The First Poststevejb68 on June 8, 2014 in Anniversary, Blog
I am not really sure why I started doing it. Maybe it was to keep a kind of online journal. Maybe it was to see if anyone would be interested to read what I had to share. I did know I did not want to write about how a Scouting leader should be trained or how an adult could be an effective leader. There were already blogs about that subject. I just wanted to share my thoughts and experiences.
My first post to "A Scoutmaster's Blog" appeared on May 18, 2006, eight years ago! Blogging was just starting to gain in popularity. There were not many blogs about Boy Scouting at that time. I wanted to keep mine fun and, hopefully, entertaining. There have been a few changes over the years. I switched from Blogger to WordPress, which has worked out well. Two podcasts became a part of the blog. I have even had a few guests writers.
One of the biggest changes was when I stepped down as the scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 68 at the end of 2011. I gave a lot of thought to changing the name of this blog but finally decided to leave it alone. Some of the names I had thought about changing to were already taken by others. Besides, I will still be writing from a scoutmaster perspective. It is hard not to after holding that role for over 30 years.
I am still very active with Troop 68. That means I will still have things to write about. Hopefully, you will continue to find these posts fun and entertaining, and maybe even gain a bit of knowledge or two. Who know, maybe there will be a tenth anniversary of "A Scoutmaster's Blog". That is not that far away anymore.

The Holy Catholic Church (Africa Journal #2)
One of the great blessings of my calling is that I am called to travel far and wide from time to time. Over the course of little more than a year, I have traveled to teach in the United Kingdom, Japan, and now in Africa. I come home each time encouraged to see the Spirit of God at work in places that are far to me, but near to Him. While my joy increases, however, so does my concern. The more aware I become of how God is at work in distant lands, the more I become aware of the need. My vision is expanded on the expanse of the kingdom, which in turn causes me to see more clearly the fields white for harvest.
This morning at the Rafiki Village in Ethiopia I was blessed to listen as fifteen precious children, from three to six years old, were lead in singing "Trust and Obey" and "Amazing Grace." The tears came as they sang "Father Abraham Had Many Sons" and danced together rejoicing in God's covenant faithfulness to them and to me. After lunch these same children recited the Apostles' Creed, first in English and then in their native tongue. The tears returned for our shared story. These little children so foreign to me by nature are my brothers and sisters by supernature and grace. We together believe in God the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His Son, who is our Lord together. We together believe that He was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary. We know that for our sins He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. He descended into hell. Our common joy, however, is that He was raised again on the third day and sits on the right hand of the Father. We are at peace knowing that He will come from there to judge the living and the dead.
The tears came because in this little village and poverty-stricken land, we are the catholic church and experience the communion of the saints. We are the church and are united because our sins have been forgiven, and so judged innocent, we look to the resurrection of our bodies even as the Messiah's body was raised. On that great day we will together enter into the life everlasting. John Piper speaks wisdom when he reminds us that missions exists because worshippers don't. We send and preach that the lost might be found and rejoice. God brought me here to worship with these precious children of His. As He has always done, He brought me to learn from them.

A new winner has emerged in York County's House District 137 election, with military and overseas ballots tipping the vote in favor of incumbent Alan Casavant.
Casavant, a three-term Democratic representative who also is Biddeford's mayor, appeared to be the loser Nov. 6, trailing Republican William Guay of Kennebunkport by 22 votes.
But when the state finished counting military and overseas ballots three days later, Casavant had 15 more votes than Guay, who has requested a recount.
The House District 137 race is one of 10 across the state that will be recounted and one of two that got new winners after military and overseas absentee ballots were counted.
The recount for the Casavant-Guay race has not yet been scheduled, but it likely will be held early next week, said Megan Sanborn, spokeswoman for the Secretary of State's Office.
Results in House District 70, which covers parts of Auburn and Lewiston, also were reversed after military and overseas ballots were counted. Democrat R. Wayne Werts now leads Republican Bruce Bickford by two votes.
Losers of state races have until 5 p.m. Wednesday to request recounts.
Regular absentee ballots are counted by local officials on Election Day. Ballots for uniformed military personnel and voters who are overseas are counted by the Secretary of State's Office, which starts counting after the polls close and continues until all ballots are counted.
Even before military and overseas ballots were counted for House District 137, the race appeared to be in flux.
Guay's 22-vote lead was narrowed when Biddeford City Clerk Carmen Morris discovered that 15 ballots from Ward 3 — the only Biddeford ward in the district — had been incorrectly inserted into ballot counting machines for other wards in the city.
Guay, a small-business owner from Kennebunkport, said he was not surprised by the close race.
"It's disappointing to go from winning to losing, but the important thing now is to make sure all the votes are counted accurately," he said. "We want to make sure everyone's vote counts and that, win or lose, it's right and real."
Sanborn said the state received 3,000 military and overseas ballots, twice as many as in other years. Thirty-seven of those ballots were cast by voters from Biddeford and Kennebunkport.
In House District 137, 15 military and overseas voters went for Casavant and 10 voted for Guay. Two ballots in the district were left blank.
After the military and overseas ballots were counted, Casavant had 2,579 votes to Guay's 2,564, according to Sanborn.
Casavant said Guay informed him of the new outcome.
"I was stunned," he said Tuesday from Augusta, where he was caucusing with House Democrats. "I've never seen anything that close."
Like Guay, Casavant said he wasn't surprised by the close race. He called Guay the "hardest opponent" he has faced.
"He proved over and over he is a class act," Casavant said. "It was a huge challenge, so I feel good coming out on top."
Uniformed service voters include active duty military personnel and their dependents; voters in the Coast Guard and Merchant Marines; and commissioned corps of the U.S. Public Health Service and the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration.
Overseas voters are U.S. citizens who are, or would be, eligible to vote in Maine before leaving the country.

The Gunners boss has drawn up an ambitious shortlist ahead of the transfer window and is so focused on ending the club's trophy drought that he is yet to sign his own new contract
Arsenal's title challenges has stalled in recent weeks with Oliver Giroud understandably beginning to feel the burden of spearheading the club's attack almost single-handedly this season.
Initially the France international had warmed to the challenge after a satisfactory first season, scoring five times in six games at the start of the campaign.
Recently, however, the goals have dried up for the former Montpellier man, who has started all but one of Arsenal's Premier League and Champions League matches this season.
Despite Giroud's dip in form, one that has been mirrored by that of a side that has failed to win any of their last four games in all competitions, Arsenal remain level on points with Liverpool at the top of the table and in with a chance of their first Premier League crown in a decade.
With that in mind, Arsene Wenger has drawn up a hugely ambitious five-man shortlist with a view to adding the world-class striker that, for all Giroud's qualities, his squad currently lacks.
Scouts were dispatched last week to Spain to watch Atletico Madrid's Diego Costa score twice in his side's 3-2 win over Levante.
The 25-year-old's goals have sparked an unlikely title challenge from Diego Simeone's side but with the player understood to be on relatively low wages and his contract stipulating a release clause, thought to be around the £30 million mark, Arsenal are willing to test the Brazilian-born forward's resolve.
Similarly, the Gunners feel there remains a chance Borussia Dortmund could be tempted into accepting a cash offer for Robert Lewandowski, rather than wait until the summer when they are widely expected to lose the Poland international to rivals Bayern Munich for nothing.
Arsenal had also identified Fernando Llorente as a potential loan target and had contacted the Spaniard's representatives before the former Athletic Bilbao striker's upturn in form.
PSG's currently out-of-favour wide forward Ezequiel Lavezzi and Milan's talented, but often injured, Stephan El Shaarawy complete Wenger's wishlist.
Such is Arsene Wenger's focus and determination to ensure his side's trophy drought does not extend into a 10th year, the long-serving Arsenal manager has declined the opportunity to put pen a new deal that Goal understands has been in place since October.
The 64-year-old, who joined the club back in 1996, is expected to sign an extension that will keep him in north London until 2016, while there are also new deals in the pipeline for members of his backroom team, including Steve Bould, Neil Banfield and Boro Primorac.
While Wenger is refusing to let his side's title tilt be affected by conjecture surrounding his own future, so too is he unwilling to allow his players, even several of his more senior and loyal servants, to focus on anything other than matters on the pitch.
There has been no move from the club, for example, to enter into negotiations with vice-captain Mikel Arteta, who has only 18 months left to run on his present contract, while the club are no closer to sorting out Bacary Sagna's long-term future, despite the right-back being free to enter into negotiations with other clubs come January.
Arsenal have, however tied Wojciech Szczesny to a new long-term deal, while Per Mertesacker is also in talks over extending his stay at Emirates Stadium.
Previous Arsenal challenges have been seriously undermined by various injury crises that have beset the club in recent times.
Two years ago Arsenal went into their festive programme with none of their four senior full-backs available, but this time around they can boast, just about, a clean bill of health.
Laurent Koscielny is expected to play some part over the festive period despite the horror gash he suffered to his knee in a challenge with Sergio Aguero in the 6-3 defeat at the Etihad Stadium earlier this month.
Lukas Podolski, meanwhile, returned to the matchday squad for the first time in four months during Monday's 0-0 draw with Chelsea. The Germany international made just four appearances this season before suffering what sources have told Goal was the most severe type of grade three tear possible, an injury which involves a partial or full tear of the hamstring.

Developers of Mozilla's Firefox browser are experimenting with a new security feature that connects to a specified set of websites only when presented with a cryptographic certificate validating the connection is secure.
A beta version of the open-source browser contains a list of sites known to deploy the HTTP Strict Transport Security mechanism that requires a browser to use the secure sockets layer or transport layer security protocols when communicating. HSTS is designed to provide an additional layer of security by mandating the channel is encrypted and the server has been authenticated using strong cryptography.
But there's a chicken-and-egg problem with HSTS. "Man-in-the-middle" attackers, who are positioned in between a browser and website, have the ability to prevent browsers from receiving the server code that enforces the additional protection. That makes it possible for HSTS to be circumvented by the very types of people the measure is designed to thwart.
That's where the new Firefox feature comes in. It provides a list of sites known to enforce HSTS, and it prevents the browser from connecting unless the specified server presents a valid certificate.
"When a user connects to one of these hosts for the first time, the browser will know that it must use a secure connection," a post published on Thursday to the Mozilla security blog explained. "If a network attacker prevents secure connections to the server, the browser will not attempt to connect over an insecure protocol, thus maintaining the user's security."
Google's Chrome browser already offers similar protection.

Don Eugene Brown has written an excellent debut book entitled Pursue Patience. The book included many personal stories from his life and his struggles with dealing with patience. Don Eugene Brown has served in the military many different times throughout his life. He felt like God was calling him to a higher existence and in order to get there he had to ask God for what most of us are afraid to ask for. Before he left for a military mission in Germany, he decided to follow God's prompting and pray for the virtue of patience. A key note to remember is when you pray for patience, you have better get prepared to be tested in this difficult and challenging area. Patience is remaining calm through the storms of life, she doesn't hurry up when we are attempting to make things happen in our own strength and in our timing, and she won't reveal everything at once. It's important to rely on the word of God and His perfect timing for completion for our dreams to come to pass, and strength and guidance in the storms of life. Patience is a critical aspect that must be enacted. The book included dramatic Biblical examples, including Abraham's faith and standing on what God has promised until it came to pass to encourage readers on pursuing patience.
One part of the book that immensely benefited me was when Brown shared a vulnerable story to his pastor and his brotherhood of friends. He stated that he wanted to be like Paul and he didn't believe he would ever marry. Eventually his desires changed and he later met his wife when he stopped looking for her. I personally have witnessed my own desires change over the past two years. I have always thought the same that I wouldn't marry, especially since the rate of divorce is 50%, and I'm wondering how many couples are truly happy and fulfilled, and I wouldn't have children because if you look at the world I just see a lot of conflict, danger, and trouble. I'm currently now twenty-two years old and this past year, my desires have changed. I actually want to settle down, marry, and have children someday. Before I would have said no way! God had to slowly change me. Brown encouraged me to stop looking around for a spouse and when it's time for us to meet God will lead the way and direct our paths. Now he isn't saying to give up on marriage, he's only saying to have patience. Patience has to be a chosen decision because trying to make relationships happen could lead me places that I don't want to travel and my bag of regrets to accompany me. I must also display patience in not falling into sexual temptation before marriage. This one is very complicated to maintain when our hormones and our bodies are demanding go ahead and have sex and make love. Patience and waiting until marriage is the safe way to have the marriages God has intended, and much heartache would be saved if we waited on patience.
This is the author's first book and I can't wait to see what other best-selling books he writes! This book will bless you with learning about patience! I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who is struggling to endure trials and curve balls that life can throw our way. If you're trying to move ahead of God in certain situations, then you need to read this book on patience! The waiting stage of life can sometimes be long, and you may be tempted to become discouraged but take heart, one spoken word and God can turn anything around. Delayed gratification isn't often what many of us consider thrilling because our flesh tends to want the whole thing now!
As a society, we have become more and more of a generation of people who want and are demanding everything to happen now when we want it to occur. We want to our marriage partner to come across our path this exact moment (today, please), the slow automobiles to move out of our lane or go faster, our perfect career to manifest right now, our children to obey our house rules, when I say do it, you better do it and no talking back, the long lines checking out at the stores, and purchasing whatever goods we want but don't truly need.
This book will guide you into chasing after patience in your life but be warned that when you pray for patience get ready for the tests to come! Reading this book has shown me, I have to have patience behind slow drivers which is a battlefield for me, especially when my favorite driving song comes on and I want to cruise. And what's really bad is when it's a praise song and if the car in front of me heard it, well let's be honest it would hurt my Christian walk. This book has assisted me in waiting on God's timing for my wife to come into my life. Whatever areas you have to deal with concerning patience, this book will immeasurably make you reach into your very soul and activate the virtue of patience that God wants to bring forth into you. Your harvest will come! Go after patience!

Maryland HARP Lender: 855-674-8525
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have adopted changes to the Baltimore, MD Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) and you may be eligible to take advantage of these changes.
If your Maryland mortgage is owned or guaranteed by either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, you may be eligible to refinance your Baltimore mortgage under the enhanced and expanded provisions of HARP.
CLICK HERE to check and see if your loan is eligible for the Home Affordable Refinance Program.
The Baltimore Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) is a streamline refinance program created to help eligible borrowers who have continued to make their mortgage payments, but may be unable to refinance over recent years due to a decline in their home value.
The HARP Program is for eligible loans that were closed prior to June 1, 2009, and HARP 2.0 guidelines are in affect until the program ends on December 31, 2015.
The most important change to the Home Affordable Refinance Program for homeowners who were underwater on their mortgages or had little equity and were bound by mortgage insurance challenges was the elimination of the equity requirement. This change could help as many as 4 – 7 million more homeowners get payment relief while taking advantage of the historically low interest rates. The belief is that homeowners will be able to add to an average savings of $3,500 a year and spend more on goods and services to directly impact the economy.
Is Your Loan Guaranteed By Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac?
We have included two simple loan lookup tools within this site with explanations about the process for determining if your loan is with either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
Fannie Mae: https://fanniemae.com/loanlookup/
Freddie Mac: https://freddiemac.com/mymortgage
Double check to make sure you entered your information accurately. ex: "St." vs. "Street"
Was Your Loan Sold To Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac Before May 31, 2009?
This means that the lender you originated your loan with must have funded your loan with a the date listed on the Note before May 31, 2009.
If you are unsure, or are not finding the results that you like with either loan lookup tool mentioned above, please feel free to call us directly and speak with a real mortgage professional who can assist you. 855-674-8525
Are You Current On Your Baltimore Mortgage Payments?
Current means that you are not more than 30 days late on this month's mortgage payment.
For example, you would still be considered current if you sent the payment that was due on the first on the 10th or 15th instead.
Keep in mind that processing and underwriting turn-times on these new HARP deals can take anywhere from 3-5 weeks to close. So, please make this month's mortgage payment vs. holding it in hopes that you can skip a couple of payments.
Is There Little Or No Equity In Your Baltimore Home?
The HARP 2.0 guidelines have been changed to allow borrowers with high Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratios refinance their mortgages into lower rates.
Additionally, the mortgage insurance barriers have been removed, which means you can transfer MI between new lenders without it causing your loan to get denied.
So, this program is designed to help borrowers who owe more than 80% LTV on their mortgage.
For example, if your balance is $81,000 and your home is worth $100,000, then your LTV would be 81%. This also means that if your balance is $150,000 on a property worth $100,000 (150% LTV), you would still be eligible for HARP.
Have You Refinanced With Baltimore HARP Before?
The mortgage cannot have been refinanced under HARP previously unless it is a Fannie Mae loan that was refinanced under HARP from March-May, 2009.
What if I can't make my mortgage payments with a new refinance?
If you are struggling to make your mortgage payments, or have lost your source of income, this is probably not the program for you. Instead, you may want to research other options for underwater homeowners, such as a loan modification, short sale or unemployment forbearance. You can find more information about other foreclosure prevention options at KnowYourOptions.com
CLICK HERE to submit a contact request online and we will have one licensed Maryland HARP Approval Network member connect with you asap. You can also feel free to Call us directly @ 855-674-8525 for any questions about HARP loans.

Intranasal Immunization with Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae Outer Membrane Vesicles Induces Cross-Protective Immunity in Mice (2012)
Haemophilus influenzae is a Gram-negative human-restricted bacterium that can act as a commensal and a pathogen of the respiratory tract. Especially nontypeable H. influenzae (NTHi) is a major threat to public health and is responsible for several infectious diseases in humans, such as pneumonia, sinusitis, and otitis media. Additionally, NTHi strains are highly associated with exacerbations in patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Currently, there is no licensed vaccine against NTHi commercially available. Thus, this study investigated the utilization of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) as a potential vaccine candidate against NTHi infections. We analyzed the immunogenic and protective properties of OMVs derived from various NTHi strains by means of nasopharyngeal immunization and colonization studies with BALB/c mice. The results presented herein demonstrate that an intranasal immunization with NTHi OMVs results in a robust and complex humoral and mucosal immune response. Immunoprecipitation revealed the most important immunogenic proteins, such as the heme utilization protein, protective surface antigen D15, heme binding protein A, and the outer membrane proteins P1, P2, P5 and P6. The induced immune response conferred not only protection against colonization with a homologous NTHi strain, which served as an OMV donor for the immunization mixtures, but also against a heterologous NTHi strain, whose OMVs were not part of the immunization mixtures. These findings indicate that OMVs derived from NTHi strains have a high potential to act as a vaccine against NTHi infections.

I've been attending a men's group which meets weekly. Today the question arose about sickness and conflict in people's lives. I referred these men to Hebrews 12:5-8 in regards to God chastening those He loves. I guess my question is this: does God inflict illness/adverse situations into people's lives as chastening or does He allow these things to happen? I read in Job 5:17-18 "Behold, happy is the man that God corrects, therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty, for He bruises, but He binds up, He wounds, but His hands make whole."
The answer to your question is both. Let me explain. Of course, God lets evil things happen to His saints, and He is not by that reasoning the author of sin and its evil consequences. But He also ordains those happenings which in Hebrews 12 are called chastenings. That is the heart of the meaning of Romans 8:28: "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God..."
The distinction we must make is in the motive behind an action or happening that is in itself evil. A good example is found in Genesis 50:15-21 (which gives the complete context). Verse 20 says: "As for you (Joseph's older brothers), you meant it for evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive."
The Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter 5, "Of Providence," covers this whole question in paragraph 2: "Although, in relation to the foreknowledge and decree of God, [who is] the first Cause, all things come to pass immutably, and infallibly; yet by the same providence, he ordereth them to fall out, according to the nature of the second causes, either necessarily, freely, or contingently."
Genesis 8:22 is given as an example of "necessarily," Jeremiah 31:35 for "freely," and Isaiah 15:24 & 27 for "contingently." In the case relating to Joseph and his brothers, the second cause was "freely": they freely hated Joseph; and yet their action of selling Joseph into slavery was because of their sinful nature. But God's "first cause" motive was to work all things together for the good of His people, as it always is in everything He ordains!
Now what is His purpose in letting evil things happen to His saints such as sin on their part or suffering that has no connection with their behavior? First, it is not punishment. All the punishment for our sins was laid on Jesus the Lamb of God (Is. 53:6). But evil in the life of a believer may be chastening for sin in his life (John 5:14) or merely to show God's greater glory in his life (John 9:1-3).
Further, I would recommend your reading two excellent articles in the February 2002 New Horizons: "Called to Suffering" by Theodore Georgian and "To Share Christ's Sufferings: Blasphemy or Blessing?" by T. Grady Spires. They are both excellent and timely.
But the richness of this subject rests in the nature of our sovereign God. A god helpless to stave off bad things that happen to His children is an impotent god. Our God is in control for "whatever comes to pass" (Ephesians 1:11). And He is holy in all His works, yet allows the evil to happen, even in the activity of Satan. Yet our enemy can do nothing that is beyond God's control (Job 1:2 and 2:6). There is mystery there, but great comfort to us whose trust is in Him alone.
I hope this has been helpful to you. May God bless you as you search out the deep things of the Word.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

Antimicrobial Coatings Market Is Expected To Reach USD 3.3 Billion Globally by 2018
A new market report titled 'Antimicrobial Coatings Market - Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Share, Trends, Analysis, Growth and Forecast, 2012 - 2018,' by Transparency Market Research observes that the antimicrobial coatings demand was worth USD 1.6 billion in 2012 and is estimated to reachUSD 3.3 billion in 2018, growing at a CAGR over 12% from 2012 to 2018. North America is the global revenue leader in antimicrobial coatings and dominates the demand for these products.
Browse the full report at http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/anti-microbial-coating-market.html
Owing to ability to ward off microbial growth effectively, there is a growing demand for antimicrobial coatings in medical applications such as catheters and other medical devices. With the realization that indoor air pollution can cause more harm to health, there had also been a noticeable rise in the use of antimicrobial coatings in improvement of indoor air quality.
Increased use of plastic packaging in food applications has resulted in growing demand for additives and coatings in the food packaging industry. However, factors such as questionable efficacy of coatings used in apparel, health issues associated with the use of active silver as the main ingredient and stringent regulations governing the antimicrobial coatings market are restraining growth.
Active silver has emerged as the most widely used raw material for antimicrobial coatings as it is believed to show the highest efficacy levels compared to other compounds. Antimicrobial powder coatings demand is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.4% by volumes and at a CAGR of 9.1% by volume, from 2012 and 2018. Surface modifications and coatings account for the larger of the two product-based market shares and are expected to show steady growth rates at CAGR of 8.8% by volume and at CAGR of 12.2% by revenue from 2012 to 2018. The market has also been segmented on the basis of the microbes; the coatings offer protection against such as E. Coli, Listeria, Pseudomonas and others.
Antimicrobial coatings demand for indoor air quality is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.8% from 2012 to 2018. Similarly hospitals and healthcare centers have a need for antimicrobial atmosphere and coatings have been adapted accordingly for exclusive use in medical locations. The medical/healthcare market demad for antimicrobial coatings is therefore expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.6% from 2012 to 2018.
In case of mold formation, various coatings and products containing antimicrobial substances are being put to use as an aftercare method. Most of the buildings where mold aftercare is necessary are older than five years and hence the market is expected to grow at a high CAGR of 13.1% from 2012 to 2018.
The key market players include AkzoNobel N.V., Sherwin-Williams Company, Dow Microbial Control and Diamond Vogel Paints. There are many other market players such as BASF, E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (DuPont), Nippon Paint Co. Ltd., RPM International Inc., Royal DSM N.V., Sono-Tek Corporation and others that also have good market bases in antimicrobial coatings.

CROWN HEIGHTS — A decade or so ago, when Williamsburg was better known for its Hasidim than its hipsters, Kevin Phillip bought a building on Franklin Avenue, then a rough and tumble stretch of Crown Heights.
Fast forward a few years and that building houses the popular sweet shop Candy Rush and the avenue around it is among the most coveted blocks in Brooklyn, its storefronts spit-shined to sparkling by people like Phillip and his wife Garnett, who saw potential and lovingly cultivated it.
Those who were there 'back then' share a fierce pride in the community they helped create.
So when the Candy Rush co-owners heard that blogger Jonathan Butler and his partners planned to install an artisanal food court just down the block and around the corner in the old Studebaker Service Station, they were less than pleased.
"I want to know whether it would affect any of the small business owners who've been here and helped build this community," Garnett Phillip told Butler, who founded the website Brownstoner, in front of a 100-strong crowd at Thursday's Community Board 8 meeting.
"Have you taken the time to visit us?"
When the Brownstoner team bought the Dean Street warehouse near Franklin Avenue this past spring, they envisioned a DUMBO-style shared office space in an area sorely lacking it.
But Butler also applied for a liquor license for a 250-seat bar and restaurant that he said would feature vendors from his popular Brooklyn Flea market.
"You can get a beer from the bar and say 'I feel like having brisket tonight' or tacos, whatever the selections may be," Butler told the community board.
"We're also creating a courtyard in the middle of it. The third piece will be a small private dining and events space."
And while some in the community see inclusion into Butler's brand — which encompasses the Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene and Smorgasburg in Williamsburg — as yet another sign that they've arrived, others feared being squeezed out.
"I'm all for it as long as he's not stepping on other people's toes in the neighborhood," BCakeNY owner Miriam Milord told Phillip as they waited for Butler outside the meeting. "We want the neighborhood to be so vital that your ice cream will sell just as well as his."
Philip said she was cautiously optimistic about the project.
"I love what they're doing as long as they take the time out to consider what's already here," she said.
"I want to be sure that it's not going to diminish storefronts like ours — that it's not going to crush us."

[Intro: DJ Khaled]
Keep your circle tight
Trust no one, nobody (nobody, nobody, no no no)
DJ Khaled!
[Verse 1: Scarface]
Gotta be careful who you trusting
Be aware of your surrounding when you hustling
Them niggas smiling at you ain't your friends, dawg
All the real ones are dead or in the pen y'all
You fuck with dude, he your day one
Almost had it all then the day comes
When they walking through your house with the strap out
Pointing at your head, got the bread then you black out (yeah)
Bright lights down the hallways
Left his best friend for dead for the small wage (ay)
They say that every doors got a day coming
It's like he seen a ghost but he ain't say nothing
Eyes wide shut like you looking at me
Window pain to the soul say they niggas happy
But the pictures ain't say them words and we dry stomach
The homie didn't keep it one hundred
The cops doing roundups, say they got a suspect
Finally got a name now, I'm still thinkin fuck that (fuck, that)
For money, niggas murder what they close to (get this nigga)
Entire families these mother fuckin' ghost you
Smoke you, was it worth what the life was?
Just prepared for the payback because it strikes cuz
Was it worth what that life was?
Prepare for the payback when it strikes cuz
[Bridge: John Legend]
Cuz when you need it the most ain't no one ever around
Cold world, cold world
[Verse 2: Jadakiss]
Yo, the pain's unbearable, remains unawareable
He fuck around jump of a building if you dare him to
The greats they done already killed him, who you compare him to
Figure out what he said will take a year or two
Family over everything, skills over politics
He don't need the accolades as long as you acknowledge it
Just playing the hand you was dealt, no aces
Betrayal is worse than death in most cases
The world is filled with hypocrites that's so racist
Multiple shots to the face, No chasers
Mad cause you blew up quick and you excited
Your man that you grew up with get you indicted
This was your nigga, yo, for him you let the trigger go
Found out at the trial they got audio and video
Shit don't always happen how you plan it
Get jammed up and really find out who your fam is
You could feel the picture, you don't need to see the canvas
That nigga Jay'll Hawk you, he don't even play for Kansas
You know when it's someone you love the hurt's pure
You front tryna hold it in, it hurts more
He was right there back-to-back with me, my first war
Even had a crack spot together, the first floor
Used to buzz em in then meet him right by the first door
That was 'prolly a year before I went on my first tour
Friendship was worth more than a couple of ounces
He was 'sposed to be with me arguing with the bouncers
Instead you ended up somewhere far in the mountains
Talking 'about what we was doing, what we was counting
Nothing but old pictures of old sixes
Old BM's with the kids, old snitches
Two sides, both wishes
Karma is the sister of life, they both bitches
[Bridge: Anthony Hamilton]
See there's a story in my life
There's a story in my pain
There's a story in my tears, ohh-ohh ohhh
There's a story in me
[Verse 3: Meek Mill]
Yeah, for life
Lord forgive me for my sins, I was chasin' ends
And I'm into makin' money, I ain't in to making friends
Cause these niggas rattin', I ain't finna take a chance
Homie said he 'bout that action they grabbin' me take the stand, damn
Say loyalty make a man, got a homie and he told
I don't even shake his hand, I don't even crack a smile
Knew him since a child, man this game so foul
But niggas made vows to a code I never break
Ridin' in the heavy weight
Thirty-six O's in the bird, call it feather weight
Never on time, when I show up I be ready late
Niggas got fat while we starved they already ate
And I'm trying to get full, masks on clips full
If he got the money we attack him like a pitbull
We sellin' soft, we sellin' hard like it's a brick store
On my dick, nigga, thought that's what your bitch for
[Bridge: Akon]
My pain ain't never been told (ain't never been told)
All the success that I'm suffering from
Came from this knowledge I sold (this knowledge I know)
My family fucks with me
And fought the enemy that stood in my way (my way)
That's why I don't trust nobody
And I doubt you'll ever see that day
'Fore I surrender to you (surrender), surrender to you (surrender)
Surrender to you, surrender to you
Which I will never do
[Bridge: John Legend & Anthony Hamilton]
Cause when you need it the most ain't no one ever around (nobody's around)
Cold world (cold world), cold world (mmm, yes it is, yeah)
And the ones that you keep close are the ones will take you down (always take you down)
Cold world (cooooold), a cold cold world
[Hook: Akon]
'Fore I surrender to you, (surrender) surrender to you (surrender)
Surrender to you, surrender to you
'Fore I surrender to you, (surrender) surrender to you (surrender)
Surrender to you, surrender to you
Which I will never do
Ohh-ohhhhh (ohh-ohhhh) ohh-ohhhhh
[Bridge: Anthony Hamilton & John Legend]
See there's a story in my life (Surrender)
There's a story in my pain (Surrender)
There's a story in my tears (Surrender)
There's a story in me (I won't Surrender, I won't surrender, ohh no no no)

Experience/Qualifications: BA(hons) French, CELTA and about 20 months experience. Its been about three weeks now and so far so good (on the whole!) When I first got here I spent about 2 days in Salvador, which is on the north east coast. It's a great city and I probably could have easily got work but crime was such an issue that I just felt it wasn't worth staying around. Also, I had a flight to Porto Alegre booked so I wasn't going to hang about anyway. Porto Alegre was such a let down I was left really disappointed. The hostel I was staying in was terrible and it had no heating whatsoever and showers outside. They are actually having the coldest snap in about 10 years (just my luck) so it rained and rained and I just couldn't warm up it was ridiculous. Then, on my second night I caught a Brazilian guy going through my suitcase during the night whilst I was sleeping, literally inches from my head! I confronted him but he said he was 'moving' stuff. A complete lie but all my stuff was locked away in a cabinet so it didn't really matter. The following day I then saw an old lady get coshed over the head and then her bag stolen in daylight. After all of these experiences I just gave up on Porto Alegre, it's actually really overrated. Also, I had heard stories of really hot blondes everywhere but this never materialised, so I don't really get what people are on about when they talk about that. So, I had a look at the map and booked a flight up here to Sao Luis. It's a tropical island with a main city population of about 1.1m so quite big. The weather is great and you get downpours in the afternoons so it's quite humid. It is quite poor but suprisingly crime is low (for brazil anyway). I've made some great Brazilian friends and met a girl so I'm learning portuguese quite quickly. It's not a hard language but it's quite nasal so pronouncing words properly can be tricky. Learning portuguese is an absolute must if you are working outside of Rio/SP because a) you are more likely to get ripped off and, b) you will find it much harder to make friends. Work: I have managed to find some work and although the pay is low (17 Reis per hour!) it should lead onto other things. It's with a big chain which is not ideal but it is well organised and the staff are friendly. I've had a couple of calls from privates as I've been handing out business cards so I hope things will pick up in that area. The director of the school said there is a big shipping or mining company looking for native speakers but you need to be fluent in portuguese too as you're kind of bridging the gap between the portuguese company and foriegn engineering contractors. So, my aim is to learn the language as quickly as possible and then work for them as the pay will be quadruple! I've also got another interview on Monday, there are three stages and the 2nd is with a psychologist for some reason. Should be interesting as apparently she doesn't speak a word of English... As far as schools go, all the big chains are here. Fisk, Wizard, Minds etc. BUT minds wanted me to work 7 hours a day, Monday through Saturday which I think is ridiculous. I politely declined. Renting an apartment has been a real challenge and without the help of this brazilian girl I'd be stuck. Rentals are astronomical considering what you get; it's because literally no one actually owns proprty here. I've seen a few shockers but later hopefully I will get the flat I'm after. It's located on/near the Uni campus so an opportunity for more students and, of course, parties . As for money I doubt I will start breaking even for another month or so. Brazil isn't cheap but really worth it as the people are very relaxed, eassygoing and well humoured. Sometimes a bit too relaxed up here but you can't have it all right? So although Sao Luis is off the beaten trackt it is worth it. Personally, I think you can make it in any city in Brazil with a positive attitude, business cards, a decent cv and some savings. I hope this helps anyone thinking about coming over to Brazil to teach. All the best!

Exactly what I think of Porto Alegre and Salvador is not my favourite nordeste city, always prefered Recife, Natal etc. I think you have found yourself the right place. I love Sao Luis, bit of a trek though on the bus! South to Teresina, north to Belem. But being far from the rest makes it what it is, a World to itself, unique. They call Sao Luis nordeste, but to me it is a little mix of nordeste and moreso whats to come if you carry on to Amazonica. Lots of forro though and its a real good mix with the nordestino character shining through. I love Teresina too, but that dosen't have the buildings or reviver characteristicas. Enjoy the suco cupuaçu. Nothing and nowhere is cheap in Brazil today and I'm glad I was there several years ago. But NOTHING, NOTHING compares to Brazil. I miss it like hell. Soarte.

Agree with all of that but Recife...?! I've heard so many dodgy stories about that city. I was chatting to a Swiss girl the other day and she was surrounded by 3 guys and relieved of all of her possessions. Crime is a real issue there and some locals tell me it's worse than Salvador now...

Both unfortunately have very high murder rates. The state of Pernambuco has double the murder rate of the state of Bahia. Most of these are local male youngsters that are the main people being killed. But get to know the culture and I find other places worse for robberies. However, this is not an easy topic to discuss. There was a website called pebodycount which I think has stopped that kept a record of all the murdered and it came up with even higher figures: http://rt.com/news/death-clock-counts-victims-of-brazil-s-murder-capital/ Back to why Recife? Well Recife is a different city to Salvador. Salvador is one of the top 3 tourist attractions in Brazil, together with Rio and Foz. Recife was always a bit more off the beaten track and more interesting. Mangue town with a real energy and the greatest city of the nordeste IMHO. I found no other city sells so many cocos and no where do they taste as good.

I think you made a great decision, and certainly hope to hear more about that city. I taught English in Sao Paulo, and somewhat ended up in Rio for a couple months as well, but mostly teaching and living in SP. Everyone in Brazil said that SP was the coldest place emotionally from the people, but they were still much warmer than any other country I'd ever been. I long thought that if I were to go back to Brazil, I'd quickly choose a northeastern city like Fortaleza, Maceio, or Sao Luis...not a lot of jobs, I don't think...but a good quality of life nontheless, and something would come up. Very cool that you're the first person I've known on the Brazil forum that has ever lived in Sao Luis! (I've been following this forum off and on since the beginning). Also, very interesting to hear your experiences in Porto Alegre and Salvador. Hope to hear some other impressions of other places if you visit anywhere else in Brazil as well!

Although Maranhao is one of the poorest states it has to be one of the most beautiful! I went to lencois maranheses recently and....wow! Sao Luis has lots of character but if I did it all again I would probably go to natal or fortaleza as they are more cosmopolitan and feel less cut off.

This city,just like South Korea,has a very strickt beauty pattern for women.If you are over the age of 26,you are considered old,If you don't fit in sizes between 0 and 8,you are considered extreamly obese.Get ready to lie about your age and get started on a low calory diet.Make sure to bring,at least, 2 pairs of good jeans,if you wear over a size 8. In the other hand,for guys,you can get just as fat as you like.Fashionable mens stores have sizes up to 20 and most girls,over here,do find overweight men very attractive,specially if they are foreigners.You will be considered "dateble" even if you are as old as 75.Don't bring razors,girls,over here,like them as hairy and fat as teddy bears ð»ð»ð» Don't dye your hair in exotic colours or try exotic hair styles,that's not welcome over here.Having piercings and tattoos are ok,as long as they look discrete.
