The Olympus Stylus 780 offers both hardware image stabilization and software anti-blur in a very pocket friendly chassis, and includes both a seven megapixel CCD image sensor and Olympus-branded 5x optical zoom lens - a more useful range than the 3x zooms in most digicams. There's also a 2.5" LCD display with a higher than average resolution of 230,000 pixels. The LCD is a wide-view type that allows good visibility within a useful 140 degree angle - good to have, given that the camera offers no other form of viewfinder on which to frame images..
The Olympus 780 packs these features into an all-weather metal body that can handle rain, dust and snow. Other features include a whopping 19 scene modes, as well as a not-so-generous 15MB of built-in memory, and an xD-Picture card storage slot. Power comes courtesy of a proprietary Lithium Ion battery. The Olympus Stylus 780 ships from May 2007, priced at $349.99.
Dual Image Stabilization, Shadow Adjustment Technology and Perfect Shot Preview Enable Users to Capture Beautiful Images Like a Pro
CENTER VALLEY, Pa, March 5, 2007 – Olympus today announced the Stylus 780, a 7.1-megapixel digital compact camera with technologies from Olympus' next-generation digital single lens reflex (SLR) camera for taking crisp, clear photographs in a variety of active situations. The ultra compact 5x optical zoom point-and-shoot camera includes:
"The Stylus 780 keeps with the Stylus heritage, appealing to stylish and sophisticated digital compact users who are looking for the convenience of All-Weather durability combined with superior image quality," said Tomoko Matsunaga, product manager, Olympus Imaging America Inc. "Stylus 780 consumers will benefit from technologies, such as TruePic III and Shadow Adjustment Technology, which were developed for our next-generation digital SLR camera."
Dual Image Stabilization Dual Image Stabilization technology combines two technologies – mechanical Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization and Digital Image Stabilization – to provide one powerful anti-blur solution for capturing great images whether the photographer or the image is moving. Olympus' mechanical Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization keeps images sharp by adjusting the CCD image sensor to compensate for camera movement, which often occurs in low-light conditions when shutter speeds are slower. Digital Image Stabilization freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speeds that prevent blurry images often caused by a moving subject. By combining the two technologies, Stylus 780 users are able to take crystal clear images in virtually any shooting situation.
Shadow Adjustment Technology with Face Detection Auto Focus and Auto Exposure Shooting outdoors in bright daylight can be tricky because of the extreme contrast between dark shadowed areas and bright sunlight areas – while the human eye is capable of detecting the nuances between dark and light and all the details in between, image sensors traditionally have not been quite as sensitive. The Stylus 780 addresses this challenge head-on with a new Shadow Adjustment Technology, which compensates for extreme contrast where the shadow areas are underexposed and lack visible detail. With the new technology, users can preview and capture images that have the same contrast as seen with the naked eye. Combined with Face Detection Auto Focus and Auto Exposure, the Stylus 780 captures smiles in shadows without getting a dark image in difficult lighting such as in backlight situations. The technology can also be turned-off for any shooting situation where shadows are a key element of a photograph's drama.
Perfect Shot Preview The Stylus 780 features a Perfect Shot Preview mode that enables users to view and select various photography effects on the multi-view screen before even snapping the shot. The new feature allows users to see precisely what the image will look like when adjustments are made, ensuring users are capturing the exact image they want. It's an ideal way for novice users to learn about the effects of different photography techniques, such as exposure compensation, white balance and metering.
TruePic III for High-Speed Response The Stylus 780 features a new, more powerful TruePic III image processor developed for the demanding performance of professional digital SLR (single lens reflex) cameras. The new processor captures beautiful images with superior quality and eliminates graininess. Even pastel colors are reproduced in true-to-life colors across the entire photograph.
Bright Capture Technology for Easy Low-Light Photography There are times when a photographic opportunity is best captured with ambient light (e.g., when trying to capture the softness and warmth of a candlelit dinner or natural skin tones in subdued lighting). Olympus' Bright Capture Technology makes it possible to clearly compose and capture subjects on the LCD in low light. Specific scene modes for high sensitivity settings (up to ISO 2500) and rapid auto-focus enable even fast-action photos to be captured with low levels of available light. Plus, Bright Capture Movie lets you record the moments in the dark even after the candles are blown out!
Large 2.5-Inch HyperCrystal™ LCD The Stylus 780 boasts a large, high-resolution HyperCrystal™ LCD with high contrast and anti-glare technology for clear visibility – even when composing subjects with the sun at your back. Images are viewable on the 2.5-inch LCD from 140-degrees, so photos can be composed from a range of angles and viewed by several people at once.
5x Optical Zoom in Ultra-slim Body Design The Stylus 780 features new lens technology that enables the 5x optical zoom lens (36mm – 180mm, f3.3 – f 5.0 equivalent in 35mm photography) to bring the action five times closer, and then tucks away into a compact body less than 1-inch thick. Stylus 780 users can get 60 percent closer to their subjects than comparable digital compact cameras with 3x zoom on the market.
All-Weather Durability Typically, moisture and photography are a bad combination, limiting outdoor photography options when rain, snow or sleet is involved. Stylus digital cameras are renowned for their ability to withstand the elements. The Stylus 780 features a metal body that is durable and lightweight with rubber gaskets throughout the interior to help ensure that rain, dust and snow won't get in the way of great photos.
7.1-Megapixel Image Sensor for Superior Image Quality The 7.1-megapixel CCD image sensor inside the Stylus 780 delivers high-quality images that are consistently sharp and vivid even when printed in large-formats – up to poster sizes as large as 16 x 20 inches.
Pre-Set Shooting Modes Make It Easy to Capture Great Images The Stylus 780 has 23 shooting modes including several pre-set scene modes such as Beach & Snow, Available Light Portrait and Sunset. The cameras also feature an AVI Movie Mode, which enables users to record VGA-quality videos with sound, limited only by the size of the xD-Picture Card™.
Built-In Help Guides With the Help Guides function, each camera feature is easily accessible even to novice users. By simply holding down the Guide button users can access brief descriptions of each of the camera's functions and scene modes. An improved auto-set Shooting Guide provides users with an explanation of which features to use in a given situation, and then sets the camera automatically for the selected feature in the Guide.
Stylish, Ergonomic Body Design with Large Illuminated Buttons The body design shared by the Stylus 780 is defined by high-performance, durability and style. In addition to the All-Weather, metal body construction that made the Stylus famous, the Stylus 780 features large illuminated buttons that make the camera easy to operate, even in dark settings. The Stylus 780 is available in silver and black.
In-camera Editing In-camera editing features such as red-eye fix, resizing, frames, text options, color brightness and saturation adjustments enable users to edit photos right in the camera.
OLYMPUS Master™ Software OLYMPUS Master™ software provides the ultimate in digital imaging management. An intuitive user interface makes downloading to your computer quick and simple, and images are easily organized by folders or albums. And with one-click editing tools, such as red-eye removal, images can be touched up before printing or e-mailing. Online support, templates, firmware upgrades and other user services are just a mouse-click away. Use the optional muvee™ Theater Pack to create professional quality slide shows and DVDs from your pictures using any of several built-in templates.
Availability The Stylus 780 will be available in May 2007. The camera ships with: a wrist strap, WIN/Mac USB cable, audio/video cable, LI-42B Li-Ion rechargeable battery and charger, instruction manual, warranty card, and a CD-ROM with OLYMPUS Master Software.

The topicality of this musical drama is powerfully poignant.
The Showstoppers' Kids Show is a variation for 3-10 year-olds of the long-running improvisational musical show by the same name.
In July 2016, the unsung heroine of Musical Movies, Marni Nixon passed away in New York City aged 86.
Amidst strewn cardboard packing boxes, the cast gradually regain consciousness. "What a night!" groans Tom, playing a father, whose life is in tatters.
"It used to be, sitting there in the dark, you knew that when the show began you would be taken to another world, a world full of colour and music and glamour."
"The Forces' Sweetheart" was admirably represented by Melanie Gall at Thursday night's recital. A modest attendance nonetheless appreciated this captivating performance.
It's the theatrical experience Henry Cyril Paget, 5th Marquess of Anglesey would have hope for. An ornate stage, colourful lighting and, most of all, an appreciative audience.
Knock them dead!----
Challenging theme makes a point.
No flies on this Peter Pan, but plenty else to admire.

Merry Christmas to all my readers and your families!
Enjoy this time spent with family and remember the greatest gift we could be given was given to us by God in the birth of His Son!
I'll get back to regular posts next weekend.
Merry Christmas to all my readers and your families!
Enjoy this time spent with family and remember the greatest gift we could be given was given to us by God in the birth of His Son!
I'll get back to regular posts next weekend.
This week I thought I'd take a short break from the series to give you a preview of what I've got planned coming up.
So far I've gone over Theology and then moved onto other "ologies" that are related to the study of God. Those have included Epistemology and Eschatology, each with their own posts after the first two weeks just being on Theology overall.
Going forward, there will be more "ologies" and the next one planned will be on Soteriology. But that's not all. I will also be digging into key terms that people often have difficulty with or trip up on as they aren't necessarily common terms in everyday English. Two examples will be Justification and then another post on Epistles. Those more versed in the faith will know what I'm talking about, otherwise (unless you work in law) you may not truly understand words like Justification. We'll be getting to that.
Currently, I'm planning to end the series with posts on Biblical Theology, Systemic Theology, Covenant Theology, and Dispensational Theology. Each of these will receive at least one post each if not more.
If I count up my current topics left to hit, I have…1…2…3………….. …16 more topics to hit. So, I have at least 16 more posts/weeks of material at the minimum. Now, some of these will likely be in 2 parts which could stretch this out but I may just post more than once in a week to keep from stretching things out too far. I currently have no plans to have a particular topic stretch more than one post; however, with the finale being in bigger areas like Covenantal & Dispensational Theology….yeah, those may take more.
So, at this time it is 16 more posts in the series after this post which means 16 more weeks or, just be all the more obvious, 4 months of posts. No need for us to rush. On that note, expect Soteriology next week!
The study of final things.
This area of study is more directly an area of study within theology unlike epistemology – which was more directly an area of study from philosophy.
It is concerned with studying and understanding what has been revealed about the end of times – the end of the world as we know it. This inherently involves what happens to us after we die as well as what happens after the world comes to its end.
"1834, from Latinized form of Greek eskhatos "last, furthest, uttermost, extreme, most remote" in time, space, degree (from PIE *eghs-ko-, suffixed form of *eghs "out;" see ex-) + -ology. In theology, the study of the four last things (death, judgment, heaven, hell). Related: Eschatological; eschatologically."
This area of study involves a diversity of views and can also involve a diversity of responses – some aggressive and others not so much. The reason for such diversity in response often gets rooted in the individual's associated angle of viewing theology (like in Covenantal Theology vs. Dispensational Theology). As you probably already know, people can get very passionate about their views. Nevertheless, such differences also make clear all the more that not everyone agrees on how the end times will play out – or have largely already played out if you're a Preterist.
I do not intend to give an exhaustive introduction to all the different views; however, I do want to at least attempt to provide some clarity to some of the terms that get thrown around to define one's position in this area of theology.
In this eschatology, there are what I would call four "general" overarching views within which more specifically named eschatological views can be found.
These include Historicist, Preterist, Futurist, and Spiritualist.
Historicist isn't as common anymore but it still has its adherents. It largely ties various events in history to particular mentions in Scripture. In other words, it commonly looks to tie end times fulfillments to particular points in time and space. Preterist and Futurist have a tendency to do the same but much less. How? Well, the Preterist will read the end times fulfillment as being largely completed in the times shortly after Christ's death leaving the rest to be fulfilled into the present time. Futurist, if you couldn't guess by the name, places much of the end times fulfillment into the future. Those with a more Spiritual (or Spiritualist) view take many of the fulfillments less literally and lean toward a metaphorical interpretation that can be applied to all of the time since Christ to the present – what some have termed the "Present-age" view.
If that description seems muddy…..well that's because there's variance within each. The short of it is that Historicist isn't that common anymore and often gets ignored. Preterist has adherents (like R.C. Sproul) who view much of fulfillment as already passed. Futurist sees things as in the future, and Spiritual don't tie themselves to a specific time frame except that the end times refer to the time frame from Christ to now.
These four overarching angles do not get as much time spoken about these days as the next 3 terms/positions. Those include Premillennial, Postmillennial, and Amillennial. I want to note that these 3 are not concerned with the end times as a whole as much as they are focused on a particular event – the millennial kingdom as mentioned in Revelation 20:2-7.
To make this very brief:
Premillennial – before the millennium – Christ's return ushers in the millennial kingdom.
Postmillennial – after the millennium – a period of prosperity & Christ-likeness lead by Christians leading up to Christ's return.
Amillennial – not a "real" millennium – there is no literal, physical millennial kingdom. The millennium refers instead to this present church age.
Each of these has varying potential to appear within each of the 4 before mentioned general overarching views of eschatology. As an example, most Futurists would also be described as Premillennial. However, there are also Historic Premillennialists which I believe John Piper would label himself as – though it be his own version (which you can find plenty "own versions" out there if you look at the various views held by church leaders over the years).
I would have to say that Premillennialism and Amillennialism are the most prevalent today with Pre being clearly the one with the most adherents as of this writing. Not that number of adherents is any proof of a view's validity but it is good to be aware.
Those adhering to Dispensational Theology (ex. include First Baptist churches) are typically Premillennial whereas the Covenantal Theologians (ex. include Presbyterians & some Baptist) are more or less Amillennial.
As you can imagine just by the descriptions so far, there is much room for variance leading to a diversity of views on eschatology. Regardless of the view one ends up taking, I personally always advise people to remember to ground their view in Scripture. Sadly, there have been those who have taken an idea or another from a piece of Scripture, run with it, and have driven themselves to a point that they had to deny other parts of the Scriptures to continue holding to the view they established. This is the territory of heresy, and there is no need for it as there are much more biblically-based views already in existence and continue to stand because of their dependence on Scripture to justify the position. In short, when in doubt, always seek out the Scriptures first and read them in light of other parts of Scripture. Also, make use of your church leaders. They are an invaluable source of information, direction, and previous study.
Now, some may ask – what about Judaic eschatology or Islamic eschatology? Why didn't you bring them up? My answer: while I recognize these other belief systems do have their own eschatology, they are not part of Christianity and this blog site is focused on Christianity. However, I could see the possibility of doing some kind of comparison with them down the road – stay tuned!
Epistemology – a big word referring to the study of knowledge itself.
This isn't as cut and dry to define as some areas of study as it is effectively a branch of philosophy but still an important one for those studying the Scriptures.
"Theory of knowledge" is another common definition of this area of study.
"1856, coined by Scottish philosopher James F. Ferrier (1808-1864) from Greek episteme "knowledge, acquaintance with (something), skill, experience," from Ionic Greek epistasthai "know how to do, understand," literally "overstand," from epi "over, near" (see epi-) + histasthai "to stand," from PIE root *sta- "to stand, make or be firm." The scientific (as opposed to philosophical) study of the roots and paths of knowledge is epistemics (1969). Related: Epistemological; epistemologically."
Ultimately, it is an area of study focused on truth and our ability to know what that truth is. Knowledge of the truth inevitably involves our ability to understand that truth. As finite (limited) beings, we have to seriously consider our ability to know anything in particular and this area of study is focused on understanding our ability to know as well as justify belief. This includes our ability to decipher between truth and fiction, fact and opinion.
Three famous questions within this area of study include:
Is it possible to have knowledge at all?
Does reason provide us with knowledge of the world independently of experience?
Does our knowledge represent reality as it really is?
This last one is the one I find myself pondering the most. Why? As I believe God is truth, I often wonder whether my understanding of His truth is accurate as to who God is and the nature of the universe He created. Do I truly understand it as God meant it or for that matter how He sees it?
Anyway, there are five (that I'm aware of) main approaches or perspectives on knowledge within epistemology which include:
1. Skepticism
2. Rationalism
3. Empiricism
4. Constructivism
5. Relativism
I can think of examples of each of these and their impacts on US culture alone and I'm sure there are others. Even so, I'll end this introduction here. I recommend a closer look at this study as you will probably find your thoughts have wandered into this philosophical realm of thinking at some point or another. Of particular note is what it means for all those who claim to believe in the one God of the Bible and our knowledge of Him.

I am so glad I found this site. For the life of me I cannot bring myself to talk about what I found out with anyone.

Really nice website. Very good information. Everything is so down to earth and straightforward. easy to understand. For me, is is an eye opener. I did not know most of the things on here. I really was taking so many things for granted.

I am from the Uk and this is the first site I have found which has been any help! My X partner and I have been split up for 10 yrs now, but I still struggle with the hurt that is continuously with me. I have remarried but yet still can not find inner peace.

Joseph Banks (1743 – 1820) managed during his life to become one of the most respected botanists and naturalists on the Earth, claiming such position in history by his relentless dedication to natural sciences and first-hand experience in both gathering data from the several expeditions he took part of, and for personally managing scientific efforts of the Royal Botanic Gardens where he held position of President for 41 years and several other similar organizations that he helped create and popularize.
Joseph Banks was born on 24 February 1743 in 30 Argyll Street, London, as the son of the William Banks member of the House of Commons, and his wife Sarah. He received education at Harrow School and Eton College and University of Oxford. During his entire youth he was attracted to the nature, history and exploration of plant life, all of which pushed him to pursue the career of botanist. After the death of his father, he inherited large wealth and continued his education outside of Oxford, keeping acquaintances with as much scientists he could come in contact with. At the age of 23 he was elected to the Royal Society, which enabled him to become part of the crew that visited Newfoundland and Labrador on the frigate HMS Niger. During that journey Banks made several notable records that are still referenced today.
Just two years later in 1768 Joseph Banks received posting to join the crew of HMS Endeavour who was commanded by the legendary English explorer James Cook. This expedition in the end lasted more than 3 years, enabling Banks and 7 more scientists to witness newly discovered lands that were not visited by any other European or American. In Brazil, Banks made discovery of now common garden plant bougainvillea, on Tahiti he observed transit of Venus between Earth and Sun, recorded findings on plant life in New Zealand and spent several months exploring Australia, more precisely Botany Bay (today's location of city of Sidney) and Endeavour River in Queensland. His records of Australian fauna that were published in England in 35 volumes made him one of the most famous botanists of his time.
After returning home, he was welcomed as a hero. He was promoted into position of Baron, held several notable positions such as president of Royal Society, played important position in promoting Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, organized numerous expeditions, assigned scientist to go on such journeys, and financed efforts for creation of the first precise geological map of England. Another important part of his legacy was his continuous effort to convince British government to colonize Australia, increase trade and remain in closer contact with governors of the English territories on that continent.
He died on 19 June 1820 at the age of 77 as one of the most accomplished scientists of his time.

LeBron James, Kyrie Irving lead Cavs past Warriors in Game 5 of NBA Finals
OAKLAND, Calif. >> LeBron James and Kyrie Irving became the first teammates to each top 40 points in the same NBA Finals game, and the Cleveland Cavaliers staved off elimination by beating the Golden State Warriors 112-97 on Monday night.
James had 41 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists. Irving had 41 points on 17 for 24 shooting and added six assists for the Cavaliers. Game 6 of the series is Thursday in Cleveland.
Klay Thompson scored 37 points and Stephen Curry had 25 for the Warriors, who were without the suspended Draymond Green for the game. They lost Andrew Bogut early in the third quarter to a left knee injury.
It was tied at 61-61 at the half. Cleveland owned the second half, outscoring the hosts 51-36. For James, it's now 26 consecutive series with at least one road win, extending his NBA record.
Golden State now leads the series 3-2. The Warriors clinched last year's title with a Game 6 win on the Cavs' home floor.

TORONTO, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Gay men who are not considered sexually desirable are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior, Canadians researchers have found.
Researchers at the University of Toronto say homosexual men may also develop psychological problems as a consequence of feeling undesirable.
Adam Isaiah Green interviewed dozens of gay men in Toronto to determine what qualities made some men more sexually desirable than others, and what the consequences of being undesirable might be on mental and physical health.
"I found that young, white, middle-class men are considered much more sexually desirable than men who are racial minorities, over 40 and poor," Green said in a statement. "I also learned that for gay men, being considered sexually undesirable can have serious health consequences, ranging from psychological issues to risky sexual behavior."
The study, published in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, found that undesirable gay men face stigmatization, avoidance and outright rejection, which can lead to depression, anxiety and alcohol abuse. It also highlighted cases whereby undesirable gay men will forgo safe-sex discussion and, in some cases, condom use, in the context of sex with a more attractive partner.

Five different types of carsharing users
Sustainable, individual and flexible – that's why carsharing is so good. And that's why it's being used in an ever-increasing number of large cities. Thanks to the individual and flexible options it offers, carsharing is ideal for a wide range of people.
The future of mobility – without owning a car: Can you make it?
"What does the future of Mobility look like?": The participants of the "RED BULL CAN YOU MAKE IT?" car2go Challenge reveal their ideas.
Why sharing is better than owning
Sharing is defined as "to partake of, use, experience, occupy, or enjoy with others". But why is it actually better to share than to have something just for yourself?
Travel the world without money – Can you make it?
We're all familiar with the problem – if you have the time to travel you don't have the money, if you have the money you don't have the time. So how can you travel with the time you have, but without any money? The participants in the event "RED BULL CAN YOU MAKE IT?" are traveling across Europe for one week with no money at all.

Bradley D. Back

403 Cutchins Mill Road
Chipley, Florida 32428
DearMr. Back:
During an inspection of your firm located in Chipley, Florida on November 6 – 7, 2013, an investigator from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that your firm imports, remanufactures, and repairs a variety of reusable pulse oximetry (SpO2) probes and sensors. Under Section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) (21 U.S.C. § 321(h)), these products are devices because they are intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or are intended to affect the structure or function of the body.
Additionally, under 21 CFR 807.3(d), FDA considers your firm to be a manufacturer with respect to your firm's remanufacture of reusable SpO2 probes and sensors as your firm does not use the same component specifications as the original OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Significant changes made to the device components such as cables, photo detectors, and LEDs during your firm's remanufacturing activities could affect the performance and/or safety specifications. Furthermore, the changes you make during remanufacturing of the reusable SpO2 devices may involve changes not covered by the premarket notifications held by the OEMs.
The current inspection revealed that these devices are adulterated within the meaning of section 501(h) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 351(h)], in that the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, its manufacture, packing, storage, or installation are not in conformity with the current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) requirements of the Quality System (QS) regulation found at Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 820.
We received your written response dated November 21, 2013, concerning our investigator's observations issued to you on the Form FDA 483, Inspectional Observations (FDA 483). In your response, you failed to outline the specific steps that you will take to establish and follow written procedures and policies designed to comply with current FDA regulations, therefore; your response is inadequate.
The violations include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. You failed to establish and maintain procedures to control the design of your SpO2 devices in order to ensure that specified design requirements are met, as required by 21 CFR 820.30(a).
For example, your firm failed to develop procedures for design control. Additionally, during the inspection, you stated your firm has developed drawings of different designs of SpO2devices; however, your firm has not documented whether the significant changes performed in the remanufacturing of the SpO2 devices would require the firm to submit a 510(k) submission.
2. You failed to establish procedures for corrective and preventive action (CAPA), as required by 21 CFR 820.100(a).
For example, your firm failed to establish procedures for the following requirements:
a) Analyzing processes, work operations, concessions, quality audit reports, quality records, service records, complaints, returned product, and other sources of quality data to identify existing and potential causes of nonconforming product, or other quality problems;
b) Investigating the cause of nonconformities relating to product, processes, and the quality system;
c) Identifying the action(s) needed to correct and prevent recurrence of nonconforming product and other quality problems;
d) Verifying or validating the CAPA to ensure such action is effective and does not adversely affect the finished device;
e) Implementing and recording changes in methods and procedures needed to correct and prevent identified quality problems;
f) Ensuring information related to quality problems or nonconforming product is disseminated to those directly responsible for assuring the quality of such product or the prevention of such problems; and,
g) Submitting relevant information on identified quality problems, as well as CAPAs, for management review.
3. You failed to establish and maintain procedures for receiving, reviewing, and evaluating complaints by a formally designated unit, as required by 21 CFR 820.198(a). Such procedures shall ensure complaints are evaluated to determine whether the complaint represents an event which is required to be reported to FDA per 21 CFR 803.
For example, your firm has not established standard operating procedures to determine if a complaint received represents an MDR reportable event. You failed to implement a standard operating procedure to ensure:
a) All complaints are processed in a uniform and timely manner;
b) Oral complaints are documented upon receipt; and,
c) Complaints are evaluated to determine whether the complaint represents an event which is required to be reported to FDA, as required by 21 CFR 803.
4. You failed to establish and maintain procedures to ensure all purchased or otherwise received product and services conform to specified requirements, as required by 21 CFR 820.50.
For example, you stated your firm has not established purchasing control procedures. Additionally, your firm has not performed an evaluation of your suppliers of cables, photo detectors, and LEDs used in the manufacture of your reusable SpO2 devices. Your firm has also not established and maintained a record of acceptable suppliers.
5. You failed to establish procedures for quality audits and conduct such audits to assure that the quality system is in compliance with the established quality system requirements and to determine the effectiveness of the quality system, as required by 21 CFR 820.22.
6. You failed to establish and maintain procedures for acceptance activities, including inspections, tests, or other verification activities, as required by 21 CFR 820.80(a).
For example: Your firm has not established a written acceptance procedure and has no documentation of testing on your finished SpO2 devices, to include, what acceptance activities are performed and the results; the signature and date of the individual(s) conducting the acceptance activities; where appropriate, the equipment used; and instructions for when failing results are obtained.
Additionally, as required by 21 CFR 820.80(e), you must document and maintain acceptance activities as part of the Device History Record (DHR).
7. You failed to establish, maintain, and document procedures for ensuring all personnel are trained to adequately perform their assigned responsibilities and for identifying training needs, as required by 21 CFR 820.25(b).
For example, your firm failed to document training activities for employees involved in manufacturing processes such as soldering, gluing, and silicone application to ensure that each process is completed to specifications consistently. In addition, procedures for identifying training needs were not established, documented, and implemented to ensure all personnel are trained to perform their assigned duties.
8. You failed to establish and maintain procedures to ensure that equipment is routinely calibrated, inspected, checked, and maintained, as required by 21 CFR 820.72(a).
For example, your firm has not established procedures to ensure equipment used to test finished SpO2 probes is routinely calibrated and maintained.
9. You failed to develop, conduct, control, and monitor production processes to ensure that a device conforms to its specifications, as required by 21 CFR 820.70(a). Where deviations from device specifications could occur as a result of the manufacturing process, the manufacturer shall establish and maintain process control procedures that describe any process controls necessary to ensure conformance to specifications. Where process controls are needed they shall include:
a) Documented instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and methods that define and control the manner of production;
b) Monitoring and control of process parameters and component and device characteristics during production;
c) Compliance with specified reference standards or codes;
d) The approval of processes and process equipment; and
e) Criteria for workmanship which shall be expressed in documented standards or by means of identified and approved representative samples.
For example, your firm has no process controls such as documented instructions, incoming and finished product inspection and testing, or manufacturing procedures to cover the processes performed at your facility.
Our inspection also revealed that your medical devices are misbranded under section 502(t)(2) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 352(t)(2)] in that your firm failed or refused to furnish material or information respecting the device that as required by or under section 519 of the Act (21 U.S.C. § 360i) and 21 CFR Part 803 - Medical Device Reporting (MDR) regulation. The significant violation includes but is not limited to, the following:
Failure to develop, maintain and implement written MDR procedures, as required by 21 CFR 803.17. For example, you told the investigator, during the inspection, you were not aware of this requirement and your firm does not have MDR procedures.
You should take prompt action to correct the violations addressed in this letter. Failure to promptly correct these violations may result in regulatory action being initiated by the Food and Drug Administration without further notice. These actions include, but are not limited to: seizure, injunction, and/or civil money penalties. Also, federal agencies are advised of the issuance of all Warning Letters about devices so that they may take this information into account when considering the award of contracts. Additionally, premarket approval applications for Class III devices to which the Quality System regulation violations are reasonably related will not be approved until the violations have been corrected. Requests for Certificates to Foreign Governments will not be granted until the violations related to the subject device have been corrected.
Please notify this office in writing within fifteen (15) business days from the date you receive this letter of the specific steps you have taken to correct the noted violations, as well as an explanation of how you plan to prevent these violations, or similar violations, from occurring again. Include documentation of the corrections and/or corrective actions you have taken. If your planned corrections and/or corrective actions will occur over time, please include a timetable for implementation of these activities. If corrections and/or corrective actions cannot be completed within 15 business days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which these activities will be completed. Your response should be comprehensive and address all violations included in this letter.
Your response should be sent to: Erica M. Katherine, Compliance Officer, Food and Drug Administration, 555 Winderley Place, Suite 200, Maitland, Florida, 32751. If you have any questions about the content of this letter please contact: Erica M. Katherine at (407) 475-4731.
Finally, you should know that this letter is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of the violations at your facility. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations administered by FDA. The specific violations noted in this letter and in the FDA 483 issued at the closeout of the inspection may be symptomatic of serious problems in your firm's manufacturing and quality management systems. You should investigate and determine the causes of the violations, and take prompt actions to correct the violations and to bring your products into compliance.

Newcastle legend Milt Swanson passes away
January 21, 2014
By Staff
NEW — 10:55 a.m. Jan. 21, 2014
The Newcastle Historical Society announced that founding member and local legend Milt Swanson died Jan. 20.
Swanson, who was born and raised in Newcastle, spent all of his 95 years living in the same area, 90 of which were in the same company house that still stands at the edge of town near the Cougar Mountain trailhead.
He knew more about the city's vast coal-mining history than anyone, because he actually lived it. He worked in the mines as his father and grandfather did before him.
"He will be missed by many who knew and loved him, but his legacy will live on in all the artifacts and stories he has so generously given to the Newcastle Historical Society," society member Vickie Baima Olson wrote in an email.
Swanson moved to the Regency Newcastle assisted living facility in December after he fell at his home. He fell again Jan. 14 and was taken to Overlake Hospital, where a hematoma developed and he lapsed into a coma, Olson said.
"At the Regency, he continued to share his vast knowledge of the history and geology of Newcastle, while continuing to read and learn," Olson said.
Swanson was 95. Learn more about Swanson's remarkable life in this Newcastle News feature from 2012: www.newcastle-news.com/2012/08/02/a-coal-mining-life.
Newcastle News invites you to share your memories of Swanson below in the comments.

I knew Milt many years ago through mutual friends, when I kept my horse trailer at his farm. Friends and I rode our horses on the Cougar Mt. trails up over the top and down the other side and back around the mountain. It was quite hairy in places and always an adventure. Milt was such a nice and interesting person. I enjoyed his stories of the "olden days" In the area and was saddened to just hear that he had moved from his farm and then had medical issues. I'm glad he lived to 95 as he was such a bonus to the area with his knowledge of the history from the old days.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is the latest anti-immigrant Republican to claim, with absolutely no evidence, that undocumented immigrants could be sneaking across the southern border carrying Ebola, a disease that is currently contained in a handful of countries in West Africa.
Roll Call reports that Gingrich and Tom DeLay, who served alongside him as majority whip, fielded questions about immigration at a reunion last night for members of the House GOP class of 1994:
Gingrich and DeLay also fielded questions about immigration policy, though neither acknowledged the growing realization among many of their peers that if the GOP doesn't take some affirmative stance on the issue in the next two years, they could pay for it at the polls in 2016.
Gingrich said a porous border meant undocumented individuals could come into the United States carrying Ebola. Wicker piped in that if Congress were ever to try again to pass a comprehensive immigration overhaul legislation, it would have to be piecemeal, and the very first bill — a border security bill — would need to be signed into law by the president before lawmakers did anything else.
DeLay said that he didn't support "amnesty," per se, but did think the GOP needed to do "some sort of visa reform" to allow immigrants to "come and work honestly" in the country.
The Ebola claim is just the most extreme manifestation of the anti-immigrant movement's baseless attempts to link undocumented immigrants — particularly the wave of children fleeing violence in Central America — to disease, an age-old strategy meant to stir up anti-immigrant hysteria.

|Xpath & Namespaces
|Thu, 15 Jul 2004 00:46:30 GMT
Hi there, I'm evaluating XMLBeans but have run into a problem using simple Xpath expressions with namespaces. I'm using the attached schema and xml file from the "Getting Started with XMLBeans" section of the Apache site http://xml.apache.org/xmlbeans/docs/guide/conGettingStartedwithXMLBeans.html Using selectPath with the following strings on the original XML file (which contains namespaces on each element) I get the following results: 1a: "declare namespace po = 'http://openuri.org/easypo'" + "./po:purchase-order/po:line-item" -> Returns 2 entries 1b: "declare namespace po = 'http://openuri.org/easypo' " + " ./po:purchase-order/po:line-item[2]" -> Returns 0 entries Result 1b would seem to be incorrect. Changing the XML file to just use a default namespace I get the following: 2a: "./purchase-order/line-item" -> Returns 2 entries 2b: "./purchase-order/line-item[2]" -> Returns 1 entry Result 2b is now correct. So it would appear that using the positional predicate only works with default namespaces. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or whether this is something fixable or what. Thanks in advance for any help. - Andrew Andrew Mould Ascert, LLC 415 339-8500 x108. www.ascert.com (Ascert is the parent company of SoftSell Business Systems)

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 11, 2013 — Old Pulteney Single Malt Scotch Whisky announced the release of 'The Navigator', the newest addition to its distinguished portfolio. Dedicated to the sailing community and the skillful individuals piloting ships safely across the seas, 'Navigator' pays homage to its birthplace while offering Old Pulteney fans an exciting, limited-edition expression true to the malt's award-winning character.
Referred to as "The Maritime Malt," Old Pulteney embodies the seafaring history and heritage of Wick, Scotland, where it is distilled. The distillery was founded in 1826 by James Henderson at the height of Wick's herring boom. It lies in the heart of "Pulteneytown," which was settled during its heyday as one of the largest and most important herring fishing ports in Europe. Ships carrying more than 7000 workers, and whisky drinkers, navigated to and from its shores during that time.
While advancements have been made in production, Old Pulteney maintains its integrity by carefully crafting every drop of whisky using time-honored processes. As great navigators still look to the sun, the wind and the stars, Old Pulteney relies on its traditional methods and unique stills. The bottle is a reflection of the stills' pot belly shape.
Navigator is honeycomb in appearance and full-bodied with bursts of honey, cocoa and oranges. Its long-lasting, spicy finish delivers notes of the salty and fresh air of the North Sea, located right outside the Old Pulteney distillery. Navigators across the world will find a dram as pleasing as a red sky at night – as the old saying goes: "Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky at morning, sailor's warning."
"As such an integral part of the rich maritime heritage of its birthplace and as the Official Scotch of US Sailing, we've worked to bring Old Pulteney's brand to life through various partnerships and promotions," said Patrick Graney, President of International Beverage, USA. "It is only natural Old Pulteney also release a malt that truly celebrates that community and the skilled people within it."
Now in its second year, the Old Pulteney Maritime Heroes Award was also launched to commemorate stand-out individuals associated with the maritime lifestyle. The award recognizes men and women across the United States who have made outstanding contributions to the sport of sailing and/or their local sailing communities.
Navigator features special packaging including an illustration of a compass, an essential tool in the art of navigation, and Old Pulteney's traditional herring drifter. Aqua blue fills the background, further invoking a connection with the sea. Old Pulteney Navigator is available in select markets across the U.S. at a suggested retail price of $49.99. The core Old Pulteney line includes a 12 year Old, 17 Year Old and 21 Year Old. Old Pulteney 21 Year Old won the prestigious Jim Murray Whisky Bible, World Whisky of the Year in 2012. Visit Old Pulteney on Facebook or at http://www.oldpulteney.com for more information.

Routine test at leading Calgary clinic finds overlooked cancer
Early detection led to successful outcome for recent convert to Copeman Healthcare
Brad Watson, 58 years old and recently retired, describes himself as a generally healthy guy. So when his wife urged him to undergo an assessment with the Copeman Healthcare Centre in Calgary, there was no underlying health concern as far he was aware.
"Neither of us had noticed anything in particular," he says. "She just thought it might be a good idea to get a more comprehensive look at my overall health. I'd heard positive things about Copeman and thought I'd might as well."
Like all new Copeman patients, Brad underwent an initial prevention screen as part of the LifePlus Program, undertaking various tests and meeting with a family physician, dietitian, kinesiologist and family health nurse.
It was following one of those standard tests that his new Copeman physician, Dr. Siddiqui, noticed there was an increasing trend in his PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) levels.
"I told him that I'd recently had a free blood test through the 'Man Van' prostate awareness campaign at a local motorcycle show," Brad recalls. "It had suggested my levels might be a bit high and that I should speak with my family doctor. But when I talked to my previous doctor about it he said previous tests and digital exams indicated things were OK and that he'd check it again in a year's time."
Upon delving further into Brad's family history, Copeman's Dr. Siddiqui decided that additional investigation was in fact warranted and set Brad up with an appointment with a urologist.
"I got in with the specialist, they did a biopsy and confirmed that I did indeed have prostate cancer," says Brad.
Within a very short time, Brad underwent surgery to have his prostate removed. Post-surgery results showed that while there was a significant amount of cancer within the prostate itself, the disease had fortunately been contained.
"Following surgery my levels went down, and my six-month follow-ups have shown everything is fine," says Brad. "I've been given a clean bill of health on that front, so that's really good news."
The right decision – the right kind of care
Brad says he feels fortunate that he made the switch to Copeman Healthcare when he did. And he can't say enough about his treatment and how smoothly everything went.
"If I hadn't done anything I'm sure that eventually my PSA levels would have indicated something was amiss, but who knows how long it would have taken for that to happen or how much the disease would have progressed in the meantime.
"With Copeman, an issue was identified and then dealt with quickly and efficiently. Everyone was so great through it all, explaining the process, answering my questions – Dr. Siddiqui even called me at home following my surgery to check in and see how I was doing. You just don't see that kind of care very much these days."
But that kind of care, he says, is typical of the way healthcare is done at Copeman. In fact, during a more recent trip to Asia, Brad noticed one of his moles had changed and looked a bit irregular. He emailed a picture of it to Dr. Siddiqui, who got back to him within 24 hours and had an appointment with a specialist set up for the day after Brad returned from his trip. A biopsy has since revealed that nothing sinister was at play.
"It's that kind of attention that really stands out," says Brad. "Everyone at Copeman responds swiftly and goes that extra mile to ensure your well-being is their top priority.

"Team Detroit Steelheaders"
Our June 10, 2017 Special People outing was a good time for everyone. The weather cooperated with a pleasant day on the lake. The catch was better than average because of the skills of the fishermen and the fortunate timing of the fish fly hatch. The pleasant surroundings of Toledo Beach Marina along with the friendly cooperative attitude of all the participants just added up to make this a very good outing.
Our boat captains provided the capacity to take out up to 32 guests but with last minute cancellations we only had 19 guests to take out. Regardless, we got people matched with boats and everyone who attended enjoyed a great morning fishing on the lake followed by a great picnic lunch.
With this writing, I hope to recognize everyone who pitched in and helped to make this a memorable and special day for our guests. It was a total team effort by "Team DAS" and I will try to include everyone who helped-out but if I miss someone that's my bad and your efforts were still appreciated.
Sponsors: Without our sponsor's nothing happens. Remember these vendors and suppliers when you need something. They are the ones who donate back to the community they serve.
Toledo Beach Marina: A great organization and they sponsor this outing every year by allowing us to use their facility, dock our boats, donate ice, and provide a friendly/cooperative atmosphere.
Blake's Orchard: Donation of apple cider and doughnuts for the morning and picnic.
Jeff's Bait and Tackle: They help us out each year with bait for fishing.
Fund Raiser's: Don Jasman, Fred Chartier, and Brad Walton coordinated a Special People fund raiser that generated up to $440 just for Special People.
Donations: Ice, water, soft drinks (Sesi Marathon), and cash (Mt. Clemens Pizza $50 – Auto Farm Inc. $100 – Cedar Wholesale Supply $100) all helped to keep the DAS expenses manageable.
Captains and Boats: The following captains donated their time, talent, and, boat to make this all possible. An additional shout out to the crew men and women who assisted the captains,
Tom Gorguze (Bad Dog)
Bob Jones (Bobby's Toy)
Blaise Pewinski (Sea Hag)
Jim Zanke (Hard Top N Tails)
Chuck Eddy (Money Tree)
Paul Nowak
John Meade (Saluki)
Don Jasman (Just Wastin Time)
Ron Hartman (Molly Friar)
Jose Angeles (AngelCru)
Paul Gjeldum (Blue Horizon)
Dan Chisholm (Channing)
Food: Jim Zanke and his crew (Mike Lolli, George Wagner, and Mary Chisholm). These people did a tremendous job providing a meal of pulled pork, mac and cheese, watermelon, cookies, muffins, cider, and rolls. The meal was great.
Ground Crew: Bill Stanley championed the ground crew and did a great job of supporting the outing in a large variety of ways. Bill and his crew did everything but provide the weather. They helped with set up and clean up, cleaned fish, assisted with launch/retrieve, took pictures, mingled with our guests, filled in as boat crew, and probably several other things I am not aware of. Thank you all for whatever you did.

Special People Coordinator: Linda Bredernitz (arranged for all the guests)
Last and far from least a special thank you to Mary and Doug Karakas for plowing the path long before the outing so that rentals and reservations were made far in advance. Bills were paid and instructions were delivered in writing that even I could understand what needed to be done, where, how, and when. They did a great job from afar while enjoying their vacation of a lifetime.

Too busy to get busy in the bedroom? Here are a few ways to put sex back on your priority list.
You know how it is. Working full time, raising kids, running households and companies.
When do you find the time to have sex with your partner? It's often low on the list of priorities. Sometimes it's just hard to feel like getting your kit off when you've got pasta sauce splattered on your trackies and you're rushing to the vet to get the dog's toenails clipped.
The chaos of the week and an un-crackable to-do list can leave you feeling a little on the unsexy side… and at peace with the cobwebs that have grown inside your unused fanny. It seems like the longer we go without, the more at peace we tend to get.
But intimacy (in any form) is important for the longevity of most relationships. When was the last time you got out your good undies and made come hither eyes?
Here are a few ways to get back on the job.
1. Shag early
Dan Savage, of the fantastic sex podcast 'Savage Love' says that we need to make time with our partners, or a relationship will surely die. If you have kids and/or busy jobs, you still need to make time as a couple. He also adds the excellent advice of having sex before your dinner/movie date. When you're stuffed full of popcorn and wine, you will most likely fall into bed snoring, not shagging. Got a babysitter and can't squeeze it in? Car sex anyone?
2. Schedule it in
Most sexperts agree – when you're busy, you need to schedule shagging in or it will be the first thing to go. It feels a little unspontaneous, but seriously, when you're a parent, nothing is spontaneous. Except vomit. Vomit is spontaneous.
At least if you both know it's on the cards, you can make sure that your nice knickers aren't in the wash. Think sexy thoughts. Put the kids to bed early. Don't eat a whole large pizza and get tummy pains. Don't fall asleep during Game of Thrones. You know, sexy stuff.
3. Music
Did you forget music? In your twenties, you never bumped uglies without your fave tunes. You probably even had a sex playlist. But now, it has to be silent or the five year old might walk in (not sexy), or perhaps for something really saucy, the 7.30 report as your sensual soundtrack (also not sexy). Play music again. It works wonders. Try some 70's disco.
4. Rediscover the shower
Shower sex is fun. And private. And away from the bedroom, which will surely spice it up a bit. Quickies are fun too. Quickies in the shower are really fun. And you can multitask by getting clean too. Winning.
Everyone has their own little ways to feel sexy. A wax job might do it. Your best flannel PJ pants could be another. Candles, wine, sexting, vibrators or just putting the cat outside so it's not watching you with judgey eyes. Whatever floats your boat, do it. Then get busy.

Lenovo unveils ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch Ultrabook
Recently, Lenovo's website disclosed information regarding its latest notebook in the making, Thinkpad X1 Carbon Touch, which is a touchscreen Windows 8 running high end device, revealed to be released in December. The website displayed information, intending to tease the visitors by giving a product shot of the device which has its tentative date of release in December, as stated in the website.
The page was later taken down which has given rise to rumors about an accidental leak. Whether, it was accidental or intentional it has definitely caught people's attention.
The website has not given much details of the product which has been optimized for Windows 8. The only information available was the month of release and the Operating System. If the Thinkpad is to take after the non-touch version, we can expect a lot of the same specifications for the touchscreen ultrabook.
It has also been revealed that X1 Carbon Touch will have a 14 inch 'HD+' display (most probably 1600×900 and is said to support 10-finger multi touch. The touchpad gestures of Windows 8 also have been given full support. The only other information Lenovo imparted was the claim that the Thinkpad is thin and along with a carbon-fiber construction. This is just like the original non-touch Thinkpad X1 Carbon ultrabook.
Lenovo had claimed the non-touch version to be lightest 14 inch laptop in the world in the business class. The touchscreen Thinkpad might also put forward similar claim. Weighing under 3 pounds and 0.74 inches thick, it has Intel Core i7 processor, 128 GB or 256 GB SSD, with price range starting at $ 1,100 (Rs. 60,641).

End chat buttonAnswered
The 'end chat' option is hidden in options and is a problem for some of our users, we'd like to see this more visible so it's easier and more obvious for customers.
6 Comments
Hi there Anneka,
There is actually another post about this topic with other customers discussing this feature that you should watch:
There are no immediate plans to add this functionality but we are investigating more widget customization options and this could potentially be an area we explore.
With that, if you need a close button right now you can potentially use our Javascript API and some custom code to inject a close button near/on the chat window. This is the specific API you would need to use, $zopim.livechat.endChat
This is an issue for our large organization as well. I will comment and watch the ticket posted in your response.
Hi folk,
Just wanted to update you that the beta program has started for the Web SDK. The Web SDK will allow you complete customization of the widget by providing you with APIs to build the widget you want that is powered by Zopim.
With the Web SDK, you could build a widget experience that has a more prominent End/Close Chat button.
If you are on the Premium package, you can learn more about the beta program here: https://zopimsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/228296807-Beta-Zopim-Web-SDK-Full-Widget-Customization-
End-Chat button to be more prominent.
Yes please! If it could have a separate buttons, and possible make the options button smaller, and possibly a gear (to save size) that would be really helpful.
We've had quite a few customer complaints on how the options button is too small. Our agents already have to use a textexpander in addition to what they usually do to close out chat to let the user know where to go to end the chat. This would save our agents and our users time.
In addition to not being able to find the button, sometimes the user end just gets left open for ages, cause they don't see our message and don't end the chat. Sometimes they'll reply with a Thanks! after no one has been in chat with them, and this opens up an entire new case.
Please add a close button to the UI for end users. The current option is never found by end users and causes chat sessions to drag for much longer than they need to, tying up valuable agent resources.
Please don't refer us to the Web SDK. This is a simple fix to your UI/UX. Web users universally understand the difference between minimize and close functionality.
Thank you for reading

503 Main Street, Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, B5A, Canada
1832/01/01 to 1832/12/31
The James Jenkins Jr. House is a simple one-and-a-half storey Vernacular style house with historic ties to the shipping industry in Yarmouth, NS. The building and its residential lot are included in the municipal designation.
The James Jenkins Jr. House is valued for its historic associations with James Jenkins, Jr. and Herbert D. MacLeod and for its simple, intact Vernacular architecture.
James Jenkins, Jr. was a noted shipwright in Yarmouth from around 1830 until a few years before he passed away in 1881. He built this house circa 1832, not far from his shipyard on the Yarmouth waterfront, and lived here with his family for the rest of his life. The property was owned by his descendants until 1922 when it was sold out of the family.
Herbert D. MacLeod lived here from 1922 until 1948, although the property was owned by his father for the first sixteen years of his occupancy. At the time MacLeod moved into this house he was an editor and publisher for the Lawson Publishing Company, but later founded the MacLeod Travel Agency which operated in Yarmouth until recently.
The James Jenkins Jr. House is also valued for its simple Vernacular architecture, which has remained structurally intact throughout its existence. Its simplicity is in contrast to many of Yarmouth's ship captains' and shipbuilders' homes, which are often large and ornate. The house is located on a high embankment overlooking the northern end of Yarmouth Harbour and the former location of Jenkins' shipyard. It is a relatively unadorned one-and-a-half storey house with a symmetrical façade, double hung sash windows and a one storey, off-centre back ell which was added later.

The character-defining elements of the James Jenkins, Jr. House include:
- location on the main street close to waterfront;- modest sized lot;- single family dwelling.
The character-defining elements of the Vernacular style of the James Jenkins Jr. house include:
- one-and-a-half stories and a one storey, off-centre back ell;- medium pitched gable roof with return eaves and an off-centre chimney;- symmetrical five bay façade with a centred entrance;- double hung sash windows with two-over-one glazing pattern;- simple moulded crowns on windows and doors;- decorative shutters on facade and south gable end windows;- wood construction with shingle cladding; - corner pilasters with capitals at front;- corner-boards at back and on ell;- frieze- and verge-board trim.

Monophysite and Antiochian Patriarchs Meet; Joint Prayers Held
August 20, 2014 (Source: theorthodoxchurch.info)
On 18th August Divine Liturgy was celebrated by Patriarch Ignatius Aphrem II in the presence of John X of Antioch. The Liturgy was also attended by large number of Orthodox faithful particularly several children who were abandoned due to the crisis in the area. His Excellency Talal al-Barazi, the Governor of Homs was also present for the auspicious occasion. After the Liturgy a joint prayer for peace was made by the two Orthodox hierarchs.
NFTU: The Antiochian and Syro-Jacobite Monophysite churches have shared a limited intercommunion (contrary to Orthodox theology) since 1991. When Pat. John X of Antioch was elected in 2014, he re-affirmed his commitment to these and other ecumenist initiatives of the Antiochian Patriarchate. Prominent World 'Orthodox' teachers of the past 50 years have gone so far as to state that the actual Ecumenical Councils and anathemas have no bearing and thus affirmed the "Orthodoxy" of the Monophysite Anti-Chalcedonian churches; such has never been the historic position of Orthodoxy. Orthodoxy seeks a true conversion, which is not happening. True Orthodox Christians reject such communion agreements and refuse any communion with both the Monophysite churches and the World Patriarchates because of, among other things, their official union with heretical bodies.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A local group is hoping to raise awareness this week for eating disorders by encouraging women to post selfies sans makeup to promote positive body image.
The Renfrew Center, based in Roxborough, is a residential treatment facility for people with eating disorders and is behind the campaign "Barefaced Challenge."
The challenge encourages women to invite friends, family or colleagues to snap a picture or video without makeup and then explain how it made them feel after making the post. The challenge kicks off National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (Feb. 26-March 4).
Renfrew Assistant Clinical Director Dr. Samantha DeCaro tells Eyewitness News globally more than 70 million people suffer with eating disorders and that the figure could be understated.
"I think there are people who are not getting diagnosed that should be getting diagnosed," DeCaro said. "I think there are things that perpetuate the myth that this is an urban, suburban white girl disorder and we really need to bust that myth because eating disorders don't discriminate and can affect anyone, any age, any race, any socioeconomic status, any gender."
Doylestown resident Shelby Rolla first suffered with anorexia and believes the disorder may have begun as a child when she struggled with being extremely introverted.
"I developed self-soothing behaviors that weren't necessarily healthy, so it started with fixating on things, fixating on numbers and then around 10 years old, it translated to fixating on food because that was a way I could hone my attention in on something and drown out whatever else I was feeling," Rolla said.
Rolla was later clinically diagnosed with bulimia.
"I went from being a really anxious person," Rolla said, "to a very depressed person with a very depressed body.
She added, "I couldn't make it do the things I wanted anymore and that's where bulimia came in."
DeCaro said some of the warning signs to be alert for include someone being extremely regimented about what they eat and also constantly talking about their body or comparing their bodies to others.
Ultimately, it was a college therapist that led Rolla to seek treatment, which she acknowledges was difficult, but worth it.
"It takes a village, it's something that can't be done for you and you can't do it yourself," Rolla said.
To take part in the "Barefaced Challenge," post a make-up free selfie or video and explain how it makes you feel to go make-up less with the hastags #barefacedbeauty or #barefacedchallenge.
