to the mystery of the Christ.
Does it matter much to you?
to the mystery of Emanuel, God-with-us.
The question before the one about what might this story mean to us is what is it doing here on the last Sunday before Lent. It’s time, we’d all agree, to take down the lights of Epiphany. You either believe or you don’t. But what do we believe or not? What did Jesus and the disciples do or not? Yes, the story takes a new direction once Jesus “turned his face toward Jerusalem,” but what might that have meant to the disciples who lived and worked with him when the times began to change?
Peter had proclaimed: “You are the Messiah…the son of the living God.” But then, Jesus told his squeamish friends that “ whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.” Now that’s serious talk – especially when you live in an violent and autocratic country. Maybe it was still a step too far for Peter. Or maybe he needed time to live with it and so, six days later the story goes, he saw the transfigured Jesus talking with Moses and Elijah.
The first thing we need to remember before we try to figure out what this might mean is that an experience is always different from its explanation. An experience is time-bound, so first-century experiences will always be revealed in first-century thought forms and vocabulary. Whatever happened on that mountaintop can be passed down to us, but only in whatever form it was held in the memories of Peter, James and John.
The next thing to remember is something we said last week – that perhaps it’s enough to focus on Jesus’ humanity and what it means to be truly human as the church leads us toward the mystical stories of Lent.
So what do we know? The four of them went up to a place apart to pray and Jesus appeared very different to them. In the circle of his inner light, two figures appeared — Moses and Elijah – both long gone heroes from two separate times in the past, showing up in the present as if time were not limited by death, but more like a light that could be stepped into and out of.
Whenever the Bible speaks of dazzling light, the hope behind the words links the light to the true presence of God’s Spirit – God’s Glory or God’s Shekinah, the rabbis would have said. So there they stood and talked within the light – Moses the Lawgiver, Elijah the Prophet and Jesus the Messiah – all wrapped in such dazzling light that it is wonder enough that Peter, James and John could see at all. They talked, only Luke tells us, about a departure, an exodus – not Moses’ exodus, but Jesus’ exodus.
But Peter, James and John did see, Luke says, and then they did not see anymore, because of the cloud and the voice saying again those words that had come before at Jesus’ baptism. Listen to him.
What we do not need to do with these words is to build a building, or an order of worship, or a way of speaking of God – that suites us and – in the doing – makes us feel like we have some control of the story. What Peter was suggesting was a plan that tried to freeze the moment – and cut its meaning down to a manageable size.
What we do need to do – is to see this otherworldly story in context, as part of ongoing life. If Jesus had mythically ascended into heaven with Moses and Elijah, he would have been an abnormality, not a Messiah, and it would have been impossible for us to see what he had in common with us before or after death.
As it did happen, he would die very much like those on either side of him, one of them begging to be saved from what was coming, and the other asking to be remembered when Jesus got to where he was going. He could not do anything for the one who wanted to be spared, but he did do a great thing for the other. Jesus told him that the darkness was light, dazzling light, a new way of living for both of them.
It might have been something he learned on the mountain, when light burst around and through him and showed him that humanity is more than flesh and bones. It might have been because the power of the One who first said “Let there be light,” is bound, like the light and the splinters of the cross, always and forever to undying love.
It is a lot to believe: that his path of love will lead down into the valley, through the dry cinders of Ash Wednesday and the tears of Good Friday. But from here on the mountaintop, we can look to the days ahead and remember that the journey through ashes and sorrow is never for its own sake. That God’s life includes and surrounds death itself. That, in the wholeness of God’s reality, even the darkness can dazzle. Amen.
As our latest project, Bridge of Faith is sending a van to Nigeria for use there.
As you can see, the van is jam-packed with boxes and bags of donated items, including items from BASES and Serenity Academy.
with a starker – even a life and death – view of reality.
Rather than an Ash Wednesday evening worship service, we will commemorate the start of Lent during the service on Feb. 18, We will again provide an opportunity to name something you want to give up or work on in your own life during Lent and then burn to make ashes. Please try to join us for this meaningful way to start the Lenten season.

Today I'm revealing a first glimpse inside my office. I thought you'd might like to have a look at where I'm blogging from. As I am spending the majority of my time at my desk I wanted my workspace to be classy yet cozy while still representing my ever growing love affair with everything eclectic and floral. To me it was quite important that my office space would have good lighting, reflect my personal style and allow some clutter while still keeping me concentrated and inspired. I find myself being constantly on the lookout for interesting objects that can stand on their own. The most important elements are a vintage brass and glass table, a pair of second hand rattan chairs, the most comfortable vintage looking yet brand new office chair I scored at Meubelen Online, my stunning shiny palmtree lamp I received for my thirtieth birthday two years ago, a mirrored side table by LaForma via Robin Design and my husband's old bookcase we made the most of by painting it green and gold and styling it with lots of books, pictures and vintage treasures.
There's still a lot of work to be done but I think we already succeeded in making the office space a warm and cozy one I will definitely work better in.

text: Abstract: Debt introduces firm vulnerability to insolvency as cash flow must be available to make interest payments. This paper reviews the empirical evidence on a sample of more than 6,000 real sector firms in 41 countries and their ability to service debt, as measured by the ratio of cash flow to interest expense, for the period 1994-01. Firm specific, sector-specific and macroeconomic factors all influence this ratio. The analysis specifically shows a strong link between macroeconomic conditions and ability to service debt; as GDP growth slows, cash flow becomes constrained, more than offsetting any impact from lower interest rates. This business cycle effect would account for much of the distress observed in the East Asian economies following the 1997 crisis. It also provides a basis for estimating the impact of a business cycle or macroeconomic shocks on loan or bond portfolios.

Monday begins my third week working at UPAVIM, and though I still have an extraordinary amount more to learn about this organization and this neighborhood, I’ve certainly more or less established a daily routine. And so, I figured that it would be appropriate to share what “a day in the life” looks like for me.
As I’ve said before, I am working in Reforzamiento, a tutoring program within the school portion of UPAVIM. I am there with two other volunteers, Linda and Paul, and our boss, Reyna, the spunkiest little Guatemalan I ever did meet! It is wonderful company, to be sure.
Our mornings start rather slowly (which is nice; it allows time for the coffee to kick in)… an hour of cleaning, lesson prepping, etc. We then spend two hours working with children who don’t go to any type of formal school, for whatever reason. We have four or five children who regularly come during this time, a few different ages. A large majority of our children throughout the day come from extraordinarily difficult home situations, be it due to poverty, abuse, a combination of the two, or something else entirely, and so unfortunately to have children such as these with little to no schooling background is not all that uncommon. I am still learning the details of these children’s particular stories, why it is that they are not in school, so on, and so forth… and though we are only able to do so much with them for such a small amount of time a few mornings a week, I am so thankful that they are able to have some form of an education, some bit of time to just be a child in a classroom with a teacher and books and toys.
And then for the next hour, in comes Prepa! “Prepa” is the equivalent of kindergarten in the U.S.; I learned recently that this particular group is actually a year younger than Prepa, meaning it’s more of “prepping for Prepa,” or, something along the lines of a preschool. At any rate, they are a dozen or so of the cutest, silliest little guys and gals, and spending an hour each morning singing, coloring, and counting with them brings me more smiles than I could ever begin to tell. We are moving on from crayons at some point in the next week; next stop: colored pencils. We’re all very excited.
We then have a two hour break for lunch, which is certainly a nice change from the twenty minutes (if that) I would generally have for lunch at previous jobs. Those two hours generally consist of siestas and Facebook.
After lunch begins more of the tutoring portion of the day. Linda, Paul, and I are technically meant to spend the first hour with the first grade, while Reyna has “real” Prepa, the second hour with the second grade while Reyna has third, and the third hour a mix of fourth, fifth, and sixth, but scheduling never works out quite that smoothly. These three hours are a mix of independent homework time and mini-lessons attempting to reinforce (hence, the name of the program, “Reforzamiento”) what they are supposed to be learning in school in the mornings. In theory, we try for a day of math, a day of reading and writing, and a day of social sciences each week, with the occasional English lesson here and there, but, you know, sometimes theory and practice don’t quite match up. And for reasons I certainly don’t understand, the kids, especially the older ones, love math. And so while it gets us off track more often than not, if they are actually excited to be doing multiplication and fractions and geometry, who are we to stop them?
The younger children are precious and so much fun, of course, but I truly love working with the older kids. As I have mentioned before, I am hoping (long-term) to work in the field of social development in Central America, particularly with teenagers, and this has so far been a really wonderful way to start with that.
One of the primary purposes of Reforzamiento – aside from the obvious academic portion of it – is to serve as a safe haven for these children, as a way for them to stay off of the streets, away from the violence and the negative influences of this neighborhood and its surrounding areas (or, in some cases, out of their violent homes) for just a bit longer each day after they finish school. And so each minute that they can spend inside with us, the better, as far as I’m concerned, and I know I’m not alone in that opinion.
I won’t pretend that it has been easy for me adjusting to life here. Living in La Esperanza is extremely challenging in and of itself, and I had an overwhelming number of second thoughts my first few days here: is this actually the type of work I want to be doing? Am I actually ready to commit to eight months? Am I capable of this work? Can I handle living in a neighborhood this dangerous for this long (and do I even want to)? But, in complete sincerity, at the risk of sounding so extraordinarily cliché, each morning and each afternoon, these children rid me of those doubts. They are beautiful; they are so resilient; they are so much stronger than I will ever be. To just stop and think about all that they have already had to witness and learn and endure at such young ages, and then to see their smiles, their joy, and their love: it is truly overwhelming at times. They have assured me each day so far that I have been here with them that, yes, for now, I am content. I am not going to change their lives; I do not have the ability to just make better opportunities exist for them, to keep them safe, to give them back their innocence. But, if nothing else, each day I can give them hugs, smiles, and at least an hour to just be children. And for that, I am so thankful.

.json file from ghost 1 to ghost 2.... HELP!
I try to put my blog from WP to ghost through a docker solution.
So i exported my WP datas to a .json file only compatible with the 1.0 version of ghost. It’s running ok.
If I export again this .json to load it in a ghost 2.0 container of ghost, my posts are ok but pictures don’t load.
Do you have a script to update the .json file please? or a solution to use ghost for my all blog.
Need to figure out if this behaviour is really broken or it was wishful from the beginning.
Hi @px_baudoux! The fix for the issue @Kate mentioned will go out with the release tomorrow (probably 2.14.1) could you please test once again once it’s out and see if image URLs are relative in your export .json files? Cheers!

Many who think that they have received the baptism of the Holy Spirit have only advanced in the natural love and not the Divine Love. Difference between God’s Spirit and the Holy Spirit.
Let me write for a short time upon a subject that will be of interest to you and to those who may read my messages.
What I desire to write upon tonight is the condition of those who think they have received the inflowing or baptism of the Holy Spirit, when the fact is that they have received only that advancement in the purification of their natural love and a harmony with the laws of their creation that causes them to believe that what they experience must be the result of a bestowal of the Love which the Holy Spirit brings to mortals. In this mistake so many humans indulge; and in the satisfaction or rather happiness which their experience, growing out of such an increase in the harmony, brings to them, they fully believe that the Holy Spirit has taken possession of their souls and caused the happiness. But in thus concluding, they are deceiving themselves, and will realize their mistake when they come to an awakening in the spirit life.
The Holy Spirit is that part of God’s Spirit that manifests His presence and care in conveying to men’s souls His Divine Love. This Love is the highest and greatest and most holy of His possessions, and can be conveyed to men only by the Holy Spirit; and this appellation is used in contradistinction to the mere spirit, which demonstrates to men the operation of God’s Soul in other directions and for other purposes. His creative spirit, and His caring spirit and the spirit that makes effective his laws and designs in the governing of the universe, are not the Holy Spirit, though equally part of God’s Soul, and equally necessary for the manifestations of His powers and the exercise of the energies of His Soul. These deal with the things of the universe that do not have interrelationship with the Soul of God and the souls of men, and whenever the Holy Spirit is spoken of it should mean only that part of God’s Spirit which transforms the souls of men into the Substance of the Soul of God in its Quality of Love.
I heard the preacher discourse Sunday night on the work of the Holy Spirit as portrayed in the contents of the New Testament, and saw that his conclusions from these contents were wholly erroneous and apart from the truth. As he said, the effects of the workings of the Holy Spirit are shown in more ways than one, and not everyone upon whom it is bestowed is filled with the same powers of displaying its presence and possession. Now in all these evidences of its existence in the experiences given, it must be understood that it is limited in its operations to those conditions and manifestations that have their source in the Divine Love of the Father, that was bestowed upon mankind at my coming in the flesh, and that those evidences of the existence that have no relationship to this Love are not evidences of the presence of the Holy Spirit. As mentioned in the New Testament, when it was bestowed upon my disciples at Pentecost, it came as with the sound of a mighty rushing wind, which has before been explained to you, that shook the room in which the disciples were assembled, and filled them with its powers, which means only that this Divine Love came into their souls in such abundance that they were shaken in their souls to such an extent that they thought the building in which they were assembled was disturbed. But in this they were mistaken, for the effect of the presence of the Holy Spirit is not to affect the things of inanimate nature, but is confined to the souls of men.
And the preacher must know, that because men are possessed with powers to accomplish the mental or material things of their living, they are not necessarily possessed with the Holy Spirit. Much of the physical healing of mortals is caused by powers that are bestowed upon men, or some men that are not connected with or proceed from the Holy Spirit. That there is evidence of this, men will recollect that the Old Testament is full of instances where men were healed of their diseases, and other wonderful things performed, at the time that the Holy Spirit was excluded from man’s possession. Yet these marvels, as then considered, were performed by men claiming to be endowed with the Spirit of God, which is working for the good and happiness of mankind, and which will continue to work until men shall become in harmony with themselves as first created.
I understand the object of the preacher in attempting to show and convince his hearers, that because they have not those powers that the Bible describes as having been possessed by my disciples after the bestowal of the Holy Spirit, that therefore, they must not believe and conclude that they, his hearers, have not this blessing. His intentions and efforts were commendable, and arose from the desire that his hearers should not become disheartened and disappointed in their efforts to obtain the inflowing of the Love that the Holy Spirit brings to men; but on the other hand, his teachings were dangerous and misleading to these hearers, for the natural consequence of such teaching is to lead men into the belief or persuasion that they possess this power and Comforter, when they do not, and thus prevent them from seeking for an obtaining this Comforter in the only way in which it can be obtained. The Holy Spirit primarily, has nothing to do with great mental or physical achievements, and to say that because a man is a great inventor or philosopher or surgeon who does things without knowing where the inspiration or suggestion to do the things comes from, therefore he is possessed of the Holy Spirit, is all wrong and misleading.
All things, mediately1 or immediately, have their existence and operation and growth in the Spirit of God, and only in that Spirit, and which Spirit is evidenced in many and varied ways in men’s experience; and hence, men say that they live and move and have their being in God, meaning only that they live and move and have their being in God’s Spirit. This Spirit is the source of life and light and health and numerous other blessings that men possess and enjoy - the sinner as well as the saint, the poor man as well as the rich, the ignorant as well as the enlightened and educated - and are each and all dependent on this Spirit for their being and comfort. This is the Spirit that all men possess to a great or less degree, and the brilliant preacher or teacher or orator, possessing this Spirit to a greater degree than his less favored brother, depends upon the same Spirit. It is universal in its existence and workings, is omnipresent, and may be acquired by all men in this sense to the degree that their mental receptivity permits. And this further demonstrates the fact that God, through and by this Spirit, is with men always, in the lowest hells as well as in the highest heavens of the perfect man. It is working continuously, ceaselessly and always at the call of men, be that call mental or spiritual. It is the thing that controls the universe of which man’s earth is an infinitesimal part. This is the Spirit of God.
But the Holy Spirit while a part of the Spirit of God, yet is as distinctive as is the soul of man distinctive from all other creations of God; it is that part of God’s Spirit that has to do with the relationship of God’s Soul and man’s soul, exclusively.
The subject of Its operation is the Divine Love of the Father’s Soul and the object of Its workings is the soul of man, and the great goal to be reached by Its operations is the transforming of the soul of man into the Substance of the Father’s Love, with Immortality as a necessary accompaniment. This is the great miracle of the universe; and so high and sacred and merciful is the transformation, that we call that part of God’s Spirit that so works, the Holy Spirit.
So let not teachers or preachers teach, or their hearers believe that every part of God’s Spirit that operates upon the heart’s and thoughts and feelings of man is the Holy Spirit, for it is not true. Its mission is the salvation of men in the sense of bringing them into that harmony with God, that the very souls of men will become a part in substance and not in image merely of the Soul of God and without this working of the Holy Spirit men cannot become in such union.
I have written you before as to how this Holy Spirit works and the way in which it can bring men the Divine Love of the Father, and what is necessary for it’s inflowing. The way described is the only way, and men must not believe and rest in the security of such belief, that every working of the Spirit of God, is the working of the Holy Spirit.

Contents: Keeping portfolio on-track, investor self-knowledge questions, vacation house a financial mistake, real estate ups Canadians’ wealth, 401(k) retirement complex screwing Americans, lower money velocity kept inflation in check-so far, preparing for parents’ loss of independence, brokers lure government retirees away from gold standard of 401(k) plans.
In ETF.com’s “Easy money policy= Inflation?” Larry Swedroe argues that despite all the predictions the outcome of easy money provided by the Fed under QE1, QE2 and QE3, has not resulted (so far) in high inflation. “While loose monetary policy—along with our massive budget deficits—does create the risk of (or potential for) rising inflation, it certainly isn’t a guarantee that rising inflation will occur… the velocity of money has been falling sharply, from 2.0 at the end of 2007 to 1.5 at the end of the second quarter of 2014. If velocity were to increase, the Fed would have to undo its bond buying program to shrink the monetary base and prevent inflation from becoming a problem. And that could put pressure on interest rates.” Japan’s deflation for the past 25 years is given as the most recent demonstration of how easy money and massive government deficits do not necessarily lead to inflation.
In the WSJ’s “When elderly parents lose their independence” Tom Lauricella discusses some of the right and wrong ways to approach the transition when “older adult needs to give up his or her independence”. It is always best to give older adults an opportunity to make their own choices”. So even the stage setting question should not come from “we want your input should we have to make a decision in case of an emergency” but instead “we want to do the best job carrying out your wishes”; the latter question is empowering the older adult to be in charge. Other topics discussed involve the type of residence/facility, what will be taken in the usually downsizing experience, how finances will be handled and who will execute the relocation.

Senator Steven Meredith speaks at fiscal court.
Edmonson County Fiscal Court was held on Monday, January 28, 2019 in the upstairs courtroom of the county courthouse.
No major discussions were shared; however, various county offices gave reports and general business and budgets were discussed.
Road Report- Assistant County Road Foreman Greg Carroll said the road crew poured 75 tons of salt on the roadways last week and they still have 300 tons to use for the rest of the winter. Both the part time and full job positions for the road crew have been filled. Mowing will be moving into district 5 and the road department gate will be complete in 3-4 weeks.
EM Director Report- EM Director Terry "Moose" Massey reported 11 emergency runs since the first of the year.
Sheriff Report- Sheriff Shane Doyle reported an eventful last few weeks which included a burglary in the 5th district. He discussed how a woman found a man in her house when she came home and there was a physical altercation-- but the woman stood her ground. The burglar was found with a hand gun and drugs, while wearing a large knife. The sheriff said the man was located with a woman inside a vehicle and both were arrested.
He also reported that his office assisted Grayson County Sheriff deputies in a missing person case. After further investigation the missing person was confirmed deceased. Sheriff Doyle also reported on a shooting that happened at the Moutardier Marina cabins on January 25th. The victim was shot twice with a shotgun and air lifted to Louisville, and is still in critical condition. According to Doyle the suspect was located and arrested within 3-4 hours. We'd like to thank everyone that helped with this case," said Sheriff Doyle. In addition to Edmonson County Deputies, the Grayson County Sheriff's Office, Brownsville Police Chief Jeff Jewell, Mammoth Cave National Park Rangers, Leitchfield Police, Edmonson County Dispatch, Kentucky State Police, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers all worked together.
Jailer Report- There are currently 15 inmates at the Hart County jail and one on the home incarceration program. There has not been any medical issues and all vehicles are in working order.
County Attorney Report- Greg Vincent will be attending the Kentucky County Attorney Conference from February 13th through the 15th. The lawsuit between the county and the former clerk has been resolved and should receive a payment of around $6000 within a month.
Parks and Rec Report- Parks director A.B Webb reported vandalism on the doors of the Brownsville park main bathroom. Webb also said they plan to lay new tile in the bathroom along with putting in new toilets.
Tourism Report- Rhonda Clemmons stated that Mammoth Cave has reopened the cave tours. The park is currently reviewing applicants for a new park manager. It was reported that over 97 applications were turned in for the position. Tourism is stilling working with the SOKY Film Commission.
Corner Report- 24 term deaths over the last year were reported to the court.
State Senator Steve Meredith also attended Fiscal Court this morning. Meredith spoke about passing of the TVA bill which benefits rural counties in Kentucky. Edmonson County is one of 39 counties of which allocated funds of $2 million will be evenly divided to in Fiscal Year ’18-’19, then $4 million to be evenly divided between the counties in Fiscal Year ’19-’20. He said the purpose of these funds is to continually ready sites and upgrade infrastructure to attract business and create jobs within these rural counties. The senator also spoke about his commitment to eliminate waste in Frankfort. One of the ways Meredith said he plans to do this is by pushing for doing away with the office of Lieutenant Governor. Meredith believes there is no need for this position and doing away with it has the potential to save 1 million dollars a year.
The Edmonson County High School Youth Leadership group also attended Fiscal Court this morning. The group met with county officials after court. The Youth Leadership program is made up of high school students and the purpose of the program is to engage in local community efforts. Next month the group will be visiting Frankfort to learn more about state government.
Edmonson County Youth Leadership members with Fiscal Court.
The Court acknowledged Edmonson County Ambulance Service Rate Revision.
The court approved the KY Board of Emergency Medical Services Ambulance grant application. This is an annual $10,000 grant that allows the purchase of specific equipment.
The court also approved the Resolution EC19-02, affiliation agreement between Barren River District Health Department and EC Emergency management.
Sheriff Shane Doyle shared budget comparisons of Todd and Butler County after budget concerns were expressed by magistrate Clark Wood, who had earlier stated that each of those counties had similar populations as Edmonson but were able to run their respective offices at a much lower budget amount. In the comparisons, Doyle noted what those county’s deputies are paid along with how many deputies the counties have, which was significantly higher than Edmonson County.
Doyle also stated the following line items are not included in the Todd County sheriff budget: the court security officer’s salary and benefits, along with workman’s comp, unemployment insurance and phone bills, all of which are in his budget. The fiscal court portion of the Todd County sheriffs budget is $158,575. He noted that $399,975 is from fees collected, and $315,545 from the general fund, which bring the total budget to $715,520--which is nearly $100k more than Doyle's budget of $616,600.
Butler County has the following line items not in sheriff’s budget is retirement: social security/Medicaid, unemployment, workman’s comp, health insurance and phone bill. The fiscal court portion of the Butler County sheriffs budget is $235,222, $445,022 is from fees collected, and $411,210 from the general fund, which brings their total budget to $856,232, which is nearly $240K more than Doyle's.
Doyle stated that he is currently having to pay for expenses out of the drug fund. The sheriff concluded by asking the magistrates to talk with magistrates from other to counties get insight for how they fund their sheriff departments.
Judge Executive Wil Cannon brought up the discussion of non-essential vs essential employees. During bad weather if Judge Cannon declares an emergency essential employees (road crew, dispatch, deputies etc.) are required to come to work while non-essential employees (clerks, office staff etc.) do not have to come in but still receive pay. Canon expressed his recommendation to keep this system as is. His second recommendation would be to allow time and half if the employee’s hours surpassed 40 hours. The court will have further discussion next meeting.
Next fiscal court meeting is scheduled for February 11, 2019 at 9:00 am.

The European System of National and Regional Accounts (ESA 2010) has replaced the old ESA 95 as the reference methodology for compiling the Belgian national accounts. The ESA 2010 was introduced by Regulation (EU) No 549/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 and must be applied in all Member States as of September 2014.
When the national accounts are compiled, as a global statistic, several classifications are taken into consideration. (Dutch, French).
Regulation (EC) No 479/2009 requires the Member States to send Eurostat inventories describing the sources and methods used to calculate the data supplied: Belgium’s EDP inventory and the list of public units.
Regarding the publication of Opinions on the statistical treatment of particular operations in response to calls from government authorities, the Board of the NAI has decided to adopt the same approach as Eurostat and publish the Opinions it has given (Dutch or French) from 30 March 2007 onwards on its website.

text: The metabolic and mitogenic potencies of six different insulin analogues were determined by measuring glucose transport in primary adipocytes and DNA synthesis in CHO cells respectively. Three analogues showed a disproportionately high mitogenic potency compared with their metabolic potency, and were up to 7 times more mitogenically than metabolically potent when compared with human insulin. The mitogenic/metabolic potency ratio of the analogues was found to be inversely correlated with the insulin receptor dissociation rate constant (Kd) in an exponential fashion (r = 0.99), with a disproportionately greater increase in mitogenic potential compared with metabolic potential for analogues with Kd values of less than 40% of that of human insulin. To investigate the molecular mechanisms behind the correlation between the increased half-life of the receptor–ligand complex (low Kd) and mitogenicity, 3 h time-course experiments were performed. Slow ligand dissociation from the insulin receptor induced a parallel sustained activation of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase. A similar pattern was observed for insulin receptor autophosphorylation and Shc phosphorylation, whereas the duration of insulin receptor substrate-1 phosphorylation with low-Kd analogues and with insulin was similar. Thus the increased half-life of the ligand–receptor complex induces sustained activation of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase and sustained phoshorylation of Shc, which may be the cause of the disproportionately high mitogenic potency seen for some insulin analogues.

Issues related to further deepening relations between the two Armenian capitals were discussed during the meeting.
President Sahakyan considered important multilateral cooperation with the Yerevan city considering it useful both for Stepanakert and for the whole Artsakh. The President also added that there are all the necessary preconditions for further widening and expanding the ties.
Bako Sahakyan expressed gratitude to the mayor of Yerevan for providing technical equipment to the Shoushi communal service and assisting the process of the town's beautification. The Head of the State rated high the initiative of Yerevan city administration to lay out a park of Freedom Fighter in the center of Stepanakert considering its importance from both political and moral-psychological viewpoints.
Vice-premier Arthur Aghabekyan, mayor of Stepanakert Souren Grigoryan, chairman of the Artsakh Union of Freedom Fighters Samvel Karapetyan and other officials partook at the meeting.

Kia Motors are planning to enter the premium sedan segment in India by launching the Optima. The Korean automaker will have high hopes on the sedan, despite the diluting image of the premium sedan segment. We can expect the Optima to be launched sometime in 2020, which is a couple of years away from now.
Uncamouflaged Kia Optima spotted testing on a highway somewhere in India, an image published by CarWale.
The Optima has an aggressive design on the exterior. One of the highlights of its design is the sharp creases all over the body of the vehicle. It may well have the ability to convince potential buyers and attract some crowd.
On practicality, Kia will provide the Optima with a host of features. Some of them include a 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, powered driver and passenger seats, rear camera, rear park assist, lane change assist and so on. On the safety front, the Optima will come with ABS and 6 airbags.
In India, Kia Optima might compete against the likes of the Skoda Octavia and the upcoming Honda Civic.
Engine-wise, we can expect to see quite a few engine options on the sedan. These include a 2.4 litre petrol motor, 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol motors and a 1.6 litre diesel engine, seen on the Hyundai Elantra Depending on the variants, Kia will provide a 6-speed automatic transmission or a 7-speed dual clutch one on the Optima.
We can expect the Optima to be priced closed to its rivals when launched. It will rival the likes of the Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Elantra, Skoda Octavia and the yet to be launched Honda Civic. With the Optima in their ranks, Kia Motors is expected to make a blazing entry to the Indian market.

After Psyche’s exile, Orual is haunted by the sound of the chains of the well moving in the wind, which sounds just like a girl crying in the garden. The chains act as a constant reminder of her guilt, keeping her from completely burying her old self as she tries to when she becomes Queen. She wants to forget what she did to Psyche, long refusing to acknowledge that she was at fault, but the sound of the chains is always there to dredge up the past. In fact, the chains effectively chain her to her memories of Psyche. Orual’s decision to build thick stone walls around the well to muffle the sound echoes her decision to veil her face. In both instances, she puts up a physical barrier to hide truths about herself that she doesn’t want to acknowledge.
But the change of my quarters, and later changes (for I tried every side of the house) did no good. I discovered that there was no part of the palace from which the swinging of those chains could not be heard; at night, I mean, when the silence grows deep. It is a thing no one would have found out who was not always afraid of hearing one sound; and at the same time (that was Orual, Orual refusing to die) terribly afraid of not hearing it if for once—if possibly, at last, after ten thousand mockeries—it should be real, if Psyche had come back.

Yesterday was yet another cooking class, who likes Italian cooking?
I participated in yet another cooking class with a few of my friends. My friend Patryk who has done other cooking classes for us taught us more wonder Italian dishes.
On yesterday’s menu it was Bolognese sauce, tiramisu and pizza.
Chef Patryk showing us how to make Bolognese sauce.
Now I know why I buy already stewed and peeled tomatoes. This is way to time consuming.
Next up, we learned to make tiramisu.
Some of the ladies got way fancy with their tiramisu. Notice the half filled one? That is my diet version of it.
He even gave me his secret pizza dough recipe! Now I know even though I have the recipe and I make it home it is not going to taste the same, just like Grandma’s recipes.
Getting some inside tips on how to roll a perfect pizza crust.
Mine pizza that I made. Not as round as his but hey not pad for my first time.
We even got a quick lesson on how to properly cook noodles. I have been cooking them all wrong my whole life!
After simmering for 2 hours the sauce is finally done. This looked amazing. I didn’t try it because it would totally break my diet.
What a fun time we had yesterday!
Yes, I love to cook but I don’t do it at home as much as I should but now that I know how easy it is to make Bolognese sauce I might have to try to make it myself.
Now if you want to totally cheat and have someone else do the cooking for you just head over to Patryk’s restaurant, PapaGrande and let them do all the cooking for you!
If you could be a master chef at any one food specialty what would it be? Me, I would love to be a master at Mexican food.

CLEVELAND, OH — Sept 13, 2016 — Linear Acoustic, a Telos Alliance company and part of the newly created TV Solutions Group, is pleased to announce that esteemed New Jersey-based broadcast systems integrator, Diversified, has selected the AERO.100 DTV Audio Processor as part of a major project for a large U.S. client.
AERO.100 was chosen primarily because of its many “out-of-the-box” capabilities, which include industry standard Linear Acoustic AEROMAX loudness control, UPMAX-II stereo to 5.1 upmixing, and Dolby encoding. Convenience features such as the comprehensive TCP/IP remote control, which allows remote setup, processing adjustments, and loudness metering and monitoring, also played a role in the decision.
A total of 57 AERO.100 units were shipped to Diversified’s Atlanta location to be included in the in-house pre-build of the new systems. Once fully integrated and tested, the entire system, including the AERO.100’s, will be transferred to the client’s location in New England.

MarketAxess Reports Third Quarter 2010 Record Revenues of $37.4 Million, Record Pre-Tax Income of $13.5 Million and Diluted EPS of $0.22 | MarketAxess Holdings, Inc.
*All comparisons versus third quarter 2009.
MarketAxess Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: MKTX), the operator of a leading electronic trading platform for U.S. and European high-grade corporate bonds, emerging markets bonds and other types of fixed-income securities, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.
"Our record revenue and earnings results reflect strong momentum in our core e-trading product areas and disciplined expense management," said Richard M. McVey, chairman and chief executive officer of MarketAxess. "Operating margins continue to grow and we are investing actively in the new OTC derivative opportunities that are emerging as part of financial market regulatory reform."
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2010 increased 24.7% to $37.4 million, compared to $30.0 million for the third quarter of 2009. Pre-tax income was a record $13.5 million, compared to $8.5 million for the third quarter of 2009, an increase of 58.3%. Pre-tax margin was 36.1%, compared to 28.5% for the third quarter of 2009. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the third quarter of 2010 was $15.1 million, compared to $10.2 million for the third quarter of 2009, an increase of 47.9%. Net income totaled $8.6 million, or $0.22 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $4.6 million, or $0.12 per share on a diluted basis, for the third quarter of 2009.
Commission revenue for the third quarter of 2010 totaled $31.2 million on total trading volume of $100.5 billion, compared to $25.3 million in commission revenue on total trading volume of $80.4 billion for the third quarter of 2009. U.S. high-grade trading volume as a percentage of FINRA's high-grade TRACE trading volume increased to an estimated 8.3%, compared to an estimated 6.5% for the third quarter of 2009.
Technology products and services revenue, which includes revenue for technology licenses, support and professional services, totaled $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2010, compared to $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2009. Other revenue, which consists of information and user access fees, investment income and other revenue, increased 32.4% to $2.8 million, compared to $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2009.
Total expenses for the third quarter of 2010 increased 11.3% to $23.9 million, compared to $21.5 million for the third quarter of 2009. The majority of the increase was due to higher employee compensation and benefits expense of $1.2 million.
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2010 was 36.3%, compared to 45.7% for the third quarter of 2009.

Becoming financially affluent is not only about increasing your income. You must also be able to wisely manage the money you have. So I threw together an Excel Spreadsheet for you to use in your endeavor. This is the same format I have used for well over a decade. It may seem overly simplistic but that is the point. An overly complicated budget will not be helpful in the long run because you will just become frustrated with it later and give up. This one you can just set and forget, only to occasionally update it.
First a few words about “cash”. I believe that an integral part of a budgeting lifestyle is cash. You can feel cash, not just on your finger tips, but you can measure it easily, you can enjoy the sensation of having it in your pocket, you will feel it in a more impactful way when it leaves you. Debt/credit cards are a wonderful part of our everyday lives, but they are also deceitful for you because you spend more than you should without realizing it. If you give yourself a weekly allowance of cash, you will be able to more mindfully make decisions about how you are spending your money.
The premise of the budget is simple. You need to figure out the amount of money you make weekly first. This is all the money from the different sources you earn from all tallied up and expressed in a weekly number. Next, do the same thing with your mandatory expenses. Mandatory is not usually trips to Starbucks, clothing, haircuts, etc. Think of your household as a separate entity from yourself. Only add in the necessary items which your household requires to run. These will include rent, utilities, fuel, groceries (which includes cleaning products, dog food, anything you pick up while grocery shopping), credit card payments, Netflix, etc. All the normal things that come out of your account every month/week to run your household. Then, subtract your expenses from your income to come up with the amount of money you actually have to spend every week. The number you come up with here can either be exciting or scary, but either way it is a truth you need to know.
Pick an amount from the left over money to give yourself as a cash allowance. You will use this money for all the extra stuff you do. Hair cuts, movies, coffee, restaurants, gifts, etc. If there is any left over funds after you have allotted yourself this cash, start paying off some extra on your debts, add extra to savings, or give yourself some extra cash every week. If you have next to no money left over to give yourself an allowance, then you need to either live like a college kid for a while until you get your debt under control or look for ways to start earning some extra money, or both.
Make sure you keep whatever portion of income in your bank account to cover the mandatory expenses. Pay those expenses with that account any way that works for you. I personally set up auto pay on most everything and slide my debit card for the fuel, groceries and other things like that. I go to the ATM on a weekly basis and get my cash allowance out to put into my wallet.
Without further ado, here is the budget template I promised easybudget . I added in some example numbers so you could see how the spreadsheet functions. Just replace those numbers with your own.
One last thing. Two-thirds of Americans do not use a budget at all. Chances are, you do not either. Breaking through this threshold is a must for anyone desiring to become financially affluent. Helping others get control of their money is a passion of mine so please ask questions if you need help. If this budget helps you, feel free to share it with others!

If you do remember the first time I wrote about yield being poison, you are unusual, because it was the first real post at Aleph Blog. A very small post — kinda cute, I think when I look at it from almost ten years ago… and prescient for its time, because a lot of risky bonds were about to lose value (in 19 months), aside from the highest quality bonds.
I decided to write this article this night because I decided to run my bond momentum model — low and behold, it yelled at me that everyone is grabbing for yield through credit risk, predominantly corporate and emerging markets, with a special love for bank debt closed end funds.
I get the idea — short rates are going to rise because the Fed is tightening and inflation is rising globally, and there is no credit risk anymore because economic growth is accelerating globally — it’s not just a US/Trump thing. I just have a harder time playing the game because we are in the wrong phase of the credit cycle — profit growth is nonexistent, and debts are growing.
That said, I would be more bearish on the US Dollar if it had some real competition. All of the major currencies have issues. Gold, anyone? Low short rates and rising inflation are the ideal for gold. Watch the real cost of carry go more negative, and you get paid (sort of) for holding gold.
If growth and inflation persist globally (consider some of the work @soberlook has been doing at The WSJ Daily Shot — a new favorite of mine, even his posts are too big) then almost no bonds except the shortest bonds will be any good in the intermediate-term — back to the ’70s phrase “certificates of confiscation.” One other effect that could go this way — if the portion of Dodd-Frank affecting bank leverage is repealed, the banks will have a much greater ability to lend overnight, which would be inflationary. Of course, they could just pay special dividends, but most corporations lean toward growing the business, unless they are disciplined capital allocators.
But it is not assured that the current growth and inflation will persist. M2 Monetary velocity is still low, and the long end of the yield curve does not have yield enough priced in for additional growth and inflation. Either long bonds are a raving sell, or the long end is telling us we are facing a colossal fake-out in the midst of too much leverage globally.
I’m going to stay high quality and short for now, but I will be watching for the current trends to break. I may leg into some long Treasuries, and maybe some foreign bonds. Gold looks interesting, but I don’t think I am going there. I’m not making any big moves in the short run — safe and short feels pretty good for the bond portfolios that I manage. I think it’s a time to preserve principal — there is more credit risk than the market is pricing in. It might take a year or two to get there, or it might be next month… I would simply say stay flexible and look for a time where you have better opportunities. There is no fat pitch at present for long only investors like me.
To those playing with fire buying dividend paying common stocks, preferred stocks, MLPs, etc. for yield — if we hit a period where credit risk becomes obvious — all of your “yield plays” will behave like stocks in a poisoned sector. There could be significant dividend cuts. Dividends are not guaranteed like bonds — bonds must pay or it is bankruptcy. Managements avoid defaulting on their bonds and loans, but will not hesitate to cut or not pay dividends in a crisis — it is self-preservation, at least in the short-run. Even if they get replaced by angry shareholders, the management typically gets some sort of parachute if the company survives, and far less in bankruptcy.
One final note on this point — stocks that have a lot of yield buyers behave more like bonds. If bond yields rise above current stock earnings yields, the stock prices will fall to reprice the yield of the stock, even if there is no bankruptcy risk.
And, if you say you can hold on and enjoy the rising dividends of your high quality companies? Accidents happen, the same way they did to some people who bought houses in the middle of the last decade. Many could not ride out the crisis because of some life event. Make sure you have a margin of safety. In a really large crisis, the return on risk assets may look decent from ten years before to ten years after, but a lot of people get surprised by their need to draw on those assets at the wrong moment — bad events come in bunches, when the credit cycle goes bust. Be careful, and don’t reach for yield.


text: Have you ever thought about prayer like that? God not only wants us to talk to Him… He allows us to! The Creator of every star in the sky and every cell in our body wants us to take a few minutes out of our day and chat with Him. Tell Him how we’re feeling… what hurts… and what we need help with. And on top of that, God listens! He specifically hears each individual voice calling out to Him. Hebrews 4:16 tells us that we are to approach His throne with confidence, knowing that what we lift up to Him matters to Him, too. In our prayers today… let’s thank God for not only saying we should pray, but for being gracious enough to allow our simple voices to reach His loving heart.

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque will give Diego Costa as long as he can before deciding on whether or not to include the injured Atletico Madrid striker in his World Cup squad.
Costa is suffering from a hamstring tear that is set to sideline him for at least a fortnight and has cast serious doubts on whether he will be part of Spain's title defence in Brazil.
"We don't know any more about Diego Costa than what was in the medical report. He has a muscular injury and we're monitoring his recovery; we will wait until the last minute before making our decision," Del Bosque told Spanish radio station Cadena SER.
"The other day I said that I would like all the players to be in good condition by 2 June, but that doesn't mean that I cannot make an exception.
"We're not doing this on a whim, we have until the second to give the list of 23 and we don't have to rush things. I hope he makes it, but we have good alternatives."
"All of the national team squads are difficult to select. We will try to take the best decision for the country."
A fully-fit Costa would have been a certainty for the World Cup after a fantastic season with Atletico.
Diego Costa scored 36 goals in all competitions to help Atletico win their first Primera Division title since 1996 and also reach the UEFA Champions League final.

You absolutely don't need to worry because you will receive the same special service as those Guests dining earlier in the night. I feel sure that you won't be rushed through your meal in order for them to get you out the door by 10:00 p.m. either. Feel free to arrive a little early and maybe you will be seated earlier than your scheduled time. If not, you can enjoy a tropical cocktail at Tambu Lounge while you wait.

The other day we were at Melbourne Museum too see the amazing exhibit Afghanistan: Hidden Treasures. It is only running until 28th July, so if you are in Melbourne you should really make an effort to go. While there we also had a look at The Lie of the Land. After all this ‘exhibit-looking’ my boys need to run around a bit, and Melbourne Museum has that covered too with a great out-door space for kids to blow off some steam.
IrishKing and IrishDoom decided to show me how to hula hoop. They had seen people do it, how hard can it be? Gotta love a kid’s positive attitude! They started the hoops off at full force, hoping momentum would keep them going.
Not naturals are you boys?

The possibility of a public health emergency such as a natural disaster, act of terrorism or disease outbreak, is a concern for some Kentuckians. You can take steps now to help you prepare for an emergency and cope if an emergency happens. To help you prepare, we’ve provided step-by-step actions you can take beforehand to protect yourself and your loved ones. Having an emergency supply kit and a family communication plan are vital in all types of emergency situations.
If a disaster strikes in your community, you might not have access to food, water or electricity for several days. You may think you will have time to run to the grocery store; but, stores quickly sell out of important supplies following emergency warnings. Unfortunately, about half of adults in the United States do not have the resources and plans in place for a possible emergency. Preparing emergency kits for your family is an important step in keeping them safe and healthy during a disaster.
In an emergency, citizens may call at any time seven days a week, 24 hours a day. This hotline will be available during the first six days of a public health emergency or biological/chemical terrorist attack.
