However the co2.log file doesn't really have any details about what happened.
The "quick fix" for this is to just refresh your browser. The message will go away and you can continue working in the UI.
The longer fix is to increase the logging levels for Process Auto to DEBUG.
As this is a very generic message and could happen for a large number of different reasons, a support issue will be required to review the DEBUG logs to find the affected class/module.
This can be a one time issue, or it could happen several times within a single session. If it is just a one time issue, refresh your browser and you probably won't see it again.
If this does happen multiple times, and even to multiple users, please open a support issue right away so we can assist in finding a resolution for you. | 2019-04-23T18:43:27 | https://comm.support.ca.com/kb/ca-process-automation-an-error-has-occurred-on-the-server/kb000097956 |
Our natural hair color solution appeals to anyone, whether they’re simply trying to change their look, cover grey hair, or wish or need to avoid harsh, chemical toxins. It is also completely color- safe for dyed, bleached, or chemically relaxed hair.
Pale Blonde(Marigold) natural hair dye is our most versatile Henna shade. It can soften chemical highlights, create natural blonde sun-streaking effects, tone down color that is too brassy, or cover greys.
With gray or white hair, MM Pale Blonde Henna hair dye coats the shaft for a soft, natural-looking golden hue.
For Sun-Streaking Effects we suggest leaving in the henna for 2 hours before rinsing (this may be repeated twice or more if necessary). The result is natural sun-streaking effects that no hairdresser can achieve!!
Our natural hair color lets you naturally change color or add highlights your hair without exposing yourself to harmful, damaging chemicals. Lots of colors to select from or mix and match to create your own unique style! See Color Chart. Light Blonde Henna should not be mixed with any other Henna colors, if Light Blonde is mixed with Browns you will get an orange or reddish color.
A stand test is a good indicator of what to expect when using henna. Apply henna to a hair sample, gathered from your brush or a previous haircut. Unlike regular chemical dye, henna works as a gloss, resulting in a color that is a mix between the dye color and the base color of your hair. Keep in mind, henna takes several days to oxidize, meaning that the final color may become darker in the days following henna application. Lighter hair types may need to do multiple applications to achieve a darker color. You cannot lighten hair with henna. Blonde henna will not bleach your hair.
Please read "How to Mix & Apply Light Blonde Henna," Step #1, to make Blonde Tea. You can brew a full 2 cups. You'll use only a few tablespoons for the test strands, so save leftover tea in the refrigerator for later use.
Take 1 tbsp Blonde Henna and mix with enough brewed Blonde Tea to get a yogurt-like consistency. Use only 1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice. You can mix it in a bowl or in a plastic bag.
Let this Blonde Henna mixture sit for 8-12 hours.
Put it in a plastic bag. Keep it on your person, in a pocket for instance, to include body heat as a factor in dye release. Leave in bag for 1-4 hours.
Rinse off henna from hair strands and inspect the color. Let it sit for 72 hours to get the most exact result. View test strand in artificial light and sunlight, as the color does change with the lighting.
Add the brewed Blonde Tea a little at a time while mixing, until it is the consistency of yogurt. The mixture should not drip from the spoon but should still be easily spreadable. You may not need all 2 cups of tea to achieve this.
After being a long time hair dye user, and wanting to find a more natural way to enhance my blonde hair and tone down some grey, the henna, mixed with Amla turned out great. It doesn’t lighten, but gives a more natural honey blonde tone while subtly enhancing highlights. I found it made my hair a little dry after, but deep conditioning helped. Also blended the greys as well.
I have been growing out over hi-lighted hair and was revealing some very white hairs in areas. I have now done this process 3 times as suggested and the line between processed and natural has blurred a lot. I am really pleased and I have no intention to go back to a chemical process. | 2019-04-20T10:45:19 | https://www.upayanaturals.com/Henna_Hair_Dye_Light_Blonde_4oz_128g_p/har-4600.htm |
Do you ever get so caught up in something, that even after the event or experience is over, you still dwell on it? It happened to me this weekend. I forgot to do something that I considered pretty important on Friday, and I let it bother me for the entire weekend. I knew that it was silly, what’s done is done, but I just couldn’t let it go.
I would of course forget about it when I was in my yoga class, or while I was walking my dog and listening to music. Then that little voice inside my head would remind me that I had made a “huge” mistake and shouldn’t be so relaxed about it. “What if” there is a negative consequence to my actions?
I am aware enough now that I can tell the little voice inside my head to shut up when it wants to completely take over my thoughts, but it still gets the best of me at times. I don’t like that nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach that I was feeling all weekend as I thought about my “boo boo”. I know that when I feel like that it is because my experiences aren’t a match to “who I really am”, which is a loving, prosperous, divinely connected being. When I remember that I am here to be happy, not to be stressed, I feel better and that annoying little voice quiets down. | 2019-04-22T12:43:55 | https://embraceurdestiny.com/2010/03/16/living-in-the-moment/ |

This week, Nick Hague looks at personal development and how focusing on your strengths, over your weaknesses, can lead to a greater return on investment.
We all know it is that time of year again when the dark nights are drawing in and travelling on the roads takes twice as long as it did during the month of August – yes, the summer break is over!
Just this week my son was recalling about some of the activities from the day before at school and I asked him what his favourite subject was? “Maths” he said without hesitation. Now this answer didn’t surprise me one bit (although it might to many for a 5 year old to mention such a thing) since he has always been obsessed by numbers since a very early age.
On reflection in my own personal life I can very much harmonise with this. I always struggled at Economics at A-level and so my parents spent much money on my tutoring. However, with all the time spent on improving my weakness it just made me a little bit better economist rather than focusing on my strengths and helping me shine in a more creative subject.
I think this is very typical of how we, as humans, think and act in life. Think about how we act in our daily business lives. When looking to better ourselves in our working environment; we are always looking to concentrate on improving our weaknesses to make ourselves a more rounded individual. However, my question to you is ‘why not ignore trying to improve our weaknesses and focus all our attention on building our strengths?’ – if Gordon Brown had not tried to remould himself as a smiling, more personable individual and concentrated on his strengths during the last election he may still be in power today.
By another way of example, I was watching football on TV this week and as time slipped away between Man United and Rangers I put myself in Sir Alex Ferguson’s shoes on how he would best enhance his team’s performance. Paul Scholes is one of the best players in the world when asked to deliver a 60 yard pass to precision but he cannot tackle to save his life. Would Sir Alex put Paul Scholes through his paces in training to improve his tackling so he can deploy him as a defensive midfielder, I don’t think so! Of course, he could practice some more on fixing his poorly timed tackles but as a result, he wouldn’t be concentrating on his strengths that could be used to unlock a tight defence. In other words, to fix weaknesses is not to lose but you definitely don’t win with that strategy!
From the above, is it any wonder that the new world order has shifted towards the East! I was curious to why this was so and so in speaking to some of my Chinese colleagues they rationalised that maybe it’s because there is over 1 billion people and if you want to stand out you need to win and not just compete.
So my argument to you in this week’s Thursday Night Insight is this – If you want to get a greater return on investment from either your staff or your customers, focus on what they/you do best. Then understand why that is so and then focusing more attention on these strengths will only act as a multiplier and deliver exponential growth and value to your organisation.
Therefore, the next time your boss questions you to find out the reasons why you have the level of customer churn you do, think before you act. Is it not best to speak with your loyal customers, ‘those that are likely to recommend your company and services to another colleague’ and find out what the reasons are these people are such ‘promoters’ to your company? I reason that this will deliver your organisaiton far more insight and result in greater change in the future than carrying out lapsed customer research.
Isn’t it time you went back to school and re-evaluated your way of thinking? | 2019-04-21T10:46:47 | https://www.b2binternational.com/2010/09/17/back-to-school/ |

I’ve come to enjoy these Top Ten lists at the end of the year, if for no other reason than that they save me from having to think up some new topic for a monthly column. But even if the topic is obvious, that doesn’t make these columns any easier to prepare. They require a good bit of study. As a long-time fan of professional bike racing, I have the greatest respect for the riders who ply that craft. In terms of maximum effort expended, day after day, over a long season…the gut-busting, lung-baking, leg-breaking challenge of cycling is hard to match. That’s why I revere the riders who do it, and that’s why I take these lists seriously.
To honor those hard-working riders, I work hard on my choices. I go back over the season and reacquaint myself with the results, from the first races in far-off places in late winter, through the rainy spring classics, through the grand tours and the one-week stage races, right up to the last races of fall and the Worlds. And this year we have the Olympics in the mix as well. I consider not just what they won but how they won. I have pages of scribbled notes in front of me as I write this. Other students of racing might quibble with my final list, but they can’t accuse me of being slackadaisical in my research and head-scratching.
It would be reasonable to debate my conclusions, or anyone else’s conclusions, this year. There was no one rider who dominated the entire season. There were three different winners in the three grand tours. There was no one sprinter who won consistently. Some of the most important classics of the year were won by riders whose names are not exactly household standards for bike fans…Arnaud Demare at Milano-San Remo and Matthew Hayman at Paris-Roubaix, for two examples. The season was wide open.
In some of my past annual lists, I’ve had trouble keeping it to a top ten. There seemed to be so many strong riders—or strong performances—that I was waffling around with as many as a baker’s dozen instead of ten, or breaking the sprinters out in their own mini-list. I didn’t have that problem this year. Quite the opposite: I was stumped (almost) to come up with ten riders who stood tall enough to be head and shoulders above the rest of the peloton. If you have a pessimistic turn of mind, you might say this is a sign of mediocrity all across the board. if you are more of an optimist, you will say this is a healthy sign of parity: that many excellent riders are training harder, with better support from their teams and staffs, etc. Also: perhaps no one is juiced on dope and riding like a superman. Or it could just be that this is the way it is right now: these are the riders we’ve got…good, bad, or somewhere in between.
10. Alexander Kristoff. 29, Norway, Team Katusha. If there was parity (or mediocrity) all across the board in cycling, that goes double for the hard boys who battle it out in the field sprints. All the most recent stalwarts were on the job this year, from Cavendish to Kittel, plus a few up-and-comers. But no one sprinter really cleaned the table. However, among that crop of almost-equal competitors, Kristoff stands just the tiniest bit taller. (I’m not counting Peter Sagan in this group. I will get to him later.) Kristoff won 12 times, although most of his sprint victories came in relatively minor events. He had several more top-ten results, and this consistency netted him the highest placing among the pure sprinters—7th—in the year-long UCI World Tour standings (again, not counting Sagan).
9. Romain Bardet. 26, France, AG2R La Mondiale. As far as I can tell, Bardet won only one race all year, but that was a big one: Stage 19 of the Tour de France. On a treacherous, rain-slick descent near the finish, while all the other contenders were either crashing or doing cautious damage control, he launched a balls-to-the-wall attack and then kept the hammer down on the final climb to win the stage and jump from 5th overall to 2nd, where he stayed until Paris. This sent the French press into raptures and earned him the uneasy crown as the Next Great French Hope. Aside from that one bright moment, he finished 2nd overall at the Tour of Oman, the Dauphiné, and the Giro dell’Emilia, and had seven other top-ten finishes. All of that earned him 6th place in the UCI standings. He’s only 26 and, according to folks who follow cycling more closely than I do, he has all the right tools to improve in the years ahead. So, unlike others on the long list of Next Great French Hopes—Thomas Voeckler, Pierre Rolland, Thibaut Pinot, etc—Bardet may inch up this list in the years ahead.
8. Alberto Contador. 33, Spain, Saxo Bank. Contador finished 8th in the UCI season standings and he’s 8th on my list. That’s quite a tumble down the ranks for this superstar, who was 1st on my list in 2014 and 2nd in 2015. But it was that kind of year for him. He won the Tour of the Basque Country and the Vuelta a Burgos, was 2nd at Paris-Nice and the Tour of Catalunya. And finally a battling, gutsy 4th at the Vuelta. He crashed early in the Tour de France and soldiered on in rather battered shape, finally withdrawing when a fever piled onto the war wounds to make it all too difficult. He was injured early in the Vuelta as well and struggled mightily to get that 4th place, just 13 seconds off the podium. Early this year he had suggested 2016 would be his last season, but no…he has signed up with a new team for 2017. I doubt he can come back to his former king-of-the-hill status, winning grand tours, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him a bit higher on this list a year from now.
7. Alejandro Valverde. 36, Spain, Movistar. I have something of a log jam for the middle positions on this list, from 7 up to 4. You could shuffle these four up or down and get no argument from me. Valverde had a good season but not quite as good as some of his other recent campaigns. He won the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon stage race, winning Stages 2 and 3. He won The Vuelta a Andalucia, taking out Stage 5. He won the presitgious spring classic La Fléche Wallone (again). He finished 3rd in his first-ever Giro and 6th at the Tour de France. He also worked his fanny off for team leader (and winner) Nairo Quintana at the Vuelta a España on his way to a respectable 12th place. His body of work this year added up to 5th in the UCI rankings. This list is not a lifetime achievement award. If it were, the entry for this old warhorse would run on and on. But I thought it worth mentioning that over the past 15 years of grand tours, he has stood on a podium nine times and has a total of 16 top tens.
6. Esteban Chaves. 26, Columbia, Orica-GreenEdge. Along with his countryman Quintana, Chaves is the only rider in 2016 to stand on two grand tour podiums: 2nd at the Giro—winning Stage 14—and 3rd at the Vuelta. He won the Giro dell’Emilia and capped off his season nicely with a snappy sprint win (out of a group of escapees) at the last monument of the season, the Giro di Lombardia. Like Bardet, he’s another young rider with a bright future. The biggest knock on him at this point: can’t time trial. Frankly, I can’t envision him becoming a demon against the clock, but if he can just improve a little, he may be a force to be reckoned with in future stage races.
5. Greg Van Avermaet. 31, Belgium, BMC. This may be the most surprising entry on this list, the guy we would not have expected to be here. But he had a season most riders would love to have. He won the prestigious, early-season stage race Tirreno-Adriatico, a slim one second ahead of Peter Sagan. To be fair, the queen stage of the tour was cancelled because of snow, and there were half a dozen better climbers behind both these classics riders who might have caught them in the hills. But hey, that’s racing. You play the cards you’re dealt. He caught the cycling world’s attention when he won Stage 5 at the Tour de France and donned the yellow jersey. He defended it with real panache through the next two stages. Very impressive. He finished a close second to Sagan at the Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec, then a few days later, turned the tables, winning the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal, just ahead of Sagan. He had four more firsts in lesser races and nine other top ten finishes, mostly in significant races. But the biggest feather in his cap this year was winning the road race at the Rio Olympics. All that good work left him ranked 3rd in the UCI World Tour standings.
4. Vincenzo Nibali. 32, Italy, Astana. Vinnie Nibali won the Giro d’Italia—as detailed in my race report—which earns him his place on this list, regardless of what else he did this year. And the fact is, he didn’t do much else. He won the Tour of Oman by winning the hilly Stage 4. He was part of Astana’s TTT win at the Giro del Trentino. He had a 4th and a 6th in two lesser stage races. And that’s it, pretty much. One could argue that such palmares do not make him the 4th best rider in the world in 2016. But the way he won the Giro—arguably one of the three most important cycling races of the year—was so dramatic, so charged with emotion and courage, that I am willing to cut him some slack on the rest of his season. Although still only 32, one wonders if he has any more major wins ahead of him. But after his back-from-the-dead victory in the Giro, it would be unwise to count him out completely.
3. Peter Sagan. 26, Slovakia, Tinkoff. Peter Sagan is a strange beast. A case could be made that he is the most talented and strongest bike rider alive today. He can duke it out with the best of the sprinters. He can hold his own in the cobbled classics. He can time trial. He can even climb…at least for short distances. Ah, but there is his Achilles Heel: at 6’ and 161 pounds, he is a bit too beefy to ever be a full-tilt stage race all-rounder. The monster ascents of the grand tours are just too much for him…at least at this point. Some speculate that if he shed 15 pounds and concentrated on his climbing, he might be able to manage the biggest tours. So far, he hasn’t been inclined to do that. But in the meantime, we get to enjoy him just as he is. He missed victory at Tirreno-Adriatico by one second. He won the spring classics Gent-Wevelgem and Flanders (one of the biggest prizes of any year). He won Stages 1 and 4 at the Tour of California to take the points jersey. He won Stages 1 and 2 at the Tour de Suisse. He won Stages 2, 11, and 16 at the Tour de France on his way to the points jersey. Finally, he defended his 2015 rainbow jersey by repeating as World Champion. All of that added up to being ranked #1 in the UCI standings, and it wasn’t even close. Chris Froome, Greg Van Avermaet, and Nairo Quintana had 3771, 3711, and 3568 points for places 2 through 4 in the standings. Sagan had 5359. Ouch! His Tinkoff team has disbanded, so he will be with a new team next year. Still only 26, who knows how good this kid might eventually become?
2. Nairo Quintana. 26, Colombia, Movistar. Quintana won the Vuelta a España in a closely fought battle with Chris Froome, as reported in my Vuelta write-up. But he was no one-trick pony. He had a sensational season. He won the Volta a Catalunya stage race, the Tour of Romandie, winning Stage 2, and the Route du Sud, winning the time trial. (That’s a significant item: he has been and still is somewhat vulnerable in time trials against the best all-rounders, but he’s getting better.) He was 3rd at the Tour of the Basque Country and the Tour de San Luis. Most notably, we was a somewhat lukewarm 3rd at the Tour de France, never really coming to grips with Chris Froome. But the way he dealt with Froome and the mighty Sky team at the Vuelta bodes well for the seasons ahead. He too is only 26. I doubt we’ve seen his best yet.
1. Chris Froome. 31, Britain, Team Sky. It was a close race between Froome and Quintana for the top spot on my list, but in the end, I feel comfortable rating Froomy #1 for the second year in a row. He won the Tour de France fairly convincingly—as I reported here—thanks in part to his powerful team and in part to his killer time-trialing: he won both ITTs. And whether you like it or not, the Tour is a bigger prize than either the Giro or the Vuelta. But as is the case with Quintana, Froome did more than just win one grand tour. He won the important Critérium du Dauphiné, including winning Stage 5. He won the Herald Sun Tour. He won Stage 4 of the Tour of Romandie and was 3rd in the Olympic time trial. He finished that oh-so-close second to Quintana in the Vuelta, winning three stages: a team time trial, the ITT and also Stage 11, a thrilling, mano-a-mano slugfest with Quintana. He finished 2nd in the UCI World Tour standings.
Froome and Quintana rule the roost right now, almost but not quite equal. It’s a fairly safe prediction to say the two of them will be going head to head for a few years yet, scrapping over the biggest prizes in the sport. Which other riders will join them in the biggest-of-all battles? That is not quite so easy to predict. | 2019-04-24T13:48:44 | http://bikecal.com/asp/columns-detail.asp?w=b&bRecNo=319 |
Four Austin-area garages vie to outbid one another for junk cars at auction, hoping to rebuild and soup up the vehicles in order to turn a quick profit. If it weren’t already called into question by the painfully stilted, clearly scripted sniping among the cast, the seeming “reality” of this series was further punctured by a 2014 lawsuit in which four actors hired to play employees of the garages by the show’s production company sued over unpaid wages.
We hear good things about Vince Young Steakhouse, but it’s hard to take the place seriously, knowing that it was once the home of seven strangers picked to live in a converted East Third Street warehouse, plied with unlimited alcohol, and encouraged to alternately hook up and fight with one another as cameras rolled. This 16th season of MTV’s reality show franchise is considered a fan favorite—understandably so, as there’s no shortage of drama among the housemates. The first episode alone ends with the cast involved in a drunken brawl on Dirty Sixth.
Your grandmother maybe told you about this CBS procedural starring Simon Baker as a fraudulent psychic named Patrick Jane who teams up with the California Bureau of Investigation after his wife and daughter are murdered by a serial killer. Jane finally gets his revenge in the eighth episode of the sixth season. His punishment for indulging in vigilante justice is banishment to work in the FBI’s backwater Austin office for the remainder of the show’s run. | 2019-04-24T23:35:15 | https://www.austinmonthly.com/AM/June-2017/The-Ultimate-Austin-Binge-Watch/index.php?cparticle=2&siarticle=1 |

Clearest and warmest conditions from December to February, but also dry (and colder) from July-September.
Climb slowly to increase your acclimatization time and maximize your chances of reaching the summit also to avoid altitude sickness, allow a minimum of five nights, preferably even more for the climb. Take your time and enjoy the beauty of the mountain.
Kilimanjaro is not only the highest peak in Africa but also the world's highest free standing, snow-covered equatorial mountain. It represents a towering yet powerful life force for the local Chagga people and all those who have made their lives around this mountain, providing rich volcanic soils for agriculture and an endless source of pure spring waters.Kilimanjaro is alsoreferred to as a mystery wreathed in clouds. Over 75,000 people climb Kilimanjaro per year so it is not the most remote mountain, neither is it the most arduous, but it is certainly a test of one’s abilities with altitude sickness being the main reason for climbers not to reach the summit.
It is one of the world's most accessible high summits, a beacon for visitors from around the world. Most climbers reach the crater rim with little more than a walking stick, proper clothing and determination. And those who reach Uhuru Point, the actual summit, or Gillman's Point on the lip of the crater, will have earned their climbing certificates and their memories.
But there is so much more to Kili than her summit. The ascent of the slopes is a virtual climatic world tour, from the tropics to the Arctic. There is much to do at Kili such as six usual trekking routes to the summit and other more-demanding mountaineering routes, day or overnight hikes on the Shira plateau. Nature trails on the lower reaches, trout fishing, visit the beautiful Chala Crater Lake on the mountain’s southeastern slopes.
Even before you cross the national park boundary (at the 2,700m contour), the cultivated foot slopes give way to lush montane forest, inhabited by elusive elephant, leopard, buffalo, the endangered Abbot’s duiker, and other small antelope and primates. Higher still lays the moorland zone, where a cover of giant heather is studded with otherworldly giant lobelias. Above 4,000m, a surreal alpine desert supports little life other than a few hardy mosses and lichen. Then, finally, the last vestigial vegetation gives way to a winter wonderland of ice and snow – and the magnificent beauty of the roof of the continent.
Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain that regular tourists can climb, although it remains a considerable feat of human endurance! The breathable oxygen at the top is less than half the amount than is common at sea level, and climbers cover at least eighty kilometers on nothing but their own two feet over the five days it takes to reach the top and return. | 2019-04-19T00:40:47 | https://www.restorationsafaris.com/kilimanjaro/ |
Katie Hall, center, celebrates on the podium following the 2018 Colorado Classic last summer in Denver. Hall's teammate, Leah Thomas, finished second in the four-stage professional cycling road race, and Abigail Mickey of Rally Cycling finished third.
Event organizers announced on Tuesday that beginning next summer, the, Colorado Classic will become a women’s-only event.
As such, it will be the sole exclusively-women’s stage-race cycling event in the western hemisphere on the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) calendar and on USA Cycling’s Pro Road Tour.
Event organizers hope the move will “raise the bar” for pro women’s cycling around the world.
Event organizers also announced that RPM Events Group LLC will offer “unprecedented” financial support to female athletes at the 2019 event, including a prize purse nearly four times the 2018 women’s purse and more than the men’s 2018 purse, along with stipends to support team travel and expenses.
The third annual Colorado Classic will be a 4-stage road race Aug. 22-25. The course and host communities have yet to be announced. | 2019-04-19T07:27:34 | https://www.summitdaily.com/news/sports/colorado-classic-becomes-women-only-cycling-race/ |
Pending legislation introduced by San Francisco Supervisor Fewer would amend the City’s laws to give certain qualified non-profit organizations certified by the City (“Qualified Nonprofits”) the first right to purchase multi-family rental properties and certain vacant lots in San Francisco.
The legislation applies to any residential building with at least three rental units or a vacant lot zoned for at least three units.
Sellers subject to the new law would be required to notify all Qualified Nonprofits of the intent to sell before putting a qualifying property on the market. Qualified Nonprofits would have five days to respond, triggering an obligation for the seller to provide information about building tenants. Qualified Nonprofits would then have an additional 25 days to make an offer to purchase the building. The seller could reject an offer made, and if no Qualified Nonprofit makes an offer, or if the seller rejects any Qualified Nonprofit offers, the seller could offer the building to the general public.
If a seller is prepared to accept an offer from a buyer other than a Qualified Nonprofit, then it would be required to give all of the Qualified Nonprofits the right of first refusal on the same terms and conditions and Qualified Nonprofits would have five days to accept or reject that offer (or 30 days if the seller is responding to an unsolicited offer).
Qualified Nonprofits would have the right to institute a civil action against any non-compliant sellers, with the potential for damages as specified in the legislation.
The legislation includes protection for existing tenants. It also requires that a property purchased by a Qualified Nonprofit remain rent restricted, meaning that the value of all rents paid in the building could not exceed 80 percent of Area Median Income (AMI) and the gross household income of new tenants could not exceed 120 percent of AMI.
Certain sales would be excluded, including but not limited to transfers made under a mortgage, deed of trust, or deed in lieu of foreclosure and transfers between certain family members.

The Best Things About Wearing A Dress!!!
There are several things to look forward to with the arrival of the warm season. But there are two that I am especially grateful for...longer days and shorter hemlines! Okay so I know there are other options (i.e, pants, shorts, etc) but here are the most AWESOME things about tossing on a dress everyday, if you so choose!
1. Dresses can easily be transformed from a day to night look.
2. Part of the Single Ladies Club? Not for long! Most men actually prefer to go out on a date with a woman who is wearing a dress or skirt.
3. Dresses gives the appearance that you did a little something extra. Throw on a dress the next time you are running late for an event and appear prepared and perfectly primped!
And my personal favorite...Dresses can conceal a tummy bulge when you had too many tacos or just having one of those days.
Why do you like to wear dresses? | 2019-04-24T06:50:37 | https://bluelabelsboutique.com/blogs/what-s-the-haps/13030181-the-best-things-about-wearing-a-dress |
When you have been injured in an automobile accident, the sooner you make the call and get a consultation with accident lawyers the better. Too many people are focused on getting better and worrying about getting legal help, only to find that by the time they call in the Burbank car accident attorney that many of the evidence has disappeared.
Here are some reasons to call a local lawyer as quickly as possible.
Even if you are laid up in the hospital right after your auto accident, it will take seconds to pick up the phone and get the Burbank car accident attorney on the case. They will come to your home, hospital bed, or anywhere you are laid up to consult and lay out their plan of attack for gathering key evidence to build a strong case. The attorney will send out their own team of accident investigators to the scene to take videotape, pictures, and key measurements to preserve the location in the event the case goes to trial. The team will follow-up with all eyewitnesses too.
Once you are out of the hospital, accident lawyers have access to the best physicians in their fields and will get you a second and third opinion, allowing these doctors to treat you and provide physical therapy to help you on the road to healing. Your attorney will consult with the doctors and gather all the evidence to begin putting together the case so they can determine a dollar amount that will provide for you for well into your later years.
The accident lawyers will present the offer to the other side and fight hard on your behalf to get you all the compensation you deserve. | 2019-04-18T21:12:33 | http://crashattorney.com/locations/burbank-car-accident-attorneys/ |

Ambiance Window Coverings of Omaha offers the finest selection of Hunter Douglas contemporary window treatments in Omaha, but even we know there’s more to great interior décor than just window treatments. It’s your personal style that informs the type of window treatments you’ll choose. A modern style calls for modern window coverings. Omaha homeowners who prefer a more traditional décor may opt for a more vintage look over modern curtains.
Omaha homeowners have so many styles to choose from, though, that you may be a little confused. Here’s a quick rundown of all the major styles to help you make your choice.
The Art Deco style is characterized by sleek, geometric shapes, rounded fronts, mirrored accents and lots of wood, chrome and glass.
Arts and Crafts décor is a vintage style that recalls the Roaring Twenties. It highlights simplicity and fine craftsmanship and is well-suited for Craftsman and Bungalow-style homes. This décor often has a rugged, natural feel.
As you might expect, the Asian style takes many decorative elements from the Far East, including bamboo, paper and ornamentally painted designs that may incorporate Asian characters. This style tends to exude tranquility and calm.
Bohemian is an artistic décor that reflects natural creativity, often with splashes of red and purple and characterized by bold patterns and vibrant colors. Tribal designs and other ethnic touches may also feature prominently in this decorative style.
Also known as Nautical or Seaside décor, this decorative style is meant to recall the beach and the ocean, with cool colors like blues and whites and furniture that recalls breezy beachfront living.
Contemporary design is a modern, streamlined style featuring sleek furniture that’s low to the ground but with exposed legs. Furniture is very basic in shape, with a minimum of detail, and the color scheme is largely made up of muted tones with some pops of color in key areas.
A rustic décor with muted tones and lots of wood paneling. Checked or striped vintage fabric patterns are common, as well as classic wood furniture, woven baskets and handmade pottery.
If you can’t settle on one décor, the Eclectic style is for you. It’s a little from each of the above styles and so on. Some old mixed with some new. There still needs to be some kind of cohesiveness to the design for it to work, however, so be sure to use complementary colors, patterns and textures.
This is a softer, and some might say more feminine, décor option that features floral patterns, lots of reds and pinks and finely crafted wood furniture and antiques throughout.
Farmhouse-style homes feature color schemes similar to the coastal style, with furniture made up of distressed wood and/or upholstered linen.
A rich decorative style featuring gold and bronze elements and heirloom furniture.
The Industrial style is characterized by open space and exposed, industrial-style materials like steel, brick and stone. Industrial-style spaces can come off as somewhat cold without some kind of warming element, like a colorful rug or statement lighting.
A style reminiscent of Coastal, with short furniture with ornate features and heavy, burnished hardware throughout. Terra Cotta, yellow and lavender color schemes are common.
Most commonly found in Mid-Century Modern homes, but suitable almost anywhere, this style that arose in the middle of the 20th century inspired some of the great masters of design. Natural shapes and finding the beauty in simplicity characterize this design.
A style borrowed from the Japanese and very popular in the 20th century, this style is characterized by the idea that less is more, and involves mostly black and white colors, simple furnishings and lots of space.
A Mid-Century Modern offshoot, the Scandinavian style is meant to recall the Nordic countries, so think lots of white along with comfortable fabrics like furs and wool, mixed with wood and glass.
The Traditional style is characterized by muted colors and fabrics, with 18th century English and 19th century French country furnishings.
A smooth mixing of the Traditional and Contemporary styles.
The Urban Modern style features large, but still sleek, furniture, artistic decorative accents and some Eclectic touches.
While a number of styles might be considered vintage in their own way, a truly Vintage decorating scheme is characterized by lots of antique and vintage furniture pieces. Not all pieces should be vintage, though. Enough modern pieces should be mixed in to give contrast to the vintage elements.
The Shabby Chic decorative style uses similar elements, with an even greater emphasis on the weathered and distressed look of the vintage furnishings.

Late in 2013, French DJ and producer extraordinaire, Laurent Garnier, decided on a plan to get his music reaching out to the very corners of the underground music scene. Rather than self-releasing, or opting for the tried and tested labels, Garnier decided to plump for a selection of independent record labels from different countries that he greatly respected and supported, each one with their own strong identity and fan base, and to go under the moniker ‘Garnier’ for these projects. Opening his account on Chicago’s Still Music in February 2014, with the ‘AF0490’ single, the electronic stalwart has since gone on to issue singles on Modeselektor’s 50 Weapons (‘AF4302’ EP), Musique Large (‘A13’) and the MCDE label (‘KL2036’ EP). A huge supporter of Hypercolour over the years, and perhaps an embracing of the British label’s dedication to the ‘UK sound’ (considering the Frenchman’s early deployment to Manchester’s legendary Hacienda club in the late 80s as resident DJ), it’s of little surprise then that the fifth Garnier project lands on Hypercolour this August.
I like how the the EP titles were based on the flights and roads he used to take to the city where the label is from.
AF 0490 on Still Music AF 0490 corresponds to Air France flight from Paris to Chicago regularly used by Laurent Garnier.
A13 on Musique Large A13 corresponds to the French Highway No. 13 on the route to England that was regularly used by Laurent Garnier when he was younger and lived in Paris.
AF 4302 on 50Weapons AF 4302 corresponds to Air France flight from Marseille to Berlin regularly used by Laurent Garnier.
KL 2036 EP on MCDE KL 2036 corresponds to KLM flight from Marseille to Amsterdam regularly used by Laurent Garnier.
BA371 on Hypercolour BA371 corresponds to British Airways flight from Marseille to London regularly used by Laurent Garnier.
Actually, the concluding EP for this project was released in 2015 with the self explanatory title Honey I’m Home! on his own F Communications, released first as part of his La Home Box Limited Box Set.
My favorite release from this series is the first one, AF 0490 on Still Music, where he raided his Dance Mania collection sampling Chip Dilla, Deeon, Gant-Man and Parris Mitchell. | 2019-04-26T15:44:26 | http://www.thefantastix.com/archive/laurent-garniers-2014-project/ |

To be sure, confusions abound and opinions often escalate into fiery debates with regard to the issue of apostleship. My aims in this article are to survey two of the primary modern viewpoints (the first of which is not so modern, but is still prevalent today), to consider objections to modern apostleship and distortions to modern apostleship claims, and to offer what I believe to be a view of apostleship that is grounded in Scripture and is therefore indispensable to the life and mission of the Church today.
So, the cat’s out of the bag. I am convinced that apostleship is meant by the ascended Lord to be an ongoing ministry in our day— indeed, an ongoing ministry until the “Apostle and High Priest of our confession” returns. What this means may be surprising to some of you, but if you give thoughtful consideration to what I’m presenting here, you will find that none of the ideas I hold forth are either novel or extra-biblical. I am convinced that apostleship is indispensable chiefly because I hold to “Sola Scriptura”, not in spite of my reverence for and conviction in the inerrancy and sufficiency of Scripture.
This raises a host of questions from various angles, of course, and I haven’t the time here to raise and address all of them. Let me focus on what I believe to be the two primary errors when it comes to addressing the issue of apostleship.
The Cessationist view, specifically with regard to apostleship (usually including a view that prophets too have ceased to be), is the view that with the death of John the Apostle, or more commonly, with the closing of the Canon of Scripture, there was no longer a need for apostles, as their primary role was to unfold the mystery of the Gospel in an authoritative sense. In their view, the mystery had now been disclosed (which is true according to Rom. 16.25), the Scriptures had been written, and since this was the primary role of the apostles, none were any longer needed for the ongoing mission of the Church. I agree with the first part of that statement (that Scripture-writing apostles had an authority unique to themselves in relation to the first post-resurrection, post-Pentecost proclamation of the Gospel), but differ with the last part (that apostleship ceased altogether with the completion of the canon), as we will see.
I have some sympathies with those who hold to this view, though in the last analysis I find it to be unbiblical. My sympathies lie not in an agreement with the view itself, but with the fact that it is often held by brothers and sisters who are concerned to hold to the supremacy and uniqueness of Biblical revelation. Their fear of present-day apostles (and prophets) often issues from a high view of the Bible, coupled with the assumption is that the apostolic ministry is a foundational revelatory ministry. If claims of modern apostleship are made, so might there be claims of new revelations which are not in keeping with the testimony of Scripture. I understand that fear, and while I believe it is misguided for many reasons, I commend them for being jealous to guard the truth of the Word. This leads us to some of their objections to present-day apostleship. For brevity’s sake, I’ll give a few short thoughts in response to each one.
I don’t believe the writing of Scripture was ever meant to be definitive of apostleship or exclusive to apostleship. There is much I could say on this point, but here are some reasons why this point is erroneous, if even well-intended.
a. Not all apostles wrote Scripture. In fact, most of the apostles named in the NT didn’t write Scripture. Only a few of the original 12 wrote Scripture, and of the other 10 names associated with apostleship in the NT, only a few were given that authoritative role.
b. Not all the authors of Scripture were apostles (nor were the remainder all prophets). This is glaringly obvious when we survey the whole of the Bible.
I needn’t belabor this point. There is no way to make a case from the Bible that biblical authorship was either definitive or exclusive to the role of apostleship. Simply put, some apostles were chosen and uniquely empowered by God to write some of the books in the Bible, but not all apostles were given this task, and the majority of the men chosen by God as instruments for the penning of Scripture were not themselves apostles. We conclude confidently that the authorship of Scripture was neither definitive nor exclusive to the role of apostleship.
a. Within the NT text itself, there are at least 10 men besides the 12 directly called ‘apostles’ or named amongst the company of apostles (c.f. Acts 1.26, 14.14; Gal. 1.19; 1 Cor. 4.6, 9; Rom. 16.7; 1 Thess. 1.1, 2.6; Phil. 2.25). Even if you seek to argue that some of these were comrades of the apostles but not really apostles, you cannot make that case for all of them, as many of them are explicitly called apostles in the texts provided. There is no sound hermeneutical approach, no commendable exegesis of these texts which would lead us to conclude that some, if not all of the names mentioned herein were not known as apostles in the early church.
b. Ephesians 4.11ff never specifies that the work of the apostles and prophets will only continue in the sense that their Biblical testimony is foundational for the Church. Is it foundational? Without question. Any deviation from the Biblical prophets and apostles should be feared and counted as error. But nowhere does the text teach or even imply in the slightest sense that the ongoing equipping and upbuilding of the church is the work of pastors, evangelists, and teachers only.
It is an acrobatic feat of interpretation (not without some sleight of hand) to pluck apostles and prophets out from this text, or to define them as first-century ministries, while the other ministries are to be ongoing.
I understand why many have concluded this, and I sympathize with the well-meaning intention to maintain a high-view of Scripture, but I think it eventuates in a diminishing of the Bible at the end of the day. It is a twisted exposition of Eph. 4.11 and other Biblical texts regarding apostleship. Often this is done unconsciously or because of theological traditions that go back many centuries. Nonetheless, a poor interpretation of Scripture and the elevation of opinions and extra-biblical traditions is the antithesis of a high-view of the Bible, not the reverse.
It should also be noted that none of the apostles, even the ones who wrote Scripture, were in and of themselves immune to error or short-sightedness. None of the them were Jesus. It is the Scriptures that are infallible, not the men who were used of God to write them. Even within the Scripture itself, we see occasional disagreements amongst the apostles. These do not prove the fallibility of the Bible, but rather the fallibility of all men. Our faith is in God and His Word, not in the apostles as men.
c. Paul speaks about false apostles in his epistles (1 and 2 Cor. especially), and Jesus commends the church in Ephesus for finding false apostles to be false. Why does this speak to ongoing apostleship? Because the ground of their falsehood was not as it is modernly claimed, that, “No other apostles besides the 12 and Paul were meant to be given to the Church.” Rather, the ground of their falsehood was their lack of Christ-likeness, their poor doctrine, their lack of true servanthood, their poor grasp of the Gospel, and on and on.
In other words, they were disqualified from being counted as apostles because they had not been shaped and sent by the Lord in a manner which pleased His heart and was in keeping with His word. The fact that there were false apostles meant that there ought to be true sent ones, and there is no biblical reason to assume that this ought not to be the case today. There are fakers today, and the need for true apostles is of paramount import still.
Along with 15:8 this question establishes two things: (a) Paul believed that his experience on the Damascus road was more than a mere vision. For him it was a resurrection appearance of a kind with all the others—to be sure, after the ascension and therefore out of due season (15:3–8). (b) But since others who saw the Risen Lord did not become apostles, what most likely legitimized his apostleship was the accompanying commissioning. Although he does not say so here, in Gal. 1:16 the revelation of the Son of God is accompanied by its purpose, “that I might preach him among the Gentiles” (cf. 15:8–11, where the resurrection appearance is followed by discussion of his apostleship).
Fee, G. D. (1987). The First Epistle to the Corinthians (p. 395). Grand Rapids, MI: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.
In other words, the qualification for apostleship came with the Christophany, it wasn’t the Christophany itself. It was rather, that when the Lord appeared to him He simultaneously commissioned him as an apostle. This is an important observation, and distinguishes Paul’s encounter with the risen Lord from the encounters of other believers who never entered the apostolate.
e. Lastly, in connection to the above point, let us think about 1 Cor. 9.1. It is often said that since Paul had “seen the Lord”, a Christophany was required for one to be called as an apostle. 1 Cor. 15.3-11 may seem to contain an even stronger argument for this idea. The 12 had seen the risen Lord, and Paul encountered Him on the road to Damascus, and later while praying in the temple. Many conclude from this that a visible/audible encounter with Jesus is a qualification for apostleship. Is that what Paul was saying? I don’t believe so.
Paul’s point here is not to give a list of qualifications for apostleship, but to defend his apostleship for the sake of building up the Body of believers at Corinth. He is not saying, “All apostles must have visibly seen the risen Christ.” In any case, though the 12 all saw him, and some of the other apostles in the NT may have been present when the 500 witnessed the ascension, we have no record of them seeing Christ in this way for certain. Nor does the Book of Acts or the other Epistles mention a Christophany as a qualification for apostleship.
The primary point of 1 Cor. 15.3-11 is indeed the supremacy of the Gospel and the reality of Christ’s resurrection, for which reason I believe he’s mentioning all of those who saw the Lord in His resurrected state. One more reason I don’t think Paul was putting forth a Christophany as a qualification for apostleship is that Paul was not the last apostle called and sent in the NT, but he does say, “last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared also to me.” Some of the apostles mentioned in the texts above were not only called after Paul, a few of them were even led to the Lord and discipled by Paul. Timothy and Titus being a few examples.
Not only that, but Paul mentions the 500 others who saw them, the vast majority of which probably never became apostles. At least we have no record of them all being sent in the apostolic sense. Was Paul’s main point that apostles must have a Christophany, or that Christ in fact had risen from the dead, and that there were many witnesses to the fact? I believe it is the latter, even though the second half of the text mentioned does touch on Paul’s apostleship.
In other words, true apostles will preach the Gospel, make disciples, and plant and nurture churches. Their seal of approval is seen in the churches which grow out of their planting and watering. God gives the increase, and the fruit of the Spirit vindicates the authenticity of the apostle.
Many may claim to have Christophanic experiences, and they have throughout Church history. Some of them are true, I believe, but many (I would assume most) of them are false. But you cannot fake the establishment and growing in grace of a family of believers, who previously were bound in darkness, sin and idolatry, and who through the faithful preaching of the Gospel are now serving the living God, growing in holiness and humility, treasuring and obeying the Scriptures, and above all the Christ of Scripture.
Much more could be said of the Cessasionist view, but that will have to suffice for now. Let us look to another erroneous and rather widespread view regarding modern-day apostleship.
I have already written much more than intended, so I’ll be as terse as possible here. You can find out more about this online or through a number of publications, though I must say, these are rather shark-infested waters.
On the one hand, much of what you’ll see from the so-called “N.A.R.” (and spin-offs from it) will be troubling, and in my estimation, it should be troubling to us. On the other hand, many who seek to criticize modern-charismatic emphases on apostleship often do so in venomous, slanderous ways, usually smearing all charismatic believers into the mix with leaders and teachings that the whole lump of Pentecostal/Charismatic churches wouldn’t be in harmony with.
It is a task quite daunting to wrap your mind around this, and in some ways it is impossible to know the whole and unprofitable to spend too much time on it. There are so many variations and streams that fall in this category that we must be careful not to caricature or misrepresent true brothers and sisters in our pilgrimage for truth. This is crucial, for there are many faithful Pentecostal/Charismatic men and women of God all over the world, many of whom have suffered greatly for the faith, and have led many sons to glory. It is an error to lump the Pentecostal/Charismatic church in with the false apostleship we’re speaking of, even though most of those who claim apostleship are found within P/C churches and movements, generally speaking. There are likely a great host of servants in the nations who are continuationists, most of whom will never be known on the popular level, whose ministries are very much in keeping with true apostleship in terms of their character, their suffering, their doctrine, and their fruit. This must be acknowledged as we think about the aberrations.
That said, let me note just a few of the erroneous assumptions that have been espoused, especially over the last 20 years or so under the auspices of C. Peter Wagner and his colleagues. I name him here not to demean him, but to say that since his books and teachings were quite public and influential, the errors which sprung from them need to be addressed rather than ignored. It is an unfortunate thing that many Charismatic leaders have been unwilling to address these things, but I am convinced that many false claims to apostleship have been made as a result of these teachings, and the subject is too precious in Scripture for us to permit these distortions.
Within the N.A.R., apostles came to be defined as men (and women) with remarkable organizational gifting, often smacking of a Bill Gates type of leader- one with outstanding abilities to influence and build large ministries. It was even claimed from time to time that men like Steve Jobs had an apostolic calling, but failed to fulfill it because they did not follow the Lord. This is an unbiblical idea. Our giftings in the Church are Spiritual- and unregenerate men cannot have them.
Certain leaders were branded “apostolic overseers” of a whole cluster of churches or ministries, especially as they were gifted to execute things administratively. Portions of Paul’s epistles were cherry-picked to affirm this, often devoid of their real meaning and context, and these men were seen as problem-solvers, movers and shakers, and this came to define apostleship within the movement. The NT idea of a gospel-grounded, relationally-oriented, sacrificial servant-apostle was scarcely emphasized, and an unbiblical model emerged. I am sure that there were exceptions to this within the movement, but by and large this seemed to be the flavor of things.
One would be hard-pressed to assume that Paul the apostle, the prototypical “sent one” to the Gentiles, was anywhere nearly as impressive as these figures. 2 Cor. 10 bears this out in no uncertain terms. His strength was in the weakness of his features and skills, in many ways, God’s power being perfected and magnified through his weakness and his sufferings. The fragrance of worldly success is not the “fragrance of Christ,” which is marked by humility and holiness, godly sorrow and joy unspeakable.
I find no pleasure in digging this one up, in fact it pains me, but I find it necessary to address. The stakes are too high to leave it ambiguous.
It became common within this movement to speak of “apostolic alignment”, the process by which Dr. Wagner and others of his company would “align” other ministries with themselves, appointing them as new apostles, prophets, or influencers of other kinds, through the laying on of hands. It is Biblical for men to be appointed to different roles of leadership by the Church through the laying on of hands, but within the N.A.R. this happened on rather unbiblical and unreal grounds.
This display, on a wide public platform, could only be seen as destructive and false, and the usage of “apostolic” language only served to make it all the more tragic. This kind of “Apostolic alignment” is a “Saul before the David,” an Ishmael rather than an Isaac, and as much as the N.A.R. might have cried for it to live, it cannot live as something pleasing unto God. However much the language of “apostolic” is used, it is by its very nature the antitheses of New Testament Apostolicity, which is characterized by a radical jealousy for the Name of God, a deep-seated submission to the Scriptures, a profound love for the Body of Christ, and a fatherly/brotherly kind relatedness to all who are appointed to various roles of leadership within the Church.
Too much goes on without being “in the light” in these kinds of ceremonies. It might be said that it’s more akin to Bill Gates appointing a new regional director at Microsoft than it is to the healthy appointing of a leader in the church. In fact, it may be even less accountable and honest in certain ways. This should not lead us to demonize others, but rather to tremble at the manner in which we are relating to one another, and the way in which we are appointing leaders.
The aftermath of the Lakeland incident was tragic and multi-layered, but it is not uncommon (though often much less public) in such circles.
These examples ought to be enough to compel us to look for light from the Scriptures. Wagner was, after all, correct in concluding that there ought to be (and are) apostles in the Church and in missions today. In fact, he was right about many things. But the errors which came out of this movement are more grave than we can perceive, and a humble and prayerful return to Scripture is our only hope of recovery.
For the last section of this article, I would like to focus on the Meaning, Purpose, and Indispensability of Apostleship.
If we would rightly grasp the meaning apostleship according to the Scriptures, I suggest that our understanding of it must be both de-mystified and sanctified.
This speaks primarily to the cessationist view of apostleship, and its ripple-effects throughout church history.
The apostles of the NT were not super-heroes, nor were they elite saints whose role it was to write the Holy Bible. As noted above, some of them did write some of Scripture, but this was not their role as a whole. We need to be freed from Romish influences which Popify Peter and posterize Paul. These issue from a low view of the Gospel.
These men are our brothers. They were redeemed sinners who were still being sanctified throughout the time that the Book of Acts events transpired on beyond that. The Lord laid His hand upon them, shaped and sent them, but they remained men— trophies of grace, not icons to memorialize. Peter and John as well as Paul and Barnabus charged their would-be worshippers not to exalt them, “for we are only men like you.” Of course, the original twelve had a unique kind of apostleship (Mt. 19 bears this out), and the authority to write Scripture does not continue today. Any claim to apostleship that includes new Scripture being written is patently false. But even among false apostles today, the claim to this authority is few and far between.
We would not claim to worship the apostles, but we have mystified their lives, as if they were saints of a higher class. In fact, they were not. They may have been more Christ-like than us, but the possibilities of grace were not confined to them. The same Gospel which saved them has saved us, and the same Spirit which sanctified them is yet sanctifying us. This is one of the main points of NT apostolic teaching. The apostles meant for us to follow in their train, not to exalt them as ends in themselves. We are to look upon them, and seeing through them, to behold the One who means to conform the whole of the Church to His image.
The Canon of Scripture is superior in perfection and authority to all else that is taught in Church history, but again, it’s authorship is not exclusive to the role of apostleship. The Biblical Gospel is the authoritative Gospel, whether it came through Paul the apostle or Isaiah the prophet, or Luke the Physician.
The apostles of Scripture were not to be seen as the source, but rather to be seen as those who were ever pointing to the Source, serving as an example to the saints in character and doctrine, and a specific example in role to apostolic servants/missionaries in every generation. We must de-mystify them in this sense. We cannot “follow Paul as he follows Christ” if we think that he was built of better dust than we.
No, Paul’s dust was the same as ours and his Christ is the same Christ as ours, so long as we are submitted to the Scriptures and drinking of the same Spirit. The “chief of sinners” was a precious servant of Christ, shaped by the grace of God, and held forth as a pattern for us, not as an ivory-tower monument, untouchable and unreachable. Let us not belittle the grace of God by mystifying who the apostles were.
This speaks more to those who would claim that apostles are for today, but whose view of apostleship is not in keeping with the picture laid forth in the Scriptures. Of course, this applies to the cessationist view as well, as all of our false assumptions regarding apostleship need to be purged and brought back to the foundational ground of Scripture.
I address here the more charismatic views because I believe that the word “apostle” has been cheapened and made too common by their claims. While I’m eager not to explain apostleship as something that has ceased, or something that is so elevated that we could never think of its recovery in our day, I’m equally leery of the cheapening effect that false claims to apostleship have had on the church and its mission.
We must return to understanding apostleship in accordance with the example we see in the New Testament. Therefore, unless we are basically gripped with and grounded by a Biblical vision of apostleship (and we all “see in part” on this), our view must be “made holy” or sanctified, that we might rightly pray for and equip sent ones with the help of the Scriptures and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Simply put, along with prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, apostles were given by Christ to equip the saints for the work of service, and to build up the Body of Jesus in the nations.
They are sent to proclaim the Gospel where it has been named and where it has not been named (Acts 2, Rom. 15), to make disciples (Mt. 28), to impart spiritual gifts (Rom. 1, 2 Tim. 1), to plant and nurture churches (Acts 20, 2 Cor. 11.28), to appoint elders (Acts 14.23), and to do this in an ongoing manner until the fullness of Christ characterizes the Church and every people group has been penetrated with the light of the Gospel (Mt. 24.14).
Apostleship is synonymous with true missionary work. Missions work that is devoid of the character, doctrine, and ways of NT apostleship is by definition non-missional. Claims to apostleship that are not in keeping with the missionary labors of the NT apostles are by definition sub-apostolic.
Apostles and Missionaries, from a biblical vantage point, are one and the same (a study of the Greek and Latin from which we derive “apostle” and “missionary” reveals this). Many have claimed apostleship cheaply, and others have claimed to be missionaries with little or no apostolic character. We cannot settle for this, saints. We must de-mystify and sanctify the meaning of apostleship/missions with the help of the Scriptures.
I could say much more along these lines, and I aim to do just that in my forthcoming book “Grace and Apostleship: Gleanings from Paul’s Missionary Vision”. But this will have to suffice for now.
In light of these things it should be seen that apostleship is indispensable to the fulfillment of the Great Commission, which is the establishing and building up of local churches amongst every tribe and tongue.
Is apostolic ministry indispensable? Is it needed today?
It is to our detriment that we glide indifferently over the surface of any Biblical text, rather than pausing before it with reverent expectation. The Word is “living and active,” and we need to wait upon it prayerfully, lest we miss out on the sustenance it provides.
Paul had been fastened to a “heavenly vision”; bound to a living message; chained to the Lion of Judah, and he had no desire to be freed from that glorious imprisonment. This is precisely the reason why apostolic servants are foundational to the faith of the Church. They have been formed at the hand of the Potter and thrust into the nations as ambassadors of His own character and wisdom. But we need to be cognizant of the fact that the apostolic call was not given to make Paul into an aloof figure in an ivory tower. His foundational role was meant to bring all who are “saints by calling” into the same kind of communion and inward abandonment that was his own portion.
Seeing through an apostolic lens, Paul envisaged himself as being in chains for the Gospel (Eph. 6.20), for the “hope of Israel” (Acts 28.20), for Jesus Christ Himself (2 Tim. 2.8-9).
Secret communion becomes for us a “joy unspeakable,” and intercessory engagement becomes our most cherished labor when we are inwardly abandoned to Jesus Christ. Paul was intimately acquainted with this reality, and if a display of the “manifold wisdom of God” would come through the Church in these last days, so also must we be.
“Am I fulfilling this ministry of the interior? There is no snare, or any danger of infatuation or pride in intercession, it is a hidden ministry that brings forth fruit whereby the Father is glorified. Am I allowing my spiritual life to be frittered away, or am I bringing it all to one centre- the Atonement of my Lord? Is Jesus Christ more and more dominating every interest in my life? If the one central point, the great exerting influence in my life, is the Atonement of the Lord, then every phase of my life will bear fruit for Him.
We are not to gauge our spirituality through endless cycles of human assessment. The examination of our faith which Paul encourages has only to do with discerning whether or not we are “living, moving, and having our being” on the ground of the Atonement. That is to ask, “What is the character of my interior life?” Am I abiding in His life? Am I weighed down with the cares of this world, or am I living inwardly as a “bond-servant” of Jesus Christ? Am I itching to find approval from men, or is the Lord Himself the one “before Whom I stand”? Am I frivolous and distracted by the synthetic lights of this age, or am I walking tenderly as one pierced by the life which is “the Light of men”?
Setting aside my public persona and what others might think of me religiously speaking, what is the true character and content of my interior life? Is it a messy, narcissistic conglomeration, or a clear, well-grounded abiding in the Life of the Lamb that was slain? By the grace of God, Paul’s interior life was the latter, and such is the Lord’s desire for the whole of His house.
In Psalm 73 the psalmist recounts how he had broken his brain over an inward conflict regarding the reason things seem to go so smoothly for others (in this case the wealthy), while his life seems to be marked by trial and heartache.
Whenever we get entangled in the cycle of examining things we cannot understand, our souls are subjected to all kinds of confusion and grief. This is especially true when we fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others. It is a “wearisome task,” most often centered around things we cannot rectify on the basis of our own wisdom or within the sphere of our own authority to change them.
This “wearisome” cycle will continue for us, as it did for the psalmist, “until” we enter “the sanctuary of God.” That is to say, clarity and wisdom can only be found when we learn to turn to the Lord, and to find our refuge in the shadow of His providence and grace, the place where He dwells.
For the New Covenant child of God, this “sanctuary” is most often found to be in one of two places.
This is the place where we go to meet with Him— to give ourselves to prayer, worship, and a humble, hungry and hopeful reading of the Scriptures. If we neglect this place, we can be sure that “wearisome” musings will be our portion, for in that neglect we rob ourselves of the reward which the Father gives only in this place- the reward of knowing Him, hearing Him, seeing Him, and obtaining the grace to treasure and obey Him.
This is the place wherein we meet Him in the faces of our brothers and sisters. Here we “submit to one another out of reverence for Christ,” and are subsequently helped to think better about our plight— not in the “wearisome” cycle of self-absorbed reflection, but in the grace of fellowship, by which we’re pointed God-ward through the felt presence our brothers and sisters— reminded of truth, encouraged in faith, provoked to love and good deeds. Neglecting this place leaves us to ourselves, robs us of the warmth of familial reality and identity, and leaves us thinking myopically, as if the world revolves around us and all its maladies are to be experienced alone. The psalmist knew something of this congregational grace in the ancient tabernacle where he gathered with his brethren, and we may know it all the sweeter in New Covenant fellowship.
In the the sanctuary of God we find true guidance and rest, even while the world— even much of the professing Christian world— goes on running amuck around us.
In the secret place, and in real fellowship with the people of God, we find “counsel” and Gospel-hope. We are grounded upon the truth that He is with us in the present trial, that He is conforming us to the image of the Son, and that He will finish that good work when, at the end of the age, He receives us “to glory.” The secret-place-sanctuary, coupled with the congregational-sanctuary, is meant to lead us to the place wherein we cherish, love, and worship God supremely. Here we find solid ground beneath our feet again, when Christ is perceived afresh as our foundation for walking, and our fountain for drinking.
You who would be freed from the suffocating cycle of self-consciousness and bewilderment; you who would be grounded upon the Rock of your salvation; you who would see your plight as God sees it, rather than as the world sees it; you who would be near to God and have Him as your portion; you who would bear witness to the Person and work of Jesus Christ, enter “the sanctuary of God.” Meet with Him in the secret place, and meet Him in and alongside His people. There is no other way.
There is a remarkable “Therefore” in this text. It communicates to us the truth that all true fellowship within the context of the Church must be grounded upon “Jesus Christ and Him crucified,” that is, it must be based upon Gospel faith and hope. There is no other foundation for church or ministry, and in truth, one which seeks to build on any other foundation will be building in vain. However much he might be able to accomplish noble things of one kind or another, he will not be building the church nor carrying out the Great Commission. Let us look into this.
Therefore, our justification, sanctification, and glorification have been purchased by Him, for the glory of the Father and the good of those whom He has chosen. This establishes the promised reality, that we have been destined in Christ to “obtain salvation.” This is the glorious word of the Gospel. In Christ we have been saved from the wrath to come, saved from the stranglehold of Satan, saved from our iniquity and the deadness it constitutes. In Christ also we are being saved from ourselves and from the affects of the Fall, as He does the good work of conforming us to the image of His Son. And one day, we shall be saved utterly from the very presence of sin, from the Adamic residue which remains in us so long as we abide in these perishing tents of flesh.
We are “members” of that justified, yet being sanctified, and yet to be glorified family. See one another in that way, the apostle would say, and encourage one another because of it.
The capstone to the Gospel promise is that “whether we are awake or asleep we might live with Him.” That is to say, whether we are alive in this age, “absent from the Body” and “present with the Lord,” or enjoying the fulfillment of the promise in new bodies at the end of the age, we now “live with Him” because of the fact that He has not destined us for wrath, but rather for salvation.
Put another way, the goal in Christ of our not being “destined for wrath” is that we would become the servants, friends, and children of God. We may live with the One who is faithful and true. We may have real knowledge of Him, real communion with Him, and real life with Him, from the moment of our new birth, all the way into eternity future. This is an ineffably wonderful truth, and it ought to change the way that we see and treat one another.
This means that the saints in our local assembly cannot grow up into Christ without us, and we cannot grow up into Christ without them. We need the life, wisdom, accountability, encouragement, and familial consistency which can only be provided in the life of the local church, when all the parts supply what they ought to supply.
Think upon these things, and pray for the grace and wisdom to obey the Scriptures by responding accordingly. This may require a fresh return to the ancient foundation of the faith, and it is likely to restructure your schedule, your priorities, and your affections. And it will be worth it in every regard.
In Paul’s pleading with the Corinthian saints in this passage, we are supplied with a glimpse into the very heart of Jesus Christ for the Church with regard to Gospel-grounded fellowship. He pleads with them as a father would to stiff-arming children, yet the gravity of the wall which separated them from him is of even greater seriousness than the earthly example.
When a man is not grounded upon the foundation of “Jesus Christ, and Him crucified,” when the Gospel is not at the heart of his view of himself, when he finds identity in his ministry (“that demons are subject to you in My Name”) rather than in the sonship which issues from the Atonement (“that your names are written in heaven”), he cannot know this kind of “free speaking.” All his speaking, even in a Christian setting, will be fatally mingled with selfish-ambition, self-exaltation, self-consciousness; he will be aiming, in one way or another, to “save his life,” rather than being free to “lose his life” for Jesus’s sake, and for the “sake of the elect.” A man in that condition may be a child of God, but he should not be appointed a pastor, nor a pioneer missionary.
This kind of speech was possible because their hearts were “wide open” to the saints. They had nothing to prove, nothing to manipulate, nothing to prop up in hopes of maintaining the appearance of a reputation which didn’t match their true character. They had died to the ambition of establishing anything on the basis of human agenda. They saw themselves as servants who were called to “plant” and “water” in the fields of harvest, that God Himself might give the increase as it pleased His heart.
Paul was jealous to convey to the saints that he was not putting up any walls between his own heart and theirs. He had spoken freely with an open and vulnerable heart, and what they saw in him, if they were seeing rightly, was what he truly was in Christ. He was the genuine article, a man walking circumspectly before God, pouring out his life as a drink offering for the glory of the Lamb and upbuilding of His people. Therefore, his heart was wide open to the saints.
His grief in this passage is that the Corinthian saints were “restricted” from the same kind of liberty that he was enjoying and seeking to nurture in them. Their relationships one to another were strained, their view of Christ was warped, their doctrine was decaying, and this was evidenced by many maladies, not the least of which was their inability to see him by the Spirit. They were relating to him on the basis of flesh, and the blessing that they should be receiving from Christ through his apostolic labors was being hindered.
They were not restricted by him or his co-laborers, but rather in their “own affections.” A hardening had taken place in their view of the Body of Christ, a calcification of fellowship, and the warmth of simplicity and purity in relationship to one another had cooled. They were “restricted” in their affections for the apostle, and this meant that their love for Christ too was being suffocated.
Paul was not concerned about this restriction out of embarrassment for a potential failing ministry, but as a spiritual father for his children in the faith. His desire was for their liberty in Christ; that they should not be enchained by the wisdom of the world which restricts the fluidity of “wide open” fellowship with the Lord and with His people. He knew that if walls were being erected between the apostle and the saints, so were they being erected between the saints and their God.
He was not a distant religionist, but a servant of Christ for their sakes, so he refused to make peace with the presence of a closed-hearted brand of fellowship. That kind of restricted fellowship was distinctly un-Christian, for it lacked the vibrancy and character which Gospel-light provides. It left the Corinthian saints to a jagged kind of relating to him and to one another, a worldly kind of relationship, one by which every man looks to his own preferences and wants, rather than to the glory of God and the eternal good of the brethren.
What shall we gather from this for our own lives and ministries? Can it be said that we know what it is to “speak freely” and to relate to one another with widened hearts? Are we growing in the grace of this kind of fellowship, or are we living as strangers, passing one another week by week, cordially “exchanging glances”, but incapable of speaking freely one with another? Are our fellowships and ministries marked mainly by cultural conversation, casual and cost-less commitment to one another, secret suspicions and jealousies, leaving us in a state of being by which we are leery of widening our hearts for fear of rejection?
What is the temperature and quality of our fellowship? Is it warm, full of light, “wide open” in Christ, or is it clinical and culturally tempered— more catered to self-preservation and driven by a man-pleasing spirit?
May we receive from the Lord the same kind of passion for His house, and respond accordingly.
Lord, free us from cultural Christianity, which may look proper and even seemingly Biblical on the surface, but is marked by a regarding of one another according to the flesh, a speech that is devoid of Gospel-freedom, and a kind of faulty fellowship which is experienced in a drab way, without widened hearts. Teach us to walk circumspectly before You, to draw wisdom and life from the Scriptures, to be filled with and to “keep in step with the Spirit,” and to “widen our hearts” one to another for the glory of Your Name and the building up of your Body. Surely the world is languishing in the wilderness of closed-heartedness, restricted from seeing the glory of God in the face of Christ. As we are the only witness-People bearing the Good News by which their hearts may be quickened and widened, bring us to repentance and set us upon the sure foundation of Your Son, that they may “see” our “good works,” and “praise” our “Father in heaven.” None has been more unrestricted in love, more open-hearted and free-speaking than You. Be merciful to us then, O God, and cause us to bear Your image in the nations. Amen.
The ministry of reconciliation is no light thing. It is a precious privilege, one which requires painstaking attention both to orthodoxy and to orthopraxy. Where ministry is approached in a professional way, where it is perceived and performed according to the wisdom of men, abuses and distortions will abound.
It is within the possibilities of grace to serve with the same kind of power and wisdom that the early apostles possessed. Regarding those who were mishandling God’s word and ministering according to the flesh, “we are not like” them.
The fragrance of God is the fragrance of God-riveted servanthood, the kind of life which is poured out as a drink offering for the sake of His Name, and for the sake of others. There is little room left for self-seeking in the life of a man who has been brought to this glorious place.
We are in profound need of servant-leaders in the Church who have been so wrung out, so emptied, and so filled with the wisdom and power of Christ, that this would be the fragrance of our lives and ministries.
The Psalmist here gives vent to this most trying fact of life, and as it will be the experience of every believer at some point in their lives, it is fitting for us to reflect upon it.
There are seasons of the pilgrimage for every child of God when those with whom we once walked closely are turned against us, and these seasons are filled with perplexities and vexations of soul which have the propensity to dislodge our bearings in the profoundest of ways.
This may occur within the family context, within the context of fellowship, and even within the context of ministry, with those that you’ve sought to build the house of God with. All of these are painful, but the latter can be particularly vexing, as fractured relationships and razed vision give way to unwise, damaging, even sinful ways of handling the aftermath of such collapses.
The Psalmist feels as if he cannot “endure it”, and this may be the case in like experiences through which we are required to pass.
Broken ministry relationships can have stinging reverberations which come back in waves for many years. When we are required by God to hold the line on an issue of Biblical conviction, one which leads to a fallout with another leader who sees things differently, or is perhaps even compromising clear Biblical truth, even the fact that we’ve clung to Godly convictions does not immediately give solace or dissolve the pain of that fractured friendship.
It can be baffling to see how leaders- even Godly men, on many accounts- handle the aftermath of a moral collapse, or how they seek to keep the ministry-house standing, though its foundations be filled with cracks. The accuser of the brethren is always speaking, distance with former companions gives way to suspicions and unfounded assumptions, and confusion, depression, and disillusionment can ebb and flow unexpectedly at any given time, often inexplicably.
Then there is the one who had previously been counted a “close friend.” There is no guarantee that he or she will be brought to repentance and a reconciliation effected. There may be a messy conglomeration of lies, misunderstandings, manipulation, and harsh words included in the package, and the mess of it may not be so clear to others. You may be required to bear knowledge of things about this friend without giving vent to that which you feel would justify your name in the situation.
We must find rest in the Sovereignty of God, knowing that all these things are working for our humbling and sanctification, and that if indeed our former companion belongs to Him, He will see to the discipline and restoration of those that He loves.
In these kinds of situations, the cycle of temptation will be one of self-righteousness, defensiveness, anger, defensiveness, gossip, and unforgiveness. This may be inflamed further when you see the way in which your former companion goes on with his or her life, continuing to function upon the very faulty foundation with which you had such serious concerns from the beginning.
The manipulative man may have speech which is “smooth as butter,” but “war is in his heart.” He may have “soothing” speech to those who do not know his true condition, but his words are “drawn swords” that stab and slice those who stand in the way of his self-driven vision. One of the most tragic things about his deception is that even for him, the destructive dagger may be cloaked in noble aspirations. This makes our fractured relationships to be filled with subtleties, and thus more prone to confusion.
We should not be surprised by this, though we often are. The human heart is deceitful, and we cannot know the depth of our own sinfulness. Our self-life is a jagged thing, and all of its doings leave abrasions and lacerations on the souls of others, and indeed, on our own souls also.
We ought to have mercy upon the one with whom we’ve had a fallout, for in a very poignant sense we are all at war inwardly. The war in the former-companion’s soul is not explained by the Hollywood scenario of “good guy” verses “bad guy.” It is more complex, for the war has to do with sin. Men draw swords to protect their petty kingdoms in ministry because they are not operating upon the sure foundation that only the Father of Lights, the Prince of Peace, and the Spirit of Truth can establish within us.
Wars rage in men’s hearts because they are not living on the basis of Gospel-sonship— they are not free to submit to the Word and to a local body of believers because they are not free indeed. They have something in keeping with their own name yet to prove. Thus they go about responding to the itch for significance, and however soothing their persona might be, they are likely to butcher the clear requirements of Scripture and to sink their swords into anyone who would love them enough to raise a question about the fragmented foundation they’re seeking to build upon.
They may never come to a willingness to hear true correction from loving brethren, and you cannot cater to that unwillingness or give false affirmation to their ministry, or else you cease to love truth and cease to love them. You cannot compromise the Scriptures, you must hold the line, and this includes both holding fast to Biblical convictions, and doing all that you do “in love,” with a heart of mercy. This is a supernatural task.
We are a broken people, indeed. In every kind of ministry expression- foreign missions, local churches, para-church works- there are men and women operating in unqualified ways. They may give heed to certain Scriptures which feed their ministry visions and identities, but they do not give ample heed to Scriptures which pertain to Gospel foundations, nor to the nature of what God requires of His workers.
We are all subject to deception in these ways, and it is only through much prayer, painstaking attention to the Scriptures, keeping in step with the Holy Spirit, and vulnerable, accountable fellowship with the saints that we find clarity and help to build the house of God aright. The neglect of these ancient paths has produced many a bruised reed and many an aborted ministry (even if the shell of that ministry endures), in the pursuit even of noble endeavors.
We are not qualified for ministry by any talent or attribute of the flesh, we are qualified only by God, in accordance with the faith which has been articulated in the Divinely-breathed wisdom of Holy Scripture.
The ramifications of fractured relationships are grave unless grace intervenes. There is only one remedy here for the Psalmist, and for us.
Taking up our cross means daily relinquishing our rights for a turbulence-free life; daily relinquishing any ties we would maintain for revenge, and instead offering up perpetual forgiveness; daily offering up secret intercessions for those who may have wronged us; daily relinquishing any thought that were we in the shoes of our offender, we would have been any wiser or acted any better, apart from the grace of God.
Casting our cares upon the LORD means entrusting our past, present, and future to the hands of the Potter, and leaving our former companions to His dealings, the One who is faithful and true, and who is coming soon to give reward and recompense, according to what each of us has done. There is a Day coming when all of our thoughts, words, and ministry endeavors will be tried by the fire of God. He will reward His people for all that has been given of Him, built in accordance with His way. All else will be reduced to ashes.
It behooves us to examine ourselves, to see to it that we be found in faith, and that we ourselves are building the church in the manner and spirit that God would have us to, knowing that “we shall all stand before the Judgment seat of Christ.” This truth provides hope for our pilgrimage, and that amazing grace which teaches our hearts to fear rightly.
We can be sure that as we are made righteous through the Gospel, as we seek rest only in Christ, He will sustain us. The righteous are not righteous of their own accord. They are those who have been justified by Christ and who are thus continuing in faith and repentance. They are those who are continually being reformed by the Scriptures and refined by the Spirit. They will never be shaken.
It is in that one hope that the war in our hearts may be silenced. It is in that one hope that the war in the hearts of our former friends may be brought into the self-same peace- a happy surrender to the King and His Kingdom. Let us pray for that sweet reality to be brought to bear in our own lives, in the lives of our enemies, and in the lives of our former companions.
May it be so for the sake of Your Name, You Who are both Faithful and True, the One who has purposed to “reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross.” Be so merciful to us, that we would be found in that privileged company of friends, that we would grow up into Christ and be made whole together in Him, even with former-companions restored to us as brethren, tasting together the goodness of God, entering together into the joy of His everlasting Kingdom. We ask these things in good faith that it would be pleasing to Your heart, O God. Amen. | 2019-04-24T18:46:52 | https://christ-thecenter.com/category/ecclesiology/ |
This paper develops a new equilibrium model of two-sided search where ex-ante heterogeneous individuals have general payoff functions and vectors of attributes. The analysis applies to a large class of models, from the non-transferable utility case to the collective household case with bargaining. The approach is powerful for it identifies a simple algorithm which, in the empirical application, is found to rapidly converge to equilibrium. Using indirect inference, we identify the differential effects of women's ability and charm on female match incentives. We use these results to assess the separate impacts of the arrival of equal opportunities for women in the labor market and the advent of the contraceptive pill on female economic activity and matching. | 2019-04-24T05:13:35 | https://cepr.org/active/publications/discussion_papers/dp.php?dpno=12095 |
BEIJING: The US on Tuesday stated it's going to “utilise all to be had sources” to ensure the list of Jaish-e-Muhammed founder Masood Azhar as a "global terrorist" by the UN.
The US had on March 27 circulated a draft solution to the robust 15-nation Council to blacklist Azhar and subject him to a go back and forth ban, an belongings freeze and an palms embargo. The transfer got here after China put a dangle on a French proposal to record Azhar under the 1267 Al Qaeda Sanctions Committee of the Council.
Reiterating its firm stand at the factor, the US State Department has reportedly stated it's going to ensure that the Pakistan-based terrorist is held responsible by the world group.
Masood Azhar-led JeM had claimed accountability for the deadly terror attack in Pulwama, which left 40 CRPF workforce martyred.
Responding to the State Department's remarks, China on Wednesday stated that Washington's transfer is complicating the problem and now not conducive to peace and stability in South Asia.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a media briefing that Beijing is adopting constructive and affordable stand at the factor to get to the bottom of it properly.
Earlier, China had criticised the US for immediately taking the Masood Azhar factor to the UN Security Council. It claimed that "positive progress" has been made to get to the bottom of the vexed factor and accused the US of scuttling its efforts.
China has so far blocked the transfer to designate Azhar as a 'global terrorist' four times lately.
On Wednesday, the Chinese foreign ministry spokesman stated overwhelming majority of the U.S. individuals believe that efforts should be made under the 1267 Sanctions Committee to resolve this designation thru discussion and consultation as an alternative of pushing the draft solution at the U.S..
India handed over a file to Pakistan on February 27 with specific main points of Pakistan-based terror workforce JeM's complicity in the Pulwama attack and the presence of Jaish terror camps and its management in Pakistan.
Pakistan has already stated that it has now not discovered any link between the JeM and the Pulwama terror attack and demanded more information/evidence from India. | 2019-04-24T12:21:11 | https://www.newstread.com/2019/04/will-utilise-all-available-resources-to.html |

CSA programs are awesome for some folks, but they aren't for everyone, and that's ok! Here are some guiding questions to ask yourself before you commit.
Is having a relationship with a farmer important to you?
CSA members have a direct connection to their farmer. In our CSA, members receive a weekly email (usually from Taylor) with the latest news from the farm, or an easy to digest science lesson on why tomato plants make your fingers green when you touch them. Emails also have a list of the week’s veggies, plus a recipe or two that uses the week’s items. In addition, a farmer will be at the pick ups each week, so you can ask us gardening questions, find out exactly how we deal with pests and diseases, or get cooking tips for harder to use ingredients. We love having a CSA because we get to know the people we are growing food for, and CSA fans appreciate that they can take the guesswork out of knowing where their food comes from.
If that sounds good, then Yes, you do want a relationship with the people who grow your food!
If you don’t really mind who grows your food, or if you prefer the anonymity of the grocery store, answer No for this question.
Do you value having high quality ingredients that actually taste good?
That sounds like a leading question, but it’s an important one! Taste is what we’re all about, and we choose our vegetable varieties based on taste. We even hold a tomato tasting event each summer to have CSA members taste the varieties and help us choose which to keep for the next year! Our CSA members consistently rank “taste” as a number one reason that they come back to our CSA each year, citing carrots and greens as “actually having a flavor!” We also hear stories of long time kale haters turning over a new leaf (sorry, I just love a good vegetable pun) after tasting frost-sweetened winter kale.
So, if you have had bad experiences with flavorless ingredients from the grocery store, or you believe that delicious meals start with quality ingredients, then answer Yes to this question.
If taste isn’t high in your list of food values, maybe give this one a No.
Are you willing to try new foods?
We find that the number one reason that people try a CSA and don’t try another is that they end up throwing some of the food away, and that doesn’t feel good for anyone. We have done extensive questionnaires to find out which vegetables are most popular, and how much of each item people can eat in a week. We do our best to give a reasonable amount of each item and not overload you, and we lean towards items that are more popular. Even better, we have identified the least popular items and pair them in choice sections so that you can usually avoid them if you want to. However, if you are new to a CSA we can almost guarantee that there will be a vegetable that you’ve never heard of before, and we hope that you would give it a try.
If that sounds doable, answer Yes.
If you aren’t that adventurous, or you don’t think your family is willing to stray from dishes that they are comfortable with, a CSA might not be for you.
As a CSA member you will have a bag full of fresh vegetables every single week. For some people that’s exciting and invigorating, but for others it’s quite intimidating. We find that most families cook at home at least 3 nights per week, and are able to finish their veggies by the following week. We give plenty of salad making supplies and foods that can be taken to work or school as snacks, so not every ingredient needs to be prepped and cooked. You will also need to be able to pick up your share each week, which might be convenient if it’s on the way home, or it might be more of a chore than you’re up for. Think hard on this one!
If you feel like you have time or would like to make time to cook at least 3 nights per week, answer Yes.
If that doesn’t sound doable, answer No.
Are you looking for a “deal” on your weekly vegetables?
People who enjoy their CSA experience don’t go into it looking for lots of vegetables at a reduced price, and don’t compare the cost to grocery store prices. We are not the type of CSA that will load you up with bushels of cucumbers in the heat of the summer. Instead, we plan our season based on the number of CSA members that we have, and we try not to grow or waste excess food. Therefore, our CSA shares are priced at (about) the value that we would charge at the farmers market, but you get so much more than our farmers market customers. In return for investing in our farm, we give you 10-15% more veggie value than you pay for, plus each CSA member gets a tote bag, countless recipes, the freshest produce from our fields, and exclusive access to off-season (winter/spring) produce. Our CSA members value the fact that we are working to make a living, and most would not ask us to give them extra produce that they didn’t feel they bought and paid for. The relationship between CSA member and farmer is truly special in this way! That said, we accept EBT payments, we offer 50% off shares through the Farm Share Program, and payment plans.
If you don’t mind paying retail prices for awesome vegetables, answer Yes.
If you are on a grocery budget or would rather get loads of zucchini, answer No.
Are you willing to change your mindset or schedule to be in a CSA?
It often takes CSA members a few weeks or months to get into the CSA groove. It can be an adjustment to let us make your produce buying decisions for you, to loosen your meal plan to fit the week’s items, or eat more seasonally. (We don’t grow tomatoes in the winter!) It is also a time and financial commitment. In our experience most new CSA members are hesitant at first, but after a month or so are having a blast, cooking new meals for friends and family and meeting other CSA members at their weekly pick up. We also notice that the most successful new CSA members had a good idea of what they were committing to.
So here it is...if you are ready for the commitment then answer Yes and take a look at our CSA shares.
If it just doesn’t sound right for you, that’s ok! You can still support local farms at your local co-op or farmers market, and you can try our Market CSA if you want a taste of CSA but aren’t ready to dive right in. | 2019-04-20T01:09:56 | https://www.footprintfarmvt.com/csaquiz.html |
Although your primary mission is to procure enough spare parts to ensure the survival of Tau, your secondary goal is to bring back any other items you find which may be of value to the vault. Previous Scavengers have brought back armour, weapons, medicine, and even Ancient robots. These are kept in the storerooms of Tau. When you return from a foray on the surface, you will be encouraged to deliver any unwanted articles in the storeroom, for which you will be duly compensated in the form of Trade Units (or ‘TU’). You may, of course, draw on the supplies in the storeroom (at a cost) whenever you like. I heartily recommend storing unused objects here, since the storerooms are secure and the objects will be protected from roaming creatures and thieves.
I am sure that you are questioning why it is necessary that you earn Trade Units to outfit your group.
I would like to remind you that Tau has already equipped you with the best survival gear, weapons, and protection that we have available in any quantity. Our resources are, in fact, quite limited and we have no way of knowing which few of you will possess the necessary qualities to advance the cause of Tau. It is not in our best interest to waste what other equipment we have on the rest of you who will, pardon the expression, wash out right away. This therefore, is our means of determining who among you is most capable, while at the same time providing a little personal incentive to ensure that we get the most from every one of you.

The extent of Egypt's counter-revolution has been laid bare by the jailing of one of the key figureheads of the 2011 uprising – a conviction that means Alaa Abd El Fattah has been jailed or investigated under each of the country's five heads of state since Hosni Mubarak.
Abd El Fattah, one of the activists most associated with the 2011 uprising that briefly ended 60 years of autocratic rule, was sentenced to 15 years in jail for allegedly organising a protest – an act banned under a law implemented last November, and used to jail several revolutionary leaders.
According to Abd El Fattah's sister, Mona Seif, also a prominent campaigner, he and another activist were sentenced in absentia after being barred from entering the courtroom then arrested and taken to prison by some of the officials who had earlier blocked his entrance.
Seif wrote on Facebook that Abd El Fattah was "waiting for the judge to give permission to the guards to allow them to enter the venue to attend their session, but [instead] someone from the prosecution went out and arrested them".
Abd El Fattah's supporters say his trial was clearly politicised, and that he had no role in the protest against military trials that he is accused of organising.
Abd El Fattah was also jailed under Mubarak, the military junta that succeeded him, and Adly Mansour, the interim president installed after the overthrow of Mohamed Morsi last summer. Under Morsi, Abd El Fattah escaped prison, but was placed under investigation.
Abd El Fattah joins several other well-known revolutionary leaders in jail. Mahienour el-Masry, who led protests against police violence in 2010 that set the stage for the 2011 uprising, was jailed last month, while Ahmed Maher, the co-founder of the 6 April youth movement who also inspired anti-Mubarak demonstrations, has been in jail since November. | 2019-04-18T23:15:18 | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jun/11/egyptian-activist-alaa-abd-el-fattah-jailed |

To investigate the clinicopathological findings of women diagnosed with breast cancer and study the impact of chronic psychological stress on the pathological characteristics of these tumors.
We investigated a cohort composed of women diagnosed with breast cancer and divided into two groups. One group was categorized as presenting with chronic psychological stress (by using the Self-Reporting Questionnaire − SRQ-20). Another group of women with breast cancer, but with no previous history of chronic psychological stress, comprised the Control Group. Clinical and pathological data were assessed.
Women presenting with a history of chronic distress were significantly overweight when compared to the Control Group. Furthermore, it was observed that these stressed women also had a significant percentage of aggressive breast cancer subtype, the HER2 amplified tumor, which could be putatively associated with the loss of immunosurveillance.
Our findings suggested an interaction among chronic psychological stress, overweight, and the development of more aggressive breast tumors.
Although the relation between cancer development and chronic stress has been described, little is known concerning the impact of chronic psychological stress in the phenotype of breast tumors. To clarify this question, we investigated if women presenting with chronic emotional distress could exhibit more aggressive phenotypes of breast cancer.
To investigate clinicopathological findings from women diagnosed with breast cancer, and study the impact of chronic psychological stress in the pathological characteristics of tumors.
Considering that (1) our population was approximately 100 thousand inhabitants; (2) a p value of 0.05; (3) according to the Instituto Nacional de Câncerestimate, the incidence of breast cancer in this region was roughly 61 cases per 100 thousand women; (4) there were about 30 thousand women in the age range of risk for breast cancer in this area, thus, we have that the minimal sample size of about 18 patients was needed. Taking into account the period of the study and the fact that we worked with patients previously scheduled on a fixed day of the week to undergo chemotherapy, we decided to include 17 patients in each group. In this context, this study enrolled 34 women diagnosed with infiltrative ductal carcinoma of the breast. This study was previously approved by the Institutional Review Board, and all participants signed the Informed Consent Form. The research project was approved by the National Council of Scientific Research Ethics Committee, under number 497.050 and CAAE: 22027213.7.0000.0107. Clinical records were assessed and the data collected included age at diagnosis, weight, height, comorbidities, TNM classification, and chemotherapy regimen.
For determining the chronic psychological stress status of patients, we conducted an initial interview to verify the social support of the patient (family income, type of residence, level of education, life style, and social relationships), since we did not know if the patients were from different social conditions. Because all patients reported similar socioeconomic data, we continued the study by applying the SRQ-20 for psychiatric disorder screening.9 This interview was applied to patients that were in the hospital for routine chemotherapy treatment during the period of the study.
The women enrolled in this study were categorized into two groups: Control Group (n=17), with women diagnosed with breast cancer with no previous history of chronic psychological stress; Stress Group (n=17), with women diagnosed with breast cancer with a past history of chronic psychological stress.
For clinicopathological parameters, data were expressed as the mean ± standard error of the mean. All data were compared by using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test. A p value <0.05 was considered significant. All statistical analyses were performed using the GraphPad Prism software version 5.0 (GraphPad Prism Software, San Diego, CA, USA).
The mean age at diagnosis was 60.2 years. We found that 40% of patients were diagnosed as having breast cancer by routine mammograms, and 53% reported perception of nodules in the breasts by self-examination. The remaining 7% had no palpable nodules, but felt pain in breast and went to a doctor for this reason. Regarding the verification of chronic psychological stress (Table 1), it was observed that 79% reported a history of chronic psychological stress. The most common traumas related were death of family members, abandonment by a partner, employment loss, sexual abuse, and major depression. Moreover, 73% of patients associated the occurrence of chronic psychological stress with breast cancer development. A total of 47% were classified as potential carriers of psychic disorders by the SRQ-20. The patients who reported a positive history of psychological stress were categorized to form the Stress Group.
Aiming to understand the clinicopathological impact of chronic psychological stress on breast cancer and clinical features, we compared the data from the Stress Group with a control cohort, composed of women diagnosed with breast cancer with no past history of chronic emotional stress. In this context, figure 1 shows that the Control Group comprised mainly women with breast cancer presenting with a normal body mass index (BMI) (90%). On the other hand, patients from the Stress Group exhibited a significant predominance of overweight women (54%; p=0.0041). The molecular subtyping of breast tumors (Figure 2) indicated the predominance of HER2 positive tumors in the Stress Group when compared to controls (31±1.41%versus 12±0.05%; p=0.0136).
For the last years, breast cancer has been the leading malignant neoplasm in women worldwide. This fact deserves attention, since the list of risk factors related with this disease is growing. Our aim was to investigate women diagnosed with breast cancer who reported a past history of chronic psychological stress and its impact on clinicopathological aspects of breast cancer. To reach this goal we initially applied the SRQ-20 as a psychiatric screening tool to compose the stress cohort.
The SRQ-20 is an instrument developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to screen psychiatric disorders in patients. It detects symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic complaints with adequate accuracy.11 The SRQ-20 was previously applied and validated in the Brazilian population,9 including breast cancer patients.12 Our data demonstrated that about 47% of patients seen during the period of the SRQ-20 application were categorized as presenting with psychiatric distress and included in the Stress Group.
We further selected another cohort of patients who had a similar clinical history (age at diagnosis, family history, general health status, and family income), but with no prior report of chronic psychological stress to compose the Control Group. We employed this approach aiming to compare the impact of chronic emotional distress on clinical and pathological characteristics of breast tumors, in both groups. Our data indicated that a significant portion of the women enrolled in the Stress Group were overweight when compared to those of the Control Group. Both psychological stress and overweight are important risk factors for breast cancer development.1,2 Under chronic stress conditions, there is a systemic rise in cortisol levels, which increases appetite and favors the storage of lipids in adipose tissue.2 This set of biological events that contributes to weight gain is made up of relevant risk factors for breast cancer in the modern society,8 and may partly help to understand the results found in the present study. Overweight increases the risk for breast cancer recurrence after the primary tumor excision, and significantly reduces the overall survival of patients13 by affecting the spreading of breast cancer cells.14 This evidence helps to understand the important percentage of women with locally advanced disease upon diagnosis in the Stress Group.
It is well-established that chronic inflammation induced by the excessive availability of lipids found during overweight and obesity conditions can promote cancer spreading and aggressiveness, a process mediated by tumor-driven cytokines.1 Together, chronic psychological stress and overweight can impair immunosurveillance as shown in breast cancer patients by Varker et al.7 Altogether, these factors are putative stimuli for developing breast tumors with aggressive characteristics.
These data support the hypothesis that the women enrolled in the present study have a complex chain formed by historical factors of psychological stress, overweight, and development of phenotypically aggressive breast tumors. Our preliminary findings suggest a “vicious circle” involving chronic psychological stress, overweight, and breast cancer aggressiveness.
The main limitations of our study included the small sample size and the need for a long-term follow-up of patients to examine the recurrence of the disease and responsiveness to chemotherapy.
Our data suggest that chronic psychological stress may represent a considerable risk factor for weight gain and development of aggressive tumors in women diagnosed with breast cancer, such as human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-amplified breast tumors.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a new way of providing support for people living with disability. It’s a whole-of-life approach tailored to each person’s needs and goals.
You can check your eligibility for the NDIS through the Access Checklist on the government’s NDIS website.
With our extensive experience in disability services, Just Better Care can assist you to get the best out of the NDIS. We can support you through the transition with our four step process. Our skilled staff are always on hand to guide you through the process. You can contact us with questions anytime.
Careful planning is needed to prepare for the NDIS. It is important to think about what your life is like now, what your support needs are and what your current and future goals might be. You should also gather information from your existing support providers, allied health professionals, specialist doctor or GP to understand your support needs.
You will be contacted by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to set up a planning meeting. To create your first plan you will meet with an NDIS representative or Local Area Coordinator to have a conversation about your current situation and supports. You can have representatives there to assist you in developing your plan.
Once your plan is approved, it is time to action it. There are supports available to help you implement and monitor your plan, this is called coordination. Coordinators will link you with service providers, address any barriers to accessing services and build your capacity to gain more independence.
Just Better Care has a range of options to support you in all aspects of your life. We take the time to get to know you, identifying the best ways to support you in achieving your goals. Whether it’s your career aspirations, exploring a passion, or travelling the world, together we can make it possible.
Contact us for support with your transition to the NDIS. | 2019-04-26T06:27:14 | http://justbettercare.com/sunshine-coast/our-services/disability-support/ndis |
Global sneaker and apparel marketplace, Stadium Goods, has raised over $4.6m in new equity funding.
The financing will further Stadium Goods’ expansion into the mainstream footwear market, valued at over $80bn annually. The financing round was led by Forerunner Ventures and also includes The Chernin Group, among others. Famed investor — and owner of the Dallas Mavericks — Mark Cuban is also a Partner and Advisor.
Founded by John McPheters and Jed Stiller in late 2015, Stadium Goods billed itself as the next generation of consumer retail, following the launch of its ecommerce platform and their Soho retail location in NYC.
The company offers sneaker consumers around the world the most premium, innovative and customer service-focused approach to buying and selling highly coveted footwear, apparel and lifestyle goods.
This past summer, Stadium Goods also expanded into China through an exclusive partnership with Tmall Global, an extension of Alibaba Group’s B2C Tmall.com business, which helps overseas merchants to effectively enter China’s rapidly growing online retail market.
“In just over a year in business, we’ve experienced tremendous growth and, more importantly, helped to legitimize the resale model by making it more relevant and accessible to all types of consumers,” said Jed Stiller, co-founder and managing partner of Stadium Goods. | 2019-04-19T08:28:49 | https://startupbeat.com/stadium-goods-raises-4-6m-equity-funding/24470/ |
Your business’s online presence means everything today. Having a well-maintained website and active social media pages is a must.
Some new entrepreneurs would think that establishing and maintaining an online presence would be difficult. As it turns out, they couldn’t be more wrong. It is more than possible to build your business online on a budget.
You just need to know which resources you should rely on as you build your business’s online presence. From affordable hosting to marketing outreach, here are 5 tips to help you build your business’s online presence on a budget.
There are several host providers on the market today. Few, however, are cheaper than Bluehost. Not only that, but Bluehost arguably offers customers a fair amount of functionality for the cost.
Further still, Bluehost has been especially kind to small businesses lately. The web hosting company teamed up with Google Domains earlier this year to allow Google Domains customers to use Bluehost’s site to create new accounts.
Almost everyone who has done 5 minutes of research on site building has heard about WordPress. The company has certainly earned its reputation. It allows people to build websites quickly and cheaply while providing them with tons of cool tools.
It’s also extremely compatible with several hosting platforms. Bluehost just happens to be one of those platforms, which makes WordPress and Bluehost a super duo of sorts.
Investing in your future is always good on any budget. Investing in expensive email hosting, on the other hand, is not.
We don’t doubt that expensive hosting offers some of the best premium features. You don’t, however, need pricey email hosting to have relatively good email hosting.
That said, look into free email hosting before you even think about purchasing premium email hosting services. You’ll be doing your wallet a favor.
Some business owners dream of having their own warehouses which are stocked with their businesses’ goods. Unfortunately, though, that’s just not plausible for small companies that haven’t gained much traction yet.
Dropship products are a great solution if you want to build your business online and don’t have the capital to deal with stocking and shipping items to customers.
There is no doubt in our minds that marketing specialists know what they’re doing. They have the necessary skills to navigate the data-driven market.
Despite that fact, small businesses have to be realistic about what they can afford. Not many small companies have the capital to hire seasoned marketing professionals, and that’s okay.
You can focus on marketing outreach by yourself. You likely won’t be amazing at it, but you’ll get the job done. When you reach the point at which you can afford a marketing specialist, then you can splurge on one.
Make no mistake here. While you can build your business online on a budget, it won’t be a cakewalk. Furthermore, you might eventually have to shell out some serious cash to get things going.
Having said that, if you find yourself in debt, take a moment to center yourself and then begin working on getting yourself back on track.
If, on the other hand, you’ve successfully avoided incurring debt, drop a comment for your fellow entrepreneurs. They’d love to get their businesses off of their feet without taking on too much debt. | 2019-04-21T12:04:51 | https://www.creditzipper.com/5-tips-to-help-build-your-business-online-on-a-budget/ |

We began to raise turkeys in 1972 and we started with our 25 pet turkeys in our backyard. When Thanksgiving came, our friends came to help dress our turkeys and we gave each of them a turkey for their dinner. They came back after Thanksgiving to tell us how much their guests had liked the turkeys and wanted more of our turkeys for the next Thanksgiving. That was the push we needed to get started. | 2019-04-21T22:38:02 | http://mylocal.vivelohoy.com/bristol-il/agricultura/produccion-agricola/undesser-turkey-farm-630-553-5888 |
The songs of the 18-19th century Tibetan yogin Shabkar Tsogdruk Rangdrol provide us an excellent window with which to view the relationship, the ecology, between the ideal of a Buddhist retreatant and his solitary mountainous surroundings. At the heart of this paper is a close analysis of this relationship between yogin and retreat, but also between the inner and outer subject and object worlds of Shabkar himself. I argue that we would be mistaken to view this relationship in an overly Cartesian way, i.e. as an immutable, static subject gaining an objectifying transcendence over society and nature. Upon adopting a more emic model of Tibetan yogic experience, we understand that such a relationship is one of mutual interdependence filled with back and forth exchanges between subject and object worlds, and that neither is in any way static but is instead active, transformative and utterly permeable to the other to the point where, at the highest level of yogic realization, all distinction between the two falls away and dissolves into what Shabkar himself calls chos dbyings, the expanse of reality free from illusions of duality.

Great interior depth allowing me to place my Canon 5D Mark II on its side in the bag.
Removable belly band. This is huge for me when flying. A fully padded belly band adds much to the thickness of a bag. I don't need it for urban gigs, so being able to remove it helps for travel.
Adjustable harness. So I can get the fit just right.
Ample side pockets. Two long side pockets run the height of the bag. Very useful for personal gear.
Rugged. Everything about this bag inspires confidence. The material, design, zippers, all weather cover, even the looks.
Big enough, but not too big. The Pro Trekker 300 AW is the smallest of the series, yet it accommodates the gear I need for serious assignments. You can see both the interior and exterior specs here. And yes, it is airline compatible for most flights.
Top converts to a removable waistpack. It serves in two ways: first as a traditional backpack lid, providing extra security and weather protection; and as a removable/wearable waistpack with a mesh-covered backpad, two roomy pockets and a key clip.
Loops, handles, and straps. Three handles for grabbing, straps everywhere to secure tripods, monopods, ski poles, etc. And even compression straps on the bottom for additional outdoor gear. Whatever you have, you can probably lash it to this pack.
Built in hydration. Yes, the Pro Trekker is hydration ready.
The next stop for me and the Pro Trekker 300 AW is Cologne, Germany for my assignment at Photokina. I'll be shooting stills, recording video, and interviewing photographers, including Greg Lowe. My bag is packed. I'm ready to go.
The Lowepro Pro Trekker 300 AW is available on Amazon for $240. | 2019-04-23T07:56:03 | http://thedigitalstory.com/2010/08/lowepro-pro-trekker.html |
Energy data management is the central storage location for processing independent and interval-based energy data. The software’s processing rules are derived from business specifications and extensive regulatory requirements.
Market communication allows companies to exchange energy data, down to the exact metering point. One of the biggest challenges is to acquire good quality and timely data from one’s own systems, which means that the EDM platform needs to be integrated and needs to be capable of processing complex validations, including financial validations, as errors may occur within balancing group deviations, for example.
In order to meet these challenges effectively, it is necessary to check the systemic integration of the EDM solution in the IT landscape and, if required, make any enhancements. As part of a harmonization and/or (re)standardization project, one solution within the system integration could allow both change processes and EDM processes to access the same databases. Precise rules for updating data are essential, even more so if they take into account subsequent processes.
For distribution networks and sales, the advantage of this is that it allows access to the most current data, without the need for implementing interfaces. This then helps, for instance, with processes such as shadow accounting. | 2019-04-22T14:26:49 | https://www.convista.de/en/consulting/utilities-specific-processes/grid-expansion-operation/energy-data-management.html |
The Sydney 2000 Olympic Games have begun! How closely have you been watching them? Here's one way to find out: We've taken pictures of track-and-field equipment of the sort being used in Australia this week and next. Look at the pictures, read the clues, and see if you can figure out what they are or what they're used for. (Careful - there's a trick photo!) To see if you deserve a medal, check the answers on the facing page.
It first appeared as an Olympic event in 708 BC. There were two events then - target throwing and distance throwing. Ancient Greeks had an edge: a throwing sling was legal.
Are you looking close-up, or are you far away in this photograph? Look for clues in the photo. Here's another hint: In ancient Greece, the name of this thing was a unit of measure equal to about 185 meters (607 feet). Back then, a straight track for a footrace was often that long.
Zola Budd, the South African 3,000-meter runner who competed in the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, did not need a pair of these. Neither did the ancient Greeks.
It has to be light, it can't be any longer than 11-1/2 inches, and it had better not be slippery. If you don't bring it with you, you lose.
These used to be made out of stone. Unlike other early Olympic events, it has no relation to military exercises or farm work.
It was originally part of Scotland's Highland Games, based on a centuries-old soldier's challenge.
OK, so this is an easy one. But can you name all five events in which this measuring tool is used to determine who gets a medal?
(1) Javelin. Javelins were originally light throwing spears used in combat; (2) Stadium. This is a telephoto shot of Sydney's Stadium Australia, which holds 110,000 spectators - an Olympic record; (3) Starting blocks. Runners began crouching at the start of races in 1884; (4) Track spikes. The ancient Olympians ran races barefoot, as did Ms. Budd; (5) Starting pistol. It shoots blank cartridges; (6) Baton, for relay races; (7) Discus. Discus throwers used to stand in one place and could only use their arms. Today, they spin and step; (8) The shot; the event is the shot put. For hundreds of years, soldiers challenged one another to see who could throw a cannon ball the farthest; (9) Tape measure. It's used to judge the shot put, discus, long jump, triple jump, and javelin. | 2019-04-19T04:54:01 | https://www.csmonitor.com/2000/0919/p22s1.html |

In the geologic record, the K–Pg event is marked by a thin layer of sediment called the K–Pg boundary, which can be found throughout the world in marine and terrestrial rocks. The boundary clay shows high levels of the metal iridium, which is rare in the Earth’s crust but abundant in asteroids.
As originally proposed in 1980 by a team of scientists led by Luis Alvarez, it is now generally thought that the K–Pg extinction was caused by a massive comet or asteroid impact, estimated to be 10 km (6.2 mi) wide, 66 million years ago and its catastrophic effects on the global environment, including a lingering impact winter that made it impossible for plants and plankton to carry out photosynthesis. The impact hypothesis, also known as the Alvarez hypothesis, was bolstered by the discovery of the 180-kilometre-wide (112 mi) Chicxulub crater in the Gulf of Mexico in the early 1990s, which provided conclusive evidence that the K–Pg boundary clay represented debris from an asteroid impact. The fact that the extinctions occurred at the same time as the impact provides strong situational evidence that the K–Pg extinction was caused by the asteroid. It was possibly accelerated by the creation of the Deccan Traps. However, some scientists maintain the extinction was caused or exacerbated by other factors, such as volcanic eruptions, climate change, or sea level change, separately or together.
A wide range of species perished in the K–Pg extinction. The best-known victims are the non-avian dinosaurs. However, the extinction also destroyed a plethora of other terrestrial organisms, including certain mammals, pterosaurs, birds, lizards, insects, and plants. In the oceans, the K–Pg extinction killed off plesiosaurs and the giant marine lizards (Mosasauridae) and devastated fish, sharks, mollusks (especially ammonites, which became extinct) and many species of plankton. It is estimated that 75% or more of all species on Earth vanished. Yet the devastation caused by the extinction also provided evolutionary opportunities. In the wake of the extinction, many groups underwent remarkable adaptive radiations—a sudden and prolific divergence into new forms and species within the disrupted and emptied ecological niches resulting from the event. Mammals in particular diversified in the Paleogene, producing new forms such as horses, whales, bats, and primates. Birds, fish and perhaps lizards also radiated.
The K–Pg extinction event was severe, global, rapid, and selective. In terms of severity, the event eliminated a vast number of species. Based on marine fossils, it is estimated that 75% or more of all species were made extinct by the K–Pg extinction event.
The event appears to have affected all continents at the same time. Non-avian dinosaurs, for example, are known from the Maastrichtian of North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, South America and Antarctica, but are unknown from the Cenozoic anywhere in the world. Similarly, fossil pollen shows devastation of the plant communities in areas as far apart as New Mexico, Alaska, China, and New Zealand.
Even though the boundary event was severe, there was significant variability in the rate of extinction between and within different clades. Species that depended on photosynthesis declined or became extinct as atmospheric particles blocked sunlight and reduced the solar energy reaching the Earth’s surface. This plant extinction caused a major reshuffling of the dominant plant groups. Omnivores, insectivores and carrion-eaters survived the extinction event, perhaps because of the increased availability of their food sources. No purely herbivorous or carnivorous mammals seem to have survived. Rather, the surviving mammals and birds fed on insects, worms, and snails, which in turn fed on dead plant and animal matter. Scientists hypothesize that these organisms survived the collapse of plant-based food chains because they fed on detritus (non-living organic material).
In stream communities, few animal groups became extinct because such communities rely less directly on food from living plants and more on detritus that washes in from the land, buffering them from extinction. Similar, but more complex patterns have been found in the oceans. Extinction was more severe among animals living in the water column than among animals living on or in the sea floor. Animals in the water column are almost entirely dependent on primary production from living phytoplankton, while animals living on or in the ocean floor feed on detritus or can switch to detritus feeding. Coccolithophorids and mollusks (including ammonites, rudists, freshwater snails and mussels), and those organisms whose food chain included these shell builders, became extinct or suffered heavy losses. For example, it is thought that ammonites were the principal food of mosasaurs, a group of giant marine reptiles that became extinct at the boundary. The largest air-breathing survivors of the event, crocodyliforms and champsosaurs, were semi-aquatic and had access to detritus. Modern crocodilians can live as scavengers and can survive for months without food, and their young are small, grow slowly, and feed largely on invertebrates and dead organisms or fragments of organisms for their first few years. These characteristics have been linked to crocodilian survival at the end of the Cretaceous.
Radiolaria have left a geological record since at least the Ordovician times, and their mineral fossil skeletons can be tracked across the K–Pg boundary. There is no evidence of mass extinction of these organisms, and there is support for high productivity of these species in southern high latitudes as a result of cooling temperatures in the early Paleocene. Approximately 46% of diatom species survived the transition from the Cretaceous to the Upper Paleocene. This suggests a significant turnover in species, but not a catastrophic extinction of diatoms, across the K–Pg boundary.
There is significant variation in the fossil record as to the extinction rate of marine invertebrates across the K–Pg boundary. The apparent rate is influenced by the lack of fossil records rather than actual extinction.
Ostracods, a class of small crustaceans that were prevalent in the upper Maastrichtian, left fossil deposits in a variety of locations. A review of these fossils shows that ostracod diversity was lower in the Paleocene than any other time in the Cenozoic. However, current research cannot ascertain whether the extinctions occurred prior to or during the boundary interval itself.
Approximately 60% of late-Cretaceous Scleractinia coral genera failed to cross the K–Pg boundary into the Paleocene. Further analysis of the coral extinctions shows that approximately 98% of colonial species, ones that inhabit warm, shallow tropical waters, became extinct. The solitary corals, which generally do not form reefs and inhabit colder and deeper (below the photic zone) areas of the ocean were less impacted by the K–Pg boundary. Colonial coral species rely upon symbiosis with photosynthetic algae, which collapsed due to the events surrounding the K–Pg boundary. However, the use of data from coral fossils to support K–Pg extinction and subsequent Paleocene recovery must be weighed against the changes that occurred in coral ecosystems through the K–Pg boundary.
The numbers of cephalopod, echinoderm, and bivalve genera exhibited significant diminution after the K–Pg boundary. Most species of brachiopods, a small phylum of marine invertebrates, survived the K–Pg extinction event and diversified during the early Paleocene.
There are substantial fossil records of jawed fishes across the K–Pg boundary, which provides good evidence of extinction patterns of these classes of marine vertebrates. While the deep sea realm was able to remain seemingly unaffected, there was an equal loss between the open marine apex predators and the durophagous demersal feeders on the continental shelf.
Within cartilaginous fish, approximately 7 out of the 41 families of neoselachians (modern sharks, skates and rays) disappeared after this event and batoids (skates and rays) lost nearly all the identifiable species, while more than 90% of teleost fish (bony fish) families survived.
In the Maastrichtian age, 28 shark families and 13 batoid families thrived, of which 25 and 9 survived the K-T boundary event, respectively. Forty-seven of all neoselachian genera cross the K/T boundary, 85% being sharks. Batoids display with 15% a comparably low survival rate.
There is evidence of a mass kill of bony fishes at a fossil site immediately above the K–Pg boundary layer on Seymour Island near Antarctica, apparently precipitated by the K–Pg extinction event. However, the marine and freshwater environments of fishes mitigated environmental effects of the extinction event.
Insect damage to the fossilized leaves of flowering plants from fourteen sites in North America were used as a proxy for insect diversity across the K–Pg boundary and analyzed to determine the rate of extinction. Researchers found that Cretaceous sites, prior to the extinction event, had rich plant and insect-feeding diversity. However, during the early Paleocene, flora were relatively diverse with little predation from insects, even 1.7 million years after the extinction event.
There is overwhelming evidence of global disruption of plant communities at the K–Pg boundary. Extinctions are seen both in studies of fossil pollen, and fossil leaves. In North America, the data suggests massive devastation and mass extinction of plants at the K–Pg boundary sections, although there were substantial megafloral changes before the boundary. In North America, approximately 57% of plant species became extinct. In high southern hemisphere latitudes, such as New Zealand and Antarctica, the mass die-off of flora caused no significant turnover in species, but dramatic and short-term changes in the relative abundance of plant groups. In some regions, the Paleocene recovery of plants began with recolonizations by fern species, represented as a fern spike in the geologic record; this same pattern of fern recolonization was observed after the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption.
Due to the wholesale destruction of plants at the K–Pg boundary, there was a proliferation of saprotrophic organisms, such as fungi, that do not require photosynthesis and use nutrients from decaying vegetation. The dominance of fungal species lasted only a few years while the atmosphere cleared and there was plenty of organic matter to feed on. Once the atmosphere cleared, photosynthetic organisms, like ferns and other plants, returned. Polyploidy appears to have enhanced the ability of flowering plants to survive the extinction, probably because the additional copies of the genome such plants possessed allowed them to more readily adapt to the rapidly changing environmental conditions that followed the impact.
There is limited evidence for extinction of amphibians at the K–Pg boundary. A study of fossil vertebrates across the K–Pg boundary in Montana concluded that no species of amphibian became extinct. Yet there are several species of Maastrichtian amphibian, not included as part of this study, which are unknown from the Paleocene. These include the frog Theatonius lancensis and the albanerpetontid Albanerpeton galaktion; therefore some amphibians do seem to have become extinct at the boundary. The relatively low levels of extinction seen among amphibians probably reflect the low extinction rates seen in freshwater animals.
The two living non-archosaurian reptile taxa, testudines (turtles) and lepidosaurians (lizards and tuataras), along with choristoderes (semi-aquatic archosauromorphs that would die out in the early Miocene), survived across the K–Pg boundary. Over 80% of Cretaceous turtle species passed through the K–Pg boundary. Additionally, all six turtle families in existence at the end of the Cretaceous survived into the Paleogene and are represented by living species. Living lepidosaurs include the tuataras (the only living rhynchocephalians) and the squamates. The rhynchocephalians were a widespread and relatively successful group of lepidosaurians during the early Mesozoic, but began to decline by the mid-Cretaceous, though they were very successful in the Late Cretaceous of South America. They are represented today by a single genus located exclusively in New Zealand.The order Squamata, which is represented today by lizards, including snakes and amphisbaenians (worm lizards), radiated into various ecological niches during the Jurassic and was successful throughout the Cretaceous. They survived through the K–Pg boundary and are currently the most successful and diverse group of living reptiles with more than 6,000 extant species. Many families of terrestrial squamates became extinct at the boundary, such as monstersaurians and polyglyphanodonts, and fossil evidence indicates they suffered very heavy losses in the KT event, only recovering 10 million years after it. Giant non-archosaurian aquatic reptiles such as mosasaurs and plesiosaurs, which were the top marine predators of their time, became extinct by the end of the Cretaceous. The ichthyosaurs had already disappeared before the mass extinction occurred.
The archosaur clade includes two surviving groups, crocodilians and birds, along with the various extinct groups of non-avian dinosaurs and pterosaurs.
Ten families of crocodilians or their close relatives are represented in the Maastrichtian fossil records, of which five died out prior to the K–Pg boundary. Five families have both Maastrichtian and Paleocene fossil representatives. All of the surviving families of crocodyliforms inhabited freshwater and terrestrial environments—except for the Dyrosauridae, which lived in freshwater and marine locations. Approximately 50% of crocodyliform representatives survived across the K–Pg boundary, the only apparent trend being that no large crocodiles survived. Crocodyliform survivability across the boundary may have resulted from their aquatic niche and ability to burrow, which reduced susceptibility to negative environmental effects at the boundary. Jouve and colleagues suggested in 2008 that juvenile marine crocodyliforms lived in freshwater environments like modern marine crocodile juveniles, which would have helped them survive where other marine reptiles became extinct; freshwater environments were not as strongly affected by the K–Pg extinction event as marine environments.
The Choristodera, a generally crocodile-like group of uncertain phylogeny (possibly archosaurian) also survived the event, only to become extinct in the Miocene. Studies on Champsosaurus’ palatal teeth suggest that there were dietary changes among the various species across the KT event.
One family of pterosaurs, Azhdarchidae, was definitely present in the Maastrichtian, and it likely became extinct at the K–Pg boundary. These large pterosaurs were the last representatives of a declining group that contained 10 families during the mid-Cretaceous. Several other pterosaur lineages may have been present during the Maastrichtian, such as the ornithocheirids, pteranodontids and/or nyctosaurids, as well as a possible tapejarid, though they are represented by fragmentary remains that are difficult to assign to any given group. While this was occurring, modern birds were undergoing diversification; traditionally it was thought that they replaced archaic birds and pterosaur groups, possibly due to direct competition, or they simply filled empty niches, but there is no correlation between pterosaur and avian diversities that are conclusive to a competition hypothesis, and small pterosaurs were present in the Late Cretaceous.
Most paleontologists regard birds as the only surviving dinosaurs (see Origin of birds). It is thought that all non-avian theropods became extinct, including then-flourishing groups like enantiornithines and hesperornithiforms. Several analyses of bird fossils show divergence of species prior to the K–Pg boundary, and that duck, chicken and ratite bird relatives coexisted with non-avian dinosaurs. Large collections of bird fossils representing a range of different species provides definitive evidence for the persistence of archaic birds to within 300,000 years of the K–Pg boundary. The absence of these birds in the Paleogene is evidence that a mass extinction of archaic birds took place there. A small fraction of the Cretaceous bird species survived the impact, giving rise to today’s birds. The only bird group known for certain to have survived the K–Pg boundary is the Aves. Avians may have been able to survive the extinction as a result of their abilities to dive, swim, or seek shelter in water and marshlands. Many species of avians can build burrows, or nest in tree holes or termite nests, all of which provided shelter from the environmental effects at the K–Pg boundary. Long-term survival past the boundary was assured as a result of filling ecological niches left empty by extinction of non-avian dinosaurs.
Excluding a few controversial claims, scientists agree that all non-avian dinosaurs became extinct at the K–Pg boundary. The dinosaur fossil record has been interpreted to show both a decline in diversity and no decline in diversity during the last few million years of the Cretaceous, and it may be that the quality of the dinosaur fossil record is simply not good enough to permit researchers to distinguish between the options. There is no evidence that late Maastrichtian non-avian dinosaurs could burrow, swim or dive, which suggests they were unable to shelter themselves from the worst parts of any environmental stress that occurred at the K–Pg boundary. It is possible that small dinosaurs (other than birds) did survive, but they would have been deprived of food, as herbivorous dinosaurs would have found plant material scarce and carnivores would have quickly found prey in short supply.The growing consensus about the endothermy of dinosaurs (see dinosaur physiology) helps to understand their full extinction in contrast with their close relatives, the crocodilians. Ectothermic (“cold-blooded”) crocodiles have very limited needs for food (they can survive several months without eating) while endothermic (“warm-blooded”) animals of similar size need much more food to sustain their faster metabolism. Thus, under the circumstances of food chain disruption previously mentioned, non-avian dinosaurs died, while some crocodiles survived. In this context, the survival of other endothermic animals, such as some birds and mammals, could be due, among other reasons, to their smaller needs for food, related to their small size at the extinction epoch.
Whether the extinction occurred gradually or suddenly has been debated, as both views have support from the fossil record. A study of 29 fossil sites in Catalan Pyrenees of Europe in 2010 supports the view that dinosaurs there had great diversity until the asteroid impact, with over 100 living species. However, more recent research indicates that this figure is obscured by taphonomical biases and the sparsity of the continental fossil record. The results of this study, which were based on estimated real global biodiversity, showed that between 628 and 1078 non-avian dinosaur species were alive at the end of the Cretaceous and underwent sudden extinction after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. Alternatively, interpretation based on the fossil-bearing rocks along the Red Deer River in Alberta supports the gradual extinction of non-avian dinosaurs; during the last 10 million years of the Cretaceous layers there, the number of dinosaur species seems to have decreased from about 45 to about 12. Other scientists have pointed out the same.
Several researchers support the existence of Paleocene dinosaurs. Evidence of this existence is based on the discovery of dinosaur remains in the Hell Creek Formation up to 1.3 m (4.3 ft) above and 40 thousand years later than the K–Pg boundary. Pollen samples recovered near a fossilized hadrosaur femur recovered in the Ojo Alamo Sandstone at the San Juan River indicate that the animal lived during the Cenozoic, approximately 64.5 Ma (about 1 million years after the K–Pg extinction event). If their existence past the K–Pg boundary can be confirmed, these hadrosaurids would be considered a dead clade walking. Scientific consensus is that these fossils were eroded from their original locations and then re-buried in much later sediments (also known as reworked fossils).
All major Cretaceous mammalian lineages, including monotremes (egg-laying mammals), multituberculates, metatherians, eutherians, dryolestoideans, and gondwanatheres survived the K–Pg extinction event, although they suffered losses. In particular, metatherians largely disappeared from North America, and the Asian deltatheroidans became extinct. In the Hell Creek beds of North America, at least half of the ten known multituberculate species and all eleven metatherians species are not found above the boundary. Multituberculates in Europe and North America survived relatively unscathed and quickly bounced back in the Palaeocene, but Asian forms were decimated, never again to represent a significant component on mammalian faunas.
Mammalian species began diversifying approximately 30 million years prior to the K–Pg boundary. Diversification of mammals stalled across the boundary. Current research indicates that mammals did not explosively diversify across the K–Pg boundary, despite the environment niches made available by the extinction of dinosaurs. Several mammalian orders have been interpreted as diversifying immediately after the K–Pg boundary, including Chiroptera (bats) and Cetartiodactyla (a diverse group that today includes whales and dolphins and even-toed ungulates), although recent research concludes that only marsupial orders diversified after the K–Pg boundary.
K–Pg boundary mammalian species were generally small, comparable in size to rats; this small size would have helped them find shelter in protected environments. In addition, it is postulated that some early monotremes, marsupials, and placentals were semiaquatic or burrowing, as there are multiple mammalian lineages with such habits today. Any burrowing or semiaquatic mammal would have had additional protection from K–Pg boundary environmental stresses.
At present the most informative sequence of dinosaur-bearing rocks in the world from the K–Pg boundary is found in western North America, particularly the late Maastrichtian-age Hell Creek Formation of Montana. This formation, when compared with the older (approximately 75 Ma) Judith River/Dinosaur Park Formations (from Montana and Alberta respectively) provides information on the changes in dinosaur populations over the last 10 million years of the Cretaceous. These fossil beds are geographically limited, covering only part of one continent.
In addition to rich dinosaur fossils, there are also plant fossils that illustrate the reduction in plant species across the K–Pg boundary. In the sediments below the K–Pg boundary the dominant plant remains are angiosperm pollen grains, but the actual boundary layer contains little pollen and is dominated by fern spores. More usual pollen levels gradually resume above the boundary layer. This is reminiscent of areas blighted by modern volcanic eruptions, where the recovery is led by ferns, which are later replaced by larger angiosperm plants.
The mass extinction of marine plankton appears to have been abrupt and right at the K–Pg boundary. Ammonite genera became extinct at or near the K–Pg boundary; however, there was a smaller and slower extinction of ammonite genera prior to the boundary that was associated with a late Cretaceous marine regression. The gradual extinction of most inoceramid bivalves began well before the K–Pg boundary, and a small, gradual reduction in ammonite diversity occurred throughout the very late Cretaceous. Further analysis shows that several processes were in progress in the late Cretaceous seas and partially overlapped in time, then ended with the abrupt mass extinction. The diversity of marine life decreased when the climate near the K-T boundary increased in temperature. The temperature increased about three to four degrees very rapidly between 65.4 and 65.2 million years ago, which is around the time of the extinction event. Not only did the climate temperature increase, but the water temperature decreased causing a drastic decrease in marine diversity.
The scientific consensus is that the asteroid impact at the K–Pg boundary left tsunami deposits and sediments around the area of the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. These deposits have been identified in the La Popa basin in northeastern Mexico, platform carbonates in northeastern Brazil, and Atlantic deep-sea sediments. The megatsunami has been estimated to be over 100 metres (330 ft) tall, as the asteroid fell in an area of relatively shallow sea; in deep sea it would have been 4.6 kilometres (2.9 mi) tall.
The length of time taken for the extinction to occur is a controversial issue, because some theories about the extinction’s causes require a rapid extinction over a relatively short period (from a few years to a few thousand years) while others require longer periods. The issue is difficult to resolve because of the Signor–Lipps effect; that is, the fossil record is so incomplete that most extinct species probably died out long after the most recent fossil that has been found. Scientists have also found very few continuous beds of fossil-bearing rock which cover a time range from several million years before the K–Pg extinction to a few million years after it. The sedimentation rate and thickness of K-Pg clay from three sites suggest short duration of event, perhaps less than ten thousand years.
In 1980, a team of researchers consisting of Nobel Prize–winning physicist Luis Alvarez, his son geologist Walter Alvarez, and chemists Frank Asaro and Helen Michel discovered that sedimentary layers found all over the world at the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary contain a concentration of iridium many times greater than normal (30, 160 and 20 times in three sections originally studied). Iridium is extremely rare in Earth’s crust because it is a siderophile element, and therefore most of it traveled with the iron as it sank into Earth’s core during planetary differentiation. As iridium remains abundant in most asteroids and comets, the Alvarez team suggested that an asteroid struck the Earth at the time of the K–Pg boundary. There were earlier speculations on the possibility of an impact event, but this was the first hard evidence of an impact.
This hypothesis was viewed as radical when first proposed, but additional evidence soon emerged. The boundary clay was found to be full of minute spherules of rock, crystallized from droplets of molten rock formed by the impact. Shocked quartz and other minerals were also identified in the K–Pg boundary. Shocked minerals have their internal structure deformed, and are created by intense pressures such as those associated with nuclear blasts or meteorite impacts. The identification of giant tsunami beds along the Gulf Coast and the Caribbean also provided evidence for impact, and suggested that the impact may have occurred nearby—as did the discovery that the K–Pg boundary became thicker in the southern United States, with meter-thick beds of debris occurring in northern New Mexico.
Further research identified the giant Chicxulub crater, buried under Chicxulub on the coast of Yucatán, as the source of the K–Pg boundary clay. Identified in 1990 based on work by geophysicist Glen Penfield in 1978, the crater is oval, with an average diameter of roughly 180 kilometres (110 mi), about the size calculated by the Alvarez team. The discovery of the crater—a necessary prediction of the impact hypothesis—provided conclusive evidence for a K–Pg impact, and strengthened the hypothesis that the extinction was caused by an impact.
In 2007, a hypothesis was put forth that argued the impactor that killed the dinosaurs belonged to the Baptistina family of asteroids. Concerns have been raised regarding the reputed link, in part because very few solid observational constraints exist of the asteroid or family. Indeed, it was recently discovered that 298 Baptistina does not share the same chemical signature as the source of the K–Pg impact. Although this finding may make the link between the Baptistina family and K–Pg impactor more difficult to substantiate, it does not preclude the possibility. A 2011 WISE study of reflected light from the asteroids of the family estimated the break-up at 80 Ma, giving it insufficient time to shift orbits and impact the Earth by 66 Ma.
In a 2013 paper, Paul Renne of the Berkeley Geochronology Center reported that the date of the asteroid event is 66.043±0.011 million years ago, based on argon–argon dating. He further posits that the mass extinction occurred within 32,000 years of this date.
In March 2010, an international panel of scientists endorsed the asteroid hypothesis, specifically the Chicxulub impact, as being the cause of the extinction. A team of 41 scientists reviewed 20 years of scientific literature and in so doing also ruled out other theories such as massive volcanism. They had determined that a 10-to-15-kilometre (6.2 to 9.3 mi) space rock hurtled into Earth at Chicxulub on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. The collision would have released the same energy as 100 teratonnes of TNT (420 ZJ), over a billion times the energy of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The consequences of the Chicxulub impact were of global extent. Some of these phenomena were brief occurrences that immediately followed the impact, but there were also long-term geochemical and climatic disruptions that were catastrophic to the ecology. | 2019-04-18T17:43:48 | http://paleontologyworld.com/prehistoric-flora-fauna-curiosities/cretaceous-%E2%80%93-paleogene-extinction-event |

If all goes as we anticipate, a new era for the Internet could begin on Aug. 1, 2008. On that day, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is expected to decide that Internet users have rights under the communications law.
This is a spectacular victory, because not long ago the thought that a Bush Administration FCC would actually enforce its 2005 principles for an open Internet would have been laughable. The principles were the product of intense negotiations around an order that took telephone company DSL service out from under the protections of the Communications Act that protected consumers for 70 years. Democratic Commissioners Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein got the principles as the best deal they could get at the time from FCC Chairman Kevin Martin.
Now, thanks to circumstance and hard work, the Commission will make those principles into something concrete and meaningful. The primary circumstance is that the culprit here is Comcast, the large and arrogant cable company that's the leader of an industry that has had a running battle with Martin over a number of issues for the past couple of years. It was Comcast that used hacker-like practices to curb the use of a legal program, in defiance of accepted Internet technical custom and practice. It was Comcast that denied using those tactics. And it was Comcast that showed enormous disrespect to the Commission by using paid seat warmers to pack a hearing in Cambridge, Mass., earlier this year.
Now, Martin is leading the effort to curb Comcast's atrocious behavior toward Internet users, and disrespect to the Internet. And despite his heroic efforts on the 2005 principles and many speeches favoring Net Neutrality and an open Internet, it was the reluctant Adelstein who cast the last of the three votes (with Martin and Copps) in favor of what will be a bipartisan order that will assert the Commission's jurisdiction over Internet services while smacking down Comcast.
At the heart of the decision is the realization that government does have a role – to play referee when the game gets out of hand. It was that realization that first got government into the regulation of radio in the 1920s, and it's just as true now. An industry working together will only go so far some when some in the sandbox don't play well with others.
FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell missed that point when he wrote in The Washington Post on July 27 that the better way to handle the Comcast issue was by collaboration over regulation. McDowell wrote: “If we choose regulation over collaboration, we will be setting a precedent by thrusting politicians and bureaucrats into engineering decisions.” Here's the rub. There is a mechanism for such collaboration. There is an Internet Engineering Task Force, made up of those who understand the inner working of the Internet best. As one of those Net luminaries, David Reed, testified to the FCC at the Cambridge hearing, what Comcast did was outside the bounds of acceptable practice. Collaboration broke down. Privately, some industry executives express nothing but disdain for the IETF, saying that the organization is simply a bunch of engineers with unenforceable standards.
This is where McDowell, in the same op-ed article, got it right: “If they (collaborative groups) can't reach an agreement – which has never happened – then government could examine the situation and act accordingly.” This was just such a case. Despite the attention paid to Comcast, and the less attention paid to Cox, which is using the same techniques, neither company has stopped doing what it was doing – disrupting the traffic of Internet users for the most spurious of reasons. There have been a series of announcements from Comcast about how the company will work with this company or that to “solve” the problem, but a few words about talking of a potential agreement some day won't cut it.
Make no mistake. Despite Comcast's protestations, the complaint against it by Free Press and Public Knowledge showed through the technical work of engineer Robert M. Topolski, that Comcast engaged in this bit “throttling” at all times of the day and night, not simply at peak times when traffic management might be called for. The technique used disguised the “reset” packet to terminate a peer-to-peer session as coming from the users involved, when in fact it came from Comcast.
This proceeding could be the bellwether of FCC actions to come. Next up in this sequence of big network companies pushing their weight around is the petition PK filed to make certain that companies like Verizon can’t discriminate in how they give out access to text messages and short codes.
But that’s another story. On Friday we hope to savor a hard-fought victory – with credit going to the many public interest groups, companies, academics and policymakers and others who have been researching, writing and otherwise evangelizing on these issues for the past nine years. But lest the cable and telephone companies claim that the Comcast decision closes the book on net neutrality and that nothing more is needed from either the Congress or the FCC, don’t be fooled. PK President Gigi Sohn will write about why further action is needed to protect Internet users tomorrow. | 2019-04-19T04:16:34 | https://www.publicknowledge.org/news-blog/blogs/comcast-case-victory-internet |
My brother hunts by himself all the time in the Adirondack Mountains. He Canoes to hunting grounds, parks his canoe and hunts on his own.
I was thinking a PLB would be a good idea. Plus he can use it when we salmon fish Lake Ontario. But hunting would be the #1 use and boating a secondary luxury.
Can anyone give me a little advice?
I have another brother that has the SPOT and hes not entirely thrilled so I'm looking at something other than the SPOT.
I scuba dive a long distance offshore and recently did a lot of digging to decide on a PLB. I went with the McMurdo Fastfind. You can find it for around $200, and it is waterproof. If you do by chance dive, you'll need a canister for it since it is only waterproof to 30 feet. Nice, solid device. Includes a strobe. | 2019-04-19T02:50:42 | https://www.thehulltruth.com/dockside-chat/471200-plb-christmas-gift-help.html |
Birmingham boy Will Stewart is a relative musical aberration. That is to say, after making the move to Nashville for a little while, Stewart picked up and went back to Birmingham. At home in his native land, Stewart is once again getting down to business creating his electric, moody and evocative Southern gothic compositions. | 2019-04-20T13:11:26 | http://www.logicfuzzy.com/2016/08/sounds-of-secret-stages-2016-16-will.html |
Justify your decision as you see fit.
Edwin Encarnacion, He is very young, very good and has a long career ahead of him.
adam dunn.....he is going to be too expensive for the reds. i think he will eventually sign as a free agent with (or perhaps be traded to) one of the big money teams. big money doesn't necessarily translate into wins, but it sure doesn't hurt. i would be surprised if he was with the reds past the length of his current contract.
Brandon Phillips is mine. Good middle infielders tend to last a long time. Phillips is atheletic and only 25. He shows flashes of defensive excellence. As he gets his feet under him, he could turn into a really good defensive player who still has some offensive value and those guys play forever. On the other hand, if he really gets his bat under him with a bit of power and his glove doesn't improve, he could become a Todd Walker type player and...well, those guys are pretty valuable too.
I'd say Bray, because a left handed reliever with a pulse can have a very long career. Either Bray will turn out to be an above average reliever and price himself out of town, or he'll be mediocre and go the journeyman route.

(BBC) — The Duke of Edinburgh is to voluntarily give up his driving licence, Buckingham Palace has said.
The investigation file for the collision has been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service, which said it would take the latest development into account.
BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond, said the decision to give up his licence was entirely down to the duke, according to Buckingham Palace.
“The duke is reported to have acknowledged that the collision last month was his fault,” he said.
In the letter to Ms Fairweather, dated 21 January and reproduced by the Sunday Mirror, the duke acknowledged the “very distressing experience”.
What happens when you surrender your driving licence?
There is no legal age at which motorists must stop driving, however doctors can advise drivers to give up their entitlements.
If a motorist has a medical condition which affects their driving, it may mean they have to give up their licence until they can meet the medical standards to drive again.
If a driver decides to surrender their licence, or they are advised to do so by a doctor, they must write a letter to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), accompanied by the existing licence, or a good excuse for not enclosing it. | 2019-04-23T18:37:38 | https://www.stlucianewsonline.com/prince-philip-97-gives-up-driving-licence/ |
Just when you think it’s Spring, you wake up to a MAJOR FLUFFY WHITE SNOW WORLD! Seems April Fools Day is one day late! Ha! I will never complain about the snow and, as we know, the weather can’t read the calendar. It should be gone by this afternoon though. Crazy weather.
I bet a lot of you are sitting on a pile of beautifully colored hard boiled eggs today. They can be chopped up for egg salad ORRRRR you can “class” them up and make these impressive deviled eggs!
Deviled eggs are so called not because there’s some malevolent creature lurking within – haha. The term “deviled” has been used for hundreds of years to signify spicy or zesty foods. In fact, deviled eggs have been around since the 13th century! An oldie but a goodie.
They’re simple to make and use simple ingredients you probably already have. I’m giving you the most basic version here but you can get really creative with the garnishes. Paprika looks nice but you can spice them up with a sprinkle of cayenne pepper… fresh dill… mix in some chopped chives… or really go to town and mix in some shredded cheddar and bacon crumbles. They’re fail-proof!
What I like even more than how delicious they are, is how elegant they look when presented. There’s an order to a platter of deviled eggs but when you look closely, they’re not identical, which makes them especially joyful to make. You don’t have to be perfect in executing them. When scooping out the yolk, if some doesn’t easily come out, let it be. Better to keep the egg white in tact and it’s still going to taste great. Also you don’t have to go crazy removing all traces of yolk crumbles from the whites on the outside either. Let it be!
They don’t have to be perfect, just like we’re all not perfect BUT, like us, they are SPECTACULAR! No YOLK… you’re going to be EGG-static about them! Ha!
Slice eggs in half long-wise.
Spoon out yolks into a bowl keeping egg whites in tact. Set them aside.
Mix in remaining ingredients, except paprika, until smooth.
Sprinkle with paprika and refrigerate or serve immediately.
To pipe in the mixture, spoon into a zip-top bag. Move mixture down, remove excess air, and seal. Snip 1/4" corner of the bag and proceed to pipe it in!
EGG MOMENT !!! DELISH !!!! from a HAPPY FOOD PERSON !!!
Right on all counts! I get VERY HAPPY with delicious dishes! 🙂 Thanks!

The French have landed…the French have landed. Actually, with regard to California, Taittinger landed in 1987 with Domaine Carneros. Completed in 1989, the château, a gorgeous landmark in the Carneros region is literally at the crossroads of both Napa and Sonoma. The classic 18th century château-style building was architecturally inspired by the historic Taittinger-owned Château de la Marquetterie in Champagne.
Domaine Carneros boasts a couple of interesting firsts: 100% all 350 acres of estate vineyards were Certified Organic Estate Vineyards by 2005; in 2003 the winery installed the largest photovoltaic solar collection system on any winery in the world at the time, and led a series of seminars for other wineries to learn about the technology; founding Winemaker Eileen Crane is the most experienced sparkling winemaker in America, entering her 35th harvest in 2012.
Join us as we talk with Eileen about her wine and culinary background, and the stewardship that both she and the Taittinger family have provided to Domaine Carneros.
Founded in 1840, Domaine Ferret is located in the Mâconnais region of Burgundy, in the commune of Fuissé. Here, half-way between Beaune and Lyon, Chardonnay is Pouilly Fuissé’s only grape variety. While it is the best-known part of the Mâconnais, there are currently no Premier Cru vineyards within the AOC – something Domain Ferret would like to change.
Of all Burgundy’s appellations, Pouilly-Fuissé has the most varied geology. The geological rifts and slopes are more accentuated, the spectrum of rocks present is the most diverse within the Maconnais, and the soils can be poor, made up of hard limestone and even calcite, but they can also be richer clays, based on alluvial marl deposits, schist’s and even volcanic-sedimentary pebbles. More than 330 million years separate the most ancient of these rocks from the most recent deposits. These foundation rocks, located on the eastern fringe of the Beauregard plateau, are made up of limestone deposited by ancient lakes.
A precise knowledge of the region’s most terroirs forms the basis of the parcel by parcel vinification for which the Domaine is known. In particular, the classification of Tête de Cru and Hors Classe were established by Jeanne Ferret. She was among the first to bottle wines at the Domaine. Her daughter, Colette, followed in her footsteps, developing the Domaine’s reputation for excellence. When Louis Jadot acquired the 18-hectare property in 2008, its goal was to continue working in the tradition established by the Ferrets.
Since 1840 Domaine Ferret has had an uninterrupted tradition of women as directors/winemakers, a tradition that has been continued by Audrey Braccini since 2008. Join us as we talk with Audrey, about the geography, the history, and the wines of Domaine Ferret from Pouilly Fuissé. | 2019-04-25T02:55:56 | http://www.graperadio.com/archives/2013/08/ |

Max shares with LifeStyle YOU his top 5 beauty misdemeanours, and how to salvage them in a few simple steps.
Mismatching your foundation shade to your face!
“The one and only place to try is your face,” Max insists. “I always suggest sampling foundation while your skin is as makeup-free as possible. Test the foundation to the side of the mouth onto the chin and along the jaw line to not only make sure it matches your natural skin colour but blends out flawlessly into your neck,” he says.
Using cosmetic brushes daily. Cleaning them never.
“Like washing your hair you need to clean your brushes,” advises Max. The build-up of products deep in the bristle of the brush breeds bacteria that can result in breakouts as well as affecting the overall colours and finishes of the products you apply. “I simply wash my brushes using a baby shampoo from Johnson & Johnson,” Max says. “It’s gentle on the bristles but strong enough to lift oily build-up.” Max advises completely rinsing any brush cleaner through, then lay them down on a dry towel to dry so the water doesn’t destroy the glue that binds the bristles together.
Slacking off on body moisturiser post-shower.
Applying mascara to lacklustre lashes.
Caking on fake tan. Forgetting to clean it off.
Removing your old tan before applying a new one is essential when wanting a flawless professional finish, Max insists. “The more layers that are left on the skin, the more inconsistent your tan will wear,” he says. “Cleaning the skin of your old fake tan will allow the skin to accept better and hold the new one.” Add a cup or two of Bi-Carb Soda to a bath and soak the areas you want to re-spray for 15 -20 minutes, advises Max.“Conclude with a good body exfoliation to loosen any stubborn patches. | 2019-04-19T00:34:41 | https://www.lifestyle.com.au/style/5-beauty-mistakes-to-never-make-again.aspx |
Pointer to an access_config_reg_t structure.
This function allows a client to read or write a PC Card Configuration Register.
May be set to CONFIG_REG_READ or CONFIG_REG_WRITE. All other values in the Action field are reserved for future use. If the Action field is set to CONFIG_REG_WRITE, the Value field is written to the specified configuration register. Card Services does not read the configuration register after a write operation. For that reason, the Value field is only updated by a CONFIG_REG_READ request.
Specifies the byte offset for the desired configuration register from the PC Card configuration register base specified in csx_RequestConfiguration(9F).
Contains the value read from the PC Card Configuration Register for a read operation. For a write operation, the Value field contains the value to write to the configuration register. As noted above, on return from a write request, the Value field is the value written to the PC Card and not any changed value that may have resulted from the write request (that is, no read after write is performed).
A client must be very careful when writing to the COR (Configuration Option Register) at offset 0. This has the potential to change the type of interrupt request generated by the PC Card or place the card in the reset state. Either request may have undefined results. The client should read the register to determine the appropriate setting for the interrupt mode (Bit 6) before writing to the register.
If a client wants to reset a PC Card, the csx_ResetFunction(9F) function should be used. Unlike csx_AccessConfigurationRegister(), the csx_ResetFunction(9F) function generates a series of event notifications to all clients using the PC Card, so they can re-establish the appropriate card state after the reset operation is complete.
Specified arguments are invalid. Client specifies an Offset that is out of range or neither CONFIG_REG_READ or CONFIG_REG_WRITE is set.
Client has not called csx_RequestConfiguration(9F) before calling this function. | 2019-04-25T04:09:29 | https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23823_01/html/816-5180/csx-accessconfigurationregister-9f.html |

Our core technology forms the foundation of our products and solutions. Our range of capabilities include the development of Collaborative Robots, Autonomous Mobile Robots, Motion Control, Direct Drive Technology and Precision Robotics.
Motion control is the mastery of position, speed and acceleration related to the system of moving parts of a machine. The field of motion control provides the means to move objects in a controlled manner, whether through precise rotary or linear motion. Since the movement of physical objects, parts and components are involved, the technology requires more precision and reliability than other disciplines.
Built to be compact, our motion control systems are designed from the highest material quality. It performs with high throughput, dynamic speed and positional accuracy to deliver high precision and reliability. When coupled with our Direct Drive technology motors and actuators, it delivers optimal efficiency, producing minimal friction and noise.
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are robotic vehicles used to move and transport materials across production environments. These smart robots use data from cameras, built-in sensors and software which enables it to detect, navigate and adapt to changing environments and production requirements to choose the most efficient route.
Highly flexible, manoeuvrable and adaptive, our AMRs can easily be integrated with existing systems and operate within dynamic and changing production layouts. Our proprietary Fleet Management System/Warehouse Automation Software allows for easy deployment and management of multiple AMRs within a specified area. Equipped with LIDAR and encoded motion, our robots are built to operate in narrow aisles and alongside workers, ensuring safe, smooth and lean operations.
Collaborative robots (cobots) are designed to operate and work alongside humans in a shared workspace. They are built to perform highly repetitive, labour-intensive and potentially-hazardous tasks, operating to complement and help the human operators within the same workspace, compared with industrial robots which are typically large, high-cost machines designed to work autonomously and reside in isolation from humans for safety reasons.
Our HCR cobot series is easy to set-up and integrate into your current workflow. Highly flexible, these cobots are built to perform a wide range of applications and adapt to the constraints of any production layout. Our user-friendly operation software, “RODI” allows you to intuitively control the robot and its peripheral systems, without having any prior technical or programming expertise. With built-in safety features such as collision detection and impact mitigation, our cobots are designed with the safely of human operators in mind.
Precision robotics is used for applications where repeatability and high accuracy is required. Powered by electromagnetic fields as compared to mechanical force, our precision robotics technology is of the ultra-precision grade (5-10 microns), more accurate than general industry standards (20-30 microns).
Our linear motors, a product of our direct drive technology, highlights of our expertise in the field of a 3-stage precision robotic—an XYZ-axis movement with ultra-precision robotics along all 3 axes.
We also produce XYZ theta stages and other customized stages according to application-specific requirements. Our wide range of positioning stages and actuators for linear, rotary and vertical motion as well as combinations of multiple axes have been deployed across various industries and applications.
Our machine algorithm software transmits real-time production throughput into an existing MRP system. These on-demand data can be pushed to a cloud platform for easy, on-demand remote monitoring. This capability allows you to forecast equipment malfunctions, anticipate downtime, streamline and synchronise production flow to optimize the inventory management at every station of your production line, without the constraint of being physically present onsite.

As dynamic software architecture use becomes more widespread, a variety of formal specification languages have been developed to gain a better understanding of the foundations of this type of software evolutionary change. In this paper we survey 14 formal specification approaches based on graphs, process algebras, logic, and other formalisms. Our survey will evaluate the ability of each approach to specify self-managing systems as well as the ability to address issues regarding expressiveness and scalability. Based on the results of our survey we will provide recommendations on future directions for improving the specification of dynamic software architectures, specifically self-managed architectures. | 2019-04-19T12:14:52 | http://www.sqrlab.ca/publications/woss2004/ |
The CW’s iZombie is probably my favorite new show of this year. Adapted from the Vertigo comics by Veronica Mars‘s Rob Thomas, it follows recently turned Zombie Liv Moore (geddit?) as she… well… as she fights crime. It’s a little bit Veronica Mars, a little bit Buffy, and a whole lot of fun.
Well, good news for all fans of quality television, as iZombie has officially been renewed for a second season.
Considering The CW has already pretty much renewed everything else under the sun, it seems like getting on that channel is like finding the golden ticket for a show these days. | 2019-04-21T00:12:40 | http://www.nerdandtie.com/2015/05/07/izombie-gets-a-second-season/ |

You might have seen the high neck and v-neck cropped vests that I knit from Debbie Bliss Cotton Denim DK in charcoal earlier this year. Both were original designs that I worked up myself, and both were really successful. I was able to get the shaping that I wanted in my pattern-writing, which I see as a huge win! However, while each of them turned out kind of how I wanted, they were both lacking something in terms of fit.
The high neck vest was too large around the back, and I found myself constantly pulling it up, while the v-neck was too short in the body and I found myself constantly pulling it down! I thought I might be able to get by with them, but having not worn either more than once, I thought it was time to put sentiment aside and make something that I was absolutely going to use.
So I set about frogging both of my lovingly knit vests, and I learned a huge lesson about focusing on practicality and wearability in my work, as opposed to emotion. I still wanted to make a vest, but this time I chose to create one garment from the two balls of yarn I had, so I could guarantee better coverage and comfort.
As my style has evolved over recent months, I wanted something with a casual, looser fit that would be easy to throw on when the warmer weather is with us. Again, I decided to wing it myself with an improv pattern design, one that I didn’t even write down this time, and the result was great.
I think the length is perfect for my style (I’m still all about the crop), but I love the wider straps and the scooped neckline. It looks great paired with jeans and trainers, and it’ll take me into autumn layered under my cropped leather jacket with a pair of ankle boots.
I have to say that I’m really quite grateful for how smoothly my improv knitting work has been going! While the first two vests didn’t quite work out, I learned a lot from them about pattern designing, fit and style, and I know it’s knowledge I’ll put to good use in the future.
Have you guys experimented with improv knits? What lessons have you learnt? I’d love to know how you’ve got on!
Hi Catherine! I actually just made this pattern up as I went along, so I didn’t use any resources for the shaping, and unfortunately didn’t write down my technique to share with you. As far as I can remember, the main part of the body is knit straight in the round, and I then cast off stitches for the underarms and continued to work the back and the front separately.
For the front, I knit until the body was long enough for what I wanted and cast off stitches in the middle, then continued each side, decreasing evenly at the neck edge to curve for the straps.
For the back I continued to decrease at the armhole edges to create a bit of shaping, then knit straight until it was as long as the front (I think!). I then cast off the stitches in the middle, leaving the same number as were left for the front straps on each side to sew the shoulder seams together.
I hope that helps somewhat with what you’re trying to create, and please don’t hesitate to ask any further questions you might have! | 2019-04-24T20:43:19 | https://knitsplease.co.uk/third-time-lucky-with-debbie-bliss-cotton-denim-dk/ |
As one of Houston's hottest neighborhoods, the Heights has a reputation for being where to go when you're looking for the best things to eat, buy, and do in the city. The area — which extends roughly from Shepherd to I-45 and from I-10 to I-610 north, just northeast of downtown — boasts so many edgy, innovative, and highly rated eateries, it can be hard to pick a favorite. Thankfully, you don't have to. Whether you're looking for a great place to brunch, celebrate, or grab a quick bite, these are the best places to eat in the Houston Heights.
Located on iconic Heights Boulevard just off the Heights hike and bike trail, Revival Market is a locavore's dream. All of the meat here is sustainably sourced, free from antibiotics and pasture-raised — much of it here in Texas. While the real star is the meat, the cafe has a full menu for breakfast and lunch seven days a week that features food prepared with seasonal ingredients and artisanal products from local producers, as well as a coffee bar with a range of pastries — including some dairy- and gluten-free options.
If you like what you eat, Revival Market is a fully functioning butcher shop, ready to slice you up whatever cuts and weights you want of beef, chicken, pork, lamb, and even some wild game.
It's harder to find better comfort food than at Lee's Fried Chicken and Donuts. In addition to its namesake dishes, this diner offers heart-warming (clogging?) sides like sour cream mashed potatoes with spicy bacon and jalapeño gravy, creamed corn, and bread rolls served with butter and honey. When you're done enjoying a few pieces of the crunchy, tender pieces of their signature bone-in chicken and mouth-watering sides, you can wash it all down with some fresh-brewed ice tea — and a Mexican chocolate donut for good measure.
While the calorie count might be high, patrons can take comfort knowing all of the restaurant's chicken is American Humane Certified and raised free of antibiotics, hormones, and growth stimulants.
As bar and grills go, Cedar Creek is as laid-back and family-friendly as they come. The spacious restaurant features both a full menu and bar with quality-made versions of American and Tex-Mex classics like crispy tacos, Frito pies, and pulled pork sandwiches.
Ample space both inside and out provide more than enough seating even when it gets busy — and it does get pretty busy. Weekends bring in Houstonians of all kinds, from families to book clubs to sports fans. Kids, especially, love to tromp over the little bridge that connects the restaurant's patio with its parking lot and spot turtles often swimming in the creek below.
As far as spoons go, Yale St. Grill is about as greasy as it gets. This old-school diner/antique shop has a menu full of diner classics, including tuna melts, Coke floats, and apple pie. In addition to booths and tables, you can sit at a long bar and chat with the friendly staff when business is slow. Come the weekend, however, Yale St. Grill fills to the brim with patrons chowing down on French toast, bacon, and black-as-night coffee. In an area known for its trendiness and hipsters, Yale St. is a nod to old-school Americana.
Torchy's Tacos might call Austin its first home, but Houstonians have embraced it with open arms. And who could really blame them? This quirky taco shop offers a wide selection of flavor combos with eyebrow-raising names like the "Mr. Orange" (a blackened salmon taco with grilled corn and black bean relish, cheese, and cilantro) or the "Alabama Shake" (a cornmeal-crusted catfish taco, complete with cojita cheese and poblano slaw).
Its true claim to fame, however, is having some of the best queso in Houston. The melted cheese is infused with green chiles and topped with a touch of cilantro and diablo sauce. Served up with a big basket of Torchy's house-made chips, its signature queso can be a meal all on its own.
In a city where summer lasts practically year round, great hot dog places are a must. Good Dog satisfies the desire for a picnic barbecue 12 months a year with its wide selection of gourmet hot dogs. Its owners promise to "buy it local or make it by hand," and Good Dog doesn't disappoint. Condiments are all made in house from scratch, the meat and buns are locally sourced, and even the beers it serves are local craft brews. When you're ready for dessert, try one of the hand-spun milkshakes, made in an old-school malt machine using Fat Cat Creamery ice cream.
One of two in the Houston area, its Heights location is on Studewood near the Woodland Heights and offers a modest amount of both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as adjacent parking.
On the other end of the Heights, Fat Cat Creamery is a neighborhood institution, beloved by neighbors and visitors alike. The small shop nearly always has a line out the door, especially on weekend nights when the weather is warm. Like many Heights mainstays, Fat Cat tries to use local ingredients for everything it makes. The dairy used to churn its rich, creamy frozen desserts, for example, comes from Mill-King Creamery in McGregor, Texas. The dedication to sustainability extends to its packaging, as well. Even its spoons are made from bio-plastics and cornstarch.
Fat Cat's menu features some year-round favorite flavors like Mexican vanilla and coffee and cream, but it also rotates in a number of fun seasonal flavors — including more than a few made with booze (locally sourced, of course).
In a neighborhood as trendy as this one, Eight Row Flint fits right in. This open-air cocktail bar is a magnet for the area's hipsters and happy hour enthusiasts — as well as pretty much anyone who loves a good whiskey with a side of tacos.
While the whiskey flights Eight Flint is known for are certainly a must-try, the carbonated cocktails and frozen drinks are worth a shot as well (no pun intended). Soak it up with some small bites from its dedicated taco truck like the Brussels sprouts tacos or charro bean nachos. Then sit back, and enjoy a relaxing time in the always interesting Houston Heights. | 2019-04-24T10:15:29 | https://www.tripsavvy.com/where-to-eat-in-the-houston-heights-4161111 |
Back in the 1992 presidential election campaign, James Carville, Bill Clinton’s chief campaign strategist, coined the slogan “It’s the economy, stupid.” Maybe an effective variation of that slogan would work well for candidates in today’s political environment–one like “it’s the environment, stupid.” Many politicians tell us that if we just change the environment in which people live, then everyone will do what is right, and we will live in peace and harmony with one another. To them that means we need to redistribute the wealth; we need to give everyone a free secular education; we need to stop climate change; and we need to let everyone live the lifestyle they so choose. But as we will learn in today’s lesson, “It’s not the environment, stupid.” It is the sin nature of men and women that causes most of our problems. In Revelation 20, we will see that even in a perfect environment – one that lasts 1000 years – men, at the end of that millennium, will show their true nature as they join Satan in a rebellion against their Creator and King. | 2019-04-24T16:10:24 | http://www.calvarychapeloflafayette.org/podcast/revelation-204-15-its-not-the-environment-stupid/ |

Lockdown drills require teachers to lock the classroom door(s), turn off the lights, open the shades, and gather the students in an area of the room that isn't visible from the hallway. Critiqued, criticized and questioned at every turn (well, not every turn, but consider that this rant is tempered for dramatic flair) until I wanted to throw my hands up and shout, "All right, then, I'll go to hell". Well, the simple answer is 'no'. I think not. It seems to me that both approaches are acceptable and reflective of the various personalities, comfort levels and beliefs of the teachers involved. I did a little research and only found research articles and opinion pieces that favored open, continual communication between parents and teachers. Other teachers prefer to keep contact within the confines of the school day. Mothers' day is near and it is the most important day for our mothers in this world. | 2019-04-19T06:55:02 | https://airsoft-zakon.at.ua/forum/2-51645-1 |

Between 1979 and 2003, the Max Schmidheiny Foundation awarded the Max Schmidheiny Freedom Prize to persons or institutions from the world over who have rendered exceptional services to the preservation and further development of a free social and economic order.
In accordance with its aims, the foundation has therefore fostered exceptional scientific, political and entrepreneurial initiatives and services that are dedicated to the preservation of individual freedom and responsibility.
The tradition of presenting a prize at the St. Gallen Symposium at the University St. Gallen highlighted the close ties between the founder and the University, and also the International Students’ Committee (ISC) St. Gallen – ties that live on to the current day. | 2019-04-26T16:16:36 | http://www.max-schmidheiny.foundation/page/en/freiheitspreis/ |
