

The "blessed hope" for Christians is the return of Christ in glory, to become our king and friend, and to take us to Heaven, to live forevermore.
Good morning. Happy Sabbath. We'd like to welcome you to "central study hour" coming to you from the Sacramento central Seventh-day Adventist Church here in Sacramento, California. I'd like to welcome those of you who are listening on the radio this morning, watching on our website live at saccentral.org, or watching 3 weeks delayed on the various television networks. We welcome you.
And we're so glad that you are tuning in to be a part of our family this morning here at central church. We're doing things a little bit different. And that's okay. We have some visitors this morning, joining us from pacific union college. It's the PUC string quartet conducted by leroy Peterson.
Aren't you looking forward to being in heaven when you have a harp, a violin and a cello? Amen. At this time, let's bow our heads for prayer. Father in Heaven, thank you so much for bringing us here this morning to worship you. I pray that we will have clean hearts and pure minds as we open up Your Word this morning to study together. Please come and live inside of us, and fill us.
And be with our speakers in a very special way this morning as they bring us your message. I pray that you'll be with each person that's here. And those that can't be here, but are joining us from across the country and around the world, be with them in a special way as we open up Your Word and study together. In Jesus' Name, amen. At this time, our lesson study is going to be brought to us by our senior pastor here at central church, Pastor Doug Batchelor.
Amen. Thank you, debbie. Boy, that was beautiful. I sure appreciate the music of the PUC string quartet. That was a special treat.
And this is a special Sabbath school study program for a number of reasons. One is not only the special music we've had, but we're getting ready to study the last lesson in our quarterly for this quarter dealing with the second coming of Jesus. And if adventists can't get excited about the advent, then we need an injection of something. We'll be getting ready to go into the new quarterly. And I'm looking forward to this.
It's talking about agents of hope, God's great missionaries. And so I want to encourage all of our friends to--if you don't have a quarterly, we know we've got a lot of friends that are studying with us, that watch from other parts of the world, we'd invite you to go to your neighborhood Seventh-day Adventist Church and ask them for one. I trust they'll give one to you. You can study along with us. We also know that we've got friends who study with us from all over the world.
Just this week in our office, melissa, our secretary, handed us a note from some friends who watch in norway. It says, "we are a couple of Seventh-day Adventists living in west norway district. We are weekly together with you in Sacramento central church and are highly blessed during the Bible studies on the tv program. I'm a retired pastor, 76, my wife, 70 years of age." Hope I wasn't supposed to not say that. "And a special thanks to you, pastor Batchelor, for your teaching and dealing with so much personal experience.
" And then it goes on, says some very kind things. They even sent us a little wooden soldier that they made, wearing the armor of God. And I thought that was sure sweet. And this is from pastor, is it, beon and yon ronalay. Hope I'm pronouncing that right.
But this represents hundreds of letters that we get from our extended class around the country and around the world. Now just before we get to our lesson today, I thought it'd be a good idea right now as we are right between our quarters to, for one thing, highlight that this is the time when we focus on what the 13th-Sabbath offering address. If you look on the back of your quarterly from this last lesson that we're studying right now, you'll see that there's some special projects that are coming from the inter-America division. And it'd be good for you to just become acquainted with those two things, because that's where the special 13th-Sabbath offering is directed. Another things that came to my mind is right about the time this program's going to be broadcast, we are in a window of limbo between typical school seasons.
A lot of graduations have transpired, all the way from elementary up through college. And people are preparing for another year of education. And I thought, you know, it would be a good idea for us to take a few moments during out Sabbath school program and talk about the benefits of Christian education. So I've got my friend pastor don mackintosh. And he's gonna come up and I'm gonna just visit with don a little bit.
You got a microphone there. And we're gonna talk about Christian education. You had a few thoughts that you were gonna share. I'll probably interrupt. Well, you know, Christian education, that's what this is, "central study hour.
" And it's a very important part. But there are other parts of education. You know, going to elementary school, going to academy, perhaps home schooling. I like to say I was home schooled. My parents tried to send me to a school, but I never finished anything during the year so I had to home school during the summers at least.
So I had the best of both worlds. What are some of the benefits of Christian education? Well, you know, someone has said that Christian education is not costly. It's priceless. And I think what it does is it gives you a picture of Christ that's real. Your teachers, I can remember many different teachers like mr.
Penny. I'd always say he gave us his two cents worth. But he was just a Godly person. And many others through the journey, they just lived Christ out in their lives. And you know, it gives you the idea of the basics, the fundamentals.
Did you go to Christian school for most of your education. Yes. I still sort of am in Christian education now being a teacher. And so yes, throughout my years I went to, thankfully, adventist Christian education. And you know, parts of the world where we aren't blessed to be able to have a school system like we do here in North America, I would say the next generation kind of really struggles many times to make that connection.
I mean not everything's perfect about any educator. I know, 'cause I am one now. But it just seems where there is that commitment made by the parents and by the students, there's just a real benefit. Now, for instance, in europe I know some of the laws don't provide in all countries where they can have Christian education. They probably have more attrition of young people from the church than in countries where they do.
Yeah, I think that's very true. And then of course they're not as friendly as like some places to home schooling and what not. You know, and they think it's an organ of the state. And it's a blessing to be able to have Christian education. And I'm just thankful for it.
Now I don't know the statistics, but I would guess for young people that go to Christian college, a lot higher percentage end up finding mates for life of the same faith. That's right. You know, the old saying is, "the most important things in life are you're hatched, you're matched, and you're dispatched." The place where many times people are matched is when they're at school. And that is so significant. You want to be surrounded by many people, have friendships with many people.
And then making those friendships with those whose parents and the people that have surrounded them have a commitment to Christ. Did you meet mrs. Mackintosh in a Christian education environment? As a matter of fact, I did, but you know, I'd have to say it was kind of bizarre. I decided the way to kind of triage through who would be my mate was to take them out and read a chapter of "the Great Controversy." It saved a lot of money. Does that sound a little incongruous to talk about "the Great Controversy" in the context of marriage and dating? Maybe we should have been reading, "the Desire of Ages.
" That would have been more appropriate. Now probably--something I wanted to mention since you're up. You're right now the interim director of the weimar college. That's right. I mean my teachers out there from past are probably gasping, "ohh!" But yes.
Now you had one teacher; don told me he had one teacher, he--i don't know what grade you were in--you locked in the closet for a couple hours or something? Oh, thank you for mentioning that on television. I appreciate that. But she's out now and she probably knows where I am and she's headed this way. Well, I hope that you got the victory over that. You know, we wanted to--we did want to mention, "the review," last "review" magazine, we didn't get word to 'em soon enough.
And they still had the announcement about the weimar college closing. But just this last week, or I guess 2 weeks ago, the board of Amazing Facts and weimar voted that the college and the academy are open, going strong, full bore. Is that right? That's right. We're excited that it's open. Of course, you know, many schools already have known that they're open.
So we're kind of figuring out how everything works. But I can tell ya, it's gonna work. It's gonna be exciting. The Amazing Facts center of evangelism where afcoe is moving up to the weimar campus. We already have about students signed up for that August course.
That'll be our first semester in the college. There's still some room for that, so look, go to our website. Also the academy, we had a wonderful graduation there. Twelve of our students graduated. We had a robust 40 people last year in the academy.
And we're looking forward to another good crop this year. Amen. Well, I like what you said. Christian education is not costly; it's priceless. That's right.
Amen. Well, thank you very much, don. I just wanted to interject that, because we have friends that are watching that don't belong really to any church. You'd be surprised. And you might consider looking for good Christian schools for your children, because it makes a difference for eternity.
Now with that, we want to get to our lesson. We've got a lot to cover today. And I also want to remind you for those here at central church, following our study today, we do have some of the new quarterly. You'll need this for our next study. We are finishing "the wonder of Jesus," dealing with the second coming of Jesus.
And it's dealing with his return as king and friend. And we have a special offer that goes right along with our study today. It's called "the ultimate deliverance." Call the number. It's 1-866-788-3966, or that's -study-more. And ask for offer number 105.
We'll send you a free copy of the ultimate deliverance, talks about the second coming of Jesus. Now these weekly studies are brought to our friends by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. And we here at Sacramento central are a Seventh-day Adventist Church. Sometimes people here will say Sacramento central and they forget central what? Seventh-day Adventists, we get our name because of course we believe in all Ten Commandments, including the seventh-day Sabbath. And adventist means we believe in and are looking forward to the eminent advent, or return, of Jesus.
Jesus--and when Seventh-day Adventists stop getting excited about the eminence of his return, then something's wrong. We need to change our name or something. So this ought to be a lesson that excites us. "Return as king and friend," is the title. We have a lot of verses we're going to consider.
Say the memory verse with me if you could please. It's right in your quarterly, Hebrews 9:28. Hebrews 9:28. You ready? "So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear the second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him." Now, I was reading it out of the lesson, which is revised standard version. Jesus is coming back as our king and as our friend.
Now, one of the things the lesson is dealing with is the subject or the issue of how should we view the second coming? Is it good news or is it bad news? Well, it depends. If you're ready, it's good news. If you're not, it's bad news. If you're ready, it's good news. But if your loved ones aren't, you probably feel conflicted even if you're ready.
It's like Paul said, you know, I'm paraphrasing. He said, "I'm torn between the two. I want to depart and be with the Lord." What he meant by that is his next conscious thought was to see the Lord in the resurrection. But at the same time, he knew the church, what would happen to the church? And there was so many that weren't ready. And so he felt this paradox, this tug in his heart.
When I think about the second coming, it's very exciting for me, but there's a little anxiety there because there are so many that aren't ready. And I've got loved ones I worry about. Do you? And so you feel this inner conflict. It's exciting and you long for the Lord's coming. It is the blessed hope.
And yet you're anxious for those who aren't ready. And you want to work to get as many ready as you could. Now let's face it; if you believed the Lord was coming in one week, you would live your next week differently. I'm not even asking for a show of hands. I just stated a fact.
I can guarantee you that. Matter of fact, if we got a negative or a discouraging report from the doctor and we found out we had something terminal where we had a week, that would affect your life. Right? Everybody. And you'd calculate how you spend your remaining time very carefully. And if we believed the Lord was coming in a week, I think most of us would want to first make sure we had our house in order, that we were ready.
And then we'd feel a tremendous burden. We'd feel an earnestness. We'd feel this great energy and boldness about telling others to get ready. If you hear that you're living in an area that is prone to tornados, well, you might take some precaution. If you hear on the weather that there's potential of tornados in the coming week, well, you'd want to make sure you have batteries in your flashlight.
If you look out your window and see a tornado coming, there's a different urgency. You see what I'm saying? Well, friends, it's not just the predictions in the Bible that say Jesus is coming back again. I think we can almost see it out our windows right now. There is a lot of signs. And we're gonna get to some of those signs that deal with the eminence of his coming.
And I think that that ought to be mobilizing us to be ready for his return. Well, let's get into our lesson for today. There's a lot of material we want to cover. "Jesus coming back as our friend and as our king." Now the first section is dealing with "waiting in the outer court." Now I've given out some verses. I think somebody has Luke 12:40.
" Be ye therefore ready, for The Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not." All right, one of the main things that's being emphasized here is "be ready." We ought to be living with a state of expectancy. We ought to believe in the eminent return of Jesus and be excited about that. Now when the Lord says he's coming in an "hour that you do not expect," or "that you think not," what does that tell us? Does anybody know the day and hour of his coming? Can we know when it's near? All right, now in the Bible it tells us--there are a number of prophecies. We can know something about the eminence or the nearness of Jesus' coming. But no man knows the day or the hour.
And I think that you ought to be very careful when you meet people that say, "well, most people don't know, but I've done some math and I've got this date." Or, "I've narrowed it down to a month." I think you ought to be very careful about that. You ought to live in a state of expectancy. We shouldn't be motivated--how many people do you know that wait until April 13th to start thinking about their taxes? They just, 'cause they say, "oh, the deadline's coming." And when it comes to the second coming friends, you cannot file an extension. All this "left behind" theology--and I should probably pause here and say a little bit about that. There are three major views concerning the second coming about how he's going to come and the timing.
I'm not talking about a date. You've got some who believe in what they call a pre-millennial rapture--a pre-tribulation rapture. There's a mid-tribulation rapture. And then there's a post-tribulation rapture. People want to know: where is the coming of Christ in connection with the tribulation? Everybody believes there's a tribulation.
I mean Jesus is so clear that there's this great time of trouble such as there never has been. It is the time when the seven last plagues are poured out. But when are the saved caught up? Now in the "left-behind" scenario that was made very popular by a series of books written by a tim lahaye and, I think--is it jerry jenkins? That whole series is based on kind of the hal lindsey theology that was at first just embraced by our pentecostal, charismatic brothers and sisters, but it's become very pervasive. It is a new teaching. If you look into the teachings of luther and the great church fathers and spurgeon and the reformists, they all believed that this time of trouble came just before the second coming.
And so they believed in a post-tribulation rapture, that the rapture was after this time of trouble or really at the end of it. You read in Daniel 12, it says, "at that time, Michael will stand up. There'll be a great time of trouble such as there never has been since there was a nation even unto the same time. And at that time, thy people will be delivered." That's why Jesus says in Matthew 24, "he that endures to the end will be saved." Endures what? You gotta endure the tribulation. So some people think, "well, if I'm not ready when Jesus comes, then you know, my wife is, she's a Christian, and she gets raptured, then I'm gonna file for an extension.
I got a 7-year extension to get ready." No, that's exactly what the devil wants you to think. When he comes, that's it probation closes. It says the wicked are destroyed by the brightness of his coming. "But Pastor Doug, doesn't it say, 'the Lord is coming as a thief?' And then after he comes like a thief, then it's gonna, you know, he's catch people away. And there'll be 7 years of tribulation?" Turn in your Bibles to Peter 3.
I want you to look at something. Sometimes people quote a snippet of the Bible and they don't read it all in context. And they say, "well the secret rapture is when Jesus comes as a thief." Let's read what it says here. Verse 10, "but the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night." And people stop there. "See, he's coming as a thief.
" That's a secret rapture. Let's keep reading and find out. Does life go on 7 more years after he comes as a thief? "A thief in the night, in which," in other words in that night of his return, "the heavens pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up." Keep reading, verse 11, "therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you be in all holy conduct and Godliness." When the Lord comes as a thief, what happens in the world? Heavens dissolve, great noise, elements melt with fervent heat, the earth and the things that are in it are burned up. Is life going on for 7 more years when Jesus comes as a thief? No. When he comes as a thief, it says the wicked, they're either saved, you're caught up to meet him in the air, the dead in Christ are raised, they're caught up to meet him in the air.
Those that are behind are destroyed by the brightness of his coming. They're the wicked. Jesus said, "all the tribes of the earth will look and mourn and call for the rocks and the mountains to fall upon them, and hide them from the face of the lamb who is sitting on the throne." So when Jesus comes again, this whole idea of 7 years of tribulation that's gonna come after the rapture--let me ask you a question. Can anyone in here--and not everybody here's a member of our church, but I'll invite anyone to raise their hand and I'll repeat what you say. Show me one verse that says years of tribulation.
How many of you have heard about years of tribulation. How come something everybody's heard about that's so popular can't be found in the Bible? There are seven plagues. The Bible does speak of a tribulation. It doesn't talk about 7 years of tribulation. Where do they get that? Well there are 7 days when Noah was in the ark while the world went on outside before the rain came.
Some people have taken the last 7 years of Daniel's prophecy in chapter 9 of Daniel. And they sort of tear it off that 490-year prophecy and they hover it at the end of time. And they use that to say that must be the 7 years of tribulation. But it doesn't teach that in the Bible. Everything about the second coming is gonna be anything but secret.
Matter of fact, we got kind of a little list here that explains this. First of all, it says that his return, there'll be audible evidence. "the Lord will roar," Jeremiah 25:30, "from on high and utter his voice from his holy habitation when he comes." It's loud. Thessalonians 4:16, "the Lord himself will descent from heaven with a shout." The voice of the archangel, the trumpet of God. Psalm 50:3, "our God will come and shall not keep silent.
" So is there anything silent about the second coming? There's visible evidence. "Behold, he's coming in the clouds and every eye will see him." You know that, Revelation 1:7. "As lightening shines from the east even to the west," Matthew 24:27. Then Matthew 24:30, "then the sign of The Son of man will appear in the heavens, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see The Son of man coming." There's physical evidence. Revelation 16:18, "noises, thunderings, lightenings, great earthquake, great hail upon the earth.
" "Every mountain and island fled away." I'm reading verse 21 now of Revelation 16. "Hail, every stone like a talent." So look at what's happening in the world when Jesus comes. You got a resurrection taking place. You got thunder. You got roar.
You got lightening flashing. You got the earth shaking. You got hail falling. And you gotta go wake someone up and say, "did you see it?" Text message your friends, "did you hear Jesus came yesterday? We missed it. We got 7 more years.
" The Bible doesn't teach that. It is a very popular fairy tale. Now, catch this. It's not only important to know Jesus is coming. We need to know something about how he's coming, because the Lord warns us.
First thing Jesus says in connection with his second coming, "be aware lest any man deceive you." There's gonna be great deception when he comes. Did the devil deceive the church regarding the first coming of Jesus? See, there's two ways Jesus comes. Jesus comes like a lamb, and then he comes like a lion. When Jesus came the first time, the religious leaders, the jews were looking for Jesus to come like a lion and to overthrow the Romans and to set them up as the world empire. And they were disappointed he came like a lamb.
The devil had twisted the prophecies and got them mixed up. When Jesus comes the next time, the devil's done the same thing. He's taken the time when Jesus comes like a lion, and he says, "no, he's coming like a lamb. Everybody's gonna just disappear. It's gonna be quiet.
" He's doing the same thing. He's deceiving the world and the church regarding how he's coming. Both times he does it to create great deception. When Jesus came the first time, he deceived the church so they did not accept him. They were not prepared, and many were lost and deceived.
The devil is getting the world set up now for his greatest act of all. He is going to impersonate Christ. And I think he's going to create this counterfeit rapture somehow. Or just maybe a few people disappear. I don't know.
But he's getting the whole world deceived about how he's coming, so that there's going to be great deception. All right, I just wanted to spend a few minutes about that, dealing with that subject about how he's coming. So there's to be an expectancy. Peter 1:6, "in this you greatly rejoice, thou now for a little time you might have been grieved by various trials that the genuineness of your faith being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it be tested by fire might be found to praise and honor and glory at the Revelation of Jesus Christ." We're going through trials now. Our faith is being purged to make it like gold.
What is it that makes it easier to bear our trials? The expectancy that this is temporary, that Jesus is coming. That should buoy our faith and bolster us up. Titus 2:11. "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that denying unGodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and Godly in this present world, looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ." Very good. Thank you.
"Looking for that glorious appearing of our great God," "the blessed hope." How do you and I live a life of looking for? How do you live a life of expectancy of the second coming? What do you do different than what you're doing now? All right, I'm gonna let you raise your hand, but you get one sentence. How do you live a life where you're lifting up your heads and you're looking for his appearing? You live with a hope in your heart. I heard someone else say something. You're paying attention. Watching the signs.
Did I hear something else? Constantly studying in prayer. There's a special answer I'm fishing for; I'm not getting it. How about you're bold about telling people? If you're looking for his coming, you'd want to be letting folks know. Would you be happier? Is there an excitement? Do you get up with a little more zip in your hip every day when you're thinking that the Lord is coming soon? You know, when I was preparing for the lesson, and you're thinking about the conflicted emotions of being excited about Jesus coming and yet a little bit of fear, it made me think a little about d-day. Now, you'd be surprised.
Some people don't even know what d-day is anymore. That was this greatest army ever assembled in history to--and they landed on the beaches of normandy in France to liberate europe from the nazi occupation that had been spreading. And when the allies landed on the beaches there amidst all of the guns blazing and the fire, the people in France had two mixed emotions. The french citizens were exhilarated. They were thrilled.
Bombs were raining everywhere, and they were excited. They were celebrating. Because they knew that their liberation was eminent. Well of course the nazi occupation wasn't very excited. When the fog lifted that morning and they looked out on the sea and they saw thousands and thousands of ships and landing craft and airplanes coming in, there was terror.
They're all living in the same part of France when they saw that. The reaction was very different. Some were looking forward to liberation and being free. Others thought judgment. And it meant judgment and death.
It was terrifying for them. So it depended upon where your alliance was. Isn't that right? Where your allegiance is. If you're a Christian, you are an ambassador for another empire. This world has been kidnapped by an enemy.
Jesus is coming to retake the world that has been kidnapped by satan. We are here basically living under occupied country. So as Christians, if you think about the approach of Jesus, that's liberation. It should be great for us. If a person is not ready and they have made friends with the enemy--you know, even among the french, there were some that were not happy to see the allies approaching.
You know why? They'd sold out to the enemy. And they knew that judgment was coming for them. They'd betrayed their own people. So how you view the second coming is gonna have a lot to do with your relationship with Jesus. And something can be done about that right now if you're not excited about his coming.
Amen? You need to do that. All right, let me see here. "Addressing the fear factor." We're gonna talk about that. Matthew 24:30. Does somebody have that verse? "And the sign of The Son of man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see The Son of man coming in the great clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
" "All the tribes of the earth will mourn." Does that sound like good news? You know why it's saying the tribes of the earth? They're not of the tribe of Christians. Speaking of all the tribes of the earth, in contrast to the tribe of heaven. Now if you're a Christian, you're part of spiritual Israel. You are a part of different tribe. Right? And so we're excited, but the tribes of the earth are going to be mourning.
If we are ready for his coming, then we're glad for it. It doesn't frighten us. Revelation 22:12. I gave that to somebody. Got a hand over here.
"And behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." I always like to pause here and remind people that sometimes confuses folks. "'I'm rewarding everyone according to his works?' Well, I thought we were saved by grace." We are. We're saved entirely by faith and by grace, but our rewards are based on our works, 'cause our works demonstrate that we have been saved. I mean what else is the Lord gonna reward us on? Our words? Our profession? Our nationality? It's our works that demonstrate whose side we're on. And that's the cause really, rejoicing not because of our works, but because we can look forward to his return.
Now there's a story I used to like to tell when I talk about the subject of the second coming. Years ago before they had telephone and satellite telephone and radios and all the modern communication, when sailors and whalers in particular on the east coast went to sea, and they went on a whaling run, it could be months, indeed it could be years, before they came home. They're families often never knew, depending on how the whaling went and where the--how the Markets were buying the oil, when they came home. Sometimes their voyages took them all the way to the southern hemisphere. It'd be tough to be married to a spouse like that, huh? And so there would be this attitude among the wives.
Some wives, when they saw the ship coming across the horizon, first they'd see the mast 'cause of the circle of the earth, you know. First you'd see the mast coming up with the flags. And then you'd see the sails. And then you'd see the boat. And if there were other boats, they'd be coming together.
And some of the wives, who didn't know exactly when they're husbands were coming back, certain seasons they knew it was more likely than others, they'd be watching the horizon. Some would watch the horizon with joy and expectation. Others would be nervous. They'd say, "you know, when I see 'em coming, I better start cleaning up the house. And I'd better start getting the kids cleaned up.
" And some of them were not real excited about their husbands coming home. They were very nervous about it, because they developed other relationships when their husbands were gone. And they were very afraid about their husbands coming home, because they might be caught with their lovers. And they weren't very excited about their husbands coming back for reasons that are understood. Then there were those who loved their husbands and they kept a light burning in the window every night.
They did not worry about when he was coming. But they would frequently glance at the horizon with joyful expectation. And when the ships did come, the reaction of the different wives, some would run down to the port and just be waiting for them with open arms. Others were back at the house kicking out their boyfriends and trying to clean things up. So it depended on how they were living how they viewed the return.
If we're living in a way where he's the one we love. And we're living in a state of expectation and readiness, then we're excited about his coming. Right? That's the way it ought to be. Matthew 25:31 talks here about these two different types of attitudes. "When The Son of man comes in his glory and all the holy angels with him--" by the way, does that sound like a secret to you? How many angels are there? Billions.
I mean if everybody's got at least one guardian angel, perhaps you've got a guardian angel, some of us need more than one, like me. And you got a guardian angel and you maybe have a recording angel. Some of them probably multi-task, but who knows, you might have--and there's billion people in the world. And if you've got multiple angels, there's billions of angels. And one angel comes, and roman soldiers guarding the tomb of Christ fall down as though they're dead from the glory of one angel.
One angel of the Lord went through the camp of the syrians and the 185,000 people died in one night, one angel. That also happened to Jerusalem when David numbered Israel, one angel. Angel of the Lord stood over Jerusalem with a drawn sword, thousands died, one angel. Can you imagine when the Lord comes with a billion of those characters? Nobody's gonna have to elbow you and say, "did you see the angels that came with Jesus yesterday?" They're not gonna be hiding their glory at that time. "So when The Son of man comes in his glory and all the holy angels with him.
He will sit on the throne of his glory and all nations will be gathered before him. And he'll separate them one from another as a shepherd divides the sheep from the goats." There are two great separations that happen where you can apply this parable. There's a separation that happens right when Jesus comes. First of all, how are they separated? Well, there's only two kinds of people alive. And there's two kinds of people dead.
You remember Jesus said it's gonna be like two men sleeping in a bed. There's two kinds of people sleeping: the saved and the lost. Is that right? Is there a third category? Nobody's in limbo or purgatory. There's only two kinds: the saved and the lost. There's two kinds of people alive: those that have their names in the book of life and the others, the ones who don't.
When Jesus comes, the saved, alive and dead, are caught up to meet him. They're all with Christ. The lost are not. There's a great separation there. Then at the end of the 1,000 years when Jesus comes down and all the saved, they're all alive now, are in the new Jerusalem.
All the wicked who have ever lived will be resurrected. There's a great separation there. That is probably more accurate to apply, that great separation, to this parable, 'cause that's when there's a judgment. And he declares to the sheep on his right hand, "well done, good and faithful servants. Enter into the joy of the Lord.
For I was hungry and you fed me. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was sick and you ministered to me. I was in prison and you came to me. And I was naked and you clothed me.
" And they'll say, "Lord, when did we see you?" Of course, you know, I'm paraphrasing. I misquoted some of that. "When did we see you in these conditions and minister to you?" He'll say, "in as much as you did it to the least of these, my brethren, you did it to me." Then of course, he'll turn to the lost and he repeats the opposite to them. And say, "Lord, but we would have helped you." He says, "in as much as you did not minister to the least of these, you did not do it to me." So every Christian is to be ministering to those around us. Hungry? Give them the bread of life, give 'em physical bread.
Thirsty? We should give water and drink to the thirsty, give them the living water. Naked? We ought to clothe the naked. We should care. Bible says, "this is the fast that I've chosen that you clothe the naked and do not hide yourself from your own flesh." But we should also provide the robe of Christ's righteousness for those who are spiritually naked, right? "I was in prison." We should have prison ministry. A lot of people who are incarcerated, they come to the Lord in those circumstances.
It's a great opportunity. But there are people who are in prison by sin that need liberation as well. Those who are sick, we ought to have medical ministry. Healing, that's part of Christianity, but those who are sick with sin. So all of these things the church ought to be doing, there's both the literal and a spiritual application for those things as well.
So is the second coming good news or bad news? It's good news. Someone read Isaiah 25:9. "And it will be said in that day, behold, this is our God for whom we have waited, that he might save us. This is the Lord for whom we have waited." This is our God. Go ahead.
"Rejoice and be glad in his salvation." Yeah, so what's our attitude to be? This is our God. We've waited for him and he will save us. Let us "rejoice and be glad in his salvation." Christians ought to be excited about Jesus coming again. Let's face it; there's a lot of problems in the world. There's a lot of sickness.
There's a lot of death. There's a lot of trouble. What's going to be the ultimate solution for all the misery in this world? The great answer is the second coming. Man has no answers. If you're looking for man to improve life in the world, so we can have a little bit of repose before Jesus comes, Jesus said, "there's gonna be wars and rumors of war, but this is not the end.
" In other words, from his time to the present day, there's "war and rumors of war." There's all kinds of anxiety among the nations. Fear and perplexity. Peter 2:7. I gave that out, and I don't know who has it. "Therefore, to you who believe, he is precious.
But to those who are disobedient, the stone which the builder rejected has become the chief cornerstone." Here it's telling us that you've got a big difference. Jesus is the rock of ages. He's that chief cornerstone. You remember the passage where Jesus said, "whoever falls upon the stone," here's the stone, you fall on the stone, "he is broken. But on whomsoever the stone falls, it grinds him to powder.
" Everybody's gonna have something to do with that stone. We fall upon it. And we are broken. That means that we're broken-hearted. We surrender to the Lord.
Our hearts are broken. He has all of us. "Falls on us," Daniel 2, "the stone destroys the image in its judgment." So we gotta decide. For those who fall upon the stone were broken. Was Peter broken on that stone? Matter of fact, in the garden of Gethsemane was a big rock.
And after Peter denied Jesus for the third time, you read in the book "Desire of Ages," he went back to that place. He went to that cold stone that was still wet with the blood and sweat of Jesus. And he fell upon it and he sobbed out his repentance. He fell on the stone and was broken. He became a new man.
And so the second coming for him was precious. But for Israel that rejected Jesus, that stone that the builders rejected, it becomes the cornerstone--it becomes a rock of stumbling, a stone of offense and judgment for them. And so then you've got that part of the lesson says, "now on the other hand, when Jesus comes for us, he's supposed to be a personal friend." I'm gonna read to you Philippians 3:20. "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body, that it might become like his glorious body, according to the working by which is he able to subdue all things unto him." Anyone here have a dual citizenship? Any of you have a dual citizenship where you're still--you know, I know some people, they were born in one country. And they will always have citizenship there, because they were born in that country and yet they immigrate to America.
Or maybe their parents were Americans and they were missionaries when they were born in another country. They got citizenship. They got two passports. Nobody here? Yeah, a couple people do. I've got dual citizenship: California and New York city.
You've got both. If you've been both places, you know they're two different countries, aren't they? And I can speak either one. Understand both languages, I'm bilingual. You know a Christian is an ambassador of another country. I've got a few thoughts here.
What is an ambassador? No, really, we ought to be thinking of ourselves as ambassadors. It is "a diplomatic official of the highest rank appointed and accredited as a representative in residence by one government or sovereign to another, usually for a specific length of time." If you are a Christian, you are an ambassador of another country. Your first loyalty is not to the president of the United States or whatever government you live in, or the governor of California. Your first loyalty is to the King of the universe, right? You're an ambassador that represents Jesus. "It is a diplomatic official heading over his or her countries permanent mission to certain international organizations, such as the united nations.
" In other words, you are sent from your country to represent the interests of your country in a foreign land. And do ambassadors typically have embassies that they operate out of? If you're an ambassador for Christ, then what is the church? This is his embassy. Do you know embassies in a foreign land represent a place of sanctuary? If you're an American and you lose your passport, or you get into some kind trouble in a foreign land, if you can get inside the American embassy, in the American embassy all over the world, there are American marines that guard those places. Right? I've been there. I've seen it.
And it becomes a little piece of territory that represents your country in a foreign land. Our churches are to be like embassies in this world of another nation, right? So when you and I come on the grounds on this church, this sanctuary, this 3 acres here at Sacramento central, this is a little bit of heaven. It is an embassy for God in a foreign country. We ought to remember that. It's a sacred place.
We ought to think about what's going on in the courts of heaven and see if we can model the behavior of angels here, right? Model the representatives of heaven here. And then, when we go from this place, we go as ambassadors. Do ambassadors--you ever been to New York city around the united nations, you see people walking around wearing funny clothes? You know why? They're wearing the clothes of their country. They speak the language of their country. All around the u.
n.--I used to live in New York city on st street, east side. And we'd go right down, walk, as kids, down to the u.n. They got all these international restaurants there. You know why? People from all over the world. They eat differently.
They talk differently. They dress differently. They act differently, 'cause they represent their countries. And as Christians, we know that our king is coming back soon. We ought to be living lives that represent his country too.
Amen? Well, we just about run out of time for the lesson, but before we go, I do want to highlight the free offer one more time. A lot of information I shared in our study today about the second coming, the secret rapture, and some of those misconceptions. It's in the lesson called, "the ultimate deliverance." We'll send it to you for free. I hope you'll ask for it. It's offer number 105.
And the number to call is -788-3966. I want to remind our friends, when we get together again, we're going to be in our new quarter dealing with "agents of hope, God's great missionaries." Looking forward to this. If you want to start studying with Sacramento central, even if you just get on the phone, call your neighborhood Seventh-day Adventist Church. Ask them for a copy of that. And I'm sure that they'll be happy to share one with you.
Or visit the church and study with them there. Amen? And do that. God bless you friends. We're out of time. Until next Sabbath.
In a world surrounded by darkness, there is a voice that whispers to ever young heart, calling them to find the treasure of truth. [Music] Those who follow the path will discover eternal riches beyond their wildest dreams. Join us for an "Amazing Adventure: a journey for life with Jesus," a satellite evangelistic series just for kids, live from Dallas, Texas on 3abn, September 12-20. Register now.

Recently as I was driving to one of the churches in my district, I was listening to the radio to get caught up on the news. It was all about President Trump’s tweets regarding the NFL and the National Anthem, escalating tensions with North Korea, and the impact of the latest hurricane on Puerto Rico. After the Las Vegas tragedy, I couldn’t help but think about how the intense divisiveness in our country is impacting our congregations. In general, I worry if we are now becoming too tolerant of bad behavior in this country.
Where is the line between tolerance and intolerance when it comes to the words and actions that we choose as people of faith?
When people demand to have their personal needs and wants met—over and against the church’s mission. Because congregations are mission-driven organizations, this behavior is inappropriate.
When folks spread conflict in thousands of ways instead of dealing directly with the person who is frustrating them. Instead they spread negativity throughout the congregation.
When members circumvent the accepted governing and decision-making structures to push a personal agenda.
When folks use bullying behaviors (e.g., name-calling, verbal attacks, gossip). If it’s not OK on the playground at school, then it’s not OK in the congregation.
When a congregation establishes proper channels to give people ways to express concerns and get them addressed, and people refuse to use those proper channels but take their concerns to “the court of public opinion” by writing a negative blog about the congregation, starting a petition, posting negative comments on Facebook, etc.
When the leadership of a church refuses to establish proper channels for concerns and instead labels folks as antagonists.
When people withhold money as a way of pressuring the organization into giving them their way.
When people take their toys and go home without any conversation at all.
There are some common patterns that I’ve noticed with congregations that tolerate too many inappropriate behaviors.
Excusing those who behave badly. The most common phrase I hear is: “Well, that’s just [fill in the name]. S/he has been like that for years.” This is one of the most frustrating patterns for me. Just because the behavior has been tolerated in the past doesn’t make it right.
Freezing up when somebody acts out. People may complain later—out in the parking lot or on the phone with a friend--but don’t hold one another accountable to any standard of behavior.
Relying too much on the pastor, denominational executive or someone else to deal with issues. I’ve told many pastors not to let themselves become behavior police for the congregation. The risk is that the pastor will wind up too far out on a limb alone. Some people, instead of supporting the pastor, will just cut the limb off.
Congregations that tolerate bad behavior are not mission-driven but instead are consumer-oriented. They have created a social club where people are not being led and challenged to grow in their spiritual journey.
With the intense divisiveness in our country, congregations are well-positioned to role-model a different way of being together, meeting real needs and building connections across the divides. When the recent hurricanes devastated so many places, folks did come together to help each other. But I wonder why it takes a crisis to pull us together—and I’m not alone.
Many congregations are now stepping up and using this moment to speak out against hate in all forms and to connect with folks they don’t know, whose cultures and experiences they don’t yet understand. But we also need to pay attention to the ways we treat each another inside our congregations.
Create a behavioral covenant. A behavioral covenant is a simple set of promises we make to one another to create a healthy “immune system” for the congregation. Creating a covenant helps to identify unspoken patterns of behavior in the congregation and allows the congregation to establish better practices.
Teach the congregation how to use “circle processes” to help people talk. These practices can be used for adult education, fellowship events and especially to talk about the tough stuff. I’m a big believer in circle methods for talking. A helpful resource is The Little Book of Circle Processes: A New/Old Approach to Peacemaking by Kay Pranis.
Help the congregation to identify its invisible fault lines—natural differences between groups, such those who attend different worship services, come from different congregations that have merged, who belong to different generations. Fault lines are often harmless until a conflict arises: then the congregation breaks along its fault lines. Be intentional about helping people get to know one another across the fault lines. If you usually go to the traditional service, figure out a way to get to know the people who go to the contemporary service. This is great preventive medicine.
Help your members form relationships with people who belong other groups and faith communities in your community. Now is the time for all of us to step out of our comfort zones!
I am confident that somehow we will make it through this time, so long as our political leaders don’t do something cataclysmic. Good people of all faiths will stand up to words and actions that are unacceptable. We need to be mobilized to do that, for the time is now.

Mobile Money Operators (MMOs) in the country sealed N329.12 billion worth of transactions in the first three months of this year, New Telegraph has learnt.
An analysis of the latest e-payment industry factsheet released by the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System Plc. (NIBSS) also indicates that the number of agents used by the MMOs stood at 5,304 during the review period.
The report further stated that the N329.12 billion was achieved in 15.25 million deals among the 21 MMOs licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), adding that the total number of mobile money users during the period stood at 1.5 million.
It also disclosed that all the 21 MMOs have been integrated to NIBSS platform for interoperability.
However, further analysis of the NIBSS fact sheet reveals that mobile money services remain one of the channels with the lowest transaction volumes and value compared to other payment channels.
For instance, according to the study, the total value and volume of automated teller machine (ATM) transactions in the first three months of this year stood at N1.57 trillion and 212.37 million respectively.
Analysts indicate that with the yearly market worth of mobile money transactions in Nigeria estimated at N1 trillion, MMOs clearly still have to step up their game if they are to play a significant role in helping CBN achieve its 80 per cent financial inclusion target for the country by 2020.
The banking watchdog, as part of its policy to extend financial services to the unbanked, launched mobile money service in 2011 and, so far, 21 organisations, bank and non-bank, had been issued operating licences.
Interestingly, critics have attributed the relative slow growth of mobile money in the country to CBN’s decision to adopt a bank-led rather than a telco-led model for driving the payment platform.
Nigeria’s mobile money market is currently bank-led, which means only lenders are licensed to operate in the space, while the telco-led model, which licenses mobile network operators, appears to be growing at a faster pace in neighbouring African countries such as Kenya and Ghana.
However, in a chat with this newspaper earlier in the year, NIBSS Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Adebisi Shonubi, blamed the licensed non-bank MMOs, whom, he said, were losing focus from reason they were granted operating licences.
Shonubi said non-bank mobile money operators were licensed to serve as transaction channels and as agent for deepening financial inclusion in rural areas across the country.
But he insisted that this category of mobile money licensees had turned away from their mandate of driving financial inclusion in the rural communities, as they now operate in the cities to compete with the same customers being targeted by the big commercial banks.
Shonubi said the development was due to a “misconception” and “misunderstanding” of the objective of the licences given to the mobile money operators.
He said: “I think a lot of the mobile money operators have some misconceptions about their licences. Some of them believe they got a banking licence. Yes, you get a financial licence, but mobile money is not banking licence.
He also noted that most of the licensees picked up their licences because “it was cheap, without knowing what to do with them.
“Because of the initial low cost of getting the licence, a lot of people ran into it without understanding that it is a retail business and retail business takes a long time to grow. So, many of them were not adequately capitalised. For that reason, they always look for the closest thing they can hang on to do their business.
“That means, rather than go to the village and there are only one hundred people there, they chose to start doing their businesses in the cities, where there are thousands of people, half of whom already understand what the technology is, since most of them have smart phones and mobile money operators thus considered this easier for them to do business.
It would be recalled that last April, chief executive officers of commercial banks in the country, under the aegis of Body of Bank CEOs and CBN launched an initiative known as the Shared Agent Network Programme (SANEP) that had a target of attracting of 60 million unbanked citizens into the financial system in three years. The bank chiefs also, through the initiative, hope to enrol 40 million additional Nigerians for the Bank Verification Number (BVN) by 2020.
The bank CEOs said that they were committed to the aggressive roll-out through SANEP’s 600,000 agents in three years, beginning with 250,000 in 2018.
According to them, they planned to increase this figure to 500,000 in 2019 and that it will eventually hit the 600,000 mark in 2020.
Besides rolling out the outlets, the lenders also plan to upgrade all point of sale (POS) terminals in the country to about 130,000 points to make services such as funds transfer, bill payments and cash in/cash out easier for Nigerians.
Significantly, at a financial inclusion summit in Lagos last December, CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, disclosed that as part of efforts to drive its vision of 80 per cent financial inclusion by 2020, the apex bank would eventually license telecommunication companies (Telcos) to provide mobile money services.

Martin Truex Jr. went from a completely unraveled tire that left him a lap down to the NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup championship lead for the first time in his career.
Truex shot to the front after a late restart and pulled away to give Furniture Row Racing a NASCAR Sprint Cup playoff-opening victory Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway.
"I've had a lot of practice at it," Truex said about the on-track obstacles. "I think my approach really changed two years ago when (girlfriend) Sherry got diagnosed with cancer. My approach to all those things changed and made me a better driver."
NASCAR announced after the race that Truex's No. 78 Toyota failed the laser inspection, but the infraction was not at the level of negating the victory for Chase qualification purposes. Truex is expected to receive a point penalty this week.
Truex, whose team gets technical support from Joe Gibbs Racing, made the last four in the 2015 Chase. His 2016 season started with a near miss at the Daytona 500 and a Coca-Cola 600 win, while Sherry Pollex has battled ovarian cancer. She's now in remission.
"You have to understand, this isn't the end of the world." Truex said of racing setbacks. "We can overcome it. That's what we did today."
"It's not yours until it's over," the 20-year-old Elliott said. "That's part of life, man. You're not dumb. We've all watched this stuff long enough to know these races don't go green that long."
"The hard compound came off it," Cole Pearn, Truex's crew chief, said. "I guess (Goodyear) saw a couple other tires and came down and told us a certain sequence number had an issue."
Jimmie Johnson dominated the middle of the race, leading 118 laps, until Elliott got by him on lap 176 of 267.
Johnson was running second when he was caught speeding on pit road during the last green-flag stop, yelling "no way!" on his radio when told he had to serve a pass-through penalty. Johnson finished 12th, but his car also failed laser inspection and he could plummet in the points standings.
Elliott led for 75 laps in what was a clean race with only three cautions until McDowell's late wreck changed the dynamic of the race.
"I feel for Chase. I know what he's going through," Truex said. "I wasn't going to catch him."
WHO'S HOT: Chase drivers Truex, Logano, Elliott, Keselowski, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch and Matt Kenseth all finished in the top 10. Jamie McMcMuray was 11th, Kurt Busch 13th and Tony Stewart 14th.
WHO'S NOT: Kyle Larson, who had the fastest car in Saturday's practice, had to change a transmission and start from the back. He finished 18th. Harvick ended up 20th amid multiple issues. Rookie Chris Buescher fell a lap down 41 laps in and two laps down before the 100th lap. He finished 28th.
PENALTIES: Based on new rules announced last week, Johnson could receive a 10-point penalty, which would drop him into a tie for 12th in the Chase standings. Truex could be docked 15 points, but the win locks him into the second round.
DILLON SUBS: Ty Dillon finished 27th filling in for Regan Smith in the No. 7 Chevrolet. Smith left the track Friday and returned to North Carolina after his wife went into labor.
COWABUNGA: With Nickelodeon the race sponsor, the winning trophy was a gold base with the four Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtles on top in various poses. Truex plans to put it in his shop so visiting kids can get a picture with it.
UP NEXT: Two races remain before the Chase field is cut to 12. Next Sunday is a 300-mile race at New Hampshire, where Kenseth won in July.

Ricky Gervais has confirmed that he is in the process of writing series two of After Life, praising the response from Netflix viewers, who have shared their enjoyment of the show.
The first six episodes of the comic's latest TV show premiered on the online streaming site last month - and has received acclaim from critics and fans alike.
Taking to his Twitter page earlier today, 57-year-old Ricky wrote: "Thanks again for all the love for #AfterLife.
"I have never had a reaction like this. The reviews have been great but the response from viewers has been f***ing amazing.
"And that means so much more to me. You are the best fans in the world.
"Oh, and I've started writing series 2."
Ricky wrote, directed, and starred in After Life, where her plays a local newspaper employee, Tony, who spirals into depression and becomes suicidal following the death of his wife.
To cope with his grief, Tony becomes rude and destructive - with the actor previously explaining that his character "turns into a psychopath so that he doesn't feel pain anymore".
Ricky added to Variety: "He’s really deeply in pain, this is a wounded animal.
"He gets drunk every night, he tries heroin, he tries being nasty, he tries therapy, but he just wants to feel better."
The star also spoke out about wanting to make a second series of the show, telling The Daily Star Sunday: "I always give things a good conclusion in case I die, and that's the case with After Life.

Overall: The Samsung RF197ACRS refrigerator is a perfect French door refrigerator for a smaller family (2-3 persons) that want a seamless look and feel with their fridge.
While it comes with a limited number of bells and whistles, it is still a wonderful fridge that will add a stylish finish to any kitchen at a price that certainly doesn't break the bank.
Notable Features: We always try to find some very interesting features in our refrigerator reviews and there were more than a few that we found in the Samsung RF197ACRS refrigerator.
Ice Maker in Freezer: I’m sure you’re probably asking how this can be a notable feature, well with all of the refrigerator reviews we’ve gotten over the years, one thing we know for sure is ice/water dispensers tend to have a great deal of problems. This refrigerator can guarantee that this won’t be an issue.
Easy Freezer Access: While the idea of a freezer drawer may sound terrific in being able pull it out and see everything in it, the opening and closing can be a real chore the fuller your freezer is. The nice addition here is it comes with an Easy Open Handle – basically that’s marketer’s speak for it opens and closes easily regardless of how full it is.
Quick Cool or Freeze: This really should be seen as a fun little feature to make your life easier. Samsung made it possible to take a compartment and bring the temperature down by enough degrees to get a bottle of wine cold enough to serve quickly or even to freeze meats faster to preserve freshness. This feature runs across both the fridge and freezer.
LED Interior Lighting: Alright so we mocked this feature when it first came out because it really looked like a bad episode of Star Trek but in the end it helps immensely in being able to find what you are looking for. Also, the lights never heat up which we’ve heard quite a few complaints about regarding regular 60w bulbs.
If you like this fridge but want to spend a bit less, check out the price of the other colors as they tend to run a few hundred dollars less.
Samsung makes a nice variance of French door refrigerators and while this one tends to be one of the least expensive models they make, it is still a quality fridge. Though if you would like to see other models by Samsung, then you might want to take a look at one of these.

There are the usual things people warn you about student life and they always say you won't be prepared for these things, but these things you actually are prepared for because you get warned so much. You will come up with a whole list of your own of things you weren't prepared for!
5. Registering at the Doctor's means peeing in a tiny specimen tube and sitting in a waiting room with said tube with loads of other people. This tube means chlamydia test which you didn't sign up for.
7. You will have mice. And if you live with boys they will scream and jump onto the sofas when they see one.
9. Trying to save money by keeping the heating off results in damp. Turn on the heating. Unless it's broken, then it's not your fault.
Was there anything you learnt at uni that nobody warned you about before?! I'd love to hear!
I hope I never loose my phone!
I lost my phone, back in the day when Sony Ericson were all the rage. I left it in the bathroom at a Uni event night thingy and it was never to be seen again.
I laughed out loud at this, I thought it was just my house that blames everything on our ghost!!
This is all exactly right!!!

The illustration needs no key. The sportsman has just drawn from the water a fine specimen of Adirondack game, and seems to be contemplating it with severe composure. The scenery will be recognized by visitors to the Wilderness, as a faithful representation of Adirondack woods and waters.
Once again Homer departed from convention (and the accompanying text) to depict a pair of guides from Baker’s Clearing. While traditional sporting images focused on the elite visitors, or “sportsmen,” Homer chose the local labor force to serve as his subjects. Here he depicted Charles Lancaster and Rufus Wallace checking traps on Mink Pond in late summer or early fall. The distinctive profile of Beaver Mountain rises at the right. These Adirondack landmarks and regional types would appear again and again in Homer’s paintings and watercolors in the coming decades.

More auctions – more pieces are sold and available during the months of June-July and August than any other three month period during the year – even the holidays!
With those points in mind let’s review some of the super cool and rare items that hit the market this past month.
Starting off the month of June is a great auction for a DT Darth Vader. Unlike Luke the number of DT Vader’s is finite in total quantity available. Only being released on a card back as opposed to the early bird mailer it’s truly one of the rarest loose figures in the Star Wars universe. It’s something that you rarely see come upon eBay and thus when they are available they go for big dollars, much like this particular piece.
Moving from an extremely rare loose figure we now have ourselves an very rare carded figure. Boba Fett will always demand the most dollars for any character in the Star Wars universe regardless of rarity in a series. That’s why we see poor example ESB and ROTJ versions of the Fett man rise to the $500+ range consistently in the market. This piece is the creme dela creme when it comes to Boba Fett figures, seeing more demand than any other cardback in the Movie and TV series for the character. To top it off you have the absolute best example seen in recent years with a grade of 90 and a clear bubble. The clear bubble alone drives up the price of this piece $500-1000 in price if not more. This is truly a stunning site for those that have seen tons of poor grade yellow bubble versions of the figure over the years. And to our enjoyment one actually came up this month, Droids Fett #2.
Realizing a price of just north of $4000 this piece shows that condition is truly a huge determining factor in the overall price of the an auction. Here we see more than a doubling of the value just for a 15 point grade improvement and a clear bubble for an excellent example to a Mint example. It just shows that those that want the best of the best are more then willing to shell out the dough to pick it up.
Is there that much variance between show prices and online auction price? I always thought that shows were more expensive and deals were to be found through eBay, but given that he turned down a figure that sold for over $4K on eBay I’m not so sure this equation holds true.
Is Toy Hunter a valid show for showing the value of items? We’ve seen a few errors pop up, and some believe this is causing more damage to the hobby then good. Well highlighting vintage is great under estimating prices is very damaging, especially for those that are new to the hobby and get a distorted view of product values.
Over the past few months we’ve seen several of the Canadian ROTJ Transition figures come up for sale on eBay. And why not after talking about ROTJ transition stickers a few months back on the Chive Cast Vintage Pod the segment of collecting is on fire with crazy prices realized and more in volume then we’ve seen in years. The stickers which were applied to ESB MOC figures in Canada create a unique looking MOC with a original look and feel unlike that of the ESB or ROTJ releases in Canada. This month we have three great examples to showcase, rather than reviewing each piece I’ve given you some specifics and a link to each auction.
One of the staples on the MarketWatch the Star Wars and ESB Figure 3 packs are truly one of the most unique and sought after items in the Star Wars universe. With 16 in all these items feature iconic packing with vibrant colors that coupled with their rarity puts them in a class of their own in the Star Wars collecting community. We’ve covered off so many of these sets over the past year, it’s hard to imagine that any slipped through the cracks and didn’t get at least mentioned on one of our MarketWatch segments. This month we have the pleasure of brining you 5 different sets of figures including the super ultra rare double secret probation Rebel, Imperial and Bespin Sets, all of which went for over $10K. It’s times like this when I think back to hearing about Jeff Jacob purchasing the run for $60,000, and think man he got a great deal! As we can see below the numbers have appreciated substantially over the years and I couldn’t see a set of these going for much less then $80-90K.
The fact that the picture of the Royal Guard shows the figure wearing a cape and holding a staff but the figure didn’t include the cape, or the staff.
The fact that this figure is only Raiders colors away from being a Headman figure.
Whichever reason you choose this is truly a fun item to end our June MarketWatch with.
Until next time – Wampa Wampa!

What Age Can You No Longer Be On Your Parents Automobile Insurance?
There is no car insurance age limit to get off your parent’s automobile insurance. Insurance companies rate policies that are vehicle and household specific rather than age specific. If you are a teen who’s dependent on your parents, you must stick to their existent policy. Not only will this help you to enjoy the existing discounts, it will also cost you way too less than getting an independent insurance. In case you move out, or become financially independent, you should get a new policy to your name for coverage.
Is there a car insurance age limit to get off your parent’s insurance. Well no, there’s no such age limit prescribed by insurance companies because there are no car insurance age groups categorization done by insurers. In fact in most cases, parents add their children to their existing policy, which allows them to take advantage of existing discounts. They just have to add their child’s name as a driver in their policy thus covering them with an existent policy. Not only this saves money, plus it let’s your child reap all the existing advantages of your policy, without having to invest in another. Some also take out a separate insurance policy to cover the young driver’s car. Some people stay on the family policy through college and beyond unless they move out.
Insurers have household specific insurance rules rather than age specific. This is done to help the aged car insurance. All the people living in the same house, who have access to the vehicle, and are related to the principle policy holder through blood or marriage, have the advantage of being covered under the same policy. The principle insurance holder has financial interest in the car, and the rest of the family are listed as drivers in the policy.
Even though it’s a personal choice to either add your child to an existing policy or to take out a new policy covering him/her, but remember teens are some of the most expensive drivers to insure, especially if it’s a male child. Girls are considered more cautious on the roads than their male counterparts, but as teens, they have overall high rates when it comes to automobile insurance. So adding your child to your existing policy can help you save a lot. Once he/she moves out they need to get a separate insurance policy.
Any teen with a driver’s license should be listed on the policy, irrespective of whether they drive the car or not. Insurance companies set your rates taking in account all the household members that are of driving age. A teen living with his parents automatically increases the premium regardless of whether he/she drives the car or not. So there’s no reason to not add them and give coverage.
All resident relatives listed on an insurance policy will be covered under the policy’s personal injury protection coverage. This covers medical expenses during car accidents (irrespective of the car they are riding in) or if he’s hit as a pedestrian.
- If the young driver still lives at home as a permanent resident.
- If he/she is a dependant.
- If they have frequent access to the family vehicle.
- If they drive a vehicle owned/ co-owned by a parent.
When should drivers get their own policy?
- If an individual no longer lives with his/her parents.
- If an individual is married or has children of his own.
- If he/she is financially independent.
- If the driver is the sole owner of the vehicle, carrying financial liability for it.
- If he/she lives permanently away from home.
Some people continue to use their parent’s insurance long after they move away from home. In most cases the insurance company does not realize the same until a collision occurs. Once your insurer learns about it, they respond by completing an underwriting review. If it reveals in their investigation that the policy holder is insuring vehicles that are not supposed to be covered under a family auto policy, they might deny coverage to that vehicle or might even cancel the policy altogether.
So, even though there’s no specific auto insurance age limit to get off your parent’s insurance, it’s a good idea to have your own independent policy in case you move out, get married or become financially independent. One should not try to commit a fraud in this case or else the entire policy might be nullified by your insurance company. In case you are a teen who’s financially dependent on your parents, it’s the best idea to get yourself listed on your parent’s existent policy because it’ll help you enjoy the existing discounts and positives.

The College of Policing is working in partnership with police forces across England and Wales. All Home Office police forces in England and Wales are eligible to take part in the programme. Participation is voluntary and, as such, the number of forces and the total number of available places varies from year to year.
The two-year programme is a blend of classroom learning delivered at the College of Policing’s regional training centres, and operational training and development in your chosen police force. You’ll spend 80% of your training working on operational rotations - learning first-hand what policing is all about. The remaining 20% of your time will primarily consist of taught lessons delivered at one of the College of Policing's sites, most likely Ryton or Harperley Hall.

Lol i kow nothing about yaks but what i read on here.
To small for my liking.
There are a few guys who regularly fish off kayaks on here and I’m sure they will help you out mate.
I will be asking the same question on similar kayaks.I have just joined the kayak forum as well,and a few of the guys from here are there as well,which is a good thing.For me when pricing a kayak that would suit my needs,i need to also include all of the safety gear,life jacket,flares,etc,as it will bump it up a few more hundred easy.I don't realy want to buy something that will spoil my whole kayaking experience,as i also would like to get into the water as cheap as possible.I'm also considering second hand.
For lure fishing get a pedal yak if you can afford one. On a paddle yak you can't easily move and cast at the same time - you are constantly alternating between holding your paddle and your rod. I found the most effective way was to guesstimate your drift direction, throw out a drift chute and drift over the target, then paddle back and reset. By comparison my pedal yak is like having a trolling motor, I am able to hold position over the target against wind and current while keeping my hands free for fishing.
If all you were doing was fishing at anchor there is very little difference between a pedal and paddle yak.
Definitely look at second hand yaks, you can usually find one fully fitted out for half the price of the yak and gear brand new.

I don't know a lot about yaks but you can hire yaks for fishing. Maybe give this a go first to get a feel of the one that suits you best and feel comfortable in.
The new mirage drive 180 looks good.

Looking to cut "gluteny" noodles out of your diet? Spaghetti squash makes a great substitute for spaghetti when cooked and pulled apart with a fork.
Spaghetti squash is rich in fibre and low in carbohydrates (pasta has 7 times the amount of carbs) and obviously the squash contains no gluten!
The broccoli in this casserole adds more nutritional density with its good serving of fibre to keep your gut health, plus its mega dose of Vitamin C will keep your immune system fighting strong during cold season. Lastly, the coconut cream is a great substitute for the typical heavy cream used in casseroles.
Get your squash on and make a pan of this filling and flavorful casserole. Its creamy, dairy-free sauce made with coconut cream is packed with garlicky goodness. I love making a big pan of this to have leftovers on hand.
I added shredded chicken breast to my casserole but this is totally optional. My secret way to easily make shredded chicken is to marinade it the night before, grill it the day of making this casserole, let it cool and then shred it in a small food processor. Delicious!

As I write this blog, I’m watching a TV show called Ancestors in the Attic where people have pictures or a document of a family member and they search to find out more about that person. Photos have a way of helping us to ‘picture’ what life might have been like for our ancestors (pardon the pun).
Recently my daughter and I watched a marathon of Downton Abbey movies, followed by a couple of movies from the Call the Midwife series. At the beginning of the movies, the year was given. As I watched the shows I also tried to picture what age my parents would have been at that time and what life might have been like for them during those years.
Growing up we had a clock that my father had bought, a clock that we had never seen anywhere else. I’m not sure what became of it and my sister and I have often talked about the clock with the girl swinging. I tried to remember exactly what it looked like, but could only remember the general look of it. Then one day while going through my photos, I found a picture of my brother and his wife at our house, and there in the background was the clock. Now with that picture I’ve been able to search the Internet and have found better pictures of the same type of clock.
Also in our childhood, we had a player piano at our house. A few years ago, while going to a museum with my sister and her grandchildren, we came across a player piano and she was able to tell them about the one we had, explaining something about how it worked.
At that same museum we came across some Watkins products and my sister and I had a moment reflecting on Mom using them and for a short time, selling them.
Sometimes when talking to my grandchildren about what life was like for me at their age, it’s hard for them to try to picture me sitting at a desk. But while visiting a museum a few years ago, I found desks that looked a lot like what I had when I first started school. So I took a picture of them and now I can actually show my grandchildren the type of desks we had ‘way back then’!
While looking through some old family photos, I came across one of my Mom with me and my siblings. Although I’d seen this picture many times before, this time I noticed something new. It looks like I (the baby) was wearing a dedication dress making me wonder if this photo was taken the day I was dedicated. Now I need to check with my siblings to see if they might remember. How I wish I had asked my Mom about it while she was still living!
So why am I sharing these stories with you? Because pictures have a way of bringing back memories and also of showing younger generations what life was like in our day. Life today is changing so fast and our grandchildren and great grandchildren will have no concept of what life was like for us unless we tell our story and share our pictures.
When cropping photos, leave in some of the background if it’s meaningful.
When visiting museums, take pictures of things that remind you of your background.
When trying to explain to your grandchildren about things that are no longer a part of life, look up pictures on the Internet and show them.
When going through your old photos, look at the details and try to figure out what they mean.
Include these pictures in your journals and write about their meaning to you.
When watching old-time movies, try to picture your ancestors’ lives during that time period.
Remember that old saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” and try to help your offspring ‘picture’ your life!

If you’re looking for Heart Device Management and Monitoring related services, then you’re in the right website.
The technology is accessible – all devices for the heart currently being implanted can operate a real-time distant observation. Our job is to get the information while working with the machine makers and the physicians so that if any irregularities that may be revealed between regular appointments of a patient, we can tell on cases to the Doctor’s clinic. More likely, the patient can avoid upcoming urgent in-patient care because a probable problem can then be cured much quicker in an out-patient surroundings.

I am converting my Data Factory Linked Services to use Secrets in the Azure Key Vault but have a question on how to pull the correct connection strings out of Data Factory. Is there not an easy way to grab connection strings from existing Linked Services in the Data Factory v2? If you view code of the Linked Services the connection strings are hidden via asterisks. I can figure out the connection strings and manually create them but it seems like there should be a way to view them in the Data Factory via Portal.
Actually we are working on that, trying to make connection string plain text except for the credential part. Please stay tuned.
Unfortunately, you cannot see the credentials in plain text once you set it in the ADF UI. This is by design to ensure your credential safety, especially when multiple users are accessing the same Data Factory.
Thanks for the response. I understand the need to mask the password and hostname even, but it would be nice if it showed the connection string format and masked the sensitive parts so I don't have to look up every connection type's connection string format.
Great to hear. This will save us time from having to do extra steps to gather this!

As a product manager, you know the drill. Coordinating designer and developer teams simultaneously while reporting to the boss via email becomes a drag.
But don’t worry, have hope! Using the right applications, everybody can work together flawlessly, in addition, you can save enormous time on execution.
We created a list of all the essential platforms a product manager would need, so anyone can revolutionize their team workflow.
We simply cannot overemphasize the importance of collaboration tools. Our team would literally die without them since these platforms allow everyone to get on the same page.
When developing a product, you need to make information available to all parties, communicate continuously with the teams and track the entire design flow.
Lacking the proper system renders this a nearly impossible mission – especially when some of the team works remotely.
Asana has become one of the best-known collaboration tools on this planet. The platform makes it possible to create dashboards, tasks, projects, discussions and much more.
Basecamp has emerged as the other hotshot of project management and collaboration tools. You can create to-do’s with deadlines, milestones, upload files and organize discussions within the software.
ProductHQ is an “all-inclusive” product management tool that aims to help product teams coordinate everything from planning to designing and development. It lets your team create a very detailed roadmap that can be easily followed up on, modified, and tracked. ProductHQ was created with the aim to visualize the entire product development process and collaborate with one another effectively. ProductHQ was created with the aim to visualize the entire product development process.
Another sweetheart in our team because it’s almost dummy-proof. Trello organizes projects into cards and boards to visualize a project’s current stage.
Price: Free, though the business class package for $9.99 / user / month. It offers more integrations and a higher level of security.
Nifty is a collaboration and project management hub fuelled by user-friendly design. It combines the core phases of project planning and management with collaborative discussions and messaging.
An all-in-one workspace for product, remote, and client facing teams.
Affordable, especially when you factor in the other subscriptions it will replace.
Their product expansion and feedback-to-implementation time moves at breakneck speed, so most product updates are a matter of “when” rather than “if”.
ClickUp is a productivity platform that provides a fundamentally new way to work. Unlike many other task management software options, ClickUp offers notes, reminders, goals, calendar, scheduling, and even an inbox. It is fully customizable, so all types of teams can use the same app to plan, organize, and collaborate on projects.
Multiple views: list view, board view, box view and Gantt, etc.
Hygger is a project management tool with built-in prioritization. The platform allows establishing specific project goals and breaking them into an actionable plan. It’s popular for coordination and collaboration functionality that provide full transparency of work. Hygger is a tool for software development, product management, marketing, creative agencies, and other teams.

In order to have a 360-degree overview of the current state and performance of your product, data is key. This is why analytical tools are an absolute must for any product team.
But which way to go? If you Google the term “analytical product management tools”, it’s actually quite incredible how many tools exist to help teams with that! So, how do you decide which one to go with? Here are some of our favorites.

Reports that researchers have traced a connection between some infections and mental illnesses like schizophrenia, depression and bipolar disorder. The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, shows that a wide variety of infections, even common ones like bronchitis, are linked to a higher risk of many mental illnesses in children and adolescents. The findings support the idea that infections affect mental health, possibly by influencing the immune system.

The recent theft of data on more than 16,000 UCLA healthcare patients taken from a doctor’s home sends a message to healthcare professionals: Patient information — electronic or paper-based — must be protected no matter where it is located. The Healthcare Professionals Sectionspoke with Charla Prillaman, regional director with AAPC Physician Services, an organization providing document solution services for medical practices, to discuss how best to protect electronic and paper-based information.
What kind of healthcare data needs to be guarded most carefully?
All of it. But Notaries are most likely to be involved with information relating to a patient's personal identifying information. Risk of patient identity theft comes with loss of information such as the patient’s name, address, Social Security number or driver’s license number. Any information Notaries need to record from a patient should be treated as critical and guarded.
Are identity thieves more actively targeting healthcare data outside the workplace, and why?
I’ve heard of thieves taking stolen patient information and using it to submit fake billing claims to insurance companies or Medicare for services to those patients that were never provided. When the money for the claim is sent, the thieves pocket it. Because patients are sometimes elderly, or sick, or don’t understand the Medicare process, the patient might not notice something is amiss for a very long time.
What steps should be taken by Notary healthcare professionals to protect information, either on paper or electronically stored, when it is taken outside the workplace? The best practice is that it not be taken offsite at all, but in reality that’s not always possible. Any data on a thumb drive or mobile device should be encrypted, and password access should be required on any company-issued mobile devices—after all haven’t we all heard of anyone losing their smart phone? For Notary journals, the journal should be locked up in a secure location, and the key should be stored elsewhere — don’t leave the key in the lock for easy access. Also don’t leave sensitive information in your locked car; thieves break into cars and steal things. The bottom line is that data security lies in human diligence.

Despite all of its stellar features, it is still a device which is susceptible to damage and wear and tear. And getting an iPad repair Service Center & Store in Rodney is a costly affair. This is due to the fact that the parts are expensive and a majority of the repair services often charge too much. They will also not disclose the details of the repair and often do not give a bill, which contains the said details. If your iPad needs repair work done on it, come on over to NZ Electronics Repair, where we are transparent in everything we do and will also give you the best prices anywhere in New Zealand.

This resonates. My paintings reflect my exchange with the world at any given moment. As does all autobiography, I suppose. I struggled over that word exchange, not sure how in language to represent the dynamic of inner and outer. Even those words fail me. This is the place where the road of language ends for me. How to represent the lived experience of being in the world and being of the world at the same time? I have read that we can never be sure when we use words to represent the world that we achieve perfect communication, because what each of us understands is constructed in our brains. The conventions work in most cases—baby, table, banana. We have general agreement about these things. Color is a little more confusing, we’re told; some of us are “colorblind” and others see more colors than most of us. My son-in-law paints lovely representational watercolors. They are not photographic, though he often paints from photographs that he has taken. They are loose and evocative representations of the world that he has seen. I have never thought to ask him what he hopes to communicate through them. I just enjoy their beauty and watch the evident pleasure he takes in working on them. Would he say that they are about him? That they are bits of autobiography? They certainly do record a fraction of his interaction with the world.
I know that we experience the world differently, he and I. But I have lost the thread. Why do I paint? Because it gives me pleasure, when I allow myself to do it, to break through the cage of my thoughts and judgments and just do it. Maybe that is why, because it gives me the opportunity to practice just being. And more. It allows me to practice the integration of being and doing, something that should be fundamental, the fundamental, component of our birthright, something that many of us lose on our way to growing up. For me painting becomes an act of recovery. I know that everything I experience goes into the work even though it is not recognizable on the canvas, and I am fairly certain that this process does not employ language as a tool. Painting gives visual representation to the way the world works on me. The way it flows through me, using the channels of my senses, goes deep into the body for processing, and reemerges through color and motion. Even so, I do not know what the images say to others, or for the most part to myself. At least I cannot usually tell any of us with words.
Groping experimentation: trying to learn that which cannot be conveyed in language. Even when part of the curriculum is contained in books it still needs to go down into the furnace for processing. My painting teacher is trying to teach me about seeing. I am trying to learn. That is why the paintings must go up on the walls so that I can look at them every day and try to grasp what they have to tell me. This is a slow, unpredictable, and often frustrating process. I can look for days without knowing any better what a painting needs. What I have learned is that it can’t be forced. This lesson rests on much experience. I think, “Oh, last time it helped to add a bit of red in the corner, or black lines or circles, so let’s try that now.” I have learned that it is helpful to have these tools in my repertoire, to notice and remember the impact that they can have in an image, but unless the image has requested them they are not likely to move it where it wants to go. When no messages come, though, at least I am beginning to have a few things to try, a growing body of gestures and techniques. And I have learned that no mistakes are fatal, one of the wonderful gifts of acrylics.
When the messages do come, they are very quiet. They are easy to miss. I’m sure I have already missed a lifetime’s worth, but I am hoping that the more I learn to pay attention, the more I learn to respond, the louder and more assertive they will become. They tend to arrive like a faint pulse of air in the body, as if someone has nudged me and then disappeared. I haven’t yet learned what to do with them unless they transmutate into language, which often happens in the middle of the night or in the dreamy half-life of early morning. I am learning to write them down. But I also wonder about my dependence on language. Is it possible for me to hear and act on these messages without having to wait for them speak to me in the language that dominates my waking life, the language that many scholars tout as the hallmark of our humanity? An artist friend asks “what happens if the words never come?” I hesitate. It would be ok, I say tentatively. But when they do come – words that help me to understand the image I have created – I feel a deep relaxation, the release of a tension that I did not even feel.
This morning I sit in a bedroom overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The window is open. All week the constant and ever-changing sounds of the surf have been with me. I am at Pelican House, a silent retreat house owned by the Episcopal church of eastern North Carolina. With eight other women writers, I am here to fill the well. We keep silence during the day as we write in our rooms or wander through the live oaks and sand, or sleep. In the evening we gather and listen to each other read. Life has slowed. We are filling the well. It feels luxurious; I suppose it is luxurious.
The Sunday paper mentioned that Runrig (a Scottish band I had learned about from my daughter) had a new CD out that week. It caught my eye so I went to I-tunes, several times, sampling their music without buying. The next day I bought a few songs and loaded them into my current playlist. That evening Jim worked late and I felt restless, at loose ends. I watched an episode of Without a Trace and then started a CSI but noticed that I wasn’t really interested. So I checked to see what movies we had in the house and ended up watching the first hour of A Room With a View, one of my all-time favorites. For the first time I saw that it is in part about misunderstanding what it means to grow up; more about this in a minute. My interest in the movie waned so I put my ten Runrig songs on shuffle, knowing I wanted more – I wanted an extravagance, an abundance. For some incomprehensible reason the sounds created by this particular Scottish band was what my soul wanted right now. And that it was somehow connected to my interest in seeing The Wind that Shakes the Barley, a film about the struggle for Irish independence. I never fully understood that link, two segments of the British Isles at one time overrun by the English, two places where my ancestors came from. The next morning, after yet another foray into I-tunes, I had 28 songs, which seemed a good number. The night before, as I played those first ten songs over and over, I felt the energy starting to flow in my body; until that moment I hadn’t noticed that it had stopped. In “Maymorning” the singer repeats the phrase “I’m alive again.” “I’m alive again.” Here’s the connection to growing up. When I was an adolescent, even into my twenties, I used to be overcome by these obsessions—with an actor, a band, a film, an author. I’d go back to the same movie three or four times in the same run, carefully keeping my return a secret, ashamed of my wasteful, frivolous, unseemly enthusiasm. And then I grew out of it; like Lucy in A Room With a View, I took hold of myself and dismissed these old obsessions as immature and childish, inadvertently starving myself of the food that only they could provide. When I confessed my Runrig obsession to my friend Jane, a pianist who grew up knowing herself as an artist, she said “oh that’s art, routine, normal, that kind of obsession. That’s what artists do.” She had known all along that it’s a thread you follow until it plays out and leaves you with its gift, which can’t be approached through reason. It occurs to me that maybe these dreamy obsessions are, in fact, meant to be private, or at least that it’s not a problem if they are. They may be my personal liturgy. I’ve come to believe that they can provide the energy I need to engage with everything else that matters in my life. And, before I learned this, I had been stopping the flow right at the source out of a misguided effort to grow up.
Last May, as soon as the semester ended I fell into Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall, a wonderfully meaty novel that tells the familiar story of Henry VIII’s intrigues and appetites through the eyes of his counselor Thomas Cromwell. I read the 600 page book in two delicious days, following it in quick succession with three other novels set during the same time period. None were quite as commanding as Wolf Hall, but together they provided a blissful interlude of conspiracy and romance. I started on a fifth book and after forty pages realized I was done. Whatever needed to happen through these books was finished and I could now get on with the work of the summer. My well, for the time being at least, was full.
“I wonder what happens if I do this?” I start with random experimentation, and then something catches the attention of discursive mind and it starts to frame the bare bones of a story, starts to guide the process, but still without a lot of what I learned to call “thinking.” It feels like there is a delicate balance between action and thought, between the pulse of energy and idea. I hear the word composition, but not having had formal art training, I’m not sure I know what this is, so I imagine that it is like argument in academic writing,, that it provides the energy that moves the piece along and allows for communication, and that somehow my groping method sometimes gets me to composition. I do believe that this energy, when it is present, allows me to communicate, or allows life to communicate through me? I do not feel in charge of the process. We, our bodies, are just on loan from life? Life is the purposeful force? What the poem wants, what the image wants, what the thesis wants – perhaps these are just ways of saying pay attention to what life wants. Meditation, journal writing, image making are all practices designed to tune into what life wants of this bundle of cells and processes called me.
Life chooses each of us and dances with the concrete circumstances of our existence – parents, location, ethnicity, class, time. Our lives unfold at the moving intersection of these two forces. This is not abstraction, this is experiential. And yet, with these abstracted words, I am guessing, groping. I wonder what happens if I say this.
Life chooses us. Our job is to pay attention. Life tells us what to say, if we attend well enough, if we are attuned. Life is writing, sometimes painting. I am trying to learn to trust it.
Titles are fraught. An apt one can induce ripples of anticipation and association, a bad one can irritate or mislead, while a mediocre one slides by mostly undetected. I have been fretting over titles ever since I was in college, the last touch on every term paper before I released it to my professor. I think I mostly get them “wrong” when assigning titles to my paintings — the titles seem to limit or define the paintings in ways I did not intend — but I just can’t stand the pain that lingers in my belly until I’ve attached one to a painting that’s about to makes its way into the world. Maybe I need more patience.
As I write I realize that the impact of a title may also depend on timing. When attached to a completed work it feels like closing a door, like accepting that the flow of history has stopped at least in this small instance, and you (audacious) can put a label on it. On the other hand, for this blog I had to come up with a title at the beginning of the journey, a title that signals my intention, that to some degree will actually create that intention.
And, already I think I’ve got it wrong. At least partly. Speaking? I’m not going to write about speaking except metaphorically, speaking as a stand-in for voice, which appears both in writing and in paint. So maybe it will do. A poetry teacher once told me that lists should have no more than three items, unless they are going to gobble up the whole poem. So I will follow her advice and not yield to the temptation to clarify by adding to the subtitle — writing, painting. What else might nudge its way in?
And Abstraction? What kind of title is that? Right after I uploaded my first post, I did something I tell my students to never do. I looked up the word in a dictionary. Actually, I don’t tell them not to do that, but I do tell them not to put the dictionary definition anywhere in their senior theses, not anywhere where I can smell it out. But that’s just what I’m going to do here. Abstraction: “the act of considering something as a general quality or characteristic, apart from concrete qualities, specific objects, or actual instances.” Yes. I am prone to this, but I will try to mitigate that tendency here; I will try to remember that it is helpful to tell stories. Abstraction: “an impractical idea; something visionary and unrealistic.” Absolutely. I am prone to this. Many years ago on a late evening drive from Durham to Asheville, my husband and I were arguing about some aspect of social policy, our eight year old daughter sleeping in the back. Or so I thought. But in the middle of the argument her head loomed over the seat. She looked straight at me and said “Ma. You live in la la land.” She had my number even then. Abstraction: “absent-mindedness; inattention; mental absorption.” Check. There are other aspects of the definition that don’t fit quite so well: “the act of taking away or separating; withdrawal;” and “secret removal, especially theft.” I can’t yet see their connection to this project. We’ll see what happens with them.
And then, of course, there are the paintings.
I teach writing. Or perhaps, more accurately, over the years I have learned enough about how to translate a vague idea or intention into a sometimes persuasive and sometimes elegant piece of prose that I can be helpful to others who have something they want to write. I did not set out to do this; I just followed my nose and it came. Somewhere I read that our brains are naturally attracted to certain subjects and processes, and if we pay attention to these particular things they grow in us. My husband has a knack for finding the elusive state shell of North Carolina, the Scotch Bonnet, on the sands of Ocracoke Island. He meanders along the beach and they come to him; our daughter the marine ecologist says that he has a search image for the Scotch Bonnet in his brain. I seem to have a search image for writing. The irony, however, is that I haven’t done much writing myself. “Those who can do; those who can’t teach.” I wrote a dissertation, a number of poems, recommendation letters, a journal — I write in a journal — but that’s it. I teach writing, but I don’t write. This makes me uncomfortable, hence this blog.
I am embarking on this project with only the vaguest of intentions. The idea came in the middle of the night and persisted for several days so here I am. I think it will become a place to play with ideas that have been pestering me for the last few years, ideas about how we know and communicate, about the line between language and other forms of expression. About art, creating, being. Abstraction. This has deterred me from writing in the past; I am drawn to big ideas and abstraction. Embarrassing. But that seems to be where this brain (this mind?) wants to go. My friend David the other day said that abstraction is a deeply embodied art form; actually I think he said sensory, that abstraction is not stuck in cognition but is rather a dance with the senses. He was recounting a recent argument. Ah, I thought. That’s much better. Perhaps I can finally own up to my fascination with abstraction.

This is a complex subject, it needs attention, it needs all your thought to find out, because you are the result of influence. When you believe that you are the higher self, and all the rest of it, when you say there is in you God, Divinity, the Atman - all that is influence. When the communist does not believe in God, he is also influenced.
You can understand yourself, who are a complex entity, by looking at yourself very very simply. And out of that perception, out of that seeing, out of that listening to yourself, you understand. You have to listen to yourself - not to your higher self - there is no higher self, there is no Atman; that is an invention of the mind, the result of thought, thought being the response of the mind, of the things that have been. So when you look at yourself every day, in every word, when you feel your way into the depth of your own heart and mind, then out of that looking, seeing, listening and hearing there comes simplicity; and out of that simplicity there is joy; and that is virtue.
Surely, there is only thought - thought as the machine-like response of accumulated memory. This thought has created the thinker as a permanent entity, the `me', which it then calls the ego, the soul, the higher self; but it is still the result of thought, because it can be conditioned to think whatever society wants it to think. The Communists do not believe in God at all, but you do, because you have been brought up in that belief. It is a matter of propaganda.

Karlsson, M. & Karlsson, H. (2006). Beyond the limits: On Violated Environmental Quality Standards and Health Effects from Particles in Sweden. Paper presented at In: Frostell, B. (ed.) Science for sustainable development : starting points and critical reflections. Proceedings of the 1st VHU Conference on Science for Sustainable Development, Västerås, Sweden, 14-16 April, 2005. Paper presented at In: Frostell, B. (ed.) Science for sustainable development : starting points and critical reflections. Proceedings of the 1st VHU Conference on Science for Sustainable Development, Västerås, Sweden, 14-16 April, 2005.
The thesis is concerned with the problematic question on how to manage complex environmental risks in a way that promotes sustainable development. While there are some positive signs on progressive and successful environmental policy, environmental change resulting from human activities still causes severe problems and risks worldwide.
Environmental risks are conventionally handled through a process in which experts try to quantitatively assess, evaluate and manage risks. This approach harmonises with mainstream interpretations of sustainable development, aiming at describing and prescribing a certain relationship between human and natural systems, for instance by policies that define limit values for pollutants.
Often, however, scientific incertitude (risk, ambiguity, uncertainty, ignorance) and diverging social values and norms as well as distrust, challenge such policies. The thesis describes this dilemma by an investigation of public risk policies in Sweden and the European Union for hazardous chemicals and genetically modified organisms.
Against this background, and in the light of new ideas on the notion of risk from social sciences, a new, complementary interpretation of the concept of sustainable development is suggested. This, in turn, is operationalised by help of new formulations of three principles for improving public risk management; the precautionary principle, the polluter pays principle and the principle of public participation.
Karlsson, M. & Kåberger, T. (2005). Polluter Accountability for Nuclear Energy Systems in a New Risk Context. Paper presented at Paper presented at the 7th Nordic Environmental Social Science Research Conference, Göteborg, 15-17 June, 2005. Paper presented at Paper presented at the 7th Nordic Environmental Social Science Research Conference, Göteborg, 15-17 June, 2005.
The polluter pays principle is a world-wide principal cornerstone for polluter accountability in environmental policy. It is a prerequisite for avoiding the establishment of too destructive industrial plants. According to EU legislation, the polluter is supposed to pay for both preventive measures and remediation related to adverse effects on human health and the environment.
That said, much remains to be decided when implementing the principle in practice. This paper investigates the operationalisation of the polluter pays principle in relation to negative effects associated with nuclear power.
More and less predictable quantities of radioactive pollution will pose uncertain risks to an unknown number of future human beings. How can polluter accountability be assessed and valued? Who should make these decisions and in what ways?

Snapshot: New series premieres: CBS’ SEAL Team (1.5, 9.7 million; Returning series premieres all down double-digits; Fox”s Empire (2.4 in 18-49) tops night in demo, SEAL Team in viewers.
After two days of fireworks with the big premieres of Young Sheldon, The Good Doctor and sophomore This Is Us, there were no big standouts on Wednesday night, which was marked by a steep overall year-to-year ratings drop for the Big 4 networks. The only new series, CBS’ drama SEAL Team, did solid business fitting into the network’s lineup with strong viewership pull and OK demo performance.
Two former No. 1 broadcast drama series, Fox’s Empire and NBC’s The Blacklist, fared OK in their moves to new time slots. NBC’s This Is Us decisively has taken the crown of highest-rated broadcast drama from Empire from the get-go this season (3.8 in 18-49 in fast nationals for the Season 2 premiere of This Is Us vs. 2.4 for Empire). Last year, they started at 4.2 for Empire and 2.8 for This Is Us, with NBC’s upstart edging the incumbent toward the end of the season.
Empire, which likely will be adjusted up (This Is Us went up to a 3.9 yesterday), was down a steep 41% from its season premiere last fall in its old 9 PM slot and off from its season average but even with its finale. It also provided a nice boost to sophomore Star (1.8), which had its best rating since its series premiere last season, which also followed Empire, outperforming its Season 1 average. Star likely also was helped by a crossover with Empire, so next week will give us a better indication whether Empire fans who sampled it will stick around.
CBS veteran Survivor (1.7, updated to 1.8 in the finals; 8.1 million) was down 26% from its fall 2016 90-minute premiere but matched its spring opener in the demo and topped it slightly in viewers. At 9 PM, new drama SEAL Team (1.5, 9.7 million) replaced longtime time-slot dweller Criminal Minds, whose season premiere in the hour last fall drew a 1.8 in 18-49 and 8.9 million viewers in the fast nationals. While SEAL Team was off in the demo, its Survivor lead-in retention was in line with Criminal Minds‘ last year. What CBS brass — which uses (and sells) largely total viewership as currency — likely will be encouraged by is SEAL Team’s viewership strength. The military drama, which expectedly appealed to older audiences, built on its Survivor lead-in in total viewers to rank as the most-watched program of the night and also topped Criminal Minds‘ 2016 debut. As for Criminal Minds (1.3, 7 million), the veteran was down year-to-year (from both debut and finale) while slightly improving on the Code Black premiere (1.2, 6.7 million) in the 10 PM hour last fall.
The Blacklist made its second time-slot transition with a 1.1 and 6.2 million viewers in the Wednesday 8 PM hour. That was off by 0.2 in 18-49 from its most recent season opener on Thursday but marked the drama’s largest audience in almost a year and its best demo delivery since November 10. Law & Order: SVU (1.4, 5.7 million) was down 22% from fall 2016 premiere and Chicago P.D. (1.3, 6 million) down 19% while up a tenth, matching their respective finales.
For Empire, and especially The Blacklist, which moved to a brand-new night, DVR bumps will be key in evaluating year-to-year premiere performance as fans are still discovering them in their new berths.
ABC’s lineup was down across the board from last fall though, all comedies were up from their finales, while drama Designated Survivor was on par with it.
The Goldbergs (1.8, 6.1 million) was off by a modest 10% from its L+SD demo debut last year, Speechless (1.4, 5 million) by 30%, Modern Family (2.1, 6.9 million) by 19% and American Housewife (1.6, 5.6 million), which aired on Tuesday last season, by 16%. American Housewife‘s Modern Family lead-in retention (76%) matched that of predecessor Black-ish on premiere week Wednesday last fall.
Designated Survivor (1.1, 5.5 million) tumbled 52% from its Live+same day series premiere demo delivery though the Kiefer Sutherland-starring drama’s strength has been in delayed viewing, so it may close the gap in Live+7.

“Clearly, Rick Scott is trying to stop all of the votes from being counted and he is impeding the democratic process. You can see this from his irresponsible, unethical and unprecedented press statement last night that he’s worried and he’s desperate,” stated Nelson in the video statement.
As it turns out, there is no investigation. Florida Department of Law Enforcement spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger said Scott did not submit his request in writing, and that no allegation of voter fraud in Broward has been sent to the Department of State, which oversees elections.
“We do not have an active investigation,” Plessinger said.
Friday afternoon, a Broward judge ruled in favor of Gov. Rick Scott and says Broward Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes must “allow immediate” viewing and copying of records that have been requested.
The judge added that it must be completed by 7 p.m.
Scott’s apparent Tuesday night victory over Nelson by 56,000 votes had narrowed to a margin of less than 15,000 by Friday afternoon. That margin would trigger an automatic recount after counties submit unofficial election results to the state by a noon Saturday deadline.
As of Friday afternoon, Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis led Democrat Andrew Gillum by a little more than 36,000 votes, while Democrat Nikki Fried was up slightly more than 3,000 votes in her battle with Republican Matt Caldwell to become state agriculture commissioner.
When Nelson says all votes he means all votes regardless of their legality.

Each and every season in Botswana has got something special to offer. Most guests would like to maximize their game viewing experience whilst on safari and as such the best big game viewing will be during your dry winter months of May to October. The scenery during the summer months of November/December to March/April is breathtaking, and beautiful skies compliment the green landscapes. During this time, many of the antelope species give birth to their young.
Botswana enjoys a continental semi-arid climate, which means rainfall is low and seasonal and the day temperature ranges are high, with low humidity. Botswana’s annual rainfall varies from 250mm a year in the south-west, to 650mm in the extreme north, and rain falls mainly between November and March.
The highest average temperatures range between 32°C and 35°C, while the lowest average temperatures are generally between 20°C and 23°C. Night-time temperatures can be very low, even below freezing at times during Winter. The hottest month is normally January and the windiest, August.
Rainy season: November to March is the hot rainy season and the roads can be quite bad. The advantage of this time of year is that most of the animals give birth, providing a wonderful game watching experience. The landscape is lush and green and there is an abundance of wild flowers.
Dry season: April to October is the dry season and the drier it becomes the easier it is to spot animals close to permanent water holes. At this time much of the Okavango dries out, apart from permanent rivers in Moremi Game Reserve and the northern reaches of the Okavango. The heat starts to build in earnest from October onwards.
When are the highest prices in Botswana?
When the migrant bird species appear, it is a clear sign that spring has arrived. The first to arrive are usually the yellow-billed kites and the carmine bee-eaters. The arrival of bird species will usually coincide with the first rains, sometime during September. Throughout the country most of the acacia trees are in bloom, the baobab, sausage tree and apple leaf are in bloom.
Tiger fishing is also now at it’s best. Usually by late October the heavy rains arrive, filling up the pans with water which allows the elephants to begin their migration away from the Linyanti and Chobe River.
Night time temperatures vary between 13-18 degrees Celsius and day time temperatures vary between 33-35 degrees Celsius.
The summer season begins in November and ends in March. It usually brings high temperatures, however, it is also the rainy season, hence cloud cover and rain can cool things down slightly. Summer is at its peak when you start hearing the very distinctive breeding call of the woodland kingfisher.
Woodland Kingfishers migrate mainly from Angola where they stay during the winter months; they are called intra-African migrants. They arrive a little later than most of the other migrants and immediately look for a nesting spot. The male and female call in perfect harmony. They migrate north again in April.
The water levels are at their lowest in the Panhandle now. Usually by early December the rains have saturated the ground. The first flood waters of the Okavango River arrive in the far northern regions of the Panhandle towards the end of December. Zebra and wildebeest begin their mini-migrations in the Makgadikgadi, Savuti and Linyanti regions. Another aspect of the summer months is that many of the antelope species like Impala, Tsessebe, Wildebeest and warthog give birth to their young during this time to take advantage of the nutritious green grass after and during the rains.
For those who want to see the predator-prey interactions, the summer months provide some of your best opportunities to see hunting behaviour and predator interactions.
Night time temperatures vary between 18-19 degrees Celsius and day time temperatures vary between 31- 34 degrees Celsius.

As the title suggests, the movie deals with the business world, in that Vince Vaughn plays a small business owner whose trip to Europe with his two colleagues goes wrong in every way possible. The comedy also stars Dave Franco and Tom Wilkinson, which is why you’ll also spot them in the stock photos.
This marketing tactic is amusing enough to have gotten everyone’s attention, including the many people who have probably never heard of the movie or seen the trailers. As a bonus, just from viewing the pictures on Getty Images’ iStock, you can get a sense of the type of comedy to expect from the movie: cheesy! And that might be why the movie hasn’t garnered great reviews and didn’t do well at the box office on its opening weekend.
But the marketing fun for this movie isn’t over yet. New pictures will be coming out March 16, and the following week, all of the images that were taken will be released so you can choose your favorite from the collection.

“Fred is now ready to restart his life as a result of being freed today,” his attorney, Robert Harper, said during a Friday hearing before Porter Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Clymer, adding he has been convinced of Fegely’s innocence since he started working on the case and was gratified to know he would be released.
“We’re very satisfied that at the very least, there is no way to pursue a successful prosecution of Mr. Fegely for felony murder,” Germann said in explaining why his office dropped the charges.
Fegely, 70, of Michigan City, faced the allegations after the April 16, 2015, fire in which Wanda Maxine Wunder, 94, died.
While the basement of Wunder’s home was identified as an area of origin for the fire, Germann said, the cause of the fire has not and cannot be established, and a chemical analysis showed no evidence of an accelerant at the site of the fire or on Fegely’s clothing.
He also dismissed a theory that there was a second area of origin of the fire on the home’s first floor.
“I’m satisfied that this is just not factually accurate, just to name a few of the important facts suggesting this was a fire that was not started intentionally,” Germann said.
Germann also credited the work of Harper, Fegely’s public defender, for the time he spent on the case, as well as the court’s authorization to provide “a substantial amount of money” for Harper to hire the experts necessary for Fegely’s defense.
“Without the money and the experts, I’m satisfied if this case had gone to trial, there was a real risk the defendant would have been convicted in a case where he was actually innocent,” Germann said, adding the case represented a great personal victory for Fegely and the county’s criminal justice system.
“My hope is the public will see this as a victory for them as well, because I want this case to serve as notice to everyone here that beginning Jan. 1, the Porter County Prosecutor’s Office will no longer be prosecuting the innocent,” he said.
Fegely, dressed in a black and white jail jumpsuit, orange jacket and rubber shoes, and with chains around his ankles and wrists, fiddled with a sheet of folded notebook paper before his case was called up.
He briefly addressed the court during the hearing.
Ogden Dunes officials who investigated the case said after the hearing that the dismissal was appropriate.
“We knew from the beginning this case was built strictly on the science and when the science fell apart, the case fell apart for us, and we support (Germann’s) dismissal,” said Police Chief Jim Reeder.
Fire Chief Eric Kurtz agreed.
“I think our criminal defense system is based on proof without a doubt and without the lab science to support the case, it was difficult to prove,” he said.
During an August court hearing before Clymer, Fegely withdrew a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity in the case, telling the judge he was afraid it made him look like he did the crime and was looking for a way out.
Fegely was charged in the case on Jan. 6, 2016, and has been in custody ever since, including the time he spent at the state hospital.
Harper argued during a mid-November court hearing that one of the state’s witnesses against Fegely had been discredited and the case against his client should be dismissed. He said then his client should be released on bond until a determination could be made on whether to move forward with the charges.
Action on the case was postponed until this month when Germann took over as county prosecutor.

Large plump oysters work best in this seaside favorite.
Gently pat oysters dry with paper towels. Place cracker crumbs on waxed paper and coat oysters with crumbs.
In 10-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add half of oysters to skillet and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining butter, oil, and oysters. Serve with lemon wedges. Makes 4 first-course servings.

Someone must have hit fast forward. Another month has gone by! My baby is now 7 months old. Not much has changed in the past month in terms of routine, although he sleeps in a little longer. Now I only have to get up at 7 instead of 6!
He has made many attempts to crawl, but one his toosh gets off of the floor and he has to put his knee down, he either face plants or backs off. This is how he has managed to scoot all the way across the floor, meaning the child proofing actually has to begin. He has already managed to turn the Xbox on and off several times.
Another new thing he can do is pull up using your hands: meaning if you just hold his hands and don’t pull him up, he will pull up to his feet. It’s his favorite thing to do. He asks to do it a lot.
Because of his new found mobility he is getting into all kinds of mischief, putting shoes and cords in his mouth, grabbing at the dog and cat, and even trying to get in the dog crate. See, time to baby proof.
Since B has started daycare (since day 1) his nose has run like a river. He has a bad cough, and has gotten an ear infection, which we had to switch antibiotics because amoxicillin didn’t fix it completely. Despite being sick he still is happy as can be and sleeps all night.
Feeding: B has made the switch to formula. He gets 6 0z. when he wakes up, 3 bottles while he is at daycare, and then 2 more before bedtime. He gets 3 snacks throughout the day. We have started meats, and he seems to like them! Lately we have been having a difficult time getting him to eat dinner. B is also allowed to get a couple of ounces of juice with water each day to help with his drainage from the ear infection. No success getting him to drink it yet.
Favorites: His table top toy that is propped on only 2 legs. He also really likes Thomas the Tank Engine (I guess he takes after his Uncle D.) He LOVES the water and going swimming, but only if Mom is holding him or his feet can touch the bottom. That’s my safety cautious boy!
Firsts: B can scoot on his bum and and will pull up when holding your hands. He went to his first cookout on July 4th. He had his first taste of juice on July 5th.
Medical: B has an ear infection in both ears. What started out as one, never ffully recovered with the ffirst antibiotic. Now he is on a stronger one or both ears. Luckily for me, when he doesn’t feel well, he just wants to sit on my lap and watch a movie.
Development: B is starting to crawl! He tries so hard, but sometimes he face plants. That’s OK, though, because Mom is right there to pick him up and kiss him and tell him it is OK. When you hold his hands he can pull himself up and stand! He even tries to walk. He loves going to daycare, where they do crafts (I’ll be sure to post them when I get them back) and he plays with the kids. B also holds his own bottle! We are working on using a sippy cup now.
Spend your Memorial Day weekend at the Alamo — Barbecue!
A while back my sister took us to this great place in downtown Richmond, Alamo BBQ. Right there, nestled in by 22nd street, in a place where I don’t really know, is the best darn barbecue place I have ever been.
“Alamo,” as we call it, has outdoor seating. You walk up, place your order and receive your buzzer. Then, go get your yummy food and enjoy the view. Ok, it’s not much of a view, but it is up hill and you can kind of see the city.
My name is Maggie. And I am a cornbread lover.
There’s something about this cornbread with honey-butter.
I ordered the Pulled Pork with Slaw sandwich, which is about $5.
I love Alamo, and I will be going back plenty this summer since I’ll be downtown for school. The food isn’t super expensive so it is college student friendly if you can get there. Maybe we will take a trip up there for Memorial Day!
What are your Memorial Day plans? I hope barbecue is involved!

Defines the duration in milliseconds between keep-alive packets, also known as pings. Default value = 500.
The ping frequency should be long enough to accumulate good statistics and short enough to compare with DisconnectTimeout. A good guideline is to have more than 3 pings per disconnect timeout, and more than 5 messages per ping. For example, with a DisconnectTimeout of 2000ms, a PingTimeout of 500ms works well.
