A group of high-ranking Catholic Church insiders has blown the whistle on a coup that was orchestrated by Hillary Clinton, George Soros, and then-President Barack Obama to overthrow Pope Benedict and install their own undercover operative – Pope Francis.
The group of Catholic whistleblowers consists of global key figures say they have evidence to expose the conspiracy designed to occupy one of the most influential roles in the world with “one of their own” operatives.
According to the insiders, Pope Francis has been installed to push New World Order policies such as open borders and “global warming” by convincing his army of loyal followers that it’s the “will of God”.
Pope Francis has been an advocate of a single world government and has been a very public critic of Donald Trump‘s decision to withdraw the US from Paris Climate Agreement after branding climate change a “hoax”.
He has also made no secret of his disdain for Trump, yet always shown keen support for the Obama Administration.
The group of whistleblowers has reached out to President Trump directly to expose the plot.In an open letter, they have cited several sources of evidence for the Deep State coup, including Hillary Clinton’s emails that were obtained from John Podesta by WikiLeaks.In the emails, they discuss their plans for a regime change and describe the then-current leadership as “middle age dictatorship”, with a plan they dubbed a “Catholic Spring” revolution in reference to the “Arab Spring” coups that had been previously organized.
Reversing recent collectivist trends will, by necessity, require a reversal of many of the actions taken by the previous administration. Among those actions, we believe that there is one that remains cloaked in secrecy. Specifically, we have reason to believe that a Vatican “regime change” was engineered by the Obama administration.
We were alarmed to discover that, during the third year of the first term of the Obama administration your previous opponent, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and other government officials with whom she associated proposed a Catholic “revolution” in which the final demise of what was left of the Catholic Church in America would be realized.
Approximately a year after this email discussion, which was never intended to be made public, we find that Pope Benedict XVI abdicated under highly unusual circumstances and was replaced by a pope whose apparent mission is to provide a spiritual component to the radical ideological agenda of the international left. The Pontificate of Pope Francis has subsequently called into question its own legitimacy on a multitude of occasions.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, we were astonished to witness Pope Francis actively campaigning against your proposed policies concerning the securing of our borders, and even going so far as to suggest that you are not a Christian. We appreciated your prompt and pointed response to this disgraceful accusation.

Modern ports of CoCo games.
2015/03/20: Added Caladuril Flame of Light (thanks to a comment from Hugo).
2017/01/20: Added Bouncy Ball NG by Lee Patterson.
I previously mentioned that my first home computer was a Commodore VIC-20 in 1982. A year later I would be running a Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer (“CoCo”), expanded to 64K by a local Houston CoCo guru named Don Burr. I stuck with that computer (then a CoCo 2, and finally a CoCo 3) and was still using it as a primary machine until around the end of 1995 when I bought my first modern PC laptop (a Toshiba) so I could use the world wide web.
In recent years, it seems several Color Computer programs have been ported or recreated on other systems. I thought it might be fun to share the list I have so far.
Airball – an Android port of a game made for the Dragon 32/64.
Bedlam, Raakatu, and Pyramid 2000 – these three text adventures were sold on cassette by Radio Shack. Aaron Wolf has ported them to Android in all their green-screen glory.
Bouncy Ball – Now available for iOS (iPhones, iPads) and TVOS (AppleTV) as Bouncy Ball NG.
Caladuril Flame of Light – This Diecom/Oblique Triad graphical adventure game was ported to the Palm Pilot PDAs.
Donut Delima – Nick Marentes’ platform game for the CoCo 1/2 has been ported to the Maximite retro gaming system.
Doubleback – this 1982 ROM Pak game was sold by Radio Shack, and it’s original author, Dale Lear, has just released an iOS version for iPhone and iPad.
Module Man – this 1984 platform game by Spectral Associates was released for the European CoCo clone, the Dragon (and the CoCo too?). You can see a video on YouTube of the original. It was ported to the ColecoVision!
Know of any others? Let me know and I will keep updating this page.
This entry was posted in CoCo on February 21, 2014 by Allen Huffman.
Thanks, Hugo. I will check that out and updatre the list.
Found this link, where you can still download the B&W version for Palm III. But who owns a Palm Pilot anymore (or wants to install a Palm OS emulator, for what it’s worth)? I think it’s more convenient playing Caladuril in VCC!!!

I'm starting to make plans for the two ginormous road trips of the summer, and boy oh boy do I have a lot of work to do.
Angus the dog is doing well. Still working on his major separation anxiety, but I think he's improved some. He and I have also had some serious discussions about how chasing cats and chickens is simply not acceptable. I think he'll grasp the concept and hopefully he and I won't have to have that discussion too many more times. I tell ya, sometimes it's like someone flips the switch and mister calm lazy dog is off like a rocket. Who knows what lurks in his past. I have to say I'm kind of enjoying walking him. 2 miles a day, it feels good. I wave at everyone who drives past. Most of them wave, but a few give me weird looks. I mean, this is the country, nobody walks dogs in the country. (I'm serious.) But, the looks are less weird than when I take my horse for a walk!
I did finish my scrim pendant portrait of Olin (finally!). I'll try to post that tomorrow, and hopefully get back to regularly scheduled blogging pretty soon.
Taxes, oh, fun. Every year we say we will keep all the slips in various envelopes, to make it easier next year. Hasn't happened so far.
I think Angus is so gorgeous! Yes, who knows what lurks in a dog's mind? I really think they are as devious as a cat, just not as fickle.
I am with Dougzilla, at least you are not walking a dodo or something like an elephant! -BMc.

We are a vegan family of four with ducks, a pony and a Dalmatian. We're a year into planting our 6.5 acre, organic, permaculture farm and are looking to host an individual or couple in our home overlooking the stunning Kapiti Coast.
We have an incredible vista of the Kapiti coast with easy access to the coast, the hills and trains to the Capital. We're vegans starting a permaculture farm with a wide range of life experience with expertise in film, gardening and animal training.
Looking for an extra pair of hands to muck in around our property to help us keep on top of the place. Lots of gardening, tree planting & mulching. Fencing, some building if you're keen. General assistance inside and outside the home.
We're offering a private room in our brand new barn style house. Shared family ammenities: bathroom, shower, laundry, kitchen (vegans preferred please).
Waikanae is a small suburb on the Kapiti Coast North of Wellington. We're close to the train, beach and Tararua Forest Park.
Alice and Felix were a pleasure to host. They went above and beyond for us, adding value to the property and helping us move forward with our many projects. And they were great company. All the very best!
We had a great time with Jordan. He instantly assimilated into our family and lifestyle, worked tirelessly and never stopped smiling!
I spent one week with Lynore and her beautiful family. The property is wonderful with a view on Kapiti Island. The work was easy and Lynore adapts the job according your capacities. Besides, she is really good cooker and her husband Greg is full of advice. Thanks for all!
Marie and Martin are a fantastic, vibrant and intelligent couple that worked hard during their stay with us. Warm and thoughtful, they were as caring with the land as they were with our children. Good sorts and great value! Thank you for all your hard work!
I stayed with Greg and Lynore for 2 weeks. The work ranged from planting trees, mulching, weeding, cleaning to looking after their 2 great kids. Lynore cooked with fresh and organic ingredients and the food was really delicious. We also cooked together and I learnt how to make sushi.
Lynore took me to Peka Peka Beach and Waikanae Beach and to the… read more Saturday markets in Waikanae and Paraparaumu. She picked me up from the train station, gave me rides to Paraparaumu and dropped me off at the station when I left. The property is beautiful and you have a stunning view of Kapiti Island and the ocean.
I had a great first workaway experience.

Wish I could help you on that question, Retta, but it sounds like a question Dennis will have to answer.
I did take out my watercolor pencils and drew a block with crimson and one with carmine. The crimson was more of a red brick color and the carmine looked more pinkish. But I am sure that with the Alizarin added, the crimson would be different.
Carmine is made from the cochineal insect. I've seen it mentioned as Crimson Lake, so I presume it will still give a very nice cosmos colour as well as in the fuschias . I've personally not tried it.
Thank you....I wasn't sure, but am short on A C and it's the only other "good" paint that I have.
Rhetta I have Carmine on my palette-I don't remember if I used it. I dutifully marked all my color names on my palette with a sharpie, but it didn't hold so I just dab a little of this and that until I get what I want.
It seems to be at least a two shades lighter in value than Alizarin. Maybe save your Alizarin for your darkest red areas on the fuschias? The hue looks the same to me-just a lighter value.
Whew! That was a tricky painting. I had a hard time with the dark shadow areas. I just couldn't get them dark enough. The camera wasn't any help either with washing out a lot of the color (without flash).
I painted this on a stretched canvas that I pretreated with watercolor ground. I'm going to spray a fixative on it very lightly and then use several coats to seal it. It is in an open-back frame. It was fun doing it this way also.
Okay, let me get to the rose. I hope this looks like a passing grade LOL!!
Nice work. Love the shine on the buds.
Maybe tone down the white edging around the petals - seems to be more and brighter than the reference.
Definitely a passing grade if I were the teacher - like in the A range. Mine was more of a B.
Good job Carol. The leaves and buds are excellent. I think the flower petals just lost some of their definition. Must be all that 'loose' painting we've been playing at! Perhaps going over the petals with a damp brush to lift out a few lighter areas? Well done regardless.
It's an excellent painting Carol. I'm impressed you did it on canvas with the ground.
I wonder if your darks are brighter since you did paint this on an open canvas rather than on a sheet of paper. Maybe more light bounces back through the transparent watercolors?
Natalie...You may be right..perhaps I'll do it again on paper and get rid of the ballet dresses...gotta a kick out of that!
Well, at long last I managed to finish my Fuschias. Comments and critiques are always welcomed. Thank you.
Beautiful job, Patricia! You should be very proud of this.

As far as I'm concerned, Vitamin C is the ultimate weapon in the war against wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. Vitamin C promotes collagen synthesis, provides protection from UV rays, lightens dark spots, and fights inflammation (including our very favorite form of inflammation - acne). You might be curious as to how Vitamin C accomplishes these hefty tasks. I know I was. (If chemistry makes you nauseous, feel free to skip to the end of this post.) Vitamin C plays multiple, critical roles in the synthesis of collagen - first, it aids in forming the polypeptide chains that make up collagen's precursor, procollagen, and second, it acts as a cofactor (a molecule that assists in biochemical transformations) for the enzymes responsible for converting procollagen to collagen. This means that Vitamin C is necessary every step of the way in collagen formation. More collagen means stronger, firmer, more youthful skin.
Vitamin C is also a potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals. Free radicals are molecules with unpaired electrons just looking to cause trouble (i.e. cellular damage). Luckily, Vitamin C is an electron donor that is more than happy to pair up with wayward free radicals. Fewer free radicals mean fewer fines lines and wrinkles.
Vitamin C's antioxidant activity also helps to reduce acne by preventing the oxidation of sebum. Oxidative damage lowers the oxygen content in sebum, which allows acne bacteria to thrive (acne bacteria love oxygen depleted environments).
Last, but certainly not least, Vitamin C lightens surface pigmentation caused by UV damage. UV damage causes melanin to pool in the upper layers of skin and Vitamin C has the remarkable ability to decrease melanin content. This lightening effect promotes a more even, luminous tone. Even skin tone is a hallmark of youth! But the key to reaping these benefits is not to eat more oranges; the key is topical application of Vitamin C. Topical Vitamin C is 20 times more effective than oral ingestion. (Vitamin C is water-soluble so most of what we consume is excreted through our urine.) But choose your topical preparations wisely – the gold standard, l-ascorbic acid, is quickly oxidized so packaging that reduces exposure to air is really, really important.
I recommend applying your Vitamin C serum in the morning, under your moisturizer and sunscreen.

Antarctica is at risk from human activities and other forces, and environmental management is needed to protect the planet’s last great wilderness area, says an international team of researchers, including a Texas A&M University oceanographer, in a paper published in the current issue of Science magazine.
Mahlon “Chuck” Kennicutt II, professor of oceanography who has conducted research in the area for more than 25 years, says Antarctica faces growing threats from global warming, loss of sea ice and landed ice, increased tourism, over-fishing in the region, pollution and invasive species creeping into the area. One of the longer-term concerns that may present the greatest threat overall is the potential for oil, gas and mineral exploitation on the continent and in the surrounding ocean, the authors note.
Kennicutt says the Antarctic Treaty System that governs the continent has worked well since it was established in 1962 and that 50 countries currently adhere to the treaty, but it is under pressure today from global climate changes and the ever-present interest in the area’s natural resources, from fish to krill to oil to gas to minerals.
In addition to conducting research in the area, Kennicutt is also president of the Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research (SCAR), formed in 1958 to coordinate international research in the region.
More than twice the size of the United States, Antarctica has no cities, no government and no permanent residents. All who go to Antarctica are short-time visitors, whether they are scientists, personnel that support scientists or tourists. Antarctica is the coldest, driest and windiest location on Earth and is the only continent with no time zones.
“The Antarctic Treaty has worked well for the past 50 years, but we need to rethink how best to protect the continent from a range of growing of threats,” Kennicutt adds.
“The treaty forbids oil or gas development, but it’s possible that could be challenged in the years to come. Until now, energy companies have shown little interest in exploring the southern reaches of our planet because of the harsh conditions, the distance to market and the lack of technologies make it a very expensive commercial proposition.
Another problem – melting ice from several areas of Antarctica – is a very real concern today, Kennicutt adds.
“A report in the news last week shows that sea-level rise on the east coast of the U.S. is occurring much faster than predicted,” he notes.
He adds that the first explorers to Antarctica more than 100 years ago would be surprised to see how things have changed in the region.
For instance, it has been proven there are more than 300 sub-glacial lakes in Antarctica, some of them as big as the Great Lakes, and the huge ice sheets in the area flow like rivers to the ocean. He adds that growing tourism in the area and numerous scientific expeditions suggest that the prospect of permanent human settlements is not out of the question.
“All of these concerns pose serious challenges to conservation and protection efforts in Antarctica,” Kennicutt notes.

Technical Commissions (TCs) are hosted by Ordinary Members. Members wishing to host a TC should submit an application to ISPRS according to the instructions given in this section. Council will welcome applications from two members to jointly host a TC, or for separate hosting of TCs, but joint organisation of Symposia. Members making an application must be fully conversant with the responsibilities of hosting a TC and of the responsibilities and the duties of the Technical Commission President (TCP) and the Vice-President of the Commission (Vice-TCP) as set out below.
The responsibilities and the main tasks of a Technical Commission are defined in Statute XIII and Bylaw XIII of ISPRS.
The member organisation will have complete financial responsibility for all expenses incurred by the work of the Commission. When submitting an application to ISPRS for hosting a Commission, the member must demonstrate that the necessary resources are available.
Technical Commissions are expected to host a Symposium between Congresses.
The TCP and the Vice-TCP should be able to spend considerable time on Commission work, especially during the months prior to the Symposium and the next Congress. TCP and Vice-TCP agree on how the work load is to be shared. The overall responsibility for running the TC rests with the TCP.
It is essential that the Commission be provided with English speaking secretarial assistance. About 30% of the secretary's time will be needed for Commission affairs. The tasks of the Commission Secretary should be undertaken by a person who can work in close cooperation with the TCP.
The TCPs and the Vice-TCP must be free to undertake international travel. Once of them is expected to attend annual joint meetings (JM) with the ISPRS Council between Congresses. They will also be expected to attend a planning meeting of one or two days immediately after the Congress and all applicants must plan their travel schedules to allow for this possibility. In addition, it may be necessary to hold Commission Board meetings with Working Group officers. All travel expenses of the TCPs and Vice-TCPs must be financed by the host member(s).
The host member(s) will be required to sign a contract with ISPRS. This will set out the responsibilities of both parties. A model contract is provided in appendix 1.
Before the General Assembly of ISPRS decides to allocate a Commission to an Ordinary Member, the proposed TCP shall present to the General Assembly the details of the proposal as set out above.
the programme of Commission activities proposed by the Ordinary Member(s) and in particular the Working Groups, their officers and the events contemplated.
Council will review the applications for hosting a Technical Commission and may interview applicants in person or by telephone conference prior to the Congress, in order to clarify aspects of the proposal and to ensure that their proposals meet the expectations.
Elected TCPs will be required to attend a joint meeting with Council immediately after the Congress. Applicants will be notified of the dates of that meeting before the Congress.
Technical Commissions are required to hold a Symposium between Congresses (see appendix 1). TCPs are encouraged to consider joint Symposia with other TCs and to consider whether the Symposia can be organised together with a regional event.
The subject matter is to be related to the field of the Commission(s).
A technical exhibit may be arranged, preferably within the scope of the Commission.
The financing of the Symposium is the sole responsibility of the Ordinary Member hosting the TC. Registration fees may be charged as appropriate. An ISPRS surcharge equivalent to 10% of all paid Symposium registrations will be imposed to contribute to the costs of running the Society and improving ISPRS activities.
The schedule of all Symposia is approved by Council at the post Congress Joint Meeting. Council requires a draft programme for Symposia and major workshops to be presented and approved at that Joint Meeting which will be held in the autumn of the Congress year.
Each commission shall publish the scientific and technical contributions submitted to the Symposium. Both a review process based on submitted abstracts and a full-paper double-blind review process are to be offered to the authors. Abstract reviewed proceedings shall be published in The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences,contributions accepted after full-paper double-blind review shall be published in theISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences. Instructions for publication are given in appendix 4.
ISPRS Council has signed a contract with the publisher Copernicus GmbH. The contract covers the publication of camera-ready pdf-files of all papers on the ISPRS web page. These papers need to be formatted according to the ISPRS Guidelines for Authors (see appendix 5); TCPs are responsible that the guidelines are followed.
This contract is binding for all organisers of ISPRS events, including Congress, Symposia and the Geospatial Week, to ensure consistent publication of ISPRS proceedings. A separate agreement must be established between organisers of each ISPRS event and Copernicus GmbH.
Once elected, TCPs are responsible for the preparation, planning, management and reporting of the Commission's work for the following four years. Much of this work is carried out through Working Groups (WGs).
Each WG may have a 'Chair', one or two 'Co-Chair(s)' and a 'Secretary'; these are the WG officers. Preparation for selection of WG officers and the determination of Terms of Reference (ToR) must commence at the Congress at which the TCs have been elected, taking into consideration the Resolutions approved at the Congress for the Commission, and preferably in consultation with the outgoing TCPs. The selection of WG officers and WG ToR must be finalised for presentation and approval by Council at the JM of TCPs and Council in autumn following the Congress.
All candidates for WG Chairs and Co-Chairs must sign a letter (see end of this section) accepting these guidelines as conditions of appointment by Council for a period of four years.
TCs should take advantage of the inter-disciplinary nature of ISPRS scientific activities and the resulting opportunities for enhancing the activities of their Commission by encouraging their WGs to include researchers from related inter-disciplinary areas. Inter-disciplinary keynote papers and/or sessions should also be included in Commission Symposia. TCs should also encourage joint activities with other WGs and with other cognate organisations.
WGs will be numbered according to their Commission in Roman numerals, followed by the WG number in Arabic numbers. For example, WG II/6 refers to Working Group 6 in Commission II.
Intercommission (IC) WGs may be approved if considered useful by Council; in this case the responsibility for the management of the ICWG must be taken by a nominating TC. the number of this TC will come first, e.g. the responsibility of IC WG IV/I is with TC I.
In the process of approving the plans for the WGs, Council will take into consideration the overall structure of the WGs, their ToR and the selection of WG officers according to the above requirements. The proposed WGs, modified where appropriate, will normally receive Council endorsement at the JM following the Congress.
TCs shall review and evaluate the activity of each WG and report to the Council annually. TCs may replace, in consultation with the Council, any WG officer who has not been active and who has not contributed to the work of the Commission. TCs may also reorganise the WGs in consultation with Council.
The ISPRS Geospatial Week (GSW) is a combination of workshops organised by various ISPRS Working Groups and possibly other parties active in areas of interest of ISPRS. It is convened by a local organisation, led by the GSW Director, at a common location. The GSW is held biennially in odd years, preferably in the September/October timeframe; for more details see Appendix 10.
TCs are expected to contribute to the programme of the GSW but helping to attract scientific papers and by encouraging their WGs to organise workshops as part of the GSW.
TCPs must attend the annual JM of the Technical Commissions and the Council to report on Commission activities and problems that may arise in the operation of the WGs, and to coordinate plans for the Symposia and the Congress. If necessary, the Vice-TCP can attend the meeting in place of the TCP.
TCs must report on the implementation of the Resolutions of their Commission at the JM held in the year of the Symposia.
TCs are required to contribute to the Biennial Report (see appendix 6), and are to ensure that summary reports of their Commission and WG events are submitted promptly for publication in ISPRS eBulletin.
The proceedings of the Symposia must be published as a Volume of The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences (for submissions accepted based on abstracts) and/or the ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences (for submissions based on full-paper double-blind review), see also appendices 4 and 5.
The TCP and Vice-TCP are expected to seek high quality scientific papers suitable for publication in the ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing and the ISPRS International Journal for Geo-Information at their Symposia and WG meetings, and provide, in consultation with the journal Editor-in-Chief, papers for at least one theme issue on topics related to their Commission during the four year period of their tenure.
TC and WG officers are expected to collaborate with the journal editors in publicising the journals at Symposia and workshops and to assist the participation of the editor in these meetings.
The TC and WG officers are expected to submit news items for publication in the ISPRS eBulletin to the Secretary General, who edits the ISPRS eBulletin. TCPs are entitled to place up to five free advertisements of their Symposium in the ISPRS eBulletin.
TCs are required to develop and maintain their own home pages, see appendix 7 for details. The provision of links between Commission, potential WG home pages and the ISPRS Home Page, and vice versa, must be coordinated with the ISPRS Web Master.
The ISPRS presents major awards at each Congress, including Young Author Awards for authors of papers at the Congress who are younger than 35 years of age, the Best Poster Award and The President's Honorary Citation to WG officers for outstanding performance during the four year period.
TCPs are required to assess papers submitted for the Young Authors Awards, to select best posters per Commission based on presentations during the Congress and to nominate candidates for The President’s Honorary Citation, for details see the ISPRS web page.
TCs are responsible, in cooperation with the First Vice President, for the compilation of scientific and technical resolutions that are presented to the General Assembly at the Congress for approval. The TC shall organise a Commission Resolutions Committee in cooperation with WG officers and prepare draft scientific and technologic Resolutions for consideration at the last JM before the Congress. TCs shall submit a final draft of Resolutions to the First Vice President in due time for review by the ISPRS International Scientific Advisory Committee (ISAC) prior to the Congress. The format and schedule for the preparation of the resolutions are outlined in appendix 8.
TCPs are to keep the Secretary General promptly informed of all address changes of officers in their Commission and its WGs.
ISPRS Council and Honorary Members, the Chairperson of the Financial Commission and the editors of the ISPRS Journals are entitled to register at TC Symposia and WG meetings free of charge. It is expected that free accommodation will be provided to Council during the TC Symposium.
One of the TCs is expected to invite Council and TCPs to convene a Joint Meeting in conjunction with its Symposium. These meetings are normally scheduled for the last Symposium in the year and last for three to four days. Reports on Symposia, assessment of the performance of the Commissions and planning for the forthcoming Congress are important items of consideration at that JM.
TCs are responsible for ensuring conformance by WG officers to the "Guidelines for Conducting a Working Group", see below.
The TC II President, or a Council designee, will be an ex-officio member of the CIPA Committee, and as such will be required to attend the biannual meetings of the CIPA Committee.
organisation of WG workshops including management of abstracts and papers according to the contractual arrangements made with Copernicus GmbH, if possible in conjunction with one of the two Geospatial Weeks being organised in the odd years of the inter-congress period.
All candidates for the WG positions of Chair and Co-Chair are requested to sign this Commissioning Form prior to their appointment by the Council. By signing this form, candidates demonstrate that they are aware of the responsibilities and tasks of the office, as detailed in the Manual of Operation for ISPRS Technical Commissions and Working Groups, and are willing to undertake these responsibilities and tasks to the best of their ability.
I have informed myself of the responsibilities and tasks of ISPRS WG Chairs and Co-Chairs as detailed in the ‘Manual of Operation for ISPRS Technical Commissions and Working Groups’ and hereby agree to serve in the above WG position.
I attach my biographical details , incl. name, full postal address, phone number, fax, e-mail, nationality, education, professional positions held and a brief summary of work undertaken in the area of the WG. A more complete CV may also be attached.

85% of the Australians believe that immigrants are good for economy according to the report published by the Monash University. The findings of the report reveal that citizens of Australia consider multiculturalism to be good for the nation.
The report studied attitude of Australian on diverse topics. These include political trust, discrimination, multiculturalism, immigration, and others. It has been published by the Scanlon Foundation titled ‘11th Mapping Social Cohesion Report’. This highlights the key indicators of social cohesion and acceptance of cultural diversity, as quoted by the Tribune India.
The findings elaborate that only some want a decrease in immigration. Majority of the people indicate at the existing intake is either adequate or too low. 64% of the participants concur that immigrants should alter their behaviour for becoming more like them.
Out of every 10 Australians, 8 agree that immigrants better their society by bringing new cultures and ideas.
Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs Minister David Coleman said that Australia has a proud immigration history. What is important is the contribution made by the immigrants and not their nation of origin, he added.
The Minister explained that one more factor for our success is the dedication of new citizens for our shared values. These are equal opportunity, rule of law, freedom, and democracy. This is irrespective of the religion, race, gender or cultural background, said Coleman.
David Coleman said that the government continues to develop the success of multiculturalism. This is by focusing on an immigration system based on skills to cater to the needs of the economy of Australia, he added.
74% of Australians agree that people of diverse nationalities in their local area get along well together. This is in line with the findings of the last year’s report.

The man is not being identified at this time. He is being guarded by troopers at George Washington Hospital, where he is undergoing treatment currently. Charges against him are pending.
At 2:00 p.m. today, Virginia State Police received a 9-1-1 call from a motorist, reporting a man who was getting ready to jump off of the southbound side of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. Maryland State Police from the Forestville Barrack were immediately dispatched to the location.
Upon their arrival, the man had already jumped over the bridge. Shortly after he jumped into the Potomac River, emergency responders from the Metropolitan Police Department’s D.C. Harbor Patrol rescued him. He was transported to the hospital by an Alexandria Medic Unit ambulance.
The preliminary investigation indicates the man was driving a tan 2016 Toyota Corolla around 2:00 p.m. today on the inner loop of I-495 in Prince George’s County. When he arrived at the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, he pulled over about one half of a mile onto the bridge and parked his car on the right shoulder.
Witnesses tell police he made mention of having a bomb inside his vehicle as he approached the edge of the bridge. Police believe he also called 9-1-1 prior to jumping, stating he had a bomb in his vehicle.
Lanes on both sides of the bridge were shut down for about ninety minutes, while personnel from the Prince George’s County Fire Department’s Explosive Ordinance Disposal searched for the presence of any hazardous explosive devices. Once the area was rendered safe, lanes were reopened for traffic.
Personnel from the Virginia State Police and U.S. Park Police responded to the scene for assistance. Maryland Department of Transportation personnel also responded to assist with lane closures.

We’ve all heard the naysayers complaining about the lack of affordable housing options in Austin. However, in a new report, Redfin has found some interesting information on our city’s neighborhoods that may surprise you.
The real estate brokerage firm found that only 14 percent of the country’s neighborhoods hit homebuyers’ top three demands — affordability, walkability, and highly ranked schools — and four of those ‘hoods are in Austin.
To determine the findings, Redfin ranked 170 balanced-mix and affordable neighborhoods by their walkability and schools scores and found that only 24 neighborhoods in the entire U.S. actually meet those common demands. In the top 10 is our own Rosedale neighborhood, ranked No. 6 nationally.
According to Redfin, this analysis confirms the old real estate strategy of buying the cheapest house on the best block. For homebuyers looking for those three key factors (affordability, highly rated schools, and walkability), Redfin suggests looking for the least expensive home in a neighborhood that has a mix of affordable and high-end homes. These types of mixed neighborhoods are three times more likely to be walkable and near highly rated schools than affordable communities.
Three other Austin neighborhoods meet the desirable standards, including Zilker (No. 12), Bouldin Creek (No. 20), and Highland (No. 22). All four of the Austin neighborhoods analyzed in the report are relatively close to downtown; have great parks, shops, and other businesses residents can easily access by walking; and have strong schools nearby.
This common trend in Austin of desiring city living without compromising quality of life is also taking hold across the U.S.
"The taste of the American family is shifting from sprawling far out McMansions to close in homes near urban amenities," says Redfin chief economist Nela Richardson. "Add affordable prices and highly ranked schools and you get homes every family wants but few can find. The upshot of our latest report is that these gems can be found in neighborhoods with a mix of housing types, where families across the income spectrum can live, work, and play together."
Houston is the only other Texas city that has a neighborhood on the Redfin list: The Westmoreland/Montrose area ranks nationally at No. 13. And at No. 1, University District in Seattle is the top neighborhood with its availability of affordable homes, high walk scores, and great schools rating.

The table shows all new moon dates from the year 2000 up to the year 2100 with the lengths of the lunations. Moreover, the lengths of the lunar years (LY) are always given by 12 lunations and the sum of the lunations of all the new moons in a solar year (SY). In the latter there are also 13 new moons per solar year.
The Lunation "0" begins after the 1. January 2000 11:58:55.816 (JD 2451545.0) with the current standard epoch J2000.0.
The new moon of Lunation 0 took place on 6. January 2000 18:14 UTC0.
Date & Time is in UTC/GMT.
Difference is to a mean synodic lunation (new moon cycle). The Difference in a row mean the difference from the new moon date in the same row to the new moon date in the next row.
LY Count to mean lunar-year count. Is for always 12 lunation.
SY Count to mean sun-year count. All differences of the new moon lunations per sun year are added. Among them there are 12 and 13 new moons per year.
Sum is the sum of the differences of a time period.
Green cell background-color to mean the longest lunations or sum of lunations in the respective time period. In the Difference column, this applies in a lunisolar-calender year.
Magenta cell backround-color to mean the shortest lunations or sum of lunations in the respective time period. In the Difference column, this applies in a lunisolar-calender year.

The “Science of Theoretical Minimums” (STM) might sound dry and academic, but lurking within is a proven path to dramatic inventory reductions, supply chain optimization and an accelerated, responsive, efficient supply chain… one that could be the envy of your industry.
What is the Science of Theoretical Minimums?
You have a complex supply chain consisting of many nodes and inventory sites, volatile demand and a lot of variability in supply. Getting just the right amount of the right inventory to the right place at the right time is a huge challenge.
How do you know where to focus your efforts? How do you cut through the myriad of factors where you could waste time and isolate where you should be spending your efforts to optimize your supply chain for maximum return?
What Happens When You Put on “STM Glasses”?
Imagine putting on a pair of Polaroid glasses that filter out the scattered light that causes blurriness and fuzzy, visual noise. The scene comes into sharp focus, in high contrast brilliant color.
Similarly, when you look at your supply chain through the STM “lens,” your supply chain jumps into “value focus.” Hot spots of big value leaks burn red and demand your attention, while optimized areas fade into the background.
Okay, that’s overstating it a bit, and it’s only a metaphor. The bottom line is that STM is essentially a tool for finding and quantifying the “value leaks” in your supply chain. It brings your supply chain into focus, highlights the bleeding gashes costing you money, while filtering out the insignificant pinpricks and droplets.
STM identifies and quantifies the value leaks so you know exactly how much it is costing you, and you can prioritize and address them based on their impact.
Instead of struggling and wasting time optimizing nodes and networks that bring little value, you can go for the big wins and see dramatic results quickly.
And that I think is the big takeaway.
Once you know where the leaks are, and how much money is being drained from your business (thanks to STM), the motivation follows to fix them quickly.
The researchers who developed the “Science of Theoretical Minimums” and applied it to real world companies will be discussing it in an upcoming webinar, Intro to Science of Theoretical Minimums – Finding value leaks in your supply chain, where you can learn exactly what it is, what it can do, and the technology that enables you to run your supply chain based on the principles of STM.

I am so very excited for this utterly adorable movie’s release! The STAR Movie tells the story of Jesus’ birth from the animals point of view. AFFIRM Films, along with Sony Pictures, have truly outdone themselves with this wonderful children’s movie.
The STAR Movie was made available on DVD & Blu-Ray on February 20, 2018. Digital release was a few days earlier on February 6, 2018. It is definitely one movie you are not going to want to miss.
The voices behind the movie are some of the BEST: Steven Yeun of “The Walking Dead”, Aidy Bryant from “Saturday Night Live”, Tracy Morgan of “30 Rock”, Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey, just to name a few. Songs by Mariah Carey, Fifth Harmony and Kelsea Ballerini, among others. This movie has brought together some of the greatest artists of our time.
The story, as I mentioned above, tells of the Birth of Christ from the point of view of the animals. The main character is Bo the Donkey. Bo is small, but brave. He wishes for a life outside of where he’s at: he wants to be special. He finds his courage, breaks free and ends up on the adventure of a lifetime.
On his journey, he meets the adorable and lovable sheep, Ruth, who has lost her flock. He also meets Dave, a dove who aspires to be more. Three wise-cracking camels also cross his path as he follows the Star and becomes the heroes of the greatest story that’s ever been told!
The STAR Movie also includes an hour of wonderful bonus materials, including the “Star-aoke: Sing Along with Bo & Friends”. I don’t know about you but we LOVE sing-alongs at our house. For us, this is one of the best bonuses to have.
There’s also a dance along, a variety of lyric videos that will get your family singing out loud, crafts and baking ideas complete with “how-to” videos. Go behind the scenes and meet the cast. See who played who and how they made the magic happen.
But honestly, the BEST bonus is the amazing Live Guided “Faith All Year Round” Bible Study from Devon Franklin. This study is interactive. Devon really makes learning about the Bible fun and helps bring the Spirit to Life for children. You’re going to love this addition to this already outstanding movie!
The STAR Movie is rated PG and is approximately 86 minutes long. It’s available for purchase for around $17.99 online or in stores. This is one movie you’re going to LOVE!
As a Mom of girls, Once Upon A Time is a familiar phrase in our house. I know growing up, any book I read that started with Once Upon A Time was sure to become a favorite of mine quickly, from Cinderella to Beauty and the Beast. Fairytales are still a favorite of mine and my girls have followed in my footsteps as well.
The Once Upon A Time Holy Bible and the Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible from Zonderkidz, a division of Zondervan, were designed to capture the interest of Fairytale lovers. Only these Fairytales are real and Biblical based for adults and children to enjoy together. The Bible is no Fairytale. Every book within was written Once Upon A Time to tell the story of God’s Love for us.
The Once Upon A Time Holy Bible is simply gorgeous. The cover and images within were designed by Omar Aranda. They are absolutely beautiful. The cover features Once Upon A Time in shiny gold lettering. There is a tree featured as well with beautiful, shimmering glittered green leaves. This special touch gives this Bible the look Fairytales are made of.
Inside there is a dedication page for the person receiving the Bible. There are many illustrated pages as well, featuring verses of the Bible to share the stories within. Each verse is written in storybook form so as to tell the story behind the verse and draw the reader in to want to learn more.
The Once Upon A Time Holy Bible is a complete New International Reader’s Version Holy Bible. The full word of the Bible is included within. Located in the back of the Bible are a dictionary and a list of 92 Great Bible Stories for you to read.
Along with the Once Upon A Time Holy Bible, we were also sent the Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible. This book is a hardback storybook, sharing 33 stories from different parts of the New and Old Testaments. Though the color is not quite as sparkly as the Once Upon A Time Bible, the Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible features gorgeous artwork within created by Omar Aranda as well.
The Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible tells stories of the Bible taken from various verses. At the end of each story is a Happily Ever After featured section which shares a Bible Verse to look up, as well as a small prayer to say and discuss with your child. What a great way to encourage prayer with your little one!
We truly love our Once Upon A Time Holy Bible and our Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible. I chose to give these to Laycie as she’s the right age for them at 9 and she’s been asking for a new Bible. She has greatly enjoyed looking over the images inside with me and discussing the stories for each.
You can purchase your own Once Upon A Time Holy Bible where fine books are sold for $24.99 US. You can purchase your own Once Upon A Time Storybook Bible at Sam’s Club or wherever fine books are sold for $16.99 US.

Let’s face it. We’ve all dealt with shame at some point in our lives. Shame of a hurtful past, of an addiction, of career failure, parenting challenges: the list could go on and on. Having dealt with shame, most of us have wondered how to overcome and let go of the hurt, pain and well depressive qualities it often brings on.
In Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame, Heather Davis Nelson helps challenge us to learn how to deal with this traumatic emotion. Unashamed is a devotional that reaches out to the reader to help them relate and realize that we are all equal in our emotion of shame and that we can all overcome this emotion to become happier and stronger individuals in time no matter what your shame is.
Unashamed is a 192 page paperback devotional published by Crossway. It contains an Introduction, 9 chapters, a Conclusion, two Appendixes, a general and a scriptural index as well. Each chapter begins with a quote or a scriptural reference relating to the chapter itself. Each chapter then breaks down into subtitles discussing different levels of shame and how to heal them. The chapters end with a reflection and discussion that can be used as a journal entry if you’re completing the study alone, as a point of discussion if you’re working through this book with your spouse, or a reflection and discussion if you are working through this book with your book club or church group.
Unashamed gets you thinking and helps you to heal your emotional wounds. It’s a wonderfully written book that could be used in many ways and should be recommended for every one to read. You can purchase Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame by Heather Davis Nelson online at Amazon or in your local bookstore.

In concrete-clad tunnels deep within the earth, radioactive matter is being buried on a daily basis. The potential of this matter to create catastrophic disaster will continue deep into the future, into a period of time we can barely perceive of, yet alone imagine. Troubling over signs, objects and markers that endure from the past, the group exhibition ‘Riddle of the Burial Grounds’ stares unblinkingly into this future, to a landscape littered with industrial ruin and excavated caverns – objects and messages that will outlast us, and a future counted in the devastating, radioactive reality of half-lives.
We are living in a time when taking responsibility for the future has become the resounding imperative of our age. But what does ‘long–term’ really mean? What is human time when set against geological time, or cosmic time? What is it to think into a future so far beyond our lifetimes that the very idea of an inhabiting population of this planet is but speculation; where language would bear no resemblance to anything spoken today, and where the concrete remains of this epoch would be ruinous imprints at best?
‘Riddle of the Burial Grounds’ brings together artworks that measure themselves against geological and human time. They are artworks that give speculative forms and images to periods, epochs and eras: vast, unknowable expanses of time that help us to look outside of ourselves and the worlds we inhabit and, in so doing, attempt to stretch the possibilities of human imagination. Artists have situated works in or around various unique subjects: man-made ruins and extraordinary natural phenomena; excavated sites and empty-bellied mines; language and its limits; burial, ritual, forecasting, futures and radioactivity; raw material, the language of forms, wastelands and wildernesses.

This is the week of the year where I usually post the Hutchins Christmas letter, but I didn’t actually write one this year. In fact, I haven’t written much of anything since May. One reason is that it’s a lot of work managing employees who are administering the programs for my books. We launched three this year: Hell to Pay, Fighting for Anna, and Act One. The second reason is that I have been producing online courses for the SkipJack Publishing school for authors; that knocks out time I didn’t have. The third is that buying a house in Snowheresville, WY and a couple of enormous horses were a time-consuming and highly enjoyable distraction. The fourth is that I’ve had a run of writers block and thus wrote anything and everything except new material. The fifth is that we hosted a paleo Thanksgiving for fifteen people, six dogs, and two cats. The sixth is that I traveled multiple times with Eric and he with me on our respective work trips.
The seventh is the big one. I’ve been sick. Sick in a way that started when I had my hysterectomy and horrible reaction to anesthesia in 2015 and worsened considerably in August of 2016. I’ve written about it before, so if you care, you can read it there. I don’t want to repeat it. No one was able to diagnose why the hysterectomy affected me so horribly. Lots of theories were knocked about. Thyroid imbalance. A stroke. Unexplainable reaction to the anesthesia. Nothing was confirmed and I tried lots of natural remedies (for memory), but it’s been affecting me all this time, so much so that I doubted my ability to ever write again. I have terrible short term memory. That’s not true. I have terrible memory altogether. Since my anesthesia reaction, I didn’t think I could knock out 300+ pages and hold the threads of story and characterization together. Truth be told, it was much, much harder on these last three books. But it wasn’t insurmountable. It just took more time and more help (especially encouragement and understanding) from Eric. I found it much less taxing and scary to hike, ride, and cook: things requiring less focus through my fog.
Beginning in August, I noticed that my memory issues, lack of motivation, and inflammation/pain (and some other symptoms I don’t feel comfortable writing about here) were joined by a crippling anxiety and complete lack of emotional bandwidth. Since then, there have been whole weeks I didn’t write for no other reason than my inability to deal with the anxiety. Racing heartbeat. Endless loop thought patterns. Paranoia and irrational thought. I wracked my brain for what had changed. I started experimenting with ways to fix myself and finally locked in on changing my multivitamin. I also backed off on my thyroid meds, which increased my all-over body pain. The anxiety eased. I accidentally took the multi-vitamin again. My anxiety sky-rocketed. I got off them. A week later I was feeling a little better, although I realized that over a few months my immune system had gone to heck, and, come to think of it, my allergies were worse.
I went to my doctor’s office. I’m a big believer in integrative, natural medicine (as is my physician father). I’ve written about my past successes with it HERE and HERE. Last year, after my symptoms started post-hysterectomy-anesthesia, they’d noticed my homocysteine had doubled. They put me on active folate and tri-K. This year when I came back and told them about my reaction to the multivitamins and other systems, they tested me for MTHFR, a gene mutation that they felt explained my overreaction to anesthesia and inability to recover from it. My allergies and cruddy immune system. My inability to handle wheat and dairy. We learned my multivitamin had folic acid in it, which is basically poison to someone with MTHFR mutation. And we learned that, yep, indeed I did have the MTHFR mutation. They also said that because of this stockpiling of “poisons” and the prevalence of many other environmental toxins (that impact all of us), I should undertake not just MTHFR protocol, but also a comprehensive detox program. They warned me I would feel worse before I felt better (they were right, and that’s where I am right now, unfortunately).
So I’ve been detoxing in accordance with the protocol at MTHFR.net, where you can read all about what MTHFR is and how to get tested and treated for it. I won’t bore you with the details, other than an exciting picture of me in a portable infrared sauna. They’re funny looking, but they’re supposed to work, and I’ll try anything. Sure, I feel a little angry now that I’ve learned how easy it would have been for my anesthesiologist to ask a few more questions so he wouldn’t accidentally poison me with something it has taken my body 1.5 years and counting to get rid of. But I’m grateful beyond measure it didn’t kill me, and now for answers and a program that gives me hope.
It’s too early to celebrate, but I’m feeling pretty merry, and hopeful. Hope is the important thing.
So what I plan to do this Christmas is breathe. Continue to recover. Believe. And not pressure myself to write, at least not yet. Eric and I are going to play with our dogs, ride our big horses, and embark on a yaupon eradication program at Nowheresville.
Wow! I guess it was September-ish of 2015 when we sat in the Bookmobile and visited. Your hysterectomy was still pretty recent then, and you desperately wanted to feel better. What a journey you’ve had.
Thanks Marcy! And I know you’ve experienced similar struggles. Hugs and healing, love and light, darlin’.
Well what a year 2016 has been for you and many of us. I’m just so glad you’ve found some answers. Enjoy your Christmas vacation, take care and look after each other.
2017 is only 8 days away.
2016 in the rear view mirror, won’t we all be so excited!!! Thanks Judith.
You are in my prayers for quick and total solutions, once and for all! The Bible says we have the mind of Christ, we know all things, and that the memory of the just is blessed. God will turn this around for you so you once again have that sharp, crisp mind you’re used to!!!
I’m so sorry for all your health issues. I know there was a time, in my thirties I had unexplainable issues. How frustrating it can be.
If you need help eradicating yaupon (been there, done that), or riding big horses, I volunteer.
It breaks my heart to read it all condensed here and to know how tough this time has been for you. I wish I could carry it all for you. I am proud of you for never allowing yourself to be defeated. For never giving up, for trying, researching, experiencing, testing, learning……..
I believe that you are on the right path now, and while I think there is still some fine tuning in terms of supplements and regime and food I believe in what you are doing.
I know how difficult it has been but I also know that you have always been in there, sometimes a bit clouded but never a doubt that YOU are still completely YOU, and that is pretty awesome.
Thank you for still seeing ME even when circumstances make it harder <3 You are the world's best husband, hands down.
You will write when it’s time.
Enjoy your healing and time off.
I am so sorry to hear what you’ve been through the last year and a half. We will keep you in our prayers that you have finally found the “solution” to your ills. May you continue to improve and feel better until you are back to “normal.” (It differs for certain people, y’know! 😉 ) Hope you and yours have a joyous Holiday Season.
And some are less normal than others 😉 Love ya Big Lar!
WDKY! You’re supposed to write what you know! Fight the good fight! MTHFR is aptly named! Merry Christmas to you! I may be in Nowheresville New Years Eve! Looking Forward to 2017!
We shall be at the Burton Roadhouse for NYE. If you’re in town and aren’t there, let me know and maybe you can come out and I can make you coffee and let Petey and the gang lick you to death.
I’ll look for you there! Party like it’s 2017!
<3 Blessings to you, Trey, and Jamie as well. Thank you Laura!
I was horrified and yet delighted to read about your anesthesia experience and am now wondering if that’s what happened to me. I can tell you that I have many surgeries, but the one when I got “spayed” was the worst. I have never felt the same since. Like you, anxious, heart racing and much more. It’s been years now and I keep wondering what happened to me. I’m going to explore this detoxing thing and see if that would be of benefit to me.
Now, you rest up, “get to feelin’ better,” and come back to us with another marvelous masterpiece. I absolutely love your work. Can’t wait to read more. In fact, I get a bit of “DTs” when I’m in between them waiting for another.
Happy Holiday and Happy New Year to You and Yours….
Lainey! Definitely you should check it out. The Doctor whose site http://mthfr.net has the great protocol for detoxing and adding active folate and active b12 into your life puts it this way: it’s not going to hurt you to try the protocol, so WHY NOT? So sorry you had a bad experience too. I’m starting to have flashes of feeling a little better/more like the old me. You’ll be in my prayers.
Hoping to get back to writing in January!!!!
You are an amazing woman, and it’s your perseverance and His miracles that have set you on the road to solutions. This is almost too complex to comprehend, and your transparency will help others who are struggling with similar issues. You are the heroine of this story, and you will slay this dragon!
Today is January 1st, 2917. 2016 is in the rearview mirror! Celebrate and chillax with your sweet,supportive hubby and the many furry babies. We can wait for your next great novel…but it’s hard!
<3 Thank you Pat! Happy New Year.

*to think I wrote this on a “good” day. Not everyday can be cake and ice cream days. Sometimes you’ve got to just let the storm rage and make it through. Not that it’s raging for me currently but somewhere someone’s storm is hurricaning through them. (Yes, I made that a verb.) This is what it feels like for me when I just can’t take anymore “helpful” consolation, even though I know they mean well.

If you are under investigation or have been charged with a felony crime in Maumee, Ohio (outside the Toledo OH area), it is imperative you take steps to protect yourself from possible miscarriages of justice. As a United States citizen, the criminal justice offers you certain rights that are designed to protect you and assure you a fair trial. The most important of those rights is the right to attorney.
1. Interpreting the Law – An experienced attorney is trained to understand complicated laws and all the implications that surround them. As your representative, the attorney should be able to explain your charges and the possible exposure in terms you can understand.
2. Assessing Evidence – While a prosecutor may have probable cause to file charges, it doesn’t mean they have the evidence to assure a conviction. It’s your attorney’s job to look at the evidence, listen to your side of the issue and determine a proper course of action.
3. Handling Paperwork – The filing of motions and court documents are critical processes that demand attention to detail and accuracy. An attorney and/or their staff members are trained to prepare critical documents the way the court system needs them filed.
4. Preparing for Trial – This is where many cases are won or lost. A competent attorney should review the evidence and line up experts and witnesses to refute the evidence.
5. Negotiating with Prosecutor – If you are guilty or there are extenuating circumstances, an experienced attorney should know how to approach prosecutors about a possible plea bargain. While you may have committed a crime, it doesn’t mean you deserve the maximum penalty. There is also the possibility they can convince the prosecutor to drop the charges if a case is weak or unfounded.
As you can see, some crimes have the ability to destroy your life. The best protection you have is representation from an experienced and competent criminal law attorney. If you live around the Toledo OH region or in the city of Maumee, Ohio, and need representation, please contact this firm for an immediate consultation.
Call Toledo criminal law attorney Michael E. Bryant today for all of your legal needs. Find Michael E. Bryant online at www.mebryantlaw.com, visit our law office in Toledo, OH on the second floor of 1119 Adams St. or call us at (419) 243-3922.

Here it is, Robotech Issue 5. The crew of the SDF-1 have survived their first adventure together. As the laser canons go silent, it appears that something else has been going on in the background.
At the end of the last issue of Robotech we saw the beloved Captain Gloval die, diverting from the show – this now leaves Lisa Hayes in command. Overwhelmed by responsibility and the fact the Zentradi won’t let up attacking the SDF-1, Lisa decides she has no choice but to re-open some old wounds and lead her new crew to the Mars outpost.
Meanwhile, down below Rick Hunter has discovered his eyes are mutating and no one really knows why and until he figures it out, his piloting adventures have been grounded. Gloria and Roy are not convinced that Gloval’s death is an accident as they begin to wonder if he was killed for his knowledge of a darker secret known only to a few.
Now we’ve settled into the series things are starting to get interesting. It may be cutting down on the epic space dogfights but the mysteries presented in the issue could lead to an interesting take on the Robotech franchise.
One issue I’ve started to find with Marco Turini’s artwork is the odd use of dimpling for the human characters faces, it makes it look like the characters faces are dirty and not that emotive. Despite that, the brief glimpse of the space battles do look great with a mess of explosions and the fighters do look fantastic.
Lisa is an interesting character to shunt into the lead role as in the show she’s always seen as someone who’s been suited to being second in command. Can she cope like Command Riker from Star Trek The Next Generation Or will she end of like Colonel Tigh in Battlestar Galactica?
The outcome of the Mars Misson will let us know!
This issue has finally prompted me to get to watching the Robotech Boxset at some point. So it's doing something right.

Clicking Unreal Engine > Library > Engine Versions > Latest Release Notes takes you to 4.10 release notes instead of 4.11.
This is likely directly related to the fact that the release notes web page does not appear to have an entry for 4.11 at all.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I have entered the following bug report: OPP-5529 and will update this post when this issue has been resolved.

This experience is a 17+ component dinner without plates or silverware, everything is placed directly on banana leaf and Ellie shows you how to eat with your hands. The table itself becomes a visual and gustatory exploration of the Filipino American and Filipino experience of kamayan (PH: boodle fight). It ends with baon, a specially designed box meant to take leftovers with you.
While we often can accommodate dietary restrictions, due to the special nature of this event, this is not possible. Likely on the menu: pork, chicken, shellfish and fish, nightshades, soy and wheat, dairy.
If you are someone who is excited about having professional documentation of your experience, this is for you! We will be professionally photographing and filming the entire event and post-production, you'll have direct access to high quality photos.

We think Evolve is the tastiest kefir out there. But don't just take our word for it. Read our latest press below.
Supermarket Guru on iVillage.com: Evolve Kefir is a hit!
Probiotics –– a word most people didn’t know until recently –– now rank in the top five foods that people want to add to their diets, according to the NPD Group, which tracks consumer trends.
Probiotics, which literally means “beneficial to life,” are live cultures of billions of friendly bacteria that are similar to those normally found in your body. These cultures provide health benefits that the bacteria already existing in your body do –– such as assisting with digestion and helping protect against harmful bacteria.
With all these health benefits, it makes sense to add kefir to your diet. Why not try Evolve Kefir Probiotic Smoothie today?

On October 6th & 7th 2018, Boston Children’s Museum will be hosting the Boston Mini Maker Faire for the third consecutive year. But did you know that the museum has been providing hands-on learning experiences for children for over a century? Today, Boston Children’s Museum has an exciting team of exhibit and program developers that all work towards providing robust experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (S.T.E.A.M)! In anticipation of one of the team’s favorite projects, the Boston Mini Maker Faire in October 2018, every member of the STEAM Team was asked the following question: What do you make, and why?
I wish I could differentiate myself from the HGTV-watching, Pinterest-inspired masses, but, I make DIY house projects! Trust me, you haven’t lived until you’ve taken five trips to the hardware store in one weekend. This is how we learn. I think pretty much anyone who lives in Boston will agree with me when I say that the general lack of storage in our city dwellings forces a lot of DIY creativity. There’s something really satisfying about imagining a project, figuring out how to bring it to life, and actually using it every day in your home. Plus, it’s a great test of the long-term stability of your marriage.
I make earrings and other stuff from recycled plastic. “Homemade Shrinky Dinks” was one of my regular Kitchen Science projects here at BCM, and I would tell kids “If you punch holes in it, you can make earrings or key chains or other stuff.” And then one day I thought “Well…I can do that too.” It was amusing and fun, but then I discovered other people liked my things enough to pay for them. So now I do it for amusement, fun and a tiny tiny bit of profit.
I make everything from spinnakers to recycled wool hats to bikes that make bubbles – sometimes out of necessity, sometimes as a creative outlet, but always because it’s fun and challenging to make stuff. I make things for my kids, my house, my neighborhood, my job, and occasionally on commission.
I like to make a mess. I love working on big, in-your-face projects– like a human-powered stamp roller! I also make small everyday things, from tie dye to candles to calligraphy. I enjoy the independence and self-reliance that making gives me.
Both as a practicing artist and educator, I find joy in facilitating and creating experiences that spark imagination, curiosity, exploration, collaboration, connection, reflection, creative voice, and transformation. I love to feel empowered and in turn, empower people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to imagine, activate, and participate thoughtfully in the creativity of the world inside and around us.
At Boston Children’s Museum, I make the same things our visitors make: paper bridges, coffee-filter snowflakes, zoetropes, leaf rubbings, scribble bots, paintings, drawings, sculptures and more. I make these things to learn about what works and what doesn’t. I explore the potential of the materials, and I find ways to help kids work through the challenges. At home, I make greeting cards, found poetry, and gift-wrap from recycled materials. These are things to give away, to show appreciation and gratitude for the people in my life.
What do I make? I make my life more difficult. Why? I try and make/do/fix/create everything with a misguided overconfidence. At times I am successful. Other times I turn to online tutorials and success is a coin flip. Often times I fail. No matter what the task is, the attempt is the rush, and the result is a lesson. When I’m not engaged in such Maker-hubris, I like to write, play percussion instruments, and most of all: make people laugh!

today viaggio0001 and I went to Agnes Banks Nature Reserve to look for GA0127 Ready, steady, go. We looked at one posted track entry next to the Motorbike track but it is now a padlocked gate. So we drove to the Nature Reserve entry and walked the tracks towards GZ. About 30m away there is a fairly new Electric fence. I guess where the cache was is now private property. Being an all son of hack cache I wasnt sure what to do?
If it's definately on private property and the landowner hasn't agreed to having cachers wandering on their property then, unfortunately, it should be archived. A shame to lose such an old cache.
Log a "Needs Archiving" against it. It will be reviewed and assigned to the big GZ in the sky.
I have seen electric fences used on land that the landowner doesn't actually own, but near their property. For instance, the end of a dead end public road closed off with an electric fence for the nearby farmer to use to graze their animals. Plus other land beside the road being grazed with an electric fence to keep the cattle there. I have seen the land belonging to an old railway station fenced off by a farmer with an electric fence. You can be fairly certain the farmer did not own this. An electric fence doesn't necessarily mean it's private property. More information can sometimes be needed than just an electric fence to determine if it's private property.
You say it's a Nature Reserve Trail.
The fence was a solid new permanent fence with the top being electric and warning signs attached, at the edge of what is the Nature Reserve. And the other trail entrance has a solid padlocked gate. I will head back in the next few days and see if I can find out anything else.
Sadly, ack son of hack passed away in May 2014. No point posting notes or NA on his cache pages. If it's a GCA cache and there is an issue that can't be fixed contact C@w and he could archive the cache on behalf of the deceased owner.
As far as I know no one is looking after his caches but maybe someone may like to do that.
I knew he had passed away. I know there are some cachers that maintain some of his GC caches. From what I saw today though I this is a case of no longer being able to get access to that particular cache.
If you post a NA on the cache it will be eventually reviewed by our volunteers and archived accordingly.

I have updated the patch in Code::Blocks / Tickets / #303 make code completion's toolbar configurable, but it looks like some items are not disabled? Why?
See the patch and the screenshot as attachment, note I'm building against wx3.1 under Windows7 64bit with a 32bit GCC compiler.
For me everything is disabled, which is in fact wrong, because the toolbar settings could not be saved.
The fix about disabling/enabling the symbol browser controls is in trunks. Thanks for the initial patch and the report.
I'm OK with all your changes, so please commit, thanks.
What do you mean by "not at all", you mean we can't adjust the length of those two items under wx2.8? For me, I have only wx3.1 at hand.
Yes, it doesn't work at all, even after restart.
This is indeed bad news. If I remember correctly, the first version of the patch about configure the CC toolbar's length was created by me about 6 years ago, at that time, only wx2.8 exits, and the first version should works under wx2.8, but I'm not sure why it can't work right now. No time to test under wx2.8 because I don't have a wx2.8 on my system.
This new version at least works when cb is restarted for wx28 builds.
Can someone test it on Windows with wx28?
On Windows 7 with wx2.8 it works OK without restarting.
BTW, in the first page of the settings there is a typo; it reads "Add doxgen comment..." when it should read "doxygen".
Thanks for testing. I guess I'll commit it as is, wx2.8 is not that common on linux anyway.
I'll also fix the spelling. Thanks for reporting.
Some length is 280, and Some length is 286, the "280" should be "286"?
Sorry, the 280 is from my patch.

Terre-en-vue brings together citizens, organizations and public actors who wish to facilitate access to land in Belgium . Three organizations structure their activities: a non-profit association, a cooperative society with a social purpose and a foundation (under construction).
Movement was born in the Network for the Support of Agriculture Paysanne. Originally worn by a group is called "Group Dynamo", the movement was consolidated in October 2011 by the constitution of the association "Terre-en-vue" which gives the task of creating a cooperative society. Under the same name, the latter born in March 2012. A foundation will add to these two organizations. The three structures work in a complementary manner.
Movement Terre-en-vue is in an agricultural landscape in transition. Land grabbing, growth in land prices, market prices globalized food, inadequate legal frameworks to the current situation and other reasons make weekly 41 farms disappear in Belgium (16 in Wallonia ). With them, 62 farmer stop their activities.
To cope with various challenges, the Movement around organizations and experts. We draw on collaborative approaches as participatory and inclusive sociocracy and apply these methods also in the structure and internal governance of the various components of the Movement.
