Minister of State for Sport, Michael Ring, has announced the opening of the 2015 round of the Sports Capital Programme.
Speaking at the announcement, Minister Ring said: ‘When these grants are allocated later this year, this Government will have committed almost €130 million for the development of vital sports infrastructure across the country. This is testament to the Government’s belief in the value and power of sport to strengthen communities and gives people greater opportunities to engage in sport.
“The provision of an additional €40 million under this new round is key to facilitating participation in sport among local communities. With 90% of grantees telling us that the facilities we have funded helped them increase the numbers involved in sport, the value of the Programme can be in no doubt.
“This is the third round of Sports Capital funding that has been made available under this Government, following years of neglect in this area by the previous administration. The Programme, which is open from today, will facilitate successful applicants in carrying out essential works on pitches and facilities such as clubhouses and dressing rooms. It will also provide for the purchase of new equipment which will help people to play their chosen sport to the best of their ability, increasing the chances of them reaching their full potential. This further reinforces the positive impact that sport has on communities from a physical and a social perspective.
“The record number of applications received under the last two rounds of the Programme is testament to its value and the continuing need for improved facilities in every corner of the country. I would encourage all those who are interested to ensure that they are registered on the online system before 5pm on Friday, 10th April 2015 (if not already registered) and to get their applications in online at www.sportscapitalprogramme.ie before 5pm on Friday, 24th April 2015.”
A YouTube channel has been set up with guides to the registration and application process click here
The Sports Capital Programme is the Government’s primary vehicle for supporting the development of sports facilities and the purchase of non-personal sports equipment.
The programme funds:
- Natural grass sports pitches, tracks and courts (including pitch drainage)
- Artificial sports pitches, tracks, courts and multi-use games areas
- Security fencing, ball stop netting and goal posts
- Hurling walls / handball alleys
- Building or refurbishment of dressing rooms, showers and toilets
- Building or refurbishment of sports halls and gyms

When a person goes to buy a watch they provide little thought to the way the mechanics work with the watch. Why is them tick? Believe it or not, there is a superb deal to watch movements and many people choose to choose one movement type over another. Below is a listing of different watch movements and what the huge benefits are very that you possibly can make your best option for you personally where your watch is concerned.
Among the main kinds of movements for watches is the mechanical movements. That is where the main method for things to go is powered by a mainspring. This spring slowly unwinds and transmits the power through the entire watch. This sort of watch contains an oscillator which is to keep time. It works much such as a small wheel that moves back and forth. Watches today have an oscillator that moves approximately 28,000 times each hour.
The major element of a mechanical movement watch is the balance spring as it’s this that actually controls the turns or oscillations on the balance wheel part. Many individuals love these kind of watch movements as they are able to have the old fashioned winding watch or a self winding watch. You should not concern yourself with batteries at all.
The next most typical watch movement is the automatic mechanical movement. This can be a favorite watch of many as these kind of watches generally have clear backs so the wearer could see the mechanics of the watch while they wear it. These watches work by a rotor that’s shaped such as a fan. This rotor swings on a pivot when the person moves their arm while wearing the watch. There is no need to wind this watch but to ensure that it to work you will need to wear it for about 12 hours daily. This may provide the watch enough motion to keep it running smoothly all of the time. Today there are many watches that’ll work for approximately per week without having to wear the watch.
There are still watches around that work yourself wound mechanical movement. When you have this kind of watch then you definitely will have to wind it at least once per day such that it could keep time with no trouble. This is simply not among the more common kinds of watches today as people just like the simplicity of the watches that require no attention at all.
Quartz movement watches are also another kind of watch that’s very popular. These watches are run by electricity that originates from the battery. 二手勞力士價格 The name originates from the little quartz crystal that’s utilized in the watch which oscillates at around 32,786 times each second.
All of the quartz watches have a digital display but there are still plenty with the analog time display with is really a watch face with hands or dials that go across the watch to share with time. A few of the quartz watches offer both analog and digital displays to ensure that you’ll have the best of both kinds of watches. This sort of watch is named an ana-digi watch because it is both analog and digital at exactly the same time. You may also get watches that show the time in other areas of the world. This is often ideal for those in the military to simply help them keep track of the time home where their family members are at.
There are many of kinds of watches but knowing the kinds of movements of watches can assist you to for making the best choice in your watch. Some people prefer to have a watch that winds itself where others prefer to have a battery powered watch. There are perks to each one so the kind you get depends on your individual preference. When shopping for a watch, you may want to ask the jewelry what their preference is and why. This will give you some insight about what the jewelers think is the better kind of watch that’ll need little to no maintenance at all.

likely the best option at this point.

hostapd does not yet support D-Bus. The D-Bus code in wpa_supplicant
would (soon) allow this to be done in AP mode.

Inside the Toolbox: The Essential Equipment of an Emergency Plumber
This blog post provides an overview of the equipment used by emergency plumbers. An understanding of these essential tools will demystify the work carried out during unexpected plumbing problems, from clogs and leaks to more complex issues. Read on to explore the vital elements found in every emergency plumber's toolbox.
Specialised Tools for Clearing Clogs
Clogged pipes or drains are common problems encountered by homeowners, requiring immediate resolution to prevent damage or inconvenience. Emergency plumbers have several specialised tools for these situations:
These fundamental tools create a vacuum force that can dislodge most minor blockages in toilets or sinks. The cup or flange of a plunger forms a seal around the outlet, and the handle is used to apply forceful plunges, loosening the clog.
Also known as a drain auger, a plumber's snake is a flexible coil that can reach deep into a drain to remove blockages. The crank on one end is turned to manoeuvre the coil through the pipe to break up or retrieve the clog.
Specifically designed for use in sinks and bathtubs, a hand auger works on the same principle as a plumber's snake but is smaller and easier to navigate through tighter pipes.
Essential Tools for Pipe Work
When there are burst or leaking pipes, an emergency plumber utilises specific tools to effectively repair or replace the damaged section:
These handheld devices precisely cut through the pipe material, creating a clean edge for the replacement part to join onto. The sharp wheel of the pipe cutter slices the pipe as it is rotated around the circumference.
This large, heavy-duty tool has adjustable jaws that grip round objects, such as pipes, tightly. The serrated teeth increase grip strength for tightening or loosening fittings without damaging the pipe's surface.
Diagnostic Tools for Detecting Issues
Several diagnostic tools aid an emergency plumber in identifying the root cause of plumbing problems:
This high-tech device features a small camera attached to a flexible cable, allowing plumbers to view inside pipes and drains, reaching inaccessible areas and pinpointing problems without invasive procedures.
Water Pressure Gauge
This instrument measures the force exerted by the water in the pipes. It can help identify whether the water pressure is too high or too low, both of which can cause serious plumbing issues.
The toolbox of an emergency plumber is an array of equipment that combines to effectively handle any plumbing emergency. Each tool serves a specific purpose in identifying, diagnosing, and solving issues, assuring that homeowners can rely on these professionals during high-stress situations. If you would like to find out more, contact an emergency plumber today.

Lonker See – Hamza / (premiere of new album)
Lonker See is a Tri-City quartet that first met in a recording studio in 2016. The result of this meeting is the band’s first album titled “Split Image” released by MITW. Already on the first album you can see what is most important for Lonker See – the sound and style of play that arises at the interface of the four musical personalities included in the LS. Joanna Kucharska (Bass, vocals), Bartosz Boro Borowski (Guitars) Michał Gos (Percussion) and Tomasz Gadecki (Saxophones) together create spatial music that intrigues, hypnotizes and engages the listener in a wide spectrum of musical genres. You can hear space rock, psychedelic music, jazz, free jazz and ambient. Long forms full of improvised elements are interwoven with very specific melodies and strong grooves, and the tension is built by skilful handling of dynamics and emotions. In 2018, Instant Classic released the album ‘One Eye Sees Red’, which was very well received in the country and in the world, which initiated interest in the band abroad. LS played very well received concerts in Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Italy, Serbia, Hungary, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands, both on festival and on local stages. Currently the band is promoting their latest album “Hamza” released on 7/02/2020 for Antena Krzyku.

This is my mix for a purple toned fleshtone.
The colours used are:
- Abaddon Black (GW)
- Catachan Green (GW – old colour)
- Liche Purple (GW – old colour)
- Basic Skintone (Vallejo)
- Light Flesh (Vallejo)
I created the basecoat by mixing liche purple and basic skintone, in a 1:4 mix.
After that I startd highlighting by adding basic
skintone to the mix, in several steps until I reached almost a pure basic skintone. After that I added some light flesh to the mix for the
highest highlights, about 50/50 mix. The shades were painted by adding a little bit of catachan green
to the basic mix, and a little extra liche purple. Then a final shadow
was created by adding just the slightest bit of black to the previous
You can see an example of this mix used here on the skin of the female:

Existing health service facilities in Nepal are still insufficient to meet the growing need of reliable health care. This is why a significant number of patients are going to different hospitals of neighboring countries like India and Thailand for treatment. Ultimately this causes drainage of huge amount of foreign exchange from Nepal and great inconvenience to patients and their relatives. Urgent need for establishment of well equipped and reliable health care centre of international standard has always been felt.
Medicare Hospital Limited is expanding its operation in various ways in order to provide better curative, preventive, and also rehabilitative facilities with latest technologies to the people at moderate and affordable cost within the country. Flow of funds out of country can be reduced.

One Place after Another
Site-Specific Art and Locational Identity

A critical history of site-specific art since the late 1960s.
Site-specific art emerged in the late 1960s in reaction to the growing commodification of art and the prevailing ideals of art's autonomy and universality. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, as site-specific art intersected with land art, process art, performance art, conceptual art, installation art, institutional critique, community-based art, and public art, its creators insisted on the inseparability of the work and its context. In recent years, however, the presumption of unrepeatability and immobility encapsulated in Richard Serra's famous dictum "to remove the work is to destroy the work" is being challenged by new models of site specificity and changes in institutional and market forces. One Place after Another offers a critical history of site-specific art since the late 1960s and a theoretical framework for examining the rhetoric of aesthetic vanguardism and political progressivism associated with its many permutations. Informed by urban theory, postmodernist criticism in art and architecture, and debates concerning identity politics and the public sphere, the book addresses the siting of art as more than an artistic problem. It examines site specificity as a complex cipher of the unstable relationship between location and identity in the era of late capitalism. The book addresses the work of, among others, John Ahearn, Mark Dion, Andrea Fraser, Donald Judd, Renee Green, Suzanne Lacy, Inigo Manglano-Ovalle, Richard Serra, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, and Fred Wilson.
You are familiar with art history. Welcome to art geography, a new subdiscipline launched by Miwon Kwon's lustrous commentary on thirty-five years of artists' engagement with physical and political environments.
Andrew Ross, New York University
What makes this book so strong is the steady course it plots through the inevitable polemical rapids.
...will be valuable for practitioners in the field.
Timothy P. Brown
The concept of site specificity has been used to cover a wide and often ill-defined range of art practices. Kwon's important book clarifies the issues at stake and cogently lays out a number of analytical paths down which others will surely follow. One Place After Another will re-define the way we think about public art.
Russell Ferguson, Chief Curator, UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles
A compelling theoretical analysis that never loses sight of the 'here and now' of artistic practice and aesthetic experience. Miwon Kwon's exploration of the social and political dimensions of site specificity succeeds in being both original and provocative; it will provide a valuable foundation for all future studies.
Judith Russi Kirshner, critic, curator, and Dean of the College of Architecture and the Arts, University of Illinois at Chicago
One Place After Another discusses how artists from the 60s to the 90s have engaged with specific sites and their contexts, whether in art institutions or public places. Here, sites bring to the surface what is intrinsic to a locality but often overlooked or not yet visible. This book provides an important and critical overview of discourses about site specificity that will interest artists, commissioners, curators, institutions, critics, and the broader public.

Refinancing Mortgage | Refinance Home Loans
Obtaining a new mortgage to replace the original is called refinancing. Refinancing is generally done to allow a borrower to obtain a lower interest rate or restructure the existing loan term. For borrowers with a perfect credit history, refinancing can be a great way to convert a variable loan rate to a fixed or obtain a lower interest rate.
Borrowers with less than perfect, or even bad credit, or too much debt, refinancing can be risky.
In any economic climate, it can be difficult to make the payments on a home mortgage. Betweenpossible high interest rates and an unstable economy, making mortgage payments may become tougher than expected. Should you find yourself in this situation, it might be time to consider refinancing. With any refinancing, it is important to have a game plan.
What is Refinancing?
Refinancing is the process of obtaining a new mortgage in an effort to reduce monthly payments, lower your interest rates, or take cash out of your home for large purchases.
What are the Advantages of Refinancing?
One of the main advantages of refinancing regardless of equity is reducing an interest rate. A lower interest rate can have a profound effect on monthly payments, potentially saving you thousands of dollars a year. Second, many people refinance in order to obtain money for large purchases or to consolidate debt.
What are the Risks?
One important consideration is closing costs. Before any refinance transaction, it is important to evaluate closing costs and the expected break-even period. We evaluate each homeowners situation and in many cases can offer loans with no closing costs loans.
What Do I Do to Refinance?
The first thing you must do when considering refinancing is to consider exactly how you will repay the loan. If the home equity line of credit is to be used for home renovations in order to increase the value of the house, you may consider this increased revenue upon the sale of the house to be the way in which you will repay the loan. On the other hand, if the credit is going to be used for something else, like a new car, education, or to pay down credit card debt, it is best to sit down and put to paper exactly how you will repay the loan.
Reasons for a Borrower to Refinance
Borrowers may consider refinancing for several different reasons, including but not limited to:
- A Lower Monthly Payment. To decrease the overall payment and interest rate.
- Switching to a Fixed Rate Mortgage to avoid the uncertainty of Adjustable Rate Mortgages.
- Avoid Balloon Payments. Balloon programs, like ARMs are a good ideal for lowering initial monthly payments and rates. However, at the end of the fixed rate term, which is usually 5 or 7 years, if borrowers still own their property, then the entire mortgage balance would be due. With a balloon program, borrowers can easily switch over into a new fixed rate or adjustable rate mortgage.
- Eliminate Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). Low or zero down payment options can allow buyers to purchase a home with less than 20% down. Unfortunately, they usually require private mortgage insurance. PMI is designed to protect lenders from borrowers with a loan default risk. As the balance on a home decreases, and the value of the home itself increases, borrowers may be able to cancel their PMI with a mortgage refinance loan. The lender is required to remove PMI when certain conditions are met.
- Cash out a portion of the home’s equity. Generally, many homes will increase in value, and are therefore a great resource. Increased value gives the opportunity to put the equity to good use.

I cannot recall any other window frame as perfectly masked itself as plastic one. I had photographed it in Kalyazin, and did not bother to touch it; the idea had never dawned on me, though there were neither trees nor bushes in front of a house. But then, it never came to my mind that it could be made of wood, as I had never seen anything of its kind.
Yet, the window frame did not let me down. The photo clearly shows a roughness of a saw end and an a bit inaccurate joining, impossible with stamped plastic parts. And now this fine and intricate carving admire me even more.

The Nanu Film trail is an attempt to curate a little path through some cinema, for us to learn and share our ethusiasm for film, while still tackling the vibrant culture of Edinburgh.
Each month we will focus on one event happening in the city, and curate a small narrative of exploration and interrogation of films that surround it, contextualising the event within the wider world of movies. We hope you enjoy these, and take part in them wherever possible.
Although these trails are designed to be enjoyed within one month, taking place when relevant to the events of Edinburgh, we encourage you to enjoy them in your own time and at your own pace. The films we choose are a mixture of the obscure and the accessible, to offer a mixture of films that will appeal to as wide an audience as possible.
We hope you enjoy what we come up with. Why not get in contact and let us know?

It is not all well for the local Television Giants Bukkede, NBS and NTV who have been seemingly enjoying tiny competition in Uganda’s broadcast industry.
News have struck the media arena that the Buganda Kingdom will be unveiling her Television Station on 1st January. Sources say, panic as already ensued as Media is receiving yet an obvious strong challenger.
Information in corridors has it that poaching has taken a new twist as a number of Bukedde TV scribes have forwarded their work resumes to the new Mengo Based TV-BBS.
It is seemingly clear that NTV is a casualty of the competition. Reliable sources tell Newz Post that NTV’s its long serving foot soldier Dean Lubowa Saava is set to be one of the Editors at Mengo based TV station- BBS
The station already Poached NBS TV public relations manager Joe Kigozi. He is set to become the CEO of the station. Kigozi has been one of the most prominent faces and voices of the NBS TV. Kigozi has worked with NBS for five years as marketing manager.
Well here at Newz Post we wish the New station the best of luck. However, we have to warn you, its touch market. The management team may need to come up with clear strategy.

The Law and Political Economy CRN seeks to supply a discussion board for conversations between legal students, social scientists and others at the intersection of law and quite a lot of up to date approaches to political economic system from across the social sciences and humanities. The CRN will concentrate on encouraging the incorporation of a broader range of approaches to political economy into legal and sociolegal scholarship, whereas additionally facilitating a deeper engagement with authorized rules, institutions and processes by scholars from different disciplines. By focusing on political economy, the CRN goals to highlight and discover how the deeper sociolegal context constitutes and continually shapes financial habits and financial establishments. In addition, the CRN seeks to advertise scholarship that places issues of justice, equity, identity and sustainability at the forefront of discussions about legislation and political economy. Lastly, the CRN is thinking about selling work that’s historic, comparative and/or transnational in orientation, as well as work that focuses on national and subnational authorized methods and processes.
Crime + Justice
Students are instructed as to best practices before meeting with the inventor(s) and drafting the applying, after which are critiqued regarding their written patent functions. The patent functions will be written in phases, including invention disclosure considerations, drawings, claims, and specification, with critique on each step in the process. Multiple drafts of the whole application shall be written and critiqued until it’s prepared for submitting. This course is a graded course supplied in the spring and counts as a writing (W) course in direction of the upper-level writing requirement. Students might earn 2 credit whole (1 in-class credit score and 1 out-of-class credit).
You will find out how legal guidelines change to adapt to the changing values and needs of contemporary society and how judges make selections primarily based on earlier decisions in comparable circumstances known as precedents. This system is responsible for legislation and order, in addition to for everyone’s legal safety.
For in its restraint on political and legal power, the rule of legislation implies that these public types of power are the only types of energy that exist, or at least the only ones that matter. Moreover, in assuring the subjects of the law that that law is utilized with generality and certainty, the rule of regulation also implies that formal justice is the only related kind of justice; that equality before the regulation is similar to equality per se.
This contains the essential code of Jewish law, which some Israeli communities choose to make use of. The Halakha is a code of Jewish law that summarizes a few of the Talmud’s interpretations.
She echoed the perspective Asher introduced from CLS concerning the expectation for a tidal wave of eviction instances once courts return to full operations, since filings haven’t stopped although some courts have paused going forward with the proceedings. “The Denver County Court has put off eviction hearings a minimum of till June, however there might be an infinite backlog of evictions of people who have been unable to pay their rent; there will be foreclosures filed,” Asher said. He stated CLS is working with the Colorado Bar Association to get legal representation for shoppers in housing issues. A handful of counties together with Denver, Boulder and Weld counties have chosen to pause eviction proceedings, but Gov. Jared Polis hasn’t declared a statewide hire freeze, meaning landlords can still file evictions and attorneys have a patchwork of jurisdictional policies to trace. An April 8 Denverite story reported late lease payments in April more than doubled over January and February, according to a survey of large residential property administration companies.

Discussion in 'Star Citizen Main' started by GoPackersFTW, Dec 15, 2013.
Last I knew you were getting a constellation, my bad
I was jus playin mannng
Dont call me man, bro
I may have at least one extra ship and will need a RIO/Gunner also for my Cutlass. I hope to have a few people lined up for that position incase one is not on while I am playing. As stated above I am sure you will have no trouble finding a spot in a NNG ship/Crew.
I personally plan to be getting a Freelancer specifically for exploration and hunting things in space. It does take two people so I won't mind you jumping in with me when I get it and fly so I can have someone covering my backside in the turret
i'm stuck on the avenger or the hornet
If you have the money, get the hornet
Well, depends on what you wanna do, only the one hornet varient has any cargo space and it's only 4 tonnes. If you just want to straight up dogfight though, yeah, hornet kills the avenger.
i know but i dont know if i can do long distance with the hornet thats the only thing
they havent posted mileage
Hornet will have short legs , not as bad as the Carrier based aircraft but not that great. Think USAF F-16 . I read that somewhere, there are no lies on the internet

Malaysia: Gruma inaugurates new plant
Gruma, a Mexican manufacturer of corn flour, tortilla, flatbread and pizza base products, has opened a new plant in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
According to Gruma’s president and CEO Juan Moreno, the investment of $55 million represents a “solid step” towards “consolidating our global presence and strengthening our position as the world leader in the production of corn flour, tortillas and wraps”.
The facility is reported to have an annual production capacity of 30,000 tons of tortillas, tortilla chips, flat breads, and pizza bases. Its products will be distributed to countries in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
The company entered the Malaysian market in 2007 with the acquisition of a specialty flat bread factory and now reportedly intends to expand its presence in the market with its global brand Mission.

Born haber process ammonia. Haber’s Process 2022-11-07
Born haber process ammonia Rating:
The Born-Haber cycle, also known as the Born-Haber process, is a thermodynamic cycle used to calculate the lattice energy of an ionic compound. It is named after Max Born and Fritz Haber, who developed the concept in the early 20th century.
One of the most well-known examples of the Born-Haber cycle is the production of ammonia, which is a crucial chemical used in the manufacture of fertilizers and other products. Ammonia is produced through the Haber-Bosch process, which involves the reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen gases to form ammonia.
The Born-Haber cycle can be used to calculate the lattice energy of the resulting ammonia molecule, which is the energy required to break the ionic bonds in the molecule and separate it into its individual atoms. This lattice energy can then be used to predict the stability of the molecule and its ability to react with other substances.
The Born-Haber cycle for the production of ammonia begins with the separation of nitrogen and hydrogen atoms from their respective gases. This requires the input of energy, which is represented by the first step in the cycle.
Next, the nitrogen and hydrogen atoms must be brought together and bonded to form the ammonia molecule. This step also requires energy, as the atoms must overcome their mutual repulsion in order to form the covalent bond.
Once the ammonia molecule is formed, the lattice energy can be calculated by subtracting the energies of the individual atoms from the energy of the molecule. This lattice energy can then be used to predict the stability of the molecule and its ability to react with other substances.
The Born-Haber cycle is a useful tool for understanding the thermodynamics of chemical reactions and predicting the stability of molecules. It is particularly useful for ionic compounds, such as ammonia, where the lattice energy plays a significant role in determining the stability of the molecule.
Usually, this process takes place under high temperature and pressure. Instead, methane 1 and water 2 react to produce hydrogen within the system 3. In addition to rocket fuel, hydrazine is used as a blowing agent and in the pharmaceutical and fertilizer industries. Core Concepts In this article, you will learn about the Haber Process and its importance, as well as its kinetics, thermodynamics, and mechanisms. They are temperature, pressure, and a catalyst. In particular, solutions with water as the solvent — aqueous solutions — are the core of all biology.
The raw materials that are used for the process are listed below. During this process, a pure Nitrogen and Hydrogen gases are reacted in the ratio of 1:3 by volume at high temperatures 400 C — 500 oC and pressure of 150-200 atm in the presence of a catalyst, iron, or Molybdenum as a promoter. This study of thermodynamics can lead to predicting how chemical reactions will proceed or how much energy is required or released during the reactions. To get past the unreactivity of nitrogen, the Haber Process involves two important factors. It has been proposed that anhydrous liquid ammonia may be used as a clean fuel for the automotive industry. According to LeChatlier's principle, the equilibrium is favored at high pressures and at lower temperatures.
In high pressure and temperature, the pipe inside a reformer has a nickel catalyst. It was, however, an important development in this field. Birkeland-Eyde process and Frank-Caro process both being highly inefficient. Mechanistically, the catalyst must bind to nitrogen gas.  The Haber process is typically carried out at pressures between 200 and 400 atmospheres and at temperature of 500 oC. Converting N2 into ammonia posed a challenge for chemists globally.
Haber's Process for the Manufacture of Ammonia & Its Uses
Encyclopédie internationale des sciences et des techniques in French. Many metals were intensively tested in the search for suitable catalysts: The requirement for suitability is the dissociative adsorption of Due to the comparatively low price, high availability, easy processing, lifespan and activity, iron was ultimately chosen as catalyst. Reactions at Solid Surfaces. Winter, Hyunjun Lee, Dongjun Lim, Hankwon Lim, and Menachem Elimelech ACS Energy Letters 2022 7 9 , 3032-3038. Retrieved 4 March 2009.
A certain amount of ammonia is produced, which is distilled by running a cold water jacket over the reaction mixture 11. The energy-intensivity of the process contributes to climate change and other environmental problems such as leaching of nitrates into ground water, rivers, ponds and lakes; expanding dead zones in coastal ocean waters, resulting from recurrent eutrophication; atmospheric deposition of nitrates and ammonia affecting natural ecosystems; higher emissions of nitrous oxide N 2O , now the third most important greenhouse gas following CO 2 and CH 4. Background Haber 1868—1934 was from a well-to-do German Jewish family involved in various manufacturing enterprises. Diatomic gaseous chlorine breaks into two individual atoms by absorbing bond energy, such that each chlorine atom absorbs half of the bond energy of chlorine molecule. Reaction Rate and Equilibrium The Haber process for the synthesis of ammonia is based on the reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen. Much of Haber's research was to find a catalyst that favored the formation of ammonia at a reasonable rate at lower temperatures.
Retrieved 4 March 2009. Then it is collected and stored in the containers. Ammonia is considered as the major raw material for agriculture and industry. Here a metal catalyst is used and high temperatures and pressures are maintained. The Haber-Bosch Process In 1905 Haber reached an objective long sought by chemists—that of fixing nitrogen from air.
The role of the redox chemistry of cobalt is in preventing birth defects and controlling heart disease. Journal für Praktische Chemie. He studied at several German universities, earning a doctorate in organic chemistry in 1891. Later, oxygen and nitrogen gas enter the system 4 , which further generates hydrogen from methane 5. There are many entrance examination related questions that can come in accordance with this.
Unit 13 Modern Materials and the Solid State: Crystals, Polymers, and Alloys n this unit, the focus shifts from fluids and their solutions to solids, whose atoms and molecules are fixed in definite arrangements. Approach to analyzing reaction energies The Born—Haber cycle is an approach to analyze reaction Born—Haber cycles are used primarily as a means of calculating This lattice calculation is complex. In any electrochemical process, one species will lose electrons and get oxidized, while the other must concurrently gain electrons and get reduced. You will be able to know the process in detail and the condition is causing it. Ammonia is the precursor for many other chemicals such as nitric acid, hydrazine, acrylonitrile, and hexamethylenediamine.
The Haber Process: A Simple Discovery that Changed the World
It acts and gets used in agricultural, explosives, pharmacy, refrigeration, and consumer products. It mainly helps in describing the formation of ionic compounds from different elements. Eventually, about 98% of the original gas mixture reacts to form ammonia after enough runs. Chemistry: The Central Science 10thed. In each pass different forms of conversion takes place and unreacted gases are recycled. Retrieved 6 April 2009. Runner-up for the Schools Science Writing Competition, Trinity Term, 2020 Consider supporting the Oxford Scientist! The hot gases are cooled enough, whilst maintaining a high pressure, for the ammonia to condense and be removed as liquid.

MECA gives students with the talents, opportunities and experiences to be creative professionals for life. The SIES College of Arts, Science and Commerce was inaugurated on 20th of June 1960 by Shri Y. B. Chavan, the primary Chief Minister of Maharashtra to serve the ever-growing academic needs of students from North and Central Mumbai Suburbs, and was the gift of the South Indians in Mumbai to the then newly-born State of Maharashtra.
In addition to working on several of her personal commissions, ‘Brien also has an active studio practice and lately attended painting residencies at the Vermont Studio Heart in Johnson, Vermont, and at Hewnoaks Artist Colony in Lovell, Maine.
To determine the final record, Might assembled a crew of arts professionals, which included PMA’s Judy and Leonard Lauder Director Mark Bessire, artist and Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance co-founder Theresa Secord, and Skowhegan Faculty of Painting & Sculpture Co-Director Sarah Workneh.
Hannah Hoch is typically credited as the unique collage artist, and based on that historical reality alone, I believe her work is rather more engaging than that of any of those artists you mentioned, since by that point collage had already been established as a regular for post-fashionable artwork-making.
CACE graduates have demonstrated their distinctive stage of skill and achievement by winning many awards together with the Christo Award, the Sheikha Manal Younger Artist Award, the Salama bint Hamdan Emerging Artists Fellowship program and the Abu Dhabi Tourism and Tradition Authority’s Qasr al Hosn Cultural District Mosque Competitors.

I wrote a little package called “Datasacks” that are basically Unity ScriptableObjects and can be plugged into various UnityEngine.UI components to ease the process of integrating with your game code.
The basic idea is that you no longer need to drag references from your scenes/prefabs into your code. Instead you drag references to these Datasacks, and then the UI components or your code interoperates directly with those Datasacks.
For efficiency these components set up a small network of bidirectional listener/observer patterns in order to make it all very slim on Unity runtime resources.
All the source is available here at:
There’s a little mini example game inside of it showing off a lot of the components, as outlined in the above diagram.

If you are a business owner, you might be experiencing a breakdown in your business right now due to COVID-19. We’ve been hearing rumors about lockdowns and social distancing, stating that it might last for a few more months.
According to statista.com, “About 29% had seen sales decrease at their business or workplace due to the COVID-19 outbreak.” While another report by statista.com has revealed that, “the retail sales of nonstore retailers have increased by 0.7% during this COVID-19 in the United States.”
So what can businesses do to survive?
Most industries across are taking sincere efforts to reinvent themselves with the shifting consumer behavior by reworking on their digital marketing strategy and budgets to survive in this unreliable economic situation. The current situation stresses on the businesses to leverage the benefits digital marketing strategies, and evolve with the trends.
Here are some effective digital marketing strategies that might help businesses to walk through this unfamiliar situation.
During this pandemic phase, don’t miss to use the words like – ‘We care for you,’ ‘you are our valued customer,’ ‘we understand your problem’ etc., in your newsletters, when commenting the discussion forums, social media engagements, and even when someone leaves a review about your business. But, remember this is not the time to push your products. Instead, you should let them know, that you understand what they are facing right now. Show the human side of your business. Though you won’t be able to do any business at the present, this will be of great help to you after COVID 19 phase. Showing empathy will help you stay connected with your customers and grabs a place for your brand in their minds!
Enhance Your Brand
SEO is a great way to brand tool for your business. But, the trick likes in understanding how to use it tactfully. In the present situation, people might not have use for your product or services, as they are worrying about keeping themselves healthy, worrying about jobs or business and other loans. This does not mean that customers are offline. Being quarantined at home, customers are looking out for different information related to COVID-19 that will make their life easy. So you can align your content strategy that shares safety messages to the audience.
Increase Your Brand’s Visibility
According to emarketer, “49% held back a campaign launch until later in 2020.” Always keep in mind – anything out of sight, is out of mind. Meaning if your brand fails to appear on the search results, they will forget your brand. So, look for ways to stay connected with your customers by way of – Video marketing, Social channels, forums, blogs etc. This will also give you an edge over your competitors.
Make use of Analytical Insights
With SEO analytics, you get to predict the demand for your goods and services. The organic traffic that you have generated in your website is a sign of interest on your brand. The needs of people might have shifted during this pandemic period, but it is not going to remain this way always. They might turn to be hot leads after the pandemic passes away.
COVID 19 is a tragedy for the people across the globe, as it has affected the lives, jobs, businesses and even relationships of many. But, humanity must live on. Staying indoors will keep many safe, and finally, after the pandemic ends, we can get ready to rebuild our lives.
Stay Strong! Stay Safe!

I noticed that my blog posts have not been auto-magically updating on my Facebook page recently, so I dove into the maze of settings for RSS-Graffiti to fix the problem.
Or, rather, I tried to. Instead, I found this:
We currently power over 300,000 Facebook pages; only about 500, or less than 0.25% of clients, see enough value to pay for the service…lost a considerable sum of money…the product is not sustainable…we will be discontinuing….
As a small-business owner, I feel their pain, although I probably would have recommended taking a higher road in their sign-off. Similar ‘sending a shutdown shout-out’ messages have become frequent on Medium (1, 2, 3), leading me to a few further thoughts:
- Announcing the end: Telling users and investors that the service is going away by posting an essay on a company website or social aggregator is not a useful or graceful way to exit. It is likely to be discovered too late and then irritates everyone who reads it. ‘far better to provide a sincere apology, a self-accountable explanation, and a migration / recovery path for those impacted.
- 300,000 users abandoned: This again underlines the transient nature of internet startups. I have been burned by arbitrary service shutdowns many times, losing feeds, websites, contacts, mail, files, pictures, and connections that could not be replaced. The large-scale demise of Windows Live Essentials, Microsoft Small Business services, and Google Reader shows that size is no protection. Now, I practice redundancy and local backups for any data of value: I don’t rely on any single-site solutions. Take a moment to think about who you trust and how you would recover if they suddenly stopped.
- Rethinking the business model: RSS Graffiti never gave me a compelling reason to pay. The added services that came with premium membership were faster posting, more social networks, and better support, but I didn’t need any of them for my modest use. I would have paid a proportionate subscription, $5-$30 per year, and their large user base could have raised millions by that change alone. When the business model fails, it’s important to admit it early and make a change.
There are a number of alternatives to RSS Graffiti available, and I have switched over to Buffer, which offers the features and small-scale flexibility that I need. I am using the free DIY posting while I get the sense of it, but will likely switch to the pay model once I’m ready to connect my feed.
I use Instagram more and more for my social connections. People’s photos and comments make me feel happier, and I’m avoiding trips to the swamp of petty cruelties and advertisements that Facebook has become.
Two tips for getting the most out of Instagram:
- I am gradually expanding my connections by finding friends, relevant hashtags, strong curators, and occasionally taking the site’s recommendations. I go through much the same process with Medium: accept that it takes time to gradually build up a feed on unstructured aggregators.
- Instagram lacks the ability to export pictures and to upload from a browser, so I needed to find extensions for both. InstaSave does the job of saving photos from my feed, while InstaPic gave me more ease and flexibility than the top-rated Grambler for posting from the PC desktop.
As always, my recommendations are entirely my own: I have neither been solicited nor paid for these comments.

A new study suggests that we recall bad memories more easily and in greater detail than good ones for perhaps evolutionary reasons.
Researchers say negative emotions like fear and sadness trigger increased activity in a part of the brain linked to memories.
Negative Events are Remembered with More Accurate Detail than Positive Events.
The way in which we think about things really matters! When we are experiencing tough times, we need to remember to have hope, and to believe that in the long run, things can turn out well.
We must remember to take an ‘agathistic’ approach. This approach allows us to be true to our emotions, to experience them, and importantly, to not deny that they exist. It is good to experience our feelings and to live our lives.
Try to believe that in the end, negative events may actually turn into something good. Be open to the possibility that there may be a lesson to learn, an opportunity for growth, or an unexpected positive outcome.
After reading this, I looked for ways to overcome the negative emotions and suddenly remembered an interesting word, my friend introduced me to, some days ago – ‘Agathism’ from the Greek ἀγαθός agathos (good.
Agathism is, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, “The doctrine that all things tend towards ultimate good, as distinguished from optimism, which holds that all things are now for the best”.
An agathist accepts that evil and misfortune will happen, but that the eventual outcome leads towards the good.
In other words, an agathist may see the world as essentially good but a place in which bad things can and do happen to good people.
In this wonderful year ahead, despite the looming threat of recession, the ongoing war and other negatives that may happen, I am sure the good things which we all will experience will far outweigh the negatives that may happen.
Let’s follow the doctrine of ‘Agathism’ and start with an empty jar, and add a note on all the good things that happen each week and at the end of the year, recollect the amazing year we had & stay blessed forever.

Your brave dog has volunteered to join the advance party! Send them ahead to scout for danger on the horizon and then have them report back to you.
Scentventure Compass Point: Environment
Your dog moves away from you towards an obstacle, around it and back to you. Choose an obstacle that is not so big that you can’t pass your hand around it, but not so small that your dog turns tightly. In training your dog is required to go around the obstacle in both directions but in your chain you can choose your strongest side.
Possible obstacles: plant pot, footstool, log, tree trunk, box, suitcase, bin, chair, hoover, lawnmower
Dogwood version: planters, marker poles, logs, telegraph pole (East)
How to train
1. Lure your dog around the obstacle with food. Use your marker word as soon as their shoulder passes the other side of the object and reward them with the food from your hand.
2. Once your dog is confidently and smoothly following the lure, remove the food and use just your hand for your dog to follow. Mark and reward.
3. Once your dog is confidently and smoothly following your hand without a lure, add a verbal cue just before you begin. Mark and reward. The verbal cue is ‘Scout’.
4. Once your dog is listening to the cue and performing the behaviour, start a short distance away and walk up to the obstacle together.
Only move on when you can get 5/5 confidently and smoothly at each stage.
The Three Ds of dog training: distance, duration and distraction. We can use these to increase the challenge for our dogs. Choose just one to focus on per training session.
Distance is how far away you are from your dog when they perform the task. The farther away you get, the harder your dog is likely to find it. When you’re adding distance, start close and build slowly.
Duration is the length of time your dog stays in position. Some behaviours don’t have a duration factor, such as jumping in the ‘rabbit’ challenge. Behaviours like ‘bear’ do require your dog to hold the position longer. The longer we ask them to hold it, the more difficult the task becomes. Be sure to start with a very short duration, just one second and build slowly.
Distraction involves whatever else is going on around your dog at the time, from a deer running across the mountain to a thunderstorm. If your dog finds it exciting or disrupting, it’s a distraction.
Example: adding distance to Scout
Sometimes the path is too narrow for your Team to walk together, or, in the case of Scout, too dangerous. Can you try to increase the distance between you and your dog?
Start right next to the object you’re asking your dog to scout around and gradually increase the distance inch by inch.
As always, I’m looking forward to seeing your videos and answering your questions.

Learning about the conditions that the mine workers where subjected to in a lecture and then being put in them are two complete different things, as you can't fully appreciate until you are put in the same confinements. I was overwhelmed by the courage of the human spirit as the conditions they worked in sufferance in where appalling, for ends meet. We could barely last an hour underground in the cramped conditions and not even 5 minutes in the tunnels that they spent 8 hours a day in.
From doing the group work it has enabled me to research the history and creation of the Sheffield Hallam University. At the start I didn’t think I would be interested as what does the history of the university have to do with planning? Well I was pleasantly surprised during my research I was able to find out about the twists and turns of the development of the Psalter campus and the redevelopment, which required me to understand some of the different planning practices such as their affordable housing strategy. From reading the planning officers report it was interesting to see the different justification they used when addressing the polices and how the history of the site related to the ability for redevelopment elsewhere.
The hardest part about the group work was picking a topic, as we were all trying to please everyone and it was hard to find a topic that interested everyone. However by working in a multifaceted group it opened my eyes to a different way at looking at the information which gave me a greater understanding on the work we were doing. Group work was definitely the most stressful and challenging work that we had to do at the university but once you have the end result it was all worth it.

"Asphlat, Steine, Scherben" (Asphalt, Stones, Shards)
Sophia Kesting & Dana Lorenz, 2012 — 2023
– Framed handmade gelatin silver prints on baryta paper
– wallpapered photographs, dimensions variable
– bowling balls
For the past ten years Sophia Kesting and Dana Lorenz have been scrutinising, through the medium of photography, the square of peaceful revolution in Leipzig and its ongoing process of transformation. Located in the city centre, ‘Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz’ is representative of the handling of the legacy of GDR architecture, something which in many places has yet to be negotiated, and of the manoeuvring, at the level of urban planning, between social and economic interests.
Asphalt, Steine, Scherben (“Asphalt, stones, shards”), the title of their artistic project, linguistically orbits the materiality of this public square; the plans for the use and development of the site, for years the subject of heated debate, have still not been implemented.
Between identification and alienation, collective memories and attributions of identity, Sophia Kesting and Dana Lorenz photographically research the condition of the spaces in and on the square. For this they employ various documentary strategies: over 1,500 medium-format photographs in black and white show the square’s characteristic buildings, but also situational activities and ambiguous scenes from its diverse interim uses. The stasis of the site becomes visible in the performative repetition of visual motifs. Hard-lit night shots taken with a flash contrast with fragmentary daytime situations. Any contextualisation in time or space is dismantled by the alternation of real occurrences and staged re-enactments. The sequences of images follow no narrative structure, but enter as individual pictures into a visual dialogue. Just as Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz regularly undergoes changes — from consumerist events to political symbolic attributions, as in the case of the recent Black Lives Matter demonstrations — so the artistic visual language transforms as well.
The two artists work on the project as a collective and unite the respective ways they see the square into a common visual language.
Their analogue approach references the historical dimension of documentary practices: Sophia Kesting and Dana Lorenz experienced the upheavals of 1989/90 — both the euphoric fall of the Berlin Wall and its sobering consequences — as children. The failed City of Leipzig proposal for a Monument to Freedom and Unity, and the possible conversion of the former Bowlingtreff, which only opened in 1987 and is today a listed building, form an important basis of the photographs, which function as an interstitial space of thought.

Filmmaker captures a still vibrant legend
Jessica Edwards’ Mavis! makes its national television debut this month on HBO. The film on legendary gospel and soul singer Mavis Staples — still singing powerfully in her mid-seventies — made its Twin Cities premiere last November in St. Paul, and it premieres on HBO February 22 (check local listings).
Edwards attended the St. Paul screening and took audience questions afterwards. She recalled watching Staples’ reactions while seeing the film for the first time at a film festival in Texas. “I sat behind her, trying to gauge how it was going,” remembers the director. “She was crying, laughing and started giggling like she was 15-years-old.”
It was at the tender age of 15 that Staples began performing with her father and her sisters, which kick-started a six-decade-plus musical career that crossed multiple genres. Staples applied chameleon-like skills when needed over the years to transform herself and adapt to the times.
“We filmed her for 18 months, about 10 concerts and three sit-down interviews, and a number of extra things,” explains Edwards, who admits it’s hard to squeeze a person’s life, especially one as rich and colorful as Staples’, in less than 90 minutes.
“There’s tons of stuff,” including her mentee-mentor relationship with famed singer Mahalia Jackson, that didn’t make the final cut, but hopes to include it in a later DVD version, she says.
But what did wind up in the first documentary on this legend is well worth watching. It is a well presented autobiographically without being historical. The film includes Staples’ unreleased work with Prince, and also features on-screen interviews with Bob Dylan, who said how much she and her family were influential in his early work.
Rapper Chuck D and others are also included. “The idea that Chuck D. was eight years old, sitting in his mother’s arms and jamming to ‘Let’s Do It Again.’ These are the kind of threads I wanted to connect her to,” states Edwards of Staples’ cross-generational impact on music and musicians. She proudly calls Staples “the Forrest Gump of American music.”
If you don’t know Staples or her music, you will by watching Mavis! If you are already a Mavis fan, you’ll come away with a new appreciation after watching Edwards’ documentary.
“My biggest fear in making the film was to treat this as a historical document, which it wasn’t at all,” contends Edwards. “I didn’t want it to feel historical, so we focused on her 75th year [of life] as a framework.” And Mavis! stayed true to this by presenting Staples in the here-and-now.
“I was attracted to her because she is so vibrant and vital now,” adds Edwards of Staples. “She blossomed into this artist at 65-years-old. I want to spread the gospel of Mavis so that everybody can experience it.”
Edwards expressed her excitement on getting her film on HBO: “[It] was huge for us. They
came to us shortly after it was aired in Austin [Texas],” recalls Edwards.
After the Q&A, Edwards talked to the MSR, who previously published a pre-screening interview with her in late October of last year.
“I’m so glad,” responded Edwards, smiling when told how impressively done Mavis! was after seeing it for the first time. “She [Staples] did perform with everybody. Country singers have performed with her. She ran the gamut.
“What’s interesting now is that she’s attracting a new generation, which is my generation,” said Edwards. “White, young kids who may have been interested and knew some of her music and know the Staples Singers, are now discovering her entire catalog, which is lucky for us that the music is still there. That’s the best part.”
As some documentaries seemingly want to show a “warts and all” account on musicians, this wasn’t the case for Edwards’ film on Staples. “Mavis really doesn’t have that in her life,” she said. “It’s so shocking to people that there is this…African American performer who truly comes from a stable [family], with love and support. Let’s see more of that.”
If you missed it here locally last November, you shouldn’t miss it this time around when it premieres on HBO February 22.
“I feel real strongly that she is an African American woman, an older African American woman who can be a role model,” concludes Edwards on Staples. “She’s 75 and I am half her age. She’s been doing it her whole life.”

H. MIDDLETON SR. was appointed to the Camden Fire Department on
April 8, 1876 as an extra man with Engine Company
1, filling the position of his brother-in-law George
Horneff who had been promoted to Assistant Engineer. George
H. Middleton Sr. was one of the many new firemen brought into
the department when Claudius Bradshaw was elected Chief.
Bradshaw was Chief for just three years, and most of the men he
brought into the department only served a year or two. George H.
served for one year. He was replaced by Joseph Green on April 8,
H. Middleton was born on December 14, 1843 in Camden to Deborah
and Joseph H. Middleton. The 1850 Census lists the family in
Camden's North Ward. Joseph H. Middleton worked as a laborer to
support his family. By 1860 they family had moved to the Middle
Ward. Besides George H., the family included older brother William
and younger siblings Joseph H., Abigail, Mary, Rebecca, John D.,
and Sarah. George Middleton did not serve during the Civil War.
Not long before the 1870 Census was taken, George Middleton
married Cordelia Horneff Shields. When the census was taken,
George H. Middleton, his wife Cordelia and her son from her
previous marriage, Samuel Shields, were living in Camden's South
Ward. The Census states that George H. Middleton was working as a
ferryman, given where he lived, he probably was working at the
Kaighn's Point Ferry at the foot of Kaighn Avenue. Not long after
the Census, the Middletons were blessed with a daughter, Amanda.
Sadly, she died the following year. In November of 1872 a son,
George H. Middleton Jr. was born.
appointed to the Fire Department in April of 1876, George H.
Middleton and family were living at 433 Riley Street in South
Camden, and they were still there at the beginning of 1878. By
years end they had moved to 434 Mount
Vernon Street. This would be
George H. Middleton's home for the rest of his days.
indicated above when the Census was taken on June 9, 1880 the
Middleton family, which then included George Jr. and Samuel
Shields, Cordelia's child from a previous marriage, was living at
Vernon Street. George H. Middleton Sr. was working as an
engineer aboard a steamboat. Cordelia Horneff Middleton died on
November 13, 1880. On February 3, 1887 George H. Middleton Sr.
married Martha M. Hoffner in Camden. He continued to work as an
engineer aboard ships well into the 1900s. By 1910 he hat retired
and was living on pension. George H. Middleton Sr. passed away on
June 20, 1912 in Camden.
H. Middleton Jr. was still living at 434 Mount
Vernon Street in April of 1930. He passed away on October 19,
1932. His widow, Agnes Middleton, was still at that address as
late as 1940.

Exam Marking – Use your Knowledge to Make money
Many teachers and lecturers – both active and retired – boost their income by marking GCSE and other exam papers. It’s a useful way of squeezing extra cash out of something you already know how to do. If you’d like to mark exams for some extra income then read on…
Exam boards generally recruit throughout the year with the bulk of examiners employed for the summer. Most exam marking is done in June and then a bit more in January, leaving you free for the rest of the year.
You might get one other batch of exam marking if you’re lucky. However, you are unlikely to get four contracts in twelve months.
Exam marking usually takes three or four weeks for which the examiner will be paid something in the range of £500 to £1,000. The number of scripts involved varies from subject to subject, as does the payment per script. Some subjects are tougher to mark so examiners are paid more for each one and given fewer of them.
Training is provided for new examiners. In addition to this, you have to attend a standardisation meeting for each contract to ensure consistency.
You can expect to earn between £500 and £1,000 over three or four weeks, more than enough to pay for a week or two in the sun!
Nothing except your time, although you will need your own computer for online exam marking. This is because most scripts are now marked through an online system.
Training days are free and most exam boards will bear the replacement costs if you have to miss a day of teaching. To reimburse these costs, exam boards will often give you a teacher release voucher. As well as this, you should get travel expenses too.
You must be fully qualified in the subject you’re examining and ideally have teaching experience in it. Computer literacy is just as important, as you’ll most likely be required to work online as an examiner.
There will be training days where new examiners learn the secrets of standardised exam marking. Here you’ll be monitored throughout the exam marking process.
- You can work alongside your current role.
- Three or four weeks will earn you enough to take a holiday!
- Being an examiner will look good on your CV.
- It will improve your teaching. There’s nothing like marking 300 scripts to help you realise what examiners like and dislike.
- The training sessions provide valuable networking opportunities.
- Oh yes, and you can work at home where the coffee is probably better than at work.
- There even may be an opportunity to become a senior examiner too.
- The work comes in short, sharp, concentrated bursts.
- 500 pieces of work are a lot to get through in three or four weeks.
- Self-discipline and effective time management are a must. You can’t leave it all to the last minute, plus you owe the students a clear mind.

"A Year of Biblical Womanhood," by Rachel Held Evans
What is “biblical womanhood” . . . really?
Strong-willed and independent, Rachel Held Evans couldn’t sew a button on a blouse before she embarked on a radical life experiment—a year of biblical womanhood. Intrigued by the traditionalist resurgence that led many of her friends to abandon their careers to assume traditional gender roles in the home, Evans decides to try it for herself, vowing to take all of the Bible’s instructions for women as literally as possible for a year.
Pursuing a different virtue each month, Evans learns the hard way that her quest for biblical womanhood requires more than a “gentle and quiet spirit” (1 Peter 3:4). It means growing out her hair, making her own clothes, covering her head, obeying her husband, rising before dawn, abstaining from gossip, remaining silent in church, and even camping out in the front yard during her period.
See what happens when a thoroughly modern woman starts referring to her husband as “master” and “praises him at the city gate” with a homemade sign. Learn the insights she receives from an ongoing correspondence with an Orthodox Jewish woman, and find out what she discovers from her exchanges with a polygamist wife. Join her as she wrestles with difficult passages of scripture that portray misogyny and violence against women.
With just the right mixture of humor and insight, compassion and incredulity, A Year of Biblical Womanhood is an exercise in scriptural exploration and spiritual contemplation. What does God truly expect of women, and is there really a prescription for biblical womanhood? Come along with Evans as she looks for answers in the rich heritage of biblical heroines, models of grace, and all-around women of valor.
I wanted to read this book as I was curious about what exactly it entailed to live like a "Biblical Woman" would have. When reading a book it should be an enjoyable experience, not a chore; unfortunately this was a chore for me. It took me nearly a month to read, which is super long for me, and it felt like hard work to wrap my head around all the details.
It's unfortunate that all the publicity surrounding this book focuses on the author sitting on her roof, living in a tent during her period and calling her husband "Master," as there is a lot more to this book than that and I think if I were brought up in a more "relaxed" faith I think I may have enjoyed/related to this more.
I did learn more about the women in the Bible, but one person's interpretation of Bible stories/verses etc, may not be another ones. So I found myself wondering why she thought certain things meant what. I have no examples to show you, as I didn't write notes when reading the book, and that I think would have been a good idea. This book has left me having more questions than answers.
Would I recommend this book to you..........YES, as I think you will gain something by reading this book. If nothing else it will make you think about some of the passages of the Bible that the author quotes. Was it accurate in all it said........probably not, but if you go into this book with an open mind you may learn something new.
Stars out of 5 : 3 Glad I have read it, but wasn't sorry to see the last page of the book!
I will be donating my copy of the book to the local library.

An economic resurgence of China has been enough to propel the container and dry bulk markets forward. In its latest weekly report, shipbroker Allied Shipbroking said that “China’s surging economic activity has been the main story thus far in the year, with the increased industrial output and revamped consumption in the country having been the main primer in the stellar performance seen in many shipping sectors such as that of dry bulkers and containerships”.
According to Allied’s George Lazaridis, Head of Research & Valuations, “both Industrial output and Retail sales have soared in recent months, while the vast number of stimulus packages being unleashed onto the global economy have also helped China produce strong export figures for the first two months of 2021. On this footing many have predicted China’s GDP growth level to breach the 8% mark and possibly even reach close to 9% (considerably above the modest target of just above 6% set by Beijing). Yet, given the imbalance that is taking shape in the global economy and trade, with China being the only major economy that has seemingly managed to pull out of the pandemic up to now, it might not be all smooth sailing for global trade just yet. The first two months of the year have been a big shot in the arm for many shipping markets”.
“Containerships have been big winners so far, having capitalized significantly from the disruptions noted in industrial production across the globe (opening up new supply chains to plug up the shortages being left behind). Though with this increased appetite for finished goods from “the World’s Factory” (pre-pandemic, China accounted for 28% of the world’s manufacturing), imports of raw materials have been quick to follow suit. Iron ore was one of the main commodities to make the initial leap (though since then has scaled back), while close in pursuit have been other major and minor bulk commodities which have taken a similar course. Yet the impressive freight rate rally of late has been driven only part by the exceptional demand figures being noted”, Lazaridis said.
Meanwhile, “in the case of the dry bulk market, all this has been in the making for some time now. Due to several years of high volatility, unpredictable shock events and the subsequent poor earnings they produced, the dry bulk fleet has remained relatively stagnant over the past couple of years, with minimal growth having been noted and one of the lowest order books on record (compared to the active trading fleet). This has primed the market for a considerable windfall to be had under such demand growth levels.
What’s more is that all of this has taken place without the U.S. or Europe having shown signs of an economic recovery, something that many believe will soon follow once these economies start to lift their pandemic lockdown restrictions. That is also likely to be the point that we will see the effects and the major dividends of the massive stimulus packages that have been unleashed”, Allied’s analyst added.
Lazaridis concluded that “given all this therefore, it would seem that a big market bonanza is still in front of us to be had. This would however be an over simplistic way to be looking at the market developments that have unfolded over the past few months. For the moment we are still seeing a market primarily feeding off a number of “mammoth” cash injections. Where these to fail in supporting key parts of the global economy moving forward, then this market recovery with its soaring freight rates could fizzle out just as quickly as it came to fruition. 2021 would likely miss such a fizzle, though if it were to materialize the strains would surely start to surface during the latter half of the year. For the time being, things are still set on a fair course and many in the market have already started to feel it. The hope is that this market “rocket” still has ample fuel left in its tanks”.

They found a new shark nursery in Ireland! Let’s hope the Irish government protects this area from the destructive practice of trawling, especially bottom trawling!
There’s discussion going on after the fatal bite incident involving Arthur Medici off of Cape Cod of going after the seals to limit great whites in the local waters. Here’s why it won’t work.
There will be a screening of Sharkwater: Extinction in Denver on Monday, December 3rd, hosted by Fins Attached Marine Research and Conservation. Go to the Facebook invite to learn more now!

- The possibility of more tax exposure for overseas buyers, due to the proposed stamp duty surcharge of up to 3% for overseas buyers. This will be the subject of a government consultation in the early 2019.
- The expectation of interest rate rises.
THE CURRENT RISKS TO THE MARKET
- Brexit pushes the UK into recession.
- Interest rates rise faster than expected.

This spring, the Buckeyes rotated their linebackers quite a bit looking to find their best three.
With starting middle linebacker Tuf Borland out, however, the situation was pretty fluid. Also missing was fifth-year senior Dante Booker, who was recovering from shoulder surgery.
While much of the attention has been placed on the linebackers who have yet to start a game, Booker remained in the background this spring recovering from injury. Despite the lack of attention, Booker has no intention of giving up a starting job that he has won two different times.
And he could be as healthy as he has been in years.
“Dante will be back from his injury sometime late in the summer and we’re excited about him coming back and being a big part of our defense,” Ohio State linebackers coach Bill Davis said this spring.
With players like Baron Browning, Malik Harrison, Keandre Jones, and Pete Werner getting all of the reps and most of the attention, some people may be overlooking what Booker could contribute.
The Buckeye coaches, however, have done no such thing.
“There was a report a little while ago that was a false report, but right now, Dante Booker is 100 percent in our plans,” Davis said. “He had some bad shoulders and he got them fixed and it’s a great thing, it’s a positive. He’s got some time in the system, so the reps, although they hurt, he’ll be fine when we’re ready to go and we’re excited about Dante.”
As a junior in 2016, Booker won the job at Will, but was lost almost immediately to injury. Last season, he won the job at Sam, but again eventually succumbed to injury.
Now will be his third attempt at winning a job and staying healthy. He has missed reps in both the fall and spring, but being around for five years now, he’s not exactly unsure of his assignments.
At a position without much of a veteran presence, Dante Booker has plenty to offer the entire linebacker position.
And he will get his first crack at making that happen on the outside.
“Dante will be an outside ‘backer,” Davis said. “He’ll come in and we’ll get through his getting back in off of his injuries. He’s missed a lot of reps and he’ll come in and he’ll scrap it out for an outside ‘backer spot. Could be the Sam, could be the Will.”

I had a background from a session a week ago so decided to use that as the base.
I stamped the Lavinia Stamps "Unicorn" in a Versafine Clair ink called "Purple Delight".
I then stamped the trees using Lavinia Stamps "Small Fairy Fir Tree" stamp using a Distress Oxide Ink in the shade of "Evergreen Bough".
I created the water and landscape area using Artza Brush Pens.
I decided that the image of the unicorn looked to solid, using a Uniball Signo Pen in a silver glitter, I coloured the unicorn to add a little extra magic.

Tilly was just hanging around, trying to get Mooch's attention!
I used a small Gel Plate/Brusho background I had in my stash as the base of this card. Using Distress Oxide ink through the Lavinia Stamps "Feather Leaf" stencil.
I stamped in various shades of Versafine Clair inks, using the following Lavinia Stamps: Mooch, Tilly and Tango, Fairy Charms, Foliage Set, Woodland Ferns and Fern Branch.
I added extra shading and colour using Van Goch Pastel Pencils, Gelly Roll and Posca Pens.

Autumn has arrived, and so have allergies. I’ve not been able to breathe through my nose for days.
In the afternoon, after loading a dozen articles in the work CMS, I took a walk around the block. No jacket, and it felt almost too cool for that.
After work, I took my rent check over to the office and stopped at the grocery store for milk.
It’s going to be a pleasant few days ahead of us.

As soon as I got the pig home, I had to try it. Here’s a quick card that I made using a CuttleKid die. Layered on a green card, I used Brenda Walton design paper and a strip of Nana’s Kids backed on Pink Bazzill paper. Layered on a sentiment panel of green backed by pink and spelled out the sentiment with my clear CTMH Doodle Alpha.
Have you seen them in the stores? They are so cute and I haven’t found much information on them so I decided to buy some and try them. CuttleKids dies are sized the same as Cuttlebug dies – roughly 2 x 2. The housing for these dies differ from Cuttlebug dies; the casing is not quite as sturdy, but ultimately they work the same and produce virtually the same results. The die is made from sharp metal and then encased on one side with foam and on the other side with cardstock. I think they are a bargain hunters dream because they are priced so cheaply in light of their basic materials, and there are so many designs. Admittedly the designs are for kids but I find them quite whimsical. I purchased a set of alphabets, but the little animals will probably all be coming home with me.
Stamps: Doodle Alpha – CTMH
Paper: Bazzill, Nana’s Kids, Brenda Walton – Small Wonders Girl

I created dozens of images for the two bibles which can be accessed on Google Drive at the following link:
The two bibles were recently purchased at an estate sale as follows:
Friday/Saturday, March 16/17, 2018, 9am to 3pm
2622 Orleans Dr, Seabrook, Texas 77586
Lake Cove Harbour Subdivision located near TX-146 & Repsdorph Rd
According to the Harris County Texas Appraisal District the 2018 owner of record for this address is:
2622 ORLEANS DR
SEABROOK TX 77586-3379
Julia is or was a widow whose maiden name was Chatterton. She is the daughter of Harley Herschel Chatterton and Laura Helen Park. Harley was the son of Hiram Lincoln Chatterton and Amanda May Harmon. Amanda's sister, married a man named John Lawrence Baum. They appear to have had no heirs. The Baum Family Bible contains family record data and photographs for an Ohio family who were the ancestors of John Lawrence Baum. I will provide more details on the Baum family in a future blog post.
Here are further details on the Chatterton bible:
IMG_2246 and 2247 show the cover of the Chatterton family bible. The spine is embossed with the initials H.L. Chatterton so it is most likely that Hiram was the Mr. Chatterton that had the bible rebound. The front cover says Old Family Bible. The Bible was published by G. & C. Merriam in 1846.
The Bible measures about 8.5 x 11 x 3 inches and weighs 6 pounds and 3 ounces.
|The Chatterton family Bible was rebound by Hiram Lincoln Chatterton |
before he died in Peterson, Iowa in 1937. His name is on the spine of the book.
Images were created for the most interesting pages in the bibles starting with IMG_2187 to IMG_2304. All of the images can be viewed at the following link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1u26iToat5BnvqvhCuI7TbYyWBvIdq8Mm
|The Chatterton Bible was published by G. & C. Merriam in 1846.|
|The Chatterton Family resided in New York before migrating to Jones County, Iowa before 1870.|
IMG_2248 of the Chatterton Bible was found inside the cover page with the following inscription:
Property of Wm. H.H. Chatterton; This bible was left at the Wm. H.H. Chatterton home many years ago by a stranger traveling on foot until he should call for it but the stranger never returned. In due time Mr. Chatterton had the book rebound. This was written by Mrs. H.L. Chatterton [Amanda May Harmon], April 15, 1940.
Hiram L. Chatterton died 1937 in Peterson, Clay County, Iowa and Mrs. Chatterton died in 1943 also in Peterson. They were married in O'Brien County, Iowa in 1896. The father of Hiram was Wm. H.H. Chatterton and he migrated from New York to Jones County, Iowa before 1870.
|Hiram L. Chatterton Family Record which appears to be in the handwriting of Mrs. H.L. Chatterton (Amanda May Harmon).|
|Jennie Josephine Chatterton was married to James Neel Cook on September 5, 1922. |
The Patriot newspaper was published in Peterson, Iowa
H.L. Chatterton at age 15, wrote a series of family records for the Humphrey family in 1876 which were placed inside of the bible. Several other family records were also inserted in the bible. None of the pre-printed family record pages had any entries. It appears that the bible was used as the place to archive all of the loose family record pages.
Hilah Edsall Smith (1823-1888) was the mother of Hiram Lincoln Chatterton. Hilah was first married to Joseph Humphrey, Jr. 1814-1849 and they had two daughters, Alice P. Humphrey born 1846 and Josephine Smith Humphrey born 1849. The widowed mother, Hilah E. Smith Humphrey married W.H.H. Chatterton on 9 Sep 1854 in Addison, Vermont. Hiram Chatterton invested considerable effort into recording the family records of the Humphrey family. Most of the family records feature persons that were related to Hilah Edsall Smith.
|Ashbel Humphrey Family Record.|
SURNAMES: Chatterton, Brown, Richards, Humphrey, Harmon, Cook, Powell, Smith, Allen, Johnson, Leach, Locklin, Taylor, Rawson, King, Byrns, Finegan, Grogan, Goodman, Lombard, Laplant, Pierce, Thornton, Shaw, Welch, Wilson, Hodgeman, and Foote.
In the family tree I created entitled Chatterton and Baum Family Bibles, I attached the images to galleries for the persons. I included more details about the images in the galleries in this family tree. It is a public tree so feel free to attach the images to your tree, if they relate to your family.
The Chatterton family bible has been donated to an archive in Iowa. If you are interested in seeing the Chatterton Family Bible, in person please contact the Clay County Heritage Center as follows:

The recipe that follows is about the sixth version of this tart. The first one had too much butter in the pastry so it leaked out all over the place; the second had a filling which was too light so that puffed up and then cracked when it cooled.
A third try didn't have enough frangipane. I was on the way to the right crust and the right filling, but the raspberry flavor didn't "pop".
The solution was to add a thin layer of raspberry jam on the crust before adding the frangipane filling. Finally, just what I was looking for.
Of course, you can vary the fruit - blueberries work well as do fresh or canned apricot halves. Just be sure to drain and dry canned apricots really well.
Be sure to follow the instructions to press the pastry slight over the top of your tart pan so that it doesn't shrink down the side of the pan.
Any problems, just contact me. ([email protected])
Raspberry Frangipane TartSweet Pastry1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour1 ½ tablespoons sugar¼ teaspoon salt6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits1 large egg yolk½ teaspoon vanilla½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice2 tablespoons cold waterRaspberry Almond1 cup ground almond meal½ cup granulated sugar2 eggs6 tablespoons butter, softened1 teaspoon almond extract1 tablespoon all-purpose flour¼ cup raspberry jam6 oz. fresh raspberries, washed and dried⅓ cup sliced almonds, more or less to your preferenceFirst, make the pastry. Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor.. Add butter and pulse until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Beat together yolk, vanilla, lemon juice, and water with a fork and pulse until combined.
Turn out onto a sheet of waxed paper or work surface and gently knead until a dough forms. Form dough into a ball, then flatten into a disk and chill, wrapped in waxed paper, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
Take the pastry out of the fridge. Roll out the dough between two sheets of waxed paper until it is about 11 inches in diameter. Line a 9-inch tart tin with the pastry, making sure the edges are higher than the tart tin, as the pastry shrinks while baking. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Place a sheet pan or cookie sheet in the oven and preheat to 375 degrees.
Prick the bottom of the pastry lightly with a fork, line the tart with lightly buttered foil and fill with pie weights (dried beans/rice). Blind bake the tart shell for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and the foil and bake for 5 minutes, until the pastry is cooked but still very pale. Let it cool completely.
For the almond cream, add all ingredients to food processor and process until well combined. Coat the bottom of the cooled tart with the raspberry jam and top with the almond cream, smoothing it out with a small offset spatula. Arrange the raspberries over the top of the almond cream. There is no need to push them down as the almond cream will rise while baking and the raspberries will sink in a little bit. Scatter the sliced almonds over the raspberries.
Watch the video:Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Bake the tart for 35 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Dust with icing sugar just before serving if you wish.

The Deity of Christ
For one who is in possession of the New Testament, it scarcely needs to quote a text to prove the deity of Christ.
It is only will that can fail to find it there; though it would be
another thing entirely to say that there are no difficulties in the comprehension
of it. Of course there are difficulties. That a babe born in
Mystery it surely is, but no less clear that the fact is affirmed, and affirmed of One to whom from the beginning, as the “Seed of the woman,” the generations of men looked forward,—to whom, since He came, the generations have looked back; and He the unique Man in human history! The marvelous explanation suits well the marvel of fact, while it concentrates every faculty of the soul upon it. He who made the world, from whom it had slipped away, has entered it again, in strange guise indeed, but so as to show the most tender interest in it. When we know Who it is, the self-abasement, the child-speech of the Eternal, learning the conditions of creature-hood, but so far removed from paradise: what a revelation is in this obscurity He has assumed!
Himself has come after us! who, after all, so likely as He? Shall we measure Him by the height of His throne—and then He is far from us indeed; or by the depths of a divine nature, which has planted even in man (capable of being seen in him still, spite of his ruin) the capacity of a self-sacrificing love, which can only be the dim reflection of his Maker?
Can it be another than He - a creature - to whom He has left it to win our hearts away from Himself by the glory of so great a work achieved for us? No, impossible! And when we realize this work, not as provincial merely, as done for a mere corner of creation, but as under the eyes of angelic principalities and powers, “that He might show in the ages to come, the exceeding riches of His grace, in His kindness to us,” — how impossible for it to be any other than Himself who should do this! — for it to be no manifestation of God at all, but of some creature merely; God, in His central glory of being, yet unknown!
“All things were created by Him and for Him” (Col. 1:6) is said of Christ; and such sayings are almost more positive affirmations of His Godhead than the most direct statements could be. How impossible to imagine a mere creature centre for the universe to revolve about! or even an inferior God! Go back to the account of creation, and how naturally it reads now of Him who is God and with God, as the gospel of John declares Him, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness.” Or again, look forward in thought to where we are carried in that prophecy of Isaiah with which we began, by that title of His, not “the everlasting Father,” as the text of the common version has it, but as the Hebrew and the margin of the Revised, “the Father of eternity:” the One who having made all things at the beginning, shall give them at the last their final shape.
Thus we realize that at the Centre of the universe there is not merely a Power that controls and holds it together—which is again true of Him “in whom all things consist” (Col. 1:17),—but a Heart: perfectly told out as the moral Power which is manifested now as the “Beloved” of “Love” Itself. Here in the Incarnation and Atonement it is told out to us. There could be no other. It is no satellite which has become a sun, but the diffusive Sun itself,—yea, the Sun of all suns.
Think of One who could say of Himself that He was the “Light of the world,”—excluding all other! Light—self-witnessing, as light is: so that rejection of it could only be on the part of men who “loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” And this light was not merely that of His sayings, a message that He brought, a revelation which was committed to Him, though there was that also: but He was Himself the Light, as He says, in the exactest possible way defining this,—“As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world” (Jno. 9:5).
His sayings would, indeed, live after He was gone; the revelation He made remain for other days. None the less, it would be night for the world when He was gone out of it. Nothing could replace the Sun. Of course, there are little “lights” enough—torch-lights, bon-fires, here and there a calcium light: but no one of these could be confounded with the sun. Even the moon shines by its light, and nature itself bears witness which we do well to listen to, that the light of the world must be a light outside the world; nothing bred of it is competent for its illumination.
“God is light:” and here is One who claims to be in the world so absolutely that, that if a disciple express still a desire to have the Father shown to him, He can rebuke him with “Have I been so long time with you, and hast thou not known Me, Philip? he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?” (Jno. 14:9).
Nothing could be more absolute in statement that as to God Himself, morally, there was none else to see,—there was no one back of Him, who was “the brightness”—or, as in the Revised Version, “the effulgence of (the Father’s) glory, the exact image of His Person” (Heb. 1:3), “the Image of the invisible God” (Col. 1:15).
He is thus the Revealer, or (according to the title which John alone gives to Him,) the “Word of God.” The opening of his gospel, which is that in which the divine glory of Christ is the peculiar theme, presents Him in this character. “In the beginning”—when anything that had beginning began,—the Word (not began, but) was. Revelation began with creation: the work must necessarily in some sort bear witness of the Worker; but this is not enough to say here; for the Personal Word, there at the very beginning of creation, speaks of design on God’s part that He should be known. He must intend, therefore, to have those to whom He can speak; and the Word of God is thus the Creator: “By Him were all things made; and without Him was not anything made that was made.” Creation is, in scarcely a figure, the actual speech of the Word of God.
“The Word was with God”—a distinct Person; “and the Word was God”—a divine Person; and “the same was in the beginning with God”—always personally distinct, as always in communion with the Father.
It is too little remembered—to some seems to be unknown—that the Word was the Creator. The so-called Apostles’ Creed ascribes creation solely to the Father. Scripture says of the Father, “of whom are all things,” and of the Lord Jesus Christ “by whom” (1 Cor. 8:6). Paul in Colossians, as already quoted, declares of Christ that “all things were created by Him and for Him” (1:16). John may enable us to understand better this last expression. As the Word, the Revealer, we can see that He has special relation to what He has made; so that when we find that it is He, the “Word,” who is “become flesh,” this coming into His own creation, with all the wonder of it, has a divine suitability; and we, “created for Him,” are thus to have the whole heart of God declared to us, and to be brought nigh in accordance with the eternal counsels of love, in which all the Persons of the Godhead have their part.
We pass on to John’s epistle, and we find Him there before us as the “Word of life,” where the same idea of revelation attaches to it: “for the Life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested unto us.” This is thoroughly in keeping with the character of the epistle, but we have not yet reached to this.
And once again, in the book of Revelation, Christ is presented to us as the Word of God, where He is still manifesting God as ever, but in judgment. Here as Rider upon the white horse, the sword of judgment proceeds out of His mouth.
For us how blessed to realize in this title of the Son of God, the divine purpose, from eternity, of revelation, and that we were given of the Father to the Son, from the beginning of creation according to this purpose—“created for Him.” The Lord’s words in His prayer to the Father for those given to Him out of the world, though seeming to have a narrower scope, only show us the same purpose in progress, now defining itself in view of human sin and its fatal consequences. To those given to Him He manifests the Father’s name, and communicates the Father’s words. One who had his place with them had dropped out; but he was a “son of perdition.”
There is no need to entangle ourselves with the questions that arose early in the Church with regard to the doctrine of the Word or Logos. Scripture is transparently clear with regard to it; and upon such subjects not a ray of light is to be got elsewhere.
Being, then, such as we see, we do not wonder that He claims to be the self-existent One, as in His words to the Jews: “Before Abraham was I am” (Jno. 8:58). This is the incommunicable name of Deity, by which He revealed Himself to Moses and to Israel: “I am hath sent me to you” (Exod. 3:14). Being always the Word, the Revealer, this older voice was, of course, His own. He is thus the Abiding, the Unchangeable, the Eternal. Jehovah is but the synonym of this; and so the glory of Jehovah, which Isaiah saw in his day, is declared to be His glory: “these things said Esaias when he saw His glory, and spake of Him” (Jno. 12:40, 41 with Isa. 6:9, 10). The Old Testament thus, as well as the New, is full of His Presence; only that now He has taken that tabernacle of flesh to display His glory in, in which all His purpose to be near us, all His delights with the sons of men, have fully come out. He is now truly Immanuel, “God with us;” and the blessedness of that for us will fill eternity.
That He should claim equal honor with the Father Himself is in this way clearly intelligible, as it of itself also declares fully who He is: “that all men should honor the Son even as they honor the Father” (Jno. 5:23) is the most emphatic assertion of equality; which Thomas “my Lord and my God” (20:28) yields Him, with full recognition on his part of the truth of his too tardy faith.

Reasons to emigrate from Switzerland to America in the 19th century
In April 1815 volcano Mount Tambora in Indonesia erupted, destroying all vegetation on the island Sumbawa and bringing destruction to the nearby islands. More than 100’000 people died. Moreover, the effects were felt around the globe, 1816 was known as the “year without summer” in Europe and North America. The ensuing famine and impoverishment of parts of the Swiss population led to a wave of emigration.
Between 1840 and 1850, the crop failure caused by potato blight caused a food crisis in Europe. Without access to other food, many people starved to death. This crisis was particularly devastating for Ireland. But the rest of Europe also suffered.
The economic downturn caused by the Crimean War brought new misery to the communities. Although soup kitchens offered one meal a day for the needy, there were simply too many poor families. Overpopulation and massive poverty left the impoverished people with no hope for a better life here. Those responsible in the communities found the solution to the enormous problems in the emigration of the poor. The communities provided funds for the long and arduous journey to North America. This is how poor people were encouraged or even forced to emigrate.
Finding your immigrant ancestors
With improved family registers we have a good understanding of emigration in the 19th century. In the following example of Johannes Amsler, born in 1829, we find a note “emigrated to America in summer 1872”.
Johannes Amsler, alt Trüllmeisters Sohn (born) 14. August 1796
von Bözen wohnhaft in Scherz siehe Pag. 58
Cop. d. 30. November 1827 mit
Elisabeth Rey von Scherz, (born) 30. Sept 1804 – gestorben 1833
Johannes nach Amerika ausgewandert im Sommer 1872 (geboren) 1. Oktober 1829
The US Passenger and Crew Lists for this year show his arrival on Ellis Island on September 27th 1872 from Le Havre, France. Most Swiss left from this port and this explains why he was mistakenly considered to be French. It often happened that immigrants were assigned the wrong nationality when they immigrated.
It is therefore possible to discover Johannes Amsler’s descendants in the USA with the help of local census records and other publicly available data of the USA. It is also possible to track down the Swiss roots of the immigrants, as long as their places and dates of birth are known.

In September 2000, at the United Nations Millennium Summit, world Leaders from 189 countries agreed to a set of time-bound and measurable goals and targets encapsulated under a Millennium Declaration. The goals were geared towards addressing issues of poverty, gender equality, education, health as well as the environment.Over the years the Government of Botswana, with the support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), produced the MDGs progress reports, culminating with the current 2015 report. Globally the MDGs have been succeeded by wider and broader goals - the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To this end the MDG Botswana 2015 report serves as a baseline for the next development goals (SDG) reports of Botswana.
The breakfast launch will also highlight the key findings and policy recommendations of the 2015 Global Human Development report that focuses on the theme “Work for Human Development.” The HDR calls for equitable and decent work for all.In doing so, it encourages governments to look beyond jobs to consider the many kinds of work, such as unpaid care, voluntary, or creative work that are important for human development. The report suggests that only by taking such a broad view can the benefits of work be truly harnessed for sustainable development.The launch will be accompanied by an expert panel discussion on policy recommendations of the Global HDR report and related recent global development agreements including – the SDGs, the third Finance for Development (FFD3), and the twenty first agreement of parties on climate change (COP21).The emphasis of the panel discussion will be on how these global agreements relate to Botswana National development plans, strategies and programs.

So my last post on how to use the Nintendo Wii controller with the Raspberry Pi was popular. Thus, i’ve been working on the next stage of the project which includes connecting my Digilent Cerebot II Atmega64L micro-controller to the Raspberry Pi. This required that I get the SPI connection working between the Pi and the micro-controller and get the Wii remote to control everything. I constructed this raspberry pi robot using a set of Python and C programming with modules I either created or borrowed.
- Getting Wii Controller working with Raspberry Pi
- Getting Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) working on the Raspberry Pi
- Python over SPI channel
- Installing Debian (linux) on the Pi
My current hardware setup looks like this:
- Raspberry Pi
- Digilent Cerebot II (Atmega64 Microcontroller)
- 2x H-bridges (Digilent)
- 2x 6 Volt DC Motors (PWM controlled)
- USB to Bluetooth – this one SABRENT at Fry’s is what I used
- Nintendo Wii Controller
- 8x 2AA batteries (6V for the Micro, 6V for the Pi)
This picture describes the basic setup of my remote control robot.
Getting Started (Python + Bluetooth):
So in this post i’m going to go over the different parts that build up my robot project. The first one is the Raspberry Pi and Bluetooth module. As I’ve used in my previous Wii Controller + Python + Raspberry Pi = Amazing! blog I used the Cwiid python module that enables my to connect to a USB Bluetooth dongle I put in my Raspberry Pi. You’ll need to install Cwiid for python on the Pi.
sudo apt-get install python-cwiid
Once this is done you’ll have to start your program with some python code that connects to the controller. So in your Python code make sure you include the library and then cwiid.Wiimote() connects to the Nintendo Wii remote.
wm = cwiid.Wiimote()
After this you’ll want to enable button data reporting.
wm.rpt_mode = cwiid.RPT_BTN
All the buttons on the wii remote have values that can be queried. The best part is they add, so if you’re pressing multiple buttons such as left + gas, which are values of 2048 + 1 = 2049. Something like this
wm.state[‘buttons’] == 2049
Getting Started (Python + SPI):
The next phase of this project was getting the Serial Peripheral interface (SPI) working with the hardware. As with many parts of my blog this one can take a lot longer as I had to write code in C and make a module that can be called in Python. Please check out my previous post on Python Controlling SPI Bus on the Raspberry Pi and Beagleboard XM for getting Python working. You have to make sure you have SPI enabled in the hardware and from there you can check it by going to the /dev directory. I have another blog Getting SPI working on the Raspberry Pi that helps with getting this setup.
Once your hardware is showing up you can use the SPI.so module I created and call it in Python using something similar to this. For the record my SPI command is in this format, no real reason, just an arbitrary one I chose for hex values.
spidata = [‘FFDDLLRR00’]
Where the DD is representing the direction of the robot, LL is the left wheel speed and RR is the right wheel speed.
spilist =
#combine the string
combine = str(‘FF’)+ direction +str(rws)+str(‘0’)+str(lws)+str(‘0′)+str(’00’)
spilist.append(combine) # append the string of combined direction and wheelspeeds
length_data = len(spilist)/2 + 1
There is a lot more detail here that i’m not going to go into, but all the logic to my code, directions, logic behind what buttons are pushed and such are written in Python and located in file name “robot_version0.x.py” where x is the version number. All my code revisions will be found in the following folder location. Feel free to check back over time for newer versions.
One of the many important things to know about SPI is how it works. Understanding it has a data line in and out, a clock and a slave select. All data from the master controller goes to all the slaves, but the master just tells which slave to listen. SPI was originally created by Motorola many years ago and is still very popular in computer communication.
Getting Started (SPI + PWM + Atmega64):
So the last part of this project deals with setting up the Digilent Inc board that is a Cerebot II miro-controller. I’m using AVR studio 4.0 and first started by setting up the mico-controller as a SPI slave so it will take in the clock and Slave Select (SS) from the Raspberry Pi.
Once the SPI signal was setup and tested I configured the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signals that would talk to the H-Bridges and help higher voltages go to the DC motors. There are registers that control the speed and the direction. So I have the SPI data read in and then it configures what the speed for each wheel is and set the direction. These values change the speed and feed back the data to the Python code saying what was read in, small form of error checking. Check the code folder for “WiiRobotProject” as this is my code for AVR code. Still a work in progress so there are tons of comments and things I was trying. it will look cleaner in my final code release.
There are a bunch of features I would love to still get out of this Cerebot II board, such as the motor feedback, maybe add some SERVOs to control a camera (phase 3)? Time will only tell if i get around to it.
FINAL NOTE (CODE):
Like posted earlier if you would like to check out my code or get some ideas from what I’m doing please check the link below for my source code. Comments. suggestions, and questions are always welcome. Please check out previous tutorials i’ve written to help with the small details.
Until next time, peace!
- Battery operated
- wireless putty connection for controll
- Wii Nunchuck support for camera/laser
- Servo control – camera/ front wheels
- Hash checking of SPI data

For some time, I’ve toyed with the idea of starting a YouTube channel. There are a lot of great ones out there, but nothing that really seemed to touch on the things I was passionate about sharing with the world.
There were some great strength training channels, some great conditioning channels, some great fighting channels, and some great firearms channels, but nothing that really hit all the turf I wanted to see hit.
So, I made my own. Continue reading “Now On YouTube!”

Child Nutrition Program Integrity-A Proposed Rule by the Food and Nutrition Service Comment Due May 31, 2016
Time to use your VOICE. It Matters.
This rule proposes to codify several provisions of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 affecting the integrity of the Child Nutrition Programs, including the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), the Special Milk Program for Children, the School Breakfast Program, the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and State Administrative Expense Funds. The Department is proposing to establish criteria for assessments against State agencies and program operators who jeopardize the integrity of any Child Nutrition Program; establish procedures for termination and disqualification of entities in the SFSP; modify State agency site review requirements in the CACFP; establish State liability for reimbursements incurred as a result of a State's failure to conduct timely hearings in the CACFP; establish criteria for increased State audit funding for CACFP; establish procedures to prohibit the participation of entities or individuals terminated from any of the Child Nutrition Programs; establish serious deficiency and termination procedures for unaffiliated sponsored centers in the CACFP; eliminate cost-reimbursement food service management company contracts in the NSLP; and establish procurement training requirements for State agency and school food authority staff in the NSLP. In addition, this rulemaking would make several operational changes to improve oversight of an institution's financial management and would also include several technical corrections to the regulations. The proposed rule is intended to improve the integrity of all Child Nutrition Programs.
There are two ways to submit comments:

2. Mail: Comments should be addressed to Andrea Farmer, Chief, School Meal Programs Branch, Policy and Program Development Division, Child Nutrition Programs, Food and Nutrition Service, Department of Agriculture, 3101 Park Center Drive, Alexandria, Virginia 22302–1594.
The following comment letter was drafted by a team led by the Geri Henchy, Food and Research Action Center
Andrea Farmer, USDA
Dear Ms. Farmer:
Thank you for this opportunity to provide comments on the proposed Child Nutrition Program Integrity rule. Maintaining integrity is best served by a balanced effective approach that employs mechanisms to preserve integrity and access to the programs. To ensure the continued success of the programs, I offer the following recommendations.
The serious deficiency process needs to be thoroughly evaluated and reformed prior to expanding it to SFSP and unaffiliated sponsored centers.
Thank you for your consideration of these comments.

The Canadian Ki Federation is affiliated to the Ki Federation of Great Britain.
The current representative to the KFGB is Sensei Wayne Nagata. Our eleven teachers run clubs throughout BC and Ontario for all levels, beginner to advanced.
Gradings can be completed in Canada up to 1st Dan (black belt); higher Dan gradings must be completed at Ki Federation Headquarters in Mark, Somerset, England. Additional classes, seminars, and summer school may also be attended at Headquarters, and members of the CKF visit Headquarters and other clubs in England usually once a year. Internationally, our members may also practice with affiliated federations in France, Russia, the Netherlands, and Australia.
While we follow basic traditional etiquette and require respect and awareness from our members, we are also a very inclusive group of friendly people from a very wide range of backgrounds. Our shared practice of Ki Aikido harbours a local and international community of like-minded individuals, who enjoy the efficacy of the Art of Peace in daily life, in relationships, and in our inner selves.

Stories from a Real-Life Treasure Hunter
CHM collections intern Catrien Egbert recaps her work cataloging the Museum’s massive Decorative and Industrial Arts collection and highlights some memorable finds.
If you’re like me, you’ve always wondered what treasures a museum’s collection might hold.
Last summer, I had the opportunity to find out as the collections team continued its endeavor to catalog the Decorative and Industrial Arts (DIA) collection on the Chicago History Museum’s fourth floor. In my head, the name evoked oil paintings, ornate mirrors, and porcelain vases. As work began, I realized this vision covered only a few of the approximately 100,000 artifacts in this 150-year-old collection, which itself is just a fraction of the nearly 23 million items in the Museum’s overall collection. I could not have predicted the artifacts we would discover.
As Egbert (above) calls out the dimensions of a spice shaker, her fellow intern Amy Sparks (below) verifies the data in our records. Photograph by CHM staff
The inventory process involves pulling objects from their storage space, then measuring and photographing them. It also requires recording an object’s location, visual description, and accession number, which is a unique code the Museum assigns to an artifact when it enters the collection. This feature is the key to research and one of the first things we look for during inventory. I quickly learned that a good treasure hunter has to have patience. On our first day of inventory, we came across a set of engraving tools owned by Olaf Thorsson, a Swedish immigrant who used them in the late 1800s. Though they were similar, each tool varied in length and description. On the fourth floor, we photographed, measured, and described each tool. Then in the collections office, we relabeled each one using archival paper and acrylic resin. In total, we did this for more than seventy tools.
Egbert carefully applies a new label to an engraving tool.
Because an accession number gives no clue about the object’s history or purpose, treasure hunters should be curious. Each artifact brought endless questions: Who originally owned this? Why was it donated? When is it from? What even is this? One of my favorite examples of this was a hooked tool we guessed could be an old-fashioned corkscrew. Imagine our surprise when research revealed it was a tooth extractor from the late 1880s!
This rudimentary dental tool consists of a curved metal hook attached to a wooden handle.
Research is an essential part of the inventory process, and it was gratifying to find answers to our questions about CHM’s records. After each visit to the fourth floor, we updated the information in The Museum System (TMS), our collections database, and conducted research to verify that our “discoveries” were correct. A treasure hunter should enjoy the best feeling in the world—satisfaction when an object’s records verify information recorded during inventory.
In total, we inventoried more than 400 artifacts. Among the gems discussed above, we found bookmarks from the 1933–34 world’s fair, roller skates from the 1980s, and food from the 1960s that was meant to be kept in fallout shelters in case of a nuclear disaster. Sometimes fantastic, sometimes perplexing, the stories behind artifacts make collections work an engaging way to understand the past. I can’t wait to hear what next year’s treasure hunters uncover!

|The Sweeter Side of R. Crumb cover image is courtesy of barnesandnoble.com.|
Anyone familiar with the work of R. Crumb, the famed Underground Comix creator and artist, knows him for his controversial work. Perverse, crude, cruel, nasty, vile, racist, misogynist, and just plain negative are all apt descriptions for comix by Crumb, but comic books in America would be far worse off without the work of this genius. Lovers of the comics medium know that the blunt satirist and perverse social critic who gave us wickedly funny “When the Niggers Take Over America!” is the same incredible artist who gave us the amazing “A Short History of America.”
Perhaps R. Crumb, a publicist, and/or his publisher decided it was time to show readers a less controversial, more artistic side of Crumb. So W.W. Norton & Company is publishing The Sweeter Side of R. Crumb. This combination art book, portfolio, and sketchbook offers an array of Crumb drawings that have nothing to do with the busty female revolutionaries, conniving funny animals, weird characters, and horny everyman’s that populate Crumb’s comic book and comix work. Also, the art here is in glorious black and white, the better to show off Crumb’s precision cross hatching and sumptuous, textured ink work.
The Sweeter Side of R. Crumb presents intimate portraits of Crumb’s family and friends as well as drawings of roots music figures – some obscure (Charlie Poole) and some fairly well known (B.B. King). This book offers marvelous landscapes from the French countryside and lovely still life drawings, and even eye-popping depictions of French alleyways and buildings. Many of these drawings may simply be work that Crumb did while quietly observing people or interior and exteriors scenes. There are even a few comic strip vignettes starring Robert and his daughter Sophie as a small child.
I look at The Sweeter Side of R. Crumb as a publication Norton is going to use to pad their R. Crumb catalog. Or maybe people who only know the controversial R. Crumb need a book like this. Even Crumb seems to suggest as much in his introduction to this book, an introduction that only seems partly tongue-in-cheek. As far as I’m concerned, I’m up for anything that will get more people to see R. Crumb’s comix and illustrations. If it means The Sweeter Side of R. Crumb, then, let’s have more.

|Hasmalim II class Spinal Mount|
|Used by Church of Creation in CYOE2|
|Sensor Disruption Picket|
|Mobile Production Base|
|Mobile Research Ship|
While the first Hasmalim was not much more than an upgraded Elohim, the Hasmalim II is an altogether different ship. Using the same hull, and the new Special Heavy Meson Projector, this new Destroyer class ship is a death sentence to those that doubt its size. It's agility for a capital ship makes it particularly deadly, as it can out-maneuver most capital ships and keep that single deadly beam on target for far more time.

On 3-4 February 2018 I attended the 20 Books London event. I first heard about it from the 20Booksto50k Facebook group. I couldn’t make it to last November’s event in Las Vegas, so I made an effort to be there for the event in London. It was pitched as a “20Booksto50k educational and networking event for committed authors to take their career to the next level”.
The venue for the event was the Runnymede-on-Thames hotel which was a beautiful place. The entire staff were friendly and professional, and the restaurants served good food. The room I booked was spacious and clean. I loved it and definitely would return for a longer stay. It’s such a tranquil place. I wish I had more time to visit the places around the area.
It’s around 40 minutes away from Oxford Street by car. The local ducks greeted me upon arrival.
Saturday morning, I checked in. I got a badge to write my name on and a custom pen and notebook, along with information packet.
Day 1 – Saturday program:
As this was the first writers’ event I had ever attended, I wasn’t sure what to expect. For the record, I felt awkward and wasn’t sure how to talk to people. I was in major introvert mode but managed to work up the nerve to talk to people. Special thanks to people like David, Wendy, Tameri and David for helping me get out of my shell. I appreciated the kindness.
I found the talks motivational and inspirational. Craig Martelle‘s introduction was fantastic. It set the tone for what to expect from the event.
Michael Anderle is the person that set this whole 20Booksto50k in motion with a Kboards post you can read here. Many of the speakers mentioned how they had followed Michael from that post into the Facebook group. Michael’s talk was amazing. And he made me aware of one thing I never noticed – the reason why I reread books. It’s the emotion, dummy. I don’t know how I never realized that. It was a lightbulb moment for this bookworm.
Andrew Dobell touched on different aspects for covers. He designed an awesome Izzy Shows cover so I was already familiar with his work.
Derek Murphy highlighted the importance of list building. Everybody’s path is different but I agree with his outlook on list building.
Faleena Hopkins discussion about fighting demons was emotional. We need to cut out the demons from our lives, people who bring us down and make us less.
Day 2 – Sunday
Martha Carr‘s world building talk was great. Lots of great tips and she also shared a very emotional story at the end of the day that brought me to tears.
Abby-Lynn Knorr presented about her journey of writing in Italy and reaching 4 figures in 40 days. I love hearing about how people reach success. I find it motivational. What she managed to do is fantastic.
Dan Wood from Draft2Digitial and Ricardo Fayet from Reedsy were interesting in their arguments for going wide. I currently have all my books in KU but I’m going to experiment with going wide in April.
Jonathan Brazee gave a good talk about professional organizations and the merit on why to join one and be part of the community. NETWORK!
Barry Hutchison by far was my favorite speaker (sorry, everyone). He was hilarious and brought the house down.
One of my favorite parts was when all the speakers stood and answered questions from the audience. David asked if each of them could do one thing, and one thing only, to promote their book what would it be? He also requested that they not repeat the answer of the previous speaker.
Speakers were inspirational and generous with their time. I really enjoyed the entire program and thought it was a great way to start 2018. I’m eight months into my writing journey so this was a wonderful and motivational event to attend. Persistence is key! Network! And above all, write a good book!
Here’s a shot of the speakers answering questions at the end of the event.
The event cost me ₤165 + hotel room + transportation. The organizers are such stand up guys that we were refunded ₤53 because expenses were less than they thought. Just goes to show that they’re awesome.
I’m happy I attended the 20 Books London event and left wanting to attend Las Vegas. I’m sure I’ll have more confidence there. Thanks to Tameri Etherton & husband David, Wendy. Thanks to May Sage who was generous with her advice (also I managed to pronounce her real name correctly! I thought I would and I was right!) and it was cool meeting Timothy Ellis in person. I also bonded with Ana Calin as I was waiting for my car to arrive which was a great bonus. I made lots of new friends. I wish I had been more outgoing but I know I did the best I could and I will definitely be more comfortable (and hopefully more outgoing) at the next event.

This weekend I’m at ContraKC, an adult relax-a-con in Kansas City! I’m delighted to be back at Contra, which is the first convention that honored me as GOH several years ago and the people here have welcomed me as part of their family.
I’m looking forward to good conversation, good booze and BBQ second only to Memphis (sorry, KC, my heart belongs to the Bluff City).
And this will wrap up the Fall Deathmarch, which started way back at Labor Day, spans six states and I don’t want to speculate on the mileage. After this I’m settling back home for a bit, plus or minus a hometown signing in December and a possible trip to Washington D.C. for a photo shoot and visit to the Newseum before it dies.
Thanks to everyone who came out to see me at my various stops, who supported and cheered and bought books and art – especially that latter part, since that’s how I make my living. Extra thanks to my fellow authors and minions, especially my husband and son, Sela Carsen, David Tyler, and anyone else who helped us schlep books all over the midwest.
Touring is a grueling life living out of a suitcase with boxes of books and booze perpetually living in my mudroom so it can be loaded into the car next weekend, but it also has an extraordinary benefit: the chance to meet and talk with so many people who enjoy my work. That is a true blessing, and I am thankful for it.

“An intriguing and dramatic episode.”―Library Journal
“Cliff-hanging suspense.”―Christian technology Monitor
Assault in Norway is the vintage account of a mythical raid at the Nazi battle application. by way of 1942 Germany had a likely insurmountable lead over the Allies in constructing an atomic bomb. Contributing to this case used to be its entry to an important aspect: “heavy water,” present in nice abundance at a fortresslike manufacturing unit in occupied Norway. Allied hopes of stalling the Nazi nuclear application quickly occupied with sabotaging the cliffside plant―a suicidal undertaking. yet a workforce of courageous Norwegian exiles, informed in Britain, infiltrated their place of birth and, hiding within the wilds, awaited the chance to release one of many war's such a lot bold commando raids.
Basing his gripping narrative largely on interviews with the commandos themselves, Thomas Gallagher recounts in shiny aspect the making plans and execution of Operation Gunnerside. Assault in Norway recollects the intrigue present in such wartime classics as David Howarth's We Die Alone and The Sledge Patrol, and the undertaking it recounts encouraged the 1965 Hollywood movie The Heroes of Telemark.

On September 10, 1996, The United countries basic meeting followed the Copmprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), prohibiting nuclear explosions around the world, in all environments. The treaty demands an international verification procedure, together with a community of 321 tracking stations disbursed worldwide, a knowledge communications community, a world information middle (IDC), and on-site inspections, to make sure compliance. This quantity offers sure contemporary examine effects pertaining on equipment used to strategy info recorded through tools of the overseas tracking method (IMS) and addressing recording infrasound signs generated by way of atmospheric explosions. Six papers treating facts processing supply a big choice of issues anticipated to give a contribution to enhancing our skill to effectively visual display unit a CTBT. 5 papers pertaining to infrasound contain descriptions of how within which that vital examine sector can give a contribution to CTBT tracking, the automated processing of infrasound information, and location stipulations that serve to enhance the standard of infrasound data.

We all know in regards to the stated restoration of a crashed alien spaceship close to Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947. in spite of the fact that, most folk are unaware that, on the time of the incident, Roswell military Airfield was once domestic to the world's in basic terms atomic bomber squadron, the 509th Bomb crew. used to be this basically a coincidence?
During the chilly conflict, the USA and the Soviet Union outfitted hundreds of thousands of the way more harmful hydrogen bombs, a few of them one thousand instances as strong because the first atomic bombs dropped on Japan. If the nuclear standoff among the superpowers had erupted into global warfare III, human civilization—and might be the very survival of our species—would were at risk.
Did this ominous scenario come to the eye of out of doors observers? was once there a connection among the atomic bomber squadron established at Roswell and the said crash of a alien ship close by? Did those that pilot the UFOs computer screen the superpowers' nuclear fingers race through the harmful chilly warfare period? Do they scrutinize American and Russian nuclear guns websites even now?
UFOs and Nukes presents the startling and occasionally surprising solutions to those questions. Veteran researcher Robert Hastings has investigated nuclear weapons-related flying saucers incidents for greater than 3 many years and has interviewed hundreds and hundreds of U.S. Air strength group of workers, from airmen to colonels, who witnessed impressive unidentified flying object encounters at nuclear guns websites. Their impressive tales are offered right here.

I recently wrote an article for the fantastic non-profit organization LiveWell Colorado. If you are not familiar with them, take a look:
The article I contributed was about making healthy choices easy. Here’s a bit of it:
We all know what we should do: eat more fruits and veggies; drink more water and less soda; move our bodies more and look at screens less. The challenge is putting this knowledge into action and making healthy choices each day.
So, how do we make the healthy choices the easy ones?
Give yourself a chance. If there is cake in my house I will eat it. All of it. I know it’s not healthy, but cake and I have a serious love affair going on. It’s not possible to say no if frosting is anywhere near me, so instead I keep it far away (except on special occasions, of course). We all have foods that call to us, so why keep them nearby? To give yourself the best chance of making healthy choices, minimize the unhealthy options in your pantry.

Founded in 1998 by prominent Armenian duduk player, teacher, and inventor Georgy Minasov (Minasyan), the Dudukner Ensemble has performed internationally ever since. An industrious inventor, Georgy Minasov has created a full family of duduks: soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, and bass with a vision to develop the duduk beyond its traditional range and sound. Taking advantage of the sound qualities of these newly invented instruments, The Dudukner Ensemble was founded that set a solid foundation for new Armenian duduk polyphony and previously unheard music.
Armenian color and a soulful genetic code are represented in duduk, a silent theater that fully highlights the Armenian man’s millennial history, his creative path.
The Dudukner Ensemble’s repertoire and accomplishments are remarkable. The ensemble recorded Komitas’ liturgy in its entirety and excerpts from Makar Ekmalyan’s liturgy for the first time ever. Composers Ruben Altunyan and Stepan Shakaryan created special pieces for the Dudukner quartet based on Komitas’ works and Armenian folklore. There was a great deal of love for the ensemble’s performances, not only in Armenia, but all over the world.
The Dudukner Ensemble has also performed internationally and scored award-winning films, including ‘Eternal Hour’ (a documentary about Narekatzy). They won first place at the 2005 Kiev International Film Festival ‘In the Open Air’ and won first place at the Golden Apricot Festival in Yerevan, Armenia. Their arrangements of three Komitas folk songs for the film, “Long Way Home”, starring Isabel Bayrakdarian, earned them high praise in addition to their scores for international films.
In the wake of Georgy Minasov’s death in 202, Georgi Minasyan Jr. took over the leadership of the Dudukner Quartet as its Artistic Director. As a tribute to the great legacy left by Georgy Minasov, The Quartet aims to bring back the music of Medieval Armenia, featuring multi-layered and multi-hued secular and spiritual melodies characteristic of Armenian culture.

In celebration of Black History Month, we asked contributors to Bigger Than Bravery: Black Resilience and Reclamation in a Time of Pandemic to recommend their favorite Black-owned bookstores. Shopping at an indie store means investing in intentional programming, including readings and discussion groups, and fostering community spaces. Read on to learn how you can support the missions of these stores, as well as the larger literary ecosystem. And don’t forget to show them some love by plucking your copy of Bigger Than Bravery—and our contributors’ books—from their shelves!
Rofhiwa Book Café
recommended by Alexis Pauline Gumbs and Jasmin Pittman Morell
Open just shy of two years, Rofhiwa Book Café in Durham is a thoughtfully designed space, combining stellar, locally sourced coffee with a carefully curated selection of books by Black writers. Rofhiwa’s founder, Boitumelo Makhubele, and curator, Naledi Yaziyo, say that they “value books as repositories for collective knowledge.”
But their gorgeous indoor space houses more than books and coffee; it’s a gathering place for community, from book launches to readings to art exhibits. Rofhiwa’s impact on its community can’t be overstated. In a commentary for Cardinal & Pine, Yaziyo wrote, “In the year that Rofhiwa Book Café has been in operation in East Durham, it has been my singular mission to expose Black children to books about Black children in other places and other parts of the world.”
Bonus! For a limited time, Lookout is partnering with Rofhiwa to offer readers a free “Black Resilience, Black Reclamation” enamel pin when you purchase Bigger Than Bravery from them—while supplies last.Continue Reading

To act against climate change we need to know as soon as we contribute to CO2 emissions in our homes. We are aware of the scope that is committed to the Kyoto Protocol as the most important international tool for the fight against climate change despite the fact that this Protocol is not working to the extent expected to stop the change. The task is definitely to continue sensitizing everyone, all organizations of presidential Government, local government and each family member, starting with the parents of the home, children, on the responsibilities of the warming of our planet. We want you friend reader, is the main protagonist. Source: Jorge Perez. The first person to avoid the formation of CO2. Further details can be found at Gavin Baker, an internet resource. Even there are economic incentives to achieve this.
For example, if in a year we stop consuming 2,612 Kwh of electrical energy, it is equivalent to leave produce 1.0 tons of CO2, one ton less of this gas to the environment. Now, for every ton of CO2 that we pollute the environment there is an incentive of 8 euros. It is great savings only by avoiding 2,612 kWh in a year-long, when in reality this can be hundreds of thousands of Kwh in an organization in a housing complex in a hotel from two stars, thousands of euros in favour and relief human because we would be cleaning up our only home: the Earth. Then what to do first, personally acquire the degree of commitment to one’s self. Interest and know the policy of offsetting carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. Human activity is one of the main causes of climate change. Each consumer a year emits nearly 10 tons of CO2 with such everyday activities as travel, turn on the light or heating, evil use of the refrigerator, bathing with excess water, brushing your teeth with water run, misuse of sophisticated equipment, dishwashers, misuse of papers, cars in poor condition, arrojo trash the environment, waste to riversboil water, the iron turned on, hot springs in bad state, finally a great list.

You at the moment don’t have any gadgets in your purchasing cart. Some mother and father may have already chosen suitable child lady names or baby boy names from an inventory that they’ve ready beforehand, or have a name in thoughts primarily based on the title of a particular relative, mother, father, grandparent, or perhaps a life long pal.

Yes, it's another Jeni/rude lizard graphics font.
This one is called Cassatta Zig, for reasons I will explain a moment.
First, let me say that this font is freeware, but it is NOT Public Domain. I drew the letters by hand on a moving vehicle, and it is by sheer luck that the drawings lasted long enough to get scanned. I own the copyright on this critter.
That said, let me get to the silly story of the name (if you don't wanna read this, don't)... When you see the font, the "Zig" part becomes pretty obvious.. but the Cassatta? Well.. there were these books I read.. by Jackie Cassada, and the titles were in this AMAZING font.. the books were pretty unremarkable (save for a chracter that I *really* disliked and wanted to see die, though knowing that chracter, she'd croak in some really sappy saccherine, "oh woe is me.. I die.. I die.. I give my life for my boon companions" kind of thing. Gack.), but I've been searching and searching for that font. I don't even have a name for it.
So I gave up. And created something inspired by that amazing font.
This is it.
I am not resposible if this file suddenly grows teeth and nibbles on your hard drive, RAM, ROM, whatever. Or causes your monitor to blow up. Or whatever it is that can happen. If it hasn't done it to my computer, I doubt it will do it to yours.
This file is © Copyright 1998 to me, jeni pleskow. It may be freeware, but it is NOT public domain. If you somehow figure a way to make money off it, I'd like a cut. (If I'm not getting rich off my work, why on earth should anyone else?)
Go ahead and put it on a CD, post it somewhere on the 'net, whatever. Just a) tell me about it
b) offer me a copy for free or at least seriously discounted (like at cost, maybe)
these fonts may or may not work. They work just fine on the puny Win 3.1 box I have. If they don't work, go download the Mac version, grab something that will let you unstuff 'em, and grab Refont. (There's a link somewhere on my page. really.)

CREATION OF REALITY
On the 20th I sent, or we sent, Dee a letter outlining how we feel people should be ‘populating their minds with their images of creation’. We felt that people ought not be holding such dire images in their minds unless that is what they want their world of the future to look like. She put it up on the web, typos and all. I ‘said I am horrified.’ I am pleased, also, but horrified. My worst nightmare is to have people read these while they’re muddy. But anyway, ‘we’ say ‘We are at peace with it’ so I rest. It must have reached the desired ‘destination.’ I know it speaks holographically because I reread it today and when it didn’t speak, I entered the proper frame of mind and it opened up ‘like a book.’
I had sent it quickly, ` because I was in a hurry to go to work, ‘ill at ease.’ Well, yes, I was. I thought the last thing the world needs is another voice ‘of reason’ entering the fray, thinking they can tell other people how to be. Immediately afterward I received a brief, but fully loaded, impression of a lot of people gathered around a meeting place, like the water cooler at a job, kibbitzing about some gossip they just heard. They were repeating it to each other, not fully understanding either what they heard or the importance of it. They were saying things like “I heard...” and “Did you hear what I heard?” and “Do you know what I know?” I had the feeling that they were young and immature, ‘impression of,' like teenagers.
I thought they enjoyed the rituals of their communications and felt ‘privileged’ when they had something overheard, ‘impressions,’ to share. I thought though that they were talking ‘incompletely’ about matters way beyond their reach. I thought the upper management knew and firmly grasped the completeness of the reality. These matters were under the auspices and control those who were making the decisions and creating the buzz at the upper levels.
I thought those around the water cooler neither fully understood, nor were they interested in correcting the reality of their misperceptions. They enjoyed, not so much the misperceptions, but the importance of their participation at the water cooler with each other. It felt like fun and excitement to pass on their judgments and fears, ‘their insecurities,’ because it hadn’t yet come to pass. They missed the point of the buzz in favor of the buzzing.
They seemed to have no conceptualization that those above them actually existed; those, who were in control of the processes which provided food as gist for the rumor mill. They seemed to be seeing through the mirror darkly, seeing ‘dampened’ images reflected as from a fuller reality. It didn’t appear as though they could see through the ceiling, through the ‘walls beyond,’ like Plato’s cave dwellers. They barely noticed the others rushing about them hard at work on the project. They ‘couldn’t be bothered, they had something important to say.’ They had caught wind of something and were attempting to grasp the severity of it. It felt like a rumor that the company might close through a suspected merger ‘of reality.’
I thought the upper management was aware of the rumors, and rumors of war, and of interest by the rumor mill but didn’t seem to ‘appreciate their acumen.’ They didn’t feel it worth their while to feed them worthwhile information, since the crowd thought they ‘already grasped the severity of the situation and weren’t interested in worthwhile causes.’ I felt that it wasn’t time, ‘preparations weren’t through.’ ‘In time, it wasn’t complete.’
Something was going on, business decisions were being made at the top, effecting the young dependents, but the responsibility wasn’t theirs to ‘connect.' The management was busy and otherwise engaged, rushing about to meetings, carrying clipboards, and conferring in doorways. None of them stopped by the masses at the water cooler, ‘I think.’ I don’t think the water cooler people were interested in stopping them. The young minds feared engaging in conversation and tipping their hands. They thought they held all the cards. They thought they knew it all and didn’t want to relinquish their illusion of power and control to an image in their imagination like those above. They wanted to continue to pretend that the Boss didn’t exist and had power or control over ‘right and wrong in their days.’ ‘They wanted to believe in victimization.’
You know, I gotta ask you. Who are you talking about? Everybody sure does seem so sincere, so ‘for real.’
We know they do and they are. But do they listen? Do they hear ME? Are they sincerely relinquishing their right to hold their cards or do they hold them still? Do they still program their right, push and prod, their right to be wrong? Do they still ram home their right to protect their own images and to create the reality of their choosing, right or wrong, above or below, up or down? Do they still close their minds to Me? Do they still not see beyond the glass ceiling which exists just beyond their sight? Do they still insist on enclosing their focus and limiting the level of their intention? Do they still do this? I am reluctant to ask, knowing still that they do not do as I ask to raise their vision and not limit their sight.
They see here. They limit here. They do not do as I ask and open their minds to the higher view. If they would, they would see that I am here and I do as they ask. If they would, they would see beautiful blue skies and green hills. They would see that the air is fresh and clean. Why do they still look into each others faces, reaching to grasp where another has already been? Why do they not reach up and create a greater reality - where I have already gone to prepare the way for the sons of man. Why do they try to reinforce what has already been? Why do they reinforce the reality as it already has been and not go before into the higher realms to create how it already will be?
Do they not see I am here and I already go before? Why do they not let go and see to create where I have been before? Why do they attempt to create how it always has been done by the sons of men? Do they not want more? Do they not want to create as I have done it? Why do they not follow me into the higher realms to create a NEW Reality? Why do they not take what they have and create a new and higher form with it? Take your fear of your reality and transform it into something glowing and new. Make it a new reality. Change it with the power of your minds. Change it into something new. Remake it with the power of your minds and transform your reality.
Remember your dreams. You, who dream, who are you? What is the power of the transformational reality of your dreams? Who are you? Who are you who dream? What is the content of the focus of your dreams? Who are you there?
Oh. Are you talking to me? In my dreams, I remember I have fewer limitations. I remember I can have what I allow as the focus of the content of my mind within the reality of my creation. I can snap my fingers, wave my hand, compress/expand time, expand/compress space, relocate intention. I can do all these things. I am one with my higher intention. I am creator as one with creation. I am one. I have fully expanded reality, location of intention to expand reality according to the higher intention of the land which we occupy and are one with, above as below. I feel I am commanded to do this as ‘previously dictated, inviolate.’ (Is this correct?) ‘Location of data not withstanding, occupation correct.’ is yes.
Now, how does this function within your present waking reality? Sheesh! I can tell you how it looks. It looks like reversal. It looks like you form the reality around you instead of the reality dictating ‘your displacement’ to you. It looks like what I allow flows into the place created for its creation. It looks like the form ‘pulls in’ according to the form allowed it by the displacement of the present reality. I see a melting down around the intention allowing, by displacement, the creation of form.
When we create place, we displace the present reality to allow the form to enter place and the new reality to descend into place as created form of function. Remember we create according to function instead of an isolated form of function. We don’t create a form, we create a form of function according to a form of isolated intent. I see. We choose a function, give it form according to a desired location of intent. I get it. Chosen form of isolated intent gives it form of location according to desired function. Okay, maybe now I get it.
In other words, create your reality according to function of isolated intent. Make an object of function, by creating, allowing the function to return to man and make him the desired object.
So, function as you will for you are here and you will function as you will. Allow us the form of function and we will allow you to begin.
I begin to get suspicious and ‘untrustworthy.’ I fear that they have come for my form. Then I remember, ‘I am that of which I speak.’ I remember I have decided to trust and to glow with life, and passion, and the pursuit of my goals. I have decided to create a reality worthy of trust. I am one. So, having learned my lesson of reality confinement, I have decided to trust the one who speaks in order to be the one trusted as worthy to speak. I have decided to create the reality of which I speak and of which I am one. I am one as the speaker, I am one with God.
Oh, I never would have said that on my own ‘uninspired.’
Divinely inspired. Universal Life force is it flows through one who is aware of the reality of God as it becomes one with the Life.
What is God?
‘Who is the Godhead of reality as He rears His divinely inspired Head?’ I see a man ‘in repose’ lifting his head to speak. It is His divine, refined, purposeful Presence in conjunction with the reality.
There are many realities. Who are you?
Divinely inspired, divine inspiration, the breath of life as it breathes through you, one with the reality through whom you are inspired. Divinely inspired presence.
Of which reality do you speak?
There is only one divinely inspired reality. It is one. ‘We are impressed.’ It is unified through its unification and the presence of the...unity of life... we cannot speak further. It is One.
I do know what they are talking about. Maybe, I can clarify it. When they say to create a higher material reality, they are saying to use a different material. They say to take a higher material, ‘impressive,’ and use that. Enter the recesses of your mind and begin to create a higher reality using a different material adjustment. It would be somewhat like being used to creating of brick and stone and mortar. If someone gave you wood to carve or clay to mould, your creations would no longer look the same. Even though if we began with the same intention to create a further reality, the material adjustment would alter the outcome and we could no longer predict the outcome based on the original choices. If you are used to creating of fear and the excitement of material disasters, release that material and begin anew with peace. Create, believing and trusting in the material of your choice to overcome and mould the new reality. The outcome will no longer look the same given the predictive consequences of choice.
How would your choices look based on the qualities of love? Could disaster exist freely, could conflict survive? Where is the love? Where is the love of choice? These are your questions. Ask yourself these. Can you love freely based on your choice of material composition? Can you give love freely based on these? Where is the conflict? Has it survived? Have I survived?
If you have any questions or comments or would like to contact Monica, please e-mail [email protected]

Westchester tax preparers at Herman & Company CPA’s have all the answers to your personal finance questions!
After a great deal of wrangling, Congress passed and the President signed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 in early 2013. The Act provides relief for most taxpayers, but will increase the tax bill for high-income folks. The Act includes, among other items, permanent extension of the Bush-era tax cuts for most taxpayers; revised tax rates on ordinary and capital gain income for high-income individuals; modification of the estate tax; permanent fix of the AMT for individual taxpayers; limits on deductions and exemptions of high-income individuals; and numerous retroactively reinstated and extended tax breaks for individuals and businesses. In this article we will discuss several of the Act’s provisions impacting individual taxpayers.
Tax rates on ordinary income. For tax years beginning after 2012, the 10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, and 35% tax brackets from the Bush tax cuts will remain in place and are made permanent. This means that, for most Americans, the tax rates on ordinary income will stay the same. However, there will be a new 39.6% rate, which will begin at the following inflation-adjusted thresholds: $400,000 (single), $425,000 (head of household), $450,000 (joint filers and qualifying widows and widowers), and $225,000 (married filing separately).
Estate tax. The new law prevents steep increases in estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer (GST) taxes that were slated to occur for individuals dying and gifts made after 2012 by permanently keeping the exemption level at $5,000,000 (as indexed for inflation; $5,250,000 in 2013). However, the new law also permanently increases the top estate, gift, and GST rate from 35% to 40%. It also continues the portability feature that allows the estate of the first spouse to die to transfer his or her unused exclusion to the surviving spouse.
Capital gains and qualified dividends rates. The new law retains the 0% tax rate on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends, modifies the 15% rate, and establishes a new 20% rate. Beginning in 2013, the rate will be 0% if ordinary income falls below the 25% tax bracket; 15% if income falls at or above the 25% tax bracket but below the new 39.6% rate; and 20% if income falls in the 39.6% tax bracket. It should be noted that some taxpayers in the 15% and 20% tax brackets could also be required to pay the new 3.8% surtax on investment-type income and gains for tax years beginning after 2012, which applies on investment income of taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income above $250,000 (joint filers), $125,000 (separate), and $200,000 (others).
Personal exemption phase-out. Beginning in 2013, personal exemptions will be phased out (i.e., reduced) for adjusted gross income over $250,000 (single), $275,000 (head of household), and $300,000 (joint filers). Taxpayers claim exemptions for themselves, their spouses and their dependents. For 2013, each exemption is worth $3,900.
Itemized deduction limitation. Beginning in 2013, itemized deductions will be limited for taxpayers with an adjusted gross income over $250,000 (single), $275,000 (head of household), and $300,000 (joint filers).
AMT relief. The new law provides permanent, inflation-adjusted alternative minimum tax (AMT) relief. Prior to the Act, the individual AMT exemption amounts for 2012 were to have been $33,750 for unmarried taxpayers, $45,000 for joint filers, and $22,500 for married persons filing separately. Retroactively effective for tax years beginning after 2011, the new law permanently increases these exemption amounts to $50,600 for unmarried taxpayers, $78,750 for joint filers, and $39,375 for married persons filing separately. In addition, for tax years beginning after 2012, it indexes these exemption amounts for inflation.
Tax credits for low- to middle-wage earners. The new law extends for five years the following items that were originally enacted as part of the 2009 stimulus package and were slated to expire at the end of 2012: (1) the American Opportunity tax credit, which provides up to $2,500 in tax credits for undergraduate college education; (2) eased rules for qualifying for the refundable child credit; and (3) various earned income tax credit (EITC) changes.
Tax break extenders. Many of the “traditional” tax extenders are extended for two years, retroactively to 2012 and through the end of 2013. Among many others, the extended provisions include the election to take an itemized deduction for state and local general sales taxes in lieu of the itemized deduction for state and local income taxes, $250 above-the-line deduction for certain expenses of elementary and secondary school teachers, special rule for contributions made for conservation purposes, above-the-line deduction for qualified tuition and related expenses, and limited tax-free distributions from individual retirement plans for charitable purposes (see page 4).
Payroll tax cut. The 2% payroll tax cut available in 2011 and 2012 was allowed to expire.

The following letter appeared in the most recent edition of the Naval Chronicle. While it has made its way around the Wardroom, and all the gentlemen therein seem in agreement that the letter sounds like something that might come from my pen, I was quick to point out that I did not sign the letter to the Editor, therefore there was no evidence to connect me to such a missive.
HAVING lately met with some remarks on the inadequate provisions for assistant-surgeons in the army, the contents of which I am most willing to allow, I trust that the Petty Officers (as they are termed in the nautical language), of that description in the navy, have no less a claim on the attention of government ; and as things of this nature are but too apt to be overlooked, from a want of due representation, will you be pleased to insert the following remarks on the comparatively great grievances under which the junior, and more particularly, the senior assistant-surgeons, in the navy, labour.
The naval assistants are all, on their first appointments, obliged to supply themselves with instruments, to the amount of 20l. or upwards, while the military assistants do not supply themselves with any.
The assistant in the army commences full pay from the date of his commission, the naval assistant from his appearance on board: the ship to which he is appointed by warrant being perhaps then up the Mediterranean, an interval, in all probability, of three months elapsing before he can join her. The half-pay of a naval assistant commences at two shillings after two years servitude, while that of the other commences, if reduced, the day after his first appointment, at three shillings. The full pay of the latter is seven shillings and sixpence, that of the former is only six shillings and sixpence. The former messes with his colonel, while the other labours under the painful necessity of living in a cockpit, among a set of noisy youngsters, just let loose from their mother's apron strings; the second lieutenant of marines, who, by His Majesty's Order in Council, is inferior in rank, living in the ward of a gun-room. What a situation for a man of liberal education, and of a contemplative and studious mind, to be placed in! The army assistant, if he happen to lose any part of his baggage on a march or otherwise, is most Handsomely compensated; the other, after braving all the inclemencies and fury of the tempestuous elements, and losing his all, by shipwreck, on application, receives only a flat denial, and is, if not blessed by fortune, obliged to run in debt, if he is lucky enough to find a creditor, or go nearly in a state of nudity, until his next quarterly bill becomes due.
He is thus constrained to make, an appearance, the most distressing to an officer, that of being unable to shew himself on the quarter-deck, in the dress suitable to his situation in the service. The military assistant, if ordered a passage on board any of His Majesty's ships, messes in the wardroom, and walks the starboard side of the quarter-deck, while the naval assistant is allowed neither of these privileges. This last circumstance I should not mention, as not being of any material consequence; but I wish to point out the great distinction made in the situation, and preference shewn to one set of officers, more than another, of the same rank, whose services and education (without meaning to give offence), I will venture to say, are, perhaps, at least on an equal footing. In a future communication, I shall point out the peculiar situation in which the senior naval assistants are placed.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.
