This beautiful passage from St. Paul tells us the reason for the hope we have in Jesus Christ.
We trust in God because we know that our Father has a plan of love for history and a purpose for every one of our lives.
God’s plan for history is for Jesus Christ to be the firstborn of many brothers and sisters. God’s plan is to grow his family and his Kingdom — his Catholic Church.
So every human life has a purpose in God’s plan of love. St. Paul tells us this evening: We are destined and called to be conformed to the image of his Son. Our purpose is to be children of God, living in the family of God, his Church.
God our Father is still sending his Church out into the fields of this world to gather a people to himself. He is still calling his Church to make us all brothers and sisters in Jesus — one family of God drawn from every nation, people and tongue.
The Church’s mission — yesterday and today and forever — is evangelization. There is no other reason for the Church. And in a special way, this mission is entrusted to the Church’s bishops, who are the successors of Christ’s first apostles.
So this evening we are here to pray for our brother, Bishop Kevin Vann, as he prepares for his mission as the new Bishop of Orange.
And we know that these words that we have just heard from St. Paul have a deeper meaning for those of us who are bishops. Because in God’s plan of love, the bishop has a unique destiny and calling.
We know, as St. Paul tells us, that we are called to be sons of God. We know that before we are anything else, we are children and he is our Father. We need to nourish this filial identity. This is essential to our spiritual lives.
But by our priesthood and by our episcopal ordination we are called according to a higher purpose. We are called to a more intimate relationship — a more intimate conformity — with the image of Christ.
As bishops, we are conformed to Christ in his image as the Son who shows us the Father. We are conformed to him in his image as the Good Shepherd.
Tonight we pray that Bishop Kevin Vann — and all of us who are bishops — will rediscover and deepen our identification with Jesus our Lord and Good Shepherd.
We pray for the courage to lay down our lives — to offer ourselves every day — for the good of our flock. We pray for the vision to guide our people through the dark valleys of this culture of death.
But especially we pray for the grace to be a source of hope and encouragement to the family of God. To provide our world with the living waters of our faith, and with the conviction that God is with us and that he is calling us to build the “civilization of love” —transforming our lives, our families and our society.
The world needs a new evangelization! And God is calling us in these days to be good shepherds of the new evangelization!
This is our mission as bishops, my brothers. And this is the task for the whole Church in our time.
So let us entrust our ministries and ourselves to our Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Let us ask Mary to watch over Bishop Kevin Vann and to guide him as he assumes this new duties as Shepherd of the family of God in Orange.
May the Lord our Good Shepherd, through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, give him a heart to know his sheep and to lay down his life for them. And may we all come to a new awareness of our vocation as children of God and our responsibilities for the new evangelization of our world.

All shops, schools, banks, public and private institutions remained closed and all transport ceased for the third day Monday as residents of Vavuniya district observed complete shut down condemning the assassination of Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Jaffna Parliamentarian Raviraj and in protest against the Sri Lanka government's (GoSL) economic embargo on the Jaffna peninsula by the closure of A9 landroute.
The shut down came in response to a call, made by an organisation called Tamil National Forces, to observe complete shut down in Vavuniya district for three days.
Meanwhile, Vavuniya police said that unknown armed men had attacked Sunday night the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) camp in the Sector 15 area on the Vavuniya-Chettikulam-Mannar road with mortar fire seriously injuring two SLA troopers.
The two injured troopers were rushed to Anuradapura hospital.
Around 40 mortar shells were fired in the attack which lasted for an hour, the police said.
The attack took place near the Kallaru bridge on the Mathawadchi-Mannar road.

Most if not all people feel nervous before and during a job interview. For the past ten years, I’ve been helping people prepare for job interviews. I’m also a very experienced interviewer, but recently, when asked to be on a radio talk show, I went through the same emotions and nervousness as all my clients do—despite my vast experience. It’s normal. I just now listened to an old interview of famous Italian opera singer Luciano Pavarotti in which he revealed that—despite his years and years of seven-day-a-week vocal practice and endless stage appearances in front of thousands of people in an audience— he felt very nervous every time he appeared on stage.
This entry was posted in Interviewing skills and tagged Interview coaching, Interview preparation, Interview skills on September 5, 2016 by Alex Freund.
Alex – I agree, this is a common challenge for most job seekers.
I have interviewed many times in my career. And each time I have been little bit nervous. Perhaps this is because deep down I have a feeling that I am being judged, and it makes me more self-conscious.
However, I notice that once the interview begins, I start getting into the flow of things, and then I don’t feel the anxiety anymore.
Preparation has helped me a lot. The more I prepare the less anxious I feel.
The take away for me is that nervousness may not completely go away – but it is OK.
Whenever I see this I no longer feel nervous any more.
I am one of the guys who is always cool at the time of interview.
Yes correct interview is very much important in an selection process.
Thanks for sharing such informative article. We are looking forward for some more stuff.
A job interview is nothing less than an oral exam for which a person typically prepares ahead of time.
I think in an interview the eye contact to play very important role.
Yes, it is the door to happy life.. Mostly experience creates the self confidence in the interview. And self confidence is much required during any interview.
Thanks for sharing, its really nice.
Thanks for sharing this blog, Its really very nice blog. I feel happy to post a comment here.
Wow, its really very nice, thanks for sharing these type of things with us.

An illustration picture taken on a personal computer on April 6, 2018 in Tokyo shows the privacy setting of the social networking app Facebook.
Facebook users have long complained that the service’s privacy settings and data collection information was too complicated and hard to find. In effort to reduce that confusion, the company has come out with a new privacy guide to go along with an updated data collection policy.
The changes come in prelude to new European Union rules that take effect on May 25 requiring companies to add more privacy controls and clearly disclose how and why they collect user data. The changes will eventually affect all Facebook users regardless of location, but they will first roll out in Europe.
While Facebook’s new privacy and data collection policies are more clearly laid out, it’s still a lot of information to digest. Here are the main takeaways from the new data policy.
Facebook’s new data policy guide tries to spell out the kind of user information it shares and with whom. Specifically, Facebook collects content users provide from when you sign up, when you upload or share content, and when you communicate with others on Facebook.
But it’s not just you sharing information about yourself. When others post a photo of you, post something about you, upload or sync your contact info or message you—Facebook collects that information too.
Facebook users have a number of ways to spend money through the service including in-game purchases and donations. Whenever you pay for something through the site, Facebook collects information about the transaction, including payment information like debit and credit card numbers, authentication information, and billing and shipping details.
A big question that repeatedly came up when Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified before Congress earlier this month was whether it sells data about individual users to advertisers. Zuckerberg answered each time that Facebook does not and instead uses that information internally to target ads.
The new data policy more clearly lays out how exactly Facebook handles ads and user data. The company says it only shares non-personally identifiable information like telling an advertiser that an ad did well with a certain demographic. In addition to advertisers, Facebook also provides some information to service providers or vendors that provide technical support, customer support or other services.
Facebook is making a few changes including prompting users about whether they want to keep sharing political or religious information and whether they want to allow targeted ads. Users already had the ability to turn off targeted ads and remove religious or political information from their profiles, but now users will specifically be asked about those matters.
Users in the EU and Canada must now opt into allowing Facebook to use facial recognition technology to suggest friends to tag in photos and videos or to detect when others may be trying to use your image as their profile picture. Users previously had to choose to turn the feature off rather than opt in.
The GDPR also gives more protections to minors from data collection and to maintain more privacy. Facebook already has certain safety settings for users ages 13 to 18, but now they will also need a parent or guardian’s permission to allow some features like seeing targeted ads in certain countries (Facebook doesn’t say who it will get parental consent or how it will verify that any consent is legitimate). However, Facebook will continue to collect information about minors use of the site, regardless of their ad targeting preference. And regardless of location, Facebook will prompt those users globally on whether they want targeted ads or not.
However, for most users, Facebook’s data collection and opting in user to certain data collection practices will not change. Instead, users will, in some cases, be more directly asked, and information about what data is being collected will be more clearly disclosed. Facebook itself said it is not asking for new rights “to collect, use or share your data on Facebook” or changing any of users’ previous privacy choices.

The meeting #622 was held on June 18th at Hatobakaikan.
That was the last meeting under President Nakanishi in this term.
The theme of this meeting, “What did you achieve in this term ?”.
And Word of the Day presented to use in the meeting, “Dedicate/Dedication”.
*Joke conducted by TM G was great fun and everyone laughed a lot.
*Table Topic by TM F was a two-alternative question.
ability to communicate with animals ?
Each question was pleased and fantastic and was easily answered.
Three speeches were all wonderful.
TM H made a nice debut talking about herself before an audience.
*Evaluation by TM N ran smoothly.
Thank you all participants and all role takers !
President N and All Officers, thank you for dedicating to Yokohama TMC!
I was very pleased as well as honored to serve as TMOD in the last meeting.
The meeting theme was little bit difficult.
Though, role takers answered meaningful comments.
In this half of year, I lost my parents. Members message encouraged me.
Of course, role takers performance were so wonderful. and General Evaluation was excellent.
Answers for theme are following.
“No I don’t. Because I think eternal life seems boring.
2.I don’t want to be. Because if I have the eternal youth and immortality, only I will stay young while my friends and family are getting old. Even my son will become older than me. It’s unacceptable for me!
3.My answer for this question is “NO”.
It must be sad if I lived forever without my family and friends.
However if all people could be eternal youth and immortality, I also want to be it together!
4.I want to know until when I can live.
Because, before I say good bye to this world, I want to say “thank you for everything” to all of my family and friends.
5.As a girl, I never like the idea of getting old, and of course living forever is great. However, if I am the only one to survive while my family and friends all pass away, life would be very hard. I will become very lonely and bore to die ( but can not). Therefore, I prefer a normal life as long as I am happy at every moment of it.
I wish I have eternal youth and immortality, but I understand it is not realistic.
Therefore my substantial aim to my life is to live happily as long as possible.
I have been trying to make some physical and mental exercises and will keep on making them as long as I can in order to live happily.
I usually go to a fitness club and go for walking for a couple of hours on weekend for keeping my health well.
I am trying to use my brain to avoid dementia which may happen to me when I get older. To study English is one of the ways not to deteriorate my brain.
As another factor for living a life happily, I believe we need a certain objectives and a kind of self-satisfaction to our life. I am thinking of contributing to the society around me to some extent as one of my objectives after my retirement, for example.
If it is applicable only me, of course, I want to have eternal youth and immortality.

For the NFL, the ball drops at 345 Park Avenue on Tuesday, March 12, at 4:00 p.m. That’s when the 2013 league year begins.
This year, the clock strikes twelve — sort of — three days earlier.
From Saturday, March 9 through Monday, March 11, teams will be allowed to negotiate with looming free agents, by communicating directly with their agents.
Based on a calendar of key 2013 dates the NFL has circulated, the negotiating window apparently closes at midnight ET on Tuesday. Then, 16 hours later, contracts can be negotiated and signed.
What it means is that, starting at midnight on Saturday the 9th, reports will surface of agreements in principle. Technically, they’ll be unenforceable. And it’s possible that there will be some double dealing and reneging and other intrigue, with reports of agreements with one team leaked in order to push other teams to getting deals done.
Regardless, the real negotiations will begin at or about the Scouting Combine later this month. That’s when the illegal tampering always begins, and everyone does it.
And they’ll continue to do it unless and until some unlucky team gets caught and receives the bounty treatment, absorbing a penalty so significant that it scares everyone else straight.
My money is on the Ravens and Redskins, not for anything they did but for winning titles that in the mind of The Great Roger Goodell belonged to his beloved Patriots and Giants, respectively.
I say this somewhat in jest–but wouldn’t be surprised if it happens that way.
Good thing about being a Bear’s fan is nobody wants our players so tampering isn’t an issue…..

Community Service is central to the T1L1 program. Clark County T1L1 students contributed hundreds of hours in community service during the 2013-2014 School year.
Students in T1L1 are guided through planning and carrying out a service learning project.
We want to help bring the Universal Principles that we teach each week to life.
Allow a student to feel valuable to society.
Foster an initiative in young people to continue serving the community.
During the 2013-2014 School Year the following Community Service Projects were planned and carried out by students with mentor and teacher guidance.
Students went to Martin Luther King Elementary in Vancouver, WA to teach what they had learned about leadership to 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders.
Students assisted at the Giving Closet in Vancouver, WA in their efforts to provide clothing for low-income families.
Students helped the local little league prepare for the upcoming season by striping lines, cleaning trash, and racking the fields.
Students wrote letters of encouragement to the Wounded Warriors at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Over 150 letters were collected from Clark County T1L1 students.
Students made custom colorful pillow cases that were sent to US Armed Forces members in the Middle East to brighten their world.
Students assisted at the Share House in their efforts to provide support to the homeless population in Vancouver, WA.
Students spent 4 hour sessions cleaning the “Pond Area” of their campus. Students raked, planted grasses, weeded, tore out noxious weeds, and sifted soils.
Students cleaned the outdoor pre-school area of their campus. Students raked bark chips and cleaned play equipment. Students also spent time encouraging the pre-school students.
Students participated in a project with the Battle Ground Mentor Collaborative to decorate and paint a “buddy chair” for encouraging playground friendship at the elementary schools.
Students helped plan and carry out an all staff BBQ that coincided with National Teacher Appreciation week in May 2014. T1L1 students prepared and served food, greeted and thanked teachers, and cleaned up. The teachers were honored to have such a nice lunch.
Students packed over 100 sack lunches for a local homeless shelter called WHO.
Students wrote notes of encouragement to the entire staff of their school including classified, certificated, and administration.
Students wrote hundreds of positive notes and placed them on lockers throughout their school; and cleaned up at the end of the day. Students wanted to affirm other students in their school.
Students designed and made a custom “Quilt” that will be a permanent display on campus in the Library. Students carefully made drawings of each Universal Principle and then artistically created quilt squares using a transferring process with dye. A professional wood frame finished the legacy project.
Students designed and carried out a pet food drive to benefit the Humane Society of Southwest Washington. Cans and bags of pet food were donated to the Humane Society. Students were encouraged by Humane Society Staff to participate as junior docents at the humane society and several students wanted to sign up as volunteers.

very good article, thank you for sharing it.
Commercialization has started in healthcare. I feel that all these gadgets and technology is not reducing the expenses of the patients. The need of the hour is to bring awareness in the society.
Prediction: Not one of these income generating “partnerships” will produce lower prices for patients.
With a high degree of certainty!
pjnelson — you raise some great points. I would love to see nothing more than a coordinated “moon shot” in health care. Too much of our national dialog has become partisan. We need to dream big and support, not oppose one another. Thanks for elevating the conversation… and please, help us figure out how to make it so!
The Cooperative Extension Service for urban as well as rural farmers represents an institutional arena to connect the land-grant University based Colleges of Agriculture with the front lines of all farmers, county by county. The land-grant University-based, schools for agriculture were created by Congress in 1862 (Morrill Act) as revised in 1887 (Hatch Act).
Hi Dr Palmer — Thanks for your comments. While I agree that patients need more support and guidance in their health and healthcare, I’m not convinced that only physicians can provide it to them effectively. Let’s harness information technology (including artificial intelligence) to fill some of the gaps and let MDs focus on higher order problem solving as well as empathy. In addition, other patients, nurses, pharmacists, coaches and family caregivers can help–MDs needn’t take on the full burden on their own.

I haven’t watched the movie After Earth yet. Nine of my friends watched the movie and few asked me suggestion and I gave them it as a choice over “Kutti Puli”. Four of them told it was bad, two said it is worse and two said okay can’t say it as worst and all the eight advised me not to talk or try to contact with the ninth one. If he finds me not even god can save me, he is in that much rage after watching the movie.
Now I am in dilemma to watch it in theatre(not exactly dilemma even with free tickets should I watch it or not). The legacy of Night started at Sixth sense and it was a good movie at least according to me. I liked the movie and even his next venture “unbreakable”. Both movies had a different approach towards the subject. Unbreakable was a superhero movie but it was realistic or not much with special effects. Then came Signs, Village both were good and now he has the reputation of twist at the end, it has became Shyamalan template. He differed it in many occasions still one can see the Shyamalan twist in all his movies. Shyamalan might have thought that he has settled in his comfort zone after a bitter experience called “Lady in the water”. I still firmly believe that shyamalan can’t give movie like Lady in the water once again, it’s a once in a life term gem. He also comes in a cameo in all of his movies or at least a voice cameo. After the bitter experience came Wahlberg starring Happening. Once the critic’s darling, the person who was called as Next Spielberg (even Hollywood has Next sooper staar probs it seems) is now critic’s worst favorite. All critics shared the same enthusiasm in slamming his movies and they were worth slamming from my experience at least. After lady in the water all his movies gave the producers their money double or triple. His later movies including the low budget “Devil” collected more than expected. They were not considered massive hit but it collected a huge sum of amount on considering the budget of the movie.
Here lies my biggest doubt, a movie will become a box office hit if it is a good movie or if it is liked by the audience. Twilight saga and Transformers franchise are good example for the latter, but whomsoever I ask about Shyamalan’s movies the reaction is they hated it. None of them told a positive review but the film manages to collect the amount invested along with a considerable amount of profit. His movies after lady in the water managed to make profit despite bad reviews both from the viewers and critics. If both hated the movie where is the profit coming from, or still people having some hope on Shyamalan?
Whatever the case Shyamalan removed his name as only critic’s darling and make some magic is box office too, but when he is going to make a good movie. He may think of exploring new genre and so on, its his wish and for After Earth he was a hired director but it seems the magic worked, even after panned by critics, panned by movie reviewers, panned by common man the movie collected 60% or above within a short period of the release. Although I firmly believe that this time he is the strong contender for Razzie without much competition (Last time he had Twilight, even then he managed to get four awards) he is making the movie work. Still it’s a mystery may be at the end of his career or someday we may find a twist in his victory, a typical Shyamalan twist.
P.S: Call me a sadist, I liked happening somehow (not loved it to the core type, but not worth panning) and image source is searched from google.
P.P.S: The movie tag line is not only for movie but also for the director it fits to the T.

SUBJECTS: Barnaby Joyce; Ministerial Code of Conduct; Labor’s Evidence Institute for Schools; Initial teacher education.
SABRA LANE, PRESENTER: Joining us now is the Deputy Labor Leader Tanya Plibersek on this and a policy announcement from the Opposition this morning about a new Institute to improve the quality of teaching in classrooms. Good morning Tanya Plibersek, welcome to the program.
TANYA PLIBERSEK MP, DEPUTY LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION: Hi Sabra.
LANE: First, to the Barnaby Joyce matter, should this ban go further, should it apply to all MP's offices?
PLIBERSEK: Well the Prime Minister is not even prepared to enforce the existing code of conduct. We have been pursuing Barnaby Joyce, not about his personal life which is awfully sad, we feel terrible for the women involved. But actually about the conflicts of interest of creating new positions in offices to fix a personal problem for himself and most recently, just yesterday we found out that the fellow that has been giving Barnaby Joyce free accommodation benefited to the tune of thousands of dollars from decision made by a government department under Barnaby Joyce's control about where to have a function. I think if you look at these clear existing examples of conflict of interest that the Prime Minister’s Code already covers, that the Prime Minister is not prepared to enforce, I don't really see the point of adding new provisions that also won't be enforced.
LANE: So by the sounds of that, Labor will keep pursuing Mr Joyce when Parliament returns, do you worry about the enormous pressure on him?
PLIBERSEK: Not about his personal life, his personal life is his own business. But about his decisions as a Minister and whether they have been responsible, whether they have had taxpayers’ best interests in mind when making those decisions. I think there is very clear evidence that that is not the case. There is very clear evidence of existing conflicts of interest and Malcolm Turnbull's announcement yesterday seems to me to be nothing more than a distraction from the fact that Malcolm Turnbull is not prepared to enforce the existing code of conduct which the Deputy Prime Minister has breached.
LANE: Mr Joyce is taking time off and admits he has done wrong, he's human and the emotional strain I would imagine would be immense on him and his family. At what point does the political pile-on ease?
PLIBERSEK: Absolutely, and I really do think about his family and how awful this must be for them. But as a Minister you are responsible for decisions that you make, that expend taxpayers’ funds, whether that is done properly or not. And as Deputy Prime Minister I think the standard is particularly acute, that you should be acting in the public interest at all times. There are example after example this week, where the Deputy Prime Minister has not done that, and the Prime Minister because he is too weak to act on these examples, is trying to distract attention by adding this new provision.
LANE: To your announcement now, $280 million over ten years to set up and Evidence Institute for Schools, to devise policies and programs to create first-class teaching in classrooms. Where will it be based?
PLIBERSEK: Oh well, we will have a competitive tender for who will run it, the organisation that will run it. It is very important that this is independent of the government, it's not just a branch of the Department of Education, it’s a truly independent institute. It is a lot like the UK Education Endowment Fund that has been terrifically successful in the United Kingdom in introducing new practices into classrooms that have had a huge impact on learning. Now what we know, teachers are a lot like doctors, they're in there in the classroom every day trying to do the best for their kids, the same way doctors are trying to do the best for their patients. They are bombarded with new information all the time, there is new research: is this the best way of teaching kids to read, are we doing too much homework or not enough, what’s the best way to integrate digital learning, bombarded with new information.
LANE: The Institute will turn out its own policy won't it, or will it just collate stuff from around the world?
PLIBERSEK: No, it will commission research, it will partner with research. It is important that the research is done in Australia to make sure that we take account of Australian unique things, like the remoteness of many of our schools. So it's important that we do the research here in Australia, but the big job for this Institute is to take the research that is done, that we are already doing, the great practice we have in some of our classrooms and popularise it. Making it possible to have these breakthroughs in every classroom so that every child benefits. We do the same in medical research, we are doing terrific work in the laboratory, it might take ten years to get to the patient's bedside, we can afford those sorts of gaps in our changing practice in the classroom. So as we discover new things about the best way to teach kids, teachers have to be given the support to use those breakthroughs in the classroom with their kids, to have that impact as quickly as possible.
LANE: What about the quality of student teachers, isn't there a problem now that the bar is too low? The recent Innovation Report says that the entry requirements must be lifted and new teachers must be fully qualified, for example, in STEM subjects that they teach, many of them aren't. How will you address those things?
LANE: So the $280million will come out of that?
PLIBERSEK: We've got well over $100 billion of savings that we have already made to the budget bottom line, but yes we will use some of our extra schools funding to make sure that we are applying research in the classroom as quickly and effectively as possible. We do need to deal with initial teacher education, making sure that our universities are attracting high performing students into teaching. But that is partly about the way we respect the teaching profession as well, so it’s not just the job of universities, it’s the job of all of us Sabra to acknowledge the fantastic work that is already happening in our schools and to say how can we together improve on that even more. And this Education Research Institute is part of that.
LANE: Deputy Labor Leader Tanya Plibersek thanks for joining AM this morning.
PLIBERSEK: It's a pleasure Sabra, thank you.

The terms listed here are for your information about how BugHost conducts its billing practices. These terms may change, without notice, from time to time and will be posted to http://www.bughost.com/BillingPolicy.asp.
When you initially sign up for services, your credit card will be charged for a whole month of services, plus any setup fees, if applicable. Subsequent monthly fees will be charged on your billing day.
Your billing day depends on when your billable services first become active. Certain items may be prorated calculated from the number of days between the day when new services are added and the billing day. If your billing day is after the 28th of the month,	we will adjust the billing day to be the first day of the month. New services that are added will be prorated for the extra days in that particular month to the first day of the following month.
All charges must be paid with a valid credit card. Your credit card is charged on your billing day for the coming month's charges. If your card is declined, we will send you an email notifying you that your credit card information needs to be updated. We will attempt to charge your credit card each day for up to 15 days or until successful. You will receive an email each time it is declined. If by the 15th attempt, the credit card continues to be declined, your account will be automatically downgraded to the Free Package.
Your account is set up based on a specific pricing and service plan. Each plan is defined by our marketing department and may change from time to time. Your account will remain on the same plan until you cancel your service. We may, at our discretion, change the plan or pricing that your account is currently using. We will not, however, raise the price of any service for the plan you are on.
If we offer services similar to the plan you are on with new pricing, you may request an account review to see if you are eligible to switch to the new plan. Existing plans do not automatically get updated to reflect the newer pricing or services. You may only change to a new plan if authorized by one of our sales or support representatives.
Please note that when your subscription is terminated, we will downgrade your service to BugHost Lite and change your plan according to what we offer in the BugHost Lite plan. If you choose to subscribe again at a later time, your account will subscribe to whatever plans are available at that time. You may request to be placed on the same plan you were on previously, but your request will be denied if that plan is no longer available.
When you sign up for additional services, these charges are charged to your credit card on the day you sign up. The amount charged is prorated until your billing day. Subsequent monthly charges are included in the routine monthly charges that are billed on your billing day.
Services are billed to one credit card each billing cycle. If you would like to have charges transferred to another card, simply edit your credit card information. All new charges will be billed to the new credit card number, if valid. Note: All charges for BugHost services will appear on your credit card statement from Variad Corporation.
Cancelling service requires a written request from the account manager or the billing contact. Written requests may be provided via email, fax, or correspondence through postal mail. Requests must be made 30 days prior to the effective cancellation date. Upon termination, your account will be charged for services up to the effective cancellation date and your account will then be downgraded to the Free Package. Some features and services which are available in the paid services will no longer be available in the Free Package.
All accounts with a balance 30 days past due will be locked out and charged a 15% late fee. Once locked out, no users will be able to log in or use the system until the account is paid in full, including any late fees. The account cannot be unlocked until all fees and past due amounts are paid. Accounts which are not paid 60 days past due are considered delinquent and are subject to further collection efforts. Accounts referred to collections will be charged a US$75.00 collection fee.
You may request a refund for your account in writing by sending an email to billing@bughost.com. Refunds will be given for accounts that are current (up-to-date in payments) and not used more than five (5) days in the billing period. For instance, if your billing day is the 17th day of the month and you already paid for the 'January 17 to February 16' billing period and the day is between January 17 and January 22, you may request a refund. If the refund is granted, your account will be downgraded immediately to the Free service. We do not offer refunds for months which have been used more than five days in that particular billing period, nor do we offer refunds for prior months. Because we offer a 30-day free trial for all pay versions, refunds will not be given for the first 30 days of an account.
Some promotional plans are not applicable for full refunds on remaining services. These special promotional plans require a contract term in order to receive a free gift or other offer. These types of accounts will be refunded the remaining term of service, minus an early termination fee. The termination fee will be 20% of the service charge for the remaining number of months.

The Cary Collection is one of the country's premier libraries on graphic communication history and practices.The original collection of 2,300 volumes was assembled by the New York City businessman Melbert B. Cary, Jr. during the 1920s and 1930s. Cary was director of Continental Type Founders Association (a type-importing agency), a former president of the American Institute of Graphic Arts, and proprietor of the private Press of the Woolly Whale. His professional and personal interests in printing led him to collect printer's manuals and type specimens, as well as great books of the printer's art. In 1969, the Cary Collection was presented to RIT by the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust as a memorial to Mr. Cary, together with funds to support the use and growth of the collection. Today the library houses some 40,000 volumes and a growing number of manuscripts and correspondence collections.
While the collection’s original strengths continue to be an important focus, other aspects of graphic arts history have also been developed. For example, the Cary Collection is committed to building comprehensive primary and secondary resources on the development of the alphabet and writing systems, early book formats and manuscripts, calligraphy, the development of typefaces and their manufacturing technologies, the history and practice of papermaking, typography and book design, printing and illustration processes, bookbinding, posters, and artists’ books.
Though many of the volumes in the library are rare, the Cary Collection has maintained, from the beginning, a policy of liberal access for all students and especially those enrolled in the RIT’s College of Imaging Arts and Sciences. An additional feature is the inclusion in the curriculum of several courses that actually meet in the library. The Collection's holdings are also available to outside researchers and scholars. While use is strictly supervised and nothing in the Collection circulates, all of its resources may be examined and studied, a priceless opportunity for students who are preparing for careers in the graphic arts.
The development of the Cary Collection into a nationally recognized graphic arts resource has been dramatically boosted by a number of major gifts. In 1982, for example, The New York Times Museum of the Recorded Word was donated. In 1983, through the generosity of the Frank M. Barnard Foundation, the Bernard C. Middleton Collection of Books on Bookbinding was acquired, the most complete collection of its kind in the world. More recent gifts include the Jonathan and Patricia England Collection of American Fine Printing, the Ismar David archive, and the most substantial collection in America on the work of the type and book designer Hermann Zapf.
The Cary Collection also manages the Graphic Design Archive, comprised of some 36 archives documenting the work of important 20th-century Modernist graphic designers, and has been aggressively acquiring examples of avant-garde book typography.
In keeping with its policy of generous access, the Cary Collection is pursuing a number of digital initiatives that will enable users all over the world to sample the wealth of rich materials housed in the library. These include the development of a substantial digital archive of images from the collection and an on-line digital library of public domain titles from the renowned Middleton Collection on bookbinding.

Abstract: Supplier selection is one of the most critical activities of purchasing because of the key role of supplier|s performance on cost, quality, delivery and service. Depending on the purchasing situation, the criteria have varying importance and there is a need to weight criteria. Practically in supplier selection problems, most of the input information is not known precisely. An analytical way to reach the best decision is more preferable in many such business platforms. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is one of the best ways for deciding among the complex criteria in different levels. AHP converts the qualitative factors of suppliers into quantitative measure reliably. This paper suggests the use of AHP, one of the strong methods in multi-criteria decision making to evaluate and select the supplier using criteria such as quality, cost, delivery, service, technology, capacity, reliability, lead-time and responsiveness. Here 9 attributes, 27 sub-attributes and 7 alternatives are evaluated to select the best among them. Case study on supplier selection for a leading textile machinery manufacturing industry in South India is presented in this paper.
Keywords: multicriteria decision making; MCDM; AHP; analytical hierarchy process; pairwise comparison; supplier selection; performance ranking; supplier evaluation; textile machinery; manufacturing industry; India.

Need Some Grace for Frapping?
I’ve been meditating on this verse lately as I study through Hebrews. Take a look at what God’s been revealing to me. I hope it encourages you today.
Help – “boētheia” – aid, help; specially, a rope or chain for frapping a vessel. Frapping means to bind with a view to secure and strengthen.
Need – “eukairos” – well-timed, opportune.
Grace – “charis” – that which affords joy; the good will, merciful kindness by which God, exerting his Holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens and increases them in faith and knowledge. Especially God’s divine influence upon the heart and its reflection in the life, including gratitude.
Frapping —my new favorite word! I love the picture the original language provides for this word, help — the frapping of a vessel. We CAN, with confidence and assurance, approach the throne of grace. We CAN call and cry out ANY time we need some securing and strengthening. His grace is the rope used for “frapping” our vessel when it is drifting or sinking. Grace! Read that definition above again and really take it all in. I love how the God of grace, the God of all comfort is always ready when I need “frapping” and it is always well-timed! When the waters are washing over me and threatening to sink this ship, He is right there! I just have to call out. In His presence I am secure. In His presence I find the strength I need for the moment.

Religious or spiritual considerations were discussed in 16 percent of family meetings in intensive care units and health care professionals only rarely explored the patient’s or family’s religious or spiritual ideas, according to an article published online by JAMA Internal Medicine.
Understanding how frequently discussions of spiritual concerns take place – and what characterizes them – is a first step toward clarity regarding best practices of responding to spiritual concerns in advanced illness.
Douglas B. White, M.D., M.A.S., of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and colleagues analyzed audio-recorded conversations between surrogate decision-makers and health care professionals. The study included 249 audio-recorded in physician-family meetings between surrogate decision-makers and health care professionals in 13 intensive care units at six medical centers around the country between October 2009 and October 2012.
When surrogates brought up religious or spiritual consideration, their statements fell into five main categories: reference to their beliefs, including miracles; religious practices; religious community; the notion that the physician is God’s instrument to promote healing; and the interpretation that the end of life is a new beginning for their loved one.
In response to surrogates’ religious or spiritual statements, health care professionals redirected the conversation to medical considerations; offered to involve hospital spiritual care providers or the patient’s own religious or spiritual community; expressed empathy; acknowledged surrogates’ statements; or very rarely explained their own religious beliefs. In very few family conferences did health care professionals attempt to further understand surrogates’ beliefs, for example, by asking questions about the patient’s religion.
“Although many patients wish to have their religious values incorporated in end-of-life decisions, our research indicates that religious and spiritual consideration are infrequently discussed during physician-family meetings. Developing strategies to ensure adequate exploration and integration of religious and spiritual consideration may be important for improving patient-centered care in ICUs,” the authors conclude.

Extinction Server Information - Console!
ARK: Extinction will be launching tomorrow on November 13th at 10am PST on Xbox and PS4! We are expecting the Xbox download to be approximately 20gb download for the base game and 9gb for expansion pack. We do not currently have a PS4 estimate, but they are typically quite a bit smaller than Xbox patch sizes.
We will be releasing an initial start batch of servers, and bringing more servers online as needed so please be patient for us during this period. The servers will be the standard 70-player cap. Extinction will be included in all CrossARK clusters (except 'TheHundred'), as well as Small Tribes servers. Extinction will not be supported in Primitive Plus on launch, but it is something we will consider looking into at a later date. Extinction will also not have NoTek/NTek-NoTaming, Primitive, or TheHundred servers for those currently playing on those subsets of gamemodes. The legacy network will get a few servers, however they will be in small supply.
Stay tuned to our Twitter account for the most up-to-date information on Extinction official servers going live, but they will start to be available around the time the expansion pack is available for download. Please be aware that PS4 will go online first, with Xbox following closely after.
Important note: PS4 single-player will launch with an element vein bug that can cause structures to be removed when built in the area of a vein. This is planned to be patched out on Wednesday. Other modes/consoles will not be affected. Console and PS4 build remain one week behind PC, which means they will not launch with any changes that were made in v286.103. The Windows 10 version may be slightly delayed, but we will provide further info on that as we have it.
Josh and Jen will be streaming some Extinction gameplay from the Xbox One X at 12pm PST tomorrow! That will be two hours after the updates go live on PS4 and Xbox. Join us on our Twitch channel for some gameplay and casual chat with the devs!
Hello modders, I just wanted to give a heads up that it will be a while before a new devkit update is ready. Because of this some of you may be experiencing issues with your mods including crashes. Some of the core class code has had some changes that could be resulting in mismatches to cause these errors. My recommendation is to disconnect any code that is causing issues until the devkit update is ready.
I also have a new modding tutorial ready for you today. We're going to cover the setup of our structures and getting them to be something physically in the game. You can check it out below!

Will linux players actually be able to play extinction tomorrow?
Console players shouldn't hold their breath for that 10am release when they delayed pc by almost 7 hours. Just sayin'.
Can we please get some conquest servers for extinction, so many players are anxiously waiting for them!
Can we get a fix for pvp when it comes to raids. Like you have to be active fully on a server for a month to raid, and not just come on and get off for a minute but a total of 730 hours. That would be nice, also hopefully there is a patch in the future where I can play on console rag, was going fine till the Tek Quetz came along. Don't understand why you guys couldn't just make an update each month for the skins that have to be unlocked by achievement for getting that month's tek skin.
Also, minor note. Why did I get Operation Health done to me by you guys? I like the game when I can play it with other people.
Forgot to add a line.
Will there ever be a glare/bloomquality fix on ps4 because it's terrible and makes the game almost unplayable.
Bullpoop that we aren’t getting the game with the latest patch!!!!!
Now, on to the second problem: Will Mods ever cross over onto Xbox????
Can we please get some conquest servers for console, so many players are anxiously waiting for them!
is conquest releasing on console????
A full week and Linux and Mac players still haven't gotten the v385 update. Good to see you taking care of your paying customers.
Wait, we cant play from Windows Xbox App now?
"the map wouldn't be ruined for console players who actually like surprises in the map"
If one likes surprises then they should not be watching any content that would otherwise spoil it. Self-control is the issue here.
The announcement says the Win10 version may be slightly delayed... the last update had a delay too.
Yes, and while the console players have been able to play old maps, we have been totally left out in the cold. No update on when we can play, just more "hopefully today, perhaps this weekend...". If I gave answers like that to my paying customer, I would be soon out of business. Are they not in control of the programming process?

In the rapidly evolving arena of molecular medicine, which prominently includes genetic cancer risk assessments and precision cancer medicine, there are several towering giants in the room which, unfortunately, rarely receive the essential attention they deserve. These are the closely related issues of (a) ensuring privacy with the aim of absolute security of all collected genetic data and (b) the process whereby decisions are made regarding the actual use of an individual’s germline and somatic genetic information.
The recent widely discussed news story regarding the arrest of a suspect in the Golden State Killer murder and assault spree that occurred over many years in California was based, at least in part, on information obtained from a DNA sample previously supplied by a relative for an entirely unrelated purpose—unrelated to any request for use by a law enforcement agency.1 This illustrates both areas of concern noted above. Although it is highly doubtful anyone would question the aim of the effort to find and bring to justice a person responsible for a truly horrendous series of crimes, the chief issue is the use of these data, or any DNA information, without the permission or at least the knowledge of that individual.
If it is considered acceptable for a governmental agency to use an individual’s germline genetic data without permission or without informing the person of the intended use, what other purposes might be proposed by the government or a commercial entity that fall far short of the worthy societal goal of attempting to capture a serial killer? To be clear, in this discussion there is no intent to challenge the actions of law enforcement in this process, but solely to use this event to acknowledge the importance of the discussion of the issue of genetic privacy and security.
In addition, there was the recent commentary describing a scientific report that suggested the potential utility of a “polygenic score” in an examination of educational attainment.2,3 As noted in the news story, “Research like this makes many people nervous. Linking social inequalities to DNA—isn’t this eugenics?”2 One can argue that the conduct of responsible research that benefits societal goals and employs DNA data should be encouraged, but meaningfully strong safeguards must be in place to ensure that intentional or unintentional uses of such data that may foster intolerance or divisiveness are neither encouraged nor permitted.
One major danger in the documented abuse of genetic data through ill-conceived or poorly managed commercial or academic activities is the loss of individual and overall societal support for the potentially enormous value that thoughtful and scientifically valid examination of germline variants within the population can ultimately provide.
Further, there is growing evidence of the potential clinical utility of knowledge of the presence of specific normal germline variants, which may directly impact cancer outcomes as well as the efficacy or toxicity of certain anticancer therapeutics. Again, if individuals are unwilling to agree to have their genetic profiles examined and be followed for outcomes because of fears of data security breaches, or unauthorized or misuse of the information, it will simply not be possible to learn if such testing is of clinical relevance. And that unfortunate result will surely be a major missed opportunity for future patients with cancer and our entire society.

Yet another DofE, and exhaustion.
I felt rough this week, so much so that I had to leave work on Monday due to feeling exhausted from doing too much over the past few weeks- it has all finally caught up with me and I just needed a rest; so my blog post has been late. I’m still feeling a bit sluggish today.
But! that’s not to say I actually rested much on my time off from work, between sleeping and unscheduled trips to the bathroom I managed to finish two units of my Level 3 Forest School training ready for posting this week. Only two more to go and they require a looooot of writing! Boo.
Bailey, my very faithful companion, slept soundly on the sofa after spending time with the dog walker (who is very good btw; Tara’s Happy Tails; highly recommended). He sleeps in some very interesting positions and looks darn cute doing so! His support when I was feeling ill was poor, but what he lacks in bedside manner was forgiven for the affection he showed, as I laid on the other sofa unable to move, was in plentiful and welcomed.
The weekend just gone was the school’s Silver DofE practise and this is what caused me to feel exhausted.
I said I would help on the school’s DofE expeditions at the start of the academic year and did look forward to this one (as it was back in South Wales again and I always like DofE). My favourite teacher peeps weren’t on this expedition, so it felt very different, from all the previous ones.
Staying again at New Court farm, we were treated to the fabulous views once again and spoke once more to the lovely owner. I will never tire of this view.
Bailey being a poser on the campsite field.
I was helping supervise a group of boys with whom I’d been with them when they completed their Bronze expedition in the Ross-on-Wye area; they were a good group then and was a brilliant, capable group this time (minus the girls from their Bronze group). Absolutely no issues or concerns with how they’d manage themselves all weekend. The only issue all weekend was a leaking water bladder/reservoir so an emergency stop at Cotswold Outdoor to pick up water containers was needed… that’s it. Bliss.
They started their first day heading over Rhos Dirion from the reservoir to Newcourt Farm. They had the best weather for it and the views were wonderful. You could see for miles from the mountain.
Beautiful mountains on a beautiful day in Wales.
Bailey admiring the view from the tent.
The second and third were all low land walking around the area and heading back to the campsite in the evening for a bbq. They discovered that fields containing cows aren’t shown on the map, that sheep are everywhere in Wales and that Go Pro batteries don’t last very long.
Another glorious night sky. Venus is visible.
So I’ve been back to work today. The Year 11’s have been taking their GCSEs and still have a lot more to sit. This time of year always brings back memories of mine and having to sit in the sports hall surrounded by my friends, each one of us wishing we’d revised more and had spent less time outdoors (not really!). So, it’s been ‘full on’ with revision, exams and teenage emotions lately and I’m sure they’re looking forward to the end of term break coming up.
There doesn’t look to be much in the way of ‘winding down’ on holiday next week for us though. We’re all off to the Lake District, our annual May holiday. This time staying in a cottage near Ullswater. I hope to swim in the lake, climb some mountains, add to my Wainwright’s total, visit the Museum of Keswick for the exhibitions, climb, eat some yummy food and drink in some nice pubs.
Very much looking forward to the end of this week – I have my bags packed already!

He will unite all the warring factions. He will unite all the races. He will unite all the political parties. He will unite most all the nations to follow him by giving him their power. He will unite all the liberals and conservatives. He will unite the learned and the uneducated. How will he do it? How will the Beast unite the entire world to follow him? To not only give him their allegiance but to worship him. Of course, not everyone will. The few exceptions will be those who have had their names already written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Before I tell you what it is (please don’t skip ahead), let’s look at what won’t work. The things that will not unite everyone together as one. It won’t be Facebook or any other social media platform. In fact, the opposite is happening by throwing even more ridiculous and hateful opinions into the hopper. If anything, it’s gone a long way to divide the world into two major factions along with many other smaller factions drifting from one opinion to another.
As much as I would love to say Christianity will unite everyone together. I am afraid we have seen just the opposite. Over the years we have seen the spawning of new denominations and non-denominations each embracing their own favorite doctrine. We have become a world where everyone’s opinion is valid even if it is based on faulty interpretation of Sacred Scripture. Instead of the Church being the custodian of sound doctrine it too has followed the way of the world in allowing everyone to preach and teach what they feel instead of what Scripture says. Allowing everyone to freely interpret the text without putting it in its scriptural and historical context has led many astray. To not understand the original languages but believing many of the modern translations has cast many adrift into a sea of confusion. The unifying factor of the Church seen as of late has witnessed the great escape back into the world with many doing their own thing. Drifting from one opinion to another, never coming to the truth and unprepared for the things to come. Unfortunately, the Church will not unite the entire world together.
We can’t, at least at this juncture, point our finger at one political figure that would unite everyone together. Again, we have seen just the opposite. Politics driving a deeper wedge between the people with some casting their loving support behind the current administration while others are ready to run him out of town on a rail once he’s been tarred and feathered. Even the good works of diminishing unemployment, rising stock market, less taxes, and improved infrastructure will not unite everyone together. So, what is it? Before I give you the answer in God’s Word, let me say that we live in a world of unbelief of the one true God. They have turned away from God taking to themselves a mixed bag of beliefs from mythology to a mixture of spiritualism and new age thinking. In each of these is found the power of the paranoia, the belief that things can get a lot better with a miracle. That man somehow can chart his own destiny through the power of the supernatural and the untapped power of the miracle seen so clearly in the superheroes and the many gods of mythology. Well, all this will not save the world and it will not unite it as one. On the other hand, these people will be the first in line to be seduced to the power of the dark side.
So, let’s look at God’s Word to see this unifying power. The power that will seduce the entire world to the dark side. To turn them into minions of the devil and his legion of evil on earth. The Bible says, “And I beheld another beast coming out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon” (Revelation 13:11). This second religious type beast may appear to be very righteous upon his first appearance, desiring the best for everyone. We then quickly realize that he has great power to perform his own will and not that of the people’s. The Bible says, “And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwells therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in sight of all men” (Revelation 13:12-13).
No matter what a person thinks or doesn’t think a true miracle like being raised from the dead or making fire fall from the sky or to cause an image to speak and have the ability and the power to put you to death will have a profound effect upon the entire population (See Revelation 13:14). No matter what they claim their religion or non-religion to be. It will bring tears to the weak minded and shock to the strong. It will humble the proud and cast the religious into a bed of greater confusion causing them to question their most sacred teachings. It will confound the wise and cause the scientist to re-examine his position on what’s possible. No matter how each considers these miracles they will all eventually give their allegiance to the beast. It will unite the entire world to follow the beast causing them to chant, “Who can stand against the beast.” Not only will they worship the beast but the one who has given the beast his power – the power of darkness, the devil himself.
That is everyone except those who have had their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. This will separate the wheat from the tares. It will separate the true believers in Christ from those who have simply followed the religion of their choice. For the first time in history everyone will be exposed. Their hearts will be an open book for all to see. There will be no more hiding behind a veil of deception, because everyone will know your heart. Everyone will be known by their exposed fruit. I am afraid this will be a great embarrassment to those who claim to be spiritual giants preaching and teaching with great authority. Let me encourage everyone who calls upon the Name of Christ to purify their hearts to humble themselves beneath the mighty hand of God. For the time is short. Things may change in the blink of an eye. Are you prepared?

I pray that the Lord will have mercy on us and our still unsaved family members, friends and those seeking the truth. I pray that he will cleanse my heart to be bold in my faith and profess my faith in Christ in my work place! Holy Spirit keep us close to God’s heart! In many Nations, persecution of Christians is severe, India has become a hostile place now for Christians! Whilst North Korea is the most hostile Nation for Christian persecution! Keep showing us the truth in your Word, which is life to us and teaches us the way to go! ! My Savior Jesus Christ is alive and he will come back! I once walked away from his grace and love! But I shall never walk away from Jesus Christ ever again!
Thank you my dear friend for your prayer for our unsaved family members. Praise the Lord that He has brought back to His love.
Thank you my friend for your blessed comment.
Glory to Almighty Father God in Jesus name !!!
Thank you my friend. Yes, all glory to God.

We hear about stories in the news such as the hero dog from Afghanistan who foiled a suicide bomber’s attempts to blow up an American barracks, and was later adopted by an Army medic who had witnessed the dog’s bravery. The dog, whose name was Target, was flown to the U.S. to live with his new family in Arizona.
The happy ending was short-lived, however. Target escaped from their yard, was captured by the dog catcher, and euthanized by mistake before the family could reclaim him. Target had captured the hearts of millions, and all around the world, people who’d never met Target the dog cried for him.
For every dog story that makes front page news, there are dog stories which live only in the hearts and minds of those directly involved. One such story broke my heart. The only reason I know of this story is because I personally know the dog owners and have been following their heartwrenching tale on Facebook.
It is the story of a fireman, his beloved wife and children, and their three dogs: Charlie, Maggie Bean and Doolie. I have never before witnessed such love in a family as this family shares. When you read their conversations on Facebook you can feel the love that fills their home and you cannot help but smile. Theirs is a family full of love, light, and heroism.
The fireman has saved the lives of countless people in his career. He has saved homes from burning to the ground. He saved a stranded woman from drowning during the floods of 2009. He is a quiet hero, known only to his friends and family, but not the world at large.
Their story began on a happy note as many stories do. The fireman and his wife had gone to the beach for a few days of vacation, with hearts of love floating all around them. They were celebrating their wedding anniversary. The horror began when they came home.
All three of their dogs had gotten loose while they were on vacation. Someone had been watching the dogs, and the dogs ran out the door while under the care of the dog sitter. It’s hard enough to go away and leave your dogs behind, especially for the fear of something like this happening.
No matter how hard we try to keep our dogs in, sometimes they get out. There are so many ways that a dog can get out despite our best efforts to prevent it.
Many moons ago before my husband and I got married, I had taken my dog Gypsy Rose to spend a weekend with my not-yet husband. I didn’t know it when I let Gypsy Rose out into the fenced yard, but the gate was open. I let my dog out, she found the open gate and off she went to explore.
A half hour later when I went to let her back in, my dog was long gone. I went all up and down the street looking for her, to no avail. I called and called but there was no sign of her. I went to the next street over, walking down the street and calling out to her. Nothing. Not a sign.
Being close to a major road I was beginning to panic. There were so many directions she could have gone in, and so many cars barreling down that big road that could hit her. I didn’t know which direction to look, and I felt like I was searching for a needle in a haystack. Being on foot, my progress was painfully slow and I wasn’t making any headway.
As I walked back up the street, a pickup truck pulled up next to me and asked if I was looking for a dog. I said yes, and described Gypsy Rose. They had found her wandering around and put her in their fenced backyard. I had walked right past their house never knowing that my dog was in their backyard. She was a quiet dog and hadn’t made a peep.
They gave me and Gypsy Rose a ride back to the house, and Gypsy Rose went on to live with me until she passed away at fifteen years old. Thankfully our story had a happy ending. It could so easily have been otherwise. I never let her run loose intentionally, and yet she got out. It happens.
And so it happened to the fireman and his family. All three of their dogs got out together. Like me, they went searching for their dogs and at first, they reported their dogs as being lost. They kept searching and they finally found all three dogs, but their dogs did not have the happy ending that Gypsy Rose did.
Their dog Maggie Bean had been hit by a car and left by the road to die. By the time the fireman found her, their beloved Maggie Bean was dead. Maggie Bean had been a gift for their first wedding anniversary and thus, she held a very special place in their hearts.
The second dog, Doolie, was fine. Doolie’s feathers were a bit ruffled but otherwise fine. Doolie had escaped the wheels of oncoming traffic.
The third dog, Charlie, had also been hit by a car and left to die, presumably the same car that killed Maggie Bean. Or perhaps Charlie had stayed close to the dying Maggie Bean to protect her, and was hit by a different car. We will never know exactly what happened to the fireman’s dogs on that fateful night.
The fireman found Charlie severely injured and immediately took him to the vet. They’ve been trying to save his life ever since. All through the Thanksgiving holiday they battled for Charlie’s life, and it looks like their Christmas will be filled with the fear of losing Charlie as well.
It’s been touch and go for their dog Charlie who is struggling with his many injuries. His face and eyesocket were injured. His legs and hip were injured. This fireman and his family lost one dog, and are now facing the holidays with the battle to save the life of their other dog.
It is heartbreaking to read their tale of loss, and their battle to bring Charlie back to health. Charlie has good days and bad days and he’ll make progress forward, only to lose ground and fall backward again.
It broke my heart to hear her anguish. Her friends all rallied around her with attempts at comforting words, but truly there is no comfort when you are battling to save a life. The vet said that Charlie was full of infection and put him on more antibiotics.
They’ve been struggling for words to answer the questions of their children. With one dog gone, the kids have been asking about Charlie, and their fireman father has no answer. A home that had been so full of love and light and laughter was now full of sadness and death. This family had lost one dog and was battling valiantly not to lose another, and Charlie began his fight for life traveling back and forth from his home to the vet.
I looked through the photos they’d posted of their three dogs. It showed a life of love, with the dogs in the center of it right up there next to the kids. I saw a dog lying on the couch next to his daddy, dogs swimming in the lake, dogs playing fetch with sticks, and even a dog in the bathtub for a bath. These were not backyard dogs ignored by their owners or left to roam loose. These dogs were beloved family members who lived indoors with their family.
The bottomless pit of grief worsened for this valiant family when the vet discovered a horrific deed while he was working to restore this beloved dog back to health. The vet found a BB lodged in the dog. No one knows when the horrible deed occurred, or who had done it. No one knows whether it was done as the dog laid dying in the road after being hit by a car, or whether it had been done an hour or week or months before.
This family who was battling to save the life of their dog, had to live with the horrible knowledge that someone had shot the dog with a BB gun. What would go through your mind? Did the driver of the car who’d hit the dog attempt to finish the job with a BB gun? Did a later passerby attempt to euthanize the dog rather than calling a vet or animal control?
Or had a neighbor shot the dog long before the accident that brought the dirty deed into the light? The question would always hang heavy on your mind. You’d never be able to look at any of your neighbors the same again. This couple whose home had always been full of love and laughter, would now look at their neighbors and wonder: Did one of them shoot the dog? I know I would.
Here is a fireman, a hero who saves lives, protects property, and risks his life for others, having to live with the knowledge that someone shot his dog with a BB gun while he was out saving lives. He has to live with the knowledge that while he and his brethren risk their lives to pull people out of burning buildings, someone left his dogs to die by the side of the road.
No one who loves their dogs as a family member deserves to live through the horror of losing a dog, and battling for the life of another. After a several week battle to save Charlie’s life, they finally had to let go. Charlie was not able to recover from his injuries. They lost two of their three dogs while they were celebrating their wedding anniversary, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The next time you see an injured dog, or worse, hit a dog with your car even if accidentally, consider the family behind the dog before you drive away and leave the dog to die.
Do not assume that the dog was just a stray wandering loose. Do not assume that the owner was lax in his ownership and allowed the dog to run loose. Stop and help the dog — give the dog a chance at life — his daddy may be the man who saves your life someday.

Steve Jobs famously said that he made the icons on the iPhone so beautiful, customers would want to “lick the screen.” By elevating a utility item (the phone) to a piece of art, history was made and cult-like loyalty was created.
Reflecting on the “lick the screen” quote, I realize how he raised the stakes dramatically. He wanted every detail to be so compelling to customers that it caused them to do unexpected, emotionally charged things. Imaging a digital screen that would make your mouth water – as well as your heart thump – is one of the gifts that Jobs left the world. Products and services that transcended function and become a thing of beauty.
Simple question – do your products or services evoke lick-worthy emotion and passion? Do you deliver the basic function or do you leave an artistic impression?
It doesn’t matter if you sell life insurance, manufacture industry drill bits, or sell second-hand jeans. If Jobs could make a phone lick-worthy, we’re all responsible to inject beauty into our craft if we want to optimally serve customers and enjoy sustainable success.
More than ever, customers of all types crave artistic design and breathtaking experiences, even in the grocery aisle or the barbershop. Whether you’re in a mature, traditional industry or crafting the next startup, delighting the senses is an opportunity to break from the competitive flock and forge new advantage.
Let’s learn from the legendary Mr. Jobs that beauty not only stirs the soul but also rings the register. Push the creative boundaries to make your product or service deserving of a smooch, hug, or snuggle. Activate customer emotions, and you’ll enjoy results that are delicious enough to lick.

I’m not a sales guru by any stretch but this is about a sales technique that I wouldn’t recommend.
We all value reviews on services and products from our friends, the general public and experts, especially in this connected world. I’ve never been one to provide negative reviews but this is a quick story of how I went from a potential repeat customer to a negative reviewer very quickly.
I’m sure a few have been in similar situations and hopefully someone can learn from it. No one likes to be treated like a fool especially when you are the one holding the cheque.
I was after some shutters on a number of windows at home. I called a company I had used many years earlier at my previous house so I was a repeat customer. Their salesperson came out to do his measurements then worked out some pricing before we sat down to look at the numbers.
The very first thing he did was write down a number on a piece of paper, told me this is the retail price then crossed it out and wrote another number down because “he wasn’t going to stuff me around”. Really? I pushed him a little and very quickly we were at about 44% of the retail price.
The caveat he had on the price was that he “believed” scaffolding would be required to complete the job. The next time I spoke to the salesperson was to tell me the cost of the scaffolding required which added up to a 40% increase on the price he quoted – so we were practically back to the retail price remarkably enough!
“But you are still getting a 44% discount on the shutters, it is the size of the house that requires this level of scaffolding”, he told me. Really? Does this sales tactic really work on anyone?
I wasn’t just not going to use their service, I was pissed and I called/emailed the company to get a comment back. Nothing was forthcoming so I wrote a review on productreview.com.au and gave them 1 star out of 5 (the minimum). I must admit it felt good. I showed them!
It’s amazing how quick you can turn someone from a potential repeat customer to a negative reviewer so quickly and in today’s online world, why would you take the risk?
Footnote: I got a great job on the shutters for less than the 44% off the retail price I was initially quoted with no scaffolding required.

In a caucus meeting on Monday, the Monroe County Democratic Party tapped Pirani to represent the party in the county council District 3 race this November.
Monroe County Democratic Party Chairman Mark Fraley said trying to unseat a veteran public servant such as Hawk will be challenging, but he believes the party has the momentum to flip the seat. Hawk, the sole Republican on the seven-member county council, has served as District 3's representative since 1998. She has also served on the county council before as an at-large member.
But Pirani believes it is time for someone new to represent District 3 on the county council. Pirani said that for the past year and a half, she has dedicated her time to social justice activism and learning how to run a successful campaign. She hopes to bring her experience as a community leader and her ability to work collaboratively with others to resolve issues to the county council. She also plans to demonstrate transparency by hosting monthly constituent meetings.
Pirani serves on a number of committees and organizations throughout Monroe County. These include the county chapter of the National Organization for Women, a multi-issue progressive political organization that formed locally in 2017. Pirani is one of the founding members of the organization, and currently serves as its president.
In addition, Pirani is a member of the Monroe County Democratic Black Caucus and the Democratic Women’s Caucus. She also has experience working on campaigns. Most recently, she worked with Erika Oliphant (candidate for prosecutor) and Christine Talley Haseman (candidate for circuit court judge) on their campaigns. Both candidates won their contested primary races in May.
While a caucus was held on Monday for the county council District 3 race, there are a number of township and Ellettsville Town Council races still missing a Democratic candidate for the general election.
Carolyn VandeWiele, the Democratic representative on the Monroe County Election Board, said major political parties have until noon on June 30 to fill ballot vacancies, but they do not necessarily have to hold a caucus to do so. Fraley said ballot vacancies can also be filled through appointment, but that given the high profile of a county council seat, party leadership felt a caucus was more appropriate.
Fraley said the party is still working to fill the remaining slots.
On the other side of the aisle, the Monroe County Republican Party plans to hold a caucus on Wednesday to fill some of that party’s ballot vacancies.

Players in action during the Premier League match between Manchester City and Huddersfield Town.
Manchester City barely got out of second gear as they easily beat bottom club Huddersfield Town to close the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to four points on Sunday.
Danilo's deflected shot gave City the lead in an opening half in which they were not at their sharpest.
That goal took City's goal tally to 100 in all competitions this season -- making them the only club in Europe's top five leagues to reach that total.
Pep Guardiola's side upped the tempo early in the second half and Raheem Sterling headed in their second goal in the 54th minute before Leroy Sane made it 3-0 two minutes later.
City had scored 19 goals in their previous three games without reply -- including two Cup romps against lower league opponents -- but they were subdued in Sunday's first half.
"The way we played we didn't deserve more than three goals," Guardiola said. "We will improve in the future. We have to demand more from ourselves in every game and do our best, but sometimes it's difficult. They defended deep and man-to-man."
"This game can teach us and show what we have to do to improve," Guardiola said. "We've scored a lot of goals. So far, so good. One team has been better but we're in January and there's many more games to play.
"You don't win or lose the Premier League in January. We have to focus on what we have to do. If Liverpool win, we have to win. And if Liverpool lose then we also have to win."
