Plaid on the Plains, celebrated annually in the Russell area the weekend after Thanksgiving, promotes shopping with locally owned businesses during the holiday season. Russell residents and visitors will enjoy a full weekend of fun and fellowship, shopping and sharing.
Plaid on the Plains kicks off with Plaid Friday, the small business alternative to Black Friday, on November 23. The American Express initiative, Small Business Saturday follows the next day. The three-day event wraps up with Sunday Funday.
Plaid Friday was first celebrated in 2009 in Oakland, California, a city known for strong "shop local" campaigns. The Plaid Friday movement has grown across the nation, and even more so in the Russell area. Starting in 2010, Encore Antiques and Collectables hosted Plaid Friday events and in 2014 Encore Antiques encouraged local businesses to become involved. The Russell County Convention and Visitors Bureau stepped in to support the local Plaid Friday efforts by providing a limited number of plaid shopping bags filled with goodies and local information.
Small Business Saturday was first observed in the United States in 2010, and encourages holiday shoppers to patronize brick and mortar businesses that are small and local. The first event was sponsored and promoted by American Express via a nationwide radio and television advertising campaign. Encore first celebrated Small Business Saturday in 2011 and was named a Small Business Saturday Neighborhood Champion in 2017.
Rounding out the holiday weekend, Sunday Funday includes a variety of events around town, allowing families to enjoy time together and pick up a few more bargains.
Encore Antiques and Collectables serves as the headquarters for Plaid on the Plains. Shoppers are encouraged to start their Plaid on the Plains adventures at Encore where they can pick up their plaid shopping bag and the 2018 Shop Sheet. The Shop Sheet provides an overview of each participating business as well as a schedule of events for Sunday Funday. The Russell County Convention and Visitors Bureau and KRSL Russell Radio have assisted with outreach and Office Products, Inc. of Russell (OPI) has provided print and copy services.
"At Encore, we encourage folks to wear plaid when they're out and about as a visible reminder to think local first," said Sheryl Krug, co-owner of Encore Antiques and Collectables and local Plaid on the Plains coordinator. "On Plaid Friday at Encore, we offer discounts to all shoppers, but reward those shoppers wearing plaid with a gift." Other Russell retailers will be offering a variety of discounts and promotions.

It was about nine o’clock in the morning, I was outside putting my clothes out to dry.
He showed me a vision.
It was daytime, all of a sudden I could see a black shadow in the form of a huge mist, covering the day into darkness.
It was moving very slowly until it covered the whole world. It was a solid black mist.
Our Lord chose that day would turn into night, so that people could see that God is in charge.
Spirits may call out to us, to open the doors. They will be imitating our relatives, but do not open the doors to anyone.
After that experience, I saw a renewed world. It was instantly green and so much sunshine. There will be peace in the world and everyone will praise and thank God for it. | 2019-04-20T21:01:54 | http://valentina-sydneyseer.com.au/message-from-mid-1990s/ |

Laurel Park is a friendly neighborhood with a high sense of community spirit which stands out among Sarasota Florida real estate developments. It is populated by a diverse and delightful mix of residents which include young urban professionals, musicians, artists, families, singles and retirees.
Major roads of Metro Sarasota bound the perimeter of this community. To its north is Ringling Blvd. while Mound Street is to its south. Another principal thoroughfare, Orange Avenue lies west of the neighborhood while Washington Blvd. is to its east. Osprey Avenue also passes through the middle of Laurel Park while Main Street is just a block away to the north.
More than its pivotal location, the community has a distinct historical identity that earned for it a slot in the roster of the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. This listing is conferred to districts that are deemed to be recognized and preserved because of their meritorious architecture or significance in local, regional, or national history. The architectural merit of the community is accounted for mainly by its residences that were built during the 1920s.
Be that as it may, inventories of Sarasota homes for sale also feature Laurel Park residences of more recent vintage. The community is, in fact, an eclectic mix of granny flats, single family homes, old duplex residences, and charming apartment buildings. Among these hundred of residential options too are alternatives for vacation rental homes that can be self-liquidating investments.
Some of the original residences that are listed among Sarasota homes for sale can be attractive at the mid-priced range. A single family home circa 1925 with meticulous upgrades can be in the market with a quoted price thereabouts of $190,000, featuring two bedrooms and a bath in its floor plan of 786 square feet. Residences of recent construction can be priced attractively as well. A starting price in the low $300s can be quoted for a single family residence with a floor area of around 1,500 square feet.
For the luxurious and more upscale choices, there are condo units in the Laurel Park area offered around the million-dollar price level. A unit constructed in 2007 with some 3,000 square feet of living area, three bedrooms and three baths can be featured among Sarasota real estate properties having asking prices in the $1.25 million level.
Owing to their downtown location, the Laurel Park residents can easily weave their lifestyle in synch with the pulse beat of Sarasota’s metro district. A slew of shopping, dining, and entertainment places are walking distance from the community. Additional leisure options are as easily accessible at Bayfront Drive and onward across the Ringling Causeway to St. Armands Circle and the fabulous beaches of Lido and Longboat Keys which further add to the merits of Laurel Park homes for sale.
Below are all of the current real estate listings available for sale at Laurel Park. | 2019-04-26T01:49:56 | https://sarasotabayrealestate.com/laurel-park-real-estate-for-sale/ |

The creation of designer babies has been given the green light by Britain’s most respected medical ethics body.
The Nuffield Council on Bioethics said that there should be no fundamental moral bar to parents genetically modifying their children, provided certain criteria were followed.
The authors of the report — senior geneticists, ethicists and lawyers — said that we should not necessarily restrict future DNA editing to curing inherited disease but also keep open the possibility of enhancing humans. | 2019-04-24T00:04:28 | https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/no-moral-bar-to-creating-designer-babies-medical-ethics-body-claims-2hd0nql56 |

When I was growing up I always knew that animals went to Dog Heaven when they passed and that they, like humans have an immortal soul and continue to live after their life on Earth. I refused to believe that their death was simply the end of their existence.
I really can’t say how I came to this conclusion, but now I know it was something that I intuitively knew, it had always formed part of my psych, lodged somewhere on a sub-conscious level. You probably know the feeling, you know but you don’t know how you know.
I was overjoyed when I discovered that my deceased animal companions came back to visit me, making their visits apparent with a sound or with the enactment of a familiar action, immediately recognizable as their own.
In the months after his passing, Mac-Tavish continued to visit his human and animal family. He announced his arrival in quite an unique manner. There was definitely a deep connection between him and the dove as it would call loudly from the tree outside our bedroom window and then the most beautiful fragrance would fill the air. It appeared to be a mixture of lavender, rosemary and rose geranium. It didn’t matter whether I was in the house or garden, or if it was day or night, when he chose to visit, always accompanied by the herby smell.
I would often sense him at the front gate, a favourite place where he used to lie and wait our return home. I could see his laughing eyes, his smiling mouth, tongue lolling to the side, as he “smiled” a happy-to-see-you-back- home-smile, with his tail wagging furiously. It was amazing, the fragrance was so strong and the vision very vivid, clear confirmation that he was really there.
The smell of the herbs continued to waft through the house during the night and in the early hours of the morning as he kept up is visits, often with the dove’s call. Sometimes I’d just be sitting, not doing anything special and he would tickle my nose with his special smell, I’d get a ‘hi, just popping in’ sort of impression.
I realised that Mac felt the need to visit and comfort us with his presence as our hearts were still on the long journey to healing. As time progressed the pain lessened and so did his visits along with his special fragrance, except for an occasional whiff wafting through, just a gently reminder that he was still looking out for us.
Farewell dearest Mackie boy, may your soul fly on wings of love to the Light. We love you. Thank you for everything you taught me about animal telepathic communication and reincarnation. See you at the Rainbow Bridge one day.
In mid December ’09 Mac’s health began a downward spiral and we knew that his departure was imminent. During this time I gave him numerous Reiki treatments and sent him distant healing when things got rough during the night, asking for help with his transition. We hoped that he would make the decision to pass on his own, but he lingered on, with a diminishing appetite.
I asked him to give me a sign indicting that he wanted to be released from this world when he was ready, should the deterioration escalate. On 23 December a dove flew into the house, it circled the kitchen where I was busy preparing a meal, flew into the dining room, circled a few times before flying back into the kitchen and exiting. I knew that this was a message from Spirit, as birds are universally considered Divine Messengers as they move between the earth and the heavens.
Confirmation came that night. His hind legs collapsed and we had to carry him inside, being a big dog it wasn’t easy.
It was a difficult night and sleep eluded us. Mac-Tavish cried out periodically, while the dove called relentlessly from the tree outside our bedroom window, seemingly offering him his wise counsel. I send him distant healing as often as I could and shed many tears into my pillow, as dawn’s long fingers unfurled and caressed the slumbering earth.
Before we left for the vet I said good bye, I told him that I released him in love and Light, I thanked him for everything and for the wonderful life we’d shared together over the past sixteen years. I told him it was time now, for him to fly quickly to the light on the other side.
We brought his body back home. While we awaited the arrival of Louré from Petangels Pet Cremation Services, I lit a candle in his honour with some incense and sent Reiki again to assist the journey of his soul to the Light.
A few weeks later we had a family ritual at our Labyrinth of Animal Remembrance and scattered Mac’s ashes. We also honoured him by painting his name on a stone and placing it on a special spot in the labyrinth. This small act is symbolic of the healing that takes place over time. The writing on the stone will fade with time; and in time we begin to recover from the grief and loss of losing a loved one. Healing the empty feeling we carry inside that is the aching hole in our hearts.
One of my earlier Reiki clients was a man who’d been a heavy smoker for many years. He was then in his mid sixties and suffered from emphysema. He’d undergone several lung operations and was still recovering from an operation when he came to see me. He’d tried many times to give up his nicotine addiction, but had been unsuccessful. He also suffered from insomnia. His breathing was very laboured and he wheezed badly.
I began the session with my usual prayer and centred and grounded myself. I drew the Reiki symbols and requested protection from negativity and asked for assistance and guidance from God, Reiki guides and other spiritual helpers.
I immediately felt the wonderful healing power surge through my hands as they heated up when I began the treatment. I channelled Universal healing energy, blissfully aware of being in tune with the Universe, of being vibrantly connected to the Source. It’s the most magical feeling which I cannot justly describe. This is what I enjoy doing most of all – being connected to the higher spiritual realms.
As we progressed his breathing eased and I felt his tense muscles finally relax.
I was working over the chest area when I psychically saw two black shapes, resembling black beetles and wondered why the guides were showing them to me. I was extremely puzzled as the vision remained. Suddenly I heard a guide’s voice saying ‘Fill the lungs with gold!’ I immediately channelled gold light and saw the shapes change from black to gold. Only then, did I realise that I had been seeing my client’s scarred, nicotine-filled lungs. ‘Flush the body with gold light’ said the voice again. I channelled gold light again, flushing the entire body with its brilliance.
As my client sipped Reikied water after the session, he said it was the most incredible experience he’d ever had. He was in awe of the heat that was emitted from my hands and most of all by the fact that he hadn't felt the need to use his asthma pump during the treatment, in fact his wheezing was barely audible.
When he phoned me the next day, he babbled excitedly: ‘It was most extraordinary, the heat from your hands stayed with me for about four hours – it even misted up the car windows as I dove home.’ He said his cat had suffered a bad facial injury on one side of her face and was bind in one eye. ‘When I arrived home she followed me around until I sat down. She then climbed up on my chest and snuggled up inside my shirt with her injured face buried in my chest. She remained there for about an hour, just absorbing the energy.’ This was an usual action for this cat as since the accident she had not allowed anyone to touch her face.
That night his stomach and lungs eliminated and expectorated their dark toxic waste. He couldn’t believe how much better he felt after just one treatment. He was in the process of relocating to another province, so he only managed a few more treatments. During that time his sleep improved and he managed to cut down dramatically on his smoking.
Sending distant Reiki is a wonderful means of helping wild animals to heal from wounds, injuries and other mishaps which befall them in the wild. The only information required is the breed of animal, for your reference and their location. The following story indicates the creative manner in which it can be used.
A friend who was then living on a farm in the Soutpansberg area in Louis Trichardt, South Africa contacted me in 2003. Rozanna urgently requested help for a neighbouring farmer. A lynx (a type of wild cat) had been killing his sheep and he was reluctant to shoot her. He was prepared to find another solution so she asked me to try and contact the Lynx and communicate the danger to her.
I began the session with the Reiki symbols and the distant healing symbol assisted me to connect with her immediately. I focused on my heart chakra (the area in the centre of my chest) and I felt a deep connection with her, as I visualised a beautiful pink light flowing my heart to hers. I asked permission to communicate with her. I felt her acknowledgement as my hands heated up. I psychically saw her, just standing there, with her head held to the side, as if she was listening to something entrancing. I told her telepathically that she had to stop killing the sheep immediately and showed her a picture of a gun. I let her know that if she continued she would be shot and killed. I urged her to go higher up into the mountains where there was an abundant supply of suitable wild animals she could hunt for food.
I sent Reiki to the situation and requested help from the Reiki Guides and Holy Angels. After a while my hands grew very hot as she accepted the energy. Then something amazing happened. I felt that I had merged with her. I was in her body, looking out through her eyes. I was running along the ground though tall clumps of thatching grass. I could feel the ground moving beneath me, my heart was pounding and thumping so hard and I experienced a drumming sensation in my ears. Eventually this sensation faded. I then saw the lynx carrying her kittens in her mouth, one at a time, away from the farms at top speed.
Rozanna called me the following evening and confirmed that no more sheep had been killed. Her husband and neighbouring farmers checked the spoors at the water holes and without a doubt, there was no trace of the lynx’s spoor. I felt certain that Reiki had assisted with the whole situation. Everybody was very pleased that the lynx had got and understood the message and saved herself, her kittens and the farmer’s sheep.
I then sent Reiki again, this time expressing gratitude to God, the Reiki Guides and Holy Angels and the wonderful energy….. that is Reiki.
One morning in the autumn of 2006, Maxi, our old Border Collie was sniffing in the fallen leaves on the lawn when he was bitten by a highly venomous puff adder.
Thankfully my husband Owen was at home that day and drove the car as we rushed him to the nearest veterinary hospital. I sat in the back of the car with Maxi and gave him Bach Flower Remedies. Rescue Remedy to help with the shock and Crab Apple for cleansing. I also kept putting Rescue Remedy on the actual bite on his face.
I did Reiki and some ear slides, a TTouch technique, by moving my thumb and forefinger from the base of his ear to the tip, to prevent his body from going into shock. I drew the Reiki symbols and used the Mental/Emotional symbol to clear the poison from his system.
By the time we got to the vet his face and neck were beginning to swell. He received immediate attention and was put on a drip. Because of Maxi’s age – he was twelve at the time – the prognosis wasn't positive. We were advised that the puff adder’s poison would cause the skin to rot in the area of the bite, so if he recovered we should be prepared to deal with that situation. We stayed with Maxi as they placed him in a kennel and said a teary goodbye, not knowing if he would ever come home again.
My Reiki students’ network, family and friends sent Reiki and prayed for his recovery. I sent distant healing to him and all the other animals in the hospital for healing for their highest good. The next day his face and head were swollen to twice the normal size. That night I sat with his photo between my hands and beamed distant healing to him, visualizing the poison and swelling leaving his body. I asked God, Reiki Guides and St Francis of Assisi (the patron saint of animals) for help.
When the phone rang early the next morning I was expecting to hear bad news. The vet said the swelling had miraculously gone down during the night and that we could go and collect him! When we arrived at the animal hospital, all the other animals were leaving as they had also made a speedy recovery (another dog also had a snake bite) much to the vet’s surprise.
Living in the country gave my animal friends free reign, my newly acquired kitten, Inca, was no exception. She loved playing outside all day, swinging from trees or chasing and hunting butterflies and skinks. The problem was that she would rush home briefly for supper and then disappear until the small hours of the morning.
She was enjoying life to the fullest, it was all a great adventure to her, so I was rather reluctant to curtail her escapades. But I felt that being a kitten she was at some risk due to the presence of birds of prey and certain wild animals.
I confronted her early one morning after breakfast. Sitting opposite her, I looked into her eyes and asked her telepathically if I could communicate with her. She looked at me in surprise, and I heard a sort of giggly “yes.” I told her I loved her, by visualising a beautiful pink light flowing from my heart to her heart. I physically felt the connection when a feeling of warmth entered my chest.
I told her I was worried about her staying out so long on her own during the night and early morning hours. I told her I would prefer it if she came home earlier in the evenings. I felt that she’d understood my message, as she did come home earlier….around midnight. This of course was not what I wanted.
So another pep talk ensued. I told her that midnight was still unacceptable to me and I would appreciate it if she could be home by 8.00pm every night. I kept repeating the words 8.00 o'clock while simultaneously visualising a clock face, indicating 8.00pm. I asked her again "do you get it now Inca, I want you home by 8 every night please?"
The following evening I was busy working in my healing room, when I was startled by a white-tortoise shell apparition as she launched herself through the window. The time was exactly 5 minutes to 8.00!
Learning to communicate with animals telepathically was not only a lot of fun, but it also led me to discover who my animal companions really were. I discovered their likes and dislikes, their fears and phobias and a whole lot more. I was amazed that I could “hear” their voices clearly in my head.
Whilst cooking supper one evening, Mac-Tavish sauntered into the kitchen and approached the stove. He greeted me in his usual fashion, a lopsided grin, mouth open with tongue lolling to the side, eyes bright with anticipation. I was busy stirring cream into the spinach when he made an upward motion with his head towards the pot and asked: ‘So what’ve got cooking there?’ ‘Spinach’ I replied. ‘Can I have some?’ was his quick response. I said ‘Mac you’ve never eaten spinach and I’m sure you won’t even like it.’ ‘Try me’ he said.
I ladled a small amount of spinach into his dish and he wolfed it down. I was surprised, as I know many humans who can’t stand the taste of it and here was this hound simply loving it. He repeatedly asked me, ‘can I have some more,’ until he’d eaten almost half of our portion.
Each day Mac-Tavish came to check on the cooking and always asked ‘can I have some of that?’ Perhaps my vegetarian way of life had influenced him, because he went absolutely mad for beetroot, raw grated carrots, gem and butternut squash, sweet potatoes, green beans, peas and mielies.
I checked with Nikki and the border collies Maxi and Tess and they also enjoyed the veggies, so it was incorporated into their daily meals. No more boring dog food, they were on a BARF diet of raw minced chicken, brown rice, gravy (with only a sprinkling of dog cubes). Beetroot contains a lot of fibre which can cause tummy upsets, so it was only given in very small quantities, much to Mac’s dismay.
It became a habit, Mac continued to check on the cooking each day, in the hope of a hand-out, like a canine Oliver Twist, 'please can I have some more?’ was his constant refrain!
Nikki and Mac-Tavish, our Labrador/Irish setter cross companions, entered our lives in 1994, as two black fluffy bundles of mischief. The brother and sister duo were inseparable, they would often sit in mirror image to each other. They appeared to be deeply connected on a subconscious level, as they continued to act simultaneously, but independently of each other.
Living on a small holding they were able to enjoy the freedom of the countryside. Much to our dismay they soon discovered the location of a game farm, situated several kms behind us. They would disappear early in the morning and return sometime in the late afternoon, tired, panting and covered in all manner of twigs and greenery. Obviously very thirsty, they would plunge their faces, up to their eyes, in a bucket of cold water, expelling a number of bubbles as they slaked their thirst.
It was around this time that positive proof of animal telepathic communication entered my mind. I would notice that the setters were missing and I'd think 'Nikki and Mac, wherever you are, you'd better come home NOW!' Initially I was amazed that within about twenty minutes they would suddenly appear, running like the wind. They would look at each other, with a look which could be interpreted as saying; "Oh Boy....now we're in trouble."
I felt intuitively that this was not just a series of coincidences, so I embarked on a journey of animal telepathic communication. | 2019-04-24T20:51:06 | http://reikilightsouthafrica.blogspot.com/2011/01/ |
It’s Good To Be A Transfer Student!
Students must satisfy the five graduation requirements listed below. The good news? Transfer students can satisfy three requirements using transfer credits: University Core Curriculum, Foreign Language (FLENT/FLEX), and Summer Enrollment. Civic Literacy can also be satisfied using transfer credits, but there are important restrictions, including for students transferring from outside Florida public colleges and universities. Learn more below.
All students must satisfy FIUs University Core Curriculum (UCC), which is FIUs General Education requirements (Communication/English, Humanities, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Arts). Students transferring with an AA degree or General Education requirements met from a Florida public college or university, or a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution, automatically satisfy the UCC. All others require course-by-course evaluations.
Review your Panther Degree Audit to learn how your transfer credits were applied to the UCC.
Review the course equivalency process and submit courses that may satisfy the UCC.
Meet with your academic advisor for advice on completing any pending UCC requirements.
FLENT/FLEX is a state-mandated requirement. It stands for Foreign Language Entrance, Foreign Language Exit. To meet this requirement, students must either “enter” (FLENT) with a foreign language, or “exit” (FLEX) with a foreign language. To be clear, the foreign language is a language other than English, including American Sign Language.
I Did Not “Enter” With Any of the Above. Now What?
CLEP and BYU FLATS are offered in FIUs Testing Center. To satisfy the FLENT/FLEX requirement, students must demonstrate competency equal to two terms of an introductory level language (levels 1 and 2).
Students transferring to FIU with less than 60 credits are required to earn at least 9 credits during one or more summer terms at FIU or any other university in the State University System of Florida. Courses may be completed in person or online.
Completing summer courses at a Florida public college, such as Miami Dade College, Broward College, Valencia College, or a private institution, will not satisfy the Summer Enrollment requirement.
The Civic Literacy requirement is a statewide mandate that applies to undergraduate degree-seeking students initially entering a Florida State University System (SUS) and/or Florida College System (FCS) institution in the 2018-19 academic year and thereafter.
Requirement: Demonstrate civic literacy prior to graduation through one of two options presented below. No other courses or credit-by-exams may be used to satisfy this requirement. Transfer courses from outside a Florida public college (FCS) or university (SUS) may not be used to satisfy this requirement.
Option 1: Take a Course. Complete either POS 2041 or AMH 2020 beginning Fall 2018 and onward, which is when the new course competencies and outcomes were inaugurated. Both courses are part of FIUs University Core Curriculum (UCC) Social Science Group One category.
*A minimum grade of “C” may be required in some majors; AMH 2020 requires a minimum grade of “C” to satisfy Gordon Rule writing.
Visit FIUs Testing Center to learn more about the CLEP exam and Florida Civic Literacy Test (FCLT), including registration, fees, and to access study material.
The Civic Literacy requirement applies to transfer students who are initially entering a Florida State University System (SUS) or Florida College System (FCS) institution starting in the 2018-19 academic year. Students who transfer from an institution outside the Florida SUS or FCS starting in the 2018-19 academic year, and have not satisfied this requirement, must do so prior to graduation.
Students who earned an Associate in Arts (AA) degree from a Florida SUS or FCS institution prior to the 2018-19 academic year are not required to satisfy this requirement because they are not initially entering the Florida SUS or FCS in the 2018-19 academic year.
To view the Civic Literacy regulation, click here. For document archives, visit the Florida Department of Education. For a list of Civic Literacy FAQs, visit TTS Transition Resources.
The Global Learning for Global Citizenship (GL) requirement is unique to FIU, and therefore, students may not use transfer credits to satisfy it. GL courses, activities, and programs enhance students’ understanding of global issues and engagement as global citizens.
Complete 2 Discipline-Specific GL courses. One of the two courses may be a UCC Foundations course in consultation with an academic advisor.
Complete 1 Foundations GL course from the UCC.
Complete 1 Discipline-Specific GL course.
Discipline-Specific GL courses do not need to be in your major. However, some majors include these courses as part of their degree requirements, which means you can satisfy two requirements with one course!

To learn more about the two approved GL waivers, click here.
Where Can I Check if I Satisfied the UCC, FLENT/FLEX, Summer Enrollment, Civic Literacy, and Global Learning Requirements?
In your Panther Degree Audit (PDA). The UCC appears in the first section of the PDA, while the FLENT/FLEX, Summer Enrollment, Civic Literacy, and Global Learning requirements appear in the Undergraduate Requirements section. Sections will be listed as “Satisfied,” “Not Satisfied,” or “In Progress.” Remember that Global Learning is completed at FIU, so you can return to your PDA to check that requirement at a later time. If you believe that your PDA is not reflecting these requirements accurately, meet with your academic advisor or Transfer & Transition Services staff member. | 2019-04-26T05:42:12 | https://transfer.fiu.edu/transfer-101/graduation-requirements/ |

This paper is an attempt to explore both physical and spiritual healing based on `Abdu'l-Bahá`s writing. "The cause of entrance of disease into human body" `Abdu`l-Bahá explains is either physical one or is the effect of the excitement of the nerves." This statement basically changes the whole etiology sections in medical books. Medical science has been looking for merely physical reason and therefore looking for physical healing. `Abdu´l-Bahá explains four types of healing in which one of them is relying on the power of Divine assistance and the rest are matters to be explored. In this regard the attitude of a doctor has a crucial role in the health of individuals, whether health oriented or disease oriented, whether he/she "imparts gladness to the patient", "brings him to ecstasy and exultation" as mentioned in the writings. | 2019-04-24T17:01:34 | http://irfancolloquia.org/138/farid-monfared_disease |

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Pro Tour Battle for Zendikar Brew Fest! The idea behind this exercise was to get actively involved in enjoying the Pro Tour, especially for those of us who couldn’t play in it. My enjoyment definitely increased as I looked for Retreat to Coralhlem and Jeskai Ascendancy in the coverage and considered how my builds would have stacked up.
The submissions were excellent with high levels of creativity and competitiveness. There were a good number of submissions that went on to place well at the Pro Tour—from Dark Jeskai to Red Aggro to Aristocrats decks. Congrats to anyone who picked those decks—the results vindicated your choice.
Of course, I am interested in focusing on some of the more unusual options that got no spotlight in the Pro Tour. These decks look both unusual and competitive. Although the Pro Tour has come and gone, these following lists instill hope for the format to continue developing.
Check out this alternative Top 8 that could have been at Pro Tour Battle for Zendikar.
Black sacrifice decks proved their worth at the tournament. Zulaport Cutthroat and Nantuko Husk make a strong core for cards like Hangarback Walker and Liliana.
This variation uses Taigam’s Scheming to set up game-winning Rally the Ancestors. The 4-color mana base works well enough to enable this alternative version.
We know that Esper Dragons is a thing, so with the new mana base why not reach into 5 colors? This deck has flying Wall of Omens, Counterspells, Wrath of Gods, card draw, and an absurd suite of Dragon finishers. This is certainly not a budget brew, but a list that puts all of these cards together in one place looks epic.
Enchantress will surprise many as the format goes on. It didn’t appear at the Pro Tour, but I’ve seen a few builds that push this archetype into the competitive realm. Sigil of the Empty Throne is still available and the last two sets have been chock-full of great enchantments.
Ramp didn’t make much noise at the Pro Tour, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have some power moving forward. Some of us just like to cast fatties. I am a fan of a clean ramp list, so this tuned GR build is awesome.
How about Standard REANIMATOR? Here is another one that is subtly viable with strong discard options like Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy and Necromantic Summons to bring back Dragons for the finish. This version also abuses Emeria Shephard which is absolutely ridiculous when it gets into play with a stocked graveyard.
The idea of a land control deck makes me happy. This deck is full of the usual removal, counters, and draw, but packs a plethora of utility awaken spells to wake up sleepy lands as finishers. This is a great one for lovers of lands.
I made an allowance for an imaginary budget, so it’s refreshing to see a list that plays 18 basic lands. Standard mana bases are intimidating, but if we can make mono-colored aggro decks work we can make the format available to many people who are priced out. This mono-white hyper-aggro deck could do just that, with blistering starts that could take down slower decks that stumble with their painful mana.
I’ve seen a good number of lists that make me think Sphinx’s Tutelage is a viable win condition in the right deck. This version pairs the enchantment with Jeskai Ascendancy and uses Treasure Cruise to churn through both decks. The use of Encircling Fissures is amusing to give the deck a turbo-fog feel AND creature-lands to power the Jeskai Ascendancy combo.
Thanks to everyone who submitted wondrous brews, whether your list was chosen or not. There were a lot of other good ones in there, but this Top 8 showcases the possibilities beyond what we see at the Pro Tour.
I’m interested what you think about these decks, and especially interested in which of these archetypes you would be interested in focusing on for a future Brew Fest. Which of these has you most excited? | 2019-04-21T14:47:32 | https://www.channelfireball.com/articles/top-8-pro-tour-battle-for-zendikar-brew-fest-results/ |

Fredric Aasbø and Papadakis Racing have been clients for many years. I’ve had the oppotunity to design many of Fredric’s liveries way back to the Need For Speed Toyota Supra which he drifted in Europe, prior to the Scion tC campaign with Papadakis.
Fredric narrowly missed the 2014 Formula Drift title in North America but later took the 2014 Formula Drift Asia title in October.
This short film showcases the 2014 Formula Drift weapon, one of my favourite liveries. I was really pleased with how this came out and the contrast between the Florescent Red and White and the Satin Black and Dark Grey. This is a very cool flm.
Speedhunters have also posted an awesome behind the scenes article .
I have recently been working with Formula Drift driver Fredric Aasbø, his team, Papadakis Racing and Speedhunters on a new identity for his Scion tC.
Speedhunter’s Rod Chong originally contacted me last year to work on some ideas for new liveries to replace the iconic Team Need for Speed identity which I designed in 2010. Despite ‘Team NFS’ ceasing to exist a couple of years ago, the asymmetric has continued with updated Speedhunters branding for Fredric (below).
Hankook Tires USA recently commissioned me to produce a special Hero Card in the style of a Spotter Guide featuring all 13 of their runners in the 2014 Formula Drift Championship.

Relations between the European Union and Malaysia and Indonesia hit an obstacle when Malaysia’s Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and Indonesia’s Coordinating Maritime Affairs Minister Luhut Pandjaitan recently threatened to boycott EU’s products if the bloc issues a ban on palm oil as a biofuel.
As the largest buyer of certified sustainable palm oil, the European Commission recently concluded that palm oil cultivation has led to excessive deforestation. Consequently, palm oil will no longer qualify to be considered toward the EU renewable transportation targets for national governments. This presents a major setback for the industry as nearly half (48 percent) of all EU’s palm oil imports in 2016 were channeled to biofuels.
In a December commentary on the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED II), the Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) cautioned against outright bans and singling out key exports such as palm oil from developing countries. While protecting national interests is important, any attempt to engage in trade retaliation in reality would do little to offer a long-term, win-win solution. A more constructive and lasting approach is to examine how countries, especially in Asia, can drive sustainable consumption.
For a long time, the demand for sustainable consumption mainly stemmed from the West, with Asia often perceived to be lagging behind. In the palm oil industry, for instance, many Asian markets continue to be price-sensitive and the public’s level of awareness of sustainability remains low. There is also a larger emphasis on meeting basic needs as well as food safety. Consumers — including in major markets like China and India — are also less likely to make their purchasing decisions based on environmental or social certifications.
However, the EU’s move is noteworthy because it sends a negative signal to other consumer markets regarding the use of palm oil. Where consumers lack an informed perspective regarding sustainable production, the world may be in danger of heading towards no palm oil rather than sustainable palm oil. In the longer term, this could result in higher demand for other vegetable oils, which are in fact, less efficient and require more land for cultivation.
Therefore, it is time for Asia to consider how it can drive a higher demand for sustainable consumption, and reward the sustainable business practices that stem from the same region. Without a higher demand, Asia may be at risk of losing the momentum to continue to clean up its agroforestry supply chains and strive for higher sustainability standards.
Mainstreaming sustainable consumption will involve the collective efforts of governments, the private sector and civil society.
Governments play a critical role in this process not only because they are major buyers of agricultural products but more importantly, a top-down approach is often most effective in inspiring significant changes in Asian societies. For instance, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games has adopted a sustainable sourcing code which covers timber, agricultural products, livestock products, fishery products, paper and sustainable palm oil.
At the same time, the industry needs to do more to improve and deepen engagements with consumers. Some of the major plantation companies and consumer goods giants have already made 2020 No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation (NDPE) policy commitments.
This means that the company will refrain from deforestation, avoid development on peat — which could become flammable during the dry season without careful water management, and result in dense and acrid haze pollution. The company will also ensure that there is no exploitation of anyone who is affected by the company’s operations.
Achieving the NDPE commitments will mean that companies have to be more transparent regarding their suppliers as well as meet growing expectations to address non-compliance in a timely manner.
But meeting these commitments may be insufficient without consumers recognizing the impacts achieved and understanding how their purchasing decisions can promote environmental and social good. This may require the industry — especially consumer-facing downstream companies — to work together to showcase positive stories and the resulting benefits of sustainable production.
Similarly, financial institutions — which came under scrutiny during the 2015 haze episode — would benefit from being more transparent about their sustainable financing policies and disclosing how they have engaged with errant companies.
This is because as companies and consumers become more environmentally- and socially-conscious, they may also be more discerning in the financial institutions they associate with, both for risk and reputation reasons.
In addition, non-governmental organizations can play an important role to raise awareness and encourage constructive discussion within the industry.

Experience – It is imperative for people to experience “the arts” on some level before they will even recognize their interest in particular areas. When “the arts’’ are done with excellence, it has a luring affect that stirs your spirit…especially if you have or are developing a passion for that particular area. This many times is a receptive situation like listening to a concert or watching an artist. Many people never get past this level due to a variety of factors.
Express – If you want people to participate, they must be given the opportunity and freedom to do so on various levels starting with corporate settings. This is usually an inclusive opportunity given by leadership as people are being ushered in. A good example is entering into deeper musical worship or slow dancing with your spouse instead of watching others on the dance floor!
Expand – If you want people to expand their giftings to another level, a good swift kick in pants is often required after they have experienced and expressed the area of interest. It’s only effective if offering solutions to go with the challenge. This is where training and impartation come in... usually after the individual shows a concerted effort in the “experience” and “express” areas. Examples: (conferences, workshops, more examples of excellence in particular area, one-on-one training…etc) This is where accountability partners really come in handy to recognize gifts and to help find creative ways to challenge and equip the saints into action.
1) You can teach a skill like how to play instruments but you can’t teach the anointing that goes with it to lead triumphantly.
2) You can teach the basic foundations of how to create art but you can’t teach the anointing of a visionary to see the art before it’s created.
3) You can’t teach things that have a visionary anointing very effectively (songwriting, preaching, art, worship leading…etc) but you can help sharpen those areas for people that already have a basic foundation and anointing in the giftings.
I concur with the quote “God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies those He calls.” I also do believe that we should do our part to make the effort to sharpen our skills whether it be personal or in an outreach mindset.
The more quality examples people see (exposure), the more they can/will uniquely imitate!
Artistically creative people are drawn to the freedom and passion of the arts (musical worship, instrumentalists, creative speaking, poetic symphony, dance, art, theatre, choreography, videography, audio/visual...etc). If there is not room to breathe, the creativity and freedom gets clenched and therefore extinguishes the desire to pursue those passions in the subject venue and often in general.
Musical worship specifically is very similar. If there is little freedom, flow and room to breathe we in essence tend to clench the Holy Spirit and limit the ability for God to move and flow in the moment (even though He can override us at any time). That basically often leaves us predictably singing songs from A-B (although sounding good) with reduced passion or forward progress in the spiritual realm. I constantly see (in churches) seasoned followers either going through the motions with limited spiritual growth or frustrated with the depth level of corporate worship and seek alternate venues. I also see new seekers looking for something to grasp onto and rarely experience intimacy during worship due to the “in and out” “seeker sensitive” model that churches so often adopt. Offering additional services for the seasoned followers is a nice addition but Sunday mornings may be the only chance seekers get to see what legitimate followers experience. It’s hard to argue with the big guy standing next to you weeping before the Lord during worship. Even though deepness and “super spiritual” may freak out some, it’s so inviting to others that are looking to develop that same relationship with the Lord and encourages the law of “buy-in”. I understand and agree with time restraints (mostly) but uninterrupted freedom within the designated parameters can make a world of difference in effectiveness! So many things that churches do (offerings, announcements, hand shaking…other random flow breakers) can easily be done at the beginning or end of services to give the spoken and musical worship time an opportunity to breathe and pierce the hearts of the captive audience!
Disclaimer... these are only my thoughts and opinions based on past experiences and not intended to be an authority on the subject. I also struggle with trying to find the balance between feeding the newbies and the more mature in the same service.
Michael, Your comment about the need for uniterrupted flow in the worship service seems critical for the working of the Spirit. The natural inclination is to go with it as long as the fire flares. | 2019-04-21T18:19:02 | http://www.thorsbyjams.com/blog/the_arts/ |

Could you direct me to the right section in the style.css sheet (or other file) to change the font color in the header? I.E. where is says "Welcome, guest login, etc.
Hi Justjim and thank you for the compliment.
Near the end of the style.css file you will see the code needed for everything in the header under ".top".
Hi! this is by far the best template i have found so far.. could yo please help me change the background color and add a repeating image instead. i am refering to the background image of all the pages which is currently black. And also where the link to the sunset image is located for when i want to change it.
Hi Eafshar, thank you for the compliment.
To modify the background you can modify the style.css file located in the sunset folder.
You will have to replace name-of-image.jpg by the name of the file by the one you want to use and upload this file in the /themes/sunset/images folder of your forum.
I haven't tested the codes I'm giving you so if you have any trouble, let me know and I will look deeper into this.
deleted the .topr background as i wanted to have the same background as the rest of the site.
check hxxp:consciousnesscentre.ca/forum/ [nonactive] . please direct me as to where the width of the top banner is controled. Thank you!
The width of the banner can be changed in index.template.php file.
i actually want to change the height (sorry for saying width, i wasn't thinking) and make the top banner narrower. i tried to reduce the value for height from 261 but it didnt work.
There is no value set for the height of the image, the 261 value is the height of the header.
I just wanted to say thanks for this theme. You did an awesome job on it and I think it will fit my site well.
I have a question for you. When I put my logo on it, I had a hard time reading the text. Well I edited it and changed the font color and made the font bigger. Now I want to shorten some of the text, since it is bigger, so it looks better. I got everything pretty much cut down to size but I am having a hard time with the part that tells you if you have PM's. I want to change where it says,"Hey, User , you have 9 messages, 0 are new" to "Hey User , you have 0 new messages". I edited the index.template.php file and got it down to where it now says, "Hey, User , you have 0 are new". My problem is that all the test is stored in global variables and I don't know where to find them at. The variable for "Hey," is $txt['hello_member'] and the variable for "are new" I think is stored in $txt['newmessages0'] and/or $txt['newmessages1'].
Just as an update. I found what variable said what, and just replaced them with what I wanted.
Thanks again for the theme, it is very nice.
Hopefully this is the right place to ask a question, I see it's been a couple of years since anyone has posted here.
Is this something you can tell me how to do? I'm not a coder, but can fumble my way around enough to get by.
chewing through the leather straps.
You will also need to change the white background #FFFFFF with the color of your choice.
Okay, thanks, I didn't know if there was someplace other than the style sheet that I needed to change. I didn't want to end up with pesky missing image symbols. I will give that a try this week and if I run into problems I'll definitely give you a shout.
Oops, I guess we misunderstood each other.
I would like to not have images for the main navigation links: the links for home, help, search, log in, register (see attachment).
I just want them to be text links. Is there a way I can do that? If the change will affect all the other links throughout the forum, that's fine too.
Ho, I see. Like with any other theme, you will have to go in the admin section in "themes and layout" and "theme settings", click on the Sunset 2.0 name and uncheck the "Show buttons as images instead of text" box.
That simple, huh? There's so much to know about SMF. Thanks so much for the speedy reply!
Hi, I am sorry but it has been years since I used this theme or updated it and it seems that the mod you are talking about is the same. You should probably get rid if the theme or the mod or both.
As for PHP 7.0 I have not tried it but I doubt it would be a problem. If the theme doesn't work, it would rather come from its html code with newer browsers than its php code with newer php versions. | 2019-04-24T23:04:39 | https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=234759.80 |

How's that supercharger besides the head gasket situation?
I was actually looking at a 2007 TT before I saw the blue devil! I have had Porsches all my life 2 boxsters and a 997 911 GTS. Please post a pic of the Alpine, what a race legend that is!
Definitely some good taste on here.
Stalled at the moment. Work got busy, then I had knee surgery last week. I'm hoping to finish pulling the engine this weekend. Sure nuff is harder to work on than the Noble! They crammed 4000 pounds of car into a 3200 pound footprint.
Don't get me wrong, though, I really enjoy the car. Wonderful V8 sound, manual gearbox, decent handling up to 8/10, and the blower made it entertainingly quick.
I hope your recovery will be a speedy one, and get the audi back on the road. If I only had manual in my RS5 I would have the complete package, even a faster DSG gearbox would have done the trick. Oh well, I guess that's why we have the Nobles and Rossions.
Love the colors, but they should make the same for Noble and Rossion.
Can someone please tell me how I can attach pictures in here?!?!?!?!?
This is assuming you don't host your image files online somewhere. I do host my pictures online, so instead of uploading my image files to the Nobleforums server, I insert a link to where my images are stored online.
Hi Jeff, sorry for my delayed response. I did enable flash from the preferences but when I click on the insert image icon, it doesn't give me the option to upload only to type the URL and cancel-go buttons.

Immigration and the criminal law intersect in several ways. We have experience in defending people charged with offending against the Immigration Act 2009 and related legislation. Additionally, we assist persons who have pleaded guilty and where a conviction would have an adverse impact their immigration status, assisting them in obtaining discharges without convictions.
When the immigration status of you – and potentially your family – is on the line, it is imperative that you seek experienced legal advice to ensure that you have the best representation possible.
I received a summons to the Auckland District Court regarding providing misleading information to Immigration New Zealand. I was stressed about the impact it would have on my employment and immigration status. John took me through the process and dealt with Immigration NZ and the court. In the end he persuaded the Judge to just give me a fine which I paid on the day and now the matter is finished.
I am very grateful for acquiring John Munro services for my case. He has a wonderful team. | 2019-04-20T00:14:55 | https://criminallawyersnz.co.nz/immigration-crime/ |
Austin Rivers scored a season-high 21 points while Clint Capela had 13 points and 21 rebounds.
Gerald Green’s dunk got Houston within 88-83 early in the fourth but Nurkic’s layup pushed Portland’s lead to 97-85 with just under 6 minutes left.
After Harden collected his fourth foul, McCollum hit a long jumper to put Portland up 101-90 with 3:10 left. Evan Turner’s layup and free throw made it 106-95 and Moda Center fans started heading for the doors.
There was some controversy when Harden got three free throws on Turner’s foul and he made all three to close the gap with 1:02 left. After Lillard made a free throw on the other end, Harden’s step-back jumper got the Rockets within 107-101 with 34 seconds left — but it was a close as they could get.
Portland was the last team to hold Harden under 30. He had 29 in Houston’s 111-104 home victory on Dec. 11. Maurice Harkless had some success guarding Harden, but he out with a sore left knee after Saturday night’s loss to the Thunder and Turner started for the Blazers.
Portland surrendered the lead to Oklahoma City heading into the fourth quarter and came up short 111-109 despite a late rally.
Harden had a triple-double in a 135-134 overtime victory over Golden State on Thursday night. He had 44 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists for his second straight 40-point triple-double and 11th of his career.
Rivers hit all four of his 3-point attempts to start the game and finished the first quarter with 14 points.
Harden was 0 for 8 from 3-point range in the opening half and had nine points. It was just the second time this season he failed to reach double digits in the first half.
Rockets: It was the third and final meeting of the season between the two teams. They split the first two. … Harden hit his first two 3-point attempts in the second half.
Trail Blazers: Nurkic has 20 double-doubles this season. … It was the first time Portland has defeated the Rockets twice in a season since 2015-16. ..

‘Footprints’ runs on Friday afternoons at 2pm at Ebe and involves discussion on real life issues, Bible discussion, friendship, cuppa and cake.
One night I dreamed a dream. I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord.
When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set of footprints. I realised that this was at the lowest and the saddest times of my life. This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma.
"Lord, you told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I'm aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don't understand why, when I needed You most, You leave me".
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you." | 2019-04-22T13:06:25 | http://www.ebe.org.uk/index.php/church-family/senior-citizens |
Deborah Voigt says Minnie and Elektra are in her future. Diana Damrau says she'll do Lucia on the Met tour of Japan. Diana said that she had not planned to do a Queen of the Night again but since she loves the character and it's at the Met, she had the right to change her mind. Just this once. Debbie said that she'd love to do Salome at the Met, "but NOT this production. Karita pretty much owns THIS production." She said she loves the character. She said she really likes Helena too. She said she didn't get much out of playing the Marchalin. Diana talked a lot. She's very expressive and obviously puts a lot of thought behind a role and a opera in general. When she didn't know an English word, Debbie acted as her interpreter. They were delightful together, especially when Debbie provided comic interpretation with her facial expressions. | 2019-04-23T12:51:43 | http://www.sarahbsadventures.com/2007/03/debbie-and-diana-show.html?showComment=1175118600000 |
I'm currently reading Kelle's book. I'd love to loan it to you when I'm done. It's definitely one of those pay it forward books & I know you'd send it back when you were done. I think it would be a fun thing to keep track of how many Mamas I loan it out to by having you leave a note or name/blog link in the book when you're done & before you send it back. :) Let me know.
This post gave me chills a little, only because I heard myself speaking the same words aloud. I was always a reader. I had a book published at 17 -- a world that seems SO LONG AGO now when I realize the bulk of my book collection sits in boxes, pushed aside to make room for toys and crayons and a life that seems a lot more realistic at this point. My Amazon cart is filled with books, too, and so is my nightstand -- books my best friend sent me, books that I swore I'd make time to read -- and I haven't. But you've inspired me. Tonight, I will! Tonight I'll unplug, just say no to trashy reality television and snuggle in bed with one of the many books in my pile. So overdue.
My all-time favorite is "The Outsiders" by SE Hinton. I read it for the first time in the 3rd grade. My teacher really liked me -- she was a literary buff and swore from the first week of 3rd grade that she just knew I was, too -- and loaned me her personal copy. She told me that SE Hinton was a woman who abbreviated her name because men wouldn't accept her as the writer of such a book, and she was so young when she wrote it, and she said that my very essence reminded her of SE Hinton and I would write books like that at a young age. I was captivated by the first few chapters and, like gospel, I would read that darn book ALL. THE. TIME. I used to read it once every couple of months in college just to refresh my brain and remind me who I was. I always felt like Cherry Valance when I was in late middle/early high school.
i love that idea! i will email you my addy in a bit! you're too sweet!
When I ditched my FB as my New Year's resolution, I also pledged to read a book a week. Well, I'm a ways a way from that, but I HAVE read 10 books so far this year which is about 8 more than last year and it feels GREAT! Have you ever regretted an internet session? I know I have... but I've NEVER regretted sitting down and reading a book. Ever.
My most entertaining read this year was Water for Elephants. Freedom was my "makes you go hmmm" book.
ah that is awesome! i so wish i had the will power to quit fb! i have been wanting a kindle or nook for awhile now, i think i would read so many more books that way. maybe ill treat myself to one soon!

My name is Sean, and I am an Austin wedding photographer. I create candid & organic photos for couples who want natural posing and authentic moments.
I believe wedding photography should be filled with real and authentic moments, not fake and cheesy ones.
Day 7 is a reminder to slow down, enjoy the little things in life, and appreciate the real beauty that surrounds you.
DAY 7 is about slowing down and enjoying the world around us. The name DAY 7 is a reference to creation in the Bible. God created the world and everything in it, then on the 7th day he rests and enjoys his creation. I believe this is the greater story that I get to be a part of. | 2019-04-23T01:14:45 | https://www.day7photography.com/about-day-7-photography/ |

Italian-born American scholar and political scientist. He was born in Siracusa (Syracuse), Sicily during World War II, and he was raised in Boston. He did his undergraduate work at the University of Oklahoma, spent three years in the Army, and did his graduate work at the University of Hawaii, where he was also a Research Assistant before his appointment as a Teaching Fellow in Political Science. He has been a member of the American Political Science Association since 1967, and spent much of his professional life in the federal bureaucracy before resuming his scholarly pursuits full-time. Cutrufo perceived the utility of having an academic analogue of a world map, and spent nine years developing, researching, and writing the first edition of Chronologium Academicus for its 1991 publication in its huge poster format.

Ever taken a wrong turn on your journey? I certainly have. I’ve taken many detours and u-turns. Finally, though, I think I’m headed in the right direction, thanks to my Heavenly GPS, which is so different from that annoying voice on the GPS in my car which screams, “recalculating, recalculating, recalculating,” even when I know I am just turning around to head in the right direction.
G.P.S. stands for Global Positioning System. I count on it when driving in new places, especially through large cities and in heavy traffic. It’s so much easier than the old days with bulky atlases and road maps. Our Heavenly Father has an easy system for us to follow as well. It’s called the Bible, the Word. It’s my Heavenly G.P.S., God’s Perfect Salvation.
The way to go is spelled out very clearly for us to follow, if we so choose. There is a road commonly known as “The Roman Road,” which leads to understanding of salvation with such scriptures as Romans 3:23, 5:8-9, 6:23, 10: 9-10.
When we choose not to follow God’s ways, it reminds me of going mudding in an ATV. We come out covered in mud from riding through puddles and ditches. It might be fun for a little while, but it is no way to live every day.
When we are going our own way in the world of self-indulgence, the mud and slime gets all over us. Jesus, though, will bring us out of a pit, out of the miry clay, set our feet on a rock and establish our steps if we ask.1 He washes us off and makes us clean from the inside out.
Just as with our car’s G.P.S., we can ignore the directions which will get us to our destination and wander off the best pathway. I took a 15-year detour through a roughed dirt road named “alcoholism and drug addiction”. Even though there was a voice on the inside of me saying don’t go this way, however I did it anyway, complete with many bumps, bruises and crashes along the way. I also ran over a few people in the process.
In 1983 I hit a roadblock with a big crash. I could not go forward and could not back up. I was stuck. I cried out to a God and He gave me a total course correction. My journey with Him began then, but because I did not completely follow my eternal roadmap, I continued to run into areas called sin, which caused even more detours.
Then came the time when I hit another wall. Every road I had taken had led me to a place of hopelessness and despair. I was clean and sober, but my insides were full of emotional turmoil. At that moment, I had a visual I will never forget. It was of Jesus hanging on the cross. He looked down at me and said, “You must forgive to be forgiven.” This was a gigantic U-turn in my life. I surrendered to Him and began a new journey.
In 1998 the road took me to the Dairy Queen drive-through I frequented daily for lunch. As I drove up that day, I saw a man working next door. He was someone I had hated for 40 years. Before I got my hamburger, I said to God, “I choose to forgive that man.” A few days later, in a little house church, I received a new connection to my Heavenly G.P.S. It came in the form of two baptisms, one of water and one of the Holy Spirit. I believe it began when I released the hatred from my life.
All of a sudden, it was like lights flashing and bells clanging. Instead of hearing “recalculating”, it was “recharging, recharging, recharging.” I started down the right road of understanding the Word of God for the first time. I began soaking up His words with a clarity I had never known. A genuine love for God’s Word was instilled deep inside me, along with a new hope and a new freedom I had never experienced. Finally, I was on the real road to destiny.
There have been other detours on the way. In 2014, I had gained a lot of weight. As in the other areas of my life, when I was ready to go down a different road than the old painful one paved with sugar and flour, God put someone in my life. I found her on Facebook. Her name was Teresa Shields Parker.
I have since been on a healthy eating journey of God’s choice, along with great coaching and friendships. Through Teresa’s programs, Sweet Change and KickWeight, I have discovered new vitality and joy in my life. Oh, and weight loss, too, now totaling 60 pounds off my 4-foot, 11-inch frame.
God has always been patient and kind to me even when I strayed off the pathway. He lovingly led me back to the straight and narrow, safe roads of life when I became willing to listen to His guidance.
When I discovered huge mountains in front of me and began to feel hopeless at the thought of navigating them, I just look to Him for guidance. I have faced mountains named, “grief” and “debt”. Yet He said if I have the faith of a mustard seed, just a little tiny bit of faith, I can say to the mountain, “Move” and it will be moved.3 Sometimes it is one shovelful at a time, but it will be moved.
I am so grateful for the U-turns and do overs God has given me on this sometimes rocky road called life. I wouldn’t change a thing though because the scenery is out of this world, especially when I follow God’s GPS.
The new session of Teresa’s ridiculously low-priced weight loss coaching class, #KickWeight, will open soon for registration. The price will be just $47 a month for six months or $247 one-time payment. There are limited spots. To be notified when she opens the doors, sign up on the waitlist. You will then be the first to know before those on her Facebook page or the general email list. Get in quickly, though, because you’ll only have a day or so before she lets the world know!

Adding 2FA is a great way to keep your account safe but if you lose access to your device or your email, you will need a backup code to regain access to your WordPress site.
For example, if you don't have your phone with you or you replaced/lost it and can't get a code from Google Authenticator, you can use a backup code to login.
Shield allows users to generate a backup code that can be used to login if Multi-Factor Authentication factors are unavailable. It achieves this through the Allow Backup Code feature. This feature helps you to recover your login with 2FA backup code.
Once you've done this, your site users can use a backup code for their login.
Note: Once you generate the code, you can also delete it if you want.
Important: Before you confirm the code, please copy it and ensure that you store it wherever you keep your other valuable items.
Please also note that, if the option to generate codes does not appear on your user profile, this means that there is no 2FA factor active on your account.
This is a recovery system, and not designed to be a standard 2FA option for everyday use.
Once the code had been used, Shield will notify us directly on our WordPress dashboard (at the top of the page) and send us an email notice that backup login code was just used.
For more information about this feature, you may read the release article here.
Please note that this is a pro-only feature. If you wish to make use of this pro feature, and all the other pro-features, you can upgrade here. | 2019-04-24T22:56:37 | https://icontrolwp.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/3000082677-the-allow-backup-code-feature-how-to-recover-your-login-with-2fa-backup-codes |

Perfect for fans of Mike Lupica and Tim Green, Bouncing Back brings readers onto the wheelchair basketball court in a story brimming with heart, humor, and thrilling sports action.
Back in his old basketball league, Carlos Cooper owned the court, sprinting and jumping and lighting up the scoreboard as opponents (and teammates) watched in awe. Now thirteen-year-old “Cooper the Hooper” is out of his league, new to life in a wheelchair, and struggling to pull his weight with his wheelchair basketball team, the Rollin’ Rats.
Just when Carlos starts to get the hang of the game, the city shuts down the Rollin’ Rats’ gym. Without the gym, the team can’t practice, and if they can’t practice, they might as well kiss their state tournament dreams goodbye. Carlos will need to fully embrace his new friends, and his new role in the sport he loves, in order to truly become part of the team–and help save their season. | 2019-04-24T22:08:45 | https://www.lbyr.com/titles/scott-ostler/bouncing-back/9780316524742/ |
Does it matter whether you like your teacher? Or your students?
In Hawai’i, studying hula can be akin to studying yoga: it’s physical training, but also mental and spiritual practices. Like yoga, hula also comes in many flavors, from flashy tourist shows to serious halau (schools) whose members consider hula a lifestyle choice.
Nowadays teachers of any ilk avoid the slightest semblance of unequal treatment: it’s not PC. So Maki’s anecdotes seemed over the top. “Why study with a teacher who treats students unfairly?” I asked.
“I wanted to study a particular style of hula, ai’ha’a,” she said. “The first time I saw her halau perform, I knew I wanted to learn this style.
Would I likewise study with a teacher who treats me more harshly than she treats others, but who undoubtedly has something to teach? Should the criterion be the practice, not the personality?
Most Westerners focus on personality. Most want not only for their teachers to “like” them but, if they are also teachers, for their students to “like” them. Behavior is modified and softened. In other words, students kiss their teachers’ behinds, while teachers refrain from any criticism that might offend.
Yoga has grown very “social” in the West. Teachers and students often become friends (or more than friends). Personally, I steer clear from yoga cliques. In the primary relationship between teacher and student, however, I do seek real rapport. But is this necessary? Or am I filling another need in myself, too?
I seek rapport too. It doesn’t always look the same teacher to teacher. Abrasive or quirky is fine. Is it necessary? I think it depends on what your yoga practice means in your life. What you are deriving out of a led class. What your purpose in seeking a teacher is.
I had a teacher with whom the countertransference was very, very strong–but the only class of his that I could reasonably attend in his alignment-based style, was just a little too mild for me, and a little expensive. I don’t rule out the possibility of taking the more suitable-level class with him, but my schedule precludes this for the near future.
Be it known that even at the more difficult open level, the class is mature-person-friendly (and I am one).
Should I reach the point where my home practice is practically the entirety of my practice, I will find a way to take and to pay for his class on an occasional basis.
Until that time, I search for classes in which the teacher is as vanilla as possible and as affable as possible in their teaching (even the class being in a totally different style).
I don’t particularly like being offended, I only sort of like being over-challenged. And face it, nothing in the world beats countertransference from a teacher. That loving psychic embrace!
I would never be able to study for long with a teacher who seemed gratuitously nasty, no matter how technically adept he or she might be.
As yogis we’re supposed to be cultivating friendliness, compassion, joy and equanimity. I expect those qualities in a teacher too. Which isn’t to say that a teacher needs to be a buddy, or to put up with inattention or sloppy work. That doesn’t serve anybody.
I’ve studied with some big-name international teachers who came across as petulant, irritable, and prone to picking out a scapegoat for the course of the workshop.
And as much as I might profit from their teaching, I know I wouldn’t study with them again.
Hmmm, perhaps along with ‘Harshness is acceptable so long as it is uniformly doled out’, it could also be said that harshness as a means of breaking through resistance can be a relevant teaching method. Sometimes, as teachers, we might need to focus the attention of a group or individual by what might be perceived as abrasive technique. But as you allude to, not everyone is open to that style, or as teachers, likes it back!
“That is the style, dear teacher, in which I become your non-customer.
When I was new to yoga, a friend drug me to her favorite Iyengar teacher. I realized immediately this guy knew his stuff and I liked the general vibe of the other students, but I was *terrified* of being called out by him. Initially I thought he was too persnickety, sniped too much at the more experienced students, and cared too much about what I thought were unimportant details.
I continued coming to his class partly because my friend would come and get me, and partly because I made more progress spiritually as well as physically than with any other teacher I’d worked with. Pretty soon, I really started to get it. What I dismissed at first as overly pedantic, I came to understand as an amazing attention to detail to which I owed my growth. I also came to realize that though he was uneven in his criticisms, it was because he was doling out only what he thought the individual could handle/need at that moment.
What I initially thought was harsh and uncaring comments, I came to understand as fierce and concise commentary ripping aside certain veils of ignorance and distortion. Once I came to know this man on a more personal level, I came to see a loving, spiritual practitioner who wasn’t afraid of getting on the wrong side of a few people in his quest to tell the truth. And believe me, he did. He also has a strong following of intelligent, compassionate students and teachers.
I’m glad I stuck it out, paid attention, and looked beyond my initial misunderstandings to see a greater perspective.
Well favouritism is deemed bad in some instances as all we believe all hold an equal opportunity to learn.
As for harshness, I agree it can depend on personality, but also general civility. You’re asserting as if people enjoy being offended. Well no more than most would enjoy being punched in the face. There is no essential difference.
That said, I contend it’s subjective, and that some may not care about harsh teachers. Also, historically perhaps the emphasis was not on the experience, but what was learnt from it irrespective of how the teacher behaved. | 2019-04-24T12:33:04 | https://yogaspy.com/2011/02/16/does-it-matter-whether-you-like-your-teacher-or-your-students/ |
Linklaters is to expand its use of paralegals and pilot moving volume legal work outside London as part of a bid to build a lower-cost alternative for clients. The move will see the City giant handle legal work in the Colchester office it currently uses for business support for the first time and will be backed with a deal with outsourcing firm Integreon to supply paralegals to support the venture. The plans form part of a new initiative dubbed Linklaters’ Legal Services Centre (LSC), which will see the magic circle law firm ramp up its paralegal numbers to around 80 across the UK and Germany, up to 30 of which could be based in Colchester for additional cost savings. Linklaters will also continue to employ additional paralegal teams in New York and Brussels. | 2019-04-23T02:26:44 | https://www.law.com/legal-week/sites/legalweek/2011/10/12/linklaters-calls-on-integreon-to-back-new-low-cost-service/ |
Since 2009 West End I have been calling for improvements to the tennis courts at Victoria Park in his ward. I am pleased at long last to see that £88,000 will be spent on these courts to bring them up to an acceptable standard. After my campaign for improvements Dundee City Council's Neighbourhood Services Committee approved investment of £88,000 in Victoria Park Tennis Courts.
I have been calling for improvements to these tennis courts over a number of years. I have been promised that work will take place before and I hope that it will now come to fruition. The state of the tennis courts is totally unacceptable. I am glad that the council has listened to my concerns and those of local people and that now action will finally be taken. I will be watching to ensure that the investment delivers genuine improvements in the tennis courts as I have been promised action previously and none has been forthcoming.
I will continue to look for investment in the West End and to ensure that local people get the best services possible. Our parks are a great asset to the city and we need to look at ways of ensuring that their facilities are kept up to date.
I also hope that Dundee will receive funding from Tennis Scotland to have publicly accessible indoor tennis courts built in the city. | 2019-04-24T13:47:40 | http://richardmccready.blogspot.com/2017_04_23_archive.html |

Products of animal origin can be imported into the European Union from China as long as they comply with specific animal and public health conditions.
The following products previously[u1] banned under Commission Decision 2002/994/EC(as amended) can enter the EU providing each consignment undergoes pre-shipment checks for the presence of the illegal veterinary medicines chloramphenicol and nitrofurans and their metabolites. There must also be a signed declaration from the Chinese competent authority with the analytical check results.
The import restrictions for certain products derived from poultry from China remain in place due to deficiencies in sanitary conditions and the outbreak of avian (bird) flu.
No other products of animal origin are permitted for import from China into the EU. | 2019-04-19T16:21:07 | https://www.foodstandards.gov.scot/business-and-industry/safety-and-regulation/imports-exports/import-controls-and-bans/imports-of-products-of-animal-origin-from-china |

Its original piston seal is made of leather and fastened to the piston with a screw.
If anyone on here would like to sell me one or direct me to order and buy by post , would be my pleasure.
Calibre is .177 and there are no scope grooves on the receiver.
Maybe you can even tell me how old this airgun may be.
Is there any chance you could post a pic of the rifle please Peter?
My buddy Lyn Lewington may be a able to help, as he has a fairly comprehensive stock of new piston seals, especially for Chinese airguns.
How can post pics on here?
Or could I send pics via email if you allow me ?
Just guide me the way and thanks again.
To post pics on here you will need to use a hosting site such as Photobucket, Flickr or whatever (there's loads of choice out there).
You then copy the img code of the pic you wish to display into your post and it will be shown on the forum.
Will do first chance I have.

A Life Worth Living tells the story of Michael Smurfit and the company he built. From humble beginnings, through years of hard work, it documents the Smurfit Group's seemingly inexorable growth, the challenges faced and overcome, and the many deals that continually doubled the size of the business every three or four years. It shows Michael's 'logical opportunism' in action, and explains how the Smurfit culture and systems provided a world-beatingcompetitive advantage. Born in St Helens, Lancashire in August 1936, Michael Smurfit joined his father's business, Jefferson Smurfit & Sons Ltd. in Dublin, straight from school to learn the papermaking business 'from the bottom up'. Two years after the company floated on the Irish Stock Exchange, Michael and his brother Jeff became Joint Managing Directors, as Jefferson Senior took on the role of Chairman and Chief Executive. Then followed 30 years of acquisitions, as the Jefferson Smurfit Group became Ireland's first multinational company and one of the largest paper and packaging companies in the world. In 2002, Michael took the Smurfit Group private, retiring as CEO but remaining Chairman. In this role, he steered a merger with Kappa Packaging BV, which successfully refloated in 2007 as Smurfit Kappa Group. Michael's life outside Smurfit - his chairmanship of the Racing Board and of Telecom ireann; his interest in horseracing; his ownership of The K Club and the triumph that was the Ryder Cup 2006 - all feature, alongside his love and commitment to his family. Truly, a life worth living. | 2019-04-18T16:33:03 | https://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/a-life-worth-living-the-autobiography/22805371 |

TRENTON, N.J.—The Professional Insurance Agents of New Jersey reminds motorists that spring is a good time to talk to their professional, independent insurance agent to discuss what factors affect their car insurance.
Higher deductibles can lower your costs. For example, increasing your deductible could possibly reduce your collision and comprehensive coverage cost.
You may want to consider dropping collision and/or comprehensive coverages on older cars.
Many insurers will give you a break if you bundle, or buy two or more types of insurance.
Some companies will offer discounts to drivers who drive a lower than average number of miles per year.
You also may get a discount if you take a defensive driving course.
If there is a young driver on your policy who is a good student; has taken a driver’s education course; or is away at college without a car, you also may qualify for a lower rate. | 2019-04-22T23:04:32 | https://www.insctrs.com/blog/pianj-offers-tips-to-save-money-on-auto-insurance.aspx |
YARMOUTH PORT, Mass. – Hundreds of dolphins, seals and whales are stranded on beaches in the Bay State every year, but dwindling government support is making the job to save them extremely difficult for rescuers and scientists.
Katie Moore is a marine mammal rescuer and scientist for the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) in Yarmouth Port. She says her group not only rescues the stranded animals, but also studies them, which gives scientists a glimpse into the health of the environment.
"We do a lot of health assessments, and we are looking for zoonotic diseases for one thing, and those are diseases that can be passed between animals and humans," she explains. "And that tells us about how healthy is the ecosystem that we rely on for shellfish and commercial fisheries and recreation."
Marine mammals are protected under a federal law, the Marine Mammal Protection Act. It falls under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to fulfill the mission of rescuing and releasing them - but Moore says since 2000, both NOAA and Congress have reduced funding by about 70 percent.
IFAW has an online petition asking Congress and NOAA to restore Prescott Grant Funding for marine mammal rescue programs nationwide.
Moore blames this lack of funding for the struggles her organization and others around the country - many of them nonprofits - are facing to save the animals, despite private funds and scores of volunteers who help. This means stranded animals in some areas could go without help, she adds.
"It also means that we're not out there keeping tabs on the health of that ecosystem," Moore says. "Animals really can tell us when something's happening. They can be a kind of early warning system, and if we're not there to do that, then that can put people in harm's way, if we're not there to see what's happening."
Moore says if you see a dead or stranded sea animal on the beach, call your local police. They usually have a link to the local stranding network. Another option is a call to one of NOAA's regional hotlines to report stranded or beached marine animals. | 2019-04-24T03:00:32 | https://www.publicnewsservice.org/2015-03-26/animal-welfare/groups-to-congress-restore-critical-funding-for-stranded-sea-mammals/a45341-1 |
Jorgelina (Guadalupe Alonso) has not yet entered puberty, but her curiosity about the changes that are going to happen to her have already taken hold. She steals medical books from her parents and peeks at the diagrams and pictures of women's bodies until she can't stand to keep looking, and she is alternatively fascinated by and infuriated with her older sister, Luciana (Maria Clara Merendino), who has already started getting her period and goes to the beach to try and spend time with boys. All Jorgelina wants is to spend another fun summer playing in the trailer on their property known as La Boyita, but when it's clear that isn't going to happen, she decides to spend the summer at her father's house out in farm country. There, she meets a young man named Mario (Nicolas Treise), working as a farmhand on his father's farm. Jorgelina is attracted to Mario, lying in her wading pool and whispering his name to the sky, but Mario stays at arm's length, guarding a personal secret.
Julia Solomonoff's La Boyita (full on-screen title: The Last Summer of La Boyita) is a tender and touching coming-of-age film that locates its warmth and compassion through the non-judgmental perspectives of children. There is an inclination for films like this, which are rooted in nostalgia, to be melancholy, but while there is a bittersweet quality lingering around the edges of the film, Solomonoff keeps her focus on the treasured memories rather than the tragic ones.
Above all, the casting of Jorgelina is crucial to Solomonoff's goals, and she hit the jackpot with Guadalupe Alonso. The character is crossing the bridge between youthful innocence and teenage rebellion, and Alonso is perfect for both, with the passive-yet-curious eyes that are the essence of childhood, and the need to assert herself that defines teenage rebellion. Solomonoff shows Jorgelina peering through a window, watching with a hint of jealousy and awe as her sister and her friend try on push-up bras for the beach, and later, the way she studies Mario as he works around the farm or prepares for an upcoming horse race. Jorgelina may not yet be old enough to interrogate the mechanics of what she sees and her own emotional reactions to what she observes, but Solomonoff presents her behavior with wry humor and zero judgment, even when those outcomes still have a hint of childhood brattiness (such as when Jorgelina refuses to let her sister have the bathroom to herself, or when she tells her mother she's going to hide out all day in La Boyita instead of going swimming). The film lives and dies on the authenticity of Alonso's performance, and she has authenticity in spades: through her, Solomonoff captures the feeling of being young with such clarity that the film would be worth a watch even without the rest of the plot.
However, there is more plot, and it must be discussed in detail (mild spoilers to follow). Jorgelina is aware that her sister's period has started (referring to it as "her 'thing'"). She dislikes the idea of it, but knows what to look for, which makes it surprising when she notices that Mario is bleeding after one of their horse rides. It quickly becomes clear that Mario, who is much shorter and skinnier than his brother, is not a cisgender male, and that the other boys in town have been bullying him because they seem to know his secret. This turn in La Boyita may be slightly more divisive now than it was when the film was originally released in 2009, because it turns out that Mario was assigned male at birth, and only later it was discovered that what doctors thought were male genitalia were actually female genitalia. If Solomonoff's script has a shortcoming, it's that the viewer is rarely let into Mario's head. It's unclear how much of Mario's gender identity comes from within as opposed to what has been placed on him by a family that views him as male, and a modern movie might make more effort to clarify where his dysphoria comes from beyond the implication that it was an excess of male hormones. That said, it's clear that Solomonoff's sympathy lies with Mario, and the spirit of his conflict, which is confusion, remains valid even if cultural optics have evolved in 10 years.
Unlike a number of modern queer stories, Solmonoff is aware of but minimally interested in the bigotry of others. She includes scenes of Marco being bullied and beaten, but they are brief and never linger. Instead, the core of the film is watching Jorgelina and Mario bond with one another, with Jorgelina never questioning anything that Mario tells her about himself. Through Jorgelina's non-judgmental attitude, Mario starts to come out of his shell, embracing himself and the connection between them, a journey which culminates in a simple and beautiful moment of connection at the climax of the movie. Solomonoff's film isn't groundbreaking, but it has a light and tender touch that so many other coming-of-age stories, especially ones that get into queer territory, are sadly lacking.
This new Film Movement DVD of La Boyita is being released to replace and out of print Tartan Palisades release from back when the film was still new. I am not entirely sure why they have decided to shorten the title from The Last Summer of La Boyita to La Boyita, but the full title does not appear anywhere on the packaging. The one-disc release is one of the lower-tier Film Movement releases, with what appears to be a laser-printed cover, although the disc itself is pressed. Inside the cheap Amaray case, there is an insert advertising other Film Movement titles.
Presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen, La Boyita looks adequate on DVD. Colors appear to be accurate, with minimal crush, detail is average, with some shots looking nicely refined and others looking a bit soft. I did not detect any banding or artifacting throughout the presentation, although points must be docked for the disc's use of burned-in subtitles. Sound is a similarly adequate Dolby Digital 2.0 track that sounds fine but is not particularly immersive or impressive. This is a dialogue-driven film with a low-key score, so the additional channels aren't necessarily missed.
None. Trailers for La Familia and Tanta Agua play before the main menu.
La Boyita is a warm, compassionate movie of quiet triumphs. Although there is a hint of melancholy around the edges of the film, Solomonoff chooses to put her weight on the film's sensitive qualities. Film Movement's DVD has some shortcomings, including hard-coded subtitles and no extras, but the film itself earns a recommendation. | 2019-04-25T16:32:26 | https://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/73580/la-boyita-aka-the-last-summer-of-la-boyita/ |

Discussion in 'Superchargers and Turbos' started by jasonada, 11 November 2016.
This is the mod we used to do back in the day before fuel injection. As long as there is enough fuel to match the extra air and you don't exceed what the car ecu feels is safe you should be ok.
Most ECU's will enter a limp home mode if the boost goes too high.
Generally tightening the wastegate actuator rod will keep the gate flap closed a bit longer allowing the turbo to rev faster thereby increasing pressure higher than before HOWEVER this can lead to damaging the engine.
Basically more air being crammed into the cylinders without the corresponding increase in fuel supply to keep the Air Fuel Ratios safe can lead to detonation resulting in a hole in the piston or damaged ring lands.
My experience is with modding a gas powered car and not diesel powered BUT I would tread carefully as diesels are more expensive to repair when things go bang. | 2019-04-20T14:26:02 | https://www.torquecars.com/forums/threads/waste-gate-actuator-ajustment.37946/ |

A VPN bypass flaw discovered last week in Android Jelly Bean 4.3 also exists in the latest version of Google's mobile operating system, KitKat 4.4, Israeli researchers say.
Ben Gurion University researchers found the initial bug and then did further testing to determine its existence in KitKat. The researchers published their latest findings on the university's Cyber Security Labs blog.
Google did not respond to a request for comment, but security experts said Wednesday the bugs in both versions of Android should be fixed quickly.
"I believe this is a serious issue," Paul Henry, a senior security instructor at the SANS Institute, said.
Because of differences in the OS versions, the same exploit code cannot be used, the researchers said. However, what can be accomplished by malware is the same.
The flaws make it possible for a malicious app to bypass a VPN (virtual private network) configuration and redirect the secure data communications to a different network address. The data is rerouted before it is encrypted.
The KitKat flaw is somewhat similar to what the same researchers found last December in Samsung's Knox security platform. That vulnerability could let a malicious app intercept files on Samsung S4 devices before they are stored in a secure Knox container.
Google and Samsung dismissed the reported Knox flaw, saying in a statement that the researchers' exploit "uses legitimate Android network functions in an unintended way to intercept unencrypted network connections from/to applications on the mobile device."
In essence, the researchers demonstrated a "class man-in-the-middle attack," which could be launched at any point on the network to capture unencrypted data, Google and Samsung said. The researchers did not exploit an actual vulnerability.
If the latest vulnerabilities prove to be real, then they should be fixed quickly, John Pirc, chief technology officer for security software tester NSS Labs, said. However, if Google finds that the flaw is in the network stack, "that is not trivial to fix."
In addition, any patch on Android takes time to reach users because it has to be rolled out by wireless carriers and device manufacturers.
In the meantime, Henry advises businesses to set their mobile device management systems to alert IT staff of any changes in the security settings associated with the VPN of an Android smartphone or tablet. | 2019-04-23T18:37:34 | https://www.computerworld.co.nz/article/537091/vpn_flaw_reported_latest_version_android/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeed |

After you set up in position to take down the remaining gnoll and shoosuva, the fight was bloody, but quick. While both opponents displayed unmatched savagery, they could not withstand the ambush upon their return from the pocket dimensions from which they were sent.
After searching the remains of the wrecked building, you came across a small enclosure that had 5 prisoners in it. It still seemed strange; gnolls taking prisoners was unheard of. Even if these gnolls were somehow under the control of the cambion Aramek, why keep prisoners...?
As you saw to them, it quickly came out through conversation just who these people were. Swearing you to silence, one of the caretakers, Atta, revealed that the young girls were Janya and Dalilah, the Grand Caliph's only daughters. If Aramek was truly working for the Brotherhood of True Flame, then it meant that organization was now taking direct action against the Golden Throne.
As you were deciding what to do, you noticed Kal standing off from the group, staring off into the distance. When you approached him to contribute to the plan about how to get the people back home, he responded "That isn't my concern. I'm not sure how I came to be here, but I am neglecting my duty...I must return to Ysawis. I must return to Zoraya."
You all exchanged looks. "Kal, what do you mea..."
"Why do you call me that? Call me by my name."
"...and, what is your name?" | 2019-04-23T22:43:13 | http://talesfromthefireside.com/hub?timeline=21785 |
If you notice water dripping along or into your walls, you must turn off the water supply and contact a plumber right away. This may mean that you have serious plumbing problems. Many issues related to this cause mildew and mold, mold or a flooded home. A water heater that has no tank is a good choice for those who are interested in conservation. Tankless water heaters heat on demand rather than keeping a large amount of water when needed because they aren't used to store water. This saves money on electricity and water that isn't used. When looking at new fixtures for your plumbing, brass is an option to consider. Brass models pose the advantages of durability and much more durable than other fixtures currently available. Brass also much better than other fixture options. You can find these in any hardware store. There are a lot of amateurs in plumbing, so if you're a pro, consider adding an apprentice to your roster. More information about Top Rated Sewer Line Repair Specialists Perryman MD.
There is no shortage of amateurs in the plumbing field, so if you consider yourself a professional plumber, think about getting an apprentice. This is a beneficial way get inexpensive help, and to pass on your knowledge to someone younger. When the weather get very cold, it creates prime conditions for frozen pipes. Even pipes that are inside will freeze if they are running from outside the house can freeze. Be sure that you are keeping either a heat lamp or heater near the pipes. The chain in your toilet might not have enough pressure, but if the chain is not the problem, the flapper needs replacement.

The college is so good for learning as well as to have innovations in us and also to enhance and build our skills properly.
RIET(Rajasthan Institute of Engineering and Technology), I came to college with fingers crossed as I was worried about my higher studies after my 12th. After an month of college life I made friends then I participated in cultural events then I came to know more about myself my Capabilities and my Abilities how much I can expand my thoughts with positivity and enthusiasm and think new ideas that will benefit our society and livelihood. RIET has provided many courses like SOFT SKILLS, COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES & HUMAN VALUES from the very beginning so that every individual will get basic ethics rather than technical knowledge. These ethics help them in better human being. By these sessions students like me who are introvert will get to know how to present or how to express our ideas and thoughts to others in an confident way.
Faculties are very supporting in every stage of your work.

Hello I'm Priyanka Ghute, pursuing b.tech from RIET college. The environment of college is too good and the faculty members are also well qualified and disciplined. The college not only provides the regular studies but also there are different types of activities like as CRT classes. CRT classes are very interesting we learned many things from that like as how to speak ,how to wear etc. The campus hostel is very nice as well as well equipped with gym facilities. College provides a platform which helps in growth of each and every student. Overall everything is good.
The faculty members are well qualified and disciplined.
Infrastructure is usually a concern for most photogenic fanatics but until you are getting the gold from an abandoned mine , that place is more valuable to me more than any appealing palace can ever be ! So it is what is required, because RIET is providing every machine, system, network, facilities and everything that you require for energetic studies. Faculties are the most strong pillars of this Institute. Not only the teaching staff, but non-teaching advisors, the administration cells, the disciplinary staff is also supportive and active whenever there is need.
Well if i talk about RIET as a college its been a great destination of complete learning. The college has everything if we talk about infrastructure, Technology and placement.Its one the oldest college of Rajasthan and boast of its reputation throughout India. I would not say that its comparable with IITs but yes if we think about Tier 2 colleges in engineering then RIET stands clear in Rajasthan. One more Thing which we miss at our times was more of Industry Interaction programs but now i have heard that the same has been increased to a good number too.
RIET educates students in a very creative way and encourages them to think out of the box. However, the college not only helps me to excel in the academic field, but also teaches me a lot about different cultures and how to appreciate them. “Learning by doing” is not only a slogan but lived reality. The multicultural environment that is unique to RIET provides me with the opportunity to become friends with people and also various learning opportunities via seminars,workshops and industrial visits conducted by College.
I like all the teachers of this institution cause they are deserving for the same.
For any student college plays a vital role in developing an overall personality of a person and as far as RIET is concerned it is one of the finest institute of Jaipur , which moulds a students personality very well and helps in the overall development of a student. College is VERY well equipped and also have good faculty members who are always there for assistance and guidance. As far as overall environment is considered it is good and learning. Hence, would recommend it further to my friends and relatives.
Well if i have to talk about complete experience i would like to rate it at 4 out of 5 . The college has the complete ingredient of finest technical education. The infrastructure is quite attractive. The overall reputation of 14 years has been outstanding. The complete program along with campus training programs will instill a great rush of confidence in you. Though some times its being difficult to cope up with discipline but now after passing out i can feel the utility of that discipline.
RIET provides students with state-of-the art infrastructure which helps them to attain understanding of their chosen engineering discipline. Engineering transforms scientific discoveries into technological solutions for the benefit of humanity. Everything we rely on for work, life and play has been touched by Engineering. For the hostel I can say that it is the best hostel and food is very hygienic. Nice green campus and college. One of the best engineering institute.
I am someone who loves to learn irrespective of the field and even after being a technical college, RIET gave me platform to try my hand at everything. I am very content and satisfied with my decision of joining this college for my graduation. When I joined the college, I was just a Caterpillar but I bloomed and transformed into a butterfly, just because of the environment of the college. The suggestions and advice from our teachers has helped me in grow as person.
The suggestions and advice from our teachers has helped me in grow as person.

Thanks for everything RIEt. I got placed in RIET, with handsome pac kage,. So they prove what they say. I am fully satisfied with RIET. A few drawback is there but that can be found everywhere.

Fest are the best part for every student's life so that was for me. I enjoyed every bit of my collegetime .
There are several number of clunbs are in RIET which conducts different different activities for students .
I am a first-year student at RIET college bhankrota .From electrical and electronics branch. I have taken admission in this college as it was good for students seeking admission in Rajasthan. Its infrastructure is good, the placement of the college is also good. It is affiliated to Rajasthan Technical University.

The placement facilities of the college are just awesome. After completing MCA from here I got a good job as a data scientist in MNC at job fair conducted by RIET. Thanks for providing me such a great opportunity.
Faculty is supportive and whenever I had any doubt regarding anything, they cleared it most of the time.
Situated in the hot climate, the atmosphere of this college actually acts as a relief to the weather. Faculty , infrastructure , placements etc are all good and I have no faults to point out in this college.
Some great faculty is there which is always ready to help us out.
Almost all the students were palced last year. The placement team is very helpful and good in their work.
RIET is a amazing college with mice infrastructure and good placement, the teachers are very good and the college managment is very nice.

Set to become the UK's largest residential Passivhaus development, it is great to see Agar Grove in Camden gaining recognition at prestigious awards.
The PHI 2019 Component Award 'Windows for the Future' is open for entries. All manufacturers with a certified passivhaus window are invited to participate in the award.
Hill House Passivhaus, a self-build by Meloy Architects, is the first fully certified Passivhaus within Lewes and the wider South Downs National Park. The detached new-build home is designed to emanate the two dilapidated sheds which previously occupied the site and as such the project is designed to be simple and purposefully melds into its wooded surroundings.
A pair of Victorian semi-detached houses in Manchester become the first in the UK to receive EnerPHit Plus certification.
A new primary school building, designed by PHT Patron member Architype in London aims to be the first Passivhaus Plus education project in the UK.
UK Passivhaus Awards Large Residential finalist 2018 has been awarded the AJ Architects Housing Project of the Year 2018.
The 2018 sell-out UK Passivhaus Conference saw approximately 250 delegates congregate in Leeds earlier this month to discuss Passivhaus & the road to zero carbon.

Morgan thinks a return to the original MDC will save him but then the dynamics have changed a lot. A company of fools suffers harm and bad company corrupts good character.
JUST like I told you, the supposed grand opposition coalition is dead. Joice Mujuru, with all her weaknesses and her mounting troubles decided she had nothing to do with the nonsense. One of the MDC-T vice presidents, Thokozani Khupe decided to stay away from the circus. Tendai Biti of the Peopleai??i??s Democratic Party was there, but not there. Professor Welshman Ncube was there, but all the time he looked like he was ashamed to be there.
Allow me to laugh before I tell you of this one ai??i?? kikikiki kikikikkikiki, Kudakwashe Bhasikiti and Munacho Mutezo were the bodyguards as Agrippa Mutambara arrived at the venue.
Turi, turi, turi varume vakuru! Even jokers were welcome. Kikikikikiki!
The people were not there. This was supposed to be some grand coalition. Zimbabwe Grounds in Highfield was supposed to come to a standstill, but it looks like the people were feeding the MDC-T its own medicine of boycotts and stay-aways. Vanhu kana kuita hanya nazvo. Imomo muHarare munonzi itai??i??s an MDC-T stronghold. Ko chii nhai vanhu? Please show some love!
The MDC-T in general and Morgan in particular should not blame anyone.
This was always coming. Morgan is fast developing into a desperate dictator and since the talks about the coalition started, he has been bullying people as if haasi kurwara. His total disregard and contempt of other peopleai??i??s views were always going to put off many people.
But then Zimbabweans know their Holy Book. They were guided by 1 Corinthians 15 vs 33 which says; ai???Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character.ai??? Others relied on Proverbs 5 vs 20-21 which says; ai???Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.ai???
Now look what has happened. Instead of a grand opposition coalition, we only saw attempts to re-unite the several MDC formations.
Morgan thinks a return to the original MDC will save him but then the dynamics have changed a lot.
A company of fools suffers harm and bad company corrupts good character.
Despite signing that piece of paper that they called the MOU, Joice couldnai??i??t stand the bullying tactics of Morgan. She is going to the 2018 elections ari oga. Chakashinga wena Joice.
On the other hand, Khupe thinks Prof Ncube is coming back to re-take Bulawayo away from her and naturally she is not happy.
While the circus was unfolding in Harare, Khupe anga achitoruka madhoiri zvake paBulawayo.
The unsure Biti was there to test the waters.
He doesnai??i??t have the numbers so, he wanted to assess kuti iye Morgan wacho achinavo here vanhu. On arrival at Zimbabwe Grounds, Biti was disappointed.
Reports say Biti grudgingly signed the piece of paper and quickly looked the other side.
Prof Ncube came to the venue hoping for the best. He was gutted by the pathetic figures. Reports say Sildalis without prescription, zithromax reviews. aishanyarika sepwere hoping kuti zvipere chop, chop.
Mutambara was so ashamed to be part of the circus such that when he stood before the MDC-T supporters, he refused to do the MDC-T slogan. Morgan told the clearly uninterested crowd that ai???takarohwa nezveusiku in 2013.ai??? Well, just wait a bit Morgan, uchanyatsorohwa nezvemasikati next year.
Bishop Lazarus doesnai??i??t feel like preaching too much about this because as they say, a picture can say a thousand words. Let the pictures speak and give you a thousand words. | 2019-04-19T18:46:23 | https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/hear-this-morgan-numbers-dont-lie |
Afterwards, several one-on-one meetings were held with the physician and staff to review the findings and to assist with implementing processes related to patients receiving opioid analgesics. Recommendations for how to implement the medical board’s policies on treating patients with chronic pain into the practice were addressed. The physician was also given information on registering to use the prescription-monitoring database for that state.
In addition to following all the provided guidance the physician obtained additional education on managing patients with chronic pain issues, and began referring more complex patients to pain clinics. The changes made a positive impact on patient safety in the office and significantly reduced the physician’s medical liability exposure. The corrective actions also resulted in the board’s dismissal of the complaint against the physician.

A Thornton couple who were flooded out of their home are unable to return eight months on.
Stephen and Paula Simpson spent weeks sleeping on their son’s sofa after they were flooded out of their New Lane home in November.
Now they say they are unable to move back into their beloved home, where they have lived for 22 years, and are living in a rented bungalow in Out Rawcliffe.
The damage caused to their home in the floods was estimated to be around £54-£56,000 by a surveyor. They say they were only offered £24,900 by their insurance company, Direct Line, to cover the house and its contents.
Paula, 61, said: “We haven’t got any carpets or tiling on the floor.
“Even the internal doors and skirting boards have to be replaced, because we had seven inches of water throughout the whole house.
“We lost absolutely everything on the ground floor – TVs, settees, coffee tables, tables and chairs, laptops and printers, and everything in the shed. I feel absolutely awful.
“We don’t want to be in a rented property.
“We want to be in our own house.
“We might have to get a loan for thousands of pounds to get our house back to normal.
Direct Line said: “We are sorry to hear about Mr and Mrs Simpson’s disappointment and sincerely apologise for the delay they have faced.
“As with many large claims like this, the building work required to repair Mr and Mrs Simpson’s home was put out to several different contractors to tender. | 2019-04-18T18:37:19 | https://www.fleetwoodtoday.co.uk/news/thornton-couple-flooded-out-of-home-for-months-1-9257853 |

The increasing demands of our rapidly expanding population, the growing complexities of health care services, and the challenges of globalization have made it even more critical for us to develop a new brand of leadership for health care institutions, both public and private.
This new leader/manager should be equipped with the appropriate managerial skills and attitudes to efficiently and effectively direct scarce resources to help build a health care delivery system that is responsive to the needs of our people in terms of availability, accessibility, and affordability.
The MBA in Health program is designed for leaders of health service organizations who find themselves managing their organizations without having had the benefit of previous formal management training.

This is a core course in the MBA-Health program that grounds the students on the Philippine health system. Students are introduced to the concepts of health and development and to the workings of the health system. Elements of the health system are analyzed and stakeholders identified. Students are asked to look at how these elements and stakeholders interact, either in synergy or in opposition to each other, as the health system moves towards improving the health of the people.
The course stresses the need for a more rational, coherent and enlightened understanding of the workings of the health system so that the fragmentation and disconnectedness that pervade the current system can be reformed by influencing the way people think, feel and behave about health.
Students are also asked to confront the roles they play, as health professionals representing various sectors and disciplines, in this process of transformation. The end goal of the course is to provide the students with a relevant context for the application of the competencies they will learn as leaders and managers in the health sector.
This course is an introduction to the use of epidemiology in management and decision-making for the graduate student. The student will learn to use an epidemiological model for the delivery of health care services, methods for measuring need and health, analytic approaches to decision-making when evaluating the impacts of health care programs and policies, and how to apply epidemiology in program planning and selected specialty areas.
The course will introduce perspectives from the social sciences and their possible applications for health care, particularly the development of cultural competence. Using a cross-cultural survey of different medical systems- with emphases on those found in the Philippines-the course will underscore the need to look at the diversity of meanings, beliefs, symbols and rituals around health care, both “western” and “non-western”. The course will also look at the ways different societies organize themselves for health care in the popular, folk and professional sectors, often in response to challenges posed by the environment. Finally, the course will look at how macro structures and institutions- locally and globally-shape health care systems in different social and historical settings.
The course is an introduction to health economics or the use of economics in the health sector. There are two branches of health economics: micro and macro. The former focuses on economic behavior of individuals and firms while the latter focuses on system structure and complex interactions between the structural components that affect national health system outcomes. Both branches are important in understanding health care policies and management decisions and the course will cover both.
Economic theory and analysis influence health decision-making and the course will provide the students with an economic framework to understand how the Philippine health system is structured. The course will also deal with the issue of allocation of limited health care resources. Further, the conduct of economic evaluation of healthcare interventions will be deliberated in class.
Many business schools in the world today require Business Ethics courses in order “to educate men and women on a heightened sense of their moral and social responsibilities.” (Can Ethics be Taught: Approaches at Harvard Business School 1993) There is a growing recognition that managers have a tremendous power to shape not only business organizations but the surrounding community as well. In light of recent business scandals in the United States, the public is increasingly demanding that managers use this power with care and that business be accountable to society at large.
Managers in the health care business are not exempt. In fact, there is an even greater call for ethical behavior in this field because it generally deals with vulnerable populations.
Health care ethics has traditionally been taught within the confines of the patient-doctor relationship. In truth, health care ethics necessarily concerns the larger community where conflicts of interests are often the norm rather than the exception. Thus, there is a need for health care providers—managers and practitioners alike—to be capable of ethical deliberation and action.
The course will discuss the foundations of ethics in general and of health care ethics in particular. It will also attempt to help students improve their ethical decision making by presenting a model for ethical reasoning that may be used in analyzing dilemmas confronting health care managers.
This course aims to introduce the students to a depth of thinking about individuals and collective patterns of leadership practices called for in this Master’s program. Designed as an interactive and reflective course, the learning interventions will focus on guiding the students to reflectively process or understand leadership patterns and dynamics as applied in their personal and professional lives. Reflective/critical thinking and ethics based reasoning and decision-making are emphasized.

Here’s my rundown of the best 5 in this category: Men outnumber women. There are plenty of opportunities for those men who show that they want to connect with women on a more intimate level than simply having a quick “one nighter”. This means you do not have to worry about your membership expiring or upgrading accounts in order to gain access to certain features. Once you use-up your credits, you lose access until you purchase more.

Twenty-year-old Meghan Gallagher’s Facebook page says a lot about the aspiring country singer: she likes to take selfies with her parents and she is a class clown, posing with a goofy, cross-eyed grin in several photos.
“Before I knew it, we were scheduling a photo shoot and producing my EP a few months later in a recording studio in Nashville,” says Meghan, adding that artists like Rascal Flatts, Florida Georgia Line, and Kenny Chesney recorded at the same studio, County Q Productions. Gallagher’s stage name is Meghan Nicole and she is an artist for Muddy Records, in Harrisburg, Ill., co-owned by her manager, Tim Ash. Gallagher’s mom and dad have been very supportive of her potential singing career since she was a young girl, enrolling her in voice classes when she was 9 years old.
“She’s been singing since she was 3 years old. She would sing (music from the movie) ‘Beauty and the Beast’ all the time, it was her favorite,” says Rita, picturing Meghan dancing around in front of the television. Meghan has participated in several singing competitions, including the Indiana State School Music Association Annual State Solo and Ensemble Championships where she’s won the gold award five times (with a perfect score in 2012) and silver once.
When Meghan finished her last song in front of the 713 students in the Memorial High School auditorium, one student stood up and asked her to sing “Light the Fire,” seen as a Memorial tradition, for old-time’s sake. “Light the Fire” is the song performed by the school choir at the end of Mass each week. Meghan then gave an emotional performance. Meghan ended with some advice to her peers: don’t ever give up on your dream, even if it seems unreachable. Look for that one opportunity to make it happen, and go for it, don’t let your fears hold you back.
