“At the exhibition booth, our team will present and explain all tools that the Bank provides to African countries under the program. We will also assist visitors to better understand the other tools we offer, and how they can be used to generate useful statistical data from African countries,” said Lawson Emessan Lawson, Officer in Charge of the Statistical Capacity Building Division at the AfDB.
The congress brings together more than 2,500 statisticians and members of the global statistical community who will present, discuss, promote and disseminate research and best practices in the field of statistics and how to apply it.
As one of the official sponsors of the Congress, the African Development Bank is funding the participation of 40 statisticians from its member countries.
The AfDB Team will also present topics in panel discussions, including the presentation on the African Information Highway (AIH), the role of SDMX in modernizing data reporting in Africa), the National strategy for the development of statistics, the International Comparison Program and a communication on Civil Registration and Labor statistics.
The African Information Highway was launched in 2012 and it currently serves as a supporting mechanism for its ongoing statistical capacity building program being implemented in its regional member countries.
The platform is installed in 54 Afrikan countries and 16 regional/sub regional organizations to facilitate data collection, management, dissemination and sharing.
Live data links have been established between the AfDB and national statistical offices, central banks, and line ministries on the one hand, and development partners, international organizations and other users, including the general public and the private sector, on the other.
Correct data about various countries in Afrika has been highlighted as one of the stumbling blocks to developing the continent to its full potential. The open data platform by the AfDB presents a unique opportunity for Afrikan countries to take the lead in implementation and promotion of international statistical standards across all countries in the region and in enhancing the quality of the data disseminated by Afrikan countries. | 2019-04-18T12:39:22 | https://www.iafrikan.com/2017/07/14/afdbs-regional-open-data-platform-takes-centre-stage-at-the-61th-world-statistics-congress/ |

Purdue has already hosted one Class of 2020 recruit, Ethan Morton, under newly expanded official visit guidelines. The full impact of the reform, however, will vary from player to player.
Players were previously limited to five official visits beginning Jan. 1 of their junior year.
They can now take five as juniors, five as seniors and five more in college.
Purdue hosted Butler Area guard Ethan Morton for an official visit on the Sept. 15 weekend.
WEST LAFAYETTE — Last Thursday night, Mark Galloway and his family flew across three states for an all-expenses paid weekend trip.
Such excursions aren't usually feasible for school teachers such as Galloway, who coaches basketball at Culver Academy. This, however, counted as a family business trip. Galloway's son Trey, one of the state's best basketball players in the junior class, had been invited to Iowa for an official visit.
"We've got military parades on Sundays and other responsibilities," Mark Galloway said. "We're trying to be as tactful as we can about getting out. It's not just visiting a school. It has to be something that's serious."
For an official visit, college programs can pay for the airfare (or reimburse driving mileage) and pay for lodging, meals and game tickets for the athlete and two family members. Traditionally, those visits signaled significant interest from both parties in the end game of the recruiting courtship.
As recently as last season, families such as the Galloways could not make those trips this early in the process. Previous NCAA rules limited players to five official visits beginning in January of their junior year.
An F.B.I. investigation one year ago resulted int the arrest of four basketball coaches and awakened a sense of reform in the sport. Changes proposed by the Rice Commission included more flexibility in the frequency and timing of official visits.
Players can now take five official visits between Aug. 1 and the end of their junior year, five more from that point through the Oct. 15 after their high school graduation, and five more once they reach college, should they choose to pursue a transfer.
The rule change most benefits players who make an early commitment, then reconsider due to a coaching change or some other factor. Yet it could also help programs demonstrate their level of interest in an athlete, while also allowing players to gather more information about programs earlier in the process.
"It's an opportunity for guys, especially when they don't have the time or resources to do all these visits, to see more places and get more of a feel for the coaching staff and the places recruiting them," said Butler (Pennsylvania) Area guard Ethan Morton, the only 2020 target Purdue so far to make an an official visit.
"When this rule changed we were like, 'Well, we might as well try and use as many as we can if universities want us to because the spring is tough with the live period and evaluation period and (the rule) turns over at the end of your junior year. We figured we should try and use as may as possible and experience what they are like."
Purdue seldom held early official visits under the old rules. Dakota Mathias took his official visit to Purdue in late March of his junior year, 2013, and committed about five weeks later. Normal (Illinois) West's Francis Okoro took one last April, though the now-Oregon freshman eventually graduated early.
In the past few years players have been more likely to take the official visit after committing — including current Boilermakers Ryan Cline and Trevion Williams and 2019 commits Isaiah Thompson and Mason Gillis — than to take one prior to the end of their junior year.
Morton took full advantage of the early change. He also officially visited Indiana two weeks ago, took an unofficial to Michigan last week and is scheduled to take a third official visit to Stanford this week. Under the old rules, he wouldn't be making that four-hour flight.
"(Distant schools) have an advantage to try and get guys on campus they wouldn't normally get with five official visits, because (the players) might have five they already like and wouldn't want to waste one on a school they're seeing for first time," Morton said.
The new rule did not go into effect for men's basketball until Aug. 15. Purdue coach Matt Painter said he and his staff approached it with the same strategy as always: "Aggressive is the best recipe."
"The guys that we're on, we're just trying to get them to officially visit," said Painter, who cannot talk about specific players until they have signed a national letter of intent or grant-in-aid paperwork. "It kind of got put on them, too, and they're not used to it.
"We're not trying to go for guys at distances vs. guys that are close. The guys that we have targeted, that's who we're going to try to get on (visits). If they're not ready to do them, that's their choice."
Marquette gets the first official visit for 2020 four-star Zeb Jackson, he tells Stockrisers.
Jackson will begin the OV on October 5th. Recently narrowed list to a final-7.
Early official visits won't benefit every prospect. Purdue's most recent 2019 commitment, Valparaiso guard Brandon Newman, said these new rules would not have helped him much. His recruitment didn't really pick up momentum until this past spring.
Gallipolis, Ohio, center Zach Loveday received a close look at Purdue when he came over for the program's Elite Camp in August. Painter was one of six head coaches to visit the Gallia Academy star, a top-50 national recruit, in a recent 10-day stretch.
Loveday's father, Billy, said they are considering early official visits to geographically remote schools such as Baylor, Florida and Stanford.
However, even for athletes who focus on basketball, weekends aren't always free. Zach Loveday plays trombone in the Gallia Academy marching band on Friday nights. Band competitions typically fall on Saturdays. Last weekend, Loveday took an unofficial visit to nearby Ohio State before heading to Charlotte, North Carolina, for a private training session.
Culver Academies 2020 guard Trey Galloway is making an official visit to Iowa this weekend. (New rules allow juniors to take them earlier than before.)#Purdue has also offered and coach Matt Painter was in recently to see him.
Billy Loveday expressed concern that the earlier official visits might cause some recruits to feel pressure to make an earlier decision. For practical reasons, he's also skeptical many players will end up taking all 10 of those visits.
"It might take a year or two for the shockwave to hit and players say we just can't take all 10 visits," Billy Loveday said. "It's not feasible. It may put more pressure on athletes to say they have to knuckle down and make a decision."
Zach Loveday's unofficial visit to Ohio State coincided with one for another Purdue 2020 target from Ohio: Maumee Valley Country Day guard Zeb Jackson. He reportedly will take his first official visit, to Marquette, next weekend.
Galloway took an unofficial visit to Notre Dame earlier this month at the same time Purdue 2020 target Hunter Dickinson, a center from DeMatha Catholic in Maryland, took an official visit.

Beyond Morton's visit, the immediate impact of the new rule for the Boilermakers may be limited.
Purdue has three commitments for 2019 and could add one or two more. Seven current players originally on scholarship project to return for the 2020-21 season. Of those, only 7-3 sophomore center Matt Haarms seems to have an above-average chance at an early professional opportunity. The Boilermakers' 2020 class may only feature one or two players.
Trey Galloway could be one of them. The family expects to return to West Lafayette soon, to reciprocate the recent visit Painter made to Culver. That 80-mile drive doesn't break the bank.
Last week's trip to Iowa, and others of similar distances for 2020 recruits and the classes coming up behind them, wouldn't be possible without the new rule.
"It sends a strong message to the coaching staff, too," Mark Galloway said. "If you're going to roll out the red carpet, if you will, both parties are pretty serious about each other." | 2019-04-23T23:53:32 | https://www.pal-item.com/story/sports/college/purdue/basketball/2018/09/26/new-official-visit-rules-help-purdue-prospects-make-early-evaluations/1293851002/ |
On Monday, real estate marketplace lending platform Money360 announced it provided a $8.5 million bridge loan for the refinancing of a K-12 charter school located in Spartanburg, South Carolina. According to the platform, the new loan will allow the borrower to pay off a maturing seller-financing loan, which had a higher interest rate, and provide $4.8 million cash out for impending near-term buildout of additional classrooms and facility space for the school.
Money360 added that the new loan term is fixed for two years, includes an interest-only payment, and has a limited prepayment penalty. The news of the bridge loan comes just a few months after the marketplace lender officially surpassed the $100 million in closed commercial real estate loans with the completion of $15.25 million in recently closed loans.
Money360’s recent transactions does include a bridge loan for the acquisition of a multifamily property in Tucson, Arizona; a bridge loan for the renovation of a full-service boutique hotel in Aurora, Ohio; cash-out permanent financing for a single-tenant retail building in Dayton, Ohio; and a bridge loan for the refinance of an anchored shopping center containing 206,257 square feet of rentable area in Jacksonville, Illinois.

762 to obtain a permit, however, to construct on one's own property a dam and reservoir to impound not to exceed 50 acre-feet of water for domestic and livestock purposes.317 Apparently the statutory procedure is the exclusive method of appropriating water in Texas.318 Any appropria- tion of water "wilfully abandoned" during any three successive years is forfeited.319 The statutes contain several provisions relating to preferences in the use of water. In the allotment and appropriation of water, pref- erence is accorded in the following order: (1) Domestic and municipal uses, including water for domestic animals; (2) conversion of materials into higher forms, including electric power other than hydroelectric; (3) irrigation; (4) mining and mineral recovery; (5) hydroelectric power; (6) navigation; (7) recreation and pleasure.320 Preference is to be given also to applications contemplating the maximum utilization of waters.321 Priority over all other applicants is accorded an intending appropriator of water for storage by channel dams for irrigation, mining, milling, manufacturing, development of power, water for cities and towns, or stock raising.322 The owner of land through which water flows has preference for a designated period over an applicant for a permit to appropriate the water for mining purposes.323 Except on any stream constituting the international boundary between the United States and Mexico, appropriations for other than domestic or municipal purposes are to be granted subject to the right of any municipality to make further appropriation of such water thereafter without the neces- sity of condemnation or payment of compensation.824 The riparian doctrine has been recognized as a fundamental part of the water law of Texas from the time of the earliest litigation on the subject. That recognition has extended throughout the long series of conflicts between claimants of riparian lands and claimants of rights to use water on nonnparian lands under the irrigation statutes enacted from time to time, but the appropriation doctrine likewise has been recognized for many decades and has become of great importance in 817 Tex. Vernon's Ann. Civ. Stats., art. 7500a. 818 The statute provides no alternative method, but on the contrary makes the taking or appropriation of water, without first complying with all the provisions of the act, a misdemeanor: Tex.

It all began with a command from Isaac to his young son Jacob (whose name God YHVH changed to “Israel”): “You shall not take for a wife from among the daughters of Canaan [meaning, low people]” (see Gen. 28:1). Isaac knew that the Canaanites- the people of Philistia, from whom we have the name Palestinians ever since Jews were sent into the Diaspora, and the Roman emperor of the time renamed the region after their Philistine enemies- worshipped different deities, particularly Baal, and that they would lead many of Israel’s offspring astray.
Yet there is another historical, panoramic, and nationally prophetic reason for Isaac’s fatherly restriction at the time of blessing his promised son, and the reason is that Israel/Jacob- in the Divinely orchestrated passages of him choosing his wives- foreshadows the Son of God (a.k.a. Jesus Christ/Yeshua haMashiach) selecting a “Bride” (i.e., covenant citizenship to reign with Him). When the Messiah returns, no Palestinian will be left in the Holy Land, but all who convert to Christ and remaining believers will be blessed for following only the true God (as opposed to cursed for following false deities); All Muslims will be cast out according to the biblical prophecies.
These dual prophecies- and we know they are dualistic (common in Isaiah) because the Palestinian remnant has not been altogether destroyed- will be fulfilled, and it should be heeded that God does not entertain the politically correct “two-state solution” of the renegade nations and their secular progressive leaders. Those who do not escape Palestine and Islam and cleave to the covenants of the only true God, YHVH, and the House of Israel, have no future under the Messiah.
Thus, I, the scribe, have written all of this to explain why Jacob (Israel) was not to take wives from land of Canaan. His father sent him to his own people to find a bride (Gen. 28:2). This was emphasised in Scripture because the marriage covenant was designed to foreshadow God marrying the land of Israel, with holy citizens united under the coming Messiah.
Isaac, as a type of God the Father, sent Israel to Padan-aram, meaning high tableland, to the house of Bethuel, meaning filiation of Elohim, because only those who are affiliated to the biblical God through his covenants will be exalted as the Bride of Messiah. Thus, we have a clear distinction between two peoples at the end of the age: those who are brought low in their pride and the meek in righteousness who are exalted when Messiah returns to save Jerusalem and Israel from the children of the False Prophet Mohammad, and from the rebellious nations. Those who rebel choose their own fates, for an adoption of sons and daughters is offered by God into the commonwealth of Israel. Those who dwell in the land must again choose between God and Baal, and those who choose Allah can expect the Sword of the Spirit to fall sharply upon them.
For those of you who have read my previous articles, you have likely seen the 22-millenniums template of biblical history and prophecy (completing the alphanumerical Hebrew alphabet) that I commonly call the “Moedim Paradigm.” The terminology suggests a coming paradigm shift in biblical eschatology and exegetics- how Bible-believers will interpret Scriptures in the future.
Moedim means appointed times- a little-known term except by Hebrew-speaking Jews and Messianic Christians who keep the holy days commanded and commissioned by God in the Torah. Unlike many biblical charts, graphs, and diagrams of time that can easily be found everywhere online, with attempts to justify various viewpoints on the Book of Revelation, mystical beliefs, or “Church Age” prophecies, the Moedim Paradigm is the only true, panoramic framework of all Scriptures (that which has been and that which shall to complete this age: the basis of Torah holy days, panoramic parables, messianic similitudes, numerous other biblical enigmas, and foreshadowing signs of the age to come).
It consists of three overlapping, millennial weeks followed by a final millennial day, which can be discerned alongside the writings of Paul in Hebrews, Ch. 3 and 4. In literal millenniums, it covers 12,000 years from the Genesis restoration and replenishing of the world (God’s creation of the Garden of Eden, after the Younger Dryas) to the second coming of the Messiah (see previous articles on New Genesis Theory and Prophetic Genesis Theory). With Messiah’s millennial reign in Jerusalem added, it covers 13,000 years. Finally, it ventures into the beginning of the 14th millennial day and the great Battle of Gog and Magog (see Rev. 19:7-14), which is directly related to the final judgment (G.W.T.J.).
In a previous article that I wrote on the prophetic measurements and times of Noah’s Ark, I draw-out theses three weeks with the dove (i.e. the Holy Spirit) searching for a resting place for the ark (symbolic for the Great Sabbath elect of spiritual Jerusalem). Indeed, I have worn my zeal thin in demonstrating this framework in various ways with Scriptures, yet this article will again explain it in another way and add a bit more support to its paradigm of time.
The gist of the foreshadowing story of Israel going out to find a wife from among his own people is that Israel would actually have to work two weeks of years for two wives: the first according to the law of the land and the latter by a promise and the work of Jacob’s faith. Not only that, but the son of Isaac would receive several children from his wives’ servants, as concubines, and he would have to work six more years for the sake of his wives’ father, Laban. Hence, Jacob working for three weeks of years, departing into the wilderness on the 21st year, was orchestrated by God to show the entire millennial works of the Son of God is forming a covenant family from many people- not only Jews according to the Law of the land but also the desired/promised wife of faith with servants of the covenants. This is entirely the basis of the three millennial weeks of the Moedim Paradigm structure.
The work done by God through Christ entails forming a family from Jews and Gentiles to restore the twelve tribes of the commonwealth of greater Israel. But not only has our Lord worked a week for each covenant people, but he has also worked a week in the beginning for the Father, in forming a paradise for them. At the appointed time, the two people and all the children of Israel will become one in the wilderness of tabernacles (the fulfillment of the shadows of Sukkot). Moreover, the people of God should consider that there are many things that are not being taught by Jew nor Gentile shepherds, but all things shall be restored to prepare a people for the coming of the Lord. These appointed times reveal the necessary steps to the coming Kingdom of Heaven, as the House of God on Earth.
After Jacob received his blessing and instructions from his father, he went upon his journey- i.e., his wife-hunting quest- from Beersheba, meaning well of the oath/promise, through the wilderness of Haran, meaning mountainous. First comes the promise and covenant by the deep waters of the Word, and then comes exaltation of the meek and faithful in the fullness of appointed time.
Bible readers may recall that Haran was where Abram answered the call to escape Babylon- the Chaldeans, meaning demons- when God called him out to the Promised Land (see Gen. 12:1-4). Abram was at first promised that he would be the father of a “great nation,” which we know to be Israel via the lineage of renewed promises. The world would be blessed through his Seed (the extended covenant of the Messiah). Then the Lord YHVH changed his name to Abraham and explained that he would be the father of “many nations” joined in the covenant.
Thus, when we take a closer look at Jacob taking a similar journey through the wilderness of Haran, we conclude that even the smallest details of Scripture were orchestrated by God with prophetic parallels and panoramic purposes. Indeed, Jacob’s name would also be changed, and he, too, would receive a much larger family than what he had originally expected. It may be that Isaac, who symbolizes God the Father in this ancient quest for Israel, had a name meaning laughter not only because of Sarah the Princess initially laughing at the promise of receiving a child in her old age; it may suggest that God has the last laugh on the entire House of Israel- people who have not perceived His panoramic plan in building the family of God.
Remember, while the Gentile woman was gathering two sticks for a humble meal for herself and her son, expecting death in the half-week of trials and famine, Elijah was predicting an overflow of the oil of Spiritual anointing and an increase in the nourishing, sustaining meal of the Word. And as Prophet Ezekiel was shown, indeed two sticks will be refined in tribulations from death to life, until they are raised as one people and one flock from many folds, with the whole House of David resurrected and restored. Sometimes we get more than we expect and perceive with natural eyes. Sometimes joy follows sorrows, and such is the case of what shall be with the whole Household of God.
As is often the case when people must leave loved ones behind and dwell in solitude, they draw closer to God with spiritual awareness. The Lord appeared to Jacob in the loneliness of the wilderness, but his message was that that he would receive a very large family, even as the dust upon which he rested. Again, it was a promised increase, just as Abraham received a promise that his descendants would be as the stars of heaven (Gen. 15:5). The dust of the earth and the stars of the heavens indicate a union between both Heaven (spiritual) and Earth (corporeal).
The fulfillment of the Word of God is not merely a promise of joining the family in death, but it is spiritually manifest on Earth, just as New Jerusalem comes down out of Heaven to Earth. Moreover, the spiritual things are blueprints of God’s work in building a blessed Kingdom and elect family in this world. One believer might say, “I am spiritual Israel by the promise and faith,” and the other might rebut, “I am a true Israelite in the flesh with a lineage on Earth,” but God joins together the faithful of Earth and Heaven, fathers and children, spiritual and corporeal, patriarchs and matriarchs to sons and daughters. While Christian denominations ever-splinter into new groups to feign themselves as the true elect, and while practicing Jews oftentimes pride themselves on their fleshly inheritance to remain exclusive, God yet laughs. He will bring down the mountains of religious pride and lift the meek valleys as one people who shall embrace His covenants in faith and obedience to His Word.
They will be set straight in their doctrines as the wilderness is prepared for the coming of Messiah. And for those who do not listen to Elijah and yet harden their hearts, their only recourse is an ultimate curse of utter destruction (see Mal. 4:5-6). Indeed, we would all do well to show our love for all the brethren, including sisters of the faith, and count the promise of an innumerable multitude as a blessing from God, as Abraham and Jacob did, lest we find that in our pride and refusal to reason we are cast outside of the gates to knock in vain at Heaven’s door.
Still, the questions remain: ‘Why did God show Israel a vision of a ladder, with angels ascending and descending, when promising him the Holy Land and such a large nation of descendants? Do angels really need a ladder to traverse back and forth from Heaven to Earth?’ I think we all know better. A ladder is a series of steps in reaching the glory of the Lord- the High Calling. Angels are messengers, be they spirits or inspired people who are sent to share the Word. By implication, the message of the vision is that the messages of God come from Heaven to Earth in a series of steps, over time, and those who aspire to reach the House of God must take the time to climb to greater heights.
The dream may also indicate that spirits come and go from Heaven and Earth, dying and being born again in the steps of life. But this will be covered in another article with scriptural support.
Finally, the vision may allude to all of the faithful of Israel being called to the wilderness during the Apocalypse night, when we seek the promised Sabbath of rest; perhaps, like Jacob, our spirits will then be awakened to Heaven as we yet dwell in the flesh on Earth.
Further, several truths may be suggested from the one revelation. What we do know for certain is that the inspiring revelation of God and His messengers ascending and descending has to do with the Promised Land and the families of the world being blessed through his Christ.
Note that the Lord seeing Nathanael dwelling under the fig tree was a prophetic, messianic sign that alludes to the day when God finishes gathering all of Israel, and they call their family and neighbors under the fig tree (see Zech. 3:9-10). In prophecy, the fig tree often represents Israel.
Hence, Christ was telling Nathanael that not only did He see him when he thought he was alone, but the One who called him is the true Yeshua of seven eyes of the Spirit. As for the fulfillment of the promise, Christ’s disciples twice saw Heaven opened: The first time was when Peter, James, and John had a vision on a high mountain in the wilderness (Mount of Transfiguration), wherein they saw Christ’s coming glory during the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot). In that vision of the coming glory, God spoke and told them to listen to His Son, and Moses and Elijah (the two witnesses of Revelation who unite the people) appeared and talked with Him. In the latter fulfillment, the heavens were opened and Messiah’s disciples witnessed him ascend into heaven, with two mysterious men in white garments explaining that Christ would return as He left (see Acts 1:5-12).
When we add all these things together, they suggest the coming marriage of the Lamb to a called people in the wilderness. Therefore, what Jacob saw was the Great Sabbath to come and the Household of God coming down to Earth, even as Israel awakens to the Truth.
I, the scribe, cannot go into every prophetic implication and foreshadowing of messianic details for the next seven chapters of Genesis, until Jacob is commanded to return with his family to Bethel to set up an alter to God (Gen. 35:1), lest I write an entire book rather than an article. However, I will summarize these things and leave them for readers to search out.
The story of Jacob’s journey resumes with another great stone set before him- one in a field that covered a well (29:1-3). For the shepherds of the land, it was where they would gather their three flocks to water them. When the great stone was rolled away, they could draw water, and then the stone would be rolled back into its place until the next appointed time.
These sheep allude to three flocks of Israel being gathered together and the water of everlasting life given on the third millennial day since the cross. Hence, Christ told a Samaritan woman sitting at a well that people will thirst again for regular water, but He had the waters that spring forth for everlasting life (see John 4:10-14). We know these as “living waters” and the “river of life,” and other such terms that illustrate the everlasting life we are offered in the New Testament- the Gospel of Salvation. And it is probably no coincidence that the fresh waters of the Word began to be preached after the resurrection, when the great stone of Christ’s tomb was rolled away and He began to appear to encourage His disciples with the good news. Indeed, a stone covering is yet another indication of messianic prophecy (see Zech. 4:7).
Another thing to consider is that the Stone of Israel, Christ, had to be removed from His place as King for the people to receive the Gospel of His sacrifice, but He will return to His rightful place on the third millennial day, with all the sheep who thirst after righteousness satisfied. Just as the children of Israel had to throw a tree into the bitter waters of the Law in the wilderness, to freshen it and save them on their journey to the Promised Land, we must receive the sweet waters that come via the cross of Christ’s sacrifice.
Jacob then met with some shepherds of Haran and asked them if they knew Laban bar-Nahor, meaning white slumbering, and they replied that they did and that he was well. In fact, they informed him that Laban’s daughter was approaching with his flock of sheep. As the text reads, the shepherds then resisted Jacob’s request to water and feed the sheep before the evening cattle were gathered, for all the sheep were normally gathered at one time before the great stone was rolled away. But when Jacob met with Rachael and saw the sheep thirsty, he rolled away the stone and watered them nonetheless. This reminds me of the passage where Christ said, “Take away the stone,” as He went to raise Lazarus on the fourth day, although Martha and others believed that the dead could only be raised at a certain time, at the last day of the millennial week. Christ reminded them that He has the authority and power to give life or sustain life whenever He chooses.
I am not sure how much should be gleaned from the short account, but it should be noted that shepherds are often synonymous with religious leaders of God’s flock in Scriptures (e.g. priests, rabbis). Apparently, the shepherds only wanted to water and feed them when they were all gathered in a congregation, at specific times.
The lesson we learn from Jacob, and indeed much later with Christ, is that love and compassion should compel spiritual leaders of the people to preach and encourage others any time of the day. “He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst,” said Christ (see John 6:35). As we read the Gospels, it takes little discernment to perceive that Christ and His disciples approached their ministry and preached to the people in an entirely different manner than the somewhat haughty and self-important priests and rabbis of the time (resulting in God YHVH destroying the priesthood and the Temple in that generation).
After hearing Jacob’s good tidings (his gospel) and a month of lodging, Laban approached his nephew and asked him what seemed appropriate for his wages, rather than Jacob serving him freely (29:15). As was custom in those days, Hebrew men paid a dowry to the fathers of the women whom they wished to marry, and Jacob favored the younger, more beautiful of Laban’s two daughters, Rachel.
Accordingly, his older daughter Leah was a bit on the earthly side and homely, and apparently she found little favor in Jacob’s eyes. So Jacob proposed working for Laban for seven years for Rachael (29:18), and although Laban agreed, there may have been an early sign of reluctance in his words: “Better that I should give her to you than I should should grant her to another man.” With that, the bridegroom worked for seven years for his future father-in-law, although they seemed but a few days to Jacob because he loved her so.
Here we find that God indeed has a sense of humor; we humans didn’t gain it out of thin air or by evolutionary happenchance. And, of course, God must be just, even if we don’t realize it when we are reaping what we sewed, be it in this life, in the afterlife, or in another. You see, Jacob was a bit of a trickster himself- a heel catcher or supplanter– and he tricked his older brother out of his father’s blessing and inheritance (27:1-35). Also, by feeding his hungry brother- after him hunting long in the field and starving- red pottage and bread, Jacob gained his birthright (25:34). Indeed, it must have been humbling when Jacob awoke the next morning to find that he got a bit more than he had bargained for. In fact, he got someone altogether different than he had desired during the seven years of his servitude.
Jacob had tricked his own father when his eyes were failing, but then his father-by-law tricked him when he could barely see in the night. As for the nation of Israel, they made a covenant with the Father, likened to a marriage (see Jer. 31:31-33), and God worked to deliver and teach them in truth and righteousness; but then Israel rejected God as their King and Husband and selected Saul to reign in His stead (cf. 1 Sam. 8:4-8; 1 Chron. 29:23). And the saga continues when Jews tried to make Yeshua King of Judea by force, but He escaped them, and the covenant of the Bridegroom went out to the Gentiles with Jewish leaders rejecting the cross.
Thus, the Lord first made a covenant with Israel, which He repeatedly said “wearied” Him and themselves with their rebellious ways (cf. Isa. 1:14; 7:13; 43:23-24; 47:13; 57:10; Jer. 4:31; 12:5; 15:6; Mal. 2:17). Likewise, Jacob first received Leah, which means weary. God desired a faithful people of covenant, but he received a people who worshiped other gods, had little faith, and became ill-favored in His eyes. With Leah we find a wife who was given according to the law of the land, which looks to earthly Israel before the Diaspora. But in these last days the Lord has been working for a desired people of faith and promise- Jews and Gentiles of a new Jerusalem that comes down from the Father as a citizenry Bride for the Great King.
After Jacob accepted the switch, he worked seven more years, totaling fourteen, and received Rachael as a wife, and her handmaiden was her younger sister Bilhah, meaning meek or perhaps even timid. During that time, the Lord saw that Leah was hated. Therefore, he blessed her for her affliction with a son, Reuben, followed by Simeon, Levi the priest, and Judah- the tribe of the Savior.
Then began the competition for who could have more children for the love of Israel, and Rachael, envying her sister, gave Jacob her handmaiden Bilhah for a concubine. And this came after she pleaded with Jacob for children in anguish of death, whereby he exclaimed, “Am I in God’s stead, who has withered the fruit of your womb?” But Bilhah had a son for Rachael, whom she named Dan since God judged her childlessness. Bilhah thereafter had another son, Naphtali, meaning that Rachael prevailed in striving with her sister Leah. This was followed by Leah then making her handmaiden Zilpah a surrogate wife, and she bore Gad, a trooper, then Asher. After that, Rachael, who had the greater love of Jacob, traded his husbandly service for a night for Leah’s son’s mandrakes from the wheat harvest, which was the night she conceived of her fifth son, Issachar. Finally, Leah had her sixth son, Zebulun- from whom came the tribal allotment where the Ark of the Covenant was hidden, along the rocks close to where the Sea of Galilee meets the Jordan.
Yet, Leah had one more child to give, only the seventh and final was a daughter. And this was for a sign, for on the seventh millennial day from Adam, the Great Sabbath, the Daughter of Zion, the Bride of Messiah, will sit in judgment of the nations with the Great King. Up until that time, Jacob had eleven children, and then Rachael had Joseph. Later, Rachael would have a last son and child of Jacob, Benjamin, the twelfth of the sons. Benjamin, however, would not be born until after their wilderness journey home.
While Jacob was ready to return home after two weeks of years, God was not finished blessing him with substance. Nor was the panoramic paradigm of time complete. A third week was needed in service to the father of the wives, which would indicate the creation week. Not only that, but a separation of the flock of God and Israel from the lesser flock left behind had to be demonstrated. It was necessary for Jacob to work until the 21st year, for the wilderness gathering for the Great Sabbath comes at the end of twenty millenniums. | 2019-04-21T06:10:39 | https://mysteriesofthescriptures.net/2015/12/25/bride-of-christ-and-the-moedim-paradigm/ |

Hillary Clinton showed both vulnerability and defiance in a wide-ranging town hall meeting on Wednesday night, openly discussing her personal search for humility and firmly saying her expensive paid speeches to Wall Street firms were not a mistake.
The town hall, which was led mostly by audience questions, included pointed questions about Clinton’s vote for the Iraq War and her stance on Wall Street, but also allowed for revealing mediation on personal questions, both by her and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who preceded her on stage.
It was an unusually personal moment for the former Secretary of State, who does not often discuss her doubts.
But between openly grappling with personal questions, Clinton refused to back down and second-guess her decision to give paid Wall Street speeches.
Clinton has been attacked for accepting nearly $700,000 from Goldman Sachs by Sanders, who has accused her of being influenced by Wall Street. It has become an issue on the campaign trail as some Democratic voters question Clinton’s integrity and independence.
When asked by moderator Anderson Cooper if she made a mistake in giving paid speeches before announcing her White House bid, Clinton said no. “Look, I made speeches to lots of groups. I told them what I thought. I answered questions,” she said.
Sanders and Clinton will meet on a debate stage on Thursday night in Manchester. | 2019-04-19T22:15:28 | http://time.com/4207487/hillary-clinton-wall-street-speeches/ |

Ladders, Why Are They Important ?
The fire service ladder, a staple of many fire department patches and art work often gets overlooked for more pressing issues like EMS training, ICS, or the current NIMS classes we are required to take. But for the victims at the third floor window waving franticly on the window sill, the ladder is often their last hope. That is why we need to be vigilant, stead-fast, and disciplined in the art of ladder operations.
Heavy Rescue Class will start at 0800 in the DeLuna Hall on First Floor of Pensacola Beach Hampton Inn. Less than 10 spots available.

Rogers Albritton was a philosopher of independent mind who was once chair of the philosophy department at Harvard, and later the chair at UCLA.
Out in California, he became the president of the American Philosophical Association's western division. His 1985 presidential address, "Freedom of Will and Freedom of Action," to the APA distinguished freedom of action (the freedom to do what we will) from freedom of the will itself.
"Where there's a will, there just isn't always a way," as he put it.
This was a clear and thoughtful distinction at a time when compatibilists - or "soft determinists" as they were known since William James, were identifying free will with the lack of external constraints.
This view of freedom as freedom of action originated with Thomas Hobbes and David Hume.
It was the foremost view in the age of Newtonian deterministic physics, and continued to grow stronger in modern times despite the discovery of real quantum mechanical indeterminism in the early twentieth century.
Albritton was particularly critical of Elizabeth Anscombe and her essay "Soft Determinism."
Albritton made it very clear that we could will something even if it proved impossible to do.
Fortunately, Elizabeth Anscombe has taught me, by her essay "Causality and Determination," that I needn't go in for Lapacean fantasies, and I gather that John Earman is intent on conveying the same reassurance. That's fine. But one wouldn't care to think one's freedom of will secured by the physical possibility in pure theory that one will stay in bed for the rest of one's life, with Russian explanations ready in case anyone asks, much less by the theoretical possibility that instead of doing one's duty one will suddenly deliquesce into a nasty liquid all over the rug. Are we or aren't we as approximately deterministic as alarm clocks, say? That seems an awful question.
Albritton could not see that the adequate determinism we share with alarm clocks can be augmented by some modest libertarianism, a bit of randomness that generates alternative possibilities for our thoughts and subsequent actions. | 2019-04-25T18:21:02 | http://www.informationphilosopher.com/solutions/philosophers/albritton/ |

William Shakespeare is usually considered the greatest dramatist of English literature. No other writer's plays and poetry have been produced so many times in so many countries and translated into so many languages. One of the major reasons for Shakespeare's popularity is the variety of rich characters that he successfully creates, from drunkards and paid murderers to princes and kings, from inane fools and court jesters to wise and noble generals. Each character springs vividly to life upon the stage and, as they speak their beautiful verse or prose, the characters remind the viewers of their own personalities, traits and flaws. Shakespeare also made his characters very realistic. The dramatist had an amazing knowledge of a wide variety of subjects, and his well-developed characters reflect this knowledge, whether it be about military science, the graces of royalty, seamanship, history, the Bible, music, or sports.
In Shakespeare's time, few biographies were written, and none of the literary men of the Elizabethan Age wrote a book about his life. The first portfolio of his works, collected as a memorial to Shakespeare by members of his own acting company, was not published until 1623, seven years after his death. His first biography was written one hundred years later. As a result, many of the facts of Shakespeare's life are unknown. It is known that he was born in Stratford-on-Avon in England, in early 1564, for his baptism is recorded on April 26 of that year. His mother, Mary, had eight children, with William being the third. His father, John Shakespeare, was a fairly prosperous glovemaker who owned several houses in Stratford and became the town's mayor when Shakespeare was a boy. The young Shakespeare probably studied in the local grammar school and hunted and played sports in the open fields behind his home.
The next definite information about William Shakespeare is that the young man, at age 18, married Anne Hathaway, who was 26, on November 28, 1582. In 1583, it is recorded that Anne gave birth to their oldest child, Susanna, and that twins, Hamnet and Judith, were born to the couple in 1585. By 1592, the family was living in London, where Shakespeare was busy acting in plays and writing his own dramas. From 1592 to 1594, the plague kept most London theaters closed, so the dramatist turned to writing poetry during this period, and his poems, which were actually published, became popular with the masses and contributed to his good reputation as a writer. From 1594 to the end of his career, Shakespeare belonged to the same theatrical company, known first as Lord Chamberlain's Men and then as the King's Company. It is also known that he was both a leader and stockholder in this acting organization, which became the most prosperous group in London, and that he was meeting with both financial success and critical acclaim.
In 1594, Shakespeare was popular enough as an actor to perform before Queen Elizabeth. By 1596, he owned considerable property in London and bought one of the finest houses in Stratford, known as New Place, in 1597. A year later, in 1598, he bought ten percent of the stock in the Globe Theatre, where his plays were produced. In 1608, he and his colleagues also purchased The Blackfriars Theatre, where they began to hold productions during the winter, returning to the Globe during the summer months. Throughout the rest of his life, Shakespeare continued to purchase land, homes, and businesses. He obviously was a busy man between handling his business ventures, performing on the stage, and writing or collaborating on the thirty-seven plays that are credited to him.
Shakespeare's most productive years were from 1594 to 1608, the period in which he wrote all of his great tragedies, such as Macbeth, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Romeo and Juliet. During these fourteen years, he furnished his acting company with approximately two plays annually. After 1608, it appears he went into semi-retirement, spending more time in Stratford and creating only five plays before his death on April 23, 1616. He was buried before the altar in the Stratford Church, where his body still lies today. Many literary students and visitors make a pilgrimage to this shrine each year in order to honor William Shakespeare, still recognized after 400 years as one of the world's greatest poets and dramatists. | 2019-04-23T00:41:31 | http://pinkmonkey.com/booknotes/monkeynotes/pmMerryWives07.asp |

Zulfi Hoxha is an American senior commander in ISIS. He has also appeared in at least one propaganda video for the group. Before joining ISIS, Hoxha communicated with other American ISIS supporters on social media, who helped fund his travel to Syria. He departed for Syria in April 2015 and became a foreign fighter for ISIS.Seamus Hughes et al., “A New American Leader Rises in ISIS,” Atlantic, January 13, 2018, https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/01/isis-america-hoxha/550508/.
Hoxha was born in the United States to Albanian parents. He grew up in Margate, New Jersey, and graduated from Atlantic City High School in 2010.Craig R. McCoy et al., “From Atlantic City High to ISIS: the path of a homegrown terrorist,” Philadelphia Inquirer, January 19, 2018, http://www.philly.com/philly/news/nation_world/american-isis-commander-atlantic-city-margate-zulfi-hoxha-2-20180119.html. According to his mother, he attended a mosque, where he may have been radicalized.Ariel Zilber, “‘Liberate yourself from hellfire by killing a non-believer’: Terrorist seen executing a prisoner in vile ISIS propaganda video and urging lone wolf attacks in the US is a New Jersey high school graduate,” Daily Mail (London), January 19, 2018, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5290151/ISIS-soldier-seen-beheading-video-American.html.
Hoxha was active on social media before his departure for Syria. He reportedly operated a Twitter account on which he interacted with other ISIS supporters as well as the U.S. State Department’s “Think Again Turn Away” counter-propaganda account in October 2014. He was also active on the video gaming website Steam, where he reportedly first interacted with David Daoud Wright, a U.S.-born ISIS supporter who plotted to carry out a domestic terror attack, sometime before November 2014. Hoxha and Wright discussed their support for ISIS on Skype and the messaging app Paltalk, where they participated in pro-ISIS chatrooms and shared ISIS propaganda materials with each other, including execution videos and the magazine Dabiq. Wright and his uncle Usaamah Abdullah Rahim––who was later shot and killed by law enforcement officers after he tried to attack them with a large knife––sold a laptop on Craigslist to help Hoxha raise money for the plane ticket that he would use to travel overseas to join ISIS.Seamus Hughes et al., “A New American Leader Rises in ISIS,” Atlantic, January 13, 2018, https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/01/isis-america-hoxha/550508/.
Hoxha departed the United States for Istanbul, Turkey, on April 6, 2015. By April 10, he had arrived at an ISIS training camp in Syria. Hoxha informed Rahim of his arrival in ISIS territory through an encrypted messaging app. After Hoxha began training, Rahim continued to receive updates on his activities from British ISIS facilitator Junaid Hussain.Seamus Hughes et al., “A New American Leader Rises in ISIS,” Atlantic, January 13, 2018, https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/01/isis-america-hoxha/550508/. According to U.S. law enforcement, Hoxha was a senior ISIS commander as of 2017.Seamus Hughes et al., “A New American Leader Rises in ISIS,” Atlantic, January 13, 2018, https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/01/isis-america-hoxha/550508/.
Hoxha has also represented ISIS in the group’s propaganda videos. In May 2017, Hoxha appeared in an ISIS propaganda video filmed in northwestern Iraq entitled “We Will Surely Guide Them To Our Ways.” In the video, masked and using the name “Abu Hamza al-Amriki,” Hoxha calls upon supporters to carry out domestic terror attacks within the United States. Hoxha’s identity in the video was confirmed by the the U.S. government.Seamus Hughes et al., “A New American Leader Rises in ISIS,” Atlantic, January 13, 2018, https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/01/isis-america-hoxha/550508/.

CHICAGO—In the movie “Shaft,” the lead character is a baaad … well, you know the rest.
But the actor who played the iconic character told an audience here that even John Shaft would have a difficult time navigating the hurdles of prejudice and racism that exist in Hollywood.
Richard Roundtree joined a host of other Black Hollywood actors, writers and producers March 11 in a conversation about “Race and the Media: Series 1” at the DuSable Museum on the city’s South Side. The event was the first in a series of gatherings the museum will host to discuss the current state of the performing arts and controversies of race and inclusion.
Mr. Roundtree said the difficulty for Blacks in Hollywood today is the White toll booth at the production door.
“Unless you are able to get your project produced and mounted it don’t mean a damn thing,” he said emphatically.
That sentiment was echoed from others on the panel that included actresses Dawnn Lewis and Margaret Avery, musician Najee, filmmaker D. Channsin Berry and screenwriter Rodney Barnes. The crowd of 200 leaned in on every word of what has become a common refrain in discussions about the racism that exists in the institutions throughout the country.
“White writers and producers write what they think we would say. They get it wrong most of the time. And they inflict in casting their prejudices,” she said, explaining that once she wasn’t cast as a lawyer because the producers didn’t think Whites in the South would believe a Black woman could be a lawyer.
“We don’t make judgements about the Holocaust so how do they make judgements about us,” she asked.
Mr. Barnes, a co-producer of the “Boondocks,” described Hollywood as a high-school cafeteria where if you don’t fit in at the table you’re excluded. He said he pitches different ideas to mostly White producers who try to change the concept into something they can relate to. If the process goes on long enough, “I don’t recognize the idea anymore,” he said.
“It’s difficult to be culturally specific as long as it’s filtered through White thought. Even though you’re seeing more Black faces, they don’t sound like Black people,” he said.
Ms. Lewis, known for her character Jaleesa on “A Different World,” was the most vocal on the panel, declaring that change will come in Hollywood when Blacks start withholding their financial support from programs that don’t properly reflect Black people.
She said projects get the green lit based on whether they will make money, adding that if she were White with the same talents she has today, she would have been offered a wider variety of character roles.
Black actors get called in for specific roles and age groups, and Hollywood too often goes to the same Black actors as if others didn’t exist, she said.
Channsin Berry took the entrepreneurial route to producing his documentaries. After studying the pioneering Black filmmaker Oscar Micheaux and Tyler Perry’s independent model, Mr. Berry said he took his documentary “Dark Girls” to venues on the road like a concert.
He used social media, marketing and networking to make the screenings an event and a movement. After getting 6 million hits on social media, the film made $125,000 the first weekend out, he said.
“I went out and talked to my people on social media and you guys started tweeting. The next thing I know I’m in Newark, in London, in Paris. I’m in Africa because of social media and what you have done. It was between us and our relationship,” he said.
Musician Najee has scored music for several films. He said Hollywood needs to “include more of the Diaspora of the human experience” and be more truthful. He expressed the irony of the movie “Gods of Egypt” featuring White lead actors.
Mr. Berry also called on the community to stop bootleggers and downloading content for free because such actions deprive artists of making a living and being able to produce new content.
Young actor Jason Jack Edwards, who appeared in commercials and the film “Black Dynamite,” attended the event to hear how to survive in the industry. | 2019-04-19T08:28:41 | https://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/Entertainment_News_5/article_102972.shtml |

IMAGE: Photograph by Chris Hoover/Modernist Cuisine LLC, via The New Yorker.
This image, one of a dozen in a New Yorker slideshow selection from The Photography of Modernist Cuisine, shows the very different flames produced by different salts, sprinkled over a a burner. Ordinary table salt (sodium chloride) created the two flames on the left, followed by copper sulphate (a mineral salt and anti-caking agent) and potassium phosphate, which, depending on its molecular weight, can be found in Gatorade, non-dairy creamer, or ReddiWhip.
Australian firefighter Shan Raffel, writing in Firefighter Nation magazine, points that out that, in real life, most burning structures will be filled with multiple different fuel types, and so the most useful information to be gathered from flames is about the efficiency and type of combustion occurring. Using the example of particle board, Raffel explains that “when the air supply is good, the flame is yellow. When the oxygen concentration is reduced, the flame becomes a reddish-orange color.
The shape or form of the flame can also give an indication of the type of combustion occurring. The reddish-orange flames are often turbulent with a short-wave form. The ignition of accumulated pyrolysis products (aka combustible gases) produces a very light-yellow flame (sometimes almost clear). Amazingly in this case, the wave form is larger and the flames seem very slow.
In any case, it occurs to me that, in some ways, you could say that the art of cooking is also to know food by how it burns—or, better, how it is transformed by fire. | 2019-04-25T22:48:33 | http://www.ediblegeography.com/kindle/ |

When costs estimates are accurate and the schedule is well-developed, the entire process – from developing the proposal to on-site change management – runs more smoothly. Our broad understanding of how the different parts of a project work together equips us to develop a practical, integrated work breakdown structure (WBS).
Estimates come in various levels, from rough order of magnitude (ROM) down to detailed activity-based costing (ABC) - and we’re well versed in all of them.
It can be challenging to pull together a ROM estimate when the client is contemplating a unique project. Without drawings and comparative examples, it can be tough to get the numbers right. But because we’ve faced the challenge before, we’ve become pretty good at breaking out the different components of a new project and finding commonalities with other projects.
And, of course, when we’re working on an ABC estimate, that’s where our skill at WBS really comes into play. We know how to measure the details by accurately defining the different components of a project. And when there’s a significant difference between the ROM and the ABC, we can tell you how it happened and help you determine whether or not the difference is in line with your vision for what the project is supposed to do. | 2019-04-18T11:21:07 | http://lucasinc.com/index.php/project-services/cost-and-schedule-development/ |

These are some things I made during the last week with the veggies from my CSA, sometimes a few additional things. I don’t always note quantities…they’re kind of simple, pinch and toss type dishes.
Stir-fry with Bok choy, green beans, red bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic, lots of onion, fresh ginger root, salt and a bit of soy sauce.
Fast food on a night I didn’t feel like cooking – edamame pasta with marinara, Bok choy , green onions.
Miso Soup – 1 TB miso and 1/2 tsp. soy sauce to 1.5 cups water (I think I made a soup of about 6 cups). I sautéed onion and Bok choy stems first, then prepared the liquid/soup in the same pot. When it was hot, I added cut up Bok choy leaves and tofu squares. Checked the seasoning, added a little pepper and topped it off with green onions.
Corn and potato chowder. Saute chopped onion in extra virgin olive oil, add some cut up carrots. When soft, add lots of cut up potato and organic corn. Cut up greens come in at the end when finished cooking. I think I might have used kale or maybe a mix of kale and Bok choy for this, but any tender greens are fine. It was simply seasoned with salt and pepper, and I happened to have some fresh marjoram as well.
Lots of delicious sautéed onions and Bok choy stems, sautéed tofu squares, Bok choy greens at the last-minute and a bit of soy sauce. Mmmm…mmm…good!
Many of you are probably getting underway with your summer gardening plans. Be sure your plan includes things you can pickle!
Fermented foods are great for you. And there’s one quick and easy way to make certain you have some delicious fermented products with every meal: pickles. (Note: these are not fully fermented — they get a boost with vinegar and refrigeration).
Pickles and olives are part of every meal in the Middle East. When they’re this easy to make, why would you ever get canned? Better yet, when you make your own, you can season them exactly as you’d like.
For the batch of pickles you see pictured here, I used Persian cucumbers, the small, thin, denser variety I can often find in my neighborhood. Regular pickles will work just as well. In fact, you can pickle almost any firm veggies in this way.
A couple of my favorites are cauliflower with red cabbage – or turnips with a beet. Sometimes I throw carrots in with my regular pickles for the color, and the carrots pickle nicely as well. Pieces of red bell pepper or colorful whole mini-peppers work the same way.
One more word about the pickles you see in the picture: I love spicy things. Not everyone does in my world. That’s why I made two jars of pickles to have in the ‘fridge: one has hot peppers in it and the other doesn’t.
For the hot peppers, habanero work perfectly to spice up the whole batch. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any so am trying red “finger hot” peppers. They weren’t hot enough for me last time, but I thought I might give them another chance.
I can’t wait ’til these are ready! I’ve got my ingredients together (except the garlic, vinegar and salt) and am ready to go.
Use clear, clean glass containers for your pickles. I prefer a glass lid as well so I can re-use it. The metals lids require too much care. Be sure your containers have a wide mouth.
The glass container I used for these pickles was a 2 quart container. That means you might need a recipe and a half of the brine per two quart container.
Clean all veggies — those you are pickling as well as the dill and peppers.
Put plenty of fresh dill in the bottom of the container along with garlic slices. Add veggies, layering if appropriate, fitting in more dill and garlic slices wherever you can.
Top off with more dill and garlic.
Pour brine over the contents in the jar until it reaches the top of the jar. Be certain everything is completely submerged.
Close the lid and place in the refrigerator for at least two weeks.
These pickles will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 months. I have had them as long as six months. They still seemed fine, but I thought it best to make a new batch. Usually they don’t last more than a couple of weeks in my house. | 2019-04-24T22:16:10 | https://vegetatingwithleslie.org/?cat=10 |

Let’s briefly look at basic modern economic theory. It is centered around the concept of scarcity – society has insufficient productive resources to fulfill all human needs and wants. This theory affects our business practices. To navigate the scarcity of resources, we often focus on transactions to try to get what our business needs from customers, employees, investors, and other stakeholders, as quickly as possible. And, when we treat each other as transactions, we forget that we are humans who need connection to each other.
To achieve connection, we need to focus more on creating relationships, not just handling transactions. This is a process that starts from within ourselves and becomes a virtuous cycle that supports sustainable development of our businesses.
I am not going to deny that there is scarcity of resources. On a global level, we can see this with climate change, and in our businesses, we have very real challenges in generating cash flows. That being said, our ability to create and maintain relationships has a lot to do with our mindset around scarcity and its impact on our decision-making.
When I was in my 20s and early 30s, I was afraid of spending money – to the point of staying in a job I didn’t enjoy and hoarding cash – so that I would be ready to retire one day. As I got older, I noticed how this scarcity mindset affected my ability to live in my values and the relationships I had with people. A little at a time, I started to practice shifting that mindset – making time to take care of myself and be with family and friends, being more generous with spending in my local economy, and ultimately, risking some savings to develop this business. I find that every time I bring greater alignment between my mindset and values and act with that integrity, I receive more from relationships.
Relationships don’t just happen. We need to start investing in individuals before they become customers, employees, investors, or other stakeholders. And, it doesn’t stop there – we need to be consistent in our commitment and effort to investing in these relationships every day.
We start investing in our accelerator members from the time we receive their applications. We have a one-hour, preferably in-person, consultation with every applicant, so we can get to know each other and explore their business vision, goals, and challenges. Rather than interview, we focus on how we can best serve their businesses, providing them with guidance regardless of their decision to come into our classes. We may even connect them to a different entrepreneurship program that can better serve their needs. By investing in applicants from our first interactions, we build trust.
Because we put a ton of effort into building our businesses, we might fall into the trap of thinking it’s solely ours – this is my idea, they work for me, it’s my financial gain – when it’s not all about us. On some level, people are drawn to our businesses because they want to feel a sense of belonging, like they are part of something larger than themselves. When people feel like they belong, they are more engaged in supporting your business. We can foster that belonging by stepping one foot out of our individualism and nurturing community.
Members tell us the most powerful thing about our accelerators is the community. This started with our cooperative model, where members can become owners, sharing in our profits and having a say in how our programs are run. And, as we grew, we layered in opportunities for members to actively engage and connect with each other through online social networks, mixers, skill sharing, and alumni programs. This leads to a lot of feedback from the members on a daily basis. Even when it’s emotionally challenging for us to receive new ideas, our team will listen to and evaluate them. | 2019-04-23T12:14:34 | https://blog.uptimabootcamp.com/create-relationships-not-just-transactions/ |

Recent developments have given researchers real optimism that advances in treatment could be on the horizon—at last.
For Michael Tsun, the first sign of trouble came late in 2012, when the Fairfax County, Virginia, resident began feeling pain in his shoulders and around his buttocks. Soon thereafter, Tsun and his physician took aim at polymyalgia rheumatica (pmr), a pain syndrome that often hits men over 50.
Tsun, then 62, started taking prednisone and methotrexate, two drugs that usually deliver PMR relief after a bit of dosage juggling and side-effect managing. But Tsun decided after six months to stop taking them. He feared that they were causing a new problem with slurred speech. Soon thereafter, his body began making too much saliva, leading to coughing fits and drooling.
Over time, his slurring problems grew worse, and he started breaking out now and again into boisterous laughter at inappropriate moments.
Tsun felt like he had seen this symptom mix before. A pulmonologist with a practice specializing in internal medicine, he had cared for perhaps half a dozen patients over the years with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the degenerative and deadly neurological disorder that many people know better as Lou Gehrig’s disease, after the famous baseball star who died from it in 1941.
Tsun’s ALS patients had also exhibited muscle stiffness, twitching and slurring. He now started wondering if his problems would turn out to be early steps in a frightening journey of physical decline, with leg and arm muscles growing weaker and weaker to the point of total failure, and the muscles he needed to speak, swallow and breathe following suit in short order.
“It was a very sad illness to see,” Tsun says. As a physician, all he could do was be supportive and offer palliative care.
After making this tentative self-diagnosis, Tsun retreated into a shell of denial. He did not share his worries with his primary care doctor, nor did he seek out a specialist who might confirm his suspicions once and for all.
It was Tsun’s wife, Betty, and the couple’s grown son, Matthew, an attorney, who coaxed him out of that shell. They argued that no physician could be objective when it came to a self-diagnosis like this one, and Tsun had to concede they had a point.
But when he did go see a neurologist in the spring of 2014, it turned out that his diagnosis was on the mark. Soon after that, the pulmonologist-turned-patient arrived in Baltimore to see Nicholas Maragakis, co-medical director of the ALS Clinic at Johns Hopkins.
“I was devastated,” Tsun says.
At the moment, there is little that ALS clinicians can offer a new patient in the way of prognostic details. ALS tends to strike people in their late 50s and early 60s. Six in 10 victims are men. Nine in 10 are white. Most patients will succumb to the disease in three to four years. Others die much more quickly. A lucky few manage to hang in there—one in 10 survives for 10 years, and one in 20 makes it to 20.
Clinicians like Maragakis are unable to predict early on which new patients will land on which survival curve. Nor can they give patients reliable warnings about which mix of symptoms is likely for which cases, or how speedy and severe any individual’s decline will most likely turn out to be.
It has been like this for nearly two centuries now. Back in 1824, the Scottish surgeon and philosopher Sir Charles Bell was the first to describe a condition whose characteristics match those of ALS. It was 1874 when the French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot gave the disease a name and pinpointed its cause in neurological problems of a mysterious nature.
It would be wildly inaccurate, however, to say that nothing has been learned about ALS over that long stretch. In fact, the important discoveries from the last few years alone are way too voluminous to catalog here.
Here is the big frustration in ALS circles: that knowledge has not yet turned into clinical breakthroughs that make a big difference for patients. Just one drug, riluzole, is approved for ALS care, and it is of modest value, helping patients live for five or six extra months.
Is there any hope on the horizon that this state of affairs might change at last?
The short answer is yes. There is a palpable sense of hope in ALS science circles these days. And that optimism very much includes a fingers-crossed suspicion that treatment advances are just up ahead on the research horizon.
The excitement is fueled in part by important new discoveries. In recent years, scientists have pinpointed a key genetic cause of the disease and begun sorting through, to an unprecedented degree, the way that mutation plays out inside the brain’s motor neuron cells.
Another source of real optimism is Answer ALS, a new undertaking headquartered at the Robert Packard Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins. Over the next three years, that venture will build a gigantic new information repository with highly detailed data and images from 1,000 patients at five top clinics around the country.
One indication of its prospects: More than $20 million in private financing to support the project has been raised in impressively short order.
Neurologist Jeffrey Rothstein, founder and director of both the ALS Clinic and the Packard Center at Johns Hopkins, is also the architect of this initiative. To hear him describe it, Answer ALS is aiming to spark a revolution in the way scientists look at this and other neurodegenerative diseases—by bringing every scrap of new, 21st-century medical technology and scientific knowledge to bear on solving the remaining mysteries of the disease and developing treatments that really work for patients.
Like many other ALS patients, Curtis Brand, 71, did not hear any alarm bells three years ago in the early days of his encounter with the disease. At first, the weakness in his knees and lower back seemed a minor annoyance. He tried a round of physical therapy. Then came surgery to straighten out a hammertoe.
Brand and his wife, Judy, started to feel genuine alarm when Curtis’ recovery from that foot surgery progressed at a snail’s pace. Soon thereafter, Brand exhibited a kind of twitching under the skin known as fasciculations.
They went to see a neurologist and then traveled to Baltimore in June 2014 to see Maragakis at the ALS Clinic. He is the one who confirmed that Brand has ALS.
At any given time, 30,000 people in the United States are living with ALS. About 6,000 new cases are diagnosed every year, roughly one every 90 minutes. Epidemiologically speaking, the prevalence of ALS is measured at two in 1,000, or 0.2 percent of the population. That number makes it tempting to toss around the word “rare—but that’s not a word Rothstein likes to hear.
Answer ALS (answerals.org) aims to take the science of the disease and move it, quite quickly, into the vanguard of 21st-century medicine. There, familiar and futuristic-sounding buzzwords will come into play—personalized brain medicine, for one, along with big data and machine learning. Rothstein, the co-director of Answer ALS, ticks off a string of –omics that will be in the picture too—genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and more.
“I call it the multi-omics approach,” he says.
But the big idea behind Answer ALS isn’t all that complicated. The best clinics and labs in the land are going to gather up every single image and scrap of information those 1,000 patients have to offer. The result will be a database so chock full of detail that there are multiple hard drives of data on every individual patient.
With help from big-data experts in the private sector, Answer ALS scientists will sort through all that information in search of patterns that reveal newly discernable disease phenotypes, suggest productive lines of scientific inquiry and lead the way, at long last, to breakthroughs at the bedside.
This mix of “big data, comprehensive biological analytics, technology and science would not have been possible a decade ago,” says Clive Svendsen, director of the Regenerative Medicine Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and co-director with Rothstein of Answer ALS.
At this point, a few words of caution seem advisable. Many senior scientists in ALS circles might well experience a touch of déjà vu when it comes to all the excitement surrounding recent discoveries. Back in the heady days of the 1990s, too, it seemed like important breakthroughs were just up ahead on the research horizon.
The first time ALS was linked to a genetic mutation was in 1993. The guilty party was a gene called SOD1, which, when normal, produces an enzyme that helps the brain stay healthy over time. That enzyme is missing when the mutation is present.
This discovery sparked a flurry of research activity, including the development at Johns Hopkins of a mouse model for the SOD1 mutation. That model soon became the testing ground for lots of promising new medications, including the aforementioned riluzole, which was derived from research done in Rothstein’s lab and became, in 1995, the first ALS drug to win FDA approval.
No one would have predicted two decades would go by without a major treatment advance.
Thomas Lloyd was earning his M.D. and Ph.D. at Baylor College of Medicine in those years. He is now a Johns Hopkins neurologist who studies ALS in Drosophila melanogaster, the fruit fly.
“I can remember being in seminars where people at the front of the room were saying things like, ‘Now that we have this gene, it’s just a matter of time before we have a treatment,’” Lloyd recalls.
In the years that followed, however, scientists learned that the SOD1 mutation comes into play in just a tiny number of inherited, or familial, ALS cases. (The bulk of ALS cases are actually “sporadic,” not inherited.) In the two decades that followed the approval of riluzole in 1995, more than 100 other drugs have been tested in the SOD1 mouse model.
Only time will tell if Answer ALS gets the results Rothstein and his colleagues are hoping for, but thanks to a trio of recent advances, the excitement around the project certainly seems built on more than wishful thinking.
The first of these developments came in 2007, when Japanese researcher Shinya Yamanaka showed that skin cells taken from adults could be converted back into stem cells, which can in turn be repropagated and reprogrammed into various other cell types. Yamanaka shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine for that discovery. Much of the attention paid to his advance involves hopes for regenerative medicine strategies that involve delivering healthy new cells to damaged organs.
In ALS, Yamanaka’s discovery plays out differently. Here, researchers are using induced pluripotent stem (IPS) cells as a limitless supply of motor neurons that can be studied in the laboratory as a perfect genetic match for the brain cells in any given patient.
“This is such a big change for us,” Rothstein says. In other illnesses, he notes, taking a close look at what’s happening in the cells of patients is no big deal. “But it doesn’t work that way in neurological disease. I can’t do a biopsy. I’m not going to drill a hole in the skull and draw out tissue; you can cause epilepsy that way. Patients can lose memories or become paralyzed.” IPS cell lines have given neurologists a way around that problem.
A second reason for optimism came in 2011, when two groups of researchers, one at the National Institute on Aging and the other at Mayo Clinic, simultaneously announced the discovery of a mutation in a gene called C9ORF72—C9, for short—that is involved in nearly one-half of inherited cases of ALS, along with 10 percent of sporadic cases.
That adds up to perhaps one-third of ALS cases, an unprecedented development in the field. By comparison, the SOD1 mutation discovered with such fanfare in the 1990s is involved in only about 2 percent of cases. As an added bonus: The C9 mutation is also present in one-third of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) cases. FTD is the second most common form of dementia, after Alzheimer’s.
A third piece in this fast-developing ALS puzzle surfaced in the latter part of 2015, when a team of Johns Hopkins neurologists led by Rothstein and Lloyd reported in Nature that the C9 mutation is no garden-variety affair. For one thing, the mutation lies not in the coding message, where such things usually occur, but rather in a noncoding region, called an intron, which is spliced out of the C9 gene.
“Think about a string of pearls,” Rothstein suggests. “You might assume looking at it that the shiny pearls are where all the action is, right? But the string is important too. It’s holding everything together,” and that string in this case is the intron.
To make matters more interesting, the C9 mutation does not consist, as so many mutations do, of a single isolated coding error. Where a healthy gene might have a sequence of six DNA nucleotides repeating six times in a row, that sequence is repeated “500 times, or even more” in the unhealthy gene, Lloyd says.
Picture what that does to Rothstein’s string of pearls: It’s as if the space between two pearls stretches out over a length of feet or even yards, rather than the few millimeters of gap between pearls in a healthy string.
A long-standing mystery about ALS centers on the decadeslong time lag that allows a mutation present at birth to show up as disease only after 50 or 60 years. The Nature paper includes new twists on that piece of the puzzle.
Those tests pointed to RanGAP, a protein that normally acts as a sort of traffic cop, helping molecules move through “nuclear pores” and out into the cytoplasm of a cell. One reason the problems that arise in the C9 mutation don’t become an issue early in life is that pores become, in Lloyd’s words, “a little leaky over time.” Once that happens, RanGAP starts clumping up outside the nucleus, causing traffic tie-ups that prevent key bits of communication that it was able to facilitate back in its pre-leaky youth.
In Rothstein’s lab, researchers next looked for confirmation of Lloyd’s RanGAP clumping in brain tissue from an autopsy bank of brain tissue taken from ALS patients. They found it, fueling hope that the next research steps will lead to drugs or other therapies that can ease or bypass the clumping phenomenon and allow RanGAP to once again resume its role as the good traffic cop.
The Nature paper served up one more tantalizing, if preliminary, tidbit. In both fly cells and human stem cells, RanGAP clumping started to disappear when bits of RNA called oligonucleotides were added into cells with the C9 mutation. The oligonucleotides seemed to attach themselves to introns in ways that deactivated the problems on those elongated introns in the string of pearls.
“Between the genetic discoveries and using these cellular-based approaches to understanding the disease and developing therapies, it couldn’t be a more exciting time,” Rothstein says. The Lloyd and Rothstein labs have already set up a partnership with a pharmaceutical company interested in pursuing potential therapies, though any such development is still years away from human trials.
ALS clinicians often recommend that patients “lean into” the disease, preparing for its eventualities by taking proactive steps early on. It is much easier, for example, to get fitted for a wheelchair or motorized scooter before you actually need it or get used to technological options for communicating before the power of speech is altogether gone.
The Brands took this sort of approach. Late in 2014, they moved out of a stairway-filled house in Washington, D.C., and into a condo in nearby Arlington, Virginia, which they retrofitted with a number of special design features that are now coming in handy. Curtis has now lost the use of his hands, arms and legs. The Brands participated in the interview for this story over speakerphone because, while Curtis is still able to talk, it can be hard for a newcomer to make out all of his words without assistance from Judy.
Michael Tsun, too, is learning to seek out new ways to make the most of each day. He was devastated to give up his medical practice. It was nearly as difficult to give up golf. The interviews that Tsun did for this story were conducted by email, as he can no longer speak. Unlike Brand, Tsun still has pretty good functioning in his arms and legs.
He has found his way to new hobbies—photography, travel and cooking among them. Since his diagnosis, he and his wife have been to Hong Kong and China, visiting the home villages of family members. They have also been to Vietnam, Singapore and several countries in Europe.
“I really enjoy trying to capture local people in their environs” with the camera, he says. Both the Tsuns and the Brands follow the news on the latest ALS findings coming out of neurology laboratories, but neither is obsessive about it. Like most other patients, the two have also found their ways to strategies that, while still unproven, feel right for their individual journeys. Tsun gets regular acupuncture treatments. Brand followed a ketogenic diet when he was still eating on his own; he is now on a feeding tube.
As modern-day scientific endeavors go, Answer ALS has several unique qualities. It has more of a corporate aura than the standard academic endeavor, with ambitious milestones clearly laid out on a strict timetable for all to see. In addition, the humongous database that Rothstein and Svendsen are coordinating of those 1,000 patients will be an open-source affair, accessible without restriction to researchers around the world. | 2019-04-25T08:53:25 | https://www.answerals.org/2016/02/24/an-answer-to-als/ |

My name is JoAnn Connolly. I am located just north of Boston, Massachusetts, USA. My daughter began Irish step dancing lessons in 1999. Her school was fairly new and at the time she started, her teacher had just begun her search for someone to make school costumes. When she approached the moms in the waiting room to see if anyone knew how to sew, I was the one who raised my hand. I have sewn my entire life and find the creative challenge of making Irish step dancing dresses one I enjoy immensely. My good friend and partner, Sally Ellingsen, and I have created over 300 dresses, both school and solo. I continue on in this passion for what I call “extreme embroidery”.
Please take a look at the Clients' Creativity page for ideas and inspiration. My Gallery shows some past projects.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. I am happy to talk "embroidery" with anyone who might be interested in this service -- whether you're ready to purchase, looking for more information, or just need Irish step dancing dressmaking advice.

NAVIGATION ON THE RIO GRANDE. The first trade vessels on the Rio Grande were flatboats used to conduct trade from Laredo to Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, sometime after 1757. This trade apparently came to an end before 1795, since Félix Calleja, in his inspection report that year, made no mention of it and recommended that a river trade to Laredo be encouraged. In 1828 John Davis Bradburn and Estaben McL. Staples received concessions from Coahuila and Texas, Chihuahua, and Tamaulipas to open the river to navigation. They placed a steamboat on the river, probably to determine the limits of navigation upriver from Matamoros, but were forced to suspend their project in 1829 and to transfer their Tamaulipas grant to Henry Austin. Austin's steamboat Ariel traded between Matamoros and Camargo; in 1830 Austin abandoned the Rio Grande, and his pilot, Alpheus Rackliffe, became the "first navigator of the Rio Grande in American built flatboats." Rackliffe operated six boats; most of their business was downriver from Guerrero. The boats were destroyed in 1842 by the Mier expedition.
Other steamboats appeared on the Rio Grande in 1833 (the Tangipahoa), in 1834, and in 1837 (names unrecorded). It was probably the Tangipahoa that arrived in Laredo in early 1834, the same year that an official Chihuahuan state document said that the river had been sounded from "the mountain" (probably Sierra de la Cola del Águila) to El Paso and found to be suitable for steamboats of 100 to 150 tons. Above El Paso, smaller boats would be required. Although flatboats continued downriver from Presidio del Río Grande (see SAN JUAN BAUTISTA), the first truly successful attempts at navigating the Rio Grande came with the Mexican War in 1846. The quartermaster department of the United States Army bought or chartered more than forty-two steamboats to operate on the Rio Grande between Brazos Santiago and Camargo and sent the Major Brown to Laredo to try to communicate with Presidio del Río Grande. After the war, captains stayed on the river and operated boats for private owners or for themselves. Richard King and Robert Penny bought the Colonel Cross. Mifflin Kenedy skippered the Troy for Charles Stillman, and James B. Armstrong replaced Kenedy when the latter decided to try his hand at trade with interior Mexico. Through a combination of events, Stillman, King, Penny, Kenedy, and James O'Donnell formed M. Kenedy and Company in March 1850. In February 1852 the company received the government transportation contract from Brazos Santiago to Ringgold Barracks (later Fort Ringgold) without making competitive bids or offering a surety bond. In March 1855 the contract was ordered put up for competitive bids. Capt. James B. Armstrong was low bidder and was awarded the bid. The quartermaster department immediately suspended the new contract and continued to use Kenedy and Company boats. Armstrong eventually brought suit and won, but he died before the final verdict was given. Kenedy and Company continued to haul government freight. During the Civil War Kenedy and Company transferred its boats to Mexican registry to avoid Union blockaders. They hauled goods for the South, the North, followers of Benito Juárez, and the French. Severe economic depression followed the Civil War; before the spring of 1865 Stillman withdrew from Kenedy and Company and it was reorganized as King, Kenedy, and Company in 1866. A railroad from Point Isabel (Port Isabel) to Brownsville contributed to their selling out to William Kelly in 1874.
Other owners brought boats to the river. In 1860 Blas Uribe, at San Ignacio, operated a fleet of keel boats with stern sails to haul cotton from Laredo to Matamoros. Irrigation on the upper river was rapidly expanding. By 1874 it was sucking enough water out of the river to lower the channel at Roma by almost three feet. In 1876 Kelly bought the Bessie, a shallow-draft boat that continued in service until 1902 and was taken off registry in 1904.
Voyages of interest took place in 1849, when a Captain Kingsbury took a keel boat to Eagle Pass from Ringgold Barracks; a Captain Easterly followed four months later. In 1850 Capt. Harry Love took a keel boat beyond the Devil's River, as did Lt. W. T. Smith, who also surveyed the river from El Paso to Fort Hancock and found it navigable for 147 miles. In 1874 John Howland and H. T. Hiester took a flatboat from Santo Domingo to Mesilla and declared the river fine for small steamboats. In 1878 Bruce Hunt and Bert Hunt built a small steamboat to tow barges from Alamosa to Del Norte; she snagged on her maiden voyage. In 1902 a steam barge was built in Laredo to haul sugar-refining equipment to San Juan. It hung up on the twin reef below Laredo and its cargo was transferred to keel boats. In 1909 William W. Follett had a special launch built to tow working houseboats. By then, irrigation had robbed the lower river of so much water that rapids had appeared between Roma and Rio Grande City, and the launch frequently hung up on bars and could not reach Roma. Steamboats were prone to accidents along the Rio Grande. Both the conditions of the river and the design of the steamboats caused much difficulty for these vessels. Accidents occurred as a result of poor navigational skills, lack of attention to conditions, and bad luck. Also dangerous were snags, reefs, bars, the bank, and overhangs. The flatboat trade lasted into the twentieth century; it centered on Laredo, where coal from the mines upriver was flatboated down to Matamoros. Barges were used even after a railroad was built to the mines, but the high cost of pulling the boats upriver eventually led to their discontinuance.

- Leave Kakariko Village through the north. Wander east, past the Sanctuary, and then south through the rock field. Once you reach grass again, curve around to the right and then back north. Now you're on Eastern Palace territory. Don't neglect to enter the cave near the entrance if you're feeling down, as a Great Fairy is waiting inside.
- To the east of the entrance is, at this point, more or less an extensive dead end. Don't bother going there just yet.
- Climb the first set of stairs to your right. In an alley a little more to the right and up north you'll see a rupee flanked by two statues. These will come to life and attack you if you try to pass through them. Easy to beat, just worth noting.
- Climb the main steps and check out the door in the north. Note the conspicuous signs. Hmmm.
- Ravio will ask you a question when you get back. Answer with the bow and arrow symbol.
- Ravio will give you the Rented Bow. Note the word 'Rented' in there, because it will come back to haunt you if you die. Note, too, that the Bow uses a magic meter of sorts rather than a set number of arrows. This allows for unlimited shots, but you'll have to wait for it to recharge.
- Back to the Palace. Stand atop the pedestal near the locked door flanked by Ravio's signs. Shoot the two dimmed crystals here to open the door.
- At the bottom of a pit beyond is a small building. You can't get into it via the front door, really, so don't bother.
- Check the northwest corner of this courtyard, on the walkway above the building. Stairs lead up here to a ledge, watched over by more living statues. Kill them and to the east you'll find 20 rupees in a chest.
- Hop down and head south. Follow this path up the bluffs, beating off enemies as you go, until you find the entrance to the interior of the Eastern Palace. Now the fun begins. Listen to Osfala boast, save at the weather vane, and head inside.
- You'll start in a room with a door in the east and a door in the west. South of the eastern door is a conspicuous floor tile. Step on it to open the door ahead. You'll find a few rupees beyond. Be careful not to fall into the pit.
- Back to the first door. Beyond the central pit is a crystal you can hit with an arrow. Doing so opens a northern path.
- Follow it two screens to a room filled with rolling iron balls. Weave between the balls as you head north, hiding in niches if any huge balls come along. Once you're past the balls, you can sweep to the left and back south to find some rupees (and a trap which will knock you back into the ball corridor) or simply go through the western door.
- Beyond is a battle with a few squidy things. Very easy. Killing them will make a chest appear, though you can't reach it. Head south through the next room and up the stairs to reach the chest, which contains a Compass. The Compass displays the location of this dungeon's boss.
- Head back south and look nearby for another conspicuous floor tile. It will open the door to your right. Before going through, though, return to the room with the chest and approach the north end of the raied platform it's on. There's a hidden passage leading into a small area with another floor switch. It will reveal a chest containing 20 rupees.
- Return to the ball room and walk across the mesh bridge over the ball corridor. North of two statues is another switch which will open the door on the east wall. Beware, as hitting it will bring one of the statues to life.
- Beyond this door is a room with a rising platform. To the left of it is an orb switch on ground level; to the right is an orb switch on a raised level, reached when the platform rises. Hit both with arrows as quickly as you can, then run north to get at the chest which is now within reach. It contains a Small Key.
- Leave through the top door. Use the Key on the locked door in the ball room.
- You'll come out in a room with a button. Step on the button after charging up your sword attack and four statues will come to life. Use a whirling attack to drive them all back, then wipe out any survivors with quick strikes. After they're gone you'll open up a warp returning you to the beginning of the dungeon, which is handy for saving.
- ... you'll find a room full of rolling iron balls. Run west to find a switch, and stand on it until the nearby stairs have fully cycled into existence. Run up them while they're moving back into the wall, run across the walkway when there's no giant iron ball in your way, and run south to see another floor switch. Standing on it reveals another switch, which will unveil a chest containing more Monster Guts. South of the chest is another switch which will open the door into the southern room.
- Either way (preferably both), you're now in a large, southern room. Approach the huge door in the middle and shoot the orb to your left to make a nearby platform move, then head to the left side of this triple-pronged platform and shoot diagonally up and to the right to hit a second orb. This will open a door to your right. Hop down beside this orb and shoot the one on ground level next to it to make another platform rise and fall. Use it to get into the door you just unlocked.
- Hop on one of the rotating platforms in this room. Use your Rental Bow to activate the four orbs in the middle of the room. Watch out for trap arrows as you move around the central platform. Once all four orbs are activated you'll unveil a chest containing a Small Key.
- Return to the large, central room and use the Key on the locked door in the west.
- Inside this room you'll be treated to a battle with some skeletal warriors. They like to leap away from your sword swipes, so you can kill them either by cornering them or using arrows. After killing all three you'll unlock a huge chest containing a Big Key. Ooooooooo.
- Before charging straight to the door, go up the stairs in the south of the chest room to find an orb. It unlocks another orb in the southern room of this floor. Stand on the rising and falling platform for a clear shot; this will open the way to the boss' room. Save if you feel anxious, then step inside.
Woo, first boss fight! This one isn't too bad. Yuga has two attacks: he'll either summon three soldiers to attack you or he'll unleash a four-way lightning bolt attack, the latter of which is telegraphed by lines through the room. You can easily bypass these attacks by immediately shooting across the room at Yuga with arrows. Once he's down, rush in with your sword and do some swiping. Yuga likes to retreat into the walls as portraiture occasionally, but it's pretty easy to follow as he moves around.
- Once the scene is completed, you'll gain access to the special ability of Ravio's Bracelet, which allows you to temporarily merge with walls. Cool. Grab the Heart Container, then use this ability to slip through the crack in the wall and reach the outside of the Eastern Palace.
- Head right along the wall to emerge on the western edge of the Eastern Palace. Use your weird portraiture ability to make your way down, merging into walls to escape disappearing floors and to cross moving barriers. Look for cracks in the walls that you can slip through to proceed. Go north along the wall from the first such crack, before slipping through, and you can find a chest containing 50 rupees. You'll soon wind up back on the first floor, and, then, outside the dungeon. Huzzah!
- Once back outside some crazy doins will transpire, and you'll be outside Hyrule Castle. The Charm will turn into the Pendant of Courage, and you'll have a new quest: finding the other two Pendants. Sounds like a plan.
Once you have the Pegasus Boots, check out the rock field to the west of Eastern Palace. Sitting atop the right-most rock in this field is a Maiamai, just waiting to be dashed off of its perch.
Also once you have the Pegasus Boots, check out the line of five trees south of Eastern Palace. If you dash into the far right tree you'll find another Maiamai.
Check out that little building you couldn't access earlier, southwest of the main building of the Eastern Palace. You can slip past the bars by merging with the wall. Inside you'll find a path of moving cubes. Merge with the cubes and make your way up to the treasure chest, which contains 100 rupees. It's a fairly simple matter of careful timing and coming out of merged state over ground to get to the top.
Merge with the wall that comprises the foundation of the ground the Eastern Palace's main building is sitting on. Walk north to reach a treasure chest containing 100 rupees.
Merge with the wall north of the four posts blocking 100 rupees in the south of the Eastern Palace grounds. From here you can reach a Maiamai.
In the south, on the path leading to Lake Hylia, is a tree with a Maiamai sitting atop it. Dash into it using the Pegasus Boots to bring the critter down.
Near the Palace's entrance on the west side is a solitary rise in the land with a chest on top. Use the Hookshot to launch over to it, via a wooden pole, and you'll net yourself 20 rupees.
With the Power Gloves equipped you can access the eastern-most ramparts of the Eastern Palace by tossing aside some rocks. Look for a bundle of boulders to blow open with a Bomb and you can merge your way over to a Heart Piece in the resulting cave.
Head one screen south of the Eastern Palace, to the canyon area just north of Lake Hylia's northeastern boundaries. There's a fenced in Heart Piece here that you can get at with the Hammer. Three steps north of it is a cave you can blow open with a Bomb to find a fairy fountain.
Merge with the cliff near the entrance to this area and make your way south along the western wall. It leads to a cliff edge where you'll find a large rock. Heave the rock out of the way to find a Maiamai. | 2019-04-18T16:17:11 | http://www.arrpeegeez.com/2015/12/the-legend-of-zelda-link-between-worlds_48.html |
Abstract—The problem of minimizing queueing delay of opportunistic access of multiple continuous time Markov channels is considered. A new access policy based on myopic sensing and adaptive transmission (MS-AT) is proposed. Under the framework of risk sensitive constrained Markov decision process with effective bandwidth as a measure of queueing delay, it is shown that MS-AT achieves simultaneously throughput and delay optimality. It is shown further that both the effective bandwidth and the throughput of MS-AT are two-segment piece-wise linear functions of the collision constraint (maximum allowable conditional collision probability) with the effective bandwidth and throughput coinciding in the regime of tight collision constraints. Analytical and simulation comparisons are conducted with the myopic sensing and memoryless transmission (MS-MT) policy which is throughput optimal but delay suboptimal in the regime of tight collision constraints. | 2019-04-22T01:59:45 | http://www.sciweavers.org/publications/delay-optimal-multichannel-opportunistic-access |

Twenty-one years ago we struggled with the recognition of difference within the context of commonality. Today we grapple with the recognition of commonality within the context of difference… Activism is the courage to act consciously on our ideas, to exert power in resistance to ideological pressure—to risk leaving home. Empowerment comes from ideas—our revolution is fought with concepts not guns, and it is fueled by vision. By focusing on what we want to happen, we change the present. | 2019-04-20T07:00:37 | https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1057/9780230370319_7 |

Its the beginning of a new year, and with a new year we give way to new colors. Colors change every year, but some colors are classic, and never go out. In the hotter seasons we move on to bright colors, whereas in the colder seasons we embrace the warmer and neutral colors. Trends are however changing, and its even appropriate to wear something bright in winter and I love that because who wants to wear cool and neutral colors when you can spice things up and still look super gorgeous.
Rose Quartz is a very subtle but appealing color. Its soothing and calming, and it can be bold if worn correctly, I absolutely adore this shade. Rose Quartz is a rosy pink, and its intensity can vary from a pale gentle tone to a compassionate rose red hue. This shade of color can be worn differently according to the season and ones skin tone.
It would work well with Peach Echo, Serenity and Lilac Gray.
I love this color, and I’m super excited to be wearing it this year. This tropical color is a mixture of natural flavors of White Peach and Mango, which resulted into the beautiful tropical color known as Peach Echo. This color has a slight undertone of Rose Quartz but its definitely bolder and slightly more daring. This shade contains warmer qualities.
It could work well with Rose Quartz, Serenity and Lilac Grey.
Serenity is a cooler shade of blue, its a pretty shade of blue, a kind of baby blue that emanates coolness and serenity. It gives one a feeling of calmness, its weightless and airy .
It would work well with Peach Echo, Snorkel Blue and Buttercup.
Another shade of blue on the Pantone Color Report, this shade however is different from Serenity. This color is relaxing but not as relaxing as Serenity. Snorkel blue emanates boldness, confidence and royalty. With the striking undertones, the color speaks for itself.
This color would work well with Peach Echo, Buttercup and Iced Coffee.
Buttercup as seen on the runway.
Buttercup, also known as a vibrant yellow, contains distinctive characteristics which makes it different from the usual yellow. It has colors of gold yellow, yellow, green. Compared to the other shades, Buttercup is bright and cheery.
It would work well with Snorkel Blue, Serenity and Lilac Gray.
Yet another shade of blue, quite different to the other shades of blue. Limpet shell is a shade of aqua, it emanates calmness. Its one of those light and airy colors. It gives one a feeling of being carefree, and its absolutely dreamy.
It would work well with Peach Echo, Rose Quartz and Iced Coffee.
Lilac Gray is an in-between shade, made up of elements of Lavender and Gray. Its a soft, calming color that emanates elegance. Lilac gray has an undertone of lilac, thereby giving an edge to the classic gray. Lilac Gray can be worn all year round.
It would work well with Green Flash, Iced Coffee and Fiesta.
Fiesta as seen at Marissa Webb S/S 16.
Fiesta is a bold hue with an undertone of yellow, its a mixture of red and yellow, not as fierce as red but rather more vivid. It celebrates color, encourages adventure, and screams excitement. This color is definitely for the bolder, that thrive on making a statement.
It would work well with Limpet Shell, Snorkel Blue and Green Flash.
Iced Coffee is a perfect balance of the natural shades, its a light, subtle shade of a creamish brown. Its a strong neutral color that can be worn throughout the year. It contains natural and earthy qualities with a touch of subtlety.
It would work well with Rose Quartz, Serenity, Lilac Gray.
The color Green Flash has been taken from the flash of green that occurs for a second or two at sunset as the sun changes color. This hue is natures representation of the environment, that has become quite persistent in the fashion industry.
It would work well with Serenity, Snorkel Blue and Limpet Shell.
Each color on the palette is unique, although it has been predicted Rose Quartz and Serenity will be ruling 2016.

I was first introduced to Kasia's portfolio last month, after running across her work on the Polish design site/store Pan Tu Nie Stal and have been smitten ever since! I really love her ability to move in between the sweetly retro and the slightly odd with such ease. Her work is full of so many humorous and colorful details that you don't even need to speak Polish in order to understand the images. The illustrations tell their own story.
I’ll let Kasia take it from here, but I wanted to first thank her for sending such an interesting story and recipe, one that I'm sure you'll want to try at home!
From Kasia: "Blok" (cake) was made in my early childhood, when there was nothing to buy in Polish shops! People dreamt about chocolate, and one day someone cooked up BLOK! It's one of my favourite memories! I'm not sure if it will taste as good for people who are not devoted emotionally to it, but I hope you like it!
You can find Kasia's books on various Polish Web sites, like this one. You can also see more of her illustrations by clicking here. Thanks, Kasia! There are more illustrations after the jump.
Wonderful illustrations (for children and adults alike!).
I love the whimsy in these designs. They can't help but make ya smile.
What beautiful illustrations! You have such a fabulous eye and always find the best things on the internet!
i love this stuff, as you know! | 2019-04-26T15:46:09 | http://dessertgirl.blogspot.com/2009/11/mixing-bowl-blok-by-katarzyna-bogucka.html |
Today I'm back with another fashion illustration. This one was inspired by one of my old outfits. I drew it back it 2017, but I didn't manage to post it before. The medium is watercolour (and pencil) on paper. It features an outfit composed of a denim skirt, a flared sleeved top and heels. I love denim skirts, but this one especially. I have had it for a while now and I still wear it regularly. How do you like denim skirt? Do you own one?
Another thing I love is flare sleeves and heels. Nothing like them to add some drama in an outfit. As long as I'm remembering about this outfit, I might also mention this caramel bag. It proved to be a good purchase. It is surprising how caramel seems to go well with everything. I told you (in my last post) that I've been craving red lately. I'm trying to come up with a lovely red outfit so do wish me luck. Thank you for reading and have a lovely day! | 2019-04-21T17:01:50 | https://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/2018_02_07_archive.html |

These 2 day workshops are limited to 6 participants. They are largely experiential and work with embodied process to explore how our prenatal and birth experiences may be unconsciously influencing us in our adult lives. Individual sessions are supported by the empathic holding of the group.
Have you ever wondered about your birth and womb life?
It is often assumed that these early events have little or no impact on us. Yet these are formative experiences that profoundly shape our sense of who we are and what sort of world we live in. Our greatest journey occurs in the first few months of biological life and we live with its consequences from then on. Unresolved prenatal and birth trauma operates below the level of conscious awareness in a number of ways, generating habitual behaviours and belief systems that undermine our capacity to respond fully to the possibilities available in the present moment. Many of the stresses we feel in our lives as adults echo with earlier experiences when we were extremely vulnerable and we find ourselves thrown back into states of helplessness. Understanding and resolving these early traumas helps us to make changes at the deepest levels.
The workshop runs over two days and the group size is restricted to no more than 6 participants. Each participant has the opportunity for their own session, which is led by the facilitator and supported by the group. The supporting of each other’s processes in the group environment helps to generate empathy and self-compassion towards these vulnerable aspects of who we are. The supportive role can be as transformative as our own individual sessions.
Sessions are led by paying attention to and following subtle body processes and arising imagery. We listen at the level of the soul to what needs to be integrated into our lives in our journey towards wholeness. Each day a short session of ‘shamanic drumming’ helps participants to access deeper states of consciousness. Time for integration is given at the end of each session and at the end of the workshop. Workshops are held with a deep respect and empathy for both the process of the individual and the needs of the group.
The lead facilitator for our forthcoming workshops is Jenni Meyer.

Several major retailers have joined forces to try to reduce the number of plastic bags they give away at their tills through 'The Reusable Bag Campaign'. A six-week pilot scheme is being launched in Edinburgh today and Bristol tomorrow.
The campaign will encourage customers to 'Choose to reuse' durable bags for their supermarket shopping, to help reduce the uptake of plastic carrier bags.
With direction from the Waste Resources Action Programme (WRAP), the campaign was set up by a group of large supermarket chains with help from the British Retail Consortium (BRC), Scottish Retail Consortium, Scottish Waste Awareness Group (SWAG) and the Scottish Executive.
The pilot schemes will include extensive local promotions including roadshows at key stores.
WRAP head of innovation Dr Richard Swannell said: "The challenge for us is to encourage shoppers to remember to take their shopping bag with them each time they go out, in the same way that they would take their keys or purse."
According to WRAP 80% of us currently put everything into free carrier bags during our main shopping trips, a figure it hopes to see reduced. The pilots will independently monitor consumer attitudes before and after the campaign, as well as the take up of carrier bags and sales of reusable bags. Results are expected in December and if successful broader campaigns may be drawn up. | 2019-04-26T01:48:57 | https://www.mrw.co.uk/home/retailers-promote-bag-reuse/3002670.article |

Silverton, CO – February 3, 2012 – As a company on the leading edge of design and innovation in the snowboard industry, it’s no surprise that Venture Snowboards, based out of Silverton, Colo., is once again pushing the envelope. For the winter 11.12 season Venture is launching the Shape Shack – an experimental division of the company charged with dreaming up new and innovative board shapes.
“The idea is to take a bit of a mad scientist kind of approach, experimenting with designs that might normally be considered too wacky, and then testing those concepts by offering small batch releases to the public,” says Klemens Branner, Venture’s founder and design engineer. Branner will be heading up the effort, with creative input from big mountain legend Johan Olofsson and the product testing team at Silverton Mountain.
The Shape Shack concept is being launched this February with a late season release of Venture’s first two experimental shapes. The Euphoria pow surfer boasts rocker, reverse sidecut and a swallowtail and is designed to excel when surfed bindingless. Both a solid and split version are available in a single length option of 162 cm. More size options will be available next season when the Euphoria becomes part of Venture’s standard board lineup. The Zelix is a directional twin that’s a cross between the company’s popular Zephyr and Helix models. It is available as a solid board only, in three sizes: 158/25, 162/25 and 163/26. A limited number of these special boards are now available through the company’s Webstore, and are expected to sell out quickly.
Founded in 1999 by the husband and wife team of Klemens and Lisa Branner, Venture is an independent, grassroots manufacturer based in Silverton, Colorado. All of Venture’s boards are handcrafted from scratch in their Colorado factory, with premium materials and meticulous attention to detail. The company pursues a dual mission: to produce superior performance snowboards while minimizing environmental impact. For more information call 970.387.5078 or visit www.venturesnowboards.com.
Venture Snowboards is a grassroots manufacturer that has been handcrafting superior performance freeride boards and splitboards from scratch since 1999. The company offers five board models including the Zephyr for all-mountain freeride, the Helix for big mountain freestyle, the Storm for freeride and powder, the Odin, a signature board by Johan Olofsson for big mountain riding, and the Euphoria for pow surfing. All boards are available in solid and splitboard versions, and are built in the company’s Silverton, Colorado workshop using sustainably harvested hardwoods, castor bean topsheets and wind power.

As I walked over to his court, thoughts flooded my head. His father was sitting on the bench and I had noticed earlier they were practicing. I let the boy take the ball out first and the game was on.
We both missed our first few shots. Then I drove to the basket with ease and finished a lay up. He put up a 10 footer and sank it. We went back and forth a bit. He drove to the basket for a lay up and I blocked him. Another time, he drove and I blocked him again. I stood at least 6 inches taller than him but this boy had game.
Let’s back track and relate to life a bit. We all know you never want to be the smartest person in the room. If you are, find a different room. The same for a room goes for the basketball court. You never want to be the best player on the court, if you are find better competition. In this case, this wasn’t about me. This was about this boy, John. John was his name.
We sat down on the bench. The boy on one end, his father in the middle, and me off to the far side. The dad made a few remarks. The boy bickered back and they were in a “hussy-fit” together about his play. I sat quietly and listened.
He walked over with his ball and started to walk towards the 3 point line while I was standing near the free throw line practicing shots still. He bounced his ball in my direction as he continued to walk towards the three point line as if he was going to take the ball out first again. His dad very loudly and sternly yelled, “He won! It’s his ball first!” Tension was rising a bit and I stood their very calmly waiting for his dad to coach.
We played and I didn’t say much but my actions spoke louder than words. This second game was a learning lesson for him. We played and I turned up the hustle more. I noticed after a few drives he had no left. I started to guard him on defense favoring his right side. I was forcing him to use his left. He liked to shoot three’s (thanks Curry) so I forced him to drive by locking up his three. I continued to swat him when he drove but by no means he could play. He played well. His dad continued to coach the entire time we played. The second game was over.
We sat on the bench, just as before. The boy said, “Good game.” Respectfully, I replied, “Good game.” His dad continued coaching about his shot, practicing, and driving to the hoop. Afterwards, I packed up my things and went over to John. I looked him in the eyes and extended my hand for a shake.
And I walked off. I could’ve said more but my coaching was the actions on the floor. His dad was working with him and I only wanted to leave him with one coaching remark. More importantly, I wanted him to know how old I was. I figured he was around 14 but I knew for him (and his dad) to know how old I was would help boost his self-esteem. Sometimes you have to know your place. Know your lane. Know why you are doing something and do it for the right reasons. Sure, I could’ve gone into it thinking, “This is about me and I’m going to beat up on this kid.” Be intentional with your day, your actions, and thoughts. Understand it’s not about you. Parents know this all too well but those of us who aren’t parents it’s important to play selflessly sometimes.
In life, when you are the big kid on campus… think… how can I make everyone else feel bigger than me. | 2019-04-23T03:08:06 | https://freddiesilveria.com/2017/09/25/selfless-play/ |
When it comes to the things that can make or break an event, couple of are as important as the quality, taste and look of the food and drinks you serve. A lot is riding on your choice which catering service to employ, and if you believe this choice truly isn’t really that crucial, look at it by doing this, amazing catering can save an event that’s on the rocks, however bad catering will usually send guests to the doors.
In addition, since catering is typically the # 1 or # 2 line-item cost for the majority of occasions, the catering service you choose is also a substantial financial decision and can affect how much money you have actually left over to invest in other areas depending upon food expenses and quantities.
Add in the fact that catering services can vary drastically in their prices and the kinds of meals and services they offer, and the process of picking a catering service can figuratively and actually seem like you are comparing apples to oranges.
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this came up over and over and over again, generally because how responsive and interested a caterer is throughout your preliminary discussions is indicative of how they will carry out throughout the length of their agreement with you (and more on contracts later on).
A prospective caterer ought to be finding out as much as they can about you in your very first couple of discussions with them, so you ought to expect them to be talking and asking questions about 20% of the time and you providing responses and outlining your requirements about 80% of the time.
So when interviewing your Southbank caterers (and you should talk to at least 3 caterers for any event with a reasonable budget plan), you have to specify about the type of event you are preparing and the type of food and/or presentation you are anticipating. Otherwise, you may wind up picking a caterer who simply isn’t really a great fit for the type or style of your occasion.
Almost every caterer has a standard menu or menus to pick from, and many do provide some level of built-in flexibility to adjust these menus to your particular needs by substituting specific items and/or tailoring others.
Nevertheless, the standout catering services will exceed standardized menu options and want to produce remarkable fare that matches a lot more specific style and dietary requirements.
Some people shy away from asking to sample the particular items they want for their occasion due to the fact that it appears like a trouble for the catering service, however it is standard to request for a sampling of what you are intending to order before you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can request wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your event (once again, be prepared to pay a cost, it’s a small price to pay to ensure you choose the ideal catering service). And when you are tasting the food, also attend to how it exists, as any catering service who takes the time to properly show a sample will probably be most likely to make that type of effort on your occasion day.
You may be in for a surprise if you hire a BARBEQUE take-out joint to cater an official ballroom charity event. Or if you choose a high-end business occasion caterer to serve a barn wedding event. Why? Because these caterers might not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
Even more conventional venues can likewise have constraints that caterers need to follow, like specific setup standards or disposal constraints for waste food and water, so having a caterer that is familiar with a venue’s guidelines can possibly save you great deals of trouble on occasion day.
The caterer’s contract should plainly spell out exactly what food, drinks and services the caterer will be supplying on the designated day( s). Furthermore, it must secure you from non-performance as much as it secures the catering service from non-payment/default, so you might wish to consider having a lawyer} take a look at it before you sign it.
Every detail ought to be included in the agreement, included chosen menus, number of portions and/or people to be served, beverage/bar service information (if appropriate) and all rates and additional services.
No caterer in Southbank with a shred of self-respect and scruples participates in a contract with plans to bail at the last minute, but you need to ensure there is a cancellation stipulation in your contract simply in case your caterer needs to cancel.
Naturally you will have to look into the catering services in Southbank you are considering, and it’s always good to begin online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, do not stop there, as online reviews are not always trustworthy (or perhaps authentic); for example, a great caterer might have had a couple of nightmare/hater customers who alter their ratings, while a genuinely average caterer might have padded their online reviews. So see if you can locate some previous customers of the caterers you are thinking about and connect to them.
Every catering service we spoke to called insurance protection “a provided” for caterers, and you certainly don’t wish to legally be on the hook for some oversight or mishap that was the fault of your catering service.
Remarkably, for how long a catering business in Southbank has actually been in business may not be as important in picking a terrific caterer as you may think. | 2019-04-24T12:46:08 | https://seizan.com.au/cocktail-party-catering-southbank-vic/ |
This project took me a long, long time to complete, but I have to say it was well worth it. I'm the type of person who has her go-to favorite films, and I always have been. When I was little, my parents can attest, I forced them to watch Peter Pan, The Aristocats, and Fantasia until every line was memorized and could be recited back a cappella. In adulthood, I'm not *quite* that consistent, but I've certainly turned to You've Got Mail on many a sick day (or many a it's-chilly-outside-let's-stay-in day, or a it's-a-choice-as-an-in-flight-movie day...), and I saw Creed three times in theaters and Rogue One twice.
As someone who attended film school, though, I knew the importance of widening my horizons — I'd seen it happen, where I'd watch a film or get some context for a movement and suddenly a whole new world of art and influence revealed itself to me. So, I basically took a blindfold and a dart (not literally, but in essence) and went through a long list of Criterion Collection films, and picked out as diverse a group as I could. My own "30 Before 30" list, with a mix of documentaries I'd heard of and Douglas Sirk films I hadn't. I tried to pick films from different eras, in different languages and from different countries. Some films were jaw-droppingly bananas, some were depressing, and some were downright nails-on-a-chalkboard bad. But there were a few that absolutely thrilled me, that I count among my all-time favorites now, and that made the whole project worthwhile. Instead of giving blog space to those films I never intend to see again, I'm going to call out my favorites so you can get thee to iTunes (or, in some cases, a movie rental store) and dig into these enriching gems.
This was the last "film" I saw, and one of the most educational and enriching I invested my time in. I put film in quotations because, as it turned out (and as I did not know when picking this for my list), this was a box set with 4 discs, including a number of histories of Robeson, plus 7 of his movies (two silent films, four "talkies" and a documentary he narrated and contributed to financially). I have never been so bowled over by a historical figure, nor made so furious that America white-washes its history to such a degree as to turn Robeson into the "Old Man River" guy. In reality, Robeson was an All-American football hero in college, an angelic bass singer, and a dedicated actor who turned into an activist later in his life. Some of the films in this collection are difficult to watch, because we come face to face with the reality of the roles black actors could get in the 20s. But by the time we reach Jericho, which Paul Robeson Jr. says was his dad's favorite of his own films, we see an artists coming into power over his own art. The Proud Valley is a beautiful, heart-rending look at coal mines in Wales, and Native Land is such a pointed and moving documentary-slash-movie that I'm amazed it's not required viewing in every history class in America (but then, not surprised, as the movie itself points to why it was so downplayed). With accompanying radio interviews with Robeson, and short recollections from his friends, family and influenced actors, if you spend the time with this amazing collection you'll feel you know Robeson, and be so proud that he was an American.
It's Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier, who apparently were together IRL!! But actually, that is the thing I care least about.
""Damn." This was the word that escaped my mouth in the closing lines of "That Hamilton Woman." It's such a devastatingly sad-ending film, and I have so many questions - what about their daughter? What happened to her mom? IS THAT REALLY IT?!? I find it a little difficult to believe that Emma would just throw in the towel, having been such a strong, I-bounce-back kind of woman throughout her life. She is most charming when she's reveling in her own abilities - it's refreshing to see a woman be excited about what she can accomplish. The romance is OK, but I find it a much more interesting character study above all else."
I'd seen the Hollywood-ized Milk, but I wanted a story from those in the trenches, and just as I suspected I found it to be all the more moving. The Times of Harvey Milk weaves Milk's humor and good nature with political realities of his (and our) time. Truly, with heinous acts of aggression like Texas' shameful "bathroom bill," this is a really energizing story that demonstrates both the power of the people when we raise our voices together, as well as the long way we have to go to earn justice for Harvey and all those like him who have died, and continue to die, for freedom and equality.
"This "documentary"/autobiography was fascinating. I love how Agnes tries to document her memories as she envisions them in her mind - fragmented, existing in the present and past at the same time. There was so much in here to love, but particular images that have burned into my brain are the bird mobile in the rain, Demy appearing in the painting near the end of the film, and Agnes trying to be with and understand her family - her lineage - but ending up present but more a ghost. Lovely, kooky, definitely worth seeing."
A love triangle with a dangerous, devil-may-care blonde little rich girl cannon-balling right into the center - and all that gorgeous Sirk imagery.
"Sirk films are known for their visual beauty and imagery (that's why we studied them in film school!) I'd never seen this one, but it was absolutely delicious - perfectly-placed shadows here, reflections in the mirrors there - and the story is so frustratingly heartbreaking but satisfying in the end. "
A posh French pop singer thinks she's going to die, and we follow her throughout her day as she awaits the verdict and lives her life. It sounds drab, but Agnes Verda once again manages to make a female protagonist complicated, endearing, funny and tragic all at once.
"What a fabulous movie! As a story about a life should, it contained joy, mundaneness, devastation, new experiences and all sorts in between. Janet Frame is lovable, pitiable, brilliant and - perhaps above all - a survivor."
"This movie was absolutely enchanting. It's such an interesting take on piety, artistry, life and its meaning. The characters are rich and lovely, and MY GOD, the feast. Even as a vegetarian grossed out by the dead quails, I could appreciate the beauty of it all. What a spectacular film!"
This was my first film that I watched as part of my "30 Before 30," and it set the bar extremely high. It's been almost a year since I watched this film, but there are still so many standout moments frozen in my mind. As many of the comments will tell you, watch for the Rihanna dance sequence ALONE. It made me want to go rent a hotel room and have a sleepover with my best girl friends, too.
"I was so smitten with this film. It's visually dazzling, far more daring than my own coming-of-age, heartbreaking but still hopeful. Marieme (alias Vic) is such a complex character, and you find yourself rooting for her no matter the situation. The moments of pure joy captured with her friends - dancing, joking, cuddling - are ones that encapsulate female friendships. Indeed, the female friendships are the most central, important, strong and pure of the film - gorgeous and captivating."
The BEAUTY of this film cannot be overstated. It was beautiful not simply visually (although this is certainly one aspect of it), but emotionally. Early Summer possessed a richness and nuance I don't think I found in any other film.
"What an absolutely gorgeous, tender film. I love the way the family members relate to one another, the way the female friendships are both loving and teasing, how everyone from the sweet (grand)parents down to the littlest kids have personality and a story. The music is dreamy, the people are nuanced - I adored this film."
This was the second film I watched as part of this project, and the first documentary on my list, and I can't believe I'd gone so long without seeing it.
"This was a fascinating, sometimes heartbreaking, film that really documents how people of color are still viewed as commodities ("meat market") when it comes to sports. You're only as valuable as your talent, and to see how this effects these young men's self-esteem, opportunities and lives is important and difficult. You really love and root for Arthur and William, and you really leave with a terrible taste in your mouth for the basketball system. A must-see."
I LOVE outer space. One of my favorite childhood field trips was to the planetarium to see a map of stars laid out in front of me, and I still love traveling out to the desert or other less-populated areas of the US to check out the view. I knew I was too afraid to ever even try to be an astronaut, but I'm still fascinated by how little we know (and yet how much we know) about Earth's surroundings. If you're even in the same ballpark as me, this film is about to light a fire under you.
"Oh my god. Talk about a movie that instills wonder - the footage from our various trips into space and to the moon were at turns breathtaking, unbelievable and heartwarming - and it was so fun to see these grown men move with childlike wonder through their surroundings, laughing and joking and being just as overwhelmed as any of us. Fantastic."
"What a gorgeous, life-affirming film! Sweet, funny, strange - all the best things life is made up of."
"You know the movie was great when you literally applaud at the end - even after watching it by yourself in your living room. There are so many interesting stories intertwining in "Monsoon Wedding," but of course the central story is a marriage. I think one of my favorite characters in the film is the father of the bride - he is a devoted family man who loves his children fiercely and ultimately makes a brave decision to protect those he loves. The movie is full of joy and sorrow, all the stuff of life. Excellent!!" | 2019-04-21T10:14:38 | http://www.existentialpisces.com/2017/04/16-watch-my-30-before-30-watch-list-of.html |
The resident workers in Cairns have a higher proportion of people using public transport to get to work than Rental, Hiring and Real Estate Services.
Maximising access to employment is a key objective in any economic development strategy. Understanding the modes of transport Cairns's local resident workers use (either within or outside the local area), informs decision-makers about the effectiveness of transport modes, routes and availability of local public transport.
In 2016, there were 1,618 resident workers who caught public transport to work (train, bus, tram or ferry) in Cairns, compared with 54,406 who drove in private vehicles (car – as driver, car – as passenger, motorbike, or truck).
Analysis of the method of travel to work of the resident workers in Cairns shows that 2.2% used public transport, while 75.1% used a private vehicle, compared with 1.0% and 78.2% respectively in Rental, Hiring and Real Estate Services. | 2019-04-21T04:21:30 | https://economy.id.com.au/cairns/travel-to-work?IGBMID=23012&Indkey=23011 |

Bet365 is an incredibly popular gambling site, with more than 19 million users in more than 100 countries. Their bingo site is likely to enjoy the same success. Read on to find out why or discover more info about other top bingo sites here.
Bet365 was founded in 2000 and grew to become one of the UK’s best online gambling providers. The site offers a range of services, including sports betting, poker, casino, slots and of course, bingo. On the whole, Bet365 has won several awards, including the eGaming award for ‘Operator of the Year’. Does their bingo service measure up? In this review I’ll go over the bingo portion of the site and what it has to offer.
The Press Room is the cheapest game on the site. It’s a 90 ball game which costs 2p to play and has a jackpot of £20. Guilty Pleasures is also a 90 ball game, but costs 10p to play and has a bigger prize pot of £50. A Night on the Town is the site’s 75 ball game, and Lucky Numbers is a specials game.
Bet365 doesn’t just do bingo. They offer a wide range of extra games, including slots, scratchcards and casino games. They even have some multi-player games, so you can compete against other members. The whole range of games is huge, with far too many titles to list here, but has everything from classics like Cleopatra’s Chest and Clover Rollover to niche games like Transformers and Thor’s Thunder. The same can’t be said for the range of casino games, which includes only 2; Blackjack and Mini Roulette.
Bet365 is one of the UK’s leading online gambling companies, so of course they provide a great sports betting service. When you’re on the bingo site, just scroll to the very top of the page, where you’ll find a banner of options at the top, and click ‘sports’ to use it. On that page, you can live-stream games and place bets on everything from greyhound racing to futsal. They have a ‘bore draw money back guarantee’, which means that you receive a refund for any bets placed on games that end in a 0-0 score. There’s also a 50% bonus on tennis accumulators. New customers get a 100% bonus on their first deposit up to £100.
You can play Bet365 Bingo on any mobile device by opening your browser and going to bingo.bet365.com and log in using the same account you use for the desktop site. It’s absolutely free to use the site, although data charges may apply if you’re not using Wi-Fi. If you lose signal while playing a game, don’t worry. Your game will continue to play and any winnings will be credited to your account, so you won’t lose out.

For those who want to take their mobile bingo to the next level, there’s a Bet365 bingo app available for download. The app gives you a better experience than the mobile site because it has a few extra features that you can’t access in your browser. There’s an even bigger range of games, exclusive promotions, and a ‘coming up’ feature, which shows when the next bingo games are due to start. If you’re playing on an iOS device, you can use fingerprint recognition to access your account, making it even more safe and secure. You can download the app from the Apple store and Google Play store.

Calm and collected Aussie boat builder Fred Dorrington has been living in the UK for the past four years.
It was during this time that he competed in the UK version of Ninja Warrior, and placed 3rd overall. Paying homage to his Aussie roots, he ran the course in green and gold and had his didgeridoo with him to represent his heritage.
The experience has spurred him on to train harder and become the first Ninja Warrior on his home turf of Australia. In preparation, he has turned his shed into a Ninja training gym, complete with climbing wall, bars, salmon ladder and token table tennis table.
Fred is looking forward to using his experience to his advantage and believes his performance will improve this time around by having his family there to support him. | 2019-04-25T15:46:02 | https://9now.nine.com.au/australian-ninja-warrior/fred-dorrington/89ee38ce-9394-410d-81e5-2bef6d16e825 |
Hyrule Warriors was a fun little spin on traditional Zelda, combining Link's world with the hack n' slash-tastic gameplay of Dynasty Warriors. At E3 this year, a portable 3DS version was announced, and at Tokyo Game Show this year, I was able to get my hands on it.
The good news is that Hyrule Warriors: Legends is pretty much a slimmed down version of the great gameplay and world of the original. The bad news is that the controls don't exactly translate too well to the 3DS, and it's somewhat awkward to maneuver Link and friends on the handheld.
Hyrule Warriors: Legends features some new characters from the Wind Waker series. Toon Link and Tetra were playable at TGS, so I got to give them a spin. Toon Link plays a lot like his non-toon adult counterpart, but utilizing some unique abilities from his own games. Tetra is a kind of ranged character, using a pistol to attack her enemies from afar. They're both quite unique characters, and a great addition to the Hyrule Warriors lineup.
The visuals reminded me of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, and while obviously not as flashy as the Wii U version, still do a great job. Despite having to render dozens of enemies on screen, I never ran into any noticeable lag or slowdowns.
It plays just like the Wii U version, in that you'll have to destroy massive groups of enemies to make your way through the map. The only real problem I had with the gameplay was whenever you switched characters, it would snap you back to wherever that character was last time you used it.
I played the game on the New 3DS, and I have to admit it seems kind of essential. It would be quite difficult to play without the additional c-stick, but even then, well, I've certainly, "expressed my frustrations" with the c-stick in the past, and Hyrule Warriors: Legends is no different.
The bottom line is that if you're looking for a portable version of Hyrule Warriors, this is it. But it's not really much more than that. Hyrule Warriors: Legends will include all of the Wii U DLC characters when it launches next year, along with some new additions like Toon Link and Tetra.
At Tokyo Game Show, it was revealed to be coming out on January 26 in Japan, though we still don't have a solid western date. | 2019-04-24T23:13:58 | https://v1.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/previews/14643-Hyrule-Warriors-3DS-Hands-On-Preview-Tokyo-Game-Show |

Doghouse wanted for Nintendo DS! A dog owner will barter a Nintendo DS she no longer needs for a doghouse that she does need. And she’s making the offer on www.barter-it.ie a new bartering website.
Welcome to the cash-less society. Instead of spending money you haven’t got, you can now swop goods for what you need.
“People can barter what they have for anything they see on Barter-it.ie,” said website founder Finnella Naughton.
For instance, a course provider offered an ante-natal course to a local accountant in exchange for some precious bookkeeping services.
Inspiration for the site came about when Finnella Naughton and a fellow business owner joined forces to negotiate a better magazine-advertising deal for both of them.
“Everyone gained. So now Barter-it has a free community section where people can post and ask for offers on what they have. They are also free to start discussions on whatever they like to discuss. And they can contact like-minded people through Barter-it,” she said.
The distinctive site also has a Members’ Lounge where, for just €40 a year, businesses can register and offer goods and services to one another, away from the public gaze.
“Offers in the Member’s Lounge will be flagged on the forum with the other offers; but to transact a business barter people need to register for the member’s area, so it’s a valuable place to be for anyone in business looking to source goods without cash,” said Finnella Naughton.
Barter-it offers new ways of doing old things: Swopping what you no longer need for what you do need, without bank or credit card charges. It could be the future, today.
Barter-it is a website where goods are traded person to person and business to business.
Anything can be offered for barter and the deal can be done.
There is nothing to lose by offering to barter.
There are no charges for bartering and other than the nominal €40 a year Member’s Lounge for continuous business transactions, everything is free to use.
www.barter-it.ie has been set up to create a meeting ground for business's to trade anything.
By becoming a member of this platform you will be able to increase business and save money in these unsettleing times. | 2019-04-18T23:18:59 | http://www.przone.ie/company/C397329-european-express-logistics-ltd/26-jakes-not-in-the-doghouse-yet-barter-website-launch/?r=R |
Large corporations tend to be very conservative, and in adopting social media for their road warrior employees, they aren’t exactly letting their freak flags fly. This is social media for business travel behind firewalls.
Some corporations are adopting social media for their employees with a twist — private social networks.
PriceWaterHouseCoopers is one, and it is using a rebranded version of the Jive social media tool, calling it Spark.
The goal of rolling out Spark online in April 2012 and now through an app, as well, was to increase adherence with the companies travel policies, to enhance collaboratons with travelers, and keep in touch with them on the road, says Gregory Whitaker, PwC solutions manager and chairman of the GBTA technology committee.
The most popular part of the tool is a Discussion section. “People love to talk about travel, about the program and travel apps,” Whitaker says.
The company can easily post discounts it’s negotiated, and publish all kinds of travel-related information that previously was scattered around the company’s website, Whitaker says.
Lots of companies are introducing these sorts of private social networks. They fear open social networks such as Facebook and Twitter for their employees out of privacy concerns, and because they don’t want to give competitors an edge by knowing where employees are traveling for business meetings. | 2019-04-22T16:02:41 | https://skift.com/2013/08/06/corporations-are-embracing-a-private-form-of-social-travel-sharing/ |
If you can go anywhere…where would that be? “Gorongoza National park”, I replied.
Our 4×4 bush adventures are always sudden and unplanned, but this is who we are. Mother Africa does not plan for us, so the best way to experience her, is on her terms.
Within three weeks, Anton and I, Gerhard and Marlize, were on our way, to a place that has been a dream of mine for a long time. To me, “Gorangoza” was only a name, a park in Mozambique that was used to be rated as one of the world’s most pristine National parks. Like everything else in Mozambique, the park’s eco system suffered severely during the twenty years of political war which ended in the early nineties. We did not expect to see a lot of wildlife. We went to Gorangoza for the adventure, and the mountain. Nevertheless: no risk, is a risk not worth taking. We were astonishingly surprised.
We decided to travel through Zimbabwe, and make a round trip down the coast of Mozambique. We went without a definite road plan, and no reservations. We only went for a week, during September, which is said to be the best time to experience the park. In hindsight, I could stay there forever, and every day can be the best day of the year to be there.
We stayed at Chitengo camp, the only camp open to visitors for now. There is a very expensive private lodge in the park, mainly visited by overseas travellers, who prefer fly-in safaris. Chitengo camp is beautiful and well managed, and the restaurant and bar look like something you would find in the Kruger National Park.
Much to my surprise the park exceeded all my expectations. There is a lot of wildlife. We woke early the next morning for a game drive. The air was still thick from the blanket of fog that was hanging over the plains. We arrived at a well-known spot that made the park famous during its glory days. It was the remains of the sun downer deck overlooking the vast plain. This place was known for its lions.
As the sun baked away the early morning mist we saw life on the plane. And more, and more, and everywhere we looked, even more. There were Waterbuck in vast numbers, Rooibuck, Blue wildebeest, Zebra’s Reedbuck and even Roan’s. The plain was scattered with wildlife, almost like a piece of the Serengeti.
The next morning we were on our way to Mount Gorangoza. All the trees were dressed in their typical multicoloured coat of yellow, brown, orange and red leaves. We travelled for about an hour, where we turned right onto a small 4×4 trail through a local village. In the distance we could see the mountain, its top still covered in clouds.
At the base camp we decided not to do the hiking trail to the top of the mountain, but rather drive up to the assembly point to save some time. Wise, wise decision.
What a wonderful moment. Here I was, standing on the edge of a dream that I have nurtured for years… and then we started the descent. It was about around the second bend of the very narrow walking trail that the thought crossed my mind that this is an unusual steep decent. Five minutes later we were hanging on tree branches and plant roots to secure us from tumbling down the hill like Jack and Jill. The narrow sandy footpath is right on the edge of this mountain, going 950 m straight down. At this stage Gerhard was basically hanging on Marlize to prevent her from slipping down the hill.
We were in the rainforest, and we could hear the thunderous roar of the waterfall to our right. The pathway got progressively worse with every step. I thought about the way up again, and it was at about this exact moment that I realised this could have been a bad dream.
After another 20 minutes we were at the bottom of the waterfall. I looked up to the top of the waterfall, exhausted, and still a bit flabbergasted with my latest outdoor adventure. I have to admit, this was one of the most fulfilling moments of my life. The sun was shining from above, onto the millions of litres of water plunging down onto the rocks in front of us. It looked like someone had just overturned a bucket of shiny crystals, falling down on us. We were strangely quiet, all drinking in the awesomeness of the beauty of this place.
I am not even going to discuss the way up again. I have learned that it is necessary to visit places like this, when you are still in good health, because it could be quite possible to suffer a heart attack on your way up.
All said and done, this is a place that is still hidden from many. Those of us who made the effort to go down to the foot of the waterfall will always have the pleasure of returning to it through the memories captured in our minds.
We headed back to Chitengo, and the sun was already setting. There aren’t a lot of things in life which can ease your mind like an African sunset. No medicine is as good as a campfire, and true boere “boskos”. If you love photography and bird watching you will fall in love with Gorangoza.
Once again I have realised, that a dream, will take you towards it. | 2019-04-19T22:24:15 | http://www.africanadventures.co.za/adventures/2438/ |

Injustice 2 takes the top spot in both countries.
Injustice 2 raced to the top of the charts in the UK for its launch week and now we know it did the same in Australia and New Zealand. The IGEA today released the latest weekly sales charts for the week ended May 21, showing that the NetherRealm-developed fighting game was No. 1 on the all-platforms charts for Australia and Zealand. Weekly sales charts are not released in the US, only monthly charts, so we won't know how the game performed stateside until the middle of June.
Another notable new release was Sony's virtual reality game Farpoint. It opened at No. 5 in Australia and No. 7 in New Zealand.
Below are the top 10 sales charts for Australia and Zealand for the week ended May 14, broken down by platforms. Note that the charts only include physical sales. | 2019-04-24T23:55:28 | https://www.gamespot.com/articles/top-10-best-selling-games-of-the-past-week-in-aust/1100-6450327/ |
This week marks 35 weeks of my pregnancy, 3 weeks to go until my c section and what was supposed to be my last week of work.
My body had a different plan. I suffer from a condition known as vasovagyl syndrome, its not well known and its difficult to describe. Basically different elements can trigger me to faint. Whether it be the heat, pain or stress. For the most part this is managed with medication which ideally I wouldn’t be on during my pregnancy but I can’t function without it. On Monday I suffered from what I can only assume were braxton hicks and the pain and discomfort from these triggered a series of black outs at work.
It has knocked me around severely two days later and I still feel average. I have no energy, zero sleep and really can’t wait for these next 3 weeks to be over.
Has anyone else experienced similarly? Id be very interested to know. | 2019-04-24T16:33:17 | https://beingcalledmum.com/2015/06/ |
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – Kentucky’s agriculture commissioner says sales of the state’s hemp products surged in 2018, as did the amount hemp farmers were paid.
Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles said Monday that Kentucky hemp processors reported nearly $58 million in gross product sales last year, compared with nearly $17 million in 2017. The report is based on a state Agriculture Department review of hemp processor reports.
Quarles says processors paid Kentucky farmers nearly $18 million for harvested hemp materials in 2018, up from $7.5 million the year before.
Hemp processors spent $23.4 million in capital improvements and employed a total of 459 people in 2018.
Quarles says the report solidifies Kentucky’s reputation as a leader in the comeback of hemp, which was removed from the list of federally controlled substances in last year’s federal farm bill. | 2019-04-25T16:01:34 | https://woub.org/2019/03/18/quarles-sales-of-kentucky-hemp-products-surged-in-2018/ |
