Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba delivered his first national Budget Speech before the National Assembly on Wednesday and he couldn’t help but channel his inner cool kid.
Delivering the Budget Speech to South Africans has to be hard work? Imagine the intense pressure Malusi Gigaba was under?! Insane!
But it seems like instead of going the stressed-out route, he played it cool, calm, and collected.
During his speech, he called Treasury's opus 'a tough, but hopeful budget'. Hopeful indeed, because just before he tabled the key points on taxes, social spending, and economic growth, he quoted a line from US rapper Kendrick Lamar's song 'Alright'.
He attempted to follow President Cyril Ramaphosa's footsteps by quoting a famous musician. During the recent State of the Nation Address, Ramaphosa quoted the late Hugh Masekela's song, 'Thuma Mina', which means 'Send Me'.
Who knew that Malusi was a Finance expert, rapper, and a poet?
Many took to Twitter to express their reactions to Gigaba's moment.

Why is Entertainment Law Necessary?
The arts are governed by a multitude of confusing laws, old business structures, new business structures, and agreements. Artists would certainly prefer to concentrate on the creative process rather than such formalities. Artists are often blinded by the possibility of developing their art, fame, and money, and end up relying on the word of industry moguls and “keep the process simple.” However, what they fail to realize is these laws and agreements are intended to protect their interests, intellectual property, craft, and needs.
FILM covering option agreements, finance, chain of title issues, talent agreements (scriptwriters, film directors, actors, composers, set designers), production and post production and trade union issues, distribution issues, motion picture industry negotiations distribution, and general intellectual property issues relating to copyright and, to a lesser extent, trademarks.
MUSIC including talent agreements (musicians, composers) producer agreements, and synchronization rights, music industry negotiation and general intellectual property issues relating to copyright.
and other performance oriented legal issues.
author agreements and other copyright related issues.
issues also arise in entertainment law.

And this past Sunday, we were lucky enough to be able to host them at the Shelburne Museum as part of our Concerts on the Green series. Fans from all over flocked to Shelburne, VT to enjoy the Americana bluegrass twang of this iconic foursome during their Labor Day weekend. The evening was a complete success, despite the soggy, 55-degree weather (that's Vermont for you). Fans snuggled up under umbrellas with their Ben & Jerry's, ready to brave anything for their favorite tunes. Fans of the opening performer, Nicole Atkins, were particularly devoted, lining up in droves more than an hour before the doors opened to get prime spots for her show.
When the Avett Brothers took the stage, they displayed their signature versatility with renditions of jump-up-and-down tunes like "Kick Drum Heart" and sentimental classics like "Murder in the City". There was an added note emotion that evening, as it was the last show for keyboardist Paul Defiglia. Fans who missed the show (or who just can't get enough of that Avett magic) can look forward to "May it Last", a documentary about the band coming out September 12th.
The group hails from Mount Pleasant, North Carolina, where brothers Scott and Seth Avett started playing music together as children. Through high school, each brother had their own respective band, which they eventually merged into one. When that project ultimately broke up, the brothers couldn’t stop making music together, so they welcomed bassist Bob Crawford on board and called themselves The Avett Brothers. Their first full-length album, Country Was, was released in 2001, featuring raw, minimally-produced pieces.
It wasn’t until just before the release of their fifth full-length album, Emotionalism, in 2007 that cellist Joe Kwon was added to the line-up. And from there, it was nothing but success for The Avett Brothers. Their warm, inviting stage presence drew in crowds from coast to coast, and they started releasing albums every couple of years, between tours all over the country. Fans loved that seeing them always felt communal — more like they’re playing with you than at you, with plenty of room for the audience to clap and sing along.
The band hit a career peak in 2016 with the release of True Sadness, which reached #3 on the Billboard charts and was nominated for a Grammy this past February for Best Americana Album.
And their runaway success hasn’t stopped the group from supporting the causes they believe in. For the past five years, they have teamed up with a North Carolina soft drink company to host a benefit concert called ‘Legendary Giveback’ to raise money for three unique causes: Wags & Wishes, which supports pet adoption and healthy pets; Hungry For Music, which gives musical instruments to children in need; and St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, which is working to defeat childhood cancer.
Don’t miss out on the Concerts on the Green fun! There’s still one more show coming up: The Head and the Heart on Sunday, September 24th.

Climates and weather vary from continent to continent as well as from country to country. This being said, it can be concluded that the Czech climate differs from the climate in the U.S.A. The Czech Republic is a relatively small country, so the climate is similar throughout the entire country. One can witness the differences between all four seasons here. The vegetation is lush and green, and consists of both deciduous and coniferous trees. The temperature ranges from hot summers to cold winters. Thunderstorms are common in the summer, and showers are typical for spring and fall. In the winter, there is the occasional snowfall in the lowlands while the highlands and mountains enjoy enough snow for skiing. Of course, it is colder in the mountains than in the lowlands and valleys.
The U.S. is a very different case. By being a very large country, the U.S. is endowed with a very variable climate. Climate similar to the Czech one can be found along the central East Coast. Temperature wise, the whole central belt of the U.S. is similar to the Czech Republic. In the North however, in states such as Montana, there are very long and harsh winters. Washington and Oregon enjoy almost constant rainfall. Towards the South it becomes much warmer. It is quite difficult to register a change in season in the southernmost states, because the temperatures don’t change much. In L.A., for example, it does get a bit chilly in the winter but never cold enough for a coat. It hasn’t even snowed there for over 50 years. It is also the location of earthquakes as is the entire West Coast. The Southwest of the U.S. is dominated by dry deserts. Vegetation here is sparse and consists of many cacti. Where the elevation in the deserts is higher, the vegetation gradually changes from small shrubs to low juniper bushes to pine trees. Moving towards the center of the U.S., grasslands and plains become more prominent. This is the area of tornadoes. The climate in the East is similar to that in the Czech Republic, with a lot of deciduous forests. The southeastern states such as Florida enjoy warm weather throughout the year, but are at risk of being hit by hurricanes.
By being so rich in different climates, the U.S. offers a wide variety of weekend destinations. People can visit beaches, and mountains, as well as a numerous amount of national parks. The parks vary from featuring mountains and evergreen forests, to geysers, to red rock canyons, and even deserts. The United States truly comprise of almost everything when it comes to climate and landscapes.

I remember, when I was a kid, playing in the snow was my favourite thing. We used to sit by the window, waiting for the snow to fall thick enough before phoning up everyone to meet in front of the building. The cold was not a problem when we were kids, cause we would roll around in the snow, and run around so much we would start taking our clothes off.
As I got older, cold and snow were not so fun anymore. When I look through the window and see a lot of snow I immediately start thinking of all the problems it will cause me. I guess it is easiest for most of us to endure spring and autumn.
Spring and autumn are my favourite times of the year. I don’t like anything extreme. I don’t like when anything is too spicy, too hot, too cold, too sweet, to sour… I also don’t like perfumes that make me dizzy, so this spring I opted out for a mellow version of spring in the bottle.
S.Oliver so pure collection comes in mellow flower scents which are perfect for those of us who like to make a statement in a more mellow way.
The collection consists of a small perfume, easily carried in a purse anywhere with you and gives away a nice gentle smell of upcoming spring.
Deodorant is seethrough. It doesn’t leave any marks on the clothes and the smell is similar to the perfume but comes with a more of a powdery smell, which will leave you and your clothes smelling soft and fresh.
During bath time s.Oliver so pure bath and shower gel is of a nice smooth texture, what I love the most about it is that it leaves a very radiant smell on the skin even after leaving the bath or shower. Unlike other shower gels it doesn’t wash off, but if the scent is not strong enough for you, there is also a lotion version of it which hydrates the skin and adds a scent on the skin that stays during the whole day.
The whole so pure collection really reminds me of childhood, when your mom washes your clothes and it smells fresh for a very long time. It is not aggressive like most, so it gives subtle scents of spring where ever you go.
It is available in almost every perfume shop and online. Perfect for a gift to a friend or loved one. Packaging is in lovely baby pink colours, making it soft from the outside as it is on the inside.

Biography: In June 1964 with fifteen members Meirion Jones formed the male voice choir, and due to the encouragement received commenced to attract new members.
From the outset, competing was an integral part of the Choirs activities. Their first competition was at the Llanffestiniog jubilee Eisteddfod in 1965. Following success at this Eisteddfod it was decided to make 1966 the starting point for a sustained period of competition which indeed continues to the present day. Between 1966 and 1974 the Choirs success could be compared to that of a modern day football team with the following statistics: 26 competitions, 19 first prizes, 3 second prizes.
In 1972 the Choir won first prize at the Butlins Eisteddfod.
But it hasn’t all been competition. In 1975 the Choir made an historic trip behind the ‘ Iron Curtain’ and visited Hungary where they appeared before a panel of Hungary’s most eminent musicians and were awarded a Diploma from the Academy of Culture for their performance. Since this first historic trip the Choir has toured far and wide, which have included two tours of America, two tours of Belgium. Two visits to the Interceltique Festival in Lorient and several tours to Ireland and Scotland. Further National Eisteddfod successes occurred in 1977, 2002 and 2005.
The Brythoniaid have many records and C.D’s.
To those who have heard the Brythoniaid Male Voice choir singing will agree that it has an unique sound which has given enjoyment to a huge number of people over the years and long may this continue.

Activision has confirmed that their upcoming FPS The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct will be releasing on the Wii U, alongside PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.
“We were over halfway through the project when the Wii U thing started coming about.We didn’t want to change the game, because the game had already been established, so we tried to say, ‘What can we augment with the Wii U version?
The whole concept for the game is an interesting one, especially since it will be rather jarring in comparison to Telltale Games’ slow paced, story focused third person point and click-alike The Walking Dead. Obviously you cannot compare the two as games, but it will still be interesting to see a different developer’s take on the grim and dangerous world of The Walking Dead.

The next LSA Summer Linguistic Institute will be held at the University of California at Davis from June 24 – July 19, 2019. The theme of the Institute is Language in the Digital Era.
We are currently accepting proposals for additional courses to be offered during the Institute. These courses will be complemented by courses taught by faculty directly invited by the Institute’s organizing committee. The aim is to develop a slate of courses that provides broad coverage of linguistics within the context of the Institute’s theme.
All Institute courses will last for four weeks, with two 90-minute class periods each week (for a total of eight class sessions). We are interested in proposals for courses that are broadly related to this theme, as well as in any area of linguistics (including those unrelated to the theme).
We are particularly interested in proposals for clusters of courses that relate to one another, especially when taught by a group of scholars interested in using the Institute to pursue collaborative research projects.
For the instructors of accepted courses, the Institute will cover the costs of travel, housing, and will provide a small honorarium. Proposals to co-teach courses are welcome, including proposals that split courses between two instructors. For co-taught courses, expenses will be paid for both instructors but the honorarium will be divided between the instructors.
Proposals will be evaluated by the course review committee. On the basis of the proposal evaluations, the LSA 2019 Institute Steering Committee will make a final selection of courses that ensures a coherent, well-balanced curriculum.
A brief statement of any synergistic activities related to the course should also be included. This might include (among other possibilities): collaborators teaching (or proposing) other courses, relationship of the course to workshops or other events held at the LSA annual meeting, and so on. We encourage all proposals to explore synergies with the LSA annual meetings (both before and after the Institute) to enhance the continuity of the projects. We also encourage those proposing to teach a course to consider becoming members of the LSA (if you are not already or are a lapsed member).
Proposals should avoid overlap with courses already planned for the 2019 Institute (see http://lsa2019.ucdavis.edu/courses/ for a tentative list of invited courses).
The deadline for receipt of course proposals is April 1, 2018. Proposals should be submitted as a pdf to info.lsa.institute@ucdavis.edu.

Sun, moisture, drainage – all three of these are essential if you want your lawn looking great for summer, which means spring is the perfect time to make a start.
After winter weather, your grass will start to recover and grow, so by providing the best care at this early stage, you can ensure you get great results right the way through the year.
Firstly, you’ll need to give your lawn its first cut. However, you must not take more than one third of the length off as this will stress the lawn. It is best to do little but often – as the growth picks up speed further into spring and summer, you can start reducing the grass length.
While the spring sun shines you need to give your lawn a good feed to make sure it has access to all the nutrients that encourage strong and healthy growth. With a whole selection of fertilisers available, it may be best to get some advice from our in-store staff to ensure you find the best option for you. For those of you with uneven lawns, top dressing may prove very helpful – simply brush it on when the lawn is dry and this will also aid drainage.
If you have any weeds that have appeared over winter, now is the time to treat them. You can either remove them by hand (just make sure you get the roots out too) or apply a suitable herbicide – we strongly recommend you pop by one of our shops of give us a call to ensure you find the right one to solve your problem. If you have areas of lawn that have been damaged by high traffic, you can go about overseeding too.
Now is also the right time to scarify your lawn with a rake. This will reduce the build up of dead grass matter, roots as well as moss – meaning less competition and improved growing conditions for your grass. To help improve drainage, aeration and a healthier lawn, take a fork to any compacted areas.
For a final flourish, cut back trees and shrubs that cast constant shade over your lawn, which will ensure all areas of your lawn get adequate sunlight throughout the day.
If you like further lawn advice tailored for you, please do get in touch with us – you can either talk to us over the phone or come by one of our shops to chat in person.

We’re starting this list off with something substantial. Sharp edged and looking sharp, this 1966 Ford Galaxie LTD can be yours for only $4,900. Located way up in Orillia, Ont., this big Ford is certainly not LTD on space, as it seems to be too big to fit in any one picture. Though 4.7 litres might seem like a lot of displacement, it’s also up against a lot of bulk. Expect acceleration to be less than muscular. But the lack of big-block power doesn’t mean you can’t cruise with this Galaxie. This is the perfect car to stretch out on the inviting bench seat and just drive.
Representing the complete opposite end of the spectrum is this microscopic Honda Beat available in Calgary for just $2,900. And, indeed, it does look a little beat. Power is created by a naturally aspirated 660-cc three-cylinder and despite having pistons the size of thimbles, it might actually be faster than the Galaxy listed above. These cars have an amazing sound on full wail and can rev to a frenetic 9,000 rpm. Finding parts for JDM novelties is always a gamble, but it might just be worth it for this pint-sized convertible.
If looking like a giant highlighter standing out is a priority for you, then this 1989 Ford Mustang in Okanogan, B.C., might just be the car for you! Painted a decidedly non-stock shade of punch-you-in-the-eyes-yellow, this Mustang is said to gallop thanks to a modified 302 V8 coupled to a manual transmission. And it’s even marked down to $4,480 as part of a “WINTER PRISE SPECIAL.” Inside, things look relatively clean and yellow piping on the seats matches the vibrant exterior.
But what if you think sporty cars are for punk kids and you price your vehicles by the pound? Well then, this 1976 Oldsmobile Delta 98 might be just the ticket. This ample Olds has more black velour than a Las Vegas boudoir and could be yours for just $3,888 in Toronto. There’s 455 cubic inches of V8 propelling this barge and it gets great mileage in comparison to an ocean liner. Handling can be assumed to be similarly nautical. For better or worse, there really is no new car that can deliver the same driving-on-a-cloud sensation of comfort.
Though it’s not the best car for students, this oh-so 1980s white 1985 Pontiac Fiero GT makes a compelling argument for ownership. Located in Bolton, Ont., this Fiero packs a V6 engine, manual transmission and has covered only 134,000 kms. All that for $4,990 and you get to tell your friends that the engine is in the middle like a Ferrari. In fact, this Fiero and a 458 are practically identical. If you wear high tops listen to Def Leppard, this might be the car to complete your look.
Located in Quebec, this 1989 Jaguar XJ40 is the gentleman’s choice for used automobiles. For $3,491, you get leather seats, a smooth inline six and a legendary care for long distance driving… In between Jaguar repair shops, that is. These cars have a very regal presence to them that is rare in modern cars. They also have a host electrical problems that modern cars don’t have. However, with some sorting, these cars are some of the best long distance cars ever made. But assuming you could tame this wild cat, it would be quite the ride for the money. You just might have to invest in more suits to match the car.
Can you help us identify this mystery car?

New hands-on classes will teach core and advanced programming skills to cobot users regardless of their robotics experience or backgrounds, using certified trainers hosted by Universal Robots and its global channel partners. Classes are meant to broaden users’ understanding of Universal Robots’ cobots and their endless range of use cases, while providing opportunities for hands-on practice in real-life applications.
Three U.S.-based authorized training centres (ATC) are now opening at Universal Robots’ offices in Ann Arbor, Mich., Long Island, N.Y., and Irvine, Calif. Ten additional ATCs spread across Europe and Asia have already started welcoming students. The company expects to have 50 fully authorized centres around the world up and running by the end of 2019, with approximately 15 of those in North America.
So far, 500+ customers have successfully completed the training at the new centres. Some centres are run by UR while others are operated by its partners. The share of partner-operated entities is expected to grow rapidly in the coming months.
As part of the new program, Universal Robots Certified Trainers will conduct training modules that cover a range of core and advanced cobot programming skills, including cobot scripting, industrial communication and interface usage. Small class sizes with student-centered objectives and hands-on practice with UR cobots ensure that participants come away with valuable skills they can apply immediately in their workplace.
The modules of the ATC program include core classes for basic applications and advanced courses for scripting, force control and industrial communication.
In addition to the current three centres in the U.S., ATCs are located in Germany, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, China, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Mexico.

LG Watch Urbane met him barely ten days ago, moment in which the Koreans decided to teach us their appearance, and some of its main specifications. Therefore in such a short time already have evolved the product to a new version: LG Watch Urbane LTE.
The new watch is presented with more changes that we would expect, the first is obvious, and is not anything other than the incorporation of LTE connectivity in a clock. The first time that a smartwatch dares with this type of connectivity, which is also accompanied by support NFC.
In terms of design, a remarkable difference we have in the keypad, while original Urbane is presented with a single button, the model LTE we see that there are up to three on the side. They tell us that the upper button opens the information related to battery, brightness, and other important parameters, while the lower button is navigation and takes you back to the operating system.
Aside from hardware innovations, the most striking point is found in the absence of Android Wear as an operating system, which is precisely which uses original Urbane. Strange change, especially if we take into account that does not tell us what the alternative.
Some might think of webOS, as it is the case of the prototype that we were taught with Audi, but some media have contacted LG to know that that is not the option. It seems that LG would be developing a new platform, which logically remains compatible with phones Android (version 4.4 onwards).
The inclusion of the support NFC It is not trivial, as is the case with Apple Watch, it will be used to make payments with the device. LG has not given more details regarding this, but invites us to think about payment by contact, without that the phone is in operation.
On technical specifications, the LG Watch Urbane LTE has a battery of 700mAh, that is 1.7 times larger than that of a LG G Watch R, or the original Urbane model (both have a 410 mAh unit).
In its interior there are sensors of all kinds, such as accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, atmospheric pressure, heart rate, even GPS. More interesting is we find that the RAM memory is folded up to 1GB, While the storage remains in 4GB.
There seems to be changes on your screen P-Oled 1.3 inches, with a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels, not in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 (can offer LTE).
The luxurious LG watch we are going to see at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, as a first model with connectivity for LTE in see the light. We remind you that Samsung put on the market last summer a S Gear, with connectivity 3G, mobile self-employed.
We hope to see demonstrations of calls VoLTE without the need for a phone at your side. It will also introduce a system of communication style”walkie-talkie”. Over which we have no information is about prices or actual date of availability, will obviously be more expensive than the first Urbane.

We have the perfect RX Safety Glasses if your current prescription is with you. Our collection from leading edge brands will offer satisfaction beyond your expectations. All RX Protective Glasses we provide are compliant with OHSA’s workplace guidelines & ANSI Z787.1 safety standards.
If you are in a fog (pun intended), it’s time to pay attention to an anti-fogging lens of your favorite goggles. The problem of fogging is pervasive in various forms of activities, depending on the type of environment. The condensation can occur during a crucial point during work. According to The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), 2000 eye injuries happen every day. These injuries include the ones owed to blurry vision caused by fogging on the lens. Another research carried out by the Occupational Safety & Health Standards surveyed workers who believed 28% of eye injuries are caused by fogged vision. Fogging is sometimes imminent at work, which must be dealt with by wearing appropriate eyewear. This can be done with either getting a suitable coating on the lens of your glasses or a new anti-fogging lens. Branded RX Safety Glasses provides its users with the option of getting an anti-fogging lens or a separate coating. In light of the aforementioned, this article bears an overview of under what conditions anti-fogging lens are suitable to wear.
There are a number of ways in which this problem can be approached. One is with the use of Anti-Fogging lens. Anti-fogging lenses have been very popular in terms of dealing with blurry vision effectively. For instance, Protective Eyewear from top brands provides you with a peripheral anti-fogging lens along with the option of vision correction. Some even come with polarized lenses. However, it’s important to note that all glasses must be ANSI 787.1 compliant. Along with the mechanism of preventing fog, they must also offer durability against high impact accidents. Another thing worth mentioning here is that there must be ample airflow around the lens. This allows the inner surface to adapt to outside warm temperature, allowing it to prevent misty lens. Another solution is to get the lens coated with anti-fogging material, which is effective in almost 99% of the cases.
Exposure to sunlight is essential. It provides us with all the ingredients we need to lead a healthy life. It protects us against inflammation, improves brain function & bestows other benefits to us. However, extended exposure to sunlight can be dangerous for your health. Evidence shows that 90 percent of skin cancer is caused by extended exposure to sunlight. This is essentially due to the Ultra Violet Rays (UV) present in sunlight. This article attempts to present a discourse on how long term hazards can be averted with RX Safety Glasses.
The UV rays form only the bottom 10% of the sunlight. Essentially the UV rays are in the form of electromagnetic radiation (ER). They are made up of different wavelengths & frequencies which determine their ability to penetrate through varying levels of earth’s atmosphere. The differences in the ER spectrum allows some rays to have shorter & others to have longer wavelengths. The longer wavelengths get filtered out by the earth’s stratosphere level (commonly known as the ozone layer). The two types of rays which are able to penetrate the earth’s atmosphere are UV-A & B. 3M Safety Glasses contain polycarbonate lens which is highly UV ray absorbent.
Expounding on the aforementioned, UV light is also emitted by the machines created by humans. Most hospitals use UV light to eliminate pathogens. Examples include dental curing light, tanning machines, etc. Long hours of exposure to artificial UV light can also lead to long term eye illnesses. UV-A type of light affects the frontal area of the eye, namely the crystalline lens. UV-B type of light permeates further up to the central region of the eye (macula) causing severe damage. This can lead to conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration & even blindness. Cataracts cause clouding of the lens, leading to blindness. Likewise, Macular degeneration deprives a person to see details clearly in the long run. UV exposure can also lead to sunburn, commonly known as “Photokeratitis”. It can cause irritation, redness and even vision loss. This is even worrisome where people have a need for refractive correction. For this, 3M Prescription Safety Glasses combine vision correction along with the protective mechanism.
Much of the damage incurred during the earlier years do not appear until later in life. Increased frequency of exposure will lead to direr vision problems in the long run.
Taking possible measure to keep your vision intact is necessary. Investing in a good PPE such as 3M Protective Eyewear would pay dividends. All RX glasses guarantee 100% UV-A & B type absorption to prevent eye to host any long term illnesses. It is also necessary to protect against any foreign debris, projectiles or fine particles which may cause irreversible damage. RX eyewear complies with the ANSI Z787.1 standard, which offers UV protection. Always look out for a “U” marking etched on the lens to discern the level of protection offered by the lens.
OTG (Over the Glass) eyewear can be a popular choice among some people. It is when a person wears additional protection for eyes over their regular RX glasses. Conversely, this is different in the case of safety gear for eyes with vision correction. RX Safety Glasses embodies both functions in one protective gear. In any case, offering protection for your vision becomes the first priority naturally. According to The Vision Council, two thousand eye injuries occur each year. These injuries can be easily prevented by the use of protective eyewear by 90%. Hence, protecting your eyes at work is not to be compromised with. This article aims to draw a relevant comparison between both OTG & Safety Glasses.
These type of glasses are similar to regular protective goggles in terms of offering robust protection. They are also compliant with ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard Z87.1. The very standard provides protection against high impact accidents. OTG possess the anti-fog lenses which help in removing the hassle of removing & cleaning eyewear repeatedly in cold temperatures. In contrast to Protective Eyewear, they can be worn over your own glasses and removed when not needed. They are a common apparatus of protection for industry workers who are cost conscious. It is often a choice for workers who have their own prescription glasses. The most obvious benefit of wearing additional protective eyewear is not putting all of your eggs in one basket. For instance, there often comes a time when the prescription lens of individual changes. This would be highly counterproductive with regular safety eyewear. Limitation arises when vision correction is combined with protection. It makes the gear unusable if the vision correction needs to change over time. Another point in favor of OTG gear is the option to be able to share it with other workers. They do not possess the inherent refractive error correction mechanism which makes them usable for almost everyone. In contrast, ANSI Safety Glasses offer the option of refractive correction which is beneficial in the long run. OTG proves to be a source of reducing cost in the short run for the employees & businesses.
Over-prescription glasses can reduce your cost in the short run but they can prove disadvantageous. The most pervasive complain from workers about them is the discomfort & clunky design. Long hours of wearing OTG can cause workers to remove them intermittently. This can cause accidents to occur during hours of not wearing any protective gear for workers. Prescription safety gear can also be a one-stop shop for an individual’s needs. In the long run, it reduces the actual cost of glasses per employee by combining both vision correction with safety. Most contemporary companies also pay special attention to the aesthetic department of safety eyewear. They ensure the wearers look good in them as well. Hence, most people can never go wrong with Prescription Safety Glasses.
At some point in our life, aging takes its toll on our eyes in an indispensable fashion. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, approximately 1.8 billion people in the world are affected by presbyopia. That’s almost one-quarter of the global population! This common refractive error, better known as farsightedness, often manifests in later part of our lives. One has come to terms with the fact that losing accuracy of vision is natural. As we age, we lose the elasticity of the eye’s lens which severely hampers our ability to focus on objects. The youthful elasticity of the lens helps our eyes to switch focus according to varying distances effortlessly. This deteriorates with age. Here, the use of bifocal RX safety glasses can play a huge role.
Essentially the lens consists of two lenses being assembled into a single one. Most bi-focal lenses come with some portion of itself to provide correction for near vision & the other or for far sight. There are also certain shapes of bi-focal lenses. One is the Flat-top or the straight top bi-focal lens which consists of the second lens having the upper border as a straight line. Round seg ones contain a circular border of the extra lens. The Franklin bi-focal lens shape consists of an equal surface area for either lens type (Near & Far). Bi-Focal lenses can also be integrated with safety eyewear frames.
The case for amalgamating the function of protection with vision is usually done in protective eyewear. They especially help workers whose vision is impaired and guard them against hazards at the workplace. They help in offering protection against flying foreign objects such as bits of metal or fine particles of dust. Also, modern safety gear for the eyes is standardized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The compliance with Z87.1 since circa 2003 provides assurance against high impact accidents at work. The mechanism of guarding against UV (Ultra Violet) rays is also present in safety eyewear. The brunt of providing protective eyewear falls on the employer mostly. It is also incumbent upon them to conduct regular eye checkups for workers requiring prescription safety glasses. They must assure the actual type of hazards occurring at the workplace before actually buying the protective gear for eyes.
Thus, the need for bi-focal RX Safety Glasses cannot be discounted, especially in the case of workers. They not only perform the sole function of aiding in reading. Seeing with two lenses can greatly help laborers at the workplace as well. It removes the irksome idea of constantly adjusting the distance of the object to obtain better focus. It’s crucial for workers to seamlessly perform their task uninterruptedly. Frequent adjustments of the object’s distance can impede productivity. Bi-focal glasses are vaunted wear for some children & young individuals too. Hence, having two lenses can surely be of great help if they are integrated with safety glasses.

Yesterday, our son, a college junior, forwarded a copy of a paper he'd written for a History class. His topic was, "Germany as a Pawn in the Cold War." It was a good paper, if I can be parental.
One thing that especially moved me was his description of the Church's role in the collapse of Soviet tyranny in Germany. He'd interviewed a German emigre to this country who had described some of the long-standing weekly prayer gatherings that took place in East Germany during the repressive post-World War Two era. Those prayer gatherings gave hope to people, connecting them to God and acting as conduits by which God's forgiveness, healing, and hope came to a nation which in preceding decades had been the epicenter of so much evil.
My son said that as he contemplated these silent prayer gatherings and the ensuing events--the disappearance of the Berlin Wall, the reunification of Germany, the joyful end of Soviet-led communism--he thought of Joseph in the Old Testament. Joseph's brothers had caused him untold pain. Joseph, sold into slavery, later endured imprisonment for a crime he never committed before miraculously, being elevated to the position of prime minister in Egypt. There was a family reunion and Joseph treated his father, brothers, and family with acceptance and love. But after Jacob, the father of Joseph and his brothers, died, the brothers became concerned that the moment had come when Joseph would feel free to exact vengeance on them. They seem to have concocted a story about how their old man had told them that if he died before Joseph, they should let Joseph know it was his will that he not be vengeful toward them. When Joseph heard his brothers, he wept and told them, in the Daniels paraphrase of this passage, "Don't you guys get it, what you meant as an evil, God has turned into a good thing. Through my work in Egypt, I've been able to save all sorts of lives, including the lives of the family God has designated to be the breeding ground for the Savior of the world. You tried to do something rotten. But God turned rottenness into blessings. I'm not God. So, relax. I love you. All is forgiven and all is forgotten."
God wasn't interested in exacting vengeance on Germany, my son concluded. And a small band of praying people unleashed blessings on Germany and the entire former "Eastern bloc."
Prayer in Jesus' Name is a powerful thing! For more on the role of prayer in the break-up of the former Soviet Union, you might want to check out the following web sites: http://www3.sympatico.ca/ian.ritchie/Berlin.Wall.htm or http://www.pcusa.org/missionconnections/letters/callisong_0209.htm.
I'll share a more personal experience in this regard in a later post.
Pastor Heather and I have exchanged additional e-mailed thoughts on my column of March 25, Preachers Aren't Politicians, which was posted here along with our earlier e-mailed dialog.
This is the first opportunity I've had to respond to your last e-mail.
The Martin Niemoller quote is one of my favorites. I have cited it myself when dealing with issues of injustice and prejudice. I deem it entirely irrelevant to discussions about the war, though.
Buy the argument or not, the Bush Administration says that its reasons for pressing the war are twofold: (1) To rid Iraq of the weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein committed to destroying at the end of the Gulf War; (2) To rid Iraq of Saddam Hussein's regime. France, Germany, Susan Sarandon, everybody seem to agree that these two goals are appropriate. The disagreement comes as to what is the best way to pursue them.
As I say, I have opinions about the war and I have expressed them to public officials. Of course, I hope that my political opinions are informed by my Christian moral convictions.
But I believe that it would be totally wrong for me to say that I have the word from on high that this particular war is contrary to God's will or that it's in line with God's will.
It would make it easy for everyone if we could simply say that all war is contrary to God's will. In an ultimate sense, that's true. All war reflects the inability of peoples to share this planet in peace. But we also know, as Luther highlights in his essay on the two kingdoms, that God institutes civil authority as an emergency measure in a fallen world for the purpose of coercing peaceful, civilized behavior from those who don't voluntarily live that way. Luther said that if there weren't governments to enforce civilized behavior on the disorderly, followers of Christ would live as lambs among ravenous wolves. I don't like it that we need armies, navies, and police forces in this world. But I believe that at present, it is God's will that they exist and as citizens, we are then left with the awful freedom to decide if and when they are to be used.
Publicly, I feel that my call as a Pastor is to speak only that Word that God has given me to speak. There are times when it may compel me to speak against the policies of a government, something I have done repeatedly throughout eighteen years as a pastor. But above all, speaking only the Word that God gives me to speak means lifting up Christ so that the Holy Spirit can work in the hearts of believing and unbelieving people and as a result, a reluctant world can voluntarily live under the Lordship of the Prince of Peace.
I hope that this clarifies what I was trying to say, Heather, even if you find it unconvincing.
If I have learned anything in my first three years as a pastor, it is how little I know. I never intended to imply that I have the answer from "from on high" or to misuse the Niemoller quote.
When I speak on this issue, my one point is to call for peace. In the article I wrote, I called for Christians to always speak a word of peace to each other and the world. It is interesting to see how people interpret this message for themselves. I chaired a small planning committee, for the local ministerial assiocation, that put together an Interfaith Candlelight Vigil for Peace on Sunday night, March 23. We shared readings, prayers, and songs all calling for peace. We were careful to create a space were all people of faith, regardless of how they felt about the military action that began days before, would feel comfortable. It was quite a mix of people and view points. But it was an amazing site to see people with pictures of loved ones in the armed forces and serving in Iraq standing next to ardent anti-war protesters. Both with candles in their hands and both praying for peace. The "mixed message" of this peace vigil is highlighted in an article the local newspaper did on the event. I do think it is the right message and best of what religious leaders can do to bridge the gap between those on boths sides of the issue.
It's not that I find your position unconvincing. (I am not convincied of much these days except that "nothing... can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus".) The issue for me is, is this a time and a place for the church (and it's pastors, bishop, leaders) to speak? For you the answer is no but there has been and might again be a time and a place that will compel you (and the church) to speak. For me this is the time and the place for the church to speak as it has in the past and will in the future.
Thank you for your words and willingness to dialogue on this issue. I am listening (and learning) to you and all the other voices in the church. And I know that we are all praying for peace.
In the spirit of my Sunday message (and blog posting) of March 30, 2003, I have a confession to make. I learned late last night that the "news" story regarding Andrew Carlssin with which I begin was actually a hoax. I hope that fact doesn't detract from the overall effect of the message. Everything else is true. I needed to come to the light on this one!
This past week, authorities from the Securities and Exchange Commission arrested a forty-four year old man named Andrew Carlssin for insider stock trading. While much of the stock market was in the tank, Carlssin managed to turn an $800.00 initial investment into a portfolio worth more than $350-million. And he did it in two weeks’ time in a series of 126 high risk trades, every one of which turned out to be a winner. “The only way he could [have pulled] it off is with illegal inside information,” one SEC investigator said.
Carlssin refuses to confess to illegally tapping into inside information. But in a four-hour confession he did own up to being a time traveler from the year 2256. In an attempt to gain leniency, he’s offered to share such “historical facts” as where Osama bin Laden is hiding and the cure for AIDS.
Confession is a difficult thing for any of us. It’s so difficult for Andrew Carlssin that he’s apparently more willing to look silly than to come clean. For the follower of Jesus Christ, confession is no less difficult than it is for anyone else. It can be embarrassing and humiliating to confess our wrongs, whether we confess them to God, to others, or to ourselves. But followers of Jesus also know that confession is an essential component for healthy living. In confession—owning up to our faults and sins, coming clean—we clear away anything and everything that obstructs our relationship with God or keeps us from living life fully.
"..those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God."
When we are truthful with God, we can come into His blazingly true light, see our faults up close, seek God’s forgiveness, and know that God will light our way to better living.
Martin Luther was fond of saying that the follower of Jesus Christ is called to live “in daily repentance and renewal.” We need to constantly re-focus our lives on Jesus, never being afraid to “come clean” about our faults and our need of God’s forgiveness and help. Confession needs to be a daily discipline for Jesus-followers. But what exactly do we mean when we talk about confession?
There are three elements that go into genuine confession. First: There is a genuine examination of one’s conscience. In shorthand, that means honesty. Richard Foster is a Quaker theologian and writer whose most famous work is a book called Celebration of Discipline. There, he tells a story from early in his ministry as a young pastor. His work was going well. But he felt the need for more of God’s power in his life in order to meet the almost crushing demand of human need that he confronted each day in his work. He prayed to God, “Lord, is there more You want to bring into my life? I want to be conquered and ruled by You. If there is anything blocking the flow of Your power, reveal it to me.” Over a period of several days during his prayer time, Foster sat in silence, asking God to reveal things to him. At the end of three days’ time, he had filled three sheets of paper with sins and unresolved conflicts from three different phases of his life. He took those with him one day as he met with a trusted Christian friend. He went through each one and was putting the stack into a briefcase when his friend reached across the table, took the sheets in hand, and tore them into hundreds of little pieces. Echoing words that appear in the Old Testament book of Isaiah, Foster says that he knew then that his sins “were as far away as the east is from the west.” It was shortly after engaging in that exercise in confession that Foster began to develop a closer relationship with God.
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."
Confession begins with honesty, asking God to help us fearlessly face His inventory of our sin. It’s only when we’re honest with God about our sin that He can purge it from our systems.
The second element in genuine confession is sorrow. Sorrow, as it relates to confession, isn’t necessarily an emotion. I was talking with someone about his teenage years once. He told me, “As much as it may make me sound like a goody-two-shoes, I have to tell you that back then, I never did anything my parents didn’t want me to do. If they wanted me to be home by midnight, I was usually home by ten till. If they told me not to hang out with particular people, I didn’t do it.” I asked him, “Were you that afraid of your parents?” “I was never afraid of my parents,” he told me. “I just knew how much they loved me and I never wanted to hurt their feelings.” Sorrow over sin is animated by the same impulse that guy expressed about his parents. The cross of Jesus shows us how deeply and desperately God loves us. Sorrow over sin is a sense of deep regret and revulsion at the whole notion of having done anything to offend the heart of our Father God.
The third element in genuine confession is a determination to avoid sin. When we confess our sin to God, we ask Him to change our hearts so that we want to avoid future sin. We ask God to change our wills and make us recoil and turn away from the very idea of violating any of God’s ten commandments, the thrust of which Jesus once summed up as being two-fold: to love God completely and to love others as we love ourselves.
Writer John Ortberg tells about a mauve sofa that he and his wife bought. It was the first new piece of furniture they had ever owned. After the sofa was delivered, a new rule was instituted in their household, which included several small children. “Don’t sit on the mauve sofa. Don’t touch it, don’t play around it, don’t eat on it, don’t breathe on it, don’t even look at that mauve sofa.” But one day, a terrible thing happened. A red jelly stain appeared on the mauve sofa. Ortberg’s wife loved the sofa and was devastated. She lined up the three kids and told them the stain would stay in the sofa “forever” and asked the kids if they knew how long “forever” was. She then told the kids that they would remain standing forever until one of them came clean, owning up to eating and spilling jelly on the mauve sofa. But the kids didn’t say a thing.
Ortberg knew the kids wouldn’t say anything for three reasons. First, because they’d never seen their mom that mad. Second, because they didn’t want to spend forever in the time-out chair. And finally, because John Ortberg knew that it was he, not his kids, who had caused the red jelly stain on the mauve sofa. He knew that he had to come clean. He might not be able to remove the jelly stain from the sofa, but he could get his kids off the hook and try to start fresh with his wife.
When we confess our sins, exposing our faults in God’s bright light, we remove the walls between God and us, between other people and us, between us and our best selves. The discipline of confession is hard. But it’s the way to experiencing all that God intends for us as His children.
[I was first alerted to the news item about Andrew Carlssin from the web site, cre8d-journal, http://www.cre8d-design.com/journal/index.php, an excellent blog. The news account of the story can be found at http://tv.yahoo.com/news/wwn/20030319/104808600007.html.
[The three elements of confession identified here come from Saint Alphonsus Liguori and are mentioned in Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline: A Path to Spiritual Growth.
[Obviously, the story of Richard Foster's experience with confession comes from Celebration of Discipline: A Path to Spiritual Growth.

Each day 8,000 American students drop out of high school. Over the course of a year, that amounts to 3 million total students who give up on the American right to education through 12th grade and decide they will be better off without a high school diploma. Within those numbers are even more telling statistics that show students of color and from low socio-economic brackets are dropping out in much greater numbers than their white middle- and high-class peers.
Strong teaching in America’s urban schools is the key to overcoming dropout and achievement gap issues. With the right guidance, urban K-12 students can rise above their circumstances to be stand-outs in academics. They may even return the favor as teachers themselves one day. For urban teachers to succeed, however, they need more support and encouragement from their industry, government and society as a whole.
What do you think can be done to recruit more inspired educators into urban schools?

I love reading how friends came into their Fandom of Choice, since so many of those stories lead at least indirectly into how we became friends. While my route went through Buffy and (most especially) Angel, our roads all eventually crossed. The fact that Firefly seemed so doomed out of the gate held me back a bit from becoming the fan of it I would have been otherwise, but there was something really special about its take on the genre, and I fell in love with Mal more quickly than almost any television main character.
It was when I heard that they were making a movie that I really became involved in the Whedonverse, especially online which I’d never done before. I have met some of my closest friends through Joss’s shows and it would not be an exaggeration to say that my life has changed as a result of his influence.

I recently had a need for UCS automation to simplify VLAN additions, schedule UCS backups, and provide a reliable source of information to our asset managers so I created the following integration pack to accomplish these tasks.
As always, test before moving this into your production environment. Let me know if there are feature requests, issues, or improvements that could be made. Thanks!
Update 4/19/2018: Added additional details (mgmt IPs) to the blades dictionary for the asset managers, added a new dictionary called blade vNICs to display the vNICs and provide additional information, and updated the commands within the Add VLANs to FI and vNIC templates to ensure that one failed VLAN addition does not affect the entire workflow.
This workflow displays the data from the most recent UCS acquisition including the FI, chassis, blade, and IOM info for each UCS domain. This “workflow” doesn’t perform an action and was created to give our asset managers insight into our UCS infrastructure.
This workflow adds any number of VLANs to the root level of the FIs and the selected vNIC templates.

While it worked I would give it 5 stars... It made great and the battery lasted for a while but it died on the fifth day and would not vape correctly. I had to pull so hard that the juice would just flooded to the coil just to get it to fire for half a second and then die again. I didn't purchase it from here but I did get the coils from here and to those work great.
This only lasted 5 days. While working order it was great.
I cannot believe the short life span of this product!
Worked for about 5 days then just died.
I love this! It's perfect size for on the go! Small package bug punch!
I love this!! It's so tiny and perfect for on the go! It may be small but packs a punch with good vape clouds! Not to mention it's so cute!

The Divine Mother in her manifestation as Sarasvati is the shakti of Brahma. Brahma is known as the Creator in the Hindu Trinity and is parallel to God the Father in the Western Trinity. He is the Divine Lawgiver, the source of all knowledge. Together, Brahma and Sarasvati are the embodiment of cosmic force.
Sarasvati is known as the Goddess of the Word. She is identified with Vac, the Word. She represents eloquence and articulates the wisdom of the Law. She is the Mother-Teacher to those of us who love the Law revealed by Brahma, and she is the power of volition, the will and motivation to be the Law in action. Sarasvati represents the union of power and intelligence from which organized creation arises.
In the book Symbolism in Hinduism, A. Parthasarathy notes that the name Sarasvati literally means “the one who gives the essence of our own Self.” Sarasvati is sometimes represented with four hands, sitting on a lotus. She holds the sacred scriptures in one hand and a lotus in another. With the remaining two hands, she plays the Indian lute (veena).
According to scholar David Frawley, in an esoteric sense Sarasvati “represents the stream of wisdom, the free flow of the knowledge of consciousness.” She is called the Flowing One, the source of creation by the Word.
Sarasvati’s transcendent nature ... is also suggested in her vehicle, the swan. The swan is a symbol of spiritual transcendence and perfection in Hinduism.... Sarasvati, astride her swan, suggests a dimension of human existence that rises above the physical, natural world. Her realm is one of beauty, perfection, and grace; it is a realm created by artistic inspiration, philosophic insight, and accumulated knowledge, which have enabled human beings to so refine their natural world that they have been able to transcend its limitations. Sarasvati astride her swan beckons human beings to continued cultural creation and civilized perfection.... She not only underlies the world and is its creator but is the [very] means to transcend the world.
Sarasvati is associated with speech, poetry, music and culture and is known as the Goddess of Learning and the Patroness of the Arts and Music. She is revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. To Buddhists, she is the consort of Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom. Buddhists appeal to Manjushri for intelligence, wisdom, mastery of the teaching, the power of exposition, eloquence and memory. He works with Lord Maitreya. The two are sometimes depicted in a triad with Gautama Buddha in which Manjushri represents the wisdom aspect and Maitreya the compassion aspect of Buddhist teaching. Like Sarasvati, Manjushri brings the gift of illumination.
In the earliest Hindu texts, the Vedas, Sarasvati is a river goddess. The Vedas say that Sarasvati was the greatest river in India. For years the Sarasvati was believed to have been a myth, but an archaeological survey in 1985 found an ancient riverbed that matched the description of the Sarasvati. It was a great river, four to six miles wide for much of its length. It flowed westward from the Himalayas into the sea. Frawley believes that the Sarasvati was the main site of habitation at the time the Vedas were composed thousands of years ago.
Her sacred “seed syllable,” or bija, is Aim (pronounced ah-eem). A bija mantra encapsulates the essence of a cosmic being, of a principle or a chakra. Sarasvati’s mantra is Om Aim Sarasvatye Namaha.
