Becoming a successful virtual assistant (VA) requires a deep sense of commitment and a host of skills. Essentially, as a VA, you are the Swiss Army knife and the adjunct business manager for every client for whom you work.
What does it take to be a successful virtual assistant? A good start is to join the International Virtual Assistants Association (IVAA). The IVAA provides networking and advice, a shared code of ethics, and is one of the main stamps of approval for VAs. You can also join regional groups or their counterparts in your area, as well as the Administrative Consultants Association and the International Association of Online Business Managers. Your membership in these will let potential clients know of your abilities and that you’re in touch with new developments in your industry.
Design a custom package of services for each client’s direct needs. This list is both a mission statement and an agenda.
Constantly back up all documentation manually and in the cloud.
Execute all projects from beginning to end without requiring “hand-holding” from your client; be a problem solver, never waste time, and always meet your deadlines.
Practice complete confidentiality and a strict code of business ethics.
Knowledge means everything. For proficiency and competence at your assigned tasks, consistently update your software and prepare contingency plans for interruptions, outages or natural disasters.
Virtual Assistant is not a crucial task because even newbie in this kind of job can do this after a training.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The women’s ice hockey team suffered another loss on Saturday, falling to Providence 3-2 in overtime.
After Syracuse outshot the Friars in the first 20 minutes, they quickly seized a two-goal advantage in the second period.
The Orange got its offense going just 17 seconds into the second period. Alysha Burriss fed Kelli Rowswell the puck near the left circle, who delivered SU’s first goal on a wrist shot. That gave the already-dominant Orange an added boost of momentum. Syracuse, however, was just getting started.
Just over one minute later, SU found the back of the net again on a goal from freshman forward Victoria Klimek with an assist from Lindsay Eastwood. The Ontario native’s first career college tally came on the power play. This marked the only power play goal on a day of a combined 13 penalties from both teams.
The Orange headed into the second intermission up two goals. And with overwhelming control of the puck on the attack, it seemed they could cruise to an easy victory for the second straight night.
The game changed drastically as SU took the ice for the third period. Providence lit the lamp 37 seconds after the opening faceoff, signaling a complete role-reversal from the prior frame.
Seven minutes later, Meaghan Rickard tied the game on a pass from Christi Putigna.
Just as it had the night before, Syracuse surrendered the lead in the third period.
The clock wound down and the game headed for overtime. It was the first overtime period of the 2017 season for the Orange. However, it was one to forget. Three and a half minutes into the sudden-death frame, Meaghan Kelly found twine again, lifting her team to its second road victory of the season.
“I don’t know if it’s psychological versus mental, mind over body, it’s just not us understand what we have to do physically,” Flanagan said.
After surrendering a goal in the third period in last night’s game, Flanagan described the night as a “tale of two games,” because the Orange played so differently in the third period compared to the prior two. Flanagan said the same situation was true tonight.
The Orange is back out on the ice next Friday night when they take on Northeastern in the first game of a two-day doubleheader at Tennity Ice Pavilion. The Huskies enter play unbeaten in the Hockey East conference.

Assad came to power on the death of his father in 2000. He inherited the leadership of the Ba’ath party and of the army and was elected (apparently) with massive popular support – 97% of the votes cast. He was re-elected unopposed in 2007. As a result of his political hold in Syria, he has allegedly amassed a personal fortune of $1.5bn; he guards against the risk of losing his fortune by spreading his assets between Hong Kong, Russia and other offshore tax havens.
Maybe that’s why he is so keen to hang onto power.
Nice guy? I think probably not. Greedy megalomaniac? I couldn’t possibly say, but let’s just opine that the evidence seems overwhelming, m’lud and leave it at that.
But he is still, for good or evil, the current president of the sovereign state of Syria, which, of course gives everyone a bit of a problem when it comes to the Geneva II Conference on Syria. Not wishing to put too fine a point on it, but everyone (except for members of the current political elite in Syria) want rid of him and all that he stands for. He leads one of the two parties involved in the civil war though and therefore needs to be courted, for as long as he is in that position, as one of the two main players in the dispute. He still leads the Ba’ath party and it will have to be involved in the conference and the subsequent negotiations, when they finally happen.
The other problem in all of this is that the opposition alliance is fractured. On 22 July 2013 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reported that the Syrian government was ready to engage in the conference without preconditions. On 25 November 2013, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon confirmed that members of the Syrian government and of the opposition will be present. So far, so good.
But, following the publication of the list of participants on 20 December 2013, Hassan Abboud, the leader of one of the opposition factions, Ahrar al-Sham, said that they would not be bound by the outcome of the talks. The Islamic Front flatly rejected the talks. The Syrian National Council withdrew from the coalition in protest at its (the coalition’s) decision to attend the talks. On the other hand, the Syria Revolutionaries Front and the Soldiers of the Levant supported the talks. The Kurdish Democratic Union Party requested a delegation to the conference, citing the fact that Kurdish forces had created a semi-autonomous state in northern Syria.
So only some of the opposition attended. And some wanted to attend whose right so to do was tenuous at best. Those who did attend were unhappy at the thought of being in the same room, never mind the same city as members of the Syrian government. There was precious little chance, in other words of a negotiated settlement at the conference and it was important that an arbiter, trusted by both sides in the dispute, could be found. Fortunately, Lakhdar Brahimi, the UN peace envoy to Syria fulfilled that role and had opened communication channels to both parties.
Another interesting aspect of the conference, interesting and unavoidable, has been the input from international sponsors of the event. Perhaps the most interesting was US secretary of state John Kerry’s statement, “There is no way, no way possible, that a man who has led a brutal response to his own people can regain legitimacy to govern". Now, the fact that I agree with him is actually not the issue from a negotiating perspective. Kerry has to understand that putting a pre-condition that one of the two main participants is bound find unacceptable will, in fact, stall the negotiating process, not help it.
This negotiating tactic – putting pre-conditions on the negotiation - is interesting. It can be used to fulfil a number of objectives.
Define a principled stance or position, in the absence of which negotiation will be impossible – the “line in the sand”, if you will.
Positioning statements like these are often best delivered in advance or at the start of a negotiation. They can be used to set the scene and outline the background to any negotiated settlement. Opening statements can outline the shape of an acceptable deal and the beauty of them is that you can plan and rehearse them in advance.
John Kerry isn’t stupid. Maybe General al-Assad should get his exit strategy in place. Seems he can’t see that he is not wanted.

The Victim Assistance (VA) Unit provides victims of crime and tragedy with crisis support, information and community referral services. We also provide court support and information for witnesses.
The VA Unit works with community agencies, however our services do not extend to providing counseling or advocacy services.
Crisis Support: Responds on-scene with police to offer emotional and practical support to victims and conducts post-incident follow up, including offering resource referrals to victims. Additionally, volunteers take new victim referrals post-incident and offers follow up services. Volunteers maintain an ongoing case file offering victims peer support, court updates, Victim Assistance services and explains justice programs.
Court Support: Attends court orientation with witnesses and provides emotional support during trials. Offers general orientation regarding court and updates victims regarding court decisions and outcomes when required.
- On call shifts, as needed.
In-Station Drop In: Provide information services to drop-in clients which can include offering court updates, information about justice programs, and assisting victims with application forms.
- Able to report for all scheduled shifts.
- Willing to offer non-judgmental peer support.
- Practice empathetic and active listening skills.
- Participate in ongoing training and team meetings.
Working with victims is an extremely rewarding life experience. It demands individuals with an empathetic nature, active listening skills, non-judgmental outlook and a trustworthy character. Our advocates don’t rush to solve problems for others but rather look to support people to find their own path and to connect them to professional resources when needed.
Qualities we look for in volunteers include: a high degree of discretion, dedication, and motivation to help.
Crisis response can be many things; it is not limited to being called to a police scene. For victims, significant impact can be felt in the days and weeks to follow therefore ongoing follow up with victims at different junctures of their journey such as during police interviews, attending as a witness for court, and after court is important. Therefore, volunteers must be motivated not just by police calls but also to support victims throughout their journey.
Our volunteers enjoy making a difference for people, the comradery, and ongoing training the VA program offers.

Cheap Wordpress setups do not address the above points and they get even worse as your traffic increases. It’s much easier to address them at the start when your website is first developed than to try to improve them later on.
We don’t just create websites that are visually appealing, but we build sites that are responsive, ultra fast loading, optimized.
1. Site plan - name and number of pages with respective content in a word doc (upto 500 words per page) and images. Portfolio or Gallery images / video (upto 250 Mb Total).
5. For on page SEO add-on provide us 5-10 low competitive, long tailing and localized keywords that you need to target. Low competitive localized keywords works best for a new website. We try to get you ranking via on PAGE SEO but for guaranteed results you would need to take off page SEO later as well.
Note : You would need to purchase a premium theme, provide us the downloadable link or zip it and send it to us. Kindly submit all requirements stated above before or right after the purchase. Any new request once the work has been started or during design and development will be take as additional requirement and will be done via our maintenance hourlie.

To the pursuit of powerful lithium ion battery for integration into future automobiles and various advanced applications, new generation cathode with good storage ability and sustainability is intensively studied and explored. Transition metal oxides with ordered rocksalt structure are one the mostly investigated candidates, which are able to insert/extract lithium ions with good structural tolerance for low power applications. However, the practicality of ordered rocksalt-based materials for high power applications are still restrained several intrinsic issues. Therefore, advancement in current lithium ion batteries technology are demanded to fulfill the application requirements. In this thesis, preparation of several lithium transition metal oxides with rocksalt structure by different synthesis methods is presented. Their electrochemical properties as lithium ion battery cathode are discussed. This thesis aims to address the core issues related to ordered rocksalt-based materials from two perspectives, i.e. applicability of nanomaterials in improving the battery performance and comprehensive studies on the effect of cation substitution on the electrochemical characteristics. Another aim is to extend the investigation into feasibility of disordered-rocksalt based material to be applied as lithium ion battery cathode, which includes detailed studies on the effect of cation ordering on the electrochemical properties. Based on the results of systematic experiments in ordered-rocksalt based material (lithium trivanadate, Li1.2V3O8) with different morphology, the electrochemical performance of rocksalt-based cathodes is highly dependent on the particle size and morphology of intercalation host. Optimum cation substitution on ordered rocksalt-based Li1.2V3O8 demonstrates the possibility to circumvent the structural instability issues and further enhance lithium storage capabilities, indicating their promising potential to replace conventional LiCoO2 cathode. The study is then extended to exploration of lithium intercalation into partially disordered rocksalt-based Li2NiTiO4. To deepen the understanding of lithium insertion mechanism in correlation with structural properties, detailed characterizations on cycled electrodes are conducted.

A section of SH 70N in Hawkins County, Tenn., has been closed indefinitely after a mudslide occurred early Thursday morning, claiming the life of one motorist and injuring another.
Local reports indicate that the man killed was traveling south on the highway when the slide swept his vehicle 200 ft down an embankment before coming to a stop. Authorities have said the second person impacted by the slide is recovering in the hospital.
SH 70N will remain closed between S.R. 94 and Clinch Valley Road until further notice, and a detour will be in place while mitigation work is underway, according to the Tennessee DOT (TDOT). The agency's engineers are currently working to assess and repair the damage.
According to TDOT, slides and rockfalls are common in Middle and East Tennessee. Common triggers for these events are extended periods of wet weather and/or the freezing and thawing of water. The landslides typically occur in winter and early spring. The department budgets $3 million annually to address rockfall and slide issues, and often seeks federal disaster assistance to assist in covering the cost of major slides or rockfalls. Just in the month of February, at least nine slides have impacted state highways in parts of East Tennessee.

Building a Tesla coil feels almost like a rite of passage. Certainly my life didn’t feel entirely complete until I built one for myself. I’ve heard this project can be a little frustrating, and indeed it was. You should consider yourself fore-warned; if you undertake this project you are very likely to blow up quite a few transistors before you reach your goal. I did however, find a few tricks along the way which should help you save the lives of some innocent transistors, and perhaps reduce your frustration.
If you are winding your coil by hand I’d suggest you put a dab of super-glue or some other kind of sealant on the winding every inch or so to prevent your work from suddenly becoming undone. You’ll want to keep saving your progress.
See https://www.google.com.au/search?q=tesla+coil+primary&tbm=isch for quite a large range of configurations. Most of these primary configurations are geared toward solving issues that arise in high power Telsa coils. Higher power coils can develop issues whereby sparks run up and down the secondary coil or even jump from the secondary to the primary. Some Tesla coil designs also require fine-tuning the length of the primary, so using a bare-wire primary whose length can easily be adjusted with alligator clips is useful. For my small desktop Tesla coil using the slayer exciter circuit, none of this matters. The slayer circuit automatically tunes itself to the resonant frequency of the secondary, so fine-tuning of the primary isn’t required.
I did some experimentation with different kinds of coils. The primary which tended to work the best pleasingly was also the simplest. I just wrapped 3 or 4 loops of insulated wire around the secondary a small distance above the bottom of the coil and then used electrical tape to hold the primary in place.
The Tesla coil will still function without a top-load in place, but with a top load in place, the resonate frequency will be much lower. A lower switching frequency helps reduce the heat dissipated by your transistor, and in general, is less rough on your it. I’d recommend you don’t run your coil without a top-load as there is less chance of a blown transistor. Without a top-load my coil had a resonant frequency of about 2mhz. With a top-load added the frequency fell to about 1.5mhz; quite a significant reduction. The top-load for the coil can be any disc or spherical shaped object; I made my top-load out of a coffee-tin lid, for example.
This simplicity does come with a downside, as you increase the supply voltage your transistor will most likely die suddenly, and without any warning, this circuit can chew through transistors like nothing else. On the upside, with experimentation I found there are a few steps you can take to dramatically improve the lifespan of your transistors in this circuit.
The most important thing you can do, is exchange the LED for a Schottky diode. Shottky diodes can recover from reverse bias voltage much faster than regular diodes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode#Reverse-recovery_effect. By using Schottky diodes, your transistor is exposed to the negative base/emitter voltages which are generated by the secondary coil for a much shorter length of time. It is also beneficial to use a larger transistor than the 22222 and also attach it to a big, big, BIG, heat-sink. The slayer exciter circuit causes a lot of heating in the transistor due to slow turn-on and turn-off times.
In this improved circuit, we’ve replaced the LED with a much faster Schottky diode, D1. This diode does a much better job of preventing the collector-emitter junction from being pulled below ground. If the voltage on the base of Q1 is lowered below 0V (Say to -2V) then current will flow through D1 (which is at 0V) and return the base of Q1 to 0V. This drop in voltage at Q1 below ground can occur due to the inductance of the secondary coil.
D2 is added to protects Q1 from high voltages which may develop on the primary coil. The 1N5819 will break-down at about 40V which is comfortably below the TIP31Cs 100V rating.
C1 has been added to the circuit to stabilize the oscillations and to provide the impulses generated by the secondary somewhere to safely dissipate.
With the above modifications, you should be able to run the slayer-exciter circuit on much higher voltages without your transistors blowing up. This circuit is capable of lighting fluorescent from 3 to 6 inches away and even creating small (5mm?) sparks.
On the next post I build a much more powerful version of the slayer exciter circuit.
Previous Post Danger! High Voltage!
Hey, can I use a 100v 3300 microfarad capacitor? The others I have are 25v 100 microfarad!
Sorry for beeing pedantic, but it’s “rite of passage”, not “right of passage”, so “rite” like ritual or ceremony, not “right” like entitlement.
You are most certainly correct, thanks!
Thanks buddy for the heads up on the blown transistors. Had not thought of frequency overload. I am using MJL21194, as I have quite a few.

Many people suffer a slip and fall accident at some point. Even worse, the accident is likely not their fault. A slip and fall can happen to anyone and at any time. Immediately following such an accident, it’s crucial to know what steps may be taken. If the situation is not your fault, by law, you have rights.
Medical Attention – Most slip and fall accidents are minor. However, broken bones, head trauma, and internal injuries are not out of the realm of possibility. It is crucial to seek medical treatment shortly after the accident, first, to ensure you’re healthy, and second, for documentation purposes.
Inspection – If given the opportunity, inspect the area. Look for potential causes of the accident, including snow, ice, loose carpeting, or uneven concrete. Write down your version of the incident and take pictures wherever possible.
Witnesses – If anyone witnessed the accident, write down names, addresses, and phone numbers.
After adhering to the above checklist, consider seeking an attorney. If your injuries are serious or you are concerned you may worsen, speak with an experienced slip and fall attorney before anyone else. An experienced attorney understands best how to handle insurance adjusters and lawyers and offers the best opportunity to receive the money you rightly deserve.
If you have endured a slip and fall accident, contact Joe Knows Law by calling 972-346-5180. Our attorneys are experienced in slip and fall cases and will fight for your rights and proper compensation!

"New and Improved, washes even whiter"
It’s every ad man’s dream that we believe that strap line. Whether it’s detergent, cars or software, we are endlessly under pressure to upgrade to the latest all-singing all-dancing version of whatever, or our lives are somehow meaningless. Fortunately I’m long enough in the tooth that most of this stuff now washes over me, but even I have my weaknesses. There is now an all new Porsche Cayman!
OK, my cards on the table. After a string of second hand Porsches, and a lot of soul searching, I took delivery in Nov 2006 of my first ever brand spanking new Porsche. A Guards Red 2.7 Cayman, one of the very first off the transporter in Scotland. It is possibly the most basic car they have yet made, as all I specced on it were heated seats and cruise control; nothing else. No leather, no big wheels, no sat nav, no trick suspension. All I wanted was the car, not the gee-gaws. From the first few miles I knew I’d done the right thing, the car fitted me like a hand sewn glove, driving it felt so natural it was like I had the palms of my hands touching the road surface. It is not the fastest car that Porsche makes, indeed far from it, but it has always felt to me to be the closest to their original ethos of being fast by dint of being light and agile, rather than packing huge firepower. In this regard, I consider it to be the most "Porsche-like" car in the current Porsche repertoire. For the last 6 and a bit years and over 50,000 miles, it has been a totally faithful friend. Every mile in it has been a privilege, and to date nothing, but nothing, has tempted me to part with it. But now there is an all new Cayman, and I’ve got the keys.
When I first saw the 981 Boxster, my impression was how much bigger and more bloated-looking it seemed, compared to the outgoing 987 version, so I have mentally prejudiced myself for the same to apply with the new Cayman. Parked side by side, I’m dumfounded to see that in fact it is my older car which looks the bigger of the two, but how can this be as the statistics clearly say otherwise? I circle the two cars studying each line and the subtlety with which Porsche has re-styled the car slowly becomes apparent. The wheelbase is longer, the overhangs tighter, the flanks more sculpted; these are all pretty obvious, but it is the cabin where the real magic has taken place. The roofline is lower, the front windscreen is shallower and steeper with noticeably more tumblehome, the small rear side windows are longer, the rear glass is deeper and the tailgate stands prouder. It loses some of the delicacy of the old design, but there is equally no denying that it is one very handsome car. My test car is wearing a rather blingy set of 20-inch wheels. I’m no fan of huge wheels, although I’ll grant that the new car wears them better than the old design did, as I always thought it could easily look swamped by the larger wheel choices. Unlike my car, the test car is absolutely dripping with expensive options … PDK, paddle shifters, PASM, leather, sat nav, fancy hi-fi, parking sensors, and heaven knows what else. It’s a long way from my ideal spec, but let’s drive.
I’m always amazed at how much you learn about a car in just the first half mile, and before I’m even out of the trading estate and onto the main road several key things emerge. First the ride has been transformed. If the original Cayman has a glaring fault it is the very brittle and uncomfortable low speed ride. This gets ever more excruciating as our local authorities seem now to have decided that leaving our cratered, crumbling, pot-holed roads alone is their maintenance programme of choice, and are spending all the money on more speed cameras and flashing signs instead. The new Cayman treats this road mayhem with disdain, easing over the lumps with a silky, damped poise that is unknown to my car. I may like my sports cars simple, but I still like them comfortable, so the first point goes to the new car.
Then the steering makes its presence felt. Ah yes, the much discussed electric steering. I had already decided I was not going to join all the other sheep-like motoring journalists by bleating on about the steering, but it is true. The new system has a distinctly different feel from the old one. Again it has a silken, damped feel to it, but it has a certain deadness too, although I confess that as the day wears on I acclimatise to it. What I most certainly do not acclimatise to is the truly horrid steering wheel. It is the paddle shift "sport" version, with the silver spokes, which even have illuminated signs in them for heaven’s sake! It is too small in diameter, too thick in rim, and burdened with uncomfortable lumpy hand indentations. It is frankly an abomination, and is I suspect as much a culprit in the change to the steering feel as the change from hydraulic to electric assistance. Traditional Porsche steering wheels were always slightly larger and thinner than the competition, and were another indicator of "Porscheness", whereas this wheel belongs firmly on a BMW. Nuff said.
I am also quickly reminded that I simply don’t get on with PDK, at least not in a sports car. I know it’s efficient, and gets you round the blasted Nurburgring a second faster (as if that counted for anything back here in the real world) but on a high-revving, relatively low-torque engine, it just feels all wrong. Last week I had the pleasure of three days in a diesel Panamera which had the most blissfully well-matched auto box and engine, I would not have contemplated any other choice, because the whole set up matched the vibe of the car. I can’t say I feel the same for the PDK set up in the Cayman. Again, by the end of the day I was slowly getting to grips with it, but I yearn to try a manual version. And while I’m in a moaning mood, there is too much polished metal brightwork trim in the cabin and on the dashboard for my taste. It looks too much like an Audi for my liking: can I have it toned down a bit, please?
And that, you will be pleased to hear, is pretty much all I can find to say about the new Cayman that I don’t like. In every other respect, this is a truly stunning car, and all those 5-star reviews that you have been reading in the magazines are spot on the money.
I had borrowed the car for the day from the ever-helpful Porsche Centre Edinburgh, and was winding my way down the East Lothian coastline, stopping to take photographs in the arctic conditions, but enjoying the changing light. I pulled into the tiny Myreton Motor Museum, been meaning to go for years, and it provides a nice photo backdrop. The journey down to Gullane for lunch was pretty slow with traffic, so I just ambled along, which allowed me to appreciate just how comfortable the car is. The seats are damned near perfect, but so too are the driving position and the control layout. View out is excellent, mirrors are good, and you rapidly build confidence in placing the car, as praise be it has not put on any significant girth. Build quality is fantastic, clever detailing, doors shut with a satisfying thunk, boot space back and front makes it a truly useable two seater, which is more than you can say for some of the competition. Take note Lotus, Alfa and others; these things count every bit as much as spiffing handling and snazzy looks when it comes to parting with a serious chunk of cash.
Next to North Berwick where I contract hypothermia taking some rather nice pics of the car on the beach with the Bass Rock in the background, before seeking out some more deserted back roads to give the car a bit of a workout. This is the basic Cayman with a mere 275 bhp, and as any bar room pundit will tell you, that is a pathetic power output, suitable only these days for a Renault hot hatch. Real men need a GT3 and 450 bhp at the very least, and even the Cayman S with 325 bhp is really only a girl’s car. This is, of course, complete nonsense, stoked by the Devil’s triumvirate of BMW, Audi and Mercedes with their utterly pointless (but oh so macho) 600 bhp estate car offerings. Let me remind you that the original, pre-varioram 993 Carrera had 275 bhp, and I don’t recall that being thought of as slow. The truth is that the Cayman can outpace the rural back roads of East Lothian by some margin, and quite why you would need anything faster for real world motoring is beyond me. I could of course now take the empty, sweeping A1 dual carriageway back to Edinburgh and test the maximum speed, but as there are Gatsos every 5 miles, my licence wouldn’t make it back to the showroom. Isn’t this a wonderful country? I simply do not understand why people buy cars with such pointless power outputs these days (other than to brag, or drive in silly circles round Knockhill perhaps) so let me assure you that the even the basic Cayman is way faster than you can use on the road.
Driven with gusto on iffy roads, I notice something important about the steering though. The old hydraulic system had oodles of feedback it’s true, but add feedback, wide tyres and rutted roads together and you could often get a car that could be a tad unruly. Not as bad as my old 964 admittedly, which followed cambers and lines with the enthusiasm of a truffle hound, but you get the picture. This car is running very wide 235 front tyres, with the profile of a rubber band, yet there is not a hint of tramlining. If it exists, the steering is filtering it away from the driver and giving you only the information you need, and none of the distractions of running wide front rubber. Thus can you exploit the formidable grip on offer and cover the ground rapidly feeling very unruffled indeed. You know, it’s maybe even just possible that the Porsche steering engineers might actually know more about this stuff than Steve Autocar and Harry Evo after all! Rest assured that if you buy a Cayman, you are unlikely to ask for a refund on the grounds of poor handling and low grip.
And so I cruise back to Edinburgh along the deserted A1, at a tad over 70 mph to avoid becoming another criminal statistic. The real criminal statistic is, of course, driving a car of this utter competence at such a laughably low speed in perfect conditions, but someone other than me apparently knows better. (Yeah, right). I do however notice that the car is so high-geared it seems to be doing only about 2,000 rpm at this speed, and if I lift off even slightly it goes into "sailing" mode, where the engine disconnects and drops to 600 rpm, and the car coasts. Weird at first, but like so much of the new and unfamiliar technology on this car you get used to it surprisingly quickly.
I return the car to Porsche Centre Edinburgh with the usual thanks and pleasantries, and go to retrieve my own Cayman with some trepidation. After all, the new one I have just spent all day in is such a masterclass in how to make the perfect sports car that mine is bound to feel old, tired and inadequate. Porsche’s marketing department will certainly be hoping so. They are, however going to be disappointed, ‘cos rather to my surprise, my old faithful still feels remarkably good. The cabin is more restrained, but frankly no less comfortable. The exhaust note is very similar, and all the controls feel just a little bit more tactile, a bit less damped (yup, damped is the word that sums up the difference). Best of all, mine has that deliciously slim steering wheel rim, and the whole car feels agile, light on its feet, and eager to go. I drive home a happy man. I’ve beaten the ad man!
So the question is … should you buy a new 981 Cayman? If you can afford the ticket, unquestionably yes. It is quite simply the best car Porsche make, and as Porsche arguably makes the best cars you can buy … well draw your own conclusion. Personally, I’d say the sweet spot is a lightly-specced 2.7 car at around 40 grand-ish, but if it floats your boat you can easily double that by going for the S version and ticking all the expensive options (and yes, I’ve tried it on the configurator). But don’t despair if you can’t run to these sums of money. There is a plentiful supply of the original Cayman out there at a fraction of these prices, and today has proven to me that they are still fantastic cars. The new version may be new, improved and wash even whiter, but the truth is there was never much wrong with it before they started … despite what they would now like you to believe.

Premium Collection tablecloth by Lann’s Linens. These are the same professional- grade, luxury tablecloths supplied for lavish events. They are woven on a hydraulic loom from top-grade, 200 gsm (grams per square meter) polyester. This is the most-requested weight, since thinner material is prone to tears / stretch marks, and thicker material does not drape or hang as well from the table. The fine polyester fabric is extremely elegant, and each tablecloth will look fantastic after one use or many. Item is 100% brand new, first-run production.
I like it! I purchased a 70″ tablecloth to cover a 54″ table… I like it but just wish they would come in more sizes as the 90″ would be too long I think (an 80″ would be perfect). Still, the item itself is good. Others have complained about wrinkles… Yes. Even after a wash and dry still had them, but they will come out with a hot iron and steam… Doesn’t take long… If you haven’t gotten the wrinkles out with the iron and steam, your iron setting is too low.
No complaints It’s a fine tablecloth, and quite large.
Its too shiny, making it look cheap. I … Its too shiny, making it look cheap. I was going to return it, but my cost for shipping it back to you, would have left me with less than a $2 refund. That doesn’t seem fair to me.

A Northern California nurse has received his brand-new Toyota TRD Pro Tundra courtesy of Toyota. We recently reported nurse Allyn Pierce had burned his Tundra in the deadly Camp Fire while rescuing patients at the hospital he works at from approaching flames. Pierce made several trips through the fire zone bringing patients to safety. The hospital would later end up burning down.
Toyota made good on the promise over the weekend and delivered his new 2018 Toyota Tundra TRD. Rockstar Garage has also stepped up to customize the truck. The performance parts company has also extended an invite to Pierce to attend the 2019 SEMA Show. Other manufacturers have also stepped up to provide aftermarket parts for the new truck.

As the author writes in the book's conclusion: "This book gives you the ammo needed to unleash a hurricane of humiliation. A courtesy flush won't do. The entire system needs cleansing. So get to work."
I found my eyes glazing over half way through this book. It was shady politician after shady politician and all the names just blurred together after a while.
The problem with these books is that they are written by biased authors, who only skew their opponents. If this book had been written by a Democrat, I'd have loved it.

And 55 MPs sent a letter to the Secretary of State to back them up.
10 Downing Street just got a visit from Global Citizen, the ONE Campaign, and the Send My Friend to School Campaign — to deliver the voices of 1.4 million people who want the UK and others to step up to help ensure every child has the chance to receive an education.
What’s more, 55 MPs and members of the House of Lords from all parties signed a letter calling on the Secretary of State for International Development to commit to helping millions of children access education, by pledging £380 million in UK aid to the Global Partnership for Education.
Right now it’s estimated that 264 million girls and boys around the world are missing out on school.
That’s hundreds of millions of children who will struggle to reach their full potential in life, trapped in poverty and poor health. But this can change.
On the Feb. 2, the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) Fund will hold a replenishment conference — which means countries from around the world can come together and commit money to help all children get a quality education.
GPE is the only multilateral fund — meaning multiple countries contribute — dedicated exclusively to improving education in the world’s poorest countries. Since it was formed in 2002, it’s worked with more than 60 developing countries to improve their plans for the education sector.
So far, GPE has already helped 64 million children go to school. But it’s not enough. If GPE is going to reach the 264 million children still missing out, then it needs countries like the UK to step up and ensure that the replenishment conference is a success.
Global Citizen, alongside our partners, is calling for the UK to go to the replenishment conference and contribute £380m from the current UK aid budget.
That money alone would help 1.6 million more children complete primary school every year year, including 783,000 girls and almost 900,000 children in countries affected by fragility or conflict.
It would help train over 140,000 teachers and would distribute 17 million textbooks.
The UK stepping up would transform the lives of millions of children around the world.
We want to thank all the Global Citizens who helped make this hand-over a success. Because of you, the UK government has received a strong message urging them to deliver for the millions of children out of school.
Even MPs listened to you. The letter that went to the Secretary of State had MPs sign up from all political parties. Because hundreds of you emailed your MP asking them to sign onto this letter, Global Citizens like you persuaded an extra 12 MPs to sign up, making this a very powerful statement.
Getting children into school in developing countries is tough but it is something that we need to accomplish together. When Global Citizens raise your voices in unison, governments around the world listen.
Global Citizen campaigns to achieve the UN’s Global Goals, including for a quality education for every child, everywhere. You can join us by taking action here.

Hazardous Chemicals: New Project Starting!
ECOS have kicked off a joint project on chemicals with the Danish, Austrian and Spanish standards bodies.
The project, which is three years long, aims at developing a guidance document to raise the awareness of standardisers about hazardous chemicals in products and to assist them with developing specific provisions in product standards.
Provisions like this are needed to ensure that standards effectively help ensure that products sold on the EU market comply with the chemicals legislation in place, but also contribute to minimising the health and environmental impacts of chemicals in consumer products.

Community service is an act of kindness and generosity that offers benefits to both the givers and the receivers. In some companies, community service is seen as a morale-boosting activity that offers employees the chance to take a break from work and connect with each other and the people in the community. The good it does can't completely be replicated with money.
We asked members of the Forbes Boston Business Council for their favorite organizations that serve the community. The answers given are just a subset of the organizations that are out there. Check out the services below and discover some new ones on your own.

On August 4th ,1944, everyone in secret Annex is arrested. Someone may have betrayed them. They are deported first to the westerbork transit camp, and then on to Auschwitz. Otto Frank is the only person from the Secret Annex to survive the camps. The others all died. Anne was also arrested with all the others. In the Auschwitz concentration camp, Anne end up in the same barracks as her mother and sister. Later, Anne and Margot are taken to Bergen-Belsen. Anne dies there in February 1945, at the age of 15. Also on that warm, sunny day, that morning, investigators turn up at the premises at 263 Prinsengracht in amsterdam. They go up to the first floor, where the people helping the group in hiding work. The detectives question Victor Kugler and search the building with him. The inspection includes the room with the hinged bookcase and the hiding place behind it is discovered.
These eyewitness accounts can be seen in the museum and included in travelling exhibition and on a variety of websites. Around a dozen new eyewitnesses were in 2011, mainly friends and former classmates of Anne and Margot Frank, These individuals talked about their own experiences before and during the ar and provided a more in-depth look at the life of the Frank family. Bella van der Wilk-Kohlwey during her interview in 2011, she was a classmate of Margot Frank at the Municipal Lyceum for girls.They belonged to the same rowing club.
while many other Jewish families in Amsterdam were taken by the Nazis,Anne Frank and her family were fortunate enough to be prepared, and went into hiding early in the war. After her sister Margot received a call-up for a working camp, the family moved to a secret hiding place in her father’s office building on July 6, 1942.

On April 20, 2016 Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs Evan Ryan and Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Richard Stengel honored a group of extraordinary young leaders with the Emerging Young Leaders Award. These inspiring youth from around the world were recognized for their tireless efforts to promote positive social change in their communities. Amongst other achievements, this year’s inaugural group has been instrumental in creating safe and positive environments for at-risk youth, helped to spearhead inter-ethnic and inter-faith dialogue and reconciliation, and promote democratic transition in their home countries. Congratulations to this year’s award recipients!

The Reserve Bank of Australia lowered interest rates today. It is not all good news as the reason for the rate cut is that the Australian economy is not in good shape.
The aim of the interest rate reduction is to stimulate demand. For people using cash in the bank to earn interest for retirement, it is not good news at all. On the other hand, the property market and the finance industry will be the recipients of a higher rate of transactions and new loans.
The REIQ issued a press release after the RBA released its decision to the market.
The REIQ has welcomed the Reserve Bank’s decision to lower the interest rate to 1.5 per cent.
REIQ Chairman Rob Honeycombe said the lower rate would improve buying conditions – if lenders passed on the cut – and this would help the Queensland market which last quarter contracted.
“The state’s economy continues to struggle since the resources downturn and we saw the median house price fall almost one per cent in the March quarter.
“With wages growth virtually nil, inflation low and jobless numbers not moving, people need a little help with mortgage repayments and the general cost of living.
“It is our hope that lenders pass on this rate cut in full and give the benefit to home buyers, as the Reserve Bank intends,” he said.
The median house price in Greater Brisbane is $480,000 and the median unit price is $395,000.
For mortgage-holders with a $300,000 mortgage and a standard variable interest rate of 4.93 per cent, with the 0.25 percentage point cut, this could save almost $50 a month. The REIQ concluded.
In Melbourne, high profile investment property source, Accrue Real Estate, released a statement from its director, Jeff Grochowski praising the RBA for helping the Australian economy.
"We see strong demand for investment property in the Melbourne Market. The trendy suburbs now are outside the inner city around the 10 to 15 km circle from Melbourne. We are selling new properties in those areas to first property buyers who are renting a home while buying an investment property to lease to tenants"
"The market is strong and this rate reduction will see more and more people using property for wealth creation"

I’ve been interested in linguistics since early high school, and I give back by helping academic linguists learn how to communicate better with broader audiences and by creating resources for current “protolinguists”: high school students who would like to learn more about linguistics.
I do classes and workshops on communicating linguistics or LingComm: for the latest class notes and periodic relevant links, follow @LingComm on twitter and check the #lingcomm hashtag.
I did a week-long intensive lingcomm class at the Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language (CoEDL) summer institute in Canberra, Australia in November 2018 and an afternoon workshop at the annual meeting of the Australian Linguistic Society (ALS) in December 2018.
I organize edit-a-thons (workshops to improve the linguistics-related articles on Wikipedia) under the hashtag #lingwiki.
I contribute to the group blog Strong Language, a sweary blog about swearing. I also wrote a Medium post about how to get started with Twitter.
On All Things Linguistic, I run a series of interviews and posts about people with linguistics backgrounds who have gone on to work outside academia: the linguistics jobs series.
In July 2014, I taught two linguistics courses to 9-14 year olds at Explorations, a Montreal summer day camp for nerdy kids. I wrote summary blog posts each week with the activities we did and some reflections on the experience, as a resource for future linguistics activities with high schoolers and younger.
Crowdsourced Linguistics Part 1: What linguistics terms do you still have trouble with?
Crowdsourced Linguistics Part 2: What linguistics terms can you help explain?
In April 2014, I taught an introduction to linguistics course with particular focus on Mi’gmaq as part of the Bachelor of Community Studies (BACS) joint program between Cape Breton University and Listuguj First Nation. The course was a month-long intensive course equivalent to a single semester (3 credit) course. I did not summarize the course online, but do see a series of blog posts I did at migmaq.org as an introduction to Algonquianist terminology especially with respect to Mi’gmaq (parts one, two, three, four and five) and feel free to contact me if you’re thinking of doing something similar. See also my MA thesis and wiki.migmaq.org for more on the grammar of Mi’gmaq.
I’ve also been involved with LingSync, a web app for field linguistics datasharing. (features, Facebook, Twitter).

Aggressive glucose control strategies yielded mixed results for microvascular complications and did not appear to affect myocardial infarction rates in a new cohort study that followed patients over four years.
For patients with type 2 diabetes, emotional factors may influence glucose self-monitoring behavior as much or more than practical factors, a new study suggests.
Higher glucose levels may be a risk factor for dementia among patients with and without diabetes, a study found.
In patients with diabetes, telmisartan and valsartan were associated with lower rates of hospitalization for cardiovascular events than other angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs), according to a recent retrospective study.
In a meta-analysis, patients with two to four risk factors for diabetes were more likely to have new-onset diabetes if they took higher doses of statins.
What do I need to tell patients about hyperglycemia?
Patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes can benefit from advice about how to respond to episodes of hyperglycemia.

I am getting more and more confused as to the meaning of the words 'accessibility' and 'usability' *in the context of the world wide web*.
What do these two words mean? How do they differ from one another? Where does the meaning overlap, if it does? Where do they perhaps conflict with one another, if they do?
Can anyone please explain to someone who is not native speaking, nor fluent in English?

I am Mrs. Rozella Wittmeyer, I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside here in Texas USA.My residential address is as follows, 1109 Lake Haven Drive Little Elm Texas 75068 United States,am thinking of relocating since I am now rich. I am one of those that took part in the compensation in United State of American many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $56,000 while in the US,trying to get my payment all to no avail.
So I decided to travel to Washington with all my compensation documents, And I was directed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Director to contact Barrister Tony Gani, who is a representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a member of the Compensation Award Committee, currently in USA and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.
He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my compensation payment. Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds of $10.5 Million US Dollars,Moreover,Barrister Tony Gani showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your email as one of the beneficiaries on the list he showed me, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Barrister Tony Gani. Kinldy send your personal details to him to prove your identification.
You have to contact Barrister Tony Gani directly on this information below.
You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing. The only money I paid after I met Barrister Tony Gani was just $450 USD for the paper works, take note of that.
Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Barrister Tony Gani so that he can help you to deliver your fund instead of dealing with those liars that will be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction.
Little Elm Texas 75068 United States.

There is a fine line between advertising and spam and unfortunately many business owners do not understand the difference between the two. This is important because while a clever, well planted Internet marketing campaign can help to attract new customers and keep existing customers loyal, spam is likely to alienate both new customers and existing customers. This can be extremely damaging to profit margins for the business owners.
This article will take a look at a few basic Internet marketing strategies such as banner ads, email campaign and message board posts and describe how each can quickly cross the line from cleaver advertising to spam.

NOT sand, stone, steel and cement. Yes, humans, not structures. And urban development planning is something that most urban officials are not prepared or trained to do because their concept of development is myopic or blinkered, at worse, politically drawn.
As a result what we often get are more problems and conflicts amid the sprawling infrastructure and so-called modern amenities.
I am not and I don’t pretend to be an expert on the subject. I am more of a builder of communities, and by that I always put humans at the center of the subject, and the equitable and dynamic integration of human beings, environment and the state in charge of the so-called social order and functionality.
Putting humans at the center of any development planning means not only ensuring them all the amenities and conveniences of modern urban life, but also living with dignity and in harmony with a well-cared environment free from lethal floods, landslides, extreme heat and other natural disasters.
Unfortunately, many of our urban planners and developers follow the mindset and frameworks whose principal consideration is profit and super profits.
They often complicate land use and development planning according to the interests of big business and foreign investors who have little regard for humanity and environment, if at all they have any.
They put industrial zone side by side residential and agricultural zones but with poor waste management and anti-pollutant systems, thus still affecting the neighboring zones, worse contaminating agricultural production in many ways than one.
They erect commercial buildings and malls in population-packed areas, suffocating already dense urban communities and slums with noise, toxic odor, waste, floods and other pollutants.
They introduce structures and systems that consume so much electricity and water, draining our water and energy resources faster than the physical development itself, and often leaving human communities and vast agricultural countryside with little for production and sustainable growth.
They establish government offices in highly commercial areas, thus conveniently inviting commercialization of any government-business transactions, either by a government official or a government unit.
They cut trees, destroy rivers and scenery, and replace them with walls, buildings, neon lights and synthetic decoration which often demonstrate the cacophony and irony of the minds of traditional architects and ravenous developers.
In all, what we get is perverted and destructive progress causing more and worsening environmental and social devastation.
So here I am reminding everyone again that building human communities takes more than the engineers and development planners’ mastery of sand, stone, steel, cement, and the strengths and designs of structures.
We need the right appreciation of our human communities, their fears and anxieties, needs, hopes and aspirations – which I consider the solid foundations of any urban development.
It is also a must that we see the links between urban and rural, agriculture and industries, human practices and environmental condition, even the dynamic relation of the rich and poor, and proceed from there with fair restraint towards achieving a great harmony of our human goals and activities with the condition and demands of our environment.
We build communities not on the strength and designs of materials and structures, but on the strength of the unity in spirit and goals of human beings.
Johan van Lengen a practitioner of barefoot architecture always reminded his fellows that when we build a house, we are also building a home, and that a grouping of homes, each with its own harmony, will comprise a harmonious community, a productive and healthy settlement of human beings.
Bacolod City officials, or those who will take over the city after elections, and those in cities of similar state, must take a longer look at the way they allow the kind of development in the places entrusted to them.
They must begin assessing whether the development they pursue puts the needs, welfare and aspirations of the people at the center of everything, or not.

The Weekend Tarot Forecast tells me “all eyes are on you” as you exhibit evidence of mastery and leadership. Show others the way. You can maintain your independence and uniqueness and still be welcomed to a specific group and you will fit right in even if you have always been a bit of lone wolf. This group definitely wants you join their ranks. The group knows you have the skill and ability to teach other people your method.
Your task is to get rid of the dead weight and fine tune what it is you will be offering. Now is the time to be discerning about projects you take on. Not every project (or person) will be worth your time or effort. Make your selection wisely. Also, if you work with others, make sure you work with people who carry their own weight. You can’t do it all. You can’t be it all. Fortunately, luck is on your side. What projects light you up, and make you feel on fire with passion and inspiration? Which projects feel like a waste of your time, or make you feel like you want to burn it all down to the ground and start again? Limit your work load. Get rid of whatever isn’t working.
Now is not the time to take on any more projects. Reduce, edit, refine, but don’t take on any more. Work with what you’ve got. Not every idea is meant to be brought to fruition. Narrow your choices. What is your best work?

How and why does faith come through hearing a rhema word of Christ? Why must faith be from an eternal source to produce eternal results? What does the word mean, when it states that Christ is the author and finisher of faith? How does Christ in us become our source of faith? How do we live by the faith of the Son of God? Holy Spirit show us faith and move us from faith to faith that we may understand genuine eternal faith in Christ in us.
"Then the faith comes out of hearing, and the hearing through the word of Christ" (Rom. 10:17, author's rendition from the Amplified Greek text).
Faith is not something that Christians muster up. Faith comes out of a clear hearing of the Holy Spirit with a rhema word of Christ. The Greek is distinctly clear in this verse about the source of faith and how faith comes. Genuine faith comes through hearing a rhema word of Christ - the source. The earliest found papyrus manuscript (p46, about 200 A.D.) and Sinaticus (the earliest complete text of the Bible, IV Century A.D.), both clearly state that faith comes "through the word of Christ" (Gk: Christou, Rom. 10:17). The Greek word used in all texts for word is rhematos. The logos is the entire encompassing word of God, which is Christ. The rhema word is a particular specific spoken word taken out of the logos and quickened or revealed to us by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit came to teach and reveal Christ to us (John 14:26; 15:26; 16:13-15) and to make Him rhema to us. The oldest texts of Romans 10:17 are more specific with "the word of Christ," rather than the later texts with a general rendering of "the word of God." If we rightly divide the word of truth (II Tim. 2:15), then, most of the Old Testament scriptures do not provide the word of Christ. There are only 2 verses in the Old Testament discussing faith. In the New Testament, there are 249 verses on faith with over 70% focused to the church in the Pauline epistles.
"Moreover faith ever is the substance of things ever being hoped for, the evidence of things not ever being seen" (Hebr. 11:1, Amplified Greek text). You cannot see faith. It is unseen in the eternal realm and affects things seen in the temporal realm (II Cor. 4:18). By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the rhema spoken word of God (Hebr. 11:3). Again that is the eternal unseen realm affecting the temporal seen realm. Without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebr. 11:6). I do know that my Father is well-pleased with Christ, His Son (Matt. 3:17). He spoke out of heaven three times and declared that very thing the first two times (Matt. 3:17; Matt. 17:5; John 12:28). I believe any genuine faith that pleases our Father, is founded in and proceeds forth through a rhema word of Christ as the source (Rom. 10:17).
"Looking away unto Jesus the author and finisher of faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and now has already been seated in the right of authority of the throne of God" (Hebr. 12:2, Amplified Greek text). The Greek word used for looking away is aphorao. This is the one and only place this word in this derivation and sense is used in the entire word of God. It means to view with undivided attention by looking away from every other object and to earnestly fix one's gaze fully upon Jesus. Jesus is the author or leader and the finisher or completer of genuine faith.
The Greek text does not say Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebr. 12:12). Our is italicized and added to the original text. The Greek text states that, Jesus is the author and finisher of faith, in every respect. The source of faith is Christ. Faith is something in the eternal realm. We must really hear that faith is something unseen in the eternal realm of the Spirit. Since the birthing, Christ is living in us by the Spirit. He has been given all the right and authority of God (Hebr. 12:2; John 5:22). This is why faith that comes forth from Christ as the source is genuine faith that works. Psuedo-faith that Christians muster up on their own, with their own flesh as the faith source, is doomed to fail. In Christ Jesus, faith ever works through love (Gal. 5:6). Both love and faith are in the list of the fruit of the Spirit of Christ (Gal. 5:22). Christ in us is a self-for-others Spirit that flows forth in expression in a love-for-others Spirit. When Christ loves in and through us for others, then genuine faith is manifested and that faith works.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God" (Eph. 2:8). How many times have we quoted or heard that verse quoted? It says plainly, that we are saved by grace through faith and that not of yourselves. Paul even tells us that through the grace once then given to everyone of us, that God has dealt to each one the measure of faith (Rom. 12:3). Sooner or later, we must fully come to believe that every good and perfect gift really comes from God (Jas. 1:17). Our rebirthing was totally of Him (John 1:12,13). By His grace, we simply took His faith and believed in Him. When we simply believed, His faith became our faith. We overcome the world through continually believing Him (I Jn. 5:4,5). Christ is the true overcomer of the world. Christ now overcomes the world by living His life in and through us (John 16:33).
The gospel of Christ is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes (Rom. 1:16). In the gospel of Christ, we find the righteousness of God being revealed from faith to faith – the just shall live by faith (Rom. 1:17). We received the measure of faith at salvation (Rom. 12:3). We operate by letting Christ flow through us with the faith "fruit of the Spirit" of Christ (Gal. 5:22). We stand against Satan in spiritual warfare with the shield of faith of Christ who quenches all the fiery darts of the wicked one (Eph. 6:16). We operate in the Spiritual gift of faith (I Cor. 12:9), where the same Spirit, Lord, and Father God manifests Himself to fulfill this ministry in the Body of Christ (I Cor. 12:3-6). However, all members of the Trinity work united through Christ in us (Eph. 4:3-7; Col. 2:8-9).
Ultimately, the Holy Spirit has come to reveal that we live by the faith of the Son of God. Paul clearly states, "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me" (Gal. 2:20). We are to live by Christ and His eternal faith in us. Anything called faith apart from Christ is not genuine faith (John 15:5). Christ is called "Faithful and True" (Rev. 19:11). In the rebirthing, we received the Seed of Christ, the incorruptible word of God. Everything, including faith is in that eternal seed which is Christ.

For the introductory statistic student confidence intervals can seem a daunting concept to grasp. Quite simply put it is an interval that we have a certain measure of confidence that the population parameter falls into. The 95% confidence is the most common value chosen in my academic circle. Nevertheless, many others may be viable as well as long as the decision is based on theory. It is quite easy to make the mistake of assuming that a larger sample size will reduce your likelihood of making a type 1 error (rejecting the null when you shouldn’t have). To demonstrate this I put together a shiny app that can be found here or by clicking on the image below. The code for this app is publicly available on github here. As you change the sample size the intervals will get smaller but the number of red line (type 1 errors) will appear roughly the same amount of time. Special thanks to Larry Cook for introducing me to this neat plot and method for demonstrating confidence intervals.

What is the world's greatest challenge in the coming decade?
Question: What is the world's greatest challenge in the coming decade?
John Harbison: Yeah. I think the biggest challenge is going to be trying to … well, the redistribution of resource. There’ve been encouraging sign, which is that some of the richest people have decided that the flint beyond the herd of scale might be able to change some of the most horrible situations, particularly African and medical situations and so forth. That’s encouraging. I think that probably a much more radical idea of redistribution of resources is necessary. And locally right now on a graph we are going the other direction. We are certainly quite content with people at the upper scale getting much richer, and people on the bottom disappearing. There, of course, one could argue that the lack of a primary truly genuine, spiritual, religious impulse may be one of the reasons it’s so hard to settle the idea of distribution of resources.
Harbison sees some hopeful signs.

More than half of the Army’s brigade combat teams have achieved top levels of preparedness to fight a major ground war, the service’s top general said Tuesday, noting only three brigades were considered fully prepared to fight in 2015.
Army Gen. Mark Milley, the service’s chief of staff, characterized that common measure of the Army’s combat readiness as a “significant improvement.” Nonetheless, he told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee that the service remained a few years away from achieving the combat readiness goals that he believes would be necessary to fight a major war with a near-peer competitor.
The general and Army Secretary Mark Esper were before the committee Tuesday to defend the Army’s $182.3 billion fiscal year 2020 budget request.
Milley assessed about 28 of the Army’s brigades had achieved those readiness goals. In March 2018, he testified just “more than five” brigades were prepared to fight at such a level.
In his testimony Tuesday, Milley did not provide a breakdown of how many of the 28 fully prepared brigades were active duty versus reserves. The active Army includes 31 brigade combat teams, while the remaining 27 are National Guard or Reserve units.
Neither Milley nor Esper provided a specific reason why they believed the service was able to improve the readiness of its brigade combat teams, but they thanked senators for the increased funding that the service has received in recent years.
Officials have credited the Army’s creation of Security Force Assistance Brigades for helping improve readiness, because those new units are focused specifically on training-and-advising operations, leaving regular brigades to prepare for large-scale combat operations. The Army also has increased the amount of time its combat units spend training in recent years.
Milley, who is expected to become the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff later this year, warned the service needed sustained high-level funding in 2020 and future years to reach its readiness goals by 2022.
“We recognize in the Army … we are a very, very expensive endeavor, but there is one thing that is a lot more expensive than what we do on a day-to-day basis, and that’s having a war,” Milley said.
He told senators that funding the Army and the other military services at the levels they have requested — the Pentagon is seeking $718.3 billion for fiscal year 2020 — would deter potential adversaries from challenging the U.S. military.

More than 1 in 20 Australians say they have been physically attacked because of their race. Around one in five Australians say they have experienced race-hate talk, such as verbal abuse, racial slurs or name-calling. While cultural diversity is central to our national identity, the reality is that too many Australians experience racism, prejudice and discrimination on a regular basis. Racism locks people out of social and economic opportunities. It costs workplaces and our economy and it works against the building of fair, inclusive communities.
The Castan Centre for Human Rights Law has joined forces with the Australian Human Rights Commission and some of Australia's leading businesses, sporting bodies and NGOs to support the "Racism. It stops with me" campaign.
In support of the campaign, the Castan Centre has published a special International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination blog post on why appeals to racism do not advance Australia.
Free speech and the "right to be a bigot"
Why the Human Rights Commissioner is wrong about "n______"
To keep up to date with the Centre's latest opinion piesces on racism, head to www.castancentre.com and select the "racism" category from the drop down box on the right hand side of the page.
The Australian Human Rights Commission, Diversity Council of Australia and VicHealth are searching for Australian organisations that recognise the benefits of a culturally diverse workplace and are willing to showcase their efforts nationally.
They are developing an online audit tool in 2014 that will help Australian organisations reap the benefits of a culturally diverse workplace through their planning, leadership, communication, evaluation and human resources practices (in recruitment, retention and promotion). The audit will feature examples of initiatives that demonstrate good practice in the inclusion of people from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and/or culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

This is the basic factor that the majority of people don't get the end results they long for, even while being aware of the Law of Attraction.
What if you made up your mind right now that you will get hold of the one, most obtainable opportunity you'll ever get to turn your life into something more than your wildest dreams? Or are you going to second guess, sleep on it, and procrastinate? Are you going to pass on the offer that you were subconsciously led to, so you could achieve your desire to change your life for the better?
How would it transform your life if you had the knowledge to know and easily start using the 5 Other Main Universal Laws that make it easy for you to magnify the effects of the Law of Attraction to fantastic extents, so you can truly exploit the Law of Attraction to its maximum extent achievable.
Utilizing all 6 Main Laws of the Universe makes it possible for you to work the whole system of Universal Laws, including all smaller and minor 'sub-laws' that are automatically covered by these basic Universal Laws.
You see, no matter if you're consciously aware of it or not, this so-called 'Law of Attraction' that you hear so much about at this time, similar to the other universal principles that I'll be delivering you very soon, are already in effect in your life, every tick of the clock.
You may have studied all the works on the subject and examined movies like "The Secret" and many others, you probably still don't know the fine complexness of these universal mechanisms, much less how you can steer them. A lot more significant: Because you lack full understanding, and because you might be overwhelmed by the bombardment of half-truths and myths that prevail out there (like most people are), the way you subconsciously interact with 'The Universe' can actually bring you the very things you don't wish into your life, completely inadvertently! That's correct, You could essentially be inviting the overwhelm, exhaustion, stagnation, difficulties and general 'dis-ease' you experience into your personal life experience, without having any idea you're doing it.
Once you catch on and understand the POWER of knowing the 'Universal Principles of Life' in the way you are about to figure out them, you can and will magnetize all the love, cash, success, health and happiness you've been longing for instantly into your life.
Permit me to Shine A Beacon Of Light Over The Mysteries Of Positive Attraction and The 'Universal Principles Of Manifestation' For You!
What you may not recognize is how you truly perceive the world around you. You may assume you're picking up noises, touching objects, and observing colors, but that's not quite true.
Could you do me a favor? Could you visualize, for a moment, the incredible, life-altering changes you would make in your life if you could use of the other 95% of Universal Energy. What if you knew and had the POWER to leverage that understanding to your advantage. Look, if you're studying these words now, it's because there's a 'revolution' happening, and you have come across this page because you are meant to be a part of it!
If you're totally prepared to understand the truths about 'attraction', 'manifesting' and the deliberate creation of your life and destiny, and you wish to have that information to be supplied to you on a silver platter through a concise, easy-to-follow, simple-to understand medium, then congratulations: You Just Found It!
We can supply you the information you are seeking. Even better, we provide you with step-by-step guidebooks for implementing what you learn right now, to bring abundance, happiness, peace and prosperity into your life and the lives of those around you.
When we came across what was really just a bunch of rubbish drifting around on the subject of the so-called 'Law of Attraction' and the 'Universal Principles of Life', I felt I had to speak up. I noticed many "leaders" sharing their view on what this 'Law of Attraction' was, but also found very little practical guidelines on how to effectively use that information to your benefit. Ironic, really, because most people interested in this topic are interested in HOW they can use the information to increase their lives, and ultimately, the world around them!
I set out to provide specifically that by instigating sort of a 'revolution', providing concise, easy-to-follow information that will truly teach you all you need to know to apply your under-standing of these 'universal life principles' to leverage your powers of manifestation, and empower you to make some genuinely exceptional changes in your life.
Not everyone who has seen "The Secret" knows how to use The Laws of Attraction the proper way. They can not totally get the law's principles serving them. They often get frustrated and angry when they find they are unable to live the life their dreams despite what the law promises them. Others who draw on this law are able to start manifesting whatever they aspire in their lives without much effort.
The issue is that there is a little something else concerning the law of attraction that is not completely understood by the general public.
There are many beliefs that most people unconsciously filter out and choose not to believe in. This is where Revolutioniz connects with and helps the people who make the decision get the program and use it.
Before constructing this how to use The Law Of Attraction offering, the designers participated on a variety of self help and Law of Attraction forums and other social networks. They already understood what the greatest problems and obstacles are that people experience in utilizing what many call 'The Secret' or the 'Law of Attraction'. The authors themselves like to call this money, success and abundance attraction process "The Universal Principles of Life".
With this they managed to bring into existence what became perhaps the clearest, most simple, and most cutting-edge information on how to use The Law Of Attraction.
This how to use The Law Of Attraction product has a positive, unique style. You will find that it merges ancient mysticism and modern science.The scientific references surpass the regular talk about quantum physics that is come across in various places currently. While several quantum principles are explained, the publishers give clear references to investigations beyond the regular quantum discussions to create a mind-boggling resource that really communicates to the followers good sense.
It is seldom that you see writers in the positive attraction, Law Of Attraction and The Secret subject field actually provide clear scientific references that verify their work.
If you haven't encountered the Revolutioniz components and observed this on your own, they leave no stone unturned, which is pretty different in the how to use The Law Of Attraction field of study. A lot of various other information are generally either incomplete, unclear, or stick in 'enigmas' and hard-to-understand puzzles that few people can really make any reasonable sense of.
Time and again a lot of people are left with just fragments of the story. In great contrast to these other works, Revolutioniz provides the precise information on how to use The Law Of Attraction which many wish for so desperately. You will be informed what to do to make this work for you.
Positive attraction and how to use The Law Of Attraction, 'Revolutioniz', is by far the clearest and most straight forward guide when it comes to being able to understand, and more importantly, effectively apply in their lives what people like to call the Universal Laws!

Along the way of, what I call my life, I made a decision not to hide anymore and to honor the parts of me that were different… unique, even if I couldn’t see that modeled in anyone else out there in the world. And in doing so, I created a space to accept the wisdom of my near death experience at the age of 6.
I have learned with all my Heart that there is a new Feminine Energy arising in all of us… a new reality being born through each and everyone of us. Acknowledging our individual Truths while we acknowledge all others viewpoints in our Unified Heart space is the key to opening up to this new creation on our planet.
As I continue to LISTEN to the TRUEST Expression of Consciousness within me… I feel a distant part of me, witnessing my decisions moment to moment, gauging how safe it feels to express or not express my Truth in any given situation. And yet I am also gently reminded of the responsibility we each have to break through the constrictions and express ourselves and our voice, as well as to the creation of something new in our world.
I want to speak my Truth… and support a platform where women break all the barriers of fear that have quelled the full expression of beauty, struggle, joy, grief, radiance, wildness, rawness, unpredictability and mystery of our Being.
Below is a video I created a few months ago… which has led me to the work I do, born from the wisdom of my Near Death Experience at age 6.
I hope it brings you inspiration to believe in yourself and awaken to the Feminine evolution in your soul!

India’s higher education system is the world’s third largest in terms of students, next to China and the United States. According to a research conducted by a private university in Lucknow, in future, India will be one of the largest education hubs. India’s Higher Education sector has witnessed a tremendous increase in the number of Universities/University level Institutions & Colleges since independence.
The ‘Right to Education Act’ which stipulates compulsory and free education to all children within the age groups of 6-14 years, has brought about a revolution in the education system of the country with statistics revealing a staggering enrolment in schools over the last four years. The involvement of private sector in higher education has seen drastic changes in the field. Today, most of the higher education institutions in India are promoted by the private sector.
This made establishment of institutions quicker making India home to the largest number of Higher Education institutions in the world, with student enrolments at the second highest. However, despite these numbers, internationally many of these institutions are not being able to make up to the best of the world ranking.
Reason being firstly, the enrolment is quite low as compared to the developed as well as, other developing countries.
With the increase of enrolments at school level, the supply of higher education institutes is insufficient to meet the growing demand in the country. Secondly, quality is a multi-dimensional, multilevel, and a dynamic concept.
Ensuring quality in higher education is amongst the foremost challenges being faced in India today. Another challenge is poor infrastructure. Particularly the institutes run by the public sector suffer from poor physical facilities and infrastructure.
Further, most of the educational Institutions are owned by the political leaders, who are playing key role in governing bodies of the Universities. Further, faculty shortages and the inability of the state educational system to attract and retain well qualified teachers have been posing challenges to quality education for many years.
In addition, for most students, the idea of travelling to India would have been the simple idea of immersing oneself in a different culture—weather, food, sport, travel.
Such a cultural immersion is then given further strength by teaching courses, for example through the mode of open electives, on the distinct cultural richness of each country and state.
So there must be courses on history, or environmental policy, or religious philosophy. For a foreign student then, there is the double benefit of life experience and cultural exposure—this leads to an even higher academic performance, and often it is such an experience of education in India that has motivated them to sometimes even become scholars of India.
Such people are then motivated to both bring back many of their friends to India, as well as encourage their university to bring Indian students on exchange programs. If those who have had a welcoming and satisfying experience in India do become scholars or entrepreneurs, many of their research interests remain centred on India, and they may thus bring in much needed expertise and research funds to India–this would be invaluable.
For higher level research, one will have to do more than provide such hospitality.
Research is a large and expensive topic with many sides to it— but ultimately, the best international researchers will work with Indian universities only if the latter have excellent facilities—the latest journals, labs, international networks, a common code of publication and research ethics and so on. Many scientists are most interested in working with applications. Hence there needs to be a strong encouragement in India of incubation centres, where basic science can get translated into products and services that have strong and immediate value—either financial or societal. The prospect of working in intellectually strong, dynamic, diverse teams—full of motivated scientists, entrepreneurs, postdoctoral fellows etc.—is what may well bring talented scientists to India.
Moreover, universities in India go after degrees over excellence and the same is being upon the students as well. In contrast, the western universities focus upon one subject and work towards specialisation. Not only that, but they have easily accessible high quality information that is freely available and have trained, articulate higher education marketers. Which is why, many of the students are seen choosing western universities over Indian universities.
Despite these challenges, higher education system of India is growing very fast and have lot of opportunities to overcome these challenges and have the capability to make its identity at international level. With the help of new-age learning tools, it is easy for country like India to overcome these problems and bring a paradigm shift in the country’s higher education sector.
With such a vibrant country with huge population properly educated, the possibilities are endless. In fact, India possess rich knowledge on broad perspectives which is underutilised and rather provided to other countries in the form of highly skilled people who in fact are doing well.
Above all, it needs greater transparency and accountability. For the same, the role of universities and colleges in the new millennium, and emerging scientific research on how people learn is of utmost important. Student exchange programs which provide a platform to develop skills and understand world better are just beginning to trend in India. If knowledge is imparted using advanced digital teaching and learning tools, and society is made aware of where we are currently lagging behind, our country can easily emerge as one of the most developed nations in the world.

The Dark Tower is a 2017 fantasy-science fiction film based on the Stephen King Dark Tower novels. The film is directed and co-written by Nikolaj Arcel, known more as a screenwriter than a director. The movie stars Matthew McConaughey (Interstellar and The Wolf of Wall Street), and Idris Elba (Star Trek Beyond, Pacific Rim, and Prometheus).
Tom Taylor, appearing in his first movie, plays Jake Chambers an eleven-year-old who sees visions of another world. These visions include an evil Man in Black seeking to destroy a dark tower and a stoic gunslinger fighting against him. Everyone dismisses these visions as bad dreams caused by the death of Jake’s father a year earlier.
I have several friends who’ve read the eight-book Dark Tower saga and enjoyed them, and others have described the novels as Stephen King’s magnum opus. I haven’t read the books so, this review is based largely on the movie.
If you see this film as I did, with little or no knowledge of the novels, you will probably leave thinking it provided ninety-five minutes of escapist entertainment. However, with Stephen King writing the novels and the acting depth of Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba, I wanted more. Sony thought this movie would be the start of a franchise of films based on the novels. I’m sure they were reaching for an Oscar level production, but what I watched was only a decent fantasy-science fiction film.
Some scenes seemed like early drafts. They hinted at a bigger, grander story, that hadn’t yet been laid down in the script. But from what I’ve heard of the novels, that grander story is there for the taking. Danish director and co-writer Nikoliaj Arcel just didn’t take the depth and breadth that Stephen King had provided. Since watching the movie I’ve heard that a number of scenes had to be rewritten and reshot, some multiple times. Had this sucked some of the life out of King’s story?
I left the theater thinking I had seen a decent movie that, with the right director and script, could have been great. I’m going to recommend you Wait and Rent The Dark Tower.
The Space Between Us is a 2017 American science fiction film directed by Peter Chelsom, produced by Richard Lewis and based on a story by screenwriter Allan Loeb, and Stewart Schill. The film stars Asa Butterfield, as Gardner Elliot, a teenage boy born on Mars, and Britt Robertson, as Tulsa, an Earth girl living in foster care. They meet and talk online. Apparently, in the future, there is no delay in communication between Earth and Mars. Gardner falls in love and, when finally given a chance to return to Earth, he runs away to find her.
Following a fairly standard formula of boy longs for a girl that is out of his reach, boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, but forces beyond their control might tear them apart forever, the movie targets teens and young adults with a mixture of near-future science fiction and romance.
Except for a bit of coarse language, and a love scene that implies more than it reveals, this could have been a PG movie, but it is rated PG-13. Click here for a detailed examination of the film's rating.
If you go into this film expecting a near future teen to young adult romance with a space twist then it can be an enjoyable popcorn movie. However, since the film has nothing new and is aimed at a young audience (that I don’t think is reading this blog) I’m recommending you Wait and Rent The Space Between Us.
Passengers is a PG-13 hard science fiction movie directed by Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game), and starring Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence.
Five thousand passengers and crew are asleep in hibernation pods aboard the starship Avalon on a 120 year voyage to planet Homestead II. However, just thirty years into the trip, a malfunction awakens passenger Jim Preston (Chris Pratt). Later Aurora Lane (Jennifer Lawrence) awakens. Unable to return to hibernation, the two face living the rest of their lives together on the ship as it travels in deep space. However, the problem that awakened Preston remains and is a growing danger to the ship. They will need to risk their lives or everyone may die.
In addition to Pratt and Lawrence both Michael Sheen and Laurence Fishburne, have roles in Passengers, but the film still has one of the smallest casts I’ve ever seen for a big budget production. That being said, I think the bartender, played by Sheen, steals some of the show.
As often happens, during the second act the plot takes a twist. This one involves Preston in an act of desperation. How you feel about that twist will determine how you view the remainder of the movie.
Passengers offers little that is new to the science fiction genre, but the plot is good, it’s well acted and the CGI is first rate. Despite my issue with Preston, I found myself dwelling on the many issues raised by the movie for several days. Even now, when I think about the last scene of the film, it evokes emotion. If you’re a science fiction fan I think you’ll enjoy the movie.
Arrival, released in November of 2016, is a science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve and stars Amy Adams (Trouble with the Curve and Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day), Jeremy Renner (Captain America: Civil War and Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation), and Forest Whitaker (Battlefield Earth and The Last King of Scotland). The screenplay was written by Eric Heissere and is based on the Nebula Award-winning short story by Ted Chiang. The movie is rated PG-13. Click here for a detailed examination of the film’s rating.
Twelve alien spacecraft arrive over different parts of the globe. World governments make first contact but are unable to communicate. Like all the nations of the planet the United States government wants to know one thing, what do the aliens want? In desperation, the military reaches out to linguist Louise Banks, played by Amy Adams.
Colonel Weber, played by Forest Whitaker, takes Banks to a growing military camp in Montana near one of the alien ships. Working with another scientist named Ian, played by Jeremy Renner, Banks struggles to understand the alien's language of clicks and chirps. As tensions around the world increase, she begins to decipher not their spoken language, but their written one.
Arrival is a movie that requires you to think and be engaged with it. It is both a story of sadness in the life of Louise Banks and how the world might change starting on that first day of contact with an alien race. What should we do? How would we greet them and how would we communicate with them?
Part of this movie is told in flashback, or is it. Time, and our perception of it, is at the heart of this film. A portion of this movie can only be understood if seen in both the present and future. As I said, Arrival is a story that requires you to think.
No cities are destroyed during this movie and the military plays a largely supporting role. However, in one scene, a small group of American soldiers act by themselves to harm the aliens and supposedly protect the world. As I sat in the theater watching this unfold I kept thinking that the soldiers would be better trained and led. The subplot seemed forced, for added tension, and didn’t seem plausible to me. Thankfully, this is a very small part of the movie.
Arrival is science fiction in the best tradition of the genre. If you like movies that cause you to ponder elements for days afterward then you will like this film. Recommendation: Buy a ticket and see it in the theater.
The film Hacksaw Ridge, directed by Mel Gibson, is based on the true story of Desmond Doss, a Seventh-day Adventist from the hill country of Virginia. The United States entered World War II when Doss was in his early twenties. The young man found work in a shipyard and, despite being offered a deferment due to his work; he enlisted on April 1, 1942.
However, because of his religious beliefs, Doss was a pacifist and refused to use or even carry a weapon in combat. You can imagine the considerable abuse he suffered from other soldiers due to his pacifist position. Despite the abuse, he does finally become an Army medic. These events are all well portrayed in the first part of the film.
While some of the abuse Doss endures early in the film might be difficult to watch, much of the later portion shows war at its worst. Think of other Mel Gibson movies such as Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ or Apocalypto, but with all the brutality concentrated into one nearly unbroken sequence.
Doss fought in the Battle of Guam and Leyte, but this movie focuses on the Battle of Okinawa and the fight for the Maeda Escarpment where Doss saved the lives of 75 wounded infantrymen. This fight was brutal and is accurately portrayed in the movie.
Desmond Doss earned the Medal of Honor, and numerous other awards, including the Bronze Star Medal with one Oak Leaf Cluster and "V" Device, and the Purple Heart with two Oak Leaf Clusters.
Those who fought in World War II are often called the greatest generation. What those men and women sacrificed for freedom is difficult to comprehend. I found myself wondering if I could have maintained my Christian principles, or even faith, under the onslaught of such epic evil and brutality. Hopefully, I will never have to face that question, but Desmond Doss did and held tight to his faith. I came away from the movie respecting Doss for both his courage and faith.
I recommend that you buy the ticket and see Hacksaw Ridge, but be forewarned this movie is rated ‘R’ for intense prolonged realistically graphic sequences of war violence. Click here for a detailed examination of the film's rating.

The veteran leader of Tunisia’s ruling Islamist party told AFP that the authorites would crack down on hardline Salafists after deadly violence around the US embassy, saying they pose a threat to the country’s freedoms and security.
Ghannouchi denied that the Ennahda-led coalition government had been lax in its failure so far to arrest Salafist leader Seif Allah Ibn Hussein, suspected of organising the violent protest on Friday of last week at the US embassy and adjacent American school in Tunis.
Now slain Al-Qaeda leader Osama “bin Laden remained at liberty for years without the world’s intelligence agencies capturing him, so it’s not surpising that someone can go into hiding,” he said.
As fears mounted of fresh violence after the mainly weekly Muslim prayers this Friday, Ghannouchi said that from now on the security forces would deal firmly with any breaches of public order.

The way the Bruachites saw it, poaching wasn’t a crime though you did have to keep an eye out for the local police. And it wasn’t just fishermen like Erchy and Hector who were experts – even a visiting vicar had been tempted by the fat salmon that filled the island’s streams and pools.
Like Lillian Beckwith’s other books about life in the Hebrides, Lightly Poached is packed with the enchanting and hilarious adventures of her island friends.

The cabin air filter is found inside the cabin and cleans all the air that runs through the system, whether fresh or recirculated. Insufficient air flow through your vents can be due to a plugged cabin filter if this happens or if you get a bad odor that is coming through your vents you should have your cabin filter replaced. It is recommended that you change your cabin filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles depending on your driving conditions.

Methodologies for program construction have matured over the last 25 years. Debugging technology has not kept pace with programming technology in that we essentially debug using the same paradigms of 25 years ago. The advent of low-cost multimedia output makes it possible to provide more than one human sensory channel with input to aid the debugging process. Author Ron Reeves explains why this channel is important, why this would be a significant advance in debugging, why it is well-suited for object-based systems, and suggests that future tooling begin to exploit the full range of the human sensory input system.
The object methodology is one of the first major shifts in software development in the last 25 years. The creation of objects, where an object represents a functionally intelligent grouping of state and operations whose details can be concealed, gives the software developer a higher metalevel upon which to base a solution creation. Object methodology, as currently practiced, is the culmination of the information-hiding methodology proposed by Parnas and refined through decades of practical use.
In the last couple of decades, the paradigm of Object Methodology has hit the mainstream computing market; it is no longer an arcane art practiced by academics or megaline-system developers, but instead is readily available to even all programmers. Object implementations such as the Microsoft .NET Framework has made the technology pervasive.
The availability of object methodology has allowed us to design and construct software systems far more complex than we could have imagined even a decade ago. One of the problems that have arisen, however, is the very abstraction we use to create these complex systems can not only mask their complexity during development, but can mask their complexity during debugging and post-deployment maintenance. The original programmers can often translate their mental models of objects into code, but the maintainers–in fact, even the programmers themselves mere months later–must "reverse engineer" these structures back into a mental model.
Debugging, in contrast to the sophistication of our construction techniques, has remained largely unchanged over the same period of time. We have very few debugging tools that are object-modeled, at least in the mainstream computing world. Instead, we still set breakpoints, use debug-print statements, and display the contents of memory locations in an attempt to figure out what has gone wrong.
It is important here that we want to contrast debuggers with browsers. A browser allows us to inspect code, study module relationships, display call graphs, and generally inspect the static representation of a program. There have been some quite nice browsing environments developed, both independent of, and as integrated components of, compilation systems. However, by our definition, a debugger is a tool that allows us to inspect, in some way, the dynamic behavior of a program as it is executing.
Debugging is often an exercise in "reverse engineering." We must deduce, from the current program state and current execution point, how the current state and execution point were reached, and why, and what can be done to correct them if the state or execution point (or both) are incorrect.
Reverse engineering is also known as design recovery. However, the people practicing "design recovery" are often working at a much higher structural level than is useful for debugging. Or, to hearken back to an issue of the 1970s, design recovery is working at the "design-in-the-large" level and debugging is working at the "design-in-the-small" level.
The problem in both cases, however, is quite similar: reconstruct a model of the program that can be understood by the reader. In many cases we find the design-recovery-in-the-large uses visual notation — for example, E-R diagrams, Dean-Cordy diagrams [DC95], UML, and so on. For decades (and, in some more regressive contexts, even today) flowcharts are used to describe code at the statement level. These representations have much in common in terms of human perception; they involve a sensory channel capable of handling vast amounts of information: the visual system.
The cost of computers, and the cost of specialized peripherals, for decades limited us in how we could interact with the computer. We debugged by lights-and-switches, core dumps, octal or hexadecimal displays of individual words or bytes, and so on. The limited bandwidth with which we could interact with the computer was a significant barrier in the understanding of the software systems we were trying to debug.
Today, the balance has changed. High-resolution full-color bitmap displays mean that we can often animate our algorithms in a graphical fashion. The cost of interaction is negligible compared to the cost of development overall. Computers are, for practical purposes, nearly free compared to the people who use them. Thus we can get graphical displays of our data structures, chase down complex pointer chains with a series of mouse clicks, see our data in an almost-readable form, and even watch algorithms in action.
But what’s missing from this picture? It turns out that our new tools still only show us pieces of the algorithm, often in terms of the computer’s representation, not our mental model. And while we are utilizing the visual channel to a higher degree, we have virtually neglected another significant human input channel, the auditory system. Thus, we want to approach the problem of debugging from two viewpoints: a better presentation of visual information, and use of the human auditory channel as a means of enhancing our ability to both build our cognitive model and interpret the program’s behavior in terms of that cognitive model.

A miracle is a violation of the laws of nature; and as a firm and unalterable experience has established these laws, the proof against a miracle, from the very nature of the fact, is as entire as any argument from experience can possibly be imagined. Why is it more than probable, that all men must die; that lead cannot, of itself, remain suspended in the air; that fire consumes wood, and is extinguished by water; unless it be, that these events are found agreeable to the laws of nature, and there is required a violation of these laws, or in other words, a miracle to prevent them? Nothing is esteemed a miracle, if it ever happen in the common course of nature. It is no miracle that a man, seemingly in good health, should die on a sudden: because such a kind of death, though more unusual than any other, has yet been frequently observed to happen. But it is a miracle, that a dead man should come to life; because that has never been observed in any age or country. There must, therefore, be a uniform experience against every miraculous event, otherwise the event would not merit that appellation. And as a uniform experience amounts to a proof, there is here a direct and full proof, from the nature of the fact, against the existence of any miracle; nor can such a proof be destroyed, or the miracle rendered credible, but by an opposite proof, which is superior. The plain consequence is (and it is a general maxim worthy of our attention), ‘that no testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous, than the fact, which it endeavors to establish; and even in that case there is a mutual destruction of arguments, and the superior only gives us an assurance suitable to that degree of force, which remains, after deducting the inferior.
There is a better definition of miracle, which is simply something extraordinary and marvelous that is not explicable by natural or scientific explanations. Once we use that better definition, it's a great blow to Hume's reasoning. Another problem with Hume's reasoning is the naivete involved in its consideration of laws of nature.
Nature always behaves in fixed or predictable ways, without throwing us much in the way of surprises.
Humans can figure out from their experience what these fixed tendencies are.
Once humans have figured out these tendencies, they are then entitled to exclude any report of experiences that differ from these tendencies that have been observed in the past.
There are all kinds of reasons why such assumptions are invalid. For one thing, very often nature often throws us surprises, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, meteors, and many types of anomalous phenomena. Secondly, humans are generally not smart enough or knowledgeable enough or experienced enough to be declaring that some particular tendency is an inviolable law of nature, based on our small experience which occurred in only the tiniest “zillionth” sliver of the universe's history, and occurred while living on only a “zillionth” iota of the universe's territory. Third, from the mere fact that we always have seen X happening, we are not entitled to conclude that X must always happen (unless we have solid knowledge of reasons why X must always happen). And from the fact that we have never previously seen X, we are not entitled to conclude that we cannot now start observing X.
For example, if you were an American colonist of Hume's time (around 1770), you might have deduced that it was a law of nature that big earthquakes don't occur anywhere near the American colonies, based on the “firm and unalterable experience” that no such earthquakes had been observed. But such a law would have been invalid, and very large earthquakes did occur in Missouri in 1811 (the New Madrid earthquakes). Similarly if you were a Roman living in Pompeii in 78 AD, you might have assumed it was a law of nature that “mountain tops never explode,” but you would have been soon surprised when just such a thing happened in the eruption that buried Pompeii.
No, a uniform experience does not amount to a proof. Even if humans have always experienced X, this does not prove that something different from X may some day occur. And even if humans have never experienced X, it is no proof that they will not in the future experience X.
What Hume seems to suggest is a kind of reasoning which we might visualize by imagining a scale. On the left side is human experience suggesting that X does not happen. On the right side is some human experience suggesting that X did happen. Unless the right side outweighs the left side, according to Hume, we should not believe that X happens. But this makes no sense. If people in 100 cities are not blown up by asteroids, and they all conclude that “asteroids don't blow up cities,” we do not need 101 cities to be blown up by asteroids to show that an asteroid can blow up a city. A case of a single city being blown up by an asteroid is sufficient to show such a thing. Before September 11, 2001, it was generally believed that fires can't cause skyscrapers to fall, based on 1000 skyscraper fires. But we didn't need 1001 skyscrapers falling during fires to show that such a thing can happen; we only needed one of them like the two that fell on September 11, 2001.
What's ironic is that in many other places in his writings, Hume was very skeptical about human knowledge and human abilities. He often tended to think of human beings as error-prone stumblers and bumblers, and he famously claimed that reason is the slave of the passions. But when it came to considering man's ability to proclaim all-encompassing laws of nature from man's limited experience, Hume “checked at the door” his usual skepticism, and spoke in a very naive way as if such laws could be proclaimed with complete confidence. It's the same deal for many modern skeptics: they bring out unbounded skepticism for people reporting the anomalous, but zero skepticism towards those who are dogmatically declaring that such things can't happen.
This is often used as some justification for denying evidence of the paranormal. But the problem is that claims of the paranormal usually don't rest on a single person's testimony. The better claims of the paranormal are supported either by the testimony of many witnesses, or large amounts of photographic evidence or laboratory evidence.
A photo I took yesterday, described here.
In some cases there are two of these three things to support the claim. For example, evidence for ESP includes testimony by countless observers and also lots of good laboratory evidence; and evidence for UFO's includes a wealth of witness testimony and photographic testimony. It's therefore fallacious to speak as it's all a question of whether we should believe one person's word.
Ironically, the very thing that Hume used as an example of testimony that can't possibly be true has actually been proven true. See here for quite a few cases of people who revived from death quite a while after they had been declared dead, with no vital signs. This is another example of why it's wrong to assume that some thing can't happen merely because it wasn't previously observed.
I read Bill Nye's book Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation to give a well-known author a chance to change my opinion that there is no compelling evidence for the claim that the blind process of natural selection can explain the astounding wonders of biological complexity (for the kind of reasons I discuss here). Looking at the book's index, I found that only 8 pages in the 298-page book discuss natural selection. I didn't find this surprising, because while there is lots of evidence that evolution (or a succession of life forms mimicking evolution) has occurred, the evidence that natural selection is the main explanation for this progression is actually very weak. Natural selection is a real biological effect, which can explain a few things, such as a change in a population of organisms in which a trait held by the minority becomes a trait held by the majority. But natural selection is not very good at explaining the origin of new forms of biological complexity, contrary to what is often claimed.
Looking at the index's first reference to natural selection, I found immediately a very misleading statement by Nye. He states, “Evolution is also not random; it's the opposite of random” (a misstatement he repeats later). No, orthodox Darwinian evolution is, in fact, quite random. When I do a Google search for “definition of random,” the first definition that comes up is: “made, done, happening, or chosen without method or conscious decision.” The synonyms that are listed include “unplanned” and “undirected.” Evolution as described by Darwinian orthodoxy is therefore quite random, as very many evolution enthusiasts have themselves told us over the years.
The first four pages in which Nye discusses natural selection do not give anything like a coherent argument that natural selection can explain biological complexity. In fact, Nye seems to repeatedly veer into attempts to explain natural selection by discussing marketplace and corporate behavior. This is misguided, because corporate and market behavior (such as the “survival of the fittest” of well-designed products) are examples of what is known as artificial selection , which involves conscious decision making and is entirely different from unconscious natural selection. You can in no way validate the power of natural selection by giving examples of artificial selection.
The main problem with believing that natural selection is the main explanation for biological complexity is that the biological world has a thousand marvels of immense coordination, in which components are arranged in extremely coordinated and complex groups of components; but neither natural selection nor random mutations offer any mechanism for coordination. Random mutations can explain why different small components might occasionally arise, but orthodox Darwinism offers no mechanism by which these components would arrange themselves into highly coordinated and complex groups of components. For the orthodox Darwinists there are countless problems of this type: how did nature “climb the staircase” to reach some top level of complex coordination, in such a way so that each step added to the reproductive value or survival value of an organism, so that each step was useful? Under Darwinian assumptions, each step must be useful, or we can't explain it.
One such “climbing the staircase” problem involves the evolution of wings. To the naive mind, it does not appear that a small part of a wing would have any use. Nye tackles this problem, but fails to explain it away. For one thing, his approach involves a kind of cheat. His chapter on the topic is entitled “What Good Is Half a Wing?” Trying to explain just that is cheating, because it is starting halfway up the stairway, when you should be starting at the bottom of the stairway. The question that should be asked is not “what good is half a wing” but “what good is an eighth of a wing” or “what good is a wing stump.” To explain this problem under orthodox Darwinian assumptions, one would need to offer a scenario by which a species might progress through this series: (1) no wing; (2) an eighth of a wing; (3) two eighths of wing; (4) three eighths of a wing; (5) four eighths of a wing; and so forth. One would need to explain how each of these progressions involved an increase in either reproductive value or survival value.
Nye is unable to explain such a thing. He offers two ideas to try to help explain the evolution of wings. The first is that organisms began to develop wings to keep them warm. This doesn't work, because that can't explain the first two steps in the stairway; it can't explain why a species would start to evolve a wing stump or just an eighth of a wing. A wing stump or an eighth of a wing is worthless for keeping you warm. If you doubt this, I suggest the following experiment. Break a chopstick in half, and paste a few feathers on it. Then tape that feathered half chopstick on your shoulders, and go out on a cold night. You will not feel any warmer.
The second idea Nye offers to try to explain the evolution of wings is to suggest that partial wings were useful for gliding. This does not work, for two reasons. A lesser reason is that gliding is only useful for certain types of animals (such as tree-dwellers); but it is believed that birds evolved from reptiles that did not live in trees. The larger reason is that to get even a capability for gliding, a wing must be quite well developed, much more than just a wing stump. So a gliding hypothesis cannot explain why an organism would evolve the first eighth of a wing or a wing stump.
For the orthodox Darwinian, there are countless problems like this wing stump problem – problems of explaining how blind evolution could have reached some improbable target involving a great complex coordination of components. If you shrink the scale, things get much, much worse. The problem of explaining the mechanisms of cellular machinery are vastly more difficult. For example, the basic cellular operation of protein synthesis involves at least six different very complicated components which must all be tightly coordinated: a genetic code, DNA, messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, transfer RNA, and proteins. The degree of coordination at this microscopic level makes the coordination of muscles and bones in a wing look very trivial in comparison.
How can all this coordination be explained when Darwinian orthodoxy offers no mechanism for coordination? Nye offers no hint, and I do not find “coordination” in the ten-page index at the back of his book. I see in his index only two pages that discuss biological complexity (pages 60-61), and those pages offer nothing to explain it (other than the not very helpful claim that the “speed of sexual selection” may contribute to biological complexity). I also see no mention of “coordination” in the index of Ridley's 600-page textbook on evolution. But I guess that's not surprising, since explaining biological coordination is not something that Darwinian orthodoxy does in any substantive way.
A better book on evolution is Nick Lane's book Life Ascending: The Ten Great Inventions of Evolution. Lane talks about ten leaps that life had to make to get to where it is now, but he sure doesn't persuade a probing reader that natural selection was all that was involved. One of the great leaps he talks about is the leap of prokaryotic cells to eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are primitive cells, and eukaryotic cells are the vastly more complicated, feature-rich cells which we are made up of. The move from one type to another has been described as like moving from a one-room studio apartment to a millionaire's mansion. We could also explain it as like upgrading from a 1980's version of MS-DOS to the current version of Windows (Windows 10).
Here is how Lane attempts to describe this change, using not natural selection as the explanation but the weird theory of endosymbiosis.
The world is split in two. There are the eternal prokaryotes and the kaleidoscopic eukaryotes. The transition from one to the other seems not to have been a gradual evolution, no slow climb to complexity...Only a rare and fortuitous event, a collaboration between two prokaryotes, one somehow getting inside the other, broke the deadlock. An accident. The new chimeric cell faced a host of problems...A happenstance solution may have given rise not just to the cell nucleus but also to a tendency to collect DNA and to combine it it in the endless constellations of the magical world around us. Another accident. The world of marvels around us, it seems, springs from two deep accidents. On such tender threads hangs fate. We are lucky to be here at all.
This is the weird theory that seems to be that a very complicated cell arose after one simple cell ate another simple cell and they somehow magically became a nice coordinated cell that was vastly more complicated. It's extremely hard to believe that this would happen by chance. “A quantum leap in complexity by digesting something” is not a plausible theory, particularly since eukaryotic cells are a hundred times larger in diameter than typical prokaryotic cells such as bacteria. That such a theory must be resorted to is further evidence that natural selection is not up to the job of explaining the origin of biological complexity.
The appearance of the first self-replicating molecules.
The appearance of the first primitive cells, and the genetic code they required (a system of symbolic representations).
The appearance of eukaryotic cells vastly more complex than prokaryotic cells – a quantum leap which Lane suggests cannot be explained by a gradual progression.
The transition of life from the sea to the land (hard to explain under current thinking, rather like explaining an evolution from earth-based organisms to organisms that live in a vacuum of outer space).
The appearance of birds, which has the wing stump problem.
The appearance of the human mind (with lots of features that natural selection doesn't explain, because they don't have survival value, as explained here).
Overall, the ability of natural selection and mutations to explain these things is poor. If scientists think otherwise, it's partly because they have long had a habit of underestimating requirements, as Lane does rather laughably when he makes this reductionist claim about the famous “hard problem of consciousness” emphasized by philosopher David Chalmers: “Surely Chalmers' hard problem is actually a problem in biochemistry.” As if some chemical equation could explain how Mind arises from matter.
But the very clannish and dogmatic community of evolutionary biologists will probably continue for quite a while to push the Official Party Line that natural selection explains the origin of biological complexity, in a way rather similar to the way that Marxist dogmas (an Official Party Line) would be handed down authoritatively from Moscow in the years of the Soviet Union.
Postscript: See this link for a list of about 50 researchers who are described as "a list of researchers and authors who have one way or another expressed their concerns on natural selection’s scope and believes that other mechanisms would better explain evolution processes." It's a very distinguished group (mostly scientists and professors), and each of them has written a book describing their views.
Should the First Martian Astronauts Be “Anomaly Argonauts”?
The United States spent 24 billion dollars (the equivalent of 180 billion in today's dollars) on several trips to the moon to perform the very boring job of collecting rocks. Why was so much money spent on such a boring task? History books say that national prestige was one of the main reasons for the Apollo project. But there's another reason that is rather harder to explain. The Apollo project was funded largely because during its prime funding years people were still in the grips of an enthusiastic “space fever” that gripped the country in the late 1950's and the early 1960's.
To understand this space fever, we should imagine ourselves in the boring white-bread world of the late 1950's. In those years magazines and Sunday newspaper supplements started to proclaim the coming of an exciting new Space Age. To a public which had never seen a space flight, this seemed like almost the most exciting thing imaginable. When the Mercury program started putting astronauts into space, in very dangerous manned missions, it was for quite some time “the greatest show on Earth.” Each time a Mercury astronaut got on the launchpad, TV viewers really had no idea whether the whole thing was going to blow up in a fiery explosion.
In about the middle of this “space fever,” the Apollo program was announced. People were still in the grip of a great enthusiasm for space travel, and were willing to fund the program to the hilt. But by the time of the second moon landing, space fever started to wear off. People got quickly tired of the Apollo missions, and started asking: why are we spending such astronomical funds on missions that do little but gather rocks?
Travel to another planet? Been there, done that.
Well, not really, but it sure feels that way, once CGI has treated you to a hundred different versions of astronauts on another planet, all in vivid detail.
So how can NASA generate the type of interest and enthusiasm that might be needed to fund a manned Mars mission? They won't be able to do it by highlighting the opportunities for rock collection on Mars. People have figured out from the Apollo missions that rock collection is as dull as dishwater.
But there's a way in which NASA might be able to brew up some serious interest for a manned Mars mission: leverage the paranormal.
I showed a closeup of this “mouse” to my wife and one of my daughters, without telling them it was from Mars, and asked: “What does this look like?” They both instantly answered: a mouse. Then there's the recently discovered anomaly discussed here, which looks like some ancient Assyrian face.
NASA's approach to these anomalies has been very standoffish. But what if these anomalies (and similar anomalies that may be discovered in future years) were to be made the centerpiece of a new Mars mission? That just might generate the kind of enthusiasm needed to fund a new mission.
It's time to wake up and smell the coffee. How many Martian domes and Martian “traffic lights” and Martian mouses and Martian sculptures and ridiculously long “levitating” Martian spoons can we photograph before it is obvious that some type of higher power is at work here, or was at work? We don't know what that higher power is, or whether it still exists; and we don't know whether it was extraterrestrial, spiritual, extra-dimensional or supernatural. But we want to send our guys to go investigate these incredibly strange things our rovers have photographed, and hopefully bring some of them back and put them in a museum for the whole world to look at. While doing this, we just might discover the secret of the universe.
Please give us 500 billion dollars to send people to Mars, because rocks and boulders are incredibly interesting. Why on Mars there are some fascinating sedimentary striations, and all kinds of very interesting metamorphic mineral concentrations.
We can imagine a Mars mission specifically centered around investigating anomalies. It would require some rover vehicle that would be capable of driving many miles so that astronauts could investigate many different previously photographed anomalies. But this would probably be feasible. Most of the Mars anomalies are concentrated in particular areas of Mars that were traversed by the Opportunity and Curiosity rovers. The anomalies are not randomly scattered across the planet.
The issue of making anomaly investigations a central part of a future Mars mission is relevant to an important upcoming decision: the decision about where the next Mars rover should land. To keep in play the possibility of a manned mission centered around anomaly investigation, the next rover should land not all that far from either the Curiosity landing site or the Opportunity rover landing site. In that case you would (after about the year 2025) have two thirds of the discovered anomalies in a relatively small area of Mars that could be conveniently checked out by a landing team equipped with a rover vehicle.
Long, long ago they told the tale of how brave voyagers risked great dangers to travel far away, so that they could bring back a strange eerie object more wondrous than any a man had ever seen. Now our brave astronauts will embark on a similar voyage, hoping to bring back not just one such object, but several of them.
I could imagine how such an approach might generate more interest than one in which astronauts are depicted mainly as just rock collectors.
The average person may occasionally read about the paranormal, and may get the impression that it is some extremely rare thing, based on how infrequently it is reported. But there are reasons for thinking that what you read about the paranormal may be just the tip of the tip of the iceberg. Instead of being a “blue moon” type of thing, the paranormal may be extremely common. Various factors may have caused you to think of the paranormal as being something extremely uncommon, when it actually may be very common.
Let's look at what some of these factors may be. One factor is that probably the overwhelming majority of people who have paranormal experiences do not publicly report them. There are several reasons why someone having a paranormal experience may not report it publicly. He may fear being ridiculed, or he may fear that if he reports a paranormal experience he may be thought of as weird or flaky or a liar, and that this may hurt his job prospects. Or someone may not report a paranormal experience simply because there was not any physical evidence he can present to show the incident occurred.
Of the people who do publicly report their paranormal experiences, probably the great majority simply make some social media entry that you are very unlikely to ever hear about. My guess is that 99% of all paranormal experiences are not reported in a way that would be likely to end up in a news story that you might ever read. Corporations are masters of milking the media for news coverage, but what is the chance that some person having a paranormal experience will then spam the news media (or issue a press release) in the right way to get good news coverage? Almost zero.
Another reason why the paranormal may be vastly more common than you might imagine is that your college or university probably failed to teach you anything about it. Modern colleges and universities are bastions of materialist thinking that like to exclude and denigrate the paranormal. When you took that psychology course in college, you should have learned all about the years of very substantial and methodical research done on the paranormal, particularly ESP. But you probably learned very little or nothing on the topic, leaving you with the impression that there isn't much there.
But what about news media such as newspapers, magazines, and online news sources? In general, they publish little about the paranormal. Someone with a very newsworthy account of a paranormal experience has only a small chance of getting substantial coverage in such media.
Below are some factors that tend to inhibit coverage about the paranormal.
News sources may exclude coverage of a paranormal story on the ground that it is not “respectable” or lacks prestige, even if it is well backed up by observations. But the weird speculations of some PhD may get exactly such coverage, even if they have no such observations to back them up. This makes no sense, because speculations should be the humble handmaidens of observations and experiments, rather than being granted a higher status.
A large fraction of paranormal experiences may be excluded on the grounds that they have some association with some religion. The thinking of a writer or editor may be that he doesn't want to discuss some paranormal experience associated with a religious person, on the grounds that this has low prestige, or that this may offend people of other religions or people with no religion. The problem with such an approach is that it ends up excluding a large fraction of all paranormal evidence. Once you've decided that you're not going to cover paranormal evidence associated with Catholics, fundamentalist Protestants, Hindus, Buddhists, Mormons, Shintoists, Spiritualists, and Muslims, you've then filtered out a large fraction (or perhaps a majority) of the evidence.
If some paranormal news story does get covered by a news media, the story is likely to be “back buried” so that you probably won't read it, rather than “front-paged.”. Even if the story is very worthy of followup coverage, it probably won't get it. If things worked similarly for other types of stories, we might have got one back page story on the Lewinsky affair, with no followup stories.
Reasons such as these may mean that you are unlikely to read about some important paranormal event that occurs. But what if you do happen to read a story about it? The chances are that after you read such a story you won't learn the most pertinent details, because of what we may call underreporting. Underreporting is described in this blog post. It's basically what happens when some news source excludes the most relevant and startling details of a story, the details that might make you say, “there's no way we can explain that.” An example would be if a witness exactly reported seeing a dazzlingly bright 50-meter disk in the sky, and such an experience is merely reported by a news media as a “a sighting of something unusual in the sky” or a “sighting of a disk-like object.” The sin of underreporting is habitually committed by wikipedia.com, which as a general rule has nothing but outrageously biased articles on paranormal topics, articles designed to make you think “there's nothing there.” The same sin of underreporting is committed by many other news sources.
As a result of all of these factors, you may end up reading in your lifetime very little about the paranormal. You may get the impression that the paranormal is some “blue moon” type of thing, and that people who have paranormal experiences are some very rare oddballs such as Uri Geller. But to the contrary, there is good reason to think that paranormal experiences occur to large fractions of the public. Public opinion polls that deal with experiences with the paranormal (not just beliefs about the paranormal) show that significant fractions of the public say they have had paranormal experiences. For example, a Pew Research poll indicated that 29% of the American public claimed to have been in touch with someone who died, and 19% claim to have seen a ghost. My guess is that a more comprehensive poll asking about all types of paranormal experiences (including UFO's, ESP, mystical experiences, precognition, highly improbable answered prayers, and so forth) might suggest that more than half of the public have had some type of paranormal experiences at some time in their life. In fact, this infographic tells us that 71% of Americans report having had a paranormal experience.
So despite the impression you get from our filtered print media, the paranormal may not be very abnormal.
Requirements underestimation is what occurs when somebody underestimates what is required for something to happen, failing to understand the necessary prerequisites. Teenagers dreaming of their future may sometimes make such an error. A male teenager may think: all I need to be the next rock star is a guitar. But that ignores many other things you typically need: a good singing voice, good looks, guitar playing ability, connections, some catchy songs, and so forth. Similarly, a female teenager may think: all I need to be the next big starlet is a ticket to Hollywood. But that ignores lots of other typical requirements such as good looks, connections or a successful audition, and acting ability or comedic ability.
It's not just teenagers who are guilty of requirements underestimation. Even the leader of a country may underestimate requirements. One example is this statement by Adolf Hitler while planning the conquest of the Soviet Union: You only have to kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down. Judging from that statement, Hitler thought that all that was needed to conquer Russia was a swift, strong initial attack. This proved to be a huge mistake. The next winter countless German soldiers froze to death because they didn't have winter coats, one of the requirements that had been overlooked.
One very different set of people that has underestimated requirements repeatedly over the centuries is theoretical scientists. Whether estimating the requirements for life or the requirements for an orderly universe or the requirements for the human mind or the requirements for a body such as the sun or the requirements for stable matter, our scientists have again and again underestimated the requirements, failing to understand how high the requirements are.
Many decades ago scientists thought that there were no particularly special requirements for the origin of life. It was believed that life could just spontaneously arise from sterile matter, and that this routinely happened. Even after this spontaneous generation idea died away, scientists continued to believe that the appearance of the first life didn't require anything too special. Darwin's description of the origin of life merely mentions some chemicals in a warm pond, nothing too special. But now we understand that the origin of life has vastly greater requirements, including the fantastically improbable appearance of self replicating molecules, the appearance of a genetic code, and so forth. Clearly the origin of life has vastly higher requirements than scientists imagined in the nineteenth century.
In considering the idea of atoms, scientists long underestimated the requirements that must be met for atoms to exist, assuming that there basically were no such requirements. The idea was that atoms were just solid tiny balls, the type of things that would have no requirements. But the more scientists learned about atoms, the more they learned about how many requirements must be met for our atoms to exist. Among the many requirements now known are: an existence of a strong nuclear force that binds the nucleus together; an existence of electromagnetic attraction between protons and electrons, which tends to keep electrons near the nucleus; the existence of quantum mechanics laws that prevent such an attraction from causing electrons to fall into the nucleus.
In considering the sun, scientists long thought of it as something with no special requirements. They thought of the sun as just some hot ball of fire, and probably thought of it as having no more requirements than having a large mass to slowly burn. But now we understand that many requirement must be met for stars like the sun to exist. Besides Einstein's most famous equation, there are physical constants that must be very precisely fine-tuned, or stars like the sun won't be able to exist.
When considering the origin of cosmic structure, scientists long thought that only one thing was needed: gravitation of the type described by Newton. But then eventually they concluded that there are more requirements: things such as dark matter and dark energy.
For centuries astronomers thought that the universe had nothing along the lines of origin requirements. Their assumption was simply that the universe had existed forever. But then the Big Bang was discovered, and within 15 years scientists found out that it wasn't just any old Big Bang but an exquisitely fine-tuned Big Bang in which the initial expansion rate matched the critical density to 50 decimal places. So scientists got busy trying to create a theory trying to explain this new very precise requirement for our existence.
Do you see the general trend here? The historical trend is that again and again theoretical scientists have vastly underestimated the requirements for the existence of beings such as ourselves and a universe such as ours. One reason this may happen is that a theoretical scientist has a very strong temptation to do such a thing. The fewer requirements that are recognized as things that must be explained to explain some aspect of nature, the easier it is for a scientist to claim that he has some theory that explains that aspect of nature. If a scientist candidly acknowledges that the requirements for phenomenon X are mountainous requirements, he won't be able to claim he has a good theory explaining that phenomenon; but if he speaks as if those requirements are mere molehill requirements, he might be able to persuade you that he has a good theory explaining the phenomenon.
They keep thinking "molehills" when they should be thinking "mountains"
This perennial sin of requirements underestimation continues to this day. A current example of requirements underestimation is Darwinism, the idea that evolution can be explained merely by natural selection and random mutations. This idea drastically underestimates the requirements for the origin of complex biological functionality, by ignoring the high degree of coordination that is needed for such a thing.
Every engineer knows that tremendous coordination is required for the origin of complex functionality. Every software manager knows that you cannot do a complicated software release without a high degree of coordination in introducing the diverse parts that make up a new substantial unit of functionality. But Darwinism has no mechanism for any such coordination. It requires that we believe that required bits of functionality arrive at random times over vast time spans, and that this somehow works to create marvelously intricate and complex functionality.
A high degree of sequential coordination, so that parts are appropriately preceded by other parts on which they are dependent.
Darwinism has basically zero provision for the last three requirements. According to Darwinism, the requirements for the origin of fantastically complicated biological functionality we observe are simply the following: random genetic variation (helped by mutations) and survival of the fittest. This is a gigantic case of requirements underestimation, the same intellectual sin that our theoretical scientists have committed so often throughout scientific history.
Our neurologists also underestimate requirements drastically in trying to explain human consciousness. They assume a simplistic “light from the light bulb” model of consciousness, in which our minds are merely the product of brain activity. But how can a few pounds of neurons produce all the wonders of human mentality? Why would merely arranging some cells in some particular way magically cause the wonder of human consciousness? Thinking more realistically, we will assume that a requirement of the human mind is some unknown X factor that we do not understand, something that comes from beyond our brains. Only by such an assumption can we account for the wealth of solid evidence for human paranormal abilities and unusual psychic experiences. Such evidence is overlooked and ignored by most neurologists, who underestimate the requirements for our minds by assuming that they are purely material.
Have we pretty much figured out the physical requirements for a universe such as ours? There is every reason to suspect that we have barely begun such a task. One reason is that we have in no way accounted for the apparently vast information processing requirements for an orderly universe. For example, under current theory there is a force of gravitational attraction between your body and every other piece of matter in the universe, in addition to forces of electromagnetic repulsion and attraction between your body and every body in the universe. But how is such a thing calculated? It would seem all too reasonable to assume that the universe has behind it some vast information processing infrastructure which allows such things to be calculated. But the whole issue of the information processing requirements of nature has been almost completely ignored by scientists, who just kind of think that “nature somehow magically does it.” When we actually get into determining the information processing requirements of nature, we may well discover countless additional requirements for our existence. We may also discover that a universe such as ours absolutely requires not merely a few physical laws, but a complicated regulatory system resembling a very complex computer program, with an extensive amount of conditional logic embedded within it.
What is astonishing is the failure of scientists to imagine that there may be a wealth of requirements for our existence that they know nothing about, even though the history of requirements underestimation by scientists strongly suggests exactly such a thing. It is as if after discovering the seventh requirement for beings such as us and a universe such as ours, scientists then decided that there were no more than seven such requirements; and that after discovering the twenty-first requirement for beings such as us and a universe such as ours, scientists then decided that there were no more than twenty-one such requirements; and that after discovering the sixty-fifth requirement for beings such as us and a universe such as ours, scientists then decided that there were no more than sixty-five such requirements. Why is it that scientists cannot see the trend line here? Why is that they cannot imagine that the total requirements we have thus far discovered for beings such as us and a universe such as ours may be only a tenth or a hundredth of the actual requirements? Perhaps it is because that theoretical scientists would then be forced to stop swaggering about and thinking of themselves as grand lords of explanation, and to realize that their understanding of nature is merely paltry and fragmentary.
On 9:00 on August 17, 2135 Ed Newton began another day as an office worker. The hardest part of Ed's day seemed to be the beginning, when he had to walk up 35 stories to his office on the 35th floor. They didn't use elevators at Ed's building, because elevators used too much electricity. As part of the global agreement to reduce fossil fuel emissions, part of a late effort to try to reduce global warming, non-essential examples of energy use had been banned. The ban included air conditioning, elevators, and power lawn mowers.
Ed's life as an office worker had some similarities to the life of an office worker in the early twenty-first century. One major difference was the clothing. Around the year 2015 men came to work in “business casual” long sleeve shirts and khakis, if they were fortunate enough to work at a company without rigid dress requirements. Otherwise they might have to wear ties and perhaps even suits. But at Ed's company people dressed much more casually. All of the workers wore bathing suits.
No one at the company had mandated that workers must wear bathing suits. It simply became necessary to do so. The temperature inside the building was typically 115 degrees Fahrenheit, sometimes climbing to 120. With these temperatures you could no longer wear pants or shirts without a high risk of fainting.
Many of the employees wore hats indoors, but they were very unusual types of hats, what they called water hats. When you wore these hats, you looked kind of like someone wearing a big bowl on top of your head. But the bowl of the water hat had lots of little holes in it. The idea is that you would fill your water hat with water, and then water would gradually drip down on to your body. This might be enough to keep you from fainting from the heat.
But the water boys kept things from getting too bad. The water boys were summer interns whose sole work was to keep employees from fainting because of the heat. The water boys would walk the office floors, armed with plant mist sprayers. Whenever they saw signs that an employee was close to fainting – signs such as a little pool of sweat on the employee's desk – the water boys would start spraying their plant sprayers around that employee's body.
The glass parts of the windows on Ed's skyscraper had long since been removed, so that air could get in. This created a fierce competition for cubicle spaces close to the window holes, which employees battled out with great seriousness. Back around the year 2015 you might want to get a cubicle near the window so that you could enjoy the view. But in Ed's building the employees knew that their lives might depend on getting a cubicle close to a window hole. It was no secret on Ed's floor that the five employees who had died from heat prostration while working at their cubicles had all worked in cubicles near the center of the floor, away from the window breezes.
The bosses on Ed's floor knew how to exert power with an iron hand. To force obedience, they didn't need to threaten to fire people or lower their salaries. The bosses would merely threaten to relocate workers to cubicles at the center of the building, which didn't get any breezes.
At 4:07 PM a summer thunderstorm started. Whenever this happened all the people on the floor would drop whatever they were doing, and move over to the open window holes, hoping to catch a little bit of coolness and mist from the falling rain. Some would reach their hands out the 7-foot tall window holes, trying to wet their hands. They would then rub their hot faces with the cool raindrops.
Ed saw his boss Mr. Fields reach his arms way out the window hole to catch some falling raindrops.
“Be careful, boss,” urged Ed.
“I know what the hell I'm doing,” said Mr. Fields, who reached his arm out a little bit farther out the window hole. Then Ed heard a sickening shriek which started out loud and then gradually died away into silence. Ed heard no noise when the body of Mr. Fields struck the ground 35 floors below.
But later Ed realized that there was a silver lining in this dark cloud. For he realized that he would get Mr. Field's cubicle space closer to one of the window holes.
Does Some Spiritual Realm Overlap Our Physical Realm?
Could it be that our known physical reality is very close to some other very different reality, one that we cannot see, but that occasionally interacts with our reality? Could it be that such a different reality is inhabited by minds or spirits far greater than ours? Such a concept may seem unreasonable, until we consider that such a situation would be quite similar to the situation that we know exists for aquatic organisms living in a bay.
Let us consider the situation of an aquatic organism living in a bay. Such an organism has a familiar local reality that it might traverse – the bay that it lives in. Beyond that bay lies a much greater reality that such an organism might journey to, if it were really adventurous. For by traveling out into the ocean, such an organism could gain access to many other distant realities such as distant rivers and distant bays. We might say that the organism's bay is rather like a planet, that the ocean the bay connects to is rather like outer space, and that the distant bays and distant bodies of water that can be accessed are rather like extraterrestrial planets.
But the description above does not mention one very important fact about this organism living in a bay: the fact that lying very close to it is some totally different type of reality that the organism is totally unfamiliar with. I refer to the reality of the solid land that surrounds the bay. On that land is a reality unlike any that the organism has ever experienced: a reality where there dwells beings more advanced than anything in the bay.
We have reality figured out. All reality consists of water and creatures like us who live in the water. There exist distant, mysterious places we can visit. But such places are all like our reality – places where creatures live in the water.
The great irony here would be that very close to such an octopus would be a totally different reality, the reality of land-based life. But the octopus would know nothing about such a reality, even though it is very close to him.
We may be very much like such octopuses. The reason is that lying very close to our physical reality may be a totally different reality we cannot imagine: some spiritual realm. Such a realm may be inhabited by minds or spirits vastly more advanced than ours. We cannot imagine such a realm any more than an octopus can imagine life on the land. But we may end up in such a realm after we die.
Below is a table that describes the similarities between these two scenarios. The second column represents a known reality. The third column represents a theoretical reality that has many similarities to the reality described in the second column.
Some have speculated about some possible “other reality” lying outside of our known watery reality. Such talk is, of course, superstitious nonsense. All that exists is water and creatures like us who live in water.
Some have speculated about some possible “other reality” lying outside our known material reality. Such talk is, of course, superstitious nonsense. All that exists is matter and creatures like us who live on a planet made of matter.
Some day you may get a sign or calling card from such a spiritual Realm B. It might be a mysterious orb that shows up in your photo, an inexplicable voice or sound, a strange feeling of an unseen presence, or a series of coins that keep showing up inexplicably. Your first thought may be to exclude such a sign as something impossible, but perhaps you should be no more surprised by such a thing than some octopus at the bottom of a bay should be surprised to see a thrown pebble or a fishing line falling down into his watery realm.
Note: This blog post was written in draft form a few days after the event described.
On September 24th, 2014, I heard of my sister's death from cancer while I was walking to a park (I was informed by a telephone call). I continued my walk to the park and reached it within 30 minutes. When I entered the park, a very strange thing happened. Leaf after leaf started to fall from the trees. One could describe it as a leaf shower. In the sixty seconds it took me to walk from the entrance of the park to a pond, it seemed like at least 100 leaves fell (it could easily have been 150 or 200).
Such an event would be less surprising if it were in October (when most of the leaves fall in New York City), or if it were a very windy day. But it was neither. The average wind speed in New York City at the time was 11 miles per hour, and the location was far away from any place where urban “wind funnel” effects arise. The date was only September 24th, when relatively few leaves fall in New York City (peak foliage in New York City isn't until about October 17th). There was no noticeable gust of wind, just a gentle breeze.
I immediately sensed that this event was very, very improbable. The odds against such a spike in leaf falls (during a sixty second period) seemed astronomical. For comparison, when I returned to the park on September 28th, I looked around for three minutes at the same spot where this “leaf shower” had occurred, counting the leaves that fell – but saw only one leaf fall.
But just how unlikely was this “leaf shower” I saw on the day of my sister's death? Calculating that turned out to be an interesting exercise in probability calculation.
Later I tried to do some calculations to calculate the likelihood of such a “leaf shower,” but it seemed extremely hard. Finally I figured out a technique for making a probability estimate. It involved using an online “Binomial probability calculator.” I used the calculator at vassarstats.com for this purpose. Part of its main screen is below.
(3) the probability of success on any one trial or try (represented in the screen above as p).
But how could I make my observations fit this calculator? I thought of a way. I decided to invent the concept of a “branch minute,” and to use that as the “trial” that the calculator would deal with. By a “branch minute” I meant a particular minute of time during which one particular tree branch might or might not shed a leaf. Under this model a “successful trial” would be a case of a branch shedding a leaf during a particular minute. For the “number of trials” I would put the total number of nearby tree branches within my view while I witnessed this “leaf shower.” Since my walk down this pathway had only lasted one minute, the total number of “branch minutes” would just be equal to the total number of branches near the walkway. I estimated this as 300 (although I easily could have used a number half as much).
For the “number of successes” I would simply list the number of leaves I had seen fall, which I estimated as being at least 100. But what about the “probability of success on a single trial”? That fraction would need to be the chance of one branch at this park shedding a leaf during a particular minute on this not-very-windy September day. I used the number of leaves on the walkway to help estimate this number. Given the fact that there were relatively few leaves on the walkway, the fact that it was only September 24 (about a month before peak foliage in New York City), and the fact that the wind speed was low, I estimated the “probability of success on a single trial” as only 2%. This means that if you were to be staring at a particular branch on a tree on this September 24th date, you would have to wait an average of about 50 minutes before you would see a leaf fall from that branch.
This 2% estimate seems generous, and the actual likelihood may have been much less. I may note that four days later I walked to the same place, and looked around for three minutes, waiting for a leaf to fall. I saw only one leaf falling. Judging from that observation, and using the same estimate of 300 nearby tree branches, I would have concluded that the probability per “branch minute” of a leaf falling was only about .1% (only a twentieth of 2%), because such a probability would result in only one leaf falling along the walkway every three minutes.
So after putting in these inputs, corresponding to the estimates above, I pressed the Calculate button. Here was the result that I got.
The calculator indicated that there was less than 1 chance in a trillion that this number of successes (which in this case is the number of leaf falls I saw during that minute) would have occurred. That is a probability less than the chance of you meeting a stranger and correctly guessing on the first try both his social security number and his birthday. The calculation confirms my original thought that what I saw at the park was fantastically improbable.
But what if I overestimated the number of leaves that fell, would that make a big difference? It turns out that using this calculator I would have get the same probability (of less than 1 in a trillion) even if the number of successes (the number of observed leaves falling) was only 35. So even if only 35 leaves had fallen during the minute of my walk to the pond, the chance of that happening would only have been less than 1 in a trillion. This shows that the actual probability of getting 100 successes out of 300 trials with a chance of success per trial of .02 (2%) is actually something much, much less than 1 in a trillion – perhaps as low as 1 in a quadrillion or 1 in a quintillion.
Why is this possibly significant? Because the odds of this “leaf shower” event occurring naturally seem so incredibly small (much smaller than the chance of you winning 100 million dollars in the lottery tomorrow), there is an almost irresistible temptation to interpret it as a possible sign from the Great Beyond, particularly given the fact that it occurred within an hour after I learned of my sister's death. It's not all that farfetched as it may seem. Imagine that there is some spiritual world that somehow overlaps our physical world. It might be possible for there to be a little energy interaction between the two, of a type that might result in a wildly improbable falling of leaves.
I know of one person who saw a rainbow on the day of her mother's burial. She interpreted that as a sure-fire sign from heaven. But seeing a rainbow on a particular day is not terribly improbable. Given the number of rainbows I have seen in my life, I roughly estimate that your chance of seeing a rainbow on the day of a funeral or burial is about 1 in 5000. But the probability reached through my calculation is vastly smaller. Seeing a rare rainbow in the sky is chickenfeed compared to seeing something as improbable as what I saw.
Me: It was eerie. On the day my relative died on September 24th, I saw a shower of at least 100 leaves in a single minute, on a day with little wind.
Jane: Oh, that's nothing. On the day of my mother's burial, I saw a rainbow.
But Jane's comment is wildly off base. The probability of the first event is perhaps billions of times smaller than the second event. So a more appropriate conversation to have is one like the one below.
Jane: It was eerie. On the day of my mother's burial, I saw a rainbow.
Me: Oh, that's nothing. On the day my sister died on September 24th, I saw a shower of at least 100 leaves in a single minute, on a day with little wind.
Some spiritual people say there is no such thing as a coincidence. I don't agree. I think there are plenty of “100 to 1 shot” coincidences and “1000 to 1 shot” coincidences that happen all the time, along with rare “100,000 to 1 shot” coincidences you might see a few times in a lifetime. But when you start considering a coincidence with a probability of much less than 1 in a trillion, that is when it becomes very, very hard to believe that mere coincidence is involved.

From investigating serious crimes in rural Alberta to training Afghani police forces, Insp. Ray Noble brings a wealth of experience to Red Deer city RCMP.
Jul. 21, 2009 2:36 p.m.
Last month, Noble became the new detachment commander, becoming responsible for about 125 Mounties. He replaces Insp. George Stephenson, who is being transferred to take over the Grande Prairie detachment.
Noble said he’s glad to be stationed in a centre that’s closer to his children.
He and his wife Julianne have two grown children, a son in Calgary and a daughter in Saskatoon.
He’s also working under Supt. Brian Simpson, district commander overseeing both Noble’s office and the one manned by Staff Sgt. Gord Glasgow at Red Deer rural RCMP.
Noble’s own career spans nearly 29 years. He’s worked in nine Canadian communities — from Prince Rupert to Whitehorse to Ottawa.
And he’s done it all, including traffic, First Nation policing and organized crime through the Proceeds of Crime unit. He’s been detachment commander before, too.
Noble said he’s keen to see Mounties develop their potential — a practice already supported by Simpson and Stephenson over the past few years.
Giving staff a range of training possibilities makes a difference to the public, too, Noble added.
One thing Red Deer residents shouldn’t expect with Noble are big-scale changes. Making small incremental changes — with goals in mind — is his game plan.
“As the city grows, we’ll need to establish more of a presence to maintain quick response times,” Noble said.
That could mean more precincts, like the recently opened police/fire station on 67th Street. He’s also glad to see the RCMP office at 45th Street and 51st Avenue is being built for future needs as well.
During his one-year stint in Afghanistan, which ended last February, he realized just how different police work can be. Some Afghani officers lived in barracks at the stations they worked at.
They’d stay there for months without seeing family, and sometimes with no pay due to corruption.
And the U.S. military, who he was embedded with, were good at setting goals and accomplishing them.
“It taught me not to jump to conclusions,” he said of his overseas mission.

We as humans are simply not design to move gracefully underwater. It normally takes tremendous effort on our part just to more a few feet underwater. For us to swim more effectively underwater we use scuba fins. Have the right pair of fins should feel natural, like an appendage, and should propel us through the water with less effort as possible.
Below is a quick video on how to choose the right scuba diving fins. The video goes over, the many type and features available in scuba diving fins.
Also if you are interested in buying a new dive computer you can ready the best dive computer reviews at www.divecomputerhq.com.
Below is a table of some of the best fins available on the market today. The table will allow to quickly compare some of the make features of these scuba fins so you can make a more informed decision.
For a more in depth scuba fins reviews and more you can visit my blog at http://www.scubafinshq.com . There you can find detail reviews of the best scuba fins, as well as selection tips, and guide to help you choose the right fins for you diving needs.

Defund, Disarm & Disband the IDF!
Each week the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) spokesperson releases a few videos that are then posted on Twitter. They vary a bit but all have the same theme: Aren’t we just great! We (the IDF) are cool, and cute and tough and committed and good looking and serious and oh so humane. Yes they are especially so humane. But the truth is that the IDF is no more than a glorified terrorist organization that is well funded and well fed and needs to be defunded, disarmed and disbanded before its commanders and generals are dragged to The Hague for their crimes.

Main Fabric. For either version, you’ll want a medium to lightweight fabric. For knits, that includes jersey, ITY, baby rib, some double knits. For wovens, that includes rayon challis, silk or rayon crepe, lightweight linen or chambray, seersucker.
Interfacing. If you’re making Version 2, it can be helpful to use a small piece of interfacing on the button tabs to reinforce your buttonhole.
Elastic. Both versions require 1 ½ yards of 1” elastic.
Buttons. For version 2, you’ll also need two ¼” buttons.
When looking for fabric for your Myrtle, you’ll want to look for a fabric that has a nice drape. This is because we want our cowl neckline to flow and hang nicely. If the fabric is too stiff, the cowl will stand up and away from the neck. This would not a very flattering detail (although possibly useful for catching crumbs). If you’re not sure about a fabric choice, fold it into a double layer and hold it up to yourself to make a mock cowl. Then you can see how it will look on the finished garment.
Generally, a nice drape means medium to lightweight fabrics. Anything that is on the lighter and slinkier end of the spectrum would make a lovely Myrtle.
Do keep in mind that the front bodice piece is self-lined by folding it in half, so if your fabric is sheer and you choose a very high contrast print, it may show through.
Myrtle is a rare pattern that can be made in either a knit or a woven fabric. Usually, patterns are either one or the other, and some fit alterations are necessary if swapping knits for wovens or vice versa. But because of the elastic waist and the ease around the bust, you can go with either a knit or a woven.
If you are making Version 2, it will be helpful to interface the buttonhole area to prevent them from stretching out. As with all buttonholes, you should do some experimentation first to see what works the best. You can try using fusible knit or tricot interfacing, which has some stretch to it, or fusible woven interfacing, which will make your fabric a bit sturdier.
Here are a few different fabric options I’ve come across during my online window shopping. I can’t wait to live vicariously through all of your fabric choices!
Hand Sewing Needle. This is for sewing on the buttons in Version 2.
You can make the Myrtle using either a serger or your standard home sewing machine. We’ll touch upon techniques for both in a future post.
I got my fabric, actually I am using something from my stash. Its a jersey knit. Now I am not accustomed to washing my fabric before I sew. Should I wash in the washing machine or by hand?
You should wash however you plan on caring for the finished garment. Machine is ok! You definitely want to prewash so that if the fabric is going to shrink, it shrinks before you make the dress and not after.
How would you like to wash your dress? If you always wash your clothing by hand, then wash your fabric that way. If you are a machine wash enthusiast then you should wash and dry your fabric that way.
I am thrilled to be getting started in your sew-along! I would love to see detail, unclose sketches/photos to make my decision about which version to make. Also, where do I find the fabric amounts required? Thanks so much!
If you click the “Supplies” tab next to “Description” in the online store [link below], you can see fabric yardages and size measurements. Also, the final picture there has pictures of drawings.
I am so excited about sewing this beautiful dress! I’ve got the same question as Carol, how much fabric would I need for a size 8 and almost 6ft? Thank you so much for sewing this dress with us!
If you click the “Supplies” tab next to “Description” in the online store [link below], you can see fabric yardages and size measurements.
Also listed there you can check the finished back length [that’s measured from the nape of your neck down to the finished hem of the dress] to see if you want to lengthen it. If so you’ll want to get extra fabric.
If you click on “Supplies” next to “Description” in the online store, [link below], you can see all the size measurements and yardages.
Have fabric and essentials and almost ready to go….can’t wait!
I have my fabric and am in love with it. I’d better get this dress right!
I’ve never washed fabric before starting to sew. What’s the likelihood of it fraying in the washing machine? Should I do a run of stitches at the cut edges or will it be OK?
The knit won’t fray in the wash. A woven will fray, but usually not more than 1/4″ – 1/2″ [although it does make a mess of tangled threads!].
You can pretreat any fabric for the wash by either zigzagging or serging along both cut edges.
In fact, if you serge or zigzag the two cut ends together, there is less twisting and bunching in the washing machine. I have a front-loader, and if I put more than 1 or 2 yards of continuous fabric in, it wrings itself into a twisted knot and doesn’t really get the preshrinking I’d intended it to get. Sewing the two ends together makes it a smaller overall length and diminishes that effect. Then, after pulling it out of the dryer, you can slice off the sewn bit so it’ll be ready for cutting.
That’s an excellent tip. Long lengths of fabric are a bit unwieldy.
I’m excited to start this sew-along! I would love some advice on fabric choice. I would prefer to do this in a knit. However, I am basically a novice/very rusty sewer (this’ll be my second project in about 20 years!) and I have no experience with knits. Would it be a safer/wiser choice for me to attempt my first Myrtle in a woven?
I do generally recommend wovens over knits to beginners/novices. However, it does depend a little on the woven. If you choose one that is slinky and drapey [like a rayon] it might be a similar difficulty to working with a knit.
Using a cotton voile or lawn might be a good fabric to start with, as they are fairly stable but thin enough to be drapey. The dress might be a little sheer but you can always wear something under.
The biggest thing about working with knits is using the right tools and stitches, which we will be going over, so I’d say don’t shy away from a fabric just because it’s a knit!
OK, thanks! I guess I will decide which way to go when I find the fabric I love for this dress.
Do you know what fabric was used for the off-white/ivory dress shown in the Myrtle pictures on the Colette Patterns website?
I asked Sarai and she said it’s actually just a plain cotton jersey!
Will we be making a muslin for this sewalong. I’m a new sewer and don’t want to mess up my fabric. Thanks.
We won’t be specifically making a muslin during the sewalong, but you can certainly make a practice version if you want. If you’re using a knit, make sure you make your muslin out of a knit that has a similar weight and drape to your fashion fabric.
Have you ever made a “muslin” out of a less dearly beloved fabric as a rehearsal, and then found that you liked the muslin better than the intended, more expensive garment? I do that regularly, but realize that the muslin garment is a bonus.
Sounds like candidates for a dyeing project!
I am so excited to start this sew along. I made one Myrtle already out of an organic cotton knit. It turned out alright but is a little rough around the edges if you get real close. I am so excited to see all of your pictures and tips as they are always very useful. I am also excited because I have been dying for an excuse to buy the floral Marc Jacobs fabric you included above and I used this as my excuse. Fingers crossed this one turns out well. Thanks for your amazing guidance Devon.
I’m really excited to start! I have a stash of vintage silks and rayons that I want to try out. But I’ve never really sewn with a silky fabric. Is it better to start out with a lightweight cotton? I also have a vintage lightweight cotton madras.
Also I have an old singer I use that only does straight stitch, is there any other stitches needed?
Oh and what’s the ease in your patterns?
The lightweight cotton would be easier. Do you have much sewing experience in general? If you’ve made several projects with stable fabrics and felt good about them, then I wouldn’t be afraid of the slippery stuff. But if you’re just starting out I’d do it with the cotton first.
You’ll use the straight stitch to construct everything, but you will also need to finish the raw edges on the inside so they don’t fray. A common method is to zig zag the edges, but if your machine doesn’t do a zig zag you can trim all the exposed edges [after you sew] with pinking shears to do the same thing. You could also bind the raw edges, which would be more laborious but it would be a nicer finish and would last longer.
You can check the ease by looking at the finished garment measurements. Check out the back of the pattern envelope and compare the finished garment measurements with your body measurements. The difference is the ease.
For this particular pattern there is about 2-3″ of positive ease in the bust and about 1-2″ of negative ease around the waist, depending on what your actual body measurements are and what size you choose.
I’ve had the bold floral fabric from Mood (1st in the 2d row) for two years…waiting for the perfect pattern. It’s lightweight wool that drapes quite nicely. Can’t wait to do a Myrtle in it.
I am a beginner to sewing and the sew along. I wanted to use a woven, like a light cotton or something (still not confident with fabric type). Would that be OK?
Sure! A light cotton would be great for your first time doing it.
I found a linen knit. Think that would be too problematic to work with? I have sewn with knits before–with some success. Hoping this is going to be better.
Went to the store today to look for a knit. There are so many kinds it was a little overwhelming (cotton knits, poly knits, bamboo knits, rayon knits, blends, etc). Will polyester knits or knit blends work for this dress? What percent spandex would be ideal?
Spandex content would be ideal between 5% to 10%, although depending on the fabric more or less is ok!
Is the cowl neck any different between version 1 and version 2 of myrtle? It appears a bit different in the print versus the white dress in the promotional photos but perhaps that is by chance..
No, both versions use the same pattern piece, the difference you see is just due to a use of different fabrics.
My pattern (my first Collette pattern) arrived last night and I had to peek. The pattern is beautifully done, clear instructions and nice quality materials. It is a little more spendy than I normally buy but I’m hoping the difference is in the drafting. So I went out and bought a lovely jersey knit. It is super soft and has a nice drape. I am really excited to start this project!
I absolutely love the black and white fabric the model is wearing. Is that a current fabric that can be purchased?
I asked Sarai, and she said it’s actually a vintage silk she found at an antique store. So unfortunately no!
Actually any of those would work! But I’d recommend braided or knit. I personally find woven and non roll to be thick and stiff and kind of uncomfortable. Braided elastic will be the most durable choice. Knit elastic is stretchier but lighter duty, so it would be good to use if your fabric is very lightweight.
This is my first sewalong & I’m so excited! I got the fabric I’m using over 2 years ago. I hope I have enough! When I saw the Myrtle, I liked it better than the pattern I originally bought the fabric for.
I have a slinky drapey striped knit I’d like to use from my stash, but I only have 1 and 1/4 yd of it (60″ w). I plan on making a size S, which requires 2 5/8 yd of 60″. I saw that you said the front bodice piece is self lined – would I be okay to purchase a solid knit in the additional amount I need, to use for the lining? So excited for this sewalong!!
Hi! So, if you get another fabric for the lining, unfortunately I still don’t think you’ll have enough with 1.25 yds. Also, the bodice and lining are all one solid piece that you would have to seam somewhere. You wouldn’t want to do it right at the top of the cowl because you would see it when the cowl draped. You’d want to do it on the inside, and at that point you’d barely be saving any fabric.
So I’d say, either use your fabric as the skirt or bodice and get a contrasting fabric to supplement. Or, you could make a peplum length Myrtle, and just cut off the skirt around hip level. Or save it for a super cute t shirt!

As we got closer to Gyeongbokgung, former royal palace located in downtown Seoul, we began to see many people dressed in traditional Korean clothing. It was nice to see the old mixing effortlessly with the new.
Taking a quick stroll over to Changdeokgung Palace, we passed by busy streets and stores.
In old Bukchon Hanok village, there are hundreds of traditional Korean homes, art galleries, and establishments–like this cafe.
After some absolutely delicious Korean barbecue, we visited Myeongdong market. Even at 11pm, there was still a hustle-bustle in the heart of Seoul.

The Alps region that is covered with ice and debris of pebbles today looked glamorous with colourful flowers and fruit-bearing trees once. This region in Switzerland was not only beautiful and fertile, but also home for numerous legends – more than any other locations in Switzerland. Particularly Bern uplands had a popular story about mount Clariden.
Alpine uphill was once rich and gorgeous. The cattle here thrived in all aspects; cows were milked thrice a day and each cow gave two buckets of milk every time.
A wealthy herdsman lived in one of the hills. He became too proud of his wealth. He furnished his old country home as elegant as a rich man’s and began courting Catherine, a beautiful milkmaid. Above all he built a staircase in the house with cheese, polished it with butter and washed it with milk. His love Catherine, his favorite cow Brandyl and pet dog Rhyn walked across those steps.
His pious mother did not have any idea of the sin her Alpine dairyman son committed. One summer Sunday, she thought of visiting him. She got tired on the way. Reaching her son’s home, she went upstairs and asked for a drink. The shepherd instructed his lady-love to take a milk-barrel, fill it with sour milk, sprinkle with some sand and serve that as drink. Shocked by the despicable act, the mother came out of home. She ran down the hill. Standing still at the foot of the hill she cursed at the wicked one – “May God punish you!”.
A devastating storm rose within moments, ravaged the beautiful meadow, destroyed the cattle and cottages. All the people and the animals of the hill were buried. The spirit of the herdsman was condemned along with his property till the time they learn to handle the mountain properly again. He screamed – “I and my dog Rhyn, my cow Brandyl and my Cathy will be in Clariden forever.” But their salvation depended on one condition. Only if a milkman could milk Brandyl’s thorny udder in complete silence then only they could escape the curse. But the village destroyed and wild plants came in its place. The cow too went wild. Milking a cow that didn’t stand still became more difficult. Once one milkman had milked half a bucket-full when another man arrived there out of the blue and asked tapping his shoulder: “Does the milk foam well?” The milkman forgot the condition of silence. He replied: “Oh yes!” With his response the chance of the salvation of the cursed one was over. Also Brandyl the cow disappeared before his eyes.
Interesting story. I love how many of these tales have a moral.
Many of these stories (Sagen) have tragic end; somewhere a lake was created due to supernatural intervention, or a village was abandoned as a result of a fight between people. In some cases there are morals and that help us ascertain the period of the stories while most of these morals carry the impression of Christian idea of morality.

Yesterday we saw the first season fog in Dubai which means that winter is coming soon to the relief of everyone for sure. Fog also means dangerous driving conditions and for those who have been in the region for some time will remember the massive pile ups that happened a few years ago on the E11 going to Abu Dhabi. Its pretty much world famous and known as one of the biggest pile ups in history. Even though with our police doing their utmost best in advising people in taking precautionary measures , we still see in the news that every season we have accidents caused by FOG. So here are some precautions and measures that we recommend.
1/ Same as driving through a sandstorm, foggy conditions require that more than usual safe distance is kept.
2/While driving in the slower lanes watch out for heavy vehicles or vehicles broken down on the hard shoulder. Things tend to happen very quick in fog.
3/Drive at a reduced speed and use your hazard lights to increase visibility of your vehicle. If your vehicle is fitted with fog lights then these can be used instead of the hazard lights.
4/Having your car lights on dim would increase your visibility to others. Full beam should be avoided as it just reflects against the fog and reduces visibility.
5/ As with a sandstorm, should you experience a breakdown try an find an exit and park in a safe place.If thats not feasible and you have to park on the hard shoulder please do not stay in the vehicle. Its better to find a safe place outside for all the occupants to wait since the risk of accident on hard shoulders is much higher.
