Is Bitcoin Cash (BCH)’s Reputation Toast After The Civil War?
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) received a serious blow to its reputation following the notorious hard fork. The price of BCH/USD tumbled double digits on major exchanges. If this hard fork had occurred in the same way as Bitcoin Cash (BCH) forked off Bitcoin (BTC), it might have been a non-event and people would then look at Bitcoin ABC or Bitcoin SV in terms of their own merits. The way both parties turned the event into a Western Duel convinced a lot of people early on that no matter who ends up winning, it is going to expose a lot and people are not going to like it. Sure enough, the same thing happened. Dr. Craig S. Wright, proponent of Satoshi Vision (SV) came gun blazing at Jihan Wu (Cofounder of Bitmain), proponent of ABC.
Jihan Wu had a lot of supporters on his side. Almost all big exchanges like Bitfinex, Kraken and Coinbase were either directly supporting Bitcoin ABC or learning towards them indirectly. Bitcoin SV, on the other hand, had a few powerful mining pools on its side but no major exchanges. It was clear from the very beginning that Jihan Wu would eventually come up as the winner. The big players in the industry were all cheering for ABC and very vocal against SV. Things got serious when Dr. Craig S. Wright aka Professor Faustus announced that he would not mind selling his stash of Bitcoin (BTC) to fund his war chest, even if it means dragging Bitcoin (BTC) down to $1,000. The threat was very serious and a lot of people criticized Craig S. Wright for adopting this kind of an approach.
Many Twitter users asked him to reconsider and think about its impacts on the price of Bitcoin (BTC). Meanwhile, Jihan Wu and Roger Ver were determined to win the war at all costs. Craig Wright and his team knew full well that Jihan Wu and Roger Ver may end up directing some of their or their customers’ hash power towards Bitcoin Cash (BCH) if things get serious. The way they were trying to scare them with legal action made it clear that they cannot actually do anything about it. When the last block was mined before the fork by ABC Team, they claimed victory. They were at a 5 blocks lead after the upgrade. SV Team took to Twitter and kept saying things like it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Some even said that Jihan Wu and Roger Ver cannot use their customers’ hash power forever.
For a while, it seemed real that Craig S. Wright and his team were actually determined to play it long term and turn the battle into a war. However, the next morning ABC was at a 45 blocks lead against SV and it became clear that it was all empty threats. SV could not afford to fight this war for long. In fact, neither ABC nor SV can afford to do that. At some point in the future, Jihan Wu and his team might slow down once they are way ahead, but the fact remains that the damage to Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is already done. All the infighting and the damage done to the whole market by two people exposed the cracks within the foundations of Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Apparently, it is not as decentralized as some may like to claim.

The answer indicated clearly that there was considerable room for improvement.
So, I briefly pointed to some chapters that may be useful, given the conversation. He requested a copy of the book.
His “homework” was to read the first chapter Attitude of Gratitude every day between Wednesday and Sunday and consider how to put it into practice with his wife and children.
The chapter is just a couple of pages so it doesn’t take long to read. The benefit comes from applying the ideas to relationships.
Now, that was a good investment – with very quick returns.

Newchic beauty has introduced the difference between matte eyeshadow and glitter eyeshadow in last post. Today, we would like to discuss about the matte lip gloss and glitter lip gloss. Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages of course. Matte lip gloss set and glitter lip gloss kit have the opposite textures, so they will meet the women’s needs for different makeup style and different collocations for occasions. The best lip gloss for daily use is arguable for different people too. Although we admire the celebrities creating perfect lip makeup with both two, before we make the decisions for ourselves, we should have a comprehensive understanding upon matte lipstick and glitter lipstick first.
Matte lip gloss: The biggest characteristic of natural matte lip gloss is that it has strong composed color, not light reflected and will last for a long time on our lips . That is why the vintage lip gloss is usually made of matte ingredients. With heavier and richer color, long lasting matte lipstick will get dry relatively easily and reveal lip fine lines. So for women who prefer applying matte lipstick shades, it is important to apply a moisturizing lip balm first to achieve being matte but not dry. As long as we do the moisturizing step well, red matte lip gloss can be such a great fit for our wool overcoat in winter and spring, which will bring a high-end feel to our looks.
Vintage matte lip gloss is suitable for formal occasions, such as for office makeup looks and dinner dates. Natural matte lipstick won’t show a bright or shiny visual effect, but it will show others your dignified and graceful temperament naturally.
Glitter lip gloss: There are tiny particles in the holographic glitter lip gloss, but they are not shinny excessively. Natural glitter lipsticks are often made of light color coats that quite coordinated with some fresh natural makeup looks. In summer, the pink glitter lipstick is more popular and preferred to build younger makeup looks. Since the high glitter lip gloss is shinny and bright, it is more appropriate for the fancy night events like party and ball. The texture is moist but can not last as long as a matte lip gloss, so we need to reapply it on time.

The rapid rise of flash to the top of the storage agenda is not surprising, given the advances we’ve seen in this technology over the past few years. Performance has improved by leaps and bounds, and the price decline curve has been steep. Density has been climbing steadily, with 3.84 TB solid-state drives (SSDs) now available. CIOs who haven’t investigated flash for a while may be surprised at just how far the market has come, and how substantial the benefits of moving to solid-state media can be. Enterprise-class flash is now a reality, and it addresses some of the most pressing challenges that IT leaders face.
• Deliver service levels to the business predictably, reliably, on time and under budget. As data loads continue to expand, IT’s ability to meet its service level agreements with the business is under increasing strain. Enterprise-class flash can be a key part of any business transformation. It can greatly improve the user experience. If you’re looking to become more agile and to turn out products faster and cheaper, one way to do it is through analytics applied to massive amounts of data. Flash provides the ability to do that, making data more available so that you can make better decisions quicker.
• Achieve CapEx and OpEx savings. It’s possible to achieve up to a 75 percent reduction in the capacity you need for your application workloads, and a 50 percent reduction in IT staff workloads. Flash can reduce not only overall storage spend but also server and software licensing costs, as well as power and cooling, while reducing storage footprint.
• Increase productivity. The operational efficiencies that flash provides can help free up IT staffers to take on up to four times as many projects as they’re currently tackling, and twice as many projects for DevOps staff. In these days of fixed or shrinking budgets, when lack of expertise and resources is often more of a bottleneck than infrastructure limitation, flash can make a huge difference in IT’s ability to get things done.
Flash storage is making significant headway in the enterprise, and companies are starting to move their most performance-hungry workloads to all-flash arrays. These organizations like the performance and cost benefits, and they want to do more with the technology.
1. Flash-first architecture can deliver the performance headroom your workloads need – and then some. However impressive the specs on any flash drive may be, the performance of the array itself is just as important. If a controller was designed for traditional storage, it can easily become a bottleneck when applied to SSDs. Fortunately, today’s flash-optimized platforms leverage the inherent strengths of the media to provide consistent, predictable performance levels that can handle the most demanding mission-critical workloads.
In fact, flash storage provides so much performance headroom that it often opens up opportunities that were not envisaged in the original business case. For example, an organization that’s looking to reduce latency for business transaction processing might find that, in addition, a flash system significantly reduces backup times. Or it may find that, because staffs need to spend 50 percent less time tuning up a database, they’re freed up for more value-added activities. When the business is growing but IT budgets are not, the extra performance elbow-room that flash provides can be crucial in keeping core systems functioning efficiently.
If you want the performance benefits of all-flash, but you’re not ready to abandon hard disk drives (HDDs), that option is available too. This relatively new category of converged storage offers all-flash arrays in tandem with high-capacity HDDs. These are true flash-first solutions, and are very different from arrays in which flash capabilities are simply added on to an architecture originally designed around spinning media.
2. Enterprise flash enables massive database consolidation. The speed, density and extreme performance of flash media make it a clear choice to support a wide range of enterprise workloads, ranging from online transaction processing to ERP to client virtualization. Those same qualities mean that you can use flash to consolidate copies of databases onto one array.
Let’s say you have a 10TB database running in production. You need to protect your production environment, so traditional wisdom dictates that you keep it separate from the copy that you use for devs and testing. It’s not unusual for an organization to have 6-8 copies of a database – say 60TB to 80TB of storage. With flash, you can significantly reduce the time needed to spin up non-production environments. And you can reside them on a single array.
You may be thinking – doesn’t that pose a risk to the production environment? Well, it could, but this is exactly why you will want to combine flash’s scalable performance with quality of service (QoS) software, to ensure that the DevOps workloads don’t overrun your production environment. Everything is in one place, the performance impact is not a concern, and possibilities like dedupe and snapshots open up what wouldn’t be possible if the copies were separated physically. Question is – can your flash array provide QoS capabilities? Not all do, so QoS is an important evaluation consideration.
If your organization is in the infrastructure-as-a-service space, it’s worth taking note of these special flash capabilities, which can enable you to ramp up capacity in response to demand spikes and deliver fine-grained, differentiated levels of service to your customers.
3. Enterprise flash provides true Tier 1 resilience and data protection. The need to ensure the integrity, safety and accessibility of enterprise data is a given.
Today’s enterprise-grade flash systems are extremely resilient, offering six-nines availability. It’s true that, until recently, flash has lagged traditional storage in providing the advanced data protection services that businesses need. That’s not surprising; flash is a brand new approach to storage, and it calls for flash-optimized data protection. The good news is that Tier 1 data protection features that have long been mainstays of HDD-based solutions – for example, synchronous/asynchronous streaming and transparent datacenter failover – are starting to permeate the world of enterprise flash storage.
CIOs may need to do some due diligence to ensure that a flash solution provides the right replication capabilities for their needs. But some good options are available, and they will only get better as flash continues to expand into the enterprise.
The rise of flash to market dominance is well under way. We may not be quite at the tipping point for the all-flash data center yet, but we’re close, certainly for the majority of active I/O processing. The movement will accelerate as more and more organizations discover that even if they don’t need flash for its high performance, the productivity and efficiency gains are hard to resist. Moving to flash is not an all-or-nothing proposition, and many organizations will want to ride their tape and HDD installations to full investment value.
It’s an exciting future, no question. Think of how the rise of social media was only possible after the Internet became ubiquitous - transforming our lives. When flash becomes ubiquitous, the possibilities may be just as surprising and transformative for the enterprise. IT leaders should look for ways to leverage flash to support their business’s core objectives.

GGmedia - Tuesday, February 5, 2019.
Finding quality products is definitely important since it guarantees them to be durable and not damaged easily. Box Aray comes as an e-commerce that guarantees the products’ qualities.
Rhode Island, February 6, 2019: Shopping via e-commerce is indeed interesting for its easiness, effectiveness, and practicality. However, a common problem to face, particularly by the customers, is regarding the qualities of the products. It is quite difficult to know whether a product is indeed qualified and original or not, since they only see them via online platforms. To solve this problem, Box Aray is developed to ease the customers more in finding the quality products.
Box Aray is an online marketplace or e-commerce designed only for Subscription Box Owners. The customers that are included in the group have many accesses to discover only qualified products and do the transactions with suppliers. Meanwhile, the pricing works better by analyzing the costs of products and shipping.
So, how does this Subscription Box Business work? With an assumption that the customers have been included themselves into Subscription Box Owners, first, the platform automatically selects and finds the right products that suit their box. Second, Box Aray makes a contact with the suppliers to make some offers. The process is ended by the platform getting the whole cost, accepting the proposal and make an escrow order.
Third, the customers wait for the suppliers preparing their order. Since the orders are commonly in bulks, the time duration for the preparation and delivery is probably quite long, it is around 10 days. After the products have been accepted by the customers, Box Aray releases payment to the suppliers, confirms the transaction transparently, and repeats the business.
This e-commerce platform has conducted cooperation with many product suppliers. Interestingly, the suppliers must pass through some tests and filters to make sure that their products are qualified and original. This way, both parties, the suppliers and customers, are able to get the benefits they expected. Lastly, Box Aray is going to be launched soon. To join Subscription Box Owners, please submit the email address for updates.

Two vessels, escorted by the H.M.S. Syren (under Capt. Charles Proby), left Beaubassin for Georgia. Gipson says that the Syren arrived at Tybee Island (in the Savannah River) with 120 Acadians ... mostly children and women. He goes on to say that it led "3" vessels ... a sloop with 124 Acadians, a brigantine with 137 Acadians, and a ship with 210 Acadians. Gipson also adds that another sloop arrived the next day with 127 Acadians who had come from Acadia via Boston. The number of 400 Acadians above is by Brasseaux, but according to Gipson the number would be closer to 600.
When the Acadians arrived in Georgia, the government basically ignored them. By March 1756, they had gotten permission from Gov. Reynolds to build boats and head for Nova Scotia. Ten boats carrying about 200 Acadians had reached Wappoo Creek by the end of the month, where ascout boat led them the few miles from Port Royal to Charlestown, SC [SC Gazette, April 1, 1756]. When they got to North Carolina, the officials suggested that they settle down. But some continued the journey. Seven ships (with 90 of the original 200) reached Boston in July 1756, where they were arrested by the British. The Acadians who stayed behind in Georgia lived in poverty. Some worked on plantations, while some worked in the shipping industry; but they never got above poverty level. Though most would have preferred to leave, they couldn’t afford it.
When the war ended, the 1763 treaty offered an 18 month period during which they could resettle to French territory. Most of the Acadians left in Georgia at this time migrated seem to have gone to South Carolina and sailed for Saint Domingue. A list was made on Aug. 23, 1763 listing the Acadians in South Carolina, and a letter with the list noted they were from Savannah, GA. Of the 400 acadians that arrived there, 185 were left at that time.
An August 25, 1763, the Georgia Gazette had an article that noted the Acadians had boarded a sloop headed for Monte Cristi, St. Domingue. About 21 more Acadians left on Dec. 21 in the sloop Savannah Packet for New Orleans (via Mobile). We know they were in Mobile on Jan. 22, 1764 because the marriage of Jean POIRIER & Madeleine RICHARD was blessed on that day.
The last of these Acadians (44 of them) left the second week of January 1764 on the Polly and Deborah and sailed to Cap Francois, St. Domingue. Some of those seem to have joined other Acadians in going to Louisiana.
In Oak Grove Cemetery at St. Mary's (Camden County) in Georgia is a plaque inscribed "Tomb of Acadians - Acadians deported from Grand Pre, Nova Scotia first found refuge in St. Domingo. Later, insurrection of natives drove them to St. Marys. Evangeline's friend buried here."

Long in the works and properly worth the wait, ‘Devil’s Dance’ is a deliriously strong summation of Ossia’s singular style. Dread-filled and fevered, it marks the Bristol/Berlin-hailing producer as a master at negotiating negative space and bending styles to his will, taking what he needs from grime & dubstep, jazz, techno and post-industrial music, and warping it all with an uncanny sleight of hand that only comes from proper dedication to dub craft.
Most brilliantly, nothing is square or regular in Ossia’s sound world. Edges are consistently smudged and slanted, sounds bleed into one another with organic form, but, like a backyard/spareroom ganja farmer, his skill lies in pruning punctuations, allowing his forms to grow wild, whilst knowing where and when to cut and splice. Now harvested, his crop is effectively a highly potent batch with a perfect balance of meditative and psychoactive content.
From the gauntleted noise sculpture of ‘Concrete’, to the weightless skank and skronk of ‘Radiation’, thru the heaving masses of his ‘Devil’s Dance’ and ‘Hell Version’, thru the spectral ephemera of ‘Inertia’ and the 23 minutes of perceptive chicanery in ‘Vertigo’, you have one of the strongest dub records you'll hear for time.

text: The Torres Strait is a narrow body of water between the Cape York Peninsula at the northern end of Australia and the large Melanesian island of New Guinea. It is approximately 93 miles wide at its narrowest point. It is named for the Spanish explorer Luis Vaz de Torres, who navigated it in 1606. The strait is interrupted by a maze of reefs and islands, making it historically hazardous to navigate. Of the 278 islands in the strait, 17 have permanent residents. The indigenous population, called Torres Strait islanders, are distinct from either the Papua New Guinea peoples or the aboriginal populations of Australia. Papua New Guinea and Australia have entered an agreement whereby both governments protect and preserve the indigenous cultural and human resources of the islanders.

A ruler, sometimes called a rule or line gauge, is a device used in geometry, technical drawing, engineering and building to rule straight lines. Engineering designers used (before the advent of CAD) devices with graduations marked on their edge called scales, when setting out or measuring length �... When you use the Ruler tool, the Options bar offers a readout of information that includes the following values: X, Y � the X and Y coordinates of the start of the line: For example, if you start at the 1-inch position on the horizontal ruler and the 3-inch position on the vertical ruler, the X and Y values on the Options bar are 1.0 and 3.0, respectively.
Determine the English and metric equivalents by comparing the measurements using both sides of the ruler. For example, if a shelf width measures 4.5 inches, look directly across the ruler at the metric edge of the ruler and note that point.
Inches and feet to centimeters and meters - and vice versa Enter the known length (distance) on the appropriate line. The other boxes will show the conversions.
Did You Know? You can change the ruler measurements. Change the ruler to show inches, centimeters, millimeters, points, or picas. Click the File tab, click Options, click Advanced, click the Show Measurement In Units list arrow, select the measurement you want, and then click OK.

Communities living adjacent to the protected areas struggle with human-wildlife conflict.
Change of land use from pastoralism to agriculture has resulted in lifestyles incompatible with wildlife conservation.
To reduce human-wildlife conflict and animal deaths, in came the Born Free Foundation with predator-proof bomas (PPBs). The organisation has built the structures across five community-managed group ranches.
Demand is high and priority is given to individuals in areas with the highest predator conflict.

He would sit up all night guarding his cattle and other livestock against wildlife attacks. The ranch is in Kenya’s Kajiado County in Amboseli.
"Living near a national park means we must be alert at all times or risk losing our livestock," said Mr Sitonik.
In Enkirgirri village in Mbirikani Group Ranch in Makueni County Jeremiah Lemiti suffered the same fate.
In September 2017 for example, he lost 10 goats and 10 cows in one night after lions attacked his boma. The previous year, he lost 15 cows and 50 goats and sheep.
On one occasion, leopards descended on Mr Lemiti’s boma at 4pm, killing 10 lactating cows leaving nine young calves.
His family was forced to manually feed the calves and by good luck some survived.
A boma is a traditional livestock enclosure made from thorn bushes and sticks.
Olgulului and Mbirikani are part of the greater Amboseli-West Kilimanjaro ecosystem, which straddles the Kenya-Tanzania border. It is home to about 200 lions.
On the Kenyan side, it covers the Amboseli National Park and the Mbirikani, Eselenkei, Olgulului/Oloolarashi, Rombo, Kuku and Kimana community group ranches.
Tanzania’s West Kilimanjaro (Enduimet Wildlife Management Area) for its part, comprises eight villages.
The senior warden at the Amboseli National Park, Kenneth ole Nashuu, said that climate change, environmental degradation with land use changes pose a challenge to conservation as people encroach on wildlife habitat and dispersal areas.
“Kimana Group Ranch, which once covered 28,000 acres, now has only 6,000 acres, after the land was subdivided for agricultural activities,” he said.
“The predator-proof bomas reduce night-time livestock killing, mainly by lions and hyenas, and prevent retaliatory killings,” said Born Free head of conservation programmes David Manoa.
They structures comprise strong poles made from recycled plastic, each spaced three metres apart with a two-metre high hexagonal steel wire mesh, and doors made from recycled oil drums.
A thorn barrier is planted outside to reinforce the structures. Old thorns prevent cattle from damaging the fence from inside.
The project, covering the entire Amboseli and part of West Kilimanjaro area, has been running since 2014.
“The number of people benefiting from the project, a joint venture with residents, is 5,775 so far. The heads of livestock protected is 80,575,” said Mr Manoa.
Mr Sitonik and Mr Lemiti are among those who have put up the “special” bomas.
Mr Sitonik said villagers who work for conservation groups send alerts to KWS in case of an impeding attack, which has helped to raise awareness about the need to conserve wildlife.
For Mr Lemiti, the turning point was the night in September 2017, when he lost 10 cows. He built the predator-proof bomas and now offers shelter for his neighbours, livestock at night.
“I normally advise people to build PPBs as the compensation process from the Kenya Wildlife Service is tedious and takes at least two months pending investigations,” said Mr Lemiti.
Olchurie Kitipai of Injakata village is among villagers who are yet to join the bandwagon.
Currently, he reinforces his traditional boma by planting the thorny commiphora tree species on the edge of the homestead. He, however, plans to build a PPB soon.
There are more than 200 such structures in the ecosystem. Olgulului Group Ranch has 71, Mbirikani 100, Kimana 46, Kuku 22, Rombo five, Eselenkei 21, and West Kilimanjaro has 10.
According to Mr Manoa, in 2013, Born Free introduced a cost-sharing model in order to instil a sense of ownership of the PPB.
They cost a minimum $2,400 to put up. The cost rises with the size. Communities contribute towards the cost of the materials and provide labour mainly digging holes for the poles.
For every PPB built in Amboseli, Born Free offers a solar kit — two solar panels and efficient cooking stoves with chimneys to expel smoke from the manyatta (traditional house). Families also receive tanks to collect water during the rainy season.
According to the KWS, retaliatory killing of lions in the Amboseli-West Kilimanjaro ecosystem by Maasai morans has decreased due to development projects in the area, and the adoption of amicable conflict resolution methods.
KWS works in partnership with Born Free Foundation Kenya, Big Life Foundation and Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust, to address human-wildlife conflict in the Amboseli ecosystem.
The lion population in the Amboseli-West Kilimanjaro ecosystem rose to between 70 and 90 in 2013, from 50 in 2008, and now stands at about 200.
The lion, a revered predator that once roamed Africa, has become a victim of complex threats as human populations grow.
Southern and East African lions are listed as vulnerable, on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, but the West African sub-species is considered to be critically endangered.
“Human-lion conflict arises when lions attack livestock forcing people to retaliate. Retaliation using poison can kill an entire pride, along with other species,” said Mr Nashuu.
In the event of wildlife attacks in the Amboseli, residents use phones to call Big Life Foundation compensation officers. Consolation money is paid if the predator is not killed in retaliation.
“Big Life pays consolation money as a portion of economic loss. It is a give and take situation.
We use elders to persuade morans not to retaliate as soon as predation occurs,” said Mbirikani Location chief Joseph Ndoipo.
Mr Ndoipo said that the local administration, Big Life, KWS with other organisations verify the existence of the carcass in the boma and take evidence including photographs, while residents are cautioned not kill predators because if they do so, they risk being jailed.
Big Life pays about $250 as consolation for a cow. People demanding full compensation get a credit note and wait for money from Kenya’s National Treasury. Kenya forbids locals killing wildlife as it is government property.
The rules are enforced by KWS, which helps in property protection through patrols, and manages national parks as well as dispersal areas.
KWS compensates for human injury and livestock predation but does not cover crop raiding.
Community-managed ranches handle livestock, grazing and conflicts. Management designates areas and times for grazing.
To ensure herders and wildlife do not cross paths, scouts patrol grazing zones.
Some problematic lions are fitted with collars and tracked by trained scouts who combine the use of technology with their traditional tracking knowledge to monitor the movements of the lions. They then inform herders where to graze their livestock.
The history of PPBs in the ecosystem dates back to 2010 when Born Free took nine elders from different group ranches in Kajiado County to Liakipia County in northern Kenya where hyena attacks were common.
Born Free redesigned hyena predator-proof bomas by increasing height and incorporating the use of doors made from recycled oil drums to suit Kajiado County, where there are more cattle than sheep.
The project’s success in Kajiado County recently led the Africa Wildlife Foundation to ask Born Free to build predator-proof bomas in West Kilimanjaro.
AWF sourced materials from Tanzanian suppliers and put up 10 structures.
At least 11 of the jumbos are suspected to have been poisoned.

If you have spent any length of time in a church, it’s a word you have probably heard multiple times. Perhaps it comes at the end of a heartfelt prayer: “In Jesus’ name, amen.” Perhaps someone shouts it out from the back of the sanctuary whenever the preacher makes a good point: “Amen!” Perhaps it sometimes sounds like the most beautiful word in the world, because you’re waiting for someone to finish blessing the food so you can eat! Whatever the context, it’s an important word, but it’s so common around churches that Christians sometimes tend to forget just how important it is. Let’s step back and consider what this word truly means.
Growing up in church, I always heard that “amen” meant something to the effect of “let it be so.” I took it as a way to close a prayer by acknowledging that God’s will be done—and I took it very seriously. Once, when I was little, my grandfather prayed and ended with “amen”. Aghast, I looked at him and indignantly exclaimed, “Bop, it’s ay-men, not ah-men!” But as I began researching this word, I found there was more than meets the eye. “Amen” is used 30 times in the Old Testament and 129 in the New. In the Old Testament, the context is often an expression of praise – for instance, “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting, and let all the people say amen” (Psalm 106:48, KJV). In the New, “amen” is most often used as a greeting or, again, to express praise to the Lord. The word is never used to confirm a blessing directed at anyone except God—He always gets all the glory.
“Amen” is derived from a Hebrew term, and it does indeed mean, “so be it.” (It turns out my five-year-old interpretation wasn’t so far off the mark after all.) Saying “amen” means you have listened to what was spoken; it expresses agreement. It’s almost a universal word, too—some actually believe it is the most widely known word in the world.
“Amen” has almost become a ritual, something mindless. But next time you pray, stop and think about the word. Keep in mind that when we hear a promise from the Bible, we can always say “amen”, because we know it will come to pass—“amen” is a way to communicate, “Because of Jesus, I know this is true”. And that’s a beautiful thing.

Several years ago MACRMI members worked with attorneys around the state to develop our Best Practices for Attorneys -- both those representing patients, and those representing providers-- in the CARe process. We believe that these guidelines help attorneys involved in the process understand that collaboration, communication, and honesty are important parts of the CARe process, and that CARe helps everyone involved to reconcile in the best way possible after an adverse event. In fact, the attorneys on our Suggested Attorneys List asset to abide by them when working on a CARe case.
Recently, when reviewing these documents at our quarterly meetings, MACRMI members felt it would be important to add information about mediation to them. CARe and mediation are not exclusive processes. Sometimes, although material facts are agreed upon by all parties, the dollar amount can be hard to agree on. Mediation can be a great tool to use to work out this specific disagreement.

On 22nd February 2017, Abbey Grange was inspected. Two Ofsted inspectors spent the day with us, talking to students and staff, visiting lessons, looking at students’ work, and analysing survey returns from students, parents and staff. The judgement was that Abbey Grange continues to be a good school with effective safeguarding procedures. As it was a short, one day inspection, there was a focus on a small number of areas for development, as the inspectors were satisfied that they did not need to assess the areas of outstanding practice that the academy had identified in its own self-evaluation or in last October’s SIAMS inspection report.
Parents can provide feedback on the Academy by using Parent View. This survey can be completed anytime and goes direct to OFSTED. You can access it by clicking on the logo to the right.
In the week before half-term, we had a SIAMS inspection. SIAMS stands for Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools, and is a process that all Church of England schools go through, on a 5 year cycle. This is a rigorous process with many similarities to an Ofsted inspection, although with a tighter focus. Our inspector was in school for a whole day, observing lessons and collective worship, as well as talking to students, staff, parents and governors. We were judged as outstanding in all 4 key areas of the inspection: Christian character, collective worship, religious education, and leadership and management, as well as being judged outstanding overall.
Having been judged as good at the last inspection in February 2012, it was great to have this distinctive and central part of the academy recognised as having developed further to achieve outstanding status. The inspector recognises Abbey Grange as “a rich, diverse and highly effective church school and a happy place for students to learn”, noting that “Christian values are promoted and lived throughout the academy”. I am very pleased that the quality of our collective worship and the effectiveness of our RS department are judged as outstanding, recognising the huge contribution of both Kay Brown, our Chaplain, and Steph Hanbridge, our head of RS and also Associate Assistant Principal.
I am very conscious that we are in this positive position because of the strength of the community that Abbey Grange represents – a partnership of students, staff, parents, governors, Abbey Multi Academies Trust, and the Diocese of Leeds. Thank you to our parents for the part that you and your child play in ensuring the ongoing distinctiveness and effectiveness of Abbey Grange as a Church of England academy.
Although this is definitely a time to celebrate the journey that we have completed thus far, looking forward we will continue to look to develop our Church of England status; the report gives us a couple of areas to develop, which we will work on in the months and years to come.
You can contact your child’s Abbey Manager or the SENCO, Mr Naish to arrange a meeting to discuss your concerns.
Depending on the level of your child’s need there will be a level of support put in place ranging from differentiated work, small group intervention sessions or 1:1 support. This will always include your child’s class teachers but may also involve other support staff including the learning mentor.
Your child will be set in groups according to their ability. They will have access to the National Curriculum with differentiated work where appropriate.
In addition to normal reporting arrangements, you are encouraged to have open communication with your child’s form tutor, (who they see on a daily basis.) We also encourage parents/carers to contact the Abbey Leader or SENCO to discuss progress and provision if any concerns arise.
We have a very strong pastoral system in place at Abbey Grange Academy. Your child will have access to The Child Protection Team, Learning Mentors, Learning Support Assistants, Inclusion Support Staff, Safer Schools Officer and the School Nurse.
We have access to many other services, for example Educational Psychologists, Inclusion Workers, Physiotherapists, Speech & Language Therapists, Visually Impaired Team, Hearing Impaired Team, Counsellors, Careers Advisors, Targeted Services.
Our support staff have ongoing training in many areas such as numeracy and literacy, restraint,slt and most are level 2 TA qualified.
Your child will be offered a variety of activities during lunch time and after school. We also have educational visits and Rewards Days. Your child will have access to the same support they would normally receive.
There are lifts to some areas of school. Stairs have hand rails and luminous lines.
We begin transition arrangements in Year 5 and Year 6. This involves our staff visiting your child in their primary school and inviting your child to visit our school as many times as required.
We begin transition arrangements in Year 9 to prepare students for their post 16 options.
Any student who requires extra support will receive some funding from the school’s notional budget. Extra top up funding can be applied for through the local authority (by school) The review panel at the local authority will decide on whether applications warrant extra funding and the amount needed.
You will receive twice yearly progress reports and will be invited to Parent Consultation Evenings and moving on evenings throughout the year. You can also speak to your child’s Abbey Progress Leader at any point in between.

To the apparent surprise of everyone, the Walt Disney Company has announced a deal to purchase Lucasfilm Ltd. According to the official press release, Disney has agreed to fork over $4.05 billion in cash and stock for George Lucas’ studio in a deal that brings together two of the world’s most important intellectual property libraries.
As you might expect, Disney is itching to take advantage of its new toys. “This transaction combines a world-class portfolio of content including Star Wars, one of the greatest family entertainment franchises of all time, with Disney’s unique and unparalleled creativity across multiple platforms, businesses, and markets to generate sustained growth and drive significant long-term value,” said Disney CEO Robert Iger in this afternoon’s announcement.
Under the terms of this agreement Disney will acquire control over all Lucasfilm iterations. This includes both its traditional film-making studio facilities, as well as the various technologies Lucasfilm has created over the years to further its various media properties. Thus, the gigantic Disney family now includes Lucasfilm itself, special effects house Industrial Light & Magic, Skywalker Sound and LucasArts, the company’s video game creation division.
This acquisition alone would be huge news, but as if to pre-empt fan speculation on the future of Star Wars the same announcement also mentions that a new Star Wars movie is scheduled to appear in 2015. Though the vast majority of recent Star Wars media has been focused on the property’s various animated iterations and LEGO crossovers, this new film will be the first official cinematic continuation of George Lucas’ original Star Wars trilogy. Though very few details are offered on this film, it has officially been dubbed Star Wars: Episode VII, and barring any major catastrophes it should hit theaters at some point in 2015 (if we had to guess, we’d assume an early summer release in keeping with the tradition established by its predecessors).
Perhaps even more intriguing however, is the announcement’s claim that Episode VII’s release will herald a new era in which new Star Wars movies hit theaters “every two to three years.” It specifically mentions Episodes VIII and IX by name, though offers no solid details on either film.
While the effects of the move won’t be fully known for at least a few months, we can think of a number of a things this new union might change. For instance, currently Dark Horse Comics publishes all Star Wars comic books, but with Disney owning Marvel Comics we can’t see that agreement lasting for long. Likewise, both Disney and Lucasfilm have sizable divisions dedicated to creating video games based on their various media properties. Normally these companies have had to seek outside publishing agreements, but now that they’ve joined forces and massively expanded the number of games either company is capable of releasing in any given year, it makes a lot of sense for Disney to invest in its own games publishing wing.
Finally, this agreement almost certainly heralds future crossovers between Disney and Lucasfilm characters. We don’t know any specifics, but it’s only a matter of time before we see toys depicting Mickey Mouse dressed as Darth Vader. Whether that sounds awesome or stomach-churningly disgusting is entirely up to your rapidly waning sense of childhood whimsy.
Update: Scratch that last prediction. Apparently Disney characters dressed as Star Wars characters is already a thing.
Our partnership with LucasFilm has produced over 20 yrs worth of stories. We have Star Wars for the near future, and hope for years to come.

The website is now an important part of our lives. We do all types of daily work on the Internet through our website, from education to education and financially. Due to massive financial transactions, it is now a great target for criminals. Since the use of the website has spread to everyone, so everyone has to be careful. However, since the general public, only users and they do not have sufficient technical skills about website security.
Therefore, website developers will have to develop websites in such a way that it is not possible for hackers to easily hack, or harm the website and its users. In this article, some general information about security for those who develop web design or applications, and for those who create websites for themselves.
wordfence plugin. sucuri security. wordpress security check. Secupress. wordfence vs sucuri. best wordpress security plugin 2019. secure wordpress hosting. wordpress site not secure. wordpress security vulnerabilities. wordpress security service. wordpress security plugins 2019. is wordpress safe from hackers.

First of all, the web site that is in the web server, there is no vulnerability to check it. If any errors are found, then fix it. Upgrade to the latest web server as fast as possible. If possible, upgrade to the latest version of the operating system. If you have a Linux server upgrade your Kernel routine. And if you have any security patches for the system then install it.
Check and strengthen the server’s firewall. Use this firewall on network and application level 2 level. Use Ddos Protection on the server.
Closing the server’s unused ports and services. And upgrade the software to routine service. And provide good IDS / IPS and WebProxy setup.
Check the vulnerability of the website or web application. In particular, SQL Injection, Cross Site Scripting, Cross Site Request Forgery, File Inclusion, Remote Code Execution, Web Backdore, Remote File Upload Check and fix this type of vulnerability. Those who can take the help of a better Vulnerability Scanner about the brand new ones.
If the web site is based on a framework. (Eg: WordPress, Joomla, PunBB, MyBB), but if you upgrade it to the latest version and install a security patch then install it. Check all the CMS plugins and see if they have any vulnerability. And check whether there is any Exploit. Fix it if it is Exploit, or exclude that plugin. From Cpanel to Chmod 640 or 600 on CMS’s Congif File.
Change and strengthen the administration of admin and Cpanel (server administration). Make a password minimum 12 character, and mix the number, number, small and upper case letter.
Not giving access to all types of files, especially the configuration files. Do not allow write access to any drive. Close Directory Listing, and Close Directory Brute forcing. When the work is done for the work, but after finishing the work, then it will be reworked.
Keep regular backups of the site. Keep backup files secure place and secure. It is not possible to get them through directory browsing. Keep it out of the best offline or public_html directory.
Unfortunately, if the site is hacked, all content on the site will be deleted. Then the whole site will be backed up again from the backup. In any case, the page can not be satisfied only by replacing the defacement page. Because hackers can put a malicious code (bad) code in another directory. And immediately you have to change the password of the admin and cpanel.
You can follow the server log to find out how the site is hacked. And accordingly, the site has to be patched up, so that it is not hacked again.

Every home receives water damage at a different level, and so we come with a different plan every time. At this part, only a professional can understand that which home needs what type of care and what should be the extent. Our services vary as per our clients, but they all fall in three specific categories: Interior, Exterior, and Emergency.
Interior automatically indicates waterproofing that your basement requires. Mainly, the basement and the inner side of your home like walls, rooftops, kitchen, bathroom, and other rooms’ surfaces need waterproofing, and this falls into interior waterproofing.
Everyone wants to have a dry and clean basement as it is the foundation of your home. Leakages in the cellar mean your home is in trouble because in some way it weakens the base of your home and allows rodents inside.
In all these cases we can help you using our best methods and years of experience. We will waterproof your entire home and the surroundings so your home will serve you as a genuinely waterproof residence for years.
In this process, we waterproof the exteriors of your home. After getting done with the basement on the interior side, the time comes to seal the basement on the external side as well. It is the primary and more beneficial aspect of waterproofing as sealing it ensures no water will enter the basement from external sources or even if it rains.
This process also includes terminating any mildew or yeast invasion formed due to dampness. This way, we make the foundation strong that keeps the structure long lasting for years or even centuries. By hiring us for the exterior waterproofing, you will have a dry basement and absence of any mold and mildew.
Rodents and other insects make their way, and you can easily notice them. It begins feeling damp on the surface.
In the last stage, these cracks get more visible, and even water starts appearing and form a small pool.
To get rid of all these issues, you need to choose a team of professionals wisely. Our experienced team works by checking for all the possible problems and start their work as per the issues. Waterproofers begin with draining the water and look for the leaks. Then cleaning up the debris and filling up the leakages take place before they apply the waterproof coatings.

A violent thug has been jailed after he unleashed his American pitbull dog on a man who died six days later.
John Palmer, 26, later gloated on Facebook and pictured himself laughing at a newspaper report of the attack.
He laid into Simon Whittall, 39, after an argument, and allowed his dog to bite him on the arms, legs, torso and groin in a prolonged attack near the town centre in Warrington, Cheshire.
Palmer also repeatedly hit him with a metal dog chain and stamped on his head, Liverpool Crown Court heard this week.
The attack only ended when two women shouted for the defendant to stop.
Mr Whitall died on September 9, six days later, after suffering a bleed to his brain.
But Judge John Roberts said medical evidence did not prove that Palmer's attack had caused his death.
Palmer pleaded guilty to all charges last October. He has now been sentenced to three and a half years for GBH, 11 months for ABH and 14 months for owning a dangerous dog which was out of control in a public place.
The sentences will run concurrently and he will be eligible for release in 18 months.
The court heard that Palmer had become involved in an argument with Mr Whittall and another man, Stephen Littlewood that suddenly became violent.
The court was told how witnesses saw the defendant release the bulldog 'Dougie' which attacked Mr Littlewood, biting him.
He managed to escape without serious injury, but the dog attacked Mr Whittall, of no fixed address, who collapsed three days later.
The defendant boasted on Facebook and posted a picture of himself laughing as he displayed a front page report of the attack in the Warrington Guardian newspaper.
He pleaded guilty to one count of greivous bodily harm, two counts of assault and of owning the dog, which was out of control.
While on bail for the attack he was seen by police with another bulldog in the town centre, the court heard.
He told officers to stay away from the animal because it had been trained to attack policemen.
Palmer also has a previous conviction for assault, after another town centre incident during which he spat in another man's face.
Palmer, known as JJ Palmer, wrote on his Facebook page that he pleaded guilty to something he did not do because he would face a longer sentence if convicted after a trial.
He posted a picture of himself over the weekend laughing while holding a copy of the Warrington Guardian front page which highlighted his crimes.
He joked that the attack had been in two newspapers and asked friends if they had seen it in a third paper so it would be a 'hat trick'.

The Zelda fanbase never ceases to astound me. After yesterday’s Skyward Sword trailer, which showed off tons of new gameplay footage, environments, and content, there are still all kinds of people finding every reason they can to complain. And while, yes, I realize we here at Zelda Informer can often be the kings of gripe, it’s mostly in fun – we positively adore the series, otherwise we wouldn’t still be here. Now that Zelda‘s silver year is in full swing, it’s time to switch over to our fanhats and raise our Hylian Shields in militant defense of the series.
Today’s complaint is about the overuse of Motion Plus “puzzles” in the latest trailer. Apparently there’s a concern that the series is becoming too “puzzle-focused,” with a specific example being the fear that “puzzle-battles” that many feel have plagued the series’ recent bosses are now going to carry over to enemies as well.
Essentially the sentiment goes like this: originally Zelda was founded as an action-adventure type game where the difficulty came from the enemies and the environment, not from scripted “puzzles” that you have to perform in order to proceed. Getting through dungeons was usually bogged down by the fact that we kept dying, not that we couldn’t figure out how to progress. In recent years, these fans claim, Zelda games have shifted away from this action-centric approach and made Zelda into more of a puzzle game with some weak action elements. The inclusion of more puzzles has set the series on a downward spiral – and now they believe that Wii Motion Plus is going to make every fight yet another puzzle.
I can agree with part of this sentiment: dying is much less of a threat in recent Zelda games. I didn’t even die once in Twilight Princess. In that sense, I suppose you could say that the series has stepped a bit away from its origins. But there are two problems I have with the concerns, and they are that Zelda has always had a lot of puzzles and that the way enemies are constructed in Skyward Sword is a throwback to classic Zelda combat more than it is an infusion of puzzles into the action.
Usually the people in the “Zelda didn’t always have puzzles” camp think the trend began with Ocarina of Time. But this is not the case – just look back on the original Legend of Zelda. While it didn’t have very many types of puzzles, almost every dungeon had some kind of scripted obstacle that we had to overcome. Sometimes it was pushing blocks, which you needed to do in most levels to reach the “secret stairs” that led to the dungeon’s hidden item. Block pushing was even more prevalent in the Second Quest, which many hold to be the pinnacle of traditional Zelda action and difficulty. There was an entire dungeon where almost every room had a block to push. Outside of block pushing, there were three main types of puzzles: “burn the tree,” “bomb the wall,” and “play the Whistle” (the Second Quest added a fourth: “walk through the fake wall”).
At some point in the game, you needed to perform each one of these tasks in order to access or complete a dungeon, and again the Second Quest used these features even more prevalently. If you wanted to find all of the world’s secrets, you needed to take them even further – you needed to leave no tree unburned and no wall unbombed, and if neither of those solutions worked, try playing the flute! The Legend of Zelda has puzzles just like every other game in the series.
I’ve already discussed this with a few people, and a common response I’m getting is “those aren’t really puzzles, they’re secrets.” No, what they are is crappy puzzles that happen to be used as equally crappy secrets. While the fact that stuff is hidden all over the overworld is great, and something I really love about the game, even I can’t deny that actually finding these things is as tedious as the pixel-hints from Other M. Not to mention that half of them are dead-end caves with the Money-Making Game or Pay Me For the Door Repair guy anyway. It’s no surprise that the developers have done everything they can to improve on the series’ puzzles in the games since, because if every game were constructed that way we’d have gotten bored with the series a long time ago.
Yes, there’s definitely a big difference between these shallow tasks and the puzzles of the newer games, which often have you searching for items to open the way forward, or lighting a series of torches to open a door, or interacting with other various components of the world using your tools and skills, but these updates didn’t show up overnight. Adventure of Link had you go out and complete fetch quests in order to earn its trademark magic spells, A Link to the Past was actually the first to introduce the torch-lighting trick, and Link’s Awakening featured lots of spots where you were forced to use your tools to manipulate the dungeons. These kinds of puzzles aren’t exactly a newfangled novelty; they’ve been part of the series from the very beginning. The big difference is that they’ve evolved to become more logically- and organically-integrated into the game.
As for the enemies, I honestly can’t believe people are complaining about having to slash in a certain direction to fight effectively. In the first place, it’s certainly a vast improvement over the “Z-target, approach, rapidly tap B to win” combat structure of the other 3D games. Heck, most enemies in the 2D games are just as easy take down as well! Giving more enemies the ability to block your attacks and forcing you to use strategy and skill to circumvent their guard sounds like exactly what the series needs to infuse greater difficulty into the battle system.
But beyond that, aren’t such enemies staples of the series, too? Think about the Darknuts from the first game, which you had to stab from the side or in the rear. And what about the Iron Knuckles of Zelda II, which adjusted their shields high and low and forced you to aim your attacks around them? Link’s Awakening introduced enemies with swords that could parry your blows if you didn’t properly direct your hits. Ocarina of Time had Stalfos that held up their shields most of the time but were vulnerable when they dropped their guard or tried to attack you.
These were among the most challenging and memorable enemies of the older games, the one that kept us busting our fingers and burning through lives until we figured out a good rhythm for defeating them, and there’s no reason to believe that Skyward Sword‘s enemies will be any different. If these block-happy baddies weren’t considered “puzzles” back then, why are these fans accusing this new twist on the idea of being a “puzzle” now?
In the end, though, I think these fans are really the odd ones out. The customers have spoken, and based on the fact that all of the 3D and DS Zelda games have outsold their traditional 2D contemporaries1 (and this despite the GameBoy having a much bigger install base), it’s clear that most Zelda fans prefer the new to the old anyway, and are endlessly excited for the possibilities Skyward Sword offers. I’m proud to say that, for the most part at least, I stand among them. But opinions are opinions, and if people really want to think badly of the game based on what they’ve seen, they’re more than welcome – as long as they don’t ruin things for the rest of us. To me, though, this looks like another case of Zelda Fans Hate Zelda.

Jerusalem -- In the early morning hours of 20 May, Israeli military forces broke into and occupied UNRWA's Jenin Camp Reconstruction Project Office near Jenin camp in the West Bank. A shot was fired in the direction of UNRWA's senior project manager, Mr. Paul Wolstenholme, as he attempted to gain access to the office, but fortunately he remained unharmed. The soldiers detained the office's security guard. Mr. Wolstenholme, who attempted to convince the soldiers to leave the UNRWA installation, was not only detained for over three hours and threatened with physical violence, but was handcuffed and blindfolded as well. .
This is the second time Israeli soldiers have forcefully entered the Jenin Project Office. After UNRWA protested the first incursion, the IDF admitted that a mistake had been made by the soldiers and that there had been no intention to enter a UN facility. Apologies have again been received from several sources within the IDF, but the fact that the same mistake has recurred, combined this time with the abuse of Mr. Wolstenholme, is of great concern to UNRWA, particularly given that Mr. Wolstenholme's predecessor, Mr. Iain Hook, was shot and killed by an Israeli soldier in November 2002.
The Director of UNRWA Operations in the West Bank, Mr. Anders Fange, said: "I am personally upset and alarmed. Israel has agreed to ensure the protection and security of the personnel, installations and property of UNRWA, but this was not done in the present case." Mr. Fange expressed the hope that the Israeli military would in the future show greater restraint and respect for UN staff and installations.

We just returned from a visit to Peaks of Otter, Virginia, my personal Garden of Eden, and, as always, I discovered something new. The old was there, of course—Sharp Top is immutable and, I expect, will remain for thousands of years to come. For the first time ever, though, we visited the Peaks of Otter Winery and Johnson’s Orchards.
George and I were the only guests present, so we commanded full attention from the guy giving the wine-tastings. Said his name was Shannon; later, from their website, we realized his name was Shannon Johnson. (Johnson’s Orchards, remember?) He was keen on knowing our names, which we shared: George and Karen. He insisted that I try his wine, though we had told him I wasn’t a wine-drinker. I tasted one—burned the tip of my tongue as wine always does. He then asked what my favorite fruits were. My answer: grapefruit and watermelon. He couldn’t offer me a drink made from either of those. A minute later, he again asked about my favorite fruits. Hadn’t I already answered that question?
Then he focused on George, asking his favorites. George settled on blueberries and strawberries, but shortly, Shannon asked him which berries he preferred.
Hearing impaired, do you suppose?
Alrighty, then. We’re on a roll. One unexpected comment after another.
“Ooohhh… moonshiners before then?” I asked. He simply smiled.
It wasn’t until later, back on the Blue Ridge Parkway, that we realized Shannon must be a descendant of the Johnson family that operated Johnson’s Farm, a historic site that sits on one of the trails in the area. I’ve hiked to it, toured the house and wandered through its orchard many times during past visits. I speculate that when the government bought the old place to make way for the Parkway, Shannon’s ancestors relocated to the other side of Sharp Top to continue their farming operations. Shannon and his family are famous. And unique.
Yes, Shannon. Of course. On this day, outside of Bedford, Virginia, we’ll be whoever you want us to be.
