A young man who is not doing fine in his business or work, dissatisfied with his present condition, and driven to frustration because he believes his competitors have outran him, visits a popular prophet in his town. He hears the stimulating and energetic charismatic sermons that promises health and wealth; he is told that God has ordained every man for greatness in life, and that if they are not experiencing the fulfilment of these great promises in their lives, it must be due to some forces from the shrines.
In the middle of the enthusiastic sermon, the prophet points to him, mentions his name and describes the challenges he is presently passing through. Then he announces to him that one of his uncles took his name to a village shrine and invoked the forces from that shrines to rise up against the young man. At once, the young man believes it.
What next? The prophet lays hands on him, anoints him with anointing oil to break the yokes of darkness over his life, and further directs him to observe the days fasting and prayer. He is told that during the period of the three-days fasting and prayers he is to read some portions from the book of Psalms, and that he should bind and destroy any power from the shrine working against his destiny. The young man begins his fasting and prayer the very next day, and enters into war with the forces from the shrine that has been invoked against his bright destiny. Anything contrary to what the prophet told him must be false. He has found the root of his problems in life, and he must fight it to the end.
Before he finishes speaking, the young lady Cynthia walks towards the pastors with tears in her eyes. She weeps for joy that finally, God has revealed the power behind her delayed marriage. Now she believes that in not less than 3 months from that time, she would be married. If after 3 or 4 years she remains unmarried, it must still be that her stepmother went and submitted her name to another shrine the pastor destroyed the powers of the first shrine. Can sister Cynthia ever receive anything contrary to what she has been made to believe?
But what saith the Scripture? Does the Scriptures hold forth to us that forces from the Shrines can oppress a person’s life and destiny?
Jeremiah 10:2-6 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
They cannot do evil: So prophet who makes people to believe that these shrines and idols are behind the evil occurrences in their lives are nothing but liars. Shrines and idols cannot do evil, nor can they bring about any evil. Therefore, it is a useless prophecy and revelation when anyone attributes to them the powers they do not possess. What is evil, but the opposite of good? All the evils that ever befell men in the Scripture were from the hands of God. The earth drowned by a flood, Sodom and Gomorrah melted to ashes, Sarah’s barrenness, Rebekkah’s barrenness, Rachael’s barrenness, Hannah’s barrenness, the Ten plagues of Egypt, Job’s loss of ten children and livelihood, all these evils came from God. “Shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?” (Amos 3:6). “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things” (Isa 45:7).
Baal, the most revered idol in the Bible time, had his shrine and altar turn down by Gideon, and Joash (Gideon’s father) had to remind his kinsmen that Baal was mere fiction of the depraved mind, or else he should fight for himself.
Isaiah 8:11-13 For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
The Lord warned his servant Isaiah not to walk in the ways of the people around him, nor should he entertain the fear of idols which they entertain, rather he should fear the Lord and sanctify him.
We challenge any controverter of this truth to show us a single passage in the Scripture where evil or harm was brought about by an idol or any spiritual force from the shrine.
If a man, a woman, or anyone reasonable creature, finds himself or herself in an unpleasant situation, let him lift up his eyes to the heavens, humble himself, and justify the Judge of heaven and earth, and let him plead for mercy at his hands. With him is life and death, health and sickness, light and darkness, good and evil.
In future I hope to add more to this post and expand this material, but for the meantime, if this short post has helped anyone to see the truth, God be glorified.

The vast majority of kitchen sinks include two basins, however it’s also potential for them to solely come with one. When selecting a kitchen sink that solely has one or two basins, you might need to look at your needs. For those who don’t have a dishwasher, you will have to wash your dishes in your kitchen sink. When doing dishes, it may be simpler when you have a two basin kitchen sink. Though two basin kitchen sinks are more convenient, you will seemingly find that the one basin sinks are more fashionable and, somewhat, more engaging.

You know, sometimes I used to kick myself when at a function and someone would invariably ask “So, what do you do?”, and automatically I launched in to terms like infrastructure management, managed services, virtualisation, IT procurement…ho hum….are you bored yet? Probably.
People aren’t really interested about what business I’m in, they genuinely want to know what it is we do. Like, really, what do we ACTUALLY DO? Now that I understand this my answer to the question in much better: We help small and medium businesses be more successful through using technology. Specifically, we help businesses outshine their competition, help employees collaborate and be more efficient, unchain workers from their desks, allow access to information from anywhere at anytime, give business owners more time and help them cut costs and manage cash flow. Wow, now I understand how to communicate my marketing message better, and don’t sound like an uber-geek, people actually want to talk to me at functions!
Now, getting back to the point, sometimes people ask “but how” because they can’t make the link between, say, how computers can manage cash flow. Of course it’s not just about computers anymore, it’s about a myriad of technology solutions out there that can be leveraged for an overall business improvement.
Sometimes you just have to think outside the box. Today I was discussing cash flow with a client, so….
Improving efficiency: Yes, an oldy but a goody. Some small businesses simply struggle with cash flow because they don’t send out invoices or chase payments often enough, so by implementing some automation around office administration, this problem can be solved. This can be as simple as using Microsoft Office applications more effectively, integrating processes and applications to avoid double entry of data, for example.
Cutting down on travel: It’s so easy to cut costs by replacing travel with communication and conferencing technologies, many of which are very cost effective and some even free. Not every meeting has to be face-to-face and often the same results can be achieved over a web conference.
Cutting down on fixed line phone calls: Phone calls across the internet (VoIP) are cheap and the technology is becoming more reliable. This is especially effective if you have multiple offices – for a basic solution you could just start with Skype in your offices and make sure staff use this for “internal” calls between offices.
Cutting down on office space: Rent is often the major expense for small businesses, especially in the beginning. With the technology available today, there are some employees who may be able to work just as effectively from home as they can from the office, allowing you to downsize office space and freeing up extra cash every month.

We’ve talked about building worlds and creating in-depth characters. Even our secondary characters have backstories now. Our stories are written and edited. Now what? Before you submit, there is still an important step to seeing your work in print. It is the dreaded F word. Now, get your mind out of the gutter because that’s not what I meant. I am talking about formatting. But wait, you say, how do I figure out what I need to do for formatting. That’s what I’m here to talk about—submission guidelines.
First, let’s consider submission guidelines in general. It is critical to understand submission guidelines because this can be the make or break point for your work. As an editor for Mighty Quill Books, that’s one of the first things I look at and, yes, I’ve rejected work for lack of following submission guidelines. I understand this may seem petty, but following guidelines tells the editors about how well you researched your plan to submit to them. It also reflects on your ability to follow direction, and helps editors focus more on content than trying to puzzle out a million different formats. Also, it can provide evidence about how easy you will be to work with as an author should your piece be selected for publication.
Now, let’s review some specific submission guidelines to understand the ins and outs of what is being asked for. Here at Our Write Side, we have two slightly different sets of guidelines—one for the literary journal and one for the annual anthology. The basics for both sets of guidelines follow the standard short story format, often referred to as Shunn’s or William Shunn’s format. This includes one-inch margins, Times New Roman or Courier 12-point font, double spaced, and headers on each page—except for the first page. These requirements are set up this way because it makes it easier for the editors to make notes and to know how much room your submission will take in the publication. In the age of ebooks, it makes importing your file into the master file much easier to do.
Next, make sure you’ve double checked what file formats your preferred publisher accepts. While this may seem picky, it is critical because you want to make sure the editors can open your file. They will not take the time to ask you to resubmit it if you get this step wrong. For Our Write Side, we accept .doc, .docx, or .txt file extensions. Another common file extension accepted is the .rtf file. Be safe and double check in case they have something you may not expect as their preferred file extension.
guidelines again for other submission requirements. This is a place where the guidelines here differ. For our literary journal, the expectation is that your email subject line read Inquiry/Your Name/Name of Piece. In the body of the email you’re asked to put in your name, bio, word count, and information about the piece. However, for the annual anthology submission, the email subject should read Inquiry/ (Insert the name of the current anthology)/Story Title. In the body of the email, you’re asked to write a synopsis and word count. Why the difference? Because with the anthology, the word count is generally much higher than in the lit journal. This means to read every submission in its entirety would take a significant amount of time. The synopsis requirement lets editors make sure your story is close to what they are looking for without spending as much time on it. The shorter pieces are not as time consuming to read through, which is why the lit journal does not require a synopsis.
Don’t think you’re done with submission guidelines at this point. There are also guidelines out there for novel synopses, back blurbs, cover letters, and the like. It is getting more common in the submission email, publishers ask authors to add a comment to acknowledge you’ve read the submission guidelines and you’re not spamming every publisher out there with your story. When you think you’ve gotten everything formatted according to the guidelines, do one more thing. Go back and double check that checklist. I hate having to reject an author’s story because the guidelines were not followed.
Hopefully this has helped you understand how to think about and understand submission guidelines. They can be the make or break point for a piece being published or rejected. What other questions do you have about submission guidelines? Hit me up here or on my blog—where you can also find my social media links—and ask them. If I don’t know the answer, I’ll find out for you.
Submission guidelines are like early contracts! I remember hearing a story that Van Halen had in their performance contracts that they were to have a bowl of M & Ms on their prep table, with all the brown M & Ms removed. They said it wasn’t because they were divas but simply to see if the venue actually read the contracts in their entirety.
I know, for me, when I get submissions from authors for guest posts on my website, and they are writing about the business of writing, I just toss them. I clearly state in my description that more than 80% of my audience are readers only. Readers don’t want tips on marketing. They don’t care. Most groups don’t have submission guidelines to be difficult. (They aren’t Van Halen.) They do it to help you provide their audience with the best experience so that you are more likely to get something out of it as well.
When an author does an interview and doesn’t send me their bio and links, I don’t include it. Why? Because I don’t have time to track all that information down for every submission. And if it isn’t there, my readers aren’t going to end up following you. You lose out, not me. Not my audience. You.
Exactly. Following submission guidelines is a win-win for everyone. And if you’re not certain, go ahead and ask! That will leave a much better impression than taking a guess and getting it wrong.

Lightly sand the cabinets with nice grained sandpaper. The old paint really should not be completely eliminated; only produce it scuff up so the paint can adhere easily. Use a damp rag to wipe the cabinets down to get rid of dirt dust and dusts. Let it dry. Work with a zipper tape to close down the region that will not be painted.

(July 1, 2008) When you think about the well-being of your company - you must look at the big picture, your one and five year plan and just for fun build in some succession planning. Short term thinking will be the death of us all. CIO Insight is running a pertinient series by Gary Perman on retaining IT Execs. The opening article is below with a link to the series.
IT professionals who aren't groomed for executive roles are more likely to leave, leaving companies companies at risk of creating gaping holes in their organization.
Businesses usually shed talent to reduce overhead during an economic slowdown. Despite the subsequent infusion of talent into the employment pool, many companies hunt for skilled workers at a frenzied rate and, surprisingly, cry that they can't find the talent they need.
One reason for this contradiction is that many employers have not groomed and trained their employees for larger roles. As a result, they've created a chasm between employees and management.
Another problem is losing valuable employees to advancement opportunities at other companies. Recession or not, employees are jumping ship for better opportunities.
Lack of advancement is one of the primary reasons for employee turnover�a fact exploited by headhunters looking to "poach" disenchanted employees stuck in dead-end jobs. When I ask employees and business leaders what they look for in a new opportunity, rarely is "money" given as the reason someone considers leaving their employer. The answer is almost always the lack of career advancement opportunities.
"I have left a job and have known many who have left their jobs because the hope for advancement was limited or nonexistent," says Pete Murray, formerly a technology service manager with Goodyear. "It just doesn't have to be that way!"
Small firms feel the pain, too, particularly when they begin to grow. For years, Brian Dixon, health IT manager, and his colleagues at Regenstrief Institute, an Indianapolis healthcare organization, explained the risk to top management, but only now are they starting to listen.
"We started with an employee survey of our programmers, analysts, software engineers, project managers, IT support and help desk folks," Dixon says. "We asked a lot of questions about staff satisfaction (job, morale, if one is listened to by others, compensation, if the organization is a good place to work); management (whether our management team has made decisions that positively affect the organization, responds to internal issues appropriately, provides leadership); training and skills (access to opportunities for improvement and the tools needed to do your job); equity (I am treated fairly); communications (too little, too much); and environment (harassment, diversity). For each area, we used a five-point Likert scale to measure responses."
This brought the issue to the surface very quickly. In response, Regenstrief had several meetings with managers to discuss the outcomes of the surveys, and established a committee to work on solutions. "We are now working to change annual reviews to include career paths," Dixon says, "and top management is listening to our ideas on how to foster an environment that allows employees to grow into new roles in order to stem the tide of unhappy campers."
If this is such a widespread, common issue, why do companies shed their training experts during tough times? The simple answer is that executives believe they must drive down costs; everything else is secondary, as far as they're concerned. Pressure from investors to see a return on their investment�no matter what the cost to the overall health of the organization�also drives executives to make these short-sighted decisions. Amazingly, 60 percent of all companies have no succession planning of any kind, according to the Society for Human Resource Management in Alexandria, Va. Read the Series.

That’s on top of the insidious loot crate mechanics. While it’s purely cosmetic based, for now, data mining has hinted weapon drops will be coming in loot crates soon. Call of Duty: WWII really isn’t a good enough game to justify those costs.
Headquarters feels like an unstable attempt at Destiny-fying Call of Duty, but the amount of online multiplayer content available will help people overlook flaws and perhaps allow for future iteration. Call of Duty: WWII is a solid entry, but it feels more safe and standard than it should, especially standing next to its peers that took similar ideas and did more.
WWII marks the first time I felt like I could get a grip on Call of Duty's multiplayer since Black Ops 2, and the most fun I've had with it since Modern Warfare. It's a familiar feeling, but a comfortable one. If the matchmaking settles and if it can maintain a PC population larger than than a small town in North Dakota, then WWII could be a great Call of Duty for anyone bothered by the direction the multiplayer was going with the complications futuristic warfare rolled in.
If you were worried that Call of Duty would not deliver on the promise to go back to its roots, please try the game! I was skeptical, especially after the beta. I thought there was no way it could happen. I was pleasantly surprised to find out they made good on that promise.
Fantastic graphics and presentation. Headquarters is an impressive social hub and the less traditional elements of the campaign work well. War mode is great fun. The campaign is too clichéd in terms of both characters and overfamiliar set pieces. Multiplayer gameplay has no real new ideas and gets old quickly. Too few maps for War.
In terms of bringing old-school Call of Duty up to modern standards, Call of Duty: WWII does fairly admirably, but at the same time every end of it feels like something is missing. The campaign is a tour and spectacle of the terror and intensity of the conflict as the Allies fought their way into to the Eagle’s Nest, but the forgoing of nearly all outside perspectives in favor of an all-American campaign feels narrow in comparison to previous COD outings that have tackled this subject matter.
Einsteiger bekommen jetzt klare Ziele vorgegeben: Aktiviere die Geistkraft-Maschine, setze die Waffe zusammen oder öffne die Bunker-Tür. Das Lösen dieser Aufgaben erfordert nur wenig Knobelei.
Les roses sont rouges, les violettes sont bleues et Call of Duty est Call of Duty. Les promesses n’engagent jamais ceux qui les font, seulement ceux qui les croient. Ce quatorzième épisode devait être celui de la révolution et ce n’est pas le cas. Ou alors seulement si la révolution consiste à réutiliser un concept d'il y a quinze ans en réintégrant un système de santé aussi vieux que le jeu vidéo lui-même.

New EP "Summer Solstice" Now on iTunes!!
Running Late was a little surprised when Sony Music's Sound and Image Showcase named them as a top 32 global emerging artist in 2012; but this talented group of college students and their eclectic neo-90's alternative rock/pop sound have been building a following in the New Jersey scene since they began performing in the summer of 2009. Today, following the release of their critically acclaimed debut album "Better Late Than Never" and winning the 2015 NYC Hard Rock Rising Battle of the Bands competition in Times Square, they have gained thousands of fans across the country and continue to share the stage with some of the biggest names in the music industry.
Despite being overjoyed in having so many fans throughout New Jersey, Running Late have their sights set on continuing to perform throughout the tri state region and eventually tour throughout the country. But most of all, the band cherishes having the ability to bring something familiar yet different to every new listener. "For me personally" says Mike, "we've met so many people who come up to us and say things like 'this is the kind of music I love, why isn't anyone else playing it?' and I believe I speak for everyone when I say that such a comment makes a life in music worth living".
Thanks for the connection guys! Great tunes!
Thanks for the friend request. Am pleased to welcome you on my page!
Refreshing new sound. I'm diggin it! Thanks for the add!
Thanks for the invite... you're sounding good!

I picked up these two pairs of web straps recently and was wondering if anyone has any ideas what they were designed for. The first set is British, measures 12 inches, and is marked 'MECº 1940', while the second set is Canadian, measures 10 inches, and is marked with a Canadian broad arrow. The British pair has a set of web retaining loops as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Remember to keep in mind that web straps had applications beyond just infantry web equipment. These straps could be related to communications equipment, ammunition packaging and securing equipment to vehicles to name but a few. These web straps were also used by all three services and could be employed for any number of applications.
Ahhh...those interesting unknowns. I have a small box of mystery web myself.
Thanks guys, I guess they would be quite handy in a number of uses!
In the book EQUIPMENT OF THE WWII TOMMY by David B Gordon page 31 he pictures and lists a multitude of different size and shapes of webbing belts. The straps that you posted are pictured as well. They are listed as general purpose straps that can be used to secure equipment and so on.
David Gordon has written a series of 3 book covering WWII Commonwealth countries Weapons, Equipment and uniforms. In my opinion they are the most comprehensive books on the subject that are out there.
It's definitely one of many reference books that I still need to get.

Well, I’ve been in a holding pattern the past few days on the Asanuma base plate. Need to get out in the cold and buy some parts for the mounting system. The plate itself is dimensioned and milled. Just need to get to Ace for hardware.
And, while at Ace, I’ll be picking up parts for the long-mothballed Seneca View 8×10 project camera. When the Asanuma base plate is done, the work ceases until the bellows come in. Unfortunately, I haven’t sent the original ones off to Sandeha yet. I’m the bottleneck. So, I have to move on other projects.
A beautiful Eastman Empire State #2 whole plate view camera, complete with extension rail, sliding tripod block, and just about everything it needs. Just some minor repairs and TLC for this one – new ground glass, some rail work, refinish, polish the brass. And a new handle.
‘Cause I need more projects.
I was hoping to get some advice. What do you think is a good finish for wood used in a camera that is going to be used outdoors? On my current project I have been using a linseed oil and bees wax 50/50 mixture but am now thinking it is not robust enough, esp for against water.
I am considering spraying varnish after reading about it here, but have two concerns from my inexperience. Will it crack with wood movement and also make everything bigger dimensions. The second concern is will it adhere to wood already treated with some wax. What do you think, I would appreciate any advice you might have?

Me and my husband needs to take our 4 year old to the doctors for autism. And we don't like to eat out. Can someone helps us with figuring out some food that can be in a cooler. And is fast to make, or make ahead meals.
I have stayed in a few hotels as a vegan. I try to make sure to get a room with a refrigerator and microwave or access to a kitchenette. I mostly premake meals and pack them along. But I might bring some dry oats or couscous, cinammon, and packets of stevia, maybe some rasins. I just have to add a little water to the oats or couscous in a bowl and microwave them and add the stevia, raisins, and cinammon for a nice hot breafkast. And have a mango or apple or banana on the side. Another filling snack/breakfast is a soft tortilla rolled up with a nut/seed butter inside. Or vegan fat free refried beans and salsa and a leafy green in it.
Dishes I make ahead and keep in a cooler or the refrigerator: sauteed tempeh, fresh pineapple, and brocoli over brown rice or millet; vegan potato salad and/or coleslaw; chana masala over millet; red lentil dahl over rice; garden salads with beans, fruits, veggies, tahini dressing; tempeh cabbage saurkraut sandwiches and roasted sweet potato fries; falafal patty mix (from Fantastic Old World); homemade soups such as vegan split pea, black bean tomato and veggies with hot spices, vegan chili. Premake a bean dip and make some homemade bread and have bread and dip and microwave some frozen vegetables on the side. I eat lots of raw fruits, raw vegetables that keep without refrigeration such as cauliflower, carrots, snap peas, mushrooms; raw nuts and seeds to snack on while out and about, even raw whole dates. I bring along smaller cartons of plant milks too. I sometimes make my own energy bars or muffins ahead of time to have on hand for snacks or breakfast. Hope this helps!
make some baked goods to take with you.
pasta salad or similar dishes are pretty good for such occasions.

Car Review: 2016 RAV4 Cruiser | | A Wheel Thing.
Toyota‘s RAV4 is the car most recognised as kicking off the SUV craze. As most small cars have done, it’s increased in size and tech. But has the recently facelifted RAV4 kept up with the most important of all, the times? A Wheel Thing checks out the new look 2016 all wheel drive in top of the tree Cruiser spec. The facelift mentioned brings the RAV4 more into line with the Corolla. The front has the angular, sharp nosed look, with the compressed and chrome lined air intake design plus large-ish T symbol front and symbol but also has the chin that wouldn’t look out of place on a Superman actor. The headlights have slimmed down and have lost the four dot LED driving lights, gaining, instead, a full width setup. It’s brought even closer to the Corolla by slotting in lookalike tail lights complete with the neon light look.
Coinciding with the drive being apportioned is one of the display options shown in the centre of the dash, being the proportion of power being sent to the four corners. Under normal driving, it’ll light up the front tyres but when punted hard, the display shows how much drive is sent to the rear. There’s a price to pay for that exuberance, however, and that’s 11.4L of 91 RON being slurped for every 100 kilometres in an urban cycle from the sixty litre tank.
It’s tractable enough and the six speed auto it twirls is a delight with the slickness and imperceptibility of the shifts. Under heavy acceleration the gears wind through nicely and on a downhill run will downshift until the fourth gear which, depending on the length of the slope, will hold that ratio.
For every silver lining, there’s a cloud: the brakes lack feel and in one almost emergency stop, the car “locked up” rather than having ABS kicking in. There’s a need, much like the Ford Ranger and Everest, to push down too far before any semblance of grab makes its way back to the driver’s brain. And, unlike Holden’s SV6, as an example, there’s no feel of progression, with no sense of increasing retardation the further down the brake travels.
The interior seems almost old school compared to the freshen up the exterior has received. The sweep of the lower section of the dashboard almost intrudes into the driver and passenger’s personal space plus the switch gear just doesn’t have the same feel of modernity that something like the Corolla has. The feel of the plastics lacks the tactility that other mainstream Toyotas have and the stitched leather look just doesn’t seem to gel with the rest of the plastics used. The somewhat lacklustre look is highlighted further when the sunroof is opened, bringing the outside in. There’s plenty of tech, as you would presume: pretensioning seatbelts, airbags all around, bluetooth streaming, satnav, the LED screen in the dash, parking sensors, reverse camera, DAB radio with a punchy 11 speaker sound system including a cargo section mounted subwoofer, but only the driver gets an electric seat, rather than both front pews. There’s blind spot monitoring and autonomous braking to add to the safety package as well. Room wise it’s a more than comfortable four seater but if you’ve three adults needing the back seat, like many cars of this size, it’ll be a tiiiiiight squeeze. Maximum width is just 1845 mm, but there’s plenty of leg room thanks to a 2660 mm wheelbase inside the 4605 mm overall length. There’s machine made leather cladding the seats, a fold out and down cup holder for the rear seat whilst the front of the centre console lodges a holder right underneath the bottom sweep of the dash, slightly slabby squabs and no print to the material. The look is….not of a high quality and drags down the overall presence. Sensibly, though, Toyota has eschewed carpet and fitted rubber floor mats instead. They’re easier to clean and far more hard wearing and durable.
It’s a good handler, however, with the 235/55/18 rubber providing plenty of grip, translating into precise movements from the steering wheel. There was, though, a slight propensity to understeer in ninety degree turns, with the nose not tracking as tightly as expected. Ride quality tends towards the firmer, almost sporty, inclination, with almost no float, feeling tight and tied down.

Design Build is on the rise and BIM has an essential role.
An article in Construction Dive stated that Design Build (DB) is on the rise and compared it with Design Bid Build (DBB), currently the most commonly-used project delivery method in the country, according to the Lean Construction Institute of America. From a Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) perspective, the rise in popularity of Design Build makes complete sense. If you’re not familiar with BIM or VDC; BIM is an integrated design and construction process where all project participants contribute to an intelligent central 3D model of the asset. VDC is the analysis and evaluation of BIM data for items including coordination (clash detection), construct-ability, logistics, scheduling, cost, and other aspects of the project’s delivery.
BIM can enhance DBB and DB’s standings as two of the most frequently-utilized contracting methods. When BIM is used in Design-Build projects, it really showcases its ability to decrease costs, shrink schedules, and improve overall project quality. It also expands project teams’ capacity to take into account aspects like sustainability in the design and construction process. This is based on Design Build’s ability to increase the collaboration between the design and construction teams. At its core, BIM is a collaborative process, providing the DB team with the perfect platform to evaluate, present, and document ideas. In addition, it gives the combined design and construction team the ability to build much greater detail into the model earlier in the process. This enables better decision making and increased capability to evaluate different design options against cost, schedule, quality, and sustainability without the need for the back and forth that typically happens in the Design Bid Build environment.
McGraw Hill’s Smart Market Report Green BIM looked at the Shanghai Tower as an example. BIM enabled the design of the most efficient structural frame for the super-tall tower. Running simulations and gauging the impact of the taper and rotation of the tower, lead to new design configurations, which reduced the wind load by about 24%. This reduction made it possible to keep the building stiff using less steel, saving energy and materials. An added bonus was the cost savings as each 5% reduction equated to roughly USD $12M in savings on this particular project.
The growth in Design-Build coupled with BIM couldn’t come at a more important time for the industry and the world. Consider the United Nations has stated it is expected that more than 2.5 billion people will move into urban centers over the next 30 years. To support this growth and double the number of buildings on the planet, it is clear that we need to adopt more efficient, faster, and sustainable ways to construct buildings and infrastructure to support the demand.
Other advancements like the connected BIM environment are driving DB teams to more project efficiencies and increased collaboration. Connected BIM consists of integrating Cloud-based design and data management applications such as Autodesk’s BIM 360 Docs Design and Construction software. It enables geographically disparate teams to work as if they were co-located.
By maximizing the blending of contracting methods, BIM processes and Cloud-based technologies, the construction industry is poised for massive increases in productivity while simultaneously improving quality, decreasing risk, and ultimately delivering the best project outcomes. Leading a firm that has for the past 25 years focused on integrating process and technology into the design, construction, and operations industry, I’m optimistic and excited to participate in where the future takes us.

The file ./lang/en-uk.js should be called en_GB (or en-gb by the looks of how you do it here). It's pretty much never referred to as 'uk' but 'gb' in locales.

The description is absolutely correct, there is no en_UK locale but only a en_GB.
Definitely true... it should be "en-gb".

English – Spanish expressions. Yep, everything is lost in translation!
Despite the glorious spring weather, at the moment, I am feeling a little blue. To be, or to feel blue, is a very common idiom which expresses the feeling of sadness of depression. How about cheering me up with a little joke or, you could throw caution to the wind and take me on holiday?
Anyway, what makes you feel blue?
To commemorate: /kəˈmɛməreɪt/ is a common verb used to mark or show respect for an event or person.
For example, World Cancer Day is an international day commemorated on February 4 to raise awareness of cancer and to encourage its prevention, detection, and treatment.

UNDERCLASMAN is comedy that just didn't work for me. As witnessed by the deleted scenes, it looks like some of the best material ended up on the cutting room floor. It is just your average cop undercover flick that comes off as a low rent version of Beverly Hills Cop. Nick Cannon is no Eddie Murphy. He is OK as an actor, but I just didn't find him very funny in UNDERCLASSMAN. The rundown of the plot is Tracy "Tre" Stokes (Cannon) is a bike cop who breaks the rules and is finally given the chance to be a cop like his father. He is sent undercover to investigate the death of a school reporter at a prestigious prep school. Other than finding the murder has something to do with a potent drug called Bliss and stolen cars, Tre has the hots for his Spanish teacher (that could have been developed further). If the director and Miramax had more faith, I wish they had left some of the character scenes in the movie (that they cut out). Roselyn Sanchez is hot as the Spanish teacher and Kelly Hu is again wasted in a role she could play in her sleep (still waiting for her breakout role). Cheech Marin does steal the movie in every scene he appears in.
Colors and shadow values are good, but the image does look soft.
SPECIAL FEATURES: 20 minutes of deleted scenes show character bits that might have made UNDERCLASSMAN a really enjoyable movie and Cheech Marin has some nice moments too. The cast auditions aren't something that need to be watched unless you need to see four of the cast members read scripts in a room. The MAKING OF UNDERCLASSMAN is another standard Miramax promo fluff piece. The audio commentary for the movie with Director Marcos Siega and Writers Brent Goldberg and David T. Wagner provides some insights into the making of the film while one of them says an earlier version which is 30 minutes longer is the better cut of UNDERCLASSMAN.
FINAL ANALYSIS: UNDERCLASMAN is just worth a rent. Others may have found it a good comedy, but I just find it just OK. UNDERCLASSMAN is a film that should be revisited with a director's/extended cut.

In 2016, I wrote an essay and entered it in a competition. I second-guessed it for weeks: it was too personal, too revealing. I would make myself vulnerable, I would be exposed. But I entered it anyway and, to my profound surprise, it won.
I wrote the essay in 2016, but I wrote it at other times, too. I wrote it when I tried to explain a panic attack to my Grade 2 teacher. I wrote it when I visited my grandfather’s grave for the first and only time. I wrote it when I understood the fear my dad felt when I told him I didn’t know how to stay alive anymore.
I didn’t start at the beginning of that essay and I didn’t finish at the end of that essay. 2016 was the only time I put down those words in that order, but I had been writing the story my whole life.
When the Horne Prize winner was announced, I was at home. I’d made pizza for my family, kneaded the dough and let it rise. I had my around-the-house pants on. My kids were chewing with their mouths open. I was waiting by the phone and desperately pretending I wasn’t, heart racing like it was on a track.
Erik Jensen, a great writer himself, had called me weeks earlier to tell me I was shortlisted. My voice had got stuck in my throat. The floor had disappeared. My only thought had been, There must be a lot of shortlistees, then. Why would anyone want to read about the way I’d internalised my grandfather’s suicide? What did my story have to offer the people who lived outside of it?
There were five essays shortlisted, including mine. All from great writers with their own things to say. They went to a dinner at prize sponsor Aesop’s head office, with the judges and other people of note. There was a long white table and canapes—I saw them in pictures.
My sister accepted the award on my behalf. She rang me after they called my name and she said, ‘Um.’ and I said, ‘No!’ and she said, ‘You won!’ Then she got up and spoke to the room about why I couldn’t be there. About how the fact of my mental illness —the story I had been writing since I was barely a person at all—meant I wasn’t able to collect my own prize, and wasn’t that sort of the point of it?
I couldn’t eat the rest of my pizza. I stared at it for ages, watching the edges curl up. I thought about how people would know now, my origin story. I tried to remember what I’d written, too scared to read it again. I felt the compounded history of loss and fear like a diamond in my chest. By the time my appetite came back, the pizza was cold.
My experiences of marginalisation are not transferable. I am my life and not someone else’s. The now-deleted 2018 Horne Prize criteria have been called a threat to free speech, but they weren’t. They simply ruled out ‘purporting to represent’ marginalised people without lived experience. They didn’t say ‘no reportage’ or ‘down with journalism’, but discouraged writers from taking the life and inheritance of another and using it for their own gain. Literally: for fifteen thousand dollars. A continuation of generations spent benefiting from punching down.
Would a person without lived experience of mental illness been able to write a good essay about it? One that would win the prize? Maybe they would have scoured books and blogs and RUOK? stickers to find the story. Would a person who loves someone with mental illness written a better essay? A carer, a friend? They might have recognised the glass-eyed disorientation and known what to do with it.
I had taken all the parts of myself and made sentences out of them. I used the mornings I’d woken and not remembered my own name. I used the days I had waited for an ambulance to arrive. I picked off the berries of my intoxicating brain funk and wrote a version of the story I had always been writing.
Would someone else have started it with the beginning and finished with the end? Would they have added all the subsequent ends? Would they have known to include every day I have felt like ending? They could write the whole piece without a nod to a person in a dark corner, and never thought again about the bits that came after and before.
Did I write the best one? Yeah, actually. My sister brought home the letter and the big cheque and I put it on the fridge so I could remember that my story had actual, tangible, bankable value. I banked the money, of course, because treating brains is expensive, but the letter is still there. Every day it reminds me not to be reduced to the symptoms of my illness.
Why should they speak for me, when I am still here to speak for myself?

The purpose of this investigation was to study state- supervised school lunch programs in city schools of Kansas to disclose some of the more common administrative practices and to determine the degree of satisfaction with these same programs as measured by school administrators who were associated with them. The questionnaire was used to gather data from all school lunch programs in cities of the first and second classes and programs in one third of the cities of the third class. Usable responses were received from 79 percent of first-class city schools, from 85 percent of second-class city schools, and from 89 percent of third class city schools. Besides being a great financial investment, the school lunch program is also a valuable service feature that is rapidly becoming an integral and vital part of the educational program. This huge business brings many responsibilities to school administrators, and these school officials must be prepared to manage each phase of school lunch services in a satisfactory manner. The study revealed that 51 percent of the total enrollment of all schools studied participated in school lunch programs. The school was the sponsoring agency for most of these 210 programs, and the school administrator was most frequently the authorized representative. These administrators seldom had written policies to guide them in their management of school lunch activities. The average number of students served in each eating center was 139, and there was an average of 59 students served for each full -time school lunch employee. Less than one third of the school lunch supervisors had training in home economics. The study disclosed that most supervisors and cooks did not work underwritten contracts. About two thirds of these workers were required to have physical examinations. Many free services, including free lunches, pay for holidays, activity passes, and social security benefits, were extended to school lunch workers. Most school lunch programs required either part or all of their school lunch staff to attend summer school lunch workshops sponsored by the School Lunch Division in Kansas. Less than half of the schools followed budgets in the operation of their programs, while more than three fourths of school lunch programs required annual audits of school lunch records. All but a few programs were self-supported except for government commodities and cash reimbursements from the state. Most purchases of foods and equipment were made on open market, and foods were generally purchased from local retailers. It was apparent that schools were doing much to integrate lunch programs with educational programs. More than four fifths of the schools gave instruction in proper table manners and in the values of balanced diets. Further attempts at integration were revealed through the many services related to school lunch programs in which students participated. One fourth of the programs made no attempts to interpret school lunch services to their communities. School lunch programs in cities of the first class more often publicized their school lunch activities than did those in cities of either second or third classes. In general, school officials in all three classes of city schools were equally satisfied that their school lunch programs were quite satisfactory. Questionnaire responses indicated that a majority of school officials felt that the school lunch program very definitely rendered a fine service to children and youth.
