The readings for this Sunday reveal much about the nature of repentance. The first reading is taken from the eighteenth chapter of the Book of Genesis. To examine the larger context: Abraham's nephew Lot moves to the city of Sodom. Sodom and its sister city, Gomorrah, were known for their degeneracy and debauchery, so much so that God intended His wrath to come down upon the cities. Yet, prior to doing so, God warned Abraham that His wrath would fall upon the cities, and Abraham, knowing his nephew lived there, feared the safety of his nephew. He asked God, "Will you kill the good and the bad alike? Suppose you find fifty good men within the city – will you destroy it, and not spare it for their sake?" (Genesis 18:23-24) God then replied, "If I find fifty godly men there, I will spare the entire city for their sake." (Genesis 18:26) Abraham continues with a similar line of questioning for the next several verses, and God responds similarly, each time using a smaller and smaller number of hypothetical people. By the time you get to verse 32, Abraham asks whether God would spare Sodom and Gomorrah if there were as few as 10 godly people living there, and God answers yes.
In the following chapter, we see what happens: because Lot and his family are the only righteous people in the city, God sends two angels to Sodom to save Lot. Yet, because the rest of the city was unrepentant, they suffered God's wrath as He destroyed the city.
What is the meaning of this story? One level of meaning that I see is that Sodom and Gomorrah represent humanity in its fallen state. Yet, the state of fallen man contrasts, in the starkest possible way, with the state to which man is called, for which he was created – namely, the glories of heaven. The notion that God would be willing to save Sodom and Gomorrah no matter how small the number of godly people there were within them represents how the state of glory presupposes repentance for our sins. This repentance includes, necessarily, sorrow for having offended God by our sinfulness, a hatred of our sin, and a desire to strive for holiness. This is the first step – and the most indispensable part – of our salvation. Yet, the holiness that we attain in this life is nothing when compared to the glories of perfect holiness, which is the result of perfect union with God, the Source of All Goodness. Yet, in some sense it doesn't matter: Padre Pio, the great 20th century Catholic mystic, wrote, "One doesn't have to be worthy, they only have to be willing." That is to say, it doesn't matter how sinful we are, how unworthy we are of the things of God; God can make use of the desire for holiness, no matter how small, to transform us into saints.
Thus, the fact that God was willing to show mercy on Sodom and Gomorrah if there were any godly people living there – no matter how small – represents the fact that the desire for holiness, no matter how small, can be used by God to bring about the conversion, perfection and ultimately glorification of the sinner. Yet, the fact that God saved Lot and his family while destroying the rest of Sodom and Gomorrah represents another major point: those in Sodom and Gomorrah who God destroyed were unrepentant. This showcases the difference between the saved and the damned: the saved are those who recognized their sinfulness and turned from it, whereas the damned are those who were callous to their sinfulness, and thus were either oblivious to it, or do not care about it. There is thus a nuanced, though altogether important, distinction between those who are aware of their sinfulness and struggle against it, but don't see immediate results, and those who don't see any growth in holiness because they do not strive towards it. Human moral striving is completely and utterly dependent on the grace of God; nonetheless, Divine grace does not preclude, but in fact includes, human moral striving. Grace is what enables us to willingly strive towards God. Nonetheless, humans, as volitional beings, must accept and cooperate with God's grace.
The story of Sodom and Gomorrah also points towards another important truth: namely, what happens as we strive towards salvation. God saved Lot, yet His wrath came down upon the rest of the city. God saved a righteous man while destroying sinners. What this represents is when a person strives towards holiness, God infuses into the soul the desire and ability to partake in such striving; as a person accepts and cooperates with such gifts, God preserves and enhances it, just as He preserved and protected Lot; further, the more a person strives towards holiness, the more God gives them the strength to resist and overcome sin, thereby destroying sin just as He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
What is relayed symbolically in the first reading, is said explicitly in the second reading, taken from St. Paul's letter to the Colossians. In chapter 2, verses 13 and 14, St. Paul writes, "You were dead, because you were sinners…He [Christ] has brought you to life with Him, He has forgiven us of every one of our sins. He has wiped out the record of our debt to the Law, which stood against us; He has destroyed it by nailing it to the Crosst." Mankind, due to sin, was alienated from God; yet, through Christ, mankind and God were reconciled. Jesus reconciled mankind to God by dying on the Cross, conquering the forces of sin and death and making satisfaction for human transgressions. When we, by grace through faith, are united to Christ's saving act, our sin is cancelled out, we die to our old sinful selves, and are given new life in Christ. This act of being granted new life in Christ is not merely "starting over with a blank slate"; it is God justifying and sanctifying human nature, purifying it of sin; it is God infusing into the soul the capacity to strive towards holiness, overcoming the effects of previous sins, and being granted to knowledge and virtue necessary to avoid future sin. It involves the destruction of sin within us, and the infusion, enhancing and preserving of holiness, just as God's activities in Genesis 19 include the preserving of the righteous citizens and Sodom and Gomorrah and the destruction of the sinners.
This requires grace on God's side. Yet, on our side, it requires perseverance. It requires not only an acceptance of, but a constant loyalty to, a constant seeking of, the things of God. And this is the meaning of the Gospel reading for this week: In the parable from Jesus read this week, as presented in the Gospel according to St. Luke, chapter eleven, a man has a visitor late at night, and he, lacking a sufficient amount of food to feed his guest, knocks on his neighbor's door asking for a loaf of bread to feed his visitor. The neighbor is initially hesitant to do so, as it is late at night, and he is tired. Yet, Jesus concludes, "I tell you, if the man does not get up and give it to him for friendship's sake, persistence will make him get up and give his friend all he wants." (v. 8) The message that Jesus is attempting to get across is that persistence in the spiritual life pays off. It is not that God is obliged to give us what we want. God is the Sovereign Lord of All, which means that God has authority over everything else that exists, but nothing has authority over God. It is also not that God, as an omnipotent being, gets anything from answering our prayers. Rather, the point that Our Lord is trying to make the opposite of persistence is hopelessness. If we do not have the confidence to ask for God's assistance, if we don't have a constant, radical openness to His gifts, and a desire to accept and cooperate with these gifts, then the foundation of the virtue of hope is gone.
It is through such spiritual persistence that we cooperate with God as He takes our desire for holiness and helps it to grow into the glories of heaven, the glories of union with God. It doesn't matter how small our desire for holiness; if we have confidence in God and persistence, it is possible for us to attain salvation. And Christ promises that we will receive an answer to our prayers, the perfection of our striving: "So I say: Ask and it will be given you; search and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." (v. 9) Jesus can make such a promise precisely because it is He who nailed our sins to the Cross; it is He who merited grace for us; it is He who gave us the promise of the Holy Spirit, by Whom we are united to, and become partakers of, Jesus' saving mission.

Dundee Science Centre Celebrates Start of £2M Development
Published on 5 September 2017
Dundee Science Centre is celebrating the culmination of a £2M fundraising campaign, with works officially underway on its major re-development.
Contractors are now on site to embark on the major, seven month transformation which will see construction, within the footprint of the building, doubling the upper floor space.
The development has been designed by Aim Design, Dundee and, following a rigorous tendering process, Dundee Science Centre appointed Elmwood Projects as Main Works Contractor and Huettinger as Exhibitions Contractor. Ryden is carrying out the role of project management for the works.
Kickstarted by an initial contribution of £850,000 from The Wellcome Trust, the redevelopment has also been funded by the Scottish Government to the tune of £248,000, and by Dundee City Council, Scottish Enterprise and Robertson Trust.
The highlight of the development is the 'Medical Marvels' exhibition which will deliver an interactive visitor experience featuring state-of-the-art technologies and medical advancements within areas such as keyhole surgery, anatomy and medical imaging.
Recognising the past, present and future of science, visitors will approach the exhibition through a fascinating heritage walk. They will then discover how we can see inside the body through Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and explore how disease can be diagnosed and treated through minimally- invasive techniques, world-changing innovations all developed in Dundee itself. Adopting the role of surgeons or clinicians, visitors will be able to carry out 'surgery' on interactive torsos. Indeed, the exhibition is underpinned by the work of Dundee's very own Professor Sir Alfred Cuschieri, a global pioneer of keyhole surgery and co-founder of the Institute for Medical Science and Technology (IMSaT).
Complementing the visitor experience, the re-development will also provide a much improved 'home' for the Science Learning Institute, housing an adaptable 80-seat space for seminars and exciting live science shows, learning zones for teacher / scientist collaborative working, break-out spaces and a drop-in zone.
The new facilities will enhance the venue's capabilities and capacity for welcoming an increased number of public and school visits and provide a unique setting for community engagement and corporate events. Complemented by a range of new learning programmes, the institute will provide improved learning and development opportunities for the many professionals who engage with learners throughout the community. The development will also accommodate new facilities for the growing Dundee Science Centre team, who work positively with many partners, developing and delivering activities for visitors to the Centre and through an active community engagement programme.
Dundee Science Centre will remain open to visitors throughout the works, with the new space and exhibition due to open to the public in Spring 2018.
Linda Leuchars, Chief Executive Officer commented, "This is an extremely exciting time in Dundee Science Centre's evolution and we are thrilled to have reached this milestone. It is particularly fitting that we will be celebrating local science which is making a global impact, while bringing a diverse cross-spectrum of people together to enjoy science. As a registered independent charity, we are of course delighted to have achieved our ambitious fundraising targets and would like to thank each and every one of our funders and supporters.
"Our exciting new facilities will allow us to welcome an increased number of both public and school visits. We will of course continue to welcome visitors and deliver an active programme of exhibitions, shows and special events throughout the construction period and look forward to seeing the transformation take shape."
John Alexander, Leader, Dundee City Council added, "I have been very impressed by the work of the Science Centre in reinvigorating itself, centered around the ambitious expansion plans. The centre is already a huge asset to the city but this state-of-the-art, cutting-edge expansion will secure its future and its place as a city destination for many years to come."
The project has also received financial support from Al-Maktoum College, Alexander Moncur Trust, DSC Endowment Trust, Foyle Foundation, The Leng Charitable Trust, Martin Connell Charitable Trust, Matthew Trust, Northwood Trust, Sonopill, Thriplow Charitable Trust, Walter Craig Charitable Trust, William S Philips Fund and Mary Ballantyne.

The Burning of Washington was a British invasion of Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, during the War of 1812. On August 24, 1814, after defeating the Americans at the Battle of Bladensburg, a British force led by Major General Robert Ross occupied Washington and set fire to many public buildings, including the White House (known as the Presidential Mansion), and the Capitol, as well as other facilities of the U.S. government.[2] The attack was in part a retaliation for the recent American destruction of Port Dover in Upper Canada. Throughout the history of the United States, the United Kingdom is the only country to have ever captured Washington, D.C.; the Burning of Washington also marks the only time since the American Revolutionary War that a foreign power has captured and occupied the United States capital.
President James Madison, military officials, and his government fled the city in the wake of the British victory at the Battle of Bladensburg. They eventually found refuge for the night in Brookeville, a small town in Montgomery County, Maryland, which is known today as the "United States Capital for a Day". President Madison spent the night in the house of Caleb Bentley, a Quaker who lived and worked in Brookeville. Bentley's house, known today as the Madison House, still stands in Brookeville.
Less than a day after the attack began, a sudden, very heavy thunderstorm—possibly a hurricane—put out the fires. It also spun off a tornado that passed through the center of the capital, setting down on Constitution Avenue and lifting two cannons before dropping them several yards away, killing British troops and American civilians alike. Following the storm, the British returned to their ships, many of which were badly damaged. The occupation of Washington lasted only about 26 hours. After the "Storm that saved Washington", as it soon came to be called, the Americans returned to the city.[3]
The British government, already at war with Napoleonic France, adopted a defensive strategy against the United States when the Americans declared war in 1812. Reinforcements were held back from Canada and reliance was instead made on local militias and native allies to bolster the British Army in Canada. However, after the defeat and exile of Napoleon Bonaparte in April 1814, Britain was able to use its now available troops and ships to prosecute its war with the United States. In addition to reinforcements sent to Canada, the Earl of Bathurst, Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, dispatched an army brigade and additional naval vessels to Bermuda, from where a blockade of the US coast and even the occupation of some coastal islands had been overseen throughout the war. It was decided to use these forces in raids along the Atlantic seaboard to draw American forces away from Canada.[4] The commanders were under strict orders, however, not to carry out operations far inland, or to attempt to hold territory. Early in 1814, Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane had been appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy's North America and West Indies Station, controlling naval forces based at the new Bermuda dockyard and the Halifax Naval Yard which were used to blockade US Atlantic ports throughout the war. He planned to carry the war into the United States by attacks in Virginia and against New Orleans.[5]
Rear Admiral George Cockburn had commanded the squadron in Chesapeake Bay since the previous year. On June 25 he wrote to Cochrane stressing that the defenses there were weak, and he felt that several major cities were vulnerable to attack.[6] Cochrane suggested attacking Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia. On July 17, Cockburn recommended Washington as the target, because of the comparative ease of attacking the national capital and "the greater political effect likely to result".[7] General Ross commanded a 4,500-man army, composed of the 4th (King's Own) Light, 21st Royal North British Fusiliers, 44th (East Essex) Regiment of Foot, and 85th Regiment of Foot.
An added motive was retaliation for what Britain saw as the "wanton destruction of private property along the north shores of Lake Erie" by American forces under Col. John Campbell in May 1814, the most notable being the Raid on Port Dover.[8] On June 2, 1814, Sir George Prévost, Governor General of The Canadas, wrote to Cochrane at Admiralty House, in Bailey's Bay, Bermuda, calling for a retaliation against the American destruction of private property in violation of the laws of war. Prévost argued that,
… in consequence of the late disgraceful conduct of the American troops in the wanton destruction of private property on the north shores of Lake Erie, in order that if the war with the United States continues you may, should you judge it advisable, assist in inflicting that measure of retaliation which shall deter the enemy from a repetition of similar outrages.[8]
On July 18, Cochrane ordered Cockburn to "deter the enemy from a repetition of similar outrages.... You are hereby required and directed to destroy and lay waste such towns and districts as you may find assailable".[9] Cochrane instructed, "You will spare merely the lives of the unarmed inhabitants of the United States". Ross and Cockburn surveyed the torching of the President's Mansion, during which time a great storm arose unexpectedly out of the southeast. They were confronted a number of times while on horseback by older women from around Washington City and elderly clergymen (Southern Presbyterian and Southern Baptist), with women and children who had been hiding in homes and churches. They requested protection from abuse and robbery by enlisted personnel from the British Expeditionary Forces whom they accused of having tried to ransack private homes and other buildings. Major-General Ross had two British soldiers put in chains for violation of his general order. Throughout the events of that day, a severe storm blew into the city, worsening on the night of August 24, 1814.
President James Madison, members of his government, and the military fled the city in the wake of the British victory at the Battle of Bladensburg. They eventually found refuge for the night in Brookeville, a small town in Montgomery County, Maryland, which is known today as the United States Capital for a Day. President Madison spent the night in the house of Caleb Bentley, a Quaker who lived and worked in Brookeville. Bentley's house, known today as the Madison House, still stands in Brookeville.[10]
The sappers and miners of the Corps of Royal Engineers under Captain Blanshard were employed in burning the principal buildings. Blanshard reported that it seemed that the American President was so sure that the attacking force would be made prisoners that a handsome entertainment had been prepared. Blanshard and his sappers enjoyed the feast.[11]:358
The Capitol was, according to some contemporary travelers, the only building in Washington "worthy to be noticed."[12] Thus, it was a prime target for the invaders, both for its aesthetic and symbolic value. After looting the building, the British found it difficult to set the structure on fire, owing to its sturdy stone construction. Soldiers eventually gathered furniture into a heap and ignited it with rocket powder, which successfully set the building ablaze. Among the casualties of the destruction of the Capitol was the Library of Congress, the entire 3,000 volume collection of which was destroyed.[13] Several surrounding buildings in Capitol Heights also caught fire. After the war, Thomas Jefferson sold his own personal library to the government in order to pay personal debts, re-establishing the Library of Congress.
After burning the Capitol, the British turned northwest up Pennsylvania Avenue toward the White House. After US government officials and President Madison fled the city, the First Lady Dolley Madison received a letter from her husband, urging her to be prepared to leave Washington at a moment's notice.[14] Dolley organized the slaves and staff to save valuables from the British.[15] James Madison's personal slave, the fifteen-year-old boy Paul Jennings, was an eyewitness.[16] After later buying his freedom from the widow Dolley Madison, Jennings published his memoir in 1865, considered the first from the White House:
It has often been stated in print, that when Mrs. Madison escaped from the White House, she cut out from the frame the large portrait of Washington (now in one of the parlors there), and carried it off. She had no time for doing it. It would have required a ladder to get it down. All she carried off was the silver in her reticule, as the British were thought to be but a few squares off, and were expected any moment.[17]
Jennings said the people who saved the painting and removed the objects actually were:
John Susé (Jean Pierre Sioussat) (a Frenchman, then door-keeper, and still living) and Magraw [McGraw], the President's gardener, took it down and sent it off on a wagon, with some large silver urns and such other valuables as could be hastily got hold of. When the British did arrive, they ate up the very dinner, and drank the wines, &c., that I had prepared for the President's party.[17][18][19]
The soldiers burned the president's house, and fuel was added to the fires that night to ensure they would continue burning into the next day.
In 2009, President Barack Obama held a ceremony at the White House to honor Jennings as a representative of his contributions to saving the Gilbert Stuart painting and other valuables. (The painting that was saved was a copy Stuart made of the painting, not the original,[20] although it is the same one on display in the East Room.) "A dozen descendants of Jennings came to Washington, to visit the White House. They looked at the painting their relative helped save."[21] In an interview with National Public Radio, Jennings' great-great-grandson Hugh Alexander said, "We were able to take a family portrait in front of the painting, which was for me one of the high points."[16] He confirmed that Jennings later purchased his freedom from the widowed Dolley Madison.[16]
The day after the destruction of the White House, Rear Admiral Cockburn entered the building of the D.C. newspaper, the National Intelligencer, intending to burn it down. However, several women persuaded him not to because they were afraid the fire would spread to their neighboring houses. Cockburn wanted to destroy the newspaper because its reporters had written so negatively about him, branding him "The Ruffian." Instead, he ordered his troops to tear the building down brick by brick, and ordered all the "C" type destroyed "so that the rascals can have no further means of abusing my name."[22]
The British sought out the United States Treasury in hopes of finding money or items of worth, but they found only old records.[23] They burned the United States Treasury and other public buildings. The United States Department of War building was also burned. However, the War and State Department files had been removed, so all books and records had been saved; the only records of the War Department lost were recommendations of appointments for the Army and letters received from seven years earlier.[24] The First U.S. Patent Office Building was saved by the efforts of William Thornton, the former Architect of the Capitol and then the Superintendent of Patents, who gained British cooperation to preserve it.[25][A] "When the smoke cleared from the dreadful attack, the Patent Office was the only Government building . . . left untouched" in Washington.[26]
The Americans had already burned much of the historic Washington Navy Yard, founded by Thomas Jefferson, to prevent capture of stores and ammunition,[27] as well as the 44-gun frigate USS Columbia and the 22 gun USS Argus both new vessels nearing completion.[28] The Navy Yard's Latrobe Gate, Quarters A, and Quarters B were the only buildings to escape destruction.[29][30] Also spared were the Marine Barracks and Commandant's House, although several private properties were damaged or destroyed.[31]
In the afternoon of August 25, General Ross sent two hundred men to secure a fort on Greenleaf's Point. The fort, later known as Fort McNair, had already been destroyed by the Americans, but 150 barrels of gunpowder remained. While the British were trying to destroy it by dropping the barrels into a well, the powder ignited. As many as thirty men were killed in the explosion, and many others were maimed.[32]
Less than a day after the attack began, a sudden very heavy thunderstorm—possibly a hurricane—put out the fires. It also spun off a tornado that passed through the center of the capital, setting down on Constitution Avenue[3] and lifting two cannons before dropping them several yards away and killing British troops and American civilians alike.[33] Following the storm, the British troops returned to their ships, many of which were badly damaged. There is some debate regarding the effect of this storm on the occupation. While some assert that the storm forced their retreat,[3] it seems likely from their destructive and arsonous actions before the storm, and their written orders from Cochrane to "destroy and lay waste",[34] that their intention was merely to raze the city, rather than occupy it for an extended period. Whatever the case, the British occupation of Washington lasted only about 26 hours. Despite this, the "Storm that saved Washington" as it became known, did the opposite according to some. The rains sizzled and cracked the already charred walls of the White House and ripped away at structures the British had no plans to destroy (such as the Patent Office). The storm may have exacerbated an already dire situation for Washington DC.
An encounter was noted between Sir George Cockburn 10th Baronet and a female resident of Washington. "Dear God! Is this the weather to which you are accustomed to in this infernal country?" enquired the Admiral. "This is a special interposition of Providence to drive our enemies from our city," the woman allegedly called out to Cockburn. "Not so, Madam," Cockburn retorted. "It is rather to aid your enemies in the destruction of your city", before riding off on horseback.[35] Yet, the British left right after the storm completely unopposed by any American military forces.
The Royal Navy reported that it lost one man killed and six wounded in the attack, of whom the fatality and three of the wounded were from the Corps of Colonial Marines.[36]
The destruction of the Capitol, including the Senate House and the House of Representatives, the Arsenal, Dockyard, Treasury, War Office, President's mansion, bridge over the Potomac, a frigate and a sloop together with all Materiel was estimated at £365,000.[11]:359
A separate British force captured Alexandria, on the south side of the Potomac River, while Ross' troops were leaving Washington. The mayor of Alexandria made a deal and the British refrained from burning the town.[37]
President Madison returned to Washington by September 1, on which date he issued a proclamation calling on citizens to defend the District of Columbia.[38] Congress returned and assembled in special session on September 19. Due to the destruction of the Capitol and other public buildings, they initially met in the Post and Patent Office building.[39]
In 2013, an episode of the Weather Channel documentary series "Weather That Changed History," entitled "The Thunderstorm That Saved D.C.," was devoted to these events.
Most contemporary American observers, including newspapers representing anti-war Federalists, condemned the destruction of the public buildings as needless vandalism.[40] Many of the British public were shocked by the burning of the Capitol and other buildings at Washington; such actions were denounced by most leaders of continental Europe, where capital cities had been repeatedly occupied in the course of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars and always spared destruction (at least on the part of the occupiers - the famous burning of Moscow that occurred less than two years prior had been an act carried out by the defenders). According to The Annual Register, the burning had "brought a heavy censure on the British character," with some members of Parliament, including the anti-establishment MP Samuel Whitbread,[40] joining in the criticism.
The majority of British opinion believed that the burnings were justified following the damage that United States forces had done with its incursions into Canada. In addition, they noted that the United States had been the aggressor, declaring war and initiating it.[41] Several commentators regarded the damages as just revenge for the American destruction of the Parliament buildings and other public buildings in York, the provincial capital of Upper Canada, early in 1813. Sir George Prévost wrote that "as a just retribution, the proud capital at Washington has experienced a similar fate."[42] The Reverend John Strachan, who as Rector of York had witnessed the American acts there, wrote to Thomas Jefferson that the damage to Washington "was a small retaliation after redress had been refused for burnings and depredations, not only of public but private property, committed by them in Canada."[43]
When they ultimately returned to Bermuda, the British forces took two pairs of portraits of King George III and his wife, Queen Charlotte, which had been discovered in one of the public buildings. One pair currently hangs in the House of Assembly of the Parliament of Bermuda, and the other in the Cabinet Building, both in the city of Hamilton.[44]
The thick sandstone walls of the White House and Capitol survived, although scarred with smoke and scorch marks. There was a strong movement in Congress to relocate the nation's capital with many northern Congressmen pushing for a city north of the Mason–Dixon line. Philadelphia was quick to volunteer as a temporary home as did Georgetown, where Mayor Thomas Corcoran offered Georgetown College as a temporary home for Congress. Ultimately, a bill to relocate the capital was defeated in Congress and Washington remained the seat of government.
Fearful that there might be pressure to relocate the capital altogether, Washington businessmen financed the construction of the Old Brick Capitol, where Congress met while the Capitol was reconstructed from 1815 to 1819. Madison resided in The Octagon House for the remainder of his term. Reconstruction of the White House began in early 1815 and was finished in time for President James Monroe's inauguration in 1817.[45]
As American settlement expanded westward, serious proposals to relocate the capital to a location in the interior that would not be vulnerable to seaborne attack continued to be made from time to time. It was only following the emergence of the United States Navy as a force capable of rivalling the most powerful European navies that relocation of the capital would no longer be proposed at the Congressional level.

Garance Dore Comments on Plus-Size Models
Do You Agree With Garance Doré: Plus-Size Models = Not Such a Good Thing?
Street style photographer Garance Doré has a thing or two to say about plus-size models. "It's not such a good thing to show plus-size because it's not really physically healthy and not always flattering to fashion," she said. V Magazine begs to differ. But before you get offended, she has more to say: "It should not be such a big deal to show women with different bodies, but sometimes it's treated like a bit of joke, or for shock." Exhibit A: the plus-size models on the Mark Fast Fall runway. She thinks it's naive of the fashion industry because, although it would be nice to say that the idea of different body shapes is normal, she believes it's not yet. Does Garance have a point or is she just being insensitive?

The world of film noir is full of passive patsies and benighted saps, and one of the most passive and benighted is Vincent Grayson, played by skinny young DeForest Kelley in his debut film. The low-budget wonder Fear in the Night is one of the most oneiric and dreamlike of noirs.
The first reel is surreal in several ways. It opens with wavering montages of superimposed images to indicate the hero's dream state. These images showcase a room with multiple mirrors and doors. This must naturally remind noir fans of Orson Welles' The Lady from Shanghai, which came out the following year. Of course, the Welles version is even more flashy and disorienting, although it wasn't a dream sequence. But then, maybe this one isn't either. One of this uncanny movie's mysteries is whether or how much of what we see is a dream. Crime films discovered the power of surreal dreams following Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) and this trend was hitting stride in "psychiatric" items like Spellbound (1945) and Shock (1946). Fear in the Night is a high point.
After disorienting, fragmentary images of a struggle that leaves a man dead, Grayson awakens in his hotel room and gradually discovers evidence that his nightmare really happened. When he consults his policeman brother-in-law (Paul Kelly), the latter brusquely berates him instead of helping him. He comes across as a judgmental bully, and this probably matches his line of work. The fun continues during a picnic when Grayson somehow leads the party (including Ann Doran as his sister and Kay Scott as his girlfriend) to the house of his dreams, and then the facts begin to look very grim indeed.
This movie is based on a tale by Cornell Woolrich, who retold variations of dream-murder and amnesiac guilt in many stories. His protagonists are among the most haunted in crime fiction, forever struggling to free themselves of some dark night of the soul and stumbling about in search of uncertain allies. Maxwell Shane, who directed this uneasy, claustrophobic little tale, remade it as the better-budgeted Nightmare (1956), another excellent version with Edward G. Robinson and Kevin McCarthy. Shane later produced the TV series M Squad.
I have distant memories of catching the funky, surreal Fear in the Night—one of those movies that makes you wonder if you dreamed it--on a late '80s syndicated package of public-domain films called Movie Greats Network. I was convinced they'd scoured the country for the worst possible prints, and then beat them against a rock. A company called Film Chest, which has done an excellent job of digital clean-ups on certain films such as The Red House, has been largely defeated on this "digitally restored" item, which remains blurry, dark, and jumpy while the soundtrack is thick, tinny, and plagued by a continual noise like metallic insects. Perhaps it will never look or sound better, always like a nagging, half-forgotten celluloid memory.

KELOWNA - City crews have taken the first step in reversing decades of misguided management of Mission Creek in Kelowna.
The first phase of the Mission Creek Restoration Initiative began this week with the closing of the creek's south dike between Casorso Road and Gordon Drive, according to a city media release.
With creek waters running low, the south dike will be "scalped" to within 40 centimetres of current creek levels. The material will be used to build the new 570-metre long dike, widening the channel width from 40 to 150 m.
The new dike is designed to withstand a 1-in-200 year flood and will be built to provincial government standards. It will require approximately 9,000 square metres of sand, clay and gravel, material which will be recycled from the old dike.
Trees and vegetation removed during the dike foundation preparation will be used to revegetate the newly expanded floodplain once the dike is complete.
Four "meander notches" will be constructed along the length of the new channel. These pools, shaded by strategically placed trees, will improve reproduction and spawning for rainbow trout, kokanee and mountain whitefish.
Extensive channelization during the last century, primarily for flood control, saw the lower portion of Mission Creek shortened from 30 kilometres to 12 km, speeding up creek flow and destroying fish habitat.
Dike construction will be complete by the spring with environmental restoration scheduled for the summer of 2016.

Lenovo outs 8th Generation ThinkPad notebooks and ThinkStation desktop PCs
Lenovo outs 8th Generation ThinkPad notebooks and ThinkStation desktop PCs
In a Lenovo-commissioned IDC InfoBrief titled Enabling the Future Workspace – Agile, Intelligent and Engaging, it is predicted that the changing workforce demographics and rapid adoption of new technologies will lead to fundamental changes in the workspace and how we work. By 2020, more than 50% of the workforce will be composed of millennials, driving digital transformation in workspaces across Asia Pacific.
Aiming to provide enhanced agility and performance to future-proof Filipino companies and support the ever-evolving workspace driven by today's digital nomads and millennial workers, Lenovo recently unveiled its roster of 8th Generation ThinkPad notebooks and ThinkStation desktop systems.
"A new, faster style of work by a younger generation of workers has given birth to the hybrid workspaces of today where achieving maximum efficiency and productivity is the goal," said Lenovo Philippines General Manager Michael Ngan. Gone are the days of the conventional office setup where employees sit at the same desk on the same floor of the same building."
"With most of today's workforce being on-the-go, it is now time for traditional workspaces to evolve in order to achieve maximum efficiency and productivity. Together with Intel, our newest ThinkPads meet mobility demands while at the same time providing enterprise-grade reliability and security, thereby making offices who utilize them more than ready to face any challenges that future business environments hold," Ngan added.
The new ThinkPad lineup consists of five models, namely the L380, X280, E480, T480, and the T480S. Some of the new features introduced to the new laptops include security features such as a match-on-sensor touch fingerprint reader, IR camera for facial recognition access, and a webcam cover for privacy.
Powered by Intel's 8th Generation Core processors, the models take advantage of its Intel Core vPro feature which serves as another layer of protection by means of hard drive encryption. Energy-efficient, Intel's U-series CPUs are the brand's fastest at 15W, offering up to 40% greater productivity than 7th Generation Core processors and 2x more productivity than comparable 5-year-old processors. The performance delivered by Intel's 8th Generation Core CPUs is achieved with features such as Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 and Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, allowing content creators finish multiple tasks.
The new ThinkPad models also make use of USB-C power adapters for universal charging, and have a new docking design with slide-to-connect mechanism. Lenovo has made the new notebooks lighter and thinner than their predecessors. For instance, the 12.5-inch X280 is 15% thinner (0.69 inches) and 20% lighter (2.6 pounds) than the preceding X270. In spite of their light and slim build, the 8th Generation ThinkPad line continues the brand's legacy of durability. Each device went through a rigorous series of ten tests, including for humidity, low temperature, high vibration, and high altitude, in accordance to the Mil-SPEC 810G military standard.
Further equipping the workspace, Lenovo also launched two new additions to the ThinkStation arsenal, namely the P520 and the P520C. Both workstation systems carry Intel's latest Xeon processors and NVIDIA's Quadro graphics cards, making them efficient in 3D animation software and computer-aided drafting projects. Lenovo's Tri-Channel Cooling Technology is used in these workstations for enhanced thermal and power management.
Lenovo's latest ThinkPad and ThinkStation models are now available at the following price points:
- ThinkPad E480 – PhP 45,990
- ThinkPad L380 – PhP 64,990
- ThinkPad X280 – PhP 85,990
- ThinkPad T480 – PhP 86,990
- ThinkPad T480S – PhP 96,990
- ThinkPad X1 Carbon – PhP 99,990
- ThinkPad X1 Yoga – PhP 110,990
- ThinkStation P520C – PhP 115,990
- ThinkStation P520 – PhP 137,990

Imagine this situation: You're looking to rent space in a new shopping mall development. You know the location is perfect, but you aren't sure that you'll be able to make things work out with regard to your lease.
This is where it pays to know a thing or two about how to negotiate the best possible lease agreement.
Before we go any further, here's one thing you need to remember: You should always negotiate terms and conditions before the signing day. You need to give yourself plenty of time to work through the details, ensuring that both parties are in the best possible position to work things out.
Along with the above, here are a few additional negotiation tips to consider:
- Don't jump right into the conversation about rent. While you may hope to negotiate a lower rent payment at a future date, you don't want to get into this before discussing other details, such as the qualification process.
- Be reasonable. Remember, you want to sign a lease that both parties are happy with. If you become greedy, it could lead to a standstill. However, if both parties give and take, there's a better chance of everything working out in the end.
- Rent isn't the only item to negotiate. While many people focus on this, there are other things that are negotiable in a commercial lease. This can include but is not limited to the security deposit, term, and cleaning requirements.
Rent negotiation is a two-sided conversation. While you want to do what is best for you, it's important to consider where the other party stands. If you put yourself in their shoes, it's easier to understand what you should be doing, what you should avoid, and how to move closer to making something work.
There are many details associated with real estate law, which can make it a challenge to negotiate and sign a lease that works in your favor. For this reason, you may want to consider the benefits of working with an experienced attorney as you attempt to negotiate a lease agreement. This will give you peace of mind, knowing that you're not making any mistakes that could come back to haunt you in the future.

D.C. United finally got their first goal of the season — and their first win too.
After failing to score through their first three games of the year, D.C. netted two goals in the first 27 minutes Saturday night en route to 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Union at RFK Stadium.
José Guillermo Ortiz got the home team on the board in the 18th minute with his first MLS goal following a Union giveaway. Luciano Acosta scored on a penalty kick less than 10 minutes later after Philly defender Richie Marquez was whistled for a handball just inside the box.
C.J. Sapong drew one back for the Union in the 71st minute, but Bill Hamid made enough big saves — including a late one on Sapong — to thwart Philly's charge and keep them winless on the season at 0-2-2.
Three Things
- NO MULLINS, NO PROBLEM: Some may have thought D.C. United's goal-scoring slump would continue with Patrick Mullins, the club's second-leading scorer last season, out with a hamstring injury. But D.C. newcomer Ortiz stepped up in a big way, making his first MLS start before scoring his first MLS goal. With Mullins likely out for the next few games, the play of the Costa Rican forward, who also skimmed the crossbar with an ambitious first-half attempt, was certainly a promising development for head coach Ben Olsen.
- THE BILL HAMID SHOW: Few, if any, MLS goalkeepers make better saves than the two facing off in Saturday's game — the Union's Andre Blake and United's Hamid. But it was Hamid who stole the show in this one, making seven saves to Blake's one and coming through with diving or leaping stops on Haris Medunjanin, Keegan Rosenberry and Sapong.
Hamid with a HUGE save on Sapong to preserve the lead. #DCvPHI https://t.co/bhj1rQb2Wd— Major League Soccer (@MLS) April 2, 2017
- ROUGH DAY AT THE OFFICE: Sapong coming off the bench to score his third goal in as many games was certainly a bright spot for Philly, as was the late pressure they put on D.C. United. But the first half was a rough one for the Union, who now haven't won in their last 11 games, dating back to last season. It was a particularly difficult for night for the minutes-eating Marquez, who made a rare exit at halftime due to a head injury after getting called for a tough first-half penalty. That led to rookie Jack Elliott, a fourth-round 2017 draft pick, making his MLS debut in a big spot.

Sims 3 suffers four-month delay
EA's just confirmed that The Sims 3 has slipped from its planned February 20 release to June 2.
"The June launch combined with the break-through game the team is building gives us the perfect runway to create awareness for The Sims 3," said EA marketing boss Russell Arons.
The news arrived today as EA announced both a slip for the PC version of BioWare's Dragon Age and a nose-bleed Q3 loss of $641 million. Staff cuts are to total 1,100 as a result.

"Like he would like to eat up Mamma with his eyes," a laugh escaped Anjali, which she hurriedly converted to a cough, as Chotti wasn't quite finished yet, "And then when he thinks nobody is looking he kisses Mamma," Khushi blushed a beetroot red while a rare special half smile broke across Arnav's face, he rolled his eyes and crossed his arms albeit a bit self-consciously, but as usual Chotti wasn't done, "On the lips," the whistle blower revealed, "Just like in the movies! So," Chotti wrapped up her argument for the defense, "If you want to kiss Di, you will have to marry her," she rested her case and crossed her arms.
Sherry didn't quite know where to look, but he couldn't resist shooting a wicked glance towards Arnav and Khushi – she was busy fiddling with her mobile while Arnav coolly looked back at him – be careful, those who stay in glass houses should not throw stones at the others – Sherry retreated; he cleared his throat, "And will I be able to call you Chotti then?"
Chotti solemnly nodded her head, Sherry sighed lugubriously and raised his shoulders helplessly, "Well in that case I don't seem to have a choice do I? I will have to marry your Di for I would like to call you Chotti and have you call me Jiju," he looked over at Anya and said softly, "But then would your Di marry me?"
All eyes swung towards Anya whose face was glowing, she looked ethereal and she had eyes only for Sherry, "Di?" asked Chotti impatiently, who had an agenda of her own – shaadi hogi and that meant clothes, lots of clothes, dancing, masti, she couldn't wait, "Di!" she insisted – clearly she was now fighting Sherry's case.
Anya swallowed and said softly, "Sochna padega," she blinked at Sherry who looked back at her mesmerized giving the others a chance to see what Chotti had already seen – Sherry's besotted look before he recollected himself and looked away rather self-consciously.
Feeling more confident and 'boosted' Anya perked up especially as Chotti came up and said confidingly, "Zyaada mat socho Di, Jiju is very nice," she dimpled her vote of confidence, "Nani and Boo also like him."
Khushi came up and shooed away Chotti, "Haan haan ammaji, ab chhod bhi do un dono ko! Bechare have not had a moment of privacy or peace," she rued, she looked towards Nani who nodded her head approvingly; Khushi looked towards Khsitij and Anjali for their approval, they too nodded agreeably, "Anya," Khushi broke into their SV, "Why don't you show Sharath your room?" Clearly Anya was expecting undying declarations of love and a romantic proposal aur yahaan Chotti was determined to steal his thunder, now before their moment was spoilt forever, Khushi thought it prudent to give them some time alone.
Anya blushed coyly and stood up only to be accosted by Ankit. The boys had been introduced to Sunita and had been least interested in the proceedings busy in their own world unmarred by affairs of the heart that is until Chotti descended upon them and explained the situation – in detail, "Just a minute," he said rather aggressively, possessively, "That's my Di you know," he introduced himself to Sherry.
Sharath grinned amiably and sank back on to the couch pulling Anya with him, "Yes and hello to you to Ankit," he held out his hand and said formally, "I am Sharath."
Ankit shook his hand suspiciously, "Are you going to marry Di?"
Anya rolled her eyes, secretly thrilled at her kid bro's attitude while Sharath shrugged, "If you don't have any objections?"
Ankit looked at him consideringly, "Are you into sports?"
Sherry nodded his solemnly, "Which is your favorite game?" Ankit wanted details.
"Football," Sherry replied promptly, but the Spanish Inquisition wasn't over yet, he was drilled and grilled about the nitty-gritties of the game before Ankit was convinced about his genuine love – for football; he graciously welcomed 'Jiju' into the family and gave his permission to offer for his Di's hand but not before he warned his new friend – a true blue fellow fan with whom he already felt a kinship, "Are you sure you want to marry Di? Girls expect you to wish them on their birthdays, give them gifts and all," he said disgustedly, " They are also big cry babies but then of course Di isn't like that," he conceded the point.
"Then who is?" Anjali was more interested in that.
"Oh the girls in my class," he said vaguely, Anjali smacked her head, "Hey Bhagwan! Ek ka natak khatam bhi nahi hua aur doosra bhi taiyyar khada hai," she moaned.
Sherry grinned, he was enjoying himself; he nodded encouragingly towards Devansh who had also participated actively in the inquisition, "Do I have your permission as well?"
Devansh had a slight doubt, "What do you think about dinosaurs? Do you think they really existed or is it just a ho…hogwash?" he held his breath, hoping against hope – he did like 'Jiju' but if he failed this acid test he would have no choice but to withdraw his support.
"Hogwash?!" Sherry was incredulous, "Are you kidding me? Dinosaurs and hogwash? What nonsense! Of course dinosaurs existed and straight after college I went on a paleontologists' expedition to Argentina and there we discovered dinosaur bones – can you imagine? Real dinosaur bones!"
Devansh almost fainted with sheer excitement, "Really!" he said eagerly.
"Yes of course, I will forward you the pictures, give me your mail ID," while these pleasantries were being undertaken, Chotti got restless. Arre usse toh bahut badi galati ho gayi, the boys took their time in giving their approval aur usse dekho! Bina kuch poochche hi maan gayi, aise thodi na hota hai, "I also want to ask questions," she put her claim for the final say.
"Yes of course, Ms Raizada," Sherry turned to her attentively.
Chotti preened, seeing nothing more than her due share of respect given her status, she crossed her arms and began grilling him, "What is the capital of India?
Sherry shot a look towards Anya – ahh he knew it was a trick question, he hemmed and hawed and then said rather hesitantly, "Waise to I is written in capital letters, but otherwise New Delhi is the capital of India."
Chotti nodded approvingly, "Very good," she tapped her cheek thoughtfully – all her doubts were at rest, bas ek antim pariksha baaki thi.
She leaned forward and looked into his eyes and said in a hushed voice, "Can you do 'carry over' sums?"
Sherry was in great danger of toppling over from his exalted position as the Jiju –waves of laughter bubbled up his throat – he was not helped by the outbreak of coughs and hurriedly stifled murmurs around him – but he managed to maintain control over his facial muscles, although his eyes were a dead giveaway. He closed his eyes and put on a pained expression; he leaned forward and said in an equally confidential tone, "I can," in a doubtful sort of a way and then confessed, "Though I do mess up then there is a zero somewhere in the middle."
Chotti looked at him wide-eyed, a gush to sympathy flooded her, zeros in such sums were the bane of her existence! Zero hai – usse 'one' kaise le sakte hai – nobody appreciated her dilemma and here out of the blue was a kindred soul – her soulmate perhaps?
She nodded commiseratingly, "Exactly!" she exchanged a hi-five with him and looked reproachfully at her mother – gharwale nahi samajhte aur dekho…hmmphhh, "Di," she called to Anya, "Abhi bhi soch rahi ho?"
Anya nodded loftily; Chotti looked at Sherry and asked him, "Agar Di shaadi karne se mana kar deti hai, toh can you wait for me to grow up?" she looked hopefully at him.

It took me a while to get around to reading Caitlin Moran's How to be a Woman. The reviews were a positive but seemed to focus on hilarious anecdotes about leg shaving. It promised to be a take on modern life which explained why all women should be feminists, but sounded a little bit 211 Things a Bright Girl Can Do or Nigella Lawson's not quite ironically titled How to be a Domestic Goddess. I needn't have worried. Having picked it up in Waterstone's buy one get one half price summer offer (they need all the help they can get after getting into bed with the company James Daunt denies ever having called the devil…) and practically inhaled it yesterday.
Caitlin Moran has pretty much explained in book form why I've stopped buying Women's Magazines. A few months ago I still bought Easy Living but gave up when I saw the "let's make it another Cosmopolitan" direction the new editor took it in with its makeover. Pressure to whip off body hair that PRACTICALLY NO ONE is going to see most of the year around, typical media discourses about your choice of when to have children or get married which one way or another read like an apologia, the prefacing of any interview with a successful woman with a description of her hair, make-up and outfit at the time of the interview… she covers it all in a way which is sometimes hilarious, sometimes serious but always warm and frank. I couldn't, wouldn't put it down until I finished, and as soon as I did I stuck it in the post for my sister.
Moran shows why feminism isn't just an esoteric interest of a few select academics, but a matter of equality. I especially liked a passage in the book when she describes being at a meeting and talking to another feminist about pornography and how shocking it would be for an eight year old girl to accidentally click on a link to hardcore anal sex. When Moran pointed out that it would be shocking for an eight year old boy as well, the feminist nearly bit off her head because the boy would feel comfortable as the man was in a position of control. What bollocks, any normal child would be freaked out by it. Regardless of gender. And surely true equality is what it's all about?
I bought a copy of Easy Living in Tesco today, just to see if it was still heading in the direction that had annoyed me. It's not the worst women's magazine by a long shot. The ones my little sister reads which inform impressionable young women that the massively attractive Kim Kardashian hates her body too, or the magazines which advise you on how best to pleasure your boyfriend are up there as the worst (the most worrying thing I've seen in that respect being a magazine which allegedly promotes safe sex advising girls who, in the absence of decent sex education in our schools, read these things and take them as gospel to use two condoms to delay their boyfriends orgasm. No, that would increase friction between the layers and make BOTH condoms more likely to split thus increasing the chances of unwanted pregnancy or STI). But Easy Living which I used to read for the lack of this rubbish and the variety of articles they used to have has still annoyed me.
Here are some of the ways it managed this in the July 2012 issue:
- Letters page- The star letter- typical tropes about pregnancy and motherhood. "No one would wish to return to the days when a married woman's lie was dominated by pregnancy, but, just occasionally, I find myself wishing the decision had been taken out of my hands." Seriously? Are you freaking kidding me?! Because you now regret not having children you wish that you had a child thrust upon you at a time when you were unable or unwilling to look after one. It's one thing to regret the choice that you had the freedom to make, but to wish, even in retrospect, to lose that choice and for a women's magazine to choose your wish to lose that choice as their star letter and thereby endorse the sentiment? Bloody shocking. There are no words for how disgusted I am with that.
- Also letters page- A nurse who will be voting for Nadine Dorries (a politician who is campaigning to reduce the legal abortion time limit in the UK as well as introducing abstinence as a form of sex education in UK schools) because "I think many women opt for the procedure without a real understanding of what happens". I have been lucky enough never to need an abortion, but I'm pretty sure that many women who do are intelligent enough to understand the procedure, as they would with any medical procedure they were about to undertake. Because we're not stupid. And better sex education, rather than preaching abstinence is what is needed if there is a problem with a lack of information.
- Why Women Such an Easy Target? A frankly weak article. Samantha Brick attracted a lot of criticism from women AND men because she wrote a nonsensical article which then had a Daily Mail edit. Giselle Bundchen caused controversy because she suggested that there should be a law which dictated that women should be forced to breast feed, as in suggested that we should no longer have the right to decide how to use our own bodies. What do you think the reaction would have been if a man proposed that law? Oh yes, there'd be outcry then too. You can't claim that everyone is ganging up on women if they are being criticized for saying something stupid just like a man would have been.
- Charlize Theron article, opens with an article about what she looks like, what she's wearing before going on to tell me that she sometimes feels fat. Oh yeah, the feeling fat bit has been dragged out and highlighted as an important text bite, one paragraph on her humanitarian work which I didn't know about and would have been interested to read about before going on to tell me about her love life. Standard female celebrity discourse.
- We then have the now regular fashion feature "The School Runway" which photographs mothers on the school run in fairly affluent areas to allow people to judge their outfits or compare themselves to the women. Unusually for this new feature, lots of the mothers are wearing high street (it was pretty much solid designer the last time I read it) and all look absolutely lovely in leafy suburbia. But seriously. Should we be encouraging people to feel that the school gate is a potential fashion shoot in which they will be judged? God save us all from the pressure to be yummy mummies unless that's what we want. I for one don't want to read about it every month.
I could go on indefinitely, those are some of the worst things in there for me. But this is an absolute clanger from the summer reads feature. Underlining is my own:

As Britain enters the First World War and the Suffragette movement gains momentum, lady-of-the-house Bea and her intelligent maid Grace struggle with their positions in society. In both love and politics, they find themselves not just crossing social lines but redrawing them. An entertaining reminder of how hard women fought to be heard both politically and in their private lives.
And yet, despite the subject matter and the success of her previous books, you thought the most important thing that you could say about the author was that she is married to the Chancellor? Depressing.

August is here which means to things: 1) my birthday month is here and 2) it's time for my July favorites!! This July has been super eventful and so much fun. I went to Mexico to visit my family and I had such a great time. I went by airplane for the very first time and it was pretty cool!!
The other exciting thing about July was that I decided to take an online blogging course to better my blogging. I am still taking the course but I have learned so much already. I have decided to change a few things up a bit on Makeup & Flowers. I have decided to solely talk about makeup because it is what I am most passionate about and it also seems to be my most popular topic. I will probably talk about skincare and other beauty but it will mostly be makeup.
I am super excited to change things up a bit and hope you like it!! Anyway, let's get into my favorites for the month of July. Enjoy!! Continue reading

2018 Nissan Pathfinder Review
Find out what adventures full of twist and turns lie ahead in the new 2018 Nissan Pathfinder. The Nissan Pathfinder is a legend in its class of SUVs. No matter where you are going, the Pathfinder will get you to your destination safe and efficiently. Right now, that is the Nissan guarantee.
Allow us to walk you through all of the new features and awesome reasons why the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder is the right SUV for you, with this informative 2018 Nissan Pathfinder Review.
Power and Performance
This SUV is designed for a true go-getter, ready for any challenge ahead and who handles it with class and strength. Drivers, get ready for the experience of a lifetime on the road in the Pathfinder, powered by a Direct Injection Gasoline 3.5-liter V6 engine and 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. The continuously variable transmission complements the engine by shifting effortlessly to give you the speed you need.
Pile in up to seven passengers in the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder, put your cargo in the remaining 16 cubic feet of space, buckle up and enjoy the smooth journey ahead in Philadelphia, Lansdale, and Doylestown.
Collapsing the third row will give you more than 47 cubic feet, and if you collapse the second and third rows, you practically have a flat bed of 79.8 cubic feet to load up really big items.
Keep your valuables safe inside of the discreet storage area under the floor; it is still accessible even if the third row seats are collapsed.
The Pathfinder has something that makes its 360 degree imaging camera system safer than the competing SUV's 360 degree camera. The 2018 Nissan Pathfinder camera makes drivers aware of moving objects around it with visual and sound alerts.
To take you further into the beyond of automobile intelligence, the available multi-touch controlled Nissan navigation system can tell you areas of interest on your journey. Sirius XM powered NissanConnect Services is available with different services and plans like using your compatible smartphone to start your engine remotely or call for assistance in the event of an accident.
Entertainment Triple Zone
You and your front passenger can enjoy music or great conversation, while the passengers in the second row can use the 8 inch driver headrest monitors to play video games, watch movies or connect a laptop while floating around Philadelphia, Lansdale, and Doylestown.
Second row passengers are thoroughly entertained while listening with two wireless headsets, so they don't disturb the groove upfront. They can use HDMI connectors to see the compatible smartphone or tablet screen on the 8-inch headrest monitors.
After the 2018 Nissan Review
Montgomeryville Nissan has every Pathfinder trim available: S, SV, SL, Midnight Edition and Platinum. After this 2018 Nissan Pathfinder review, we want to let you see how spectacular this SUV is in every trim level, so you can choose which model you will drive away from our dealership in. Give us a call today to speak with our awesome team to schedule your test drive today.

Mental Health Strategy approved
A long-term mental health strategy, approved at April Convocation, builds on the Law Society's existing mental health initiatives and lays the groundwork to explore additional supports or programs that fall within the organization's mandate.
The long-term plan and vision will address mental health and addiction issues through both preventive and regulatory strategies. A key element is consideration of the role that diversionary and confidential processes - including capacity hearings held in the absence of the public - may play in appropriate circumstances.

Recently, I had to restore a corrupted Windows XP machine.
Unfortunately, I had forgotten the administrator password.
(Actually, I wasn't the one set up the machine, so I never actually had the password.)
I had heard great things about the open-source project, Ophcrack, and this was my chance to try it out.
I downloaded the ISO for the Live CD and burned a CD using my Mac.
Popped it in the PC's drive, booted it up and let it run the the automated tests.
When I got back from lunch, I had working passwords for all the accounts.
In addition to the password tools, you get a pretty complete shell with many useful utilities.
The Ophcrack Live CD now has a permanent spot in my utility bag.

Read: John 3:1-21
We just came through Valentines Day and this past Sunday my
message was from the famous "love chapter" of 1 Corinthians
13. It is a reminder of what love is and what love is not.
It helps us to live a life of love towards God and with each
other. But I hope that we don't only consider those things in
the month of February.
One of the most popular Christian contemporary songs right now
is the song by Jesus Culture entitled "One Thing Remains."
Here are the lyrics and also a link to the song on Youtube if
you would like to listen to it.
Higher than the mountains that I face
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant through the trial and the change
One thing remains
One thing remains
Your love never fails it never gives up
it never runs out on me
On and one and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I never ever have to be afraid
One thing remains
In death and in life I'm confident and covered by the power of
your great love
My debt is paid there's nothing that can separate my heart
from your great love
What an amazing truth, that God's love never fails, never runs
out, and can never be separated from us. It's a truth that
should encourage us to live for him and keep him the constant
focus of all that we do.
In John 3 Jesus proclaims to Nicodemus that no one can see the
Kingdom of God unless they are born again. What he means is
that every sinner on this earth (that would be all of us)
needs to repent of their sins and live by the truth he has
God's love is seen perfectly through Jesus Christ. His love
does not want us to remain in sin but be changed and
transformed by his grace, love, and forgiveness. When Jesus
spoke to the woman caught in adultery in John 8 he said that
he did not condemn her, but he also said, "Go now and leave
your life of sin."
As we move past Valentines Day let us continue to embrace the
love that God has for us. It will remain as a constant source
for us and never fail us. As the song above says, "I never
have to be afraid."
Make it personal: How can you respond to God's love this week?
Find ways to show your need and your appreciation for this
love that is higher than the mountains that you face.
Have a great week,
Glen Rhodes, Arthur Mennonite Church

Eriko was on the couch thinking as rain hit the windows. Early summer always brought rain like this she thought quietly as she waited. The pitter patter was soothing and a stark contrast to the pounding in her heart. She took a deep breath, waiting.
It wasn't too long before Kazuya walked in. He gave her a small smile taking his shoes off, "I'm here! The rain is really coming down," He wiped off his glasses and smiled at Eriko, the smile faded when he saw her face. "What's wrong… was it the meeting?"
Eriko nodded. "They… are transferring me… Japan wants the workers to be more integrated in International Sites."
Kazuya relaxed a bit and smiled. "That's great! You can see the world… right? I'll be right behind you… I promise…" His words faded into silence as he noticed she did not smile back at him. "Unless….where…?"
"Site 354…" Eriko responded quietly. Her body was trembling a bit, and her hands were tightly folded together in her lap.
Kazuya mouths the words over before speaking. The reality of their job sinking in, "The red pool? There? T-They can't…"
Eriko merely nodded. Kazuya stood up and crossed the room, he looked out the window in silence. Not a word passed his lips as he calculated. How could things have gone so wrong? This wasn't supposed to happen, they were supposed to be together, get married, and start a family.
"What does this mean…" He finally said. "What did they say…?"
"That I have a duty to Foundation, especially to show what the Japanese personnel are meant to do. My work in the labs are good enough, I should be fine…"
"Eri…. you and I just joined… there are hundreds if not thousands of more experienced Chemists than either of us…"
Eriko nodded back, "I know…"
Kazuya ran his hand through his hair taking a breath, "They can't be serious… this is a joke, some ijime tatic, I swear…"
"Kazuya?" Eriko looked at him concerned.
"We'll figure this out…. they can't really send you there… its…. Keter Duty… you are too new… Keter…" He kept repeating it in disbelief as if soon Eriko would laugh and tell him she was kidding. But deep down he knew she was never capable of such a cruel joke.
"I know…" he said with determination. Kazuya pulled out his phone and left the room. Eriko sat there looking at the ring on her finger. Soon the silence of the apartment was broken, as shouting from the other room filled the air.
"You can't be serious! You can't do this!" It was then it stopped, finally drifting into silence only somewhat disturbed by quiet talking. "What do you think her chances are then? Then why?" Kazuya's voice broke a bit, and Eriko could hear it. Sadness pierced her heart.
Eriko buried her face in her hands as she waited.
"Yes, I understand, my apologies for the phone call in this manner. Yes. My apologies. Yes, you'll have it on your desk in the morning." Kazuya came back into the room. He looked at Eriko, his eyes met hers, he could see the tears forming. The fear in her eyes. His face softened and he sat next to her and embracing her tightly. "I'm so sorry Eri…"
She hugged him, holding him, trying to be strong. "It….is going to be okay. I have you…so I will be okay."
Kazuya's eyes widened. His thoughts…went frantic. However he knew he had little options, so he took the first one he thought of. He took a deep breath and looked at her. Staring long and hard before finally speaking. "I'm sorry…" He said as he took her hands in his and touching the ring, "I need you to…return this."
Eriko felt her breath leave her. "K-Kazuya…."
"Please…just… don't make this any harder…"
Eriko looked down and nodded. She slowly removed the ring and placed it in Kazuya's palm closing his hand around it. She looked up at him, trying to process this. He kissed her gently and got up. He began to start for the door he pocketing the ring and began to place on his jacket. "I'll inform your parents."
"You can't inform them we aren't allowed…" Eriko felt emotion well in her.
"I can inform them of your death…. we'll say it was an accident, I'll apologize… and I will comfort them. It's my fault for not protecting you better." He made no eye contact with her. His back was turned.
"Kazuya! I'm not dead!"
"It's Keter Duty, Eri. Not like here…. you….. its…. it is going to be better this way. We both know that." He seemed so sure of it. Eriko stood up. "You can't….do this Kazuya…not like this…please…"
"Its already done Eri…."
Eriko crossed over to him as he began to put on his shoes. "Then, you have to promise me! Promise me when I return…everything will go back…right? It will be like it never happened."
She reached out to touch him but he moved out of her way and opened the door, without looking back he said one last word: "Sure."
