I was born for the sea. There is no place in the world that I feel more free and alive than out on the ocean. Put me in the bow of a boat with the wind tangling my hair and salt water spraying my face and I'm a happy woman. Sadly, it's rare that I can get out on a boat. But I've found that usually, I can still get a taste of that freedom and life by walking out to the very end of a good, long pier. I close my eyes and feel the wind on my face. It's a healing experience. Several times this week, I've crossed the Atlantic Beach bridge and come eye to eye with the Atlantic Ocean. I come to the Atlantic Beach Causeway and almost instinctively turn left onto Fort Macon Road. Just a little ways further and I'm at Oceanana Fishing Pier… It's the one I come to now that my favorite (Triple S Pier) has closed. A fishing pier is a perfect place to engage in one of my favorite pasttimes. People watching. As I make my way down the pier, I covertly study all of the other people around me… The young couples walking and holding hands… The two white-haired ladies fishing with their visored faces towards the sun… But it's mostly men that are fishing and I notice on my way down the pier that most of the fish coolers are empty, while most of the beer coolers are full. These men are pretty serious about their fishing. When I get to the end, they don't speak or acknowledge me. But I'm okay with that. I'm not here to talk to them. I'm here for a conversation with God. So, I find a place among them and quietly watch them try to entice a school of menhaden that are playing about fifty yards out. The fishermen cast, reel in empty hooks, and cast again. The menhaden are not interested in what the fishermen have. Nobody catches anything on my end of the pier. I decide to head down to the sand to feel the water on my feet. As I'm walking back down the pier, I notice a small family on the right. Mom is trying to keep a little boy of about 3 from diving off the pier. Dad is sitting on a bench next to a little boy of about 5, showing him how to bait a hook. They don't see me, but I smile to myself and try not to stare at the two adorable, tow-headed boys. Dad shows the boys how to cast. The three-year-old is now in Mom's arms and is more interested in the seagulls above his head. But I hear the five-year-old bubbling with excitement as he yells. I kept walking, but I knew I had heard the voice of God. I received God's promises anew again. I have dreams, but God has bigger dreams for me than I do. And He has promised those things to me. When they don't come right away, I can't give up. He has bigger things in store for me than I ever dreamed of. All I have to do is wait for them. WOW! What a message! Thanks for posting this….I am not a patient person, either! This really spoke to me! Wow. That really made me realize that I tend to not be too patient. But who likes to find their own flaws…not me! Its amazing what we can learn just from observing everyday people in an everyday world! Thanks for that cause you know me I am a "gitter done" type myself.. This and something else yesterday reminded me that I can't give up either on circumstances or people. Great message Sarah! I'm sure God gets flustered with us for giving up so easily when his blessings are usually right aound the corner. Patience? Ugh. Not my strong suit. But it's one of those things God seems intent on teaching me, no matter what I might think. And the beach? YES. Nothing calms me like the sight of the ocean.

Chia seeds may be tiny, but these little seeds pack such a punch they are considered a superfood. Chia seeds are an inexpensive source of nutrients and energy. They are a popular natural remedy that can be used to reduce blood sugar, suppress appetite and relieve constipation. Chia seeds are high in fiber, fat and protein but low in carbohydrate, making them a suitable source of energy for those on low carb diets. Low carb diets are often lacking in fiber, which is something chia seeds have plenty of. Chia seeds are high in calcium, magnesium, iron. They also contain potassium, niacin, thiamine, manganese, and zinc. Chia seeds contain almost 5 grams of omega 3 fatty acids in a single ounce! These omega 3 fatty acids may be the most critical factor in the amazing health benefits of chia seeds. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, Omega 3 fatty acids are important for reducing inflammation.1 The omega 3 fatty acids are thought to be responsible for reducing incidence of heart disease, high cholesterol, mental disorders, and arthritis. Common sources of omega 3 fatty acids are fish, like salmon. Chia seeds are a nice alternative for vegetarians, especially. They are also easier to keep on hand and prepare than fish. Chia seeds are a wonderful way to let your food be your medicine. Chia seeds can give you a "full feeling," thereby reducing appetite and increasing weight loss potential. Adding a serving of chia seeds (2 tablespoons) to a cup of water will give you the benefit of hydration, the nutrition of the chia seeds and the feeling of fullness – all great for weight loss. Ideally, you will allow the chia seeds to sit in the water in the refrigerator for a few hours. This will allow the seeds to absorb the water. The nutrients, fat and protein in chia seeds make them an excellent energy source. The electrolytes in chia seeds make "chia seed water" great for an after workout drink to replace fluids and nutrients. The omega 3 fatty acids are beneficial to the brain, which means that chia seeds are useful for a variety of mood disorders, including anxiety, depression and ADHD. Fat, protein, fiber and nutrients work together to make chia seeds useful to reduce blood sugar. Some find that chia seeds reduce sugar cravings as well. If you are using chia seeds for blood sugar, do monitor your blood sugar readings to make sure that chia seeds are not reducing your blood sugar too much. Chia seeds' fiber content make it an ideal remedy for constipation. The magnesium in chia seeds is a bonus for constipation sufferers. Interestingly, chia seeds seem to have a balancing effect and can also benefit those with diarrhea or those with irritable bowel syndrome. Increased energy is a common effect of chia seed consumption. The ability to use up energy during the day often makes sleep more deep and sweet at night. Calcium and magnesium, contained in chia seeds also are helpful minerals to promote sleep. The omega 3 fatty acids, magnesium, calcium and other nutrients in chia may all contribute to the benefit to those who have arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. More than just an infamous novelty, chia seeds are an effective treatment that supports health in a variety of ways. Search on Instagram for recipes featuring chia seeds, or try our delicious pudding! Blend together the chia seeds, coconut milk, vanilla and honey. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Have you tried Chia seeds for health? Please send us some feedback! Continue reading to see how our readers use chia seeds and the health benefits they experience. I agree, chia seeds are fantastic for easing anxiety. I add a heaping teaspoon of chia seeds to my smoothie every morning and besides making my skin soft, have noticed increased calm and centered thinking. Borage oil supplements (high dose) have the same calming effect. Perhaps even better than chia seeds. Chia seeds have mostly fiber in them and fiber definitely lowers blood sugar. Each tablespoon has 5 grams fiber (soluble). I've been incorporating a lot of fiber in my diet (Chia, Ground Flaxseed, etc.) and finally my blood glucose has dropped dramatically. Between my diet and added fiber from supplements (about 40-50 grams) total for the day, I'm extremely impressed with the results!!! I LOVE Chia! I have learned a couple of things about chia over the past two weeks from personal use. I have gentle, but persistant energy through out the day even to the point that if I drink chia past two or three in the afternoon I cannot get to sleep on time. The other benefit is that when I do sleep – I sleep very well, deep, solid sleep! Chia is a fun, playful experience to drink in my iced tea or water. People at work ask about it and of course I gladly share the benefits. Go Chia! Can you tell me specifically how chia helps with insomnia? I've done research but don't see anything much. Thanks. Perhaps the chia, since it seems to give people so much energy especially if taken early in the day causes people to be more active so that they sleep better at night. Just guessing, but seems possible. Chia Seeds: Thought I'd pass along this info. If you are a homade soup lover (like me), a good substitute for traditional thickeners ( ie. cornstarch, flour, milk) is chia seeds. Have not tried this with flax seed but I'll let you know. The ratio of chia seeds/broth is 1 tbs/1-1-1/2 cups of broth. Yum!! Chia seeds do not have to be crushed. They open whenever they come in contact with moisture. You can add them to anything. I put 1-2 tablespoons in half cup of kefir most of the time. Stir and let sit for few minutes or put back in frig and eat later. Suppresses your appetite, adds omega 3s to your diet and lots of fiber as well. Love them. I also make a pudding with them, add them to soup, many ways to eat them. After reading about chia seed, I purchased a lb bag of them for the omegas. I couldn't believe the vitamins, minerals and amino acid complex in these little seeds. After 2 weeks, I noticed my energy level increasing and I didn't have my usual sugar cravings in the afternoon. My anxiety started going away and I started walking more. It has been almost 2 months and I couldn't be happier with how much better I am feeling. I put a tablespoon of chia in a glass of water about half full then add a little cranberry juice, let it sit a minute, stir it with a spoon and drink this down twice a day. It's a whole food that is loaded with good things. I have only just found out about these and I think I am going to get some and give them a go. There appears to be a difference in them according to the country they are grown in but on the whole they should be the same. I would love to get rid of some weight along with aches and pains. "The study did not collect information on the men's diets. Therefore, it's not clear whether the omega-3 fatty acids in their blood came from food or from supplements." The above paragraph says a lot.. But many people will give up chia seeds because of it. They are natural from nature, unlike many man made supplements. Remember cancer can not live in a oxygenated and alkaline environtment. Research herbs that provide oxygen to the body. Deep breathing is good. Eat healthy food from nature (unprocessed) and fresh juices and you will be fine. It isn't wise to make blanket conclusions on studies that include several questionable variables and unknowns. The benefits of Omega 3's on human health and disease prevention are numerous. The one problem I see which could raise issues like this study found is the lack of fat soluble antioxidants like Carotenes, Vit-E & A that are essential to protect the sensitive unsaturated 3's. Heavy metals especially and any type free radical damages the Omega 3's. Zinc and Selenium were also mentioned as being studied in this publication proly to find some "unknown factor" increasing cancer risk rather than reducing. Anyway, Zinc & Selenium are the two most important minerals for prostate health. Despite being in the high risk category for prostate problems I have, so far, evaded any of the first symptoms of complication; with the exception of only very recently a problem urinating. At the first signe of urinary problems I take Stinging Nettles herb and Cranberry. Cranberry prevents infection by keeping the urinary tract clean which prevents inflammation in the Prostate. Stinging Nettles reduces dihydrotestosterone levels which is the number one factor for enlarged Prostate. I started taking chia seeds last fall. I am a diabetic and took 3 tbls in 6 oz of water, with a little lime juice. I made it the night before, put in the fridge, and have a light, tasty breakfast. I can tell you, that after about 3 weeks, my fasting blood sugar was getting steadily lower. I have since cut back on my insulin, and I am also losing weight, perhaps because now I have the energy to get out and walk 30 min. 3-4 times per week. I don't know if this progress will continue, but I sure hope so. Hello, I have heard that some 2004 study concluded that Chia seed puts males at a higher risk of prostate cancer if consumed on a regular basis. I also have heard that Chia seed is a "superfood" that has a ton of vitamins/minerals and is wonderful for our health. Is Chia seed good or bad for prostate health?.. And also general health too? I have taken it and it has worked wonders for my mood and energy. I have been eating chia seed ever since I heard about it. My favorite breakfast is to put 2 or 3 tablespoons in yogurt flavored with vanilla, anise, cinnamon, with a handful of blueberries and pomegranate seeds. I make a lentil soup with the chia seeds in it. It thickens the soup, and is an easy way to eat them. I don't like the gel plain. Yuck. My Naturopath friend suggested to a partner that he take chia as prep for knee-replacement surgery. I believe he ingested 3 tbsp daily for a couple weeks ahead of the surgery; an extreme amount to be sure. I will agree with you in the healing properties of this tiny seed. My husband is battling with brain cancer and he started using chia seed in his diet and we have found a drop in his high blood pressure, general health and energy levels. He eats about 2tsp of it on salads and in his morning meal. I'm a big fan of Chia Seeds! They are a great source of plant-based Omega-3's, and fiber.Plus, they are a very simple and easy to use supplement. The gel they create when you mix them in water (1 part seeds to 9 parts water) is loaded with fiber, and some people use this gel to aid in weight loss. The gel can be made and stored in the refridgerator for, I think, up to a week. I like to make a little chia gel each morning and add to my smoothie. i have been taking 2 tablespoons of chia seeds daily in my smoothies. so far i have noticed that it definitely keeps me fuller longer. it is too soon to say but i also think it is helping keep my blood sugar stable. and i love how they taste in smoothies and juices. I noted it's effects mostly when I first added it to my diet. (increased energy) It is a regular addition to my morning cereal, sometimes adding both ground flax and Chia. One noticeable quality is how I can go the day without feeling hungry. I have been taking 2tbs of Chia daily for close to two years and would not go a day without it. Be careful where you buy it from, for the price per pound ranges from $6 to about $37 and a pound will last approx one month. The $6 per pound is the one you want to buy, that way you don't have to pay a companies advertising cost! The seeds come in two different colors; black and white. There are some that claim there is a huge difference, but they are almost identical. I frequent this site often and have been amazed that chia has not been raved about. Chia seed is the great regulator of all time! It helped with my constipation, as well as my friend's chronic diarrhea. I have been reading up on the Chia seeds. I have not seen any posts on this website about this seed. It sounds like a very good energizer plus other health benefits. Has anyone used it and had positive results? EC: Thank you for the suggestion - these seeds sound interesting! i was told that salba and ground salba sold in health stores is chia seeds. they are omega 3 rich as well as fibre and protein and their gluten free, check it out!

While this still happens in approximately 20% of the largest U.S. markets, the stay-put counteroffer may be a dying trend in corporate America. In an article on Society for Human Resource Management's website shrm.org titled, Stay-Put Counteroffers Can Backfire, CFOs Say, survey data shows that counteroffers can often have unintended consequences. Furthermore, just offering more money to get an employee not to leave doesn't address the root issue that made the person want to leave in the first place. Think about that. If an employee truly enjoyed his or her job, yet felt they were underpaid (grossly that is, I think everyone feels they're underpaid to some degree), surely this employee would talk to their supervisor and ask for a raise rather than go through the effort of finding a new job that they may not like. Most likely, the employee doesn't like several factors about their position. Plus, offering more money could reinforce the perception that they were always underpaid and, therefore, resent their supervisor and/or company even more. There are better ways of improving employee retention, and if compensation is an issue within a particular market, it's best that companies review this on a regular basis to stay competitive. Other issues at play could be excessive workload, lack of teamwork, bad management, no reward system, and little to no opportunity for advancement. Obviously, companies need to improve employee retention -- especially when it comes to top talent -- but that doesn't mean they can just throw money at people and expect them to stay. Based on the survey in the article, most CFOs have already figured this out.

The fourth annual Hawaiian Luau and Classic Car Show held in Colton last Saturday was a hit with the community. The event, hosted by True Life Church, took place in front of the Colton High School. There was a free meal, dessert, speaker Brynie Robinson and live music, along with fun and games for all ages. The school yard was filled from end to end as children jumped in the bouncy house or played volleyball in the giant tic-tac-toe square. The adults strolled the grounds, greeting friends and neighbors or checked out the parking lot filled with antique cars and trucks. Clackamas Health and Human Services had a table to check blood pressure and introduce the community to what they have to offer, and the Women's Ministry had a yard sale. "It is such a good way to get friends and neighbors together," said Tim Behrens, pastor at True Life. "It brings out people, not just our community, but from surrounding areas for an evening of family fun."

Recently, Hip Hop Tamizha released a video called Takkaru Takkaru, campaigning for jallikattu to be legalized. The video is about how the bulls are considered to be like `sons', and about how banning the sport can deeply impact the local business (supporters of the sport insist that banning the sport in totality would lead to the demise of native Indian breeds of bulls), and increase the business for foreign breeders instead. There are also references as to how much the sport is an integral part of Tamil culture. Earlier this year, the Centre made an attempt to legalise jallikattu, but the Supreme Court stayed the Centre's notification in the case. After a week, HipHop Tamizha finally breaks his silence and responds to PETA's criticism of the short film. In his latest interview to Tamil Hindu, HipHop Tamizha said "PETA has asked me to stick to just making music, Even though i am in the film industry, i embarked into music for a social cause. Most of my works revolve around social issues and my last independent release "Vaadi Pulla Vadi" was also against casteism and honour killings. If PETA thinks that i as an artist should stick to just making music, then the only question that comes to my mind is, what is a foreign organisation like PETA doing in India".

This paper attempts to discuss about two topics in particular. Firstly ways in which an isolated village can be electrified and secondly the challenges associated with it. However to be able to understand the entire concept, lets first look at the definition of isolated village. An isolated village refers to a community of people living together whether in small or big numbers but live in remote distance from the mainstream population. Isolated villages are physically, socially separated from the rest of interconnected villages, cities, towns etc. The definition of isolated however is in sense of not being sufficiently near to grid. These are remote or off-grid population which needs to be connected socially through the initiation of electricity supply. Advantages: Provision of electricity supply indicates the basic connectivity and provides platform wherein isolation is minimized. Scope of education and good health options are determined. Hence electrification is a key to economic development and growth. This shall ensure socio-political empowerment of the villages. 1. Adequate supply: the supply of electricity is inadequate depending upon the small villages attached nearby using it more or less. It is found to be difficult to assess the number of isolated populations, small villages and agricultural areas in and around the vicinity where from the isolated population can be supplied electricity. 2. LowLoadDensitiesGenerators:consideringtheaboveissueisvalidinnumerous locations all over the world, it is found that the supply grid is unable to meet the needs of the population around. The generation of electricity and hence the supply is inadequate. Largely low density generators have been planted which has not been able to meet the need and quits the supply of energy. 3. Distancefromgrid:theisolatedvillagesareconnectedtothenearbyareas through the grid that ensures connectivity. But the dispersion of electricity faces difficulty largely due to the distance. The tough, terrain land, agricultural areas in between offers difficulty to sustain the supply of electricity. to degradation of the grid connections if not used or maintained well. communities that have been traced whose acceptance towards the electrification of their village is not favorable. The communities reject the idea of enforcing something that hasn't been in practice in their communities for generations. On the other side, there are communities that have been found whose response is positive but haven't understood the potential and need of electricity in their place. The next important issues found were the provision of various appliances that would allow them to utilize electricity to simplify lives and look forward towards development. Socio-political issues: there are many speculations over the world in order to provide electricity to the villages which have been isolated for years together and whose development is delayed due to many factors. The electricity that can be one source of development is problematic due to its shortage of supply in urban setting as well. Considering another important point of generating revenue. The political issues hidden in not only setting up on budget that otherwise is generated from the public money, it is largely the problem of maintenance and subsidies that are invested into development of such isolated villages. Hence there is lack of vigor and enthusiasm in the corporate and government sector as well to be able to invest thoroughly. Therefore bureaucratic delays among the service providers is one major concern when it comes to universal electrification. Financial Concerns: the government ensuring the supply of electricity is offering electricity that minimum rate possible while government itself is investing through heavy subsidies. But it is observed that the money earned from such isolated villages is not matching the minimum rate at which it is offered, resulting into non usage and wastage of entire set up of electric plant. In certain communities there are different perceptions of the concept of money while in some other, it is not so. This makes it difficult for the government to generate funds and establish a sustainable link.

Sakai America produces and supports high-force vibratory soil compactors and high-frequency vibratory asphalt rollers to the highest standards in the industry. Sakai has introduced upgrades to three of its single-drum vibratory. The Sakai SV204, SV414TF and SV544FB now feature Tier 4 Final engines and enhanced capabilities as single-drum vibratory roller solutions in drum widths 54 to 84 inches. The upgraded designs are available with either smooth (D) or padfoot (T) drum, with smooth shell kits available for all models and either style, padfoot or smooth (DF and TF), on the SV544 A strike-off blade will be available across the line as well for the padfoot drum model (TB) and padfoot with shell-kit models (FB). The new Sakai SW754, 67-inch vibratory tandem drum roller offers improved operating efficiency as well as ease-of-maintenance while retaining many of features of its successful 770-series line. Applications include both thin and thick asphalt lift compaction, as well as compaction of coarse graded asphalt mixes and aggregate base and subbase layers. EPA Tier 4 emissions compliance is achieved by an efficient 3.8 L Kubota engine offering up to 10 hours of actual run time without refueling. Sakai America's SA33L2-R Series Trench Rollers feature excellent compaction performance, a turn radius that cuts time spent on manholes in half, and a solid frame capable of surviving hurricanes. They are ideal for rental revenue opportunities. They are a well-built, durable, in-demand product that requires little maintenance. Kevin Sawyer is a quality control technician for Martin Marietta, the largest HMA mix producer and paving contractor in Colorado. He has been working with asphalt for 14 years, following 16 years of aggregate experience. It takes a special kind of asphalt roller to handle no-vibe paving jobs where structural integrity is a concern. Sakai's solution to this problem is their ND Series, featuring oscillation and vibration in both drums. SAKAI America's 700 Series vibratory (HF) and nutating (ND) asphalt tandem rollers have a sleek look and increase paving productivity by achieving density with high amplitudes, or nutation mode while leaving smooth finishes on HMA surfaces. SAKAI America's new SW880 high-frequency vibratory asphalt roller increases paving productivity by achieving density faster while leaving smooth finishes on all mixes, even the most challenging Superpave projects. Sakai's 700 Series of vibratory asphalt rollers comes in two models, the SW770 and SW770HF. The SW770 offers one frequency (3,000 vpm) and two amplitude settings, low and high (.012 and .025 inches). The SW770HF has three frequency settings (up to 4,000 vpm) and the same two amplitude settings as the SW770. Both offer a drum width of 67 inches and are ideally suited for a wide variety of HMA projects, including streets, highways, airport runways and large parking lots. Sakai's fuel saver mode allows the operator to manually or automatically set the engine rpm depending on the application, while maintaining all of the vibration characteristics necessary for compaction and smoothness on the project. This mode is proving to have significant fuel savings. The operator's station, specifically the isolation deck of the 700 Series is similar to Sakai's other roller models but has been enhanced to minimize vibration to the operator, which minimizes fatigue. The 700 Series also consists of a three-position, 180-degree rotating operator console with instrument panel and seat. This design ensures that all controls are easy to reach and gauges are easy to view no matter what position the console is in. The 700 Series also provides 360-degree visibility plus a great view of the drum edges from the operator's seat. An optional side drum light offers added visibility during night paving. Sakai America's SW990 double drum, high-frequency vibratory asphalt roller brings powerful performance to asphalt paving projects with its 4,000 vpm, Deutz engine and dual drum drive system. The SW990 offers a drum width of 84 inches and 4,000 vpm, which allows for 10 to 12 impacts per foot at 4.55 mph. This feature allows for faster rolling speeds while maintaining the proper impacts per foot to achieve compaction. The drums are also machined smooth and edges are rounded for a smooth mat surface. The SW990's powerful yet fuel efficient Deutz TCD2012L06-2V water-cooled, turbo-charged diesel engine boasts 166 hp. This engine fully complies with the current emission standards and is mounted on rubber isolators to absorb vibration. The SW990 also offers excellent traction with its dual drum drive system.

Smart-home technology should be a win-win for both the insurer and the insured. After all, data helps to cut risks. Yet, there is so much more that makes a customer wary: privacy-intrusion, too much monitoring, premium escalation etc. Blake Kozak at the IHS Technology Group wonders rightly what will help or stop home policies with a smart-home device to attain good adoption-rates. Think of smart smoke-detectors, water-leakage sensors and a lot many other smart devices that can help avert risks; albeit, at the cost of initial customer-reluctance and skepticism about an insurer's real intentions. That said, Amazon Alexa Skill, Canary, Frontpoint, Fibaro, Deutsche Telekom etc. are already in the fray. The risks they are taking here can teach others a lot about how to get the balance right. After all, we are dreaming of jumping from just 1 per cent (2017) to 7.5 per cent smart-home technology's global household penetration rate in 2022.

I can't remember a time when chronic depression wasn't a nemesis for me. As a child I often felt an overwhelming sadness and wept without understanding why. Now I'm a 67-year-old Christian college professor who still wanders occasionally into the dark fog of hopelessness. As an adult, a number of acquaintances have said things to me that frustrated more than helped. From my perspective as a conservative Christian, be wary of saying these three things to persons who are experiencing a major depressive episode. 1. Have you been having your quiet time lately? A lady in my Sunday School class posed this question after I asked for prayer during a depressive episode. I told her that I had been consistently reading God's Word and praying. Her nonverbal reaction indicated that she didn't believe me. Causes of chronic depression are too varied and complex to blame it on anemic faith or undisciplined devotional habits. I may have an upbeat day when I neglect time with the Lord, or I may have a dark day when I spend unhurried time with Him. 2. You won't be depressed when you get to heaven! This statement teems with truth. Bodily pain, vulnerability to sin, strained relationships, and a proclivity for despondency are all temporary afflictions (Rev. 21:4). But a depressed state can clog the mental and emotional receptors due to a debilitating sense of despair experienced by the despondent person. When he or she is plagued by a high humidity in the heart that smothers motivation for daily tasks, when the person can't imagine ever laughing again, the comment about heaven can come across as glib or superficial. What the person needs is your physical presence and heartfelt prayers for the Holy Spirit's comfort. The close friend who left work to come alongside me on a rough day didn't quote Bible verses to me. He understood that I could probably recite verbatim most verses he might mention. Instead, he wept for me, whispered prayers for me, and sat beside me for an extended period of time. 3. I'll pray for this evil spirit of depression to leave you. Once again, I must qualify what I'm about to say. I'm a firm believer in the spirit world, both the angelic and the demonic. Because of the vulnerable state a depressed person is in, Satan may increase his attacks during such a time. Some depression may originate from Satan, especially when the despondency is a consequence of a pattern of sin in a sensitive believer. Yet this remark falsely assumes that all depression stems from demonic oppression or attack, with the cure being warfare praying that casts out the evil spirit. But the research is crystal clear: chronic depression is often associated with a depletion of a brain chemical, such as serotonin. A predilection for depression occurs in family lines, showing a genetic predisposition. Even physical diseases such as diabetes or hypothyroidism may wreck havoc on emotions and result in an extended dark mood. Assigning a spiritual cause to what may be a physically-induced condition could keep someone from getting the medical intervention he or she needs. No matter what causes depression, prayer and other spiritual weapons must be wielded. There's a spiritual battle involved in how we respond to the despair. Will faith or hopelessness have the last word? But it's an oversimplification to blame all depression on an evil spirit. When it comes to things NOT to say to a depressed person, what would you add to this list? Terry is on the faculty of Columbia International University in Columbia, South Carolina, and is author of Serve Strong: Biblical Encouragement To Sustain God's Servants. His website penetratingthedarkness.com is an excellent resource on depression. Thank you, thank you, for expressing these truths. Since you asked, I would add that ANY verse of Scripture, used as a bullet to a depressed person is very damaging. I have struggled with anxiety and panic attacks and, when asking for prayer, been chastised "God hasn't given us a spirit of fear!" (And other verses) Adding guilt or spiritual failure to a suffering soul adds to the burden. Apart from bring in willful sin, we cannot repent from emotional anguish any more than from a broken leg. Our cry for the broken and hurting is for inner healing and deliverance. That's my cry. Thank you. Thank you! I have found all of these things to be so true also, as I've walked with a close family member through deep valleys. And even in the midst of my chronic physical illness, all of these statements that you shared apply just as well. May the Lord bless you for sharing from your open heart!

In the modern-day world of technological advancements, plumbers have also advanced their techniques of leak detection. Since most water pipes in both residential and commercial buildings are located underground, it is always difficult to identify the exact locations of leaks without using the most appropriate equipment. Furthermore, due to the existing landscaping, crisscrossing walls and concrete slabs, you need a professionally trained plumber for the job. With electronic leak detection, you will save a lot of money rather than paying for destructive and expensive digging in the name of locating leaks in your plumbing system. Electronic leak detection does not force you to break floors, ceilings and walls while finding leaks indoors or outdoors. Using the latest testing methods and most advanced equipment, such as infrared thermal imaging, spark test and vector mapping, electronic leak detection accurately identifies the exact spot of the hidden leaks. The procedure is way cheaper than buying and replacing pipes that plumbers may have destroyed during the digging. With the non-destructive electronic detection of unseen leaks, you can be rest assured that a professional licensed plumber will solve your leakage problem without further damage. To ensure that your plumbing system is thoroughly investigated even for the tiniest of leaks, you should insist on utilizing electronic equipment with the most advanced leak detection capabilities, combined with exclusive methods of locating the exact location of the leaks. These devices are tested and tried to find leaks in any location of your home, such as around the water meter, even when there in rainfall. A professional licensed plumber will always have an easy time to repair all the leaks in your plumbing system because Electronic Leak Detection traces, isolates and marks the leaking area accurately. The electronically advanced methods of detecting plumbing leaks help homeowners to save money and reduce damage to their pipes. This is because the advanced engineering procedures and high tech electronics are compatible with almost any plumbing system. Through innovative research & development (R&D), plumbers are currently using electronic leak detection methods because of their inclusive non-invasive technologies to repair your underground plumbing malfunctions in different areas of your home. Advances in electronic leak detection services include locations, such as walls, ceilings, basement floors, swimming pools, outdoor water lines, slabs, irrigation systems as well as sewers and concealed home plumbing systems. Furthermore, it is recommended that a professional licensed plumber should perform the entire procedure from detecting the leaks to repairing all of them. You should also note that this technology helps to repair leaks even underwater with impressive innovation and satisfactory performance in the long run.

La Vespa Burger Bar is a restaurant with a laid-back vibe located on Torrent de l'Olla in Vila de Gràcia, just 1 minute away from the famous Plaça del Sol. This place offers something we hadn't heard of before, Italian style burgers. We were very intrigued by the concept, so we decided to have dinner at this spot a few months ago and it turned out to be pretty tasty. That same day we also noticed that they had a fairly cheap lunch menu option available, so a few days ago we decided to it try out as well. We went there on a Tuesday afternoon to have lunch and it was definitely a pleasant experience. Type of food: Italian style Burgers. Online menu: It's a lunch menu so it varies. Type of atmosphere: During lunch time it is very relaxed. People: Eeva, Rafa and Sami. Type of meal: Lunch Menu. Average drink price: A drink was included in the menu.

So, from a metaphysical perspective what does this stone do? Well firstly like all opal or opalites, the structure is spherical rather than lineal like most other crystals. That is why opals work so well with the emotions - rather than belting down the front door with an issue they work their way around it, flow through the crevices of our protections and get at issues obliquely and hence less confrontationally. Its easy sometimes to "fend off" some crystals when the emotional issues are painful and we just don't want to deal with them - its virtually impossible to do with an opal because it just wraps you in its energy and there's no escape - so opals are never for the faint-hearted - you WILL deal with that issue no matter how strong your protections normally are. Now a little about pink opal because it is rather unique in the opal family of stones. Despite being pink its not a soft, calming "cotton wool" kind of energy - rather its incredibly vibrant and stimulating - it raises the spirits and elevates your mood. Some have described it as a type of euphoria and I suppose that's true but not of the kind where you "check your brain at the door" - its just like it attunes you to the pulse of love and produces this almost immediate shift of mood. Aside from its benefit as a mood enhancer, Pink Opal/ite teaches us not to judge a book by its cover - to set aside our preconceived expectations and see things for what they truly are. That is far more important than it sounds because our expectations (either of good or bad things happening) limit our experiences. A terrific opportunity may be staring you in the face but because of your assumptions and expectations - mostly due to the past - you ignore it, assuming that it will just turn out like all the other times. Or indeed you might expect something will be terrific because it has been before and hence jump in "boots and all" into something you should not have done. Peruvian Pink Opal/ite helps you see things as they really are - giving emotional clarity, free from judgement and past experiences - free from assumptions and expectations. It also helps in balancing giving and receiving. Often we get caught in one or the other and its not uncommon for healers to get trapped into the giving side because we feel that's what we should be doing - ignoring the receiving and depleting ourselves in the process. Pink Opal/ite helps not only to balance that but also to get us to see that both are necessary and part of wholeness - and there is nothing to be gained in being the martyr. This aspect is a manifestation of this stones ability to translate and balance. Whether its translating ebb into flow and visa versa or translating what you're hearing with your ears into what you know in your heart - or indeed I suppose translating languages. An awful lot of our lives get "lost in translation" - between people, from the higher energies to the lower, within ourselves between intent and action. This mineral helps with that process. I suppose that's all summed up in saying that Pink Opal/ite helps us to release the distortions and see things (particularly emotions and love) from a clearer, more balanced, and truer perspective. And when you see that, you can't help but smile. Size (mm): 23 - 30mm (width, thickness, shape and color does vary and is not necessarily the same as the crystal shown in the picture).

As Florida's largest region along the Gulf Coast, Greater Pensacola's economy is a generator of new businesses while also attracting business and industry worldwide. The region is home to more than 500 companies, a strong manufacturing workforce and experienced entrepreneurs. The Pensacola region offers a cost-effective alternative to many other competitive business locations. Land, labor and capital are more affordable than in many other regions of the U.S. which cannot compete with the natural beauty and livability of the area. In addition, FloridaWest works with growing businesses to lower the cost of location or expansion on competitive projects in targeted industry sectors. For large scale projects meeting certain criteria, special funding may be available to support needed infrastructure improvements or workforce training. In the 2017 Tax Foundation State Business Tax Climate Index Florida ranks 4th in the nation. The Index compares states in five areas of taxation that impact businesses. Florida's leadership understands that taxes impact business decisions, job creation and retention, plant locations and expansions, ability to compete, and most importantly, taxes diminish profits. With a competitive corporate tax rate and no personal state income tax, Greater Pensacola is an attractive area for business investment and growth. A progressive state business climate ensures that the region will remain a magnet for existing and expanding businesses. We understand that businesses need certainty, predictability and efficiency in government regulations.

The modern music festival can be traced back to Woodstock in 1969, where 400,000 hippies converged to pay homage to peace and love while listening to legends such as Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. It was a pivotal moment in history and sowed the seeds for a cultural ritual that continues to thrive. Over the next few decades music festivals began to flourish across the globe. Although each one was dedicated to a specific genre, be it rock, alternative or jazz, their ultimate goal was the same – to bring together like-minded people to share in their passion for sound. By the mid-noughties, a new generation of music lovers were looking for a new experience altogether and festivals were extended to multiple days over consecutive weekends. No longer reserved for the disenfranchised youth and countercultures, they became mainstream and open to all. Fashion also plays a starring role as festival style became a major phenomenon. The focus moved offstage as attendees started to express their personal style in a range of looks that would become huge trends, be it boho hippy or rock chic. Whether you go for the art or music, there is no doubt that music festivals will continue to tap into the cultural zeitgeist for many generations to come. Pastels are making a comeback!

In 2000, Rush Strong Elementary School implemented a recirculating sand filter to treat their low-flow wastewater effluent. The existing wastewater treatment system was producing effluent that did not meet the regulations of Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC). Jefferson County School System requested that Rocky Top Water Solutions create a design that would bring the school into compliance with TDEC regulations in a cost-effective manner. In order to satisfy this request, the team developed multiple alternative designs. These designs consider the client's preferences and employ a multi-criteria decision matrix that was used to evaluate the alternatives based on four criteria categories derived from a triple bottom line sustainability analysis: cost, operation and maintenance, efficient technologies, and feasibility. This analysis yielded a recommendation of a 100% recirculation rate during low flows to account for summer breaks, where there is no influent flowing into the system. It was also recommended to add a modification filter layout so that the laterals can be continuously cleaned, as these systems are prone to such complications as clogging. With the proposed system improvements, it is believed that the school's effluent will comply with state regulations and the system will work in an efficient manner.

Trailing 18-6 shortly after halftime, the Panthers levelled the scores with 11 minutes to play. Hopes of icing the fightback were dashed however when Chad Townsend nailed a field goal seven minutes from time. Panthers coach Cameron Ciraldo is sad to bow out. Cronulla will face the Melbourne Storm next week for a spot in the final.

In the past I have been a little critical of Oracle's support notes and documentation regarding the use of Advanced Format 4k storage devices. I must now take that back, as my new friends in Oracle ASM Development and Product Management very kindly offered to let me write a new support note, which they have just published on My Oracle Support. It's only supposed to be high level, but it does confirm that the _DISK_SECTOR_SIZE_OVERRIDE parameter can be safely set in database instances when using 512e storage and attempting to create 4k online redo logs. Don't forget that you can read all about the basics of using Oracle with 4k sector storage here. And if you really feel up to it, I have a 4k deep dive page here. It's a brave thing, calling something the "Ultimate Guide To …" as it can leave you open to criticism that it's anything but. However, this topic – of how Oracle runs on Advanced Format storage systems and which choices have which consequences – is one I've been learning for two years now, so this really is everything I know. And from my desperate searching of the internet, plus discussions with people who are usually much knowledgeable than me, I've come to the conclusion that nobody else really understands it. In fact, you could say that it's a topic full of confusion – and if you browsed the support notes on My Oracle Support you'd definitely come to that conclusion. Part of that confusion is unfortunately FUD, spread by storage vendors who do not (yet) support Advanced Format and therefore benefit from scaring customers away from it. Be under no illusions, with the likes of Western Digital, HGST and Seagate all signed up to Advanced Format, plus Violin Memory and EMC's XtremIO both using it, it's something you should embrace rather than avoid. However, to try and lessen the opportunity for those competitors to point and say "Look how complicated it is!", I've split my previous knowledge repository into two: a high-level page and an Oracle on 4k deep dive. It's taken me years to work all this stuff out – and days to write it all down, so I sincerely hope it saves someone else a lot of time and effort…! This is going to be another one of those posts, a bit like this one, that discuss the use of Oracle's database product with Advanced Format devices. I wish there weren't so many of these posts, but it seems that Oracle has a lot of issues with it's implementation of 4k support. In the last post I built a database which used Oracle ASM (and the Linux ASMLib kernel driver) but found that if the database used an SPFILE which was located on a 4k device (within an ASM diskgroup) it didn't work. Today, I'm going to forego ASM and use a filesystem instead (something I would never do in real life). Finally, we I am going to create an Oracle database using this filesystem. I'm not going to cut and paste all the output for that, because it's all a bit dull… so let's just skip to the bit where DBCA has completed and the database is open. ASYNCH: enable asynchronous I/O on file system files, which has no timing requirement for transmission. DIRECTIO: enable direct I/O on file system files, which bypasses the buffer cache. SETALL: enable both asynchronous and direct I/O on file system files. NONE: disable both asynchronous and direct I/O on file system files. Normally, when I see filesystem-based databases, I find this parameter set to SETALL. This means asynchronous and direct I/O, but here it is set to NONE which means neither. And it's the DIRECTIO that we are interested in. The answer, which you can find in My Oracle Support note 1133713.1, is that Oracle does not support 4k devices with direct I/O. This has been the case for a long time – I remember first discovering this nearly two years ago, on 11.2.0.2, yet there is no sign of it being fixed. According to the note, "It is not yet known in which version this support will be available." Pah. And then there's the diagnostic destination. How about if I choose to locate this on a 4k filesystem? I'll give it a few minutes and then go and look in some of the files… guess what I see? So let's be honest, things aren't going all that well here. There are still a lot of things that do not appear to work properly when using 4k devices. Luckily, my Violin array can present storage as 512 byte to avoid this sort of issue, but really I feel that Oracle needs to get cracking on its Advanced Format support. This is not just a flash memory thing, pretty much every major disk vendor is making Advanced Format devices now from Western Digital, through HGST to Seagate. Time to get with the programme? This article is about the use of Advanced Format devices on Oracle's ASMLib kernel library for Linux. For background, read this page on 4k sector sizes first, otherwise it might all sound like nonsense. Mind you, it mind sound like nonsense anyway, I can't guarantee anything here. By the way, a big hello to my buddy Nate who asked for this information: you rock, dude. The important bit there is highlighted in red. This device has a 4k physical blocksize (as all Violin devices do, as well as many other modern storage systems) but has a 512 byte logical blocksize. Essentially, this LUN is pretending to be a 512 byte based. Now that's all well and good. Operating systems and applications that cannot support 4k block sizes (e.g. Red Hat 5 and Oracle Linux 5) will happily use this, because they believe it to be 512 byte. But later versions of ASMLib have started being too clever for their own good. What happened? Well, ASMLib has looked behind the smoke and mirrors and decided that this is actually a 4k device. It's therefore presenting this to Oracle ASM as 4k, which causes the problem (because I explicitly asked for sector size to be 512 byte on this diskgroup). [oracle@half-server4 ~]$ fdisk -l /dev/oracleasm/disks/TESTLUN | grep "Sector size" So that would work. But it would lose many of the claimed benefits of ASMLib such as reduced file descriptors and context switching. Also, it feels like a hack. Finally, a word of warning. If you are like me, then you are a bit stupid and can't follow instructions properly. I set the value of the parameter to TRUE in upper case and then spent hours wondering why it didn't work. The answer, to my embarrassment, is that it's case sensitive. TRUE is not a valid value so it defaults to false. Doh.

Springfield renters insurance keeps those who are renting their homes from learning a very costly lesson. That is the lesson of losing everything within the home and not having a way of replacing those items. Although material things, material things are expensive items that everyone works for to make life simpler. You cannot control some things that happen to your rental house or apartment. This is truer for those living within apartment buildings. The reason is because you have no control over the actions of the people who live inside. In other words, you could pay dearly for the actions of someone else in the building. Someone else in the building could cause a fire. They may not put out the cigarette before falling asleep, may forget to blow out a candle, or may even leave the burner on after cooking something on their range. Those in the Springfield, OH building with renters insurance will be able to get back on their feet faster than those who don't have this very important Ohio coverage. There are a number of perils that are covered under your Springfield renters insurance policy. These perils can include lightning strikes, power surges, water leaks, fire, and a number of others. You may also need to add coverage on to your Ohio renters insurance if you are susceptible to something such as flood and it is not a part of your default policy. Of course this can add to your premium, but is well worth it to not have to pay out of pocket to replace your items. As for how the replacement of your material belongings works under your Springfield renters insurance, you have two options: You can either opt for the actual value of the property now or you can opt for replacement value. Some in Springfield like the actual value option because the premium is lower, but that means the minimal payout will be received. Those who choose replacement value can get what they paid for the item when they bought it. For instance, your television that you paid $1,000 for that is now valued at $500 can receive a reimbursement of $1,000 because that is what you paid for it. It is rather simple. You just have to make sure you go through all of your belongings before you get your renters insurance in Springfield, OH so that you know what you have that needs covered. For example, you live in a townhouse on a lake and you want to purchase Springfield renters insurance to protect your belongings. You want to take an inventory of everything within the home so that you can calculate the value and purchase a renters insurance policy that will reimburse you for your loss if it occurs. Even if you're living in a nice home such as a townhouse or even a condominium, the risk of something happening is always there. It is also important to keep in mind that the weather in Ohio can be rather unpredictable. You live within the state, so you know what kind of weather can occur in Springfield. Make sure you protect yourself against the strange weather patterns that occur when looking at renters insurance quotes. What this means is that if something happens to the condo itself, that damage can cause damage to your belongings. Another great feature of Springfield renters insurance is that you can be living in a loft and if something happens that it is uninhabitable, you can find a loft elsewhere. The rent and any other living expenses are on the dime of your Springfield renters insurance. Even though you have the renters insurance coverage on your contents, which will make getting back on your feet easier, you also need Springfield renters insurance to help you find another place to live that is comparable to the one you and your family been living in. So what you do is you contact your Springfield renters insurance and you tell them that you need to access the part of your policy that enables you to pay your living expenses. The Springfield insurer will then tap that part of the policy for you. You will need to specify everything that you need to ensure that the proper allotted amount is provided, but there are limits in place in this area. The good news, however, is that this part of your renters insurance in Springfield is usually more than enough. So whether a student living in off campus housing or a senior citizen in a new apartment, Springfield renters insurance can provide you with protection. Many in Ohio who rent are acquiring it because of the protection offered. They are doing it because they don't want to learn a very expensive and emotionally challenging lesson like so many before them have.

The Minus is a breakthrough in conception, technology and design. An architectural lighting solution which requires less than one inch (25mm) of ceiling recess without sacrificing performance and design. With its smallest aperture of just .4" (10mm), Minus produces a discrete lighting effect, virtually glare free and capable of producing an output of over 1000 lumens from source. But it is the daring innovation – the desire to save overhead space – that is the genius of Minus.

The American company TurboTax, which develops software in the taxation field, has entered into a cooperation agreement with CoinsTax to present joint services to the crypto owners, as follows from a press release. TurboTax opens a new section with the tax report option for crypto traders just at the time when the US IRS announced the deadlines for filing tax returns. The new solution will be obtainable in version 2018 Premier and higher. Using the service, clients will be able to import information on trading straight from the Coinbase, Gemini, and Poloniex trading platforms. After calculating income, tax data is loaded right into Form 1040, Schedule D. CoinsTax owns the Bitcoin Tax app, which allows customers to make calculations of the income and losses of a trader when trading bitcoin. According to CoinsTax chief Colin Mackie, the new section will simplify the filing of tax returns and preserve clients sufficient amount of time. Taxation of crypto owners sometimes causes certain difficulties. The United States have long sought to streamline this procedure. In October 2018, the Advisory Committee at IRS called on the office to develop a document on crypto transaction taxes. Ohio was the first state to allow its residents to pay taxes using bitcoins in November 2018. As previously reported, the Coinbase crypto exchange provided its users with an educational resource that will help them pay taxes.

In my early twenties, I was having difficulty talking with my husband about the hard stuff in our relationship. I took a leap of faith and went to New York City to take a course from an enlightened man named Oscar Ichazo from Chile. I learned an important life lesson from him: observing the self is the key to personal development and successful relationships. Self-observation—or being conscious of our self-talk—helps us become aware of the messages and stories we make up about others, and the messages, beliefs and perceptions we have of ourselves. Critical or judgmental self-talk that fosters negative messages about ourselves or others often creates conflict. When we are unconscious of the messages we are saying to ourselves, the results can be destructive to our relationships at home or at work. The more mindful we are the better chance we have of healthy and constructive communication. Messages creating destructive dialogue cause defensiveness and confusion. In many cases our self-talk is the source of our own conflict. Most people believe their perceptions are reality and their views are correct; and if someone else has a different perception, they are wrong. "I'm right, you're wrong." You can get into an arguing spiral of "Yes you did" …... "No I didn't." Most people don't stop to ask questions about the two different points-of-view on the situation. Being curious and willing to understand differences helps us listen and resolve conflict. Metaphors provide powerful clues to help us step outside the position of "I'm right—you're wrong" patterns. Here's a great story about a young father having problems with his 13-year old son. He changed this relationship pattern so he could listen to and understand what was important to his son by turning himself into a DVD player and hitting the pause button. When he stopped trying to convince the son he was wrong, the father learned new information that changed his perception. His empathy for his son increased. This created what is called a "mind shift" for the father. He bridged the gap between their differences and they came up with an outcome that was surprisingly good for both of them. This new way of talking improved their relationship and set a new pattern to talk about the hard stuff. These metaphors could mean people are feeling betrayed, vulnerable, not valued or acknowledged, to name a few emotions. Focusing on and being curious about what is underneath the statement fosters understanding. Think of a conflict you had in the past that didn't end well. What metaphors would you use to describe this conflict? How would you describe the situation now? Your language will reveal clues about what was troubling you. Instead of being abandoned, you might have felt it was important to you to spend more quality time together, as opposed to saying "You don't care about me." Which message would be more helpful or useful? One position is blaming and the other states what is wanted or needed. I will leave you with one of the more recent things I learned from Oscar at a workshop in Hawaii. I asked him, "If you are an enlightened communicator do you still have conflicts?" His response was, "Yes. You just get off it quicker." Developing self-observation has been a valuable practice both in my work as a mediator and in my relationships. Over the years that I have been teaching this theory, I think this concept holds up. I have also learned from my personal and professional life that defensiveness often hijacks our best efforts to manage conflict. It is too easy to believe our movie is more correct than the other person's movie. Changing these patterns is life work and self-observation helps when you're in the labyrinth of the hard stuff.

Described by its leaders as "the non-profit for non-profits," Go Frankfort has its roots in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Brad Thomas and a group of friends wanted to do something for their community but weren't sure what. Gradually, they discovered the many needs of non-profits. "There were a lot of people doing a lot of great things," said Thomas, who is now president of Go Frankfort and works in the state economic development cabinet. Over the years, the group has built picnic tables, painted murals and built retaining walls. Saturday's array of projects reflects the group's versatility. Teams painted a railing at a community center, helped underprivileged kids shop with the cops, and cleaned overgrown weeds from Greenhill Cemetery, a still-in-use black cemetery where some historical sections have fallen into disrepair. At first, other non-profits seemed uncertain of what to make of Go Frankfort, said another organizer, Sarah Jon Gaddis. "I don't think any of them thought we were going to follow through," said Gaddis, a geologist and business owner. But they did and, over time, they found a way to help the non-profits and discovered ways for those groups to help one another. For example, a non-profit that replaced lights on a Frankfort T-ball field donated the old lights to the Josephine Sculpture Park for use in its amphitheater. "It's good for them to learn that they are a part of something that is so much bigger," said another Go Frankfort organizer, Greg Hardison, who works for the Kentucky Historical Society. Aside from the work days, the group also puts on twice-a-year fund-raising dodgeball tournaments. Teams dress in costumes, and victors are awarded the "Golden Wrench," an homage to the Ben Stiller movie Dodgeball. "What I am proudest of is the way people have become engaged," said Thomas, who said the Go Frankfort model could easily be replicated in other Kentucky cities. On Saturday, a busload of Kentucky State University freshmen came out to help, and many ended up at Greenhill, cutting thick vines from fences and cleaning debris from grave sites dating back more than 100 years. A group of students is researching a long-forgotten paupers section and hoping to erect a plaque to honor those dead. "I think the people who are buried here deserve respect," student Chantler Jernigan said. "We all came down to make sure that they had a nice place to rest in peace." Lindsay Barnes, a teacher at Capital Day School in Frankfort, was glad to have a chance to help in her community. She brought a troop of eighth-graders to paint a railing at the Kings Center, a community center. "I hope they have a better understanding of not only what is in their community and in their greater community but how they can give back," she said. One of her students, Medora Jones, 13, said, "We get to do something that helps people, and it just feels really good when you are done. Plus, we get our 15 hours of community service, which really helps. We need that to graduate."

The Malta Individual Investor Program (IIP) was introduced by the Government of Malta by virtue of Legal Notice 47 of 2014, paving the way for a new vein of foreign direct investment into the economic and social development of the country. Successful applicants under this program are bestowed the privilege of Maltese citizenship by naturalization under discretionary grant of the Maltese government. Upon receiving approval in principle, the successful applicant must satisfy various investment conditions, chief amongst which is a monetary contribution to the Maltese Government, payable into the newly set up National Development and Social Fund. The minimum investment which can be made individually under the Cypriot Programme is €5 million, unless he opts for the collective investment scheme, whereby he can invest €2.5 million, as long as he participates in a collective investment scheme with a total value of at least 12.5 million, together with investment in property of at least €500,000. On the other hand, the total cost of the Maltese Programme totals to €1.15 million for the main applicant, together with a contribution by the spouse of €25,000 and €50,000 for every unmarried child between 18 and 26 years and dependent parents, making it the more attractive scheme between the two from a cost perspective. Whereas the Cypriot Programme, applicants are not required to live on the island prior or during the application, or after the citizenship has been granted, the Maltese Programme necessitates evidence of a genuine link with Malta and citizenship is granted after 1 year from effective date of commencement of this genuine link with Malta. Thus, considering mainly the rather demanding investment requirements under the Cypriot Programme, compared to the Maltese, overall, the latter seems to be the most attractive. Please contact us for further details. All the services can be tailored to meet your requirements. View our Malta Individual Investor Programme online brochure.

Cacao nibs are minimally processed pieces of the cacao bean. While being used in making chocolate for centuries, they have grown in popularity in the modern culinary sphere for other purposes. Cacao nibs are deliciously nutritious little morsels that not only add an intense chocolate flavor to foods but also a subtle crunch. Learn where they come from and how to use them in cooking. The word cacao and cocoa be thought of interchangeably. The cacao bean (actually a seed pod) comes from the Theobroma tree, which is also known as the cacao or cocoa tree. People have been enjoying the culinary benefits of the cacao tree from around 1400 to 1500 BC in Mesoamerica. Artifacts from ancient Aztecs reveal that a beverage made from cocoa beans had been consumed, but it was unsweetened and much different than the hot cocoa beverage we think of today. Cacao beans were also used as currency across Mesoamerica, prior to the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. Today, cocoa beans are grown in tropical regions of the world that are in a narrow belt 10 degrees on either side of Equator. The main producers are in Brazil, Ecuador, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Cote D'Ivore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Cacao nibs are simply a part of the cacao seed, or bean, that has been harvested, fermented, dried, cleaned, roasted, cracked, and then removed from the shell. This results in cacao nibs, which are ready to enjoy as is, or more often ground into a smooth paste which is known as chocolate liquor a very important ingredient in chocolate making. Cacao nibs have all the benefits of eating dark chocolate, without the added sugar. They are high in fiber, protein, and antioxidants, and contain the same mood-boosting chemicals and lipids that make a bar of dark chocolate so darn satisfying. You can purchase cacao nibs online, and they are also available from many natural foods and specialty shops as well as making their way into well-stocked grocery stores. Add some pizzazz to your morning oatmeal by adding a teaspoon or two of cocoa nibs for a fun texture and chocolate boost. Put a few tablespoons into a chocolate smoothie to make it even more chocolaty. Create an easy dessert by melting 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips along with 1/4 cup peanut butter. Mix in a tablespoon of cocoa nibs and spread it onto a silicone mat. Chill for 20 minutes in the freezer for a delicious treat. Stir them in a delicious tomato-based sauce and allow to simmer. Once cooked, blend them in a blender until smooth and use as a pasta or enchilada sauce.

Goodwill isn't a balance sheet item that most investors give much thought to, but with $9 billion of Amazon.com Inc.'s (AMZN) Whole Foods Market purchase price coming from goodwill, they may want to think again. "It's a very significant premium for a company that's in an old industry like grocery shopping," said Atwater in the CNBC report. "The issue is going to be whether strategically they can create the value that is now reflected in the balance sheet in the form of that goodwill." Much of the concerns when it comes to goodwill lies in the acquisition not being a success. But judging from Amazon's commentary on that front, so far it's off to a good start. On a conference call to discuss fourth-quarter results with Wall Street, Amazon Chief Financial Officer Brian Olsavsky said Whole Foods had an operating profit and was the main reason the company had $4.5 billion in physical store sales. According to Forbes, Olsavsky said it was "slightly better" than the e-commerce giants past guidance. He said the company is focused on lowering Whole Foods prices more than initially.

Exhibition of work by more than 50 artists from all backgrounds - to highlight the support for this project from a broad artistic community and to raise money towards set up costs. Hart Club is a Community Interest Company (CIC) and new gallery dedicated to inclusively championing neurodiversity within the arts. Neurodiversity is a term we choose to use in reference to artists typically labelled as having learning disabilities and Hart Club is dedicated to championing how their differences can positively impact creative output. Hart Club works closely with existing charities and organisations who run long-standing creative facilities to provide a platform for the results to be publicly exhibited. The gallery's aim is to obtain creative and financial recognition for these artists and to seed funds back into those services.

The Madonna Collection: Ariel Pink on new album: "They need something edgy" Ariel Pink on new album: "They need something edgy" Is Madonna going indie on her next record? According to Ariel Pink, Madge is looking for a change in direction and has enlisted the LA-based singer to help write the followup to 2012's EDM-centric MDNA. "Interscope are calling me to help write Madonna's record," Pink revealed in an interview with FL's Doug Wallen."They need something edgy. They need songwriting. She can't just have her Avicii, her producers or whatever, come up with a new techno jam for her to gyrate to and pretend that she's 20 years old. They actually need songs. I'm partly responsible for that return-to-values thing," he explained. While he had a lot to say about Madonna, Ariel Pink also spoke at length to FL about his own forthcoming record pom pom, which is due out on November 18 through 4AD. Labelled a "solo album" the record follows 2012's Mature Themes which was released under the Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti moniker. pom pom features 17 tracks including 'Jell-O' and 'Plastic Raincoats In The Pig Parade' which were co-written with the Runaways former manager Kim Fowley.

Inspection of oxygen breathing apparatus used in a Ginowan hospital when a patient fell into coma in March, revealed that there was nothing wrong with the machine. Police and hospital officials investigating the accident initially thought the machine had malfunctioned. Now investigators are focusing on a possible mistake by a nurse and negligence on part of the hospital. Relatives of the patient, who still remains in a coma, claim that the hospital nurses administering the treatment failed to monitor the patient properly. They claim that the patient had been left for two hours without anyone checking, and was discovered unconscious only when a new shift of nurses started work.

Top 3 suggestions for a great summer! Here in Quebec, we absolutely cherish and take full advantage of our summers. Hot temperatures bring a lot of people to the beach, long days entice us to get ice cream after supper and long weekends are perfect for picnics in the park. These activities are essential for a memorable summer, but despite getting out of the house, we can end up being quite sedentary. We want you to get the most out of your summer activities, and here are our tricks so that you can do just that. Some of us like getting tanned during the summer months and tanning on the beach is not the only way to get that sun kissed glow! We encourage you to get moving in the sun by playing volleyball with your family, frisbee with your friends or going swimming with the kids. By taking the time to move, you'll feel much more energized while also taking advantage of that beautiful weather! Much like beach days, we encourage you to bring your favorite game to play with the family while waiting for the food to cook. If the park is near your house, you can always walk or take your bike instead of the car. Although we know that for some people, chips are the perfect picnic snack, we also recommend bringing an assortment of vegetables, their high water content and refreshing crunch are extremely satisfying to your taste buds. We are the first to say that ice cream during the summer is an absolute must! Instead of driving to the ice cream parlor, walk there and back to enjoy it to the fullest! Or when preparing the cones at home, fill the bottom with fresh blueberries or raspberries before adding the scoop of your favorite ice cream. We wish you a summer to your liking!

We all know that a Green City is no more an option, but a necessity now. We have seen technology helping out most of the social problems so far. So, it is no other place that we can look for a hopeful nod, other than technology to help in creating a Green City too, I guess. There has been a lot of efforts taken by the environmentalists for maintaining the planet green, but menacing operations like tree felling and the greed of compromising the environment to real estate has now crossed all the limits. Can you suggest ways, how technology can intervene and stop this self-destructive habit and take some positive measures against it? You can also share the latest news on Green Projects that you have come across or anything that you feel that would be relevant to this issue. This is more of social problem than technical. Honestly speaking making apartments on every square inch out there is not going to make any city green with one garden added in between the apartment. That won't sustain the requirement of the greenery that can adjust with oxygen requirement of this nation. So the real estate market needs to be controlled. As they are going after the hill station and also nearby small villages. They are pretty much being parasite on the green region of this planet. Even if there is no need for the residential plots, even then they are making it fake need and mining the place. This is how pune lost its green region. And now the real estate is moving towards nearby villages and the cities. The same can be said about bangalore and nearby regions. Technology can't create lost species which are at the brink of extinction. It can't even create the various plants and herbs that are dying out due to environment issues. How to stop this? Only population control can limit this. Technology can't create nature. Because if creating nature were to be possible, we could have seen the nature being terraformed on mars too. We are 20 years away from that to happen. So in between we have no other choice than to force the population limit to stop ruining the planet. But retaining what we still have is possible. And technology is only a tool for human society. As medical science, agricultural science and environmental science stood by social problems, they can do the same for this too. It's only the willpower, the mindset that needs to create the pressure of making a green city. And technology can help in the process by materializing the will to make it a win. I do not think technology can lend any helping hand unless the mindset changes. The impetus on profitability has been causing havoc with nature. You cannot expect technology to work wonders and you can go on killing everything that is green. Technology can only help you if you are ready to make amends to the mistakes that have been committed in the past. Instead of that, what we have been seeing is more damage to the nature. Interesting. Technology is one of the reason for non-Green city and polluted atmosphere though technology is need of the hour. Now, technology has to work back to get the Green city across which is not an easy task but challenges as well. Why? One can't replace the earlier natural one from the latest artificial one easily with the help of any source including technology innovation or gadget etc. For example, the green and natural source field changed to tallest building, official premises, residential and commercial complexes, now, who can replace them easily and practically? This scenario not only in cities but town and few villages across. Is it possible to stop expanding cities? Will authority take care of it? Even if it is stopped, how will get back the natural places (Green city) where already extended and developed and destroyed the greenery? There are many question raises on this. It is too late to plan on this, however, one can plan for current and future development for such infrastructure. We all know that the damage is done. But it was not technology which has done the massacre, it is the twisted preferences of the human society which puts illogical greed in front of the simple logic of survival. Technology is only a tool which you can make use for whatever you would be doing. It is only a way of reducing manual tasks into automated ones. So, if technology has helped in destroying the paradise, it would be the only one, which can help in retrieving it back. How? 1. Technology has already done a good job in tracking, identifying and record keeping. So technology can help tracking the number of tree felling in an area, it can keep record of the pollution level of a particular place and can create alert and help in identifying the culprits. 2. It can invent methodology of making constructions without interfering with the natural resources. 3. Agricultural science and technology have joined hands where big trees can be transplanted to another place. So even if a particular place needs to be vacated, the trees of that place could be saved through transplantation. 4. Social media is also a part of modern technology, and through this we can create wonders by spreading awareness among people on this issue. 5. Solar and other renewable energies can save the planet from further damage and that can be incorporated with the construction industry. That will help in reducing the network of wiring in the city, because of which a huge amount of trees are sacrificed. 6. Lastly, in this thread itself, though we all have expressed our different opinions, we all share a common attitude towards the current situation. And it is evident that many more will be out there who share the same view about this menacing real estate, as we do. So can't we join hands and outnumber these self-destructive people and stop them doing further damage to the world? Rather than the technology, it is the human greed that has destroyed the greenery. Sadly enough, they took the help from technology and we now stand a chance to blame the technology for the loss the the green cities. There are many ways with which greenery can be restored. Roof gardens can be a good example. One should not forget that it was technology that made this possibility a reality. Opting for bio fuels has been a resourceful idea that came from the technology. Only thing is we have got used to certain style of life and doing things. Unless that changes, you can not expect technology to work wonders for the restoration of the greenery. Let there be enthusiasm and real interest to restore the greener cities. Technology can always lend a helping hand. Technology can help in some of the things but the issue is that has affected the nature. And nature is something that technology can't recreate. For example, we can purify the air to some extent but can't make the air that helps nature. Because nature has it's own way to manage the air density and help the biodiversity. Technology can't be helpful to make the rain either. That is why the country often suffers from either drought or the flood randomly. And this can't be controlled in any way. It all takes time for technology to evolve. And we have to focus on the things that could help nature rather than destroy the nature. I think technology can't answer the problems created at much rapid rate. This means the problem symptoms need to be taken care of at first place. Because if we destroy the nature and then focus on technology to fix the problem then we;d be in utopian society that we used to watch in movies few decades back. Technology should be answer to problems and should not be problem itself. Human can be greed only for some cases which destroy the nature, obviously, and can't be avoided easily or immediately. For example, even though technology and computers or advanced gadgets like (Tablet PC, Smartphone etc.) are there for content or text but still human needs 'Paper' which destroys the nature directly or indirectly on its process (cut the tree source to make a paper). Do you think, it can be stopped immediately by 'Go Green initiative'? That is exactly we need to take care of. When we have such a huge number of gadgets, why do we turn back to the old style of taking notes? Same goes for Banking. I do not clearly understand the need for using paper in the banking transactions. I make it a point not to choose an option to get a receipt at an ATM when I make a withdrawal. I never use checks to make payments anywhere. I make it a point to make all payments through electronic transfer. I have also set all my bills to the email mode. That is exactly how we can use technology for the benefit of the nature. Instead of blaming others, we can ourselves begin with something, right? Do you think Government will accept it and process the various stamp and registered paper through just e-document (e-paper / e-register) without required actual physical stamp paper? If so, when they will initiate this one, I mean just e-document without real paper? I know that they are doing it both (e-document and physical stamp paper since few years). In case if Bank stopped the paper work then there will be many issues including hacking and on. The latest development of e-registration, e-check, e-deposit or withdrawal and on though help but Bank needed paper for physical proof including from the beginning registration of Pass book to using for a long and closing or settling the account. One of the safest process is paper too as proof. The next one is, like we receive pack and parcel from online shopping sites, items within 'corrugated box' which produced from natural wooden pulp and paper process? Do you think they will stop corrugated box manufacturing? When? In case if they stop one product or two then the other few new products will release which also again related to nature's help and destroying the nature, slowly. There are many questions as such pertaining to nature and destroying it by using its source. With the responses here what I am feeling is, we are losing hope too soon. We are writers and we have the power of words, logic, understanding and freedom of thought and expression. If we lose hope who else will raise it? Moreover, in a vibrant site like Techulator, it is expected that we do something to synchronize technology with everyday issues as well as social ones. We are tech savvy people who are almost 24 hrs in touch with information technology. There are many initiatives running across the globe to correct the mess that have been done through ages. I expected that we would pull all these pieces of information here and create an awareness that "Going Green IS Possible even Now". Not to lose hope. I understand everyone's concern including myself against the nature's incident, we can only concern and write the reality that is happening around and it doesn't mean I am against the nature or its process. I just put forward few points those in fact destroying the nature from some process directly or indirectly, may be there will be more as such that I am unable to recall at the moment. Yeah, we can bring forth some more points likewise as an awareness which can be of helpful to overcome from such an issue to move toward Go Green initiative. Friends, I have jotted down some hopeful ways technology has been working towards the Go Green initiative through an article. Please post your comment there, whatever you feel about it. The article you have written is more important to know by everyone. The transportation of tree is really good innovative idea in technology. In past, we won't have this kind of method to shift one tree to another place. Instead we cut the trees. This cause the age of tree gets down and new born plant will starts growing. The cloud seeding is more useful idea. It helps artificially making rain in particular area. Naturally it is not possible, but artificially it could be. The eco friendly construction technology popularly knows as Go Green. This makes eco system more useful in humanity. Building houses in trees is well known idea. We usually cut trees to build house. Instead use tree as house for friendly nature. Each and every idea really makes technology a good come back for human needs.

He faces Coldplay in the album category while the band is also nominated for best pop group performance for their collaboration with The Chainsmokers on Something Just Like This. Bruno Mars took home album of the year for "24K Magic", record of the year for the single of the same title and song of the year for "That's What I Like". Jay-Z, the leading nominee with eight, walked away empty handed Sunday - a year after his wife lost album of the year to Adele, causing fans and peers to criticize the Recording Academy for not properly rewarding Beyonce's bold "Lemonade" project. He was joined Sunday by U2's Bono and The Edge, and also Dave Chappelle - who told jokes in between Lamar's performance. Double winners included Jason Isbell, Justin Hurwitz and CeCe Winans. McEntire won an early Grammy for best roots gospel album for, "Sing It Now: Songs Of Faith & Hope". Lamar last performed at the Grammys in 2016, where he appeared in a prisoner uniform and chains, then rapped in front of a towering bonfire for To Pimp a Butterfly cuts "The Blacker the Berry" and "Alright". Childish Gambino, the alter ego of actor Donald Glover, won his first ever Grammy for "Redbone" which was named best traditional R&B performance. The ceremony has been billed as a battle between Lamar and Jay-Z with both nominated in the bigger categories including album of the year. And the Grammys are nearly guaranteeing that this year will be historic: Four of the five album of the year nominees are rap and R&B-based albums from black or Latino artists. Mars also danced his heart out on stage with Cardi B in their performance of "Finesse." The album also was named best engineered album, which recognizes the work of sound engineers. If Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's smash hit "Despacito" had won Song or Record of the year, it would have marked the first time a Spanish language track won in either category. Cara said she was wearing a white rose to show support to women not just in the entertainment industry. Last year, Kendrick delivered one of the most memorable performance of the night. The awards were given out before the three-hour televised show got under way, as celebrities including Lady Gaga, Elton John and Lana del Rey made their way down the red carpet in NY.

We are pleased to also announce the Health Policy & Advocacy section on the ASPHO website where you can access Advocacy Brief issues and other relevant information. On the morning of May 17th we set out on Capitol Hill to meet with our respective Congressmen, Congresswomen and Senators. As the sole member of the Massachusetts contingent this year, I made my way to each office to either request support for the STAR Act or to thank the teams of the many who have already signed on. The collective effort put forth on this rainy day resulted in signing on a majority of House Representatives (the bill currently has 247 signatures) and a notable number of Senators (22 signatures). Childhood Cancer Action Days and the work by the Alliance for Childhood Cancer demonstrate the power of collaboration. By bringing together advocates, patients, families, physicians, and many more to develop a collective "ask," we were able to walk into the offices of our nation's leaders with a bipartisan-supported law that has the potential to impact the lives of thousands of patients and families affected by cancer. To be effective in moving forward with increased funding and support for patients, families, clinicians, and researchers alike, we must continue to work collectively. As researchers and clinicians of ASPHO, we lend a unique perspective that compliments the stories and experiences of patients, survivors, and families, and can therefore lend additional weight to argue for government support. Establishment of the FDA Oncology Center of Excellence: New center will unite cancer product regulatory review to enhance coordination and leverage the combined skills and clinical expertise across FDA centers. Establishment of Fast-Track Review for Cancer Treatment-Related Patents: This will allow any applicant to opt into an accelerated review program for patent applications in select fields of cancer therapy. Making Clinical Research Trials More Accessible to Cancer Patients: The National Cancer Institute is re-designing how patients and oncologists learn about and find information about clinical cancer trials. This will include making clinical data hosted on cancer.gov available through an application programming interface (API) to advocacy groups, academia, and others in the cancer ecosystem. Need to create incentives for pediatric cancer drug development if significant promise in children but not in adults. ASPHO joined with other members of the Alliance for Childhood Cancer in supporting the Advancing Drug Development for Childhood Cancer: Policy Principles to Optimize the Pediatric Drug Laws. This report provides recommendations on possible modifications to the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act (BPCA) and the Pediatric Research Equity Act (PREA) to be more effective in the development of new therapies for pediatric cancer. The recommendations include such items as expanding the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) authority to require pediatric studies for new agents in development for adults under certain conditions when the indication is not the same in adults and children and encouraging earlier pediatric discussion for drugs for serious and life-threatening conditions. The BPCA and PREA were permanently reauthorized by Congress in 2012 with the requirement that the programs be reviewed every five years. The first review has been completed and a report was due to Congress in July 2016. The FDA has indicated that they are in support of some of the recommendations put forth in the Alliance's report in order to strengthen both BPCA and PREA. ASPHO joined with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and other pediatric and patient advocacy organizations in endorsing the Ensuring Children's Access to Specialty Care Act (H.R. 1859/S. 2782). This legislation would amend the Public Health Service Act to include pediatric subspecialties in primary health services on the list of eligible providers for the National Health Service Corps loan repayment program. ASPHO joined other healthcare providers in a letter of opposition to sections of the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act. The sections in question have the potential to eliminate pediatricians, ob-gyns, and other providers from the Military Health System as well as certain Department of Defense Graduate Medical Education programs that do not directly support combat operations of the United States military. ASPHO was invited to join two coalitions related to Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) including the Sickle Cell Disease Coalition (SCDC) and the Emergency Department Sickle Cell Care Coalition (EDSC³). SCDC is being convened by the American Society of Hematology (ASH) with the mission of helping to amplify the voice of the SCD stakeholder community, promote awareness and improve outcomes for individuals with SCD. The coalition will focus on promoting research, clinical care, education, training and advocacy, and will be comprised of public health, research and provider organizations, patient groups, faith-based organizations, federal agencies, and funding organizations. EDSC³ is being convened by the American College of Emergency Physicians and will focus on the dissemination of research findings and the education of emergency care providers on the appropriate management of SCD patients. The coalition will also support advocacy efforts at the federal, state, and local agencies, support outreach and educational efforts to patients and families, and develop appropriate performance metrics to improve the emergency care of patients with sickle cell disease. With not much time left on the legislative calendar, Congress is continuing work on a Fiscal Year 2017 budget. Of specific interest to ASPHO is the passage of the Senate and House committee versions of the Labor, Health, and Human Services (LHHS) budget which includes several provisions related to pediatric hematology/oncology. The Senate and House budgets vary on spending levels and will need to be sent to conference committee to iron out any differences. Agreement on a spending bill needs to be made by October 1, 2016. It is likely that Congress will not pass a full budget and instead pass a continuing resolution to maintain funding at the current level for Fiscal Year 2017. The bipartisan 21st Century Cures Act was passed by the House of Representatives in July by a vote of 344-77 (170 Republicans and 174 Democrats). Provisions of the bill include reform of the current standards and appropriations for biomedical research, an increase in funding for the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration, and a reduction of the regulations on access to medical research and the testing processes of new drugs. The Senate has been working on its version of the House bill, the Innovations for Healthier Americans Act, and has been taking a more piecemeal approach by holding committee hearings on individual sections of the legislation. A hearing held on March 9, 2016, included the passage of the Advancing Hope Act of 2015 (S. 1878) which reauthorizes the pediatric drug voucher program implemented through the Creating Hope Act. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) expects a vote on the bill after the November election. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a proposed rule in March 2016 that would make significant changes to how physician-administered drugs are paid under the Medicare program. The proposed Medicare Part B Drug Payment Model would test whether changing the add-on payment to 2.5 percent plus a flat fee payment of $16.80 per drug per day changes prescribing incentives and leads to improved quality and value. The underlying reason for the proposed rule was to take some sort of action to address rising drug costs. The proposed model was met with support from patient advocacy organizations but with major concerns from the hematology and oncology community, including the issues that the "demonstration project" would include all providers and suppliers furnishing and billing for Part B drugs without first beginning with a smaller subset of providers to test the model as well as absence of stakeholders in the development of the model. Members of Congress also have concerns with the model and the Senate Finance Committee recently convened a hearing to question CMS' Chief Medical Officer on the specifics of the model. A bill introduced by Congressman Larry Buschon, MD (R-IN), would block implementation of the proposed rule. CMS has indicated that they will not publish a final rule until 2019, which is the latest they could publish by statute. Many opponents of the rule are seeing this as a win and there still is no indication from CMS on whether or not they will consider tabling the proposed model altogether.

The SDRAM Cycle Length BIOS feature is same as the SDRAM CAS Latency Time BIOS feature. It controls the delay (in clock cycles) between the assertion of the CAS signal and the availability of the data from the target memory cell. It also determines the number of clock cycles required for the completion of the first part of a burst transfer. In other words, the lower the CAS latency, the faster memory reads or writes can occur. Please note that some memory modules may not be able to handle the lower latency and may lose data. Therefore, while it is recommended that you reduce the SDRAM CAS Latency Time to 2 or 2.5 clock cycles for better memory performance, you should increase it if your system becomes unstable. Interestingly, increasing the CAS latency time will often allow the memory module to run at a higher clock speed. So, if you hit a snag while overclocking your SDRAM modules, try increasing the CAS latency time. Whenever a read command is issued, a memory row is activated using the RAS (Row Address Strobe). Then, to read data from the target memory cell, the appropriate column is activated using the CAS (Column Address Strobe). Multiple cells can be read from the same active row by applying the appropriate CAS signals. However, there is a short delay after each assertion of the CAS signal before data can be read from the target memory cell. This delay is known as the CAS latency. The appropriate delay for your memory module is reflected in its rated timings. In JEDEC specifications, it is the first number in the three or four number sequence. For example, if your memory module has the rated timings of 2-3-4-7, its rated CAS latency would be 2 clock cycles. Because column activation occurs every time a new memory cell is read from, the effect of CAS latency on memory performance is significant, especially with SDR SDRAM. Its effect is less obvious in DDR SDRAM. This is particularly true for DDR SDRAM memory since CAS latency has much less effect on performance with such memory, compared to the older SDR memory. The improvement in overclockability with higher CAS latencies cannot be underestimated. If you are interested in overclocking your DDR SDRAM modules, you might want to consider increasing the CAS latency. The huge increase in overclockability far outweighs the minor loss in performance.

Cooler than last week!, big clouds in the sky. This was Friday July, 26. about 10 A.M. I'm standing at the door of the "Cathedral" it's a shed in back of the cabin, It's Ned's shed, the work shed, I use it when I'm there, so there I was and here's the view of 6th Lake and the "bay" and bridge to the boat house. Why not, do a small study to try and get the values and the colors right? The camera simplifies, but there's so much more there. The camera really does "read" the world differently than the eye., or being there. So there's a lot more to it than just simplifying, but I don't think it's nameable. This was fun to do; a sketch, quickly before things change too much. As the morning wore on, the light moved into the picture, it added interest, but was hard to chase. I had to stop, because I'm not adding anything, I'm just chasing it and getting nowhere. This was Saturday July 27th My 174th painting since the great re-boot. Here is where the princess enters, the princess is a 12' aluminum boat with a 3 hp Johnson, 1962 (I think) Alane gave it that name probably around 1964, and we are yet to call it the Queen. I'ts the boat in last week's blog. and I took it to get here. I landed at Arnold's rock, north shore of 7th Lake, and hiked down the path along the lake between camping lean-to's and found this spot. There were so few openings that when I found one I had to see if I could make it work, yes, it could. Except here is where the horse fly's come in and bite the hell out of me. The first block in. I was trying to keep the darks dark enough and I think I got it. Here is where I ended up, although I worked on it a bit back in the Cathedral, I'm not sure what to think about the graphic- hard- edged quality of the tree in front of the lake. It too had it's challenges and I like to see where it is that I'm able to work it. So ended the Adirondack big three week extravaganza that included lots of fun for all. I'll be back soon, but there's nothing like a decent chunk of time at the cabin. I'm exhausted, but happy.

More undergraduate students at the University of Maine have the opportunity to take part in innovative research. This experience carries through into their graduate studies and careers. The Maginnis Lab has students who started their research as first-years and continue it as graduate students. Melissa Maginnis, assistant professor of microbiology, oversees the lab and enjoys mentoring student researchers and watching them excel throughout their academic careers. Ashley Soucy, a doctoral biomedical student, began as a student research assistant in the Maginnis Lab on her first day as a UMaine undergraduate. She believes the passion Maginnis has for research sparks interest in students across all academic levels to become active members of the scientific community. Maginnis opened the lab in 2014 to study the human JC polyomavirus. She says 50 to 80 percent of the population carries the virus – but healthy humans will not show symptoms. The virus resides in the kidneys but will migrate to the brain in an immunosuppressed person and cause progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), which damages nerves and is fatal. Funding allows the lab to offer undergraduates a chance to conduct research and receive stipends. Maginnis has had students funded by the Center for Undergraduate Research (CUGR), the Maine Space Grant Consortium (MSGC), the Radke Undergraduate Research Fellowship and had grant support from the UMaine NIH Proposal Submission Incentive Program. Maginnis usually has a wait-list of students eager to work in the lab each year. Five graduate and three undergraduate students currently work in the lab on individual projects. Maginnis believes undergraduate participation in research, presenting at symposiums and conferences, and working as a team in the lab provides students with invaluable experience. She encourages them to practice communicating research to the public and build strong foundations for their careers. CUGR recently released a trend in upward numbers of undergraduates seeking fellowships and research opportunities. Almost 800 undergraduates presented their research at the 2018 UMaine Student Symposium. The Maginnis Lab will submit eight graduate and undergraduate projects for this year's event. The Maginnis Lab has been funded by the Maine INBRE through the NIH-NIGMS from 2014-2019. Ashley Soucy won the award for "Best Undergraduate Presentation in Biomedical Sciences" at the 2018 UMSS and was supported by a CUGR Summer Research Fellowship, Maine INBRE Summer Fellowship, INBRE Junior Fellowship, and Senior Fellowship. From her work in the Maginnis Lab she earned a second authorship on a paper recently accepted for publication in Journal Virology as a Spotlight article of significant interest.
