"A calorie is a calorie." Or so the debate goes. And it's true. Until you chew that calorie up and swallow it. Then it's a whole other story. The calorie myth stops here! Yes, calories have the same "thermodynamic" value—meaning, they burn at the same rate on a Bunsen burner. But your body is not a Bunsen burner.
So even though one gram of protein has four calories and one gram of fat has nine calories, once they're ingested they have different functions, absorption rates, and physiological effects. Thus, not all calories are equal. There. We said it. So what's going on behind the scenes?
Debunking The Calorie Myth
"One gram of sugar from a cookie has just as many calories as one gram of sugar from a carrot," writes Kathryn Seigel of Greatist. But, "it's how the body uses calories from these sources that makes them different." She explains:
- Protein rebuilds damaged tissue and creates certain hormones and enzymes.
- Fat coats our organs in protective cushioning and is necessary to absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
- Carbohydrates convert to glucose for accessible energy.
- Trans fats can raise bad cholesterol and increase risk of heart disease.
How Calories Burn
Because these macronutrients play such different roles inside the body, they are distributed and burned at different rates. So, what's the breakdown?
- Protein calories have the highest satiability—meaning they make you feel fuller and more satisfied. That's because the body burns these calories slower, and for longer.
- Carbohydrate calories are the body's main source of glucose(energy). These calories are burned first for fast, efficient energy.
- Fat calories are the most concentrated source of energy. These calories are the last source of energy for your body.
How Calories Absorb (or Don't)
Also, the calorie count on the nutrition label isn't telling the whole story. Not only do calories burn at different rates, but they are also absorbed differently. Nuts, for example, are very high in fat and protein. That explains why one handful of almonds has super appetite-quelling power. But, at 150 calories in 20 nuts, you don't want to get crazy with trail mix. And yet, we might be wrong about that.
As the New York Times reported, "only about three-quarters of the calories [nuts] contain are absorbed. The rest are excreted from the body unused. So the calories listed on their labels are not what the body is actually getting."
Plus, there's our hero: fiber. It aids digestion, nutrient absorption, and detoxification. And get this: fiber is only partially digested. That means the calories from high fiber foods may deliver even fewer calories than the label indicates.
As health columnist Mark Bittman explains, "Most [fiber] calories don't get into the body, which is one reason why fruits and vegetables, which are high in fiber, help with weight loss." You might be consuming 100 calories per banana, but the insoluble fiber sweeps through your system unabsorbed. This fact isn't accounted for in the calorie count.
Why We Want More
The glycemic index (GI) also illuminates the superficiality of the all-calories-are-equal theory. As the New York Times reports in a recent study from Dr. David Ludwig, "high glycemic foods (such as sugar, bread and potatoes) spike blood sugar and stimulate hunger and cravings, which can drive people to overeat."
So, for example, while a bowl of steel-cut oatmeal may have the same amount of calories as a blueberry muffin—those calories behave vastly differently in the body. That high-GI muffin will spike and drain your insulin levels, making you hungrier faster, and more likely to eat more during the day. The low-GI carbs of the oatmeal burn slower, so you feel satisfied longer.
How Quality Counts
The calorie-is-a-calorie theory breaks down with dieting, too. Yes, the old adage holds true: burn more calories than you consume, and you'll lose weight. But, it's not a simple calorie-in/calorie-out equation. Dr. Ludwig's paper found low-fat dieters burned fewer calories at rest.
The experiment compared three diets: low-fat, low-GI, and low-carb: essentially pitting the 1980s against The Zone and Dr. Atkins. And who came out on top? Participants on the low-GI diet burned up to 300 more calories a day, even though they were consuming the same number of calories as low-fat dieters.
Thus, it's not the amount of calories that matter, it's the source. Ludwig's low-fat dieters were restricted from eating high-fat foods (often higher in protein), causing their metabolism to plummet. As you can see in the chart above, the low-GI (LGI) and very low carb (VLC) burned more calories at rest, and in total, because the protein and fat calories they were eating burned slower and longer.
This case isn't closed. Research continues to illuminate the different roles calories from fat, protein, and carbohydrates play during metabolism.

Fiscal Fast: "No Buy Challenge" Day 6
Today is day 6 of my "no-buy"challenge/fiscal fast. I am not having withdraws and here is why:
- Its freezing cold and I am hibernating instead going out to stores
- I really have a consistent urge to purge and organize every time I get home
- Getting rid of stuff is liberating and bringing stuff in seems daunting (lately)
- I like open space and minimal clutter
- I am using this month to do a thorough pulse check on all of my finances, including meeting with my financial advisor
- I have a lot clothes, shoes, and accessories and I am looking forward to shopping my own closet and creating my personal style
- Don't judge me….but I have about 8 pair of pants that I skip over simply because they need to be pressed. I do the dishes every night and clean the bathroom 2x per week but I absolutely despise ironing. So, I am either going to iron them this weekend or drop them off to be pressed at my local dry cleaner.
- I only have 6 months to transform my body (more on that later) and my size will likely change again soon so it does not make sense to purchase clothing at my current size.
- I actually like using the products I have. Since I am not buying anything else, I am discovering products I forgot I even had, like pure argan oil, which my hair absolutely loves.
- I like conquering challenges and tend to have better outcomes when I "face a challenge" rather than make a resolution. I know its silly but mental semantics matter to me. *Kanye Shrug*

- How to know Jesus
You don't wanna have a lousy circumstance come along and ruin your week, do ya? You don't wanna have somebody else do something that you couldn't control, and now have to give up your joy because they decided to have a bad day. That's not what Jesus died for us to have. He wants us to have peace and joy, and to be stable, and to have it all the time, no matter what's going on in our circumstances, amen?
Satan is the god of this world, and he can mess around with our circumstances. But if we trust God, He will use every one of them to our good. They will help us grow spiritually. And as we stay strong in Him, then we will see additional blessings in our life according to what God knows that we can handle.
And so Paul said, "I've learned, how to be content, satisfied to the point where I'm not disturbed". Being content doesn't mean you never wanna see any change in your life. There's all kinds of things that I wanna see changed, and all kinds of people that I wanna see changed. But thankfully, I've come to the point where I'm not upset about it now. I'm not losing my joy.
You know why? I'm really well aware that only God can change it. And me bein' upset about it's not gonna get Him to move any faster. And so he said, "I've learned how to be content whether I'm abased or abounding".
And he said that because he trusted God so much that he knew that if he was going through a term of difficulty, that there was a reason for it. Even if he didn't understand it, he trusted God to work it out for his good.
Can we believe that all things work together for our good if we trust God? All things. But let's be able to believe that while we're in it. See, I wanted to be able to say last week when I was going through my little thing, and it was a little thing, believe me.
It was nothin' to even crab about. But it was just a little thing. But as I was goin' through it I thought, "Now, God, I wanna go through this the way I'm supposed to go through it. And so help me now".
See, a lot of times we can go through very difficult things, and 3, 4 years down the road, we can look back and say, "Oh, yeah, yeah, I see how God used that in my life. It worked out for good". Can any of you think of stuff like that right now? "I see how God used that in my life. It worked out good". But God wants us to get it on this side. See?
The Israelites danced and sang, but they did it on the wrong side of the red sea. They waited till they got through the red sea, and then they had a party. God wanted 'em to dance on this side when they were facing it. Amen? They remind us to be totally dependent on God. They help us develop character. And we give glory to God.
Revelation 12:11 says: "We overcome him," him being satan, "By the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of our testimony".
Well, you can't have a testimony without a test. Test-imony. What we have to make sure of is that when we're done, we don't just have the moanies. And still don't have a testimony. Because in God's economy, if you don't pass the test, you get to take it again.
Well, we had a piece of property we needed to sell. Well, I'll put it like this. I wanted to sell it. I don't know if "Need" is the right word, but I wanted to sell it. So 3 and 1/2 years, we didn't even get an offer. And 3 and 1/2 years is a long time for me to wait. Now, Dave couldn't have cared less if we sold in 2 days or 10 years, you know? Because he's just like, "It'll sell at the right time. God'll sell it at the right time".
You know, sometime, if you need to grow in patience and you're around somebody that's really patient, aren't they annoying? And so, okay, I mean, I'm prayin' about this piece of property. I'm getting people to agree with me about selling this piece of property. I'm rebuking the devil because I'm not getting any offers on my property. I'm confessing that my property is sold, in Jesus' name.
And one morning I started to talk to the Lord again about the property, and He said, "Will you forget that property? Will you just forget that property and let Me take care of it?"
Now, don't miss the second half of what I said. "Will you forget about it?" See, some of you have issues and you've just been camped on top of 'em so long that God couldn't get a chance to help you if He tried. You almost gotta get to the point where you just flat-out don't care. And it's like, "It's up to you". "Will you forget about that?"
Now, as God is my witness, I'm tellin' you the absolute truth. In 2 weeks it sold. Now, it would come back to my mind, and I would just say, "Nope, God's takin' care of that". Now, you know, I'm not sayin' that you can't pray about things for a long time. But I will be honest and say I think there comes a time where we don't need to pray about somethin' anymore.
Maybe if it comes to your mind, you just say, "Thank you, God. You're takin' care of that". That's a type of prayer too, you know? But we don't have to just keep askin' for the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Now, "When a man is fully patient," James says, "They're perfect and entire, lacking nothing". Now, that's an amazing scripture. And you know what that basically means, if I can just give it to ya in the short way of what I think? I think it means when we become fully patient, we so trust God for His timing, His way, that we know that God will take care of it.
We know that God will do what we've asked if indeed that is His will. And to be honest, I believe the church worldwide needs to grow spiritually to the point where we really truly don't want anything that's not God's will. Because we can't be happy with anything that's not God's will. I don't care how much I want it. If it's not right for me, then instead of tryin' to finagle around and figure out a way to get it. Amen?

We werken al jaren samen met zelfstandige taaldocenten die ofwel via Skype ofwel in Culemborg en omgeving werken. Drie maanden geleden hebben we onze pool uitgebreid met een enthousiaste docent uit Zwitserland, Luc Boeke. Luc is Nederlands, maar voelt zich Europeaan en stelt zich daarom graag in het Engels voor:
"Energetic, agile communicator and networker, always on the move…" These are five key ingredients that can be found in people's feedback when asked about me.
I was in born in 1967, the Summer of Love, in the Netherlands. But since I first left the country for a longer period, in 1987, I consider Europe as my home. Of the past 30 years, I have lived a third abroad: France, Belgium and Switzerland are my top 3 of foreign destinations. As a result of my roaming around, four of Europe's key languages are in my skill set.
The environment I thrive in is multinational and -cultural. Not a coincidence my employers include companies like Liberty Global, GfK, Orange: each of them has a footprint that spans continents. I graduated in 1999 and worked as a university teacher, a market researcher and a data analyst ever since.
Throughout my career, working with people has been a tremendous drive for me. In hindsight, I have found that in my work in hospitality and education the people 'factor' was at its best. For me, it is all about accommodating people, supporting, coaching, motivating and energizing them.
So maybe not a coincidence that, in the sidelines of my academic career, I have had the pleasure and privilege to work as a volunteer on a multitude of projects and social/educational programs, for example teaching computer skills to the elderly or coaching refugees on their way to the Dutch labour market.
Now that my career has matured and I look back over the past 20 years, I am determined to shift to 'people work' again. And that is when I found out about Taaltutor and the opportunity to work as a language teacher, in the Spring of 2019.
A final remark on me and who I am… one of my greatest passions in life is doing sports: running, hiking, (water) skiing, biking, bowling and football. And wherever we can, my wife Marije and I go outdoors together with our two dogs, Stella and Lilly.
Best from Zurich (CH), hope to see/speak/Skype with you soon!

In this post, we have covered how to Improve the performance of a database and multiplying its performance significantly.
Performance tuning is also known as the "Black Art" and anybody that possesses this art is no less than a DB wizard. But it ain't no Art it is just keeping the data in a database in such a way that the queries that are run on it consume the least processing power and time.
We have progressed tremendously in hardware and software but there is still much room to improve the efficiency by customizing their settings and configuration for the database and the DBMS.
(Note: If you are just starting out or new to DataBase Performance tuning then I would suggest you check our previous post on Introduction to Performance Tuning In Oracle Database)
Hardware Tuning
Improving Hardware, Software can improve performance significantly, using fast storage solution like SSD or using the storage in RAID configuration can improve I/O speed.
In the digital era, of technology the data is huge and the task of managing it becoming complex, many advancements have been made, hardware used now is capable of handling multiple queries at the same time and the DB structure is optimized to improve performance and to take advantage of all the high-end hardware and software.
DBMS Tuning
Tuning the DBMS means configuring the memory and processing resources of the computer in the DBMS. Usually, this is done by configuring the DBMS, but the resources involved are shared with the host system.
Setting the recovery interval (time needed to restore the state of data to a particular point in time), assigning parallelism (the breaking up of work from a single query into tasks assigned to different processing resources), and network protocols used to communicate.
Memory allocation for data, execution plans & procedure cache. It is much faster to access data in memory than on storage, so maintaining the cache of data improves performance. Caching execution plans and procedures reduces recompilation time. It is important to have more and faster memory, leaving enough for other processes and the OS to eliminate excessive paging of memory to storage.
Processing resources are assigned to specific activities to improve concurrency. On a server with ten processors, Eight could be reserved for the DBMS so that processing resources for the database are always available and DBMS could even use all the ten processors when an extra processor is free.
Automation can also be used to improve performance. Machine learning is used to learn and evaluate the performance under various workloads and apply changes when required.
Query Optimisation
Query Optimisation is usually the fastest way to get the best performance out of the SQL server. Usually, this is the most used to improve the performance, as it does not have any downtime and the DBA could easily replace the old SQL queries with the new well-optimized SQL queries.
Improving poorly written queries and indexes that are inefficient. Even the minutest change can have a dramatic impact on the database performance.
Improving Indexes
Indexes are data structures can improve the speed of retrieval operations on a database. Creating indexes is very important steps for performance tuning. Useful indexes provide rapid lookups and help you locate the data with fewer disk I/O operations and consuming less system resource.
It is very important to analyze the type of queries and its frequency before you create efficient indexes. Indexing the major searching and ordering columns. However, indexing may even hinder the performance if the tables are constantly loaded with INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE.
Transaction log in a heavily used database grows rapidly. Transaction logs must be removed to make room for future entries. Frequent transaction log backups are small and only interrupt database activity for a short period only.
Avoid using SELECT *
You can try to include the required columns that you need. A query will always run faster when there are fewer data to retrieve.
for Example, you can use —
Avoid Coding Loops
For best performance, you should avoid loops in your code. Instead, you can modify the code by using a unique INSERT or UPDATE statement.
Don't Shrink Data Files
Shrinking data files may negatively impact the performance of an SQL Server. Shrinking process can get very distasteful at times. It also causes fragmentation, which results in the poor performance of the subsequent queries.
At times shrinking a file might be absolutely necessary. However, you mustn't forget to analyze its impact on performance before trying.
We hope this helps while writing queries or processes and will aide you for performance tuning in SQL Server. However, always remember to evaluate each situation separately and decide which method works best for your database.
The performance tuning process centers around four main steps:
- Identify – pick the correct SQL statement to tune and avoid wasting your time.
- Gather – gather the proper information that will help you make the best tuning decisions.
- Tune – tune the SQL statement based on the gathered information.
- Monitor – ensure the SQL statement is tuned and stays tuned. Monitoring also helps you understand the exact benefits achieved. This step also starts the process over again and helps you identify the next project.
Please stay tuned for our coming post on performance Tuning we will be covering how to Identify – Which SQL to Tune
These are just a glimpse of some of the factor which needs to be taken care of while considering the performance of your database.
You will get to know all of this and deep-dive into each concept related to Performance Tuning once you will get enrolled in our Performance Tuning On-Premise & Cloud

Puppet power at Groveland Park
Back on 3rd July, we enjoyed an evening with Paul – this was one of the funniest shows that Groveland Park has ever seen, hands down. Paul is an amazing ventriloquist and not only was his performance spot on, but we were wowed by how he could sing using different voices – and with impeccable timing! The puppets used in the show were so realistic and funny, and Paul had us in stitches throughout. The residents all said they hadn't laughed like that a long time, and the event was given a rave review. Keep an eye out for future performances from Paul!

Know your pomegranates
Many years ago, on my first trip to India, I tasted pomegranates for the first time. I went to the market and bought a big bag of them, squeezed the juice into a glass and topped it up with chilled soda water. It was cooling and delicious. I was also intrigued on a recent trip to Granada (which incidentally is the Spanish word for pomegranate) in Spain to see them growing in every public garden we visited and even wild on patches of wasteland, not surprising as their seeds are distributed by birds.
Pomegranates have always been an expensive luxury fruit in New Zealand, until now. They are being grown in New Zealand but the bins of them I have seen this year in the supermarket are full of imported fruit which is not expensive. They seem to have gone mainstream, you can even buy punnets of the seeds.
The pomegranate's botanical name, Punica granatum, is a combination of the ancient Roman name for them which translates as "Carthaginian apple", hence the "Punic" part of the first word, and the Latin word for "many seeds", granatum, hence the Spanish "Granada". I have always loved food writer Alan Davidson's description of pomegranates: "The pomegranate has an interior of surpassing beauty, like an ovoid Faberge jewel-case opened to display rubies within." And indeed it is. The pomegranate has a leathery ivory-through-rose-to scarlet coloured skin. This leathery skin means they will keep an extraordinary length of time in the fridge. I have kept them refrigerated for at least a month with no adverse effects.
The interior contains white spongy flesh in which are embedded lots of seeds encased in ruby-coloured juice capsules. Some people have a problem with the seeds. I just chew the juice capsules lightly to release the juice without breaking the seeds and then swallow them. You can eat pomegranates simply by slicing in half and picking out the seed capsules with a spoon or with a large pin as I once saw my 5-year-old son doing.
Releasing the seed capsules from the white flesh is easy, though a little messy if you are not prepared. I prefer to slice the pomegranate through its equator, take one half in my hand, give it a gentle squeeze to loosen the seed capsules, hold it, seed-side down over a large bowl (to contain splatters of the scarlet juice — you might want to wear an apron) and firmly tap the skin with a rolling pin or wooden spoon. The seed capsules will be released into the bowl.
How to use
Pomegranate (by which I mean the seed capsules) makes a beautiful garnish for savoury salads (roasted beetroot, red onion and mint with balsamic vinaigrette and a good sprinkling of pomegranate); fruit salads (diced watermelon, sliced strawberries and pitted cherries with a little sugar and rosewater, sprinkled with pomegranate has been a big hit in our house this summer); creamy desserts (try pomegranate sprinkled on the top of your next pavlova or panna cotta); or just about any Middle Eastern dish (think rice pilafs or cumin- and cinnamon-dusted, garlicky barbecued lamb cutlets with pomegranate-sprinkled yoghurt and mint). The juice is good in dressings, or just to drink. The cocktail ingredient, Grenadine, was traditionally made from concentrated pomegranate juice.
When buying pomegranates look for glossy, unbruised (they shouldn't have soft bits) fruit with no cuts or deep dents and pray that the establishment selling them knows about quality, as the leathery skin makes it hard to judge by feel or smell. The sides do flatten out a bit as they ripen so a perfect sphere isn't necessarily the best shape.
Pomegranates are a delectable fruit. It is no
wonder that in ancient Greek myth, when Persephone was abducted and taken to the underworld and
refused to eat, it was a pomegranate that tempted her. She swallowed six seeds, which meant she had to return to the underworld for six months which became winter on earth.

Forensic Computer Animation
Forensic animation is the practice of turning factual reports and detailed statements from eyewitnesses, police investigators and forensic experts into 3d animated crime scene recreations or accident or disaster reconstructions. With the onset of new developments in technology, forensic animation can be created and processed at faster rates than ever before. Improved processing power and more sophisticated 3D software packages means there are more tools available to produce realistic 3D forensic animation more quickly.
That said, in forensic computer animation it is essential that the elements created for a crime scene recreation use custom modeling so that the elements match those at the crime scene exactly. This is the only way to preserve the accuracy of the forensic information and create a 3D animation of an event or scene that is useful for litigators in a courtroom.
Also used for something known as demonstrative evidence, 3D computer animation cannot be used to "prove" a case but, can be used to visually support the verbal testimony of an expert witness. Since the information they relay in court is often complicated and pertaining to a specific industry, legal animation is a tool used to help jurors understand and retain information presented by these witnesses.
Scientists from a wide variety of disciplines may be involved in the creation of a 3D crime scene reconstruction depending on the case. Accident reconstructionists, forensic medical experts, weapons experts, engineers etc. are often used to explain key arguments. Forensic animators must take all the fact filled reports and information from these experts and use that as reference to recreate the crime, accident or crime scene.
Thanks to the wide spread use of 3D animated computer graphics in television, film, video gaming, etc. jurors today will likely have expectations of a higher degree of realism. Crudely created animations will not be appealing or credible to an audience of jurors today. Poorly rendered animations by inexperienced animators have given this visual tool a bad reputation in some instances. Animators experienced in forensics will spend over half of their project hours researching and double checking the accuracy of the facts they are animating. The best forensic animators also understand a broad range of technical fields and can quickly assimilate information about new subjects and represent stated events accurately.
The testimony of expert witnesses needs to be considered as the basis of the animations with the witness directly advising on the authentication of the information in the animation. The animation must be disclosed to the opposition in plenty of time for opponents to cross examine. A forensic animator may be called to testify that their work was created with accuracy and adherence to the rules governing demonstrative evidence.
Reputable animation studios with experienced artists, especially those with experience in informational work such as forensics, litigation, news, informational programming or documentaries will have the kind of experience needed to ensure that the work will be 100% accurate and therefore admissible in court. Clear objectives, a solid work schedule which includes stages at which the animations are approved by the client are all benefits of working with experienced animators.
Pricing of forensic animation projects is hard to generalize as each project has a unique set of requirements. Generally, the higher the degree of realism, the more complex the objects are and the number of times the scene must change are all determining factors. Some elements, such as water, fire, explosions are harder to create in 3D as they do not have solid, easy to build geometric shapes. These types of elements take longer and that will be reflected in the price. Some animation studios charge hourly rates while others propose flat rates per project. Other studios calculate a general fee based on a price per second of animation needed.
Changes always impact the cost so it is important to have the objectives clear from the beginning. Changing the point of view of the camera slightly does not impact the cost as much as adding new elements to a scene or changing the scene or location altogether.

The Holy Day of the Lights…, which we are celebrating to-day, has for its origin the Baptism of my Christ.
He is the true Light that lightens every man that comes into the world, and effects my purification, and assists that light which we received from the beginning from Him from above, but which we darkened and confused by sin.
[…] "The Light shines in darkness", in this life and in the flesh, and is chased by the darkness, "but is not overtaken by it".
I mean, it is not overtaken by the adverse power which leaps up in its shamelessness against the visible Adam, but which encounters God and is defeated.
This happens so that we, putting away the darkness, may draw near to the Light, and may then become perfect Light, the children of perfect Light.
See the grace of this Day; see the power of this mystery.
[…] At His birth we duly kept festival, both I, the leader of the Feast, and you, and all that is in the world and above the world.
With the star we ran, and with the magi we worshipped, and with the shepherds we were illuminated, and with the angels we glorified Him.
With Symeon we took Him up in our arms, and with Anna the aged and chaste we made our responsive confession.
[…] Now, we come to another action of Christ, and another mystery. I cannot restrain my pleasure; I am rapt into God.
Almost like John I proclaim good tidings; for though I am not a Forerunner, yet am I from the desert.
Christ is illumined, let us shine forth with Him. Christ is baptized, let us descend with Him that we may also ascend with Him.
[…] John baptizes, Jesus comes to Him…, perhaps to sanctify the Baptist himself, but certainly to bury the whole of the old Adam in the water.
And before this, and for the sake of this, He comes to sanctify Jordan; for as He is spirit and flesh, so He consecrates us by Spirit and water.
[…] But further—Jesus goeth up out of the water…, for with Himself He carries up the world….
He sees the heaven opened which Adam had shut against himself and all his posterity, as the gates of Paradise by the flaming sword.
And the Spirit bears witness to His Godhead, for he descends upon One that is like Him, as does the voice from heaven (for He to Whom the witness is borne came from thence).
He descends like a dove, for He honours the body (for this also was God, through its union with God) by being seen in a bodily form.
Gregory Nazianzen (c.330-390): Oration 39, 1-2; 14-16.

Loretta Hall won a first place in nonfiction from New Mexico Press Women and a third place from NFPW with her book "Out of this World: New Mexico's Contributions to Space Travel. " In the book, she describes crucial contributions to space travel made by scientists, engineers, and assorted adventurers in New Mexico, beginning with Robert Goddard's arrival in Roswell in 1930.
In subsequent decades, creative and courageous researchers refined rocketry and resolved other potential impediments to human spaceflight, including cosmic radiation, prolonged weightlessness, acceleration and deceleration forces, confinement and isolation in a space capsule, and the ability to react appropriately to emergencies in space.
Hall is a freelance writer with a wide range of interests. She has written on topics ranging from ecological architecture to multiculturalism. She has lived in Albuquerque with her family since 1977.
Lynne Hinton is a novelist and a hospice chaplain as well as an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ. She was born and raised in North Carolina, but makes her home in the southwest. Her first novel "Friendship Cake" appeared on the Extended New York Times Bestseller List and was a finalist for the Book Sense Book of the Year.
She went on to write four other books to complete a series with this bestseller. These books include: "Hope Springs," "Forever Friends," "Christmas Cake," and "Wedding Cake." She most recently wrote "Pie Town" winner of the NM Fiction Selection of the Year for Adventure and Drama, 2011 and the National Federation of Press Women's Fiction Book of the Year 2012, and "Welcome Back to Pie Town, " released July, 2012.
She is also the author of the stand alone books, "The Things I Know Best," "The Order of Things," "The Last Odd Day," and "The Arms of God." Hinton has also published a mystery series with St. Martin's Press, written under the name, Jackie Lynn. This series includes: "Down By the Riverside," "Jacob's Ladder," and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot."
For "Friendship Cake," Lynne received the following endorsement from Dr. Maya Angelou, "I would welcome a friendship with Lynne Hinton. I would welcome an invitation to sit down at her table, but mostly I would welcome her next book."
Lynne Hinton is a graduate of the University of NC at Greensboro and the Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, California. She lives in Albuquerque with her husband, Bob Branard.
Cost of the luncheon is $15 for members, $21 for nonmembers. For reservations, please call (505) 720-7821 or email firstname.lastname@example.com by Wednesday, Sept. 5.

With the current climate for qualifying to purchase a home quickly changing, there are some key elements to be aware of, not only in choosing the product/program that fits your needs the best, but also in finding the right lender that equally meets your expectations.
Make no mistake, there will be some stress accompanying this process, but managing that stress throughout and not letting it spiral out of control is the key. Enter the Loan Officer.
Where to start your search? Ask friends, family, colleagues, or Realtors preferred or favorite lenders are. Keep in mind that just because other people like them or feel they did a great job, it doesn't mean that they are the right fit for you and your family.
Interview your prospective loan officers. Find out how many years of experience each one has working with medical professionals. Make sure he offers the products you need. Make sure he can work around your unique schedule. Ask him how quickly they can process your loan and get it to closing. Finally, does he have testimonials you can read? A good to great Loan Officer will make your home buying experience one to remember for all the right reasons. A bad Loan Officer will make this a memorable one for all the wrong reasons, including possibly losing out on your home of your dreams.
Stage One: The Loan Application and Qualifying is a simple process. A loan application will be taken by your loan officer or their assistant either by telephone, online, or in person. Typical information needed would be your name, date of birth, Social Security number, two years of residence history, tax returns and W2s, pay stubs, K1s if you have any ownership of a business, (School transcripts in lieu of for medical students), and assets accounts that will be used to show funds sufficient to cover any down payment, as well as closing costs.
Stage Two: Once you have a ratified contract, the loan officer can lock in your interest rate, order your title and order your appraisal. The Loan Processor will contact you for any additional items (if needed) before forwarding your file to underwriting. The underwriter will validate the findings and all documentation received. They will review and sign off on the appraisal and any final conditions needed for final approval. Once that is done your processor will do a verification of employment along with a couple of standard checks and clear your loan to close. The closing department will clear the title and send the closing package to the settlement agent, and you are now ready for the final stage closing day.
Stage Three: Closing day. Your attorney or settlement company will provide a closer to go over your closing package and all the forms you are signing. Once you have gone over the package and are comfortable signing it, you are now a new home owner, congratulations.
Until next time, happy house hunting!
J. Mansisidor is a Senior Loan Officer with Fulton Mortgage Company, a division of Fulton Bank, NA. www.fultonmortgagecompany.com

Rangers explode with five-goal second period in win over Wolves
The Kitchener Rangers gave their fans an early Christmas present in their final home game before the holiday break on Friday night.
Kitchener (19-10-1-1) reignited its power play by going 3-for-5 en route to a convincing 8-3 win over the Sudbury Wolves (14-17-2-0) in front of 7,082 fans at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium.
The Rangers led 2-0 after one period of play and 2-1 shortly into the middle frame, but broke the game open with five unanswered goals in the second period. The five second period goals tied a season high by the club, which was previously set the last time the Rangers and Wolves met back on October 2nd in Sudbury.
The regular season series between the Eastern and Western Conference opponents is now complete, with the Rangers having outscored the Wolves 17-6 in the two games.
Luke Opilka (4-4-0-0) earned the win in goal for the Rangers, needing just 13 saves for the victory.
Zack Bowman (8-11-1-0) started for the Wolves, who arrived just 1h 06 prior to puck drop due to getting caught in traffic coming from Mississauga. Bowman surrendered seven goals on 34 shots through the first 40 minutes of play and took the loss. Jake McGrath stood in for the final frame and allowed one goal on eight shots.
Adam Mascherin led the way offensively for the Blueshirts, potting a five-point night with a pair of goals and three assists.
Joseph Garreffa was also highly effective for the home side, tallying two goals and adding an assist to help guide the Rangers to the win.
Jake Henderson, Darby Llewellyn, Dylan Seitz and Nick McHugh (SH) were the other goal scorers for the Rangers, who scored half of their eight goals on the night while on special teams. For McHugh, it was his eighth goal of the season – and fourth shorthanded.
The Rangers opened the scoring on the power play, as Seitz tallied his seventh of the season on a back door tip-in from Giovanni Vallati. Mascherin picked up the second assist on the goal at 8:53 of the first period to give Kitchener a 1-0 lead. Before the period was out Garreffa would make it 2-0, after commanding the play in the corner then wiring a shot top corner over the left shoulder of Bowman. Riley Damiani and Frank Hora earned the assists on the goal, which came at 14:55 and rounded out first period scoring.
Shots on goal in the first period of play were 20-3 in favour of the Rangers.
The Wolves got on the board shortly into the middle frame as David Levin made it 2-1, from Dmitry Sokolov and Liam Dunda, at 1:14.
McHugh would restore the Rangers two-goal lead at 8:21 with his fourth shorthanded goal of the season, unassisted.
It would begin a second period onslaught for Kitchener, who would follow up McHugh's tally with four more goals before the period was out.
Mascherin scored the Rangers second power play marker of the night at 11:28, from Dylan Di Perna and Garreffa, to make it 4-1, then just 15 seconds later it was 5-1 from the stick of Llewellyn. Mason Kohn, the game's Third Star, found Llewellyn wide open with a pretty pass in front of the crease. Mascherin picked up the second assist at 11:43.
At 15:19 it was 6-1 Rangers, as Garreffa scored his second of the game and the Rangers' third power play goal of the night, from Connor Bunnaman and Mascherin.
Period scoring was rounded out by Henderson's fourth of the season at 17:00. Doug Blaisdell picked up the lone helper in his return to the lineup after missing 15 games due to injury.
After 40 minutes of play, shots on goal were 34-6 Kitchener, including 14-3 in the second period.
Mascherin picked up his fifth point of the night with his second goal of the game, and 24th of the campaign, making it an 8-1 game at the 3:00 mark of the third from Kohn and Llewellyn.
The Wolves would add two more to the board before the game was out, as Sokolov made it 8-2 from Levin and Ryan Valentini at 18:47, then Owen Gilhula scored his second of the season to make it 8-3.

By Dom Serafini
NATPE organizers' biggest fear in moving to Miami was the risk that companies would be "bussing" international buyers out of the convention site (in this case the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach).
Since virtually all Latin American distribution companies that exhibit at NATPE have offices in Miami, it would be relatively easy for them to do exactly the same thing that studios do during the L.A. Screenings, when taking busloads of buyers to their lots.
The fear was unfounded since any respectable company will not risk being labeled the black sheep by NATPE and, as we all know and have seen, NATPE president, Rick Feldman, is not shy about pointing fingers.
What is going to happen, however, is that local companies will have buyers in their offices or in their executives' houses or restaurants, either on Sunday, January 23, 2011, before the market starts on the following day, or after the market ends. Some local exhibitors have even vowed not to return home at night and are renting hotel rooms instead to both avoid the usual horrendous Miami traffic and to be ready for NATPE's traditional early start-up hours (for this reason VideoAge will be delivered to all NATPE registrants in their hotel rooms starting at 5 a.m.).
Indeed, at least two of the 10 or so parties now being planned will begin on Sunday, including NATPE's own welcoming party at the adjacent Eden Roc Hotel.
This is so distribution companies can also take advantage of the fact that many Latin buyers have houses in and around Miami and therefore will be arriving earlier.
For this reason, VideoAge is coming out with its first Daily on Sunday, not only because it is practically a market day, albeit a non-official one, but also to allow smaller distribution companies an advantage in terms of attention. Sunday is also considered NATPE's "domestic" day, which will be reflected in the Daily's edition.
After the market starts on Monday, parties held outside the market venue will be relegated to the hours after the floor closes or, in the case of the opening night party, after the official bash ends.
Unique this year is the fact that some companies will be throwing parties even after the market closes on Wednesday, January 26 (including NATPE organizers) and that office meetings will continue until Friday, while Europeans and North Americans will most likely extend their Miami visit up until the weekend to take advantage of the resort's sub-tropical climate to relax.
This, in effect, will make NATPE a six-day market: A first in NATPE's 46-year history.

Summer Sakura (夏の桜, Natsu no sakura) is volume 2 of the Sket Dance manga.
Chapter 8
Misaki and Kōtarō (美咲と光太郎, Misaki to Kōtarō)
When Tetsu was young, his best friend was a terminally-ill girl named Misaki. One night, Tetsu took her to see the sakura trees, but Misaki tripped and fell into the river. Her condition worsened, and her father declared Tetsu a curse, never allowing him to visit again. A few months later, Misaki moved away, but Tetsu began to send her emails under the alias Sakurakōji Kōtarō. Now that Misaki has returned to her hometown, she wants to meet up her penpal, and so Bossun ends up posing as "Kōtarō" to meet her. At the end of their outing, Misaki then reveals that she will be leaving for America the next week for a life-or-death operation.
Chapter 9
Summer Sakura (夏の桜, Natsu no sakura)
Misaki leaves, giving Bossun a large sweater as a present. Tetsu becomes upset over the news of the operation, but refuses to follow Bossun's suggestion of seeing Misaki off and explaining that he was Kōtarō the whole time. After Tetsu leaves, the Sket Dan come to realize that Misaki knew who the real Kōtarō was all along. Later, as Misaki boards her train, the Sket Dan rush over to the train station with a bike and a cart. Tetsu shows up after all, wearing the sweater and shouting "Good luck!" to the departing train. Bossun then instructs Himeko to release a bag of cut-up paper cranes, which resemble sakura petals, into the wind.
Chapter 10
Student Council Executive (生徒会執行部, Seitokai shikkōbu)
Tsubaki barges into the Sket Dan clubroom and suspends the club for being useless and a pointless waste of time. Bossun insists that the Sket Dan is a viable club and the two get into a shouting match. When Yabasawa shows up with a request to perform a play for the local kindergarten, it ends up becoming a competition between the Sket Dan and Student Council. If the Sket Dan lose, however, they will be forcibly disbanded.
Chapter 11
An Awful Snow Princess (ヤバ雪姫, Yaba yukihime)
The Sket Dan, enlisting the help of Roman, Shinzō, Reiko, Momoka and her gang, decide to perform Snow White. Tsubaki, meanwhile, goes to the Theater Club president, Masaya, who promises to put on a great performance of Peter Pan in exchange for an increased club budget. Masaya spies on the Sket Dan and, concerned that their play might be better than his own, destroys their props and costumes two days before the performance.
Chapter 12
Tears Even in the Onihime's Eyes (鬼姫の目にも涙, Onihime no me ni mo namida)
The Sket Dan puzzles over what to do, as the only props they have left are the puppets of the Seven Dwarves. They end up performing a puppet show about a lonely demon named Momo-onihime who is unable to make friends and ends up hurting people. She then meets the Stupid-onihime and after a fight, the two become friends and Momo begins to cry. The story turns out to be an allegory for Momoka and Himeko's relationship. The audience is left in tears, and Agata admits that they are beaten. Tsubaki ends up calling off the competition and abandons his plan to dissolve the Sket Dan.
Chapter 13
Finding Pelorin (ファンディング・ペロリン, Fuandeingu perorin)
There's a contest going on where certain Pelollipop Candy wrappers have a ticket to win a Pelorin doll, which Himeko is determined to get. Chiaki comes to the Sket Dan's clubroom, asking them to help her find her winning Pelollipop wrapper - as the Pelorin doll is for her brother, due to the likeness it bears to a picture of their deceased mother.
Chapter 14
Little Boss Has a Temper (リトルボスはご機嫌ななめ, Ritoru bosu wa gokiken naname)
Bossun finds a bottle of Coke on Switch's desk and drinks it. However, the Coke turns out to be Chū-san's prototype of a hair-regrowth/youth potion. Bossun shrinks to the size of a child, though his mental capacity remains the same. Switch and Himeko borrow clothes from a nearby kindergarten and then take Bossun out "for a walk" to show him off, much to Bossun's annoyance. Later, when Chū-san returns with the antidote potion, Himeko is dismayed but Bossun couldn't be more relieved.
Chapter 15
You Mustn't Watch It (見てはいけない, Mite wa ikenai)
Switch tells the Sket Dan of a rumor going around about a cursed DVD. Ayumi comes in to request that the Sket Dan help her cheer up Yagi. Their efforts are unsuccessful and, when Yagi is on her way out, she bumps into Switch and spills the contents of her bag. She quickly snatches up the DVD that fell and leaves, telling the Sket Dan that it should never be watched. Switch then realizes that the DVD Yagi took was their self-created film drama while the one he is holding is the "cursed" one.
Chapter 16
You Watched It, Didn't You (見たのね, Mita no ne)
The Sket Dan, Ayumi, and Yoshimura gather to watch the video. What scrolls across the screen is a series of math questions, which Yoshimura quickly exclaims are from the upcoming midterms - leading to the group suspecting Yagi of cheating, and Switch reveals that she is rumored to have cheated in her freshman year as well. Later, the Sket Dan learn that Yagi had found the DVD by accident and received a threatening note telling her that even if she told the truth, no one would believe her. They promise to catch the culprit in exchange for seeing Yagi smile.
Chapter 17
Don't Watch It (見るんじゃない, Mirun jyanai)
The Sket Dan, Yagi, and Ayumi meet in the media room. Bossun proposes that Yoshimura was intending to sell the DVD to other students, but accidentally left it in the media room, where Yagi found it. He then had to use Yagi's weakness in the note to make sure that she would not show the DVD to anyone else. Yoshimura eventually confesses after his face appears on the DVD, but tells the group that the administration would never believe them. However, it turns out that Switch had been recording and broadcasting their entire conversation to the school over the PA system.

That's odd. I was able to create a brand new form a few days and it had the option available. A couple of days later, and the option was gone when creating an other new form. This is in late Sept 2017 !?
However, if I clone a form which has the 'feature' to create a new form, the feature remains available in cloned copy. Using anything more than 2 columns messes things, so I leave to 2 columns and do some CSS to tweak...
The catch is this : without the checkbox to turn on the feature, the form is not as responsive as it used to be ...
The question : what's up with the different behavior ?
To help with 'responsive' forms, it would be nice if the size (width, height, etc.) attributes would accept "%". It still looks only for "px". ;(
This is a re-post of a comment on Deprecated: How to Make the Form Responsive Using the Form Designer Tool
- Nik_CAnswered on October 02, 2017 at 04:57 AM
The feature you're referring to is deprecated since the forms are responsive by default.
What you could check is our Mobile responsive widget: https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/mobile_responsive
Also, if you have any problems with responsiveness, it could most probably be related to the embedding method.
So if you're still experiencing any issues please share the website URL where the form is embedded.
We'll be happy to check.
Thank you!
