My boyfriend [M/18] started acting distant a few days after I [F/19] moved to my own state. After asking him about it, he bombards me with this. What should I do?
It sounds like he’s going through some mental health issues to be honest. He needs to get help.
Have you discussed getting help with him at all? Maybe just say that you're concerned about him and think he could use some professional support? | 2019-04-22T14:25:33 | https://www.reddit.com/user/SuicideAngel77 |

Nearly everyone has auto and home insurance, but most of these insurance-holders have other items aside from their car and their home that are also highly valuable to them. For this reason, many insurance companies in Coppell, Flower Mound, Lewisville, Grapevine, Irving, and other areas of Texas all offer additional insurance coverage plans to ensure that the owner's valuables are always protected. These plans include umbrella insurance, RV insurance, boat insurance, and toy insurance.
If you are an avid outdoors-enthusiast, it's likely that you own a recreational vehicle, or RV. Unless this is your primary automobile, you also likely don't have insurance on this vehicle. If something were to happen to your RV, this could amount to a tremendous loss equal to that of damaging your primary automobile. To keep your RV protected, it's important to purchase RV insurance to prevent loss from unexpected damages.
Many Texas residents live along the coast and enjoy boating in their spare time. A boat may be fun to use recreationally, but it's also a big investment that set you back quite a bit if something were to happen out on the dangerous Gulf of Mexico. With boat insurance, you can focus on enjoying the sport of boating without risking a huge loss in the event of an accident.
We might not be kids anymore, but we all still have a personal toy that holds both sentimental and monetary value. This can be anything from a $3,000 camera or an antique electric guitar. Toy insurance would cover all of these valuable items that may or may not be included in your general home insurance coverage plan.
Finally, umbrella insurance covers everything left behind after all of your other coverage plans are put in place. This type of insurance usually covers things you may not have thought of when purchasing insurance, or it might just cover any excess costs that your original auto or home insurance plan didn't cover. It's called umbrella insurance because it's always there for you on a rainy day.
When you purchase additional insurance coverage plans with the agency itself, it's impossible to weigh the pros and cons in an unbiased manner. Alternatively, you can compare insurance quotes from an independent agent, like The Select Insurance Agency, to answer your questions and concerns with complete honesty and no ulterior motive. A knowledgeable insurance agent at The Select Insurance Agency can help you make the most appropriate decision for your needs, while comparing quotes to find the best price available. | 2019-04-22T04:59:37 | https://www.insurancefordfw.com/other-insurance.html |
This particular introductory snippet that sets the mood for Fotis' little gang, is also a tribute to the great greek writer/playwright Dimitris Psathas (Δημήτρης Ψαθάς) and his short stories about children during the Occupation, under the group title 'The gamins' (Οι Πιτσιρίκοι) . Those of you (unlikely, but there ARE more Greeks on DD than I) who have read those short stories will immediately know where this is going, but don't give away the secret!
PS: In panel one, you see greek graffiti from the actual era. People had started writing (sometimes at their life's peril) rebelling messages on the walls, so you can read in Greek, from left to right: "Hellas, You Live On", "EAM-ELLAS" (more on who these guys were later, when I get my compy), "Slaves, To Arms/Rise Up", "Either Chains or Arms" (this is a reference to older slogans, from the 1821 War of Independence, going more or less "Better to live one hour free, than 40 years in slavery") and finally right under that one "Down with the Nazis".
έλα πατριώτη/σσα σε πήρα πρέφα, χοχο.
Χα χα χα! Με τσάκωσες :D Thank you!
Great to see all the background you put into it. And 10 panels on a page! Wow. That's tough to pull off but it reads great. | 2019-04-19T21:14:34 | http://withoutmoonlight.thecomicseries.com/comics/6/ |
HMT’s Advantage hot melt film adhesive excels at bonding cork to substrates. Because our hot melt film adhesive contains no water, the adhesive will not be absorbed by cork material. That means no warping, no wrinkles, no bleed through caused by white glues.
To reduce cork expenses, consider laminating ultra-thin cork to celotex, homasote, etc. The laminated output will be rigid and lightweight while retaining the aesthetics of cork.
Our Advantage Laminating System’s roll feed option can handle extremely heavy, large rolls of cork. Of course, you also have the option of feeding sheets and panels as well.
Cork and hot melt adhesive are found in bulletin boards, flooring, coasters, architectural decorative panels, etc.
Let us provide a sample of your cork material, bonded to your substrate, using our equipment and adhesive. Request a sample here. | 2019-04-20T12:17:45 | https://www.hmtmfg.com/blog/laminating-cork-with-hot-melt-adhesive/ |

Manager's Agenda #7. A communication transmitted from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, relative to Awaiting Report Item Number 18-30 regarding a report on the possibility of Cambridge joining the national suit against opioid manufacturers and distributors.
Normally I don't care for lawsuits like this, but in this case I'll make an exception. These are the worst kinds of dope dealers. Better yet, we don't have to pay for the litigation unless the City prevails and is awarded damages.
I think we're starting to get a bit too prescriptive with Cambridge zoning, especially with the introduction of "overlay districts" for every imaginable use. Many of us would like to see opportunities for senior living or a place where artists can flourish. We would also like places to buy affordable groceries. Is the creation of an overlay district to dictate one use while preventing other potential good uses the right way to go? It's one thing to classify land use as residential, commercial, industrial, etc., but how far down should this categorization go?
Whatever happened to the idea of a relocated Public Works Yard? I'm not necessarily recommending this, but putting DPW on Concord Ave. and building mixed-income housing on the current DPW site isn't a crazy idea.
Anyone who has followed this knew this Order would eventually come. That will be an interesting and likely fruitless journey down the road of Retroactive Zoning & Tax Classification. Looking forward would make a lot more sense, but I'm sure I'll find the history interesting.
I attended this meeting. My impression is that we have several elected officials who have never seen a fee increase or a tax increase that they didn't embrace and celebrate. The simplest way to understand fees is to make clear the distinction with taxes. A fee pays for a service, and the money raised has to support that service. It's not just another revenue source like a tax that can be used for whatever pet project a councillor wants to support. Personally, I find the notion of renewing a parking sticker every year a bit ridiculous. We accept it only because we're familiar with the routine (and the long lines for some). A much better system would be to pay a one-time fee for a sticker that's good for as long as you own the vehicle and still live in Cambridge. It would be easy to encode the sticker for easy verification against City databases. The only people waiting on lines would then be for new residents or new vehicles.
Committee Report #1. A communication was received from Paula M. Crane, Deputy City Clerk, transmitting a report from Councilor E. Denise Simmons, Chair and Councilor Sumbul Siddiqui of the Housing Committee for a public hearing held on June 12, 2018 to discuss the housing ombudsman position, receive a detailed update regarding the timeline and plan for the affordable housing overlay district, an update on the inclusionary housing report, and the map of all affordable housing in the city.
Manager's Agenda #1. A communication transmitted from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, relative to recommendations of the Community Preservation Act Committee (CPAC) for FY2019.
80% housing, 10% open space, 10% historic preservation - same as every year. Not negotiable.
Manager's Agenda #6. A communication transmitted from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, relative to a Planning Board recommendation to adopt the Cannabis Zoning Petition with suggested revisions and additional considerations.
I'm a little curious about this: "Board members suggested further study of whether mobile facilities could be allowed, given that a mobile facility operating on a temporary basis might provide lower barriers to entry for small businesses that cannot afford typical retail rents." Are they talking about pot trucks to go along with the food trucks? When I was a kid there was a Good Humor Man who got caught selling dope out of his ice cream truck. Nowadays they'd just call that economic empowerment.
Manager's Agenda #8. A communication transmitted from Louis A. DePasquale, City Manager, relative to the reappointment of the following persons as a members of the Library Board of Trustees: Karen Kosko, Patricia Payne and Nancy Woods.
Applications & Petitions #3. An application was received from the Office of the Mayor McGovern requesting permission for a temporary banner across Massachusetts Avenue in front of City Hall promoting the Indigenous Peoples' Day from Oct 3, 2018 thru Oct 15, 2018.
Our petulant Councillor Zondervan continues to stomp his feet in protest over the failure of the Nakagawa-Brown petition to be passed to a 2nd Reading. First he tried to file reconsideration, and now he wants to go for the legislative equivalent of annulment. I am not a lawyer (IANAL) and I have no prior knowledge of anyone ever looking to do pull a "Motion to Rescind" on a prior vote, but consider the ramifications of such a thing. A local legislature votes on a zoning matter (one way or another) and the matter is finalized. A property owner then happily goes to the bank to secure financing now that the road has been cleared. Then a month or so later the local legislature comes back and cries "Do Over" like that annoying kid who didn't like the fact that the other kids prevailed in the ball game.
The interesting aspect of this (at least to me) is the legal separation of authority under the City Charter. The City Council may be the body that sets general policies, but can you imagine the ensuing chaos of having the Cambridge City Council micromanaging how the Cambridge Police Department conducts its day-to-day operations or how it responds to an emergency situation? It's one thing to set parameters and maintain a dialogue, but police investigations should not be arbitrarily constrained by people trained more in politics than in police work.

1. Export the complete folder structure with VM details of a datacenter from VC1 to a outputfile.
2. Then in VC2 i need to create only a particular folder with all its its sub-folders from the output file generated from VC1. This folder will be a root folder which is directly under datacenter in VC1.
3. After creating the particular folder structure, the script should read the vm's that was present in that folder & subfolder from output file and then it should search the same VM's in VC2 and place them into the folders identically.
The folder1 structure hs been taken from VC1 and has been created in VC2 with all the subfolders and placing the same VM's in the folders.
Not sure if I understood your point 2) but here are 2 scripts that should do what I think you want to do.
Export the VMs and the folderstructure.
The script uses a New-VIProperty to fetch the blue folderpath for a VM.
Import the folder structure and move existing VMs.
The complete folder structure that was exported will now be imported in datacenter MyNewDC under the folder Folder1.
Thanks Alan. That book is a marvellous work! Adopted many of them for my daily work.
That is correct, these scripts are VM-based.
To export/import also your empty folders, I suggest you use the Export-Folders and Import-Folders functions that come with the book module.
Luc, i accessed the sybex download page http://spa.sybex.com/WileyCDA/SybexTitle/VMware-vSphere-PowerCLI-Reference-Automating-vSphere-Administration.productCd-0470890797,navId-290600,pageCd-resources.html and downloaded Ch01 sample code.
I used Export-folders, Export-vmlocation, Import-folders, Import-vmlocation functions.
I altered this line to the one given below and i was able to accomplish the task without any problem.
Did that original line produce error messages ?
And how did the path look when it gave errors ?
I exported the folders and VM using export functions. And i want to import only one folder and subfolders and it's vm's in the target VC's. So i altered the output folder file and created the folders. And while hadling the VM location output file i made a mistake.
Sorry for that! Your function works perfect!
This post is Old! Any news to migrate folder and structure in to vcenters?
Any software or script do make this??
This script works a treat, I'm just wondering if it's possible to import my folder structure to the root of the DC rather than a temp folder (moving them manually won't exactly be difficult, but just wondering if it's possible).
How can I also script import of Yellow folders? Not that I have many of them, would be easy enough to remake them manually.
If you change the line that sets up the start folder like this, it should import in the root folder.
That almost worked, it imported to the root folder but to the root folder of the VC... Not under the datacenter that has been configured. Any advice?
Not sure I get the question, when you import to the folder Datacenters, that should create the folders in the root of the vCenter.
Perhaps you can add some screenshots to indicate what you mean ?
Note: The script imported all sub-folders correctly, I created the above screenshot manually as I deleted the folders after the script failed to create the above folder structure.

Genesis chapter 46 Star Chart: Clockwise from when "Israel (Auriga) took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered (solar burnt) sacrifices unto the God (Cepheus) of his father Isaac" (46:1) after 43° hours till "they took their (Taurus) cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob (Auriga), and all his seed with him" (46:6) is 17° days later in 1661 B.C. Also 17° months till the end of the seven-year famine in 1656 B.C. Finally notice also that Jacob lived after this 17° years (Genesis 47:28) when "Joseph (Orion) shall put his hand upon thine (lunar) eyes" (46:4) to close them at death in 1644 B.C. Notice the wagon with lunar wheels and red radius canopy. Perhaps Jacob (Auriga) was embalmed inside a red radius pyramid temporarily also.
46:1 And Israel (Auriga) took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered (solar burnt) sacrifices unto the (Cepheus) God of his father Isaac.
4 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph (Orion) shall put his hand upon thine (lunar) eyes.
The last tender office performed by the nearest relative. The promise is fulfilled; see Genesis 50:1.
this was a custom among the Greeks and Romans, as appears from Homer (Odyss. 11. ), Virgil (Aeneid. l. 9.), Ovid (Trist. l. 1. Eleg. 2), and other writers (Vid. Kirchman, de Funer. Rom. l. 1. c. 6. & Kipping. Rom. Antiqu. l. 4. c. 6. ); and so, among the Jews, Tobias is said to shut the eyes of his wife's father and mother, and to bury them honourably,"Where he became old with honour, and he buried his father and mother in law honourably, and he inherited their substance, and his father Tobit's.'' (Tobit 14:13)Of the Vulgate Latin version: Maimonides ( Hilchot Ebel, l. 4. sect. 1.) reckons this of closing the eyes of the dead, among the rites used towards them, and so in the Talmud (T. Bab. Sabbat, fol. 151. 2.): now by this expression Jacob was assured that Joseph was alive, and that he should live to see him, and that Joseph would outlive him, and do this last office for him; and, as Ben Melech observes, by this he had the good news told him that Joseph should remain behind him, to sustain and support his sons, and his sons' sons, all the years that he should live after him.
5 And Jacob (Auriga) rose up from Beersheba: and the (Gemini) sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little (Gemini) ones, and their (Gemini) wives, in the (Auriga) wagons (with lunar wheels) which (Cepheus) Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
7 His (Gemini) sons, and his (Gemini) sons' sons with him, his (Gemini) daughters, and his sons' (Gemini) daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
8 And these are the names of the (Gemini) children of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his (Gemini) sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.
9 And the (Gemini) sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
10 And the (Gemini) sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
11 And the (Gemini) sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
12 And the (Gemini) sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the (Gemini) sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
13 And the (Gemini) sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.
14 And the (Gemini) sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
15 These be the (Gemini) sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his (Gemini) sons and his (Gemini) daughters were thirty and three.
16 And the (Gemini) sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.
17 And the (Gemini) sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the (Gemini) sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel.
18 These are the (Gemini) sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.
19 The (Gemini) sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
20 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born (Castor) Manasseh and (Pollux) Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
21 And the (Gemini) sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
22 These are the (Gemini) sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.
23 And the (Gemini) sons of Dan; Hushim.
Only one name is given. No list of Danites appears in 1 Chronicles 2-8.
24 And the (Gemini) sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.
25 These are the (Gemini) sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.
The number, therefore, of sixty-six must be regarded as the result of deducting four persons, presumably Er and Onan, and the “two souls born to Joseph in Egypt” (Genesis 46:20).
27 And the (Gemini) sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two (Gemini) souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten (70).
threescore and ten] LXX gives “threescore and fifteen,” which is followed in Acts 7:14. The additional five persons were the three grandsons and two great-grandsons born to Joseph in Egypt. Cf. Genesis 50:23; Numbers 26:28 ff.
29 And Joseph (Orion) made ready his (Auriga) chariot, and went up to meet Israel (Auriga) his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his (lunar) neck, and wept on his (lunar) neck a good while.
30 And Israel (Auriga) said unto Joseph (Orion), Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.
Jacob lived after this seventeen years, Genesis 47:28.
32 And the (Gemini) men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed (Taurus) cattle; and they have brought their (Aries) flocks, and their (Taurus) herds, and all that they have (solar gold coins and lunar silver).
33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh (Cepheus) shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
34 That ye shall say, Thy (Gemini) servants' trade hath been about (Taurus) cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our (Gemini) fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the (Gemini) Egyptians.
Egyptian artists evincing the contempt in which they were held by frequently representing them as either lame or deformed, dirty and unshaven, and sometimes of a most ludicrous appearance (vide Wilkinson, 'Ancient Egyptians,' vol. 2. p. 444, ed. 1878).
About seventeen or eighteen centuries before the Christian era it is probable that the Hyksos, or shepherd kings, were masters of the southern part of the country, while a native dynasty still prevailed in lower Egypt. The religion of these shepherd intruders was different from that of the Egyptians which they treated with disrespect. They were addicted to the barbarities which are usually incident to a foreign rule. It is not surprising, therefore, that the shepherd became the abomination of Egypt.
God therefore, in his infinite wisdom, brought them into Egypt, and kept them there during this period, the only place where they could remain for so long a time safe and unconfounded with the natives, the ancient Egyptians being by numerous institutions forbidden all fellowship with strangers, and bearing besides a particular aversion to the profession of the Israelites, who were shepherds. Thus the natural dispositions of the Israelites, which in Egypt occasioned their superstitions, and in consequence the necessity of a burdensome ritual, would in any other country have absorbed them into Gentilism, and confounded them with idolaters.
this must be understood of foreign shepherds, the Egyptians having been greatly distressed by such, who either came out of Ethiopia, and lived by plunder and robbery ( Gaulmin. Not. in Dfore Hayamim, p. 267. ), or out of Phoenicia or Arabia; for, according to Manetho ( Apud Joseph. contr. Apion. l. 1. sect. 14.), it was said that they were Arabians or Phoenicians who entered into Egypt, burnt their cities, &c. and set up kings of their own, called their Hycsi, or pastor kings: and therefore Joseph might the rather fear his brethren and father's family would be the more contemptible in that they came from Canaan, which was near to Arabia and Phoenicia. The Hyksos (Amu) were the Amalekites (Ages in Chaos, Velikovski).
"There were Egyptian Pharaohs of Amalekite descent" (Historia anteislamica, ed. Fleischer, pp.17,179). Psalm 78:49 says, "He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath and indignation, and trouble, invasion of king-shepherds." | 2019-04-18T17:19:40 | http://british-israel.us/277.html |

One small particular that stood out at training camp Thursday was the presence of knee braces on both the legs of every offensive lineman on the roster.
Talking to Demetrius Bell following his first practice back from a long knee rehab, Bell said they don’t have a choice.
Bell did say he understood the reasoning behind it and coming off of knee surgery he doesn’t mind the extra protection. Knowing camp is likely to be more physical in the past, the knee braces are worth mandating to keep players healthy and on the field. | 2019-04-23T17:16:48 | http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/07/29/knee-braces-mandatory-for-o-line/ |

10 million common shares outstanding, each trading at a price of $90.
1 million preferred shares which have a face (or par) value of $100 and pay a constant dividend of 9% of par. They currently trade at a price of $120 each.
Debentures that have a total face value of $60,000,000 and a yield to maturity of 6% per annum. They are publicly traded and their market price is equal to 90% of their face value.
The risk-free rate is 5% and the market return is 10%.
Market analysts estimate that the company's common stock has a beta of 1.2. The corporate tax rate is 30%.
What is the company's after-tax Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)? Assume a classical tax system.
A firm changes its capital structure by issuing a large amount of debt and using the funds to repurchase shares. Its assets are unchanged.
The firm and individual investors can borrow at the same rate and have the same tax rates.
The firm's debt and shares are fairly priced and the shares are repurchased at the market price, not at a premium.
There are no market frictions relating to debt such as asymmetric information or transaction costs.
Shareholders wealth is measured in terms of utiliity. Shareholders are wealth-maximising and risk-averse. They have a preferred level of overall leverage. Before the firm's capital restructure all shareholders were optimally levered.
According to Miller and Modigliani's theory, which statement is correct?
(a) The firm's share price and shareholder wealth will both decrease. This is because the firm will have more debt and therefore more risk so the discount rate applied to its cash flows will be higher, decreasing the value of the firm and therefore the value of the firm's equity and share price.
(b) The firm's share price and shareholder wealth will both increase. This is because the firm will have more debt which will amplify the returns of equity investors. This will mean that returns on equity can be much higher and investors will pay a premium for this, leading to an increase in the stock price.
(c) The firm's share price and shareholder wealth will both increase since it has more debt and therefore more tax shields.
(d) The firm's share price will increase due to the higher value of tax shields. But shareholder wealth will remain unchanged because capital structure is irrelevant when investors can use home-made leverage to create tax-shields themselves.
(e) The firm's share price and shareholder wealth will both increase. This is because the cost of debt is cheaper than equity, leading to a lower (before and after tax) WACC. This lower WACC will lead to a higher value of the firm and a higher share price.

In the dividend discount model (DDM), share prices fall when dividends are paid. Let the high price before the fall be called the peak, and the low price after the fall be called the trough.

The best way I could understand the spine is to think of your spinal cord like a tree with branches. The spinal cord that runs from your head to your "behind" is the tree trunk. Off the spinal cord there are "nerve roots", like tree branches. There are branches at every step down your vertebrae. The spine is labeled levels Cs for neck, T's for Trunk (thoracic) and Ls for Lumbar (lower back). Depending on the number that is the level where you neural foramina is narrowed.
The neural foramin are canal like space where those "tree braches" nerves roots exit the spinal canal to your extremities, body , etc.. There is one on each side (right and left) formed by the bony part of your spine.
Narrowing is most usually caused by bone spur /ridges like growth, or sometimes disc material bulging into that space. Usually causing pain, tingling, or numbness. | 2019-04-21T01:02:14 | https://www.healthboards.com/boards/spinal-cord-disorders/560129-what-does-narrowing-neural-foramina-mean.html |

Unfortunately "sweeping generalisations" have been made without availing avenues for redress, he said.
A day after three Doordarshan employees alleged that they were sexually harassed by their superiors, CEO Prasar Bharati Shashi Shekhar said on Saturday that the public broadcaster takes all such cases "extremely seriously" and action is taken strictly in accordance with disciplinary rules.
The women claimed at a press conference in Delhi that they were sexually harassed on the pretext of getting their contracts renewed. The women, all of them contractual employees, did not get into details of the harassment incidents.
"Doordarshan is led by a highly capable @DG_Doordarshan. We take all cases of this nature extremely seriously, action is taken strictly in accordance with law/applicable disciplinary rules," Mr Shekhar tweeted.
Varuna Bhandari, a lawyer, who is advising the victims, had on Friday said she has been approached by seven other women employees also from Doordarshan who have alleged sexual harassment at their work place.
"In nine out of 10 cases, the ICC (Internal Complaints Committee) did not pay attention to the sexual harassment complaints," Mr Bhandari claimed at the press conference. | 2019-04-18T14:35:41 | https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/doordarshan-takes-sex-harassment-cases-extremely-seriously-prasar-bharati-ceo-shashi-shekhar-1969914 |
The Grateful Dead graced the stage of the Capitol Theatre on the 23rd of February exactly forty two years before this Grace Potter & the Nocturnals show. They may not be the Dead, but Grace Potter & the Nocturnals have clearly been sprinkled with some of that early 70s pixie dust. The band, formed in 2002, has come into their own over the last few years as their reputation as a live juggernaut spreads, but they could as easily be from ’71. How they got their reputation isn’t hard to figure out; listen to Potter start belting the opening lines of “The Lion the Beast the Beat” from their 2012 record of the same name, and then pick your jaw up off the floor. If Grace Slick, Janis Joplin, Ann and Nancy Wilson, and Chrissie Hynde each took a turn at the mic, they might not be better than Potter. This woman has rare, powerful, lead singer pipes, the kind that are too often misspent winning reality singing competitions these days, rather than actually rocking.
GPN do plenty of rocking, mostly of the big-riff, huge chorus, blues-inflected variety. For a band that cut its chops for years in small venues as an “indie” band, everything about the Nocturnals’ sound circa-2013 is as big as Potter’s Hammond B-3. While other time-machine acts have risen more quickly (e.g., Alabama Shakes, the Lumineers), GPN has the most polish, and arguably the most staying power. Potter’s ability to put on a big rock show, while sounding and looking every inch the Big Time Rock Star, is the key ingredient, sure, but her crack band similarly looks and plays the part.
On this Saturday night, Potter and the Nocturnals positively owned the stage and the room for a full two hour-plus performance, including a particularly on-fire rendition of “Medicine” to close out the main set. We saw the band tear through old and new songs from their catalog, as well as choice covers of “Paint It Black” and “House of the Rising Sun”. But perhaps the most memorable moment of the night came at the end, when GPN gave a direct tribute to their forebears in the form of their first-ever Dead cover, a faithful version of “Casey Jones”. The howls of this crowd could probably be heard through the streets of Port Chester by the time Grace thanked us and walked off. Who says there aren’t any rock heroes anymore?
I recorded this set with Schoeps microphones in a Mid-Side configuration to allow optimal stereo separation without unnecessary “room boom”. This was a noisy Saturday night crowd, which is painfully evident at points on the recording. Otherwise, the sound quality is excellent. Thanks also to the excellent staff of the Capitol. We wish you all continued success. Enjoy!
Quality recording and great setlist!!
I have listened to everything Grace has recorded both in released and show tapes on archive. I’ve seen here live many times starting in small clubs. This recording is as good as any that I have heard. It is gratifying to see a new generation of serious bluesrock/r&b groups make it.
My only wish is that Grace cut back touring. She needs to give her voice a rest. Like many singers as they age start to lose her dynamic range, but because she has a loud void she has started to compensate by pushing more volume which in the long run makes it worse. | 2019-04-21T02:10:39 | http://www.nyctaper.com/2013/02/grace-potter-2-23-13/ |

Checking in on recent action, we note that the stock has been trading near the $20.55 level. Investors may also want to keep an eye on historical price activity. During the past 12 weeks, the stock has moved 1.03%. Looking further back to the start of the calendar year, we can see that shares have moved 21.89%. Over the past 4 weeks, shares have seen a change of 6.86%. Over the last 5 trading days, the stock has moved 1.43%. Investors will be monitoring stock activity over the next few sessions to try and decipher which way the momentum is leaning.
Analysts have set a target price on shares of Arconic Inc. (:ARNC). The current consensus price target is $21. Wall Street analysts often provide price target projections on stocks that they cover. Price target projections can be created using a wide variety of methods. Many investors will closely track stock target prices, especially when analysts make updates. A thorough research report will generally offer detailed reasoning for a certain target projection. Some investors may watch sell-side targets very closely and use the information to help with their own stock research.
Sell-side analysts have the capability of providing stock ratings for companies that they cover. According to analysts polled by Zacks Research, the current average broker rating on shares of Arconic Inc. (:ARNC) is 2.14. This average rating includes analysts who have offered Sell, Buy and Hold ratings on the stock. This rating falls on a numeric scale from 1 to 5. A score of 1 would indicate a Buy recommendation, and a score of 5 would represent a Sell recommendation.

Tracking the current quarter consensus EPS estimate for Arconic Inc. (:ARNC), we have noted that the number is currently 0.43. This estimate is using 4 contributing analysts polled by Zacks Research. For the last quarter, the company posted a quarterly EPS of 0.33. Sell-side Wall Street analysts study companies and provide their opinions of where the stock might be going in the future. A lot of weight is given to analyst estimates, and earnings beats or misses revolve around these predictions. Sometimes these estimates are very close to the actual, and other times they are not. When a company announces actual earnings results, a large surprise factor can result in increased volatility. If a company beats estimates and posts a positive earnings surprise, the stock may see a near-term bump in price. On the flip side, a negative surprise may move the stock lower. Based on the unknown, many investors may choose to trade with caution around earnings releases. | 2019-04-18T12:45:56 | https://pennvillecaller.com/stock-update-for-arconic-inc-arnc/46121/ |
Discussing a range of issues, including his feud with Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV, Sen. Richard Gordon made his live TV guesting on ANC's Headstart Tuesday.
Asked what he hopes to come out of the ethics complaint he filed against Trillanes, Gordon told host Karen Davila that he wants him expelled from the Senate.
"I don’t think he belongs in the Senate. His behavior is really out of line," he said. "You don’t call people names. You don’t insult your teammates."
"There are rules. He doesn’t know his rules that’s why he goes up to the deep end. And when that happens, what do you have? A mob. You cannot have a mob in the Senate. People are expected to act in a certain way," he added.
Responding to Gordon's criticism, Trillanes said his Senate colleague "has a history of clearing" high-ranking officials in government.
"He started with GMA (Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo). He defended GMA and other senior officials in the government when he was chairman of Blue Ribbon Committee then," Trillanes said in an interview with Pinky Webb on The Source.
"He cleared Duterte in the EJK hearings when he replaced Sen. De Lima [as chair]. He cleared [DOJ] Sec. Aguirre and other high officials of government in the Bureau of Immigration bribery scandal. So, there was a basis in that term," Trillanes added.
According to the feisty senator, he is ready to face the complaint "willingly and wholeheartedly because I'm confident I didn't do anything wrong."
"Senator Gordon wants me expelled for that particular episode. How petty is that?" Trillanes said, adding that Gordon is just pushing for the complaint to show loyalty to his "political patron" — President Duterte.
"Senator Gordon can fantasize about that scenario. It's not going to happen. I believe the senators know me well enough, that this thing he's alleging is not true. I trust their wisdom and good judgment," he added.
Aside from these live interviews, the two senators also appeared on Monday's Bawal Ang Pasaway Kay Mareng Winnie. | 2019-04-18T17:14:02 | http://www.medianewser.com/2017/09/gordon-and-trillanes-hit-morning-talk-show.html |
The photographs were carefully selected from my archive, to provide a backdrop for Billy’s illustrations. It was pretty simple for me really as my side of the work had already been done, although as we progressed on the work, it became clear that not any old photo would work!
We agreed to work with photographs that didn’t include people. This would allow a whole new world for Billy’s characters without the distraction of a human presence. However, with my style of work verging toward documentary architectural photography, I had a challenge when it came to selecting photographs for the collaboration. Obviously I wanted to give Billy my best work, but I soon realised there were hardly any images in my archive that were suitable, that I liked and that contained no people! The images Billy worked on aren’t necessarily my favourite photos, or the best examples of my own work, but that’s the beauty - that I get to see these images that were, in a sense, forgotten in a totally new way.
One of the unexpected surprises was how human the images are, even with Billy’s characters in them - humans are absent in the most basic sense, but their presence remains strong, particularly in images like the one of the Alexandra Road Estate where you can see washing on the line, signs of life, in the background.
Billy found working with pre-existing images a "refreshing but challenging alternative to creating images from scratch". Relinquishing some creative control gave the illustrator a fresh take on how he approached his work: "I was able to see a space from someone else’s perspective and add to that reality from my own."
A launch night on Tuesday 16th June, from 6pm (all welcome!) will feature a panel discussion on the nature of collaboration. All the info can be found here.
An exhibition, sponsored by Spectrum Photographic, of the first stage of Homogen runs from Tuesday 16th June to Sunday 21st June at Circus Street Market, Brighton.

Solomon Islands and Fiji stand to benefit from a new Air Services agreement signed by Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.
The new agreement follows PNG Prime Minister Peter O’Neill’s visit to Jakarta this week.
President of the PNG Chamber of Commerce and Industry, John Leahy, has told Radio Australia’s Pacific Beat the proposed new direct air-link will not only benefit people from PNG and Indonesia.
“The idea is that they would utilise the 737 aircraft and travel from Nadi through Honiara, Moresby and then on to Bali,” he said.
The booming oil and gas sectors along the Indonesia-PNG border were also discussed during prime minister O’Neill’s visit to Jakarta.
“There could be pipelines that could be used and the product could be shipped via Papua New Guinea rather than another pipeline having to be built on the Indonesian side,” Mr Leahy said.
Around 80 PNG business people accompanied prime minister O’Neill on the trip. | 2019-04-19T06:26:51 | http://fijiworldnews.com/fiji-to-benefit-from-new-air-services-agreement-between-png-and-indonesia-6975 |
You are currently browsing the category archive for the ‘An Enemy Lies Within’ category.
The following includes excerpts from a recently released eBook, An Enemy Lies Within, which is available at each of the major distributors (Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Smashwords, etc.).
The title of this article is the subtitle of The Christian Mind, a fascinating book written by Harry Blamires in 1963. Beginning with the statement, “There is no longer a Christian mind”, this student of C. S. Lewis and contemporary of A. W. Tozer, argues that the church and its members have surrendered to secular thinking (even in regards to Christian subjects). He goes on to describe “the marks of a Christian mind”. I offer them here for your edification and encouragement.
As you consider these foundations of christianly thought, you may want to test yourself and your platoons. How much of your thinking is contextualized and guided by a Christian mindset? Calculate a percentage; give yourself a grade.
Supernatural orientation: The Christian mind sees human life and human history held in the hands of God. It makes decisions in the context of eternity. It considers physical life as the smaller subset of Creation. It recognizes the existence of Heaven and Hell.
Awareness of evil: It is conscious of the universe as a battlefield between good and evil. It is aware and sensitive to the power and spread of evil upon the human race, beginning with mankind’s rebellion in the Garden. It recognizes that the world, and the powers of it, are in the grip of evil – an evil that manifests in three enemies: Satan and his hordes, the world and its systems, and the flesh with its carnal mindset.
Conception of truth: It recognizes the truth as: Absolute and uncompromisable; supernaturally grounded, not developed in nature; objective, not subjective; revealed, not constructed; discovered by inquiry, not determined by majority vote; and authoritative, not a matter of personal choice.
Acceptance of authority: It rejects rebellion – in all its forms – to willingly bow before the Sovereign God. It considers authority as estimable and something to pursue over one’s self, family, and friends. It understands the image and reality of loving authority – our Father in Heaven. It accepts surrender as the door to relationship with God, and giving preference for relationship with the brethren.
Concern for the person: It considers the human person as the only being created in the image of God. It appreciates the value God placed on the person – in Him becoming one. It values people above machines, and is wary of the life those machines provide for, and force upon, society. It embraces love for one another – and the same for enemies – as Christian distinctives. It rejects the classification of people based on temporal criteria, while recognizing that the weak are to receive particular attention.
Sacramental perspective: It recognizes the omnipresence of God in all of life, and the desire of God to make life joyful and rewarding. It looks for God and His influence in nature – and particularly in the creatures of His image. It appreciates the desires and longings and the hopes and dreams that have been deposited by God in every person.

Did Jesus Christ die, suffer, and sacrifice so we wouldn’t have to?
Why Should We Think about Thinking?
Approximately ten years ago, I attended a lecture on the physiology of the brain – at a workplace leaders’ conference. What was I doing at such a lecture? What was such a lecture doing at a workplace leaders’ conference? God orchestrated that lecture, at that event, for my edification and encouragement.
The presenter showed us how scientists observe physical changes in the brain of patients recovering from alcoholism; that new electronic pathways are created over time. It occurred to me that this research scientist was talking about the renewal of the mind. I came to understand that the renewal of the mind is as much a supernatural miracle – at the physical level – as the healing of terminal cancer through prayer (something I have also witnessed). The notion captivated me.
This discovery connected well with my prior vocation, where I worked with a team of enterprise architects to change the way banking executives thought about the use of technology. Our ultimate purpose was to transform their business with technology. We called this “changing their paradigm”. The analogous term in Scripture is “mindset”; others prefer “worldview”.
Whatever you prefer to call it, I spent more than a decade in the technology field proving that changing someone’s paradigm is much easier said than done. As promising as technology was to their bottom line, the executives I worked with resisted us religiously. Why? Because it required them to change the way they did business – to transform their thinking about work.
The ensuing twelve years of workplace ministry have proven that the mind’s resilience to change exists in every sphere – no less with my brothers and sisters in Christ. This is lamentable; for our transformation into the image of the glory of the Lord requires the renewal of our minds (Romans 12:2; 2Corinthians 3:18).
Over the years, this matter of the mind has become increasingly important to me. I have tried to make it important to others. And so, we’ve come to the writing of this short thesis and study – to encourage and help Christians think about the way we think, and to empower them to think in line with God’s prescription for the renewing of our minds. | 2019-04-20T20:15:18 | https://inlightadventure.blog/category/an-enemy-lies-within/ |
With Future Fictions, Z33 continues the debate about our future, exploring how contemporary artists, designers and architects relate to future thinking and imaging: from mapping, questioning and criticizing, to developing complex visions about the structures and systems that may shape our life in the future.
Z33 wishes to draw attention to what future thinking and imaging can be. Not pretending to know what our future will be, nor which inventive solutions will solve our present-day problems, we rather aim to explore a set of different visions/fictions that artists, designers and architects put forward using different methods and tools for future thinking and visualizing.
In doing so, Z33 wishes to shift the debate away from what is possible, plausible and probable towards what is preferable: Future Fictions therefore is essentially a project about ideas and ideals, about dreams beyond hope and fear.
Can we learn to critically assess the future visions presented? Which criteria would be valid in doing so? In other words, can we learn to become ‘future literate’?
The proposed visions/fictions presented aim to engage us both intellectually as well as emotionally in a quest to consider exactly what kind of future we might want. In this, we all have a role to play: ‘After all, the future still has to be made today.’ – Anne Galloway. | 2019-04-22T14:31:35 | https://artviewer.org/future-fictions-at-z33/ |

There is a recurring theme in the business world. Large companies are becoming bogged down with processes, are worried of investor confidence and their bloated management system is making it difficult for them to come up with innovative ideas. So what do they do? They gobble up smaller companies.
Take for example search-engine giant Google. I was recently speaking with a contact of mine who had just accepted a position as head of operations for Google Fiber in one of their test cities. In discussing his new opportunity he told me, “It’s like working for the biggest startup in the world,” a sentiment I’ve heard before about Google. But one that I doubt every time I hear it. They’re a company worth more $250 billion dollars. That’s not a startup. And it doesn’t act like a startup. In fact, they act like a giant company that eats up smaller companies to gain their innovations.
So for those entrepreneurs thinking they can just sit back and let their business run its course, here are a few reasons why you should be constantly thinking about innovation.
It is necessary for survival. Small businesses and startups are the breeding grounds for innovation. Unhindered by the same tethers that hold down big businesses, these companies are able to innovate in ways that their larger counterparts cannot. In fact, innovation is a necessity for small business. They don’t have the financial means to accomplish many of their goals, and thus they have to find creative means to an end.
It has dollar signs all over it. Small business owners and serial entrepreneurs who understand the relationship between big business and innovation are able to exploit it to achieve some awesome financial success. Understanding pain points of larger businesses, creating an innovative solution and then developing that solution into a scalable product will undoubtedly attract the attention of larger companies. This can result in company buyouts, leases, licensing agreements, or partnerships that provide financial windfalls for the small business.
Big corporations are constantly on the hunt for smaller startups that can fill a void. They not only look for innovative solutions but also companies that already have a strong presence and have scaled.
Startups and small businesses are the heart that beats the lifeblood of innovation through the business world. And they should be celebrated for their contributions. As an entrepreneur, innovation should be the first thing on your mind when you wake up and the last thing on your mind when you go to bed.
And no matter why you innovate, you can rest assured the business world will take notice. | 2019-04-23T21:51:17 | http://www.rbex.ro/en/business-brokerage-and-advisory-services/Innovation-Small-Businesses-Live-It-Big-Businesses-Buy-It |
Street lighting may soon become safer, less expensive and more energy efficient under a proposal to lease LED street lights to replace conventional bulbs throughout town.
Department of Public Works Director Bill Chenard told selectmen this week that he is working with Arlington, Chelsea and possibly Woburn on a program to replace conventional bulbs with more efficient LEDs, or light-emitting diodes.
Natick would own the bulbs and be responsible for maintenance, but use the lease as a financing mechanism. The lease would allow workers to install the bulbs in 2,250 of the town’s 2,400 street lights by the end of the year, helping the town to secure a $143,000 grant from NStar that might expire if the lights are not installed, Chenard said.
Town Administrator Martha White said Thursday the town may eventually convert the 10-year lease to a bond, depending on interest rates.
White praised Chenard for being on the forefront of a movement toward LED technology, working with NStar to create a lower hourly charge for the LED street lights than for conventional lighting.
Chenard said the LEDs are estimated to pay for themselves in six years and last up to 10 times longer than traditional lights.
"This is a win, win, win," White said.
Some of the lights not covered under this plan already have LED bulbs. The town first experimented with LED street lights four years ago, Chenard said.
Through the partnership with the other communities, the changeover is expected cost less than $400 per light including installation, compared to more than $800 per light excluding installation costs under previous estimates, he said.
White said by banding together the communities can take advantage of bulk purchasing.
LED lights also improve safety, making it easier for drivers to see pedestrians and cyclists and police to read license plates, Chenard said.
"What we have out there now is poor color … light," he said. "They’re yellow. They’re all over the place."
Selectmen Chairman Paul Joseph said the program seems to make sense for many reasons.
"This sounds like no-brainer," he said.
The lease is expected to be before Town Meeting in October. | 2019-04-25T06:45:48 | https://www.metrowestdailynews.com/x1632291831/Natick-looks-at-LED-street-lights |
The Piebald Hamster is also known as Spotteds and Harlequins. The Piebald Hamster was the first mutation to be discovered.
There is an irregular pattern of white spotting scattered over the entire body with a characteristic white blaze on the face. The amount of spotting varies from almost none to more than 51% of the body surface. The eyes are dark except if located inside a white fur area; this causes the eyes to be pink.
Hamsters with one pink and one dark eye are possible. The Piebald Hamster may also have black or gray ears. Unfortunately, sometimes congenital deformities, accompany this gene which is recessive.
Currently, these types of hamsters are very rare to find.

I really wanted to thank you for making the trip so worry free for us.
From the minute we started to communicate with plans , it just became less and less stressful for me.

Aloha. This is an extra exciting time as we’re almost at the blood red full moon / lunar eclipse on Monday-Tuesday April 14-15th, then International Cannabis Day and Easter Sunday combined on “4-20”, April 20th, then sentencing for Share and me on Monday afternoon April 28th, the same day as the solar eclipse. A very rare and hopeful astrological Grand Cross is due in the heavens from April 20th through April 23rd. How good can these times get?
Last week the U.S. Sentencing Commission unanimously passed a change in sentencing ‘guidelines’ that will reduce most federal drug sentences by a few months beginning November 1st. It’s reported that they will soon meet to expand the sentence reduction to being retro-active. We’ve heard that Share might get to benefit from this positive change with a small reduction in her potential prison sentence.
The Department of Justice has been working with Congress to pass a major reduction in mandatory minimum sentences for most drug crimes. The proposal is to cut the sentences in half, or more. The law passed its first vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee a few months ago. I’m still facing a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years. If and when this correction happens, a 5 year mandatory minimum sentence will be reduced to a 2 year sentence.
= 6 months left. Official release date is October 8, 2014.
I’m told that I could be released to the halfway house in Honolulu any time after April 28th. After living there for a few months I could be released to home sometime this summer, maybe in time for my 65th birthday on June 15th.
We’re hoping and praying that Share gets probation and zero prison time as her sentence, or better. Part of her conditional plea agreement is that she gets to stay free at home until all of our appeals are heard in the Ninth Circuit Court in San Francisco next year, and / or the U.S. Supreme Court after that, if necessary. If and when we win our appeals we get our sentences overturned and we win our case; our cash and stash and our condo in Hilo gets returned to us.
This is the time of measurable positive change for “we the people”, and especially for the Cannabis culture. We give thanks for our blessings and for having many of our prayers answered.
P. S. Do you know about the “elixir of vitality”? It’s possibly the healthiest drink on Earth. Take a SEEDED Cannabis flower top ‘bud’ and grind it up with whole organic milk. Cannabis is fat soluble and needs the milk fat to dissolve and get active. Strain-out the pulp and drink the ‘Green Milk’ fresh. Simple as that. See LEAF on YouTube.com and Cannabis International for information on juicing Cannabis leaves and buds with carrots.
P.P.S. Do you know the “baking soda cure”? See [ www.PHMiracle.com ] for details.

The staff at MediQuest are professional First Responders with many years of experience in responding to medical and other types of emergencies. This experience has taught us that the most successful outcomes arise from the quick action of bystanders at the scene of the emergency, particularly when a sudden cardiac arrest occurs.
With this in mind, MediQuest is focused on providing simple procedures and equipment for on-scene responders to provide the treatments that will result in the best outcomes for injured individuals.
Cardiac Arrest kills more people each year in North America than any other single cause. More than 1,200 people die each day from sudden cardiac arrest. Sadly, more than half of these people die because the necessary life saving treatment (defibrillation) is not provided quickly enough. Technology is now available for on-scene bystanders to administer this life-saving treatment with minimal training and virtually no chance of making a mistake in the treatment.
In addition to basic CPR training, the only other piece of equipment needed to save many of these lives is an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Like fire extinguishers, these devices should be placed for easy access and quick response to this common medical emergency. If this quick response was available throughout Canada more than 20,000 lives could be saved this year.
MediQuest is dedicated to saving as many lives as possible. We have partnered with many organizations including Sandoz Canada, London Drugs, the Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome Foundation of Canada, and the Gianfranco Giammaria Memorial Society to promote the awareness of sudden cardiac arrest and its treatment.

Don’t put in very much time and effort.
Watch their actions and your feelings.
It’s like being a car salesperson and believing every person who test-drives a car is going to buy one. Some people just like test driving cars. They ask lots of questions. Take pictures. Talk about financing. Then they never come back.
You are not a car. You are a wonderful human. You do not have to sell yourself. However, you do have to show some of who and what you are made of. You have to be you.
Just like this other person has to show who they are. If their brand is about finding women to chase them around while they refuse to commit, then you will see that.
So I would not invest very much time and effort in someone who was not asking you to invest time and effort.
Stop and wait and see.
One date cannot tell you what you need to know about a human. You need lots of dates. But you should not be investing time and effort.
And then you need to feel your feelings. Are you trying too hard or desperately needing his attention or do the good vibes flow both ways? I am not saying it won’t be heart-wrenching.
I had an adorable, awkward conversation with my now fiance because he wanted to make sure that I liked him back. I was giving all the go signals, but not totally throwing myself on him (like apparently, a million other babes were).
He asked. I answered. And we talked every day. And from that day I never had to ask where I stand with him. He tells me and shows me.
He mentioned being exclusive first.
He mentioned taking down his profile first.
I was patient and kept dating (which sucked because I literally could not even think about being with anyone else after our first date) until he said the words to let me know he was worth the time and effort. And then he kept doing it.
Ok so actually, new answer. If you have to ask, the person is not worth it. Gut check. Flaky, vague, asshats are not worth it. Find someone who shows up every day and lets you know they care. | 2019-04-18T16:23:00 | https://imagedatingcoach.com/dating-q-a/how-can-a-person-identify-if-the-person-she-is-dating-is-worth-the-time-and-effort/ |

one of the practical skills essential to attain a good career. Body language is non- verbal communication, meaning that you communicate through facial expression and eye contact to be but a few examples. Why good sleep is really important for good health?

Our mouth is the next most important thing. You can distinguish whether they are bored, interested, or if they are being dishonest. This will encourage your superiors and peers to create a positive impression about you. Sleep is not only important for grown up individuals and people who go to work; rather it is also very essential for small babies and children in their growing up years as well.

Notting Hill Carnival was fun- shock!
In case you didn’t notice, Notting Hill Carnival happened this weekend and everyone had a good time!
Or the ring of steel put round the carnival that made Europe’s largest street festival rather hard to get into. I am sure there were arrests and trouble somewhere, but not where I was dancing!
Instead of marring Carnival, Grenfell made it. I didn’t make the minute’s silence on the Sunday, but I was there at 3pm on Monday – it was moving. A lot of people wore green.
What was more moving is that despite the large police presence, the sweltering heat (the hottest late bank holiday on record) and the usuals (booze and blues), this was as friendly a Carnival as I have known!
I was up the Harrow Road end, cycling around because I have a bad leg. Everywhere I went , I saw nothing but fun and smiles- and a few running repairs!
The masquaraders were out in force!
The boys were on tour!
and the music was as loud as ever!
As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I’m not from the Caribbean, but I was made to feel like I was – thanks to everyone who shared their carnival!
The day before, my boat passed through Reading and I watched the festival-goers queuing to get into that event. I am sure it was amazing too, but I couldn’t help noticing that the tickets had a big number on them with an adjacent pound sign!
The Notting Hill Carnival was free – and safe – and loud – and it had ten times the numbers of Reading/Leeds.
For which, the Carnival will get little publicity this year – but deserves infinite praise!
I’ve been sent the following press release which says much the same thing!
“On behalf of the Committee I’d like to applaud the London Notting Hill Carnival Enterprises Trust Ltd (LNHCET) and the Metropolitan Police for honouring the memory of those affected by the Grenfell Tower fire, while celebrating the largest street carnival in Europe this weekend.
Notting Hill is visited by over a million people and the Committee recognises the challenges involved in delivering an event that is safe and enjoyable for those attending.
Having previously raised concerns about public safety, we are pleased to see the number of arrests for offences such as drugs and weapon possession have fallen. There is still more to do to make Carnival a safer and better experience for all, and we look forward to hearing how the LNHCET, the Mayor, and other partners will continue to work towards this, so that Carnival’s success, rather than crime and disorder, becomes the headline story every year”.
Steve O’Connell AM, Chair of the Police and Crime Committee, is available for interview – see contact details below.

Good question, and I get it a lot. And most recently from Lori L.
…homemade cultured dairy usually lasts longer than anything you could purchase at the store.
How long, though? It depends on whether you're keeping it at room temperature, in the fridge, or in the freezer.
I'll share the answer below — it's the topic of this week's #AskWardee.
How long can I keep homemade kefir in the fridge?
Lori, you're asking just about the fridge, yet I'm going to include timing for all storage methods (room temp, fridge, and freezer).
Basically, that's the timeline for how long kefir lasts.
Notice I put “or longer” after the fridge and freezer specs.
Kefir can technically last longer than the official timelines suggest.
In the freezer, the biggest issue with kefir “lasting” is freezer burn. (Plus, there may be some loss of probiotics.) Freezer burn doesn't taste great, as you probably know. To fend this off as long as possible, double or triple bag your frozen kefir or consider vacuum sealing it.
Homemade yogurt and other cultured dairy have similar timelines for how long they last.
If you haven't yet grabbed my Free Raw Milk Yogurt Recipe, please do! There's a secret ingredient that keeps it thick instead of runny. Plus, it's faster and easier than most recipes — and you can make it with pasteurized milk, too.
Free Yogurt Recipe — it's faster and easier than most recipes, and you can make it with pasteurized milk, too!
Many of these probiotic salad dressings are made with kefir!
How do you store your kefir? How long does it last for you? What do you do with it if it gets too strong?
I’m new to this so question is what to do with kefir grain when I store the curds and whey in the frig? I know I can make more but can only eat so much as I’m the only one eating this.
You’re doing the main ferment in the fridge?
Yeah, the fermentation is quite long, since I leave it in the fridge for a week and only then strain the kefir and change the milk.
Lactose is not an issue for me.
I was just worried about the grains, if they could start dying or something since they are in the fridge all the time.
Or longer . . . .
Last week, I found some Kefir in the back of our refrigerator – from early December! It smelled, well, quite strong and a tad bit alcoholic. But not at all in a bad way! I tasted a tiny bit and it was surprisingly quite good; we’ve used it for “sparkling” smoothies since.
Hi, I I’m off for two weeks soon so I was wondering how to keep my Kefir alive meanwhile. Thanks for the advice.
You can store your kefir grains in the refrigerator. Be sure they are covered in fresh milk.
After i add the kefir grains to milk ? What is the minimum time i can consume the milk??
The milk kefir should culture for 24 – 48 hours after the kefir grains are added to the milk. | 2019-04-18T16:58:59 | https://traditionalcookingschool.com/food-preparation/how-long-does-kefir-last-aw060/ |
This summer will be Cait’s first summer at FLC. Cait worked at Bonnie Brae, which is a residential treatment center for at-risk youth boys. Every summer, Bonnie Brae rents out FLC and Cait fell in love with FLC the minute she pulled into the driveway. Cait was a part of the recreation department at Bonnie Brae and tried to spend every moment at the waterfront!
Cait is from New Jersey and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in education and leadership at St. Lawrence University in upstate New York. While pursuing a degree at St. Lawrence University, she is also the assistant softball coach at the university. Before St. Lawrence, Cait attended The College of New Jersey and received a degree in women and gender studies with a minor in sociology. She is very passionate about helping others and is interested in finding different ways to motivate others to achieve their goals. She is very excited to find unique ways to motivate everyone at camp!
What am I looking forward to this summer?
I am thrilled to take on the role of head counselor at FLC! This is a new and exciting chapter in my life and I am ready for the challenge. I am excited to build strong and healthy relationships with staff and campers. I am looking forward to having fun at camp and adding some flavor to the FLC experience!
This summer will be Caroline’s 10th summer at FLC. She has been to camp as both a camper and counselor and is thrilled to return this summer as a Head Counselor on Girls’ Camp!
Caroline is from New York City and currently studying history at Wesleyan University in Connecticut. She is passionate about social justice issues and is pursuing a certificate in civic engagement along with her degree. She also works with a number of international and local nonprofit organizations that focus on refugee-related issues, assisting in areas such as tutoring, legal aid, and resettlement. She has learned a lot about open-mindedness, gratitude, respect, and community from this work and hopes to bring these values with her to camp!
Last summer Caroline led the LIT program on Girls’ Camp in addition to taking photos for the camp website, end-of-session slideshows, and social media pages. When Caroline is not looking out for her campers and staff on Girls’ Camp she is teaching fitness zumba, creative writing, and lacrosse. Caroline brings an infectious laugh, a deep respect for others, and an incredibly strong work ethic to all she does. FLC is fortunate to watch her grow as a respected leader at camp. Caroline is looking forward to another summer of adventure, community, and fun!
Why do I return to FLC?
Camp has opened me up to an incredible community all over the world. It has taught me communication, organization, and leadership skills that carry me through the off season, and it has helped me build confidence and empathy. Most importantly, it has connected me to people, places, and perspectives that would not otherwise be on my radar. I love the Adirondacks and everything about camp! | 2019-04-22T20:02:33 | https://forestlakecamp.com/meet-flcs-girls-camp-head-counselors/ |

While I know that small town living doesn't agree with everyone, for me, our life here is just about perfect. I grew up in the city and I always felt a sense of disconnection. The pace of city life moves so quickly and while there are people who find a sense of community in their neighbourhoods (my parents being two), that never worked for me. The tightness of a small town that disagrees with some, agrees totally with me. On days like the day of our town Santa Claus parade, I feel that very keenly.
I am a total sucker for hokiness and our town parade has that in spades. There are no fancy floats - most floats are either groups of kids from one club or another, a church group sitting in the back of someone's pick up truck, a few animals, a few local politicians and of course, the Shriners always come with their train car. For the little boys, the firetrucks are always there and we have some companies in town that have some pretty cool vehicles (like Pk's friend's dad who has an environmental assessment drilling company who draw the Cub Scouts in his machine that looks an awful lot like a tank. The local pipe band with about 20 very old and decrepid looking pipers also comes along. I love every second and most years, I end up in tears. There's just something so beautiful about simple people getting together, doing their best and having fun. LB was with the Beavers who rode on the back of a farm trailer covered in tree branches (and I thought that LB was trying to kill someone with a branch but he has assured me that he was "being a Christmas tree.") We saw lots of friends, we got to wave and say hi to people in just about every float or group and mostly, it was just a lot of small town fun. At the end of the parade, there was a table with hot chocolate for all of the participants and there were hot dogs and Santa at the community centre. It was awful and lovely and reminded me of exactly why I chose to live here and that I have been planted in just the right place for me! | 2019-04-18T12:47:09 | http://pippasmum.blogspot.com/2016/12/advent-week-1-saturday.html |

I’ve got about 12 low flow emitters in my yard to water some potted plants. All work off the same sprinkler valve. After I adjust for the correct amount of flow for each emitter, the flow diminishes after a few days and then there is virtually no flow. To get everything working again I need to remove the caps, manually open the water valve and let air out of the system. Once water is flowing again I can adjust the flow rates again. This “air in the system” issue seems to be never ending. How do I prevent this?
As it stands now, when I go away on vacation, my plants are dead when I return home.
What you've described is fairly common with the adjustable emitters.
They have them at the Home Depot. Note the different colors have different gallons per hour. | 2019-04-26T04:04:49 | http://sprinklertalk.com/wbb/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=23528&s=f02f1defedb13ba005401ac19c98c273e94422b2 |
New Delhi, Feb 14 (PTI) Former finance minister P Chidambaram on Thursday slammed the CAG report on the Rafale deal as "useless", saying the institution has allowed itself to become a "joke".
New Delhi, Feb 14 (PTI) Former finance minister P Chidambaram on Thursday slammed the CAG report on the Rafale deal as “useless”, saying the institution has allowed itself to become a “joke”.
“The CAG allowed itself to become a joke and an honourable government in future will restore the prestige and credibility of the institution,” Chidambaram said “If you thought those 33 pages will bring to light the hidden aspects of the deal and explain matters relating to numbers, pricing, delivery etcetera and comment on correctness and propriety of transaction, you will be disappointed,” he said.
It also pointed out that certain India-specific enhancements in the new deal were “not required” and the Ministry of Defence overruled the Indian Air Force’s proposal to reduce the number of these enhancements. | 2019-04-20T18:52:32 | https://www.india.com/news/agencies/cag-has-allowed-itself-to-become-a-joke-chidambaram-3574072/ |
In 2010, after several years teaching at-risk students at a Montreal high school, Melissa directed the documentary Les poings serrés about young people who find hope in the boxing ring (Radio-Canada/RDI). She then co-directed 1 day, 24 hours, 34 million lives, a documentary that highlighted the 70th anniversary of CBC/SRC, and several factual documentaries for the television series Tout le monde dehors! for Télé-Québec. Due to her privileged relationship with teenagers, Mélissa was invited to direct the docudrama series Intimidated (Canal Vie).
Melissa is currently completing production on the multi-platform documentary Police Académie, which follows police officers-in-training (Radio-Canada/RDI 2015) and writing and researching the documentary Ecstasy (Télé-Québec).
Christine Doyon graduated from UQAM’s film program in 2008. Although Christine was first introduced to documentary filmmaking through her studies in Art History and Visual Art, it was Pierre Perreault’s Pour la suite du monde and the work of Agnès Varda that seriously diverted her attention towards documentary filmmaking. Christine started out as an editor before co-directing her first feature length documentary Farewell Dear Lou. Documenting unspoken realities through explorations of the human spirit became the underlying theme of her first two films. Her second film, Welcome to Our Home, gives us a profound insight into the daily lives of people struggling to survive in a small fishing village in New Brunswick. The authenticity, complexity and absurdity of peoples’ different realities has become her point of creative exploration. Christine is currently writing her third documentary, L’envol, about violence in teenagers.
Montreal filmmaker Isabelle Darveau graduated from UQAM's film program in 2008 and went on to edit a dozen short films and feature length documentaries. Isabelle has dedicated herself to independent productions that allow her to develop her narrative voice. Her success as an editor led to the co-direction of her first film, Farewell Dear Lou, an intimate and tender portrait of a couple struggling a losing battle against brain cancer. Isabelle’s second feature, Welcome to Our Home, contrasts a small Acadian village with a massive film production using the town as its backdrop.

The poster I designed for the July 2nd, 2009 “Yes and Asia” concert at The Warfield in San Francisco was a great success. Between sets, Chuck Sperry (The Firehouse Kustom Rock Art Company’s master screen printer) and I were escorted backstage to meet famed Yes and Asia album cover artist Roger Dean. When I asked him if he liked the poster (which was inspired by his art), he jokingly said, “Dennis, It’s so good, you should be shot.” Everyone around us burst out laughing. Then Roger took Chuck’s ink stained hands in his and remarked, “The English painter Turner said, “You have only to look at the hands to see who is a real artist”.” Roger invited Chuck and I to hang out with him the following day at the “San Francisco Art Exchange” gallery near Union Square.
 He was having an art show in conjunction with the Yes and Asia concert. I brought two copies of the poster for Roger. Chuck and I also gave him a few samples of our other poster designs. He looked at them all very slowly and carefully then said, “They’re all wonderful. Really rock & roll.” Roger then walked us through the gallery and explained the variety of techniques he used in his art. Later in a conversation in a back room of the gallery, he told us his favorite artist was Rick Griffin. He signed and drew in my copy of his latest art book, “Dragon’s Dream” and then actually singed Chuck’s copy of the “Yes & Asia” poster. I was stunned. Chuck now owns the only copy of this poster signed by both me and Roger Dean. Before we left, one of the gallery owners took a picture of the three of us together holding that poster.

Meeting with a financial advisor is a great way to take control over you financial future. Many people want to be financially independent but don't know what steps to take to insure that they get the most out of their money. When you meet with a financial advisor they will explain to you that one of the most important steps to becoming financially independent is getting out of debt. Here are some tips to use that can help you to get out of debt.
First you should allocate a certain amount of resources to your debt repayment. Then you should start by paying the minimum on all of the payments, except for the smallest. On the smallest loan you should put all of the excess money that has been allocated to debt repayment. For instance, if you have an extra $200 to go toward debts then you should put that toward the smallest debt,. Once the smallest debt is paid off, then you move onto the next smallest and put all of the excess money towards that. As you pay off debts you will have more money to put towards each payment. So by the time you get to your last and largest debts, you are making large payments each month.
This may seem like an obvious tip, but many people have a hard time staying within their budget. If you are serious about getting out of debt, then you need to learn to live within your means. For some people this means that they use a cash method. Instead of using a debit card to pay for all of their expenses, they have envelopes of cash that are assigned to certain things: groceries, entertainment, and so forth. Then once the cash is gone, it is gone. You no longer have money for those things so you have to do without. This will help you to see just how much money you are spending each month on certain items and will help you to stay in budget.
Earning a little extra money here and there will be the best thing for your debt repayment. If you have the chance to earn some extra money taking surveys, do it! Even putting down an extra $20 on a debt will make a difference in the long run and will shave time off how long it takes you to pay off debt.
By following these simple rules you can pay off your debt faster and be on your way to financial freedom. | 2019-04-20T13:01:15 | http://isoftlution.com/2016/07/19/3-tips-for-getting-out-of-debt/ |

In most leagues and tournaments, the referees receive direction and coaching and it is important that coaches of teams take opportunities to identify these trends.
For example, referees may be instructed to be strict in relation to player and coach behaviour, which may result in them calling technical fouls quicker than the teams may expect.
Accordingly, coaches should “scout” the tendencies of referees, taking notice of trends in how the game is being called. For example, are they strict or lenient in relation to “hand checking”, movement by screeners or contact with cutters off the ball. In addition to games that they watch or play, coaches can speak with other coaches about the tendencies of referees.
A better source of information though is the referees themselves and coaches should in particular use the “pre-game” meeting with referees to discuss any particular emphasis that they might have.
In a league season, the coach may be able to invite referees to a practice session (particularly in the pre-season) to referee a scrimmage, which again gives players and coaches the opportunity to observe how the referees are calling the game.
Finally, the coach can speak to whomever is in charge of the referees to discuss any trends in how the game is being officiated. | 2019-04-19T20:59:25 | https://wabc.fiba.com/manual/level-3/l3-coach/1-roles-and-values/1-2-working-with-officials/1-2-1-officiating-points-of-emphasis/ |

In a move that beats US rapper Kanye West’s 2009 snatching of Taylor Swift’s mic at the VMA, Arthur Lok Jack—the surprise discussant at last Wednesday’s UWI’s event—hijacked what ought to have been a significant national conversation about foreign direct investment.
Taking more than thirty minutes, Lok Jack berated the audience and spun tales that stretched and sought to establish himself as the prime mover and shaker of Trinidad business. The discussion never recovered. At the end, the public—including thought-leaders like Dr Winford James and Lloyd Taylor—had to beg for time to contribute.
Lost in the fray was Dr Bhoe Tewarie’s significant point that, in the social media age, communication is key to assuaging public expectations. His point that democracy now has been radically transformed because of the ability of many to voice their opinion was waylaid.
Ignored were Dr Vanus James’ valiant efforts to show that disclosure, due diligence and institutional frameworks are critical, should we seek to engage in public-private partnerships. His fate reemphasised that Dr Wayne Kublalsingh’s sacrifice in the ‘Point Fortin highway fiasco’ has been in vain.
We do not care about this unless it is not our party in power. Minister Stuart Young’s advice that the deal was dead and that we needed to look ahead was dismissed.
Instead, we lapped up easily researched hotel data as though Lok Jack was giving ‘inside scores’. He regaled us with stories about impressive linkages that the Sandals deal could have brought.
Nobody seemed aware of the Caribbean Hotel Association’s report detailing that 90% of guests in all-inclusive hotels never leave the property and that more than four fifths of the fish, fresh fruit and eggs used in hotels are imported from outside the region.
We made no link between that level of importation and the dominant role of a regional company called Rainforest Seafoods headquartered in Jamaica, which is owned by Brian Jardim—Butch Stewart’s eldest son.
Photo: A farmer looks after his crop.
While the food bill of a large hotel is considerable in the context of the local economy, we did not identify the challenges of shifting food sourcing to local farmers.
Sandals has a Farmers’ programme that does this in Jamaica, but it requires a strategic alliance with the Ministry of Agriculture and a distribution infrastructure. But we had no time to discuss this.
We apparently did not know—in the mind of the rambling Lok Jack—that the Government’s tax take on hotel revenues is 18%. How gullible we were in the premier place of higher education.
And Minister Young could not get us to understand what a MOU—a non-binding initial written agreement that defines the roles and responsibilities—is. We refused to appreciate that this is the first step in any negotiation, without which no serious person would begin talks.
Instead we wanted all the raw data without understanding the protection of trade secrets, confidential business information, processes and profit and loss applicable under commercial law.
Lok Jack’s breath-taking claim of the origins of the deal—he claimed it happened at his dinner table—which bore the appearance of privileged access, went unchallenged. The closest we got were the queries about whether Sandals was the best or only option.
Photo: Sandals hotel magnate Gordon ‘Butch’ Stewart.
Nobody questioned him, we accepted it as though it is the normal way to do business with public money. This is the heart of transparency in procurement and goes diametrically against Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley’s version.
Somebody is being economical with the truth. Is it acceptable because it is Sandals and our ‘premier’ deal-maker?
Lok Jack spun a tale of future deal-making and capital allocation commitments by public companies which would be used to induce the return of Sandals. If this is true, then it should have caused gasps of disbelief.
Neither CEO nor board ought to be cavalierly throwing our money like that. This is what brings losses to be borne by their shareholders. We chose to forget the disastrous 2014 hotel foray by GHL in Martinique.
Instead, there was a request from the audience for participation in the potential deal that was greeted with applause and some embarrassed laughter. The storytelling did not factor in that Sandals is probably the most disciplined brand in the Caribbean and does not need our money.
At this rate, Peter Permell will have much work to confront many CEOs and Boards as he seeks to rescue those eager ones.
The panel consequently never got the time to discuss the potential impact of a project like Sandals on the foreign exchange rate or the type of political relationships needed to effectively implement policies to promote growth and development.
Neither they nor the audience discussed the mechanism to move from the anaemic linkages of our School Feeding programme to feeding a large hotel, thereby building robust synergy within the economy. We never identified our capability gaps nor how they may be bridged.
Dr Vanus James’ point on how to improve oversight mechanisms got short shrift. Not once did we raise the possible multiplier effect arising from the hotel expenditure nor did we do scenarios around the control and domicile of profits and professional fees.
Our self-doubt discounted our internal capacity to build a brand like Butch Stewart has done. We snickered at the Rasta who raised that query—as though Stewart did not also have to start from somewhere.
We were enthralled by ‘Brer Anansi tales’ and it was not even a full moon night. The UWI must pull up its socks. This shameful episode did not help us to become better equipped to transform and diversify our economy.
Previous Dear Editor: If Lok Jack loves Trinidad farmers so much, why doesn’t ABIL employ them?
Cause Noble here talking ah pack ah ping pong.
NOBODY–was Noble in the audience?–fact checked that Dr Rowley stated on numerous occasions that this deal was germinated at a trade conference at Hyatt where he met Butch who was a feature speaker.
NOBODY fact checked that Doc also mentioned “the new trend for over water bungalows–we had that in there” in his 3 hour address but on TWO occasions Young and Stewart said that those plans were fake and “meen know where allyuh geh dat”.
NOBODY asked about how a CEC application for a 500-room hotel in 2006 could work as a placekeeper for a 1000-room resort in a different location.
NOBODY–including Indira Sagewan [she’s a realllly aggressive woman jed…weys sah! Somebody like that should be an MP! We would see real…oh? what’s that? she was? orr…♂️] could pelt out all them facts and figures about Hyatt, Radison, Hilton and yest still have zero % relevant data on the Sandals build.
Opinions are free but one needs to ground them in some form of fact. Let me explain that the talk about fish and fresh fruit is not incidental since we live in the Caribbean where we should have fish and fresh fruit to be used in a hotel but paradoxically they are imported for the guests who will not leave the compound. Reference the Caribbean Hotel Association report on linkages for the economy. The point? Not even what should be available is taken.
My comments were confined to the night in question. I am aware of both Afra’s and Mark’s contributions and they are valid but they were not in the audience (I was from start to finish) and yet in spite of what they have said, nobody in the audience raised those points to counter the spiel offered. Your point about the facts and figures is my point: ALJ spouted them as though they were applicable and never sought to contexualise them. We need Sandals but Sandals also needs us.
To get to a business arrangement of this magnitude and in the competitive situation that exists in the business, there has to be firstly a MOU – which should never have taken the time it took. In my opinion some funny business was afoot and Afra’s intervention most likely was a stumbling block. Dr. Rowley was unwise in discussing the specifics since there was no agreement in place. He should have learnt from the long time BWIA pilots who told you a flight to Barbados was an hour when they knew it was really 45 minutes and then told you ‘we brought you in ahead of schedule’. But we tend to over promise and under deliver. Butch Stewart has something to buy so he could dangle trinkets. He was on his own frolic to make you desire the product he had. Given this outcome, he can return and make more money having left since we will then be more desperate. Look out for the deal where the Government sells the land to private investors and therefore removes the headache we provided. But in the end, the few will win. Until then the sewer will empty into the sea.
I disagree with your assessment of our needs re the profile of a MP and personally was disappointed in her contribution since she was the head of our Competitiveness Centre. She should know better, rabble rousing is not needed at these times.
In all the business transactions I have been involved with which required a MOU (and of which there were four multi- million ones) there is always a placeholder that bears only passing relevance to the final package. What is put on the table is what we call in TnT ‘for argument sake’, meaning that there is a broad outline but the details are not disclosed until you sign and in some cases pay a premium for seeing the financial documents. It is at this point that the negotiations begin. But TnT took too long to move this forward.
In my estimation, Dr. Vanus James was the most pertinent contributor- we do not have the institutional framework for dealing with this type of opportunity. When you couple this to Dr. Tewarie’s point about the changed democracy due to social media you get to understand that we will be spinning top in mud until such a day that we resolve that problem. Sandals will not be the last one to slip through our hands.
I went to listen, not speak. One only learns when one is willing to open up to fresh ideas and when one is able to discover a sources for those fresh ideas.
The freshest thing on UWI that day was that SICK! Maybach….
ALJ spoke from his heart and head. As a journalist I welcome those rare opportunities to hear THAT MUCH from one of the elusive billionaires.
That TEDtalk from ALJ would have been more familiar to a Davos crowd than UWI.
Plain fact is that the talk never recovered because the audience came in woefully unprepared for dialog.
The vapidity of the current crop of UWI students–and the professors who lead that shallow flock [widdy zeen Roger Hosein?] spoke more to me than the long, awkward silences that followed each speaker [except Roger Hosein, cause we still waiting for he…].
An afternoon drive convo between a secondary-schooled radio DJ host and a caller would have got more audience feedback than those 200+ students and faculty were able to generate.
Trinidadians doh really know what they want and change for the better is usually accompanied by too much negativity and no meaningful alternatives. When they were widening the highway in chaguanas same nonsense with hulsie and them.
Thank you for your response. ALJ certainly spoke from his heart and maybe his head but he hogged the time (30 minutes of a planned 120 minute session as the opening contribution? All the other panelists appeared to have kept their allotted time which seemed to have been about 6 minutes) which was designed to have us discuss how we will handle foreign direct investment opportunities. This, in my mind, was not about Sandals as much as it was about how will we resolve the issue of foreign investment other than in the energy industry coming into our market. This is an important issue since our local capital is not invested in such large projects and where will we get employment?
I am not sure that ALJ’s free flowing, free of facts diatribe would qualify for Davos. You sell Davos short. Please visit their website. They are unrepentant capitalists but at least they argue a straight line. Unfortunately, I do not consider myself such even though I have operated successfully in that environment. My heart and loyalty rest with the people of my country and so I look at both sides and try to apply judgment.
But I agree with you that the audience was not up to the challenge…this is one of the points I made. They were under-prepared or inarticulate and therefore those who would have wanted to speak were forced to resort to shouting at the moderator to get time. The problem is not just the students it is the entire educational system from Early Childhood Education centers which results in The UWI being a farce. That is then complicated by the presence of some who lecture and who obviously had nothing to offer so that they can give up their time to the surprise discussant. More anon.
But we press on and hope that with time, the wheel will turn and we will look after ourselves and not expect others to do so for us.
Again… the man has spoken!
doh even let me start on ECEC here nah….
From these two replies–respec for taking the time to clarify and elucidate these vital points–I will retract the diss on the mixtapes.

We’ve been working on this screenplay for three years.
Between Ted and I, we’ve written 40+ screenplays and three novels.
Meeting the abductee and learning about the forces behind Ufo and Aliens Conspiracies fueled our desire to craft this script.
We like to get a lot of coverage and get as many eyes on the material as we are developing it. At the end of the day… that can drive any writer crazy but we used it to our advantage to see gage how are audience felt about the choices that were made in the screenplay. Finished movies do it all the time with audience testing. It gets every thing on its best footing before goes to market.
Ted and I are both filmmakers. We like to director as well. It’s something we both do with other projects that we develop separately and together.

Testimonials – Heal With Meal!
An overdue thanks, for your support during my relapse during September and October 2015.
It all started at the end of summer holidays and ended with October. What helped the most was narrowing down my diet to easily digestible foods, such as broth, vegetable creams, fish. As little oil as possible, peeled fruit and steamed vegetable. Bananas were a trusty companions. SCD works !!!
I removed nuts during acute treatment. What caused my problems was work related stress and occasional cheating of the diet. Sometimes it’s not easy. Folic acid and B12 supplements helped, too.
I traveled to USA at the beginning of October and it was quite difficult to find the food I needed, so I basically starved with only bananas and eggs for about 5 days. I had the dubious honor of witnessing dieting habits of the US with my own eyes.
Hang on tight and good luck to everyone who wants to start SCD.
Me and my wife have lost weight to a decent amount, that we maintain with SCD without starving at all. But most of all, our health has improved a lot.
Wife has no more left side pain, which I attributed to large intestine, no joint pain, no heartburn. These weren’t random issues, but ones that came daily, almost unbearable at times.
I had a check-up in June, and besides my cholesterol dropping from 8 to 5, Docent told me that my PSA markers dropped significantly, too. Next check-up is in 2 months or up to one year. Subjectively, I feel much better.
I am seriously starting to believe that health issues aren’t a thing of family history, but inherited life-styles. Today I suspect where my father made his dietary mistakes. He was quite addicted to bread, even when he always had cooked meals available. In his old age, he had Parkinson’s and prostate carcinoma.
My addiction to sweets and nightly bread eating ended up with starting SCD. We bake our own bread from nuts. Dough is ready within 5 minutes. Wife is incredibly creative when it comes to the meal preparation, so I personally, do not share the feeling of the carrot lady, which you described in one of the previous webinars.
Thank you for everything and if you ever travel around Stare Splavy, we will gladly welcome you. Ivana and Marcel Tesar, those who eat well and feel well.
I am enthusiastic, content and feel indescribably better than before SCD.
I am grateful you weren’t afraid and showed everyone the way by setting an example.
I have to admit, most people around me do not understand. Their most frequent question is: “So what DO you eat if you don’t eat bread or flour?”. I gladly answer every question. I take samples of SCD to my work. Everyone likes the taste, but then come the excuses… Co-workers: “…we don’t have time, if you cook for us, we will eat it! That SCD bread is really expensive…” and so on.
Even that I can answer now, my health is more important and valuable to me, than few extra crowns for ingredients which will be used to quality bread and more.
Also, I devised some tricks for my recipes (e.g. I don’t bake a loaf of bread, but 3 baguettes instead, each with different flavors) and I am really happy that today, I eat what I want and what I like with no guilt. Things that I avoided because of my environment (nuts are fatty, Parmesan is salty, fruits are sweet and ferment in intestines etc.). Today I eat it all when and how I want, I enjoy seasonal fruits and vegetables in summer and fall.
Sometimes, I take a peek at other people’s shopping carts when I am doing groceries and I feel bad about people spending their hard-earned money on chemicals that do not help and even hurt them further.
I wish you both all the best and stay in good health, Jana J.
First of all, I would like to thank that I was able to partake in your program. My good friend referred you. We are both interested in healthy life-styles, since I personally, have had problems with my stomach for some years now. First ulcers and now, allegedly hereditary, I am not sure what it’s called, but stomach is not creating microflora properly and is then not protected against acidic environment. Which means, if I don’t take my medications I get severe stomach cramps. Another consequence is bad metabolism (so says my doctor), which means I store all the fats.
I tried many different diets (even under medicinal supervision, which cost a lot of money) and I can say they worked to some extent, but then I put on much more weight than I had lost. After going through this course, or how should I call it “Heal with Meal” I had lost 10 kgs. And it really can be done without suffering.
I ride a bicycle and work on my cottage. If it wasn’t for summer holidays, when we had our grandchildren for three weeks with us, we traveled a lot, and during that time it wasn’t easy finding the right foods, I’m sure I would have lost even more weight.
Before I forget I would like to mention that my instep pain, that I have been experiencing for years, which was so severe, sometimes I couldn’t walk even with special footwear, had gone away entirely. Thankfully, this summer I could wear sandals even without padding that does not fit with them. That’s another piece of evidence to me, that changing diet is really beneficial and important.
I am very glad I got to enjoy and experience all this. Your recipes are very good. Not just ingredients, but taste, too! Thank God for your recipes and you. I benefit from them greatly. Some of the meals I personalize. It’s all very good, even my husband, although he eats anything, always enjoys these meals very much.
thank you for your interest. I have had 4 months of experience with SCD now. My issue is colon cancer, I am after a successful surgery, but have metastasis in liver and lungs. I decided to add an alternative treatment on top of the standard one, I use baking soda and maple syrup, and it was a good idea to leave out the sweet. So I removed all sugar.
Ever since then my results are only better, tumor markers are going down and CT results are 20% improved. Currently, my weight went down, blood pressure is stabilized, so I only use one pill a day.
I am very thankful for your help, it definitely steered me right in the direction of good health. I tried many of your recipes, especially the sweet ones, they are amazing!!
Keep your energy and determination in your next endeavors!
Best of health to you both!
Hello Mr. Radek, I am eternally grateful that I found you. Your help and advice were amazing, it didn’t take more than three days before I started noticing improvement. Pain that has followed me for years has disappeared. After such a long time of trying various medicines and products that cost a ton of money. All that had to be done was changing what I eat. My mood has shifted, I want to live again and I feel more energetic. Urine acid is gone, back pain I don’t even know what is. In the past I used to be fruitarian and exercised high yoga, and to you I am grateful that I found joy of life again.
It’s your case, you won over yourself, and that’s one of the hardest tasks a human can give themselves.
Good evening Radek and Marky.
I continue with my resolution to lose 20 kgs. I did reward myself for losing 10 kgs, but I am making up for it.
I report that my sugar is normal, I went for an hour and a half long hike and my legs were only a little bit tired. I know you might find this kind of description annoying, but perhaps someone else might find this helpful when coming to a decision about SCD.
I know that a fellow person’s happy result helped me decide.
Looking forward to your next videos.
I would like to thank you for providing all of the information about SCD.
I managed to get out of bed-ridden status, where I wasn’t even able to get dressed by myself. Joint pains, edema, inflammations, traveling all around my body, I used high doses of corticoids, but with no tangible results. I am on this diet for 14 days now, corticoids cut in half and I feel better by the day. Thanks to you I avoided hospital. Thank you very much and best of health to you.
I want to add my 2 cents. I have been on SCD for three months and I feel amazing.
At first I had troubles with gas, but even that has gone away now. After a year of spending almost all of my time on a toilet, this feels like an improvement for sure. I have been diagnosed with UC, which was still in acute phase in the summer. I faced hospitalization due to total exhaustion and serious anemia.
with gratitude and humility I want to say thank you. At the beginning of this month, I had no idea how great of a change will I be able to experience. That, what I always wished for, is becoming real. Food is out of my mind. I only send it in the best way to my stomach where it belongs. It’s a miracle to me, what I managed to change with SCD. Mood shifts are gone, overeating, too. My atopic eczema and mucous, 7 kg of overweight, all gone… and suddenly I am content, well-adjusted, my confidence went up, I can do more things in time, I value my body more, it’s beautiful how quickly my body reacted to the change, even though I tortured it for so long.
I vouch for everything SCD stands for, it is thanks to you that I feel all these things. And it can happen to anyone. Thank you for your work and depth of your study behind the science of this subject. Your recipes, your attitude and how you basically serve it all on a silver platter for us.
I think of you and Marky on a daily basis with gratitude.
I don’t want to waste big words, but that’s just how it is.
You cannot even imagine how happy I am, thanks to SCD. After so many years I finally feel more alive than dead.
Years of infections not only of the nervous system, neuroborreliosis and misdiagnosed multiple sclerosis. Massive joint ache, deathly exhaustion, paralysis… body was on its way out. In my young age I was on my way to a wheel chair.
Who hasn’t gone through similar situation will never understand how miserable I felt.
In my mind, I thank you daily, with all my heart.
I have been on SCD for 5 months and I already feel like a completely new person. And I know this will continue.
Sometimes I feel like shouting: DUDE, THIS IS SICK!!!
But I know you and Marky understand how GREAT this all is and I am jumping with joy.
And what followed was truly incredible.
At this point I only have minuscule symptoms, which don’t limit me anymore. Most of my problems disappeared quickly, no more headaches, my eyesight has improved, nothing hurts, no joint does. I stopped getting the paralysis attacks, I am active and I can do a lot of work from morning to evening and I even have a good mood while at it. Not even a sign of PMS, I can walk or exercise no problem. In this season, kids bring all sorts of bugs, and even a common cold used to result in me being out of commission for 2 weeks, I simply caught everything. Now, everything is different, while family lies in bed with fevers, I rest up in the evening, get some herbs to support the immunity and the next day, the bug is gone! While the immunity has been going down for years, now it works like a clockwork! It’s beautiful when you can count on your body, something I didn’t believe would happen to me ever again.
And one more thing, maybe just a small detail. I never had trouble with my weight, but my body has shaped nicely, thinner waist and my belly deflated a bit.
In the last few years, people kept telling me how good I look, that they couldn’t even tell I am sick. And I also tried not to be a victim and a pitiful person, so most people had no idea what kind of problems I have.
But I can tell you, I look completely different now than before. I’m in the mood to smile just because… and smile I do :-) It’s just how you said it in one of the videos, a person is high on the substances their bodies create themselves…And that brings a relaxed mood, almost a euphoria. Just, joy of life. Living makes me so happy, like never before.
Just todat I met an acquaintance of mine, who was taken aback how good I look. And this keeps happening! It’s awesome how seriously amazed people are!
And you know what else is really fun? Every illness has mental symptoms too, not just physical. Like relationship imbalances. Of course I have been working on this for years, but now with SCD, everything is so much easier. I don’t know how is it possible but I can absolutely feel I am stronger mentally and clearly see what is wrong and what needs to be done. I used to be too kind to everyone, and they made use of it, they drained me of my energy I don’t need to emphasize that is over. I made short work of few of these “vampires”. I will not tolerate a certain kind of behavior anymore. This diet changed something in my body, my mind and perception. Everything is clear. And I take action to right the wrong in my life.
Now I am just looking forward to what else will the SCD bring. Because so far, it just keeps going up. How high can it go? How long will it keep getting better? If someone told me this story, I wouldn’t believe… I’d say the person is a fanatic, crazy or fool, but now, day by day, when life keeps getting better, my body gets stronger, even my relationships are happier, all the while savoring great food. I want for nothing.
Thank you again and again, a thousand times for what you are doing. You are doing an amazing work. | 2019-04-23T22:51:33 | https://www.healwithmeal.net/testimonials/ |
The "Meridiano" dedicated to Andrea Zanzotto, great oracular voice of the Italian poetry of the twentieth century, includes his whole poetic work completed by about fifty pages of unpublished works that form the core of a new collection.
The section dedicated to prose comprehend not only the creative proses and the stories already published in Sull'Altopiano, but also an anthology of essays about poetry, never collected before in a volume, entitled Prospezioni e consuntivi, which testifies both the creativity of the poet and its commitment to contribute to the cultural debates of our time.
It's very remarkable also the extensive editorial work by Gian Mario Villalta and Stephen Dal Bianco, that, thanks also to the explanations of the author, allows the reader to enter into texts of great complexity. | 2019-04-24T16:37:34 | http://seps.it/en/libri/le-poesie-e-prose-scelte |
Have you wondered at the conception and formation of great story ideas? Then join me for a peek into the inner workings of author’s minds (scary stuff). Every author I’ve ever spoken to says that ideas come from everywhere. Not helpful for us sticky beaks who want the low down, so I dug a little deeper.
Natural curiosity is a given with authors, but it’s a skill that needs developing to get it to a point where topics are not only examined, but the branches of information that lead out from them are also followed. It doesn’t matter that the journey starts on a main arterial road, because authors are adventurers who don’t just want the tourist brochure experience. They want to detour down side roads to see where they lead — and might even take a few foot tracks too.
exploration. They embrace curiosity and allow it the freedom to meander wherever the most intriguing trail leads to uncover rare treasures of inspiration.
* Listening to what other people say. It’s amazing how much information can be garnered by taking in every word and asking questions. Don’t just smile and nod. If you are fortunate enough to come across someone who is an expert about a topic, be it surfing or training cats, then take notes. They’ll be thrilled that you’re interested.
* Eavesdropping and taking note of conversation topics, intonations, colloquialisms and street slang.
* Observing people is one of my favourite pastimes. Watching a discussion from across a crowded shopping mall can be enlightening. Body language reveals so much more than about the relationship of the conversers than mere words.
that my character has. It might be a moustache or dress.
* Visiting actual locations in the story, or even places that are similar to imaginings.
* Asking oneself questions about what is happening in a situation. Why do people behave that way? What do they hope to achieve? Where are they headed? All of these questions can be applied to any avenue of investigation and lead to the creation of characters and adventures.

Dr. Kelly Flanagan is a clinical psychologist and father known to millions for the letters he writes to his children and shares on his blog. LOVEABLE is written to the little one in each of us, who is all too ready to be reminded: you are enough, you are not alone, and you matter.
This book is wonderful! I highlighted this book all over the place because it is so good! This book will help you with deep wounds, pain and challenge you to go the hidden places that you've tucked deep in your heart where you don't want to go, but know you need to find freedom. As a social worker who has studied counseling, I felt like the author did a fabulous job of hitting topics in human behavior where anyone who has never studied this area would enjoy. Ultimately, this area will expose the areas in your life where you put up walls and help you knock them down to love people better. I truly enjoyed this book and Highly recommend it. I give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. A favorable review was not required.
Kelly graduated with his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Penn State University and is co-founder of Artisan Clinical Associates in Naperville, IL. Several years ago, he discovered writing was the thing he never knew he always wanted to do, so he began the now popular blog, UnTangled, where he writes weekly about how to live redemptive stories right now. Kelly is married to another clinical psychologist named Kelly, because they decided to make life even more complicated than it already is. The Kellies—as they are called by friends and family—have three children, and they have a deal with their kids: they teach the kids how to grow up, and the kids teach them how to grow young again. So far, it’s not clear who is helping who the most. | 2019-04-24T00:15:17 | http://www.runningthroughthestorms.com/2017/04/loveable-embracing-what-is-truest-about.html |

Most of us are aware of and have personally experienced the pre-K through high school system of education that serves our children.
We are all, arguably, much less aware of a third sector of education that quietly serves the millions of adults who have moved beyond secondary and post-secondary education and are now making their way through “the other 50 years,” that long stretch of life in which we are largely on our own to determine how we will continue to learn and grow.
It’s time that awareness rose. Dramatically.
We’ve seen this before. In the past, new technologies massively changed the way agricultural work was done, spurred the industrial revolution, and more recently, gave rise to the “knowledge economy.” Technology is at is again. There are few jobs that won’t be touched – and changed – by robotics and artificial intelligence. New and different jobs will emerge, but the shift will require workers to acquire new skills, and more importantly, new ways of thinking and a high degree of adaptability.
As economist Steven Rattner has put it, “technology is not the prime culprit behind our languid employment and income growth. That honor belongs to globalization, and particularly the ability of companies to substitute far less expensive and increasingly skilled labor in developing countries.” There is no reason to expect this trend to relent, regardless of whatever measures governments may attempt. The economic benefits to employers are just too large.
This point may just be a logical conclusion of the first two, but it’s a conclusion that is important enough to be worth calling out on its own. I’ve taken the phrase “jobs are over” from Heather McGowan’s excellent four-part series on the issue as I think it sums up the situation so well. In the U.S., we are increasingly a nation of freelancers and even those who do hold traditional jobs do not hold them anywhere near as long as their parents did – nor can they expect the jobs they do hold to require the same capabilities over time.
It’s no secret that we continue to live longer. It’s also no secret that retirement will be elusive for a growing percentage of the population, at least in the United States. Average U.S. life expectancy is hovering around 79 years right now. By 2030, it is expected to reach 90 years for females in most developed countries. The “other 50 years,” in other words, is getting longer, and most of us – at least in the U.S. – are going to need to be (and probably want to be) working during most of that time.
Those are just some of the biggest trends. Clearly, in an environment like this, there is a tremendous need for continual learning. Not all – probably not even most – of that learning will take the form of formal education and training, but certainly a large amount of it will. A key question, then, is who will provide it? How will this third sector of education be served in a way that helps to meet these challenges?
There are, and always have been, a range of players that serve the third sector, but options are proliferating, and they are increasingly fragmented and confusing. The market for adult lifelong learning is a patchwork of trade and professional associations, college and university community programs, community learning centers, free online courses of every type and quality level imaginable, info product pitches from self-appointed “gurus,” and a flood of videos, tweets, posts, and likes.
There may never be anything as cohesive as a “system” to serve the other 50 years, but surely there could be a more cohesive and coordinated vision.
It is possible to imagine, for example, a great deal more government focus on adult education, but so far that seems unlikely (and it has grown less so under the current administration in the U.S.). A McGraw-Hill Foundation report argued some years ago that adult education has traditionally been the “the poor step-child of the education system,” receiving less than 10 percent of the amount that goes to K-12 and less than 5 percent of the amount that goes to higher ed. Not much has changed.
It is also possible to imagine a strong working alliance among some of the major institutions that serve and/or have a major stake in the success of adult learners. Meaningful collaboration among, for example, the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE), the Association for Talent Development (ATD), the Conference Board, and the American Association for Adult Education (AAACE), could produce a strong vision for the direction adult learning needs to take and a coordinated plan for supporting the vision.
While there are occasional reports of collaboration between corporations and academia (and relatively fewer between associations and academia or corporations), a meaningful, ongoing alliance across major players in the adult learning market does not exist. Fortunately, the quiet work of serving the sector continues anyway, but it doesn’t take much imagination to see how much more impact we could be having in supporting adult learners in a rapidly changing world.
As my list above suggest – and as I have often said in my speaking and writing – I think associations, in particular, have a critical role to play, but that is mainly because, as institutions, they represent the great diversity of voices that need to be represented in developing a vision for adult learning.
Whether that happens or not, the third sector is there, and it continues to grow as a critical part of our economy and our future. | 2019-04-21T01:11:53 | https://www.tagoras.com/serving-educations-third-sector/ |
Suppose there are two online merchants both offering web hosting services on their sites. The first merchant offers a one-time commission type of affiliate program that pays for every single affiliate initiated sale. The second merchant also offers an affiliate program, but this time a residual affiliate program that pays only for every single affiliate initiated sale. As an affiliate, we may get attracted at once at what the first merchant is offering, as is definitely a lot larger than . But by thinking things over before actually getting into them, one may be able to see that the second merchant is offering us more opportunity to earn a larger amount of money. | 2019-04-26T16:36:40 | http://articles.whmsoft.com/index.php?get_videos_links=0&videos_subject=Marketing&identifier=39-article-6426.htm |
I’m nearly in tears writing this. No really. You’re one month already? Where did that month go? I feel like it was just yesterday that I was still pregnant with you wondering when you’d make your appearance. Wondering what you’d look like. Now I know! You have the most perfect little nose ever. You have my lips and I love it when you smile! Your face is adorable, even when you’re upset. I can’t get over how cute you are and that you’re all mine!
Things you love: momma and daddy snuggles, kicking, back time, napping, staring at faces, smiling, and bath time. You love to be clean, whether it’s bath time or just changing your diaper. You love it. I hope you continue to love that! You like it when daddy does bicycles to help you get gas relief (poor little one!). Life as a one month old seems pretty sweet to you!
Things we love about you: of course we love the snuggles! I love how alert you are and how you love staring at me. I love how you try to talk to me, but can’t, and only get a few sounds out. I love how you sometimes just need to snuggle to calm down. I love your smiles and how you smile at me when you realize it’s me. I love the noises you make. I love it when you start to wake up. Your eyes open and close and your face starts twitching. You smile occasionally. It’s the cutest thing! I love it when you laugh in your sleep. It’s adorable! Your daddy loves to come home from work and snuggle you. He loves telling you about his day and talking to you about yours. Your daddy really loves you and it’s so cute! I love that you can recognize my voice and face. I love being your momma.
Really, this month has gone by so fast. I really wish I could slow time down. Everyone warned me about how they ‘grow up too fast’. I believe them now. My little momma heart is so full and happy. I love being your momma and I love our family. You really made my heart grow bigger with love when I first saw you. You’ve changed my life for the better and I can’t imagine it without you. I am so excited to watch you grow. To teach you. To be there for you.
Grow, little one, and be healthy. But don’t grow too quickly. My little momma heart can’t take it. You’re amazing. I’ll love you forever. I’ll like you for always. As long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be. | 2019-04-25T04:36:08 | https://alydawnphotography.com/letters-to-my-little-one-1-month-old/ |

Meaning "move along, pass over" (a path, etc.) is attested from c. 1400; that of "track down, follow the trail of" is early 15c. Meaning "copy a drawing on a transparent sheet laid over it" is recorded from 1762. Related: Traced; tracing.
"track made by passage of a person or thing," c. 1300, from Old French trace "mark, imprint, tracks" (12c.), back-formation from tracier (see trace (v.)). Scientific sense of "indication of minute presence in some chemical compound" is from 1827. Traces "vestiges" is from c. 1400.
"straps or chains by which an animal pulls a vehicle," c. 1300, from earlier collective plural trays, from Old French traiz, plural of trait "strap for harnessing, act of drawing," from Latin tractus "a drawing, track," from stem of trahere "to pull, draw" (see tract (n.1)).

Purpose: The G98R mutation in αA-crystallin is associated with autosomal dominant cataract in humans. We have reported that mutant G98R protein has substrate-dependent chaperone activity. Further studies on this G98R mutant protein revealed that mutant protein shows reduced oligomeric stability and accelerated subunit dissociation at a low protein concentration. The purpose of present study was to investigate the chaperone function of dissociated subunits of αAG98R-crystallin.
Methods: Substitution of glycine with arginine at position 98 in human αA-crystallin was accomplished by site-directed mutagenesis. The recombinant protein was expressed in E .coli cells and purified by chromatographic techniques. Purified αAG98R-crystallin was diluted to a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml in 50 mM phosphate buffer containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 7.2) and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h. The monomeric subunits were isolated from the oligomers through 50 kDa cutoff filters. The monomers were analyzed by SDS–PAGE, mass spectrometry, and circular dichroism spectroscopy and characterized by multi-angle light-scattering methods. Chaperone activity was tested against four client proteins: citrate synthesis, alcohol dehydrogenate, bovine βB2-crystallin and ovotransferrin.
Results: Gel filtration studies showed that αAG98R-crystallin oligomers dissociate readily into monomers. Subunits of αAG98R-crystallin, isolated either by size exclusion chromatography or filtration showed chaperone activity against heat-denatured alcohol dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, bovine βB2-crystallin, and chemically denatured ovatransferrin. SDS–PAGE analysis of the mutant protein incubated at 37 °C for 12 days showed autolysis, which was confirmed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS/MS) analysis of αAG98R-crystallin fragments recovered after SDS–PAGE.
Conclusions: The present study shows that the G98R mutation in αA-crystallin produces unstable oligomers that dissociate into active chaperone subunits. The chaperone activity of the dissociated subunits against four client proteins suggests that the αA-crystallin subunits are the minimal units of chaperone activity.
α-Crystallin belongs to the family of small heat shock proteins (sHSP) and is composed of two subunits, αA- and αB-, which form heteromers and homomers with varying number of subunits . Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) analysis of a wide range of αA- and αB-crystallin oligomer concentrations, from as low as 5 μg/ml to as high as 5 mg/ml, has shown that such oligomers, although dynamic, do not dissociate into monomers under physiologic conditions . However, wild-type αA- and αB-crystallins have been found to dissociate into dimers and tetramers at <5 μg/ml concentrations . A detailed study on a truncated form of αB-crystallin, Q151X, has shown that this mutant dissociates into monomers at <0.1 mg/ml concentrations, whereas it aggregates at higher concentrations .
Like other sHSPs, α-crystallin prevents aggregation of denaturing proteins . It is well documented that both αA- and αB-crystallin subunits show chaperone activity . Many of the mutant αA- and αB-crystallins studied thus far have shown altered structure, aggregation propensity and varying chaperone activity. Several mutations in the α-crystallin gene have been linked to cataract . For example, an autosomal dominant G98R mutation in αA-crystallin, found in an Indian family, leads to pre-senile cataract in young adults . Earlier studies with recombinant αAG98R-crystallin revealed that the mutation affects the protein’s structure, stability and chaperone activity . In a previous study we showed that αAG98R-crystallin exhibits substrate-dependent chaperone activity .
αA- and αB-crystallin oligomers as well as the dimers have been found to exhibit chaperone activity . The evidence in support of this comes from studies where native oligomeric crystallins or truncated human αB-crystallin (αB 57–157), which exists as dimer, were used in chaperone assays . Those data suggest that oligomer organization is not essential for the chaperone property of α-crystallin subunits. We have shown that short sequences of αA- and αB-crystallin, representing the chaperone sites of native proteins, possess chaperone activity [12,13]. Chaperone activity has also been found in truncated αB-crystallin capable of dissociating into monomers . While we were characterizing αAG98R-crystallin protein, we observed that the αAG98R-crystallin oligomer readily dissociates into monomeric form. This gave us an opportunity to investigate whether chaperone function is an inherent property of full-length individual subunits of αA-crystallin. In the present study, chaperone function of dissociated αAG98R-crystallin subunits was investigated using citrate synthesis (CS), alcohol dehydrogenate (ADH), bovine βB2-crystallin, and ovotransferrin as client proteins. The results suggest that the dissociated subunits exhibit chaperone activity in a concentration-dependant manner.
Recent studies have shown that the majority of mutant crystallins form insoluble aggregates, nonspecifically interact with other proteins and precipitate, yet some mutants and truncated forms of αA- and αB-crystallins are less stable and form oligomers with increased polydispersity [4,14-18]. Additionally, one of the mutant α-crystallins, αBR120G-crystallin, was shown to undergo premature or accelerated degradation on storage . In the present study we show that although the mutant αAG98R-crystallin aggregates at high concentrations, at low concentrations the protein dissociates into monomers and undergoes autolysis on storage.
Human αA-crystallin cDNA (obtained from J.M. Petrash, Washington University, St. Louis, MO) was cloned into pET-23d (+) vector (Novagen, Madison, WI). This cloned cDNA was used as a template to generate mutation in the αA-crystallin gene using a Quick Change Site Directed Mutagenesis kit (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA) with a set of primers as described earlier . The G98R mutation was confirmed by automated DNA sequencing. Both mutant and wild-type proteins were expressed in E.coli BL21(DE3) pLysS cells (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and purified as described earlier . Briefly, bacterial cell pellets were obtained from 1 l culture, suspended in 10 ml lysis buffer containing 50mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 100 mM NaCl, and 2 mM EDTA, and treated with 50 μl of protease inhibitor cocktail III, 1 mg lysozyme, and 10 mM DTT. The cell suspension was treated with 1 μl of benzonase and incubated at 37 °C on a shaking platform for 30 min. The extract was centrifuged at 17,000× g for 1 h. The αAG98R-crystallin protein partitioned into insoluble fraction was washed and redissolved in 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.2) containing 6 M urea and 1 mM EDTA. The urea-dissolved supernatant was filtered and loaded into a Q-Sepharose Fast Flow ion-exchange column equilibrated with Tris-EDTA buffer. The protein was eluted using a stepwise gradient of 1 M NaCl in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.2) containing 1 mM EDTA at a flow rate of 1 ml/min. The wild-type αA-crystallin protein partitioned into the soluble fraction was initially purified on a HiLoad 16/60 Superdex 200 gel filtration column equilibrated with 50 mM phosphate buffer containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 7.2). The peak containing the wild-type αA-crystallin was pooled, concentrated, treated with solid urea (6 M) and purified using anion exchange column, as described for the mutant protein. The purity of the proteins was examined by SDS–PAGE and the molecular mass was determined by mass spectrometry. The concentrations of the mutant and of the wild-type proteins were estimated using Bio-Rad protein assay reagent.
Protein samples were injected into a TSKG5000PWXL (Tosoh Bioscience, Montgomeryville, PA) size-exclusion column equilibrated with 50 mM phosphate buffer containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 7.2). The flow rate was 0.75 ml/min. The size-exclusion column was attached to a HPLC system connected with UV and refractive index detectors (Shimadzu, Columbia, MD) and coupled to static multi-angle laser light scattering (DAWN-EOS) and dynamic quasi-elastic light scattering detectors (Wyatt Technology, Santa Barbara, CA). The data were analyzed using ASTRA (5.3.4.14) software (Wyatt Technology).
Purified αAG98R-crystallin mutant protein was diluted in 50 mM phosphate buffer containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 7.2) to obtain a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml. This solution was incubated at 37 °C for 24 h and passed through 50 kDa cutoff membrane filters (Amicon, Millipore). Filtrate used in all experiments was analyzed by size exclusion chromatography, as described above.
Dissociated subunits of αAG98R-crystallin mutant proteins were desalted using PepClean C18 column before mass spectrometry (MS). The protein bound to the PepClean column was eluted in 40 μl of 70% acetonitrile, dried on a SpeedVac, re-dissolved in 20 μl of elution buffer, and subjected to MALDI TOF MS analysis.
The chaperone activity of wild-type αA-crystallin and of the αAG98R-crystallin monomer protein was measured using substrates alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH; Biozyme, San Diego, CA), citrate synthese (CS; Sigma, St Louis, MO), βB2-crystallin, and ovotransferrin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO). The extent of aggregation was estimated by monitoring the light scattering at 360 nm using a Shimadzu UV-VIS spectrophotometer equipped with a temperature-controlled multi-cell transporter. Assays were done in the absence or presence of wild-type or mutant proteins as a function of time. Aggregation of ADH (75 μg) was induced by the addition of 100 mM EDTA in 50 mM phosphate buffer containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 7.3) at 37 °C. For CS aggregation assay, 75 μg of CS in 1 ml of 40 mM HEPES-KOH buffer (pH 7.4) was heated to 43 °C. CS aggregation at 360 nm was measured up to 1 h. During ovotransferrin aggregation assay, 100 μg of the protein in 1 ml of 50 mM phosphate buffer containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 7.2) was kept at 37 °C and allowed to denature. To investigate the effect of αAG98R-crystallin on βB2-crystallin, 150 μg of βB2-crystallin isolated from bovine lens extract was used. The aggregation assay was performed at 37 °C, as described earlier .
αAG98R-crystallin mutant protein (0.1 mg/ml) was incubated in 50 mM phosphate buffer containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 7.2) under sterile conditions for 0, 2, 6, and 12 days at 37 °C. Aliquots of these samples were subjected to SDS–PAGE and MS analysis. In addition, 250 μl of the sample was analyzed by size exclusion chromatography connected with MALS instrument. The data were analyzed as described above. Control experiments with wild-type αA-crystallin were run simultaneously with the mutant protein experiments.
Recombinant proteins were expressed and isolated following the procedure described earlier . Although the mutant protein expressed in E.coli cells forms inclusion bodies due to high in vivo protein concentration after urea solubilisation, purification and refolding at <2 mg/ml concentrations the recombinant protein remains soluble in assay buffers for several days to permit the characterization. On the basis of SDS–PAGE profile, both wild-type and mutant recombinant crystallins used in this study were >98% pure (Figure 1A). Size exclusion chromatography of mutant G98R protein at 1 mg/ml concentration gave an elution profile with an oligomer peak eluting at 9.5 min and a monomer peak eluting at 15 min, indicating the dissociation of oligomeric assembly (Figure 1B). In contrast, wild-type αA-crystallin eluted as a single peak at 10 min, corresponding to the elution time of αA-crystallin oligomers (Figure 1B).
After observing the dissociation of mutant protein during size exclusion chromatography, the following experiment was performed to isolate a sufficient amount of monomer protein for further study. Purified αAG98R-crystallin protein was diluted to concentrations of 0.1 mg/ml, 0.2 mg/ml and 0.5 mg/ml in 50 mM phosphate buffer containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 7.2). The diluted protein solutions were subjected to size exclusion chromatography. The elution profile showed an inverse relationship between the concentration of mutant protein and the degree of dissociation. Over 95% dissociation was observed when the protein concentration was 0.1 mg/ml (Figure 2A), whereas only partial dissociation occurred with higher αAG98R concentrations. Examination of the effect of pH on dissociation of αAG98R-crystallin mutant protein, at 1 mg/ml concentration, revealed about 70% dissociation of the mutant protein at pH 5.9. The precipitation of the mutant protein at higher concentrations did not allow us to fully evaluate the relationship between αAG98R-crystallin concentration and dissociation at pH 5.9 (data not shown). The dissociated subunits of αAG98R-crystallin were also analyzed by SDS–PAGE and western blot. The results showed that, in addition to a 20 kDa band corresponding to the molecular weight of αA-crystallin subunit, an additional band at ~11 kDa region was observed in immunoblots (Figure 2B). A corresponding protein band was not clearly visible, however, after staining with Coomassie Blue. When the immunoblot was analyzed using ImageJ software, the 11 kDa band was about 13% of the total. To investigate whether the 11 kDa protein band is a breakdown fragment of mutant protein or a contaminant co-purified with mutant protein, MALDI-TOF MS analysis of the 11 kDa band excised from the SDS–PAGE was performed. Trypsin digestion and MALDI-TOF MS analysis of the 11 kDa band showed peptides arising from both NH2- and COOH-terminal regions of αA-crystallin protein and accounted for 47% of the native αA-crystallin sequence, confirming that the mutant protein was the source of the 11 kDa band. Filtration of the 0.1 mg/ml αAG98R solution through 50 kDa filter separated the oligomers from monomers. This was confirmed by size exclusion chromatography of 50 kDa filtrate using TSK 3000 gel filtration column and using as standards BSA (66 kDa), carbonic anhydrase (29 kDa) and lysozyme (14.6 kDa). As shown in Figure 3, the Ve/Vo value for αAG98R-crystallin collected as filtrate during 50 kDa filtration was 4.29, which corresponds to a molecular weight of 19,500 Da, estimated using the elution profile of standard proteins – serum albumin, carbonic anhydrase and lysozyme.
To determine whether structural changes are present in dissociated αAG98R-crystallin subunits as compared to the wild-type protein, the subunits of the mutant protein collected by filtration were subjected to far-UV CD spectroscopy in Jasco J 815 spectropolarimeter. When the protein sample (0.1 mg/ml) was analyzed in a 0.2-cm cuvette, the spectrum of the monomer sample showed increased negative ellipticity at 208 nm, indicating that the mutant protein has increased α-helical content similar to that of oligomeric αAG98R-crystallin (Figure 4). The secondary structural elements of the monomer protein (α-helix 3.8%, β-sheet 41.3%, β-turn 22.1%, and random coil 32.8%) did not significantly differ from the structural elements of the oligomeric form of αAG98R-crystallin analyzed at the same time (α-helix 3.7%, β-sheet 42.4%, β-turn 22.5%, and random coil 32.5%). However, the secondary structural contents of the mutant protein in both monomeric and oligomeric forms slightly differed from that of wild-type αA-crystallin (α-helix 2.1%, β-sheet 41%, β-turn 22.8%, and random coil 34.1%) .
To investigate whether oligomerization is essential for chaperone activity of αA-crystallin, we performed chaperone assays using monomers of αAG98R-crystallin and the four different client proteins. Aggregation of CS. bovine βB2-crystallin, ADH, and ovotransferrin was measured in the presence and absence of αAG98R-crystallin monomers. Monomers of αAG98R-crystallin displayed chaperone activity against EDTA-induced ADH aggregation (Figure 5A). However, the dissociated subunits showed 25% less protection than the oligomeric wild-type protein (Figure 5A). CS aggregation assay showed that the monomers of mutant αAG98R-crystallin have chaperone activity at 43 °C (Figure 5C) and the activity was comparable to that of wild-type oligomer. αAG98R-crystallin monomers also suppressed the aggregation of denaturing ovotransferrin (Figure 5D) and βB2-crsytallin (Figure 5B). However, against denaturing βB2-crystallin and ovotransferrin, the mutant monomers showed 25% and 50%, respectively, lower activity than the wild-type oligomer. In all of the chaperone assays, the activity of αAG98R-crystallin monomers was concentration dependent. Doubling the amount of mutant protein in assays completely suppressed the aggregation of all 4 client proteins.
To examine whether stability of the protein in its monomer form is affected by the αAG98R-crystallin mutation, the recombinant G98R protein (100 µg) in 1 ml of 50 mM phosphate buffer containing 150 mM NaCl (pH 7.2) was incubated under sterile conditions in presence of protease inhibitor cocktail at 37 °C for 0, 2, 6, and 12 days. The aggregates formed were removed by centrifugation and the supernatant analyzed by size exclusion chromatography and MALS system. Prior to incubation, αAG98R-crystallin eluted as two peaks: one at the expected oligomer elution region and the other corresponded to the monomer size at 14.5 min (Figure 6A, green line). The non-incubated sample showed an average oligomeric mass of 2,250 kDa. After 2 days of incubation, the oligomeric peak was significantly reduced to a 420 kDa peak (Figure 6A inset). The 280 nm profile showed a decreased oligomeric peak and an increased monomeric peak, indicating that the dissociation of the oligomer into subunits occurred during 2 days of incubation. The samples incubated for 6 days and 12 days showed complete loss of oligomeric peak, probably owing to the precipitation of some of the oligomers, since αAG98R-crystallin is known to precipitate on prolonged incubation . The slight difference among the samples in the elution profile around 14.5 min is likely due to the interaction of breakdown peptides with the monomeric form of the protein. Samples incubated 0 to 12 days were also analyzed by SDS–PAGE without centrifugation to remove the precipitates (Figure 6B). The electrophoretic profile showed a breakdown of αAG98R-crystallin into several <20 kDa size protein bands. There was also some aggregate formation (specifically dimer) in the samples incubated for 2 and 6 days. In the protein sample incubated for 12 days, most of the protein had undergone degradation. The degradation of the protein was confirmed by MALDI TOF MS/MS analysis (data not shown).
A novel αA-crystallin mutation, G98R, is known to cause early-onset cataract . We and others have reported that the αAG98R-crystallin mutant protein forms larger oligomers of a polydisperse nature and exhibits lower thermal stability than the wild-type αA-crystallin. At concentrations below 1 mg/ml, the mutant protein begins to dissociate into a monomeric form. The monomers of αAG98R-crystallin can be separated from the oligomers by size exclusion chromatography (Figure 2A) or by filtration using molecular weight cutoff filters. Surprisingly, the oligomers of intermediate size (between1000 kDa and 20 kDa) were undetectable during gel chromatography (Figure 2A). We found that the dissociation of αAG98R-crystallin oligomer was maximal around pH 5.9. Under similar experimental conditions, the wild-type αA-crystallin did not dissociate into monomers. The findings of our present study confirm earlier observation that wild-type αA- does not dissociate into monomers under physiologic conditions but demonstrate that mutant form does dissociate into monomers at low concentrations. It is known that the truncated αA- and αB-crystallins form oligomers of various sizes [2,4,21,22]. NH2-terminally truncated αA56–173 and αB60–175 crystallins form dimers, trimers, and tetramers . In addition, the αB66–175 shows concentration-dependent changes in oligomer size. At 0.07 mg/ml concentration, αB66–175 elutes as mostly dimers and trimers, whereas at ~3.3 mg/ml concentration, the protein elutes as high-molecular weight oligomers . The myopathy-causing truncated αB-crystallin, αBQ151X, elutes from a Superose 6 column with characteristics similar to those of a monomeric state . Earlier it was reported that native α-crystallin at low concentrations (0.1 mg/ml) dissociates into monomers but this was contradictory to another study that showed no dissociation of oligomers. However, dissociation of α-crystallin into monomers has also been observed during nanoelectrospray MS studies which could be characterized as non-physiologic conditions. The dissociation of sHSP 27 into <70 kDa oligomers following phosphorylation or into dimers after R148G mutation and to monomers after R127W and S135F mutation has been reported. Previous studies have also suggested that sHSPs dimers are likely the building blocks of oligomers [27,28]. To our knowledge there are no reports of a full-length αA-crystallin mutant that dissociates into monomers under physiologic conditions.
The G98R mutation resides in the protein at a strand region equivalent to the β5-strand in sHSP 16.5 and αA-crystallin . This substitution introduces a positively charged bulky residue at this subunit interaction region likely affecting the subunit interactions that form the stable oligomers. It is unlikely that the relative increase in pI is responsible for the dissociation of mutant protein since it was reported earlier that αAS173K, with similar change in pI did not dissociate into monomers . Mutation of G98 to a noncharged, less bulkier residue Cys was found to not result in a significant alteration in the oligomer size . Our observation of less αAG98R-crystallin dissociation at higher protein concentrations is likely related to a “molecular crowding effect” in which the subunits tend to interact with one another and remain as oligomers. Molecular crowding is known to affect protein–protein interactions and, at high concentrations, proteins tend to aggregate more . Therefore, although αAG98R-crystallin dissociates into monomeric form at low concentration in vitro, it is unlikely that αAG98R-crystallin exists in the lens as a monomer in vivo because of high protein concentration and the propensity to form large aggregates.
α-Crystallin chaperone activity in the lens has been investigated in both wild-type and mutant αA- and αB-crystallins. Chaperone activity is dependent on the rate of subunit exchange, a characteristic of sHSPs . Studies with Hsp27 and T4 lysozyme showed that dissociation of oligomer is required for client protein binding . Dimers have been identified as the preferred chaperone units in sHSPs [11,33,34]. Several reports suggest that subunit dissociation is required for better chaperone activity [26,32-34]. However, in another study, α-crystallin chaperone activity did not change after crosslinking to prevent the dissociation . Our studies with αAG98R-crystallin show that the monomeric form of mutant protein displays chaperone activity toward aggregating of ADH, bovine βB2-crystallin, CS, and ovotransferrin. Among these 4 client proteins, ADH, CS, and bovine βB2-crystallin were denatured by heat, whereas ovotransferrin was denatured by reduction. The results show that the mutant is active against client proteins denatured by heat or chemical methods. The monomers of αAG98R-crystallin showed varying amounts of chaperone activity during aggregation assays with CS, βB2-crystallin, and ovotransferrin as client proteins. While there was nearly a 50% protection of βB2-crystallin with monomers of αAG98R-crystallin when used in 5:1 ratio (w/w), the same ratio between ovotransferrin and αAG98R-crystallin was found to give nearly 100% protection from aggregation (Figure 5B,D). Such a wide range in chaperone activity in both mutant and wild-type αA-crystallin has been observed in other studies [8,9,14,18,21]. The reasons for such substrate-dependent chaperone activity are yet to be elucidated. It is plausible that the mutation affects one of the chaperone binding sites involved in interactions with a particular client protein, whereas the interactions with another client protein and chaperone are not altered because a different binding site is involved. Earlier we found that 89VLGDVIEVHGK99 is one of the substrate binding sites in αA-crystallin and that the G98R mutation is part of this region. The scientific literature on α-crystallin chaperone activity point to multiple regions of the protein as having a role in chaperone activity. To our knowledge the present study is the first demonstration of chaperone activity in an isolated full-length αA-crystallin monomer.
The monomers of αAG98R-crystallin mutant protein showed lower chaperone activity than wild-type αA-crystallin. A factor may be that the complexes of ADH and αAG98R-crystallin monomers are less stable than the complexes formed with wild-type αA-crystallin and lead to the formation of light scattering aggregates with time. SDS–PAGE analysis of the aggregates supports this view (data not shown). While this study demonstrates chaperone activity in monomers of αAG98R-crystallin, it does not clarify the necessity of subunit dissociation for chaperone activity. Our study does, however, provide enough support for the argument that a subunit in αA-crystallin is a functional unit and dimers are not the active minimum chaperone units in αA-crystallin. Recent studies with mutant forms of HSPB1 (HSP27) found that monomerization of the protein leads to hyperactivity . However, unlike αAG98R-crystallin, HSPB1 mutants only partially dissociated into monomers.
Studies have shown that some mutations affect the size and stability of αA- and αB-cystallin oligomers, but other mutations do not [2,8,9,14,16,22]. The present study reveals that αAG98R-crystallin undergoes autolysis on storage, as has been reported with αBR120G-crystallin . It is possible that trace amount of co-purified protease may cause the degradation of recombinant proteins. However, it is unlikely that the degradation we observed was due to protease contamination because the wild-type αA-crystallin expressed, purified and stored under similar conditions did not show degradation. Degradation of aggregated lipase, γ-crystallin and scFv protein (single-chain variable fragment antibody) has been reported , and the autolysis was attributed to the action of surface serine residues in the aggregated proteins. It is yet to be determined whether aggregation-induced proteolysis and serine residues are also involved in αAG98R-crystallin autolysis.
In conclusion, the present study shows that the monomers of αAG98R-crystallin have chaperone activity and that G98R mutation in αA-crystallin is sufficient to cause the dissociation of the oligomers.

DETROIT — A U.S. auto safety group wants the government to investigate automatic emergency braking on some Nissan Rogue SUVs, alleging that the safety feature makes the vehicles brake even when there’s no emergency.
Nissan says it has notified all customers of a software update that improves performance of the automated braking system. But the center says the campaigns don’t acknowledge the seriousness of the safety problem and give owners little incentive to get the SUVs fixed.
In a letter posted Friday by the government, center Executive Director Jason Levine says it found 87 complaints about unintended braking in the safety administration’s database. “Many complaints indicate that braking is abrupt or forceful, endangering both the Rogue occupants as well as people in the vehicles nearby who are forced to avoid a collision with a suddenly stopped vehicle,” the letter says.
Automatic emergency braking uses cameras and radar to slow or stop vehicles when drivers don’t take action. The technology has great potential to save lives, but it also can develop glitches. Twenty automakers representing 99 percent of U.S. new-car sales signed a voluntary agreement with the government to make the feature standard on all light vehicles by Sept. 1, 2022.
In an email, Levine said a recall is needed rather than Nissan’s service campaign because false activation of the braking system is a safety hazard. He wrote that some drivers are turning off the technology because of the problem.
NHTSA said in documents that it will evaluate whether to grant or deny the center’s petition. Safety advocates and vehicle owners can petition the government to open safety investigations. | 2019-04-23T02:19:20 | https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nation-and-world/group-seeks-probe-into-nissan-automatic-emergency-braking-1640925/ |
Dr. Veith is asking for testimonials, so be sure to go there and leave one! FYI--Rod is not retiring until next year (2010).
One of my favorite "Dad Rod" moments was when J. I. Packer once said to him: "Rod, you not only have Luther's theology, you embody the very man himself." I couldn't agree more.
Dr. Rosenbladt acquired the nickname "dad" one night long ago when we were at Mike Horton's house in Anaheim watching TBN late on a Sunday night after a live program in Hollywood (for the first ten years or so, the White Horse Inn was broadcast live out of KKLA in Glendale/Hollywood). We always relaxed with lengthy theological discussion and debate, pizza, a few cigars, and some adult beverages. It was great fun! Jan Crouch was cooing about "Daddy Hagin." I don't recall if it was Shane or Mike, but one of them quipped "well if Jan can have her daddy Hagin, we can have a dad Rod." Anyway, the nickname stuck.
Great story, Kim! Thanks for the info!
Tribute...gosh, you scared me for a minute there!
I agree with PB. I was a little nervous at the title of the post.
Retire? Not retiring from WHI, I hope.

I'm looking forward to meeting Rod tomorrow at the theology conference in St. Louis. Just heard Mike Horton speak tonight. Wonderful stuff. Wish you were here too Kim!
Rod sets a great example for all of us Lutherans -- that we should know our Bibles, and read and quote Luther.
It is amazing. Even if one doesn't know very much, if you can quote Luther, they think that you're smart!!
I just finished reading the comments on the blog of Veith. I got a kick out of the one blogger, when he stated that Ken Jones once told Rod that the Lutheran view of baptism made much more sense to him (especially the children), than the Reformed view did.
I challenge all, to really study the Lutheran views of the sacraments, and you will really see just how Biblical and rich they are. The Holy Spirit is actually in the sacraments, not along side of them (the Reformed view).
Baptism creates and sustains faith. Peter says in Acts 2:38 & 39, that baptism is, "for you and for your children." John 3:5 says, to be born again, is to "be born of water and the Spirit." Titus 3:5 says, "not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit." 1 Peter 3:20 & 21 says, " in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. There is also an antitype which now saves us - baptism."
We don't contend that everyone that gets baptized, gets saved. (That would be going farther than what the Scriptures teach.) We do contend, however, that the waters of baptism, combined with the Word, is A means of grace that God uses to create saving faith. God also saves us, through His word, without baptism. God is the active party in baptism, not us. We are passive in baptism. Lutherans do not view the waters of baptism as an act of obedience, or a work that we do, ala, the Baptist's.
Infant Baptism has ALWAYS been practiced by the church, at least for the first 1500 years of church history. That is, until the heretical anabaptists came along. In the latter years, the southern Baptist's and the decision theology folks, have not baptized infants.
God does, indeed, create faith in the little babies, just like he does in us, Phil. 1:29.
I don't have the time now. But, the Lutheran view of the Lords supper, is the historical church view. Again, in the supper, the Holy Spirit is in the sacrament, not along side of it.
We view baptism and communion as not acts of obedience, but they are sacraments, where we receive the forgiveness of our sins!
For Lutherans, we believe in the "preservation of the saints." He preserves us with the means of grace, which is the Gospel, found in the Word and the Sacraments.
Luke 18:15-17 says this, "People were also bringing BABIES to Jesus to have him touch them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."
See, God created faith in these little babies and children. Jesus called the little children, kingdom children. Why should they be denied the chief benefit of the kingdom, which is the baptism for the remission of their sins?
The unborn baby, John the Baptist, leaped in his mother's womb when he heard the Word of God proclaimed (Lluke 1:41-44). God creates faith in the little babies, just like He does in us.
Again, we don't just dedicate our babies to God in baptism, we trust His promisies, that baptism is a means of grace, where He will create saving faith in the child.
Hence, the Lutheran view of the Holy Spirit within the sacraments, not along side of them. We stress the power of God, in these marvelous tools that He uses, His body, blood, bread & wine, and the waters of baptism, combined with the Word, as life giving sacraments.
Being a Lutheran, allows one to view the Gospel in the sacraments, in 3-d pictures, rather than in black and white. Again, it's right out of the Bible! | 2019-04-26T06:40:23 | http://kimriddlebarger.squarespace.com/the-latest-post/2009/4/24/a-tribute-to-dad-rod.html |
So, it turns out facebook is both evil and full of people who post pictures of the toast they have just made – because of course the world is interested in that.
This is where all of my stuff that would normally go on Facebook and other such places will live so that I don’t have to deal with the rubbish on there. There isn’t much here yet but there will be. Not all of it will be in plain view but some will and I’ll just see how things pan out. | 2019-04-22T00:54:24 | https://matt.world/index.php/2019/01/03/well-hello-there/ |

Some corporations used to play fast and loose with financial reports, or at least with that portion of the financial reports that were prepared according to GAAP and which ones weren’t. GAAP – generally accepted accounting principles.
“Firms Say Goodbye to Prettied-Up Financial Reports,” The Wall Street Journal, August 30, 2016 B5. Firms used to front-end load some of their financial reports with “custom” treatments of the results, and put the legally required GAAP treatment “later.” Why? To make things look better, some say, or to reflect the unusual nature of that particular business. Your pick. Now, the GAAP treatment must come first, and the massaged (customized) treatment, later. I guess that’s better than prohibiting non-GAAP treatment altogether.
Management of information comes in many forms. Order of presentation is but one of them. Governing the management of information involves setting the rules “governing” that management.
I rail from time to time on the breaches of law or policy that result in corporate fines but no individual accountability. So I was relatively happy to see “Goldman Pays Up Over Leak,” The Wall Street Journal, August 4, 2016 C1.
A staffer at the Federal Reserve in New York leaked confidential government information to a former colleague, who then worked at Goldman Sachs. Another Goldman Sachs executive knew about the leak of the information and failed to report it to his superior.
The staffer who leaked the information got fired and fined $2,000.
His former colleague pled guilty to theft of government property (and not receiving stolen goods), was barred from the banking business for life, and fined $5,000.
The Goldman Sachs executive who knew but didn’t tell – he was fired, and faces a proposed fine of $337,500 and a lifetime bar from the banking industry (his lawyer says he’s fighting the allegations).
Goldman Sachs paid $50 million to New York State and $36+ million to the Federal Reserve.
Quoting from The Journal, “[t]he Fed said it is ‘illegal to use or disclose confidential supervisory information without prior approval of the appropriate banking regulator.'” The article did not provide a regulatory citation for this requirement.
So, the relatively good news is, while the shareholders of Goldman paid the majority of the penalty, at least the actual perpetrators paid something. What percentage of $86 million is $2,000?
This one isn’t in the print edition. But it’s an interesting development.
“Prosecutors Sharply Reduce Potential PG&E Penalties From Pipeline Explosion,” The Wall Street Journal, August 3, 2016.
PG&E is being sued for the explosion of a gas pipeline in San Bruno in 21010 that killed 8. I follow this case because of PG&E’s inability to locate vital records related to more than half of the 212 miles of pipeline. Records of inspections required by regulation and such.
In day four of jury deliberations in the criminal trial against PG&E, the government reduced the amount of fines it was seeking from $562 million to $6 million. The larger amount was the calculation of twice the amount of money PG&E saved by not doing what the regulations required.
Why? What does this say about how important compliance it? Will any corporate executives go to jail? Or be sued by the shareholders?
Notwithstanding the Yates Memorandum, not a lot of senior executives have taken the fall for company problems. However comma.
“Email Hack Leads to a DNC Shake-Up,” The Wall Street Journal, August 3, 2016 A4. The CEO and two other senior executives are leaving following the email hack at the DNC (in addition to Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz).
Not clear whether this was because the the breach per se, or the content of what was disclosed. It is good that people at the top take responsibility. | 2019-04-25T22:15:36 | https://infogovnuggets.com/2016/08/ |

Are you considering bankruptcy as a way to stop wage garnishment?
Once you successfully file for bankruptcy, all wage garnishment will stop. It should be an immediate process that takes effect before your next payroll is even processed. However, it will not stop all wage garnishments; any child support arrears will continue to garnish your wages. Items like second mortgages, personal loans, credit cards, medical bills and vehicle loans are subject to a stoppage of wage garnishment.
If you are serious about stopping wage garnishment once and for all, it is time to contact a bankruptcy attorney today. A consumer bankruptcy attorney that has handled wage garnishment cases is best equipped to not only discuss your legal options with you, but finally put a stop to the wage garnishment that has been making your life more difficult. However, this all depends on whether you are able to get the type of bankruptcy that you need. Since bankruptcy laws are constantly changing and evolving, it is best not to file alone, but to enlist San Antonio bankruptcy attorney to represent your best interests in a court of law.
