Suspected DUI Driver Falls Asleep Behind Wheel at Missoula Intersection
At around 8:00 a.m. Sunday morning police were called to investigate what appeared to be a driver asleep at the wheel.
"Missoula police were called to the intersection of Connery Way and Geary Lane where a citizen had reported that somebody was apparently passed out behind the wheel of a vehicle that was running and in the traffic lane," said police public information Officer Travis Welsh. "The officers arrived after the fire department and EMS were on scene and learned that a 38-year-old woman, Darlene Damm, appeared to be intoxicated."
After police woke her up, Damm was apparently quite vocal, so much so, she ended up getting a disorderly conduct charge when police took her to the hospital.
"Officers transported her to the hospital to administer a search warrant," Welsh said. "Mrs. Damm was using loud and obscene language in the presence of others leading staff to try and isolate her away from other patients who were bothered by her language."
Damm is facing a felony DUI charge this time because she has had four or more DUI charges in the past. | <urn:uuid:0843007d-e782-42e4-bfb9-06179c187f11> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://kmmsam.com/suspected-dui-driver-falls-asleep-behind-wheel-at-missoula-intersection/ | 2019-07-16T03:54:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524502.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716035206-20190716061206-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.992065 | 240 |

I’ve given you ample time to make your list of chores you’d like to accomplish during a typical week.
Did you make your list?
If you didn’t make your list yet, then stop reading. (yeah, whatever. If someone tells you to stop reading, it just makes you want to read even more. At least it does to me.)
If you have made your list, get ready for the next part.
Look at each chore on your list
You need to decide on which day you want each chore to be completed. An example I gave in my last post was this: We empty the garbage on Thursday because the garbage gets picked up on Friday.
Do what makes sense for you, not for me or for your neighbor.
Break it down
This is usually what makes or breaks it for my kids. It’s easy for children to feel overwhelmed at what, to us, seems like a small thing.
If one of the things on your list is clean the bathroom, break it down into smaller steps. This is what we do: Wednesday is the day the kids need to clean their bathroom downstairs. Each child is responsible for a certain task within that chore. I have 4 children who are capable of cleaning, so we’ve divided up “clean the bathroom” into 4 separate tasks: 1. mirror; 2. sink; 3. toilet; 4. sweep/mop.
Every week, it gets rotated so each child does a different task and, at the same time, learns to clean an entire bathroom.
Does that make sense?
By the way, don’t think I’ve forgotten the tub. I have a magic solution for that one I’ll tell you about later.
Another example: Monday the kids need to vacuum their bedroom floor.
Well, the floor needs to be cleared of toys, clothes, etc. before it can be vacuumed. Three of my boys share a room right now so 2 of them clean up the floor and 1 of them vacuums. Then we rotate.
Look at your list. What chores can be broken down into smaller steps? Even if you only have 1 child, you can still break it down. Have the child do part of the chore in the morning before school, the next part after school and the last part right before bed.
Or, you can do it with your child and each of you take half the chore.
There are lots of options here. Again, you need to do what works for you.
Take some time here to really figure out what will work for your family. Play around with different ideas. Enlist your children and spouse to come up with ideas. If everyone has a say in it, it’s more likely that they’ll be on board with it.
OK, that’s it for now. More to come! | <urn:uuid:905e8cb9-d7d5-45dd-a596-4926ba61320c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://organizedbyjenn.wordpress.com/2011/09/06/chores-part-2/ | 2019-07-16T04:52:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524502.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716035206-20190716061206-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.960299 | 603 |
Call her a petite princess or a paranoid neurotic, either way, Anastasia Devlin has the instincts of a chameleon...
“The interactions between Ana and the mysterious Amadeus are delightful. The ending will leave readers longing for more stories about this captivating heroine and her gifted half-siblings.” – Romance Times Book Reviews
Call her a petite princess or a paranoid neurotic, either way, Anastasia Devlin has the instincts of a chameleon. She can disappear into the woodwork, share tea with a queen, or flatten a thug with one swift kick, but what she really wants is to provide her dysfunctional younger siblings with the security of the home she’s been denied.
Instead, she learns her grandfather has died and the family mansion has been usurped by a stranger who never leaves the third floor. Worse yet, her grandfather’s executor has absconded to the Caribbean with the proceeds of their inheritance. If murder hasn’t already been committed, Ana might perpetrate one herself—starting with the annoying spy in the attic.
To keep a roof over her family’s head, she makes a pact with the devil who apparently now owns the home she is determined to win back. While she searches for the absconding lawyer, she agrees to help their landlord locate a mysterious Cambodian—until oddly, the threads of several mysteries begin to twine together—and someone is intent on cutting the cord before Ana comes too close to finding the answers. | <urn:uuid:493194a1-4cfa-4eb3-8163-1a09f1f3cdb6> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://patriciarice.com/books/evil-genius/ | 2019-07-16T05:03:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524502.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716035206-20190716061206-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.964003 | 318 |
DOGOS: A Brilliant Shooting Game for Gaming Enthusiasts. DOGOS PC game is an open-world fast-paced game with a thrilling and challenging gameplay. It requires the player to move through a mechanically enhanced world where some humanoids have captured it for 50 years.
Dogos PC Games Free Download
You are given the role of a pilot, Desmond Phoenix, who is the last DOGOS pilot left on Earth and has to recover Earth back from the humanoids from space. The game is full of explosions, missions, aliens, and bosses. It is an overhead view shooter game, and the player has been given a plane to shoot the aliens force, Zeetnuk. The game involves some fantastic 3D graphics, incredible soundtrack, and a dynamic camera vision.
The story of this game is told in the gameplay, and the player can also read diaries between the missions. The top-down environment consists of situations in which the player has to shoot at the aliens and sometimes choose different paths to protect themselves from attacks.
When the game starts, you have to choose between the difficulty levels and between two ships that you’ll use for the mission. You can also customize the boat according to your likes and preferences. Both ships have different stats, but the skins and weapons are almost the same.
When you start progressing in the game, you can’t move back because moving back can wipe out all the levels you’ve cleared. Overall, the game is a free-roaming type, but you can use the maps too and use various control functions such as rotating and moving in all directions.
You can fire at the alien species and drop bombs at them. The unique weapons are limited, and you have to use them carefully so that they don’t run out when you need them the most.
The gameplay is simple and straightforward, and there are no hard and fast rules or mechanics to master the game. All the levels are based on different locations, and they have open areas connected to high canyons. You’ll also get to explore mountains, lakes, rivers, islands and, of course, the alien base which you have to destroy.
The graphics are fantastic, and the enemies are well-detailed. The bosses in the game are hard to fight. When you are fighting them, there is no health bar given to indicate your health position. Once your game is over, you can start again from the checkpoint. However, if you get beaten by the boss three times, your game is entirely above, and you have to start the level from the beginning
The DOGOS PC game is a brilliant shooting game with a top-down view and free-roaming nature. The boss battles are the most challenging ones, and the levels are overall lengthy and exciting. You can choose the difficulty level according to your experience in the game because the harder levels have challenging missions. The only thing that is annoying is that you can’t play the levels again if you want to practice, but overall, the game is nice with brilliant graphics and intriguing gameplay.

One of my favorite memories from school was in 8th grade. In 8th grade, we took a trip to Washington D.C. and got to visit historical monuments, see historical documents and take tours of the Smithsonian. Time for Kids has come out with Our Nation’s Documents – a book focused on our nation’s history in a way children can relate to.
This is Time for Kids third installment in a series to teach kids about the history of the United States. Our Nation’s Documents offers annotated surveys of American history’s foundational works with up-to-date scholarship and more than 200 full-color photos and illustrations. This guide provides young readers with the basic information they need to know about the establishment of our government, and gives a historical perspective on current political events. This collection of documents includes The Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution with the Bill of Rights and amendments, plus excerpts from the Federalist Papers and much more.
Included are the following documents –
Declaration of Independence
Economic Bill of Rights
There is also a timeline of the documents which shows pivotal moments throughout our history. And with a “Meet the Author” section with each document, your child will learn about the President or Policy Maker that helped create each document. The accompanying photos help to bring the history to life and engage your child.
Our Nation’s Documents is available to purchase at your local bookstore or online.

Southern California doesn’t experience dramatic seasonal changes, but we still enjoy the benefits of fall foliage, from bright colors to extra garden mulch. If you’re inclined to complain about the extra raking, cheer up.
Through a long-term, large-scale experiment, two botanists measured the important role litterfall (leaf or plant litter) plays in providing nutrients to plant life.1 For five years, the researchers worked in a semi-evergreen tropical forest, adding or subtracting different amounts of plant litter to or from different subplots monthly. They tracked trunk growth, litterfall levels, and nutrient concentrations in leaves, litter, and soil.
Their data showed that plots with the greatest quantity of litterfall (up to the study’s maximum), received the greatest enrichment of inorganic nitrogen and nitrates—the keys to forest growth and health. Those plots most deprived of litterfall were also most deprived of these nutrients. Given that a forest’s vitality is directly proportional to the amount of nitrogen nutrients available, optimized litterfall means optimized biomass for the entire planet.
The study’s upper limit on the quantity of plant litter used reflects awareness that too much plant litter can be harmful, preventing seeds from reaching the soil and releasing chemical toxins that hinder bacterial nitrification of the soil.2 If controlled by natural forest fires, such as those caused by lightening, litterfall stays just below that harmful limit.
The fine-tuned abundance of leaf litter in Earth’s forests speaks of thoughtful, intentional design. It also adds one more piece of evidence for the anthropic principle, the observation that the universe and Earth were designed for human life.
Next time you rake the yard be sure to offer up thanks for the Creator’s loving design of trees and falling leaves for our benefit and pleasure. | <urn:uuid:01e99d85-f442-4f55-86d4-5e31d0c9297a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://reasons.org/explore/publications/reasons-newsletter/read/reasons-newsletter/2010/11/01/thank-god-for-falling-leaves | 2019-07-16T04:38:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524502.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716035206-20190716061206-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.930323 | 378 |

As I’ve revealed earlier last week, the Polish nation will receive a brand new Tier VIII Premium heavy tank before the complete branch is introduced into the game.
The Project 51 or Czolg T wz51, was the first draft of a heavy tank made by cadet Tadeusz Tyszkiewicz, developed at the Military Technical Academy of Warsaw in early 1950. The development was terminated at a stage of advanced design.
Wargaming will be testing two iterations of this tank, the first one with more armour and less mobility, which stats you will be able to see further down in this article, and a second iteration where they will test the tank with less armour but better mobility. These tests will determine how the tank will be introduced in the game.

10 Tips to becoming a UX Pro and User Experience Career Advice
Getting started as a UX Designer
I know a lot of people in the UX profession and they almost all have a background in something different. Several of my current and former team members had come from the technical arena as well as the visual design world.
My point is that people join the UX profession from all kinds of backgrounds and educations. Most of these people, if I had to guess, have characteristics that prop them up as a good fit for research/design/testing roles. Some of these characteristics include being curious, having empathy, ability to communicate well with and among teams, are intuitive, and enjoy learning.
UX Design Skills
So, now that you know the type of background needed to be a UX practitioner, let’s look at what a UX professional does day-to-day. There are 3 main areas of User Experience Design. The first is research, the second is interaction design, and the last is user testing.
Each area demands its own unique skill set. You will need to be productive and efficient in several skills for each phase of the design process in order to excel in any of the areas.
I’ve personally been able to work on a wide variety of applications and websites, including desktop and mobile. Depending on the type of work the industry you work in and whether or not the product is customer-facing or internal to the company, you will need to vary your skills in each of the main areas.
The roles will typically span across a variety of digital interfaces. In addition to the types of applications I mentioned above, there are also a lot of new and developing interfaces that are being designed for and will continue to need strong research and design to move the products forward in their respective industries. Some of these new interfaces include smartwatches, smart glasses, like Google glasses, and even refrigerators and other IOT devices.
For any of the listed digital interfaces, a UX practitioner must be versed in the following no matter which area of UX design they are employed. This includes being able to:
- Present solutions and concepts
- Perform and document user tasks
- Build static prototypes/wireframes
- Be collaborative
- Conduct Interviews
- Conduct usability studies
- Create storyboards
- Create user journeys and diagrams
- Perform design reviews and heuristic evaluations
UX Design Education
Just like many people come from a diverse background in their career experiences, they also come from a wide variety with regard to education. The most sought-after degree for a UX professional to be successful, in my opinion, is Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). However, as I mentioned, there are several educational backgrounds you can choose to be successful. Many people come from a background in visual arts, psychology, and communication.
There are also several companies that offer UX certificates or coursework related to UX roles. You can find colleges and universities that offer these in addition to degrees.
Below is a great visual that explains the roles in User Experience Design.
How to Land Your First Role
A great way to break into the field is to find someone already connected. Align yourself to someone that is on the UX team at your company or that you know who works in or close to the field. A mentor is a great way to learn about the practice and will get you talking UX.
You may also be able to find internship opportunities inside or outside of your place of employment. If your company doesn’t offer UX as an internship or have a UX department, then look at your local college. Another great way to learn about UX and to meet people in the field is to go to local meetups. There are plenty of meetups in or around larger cities. Meet as many people and learn from them. Discuss your interests with them and see how they can help you learn more about specific needs in the local industry or in general.
In addition to learning about generalities in the field, you need to start practicing and honing your skills. You’ll need some experience with certain tools in order to be hired by someone. Learn and download Sketch. It’s not too expensive and has a small learning curve. You’ll also want to have a way to show off your designs. One way to do this is to create a website and portfolio. You can also use a tool like InVision to showcase your designs.
While I covered a lot in this article, there is a lot more I didn’t get to. This should give you a good place to start, however. You can take aspects of this information and hopefully apply them to your situation.
Make sure you’re preparing yourself for the right area by talking to existing UX practitioners and start to educate yourself within a certain area. Focus on finding a mentor that can help you along the way and prepare to keep learning. The learning never stops. Pace yourself and take your time to build the right skills. | <urn:uuid:48c364e3-a344-4d23-a7ba-cb34d7d75651> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://uxsprintlab.com/2018/12/06/10-tips-to-becoming-a-ux-pro-and-user-experience-career-advice/ | 2019-07-16T04:47:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524502.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716035206-20190716061206-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.964637 | 1,021 |
Hello New Music fans! Paul and I have a new episode of Words On New Music. This one grew from a test conversation of Google Voice we did looking for an option to replace Skype. We both had recent live music experiences and spoke about Paul’s hearing of the contemporary chamber ensemble, Southland Ensemble and mine, going to a show of a violin teacher of mine, Tom Swafford who led an evening of solo and duo performances at the Brooklyn IBEAM. We discussed the new music CD release by Dr. Peter Thoegersen, a polytempic and polymicrotonal composer, Three Pieces in Polytempic Polymicrotonality and each spoke about our own compositional process and work in electronic and electro-acoustic music.

Happy March and welcome to a new Words On New Music audio podcast episode with Paul Muller and myself, Jim Goodin!
Last October when I was visiting Paul in Los Angeles we caught up again with friend and fellow composer/musician Shane W. Cadman who teaches and manages the Whittier College Ruth B. Shannon Center for the Performing Arts in Whittier, CA. Shane plans and books performances for the 400 seat theatrical and musical performance arts space. We featured him two years ago on WONM and it was wonderful to meet-up again and bring this episode to be!
Among the many creative and interesting musical artists Shane has brought to the Shannon Center in his 8 years there, he has in the last two seen a dream come to fruition, bringing to the stage two celebrated, legendary musical artists who have both highly influenced his own musical life and creative work, Philip Glass and Harold Budd.
In my time visiting last fall Paul and I thought it would be great to sit down with Shane and have him speak about these performances and how they came to be of which very successful events, Glass in October 2017 and Budd in August 2018. Our meet-up took place first at a lovely outdoor sunny southern California lunch and then concluding for a few minutes inside the Shannon Center.
Join us now for a delightful conversation with Shane!

People are still planning on running the route of the Bath Half marathon tomorrow (Sunday, March 4), despite the event being cancelled because of the weather.
Organisers called off the event yesterday afternoon (Friday, March 2) because of heavy snow and freezing temperatures which are forecast to continue throughout the weekend.
But that hasn't stopped some determined runners who say they plan on braving the elements to go the distance on Sunday.
A growing number of people are announcing their plans to meet tomorrow morning at the half-marathon starting point, and attempt the route using pavements and footpaths.
But Bath Half organisers and Bath and North East Somerset Council have advised runners not to tdo this, as fears that attempts by large groups of people to run in the current weather conditions could put pressure on already over-stretched emergency services.
Bath Rugby League player Aaron Schofield is one of those still planning on running the 13.1 miles, whatever the weather.
Aaron said: "A lot of people want to get involved and they're obviously doing it at their own risk because of possible ice and snow and so on.
"But we just thought it would be quite a good idea for people to get something out of it.
"I was running for the Southside charity, and all the money I raised will still be going towards them.
"We've got about eight people in our group who were all planning on doing the Bath Half, and they're all up for it on Sunday.
"At the moment there's about 30 people that I know of who are running it, so hopefully there's going to be a lot of people that turn up."
Update: Since this article was published, Aaron has decided against running the route.'
Yesterday's cancellation was the first time in the history of the Bath Half that the race has been called off.
The decision disappointed around 14,000 runners who had signed up for the race, with months of training seemingly gone to waste.
Explaining yesterday's decision, Andrew Taylor, race director of Bath Half Marathon said:
"This is not a decision we have made lightly, we are experienced organisers and we have never had to cancel the event before, so as you can imagine we are as devastated as the runners that we have had to make this decision.
“We feel really sorry for all the runners that have trained and fundraised for their charities.
“Runner, spectator and volunteer safety is paramount for us and with the current road and pavement conditions cannot guarantee safety underfoot.
"In addition, due to conditions on the national highways network, a number of our key contractors and suppliers are unable to guarantee delivery of critical services on Sunday."
Punit Shah, a Psychology and Neuroscience lecturer at the University of Bath who is still planning on running the route, said: "Everyone was really quite disappointed to have the run cancelled because we were obviously training really hard for months.
"A group of us really got into the training and we were getting quicker and quicker so we're aiming for sub-90 minute times. We were doing 40-60 miles a week by the end and it would be a shame to let it go to waste.
"It looks like there will be about five or six of us doing it together on Sunday. We're waiting to see what the weather will be like because some people are a bit nervous of the snow.
"We're still running in aid of the charities that we raised money for. People just feel it would be appropriate to run the distance having asked people for the money.
"Most of our group have signed up this morning for the Reading Half Marathon, so we will be doing a proper one too.
"We're going to do the same route using pavements and footpaths. I'm optimistic that the snow and ice might have melted quite a bit by then."
But others are being slightly more cautious about their chances of running the route.
Louis Archer, who was planning on running the Bath Half for anti-corruption charity Transparency International, explained he is going to make sure the conditions are right before committing to running the route on Sunday.
Louis said: "'If it is not icy underfoot tomorrow I intend to run the route as I am the first person to run for Transparency International UK and I don't want to let them down.
"I'm going to go out and have a look on Sunday and decide at that point.
"I want to get a time of below two hours, which would be a personal achievement for me. It's about raising awareness for the charity too so I'm going to have a look at the conditions and decide what I'm going to do on the day."
Boris Pomroy, Director of Fundraising and Communications at Transparency International UK said: “We’re extremely grateful that Louis chose to run on behalf of Transparency International. Corruption is an issue that is at the heart of many of the worlds problems and often goes hand in hand with poverty.
"The money Louis has raised will support us in our mission to tackle corruption both at home and abroad, as well as how the UK enables overseas corruption by providing a safe haven for stolen wealth. We wish Louis all the best if he decides to run and hope people will continue to donate to the cause!”
But today, race director Andrew Taylor urged runners to be sensible and to avoid putting pressure on already overstretched emergency services.
“The weather forecast continues to predict overnight temperatures in Bath hovering around zero with significant wind chill and the possibility of freezing rain, with a Met Office Yellow warning in place for ice the Bath area," he said.
"On Sunday morning we are likely to see icy patches on untreated surfaces and pavements, and an increased chance of injuries from slips and falls on icy surfaces. Runner safety is our primary consideration, and this is one of the main reasons we came to the difficult decision to cancel the event.
"This weekend has seen the cancellation of hundreds of parkruns across the country, including locally at Bath, Bristol, Swindon, Trowbridge and Gloucester, plus a major UK Athletics Cross Country event in Bristol, indicating event organisers’ concerns for runner safety.
"As the event organisers we are truly heartbroken at having to cancel our event, and we fully share runner’s frustration and disappointment at not being able to run the Bath Half Marathon tomorrow, but we urge runners to be sensible, and not to risk placing additional pressure on our emergency services, which are already stretched responding to weather related incidents."
Bath and North East Somerset Council have joined BAth Half organisers in asking people not to attempt the run.
Councillor Bob Goodman, (Conservative Combe Down) Cabinet Member for Development and Neighbourhoods, said: “We understand through social media there are groups of runners who are planning to go ahead and unofficially run the Bath Half Marathon tomorrow.
"We are encouraging those runners to take the event organiser’s clear advice which is not to attempt the run. The decision to cancel the event was not taken lightly and it was based on safety.
“All the emergency services, NHS services and council gritting services have been under pressure during this severe weather spell, working flat out throughout the last 48 hours.
"The emergency services have been responding to a major incident in the region since Thursday. We hope people will continue to take heed of all the advice being given and not risk placing additional pressure on our already stretched emergency services. Thank you.”

Interested in a career in politics? If the answer is yes, well done and buckle up, it’s not an easy road.
Before you become a politician you must be elected to office and to be elected you need to run a pretty solid campaign operation. So where do we start?
Are you ready to run for office?
What made you ascertain that now is the right time to throw your hat in the ring?
Are you financially able?
Have you considered the impact on your personal life?
Can you take time off work to campaign?
Do you know what office you want to run in?
How long is the term if elected?
Have you considered the campaign team you can put together?
Again, can you afford it?
Are you willing to knock on a lot of doors?
Are you a confident public speaker?
Have you done your research into what your community need from a representative?
Section 1: Campaign Organisation
Once you are confident you have covered every reason why it's a good idea for you to run for office, consider how you will organise your campaign.
What roles will you fill within you campaign team?
You need some organization and structure. That's where you need a Campaign Manager or a Director of Elections to step in and take the pressure off.
The Campaign Manager will direct overall campaign strategy - what key points should be mentioned on the doorstep, what areas should be canvassed, where should the posters go, fundraising techniques, and where to come across the best photo-ops.
We know that having a person in charge of digital operations is a must for a modern day operation. A person who is familiar with all social media platforms, perhaps has a touch of graphic design, video editing skills etc. These were all the main qualifications needed for the top level US campaigns in 2018, so keep an eye out for these people.
Data analysts are also brilliant people to have within a campaign team as we focus more and more on voter insights and how we can reach key segments of our supporter base.
At the beginning we asked twice if you could afford to run for political office. Is it feasible with your current occupation etc. As part of the Campaign Organisation section, we always like to explore where money will be spent, it helps when trying to factor in where your money will be coming from and where it will be going. A simple cash flow will help you begin this process.
Things like application fees need to be considered, promotional materials, fuel costs, office rent, staff wages, expenses, catering costs for events, a clothes busary, advertising, and even purchasing voter lists. All of these may be necessary costs for your campaign.
Having such high spend requires you to be creative with how you may bring in different streams of income. Perhaps holding local fundraisers is an option, are there grants available, have you savings stashed away and have you enabled your website to collect online donations? Many of these are standard ways of increasing your campaign budget. Make sure to consider the longest possible timeline when doing up your fininaicl forecast as this will save you stress in the long run.
Asking yourself early on "Who are my voters?” is the best way to begin any campaign.
Getting your hands on a voter file is critical to campaign operations so purchase your local electoral file and if needs be, enlist an expert to help you decipher it (you’d be surprised the number of people who struggle to understand voter files).
These databases contain masses of information if analyzed correctly, you will be privy to valuable information such as date of births, names, addresses, past voting history etc. You can find out where to source a voter file here.
Section 2: Exploring The Office You Are Running For
What do you know about the role that you wish to do upon election?
What are the requirements you need to meet to file for your seat. You can usually find this out by checking with your town clerk, local city council or Secretary of State. Make a list of any and all paperwork required to file along with the deadlines. Find out if you need to collect signatures and/or pay a filing fee in advance.
With regards financing, different regions have different financial regulations you may need to follow. The important thing to know is that all countries in the world have some regulations regarding the role of money in politics.
Section 3: Campaign Brand
What do you want your campaign to be remembered for?
Ask yourself that question when trying to figure out your campaign brand and messaging. It's no longer about having a catchy slogon, we are now moving into the deep and meaningful messaging. Messagin that reflects issues is what we are seeing across Europe this year. Hot button topics stand out and show that you have been listening to your voters.
When really successful politicians work on their campaign messaging, they focus on changing the status quo, what is your aim?
Social Media Profiles
Now you are aware of your voters and their preferences, you may be better equipped to set up your social media profiles. People jump straight into setting up social media pages because they think it’s easy and ya, it’s pretty easy to set up an account but it’s an entirely different scenario when you try to gain value from it.
Consider Facebook, it has the fasted growth amongst women and men aged 40 +, so this is always a good place to find that section of your electorate. When making a Facebook profile remember to use current, authentic images and update your timeline often with campaign news, interesting facts about you and praise for your supporters and the wider community.
Next up, focus on your Twitter page. If you already have a notable Twitter presence, screen it for anything that may not be in agreement with your current political bid, we have seen recently how past tweets have come back to haunt prospective politicians. Check out the following video if you don’t believe us!
Find your personality using Twitter and follow people from your community first (people love being followed on Twitter), then move on to potential donors, action groups, other politicians, and news sources. Maintaining a solid Twitter presence requires a lot of work so don’t dive in unless you're going to be active.
For better visual optics you may want to set up an Instagram page, still a relatively new platform for campaigners, Instagram is great to share visual updates and also share live news or ‘stories’ as they are called. This feature is great to help you test messaging and gain confidence while talking into a camera.
We recently did a short blog on how you can maximise your reach to voters through Instagram, check it out here.
Setting up social media pages is quick and easy work, so we don’t think you will be too long doing this fun activity.
Buying a domain name can be done in 5 mins, it’s the creative work which could cost you time. If time is against you (we know it is), I would prepare a decent skeleton of a website and you can come back and add to it as the days go by. My main tip for a quick website set up is having your social media profiles connected and a widget to accept donations.
Remember have a place you can direct your voters where they can learn more about you.
Due to social media and the overall power of the internet, I would like to take the focus off traditional. It’s important to have materials to hand to people, don’t get me wrong but due to the amount of time we all spend on our phones, a link is simply as useful as a political brochure.
If you are dead set on printing campaign leaflets, again make sure your message will resonate and that your images are high quality. Just because you are in a hurry doesn’t mean quality should suffer.
Section 4: Manifesto
I have faith in people and because of that, I believe that people don’t run for office on a whim. To run as a candidate you need to have a deep connection and understanding of what your electorate want. This is of course what your manifesto will address. So, simply put, you cannot draw up a political manifesto in 20 hours, you can, however, put in place the tools that will allow you to be able to draw one up.
It is amazing that so few politicians do ‘broad spectrum’ surveys of voters regularly. In other words, speak to people outside their supporter base, speak to opponents and those on the fence. Bernie Sanders lobbied at the grassroots level from the beginning of his Primary campaign and, in the process, seemed to be able to gauge the temperature of the people far better than some of his rivals. His campaign messaging spoke to the disaffected middle of America as well as the Democratic base showing that grassroots surveying yields the rich data needed for a successful campaign. Many scoffed at him for being seen to be too involved at a low level but when he took a surprise victory in the New Hampshire Primary we realized that ground-game surveys work.
So why doesn’t every aspiring politician try and understand their voters the same, put in the work to create a solid manifesto? You use political technology to do many types of surveys, but how about starting smaller and simply draw up a 5 question survey asking your electorate what thier concerns are? You'll have manifesto drawn up in no time.
Section 5: Campaign Strategy
When we work with campaigns, the vision of the candidate is what matters. This is where a campaign begins and ends. Having a vision is fundamentally what your election run is all about. Vision can be implemented in many ways, from your talking points when out on a canvass, to who you have on your team, and even, to what your social media strategy is.
It's gonna be tough, exhausting and fun. Jot down how you want your plan to look or check out our rollout video here.
If you want all of the above collated into one unified system, sign up to use political software like Ecanvasser. There is much to be said for an efficient political tool that will help you earn votes easier.
Politicians often succumb to stress from losing track of one, or more aspects of their campaign - by joining the revolution and enjoying the process of campaigning, we can guarantee you extra votes. Plus, you can't put a price on the ability to be able to see what's working and what's not before it's too late.

Spain is one of the main beneficiaries of the Juncker Plan, according to European Investment Bank Vice-President Román Escolano, after a year in which the EU bank focused on financing SMEs. EURACTIV Spain reports.
Despite not knowing the 2016 balance of payments, Escolano revealed that Spain is among the main recipients of funding in absolute terms related to GDP, at an informative breakfast organised this week by the Spanish Maritime Cluster.
Escolano added that the Baltic countries, as well as member states in the east and south, have also done well in terms of mobilising resources.
The EIB chief also highlighted how his institution signed off on projects worth some €83 billion last year, which especially targeted small and medium-sized enterprises.
He added that this was somewhat of a “novelty” for the bank, but that it was an exercise aimed in “alleviating” problems faced by SMEs in securing financing, particularly those on the EU’s periphery.
It was also involved in environmental projects as a part of Europe’s climate change and infrastructure policies, which again was new ground for the bank.
The EIB has also financed a number of projects outside of the EU, but which are intended to contribute to the bloc’s policies, and they make up about 10% of the operations being financed each year by the bank, to the tune of some €8bn.
In terms of the Investment Plan for Europe, otherwise known as the Juncker Plan, projects worth some €30bn have been financed, reaching the halfway mark of the €60bn that has been earmarked for the whole programme.
Escolano insisted that progress has been “satisfactory so far”, noting that investment has been targeted principally at SMEs, research and development, and transport.
The vice-president also added that “the EIB is the main multilateral bank in the world” and that it is something to be valued at a time when the European Union as a whole is being questioned.
On Brexit, Escolano would only say that the United Kingdom currently holds a 16% stake in the bank and that it has €50bn in outstanding loans.
Unlike countries like Germany and France, the UK does not have a state bank that funds development projects at home. | <urn:uuid:b252ee43-431b-4e9c-98bf-10e83f51c67c> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.euractiv.com/section/euro-finance/news/spain-benefitted-most-from-juncker-plan-in-2016/ | 2019-07-16T04:39:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524502.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716035206-20190716061206-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.977854 | 483 |
Come along and celebrate our city at the procession, says Lord Mayor
PUBLISHED: 16:32 03 February 2015
Following the launch of our campaign to ensure this year's Lord Mayor's Procession is the best one yet, current Lord Mayor Judith Lubbock explains what the event means to her, and calls for people to join in the fun.
It’s such an honour to be chosen as Lord Mayor of our fine city and, there’s no doubt about it, the Lord Mayor’s Procession is the absolute highlight.
What better way to bring people together than a true carnival-style celebration that’s free, fun and offers entertainment for all the family.
Last summer, I felt a great sense of pride as I walked at the head of the parade, seeing the crowds smiling and waving. It was a great way to show off our city, with other civic dignitaries from across Norfolk walking in the procession with me, soaking up the wonderful atmosphere as we went.
I had some lovely feedback saying how much they enjoyed themselves – it was a chance for us all to let our hair down.
The great thing about the procession is that anyone can get involved.
Children and adults of all ages dress up, dance, sing, and sign up just to be part of it all. There were some very clever and imaginative entries and beautiful costumes that were simple but effective.
I’d like to encourage anyone interested in taking part this year to go for it. Norwich City Council’s organisation of the event is superb, making a safe environment for everyone to enjoy themselves.
Keeping it simple is a good way to start for those who haven’t entered before and, remember, you don’t need to decorate a huge trailer to get involved – walking and cycling groups are just as important.
Voluntary groups, organisations and businesses use it as a chance to raise their profile, while others join together purely for the carnival spirit. It really is up to you.
Another wonderful outcome of the event are the donations for the Norwich Civic Charity Appeal.
Last year, Cruse Bereavement Care benefited from the street collections made during the parade – an important start to the fundraising for the civic year, with thousands of pounds collected. This year, another worthy cause will be helped by the generosity of spectators. People from Norwich, Norfolk and beyond flock here to enjoy the celebrations, the atmosphere and, of course, the grand finale firework display, which ends the day with sparkle and style.
It is a real gem in the city’s events calendar and I’m sure this year will be no exception.
So whether you choose to join the parade or be in the cheering crowd, it will be the place to be on Saturday, 4 July. Come along and celebrate our city.

2017 EU-NATO Seminar
“For the past thirty-six years, the Fulbright Commission in Brussels has invited American Fulbright grantees to countries all over Europe to the Fulbright Seminar on the European Union and NATO. This year, the seminar brought together nearly 50 American Fulbright grantees to countries like France, Germany, Romania, and of course, Portugal. Even grantees to the United Kingdom were welcomed despite Brexit – a reoccurring joke throughout the trip.
Thanks to a rescheduled flight, my journey to Luxembourg began the day before the official start of the seminar. I took advantage of this time and walked all around the city, exploring the Ville Haute and its old fortifications, which are considered a UNESCO World Heritage site. In my wanderings, I also recognized several Portuguese businesses and accents throughout the city. I was stumbling through a sandwich order in French, apologizing to the waitress because I kept wanting to speak Portuguese, when she told me that she was from a city outside of Porto. She informed me that nearly 16% of the Luxembourg’s population are Portuguese nationals!
The following day, the other grantees arrived and we walked to the U.S. Embassy to Luxembourg, where we were warmly greeted by embassy staff and friends of the Fulbright program. Our guest lecturer and Chairman of the Fulbright Commission, Dr. Jerome Sheridan, set the tone for the rest of the week. As an expert on the E.U., he provided a brief introduction to its structure and highlighted the importance of the E.U. as a political and economic institution. He also mentioned the biggest challenges facing the EU are Brexit, the new U.S. administration, and the upcoming European elections in countries like France, the Netherlands and Germany. These concerns were discussed multiple times throughout the week as well.
Our second day included attending a case hearing at the Court of Justice of the European Union. It was interesting to witness how E.U. law is applied to the legal issues of a single member-country. President Koen Lenaerts and Judge Paul Nihoul, both Fulbright alumni, also provided some background on the E.U.’s legal tradition. One of the biggest takeaways from these discussions is that while the E.U. acts a political entity to preserve the common goals of individual states, it must also ensure all policies are guided by democracy, rule of law and fundamental rights. Afterwards, our group traveled to the Bastogne War Museum and Mardasson Memorial before heading to Brussels. This stop was a great reminder as to why there was such a need for an institution like the E.U. after the destruction of World War I and World War II.
On the third day, we visited the European Commission in Brussels, where we received an even more in-depth presentation on the EU’s structure and its policies. This was a particularly exciting session for me because there was a presentation on the E.U.’s development cooperation policy, which is a big part of my Fulbright research project. We also had a presentation on the E.U.’s foreign and security policy by Mr. Ricardo Borges de Castro, a Fulbright Portugal alumnus. Otília Reis, our Executive Director, and I were quick to make sure we got a picture together, proudly representing the Fulbright Commission in Portugal. Continuing with the E.U. theme of the day, we were later welcomed for a discussion and reception at the U.S. Mission to the European Union. For so many of us, the question was how will the new administration in the U.S. affect relations with the E.U. The diplomatic answer was “we are still waiting to see how it will affect our relations.” While I expected this, I also hoped for a more concrete and analytical response.
For our last day, we went to NATO Headquarters, which is where the U.S. Mission to NATO is also hosted. We heard from both NATO and U.S. diplomats regarding current priorities and policies. I was intrigued by NATO’s move to develop more partnerships to tackle cross-cutting and emerging security issues. This seems ideal considering security is not just a matter of military capability. Our discussion was engaging and I left having a much better understanding of NATO. Our day ended at the College of Europe in Bruges, which is perhaps one of the most charming cities I have even been too. The current Fulbright-Schuman grantees gave presentations on their projects; they were each so specific and intricately detailed. It was impressive to see all the different ways in which grantees are using this Fulbright experience. At our delicious vegan dinner, we were joined by the most recent U.S. Ambassador to the European Union, Anthony Gardner. As an appointed ambassador, he was able to speak more candidly about his experiences and his hopes and concerns for the future of U.S.-E.U. relations. His honesty and humor were greatly appreciated!
While the content of the trip was engaging and informative, one of my favorite parts of this seminar was meeting other American Fulbright grantees and learning about the work they are doing in their host-countries. They represented various academic fields, from nuclear engineering to water politics to refugee and migrant issues. I found the energy with which everyone spoke about their respective topics and goals inspiring. The researchers, journalists, community and English teaching assistants, alike, brought unique perspectives to our discussions. Reflecting on this experience, I am all the more amazed with how the Fulbright Program brings such diverse individuals together to build community globally and foster cultural exchange.”

Not sure about pledging? Two parishioner share why they do, year after year.
Thanksgiving & Generosity — Annual Fund 2019
Thank God for This Gift
Sometimes, getting my family into the pew by 9:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings feels like I’m running a marathon. Yet, the moment I slip into the pew, my heartbeat slows. It is worth the race just to sit in this place.
During the service, a million tiny moments capture why I love St. Michael’s so much.
The sunlight streaming through the stained-glass windows; the notes of a familiar hymn; the parishioner who secretly slips my son a piece of chocolate candy; the friend who reaches across the pew to give me a giant hug; the peace I feel listening to the Prayers of the People; the sound of my daughter’s voice as she recites the Nicene Creed from memory; the sermon’s powerful message; my husband teaching the same powerful message to a gaggle of five-year-olds in Sunday School.
St. Michael’s the place, St. Michael’s the people, St. Michael’s the faith, is generous to me in more ways than I can count. St. Michael’s fills my heart and strengthens my relationship with God daily. I receive more from St. Michael’s than I can give. St. Michael’s is the epitome of generosity to me, and my family and I thank God for His gift.
— Robin Kennedy

Quite often in interviews I get asked about the moment I decided to become a writer and I always get stumped because I can't remember a precise moment when it hit me out of the sky: I WANT TO BECOME A WRITER. And then it did hit me. Not out of sky, but out of my brain. I guess it's been sitting there all along and decided to show up suddenly. So I'll use this post in the future to refer people to when they ask me this question.
And that moment was...while sitting in the movie theater at SIFF 2005 after having just watched the movie Parsley Days. But I'm jumping ahead. Let me give you a rundown off all moments that could be it and weren't it and instead were lost opportunities but that in the end contributed to the moment when it finally happened.Read More | <urn:uuid:008487af-80e9-4a86-8633-904e1074d513> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.kseniaanske.com/blog/tag/moment | 2019-07-16T04:27:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524502.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716035206-20190716061206-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.978393 | 174 |

Here we go again. In what seems to be becoming "Standard Operating Procedure" for our country's educational system, this week's outrage comes from Central Connecticut State University. In yet another case of "zero-tolerance, zero-common sense," a professor reported one of her students to the police after he gave a class presentation on why law-abiding students and teachers who possess valid concealed carry permits should be allowed to carry concealed firearms on campus.
A March 4, FoxNews.com story reported that last October, the student, John Wahlberg, and two classmates, gave an oral presentation for a communications class they were enrolled in at the university. The assignment required students to discuss a "relevant issue in the media."
In their presentation, Wahlberg and the other two students argued that many lives might have been saved in the midst of the April 2007 Virginia Tech shooting massacre if professors and students had been able to defend themselves by legally carrying a concealed firearm.
Following the presentation, Professor Paula Anderson reported Wahlberg to the police. That night, police contacted Wahlberg and asked him to come to the station. There, they read a list of firearms allegedly registered to Wahlberg, and required that he detail the whereabouts of each.
As FoxNews.com further reported, Robert Shibley, vice president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), concluded that Professor Anderson's overzealous actions did indeed appear to be out of line. "If all he did was discuss reasons for allowing guns on campus, it seems a bit much to call the police and grill him about it," Shibley said. "If you go after students for just discussing an idea, that goes against everything a university is supposed to stand for. "It is, of course, important that administrators identify real threats to students," Shibley said. "But they need to use logic to discern whether a threat is real."
We couldn't agree more.

The lumber yard fire that happened Saturday night smolders on Veteran’s Day. A low gossamer halo surround the site, a plume of light smoke rises in a line towards the halo and blends in. Queen Anne and ghostly blue Mt. Rainier are in the offing. Sea planes follow the ship canal to land in Lake Union.
Yesterday, I walked one mile round-trip west along Market Street towards the Puget. The corner construction site is now a 5-story box that will house The Polyclinic, Target and Equal Exchange Coffee. When I moved to Seattle 2-years ago, it was a closed gas station, Burger King and small office building. When businesses close slowly in a specific location developers are waiting out leases.
Windows are being installed in a rush to beat the rainy winter. There is the strong smell of tar being pumped from a gurgling spasmodic truck in a pipe towards the truck. The old truck looks as antiquated as the carcinogenic materials it stores. Tar smells old. I cover my mouth with my shirt as I pass the site.
Across 15th, is a large apartment building called Urbana with retail space on the ground floor. Locals lament the tearing down of the 24-hour Denny’s that holds so many memories. When the landmarks of our youth are replaced we often feel replaced. Denver Omelettes are not just in Denver.
I hear stories about Denny’s, but not Manning’s, a restaurant that held memories before Denny’s. Giorgio Agamben, an Italian philosopher theorized in his book State of Exception that government use the “state of exception” concept as a totalitarian tool to advance political agendas in the name of the public good. In such a state, normal law and order goes out the window in favor of policy that discriminates, oppresses and even kills in “exceptional” times. He said, “Remembrance restores possibility to the past, making what happened incomplete and completing what never was. Remembrance is neither what happened nor what did not happen but, rather, their potentialization, their becoming possible once again.”
The “once again” is illusory. As Thomas Wolfe said, “You can’t go home again.” Restoration and landmark status require ongoing financial resources and the investment of a public that wants that remembrance. It costs money to remember. It also costs money to “never forget.” Who we want to remember and who we want to forget is the question and moral imperative.
Giorgio Agamben said, “To believe that will has power over potentiality, that the passage to actuality is the result of a decision that puts an end to the ambiguity of potentiality (which is always potentiality to do and not to do) — this is the perpetual illusion of morality.“
I often remember my childhood in a suburban town on Long Island. It’s comforting to remember a simpler time, but, in hindsight, the landmarks of remembrance often remembered events, histories and cultures that did not include me. I looked in and was educated about history that assimilated me.
Mitch Landrieu who is the Mayor of New Orleans made the controversial decision to confront our country’s past and remove confederate statues from the public sphere. In his book In the Shadow of Statues, he says, "There is a difference between remembrance of history and reverence for it."
Is it more important to spend energy and resources on “remembrance” or “contemporariness?” As my frail mother lives her remaining days in an adult family home, it is easier for me to remember the past. My will will not stop her inevitable death. The ambiguity of now is a defense to forget then. | <urn:uuid:4f287afa-831e-400d-860c-8561cc42b084> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.ohiso.com/blog/2018/11/12/zp7wcld3andmtz8jyekr0m7kuzh6cc | 2019-07-16T04:00:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524502.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716035206-20190716061206-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.961105 | 808 |
The majority of private equity investors think the growth of shadow capital will push down private equity fund returns, according to the summer edition of the Coller Capital Private Equity Barometer released Monday.
The survey of 110 global private equity limited partners from mid-March through the end of April was conducted by research firm Arbor Square Associates.
Some 64% of survey respondents indicated shadow capital — such as co-investments, direct investments and separately managed accounts — is likely to exert downward pressure on fund returns, compared with 36% of respondents who did not think shadow capital would negatively affect private equity returns.
Meanwhile, private equity investors’ top areas of concern are competition for investments among general partners, thereby decreasing returns, and the growth in size of private equity funds. Eighty-eighty percent of survey respondents included competition/decreasing returns for assets as a concern, up from 71% in the Winter 2012-2013 Barometer; 86% cited growth in fund sizes as a concern, up from 66% in Winter 2012-2013. (Coller does not ask the same questions the same way in its surveys.)
Meanwhile, 87% of investors responding to the survey said they have received annual net returns of between 11% and 15% over the lifetime of their private equity portfolios, with 20% of investors having net returns of 16% or greater since inception.
“It’s a good report card for private equity,” said Frank Morgan, partner and president of Coller Capital-U.S.
“There are worries, with too much money chasing too few deals,” Mr. Morgan said.
And the increase in shadow capital is pressuring general partners to look for larger deals to accommodate co-investments, Mr. Morgan added.
Despite their concerns, investors still plan to increase their allocations to private equity, he said.
Some 35% of limited partners plan to increase their allocations to alternative investments in the next 12 months, compared with 4% who plan to reduce their allocations; the remaining 61% will keep their allocations the same. Thirty-six percent of investors plan to increase their private equity allocations, vs. 4% that plan to decrease and 60% staying pat. Some 25% of hedge fund investors plan to decrease their allocations in the next 12 months, compared with 8% that would increase their allocations and the remainder retaining their allocations. | <urn:uuid:7eb2bf01-86b6-472d-9caa-cba6a1f9ed12> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.pionline.com/article/20160613/ONLINE/160619947/private-equity-investors-fear-shadow-capital-will-hurt-returns-coller-capital | 2019-07-16T04:14:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524502.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716035206-20190716061206-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.958797 | 483 |

Psyllium husks are often used as a form of natural dietary fibre. They can be sprinkled on cereals, added to smoothies or used in baking. They are natural containing no additives or preservatives.
Excellent for cleaning out the digestive tract. Add a teaspoon to your breakfast or smoothie.

Psyllium husk is a white fibrous material derived from the outer coating of the psyllium seed, from the plant of the Plantago Genus.
Like the bran layer of grains it is considered pure dietary fibre and promotes a healthy colon and can alleviate irritable bowel syndrome. | <urn:uuid:0f1f06eb-6b5b-47fc-b68f-3bdb21021736> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.rawdealfoods.com.au/psyllium-husks-organic-150g | 2019-07-16T05:06:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524502.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716035206-20190716061206-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.864587 | 154 |

We're here to discuss whether Agile ideas fit in with fixed-scope efforts. We'll look at Agile values, principles, frameworks, and practices. The answer is that Agile works just fine.

This is a simple description. For detailed explanations see articles: Laser Diffraction-101 and -201.
Particle Size Distribution (PSD) is a multi-parameter description of how the total concentration of particles is distributed into many size fractions. For example, a 32-element PSD means that the total concentration is divided into 32 size fractions.
In order to get 32 pieces of information, one needs 32 independent measurements. In the laser diffraction method, these measurements are of light scattering into 32 angles. The figure below shows how that is done.
A laser (L) is collimated. Particles in water (at arrow) scatter light. A receiving lens (R) collects the scattered light. Behind the lens, at its focal plane is placed a special detector array (D). This array consists of 32 rings of silicon. Each ring detects scattering into a very specific small range of angles. These are the primary measurements constituting the data. Behind the ring detector is placed a photodiode (P). A hole in the center of the ring detector (D) allows the tightly focused laser beam to pass through. The photodiode P senses the power in this beam. A reduction in this power due to particles constitutes a measure of attenuation. This attenuation is used only to de-attenuate the light on rings. Following this de-attenuation, and after then subtracting a background (i.e. light on rings with filtered water), an inversion procedure produces the 32-element PSD.
Note that our new LISST-200X has 36 detectors and 36 size classes spanning a wider size range of particles; the original LISST-100X had 32. Our LISST-Portable |XR has 44 size classes that reach down to about 0.3 micron at the low end of sizes.
Two misperceptions are common:
- The light on a ring does not correspond to the concentration in a size bin. This is because particles of any size put light on all rings, not just one; and
- The optical transmission (attenuation) is not used to interpret size distribution, nor concentration. It is only used to compensate for attenuation of scattered light. Even so, the transmission is offered as a measurement, because it is useful for comparison with the classic transmissometers/turbidity sensors, and it is an excellent measurement of a parameter of interested to optical oceanograhpers, namely. beam-attenuation coefficient, c.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Smart Watches Android
Where the Galaxy Watch falls short remains in its third-party application assistance as well as dependence on Samsung software program and services.

more gloss.

to their phone, all linked right into one community actually think about smartwatches to be really useful, as well as complying with that into the market, the smartwatch sector now is producing a separate entity for itself.The Collection 4 comes loading LTE once more so you can take it out sans apple iphone and still make/receive telephone calls, get messages and all various other notifications you would certainly on your phone.

Versa that it made a decision to make a less costly version that removes out a few of the smartwatch features.The Lite is practically similar to the first Versa in appearances, save for currently simply a solitary physical button on one's guard body, which indicates you'll be relying much more on the touchscreen screen to browse the Versa Lite.

Jean Rooke (nee Valentine), a wartime Bombe operator and a Bombe guide at Bletchley Park has died in Henley, Oxfordshire.
Born in Perth, Scotland, in 1924, Jean joined the WRNS in 1943 and was sent to Bletchley Park to operate the Bombe machines, created by Alan Turing and Gordon Welchman, to find the key settings to the German Enigma cipher machines. Being four feet ten inches, Jean couldn’t reach the top rotors, so they built her a special footstool, something she would joke about even on her final visit to open the Bombe Gallery in The National Museum of Computing in May 2018.
After training on Japanese codes, Jean was posted to Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) and there met her husband Clive, a Royal Navy seafire pilot.
Like almost everyone else, Jean had to keep silent about her work on the Bombe until the 1970s when the first details began to emerge in public. Thereafter, she was an enthusiastic visitor to reunions at Bletchley Park. She became a Bombe volunteer and acted as a Bombe guide for thousands of visitors. In 2011, she demonstrated the Bombe to the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
In 2013, she featured in a short video for Google about operating the Bombe.
Her clarity of expression, sharpness of wit and crisp Scottish accent shine through.
In 2018, Jean opened the Bombe Gallery with fellow wartime Bombe operator and Bombe guide Ruth Bourne. Ruth didn’t work alongside Jean during the war but recalls meeting her at Bletchley Park many years later, “We had some interesting reminiscences to exchange and on one occasion we took over operating the Bombe together for the day – and we didn’t break it! However, we didn’t have the physical strength to push the pump (I think that’s what it was called) although she did give me confidence to ‘fix’ a little problem at the back! Confidence was Jean’s hallmark.”
Ruth continued, “I have a very happy memory of being with Jean for the last time when the Bombe was moved to TNMOC and we cut the ribbon together to inaugurate the new installation – the scissors didn’t work but the Bombe did!”
Jean Valentine’s funeral was on Friday 14 June. The Order of Service contained a poem and a puzzle, entitled From crib to crypt. | <urn:uuid:c0513495-ddaf-4b23-a337-712749fbfb74> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.tnmoc.org/notes-from-the-museum/2019/6/18/jean-valentine-1924-2019 | 2019-07-16T04:09:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524502.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716035206-20190716061206-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.96425 | 524 |

The millennials — Y Generation Employees
There are too many myths surrounding Gen Y employees -one of them is never telling them they are not loyal to the company.GVS Chaitanya
I stand by everything that Simon snick has been saying about the millennial generation, comparing Millennials to most underrated generation on the planet who live in the world of internet and smartphones. we are the uncool humans who can't accept the facts which are close to reality. I've asked my colleagues and friends to respond on simon snicks video - the millenials work place to my surprise people who in the current generations of millennials either ignored or didn't respond to the video but whereas people who are a bit older have responded with their views and opinions which says that millennials are one of the most underrated generations in the world of internet freedom and internet hashtag.
The So cool Millenials have been looking for so cool things to do -Most of them are tech and internet savvy where they continuously spend time on exploring career driven opportunities which would help them to advance in their career through internet learning, Networking and communicating with influencers over the social media for better opportunities , It is said that due to this learning energy and focus on career right from 20's they have been earning 7 figures .The Gen y employees tend to communicate more quickly and adapt fast processed things .when amazon prime launched in India they came with an idea of Amazon prime video and one-day delivery targeting Gen Y working professionals and that really worked well and gave the product lot of communicative marketing through social media networks
“Millennials are great at using Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter,Tumblr, Instagram, Flickr, Snapchat, Pinterest, YouTube but not at Socalizing with others and sharing Views on work- life -The Good Reads
Startup Culture - Yes, the phrases like the startup world are actually started and moving forward by Millennials as they are always driven towards fast solutions, bigger roles and easy life.In early 2014-15 "startup" has actually become a household name like owning a car/bike towards my son/daughter is planning to start a startup.This Necessarily move things faster like never before if you see any MNC or a Fortune 500 company creating a big impact can be slow process and it takes a sum of years to get there, As Millennial folks, we always care about attention and presence and the startup world provides a platform to show off even a small work as a great work and most importantly showing their lifestyle by showing a new dress, a new mobile, visiting a new restaurant
Getting Shit done - Recently I was researching on habits and pressures among younger Generations on HBR .It was a quick 5 min read but my biggest takeaway came from the article where the author explains Millennials agree to the 4 thumb rules which millennials follow in their day to day life This is phase where most of the 20's younger generation learn to cope up before they learn how to handle stress and negative feelings
Gen Y's present a very unique and very exciting leadership challenge, yet they are unique and need new managing styles and working procedures as per their needs and wants. Leadership and management process will occupy less space as Gen Y's have more Freedom, less Social life and more jobs than any other generation in the history. Hope you enjoyed reading few words which helped you to change your work life methods look into this space for more happy new year ! | <urn:uuid:1c2fb176-056c-476b-b4cd-3ccf426186bd> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://yourstory.com/mystory/44a7ca22e2-the-millennials-y-g | 2019-07-16T04:36:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195524502.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20190716035206-20190716061206-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.959775 | 691 |

I want to take a minute and let you know of a small change I am implementing here at Parenting Gamers.
Over the last month or so I have worked hard to bring you a new article every Monday and Wednesday and then a vocabulary word on Friday. I am going to change this schedule starting next week.
The truth is, that many posts have gotten to be a bit much with the other things I want to accomplish here. I am currently working on a product that I think will be awesome for parents. I need a little more time to work on it than the 3 posts a week schedule afforded.
So starting next week I will move down to one article on Tuesday and a vocabulary word on Friday. I feel this schedule will allow me to bring you quality content and give you a heads up about upcoming games while leaving time to work on my product. | <urn:uuid:c942af28-8858-48bc-8e74-4198379ce62e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://parentinggamers.com/posting-schedule-change/ | 2019-07-17T08:18:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525133.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717081450-20190717103450-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.963745 | 175 |
Haircuts and Shaving During Sefirat HaOmer
Question: Can I shave/get a haircut on Rosh Chodesh?
Answer: Maran in the Shulchan Aruch calls the custom to do so an “incorrect” one. But one would first have to establish the severity of the custom not to shave in the first place. In the entire chapter concerning mourning during the Omer, Maran constantly used the words “Nohagim” – they have a custom.
Furthermore, the sources of these customs are (mostly) Ashkenazi. That doesn’t mean Maran didn’t consider them, but it’s important to know that the Talmud and the Rambam were unfamiliar with this idea of “mourning” during Sefirat HaOmer.
Additionally, Maran can technically be read as prohibiting haircuts (something not as necessary as shaving) and not shaving.
Also, there are other considerations such as work, marriage, the Israeli holidays, etc – if one needs to know more than just theoretically, they are welcome to contact me personally.
Question: I know this question was asked before but can one get a haircut on Rosh Chodesh?
Answer: It would be better to get a haircut on Yom HaAtzmaut, the 5th of Iyar, as per the ruling HaRav Yitzchak Nissim, the former Sepharadic Chief Rabbi in his work, Shu”t Yen HaTov.
Question: Is it permisible for a man to shave/cut embarrassing nose/ear hair during the Sefirah mourning period?
Answer: I don’t have a Kabbalah from HaRav Yaakov Peretz shlit”a about this, but it is our opinion that this would be permissible as it is not actual “Tisporet” that Maran refers to.
Note: I also found a precedent in the name of Rabbanim far greater than myself who permit something similar, HaRav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach.
כתב בספר בין פסח לשבועות (פרק ט’ סעיף יא והערה יח) בשם הגרש”ז אויערבאך והגר”ש וואזנר, שמריטת שיער הגבות או הריסים אינה נחשבת לתספורת, ומותרת אף כשנעשית ליפוי, ע”ש.
Counting Sefirat HaOmer for Women
Question: Something I don’t understand, Sephardic women are discouraged from counting the omer and often very strongly. Been told it is because we are at a higher spiritual level than men and don’t need to do so. What I don’t understand is, we also need to work on middot refinement. What an opportunity to focus on different aspects and refine ourselves. Yet when I have brought this up to others in the past, I was met with a strong response of women don’t count omer period. But what if we want to focus on the middah of the day and refine ourselves? I don’t understand what is so “wrong” about it. Is there something I haven’t learned that would make this more clear?
Answer: This is an interesting question, especially the way it is set up.
Classically, counting of the Omer has nothing to do with perfecting ones Middot. Though that is a good thing to do the whole year, the notion that any night has any spiritual significance and character-altering qualities, is Kabbalistic in origin.
Traditionally, Jewish women refrain from blessing over any time bound Mitzvah. That would include Sefirat HaOmer. Sepharadic women are especially particular about this Halachah. Ashkenazi women (and some North African Sepharadim) are known to permit blessing on time bound Mitzvot, most notably due to a novel understanding of the concept by one of the giants of Ashkenaz, Rabbenu Tam. That being said, the custom among many women is to count without a blessing.
Those who oppose women counting – even without a blessing! – are the same Kabbalists who give these days so much meaning. They believe it to be entirely incorrect for women to count the Omer at all.
I am not a Kabbalist at all. But I would say that if you take their word when they say these days are meant to change character traits – you probably should take their word for it when they say not to count.
Just a note: in my house, my wife and I count Sefirat HaOmer together when possible, where I bless and we count together. We do the same with lighting Shabbat candles when possible, where she blesses and lights and stand with her.
Question: Erev tov Rabbi. The faithful among our people know that Hashem is the true judge and that everything He does is for our own good. Hence the reason why we say “Baruch Dayan HaEmet” when someone רחמנא ליצלן passes away. However, there those among us who think they know better than Hashem and attempt to equate the way the person died with the four methods of capital punishment mentioned in the Torah, as well as try to “figure out” the sins the person may have committed to warrant such a punishment. Have you ever heard of such a terrible thing? On what do they base their actions?
Answer: Shalom! The Torah says (Devarim 32:4): “The deeds of the [Mighty] Rock are perfect, for all His ways are just; a faithful God, without injustice He is righteous and upright.”
Many, especially among the Mekubalim, have used verses such as these to say that there is no way something Hashem does can be “wrong” or “bad”. Their conclusion was that certain actions could be tied to individual or communal events (positive and negative) that could explain “why” something happened.
I am not a Mekubal, but let me say that perhaps those Mekubalim of old knew the “pathways of the heavens” and therefore the words they said for their generations were true. But since when could those in our generation, about whom it is said “if the early ones were angels, we are humans; and if they were humans, we are donkeys!” – how could they dare speak as if they are those Mekubalim?
Regardless, the truth is that the way of our Bet Midrash, under HaRav Yaakov Peretz shlit”a, is very far away from this approach.
We follow the words of the Navi (Yeshayahu 55:8): “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” says Hashem.
We believe that the only way is to follow the first verse of Devarim with the humility of another verse in Devarim (18:13): “Be Tamim with Hashem, your God.”
Let us stay very far away from anyone who thinks they know why Hashem does what He does. The suffering and anguish they cause with their evil and false words have destroyed hearts and homes!
Instead, walk with Him in innocence and believe that one day we may begin to understand.
I have added a link to a video where I discuss something similar: https://youtu.be/AfWrMMkXPV8
Schlissel (Key) Challah
Question: Shalom HaRav, just a quick question from my mom. She is wondering if shlissel challah is only a Chassidish custom or if Sephardim do it as well. Please let us know. Thank you!
Answer: Shalom! No, this is not a Sepharadic (or Ashkenazi) tradition. Some Sepharadim do it, most definitely a “borrowed” custom from some of our Ashkenazi brethren. Unfortunately though, the chances are that it actually originates from a pagan custom.
The Rivash writes that one must be very careful when taking away another’s “custom” (for it really isn’t one) since it may really damage the rest of their observance. If it is something she does that makes her feel good, you should not make her stop, without first properly explaining the reasoning why and making sure it is accepted.
But, if she has not done this before – I absolutely do not recommend beginning it.
Regardless, the education we received from Morenu HaRav Yaakov Peretz shlit”a is to stay far away from Segulot, and even farther from possibly pagan ones!
We only wish to speak to Hashem directly – who needs trinkets and strange-looking breads?
You are welcome to listen to our audio recording on a similar topic: https://youtu.be/ud6kg7TeXTM
Side note: HaRav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv was once told that something he did was a Segulah to get into Gan Eden. He immediately got upset and said: “my whole life I have worked hard to enter Gan Eden through the front door, and now you wish to sneak me through the back door like a thief in the night?!”
For extra reading, I strongly suggest Googling an article called “Loaf of Idolatry”.
Tearing Toilet Paper on Shabbat
Question: Just came back home from helping with a mixed (Ashkenazi, Chassidim, and Sephardim) Pesach event. There were several situations (aside from kitniyot, gebrachts and nongebrachts issues) that left me with questions as a result of being in a mixed group and seeing and hearing different minhagim. Allow me one more question, please.
The issue of tearing toilet paper on Shabbos/Yom Tov came up. I was taught it is allowed as it is clearly not an action specific to building the mishkan. Yet…most people attending said that one cannot tear toilet paper on the lines on these days. Am I missing something?
Answer: The issue of tearing toilet paper on Shabbat is connected to the biblical prohibition of “tearing”.
Rabbi Ben Tzion Abba Shaul in his “Or L’Tzion” is very strict in this regard. Others argue with him about the seeveirty of the prohibition but still prohibit it.
The opinion of HaRav Yaakov Peretz shlit”a is that when one is stuck without tissues or pre-cut toilet paper, they can rip toilet paper on Shabbat in a way that differs from how they normally do it (Shinnui).
One should know that the nature of Chachme Sepharad is to be very particular about any laws that are prohibited in a Torah level, but to be very flexible in Halachot that are Rabbinic in nature. As this can be from the former category, it is wise to prepare precut toilet paper and/or tissues before Shabbat.
Note: No matter of Halachah should ever be divisive, especially not between family members. I cannot fathom how toilet paper is important enough to be discuss in public and cause discord among friends. Details are details and should remain such, not become primary topics of discussion.
Music During Sefirat HaOmer
Question: I know Ashkenazim don’t listen to music during the first part of the Omer and the reasons why. What about Sephardim?
Answer: Fantastic question! For the record, this is actually not an Ashkenazi/Sepharadi question.
The Talmud, Rambam and Shulchan Aruch prohibit music until the third Bet HaMikdash will be rebuilt. The later authorities seemed to have looked the other way and allowed the Jewish people to listen to music throughout our exile.
Some Acharonim (later authorities) felt that even though that may be the case, it would be fitting to refrain from listening to music during the times we mourn for the Bet HaMikdash. This somehow carried over to Sefirat HaOmer, but if you look at the sources, you will see they are not very strong – and not very old!
A side note: Rav Mazouz in Bene Berak hosts Sephardic musical concerts on Friday’s after midday in his Yeshivah (either during Sefirat HaOmer or during the three weeks, I do not recall). When challenged with providing his source that states one can play live music then, he responded: “It is a similar source to yours that prohibits music during this time – there isn’t one!” | <urn:uuid:149415f8-2735-4e7a-aa9e-276530194690> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://rabbiyoni.com/2018/04/shiviti-learning-forum-qa-highlights-1/ | 2019-07-17T08:22:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525133.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717081450-20190717103450-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.956244 | 2,871 |
A sermon on Luke 4:14-21 & 1 Corinthians 12:12-31
Have you ever noticed how whenever there is a significant revival of religious fervour, it seems to produce crusades against those who are seen as insufficiently religious? The ones who are fired up with new religious enthusiasm become very hostile towards those who don’t share their beliefs or their rigour. Sinners are named and shamed and called to repentance, and if they fail to repent, they are shunned and run out of town. Sometimes this turns to outright violence. Alleged witches have been lynched, heretics have been burned at the stake, and pagans have been forced to convert or be slaughtered. However misguided Islamic State’s understanding of Islam may be, they are a revival movement, and their zealousness and brutality have been matched many times by equally misguided Christian revivals. Their apocalyptic view of a violent purifying war between the forces of heaven and hell is not at all unique, and their call for everyone to take sides and rid the world of sinners and infidels has plenty of precedents, Christian as well as Muslim.
Most of us here have been part of churches at some stage of our journeys that saw the mission of Jesus as being first and foremost, and perhaps entirely, focussed on saving people’s souls from ending up in hell. We were told that to avoid hell, we had to believe rightly and behave rightly, purifying ourselves and rising up against evil and religious impurity. And this teaching was often reinforced by highlighting the alleged evils of those categories of people who were clearly destined for hell. Recognising their corruptness and keeping ourselves from being polluted by their poisonous company was a big part of how we defined ourselves and knew ourselves to be the good, the chosen, the saved, the blessed. We knew who we were and we knew who they were and the dividing lines were very very clear.
The main problem with thinking that Jesus’s main agenda was separating the good from the evil to save us from hell is that it takes almost no account of how Jesus himself described his main agenda. In tonight’s gospel reading, we heard Jesus setting out his mission statement in his first recorded public preaching in his home town of Nazareth. He quotes from the prophet Isaiah:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to let the oppressed go free,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.
And then he opens his sermon by stating, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” Or in other words, “This is what we’re on about, and now we are underway. You are all invited to get on board.”
We will hear the rest of what he had to say next Sunday, and we will hear that the result was that the people we so outraged that they ran him out of town and very nearly killed him on the spot. At first glance you’d be excused for wondering why. He doesn’t explicitly criticise or condemn anyone. If he had been preaching hellfire and damnation and telling the people that they were sinners destined to burn, then you might understand their anger. But he doesn’t say any such thing. There is no mention of hell at all or of anyone being cut off or condemned. The needy are going to hear good news, the oppressed and imprisoned are going to be set free, the blind are going to have their eyes opened, and the Lord’s chosen time will be announced. That’s not exactly the typical religious revival, but why would it provoke such a hostile response? What sacred cows are being threatened by this agenda?
Quite a few actually. Sometimes the crucial thing is what is not said. You know how this works, because we laugh about it with our politicians all the time. “Minister, can you promise us that poverty will be halved by this time next year?” “Well, can I just say that our government is absolutely committed to doing the right thing by all Australians and that our policies are the right policies for these difficult times, blah, blah, blah.” That would be a ‘no’ then, wouldn’t it? So perhaps the crucial thing about Jesus’s mission statement is not just what he says, but what he was expected to say but declines to say. If you are a young preacher preaching revival, what you are expected to say is that God is angry about the evil in the world, and is coming to set things right and punish the evil doers. Then those who think of themselves as the victims, the sinned against, which is usually all of us – have you noticed how even in a prosperous country like ours, almost everyone still thinks they are among the battlers? – we all hear that as a vindication because God’s anger is directed against our enemies, so we must be okay, we must be the good ones. If we are not struggling with external enemies at the time, then we will find internal ones, and our young revivalists will be expected to rail against the alleged evils of sabbath breaking or alcohol or homosexuality or Islam or whatever it is this year. This is safe ground for young revivalistic preachers. Breathe fire against whoever the people fear. God is coming to destroy them. Will you good people rise up and offer yourselves as the sword in God’s hand? It’s money for jam.
But Jesus is not looking for the easy path to popularity. He has just returned from the wilderness where the devil tempted him with the path of easy popularity. You can hear the echoes of that in this story still. We are told that “the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.” There’s his opportunity. Say something popular and do something miraculous like they’d heard he had done elsewhere. The devil’s temptations are continuing, but Jesus doesn’t take the bait. In fact, he goes so far as to edit out the very bits the people are itching to hear. When Isaiah said “to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour,”, the very next words were “and the day of vengeance of our God.” There’s your favourite revivalist, rise-up-against-God’s-enemies, theme right there. That’s what the people wanted to hear. But Jesus pointedly cuts it short, rolls up the scroll, hands it back to the attendant, and sits down. And as we will hear next Sunday, with all eyes on him and the opportunity to explain himself, he leaves us in no doubt that his editing was deliberate. The ones you hoped God was coming to destroy are actually among the beloved of God, and this message of good news and freedom and recovery of sight is just as much for despised foreigners as for you. If you want to know how well that sells, try turning up at an Australia Day rally on Tuesday with a big sign saying that God intends to show love and mercy to jihadi terrorists just as much as to flag-waving Australians, and see how long you last. Or turn up at a Christian family values rally with a sign saying that God has sent you to proclaim good news of welcome to the homosexuals and mercy to the abortionists.
In stark contrast to the normal religious revival agenda of identifying and excluding the alleged targets of God’s wrath, Jesus deliberately and systematically edits out references to vengeance and punishment, and proclaims an agenda of gathering in the outcasts, the excluded, the despised, and the downtrodden. The very ones seen as dangerous pollutants who will corrupt pure religion. He proclaims an emerging culture of radical love and mercy with no boundaries and no limits. Everyone, without exception, is invited to get on board. No one has to measure up before they are welcome. Instead of “measure up and you will be saved”, the message is that “you are saved, you are loved and forgiven, and therefore you are now set free to grow into the fullness of life and love that you were created for.” Now you are released to reflect the love and mercy you have been shown.
The Apostle Paul expressed the same radical and unexpected message in the extract we heard tonight from his Corinthian correspondence. He too was messing with the imagery to subvert what the people were expecting to hear. The image of the community as a single body made up of many members with different functions came straight out of the mainstream political rhetoric of his day. Roman emperors, senators and governors were very fond of this image because it told the ordinary people that they should be happy with their humble position, respect the position of their betters, and play their part in building the society. It was essentially a pragmatic argument. Everyone has a role to play and society will benefit from everyone pulling their weight. It is not uncommon to hear Paul’s words being preached with the same message, but in fact, Paul subverts that message. When he advocates a radical inclusion and honouring of everyone, he doesn’t argue it from the perceived benefits. Instead he argues that we must do this because it is what Christ is like. Jesus is all inclusive, and so therefore we, as his church, must be all inclusive. We have all been baptised into Christ, and so there is no basis on which we can now start excluding anyone. It is not that there are no differences, there clearly are. Jew or Greek, slave or free, black or white, conservative or liberal, gay or straight, yuppie or bogan, left or right, hand, foot or ear – we are all different, and yet we are all one in Christ, baptised into his one body, eating his one bread and drinking of his one Spirit.
When we, in this church, continually seek to find ways to more clearly express an inclusiveness that gathers in those who might otherwise be excluded on grounds of age, race, language, religion, capability, sexual identity, or immigration status, it is not because we are trying to express some bland, liberal, politically correct, anything-goes tolerance. It is because we have an evangelical commitment to being faithful to the agenda that Jesus proclaimed as his agenda and the agenda of his people, and to the agenda that Paul and the apostles carried on fearlessly in the face of nationalistic and religious persecution. We are not just bleeding hearts trying to be nice. We are followers of Jesus trying to work out how to live up to his example. This is the gospel. God’s love and mercy and welcome are for everyone, no favourites, no exceptions, no entrance tests. It’s not popular. You can get yourself killed for it. Jesus did. But it is the gospel, pure and simple. It is hard work. Hanging out with your own kind is so much easier and more instantly gratifying. Learning to communicate and love across cultural boundaries is challenging. Being reconciled to those one thought of as undesirables or enemies is terrifying and complicated. But it is the gospel. It is what Jesus died for. It is what we have been baptised into. And ultimately it is who Jesus is, and, because Jesus is God’s ultimate self-revelation, it is the ultimate truth of who God is. So, as those baptised into his body, his agenda, his mission, it is who we are called and destined to be. | <urn:uuid:28aec910-1f62-4fa3-b6ff-eb427df2315f> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://southyarrabaptist.church/sermons/upsetting-the-agenda/?player=audio | 2019-07-17T09:21:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525133.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717081450-20190717103450-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.98078 | 2,422 |

Make Dollars On The Penny: Understanding The Customer Lifetime Value aaron / August 4, 2017
The customer lifetime value, or CLV, is one of the most important statistics in business. The CLV helps owners determine the revenue attributed to the entire relationship with a customer, present and future. It is a powerful statistic when looking at where to invest resources, especially when comparing the cost of marketing to an existing customer versus acquiring a new customer. Ultimately, it helps owners analyze marketing investments and new service offerings.
While there are many ways to arrive at the CLV, in the vending and micro-market industry, it is easiest to look at the average revenue from a location for a given time period and then multiply that number by the years the location is expected to remain a customer (based on projections or the average customer retention rate). For example, let’s say the account averages $5,000 over 4 weeks. In a year, that is $60,000. If you retain a customer on average for 7 years, that location is worth $420,000 over the lifetime of the customer.
The Role Of Quality Marketing In CLV
A key statistic to compare with the CLV is the cost to acquire a new customer, or CAC. This number can be found by first determining the money spent on advertising to and acquiring new customers, such as those associated with digital marketing, sales people, e-mail marketing, etc., over a given time period. Divide the cost by the number of leads that became customers over that time period. Although the cost per customer is often higher than marketing to existing customers, this doesn’t mean marketing to new customers isn’t worth doing.
The cost of a quality marketing services can pay for itself with just one new location. For example, say a digital marketing service costs $1,000 per month. That’s $12,000 a year and might make a bookkeeper question the expense. However, if the program adds even one new customer, it could more than quadruple sales when you calculate the CLV. Consider the following example:
Digital market campaign to attract customers Cost: $1,000 per month. For 5 years: $60,000
from campaign Revenue per week Revenue per year LVC (keep for 5 years)
Micro market account $1,000 $52,000 $260,000
Office coffee account $350 $18,200 $91,000
Vending account $500 $26,000 $130,000
Total gross LVC sales across all three accounts $481,000
That one digital marketing service delivered 8 times its cost in revenue. In the end, most business owners find that by using the CLV, they can invest a little and make a lot.

Hello, I'm Brandon.
I live in Langley with my beautiful wife, Karina and our son, Hudson. My love for videography started in middle school when I first borrowed my dad’s old sony handycam. At that moment I was hooked. I began shooting just about anything I could from short films, to music videos and a few weddings. At that point I knew that this is what I wanted to do with my life.
After high school I attended Capilano University and graduated with an Advanced Diploma in Motion Picture Production. Since then I have filmed many weddings, produced one award winning short film along with receiving nominations for others and created corporate pieces. I also have travelled to Uganda, Haiti, India and Cuba shooting for non-profit organizations and other mini documentaries. I currently spend most of my time specializing in storytelling and branded content.
Simply put, I have a desire to authentically tell stories that inspire change. I enjoy working with people who are creative and passionate about what they do. I believe great stories are worth being told, and if you have a great story, I want to hear from you.

Today, the girls and I go hiking. We take a trail that hugs the edge of a large bluff, one side, a wall of black rock, veined in wildflower and native grass, the other side, a steep drop to the dark sea. The trail curves around the tip of a peninsula, rising and falling along the coast for about six kilometers. One section passes through the ruins of a sixteenth century settlement. It weaves around crumbling stone foundations, dank root cellars, an old cemetery, headstones wiped clean by the wind. We stop to rest by a twisted dock, it’s silvered deck stretching out about fifty feet into the water. The girls run to the edge and peer down. “Hey, Mom, you can see all the way to the bottom! And Oh, Oh!! Look at the jellyfish” They hop around, squat down, point, squeal. Then they run back, slip off their shoes and jackets, and dip their feet into the frigid surf. My youngest finds handfuls of treasure, tiny whorled shells, jointed crab legs, striped and speckled stones. I watch her, head bent, examine every stone. Her pockets are always full, trinkets everywhere we go, the familiar thunking of my dryer: coins, shards of sea glass, shiny bolts. Today, she runs toward me, tiny hand open, on the face of her palm a shard of pottery, the corners rubbed smooth by the waves, the blue design still bright, still clear, a puzzle piece of sky, blue and white clouds. I turn it over, and on the back, the stamp of the maker, Davenport. “Maybe it’s a plate from the Titanic,” my older daughter whispers, tilting over my hand in examination. She’s a history buff, who knows the Titanic sunk not far from this very shore. She’s read the books and magazines, seen the images of broken lives resting on the sea floor. “It’s possible,” she shrugs. I guess it is. It’s also possible it’s from any of the ships that lay wrecked and broken under these waters. I glance around and instead of the blue green waves, see six hundred years of sunken boats and sunken men.
I stop by the post office on the way home to grab our mail, and mixed among the grocery ads, and a flyer for lawn service, is a postcard addressed to a Mrs. Badcock. The name reminds me of our hike, the warped dock snaking out to the water from the deserted, overgrown shore. The old, rotting dock, with the words BADCOCK FAMILY DOCK carved into the soft wood. I’d wondered how many seasons that dock had endured, how many cruel winters, how many crashing waves. How many Badcock men had moored their fishing boats there, gutted buckets of cod, how many children had hung their skinny legs over the edge, pointing at jellyfish, how many wives and mothers had waved at retreating boats, gazing down at the yellow seagrass just under the surface. Years of people, years of stories. I wondered if Mrs. Badcock ever walked this trail, traced the outline of her last name under her fingers, felt the familiar ghosts.
We look up Davenport Pottery when we get home. England, 1800’s. We see many pictures of plates, cups and saucers, tureens, serving pieces, all of them that same shade of deep blue, creamy white. Flourishes of flowers crowd their surfaces, paintings of barns and boats, houses, men and women, children, birds, and clouds, like the ones on our piece. The rest of the day I wonder about the pottery piece. What are the odds we find the piece that has the name? The piece that gives us a clue to its story? I prefer the mystery though. I prefer our stories. Our tales of shipwreck, of shattered lives lasting hundreds of years in the rolling waves until a piece lands on that particular beach on that particular day and waits patiently for us to lift it from the shore and carry it home in our pockets. I put it on a shelf by my journal to remind me of possibility, that everything has mystery and an infinite number of stories. I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it long after I leave this island, there’s a deep, deep history here, and it’s alive. There’s a history here and pages and pages of a stories that need telling. So many stories. I need to remember to look around and to listen, to everything, the people, the sea, the stones, the trails, even mistakenly placed mail. I need to remember to stay present, to watch the ground for clues and treasures, and I need to remember to fill my pockets so I don’t forget. My characters are in infancy, but defining themselves a little more everyday. Their histories are beginning to shape themselves, but their voices and their lives are still pretty wavy and distorted, seagrass just under the surface. When the tide goes out, I better be ready. I better be waiting with empty pockets. | <urn:uuid:a9474a76-f70d-459b-8fc9-b56998c786bf> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.jenlambert.org/blog/head-down-pockets-empty/ | 2019-07-17T08:21:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525133.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717081450-20190717103450-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.94987 | 1,101 |
Opp intensifies unity efforts ahead of presidential poll
The BJP's thumping victories in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand has lent a sense of urgency to the opposition's efforts to forge unity ahead of the presidential election.
CPI-M general secretary Sitaram Yechury met Congress president Sonia Gandhi to explore the possibility of fielding a joint candidate, while RJD boss Lalu Prasad talked about cobbling together a Bihar-style 'Mahagathbandhan'. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee called for a larger unity among regional parties to take on the BJP.
Yechury called on Gandhi on Thursday, hours after she met Bihar Chief Minister and JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar.
"We are right now meeting all the opposition secular forces to find a common candidate," Yechury said about the meeting.
"Yechury and Gandhi discussed the possibility of fielding a candidate acceptable to all secular opposition parties.
Gandhi responded positively to a suggestion in this connection by the CPI(M) leader," a source in the Left party said.
The CPI(M) is also in talks with NCP supremo Sharad Pawar and RJD chief Lalu Prasad.
"The opposition leaders are likely to meet shortly to discuss the issue formally," the source said.
Though JD(U) spokesman K C Tyagi had on Thursday insisted that the issue of presidential election was not discussed during Kumar's meeting with Gandhi, he said the party was of the view that a strong joint opposition candidate was in national interest.
"There should be a joint opposition candidate for the top constitutional post and Sonia Gandhi being the leader of the largest opposition party should take the lead," he said.
In Patna, Lalu made a strong pitch for a broader alliance of opposition parties.
"Wherever the parties of social justice or regional political entities have come together we have won. We want Mayawati, Congress, Mamata Banerjee, (SP president) Akhilesh ji to come together to defeat the communal and fascist forces," he said.
He referred to the success of the grand alliance of RJD JD(U) and Congress in Bihar where it stalled the BJP's juggernaut in the assembly election in 2015.
Notwithstanding their differences, Nitish Kumar and Lalu had joined hands ahead of the assembly election. Kumar heads the grand alliance government in Bihar despite his party having fewer seats than RJD. Mamata Banerjee, meanwhile, called upon regional parties to unite to take on the BJP which, she alleged, has unleashed "vendetta politics" against those opposed to it and wanted to take the country on a "dangerous path."
"What is going on in the country in the name of politics is not politics. The situation demands all regional parties to unite," Banerjee told party workers at a meeting in Kolkata shortly after being re-elected as chairperson of Trinamool Congress for six years. | <urn:uuid:0ba5b317-6ed7-4830-a0b7-26ea569407cc> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | http://www.millenniumpost.in/nation/opp-intensifies-unity-efforts-ahead-of-presidential-poll-237872 | 2019-07-17T08:51:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525133.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717081450-20190717103450-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.967698 | 613 |
How Solar Powered Micro-Grids are Changing the Way We Use Energy
What if you never had to experience another energy blackout, or pay another power bill, or rely on the municipal power supply? No, we’re not talking about moving to the sticks and living in an off-grid cabin. We’re talking about a sophisticated piece of technology that allows you to generate and retain all of your own power without paying for power from the local utility company.
This technique being implemented by hospitals, universities, homes, and businesses all over the world is known as the micro-grid. In fact, the technology isn’t actually new at all, but with the rising popularity of privately owned solar panels, more and more people are realizing that a micro-grid is the perfect solution to managing their own power and being free from reliance on the utility grid.
Power Plants vs Solar Panels
Power plants are big, expensive, sometimes dangerous, and produce way more energy than most companies, organizations, or even whole neighborhoods could reasonably use. It makes sense for only large utilities to own and operate them because they’re not practical for local private use and ownership. They are a central energy production system capable of supplying huge amounts of power to homes and businesses far away from each plant by way of the public grid.
Solar panels, on the other hand, are small, affordable, safe to work with, and each can produce a portion of the energy needed for any single business or home. This makes them incredibly practical for private ownership and the recent rise in availability and drop in costs means that almost anyone can afford to kit out their building, vehicle, or land with at least a little bit of solar power. Those with larger installations can provide enough energy to power the entire building, facility, or neighborhood, at least while the sun is shining. Even the utilities are installing fields full of solar and batteries.
The one thing power plants and solar panels have in common, other than energy generation, is that they can’t do anything on their own with the power they create. It has to go somewhere. With power plants, energy flows into the shared grid connecting homes and businesses which all consume that power. Solar panels also need a power structure and that’s where micro-grids come in.
By definition, a micro-grid is any power infrastructure that can be connected to or separated from the primary power grid and remain operational as an “energy island”. Hospitals often use micro-grids in conjunction with emergency generators to prevent blackouts from stopping life support machines, turning off lights in the middle of surgery, and cutting them off from their computer system. Normally, their grid would pull from the power plant supply of energy but when this isn’t available, they separate and work from the generator for a while. In hurricane ravaged Puerto Rico, solar micro-grids supplied power for some people long before the public utility grid came back online.
However, solar power micro-grids are becoming increasingly popular for both homes and businesses that never needed a backup generator. After all, why suffer a blackout while the sun is shining on your solar array and producing plenty of energy to power your lights and computers? While many people connect their solar panels directly to the main grid and sell their surplus energy for power bill credits via net-metering, a micro-grid allows you to either connect and sell or keep the solar energy for your own private use instead. Generating, storing and using your own power is called self consumption, and these systems can also supply backup power when the grid fails.
Becoming Entirely Self-Sufficient
Of course, once you start generating and using your own energy only your budget can stop you from becoming entirely self-sufficient and breaking off from the main grid entirely. But what about when the sun isn’t shining? With micro-grids, you can channel the day’s energy into your own power demands but you’ll also need batteries to collect the excess on sunny days to keep you going during nights and cloudy weather.
Fortunately, micro-grid packages come with an energy storage system to do just that. With enough power generation and a properly sized battery bank, you’re well on the way to complete energy self-sufficiency.
Micro-Grids for Neighborhoods
While we’ve been talking about the benefits of a micro-grid for a single homes and buildings, there are no rules saying how big or small a micro-grid has to be or how many people it can support. If you love the idea of a micro-grid but find it cost prohibitive, share a multi-unit home, or dream of building a larger energy self-sufficient community, you can build a shared micro-grid with others nearby. Whole residential neighborhoods are already pooling their resources to set up a local micro-grid that will be powered by dozens of residential solar panels and batteries. This could be the future of local distributed power.
Upsetting the Power Structure
Renewable energy used efficiently for private homes and businesses is a wonderful thing. The less energy we need from the power plants, the fewer fossil fuels will be burned and the closer we get to repairing the environment, not to mention avoiding costly disasters involved with city-wide power outages. However, there is one group that actually suffers from the increasing implementation of solar panels and micro-grids: The power companies themselves. For decades they have been the stalwart defenders between us and the un-powered darkness and have planned for production and expenses many years in advance. The difference is that now any particular home or business can install solar panels and batteries thus becoming a wild-card.
Will customers need more power this year? If so, how much? And if they do draw from the grid, are they giving back surplus solar, and if so, are they paying anything on their monthly bill? All these question marks make these slow changing industries understandably nervous, but it’s also necessary that they adapt to the fast-approaching future. While they may not like the variability of independently owned renewable energy, it’s also a change they can’t and shouldn’t stop. Some utilities see the writing on the wall and are installing their own massive battery banks to stabilize the grid in these times of distributed generation.
How you can get started
Solar power and micro-grids aren’t just a fad, they’re the most practical modern energy solution available today. There has never been a better time to reduce or even eliminate the power bill and start on the path toward energy resiliency. mtvSolar routinely installs self-sufficient hybrid residential battery backup systems that automatically operate off-grid when the utility fails. Because the batteries are only used during an outage, they last a very long time. In the mid-Atlantic area of WV, MD, PA and VA, there are no time of use charges for residential customers and they have full 1-to-1 net metering, however should that change having a battery backup system also permits self consumption.

We Need Anti-Air Weaponry
I tired of punks jumping into a fighter on GA and players on the ground can do nothing to stop them. The Heavy's Vehicle Turret is a joke because the missiles are too slow and only shoot 2 at a time with long cool downs between. If they unloaded all 8 at a time, they might hit something. Nobody uses them because they are that useless. The only thing they can be used for is for is destroying Troop Turrets. Heavies needs something they can actually aim at fighters. Also there could be Repulse Cannons for Specialists.

As a child growing up in Waipahu, Dr. Wilfred Miyasaki spent a lot of time at the dentist because he had so many cavities. But, he hated going to the dentist. That’s why as a child he knew that he wanted to become a dentist to make dental visits more pleasurable for others. For Dr. Miyasaki, it has always been about helping the patients. He challenges himself daily to further understand what his patients really want – their fears, their desires, their dreams about their teeth, and how all of it fits into their lives.
Dr. Wilfred especially loves when he is able to crack those difficult cases. The smiles, thank yous, cookies, and hugs that he receives from grateful patients is the most rewarding part of his job. Should he have a bad day, Dr. Miyasaki simply remembers all of his blessings, and the bad day goes away!
To ensure that his patients are receiving the best possible treatment, Dr. Miyasaki constantly furthers his knowledge about innovations in dentistry by annually attending 50-100 hours of continuing education classes through the Pankey Institute and the Las Vegas Institute of Cosmetic Dentistry, among other organizations. He does this to help make people’s lives and smiles the best they can be. That goal starts by providing you with individualized attention and care, so you’ll be proud to share your smile with Honolulu and the world.
Dr. Wilfred and his son are currently practicing together, but it is his dream to someday pass the practice entirely to Dr. David and then retire here in our beautiful state. | <urn:uuid:874a69cb-7bec-456b-b099-b248a6451c6a> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://bestdentisthonolulu.com/about-us/dr-wilfred-miyasaki/ | 2019-07-17T09:28:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525133.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717081450-20190717103450-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.980521 | 329 |
How To Become A Dominant In The Bedroom
Learn how you could become a Dominant in the bedroom
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the latest way to inject some sizzle into your sex life is with a generous dollop of kink. Ok, not the latest way. But although fetish, kink and BDSM have been practised for centuries, it is certainly enjoying plenty of the limelight right now, thanks to the 50 Shades of Grey saga.
Just what is Dominance and submission? Why are they sexy? Is this whole thing something that ‘normal’ couples get up to in the privacy of their bedrooms, decorated like a red room of pain or otherwise?
Dominance is the act of control over your partner or lover (the distinction clear that it may be someone with whom you have sexual relations or not) for sexual or psychological, mutual and consensual, pleasure. Submission is the act of submitting your mind and body to your partner or lover (again, someone you may or may not have sex with) for your mutual enjoyment; physically, mentally or both. There’s nothing wrong or strange about these practices, they are perhaps at a different place on the sexuality spectrum than you are used to dabbling; that’s not to say they on a different spectrum entirely.
In all cases, communication is of the utmost importance. Make sure you take things slowly and at all times be sure that your partner is happy with the way things are going. Avoid mouth gags until such time that you can be sure of another action meaning ‘stop’, than a spoken safeword.
A spoken safeword is a word you would not normally say in a given situation (such as ‘giraffe’, ‘orange’, ‘lemmings’ etc), that means ‘stop what’s happening right now’. ‘Stop’ or ‘no’ doesn’t always mean those exact things in the context of Dominance and submission, or even during sex and acting out sexual fantasies!
“Being Dominant” encompasses a lot more than merely slapping some handcuffs on your chosen ‘submissive’ and flailing around with a flogger, enjoying the sound of your own berating voice. Here, however, we will be looking at what may be your first foray into the world of Dominance over your partner – in a mutually enjoyable and completely consensual way, of course.
Becoming The Dominant Man
If your partner wants you to become more Dominant in the bedroom, you may wish to try out bondage. There are many bedroom bondage kits available, such as the First Time Fantasy Bondage Kit and even ones to affix to your mattress, making bondage easy and available any time you like, such as a Bed Bindings Restraint Bondage Kit.
Once you have your partner bound with cuffs to their wrists and ankles, you can explore other tantalising methods to arouse them, such as inserting some teasing, vaginal jiggle balls (also known as Kegel Balls or Ben Wa Balls). You could also use a simple Lady Finger Vibrator or Mini Vibrator to stimulate erogenous zones such as nipples, vulva, perineum and inner thighs until they are writhing in pleasurable submission to you.
Shop all mini vibrators here.
Embracing The Domme In You
If he wishes you to become the bedroom Dominatrix, what better way than to bind him using some bondage restraints, then dim his vision with a Satin Love Mask. This will have the added bonus of helping you retain your confidence during the roleplay session too.
Some light spanking may be required – but if want to save your hand why not grab an Oval Paddle. Paddles are easy to use and fantastic for warming up their soft buttocks ready for the more intense impact play of a crop such as a Metal Tipped Riding Crop.
Many men fantasise about having a strap on sex set used on them, but many couples don’t know where to start. The Fetish Fantasy First Timers Strap On Dildo Set has been designed especially for beginners to strap ons, with a small size dildo shaped for the most comfortable anal entry for him, even if it’s his first anal sex toy outing. Don’t forget the water based lubricant!
Enjoying The Kink
Once you have discovered a bit more about each others’ kinks and desires of a Dominance and submission nature, you can enjoy delving a bit further into kink every time. Taking things at a pace you are both comfortable with, keep the lines of communication open and research the different ways in which you can exert Dominance or show your submission to pleasure your partner, for example by reading articles like this one online or by purchasing one of the many books on the subject.
When you are the one in control, even if it is just for a temporary time during bedroom roleplay, you take responsibility for your partner’s enjoyment and their physical safety, especially if you include bondage. Make sure they are always able to communicate with you in some way, if they need to. If you are uncertain of their emotional comfort at any time, don’t be afraid to stop what you’re doing and check with them.
No matter how erotic the session seems to you, or how electric the atmosphere, it isn’t worth never being able to dabble again because your partner feels unable to trust that you will care for them adequately throughout the session. Afterwards, make sure you give lots of what is known as ‘aftercare’. Cuddles, reassurance and if wanted, a discussion about what took place. Submission is a very emotional experience and requires a lot of trust in you as the Dominant partner, so respect should be given where it is due.

It was the mid 1980’s that Easter began to mean something real to me. The movie “The Ten Commandments” with Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner was made in 1956 when I was a year old. Watching it at that time was not something I was interested in but 36 years later I was. I had seen the movie before but for some reason this Easter season watching it again made a life changing difference.
My life was in crisis but growing up in a Christian home and family was my foundation. I knew what Easter was about and had accepted Christ into my heart at a very young age, but realizing what Christ did on the cross for me showed up in that movie. Maybe it was the great acting or that it seemed so real. Whatever it was I was glued to the TV set. God uses all kinds of ways to get our attention. At the time I didn’t know that but now I am sure it was God.
Since then I have thought many times of how Moses lived through all that he did. After all he did not want the job of bringing the Israelites out of Egypt nor did he ask for it. Many of us can probably relate to that; doing those requests of God that we don’t want or feel incapable of accomplishing.
I have also thought over and over how Moses like many others in the Bible survived living in the wilderness. I am sure he must have thought that he was going to die out there; no water, no food or shelter and no one to talk to. Or so he thought. Living in today’s society is like the “survival of the fittest.” Just like Moses, we have to lean on God to survive. That is how Moses found his way and it works the same for us. God designed us to need him.
Another aspect that Charlton Heston portrayed so well in the movie to me was how much Moses is just like we are. He basically argued with God about the whole deal; he was lacking in faith that God could and would do what he said, and cried out to God for help on a regular basis. But then putting myself in his position I would not have wanted to free the Israelites either. The truth is God doesn’t need our permission to create us to live out our destiny. He placed in each one of us His calling. It is up to us to discover what that is so he can show us how to achieve that goal.
The destiny we all have as Moses did is very important. Getting there is just as important. The reason being is that seeking to find our destiny is only achieved by getting close to God. I can only imagine what Moses thought at times. Questions like “Why am I here God?” or “How can you use me?” When he discovered he would become the “Deliverer” I wonder what his reaction was.
Did he know his 40 years in the wilderness was part of God’s classroom to teach him how to listen and trust God? Did he realize God had been planning his life since birth to accomplish one of the most incredible miracles in history? Did Moses catch a glimpse of the signs God was giving him about his future when he was younger?
I have also wondered how he put up with the Israelites with their complaining and total disregard for what God was doing for them. It is evident in the Bible how irritated he became with the Israelites. But then who wouldn’t be?
Maybe that is how God feels about us at times. I have learned over the years how great and deep God’s mercy, grace and forgiveness are for us. He goes beyond the necessary and gives us a way out of the messes we make for ourselves.
Twenty years later the cross is my answer to every one of life’s problems. Jesus died and took those problems. I am not saying that I have arrived but at least I know where to go when I need help; the foot of the cross.
This Easter I hope that you will seek Jesus knowing he is the answer. Easter is the recognizable place for new beginnings. It sets the stage for transformation, renewal and blessings. The realization of what Jesus did on the cross should shake the hearts of us all to see the truth of how much God loves us.
As Easter approaches, look for the signs in your life that God is speaking to you. It might be in a book, another person or who knows, even a movie.

There has been no name more renowned and revered than that of the late, great Tupac Amaru Shakur. The son of freedom fighters, Pac embodied a persona that resonated with millions throughout the world. The stories about him are almost mythical in proportion and, though he ded almost 20 years ago, his legend continues to grow, even today.
One element of Tupac’s legacy is detailed in briefly in Ben Westhoff’s new book Original Gangstas: The Untold Story of Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Tupac Shakur, and the Birth of West Coast Rap. In this excerpt, Westhoff describes the meeting between the Bloods and Crips that Pac was instrumental in organizing and the birth of the THUG LIFE code of conduct:
In the early nineties heavily armed gangs dominated the projects; if you wanted to use the gym at Jordan Downs, you didn’t call the building managers, you contacted the Grape Street Crips. Crossing into another’s territory, even if you weren’t a gang member, was taking your life in your hands. Which is what made the 1992 gang truce between the Bloods and Crips there so astonishing. It was marshaled in part by former NFL star Jim Brown, who met with members of both sets in locations including his Hollywood Hills home, in hopes of breaking the cycle of gang violence.
Following the L.A. riots, representatives of the Watts gangs, including Grape Street Crips, PJ Watts Crips, Bounty Hunter Bloods, and Hacienda Village Bloods, met on one another’s turfs. These were summits, raucous parties, and family picnics all in one.
Fights interrupted the proceedings, and a police helicopter descended upon the scene to break things up. But the meetings produced fruit; the involved parties agreed to abide by a twenty-six-point treaty, a code of ethics for the drug‑dealing game to reduce violence and harm to the community at large. Its bullet points decried selling to the underage and pregnant, as well as protecting civilians and making the hood “safe for squares.”
This was the code Tupac and Mopreme had dreamed up in Oakland before the truce meetings took place. They called it Thug Life, and had received help from Mopreme’s father, Mutulu Shakur, locked up at Lompoc federal prison upstate, who put it to paper. Mopreme said their thinking was: “If we could just put a governor on the greed and focus on survival, we might save a few lives.”
It’s extraordinary that Tupac was able to facilitate this. He’d only recently arrived in California and didn’t come from a gangbanging background. But suddenly the hardest gangbangers were enlisting his counsel. Tupac’s Black Panthers connections, with whom he’d stayed in touch even after moving away from his mother, helped connect him with these veteran Watts gang members, who loved his music and what he stood for. “I got people in the penitentiary, big‑time OG criminals, calling me, telling me they want me to lead their movement,” Tupac explained.
Tupac didn’t attend the Watts truce negotiations, but his involvement was critical in facilitating it. And he did attend a treaty with similar goals in Brooklyn, where shot‑calling drug dealers from all over New York City — the Bronx, Queens, Harlem, Brooklyn — discussed the Thug Life code and worked on resolving their differences. “They were running the streets on the East Coast back then,” said Mopreme. “Different gangs, different groups, but they’re all doing the same shit.”
There wasn’t unanimous consensus, but simply getting everyone to the table was an example of Tupac’s extraordinary diplomatic and community‑building abilities, which he undertook with no fanfare in the midst of an exploding recording and film career. In a move reminiscent of Johnny Cash, Tupac even performed before inmates at Lompoc. Mutulu hosted the event, in which Tupac, Mopreme, and others rapped at the federal prison in 1993. (Mopreme noted that the boys behind bars were particularly glad to see the pulchritudinous female R&B group that accompanied them, called Y?N‑Vee.)
Though the Watts truce eventually petered out, those involved believed it contributed to the dramatic drop in Los Angeles gang violence, which continues today.
(The full excert can be read on HipHopDX, here.)
For reference, this is the THUG LIFE 26-point platform (via MutuluShakur.com):
1. All new Jacks to the game must know: a) He’s going to get rich. b) He’s going to jail. c) He’s going to die.
2. Crew Leaders: You are responsible for legal/financial payment commitments to crew members; your word must be your bond.
3. One crew’s rat is every crew’s rat. Rats are now like a disease; sooner or later we all get it; and they should too.
4. Crew leader and posse should select a diplomat, and should work ways to settle disputes. In unity, there is strength!
5. Car jacking in our Hood is against the Code.
6. Slinging to children is against the Code.
7. Having children slinging is against the Code.
8. No slinging in schools.
9. Since the rat Nicky Barnes opened his mouth; ratting has become accepted by some. We’re not having it.
10. Snitches is outta here.
11. The Boys in Blue don’t run nothing; we do. Control the Hood, and make it safe for squares.
12. No slinging to pregnant Sisters. That’s baby killing; that’s genocide!
13. Know your target, who’s the real enemy.
14. Civilians are not a target and should be spared.
15. Harm to children will not be forgiven.
16. Attacking someone’s home where their family is known to reside, must be altered or checked.
17. Senseless brutality and rape must stop.
18. Our old folks must not be abused.
19. Respect our Sisters. Respect our Brothers.
20. Sisters in the Life must be respected if they respect themselves.
21. Military disputes concerning business areas within the community must be handled professionally and not on the block.
22. No shooting at parties.
23. Concerts and parties are neutral territories; no shooting!
24. Know the Code; it’s for everyone.
25. Be a real ruff neck. Be down with the code of the Thug Life.
26.

A child with autism can become like a newborn individual with early intervention and education!
What is Autism?
If your child performs behaviors different from the behaviors of children of his/her age, you might worry. If you think these behaviors are signs of autism, you might wish to learn what autism is and how it will affect your family.
Autism is a congenital pervasive developmental disability whose signs appear during the first three years of life. Autism is assumed to occur as a result of some problems in the structure and/or functioning of the nervous system and the brain.
It’s Not Your Fault!
What causes autism? Today the best answer to this question would be “The causes of autism are still unclear”.
It is suspected that autism has a hereditary component. There are numerous ongoing research projects in this direction. However, no specific autism gene has been identified, yet. Autism might also be triggered by some environmental factors.
Autism can be found in any society, race, and family. Consequently, autism is not related to any of these characteristics. Autism affects individuals irrespective of child rearing practices and socio-economic status.
You Are Not Alone!
Today autism is the most common neurological disorder and affects approximately one in every 150 children. Boys are four times as likely as girls to have some form of the disorder.
Many children diagnosed with autism have various problems associated with learning and mental functioning.
The Symptoms of Autism
All individuals with autism share three main areas of difficulty. These areas and the symptoms that define them are listed below:
Social Interaction Deficits
Self Stimulatory Behaviors
Autism Diagnosis and Treatment
A child doesn’t necessarily show all the symptoms listed above to be diagnosed with autism. Only a child psychiatrist or a child neurologist can make a diagnosis in Turkey. Moreover, some children might not show any deficits in a certain area. These conditions are diagnosed as ‘other’ types of pervasive developmental disorders.
Every child with autism or pervasive development disorder presents a variety of features. Whether diagnosed with autism or not, it shouldn’t be forgotten that every individual has a unique personality.
Physical appearance of children with autism is no different than other children, but their behaviors are different. Therefore, there are no medical tests or lab results to diagnose autism. Specialists diagnose autism by observing a child's behaviors, administering developmental tests and interviewing the parents about the child’s development. Autism can be diagnosed after 12 months of age. Early identification is very important for the initiation of education as early as possible.
Best Treatment is Education!
The results of many research studies show that the best treatment for autism is education. All other treatments are used to support education. Therefore, whether or not other treatments are used, special education is always a necessity.
Special education benefits a child by improving the child’s social interaction and communication skills, as well as and overcoming behavioral problems. Special education needs to be non-stop and highly intensive to be effective. While ‘intense treatment’ means providing education at least 20 hours a week, ‘non-stop treatment’ means providing education 12 months a year!
Early intervention, especially highly intense special education before the age of 5, is a crucial milestone in the development of the child. Approximately half of the children treated with early intensive special education progress substantially and transfer from special education to regular education successfully. Moreover, most of these children catch up with their peers in a few years.
What do I do if my child is diagnosed with autism?
Children with autism seem to be isolated from the environment and the people around them as if there is an invisible wall between them and the rest of the world. Breaking this wall might be a long and exhausting process, but it is definitely not impossible. Tohum Autism Foundation is a non-profit organization that has been established to help you through these hard times.
Call Tohum Autism Foundation if you suspect that your child has autism! We want to provide guidance and support to you in your journey. | <urn:uuid:9b3279fb-3ff6-4ee9-96a1-70a531d29bac> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://facesofturkey.eu/en/participants/tohum-otizm/article-2 | 2019-07-17T09:15:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525133.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717081450-20190717103450-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.95579 | 835 |

hello motorola management
why dont you take back the motorola xt720 as a goodwill gesture for all the bad reputation you have earned from the loyal customers and spoiled your name.
I suggest the following.
XT720 owners can return back this phone and buy a latest motorola phone such as bionic ot atrix at a very reduced price. This alone will save you from the bad experience that we all have with xt720.
many companies including apple have demonstrated these kind of gestures to win back customer confidence
Request you to treat indian customers properly.

There is no good reason not to help us......we are your customers......we paid for these phones, which will be obsolete because you refuse to support them. That is poor customer service. Support the product you sell or I will not ever purchase another......BTW... I am the owner of a small business, I over 100 employees who are using company phones.....that is over 100 motorola phones that will be replaced at some point in time, without support from you they will be replaced with you copetitor's phones. Do the right think and support your product. | <urn:uuid:c2bc1630-55cc-4f72-be2c-73f5967a57b5> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/MOTOROLA-MILESTONE-XT720-and/PETITION-TO-UNLOCK-BOOTLOADER-FOR-XT720/m-p/2676945 | 2019-07-17T09:33:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525133.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717081450-20190717103450-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.945349 | 252 |

Hello everybody, we all thought spring was here for good and the fresh green leaves of sorrel and shoots of organic garlic was a sight to behold but the pleasure was short lived as we had temperatures of – 11 degrees Celsius and freezing rain. Well can’t let that dampen our spirits, and it will soon be spring ( hopefully !!!! )
You know I love to use different leafy greens in my cooking, no greens no life !! that is my philosphy. sometimes when I am pressed for time I like to whip up quickly Scrambled Paneer ( Indian cottage cheese) / Tofu dish. It is quick, easy and extremely nutritious and off course not to forget a family favourite. I generally use of lots of cilantro and fenugreek leaves but this time I have used fresh moringa leaves which are not just healthy but a powerhouse of nutrition. The tree because of its different and varied uses and superfood properties is popularly known as Tree of life.
This vegetable is also called the tree of life because it has life sustaining properties, grows even in drought prone areas. These leaves are not difficult to separate from the stems, though it would take 15- 20 minutes to remove the twigs from the leaves. Growing up I remember my mother talking about these leaves. We ate the flowers, the pods (drumsticks) but not the leaves (which are also readily available). These leaves are available in Sri Lankan stores in North America.They look like Methi(fenugreek leaves ) but are not bitter and are lot more coarse in texture than spinach and methi.
So please do not feel overwhelmed by this vegetable. Get out of the comfort zone of the familiar and ordinary and try something new!!!
1 lb. of paneer or firm tofu
2 cups of moringa leaves cleaned and finely chopped ( may subsitute with chopped spinach, aragula,watercress)
1 medium sized red onion finely chopped
1 tomato finely chopped
1/2 tsp.turmeric powder or curry powder
1/2 tsp. red chilli powder or cayenne pepper
1 tbsp. of oil or ghee
salt to taste
1. Saute’ the onion and chopped moringa leaves in heated oil for few minutes till onion is translucent and the greens are glistening ( 4 – 5 minutes ).
2. Add the finely chopped tomato to it and wait few minutes for the tomato to be cooked .
3. Meanwhile crumble the paneer or tofu with your hand making sure no big pieces remain.
4. Add the turmeric and the red chilli powder and salt to the onion mix well and then add the crumbled panner . Mix well and cook on medium heat for 10 – 12 minutes till the flavours of different ingredients have blended and the paneer is cooked through ( does not need to browned ).
5. Enjoy !!! Serve with chapati or use as a filling for a wrap. | <urn:uuid:1be58471-cd04-4d14-80a9-ee97a2ee20a6> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://greenzgrains.wordpress.com/category/superfoods/ | 2019-07-17T08:56:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525133.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717081450-20190717103450-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.93759 | 611 |

Being creative doesn’t always come naturally, even for those whose job is to be creative. Including us. But when your living depends on being creative you don’t have the time to wait for inspiration to take hold. In this latest infographic we look at the creative process and ways to overcome those pesky roadblocks that always somehow get in the way.
CHANGE YOUR WORKSPACE, CHANGE YOUR HEADSPACE
Studies have shown that adding flowers or some greenery to your working environment can dramatically increase your ability to problem solve and generate ideas. By making a simple change to where you work can aid your ability to be creative by almost 15%.
At IYBI we’ve taken this tip on board and have added some plant life to the studio, and not only does it make for an aesthetically pleasing addition, but has opened up our creative thinking and has inspired some incredible conceptual work this year.
In this latest infographic IYBI look at the creative process and ways to overcome those pesky roadblocks that always somehow get in the way
Jumping into a new task feet-first can often lead to feeling overwhelmed which often means procrastination is not too far behind. Next time you have a new project on your hands why not try to break it down and brainstorm.
Brainstorming is a great way to focus your thoughts and ideas and can often lead to creative solutions you may not have thought of previously. And if you can brainstorm in collaboration with someone else – even better!
Our tip when brainstorming is to never break a tangent, even if you don’t think it’s good enough or is not going to lead anywhere worthwhile. Some of our best work and ideas has been born out of a good brainstorming session – including names we’ve worked on.
Like brainstorming, creating a mood board with a collection of images, words and examples of work you like can really help push through creative blocks. Marketing through social media sites like Pinterest is a really great way to collect various forms of inspiration to help formulate an idea, stimulate creativity, and flesh out what you want to achieve.
Especially with creative work, sometimes it’s easier to imagine what you want to achieve with images rather than words and a mood board is a great way to do so. Mood boards are also great to have placed within your work area to help with creativity when you’re struggling to break through. At IYBI all our conceptual work starts out as a mood board and is a vital tool in our work.
SOLVING THE WORLD’S PROBLEMS A BEER AT A TIME
There’s nothing quite like having a thirst quenching beverage at the end of the working day. But have you ever considered that having a beer could actually aid creativity? It makes sense though since many of us like to have a drink to loosen up in social situations, the same applies when approaching a creative task.
Everyone is inherently creative but sometimes we need a little help realising our own creative potential. Did you know some of the world’s greatest artworks have been produced by people who were under the influence? Take Willem de Kooning’s “Woman, I” for example which was painted in a less than sober state.
Remember though, too much of a good thing can also lead to some very bad ideas…
Sometimes just stepping away from the computer screen and changing things up can have a profound effect on pushing through creative boundaries. Why not get a little messy and fingerpaint as a way to unlock your creative awesomeness and approach your task in a new way!
Did you know that everyone at IYBI is actually an illustrator as well as a designer and/or developer? Not only is this one way IYBI stands apart from competitors, but by being able to start many of our projects as an illustration produces infinitely more creative results.
No, we’re not asking you if you’re feeling sad, although some of history’s most creative artists did produce works as a cathartic way to express sadness and turmoil, but we just wanted to let you know that the colour blue is another key to unlocking creative blocks.
Associated with feelings of openness and tranquility, and reminiscent of the ocean and sky, blue is a colour that can inspire creativity. Why not try adding something blue to your working environment to evoke some creativity. It’s also a great colour to use in your business.
WORK AT A CAFE
Here’s another tip from us to help get creative: leave the office. Yep, pick up your things and head to the nearest cafe. Not only for the promise of a caffeine fix but it’s been shown that the background sounds of a cafe is the perfect amount of noise to produce creativity: not completely silent and not so loud it’s distracting.
If going to a cafe is not practical for you, companies have started producing apps that replicate the sounds of general cafe chatter so you can bring the cafe to your own workspace. Ours is a soy latte by the way.
MAKE TIME TO BE CREATIVE
Just like you make time to do your washing, calculate your finances or more importantly squeeze in lunch, scheduling time to be creative is a great way to focus the mind on the task at hand. Allowing yourself the time to experiment freely can really help get past your perceived limitations as long as you don’t pressure yourself to produce something. Just enjoy the experience, and you never know what will come out of it.
Getting into the habit of ‘being creative’ can only be a good thing, as they say – practice makes perfect. Or in this case practice makes creative. Here in the studio, we enjoy taking some time out to illustrate and create. It allows us to experiment and try out new things. Work doesn’t always have to feel like work you know!
GET SOME ZZZZZ…
If you’re in a creative rut – take a nap! Sleeping, particularly REM sleep, which is the sleep you’re in when you dream, has been shown to help inspire ideas and solutions. That’s why so many creative people keep a notebook by their bed to write down thoughts that come to them when they’re asleep.
Likewise, sleeping on an idea that you’re not happy with or are struggling to make progress can sometimes benefit with a snooze. Looking at something with fresh eyes the next day can throw open new possibilities and ideas which can help rejuvenate creative flow.

As I chime in here I actually shudder at the necessity of such writing and smirk at the lack of interest it will garner pressing against all the other noise related to the fodder of this election year. My heart though is very burdened for the sake of the Glory of the Name of Jesus Christ our God and so I write, for those small few who will read and engage the scripture on this matter so that their joy would be full, their minds at ease and their affection for the saints will be pure.
Looking at any election is like peering into the ocular tube for Anton van Leeuwenhoek at his first peek at a eukaryote. He didn’t know what he was going to see nor did he understand what he saw as he gazed. This year’s election possibilities are foreign in history, foreign in my life-time and foreign for the Church. So what does the church need to know about voting, candidates, values, morals, etc. “How would Jesus Vote?” is usually on the tip of everyone’s tongue, while not in that same query, the outcome of investigation is always the same, “what should I do as a believer this election year?”
To date, actually just this week, I have read over 30 articles, responses, rebukes, theological positions, white papers, red letters, vlogs, blogs, comments, posts and even napkin scribbles related to how a Christian SHOULD view and RESPOND to the question at hand concerning this electoral challenge. Quite honestly I am disgusted with it all. I am tired of the undue burden placed by well-meaning people on the body of Christ. I am tired of pulpits being hijacked by lesser mundane inanity in place of sublime glory. I am labored over the souls of so many sheep who are stepping over each other in an attempt to be “right” in the eyes of God while murdering their fellow man. (1 John should come to mind here) I am overwhelmed as a pastor of the local church when I have to continually be on guard that such ready division could implode at any moment and usher a barrage of discipline and unnecessary harm. I am weary of so-called defenders of truth who in their polemics violate the basics of the faith through harassment, evil speech and hatred. As you can see I am tired of things as they are and the only reason is that it is dividing the body of Christ over matters to which the Scripture DOES NOT SPEAK.
Let the exegete stand up and use the context of divine utterance in truth instead of conveying a converted and untruthful boast while calling it God’s. Speak the truth in love for the sake of the glory of Heaven wherein lies no victory in government, national, creed or liberty. Be true to the truth of the Word of God lest God be a liar; let Christians repent of such low hearted and contrived silliness as their flesh shakes with desire to burst their opinions against the decrees of the living God. In summary, let the word of God be true and let those who handle it not twist it lest they face the judgment. God needs no help and God’s word speaks not the matter of national interests for any nation, race or ethnos. Get that and be quiet otherwise.
Therefore, for the sake of the redeemed of the Lord and our unity which is not just commanded of us but GIVEN to us through the SPIRIT, let’s look at Romans Chapter 14 and 15 and what it says about matters of conscience and let’s quit listening to each others commentary, but rather hear the exposition of God’s word so that our souls will be one.
For the sake of argument, let’s say ALL of us are right in our own eyes. That’s right, every contrary statement is true and in an absurd reality, it was permited for insanity to reign righteously. (Not going to happen but I am not here to argue your point of view as many would think.)
As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. (Romans 14:1 ESV)
Look at that! I can stop now. Do not quarrel over opinions. “It’s not my opinion!” some would say… yes it is. God’s word does not anywhere give us directives or moral commands on voting, elections, policies, social matters and the like. But the contrary, we must discern individually on these matters that are of no consequence. And yes, let the Lord send America to destruction, it’s destined to be there one day anyway, why not now? Maybe then Christians will share the faith instead of nationalism. So in Romans 14:1, if “THEY” are wrong, we are to just be welcoming. If one thinks they should vote for Snoopy, then let them. If one is convinced they should “nevertrump” so be it. If someone else is writing their own names in; great! Quarreling is SIN SIN SIN SIN SIN and is WICKED! So…. let’s look at 15:1
We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. (Romans 15:1-2 ESV)
No only are we to welcome others and their different opinions, we are to BEAR with them and build them up. This is not in correction to our way of thinking. Disagree?
The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves. (Romans 14:22 ESV)
So now what? This text speaks of what one may eat or drink, wear, think, decide on matters of choice. Regulate their entertainment. We know what sin is and we know what liberty is and we are NOT free to sin but are free to be at peace with God through Jesus Christ in our convictions on matters like these. For example, I think it is a very poor expression for people to dialog and put their personal information on social networks, so I don’t do it. Often times I engage in encouraging others to be careful, but I cannot say, “God prohibits the use of Facebook!” It just isn’t so. Just like I cannot say, Godly people vote for CANDIDATE X or would never vote for CANDIDATE Y. We are NOT supposed to gain others to our opinion at the cost of intimacy and unity.
Keep in mind right now that I am not speaking TO or ABOUT anyone. So if any of you reading this desire to converse, please do so. If you desire to rebuke, please do so. But be biblical about it, because I will follow the scriptures. I will talk with you about sin and I will call your pastor if it doesn’t resolve. So, OPEN RESPONSES to me should be private if they are directly respondent to this article.
Remember, there are always weak and strong arguments that come from weak and strong positions. There are differences of opinions but we are to bear with each and go along without confusion and argument. Dogma at the cost of love is worthless dogma when it isn’t dogma. Look at the next few verses in 14.
One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. (Romans 14:2-3 ESV)
Wow, we are not to be concerned with converting out brothers to carnivores or to the GOP or the SBC or to the WWJD! We are not only supposed to bear with others in affection, but we are to serve them out of affection and never hold with contempt those who seem to oppose our views. Why? Because we are accountable to the Lord Jesus Christ on these matters and will answer for them one day. We best be sure we are right while we are also not violating the commands that are clear; you know, like loving your brother, bearing with his weakness, not being divisive, not quarreling, not repaying evil, not breaking the unity of the faith… and stuff like that.
Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. (Romans 14:4 ESV)
Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” So then each of us will give an account of himself to God. (Romans 14:10-12 ESV)
We best be willing to stand before God and say, “I am right and spoke on your behalf… ” with these matters, because we will be called to account on how we speak, act and interact, especially with the use of God’s word. (James 3:1) So, let’s be sure in our minds that what we desire to say and hold to is RIGHT before the Lord. Otherwise, we could be in for a grand surprise. Either way, it is our choice on the matter, not our job to change the minds of others. Remember we are talking about moral peripherals, not absolutes.. voting, not worship. If I chose to vote one way, my wife another and my daughter to abstain, we are ALL RIGHT before the Lord if we are prayerfully acting in response to the Lord and His bearing upon our consciences. In doing so, we live AS THE LORD’S and we live TO the LORD and if we die we die TO the LORD. The ultimate purpose in all our actions is ascribe glory to the one for whom it is due, Jesus Christ. See verses 5-9 below. These temporal things have NOTHING to do with the Kingdom of Christ. After all, man casts the lots but the Lord decides the vote. (Proverbs 16:33)
One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. (Romans 14:5-9 ESV)
When we make division over these types of things we cause sin in the lives of each other. Resentment, doubt, anger, fear, frustration and many other grievances. This cannot be, it is not our lot. We should be willing to lose our rights and lives for the sake of each other, not remove each other from our lives for the sake of the temporal. (v13) The things that are clean are not forbidden. Is voting clean? Is patriotism clean? Is debating these things clean? If it is for you, then good. If it isn’t then good. (v14) We are not to exercise our conciseness and our liberties to the detriment of our affection. (v15) We are not to be KNOWN for our politics but rather the law of love in Christ Jesus Alone! Let us care more for our brother than our rights and liberties. Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what he eats. (Romans 14:20 ESV)
Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean. For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. (Romans 14:13-19 ESV)
See how this portion of text closes? Serving Christ, not the nation is our priority. All the lands of this world are temporal and ONLY those things which are ETERNAL remain and our siblings in Christ and His glory are eternal. We may be political “enemies” but we are one in Christ Jesus. (Sarcasm intended). Our convictions are personal, private and for dialog only when called upon. When it comes to political issues I rarely, if every, give my thoughts. But when privately asked I labor over the word of God and my prayers and express my fear in sharing them and warn the hearer to not adopt my position but rather pray and seek the Lord and whatever they decide will be pleasing to Him. Our desires should be to edify each other (v19) and to be at peace at all times and to violate our conscience, we sin; so to violate another’s, we cause them to sin. But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin. (Romans 14:23 ESV)
What I Don’t Care About
I don’t care who you vote for and why or why not you vote. God doesn’t either except that you listen to Him and His word. Neither candidate of any party is right, just look at their policies. Every candidate is right on something. There is no such thing as a lesser evil or a greater good; that’s a very childish and ignorant petition. The conscience of a man is ignored with much gravity, God speaks through His spirit (through His word) to our consciences and we best not ignore Him.
What I Do Care About
I do care about the joy of the saints, the glory of God, the name of Jesus Christ, the mission of the church (which is not to change America, but to see it die for Christ!). I do care about meanness in the name of Jesus. I do care about the love of God that is given to us so that we can love each other. I do care about the unity of the faith and the intimacy of the body. I do care about the testimony of the local church. And so should you.
Care beloved. Love as Christ has called us to love. Turn off the tele, stop the likes and frowns, tweet no more to the harm of each other. Let the world do what the world does and pray the Lord gives each of us wisdom and the next time someone comes up to sway you to their idol, just smile and thank them, encourage them, and be at peace.
Be in CHRIST beloved, trash the rest.
PS. Did you catch the matter of discipline. Just to emphasize, the body of Christ should bring any who cause division in this manner under public discipline according to the word of God. That is clear… even if they are a national treasure, small country pastor, pew sitter or praise recording artist. Think a minute on that. It’s what’s at stake.
PSS. And yes, there are many opportunities for debate here, the spirit of the matter is that we must not continue in this division and we must stop allowing others to twist the use of God’s word to validate their personal convictions. Straw men do not work, they just sit and burn… that’s the point. | <urn:uuid:6eac51ce-e9a2-4d04-a14c-0c2ad8a80bb9> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://jamestippins.com/tag/unity/ | 2019-07-17T09:36:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525133.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717081450-20190717103450-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.953359 | 3,474 |

You’ve heard your parents, teachers, and driver-ed instructors lecture you on the dangers of distracted driving.
After a while, they sound like the adults on a Charlie Brown video – “Wah-wah, wah-wah….”
Put all of that aside. Here’s a new reason for you to look out for yourself, regardless of what others tell you.
The nonprofit Governor’s Highway Safety Association issued a new report last week showing that teens make up the largest segment of drivers who were distracted during a fatal crash.
More to the point, 57% of those killed in crashes were the teen drivers themselves.
Check out the full report, which was funded through a grant from another insurance company.

A jury finds a police officer defendant guilty and later the judge talks to the lawyers and remarks how some notable people lack moral stamina. The judge brings up the case of Benedict Arnold as an instance of this. Arnold started out as a hero of the Continental Army at the Battle of Fort Ticonderoga before becoming a turncoat and defecting to the British during the American Revolutionary War.

Accessing cancer treatment in post-conflict Gaza
1 November 2014 - Nisreen and her 13-year-old twin sons evacuated their house in Abasan, Gaza, during the recent 50-day conflict with Israel – and returned to rubble. “We found our house had been bombed and bulldozed. We couldn’t even see where it used to be. My sons were so shocked, so sad,” says Nisreen. “We lost everything.”
She and her sons now live with her mother in a one-room building, where a sheet of corrugated iron covers a large hole in damaged wall.
But that’s not what worries Nisreen most. What worries Nisreen is the cancer diagnosed in her spine in March, a likely metastasis of the breast cancer she fought in 2008. Nisreen needs treatment that is unavailable in Gaza, but she doesn’t know when – or if – she will be granted access to travel to Jerusalem for radiotherapy that could save her life.
Each month more than 1500 Gaza patients travel to the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Israel, or Egypt to receive specialized medical treatment in oncology, ophthalmology, heart surgery, and other tertiary services not available in Gaza. Of those who apply for travel permits, nine in ten are approved, some delayed and some denied altogether. But during the recent conflict, the percentage of successful applications dropped significantly, and has still not returned to pre-conflict levels.
Earlier this year, her doctor referred her for an isotope scan in the West Bank, and initially she was refused a permit to travel. But the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights advocated for her, and she was eventually granted permission.
Now her doctor in Gaza says she urgently needs radiotherapy. At the moment she is waiting to see if she will be approved for financial coverage from the Ministry of Health, which she needs before she can even apply for her travel permit.
“I’m worried about if I will get financial coverage, and if I will get the permit,” Nisreen says. “And I’m worried about my cancer.”
While she waits, her condition deteriorates. “I take tramadol [pain relief], but it’s not helping anymore,” she says. “It’s hard to sleep. It hurts to lie on my back; it hurts to lie on my side.”
Nisreen was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008, when she was in her early 30s. She had a mastectomy in Gaza, but her chemotherapy appointments were often delayed due to the drugs being out of stock. In late 2008 she was referred to Egypt for follow-up radiotherapy, which is not available in Gaza. However, she was initially sent to a triage medical center near the border where radiotherapy was not available, and had to convince a doctor to refer her to Cairo where she stayed for six weeks, eventually receiving 20 sessions of radiotherapy.
Now Nisreen is sick again she is also fearful her sons face an insecure future. “After the conflict, there’s a lot less charity to go around because there are now so many orphans,” she says.
WHO advocates for patients’ unrestricted access to medical care, and monitors delays and denials of patients’ permits to travel, as well as the impact on their health. WHO also provides support to the operations of the Referral Abroad Department. Beyond this, WHO is working to improve the health system in Gaza, so more patients have unimpeded access to life-saving treatments. | <urn:uuid:6af5e28d-e48f-43de-ab2b-17069699c814> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://unispal.un.org/DPA/DPR/unispal.nsf/eed216406b50bf6485256ce10072f637/dc83161bd5dd22fc85257d8500524de0?OpenDocument | 2019-07-17T08:43:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525133.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717081450-20190717103450-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.979111 | 760 |
Via Delta Points, Delta has introduced 5000 mile one-way awards between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Before you get too excited, this doesn’t really provide superior value for your points, here’s what flights cost in cash:
Delta has been running economy award discounts of 10,000 miles each way. Those require 21 day advance purchase and are restricted to specific routes and specific dates.
Most Delta saver awards, of course, now require 21 day advance purchase (although not all do).
So the award discount appears to have a 21 day advance purchase unsurprisingly.
At least this cheap, short haul route doesn’t have 21 day advance to be able to book a 12,500 mile ‘level 1’ saver award. Although actually choosing to redeem 12,500 miles for a $78 or even $173 ticket seems silly to me.
When Delta declares the death of the 25,000 mile domestic coach award what I think they mean is this: tickets for flights that aren’t very valuable at all should cost fewer miles ($72 flights for 5000 miles that are capacity controlled and don’t earn miles) and tickets for flights that are more expensive should start out at a higher mileage cost.
While this is better than spending 12,500 miles for a $72 ticket (which you shouldn’t do anyway) it ultimately would imply the end of accruing outsized value with your points when redeeming for travel on Delta. Right now you can still occasionally get good value for a last minute ticket on an expensive route when redeeming points. That’s the traditional advice that miles are useful held back for emergencies. When you spend 25,000 miles for an $800 – $1200 domestic ticket you’ve done well.
In the world of SkyMiles of the future, it appears to be unlikely. Those pricey tickets will also be pricey in miles. And the not quite fair trade is that cheap tickets where it wasn’t worth spending miles anyway will cost fewer miles (and still not be worth spending miles).
In contrast, British Airways — even post-devaluation — offers 4500 mile one-way awards based on distance which means if saver award space is available you can book a ticket for that cost even when the price of a paid ticket is high. So I’ve had great luck redeeming British Airways points for the US Airways shuttle, New York LaGuardia – Washington – National, at 9000 miles roundtrip for a $600+ ticket and Washington National – Chicago O’Hare for instance when those were selling at over $600 roundtrip. That’s value.
Tying mileage cost to ticket price make follow a certain logic for Delta, but it means the end of outsized value — and that means that miles are no longer very valuable compared to other currencies. And that means there’s no real reason to accumulate them over another currency. | <urn:uuid:fafde1a9-c6be-44b8-98ba-629a6da2984f> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://viewfromthewing.boardingarea.com/2015/05/16/delta-introduces-5000-mile-one-way-awards-and-that-should-scare-you/ | 2019-07-17T09:10:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525133.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717081450-20190717103450-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.934927 | 606 |
Trinity Sunday, a day senior pastors hand off to junior clergy, a day when children are offered inexplicable and unscientific explanations of a mystery, a day when we sometimes want to detach our intellects from our faith. Over the years, however, I have come to appreciate the idea of the trinity.
The concept of a trinity developed aa a way to explain the nature of the Jesus of history and the Christ of theology. The council of Nicaea in 325 created the confession of faith that we use now as a way of settling the various arguments. Before and after, theologians continued to look into both Hebrew and Christian scripture to explain their stances.
What are we to do with this? If we resist thinking of theTrinity as a thing and more as a focus for consideration, I think it becomes a useful formula for us. I am going to suggest a way to think about the Trinity and invite you to test your own thoughts too.
Basically, I tend to think of “god” as the mystery that both inhabits every atom of the earth and surrounds the earth with blessing. I think of Jesus as the human expression of the divine. In other words, as Marcus Borg said, “If God filled a human, this is how they would be.” The Spirit is the force that has ultimate freedom to awe, to invite, to inspire, to connect the deep presence of the divine of all that is and to help us to experience that oneness in our own lives.
So, to find words or ideas to express this and to test our theological positions, I propose this exercise: Trinity as…
a noun: Lover, Beloved, Love
a verb: recreate, relate, communicate
an adjective: mysterious, compassionate, exciting
a colour: blue, green, silver
These are my reactions to this question, now. To explain them tells me how I am experiencing the Holy right now, what has the greatest focus for me right now. Sallie McFague, the eco-theologian, in her book A New Climate for Theology, says,
As I have come to realize that we all live and move and have our being in God, the names of each person, species, creature, and element are superimposed over God’s name. God is reality; God is the source of reality of each of us. Panentheism — seeing the world as in God — puts God’s “name” first, but each of our names are included and preserved in their distinctiveness within the divine reality.
The Trinity then is a synthesis of who and where we meet the divine, in the world, in our minds and imaginations, in other people, and in the experiences that are beyond speech or definition.
And finally, from Sallie McFague again:
We meet God in and through the world, if we are ever to meet God. God is not out there or back there or yet to be, but hidden in the most ordinary things of our ordinary lives. If we cannot find the transcendent in the world, in its beauty and its suffering, then for us bodily, earthy creatures it is probably not to be found at all.
So what does that mean from the passage from Matthew:
All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
What kind of disciples are we to make? Somewhat prosaically we have thought it meant making more Christians, but what if the intention has a wider focus? What if we are called to invite others and participate with others in seeing the holiness that surrounds and permeates our lives? What if we are to be earth disciples, shielding God’s garden from further harm and healing what has already been done? What if we are to be the protectors of all the vulnerable, acting out Jesus’ radical inclusivity of love and concern for all people? What if we are called to abandon our obsessive self concern and open ourselves to living in the unprotected, wild whirlwind of the Spirit? Maybe we are not called to believe in the Trinity but act in the Trinity, to display in our lives who to love, how to see ourselves and everyone else as beloved, to free ourselves from the ramshackle debris of the past and open ourselves to a new world that has peace and justice as its political platform, that values human life above all forms of violence, that takes seriously God’s desire for us all to become christ-like without necessarily becoming christians.
What if this is the question the doctrine of the Trinity presents to us? | <urn:uuid:f3e72ffe-4c74-4fc4-bd06-1be9e19a3202> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://voicesinthetrees.me/2017/06/10/trinity-where-we-meet-the-divine/ | 2019-07-17T09:11:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525133.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717081450-20190717103450-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.96083 | 1,000 |

There are endless brilliant things about Every Brilliant Thing. The play sees writer Duncan Macmillan reunited with Paines Plough following their critically acclaimed collaboration on Lungs. That play features alongside Every Brilliant Thing and two others as the company launches its brand new Roundabout Auditorium here in Edinburgh.
The Roundabout Auditorium needs no special skills to assemble and the idea is that anyone can help put it up with little more than an Allen key and a little elbow grease. The same could be said of the play, but instead of Allen keys, Every Brilliant Thing uses numbered cards and audience interaction to build a moving story about love and depression through the eyes of a child.
As we are settling down in our pink and yellow seats, we are handed a numbered card, some people more than one. On them, a brilliant thing. Jonny Donahoe is going to tell us a story and he wants us to help him. A story about a boy whose mum has done something stupid with contraceptive pills and wound up in hospital. She finds it hard to be happy. So he starts to make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world and sends it to her, hiding it under her pillow when she’s not looking.
The numbered cards work as a sort of punctuation, book-marking some moments and providing a punchline to others. But their most important function is that they let us join in. They make our presence in the auditorium, here, now, completely necessary to the story being told. Making the list becomes not just a personal pursuit, but something we all help to create. And soon the list starts to take on a life of its own.
For some, theatre in the round is analogous with networks of power and the form often has an inherently confrontational character. But director George Perrin’s production maximises the form’s potential for connection with the audience both as individuals and collectives. Rarely will you encounter a more receptive response than the one Donahoe manages to create in the theatre. It is an atmosphere of unbridled warmth and enthusiasm which will leave you in a near-constant state of grinning.
Given that this is a play about depression, Macmillan wears his theme lightly. But he never ignores the complexities of suicide and the legacy it leaves behind. Like the contents of the list, it is genuinely wonderful and life affirming play. It is impossible not to love.
Every Brilliant Thing is at Summerhall @ Roundabout (Venue 26)until 23 August.

Manner Coffee was a recommendation from Anna, my barista at Monday’s Coffee Spot, Sumerian Coffee. Handily placed just a few streets away from Sumerian Coffee on the quiet Nanyang Road, I was very grateful for the tip since I’m not sure I’d have found it by myself, particularly since it doesn’t show up on any on-line maps that I know of and has no social media presence.
I’m not even sure I’d have noticed it if I was just walking past since Manner Coffee is literally a hole-in-the-wall operation (for the pedants out there, technically it’s a window-in-the-wall operation). However, the crowd of people standing outside, waiting to order their coffee, might have drawn my attention.
And what coffee! Despite its size, Manner offers espresso (house-blend) & pour-over (various single-origins) from a selection of beans, all roasted in-house. It’s takeaway cups only though, so don’t forget to bring your own.
You can read more of my thoughts after the gallery.
There’s not a lot to Manner Coffee. It’s literally a window at which you order your coffee, before waiting on the pavement for your order to be shouted out, at which point you’ll find your coffee waiting on the shelf beneath the window. Alternatively, you can perch on the bench that sits by the kerb on the opposite side of the wide pavement. Strangely, Manner Coffee, and the bench in particular, instantly reminded me of New York’s Gimme! Coffee, although at Gimme! Coffee you at least go inside to order.
Given its size, you could forgive Manner Coffee for just serving espresso, but there’s so much more to it than that, with a full pour-over menu offering a selection of five single-origins. There are also various over-ice options, plus a single-origin Ethiopian cold-brew on offer. Looking in through the window, I could see at least four people beavering away. However, I couldn’t see past the La Marzocco espresso machine to work out what the pour-over set-up was and, with my non-existent Chinese, asking was out of the question.
Given its set-up, Manner Coffee only offers takeaway cups, although there’s a generous 5 Yuan discount for anyone bringing their own cup. Fortunately, I take my Kaffeeform cup with me everywhere I go, even all the way to Shanghai (it’s now survived for five full months living in my rucksack), so I ordered a shot of the house-blend espresso. This was surprisingly long, the coffee coming across as quite sharp and fruity. I enjoyed sitting on the bench while I slowly sipped it.
A word about prices: my espresso was a snip at 10 Yuan (a shade over £1) while the rest of Manner’s pricing was similarly reasonable. It’s the only place I visited in Shanghai where I paid under London prices. Most of the rest of the shops were either on a par with London or heading towards Hong Kong pricing, particularly when it came to pour-over and retail bags of coffee.
Manner roasts all its own coffee and you can buy any of the beans, including the house blend. In all, there were seven single-origins on offer, including a washed and a natural Yirgacheffe, as well as Kenyan Guatemalan, Colombian and Sumatran beans. The prices varied from around £4 to £8 for a 250g bag. However, what caught my eye was the Yunnan, the same single-origin Chinese coffee I’d had at Sumerian Coffee. Whereas the two bags I’d bought there had set me back just under £8 each, Manner was half the price, so I made another impulse purchase.
March 2019: you can see what I made of the second branch of Manner Coffee, which opened just along the road on Fengxian Road. You can also what I made of BLUEKING Coffee, which is a few doors along from Manner Coffee on Nanyang Road.

Adrian MikhalchishinSample pages (pdf)
This book is volume 7 of a series of eight, FIDE approved, endgame books. FIDE Senior Trainer Adrian Mikhalchishin, FIDE Senior Trainer Efstratios Grivas and IGM Csaba Balogh combine their experience as trainers and as practical players to create something very special.
This book discusses typical rook endgame positions - which means positions that frequently appear in practical play. Knowledge of such positions and the methods of handling them is a key element of correct play in rook endgames.
The authors aim for very understandable explanations of every endgame position in each book.
* 1st book: Queen and pawn endgames.
* 2-3: Minor piece endgames (bishop and knight endgames).
* 4-5: These will feature the fight between different material constellations.
* 6-8: These books are going to focus on the most common endgames,
which are of course rook endings.
The main concept of each book is to provide theoretical knowledge which can be used in practical games. It means the focus of the books will be on positions which are the most likely to occur - and the practical playing of them.
Thats why you will firstly meet the theoretical part, and secondly the practical examples of how games actually continued in a particular endgame.
Published 2018, softback, 333 pages.Please note the book contains a small mistake in the printing: The title on the cover is "Mastering Typical Rook Endgames", but on the title page of the book, it is written as "Mastering Practical Rook Endgames", while in the header of the even numbered pages it is shown as "Mastering Basic Rook Endgames"
Because of this aesthetic mistake, the price is reduced from from the usual £21.99 to £18.99. | <urn:uuid:83ff8a77-8ad4-490b-81ef-41c37f43a563> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.chessdirect.co.uk/acatalog/Mastering-Typical-Rook-Endgames-c9307.html | 2019-07-17T09:13:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525133.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717081450-20190717103450-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.928341 | 395 |
There was once a time when a small group of my friends never went to a bar without a rubber chicken in tow. In an attempt to amuse ourselves and confuse strangers, we would insist on taking pictures of our friends, bartenders, and wait staff posing with the chickens (Ralphonso and Giselle were their names, and a more distinguished pair of chickens you can't even imagine). As the night went on, onlookers would invariably ask to also have their pictures taken with the plastic poultry. Those chickens were great ice-breakers, allowing us to easily identify other people who also had a sense of humor that was a little, well... you know.
Eventually we gave Giselle eyes and stuffed her with sand so that she could pose for her photo ops better. That might have killed her in the long term, as I recently found that her delicate plucked rubber skin had dried out, becoming brittle and cracked. I realized that it was time for her to move on to a better place. But she still had one last mission to amuse/befuddle.
At an somber, intimate gathering this afternoon, we interred Giselle. We said our good-byes, poured out a beer in her honor, and had some BBQ and cheesy potatoes.
But I take heart knowing that someday, someone will go to plant a tree or till the soil, and they will find the remnants of a once-proud fowl, along with a time-capsule containing photos of strangers in bars tongue-kissing a rubber chicken. And they will be confused. | <urn:uuid:5516683f-c082-437d-bb00-b6461e27407e> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.danstout.com/journal/2011/5/16/today-i-dug-a-grave-for-a-rubber-chicken.html | 2019-07-17T09:25:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525133.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717081450-20190717103450-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.981023 | 322 |

Detroit — It was the flag pole out beyond the visitors’ bullpen in left-center field that sparked one of Curtis Granderson’s first memories of Comerica Park.
“This is where I got the chance to start my career,” he said from the Miami Marlins clubhouse before Tuesday's game. “Signing my contract, actually, I remember the first time coming on the field and getting asked, ‘Hey, do you think you can play center field here?’
“This was before they moved the fences in and my thought process was, ‘No chance.’ Look at where that flag pole is. How is that going to happen?”
Two years later, in 2004, Granderson made it happen, making his big-league debut against the Twins, patrolling that spacious center field.
“Just amazing,” he said. “I never thought it would happen, and I got a chance to play four full seasons here (and parts of two others). Awesome.”
That first game, Granderson remembered vividly, he threw out the Twins’ Jacque Jones at third base.
“He was trying to go first to third,” Granderson said. “I was like, ‘Here we go.’ Right away they tested me and I was able to make a good throw. I didn’t get a hit that game, but I did get an assist.”
Fifteen years and six teams later, Granderson, 38, is still at it, mentoring and providing leadership to a young, rebuilding team in Miami. Make no mistake, though, his home is still Chicago, but a big piece of his heart remains in Detroit.
“A lot of people assume that because I played in New York (four years with the Yankees, four with the Mets) that automatically trumps every other place because of the size of that market. And that is a special place, too.
“But your first, there’s nothing that can take that away. I got a chance to go to my first World Series here. I went to my first All-Star Game here, my first World Baseball Classic here. I’ve had a lot of perks here and I enjoyed my time here so much.”
Granderson has played in two World Series and was a member of the Dodgers team that lost to the Astros in 2017. But he remembers 2006 as a magical ride. He hit .312 in the division and championship series, with three homers and seven RBIs.
But like the rest of the Tigers that year, he went cold against the St. Louis Cardinals (2 for 21).
“The city was in a situation, it was before the economic crisis had hit the country, but people were being affected here and so many were turning to sports looking for enjoyment,” Granderson said. “And we were able to provide it. That was really cool.
“Everywhere we went, in Detroit or outside Detroit, we got a lot of respect. A lot of people talked about our team and were really excited about what was to come.”
He talked about the rivalry between Detroit and Cleveland at that time, too.
“There was so much talk about New York and Boston, about how you had to beat them and we hadn’t done anything against them,” he said. “But we had our rivalry in the AL Central with the Indians. And, too, the Pistons and Cavs were a big rivalry then.
“There was just so much going on over the course of a three-to-five year period in a two-hour radius between the two cities — it just made it so much fun.”
Those were the days, indeed.
Granderson comes into the series this week with 1,957 games under his belt — 8,077 plate appearances, 1,763 hits, 337 home runs, 915 RBIs and a slash-line of .251/.339/.469.

To merge, or not to merge. That is the question. Imagine a time in the not-so-distant future when you truly have just one window into your entire digital photo library. This means, no matter where you are, and no matter what sort of device you’re using, you’ll be able to easily access any photograph you’ve taken since the dawn of digital (admittedly, not that long ago, relative to geologic time).
Today, having a good cataloging or asset-management system and maintaining one master catalog for all of the photographs in your digital library is a solid step in that direction. And this article assumes that you’re already on that track. But what do you do when you go on location? Many of us already have libraries far larger than our laptop hard drives will hold comfortably. And even if we could carry our entire library on location on a portable hard drive, would you take the risk of that drive being stolen or lost?
When we shoot on location, we typically want to download and possibly edit and organize our photos every chance we get. Assuming that you maintain one large master catalog of your digital photographs (and I think most people do), and that you want to edit in the field while shooting, when using Adobe Lightroom you essentially have two options when you get back home: to merge, or not to merge.
The first option—to merge—is actually a bit trickier than the second, but once you get a feel for the ins and outs of how Lightroom handles catalog merging, you’ll become comfortable with it. And it’s worth learning how to do.
If you plan to create a temporary location catalog and then merge it with your master catalog when you get home, here’s how I would proceed. For the location part of the setup, all you need to have is a laptop with a copy of Lightroom installed on it and enough hard-drive space to accommodate the photo files you’ll be shooting. Next, create a folder for the photo files. Because Lightroom always first looks to a relative path when searching for your photo files, I find that it sometimes helps to put them in close proximity to the catalog. I recommend creating the folder for your photo files (I’ll name this shoot folder “Location Photo Library”) in the same parent folder as your Lightroom catalog folder. This could be in your Desktop folder, or in your Pictures folder, or wherever. The exact location really doesn’t matter—as long as they’re in the same parent folder. Then as you shoot, download your photos into that library folder on a daily basis, arranging them into subfolders named with the when, who, what and where objective metadata scheme that I outlined in my previous DPP articles (December 2009 and March/April 2010). If you’ll be using Lightroom’s default installation location for the catalog on the laptop, that scheme will look something like Figure 1.
“Library” Or “Catalog”?
Throughout this article I use the terms library and catalog, but not interchangeably. When I talk about your library, I’m talking about your photographs—meaning, the actual digital photo files. When I use the word catalog, I’m talking about the database that you use to manage those photos, and with which you view and organize them. Lightroom calls this database the catalog. Due to the fact that the Lightroom user interface has a Library module, there’s much confusion surrounding this distinction. Your catalog is not your library! | <urn:uuid:472d162b-9707-49a3-bdf9-ba87f5da7f8f> | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | https://www.digitalphotopro.com/technique/photography-workflow/master-your-image-library/ | 2019-07-17T08:36:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195525133.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20190717081450-20190717103450-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.926473 | 748 |

The Work of Life
by Angel Hogan
At dinner recently, a friend opened her fortune cookie to find the following Muhammad Ali quote: “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.”
We sat silent, considering. How has service impacted our lives?
During my childhood, my mom was a nurse at Saint Agnes Hospital in South Philly, first in the ER and later at the renowned burn unit. I loved visiting her workplace: an exciting world with its own language, lightning pace and dress code where my mom and others literally saved lives.
When the chance came to volunteer, I embraced it. Since my mom worked full time with a long commute, my time at the hospital was also a practical decision. At 13, I was not ready to be home alone for 10-hour stretches; volunteering offered a safe place to spend summer. Unlike other young volunteers who came in sporadically, I “worked” 8 to 5 daily. Most teens might have thought this was torture, but the days that my enthusiasm waned were few. I flourished with my new responsibility. I was a part of the team, had something to contribute and gave not because I had to but because I wanted to.
Volunteering opened an unknown door in my heart. I began to recognize the real gift of service is that it deepens our understanding of what it is to be human: wondrous, flawed, miraculous and vulnerable. Service has since been ever-present in my life, not just for what I am able to offer, but for what it gives back to me.
One of my most recent experiences found me with dozens of others in bright yellow volunteer shirts on the art museum steps. On a hot morning during the July Democratic National Convention, we awaited the arrival of thousands of Philly kids hoping to make history.
Mighty Writers, a Philadelphia nonprofit that teaches writing skills to young people in our city, organized an awe-inspiring event in an attempt to break the world record for the most people writing in the same place at the same time. Nearly 3,000 youth came out and sat in the blazing sun to pen what they would do if elected president. The spirit, community and magnificent collective effort of our youngest writers was an incredible sight to witness. What a gift.
Though much of my time is occupied by a job with a traditional wage, the words of Jonathan Safran Foer, on a slip of paper above my computer, remind me of the importance of giving, even when there is no tangible “pay” in sight: “Being attentive to the needs of others may not be the point of life, but it is the work of life. It can be messy, and painful and almost impossibly difficult. But it is not something we give. It is what we get in exchange for having to die.”
I am no longer the tireless teen taking her zealous first steps toward service. Long hours and responsibilities make it difficult to find time to volunteer as an adult, even for people who are deeply passionate about a cause. Yet, when those slivers of time open up, using them to give to others is a mighty and beautiful thing.

Review and road test of the Ford Tourneo Custom
Ford's improved Tourneo Custom offers acres of space in a cost effective package. If you need something bigger than a Galaxy, this could be just the ticket. Jonathan Crouch reports
Ten Second Review of the Ford Tourneo Custom
The improved Ford Tourneo Custom is a smart-looking, well-equipped and economical super-large People Carrier that can seat eight or nine. If you've progressed beyond the normal seven-seater MPV, this could be the perfect left-field choice. Now it offers the option of clever mild hybrid engine technology too.
Ford has a reputation for making some of the best people movers in the business. B-MAX, C-MAX, S-MAX and Galaxy all have their firm adherents but sometimes there's just no substitute for size. Sometimes, buyers need a size beyond what even a Galaxy full-size MPV can deliver. If you're doing some heavy hauling and need a vehicle to fit that particular bill, the latest Tourneo Custom with its smarter styling and more efficient EcoBlue engines could be the answer.
This contender offers generous space and reasonable comfort for up to nine people beneath an exterior that while not doing too much to disguise its commercial vehicle roots, at least now looks as if it's been designed rather than arrived at. The Tourneo Custom is designed to be cost-effective for business use or as a safe, luxurious way of carrying family, friends and all their stuff and you can even opt for an L2 long wheelbase version if you've never really got round that 'people or luggage' predicament.
Whichever Tourneo Custom you choose, if you pop the bonnet you'll be greeted by a 2.0 litre EcoBlue diesel engine, mated to a six speed manual transmission and driving the front wheels. So far, so simple. After this it gets a little more involved but nothing that'll require homework. There are three power levels to choose from - with 105, 130 or 185PS options. The 130 and 185PS variants can be had with the option of 48-volt mild hybrid technology. Engine refinement at idle still isn't class leading, but you'll never be kidding your passengers that they're in a Lexus anyway. There's the option of a six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, plus a unique-to-segment rear air suspension system that delivers a supple, controlled and level ride across a wide range of load conditions. There's also the option of a plug-in model hybrid based around 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol power.
The chassis has been meticulously tuned for British conditions with beefy front and rear axles, bringing excellent levels of stability and control. The ultra-stiff body structure allows the suspension to do its work effectively without the usual van-like intrusions. There's even Torque Vectoring Control which reacts to the road surface 100 times per second. Using this information, it balances the amount of power delivered to each of the two front wheels, maximising grip and sharpening handling. And you thought all that was just for sports models.
Design and Build
This revised Tourneo Custom has a bolder front-end appearance that shares the same design DNA as Ford's latest passenger cars, with a high-mounted trapezoidal grille and dynamic, slim headlamps that flow neatly into the vehicle's muscular shoulder line. Inside, there's a re-designed instrument panel which offers an attractive, user-centric layout influenced by consumer interactions with smart devices and tablets.
To provide customers the ultimate flexibility in configuring and using the rear cabin, the Tourneo Custom is the only vehicle in its segment to offer six individual rear seats, with the ability to arrange the two rear rows in conference format for enhanced interaction between passengers. Or you can set the cabin up with two rows of three seats facing forward. Standard on high series models, the six individual seats can each be folded flat, tumbled, stowed in a multiple locations or removed completely to maximise the luggage area or meet special business or lifestyle requirements.
You can have your Tourneo Custom configured as an eight or nine-seater. Either way, you can also choose an L1 (short wheelbase) or an L2 (long wheelbase) version. The L1 version is 4.97m in length, while the L2 is 5.34m. The L2's extra 370mm translates into extra luggage space behind the third row of seats. As a result, with all the rear seats removed, it offers up to 6.8 cubic metres of luggage space, compared to the L1's already generous 6.0 cubic metres. Because it's less than two metres in height, the Tourneo Custom fits within most car park limits.
Market and Model
Prices start at around £35,000 and as before, the line-up continues to also offer both eight or nine-seat configurations, with a choice of short wheelbase and long wheelbase versions. The longer model provides additional luggage space behind the third seat row. If you want a plusher package, this MPV is available with an upscale 'Titanium X' package that includes leather trim, Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment system with satellite navigation and rear view camera, plus HID Xenon headlamps. For customers seeking a more dynamic exterior appearance and a more stylish sports interior, a 'Sport' series is also available. This package combines the 185 PS engine option, a full exterior body kit with twin bonnet stripes and unique 17-inch alloy wheels, alongside partial leather interior trim.
This improved Tourneo Custom introduces 'FordPass Connect' on-board modem technology - standard for both the 4-inch and available 8-inch touchscreens. This enables each occupant to benefit from Wi-Fi connectivity, and a range of features can be accessed via the FordPass mobile app. These aim to make the vehicle ownership and operating experience easier and more productive, including Vehicle Status access, a Vehicle Locator, a Remote lock/unlock function and, for automatic variants, Remote Start.
Cost of Ownership
The big change with this revised Tourneo Custom model is the introduction of optional EcoBlue Hybrid 48-volt mild hybrid technology mated to the cleaner EcoBlue diesel unit introduced in 2018. the mild hybrid option is offered on the 130 and 185PS manual variants and has been optimised to enhance fuel efficiency. The 185PS mild hybrid variant manages up to 183g/km of CO2 and up to 40.3mpg on the combined cycle - both WLTP-rated figures. So how does it work? Well, a belt-driven integrated starter/generator (BISG) replaces the standard alternator, enabling recovery and storage of energy during vehicle decelerations, and charging a 48-volt lithium-ion air-cooled battery pack. The BISG also acts as a motor, using the stored energy to provide torque assistance to the engine under normal driving and acceleration, as well as running the vehicle's electrical ancillaries.
The EcoBlue Hybrid's advanced Auto Start-Stop technology operates in many situations, including when the vehicle is stationary in gear, and when the vehicle is coasting to a stop. The driver can adjust the coasting speed at which Auto Start-Stop operates, between 7mph and 12mph. All Tourneo Custom powertrains also benefit from a selectable ECO Mode to further reduce fuel consumption. The feature optimises the vehicle configuration and settings to maximise fuel efficiency. If you want to go further, there's a Plug-in Hybrid model based around 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol power mated to a 13.6 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Up to 31 miles of all-electric progress is promised - or 310 miles including the petrol engine's range. The Tourneo Custom Plug-In Hybrid can be charged using a domestic 240-volt 10-amp power supply to achieve full charge in less than six hours, or using a commercial 240-volt 16-amp or 32-amp supply to achieve full charge in three hours.
Vehicle manufacturers often seem so intent on finding minuscule pieces of white space between niches that they sometimes take their eye off what can be a neglected but potentially lucrative existing sector. Perhaps Ford has been guilty of that in the past, but with the Tourneo Custom, it's more than making up for that. If you've needed something that's bigger than a Galaxy but don't want to spend getting on for £40,000, there's really not much on offer above humble crew bus fare. The Tourneo Custom has changed that and significantly improves its proposition in this updated form, offering a vehicle with a bit of style and, should you want it, some decent interior appointments.
There's no shortage of space and with low ongoing running costs and the reassurance of typical Ford build quality, it's hard to see the Tourneo Custom disappointing. Perhaps Ford's biggest challenge will be in letting private buyers know the thing exists. For businesses it could be a no-brainer. For big families it could be the answer they never knew existed.
