How delightful is your confession, and how magnificent is your praise. Glory and honor, power and dominion, majesty and might, to the only True Elohim – and unto our Redeemer from heaven! Praise unto Yehoshua for His indescribable gift. The angels in heaven are rejoicing in your declaration of faith, beloved, and I am too!
I was prepared to continue writing at our previously established level, but now I am free to fully express my heart and the fullness of Scripture, without the fear of alienating you. As fellow partakers in the glory of Elohim, with The Holy Spirit now abiding within both our hearts, I am free to speak as if unto Elohim Himself. And with Yehoshua now seated at the throne of your heart, I am confident that His love for you, and through you, will become more evident as the days go by.
And thank you for your expressions of thankfulness. As a sinner, however, redeemed by The Blood of The Lamb, I am unworthy of your accolades. To quote another brother, “Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have, I give to you in the name of Yehoshua ha Mashiach of Nazareth” (Acts 3:6 ENB). Thank you though, above all, for your prayers.
Now that grace has been received into your life, and now that you have declared your faith and acceptance of Yehoshua as Messiah and Master, we can discuss matters of growth and maturity; matters of faithful obedience. You have moved beyond the stage of a seeker, and have become one desiring Discipleship. And your Discipleship is no less significant in Elohim’s sight than that of James, John, Peter, Paul, or the rest of the first century Disciples.
From the original twelve Disciples, and from the later addition of Paul and Barnabas, we quickly learn that Discipleship is not an event. (Look at Paul’s testimony, for example, in Galatians 1:11-24). Our lives, just like theirs, and the disciplines we strive to acquire, are a process. Every Disciple of Yehoshua must recognize that only by abiding in Him, can we attain the fullness of His plans for us. It would be magnificent if we could open the Bible, read the Word of Elohim, and know every teaching, intent, nuance and desire of Elohim’s heart. It would be wonderful if we could fall on our face before Him and request knowledge, understanding, discernment, insight and wisdom, in their totality, and have these abilities instantly at our disposal. Unfortunately, Elohim does not work this way. What our Father will do though, is permit us to gain in all of these areas through the study of His Word, and through the experiences and processes of life. When we study His Word, seeking knowledge with all our heart, He imparts knowledge at a digestible and maintainable pace. While the pace will differ for each child, the end result remains constant: Growing unto Yehoshua.
I have always maintained that the discipleship process, and the acquiring of Scriptural knowledge, can be likened to the construction of a brick building. First, a firm and solid foundation is essential. Our foundation is Yehoshua ha Mashiach. Then, once the foundation is established, a little mortar gets placed and the first brick is set. The mortar is always the Word of Elohim, because His Word is what holds everything we know together. The brick is a piece of wisdom, knowledge, insight or understanding, and as mortar gets spread (As the Word is studied and learned), more bricks are set (We grow in our comprehension – and application), and the process of growth (discipleship) continues throughout our life. The Holy Spirit, by the way, is the Plumb Line – He always keeps everything in check, if we trust and rely upon Him.
Just like brick building construction though, the first course must be set before the second course may begin. Sure, walls may have tiers at different levels, like a stairway, but the first brick must be set before another can be placed upon it. If you seriously consider the lives of the Old Covenant Disciples (yes, they were Disciples) and if you study the Apostles and Disciples of the New Covenant, you will discover that they all suffered through tremendous periods of learning and growth. They all had to go through the process of setting aside the worldly, in order to attain full reverence unto Elohim. Such is our quest.
Along with an awareness of spiritual warfare, therefore, we must gain an awareness of the realities of discipleship, because as we identify and fight the forces of evil in the heavenlies thru our prayers, and as we set aside that which may interfere with our walk (like I did with smoking*), Elohim will nurture our growth, and compel us along His chosen path for us. Elohim wants us to know what we are fighting for, and what the basic spiritual requirements, responsibilities and rewards of faithful service are. Just like those who have gone before us, Elohim wants for each of us to be everything we would like to be. And in knowing the realities of Discipleship, we begin adding bricks to our building – which as we already know, reach to the very throne of heaven.
*(And please know, my friend, that I am in no way dictating that every disciple of Yehoshua must give-up the smoking of cigarettes, cigars or pipes… Each disciple is called to walk according to the path assigned. My path required that I surrender this thing that held sway over me).
“All authority is given Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and disciple all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and The Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:18-20 ENB). (This, by the way, is referred to as “The Great Commission”).
“In much wisdom there is much grief, and increasing knowledge increases sorrow” (Ecclesiastes 1:18 ENB).
We were created to glorify Elohim. In every generation, Elohim has raised up His chosen ones, insuring a remnant that do not bow to Baal. As Disciples of Yehoshua in this generation, therefore, the mantle now passes to us. The manner and intensity in which we glorify Elohim magnifies as we draw near to Him, and our responsibility increases as He reveals Himself to us. We are to devote our lives to praise, prayer and performance, because He is our purpose and our goal; “For to live is Messiah”.
The Word of Elohim is direct. The promises are not meant for everyone.
“Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one is born again, they cannot see the kingdom of Elohim” (John 3:3 ENB).
“Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one is born of water and of The Spirit, they cannot enter into the kingdom of Elohim” (John 3:5 ENB).
“Seek YEHOWAH, all you humble of the earth who have done His judgments; seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will be hidden in the day of YEHOWAH’S anger” (Zephaniyeh 2:3 ENB).
“Speaking the truth in love, we may grow up in all ways into Him, who is the head, Messiah” (Ephesians 4:15 ENB).
“In this are manifest the children of Elohim and the children of the devil: whoever does not righteousness is not of Elohim, neither are they who love not their brother” (1 John 3:10 ENB).
A Disciple of Yehoshua ha Mashiach must be born-again! But why is that necessary, what precisely does that mean, and how is it accomplished? The necessity of being “Born-Again” is found in two powerfully connected passages within Genesis, and one from the Gospel of John, because once analyzed, these three verses speak reams to us.
Before the fall in the Garden of Eden, when man was originally created, we find the Holy Word saying, “And Elohim created man in His image, in the image of Elohim He created him; male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27 ENB). After the fall, however, we now find the following being said, “And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image, and called his name Seth” (Genesis 5:3 ENB).
The moment an individual acknowledges Elohim as their creator, comparing their sinful state to His majestic holiness, and in that moment believes in their cleansing through the shed blood of Yehoshua ha Mashiach; in that moment in which that person bows in recognition of Elohim’s sovereignty and dominion, and humbly cries out to Yehoshua, “Master, save me,” as did Peter (Matthew 14:29 ENB), in the realization that they are doomed without Him, and then determine to dedicate their lives to the faithful obedience of His Mastership; in the moment they claim Him as their personal Messiah, Master and King, in that moment, they are spiritually Born-Again unto Elohim.
Born-Again in the image and likeness of our Elohim once again!
I believe that once we are Born-Again, Elohim commands us to follow His example of immersion baptism. The passages in the concordance present irrefutable evidence in support of this. In teaching an immersion baptism though, I am not advocating legalism or ritualism. Understanding Elohim lies in the fact that Elohim is Spirit, and His requirements are Spiritual. While we may not understand His workings, we must concede that, “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says YEHOWAH” (Isaiyeh 55:8 ENB). Sometimes we need to take the Word of Elohim at face value, when understood in the proper context, and by faith, do whatever He desires. For some, baptism will be that step of faith, while for others; water immersion will be a natural expression of their desire to follow Him.
The Bible is not a collection of stories and fables, but Words of salvation, life, fulfillment, joy and eternal happiness. Each Word of Scripture must be examined, digested and reacted upon for His glory. Unless we seek Elohim in the pages of His revelation, we will never know Him, but once we find Him; once we know His desires, we must act upon what we have learned in order to please Him. Following Yehoshua in immersion baptism is one of those areas that please Him.
Righteousness is a faithful life of right living, but attainment of these things is no simple matter. In order to teach faith, Elohim causes our circumstances to be such that we must figuratively walk on water. If humility is lacking, our Father will place His child in a humbling circumstance until the lesson of humility is learned. Patience is taught in impatient situations. Whatever disciplines are lacking, Elohim wisely uses opposing circumstances, of ever-increasing degrees, to produce the desired result, so that we may, “Grow up in all ways into Him, who is the head, Messiah” (Ephesians 4:15 ENB). The Disciple must be committed to these realities, and should not only expect a gradual and progressive change in their life, but desire one as well. This is fruit brought about through discipline!
Immediately after becoming a Disciple, events transpired that resulted in my being unemployed. Although I did everything required to find a job, Elohim had other plans. In between resume’s and networking, I studied the Word of Elohim. A week turned into months and employment was not found. Miraculously, our financial needs were met, but pressure steadily grew. As the studies continued, our fellowship at the church we were attending intensified. Some members of this Ekklesia were dynamic leaders of the community, both political and business, and from their example, Elohim began teaching me how to be a Disciple in the workplace. After reading, “The Christian Employee”, by Robert Maddox, it seemed as if I had received my diploma, and the door of opportunity flew open. The lessons Elohim had been teaching me throughout the period of unemployment prepared me for a return to the workplace as His representative.
The fullness of His miracle did not occur for another four months though, and we still marvel at His workings in our lives at that time. We relocated to the city with the new job, and while we rented a house, our desire was to purchase a home for use in our new ministry. We had very little capital, and when we discussed our situation with the realtor’s, they laughed, telling us we would never find what we were looking for. We believed, however, that this was the Masters will for us, so we continued praying and searching. Eventually we found a young realtor of faith who, although he thought we were insane, acknowledged the reality of faith in our lives, and together we searched.
After an especially depressing period, our new realtor phoned with the news that he had found a listing he was certain met our needs. Miraculously, it fit our budget too. Around 9:00 PM, excited but skeptical, we drove to see the house. Immediately upon entering the front door, we knew we were home. Elohim worked through our faith to provide a job and the home, and while neither search was easy, He was always reassuring us. Faith is learned under circumstances requiring faithful living.
And then there is love, the last basic Requirement of a PRAISER. Do you remember reading, “Elohim is love” (1 John 4:8 ENB)? Throughout these letters I have attempted to point you toward the truth about love. Love of Elohim; Love for Elohim; Love of the truth; Love for our neighbors and enemies alike; Love for the brethren; and Love of justice and mercy. All of these aspects of love have been presented throughout these writings. Elohim is a great many things, dear friend, but compared to what this world believes, Elohim is much more. Our joy, as Disciples of Yehoshua, is to share His love, for His glory! The primary proofs of Discipleship are found in our love for one another, and in His discipline in our lives. Search His Word, and you will confirm this truth!
“Let your manner be without covetousness, content with what you have; for He Himself has said, ‘I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you’, so that we can boldly say, ‘Yehoshua is for me; I will not fear; what can man do to me'” (Hebrews 13:5-6 ENB)?
“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it will be done for you. In this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so shall you be My disciples” (John 15:7-8 ENB).
“For the eyes of YEHOWAH run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward Him” (2 Chronicles 16:9 ENB).
“Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20 ENB).
In the first two passages quoted as assurances, we are given what at first glance might be considered a contradiction. On one hand we are told to be content, while on the other, we are instructed to ask for whatever we want. These verses are frequently quoted out of context and used to mislead the undisciplined. The positive thinking guru’s of our age want us to believe we need only think happy, peppy, perky, positive thoughts, and whatever we seek or desire will be given us. This is a lie!
The false teaching of the positive thinkers is clearly addressed elsewhere, where Elohim said, “You ask and receive not, because you ask badly; so that you may consume it upon your lusts. You adulterers and adulteresses, do you know not that friendship with the world is enmity with Elohim” (James 4:3 ENB)?
The John 15 passage clearly teaches that asking must be linked to the glorification of Elohim, in the witness of His Son and His Kingdom, and in the proving of Discipleship. A true Disciple is not merely seeking personal gain, but asks in accordance with the will of Elohim, for the fulfillment of a need to the ministry. The assurances given in the verse from Hebrews relates to our own personal circumstances, because while we may not have all we want, we will always have what we need.
We received fulfillment to our request for a home, because we were sincere in our desire to use that home for ministry. We also wanted to be wise stewards. As Disciples, we need to be content in whatever situation we find ourselves, knowing that Elohim is in control. Is this easy? NOT AT ALL!
The assurances we are given, however, are that Elohim will be a Helper to those whose heart is His, and that He will always be with us. I could go on at this point, telling how He is present, willing and able to come to our aid. Hours could be spent telling of events in which He taught me something I was striving to understand. Or how He responded one day as I was driving down a rural road, crying for reassurance, because of the battle I was involved in, when a balloon bearing the message, “I LOVE YOU,” hovered in the path of my car. I could talk of spiritual, financial and physical miracles in and through my life, and in the lives of countless brothers and sisters, but I will not. The assurances given to His Disciples are awesome, and we must remember, “If Elohim is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not with Him also freely give us all things” (Romans 8:31-32 ENB)?
“All Scripture is inspired by Elohim, and profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the people of Elohim may be perfect, thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17 ENB).
“Your words were found, and I did eat them; and Your word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by Your Name, O YEHOWAH, Elohim of hosts” (Jeremiyeh 15:16 ENB).
“But the anointing that you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true, and is not a lie; and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him” (1 John 2:27 ENB).
“Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to think anything as coming from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from Elohim, Who also made us able servants of the new covenant, not of the letter, but of The Spirit; for the letter kills, but The Holy Spirit gives life” (2 Corinthians 3:5-6 ENB).
The Bible contains the revelation of Elohim to humanity. It teaches about our relationship to and with Him, and about our relationship to the rest of mankind, and our environment. Within the pages of His revealed Word He has presented us with everything He knew that we needed to know pertaining to Him, ourselves and the cosmos. His Word is not a complete revelation of all things, because He allows for our growth, and for the investigation of His creation. But, He has told us what pleases and displeases Him, as well as what He desires from us. We have been told what to expect if we abide in Him, and also what to expect if we abide outside of His will. We are given judicial, environmental, historical and spiritual information, as well as the data necessary to live a magnificent and Elohim magnifying life here on earth – if we choose to listen. The Bible teaches Yehoshua from Genesis to Revelation; Yehoshua, Messiah, Redeemer, Head and Provider; Yehoshua, Master and Elohim; Yehoshua, Creator, Glory, Majesty, Power, Dominion and Might! We must stop ignoring Elohim’s revelations.
Our instructions are in the pages of the Bible, but let me tell you how this works. If you read the Bible from cover to cover you will glean an understanding of some few things. As you reopen your Bible and read His Word a second time, the gleaning increases. Subsequent voyages through Elohim’s Word accumulate data in an almost geometric progression. This is the brick building process we discussed earlier. The cornerstone and foundation of our understanding, however, must be perfectly set, or everything that follows is out of square. The cornerstone of understanding Scripture is Yehoshua. Once He is properly in place in your heart, the construction of the building –YOU, His Ekklesia, begins. The Holy Spirit will also be in place in your life, ensuring that the construction proceeds one trowel of mortar and one brick at a time; ensuring that everything remains square. That is how the Word of Elohim works in our life, and that is how we grow in our knowledge of Him and His truth.
An easy test to the principle of building blocks is to read one of the Books of the Bible – daily – for a week. Seven passes through the same book, reading the entire book every day. Try it with the Book of Hebrews. I assure you, the seventh reading at the end of the week, will reveal facts missed on the first six passes. Our instructions are in His Word, and we need to search for them as if for gold.
“By this all mankind will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35 ENB).
“If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free” (John 8:31-32 ENB).
“If you are without discipline, of which all are partakers, then you are bastards, and not children” (Hebrews 12:8 ENB).
“Amen, amen, I say to you, those who believe in Me, the works that I do shall they do also; and greater works than these shall they do; because I go to My Father” (John 14:12 ENB).
Although the command has been issued to, “Love your enemies and bless those who curse you” (Matthew 5:44 ENB), the command given to love one another in John 13:35 is different. In John 13, Yehoshua is speaking about love of the brethren; about loving those who believe and labor for Him, as we do. The bond between members of the same body is special, and we who are the EKKLESIA are one body in Messiah. We are cleansed and forgiven, by and through His Blood, and we are freely loved. Therefore, we are free to love one another. The manner in which we esteem the brethren is a sign of our discipleship to the world, because it is unique. And, according to Scripture, the world will see Yehoshua through us, as they witness our love for one another… How awesome is that?
Additionally, truthfulness must always be present in the life of a Disciple of Yehoshua. The world is spinning headlong into the pits of depravity, but the child of Elohim must maintain His truthful witness. The light cannot be hidden, nor can it be blurred by the sin of deceit and lies.
It is amazing how, whenever the faithful assemble, testimonies flow about the discipline realized at the hand of our Master. I have never met a brother or sister in Yehoshua, who has not received instruction and discipline, at the hand of our Messiah, and who then has not been used for the furtherance of His kingdom.
has already done for us on the cross!
will ever add to His already perfect sacrifice.
While Elohim has work for us to do, Faith + 0 = Salvation!
I pray that the eyes of the EKKLESIA would be opened to the harvest, and that we would really see the absolute pain, suffering, agony and death surrounding us. We have received grace and mercy from Elohim, and we have learned about the water of life. We have found freedom, liberty and abundance through Yehoshua, but if this is so, how can we so flippantly deny this deliverance to those who are dying about us? The task confronting us is immense, difficult, marvelously fulfilling and tremendously rewarding, but we are told, “For we are His workmanship, created in Messiah Yehoshua for good works, which Elohim prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10 ENB). Some time soon I will write again on this issue of works. For now though, please know that Elohim has plans for you, and that if you permit, He wants to use you in His work.
“If anyone will come after Me, let them deny themselves, and take up their cross and follow Me. For whoever desires to save their life will lose it; but whoever will lose their life for My sake will find it” (Matthew 16:24-25 ENB).
“Blessed are you when people defame you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you, for My sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you” (Matthew 5:11-12 ENB).
“So likewise, whoever there is of you that does not forsake all that they have; they cannot be My disciple” (Luke 14:33 ENB).
In his letter to the Galatians, Paul said, “I am crucified with Messiah; nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Messiah lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of Elohim, who loves me and gave Himself up for me” (Galatians 2:20 ENB). In speaking of the loss of his worldly possessions, Paul added that he would, “count them but dung so that I may gain Messiah” (Philippians 3:8 ENB). We must all adopt this attitude (expanded upon in Luke 12:33 and 18:18-30). Many faithful brethren have been permitted to accumulate vast wealth in order to serve Elohim with that wealth, but the Master will require these from us personally some day, and we must be prepared to abandon all for Him. Anything less is idolatry!
In understanding true humility, a Disciple will learn to relate to Yehanan the Baptizer (John the Baptist) when he said, “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30 ENB). Refer back to our letter on humility, if you will, because you will see that every Disciple of Yehoshua ultimately comes to know that we have died in Him when we accept Him as Messiah and Master. Our death comes daily as we strive, in The Holy Spirit, to set aside our ambitions and goals, and institute His will for us. While we are born-again the moment we accept His sacrifice for our sins, we grow unto Him in a procession of surrenderings. Humility is displayed in the fullness of our surrendering.
Please keep our past letters in mind, dear friend, because I attempted to set a solid foundation for the discipleship process within those notes. And within those letters I emphatically stated that not all are gifted the same. Each of us is given different talents and abilities. And, we discussed the fact that Elohim will never test us beyond what we are able to endure. The matters I am presenting to you today will be stressful to many, because being a PRAISER is not simple. The fact of these matters though, is that SOME may never be asked to surrender much of anything, while OTHERS may be asked to surrender all. Elohim knows our hearts, and Elohim will NEVER ask us to do anything that we are unable to endure.
These things all fall under the banner of the Mastership of Yehoshua, and it is His Mastership that is the primary factor missing in most Bible studies and discipleship courses today. It almost appears that His suffering on our behalf is acceptable, while submission to His dominion is to be rejected. He suffered for us, but to many, it is unimaginable to even consider that He might expect us to suffer in any way, shape, or form – for His glory, honor and praise… How conceited and self-centered is that?
Inasmuch as He is our Master though, preparation must be made in our hearts, minds and souls to submit our will, our belongings, our ambitions and our plans unto Him – should He require those things from us. He is our Master, and He may have works prepared for us that are truly unique, and that truly require sacrifice on our part.
“If you would seek El in the morning, and make your supplication to the Almighty; if you are pure and upright, surely now He would awake for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosper. Though your beginning was small, yet your end will increase greatly” (Job 8:5-7 ENB).
“Those who have My commandments and keep them, those are they who love Me; and those who love Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love them, and will disclose Myself to them” (John 14:21 ENB).
“To those who overcome, I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of Elohim” (Revelation 2:7 ENB).
“Those that overcome will not be hurt by the second death” (Revelation 2:11 ENB).
“To those that overcome, I will give to eat some of the hidden manna, and will give them a white stone, and in the new stone a new name written, which nobody knows except the one who receives it” (Revelation 2:17 ENB).
“And those who overcome, and keep My deeds until the end, to them will I give power over the nations; And they will rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to pieces; even as I received from My Father; and I will give them the morning star” (Revelation 2:26-28 ENB).
“Those who overcome will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not blot out their name from the book of life, but I will confess their names before My Father, and before His angels” (Revelation 3:5 ENB).
“Those who overcome, I will make a pillar in the temple of My El, and they will go out from it no more; and I will write upon them the name of My El, and the name of the city of My El, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My Elohim, and My new name” (Revelation 3:12 ENB).
“Those who overcome, I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne” (Revelation 3:21 ENB).
“And this is life eternal, that they may know You, the only true El, and Yehoshua ha Mashiach Whom You have sent” (John 17:3 ENB).
Elohim desires us! Elohim wishes to bestow more upon us than we could ever imagine. Thousands of promises are given in His Word regarding our present and eternal lives, but we need to remember that only by His grace can we know and believe upon Yehoshua as our Master and Messiah. So, by His grace we see, and by His grace we receive, and by His grace we find forgiveness. What our Heavenly Father is offering humanity, through His Messiah, is the fullness of His kingdom – in exchange for our love and faithful obedience! In Yehoshua, Elohim is offering us life beyond our wildest imaginings!
While Elohim deserves our devotion, without Him having to pay further for that devotion, He nevertheless paid the ultimate price for us. And, while we do not deserve a morsel from His table, He nevertheless is offering us everything within His kingdom – freely. In exchange, He simply requests our faith and obedience.
In Isaiyeh 14:12-17, and in Ezekiel 28:11-19, a snapshot is given to us of Satan. We are told of the splendor, majesty and power that were given to him by Elohim. Satan was freely given everything a soul could ever imagine or desire, including tremendous beauty. Satan wanted more! He wanted more, but he never understood the responsibility or price of the power, authority and majesty that he sought, or the humility required of a truly great ruler. In our sinful state, Elohim is teaching us what we need to know to inherit His kingdom, and in humility, His PRAISERS will inherit the kingdom of Elohim.

“It is absolutely unacceptable for the government to even contemplate raiding the budget for projects in rural Ireland in order to cover up its disastrous oversight of the NCH.
We are hearing this morning that funds announced as part of Project Ireland 2040, including the Rural Development Fund, will also be temporarily delayed, in addition to cuts in housing and education.
It is also being reported that the extra €9m allocated to the OPW for flood schemes this year is also likely to be reduced by €3m.
What’s next-abandoning rural broadband in order to cover the blushes of Leo’s Ministers?
Rural Ireland has taken hit after hit in the last six years; not least in the area of health where it remains nearly impossible for us to retain or recruit rural GP’s.
Proportionally speaking, rural Ireland is still playing catch up in terms of the huge economic imbalance between it and the city and county of Dublin where over 50% of Ireland’s GDP – the total value of everything produced in the country – is generated.
This is despite the fact that an estimated 60% of the population live outside Dublin County.
These facts must be taken into consideration before the government takes the budgetary knife to badly needed projects in rural Ireland,” concluded Deputy McGrath. | 2019-04-20T06:19:29 | https://mattiemcgrath.ie/rural-ireland-must-not-be-hit-in-scramble-to-find-cash-for-childrens-hospital-over-run-mattie-mcgrath/ |
Allergic reactions occur being an immune response of the body to an international substance. Once the allergic reaction is because of a drug, old or new, it is stated to become a drug allergy. Adverse medication reactions may appear with any course of drugs, but way more in the event of antibiotics accompanied by anti-tumor drugs.
Outward indications of drug allergy will be the same exact for any kind of allergy. Frequently occurring ones are pores and skin rash, hives, and itching of the eyes or skin. These are not so serious symptoms. These reactions are treated by substituting the existing drug with another usually.
However, severe reactions right after getting the medication include tightening or swelling of the airways, lightheadedness or dizziness, rapid pulse, or loss of consciousness even. Seek emergency therapy since they are anaphylactic symptoms which are life threatening potentially.
·you have asthma, high blood heart or pressure disease.
You could have an allergic attack to any drug. However, many are more typical than others. Here’s a listing of the most typical drug allergies.
·Penicillin and associated antibiotics such as for example cephalosporins, sulfonamides (sulpha medicines), and aminoglycosides will be the most common reason behind drug allergies. Nevertheless, the different courses of antibiotics vary according of these mechanism of activities and adverse effects.
·Anticonvulsants such as for example carbamazepine, lithium salts, divalproex sodium, oxcarbazepine, among others utilized for seizures along with other mental illnesses could cause allergic reactions.
·Insulin, animal resources of insulin especially, is a common exemplory case of drug allergic reactions.
·Radiocontrast brokers or X-ray comparison dyes containing iodinecan furthermore cause allergies. Sometimes, they are able to cause anaphylactic reactions which can be existence threatening. The incidence of reactions is apparently lower with nonionic agents in comparison with ionic agents. Oral corticosteroids and H1-antihistamines are used to treat such allergies generally.
·Sulpha drugs, another typical reason behind drug allergy, could be both antibiotic and also non-antibiotic. You could have an allergic attack to either or both these groups. Sulfonamides antibiotics tend to be associated with more serious drug responses such as for example Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (10) seen as a fever and considerable necrosis (premature cell dying). People who have HIV are usually at an increased threat of sulphonamide allergy. nonantibiotic sulpha medicines such as for example acetazolamide, frusemide, hydrochlorothiazide, chlopropramide, sulfasalazine, dapsone, etc, are usually less inclined to cause severe allergies.
·Aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, too could cause allergy in a few people. ‘If you possess an aspirin sensitivity or allergy, you may even have a reaction to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and naproxen (Aleve, others)’, states Mayo Clinic allergy and asthma professional James T C Li. The allergy can range between mild to serious and the reaction may appear within a few hrs of taking the medicine.
·Vaccines have already been found to trigger allergic reactions in a few people. Serum illness is a delayed kind of drug allergy occurring a week or even more after you face a medicine or vaccine.
Blood test - Allergy for some antibiotics, muscle relaxants and insulin could be diagnosed through blood check.
Skin test - Skin check may be necessary for certain antibiotics. Handful of the medication is injected in to the pores and skin. If you’re allergic to the medication being tested, you shall develop a reaction.
Drug provocation check - This check is resorted to once the other two tests are usually inconclusive. In this check, you may be given gradually increasing dosages of the offending medication. When there is a response, sensitivity to the medication is indicated; or even, then maybe it's considered a safe therapy option.
Since tests or skin tests aren't helpful always, allergists have to be determined by an in depth and accurate background of all your present and past medication to recognize which medication is responsible. | 2019-04-26T16:50:52 | https://pathtosustainableliving.com/common-tips/1635-healthy-tips-drug-and-penicillin-testing |

Western sanctions and a paranoid government make Iran’s economy a unique challenge.
After Iran’s nuclear agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with six world powers (China, France, Germany, Russia, the United States and the United Kingdom), many outside businesses are enthusiastic to enter the Iranian market. Meanwhile, to boost Iran’s collapsed economy, the country’s moderate forces—a coalition of progressive politicians, intellectuals and pragmatic conservatives headed by President Hassan Rouhani, who advocates reintegrating Iran into the global market—are encouraging foreign partners and investors to invest in Iran.
But the extent of the Iranian market’s readiness for international investment has not been addressed yet. Iran’s autocratic system has unique characteristics that make it different from other autocracies in terms of dealing with foreign investors. This raises the question: how plausible is it to expect a fruitful economic relationship between Iran and foreign investors, and what are the possible uncertainties and obstacles regarding foreign investment in Iran?
While President Rouhani’s administration will not aquiesce to hard-liners, who oppose any Western presence, skepticism over foreign intentions is an age-old feature of the Iranian political psyche. After the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran, political elites believed that Iran’s economic sovereignty should be protected by limiting foreign capital’s influence in the country as much as possible. Yet they remain in this antagonistic position due to their deep-rooted economic interests, which they believe can be jeopardized by foreign investment. These elites can be found in certain factions of the parliament, at the head of Iran’s state-run industries, and in the business enterprises of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and revolutionary foundations, also known as Bonyad. These interest groups’ influence is, therefore, substantial.
Iran’s economic relations with the outside world in general, and foreign investment in particular, have been affected by sanctions imposed by the international community due to its illicit nuclear activities. Sanctions have been imposed on other grounds as well, such as Iran’s sponsorship of terrorism and human-rights violations.
Although there exists virtual consensus regarding the necessity for foreign investment in Iran, it is not clear whether the environment is propitious for investment. The current debate is based on predictions with no basis in reality; identifying the real obstacles is crucial for facilitating foreign investment in Iran. Both Iran and international companies harbor doubts about economic rapprochement and foreign investment. Although similar concerns exist in economic relations between investors and investees in any other country, they have unique characteristics in Iran.
First, interest groups that control the pulse of Iran’s economy fear foreign investment. They believe that, when foreign investment occurs, foreign businesses will access capital, rivals will be excluded and, given the weakness of domestic competition, foreign investors may achieve a local monopoly, consequently leading to a loss in these interest groups’ power and position. In other words, they argue that giving more access to foreign firms will lead to a loss in terms of both their economic independence and their political power.
Secondly, interest groups fear that foreign investors may pull out in times of crisis, leaving the country vulnerable. A clear example of this was when countries and individual companies recently steered clear of business with Iran after a threat of U.S. sanctions. As a result, a stream of major international corporations announced a departure from the Iranian market. For instance, the French company Total withdrew from developing the South Pars gas field, which is in the hands of the Revolutionary Guard. China National Petroleum Corporation replaced the French company; however, after two years of delays in starting development at South Pars, CNPC pulled out as well, and withdrew all its experts and workers from Iran’s Assaluyeh region.
Consequently, Iran has lost $11 billion due to delays in gas extraction from South Pars. Other instances are Vitol and Trafigura, two key global oil brokers, as well as Total, Shell and British Petroleum, which stopped delivering refined gasoline to Iran. To many inside Iran, these examples confirm that Iran’s future cannot rely on foreign investors.
On the other hand, foreign investors have their own fears and uncertainties. Although there are always risks when investors enter host countries, Iran poses unique risks.
First, foreign investors do not know who they are dealing with. They are uncertain whether they are negotiating with a trustworthy party—to maximize the safety of their investments—or a faulty one. Iran’s complex political structure is one of the most serious problems for potential foreign investors. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is the ultimate decisionmaker, despite having an elected president and parliament. As Iran’s commander in chief, he controls the military and security forces, including the militarily and economically powerful Revolutionary Guards—an organization that has been known to cancel contracts or expropriate foreign investments in the name of national security.
Second, as some economic analysts suggest, investing in a country with Iran’s political and economic system is not as simple as doing so in a Western country. The Iranian economy is riddled with conflicting interests, they say, and those in power are typically interested in obtaining foreign cash without giving up power. Iran’s economy is still largely state-owned, with much of its “private” capital in the hands of regime-affiliated organizations. The Guards have reportedly placed top commanders in high-ranking positions in over two hundred companies that are set to benefit from increased trade with the West. To do business in Iran, foreign companies need an Iranian partner, which for large-scale projects often means firms controlled by the Revolutionary Guards. Many of these front firms are not known or have unknown ownership, and the Guards plan to use them to work with foreign companies when sanctions are lifted.
Third, the prospect of new sanctions could also scare off foreign investors who believe that there are limited ways to cooperate and invest in Iran as long as parties that violate sanctions face severe penalties. Even if the United States were to waive nuclear-related sanctions, which is unthinkable under President Trump, non-American companies that seek to do business in Iran run the risk of incurring significant penalties if they inadvertently violate other U.S. sanctions (such as sanctions for ballistic-missile tests, sponsorship of terrorism or human-rights violations) that remain in effect. Companies that deal with Iranian designated entities could be cut off from U.S. banks, or would be barred from doing business in the United States—a significant risk to the international firms whose investment Tehran desperately hopes to attract.
Moreover, Iran has started working on replacing the traditional “buyback contract” scheme, which offered international companies investment opportunities in the energy sector over short periods in return for a fixed amount of production, with the new “integrated petroleum contract” model, which would entitle the foreign investor to a percentage share of oil production. Economic analysts doubt whether this approach would attract foreign investors, because if the price of oil falls, investors’ losses will be huge. In such a situation, foreign investors may decide that the risks of pursuing business opportunities in Iran outweigh the benefits.
Last but not least is Iran’s foreign-investment law. Attracting foreign investment, like all other economic activities, entails regulations to facilitate entry and retention. For example, Qatar offers loans of up to 50 percent without interest for foreign investors, while Turkey offers tax cuts for foreign investors. In Iran, however, there is no exemption for foreign investors in excess of what is already given to domestic business. Even Iran’s constitution stipulates that foreigners cannot receive more concessions than locals.
Though the country has passed several laws to protect international investment, they are focused on encouraging investment, rather than protecting investors. The law allows the Iranian government to cancel contracts, confiscate investments, or even stop international investors from repatriating capital investments and accumulated profits. Worse, Iranian law typically recognizes national courts as the final arbiter in disputes between the Iranian government and a foreign investor. Even if investors go to an international court, there are few, if any, procedures available to enforce the decision in Iran.
Would-be investors may not like the tough terms, or being treated with suspicion. An extreme example of excessive scrutiny is the case of McDonald’s advertising franchises in Iran, which led regime hard-liners to charge the company with spying for the U.S. government.
Due to its rich natural resources and growing consumer market, Iran is a very tempting country for foreign investors. However, as institutional theory points out, “companies make their strategic choices based on the interaction between institutions and the organization itself, and attempt to obtain institutional legitimacy in terms of the host country’s rules and regulations.” To minimize obstacles on the road to foreign investment in Iran, a joint effort is needed to remove causes for mutual fear and suspicion. | 2019-04-24T23:22:35 | https://nationalinterest.org/feature/iran-needs-foreign-investment-theyre-not-making-it-easy-19621 |
What can you say about Aaron Judge and Didi Gregorius? In one word, spectacular. Aaron Judge’s home run in the second inning was his fourth of the year and 60th in 197 games (the fastest player in MLB history to record sixty career homers). Didi’s two home runs were his second multi-homer game of the season, and the sixth time in fifteen games that a Yankee player has hit two home runs in a game. Didi now leads the Yankees with five home runs on the season. Where is that flawed hitter the Yankees acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks a few years ago? The only flaw these days are rainouts which keep the Yankees great shortstop off the field. Didi continues to amaze...and get better.
Gleyber caused a stir last night when he was pulled from the RailRiders game due to “stiffness”. I am sure there are a few jokes that could be driven from that term (e.g., his girlfriend didn’t mind), but from what I’ve been able to determine, the removal from the game was primarily caution-driven. It was a cold night and there was no reason to risk the health of one of baseball’s top prospects. Gleyber will be re-evaluated today but at this point there does not seem to be any cause for concern or at the very least I hope not. The Gleyber Torres to the Bronx Watch will become magnified after tonight's game as any MLB service time will extend free agency by a year.

The visit also assumes importance as Singh recently stated that the government was open to dialogue with Hurriyat and Pakistan, to which Hurriyat leaders responded by asking for more clarity over the initiative.
The home minister would also review the security arrangements for Amarnath Yatra, which has to pass through sensitive areas of south Kashmir.
SRINAGAR: Union home minister Rajnath Singh is likely to visit J&K ahead of Eid for security review to take decision on extension of unilateral ceasefire besides taking stock of arrangements for Amarnath Yatra, which will begin on June 28.
J&K government officials said that they expect Singh to arrive around June 10 for two days and chair detailed review meetings with the officials of Army, police, paramilitary forces and the government functionaries to assess the ground situation.
The home minister would also deliberate on the situation in border areas, especially in Jammu, as Director General of Military Operations of both India and Pakistan have agreed to respect 2003 ceasefire agreement and stop firing on borders.
In last three weeks, 12 people, including 10 civilians and two BSF personnel, were killed, scores were injured and over 50,000 residents of forward areas had to migrate due to heavy exchange of fire.
J&K chief minister Mehbooba Mufti camped in Delhi last weekend to follow up on New Delhi’s initiatives and push for prolonging of non-initiation of combat operation after Eid till Amarnath Yatra, which will conclude in August.
In Delhi, she also met senior BJP leaders to prepare ground for Singh’s J&K visit especially regarding dialogue process.
According to sources, she had detailed meeting with Army officials convincing them to extend the ceasefire. “We expect that home minister’s visit will reiterate and bring home the message of peace, reconciliation and development,” J&K government spokesperson and senior PDP leader Naem Akhtar told ET. | 2019-04-22T05:01:35 | https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/rajnath-singh-plans-eid-vsit-to-kashmir/articleshow/64406306.cms |
Abdel Fattah Younis, military leader of the Free Libya Forces, was assassinated Thursday. Younis was too close to Qaddafi, despite his defection, to remain truly popular with the rebels, and it is a little unlikely that his death will affect the terms of the uprising, despite what some observers are saying. He was not allowed to be a field officer because of the mistrust, so his absence would not affect the battlefield.
In fact, the hardy Free Libya forces of the Western Mountain regions took a strategic town near the Tunisian border as news of his assassination was announced. And, Brega, though being cleared of mines, has fallen to Free Libya forces in the east, a major advance for the rebels. Western observers keep looking for a stalemate, but the rebels have in fact steadily advanced.
Aljazeera English is even reporting that Younis is accused by some of having been a double agent. I have no way of knowing if the allegation has any truth to it, but obviously if it were correct, then that would affect how we should interpret the news of his demise.
On the other hand, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, a leading figure in the Transitional National Council and also a defector from the Qaddafi regime, issued a statement blaming a small armed cell for the assassination and said one had been arrested. Benghazi will now ban the carrying of arms inside the city. Abdel Jalil is clearly afraid that the Obeidat tribe to which Younis belonged might be angered over his death and desert the rebel cause, and went out of his way to reassure them. (In the interests of TNC unity, it is a better story that Qaddafi loyalists got through to Younis than that he was taken out for being a double agent). | 2019-04-20T07:01:33 | https://www.juancole.com/2011/07/controversies-over-younis-assassination-in-libya.html |

The last few WSJ puzzles have been politically themed. The day before the election, this puzzle is notably NOT politically themed. Today it’s just simple synonyms for “humorous.” Perhaps, editor Mike Shenk hopes to take our collective minds off this contentious election.
I admit I solved the puzzle while watching TV so I really wasn’t paying close attention. But now I notice how beautifully clean it is. There aren’t any marquee long fill entries, but there are plenty of nice mid-range ones: GONDOLA, NAIL GUN, THE DOORS, CORAL SEA, AMATEUR, and SKYCAPS. This is what happens when you have only four shortish theme answers, plenty of breathing room, a few cheater squares, and a professional constructor/editor.
There are two odd entries at the corners. CAB IT (9a, [Go by taxi, informally]) and HORSY (62a, [Devoted to equestrian activities]). CAB IT is not a phrase that I use, but I have heard it in a song from the original Muppet Movie. And HORSY doesn’t seem like a serious term that an equestrian would use (though maybe their toddler would). Also, Google seems to prefer the “horsey” spelling.
That’s all for today. Best of luck tomorrow as you get out and vote.

Someone please explain how “Outstanding performance, so to speak” is CLINIC.
I’m a big fan of BEQ but this seems outside the norm (even for him).
When Tiger Woods won a big championship by 8 shots over the field you might say he was “giving a clinic” on how to play golf.
Definition #6 of “clinic” at dictionary.com: “Sports Slang. a performance so thoroughly superior by a team or player as to be a virtual model or demonstration of excellence; rout or mismatch.” New to me, but I’m not sportsy.

Some do it purely for the thrill of abandoning the security of civilization and venturing into an unknown area with a burgeoning vulnerability as his sole companion. Others do it for practicality’s sake – so they could be prepared for disasters and emergencies. There are also those who do it to gain a pseudo connection and a better understanding of their ancestors who lived with primal means. And, of course, there are also those who want to escape the four walls of the technology age and reconnect with nature.
Whichever the reason, all of them are bound by a common goal: to learn how to adapt to and survive in the wilds. | 2019-04-25T18:48:59 | http://au-grand-saint-martin.com/book/994654133/bushcraft-bushcraft-skills-for-beginners |
The Sikorsky S-92 Helibus is based on proven UH-60/SH-60 (S-70) family of helicopters. Sikorsky was working with customers in offshore oil support, airline and VIP/executive transport applications, and had proposed the S-92 for various international military utility helicopter programs. Sikorsky was actively marketing the S-92 for military requirements in Canada, Portugal and the Nordic Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland). Sikorsky saw a market for at least 700 helicopters. The S-92 was the company's answer to the needs of users requiring greater payload and range characteristics than that provided by the H-60 series. Improvements included more powerful engines, capacity to seat 22 troops in the stretched cabin and a rear loading ramp.
The Sikorsky S-92 was selected to negotiate for the Nordic Standard Helicopter Program (NSHP) requirement for Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway with a 22 troop seat interior. The S-92 was also a finalist in the competition to fulfill the search and rescue (SAR) and fisheries patrol roles for Portugal's air force and the troop lift and SAR needs of the Royal Air Force of Oman. The S-92 was also being offered to meet an Irish Air Corps SAR requirement, competing against the EH-101, Eurocopter Cougar, Sikorsky S-92, Kaman Seasprite and the Kamov Ka-32. Sikorsky offered the S-92 as a replacement for Sea King helicopters currently in service with the Canadian Forces. Finalists in the Maritime Helicopter Project were the EH-101, Sikorsky S-92, AS.555 Super Puma. Canadian Forces planned to buy 28-32 maritime helicopters for C$2.9 billion. Like it's civil counterpart, the military configured S-92 features a large, stand-up cabin with a full cabin-width rear ramp.
The S-92 was acceptable for both civil and military applications because it was the first helicopter designed to the harmonized FAR/JAR Part 29 requirements and also incorporated the proven survivability, crashworthiness and maintainability features of the UH-60/SH-60 family of aircraft. For example, the fuel system and dynamic components meet the UH-60 ballistic tolerance requirements and all gearboxes are capable of running 30 minutes after loss of oil. The system redundancy is the same as the UH-60/SH-60 and corrosion protection meets or exceeds current navalization standards.
The aircraft features a large, stand-up cabin with a full cabin width rear ramp. Composite structure is incorporated in the design where justified by weight, durability and/or other considerations. The cockpit is designed for outstanding visibility and is equipped with a highly integrated flight avionics package. While borrowing features from the S-70 program, some S-92 components were designed for dual application. S-92 rotor blades, main rotor head, gearboxes, engines and automatic flight control system can also retrofit current S-70 aircraft, thus providing for future Black Hawk upgrades. The S-92 main rotor blade is wider and has a longer radius than that of an S-70. The tapered blade tip sweeps back and angles downward. This design reduces noise and increases lift.
Sikorsky offered the S-92 in two versions: a 19-passenger civil transport with airliner-like interior and commercial avionics and a utility transport with 22 side-facing seats. As to its carrying capacity, the S-92's spacious 733 cubic-foot interior cabin area can accept up to three airline-style LD-3 cargo containers. Additional stowage space is available in the large 140 cubic-foot area located in the aft ramp compartment.
The civil S-92 is designed to carry 19 passengers over ranges of 400 nautical miles. It has a metal and composite airframe and a highly integrated flight avionics package. Powered by twin General Electric CT7-8 turboshaft engines, it has a range of 400 nm with fuel reserves, a cruising speed of 151 kts, and a 15,000 ft service ceiling.
An international team of companies led by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation was developing the S-92. Members of the international team were: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries of Japan (Main cabin), Jingdezhen Helicopter Group of China (vertical tail surfaces), Gamesa of Spain (aft transmission tailcone and 'strongback' composite structure), Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation of Taiwan (flight deck and other parts), and Embraer of Brazil (sponsons, fuel cells and gauging systems). Sikorsky contributed gearboxes, rotor blades, transmission and drive system, and performs final assembly.
Major subcontractors included General Electric, Rockwell Collins and Hamilton Sundstrand. Rockwell Collins provided the core of an open-architecture avionics suite for processing aircraft system information. The data was shown on four Collins multi-function displays, with a fifth display to be offered as a customer option. Rockwell Collins also provided the radio and navigation equipment earmarked for delivery to initial civil customers of the S-92. | 2019-04-18T14:54:01 | https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/s-92.htm |

Dan Brunell of the website Racing Eagles, left us the following extended comment yesterday and we liked it so much, we turned it into a guest post.
Ah, the new world of the internet. The PR world have finally caught up. Sorry if this is a bigger picture but Stuart's recent post illustrates something interesting happening to new media.
It reminds me of me something I presented at a seminar a few months ago. Where there are so many news outlets and so few news stories, that the commentary takes over the news. It’s the reason why there are ten news channels on American cable TV. It's not because they are ten separate news gathering organizations competing against each other (they let AP and Reuters do the dirty work for them) but they are ten channels of commentary specifically geared toward the demographic of their audience reacting to the news.
It's the same thing that has happened with Formula One. There are so many sites that comment on F1 news, that it makes the job of PR agents and communication staffers with these teams, sponsors, organizers, and drivers so easy. If you want to create a buzz or controversy or PR or whatnot; send a press release and in your words will be Ctrl-A-Ctrl-C-Ctrl-V.
I won’t regurgitate Stuart's points but he is spot on. This sort of manipulation done by agents and teams is stuff that normal F1 reporters and well-informed fans (which I would consider most of the Sidepodcast community) to dismiss the facts from realities. However, it allows for vultures like GMM to prosper. They play off ignorance of news sites like ESPN who don’t know any better and will just cut the check to them.
The thing is; I think the tide is turning a bit against this kind of thing.
It's something that reminds me of what Joe said in his last podcast to the effect that anyone can tell you the news but it matters when someone intelligent tells you what it means. What the newspapers in America are now realizing, and what the hopefully successful ventures of GrandPrix+, Autosport, and Racecar Engineering into on-line subscriptions will show, is that people will always pay for quality above all else. We may not like having to sign in or depart with hard earned dollars but in order for these publications to keep the quality up, they need our money to function.
I think this is the direction things are going and I think it will work out. There will always be tabloid rags to sit on the grocery store racks, but when push comes to shove and you want to know what is going on, you go to a place you trust. It's why the magazine The Economist cannot keep on the shelf over here.
It is also the same reason why I like Joe Saward. That is why I like Sidepodcast. That is why I like writing to the caliber Stuart showed in this article.
There are things worth supporting... which reminds me I need to set up an automatic donation account with Sidepodcast. | 2019-04-22T03:02:19 | https://sidepodcast.com/post/quality-above-all-else |
Existing-home sales last month were up almost 8 percent from July and home prices were up 9.5 percent from a year ago, to $187,400.
Home prices are up partly because the mix of housing is shifting toward more normal sales, with distressed sales comprising a smaller share of the market. But prices are also up because of appreciation, which NAR data as well as other price indexes show. Case-Shiller and the Federal Housing Finance Agency both show prices up based on repeat sales, which track price changes without regard to changes in the sales mix.
The positive sales and price trends come despite lenders’ continued tight underwriting practices. Yun said these overly tight policies could pose problems five years down the road, since mainly households with strong incomes and good credit profiles are getting loans today. That means a few years down the road, as homes appreciate, households with less income and less strong credit profiles won’t have been able to take advantage of today’s low home prices and historically low interest rates. That would leave many responsible households that could be successful owners today unable to get on the home ownership ladder.
Forthcoming rules, such as the qualified mortgage (QM) rule, which the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is writing to meet requirements in Wall Street reform legislation enacted two years ago, could exacerbate the problem, Yun said. NAR wants the rule to be flexible enough so lenders can make safe and affordable loans to responsible buyers, but there’s a concern that the rule could be too restrictive and only those with the best credit profile would be able to get affordable financing.
The video above is from Yun’s press conference today, September 19, in which he report’s August 2012 home sales numbers.
As the Broker of Record for Milestone Silver Realty Ltd. ; I am always interested in what other Real Estate practitioners have to say. Just thought I’d let you know that I came across your blog and really appreciated the content and time that you have put into it. Your use of video was first rate. As we all can appreciate: Real Estate is “High Paying Hard Work and Low Paying Easy Work” Thanks for posting. Keep up the fine work.
With less inventory on market, prices will go up – simple supply & demand. I hear some areas are getting multiple offers closer to, or even above, asking price…that’s good!
But is this a “trend” that foretells more good news to come? I do not think so. All we are seeing right now is pent up demand with artificially restricted inventory.
There remain many systemic issues in the housing market. Clearly, on the sell-side, shadow inventory still needs to be flushed. On the buy-side, historic low interest rates have not helped – there is too much un/under employment, too much job uncertainty, and too much political uncertainty with important tax implications not yet made clear.
I expect to see continued ups & downs in # homes on market, # sales closed, and price fluctuations that reflect the balance of local supply vs. demand. We are still years away from anything resembling normalcy in the housing market. | 2019-04-21T11:27:07 | http://speakingofrealestate.blogs.realtor.org/2012/09/19/home-sales-prices-both-up-in-august/ |
He is someone who doesn’t need and introduction whatsoever; his name is Albert Einstein. During his career-span as a scientist he played different other real-life characters. He was a poet, a fisherman, a violinist, a refined theorist, a philosopher and a brilliant scientist, of course. ‘Theory of Relativity’, a much celebrated theory in the scientific realm was his brain-child which revolutionized the way we perceive universe and its phenomena. Despite all his cerebrated theories and inventive ideas there are many myths doing rounds in our society. We have enlisted 10 such myths about his life and tried busting them one by one with the help of an authentic monograph released lately called, An Einstein Encyclopedia.
1. THE MYTH: HE WASN’T A MERITORIOUS STUDENT.
As opposed to the popular belief, Einstein wasn’t a bad student at all. He was in fact, extremely brilliant right from his childhood but had a strong dislike for authoritarian teachers all his life. For instance, he flung a chair on his tutor at the age of 5 because he couldn’t understand his style of teaching. “Yesterday Albert received his grades, he was again number one, and his report card was brilliant,” his mom once said in a letter to his sister. According to the records from Swiss Archives, he was remarkably talented in Mathematics, Algebra and Physics.
While at university, he was far more interested in physics than mathematics and so paid scant regard to the latter. He didn’t bother to attend math classes much as he felt he needed only elementary knowledge and this is where the myth may have started. One of the math professors, Herman Minkowski, called him a “lazy dog” due to his lack of interest in the subject. When he took the entrance exam to the Swiss Polytechnic in Zurich, he failed in Geography and History and understandably so. His academic records may have also been misled by a change in the grading system at his school in Aargau, Switzerland, notes Dr. Stachel.
2. THE MYTH: HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ASPERGER’S SYNDROME.
As a child, Einstein was a loner and often used to talk to himself, which made him repeat a sentence endlessly. This led many to believe that he had autism or Asperger Syndrome to be exact. He liked delving deep into the various ideas he harbored, thus paying little or no attention to other things like eating and social communication, giving others an impression that he had some disorder. Going by the accounts of his friends, he never had any difficulty communicating with anyone but on the contrary, was really articulate and outspoken.
He is believed to have had intimate relationships with quite a few people and none of whom could recount anything unusual in his speech. According to his physician friends, Einstein never showed any signs that hinted towards any possible speech anomaly or lack in social skills.
3. THE MYTH: HE DECIDED TO TURN INTO A VEGETARIAN.
Einstein didn’t himself choose to be a vegan but was rather advised by the doctors not to consume meat due to his deteriorating digestive capacities. In the later part of his life he had developed many stomach ailments which prevented him from leading a normal life. As a result, he switched over to a vegetarian diet but many people believed that he consciously chose to do so. However, he is known to have admitted in a letter to one of his friends about him feeling guilty about eating meat. He did agree to the argument of vegetarianism but health implications were the chief factors he took to vegan ways of life towards the fag-end of his life.
4. THE MYTH: THE ATOM BOMB CAME TO EXIST BECAUSE OF EINSTEIN.
5. THE MYTH: HE WAS A LEFT-HANDER.
There is a persistent belief among people that he was left-handed but since there hasn’t been any convincing evidence to back the claim, it is aptly called a myth. He held violin in his right hand and even wrote with his right hand which flatly goes to show that he was right-handed. The autopsy report showed a symmetry between the two hemispheres rather than a left-sided dominance which is peculiar to right-handed people or vice versa. In none of his pictures does anyone find him using his left hand not even in this one.
6. THE MYTH: HIS FIRST WIFE WAS GIVEN CREDIT FOR MANY OF HIS DISCOVERIES.
This myth was floated by one of the articles written by American Evan Walker Harris which suggested that Mileva Marić, Einstein’s first wife, was an unacknowledged co-author of his paper on relativity. This idea generated a lot of controversy back then but was rejected by many physicists and historians of science soon after. The myth chiefly seems to be based on a letter that he sent to his wife Maric which had the phrase, “bringing our work on relative motion to a successful conclusion!” However, what takes the wind out of its sails is the fact that there was no letter from Maric’s end that talked about ideas and besides, she couldn’t even pass her final examinations.
7. THE MYTH: HE WASN’T AN INVENTOR.
This myth has surfaced mostly because ‘the theory of relativity’ over-shadowed all his other inventive ideas. We hardly realize it while we encounter Einstein in different fields of our daily life. It was he whose ideas were employed in inventing the GPS, the scanner used at cash registers, digital camera etc. He might not have written essays for practical use or personal profit but his abstract ideas on light, space and time have led to many technological inventions which look quite normal today.
His ideas had significant impact on the invention of televisions that make use of ‘special theory of relativity’ to produce the sharp images that we see today.
8. THE MYTH: HE WAS APOLITICAL.
Quite contrary to this particular myth, he was one of the most outspoken ones among the science fraternity. The offer from Israeli parliament for the position of the president bears testimony to the fact that he had a great sense of statesmanship. He was a remarkably prolific political writer, someone who took bold and often unpopular stands on Nationalism, McCarthyism, Militarism, Anti-Semitism, Racism etc. he was deeply disturbed by America’s blatant misuse of the nuclear weapons and even wrote to Japanese pacifists post the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki explaining to them his stand on the matter. He took up the cause of Afro-Americans and openly lauded their efforts made to enrich the American Culture.
9. THE MYTH: POST-1925 EINSTEIN STOPPED CONTRIBUTING TO SCIENCE.
The ace scientist lived for another 30 years after 1925 and kept contributing towards the scientific advancements until his last breath. Some of his important discoveries came out in the last 30 years of his life such as ‘unified field theory’ that elaborated on electromagnetism, gravitation and quantum mechanics. Even though the theories post 1925 were not as revolutionary as the ones before that period but they did help in establishing a ground for further enquiry by the later physicists. He “might as well have gone fishing” said his biographer, Abraham Pais who thought Einstein was not as active in the research field as before.
10. THE MYTH: HE WAS ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE WHO COMPREHENDED THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY.
People questioned his theory of relativity saying that it was too obscure and could be understood by only a selected few. Irked at this response he once said, “It is absurd. Anyone who has had sufficient training in science can readily understand the theory. There is nothing amazing or mysterious about it. It is very simple to minds trained along that line, and there are many such in the United States.” The theory, today, is widely understood by people in general and further researches on it have gone on to testify in favor of Einstein besides refuting the claim of obscurity. | 2019-04-21T17:06:27 | https://www.factsninja.com/10-inventive-myths-einstein-debunked.html |

The new President of the House Energy and Trade Committee requests an emergency communication from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding its mobile wireless industry oversight following a report on how mobile operators share their users' location data. Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. Frank Joseph PalloneDems hit the GOP on healthcare with additional ObamaCare trial vote Democrats seeking early victories on drug prices Democrats demanding response to Trump's short-term insurance plans MORE (DN.J.) Wrote to FCC President Ajit Pai who said that briefing was necessary as soon as possible, even though the agency is not operating due to the end of the government.
"This briefing explains why the Federal Communications Commission has not yet completed wireless carriers' unauthorized disclosure of consumer real-time placement and what actions the FCC has taken to address this problem to date," Pallone wrote in his letter.
"An emergency information form is needed for public security and national security and therefore cannot wait for President Trump Donald John TrumpAnalyst says Trump's base will support him if he backs off wall funding demand & # 39; Green Book & # 39; s author apologizes for me slamophobic tweet: & # 39; I'll do better & # 39; poll finds Trump's 44 percent approval rating mid-term MORE decides to reopen government. "
The request comes after tech news outlet Motherboard released this week a report detailing how easy it is for precise location data from particular carriers to be purchased and sold.
The site provided $ 300 and a bounty hunter phone number, which could then track the location of a T-Mobile user within a few hundred meters.
Bounty Hunter did so by purchasing the location data from a company called Microbilt, which had been obtained from a third-party placement aggregator, which in turn had received it from T-Mobile.
T-Mobile responded by promising to close all data transfer to Microbilt from third party, Zumigo, and reiterated its promise to terminate all such data exchange agreements by March.
AT & T also promised this week to close such partnerships, and Sprint said it was cut off data access to Zumigo and Microbilt.
Verizon says it has terminated all third-party placement aggregation agreements apart from a handful of road assistance companies.
But on Friday, Pallone said "the public can no longer rely on their voluntary promises to protect this highly sensitive information," especially after the industry went through a similar scandal last year.
"The FCC must take immediate action to ensure that no wireless operators allow for the violent disclosure of real-time location data and take enforcement action against airlines that violated the Commission's rules and their customers' trust."
The FCC has not responded to pressures due to shutdown. | 2019-04-24T04:45:06 | https://infodol.com/top-house-requesting-fcc-orientation-emergency-information-for-wireless-provider-data-sharing/ |
Raindance Festival London – the Winners!
A film starring Derek Jacobi and a cast of prisoners; a Danish documentary about the love story between two ballroom dancers; a dark Finnish thriller featuring a girl driven into prostitution by debt; the tingling tale of an Afghani orphan, and a Hollywood style musical made indie were amongst the films honoured on October 6th at the Apollo cinema as part of the Raindance Film Festival’s awards ceremony.
Following a 33% increase from last year’s record-breaking attendance figures and a week and a half of irresistible indie film, the Raindance Film Festival comes to a close this Sunday. Raindance received over 4000 submissions from more than 45 countries around the world. Many of the filmmakers have had previous contact with Raindance – either through the revolutionary training programmes Raindance offers or through having submitted a film in previous years – but the festival also welcomed a plethora of new independent filmmakers from 42 countries who have taken their first step in launching their film careers.
In many ways this has been a social-media festival, and the festival’s audiences have really helped to promote the cause of independent filmmaking, with over 22% of the films shown now in discussion for distribution – and that figure is constantly rising. Raindance also received over a million impressions a day through social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. | 2019-04-23T03:03:13 | https://latestenglishmovies.com/raindance-festival-london-the-winners/ |

Ultra-violet radiation from the sun has the consequence of causing DNA mutations in the human genome by forming a dimer between two adjacent thymine residues. This mutation has been linked to skin cancer and occur on a pico-second timescale, where kinetics and dynamics of the excited state are incredible fast. This project hopes to study single DNA nucleotides at cryogenic liquid nitrogen temperature, (77K) where excited state kinetics and dynamics are better resolved than at room temperature. The nucleotides have been shown to dissolve in an ethylene glycol solution and cool to form optically clear glasses. The optically clear glasses are used to collect absorption spectra of the nucleotides in a solid state and are critical to the research. As the nucleotides cool to the anamorphous glassy state, the nucleotides excited state interactions with the solvent are less appreciable then when in the room temperature liquid state. A spectrometer is being built to more accurately measure the change in absorption of the nucleotides as they cool from a liquid state to a glassy state. This study will increase the understanding of isolated nucleotides at cryogenic temperatures and offer information on the dynamics of the excited state of single DNA nucleotides. | 2019-04-24T05:49:41 | https://scholarworks.montana.edu/xmlui/handle/1/704 |

KLA-Tencor Corporation (Nasdaq: KLAC) posted fourth quarter earnings of $26 million, or 28 cents a share Wednesday, beating First Call's expectation of 26 cents a share.
The company, which makes software for yield management in the semiconductor industry, said increasing product demand accounted for the upside surprise. Shares were up 3/8 to 66 Wednesday morning, below their 52-week high of 73 1/16.
Revenue for the quarter was $234 million, compared with revenues of $253 million. Earnings compare with a net income of $23 million, or 26 cents a share in the same period last year.
New order growth was strong and backlog increased across all product lines, the company said. Significant growth occurred in the Film Measurement and E-Beam Wafer Inspection areas. Geographically, Taiwan had the biggest increase in order volume and new orders from Japan also increased.
A shift toward newer products with higher margins and trimmer manufacturing drove up gross margins 1 percent over the previous quarter. Cash and investments in the debt-free company increased to $755 million during the quarter.
Shares in KLA-Tencorsurged last June after chip-equipment stocks were upgraded and demand for semiconductors made a comeback. Eleven out of 19 analysts covering the stock rate it a "moderate buy" according to Zack's Investment Research. | 2019-04-21T15:12:12 | https://www.cnet.com/news/kla-tencor-beats-4q-estimates/ |

If there’s one practice that may connect the disparate traditions that inform Unitarian Universalism, it may be the theme of this week’s small group ministry session based on resources from spiritualityandpractice.com: Wonder. Wonder may be at the root of all human yearnings for the transcendent, the ultimate, the divine; and as such, it motivates much of what we do as a species (once we’ve satisfied our basic physical and emotional needs.) Indeed, wonder could very well be the place in a Venn diagram where religion, science, and art all meet. As Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat say in their introduction to this practice, wonder “increases our capacity to be a bold inner space tripper and an avid explorer of the physical world.” I like that. If the transcendent element is a string that runs through existence from the farthest reaches of the Cosmos into deepest recesses of our hearts, wonder is the frequency at which is vibrates. All we have to do is attune our senses to that vibration and wonder reveals itself to us.
To pray is to take notice of the wonder, to regain a sense of the mystery that animates all beings, the divine margin in all attainments.
A Teaching Story from A Season in the Desert: Making Time Holy by W. Paul Jones.
As I have mentioned, my spiritual director, a hermit, once smiled at me and concluded: “The difference between the two of us is that, while life for me is a matter of passing through, for you it is a matter of drinking deeply of everything along the way.” True. I do not want to miss the aroma of even one wild strawberry along the path. That is, I want to live deeply in time in all its manifold richness.
Perhaps it was because I was younger then, but I often remember an experience with an Atlanta elevator. At a conference in a hotel there, some friends suggested that as an “adventure” I ride with them in a glass elevator to the top. Slowly it rose, as I took in the gothic-like panorama beneath: of water features, plants, chandeliers, and colorful people of all kinds. Suddenly we burst through the roof into momentary darkness, then into a glass tube, where stretching out in all directions were the lights of Atlanta’s skyline and above it, the trek of endless stars. While still mesmerized, we penetrated through a floor into a sphere at the top. And as the doors opened, a friendly voice, with a warm handshake, bid us come and eat.
That night, at a table slowly rotating above the glittering city below, we told stories of past, present, and future. That was when I knowingly celebrated for the first time that I was a joyful denizen of time. Even the infinite space all around was bathed in time. Just that morning I had read that an astronomer had perceived a quark twelve billion light-years hence. Staggered by it all, that night I toasted the God of time, drinking thankfully for being alive in all of time’s multifarious intersections.
Questions: Share a story of some experience, event, or person that aroused or renewed your sense of wonder.
In the muddled mess of this world, in the confusion and boredom and amazement, we ought to be able to spot something — an event, a person, a memory, an act, a turning of the soul, the flash of bright wings, the surprise of sweet compassion — somewhere we ought to pick out a glory to celebrate.
To Practice This Thought:Identify something glorious and celebrate it!

Now that I’m almost done with my semi-regular Sunday feature of small group ministry sessions based on resources from SpiritualityandPractice.com (32 down, 5 to go), I’m feeling like I’d like to continue the practice. So once I’m done with Zeal, the final practice, I’m going to go back and revisit them all, beginning with Attention. However, since I haven’t posted much this month, I thought I’d slip in a extra session in honor of Thanksgiving (and to give me a chance to see what it’s like to come up with a completely new session on a practice I’ve already covered). Here, then, is another session on one of the foundational practices for anyone seeking to live a more spiritual life: Gratitude.
I think the dying pray at the last not “please,” but “thank you,” as a guest thanks his host at the door.
Brother David Steindl-Rast salutes the spirituality of sacred sensuousness and the importance of the listening heart. Here is an excerpt on the spiritual practice of gratitude.
Day and night gifts keep pelting down on us. If we were aware of this, gratefulness would overwhelm us. But we go through life in a daze. A power failure makes us aware of what a gift electricity is; a sprained ankle lets us appreciate walking as a gift, a sleepless night, sleep. How much we are missing in life by noticing gifts only when we are suddenly deprived of them! But this can be changed. We need some methodical exercise in gratefulness. Years ago, I devised a method for myself which has proved quite helpful. Every night I note in a pocket calendar one thing for which I have never before been consciously thankful. Do you think it is difficult to find a new reason for gratitude each day? Not just one, but three and four and five pop into my mind, some evenings. It is hard to imagine how long I would have to live to exhaust the supply.
Questions: Share one thing for which you’ve never before been consciously thankful.
One chief idea of my life . . . is the idea of taking things with gratitude and not taking things for granted.

I have to confess that I’ve found it a little difficult to write about Vision, the topic for this week’s small group ministry session based on resources from SpiritualityandPractice.com. It’s an odd situation for me since INFP (my Myers-Briggs type) is one of three types they label as “visionary” (has something to do with the NF—intuitive and feeling—indicators they say). So I asked my Facebook friends to give me a hand. Friend and colleague Tandi Rogers offered this question to get groups thinking about vision: “What story do you want the next generation to proclaim about what we did to tip the world more toward justice and love?.” And Cindy Beal, a fellow religious educator, suggested that “if we truly believe that the universe ‘bends toward justice,'” and if “we act in cooperation with power/energy/good, then we have the responsibility to be very intentional and thorough in terms of how we envision that future.” Both thoughts remind me of this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: “This time like all times is a very good one if we but know what to do with it.” Vision can help us know what to do with our particular time in history. It puts us in the position of “making history in place of being merely pushed around by it,” as James Luther Adams put it.
This new millennium requires extending our present limited horizons of mind, heart and imagination, as well as expanding our social and religious boundaries. To live with new horizons means constantly stretching our hopes and hearts as far as possible — and then gradually and progressively taking them even beyond those limits.
Editor Phil Cousineau has put together 11 interviews of Native Americans in conversation with Huston Smith about religious expression in America. Here is an excerpt on vision.

A Teaching Story from Yeshua of Nazareth: Spiritual Master by Richard W. Chilson.
Richard W. Chilson, an author and Paulist priest, presents a thought-provoking portrait of Yeshua of Nazareth as a spiritual master. Here is a passage about the spiritual practice of unity.
I remember an embarrassing incident that brought to mind that the ‘enemy’ is my brother. I was driving home on the freeway and as I approached my exit a car dawdled in front of me. Too late to pass him; I was stuck following: as usual I was in a hurry. That driver inspired in me a whole slew of invectives. Spewing epithets I pulled up alongside at the stoplight by the exit. I looked over only to discover a dear friend. Instantly the situation changed although I had not done anything public to express my rage, I felt ashamed and guilty. How could I think these things about him? I had seen him as an obstacle, not a brother. It is the same with the other no matter the situation, from the person ahead of us in line, to our age-old enemy. Whoever it is, they have the same concerns, fears, gifts, and shortcomings we all do. Just another human being trying to do their best, a fellow sufferer of life, a brother or sister at heart, at least in the heart of God.
Questions: What blocks or obstacles most often keep you from feeling that you are one with others.
Only when we have the courage to cross the road and look in one another’s eyes can we see there that we are children of the same God and members of the same human family.
To Practice This Thought: The sight of people from different races and countries, on the street or on television, is your cue to practice unity.

I was reading an article in Huffington Post by Skye Jethani about Megachurches (Megachurches: When Will The Bubble Burst?) when I ran across this unsettling quote: “On average 50 small churches close their doors every week in America.” What? Fifty small churches are closing their doors every week? That’s not very encouraging, especially for a denomination, like, say, the UUA, where two thirds of its congregations have 150 members or less. Does not bode well, if you ask me. And I think small congregations know this, too. Business as usual is not going to cut it any more. Small congregations in any denomination are going to find it more and more difficult to maintain the status quo, let alone grow. Which I why I’m so pleased that the Prairie Star District offered a Small Congregation Conference last weekend in Des Moines, Iowa.
The conference was the brainchild (love that word!) of the Rev. Michael Nelson of our congregation in Manhattan, Kansas (Go Wildcats!). Michael noticed that the UUA regularly sponsored conferences for large and midsize congregations, but had never, as far as he could tell, sponsored one for small congregations. So Michael contacted me and we talked things over and decided this needed to be done. Thanks to a Chalice Lighter grant from Prairie Star, we were able to afford to bring in a topnotch keynote speaker. And knowing that a prophet is seldom welcomed in his or her hometown, we decided to ask someone from outside of the district to be the main presenter at the conference. I’m happy to say that our choice, the Rev. Andrew Pakula from London, England, delivered the goods. Andy offered three presentations over the course of two days. On Friday he gave us the recent history of his congregation in London (check out their website at www.new-unity.org) which has gone from six members in the 2001 (yes, six) to around 35 in 2006 under the leadership of his predessor, and then from 35 to over 100 members in the last 5 years under Andy’s leadership. What’s really exciting about that growth is that 50% of those new members are young adults.
Andy’s follow up presentations on Saturday dealt with using social media and attracting young adults. We also had a variety of workshops led by some terrific people: the Rev. Meg Riley talked with folks about what CLF (Church of the Larger Fellowship) is doing to help small congregations; the Rev. Charlotte Cowtan offered information on the demographics of various communities around the district; the Rev. Thea Nietfield presented information on right relationships and conflict engagement; Lori Emison Clair and Moria Leu of the Des Moines congregation did workshops on membership and music, the Rev. Jill Jarvis & al. talked about moving toward ministry, and Tandi Rogers, UUA growth specialist, did two workshops on faith development in small congregations. The participants were equally stellar as well. We had 12 affilitated congregations from throughout the district represented, along with folks from three new fellowships forming in Prairie Star. All in all, it was a fantastic weekend. Hopefully there will be more events like this in the future. | 2019-04-21T09:11:40 | https://philontheprairie.wordpress.com/2011/11/ |

On Thursday 11 December at 6 pm, MOCAK Library invites you to a lecture by Justyna Prusinowska, PhD, as part of the series of sessions entitled The Avant-garde of Central and Eastern Europe – Innovation or Imitation?
The lecture will be in Polish.
A series of encounters with young reserearchers The Avant-garde of Central and Eastern Europe – Innovation or Plagiarism? carried out at the Faculty of Polish of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow has been financed by a grant from the National Programme of the Development of Humanities of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
The main aim of the project is to find the answer to the question whether it is possible to see the avant-garde movements of our part of Europe as a cohesive artistic genre and if so, what would make it distinct from Western and Russian movements.

Once again, a kind Irish bus driver has become something of a celebrity after stopping his bus to ensure an elderly woman wouldn’t trip on her shoelace.
William Harris was driving the 205 bus in Cork City from the Cork Institute of Technology to the city center when he noticed that an elderly lady getting off the bus had her shoe untied. As her arthritis was preventing her from doing it up herself Harris stepped out of the bus, got down on his knee, and gave her a helping hand.
“I want to commend one of your bus drivers who was driving the 205 service from CIT to Kent Station at 15:40,” O’Brien wrote.
“As an elderly lady was getting off the bus she almost tripped. Once she was off, the driver noticed that her lace was undone and he stalled the bus to tell her. When she said that she knew, he realized that she wasn't steady enough on her feet to bend down and tie it herself, so he got off the bus and tied it for her.
This is not the first time an Irish bus driver has been commended for having a heart of gold either. In November 2015, Belfast bus driver Paul Doyle also earned massive amounts of praise when he pulled over his bus to hand over a present of a winter coat to a homeless man he had noticed living along his route.
Read more: Thousands praise Belfast bus driver’s kind act towards a homeless man.
The image has turned the Cork bus driver into a viral sensation with over 81,000 likes at the time of writing. Many others have also taken to the comments section to share their own stories of kindness shown by the employees of Bus Éireann, Ireland’s national bus service.
“That's my brother!! William Harris my mother bought us up to respect others around!” wrote his sister Martina.
“I'm not surprised by this bus drivers act of kindness,” Fiona Margaret Maher also commented.
Speaking with Cork radio station Red FM on Thursday morning after Bus Éireann allowed him to skip his 11am shift so he could deal with all the interview requests, Harris said he was shocked at the response to an action he had never even given a second thought.
"There was this elderly lady getting off the bus by Brookfield, and I noticed her lace was open,” he told the radio station.
"So I called her and said to her, 'Ma'am, your lace is open'. But she said she couldn't bend down because she suffers from arthritis.
"I just got out of the cab of the bus, I just went down - thought nothing of it - and I tied her lace.
"She said thanks and I just got back on to the bus again, like."
Harris continued to say that he never thought it would be so important for him to simply help out an elderly lady, something he did the whole time when looking after his own mother.
"It's only a small thing, I didn't think it would be that important,” he said.
"We always tied my mother's shoelaces, put on her socks for her. It's just a normal thing.
"People have done a lot better things than I had done yesterday and they never get noticed.
"It's just a small simple thing, it's amazing how it caught on."
Even if it is only a small act, William, we still commend your kindness. Keep doing us proud, bus drivers of Ireland! | 2019-04-18T13:13:12 | https://www.irishcentral.com/culture/irish-bus-driver-who-stopped-to-help-an-old-woman-tie-her-shoe-goes-viral |
Mumbai Indians registered their 1st win in IPL-8 by defeating the Royal Challengers Banglore by 18 runs in the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, in a game where Rohit Sharma supported by Unmukt Chand and Lendl Simmons pulled strings and carried off their team to victory.
Mumbai Indians who were invited to bat first by the home team made few changes and it seemed to work in their favour, they brought in Simmons,Chand and Pandya and all three were the shining stars for MI. Mumbai's Simmons and Parthiv Patel inaugurated the innings brilliantly, Parthiv was bowled by Wiese for 12 and then walked in the 22 year old Delhi lad playing his debut game for the Mumbai side, with immense confidence took Nechim to the cleaners. Simmons and Chand went on to stitch a 72 run stand.
Unmukt and Simmons set the plot for the big total and Rohit Sharma took the reigns in his hands and bolstered the lads from Mumbai to reach 209. With the departure of Lendl Simmons(59), the MI skipper Rohit Sharma took it upon himself to rudder his team to victory. Rohit Sharma and Unmukt Chand got back the firework in the Chinaswamy Stadium. The Captain supported the young gun who got his maiden half century, after playing a splendid knock for his side, Chand departed for 58.
Pollard and Rayudu followed him soon without causing much of destruction. MI skipper Rohit played his part and suddenly the Mumbai team collapsed. Hardik Pandya opened his account for the Mumbai Indians with a six, and played some big shots which helped Mumbai Indians reach 209/7 in 20 overs, Harbhajan Singh being run out on the last ball.
Nothing seemed to work in the favor of the home team today, neither their bowling nor batting or fielding. Chris Gayle who is an important ingredient in RCB's key to success formula departed early, the likes of Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik too failed. As the RCB skipper and his left hand Chris Gayle went back to the pavilion, the hopes of the Banglore fans kept sinking.
There was only one man who could save them and it was the South African Captain, who did not spare the bowlers and gave boys from Mumbai a taste of their own flavour. AB de Villiers(41), went hammer and tonks before MI dismissed him to all but seal the match.
David Wiese(47) came toward the penultimate overs and endeavored to rescue RCB, but he was too late and failed to play a miraculous innings which could have turned the tables around.
It would have been wise if Captain Kohli would have promoted de Villiers before Karthik, as ABD could have bent things in the Challengers favour.
This man was there whenever the team needed him and delivered his best, helping the MI team to end their losing streak,thus Harbhajan Singh was given the Man of the Match award. The T20 extravaganza continues as the Delhi Daredevils take over the Kolkata Knight Riders at Feroz Shah Kotla tomorrow. | 2019-04-23T06:12:27 | https://www.thesportmatrix.com/2015/04/mumbai-snap-losing-streak-trash.html |

This book focuses on the Irish Nobel laureate W. B. Yeats (1865-1939), and his interest in the Upaniṣads, the ancient Sanskrit scriptures of India. Yeats undertook to assist the Indian monk Shree Purohit Swāmi in the task of translating the Ten Principal Upanishads into English. Not only did Yeats impart the qualities of spontaneity and fidelity into the work, but also managed to enhance his own creativity. The philosophy of the Upaniṣads enabled him to better understand and revise certain sections of A Vision: the Sphere or ultimate reality, the lunar symbolism and eschatology. Yeats found in the Upaniṣads a confirmation of his belief in the immortality of the soul, something he had sought to prove through countless visits to séances. Yeats also discovered a parallel for his concept of Unity of Being in Turīya, a final stage in meditation wherein bliss and a consciousness of unity are achieved. Imagination, he discovered, was a faculty of the Ātman or Self. It created the images in anima mundi seen in their trances by seers and poets. To Yeats, imagination explained the nature of revelation. Finally, just as an Upaniṣadic seer meditated upon any object chosen from the universe in order to reach the formless reality beyond, a poet could use symbols that a reader would meditate upon, thus evoking the original experience of the poet in the reader’s mind.

I’m usually not one for surprises. In fact, I don’t like them. I have a few control issues (OK, a lot of control issues) and knowing there is a surprise makes me all jittery inside. So when I received my itinerary for the Iron Man 3 premiere last April, seeing the world “surprise” did not sit well with me, and no, the word “special” before surprise did not make it better.
It turns out all surprises are not bad. In fact, this surprise rocked, in the biggest of ways. In fact, it was so good that we (the other awesome bloggers with me on this trip) gave up LUNCH for this special surprise. Being in LA and giving up lunch? That was huge for me but not as huge as being on the set of Captain America: The Winter soldier AND getting to chat and meet Chris Evans!
In fact, the first 30 seconds of the clip above is the scene that was saw being filmed. I’m terrible at remembering lines from movies but, “this guy’s got a rep for maximum casualties” stuck in my head for some reason. I have a new appreciation for what it takes to film a movie. It’s definitely a hurry up and wait type of atmosphere and when you have Directors like Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, you understand why. While the scene was being filmed, we were lucky enough to get headphones so we could hear everything that was being said inside that ship. Everything.

I got wind of this through an article in the local newspaper here, le Progrès.
Apparently an over-supply of hops over the past decade led many hops producers to change crops due to the resulting falling prices. In turn, the pendulum has now swung over to the other side and there is now a shortage of hops. In addition, the beer industry is suffering from other negative influences such as increasing barley prices, draught—sorry, drought—rising fuel prices and bad weather in Europe, just to name a few.
This is a serious emergency: microbreweries in Oregon, Washington and the world-over are suffering and beer prices are increasing!
So start home brewing. Hops are plentiful here, and can be found growing in the wild. As can many varieties of barley. Seriously though, this has all the possibilities of a major problem for the beer consuming public.

You probably didn’t need any research to tell you that the use of social networks at corporations in on the rise. This is true both when it comes to employees who are spending time on Facebook and Twitter and when it comes to the incorporation of social technologies into one’s daily workflow.
Couple this with the fact that just about every business, large or small, is looking to leverage these networks for some perceived (and often real) gain, and you’ve got a major blurring of the line between workplace, home and social life. It’s all merging into the same virtual stream. | 2019-04-21T14:08:41 | https://nextdraft.com/2009/11/11/you-got-your-social-life-in-my-business/ |
Lisa Hallett is the President and Co-Founder of wear blue: run to remember. On August 25, 2009, Lisa’s husband, CPT John Hallett, was killed when his Stryker was attacked with an improvised explosive device in southern Afghanistan. Surviving the loss of her husband, best friend, and father of her three young children, Lisa turned to running. An avid runner, she soon found a community that needed the same kind of support that running gave her. Creating wear blue gave Lisa a healthy outlet for her grief and a path to move forward, and she’s committed to sharing that with others. Lisa has an M.Ed.T. from University of Hawaii and a B.A. in English Literature from University of California- Santa Barbara. She completed her fifth ultra-marathon in December 2013, and has set a full marathon PR of 3:37:52. Lisa has completed three Ironman races, with her most recent the Ironman World Championships. Lisa and her three young children reside in DuPont, WA. They are moving forward and loving life, honoring John with every step.

Euclid’s Elements are probably the second most important book in history (after the Bible) but it took some time after Gutenberg to print them, as people had to figure out how to set the geometric figures. I frequently bring my math classes in to see the edition (also the first printed edition in English, which Houghton also possesses). It’s a great piece of mathematical history, and the ability to print the triangles represents a real advance in technology. | 2019-04-21T22:05:21 | http://houghton75.org/?artwork=benedict-gross |

In a more recent case, Judge Shea was confronted with the claim of Bruce Martin, a carpenter seeking treatment for what he insisted was a work-related back problem. While there is no reason to believe that Martin was partaking of Brock Hopkins’s favorite recreational drug, he did manage to present a narrative that consistently conflicted with the perceptions of virtually everyone else involved: his employer, Jesse Chase, co-worker Barry Hollander, and claims adjuster Michele Fairclough.
Martin claimed he injured his back while stripping the plastic protective barrier off of metal siding – a relatively light-duty task. But in walking off the job that morning, he stated to his boss that his sciatica was acting up and that it was not work related. Only after going to an Urgent Care clinic did he claim that the injury happened at work. Why? We can assume that he wanted his employer to pick up the tab through workers comp.
Martin’s history of back problems began in the early 1990s, following a motor vehicle accident. He treated sporadically with Dr. Aumann, a chiropractor. Dr. Aumann, sympathetic to his long-term patient, thought that “on a more- probable-than-not” basis that Martin’s injury was the result of the work accident he described. Unfortunately for Martin, no one else bought his story, even as the story itself changed over time.
It is not altogether impossible to feel a little sympathy for Martin: he has a real back problem. He is experiencing legitimate pain. He has difficulty performing physical work and is not trained to do anything else. He desperately needs income. Martin is like a lot of other American workers in these troubled times, living day-to-day on the edge of disaster. While we can understand why he would try to stretch the facts to fit the workers comp mold, we acknowledge that he was wrong to do it. As Judge Shea concluded, Martin was not injured as the result of an industrial accident. Given that definitive ruling, Martin, bad back and all, is simply on his own.

Ecommerce business is witnessing a new leash of life across the world as more and more customers are realising the benefits of shopping online and that’s too from anywhere. They can shop from the comfort of their homes or while moving in a bus or train. With spread of internet connection across the country and more and more consumers getting the benefits of online world, the revolution of ecommerce business has just started in India. With increasing sales prospects, the total number of ecommerce sites is also increasing. There are many such businesses who don’t have a clear idea on hosting, the basic thing required to run your online business. Many say that managed dedicated hosting services are the best for large eCommerce businesses. How do you know? Let’s find out.
These are the most secured hosting solution that not only gives you complete control of the server resources but also provides maximum security to data. Dedicated servers provide maximum service because it is dedicated for one user only. E-commerce businesses involve financial transactions and client data. These information need to be stored in such a manner that there are no chance of information or data compromise. When you choose a hosting platform, you have to decide whether it is a dedicated managed one or an unmanaged one. Most of the times, users tend to go for the unmanaged ones because they don’t have a clear picture of the advantages of managed dedicated hosting services. One of the disadvantages of unmanaged dedicated servers is that it is pre-configured and the choice is limited for the user while setting up the server.
Managed Dedicated Hosting Service – What’s so special?
When you opt for managed services, you essentially give the onus of smooth running of the dedicated server on the service provider itself. This service comes at an additional cost to the server charges, which is also not a big amount. In fact, by choosing this service you give a small amount and save appointing a dedicated expert member in the IT team at high salary for looking after the dedicated server. In case of managed service, the service provider provides you additional services of setting up the server, monitoring it round the clock, maintain its running all the time, securing the server, and then patching the hosting server on your behalf. This gives you complete peace of mind as you now know that there will be no downtime of the dedicated hosting solution and therefore no problem in running your ecommerce business 24x7.
What are the Facilities you get with Managed Dedicated Server?
• Set-Up – When you go for managed service, the service provider will install the control panel as well as the operating system (Linux or Windows – whichever is preferred by you). As a user you have the administrative access. However, in almost all the cases, it has been seen that the administrative access is hardly used by the user. Mostly, the managed hosting solution is accessed by the client virtually with the help of the control panel.
• Monitoring – It is the onus of the service provider to provide you with complete and round the clock monitoring of the dedicated hosting server. Some of the essentials that are monitored include Apache, database, network, and server monitoring. One of the most essential works that is being done by the managed service is the continuous monitoring of the website uptime so that your customers get the best webpage loading time. Ping monitors are run by the server service provider for monitoring both network uptime as well as server uptime.
• Security Scans – Monthly security scan is done by the managed service provider and ensures that your e-commerce website or the system doesn’t have any virus or bug. The reports thereby produced are reviewed too.
• Application Support and Patching – All the applications that you need are installed as well as updated on your behalf by the managed dedicated hosting service provider. All kinds of bug fixation, updates, and implementation of patches of the application as well as the official operating system is done by the service provider.
• Other Services – Good managed service providers also provide businesses with troubleshooting, hardware/software upgrade, on-call maintenance, and back-up services to the user.
These are the reasons why you should choose managed dedicated hosting services. | 2019-04-26T00:37:31 | https://www.dialwebhosting.com/blog/web-hosting/can-managed-hosting-help-ecommerce-business |
Excellent book for those revising for their Numeracy Test. I was really worried about the test and after working through every section of this book and completing the practice tests I felt super confident! I'm pleased to say all the revision paid off and I passed the Numeracy test first time.
This is a brilliant book with easy to understand explanations and examples as well as practice tests. It is a must have for those who lack confidence in maths!
If you find that this book is not as helpful as you might have hoped for, note that there is no free returns with this book or even the option of posting it....cheapest cost of return would be £3.99 at a drop off point. Poor!
This book is ideal if, like me, you have not done maths in many years and need to brush up your skills in advance of the QTS Numeracy Professional Skills Test. The examples are very clearly laid and all steps are always included (unlike many other books aimed at the same audience). Speedy mental methods are included. There are a few practice papers for both mental and on-screen tests, all of which seem to be at the correct level of difficulty. More practice questions would have been helpful, however these can be found online and in other books. I worked through this from cover to cover and then dipped in and out as needed. I genuinely went from lacking any numeracy confidence to passing first time. If you only buy one qts numeracy book go for this one.
Explained everything very clearly and really helped me with my maths. However their were a few typos, where the answer was actually wrong (the answer would then be times'd by something else showing its in-correction).
Step 4: to work out the mean simply divide 948 (typo, should be 964) by the total frequency .
I purchased this for my daughter and she found it extremely helpful. She would recommend this book as a study aid as it has a lot of good examples and shortcut hints.
She passed the literacy and the numeracy and said the book was invaluable.
This book is very helpful for going through the various formulas and methods step-by-step, some of which I did not know, however the mock exam questions given here are considerably easier than the actual questions you will encounter, so if you want to practice, probably better to look elsewhere.
Sadly disappointed with the book. Assumes sound maths already which I have struggled with. Even my son (A-level maths and physics) has said the way things are explained are not well represented. I used a GCSE book which helped much more but only the bits I needed for the test which I passed and Good Luck for all those who are about to do it!
This book is great for showing worked examples and explaining the methodology in simple terms. As someone who struggles with maths without knowing a specific method to calculate an answer, this book was great at teaching methods. The mock questions for the mental arithmetic were a life saver and working through these had me feeling confident for sitting the test, which I passed first time.
I really struggle with maths and had forgotten near enough everything required for the QTS Numeracy Skills Test and was terrified of failing this test. I bought another book too (Mark Patmore Pass First Time) but this explained the basics in a really simple, accessible way. I used this and the other book and passed first time. I would recommend this if maths is not your strong point or you've forgotten what you learned many moons ago. Good luck!
5.0 out of 5 starsBest QTS study book!
Out of all the study resources I used, this was a winner, because it cuts out complicating information, explains things in a simple way and I passed both tests with ease! | 2019-04-18T18:55:44 | https://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/1979924902?ie=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1979924902&pd_rd_r=031de162-602f-11e9-978b-c18f09fd2727&pd_rd_w=dbA3O&pd_rd_wg=lGWfn&pf_rd_p=18edf98b-139a-41ee-bb40-d725dd59d1d3&pf_rd_r=ZGJ31P73G37WEQ71FXRP |
Its last best work, but forms a softer man.
To spin, to weep, and cully human race.
Woman is at best a contradiction still.
Oblige here, and she'll hate you while you live.
Man can receive, or Providence bestow.
And clap your padlock--on her mind.
Provided a woman be well principled, she has dowry enough.
When a woman is openly bad she is then at her best. | 2019-04-25T22:19:20 | http://www.giga-usa.com/quotes/topics/women_t015.htm |

Whether you are preserving a trial victory or appealing a loss, appellate litigation is about problem solving and good judgment. Not every appealable issue is a winning issue, and not every winning issue is obvious. We pride ourselves on being able to discern the difference, prioritize the best issues, and frame the argument to preserve a victory or overturn a loss.
In cases tried by FormanWatkins, our experienced appellate attorneys work hand-in-hand with trial teams to ensure proper development of the record and preservation of issues for appeal. We also pride ourselves on being thought leaders for the issues consistently faced by our clients. When those issues are presented or are ripe for appeal, FormanWatkins helps to develop comprehensive approaches to those problems and thoughtfully attacks the issues that can shape the litigation for years to come.
Additionally, our approach to preparing, briefing, and arguing an appeal is influenced by the firsthand knowledge of the firm’s former judicial law clerks. FormanWatkins boasts four former federal circuit clerks, two state Supreme Court clerks, and a number of federal district court clerks. FormanWatkins attorneys have also served in state attorney general and district attorney offices. We believe this intimate knowledge of the courts allows us to better inform our clients about what to expect during an appeal and predict to how arguments will be received by the court.
Our attorneys have argued appeals in numerous federal courts of appeals and state appellate or high courts in jurisdictions throughout the country. FormanWatkins has extensive experience appearing before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (involving Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas federal district courts) and before the Mississippi Supreme Court; however, the firm’s appellate success is not geographically limited. We have handled appeals in three other federal circuits and a number of State appellate courts and have won appeals in some of the nation’s most influential courts, including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and the New York Court of Appeals. | 2019-04-24T14:51:23 | http://www.formanwatkins.com/practices/litigation/appellate/ |

A multi-year comprehensive energy efficiency retrofit project was released by the military for a large military base in the South. Part of this large scale project was upgrading the HVAC systems for several facilities. One example from this base wide project was an office building that received new sensors and controls for an existing HVAC system. As project manager and designer, the design/build firm was allocated the Section 179D deduction by the government owner. In this example, the HVAC retrofit resulted in a 21.30% power and energy savings. As a result, the design/build firm was eligible for a $0.60/SF Section 179D deduction or $49,827.60. | 2019-04-25T22:26:20 | https://www.concordlp.com/case_study/military-base-office-building/ |

A powerful medium as it is, photography has been used to advocate for social and environmental awareness since the early days of its invention. Ansel Adams’ images of wild America were not only visual testimonials of nature’s beauty but also calls for its preservation. As environmental concern grew, so did conservation photography.
Conservation photography as a discipline is only 10 years old. It was recognized as a stand-alone category in 2005 when Cristina Goettsch Mittermeier defined the term and established the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP). What separates conservation photography from nature photography is the purpose of taking photographs. Photography can be a great tool to give a voice to those who need it most and, in this case, nature is the one that needs to be heard. The goal of conservation photography is to create powerful images of the vanishing beauty of our planet to encourage people to take action in the conservation of nature. As such, this kind of photography is inherently political. It is both art and activism.
Motivated by the continual environmental decline, conservation photographers visualize such issues in order to raise awareness, elicit concerns and emotions and ultimately affect human behavior. Counting that a picture is worth a thousand words, in the hands of conservation photographers it becomes a tool for change. They turn their lenses toward nature with the proactive approach to make images that will “work” toward the protection of the subject they are shooting.
Conservation photography is an art form born of environmental concern and conservation commitment. As conservation challenges continue to grow, the need for this kind of issue-oriented photography is also growing. It becomes instrumental in protecting the environment and saving endangered species from extinction and indigenous people culture from disappearance. | 2019-04-19T18:53:35 | https://www.eyemage.gallery/art-collecting/2017/11/13/0hz91mbazuyqh7duv2tqawytb2vsqh |

It’s tempting to argue otherwise, especially now. Gasoline and crude oil have rallied sharply this year, creating what some might call a disconnect between tame inflation indexes overall and a critical price surge in the daily lives of consumers. For some folks, there’s more than numbers at work here; rather, it’s a conspiracy by the government to fool us into thinking that inflation is low when in fact it’s soaring. Gasoline prices, after all, are up roughly 50% this year. Surely, inflation can’t be docile.
But it’s almost always misguided to let energy prices guide your thinking on current and future inflation. Stripping out these prices (along with food prices) may seem like a dark plot by the government to mislead us, but in fact it’s just prudent economic modeling. Numerous research studies tell us why, but the most powerful explanation comes directly from history.
Consider how the headline measure of the Consumer Price Index compares with its core counterpart (which removes food and energy) on a rolling one-year percentage-change basis. As the chart below shows, headline inflation (red line) is a volatile beast, in part because energy and food prices bounce around by more than trivial degrees. Note, too, that the headline’s volatility tends to randomly fluctuate around the core data (black line). The obvious implication: if you’re looking for a robust measure of inflation’s trend, core is a better yardstick.
In reality, the energy bull market was having little if any influence on US inflation writ large. Indeed, core CPI was relatively stable in 2008. The attention of conspiracy theorists and inflation hawks, however, was firmly centered on headline inflation and the energy markets – a focus that ended up being deeply misleading… again.
But old habits die hard when it comes to looking for smoking guns in the inflation data. Some pundits are again pushing the runaway inflation narrative by claiming that this year’s run-up in the energy markets is a sign of things to come for the general price trend.
But core CPI disagrees, at least so far. This measure of inflation has been running below 2% at an annual rate for three months in a row through March – mildly below the Fed’s 2% inflation target. If this year’s rally in energy prices is an early warning that inflation’s trend is due for a hefty round of acceleration, there’s no sign of it in core CPI. That’s a reason to remain cautious that we’re on the cusp of upside breakout for prices overall.
Core CPI’s record on predicting headline CPI is mixed, at best. But as a general guide for monitoring the inflation trend in real time, core still beats headline by a wide margin. | 2019-04-18T17:11:06 | http://www.capitalspectator.com/will-rising-energy-prices-lead-to-higher-inflation/ |
The total number of people who have now been formally identified, to the satisfaction of the Coroner, as having died as a result of the fire at Grenfell Tower is now 70. A stillborn baby, baby Logan, has also been recorded as a victim of the fire.
On Tuesday, 15 November the identities of the last two people were confirmed by the Coroner.
All those identified were people who police anticipated would be recovered from Grenfell Tower, and who had been reported missing since Wednesday, 14 June. Police now believe that all those who died in the fire have been recovered and identified. The thoughts of the Metropolitan Police Service are with all those families and friends who have lost loved ones.
Dr Fiona Wilcox, senior Coroner for Westminster, intends to open and adjourn the final planned inquests on Wednesday, 22 November.
The search operation inside Grenfell Tower is nearing its final stage. Specially trained officers from the Met, City of London Police and British Transport Police have been engaged in the mammoth search and recovery operation. Every single flat on every single floor and every communal area has now been thoroughly and meticulously searched. This has included a full forensic fingertip search, with officers examining 15.5 tonnes of debris on each floor.
Officers have been supported throughout the process by forensic anthropologists, archaeologists and odontologists.
Whilst the final stage of the search operation is not expected to conclude until early December, the Met believes that based on all the work carried out so far and the expert advice, it is highly unlikely there is anyone who remains inside Grenfell Tower.
Commander Stuart Cundy, said: “I have been clear from the start that a priority for us was recovering all those who died, and identifying and returning them to their families. I cannot imagine the agony and uncertainty that some families and loved ones have been through whilst we have carried out our meticulous search, recovery and identification process.
“It is vital that our search and identification operation was undertaken in a manner that families and loved ones could have complete confidence in. We continue to provide every support we can to those bereaved, keeping them updated on our efforts.
“Specialist teams working inside Grenfell Tower and the mortuary have pushed the boundaries of what was scientifically possible to identify people. After the fire was finally put out I entered Grenfell Tower and was genuinely concerned that due to the intensity and duration of the fire, that we may not find, recover and then identify all those who died.
“I know that each and every member of the team has done absolutely all they can to make this possible. They have done that for every person who lost their life, their families and loved ones, and all those for whom Grenfell Tower was home.
In June, based on what was known, police believed about 80 people had died. In September, police indicated that the final number believed to have died would be below 80.
Huge amounts of investigative work has been undertaken by the Met’s team to identify who was in Grenfell Tower on the night of the fire; who was missing and presumed dead; enquire after those reported missing and ultimately reconcile all this information.
In the days following the fire the Met Casualty Bureau handled thousands of calls from people reporting that they knew or believed someone was inside Grenfell Tower that night. Each and every call was logged and investigated. On Thursday, 15 June, the Met was facing the challenge of 400 people listed as missing.
That included reconciling multiple missing reports of the same person, for example one person was reported 46 separate times. Some were reported under a number of different names, even the slightest differences in spellings had to be thoroughly investigated and reconciled. Until that process was complete those people continued to be regarded as missing.
The extensive work to locate all those reported as missing only concluded in the last few weeks. Police are now confident they have all been traced and accounted for.
Unfortunately, a number of people were also reported to police as having died in the fire as part of what we believe to be frauds, by individuals intending to financially benefit from the tragedy. Detectives investigating the frauds have carried out substantial work to prove that those people linked to these cases were not victims of the fire. Earlier this month one man pleaded guilty to fraud; he had claimed that his wife and son both died in the fire. There are a number of ongoing fraud investigations and it would be inappropriate for police to provide further details at this time.
Detectives have also used CCTV and police body worn video to identify everyone captured on film escaping Grenfell Tower after the fire started just before 1am, which police believe is the most accurate record of who was in Grenfell Tower. Footage shows that after the fire started, 223 people escaped Grenfell Tower that night and survived. Police therefore believe that there were 293 people in Grenfell Tower when the fire started. A number of other residents were not at home that night.
Commander Cundy, concluded: “The human cost and terrible reality of what took place at Grenfell Tower affects so many people. Our search operation and ongoing investigation is about those people. Tragically, that night, 70 children and adults died and a baby was stillborn. My thoughts, and those of all my colleagues in the Met Police are with all those who lost their loved ones, those who survived, the local community and all those who live with this tragedy every day. | 2019-04-23T06:00:41 | http://www.victoriamedia.net/index.php/2017/11/16/number-of-victims-of-the-grenfell-tower-fire-formally-identified-is-70/ |

The term ‘Patient centred approach’ often feels overused, yet at its core, it should be the driver for the health system - of which pharma plays an instrumental part.
Yet, it is so much more than a patients’ world; it is part of the patients' universe. To work with the patient universe, we have to adopt a system wide approach that is designed to take into account the needs not just of the patient, but the pharmaceutical company, payors, HCPs and the patients' supporters and carers.
As we consider a true patient centred approach, we need to understand the needs of the system in a very different way. It’s not enough to understand the drivers, we need to drill down and identify the outcomes that would be expected across the whole system if they are to adopt a truly patient centred approach.
Pharma outcomes – demonstrating the impact of the drug and approach, the impact the approach has on the patient and ultimately an increase in sales.
In order to achieve this, we have to change the way that we work. Using the ICE excellence model, we move from a culture of design in isolation and market test, to one of co-creation and collaboration.
The model follows a systemic approach by bringing all of your stakeholders together to design the future state. This places the patient at the very centre of the work and designs with them in mind, whilst ensuring the needs of the wider system are met.
We involve the people in the system in every step of our programme design. By involving the people in the whole system, we make them true designers of the future, rather than validators of previous thinking.
Being outcomes focused, the model concentrates on values, beliefs and behaviours and supports a truly patient centre approach. This ensures that we design for the whole system - this is crucial in supporting patients to become engaged with their own health and condition management. | 2019-04-23T07:52:19 | http://voice.icecreates.com/categories/Pharmaceutical |

Calendar application redesigned to incorporate todo lists right into it.
While designing this page we wanted the event details provided for each item in the agenda list to be uniform in font and size as we wanted the main focus to be on the information being communicated to the user so that they did not have a difficulty reading the event details (a problem which occurs in the Google Calendar app).
We noticed that many calendar applications did not have the ability to allow a user to invite other friends into an event and noticed that pictures taken during an event time period did not directly get synced to the additonal information page for an event. Hence we incorporated both of these features into our user interface as we found them essential for the user.
We noticed that many users had a separate to do list app on their phone as their default calendar app did not provide this feature. To fix this issue we created a simple drag and drop feature where a to do list could be created and assigned to a day and could be dragged onto a free slot allowing him to directly interact with it and tick off the tasks he has completed. | 2019-04-21T06:34:09 | https://zcolah.myportfolio.com/calendar-loop-os |

Afia Schwarzenegger has reacted to allegation from her ex-lover, Prince Williams that she told him during their happy that Dr. Osei Kwame Despite, CEO of Despite Group attempted to use her for rituals when she worked with Okay FM a few years ago.
According to Prince Williams, Afia Schwar told him that when Despite found out she has uncovered his evil plan, he bought her BMW X6 to shut her up.
But according to Afia, she has never said anything of that sort to Prince Williams when they were friends. She denied the allegations and even revealed they never dated but were only friends.
Touching how she acquired her BMW X6, Afia Schwarzenegger revealed it was part of the contract agreement when Okay FM poached her from Kasapa FM.
I am also hearing this for the 1st time, I have always acknowledged Dr. Osei Kwame Despite on every platform and also made it known to the world that my BMW X6 is part of My poaching deal with the Despite Group of Companies and Never a gift to shut me up, on what?
I have never for once said what is written to anyone, therefore, I will advise y’all to stay calm whiles the court of this land deal with the issue, per my lawyer’s advice I think this can make me some cool cash.
As a former employee of the Despite group of companies, I can assure you that such allegations leveled against my boss are baseless and you should all regard it as childish and unintelligent utterances! | 2019-04-21T22:06:41 | https://www.ghpage.com/afia-schwarzenegger-despite-rituals-killing-prince-williams/78988/ |

WASHINGTON--In the mid-19th century, Londoners were dying by the hundreds from cholera, then a mysterious disease whose origins were unknown. British physician John Snow correctly deduced that the source was the water supply. In one simple action--removing the handle from the Broad Street water pump so residents could not obtain the tainted water--he contained the deadly epidemic.
This lesson, one of the earliest examples of medical detective work, haunts British writer Edward Hooper. The author of a new book on AIDS, Hooper is on a campaign to persuade the medical world that the deadly HIV virus may have been unleashed more than 30 years ago by well-meaning Western doctors giving experimental polio vaccines to African children.
In "The River," a 1,100-page examination of the history of AIDS that took him nine years to research and write, Hooper says an oral vaccine given to about a million people in central Africa from 1957 to 1960 was cultured from the cells of primates. Scientists have concluded in recent years that AIDS originated in a primate: the chimpanzee.
Most scientists believe that the transfer from chimps to people came from slaughtering and eating butchered chimps. Hooper argues instead that cells from infected chimpanzees could have been part of the polio vaccine.
He reasons that although Africans have been killing and eating the meat of primates for centuries, the earliest known sample of the human AIDS virus is from 1959--after the polio vaccine had been administered. He writes that areas in which the polio vaccine was administered later became the epicenter of the African AIDS epidemic. And he says the researchers giving out the polio vaccine were also engaged in medical experiments on several hundred chimps in an African camp.
"It is, in short, not unreasonable to propose that some of the [vaccine] batches fed in Central Africa between 1957 and 1960 could have been prepared in chimp tissue, and that some of this tissue may have been infected with the . . . precursor of HIV," he writes.
If that is true, Hooper's case history on AIDS could serve as a cautionary tale for researchers today, a warning that the crossing from animals to humans is fraught with peril.
Within the next few years, scientists are expected to accelerate research using cells and organs transplanted from animals into human beings. Pigs are being bred for their genetic parts. Companies in Britain and the United States are competing to perfect the procedures that will prevent humans from rejecting the organs. Given long waiting lists for human organs, many recipients might well have no choice but to risk getting a baboon's heart or a pig's liver if it would prolong life.
Hooper is trying to raise a red flag, concerned that using animal cells, tissues and organs in humans could spread the same kind of deadly infectious agent that led to the AIDS epidemic. He thinks the medical community should take note.
"If the genesis of AIDS involved avoidable events, or human error, then perhaps we can . . . avoid similar disasters in the future," he said in an interview in Washington, where he stopped to do some book interviews before returning to his home in Somerset, a rural area in the west of England. "When the stakes are as high as this, scientists need to exercise extreme caution before introducing procedures we may regret for generations to come."
Despite the book's favorable reviews in prominent scientific journals, few in the scientific world have shown much interest. Disdain would be more like it.
"He does the field a service by raising the question," said David Ho, a leading AIDS researcher who directs the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center in New York. "But we all have more pressing things to attend to."
"It is enough trying to keep the research effort going and providing patient care [without spending] any time on this," agreed Dr. Robert T. Schooley, head of infectious diseases at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. "Life is short. This is not the way I want to spend mine."
Hooper is baffled by the collective cold shoulder, but he persists. "People don't want to know about this, that it could be a physician-caused catastrophe," said Hooper, a former BBC correspondent in Africa and one of the first to cover the AIDS epidemic there. "But I don't think this thing is going to go away."
Texas author Tom Curtis first aired the polio vaccine theory in a Rolling Stone article in 1992. Now an editor at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, he applauds Hooper's efforts and echoes his warning that the unleashing of AIDS could be a harbinger of even worse occurrences.
"Wherever AIDS came from, we know we had a species jump," Curtis said. "There is no reason to think this could not happen again with another virus we know nothing about. We put these cells into people, suppress their immune systems to prevent rejection, and turn them into human petri dishes" for other unknown viruses.
The main target of Hooper's suspicions, Dr. Hilary Koprowski, who led the experiment, is now in his 80s and living in Philadelphia, where he still conducts medical research.
A Polish emigre who came to America in 1940, Koprowski dismissed the book in an interview as "outrageous," saying Hooper "got a preconceived notion that is simply not based on facts. I lived through it--and Hooper only imagines what happened."
Koprowski admitted that scientists at the Wistar Institute, a Philadelphia facility, used cultures from primates, but he denied that any of those animals were chimpanzees. Mostly he remembered the pressure to do something about the scourge known as polio.
During the late 1950s, Koprowski and other researchers were desperately trying to put an end to that disease, which crippled or killed many of its victims and terrified the world.
They administered an experimental live-virus polio vaccine known as CHAT throughout a region that is now Rwanda, Burundi and Congo--areas that ultimately became a hotbed of AIDS.
Hooper suggests that kidneys from chimpanzees may have been used as a medium in which to grow some batches of the live-virus vaccine. Cells from animal organs are now--and were in the 1950s--often used in this way.
To be sure, Koprowski was involved in the establishment of a large chimpanzee colony near Stanleyville called Camp Lindi, where the animals were used for various medical experiments. Stanleyville, now named Kisangani, was in what was then the Belgian Congo. Hooper believes that among the experiments that may have used chimpanzee cells was that involving the polio vaccine.
But even Hooper admits that there are no available records, and much secrecy surrounded the camp when it was operating.
As for Koprowski, while acknowledging the existence of the chimpanzee colony, he insists that only Asian monkeys were the basis for his experimental polio vaccine. Chimpanzees "were never used," he said. "I used only Asian monkeys. Not even monkeys from Africa."
Hooper says that last summer--too late to be included in the book--he met with an African who worked at Camp Lindi between 1956 and 1959. The man described to him how Koprowski's Belgian medical colleagues would come to the camp, anesthetize the chimps and extract their organs, taking them away.
"It was a routine procedure, which supports my contention that the major reason for the camp was to provide chimpanzee kidneys," Hooper said.
"Starter" samples of the vaccine are still stored in a locked freezer at the Wistar Institute, where they have been for more than 40 years. Hooper and others--including a scientific panel that investigated after the Rolling Stone article appeared--say the samples should be tested for the presence of simian immunodeficiency virus, which in chimps is similar to HIV in humans--although no one knows whether this material was used to develop the same stocks administered in Africa.
"Wistar looked for competent and objective labs to do the work," said Ho, who served on the panel that investigated. "There was little enthusiasm. Since no one was pressuring the situation, they simply dropped the issue after some time."
Dr. Clayton Buck, Wistar's chief administrative officer, said the institute is willing to make the samples available for testing, although he said there is little impetus from outside scientific bodies to do so.
"We aren't going to learn anything that will shed any light on the disease itself, but serious questions have been raised, and we have a credibility problem," Buck said. "We owe something to the public and to science."
Most of those involved in the African experiments have died. Koprowski is still doing research, now with Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. He fears that resurrecting this controversy "will make people afraid of polio vaccines and hurt the global eradication effort."
He sued Curtis and Rolling Stone after the 1992 article appeared--a suit that was settled for $1 with a published "clarification" saying the scientific panel that investigated concluded that the polio scenario was unlikely.
Koprowski does not appear as quick to sue Hooper as he was Rolling Stone. "I have left it in the hands of my lawyers to decide what, if anything, to do," he said.
Even Hooper acknowledges that "the case is not proven." Yet he hopes to attract the best scientific minds to convene a meeting--perhaps in London--to discuss some of the issues he raises.
"There is no concrete physical evidence, as yet, to prove the theory, even if the anecdotal and circumstantial evidence is highly persuasive," Hooper said. "What I hope is that the scientific establishment, and in particular its AIDS researchers--many of whom have, until now, shown an unseemly desire to brush the theory under the carpet--will now be encouraged to initiate an independent investigation."
Hooper says it is not enough to pursue new advances in AIDS therapy--that now is the moment to pause and take a long look back. "It's the appropriate time to return once more to that vital question about origin, and see where the answers lead us," he said. | 2019-04-20T16:39:16 | http://aidsorigins.com/lessons-sought-origin-aids |

Email marketing is still the most effective tool in a marketer’s arsenal. Since it’s so insanely profitable, you can’t afford to sleep on continuing to build an email list for your eCommerce business as quickly as possible.
According to some research from Shopify, email marketing provides a nearly 4,300% ROI, in addition to roughly 70% of email recipients saying that they use coupons or discounts after learning about them in an email.
Your email list is yours. Unless you sell it (which you should never, ever do) you own the relationship between your company and the customer. This is a unique situation because every other marketing channel allows you to “lease” customers and their information. Because you spend money in Instagram, they allow you to market to their audience. What most marketers forget, though, is that Instagram could take all of their audience information away and leave you with next to nothing in terms of a marketable audience.
That’s perhaps the biggest selling point behind email marketing – and that’s one of the leading reasons businesses are always searching out tips for building an email list.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at the most effective ways you can build an email list – and fast.
At times, email marketing is like negotiating with a toddler. To capture prospects’ attention, you have to give up something your business values in order to get information the prospect values – their contact information.
With eCommerce, sign-up incentives almost always offer an immediate discount on certain items, or the promise of future discounts and access to member-only sales. As with most aspects of marketing, though, the creativity of your sign-up incentives directly correlate to an increase in sign-ups.
Plenty of companies provide free industry resources – like whitepapers and eBooks – but few give away physical items just for signing up for an email list. Pens, koozies, calendars, and even notepads are great incentives to offer that deliver an almost-immediate benefit after a prospect signs up for your email list. Slap your logo and website on the physical items, eat the few dollars in shipping, and wait for that 4,300% ROI to kick in.
Popups were considered taboo not too long ago, but they’re becoming more and more effective in building an email list. This is largely due to the fact that popups usually contain relevant information, as opposed to whatever ad is scheduled to run next on your site.
Best practices also dictate that you don’t populate every page of your site with popups, either. Homepages, select landing pages, your blog, and a reminder if users abandon their cart are generally all the popups you’ll need – or want.
2% of your users should sign up for your email list. If your popups decrease that number, continue tweaking them until you get it right.
A good linking strategy obviously includes outbound links to industry leaders – but that’s balanced by links to your own content as well. You are the expert on your given products and services, to it’s not arrogant to link to content that proves a point you’re trying to make.
These internal links are integral to good SEO, but they’re also hugely helpful in directing people to specific email subscription sign-up forms. Users shouldn’t stumble across sign-up opportunities. They should naturally arrive at them as they peruse your site.
Keep sign-up forms on your homepage, blogroll, and your contact page at a bare minimum. Place them elsewhere as you see fit – but always have them on landing pages.
Your social media profiles need to contain sign-up CTAs and/or incentives. On Facebook, it’s as simple as adding a CTA at the top of your company’s page. You’ll need to update it regularly to keep the offer fresh and enticing, but that’s a must if you really want to see your list grow.
Then there’s Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram. Each platform has its unique strengths, and you can use posts on each to promote platform-specific messaging that encourages users to sign up for your emails.
YouTube is another platform that gets overlooked yet remains effective. A simple CTA in your videos – and the video description and channel page – works wonders to direct traffic from YouTube to your website.
Connecting with prospects in-person may be the most underrated yet wickedly successful ways to build a loyal, engaged audience. The human connection is the driving force that keeps tradeshows thriving.
If you attend tradeshows regularly and you’re not collecting email addresses for those who visit the booth, you’re missing out on people who are a) already interested in your product, b) can put a face to the name of your company, and c) will feel a sense of connection to your company after meeting you in person.
Additionally, for retailers with a brick-and-mortar location in addition to an online presence, you can collect email addresses at checkout. You’ll want to make sure you segment these subscribers from others, though; in-store and online shoppers tend to have different behaviors and respond differently to advertising.
You also don’t want to send an in-store-only sale announcement to your online shoppers, and vice versa.
Your work to grow email lists never ends. You have to continue to grow the list, discover innovative ways to connect with your audience, and keep offers and content fresh and engaging. As long as you work on those key aspects of email marketing, the list you build will be insanely profitable. | 2019-04-21T04:40:23 | https://www.stryde.com/build-insanely-profitable-email-list/ |
My goal is to have a coherent, stable base system that is roughly equivalent to the 10.2 release with patches. The ideal ports system would be a well tested recent version.
Any suggestions, explanations, or references? | 2019-04-24T18:06:03 | http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?s=44b46298f8166867f0efeb5127a05f68&p=56293 |
How I Write a Book!
First of all, I get an idea. If it’s for the next book in the series, I might read back through the others to get into the world of the characters, and see where it feels like they want to go next. Or if it’s for a new series, I do a lot of daydreaming about what I might want to write (if you see me in a cafe staring into space, that might be what I’m up to!). Then I do lots of reading (even more than usual!), and checking out the shelves at libraries and bookshops to make sure there’s nothing too similar already out there.
Then I write loads of scribbly notes, and build them up into synopses, then chapter plans and finally the first draft of the book (yippee!). Mostly this happens at my desk (which is where I am now, writing to you) or on my bed or sprawled on the sofa or at the kitchen table next to my daughter Holly’s art session (in which case the notes will be covered in glitter!).
However, sometimes while writing a book, I am allowed to go OUT and see another PERSON (I mean, one who is older than 3!). This could be to meet up with one of my editors or my agent, to talk about a synopsis, or an edit of a draft I’ve given in. I know people say there’s no such thing as a free lunch, but when you’re a writer there sometimes actually is (or brunch, or tea and cakes…). Last week I was out with my editor Katie from Stripes, to talk about the next book in a new series that we’re working on.
Finally, I go back to my desk, work on my draft until I’m fairly happy with it, then print it off and read through it tons of times, making even more changes and corrections. And then… the dreaded day comes… and it’s time to hand it over to my editor – well, attach it to an e-mail and click ‘send’, anyway. Chuck in a few (dozen!) Curly Wurlys, a couple of late nights, some trying on of clothes and shoes I think my characters would like in Top Shop (weird but helpful!) and some checking out locations where they might hang out, and that’s pretty much how I write a book.
Now, come on all you budding writers out there – how do you write yours? Do you have any strange or special things that help you?
Previous post ← Welcome to new bloggers!
Thanks for posting this, it was interesting to read about how you write a book!
Hi Kelly =D Nice to see the real you.
Now, i’m abit strange how i write a story, i first daydream up the plot, then sit down and write it and somehow it unravels itself into a story. I HAVE to have a song to match the story or i carn’t write that story.
I’ve always wrote like this, not sure why but i love it beacuse, when you just sit down with a blank Doc and your head, Wonderful things tend to happen! I don’t know anything but the first name of the characters, the TINY part of the plot and the song i want to listen to when i’m writing.
I’m new to GHB but I found it really interesting to hear how you write. I have to be a lot more methodical than you or I don’t actually get anything done! I write quite a full chapter breakdown before I set-off and once I start writing I tend to stick to it. I do go off-piste if I need to, but not all that much. I really admire the writers who can just sit down at a laptop or pad of paper each day without a plan and still know where they are going with the story, don’t you? Anyway, that’s me for today!
The best way I find to write a book is to just start as soon as I get the idea and think it up as I go. Usually though I get bored of writing and leave it for a while, but then when I start again everything seems to go better than in the first place!!
I love your idea of checking out places and clothes that you’re characters would like – I think I might try that for myself!
But sometimes I have a small teddy bear to keep me compnay when writing!
Your ideas on how to write a book are really interesting!
When I get an idea, I normally act out the rest of the story idea, and then write it down. It helps when you act it out because you know all your characters feelings and each point and what they’d do about it.
I tend to get an idea and then just sit at my laptop and type, letting the story unfold as I go. I have written one complete book that way and two that I am part way through.
i like to have music on in the background when i write, but very low and soft.
After years of writing poetry and short stories, I have decided to start on my first novel. I have been so intimidated by the idea of it that I’ve stalled completely. I adapted a short story that I wrote a few months ago into the opening of my novel and that was great but once I finished that…I wasn’t feeling it anymore. Now I’m at the point where I have thrown out that concept and I’m brain-storming new concepts.
I guess what I’m saying is that I haven’t found my technique yet. I worry so much about planning too much or not planning enough. What you mentioned about chapter plans sounds great and I think that It would help me to have an idea beforehand of what I want each chapter to include.
I think that these set backs and these things that I worry about are all just things that I am producing in my mind because I am intimidated and self-conscious. Do you ever feel that way about writing?
Hi, when I write I go to my room and take out one of my stories and write. I do this for about an hour a day, then I read it and check it again and change things that need to be change. Then I put all the stories together and send it off. The book publisher read it and say yes they would publish it. Now I’m on to my next book.
I HAVE to, and I mean HAVE to do all my daydreamy, scribbly, ideas stuff in one notebook. This notebook was given to me by my Grandpa, a few months before he died. It isnt the most beautiful notebook, but it is really special to me and I love it! | 2019-04-20T00:49:33 | https://girlsheartbooks.com/2012/02/09/how-i-write-a-book/ |
