There will be several big issues in communications that will drive attention and action from the Commerce Committees of both Houses of Congress.
Net neutrality supporters had hoped the issue could be a major factor in the midterms. But it didn't work out that way.
If Amazon’s marketing department wrote and produced a segment on their AI technology for NPR, it’s difficult to see how it would have been any different.
We set out to rank the websites—not apps (like Instagram), not services (like PayPal)—that influenced the very nature of the internet, changed the world, stole ideas better than anyone, pioneered a genre, or were just really important to us. | 2019-04-19T06:23:15 | https://portside.org/2018-11-27/media-bits-and-bytes-november-27-2018 |
Ultra Mirage™ full face CPAP mask with headgear has been one of the best full face CPAP masks released by ResMed. It has a proven history of providing a great seal and optimal comfort for CPAP users that mouth breath and need a full face mask.
Forehead support has four adjustment positions to optimize seal and comfort.
Flexible forehead pads conform to the contour of the your forehead to enhance stability and comfort.
Proven Mirage cushion technology provides an excellent seal without tight headgear so you don't have to face pressure sores and discomfort.

Top and bottom headgear clips make putting the mask on and taking it off fast and easy so you have less fuss and more confidence.
Superior airflow and built-in air vents provide excellent CO2 washout to ensure effective therapy, even at low pressures.
I have used this mask since 2008. I have tried masks that the supplier forced on me and have always gone back. The headgear needs to be replaced more often. mask is GREAT.
I've used this mask for 10 years and have only broken a couple of parts because I wasn't shown the correct way to fit them. I've only ever had to replace the silicone parts and headgear. I'm now thrying to work out whether to try one of the new masks or stick with the one I know so well.
Used a number of full face masks in last 15 years. This one by far the most durable and best seal of them all. I use it at 14, and have zero leaks. Would be nice if it had fewer parts to clean, but with current mask having over 23000 hours sleep time on it, can't really complain too much. Have had to replace rubber parts as should be expected, but other than that, only thing I replaces was nose piece at the clip.
ResMed Ultra Mirage™ Full Face CPAP Mask Headgear. Designed to work with the Ultra Mirage Full Face series of CPAP masks. CPAP mask headgear should be repalced every 3-6 months or as needed. | 2019-04-19T21:08:27 | https://www.1800cpap.com/resmed-ultra-mirage-full-face-cpap-mask-and-headgear.aspx?variation=9067 |
Most of our users requested for “Enrique Iglesias” themes. Here is Enrique Iglesias theme for Nokia C3 & X2-01. I used default icons in this theme. This is a simple and static theme. Many celebrities themes are already online. I hope you all will like this theme.
‘Enrique Iglesias (born Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler or “‘Patrick Smet'”; May 8, 1975) is a Spanish pop music singer. Iglesias started his musical career on Mexican label Fonovisa. This helped turn him into one of the most popular artists in Latin America and in the Hispanic American market in the United States, and the biggest seller of Spanish language albums of the 1990s. Before the turn of the millennium, he made a crossover into the mainstream English language market, signing a unique multi-album deal with Universal Music Group for an unprecedented US$48,000,000, with Universal Music Latino to release his Spanish albums and Interscope to release English albums. In 2010, he parted with Interscope and signed with another Universal Music Group label, Universal Republic. | 2019-04-24T12:50:38 | https://www.themereflex.com/enrique-iglesias-theme-for-nokia-c3-x2-01.html |

Creators of "The House with a Clock in Its Walls"
Critics Of "The House with a Clock in Its Walls"
September 27, 2018 The House With A Clock In Its Walls is charming and is certainly entertaining enough for families, with young children. It just doesn't quite hold up to other children horror-fantasies, despite having some really great ingredients.
September 26, 2018 It's an unusual recipe for a PG-rated kids' flick, but it works.
September 21, 2018 It runs out of steam at about the midway point and falls victim to clumsy, overcooked plotting. It's fun for a while, until it becomes more trick than treat.
September 20, 2018 A likably cast, mildly diverting Halloween appetizer that serviceably channels early Harry Potter.
September 20, 2018 Despite its special effects and two proven stars, "The House With a Clock in Its Walls" never manages to create the magic we keep hoping will materialize.
September 27, 2018 It has all the appearances of being a family Halloween dream, but director Eli Roth fails to keep The House with a Clock in Its Walls ticking over.
September 20, 2018 The short-term excitement of jump-scares and readily accessible spells are a poor trade-off for the steadily deepening mysteries and fears that have made Bellairs' book such an enduring classic.
September 21, 2018 A fantastical adventure, dandy ode to weirdos, and accessible anti-war allegory for all ages, especially 10-year-old boys.
September 20, 2018 The House With a Clock in its Walls is a bullseye, perfectly balanced between funny and scary.
September 26, 2018 Each of the following statements are true: 1) Eli Roth made a film based on a 1973 children's novel. 2) The film stars Jack Black. 3) It's a blast. Who knew?
September 27, 2018 Ultimately, the success of THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN THE WALL depends upon young Vaccaro --- and he delivers!

The reality of the 5th struck me halfway through the afternoon: the car park at Lewes station shuts at 5pm and day 1 of the conference shuts at 5pm too. I contemplated possible quantum solutions, but to no avail. Luckily the Flash on the Beach organisers came to my rescue. The 4-5pm session on Tuesday, by Joshua Davis hadn’t looked very interesting, so John Davey kindly swapped it with the Monday one, and so I was able to leave early without missing anything important to me. Not sure how the organisers knew I needed them swapped, but thanks anyway.
One of the the two sessions I attended in the afternoon was Carole Guevin‘s session on Self Promotion, which was OK, but nothing exciting. The other was a very impressive speaker, Hoss Gifford, singing his own praises. He ran through a bunch of projects that he had been involved with. and went into what had gone on behind the scenes. Neither was particularly informative to a software developer, but both were thought provoking.
I’ll end this post with a thought for you: do you know everything? If not then you ignorant. This of course means we are all ignorant, so why does the word carry so much negative baggage?
Joshua Davis’ presentation was probably one of the best of the conference… whoops!
One of my criticisms of Flash on the Beach 07 was the number of “speakers” who were doing little more than showing off what they had designed. But I’m very much a developer who does bits of design, so I’m likely in a very small minority amongst those there. I saw Robert’s work the next day and loved it, but that was enough admiring others’ work for me for the whole conference. | 2019-04-22T22:32:09 | http://www.davidarno.org/2007/11/06/flash-on-the-beach-day-1-part-2/ |
A new Android and iOS app called DataDay aims to help guide people with early dementia or mild cognitive impairment through their daily activities.
DataDay was developed by Canadian dementia researcher Dr. Arlene Astell alongside people with dementia. Meanwhile, Canadian aging and technology network Age-Well supported research and Toronto’s Centre for Aging + Brain Health Innovation (CABHI) financed the technical development of the app and related data portal with assistance from UK-based New Dynamics of Aging.
DataDay uses a combination of audio, text and visual prompts to remind users to carry out certain activities, such as taking medications and going to appointments.
The app also captures information related to cognition, mood and physical activity to remind users what they’ve done and log any changes in their condition.
According to Astell, DataDay is designed for patients with a range of types of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia. Astell says the idea is to capture accurate information on how a patient is doing to help users, caregivers and clinicians determine if additional health services are needed. Astell says she hopes this will cut down on emergency room visits.
Astell and her team are beginning to beta test the app in Ontario’s Durham region with patients of local memory assessment clinics. These clinics will be able to monitor their patients through the DataDay portal.
Once the early rollout in Durham concludes in March 2019, the team plans to make DataDay widely available through memory clinics. A French version is also in the works. | 2019-04-22T17:57:54 | https://mobilesyrup.com/2018/10/17/canada-data-day-early-dementia-mild-cognitive-impairment/ |

Drumkeerin priest thinks new mass liturgy could be "disastrous"
DRUMKEERIN'S Parish Priest Very Rev Gerard Alwill has come out publicly to state that he feels the new English translation of the liturgy, which is due to be introduced later this year, "could be disastrous."
Fr Alwill spoke to the Leitrim Observer this week following the conference of the Association of Catholic Priests which received national attention at the weekend.
A variety of changes to the current missal, including changes to prayers such as the Confiteur, The Gloria and The Creed will come into effect this year, but Fr Alwill is one of many priests calling for the introduction to be deferred.
He said he thinks it will effect the elderly and the very young the most, but overall he is "afraid it will turn people off coming to mass." | 2019-04-24T14:50:11 | https://www.leitrimobserver.ie/news/local-news/86624/Drumkeerin-priest-thinks-new-mass-liturgy.html |

11551. Excess payments; certification. If the board determines that any amount, penalty, or interest has been paid more than once or has been erroneously or illegally collected or computed, the board shall set forth that fact in the records of the board and shall certify the amount collected in excess of the amount legally due and the person from whom it was collected or by whom paid. The excess amount collected or paid shall be credited by the board on any amounts then due and payable from the person from whom the excess amount was collected or by whom it was paid under this part, and the balance shall be refunded to the person, or his or her successors, administrators, or executors. Any proposed determination by the board pursuant to this section with respect to an amount in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) shall be available as a public record for at least 10 days prior to the effective date of that determination.
History.—Added by Stats. 1979, Ch. 516, in effect January 1, 1980. Stats. 1987, Ch. 498, in effect January 1, 1988, added "or her" after "his" in the second sentence of the first paragraph; and substituted "fifteen" for "five" after "exceeding", substituted "($15,000)" for "($5,000)" after "dollars", and added "or her" after "his" in the first sentence of the second paragraph. Stats. 1994, Ch. 726, in effect September 22, 1994, deleted "to the State Board of Control" after "and shall certify" in the first sentence; substituted "The" for "If approved by the State Board of Control, the" before "excess" in the second sentence; added the third sentence; and deleted the second paragraph which read: "In the case, however, of a determination by the board that an amount not exceeding fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) was not required to be paid under this part, the board without obtaining approval of the State Board of Control may credit the amount on any amounts then due and payable under this part from the person by whom the amount was paid and may refund the balance to the person or his or her successors, administrators, or executors." Stats. 2011, Ch. 351 (SB 947), in effect January 1, 2012, substituted "fifty" for "fifteen" after "excess of" and substituted "($50,000)" for "($15,000)" after "thousand dollars" in the third sentence of the first paragraph.
11553. Time for filing claims. No credit or refund shall be allowed after four years from December 10 of the year in which the assessment is made or after six months from the date of overpayment, whichever period expires the later, unless a written claim is filed with the board within such period.
History.—Stats. 1957, p. 2022, in effect September 11, 1957, substantially revised this section, which formerly provided for a limitation of three years from the "date of overpayment." Stats. 1974, Ch. 54, p. 121, in effect January 1, 1975, substituted "four" for "three", and substituted "December 10" for "the first Monday in August".
11553.5. Filing extension; disability. (a) The limitation period specified in Section 11553 shall be suspended during any period of a person's life that the person is financially disabled.
(2) A person shall not be treated as financially disabled during any period that the person's spouse or any other person is authorized to act on behalf of the person in financial matters.
History.—Added by Stats. 2000, Ch. 1052 (AB 2898), in effect January 1, 2001.
11554. Form and content of claim. The claim shall be in writing and shall state the specific grounds upon which it is founded.
(a) In the case of a refund, to the last day of the calendar month following the date upon which the person making the overpayment, if he or she has not already filed a claim, is notified by the board that a claim may be filed or the date upon which the claim is approved by the board, whichever date is the earlier.
History.—Added by Stats. 1972, p. 2530, in effect March 7, 1973. Stats. 1974, Ch. 54, p. 121, in effect January 1, 1975, substituted "upon the amount of any overpayment" for "upon any overpayment of any amount", and added "from the first day of the month following the month the tax becomes due" at the end of the first sentence after "board"; and added the second sentence and subdivisions (a) and (b) thereof. Stats. 1975, Ch. 661, p. 1432, in effect January 1, 1976, substituted "1 percent" for "one-half of 1 percent" in the first sentence.

Stats. 1996, Ch. 1087, in effect January 1, 1997, substituted "Section 19521" for "Section 19269" after "established pursuant to" in the first sentence; substituted "he or she" for "he" in subdivision (a).
Note.—Section 76 of Stats. 1975, Ch. 661, provided that notwithstanding Section 2231 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, there shall be no reimbursement pursuant to this section nor shall there be any appropriation made by this act because this act contains a revenue source which may be utilized by local governments to cover the cost of the mandate. Sec. 78 thereof provided that the interest rate change in this act shall apply to all interest accrued on or after January 1, 1976.

Railroad revitalization and regulatory reform act.—In action under the Act, railroad car companies' offer of district court's prior stipulated order enjoining collection of more than 59.6% of taxes assessed, as sole evidence of Board discrimination, would not support grant of preliminary injunction to limit 1986 tax and prevent collection of portion of that tax based on Board's higher valuation of true market value. ACF Industries v. State Board of Equalization, 653 F.Supp. 390.
11572. Necessity for refund claim. No suit or proceeding shall be maintained in any court for the recovery of any amount alleged to have been erroneously or illegally assessed or collected unless a claim for refund or credit has been duly filed.

Scope of Review.—In an action for refund of taxes paid on railroad flatcars, the trial court utilized the proper standards of review where it applied the substantial evidence test of review to all questions of fact, including the Board's application of valuation methods to the flatcars, and it applied the independent judgment test of review to the question of law posed by the lessor's challenge of the valuation method itself. Trailer Train Company v. State Board of Equalization, 180 Cal.App.3d 565.
11573. Action for refund; limitation. Within 90 days after the mailing of the notice of the board's action upon a claim for refund or credit, the claimant may bring an action against the board on the grounds set forth in the claim in a court of competent jurisdiction in any city or city and county of this State in which the Attorney General has an office for the recovery of the whole or any part of the amount with respect to which the claim has been disallowed.
History.—Original section provided that no action may be brought more than 90 days after payment of amount sought to be recovered. Stats. 1949, p. 1342, in effect October 1, 1949, extended the limitation period from 90 days to one year. Stats. 1957, p. 2022, in effect September 11, 1957, completely revised the section to read as above.
11574. When refund claim not acted upon. If the board fails to mail notice of action on a claim within six months after the claim is filed, the claimant may, prior to the mailing of notice by the board, consider the claim disallowed and bring an action against the board on the grounds set forth in the claim for the recovery of the whole or any part of the amount claimed as an overpayment.
History.—Original section provided that court shall not consider any grounds of illegality other than those set forth in the protest. Stats. 1957, p. 2022, in effect September 11, 1957, completely changed subject matter of the section.
11574.5. Failure to bring timely suit. Failure to bring suit or action within the time specified in this article constitutes a waiver of all demands against the State on account of any alleged overpayments.
History.—Added by Stats. 1957, p. 2022, in effect September 11, 1957.
11576. Interest. In any judgment, interest shall be allowed at the adjusted annual rate established pursuant to Section 19521 upon the amount found to have been illegally collected from the date of payment of the amount to the date of allowance of credit on account of the judgment or to a date preceding the date of the refund warrant by not more than 30 days, the date to be determined by the board.
History.—Stats. 1945, p. 1003, in effect September 15, 1945, substituted "board" for "Controller". Stats. 1975, Ch. 661, p. 1432, in effect January 1, 1976, substituted "12 percent" for "6 percent".

Any proposed determination by the board pursuant to this section with respect to an amount in excess of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) shall be available as a public record for at least 10 days prior to the effective date of that determination.

Contentment: Does it Equal Happiness?
Are you “content” with what you have?
Do you feel grateful for all the good things in your life right now?
Do you want nothing more than what you have - or who you are - today?
Or, are you frustrated, or even “unhappy”, because you want more?
Some people believe the only way to be happy is to be content with what you have, without wanting more.
Inherent in that philosophy is the belief that if you want more, you can never be happy since, if you aren’t content with what you have now, you will always want more – regardless of what you achieve or get in life. And what is contentment anyway?
This was the topic recently at our church in Newport Beach, California. It was intertwined with the subjects of abundance versus scarcity mentalities (which is discussed in several other articles on this website and in the BeHappy! Newsletter). And from a “religious” perspective, it seems contentment is important – with the belief that God will provide everything you need in life.
So, while there is undoubtedly some truth to the “contentment” philosophy of happiness, it really depends on what you really need in your life to be truly and totally happy.
For example, if you have a small 500 square foot home, an old Toyota that works “most of the time”, a job that just pays the bills – and you want or need nothing more than this to really be happy in your life – then perhaps you might be quite “content” AND happy.
Beyond that, though, how does this contentment philosophy get balanced with the desire to improve your life – and provide a better life for your family (in other words – wanting more)?
How does it create positive expectations for the future – which is a key component of creating the happiest possible life (the fundamental goal of this BeHappy! system)?
This is quite a complex issue – and, I believe, it’s not so “cut-and-dry”.
Is it bad, for example, to want to someday move from that 500 square foot house into a new 5,000 square foot home?
Is it terrible to want a brand new Lexus, Mercedes, or Porsche rather than stay with that 1985 Toyota? Should you not want to expand your career and get a job that not only pays the bills, but also provides surplus income that allows you certain luxuries like travel, nicer clothes, the best education possible for your children, and some nice furnishings for that 5,000 square foot home?
I believe the answer is … you can have both – contentment and wants or desires. Many people, including me, call them goals. That is, you can be content with what you have AND strive for a better life – yes, even want certain material possessions (like a nicer and bigger house, a new car, and more “toys”). Maybe you want to contribute more. Perhaps you even want financial freedom. None of these things are bad ... they can all relate to happiness, though.
Gratitude is certainly a key to happiness in life. And, you can be grateful for what you have – and need nothing more. The fact is, you can also want more at the same time – without being unhappy. You can (and should) have goals. Happiness and desiring more are, therefore, not mutually exclusive.
Many people feel these two things are contradictory. They think that, if you want more than you have, you will never be happy since, once you get what you want, you just want more.
Again, this gets complicated. And the difficult part is to train your mind – both consciously and subconsciously – to gain pleasure from both, Gratitude AND Goals.
That is - be GRATEFUL for what you have (with a mindset of abundance) - AND simultaneously have GOALS (which will create positive expectations for the future) … and you will BeHappy!
Just make sure you have both – Gratitude AND Goals (G2). If one is missing, you’ll either never be able to make your life better or you’ll never have enough – and always feel like you need more.
It’s best to work on the Gratitude component first. This will eliminate "unhappiness" and lead you to complete "contentment".
There are many ways to be more grateful – and even become a grateful person.
First, my FREE Happiness Formula Course will take you there step-by-step.
Just fill out the boxes to the right and get your free course now.
Once you’ve started to develop the “habit” of being grateful (don’t worry – it could take a while for it to be “automatic”) you should then focus on becoming goal-oriented in your quest for a better quality of life.
First, click here for an introduction to goal-setting. Then, use the links in that introduction to start a series of goal-setting articles designed to help you set and achieve the goals you need to improve your life and BeHappy!
There is much more on these topics – and several other related ones – throughout BeHappy101.com, so explore them all.
In the meantime, start working on the first ‘G’ - Gratitude - by getting your free Happiness Formula Video course and by clicking on each of the links above. You will quickly start feeling a difference in your emotional state and your entire outlook on life. This is especially true and effective during difficult times like we all experience in life.
The bottom line to all this is that contentment and wanting more are not mutually exclusive. In fact, I believe to BeHappy! - and lead the happiest possible life - we MUST have both. | 2019-04-22T12:08:48 | http://www.behappy101.com/contentment.html |
Another disaster has struck, this time in Haa. Earlier today, a fire raged through the upper market in Haa. Four houses were totally destroyed before the fire was bought under control. Residents suspect that the fire was caused by electrical problems.
By mid-afternoon, His Majesty the King was already in Haa.
My prayers for the victims to have strength to overcome this tragedy!
From the pictures I’ve seen, it seems these houses were the ones near Katsho school.
When I was a little child (1991-92), this place used to be called “the upper market”; I don’t know if it’s still called that. Although I stayed near the erstwhile Haa Junior High School, I would walk all the way across town to go there and buy stuff we would otherwise not get in any other shop in Haa town.
They were a line of imposing buildings and I remember they had a 3-tier window system in all. It’s like a landmark of Haa has been wiped off. It saddens me to think I won’t see them if I go to Haa next time.
Kudos to all who helped the families come to terms with this unfortunate incident. | 2019-04-21T04:43:43 | http://www.tsheringtobgay.com/towns/2009/haa-fire.html |

The greatest wines of the world are produced where a grape varietal finds the ideal conditions to express itself in a natural and authentic way. At Bodega Garzón, they are guided by a philosophy to fully express their unique terroir with wines that are pure, have distinct tension, and a vitality that leads to delicious drinkability.
Bodega Garzón is close to Punta del Este, La Barra, and Jose Ignacio - Uruguayan Paradise at its best with mesmerizing landscapes. Located eleven miles from the Atlantic Ocean, the estate has more than 1,000 small vineyard blocks covering its hillside slopes that benefit from varying microclimates, different levels of humidity, and intense canopy management. These factors allow the vines to develop with maximum exposure to the sun providing rich, expressive fruit. The vineyards are surrounded by a lush forest, rocky soils, boulders, and palm trees.
Pale yellow with greenish reflections, this Albariño is intense in the nose, with peach and citrus notes. There’s a freshness and minerality mid-palate that is superb, with remarkable acidity and a round, crisp finish.
Excellent pairings for this wine are cod with cockles, citrus prawn salad, or traditional grilled seafood with warm mango salad and beans. It is delightfully well suited to Asian food, Peruvian ceviche, or a fresh tuna salad. | 2019-04-19T13:13:29 | https://www.kwmwine.com/en/Bodegas-Garzon-Albarino-2017/m-2293.aspx |
In this article, we take a look at the best options for hiring a skip bin in Sydney and answer many of the frequently asked questions that we come across.
If you’re tackling a project that will produce a lot more waste than your weekly rubbish limit allows, then you’ll need to come up with a way to store and transport it all.
Skip bins have many benefits when it comes to rubbish removal. They give you a designated space to store your rubbish so that you can reduce stress and clutter; they come in many different sizes to suit your needs and they are easily accessible – you can even book online! Matt’s Skip Bins makes hiring a skip bin even easier. We deliver the bin to your location and pick it up to dispose of your waste for you.
Below we’ll go over some of our more frequently asked questions.
Can I put all kinds of waste in one skip bin?
Sure! You can put a lot of different kinds of waste together, but you may find it more cost-effective and environmentally responsible to separate your waste into recyclables. For the most part, not all the waste will be going to the same place.
What, specifically, can I put in my skip bins?
This depends on the type of waste we’re talking about, so we’ll go over the specifics below.
For general waste, you can put in: Most general household waste, cardboard, clothes, toys, furniture, plastic, metal, light timber, appliances, light green waste etc.
For mixed heavy waste, you can put in: Waste from household or industrial renovations including mixed concrete, bricks, soil, tiles, timber, gyprock, general waste etc.
For bricks and concrete, you should stick to those materials. Discuss it with us first if you want to add in roof and floor tiles, pebbles, rocks, slate, pavers or blocks.
For dirt and clay, keep it simple – just dirt and clay only.
And for organic waste, you can put in grass and tree clippings, branches, wood chips, bark and light timber.
What should I leave out of my skip bins?
For general waste and green waste, you should leave out: Bricks, carpet, concrete, soil, tiles, timber sleepers, food, liquid, asbestos, fibro, mattresses, gyprock, palm tree trunks/stumps, poly (coolroom material) & tyres (unless still on rim).
If you’re putting bricks and concrete or dirt and clay in a skip bin, if you want to save a little money, do not put in any other materials.
Organic materials should exclude: Tree trunks/stumps over 150mm in diameter, palm trunks/stumps, timber sleepers, soil/dirt/ rock and general waste.

Do you remember New Coke?
It was the unofficial name for the new formulation of Coca-Cola back in 1985.
Then, in 1992, they renamed it Coke II.
And in 2002, it was off the market.
Product names, design elements even taglines evolve and change over time. What stays the same, is the heart of the brand.
Coca-Cola has held firm to it’s brand values, vision and place in the market despite playing around with a few product names.
But if you’re not a Coca-Cola, how do you know if you’ve over experimented, over designed and have generally over done it and created brand confusion?
Does it pass the T-Shirt test?
If the essence of your brand can easily translate onto a t-shirt, you’re golden. If however, your brand is consumed with abstract or over generalized statements like “women that crave a life of abundance” then you may need to sit in the makeover chair. Who do you need to become in order to have that abundant life? How can you translate your brand purpose into an actionable phrase or expression? Whittle down your umbrella statement - like life of abundance - into an umbrella spoke like “hear me roar.” I don’t know about you but I’d wear that t-shirt any day of the week!
If your website were featured on a screen alongside two similar brands - like a visual taste test - would people point to yours and say, that one? From a design perspective, too many bells and whistles create strain on the eye making it difficult to engage and connect with. The same is true of copy. Too much rambling, not enough clear instruction, zero personalization and your site visitor is clicking the back button faster than a contestant hitting the buzzer on Family Feud.
Does it work on a mug?
Like the t-shirt test, the mug test is a test of clarity. Inspirational, motivational or humorous your brand must hit an emotional note that’s so succinct it can fit onto a mug and so relatable people will eagerly want to share photos of it on their social media feed. The mug test works for brand messages or even product messages. A couple years ago, I created a digital course called Ditch the Pitch. It was a course about selling without pitching. When I came up with the course name, I wanted something people could proudly show-off, in mug form, because it spoke to a value they cared about, selling without being obnoxious.
Can a small child buy-in?
I used to think communicating at a 10-year old level meant dumbing down my message, and my intelligence, until I realized two things: 1) most people are on information overload and 2) we’re usually too close to our own message to see it through the eyes of a beginner. By adjusting your brand message so that it’s clear to a child, you make it easy for your people to understand at first read. And nothing is easier, and more clear to understand and take notice of than a well told story. The language of story is universal because it’s an ageless and timeless form of communication.
Does it pass the cocktail-party test?
It’s been proven that even in a crowded bar, our ears perk up at the sound of our own name. Keep that in mind when you talk about what you do because people will perk up to your introduction, your personal story and your presentation when they hear themselves in it - this is why the best sales and marketing pros give shout outs on webinars. A similar principle applies if you’re telling a story that sounds like you’re talking about one person when you’re actually talking about a group of people (your people).
T-shirts, mugs, taste tests, cocktail parties, your brand is a celebration. Design it that way! Go inside your brand (logos, color palettes and mood boards are wonderful but the real magic happens on the inside) and create a reason for people to show you off and raise their glasses in your honor. | 2019-04-18T10:24:02 | https://liz-pabon.mykajabi.com/blog/does-your-brand-need-a-makeover-here-are-5-ways-to-tell |
An elliptical cross trainer is comparable to a trademill in its exertion of leg muscles and the heart. Elliptical produce an intermediate range of leg motion between that of stationery bikes and treadmills. There are claims that the dual action exercise of an elliptical trainer can actually be more efficient in burning calories. The logic is that by exercising more muscle groups simultaneously, a more intense workout can be achieved in less time.

One of the most stressful times of year can be the holiday season. And, if you are already having “difficulty” adjusting to married/family life, this “joyous” season (with all it’s newfound popularity) can often bring out the “worst” in all of us.
While many resign to “arguing” and “moving on”, others opt for giving themselves and their relationship the gift of “ever-lasting” happiness by learning to “cope” and communicate, and, that most often means counseling.
However, new studies are warning couples about the potential problems associated with introducing a third party to their relationship. In fact, they suggest that many therapists, depending on their (personal) philosophy can actually be contributing to the problem. Some have even been noted as defining divorce as a personal rite of passage. And those concerned say that especially when it comes to relationship therapy and therapists, good help is hard to find.
Still, they note, that for dedicated couples, dedicated to their marriage, and saving it at “any” cost, recruiting a counselor with YOUR best interests in mind is priceless.
Here are a few things to look for (even if it costs more initially) to help you save on more frustration, anger, and perhaps legal fees in the end.
1. Inquire About His/Her Marital “Status”: Make sure that the counselor you choose has the appropriate credentials and training in marriage therapy. Remember, anyone can offer advice; the objective here is to receive good/valuable advice.
Concerned professionals are advise couples that there is a difference between someone who is skilled at helping individuals and someone trained in helping couples. They note that individual therapists are proficient at assisting people get in touch with their own emotions and achieving their own (personal) goals, whereas the mark of a marriage counselor is in his/her ability to help couples overcome their differences together. And, they need to know “how” a marriage works, even if that means one person not necessarily fulfilling to the fullest his or her individual goals.
2. Pick Out Prejudice Professionals: Make sure your counselor/therapists “biased” in the favor of marriage. His or Her primary concern should be helping (or teaching) you how to work out your differences, making you realize which ones are worth making an “issue” over, and helping you grow together in the same direction; and NOT to help you achieve your personal goals at the risk of your relationship.
Some suggest asking your therapist about the number (or percentage) of couples he or she has successfully helped save their marriage. While you probably shouldn’t expect an answer, experts note taking note of your therapist’s immediate reaction should be a clear indication of how confident you should feel. Again, it’s imperative to remember (that except for a few very clear exceptions), your therapists goal is to point out reasons why you should remain together (and how) and not “excuses” for why you should break apart.
3. Warm and Fuzzy Feelings: Besides a sense of professionalism, you should feel comfortable around your therapist, understood, not judged (even if he or she is pointing out something YOU are doing “wrong”) and respected. Any therapist worth his/her weight in fees will be able to steer a couple in the right direction without making either feel a sense of “disapproval”, and without taking sides, but instead acting as a mediator and guiding the couple in appropriate negotiating tactics. Furthermore, you should never feel pressured by your counselor (especially about making a decision regarding your marriage) and you should be able to speak with him or her freely, openly, and honestly about your concerns with what he or she may be suggesting, and he or she should (even if he or she disagrees) respect that.
4. Compatible Value Systems: You and your therapist should feel the same way about marriage. If you are a traditionalist and your therapist is a modernist, chances are your basic views on marriage have all along been different. It may also stand to reason that while you may realize that working things out may take patience and time, a therapist with a vastly different view on marriage may truly believe that it’s time to bail, even if you’re not ready, willing, or able to. While there is no doubt that certain things are clearly right and wrong, there are others are often not that “black and white”. Before asking for “help” make sure your therapist defines (marital) success in the same way you do, and you both have the same goal and objective in mind.
5. Mission (Not So) Impossible: Establish specific goals from the very beginning in order to give you (and your spouse) a direction to head towards. Make sure the goals are attainable and achievable, and make sure to reach for greater accomplishments as you overcome each “hurdle”. If you notice that you are having “difficulty” living up to your goals, reaching and impasse or merely not sensing any change or progress, make sure to address this issue (with your therapist) as well.
6. Take A Futuristic Approach: Examining your past may help you make some interesting (and perhaps helpful) revelations (about yourself) and your reactions, but it won’t necessarily help you cope with the present and the future. Make sure your therapist starts from where you both are NOW and works toward moving you forward, instead of looking back to the future.
7. Get An Attitude Adjustment: Before going into therapy, look at ALL the couples who succeeded despite their differences and problems. Decide (prior to therapy) that they’ve got nothing on you (both). Remember, most (good) things in life require lots of hard work. If your therapist suggests otherwise, maybe you may need to find a new therapist, one’s who (sets the example) by remaining willing to “work” for what he or she gets.
8. Refrain From “Long-Term Commitments”: Experts say trust your instincts and intuition. Give your therapist a “trial run”, but make sure your sense you are making progress, otherwise you may consider seeking out a more compatible counselor.
9. Look For “Reference” Materials: Remember you are not alone. Ask friends and family for their recommendations. Chances are several other (successful) couples have lots of good advice to give, including the name and number of a trusted therapist. | 2019-04-22T01:10:33 | http://www.lifamilies.com/article/the-magic-behind-achieving-a-successful-relationship-1373.html |
When I talk about my lifestyle I can't say it stays the same constantly. The only constant is exercise. I never stop. I work out 6-7 days a week. I do it every day and like to push myself and make sure I get a very hard very intense work out in most days. I used to do strength every day, now I alternate sometimes. I was doing it every other day, and now I am doing it every other day using mostly P90X but also Jillian Michael's dvds as strength. My least favorite feeling is wandering the gym as my heart rate drops figuring out what to do next. It's why I love using a dvd for strength. Days I work I try to make my cardio only days to save time. But days like today, I did the legs and back P90X dvd and I am already sore! I feel accomplished when I know I worked hard in my strength routine. I feel like keeping myself strong physically keeps everything else strong for me.
Food wise, I have accepted that I am addicted to food and it is a constant battle. Being so active is probably the only reason I am not 200 pounds again. I don't eat fast food, fried foods, or lots of candy. But I have a tendency to need a "treat" or snack at night and soemtimes it triggers a binge. Tonight was a binge. And yeah it depresses me slightly because I worked out so hard this morning and now probably don't have a deficit. But it's how I am feeling at this point in my journey. I have some stress in my life and it helps to know that I am going to be okay, the weight isn't coming back on as long as I continue to work out the way I do. And I really do enjoy the workouts. I enjoy pushing myself. I usually do fantastic until dinner. And I know it changes. Some weeks I keep under 2,000 calories and am perfectly good and eat well. Then I have a week where I eat out every day and binge. I know my life is going to be an ongoing battle. It's just tough not having that control yet. I definitely have control outside of my home. It's when I am home that I get into trouble.
I have stopped weighing myself and it's making me nervous. I feel like I am losing inches as all my jeans are now loose. I just get nervous that I'll turn around and be 20 pounds heavier. But as long as I continue my strength training I know I am building muscle and losing inches.
Anyway I don't know why I felt like I needed to check in. Spark keeps me grounded. I've been reading blogs even if I don't comment I do read them. THis place is why I am where I am today. It's hard to not check on it every day.
We all need to keep grounded and it sounds like you're doing a good job with it. Exercise does help keep you grounded...maybe save a little bit for the evening when you tend to binge? Or maybe try yoga, something more gentle on your body, when you get that feeling to overeat. Or MAYBE your body actually does need those calories because of all the exercise you're doing. Our bodies will tell us what they need if we can quiet our minds enough to listen. You have become much more reflective, it's easy to see the progress you're making when I've been reading your blogs for so long. | 2019-04-23T16:34:56 | https://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4239710 |
“You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed and it shall be well with you. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD” (Psalm 128:2-4).
This psalm is another of a group of psalms believed to have been sung by pilgrims on their way to feasts at the Temple in Jerusalem. The beginning of verse 5 refers to the Temple’s location on Mount Zion: “The Lord bless you from Zion!” With this phrase, the rest of the psalm unfolds not as a blanket guarantee of prosperity, but as a prayer offered with confidence for blessing upon those who walk according to the ways of the Lord.
This benediction, or prayer of blessing, asks that God will grant prosperity and peace to Israel, his people. It is a prayer that God will allow his worshippers to live long enough to see their grandchildren. It is a prayer for healthy relationships within the home, for a wife who is a “fruitful vine” and for children who surround their father’s table as young olive shoots surround the older tree from whose seed they have sprouted. The prayer speaks to God’s people as individuals, as families, and as a nation of worshippers. It is a call to worship, and to live, with reverence for God and with gratitude for the blessings he gives. The prayer also prays for the prosperity of God’s people and for an enduring peace for the place where those people gather to worship the Lord. Implicit within the prayer is awareness that judgment awaits those who scoff at the ways of God and who scorn those who believe.
O Lord, I pray that you will bless us who revere you as God and walk according to your ways. Grant us health and a long life filled with peace. Surround us with loving families who share our faith in you. Thank you for blessings that you give us. Sometimes we stumble, sometimes we grieve under the weight of unexpected loss. Open our eyes to grace and help us to discover paths to recovery when we mourn. May we refrain from making our relationship with you a trivial friendship. May we recognize the doors that you open and the doors that you close. May we know peace as we live for you. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Our prayers include (even if only subconsciously) petitions for shelter, for security, and for a legacy that will endure after our death. We want to be remembered. As Israelite pilgrims traveled to Jerusalem to worship at the temple, they sang songs (the Psalms of Ascent) as they journeyed. Among them was Psalm 127. Although not a prayer, it identifies shelter, security, and legacy as beyond assurance unless the Lord provides them. Our security depends ultimately upon our submission to God’s will. At our wedding, I promised my wife that I would keep her safe, secure, and on the edge of adventure. She says that I have overachieved on the adventure part. I pray that I will do better with the safety and security.
“Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil, for he gives to his beloved sleep” (Psalm 127:1-2).
The psalm discourages expending all our energy as if our effort alone earns all our desires. Too many people regret having spent too little time with their family. Too many wish they had taken more time to “see the scenery” during their lives. Work, yes, but work with joy and balance your work with rest and time spent with your family. Remember your dependence upon God – “Unless the Lord builds,” “Unless the LORD watches,” our work is vain or meaningless.
I have fond memories of playing basketball with my sons, cooking with my daughter and older son, discussing the science fiction universe of Frank Herbert’s Dune with my younger son, bowling 227 in a one-on-one match with the older son, and running with my younger son. I cherish even more memories of worshiping with my daughter, her husband and my grandchildren; baptizing my older son; and singing hymns alongside my younger son at Harding University Chapel. I’ve written about my older son’s death here. My other children continue to inspire and amaze me, and I pray that they will continue to grow to be more and more like Christ.
“Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate” (Psalm 127:3-6).
Let’s pray prayers of gratitude for shelter, for security, and for the children God has given us. I also thank God for those who read my posts and prayers on this blog. I started writing “Call for Fire Seminar” six years ago this past week. Thank you for traveling along with me!
O Lord, we hesitate sometimes to relinquish control. We imagine that we can overcome without you. We think that we have earned the housing we enjoy, what sense of safety we may have, and we take pride in achievements we have “earned.” Thank you for loving us and providing for us. We pray that you will continue to give us shelter, that you will protect us on our journey, and that you will guide the children you have given us into abundant lives. Thank you for those children. Thank you for showing us reason to live and dream dreams that only are possible because you are there to make them reality. In Jesus’ name, amen.
As a child traveling with my parents to my grandfather’s farm in Middle Tennessee, I eagerly anticipated seeing my grandparents, eating my grandmother’s scrumptious home cooking, and drinking water drawn from their well in the front yard. My eagerness would grow when I spied a mountain in the distance that my younger brother and I called “Granddad’s Mountain.” It wasn’t on his property but was close enough that we knew that we were only minutes away from laughter and love. Earlier this year, when I drove in that county on my way to a family funeral, I suddenly realized as I looked out my window that I was looking at that beloved mountain that had signaled the nearness of my grandparents’ farm. A poignant joy filled my heart and my eyes misted as I reminisced.
“When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter; and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations; ‘The LORD has done great things for them.’ The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad” (Psalm 126:1-3).
“Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negeb! Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy bringing his sheaves with him” (Psalm 126:4-6).
Whether the psalm reflects a time of drought or the return from exile in Babylon, there was concern about the fertility of the land and fear mixed with faith as the worshipers envisioned the future. We too may recall happier days and dream of renewed blessing as we join with others to praise and to pray. Our hearts may be broken as we consider what we see before us. We remember what God has done, and so we to pray with visions of how he will bless in the years ahead.
Quotations from the Bible are from the English Standard Version.
O Father, We reflect on how past generations taught us and provided for us, using blessings you had provided. We sing with joy as we praise you; we weep as we contemplate terror, poverty, and disease. We still trust in your care. We dream of a greater future in which your love shines through our relationships to transform our world into a place where we harvest your blessings with joy. Calm our fearful hearts. Train our eyes to see the fields ready for harvest, the dreams on the verge of fulfillment. In Jesus’ name, amen.
I recently read a panicked message from the communications director of a large church that the senior minister had announced that he was giving up social media for forty days and wanted everyone in the congregation to do the same. The communications director noted that the great majority of the congregation’s in-house communication and a large amount of outreach takes place through the church’s social media pages. The communications director heard the preacher saying that he wanted the church to stop doing evangelism for forty days.
In the weeks before Easter, many people who follow Jesus fast to some degree. Most do not go without food entirely. They will pick a food, chocolate or asparagus for example, and not eat it for that time period. In a comparatively recent development, some, like the preacher mentioned above, decide to stop engaging in a specific behavior they consider negative.
I’m very much aware that the Bible says absolutely nothing about a forty-day period of fasting and prayer before a feast that remembers the resurrection of Jesus. It actually says nothing about such a feast either (The one mention of “Easter” in the King James Version should have been translated “Passover” as it is every other place the word occurs). Fasting, usually connected with prayer, is mentioned in both Old and New Testaments. Acts 13:1-3 informs us that the prophets and teachers of the church in Antioch fasted and prayed before sending Saul and Barnabas out as missionaries. Jesus warned his disciples that when they fasted, they should not do it so that everyone would see their privation and consider them super-spiritual people (Matthew 6:16-18). In Isaiah 58:1-12, God responds through the prophet to worshipers who question why their fasting and prayers seem to have no effect. God rebukes them, saying that they fast, but still quarrel and fight. He makes clear that “spreading sackcloth and ashes” is not what he desires from a fast.
What kind of fast does God choose? The passage in Isaiah 58 continues: “Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?” God wants fasting (going without food) to be balanced and accompanied by positive helping behaviors towards other people. My sense is that Christ would not have ordered a fast from social media, but would have counselled his disciples to use Philippians 4:8 as a guideline for their posts, and to use social media to help and encourage rather than to slander and criticize, to evangelize rather than to politicize. He would have said, “whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, what ever is pure, whatever is lovely…think about these things.” If you are going to fast, use your newly freed-up time to do good. Spend the money you have saved to help others. Enjoy the beauty of the world God has created. Sing with joy to the Lord.
Quotations from the Bible are from the American Standard Version.
Lord God, we bow before you, aware sometimes that our fascinations and desires sicken you. We humble ourselves before and strip away that which distracts. Give us wisdom to discern what will help us to concentrate more fully on you without hindering the spreading of your message into the world. Heighten our awareness of our own pride so that we will sense when we do something to be seen or heard by others rather than to please you. Our society and culture changes quickly. We want to discern those changes we should adopt, those we should adapt, and those we should abhor more clearly. Guide us so that our fasts will be pleasing to you. In Jesus’ name, amen.
When a child experiences crisis, being held by a loving parent’s comforting arms restores stability in the midst of chaos. Even as adults, we long for comfort, encouragement, or consolation – when overwhelmed, “I need a hug” leaps to our thoughts if not into our spoken cries. The encircling of comforting arms signals security and safety, love and protection. We have those sensations of safety because we trust the person who holds us, or the circle of friends or family who surround us when our life seems to be crumbling from the weight of illness, job loss, divorce, or the death of someone important to us. We are not alone, and that realization ignites confidence.
“Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As thee mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore” (Psalm 125:1-2).
Those mountains provided some physical security to Jerusalem, but also reminded worshipers of their spiritual security provided by a holy God. They realized the threat to political stability mirrored danger to their spiritual security if they did not maintain a right relationship with the Lord their God. As Proverbs 14:34 expresses it, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” The collective morality and ethics of a nation’s citizens determine that nation’s long-term viability as a united political entity. I am not arguing here for civil religion, for infusing patriotism into personal religious faith. I also recognize that some brutal regimes have maintained control of countries for long periods of time and have stretched the reach of their tyranny to engulf other nations. That in fact is one of the fears latent in Psalm 125, that “the scepter of wickedness” might conquer and rule Israel.
The theme of 1st and 2nd Chronicles is that rulers who chose evil over righteousness, who neglected the worship of God and also abused their people, who did not obey the laws of God in regard to speaking truth, preserving life, and protecting the environment, ultimately created the conditions for “the scepter of wickedness” to overwhelm Israel and Judah. Echoes of their fatal errors resound in our era. We protect the eggs of endangered wildlife, but cheer the “right” to choose to kill our own children or ourselves. Corrupt politicians decry truth as “fake news” and practice fraud in elections and financial dealings. Greed, as in Israel, prompts us to overuse our land and remove obstacles to erosion.
“For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous stretch out their hands to do wrong” (Psalm 125:3).
The prayer of Psalm 125 recognizes that the security of a people begins in the faithfulness and morality of the individual people among them. As we go to worship, may we examine our hearts when we pray for our nations and for the world in which we live.
• Bible quotations are from the English Standard Version.
O God who surrounds us with love and protection, we fear collapse of morality when people laugh at the idea of protecting life and scorn the idea of helping those who struggle to provide for themselves. We fear when we wonder if physical safety and security are a mirage, when we live as under threat from imminent danger. We try to maintain a sense of balance in our lives. When a spouse deserts us, or we face financial disaster, when we weaken with age or hear a diagnosis of disease, when parents or other loved ones die, we long to be held and assured that all is right in our world. Thank you for the reminder that the mountains surround Jerusalem, your arms embrace your people. We pray for hearts that will be fertile ground righteousness, that will discern truth, that will show evidence of love for you, for other people, and for the world you have given us. Protect us from the scepter of wickedness. Do good to us. In Jesus’ name, amen.
“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side when people rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; then over us would have gone the raging waters” (Psalm 124:2-5).
Those words echo a victory recorded in 2 Samuel 5 that saved King David’s fledgling united kingdom of Judah and Israel. The Philistines, threatened by emergence of a stronger power to their north and east, attacked. After David’s army defeated them, he said, “The Lord has burst through my enemies before me like a bursting flood” (2 Samuel 5:20).
“Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth! We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped! Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth” (Psalm 124:6-8).
O Lord, We sense danger. We want to run away, but fear we will run into the trap the enemy has laid. We want to trust, but wonder if it is safe to do so. We want to love, but those we have loved sometimes have hurt us badly. We do not know what perils await us on the path ahead. Give us wisdom as we navigate poorly mapped trails. Grant us courage when we sense unidentified adversaries lurking nearby. Preserve our love for truth and help us to be people of integrity. We fear drowning in a torrent of angry abuse. May we listen well, so that we may discern danger when it exists, and recognize salvation when it is near. You have protected and have saved us in the past. We praise you and thank you. If you had not been there, we would have perished. You are our help and our savior. We thank you in Jesus’ name, amen.
Weariness saps our vision and energy. We cannot concentrate on our goals because our weariness distracts our focus. I remember a general’s embarrassment when he had an automobile accident when he drove while impaired. He told his soldiers that he had learned an important lesson. The general was not under the influence alcohol or drugs that evening. No, he was completely sober. However, he had decided to embark on a road trip after a long and taxing day at work. His fatigue was so great that he lost focus and drifted off the road. Weariness impaired him. Grief wearies us as well, as does working on edge, with a sense that we must look over our shoulders for other’s approval while we work. When we sense disapproval, or even worse, contempt directed towards us continually, that sense begins to drain us. We become weary and frustrated at our failure to earn respect.
“To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens” (Psalm 123:1).
“Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he has mercy upon us” (Psalm 123:2).
“Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt, our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud” (Psalm 123:3-4).
As we read their prayer, we feel their weariness. I have felt so very tired when it seemed that nothing that I did pleased others, whether they were supervisors, peers, or those I was privileged to lead. In my frustration and my anger, as I found it harder to envision new, fresh direction, the words of Psalm 123 found a home in my prayers: “Lord, have mercy, for we have had enough of contempt.” Sometimes, we may earn contempt through ineptness or silliness. At other times, people scorn and mock because they do not know enough to understand what we have said or appreciate what we have done. In the psalm, the singers describe the scorners as “at ease” and “proud.” The scorners make it harder for the singers, for they grant them no respect. They, and we, turn in our weariness to the only one who can provide relief and refreshment that will endure.
This prayer challenges us also to be humble as we regard the efforts of others, to appreciate and respect what they do. The singers ask for God’s mercy, but they also desire that the “proud” will place more value on what they do, what they say, or what they believe. In American society, we are tempted to deride those with whom we disagree, to treat them along with their opinions and ways of living with contempt. This prayer reminds us that we all are as servants to the one who is “enthroned in the heavens.” Everyone needs to pray as we look to him, “Lord, have mercy.
O God enthroned in the heavens, we approach you and pray simply: Lord, have mercy on us. The pressures of life weigh us down. Disdain or contempt from our peers wearies us. Relieve the strain from our souls. Help us to remember our weariness and pain when we interact with others and are tempted to mock them for their ignorance or ineptitude. May we remember our struggles and treat others as we want to be treated. Lord, have mercy and light the way that we should walk. In Jesus’ name, Amen. | 2019-04-18T18:38:14 | https://callforfireseminar.wordpress.com/ |

Bernie's Dawg Blawg: "...we've played them tough recently with worse teams."
"...we've played them tough recently with worse teams."
Brick by brick. Rocky Top ain't completely reconstructed just yet. But that doesn't keep John Hollingsworth from taking a very realistic stance.
Chances of a Vols win (on a scale from 5-30): I'm going with 10. One one hand, this is one of four teams that present the biggest challenge for Tennessee. On the other hand, we've played them tough recently with worse teams.
He's completely right. Starting with last season and Pig's fumble. Of course, 2007 is another good example. Like 2007, Georgia enters this game already with an SEC East loss to South Carolina. Unlike last season, Georgia enters this game with a healthy Todd Gurley.
Win, and you avoid becoming Butch Jones' biggest "brick" yet. Lose, and just gonna be a lot of dark sarcasm in the classroom. | 2019-04-21T05:28:16 | http://www.berniesdawgblawg.com/2014/09/weve-played-them-tough-recently-with.html |

Over the past two years, the Republican-led Oklahoma House has twice passed legislation that would require all voters to show photo identification at the polls. In each case, the measure later stalled in Senate Committee. With GOP leaders predicting their party will wrestle control of the state Senate in November, a voter ID law could come one step closer to reality (though it could still face a veto from the Governor).
This week on Oklahoma Voices, we listen to a recent debate on the matter hosted by the Oklahoma Republican Capitol Caucus. State Rep. John Wright (R-Broken Arrow) argues in favor of the measure, saying it would help instill voter confidence that their representatives in government have been fairly and properly elected. Chuck Thornton of the American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma disagrees. He says such requirements amount to �a solution in search of a problem� and impose �an obstacle to a fundamental right.� And Oklahoma County Election Board Secretary Doug Sanderson describes the current laws regarding voter registration and identity verification.
In the second half of our program, our guest hosts -- University of Oklahoma Political Science Professor Keith Gaddie and OU International Programs Center Vice-Provost Zach Messitte � speak with State Senator Andrew Rice (D-OKC), who�s running for US Senate against Republican incumbent Jim Inhofe. KGOU has been speaking with Sen. Inhofe�s office, and we hope to conduct an interview with him in the coming weeks. | 2019-04-24T12:34:48 | http://archive.kgou.org/index.php?news-management&action=view_news&news_id=1292&a=1 |
The shares, floated at 575p, nearly doubled on the first day and are now £28.68p (up 2 1/ 2p). First-quarter profits soared 91pc to £3.2m pre-tax, on sales 51pc ahead. Former parent, computer group Acorn, wants to join the party. Its market value is £220m, but its 24.4pc stake in ARM is worth £330m.
Acorn is looking at tax-efficient ways to unlock the value. The likeliest option is a demerger of the ARM stake. | 2019-04-24T07:52:23 | https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-1581733/ARM-chips-in-with-30-millionaires-on-staff.html |

I haven't posted my Online Spin articles for a while, but I'd like to do so now with 3 related ones that all triangulate on a brand marketer's need to change, move quicker, embrace the "fear" of failure (the only thing to fear is fear itself) and ultimately, adopt a much more progressive lean-forward approach to new media, emerging technology and partnership with startups/entrepreneurs.
The opportunity cost of inertia - This article focuses on doing nothing. Being hamstrung with indecision or just procrastinating in general.
I have seen the enemy - and the enemy is within - My latest article, which goes back to the notion of "doing nothing" but this time focuses on all the wheel spinning, lost time and therefore expended resources on deciding NOT to move forward on opportunities already under consideration.
Companies are their own worst enemies. The amount of wheel-spinning that takes place to get an initiative in place or even started, only for the rug to be ripped out underneath due to “a new CMO coming in” (or an existing one going out), “a budget cut” or “a reorg,” translates into significant hours expended, and therefore has a very real price tag.
I think it’s important we recognize the tangible cost of dragging our feet, being stuck in holding patterns and/or ultimately having cold feet as a substantial cost of doing business.
The waste of time -- and therefore money -- is mission critical, especially when dealing in a complex, dynamic and turbulent marketplace, with -- let’s face it -- extremely scarce resource (and by scarce resources, I’m talking about talent and time). While we all complain about budget cuts, in reality we are swimming in obscene excessive amounts of money that go into the temporal renting of multitasking eyeballs (yes, I’m talking about YOU, 30-second spot).
As a writer and speaker, I get to clench my fist and shake it disapprovingly at you a lot. You agree with me and yet you do nothing about it.
As a consultant and “agency” guy, I get to feel the short stick by being on the receiving end of your constant “reorgs” and additional approvals and reviews.
But honestly, don’t worry about me -- this is about you. I’m really worried about you.
Did you ever stop and think that all this time lost is actually hurting the current and future state of your business? In other words, hastening the next reorg and restructure? Your inability to get anything done that is different, original, unique and/or innovative is without question putting your own continuity and value INTO question.
Seriously, consider the ROI of not doing anything. It’s a Return on Inertia that is ironically very measurable both as an opportunity cost (past/hours) and opportunity lost (future/execution).
Instead, consider the analogy of waiting in a very long line. You’ve stood for an hour and you’re strongly considering calling it quits and walking away. Only, you’ve already spent an hour and who knows, the wait might only be another 30 minutes or so. And then before you know it, it’s 90 minutes or 2 hours. Now you DEFINITELY can’t walk away, because you’ve invested 2 hours, which is much more than the hour. And then it’s three hours -- and so on.
Why not apply the same logic to your projects? Stay the course!. Consider all the hours and legwork that got you this far and use that as the incentive to keep going.
You can quote me on that if you like. | 2019-04-24T03:11:50 | https://www.jaffejuice.com/2013/12/index.html |

The FINANCIAL -- In what may be the biggest boost to zip code envy since “Beverly Hills 90210,” RealtyTrac has released a data survey ranking the Top 20 U.S. zip codes of more than 2,500 residents with the highest average prices for single-family residences.
Clearly the primetime soap that ran throughout the 1990s and topped the Nielsens in 1993 was set in the right state. The RealtyTrac data shows that California has 17 of the 20 zip codes with the highest average home prices.
The infamous 90210, however, is not one of them. Now it’s 90212.
Topping the list, with homes topping $2.9 million, is New York City’s 10282, followed by Los Altos, California, with properties averaging $2.6 million and then zip codes in Palo Alto and Santa Monica, California where homes average in the $2.5 million range.
The only neighborhood in the survey outside California and New York City is the fifth-ranked 62016 zip code of Carrollton, Illinois. There, a population of 3,717 live in homes averaging $2.469 million. | 2019-04-19T20:37:26 | https://www.finchannel.com/business/realestate/45395-adding-zip-to-the-high-end-housing-market |

The Old Foodie: Twenty Gallons of Squirrel Stew.
This interesting booklet also includes a recipe for a rather more manageably-sized squirrel stew (“Make the same as chicken stew, using four squirrels to a pot of stew”) as well as instructions for broiled and stewed squirrel, plus a rather elegant dish of opossum which I also give you for good measure. Those Tennessee Baptist ladies could sure cook up a storm, it seems.
Squirrel Stew for Twenty Gallons.
Twenty squirrels, five pounds pork, half bushel tomatoes, half bushel potatoes, three quarts okra, six large onions, eight red peppers, three packages corn starch, ten dozen ears corn, three pounds butter, salt and pepper to taste. Boil four or five hours, stirring often.
The first recipe looks like burgoo. Not far from where I grew up is a tiny bluff town called Arenzville that hosts a burgoo festival.
I seem to recall that about the time of Abraham Lincoln, politicians would lay out squirrel stew and whiskey on election day-- brought voters into town.
I am very glad burgoo was mentioned, as I had the same impression: a dish of wild meat and fixings as are easily found to feed a large group. Burgoo is par excellence a communal dish and this squirrel dish sounds similar in many respects. What could sound more regional American, burgoo? In fact the term (almost without question) is from bulghur, for wheat. Burgoo - with that spelling - was a gruel on British ships in the 1700's. Like so much else that seems American, it was British in origin.
Dear Lord! It's things such as this that make me glad I'm a vegetarian!
The Squire is from the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee, and he has mentioned his father eating squirrel. I'm going to send the link to this page to my two sisters-in-law. | 2019-04-18T10:25:25 | http://www.theoldfoodie.com/2014/03/twenty-gallons-of-squirrel-stew.html |

Great Parks of the West and Trains too - Travel Video.
DVD. Client Denn Digital Camera. 75 Minutes. Perhaps the greatest array of natural wonders in the world is found in the western United States. Great Parks preserve them and open them to visitors. The world's single largest expanse of exposed granite comprises the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Five Great Parks are carved from its valleys and peaks. They include glaciers, great rivers, five of the world's 20 highest waterfalls, deep canyons, lakes, bold monoliths and the world's largest trees. Just west, on the coast, is the world's tallest tree in the "Avenue of the Giants" grove. Yellowstone's great variety of trees, rivers, canyons and meadows are picturesque settings for buffalo, bear, wolf and elk. Volcanic chambers below produce belching fumaroles, boiling mud pots, hot clear pools and numerous vents and geysers. In the southwest are Death Valley, Joshua Tree, Saguaro, and the Petrified Forest Parks. Ancient Native Americans flourished at Mesa Verde and Canyon de Chelly. Echoes of their past are present there in today's rich Indian culture. A bold land, in colorful motif and design, shows startling contrasts in Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches National Park, Natural Bridges and the awe inspiring Grand Canyon. To the north are the remarkable vistas of Glacier Park and the rare temperate rain forest of Olympic Park. Mount St.Helens shows the volcanic past and present of the Pacific's Rim of Fire and reminds us that capricious nature can still awe and humble us. Much of this "Great West" was opened to settlers and industry by the railroads and a few of these trains still operate today. "The Durango-Silverton" in the Rocky Mountains, "The Skunk" crossing the Coastal Range and the "Grand Canyon Railway" are exciting examples.

The Superliners: Twilight Of An Era - Travel Video.
National Geographic. Before the days of jet travel, magnificent ocean liners such as the Queen Mary and the Normandie reigned over the Atlantic, setting standards of taste, luxury, and efficiency. They transported not only the rich and famous, but also soldiers during wartime, and emigrants seeking new lives in the land of opportunity. Luxury was defined in the early part of the 20th century by the Superliners. Now they are all but extinct. "The Superliners" takes viewers on a five-day journey aboard the Queen Elizabeth 2, the last superliner ever built. With 110,000 horsepower and 67,000 tons in mass, the QE2, launched in 1967, is just one of about a dozen such ships that existed as the largest moving manmade objects. Its 296th voyage westbound from Southampton to New York serves as a time capsule of a bygone era of travel and opulence. The United States, France's Normandy, and England's Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth are all explored in this 59-minute documentary. Significant for their engineering and nautical ingenuity as well as for their transport of tourists, immigrants, and soldiers, superliners were made obsolete by air travel, popularized during the mid-1960s. The interviews with crew members and passengers make for a nostalgic portrait of life aboard a liner on the high seas. 60 minutes.

Their story is filled with drama, controversy, tragedy and heartbreak, and their story over the last century is among their most fascinating. Sweden Members of the House of Bernadotte are among the most innovative of all royals, and pass the throne to the oldest child regardless of gender. The Swedish royal family is constantly redefining the boundaries of royalty. Netherlands Ruled by three great Queens during the past 100 years, theirs is a story of charisma and humanitarian pursuit. Crown Prince Willem-Alexander will be challenged to live up to the high standards set by the formidable Dutch Queens. Belgium The House of Saxe-Coburg has a fiery history raging with military heroism, romantic intrigue and tragedy. This adored and celebrated family, which has always been devoted first to the welfare of the people, continue this tradition today.

The House of Bourbon is passionate, exciting, and romantic and continues a dramatic family history.

My laboratory is interested in molecular mechanisms of coagulation and thrombosis, with emphasis on regulation of the coagulation serine proteases, and identification of novel targets for antithrombotic therapy (Figure 1). Currently, the laboratory is focused on regulation of the intrinsic tenase complex (factor IXa-factor VIIIa) (Figure 2). In vitro and ex vivo modeling of tissue factor-initiated blood coagulation suggests that this enzyme complex is the rate-limiting step for thrombin generation in response to injury. Animal studies suggest that targeting this enzyme complex may improve the bleeding risks associated with antithrombotic therapy. The activated form of factor IX is a protease that is poorly reactive with substrates and inhibitors in solution, yet undergoes a dramatic 106-fold enhancement in catalytic efficiency for factor X upon incorporation into the intrinsic tenase complex. The regulation of this remarkable enzyme within the intrinsic tenase complex is being addressed by a combination of site-directed mutagenesis, enzymatic and biochemical characterization of mutant proteases; evaluation of effects on plasma thrombin generation and injury models in hemophilia B mice. We have identified a critical cofactor interactive site involved in protease activation, which regulates the stability of the enzyme complex, and represents a novel molecular target for antithrombotic therapy (Figure 3). This novel target is being pursued by a combination of high throughput screening of chemical libraries and molecular modeling approaches. The results of these studies are relevant to understanding the therapeutic efficacy of heparin, the development of novel antithrombotic strategies, and the design of improved replacement therapy for hemophilia B.
My laboratory is also interested in the zebrafish as a genetic model for mammalian hemostasis(Figure 4). The zebrafish is a powerful model for vertebrate genetics, allowing saturation mutagenesis with phenotypic screening and specific gene knockdown approaches. The major hemostatic pathways are conserved between zebrafish and humans, which allows for identification of novel hemostatic genes and functions. We have identified the zebrafish homologue for human protein C, a protease with both anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory properties. Treatment with activated protein C demonstrates a survival advantage for selected patients with sepsis, however, the potential benefits and mechanisms for the anti-inflammatory effects of this protease remain controversial. We are characterizing the activities of the zebrafish homologue both in vitro, and in inflammation models in the zebrafish. Identifying the downstream effectors of activated protein C is important for understanding the interface between hemostatic and inflammatory pathways. | 2019-04-19T22:51:45 | http://www.medicine.wisc.edu/people-search/people/staff/411/SHEEHAN_JOHN_P |

Neil “Pike” McCormick, 95, of Lewellen, Nebraska, passed away Saturday, Sept. 1, 2018, at the Regional West Garden County Hospital in Oshkosh, Neb.
Pike was born Sept. 7, 1922, at Lewellen to Alfred and Jane (Orr) McCormick. He graduated from Lewellen High School with the class of 1940. Pike remained at Lewellen where helped on the family farm.
At the onset of WWII, Pike found that he’d been drafted. A subsequent farming accident saw him passed over; a second draft selection was met with a hardship deferment, as he was helping his father farm at that time.
Upon being drafted a third time, Pike was inducted into the U.S. Army’s 75th Infantry, where he fought at the Battle of the Bulge. Following his discharge in 1946, Pike returned home to farm.
In March of 1949, Pike married Norma Jean Dodson in the Lewellen United Methodist Church parsonage. Their union was blessed with three children, Nicki, Terry and Patrick.
Pike was a bit of a town historian and loved to visit and tell stories, especially about his time in the service. He would talk at length about WWII, as he was proud to have served his country at such a critical time in history.
He had an insatiable sweet tooth and loved his chocolate.
Pike could often be found at the coffee shop or the Tiger Den, with his characteristic smile and lighthearted humor.
Pike was preceded in death by his wife, Norma; son, Terry; brothers, Alfred “Duke,” Howard “Bud”; sisters, Elizabeth “Sis” Beard, Doris Tilgner and Jean McCormick; and a brother-in-law, Myron Dodson.
Survivors include his daughter, Nicki (Sid) Colson of Elsie, Neb.; son, Patrick (Karen) McCormick of Lewellen; daughter-in-law, Rose McCormick of Ellis, Kansas; eight grandchildren: Dane Colson, Cara (Chris) Benak, Dustin McCormick, Curtis (EJ) McCormick, Seth (Andrea) McCormick, Shawnee (Holden) Armstrong, and Cale (Sara) McCormick, Amber (Jim) Levick; eight great-grandchildren: Evan Colson, Ethan and Ella McCormick, Teagan McCormick, Bridger, Mina, and Nora McCormick, Emily and Logan Levick; brother, Larry (Doris) McCormick of Torrington, Wyoming; sister, Stella McCormick of Ogallala, Neb.; brother-in-law, Merwin (JoAnn) Dodson of Venango, Neb.; sister-in-law, Bonnie Dodson of Omaha; and several nieces, nephews, and many friends.
A memorial has been established in Pike’s memory for later designation. Condolences may be shared at prairiehillsfuneralhome.com.
Services will be held on Thursday, Sept. 6, 2018, at 10:30 a.m. at the Lewellen Methodist Church with Rev. Janie Freeman officiating. Burial with military honors will be in the Plum Creek Cemetery northeast of Lewellen.
Visitation will be on Wednesday, from 2-6 p.m. at the Prairie Hills Funeral Home in Ogallala. | 2019-04-18T15:05:28 | https://www.granttribune.com/node/195758 |
Grant Wooldridge Recaps His Recent Deer Hunting Trip.
Grant's account of his recent deer hunting trip with his family really puts the reader right into the action!
"First off, I always enjoy hunting Mule Deer, even if I don’t bag one. Just being out in the country walking through the rolling hills of sage and bitter brush or through the aspen or pine trees just refreshes me. It’s extra special when family is along. Dad and I have enjoyed that outdoor experience for decades. Now, more recently, our hunting has included my uncle and two cousins which has been great. Topping it all off, my wife Angie and daughters, Avey and Anna, share in the celebration after the shooting’s done.
This was my 17th year hunting mule deer and up until this year I was 8 deer for 16 years of hunting. I feel blessed about my success as I know many hunters who struggle to get one buck. (A big thanks here to Vence who taught me tons about hunting, firearms, shooting and reloading) The last deer I shot was in 2011 with my 10 year old cousin along side of me for his first walk along. That was a great experience and this year he went along for the first time as a shooter after passing the hunter safery course with flying colors. Good job Aaron!
Opening morning which fell on Saturday, October 12 this year was a little chilly before first light but weather was really moderate. The days have been as warm as high 60’s and at night it barely got to freezing. I would prefer a lower temperatures and a touch of winter weather to bring more of the migratory big bucks down out of the hills but no such luck for the last many years. We have had some pretty warm seasons lately.
Anyhow, my expectations were not great because of this but I knew there were deer out there to find so off we went. My father and I did a bunch of hiking and glassing up on some partially wooded state land but truly saw nothing at all for hours. We headed to another area which was more filled with sage and bitter brush and many ups and downs of small to large ravines.
I started to see some does around and saw a spike and a second two pointer. This was getting a little more encouraging though no big daddy bucks yet. I was preparing to head down into some deeper ravines but wanted to do another 360 degree sweep with the glasses around me before I headed out of the area. I scanned slowly, looking for back lines of the deer, ears or horns. I just finished sweeping the landscape, with a final glance up on the hill behind me, where I had come from earlier, when just at the last I saw him.
It looked like a legal deer up on a hill above me in the brush. He was 375 yards away (rangfinder, binoculars) and it did not look as if he saw me. I had a decent section of gully between us. I could just move toward him another 10 feet and then have cover to get out-of- sight and move to the next ridge for a closer shot.
The plan worked. I slowly crept forward and he stayed put, I was then out of site. I swiftly but quietly moved to the next ridge between us and crawled up to the point I could see him again. I laid on the ground and brought my crosshairs down on him. He was 265 yard away now. My gun is zeroed for 300 yards and I felt pretty good about the ballistics of this shot. I waited what must have been a minute or two for him to move his head enough for me to verify the third point which made him a shooter.
There’s always that moment of indecision. Do I wait for a bigger buck, when pickin’s seemed thin, or take this buck and put the tasty venison in the freezer. Decision made, when the buck turned broadside, there it was, I put the crosshairs behind the shoulder, exhaled and squeezed……. He jumped straight up then moved forward into the brush out of sight. I felt good about the shot.
I walked up the hill and in short order found the buck, not 25 feet from where I had shot him, dead as a doornail. The bullet hit the mark behind the shoulder and took out his main artery and a lung.
My father had been watching the whole thing unfold from up above on a higher hill. He was glassing from above then saw this deer. He could not tell if it was legal from his perspective but begin to look around to see where I was at. He could see me way below him lying on the ground then as he panned back to the deer he saw it jump then he heard the shot.
After tagging the buck, the first thing I did was call my friend Vence to tell him the good news. He was excited for me as I showed him the buck while we talked on face time. Then, my hunting partners joined in the success and work. Finally, I got to share the story with my girls and show them the buck. They’re so supportive and happy for my love of the outdoors and hunting….love you Angie, Avey and Anna.
Anyhow, what a good feeling to get my deer on opening day. Wow do I feel blessed. I am especially excited for the meat this year as earlier this year my freezer at home failed and I had lost some cherished wild game and fish which was a super bummer. We’re stocked up again, now.
And, about that decision to shoot this buck. No regrets, but after I filled the tag I did spot a big four pointer…we’ll just figure he’ll be even bigger next season."

"As long as you're aware what you're buying, this is an excellent product.
It's a tri-shot, so you *should* be playing this close-range.
Got some extra shells and this makes a fun QCB option, and I've brought it with me every time as a fun little replacement gun that I can throw to someone who's having a bad day.
Stock shell is kinda funky, but you're more than likely considering some extra third-party shells. As long as you do that? You're golden. Zero issues or complaints when using non-stock shells.
"Well Iv has this model for at least 5 years now and put it through a lot of abuse. I just broke the internal spring lock yesterday and she’s down for the count :( but for $50 lasting 5 years with lots of field time is worth it to me.
The full stock definitely gets wobbly real quick.
Not all 3 shot shells will work for it.
Tri shots are one of the most fun guns to use. It’s something different.
"Very good shotgun for the price!
I only have a couple problems with this gun, namely the shell release and the hop-up.
Hop-up is a little strong, even my .20 BBs fly above my target after about 30 feet, requiring me to aim down below the target.

However, when I check the file versions they are the same. I am wondering if anyone else is using the remote solver and if they had any issues getting it working.
the message you get can occur if the firewall stops TCP exchange between your computer and the server. Try deactivating the firewall or set the port of floworks solver service as a granted. | 2019-04-18T19:11:01 | https://forum.solidworks.com/message/18199 |

a draft I kept for a while… as I had to stop MOPS in recent weeks..
That’s quite some tree! And yours is quite some picture. Isn’t that light beautiful?
That tree has a lot of personality! And so does you painting. It’s like one of those Disney trees that you expect to become alive.
woo.. tried to do a tree trick.. did not work.. I’ll practice.. Binky had to paint quick some flowers for my wife earlier today as it is her birthday tomorrow.. could not get out to get a card.. so what better one then own hand made one.. I knew you will be around so I put the kettle on and come to say hello quick.. see you soon.
Those flowers you painted for her are really nice, and I’m sure your wife will appreciate very much. Much better than a store bought card.
I’ll bring some chocolates and scones!
Yes that will save me as I was not out yet for days.. what a great idea my friend.
Chocolates are good no matter what the day!
Beautiful tree Doron – strength and character. Love it!
Such an expressive tree! You did justice to it!
I love me a good tree, well done.
Oh man…you got me there!
Nearly… Have a good week my friend.
How beautiful! And lovely to see your painting with the tree it honours.
Jane it is my pleasure thank you so much. | 2019-04-26T03:39:46 | https://doronart.com/2014/03/06/one-tree/ |
Please refresh the page and retry. F or 17 years, the online dating site eHarmony has closely guarded its matchmaking algorithm. Singles are asked to fill out an extensive list of personal preferences, before the computer programme spits out a list of suitable dates, picked to meet even the most demanding criteria. The Chief Scientist at eHarmony has revealed that although singles are asked to choose likes and dislikes on a sliding scale, unless they pick the extreme ends their answers will be largely ignored. We needed to figure out a way to not allow them to paint themselves into such a corner.
How do they decide who matches up with who? Sometimes, the process is very simple. Each profile has a list of attributes or interests that members check off.
In the past five to ten years, algorithms have been adopted by the financial sector and numerous other businesses that affect everyday lives, including dating. The traditional means of meeting and dating are slowly being replaced by websites and mobile apps. | 2019-04-18T16:49:50 | http://deathrecordssearch.info/jack-off/how-do-online-hookup-algorithms-work.php |

Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) signaling mediates physiological and pathological processes in multiple organs, including the renal podocyte; however, in vivo podocyte [Ca2+]i dynamics are not fully understood. Here we developed an imaging approach that uses multiphoton microscopy (MPM) to directly visualize podocyte [Ca2+]i dynamics within the intact kidneys of live mice expressing a fluorescent calcium indicator only in these cells. [Ca2+]i was at a low steady-state level in control podocytes, while Ang II infusion caused a minor elevation. Experimental focal podocyte injury triggered a robust and sustained elevation of podocyte [Ca2+]i around the injury site and promoted cell-to-cell propagating podocyte [Ca2+]i waves along capillary loops. [Ca2+]i wave propagation was ameliorated by inhibitors of purinergic [Ca2+]i signaling as well as in animals lacking the P2Y2 purinergic receptor. Increased podocyte [Ca2+]i resulted in contraction of the glomerular tuft and increased capillary albumin permeability. In preclinical models of renal fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis, high podocyte [Ca2+]i correlated with increased cell motility. Our findings provide a visual demonstration of the in vivo importance of podocyte [Ca2+]i in glomerular pathology and suggest that purinergic [Ca2+]i signaling is a robust and key pathogenic mechanism in podocyte injury. This in vivo imaging approach will allow future detailed investigation of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of glomerular disease in the intact living kidney.

Activation of the GPCR sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1) by sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) regulates key physiological processes. S1P1 activation also has been implicated in pathologic processes, including autoimmunity and inflammation; however, the in vivo sites of S1P1 activation under normal and disease conditions are unclear. Here, we describe the development of a mouse model that allows in vivo evaluation of S1P1 activation. These mice, known as S1P1 GFP signaling mice, produce a S1P1 fusion protein containing a transcription factor linked by a protease cleavage site at the C terminus as well as a β-arrestin/protease fusion protein. Activated S1P1 recruits the β-arrestin/protease, resulting in the release of the transcription factor, which stimulates the expression of a GFP reporter gene. Under normal conditions, S1P1 was activated in endothelial cells of lymphoid tissues and in cells in the marginal zone of the spleen, while administration of an S1P1 agonist promoted S1P1 activation in endothelial cells and hepatocytes. In S1P1 GFP signaling mice, LPS-mediated systemic inflammation activated S1P1 in endothelial cells and hepatocytes via hematopoietically derived S1P. These data demonstrate that S1P1 GFP signaling mice can be used to evaluate S1P1 activation and S1P1-active compounds in vivo. Furthermore, this strategy could be potentially applied to any GPCR to identify sites of receptor activation during normal physiology and disease.

My Twitter feed normally gets quite busy on a Sunday evening when Forgotten 80s airs on Absolute 80s. Presenter Matthew Rudd writes that the show "delves deeply into the annals of 80s music, featuring the underplayed and the almost completely forgotten, with the intention of rehabilitating the music of a decade that too many people are quick to scorn".
This time last year Absolute 80s was celebrating its seventh birthday. Unlike other posts in this series I've left all the music and adverts intact. | 2019-04-26T16:43:46 | http://andywalmsley.blogspot.com/2017/12/christmas-countdown-4-december.html |
Be My Cat: A Film for Anne. 2016. Directed & Written by Adrian Tofei.
Starring Adrian Tofei, Sonia Teodoriu, Florentina Hariton, & Alexandra Stroe.
Produced by Tofei. 87 minutes.
★★★★ Found footage annoys certain people. Me, I’m always willing to give it a chance. There’s a lot of good stuff out there – unique, innovative stuff. No shortage of it, but now and then you’ve got to dig through a heap of trash to find the diamonds. Be My Cat: A Film for Anne uses its found footage premise well, driving the main theme of the film: obsession.
Director and writer Adrian Tofei blurs the line between fiction and reality so well that at times it’s easy to forget you’re watching a film. Using the idea of trying to get the attention of Anne Hathaway in Hollywood, Tofei puts himself in the lead role of a director badly wanting to make a movie with her. This isn’t exactly a totally original premise. It’s the way Tofei enacts his plot, the dread which follows and everything in between that makes this slice of found footage different.
As is the case with most of the sub-genre, this entry doesn’t have much style to it. That matters not. Tofei’s acting, his eerie presence, and the raw qualities of the filming, these are elements which make this a worthwhile watch for any fans of the found footage style.
There are plenty films involving stalkers in this sub-genre, but they’re so often masked, or unseen behind the camera’s lens. Tofei is upfront and centre the entire time. This allows us a way into his mind, giving the audience a passenger side seat to the psychosis that overtakes him gradually; or maybe it’s been with him the whole time. Either way, it’s ugly. Not in a way which detracts from the story. There’s a compelling feel to watching this guy unravel.
Obsession is the theme driving everything. Underneath, this film is about the blur between fiction and reality. Philosopher Jean Baudrillard talked about the simulacra and how the world’s become hyperreal, in that everything real has more so become just a form of something fictional we all recognise (that’s a very liberal take on his extensive concept). In a way, this is how Be My Cat is structured. Tofei dives deeper and deeper with each scene into that psychosis I mentioned, along with the audience. The further he gets into the movie he’s making to send Anne, the more he feels justified in the things he’s doing. “This is the sacrifice I‘m making,” he tells the camera, as if urging us to believe in him. What happens is a process of dissociation. Tofei dissociates from the self, becoming his character – Adrian, himself – far too literally. Reminding us that he is in fact this character Adrian and not the real Adrian, he says: “I would never do something like this.” Real murder becomes mere character action, the progression of his psychosis is then development in his dangerous metafiction view of the world, through his film. It’s like method acting gone past the point of normal psychology.
The story’s trajectory is relatively obvious. Early on we understand there’s something not quite right with Adrian. Doesn’t take long. It’s how he takes us there that makes the plan uniquely terrifying. Adrian’s kinda crazy, kinda nonchalant attitude is unsettling, at the same time not wholly without charm either. His character, gradually flipping from fiction to reality to metafiction, engages the audience even in the slower scenes. You can’t help wondering what he’ll do or say next, which keeps you off balance, and never quite capable of pinning him down with any understanding.
A pivotal moment for his character comes when he says that “boys and dogs are bullies” when he talks about girls and cats. We hear a bit about why he likes cats, or why the character likes them. And this is one major point of division between Adrian and his fictional character Adrian. There’s a clear line you can follow, watching the dissociation get worse.
This movie isn’t built on shock value, either. You expect it to be, but what the story focuses on most is Adrian’s descent into fiction that becomes brutally real. Along the way there’s obviously blood. Rather than go for a gory mess constantly, the blood is at times partly off-screen and the full nastiness is hidden. What’s worse is one scene where a victim comes upon a slow realisation that Adrian is actually preparing to do a homemade dissection on her. Too creepy. He fully dissociates from reality at this point, the ultimate separation, and doesn’t for a single second come to grips with the real murder he’s committing.
I remember hearing of Be My Cat and just the short description, the Twitter account, caught my attention. There’s an edgy psychological aspect that sinks its teeth in and never lets go. Admittedly, I know that some may not find it as compelling. Not everyone wants to do a slow burn into madness in found footage format. And that’s fine, I understand. I suggest giving it a chance. Tofei has done something here that’s on the verge of greatness.
There are times you might feel the acting isn’t up to par. I disagree. Tofei’s uncomfortable moments are used to good effect, and that also plays into the worrisome metafiction of the film overall. The performances of the actresses are equally as impressive. When you fall down the rabbit hole of despair alongside the fictional Adrian Tofei and his unsuspecting victims it’s all the more troubling that the performances on either side of the murder-victim aisle pull you into a space where fiction gets questionable.
Can’t recommend this film enough. I’ve seen it described as revolutionary for the found footage sub-genre, as dangerous, many other things. They’re pretty much all right, as far as I’m concerned. Looking forward to whatever this guy takes on next. If Be My Cat is any indication, Tofei has an intriguing perspective on the horror genre. | 2019-04-25T06:21:44 | https://fathersonholygore.com/2016/12/12/be-my-cat-a-film-for-anne-is-one-blurry-line-between-movies-murder/ |

Good morning and welcome to the conference „On Meaning and Interpretation Authority: Claims in Qualitative Research“. Although Frankfurt may be home to many of you, some others have undertaken quite a journey to join the conference. We greatly appreciate this and hope that the coffee will be strong enough to countervail your trans-Atlantic and trans-African jetlags. Thank you all for coming to this conference and contributing to its (hopeful) success by giving speeches and chairing workshops, presenting posters and participating in the general discussions. It is a pleasure to be here with you today.
As you may have seen in the programme, I planned to share this pleasure with my colleague Angela Kühner, who has co-organized this conference during her visiting professorship for qualitative methods. Unfortunately Angela became ill and I would like to frame this introduction by emphasizing the collaborative nature of this conference, which is rooted in a longstanding research, exchange and discussion process between the two of us.
Addressing “Positions, strategies and perspectives of (self-)critical knowledge production” in qualitative research at a scientific conference is a matter of course and a tricky thing at the same time.
It seems to be a matter of course on the one hand because despite the ongoing diversification of the qualitative paradigm critical claims are essential for the professional self-concept of most us who identify as qualitative and socially responsible researchers. (I take this collective “us” for granted, at least for the sake of my argument in this introduction – another problematic claim of course.) Probably it is no coincidence that many innovative developments in qualitative methodology have been driven by critical social sciences like gender, psychosocial or postcolonial studies in the last decade.
On the other hand, applying the implicit or explicit critical claims to one’s own research practices sometimes poses considerable challenges. It happens that we find ourselves in research situations, when it seems to be difficult – or even impossible – to implement and do justice to our theoretical or ethical (as methodological) claims, when theoretically sound critique meets paradigmatically bound methodologies. Of course we can talk about these experiences internally in our working groups or confidentially with close colleagues – but talking about them at a public scientific conference? It frames these denominations differently. What does it mean there – that is: here – not only to abstractly admit but personally prove that qualitative research always faces a certain precariousness and moments of failure? Beyond feelings of narcissistic mortification, how may it effect our (real or anticipated) recognition in the scientific community and its attributions of competence? Suddenly the stakes are high.
Having said this the conference has a lot in common with a qualitative research project itself, a kind of experiment, perhaps even a crisis experiment in Garfinkel’s sense. It temporarily brings a space into being to critically reflect how our scientific habitus copes with dilemma situations in qualitative research through certain – often ad hoc – practices, when we cannot – or do not want to – rely on formal and authorized rules.
We assume that these challenges we are confronted with in our everyday research practice, these experiences of demanding references to our critical claims, that they are not incomparable individual cases that have to do only with a specific choice of research question, time or financial resources. In contrast we assume that they point to structural dilemmas that are inscribed into the scientific knowledge production in qualitative research itself.
Structural conflicts also emerge, if we assume that our social as critical research requires scientific authorization itself to have a certain impact. Regarding a potential claim of a critical deconstruction of the hegemonic scientific discourse and the societal and political practices that it legitimize, one can raise the question: How can I be heard, if I aim at radically challenging the very conditions of the possibility of speaking itself because I perceive them to be saturated with power and producing manifold exclusions? Which standards do I have to submit to be read and taken serious and how does this subordination effect my position and the power of critique of the discourse that I am still part of? To what extend do possible subversive strategies just self-reflexively rotate around themselves and self-referentially lose the subject-matter of research?
Another thematic field I would like to mention is related to the increasingly important claims of participation of those that were traditionally perceived as mere objects of research. We might agree that the topos of “giving voice to the other” is highly problematic because it always goes along with a paternalistic research position. But what does it, then, mean in our research practice to let the other speak of herself? Where is the necessary limit of participation, if our activity is to be recognized as a scientific research practice and not just any social or political activism? And who is in the position to define this limit? How easy am I tempted to enforce my claims as a professional researcher in the process of a joint interpretation of data? Given the significance of scientific authorship – do I, at the end of the day, really affiliate the co- and peer researchers on my journal paper?
Finally: How do we cope with competing methodical claims in times of a codification in qualitative research? How is the dilemma to be aware of the relativity of one’s own theoretical or methodological position on the one hand and to sustain the will to produce significant „true“ knowledge on the other expressed in our research practice?
These more general questions that will be subject to more detailed and empirically based explorations in the thematic workshops crosscut disciplines and established discursive fields, are not just asked in sociology or with regard to gender issues or particular methods. As a consequence we made the decision not to re-disciplinise the discussion at this conference by, for instance, offering workshops on social science methods, biographical research or the narrative interview. In contrast we see a particular chance of this conference in its potential to bring together quite different disciplines, discursive references, research questions and methodical approaches in which similar challenges occur. The conference, therefore, is about an exchange of difficult experiences in conceptualizing and conducting qualitative research from critical positions. It is about sharing strategies that we may have developed ad hoc or reflexively post hoc to cope with these difficulties, sometimes more, sometimes less productively. And it is about perspectives, whether these strategies can be translated from the individual case into a broader methodological and methodic discussion in qualitative research. We all have questions, right? And, hopefully, some answers as well.
In this sense Bourdieus expectation for an inspiring seminar reflects our expectation for this conference. He writes – I quote in German: “Was ich erwarte, ist gerade kein formvollendeter, das heißt defensiver und in sich geschlossener Diskurs, der (verständlicherweise) vor allem eines soll, nämlich die Angst vor Kritik bannen; sondern eine einfache, bescheidene Darstellung der Arbeit, die man gemacht hat, der Schwierigkeiten, auf die man gestoßen ist, der Probleme usw. Nichts ist so allgemein und verallgemeinerbar wie die Schwierigkeiten. Es wird mit Sicherheit ein Trost für jeden sein, dass so manche Schwierigkeit, die er auf seine eigene Unbeholfenheit oder Inkompetenz geschoben hat, bei allen auftritt; und alle werden realer von den scheinbar ganz auf den Eintelfall zugeschnittenen Ratschlägen profitieren“, die – und hier verändere ich Bourdieus Aussage ein wenig – wir gemeinsam erarbeiten können.
The conference, hence, brings together social and political scientist, pedagogical and ethnological researchers and even literary scholars from, for example, critical migration, gender and postcolonial studies, discourse and psychoanalyses. With this regard it seems to be at quite „right“ here in Frankfurt as a paradigmatic place of critique with its versatile traditions of thinking.
Within this lively academic patchwork the conference was initiated from a particular social psychological perspective that tries to interlink research on subjectivity, reflexivity and critical knowledge production with the endeavour to conceptually and methodologically integrate doubts, uncertainties and ambivalences as normal and productive into qualitative research. Understanding the conference as kind of a crisis experiment with regard to us as organizers and all of us in this particular situation of the conference has been posing two questions: Who would come? And what would –or will – happen? And in the light of the difficulties to publicly speak about the outlined dilemmas we would not identify as sociological social psychologists, if we haven’t thought about taking up the anticipated conference dynamics in our concept. A couple of specific reflexive elements are inscribed in the conference flow. One is the panel with open participant observers at the end of each day that shall allow for reflecting about what has been said and what could not be said and why – or why not. Metaphorically and non-metaphysically speaking: the conference observes itself. At the flip chart over there you will have the opportunity to bring in your own impressions, observations and critical remarks during the conference. Just take a card, for example during coffee break or the poster forum, and pin down your comment. In addition, there will be an open space in the last workshop phase tomorrow that you can use freely use to discuss questions and issues that might come up in the course of the conference but are not yet represented in the program. This other flip chart over there is meant for all participants of this conference to collect possible ideas of what one could imagine to be interesting to discuss in the open space. A somewhat paradoxical aim: We really wish that something new might emerge in the conference discussion that would break up the framework of the conference – but, nevertheless, in a proper and controlled space, of course.
Having said this I am already in the middle of some brief notes on the concept and structure of this conference. It is aimed at bringing together programmatic keynote speeches, more interactive workshops, reflection panels and a poster forum in the late afternoon today. On a conference website we would like to continue the discussion that will have begun here hopefully. In a password protected website area we will make articles, papers and the PowerPoint presentations of the conference available and will provide an open discussion forum. You are warmly invited to participate in this process. The informal registration that is necessary due to copyright can be done at the reception counter or by email.
Let me advise you of three distinctive features of this conference: Firstly, the systematic inclusion of students in the process of conceptualising, organising and performing the conference seems to be noteworthy. Not only do Vesna Glavaski, Constanze Oth, Aisha-Nusrat Ahmad and Benjamin Klemm as students of sociology at the faculty officially act as co-organisers of the conference, the former two have initiated two workshops sessions autonomously, one with a distinct call for papers for student’s qualification theses. Even at the risk of sounding a bit paternalistic: You’de done a marvellous job! We regard a student’s involvement in the scientific discourse and in research practices at any early stage to be essential. Following this claim we have made the decision not to raise a conference fee to avoid the exclusion mechanisms based on economic resources and to allow students to participate in the scientific exchange.
Secondly, the conference is aimed at encouraging young academics. The poster forum for the presentation of their research experiences after the second workshop phase means a venture of course. We are quite aware of the challenges that occur when one tries to fix critical methodological reflections on a DIN a 1 format. Our special thanks therefore are addressed to the seven researchers from Germany and Austria for their courage and efforts. We are looking forward to seeing how you have met these challenges and your own theoretical and critical claims and discussing your findings or questions in a cooperative and helpful atmosphere.
Thirdly, you certainly have not missed the curious mix of languages in the context of the conference: in the propaganda materials like flyers, booklets, the website, in the overall communications, here at the conference itself. The keynote lectures by our speakers from London and Toronto will be given in English, some workshops will be carried out in German, some in English. Just take the detailed description of the particular sessions in the booklet for orientation. Of course I could peripateticly try to legitimate the language patchwork conceptually by emphasising the promotional effects on communication and interaction or the idea of qualitative research as an interpretative endeavour for understanding that may be staged here. The simple truth is that it just happened in the course of the conference preparation. There will be an English translation from the Spanish today as well, but unfortunately we did not manage to offer a sign language translator for the keynote lectures to work against the structural exclusion of people from a scientific discourse that is so much based on the spoken word. We hope, however, that you will engage in this mix-up of languages, that you may enjoy it at least a bit, and help each other when ad hoc translations should be necessary.
As another challenge of this conference we will have to change locations several times: for the workshops within this building today and to the Campus Westend tomorrow. Our apologies for any inconvenience related to the campus migration that has become necessary due to the ongoing semester lectures and the comparatively short prearrangement of the conference. The first keynote lecture following this introduction and the reflection panel on intermediate results at the end of the day will take place in this auditorium. The posters will be presented in the foyer after the second workshop phase. However, they are displayed throughout the conference. For the sessions of each of the two workshop phases today we reserved three rooms in this building. In addition to the auditorium one will be performed in the Alter Senatssaal one level below, another one in room 32 B on ground level. You should have received a plan with the locations where the sessions are scheduled at the reception. Please note that some sessions had to be undergone changes due to illness of speakers. The directions to the rooms are signposted, but be free to approach any of our team, if you have problems finding your way.
Please also appeal to us concerning lunch options in this area. At the reception you can find information and maps that not only include the obligatory canteen at the campus but different restaurants and bistros nearby.
To meet your smaller physical or psychological needs during the conference different coffees, teas and soft drinks as well as hand-made brownies and carrot cake are available in front of the auditorium. This refers to a very personal concern: There are, you know, quite different kinds of conferences: small and large ones, weeklong and half-day-short ones, some are inspiring, others quite boring, some are traditionally organized, others – well – avant-garde. But they usually have one thing in common: that is bad coffee. Therefore, the offer of the two guys in the foyer who are responsible for the catering at this conference to serve the city’s best coffee was really convincing. I just couldn’t resist to finally be able to organize a conference with good coffee and to have the opportunity to support a former student’s project at the same time.
The other side of the story, however, is the dilemma that came along with the simultaneous realisation of both of our claims to provide free and open access to the conference and create a pleasant conference atmosphere by a tasty catering service: some kind of a financial gap. Sincerely hoping that you might appreciate both things as well, that both things are – in a precise sense – worth to you, we kindly ask you for a contribution that can be made at donation boxes at the registration and the coffee bar.
And in case your abundance of passion to this conference and catering service will result in a profit in this particular issue the money will be turned over to the faculty’s students committee for the organization of an autonomous methods tutorial.
You then would then be joining the illustrious cooperation and sponsorship partners that make such a conference possible. Hence, we would like to express our gratitude to the Methodenzentrum Sozialwissenschaften, the Cornelia Goethe Center for Women’s and Gender Studies, the International Postgraduate Center Social Sciences, the Stiftung zur Förderung der internationalen wissenschaftlichen Beziehungen der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität and the Institute for the Foundations of Social Sciences for their support of the conference.
We also like to thank the administration, management and technical staff, the speakers and workshop organizers of course and – last but not least – Hannes who developed the intriguing layout and corporate design of our propaganda materials.
Coming to the end of this introduction and referring again to the perception of the conference as a crisis experiment I would like to express my hope that the remarkable and unexpected response the conference has gotten may be a promising sign that our wishes will be fulfilled: that the exchange of the research experiences in this room will give new impulses for the qualitative methods discussion in general and our own empirical research practices; and that through our discussions we can continue developing and strengthening international scientific networks beyond disciplinary boundaries and discursive fields. We just tried to assemble an appealing program and give some space for a fruitful conference discussion, and now it’s up to you to fill this space with your experiences, ideas and – of course – critique.
In this spirit I am looking forward to an exciting conference with lots of critical moments. But before I may introduce our first keynote speaker it is my pleasure to pass over for a brief welcome address of the Faculty of Social Sciences to the faculty’s vize dean, Birgit Blättel-Mink. | 2019-04-21T16:49:42 | https://www.methodenkritik.de/programm/introduction/ |

How do I get more done during the day? How do I get more done in less time? How do I get more done at work? These are all questions I hear all the time. I have an answer that can help everyone.
About a year ago I wrote a post on the importance of knowing your own timing. Click here to read it (then come back).
Every one of us has personal timing, that time of day (or night) when we’re most productive, in the best mood, and just an all around better person (and a lot more pleasant to be around). When we try to fight that timing, we end up frustrated and mad at ourselves for not getting everything that needs to be handled done in a timely manner. Then we end up in a spiral of guilt, shame, and anger towards ourselves.
Knowing your personal timing and adjusting your tasks to best fit that timing can make all the difference in the world and really can be the most simple way to get more done.
For the next few days (or weeks) notice what time of day you’re most productive, in the best mood, and motivated to get things done. Then schedule the most important things for that time.

Importance of health and medicine has enhanced the life expectancy of human beings. For last hundred years' medicinal processes and medical equipment are proved to be the boon to human health for diagnosing properly and for applying proper medicines to the patient.
The medicine word is derived from the Latin word ' ars medicina', meaning 'the art of healing'. Egyptian had advanced medicine systems at their time. Egyptians and Babylonians introduced the method of diagnosis and medical examination. Greece added further advancement in medical surgery system. Thus the history of medicine is a bigger subject. However I want to clear one thing that real advancement in medical science started from the midst of 20th century. In this period of time computerized instruments dragged the medical diagnosis at the peak level for simplified case study of diseases . The energy thrown in research of medical science is proving that human effort has adopted medicine subject as one of the most important subject for ensuring our health free from diseases.
Research is always driven by business opportunities. So we can say that many business groups somehow noticed and found the depth and width of marketability and expending capacities of human beings for securing their health. Thus ultimately the large market in health sector opened the opportunities for business. Thus it became a win win business model for customers as well as sellers.
Medicine has opened a reliable methods of curing and protecting human lives. It showed the various ways of diagnosing the diseases of human beings. X-ray technology in the midst of twentieth century provided new technique of diagnosis. It ignited the human mind to do more research to find other sophisticated technology for adding value in medical science. Due to consistent effort of doctors and scientists now we have latest medical equipment like ECG machine, EEG, City Scan machine, High quality medicine packaging machines, Computerised blood testing machine, digital diabetic testing machine, digital blood pressure testing machine and many more.
But the most usable equipment in today's time is smart mobile. I am telling one small event. One day I went to a doctor for my son's health problem. I talked with doctor about lasts medicine used and diagnosis undergone. I only could tell the name of the medicine. Then doctor told me do you know the composition of that medicine, because there are many brand names for one type of composition. Then I told no doctor I couldn't. Then suddenly an idea came in my mind. I opened my mobile and googled for the medicine and found the composition. Doctor appraised me and told really you have shown that smart phone is doing wonder for all of us. Then doctor recommended a medicine. I googled and got all pros and cones of that medicine instantly in front of the doctor and told that isn't it give any side effect. Doctor replied my all queries and advised me correctly.

Decision Day: Where Does the James Street Baptist Church Demolition Permit Stand?
Today, the Municipal Heritage Permit Review Subcommittee will meet to decide the fate of the 130-year-old James Street Baptist Church.
Today, the Municipal Heritage Permit Review Subcommittee will meet to decide the fate of the 130-year-old James Street Baptist Church. The owner of the building, who purchased it in June for $610,000, is asking demolish 80% of the structure and retain the front two towers.
Join us at 12:00 noon for live coverage including video, as the Subcommittee makes a decision to recommend or deny the demolition permit request.
James Street Baptist Church was built between 1878 and 1882 in the Gothic Revival style. A designated heritage building under the Ontario Heritage Act, it is the only non-Roman Catholic Church designed by architect Joseph Connolly). Connolly designed Hamilton's St. Patrick Church as well.
James Baptist's heritage designation protects the slate roof and exterior walls of the building.
It served its congregation for 130 years and helped to spawn other Baptist churches across Hamilton. James Baptist played a major role in bring University of Toronto's Baptist college, McMaster College, to Hamilton. Today, that college is known as McMaster University.
James Baptist was sold to Stanton Renaissance in June 2013 for $610,000. Its assessed value is $1.5 million, and it was originally listed for $1.1 million.
Louie Santaguida is the president of Stanton Renaissance, a Toronto-based development company. Stanton Renaissance's website states they are "planning a 22-30-storey mixed-use building, including retail, commercial space, a boutique hotel and residences" for the site.
There are no plans for the site, and Santaguida told the Subcommittee two weeks ago the company needs to do market research before developing one.
"It's easy for me to say demolish it," said Santaguida two weeks ago. "I don't want to do that. We want to keep as much of the building as possible."
"Others were going to demo the building," he said. "I thought it could be saved ... the unfortunate part is it is not structurally sound."
Santaguida is also president of Terrasan Corp. Two of Terrasan's divisions filed for bankruptcy in 2011 - its cleanup division, Terrasan Environmental Solutions, and Terrasan Metal Fabricators.
Drew Hauser is a well-respected Hamilton architect with an extensive portfolio of successful adaptive reuses of heritage properties. He is a principal with McCallum Sather Architects Inc..
He stated to the subcommittee that Mr. Santaguida's plan is the best option for preservation of some of the church, stating many others would demolition the entire structure due to its poor condition.
Grant Milligan of Quinn Dressel Associates is the engineer who helped produce the 129 page report that states James Street Baptist Church cannot be economically be saved.
The firm was engineers for one of the most famous heritage projects in Canadian history, the work on Montreal's Christ Church Cathedral that saw the building stabilized for the construction of an underground mall and foundation improvements.
The City of Hamilton's Planning withheld the 129 page report from the subcommittee until the beginning of the meeting two weeks ago. This led to the subcommittee tabling the matter until a special meeting.
Heritage isn't a major priority for the division, considering that there has not been a heritage designation under the Ontario Heritage Act in Hamilton since 2008.
There is no unsafe order from the City for the church building.
The committee is comprised of citizen volunteers, all of whom have a passion for heritage.
It's a committee that doesn't normally see any public coverage.
Its monthly meetings at held at the same time as City Council meetings. Until a recent settlement with the City of Hamilton that sees the City release public agendas to the public, the subcommittee's agendas were not available.
The subcommittee is extremely skeptical of the developer's report and request. Chair Michael Adkins said he has "heard these stories of doom before."
The subcommittee will conduct a site visit of the church prior to their meeting.
Santaguida, Hauser and Richard Ramos, president and CEO of Stanton Renaissance, all say the building is structurally unsound and that most of it cannot be salvaged. Under their request, only the front towers and front wall will remain.
Milligan says church use is hard on buildings, due to factors such as inconsistent heating, which is "cranked up Sunday morning" and then turned down for the rest of the week. He said temperature variations, such as freeze-thaw cycles, are especially damaging upon stone buildings. The north side of the church, with no sun exposure, is especially damaged.
Hauser said they reviewed all options, but there are "significant problems with the interior and foundation" of the building.
The Committee is expected to request an independent structural assessment by an engineer be done on the church before making any recommendation on the demolition permit.
Moral of the story: Never buy real estate on good faith.
If only the buyer had talked to the prior owner.
Or just read the news.
"The congregation just recently finished paying off the 3.2M it spent on repairs, upgrades and wheelchair accessibility 20 years ago. That bill was supposed to have been 1.5M."
3.2M in 1992 would be something like 4.7M today. | 2019-04-25T20:08:18 | http://www.raisethehammer.org/article/1973/decision_day:_where_does_the_james_street_baptist_church_demolition_permit_stand |
