Indications: Antifungal used to treat athlete’s foot, ringworm and yeast infections of the skin.
Summary Recommendations: Miconazole is used to treat fungal infections of the skin. Always complete the full course of treatment as symptoms may disappear before the fungal infection is cured. Never bandage or bind areas where the medication is applied.
Another name for miconazole is Monistat-Derm.
General Precautions: If you are pregnant or find out you are pregnant while using miconazole, tell your doctor immediately. Only a small amount of miconazole makes it to the bloodstream. The most commonly reported side effect of miconazole use is allergic reaction or irritation of the skin where the medication is applied. Risk of irritation can be reduced by applying only a small amount of the medication and rubbing the medication into the skin until it disappears. Wash hands after applying miconazole to prevent getting the medication in eyes or mouth. Side effects are rare and only occur in a small portion of the population – both men and women.
You should continue miconazole treatment if you find out you’re pregnant. Contact your prescribing physician and/or your obstetrician.
Effect While Trying to Conceive: There have been no reports of impaired fertility associated with this drug. Animal studies have been completed with doses nearly 90 times that of the average human use with no negative side effects pertaining to fertility.
Effects on Pregnancy: Clinical observations have been completed on more than 38,000 pregnancies where miconazole was used. There was no higher incidence of birth defects or pregnancy complications in these cases compared to women who did not receive treatment. The Food and Drug Administration has not placed this drug in a pregnancy category.
Safe During Breastfeeding: While there are no clinical observations or reports to pull from, the small amount of miconazole that passes into breast milk is not thought to cause side effects in the infant. | 2019-04-25T22:11:22 | https://www.babymed.com/medications/miconazole-monistat-derm-during-pregnancy-and-breastfeeding |

Colors. I like to check out what's trending and what's showing at Fashion Week. Whenever a new season rolls around, I like to see the trending colors of that season in case I hit a creativity block whenever I'm making anything. So I thought, well it would be handy to have that when someone is out shopping.
The app is not fancy or anything. It has a very simple look and it's basically just two parts (without counting the "About" and "Contact" pages): seasonal colors and color of the year. I've included trending colors for the spring and fall season of 2013 and spring season of 2014. As for the yearly colors I have included those chosen as far back as 2010. As time goes by and more seasonal and yearly color trends are announced, I'll be updating the app with that information.
One of the things that gave me most difficulty was the ads aspect which was frustrating because that's where I was supposed to get some income. (I'm aware it's not great, but I'm happy with $0.01 because all of this is just me trying out something new). Anyways, at first the coding was giving me problems. Then when I tried out the app in the emulator, the ads didn't show up at all. I decided to publish the app anyways. It took a couple of days for certification. I don't know if I mentioned it before, but I hate the waiting game. I just can't deal with it. It reminded me of that King of Queens episode where Doug kept watching the stock market. Although I would try to forget about it I just couldn't help but keep checking on my developer's app if my app had passed certification. My partner was the one who called me and told me that it went through. It was so exciting.
I read a post once in a women entrepreneurs group that you should use "I am". That once you start using "I am" you start internalizing that and it helps you reach your goals. Instead of "I would like to..." you use "I am..." I am happy to say I AM officially an app developer. I want to create a "pro" version of the app and of course go back and finish my other two. Later, I'd like to try developing apps for the other platforms.

New research supported by ASHRAE indicates that non-chemical devices (NCD) marketed to control the growth of biological agents may not materially reduce biological growth.
New research supported by ASHRAE indicates that non-chemical devices (NCD) marketed to control the growth of biological agents, such as Legionella in cooling towers, may not materially reduce biological growth.
Research project No. 1361, Biological Control in Cooling Towers Using Non-Chemical Water Treatment Devices, a two year project recently completed by Dr. Radisav Vidic at the University of Pittsburgh, evaluated five non-chemical devices using different technologies to control biological activity in a model cooling tower system. The devices studied included a hydrodynamic cavitation device, pulsed and static electric field devices, an ultrasonic device and a magnetic device.
In Vidic’s research, none of the non-chemical devices measurably reduced planktonic or sessile microbial populations in comparison to no-treatment tests and to a conventional chemical microbial control treatment protocol. The findings appear to be inconsistent with previous research by non-chemical device manufacturers and some independent researchers on some of the same devices tested in the ASHRAE study. Those other studies reported measurable degrees of biological control within the parameters of testing conducted.
“These results suggest that equipment operators, building owners, and engineers should consider taking more frequent water sample tests for their systems that rely on NCDs for biological control. If the testing shows an issue, one possible measure is to add chemical treatment capability to their system to prevent a potential health hazard from developing until additional research and field testing can resolve this question,” according to Vidic.
The study results are still subject to final approval by the sponsoring technical committee, TC 3.6 – Water Treatment. For notice of when the report is available, please contact Mike Vaughn, manager of research and technical services at ASHRAE.
Goodway’s Cooling Tower Cleaning SolutionBioSpray Tower kills 99.9% of Legionella pneumophila when properly applied to hard non-porous surfaces like cooling towers, evaporative condensers, or fluid coolers.
Anti-Microbial Resin Design From Delta Cooling TowersThe company's Anti-Microbial Cooling Tower option reduces risk of Legionnaires’ Disease in chiller/cooling tower applications.
I have seen several other electro-chemical devices that have been proven to control scale, corrosion and micros. However, do not do business with R** C********** from e***. He has cheated at least 8 customers and reps out of money…just ask around. He has given this promising technology another black eye.

The neutral and non-profit DCSA officially started operations on 12 April in its headquarters in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, after it gained regulatory approval from the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) last month.
“For the first time in 20 years, the container shipping industry has come together with a common goal to move the industry into the digital era. With regulatory approval in place, we look forward for the association to take up work and to begin to collaborate with multiple stakeholders from the entire value chain,” said Andre Simha, chief information officer of MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company) and chairman of the supervisory board of DCSA.
To create value quickly and to overcome some of the biggest pain points in the industry, one of DCSA’s first projects is focusing on standards to overcome the lack of a common foundation for technical interfaces and data.
Additionally, to develop another cornerstone for the foundation of the future of shipping, the association is creating an industry blueprint for processes. The work undertaken will be for the benefit of the entire industry, as all standards will be openly published and free of charge.
Thomas Bagge from Maersk has been appointed ceo and statutory director of DCSA. Bagge has been involved in various transformation activities in Maersk covering people, process and technology, over the past 12 years.
In addition to Bagge and Simha, two other members of the DCSA supervisory board are Martin Gnass, managing director information technology from Hapag-Lloyd, and Noriaki Yamaga, managing director of corporate and innovation from ONE (Ocean Network Express).
At present, DCSA is in discussions with multiple other container shipping lines globally who are interested in joining the association, and preparations for membership of two companies are already ongoing. | 2019-04-25T14:49:50 | https://www.al-sindbad.net/major-lines-establish-digital-container-shipping-association/ |
It’s that time of year again, as party conference season officially gets underway. The REC will have a presence at all the major party conferences, but first up was the Liberal Democrats conference in sunny (at least partially) Bournemouth.
Three big themes came out of the conference which should be of interest to recruiters.
At a fringe event on the ‘Great Jobs Agenda’, deputy leader and former employment minister Jo Swinson MP gave a nuanced view on zero hours contracts, saying they work very well for a lot of people.
Frances O’Grady, General Secretary of the TUC, said there should be greater importance given to promoting gender equality in the workplace via opportunities for flexible working for both men and women, in combination with more accessible and less expensive childcare.
The REC’s Director of Policy Tom Hadley will be speaking at the same event at the Labour party conference alongside Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, Rebecca Long-Bailey.
At a Local Government Association event on the skills and employability there was widespread agreement that the government’s current approach to skills was not suitable for the contemporary jobs market.
Better careers advice is needed, and should be achieved by providing more connection between local employers and with schools. This would help to provide a more accurate understanding of the jobs market amongst young people.
The apprenticeship levy should be used to enhance skills throughout the workforce.
One suggested solution, which received unanimous support from the panel, was that funds from the apprenticeship levy should be used to enhance skills throughout the workforce. The REC has long called for the apprenticeship levy to become a broader skills levy.
Brexit and migration was given a key focus at an event on the future of food and farming, run by the National Farmers Union and the Food and Drink Federation. Lib Dem Spokesperson for Brexit Rt Hon Tom Brake suggested that future staffing needs would be the biggest challenge for Britain’s food and farming post-Brexit.
As the REC’s recent report Building the post-Brexit immigration system outlines, the UK needs an evidence-based immigration system once we leave the EU, which recognises the value and contribution of EU workers of all skills levels.
Vince Cable’s closing speech was light on policy, but emphasised the message that the Liberal Democrats are the “only real undiluted pro-European party”. The Lib Dems are not only calling for the UK to remain in the single market and customs union to help safeguard jobs and trade, but Cable also re-iterated calls for a further referendum to decide whether the UK should actually leave the European Union.
Richard Sagar works with colleagues in the policy team to address the concerns of members across a number of sectors, including engineering, education, technical, MMCC and childcare. He also works on issues of significance across sectors including immigration and safeguarding. | 2019-04-21T03:10:54 | https://www.newmillennia.co.uk/news/report-from-the-lib-dem-conference/ |
Suits... but in New Zealand?
What would Suits look like… in New Zealand?
The second half of season seven of Suits hits Lightbox tomorrow! But what would it look like… in New Zealand? Like real, flyover country New Zealand. Sam Brooks imagines this beautiful scenario.
We all know Suits. It’s the show where lawyers outwit those around them, fall in love, fall in almost-love and wade in the murky waters between what is legal and what is good. It’s a rollicking good time of a show, where people are dressed nice and always have something witty to say before they leave a scene. It’s all very glamour, very business, very New York.
But what if it… wasn’t?
The dashing Harvey Specter himself.
Who he is on Suits: He’s Harvey! Protagonist, managing partner at Pearson Specter Litt, charming rake of a man who apparently once dated Elizabeth Hurley. Season seven finds him dealing with being in charge of the firm and his own tortured relationship to lunch.
Who he is on Suits NZ: He grew up in Farmerton, went to the Big Smoke to get his law degree and came back home to take up a job at the biggest law firm in a hundred kilometre radius. He’s the kind of guy wasn’t head boy but he was close enough that you misremember him as head boy. He goes to WOMAD every year not because he wants to, but because he can afford it. Gets his hair cut in Palmerston North.
Mike Ross, the man with a secret!
Who he is on Suits: Mike Ross is an associate at Pearson Spencer Litt who has a big secret: he doesn’t actually have a law degree. In season seven he’s working for PSL again after leaving them at the end of last season, and working through his on-again-off-again relationship with Rachel.
Who he is on Suits NZ: Mike Ross would be the guy who runs the trivia at the pub who is secretly the smartest guy in town, and can fix everything in your house despite not being qualified to do so. He has a bizarrely good haircut, and you suspect he cuts his own hair and is somehow talented at that too. His big secret is that he’s actually from Auckland, but he says he’s from New Plymouth.
Louis Litt, in a rare quiet moment.
Who he is on Suits: The loud name partner at PSL who shouts at everybody, but has a secret soft and tortured side. In season seven, he’s dealing with power struggles at the firm, and is finally dealing with his own inner demons after his relationship with Tara went down the drain.
Who he is on Suits NZ: He is absolutely the guy who runs for mayor and comes in second place, has run for mayor each time, losing by a larger margin each time. Has a wife who lives a few cities over; people forget her name, but not her existence.
Rachel Zane radiates literal sunlight.
Who she is on Suits: The effortlessly glamourous and stately Rachel Zane used to be a paralegal at PSL but has slowly worked her way up to associate. She’s also in an on-again/off-again dalliance with Mike, and with season eight seeing the departure of Meghan Markle, we’re on the edge of our seats to see how Rachel leaves us.
Who she is on Suits NZ: A goddess among us. The woman who is inexplicably good to those around her, kind-hearted, intelligent, and you’ve never heard her say an unwarranted unkind word about anybody. If she tells you you’ve done something wrong, you just want to make sure you never do that thing again. She runs the essential oil company in Farmerton, started by her mother, and which makes her a modest living due to her loyal fanbase within the town.
More than the female Harvey, it’s Donna!
Who she is on Suits: Donna is like the mirror image of Harvey. They’re both competent but she has a staunch moral code that, charitably, lines up more with the letter of the law than Harvey’s does. In season seven, Donna decides she wants more for PSL and starts to assert herself at the company in big and relationship-shifting ways, at least for her and Harvey.
Who she is on Suits NZ: She owns the best bar in town, she’s kind of woman who calls people ‘hun’ and has their drink prepared before they get to the bar. She’s the kind of person who will call someone’s wife to come and get them before she calls the cops on them, but she absolutely will call the cops on the if it’s necessary. She and the NZ Harvey were a thing in high school, but she’d never admit it.
Who she is on Suits NZ: The mayor. She runs the town, kinds of wish she didn’t, stays around longer than she really needs to, but she’s the best at this job so she does it.
One of the best/my favourite characters on TV: Gretchen Bodinski.
Who she is on Suits NZ: The woman who carries everybody’s burden and her only reward is being absolutely correct all the time. She dreams of getting out of this godforsaken town, but settles for being the best person in it. She is good here, she feels right here.
A new episode of the seventh season of Suits drops weekly on Lightbox from March 29. | 2019-04-23T04:32:22 | https://thespinoff.co.nz/tv/28-03-2018/what-would-suits-look-like-in-new-zealand/ |

Listening to music through earphones is certainly fun because it can dispel the boredom. But if you are traveling alone using Commuter Line to several tourist destinations in Jakarta, this is may lead harmful. You could not hear any announcement at the railways station while you have the music in your earphones. Listening to music through earphones can also lower your level of alertness.
If you are traveling in Jakarta, you will meet with beggars. Do not hesitate to give some little donation to the beggars. Usually they are quite happy if you making little donation such from Rp. 500 to Rp. 1000. If you want to buy goods in a traditional market, do not be too low to bargain the price of goods.
Spend a night at the bars or nightclubs could be one way for solo traveler to interact with other tourists. But be careful, too much drinking will actually cause problems, such as when you arrive and got caught carrying narcotics or trapped in prostitution or even you could be a victim of robbery.
Do not ever go to a tourist destination without any information. No matter how small the information is, it’s good for you to have information about the destinations. For example, in Jakarta, the entire museum is close on Monday. It is a tragic for you when you make a visit to Museum on Monday. In addition, by knowing the good and bad parts of destination, you travel will be more organized and run more smoothly.
While doing solo traveling, you should keep your wallet in a safe place, because your wallet is one of the most coveted thing the thieves. Prepare some change just before traveling; put some of your money on your shirt, pants, or bag. So you do not have to bother to take your money from the wallet when you need it.
Wearing flashy jewelry will only invite the attention of the bad guys to take out your jewelry. When you do solo traveling and wearing many jewelry the chance to be stolen or defrauded is much greater than if you travel with your friend.
Traveling alone means you should keep your own safety, so be mindful of where you are. You must have information on whether your destination is safe for you, either during the day or night. Avoid traveling around the city in the middle of the night alone. | 2019-04-20T20:12:45 | https://jakartabytrain.com/2013/07/24/7-big-no-when-you-are-on-solo-traveling-in-jakarta/ |

On the edge of Prague’s district Vinohrady, there is a miniature square on a hidden street where the Čapek brothers built their residence in 1923. Rumor has it that the duplex where both brothers lived with their families was paid for with the money that Karel made from selling the copyright to his famous play R.U.R. to Paramount Pictures in Hollywood. Even though the film had never been made, the brothers finished building in 1924 and since then time has stopped in this little square.
The house was designed by the architect Ladislav Machoň. His project was influenced mainly by Jan Kotěra and also somewhat by slowly growing functionalism and plateauing art deco. The house follows a small colony of spectacular villas built in the 1920s on a hillside between Vršovice and Vinohrady, not far from the popular Dykova Street.
Today, the house is a property of Prague 10 district and it is becoming more accessible to the public. The garden and a major part of the interior, including Karel’s office and a room of Pátečníci where both brothers used to meet Masaryk, Beneš, Peroutka, and others on Friday afternoons, should be opened to the public soon. Josef’s part of the house is to this date occupied by his descendants. | 2019-04-24T01:50:54 | http://spud.cz/architektura/Capkovavila/en |
Hi! I’m an experienced developer based in Bucharest, Romania. I’ve been working with various technologies in the past, but weapons of choice at the moment are ReactJS, React Native and NodeJS.
After I graduated, I’ve started my developer journey in an medium sized outsourcing company, where I’ve been trained to work with BI SAS solutions, but my innate curiosity and my wish to be a programmer led me to work on a Python web scrapping & text analytics POC.
In the summer of 2017 I joined the NGO Code4Romania, where we try to solve societal issues. | 2019-04-20T10:52:20 | https://charlietango.co/about.html |
Hey everyone! Today I want to share with you a new way to style your maxi dresses. It's really simple. All you need to do is put a tshirt over them (mine is just a simple v-neck from Target) and tie them in a knot. BAM! You have a whole new look. The original dress in this picture is a strapless maxi dress. While I love wearing it on it's own, the pattern is too pretty not to dress it up other ways. I got so many compliments on this outfit. Try out this style tip and see how many dresses you can wear over and over in new ways! | 2019-04-26T02:41:30 | http://www.thetrendysparrowblog.com/2014/06/maxi-tribal-dress-tshirt.html |
Today I thought I would delight you all with some donations that we have received at the library since I’ve started working there. Some of them are strange and some of them are just really, really outdated (you’ll see). I hope you like this weird little post and if you do I can compile more pictures and do another round in a few weeks!
Needless to say, none of these donations were made into library books by us, they were just a TAD BIT out of date. My favorite out of these was by far the tiny dictionary. I really wanted to take it home but I had no use for it so I resisted the urge to take the tiny cute book home with me. Most of these books end up in our free paperback section where anyone can take them home (most of them are still over there!). We do love getting donations and we never turn any away. If we are overflowing with free paperbacks we will stick them in our staff office and save them for a later date when we can use them! The only time that books ever get recycled is if they are moldy, damaged beyond repair, or covered in a gross substance that is not mold (I will spare you the details). Please let me know what you all think of these books! Leave a comment below or hit me up on Twitter!

Can You Use Olive Oil on Oily Skin?
I have started using extra virgin olive oil on my face ever since I heard that it works extremely well as both a natural skin moisturizer and facial cleanser. However it gave me pimples and blackheads. My question are, can I use olive oil on oily skin? If not, what brands of face oils do you suggest I use? Also, do you think it is ok to skip moisturizer altogether since my skin leans more towards the shiny, greasy type? Thank you. – Amanda, Louisiana.
Great question! Relatively speaking, people with combination or oily skin are afraid to use moisturizing oils (such as olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, argan oil, etc) for fear that such skin care face oils may block pores or make their greasy skin even oilier.
However, oily skin can be dehydrated so it needs moisture too, and will greatly benefit from a face oil like antioxidant-rich olive oil, depending on how oily your skin is.
For instance, if you have oily skin with dry patches right over greasy areas due to skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis, or experience excessive oiliness on your T-zone, and dryness around your cheeks, then moisturizing with a thin layer of olive oil can be a great way to keep skin healthy and strong.
Or, if your skin tends to be super oily in summer and feels hopelessly dry during the winter months, then I would say olive oil makes an excellent natural face moisturizer to protect winter dry skin from freezing temperatures and blasting heaters.
Interestingly, olive oil does not clog pores so it may not actually be the main culprit of your sudden pimple breakout. Hormonal changes just before your period, using the wrong makeup, hidden food allergies and stress could be possible causes.
Since you are getting nasty pimple breakouts and blackheads from using olive oil on your face, I would definitely suggest you stop using it for a few days and see what happens.
If olive oil does not agree with your oily skin and cause constant pimple flare ups, then you might want to consider these face oils listed below.
You can still reap the many benefits of extra virgin olive oil by incorporating it into your weekly beauty routine. For example, use warm olive oil as a natural hydrating hair mask for soft, luscious locks. Rub a bit of olive oil on cuticles to keep them adequately moisturized in cold weather. Massage oil on rough dry cracked heels, slip into a pair of socks, and you will be rewarded with touchably smoother skin the next day.
What Face Oils Are Best for Oily Skin?
I really like quality brands like Pevonia Botanica and Aromatherapy Associates but you can also try jojoba oil which allow your skin to breathe while it heals. Sweet almond oil and castor oil are also great for combination or greasy skin that are prone to spots and pimples. However, everyone's skin is different so you have to experiment and see what will work best for your oily skin.
With the right face oil for your skin type, there is no reason why your skin cannot be completely free of blackheads, pimples, zits and other imperfections.
This non-greasy daily conditioning face oil packs a wallop of gentle skin-boosting ingredients that are really wonderful for combination or greasy skin. It contains ylang ylang which can help rebalance your skin's natural oils while improving skin elasticity. It also soothes and calms irritated skin with its delightful blend of lavender and rose for a clearer, spot-free face complexion.
Because it is a quick-absorbing face oil, I recommend using it under a lightweight day moisturizer for double-whammy skin nourishing benefits. It is sure to leave your skin feeling comfortably soft and beautifully revitalized with a natural radiance from the inside out!
A lovely scented light face oil that delivers regenerative antioxidants to heal and purify your skin while normalizing excess oil and tightening enlarged pores. Packed with hazel nut oil, sandalwood, mandarin orange, and grapefruit essential oils blend to promote velvety smooth, baby soft skin complexion.
Apply 3-5 drops before bedtime on thoroughly cleansed and moist skin. Gently massage in circular motions to ensure optimum penetration, making sure to avoid the delicate eye area.
Is It OK to Wash Face with Only Water?

Imagine a world without trees. Picture a world with no plants nor grass, barren and bare. Total emptiness.
We are free to make decisions, to choose, to prioritize. Each act has its consequences and these are often unknown. If we all try to do small great things, with respect and conscious of our actions, we might help with the regeneration of our world.
I believe in conscious action and this is why I choose with care and prioritize when deciding which materials to go for, taking into account their traceability, the impact on the environment, the social responsability in choosing these rather than other materials and my respect for the well-being of any animals involved or disturbed by this purchase.
The beauty of a finished object is as important as its physical make-up. The key is to study the ultimate function of each piece of furniture so as to detect strengths and weaknesses and thereby give maximum attention to the latter.
Pieces of furniture designed with time and dedication. Made to last and last. Made out of quality natural materials, chosen with care with each project in mind. The joints are thought out carefully so as to ensure that its daily use strengthens, rather than weakens, its funcionality.
With my heart beating and my mind working things out, my hands help to shape an imagined concept. Hands are magic, powerful, able to materialize what one’s mind hopes for. Hands can make something long before a machine is able to manufacture a similar design: the personal touch.
Each detail defines the character of the piece and makes it special. I admire each knot, each crack or split in the wood, each imperfection on the surface is a potential point to work on and to embellish enhancing its unique natural beauty.
Each tiny movement, each alteration in the shape or colour of wood, these are like little calls of attention to help us realize that it exists, that it is alive and that it feels the changes in temperature and surroundings just as we do. I care for wood as it deserves to be cared for and I respect the space it needs to move, adapt and transform itself as time goes by.
Love is the essence which unites us, that connects us with the world and our immediate surroundings. It is what makes us feel alive. This is what happens to objects that have been made with love, the piece comes alive, and from this new life a unique story is born that will last forever.

SAN FRANCISCO — The first online election for student government at Berkeley High School became a lesson in more than democracy. Students also learned about vote fraud, hacking and digital privacy after a high school junior who was running for class president cast hundreds of fake online votes for himself.
Rather than punishment, Berkeley school officials believe in “restorative justice” and there is talk of apology letters and even forming a discussion circle next week with all the candidates and the two who tried to rig the election, Villavicencio said.
“The students in question need to reflect upon what they did and why it was so bad and they need to do that in a public way,” he said.
Villavicencio and Robert Ezra Stern, a senior who serves as the school’s commissioner of elections, investigated and found the fraudulent votes were cast from the same computer and the votes were cast in alphabetical order.
And while most students voted right before or right after school or during lunch, on March 21, the day before the election closed, “the votes for these two candidates were coming in in mass quantities at all times of day and night,” Villavicencio said.
The students who won the election after the fraud was uncovered, president-elect Lexie Tesch and vice president-elect Daijah Conerly, said they were angry and frustrated that someone would try to win by invading other peoples’ privacy.
“I didn’t want students to lose faith in democracy,” said Tesch, who wants to be a senator one day. | 2019-04-19T23:20:56 | https://gvwire.com/2019/04/12/student-council-presidential-election-hacked-by-candidate/ |
N2P Controls has recently been engaged by FloVac, the leaders in vacuum sewer technology. We are assisting with the controls package for two of their plants that are being installed in the greater Auckland region.
FloVac have been pioneers in vacuum sewer technology for many years. They are a worldwide operation with installations spanning from New Zealand and Europe, to the Middle East.
Vacuum sewer technology involves sucking sewer from vacuum pits, back to a central vacuum pump station (VPS). It is ideal in flat terrain where gravity pipes need to be installed deep into ground.
Pits are installed in council owned areas, eliminating the need to have home owners involved in their maintenance and monitoring. In fact, one pit can service up to four different properties.
As the water level rises in the pits, a valve opens it to the vacuum mains and everything in the pit (such as balls, nappies, wet wipes etc) are sucked into the vacuum mains and sent down the pipe to the VPS.
The valves in the pits effectively pass very large objects, and the vacuum mains ensure a good velocity fluid in the pipes. This then provides a well aerated sewer which stops the waste becoming septic.
N2P Controls was chosen by FloVac because of our proven history in wastewater controls and the ability to offer a package solution including designing, building and commissioning the control cabinet. This includes not just the PLC but all of the switchgear as well as N2P Controls’ knowledge and understanding of Watercare’s standard, which has been a bonus for FloVac.
With the first plant due to be installed later in 2019, we look forward to working with FloVac on more projects. | 2019-04-23T16:02:16 | https://www.n2pcontrols.com/case-studies/sometimes-its-good-to-suck-at-some-things/ |
With so many apps available in the App Store, developers rely on user reviews to stand out and attract new users. And while users who truly enjoy an app should take a moment to leave a positive review, sometimes app developers take things a little too far.
For several years now, iOS app developers could trigger a pop-up message asking users to review their app. These messages are almost always more annoying than helpful, and often interrupt the user’s experience with the app or game. Thankfully, iOS 11 lets users prevent these review request notifications from appearing, at least for apps that honor Apple’s design requirements. Here’s how it works.
First, it’s important to note that this new option to disable in-app ratings and reviews is turned off by default, so you’ll continue to see them if you simply upgrade to iOS 11 and do nothing else. To change that, grab your iPhone or iPad running iOS 11 and launch the Settings app.
From Settings, scroll down until you find the option labeled iTunes & App Store.
In the iTunes & App Store section, find the new option labeled In-App Ratings & Reviews. Toggle this off (white) to prevent apps from popping up those review request notifications. When it’s off, you can still leave positive (or negative) reviews for apps by manually heading to the app’s page on the App Store, you’ll just never be bothered by an unsolicited pop-up notification again.
It’s important to note that these steps only work for apps which follow Apple’s rules and guidelines. It’s possible, although unlikely, that an app could sneak by Apple’s review process and ask you for review requests via regular notifications (if you have those enabled). It’s also possible for the developer to use more nefarious means to bug you for reviews.
For most apps and users, however, disabling this feature means you’ll never be bothered again with unwanted review requests, but this also means that you’ll need to remember to head over to the App Store whenever you want to leave positive or negative feedback. Here’s to hoping that Apple further refines this feature in future updates to allow an “ask once” type policy. | 2019-04-26T13:48:53 | https://www.tekrevue.com/tip/ios-stop-in-app-ratings-review-request/ |
Dyani and Quazzy joined forces with one goal in mind: Dyani's production includes the use of a custom-built Mbira, rooting the overall soundscape into a history of African spiritual tradition, Childhood, and Civil Rights Activism. Quazzy's background in Sound Design opened up the possibilities for a cinematic landscape by mixing in a chorus of different voices from all backgrounds to tie in the message of unity and community building. While at Gallatin, Dyani is continuing her research on the relationship between aural and visual media, studying sound design, film scoring, film editing and production. In her spare time, Dyani produces music and DJs at local venues.

Employees who work outside of Seattle How do new employers determine the number of employees?

Today was such a wonderful day. November started fabulous! We never had rain and the sun continued shining until now. The temperatures were rising up to 20 degrees during this weekend – it was heavenly! It rather feels like spring or summer than autumn right now. Today was the perfect day to go outside. We had breakfast at the Mövenpick hotel in Egerkingen before we went out for a walk in the woods and along the Lake Sempach (Sempachersee). I laughed a lot with my friends and filled up my Vitamin D resources – I feel sooo happy the last few days! I wish moments like this would last forever.
Brunch at Mövenpick in Egerkingen I love the honey they have! it was so delicious! | 2019-04-23T16:57:22 | https://mihoshappylife.com/2015/11/08/heavenly-autumn-days/ |

This week’s Sober Story comes from Kerry, a 38-year-old living in Auckland.
Kerry: I have been in recovery since 6 August 2011.
Kerry: My brother had a talk with me about how worried he was about my drinking. He said he worried about me every day. He was at that time writing a will, he said that if anything happened to him and his wife he would like me to be the guardian of their children, but in my current state he was not going to action that. I was utterly devastated, I had no idea that I was hurting my family. I never picked up another drink after that day. I think I knew I had a problem but had no motivation to give up. This gave me my motivation.
Kerry: It was hard! I would wake up wondering how I would get through another day. My first thing I would do when I got home was pour a drink. I had to occupy myself immediately as I walked in the door. Some days I had to pre-plan something. I started exercising and painting – these were life-saving. First celebrations were hard, first wedding, first birthday party, first funeral, first Christmas. I had to really plan on those occasions and have an exit if I needed it.
Kerry: My family were so relieved but in the beginning a bit hesitant to get too excited in case I fell off the wagon. My friends were supportive, but a lot of them had no idea I had a problem – they didn’t see me drinking at home alone every night. They thought my drinking was fine, I always held it together, I didn’t make a fool of myself, I was fun, I didn’t drink in the morning etc. Some said things like “well don’t go on and get all high and mighty about it, don’t push your ideas onto me”. Or they would get very defensive about their own drinking. I always owned my problem as mine and told people so.
Kerry: No, but I have come pretty close! I ordered a tonic water out for dinner once, about a year after I gave up. I took one sip and immediately knew there was gin in it. It took all my might to not drink it secretly. My little drinking demons were telling me to “be quiet, don’t say anything, no-one will ever know”. It took me a few minutes to send it back. That was my biggest challenge so far.
Kerry: About a year. I became less aggressive. I started to feel proud of myself, love myself, feel happy. I started losing weight after about four months and lost 15kg over the course of the following year. I slept better and my skin and eyes started looking much healthier.
Kerry: This was really challenging!! I didn’t go out at all socially in the first year, not to a bar anyway. I am such a sociable person, but sober I felt crippled! I wouldn’t last very long and went home early as I found it too hard. Then after a year I found it a bit easier – I would attend functions and be quite relaxed. But I had to practice being sober and sociable. I had to force myself into uncomfortable social situations and practice it sober. Now I find it so easy, I feel very comfortable with myself and who I am. I even MC’d a friends wedding 18 months ago, I NEVER would have been able to do that if I was drinking, but I found it so easy!
Kerry: I always thought I was confident, but I had no real idea how much further from the truth that really was. I only thought I was confident because I was drinking. I was so surprised to start feeling positive, confident and HAPPY. I can say that I feel invincible in any situation now.
Kerry: I changed jobs and two months into the job I applied for a promotion into a leadership role – and I got it! I started being creative again. I had energy. I believed in myself and was proud of myself, I started to really love the person I was 100%. My relationship with my brother improved beyond what I could have imagined. We were always close but now he doesn’t look at me with disappointment, we have a true honest relationship with each other, it’s amazing. Opportunities opened up, and clarity about life and myself was amazing! Someone I have been supporting recently through sobriety from drugs and alcohol said to me the other day, “if anyone told me how good life is now, sober and straight back when I was high and drunk, I never would have believed them, this is 100 times better than I thought it was going to be”! I agree totally, no-one can prepare you for how great life is when you live it sober.
Kerry: I have saved so much money. I look and feel so much healthier. I am positive and happy. I realised I could drive anywhere anytime, I wasn’t planning how to get places all the time anymore! I feel like I can do anything! My relationships with family and friends are so much better.
Kerry: I would have reached out to someone who was in recovery to help mentor me. I was stubborn and did it all on my own when I could have benefited from some support. I have had the opportunity to be this person for other people and they have benefited immeasurably.
Kerry: The contemplation of giving up I found the hardest, once you actually make the leap the whole world opens up to you in more ways than you can possibly imagine. Take one day at a time, sometimes one hour or one minute at a time. Cravings will always pass. Read books, go to AA or do some therapy, you have to educate yourself and find the reason why you wanted to escape in the first place. Once you have found this you can find peace and happiness!
Kerry: The thought is scarier than actually doing it. If you think you may have a problem then you probably do. No one will pressure you into giving up, but seek out Information and know that there are people waiting to support you through it!!
Wow so much of this is exactly how I have felt. I am 384 sober days today. Reading this reminds me of how far I have come in one year. People comment about how healthy I am and how great my skin looks. Alcohol was definitely taking its toll on me in more ways than one. Thanks so much for your story!!
What a great sober story, thank you for sharing it with us. I’m almost at 200 days and I am just beginning to explore feeling happy. Thank you for saying that happiness doesn’t come right away just because we’ve put down the bottle. It takes awhile and I’m glad to read that someone else went through the same thing with it.
Kerry, that’s an amazing, inspiring story, one of my favourites so far. Thank you for sharing.
kerry – you are amazing, thank you for this!! Such an inspiration.
It’s wonderful to see your happiness. 🙂 Almost 7 years! Fabulous. Thanks for sharing your story.
Thank God for your brother. I wonder if he had any idea or hope that his words would have such a dramatic effect.
Thank you Kerry! I really relate to just about every word. | 2019-04-25T14:10:57 | https://livingsober.org.nz/sober-story-kerry/ |

Early this week, the always exciting and entertaining ACC/Big 10 Challenge wrapped up. As the season is just about a month old, we can begin to take away a few things from the early action that has taken place and especially from what happen in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge. The Big 10, who had a record of 8-6 in the 14 games, won the challenge.
No. 1 Takeaway- North Carolina has some work to do.
Watching the North Carolina vs. Iowa game, two things were very clear: UNC is very dependent on the scoring of Marcus Paige and the Tar Heels need to shoot at a higher rate. UNC’s leading scorer in the game was not Paige but instead sophomore forward Kennedy Meeks who finished the game with 15 points and 12 rebounds. Meeks fouled out of the game with just less than two minutes left and the score tight. After Meeks was disqualified on fouls, it was apparent that the only way UNC would score was if the ball was in Paige’s hands. He was unable to create a solid scoring chance and was clearly affected by the size and strength in the paint that Iowa had. UNC will have to have a better post presence if they want to succeed in the tough ACC. If not for the 24 offensive rebounds that the Tar Heels had, they may have scored under 45 points. They shot a dismal 27.9 percent from the field and scored only 55 points. North Carolina’s defense played decent against Iowa but they still have work to do on that end of the court as well. The offense must improve though and cannot put too much pressure on the defense to hold teams to around 55 points or so to win games. The Tar Heels have a chance to be a Final Four team come April, but if they want to make it to Indianapolis their offensive production must improve.
No. 2 Takeaway- The Duo of Montrezl Harrell and Wayne Blackshear is a force to be reckoned with at Louisville.
When Montrezl Harrell decided to pull out of the NBA Draft and come back to Louisville for his junior year Rick Pitino had to be smiling from ear to ear. Harrell has proved why so far this season. Harrell coming into the season was already a tremendous all-around player, but he has added outside shooting to his arsenal of talent. Harrell is averaging close to 17 points a game and 9 rebounds. His fellow forward on the court Wayne Blackshear is playing at a high level as well. The 6’5” senior scored a season high 22 points against Ohio St. in the ACC/Big 10 challenge. Blackshear is not afraid to shoot the rock from behind the three-point line and shot 50 percent in the game against the Buckeyes. Along with Terry Rozier the Cardinals look to have the talent to win it all, but they must shoot better from the field. So far, Louisville is shooting under 43 percent from the field that ranks 210th in the nation.
Miami now sits at 8-0 and already has two wins over top 25 teams including a victory over in state rival Florida, who was ranked 8th at the time. The Hurricanes gained their second win over a top 25 opponent in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge defeating then-unbeaten Illinois. Miami is just two years replaced from winning both the ACC regular season and tournament championships and advancing to the Sweet 16. Coach Jim Larranaga has turned around a program that was in rough shape when he took over for Frank Haith in 2011. The Hurricanes have four players averaging double-digit points per game. Junior guard Sheldon McClellan leads the team in points averaging 16.5 a game. Also Tonye Jekiri has played well at the center position averaging eight points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. Miami is still unproven in some aspects of their game though. Miami has a tough road ahead playing in the loaded ACC, but could play devils advocate for teams such as Duke, Virginia, and Louisville.
No. 4 Takeaway- Wisconsin and Frank Kaminsky will be just fine.
The Badgers lost in their ACC/Big 10 Challenge game to Duke, but Bo Ryan’s team played well against the mighty Blue Devils. Wisconsin lost by 10 points but it was a fairly close game throughout. The fact still remains that the Badgers have one of the best offenses in the country and are led by one of the best big men, if not one of the best players in the country, Frank Kaminsky. Kaminsky came into this season as a Wooden Award candidate and still is. He is averaging 16.6 points and 8.8 rebounds a game so far. Kaminsky, standing seven foot tall, is a force in the paint but also has the ability to pull up and take long-range jumpers. With Nigel Hayes and Sam Dekker, along with Kaminsky, Wisconsin should be the favorite to win the Big 10 and be on the short list of possible champions.
Duke has looked as impressive as any team in the country early on. The Blue Devils freshman class is showing why it was one of the top ranked classes coming into the season. Freshman phenom Jahlil Okafor has proven to be one of the best players in the country and is skyrocketing up draft boards. Okafor leads the team, averaging over 17 points per game and 7.6 rebounds per game. Justise Winslow and Tyus Jones have been impressive as freshman alongside Okafor. Quinn Cook, a senior guard, has added the leadership and plays a large role being a senior leader on a team that for the most part is underclassman. Cook has not just impressed as a leader, he has showed his play on the court is just as good. Cook is shooting over 51 percent from the field and 42 percent from behind the arch. Many believe that this is the best team that Coach K’s has had since the 37-2 national runner-up team back in 1999. It would be such a treat to see Duke square off against Kentucky and if we are lucky enough we may just get that in the Final Four or maybe even in the National Championship Game.
This takeaway is more of a bonus and does not really have to do with the play on the court. Maryland took on Virginia in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge, a game where the seventh ranked Cavaliers beat 21st ranked Maryland. The odd thing is that this game would have been an ACC inter-conference matchup just last year. It just does not look or feel right having Maryland in the Big 10. Maryland had been an ACC staple for decades and was remembered for their spirited games against Duke. This move showed that the conferences and schools no longer care about tradition or geographical location. It is a shame that the only chance you will get to see these two teams face off is in a challenge between conferences.
To wrap up this first month of the college basketball season, here are a few predictions of mine heading into the final stretch of non-conference games. | 2019-04-20T16:35:20 | https://kcou.fm/what-we-learned-from-the-accbig-10-challenge/ |

We have opened a Downtown Los Angeles office, in the Financial District, to be closer to our Downtown customers and to be better positioned to utilize the Internet hub for the Pacific region as the Internet transitions into its “video” phase. The downtown address will serve as our primary mailing address, and our website’s contact information has already been updated. Please update your records.
The existing 818 phone number will continue to work and will ring our engineering lab in the San Fernando Valley.
Being a major business hub for over a century, Downtown Los Angeles has recently undergone a significant revival in terms of both business and entertainment to return to a vibrant city center appropriate for a 21st Century world-class city. We are proud to be more involved with the “new Downtown.” Let us show you around on your next visit! | 2019-04-18T15:01:58 | http://www.dataplex.com/blog/index.php/category/dataplex-management/ |
The building typology of the dwellings is two and three storey dwellings with flat roofs. The dwelling morphology contains a concrete façade finished with concrete panels, concrete floor and roof. The current energy label of the buildings is G. The dwellings are built in 1975 and owned by a social housing cooperation. The repetition of this building typology is high in the project of 79 but also in the neighbourhood. Special is that the dwellings are renovated in a habited condition using fully prefabricated façade elements. The elements already contain the doors, windows and exterior and interior finishing’s.
The Rc-value of the facades is 5,00 m2K/W and HR++ glazing is applied. The elements are mounted on the dwellings in 1 day. Energy savings are expected to be 60% compared to the pre-renovated situation. | 2019-04-26T06:31:07 | https://www.p2endure-project.eu/en/demonstration/lekkerkerk-the-netherlands |
The definitive book on this topic is entitled, “Adrenal Fatigue”, by James L Wilson, PhD, a self-help guide for all of us chronically stressed out members of the “rat race” suffering from this new 21st century epidemic. (1) In his book, Wilson outlines how to diagnose and treat adrenal fatigue, a syndrome not yet recognized by mainstream medicine and it should be. I found Chapter 10 on physical signs of adrenal fatigue the most useful. This chapter describes the findings on physical examination such as the unstable pupil, blood pressure reduction upon standing, and Sergent’s white line test.
Chapter eleven of Wilson’s book covers the different cortisol testing methods available for cortisol in saliva, blood, and urine, as well as the ACTH stimulation test. Wilson favors the four sample salivary cortisol test as the easiest and most convenient method; with the added advantage that salivary testing can be done at home without a doctor’s prescription.
Adrenal fatigue is the net result of years of continuous high cortisol output by the adrenals caused by chronic stress from job, family, illness, injury, and poor diet and lifestyle associated with high-tech modern living. After years of chronic stress, the two small triangular supra-renal glands poop out, and we become another casualty of adrenal fatigue, the 21st century epidemic. Since mainstream doctors can’t seem to help, either ignoring the syndrome, or prescribing SSRI anti-depressants for it, this self-help book may be a life-saver.
Low cortisol level adrenal fatigue will induce a protective state in which the body’s metabolic rate is reduced in order to cope with low cortisol levels. The body compensates by reducing thyroid function by shunting thyroid hormone production into the reverse T3 pathway, the inactive form of thyroid hormone. This creates a functional low thyroid state which will show up on thyroid labs. Treating the patient with thyroid hormone under this scenario is a common error and a pitfall to be avoided. Giving thyroid hormone to a patient with low cortisol adrenal fatigue will only make the patient feel worse. The low adrenal function must be addressed first before attempting to raise thyroid levels. This is done with a salivary cortisol test and a nutritional supplement program over 6 weeks as described above. In the event the patient is already taking thyroid hormone medication which doesn’t seem to be working or is not tolerated, this is a red flag that most likely cause is low cortisol adrenal fatigue. Once this is addressed, the patient will do well with thyroid medication.

Are you bored with the speed that most reels offer? Here is a good deal for you that will offer you the speed you need while you do not have to break your bank to get it. The Deukio reel has a gear rating of 7.1:1 while most fishing reels come with a 5.2:1 ratio. Now, what does that do? That speeds you up! You might expect there to be other shortcomings with the higher speed but there is barely any. Apparently, you might even get a smoother performance than you expect. This reel features six bearings that are placed effectively and thus smooth up your path. However, you cannot attach lines that are too long or too heavy on this reel. One reason is it won’t be capable to take it on and another is that the line will probably break or get tangled.
Now, if you are alright with that, that being fishing more in the bail casting style, then you can consider this reel. Apparently, the rotor is ultralight and u-shaped for keeping it all balanced. The metal shallow spool is sealed and fat so you can expect it to fasten things up. With the anti-corrosion body of the reel, you can expect it to last long with low maintenance. However, if you want to use it in saltwater, you have to take care of its well after each session. You can spend hours catching big fish without any fatigue thanks to the comfortable EVA grip handle this reel features.

The high gear ratio of 7.1:1 makes it perform really fast.
Perfectly placed bearings make it perform smooth.
Similar to bail casting style of fishing.
Suitable for both fresh and saltwater.
Great value for the price.
Is the portability of your reel of importance to you? If it is, no reel can satisfy you as much as this one. Apparently, you can fold the reel handle easily by just pressing a certain button. Then, you can carry it and store it anywhere easily. However, it’s not just the portability that’s a wow factor; in this case, a lot of other things are too. With a gear ratio of 5.5:1, this reel offers you a moderate amount of speed for your fishing strolls. It does not stop there; you also have ten ball bearings with another roller bearing to thank for the smoothness you will be chilling with. Moreover, you do not have to worry about feeding the bail as it features an auto trip bait feeding system. Now, you might be concerned about the quality. But, it’s nothing to be concerned about here.
Apparently, you get an anodized aluminum spool so you do not have to worry about reactions. Furthermore, more or less all the parts are of high-quality and the bail wire is also stainless steel and corrosion resistant. You also get Multi-disk Japanese oiled felt drag washers and a drag with a Hydro Water Block Seal. Moreover, you do not have to worry about the line tangling either as it features an S-curve oscillation system. The machined aluminum handle knob will keep you comfortable as well.
Easy to fold with just the click of a button.
Great quality builds with aluminum and stainless steel.
Not capable of accommodating too long, thick or heavy lines.
The bail trip mechanism may not be efficient.
If tolerating broken lines is a big issue for you then the Abu Garcia Revo should be your go-to reel. Because it will provide you with the least number of broken lines in its lifetime. Another highlight of this reel is its high gear rating. Like Deukio reel, this reel also has a rating of 7.1:1 which makes it super high-speed. Therefore, you will be able to spread long casts without any worry of line breakage and also retrieve the line fast. Furthermore, this reel is famous for its great drag system. The Carbon Matrix drag system in it keeps it under consistent pressure to keep it going smoothly. Furthermore, the smooth performance is enhanced by the six ball bearings that come instilled in this reel. You also get a roller bearing to deal with threats when a fish fights bag too aggressively.
The quality and build of this reel will not disappoint you either. Apparently, it has an alloy frame with corrosion resistance which makes it suitable for both fresh and saltwater fishing. Furthermore, it has a compact and sturdy design while it feels really light in your hands. You can expect both performance and comfort from this reel. However, one drawback is its price. While it has great features and quality, many better reels are available at the same price range. So, it’s up to you if you like the combination of pros and cons that this reel offers for the price.
Smooth performance and retrieve due to six ball bearings.
Quality material that is corrosion-resistant.
Features a few sharp edges probably as a style which might make it uncomfortable to hold.
Not the best value for the price.
The bail may create issues.
If other materials than metal make you insecure about the quality of the reel, here is a reel that is made completely of metal parts for you. Yes, Each and every part of this reel is apparently, metal. You have the aluminum body, the aluminum die-castings, and even the spool is anodized aluminum! So, you do not have to worry about the parts falling apart. Moreover, they do not leave the line alone either. The line is coated with titanium-nitride and has an anti-twist system. Apparently, the line is twisted throughout to avoid tangles. The drag system is another part that will amaze you with its smoothness, strength, and efficiency. It is made of carbon fiber and nothing else would have been so perfect for it. With a gear ratio of 5.2:1, it will provide you with just enough speed for every fight.
The reel has 10+1 bearing that keeps it moving smoothly and you in peace. You will get different mono and braid line capacity to choose from and you will be satisfied with it. The techno-balanced rotor will ease up all the process for you as well. With all these features and the metal body, you would expect it to weight a ton but it does not. In fact, it weighs only 6.8 oz. Furthermore, you will feel comfortable as you will have some flexibility of shifting between your two hands on the reel.
All metal durable and strong builds.
Twisted anti-tangle line system coated with titanium nitride.
Moderate gear ratio offering moderate speed.
Good for both saltwater and freshwater.
Smooth and efficient drag system.
The smaller sizes may prove to be too small.
No matter how hard you will occasionally come across the adjectives- cheap, heavy-duty, and comfortable together at one place. And, this is such a case. If you want to enjoy everything there is to the fishing world with a reel at its best, this is a great reel for you at a low price. In fact, it is a size bigger than the previous model we reviewed. With the bigger size, you can expect to deal with harder resistance from bigger fishes well. The aluminum body with aluminum dies castings and a stainless steel shaft will keep you going smoothly for quite a long time without trouble. Moreover, the techno-balanced rotor will also make things not just smoother but stronger for you.
You do not even have to worry about the line tangling as they are already twisted throughout to avoid further twisting yay. The gear ratio of 5.2:1 also provides a decent speed. You will get maximum efficiency from the PTFE carbon drag system thanks to its consistency. If you are worried about comfort, don’t worry. Because the handle will accept both your hands so you can save yourself from fatigue over and over again. You can attach monolines of 170/4 or 135/5 and braid lines of 160/25 or 130/30. Lastly, with all these features and quality materials, the reel does not weigh a ton but 6.8 oz.
Handles bigger species really well.
Sturdy, good-quality build that makes the reel of high-quality.
Comfortable to use as the handle can be used by both hands.
Apparently, it might feel too light.
Do you love innovation and to try them out? The Zebco Smoke S3 will offer you a whole new design that does not have two separate parts but one main part that works harbors everything. Apparently, this enhances a reel’s ability to perform consistently, smoothly and be more durable. You get an asymmetric body of high-strength aluminum with a one-piece aluminum frame. The carbon fiber-ceramic- carbon drag system has only earned praises for its efficiency everywhere. You get 11+1 bearing with a continuous anti-reverse clutch that keeps you going smoothly. Furthermore, with a gear ratio of 6.0:1, you can go for aggressive currents without any worries thanks to the speed it will have.
It also has a super-smooth oscillation system and a good line management system as well. You get the braid capacity of 220/20 and mono capacity of 150/10 which are fairly decent limits. As the bearing is anti-corrosion as well, you do not have to think twice before going into saltwater. Furthermore, the reel has a handle that you can use with both the left and right hand. So, it is quite comfortable for long sessions of fishing. While the design and everything else is top-notch, the reel still costs a bit too much compared to what others offer at the same price.
Innovative, smart and unique design.
Fewer chances of different parts malfunctioning as they are linked to one.
Good speed with a high gear ratio.
11+1 bearings make it quite smooth.
High-quality materials used in the builds that makes it very durable.
If you skip learning and knowing more about the various types of reels with different specifications, you will just lose a game that you never even tried to win, so, it’s on you. Our buying guides on best inshore spinning reel help to a newbie to take a right decision for purchasing an inshore fishing reel.
1. What Species Do You Usually Catch And Where Do You Fish?
Does not matter if you are looking for a rod or a reel, this is something you must determine for any kind of shopping-related to fishing. You have to consider this even when you buy a basket to hold your fish. By species, we actually mean the size of the fishes you will be catching. With bigger species, you definitely need more powerful reels and with smaller species, moderate reels.
Since you are looking for an inshore reel, you probably fish in water with the highest depth of thirty meters. Another consideration is, however, the kind of water you are fishing in. Is it saltwater or fresh? Determine all these factors and then consider the reel features so that you can tackle each of these considerations with the highest score.
2. How Much Should Your Budget Be?
When it comes to reel shopping, it is best to determine your budget first. In order to determine your budget, it is important that you consider your skill level and also your goals. With higher skills and goals, your budget demands to be high as well. Because a beginner level reel won’t satisfy your needs well. On the other hand, if you are a beginner, you should not spend too much as you can damage a too expensive reel with by mishandling. Furthermore, you do not even know if you will continue fishing. However, make sure your budget is not too low as a reel of such low-quality will force you to give up fishing with its performance. It is suggested you buy a reel at around 120 dollars.
3. What Should Be The Material Of The Reel?
You will usually come across reels made either of graphite or aluminum. Now, which should you choose? If you are looking for lightweight reels which are resistant to corrosion than graphite is the one. You will find it really useful for saltwater fishing as it won’t corrode easily. However, the power and durability of the reel are something you need to compromise in this case. Similarly, if you want durability and strength from the reels, aluminum is what you should consider. However, as aluminum is a metal it is not naturally corrosion-resistant. So, you have to look for aluminum reels that have some kind of coating of bronze or have an anodized finish.
But, these are more expensive and heavier than graphite ones. So, depending on your budget and the type of water you fish in, also the required power of the reel, the decision about the material is made.
4. High Or Low Gear Ratio?
Do you want your catch to be in your hand immediately after it responds or do you want to slowly but certainly bring it to yourself? Depending on the answer to this question, you have to choose between a high gear ratio and a low one. Apparently, high gear ratio allows you to bring your prey in faster. This reduces the chances of it escaping when it struggles. Most people usually opt for the higher gear ratio because why not. However, the low gear ratio is also useful when your prey is extra strong and puts up a good fight. Because low gear ratio gives you more power while compromising speed. Even if you lose against your target, you will lose like a hero after putting up a good strong but slow fight with a low gear ratio.
However, you get the options to switch between the two gear ratios in some of the reels. If you cannot decide between the two, it’s best if you look for one that provides both.
5. Do You Want Higher Bearing Count Or Lower?
You might prefer bringing in your prey slowly but you will never in eternity prefer being stuck mid-way. What will help you to avoid such situations is a high bearing count. The bearing is basically ball-like things keeping your reel operating smoothly. The higher they are in number, the more smoothly your reel will rotate and perform. However, there is the higher chance of one malfunctioning when you have too many bearing balls. Therefore, opt for a higher bearing count but make sure they are of high quality or else you will suffer.
6. What Should The Overall Build And Material Combinations Be Like?
Apparently, lower costs come with lower weights. While you may feel comfortable holding the rod for hours, it won’t really be for years because it won’t be durable. The lower weight and price comes from cheap plastic pieces attached as various parts. However, not all plastic parts are of low-quality. Some parts function best when made with plastic.
The expensive reels will usually come with higher weights because of more durable materials used. Their powers will also be higher. Apparently, expensive reels often use metal alloys in their builds instead of just metals.
7. Which Drag System Do You Need?
If you are a beginner, it is best to choose the rear drag as it is easier to handle. However, if you are targeting big fishes, the front drag system will be the best option. While it is not easy to handle you can still learn it through practice as it will stay with you through challenging times. Apparently, the front drag system has the strength and technique to deal with the challenges that come with fishing big fishes better.
8. What Is The Weight And Length Of The Line The Reel Can Bear?
With longer lines come longer weights. If you need to cast long lines or short, make sure the reel’s line capacity allows it to bear the weight and length of the line you plan to attach to it. The line is spiraled on the reel so if it exceeds the reel’s length, it won’t function properly as it will get tangled. Again, if it exceeds the line weight limit, you won’t be able to balance it when you fish. Therefore, determine the length and weight of the line you need to use and check that the reel allows is compatible with it.
For inshore fishing, heavier lines are suggested as the lines have to deal with rough and rocky surfaces. So, it is best if you choose a reel with high line capacity.
9. What Kind Of Bail Do You Need?
Apparently, the line does not magically wrap around the spool of the reel, the bail does that for you. There are basically two mechanisms that bails work in. The one is the traditional method where you have to do everything quite manually, by opening the bail and then pushing a trigger to release the line. Another is the latest Quantum Hypercast Ultra that performs efficiently and accurately without even considering the bail position. So, less pressure on you provide greater performance. However, the second mechanism will definitely cost more and might propose more mechanical challenges.
Yes, apparently, it’s not only the handles that help make the rod comfortable. The reel does too. The main comfort issue related to reels is the ability to switch hands when using it. You won’t be fishing for seconds on water but staying for hours. It is natural to get tired when you continuously keep your hands in the same position. So, you can look for reels that allow you to use it by switching hands for added comfort.
What do you need for fishing? Not much really. Just a few buckets maybe and your fishing gear. When you have a reel with you, you can easily pack it up and escape to your escape in a matter of minutes. Seconds, if the lake or sea is nearby.
With traditional methods, there was a lot of manual labor involved like perfectly placing things and then using strength and strategy simultaneously to catch a fish. But, when a spinning reel is involved you get to relax a bit. Most often you just have to sit there and wait until a fish pecks. All you have to do next is guide the reel and rod to bring the fish in.
Since spinning reels do not have various parts to which you have to attend to manually, it is much easier to learn by using a spinning reel. Most often, people who are beginning and are more prone to give it up, start with a spinning reel and get stuck in the fishing world permanently.
With time you may have noticed that the more the humans advance the more stable and less physical they become. So, in order to earn that innovative smartness to show off a bit of a strategic game, it is necessary you reduce your physical input (which might prove to be too much of strain on your health) in this fishing field. And, spinning reels help you do that.
Spend a day in the water, trying to catch fish with your hands. Even if you touch some, I will be surprised if you bring any up. Spinning reels will help you retrieve fishes efficiently and fast. So, you will end up with more fishes than you expected in your basket.
When it comes to inshore fishing, your line has to face a number of obstacles that come with shallow waters. Like, the ground and the plants themselves, accompanied by rocks. In these cases, for the best durability and performance, you should buy an inshore reel that can deal with these obstacles with its strength.
Q. Is There Anything Extra To Be Taken Care Of For Fishing In Saltwater Inshore?
Answer: You do not exactly have to go too far when you care for your reel after a day in saltwater. Apparently, you just need to cleanse more frequently. Saltwater can harm your reel if it stays and dries up on your reel too many times. So, it is necessary that you do not let that happen. The extra care is basically that you have to clean and dry it after each use. It is best to clean with mild soapy water as that will take care of any other germ.
Remember those times when you ordered something online and were completely disappointed in what you received? Apparently, that does not just happen online. You could check the product with your hands and still be disappointed when you use it. Unless defects are involved, such cases most often arise when you do not know what to consider. In our buying guides section, we have discussed thoroughly different factors for purchasing the best inshore spinning reel.
Since you have to be dependent on fishing reels while fishing, the wrong one will inhibit your gains. Therefore, you have to check each specification out carefully and also check your requirements. Or else you will never end up with the best inshore spinning reel.
So, buy with your brain and a good experience will follow.

~ Parent "Connections" Meeting Saturday, August 25 from 4 PM to 6 PM in Naperville. Bring your family and mingle with other families who have children with hearing loss. Games and crafts for the kids. Pizza, soda, and dessert will be served. Childcare provided. Admission is free for Illinois Hands and Voices Members, $10 per family for non-members. Requests for interpreters must be made by August 15. Please RSVP by August 20. For any questions or to become a member, contact Illinois Hands and Voices at http://ilhandsandvoices.org or email [email protected] or call 630-697-3544.
"Megan, who has been deaf since birth, joined the Girl Scouts in kindergarten, her mother said. At the time, her mother requested that an interpreter be present at Scouting activities, and the Girl Scouts agreed to that, she said.
But in the fall of 2011, the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana told Runnion that the "council does not pay for these services," the lawsuit alleged. Runnion made another request in October for her daughter to have an interpreter for a rock climbing event the next month.
But the local council complied only after Equip for Equality, a Chicago-based advocacy group for people with physical or mental disabilities, and the National Association for the Deaf sent a letter requesting an interpreter for the event, according to the lawsuit.
The Girl Scouts called the measure temporary and said it was in the process of forming a uniform policy, the lawsuit alleged. In January, Megan and her mother were at a troop dinner when the leaders broke the news that the troop was disbanding immediately, Runnion said.
"Inspired by the life of deaf UFC fighter, Matt Hamill, The Hammer tells the story of what it takes to be a champion, on and off the mat. The Hammer is a coming of age drama depicting the struggles and successes of what it takes to become a champion. Raised among those with the ability to hear, Matt later finds himself no less an outsider amidst the Deaf Community. But through sheer determination, he uses his 'perceived' disability as an asset, and becomes not only the first deaf wrestler to win a National Collegiate Championship, but an inspirational force to both hearing and deaf alike."
" You might think a pre-school for children who are deaf or hard of hearing would be quiet, but you'd be surprised. There are several different approaches to teaching deaf children to communicate. Some focus on sign language, others on listening and speaking. This school does both. It's the Center for Early Intervention on Deafness known as C.E.I.D.
"Our model of communication is called total communication. We believe in using every avenue to help children develop their listening, spoken language and communication skills," said Jill Ellis, the C.E.I.D. executive director.
Ellis founded C.E.I.D. in Berkeley more 32 years ago. I first visited in 1998. C.E.I.D. began teaching deaf children and very quickly it was obvious they needed to teach parents sign language too.
"One of the first shocks to me was when one of the kids woke up to tell me the next day at school he had a bad dream. I thought, 'You couldn't tell your parents, you had no way to communicate with your own parents what happened.' They didn't sign and many times they didn't have the expectation that their children even could communicate," said Ellis.
But now expectations are as high as for any hearing child. C.E.I.D. has a state of the art building, comprehensive services for preschoolers with a range of hearing loss, and many kids who benefit from technological advances in hearing aids and cochlear implants.
As for that class of six toddlers I visited 14 years ago, two are now juniors in high school and four just graduated. All are headed to college. I was proud to host a program honoring the five students who still live in the Bay Area and I had a great time re-connecting with them. That little girl who helped me sign years ago, Davana Jackson-Robertson, she's going to Gallaudet University in Washington D.C. "
Camp HERO is a weeklong summer experience at Bloomsburg University that began July 29 and runs through Friday. The program, called "Bringing Music to our Souls" and is piloted by Allentown Symphony's education initiative El Sistema Lehigh Valley, teaches students to use interpretive dance, melody bell choir and a variety of percussion instruments to make their own music.
" Karns' team found that the deaf subjects were not only processing both the touch and visual responses through the hearing part of their brains, but they were also far more likely to associate these inputs through something called the "double flash illusion."
Using the head apparatus, researchers "flashed a light to each subject's eye once, and then at the exact same moment we touched their face with two little puffs of air, so that the flash and the puff-puff were right at the same time," Karns said, explaining her experiment. While deaf subjects reported seeing two flashes, their hearing peers didn't see anything out of the ordinary, just one burst of light.
"I had the idea that maybe in people born deaf, touch and vision would be interacting more closely because these two senses have had more time to get to know each other during development, without sound monopolizing the conversation in the auditory cortex," said Karns, "and it turned out to be true." (She noted that a similar double-flash illusion happens in hearing individuals, but the association tends to be between sound and vision, rather than touch -- a "beep-beep" triggers it, rather than a "puff-puff".)"
"The Kaos Signing Choir for deaf and hearing children is the only integrated deaf and hearing children's choir in Great Britain. During the opening ceremony, the choir was featured singing and signing the national anthem 'God Save the Queen'. Just after the Queens dramatic entry by parachute, the children's choir took centre stage in pyjamas and did brilliantly to perform confidently with clear signing in front of the world audience."
Summary: "Rebecca Moyes, a teacher, author, renowned lecturer, and mother of a child with Asperger's Syndrome, helps walk any regular education or special education teacher through the process of setting up a sensory-friendly classroom in this easy to use book.
This is currently the only book that discusses the importance of data-driven strategies, and then helps teachers implement them! Sensory integration disorder often presents as a behavioral problem; thus, although it's an internal state, it has to be addressed based on what observable behaviors are seen in the child. Rebecca is able to take the data and work out how to make any student's, (and teacher's!), life easier." | 2019-04-22T02:58:00 | http://www.isrc.us/sites/default/files/doc/DigitalUpdate0812.html |
Love this story. Love this article about this story. Thank you.

This article - with the usual mix of decent-to-good facts reportage and mind numbingly stupid speculation and conclusions we've come to expect from Wired- reminds us that no matter how good your system is, one guy with credit card debt on the night shift can ruin your entire day.
That's not to say that the possibility of hacking access control and surveillance systems shouldn't be considered, of course, but... Occam's Razor, people, especially when the bad guys seem to be fortuitously positioned to take advantage of a massive systems failure. Come on.
Ari's title for this post is fitting.
Why aren't there cameras on all of the operator touch-points of the system, both mechanical and computer? Are the operator audit trails really sufficient? Most, but not all, lack important detail.
I'm continually amazed when I review systems, to see a lack of audit trail controls, lack of two-person controls, and so on. Often the design process is weak, likely scenarios aren't designed for or tested for, and the system starts off with significant vulnerabilities.
In one of the article photos you can see a web-cam on the touch-screen. Is that for GoToMeeting video use, chatting with your friends on breaks, or does the system record who is at the console when operator actions are taken?
The same photo also shows the computer CPU box on the desktop right next to the monitor, keyboard and mouse. I'll bet the USB ports aren't locked down. Forget about the fact that you could unlock doors and cells and then walk away with the control console!
Although I've only been involved in a few after-the-fact investigations for jail/prison incidents, each time the supposed "glitch" was operator intentional subterfuge. In one situation, a computer savvy police officer would manually delete transactions from the access control system's database, to erase records of access to the evidence locker. Evidence and drugs were was disappearing with no apparent cause. Video (at that time) was on VCR tapes, which were doctored and had no chain of custody or truly secure physical storage.
I'm definitely not saying all systems are highly vulnerable, but I am saying that not all systems are sufficiently secure.
The first "computer glitch" should have triggered a serious system examination and a correction of system and process vulnerabilities.
Back in the DOS access control system days, it was common for security officers in office buildings or parking lots to reboot the access control software computer (under the desk of the reception or security counter) to run game software on the midnight shift. Mysteriously, alarms were not being received by the computer during the middle of the night shift! These situations were easily found and documented by logging boot-ups and installing TSR software that would take periodic screen shots.
In the days of Windows 3.1 when DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) was all the rage for access control software, it was fun to use DDE Spy to capture and then play back the "unlock door" commands, and demo for the vendor sales people that it was possible to unlock doors without their Windows software running, or even installed!
But there are often operator-level and process-level vulnerabilities with system deployments, and I rarely see these addressed.
Any system is only secure and trustworthy as the people who configure and operate it. | 2019-04-20T20:52:15 | https://ipvm.com/forums/video-surveillance/topics/your-system-is-only-as-secure-as-the-operators |

Joseph Lemasolai Lekuton gives American kids a firsthand look at growing up in Kenya as a member of a tribe of nomads whose livelihood centers around the raising and grazing of cattle. Readers share Lekutonâ??s first encounter with a lion, the epitome of bravery in the warrior tradition.
In this elegant pictorial biography of Martin Luther King Jr., author Doreen Rappaport combines her spare, lyrical text with King's own words for an effective, age-appropriate portrayal of one of the world's greatest civil rights leaders. From King's youth, when he looked up to his preacher father and vowed one day to "get big words, too," to his death at a garbage workers' strike ("On his second day there, he was shot. He died."), Rappaport imbues the story with reverence.
Beset by one shattering ordeal after another, world-renowned painter Frida Kahlo always managed to channel her anguish into creativity. Frida, by Jonah Winter and illustrator Ana Juan, is an exquisite and playful glimpse into the artist's life and work. Filled with the folk art icons of Frida's Mexican culture--monkeys, devils, smiling skeletons, and sympathetic jaguars depicted with acrylics and wax on paper--the book describes, in short streams of text, the feisty, irreverent, fierce nature of the artist.
Anastasia is a carefree young duchess, daughter of Nicholas Alexandrovitch Romanov, tsar of all the Russias in 1914. While her father attends to the turbulent affairs of a vast and complex country, Anastasia's major concerns are how to get out of her detested schoolwork to play in the snow, go ice skating, or have picnics. She wears diamonds and rubies, and every morning her mother tells her which matching outfit she and her three sisters shall wear that day. Slowly a hint of future trouble enters her happy, pampered life.
Most children are captivated by snow, but how many go on to make it their lifework? This beautiful biography, winner of the 1999 Caldecott Medal, tells the true story of a Vermont farm boy who was mesmerized by snowflakes. Wilson Bentley was fascinated by the six-sided frozen phenomena, and once he acquired a microscope with a camera, his childhood preoccupation took on a more scientific leaning.

Timber decks are marvelously flexible structures that can be designed and built to suit you, your family and your property. They make great additions to homes of all ages and are superb for businesses like pubs, clubs, hotels and restaurants that want to create an attractive outdoor room for their customers to enjoy.
If your query isn’t covered then please make contact with us and will get back to you.
The coating on my deck boards is flaking off?
The key thing about coloring deck boards is that the coating that you use is suitable for the purpose. Products that are intended for use on vertical surfaces like cladding, doors and windows have properties that do not lend themselves to flat surfaces that are subject to footfall and particularly the movement of timber as it responds to changes in moisture content throughout the season. This is the primary cause of peeling and lifting.
SANTAVI ensures the type of product you need is the one designed specifically for decks in that they penetrate rather than coat the surface and are resistant to scuffing by footfall.
Does treated timber vary in color from one piece to another?
Treated timber will have variations in color between one piece and another. This is due to the relative proportions of heartwood and sapwood in each piece. Sapwood is more permeable than heartwood and so takes up more preservative which results in an initial variation of color from green (sapwood) to beige (heartwood). Once installed and exposed to the elements, the initial strength of color fades to a warm, honey brown and in the long term will become a natural silver grey all over.
Remember, timber is a natural product and variations in character are to be expected. Occasionally timber containing high or mobile resin levels can give a blue coloration at the time of treatment, however this fades rapidly into the overall natural green/beige color.
Do decks need planning permission?
Timber decks differ from conventional patios and terraces most significantly in their elevation and general height of construction.
For all but the simplest, low-level garden deck, property owners should satisfy themselves that planning regulations do not apply to their proposed structure.
In addition to contacting your Local Authority, we strongly recommend that you talk to all your neighbors about your plans. Neighbor objections are the most usual reason for planning refusal or enforcement notices after completion. Local Authorities can insist that structures are dismantled and removed where consent should have been obtained, but was not.
How long will a timber deck last?
A timber deck should provide years and years of pleasure. That’s because SANTAVI only uses naturally durable timber species or rot proof pressure-preserved wood in our construction. If the deck has been built using the correct materials and good building practices then it will last almost indefinitely if properly serviced and looked after.
Are decks slippery in wet weather?
The key factor in preventing slipperiness is to ensure that the deck surface is kept clean and surface deposits such as mildew, algae and fine mosses are kept at bay for it is these deposits that cause slipperiness on any surface, even stone flags, in wet weather.SANTAVI recommends to give decked surfaces a frequent brush with a stiff broom and to give them a thorough clean once a year in spring or autumn using either a power spray washer or an approved SANTAVI proprietary deck cleaning product.
Will grooved deck boards perform better than plain ones in preventing slipperiness?
By far the majority of timber decks, boardwalks and piers built around the world are surfaced with plain timber boards. Whilst grooved deck boards are often marketed as “anti-slip” there is no evidence to suggest that they perform any better or worse than plain decking. Choice of deck board style is therefore a matter of personal preference.
A fall of around 1:100 should be built into a deck to help the surface drain and prevent standing water. Grooved deck boards were actually designed to aid water drainage and as such should be laid in the direction of the fall away from any adjoining property.
Where there is a higher than normal requirement to prevent the risk of slipperiness, for example on ramps, stairs, bridges or on public/commercial installations then deck boards with built-in abrasive strips can be used.
What fixings does SANTAVI recommend?
Fixings used out of doors should be corrosion resistant to prevent rusting and weakness of the structure in subsequent years. Nails can be used for fixing – but screws are ideal. Screw size should be three times the thickness of boards and they should be positioned not closer than 25mm to edges and countersunk below the surface. Fixing points at the ends of boards should be pre-drilled to prevent splitting. All screw points in hardwood deck boards should be pre-drilled 2mm oversize and countersunk before fixing.
The advantage of screws over nails is that they are more secure than nails and enable boards to be lifted easily to gain access below the deck for maintenance or repair or fixing lights and can be re-tightened if necessary.
When should decks have a balustrade?
Balustrades (or parapets) on decks can serve several functions, ranging from simple decorative boundaries to full safety barriers. Even a small change of level can be a hazard, particularly for elderly or infirm users.
Unless the deck surface is flush with the surrounding ground level, a parapet or edge protection detail should be incorporated. For very low-level structures, this may take the form of a simple decorative rail, a trellis panel, a raised planter box, a bench or seat, etc.
How do I keep my deck looking good?
All decks will benefit from regular brushing with a good stiff broom on a frequent basis throughout the year. Once a year, in Spring or Autumn, SANTAVI recommend giving your deck a more thorough cleaning using a pressure spray or a purpose made Decking Cleaner which is formulated to remove grease and discoloration and restore the look of the wood. Keeping the deck surface clean in this way not only keeps it looking like new it also reduces the conditions that cause any surface to be slippery when wet.
Unless a deck is painted with a stain, the original color of the timber used will fade gradually when exposed to the elements. Whether your deck is made from a deeply colored hardwood or the more mellow hues of a softwood species it will fade over time to a pleasant grey. However, using a clear water repellent coating will help to prevent fading.
Timber is a natural product and as your deck timbers weather, small cracks are likely to appear on the surface of the boards. These are caused by the intermittent wetting and drying of the wood and are part of the character of wood. They have no structural effect whatsoever. This natural ageing process can be slowed by the annual use of a clear water repellent coating.
Please contact SANTAVI to discuss an annual service option to ensure your deck looks and feels the same as when installed.
Resin is coming out of the timber?
Some types of timber contain a resin that may exude from the surface of the timber in hot weather and create rings of crusty white powder around knots in the timber. This resin is not at all harmful and can be removed from the surface of the timber with a stiff brush. It is unlikely that resin will continue to exude after the deck has been through its first summer.
Can I personalize my deck?
Yes – timber decks can be customized to your own style and decorative taste. The choice of additional design features – balustrades, pergolas, trellises, steps and so on – is almost infinite. The nice thing about timber decking is that it can be extended, or another level or a feature can be added in the future to enhance your enjoyment.
Will a deck support a Jacuzzi or Pergola?
Yes, a deck can be designed to support almost anything you want to put on it. Jacuzzi’s have become very popular but when full weigh several tons. It is vital that the decking structure is purpose designed by a structural engineer and appropriate stress graded timber used. For decks that are intended to carry loads like this we recommend contacting a specialist such as ourselves.
How much should I expect to pay for a deck?
The price of a timber deck will obviously vary enormously depending on design and size and so on. A professionally designed and installed deck compared to other major home improvements, such as a new kitchen or conservatory, decks are great value. Professional deck designers and installers have the knowledge and experience to ensure that you end up with a quality product that will last a long time and perform marvelously.
Can I install my own timber deck, or do I need professional help?
Using a professional deck designer and installers will give you the peace of mind that your deck has been designed and installed to the highest industry standards. Using a decking professional will give you access to the wealth of designs possible and top advice on finishes and maintenance procedures – of course it is possible for the DIY enthusiast to tackle decking, although a fair degree of competence is required.
Will I be hurting the environment if I use timber?
Not at all! The sort of wood used in timber decking comes from responsible producers who insist on proper management of their resources.

When it approved the resolution plan, the EC has not imposed 'burden-sharing' measures for subordinated debt and hybrid securities other than those decided for the first round of state support received in 2008 and requiring that the group pays coupons on its subordinated debt instruments only if deemed contractually mandatory. The absence of additional 'burden sharing' (such as forced haircuts) has alleviated the risk of losses for DCL's lower Tier 2 subordinated debt (XS0307581883 and XS0284386306) which have contractually mandatory coupon payment.

I have a very healthy mint plant that I need to trim from time to time to keep it from over growing. This past week I had some more clippings and of course, I couldn’t let them go to waste. Usually I’ll make a cup of tea with them since it’s quick and simple, but this time I really wanted to make something fun. That’s when I came across this fresh mint olive oil cake.
The original recipe didn’t include chocolate chips and it had a labneh cheese and honey topping, but I wanted something a bit more sweet that I knew my kids would dig into, so I made a couple of alterations to the recipe by adding the chocolate chips, and frosting it with a chocolate buttercream. I think this recipe would also work well just baked in a bundt pan and dusted with a bit of powdered sugar once cooled. It would make it a tad less sweet, but it would go perfectly with a nice hot cup of tea. I think I’ll do that next time.
Using fresh mint in this cake does tint the batter green a bit. The more you pack the cup full of mint leaves, the darker green it will be. I didn’t pack my cup so my cake turned out a very pale green, which doesn’t show very well in my pictures. I say this so you won’t be surprised if you end up with a green cake. I also wanted to up the mint flavor a bit so I added a couple drops of Young Living’s Peppermint essential oil from their Vitality line. Adding the peppermint essential oil isn’t necessary. You’ll still get a mint flavor to the cake without it, it will just be mild.
Rinse the mint leaves and then ring them out very well. In a high powered blender, blend the mint and milk together until very smooth. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, almond meal, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and lemon zest. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil and sugar until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking very well after each, and then add the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and mint mixture in three alternating additions, whisking after each until just combined (leaving a trace of flour in the bowl when adding the chocolate chips will help prevent over mixing). Add the 1 cup of chocolate chips and stir in gently. Pour into the pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean; begin checking for doneness at 25 minutes. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Level off the tops.
Mix powdered sugar and cocoa powder together in either a stand mixer or medium sized bowl. Then add the butter and melted chocolate and beat until smooth. Add a splash a milk if buttercream is too thick.
Frost the top of the bottom cake layer and then place the second cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the whole cake and then serve. | 2019-04-18T16:39:25 | https://disholicioussite.blog/2019/01/21/fresh-mint-and-chocolate-chip-olive-oil-cake-with-chocolate-buttercream/ |

"Accepting the whole Bible as inspired and authoritative, this church believes that it should all be preached. This means that we have a freedom bounded only by the revealed will of God to preach truth and to condemn error..."
I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house, testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, constrained by the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there, except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me. But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. And now, behold, I know that none of you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom will see my face again. Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all, for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
The bounds of the minister's freedom is the Word of God itself, and that freedom ought to be maintained in the Church of Jesus Christ. Pulpit freedom, like in the life of the Apostle Paul, leads to fearless Christ-centered living.
Pray for your pastor that he may enjoy the freedom of expounding the whole Scriptures. Pray that congregations would love their minister enough to afford him this freedom. Pray that Christ would raise up young men to boldly proclaim the whole counsel of God. Pray that pulpit freedom would result in the conversion of sinners and the building up of saints.
Many who are looking for new church homes have stated that they are tired of the safe, predicable, watery, and simplistic preaching that does not change hearts, minds or lives. May freedom ring in our pulpits. May Jesus Christ and the whole counsel of God be proclaimed unto his glory! | 2019-04-21T02:25:26 | https://gentlereformation.com/2014/12/05/let-pulpit-freedom-ring/ |

Generation Y, born between 1980 and 2000, is fast becoming the biggest percentage of the workforce. It makes sense then to tailor your learning and development activity to their needs and preferences. And one of these is very definitely video.
Research reveals that over 70% of millennials use YouTube to watch educational and how-to videos. And they’re not just watching. Every minute of every day more than 100 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube. This is the generation that communicates via images and video.
Make videos a key part of your induction/onboarding and ongoing training programme. Millennials are used to learning from videos. More and more schools and universities are using it, so it’s what they expect. Forget two-day classroom-based training courses. That’s old hat. What millennials want is specific information, clearly presented in short chunks. Research has shown that shorter, focused bursts of information — often referred to as microlearning — are not only more budget-friendly, but also produce better results.
Give them on-demand access to informational videos. What you want, when you want it is the essence of today’s media. Your training videos should be the same. Create a library of them and let the millennials seek out information as they need it.
Encourage social learning by giving your employees the tools to record and share knowledge freely with an easy-to-use enterprise video platform. With just a laptop and a webcam, or a mobile phone, they can record videos to share insights with their colleagues.
Make your videos searchable. In the modern world the answer to everything is just a Google search away. With the ability to search for any word spoken or shown in your videos, millennials can quickly access the information they need, increasing productivity and reducing time spent looking for the answer to a problem.
Make your video archive available to your employees on the go. No millennial will ever be seen without a mobile phone or tablet. Ensure they can access your video library remotely and view videos in whichever format suits their device.
A modern video platform, like CaptureCast, can do all of the above, making videos easy to record, edit, store and share anytime, anywhere, on any device.
Make video central to your organisation’s learning and development tools. For a free demonstration – and to learn how your organisation could benefit – contact us today. | 2019-04-22T04:53:43 | http://picomms.tv/2019/03/14/millennials-learn-with-video/ |

We identify the existence and quantify the effects of non-competitive behavior. Our experience includes market definition, allegations of unfair competition, price fixing, predatory pricing, and market power.
To assist in class certification, estimated the economic damages under the assumption that the defendant had not engaged in the anti-competitive conduct. Used comparables and applied the Lerner Index to estimate output and market-price effects of the exclusionary conduct. Identified the relevant product market, calculated market shares, estimated marginal cost, and assessed the likely exercise of market power. The results were subjected to multiple econometric sensitivity analyses with regard to assumed or estimated parameters.
In a class certification, estimated the economic damages resulting from alleged price discrimination. Applied the Cournot oligopoly model to estimate output and market-price effects of the price discrimination. Identified the relevant product market, calculated market shares, measured marginal cost, and assessed the likely joint exercise of market power. Results were subjected to multiple econometric sensitivity analyses with regard to assumed or estimated parameters.
Performed a market analysis of the paint can market to determine barriers to entry and existence of sub-markets or significant product differentiation. Analyzed and critiqued marginal cost calculations made by the opposing expert with respect to its breach of contract claim.
Examined a class of large pharmaceutical manufacturers accused of price discrimination and price fixing of a common contraceptive, analyzed the economics of the industry, defined the relevant market, and assessed any harm to competition and to consumers using various econometric methods.
Estimated potential exposure to the aggregation and use of market power by sellers of automotive glass.
Analyzed damages by constructing a logical but-for world that would have included enhanced competition from other third-party providers.
Analyzed but-for scenarios based on economic demand models by estimating linear and non-linear regression models and performed price elasticity calculations to determine past and future lost profits.
Gathered financial information relevant to antitrust allegations for a large pharmaceutical company. This involved creation of a single coordinated data base from a variety of different computer systems and the software of each the entities involved.
Defended a client accused of false advertising by the only major competitor in its marketplace. Created a database of the sales from both companies in order to compare the trends from each prior to and during the damage period. Compared the customer lists of both to determine which customers migrated between the competitors and refuted the plaintiff’s claim that all migrating customers were the result of false advertising. Calculated the damages due to plaintiff after isolating the other factors that contributed to plaintiff’s alleged drop in sales growth. | 2019-04-20T02:26:01 | https://www.fulcrum.com/experience/damage-analysis/antitrust-and-unfair-business/ |

A day at Cashel Mart!
Running Cashel Mart – situated behind the Rock of Cashel - in Co. Tipperary is a family affair since 1968.
Well-known Tipperary farmer and Mart owner – Philip de Vere Hunt – died by suicide at the age of sixty-four; he inherited the mart from his father.
Annette (his wife) and her two children - Robert and Alison – are responsible for the continued success of the thriving business.
The business specialises in agricultural sales, farm sales, commercial sales, machinery silage and livestock valuations; it also has a property sales division. | 2019-04-18T23:25:42 | https://www.thatsfarming.com/news/cashel-mart-video |

To be honest, we can’t really compare a thousand buck website to a few hundred buck website because even if the two appear similar on the surface, there’s much more that goes into the backend of a website to differentiate between the two.
For instance, a small business web design UAE won’t require any outperforming and extravagant features to impress the audience, neither does it need to compete with industry giants in terms. On the contrary, not all expensive websites justify their lavish price tag. In fact, there are very few cases (mostly where massive databases are involved) where you’ll need a strong and expensive web design; other than that it’s mostly about getting the best value for your money proposition.
Now, the fact that their thousands of aspiring small and medium businesses in UAE ready to take their chance in digital industry means high demand for efficient small business web design in UAE and since most of the times SMEs are low on cash, they resort to taking the cheapest route for website designing and development, which may cause them serious business limitations in future. Again, contrarily, there are SMEs who go beyond their means and needs with a high-end web design, which in essence give them no benefit other than breaking the already cash starve bank.
Now, given the high demand for small business web design, there are literally hundreds and thousands of unprofessional/ghost companies selling their fake services over the internet. Their plot is to lure SMEs with their rather irrationally low pricing and once they got the contract, they disappear like ka-boom. Even at times when they do deliver web design, it will be a sorrowfully miserable design with serious malfunctioning.
At the opposite pole, there are those flashy and glittery web design agencies which are ready to break your bank without understanding business needs. These might be extremely expert agencies, however, where they lack is to differentiate between individual business needs and resorting to delivering high-end expensive web design where there was no need for most of the features.
Do I need all the extra functionalities?
Will I get the full value of my money?
Is there a better option available in the market?
Should I get a price quotation from a few other companies?
Remember, somewhere down the line you’ll find the best-suited web design agency that can deliver you the best value for your money.

We got up and worked out in my home gym. That was very cool. My wife works out but not at the same times I do. It was really fun. She said she was looking at my sweating and lifting weights like I was a piece of steak she wanted. I laughed. That’s really funny. We got dressed for Church and got the boys ready to go. Church was great. The message was felt deeply throughout everyone. The whole time I was worried about my Heston and Alex. Turns out they were perfectly fine and made a lot of new friends. I was so grateful for that.
After Church we went over to a little brunch spot I’ve been wanting to try. We had a very good breakfast buffet meal and had a great time. Then it was off for some shopping. I knew we wouldn’t be out there long because my boys get tired out after a long morning. It was so fun getting their stroller out and walking around. My wife can buzz in and out of the stores like a champ. She loves watching after the boys and holding up little outfits for them. It’s all I have dreamed of. This family life suits me.
We are back at the lakehouse a few hours before we pack up and head home. I can’t wait to see Sarah and show her the things I bought for her. I always try to bring her something back when I’m away. She texted me a few times to check in and see how the boy are. She misses them when they are gone but she is also trying to ween herself off of them. She doesn’t want to cause a mess with my wife. They get along great but I also know there has been a little tension. It all got better as soon as the wall was finished.
Tonight I’m hosting family dinner at the condo. My friends and my wife friends are coming over. This should be interesting. We’ve had them all mashed up together in bigger events but not in close quarters like this. I’m making a giant mexican buffet. As soon as we get home I need to hit Whole Foods to get the things I know I have forgotten. Sarah is going to start dicing and chopping up veggies with 3 of her friends. I thought it would be 10 people but next thing I know everyone invited someone and it has turned into 26 people and more. That’s okay. I love it.
Right now I’m going to go play with my boys. They are up from their nap. I hope ya’ll are having a great Sunday! God loves you! And so do I. | 2019-04-19T07:48:09 | http://www.notbatmanyet.com/2017/01/sunday-dinner/ |
IMT is an archaic IMNET Graphics format. In case you found an IMT file on an old hard drive, it was probably created a long time ago and opening it will pose difficulties, at least using regular image viewers. For easier access we recommend converting it to a more widely available format, such as JPEG or TIFF.
So, how to change IMT into PSD?
The quick and simple way to handle your files is to get a quality piece of software, such as reaConverter. Although it is fast, this software is extremely efficient in managing a wide range of conversions. As you will soon realize, reaConverter will help you avoid spending countless hours trying to figure out how to convert IMTs. But at the same time, it will allow you to apply a wide range of editing options.
Start reaConverter and load all the .imt files you intend to convert into .psd because, as opposed to most free online converters, reaConverter supports batch conversion. So you can save the time and energy you would lose with doing repetitive operations.
Select IMTs from a folder or by drag-and-dropping them directly into the reaConverter window.
Advanced users can convert IMT to PSD via command-line interface in manual or automated mode. You are welcome to contact our technical support when you have any questions about reaConverter.
Highly efficient batch IMT to PSD converter that makes it easy to handle huge number of files and folders in a few simple operations. | 2019-04-24T08:51:23 | https://www.reaconverter.com/convert/imt_to_psd.html |

Queen Cora Dunham performing at the Adams Drumworld festival, September 14, 2014.
Cora Coleman-Dunham has performed and toured both nationally and internationally.
Cora's performances include Najee, Billy Miles, P!nk, Rick Fante, Lalah Hathaway, Phil Upchurch, Foley, Il Divo, Michael Bearden, India Arie, Everett Harp, Norman Brown, Peter Michael Escovedo, Frank McComb and Mandrill.
The 2001 & 2002 "Howard University Jazz Ensemble"
Dr Diane L. White's "Dr. Dee: Live in DC"
Richard Smallwood's "Richard Smallwood: Live in DC"
Zac Harmon's "The Blues According to Zacariah"
If there is one young musician that is currently representing the very character of cr�me - on the rise, it would have to unmistakably be Mrs Cora C Coleman-Dunham. Mrs. Cora began her musical journey under the tutelage of William Portis at Kashmere High School in Houston, Texas, USA with a comparably late start in 9th grade. Cora actively became involved in the marching band and concert band surpassing her peers as the section leader by her sophomore year. She began playing the traps in 11th grade and continued to forge ahead practicing and studying, graduating as valedictorian of her senior class. After graduation, Mrs. Cora continued to cultivate and hone her musical gifts, changing her major from Computer Science to Music in the middle of her freshman year at Howard University. The driving force behind Cora�s progress and motivation was the very elements that allotted performance opportunities with The Washington Ballet, The Washington Symphony Orchestra, The American University Orchestra, The Howard University Marching Band, Concert Band, Percussion Ensemble and Jazz Ensemble. She has also performed with Marvin Stamm, Yusef Lateef, Greg Osby, Donald Byrd, Grady Tate, and Larry Ridley. Cora�s growth and evolution as a drummer and percussionist merited her Howard University�s first recipient of the Avedis Zildjian Scholarship for Outstanding Percussionist. She became section leader (first female) of Howard�s Thunder Machine drum section and became a member of Sigma Alpha Iota Professional Music Fraternity for Women. While at Howard, Cora studied under Harold Summey, William Richards and the incomparable vocalist and drummer, Grady Tate.
Cora�s relocation to Los Angeles only created a greater level of exposure to the music industry connecting her on her first night in LA with the multi-recorded guitarist Phil Upchurch, whom she played with for the first year of her stay in Los Angeles. She battled over 5,000 drummers nationwide in the Guitar Center�s 2003 Annual National Drum-Off, where she placed 1st. Cora received several thousand dollars worth of equipment, custom Roland V-drums and a 2003 Jeep Liberty of her choice. Needless to say the first female not only to make it to the national level but leave with the annual title of the Nation�s Best Amateur Drummer. Cora has also worked with the all-female group Angaza. She toured with Blues great Zac Harmon. While working with Zac Harmon & the Midsouth Blues Revue, the group climbed and surpassed the ladder of competitors for the title, �Best International Unsigned Blues Band� and sure enough walked away with the victory for 2004. In November 2004, (thanks to Raymond McKinley) Prince and Rechelle Ferell graced one of Frank McComb�s shows in LA and Prince took a special interest in Cora. Cora soon found herself ordering a one of a kind incredible custom 8-piece, birch, spider-pine finish, gold-trimmed DW drum kits compliments of the Prince, himself! Talk about a Christmas gift!!!
Sooooo, upon returning from Japan with Frank, Prince put together a unit: Ashley Tamar Davis-vocals, Frank McComb-keys, Jairus Mozee-guitar, Cora on drums and what else could make things any more perfect than having your husband playing bass, Joshua Dunham. This unit became the "After Party" house band for The Grammy�s, Academy Awards, Oscars and NAACP Image Awards hosted by Prince. Let�s see�the Kats who sat in to jam were Herbie Hancock, ?uest, Stevie Wonder, Kat Dyson, John Blackwell, Sheila E, Larry Graham, Alicia Keys, Raymond McKinley and Anthony Hamilton, Rechelle Ferrell to name a few. | 2019-04-25T09:07:17 | https://drummerszone.com/artists/cora-dunham/11456/profile/ |
This and the following three letters are all addressed to one person rather than a church. Paul delegates authority to Timothy, his personal representative in Ephesus, effectively the minister or pastor of the church there. He instructs Timothy about life and ministry and about the organization, function, and edification of the church.
Timothy is encouraged to counter with sound doctrine any false teaching particularly in regards to the Mosaic Law, to develop Church leaders and encourage godly Christian living.

“What about him?” asked Peter, referring to his close friend ‘the disciple that Jesus loved’, probably John, the writer of this gospel. His question will have been of but small interest when Peter asked it but had become of much greater significance over fifty years later when John had died or it became clear he could not live much longer. (That there was this interest behind the reported question suggests someone else was working with John on this chapter.) Several things Jesus had said had seemed to suggest that he would return before all the disciples had died. One of them is quoted here, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” Earlier he had said in Mark 9: 1 “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.” They had failed to realise that the Kingdom had come quietly when the King, Jesus, came and more openly at his death and resurrection. Unfortunately the idea is still around that we can work out when the kingdom will come in its full splendour even although Jesus warned that “about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Don’t be one of those misled by folk with more concern for their own apparent cleverness in working out the details of his return than their ability to hear what he actually said.
There is another important point to be learned from this passage. Jesus had just told Peter in verses 18, 19 “Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God.” That is a strong hint that Peter would die by crucifixion as Jesus had done, and as he in fact did about 30 years later. Peter wanted to know whether John would suffer the same fate. Whether that was from concern for his much younger friend or from a sense of wanting to protect him or from a hope that he would not share such a singular privilege (as Peter saw it) is not clear.
This is significant for us, as is the reply of Jesus. In all probability some few of those who read or hear this will live in a country where you are in danger of martyrdom because you hold to a faith that the majority do not agree with. Most of you will not be in such a dangerous situation but can expect to die a natural death when your days are done. For us of the second sort the interesting question is: will we be in some sense second class citizens of the kingdom to come behind those who have been martyred? The clear implication of the reply of Jesus in verse 23 “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you,” is ‘no’ I simply have something different for you to do.
I always feel a bit uncomfortable singing hymns like the one that says ‘All to Jesus I surrender … ‘ when I know perfectly well that I am surrounded by folk who have no real intention of surrendering anything if they can possibly help it, and I am not at all sure about myself either! It seems to me that the really important thing is when I receive a direct challenge from the Lord to do something - how do I respond? I do not have to concentrate on the big things in life that may never come my way, but how do I respond to the small things: what will I not do; what work promotion will I not seek; where will I actually go in the here and now; rather than some grand gesture.
What about you? Do you agree with that attitude? Or how else will you confront the challenges of life for the sake of your Lord and Master?

We pray together and when Christians pray together, including across the internet and from different times, different nations, different churches and different denominations - that reveals Church unity!
May the name of Christ be praised, now and forever.
he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake.
3 Let them praise your great and awesome name- he is holy.
in Jacob you have done what is just and right.
5 Exalt the LORD our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy.
they called on the LORD and he answered them.
they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them.
a forgiving God, though you punished their misdeeds.
Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.
See how Jesus exhibited his loveliness to those two men, through an act of compassion and mercy. Jesus gave those two men great joy in receiving their sight and enabled them to overcome the rejection by the crowd. Those two men could testify that Jesus is altogether lovely and lovely altogether. Jesus is beyond compare for the things He has done and the things He will do.
Jesus Christ is altogether lovely in regard to his divinity, humanity, birth, life, ministry, death, resurrection, ascension, exultation, glorification, grace, protection, tenderness, power, wisdom, vengeance, judgment, majesty, redemption and pardon. Jesus’ loveliness means I can have His incomparable inner joy when I feel defeated, dejected and discouraged. Jesus oozes loveliness.
As you go into this week, remember that when you are feeling defeated, dejected or discouraged, that Jesus joy is inside you. Joy is not necessarily loud and obtrusive but also quiet and peaceful. Allow that joy of Jesus to carry you through. Let His loveliness embrace you and allow Him control over your circumstances.
Father, we thank you for sending Jesus. We thank you Jesus that you are altogether lovely and lovely altogether. We thank you that you are with us when everybody else rejects, despises, defeats or discourages us.

Timothy is struggling with his ministry in the face of bitter opposition, suffering and troubles. Paul writes this, his last letter, to encourage, and strengthen Timothy. He wants him to remind others that they are all to be diligent workers for the Lord.
Paul exhorts Timothy regarding the sure foundation of the Word of God, which serves as a means to gain wisdom and equipment for service. Paul also uses this letter to express his confidence at the end of his life of how glorious his future with the Lord will be.
The second point worth a study in this verse is: what is the special work that the importance of love is for? Jesus spoke of taking care of, and feeding lambs and sheep. The shepherd’s work of looking after sheep has two main components: making sure they have enough to eat by taking them to fresh pasture when the present one is cropped too short for them to get much nourishment from it, and making sure they are not attacked by either things too small to see, or by lions or by any of all the other things in between that can harm an animal. You will have noticed that I didn’t use any of John’s words in the title of this study but the word ‘discipling’.
That is, of course, the one that Matthew used in his great Commission statement. Discipling is basically teaching, but a bit more than just teaching in a classroom. A disciple is taught both by classroom type instruction and by close observation of the behaviour and manner of the discipler. The process will continue even when the discipler is not physically present – from the Word of God. Even the straightforward teaching bit is not easy - as I know too well having spent nearly all my work life as a teacher of one sort or another. It always seems to me that in church we make it more difficult that it naturally is by our habit of putting everyone in rows to listen and then elevating someone to a higher position to do all the talking. That is lecturing, not teaching, and most professional teachers only do it that way at university where you can be sure that all your hearers are of above average intelligence. In the average congregation half the hearers are of above average intelligence and half are below - that is what average means! Good discipling involves much fewer people at a time, indeed probably just one at a time. And that is a far more difficult thing to set up and do, hence our love of preaching.
Why is that? I think the reason is buried deep in the culture of the Western world to which I, and probably many of you, belong. And even if you don’t the influence of our culture is now so worldwide that it may still be having an effect. Our culture says that we are all individuals and interprets that in a very isolationist way. We are not to tell anybody what they are to think or do. If we do we are trying to control them, manipulate them, and those are very naughty things to do. So we are even told that parents should not tell their children how to think and behave. That, apparently, is something they should be allowed to work out for themselves.
So although almost nobody will be aware of this and the reasons behind it many folk in our culture will be reluctant to open themselves to be discipled or to disciple.
“Feed my sheep” said Jesus to Peter and to all of us. We have to obey him and not the dictates of our local, temporary culture. We have to do all we can to increase the number of deep, properly discipled believers.
We pray together and when Christians pray together, from different nations, different churches and different denominations - that reveals Church unity! Come! Let us pray together!
the darkness of my understanding.
an obscurity of sin and ignorance.
and help in the completion.
I ask this through Christ our Lord.
1 Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
2 Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORD or fully declare his praise?
3 Blessed are they who maintain justice, who constantly do what is right.
5 that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may share in the joy of your nation and join your inheritance in giving praise.
6 We have sinned, even as our fathers did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
7 When our fathers were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles; they did not remember your many kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.
8 Yet he saved them for his name's sake, to make his mighty power known.
9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; he led them through the depths as through a desert.
10 He saved them from the hand of the foe; from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.
11 The waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived.
12 Then they believed his promises and sang his praise.
13 But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his counsel.
14 In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the wasteland they put God to the test.
15 So he gave them what they asked for, but sent a wasting disease upon them.
16 In the camp they grew envious of Moses and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the LORD.
17 The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it buried the company of Abiram.
18 Fire blazed among their followers; a flame consumed the wicked.
19 At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped an idol cast from metal.
20 They exchanged their Glory for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
22 miracles in the land of Ham and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
23 So he said he would destroy them- had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him to keep his wrath from destroying them.
24 Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his promise.
25 They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the LORD.
27 make their descendants fall among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.
29 they provoked the LORD to anger by their wicked deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
30 But Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was checked.
31 This was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.
33 for they rebelled against the Spirit of God, and rash words came from Moses' lips.
35 but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.
36 They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38 They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood.
39 They defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds they prostituted themselves.
40 Therefore the LORD was angry with his people and abhorred his inheritance.
41 He handed them over to the nations, and their foes ruled over them.
42 Their enemies oppressed them and subjected them to their power.
43 Many times he delivered them, but they were bent on rebellion and they wasted away in their sin.
45 for their sake he remembered his covenant and out of his great love he relented.
46 He caused them to be pitied by all who held them captive.
47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.
48 Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, "Amen!" Praise the LORD.
Jesus’ resurrection is the catalyst for the mission of the church, beginning with the disciples and throughout history. Jesus’ mission to earth is coming to an end and shortly he will be returning to the right hand of the Father. Before he does so though, he has some more words to say to his disciples.
Throughout the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus’ authority is a major theme. Where Matthew records Jesus doing miracles, this is to highlight Jesus authority in action and not just merely in words. Matthew records Jesus’ authority to forgive sins (Matthew 9:6) and he imparted authority to his disciples for a short time when they went on a mission in Matthew 10.
In some of Jesus’ final words before ascending back to the right-hand side of God the Father, Jesus gave specific instructions to his followers. His disciples.
Jesus has authority (Matthew 28:18) over all things, all people, all circumstances and happenings including authority over all spiritual beings, whether angels or demons. Jesus has authority over all nations, governments and rulers. Jesus has authority over all earthly and spiritual authorities. Jesus has the authority. This means regardless of whatever the Christian Disciple faces; Jesus is in control.
Therefore, as Christian Disciples, we can obey Him without fear of retribution from those who would seek to harm us. We can obey Him regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in. It is a great comfort to know, that he is in control of everything. Through his death on the cross and his rising from the dead, Jesus has conquered all enemies. People often confuse authority with authoritarian. Authoritarian means severe, rigidity and a dictator.
None of these applies to Jesus. We have been given a free will, but as his Disciples, His followers today in the 21st century, we should choose to exercise our free will to obey Him in every facet of our life and live a life worthy of Him. That is part of how we take up our own cross and follow Him – as Jesus commanded. As the Christian depends on Jesus’ authority, the Christian Disciple gains wisdom, guidance, and power.
If Jesus had not risen from the dead, then the Disciples would not have had a story to tell. But Jesus had indeed risen from the dead, and the early church exploded numerically as the twelve Disciples exercised Jesus’ authority and his power.
We read about the growth of the early church in the Book of Acts in the Bible. Christianity is a faith whereby all Christian Disciples – all followers of Jesus - are to tell others of the goodness of God. Indeed, God Himself is a missionary God. Ever since Genesis 3 and the fall of man, God has been on a mission to bring and call people back to Himself.
That was the purpose of the nation of Israel, to be a light to all nations of the goodness and glory of God. That was the purpose when God, who is outside of time and space, entered human history taking on human flesh and restricted Himself in a human body as the man we know as Jesus Christ. Jesus’ whole mission was one of calling people back to life in God.
As followers of Jesus Christ, all Christian Disciples are to evangelize. Evangelism is showing and telling others of God’s message of reconciliation to all people of all time. It is not forcing people to adopt Church standards (1 Corinthians 5:12) and nor is it simply a message of join the church as a symbol of good works (Ephesians 2:8-10). If people know you are a Christian, they will be watching how you behave, conduct yourself in your life and your words. You are a witness for God – whether you want to be or not. Let’s be good witnesses. Sow seeds, somebody else may come along and water those seeds and yet another be God’s assistant in reaping those seeds so that the person you sowed seeds of the Gospel into, becomes a follower of Jesus Christ.
The prime motivation for evangelism is out of gratitude for what God has done, in that we love because he loved us first.
We are all to do the work of an evangelist (2 Timothy 4:5) even though not everybody has the specific gift of being an evangelist. But we are not just to evangelise but also we are to disciple. We are to intentionally make disciples of Jesus Christ. If there are 2 words which scare a lot of the modern Church, they are evangelism and discipleship. Yet, if we are to be obedient to Jesus, there is no other way. In the last words of Matthew’s Gospel, all Christian Disciples are to make disciples throughout the whole earth. Making disciples is not just evangelism but ensuring that guidance and care is given to new Christian disciples. So we are to evangelize and disciple.
“And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws”, (Ezekiel 36:27).
This prediction from centuries before, ascertained that Almighty and All-powerful God will indwell those who follow Him. Throughout his ministry, Jesus had talked about how after he was to depart, and that the Holy Spirit would come (John 15:26). We know from the other writings in the New Testament who the Holy Spirit is and what his ministry is. Further details can be found on this website.
But, as we have seen, the good news is that Jesus is still living. The rest of the four Gospels and the beginning of the book of Acts tell us a little more of what Jesus did before He ascended into the heavens. But Jesus still meets with people at the present time. How does He do this?
Jesus walks with us, where ever we go and in particular in the darkest periods of our life. Just as he did with the two people on the road to Emmaus, he walks with those who proclaim to follow Him (Mark 16:12-13, Luke 24:13-32). Jesus speaks whenever the Bible is faithfully preached and read from, just as He opened the eyes of those on the Emmaus road when He explained the Scriptures (Luke 24:27). Jesus meets us in the Communion or Lord’s Supper, with the bread and wine, which symbolise His flesh and blood as an act of remembrance of what He did for humanity.
But that is not the end, because Jesus has promised that He is coming again. Not as a baby next time, but as an all-conquering Son of God in judgment to gather those who follow Him. Are you ready?
Sunday – Risen and Firstborn from the Dead!
1 Corinthians 15:1-8: Now I declare to you, brothers, the Good News which I preached to you, which also you received, in which you also stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold firmly the word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom remain until now, but some have also fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all, as to the child born at the wrong time, he appeared to me also.
That was the Apostle Paul, writing to the Corinthian church about the Jesus having been raised from the dead – physically! All four Gospels, Matthew, Mark Luke and John, tell us that Jesus was crucified, died and was buried in a tomb. What do these four Gospels say about the Jesus’ resurrection or rising from the dead?
Let us first look at the sequence of events over the period of time after Jesus death till He ascended. Now remember, the Gospels are documents which have recorded historical events.
These facts remain for the resurrection. Look at them and study them.
Notice the changed attitude of the disciples after seeing the risen Jesus. They changed from defeated, cowardly people to victorious, brave people. Nobody who could have produced the dead body of Jesus, did so. Their silence is as significant as the preaching of the Apostles. Or take the multiple appearances of Jesus to various numbers of individuals and groups of people at, various times of the day and in differing circumstances. This shows that Jesus’ resurrection was physical in nature! Some people say Jesus’ resurrection was spiritual in nature but not physical. But the amount of people that saw Him physically afterwards dispels that particular myth. What about the current tangible evidence - the survival and inordinate growth and impact of the early church and that the church is still growing 2000 years later. If there was no bodily resurrection of Jesus’ would people really have risked persecution and death for knowing a lie? One or two people maybe, but not hundreds and thousands!
Yet people still doubt. Let us say Jesus didn’t rise from the dead. Surely the authorities, both Jewish and Roman, would have produced his dead body in order to quench this new movement! But they didn’t, and the reason they didn’t is because there was no body to produce! Would the disciples have really risked death for telling and maintaining a lie about the risen Jesus? They were beaten, confused, defeated and dispersed men until they saw Jesus truly did rise from the dead. After seeing Him, they were transformed and victorious people.
Then we have the swoon theory. Jesus didn’t die but merely fainted and recovered consciousness in the tomb. Even the sceptics disagree with this theory, one of whom said “It is impossible that a being who had stolen half-dead out of the sepulchre, who crept about weak and ill, wanting medical treatment, who required bandaging, strengthening and indulgence, and who still at last yielded to His sufferings, could have given to the disciples the impression that He was a Conqueror over death and the grave, the Prince of Life”.
Or perhaps, they all went to the wrong tomb. That’s it – they went to the wrong tomb. Whilst one person may have gone to a wrong tomb, not everyone would have done. Besides, the gospel accounts tell us that people were waiting outside the tomb where Jesus was buried! Surely Joseph would know which tomb Jesus was buried in, seeing as Joseph owned it!
Lastly, Jesus didn’t die on the cross but somebody was substituted for him. This is certainly untenable, given the rigidity and strict record keeping of Roman rule and with the eyes of the Jewish hierarchy watching. This conjecture is a lie of satan, because he knows the significance of Jesus having risen physically from the dead.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ provided the central theme for the sermons and teaching in the early church (Acts 1:22; Acts 4:33, Acts 17:18) and certainly within Paul-ine theology. But what significance is there in Jesus’ resurrection?
The resurrection proved and vindicated all Jesus’ teaching and claims as the suffering Servant and attested to His being fully God and the last Judge of all mankind (Isaiah 53:10-12; Acts 2:36; Acts 3:13-15; Romans 1:4). The resurrection, declared God’s approval of Jesus obedient service and the fulfilment of all the Old Testament promises, resulting in forgiveness of sins and salvation being only found in and through Jesus Christ, which was the prime motive for evangelism in the early church (Acts 2:32, Romans 4:24-25).
Jesus’ resurrection is a sign of the bodily resurrection for all believers in Him, giving a new attitude to death and transforming hopes (1 Corinthians 15:12-58, Romans 8:10, 2 Corinthians 4:14; 1 Peter 1:3 & 21). As the resurrected King, Jesus now intercedes for us and has perfected the redemption of all those who choose to follow Him (Romans 5:10; Hebrews 6:20; 1 Peter 1:21).
Finally the resurrection of Jesus’ physical body is a sure victory over satan, sin and death. All three are conquered and squashed. Satan is a defeated creature and will do anything to drag people into defeat with him. The power of sin is conquered, and sin’s grip is overcome if you are a believer in Jesus Christ. Finally, as I said earlier, death has been beaten, because those who believe and trust in Jesus Christ will live forever with him – death is not the end but a beginning.
Or let me put it in my own words - if Jesus Christ did not physically rise from the dead, we as Christians are the product of the greatest delusional lie and are the most foolish of all people.
Jesus is dead. His disciples have dispersed, probably in hiding, thinking they are next. Jesus’ body has been placed in a new tomb and the women are waiting to ceremonially deal with His body. As we have seen, the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, is God’s solution to the suffering and sin of the world. Only by Jesus Christ going to cross have sin, suffering and satan been dealt mortal blows. The cross provides the solution as it provides a substitution, propitiation, redemption and a victory. The cross is not a symbol to be merely placed around the neck on a chain, to be worn as a lapel pin, or as a item statement of fashion. The cross is not meant to portray Jesus as some form of sadomasochistic ‘tragi-hero’ as some people try to make it out to be. The cross is God’s solution to the problem of sin, suffering and pain, as much as the wise of this world would love to think that it is not.
The cross is a choice. You can choose to deny the cross and say it doesn’t matter. You can say that it is an irrelevance and that is your right. God will not force you to accept the cross and love him. If He did, He would have created Adam so that Adam would automatically love him and not given him free will to rebel. That way the cross would not have been needed. But such is the enormity of the love of God, that each person, including you and I, have a choice to make – follow Jesus and take up your own cross and be an overcomer for Him. God will not force you to accept it, but he will keep on calling you back to the cross. Calling sometimes in quiet ways and at other times, much more loudly. You can deny the cross and its meaning and when Jesus Christ comes again in judgment, you will find that He denies you entrance into His glorious kingdom. When Jesus comes again, everyone will know who He is and bow down to Him. But only those whom He knows, will be granted access into everlasting life.
How you think of the cross, ultimately has relevance to you and affects your reality. You can accept the cross as your personal substitution, personal propitiation and personal redemption. That way you have peace with God. The cross of Jesus Christ thoroughly epitomises God’s glory, and if there were any other way that God the Father could restore people into relationship with Himself, then surely He would have done it that way. But there was no other way – Jesus Christ, as the Son of God who was simultaneously fully God and fully human, died on a Roman cross. He took on the sins of the world, paying the greatest price, so that you can be restored into a peaceful relationship with God the Father. That is for all people, of all nations, ages, generations, statuses and gender. The cross is amazing love in action and is ignored at great peril. Let us go forward in hope and faith, choosing deliberately not to boast in anything else, save only of Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The wisdom of God as exhibited on and in the Cross of Jesus Christ, is foolishness but only to those who don’t accept it.
What is our response to that to be? It must be just about the hardest, toughest, most difficult thing Jesus ever said to his followers. We are being commanded to count the cost of following Him. That is how we carry our own cross for the sake of Jesus Christ. Jesus wants to be number one in the life of all those who choose to follow him. Jesus wants supremacy over everything in our lives, including family, friends, and possessions. Alas, that’s a cost too high for some.
What have you given up as a result of your decision to follow Jesus? Making sacrifices to follow Jesus is all part of the WOW factor of Jesus. Jesus demands that He be number one and supreme over everything else in your life - yourself, family, others and material goods including money and possessions.
How is this to be done? By constantly ensuring that your works and words match your lifestyle and that no hypocrisy can be found, or will be found in your life. It means standing up for God in the face of adversity. It means loving others even though they hate you.
Just a couple of examples: In the UK, we aren’t systematically persecuted; we are marginalized, ridiculed and ignored. In some other parts of the world members of our Christian family daily face death simply because they chose to follow Jesus. They are carrying their cross for Jesus.
What about us in the UK? For example, if we as Christians were known by our self-sacrificial love of all others, then Jesus whom we claim to love, follow, worship, and adore would be seen. Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote "When Jesus Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die. ... Discipleship is not an offer that man makes to Jesus Christ, nor is it hero worship, but intimacy with Christ." (The Cost of Discipleship). Bonhoeffer knew that as a Christian, a person has to take up their own cross in following Jesus and count the cost of being a disciple of Jesus Christ. Dietrich was to die as a martyr for Christ at the hands of the Nazis.
Jesus told us to take up our own cross if we are to follow Him as His Disciple. How is that possible? If we try to do that in our own strength and wisdom, we will fail. If we do it using the power and strength of the Holy Spirit within us, then we will succeed at following Jesus’ command. Are you as a Disciple of Jesus Christ, if you are one, willing to take up your cross and follow him? What a difference that would make to the community where you live. | 2019-04-21T04:36:47 | https://davegroberts.podbean.com/2017/04/ |
