Golfers. Cheeky little wags, aren't they? Well, here's the perfect toy for the chirpy golfer with a sense of humour â‚¬Å¡â€šâ€œ a remote controlled golf ball that can be set to spin off in any direction you fancy at the flick of a switch. Particularly amusing and useful if you're being thrashed by your opponent. Just slot your ball on his tee and, as he winds up an almighty drive, use the remote to dribble the ball from the tee. Imagine his frustration. Hilarious. The Incred-a-ball, you see, has a little gyroscope mounted inside it and a motor to make it spin. When fully charged, the ball can be made to spin off in random directions. If your opponent isn't annoyed enough that his ball keeps falling off the tee, he'll think he's lost it totally as he sees his ball driving off into the distance. And think of all those hole in ones you could bag with it. Worth its weight in 19th hole drinking we imagine.
Sorry the The Golf Club Incrediball RTR RC Golfball is currently out of stock.

In The Harvey Milk Interviews: In His Own Words, editor Vince Emery has compiled a book that chronicles the gay rights pioneer's life, struggles and strategies, primarily as told by Milk himself. The 39 interviews, which have never before been published in a book, span Milk's political career from his first days as a candidate for San Francisco's board of supervisors in 1973 until mere weeks before his assassination in 1978.
When asked what inspired him to compile and edit "Interviews," Emery said, "In this book, Milk explains his strategies and also his planswhat he hoped to do before he was assassinated. … I'm hoping that people who don't know more about Milk will be inspired to take action by reading the book." Emery then laughed and added, "And it's gratifying because it took a heck of a lot of work to put it together."
Emery, a resident of San Francisco, was aided in his mission to unearth new information about Milk by his proximity to the James C. Hormel Gay and Lesbian Center in San Francisco's Public Library. The center, described on its website as "the gateway to collections documenting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender history and culture," is home to many of Milk's papers as well as the archives of The Mayor of Castro Street author Randy Shiltz. Emery conducted more investigative work at San Francisco's GLBT Historical Society. Additionally, he scoured the Bay Area's television archives for interviews on Milk.
"Interviews," took Emery nearly three years to complete, and was originally intended to be finished by 2010. " I actually started it thinking, 'Well, this will be a valuable book and it won't take that long to do,'" said Emery. "I was wrong about the second half."
Emery noted that obtaining the rights to various interviews was one of the more difficult parts of the process. Whoever originally recorded various radio interviews and televised debates owned the rights to those recordings, and most of the contents obtained for the book were not public interviews. Emery said the compilation of "Interviews" required a lot of "detective work" and some Indiana Jones-esque moments of discovery.
One anecdote Emery recounted was his discovery of a recording of the longest "Briggs vs. Milk" debate on eBay. In the recording, Milk and California State Senator John Briggs debated the infamous Proposition 6 Briggs Initiative, a 1978 California proposition that, had it passed, would have removed gay teachers from public schools. After Emery acquired the recording, he had to "hunt down" the owner to obtain the rights to publish it. Fortunately, Dan Nicoletto, a former employee of Milk's store, Castro Camera, aided him in his quest.
The Briggs debate portion of "Interviews" is as exciting as it is informative. In one televised interview, in which no formalized debate structure was established, the verbal sparring between Briggs and Milk reads like a teleplay. These and other passages are marked by Milk's superb wit. "Here is a man who loved to talk and did it well," said Emery.
Emery had originally considered editing Brigg's lengthy speeches out of the debates before he decided to publish them in full. "It's really important for people to see these arguments," said Emery. "I was surprised that some of these same arguments, even though they're not valid, people are still using exactly the same arguments today. I think it's good that they are in here because you can see Harvey's countermoves to Briggs' arguments."
In another of the book's noteworthy interviews from 1978, Milk spoke on Los Angeles-based radio reporter Greg Gordon's program This Way Out, now the oldest LGBT-focused radio program in the United States. Milk cautioned that stamping out gay rights was often a precursor to the oppression of other minorities. Milk cited pre-Nazi Germany's prominent gay movement, which was "more advanced than the gay movement of San Francisco in 1978," as an example.
"Milk did see himself as very active for LGBT rights but he saw that in the spectrum of all minorities," said Emery. "He saw that if any minority was having its rights taken away, that would lead to rights being removed for everyone. That's why I put the quote that I did on the front cover of the book: 'I stand for the equal rights of all people.'"
In the wake of Proposition 8 being passed in California, Emery stressed his hope that this book will inspire people to keep involved and take action. "Milk saw that you can't have freedom, you can't have human rights, for one group of people if you're cutting them off for other groups of people," said Emery. "So gay rights do protect rights for everyone. I firmly believe he was absolutely right in that. … And, hopefully, that's something that people will read."

Africa needs a centralised body to help it overcome the lack of scientific capacity and expertise in regulating genetically modified organisms (GMOs), says a study.
The disarray of national policies, which are often poorly functioning or lacking in scientific expertise to implement them, means that a pan-African approach to GMO risk analysis and biosafety regulation is needed, according to the study to be published in next month’s issue of Food Policy.
A lack of consensus on how to regulate GMOs in Africa partly explains why the technology has yet to significantly improve food security there — despite its introduction almost two decades ago, the study says.
The study examined the views of more than 300 stakeholders on the role of GMOs in agricultural development. These included research institutes, companies, government ministries and international bodies, in six African countries.
Adenle says the study is the largest and most comprehensive one on the issue yet conducted in Africa, revealing a diverse range of challenges in developing effective biosafety regulatory frameworks across the continent.
It found, for example, that Egypt and Tunisia suffer from a lack of biosafety laws with no risk assessments of GMOs in Egypt, despite its current cultivation of pest-resistant Bt maize.
Approval of Kenya’s biosafety laws is underway, with commercial production of pest-resistant Bt cotton due in 2014, however, the country faces challenges relating to the politicisation of the biosafety debate, with strong anti-GMO campaigns, and politicians using those views to gain popularity.
And in West Africa, biosafety laws have been approved in Ghana, and are waiting approval in Nigeria, but there is limited local scientific expertise for risk analysis of GMOs undergoing field trials.
To overcome these challenges, the study says that Africa could adopt a shared and centralised approach, similar to that used to assess risk in the European Union (EU) by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
A centralised approach could help by harmonising existing biosafety policies with new ones to strengthen GMO regulation across Africa, Adenle says. The approach could help ensure that GM products do not harm health or the environment.
Adenle says such a body could initially be hosted by South Africa as its regulatory capacity is equivalent to that of the EU. It could then gradually extend to a few other nations such as Egypt, Kenya and Nigeria, which are leaders in biotechnology research and development in Africa.
Adenle adds that the new body would take a similar approach to that adopted in the EU, but that Africa’s weak infrastructure and lack of human capital mean that the continent would be more likely to adapt a body like the EFSA than to replicate it.
Kristin Wedding and Johanna Nesseth Tuttle, co-authors of a report on GMOs in Africa published last month by think tank the Center for Strategic and International Studies, say the study fills large gaps in the understanding of African stakeholders’ views.
Harmonising policies would be beneficial, for example by helping to open up a bigger market for companies, says Nesseth Tuttle.
Another benefit, according to Wedding, would be allowing countries that lack scientific capacity to rely on risk assessments done by a regional body “instead of reinventing the wheel by conducting the same resource-intensive evaluations on a country-by-country basis”.
But they highlight that adopting a centralised regulatory approach can be challenging.
Signing up to a regional policy may also result in local wishes and priorities clashing with those of other nations and the regional body, they say.

Build Deck Storage Chest Bench – A porch storage chest for storing smaller items are often used in the garden or backyard, like gardening tools and supplies, furniture or pillows, swimming pool toys or equipment, seasonal BBQ tools. Instructions build deck storage chest bench, Measure the space where you want to place your porch storage chest. Measure the space and determine the length, height and depth of the chest using a tape measure. Drag the pieces needed for the chest of plywood, with pencil and tape measure.
Draw two like bits back and forth with length and height measurements. Compose two sides’ rectangular pieces measuring height and depth. Cut 6 pieces for outdoor storage chest with puzzle. Put the pieces together, depending on size. Place the side pieces together and the lid and the bottom patch, for example. Sandpaper all edges and surfaces smooth. Next steps build deck storage chest bench, Place the side pieces opposite each other, and front and rear pieces opposite each other to create a rectangular wooden frame.
Hand pieces should go between the front and back pieces. Attach to overlap each other to secure the frame, with 1 inch long screws and mechanical screwdriver. Check the evenness of the level. Use at least two screws per corner. Fix the lower part of the chest by placing it on top of the frame. Use 1-inch long screws and mechanical screwdriver to secure the bottom of the storage chest. Fold the right when you’re done. Place the chest lid up to the chest, so the pages line. Place the hinges so that one end is located inside the chest and the other end of the lid itself. The hinges should be placed evenly apart. Use 1/4-inch screws and screwdriver to secure the hinges on the chest. Paint the chest the colors you want. Add detailed or custom designs using small brushes and colors darker than your chosen base color. Spray a thick layer of water repellent on the porch storage chest when the paint has dried, so the chest can repel water during rain storms.

Not too fond of washing your bike with a pressure washer (seal issues), but getting mud off your bike without one can be a lot of work?
Try hooking up your garden hose to your home hot water heater. The hot water releases the mud from my bike quickly without the high pressure that isn't kind to bearings & seals.
If you know you'll be hitting mud, spray your bike with cooking oil spray (Pam or similar) before the ride. Obviously, avoid the rotors/brakes and the exhaust header. Especially valuable when on the Dalton in Alaska where the mud dries into ceramic-like coating due to the calcium carbonate used to hold down dust.
For sure Green. Good addition! Armor All, Silicone spray too. But, cooking spray is cheaper and who doesn't have some already? Butter flavor or just regular?

TAX-FREE INCOME AND GAINS ARE JUST A CLICK AWAY. THE MOST FLEXIBLE TAX SHELTER JUST BECAME EVEN NICER BUT ANNUAL ALLOWANCES MEAN WHAT THEY SAY: USE THEM OR LOSE THEM. WORDS BY IAN COWIE.
You don’t need to go offshore to place your savings and investments beyond the grasp of the taxman.
Yes, you may have guessed, I am talking about the individual savings account or ISA: a simple and convenient wrapper that can be used to shelter a wide range of assets from the beady eyes of HM Revenue & Customs. The ISA annual allowance – or the maximum every adult can save or invest each year in this tax haven – jumped by nearly a third to £20,000 on April 6, 2017 and has been frozen at this level.
So it makes sense to find out more about the new, nicer ISA. Because every adult has their own annual ISA allowance, a married couple or any other pair of people aged 18 or more may shelter £40,000 here this year – or a total of £200,000 over the next five years, assuming the rules remain as they are. Currently any income or capital gains you receive from an ISA will be free of any further liability to income tax or capital gains tax, whatever your individual circumstances.
ISAs are more flexible than, say, pensions where withdrawals cannot usually be made before the saver reaches 55 years of age. In many ways, ISAs and pensions are mirror images of each other, with tax relief on the latter being received on the way in – when contributions are made – and tax relief on the former being received on the way out, when money is withdrawn.
Cash deposits can be regarded as risk-free in the short term because banks and building societies guarantee to return your original capital; the Financial Services Compensation Scheme can pay depositors 100% of losses up to £85,000 per person.
However, while interest rates remain at or near all-time-lows, many deposit accounts fail to pay sufficient returns to match the rate at which inflation is eroding the real value or purchasing power of money. This means that while you can be confident of getting back £1,000 for every £1,000 deposited, its real value may shrink over the medium to long term because of the insidious effect of inflation.
So it may be worth considering accepting some higher degree of risk in order to seek higher returns to preserve or increase the real value of your savings and investments.
It is very important to remember that share prices can fall without warning and you may get back less than you invest in the stock market. While the past is not necessarily a guide to the future, history does provide food for thought for people who can afford to accept some degree of risk in pursuit of real returns.
Comprehensive analysis of investment performance over the last century or more shows that shares reflecting the broad composition of the London Stock Exchange tended to deliver higher returns than deposits over the medium to long term.
Specifically, shares beat deposits in three-quarters of all the periods of five consecutive years since 1899. The probability of shares delivering higher returns than deposits increased over longer periods of time so that, for example, over any period of 10 years shares did best more than 90% of the time.
Volatility – or the tendency for share prices to fall without warning – remains a worry. So, to avoid the risk that you may be forced to sell during a temporary downturn, you should only invest money in a stock market ISA that you can afford to keep invested for five years or more.
"THE MORE TIME YOU GIVE YOUR ISA TO GROW, THE MORE SATISFYING THE RESULTS ARE LIKELY TO BE."
The sooner you consider getting started, saving and investing in an ISA, the sooner you can start to benefit from this tax shelter. Even making your ISA investment near the start of the tax year – which begins on April 6 – rather than waiting until the following spring can have a surprisingly beneficial effect.
John Butters, Chief Investment Officer at Weatherbys Private Bank, calculates that if a standard 4% per annum investment return is achieved, investing your ISA allowance at the start of each tax year over a decade will produce a fund worth nearly £10,000 more than if the same sums are invested with the same returns at the end of each tax year. Over 20 years, the difference would be £24,000.
That’s a bigger reward for ‘early bird’ ISA investors than you might expect and demonstrates the value of considering action without unnecessary delay. To return to where we began and the importance of taking a ‘timely and methodical approach’ to the new nicer ISA, it’s worth emphasising that the allowance is annual and expires each year at midnight on April 5.
You cannot go back to make use of earlier years’ unused ISA allowances. So, when it comes to making the most of this flexible tax shelter, it really is a case of use it or lose it.

text: Pro-inflammatory cytokines secreted by macrophages and other cell types are implicated as intraovarian factors affecting different aspects of ovarian function including follicle and corpus luteum ‘turnover’, steroidogenesis and angiogenesis. Here, we compared granulosal (GC) and thecal (TC) expression of TNF, IL6 and their receptors (TNFRSF1A, TNFRSF1B and IL6R) during bovine antral follicle development; all five mRNA transcripts were detected in both GC and TC and statistically significant cell-type and follicle stage-related differences were evident. Since few studies have examined cytokine actions on TC steroidogenesis, we cultured TC under conditions that retain a non-luteinized ‘follicular’ phenotype and treated them with TNFα and IL6 under basal and LH-stimulated conditions. Both TNFα and IL6 suppressed androgen secretion concomitantly with CYP17A1 and LHCGR mRNA expression. In addition, TNFα reduced INSL3, HSD3B1 and NOS3 expression but increased NOS2 expression. IL6 also reduced LHCGR and STAR expression but did not affect HSD3B1, INSL3, NOS2 or NOS3 expression. As macrophages are a prominent source of these cytokines in vivo, we next co-cultured TC with macrophages and observed an abolition of LH-induced androgen production accompanied by a reduction in CYP17A1, INSL3, LHCGR, STAR, CYP11A1 and HSD3B1 expression. Exposure of TC to bacterial lipopolysaccharide also blocked LH-induced androgen secretion, an effect reduced by a toll-like receptor blocker (TAK242). Collectively, the results support an inhibitory action of macrophages on thecal androgen production, likely mediated by their secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines that downregulate the expression of LHCGR, CYP17A1 and INSL3. Bovine theca interna cells can also detect and respond directly to lipopolysaccharide.

What is the indoor golf league?
The indoor golf league is played on our virtual golf simulator, which is open to club members and the public.
For league play, we highly recommend you sign up with a partner, but you can sign up as a single and we will do our best to match you with a partner.
Once per week you will play nine holes on a predetermined course and we use the Stableford scoring system, which not only increases the rate of play, but also enables players to compete evenly in spite of the occasional bad hole or two.
Team’s cumulative weekly scores are compiled to determine weekly prizes and advancement to the league playoffs, where league champions win a cash prize “not pro shop credit”.
Do I have to be in the league to use the simulator?
No, the simulator can be rented by the hour. The number of players playing on the simulator does not change the price. We have three seasons for pricing summer, fall and winter.
When can I play my league rounds?
You can play your round anytime there is an open tee time. Don’t worry if you miss a week, it can be made up any other week.
Is there a place for me to store my clubs?
Yes, we do have club storage for a small fee. Inner Quest students can store their clubs for no charge.
Do I use my own clubs and balls in the simulator?
Yes, of course. It wouldn’t be much like real golf otherwise. We just ask that the ball is newer and has no cuts, scrapes or ID makers on it.
Yes, we are open to the public. Both members and non-members are welcome to use the simulator, get fitted for demo clubs, take golf lessons. You can also have a repair done for a later pick up or you may have them delivered.
We work with a wide range of students from the beginning to competitive golfers playing regularly in local and traveling tournaments. We work with children, teens, and adults of all ages.
Each lesson lasts at least 1 hour depending on our agenda for the lesson but kids under the age of 13 are usually around 30 min. depending on their attention span. However, a playing lesson lasts between two and four hours.
When should I buy your fitted clubs?
Since the fitting is free, you can be fitted for clubs whenever you’re ready and can make solid ball contact. From there our pro will actually build you a club that will help your game.
I've taken lessons before and they didn't help much, so what makes you different?
I believe there are several reasons I am different from other golf instructors. If I can’t help you, I will refer to someone I think can. That is why I offer what no one else will a Goal Guaranteed Lessons plan. This gives our pro a more vested interest in your success, with no up selling; costing you more money.
Fitted clubs from me are frequency fitted clubs, not flex fitted. Frequency fitted clubs can improve your control and your distance by 60 – 80%. I don’t charge you for a club fitting and club analysis. I build you a demo driver and a 6 iron that properly fit you, so you can see how my custom clubs can help your game. This way you can compare them to other brands or fitting methods to see which is best for you.
Yes, you can purchase gift certificates for any denomination that you need. Gift certificates can be mailed, emailed, or you can pick them up at the pro shop.
-- I LOVE MY CLUBS!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump’s communications director is leaving the job, the White House said on Tuesday, as the president considers wider staff changes to try to contain political damage from investigations into Russia and his presidential campaign.
Mike Dubke confirmed reports he had resigned, saying in a statement, “It has been my great honor to serve President Trump and this administration.” Dubke, who had been in the job just three months, gave no reason for leaving.
Trump, who returned to Washington on Saturday after a nine-day trip to the Middle East and Europe, has been expected to shake up staff to tackle the firestorm over investigations into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and communication between Russia and Trump’s campaign and transition team.
Dubke, who was joined the White House in March to head the office that runs press and other public relations issues, oversees the White House’s message strategy while spokesman Sean Spicer, a more high-profile figure, handles daily media briefings.
The Republican president came home to face more questions on Russia after media reports about communications during and after the campaign between his son-in-law and close adviser, Jared Kushner, and Russia’s ambassador to Washington.
Spicer was asked on Tuesday whether Trump knew about reported efforts by Kushner in December to set up a back channel for communications with Russia.
“What your question assumes is a lot of facts that are not substantiated by anything but anonymous sources that are so far being leaked out,” he told a news briefing.
Dubke resigned just before Trump left on his foreign trip but will stay on until a transition is concluded, Reince Priebus, the White House chief of staff, said.
Other potential staff changes could be in the works, according to Axios News, which first reported Dubke’s departure, including fewer on-camera news briefings by Spicer, the White House press secretary.
Trump also will take more questions directly from the media, Axios reported.
“Ultimately the best messenger is the president himself,” Spicer said on Tuesday.
Senior adviser Kellyanne Conway told Fox News the White House will continue to bring in Cabinet secretaries and other top officials to handle news briefings on topics in their patch.
Conway also dismissed persistent speculation that Spicer, who has been pilloried on TV comedy shows since Trump took office on Jan. 20, was on his way out.
Controversy over the Russia issue deepened after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey earlier this month, leading to allegations by critics that the president sought to hamper the agency’s investigation of the matter.
Moscow has denied U.S. intelligence agencies’ conclusion that it meddled in the campaign to try to tilt the election in Trump’s favor.
The president has denied any collusion, repeatedly denouncing the probes by a special counsel at the Justice Department, the FBI and several congressional panels as a Democrat-backed effort to explain Hillary Clinton’s upset defeat in the White House race.
Congressional investigations into the Russia issue have expanded to include Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen, ABC News reported on Tuesday.
Cohen confirmed he had been asked to provide information and testimony to investigators in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate but said he declined because “the request was poorly phrased, overly broad and not capable of being answered,” ABC reported.
Cohen did not respond to Reuters’ request to comment. The White House declined to comment, saying Cohen is not an employee of the administration.
However, former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn, who resigned after failing to properly disclose his own contacts with Russian officials, told the Senate Intelligence Committee he will begin turning over some documents subpoenaed by the panel, a government source familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Goldman Lands Lead in "Groupon, the IPO"
Groupon, the discount deal offerer from Chicago whose revenues have increased by 20,000 percent in the past two years (no joke) and whose CEO Andrew Mason (pictured below) not long ago turned down a $6 billion buyout from Google, has just filed to go public in what's likely to be an even more highly sought after deal than LinkedIn's IPO a couple weeks back.
On board to lead underwrite the proposed $750 million deal (and earn some nice fee$) are Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, and Morgan Stanley (the only one of the three that also led LinkedIn's IPO).
Speaking of fees, in somewhat of an unorthodox move (but in the spirit of the deal), the three banks are offering Groupon the choice of (1) a 50 percent break on their typical underwiting fees; (2) a 30 percent break, plus a free tour of their respective subprime mortage-backed security trading floors; or (3) a 20 percent break, plus a three-martini lunch date with their respective CEOs (which, in Goldman's case, is being advertised as "breaking bread with St. Lloyd").

Skeletal muscle contains the greatest intracellular concentration of glutamine, comprising up to 60 percent of total body glutamine stores, and muscle is the primary storage depot and exporter of glutamine to other tissues. However, the gastrointestinal tract is the greatest user of glutamine in the body because glutamine provides the primary fuel for the nutrient-absorbing cells that line the walls of the small intestine.
Various stressors – such as trauma, infection, malnutrition, chemotherapy, and others – can impact the normal function of the enterocytes of the small intestine by adversely affecting how substances are absorbed. For example, when gut permeability is impaired it can allow large protein molecules to diffuse across the intestine – that would otherwise not – and enter the bloodstream. The body can identify these large protein molecules as foreign and mount an immune reaction against them, which can result in the development of food allergies. In numerous animal studies, in which hyperpermeability of the intestine is experimentally induced, the addition of glutamine improved permeability function as well as the gut's immune function.
Under certain circumstances the body's tissues need more glutamine than the amount supplied by diet and internal production. In times of metabolic stress, glutamine is released from the muscles into the bloodstream, where it is transported to the tissues in need. But glutamine concentration in the skeletal muscles can be affected by various insults, including injury, infection, prolonged stress, malnutrition, and the use of glucocorticoids. Research demonstrates glutamine supplementation may be of benefit to the needed structures and functions.
In addition, as noted above, evidence suggests supplemental glutamine may provide benefit for gastrointestinal health, as well as support for wound healing, immune health, and nutrient support for individuals undergoing chemotherapy and radiation.

In the meantime, several stories in the media have been making these same points. I recommend Masha Gessen in the New Yorker, because of the particular perspective she has; my colleague Richard Lemons’ editorial in the CT Mirror; and Will Stancil in The Atlantic, which seems to me to provide a really great starting place for a conversation about white privilege and how that actually plays out in our America. This is our issue, whether or not we actually broke the law. Indeed, when it comes to privilege in education, the law is beside the point–it singularly fails to delineate a moral stance on the issue. Alexander Russo presents the college-for-sale story from a journalist’s point of view–why did this “side door” into elite colleges go unreported for so long? So I’ll also take the opportunity to plug Russo’s blog on the Kappan website, the weekly newsletter, and his Twitter feed, @alexanderrusso.
In case you didn’t have a chance to look at last week’s Marshall Memo (#776!) yet, Kim provided a very useful summary of the HBR article on feedback that I wrote about in this Coaching Letter about, wait for it, feedback. I’ve talked to a lot of people already who have already brought the article to their leadership teams or sent to their coaches–please, I would really like to hear from any others who have used it with different groups for different purposes. I’m very curious what people make of the ideas. And if you haven’t read it already, please check it out, I think it’s going to be a classic.
I’ve also heard from several people who have started, or are about to start reading The Fearless Organization, by Amy Edmondson. I had a great conversation with a superintendent today who was able to talk about how he had chosen to handle a couple of situations differently since he started reading the book just a few days ago! So now I know for sure that we chose the right book! I also know that whether or not you are planning to read the book, your interest has been piqued, as the links that I provided to Professor Edmondson’s work in last week’s Coaching Letter have now been clicked hundreds of times each. PLEASE REMEMBER TO SAVE THE EVENING OF MAY 29 for a book-related event, probably at the Center’s offices in Hartford. I’ll keep you posted, but I haven’t really had the chance to think about it!
And speaking of white privilege, I’ve been involved in several equity-related events or conversations recently, and on many of those occasions I wished I had Lindsey, Nuri Robins, and Terrell’s definition of cultural proficiency in my back pocket. (Actually, those authors are for the book Cultural Proficiency: A Manual for School Leaders, which was the one closest to hand on my bookcase, but there are several Cultural Proficiency books with Randall Lindsey as the lead author, and as far as I remember they all have the same definition early in the book.) I have found the Cultural Proficiency Continuum to be a very useful resource for giving people clarity on what we mean by cultural proficiency, and language to be able to self-assess and to talk about the next level of work. The description of “cultural blindness” is particularly helpful in explaining to well-meaning folks who have not yet had to examine their own privilege (I would put Howard Schultz in this category) that using phrases like “I don’t see color” negates the reality of people of color who are never, ever in a position to say that. But the position of “cultural blindness” relative to other points on the continuum is part of what makes the definition powerful, so while it’s tempting to use in isolation, I think it’s most useful to ask people to read and reflect on the whole chapter. If you’re looking for a summary, this is a good place to start.

3 Thine ointments savour sweetly; Thy name is an ointment poured forth: Therefore do the virgins love thee.
4 Draw me, we will run after thee! -- The king hath brought me into his chambers -- We will be glad and rejoice in thee, We will remember thy love more than wine. They love thee uprightly.
5 I am black, but comely, daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, As the curtains of Solomon.
6 Look not upon me, because I am black; Because the sun hath looked upon me. My mother's children were angry with me: They made me keeper of the vineyards; Mine own vineyard have I not kept.
7 Tell me, thou whom my soul loveth, Where thou feedest [thy flock], Where thou makest it to rest at noon; For why should I be as one veiled Beside the flocks of thy companions?
8 If thou know not, thou fairest among women, Go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, And feed thy kids beside the shepherds' booths.
9 I compare thee, my love, To a steed in Pharaoh's chariots.
10 Thy cheeks are comely with bead-rows, Thy neck with ornamental chains.
11 We will make thee bead-rows of gold With studs of silver.
12 While the king is at his table, My spikenard sendeth forth its fragrance.
13 A bundle of myrrh is my beloved unto me; He shall pass the night between my breasts.
14 My beloved is unto me a cluster of henna-flowers In the vineyards of Engedi.
15 Behold, thou art fair, my love; Behold, thou art fair: thine eyes are doves.
16 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant; Also our bed is green.

Would you like to view the web & FTP statistics pertaining to your hosting account?
Site visitor statistics are an integral part of any hosting service. The number of individuals that have been to your website can give you more details regarding how it is performing and will reveal to you if you need to work on improving it. Normally the web statistics for a site include the everyday and the monthly visits (unique and reloads), the most visited webpages and the referrer websites, so if you notice that some webpages are getting a smaller amount traffic than others, you can consider making them more appealing to the visitors to use the full potential of your site. If you are advertising on the web, you'll also be able to see if the money was well-invested or not, because the web statistics typically offer info about third-party websites and search engines like Yahoo that refer visitors to your site. Having detailed and accurate stats will help you improve your website and plan your marketing and advertising strategies more effective, in order to get more potential clients.
The web stats that we'll provide you with are very thorough and shall offer you all the data that you will require concerning the traffic to your sites. From the Hepsia CP, included with our website hosting accounts, you can access two different applications - AWStats and Webalizer, in order to get a better idea of how the sites are performing. The statistics are per hour, day-to-day and month-to-month and feature quite a lot of information - what amount of traffic is generated by real people and how much by bots or search engines like Yahoo, where the website visitors have come from and if they are new, the most downloaded data, the visitors’ IP addresses, etcetera. This info is shown in graphs and tables and you could save it if you need to prepare a report about the overall performance of any site, for example. An in-house built software tool will also show you the visitors and their countries in real time.

How Much Should I Pay For Velux Windows?
Anyone whose home has one too many dark corners understands the importance of lighting. A fantastic way to bring more light into your property is with a roof window.
These allow the sunlight to flood into your home, transforming those dark and dingy areas, such as converted lofts and stairwells, into real wow factors. They can add a pretty penny to the value of your home too.
Commonly called Velux windows, sky lights actually come in all manner of forms, and from many brands; Velux is just one of the more popular companies.
There are a variety of styles and designs to suit the aesthetics of your home too. In addition, you’ll find various window features to choose from such as locking options and opening mechanisms. For example, some windows swivel on a central hinge in the middle, whilst others may open and close from one end.
As you might expect, having a roof light fitted isn’t cheap, and you’ll need to set aside a large enough budget to cover the window itself and the labour required. When installing a skylight, roof timbers will need to be cut and you might need some extra supports. A small amount of plastering will also be required after the work’s completed to ensure a seamless integration of the new window with your home.
Typically, a window of this size would be ideal for a bathroom area. The cost of installation, complete with flashing kit, collar, insulation, roof alterations and waste disposal is likely to be between £800 and £1,100, with prices a hundred pounds or so higher in London.
These larger windows are commonly used above stairwells, loft conversions, and on single story extensions where light needs to be brought into living areas. Installation costs are likely to be between £1,300 and £1,600.
If you’ve already got a skylight but need your Velux window repaired, costs are likely to be a little less. In fact, you might not even need to replace the entire unit, and a skilled contractor can easily install new flashing trim or glass. If, however, you do need a new window, costs are likely to be as follows.
To remove, replace and dispose of all waste products, you should expect costs of between £600 and £900, with expenses a little higher in London.
The cost to have a larger window replaced can be between £1,100 and £1,400.
One of the largest variables in having Velux windows installed or replaced is the labour costs. The cost of Velux windows won’t differ from region to region, and the costs of removing a roof light and cutting a hole and timbers are minimal. For this reason, it’s a good idea to use a website like Rated People where you can look up local contractors and negotiate a good price.
Unfortunately, there are a number of other factors you need to be aware of when having a window installed or replaced; all of which can bump up the price. Scaffolding, for example, can be quite expensive.
It’s unlikely you’ll need to pay for this if you’re having a simple window installed, but if access is hard and scaffolding is required, particularly on the outside of a building, costs can quickly spiral. Vapour barriers will be required to prevent condensation on all new windows, and if you’re replacing a Velux light and this is absent, it will need to be installed. In addition, features like electric openers, security glass, opening rods and additional blinds or shutters will all push the overall cost up.
Luckily, there are ways to save money too. For example, instead of buying Velux windows, you could opt for a cheaper alternative. You might also be able to repair your window instead of completely replacing it; a project that will cost a lot less.
Adding a roof light to your home not only brightens your living space, but adds value to your property too. And, if you shop around for the most affordable products and keep labour costs down, getting these windows installed might not be as expensive as you think.

On 5/16, I joined TokyoBarCamp.
The first BarCamp in Tokyo[ja] was back in February 2007, so it has been a long time...!
There were 92 participants, there were 3 separate rooms and each session was 15 minutes, and the sessions went on from 10:30 in the morning to 21:00 at night so everyone had plenty occasions to hold sessions- some even made 3 sessions. Some were speeches, some just wrote topics they were interested in, and made the session into a discussion period among the participants.
I really loved the variety of people and contents we had at this barcamp.
This is a session by Mitch Altman who happened to be visiting Japan this week, and he talked about the Hacker Space all around the world.
It was interesting watching people's behavior after the session.
-Saturday afternoon, another from the audience planned a session to plan creating a hacker space in Tokyo.
-Saturday night, Tokyohackerspace.com was made into a wiki.
-Tuesday is the actual visit.
This is a shot from "Africa and the web" session where I was able to learn a lot about African websites.
This is a new and very important website "Barrier Free Map"
"Building Communities Using Photography" session.
There were sessions about US Airforce Research Lab, physical computing such as Chumby Hacking session and Arduino session, blogs, social media, lifelogging, Open Solaris session etc... the variety of the sessions were so broad and interesting.

Many thanks to Matthew and all the organizers and volunteers at the event, Sun Microsystems for letting us use their office, all of the sponsors including the food sponsors for all the delicious meals, and all the participants. It was absolutely a fabulous day!
Thanks you so much for participating in Tokyo BarCamp. Many people befitted greatly from your presence. I hope you will join me in organizing similar events in Tokyo in the future.
I'm a writer for cracked.com, a pretty prominent humor essay website. I was working up an article on "Crazy Japanese Video Games", but I felt that sort of thing has been done a million times before. What I would love is to find out why these seemingly crazy games get made and what nuance of Japanese culture explains their popularity.
If you could contribute your insight on 6 or 7 games, even if it is just 2 or 3 sentences each, it would make all the difference. I would happily link to this blog or whatever you'd like attention on. These articles typically do 300,000 - 500,000 hits in the first few days and into a million if they are popular, so hopefully it would be worthwhile exposure for you.
Please let me know if you'd be interested.

What to expect in the first consultation?
The consultation duration is one hour.
After the preliminary registration and signing of consent form, a detailed history taking of the present and past complaints would be made. The patient is expected to inform about any medication taken. E.g. Blood thinners etc.
Pulse would be checked in both the wrists followed by tongue observation. These help in assessing the imbalances in the body.
After eliciting detail history, a short treatment session would be included if time permits.
Kindly reach at least 5 minutes before the appointment time so that the allotted one hour is used productively.
What should I bring when I come for the first consultation?
Please bring your old medical records and the list of medication if any.
How should one come prepared for an acupuncture treatment?
It is advisable to have a light meal. Avoid a heavy meal and never come on an empty stomach. Do not consume alcohol prior to the treatment.
The acupuncture needles are filiform needles (very thin). The patient can feel slight sharpness when the needles are being inserted. With expert needling technique, this could be minimised. There after the patient experiences some heaviness, tingling, numbness with the arrival of the ‘De Qi’ sensation.
Many patients can feel instant reduction of pain to complete relief of pain when the balancing points are needled.
The sessions are interactive. Patient will be asked to move the painful part / joint for the energy to reach the affected area.
For example: If the patient comes with a low back pain, he / she will be asked to walk right after inserting the needles in the arm, to check if the pain is reducing.
After this they can lie on the table comfortably and relax or even take a short nap if possible with some relaxing music.
The needles are removed. If needed the patient is sent home with ear press seeds or special ear needles. This provides continued stimulation of the acupuncture points, even after the patient leaves the practice.
What to do and expect after going home following a session?
It is advisable to stay indoors and keep the body warm. Have a cup of warm tea.
Each person reacts differently after the treatment session. Some feel the pain reducing further and reach a level zero. For some it stays at the same reduced level and for others even a bit of aggravation.
All these reactions are normal. There is nothing to worry about. But one could always reach me through SMS / mail if absolutely necessary.
What is the frequency of treatment needed?
It depends on the pain level with which the patient comes for the treatment. For severe pain it is advisable to have at least 2 treatment sessions in a week till the pain goes down / away. This is because every repeated session has an additive effect on the previous session. Thereafter it could be reduced to 1 session a week. The treatment plan is made to suit each person. One should bear in mind that long term pain conditions will need more sessions.
Can I stop the treatment with just a few sessions if I find good relief?
No. It is always best to come for a few more sessions as maintenance to prevent recurrence.
Is acupuncture suitable only for painful conditions?
No. It can also help in functional problems like hot flushes, stress, allergic reactions, and several other conditions. Unlike painful conditions, in functional disorders, the patient begins to experience relief of symptoms only after a minimum of 4 to 8 sessions.
Evaluation is done at the beginning of every session and subsequent treatments will be planned accordingly. Adhering to the advice given on life style changes and dietary habits would help achieve better results.
Can I continue my medicines when I have acupuncture?
Yes. On no account should the regular medication for systemic diseases should to be stopped. You should always discuss with your GP or Specialist before stopping any medicines. Acupuncture is a complimentary medicine that helps the healing process.
The number of sessions needed varies. It depends on the duration of the problem and individual’s healing response. The effect of balance method acupuncture has a cumulative effect with successive treatments.
What is Balance method distal needling?
As opposed to traditional acupuncture, the balance method distal needling treats pain and other functional issues by placing the needles away from the affected part. The patient can experience the reduction in pain instantly.
Cancellation should be made 24 hours prior to your appointment.
We appreciate your prompt arrival to scheduled appointments.

The Commander of the VI Division Reported: Novograd-Volynsk was taken at dawn today.
the highroad from Brest to Warsaw built by Nicholas I upon the bones of peasants.
You know it. It’s a familiar story. Create a threat, then demonize, then destroy. And you also know about ALLAH’S BOYS, the so-called freedom fighters from all over the Arab world organized by that bastion of freedom and human rights, Turkey. These war whores, who do America’s sordid bidding clearly are war criminals. See their rampage throughout North Africa. See how the elegant, enlightened Hatay region of southern Turkey has been transformed into a thieves market overrun by these unsavory characters in the employ of lily-white America.
These criminals are run out of a command and control bordello in Adana, probably inside Incirlik Air Base, itself an imperialist payback squeezed out of Turkey for failing to enter World War II. (See Wikpedia regarding the Second Cairo Conference in December 1943 for details.) The manager of this international catastrophe seems to be the head of the US Consulate in Adana, one Daria Darnell, a woman with little apparent experience in such bloody matters. But then Hillary Clinton had little experience in such matters and look at her.
That America is financing and managing a massive campaign to destroy Syria is no secret. That the Turkish government is helping this criminal cause is no secret. That the current Turkish government’s unparalleled expertise in destruction (see my earlier writings) is being used to, first, destroy the economy of southern Turkey (probably out of stupid inadvertence), and second, to slavishly cater to any and all so-called American strategic interests is well and widely known. It is Hitlerian in its murderous scope and shamelessness. Seig heil, Obama! Seig heil, Erdoğan! The garbage being spewed that Saudi Arabia, that bastion of women’s rights, is bringing freedom to Syria are the ravings of lunatics, more particularly, shameless propagandists. And Qatar, a filthy rich Arab de facto protectorate of the United States, cowering under the US military presence, is desperate to protect its oil and gas.
But more disgusting is that these gangsters are widely proclaimed as oh-so-pious Muslims. So they are no doubt well aware of their Koranic verses, in particular that “it is unlawful for a believer to kill another believer” (4:92). Of course they are doing just that, such is their shameless hypocrisy. Literally “whited sepulchres” (Jesus’ phrase for hypocrites (Matthew 23:27) in another holy book). They are the political war whores of America who, if you believe the Koran, “shall burn in Hell forever." (4:93).
If there is any justice in this world may these gangsters hasten to it, so we may live long and peacefully.

Sheet piling is a process where thin interlocking steel sheets are used to construct a continuous barrier in the ground. They can be used for various purposes and be of permanent or temporary nature.
In most cases, sheet piled walls are used as a temporary shoring method, which allows excavation either in or beside a sheet piled area, to allow personnel and equipment safely into an area that would otherwise not be achievable.
Sheet piling can also be used as a barrier to fill up against, for temporary roads and pads etc.
Sheet piled retaining walls are often reinforced by use of internal propping, bracing, anchors or whalers. It is possible to remove and reuse sheet piles making this an economically attractive retaining wall system.

The C-Lon® Tex 400 Bead Cord is a heavyweight cord with diameter of 0.9mm (just a breath under 1mm with my calipers). As its siblings, the C-Lon Bead Cord (standard weight cord), C-Lon Fine Weight Bead Cord (Tex 135) and the C-Lon Micro Cord (extra fine cord), it is a bonded 3 ply twisted multi-filament thread. A 75 lb breaking strength should guarantee long-lasting creations for micro macrame, stringing beads and other techniques such as bead crochet, finger weaving, kumihimo, tatting as well as many other uses where a strong bonded nylon is required. The C-Lon Tex 400 Bead Cord fits through most 4mm gemstone beads, Miyuki 8/0s once with a self needle and it passes easily twice through Miyuki 6/0s.
Personal Note - Many times I have wished for a cord heavier than the Nylon #18 and C-Lon Bead Cord. Until now I often made my own cord, an extra step, when needing a thicker cord. The C-Lon Tex 400 Bead Cord will provide us with new design possibilities. It knots very well for micro macrame. The thread is gorgeous by itself; it has a beautiful sheen.

A parent’s remarriage can be a confusing event to a child. In many cases, the child forms an unbreakable bond with the new stepparent, and the issues of name change and adoption may arise. This situation commonly occurs in families in which the child has little or no contact with one of the biological parents or paternity has not been established and the stepparent wishes to adopt the child.
File a petition with your county's Clerk of Court that states your intent to change the child's name and shows acknowledgment of procedure and laws governing name change of a minor child.
Sign consent and acknowledgment forms in the presence of a notary public, and have the forms notarized to make them legally binding in the state where you reside. The Clerk of Court provides these forms when you file your name change petition. Forms can also be downloaded from your state government’s website. During the name change process, an attorney is not needed or required, but you may hire one if you so desire.
File all forms with the Clerk of Court. Make sure that all forms submitted are filled out completely and that you retain copies of them for your personal records.
Request that all documentation stating the intent of name change be served to the other biological parent. Contact your county's probate judge or local sheriff's department to accomplish this task. In some states, the Clerk of Court will do this once your petition has been filed. If you are unable to locate the other parent, place an ad in your local newspaper's legal section that commands the parent to answer your petition within 30 days.
Schedule a hearing with the Clerk of Court once the 30-day answer period has expired or the other parent has filed an answer with the Clerk of Court. Gather all paperwork necessary for the court hearing, such as your marriage certificate and the child’s birth certificate. DNA paperwork that establishes paternity should also be taken with you, along with proof of child support, paid or unpaid.
File the final order once you are granted the name change. Request a copy of the order for your records and for filing with the Social Security Administration and your state's vital records department. You can have the child's name legally changed on his birth certificate as well, but it is not mandatory.

Core systems continue to receive the lion’s share of new technology budgets for insurance carriers with the biggest portion focused on maintaining current systems, according to Jeffrey Goldberg, vice president, research and consulting for Novarica.
That’s good news for the industry in general, concedes Goldberg, but on the flip side, the cost and time to implement a new core system keeps going up and he sees more push-back coming from both the vendor and insurance community.
shorten the time to delivery,” he says.
Replacing core systems is different today than it will be in the future. Insurers are replacing system that are 20-plus-years- old. Carriers got a long life out of those systems, but Goldberg doesn’t believe anyone today thinks the modern systems they are now implementing are going to last 20 or 30 years.
The pace of technological change has increased and the feeling is modern systems are not going to be the same systems insurers will use in another 10 years.
environment keeps insurance carriers bouncing back and forth like a ping-pong ball.
ing around for a new vendor,” says Goldberg.
Goldberg believes it is the responsibility of the vendors to see that their clients are up-to-date with current platforms, because if upgrading their system is going to cost $2 million and take nine months, the insurer might as well shop around for a brand new solution.
Insurers also must consider the lifespan of any new software they put into place as they look at implementation scheduling.
that will have to be part of the IT budget.
Secondly, the problem with maintaining a legacy system is it usually means maintaing the status quo. If a carrier wants to add a new product or change the rating model, it requires developers up to six months to write new code and dive into the legacy system, test the impact, and get it into production.
The multi-channel approach to distribution is another reason to replace core systems. Goldberg believes it is fine to keep a legacy system as long as the carrier is selling legacy products to legacy customers through a legacy process. But if insurers want to sell new products, reach new customers, and want to do business in new ways, that’s when they need a modern system.
Insurers that aren’t quite ready to replace their legacy system, will do what Goldberg calls “surround and modernize.” They will bring in new components, such as rating, underwriting, and portals. The back-end core system remains their legacy system and they can keep that system in place until they finish off the conversion. The modern system then takes over.

INDEPENDENCE, Minnesota — A west-suburban law enforcement agency is permanently outfitting its officers with lightweight cameras mounted on their handguns, marking them among the first in the state to adopt the homegrown technology amid calls for transparency in police shootings.
Gary Kroells, the police chief for the West Hennepin County Safety Department, which serves Independence and Maple Plain, said that each of his 10 officers will carry the weapon-mounted cameras at a cost of $7,200 — significantly less expensive than body cameras. The department tried out the cameras for the past year as part of a pilot project. A few months ago, the Farmington Police Department began carrying the devices.
The 3.2-ounce, 3-inch long camera sits in front of the trigger and activates video and audio as soon as an officer pulls the gun from the holster. The gun camera comes with a flashlight to illuminate targets in the dark.
The cameras are sold by Viridian Weapon Technologies of Maple Plain. It is one of several companies in the United States now marketing gun-mounted cameras to law enforcement agencies. President and CEO Brian Hedeen said 250 departments across the country are testing or working on implementing the cameras, while 10 agencies, including in Arizona and South Carolina, have fully implemented them.
Hedeen said the company began researching the technology soon after the 2014 fatal police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., which caused widespread unrest. Such cameras may have cleared up the controversies surrounding the highly publicized shootings of individuals by police in recent years, including in Minnesota. Last month, Minneapolis city officials released body camera footage in the fatal police shooting of Thurman Blevins the day before the officers were cleared of wrongdoing. St. Paul officials have also pledged to release body camera footage in the shooting of William “Billy” Hughes. Last year, there were no body cameras or dash cameras activated in the fatal shooting of Justine Damond by Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor, who was later charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.
“It’s not going to capture traffic stops and things like that, but if officer-involved shootings are something that a department wants to capture, this is the best tool,” Hedeen said.
Kroells said body cameras were “not cost effective,” estimating that buying and operating them for his department would run about $40,000, most of it for collecting and storing the vast amounts of video on a cloud service. He said the department already has audio devices on officers’ uniforms and cameras on the department’s squad cars. The department has never had an officer-involved shooting, he said.
Hedeen said that’s the allure of his company’s technology. Once purchased, there’s no incremental cost.
Ben Feist, legislative director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota, said that in critical incidents it’s important to have as many video records as possible, but that gun cameras should complement body cameras rather than replacing them.
Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Police Executive Research Forum, a national law enforcement think tank, also said context is important in what footage is gathered.
“To me its important to know what choices the officer had before he drew the gun,” he said.
Matthew Plowman, Viridian’s general counsel, said while it’s not a scientific study, he had reviewed 100 to 150 cases of officer-involved shootings in 2016 and 2017. In more than half the cases, there was no incident to review before the gun being drawn. He said some of the communities that bought the company’s cameras also had body cameras for their officers. Hedeen said the devices have not yet captured an officer-involved shooting.
Herman Nixon, chief of the 14-member police department in Williams, Ariz., said last year that he got interested in the cameras after one of his lieutenants saw them at a firearms expo in Las Vegas.
Nixon said at the time that his department has not had an officer-involved shooting since 2003, but his officers usually have to draw their guns two or three times a month.

I recently heard a Christian brother ask this same question at a storytelling festival. Have you ever thought about the phrase, “…and Jesus stretched out His hand?” Truthfully, I had not.
But since I am a visual learner, I had mentally painted numerous pictures of Him at the Bethesda pool inviting a crippled man to his feet. On another occasion Jesus reached up from the mud toward a blind man’s eyes and restored his sight. He also gently touched an unconscious girl and commanded her to awaken from her lifeless coma. There were loaves and fish to serve, bread to break, and wine to pour. He used His rough carpenter hands to touch people’s lives. Every time Jesus extended His open hand, He invited their response.
“Do you want to be well?” He asked.
Many accepted His invitation. All who responded received healing, deliverance, and forgiveness!
Father, glorify Yourself in me.
It wasn’t until Bill recently asked me about “suffering” that I recognized the fullness of Jesus’ invitation when He extended His hand to me. It was far from hospitable and pleasurable.
We all have our perspectives about the sufferings of Jesus. Usually people automatically think of His crucifixion and the natural pain of scourging and the horror of being nailed to a cross. He thirsted for water but was given gall on a sponge. It’s said that in order to breathe, He used His spiked feet to leverage His body up enough to inhale.
These examples can hardly describe the depth of His physical agonies. Consider the emotional and mental anguish that terrorized Him in advance. So much so, that He sweat drops of blood in the Garden of Gethsemane. What about the incessant mocking? False accusations and a close friend’s betrayal? The judicial interrogations, the disciple’s abandonment and His own family’s unbelief? What about His Father who rejected Him because God couldn’t bear to look at sin? Our sin….my sin.
Your afflictions may be a terminal diagnosis, chronic physical pain; a lawsuit, office politics or slander in social media; the death of a loved one, a separation, divorce or the absence of a friend when you need them most. Many personal distresses in life are the crimes others commit against us and dealing with the consequences is an ongoing reality. In my past, I found it difficult to admit the crimes against me were self-inflicted wounds from the poor choices I had made. More evil was an enemy that continually assaulted me with temptations to unbelief that God or anyone, for that matter, really cared.
My life genuinely changed when I discovered an authentic fellowship with the person of Jesus. Now I understand, if only in part. The fullness of accepting His outstretched hand does include suffering. More importantly, responding consistently in faith, trusting and obeying, no matter the circumstances or outcome, matures and sustains my relationship with the Lover of my soul. This is the marvelous mystery of a life in Christ and Christ in me. A well of Living water that I’m invited to drink from and I "get to" pour out to others.
“Have you ever considered the times when Jesus stretched out His hand to you?” He waits with open ears that hear your every prayer. He waits with open eyes that see every tear. He waits with an open heart that feels your every wound. He longs to grasp your life with the mighty grip of His outstretched hand.
With an outstretched hand, He is waiting for you.... to choose.
How will you respond to His invitation?

Life is broadly defined as the condition of an organism that exhibits growth through metabolism, reproduction, and adaptation to its environment. These characteristics separate living organisms from inanimate objects.
The cell is the basic unit of life, and an organism must be composed of at least one cell to qualify as a living thing.
The cells of every living organism contain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nucleic acid that holds the genetic instructions for the development and functioning of a life form. It is this substance that allows a living thing to grow and reproduce.
DNA was first discovered in 1869 by Swiss physician Friedrich Miescher who noticed a microscopic substance in the pus on discarded bandages. The substance was later identified as DNA.
A virus straddles the definition of life and, according to scientific definition, is not technically alive. It is composed simply of DNA and ribonucleic acid (RNA) strands surrounded by a protein shell and requires a host cell to metabolize and reproduce. When not within a host cell, a virus lies dormant and is nothing more than a static organic particle.
Scientists estimate the earth is about 4.5 billions years old and first began to support life forms approximately 3.7 billion years ago.
While scientists universally believe that naturally occurring amino acids were mediated by nucleic acids to create the first life forms on Earth, the question of how nucleic acids originated from inanimate matter is still being studied today. There is no definitive answer yet as to the origin of life on Earth.
Throughout history, two dominant theories of the origin of life on Earth have prevailed. Abiogenesis, a theory that is now widely discredited, holds that life was and is spontaneously generated from decaying organic matter. The theory of biogenesis, on the other hand, maintains that new life is produced from existing life forms.
The oldest living things on Earth are believed to be single-cell prokaryotes, more commonly known as bacteria. Scientists have discovered fossils of such prokaryotes from roughly 3.5 billion years ago.
Plant life began on the Earth’s landforms about 430 millions years ago. The first plants were likely single-celled organisms distantly related to algae.
The first reptiles began life 300 million years ago, and modern mammals appeared roughly 75 millions years ago.
Apes originated on Earth about 35 million years ago, and the first apelike men appeared about 10 million years ago. The modern human species of Homo sapien has existed on the earth for only 100,000 years.
Scientists believe that Earth will exist for another 7.5 billion years before the sun becomes a red giant star and, in all probability, destroys the planet. Earth may cease to support life forms far before that date, however, due to increased energy output from the sun over time.
Living organisms are divided into two basic domains: prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Eukaryotes, to which humans belong, have a cellular structure with a nucleus and membrane-bound genetic information, while the cells of prokaryotes do not contain a nucleus.
Today, all identified living organisms are scientifically named and categorized according to Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus’s taxonomy. In his 1758 publication, Systema Naturae, Linnaeus divided and classified different living organisms with a ranking scale: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
Scientists estimate that anywhere from five million to 100 million unique species of plants and animals currently live on Earth. However, only about two million of these species have been identified.
Insect species account for 950,000 of the two million identified species on Earth.
There are nearly 300,000 different species of plants currently living on Earth.
The theory of evolution, which explains how living things change over time through natural selection, was first publicized by Charles Darwin in 1859. Many scientists now point to this natural phenomenon as the reason behind Earth’s great biodiversity.
Worldwide, there are currently just over 6.7 billion people living in the world. The population of males is slightly higher than females (3.41 billion compared to 3.37 billion).
According to a 2008 report, the average life expectancy in the world as a whole is 66.26 years.
The average life expectancy ranges throughout the world from a high of 84.36 years in Macau to just 31.88 years in the African nation of Swaziland. Experts attribute the low life expectancy in many African countries to high rates of HIV/AIDS infection.
The oldest documented person on record is Jeanne Calment, a Frenchwoman who lived for 122 years and 164 days. The oldest person still alive today is 114-year-old Gertrude Baines of the U.S.
Scientists have yet to discover a sign of extraterrestrial life, but the discovery of planets outside of our solar system with habitable climates is a promising indication of life outside Earth.

Munich (Germany) April 23, 2013 – Test specialist RUETZ SYSTEM SOLUTIONS announces the availability of TTsuite 1.3.0, the newly enhanced version of the well-proven and easy-to-use test platform. The qualified system integrator for automotive data communication has added several features such as seamless IP protocol based testing and the creation of test cases out of capture files. In addition, an extended test development kit (TDK) is available. "With more and more IP based applications making their way into the car, we support car makers in adapting their in-car communication networks to the growing requirements," said Wolfgang Malek, General Manager and Co-founder of RUETZ SYSTEM SOLUTIONS. "The rising complexity of automotive networks and applications demands broader, improved testing in order to achieve high quality and compliance." The new TTsuite 1.3.0 allows IP based scenarios to be simply generated by using IP protocol stacks in parallel with the recognized MOST® protocol. The user-friendly and comfortable test system supports all commonly used IP protocols and description languages. Use cases in the automotive, consumer and telecommunication industries include, for example, Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) requirements.
TTsuite 1.3.0 performs testing of the robust IP protocol stacks using the MOST Ethernet packet (MEP) and MOST data packet (MDP) channels of the in-car network. TTsuite offers several plugins for commonly used IP protocol support such as TCP, UDP, FTP, HTTP, and SOAP. IP based test scenarios can easily be created by using these protocol stacks in parallel with the well-known MOST protocol. Moreover, the support of common type description languages like IDL, Protobuf and ASN.1 adds various possibilities for managing complex communication scenarios in a very comfortable way. Since encoding and decoding is completely independent of the data transportation, the protocols can be easily combined and sent over ports such as the MDP or MEP channels in the MOST network.
A new feature of TTsuite 1.3.0 simplifies testing even further by adding an easy-to-use capture and replay wizard. It is now possible to easily create complete test scenarios out of Wireshark pcap (packet capture) capture files. The benefit for users is that no programming skills are required. Multiple capture sources are supported. Test authoring is done quickly and easily. The simulation allows the analysis of real-world situations. Users may flexibly create their test configurations out of selected scenarios and decide which communication peers shall be tested or simulated.
RUETZ SYSTEM SOLUTIONS provides an expanded Test Development Kit (TDK) with various opportunities for automation in the areas of physical layer, network, system behavior, and application for a smooth start to test projects. The added features ease the derivation of tests out of dynamic specifications. Whenever new test cases need to be derived out of message sequence charts (MSC), the Test Development Kit meets this challenge, providing an excellent solution. Performing default routines for error and timeout handling make test specifications purport to be like the original MSC but behave like a tester. With this behaviour being contrary to the ECU's target, the tester provokes a stress scenario for the ECU.

Car Tune Up: Did You Make It A New Year's Resolution?
Need a Car Tuneup in the New Year?
If you're noticing that your car needs a little more attention than usual, it may need a car tune up. Make it a New Year's resolution to give your car the care it needs. You may think your vehicle runs well, but your auto mechanic can inform you of what is happening in all the little-hidden places of your vehicle. This article explains how a diagnostic test on your vehicle can help with a tune up.
#1: How Does The Diagnostic Tune Up Work?
When you bring in your vehicle at the appointed time, the mechanic will attach a diagnostic computer directly to your vehicle's computer. It will scan all the components and the results can be printed and used as a guide for any needed service or repair. It could be just a small adjustment that's needed, or a major repair could be revealed.
A tune up will restore power and performance back to your vehicle. The vehicle's engine may be adjusted to increase available power, or you may change parts in the engine that will increase power. Your mechanic will help ensure that your car is putting out as many horsepowers as possible.
You may have your vehicle tuned up to pass an emissions inspection with a simple adjustment to ensure it puts out less toxic fumes. The catalytic converter may be fitted with new mechanisms, and you may have a muffler fitted that reduces now.
Every service for your vehicle in the new year will improve its overall quality, as well as increase driving safety.
Wondering if your car needs a tune up? Contact our ASE Certified technicians at Kestner Automotive today for more information about car tune up services and to schedule an appointment. Our auto shop proudly serves residents in Columbia, SC, and the surrounding area.
