Turning Off The Tap (3 of 4) by Jeff Strite
This content is part of a series.Turning Off The Tap (3 of 4)
Jeff Strite
Deuteronomy 15:1-11
OPEN: Little Tommy told his mother he had decided what he wanted when he grew up.
"Well, honey," she responded "what's that?"
He said, "I'd like to have a million dollars, a big house, and no bathtubs."
"No bathtubs?" asked his mother. "Why not?"
"Because," he said," when I grow up I want to be filthy rich."
APPLY: Now Deuteronomy 15 is a unique passage in the Old Testament. God is telling Israel… that if they did things His way they might not be "filthy" rich" - but they'd be fairly well off. God told Israel that if they did things the way He said they should "… the LORD your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you." Deuteronomy 15:6
In other words, if God's people followed God's financial principles they'd be ok financially.
But what are those financial principles?
1st principle: God wants His people to limit their debt.
God recognized that people would borrow money and get into debt once in a while. But He didn't want their debt to be such as would dominate their lives and destroy their potential. He decreed that debts were to be cancelled every 7 years. He also decreed that every 50th year was to be a Year Of Jubilee. In that year any property that had been sold was revert to its original owner.
My point is this: God never intended us to believe that debt is immoral. But God never intended us to believe that debt should be NORMAL.
Debt is not normal for us.
Debt is NOT where you and I should be.
God told Israel that if they obeyed him… they would "borrow from NONE."
That's where God wants us to be.
He wants you and I to get to the point where we don't need to borrow.
But how do you get there?
How do I come to point where I'm not borrowing money?
And if I'm in debt how do I get out of it?
Well the only way to ...

Fasoli Gino DOC Soave Borgoletto
This wine is an oak-free zone and it's made for drinking young to best appreciate its flowery bouquet and full, aromatic taste.
87 Points, The Wine Gang, 'There are Soaves at rockbottom prices and Soaves for which you need a £20 note. This all-Garganega version falls in the middle and for that alone it's useful; even better, its flavours are spot-on: gentle, refreshing, citrus and straw-like nuttiness.' May 2015 (2013 vintage)
Fasoli Gino
Fasoli Gino turned to organic viticulture in 1980 and since 1984 all of their land has been farmed organically. The nature of the land (partly clay and partly a mix of stones and sand), and the favourable microclimate (the wide and sunny valley, protected from the north by the Lessini mountains) make the area particularly suitable for vine growing. Currently the estate is cultivating 14 hectares of vineyards divided into seven parts: Casétta, Cassòla, Creàri, Pessétta, Perantònie, Orgno and Sànde. The type of land varies from one vineyard to the other, which has helped determine which varietals should be planted. In the clay soil there are 30–40 year old garganega vines, traditionally used for Soave wine. Where the soil is stony and sandy, some clones of chardonnay, merlot and pinot noir have been planted. The meticulous viticultural practices include: grass grown under the vines; manuring with bovine dung; balanced pruning to guarantee a low yield; parasite control using natural products and predators, and hand picking done at different times to select grapes at their optimum ripening point. The vinification is carried out with the use of modern technology whilst respecting the criteria of organic production.

|Service and Staff
|Our waiters were Arsana and Jati, both of whom were terrific. Special requests were never a problem. Our wine steward, Jess, went way above and beyond the call of duty. Not only did he keep our wine glasses constantly full, but most nights he presented our daughter with his origami creations to entertain her. She now has a paper zoo that consists of an eagle, a hopping frog, a flying duck, a rabbit, and several other Jess creations. After the first night, Jati knew to bring us cappuccinos after clearing our plates - which was a really pleasant way to conclude dinner, and HAL scores bonus points for providing complimentary cappuccino and espresso in the dining room. We are not boozers (one drink a night during the show is our style), so I was rather shocked when one of the bar stewards recognized me on Half Moon Cay (the first port of call after departing Ft. Lauderdale), and immediately referenced the drink my wife had ordered the night prior in the Vista Lounge AND our stateroom #.
The entertainment on board was very good. On our cruise, the evening shows consisted of several Vegas/Broadway-style sing/dance production shows, which were well executed. We also were treated to a crew singing/dancing show, comedienne Julie Barr (hilarious) and illusionist/comedian Leo Ward (awesome, though he's apparently heading home to New Zealand this week). We attended all of those evening shows, though didn't make it to the HAL version of American Idol. About the only critique I would offer is that the daytime entertainment options were somewhat limited, but on the port days that was a total non-issue, and on sea days we didn't really mind relaxing and reading either.
|Children's Programs
|How was Club HAL? Let's put it this way: The last night of the cruise, our daughter left half a chocolate chip cookie on her dessert plate, and asked us to take her up to Club HAL. When we asked her if she wanted to finish her cookie first, she said No, she really wanted to go to the club. The counselors, Courtney and Nicole, seemed to always keep the kids busy with activities that ranged from pirate night to movie night, and even took all the kids to one of the theater shows one night...
|Ship Quality
|Food and Dining
|Excellent, especially the lamb and the free cappucinos in the dining room. Terrific service by the waiters and bar stewards as well.
|Cabin / Stateroom
|The bed was terrific. There were 3 closets, as well as drawers in both the nightstands, and 2 more drawers beneath the bed. As our room was a triple, there were also two additional cabinets above the pull-out sofa. The living area of the cabin was comparably sized to others we've had aboard other ships, but the bathroom was far more spacious than the two previous cruiseships we've sailed on. The shower/tub combination was great, lots of water pressure. And a thoughtful mirror with a pullout door provided extra "countertop" space for toiletries. Another touch we really appreciated were the in-room curtains that effectively enabled us to separate the sofa area from the beds - by pulling the curtain across the room, we were able to read at night, without the light interfering with our daughter trying to sleep. The cabin location was also great. We considered this to be the most stable of the three cruises we've been on, even when we hit some choppy seas.

|George Town, Grand Cayman
|The weather was a bit rainy, which worked fine with our planned excursion - a city tour by bus combined with a stop at the Turtle Farm. Our daughter loved that, and got to hold a sea turtle, which was probably the highlight of the trip for her (at least that's what the photos suggest). As for the Rum Cake factory, don't waste your time: It is an overcrowded, chaotic hut frequented by every other tour group on the island. And the rum cakes, while delicious, are sold onboard the cruise ships at comparable prices.
|Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico
|Here we booked a private excursion (i.e. not through the ship) with Native Choice. We learned about the Chacchoben ruins tour through Cruise Critic, and as usual, Cruise Critic delivered. What can you say when one guide is Mayan by birth and the other guide's father discovered the ruins in 1942? David and Ivan knew every plant, every stone, every nugget of trivia you could possibly imagine. They pulled leaves off of trees, sharing with us the scents and tastes of the forests as the ancient Mayans must have done thousands of years ago. Keep your eyes peeled for fire ants on the ground at the ruins, and also the resident Tarantula spider, which we didn't find out about until after he posed for a picture with us (no kidding!). I would highly recommend this tour. One other recommendation: Anything you might want to buy at the Chacchoben ruins will be one-fifth the price back at the shops by the Costa Maya pier; don't waste your money at Chacchoben.
|Grand Turk Island
I would probably vote the water here to win the Turquoise Award, better even than Half Moon, which is saying something. We booked the Reefs & Rays excursion through the ship, and it was exceptional. A boat took our group of about 20 maybe a mile offshore to a coral reef called Round Key (Cay?) Reef, where we snorkeled amid colorful, tropical fish and the reef's resident barracuda. For someone who doesn't snorkel often at all, swimming within a couple arm's lengths of a barracuda is pretty spectacular -- especially since it didn't consider me lunch! After about 40 minutes of snorkeling, we hopped back on the boat, and headed to a tiny, uninhabited island (Gibbs Cay), where a family of Atlantic stingrays greeted us, and gobbled food (fish) right out of our hands. Our daughter joined us on the excursion, and while she stayed on the boat while we snorkeled, she enjoyed feeding and petting the stingrays.
Don't Miss: Snorkeling!
|Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)
|On Half Moon Cay, I went parasailing. It was simply breathtaking. Beyond that, we had fun playing in the water, and our daughter enjoyed the kids' area with the slides. The water could not have been more clear or beautiful, and referring to the sand as talcum powder does the sand an injustice; the talcum powder is more rough. The buffet lunch on the island was better-than-expected, with standard picnic fare (hamburgers, watermelon, etc) supplemented by barbeque ribs, grilled fish, pineapple, and other tasty options.

- Etteplan is designing an innovative medical automation system for Newico for tracking a pharmaceutical product all the way from the factory to the patient. The first part of the system will be introduced at Kuopio University Hospital in Finland in 2015.
In the not-too-distant future, the storage and dosage of medication at the hospital will be assisted by robots. Kuopio University Hospital has placed an order with Newico for an automation solution for the storage and dispensing of medicine to patients. Etteplan is Newico's main engineering partner in developing the automation system.
The system will be the first in the world capable of tracking medicine and its dispensation from factory to patient. According to the new system, the hospital pharmacy's storage robot will receive the medicines from the wholesaler and put them on the shelves. The storage robot will also collect and pack the medicine destined for the hospital wards. In the wards, medicines will be managed, dosed and dispensed using an automated system that is integrated with patient data systems. The automated system will also provide guidance to nursing staff and record the procedures carried out by the nurses.
- Automated medicine dispensation will be the biggest change seen in hospitals in decades and, in our view, it will be a key tool for hospitals as the population ages and they are forced to tighten their purse strings. But an even more important benefit of the system will be improved patient safety, says Toivo Naaranlahti, hospital pharmacist and head of the pharmacy department at Kuopio University Hospital.
- The starting point for developing the system is to design the medicine dispensing process from the point of view of patient safety. Every year, manual storage and dispensation of medicine leads to hundreds of errors that put patients' lives in jeopardy. The new system minimizes human error in medicine dispensing and frees up nursing staff so they can focus on patient care, says Jukka Mauranen, Key Account Manager at Newico.
- Etteplan sees medical technology as an important growth area. As the medical devices used in health care become smarter, the requirements set for high-quality engineering and technical product information solutions will grow, concludes Etteplan's Veikko Lamminen, SVP Operations Finland

Etteplan Oyj's investment in innovation has been recognized by the Dutch Association for Service Management (NVSM). The association's first ever Innovation Award was given to Etteplan's Dutch subsidiary Etteplan | Tedopres for its HyperSIS Service Information System.
"The NVSM award clearly shows that we have managed to foster a culture of innovation throughout our whole organization ‒ developing service solutions that go beyond traditional engineering design services," says Etteplan's President and CEO Juha Näkki.
HyperSIS was awarded particularly for its innovative use of existing technologies.
"The strength of HyperSIS is that it combines technologies like QR code scanning, augmented reality and visual search using 3D illustrations to allow service engineers to find the information they need to do maintenance tasks as efficiently as possible," says Roeland Staal, chairman of NVSM.
The importance of service business for equipment and machinery manufacturers is growing constantly. Improved efficiency in machine service can bring considerable savings in both time and money for any company committed to developing its service business.
"Studies have shown that with a traditional manual, even downloaded into a laptop, the service engineer uses 25‒50% of his time during one assignment to find the right information. In a company with hundreds or thousands of service engineers, cutting this time is essential," says Berry Braster, Etteplan | Tedopres's sales and marketing director.
The unique HyperSIS product is a tablet application, which gives service engineers quick and easy access to up-to-date maintenance information. Ease of use is facilitated by information structured in data modules and maintained in a content management system.
"For example, a service engineer can scan the QR code from a machine and get all the relevant information about that particular, tailored machine. With the help of HyperSIS, he can troubleshoot the system and even order a new part, if necessary."
HyperSIS has been released earlier this year, with the first implementations under way in Finland and the Netherlands. The customers involved in the pilot projects are mostly engineering works.
Etteplan acquired the Dutch Tedopres in 2012 to strengthen its technical product information services offering.

Business implications of the new 3rd edition of the medical electrical equipment standard EN 0601-1 are not widely known in the industry. A thorough regulatory plan and gap analysis to comply with the renewed standard can save medical device manufacturers time and money according to Etteplan's experts. Etteplan is one of the largest companies providing engineering design services in the Nordics and expert in the area of medical technology.
The renewed standard contains hundreds of new requirements. Compliance to these can be a daunting task for many companies involved in the development and manufacturing of medical equipment. The new edition has implications on both the product development process as well on the way how the regulatory process is conducted. The risks must be assessed more holistically than before during the entire product development process. Also the amount of needed documentation will grow.
The situation is made more complicated by the fact that different countries adopt and require standard compliance in different stages of the development process and product specific standards for certain equipment have their own transition dates. As a result companies are facing a complex multidimensional compliance matrix to navigate through involving a lot of time, resources and interdisciplinary competences.
"A well prepared regulatory plan and a gap analysis are essential if you want to keep your costs down and shorten the time-to-market. To take all necessary considerations into account and prioritize the tasks requires a project team which has multi-disciplinary expertise. The team has a very important role to ensure success of the product development project", advices Micael Johansson, a regulatory expert in Etteplan's med tech team.
Etteplan is co-organizing a seminar on the renewed standards in Stockholm on May 10, 2012: "Nya standards för medicinteknik från 1 juni; Hur påverkas ert företag?" For more information on the seminar, please visit: http://www.swedishmedtech.se/.

Thanks to the acquisition, Etteplan Oyj's service offering in technical product information will be expanded by ground-breaking methods and technologies. With this transaction Etteplan becomes a major pioneer and key player in the industry in Europe, with more than 300 specialists in the field.
Tedopres International BV is an internationally recognized company and the leading developer of methods and software for Simplified Technical English (STE) and Simplified Technical Illustrations (STI). The company's customers include Boeing, John Deere, Rolls-Royce, Electrolux, Sony and Philips.
STE was originally developed for the needs of the aerospace industry. Several international companies are increasingly adopting STE in their technical documentation.
STE's writing rules and vocabulary produce a simple, easily understandable English text. The use of STE will improve the readability, usability and quality of technical documents, such as operating and maintenance instructions and other manuals. Other benefits include improved product safety for the user, thanks to the elimination of misunderstandings and ambiguities. The amount of text is significantly lower in materials produced by the STE principle, which can decrease translation and printing costs by up to 30 to 40 percent. More efficient production and distribution processes also enable quicker market entry for the product.
Another innovative solution in the company's portfolio is an illustration method based on the Simplified Technical Illustrations principle. The method utilizes 3D images created during the customer's product development and engineering processes and the information contained in them for the production of technical product information.
In addition to conventional media, Tedopres's technologies make it possible to distribute technical product information for example via tablet computers and voice applications. Tedopres has supplied the Netherlands Ministry of Defense with an application that displays the virtual maintenance instructions of equipment from a computer to a head-mounted display. More information about Tedopres and the methods and technologies developed by the company is available via this video link or on the company's websites www.tedopres.com and www.simplifiedenglish.net.
"Etteplan's customers will now enjoy even more wide-ranging services," says Juha Näkki, President and CEO of Etteplan. "With STE, we can accomplish major cost savings for our customers thanks to content that is more concise and of a higher quality. Furthermore, Tedopres's innovative technology for the distribution of product information in mobile terminal devices will bring the possibilities to utilize technical product information to a new level in our customer industries."
"I'm confident that Tedopres has found a new owner with whom Tedopres can continue to grow and prosper. Together Etteplan and Tedopres have all the possibilities to lead the way in the development of innovative technical product information solutions", states André N. Verduijn, Founder and Director of Tedopres.

Hopes of fresh ECB action help European stocks extend rally
* FTSEurofirst 300 up 0.8 pct, Italy's MIB up 1.5 pct
* Expectation of further ECB action boosts sentiment
* Europe equities snap streak of 38 weeks of inflows
By Blaise Robinson
PARIS, March 28 (Reuters) - European stocks rallied on Friday, with Milan's benchmark index hitting a near three-year high, lifted by mounting expectations that the European Central Bank may ease policy next week to support the region's fragile economic recovery.
Speculation that China could step in to stimulate its economy also helped lift sentiment, boosting shares of metal and mining stocks, with Anglo American up 1.5 percent and Glencore Xstrata up 2 percent.
The FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares ended 0.8 percent higher, at 1,332.29 points, while Milan's FTSE MIB index surged 1.5 percent, hitting a level not seen since May 2011.
Banco Popolare rose 7 percent and was the biggest gainer on the Italian index, the day after the lender set the price for a planned capital increase, while Telecom Italia gained 1.5 percent.
The MIB is up 13 percent so far this year, strongly outpacing other big European markets such as the UK's FTSE 100 , which has slipped 2 percent so far in 2014, and Germany's DAX, up 0.4 percent, as well as Wall Street's S&P 500, up 0.8 percent. Continuación...

A long time ago in a flat far, far away Mark Hamill once nearly caught Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford having sex.
Or at least that's what Carrie Fisher claims in her book, The Princess Diarist, where she alleges that Mark once turned up at Ford's apartment unannounced when they were having an 'adult sleepover'.
The Star Wars' actress claims that she and Hollywood icon Ford engaged in an 'intense' 12-week relationship back in 1976 when she was just 19 and he was 33 years-old, The Mirror reports.
She wrote:
Once, on one of the rare occasions when we did have a sleepover at Harrison's apartment, Mark … dropped by unannounced. Clearly I hadn't just dropped by for brunch.
Luckily for the pair it seems that Ford's as quick thinking as his on-screen counterpart and used reverse psychology on Hamill to avoid suspicion by joking they were engaged.
Despite revealing the affair – which happened when Ford was married – Fisher's gone decidedly quiet on the topic, admitting on Twitter she won't be revealing any more about the pair's dalliance insisting the act itself is 'private'.
She said:
Sex is private. So it is with uncharacteristic reservation and scruples that I quash any details.
The pair's affair ended when Star Wars wrapped, but it's clear that Carrie remembers their romance fondly saying it was nothing but 'friendly feelings and wonderful sex'.
