When you think about the 2018 Cadillac CTS-V, you better think about power and speed, or else you will be thinking wrong. This car is made to be heard and feared, made to be different in every aspect and made to be recognized. There so matter whether you see it or hear it, you will know it, it is a Caddy. In this review we are going to mention a thing or two of everything we know about the mighty 2018 Cadillac CTS-V.
2018 Cadillac CTS-V Engine and Specs
This, 2018 Cadillac CTS-V engine is the highest caliber machine they have ever made. This is 6.2 liter supercharged V8 with 640 HP and 630 lb-ft of torque. It is practically two cars in one. In one hand it is a luxury, modern automobile and in the other a track ready muscle car machine. It goes from 0-60 in 3.7 seconds and reaches the maximum speed of 200 mph which has been achieved before in the production Cadillac. It is an wet sunk, LT4 engine.
It has titanium intake valves for light weight response, active fuel management (it can run in 4 cylinder and full eight cylinders mode). In the basic model, you will get high performance brake system, for which you don't have to pay extra money. Transmission is eight speed automatic with manual shifting mode. Fuel economy will be what you can already expect from the vehicle of this caliber, which is 14 mpg in city and 22 mpg on a highway.
2018 Cadillac CTS-V Exterior
2018 Cadillac CTS-V exterior has not changed a lot since the last version. The fenders are unique because of wider front track, hood is made of carbon fiber with the hood extractor to reduce the frontal lift and to give an extra cooling effect to the engine. Grille has also been changed and the new one has 50% more airflow.
The side blinds that are always on alert and look beautiful, rear cross traffic alert. To protect the carbon fiber lower splitter, there are curved view cameras in the front that come with carbon fiber package, that automatically warn you on a central console how close are you to the curb. You don't want to damage that lower splitter.
2018 Cadillac CTS-V Interior
Every 2018 Cadillac CTS-V interior surface has been made to enhance the driving experience. Steering wheel has unique shape available in microsuede trim, shifter has been also covered with microsuede trim. Standard seats can be adjusted in 20 directions and are quite good, but there is another version of seats also available. Those are Recaro seats which are race ready, covered with leather and microsuede.
You can expect all the gadgets you can think of. From head-up display to rear and front camera on central display and high-end sound system.
2018 Cadillac CTS-V Release Date and Price
Some predictions say that 2018 Cadillac CTS-V release date will be in august of this year, and the price will be around 85,000 dollars.

A Plan for Making a Financial Plan
Many Americans do some planning but don't get it all done. We spell out what it takes to build a comprehensive financial plan—from budgeting to insurance and wills.
You don't need to hire a financial planner—or have a lot of money—to have a financial plan.
Those who set goals and have a clear plan for their financial future spend their money more effectively and save more than those who don't, and they are more confident in their abilities.
Many people try to get there, but they often aren't very thorough...

Funding for exchange can be burdensome for students since they have no income.
If you're looking for ways to earn money while studying, you should read How Do You Get To Travel So Much As A Student? That post details many different ways you can earn money part-time while studying full-time.
Whether you are well on your way to a school exchange or study abroad programme in the coming months, or are contemplating whether you should bother spending a bomb on a semester abroad, you've stumbled on the right page.
In various posts, I share why travelling as a student presents some of the best opportunities to travel.
There are many ways you can fund for exchange, from saving up prior to your big trip, to sourcing good travel websites that offer amazing discounts and even little ways that can help you save along the way during your trip.
Read: To Outbound Exchange Students
Below shows 4 other ways that make funding for exchange more manageable.
4 ways to fund for exchange
1. Go for cheap ticket deals.
So I took a shot at Malaysia Airlines on my flight from Singapore, at the peak of recovering from their crisis blow about the missing plane in 2014 (which is still missing). Seriously. The flight tickets were half the price of the second cheapest airline ticket available then. This amounted to less than SGD500 for a one-way ticket.
Not only was my flight so smooth I was in deep sleep most of the journey to Paris, I had a whole row of seat to myself (which also explained why I slept so well.)

2. Apply for your school's exchange scholarships!
You never know your chances of obtaining one, even if your grades are mediocre. I tried, and just when I least I expected it, I received a scholarship valued at $5,000 by an anonymous donor!
I am so beyond thankful on so many levels. This just goes to show that you shouldn't assume, and you shouldn't stop trying.
3. Record your expenses.
I keep a record of my expenses – every single one of it. By classifying your expenditure, this provides an overview of where and what you are spending on, allowing you to better regulate your expenses.
Click here to get a copy of this expense sheet to track your expenses!
4. Cook your own meals!
I was really looking forward to cooking my meals because I have never had the chance to take full control of the kitchen (Mum's territory) while I was at home, living with my family.
Now that I'm on exchange, grocery shopping and cooking are under my purview.
Through the first few weeks of living in my dorm, I realised that I can cover the meals in a day at a mere cost of SGD2-4.
That is 3 meals under SGD5 PER DAY!
Because of this, I've researched quite a number of recipe hacks, such as one that can allow me to throw all my ingredients into a pot, or 5-minute meals. I could even prepare my meals in advance to bring to school, and that's money saved from spending on school food again.

Writing great web content for your business is one the most important things that you can do. The content that you write is an ambassador for your business and if you don't create error-free and engaging content, then your website visitors will not trust your business.
Your competitors know this too, as demonstrated by the 63 million posts that were created in August 2016, using WordPress or its Jetpack plugin. So, with so many people writing content, it is essential that you write great web content that stands out.
The content you write must flow and follow best web writing practices. When writing you should avoid common mistakes such as the comma splice and run-on sentence.
When uncertainty about capitalisation, spelling or grammar kicks in, it is best to simply Google it.
If you want to write good web content for business, then it is essential to become a researcher. Content that is well researched, informative and full of detail will get shared more.
In a nutshell, preparation is the key and writing is the easy part.
However, it is important to understand that quantity isn't quality. Constantly creating new content for your business's website is only good if that content is in-depth and avoids needless repetition. In many cases it is better to strengthen existing content.
It is important to remember that the content that your write is for humans. This means that the content needs to be digestible and you can check this by reading back the content you have written.
Blog posts and articles need to engage the reader and where appropriate this can be achieved by including personal elements or by using humour, wit or clever references.
If you want to write good web content then it is also important to keep the reading level low. Using fancy vocabulary or using three words where one would suffice, turns off readers and is a negative factor in Google's ranking algorithm.
Understanding your audience is key if you intend to engage them. You should consider who you are writing for and why. Google Analytics can help you to hone your skills by giving you a deeper understanding of the people interacting with your brand online.
Social media can be used to give your business a voice with existing customers, new customers and soon-to-be customers. Sharing posts and seeing how they perform on social media will give you an insight into the future writing you should do.
Using good SEO basics will not only help your business perform better in SERPs but will also help your content catch the eye of potential readers.
You should apply proper headings and subheadings, tag images correctly and write an eye-catching meta description. While you need to understand what keywords to focus on, it is also important to include them naturally. In short, it is not wise to write a sentence simply so that you can include a keyword or phrase.
SEO is a constantly changing beast so remember to adopt beneficial changes and don't be resistant to change.

Some years ago there was a movie that featured John Travolta and Nick Cage called "Face Off". It was a fictional yarn about a cop that had his face removed and the bad guy's face transplanted in it's place so that he could impersonate the buy guy.
Of course, that was just a story. The bad guy was one of those that was one diet pill short of a bottle (translation, he was a freakin loon!) and wasn't about to cooperate and of course, things went south fast.
Now I am not a hamster, I know that things even now still can't be done the way they were in the movie, but there IS a case of a Cleveland, Ohio woman that has recently been the recipient of an actual face transplant.
This kind of surgery is obviously still in it's infancy but it still leaves me wondering what they'll try to transplant next. Will we yet have a modern Dr. Frankenstein transplanting human brains?

GOD inspirable humble and righteous words about our "Neighbors", Bring peace, mercy, and the truth of LOVE one another as your brothers and sisters.
Leviticus 19:18
Love Your Neighbor
17, 'You shall not hate your fellow countryman in your heart; you may surely reprove your neighbor, but shall not incur sin because of him.
18, You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the LORD.
19, 'You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together.
James 2:8
A Warning against Favoritism,
7, Are they not the ones who blaspheme the noble Name by which you have been called?
8, If you really keep the royal law stated in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing well.
9, But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressor.
10, Whoever keeps the whole Law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it
Proverbs 6:3
Warnings against Foolishness
2, If you have been snared with the words of your mouth, Have been caught with the words of your mouth,
3, Do this then, my son, and deliver yourself; Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor, Go, humble yourself, and importune your neighbor.
4, Give no sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids;
5, Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hunter's hand And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Leviticus 6:2
1, Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2, "When a person sins and acts unfaithfully against the LORD, and deceives his companion in regard to a deposit or a security entrusted to him, or through robbery, or if he has extorted from his companion,
3, or has found what was lost and lied about it and sworn falsely, so that he sins in regard to any one of the things a man may do;
Deuteronomy 23:25
24, "When you enter your neighbor's vineyard, then you may eat grapes until you are fully satisfied, but you shall not put any in your basket.
25, "When you enter your neighbor's standing grain, then you may pluck the heads with your hand, but you shall not wield a sickle in your neighbor's standing grain.
Deuteronomy 5:21
20, 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
21, You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, and you shall not desire your neighbor's house, his field or his male servant or his female servant, his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.'
22, "These words the LORD spoke to all your assembly at the mountain from the midst of the fire, of the cloud and of the thick gloom, with a great voice, and He added no more. He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.
Psalm 28:3
The Lord is My Strengt
2, Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
3, Do not drag me away with the wicked And with those who work iniquity, Who speak peace with their neighbors, While evil is in their hearts.
4Requite them according to their work and according to the evil of their practices; Requite them according to the deeds of their hands; Repay them their recompense.

Finding funds to support implementation and maintenance of AED (automated external defibrillation) programs in the community is easier than many people realize. The first step is to estimate projected program costs. Annual costs can include the following:
The next step is to determine whether costs can be funded directly through community or agency budgets. This is the simplest, most direct approach and it may be all you will need to do. For example, a city council that has been educated about the serious public health problem of sudden cardiac arrest and the need for prompt universal access to defibrillation may simply vote to include AED program implementation costs in the next budget cycle.
If AED program costs cannot be funded directly, it is necessary to explore alternative funding sources, such as:
Local corporations and industry provide funding through corporate giving programs and company-sponsored foundations. Companies with a national headquarters in the local community frequently are one of the best sources of funds. Other potential targets are companies that provide healthcare products and services.
Corporate giving programs are usually directed to programs that benefit employees and communities where they live. They enable businesses to deduct up to 10 percent of pretax income for charitable donations. Often, all it takes to find funds is to write a one-page concept letter to key decision-makers, follow up with phone calls and offer to meet personally with potential corporate donors. For potential corporate funding sources, see Corporate Grantmakers at www.fdncenter.org [1]
Company-sponsored foundations are dedicated to community service projects.
Many civic organizations have giving programs dedicated to community service and health projects. Examples include:
Typically, the most effective approach is to identify the local chapter of the national organization.
Private foundations are non-governmental, non-profit organizations with a principal fund maintained to serve the common good. Private foundations typically award grants to tax-exempt, non-profit organizations. This permits contributions to be tax deductible.
There are literally thousands of private foundations interested in funding community service projects. To find a private foundation likely to support your community AED program, contact the Foundation Center. The Foundation Center is an information clearinghouse that has established cooperating centers throughout the United States, usually located in public libraries in major cities (www.fdncenter.org [7]).
Hospital foundations are another source of funding that should be considered. Most hospitals have a foundation interested in funding local projects designed to enhance the health and well-being of local residents. For information, contact area hospitals.
Public charities are philanthropic organizations that derive their funds from contributions from the general public. Public charities generally provide grants to non-profit organizations. For potential targets, see The National Directory of Grantmaking Public Charities, available through the Foundation Center (www.fdncenter.org [7]).
People who have survived sudden cardiac arrest-and their friends and relatives-have been known to become generous benefactors of community AED programs. You may be pleasantly surprised by the kindness of local citizens once the need for an AED program is publicized in your community.
Some government agencies have dedicated funds set aside for community health projects and are poised to fund worthy projects with clear benefits.
For example, at a federal level, the Rural Access to Emergency Devices Act, or Rural AED Act, section 413(a) of the Public Health Improvement Act (Public Law 106-505) awards grants to community partnerships in rural areas for the purchase of AEDs and for AED training (http://ruralhealth.hrsa.gov/funding/aedact.htm [8]). Community partnerships are defined as a consortium of first responders (e.g., EMS, law enforcement and fire departments) and local non-profit entities such as long-term care facilities, rural health clinics, community health centers, post offices, libraries and other civic centers, athletic facilities, senior citizen and day care facilities, faith-based organizations and schools without AEDs.
At the state level, dedicated health funds sometimes are generated through taxes and fees from vehicle registration and drivers' licenses and speeding tickets. Contact your state EMS agency, state public health department and state congressional offices to determine whether such funds are available.
Many AED programs have been readily funded through town, city and county governments. Community health advocates have secured local government funds simply by making presentations at town, city or county council meetings that describe how an AED program could help save lives in the community and why such a program would be a fiscally sound investment. Political leaders are unlikely to oppose cost-effective programs that voters consider fundamental to community health and well-being. One community AED program was funded solely
through proceeds from the county jail commissary.
Many communities have been effective in raising funds for AED programs through traditional fund-raisers. While such efforts can be time-consuming and require a concerted team effort, they do work. Here are some suggestions:
Regardless of the funding option(s) you pursue, consider the following tips:
If your organization does not have tax-exempt nonprofit status, it may be advantageous to become affiliated with a nonprofit organization or consider forming one. This status provides a stronger incentive for potential donors, since donations to nonprofit organizations are tax deductible.
Resources for creating non-profit organizations are available through:
Some potential funding sources will require you to write a formal proposal. The proposal should be designed to convince reviewers not only that the proposed AED program is vitally important for your community, but also that it would make the best use of charitable dollars. (Remember, you are competing with other grant applicants.) Your proposal should be accompanied by a brief cover letter and should include the sections listed below:
As you develop your proposal, bear in mind that grantmakers will evaluate applications based on several key criteria:
It is essential to find financial support to get your AED program up and running. Many communities are able to obtain sufficient funds through agency or community budgets. Others must seek additional sources of funding. There are several sources to consider for additional funding: local corporations and industries, local civic organizations, private foundations, public charities, government grants and traditional fund-raisers. Many times, simple appeals, such as letters or presentations to community groups, may be all that is needed to generate funds. Other times, more extensive efforts may be required. Communities need not be intimidated by the funding process. Educational resources to help communities raise funds abound. And, there are plentiful financial resources available to support community service projects such as AED programs. Communities should be patient, persistent and positive in the pursuit of funding for AED programs.

Pennsylvania Gun Laws
Pennsylvania Gun Laws are based on the Article 1, Section 21 of the Pennsylvania State Constitution which reads, "The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned."
In general, the rules and regulations of Pennsylvania Gun Laws are similar to the majority of states in the US. A permit to purchase, registration of firearms and licensing of owners are not required by the State's gun laws. However, a permit to carry should be in possession of a person who wishes to keep a handgun while in public places which are allowed by law.
Validity of Permits Issued Under Pennsylvania Gun Laws in Other Jurisdictions
Currently, there are 30 states that honor permits issued under Pennsylvania Gun Laws, these are:
- Alabama
- Alaska
- Arizona
- Arkansas
- Colorado
- Florida
- Georgia
- Idaho
- Indiana
- Iowa
- Kansas
- Kentucky
- Louisiana

Definition of Firearm Under Pennsylvania Gun Laws
Before proceeding to the key section of this article, it is important to understand first the definition of a "firearm" under Pennsylvania Gun Laws.
Based on the definition set forth by the State of Pennsylvania, a "firearm" is any pistol or revolver with a barrel that measures less than 15 inches. Any shotgun that has a barrel length of less than 18 inches, rifle with less than 16 inches barrel length, or a gun that has an overall length of less than 26 inches.
It should be noted though that some sections of the law has a broader definition for "firearms"which encompasses handguns, rifles and shotguns. If that is the case, the broad definition only applies to the section where it is used. So, when interpreting the statutes, it is important to note the distinction.
Key Provisions of Pennsylvania Gun Laws
In addition to the ones presented above, here is a brief discussion about the other main requirements and restrictions provided by Pennsylvania Gun Laws:
1. A licensed gun dealer is only allowed to sell or transfer a handgun while in his place of business or through the office of the county sheriff in the location of the person buying or acquiring the firearm.
2. An instant background check must be conducted prior to the transfer of a handgun, rifle or shotgun.
3. The person acquiring a handgun is required to sign the transfer application or record of sale.
4. A person is not required to sign a transfer application when the change in ownership is only within spouses, between a parent and a child, or between a grandparent and a grandchild. Law enforcement officials also do not need a transfer application when giving a gun to another law enforcement official. Rifles, shotguns or antique firearms are not covered by this requirement too.
5. A seller is not allowed to turn over a firearm with no locking mechanism to a buyer. An exemption to this is a transfer to a law enforcement officer by a dealer.
6. Transferring, giving or lending a handgun to another person is prohibited if the conditions provided in the previous items are not met unless the person is engaged in lawful hunting, participating in a firearm safety course or training, a member of a state-authorized competition involving handguns, or the loan or giving of a handgun is only within the acquirer's dwelling place or business establishment.
7. A person below 18 years of age is only allowed to carry a handgun if he is under the direct supervision of a competent and responsible adult above 21 years old.
8. Lawfully purchasing a rifle or shotgun in the states contiguous to Pennsylvania is permitted.
9. In addition to the previous items, a person is barred from possessing a firearm if he possessess any of the following disqualifying factors:
- Conviction of a crime of violence.
- He is a fugitive from law.
- He is a controlled substance offender with a punishment of more than two years.
- He is psychologically impaired or committed to a mental institution.
- Adjudicated as delinquent for an offense that would disqualify one from possessing firearm if committed by an adult.
- The individual is an illegal alien.
10. Carrying a firearm to school is prohibited unless the person in possession is participating in a school-sanctioned activitity involving a firearm.
11. It is unlawful to carry a firearm inside a court facility. A person who lawfully possesses a firearm is required to check it in to the authorized court personnel. This exempts law enforcement officials and persons authorized by the court to carry firearms.
12. Carrying a firearm in public without a license or without a valid reason for self defense is illegal. Again, this exempts law enforcement officials and government agency personnel who are sanctioned to carry firearms in public.
13. A license to carry should be in possession of a person who is keeping a firearm in his vehicle or has a firearm concealed within him. Exemptions from this requirement are the following individuals:
- A person who engages in lawful hunting, fishing, trapping or dog training, provided that he has a Sportman's Firearm Permit.
- Engaged in target shooting
- Possessing a firearm in his dwelling place or fixed place of business.
- Law enforcement officials or officials duly authorized by federal laws.
- Transporting a firearm to and from the home to a gun repair establishment, another property, or the place where a person is allowed by law to retrieve or surrender his firearm.
14. When transporting a firearm, it should be unloaded, stored in a safe container and the ammunition must be kept in a separate storage case.
15. When transporting a rifle or a shotgun, it must be unloaded.
16. A license-holder must be able to show his license upon the demand of a law enforcement official during inspections.
17. Unless in compliance to the requirements of the National Firearms Act, carrying a machine gun, suppressor, short-barrelled shotgun or short barrelled rifle is prohibited.
18. Possessing a firearm with altered, destroyed or unrecognizable markings is illegal. This does not apply to antique firearms though.
License to Carry Requirements
To be eligible for a license to carry, a person must fulfill the following conditions:
1. He must be of good moral character and not a threat to public safety.
2. Does not possess any of the disqualifying factors stated in the preceding section.
3. Not dishonorably discharged from the US Armed Forces.
4. Must be able to completely fill up all the forms, submit the additional documents and pay the fees required by the sheriff in the county or chief of police in the city where the applicant resides.
Pennsylvania Gun Laws reserve the regulation of firearms and ammunition to the State Legislature.

Been sifting through a pre-release The Greatest Words Ever Spoken: Everything Jesus Said About You, Your Life and Everything Else by Steven Scott. It is an incredible compilation on all the words of Christ when he walked the face of the earth two thousand years ago. It's broken up throughout the commentary sized book into 200 topics Jesus discussed with his disciples and with the crowds that followed him. It includes topics such as: what Jesus said about himself, what Jesus tells us about God the Father, all Jesus says about forgiveness of sins and life after death and hundreds more. It's a great way to get a comprehensive view on Christ's teachings, and containing only Scriptures, could be a great Bible study material for personal or group use. I highly recommend it!
It is available now. You can get it for cheap at amazon.com.

You damaged me,
Running into me that night.
Long ago laughing.
I embraced you on sight and,
I wasn't even nervous.
You cut into me,
There's no way from damage I —
Could recover now,
Hit by navy eyes,
Broken by your smile.
You made me bleed-out,
As we became much closer,
You were my steady–
Rock; my foundation solid,
I believed in you, in us.
You may as well have,
Torn out my heart from my chest,
Such trouble you gave,
Sipping kisses from my lips,
Arguing stopped; more blissing.
Your cure all for all,
The sadness, the splintered soul,
Holding me tight when,
Love's making halted a while,
Caring how you made me feel.
Your worst crime is your,
Deception; how I pass you —
And you see my eyes,
Smarting still from being blind,
Brittle pieces tapped together.
Stabbed by your bass voice,
Whispering pleas, in dark.
Searching for the truth.
Finding only that you killed me,
As you loved; the little death.
Smothering with fondness,
Never realizing love needs,
Space to grow, flourish.
Became suffocating your,
Word, your constant touch beloved.
I died inside with,
Prayers falling from lips you,
Bit last torrid night.
If space could give me freedom,
You'd agree, find the solution.
Should we continue,
Though I know you love me dear,
I'll die fast smothered,
Let us both relax in light.
You near, touching me, all times.
Let us both breathe from,
The days we both couldn't be,
Five seconds apart,
Let us be even closer,
Distance, draws a deeper love
Reflection as we,
Seek skin and curves and muscles.
Beautiful to be close.
Never ever far away,
Face in your neck; nooked near.

A reaction that produces a small number of different objects which are desired or which are easily deleted is said to be clean. For example, a puffer that produces just one object per period (such as blinker puffer 1) is clean. Clean reactions are useful because they can be used as building blocks in larger constructions.
When a fuse is said to be clean, or to burn cleanly, this usually means that no debris at all is left behind. Most useful fuses are clean, and some examples include beehive fuse and blinker fuse.
A reaction that is not clean is said to be dirty.

Are human rights and Islamic law compatible? Can Muslim States comply with international human rights law whilst adhering to Islamic law? In this fully updated volume, international human rights law is placed in dialogue with Islamic law, facilitating an evaluation of the human rights policy of modern Muslim States through an analysis of each article of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and relevant articles of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women in light of the Islamic legal tradition. International Human Rights and Islamic Law formulates a synthesis between what can be perceived as two extremes, arguing that although there are differences of scope and application, there is no fundamental incompatibility between these two bodies of law.
This volume concludes that it is possible to harmonise the differences between international human rights law and Islamic law through the adoption of the 'margin of appreciation' doctrine by international human rights treaty bodies and the utilization of the Islamic law doctrines of 'maqasid al-shari'ah' (the overall objective of Shari'ah) and 'maslahah' (welfare) by Muslim States in their interpretation and application of Islamic law respectively. Baderin asserts that Islamic law can serve as an important vehicle for the guarantee and enforcement of international human rights law in the Muslim world.

Sometimes I can do nothing. These last few days at Harvester Island, where everyone is working out on the ocean and on buildings, when so much of my own work calls me, I lie here languishing. It is just ordinary sick, and soon I will be able to eat and work again, but who wants to wait? I am falling behind in all that must be done. And here, in this place, wants to hear about sick-in-bed? Who wants photos of a pasty face on the ugly end of Ordinary? (Well, at least you only have to see one.)
So let me divert and show-and-tell you all I got done first. It was half of a busy week, half full of these labors:
Will you give me a prize for this? I confess to you: I have been obsessed with productivity for as long as I can remember. I am always trying to find ways to do things better and faster. I feel best when I'm multi-tasking, and I set the timer to beat-the-clock when doing chores that bore me. When I end a day full of fruit and fish and sore muscles, I am happy. See how worth-my-keep I am?
I'd like to blame our work-focused culture for some of my excess where we are awarded much respect for our over-busyness. In the church, I'd like to blame Ms. Proverbs 31 who never sleeps, who is lauded for her round-the-clock domestic craftiness and her marketplace accomplishments and acumen. Of course—we're women! We're zealous women who must do it all!
And when we can do nothing, who are we? We are so caught in working, producing, earning our worth and food and righteousness-----and when we are not able, we languish, worthless, toothless. We expect to be lead out to the ice floe and set adrift . . .
But even here, in my own helplessness this week, something came to me. This morning, after everyone left for fishing, I was able to climb out of bed (slowly), find my camera (finally); and walk (very slowly) down to the water's edge to sit, just resting in the grass. I was waiting for my sons to come and put out the net. I could not work, but I could watch. Perhaps that would be enough? Sitting there quietly, a flock of sparrows came, golden-crowned sparrows. They lit on pushki and stood just 6 feet away singing, staying with me the whole hour. I had never watched and seen sparrows neither so close nor so long before.
I saw Calvin and Maddie, just hatchlings 8 weeks ago, now nearly ready to fly. I won't see them much longer.
Then I saw my son and his crewmen come in their skiff. I watched them for more than thirty minutes, saw the beauty of the work, how it bends them together, binds them together, how they lean from the island of their boat into the sea, all hands on a single line, all arms on the same net, bent to the same purpose. Have I seen this before?
When I get back, I go to bed again. What am I worth? What can I do? Later, a friend messages me that her father's cancer has come back. I pray for her and for him. And I sit and write these words. . .
And I think about Abraham who became the "father of many nations" because he hoped. : "Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed" I don't know how many fish he could pick in a day, or how many businesses he could run. I don't know how strong he was but he was strong enough to hope.
I think about Paul in prison, immovable, chained to the wall. But he could sing.
I think of Sue in the nursing home, who could hardly walk, but she befriended my father before he died and told him about Jesus.
And I think of all those who are in such straits of disease and dearth they can do nothing but lift their chest for the next breath.
What are you able to do? Maybe not much. But you can still take that next breath. Maybe you can take it---in hope. Maybe you can still pray or sing a quiet song. Maybe you can go sit under a tree and watch the sparrows and warblers . . .
I did not expect this today, this sweetness. A day of sickness and rest. Of sparrows and sons. Of cancer and prayers.
This is my work for this day. Nothing from my hands. Just praying. Just seeing.
It is enough.
Maybe this is your work today too. To watch. To witness.
It will be more than enough.

It Came From Within: Ejecta
"I never said abducted. Something came to me."
First it was Whitley Streiber's Communion. The author of horror novels like The Wolfen and The Hunger was roundly ridiculed for his first person, non-fiction novel about alien abduction in 1987, but this didn't stop him from writing a follow up, Transformation, a year later. The book editor at The L.A. Times' book editor even removed Transformation from the non-fiction best-seller list despite the fact that it was published as a non-fiction account. WIKI LINK
Then, it was The X-Files, which once again brought little green men – or grey men, to be more accurate – into pop culture consciousness. The alien abduction mythology of the show remains divisive, but it did spark enough of a debate to make shows like Sightings and Encounters: The Hidden Truth fairly popular in the 1990s.
By 2015, however, the number of reality shows on the topic, such as the outrageous Ancient Aliens, and the increasing discussion of sleep paralysis as a possible explanation for alien abduction stories, means that a lot of people don't find aliens a plausible or scary subject for a horror movie.
Ejecta, written by Tony Burgess (Pontypool) and directed by Chad Archibald (The Drownsman, Bite) and Matt Wiele, opens with a frightfully intriguing premise: the aliens aren't little green men or Greys and their abduction doesn't involve blinding white lights and tractor beams, but something more insidious.
"It's not pain; it's not fear; it's something else and it's much worse."
Bill Cassidy has been off the grid for years, with the exception of his untraceable online postings as Spider Nevi, a man who claims to have been tormented by his encounter with an alien presence. Fanboy Joe Sullivan tracks him down and begs Cassidy for a videotaped interview because he believes his story.
Like Pontypool, Ejecta plants a tantalizing suggestion: what if the evil forces that seek us out can't be seen with the eyes, but instead are felt in the mind? Other films have tried to expand upon this idea with mixed results. 1982's Xtro opens with an amazing shot of an alien and a storyline about a personality takeover but devolves into a bunch of gory birth scenes and toys that come to life (2012's Almost Human takes on this same idea and dispenses with any alien visuals to create a much better version of the story). The Hidden, the 1987 feature with Kyle McLachlan and Michael Nouri, does a marvelous job at making the unseen entity seem uncanny and terrifying, even though it has a physical form which resides inside the host's body (kind of like the cockroach alien from Men In Black but much smaller and less obvious).
How does Ejecta compare? As Cassidy, Julian Richings is as superbly creepy as usual. He's gaunt and haunted and the idea of having something inside of your brain that you can't get rid of is truly terrifying. But Ejecta fails when it relies too heavily on the tired trope of shaky cam found footage as a method of exposition and eventually shows us the alien itself. The film attempts to deviate from the trope by explaining that the alien body is just a host for the alien intelligence, but once we see the creature laid out on a table, the fake "alien autopsy" video is the first thing that comes to mind, and like Cassidy's alien, we can't get it out of our heads.
It's a shame because Ejecta has a lot of promise from a narrative perspective but it feels like yet another movie that could have benefited from fewer special effects.


text: Fairy tales and music: they are two things that played a big part of most of our childhoods. The combination of the two in an evening of entertainment is, for many of us, the ultimate form of entertainment bliss. With the Broadway musical Frozen, adapted from the animated film musical, which was in turn adapted by the 1884 fairytale by Hans Christian Anderson, working its way toward Broadway this spring, I thought it would be fun to look at some of the other musicals that have been adapted from fairytales and children's stories.

Opinion by William Heuisler
John McCain accepted millions from the Left to silence Conservatives. McCain followed orders from his multi-million-dollar-donor, George Soros, to help Liberal Democrats construct the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Bill that exempts News Media, but regulates Conservative, pro-life and Tea Party political speech. How has McCain-Feingold silenced Conservatives? In 2011 and 2012 our Internal Revenue Service (IRS) delayed many of our conservative groups' campaigns for the 2012 presidential election for months and years. In fact, as you read this, some Conservative groups are still not allowed 501(c)(4) fund-raising status due to alleged McCain-Feingold-prohibited-speech. (1) (2) (4) (5)
George Soros? Look him up (3) & (5). McCain's own Alexandria, Virginia, REFORM INSTITUTE was formed to (among other things) hide funding from Soros' Left Wing OPEN SOCIETY INSTITUTE. Soros planned, incited and financially backed McCain-Feingold after expressing anger at many Republican election wins. He may have succeeded; IRS audits may have won the 2012 election for Obama, using McCain-Feingold to target Conservative groups with harassment, threats, unconstitutional, intimidating questions and long delays. Then the IRS obstructed justice for years – blamed "rogue agents" and destroyed evidence of systematic IRS voter-targeting in Chief Lois Lerner's computer. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
In May 2013, a Treasury Inspector General audit discovered how, before the 2012 election, IRS Agents targeted groups with Patriot and Tea Party in their names to enforce McCain-Feingold. Lois Lerner admitted the IRS "inappropriately targeted" conservatives. In February of 2014 Dave Camp, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, confirmed 100% of 501(c)(4) groups selected for IRS audit prior to the 2012 election were conservative! (1) (2) (4)
Republicans must realize our own Government (the IRS) opposes Republican Conservatives and ignores Democrats. IRS Chief, Koskinen donated $100,000 to Democrats. The 150,000 IRS Agent Union donated to Democrats and endorsed Obama. IRS ex-Chief Lerner used many anti-GOP insults in emails and called Tea Party members "crazies". Our Senate Finance Committee described the illegal acts of IRS thugs targeting Republican Tea Party groups with cover-words like "partisanship", "incompetence" and "gross mismanagement". But the weasel-words hide ugly crimes against Democracy. McCain, Feingold, Levin and Soros have corrupted our elections by urging militant and partisan Government Agents to silence Conservative voters by using Federal police-powers dictated by McCain-Feingold. And as late as 2013, Senator McCain and Senator Levin still complained the IRS was "not reining in political advocacy groups". (1) (2) (4) (5)
Bill Heuisler (Republican, Marine, Cop, Investigator & author of 3 books on Amazon). I am amazed how easily our rights to vote and Freedom of Speech have been stolen through the treachery of John McCain and his friend, George Soros.

You will be amazed at the results, when you incorporate this technique into your daily skin car routine to combat cellulite formation.
Dry skin brushing increases blood flow to the surface of the skin, thereby improving the delivery of nutrients to the peripheral cells in the body. When using long, stroking movements, and brushing in a specific direction, this technique also helps flush out metabolic wastes that are trapped between the fat cells, causing the dimpled effect that we have come to know as 'cellulite'. The removal of these wastes happens via vessels known as the lymphatic system. The lymph vessels are similar to blood vessels, but are reliant on muscle movement or skin brushing to return this clear lymph fluid back to the heart.
This technique should be performed daily, before taking a bath or shower. Using a natural bristle brush, begin by brushing underneath the feet, then on top of the feet. Now brush upwards on the shins and calves, using long stroking movements. Brush upwards on the thighs, both front and back. When brushing the front of the thighs, brush towards the groin. This is where many lymph nodes are situated. It is idea to brush until the skin develops a soft pink colour, taking care not to press too hard. Use circular brushing movements on the buttocks. From your hands to your shoulders, continue stroking upwards in the direction of the heart. Now continue on the stomach, using circular movements in a clockwise direction to aid digestion.
It is ideal to bath or shower after the body brushing routine to remove the dead skin cells that have been sloughed off. Rub the skin well when towel drying. Apply an effective anti-cellulite product such as Vitaderm's Body Contour Gel. Results will become visible within 2-3 weeks.
For more information on other aspects involved in combatting cellulite effectively, please consult your skin care therapist, or contact us on 021-914 3777 or on email@example.com

3 Ways to Reduce Labor Intensity
Grantmakers, and their consultants, tend to overcomplicate things. Let me give you two simple examples of how this wastes time and prevents success. First: biweekly meetings. I've worked for funders who wanted me to stage biweekly meetings, for groups both large and small. In all cases, the process came before the goal: Each funder decided to have biweekly meetings before thinking about what they really wanted to accomplish. How effective the meetings were in reaching the goal was not a consideration. Second example: one-year grants. Offering a year of funding sounds fiscally responsible, since you're checking for success before funding another year. But if you're really likely to keep funding this organization, aren't you being fiscally irresponsible? Think about the … Continue reading 3 Ways to Reduce Labor Intensity

With God's Eyes
With God's Eyes
2 Corinthians 4:1-2,16-18 MSG
"Since God has so generously let us in on what he is doing, we're not about to throw up our hands and walk off the job just because we run into occasional hard times. We refuse to wear masks and play games. We don't maneuver and manipulate behind the scenes. And we don't twist God's Word to suit ourselves. Rather, we keep everything we do and say out in the open, the whole truth on display, so that those who want to can see and judge for themselves in the presence of God.....So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever."
When I was a little girl I hated wearing my glasses. I used to find all sorts of places to hide, lose or liberate them. I left them in a drawer when we were moving my aunt, up in trees, by the pool and anywhere I thought of to "lose" them. The problem was that without my glasses I couldn't see things clearly. As time progressed I began to understand how important seeing clearly really is. Whenever a new idea was pitched at work, school or in the church setting, I tried to discover a 3D picture. My brain sought as hard as possible to see a fuller picture of what was needed.
Developing a three dimensional picture or vision is just as important in our relationship with God. As we grow in our relationships with one another and God we begin to see how we sin and fall short. There are times we are willing to open our eyes and see the brokenness that God sees every day. However there are many times when we choose to not see the pride, greed, fear, and brokenness all around us. Choosing to see the struggles in the lives of others is the first step to seeing through God's eyes.
The God we worship and serve is loving and faithful, always willing to be in the midst of success and challenge, struggle and joy. We may try to put our best image forward, but God always knows our heart and responds with love, fulfilling our innermost needs.
There are times when we choose to not see the pain in the eyes of another, but God never chooses to leave or to be emotionally-absent. God is present in all ways, showing us the perfect peace of Jesus Christ.
During this Lenten season, we are reminded of God's call to Christ to be present and respond always in love. May we feel encouraged that God is always reaching out to us in love and reminding us that God is faithful, loving, compassionate and always present in our lives.
Prayer: Lord, guide us on our journey, helping us to see you more clearly and respond in love. May all we do proclaim your peace. Open our hearts to see you and living as children of your Light and Hope. Amen.

If anyone in the world is wealthy, and he has a hidden treasure, then he will acquire all that he wants through this treasure and wealth. So it is with those who have found and who've already have the heavenly treasure (grace). For through this treasure they acquire every virtue, and accumulate even greater heavenly wealth for themselves. The Apostle says, we have this treasure in earthen vessels (2 Corinthians 4:7); that is, being still in the flesh, we were were they to find in ourselves the above mentioned treasure, the sanctifying power of the Spirit.
He who has found and who has within himself this heavenly treasure of the Spirit is irreproachable, and accomplishes in purity every truth in accordance with the commandments and every virtuous deed without being compelled to do so, and without any difficulties. If we were to begin to implore God, we would begin seeking and asking that we too be given the treasure of His Spirit, and thus we would become irreproachable and abide in purity in all His commandments, carrying out every truth thoroughly and perfectly.
It is necessary to force oneself to ask the Lord that He allow one to find and accept the treasures of the Spirit, to arrive at this condition without difficulty, and to carry out faultlessly and thoroughly all the commandments of the Lord with ease, which formerly could not be accomplished even with all one's strength. This treasure is acquired through diligent seeking, having faith and patience in one's labors throughout this seeking. It is necessary to ask God with sincere love and faith to allow us to find in our hearts His riches, in the power and efficacy of the Spirit.
When the soul aspires to the perfection of the Spirit, after it has been entirely cleansed of all the passions, and, after it has arrived at the unity and dissolution with the Comforting Spirit in ineffable communion and being co-mingled with the Spirit, then it will be considered worthy of becoming spirit itself. Then it will become completely light, all-seeing, completely joyful, completely calm, completely loving, completely merciful, completely filled with grace and goodness.Saint Macarius the Great, Eighteenth Homily.

Abstract reasoning questions test your ability to identify patterns presented in diagrammatic form and are not dependent on your knowledge of English or maths.
Because they are visual questions and are independent of language and mathematical ability, they are considered to be an accurate indicator of your general intellectual ability as well as being 'culturally fair'. Abstract reasoning ability is believed to be the best indicator of fluid intelligence and your ability to learn new things quickly.
These questions use symbols arranged in a straight line or in a pattern and you are required to identify the missing symbol or the next in the sequence. Abstract reasoning ability questions are invariably multiple-choice and strictly timed. These types of question are very commonly used in graduate and managerial selection.
This sample question paper contains 25 questions and has a suggested time limit of 20 minutes. The questions are presented in Letter/A4 format for easy printing and self-marking.
It is not always easy to assess whether someone has the intellectual ability to see patterns and draw conclusions from unfamiliar information. Abstract reasoning questions require you to demonstrate your ability to understand complex concepts and assimilate new information. As a measure of reasoning ability, these questions are independent of educational and cultural background and provide the best indication of your intellectual potential.
Over 95% of people who fail these tests did not do enough practice. Don't be one of them!
This eBook tells you everything you need to know to succeed at these tests. Click for details.

Check Out These Top Chicago IL Attractions
Prepare to discover three more top places to visit when you're in The Windy City of Chicago IL. By now, you're starting to get a good idea of where you might want to go. There are so many things to do in Chicago though, 643 to be exact. I'm working from the top of the list down though, so you're getting a good look at some major attractions in Chicago, Illinois.
Holy Name Cathedral reminds me of the the cathedral I visited with family in NYC. We stopped by St Patrick's Cathedral, and you can stop by Holy Name Cathedral at 735 North State Street. The historic building is gorgeous, and you never know what might be taking place when you stop by. One reviewer talked about witnessing the end of a wedding, and that would certainly make for a nice experience. The architectural ambiance of Holy Name Cathedral is said to be quite stunning inside and out.
The Money Museum at the Federal Reserve Bank is quite an interesting place to check out. People talk about taking a picture with a million bucks, and there are interactive activities to enjoy there, too. The address for the Money Museum at the Federal Reserve Bank is 230 South La Salle Street, and it is free. In an earlier article, I mentioned the Navy Pier. Well, one reviewer talks about staying at a hotel by Navy Pier and walking to this museum.
Making those kinds of connections certainly helps you see and do more in Chicago while you are there. Would you like to see a show in Chicago? One of the greatest places to do that is at the Cadillac Palace Theatre, which is located at 151 West Randolph Street. The interior of this theater looks absolutely stunning according to pictures, and the architecture is indeed said to be rather amazing. All kinds of shows are on the schedule there, and this iconic theater in Chicago is a wonderful place to enjoy a Broadway play.
What do you think of those three major attractions in Chicago? It's not every day that you get to see a Broadway play. The Money Museum and the Holy Name Cathedral are quite interesting, too. It's all in what you want to do. I've mentioned so many Chicago attractions at this point that it can be hard to choose. Certain places of interest will really grab your attention, however, and you will make your selections. You can't go wrong traveling around Chicago with family checking out whatever top attractions you have time for.

Masthead wind indicators
Can anyone tell me if this is a commonly used accessory? If so, spar fly or windex sport. Are there other wind indicators I may want to make use of? Thanks for the help. Dan FS4883

At our lake they are very common. I know I don't like to race without one. I use it primarily on the downwind legs to see the apparent wind, particularly in light winds. Which to use is a matter of personal preference. In our fleet the spar-fly is most popular however it seems prone to damage from the bird population. There are a variety of Rube Goldberg devices used to try to protect them. Glenn FS 5919

I have a windex 10 on my FS. It works OK, but I wished it was a bit bigger. I haven't encountered any bird problems. If I didn't have a wind indicator, I'd be a bit lost out there, especially in lighter winds.

I race with Glenn, and we have turkey buzzards that like to perch on your windex, whie the boat is stored in the dry slips, and break it. When mine gets broken, I put magnetic recording tape on my shrouds, about 6 feet up from the chainplates. This is pretty reliable going down wind, in heavy or light air. Phil Scheetz FS 4086

We recently discussed how cardiovascular device innovation is slowing in our webinar, 5 Steps to Success for Your Cardiovascular Medical Device Trial. This trend can be attributed to a variety of factors such as rising development costs and additional time needed to bring devices to market and a movement toward larger, longer and more complex clinical trials due to expanding regulatory requirements.
To get a better understanding of the specific issues that pose the greatest challenges when conducting global high-risk medical device trials, we polled our participants. Here are the results:
- Regulatory compliance – 38 percent
- Standards for diagnosis and care – 38 percent
- Cultural, language barriers – 12 percent
- Import/export – 4 percent
- Other – 8 percent
Unsurprisingly, regulatory compliance and standards for diagnosis and care account for more than three-quarters of participants' biggest concerns. As many of you have experienced firsthand, both areas frequently experience change as they expand and modernize to meet the unique needs of today's trials.
While using FDA standards for safety monitoring, data quality, endpoint definitions, sample size calculations and follow-up is often a smart approach, one should also be aware of any possible changes. While global regulatory bodies are likely to accept these standards, they are constantly in flux. Trials started today will still need to meet the regulatory expectations of the future.
Beyond potential regulatory changes, there may also be additional local requirements, despite compliance with ICH-GCP requirements, regarding standard of care, post-study medication access and minimum insurance coverage levels for enrolled patients. For example, some countries, including China and Japan, require clinical testing in local patient populations prior to product registration.
It is important to take into account differences in standards of care when conducting multinational trials, including:
- Use of background medications in one population but not another can impact generalizability of results
- Rates of reported AEs may be affected by cultural differences (eg, stoicism, reluctance to complain)
- Standards for diagnosis also vary across regions, and sponsors should consider local requirements for diagnostic testing and/or imaging and validate radiology and other technical equipment before study initiation
For more information on global challenges in the clinical development for interventional cardiovascular devices and how to overcome them, please download the webinar slides and be on the lookout for an upcoming eBook. If you'd like to be alerted when the eBook is available, please leave your contact information in the comments section.

Our History
Adapted from our history compiled by Dr. George Droubie
The first Syrian and Lebanese immigrants arrived in Minnesota in the 1890's. In the St. Paul area they settled primarily on St. Paul's West Side.
Dating from the arrival of the first Orthodox immigrants in St. Paul, they were informally organized as a religious group. Visiting priests held services in private homes.
St. George Syrian Orthodox Church was formally organized and founded in 1913 on St. Paul's West Side. An Episcopal Church located at Clinton and Isabel streets was purchased and adapted for Orthodox liturgical needs. The church was officially dedicated in 1915 by Metropolitan Germanos Shehadi, at which time our first parish priest was ordained. Since then eighteen priests have served our parish, among them Very Rev. Essa Kanavati and Very Rev. John G. Khoury.
As the church building on the West Side began to deteriorate and parishioners moved out of the area surrounding the church, five acres of land in our current location were purchased in 1968 for a future complex. A multi-purpose hall was constructed during 1973 and our first service was held in February 1974. The second phase of our building program was completed in 1975 with the construction of a new parish home adjacent to our multi-purpose building. The third phase of our building program began in 1980. It was our goal to design a Byzantine-style church in keeping with Orthodox tradition while also blending in the best of 20th century concepts. Construction of a new Byzantine-style church began in 1981. The church seats approximately 300 people and includes a beautiful gold dome, adorned with an icon of Christ.
Our first service in the new church was held in March 1982, with the official consecration on September 11, 1989 by His Eminence Metropolitan Archbishop Philip Saliba.
The year 1998 brought about the unification of the two Antiochian parishes in St. Paul. St. Mary's Church on Robert Street and St. George were formally united in a single Antiochian witness with the blessing of Metropolitan Philip. Father John Khoury retired after 31 years of service to the community of St. George. With the joining of two communities there was need for a major expansion of the facilities. In 2001 a large new parish hall was built and the former hall was enlarged and completely rebuilt to accommodate a fast growing church school program. An administration complex was also configured out of the former hall and kitchen area. A magnificent dedication service was held in May of 2002 and a new Altar was consecrated in the newly redecorated church.
In 2006 we were blessed with the arrival of our current pastor, the Very Reverend Archpriest Father Thomas Begley.
The St. George parish family is made up of many of the descendants of the original Middle Eastern families, as well as a great number of converts who have searched for, found our faith, and made it their own. We boast a sizeable number of immigrant families from Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine, and faithful from other Eastern Orthodox backgrounds.
