Terrific article on Economist.com this week analysing how Hillary Clinton’s campaign fell apart …
The Economist is a British newsmag, with a moderate lean to the right … but their articles are incredibly insightful and researched, and presented more objectively than any American media outlet.

Footvolley Australia
Footvolley Australia started when a group of friends decided to bring the sport famously played at Brazilian beaches to the Sydney Northern Beaches. In the summer of 2008 they pitched in to buy the net and poles and began playing footvolley over the weekends at Long Reef beach.
As volleyball nets had begun populating the sands of famous Manly beach, the group also made sure to play there, where they were watched with curiosity by the fellow volleyball players wondering- Footvolley…Play Volleyball with WHAT?… foot?!
Many locals and several tourists stop to watch, film and take pictures of this fascinating sport packed with acrobatics. More players have joined us by the spread of word among friends or just by watching us head, chest shoulder and volley the ball over the net. Football players and enthusiasts have also been asking to have a go on the tricks and learn the new skills.
Learning the fact that Footvolley began gaining popularity and the number of players interested in footvolley increased, Footvolley Australia (FVA) decided to create the official organisation for the sport in Australia.
Our Mission
Footvolley Australia is committed to supporting development and growth of the practice of footvolley -an innovative physical and recreational activity- to promote physical and mental health, well-being and social interaction of Australians in a safe environment for the local community to communities across Australia.
Additionally, Footvolley Australia strongly encourages well-balanced eating habits to promote healthy Australians.
We will promote and grow Footvolley’s position and profile through successful working relationships with stakeholders; innovative thinking; develop performance of Australian athletes; and a dynamic management team.
Our Core Values
We will:
a. Be open, ethical and accountable in all that we do
b. Proactively operate as a leader in the Australian and global Footvolley community
c. Be aware of, respect and be responsive to stakeholder needs
d. Enjoy and have pride in our work
e. Actively embrace change
Our Vision
To increase the participation levels of Footvolley throughout NSW and Australia to levels comparable with Australia’s traditional sports.
To provide professional and high quality Jump into It opportunities for all ages and levels.
To provide and increase the number of professional and high quality social competition opportunities.
To establish Footvolley as a school sport and provide the coaching resources necessary for this.
To make the sport of Footvolley better accessible to the general public and developing athletes by increasing the number of learning and competition opportunities available.
Australian Footvolley
Footvolley Australia is a not for profit incorporated National Sporting Organisation formed to establish, guide and promote the development of footvolley in Australia.
FVA came to officialise footvolley by registering new members, organising coaching to men, women and children and coordinating a future national league. FVA aims to create strong national teams to represent Australia at international events in USA, Europe and Asia, including the Footvolley World Cup and showcase at the Olympic Games in Brazil in 2016.
Footvolley Australia expects the sport to gain ground across Australia and become an active participant internationally. | http://www.footvolley.org.au/about-footvolley-australia/ | 2018-10-15T18:04:35 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Fizz was the love of her owner's life in countless ways, and had a much longer, healthier, and happier life than we ever thought possible.
Through Fizz's determination, the veterinarian's expertise, God's grace, and her owner's devoted care, Fizz lived to be 11 and 1/2 years old—over three times her expected lifespan! We miss her deeply, but know she is having a wonderful time in heaven and is going to greet us when we get there.
One of the incredible things that almost always happens when you help an animal is that your own life is enriched in ways you could never have imagined. Not only are you making a difference in an animal's life, but your own life becomes much better than before.
Through our written materials, we want to pay tribute to the amazing difference Fizz has made in our lives and to help other animals and children. Our children's book, Four Seasons in the Spring House, is the first product available after switching from selling catnip socks. We felt that by changing product lines, we could reach a wider audience and raise more money for animal charities and children's organizations.

he smell is horrendous," said a neighbor.
That's because under these boards and rocks is a broken sewer line. And for the past five weeks, every time somebody in this apartment building flushes the toilet, the waste flows out of this broken pipe into this woman's backyard.
"I don't know what word to use. Doo-doo and all kinds of stuff in my back yard," said Lisa Phillips who lives next door to the apartment building.
Lisa says she's complained to both the landlord and the City of Cincinnati. But nothing's been done to stop doo-doo from flowing onto her property.
"They keep citing him (landlord) but he doesn't seem to pay attention to the cites," she said.
Tired of all the crap, Lisa called FOX 19.
"I just keep getting the runaround."
That same day, FOX Consumer Reporter Tom Sussi called the city's building and health departments.
"It's bad," reported Sussi. "You can drive up and smell it."
City inspectors came out and agreed that this mess had to be cleaned up ASAP. This time, the city told owner Robert Ridenour he had 48 hours to repair this broken sewer line. Or else this area would be declared a public health emergency. The building would be evacuated. And this sewer line repaired at his expense.
Ridenour is on probation for drug charges and apparently didn't want any more trouble. Because two days later the sewer line was repaired. No more doo-doo in Lisa's back yard.
During a brief telephone conversation, Ridenour blamed the broken sewer line on the people who live there clogging up the tiolets. H also said he's in the process of evicting several people, and selling the building. | http://www.fox19.com/story/1897541/fox-19-helps-clean-up-smelly-situation/ | 2018-10-15T16:49:11 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

The man accused of killing a Good Samaritan nearly three years ago in Algiers heads to court Thursday.
Kendall Harrison, now 20-years-old, allegedly shot and killed Mike Ainsworth in 2012.
Police say Harrison pulled a gun on a woman as she was getting ready for work on January 25, 2012.
Officers say Ainsworth was standing at a bus stop with his two children when he heard screams for help. Ainsworth attempted to help the woman in her vehicle. After a struggle, Harrison fired through the front window of the car, striking Ainsworth.
A neighbor described the tragic scene.
"I just saw him laying there. But I know [his children] were crying their eyes out – daddy, daddy, daddy - and I got them away from it 'cause I didn't want them to see that," explained Al Schmitt, the victim's neighbor.
Harrison faces charges of second degree murder and armed robbery. | http://www.fox8live.com/story/27546308/thursday-court-date-for-man-accused-of-killing-good-samaritan-in-2012/ | 2018-10-15T18:20:22 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
One of my favorite models is now the newest brand ambassador of Penshoppe, one of the Philippine's top clothing brand. Lucky Blue Smith wears all the summer outfit for all the youth out there and I am sure everyone will love it.
The vibe of the shoot is just very pleasant... Poolside and that retro look works very well. Not really a big fan of summer in the Philippines but I am definitely excited to wear some of Penshoppe's summer outfit this 2016. | http://www.foxmystyle.com/2016/02/lucky-blue-smith-penshoppe-ambasaddor-summer.html | 2018-10-15T18:21:47 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Welcome.
Anyone is welcome to attend our events. You don't need a professional race car or even any changes to be completed to take part - many if not all of our members race their everyday vehicles, including Smart cars, pickups, compact sedans and even the occasional sports car.
Our solo events are usually completed with just a single person on the circuit, and safety is always considered when taking part. it's a very fun activity, and we invite people to ask questions, attend the events and see what we're about. Many of our events will conclude in "fun runs" where non-competitive laps are completed, and spectators are encouraged to request a ride around the course - it's a great way to see what it's like.
If you're interested in taking part, keep an eye on our website for event information. We tend to have monthly summer events, during the months of April to November, as well as a 2 or 3 during the winter months, which can be great fun with snow on the ground!

Michelle Freeman featured in Delaware Today
36 Intriguing Delawareans • Michelle Freeman
CEO of the Carl M. Freeman Companies
BY Ken Mammarella, Sept 2017 issue of Delaware Today
Michelle Freeman—the 50-year-old CEO of the Carl M. Freeman Companies—is open about the pains that life has thrust upon her. “I learned from both men I loved that lives are what matter, not stuff,” she says. “It’s scary to be honest, but if you are, change comes. Somehow, if my pain helps someone else, it’s not in vain.”
That pain included addiction, poverty and accidents that killed her husband and, later, her boyfriend. “I wouldn’t wish this on anybody,” she says. “I try not to look at myself as a victim.” It all made her grow in “wisdom, friendship, love, connections and empathy.” It grounded her, too. “Every time I’m at the Freeman Stage, I pick up chairs, make coffee, do whatever it takes to be real.”
The first pain was addiction. “I don’t ever remember drinking normally,” she says, “and my drug use followed that trajectory.” She became clean and sober at age 20.
After dropping out of college, she became a mother at 23. The father didn’t provide much support, but her family, friends and faith did. Freeman juggled multiple jobs: waitressing at her parents’ restaurant (she was born a DiFebo, the family behind Feby’s Fishery in Wilmington) and at Fran O’Brien’s in Rehoboth Beach and selling real estate. “I did whatever I could to make financial ends meet,” Freeman says, though she still needed food stamps.
Over the years, Freeman built a better life that included better-paying work, a fairy-tale marriage to Joshua M. Freeman—scion of the company that developed Sea Colony in Bethany—and two more children. Then tragedy struck—twice. In 2006, Josh was killed in a helicopter crash. In 2014, Freeman’s first serious boyfriend since Josh’s death, local restaurateur Matt Haley, died after a motorcycle accident in India.
Such pains inspired Freeman to pay it forward to her staff. “It colors everything about the experience of working for Freeman,” she says. She stresses good deeds and philanthropy through two charitable foundations, gender equality in pay, empowering people to speak up and wrapping it all in a “safe and fun workplace.”

Today, my eldest child turns 11. I know that I should say that I can't figure out where the years have gone, but I can't. I know it should feel like he can't be more than 8 or 9 years old. But the truth is, I have to keep reminding myself that he is only 11. It seems like he should be at least 14 or 15. How can he still be so young???
If you know Jacob, you understand. If you don't, let me explain. Jacob has always been ahead of his time. He wasn't an easy infant, but by the time he was a year old, he became ideal. Well, truth be told, I didn't realize how much of an angel he was, because he was my first. I just thought I was an amazing parent.
[pause for laughter]
Nope. Turns out that I am just blessed with an extraordinary kid. Not only has he always been very obedient, but we found out that he's really smart once he was in school. He even skipped a grade, which means that he started middle school before he turned 11, and he's STILL taking advanced math. Not only is he smart, he's pretty wise. He often says things that are simply beyond his years. He gets things that I didn't get until I was at least in my late 20's. In fact, when he actually acts his age, I find it incredibly charming. He's quite a kid. He's not perfect, of course. There are issues that he needs to work on, like responsibility. But really, if my kid is just now turning 11 and I am able to focus almost exclusively on getting him to do all of his chores without being reminded, well, I can't complain.
See? He's not your average 11 year old. Which is why I sometimes forget.
But I'd better stop bragging, because he reads my blog, and I don't want him to get a big head.
Happy Birthday to my amazing son, Jacob!
I love birthdays. I try to make them special. It's the one day of the year for each person that is purely their day. I don't go crazy.....we have limited means, so we get a few gifts, and maybe one of them will be on the major side. This year Jacob has been trying to save for a tablet. So Grandma is chipping in toward that, and we are paying half of whatever is left to pay. He has most of his share saved up already, but he hasn't yet found the deal that he is looking for. Fortunately, he is not looking at the iPad. Phew.
Anyway, we don't go all out financially, but we do set the evening aside, let the birthday boy or girl pick dinner, and have cake and ice cream afterwards, followed by opening gifts. On their 5th and 10th birthdays, we take them to Chuck E. Cheese. Parties on 5th, 13th and 16th. And who knows what else. We also try....try, I say....to do something special on or around each birthday. On the weekend nearest Jacob's birthday, we try to go to a cider mill. On Nora's birthday, I try to get to a greenhouse to pick out some flowers, including sweet peas. Max's birthday is a little harder. We went blueberry picking this past year, and he liked it, so maybe that'll become a thing. Obviously, it doesn't have to be a big deal. It's just a tradition that they can connect to their day.
But every year, at least so far, I make a special cake. There have been a few exceptions. One year Nora got a glimpse of a pretty cake in the case at the D&W bakery and desperately wanted it, and it happened to be her 5th birthday, when I was throwing her a surprise tea party. Lots of cooking and baking was involved in the party (on a different day), so getting out of baking the big cake was a win/win. Most years, I am spending at least two days baking and decorating. I try to make a cake that suits their interests that year and/or reflects the special name that we call them. Jacob is "pumpkin", Nora is "sweet pea" and Max is "peanut".....although I extended Max's name to "peanut butter" early on, and it stuck.
Jacob, a couple of years ago, requested a round chocolate cake with chocolate icing. The previous year, I had made a space shuttle cake, since he wants to be an astronaut.
But he decided that he prefers a more symmetrical cake. It bugged him that everybody got a different size and shape piece of the space shuttle, and with a round cake, everyone's slice is equal. That's just the kind of kid he is. It's all about math and science with him. Me, I'm more of the creative type. So I get around his exacting standards by at least throwing some canned pumpkin in the cake. It actually makes it really moist without making it taste like pumpkin, but more importantly, it gives me some secret satisfaction. Not so secret anymore, I guess. Hi, Jacob!
So I don't have a fancy new cake to show you right now, but the important thing is that it is the cake that Jacob wants. And to be honest, if I was making a space shuttle, I wouldn't have the time to write this post! Here are some of the cakes that I have made in the past:
Jacob's 1st birthday happened to be on the eve of his cousin's wedding. We had his party in a hotel room outside of Chicago, so I made sort of portable cakes that would survive the trip.
No pictures of my birthday cakes. There's a very good reason for that. I don't like cake much. Plus, my birthday is 3 days before Christmas, and the last thing I want amid the Christmas cookies, candy, and other holiday treats, is leftover birthday cake. We decided to get around that by just going out for dessert--whatever dessert we want, after dinner on my birthday. That takes a little stress out of the week, since nobody has to bake me a cake (which, again, I don't really like much anyway), and best of all, NO LEFTOVERS!

April 2012
Where do YOU shop for your wine?
We are creatures of habit when we shop.most of us go to the same grocery store on the same day every week to get what we need for the week. And, most of us buy our wine at the grocery store because it's there and it's convenient. The grocery chains also carry the same old every day wines that are mostly recognizable names.
On top of that, we have chains offering 30-40% off if you buy six or more bottles. So, that sounds great, doesn't it? NOT !!!!
Along comes this great little wine shop right in our own back yard called "
Ventura Wine Company
". Started in 2001 by local Nick Fisher, this little store has grown from a small location next to the DMV, to his current location on Telephone. The store carries almost 1000 different wines with a heavy influence on California wineries. The prices here are well below the supermarket prices, even after their so called discounts. Nick is
always looking for highly acclaimed and highly rated wines as well as special deals that lure his customers into the store week after week. His knowledgeable staff is always there to inform the customers of the latest and greatest wine that "just came in".
In addition to the Ventura location, Nick also has a store about 20 miles up the coast called "Carpinteria Wine Co". Same great selection, same low prices.
The Ventura location is also home to the fantastic eatery called " The Cave". Here you can eat some of the finest food in Ventura, and taste several wine on the enomatic wine machines which allows you to taste before you buy. Over 32 wines are always available to taste for a nominal fee. Chef Gary Daniels and his staff is always there to greet his guests. The Cave has won the Wine Spectator "Award of Excellence" the last two years.
So, if you don't buy your wines at VWC, you are spending wayyyyyy to much money on your wine.

Acquiring, learning and perfecting skill is more than motor learning, it requires recognition that the body is a complex system that is continually learning and adapting to ever changing environments. It is not a computer to be programmed, rather it is a self organizing problem solving organism, always learning and growing. The body learns through exploration. I feel it is not about exploring limits, it is more about defining parameters and learning options. We must allow for and encourage individual expression. In reality as coaches what we need to do to insure continual adaptation is to change constraints so the we keep challenging the athlete to solve increasingly complex motor problems. The solutions are as varied as there are athletes performing skill. Be especially aware that you are not creating robots. I know I have been guilty of creating robots by trying to fit the athlete into a box of technical perfection. That box does not exist; it is always changing and being modified. Let’s encourage that exploration of movement parameters at every level of proficiency. My suspicion is that skills will improve and that injuries will be reduced. | http://www.functionalpathtrainingblog.com/2009/09/skill-acquistion.html | 2018-10-15T17:11:52 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

OXFORD — Jacksonville State dropped a 5-2 decision to top-seeded Tennessee Tech in the second round of the 2018 Ohio Valley Conference baseball tournament Thursday at Choccolocco Park.
The loss drops JSU to the elimination bracket and will face Southeast Missouri, who lost to Morehead State 18-9 later Thursday. Friday’s game is set for 3 p.m. at Choccolocco Park. If the Gamecocks win the first game Friday, they will play a second game later in the day.
OVC pitcher of the year Travis Moths and the conference’s player of the year, Kevin Strohschein proved why they were tabbed the top performers in the OVC as Moths kept JSU off balance throughout the day en route to collecting his 13th win of the season. Moths tossed 7 1/3 innings and limited JSU to four hits in the outing and posting eight strikeouts. Strohschein was responsible for most of Tech’s offense with four hits at the plate, highlighted by a two-out, three-run home run in the fifth to expand Tech’s lead to 5-0.
He gave the Golden Eagles the lead with a two-out RBI single in the third off of JSU starter Derrick Adams.
Adams, who was saddled with the loss, allowed all five runs in 5 1/3 innings of work and touched for seven hits. The junior lefty recorded five strikeouts.
JSU broke up Tech’s shutout bid with and RBI by senior Taylor Hawthorne and brought the tying run to the plate after TTU’s Ethan Roberts ran in to some trouble in the ninth. Senior Trent Simpson, who had two of JSU’s six hits, started the Gamecocks’ last chance with an infield single, followed by a walk issued to senior Hayden White, and freshman Isaac Alexander collected his second hit of the day and fourth of the tournament. Roberts induced an RBI double-play ball by Andrew Naismith to thwart the JSU comeback bid. | http://www.gadsdentimes.com/sports/20180524/jsu-falls-to-ttu-5-2-faces-semo-in-ovc-tourney-friday | 2018-10-15T17:07:51 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
There were so many great ideas for April Fool's Day food jokes out there this year! When I saw the chicken nuggets and fries though, I knew right away that it was the perfect one to fool my nugget loving boys. And I was right... it even fooled my husband!
Here's what I did: I found the ideas on Pizzazzerie,
a really fun site full of great party and holiday inspiration,
and went from there.
I found an easy recipe for a pound cake from Allrecipes:
Next time I'd skip the lemon because the cake tasted good on its own, but combined with crushed peanuts (for the breading) it made for a pretty weird flavor combination.
Once the cake is cooled, slice into pieces about 1/3 of an inch thick. Then cut into irregular "nugget" shapes like this:
Make a glaze to dip the "nuggets" into. The recipe for the glaze I found was way too thick and my nuggets were crumbling so I added water until it was really thin.
It's just to coat them so the "breading" will stick.
Glaze:
1 1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons water (or whatever amount you need to get it runny)
4 teaspoons light corn syrup
Mix it all up, then set aside and crush some peanuts (a cup and a half was more than plenty). I used my food processor so this part was really quick, but if I made these again I'd crush them a little finer. Kids with peanut allergies? Just crush up Corn Flakes (or a similar looking cereal) instead.
Then dip your nuggets in the glaze, roll them in the nuts and let them sit for a while to set. Meanwhile, make your "fries"...
Just cut some of your pound cake into strips and toast. A few of mine got a little too toasty here!
We had a short window of time between Jake's Trike-A-Thon in the morning and the time I drop off Sam for school on April Fool's Day so I brought the boys to McDonald's for lunch. They thought I was being nice to bring them there, but really it was all part of my plan for my April Fool's Day trick! I saved their fry bags, which was the KEY to really pulling off the surprise. When I gave them their "nuggets and fries" for dinner I told them the fries were leftover from lunch and that's why they looked a little different.
They both went for it!
Not a good picture here, but I included it to show that I saved the little plastic ranch cups and made my own "ranch" and "ketchup". White frosting with a few black sprinkles for ranch, and I saved a little of the white frosting before I added the sprinkles and dyed it red for the ketchup.
And then Mr. Smarty Pants started to catch on...
April Fool's!!
April Fool's!!
I loved seeing all the great ideas around Facebook
and on blogs this year for April Fool's.
and on blogs this year for April Fool's.
I can't wait for next year!!

Very clever! I think the burned fries add to the look--a few of those are always in the McDonald's bag. : ) Thanks for your sweet comments on our birthday carnival party! I just became your newest follower!
The nuggets are pretty believable! But I can see what you're saying about the peanut lemon mix...that does seem kind of odd; but hey..boys will eat just about anything :)
What a sweet idea for April Fools. I think it all looked really good - fooled me.

Last. This month, we summarize the testimony of the second three witnesses.
The stated purpose of the hearing was to review how patent disputes are handled by the Commission with the goal of determining if the ITC produces results that are fair to litigants, beneficial to the U.S. economy, and complementary to the work of U.S. district courts. However, it soon became obvious that the true purpose of the hearing was to find a way to weaken the ITC’s patent enforcement capabilities in an effort to weaken U.S. Patent rights.
House Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte.”
Goodlatte’s tone was supplemented by Subcommittee Chairman Darrell Issa
The Subcommittee specifically addressed in this hearing Section 337 of the law that established the International Trade Commission back in 1916, the authority the ITC has to issue injunctions that block the import into the U.S. of products that infringe U.S. Patents.
Deanna Okun, a former chair of the ITC, provided the title for this article when she testified that the proposed changes to ITC law are “a solution in search of a problem.” Ms. Olun defended the work of the International Trade Commission and said that “There is a direct link between the protection of U.S. IPR and American competitiveness. Section 337, by serving as a mechanism for protecting U.S. IPR, promotes economic growth and domestic job creation. Innovation is a primary driver of U.S. economic growth. IP-intensive industries account for more than $5 trillion in value added, or approximately 35 percent of U.S. gross domestic product.”
The fourth witness was Fiona Morton, the Theodore Nierenberg Professor of Economics at the Yale School of Management, and she specifically addressed standard essential patents (SEPs) and F/RAND (Fair and Reasonable Royalties) commitments as regards the International Trade Commission.
She began her testimony by stating that “the mere threat of an eventual exclusion order gives the patent holder the leverage to extract inefficiently high, above-F/RAND, royalty rates during settlement negotiations. A patent holder that has already obtained an exclusion order has even more power to increase its profits through a higher royalty.”
She added that “There is no sound economic reason why an exclusion order is needed to adequately compensate an SEP owner who is involved in a dispute with a willing licensee over validity, infringement, and reasonable royalties. If the SEP owner’s infringement claim succeeds, it will receive a reasonable royalty calibrated to reward the inventive activity with an appropriate return. Moreover, the royalty will reflect the court’s determination that the asserted patent is valid and infringed. This may result in a ‘certainty premium’ that could raise the court-determined F/RAND royalty above the level that would be freely negotiated for patents of uncertain enforceability, giving the potential licensee the incentive to settle prior to litigation for an ex ante F/RAND rate. The royalty may also include interest to compensate the patent holder for any delay in receiving its payments.”
The fifth witness before the subcommittee was Thomas Stoll, principal of Stoll IP Consulting LLP and an advisor to the White House on IP policy for the last several years. He began by stating that “The misappropriation of intellectual property is a real threat to innovation and to investment in research and development in the United States. Similarly, the abuse of enforcement proceedings can do real harm to businesses. While ITC filings by all patent owners, including non-practicing entities, certainly spiked in 2011, over the last few years the ITC has made great strides in reducing the risk that ITC proceedings can be misused. The ITC’s own statistics show that the number of investigations instituted has dropped to historically consistent numbers and that the number of filings by non-practicing entities is lower than they were before the jump in overall filings.”
He continued, “To the extent the ITC had a patent-troll problem, it appears the Commission has addressed it. U.S. Patent laws are extremely beneficial to society. They provide the incentive for inventors and companies to invest in the development of ground-breaking new technologies knowing their investment can be protected. Start-ups and other small companies armed with IP are often a better bet for investors than those without, often allowing them to secure the funding they need to grow.
"Abraham Lincoln described the beneficial effect that patent laws have on innovation as ‘add[ing] the fuel of interest to the fire of genius.’ They also aid society by encouraging the disclosure of that ‘genius’ by even the smallest of companies, without fear that their new ideas will be stolen. The ITC is charged with preventing unfair trade practices including the theft or unauthorized use of intellectual property. It can prevent products made using misappropriated patented technologies from entering the United States. It also has the extraordinary authority to issue general exclusion orders barring all imports that infringe a patent, and not just those of the importer or manufacturer.
"While we still have great domestic manufactures like Boeing, Corning and many other household names, many of our products are imported from overseas. The ITC now is the only tribunal with the authority to issue broad injunctive relief in every case in which it finds infringement. In fact, injunctive relief is the only form of relief available in the ITC; a complainant cannot recover damages there. Until relatively recently, it was almost a given that if a patent owner prevailed in a district court case the court would award an injunction.”
Stoll explained what a patentee must do to receive injunctive relief from the International Trade Commission. “In accordance with 19 U.S.C. §1337(a)(3), a party claiming that it has been harmed by the importation of infringing products must show that someone is making or selling the patented product in the United States, and that their investment in a U.S. industry that requires protection. Specifically, the patent owner must first show that it or its licensee is practicing at least one claim of the asserted patent. An entity need not make the patented invention, but may base its claim of an industry in need of protection on the products of its licensee. Second, the patent owner must show that the relief sought is needed to protect a significant investment in plant and equipment, or employment of labor or capital, or that there is substantial investment in the patent’s exploitation, including engineering, research and development, or licensing.”
The sixth and final witness was Dominic Bianchi, the General Counsel for the United States International Trade Commission. He explained that “Intellectual property holders often file complaints under section 337 because they desire a relatively quick resolution to their disputes. The USITC is statutorily charged with completing its investigations expeditiously, and the USITC’s procedures are specially designed to meet this mandate. The average time to evidentiary hearing in a section 337 investigation is about 9.5 months, and most investigations are completed within 16-18 months.
“As I outline below, the Commission’s Section 337 proceedings provide a technically sound and fair process to resolve allegations of IP infringement and other unfair acts and methods of competition by imported articles that harm U.S. industries. Similar to the federal courts, a section 337 investigation includes all aspects of patent disputes, including topics relating to (1) validity; (2) infringement; and (3) remedy. Unlike the federal courts, the Commission does not institute an investigation before the sufficiency of the complaint is assessed. Once instituted, the USITC develops a complete administrative record based on discovery and provides a full and fair opportunity for the parties to present testimony and cross-examination at a hearing and to provide legal briefing. The Commission staffs its investigatory process with IP experts and lawyers and qualified administrative law judges (ALJs) solely dedicated to adjudicating IP cases.
“Moreover, the statute requires the Commission to focus upon whether complainants have adequately established a domestic industry before a violation may be found. Further, the public interest is required to be considered in every investigation where a violation is found and an appropriate remedy is being considered. Finally, the Commission has procedures to address potentially case-dispositive issues, including domestic industry within a matter of months."
He summarized by testifying that “The USITC applies section 337 and the substantive law involved to the facts of each investigation presented to it. The Commission has made a concerted effort to develop procedures that will increase efficiencies, and reduce cost and still ensure a fulsome record. The Commission routinely seeks input into its process and diligently considers feedback from its stakeholders on ways to improve its processes and procedures.”

Former President John Dramani Mahama has refuted a 2014 claim that described him as the 4th richest man in Ghana with an estimated net wealth of $900 million.
He told a Johannesburg-based radio station, Power FM Thursday in South Africa, that his actual wealth after handing-over as President is nothing near $2 million.
“Never. No nowhere near that. I am absolutely nowhere near that ($900m),” he said, laughing out what he described as a misinformation orchestrated to malign him.
A list purportedly released by a group called Forbes Ghana about the 20 richest Ghanaians had the former leader occupying the 4th position trailing three entrepreneurs.
Section of Ghanaians were incensed by the information triggering a litany of allegations. Some people claimed Mr Mahama was shortchanging the country to amass wealth to sustain his lifestyle.
However, some former government officials mounted strong defense of the former President, labelling the claim as ridiculous and disingenious.
But opening up on the issue two months after his humiliating defeat in the December 7, 2016 presidential poll, former President Mahama said the publication was engineered by his political opponents to smear him.
“This was published by a partisan newspaper [and it] is done for political gain,” he said, adding the act forms part of the problem of leadership in Africa.
He said per Ghana’s constitution he had declared his assets while serving as President and the total worth of those assets is nowhere near “even $2 million not to talk about $900 million.”
The former President noted with disappointment that every African leader will face what he described as misinformation that is spread gleefully by the citizens. | http://www.ghanalifestyle.com/2017/02/23/i-am-not-worth-even-2m-mahama-dismisses-900m-net-wealth-claims/ | 2018-10-15T18:08:31 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ascot Resources Ltd (TSX.V: AOT; OTCQX: AOTVF) (“Ascot” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that an induced polarisation (“IP” *) test survey at Premier has successfully detected known mineralization.
Derek White, President and CEO of Ascot Resources commented, “I was pleasantly surprised with the success of this test survey and how well it shows areas of known gold mineralization. The test survey also identified a previously unknown anomaly to the southwest of the Premier pit which the Company intends to follow up with drill testing in September and October. IP provides the Company with a powerful exploration tool to directly detect mineralized structures that are below cover. The Company is undertaking a 10,000m survey both to the south of the Premier pit to the Alaska border (3.5km) and to the north towards Big Missouri Ridge (6km) where high-grade gold mineralization is also known. There is an abundance of untested highly prospective ground on our 65km2 property and I look forward to the results of the full IP survey.”
The induced polarization method has proven to be an effective tool to find anomalous areas of sulphide mineralization that are often associated with gold and base metal deposits. At the Premier site, although gold itself may not be directly detectable by IP, all of the known gold rich zones contain 2%-15% disseminated pyrite, a mineral that is easily detectable by IP. Results of the initial test surveys suggest this gold-pyrite association will provide the Company with important data for expanding the known mineralized zones and discovering new untested target areas.
Figure 1 Chargeability inversion along the test profile shown in Figure 2. The data shows the location and dip of the 609 zone as well as the Northern Lights zone. Mineralization at the 609 zone starts at shallow depth and contains disseminated pyrite. Northern Lights shows up as a strong anomaly but with less resolution due to its greater depth. The chargeability essentially outlines the distribution of pyrite (red=more pyrite).

*An Induced Polarization survey generates an electrical charge in the ground and detects chargeable minerals, such as pyrite. Chargeability is measured in millivolts/volt (mV/V).
The Company designed a test profile covering the western edge of the known gold hosting structures near the Premier open pit in order to test the effectiveness of this technique. Simcoe Geoscience of Newmarket, Ontario conducted a wireless pole-dipole time domain IP survey over the test profile with a station spacing of 50m. The profile in Figure 1 shows that the survey successfully detected the known mineralization and also outlined three anomalies that need to be investigated further.

Woods, Williams paired at Presidents Cup
Tiger Woods will square off against Australian Adam Scott and Woods’ ex-caddie Steve Williams in a promoter’s dream match-up on the opening day of the Presidents Cup tomorrow.
Woods will team up with Steve Stricker for the United States against the International team’s Scott and South Korean KJ Choi in the final match of the opening day’s foursomes at Royal Melbourne.
Greg Norman announces the opening round pairings (Credit: Anthony Powter)
Making the announcement International team captain Greg Norman and his US counterpart Fred Couples insisted there was no premeditation regarding the outcome.
But the match up will guarantee worldwide interest due to the recent controversial comments made by Williams about his former employer Woods.
“It is better to get these things out of the way early,” said Norman.
“Tiger and Adam are good friends. I don’t see this being an issue. It’s great for the tournament – it needed to be done.”
Woods was best man at Williams’ wedding in New Zealand, and Williams had loyally lugged Woods’ bag for 12 years in winning 13 majors and 72 tournaments.
Their relationship ended in July under circumstances yet to be made public.
“It was time to move on,” were Williams’ comments regarding the matter.
Williams’ subsequent statement after Scott’s win in Akron as being “the best win of my career” – despite being on the bag with Woods for 13 majors – placed him back into spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
A racist remark by Williams at an awards dinner put the issue back on the front page. Though Williams issued an apology, people were questioning Scott’s lack of criticism.
“I don’t think anyone condones racism in sport or anything,” said Scott.
“I don’t see it being an issue moving forward. I think from my side of things and my teams, the matter has been put to bed. I’ve got nothing more to talk about it with anyone. So I’m moving on.”
It’s not the first time Williams has run into trouble. Three years ago at a dinner banquet in New Zealand, he made a disparaging remark about Phil Mickelson.
Williams said it was meant in fun, although he later apologised to Mickelson.
Pairings for the opening day foursomes matches include:
- Tiger Woods-Steve Stricker (USA) vs Adam Scott (AUS)-K.J. Choi (KOR)
- Bubba Watson-Webb Simpson (USA) vs Ernie Els (RSA)-Ryo Ishikawa (JPN)
- Bill Haas-Nick Watney (USA) vs Geoff Ogilvy (AUS)-Charl Schwartzel (RSA)
- Dustin Johnson-Matt Kuchar (USA) vs Aaron Baddeley (AUS)-Jason Day (AUS)
- Phil Mickelson-Jim Furyk (USA) vs Retief Goosen (RSA)-Robert Allenby (AUS)
- Hunter Mahan-David Toms (USA) vs Kim Kyung-Tae (KOR)-Y.E. Yang (KOR) | http://www.golfgrinder.com/news/tournaments/woods-williams-paired-at-presidents-cup/ | 2018-10-15T17:16:46 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

One little bit of trivia about Hamilton movements, is (at least early on) the even numbered grades went into open faced cases and odd numbered grades went into hunter-style cases. So an 18 sized, 21 jewel 940 movement went into an open faced cased but the 18 sized 21 jewel 941 was made for a hunter case. Got it? Sometimes you'll see watches have been moved from one style case to the wrong style case.
I recently picked up a hunter-cased Hamilton. It has a 17 jewel, 16 sized 973 movement.
"Back in the day", as they say, you could go to a jeweler and pick out the movement and then pick out a case style that accommodated the movement and the jeweler would assemble the watch for you. Sometimes you'll find a really nice movement in a very inexpensive case, or vice versa, depending upon the choices of the original buyer..
Of course, the watch must be disassembled. That follows the same course as pretty much every other overhaul I've posted but it's also the reverse of the re-assembly, which I will show you below.
So here, all the parts are laid out and ready to go into the cleaner. I usually put my parts into baby food jars with cleaning solution (or rinse) and then submerge the jar in my ultrasonic cleaner filled with water. Unfortunately, a size 16 pillar plate (main plate) is too big to fit in a baby food jar, so cleaning all these parts takes a little extra effort. These parts are so large that cleaning the small parts separately from the really large (and heavy) parts is a good idea anyway.
While the parts are being cleaned I will clean and polish the case. Hunter style cases have several parts... a front cover, a bezel to hold the crystal, the case center, a dust cover and the back cover. There are lots of surfaces to clean up.
Everything is eventually cleaned and set out to dry before reassembly. These parts definitely sparkle a lot more than before they were cleaned.
First to go back on is the winding pinion and clutch wheel assembly. This part engages the stem that it retained in the case. Springs and levers on the other side will allow the clutch wheel to slide from the winding position to the time setting position.
The pallet fork in this movement is really interestingly shaped. Usually it looks like an anchor (and it's often called an anchor) but this one is definitely fork-shaped. It will go in next.
All of the jewels get a tiny droplet of oil and then the parts can go in. In the shot below, the pallet fork is in place. It's bridge will go on next and secure it in place.
Now the escape wheel and fourth wheel go in their respective positions. The escape wheel is just to the right. It's silver colored and hard to see.
And the train bridge is secured to hold the two wheels in place. These pocket watches offer a LOT more room to see if things are lined up correctly before securing parts in place.
Next, the third wheel, center wheel and mainspring barrel go into place. The center wheel is technically the "second wheel" in the gear train. The teeth going around the barrel make up the "first wheel".
With everything lined up, the barrel bridge goes on and is secured in place. A gentle prod to the center wheel makes the pallet fork move, so everything is lined up and engaged correctly.
The ratchet wheel (over the barrel) and the transmission wheel (aka winding wheel) go on next, with lubrication of all the bearing surfaces.
At this point I can turn my attention to the dial-side of the movement. The setting wheels, and minute wheel are installed. In this shot you can see the set lever on the right side of the movement. You have to pull that lever out in order to slide the clutch wheel over to the setting position. Push the lever back in and the clutch wheel slides back over to the winding position. In this shot it is in the winding position. There's another one later on with the works in the setting position.
In order to put some tension into the mainspring, I temporarily put the movement back in the case so I can wind it with the crown.
Next the jewels in the balance assembly get a droplet of oil and it is ready to go back in place.
And here the movement is happily ticking away.
The cannon pinion and hour wheel go back into place and the movement is ready to have the dial put back on. Note the set lever is pulled out and the clutch wheel is moved to the left and engaging the setting wheels.
A trip to the timer shows it's running 4 seconds fast per day... not too bad for a 104 year old watch.
The movement is reinstalled in the case.
And it's secured in place with two case screws on opposing sides of the movement circumference.
Everything is safe and secure so the dust cover and back cover can be closed up.
This case is in excellent shape and free of engravings.
Next the hands are reinstalled. All I need now is to purchase a low profile crystal to protect the dial and hands so this watch will be complete.
The 973 is a 16 size movement, isn't it? Did you have any problem mounting the watch on the timing machine? I made an inquiry about a Timegrapher 1000 was told it could be used for "small" pocket watches but was probably not suited for "large" pocket watches. They did not specify sizes for small and large.
16 Size is pretty large but if it's not in the case it fits okay in the spring-loaded chuck. Smaller movements definitely fit easier. | http://www.hamiltonchronicles.com/2013/01/1908-973-hunter-pocket-watch-overhaul.html | 2018-10-15T17:35:43 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
As you'll have probably guessed, I am a HUGE fan of Cath Kidston. Cath Kidston's beautiful florals adorn my curtains, my bed covers; even my walls. I am a sucker for a pretty floral print (can you tell by my blog layout!?) and Cath Kidston does it like no other. I am also a fan of pretty toiletries and body lotions - and always have to check out Cath Kidston's selection whenever I'm near a store. I was lucky enough to receive the Cath Kidston Wild Flowers Mini Starter Set for Christmas from my lovely boyfriend.
I've only ever tried the Wild Rose scented Cath Kidston products before (if I'm honest, I bought them purely to sit on my dressing table looking pretty) and they smell completely and utterly amazing. Rose is my favourite scent in the world, and both the shower gel and the body lotion have the super sweet, yet beautifully soft scent of wild roses. I could literally smother myself in this stuff head-to-toe, it smells so gorgeous. The Honeysuckle and Bluebell scents are also completely gorgeous, sweet and floral and basically everything I love - slightly less sickly-sweet than Rose, and a tad 'fresher' smelling, if that makes sense. I have to say Rose knocks their socks of though, for me personally anyway. I just can't get enough of the stuff.
I completely adore these cute little tubes of Cath Kidston goodness. The shower gels and body lotions both smell stunning, and the body lotions leave my skin feeling super soft and supple. The only thing I dislike about these beauties is the price - like everything Cath Kidston, they're not the cheapest. They're not ridiculously expensive either - this set of six products comes in at a tenner, although they're only 30ml minis - good for travelling! I'm not entirely sure if you can buy these products separately or if they just come in giftsets, but I know you can get the hand cream for £8 - next on my wishlist!
Have you tried Cath Kidston toiletries before? What did you think? | http://www.hannahvickers.co.uk/2013/03/cath-kidston-wild-flowers-mini-starter.html | 2018-10-15T17:01:24 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

HashBackup has been actively developed since November 2008, with the first beta release in June 2009. Over that time there has been a release about every 2 weeks, on average. The current release is labeled beta, but there are ongoing backups of production servers from 2010 - over 2000 daily versions. HB is being used for large production backups, often to handle offsite backup requirements in addition to an existing onsite backup. The largest reported single backup by disk space (for the initial backup) is 18TB, with 26M files, at a research lab. Other large reported backups are 25M files / 1.5TB for a large imap server and 27TB of 1.5TB VM image backups that uses less than 1TB of backup space after dedup.
Beta releases expire on a fixed quarterly schedule, on the 15th of January, April, July, and October.
Backup is the only feature that expires, so any data backed up with HashBackup can be tested and restored later, even with an expired version of the program.
See the
hb upgrade
command for ways to automate updates.
License
HB will have a commercial license, probably with a 30-day free trial and an annual fee that includes support and upgrades. Pricing isn't finalized. The reason for an annual license vs a one-time license is simple: if there are only a few hundred licensees, an annual fee makes it possible to continue supporting a small customer base. Companies that sell one-time licenses usually have huge customer bases, make their money on support, or upgrades cost extra. HB is not likely to have a huge customer base, so a one-time fee isn't sustainable.
Users with large backups receive more value from HashBackup than users with small backups, so the license fee will probably be related to backup capacity. A simple price model would be to add up the original file size of all the files stored in the backup and round up to the nearest TB. This has a couple of advantages: 1) it's very easy for customers to estimate license costs without having to guess or figure out how much HashBackup can dedup and/or compress their data: a quick estimate can be made with the df -k command; 2) it aligns HashBackup LLC and users' interest. What that means is this: if HB had a technology that could reduce 1TB of backup space into 1 byte, then pricing by the amount of backup space used would save customers a lot of money on storage costs, but HashBackup LLC's license fees would be reduced to pennies. License sizing using the original file size means that any whiz-bang technology in HB still benefits customers by lowering storage costs without penalizing HashBackup LLC's license income.
"What if I don't need support? How about a one-time fee with no support or upgrades?"
While some customers may be fine with a single release and no upgrades, or buying the product without support, this causes long-term customer relation issues. If a problem with the software occurs, or a question comes up and a customer needs advice or help, it's much harder to provide tech support for a 3 year-old version of the program. And if the customer didn't purchase support, it's difficult to say "Sorry, you'll have to pay to get your question answered." It leads to hard feelings all around. It's better to have a smaller customer base with happy customers.
It's true, not everyone needs the features of HB or can justify a license fee, especially for smallish backups. Some backup companies with huge user bases provide backup for $5/month. But this pricing only works for crazy numbers of users, and realistically, HB will never have that. For small backups, there probably will be a free version of HB with limits.
"What about giving away the program and charging for support?"
The ideal for HashBackup is that it is easy enough to use that support isn't required, users don't run into problems, and there are no bugs. The more success toward that goal, the less likely customers will need support contracts. Realistically, no one is going to pay for support contracts that aren't used regularly.
"Will there be a cheaper plan for personal backups?"
I'd love to give away free versions of HashBackup for personal backups. The hard part is that with cheap disk drives and high resolution phone cameras, a personal backup may consist of a terabyte or more of backup data just for photos and videos. This makes it hard to distinguish between a personal and commercial backup. One idea is to limit the frequency of large personal backups to once every 3 months for a free version. Considering that most people have
no
personal backup, a 3-month old backup seems not so bad, and a backup every 3 months would not be acceptable for businesses.
How is Development Funded?
I sold an Internet business in 2005, have income from other projects, and fortunately, am okay financially.
Making money is nice but it comes with a lot of hassles, and right now I'd rather focus on the technical aspects of creating a great backup program.
An ideal situation would be for the large online storage companies to sponsor HashBackup so I could work on development rather than all the business stuff, and users would have a great, free backup program. My idea is that for a free version, backup data would have to be sent to at least one HashBackup sponsor.
Source
"Where is the source?"
One design goal of HashBackup is that users own and control their backup data.
T
he HashBackup, LLC company is not a critical resource for daily backups and restores. HB sends your backup data from the source directly to your own servers, or to companies you have chosen that are dedicated to providing online storage as a business.
Some backup companies do open source their backup programs. They are able to do that because they manage a server operation and control your backup data. Their license enforcement is easy: if you don't pay, your backup data is deleted. Since the HB program itself is the only thing being licensed and backup space is not being sold, it isn't feasible to release the source because there would be no way to enforce a license.
Bug List
"Is there an online bug list?"
Bug lists often provide a comfortable home to bugs for many months or years. But most customers would prefer that bugs are squashed rather than taking up residence on a bug list, so HashBackup works a different way: when a bug is reported, it's fixed, described it in the Changelog, released, and a reply is sent asking the customer to do an hb upgrade. If it's a difficult bug, and most aren't, an update may be sent directly to a customer asking them to verify that the problem is fixed before doing a release.
Bug reports and correcting bugs take priority over new development, so n
ot having a bug list also acts as a self-regulating mechanism to balance development and stability.
If you have any other questions, suggestions, or concerns you'd like to discuss,
send an email
! It's always helpful to get feedback about HashBackup.

PAHOA, Hawaii Island (HawaiiNewsNow) - A lightning strike is being blamed for a power outage at the Puna Geothermal Ventures plant that resulted in a small amount of hydrogen sulfide gas being released.
According to a PGV spokesperson, lightning shut down power, which then caused the release of the gas Tuesday afternoon. Fire crews responded to the plant at about 2 p.m. after a nearby resident reported smelling the tell-tale "rotten egg" odor of the gas. Authorities determined that the amount of gas released was well below levels that would prompt an evacuation.
Meantime, William Hodson, a retired Hawaii County Police officer, was out doing errands, despite the weather.
"It's the lightning. It's crazy," Hodson said. "It started from this morning and it never stopped. The sun never came out. And the thunder was constant, from the very beginning of the morning. Just constant thunder."
When Hodson returned to his home in the Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision just northwest of Pahoa, he noticed that the power line to his house was down.
"I went into the house and noticed all my picture frames down and shattered glass all over the place, and at first I thought it was like a burglary or something," he said.
But instead of a burglar, it was a bolt of lightning. It's believed it traveled through the house, hitting the roof and exiting through his eldest son's bedroom.
"My son's room is in the back of the house. It blew out of the wall, so all the drywall it out, and you can actually see out from his room," Hodson said, pointing to an area of the wall that the bolt had blasted through.
Hodson also pointed out a shattered sliding glass door. Outside, there was another shattered window, and debris from electrical wiring in the yard. Hodson said most of his electrical system was fried by the lightning.
"My electrical cords just disintegrated, my meter box just burned out," he said. "It's just gone. it just blew out."
Hodson said there was no one home at the time. That's especially lucky, since his son would have been in his bedroom, where the lightning exited
"He had five open heart surgeries, and last week he wasn't feeling good, so if he actually was there, who knows what actually would've happened," Hodson said. | http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/15994031/lightning-hits-puna-geothermal-nearby-home/ | 2018-10-15T18:10:33 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

AC auditors lauded for recovering hundreds of millions in overpayments
WASHINGTON – The Obama administration announced today it met its goal of recapturing $2 billion in overpayments to contractors by the end of this fiscal year nearly six months ahead of time.
A press release states that this is "due in large part" to the Medicare Fee-for-Service Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) program, with hundreds of millions of dollars in recoveries.
In a further effort to reduce wasteful spending, the Obama administration today launched a Do Not Pay portal at the Department of the Treasury that is intended to bring together multiple government databases into one checkpoint. The online tool will deploy advanced data matching and analytics to identify and stop wasteful errors before they happen, according to the press release.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a memorandum today to all agencies directing them to use the new Do Not Pay tool. It is expected that by the spring of next year, every major government agency will be using it.
"We are committed to continuing an aggressive campaign to stop misdirected and erroneous payments that represent an unacceptable waste of these tax dollars," stated Jeffrey Zients, acting director of the OMB. "We are at a real turning point in this fight and the Do Not Pay tool will allow us to stop more of these payments before they occur.” | http://www.hmenews.com/article/ac-auditors-lauded-recovering-hundreds-millions-overpayments | 2018-10-15T17:07:16 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
After his controversial handling of last Saturday's All-Ireland SFC qualifier between Tyrone and Meath, Paddy Neilan has been appointed to referee the round 2 clash between Offaly and Clare on Sunday week.
The Roscommon official was escorted off the Pairc Tailteann pitch by gardai with a chorus of boos from the Meath supporters and criticism from their manager Andy McEntee ringing in his ears following the Royal County's minimum margin extra-time defeat.
He will be hoping his performance goes largely unnoticed when the Faithful and Banner Counties collide on Sunday, June 24.

The world is full of brands. For a single product that you require, there would be thousands of brands offering that particular object. This leads to an increase in competition among the brands, which cause these companies in manufacturing quality products at a nominal price, so that they can attract maximum number of customers! This competition gets even tougher when it comes to televisions. Often abbreviated as TV, brands like Samsung, Panasonic, Onida, Toshiba etc. lead the present markets. The variation in the market trends lead to incrementing the product quality and style.
No matter how much guarantee you get, you will have to undergo the procedure of getting your TV repaired after a particular span of time. Despite selling at least possible price, TV manufacturers still have to earn some profit, which they earn from repairing. It is a common marketing practice followed by many companies that is to install a not so good quality part inside the TV, which might get refurbishing after a particular time. They do this so that people can get their TV’s repaired, and they could get another platform to earn profits.
One can surely consult a professional for repairing his TV in case of any problem, but a better option is to make sure that the TV is free from the most common TV concerns, which can be repaired at home!
- Dust is an arch enemy of all the microcontrollers. It is commonly observed that dust gets stuck up on the surface of these microcontrollers inside the TV. This usually happens because TV’s are not opened much, and the vents that act as exhaust of heat cause the dust to enter into the system. This dust sticks to the controller surface and can cause disruption in the clear view of TV. This can be prevented by using your vacuum cleaner, setting it at least power and using it to remove the dust.
- Snowy and Hazy Television pictures are one of the most annoying problems that can be observed in a television. The most common reason of this problem getting stuck to your TV sets is the magnetisation of the screen. This is an outcome of a magnet coming in contact with the TV screen. There are two ways to de-magnetise your TV set and bring it to its initial setting.
- Many TV sets that are manufactured nowadays have a pre-installed option of “degaussing”. This is one of the most helpful properties of a TV set which enables the demagnetisation of TV sets. All you have to do is run this feature, after which, you TV screen will blink for a split second and look like it is vibrating. This would be a sign that all the magnetised colours are getting removed. After a few seconds, the screen would be normal as it was when you bought your TV set.
- If your TV doesn’t support the “degaussing” feature, you can buy a de-magnetising coil available in the market. You can get it from your TV supplier or any store. Using this de-magnetising coil is also very simple. All you have to do is start from the top corner of the TV and run the coil in circles till you reach the bottom end. This would remove all the snowy and haziness being caused in your TV set.
- If you are getting a fuzzy picture, and you still are using those old antennas, there is a high probability that you might be suffering from a problem of the signals getting blocked. In this case, all you have to do is climb up to your terrace where the antennae is installed and check if it is getting any sort of disruption. Also check the wires and cables and fix any breakage from the wire. The picture of your TV would get resolved.
- Cable TV’s are the most prevailing TV’s in the market. If you also use a cable TV and find a disruption or disturbance in the screen, it might not be a problem of the hardware. There might be some fiddling with the cable socket like the cable plug getting removed from the port again and again causing an incomplete circuit. Other such problems may include breakage of cable wire, which can also cause disruption. In this scenario, you need not call your TV contractor for fixing the problem. It would be better to call your cable operator who would provide a rectification of the problem.
If we keep in mind, the above mentioned steps, we might save a lot of money that we were prone to spend on some TV mechanic. This might have led to you going through all that trouble and the problem could be solved just by adjusting the simple settings. So it is always advised to check your TV yourself before taking it to an expert or calling an expert, especially if TV technicians are as expensive as in cities like Oshawa and Scarborough. | http://www.holdcroftelectronics.com/blog/four-common-tv-repair-concerns/ | 2018-10-15T17:19:46 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
While it was lacking in quality, it is impossible to deny that last season was one of the most entertaining in years, culminating in one of the greatest moments since its inception. So what was the response from England’s top tier of clubs? To do away with the entertainment and keep the lack of quality. A thoroughly mediocre Manchester United sealed their title with plenty of time to spare and a relegation battle shaping up to include the entirety of the lower half of the league was wrapped up a game early. All that was left on the final day of the season was the race for the final Champions League spot, so Arsenal and Tottenham served us up performances that had us all eagerly anticipating the 2012-13 season being over at last.
Player of the Season
One of the main debates of the season came from the success of Robin van Persie and Luis Suarez. As the pair surged ahead of everyone else in the league, whose performances were more impressive became a major talking point: Suarez was perhaps doing more despite being surrounded by lesser players, but Van Persie was more significant, leading his team to a Premier League title. The debate ended early however as Van Persie’s form took a dip that saw him go ten games without a goal.
Suarez celebrated his superiority by sinking his teeth into Branislav Ivanovic’s arm, earning him a ban long enough for everyone to notice Gareth Bale had been pretty handy. Nevertheless, although he was far more deserving of his PFA award this season than he had been the year before, Bale didn’t quite match Suarez or Van Persie’s high standards.
Young Player of the Season
After years of selling the decent squad they had accumulated under Martin O’Neill and doing a shoddy job of replacing them on a budget, Aston Villa fell into a relegation battle that they narrowly escaped from last year. Failure to learn from these mistakes put new manager Paul Lambert in a similar situation this year, however they did get part of their transfer dealings correct. Importing Belgian striker Christian Benteke from Genk was the difference between the drop and another year in the Premier League for the Birmingham club – the dynamic young forward’s 19 goals key to Villa’s survival.
Goal of the Season
Despite having the widest selection to choose from, the frequency of Robin van Persie‘s goals didn’t affect their quality. The best of the lot was probably his stunning volleyed finish from Wayne Rooney’s inch-perfect pass against Aston Villa.
Manager of the Season
The announcement of his retirement and the league win makes Sir Alex Ferguson the obvious choice, but it seems odd for it to go to him when he failed to address the problems in his side that left them second best the year before, even if they finished first this year, and mainly relied on Van Persie choosing United over City to claim the trophy. There isn’t really much other choice though: Rafa Benitez fought the odds at Chelsea but only really managed what was expected of him in the league despite success in Europe, Andre Villas-Boas set up a good Tottenham side but ultimately didn’t meet expectations, David Moyes impressed initially at Everton but faded away as the season went on, while Michael Laudrup and Steve Clarke did the same more spectacularly.
With no real worthy candidates, it’s worth giving a shout out to Chris Hughton. Norwich may have been dragged back into the relegation battle after a poor run, but the fact they had looked safe in the first place is impressive: Hughton took a mostly Championship-tier squad to a respectable 11th place after a tricky start.
Disappointment of the Season
With so much to choose from, it seems fair that everything gets this dubious honour. In an agonising race to the bottom, half of the league deserved to get relegated but only three clubs managed it, and those above them weren’t that much better. At least things can only improve. Please.
Team of the Season
Honourable mentions: Julio Cesar, Sebastien Bassong, Phillippe Coutinho, Michu, Romelu Lukaku
3 thoughts on “Premier League 2012/13 awards”
Good team of the season. Though I would make a few changes: westham finishing midtable was a lot to do with jussi in goal, ferninand was fantastic for united and really organised his defense well, Dembele was the key to getting the best out of bale and cazorla ensured arsenal qualified for the cl with brilliant creativity. Would lose lloris, nastasic, Benteke and one of suarez/rvp
I like Benteke but there’s no way you could have him, RVP and Suarez in the same lineup.
Where’s Cazorla? 12 goals and 11 assists says that he at least makes the bench. Mertesacker too deserves a bench spot – Arsenal had the second-best defence in the league, and the big German was the main reason. | http://www.holdingmidfield.com/premier-league-201213-awards/ | 2018-10-15T16:52:49 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

In Loving Memory of Claudia J. Hanson
Claudia was born in Medford, Oregon, on February 23, 1944, to Myrna and Cecil Owen. She grew up in Medford, moved to Portland, and for the past twenty-four years lived in Vancouver, Washington. She had an older brother, Dennis, and two younger brothers, Eldon and Darrell. Claudia had rheumatic fever twice as a child. The challenges of youth formed her into a woman of incredible emotional strength and stamina.
Claudia gave her heart to the Lord as a young child and later, in the ninth grade, recommitted her life to God. She placed Christ at the center of her life; seeking guidance in the day-to-day decisions that lay ahead. “As I was making deep consecrations to the Lord, I had no idea what the future held. I felt sure, though, that if my hand was in His, all would be well.” Little did she know how often her confidence in the Lord would be tested.
She met and fell in love with Naim Teeny, a native of Zahlé, Lebanon. They were married for six years and had two children: Mike and Michelle. When Naim died in a tragic car accident, Claudia was only 24. To support her family, she entered the workforce and attended college at night studying accounting. She was hired by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Portland, Oregon, in 1974. In her twenty-two years at the Corps, Claudia worked her way up from an accounting position to become the Executive Assistant to the Portland District Commander. In 1979, she was honored as “Employee of the Year.”
In 1982, Claudia met Neal Hanson who also worked at the Corps. Neal, a father of seven children, had been widowed earlier. A friendship developed between them which eventually grew into love. She introduced Neal to her faith and church family. Neal committed his life to Christ and they were married a year and a half later. Her family of two children, expanded by seven, and in order the nine children are Paul, Anne, Peter, Matt, Mary, Holly, Mike, Maggie, and Michelle. Through Neal and family, she was exposed to a wide range of new experiences including, downhill skiing, pickle ball, kayaking, water skiing, sail boarding and many other activities. She has skied down from the top of most of the Northwest mountains. She spent much of her summers enjoying Puget Sound activities in Bremerton.
Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, Claudia fought it with strong determination; undergoing both chemotherapy and radiation. Maintenance medication prevented the spread of cancer until it returned in 2016. She again fought with dignity and all her strength but lost the battle on March 24, 2018.
Living life with a servant’s heart, Claudia touched lives with a gentle and quiet spirit. Her ministry spanned decades as she served faithfully in the orchestra, choir, and various instrumental ensembles in the church and the community. Playing the cello shared space in her heart with teaching the women’s Sunday School class for many years; her passion for both endeavors was unmistakable. She spent countless hours preparing for church classes and women’s conferences. The ensuing friendships developed through these events were remarkable and very valuable to her. She consistently placed others ahead of herself, having a compassion for others that was unequaled.
Claudia passed away, at home, in Vancouver on Saturday, March 24th. She is survived by Neal, her husband of 34 years, 3 brothers, 9 children and their spouses, 23 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren, and countless friends.
Memorial Services will be held on Monday, April 9th at 11:00 am; Apostolic Faith Church, 5601 SE Duke Street, Portland, Oregon, 97206.
In lieu of flowers, remembrances can be made to:
Apostolic Faith Music Lesson Scholarship Fund

Joshua Nardone might look into some books on archaeology with his new Kindle.
While digging in the dirt in back of his house one day in September, Joshua, 11, made a cool discovery: a jar with clippings of 1970s magazine ads — and $300 in bills and coins.
He writes about it below — a condition given by his dad, Joe Nardone, if Joshua was to keep his trove.
Joshua doubled the value of at least one of his newfound bills. He purchased a Kindle and had funds left over for saving but he also invested in a book on vintage currency values, and found that a “Star” series 20-dollar bill in the jar is worth double that.
(Also inside, a page from a 1972 Reader’s Digest, on the topic of “impact aid.” )
Joe Nardone said the cut-out furniture ad suggests someone was saving up for a sofa — $269.95 for a “Cozy Colonial” — but how the jar came to buried in a couple of feet of dirt in their backyard is a mystery, as their West Ridge house was built nearly 30 years later.
Joshua said he had dug around in the area about 25 times, but this time he excavated in a new spot. After about five minutes’ digging, he hit something he could tell was not a rock
“In a way I think it was left for someone to find, but I’m not sure they would do that. Three-hundred dollars was worth a lot of money then.”
— Kirby Neumann-Rea
BY JOSHUA NARDONE
I found something really amazing. After lunch early today, I told my dad, “I’m going to go outside.”
I went to my usual spot that I go to when I am bored, “The Cave.” I was breaking rocks to make the cave bigger. Then I thought, why am I making this cave bigger? I should look for another spot to dig. I was digging in a spot where there were really loose rocks.
I started pulling them out because they were so loose. I saw something in the rocks so I pulled it out and it was a jar with another smaller jar inside it.
I ran up to the house and almost fell on the way up. I told my uncle and aunt, who were visiting, and my dad and mom. They all said to go outside and open it. Inside were newspaper clippings, pictures of furniture from magazines and . . . MONEY!? I went into the house and shouted “I found money!” My uncle said “How much?” I said “A lot.” My dad went over to the jar and found more money. There was a total of $300. My dad found a date that was written on one of the clippings it was from 1976. I think I will go back and see what else I might. | http://www.hoodrivernews.com/news/2013/oct/26/hidden-treasure-backyard/ | 2018-10-15T16:40:30 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

My wife surprised our children by bringing home a puppy as our family pet. You mentioned that puppy socialization has been found to be critical to the psychological health of adult dogs. Do most dog training classes have multiple dogs for them to be around? Finding a professional to help train our new puppy might be our best option.

My wife and I just recently adopted a dog, and I was thinking about getting him some obedience classes. It’s interesting that it actually will change the behavior of the dog! Since ours is pretty hyper, it might be nice for him to be a little calmer.

My family and I have recently adopted a puppy. It’s a Siberian husky, and she loves to run around and play. I didn’t realize how important socialization is to the psychological development of puppies and dogs.

University of Toronto
The Itsy (Version 2) Pocket Computer
and the
Importance of Energy Conservation
About the talk:
Ubiquitous computing assumes that computers will become
sufficiently prevalent that they will become invisible by
their constant presence. Although this future has not yet
arrived, the emergence of pocket computers has introduced
systems designers to some of the new challenges that this
future is likely to pose. In particular, in addition to
traditional metrics of performance, system designs must also
be evaluated with regard to new metrics, with energy usage
and user interfaces foremost among these.
In this talk, through my discussion of two on-going
projects at WRL, I hope to convince you that design
decisions appropriate for desktop computers must be
re-examined in the context of pocket computers.
I will begin by describing the system and software
architecture of the Itsy Pocket Computer, a state-of-the-art
pocket computer. The Itsy Pocket Computer is a small,
handheld computer based on the fast, low-powered, StrongARM
SA-1100 microprocessor. It is designed to be an flexible
platform for research projects ranging from OS power
management to novel gesture and speech-based user
interfaces. The current prototype runs at 200MHz on a Li-ion
battery, and sports a tiny, high-resolution LCD with
touchscreen, an audio codec, and up to 128MB of flash and
128 MB of DRAM. It runs Linux and offers several development
environments including Java.
I will then discuss how the power usage of this pocket
computer differs from that of laptop computers, and how
decisions made in the design of flexible software
environments, such as Java, affect the power consumed.
Understanding such decisions is a necessary first step in
designing software environments for pocket computers, and
strategies to manage their resources.
Acknowledgments
The Itsy Project is a joint project of the Western
Research Lab and the Systems Research Center, with
contributions from Compaq's Software Engineering Australia
group, and various summer interns and visiting researchers.
The work on quantifying the energy consumption of the Itsy
Pocket Computer was done in collaboration with Jennifer
Anderson, Godmar Back, Jason Flinn, and Dirk Grunwald.

Alabama Jeff Sessions Worries About The Supercommittee Deal
HH: Joined now by United States Senator Jeff Sessions of the great state of Alabama. Senator, I hope you have a great Thanksgiving next week.
JS: Thank you, I’m looking forward to it.
HH: I want to talk to you about this Supercommittee. I know that your colleague, Pat Toomey, is a friend, but I just hate this deal that he put forward. What do you think about it? And what’s its status right now?
JS: Well, what I’m hearing is that Pat’s proposal did offer revenue increases, but also had a lot of tax reform and things in it, but the Democrats just walked away. They said that’s not nearly enough revenue increase, tax increases, and basically ended the discussions. I’m not sure that they’ve had very much discussion since, frankly. Hopefully, they can produce something. Monday night is the night they’re supposed to produce a document that lays out their plan to reduce spending over a decade, ten years, by about $1.2 trillion dollars. Now we’re going to grow spending every year for ten years under this plan. And we’ll spend $45 trillion dollars. This committee’s asked to reduce that growth level, total $45 trillion, to $44 [trillion], I guess, which is a 2% reduction in spending. And that’s not a cut in spending. As I said, it’s just a reduction by 2% of the projected growth in spending. This is not too much to ask. And plainly, Hugh, it’s not nearly enough to put our country on a sound basis, because the deficits will still be humongous.
HH: It’s not nearly enough in terms of spending cuts, but it’s way too much in terms of tax hikes. I’ve been doing this all week, Senator, and I would say it’s 7, 8, 9, maybe even 10 to 1 against monkeying with the home mortgage interest deduction, the charitable deduction, and the deduction for state and local taxes. It will slaughter a lot of people. Now I know Senator Toomey says no, it won’t hurt anyone, if you’re a two income family, and you’re under $212,000, nothing changes. People don’t believe it, and they’ve built their lives around these deductions. I think it’s a shattering thing for the Republicans to touch this.
JS: I take very seriously what you’ve just said. I do. I take that very seriously, and my view is I’m absolutely certain that we do not have to raise taxes. And I think the American people are absolutely correct to say don’t you ask us for more money until you take care of the money we are already giving you. I call it the Solyndra rule.
HH: (laughing)
JS: Don’t keep wasting my money while asking for more.
HH: That…I mean, if you’re still funding NPR, and you’re trying to raise revenue, I don’t get it, Senator. But I think we’re on the same page.
JS: I’m really worried about it. So this thing, we’ve wasted all year, Hugh. The Democrats, let me just frame the situation.
HH: Okay.
JS: The Republican House honestly produced a courageous, historic budget that would have altered the debt course in America, and put us on a sound path. Not enough, but it was a real big change. The Democrats refused to even bring up a budget in the Senate. We’ve now gone 933 days without a budget. The President’s budget was the most irresponsible budget in history. It had big increases in taxes, even more increases in spending, making the debt larger than if he had done nothing over ten years. Interest payment last year was $240 billion dollars on our total debt. You know, it hit $15 trillion just recently.
HH: Yup, this week.
JS: The interest payment in ten years, according to the Congressional Budget Office, of President Obama’s budget, would in one year would be $940 billion. So this is where you get in a Greece-like situation. If your interest rates were to surge unexpectedly, as has happened in Italy right now, it’s up to 7%, came quickly. A great country even like the United States can be severely damaged. We’ve got to reduce spending. That’s the number one thing we have to do.
HH: Now if the sequestration happens, I just taped an interview last hour with Governor Romney, and he said if he’s the nominee, he’ll campaign to reverse that $600 billion dollar cut, and indeed the cuts that have already occurred. I think that’s a take-it-to-the-people kind of campaign that the Republicans and the conservatives win, Senator Sessions. What do you think?
JS: I agree. I mean, we cannot allow the sequestration, which hammers the Defense Department. Former Secretary Gates said just a couple of days ago that this secret committee process was a complete abdication of the responsibility of Congress. It’s put a sword of Damocles over the military, and would be a catastrophe for our defense if it were to be implemented. And that’s correct, because we would never vote to cut the Defense Department six times what we are cutting other programs by. But this is the way this automatic sequester would play out if the committee does not reach an agreement.
HH: So if in fact you and I both believe the country would rise up and punish anyone who sustained or accommodated, or even endorsed this sequestration, it’s not really something to be afraid of, is it, as the debt…you wouldn’t take a bad deal from the supercommittee, would you, Senator Session, in order to avoid that sequestration?
JS: Hugh, you always raise good questions. That’s something I’ve thought about, and shared in a luncheon with some of my Republican colleagues just a few days ago. I don’t believe this will stick. We cannot assume that if we don’t vote for a bad bill that this Defense Department is going to be hurt this badly, because I believe if we fight and take it to the American people, they would help us. As a matter of fact, Lindsey Graham has suggested that, and already drafting, I think, legislation that would reduce spending across the board in lieu of just hammering the Defense Department. So we don’t need to be intimidated by that, in my opinion.
HH: All right, in terms of going forward, I know you’ve got some of the best minds on that committee in Rob Portman and Pat Toomey, and of course your long time friend and colleague, Senator Kyl. But at what point do you just say this was the worst idea we ever had, and you can’t make it work, and we’re just, we’re going to go forward and try and fix it? When do you give up, because they’ll try and play this out longer. The Democrats will try and play this out and get tax hikes until Christmas.
JS: Well, it’s next week. If they don’t reach an agreement next week, the sequester takes place, as I understand it. And actually, Monday night they’re supposed to honor the agreement, and produce a plan. The American public is supposed to be able to see it for two days with no opportunity to amend it, and then they vote on it, I guess, November 23rd, Wednesday, before Thanksgiving. That’s their plan, and then if it’s vote on, there’s no ability to amend it. It’s an up or down vote. It’s an abdication of Congressional responsibility. I’m one of the few people that had the perverseness to express my concern over this from the beginning.
HH: I’ve got to ask you…
JS: I’ve said it was irresponsible, I was afraid it wouldn’t work, it certainly diminishes the public right to know about matters involving trillions of their dollars.
HH: I’ve got to ask you, your old colleague from across the aisle, Robert Byrd, was a great believer in the prerogatives of the Senate. What do you think that Democrat would have thought of this deal?
JS: (laughing) I don’t believe Robert Byrd would like this, because this is a huge, major policy decision for the United States of America. It would come to the Senate, would have a limited number of hours of debate, nobody would be able to offer an amendment, it would only be an up or down vote, it diminishes the Senate dramatically. As a matter of fact, what the Senate should have done all year is to be talking about the greatest threat this nation faces, and it’s our debt. And we should have been talking to the American people about it. And you know, in the past, the Senate’s been a great place for a national debate to occur. And I thought it would have been a healthy thing for us to do that. Instead, we’ve had secret committee after secret committee.
HH: Last question, Senator Sessions, do you think the Republicans, the six, three from the House, three from the Senate, will all hang together? Or will one or two of them split off and provide the Democrats with a vote? Or do you have confidence that they’ll stick together?
JS: Well, it seems they’re sticking together on both sides right now, and sort of negotiating in blocs. And it may result that nothing occurs. I would hope that the Democrats and Republicans, I guess, together and sort of reach something that would take $1 trillion, could be $2 trillion, could be more. They have the ability to actually propose serious reforms on some of our more intractable problems. But it doesn’t look like that’s happening right now, frankly. I mean, we can always hope, but I think there is a growing pessimism around Capitol Hill.
HH: Well, if it involved clipping the home mortgage interest deduction, the charitable deduction, may it die a quick death. Senator Sessions, Happy Thanksgiving to you.

We are in the business of importing and the manufacture of chemicals, and it’s our second year visiting IGEM. We’re interested in looking for suppliers and products that would be a good fit with us. Products such as waste water treatment, water purification and air pollution is currently the trend in Indonesia. Being here also allows us to see the latest developments in green technology.
My colleague who visited IGEM last year informed me that this was a great and big event for green technologies where new innovative technology will be on display. We’re looking for green technologies and new solutions and we’d like to attract them to expand in Europe especially in the Czech Republic. I find that the business matchmaking sessions have been very well-organised, and it has allowed me to meet many quality prospects and I hope to bring some of these results back to my country.
I’m the sole agent in Egypt and the Middle East for a Malaysian company that produces biodegradable garbage bags. I’m looking for new products that will help to encourage hotels and residential properties in Egypt to start going green. Unfortunately there’s no green movement there now and I hope I can introduce the idea slowly.
We are here in IGEM to look for business matching opportunities to promote our products to EU countries to be used by their governments. We have met with the representative from the EU trade community and this will lead to further discussions with the relevant government representatives. | http://www.igem.com.my/2014/one-to-one-bizmatch-programme | 2018-10-15T16:54:54 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Sri Krishna Janmastami Celebrations 2006- Talk Delivered by Pujya.
Sri. K.C. Narayana
Sri Krishna Janmashtami-2006.
My dear associates in the Path, Pranam at the
holy feet of all the devotees of the Master.
1.
On this auspicious occasion of Sri
Krishna Jayanthi I try to share some of my
understanding on the thoughts of our beloved
Master Sri Ramchandraji Maharaj of Shahjahanpur
in connection with Lord Krishna. Since they
relates to changing the course of ones’ life I
thought it is relevant on this occasion.
2.
In the article “SPIRITUAL
TRAINING THROUGH YOGIC TRANSMISSION” he wrote that “By the grace of my master I
shall try to reveal a great secret, or a
mystery, which the people in general do not
know. It is a great wonder when a great
personality like Lord Krishna, Swami Vivekananda
or my master changes the entire course of a
man's life. How is this done?”
3.
“Some skeptics may say it is after all
due to the person who wanted to change himself,
and the master or Guru was the cause merely for
name's sake. If Lord Krishna had such power why
did he not change the heart of Duryodhana
instead of bringing about the battle of
Kurukshetra? They may also quote many stories
wherein somebody taking a worthless person or
even a lifeless object as a guide has become a
great saint. But this need not hinder us in
trying to find out the reality, because God's
ways are mysterious. Some are deluded by their
own thinking and some are illumined by Divine
Grace.”
4.
True, that some of us think that we
understand everything or are capable of
understanding with our intellectual endowment
everything. While this is good the avoidable
irrational corollary to this, that ‘what I do
not understand is not correct’ is not very
helpful in the search of Truth. As Master has
warned us we should not get deluded by our own
thinking which many times are based on partial
facts and fragments of truth. There can be many
points of view and it is obvious that the point
of view of the Centre is the best though it is
not that easy to have. Every sadhaka tries to go
near the Centre from his angle and as he
approaches the Centre his vision gets broadened.
5.
Master continues .”
6.
The inquiry that we are having into the
nature of real self or God or Master is not
something that we can restrict to the realm of
the intellect. In which case it will be partial
and the result would be partial truth or shall I
say partial untruth! We are surely part of the
divine and an integral part at that. But our
mind cannot be Masters’ mind unless we purge out
all the dross and dirt out of our system and
make it as pure as we can. It has been stressed
by Master many times that our conscience can be
pure only when our mind, manas, chit and ahankar
are purified. Perfection we know is an Utopian
goal but, near perfection is what we can strive
for. It is here we need the help of others to
purify ourselves and the relevance of Pranahuti.
For this we attend to purification of our system
assiduously practicing the methods given by the
Master.
7.
Master continues his message saying that
“Pranahuti is effected through the power of will
which is always effective. If a trainer in
spirituality exerts his will to mould the mind
of the trainee it will bring effective and
excellent results. Many swamijis, who start the
profession of Gurudom as soon as they put on the
ochre-coloured uniform, complain that although
their shishyas (disciples) listen to them with
interest, yet they remain as crooked as the tail
of a dog. The reason is obvious. Either the
swamiji does not exert his will or he has got no
power. The teachers prescribe many laborious and
brain-taxing practices and leave their disciples
to their own fate. Neither does the teacher know
the result of the methods nor does the disciple
care to use his discrimination. The result is
internal grossness, dullness of the intellect
and loss of freedom on the part of the
disciples, and corruption, degradation and moral
turpitude on the part of gurus, who are very
conscious of only their right to teach, but
quite unmindful of their duties and
responsibilities towards their disciples.”
8.
“The worthy trainer with the power of
yogic transmission weakens the lower tendencies
of the mind of the trainee, and sows the seed of
Divine light in the inner most core of the
abhyasi's.”
9.
Master in the same article states what
happens to spiritual training in some
organisations. “There is an organisation in this
part of the country which professes to impart
spirituality. It commands a pretty large
following, and people who join it seldom break
off even though some of them, to my personal
knowledge, are greatly disgusted and averse to
it. I find that they have adopted unspiritual
ways to keep the abhyasis bound fast not only by
inducements and allurements but even by fright
and threats. And when I study their inner
condition, I find not one of them having any
spiritual achievement, but they are only caught
up by some material force. You will find hardly
one amongst them who is nearer the mark in any
way. Whereas, in our sanstha, you will be happy
to note that none of the preceptors has even the
slightest touch of maya in all his
Transmissions. It is only the pure wave that
flows from him to the abhyasi. In my opinion
such pious methods must at all cost be adhered
to in order to promote piety and righteousness
all over. I pray for the making of such noble
personalities to work for the enlightenment of
the world, and time alone shall bring the
results to light. We must try heart and soul to
prepare such worthy souls as may be useful and
helpful to the future world. It matters little
if a few break off from us, because what they
have gained during their brief contact will
develop in the subsequent life, if not in this
one. Thus our labour is by no means wasted or
lost.”
10.
Kindly note the purpose of the system
given by the Master. He said “I pray for the
making of such noble personalities to work for
the enlightenment of the world and time alone
shall bring the result to light.” His system is
meant for transformation of the world in
contrast to that of Lord Krishna where
individuals’ realisation to his duty is said to
be the goal. It is useful to recall certain
fundamentals about the concept of God with
reference to the attitudes that get generated in
us.
11.
When we view the Master in first person
we get one who is a granter of our wishes and
the pinnacle experience in such cases can be
Aham Brahmasmi.
12.
When we view Master in second person
“Thou” we move into the realm of devotion and
surrender.
13.
When we view the Master in third person
“IT” or ‘Tam’ we get a special personality who
is working out the transformation of human
consciousness in which we have a part to play so
that we live in an enlightened world.
14.
Lord Krishna in his Bhagavad Gita
explained the intricacies of Yoga of different
types adding the Bhakti aspect also in Yoga.
Different types of yoga that do not have
surrender to a Master as an integral element of
the system lead to what is termed as self
realisation. It is the common perception that
yoga sadhana leads to Advaitaanubhuti or to the
awareness of Aham Brahmasmi. It is held by many
scholars that yoga as taught by Sage Patanjali
is nir-Iswara or without God. There are many
hold the opinion that Iswara Pranidhana is part
and parcel of Patanjali Yoga. But in any Yoga
where God is not in the picture the pinnacle
experience can only be Aham Brahmasmi. In such
an experience the question of surrender is not
possible. Lord Krishna was emphatic in stating
that without the surrender to God no real
progress in the path of realisation which leads
to active participation in the divine plan is
possible. We should remember the purpose of
Lord Krishna in delivering the Gita is to
motivate Arjuna to fight the battle for the sake
of righteousness. It was not surely to make him
a saint. If one has to act and not get tainted
by the action there is only way of doing it
namely dedicating the entire actions to the
divine for the divine purpose and according to
divine will. This state of consciousness is
possible only through surrender and not the
methods of Ashtanga Yoga or other yogas bereft
of bhakti and surrender. Thus the Lord was
presenting Himself in the first and second
person aspects of God.
15.
Master even while giving the prayer for
all occasions starts with the words “Thou art”
and thus makes it clear that we should start
with the state of surrender to the Master so
that we reach His stage. His stage being TAM we
find the Master keeping before us the second
person and third person aspect of God. That is
why while he talks about surrender he gives a
definition of total surrender as surrender to
all that exists in the universe. It is no
surrender to any person or God that he talks but
surrender to the Infinite Being which expresses
itself every where.
16.
The transition from an orientation to the
second person God to the third person is not
that easy for the sadhaka. I seek your
indulgence to quote Dr.K.C.V. from his diary
"Thus I found myself made to abjure the old
theoretical ways of approach. I had to remake
myself in a new way. I had to take stock of my
whole past. All sectarian and caste conceptions
had to be rethought. Philosophies help bind
people to set notions. Thus I was to meet the
challenge of the New. It happened that I should
meet Shri Ramchandra ji.
17.
Firstly his views were clearly different
from my whole past..
18.
The concept of Invertendo shows how the
deformation of evolution is natural and the
power inherentatchitananda are not the Ultimate
Reality, they too being terms of knowing -
Sankara too gets transcended.
19.
The individual is continuous with the
Universal and the Ultimate, and is not
abolished. The Pralaya or mergence is cosmic and
supracosmic and then all are withdrawn into the
Ultimate. The individual ray of the Ultimate has
created for itself an organic organization of
physical-vital, mental and supramental centers
and organs. These may well be the knots which
have demarcated the several systems known as the
physical, vital, mental or the bonal, muscular,
circulatory, alimentary, hormonic,.
20. oneness with the Ultimate
and experience it in one's own physical, vital,
mental and supramental levels - called by Shri
Ramchandraji, the Pinda, Brahmanda, Para
Brahmanda and Central Regions working under the
direct force of the Centre".
21.
Shaping of the entire being or moulding
ourselves thus means a total integral and
holistic transformation in our way of living. We
are aware that during meditation we do go into
very deep states and some times we are at the
gross level. Broadly we may say that from the
ego centric awareness to ethnocentric awareness
is the normal mode of meditation of many of the
meditators. However we do seem to enter to
cosmic and pan cosmic or para cosmic levels of
consciousness. And surprisingly in almost all
the sincere meditations we do we enter into a
state of Tam or Total Ignorance as Rev. Master
calls it. This is the one imperience that impels
us to continue our meditation even as our Master
has stated in his Commentary on Ten
Commandments.
22.
If it were not so we will be facing the
problem stated by Lord Krishna in the XII
chapter of Gita sloka 5 which was translated by
Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan as “ The difficulty of
those whose thoughts are set on the Unmanifested
is greater, for the goal of the Unmanifested is
hard to reach by the embodied beings.” One of
the, if not the unique feature of this system of
Rev. Babuji is that such Unmanifest Tam is
within our reach during our life time. This is
one singular contribution of this system for
which humanity shall be indebted. It is this
awareness of the Tam that makes us live the
fraternity that has been spoken for over several
millennia.
23.
Prayers have been the time tested method
of reaching the Lord. That we should pray for
all in the Universe for the spiritual good is by
itself a great prayer no doubt. But that we can
will for such a change is the possibility the
imperience of Tam grants us and this has not
been heard of so far. The method of this prayer
which uses our will while stating that “all the
people of the world are my brothers and sisters
and that we are developing true love and
devotion” is no ordinary petitioning prayer. It
is an expression of a will and determination to
live according to the will of the Master.
24.
Lord Krishna appealed to Arjuna to act in
such a way as to discharge his duties as
enshrined in the sastras. He was talking of
Swadharma though that is done ineffectively is
more important than the para dharma even if done
effectively. Commentaries and criticisms of the
commentaries is not our concern. Master has
stated clearly that it is our primary duty to
realise our oneness with God. And this duty is
some thing universal which does not distinguish
between castes and races. When God is taken in
the third person perspective, this can only mean
that we should partake in the divinization of
man which is the real duty waiting to be done by
all of us. The third commandment is categorical
in stating that our duty or dharma is to achieve
oneness with God. A deeper understanding of this
commandment would enable us to understand that
we cannot have other goals like artha, dharma
and jnana. This is in contrast to Lord Krishna
accepting four categories of devotees. In this
context it is prudent for us to consider the
statements of the Master regarding what type of
prayer we may make. To quote him from his
commentary on the second Commandment “One should
pray to Him alone who is the Master in the true
sense. I donot think it proper to pray to the
slaves i.e., those powers which are subordinate
to man who are potentialised by him…. …It is
also sheer folly to pray to the great Master for
worldly gains except in most special cases.”
When this is well understood our clarity
regarding the goal gets established in our
hearts and we seek Oneness with Him.

RECOMMENDATIONS
If you are having gallstone then avoid having large meals. Try to take
plenty of fluids early in the morning, late at night and in between
meals.
DO YOU KNOW ?
The presence of gallstone
do not always produce symptoms. However when accompanied by inflammation
of the gallbladder, there may be severe pain. Generally, pain is felt
after ingestion of fat due to the contractions stimulated by cholecystokinin.
Foods to Avoid
Foods which precipitate or
aggravate symptoms should be avoided. The most likely foods to produce
intolerance are
Cholecystitis involves
the inflammation of the gall bladder usually due to a low grade chronic
infection. Such a infection affects the absorptive powers of the gall
bladder mucosa, in turn affecting the solubility ratios of the bile
ingredients. Thus, cholesterol may precipitate out causing gall stones
to form. Gallstone formation or cholethiasis may occur when along with cholesterol bipigments, bile salts, calcium and other substances
precipitate out of the bile.
Factors leading to
gallstone formation
The main aim of dietary
treatment is to reduce discomfort by providing a diet restricted in fat.
In acute cases, it is advisable to keep the gall bladder at rest and minimize
contractions. Thus fat is excluded from the diet.
A liquid diet, given as
hourly or two hourly feeds daily for a few days, would be beneficial.
When the condition settles down, clear soups. weak tea milk, refined
cereals may be added
Calories
The gallbladder
disease is more prevalent in communities consuming significantly more
calories. The minimum amount of calories to maintain normal bodyweight
is therefore advised.
Proteins
Higher protein
intake also increases biliary cholesterol concentration. A normal 60 to
80 grams of protein intake is permitted.
Fats
Since the fat is
the major cause of pain, the energy needs should mainly be met from
carbohydrates and not fat sources. The fat intake may be limited to 20
to 30 g per day and later increased to 40 to 45 g per day, thus
increasing the palatability of the diet. Control of fat also contributes
to fatloss.
For patients in whom fats do not produce symptoms, administration of
vegetable oils like olive oil and unhydrogenated ground nut or till oil
is recommended
Carbohydrates
Increased intake
of simple sugars in drinks and sweets is associated with gallstone
formation.
Fibre
Deficient fiber
intake is also considered as a cause of gallstone formation, but fiber
has been shown to have very little effect on cholesterol metabolism
Vitamins
If a low fat diet is prescribed, fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K
should be given as supplements | http://www.indiadiets.com/diets/therapeutic-diet-plans/gallstone.htm | 2018-10-15T16:38:43 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

STRENGTH WITHOUT CONFLICT
by Sean Hannon
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sean Hannon began his study of martial arts in the 1980s. He first earned his black belt in Okinawa Karate, began training Japanese Aikido in the 1990s in New Jersey, then continued his Aikido training with schools in Illinois, South Carolina, and Colorado. Sean has had the privilege of training in seminar with many high-ranking instructors from the United States, Japan, and other countries.
After a debilitating spinal injury in the mid-2000s that left him unable to walk for over a full year, Sean re-evaluated his priorities and decided that one of the things that made him most happy in life was practicing the art of Aikido. Since there was no Aikido program in his town of residence, he took it upon himself to create an Aikido school or 'Dojo' in Castle Rock, Colorado while he slowly rehabilitated his injury. Today, the school offers programs in multiple traditional, Japanese martial arts.
Order the Book!
Sean trains Iaido (pronounced 'ee'-'eye'-'doh'), the art of traditional Japanese sword-drawing, under Iwakabe, Monica Sensei and Iwakabe, Hideki Sensei. In 2013, Sean placed 1st for the Murakami Cup at the annual AUSKF national Iaido competition.
He also practices Kyudo, "the Way of the Bow" or Japanese archery, under Shibata, Kanjuro Sensei and his senior students in Boulder, Colorado. Shibata Sensei is a twentieth generation master bow maker, and he was a third generation official bow maker to the
Emperor of Japan and the Japanese Imperial Court until his retirement.
A long-term appreciation for the Japanese martial arts has since expanded into a broader appreciation for other elements of Japanese culture. Presently, Sean is learning to speak Japanese and has developed a strong appreciation for 17th - 18th century Japanese woodblock prints called 'Ukiyo-e'. Sean is an avid writer on the subjects of Aikido and classic Japanese martial arts philosophy; and how to apply such in contemporary society. His writings and philosophy have been published and cited in regional, national, and European newspapers, magazines, and professional trade journals.

Homebase and Argos report positive LFL sales in Q1
Home Retail Group, the UK’s leading home and general merchandise retailer, today publishes an Interim Management Statement covering the 13 weeks from 2 March to 31 May 2014.
The full publication can be found on our Articles pages ()
Argos:
Total sales at Argos grew by 4.8% to £868m. Although the store portfolio remained unchanged at 734, net closed space reduced sales by 0.1% in the quarter.
Like-for-like sales increased by 4.9% in the quarter. Growth was driven by a strong performance in seasonal products together with continued sales growth in electrical products, principally as a result of growth in video gaming and TVs, partially offset by a market driven decline in tablets. This combined growth more than offset small declines in the homewares, furniture and jewellery categories.
Internet sales grew in line with total company sales and represented 42% of total Argos sales. Within this, mobile commerce grew by 56% and represented 21% of total Argos sales.
The approximate 25 basis point gross margin decline was principally driven by an adverse
sales mix impact from the growth in margin dilutive electrical products.
Homebase:
Total sales at Homebase grew by 5.5% to £445m. Net closed space reduced sales by 2.4% in the quarter; there was a net reduction of one store, bringing the store portfolio to 322.
Like-for-like sales increased by 7.9% in the quarter driven by strong sales of seasonal
products, which represented around 40% of total sales in the quarter and which benefited from better weather conditions in comparison to the first quarter of the prior year. There was also growth in sales of big ticket products, while sales for the remaining categories were slightly lower overall.
The approximate 50 basis point gross margin decline was principally driven by an adverse sales mix impact from the growth in the margin dilutive seasonal and big ticket product categories.
John Walden, Chief Executive of Home Retail Group, commented:

Traveling in January? Here’s Where You Should Go!
Places to Travel in January
Are you looking forward to getting away from the winter chills this January? I was talking with my friend Oliver about some destinations. Well, here a couple of interesting places you could travel to.
Nicaragua
There is no better time to tour this Central American country than in January. Temperature is moderate, and there is barely any rain. Besides, wind speeds are low resulting in manageable waves which are perfect for amateur surfers. If you enjoy watching people surf, get spectacular views from Rancho Santana Resort.
Moreover, many intriguing religious festivals happen in January. You also get treated to magnificent virgin beaches, tropical rainforests and beautiful mountain ranges and cloud-capped volcanoes from a distance.
Dubai
How about substituting the winter chills with an exhilarating shopping experience. In a tradition that is over twenty years, January is designated a shopping month. It is characterized by exhibitions, in-store promotions, exclusive sales and many shopping festivals like the famed Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF).
You can get just about anything you need in this shopping paradise. Whether it is precious jewels like gold and silver, designer clothing lines, electronics, unique furniture, electronics, spices, name it, you will find it there.
As you shop, you can sample the world’s best shopping malls. And don’t leave the city without setting foot in the architectural wonder, Burj Khalifa.
Venice
If you fear crowds, the best time to experience Venice’s breathtaking attractions is in January. The crowds that packed the city during the Christmas and New Year festivities will have vanished back to their home cities. Besides, temperatures are perfectly cool.
Built on a group of 118 islands, the northeastern Italy city is a well-endowed tourist destination. Grand Canal, Rialto Bridge, Doge’s Palace, St. Mark’s Basilica, Torcello Island, Peggy Guggenheim Collection and Ca’ d’Oro, just to mention a few, are some of the awestriking sites you could visit.
Your January visit will be well timed to coincide with the Venice Carnival which starts on 27th of January and continues into February. Carnival traditions, boat parade and street food color the event.
Hawaii
A trip to Hawaii is bound to be a memorable one. The warm climate, lush coastal landscape, breathtaking beaches, active volcanoes, rainforests, among other natural scenery makes it the place to be.
It’s even better in January. Lesser crowds mean you can enjoy a calm and quiet walk on the pink sand of Makena. The helicopter ride across the erupting Kilauea Volcano will for sure be one of a lifetime.
If you are into golfing, travel early to Maui. PGA Sentry Tournament of Champions kicks off in the first week of January. You will be served to your fill with the best of golf.
Thailand
There is a good reason why travelers chose Thailand over other destinations for their January vacation. It’s fairly dry and offers perfect conditions for outdoor activities.
Talk of vibrant street life, that’s what you get from Thailand’s capital, Bangkok. Must-stops include floating markets, Wat Arun, Chao Phraya River and Waterways, Soi Cowboy and Khao San Road.
Out of the towns, you will experience some of the most amazing beaches and next to none hospitality industry: different cadre hotels and restaurants offering unique Thai cuisine.
Take advantage of the cheaper off-peak packages and less crowding and make your January get-away. | http://www.interactivetravel.org/best-places-travel-january/ | 2018-10-15T16:39:15 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Irakli Lataria told journalists about the fact that occurred in October last year. According to him, in October 2016 he was taken away from his home to the office of the Alliance of Patriots located at the Cinema House. Lataria says that Kenkabashvili, who, according to him, was an active police officer, asked him to leave the house. Kenkabashvili told him that he had his personal correspondence which included aggressive phrases about Davit Tarkhan-Mouravi , to which, Lataria replied that he had not done any such thing.
"He told me that one of his colleagues sent him photos of the texts, which were taken out of the context and would be perceived as a cursing. He told me that I had to kill myself or they would surely kill me, as they had done so such many things in the past," said Irakli Lataria.
According to him, he was then brought to the office of the Patriots Alliance, where Giorgi Lomia came and they started to beat him. Lataria also alleges that Kenkebashvili was beating him with a weapon.
As for why he had been hiding this fact, Lataria said he was afraid as he was threatened to be abducted or his wife to be injured.
Irakli Lataria received a legal consultation at the Georgian Young Lawyers Association. He is going to file a complaint against Lomaia and Kenkvhelashvili at the Chief Prosecutor's Office today. | http://www.interpressnews.ge/en/justice/88705-former-member-of-alliance-of-patriots-accuses-faction-chairman-of-abducting-beating-threatening-and-torturing-him.html?ar=A&rund=1539627208 | 2018-10-15T18:13:29 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

In its 13 November Oil Market Report, IEA has adjusted global oil demand growth for 2003 upwards by 0.17 mbd to 1.3 mbd and projected global oil demand growth for 2004 upwards by 0.02 mbd to 1.1 mbd. Not surprisingly China contributed almost 35% of oil demand growth this year and is projected to account for 30% of next year’s increase in oil demand.
In addition to positive growth signs from the US, the Japanese and European economies are also expanding faster than expected. While uncertainties still exist, however, indicators point to an acceleration of world economic growth. It is this trend that has led IEA to adjust its oil demand forecasts. Oil demand for 2003 is now set at 78.6 mbd and for 2004 at 79.6 mbd. If it weren’t for China, though, oil demand would have remained rather flat. However, questions on China’s robust economic growth must be asked. The Chinese economy will need to expand at a rapid pace if new jobs are to be created to absorb workers displaced from inefficient and defunct state enterprises and for China to position itself for full WTO entry. In addition, factors concerning the sustainability of China’s huge economic growth, and the environmental and social impacts of this growth, must be taken into account. Nevertheless, IEA estimates that Chinese oil demand will grow by 9% in 2003 and by 6% in 2004.
Compared to US, European and Japanese crude oil imports of 9.4 mbd, 12.5 mbd and 4.6 mbd respectively for 2003 to date, Chinese crude oil imports of about 1.6-1.7 mbd for 2003 are still relatively modest, although they have increased by 70% compared to 2001.
Looking at the quarterly oil demand development ahead, as seen in the graph below, IEA estimates the 4th quarter of 2003 at 80.6 mbd, up 1.4% over the same quarter in 2002. The first quarter next year is forecast to be almost as strong at 80 mbd, but will experience the usual seasonal fall to 77.5 mbd in the second quarter. Altogether oil demand for each quarter of 2004 is expected to be slightly above that for the corresponding quarter of 2003.
Based on the estimated growth in world oil demand and the announced increases in non-OPEC oil production, the “call” for OPEC crude oil for 2004 will be 0.8 mbd lower than for 2003 totalling 25.1 mbd on average for the year. The seasonal fall expected in the 2nd quarter of 2004 will be the largest for some time. The “call” on OPEC oil will be lower for every quarter of 2004 compared to that for 2003 except for the 4th quarter of 2004, when the “call” is estimated at 26.5 mbd, almost the same as for the 4th quarter of 2003.
If the trend for Opec oil movements is downwards, the trend for FSU movements is upwards. FSU seaborne exports in October were 0.29 mbd higher than for October 2002, virtually the whole increase being crude from the Baltic Sea. Seaborne product exports were slightly down compared to October 2002. So far in 2003 the FSU oil exports have amounted to 5.18 mbd, compared to 4.48 mbd in 2002 and 3.62 mbd in 2001. Since 2001 Black Sea exports have increased by 0.88 mbd and Baltic Sea oil exports by 0.68 mbd.

Monday, October 15, 2018 concern the industry and which still need to be resolved. One of the greatest concerns is the possibility of having to remove all trace of a TBT based coating after 2008 and so requiring the complete blasting of the hull. A favoured option and one which has been flagged by INTERTANKO is that of having the option to either blast or use a sealer coating to cover the banned tin based paint. This will be strongly argued for next week during the discussions. Other points highlighted by the industry paper include the need for a clear-cut entry into force criteria so that decisions regarding the coating of ships over the next 7 years are facilitated. Also, the banning of substances in the future must take into account the same time frame established for tin based systems, namely the five-year period between the non-application of the coat and the presence of the banned coat on the hull, as per the current system set out for TBT systems.
A full report on the outcome of the meeting will be given in next week's Weekly NEWS.
Contact: Tim Wilkins for further information on anti-fouling systems

“Weʼve decided to go with someone else.” <phone click> ” Translation: We donʼt want you.
Anyone who has ever been turned down for a job, understands how much those words sting. Itʼs a quick prick of pain followed by a stretch of numbness that never leaves. If I didnʼt know better, Iʼd swear those words were laced with Novocain.
Looking back, I think the reason it hurt so much had more to do with what rejection seemed to imply. Youʼre not good enough. We donʼt have faith in your coaching ability. Thereʼs someone better. For a guy who had given his life to the sport of basketball, it felt like a slap in the face.
In the next few weeks there would be other head coaches calling and a few job offers extended, but nothing could restore the confidence that had been breeched by a sport Iʼd sold out to. Every ounce of sweat, tear of defeat, and meaningful minute of each self-centered day. One sport (basketball) had my all.
But worst of all, I had placed this sport above Jesus.
It sounds hideous, I know, but why on earth would I need Jesus? I had made this sport my god, and I was its right hand man. The more I worked and centered my life around this false god, the greater success I experienced. The greater success I experienced, the further my ego was nurtured. And the further my ego was nurtured, the more sports became the perfect mechanism to exalt myself. Who doesnʼt want to be celebrated and told youʼre the best, right?
Then, in one phone call, the sport I had worshipped for so long spit me out. It hungered for the next big thing, and I was no longer it. I felt betrayed. Not by the coach who didnʼt hire me, but from a false idol that wouldnʼt support me.
So on that hot summer evening, after being told “weʼve decided to go with someone else”, I placed the phone on the kitchen table and quit the god I was worshipping, giving up an identity I had spent my entire life building.
I had actually accepted Christ as my Savior 20 months prior, but It would be the resolution made on this night which I would look back upon as one of the most pivotal decisions of my life.
In the coming months my life would change dramatically. I transitioned from a college basketball coach to a 7th grade middle school teacher with the extra duty of teaching 12-year old girls how to run motion offense after school. I went from front row seats in national tournaments games to working with distracted girls who were far more interested in the boys out in the hallway than zone defense. In what seemed like a blink of an eye, I walked away from packed arenas and traded them in for empty gymʼs filled with more giggles than cheers.
From a worldly perspective, it was humbling, even embarrassing at times. As difficult as this pill was for me to swallow, it was exactly what God cautions about in His word, “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.” (Proverbs 11:2, NIV)
At that time of my life, I didnʼt need anyone to read me that verse. I was living it. For most of my life pride had poured itself over every corner of my body, and now, I was reaping the consequence the Bible promised. It was painful, embarrassing, and confusing. From Godʼs perspective, however, there was no such confusion. He intentionally brought me to a season of life where I could feel my brokenness. He wanted my attention, and realized the only way to get it was to strip everything away.
Little did I know that Jesus was about to flip the whole process upside down.
In those 24 months, I had accepted Christ as my Savior, lost the coaching job of my dreams, and launched a Christian basketball camp called Cross Training. If God would have shown me the battle going on in the spiritual realm during those 20 months, I probably would have gone running for the hills. But He didnʼt. He did make visible, however, a vision for the camp program (Cross Training) I had just started. It was an exciting concept to create a sports ministry where I could use my skills as a coach to develop players physically, but more importantly spiritually. In those days, there werenʼt a lot of people in the business of combining sports and God, but I didnʼt care. I was hopelessly naive to the people saying “donʼt do it” and spiritually called by a God saying, “go for it!” I felt like Peter, standing on the edge of the boat:
“Lord, if itʼs you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” Jesus said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. (Matthew 14:28-29, NIV)
Sometimes I wonder if God just wanted to see if I would really trust him. Would I “come”, if He asked? Would I step out of my own boat of comfort and expect Him to be there? Could I ignore worldly logic and put my faith in a God that I believed was capable of producing “water-walking” moments in my own life?
In this season of my life I found myself both lonely and scared to death. I was still so weak and young in the faith that I possessed no strength to consider doing anything BIG for God. To me, the word “come” signified the desire on my heart to get close to Jesus. I had watched my life slowly spiral downward and now only craved refuge from the Savior in whom I had put my trust.
As my faith grew, the ministry of Cross Training expanded as well. What started as a small group of kids in a gym would grow to an army of athletes numbering in the thousands. There would be salvations, worship sessions, international mission trips, baptisms and a culture of ministry that felt like family. Our ministry was, and still is to this day, as imperfect as we are. But amidst that imperfection, I would watch in amazement as God was recruiting athletes to play for Him.
With each year of ministry, I became aware of a rather remarkable shift in my life. God had taken the sport I once worshipped and transformed it into a platform I now stood on to tell others about Him.
The Bible says, “For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” (Matthew 22:13) I had literally experienced both sides of this truth. In the pride of my life God had humbled me, and with the humility I was now genuinely trying to live out, God was lifting me up.
He had, in a very literal sense, flipped my world upside down.
The purpose of my coaching was no longer focused upon winning games, but winning souls. The competitive drive I once had for a sport was replaced with a ferocious appetite to reach people with the Gospel. A mind once addicted to a sport was now consumed by my Savior. If you stop and think about that for a moment, itʼs pretty remarkable. Sports ruled over me, and then God, in His sovereign authority, allowed me to stand upon sports. Not for my own glory, but for His.
My life in athletics had transitioned from passion, to pride, to purpose. God hadnʼt removed the game from my life, he was changing the game in my life. | http://www.iplay4him.com/index.php/page/2/ | 2018-10-15T17:08:14 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

A real peach!
>> Saturday, June 23, 2012 – fruit, vegetables
The tomatoes are starting to ripen! Oh, it's just a few here and there, and they are the smaller first fruits produced by the plants, but it's still exciting.
Especially since I have a few new varieties this year in my small veggie garden.
***
Did you know that there are more than 4,000 different tomato varieties? Or maybe it's 8,000... or 10,000. I can't remember the number I read, but believe me once you get into the thousands it doesn't really matter what numeral is prefixed -- you're never going to grow all of them.
This year I had access to a dozen or two different heirloom tomato seed varieties, and I pretty much just chose which ones to plant based on their names. 'Tangerine' and 'Garden Peach' both made the cut.
Once I planted them out in the garden, I lost or buried the small plant markers that were in their seedling pots, and I lost track of which of the two plants were which. I think I've identified them again though.
These are photos of a "regular" red tomato. It's not yellow or striped or "black" or giant or anything special, just a nice red tomato.
Here's what must be 'Garden Peach':
Can you see how fuzzy it is? It's quite fuzzy!
I imagine that many of these tomato varieties arise by accident (cross-pollination) in the garden -- I know that I always have "volunteer" tomato seedlings that I didn't plant popping up every year. I wonder how that conversation went...
"Honey look, a new type of tomato is growing in our garden!"
"Oooh, look how fuzzy it is! Let's eat it!"
"You read my mind -- there's nothing better than hairy fruits!"
I have to admit it's quite a pretty little tomato:
It's a bit pinker than it appears to be in this photo.
Small, though that's probably because it is the first of the fruits. I never remove the first blossoms when I plant my seedlings. I guess I should.
Unfortunately this plant appears to be in decline, as most of the leaves have withered and dropped. I don't know that I've ever had problems growing any tomatoes before, but I there are so many factors involved: first year I'm using manure, first time I've tried this variety, there's a HUGE tomato variety growing right in front of this one possibly blocking most of its sunlight.
I took some cuttings (I hate throwing away large tomato branches that I prune off) which have rooted in water, so hopefully I'll have another one of these plants soon, as I'd like to see if these fruits get any bigger.
Now to see how these little fuzzies taste!
.
Tomatoes? Already! We're at least four weeks from any hope of a tomato here in the Chicago area. We also chose our heirlooms by name - very scientific!
4000 varieties makes it very difficult to choose which ones to grow!

Chaos Magick
Magick is real.. An idea, a desire is placed in your head, you focus on it, confident that the results will be achieved. Lo and behold, it is achieved - that, my friends, is magick. The idea is alchemical, as above, so below says Thrice-Great Hermes. What is conceived on the mental plane is made real in the material, the mental plane of course is 'above' the material plane. One transmutates their thoughts into what we call reality. When I began my first steps into magick, I didn't realise the true power laid bare before me. I wanted something akin to Harry Potter, wave a wand and say some words and a bolt of lightning shoots out and makes what you want happen. Thats the lazy man's magick, that simply isn't what we are going to get. In fact I would go so far as to say magick is making yourself capable, and stronger day by day, removing that lazy streak. To be a magician, or a wizard - whatever you prefer - is hard work. Yes you can make a sigil with no experience and it will work. But growth is part of any system of magick. Meditation, focus, visualization, learning techniques - this will all make you a better practitioner and a better person. I couple magick with studies of gnosticism, my coach Brett's meditations, and also lots and lots of reading. Magick is a means of opening reality to new possibilities, it is science, it is spirituality, it is psychology, it is paranormal. It is the fantastical revelations of the All to humanity, that we are god, yes - cringe o christian reader - we are all god, when I say we, I mean - everything on earth, everything in space, everything - EVERYTHING - is god, source, all, cosmic consciousness. Which opens up a whole slew of meaning, if we are an expression of god, then we have (in an 'as above so below' way) lots of power that we don't really acknowledge, the ability to change reality, something which we do daily without realise it, with focused attention, emotions. How we do it is always up for the question. But it seems that humanity has the power to alter reality with emotion, somehow emotion is the key. I won't go into detail about sigils, but anyone interested should check out The Master Works of Chaos Magick Sigils do indeed seem to be an easy way to change reality. I will point you to the Reddit reading list, most books are free in ebook format but I recommend buying them on Kindle or Physically one by one. Start at the top and work down. Here it is I intend to go into actual detail as I learn more, magick is amazing, You can do it cheaply and easily, you can integrate it into your life just with a pack of Tarot Cards, or a kindle book and never have to don a robe, or wave a magic wand, or you can do both! Namaste. | http://www.iwanttobreakfree.co.uk/2018/08/chaos-magick.html | 2018-10-15T18:09:41 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

on November 15, 1971. It wasn't immediately available; in fact, it wasn't available to ordinary individuals until about 3 years later. I don't remember the exact date, but sometime in 1974 – about 41 years ago – I bought one of these magnificent parts. Mine looked just like the photo above, with a ceramic case and gold-plated (literally!) pins and lid. It was an expensive part when sold at retail – over $100, as I recall. At the same time, I bought a kit from some long-gone company. It was a bag of parts and a schematic; the entire kit had to be wire-wrapped. The schematic was the key bit. I had never designed anything like a microprocessor before, and having a schematic was mighty comforting. There was also a PROM (programmable read-only memory) with a small test program. I put the thing together in a single evening, staying up until quite late to do it. The “input” was a set of four toggle switches and a momentary push button; the “output” was four LEDs. I fired it up, and it worked – first try! Then I spent weeks understanding what I had built, and what it could do.
After exhausting the things I could do with a 4004 (they were ... not very powerful), I then built an 8008 kit, an 8080 kit, and finally tried my own hand at designing with a Z80 board, a Motorola 6800, a Mostek 6502, and even a Motorola 68000. Somewhere along the way I also built a bit-slice machine, 16 bits wide based on four AMD 2901s. The 4004 launched all that learning for me, and, in a significant way, launched my career.
Happy birthday, little 4004!
My first exposure to CPUS was also the 8080, Z80 and Motorola 68000...that was quite a few moons ago..... :) wayyyyyy before I knew who Intel was.
Hi, Dave! Yes, that certainly was a few moons ago :) I ended up doing more with Z80s than with any other processor, mostly because of CP/M compatibility and that great peripheral chip set they had, that made it so easy to use for embedded systems of any kind. Did you know that they still make the things? Check it out: | http://www.jamulblog.com/2015/11/intel-4004.html | 2018-10-15T17:39:04 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

As the California drought continues, the LARC Ranch officials are finding new ways to thrive.
LARC Ranch officials have began planning for this campaign, in which they are setting a goal to raise $3 million needed to connect LARC to municipal water supplies and end their exclusive reliance on well water, according to a LARC Ranch news release.
The LARC Ranch wells dried up earlier this year, forcing officials to look for other options to bring water to more than 100 residents of the ranch.
Ranch officials currently truck more than 11,000 gallons of water to the property every day, which will probably cost the nonprofit more than their expected $150,000 budget for the year, officials said Tuesday.
"We're kind of like a little engine that could -- we're gonna do it," said Kathleen Sturkey, executive director of LARC Ranch. "We need a viable solution for water for my people."
LARC Ranch, officially known as the Los Angeles Residential Community Foundationprovides residential and day programs for developmentally disabled adults on 65 acres in Saugus, about two miles north of Santa Clarita city limits.
"We met with the Santa Clarita Water District and decided how much the project would cost, if it's a viable solution and if it can be done," Sturkey said. "We have a proposal for them. the project would cost more than $2 million and getting the water down to the LARC Ranch (property) would be a little more money after that."
Sturkey estimates the project would cost about $3 million and is planning to create a capital campaign for the project this coming January. Several organizations have reached out and donated money to LARC Ranch for the project.
Recognizing the severity of LARC Ranch's water crisis, the foundation's President and Chief Executive Wallis Annenbergmade the decision to donate $500,000 to LARC Ranch to help keep the water flowing while we strive to create a permanent solution, according to the news release.
The ranch also received $341,000 from the California Water Resource Board Interim Emergency Drinking Water Fund to help truck in the water until the pipeline can be built, Sturkey said.
"The pipeline would benefit our people and we would not have to worry about running out of water. It could help people all the way down Bouquet Canyon," Sturkey said. "Others, such as the Gibbon Center, mobile home park, Lombardi's... could use the pipe if they buy into it and I hope they do, because that would help the price considerably." | http://www.jessicamboyer.com/jessicaboyerwritingportfolio/2014/9/26/larc-ranch-officials-raising-funds-for-water-pipeline-thu-09112014-1124am | 2018-10-15T17:44:56 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
But there's a problem: Dr Zoidberg, (quoting Wikipedia here) an ignorant, socially inept, disgusting, incompetent who lives in poverty (deep breath) AND speaks with a Yiddish accent, gets guilt from his parents, has a borscht-belt-comedian uncle... you get the point.
Just thinking that Zoidberg might be Jewish ruins the whole show for us. So what can we do about it? Jew or Not Jew powers... ACTIVATE!
Ok, first off, the show never outright defines Zoidberg as Jewish. That's good.
Second, Zoidberg is a kind of lobster/squid amalgam which means he's not Kosher. According to the Bear Corollary established by this website, a non-kosher creature is actually more likely to be Jewish since Jews do not consume each other. That's bad. (The Corollary is. The not eating each other thing is actually fairly beneficial.)
Zoidberg doesn't wear a yarmulke. Doesn't go to shul. Doesn't study Torah. Good, good and good.
Now, here's where our in-depth knowledge of xenozoology comes in handy; aka, watching Star Trek. Y'see, on Star Trek they encounter all sorts of "theme planets". There's the Greek planet, the Roman planet, the Native American planet, you get the point. None of the people on these planets are Greek, Roman or Cherokee, they just look and act that way.
The Enterprise has never visited a Jewish planet, but we must assume one exists and that's the planet Zoidberg is from (Decapod 10, for those of you planning a visit).
All of which brings us to the following happy conclusion (and not a moment too soon):
Verdict: Not a Jew.
