We are very excited to announce for the 4th consecutive year that MAS Charter School has earned an “A” grade! Only 12.9% of ALL New Mexico schools earned an “A” rating and we are elated to continue to be in this group of exemplary schools! We are so proud of our students’ performance!
Filling my glass of water, I pick up the daily newspaper from my front porch. Groggily my eyes focus on the newspaper. Its 5 AM and I feel like I've been hit by a train. My head is spinning and I can't seem to focus. Seems like all that thrilling late night Netflix binge watching idea had backfired. I couldn't even see that well yet, but I could see well enough to see my name printed at the very top of the crime log. The water that was once in my mouth flew out and onto the newspaper. I was in utter shock/disbelief. My eyes widened and I was no longer tired. I quickly skimmed the log. How could a spy like me get on the front cover of the crime log? And why would I murder and blow up a billion dollar company's headquarters? Millions of questions filled my head. I swear, I never murdered anyone. I must have been framed. This is not good! So long for keeping my identity a secret. The authorities would've found me by now, where are they!?! Speaking of the authorities, why hasn't the US Government sent an extraction team yet. After all, I am a very highly ranked spy. At this point, I don't even care that I busted my cover or that I could loose my job - all that is important now is escaping this wretched place. Thankfully, I had sniper training and was taught how to get out of situations like these. I quickly pack up my important belongings - which currently is, everything I own. The next step to escaping, according to the US Gov Handbook is to disguise yourself, which I always have done. And finally the last step to escaping is : exit the building which I was about to do when I heard and knock on the door and voices saying, "POLICE!, Open up!, You're under arrest!"\nPlan B: "Hold on I'm getting dressed", I said. Quiet as a mouse, I promptly opened the window and initiated my cowboy abilities. As the police threatened to break open the door, I lassoed one end of the rope to one of the couches' legs and the other end to the parking lot light closest to my car and pulled out my zip-line handle. Being on the twelfth floor in the hotel, hardly anyone noticed me - a spy disguised as a hiker zip-lining across the parking lot with what looked like a hiking bag. Normally, police would be on my tail by now, or someone would've seen me, but they weren't. Note to Self: Police service in New Mexico is really faulty. From what I had heard, there were only 3 officers at the door. Once at my car I revved up my engine and got ready to go when 3 police cars came into the parking lot.

If Peter Clark’s report on Winter Institute was any indication, the bookselling community is hardly feeling complacent in the face of the drastically shifting American political landscape.\nThe same thing can certainly be said of the larger literary community, many of whom will be descending upon—of all places—Washington, DC for the annual Association of Writers & Writing Programs (AWP) conference this week. On Thursday, around 12,000 writers, college and university creative writing programs, literary journals, and independent publishers will gather for three days of presentations, reading, panels, lectures — and political demonstrations.\nA large number of attendees are planning to take a break from literary activities to protest Trump’s agenda while they’re in the capitol. As Flavorwire’s Sarah Seltzer reported last week, over 1,000 people have signed up on Facebook to attend the Writers Resist Trump demonstration on Capitol Hill on Friday. Meanwhile, on Saturday, almost 800 people will be gathering outside the White House for a Candlelight Vigil for Free Speech, organized with the support of the writing programs at Kansas State University, the University of Colorado, and the University of Miami, among many others.
tasty_weed brought up an interesting point in his book recommendations under his bio - the difference between what a church's doctrine is and what the masses believe. A friend of mine engaged in diaglog and bible study for several years studying the teachings of our churches (him catholic and me evangelical) - it was awesome. We both learned so much - and both admitted to having great misconceptions based on sources that turned out to not know the doctrine of the church they professed.\nAccording to Catholic doctrine - How is one saved? Or is that even the right questions to ask?\nRealize you are a sinner and not up to God's standard.\nThe tricky part for me is in what comes next. I beleive a true, saving faith will motivate one (as a result of the Holy Spirit's influence) to start living for Christ. What does that say for those who "accept" Christ, but thier lifes don't change? Have they really been saved, or are they just ignoring the proddings of the spirt and living thier own lives.\nJohn-Boy wrote: According to Catholic doctrine - How is one saved? Or is that even the right questions to ask?\nFrom one protestant to another, yes, "how is one saved?" is the right question to ask, but to ask a Catholic that question might furrow their brow, even though, by the things they said to attempt an answer, we would agree that they were saved. Christ is the absolute center of their worship. Catholics are born in original sin. Catholics are subsequently cleansed of all sin through baptism. Babies are cleansed of original sin. Adults are cleansed of both original sin and actual sin up to that point. Hence, baptism is necessary for salvation. It is worth noting that original sin is conceived of as something different than in protestant circles, which is too much to go into here, but suffice to say that, for Catholics, to be cleansed of original sin does not mean we are in a state similar to that of Adam and Eve pre-fall. Even though they are cleansed, their appetites remain out of order (concupiscence). As such, humans are still inclined towards sin, though not enslaved to it as Protestants (or at least Calvinists) say. Catholics say that free will remains, though it is weakened.\nSin, in Catholic circles, is broken down into venial and mortal sin. The basic difference is that mortal sin is freely-consented deliberate sin (i.e., if it's sinful and you didn't know it, you only committed a venial sin). Mortal sin committed after baptism separates man from God again, and must be confessed to God through the sacrament of penance (i.e., confession. It is worth noting that Catholic teaching is that one must truly have a penitent heart; not just that going to confession cleanses you whether you are sorry or not). Venial sins incurred after baptism impede our progress to the Kingdom, but do not prevent it. As such, confession is not required for these sins, although it is encouraged. Those who die without mortal sin not having been forgiven them are condemned to hell. Those who have been baptized and die in venial sin (all or most of us) go to purgatory, where they are cleansed once and for all before they see the Beatific Vision (i.e., U***n with God).\nThis is it, in a nutshell. There is not enough room to go into all the arguments for these various doctrines here. As is evident though, the main difference lies in the mechanical nature of Catholic piety vs. the "spiritual" nature of Protestant worship. I confess, though, that it is this mechanical-ness that attracts me to Catholicism. After all, we are humans, incarnate beings, not pure spirits. We were made to process the world through flesh and blood. And, I believe, it is this intrinsic human-ness that God has provided for in the Catholic church and other sacramental churches (i.e., the necessity of bread, wine, water, the sounds of forgiveness, the smell of incense...they are the gospel made physical and really present, as opposed to present in our minds only).\nI apologize for the length, but it is a lengthy subject to which I have no doubt done very little justice. One last point, to others who read this and say that all of this invalidates Christ's work for us, is that it is simply not true. Baptism, confession, the Eucharist, purgatory etc are all thought of as Christ's work being made present to us, physically, in the here and now (or in the then and there). In other words, we are not left to merely think about Christ, but he and all that he has done for us, under various forms, is physically brought into our presence.\nThanks for the explanation - so I guess the need to ask forgiveness after committing a mortal sin is what would lead to not believing in eternal security?\nWhere do the rest of you fall out on that? Once saved always saved?\nI do belive in "once saved always saved", but the issue is back to the deffinition of "saved". I would say that someone who appears to be leading a godly life and then backslides and rejects God was never REALLY saved. He may have gone through the motions, and had an intellectual UNDERSTANDING of Jesus, but never took the step of turning over his life and taking Jesus into his heart.\nNot to start any flame wars, but there are some major points of that Catholic doctrine you stated that I have some pretty big problems with.\nJohn-Boy wrote: Thanks for the explanation - so I guess the need to ask forgiveness after committing a mortal sin is what would lead to not believing in eternal security?\nThat is correct. As for "once saved always saved" (OSAS), I don't buy it. As far as I can tell, one must be a Calvinist to believe that. In my opinion, OSAS is the logical conclusion of a system that believes that God has eternally decreed individual's salvation, and consequently, other's perdition. And I believe that all humans have a shot at salvation, not just the elect. If our salvation is not eternally decreed, and we actually have free will, then we must have the free will to reconsider our allegiance to Christ. Otherwise, it's not really free.\nI used to be Calvinist and really enjoyed the security of it, though.\nsguthrie wrote: I do belive in "once saved always saved", but the issue is back to the deffinition of "saved".

I am not Catholic. Assuming your issues are with the doctrine and not with my no-doubt flawed explanation of it, I used to have the same issues you no doubt have. But recently, for me, the tide has been turning the other way.\nAs for your questioning as to whether someone is really saved, I don't see much of a practical and ultimate difference between someone who everyone thought was saved but REALLY wasn't, and someone who was and now isn't. They are both ways of explaining the same phenomenon, i.e., of people who once professed and acted in a certain way, and now don't. You explain it your way because you a priori believe in security, and I explain it my way because I a priori believe in free will. Under both explanations, the person, as it stands now, is doomed to perdition. To speak of "if's" (i.e., what if he had died then?) is to speak of a universe that has never existed.\nI re-emphasize the in all of this.\nOkay you free willers ( ) - how does God determine if He's going to let you in the club? Sounds like it's your relationship with Him at the time of death?\nJohn-Boy wrote: Okay you free willers ( ) - how does God determine if He's going to let you in the club? Sounds like it's your relationship with Him at the time of death?\nIt's God's decision based on his wisdom, justice and mercy, and His take on the sum total of my life's faith and work. The ball is entirely in the court of his mercy and justice, and I try not to make predictive statements about the outcome. In the meantime, I try to do my best to "work out my salvation with fear and trembling" in cooperation with the grace He so lavishly pours out on us.\ntasty_weed wrote: That is correct.

The point being is that once I TRUELY HAVE accepted him, there is no way in the world I would ever give it up because we've experience the joys and benefits.\ntasty_weed wrote: It's God's decision based on his wisdom, justice and mercy, and His take on the sum total of my life's faith and work.\nOh boy, this is gonna be a fun group - I don't agree with that either. I don't think that our lifes work determines AT ALL whether we get into the club. I think if you sincerely accept Christ you're in, even if you NEVER live the life he wants you to lead. I also think there are varing degrees of reward in Heaven (and punishment in Hell) - I works will determine exactly HOW good or bad it is, but that one decision will affect IF it's good or bad.\nIf I may jump in, I would like to throw my hat in the ring as one who believes whole-heartedly in eternal security.\nTo say that one can lose his salvation is to say that some behavior is necessary to be qualified for it, whether this qualification comes before or after salvation. As soon as we say that, we have thrown grace out the window. I do not now, nor have I ever, deserved my savation. Salvation is by faith alone, and no action or behavior adds or subtracts from that.\nWhile eternal security can perhaps be easier for a Calvinist because of election, I would argue that most Calvisnists don't have eternal security either! A Calvinist can get stuck in the question, "Am I really elect?" This stems from the expectation that a believer will necessarily persevere in good works. As soon as a Calvinist sins, or sins "too much", the necessary question of "true" belief flares up. Imagine the torture of this situation. Since there appears to be evidence of non-election, this person is in a bad situation. If they are not elect, there is nothing they can do about it!\nContinuing with the thought that a saved individual must of necessity show his salvation in his works is to mix salvation with discipleship. As each of us that is a believer knows, following God and avoiding sin is not something we perfect here on Earth. It is a conscious, day-by-day day decision to set aside our flesh, and choose to follow Him by faith. Some will follow the urging of the Holy Spirit and make that choice, and, as we have all done before, some will ignore the Spirit and not follow. Just because we don't follow for an hour or a day or a year or ten years does not change God's redemption of us by grace through faith in Christ.\nSalvation is a gift. By definition then, it is not then a reward or a wage. We cannot earn it. By salvation, what I mean is deliverence, after physical death, from eternal torment into eternally abiding in the presence of the loving triune God of the universe. This is eternal life. If, at the point of salvation, we have eternal life, then we cannot lose it, by its very definition. Elsewise what we received was not eternal.\nI'd better stop before this turns into a full-blown paper! This sure is fun. I hope that I was able to write such that those that disagree with me are not offended. I offer my thoughts in the spirit of friendly and open discussion on this all important topic.\nsguthrie wrote: I don't see that at all. I have free will whether to accept Christ or not. The point being is that once I TRUELY HAVE accepted him, there is no way in the world I would ever give it up because we've experience the joys and benefits.\nYou are defining "truly accepting" as one who perseveres to the end. That is your right, and many others do likewise. But it strikes me as being a fairly arbitrary definition. I define it as one who believes Jesus Christ is Lord and confesses it through his actions. And there are such people who eventually deny him as said Lord, for whatever of a variety of reasons.\nSt. James, paraphrasing, states that "sincerely accepting Christ, even if you NEVER lead the life he wants you to lead" is a contradiction in terms. Faith without works is dead (useless) faith. I agree with what you said otherwise. I didn't say that "our life's work determines whether we get into the club". I said our life's faith and work. I say again, faith without works is DEAD. Works without faith is humanism. Separating the two seems useless to me. Works demonstrate faith. Faith motivates work. I agree that "levels" of heaven exist, correlating to our works. But surely Scripture teaches that no works = no faith = no club. I don't see how works can be removed from the equation. Few works = small faith = mustard seed = club. Great works = great faith = club. It may not be this linear in reality, but again, I can't see how works can removed.\nGoing back to the question of OSAS, this is precisely one reason why I don't believe it. Among other things, it leads to apathy. I think that someone who claims saving faith in Jesus Christ ought to feel a little uncomfortable at the lick of the flames at their feet when they "never" listen to him about the life he wants them to lead. Don't misunderstand me, I would never condemn someone proclaiming to be a Christian for sinful patterns in their life. We are still this side of Heaven, after all. And to quote myself here , sanctification is the result of a lifetime. For me to pass judgment at one timepoint along the way would be a little presumptuous.\nTyler wrote: To say that one can lose his salvation is to say that some behavior is necessary to be qualified for it, whether this qualification comes before or after salvation.

Salvation is by faith alone, and no action or behavior adds or subtracts from that.\nI am affraid I am going to have to stop robbing my employer and desist with this thread for while. And I am also affraid that we are about to hit that point where these conversations usually become futile. You obviously believe what you believe, and you have stated it very clearly. I believe what I believe, and have probably stated it less than clearly.\nLet me assure you, though, that I do not believe that salvation can be earned. Should that be the case, I would be in a lot of hot water. Neverthess, as I have pointed out elsewhere, I don't think scripture warrants the separation of faith and works. Making reference to your post, it's not that I think that my works would somehow all of a sudden disqualify me from membership, when they had previously qualified me. It is more related to disqualification through loss of faith. How is that loss of faith demonstrated? Through a drastic change in our priorities, as evidenced through works. You see, I am only saying what St. James says, that there is an intimate and unbreakable connection between faith and works. To lack one is to lack the other. And, as St. James, in his epistle, never condemns his readers to hell, I don't. I don't know the future. I barely know the present. What I do, with St. James, is warn people that they had better tend to their faith, and thereby bear fruit in keeping with repentance (works). To say that salvation is by faith alone is to deny the organic unity of faith and works. Is salvation a free gift? Absolutely! Do we, as human beings, have to accept that gift through repentance? Absolutely! Do people who have professed faith in Christ and have previously evidenced good works, but who subsequently choose to live in state of "blatant unrepentant sin" (which is to say, unrepentant sin) thereby demonstrate that they have lost their faith in Christ? I think, "yes". Another eloquent gentleman I was speaking with earlier thought, "no", because he thinks they had never been saved in the first place. I confess to not being privy to that information.\nI'm in way over my head here, but here's my understanding.\nI realize there is a ton in James about faith being dead without works, and a lot more than these from Paul about faith, so I won't quote them all here.\nWe are saved not by any action we could possibly commit, but by the action of Jesus on the cross. Yes, faith without works is dead, but what does dead faith mean? What are the works? I have never seen that clearly laid out in scripture. I am imperfect, how can any work I do have any impact on what Christ has done for me? I think that's putting myself on His level, which I am NOT prepared, nor willing to do.\nI will admit that I am immature in these issues, I want to learn. I know this issue has been debated by those far wiser than us. I do enjoy discussing with y'all though. Please take no offense from my simplistic thinking.\ntasty_weed wrote: St. James, paraphrasing, states that "sincerely accepting Christ, even if you NEVER lead the life he wants you to lead" is a contradiction in terms.

It may not be this linear in reality, but again, I can't see how works can removed.\nI agree that true faith will motivate works, but I also think that it's a cycle that feeds on it's self: you get saved, you get the "tickle" from the holy spirt to do works, that feels good, you get a "tickle" to do bigger and more sacrifical works, and so on. I think it's entriely possible to be saved, but ignore the "tickle" - maybe it's because you don't feel you're good enoug to do what God is asking, or your scared, or whatever. I'm not saying there would be NO works, but you would never come close to living the life Christ wants.\nWhen I talk about "truly saved", I am talking about those who have sincerely taken Christ into thier lives and try to have a relationship with him. This is opposed to people who go to church, KNOW who Christ is, and does the works (maybe even a lot more than a lot of Christians) because it makes him feel good or it's what he "supposed" to do. These people would probably say they are saved, and probably even believe it, but have no relationship with Christ. From the outside looking in, you would never tell (Judas is a perfect example from the Bible).\nsguthrie wrote: When I talk about "truly saved", I am talking about those who have sincerely taken Christ into thier lives and try to have a relationship with him.

What am I missing? What other litmus test exists? Isn't that the gospel? Believe who he is and repent (Judas didn't repent). Believing and repenting IS what we are supposed to do, and it will feel good.\nSatan and the deamons KNOW who Jesus is. It's more than just a head-knowledge. I believe it's the act of giving your life over to him.\nIt's a poor analogy, but I've heard people use a chair as an example. You may believe that chair is that, that it will hold your weight, and it will be comfortable. But until you act on it by sitting in the chair, you're still standing there. If you believe Jesus is who is said he is, but never take the act of giving yourself to him, then I believe you're missing a vital step.\nUh-oh - "Act on it?" Now you're talking about works too!!\nThis is a fun little debate. Thanks to all who are participating.\nLet me address briefly the James 2 passage and point out that if that passage is talking about eternal life when it talks about being "saved" then James could have chosen a better example. Why would James use as his example demons, who have NO chance of eternal life even if they combine works with their belief?\nLet me agree that when it comes to growing one's faith, works are critical. That is James's point. However, all faith is NOT related to salvation. Faith is necessary for a walk with God on a day-to-day basis, and this should be a growing situation (ref. James 1:3-4).\nTo say that salvation is by faith alone is to deny the organic unity of faith and works.\nI must again disagree. (Eph. 2:8-9 for starters) Salvation happens in a moment, at the instant of belief. No works are involved, it is a gift, and it cannot be revoked. Works are not an issue until AFTER salvation, at which point works and faith are team in the process of sanctification.\nBelieve who he is and repent (Judas didn't repent).\nThe implication of this statement is that Judas believed who Christ was but didn't repent and therefore wasn't saved. Please point me to scriptures which indicate this.\nSt. James, paraphrasing, states that "sincerely accepting Christ, even if you NEVER lead the life he wants you to lead" is a contradiction in terms.\nI would take issue with the paraphrasing. (surprise! surprise! ) Rom 7 is a pretty clear situation that even Paul didn't lead the life he (and by implication Christ) wanted him to lead.\nGoing back to the question of OSAS, this is precisely one reason why I don't believe it. Among other things, it leads to apathy. I think that someone who claims saving faith in Jesus Christ ought to feel a little uncomfortable at the lick of the flames at their feet when they "never" listen to him about the life he wants them to lead.\nThis is a common criticism of eternal security, but it is not actually Biblically based. It is an appeal to people's motives for good works, and is claiming that without the threat of eternal damnation people will not behave themselves. This is not a proof.\nHaving said that, I do not for a second believe that eternal security removes one's accountability. It removes the threat of eternal torment, and praise God for that freedom!, but it does NOT remove accountability. II Cor. 5:9-10 declares that believers will stand before Christ to be judge for things done in the body both good and bad. It would be a long explanation (that I will gladly go into if requested to do so), but I believe that after our physical death there are plenty of opportunities for both reward and punishment for our life lived here on earth that do NOT involve eternal torment and that are temporary in nature.\nMy apologies for jumping around so much. I fear that when I go to read what I have just written it will be a garbled mess. I hope not. I hope what I have said is clear.\nAgain, thanks for the discussion guys. I really enjoy theological debates.\nThis has become quite the little discussion! I've enjoyed reading everyone's comments and digesting a little. I have a few thoughts to add, if i may.\nTyler, i'm not sure i'm in agreement with some of your statements. let me see if i'm understanding you correctly. When i read the james 2 passage, i don't believe that James is saying "when it comes to growing one's faith, works are critical. That is James's point." James specifically states that "a person is justified by what he does, and not by faith alone." Lest i be criticized for taking this out of context, let's look at the whole passage. James is saying that faith and deeds are interwoven, linked beyond separation. Read verse 14...that verse taken in context looks fairly harshly on faith without works. I believe, lest i sound heretical, in saving grace and that faith is what is required for salvation. What i don't believe is that faith and works can be separated, as shown by james' language in chapter two...he says that one without the other is as a body without a soul. DEAD! That he used demons was not a proof that he was not talking about salvation, it was simply a juxtaposition for the purpose of contrast and comparison. I must also say that i do not believe that we are in perpetual doubt of our salvation...we hear in Paul that it is by Grace we are saved, through faith, and not by works (alone) so that no one can boast...leading me to believe that with faith (which is only considered alive when accompanied by the works which are faith's natural outpouring) is what will bring salvation by God's grace. That i don't believe in eternal security shouldn't even enter the debate about faith and works.
A ginger-root-shaped asteroid named Toutatis, which poses a potential threat to Earth, might have formed from the merger of two smaller asteroids.\nA ginger-root-shaped asteroid named Toutatis, which poses a potential threat to Earth, might have formed from the merger of two smaller asteroids, say researchers from China and the United States.\nThe space rock, about 4,750 meters long and 1,950m wide — bigger than a city block — is one of the largest “potentially hazardous asteroids,” said Ji Jianghui, a researcher at the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.\nFirst spotted in 1934, then lost from sight, and rediscovered in 1989 by a French astronomer, the asteroid was named after a Celtic god, Toutatis.\n“This asteroid comes from the main asteroid belt, where it was affected by the gravitational perturbations of Jupiter,” said Ji.\nBefore 2012, the asteroid was in an orbit that brought it close to Earth every four years. As a result, it has been closely followed by telescopes and radar. But its orbit changed after 2012 due to the gravity of Jupiter and other planets.\nIt’s estimated that it will pass Earth again in 2069. After successfully completing its mission to explore the Moon, China’s second lunar probe, Chang’e-2, which blasted off on October 1, 2010, rendezvoused with Toutatis on December 13, 2012.\nIt was the world’s first close fly-by observation of Toutatis. The probe took high-resolution images providing a number of discoveries. The images allowed researchers to observe the topographical features of the asteroid, showing it has two lobes, including a small “head” and a large “body.” The strange shape has bewildered scientists for a long time.\nAfter many simulations, the research team thought there might be originally one primary asteroid and a smaller one, forming a system like the Earth and Moon.\nOnce they came very close to Earth, the gravity affected the orbit of the primary asteroid and its little moon, causing them to collide at a low speed and merge into the current structure, Ji said.\nThe new study was published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.\nJi and his collaborators have also studied how Toutatis rotates in space and revealed its geological features, showing it was essentially rubble and that the impact craters on its surface could be 1.6 billion years old.\nAlthough Toutatis seemed to have a loose structure, Ji said, it was unlikely to fall apart, even when pulled by the gravity of nearby planets, due to its slow rotation. Now scientists believe the threat from Toutatis is very low, but many other asteroids, whose orbits are unknown, might cross paths with Earth.\nThe study of the formation of such asteroids will improve understanding of the evolution of near-Earth binary asteroids, and is essential for deciding how to protect Earth against their impact. China is the fourth space power to directly explore an asteroid, after the US, Europe and Japan.

Seaspray is located on the Ninety Mile Beach, Gippsland at the mouth of Merriman Creek, about 32 km south of Sale and 245 km east of Melbourne.\nThe flat coastal plain was taken up by P.C. Buckley as the Coadyvale pastoral run in 1848. The homestead, named Prospect, overlooked the present town site. By the 1860s Sale residents were visiting the area, camping on the foreshore at the creek mouth and fishing on the beach and in the creek. The locality became known as Buckley’s Beach.\nIn the late 1870s the area was under threat of selection. Through public interest, a reserve of 51 acres was set aside, to be known as Ninety Mile Beach Reserve. This was soon increased to 225 acres and was commonly known as Prospect Reserve. Trustees were appointed and funds raised to fence the whole reserve. During the summer camps were set up on the foreshore or huts built in the scrub, with swimming, fishing and shooting the main pastimes. In the late 1890s dunes were built and planted with marram grass to halt drifting sand. Holiday makers travelled from Sale by buggy and bullock wagon, the road gradually being improved by working bees organised by James McLachlan, Member of Parliament for Sale. He was keen to foster the growth of the reserve and organised several cycle races from Sale to publicise the resort.\nFrom 1900 some permanent buildings were constructed at the reserve. A hall was built in 1904 and by 1915, there were 34 houses, with a store operating from one house. In 1915, the growing settlement was renamed Seaspray, the only suggestion put forward. A school had operated in the hall during the summer months for some years, but in 1916 Prospect School was established near the reserve. It closed again in 1921 due to decreasing enrolments.\nAfter World War I the surrounding property was divided into soldier settlement farms. Cropping and dairying were the main activities. Calves and pigs were raised, and cream was sent to Sale Butter Factory. By 1927, a school was again necessary. The previous building was relocated to the township and renamed Prospect Estate. It was 1975 before it was officially named Seaspray.\nThe town was predominantly a holiday resort, but from the mid-1960s, there was a significant increase in the number of permanent residents. Many of these newcomers were workers in the oil industry based at Sale. Growth slowed by the 1980s because of a shortage of building blocks.\nSeaspray has suffered at least a dozen significant floods since 1916, the largest being in 1952 and 1978. Merriman Creek breaks out over the low lying land on which Seaspray is situated and sometimes this is compounded by tidal flooding. After the last severe flood the problem was studied and a number of flood mitigation measures implemented.\nDuring holiday season the population is swelled by thousands of visitors, staying in holiday homes or in the foreshore caravan park. A surf life saving club, formed in 1955, patrols the beach during the summer. There are two stores and a new hall. Despite these influxes, Seaspray retains a low key, non-commercial atmosphere. An annual Country Fair festival is held on Australia Day weekend. A relocated caravan park site was opened in 2013 when it had to be moved from its site against the dunes of the Ninety Mile Beach to protect against coastal erosion.\nEnvironmental concerns were raised in 2014 when Lock the Gate Victoria and other environmental groups rallied to protest the proposal by Lakes Oil to drill for gas at Seaspray. Although the gas was offshore they planned to drill onshore to access it.\nSeaspray primary school had 19 pupils in 2014.

My personal history includes forty years working as a machinist, Engineering Laboratory Technician, Inertial Navigation Instrument Engineer, and Engineering Laboratory Manager. These experiences left me with a broad knowledge of then modern engineering drawing practice. However, nothing within this history prepared me for what I discovered about old railroad drawings subsequent to joining the UPHS drawing scanning group. As my scanning time increased, I began to realize the drawings were very diverse in layout, lettering style, title blocks, presentation of notes and other necessary information, dates, revisions, etc., etc. I also began to realize this diversity had a certain kind of internal structure that seemed to be related to the various railroads that produced the drawings. It dawned on me the greater diversity was between groupings by railroad and less so within each group. Different railroads had different styles even though these railroads were tied closely to the Union Pacific R.R.. I have included a gallery of drawing “title blocks” which will serve to illustrate one part of the diversity of these drawings.\nThe gallery can be opened by clicking on any of the small images below. The year the drawing was issued can be found at the lower left corner of each gallery image. The drawings range from 1882 through 1952. Notice the vast difference between the 1882 and 1952 drawings. Take your time and look carefully at each drawing’s title block and you may get hooked on history – as I am.\nPosted on June 28, 2012, in ART AND CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE DRAFTSMAN and tagged ART AND CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE DRAFTSMAN, UNUSUAL DRAWINGS IN THE UPRR DRAWING COLLECTION.

Despite some uncertainty around U.S. government policy and the failure of drone maker Lily Robotics, robotics funding continued to grow in the first quarter of 2017, especially around self-driving cars and AI.\nIn the first quarter of 2017, robotics funding kept flowing to autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, and the chips that power them all. However, drone maker Lily Robotics’ struggles and geopolitical uncertainty cast a shadow over the still-growing robotics industry.\nDespite that economic uncertainty, the U.S. government is moving ahead with robotics funding. In January, the U.S. Department of Defense awarded $80 million to American Robotics, a nonprofit founded by Carnegie Mellon University.\nCarnegie Mellon University is a major partner in the Advanced Robot Manufacturing Group.\nThat grant joins $173 million from other organizations for the Advanced Robot Manufacturing Group. It will support research toward improving automation in the aerospace, automotive, composites, electronics, logistics, and textiles industries.\nThe consortium will be based in Pittsburgh, but millions of dollars will be spread to other high-tech centers such as California and Massachusetts.\nIn the U.K., vacuum cleaner magnate Sir James Dyson invested $2.5 billion in R&D facilities for AI, robotics, energy storage, and vision systems at a former Royal Air Force Base.\nOther than iRobot, there are few household names in robotics, but that could soon change, thanks to service robots such as SoftBank’s humanoid Pepper.\nApple Inc. pledged $1 billion to SoftBank Group Corp.’s Vision Fund, which has the bold goal of helping SoftBank become “the world’s No. 1 robotics company.” Qualcomm, Foxconn, and Oracle have reportedly pledged $1 billion each, and Saudi Arabia has said it will contribute $45 billion.\nIn February, Lux Capital closed its fifth startup fund at $400 million. That fund has invested in startups in 3D printing and autonomous ground and marine vehicles.\nContinuing a trend we observed last year, chipmakers continued to show interest in self-driving cars and artificial intelligence as the next big users of their technology.\nFor instance, chipmaker Intel Corp. spent $15.3 billion on Mobileye NV, a major supplier of machine-vision technology for driver-assist features.\nIntel is also spent $100 million on the Responsive Retail Platform, which plans to apply Internet of Things capabilities to improve the shopper experience.\nAlso, Belgian-German chipmaker X-Fab Silicon Foundries SE announced an initial public offering of $350 million. Its chips are intended for sensors to assist smartphone users and motorists.\nRolls-Royce is working on autonomous ships.\nToyota Industries Corp. paid $260 million for systems integrator Bastian Solutions LLC and established its Toyota Advanced Logistics Solutions unit.\nIn another internal development, Siemens plans to spend $22 million building a workforce training program for Industry 4.0.\nElsewhere in robotics funding, Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC got $243 million from Tekes, the Finnish Funding Agency, for research into autonomous marine vessels.\nHow Well Did Our 2016 Robots and Markets Predictions Do?\nChinese companies continued offering robotics funding for capabilities to balance its manufacturing market.\nMidea Group Co., which last year bought Germany-based KUKA Group AG, added to its portfolio. It acquired Israel-based Servotronix Motion Control Ltd. for $170 million.\nIn addition, Chinese AI startup CloudMinds Inc. raised $100 million in its Series A round. Investors included SoftBank, and CloudMinds wants to build the cloud-based “brains” for robots.\nNot to be left behind, Ford Motor Co. paid $1 billion for Argo AI. Pittsburgh-based Argo AI is developing systems for Ford and for licensing to other self-driving cars.\nFor more analysis of Q1 of 2017, download our transactions report.

Religion masks our primal need to be safe, comforted, and to live forever, with the promise of the supernatural. However, when you strip away human nature, and the mind’s capacity for imaginative thought and limitless denial, all that is left is the reality that what you’re worshiping only exists inside your mind. Such is the case for prayer.\nPrayer, like the belief in a god or gods, is a cultural and mental phenomenon. Part of my self-deprogramming from my Christian upbringing was to see what would happen if I stopped praying. While it wasn’t scientific, because it was so subjective, it did show me that nothing changes significantly in your life when you do or don’t pray. In fact, the only thing I experienced was a feeling of peace and freedom from the tyranny of having to worship and talk to an imaginary friend.\nThere have been several studies about prayer, most of which have been all over the place. Unsurprisingly, most studies were flawed or unduly influenced in some way. Dr. Herbert Benson, a cardiologist and director of the Mind/Body Medical Institute conducted a meta study on prayer, which concluded that there was no statistical difference between people who prayed, and those that didn’t. In some cases, prayer seemed to cause more harm than good.\nA 1997 study at the University of New Mexico, involving 40 alcoholics in rehabilitation, found that the men and women who knew they were being prayed for actually fared worse.\nThe other interesting thing about prayer is how it affects your decisions. I was reminded of the insidious nature of prayer by a recent post, The Deceit of Prayer. Not only does prayer deliver nothing, it also promotes inaction.\nit traps a person into non action, into a pattern of passive waiting, of believing they are not able to control their lives, of waiting on someone/thing else to solve problems. To the extent that some people are unable to make any decisions without first waiting on god. How many people are trapped in destructive marriages waiting for god to heal their partners, to change their personalities, to make things better. How many wait for years, praying for god to get them the right job, and not taking control and going and doing whatever it takes? How many times have we read about children dying for lack of medical intervention – while parents pray and believe god instead?\nWhile prayer may seem like the healthiest and best thing for a person to do, it may actually be a deterrent towards living a full life – similar to the mental and emotional shackles that religion imposes on its followers.\n"The Ineffectiveness of Prayer" by Jon Henshaw is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
The paper deals with the computing method of step shaft deflection in an intended place by using the diameter reduction method. This method is analytically studied on the selected shaft shape at different variants of diameters and individual span lengths, where values of deflection are compared with computed values without using this reduction. These values were selected as exact, which was verified by numerical computing in PTC Creo Simulate software. The relative percentage errors are graphically interpreted, and the contribution also deals with the creation of limiting conditions for their use. The aim is to point at limiting conditions of using this method, which may not be always met in practice. It also points to possible failures of this method, which is shown in an incorrect dimension of the shaft, influencing the reliability and safety of operation.
For those of you who have subscribed to my updates for humorous rants or my stories about everyday nothingness, I promise I have some good funny blogs coming in the near future. I’ve had other things on my mind lately, and I want to get them out here since writing seems to have become my own way of self medicating through some very difficult times.\nHave you ever noticed after experiencing a life altering change, you suddenly find yourself missing those things in life that just appeared as ingrained rituals, things you did without even thinking about and probably never noticed until they were gone? Suddenly these subtle little events that you had hardly noticed in the past, you suddenly find yourself missing dearly? I recently discovered this with something as simple as a little weekend morning ritual I had grown so used to.\nEvery Saturday I would get breakfast at the same little bagel shop, and get the exact same order. I still have that ordered memorized. An orange smoothie, a chocolate chip bagel toasted with cream cheese and a Taylor’s pork bagel with a coffee.\nOn Sunday, during the winter, it was either a tall peppermint mocha and tall caramel macchiato or a quick trip to 7-11 for a small coffee with extra cream and sugar and a small black coffee.\nI know it doesn’t sound like much, but how I miss those mornings.

Swain, Prasant Kumar (2015) Effect of Displacement Increment on Fracture Toughness (JIc) of HSLA Steel. MTech thesis.\nFracture toughness of low strength tough materials are provided by the J-integral and expresses as JIc. The resistance curve procedure, specified in ASTM E1820, is mostly used to obtain the fracture toughness, since it is a single specimen test, unlike the basic procedure which requires multiple specimens. In this method the specimen undergoes loading, unloading and reloading process repeatedly. The spacing between unload/reload sequence is known as displacement interval or displacement increment. ASTM E1820, specifies the maximum limit of displacement interval/displacement increment between each unload/reload sequence (0.01 times of the remaining ligament). However, it has been observed from experiments that there is variation of JIc values at lower values of displacement interval/displacement increment. Hence in this work the effect of displacement increment on JIc of HSLA (High Strength Low Alloy) steel has been studied through experimental investigations and an attempt has been made to obtain the range of displacement increment where the variation of JIc values is within acceptable limit. Another two parameters which affect the value of fracture toughness is a/W (crack length to specimen thickness) ratio and loading rates/strain rates. It is reported that there is no significant influence of loading rates on fracture toughness. Therefore in this investigation fracture toughness was measured with varying a/W ratio and displacement increment. The tests were carried out with side-grooved full C(T) specimen, following ASTM-E1820. The resistance curve procedure which utilizes unloading compliance (UC) method, is used to evaluate the fracture toughness.

In order to attain a gold competency in the Microsoft Partner Network (MPN), a certain percentage of licenses that channel partners sell would have to include the company's cloud services. The requirement will most likely take effect in the 2014 fiscal year, which kicks off 21 months from Tuesday.\nJon Roskill, Microsoft's corporate vice president of worldwide channels, revealed his thinking on the matter in an interview Monday. "I think that would be a very reasonable thing to spec out to people," Roskill said. "It doesn't mean we don't love you if you're not doing [cloud sales] for some reason, but we also want to be very clear that gold is differentiating our best partners and there's an expectation around that."\nAsked what percentage of overall sales he expects cloud services to represent, Roskill said that is to be determined. "It's too early to say," he said. "We are talking about something that's a year and a half out. What we are going to see is how things develop. It will not be an unreasonable percentage. I'm a pretty reasonable person -- before I make a decision like that, I will do it with a lot of input, particularly from partners."\nMicrosoft has a bevy of cloud-based services with partner programs to support them, including Office 365, Windows Intune, the Azure platform and Dynamics CRM Online. Cloud-based versions of Microsoft's other Dynamics ERP offerings are expected to come online over the next year.\nThe company has also encouraged partners to subscribe to its Cloud Essentials Pack and higher-level Cloud Accelerate Pack, both of which provide internal use rights for Office 365, Windows Intune and CRM Online, and 750 hours of compute time using the Windows Azure platform.\nDirections on Microsoft analyst John Cullen said it is not surprising that Microsoft would ultimately require partners to sell its cloud-based services, considering the company's "all-in" messaging on cloud.\n"My take on it is, the ones that are really going to be successful are going to bite the bullet now, and move to that selling motion of selling online services," Cullen said. "They are adapting to those selling motions early because that's the future."\nIndeed, Microsoft has taken a firm approach with partners serving all segments over the need to be able to sell and deploy cloud-based solutions to customers. One year ago, Vahé Torossian, corporate vice president of Microsoft's Worldwide Small and Midmarket Solutions and Partners (SMS&P) Group, told partners that they were putting their businesses on the line if they ignored the cloud.\n"If you don't do it, you will be irrelevant in the next four or five years," Torossian told partners at an International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners chapter meeting in New York. Torossian, who reports to Microsoft chief operating officer Kevin Turner, is Roskill's boss.

"Bacterial isolates from neutropenic febrile pediatric patients and the" by F N. Bhatti, I A. Burney et al.\nPatients on cytotoxic therapy often develop neutropenia and fever. Our interest was to identify the common pathogens isolated from such patients and to study the sensitivity patterns of these organisms to the antibiotics used in their treatment. Thus, guidelines can be established by hospitals to identify which antibiotics can be used in the treatment of these patients when the results of cultures and sensitivities are not available. We conducted a retrospective study of neutropenic pediatrics presenting to AKUH from July, 1990 to June, 1996. A total of 153 isolates in 35 different patients were studied. Samples for culture were taken from the sites at risk. The majority of samples consisted of blood, stool, pus and urine. Twenty stool samples were also sent for microscopy. Malignancies were both hematological and non-hematological. Gram negatives were isolated in 52.9%, gram positives in 33.9% and parasites in 13.2%. Salmonella paratyphi B was the most commonly isolated organism, followed by Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Giardia lamblia was the most common parasite. Sensitivity patterns of these organisms to antibiotics studied showed that Escheria coli had the lowest sensitivity rate being only 40% sensitive to Aztreonam and 64% sensitive to Ofloxacillin. A comparison was made between our findings and those reported in literature, as well as the risk factors for developing neutropenia. A guide to management is also discussed.\nBhatti, F. N., Burney, I. A., Moid, M. I., Siddiqui, T. (1998). Bacterial isolates from neutropenic febrile pediatric patients and their sensitivity patterns to antibiotics.

Thanks to the Levi's Strauss work , we are able to think more profoundly about the self and the others : he has underline deeply that we have to remember in every anthropological study that others have other way of thinking and of doing. In this essay I will try to show that by reading Levi Strauss I've been conscious that there is different approaches of the world, to classify or to define what is around us. That's why I would like first to make a first study of the distinction made by Levi Strauss between nature and culture. What Levi Strauss shows is that the nature is culturally defined by the human beings. That's gives first a lot of field for anthropological studies and then that is a way to show that those two notions are not just opposite , but they intimately linked to each other. Then, to follow the thinkings on the specific ways of doing and of classify the world according to the different societies, I would like to focus on the notion of myth for Levi Strauss. His study of myths in a structural perspective was a major step , and has been a deep influence for anthropological studies even if it has been also criticized.
Alter the chapter of the Yom Kippour/Ramadan War was closed by the cease-fire on the Golan front, in April 1974, there followed a lengthy lull in the seemingly constant war between Israel and Syria. That was until 1979-1980, when a new series of skirmishes developed, as the SyAAF tried to interfere with frequent Israeli recce and bombing missions against Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) positions in Lebanon. The SyAAF was relatively slow to introduce the MiG-23MS during the fighting over Lebanon, choosing instead to dispatch MiG-21s. However, this changed as their losses started to mount, and soon the Syrian Ground Controlled Interception (GCI was searching for a suitable target for which it could re-introduce the MiG-23MS to combat.\nThe first such event occurred on the afternoon of April 26, 1981, when an Israeli formation bombed the PLO position), in the southern Lebanese city of Sidon. Two MiG-23MSs on low orbit over northern Lebanon, were vectored to intercept, and successfully shot down two Douglas A-4 Skyhawks. As a result of this and several clashes, the situation over Lebanon became particularly tense, but for the time being, the Israelis were busy preparing their operation against the Iraqi nuclear reactor plant in Tuweitha, which were flown in June 1981. The next opportunity for the Syrian MiG-23MS to engage Israeli fighters came after the Israelis invaded southern Lebanon, with Operation PEACE FOR GALILEA, initiated on June 6, 1982.\nInitially, the Israelis tried to avoid engaging with Syrians - the IDF/AF concentrating on supporting ground troops on their drive towards Beirut. However, the SyAAF was clearly not going to sit still and let Israeli armoured formations threaten to outflank Syrian positions in the Bekaa Valley, or allow IDF/AF reconnaissance operations to get a clear picture of the Syrian SAM positions. Very soon after the Israeli operations began, the first Syrian interceptors appeared above Lebanon. While MlG-23MFs had successfully shot down an Israeli BQM-34 recce drone and evaded a section of four Israeli McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagles which fired numerous Sparrow air-to-air missiles against them on June 6, and also claimed to have shot down a General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon on the following day, the MiG-23MS interceptors were kept back and did not initially take part in any fighting.\nThree days into the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, the situation changed completely, as a clash with Syrian troop deployed in the Bekaa Valley and around Beirut became unavoidable. In order to establish air superiority over the battlefield, on the afternoon of June 9, 1982, starting at 14:14, the IDF/AF executed the well-known operation against SAM sites in eastern Lebanon, deploying 26 F-4Es to attack Syrian radars with AGM-78 Standard ARM/Purple Fist and AGM-45 Shrike anti-radar missiles. Nineteen radar sites were claimed as destroyed or neutralised in the first wave.\nIn the following battles, caused by the appearance of the second Israeli wave, including 92 A-4 Skyhawks, F-4E Phantoms, and IAI Kfirs, escorted by F-15s and F-16s, both the Syrian SAM stations and no less than 54 Syrian MiG-21 and MiG-23 interceptors sent to stop them were left 'blind'. Without their radars inside Lebanon, the Syrians were compelled to guide their fighters using long-range systems positioned inside Syria, but hindered by the mountain ridges in between. Even these were jammed by the Israelis, just like the communications between Syrian pilots and their GCI-stations, while-guided by Grumman E-2C Hawkeyes - Israeli interceptors waited in ambush at low level between Lebanese hills. In the ensuing battle, several Syrian MiG-21 squadrons were mauled. Syrian MiG-23MS pilots played only a secondary role, and claimed only one Israeli F-4E Phantom as shot down by R-3S missiles fired by two Floggers, while two of them were also shot down, with the loss of one pilot, Lt Sofi. In contrast, Syrian MiG-23MF pilots claimed three kills, for three losses, with all pilots ejecting safely. "...THE AIR-TO-AIR BATTLES FOUGHT OVER LEBANON WERE SOME OF THE LARGEST EVER INVOLVING JET FIGHTERS..."\nWe were continuously pushed into pursuing the enemy by the ground control, although we were not in the best situations. The enemy used this to advantage and set up numerous ambushes where some fighters would drag us into the shooting zone of the others. When closed to 10-15 km to the enemy, our radars would go black and we would lose all means of detecting them. Heavy jamming wasn't concentrated on our radars alone, but also on our communications with ground control.\nStill there where ways to trick that situation. One was for many formations to ingree simultaneously, or in waves one closely behind the other. This way the later waves would still have the abilitu to use their radar and fire at the enemy while they were busy engaging the first wave. This tactic, however, proved very expensive, and always led to losses on our side.\nMany of our pilots were not experienced; they always obeyed any order by the GCI, and this led many of them to death. I followed the advice from an older pilot not to always do what i'm told to do, and this saved me. I used a tactic which depended on making the enemy angry. I followed the advice from an older pilot not to always do what I'm told to do, and this saved me. I used a tactic which depended on making the enemy angry. I would close at high speed, but before entering the range of their Sparrows, I'd turn away and then do that again and again, until they would start to fire their missiles even outside the maximum range. I once evaded four Sparrows this way. only then would i try to close into the range of my missiles, usually causing them to turn away and try to avoid. That way my mission was done and my bombers were safe to attack.\nTHE SECOND TIME AN EAGLE GOT HIT AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS SHOT DOWN.\nI GOT MANY PRAISES FOR THAT."\nDuring my last missions, I developed my tactics a little more. I managed twice to lure enemy F-15s into SAM ambushes. First time they were not hit, but the second time an Eagle got hit and I was told it was shot down. I got many praises for that.\nOn June 11, the SyAAF changed its tactics once again, dispatching two huge formations - each consisting of a squadron-worth of fighter-bombers escorted by another squadron of interceptors. Several times, MiG-25s were also deployed at high speeds and levels, decoying the Israelis away from the strikers following at low levels. At least, this changed the situation in so that the Syrian interceptors kept the Israeli fighters busy, and, even if the first attack wave had to abort the mission, or suffer losses to Israelis, the second wave following closely behind would usually be able to take advantage of the complete chaos.\nApparently, this tactic enabled at least two larger Sukhoi Su-22 Fitter formations to break through and hit an Israeli MIM- 23 Hawk SAM site, as well as cause extensive damage to one of the armoured brigades battling the Syrian 3rd Armoured Division near the Beirut-Damascus road. During a melee in which F-15s and F-16s of the IDF/AF and Israeli SAMs claimed between five and seven Su-22s shot down, two MIG-23MS pilots apparently used the chaos to break away and surprise an ingressing Israeli formation. Captain Abdul Wahhab al-Kherat and one of the pilots from the al-Zoa'by family, claimed one F-4E each as shot down using R-3S missiles. According to Syrian sources, both pilots were subsequently shot down by Israeli F-15s, but they ejected safely and walked back to Syrian positions.\nWithout dispute, we made many mistakes in 1982, and many of our younger and less experienced pilots paid for these with their lives. Hut the Israelis were never in full control of the skies over Lebanon, and many Syrian pilots managed to dictate the rules of the battle. Heavy jamming and good planning applied by the other side caused us many problems, but the SyAAF was neither completely destroyed, nor neutralised, and it remained active right until the ceasefire at noon on June 11.

Don’t look back a year from now and wish you had started today.\nLook, I get it. I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to have big dreams, big goals and want to live a life of freedom and adventure. I know what it’s like to hold on to that desire, forget about what people think and work on the goal beyond it’s capability.

Instead of focusing on your fears, let’s focus on what you do want. Let’s partner together and take your life from where it is now, to where you want to it to be. Your dreams matter to me and I’m excited to see where we take this together!\nA great leader doesn't simply tell you what to do, they show you and lead by example.

I'm grateful to be on her team and so is my personal team!\nI have been with It Works! Global for 5 years now. I didn't have any support until I met Kaye! She has been supporting me for the last 4 years and has taught me how to lead from watching her example. She always keeps things simple and never forgets about the FUN! I wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't have Kaye by my side. She truly is one of the BEST!\nWhat I love about Kaye as a leader is, she really leads from the front!

A big part of my success is due to the leadership of one woman, Kaye Sowder. Kaye has encouraged, coached and mentor me on my journey with It Works. She as always walked with me, not in front of me.

She not only leads by example but has a greater belief in me than I do myself, at times! She is always motivating and inspiring her team on Facebook with her online forum, by posting success stories, post tasks, encouragements from side line teammates, challenges, etc. She is very driven and motivated and her energy is contagious! I would not have gotten as far as I have without her help! Im grateful to have her guiding me in this business!\nWithin the first week of taking the collagen I was pain free!! I had been having issues with my middle back and had been taking ibuprofen at least once a day for the discomfort. To this date, I have not taken any ibuprofen! My joints have stopped aching. My skin looks amazing!! I can see tightening toning and firming in my neck and arms. I have been mixing the collagen in with my ketones and OH MY GOSH, it's so yummy and refreshing! This awesome tasting drink has changed my life!\n“It tastes AMAZING!!! I cannot believe it’s sugar free! It tastes like a popsicle! It’s orange in color, and the powder dissolves quickly in water and doesn’t remain gritty.\nFor me, the collagen has been a game changer! My acne has been on a roller coaster ride and this week Corey looked at me and told me how clear my skin looked  yall don’t know how sweet those words sounded! My lashes are longer and I haven’t had body acne breakouts either. I also noticed that when I drink with meals I stay fuller longer.\nI drank it early afternoon and will drink it every day. During testing I skipped a couple days here and there and still had amazing results!!\nMy aha moment is... I had no idea about collagen!!!!! But now I can’t wait for EVERYONE to try it!!!! You are going to LOOOOVE what this does for you!!!!!\n3. Within the first week!!\n The taste reminds me of orange Jell-O but not sugary. It’s very refreshing.\n it’s a pretty orange color.\n I started noticing results about three days in. Even my husband noticed that my skin looked more glowing. And not just on my face, my skin is more glowing and tighter everywhere! I also have some lower back issues, my lower back pain was pretty much gone.\nSean would put the packet for me in about a 32 ounce bottle of water in the morning-poor guy had to go through that torture not get to have any-and then I would just start drinking in the morning. I at times also mixed it with Ketones, yum!!!\n I am going to drink this product everyday!\nAHA, This is a beauty product that starts to make a difference on the inside, it’s a product that ANYBODY will benefit from! Don’t get me wrong I love our supplements and our skinny wraps, I take them consistently but some others are not very good at remembering to do that consistently. Like our keto coffee, people drink liquids every day. This one is an easy one for everybody to remember to use!\nPam I am more excited about this new product than any other release we have had!!!\n* it’s a fruity orange color.\nI mix it with 14 ounces of water and my favorite combination is combining it with our Berry Greens! so yummy! Another favorite is my Dreamsicle Shake (Vanilla Shake +Almond milk + Collagen)! It’s amaZing!\n Totally drinking this product everyday!\nI ABSOLUTELY LOVE what it’s doing for my skin!\n**My AHA, This is a product that I didn’t know much about. A beauty product that starts to make a difference on the inside, and has so many benefits! It’s a product that ANYBODY will benefit from AND EVERYONE WANTS!\n1. Tastes like fruit punch to me!  I mixed with 16 oz water or over ice. Feels like you’re “cheating” it’s so good!!\n4. I drank it mid day but you can drink it anytime! ‍♂️‍♀️ Shake it with water & drink. Super simple!\n3. I noticed results within two days.\n4. I like mine in the morning after my coffee or after my morning workout.\n5. I’m going to drink it DAILY it’s a must. Maybe even twice a day sometimes. It’s so refreshing too.\n6. This is a total game changer. My biggest AHA is that so many people could/will benefit from this  I was amazed at so many people from my culture that don’t know about it and are just suffering from so much pain. Like why hasn’t someone suggested this. The benefits from pain relief alone are enough to shout this from the roof tops. So grateful I got to experience it because it’s changed my life.\nFrom my hands hurting with I bend my fingers to my knees hurting and going out at 30 going up and down stairs . It’s changed my quality of life. Not to mention my skin and sleep.\nThis Leadership retreat was incredible!! It not only opened my heart and mind to help me realize that there is more for me, but that I am capable of reaching the next level. Many bonds were formed and others just grew stronger! I am grateful I was able to experience some amazing breakthroughs as I continue to use what I learned to grow into the best version of myself and help others along the way!\nThis leadership retreat was something I will never forget. It was fun and impactful! It was incredible to be around women who wanted the same thing in life -which is MORE! We knocked down walls I didn’t even realize I had. My biggest take away from this was to be yourself. We always seem to give the highlight reel on social media and are always scared of offending others, when truth is you can’t live a perfect life, you can’t have everything together and that’s OKAY! Without this retreat I would still be stuck behind walls of why I’m not good enough or not knowing my strengths, but I found them there! I found what I’m made for, I found what I’m meant to do and that is to ultimately help others be able to live stress free!\nBeing a leader can be pretty scary, because you have the responsibility of leading your team to become the best they can be. By attending our Faith Over Fear Leadership retreat, I did not have any expectations, because I did not personally know our speaker/coach, I just have seen some great results from another leader working with her. But I’m pretty skeptical about coaches overall, because in today's world it feels like every 5th person is a business coach etc. But to tell you the truth, from the first few words of Aida’s presentation, her presence, and her energy won me over. The exercises were so deep and emotional, digging deeper in the soul to discover the real meaning of being a leader. Working on mindset, the words we speak, how we talk, it blew me away, and I felt like a new person truly. And seeing fellow leaders change in front of your eyes, was truly magical.\nAfter this amazing experience, what I took with me is that my voice is mine and I should use it. It’s OK for others not to get you, because they are not on your level yet or maybe never. Knowing that I am powerful and I can achieve anything I put my mind to. Manifesting what you want is very powerful, and we should not fear the things we are not comfortable with yet.\nMy life will be forever be changed after our Faith Over Fear Leadership Retreat. I had so many breakthroughs, especially during the Money Mindset session. I never realized how my thoughts towards my relationship with money were so negative. Aida helped me see how powerful our thoughts are about every aspect in life. Now I am able to recognize those thoughts and manifest what I desire for myself, my family, my friends and my business. Thank you so much! I am forever grateful!\nPerfection... it was intimate and yet grand at the same time. When you gather with other leaders and have the privilege to share aha’s and break throughs it creates growth for everyone. The weekend was powerful and I’m so incredibly grateful to be part of this team.\nLeadership Retreat is a non-negotiable for me in my business! Every year gets better and better!\nIt’s such a powerful few days to process, let go of what doesn’t serve you and fill yourself up with so much information and motivation!\nI come home feeling renewed and inspired! I’m so grateful for these retreats! Thank you Kaye!\nIf you’re feeling like, “I can’t see the (goal) paycheck with my business right now” then you’re stuck in the NOW. We don’t know HOW, we just have to focus on the goal and the how will work itself out.\nThank you Kaye for putting the event together! Everything from the Keto food to the personalized tanks was incredible! Can’t wait to see what you do next year!!\nThe Faith Over Fear leadership retreat was life changing. It really expanded my money mindset. For example, I never kept cash in my wallet. When someone would ask..I would say I never have cash. I don’t want to come from a place of lack or scarcity. I want to create abundance for myself. So you better bet I have cash in my wallet at all times now! I really can have it all! Your self talk has a huge impact on what you are creating. What you are saying to yourself is what you will manifest, good or bad! I can create my dream clients, my dream team, and my dream life. There is so much more..this just is a fraction of what I took home with me to help me in life and in my business. I would love to thank Kaye for putting together such a phenomenal retreat for us to grow and stretch ourselves! I am so excited to see my business soar!\nThe leadership retreat changed my life so much in just a few days! I realized a lot has been holding me back from reaching the next level and I have to show up as me everyday. A ton of break throughs happened which makes me super excited to see what keeps unfolding in my life.\nAbsolutely forever changed my life!!\nI encountered so many breakthroughs during that weekend!! The money mindset discussion led me to begin using a long flat gold wallet (which obviously I fell in love with) that lays my money flat!! I am able to see it, respect it and feel endless gratefulness for receiving it daily!!! As soon as I returned from the trip I knew I needed to clean house: both literally (in my closet) and emotionally!!! I’ve been in this business for over five and a half years and most of my wardrobe consists of work out gear; I was not paying the respect it deserves. I began to organize my closet and gave it love and respect! It definitely set the tone in my appearance and I then decided to get rid of everything I didn’t love in order to welcome all the things I do love and also make room for them. Every Monday I write down my goals for the week. I speak into existence what I want in my business, how much keto cash I want to create for the week, and all the calls come in. I am also asking away and assuming the sale. During the Faith Over Fear retreat, I realized I was not being my truest self and came to the clear realization that I was living a secret life by not disclosing to my friends on social media that I had gone back to work two years ago. So as soon as I returned, I did exactly that, I went live and shared with the world my truest self!!!\nThe truth is I feel free and I know nothing is holding me back anymore!!\nThank you Kaye and thank you Aida for allowing this transformation in my life to take place!!\nI came away with so much more than expected from the Faith over Fear retreat. I originally thought I would just be part of a 2-3 hour presentation that I created and answer some questions. The experience was the total opposite. It was 2 days filled with stories of struggle, inspiration and courage. Every person in the room had a different story but had one thing in common. They all wanted to succeed……together! Experiencing this camaraderie inspired me to improve my presentation just a little bit so everyone could get the most out of it. Instead of “teaching” I made it a guided conversation with slides so we could really connect on what they wanted to learn. This simple change turned a good presentation into a great presentation that kept everyone, including those skeptical of social media, engaged.\nI arrived that Friday afternoon as just someone that had a scheduled presentation but left Tuesday inspired and connected to so many amazing souls. To this day, I see posts pop up from some of the people that attended the retreat and the reward I feel from seeing them implement what they learned is priceless.\nThe Faith over Fear retreat was such a beautiful experience, as a Clarity Coach and Business Mentor I have the honor and privilege of accompanying women along their Entrepreneurial Journey. As a close confidant, I am pulled into the social fabric of my client’s lives, as their personal life and business story weave in and out of each other on a daily basis. I become invested in my clients, and their results. It is just the nature of what I do. The Retreat was originally created as a full day of Inspiration, but we dug deep, and then we dug deeper. I found myself so lit up by the men and women who showed up both spiritually and emotionally.\nWe cried. We slayed. We claimed. We owned.\nAs Entrepreneurs we live in the ebbs and flows of failure and success, and the retreat reminded me that I never want to to do anything other than this. I was born to Guide, Lead and Mentor. I am so grateful to have been in the presence of such inspirational people, from all walks of life, each with so much magic to share. I was there to fill their cup, but frankly I left with mine overflowing.\nThe Entrepreneurial journey is a fickle one, but when in doubt listen closely to your heart for guidance, she will never steer you wrong.\nMy very best friends have come through this company! I love being surrounded by the dreamers, the doers and the go-getters!\nAll I wanted was a job where I could continuously have fun and get paid for it. I didn’t want to be surrounded by the same four walls all day long. I wanted adventure, travel. I wanted to see the world.

Reading someone else's thoughts has always spurred our imagination and with the development of functional magnetic resonance imaging brain reading is not science fiction any more. Using advanced MR imaging methods at ultra-high field, this project will for the first time enable the decode and reconstruct visual stimuli as well as imagined ones from small functional units (layers and columns) in the human brain in vivo. This shall be made possible by a new functional MRI method with concurrent high temporal and spatial resolution with whole brain coverage as well as high sensitivity and specificity. Additionally, it will advance the development of functional connectomics and the aid the parcellation of the human cortex.

As you know, warmup scripts are used to “wake up” SharePoint so that when the first users are in the office, they don’t encounter a very slow page load. On top of waking up the application pools of the web applications, one can also envision to wake up some services.\nIn a full Windows based authentication, including of course Claims & Windows, it is quite easy to do. However, in a scenario when you have a single zone with multiple authentication providers, say for instance Claims/NTLM-Kerberos & Forms/Custom Membership, things get a little more complicated.\nYour PowerShell script runs under a Windows Identity. If the script performs a web request against that single zone, it’s likely to get a 302 redirection to the custom/standard login page.\nwill force SharePoint to authenticate the user with Windows, thus with the identity running the script.\nThen, you use the ReturnUrl parameter to specify where the request should be redirected after a successfull authentication. Right, so far, nothing really new but here is the tip : ReturnUrl only works for GET requests not for POST requests.\n$WebRequest.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E)"\nSo, once the first request has been issued with the current credentials (windows), you can get the cookie container back which contains all the cookies and reassign it to the search request where you don’t even need to specify credentials anymore since the authentication information is contained in the FEDAUTH cookie.\nThis applies mainly to SharePoint 2010. One can also use that in 2013 but it’s way easier to just use the search REST API.\nThis entry was posted in SharePoint and tagged PowerShell, SharePoint, Warmup. Bookmark the permalink.
Happy July everyone! July is smack dab in the middle of those summertime festivities, and nothing says summer more than barbecue. These stuffed bbq chicken sweet potatoes are the perfect mix of everything that I love in this world, but are also sure to be a hit at any Fourth of July bash.\nI remember when I was younger I used to love conventional baked potatoes loaded with butter, sour cream and any other goodies I could find. It’s funny how things never change, they just upgrade.\nThese stuffed bbq chicken sweet potatoes are whole 30, paleo and allergy-friendly so everyone in the family can enjoy them. Sweet potatoes are literally my favorite thing ever. Besides making up for wonderful alternatives to fries, sweet potatoes are little nutrition powerhouses with loads of vitamin A, fiber and potassium. When your eating these stuffed bbq chicken sweet potatoes make sure you eat the skins as well, that’s where a lot of the good stuff is!\nA tasty take on traditional potato toppings, perfect for any summer barbecue and features ingredients that everyone will love.\nMarinade the chicken breasts in the Tessemae’s BBQ Sauce for a few hours before you cook if you’d like. Or you could also buy a rotisserie chicken to save time before hand, it’s totally up to you. If you cook the chicken at home, preheat the oven to 445, and cook the chicken for 45 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165.\nWhile the chicken is cooking, thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes. Place the sweet potatoes on a pan and place in the oven for 45 minutes, or until you can pierce the skin with a fork. Once these are done, let them cool. That skin will burn your hand something good if you try to touch them out of the oven.\nShred the chicken, and stuff inside of the sweet potatoes. Place all other desired toppings, and finish off with the barbecue sauce.\nIt is nice combination of potatoes, vegetables and chicken. it looks good.

Church leaders in Tonbridge have questioned why almost a quarter of the library's religious section is dedicated to books on Scientology.\nSeventeen of the 72 books, written by founder and science fiction author L Ron Hubbard, in the section at the Avebury Avenue library are devoted to the controversial religion.\nFollowing enquiries by the Courier, Kent County Council this week vowed to review the number of Scientology books in Tonbridge Library.\nScientology is a movement founded in 1954 which, in recent years, has gained high-profile exposure through the backing of Hollywood celebrities such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta.\nReligious leaders this week expressed their surprise and concern at the "unrepresentative" selection of literature, which takes up the bulk of an entire shelf of the three comprising the religious section.\nThe Rev Mark Brown, of Tonbridge Parish Church, said: "I think people need to be free to explore other views and other perspectives, but the books seem to be overly weighted in one direction.\n"I am surprised there are so many of them.\n"I wouldn't go as far as to ask for them to be removed, but I would question why there are so many."\nThe Rev Jim Thorneycroft of URC Christ Church, agreed with this view. "It seems excessive and out of proportion to what you expect," he said. "It just makes me wonder where they've come from. I'm certainly concerned.\n"Someone's trying to promote it big-time, I would have thought.\n"It's very unusual, you wouldn't expect the majority of people to be interested in it, especially in such a small town like Tonbridge."\nA spokesman at the Scientology headquarters in East Grinstead, Graeme Wilson, said the books were donated to the library.\nHe said: "Despite the growth of the internet, the British lending library system is still a wonderful resource for people to freely find out information on any subject.\n"We have therefore donated sets of basic Scientology books to libraries around the country.\n"These are of course for libraries to use at their own discretion, to meet the needs and requests of their customers," he added.\nThe Courier asked residents for their views. Nadine Elliott, 70, of Barden Road, Tonbridge, called it "ridiculous", while Peter Winch, 52, of London Road, Maidstone, said it didn't bother him.\nHe said: "As an atheist, whether it's a religion or cult, it's a matter of semantics.\n"If it's what other people believe in, then it's just as legitimate as Christianity or paganism. It doesn't annoy me to see it."\nThe county's libraries are run by Kent County Council.\nA spokesman said: "We are committed to providing materials on a wide range of beliefs and interests, which may include items donated to the library service, such as the Scientology books donated to Tonbridge Library.\n"We undertake a regular programme of stock-weeding, maintenance and revision in all our libraries and will review the balance and demand for this area of stock in Tonbridge Library."
"SmartGate gives some travellers the option to self–process through passport control. It uses the data in the e–Passport and face recognition technology to perform the customs and immigration checks that are usually conducted by a Customs officer.\nAn e–Passport has a microchip embedded in a hard plastic page and an international e–Passport symbol on the front cover. The microchip contains the same personal information that is on the photo page of the e–Passport, including an electronic copy of your photograph."\n"The reason that a focus on Web 2.0 is significant and needed is because the popular web applications it represents are driven by users providing endless and virtually unlimited information about their everyday lives. To put it in Lash's terms, they are clearly on the inside of the everyday, they are up close, they afford direct and routine connections between people and software. We have not yet begun to think through how this personal information might be harvested and used. A starting point would be to find out how this information about everyday mundane lives is being mined, how this feeds into 'relational databases', and with what consequences: the very types of question that are being asked by the writers discussed here. Alongside this it is also important that we consider how the information provided by users, and other 'similar' users, might affect the things they come across. If we return to Last.fm, which 'learns' users' tastes and preferences and provides them with their own taste–specific online radio station, it is possible to appreciate how the music that people come across and listen to has become a consequence of algorithms. This is undoubtedly an expression of power, not of someone having power over someone else, but of the software making choices and connections in complex and unpredictable ways in order to shape the everyday experiences of the user. How we find the books that shape our writing could be a question we might ask ourselves if we wish to consider the power that algorithms exercise over us and over the formation of knowledge within our various disciplines. (I know of at least two occasions when Amazon has located a book of interest for me that has then gone on to form an important part of a published work.) This is not just about Amazon, it would also include searches on Google Scholar, the use of the bookmarking site Del.icio.us, the RSS feeds we might use, or the likely coming applications that will predict, locate and recommend research articles we might be interested in. Readers based in the UK will also by now be considering the power of algorithms to decide the allocation of research funding as the role of metrics in the forthcoming Research Excellence Framework (REF) are finalized."\nBeer, D.

Respiratory system illness and hypoxia.\nThis book provides detailed information on the different forms of injury that are associated with training for and participation in Alpine skiing, covering risk factors and epidemiology, incidence, injury patterns, and, above all, preventive strategies and current management approaches. Conditions addressed in individual chapters include concussion, traumatic dislocations due to high-energy trauma or inappropriate movements, overuse injuries resulting from dry-land training or skiing on snow, the fractures typically associated with present-day Alpine skiing accidents, and musculoskeletal disorders. The importance of a sound understanding of biomechanics and physiological systems for the design of suitable training protocols and trauma prevention is clearly explained, and in-depth information and guidance are provided on training and testing for elite skiers and return to sporting activity following injury. Among the other topics addressed in individual chapters are the relationship of changes in skiing equipment over recent decades to particular types of injury and the potential consequences of exposure to hypobaric hypoxia and other stressors at high altitude. The book will be of great value to all medical professionals who work with or care for Alpine skiers, as well as for trainers and the skiers themselves.\nBook — online resource (xvi, 346 pages) : illustrations (some color).\nThis edited book is a compilation of findings on the molecular and cellular toxicity of nanoparticles (NPs) in animal cell, human cells, invertebrates. The varied selection of test models will provide better understanding about the horizon of NPs toxicity. Interaction of NPs with cells and its organelles can induce toxicological consequences, including transcriptional and translational alterations, DNA damage, cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death. NPs can get internalized in cells through phagocytosis, macropinocytosis, receptor-mediated endocytosis and passive penetration, which can affect varied cell types. Readers will be benefited with the compilations on basic and molecular facet of NPs toxicity. The chapters will provide a comprehensive information on the state-of-the-art methodologies. The application of toxicogenomic approaches, which is already established in nanotoxicology, has been given special consideration to unravel the toxicodynamics of nanomaterials. Among these approaches, the high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), which is able to build a complete map of transcriptome across different cell types and perturbations upon NPs exposure has been included. The readers are also introduced to the less studied topic on the adsorption of biomolecules (mainly proteins) on the NPs surface, constituting the so-called “biomolecular corona”. The book has been designed for scientists engaged in NPs toxicity research. Nonetheless, it should be of interest to a variety of scientific disciplines including marine biology, environmental pollution, genetics, pharmacology, medicine, drug and food material sciences, consumer products. Also, the compilations will be of interest to the environmental watchdogs, federal regulators, risk assessors and the policy makers.\nFirenze : Leo S.

Drugs Acting on the CNS.\nMedicinal Chemistry teaches essential concepts by focusing on how the field is actually practiced, melding real-world research experience with basic principles and modern methods. Written by practicing medicinal chemists, this textbook is intended for advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students in biology, chemistry, and biochemistry. Pre-medical or pre-pharmacy students and professionals entering the drug discovery field will also find it a useful reference. Building on a foundation of synthetic organic chemistry and structural biology, the book interweaves therapeutics, case studies, historical context, and techniques for discovering, developing, and optimizing new drugs. Chapters are richly illustrated and include problems and annotated journal references with accompanying exercises and answers.\nAre medicinal plants effective for skin cancer?\nCan medicinal plants provide an adjuvant for tuberculosis patients?\nMaximizing medicinal plants : steps to realizing their full potential.\n"Medicinal Plants for Holistic Health and Well-Being discusses, in depth, the use of South African plants to treat a variety of ailments, including tuberculosis, cancer, periodontal diseases, acne, postmacular hypomelanosis, and more. Plants were selected on the basis of their traditional use, and the book details the scientific evidence that supports their pharmacological and therapeutic potential to safely and effectively treat each disease. Thus, this book is a valuable resource for all researchers, students and professors involved in advancing global medicinal plant research." --Publisher.\nBook — xlii, 546 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 25 cm.\n"Volume 18, entitled Metallo-Drugs: Development and Action of Anticancer Agents of the series Metal Ions in Life Sciences centers on biological, medicinal inorganic chemistry. The serendipitous discovery of the antitumor activity of cis-diamminodichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin) by Barnett Rosenberg in the 1960s is a landmark in metallodrug-based chemotherapy. The success of cisplatin in the clinic, followed by oxaliplatin and carboplatin, along with their drawbacks relating mainly to resistance development and severe toxicity, initiated research on polynuclear platinum complexes and on Pt(IV) complexes as prodrugs. Furthermore, the indicated shortcomings led to the exploration of other transition and main group metal ions, among them Ru(II/III), Au(I/III), Ti(IV), V(IV/V), and Ga(III) including also the essential metal ions Fe(II/III), Cu(I/II), and Zn(II). Ionic as well as covalent and non-covalent interactions between structurally very different complexes and biomolecules like nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates are studied and discussed with regard to their possible anticancer actions. Hence, MILS-18 summarizes the research at the forefront of medicinal inorganic chemistry, including studies on the next-generation, tailor-made anticancer drugs. All this and more is treated in an authoritative and timely manner in the 17 stimulating chapters of this book, written by 39 internationally recognized experts from 10 nations (from the US via Europe to China and Australia). The impact of this vibrant research area is manifested by more than 2700 references, nearly 150 illustrations (more than half in color) and several comprehensive tables. Metallo-Drugs: Development and Action of Anticancer Agents is an essential resource for scientists working in the wide range from enzymology, material sciences, analytical, organic, and inorganic biochemistry all the way through to medicine including the clinic ... not forgetting that it also provides excellent information for teaching"--Provided by publisher.\nDawson, Alexander S.

In the seven years since the ACA, many drug manufacturers worked to push new biosimilars through development and FDA review. As of July 2017, there were three marketed biosimilars and two more that were approved by the FDA but not yet marketed. BPCIA's shorter, lower-cost biosimilar approval pathway was designed to introduce competition among biologic manufacturers. This Perspective estimates potential future savings from biosimilars in the United States, summarizes the experience to date with the first marketed biosimilar in the United States, and discusses key policy issues surrounding biosimilars. We estimate that biosimilars will reduce direct spending on biologic drugs by $54 billion from 2017 to 2026, or about 3 percent of total estimated biologic spending over the same period, with a range of $24 to $150 billion. While our estimate uses recent data and transparent assumptions, we caution that actual savings will hinge on industry and regulatory decisions as well as potential policy changes to strengthen the biosimilar market"--Publisher's description.\nBook — online resource (xxviii, 599 pages).\n"This book covers key aspects of the continuous manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. The first part provides an overview of key chemical engineering principles and the current regulatory environment. The second covers existing technologies for manufacturing both small-molecule-based products and protein/peptide products.

The final two sections treat the integration of several individual parts of processing into fully operating continuous process systems and summarize state-of-art approaches for innovative new manufacturing principles"-- Provided by publisher.
When choosing a solar collector, selecting the correct size is important. To find out what size collector you need please click here. Once you have determined what size collector suits your needs, the next question is where to install it.\nThe angle and direction of installation is also of great importance as it will effect the efficiency of the solar collector. Naturally you want the collector to receive the maximum amount of sunlight each day and throughout the year. As a general rule if you are in the Northern Hemisphere then the collector should face South and if you are in the Southern Hemisphere then the collector should face North. See diagram below.\n- Melbourne, Australia has a latitude of 37o South - the collector should therefore face north at a 37o angle.\n- London, UK has a latitude of 51o North - the collector should therefore face south at a 51o angle.\nYou do not have to be too careful about mounting the collector at the exact angle suggested. If your roof angle is within 10o+/- of your desired angle you can just mount the solar collector flush against the roof surface. The added trouble of adjusting the collector to a precise angle is not warranted as it will not result in a great improvement in efficiency.\nIf you are using the solar collector for space heating as well as hot water production, or if you just want a larger solar contribution, you will need a system that will greatly surpass heat requirements in the summer. Generally in the summer heating will not be required, in contrast cooling is. Unfortunately, at present solar cooling for domestic applications is not yet economically viable, so what to do with the additional heat? If you have a swimming pool or spa, the excess heat can be used to supplement heating. Turning off the pump and letting the collector stagnate is not ideal as high pressure and temps, and large volumes of vented steam may result (wasted water).\nIf you do not have an additional means of using the excess heat, then adjusting the angle of the collector can help to reduce summer heat output. As can be seen by the diagram above, the sun is low in the sky during the winter and high in the summer. Solar smart house designs will take advantage of this by having big North or South (depending on your location) facing windows allowing maximum absorption of winter sun, with large eves or veranda to block out the summer sun.\nBy increasing the vertical angle of the collector by about 20o more the location's latitude (ie. 60o instead of 40o), greater winter performance will be experienced. This is because the collector is "facing" the sun (perpendicular - longitudinal angle). Due to the higher location of the sun in the sky during the summer, the collector will be around 40o from perpendicular and as such heat output will be reduced as the collector is not fully "facing" the sun. This simple solution alone can reduce peak summer output considerably, thus reducing problems associated with excessive summer heat production.\nThe above photo shows an ideal example of an installation angle that optimises winter, spring and autumn heat output, while minimising summer output. The high angle not only maximises expose to the direct winter sun, but also allows the sunlight reflected off the snow to be absorbed. In the summer when the sun is high overhead the exposed surface area is small, especially with the overhanging roof which would partially shade the collector. In areas without snow fall (and a latitude range of 30-40o) an angle lower than that shown above would be suitable.\nPlease note: For the SunSurf solar water heater, optimal heat pipe performance is achieved in the angle range of 20-70o. Although your locations may have a latitude of less than 20o, this basic installation guideline should be adhered to. Horizontal angles of +/- 5o are acceptable and may be appropriate if the manifold needs to be drainable (end port models only).
Wheelchair users will be able to access the beach in Carrigaholt this summer.\nRamped wheelchair access is to be reinstalled at the South West Clare beach. “Sea and storm damage to this area over the last number of years” has been attributed as the reason why the location was off limits for individuals reliant on a wheelchair.\n“Signage will also be put in place to ensure that access to the ramp is kept clear. It is planned to have this work complete for the summer season,” acting senior executive engineer of the West Clare Municipal District, John O’Malley stated.\nThis confirmation followed a motion from Cllr Gabriel Keating at the March meeting of the Municipal District where he sought the reinstallation of wheelchair access which he acknowledged was damaged by the storms. Keating was seconded by Cllr Bill Chambers in his request.\nTwo West Clare communities are to benefit from pier and harbour funding over the coming months.
This variant is particularly recommended for games with 2-4 players. Use the rules given above except for the following: Each player takes all four betting chips (0, 1, 1 and 2) in his or her color.\nBetting now lasts four rounds, and players place chips face down when placing their bets. (Players may look at their own chips at any time). The chips remain face down until the end of a race, at which time they're all turned over and the total number of bets on each horse is revealed.\nThe chips have no effect on the payout; they're merely used for bluffing.\nFor fans of the classic Reiner Knizia game, the following variant is presented: Use 21 Royal turf cards instead of 28 horse cards. Draw the top royal turf card from the deck and place it on the matching gate.\nPlace the appropriate color horse on space 36 and put aside cards of the same type which has been just placed.\nContinue drawing horse cards until seven distinctly different horse types occupy gates 1-7, then reshuffle any horse cards that were put aside into the deck.\nIn this version, multiple horses may occupy a space on the track. In addition, all horses begin on the starting line (space 36).\nFor a subtle variation on payouts try the following: When choosing the proper payout column count the number of chips on that horse and not the number of bets. (i.e., a double bet counts the same as a single bet).\nNote: If this option is being used along with the hidden bets option, zero chips are also counted.\nOtherwise payouts are unchanged. A player with a chip on this horse receives the amount listed, a player with a chip receives double this amount, and a player with a chip receive nothing.

What Is the Ego Belief System?\nThis world was made to reinforce guilt; its only useful purpose is forgiveness. We want to remove the obstacles to the awareness of Love’s presence. The popular acronym for ego is “edging God out.” More exactly, the ego is a death wish, it is the belief that there is no God, it is the belief that Love is impossible, and it is the belief in separation. Some people ask, “What is the point of the ego?” The only answer is the ego doesn’t have a point. In fact, being an illusion is being unreal. Reality is the point. The ego is a denial of Reality.\nIn a world of opposites, forgiveness isn’t positive. In fact, “A Course in Miracles” states, “The miracle does nothing. All it does is to undo.” (T-28.I.1:1-2) So, we could even call a miracle a positive thing, in the sense that all it does is undo. The journey from the ego’s perspective is very disheartening, challenging, disconcerting, frustrating, irritating. In fact, a vast amount of the stages in the development of trust are very difficult to go through. With this forewarning, it is no surprise when the floor drops out and we experience intensity. But it is only inevitable that the floor will no longer drop. Eventually, we experience lasting stability in mind. This is no small gift.\nFear of experiencing miracles comes from our deep-seated unworthiness that we are not worthy of love. We need new experiences—miracles—that contradict our limited sense of self. We are afraid to drop the mask and experience our power because we think we misused our power and are afraid of experiencing it again. The ego would keep us small. So, “A Course in Miracles” reminds us of how worthy we are. You are worthy of experiencing miracles. The mind has a deep sense of being not worthy, but the Spirit is trustworthy and worthy of your trust in Him. The belief in being unworthy of love runs deep in the mind, but it is a worthy task to allow feelings of unworthiness to come up for healing. Healing is something you’re worthy of, and you can embrace your own self worth now.\nIn this “A Course in Miracles” Toowoomba, Australia gathering, David and his friend Rob discuss the journey from a point of fear to love. Overcome the grips of fear and forgiving, and open to the experience of God’s Love. When we discover what it takes to let go of the ego, there is an intense amount of fear. We are completely unaware of this fact in our normal lives because we have endless places to project it onto. Yet just having the willingness to go through the fear and open up to love is enough. We don’t need to be concerned with conquering the ego because we will be given all we need to walk through our fear. We’re even given brothers to walk through the fear with.

I read recently about the concept of a Ta-Da list, where instead of making a To-Do list you write down the things that you have achieved instead. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the future things to do that we forget to reflect on all we have accomplished this year. So, here it is!\nWe started off the year with a month long trip to Canada.\nThen we got the keys to the property in mid-March.\nWe installed new front steps.\nGot a new electrical board installed.\nWe cleaned and painted (most of) the inside of the house.\nWe built a new pool fence.\nWe chopped down the Leopard tree.\nWe adopted sweet Benny boy.\nWe cleared the front yard.\nWe chopped down the big Candle Nut.\nWe installed a new water tank.\nAttend Permaculture Design Course in January!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nI am excited to have a bit of a slower pace as we have spent most of the past year frantically trying to get things done in time for this or that. I am happy with where we are at right now and things that we have planned are more want to dos rather than have to dos. I think we also need a bit of aesthetic love outside, as we have been chopping A LOT of stuff down and not replacing it!
With Christmas on its way and the avalanche of toys sure to follow, I have been casting my eye over our flat. A spacious place with lots of light but not so much on the storage front. I've always tried to be sensitive to the adult / child balance of the flats interior, the lounge being a neutral space of well designed products and a spattering of regularly used/easily hidden toys, F's room full of easy accessible toys and then there's our room. Over the last few years the bedroom has turned into a multi purpose junk room with the addition of a bed. Unframed prints stacked on the fireplace, a desk littered with letters and magazines, clothes limply hanging on the drying rack and a battered wardrobe bursting at the seams.\nRather than wait for the annual spring clean I have taken matters into hand and decided to extend the same interior styling into the bedroom, hopefully making it a place of sanctuary rather than a pit stop. I'm thinking affordable scandinavian style sliding door Pipari Wardrobes or chest of drawers as seen in the bedroom furniture from Argos, copper bedside lights, bold printed textiles, white walls, mirrors to reflect the light, a gallery of prints, a pile of good books and the occasional pot plant. The first step in this master plan is to pull everything out and organise into four piles: Sell / charity shop / keep / bin. So hopefully over the next few weeks F will go to stay with my folks and I make a start before Santa Claus comes to visit.\n*This post is in association with Argos, but all words and thoughts are my own.\nI've recently redecorated my bedroom and it does make a big difference to how I feel about the room. It's my little bit of sanctuary now.\nmy house needs de cluttering too, always accumulate way too much stuff!\nSeriously though, glad you didn't, that's a great shot.\nGood luck, I'm looking forward to hearing what you do.\nOh I know the feeling - I have so much junk waiting to be put into it's final position!

You Know About Cryptography and cipher? if not, then this post is created for you!.\nToday, we will talk about what is cryptography? and why cipher is important for digital life?\nQ 1. what is cryptography?\nAns Cryptography is a special technique for securing and hiding data in the presence of the third party is called cryptography. In Cryptography, we try to create a secure communication between two parties. that prevent the third party or the public from reading and process data. In simple word, Cryptography is a special method of storing and transmitting data in a secure form so that only those for whom it is intended can read and process it. In the modern age, Digital cryptography is used for Encryption, Decryption, Cryptographic hash calculation and much more.\nQ 2. How Cryptography Works?\nAns. Modern Cryptography is very advance, heavy and fast. Generally, In Cryptography we convert our data in particular secure form that is only possible to decrypt by using a secret key. Modern Cryptography using advance mathematical theories, advance algorithms, computer science and many other techniques. and that's why these algorithms are hard to break in practice. Modern Cryptography is actively increasing its security and also filling its loop hole. In digital life, Cryptography Allow People to carry their confidential data secure in the physical world as well as in the digital world. Cryptography Provides us power to secure our data from public or from the third party.\nQ 3. what is cipher?\nAns. Cipher is an important part of cryptography. A Cipher is a special algorithm that is design for performing Encryptions and Decryption. Cipher algorithm is a series of well-defined steps that can be followed to perform an Encryption and Decryption. In Simple Words, Cipher Is a collection of code that is used to encrypt or decrypt our data. Generally, The Concept Behind Cipher is, We Use a key to encrypt a data and the same key is needed to decrypt that same data.\nOriginal Data is known as plain text and encrypted data is known as cipher text. The Cipher Text is an encrypted message that contains original data but without decryption, it is not in a form of readable by human and computers also. And for Decryption, We need the same key, which is used to encrypt data.\nQ 4. what is encryption and decryption?\nAns. Encryption is a cryptography process, In which we convert our data in particular secure form for preventing original data from third party or public. and its Reverse Process is Called Decryption.\nThere are many types of Encryption/Decryption algorithms are available.\nQ 5. Why Advance Cipher Is Important for digital life?.\nAns. In Modern Age, Advance Cipher Allow People to carry their confidential data secure in the physical as well as in the digital world. Cryptography Provides us power to secure our data from the public. With The Help of Digital Cryptography Millions of peoples transmitting and storing their data, whether it is through Emails, Social Sites, Bank Sites, On line Accounts, E-Commerce, ATM Machines and many other also. This growth of digital life has lead to an increase reliance on Advance Cipher and Cryptography.\nGenerally, Cryptography Provides us three core facilities that protect us from data thefts and from unauthorized use of our data.\nAs I Already Describe Above. With Advance Cipher You Can Keep Your Data Confidential From Public Easily.\nAuthentication is a special process in cryptography that provides as an identity certificate which is also called digital IDs and these digital IDs help us to identity that User is authorized or unauthorized.\nIntegrity Provides us another certificate called digital signature. This digital signature helps us to ensure that identify the user.\nQ 6. How Many Digital fields are based on cryptography?\nAns. Their are many fields, which are using Cryptography.

Review of the OLPC XO Tablet; Appreciated by children, full of interesting apps, but where is the backing by the One Laptop Per Child organization?\nGreat to have a successor to the One Laptop Per Child laptop. Funny to have it loaded with 200 selected Spanish/English apps for playful learning, ordered into 15 dreams (future professions). Interesting the effort to offer a shell for parental / teacher control and creating accounts, setting specific options like internet acces on/off, monitoring roughly the activities and interests of the children. The hardware apparently comes from various suppliers with minor differences. It is not crowded with innovations like the OLPC laptop once was; in fact it is an average Android tablet packaged in a green protection band.\nMy personal experience: children in both developed and developing countries liked it. It looks and feels for them as “a tablet for us”. The many apps are new and full of surprises and different from the apps everybody has on their smartphones already. Tip: switch off the internet access and they have a great time.\nFifteen dreams: Artist, Astronaut, Athlete, Chef, Doctor, Engineer, Green, Mathematician, Musician, Photographer, Programmer, Scientist, Teacher, Traveller, Writer.\nWhat worries me: the organization behind the One Laptop Per Child project which was already talking about this tablet before the iPad even existed, now launched it, sells it via Amazon, Target, and Walmart, and further, I hear nothing more from them. I did not hear about projects in developing countries based on the tablet. There is no background material on their site, nor on the sites of the producers, like Vivitar. The XO Tablet site does not even mention OLPC at all. Huperlinks to its promotion video (!), and to the shops of Target and Walmart are obsolete.\nThe dreams (future professions) are based on developed countries, the guidance mechanism is for parents more than teachers. There is no documentation on how to add new dreams or add extra apps in the dream-structure. Technical support is absent, a user community also.\nNice that the prices are falling rapidly. Does this mean the OLPC dream is over?\nPerhaps another case of throwing out a shiny product with shiny software thinking it has universal relevance. Why not equip parents, teachers and kids to “create” dreams using an app? How about farmer, businessperson, etc.? Many young adults in developing countries get into some kind of small business — and sometimes make it big! It’s also important to promote agriculture — it’s a problem that young adults don’t like to get into this although there’s a big need.
Sumptuously located on l’avenue de Wagram, just steps from the Arc de Triomphe, not far from the Champs-Élysées, only 10 minutes from the Palais des Congrès and a few hundred yards from Place de la Concorde.\nLines 30 and 43 to the “Ternes” stop.\nLines 31 : «Charles de Gaulle - Étoile Wagram» stop.\nTake metro line 3 to «Villiers» then metro line 2 to «Charles de Gaulle Étoile».\nTake metro line 2 to «Charles de Gaulle Étoile», approximately 20 minutes.\nTake metro line 4 to «Barbes-Rochechouart» then metro line 2 to the «Charles de Gaulle-Etoile» station.\n45-minute drive from the hotel by taxi.\nTake the ORLYVAL metro shuttle to Antony, then the RER B to the «Denfert-Rochereau» station. Then take metro line 6 to the «Charles de Gaulle-Étoile» station.\nTake the RER B to the Châtelet station then take the RER A to the «Charles de Gaulle-Étoile» station.\nLocated next to the hotel at 22 bis, avenue de Wagram, Vinci Park is open 24 hours day. This five-level, clean and well-lit parking facility offers wide parking spaces, making it convenient for large vehicles. The rates are €1.20 for 15 minutes, € 1.10 for every 15 minutes for a parking period of 1 to 9 hours and €39.60 for an entire day.\nLocated at 6/10 rue de l’Etoile in the 17th arrondissement, Interparking (which offers a special rate agreement) is open every day and charges a flat rate of €19 for 24 hours instead of the 30.40 for the same amount of time, without the discount.
A "Contract Piano Tuning" is optional and ideal if you play the piano regularly - saving you more money each visit.\nA local contract piano tuning is a fixed cost - only £42.50 per visit - saving you £5.00 per year.\n# Music schools, colleges and universities/ theatre groups etc.\nThis service is available for all upright and grand pianos - new or old - same rate.\nCustomers are required to complete a small application form to enter into an agreement.\nShort contract agreement renewed on an annual basis consisting of a minimum two piano tuning visits, six months apart.\nAfter the contract runs out (12 months), you can either renew it with another annual payment, or cancel it - the choice is yours.\nPlease note once payment has been made, we cannot refund it nor transfer it considerably later in the year.\nIf you require an additional visit which is not part of the contract (e.g. leading up to a concert or exam), please book this at any time at the normal rate. We are unable to exchange an extra visit for a contract visit.\nIf your piano has not been tuned for several years and badly out of tune, (and you play it regularly), the cost of a one-off tuning visit may exceed £60.00. Customers may continue along the one-off payment route, but by paying only an additional £25.00, it would be cheaper in the long run to enter into a short contract, saving you money each time.\nYou may start your contract at any time of the year - for example, January. When your second appointment is due (July), you may book it anytime during the sixth month. If you are on holiday, we can book your appointment during the first half of the next month, or even book it earlier - please let us know if you are on holiday.\nPlease allow up to 90 minutes for each visit.\nEach visit will consist of a standard piano tuning (at pitch settled) and may include some mechanism adjustments & toning.\nPlease allow at least 48 hours notice for any cancellation or you may be charged an additional fee.\nFor all tuning contracts, your piano will need to be reasonably good condition and all notes working.
I promised an update on using Swarm/Foursquare, and since I’ve been doing some travelling on the last week or so, I’ve had a chance to put both apps through their paces.\nThe first point is that I don’t use the actual Foursquare app much. I check in to places using Swarm, and only go into Foursquare to wrote reviews, or to check who else has checked in at a particular location.\nSecondly, Swarm is easy to use, and seems to work better in poor signal locations than the old Foursquare did (which is definitely a situation that I encounter regularly). I would like more ‘stickers’ (which give information about what you’re doing at a given time, e.g. working or drinking coffee!), but apparently you unlock these by checking into different places.\nSo I conclude that it is still possible to use Swarm/Foursquare to record my travels, which was my main aim with the previous app. Adding reviews of places is something I’m happy to do. All the lists I set up are still there, and I can still add places to them. Having invested over 4 years in using the app there was no question of uninstalling it. (Many of the new features, like ‘plans’ on Swarm, and local search on Foursquare, are of no interest to me, so I don’t see myself using them).\nI’m sorry about the loss of points and mayorships, but don’t see them coming back any time soon, sadly. Judging from the various discussion groups, the Facebook page etc., it seemed that a significant number of users were going to uninstall Foursquare, but whether this is enough to persuade the company to reverse some of these changes is questionable! We’ll have to watch this space and see.
Do you own one of those extra special dogs? I know they are all special! But I mean one of those dogs who seems to do everything perfectly. Or one of those dogs that can find the ball when you have no idea where it is. Or perhaps you have a dog whose favourite thing to do is to taking a running leap off of your dock.\nAll of these things are dog sports. Dock diving is a huge new sport open to any dog that loves to run off of a dock and jump in the water. Usually they jump in after their favourite toy but whatever it takes will work. It is a refreshing summer activity for your dog.\nAnd for the dog that can always find that ball…why not try Nosey Dogs? This is a sport that encourages the dog to use its natural talents in a very fun and constructive game loosely based on area searches. The dog eventually learns to find a particular scent. You would be amazed at what they can find and how little it takes. We do this sport at DueNorth and it is a very popular class.\nIf you are the kind of owner that loves to train your dog and it walks perfectly on a leash….you are half way there….to a Companion Dog title. A Companion Dog title is a title that you can earn through the Canadian Kennel Club….and it is the Novice class.\nThis level is considered the basic level that any companion dog should be able to do to be a companion dog….hence the name. We do this here at DueNorth….in fact we do a lot of it and it is our favourite thing to do.\nIf you have a retriever who drives you insane all the time because he just has to have something in his mouth to carry around….you might take a look at retriever training.\nThis is a huge big game to the dogs….they love it. Bring your ear plugs though because once they find out how much fun it is they’ll be screaming for more of it.\nIf you want a less formal type of obedience competition….there is the new sport of Rally Obedience which encourages an ongoing dialogue with your dog while still focusing on obedience.\nIf your ears can handle the noise, your dog is fast and loves balls there is always fly ball. If your not too sure about it….why not go and watch. I hear there is a big tournament on in Norwood soon.\nHerding dogs have their sports as well You can start out with herding ducks and then move on to the bigger livestock like sheep. And cattle dogs of course herd cattle.\nThere are folks in Lakefield that do carting with Newfoundlands and other giant breeds. A lot of these dogs were the poor man’s horse and actually worked for their keep.\nIndeed almost all dogs were bred to do a job and no matter what it is I can assure you that someone out there is still doing it. There are sled dogs, lure coursing dogs, scent hurdling dogs and tracking dogs….the list is long and varied. And nothing bonds you to a dog more than working with it. So get up, get the leash and do something fun with your pooch….there are lots of people around to help you get started. And fall is such a great time for dog sports. Enjoy it!\nServing Peterborough, Lakefield, Selwyn, Burleigh Falls, Buckhorn, Apsley, Bancroft, Kawartha Lakes, Norwood, Havelock, Marmora, Bailieboro, Clarington, Oshawa, Port Perry, and all points east of the Greater Toronto area.
Making time for everything else.\nWhat do you fit into your average day? Meals, school, sports, work, music, time with friends, gaming, talking on your phone? Have I left out 5 or 20 other things on your list? If you’re like many teens I have met, the idea of adding even one more thing to an already jam-packed day isn’t necessarily a happy thought. In fact, you’re probably hoping for a few less things to do, and maybe simply looking forward to getting some extra sleep this coming weekend!\nWhen parents watch their first child head off to their first job - out of state - understandably there will be hugs, tears, and teachable moments. The night before I left home and traveled 477 miles away to start a job in Atlanta was Christmas. As my girlfriend, Emma, and I were saying goodbye to each other - there were definitely tears. And it was during this emotional moment that my Dad came over and wrapped both of us up in a hug and said, “it’s not going to be easy, but it’ll be okay.” Just another of life’s hard moments, made a little better with the sharing of a little parental wisdom.\nIn ImproveCareNow we believe in "sharing seamlessly and stealing shamelessly," which essentially means if someone has an idea and develops something useful, it is shared widely so others across the network can benefit from their work. Our culture of generosity and sharing allows us to spread new ideas and innovations quickly, so they can impact many more lives.\nWe maintain a selection of tools & resources on our website, which can be accessed at any time. Here are a few highlights and recent updates.\nPrior to this year, I really didn’t understand what Crohn’s disease or IBD was. For about a month, I had been telling friends and family that my daughter was having stomach issues, and they would usually reply: “oh it’s probably just a virus; I’m sure it’s nothing serious.” Then on January 16, everything changed. My daughter, who is 13 and in 8th grade, was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease.\nHi there! My name is Bianca. I’m and 18-year-old college student who loves Broadway and being a patient advocate with the PAC, my Crohn's & Colitis Foundation chapter, and the National Council of Crohn’s and Colitis Leaders. I was diagnosed at 15 with ulcerative colitis and since then have absolutely fallen in love with spreading awareness about Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and fostering compassion around these chronic illnesses.\nTough things are a part my routine (ahem, thank you Crohn’s). As I write, I’m waiting in yet another doctor’s office, which feels like a part-time job of mine. While I wait, I'm reflecting on the sheer amount of effort it can take to accomplish a thing as simple as getting out of bed.\nWe all have an escape. Mine is theater.\nI’m a therapist and the lead suspect of a murder. Well, I play a character that is!\nI’ve always loved theater. I’ve done 12 performances, am on my school’s improv team, and have taken drama in high school every semester. One of my favorite things about theater is that you can act as anyone. It makes me feel better to play characters who have more problems than I do, and that’s saying something. Which is one reason why I’m so excited to perform my soap opera!\nAs I look ahead to my graduation from high school, I want to reflect on my IBD journey. Join me for a trip down memory lane. In 2008, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Since then I have tried several different medications and treatments; I have been in and out of more doctors’ offices, hospitals rooms, and clinics than I care to count. At one point, I began to believe that Remission would never come for me. My future, free from illness, seemed so far away and unachievable; I felt hopeless.\nMy name is Zehra and I am 20 years old. I began experiencing symptoms that were probably resulting from IBD as early as five years old. I was not officially diagnosed until I was 14. After multiple severe relapses, consisting of profuse blood loss and dramatic weight reduction, my colonoscopy/endoscopy revealed I have Crohn’s disease. Unfortunately, my diagnosis happened at a time of severe disease relapse, which impeded my education significantly. I took several years off during high school to cope with my disease and multiple life challenges, which merited the need for self-care. During this time away from school, I explored my passions further to give me a sense of purpose, productivity, and victory over IBD. After so much struggle, I am finally in my last year of high school, and I'll be graduating in June if all goes well!

Fresh off of a win in the world’s largest cocktail party, the Georgia Bulldogs head into a game against another top-25 opponent in the SEC East in the Kentucky Wildcats. Both teams have a ton on the line in this game, with a win giving either side control of their own destiny as they attempt to represent their division in the SEC Championship Game.\nGeorgia comes into this battle for SEC East showdown as a 8.5-point favorite over at BetOnline. Can they get themselves back into a position to contend for a playoff spot, or will it be the Wildcats with a chance to advance in this de-facto elimination game?\nGeorgia is 17th in the nation in scoring offense, averaging 39.1 points per game. They absolutely have the advantage in terms of explosiveness on offense in this game, and will need every bit of it against a Kentucky team that has one of the best defenses in the country.\nThe Bulldogs are 27th in rushing yardage heading into this game at 221.6 yards per contest. Both Elijah Holyfield and D’Andre Swift are averaging over 5.5 yards per carry as the only rushers on the team to get more than 35 carries on the season. Both will need to be effective in this game to set Jake Fromm up with opportunities to succeed in the passing game.\nSpeaking of the passing game, Georgia is 66th in passing yardage, putting up 236.1 yards per contest. Quarterback Jake Fromm has completed over 67% of his passes in 2018 and has 16 touchdown passes to just four interceptions. That level of mistake-free football will be required here.\nIn scoring defense, the Bulldogs are ranked 12th with 16.4 points per game allowed. They’ll face a lot of running against the Kentucky offense, and will have to be stout in the front seven to keep their scoring average from creeping up after this game.\nKirby Smart’s team controls its own destiny in the SEC East with a win here after beating Florida last week, who is in a three-way tie with Georgia and Kentucky atop the division. After this game, the Bulldogs have games against a disappointing Auburn team, followed by UMass and Georgia Tech. If they can get through this game, they should be able to breeze into Atlanta and into the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta (where the players play).\nKentucky is tied for first in the country in scoring defense, allowing just 13 points per game. That’s not bad for a basketball school, and is a mark that the Wildcats will need to improve on in this game if they are going to give themselves a chance to be in this game late.\nThe Wildcats are tied for 96th in college football in scoring offense, putting up just 25.6 points per game. As good as their defense has been, their offense has struggled to put points on the board, as they haven’t put up more than 28 points in a single conference game this year. Against a Georgia team that can put up 28 points in a half with ease, the Wildcats have their work cut out for them on offense.\nAt 31st in the nation in rushing with 214 yards per game, Kentucky definitely prioritizes running the football when they’ve got possession. Kentucky is averaging over five yards per carry as a team, led by Benny Snell, Jr., who enters this game just 65 yards away from 1,000 for the season.\nKentucky is only 119th in passing offense, averaging a measly 148.1 yards per game. Terry Wilson has completed 65% of his passes on the year, but is averaging less than 6.5 yards per attempt, which shows a lack of willingness by Kentucky to push the ball downfield with their passing offense. Wilson has five touchdown passes on the season to six interceptions.\nKentucky clearly favors a style of play where they rely on their defense and running game. That is normally fine, but can be a problem against a team like Georgia in the event that Kentucky needs to stage a comeback and needs to lean on its passing game to move the ball quickly. Without a real vertical passing game to rely on, Kentucky will have to keep within arms reach in this game both to have a chance to win and cover the spread.\nKentucky would control its own destiny with a win here as well. They, like Georgia, already beat Florida this season and would hold the tiebreaker over both Florida and Georgia. The remaining schedule for the Wildcats is also easy to navigate, as the Wildcats have Tennessee, Middle Tennessee, and a struggling Louisville team remaining for the rest of this season.\nBoth the Bulldogs and Wildcats enter this game at 7-1 straight up on the season and 4-4 against the spread. Georgia is 9-4 against the spread in its last 13 games, and is 11-3 in their last 14 games away from home. Kentucky, on the other hand is 8-21 in its last 29 home games, with Georgia having a decided advantage as far as trends are concerned in this game.\nGeorgia is by far the better offensive team heading into this game, as they appear capable of moving the ball on offense in multiple ways, while Kentucky is far too reliant on running the football.\nKentucky’s defense has the chance to be the great equalizer in this game, but with Kentucky’s inability to move the ball in the passing game, Georgia should be able to keep their offense on the field for long enough to wear down the Kentucky defense and really start to open things up in the fourth quarter.

Black people in Brampton and Mississauga are three times more likely to be stopped by Peel police than white people, according to six years of data obtained by the Star.\nThe race-based data pertains to street checks, known as carding in Toronto, conducted in the two cities between 2009 and 2014.\nBlacks accounted for 21 per cent of street checks conducted in Brampton and Mississauga. According to census data from 2011, 9 per cent of Brampton’s and Mississauga’s total population was black. Whites made up 41 per cent of the population and accounted for 28 per cent of the street checks.\nMississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie says she will now call for the suspension of street checks by Peel police, after learning of the race data from the Star. Crombie, who sits on the Peel Police Services Board, in June pushed for a full review of the force’s street-check practices.\n“During the next meeting of the Peel Police Services Board, which will take place Friday Sept. 25, I will call for a suspension of street checks to best ensure we have a thorough review and analysis of the practice, and have a better understanding of its scope and scale,” Crombie told the Star Wednesday.\nCrombie said she understands the need for police to have crime-fighting tools, but said citizens cannot have their rights infringed upon.\nLawyer Howard Morton said he’s not surprised by the race data on Peel’s street-check practices.\n“If the Star hadn’t looked closely at Toronto, which had a similarly disproportionate number of black people being carded, this would come as a surprise in Peel,” said Morton, a member of the Law Union of Ontario. He and his group have been staunch critics of carding, arguing that the practice violates Charter of Rights protections against unlawful search and seizure, and detention. He will be speaking at a Peel Police Services Board meeting on Friday.\nIn June, Crombie asked for the review of Peel police’s street-check policy as Evans defended the practice as an important tool to help solve crimes.\nEvans was asked Wednesday how many crimes her force has solved with the help of street-check data, but no information was provided to the Star.\nData obtained in August after the Star filed a freedom of information request in June showed that Peel police conducted 159,303 street checks over six years, from 2009 to 2014.\nThe race-based data obtained Tuesday shows that in 2011, blacks were stopped in 5,830 street checks by Peel police out of 26,113 total checks, or 22 per cent of the time.\nThat year, blacks had three times the chance of being stopped, compared to whites, a number that remains consistent when using the street-check data from 2009 to 2014.

(Nanowerk News) Future pandemics of seasonal flu, H1N1 and other drug-resistant viruses may be thwarted by a potent, immune-boosting payload that is effectively delivered to cells by gold nanorods, report scientists at the University at Buffalo and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The work is published in the current issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.\nThese human bronchial epithelial cells have been transfected with nanoplexes, developed by scientists at UB and CDC, that are uniformly distributed surrounding the cell nuclei.\nImportant funding for the UB institute portion of the research was provided by the John R. Oishei Foundation, which helped pave the way for new stimulus funding UB received recently from the National Institutes of Health to further develop this strategy. The goal is to work toward an Investigational New Drug filing with the FDA.

It’s no longer acceptable to base critical business decisions on the often outdated or inaccurate information of these legacy systems.\nThough many recognize that implementing a modern cloud enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is an obvious answer — many that take start the transition are surprised by marginal improvements, slow user adoption, and unchanged processes that still rely on excel workarounds.\nTo ensure a smooth transition to cloud ERP, CFOs need to lead the charge. Executive sponsorship at the CEO and executive bench level is essential for organizations to realize full ERP’s benefits. It’s not strictly about using new technology — it’s also about executives driving a shift to a more digital, data-driven culture and ensuring that users embrace the new system.\nhttps://i0.wp.com/org-consult.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/shutterstock_639471862.jpg?fit=500%2C307 307 500 gwilker http://org-consult.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/ORG-logo.png gwilker2018-01-05 23:00:352018-01-05 23:00:35Software/System Integration: Can't we all just get along?\nSeed to Sale?

The following quotes are excerpts taken from Richard Rice’s book God’s Foreknowledge & Man’s Free Will (1985). This book was originally titled The Openness of God (1980). These quotes are general quotes and more specific quotes on specific themes will be added later on to other pages.\n“Its [Open Theism’s] central thesis is that reality itself and consequently God’s experience of reality are essentially open rather than closed. This means that God experiences the events of the world He has created – especially the events of human history – as they happen, rather than all at once in some timeless, eternal perception. This also means that not even God knows the future in all its details. Some parts remain indefinite until they actually occur, and so they can’t be known in advance. Otherwise, as we shall see, the idea of freedom is meaningless. Although this thesis varies from the conventional Christian view of God’s relation to the world, it has the support of both the Bible and religious experience. It makes more sense on a rational basis as well. In addition, the open view of God ultimately enriches such concepts as divine providence, prophecy and foreknowledge.\nSuch an understanding of God’s relation to the world does not really represent a departure from the essential Christian concept of God. Indeed, it is more faithful to the biblical portrait of God than the more widely accepted view” (p. 10-11).\n“If God’s knowledge of the future is exhaustive, then the entire future is definite, and creaturely freedom is an illusion” (p. 21).\n“The static view of divine perfection and the concept of absolute foreknowmedge that it entails are fraught with difficulties. By denying God’s relationship to time they exclude the possibility of geuine creaturely freedom and evacuate the attribute of love of an essential component when applied to God. This concept of God has far more in common with the “unmoved mover” of Aristotle than with the God of the Bible. An examination of its history would uncover roots in Greek rather than Hebrew soil. Its prevalence in Christian theology offers yet another testimony to the enormous impact of that stream of ancient thought on the doctrines of the church. Fortunately, it is not the only view of God available’ (p. 23-24).\n“The open view of God presupposes an open view of reality itself, in which the concepts of time, novelty, and freedom are essential. According to this view of reality, the temporal world is an ongoing process of events that come into existence. It is not a collection of things that simply are what they are. Time – the passage of the future into the past – is characteristic of the actual nature of reality. Time is not a mere projection of the way we happen to experience the world. Moreover, as the ongoing occurrence of events, reality is also characterized by the emergence of novelty. Not everything that will happen is already determined. A significant portion of the future remains to be decided. The part now open consists of the future free decisions made by the creatures as well as by God. So, in the open view of reality creaturely freedom plays an important role” (p. 31).\n“The Bible portrays God as a person who is infinitely concerned with and sensitive to every aspect of the world. He responds to events as they actually happen. Sometimes He rejoices (Luke 15:7). Sometimes He sorrows (Gen. 6:6). Sometimes He wishes that things were drastically different than they are. His various reactions to events are genuine. They are not merely apparent. In a word, God is open to the world of creaturely experience. He is truly affected by our decisions, achievements, and disappointments.\nThis view suggests an intimate relation between God and the individual person. It implies that God s hares the events of a person’s life as he experiences them. God appreciates the full reality of one’s joy or sorrow at the precise time that person experiences it. It is not a datum in His knowledge from all eternity. My experience here and now contributes something novel to God’s experience too. This is impossible according to the usual view. For God possesses in one timeless perception the full value of all reality – past and future. The actual experiences of individual human beings contribute nothing to God’s experience that He does not already have.\nThere is another quality of experience, excluded by the traditional view of God’s relation to the world, that the open view makes it possible to attribute to God. This is the capacity for risk. A risk is an undertaking whose outcome is indefinite. The person who risks his life, for example, places himself in a situation where his survival is genuinely in doubt. So, I did not risk my life when I jumped into three feet of water to save my son several years ago, because my life was in no way threatened. I fully expected to survive. We often think of love as involving a risk. There is first of all the risk that love will not be returned. And if it is, there is the risk that something harmful may befall the object of one’s love. The willingness to accept the risk of being hurt or rejected is an essential aspect of our exsperience of love.\nThe open view of God allows us to attribute risk to the divine experience, thus enriching our appreciation of His love for us. There are at least two significant points in which we can think of God as assuling a risk. One is the Creation. The other in the Incarnation.\nIn creating morally free beings, God left the future of the world partially indefinite. Their free decisions would complete the future. In particular, God left up to human beings the decision of whether or not they would remain loyal to Him (Gen. 2:16, 17). In so doing, God undertook the risk of their disobedience. It was a risk He was willing to take, because without it their obedience would not have manifested personal love for Him.\nAgain at the Incarnation God undertook the risk that His Son would fail in His struggle with temptation. We can only speculate as to what the consequences of that possibility would have been. Perhaps they are literally unimaginable to us. But the genuineness of Christ’s temptations strongly supports the reality of the risk that God assumed (Matt. 4:1-11; 26:36-44; Luke 4:1-13; 22:39-44; Heb. 2:18; 4:15). And this heigtesns, if anything, our appreciation of His love. In giving His Son for man’s salvation, God was not merely expressing His disposition toward humanity. He was also running the risk of permanently disastrous consequences to the Godhead itself.\nThe customary view, however, of God’s relation to time makes it impossible to speak of God as ever risking anything. If God could foresee from all eternity the fall of man and the success of salvation, then neither Creation nor the Incarnation really involved a genuine risk. If at Creation God knew with absolute certainty that man would fall, He was not risking the moral harmony of the universe in making man. He was simply sacrificing it. Similarly, if God knew with complete certainty that Christ’s earthly mission would end in victory, He did not risk His Son in sending Him to the world for man’s salvation. He simply paid the price for a guaranteed result” (p. 42-43).\n“The crucial question, though, is whether the actual existence of the creaturely world contributes anything to God’s experience. According to the view of absolute foreknowledge, it does not. For if God sees the world in all its reality before Creation, then He gains no new satisfaction from its actual, as opposed to imagined, existence. He has all the value of any world simply by foreseeing it.\nBy attributing temporal experiences to God, the open view of God’s relation to the world provides for a coherent conception of divine decision. On the view that God’s foreknowledge of the future is absolute and all-inclusive, there is no possibility of “decision” on God’s part. After all, no aspect of the future is indefinite to Him, including His own activities. Knowing the entire course of the future, God also knows the content of all His decisions. But to know exactly what one will decide is nothing other than to have made the decision already. Nothing is left to be decided. Indeed, since the very meaning of “decision” implies a transition from “undecided” to “decided” and thus requires temporal distinction, the concept of “divine decision” is inherently contradictory according to the conventional view. If, however, God’s experience is sequential in some sense, then we can think of God as really making d ecisions, as choosing between alternatives, as making definite something that was previously indefinite” (p. 44-45).\n‘By maintaining that “time is real for God,” we are able to affirm genuine creaturely freedom. This, in turn, provides a coherent response to the problem of evil’ (p. 52).\n‘One way to express the basic difference between the usual view of God’s relation to the world and the alternative this book proposes is to say that they involve contrasting concepts of the future. The customary view states that God knows the future in all its detail. It implies that the future itself is there to be known – fixed and changeless in every respect. We have seen that such a concept excludes creaturely freedom because genuine freedom requires that part of the future be indefinite until decided by free personal agents. In order to affirm creaturely freedom, the open view of God maintains that certain aspects of the future are as yet indefinite. Therefore they are unknowable. And this means that God’s knowledge of the future cannot be exhaustive.\nTwo misgivings may arise from the idea that God does not enjoy exhaustive knowledge of the future. One is the belief that Hod’s knowledge is less than perfect if there is anything He does not know. The other is the fear that a God ignorant of the future cannot meet its challenges. Neither objection is well-founded.\nThe belief that God does not know the content of the future decisions compromises the perfection of His knowledge only if we regard these decisions as there to be known before hey are actually made. But this is precisely what the open view of God denies. Future free decisions do not exist in any sense before they are made. So the real difference between the traditional view of God and the alternative proposed here is not that one attributes perfect knowledge to Hod, while the other doesn’t. Both affirm that God knows everything there is to know. They differ, however, in their concepts of what there is to know. In particular, they differ in their concepts of the future. If, as the familiar view maintains, the future is already there in all its detail, then God knows everything that will ever happen. But if future free decisions do not yet exist, they are not there to be known until they are made. And the fact that God does not know them ahead of time represents no deficiency in His knowledge. Not knowing that which isn’t there to be known hardly constitutes ignorance. Just as not seeing what is not there to see is not a kind of blindness.\nThe point with respect to divine foreknowledge is precisely the same. Perfect knowledge, or omniscience, is not simply “knowing everything.” Rather, it is “knowing everything there is to know.” And, as we have seen, future free decisions are not there to be known until they are actually made. Accordingly, God’s not knowing them in advance does not imply that His knowledge is less than perfect. it simply means that His knowledge corresponds precisely with what there is to know’ (p. 53-55).\n“At first glance, the phenomenom of prophecy seems to pose a problem for the open view of God. People often assume that it proves the validity of absolute foreknowledge. But careful investigation reveals something quite different. Properly understood, biblical prophecy gives strong support to the open view of God. It shows that the course of history is not a foregone conclusion. And it reveals that God’s relation to the world is dynamic and dramatic” (p. 81).\n “Nothing which implies contradiction falls under the omnipotence of God” (Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, la, Question 25, Article 4, quoted in C. S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain [New York: The Macmillan Company, 1962], p. 26). According to Lewis himself, “Omnipotence means power to do all that is intrinsically possible, not to do the intrinsically impossible” (Ibid., p. 28).
Atlantic University recognizes the tradition of academic freedom and free inquiry that is the hallmark of the university system and one of the guiding principles in the Edgar Cayce readings. Thus, we are committed to a process that allows students the freedom to follow a variety of avenues of inquiry in class work, thesis development, or interactions with the university. This freedom is limited only to such extent that it does not become disruptive to the operation of the university and is not prohibited expressly by university policy or rules of conduct.\nAtlantic University admits students of any race, gender, color, age, nationality, ethnic origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, religion, or disability and extends all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities available to all students equally.\nWithin the limits of its facilities, the university is open to all applicants who meet admission requirements.\nStudents are responsible for maintaining standards of academic performance as established by their instructor(s) and for abiding by guidelines of academic integrity with regard to such issues as cheating and plagiarism.\nStudent records are confidential and may not be examined without the written consent of the student except by authorized Atlantic University personnel. Students may review their records upon request. Viewing financial records and letters of recommendation by an outside party requires the written consent of the student.\nWhen the information requested is classified as “Directory Information.” The following categories of information have been designated by the university as directory information: name, address, telephone listing, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received, and the educational institution from which the student obtained their BA or BS degree. Students who do not wish such information released without their consent should notify the university verbally or in writing.\nBefore university staff can discuss or release information about a student over the phone, we will need to verify the student’s identity. The student will need to accurately confirm their address, telephone number, and email address on record.\nA student must enroll in at least three semesters per calendar year to maintain “Active” status. Active status also entails course completion within the past 100 days or current active enrollment while progressing on schedule towards course completion and submitting academic work within the past six months. Failure to maintain a minimum level of course activity will result in the student being placed in “Inactive” status. Inactive students must seek readmission by reapplying to the university and completing all procedures as outlined in the admissions requirements. Students must be readmitted formally prior to registering for additional classes. Readmitted students are admitted under the policies included in the catalog in effect at the time of readmission and are subject to the current tuition rate.\nA Leave of Absence may be granted to students when extenuating circumstances (e.g. severe illness, emergency, financial hardship, military assignment, etc.) will prevent maintaining “Active” status. The Leave of Absence cannot exceed 180 days and cannot be repeated. The request must be made in writing to the Director of Advising and Assessment prior to the start of the semester in which the leave period begins. Complete the Leave of Absence form. Applicable documentation may be required. The student must have no outstanding financial obligations to the university. It is the student’s responsibility to contact any appropriate parties providing tuition or other financial assistance.\nA student who does not return to their program of study by the end of a Leave of Absence will be withdrawn from the university and changed to “Inactive” status.\nStudents whose studies are interrupted due to military obligations will be allowed to take up to two weeks away from their studies per semester and to return to their studies without penalty. If the time away from an individual course is expected to be longer than two weeks, the military student will be withdrawn from the course without penalty and can re-enroll at a later time. Students may speak to their faculty mentor and advisor for more details.\nActive and Reserve Duty Military students need to notify the university when military deployment prohibits satisfactory academic progress. With sufficient documentation of military duty that prohibits academic progress, the student may take an official Leave of Absence from the university. The student can be reinstated in their program of study upon returning from military duty. The Leave of Absence cannot exceed 180 days and cannot be repeated. Military students may be placed in inactive status and be subsequently reinstated in their program of study upon returning from military duty, not to exceed one year.\nAtlantic University supports and promotes academic honesty and personal integrity. The most frequently observed form of academic dishonesty is plagiarism. Plagiarism is the adoption or incorporation of another’s ideas without proper attribution of the source. It is more simply defined as taking the writings of another person or people and representing them to be one’s own. It is the student’s obligation to read, understand, and comply with this policy.\nTo avoid plagiarism, a student must credit the sources used when writing an essay, research paper, or other assignment in accordance with the appropriate style manual or required format. Specific approaches to appropriate citations are found in the current writing guide: Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA Manual.) Any form of academic dishonesty has no place in higher education. The university does not tolerate dishonest efforts by its students.\nThe student should know that if a mentor suspects any violation of academic integrity, they will immediately address it with the student to determine whether or not there is a violation. If there is a violation, the mentor will determine the extent of the violation, obtain the student’s comments, and report the academic integrity incident, along with any student comments and any substantiating documentation, to the Vice President of Academic Affairs.\nOnce the Vice President of Academic Affairs has reviewed the incident report, the mentor’s recommendation, and any student comments, a formal determination will be made and documented. The Vice President of Academic Affairs will notify the mentor, and outcome documentation will be archived in the student's file. The determination will become a part of the student’s permanent record.\nThe student may be given the chance to rewrite the assignment with a reduced grade.\nWork may not be redone, and the student receives a failing grade for the assignment.\nThe student is placed on Academic Probation and must maintain a 3.0 for the duration of the course.\nThe student may be suspended for one academic semester.\nWork may not be redone, and the student receives an “F” for the assignment.\nThe student automatically fails the course.\nThe student may be permanently dismissed from the university.\nIf a mentor or administrative staff suspects any issues in student conduct, the Vice President of Academic Affairs will be notified immediately. The mentor or staff will obtain the student’s written comments and any substantiating documentation and forward those to the Vice President of Academic Affairs, who will review the incident and documentation.\nOnce the Vice President of Academic Affairs has reviewed the report from the faculty or staff, a formal determination will be made and documented. The Vice President of Academic Affairs will notify the student, and the outcome will be placed in the student’s permanent file.\nA student has the right to petition the faculty and/or administration, in writing, on matters pertaining to academic work performed at Atlantic University.\nA student has the right to formally appeal all adverse determinations and actions by notifying the university administrative office directly to initiate an appeal process. The administrative office will immediately notify the Vice President of Academic Affairs, who will assess the information and the student’s reasons for appeal and will notify the student directly of the appeal determination. The appeal outcome documentation will be recorded in the student’s file, and the appeal determination will become a part of the student’s permanent record.\nA formal complaint must be in writing and delivered to the university within 30 days of the grievance.\nWhen the university receives a formal grievance, the university’s Vice President of Academic Affairs will send an acknowledgment within two business days stating that an investigation will begin. The Vice President of Academic Affairs will contact the staff/faculty members directly involved and attempt to reach a resolution. The Vice President of Academic Affairs will keep a log of all formal complaints. Within 15 days after the acknowledgment letter is sent, the Vice President of Academic Affairs will provide to the student a written response of the university’s decision.\nThe student, if not satisfied with the decision, may appeal that decision, in writing, to the university President.\nThe President must respond to the student within 15 days after receipt of the appeal. The decision of the President is final and the university will end all investigation regarding the grievance.\nIf the complaint cannot be resolved after exhausting the university’s grievance procedure, the student may file a complaint with the State Council of Higher Education of Virginia (SCHEV). The student may file a written complaint with SCHEV, 101 N. 14th St, James Monroe Building, Richmond, VA 23219 by submitting an online form at the following link: http://www.schev.edu/students/studentcomplaint.asp. The university will not retaliate against the student for submitting a complaint with SCHEV.\nStudents may also file a grievance or complaint with the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC) through their Online Complaint System. The Online Complaint System enables individuals to file a complaint directly from the DEAC website. The complaint form may be found at www.deac.org (select “Contact Us” and select the link in the left hand column). All complaints should be submitted using this form.\nAll assignments must be posted through the online classroom in Moodle. Students must submit all assignments listed both in the syllabus and in the classroom by their due date. Late assignments will be penalized with a grade reduction. Under extenuating circumstances, the student must contact the instructor to make alternate arrangements for submitting the assignment late. Instructors will grade and return all assignments through the online classroom within one week of original submission, unless otherwise indicated.\nThe online courses have mandatory weekly discussion posts. Participating in these discussions will count, in part, as attendance and participation for that week. Participation also includes completing and submitting all assignments on time. Failure to participate in the weekly discussion and to submit assignments will negatively affect the course grade.\nStudents who have not posted or submitted assignments will be contacted by their instructor. If the student fails to attend class or participate for more than two weeks, the student can be Administratively Withdrawn (AW) from the course.\nAll students are expected to complete courses within a 12-week time frame.
