Traveling to Guam:
A Perfect Family Vacation Destination
There are a so many wonderful things to do on the South Pacific, Island Paradise, of Guam, U.S.A. Here are a few of the best options for Adventurers and Adventurous Families, alike.
A Cultural Experience with an Adventure Riverboat Cruise
The Valley of the Latte delivers a unique and once in a lifetime experience. As you travel along the Talofofo and Ugum Rivers, you will be transported to another time at the heart of Guam. Knowledgeable, friendly, and entertaining guides will share the rich history and culture of the Ancient Latte site, the local waters, the local wildlife, and ensure that you are smiling from start to finish. You will be welcomed by our living village, and guided through a breathtaking botanical garden and watch as canoes are hand crafted by Ulitao. The experience only gets better as our guides demonstrate how ancient Chamorros started their fires and show you traditional basket weaving techniques. The longer you are here, the more you realize, that this is the best way to experience Guam.
If the comfort of the river boat cruise is a little too pedestrian, then pick up your paddles and race Kayaks or Stand Up Paddle Boards and find new levels of adventure.
This Cultural Experience includes the Adventure Riverboat Cruise
and so much more...
While enjoying your refreshing beverages under the tropical sun, learning how to start a fire as the ancient Chamorro people did, or enjoying the basket weaving exhibitions, you can take a quick adventure atop our friendly Karabao.
Ulitao is a passionate group of Guam islanders working to revive, preserve, and grow the Chamorro's ancient seafaring traditions. They skillfully craft every canoe using local resources and traditional techniques. Their home at the Valley of the Latte will provide a deeply felt experience of the living history of our island.
Valley of the Latte runs along the Talofofo and Ugum rivers and is enveloped in the indescribable beauty of the island. The ocean to the east, high cliff side paths, the open plantation, and hundreds of hidden spots around the land of Ancient Chamorros provide an impressive and often times breathtaking set of trails. At the heart of this beauty is a living village representing the daily lives of the people for over 4,500 years. A Botanical Garden also showcases the vegetation and fresh water spring that allowed the people to live off of the land.
Valley of the Latte prides itself in giving back to community and preserving not only the culture of Guam, but also the physical environment. Besides the work being done to create a sustainable source of organic produce at the Valley of the Latte 's Plantation, we are currently building the Animal Sanctuary. The Sanctuary not only provides a safe haven for local wildlife to prosper, it provides a great interface for all ages to be educated about the regional life and how best to co-exist.
Valley of the Latte provides an authentic experience of Guam's culture, way of life, and living history. A part of the preservation, celebration, and exhibition of all that Guam has to offer is the daily Fire Starting & Basket Weaving Demonstrations. You will be able to walk through a living village and experience how ancient Chamorros built their homes, started fires, weaved baskets and tools, and lived off the land.
Valley of the Latte Adventure Fishing is a great way for families and travelers of all ages to create life long memories at the catch-and-release sustainable fisheries. Catch your first fish with bamboo poles and lines after learning how to bait your hooks. After an hour of fun, kids will be allowed to visit mini animal farm/petting zoo and be educated on the story of each animal.
Guam's City Sightseeing Tour
Tour starts and returns to the DFS Galleria in the Heart of Guam's Pleasure Island.
- Great for Shopping, delicious Food, and white sandy Beaches.
- First Stop: The Paseo De Susana Park
- Paseo de Susana is a peninsula that forms part of the capital city of Agana, Guam. It was built in the 1940s from rubble and debris left behind after World War II. The peninsula contains Guam's main sports stadium, markets, and Chief Quipuha Park.
- Second Stop: The Pacific War Museum
- The Pacific War Museum is on Guam. It contains exhibits related to the military in the Pacific theater of World War II with a focus on the U.S. Marines.[1] Marine Corps Vietnam War veteran John Gerber established the museum. In 2011, the museum won the prestigious Colonel John H. Magruder Award from the Marine Corps Historical Foundation.
- Third Stop: Fort Apugan:
The view of Agana and Agana Bay is worth a visit to this 1800 fort, which was once used to defend anchored trading vessels from pirate raids.
- Fourth Stop: Latte Stone Park:
- Latte stones, the limestone pillars used by the Chamorro people as foundations for their homes as far back as 500 A.D., are displayed at this park.
- Fifth Stop: Plaza De Espana & the Agana Cathedral:
- The Plaza de España, located in central Hagåtña, the capital of the United States territory of Guam, was the location of the Governors Palace during the island's long period of Spanish occupation. Most of the palace was destroyed during the shelling of Hagåtña during the reconquest of Guam in World War II. There are three structures still standing including the three-arch gate to Almacen (Arsenal), the azotea or back porch, and the Chocolate House. The plaza was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
- Dating back to the 17th century, this church was once led by the first missionary in Guam, Father San Vitores, and was completely restored to its current splendor following its destruction in World War II.
- Sixth Stop: Two Lovers Point:
- Puntan Dos Amantes is Guam's most famous visitor attraction. It is frequented by more people than any other attraction on Guam. Its profile at the northern end of Tumon Bay rises 368 feet from the reef below, offering views of both the eastern and western sides of the island. Its position provides those that venture to the site a unique view of the mountainous volcanic geography of the south and the level limestone plateau of northern Guam.

Just like you would approach writing a research paper in any other subject, you want to first make sure your medical research paper uses lots of academic and reliable sources, is written in organized and clear style and has an argument that is supported with great evidence. Really the only major difference with a medical research paper is the need to cite your sources using AMA format style (American Medical Association). Here are the standards for formatting a medical research paper correctly:

3 Ways an ERP Can Benefit Your Business
4/2/2018 (Permalink)
According to FEMA, around 40 - 60% of small businesses never reopen their doors after facing a disaster. Even knowing that, most small businesses haven't put in the time to create an emergency response plan so that they can minimize the impact of a disaster. SERVPRO will create a free Emergency Ready Profile for any business that wants one, but do you know how it can benefit your business?
- You'll know where to find the utility shutoffs. Depending on the size and nature of a disaster, it might be imperative that somebody immediately shuts off the gas, water, and/or electricity. Even if you personally know where the shutoffs are located, if you aren't around at the time of a disaster, the role would fall on an available employee. SERVPRO's Emergency Ready Profile marks all of the shutoff locations (and shows pictures), so your team can quickly do what's needed.
- You'll have an immediate plan of action. The longer your business is inactive, the less likely you'll recover. With our Emergency Ready Profile, you'll not only have a guide for you and your employees, but you'll also have instant access to your local SERVPRO professionals. The faster we're there to clean up the damage, the quicker you're able to reopen your doors.
- You'll have an incredible asset at no cost. In most cases, you would have to dedicate precious time and resources to create a quality emergency readiness plan, which is often a reason they're never made. But SERVPRO's franchises have the tools and skills to assemble an Emergency Ready Profile in a short amount of time. The only thing they need from you is a few minutes to go over some basic questions to get them started. If you're wondering what the catch is, it's just that if you ever do have a disaster, SERVPRO hopes you'll call them for help!
If you've never thought about creating an emergency plan for your business, it's time to start considering it. Because disaster rarely offers a warning, you don't want to be caught off-guard when it strikes. Call SERVPRO of Burke County today and get your own personalized Emergency Ready Profile.

Baintech PowerTop
110Ah Baintech PowerTop
Download the 110Ah GEL User Manual
You have to charge the Power Top through an external charger through the Grey Anderson plug. The CTEK MXS15 (CT15000/12) is the recommended charger for the Power Top.
The PowerTop is not designed to jump-start a car. The unit has a 50amp current limit inside which is not enough to jump-start a vehicle.
This is not recommended as the PowerTop start-up charger may blow the fuse in the ciga-socket. However, some vehicles have ciga plugs rated up to 15amp, if they are rated this high it can be charged with it.
All diagrams to do with the Anderson plugs can be found in the user manual in the charging section. It will show the application of each Anderson plug.
Yes, the internal solar regulator is using a voltage control relay system.
Solar panel unregulated = Red
Solar panel regulated = Grey
This is standard operation on the 2nd and 3rd model. The lights are regulated by voltage which toggles towards the end of the charge cycle. The toggling happens when the battery is almost fully charged.
No, using the sockets at the front while charging through the 240v socket will result in the battery not charging, and draining through use. However, one can do so if you use an external charger (around 15amps) plugged into the Grey Anderson socket, or a larger solar panel (at least 150 watts or bigger) plugged into the Red Anderson socket. Either will supply enough current to sustain battery charging while using appliances.
The electronics in the blue socket are different and the CTEK 250SA needs to connect straight across the internal battery which is accessed through the Grey socket.
You can't other than keeping the battery charged up. The alarm goes off at 12.0 volts or less. Ideally you should not drain the battery below 12.4 volts DC to get the best life from it.
Temps up to 50° C however this is not recommended for long periods of time. This also applies to freezing temperatures.
14.2 volts is usually the maximum voltage your PowerTop will reach.
No but it does have a High and Low Voltage Alarm. It will start at 12 volts.
Yes, contact Bainbridge when a replacement is required : 1300 224 683
No, the PowerTop is designed to be a self-contained unit, removing any screws voids the warranty of the unit.
Battery Voltage Table
Keeping Your Battery Healthy
To maintain healthy batteries, you must be able to replace the power you've drawn. Starting with fully-charged batteries after your drive to camp is best, and being conscious of your power draw throughout the day is essential to avoid killing your batteries. It's important to remember that although your battery may be rated at 100amphour, exceeding a depth-of-discharge beyond 50% won't do it any good. For a 100 amp-hour battery, you should base your amp draw calculations off a 50 amp-hour of useable capacity. If you have a 200 amp-hour battery, then the 50% D.o.D is 100 amp-hour of useable capacity. 50 amp-hours of usable capacity would mean that you could discharge 1 amp of current for 50 hours, or 10 amps for 5 hours, 6 amps for 8.3 hours – all depending on the amp draw of your accessories.
Optional Accessories
150 Watt Inverter - plug into the PowerTop Ciga socket for AC power.
The BAINTECH 150W Power Inverter gives you access to AC power wherever you need it. The modified sinewave inverter converts Direct Current (DC) electricity from a battery to Alternating Current (AC) electricity which is the standard utility power you find at home. Your BAINTECH 150W Power Inverter can be used with accessories such as smart phones, laptops, camera chargers, toy and drone chargers, shavers, small power tools and more. It also has three fast charging USB ports delivering 5V, up to 5.0A current to small phones and iPads.
Baintuff 180 Watt Solar Blanket
Go off-grid with the Baintech 180w Monocrystalline Sunpower Solar Blanket. Designed to charge your PowerTop, this lightweight and compact blanket will produce up to 10A in optimal conditions. Plug straight into your PowerTop for an off-grid, portable, solution!
DC Anderson Plug Splitter Cable
Using the Baintech parallel cable with the Baintech PowerTop allows you to utilise power in and power out via the PowerTop's grey Anderson output. For example: connect your fridge and regulated solar via the PowerTop's grey Anderson socket or charge your Baintech PowerTop via Dc-Dc charging and run your fridge while on the move.

Geography is central to the work of the Department of City Planning. While planning involves the development of citywide policies and strategies to promote a resilient, equitable and livable New York City with economic and housing opportunities for all, these policies and strategies come to life in specific places, each with a unique collection of geographic and demographic characteristics.
The Department of City Planning website is full of maps. Visit the Plans and Studies section for maps related to ongoing or recent projects. Visit the Zoning Maps section for historical, current and proposed zoning maps. The Community Portal contains links to map resources for each of the 59 community districts. The NYC Population section contains a wealth of historical and current demographic, socioeconomic and housing maps. And for those who want to make their own maps, download our geographic data files in our Open Data/BYTES of the BIG APPLE™ section.

If Candlemas [February 2] be mild and gay,
Go saddle your horses and buy them hay;
But if Candlemas be stormy and black,
It carries the winter away on its back.
In this issue, you'll find information on these topics:
o Glogg
o Winter Chicken-Mushroom Soup
Test buds of peaches and other sensitive fruits for freeze damage. Bring in a few twigs cut from the trees and place them in a vase of water. If the twigs bloom in a week or two, expect blossoms in the spring and a crop next summer and fall.
Cut poles for peas, beans, and other climbers now. Peel off the bark and set them in a dry area until they are needed.
Keep this in mind while pruning: Fruit usually grows on the horizontal branches, rather than the vertical ones. Vertical branches may be trained to become horizontal by weighting them down for a few weeks.

It's true: Hot chicken soup and lots of garlic help to reduce cold symptoms. Modern science now backs that up. Try Granny's Best Chicken Soup from our archives.
And some studies suggest that virtually any way to inhale steam is beneficial. So, savoring a steaming cup of herbal tea may be a good idea.
Other home remedies said to prevent colds in the first place are: garlic, onions, thyme, sage, and vitamin C, used regularly. Or, if you dare, a daily sandwich of whole wheat bread, raw yellow onion, a half-inch of horseradish, slice of meat, cheddar cheese, and brown mustard. According to old-timers, this really works!

February 2 — Groundhog Day/Candlemas
On February 2, some people think only of those critters that look for their shadows: Punxsutawney Phil in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and Wiarton Willie in Wiarton, Ontario. In fact, there is a bit more to the day than that.
February 2 is also Candlemas Day. In the Christian tradition, it is the day that a year's supply of candles is blessed.
February 2 is 40 days after Christmas and is known as the Feast of the Purification among Christians. "Februa" was the month for cleansing, when Yule greens were removed from homes and churches, and old brush and debris were burned to prepare the fields for the next sowing. February 2 is exactly halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. Oh, about those groundhogs: If they see their shadows, expect six more weeks of winter.
February 5 — Mardi Gras/Shrove Tuesday
Mardi Gras is French for "fat Tuesday"—the final feasting before the fasting of Lent, which begins tomorrow, Ash Wednesday. Fat Tuesday is also called Shrove Tuesday, a name that comes from the practice of shriving–purifying oneself through confession—prior to Lent.
So much sun as shines on Shrove Tuesday, so it shines all Lent.
February 7 — Chinese New Year
It's the year of the rat! The Chinese zodiac follows a 12-year cycle and the animal designations are always used in the same sequence.
A Winter Warm-up in a Glass
Looking for something special to serve friends who just drop in? Try this fruity glogg, a traditional Scandinavian drink, prepared here without alcohol.
Real Hot Chocolate
Make a cup of hot chocolate from scratch, and you will never want to go back to the prepackaged stuff.
Fruit Root Soup
A delicious hot soup for a cold day. Uses root vegetables in season and a pear.
Winter Chicken-Mushroom Soup
Chicken stock with many healthy vegetables. Serve hot with a slice of crusty bread.

The regeneration of the Ocean Estate, Tower Hamlets has seen the delivery of 819 residential units and 1,300 sqm of commercial and community uses across five separate sites.
Not only are vital new homes provided, but the regeneration has been focused on providing residents with employment, training and volunteering opportunities for a long-term future.
Cross-funding from the scheme has also allowed for improvement works across the wider estate and in total 1,200 social-rented homes will be refurbished and big improvements to the landscape and community facilities made.
Outline and full planning permissions were secured in March 2010 and Reserved Matters approval for three of the sites was achieved in December 2010. We were also instructed by East Homes to take forward Phase 2 of the Ocean Estate and secured planning permission for a further 250 units in 2014. The scheme provides new homes that meet the needs of the existing local community and cross subsidy for environmental improvement works to the remainder of the estate.

Post courtesy of AmazinglyBrash
Post courtesy of AmazinglyBrash
Every day, we are faced with a decision: Will we respond to life's circumstances according to God's Word or will we react emotionally? The initial temptation is to react emotionally, but in every circumstance, it's truly your decision.
Let's examine three circumstances you're going to have to face at some point in your life. I've also included some questions to ask yourself, which I encourage you to answer honestly. They will give you a good idea of how big a part your feelings play in these circumstances.
Everything changes except God, and letting all the changes in our lives upset us won't keep them from occurring. People change, circumstances change, our bodies change, our desires and passions change.
Most changes take place without our permission. But we can choose to adapt. Adapting doesn't change the circumstances, but it does keep you living in peace and joy as you go through change.
Our thoughts are the first thing we need to deal with during change because thoughts directly affect emotions. When circumstances change, make the transition mentally, and your emotions will be a lot easier to manage. If something changes that you are not ready for and did not choose, you will more than likely have a variety of emotions about it.
By acting on God's Word and not merely reacting to the situation, you'll be able to manage your emotions instead of allowing them to manage you. I strongly recommend confessing the Word of God out loud. Even though what you confess may be the opposite of how you feel, keep doing it. God's Word has inherent power to change our feelings, bring comfort to us, and quiet our distraught emotions.
If you have not developed patience, then having to wait may bring out the worst in you. At least that was the case with me until I finally realized my emotional reactions were not making things go any faster.
We would all like to be patient, but we don't want to develop patience because that means behaving well while we are not getting what we want. And that's hard!
The more we want something, the more our emotions will act up if we do not get it. Common sense tells us it is rather foolish to get into a rage over a parking space or other simple things people tend to get upset about. As you develop patience, don't merely think about how hard and frustrating it is, think about how peaceful you will be when waiting never bothers you (see James 1:4).
No one likes being around difficult people. I think there are a lot of people in the world like that today, largely because of the stressful lives most of them have. People are trying to do too much in too little time and have more responsibility than they can realistically handle.
When someone is rude to me, I can feel my emotions rise up and then move out, wanting me to follow them. That's when I know I need to take action. I have to remember that the person being rude probably has a lot of problems. She may not even realize how she sounds.
I certainly remember lots of times in my life when people asked me why I was being so harsh. I didn't realize that I was. I just had a lot going on and felt pressured, so the pressure came through in harsh voice tones. That didn't excuse my bad behavior, but it was the root of the problem.
I am very thankful I know the Word of God and have Him in my life to help and comfort me. But a lot of difficult people don't have that. I have had to work very hard with the Holy Spirit for the ability to act on God's Word when people are rude…instead of merely reacting with a behavior that matches or tops theirs.
Jesus teaches us how to respond to those who treat us well and those who do not (see Luke 6:32–35).
If you are in a situation that requires you to be with one of these hard-to-get-along-with people every day, I urge you to pray for them instead of reacting emotionally to them. Our prayers open a door for God to work through.
Feelings will come and go. We can't escape them, but we can choose to live by God's Word and not our feelings. Even when it doesn't feel right, we can live with an incredible peace and joy. I encourage you to go through the questions again and search God's Word in every circumstance you face. He will help you live beyond your feelings!

Having a bad day? Bornattwentyfive shares with us some ideas for relieving some stress in life.
You ever have one of those days where it seems like everything that could go wrong has? That was my day last Thursday. I realized one of the jobs I recently started, I absolutely hate. I broke my Iphone and then my laptop started acting up. I was so frustrated I wanted to scream. Finally when I was at the end of my rope, I remembered my favorite quote "This too shall pass" and I started to feel a little better. I thought I'd share with you today, these 5 Tips to Relieve Stress:
1. Put Down Your Cellphone and Put Your Computer Away- This one is tough to do, but I guarantee if you put your cellphone down, and turn your computer off for a half an hour, you will feel a burden lifted.
2. Take a Break from Someone Who Stresses You Out– We all have that one friend/cousin/sibling who always has some drama going on. It's all well and good to be supportive, but it's hard to deal with someone else's stress if you are struggling with your own. Tell that person that you've got a lot you're dealing with at the moment and that you'll call them the moment things are in order.
3. Be Thankful– Even in the hardest of times, try and remember things that you are thankful for. A therapist friend says that keeping a thanks journal and writing down three things a day you are thankful for makes most people feel less depressed. It helps them to see what they still have that is good in their lives.
4. Get Some Sleep– It's hard to not feel stressed when you are not getting enough sleep. Very few things feel as nice as waking up well rested.
5. Have a Laugh– We've all heard the quote "Laughter is the Best Medicine". Nothing puts me in a better mood than watching a comedy. So next time you're down, turn on Comedy Central, or call that girlfriend who always has you laughing. Laughter will definitely lift your spirits.
Hopefully this post will encourage you to smile the next time you're feeling stressed out.
Effective Immediately, please be aware that there are changes YOU need to make in YOUR life. These changes need to be completed in order that I may fulfill My promises to you to grant you peace, joy and happiness in this life. I apologize for any inconvenience, but after all that I am doing, this seems very little to ask of you. Please, follow these 10 guidelines:
Life has dealt you a blow and all you do is sit and worry. Have you forgotten that I am here to take all your burdens and carry them for you? Or do you just enjoy fretting over every little thing that comes your way?
Something needs done or taken care of. Put it on the list. No, not YOUR list. Put it on MY to-do-list. Let ME be the one to take care of the problem. I can't help you until you turn it over to Me. And although My to-do-list is long, I am after all… God. I can take care of anything you put into My hands. In fact, if the truth were ever really known, I take care of a lot of things for you that you never even realize.
Once you've given your burdens to Me, quit trying to take them back. Trust in Me. Have the faith that I will take care of all your needs, your problems and your trials. Problems with the kids? Put them on My list. Problem with finances? Put it on My list. Problems with your emotional roller coaster For My sake, put it on My list. I want to help you. All you have to do is ask.
Don't wake up one morning and say, "Well, I'm feeling much stronger now, I think I can handle it from here." Why do you think you are feeling stronger now? It's simple. You gave Me your burdens and I'm taking care of them. I also renew your strength and cover you in my peace. Don't you know that if I give you these problems back, you will be right back where you started? Leave them with Me and forget about them. Just let Me do my job.
I want you to forget a lot of things. Forget what was making you crazy. Forget the worry and the fretting because you know I'm in control. But there's one thing I pray you never forget. Please, don't forget to talk to Me – OFTEN! I love YOU! I want to hear your voice. I want you to include Me in on the things going on in your life. I want to hear you talk about your friends and family. Prayer is simply you having a conversation with Me. I want to be your dearest friend.
I see a lot of things from up here that you can't see from where you are. Have faith in Me that I know what I'm doing. Trust Me; you wouldn't want the view from My eyes. I will continue to care for you, watch over you, and meet your needs. You only have to trust Me. Although I have a much bigger task than you, it seems as if you have so much trouble just doing your simple part – How hard can trust be?
You were taught to share when you were only two years old. When did you forget? That rule still applies. Share with those who are less fortunate than you. Share your joy with those who need encouragement. Share your laughter with those who haven't heard any in such a long time. Share your tears with those who have forgotten how to cry. Share your faith with those who have none.
I managed to fix it so in just one lifetime you could have so many diverse experiences. You grow from a child to an adult, have children, change jobs many times, learn many trades, travel to so many places, meet thousands of people, and experience so much. How can you be so impatient then when it takes Me a little longer than you expect to handle something on My to-do-list? Trust in My timing, for My timing is perfect. Just because I created the entire universe in only six days, everyone thinks I should always rush, rush, rush.
Be kind to others, for I love them just as much as I love you. They may not dress like you, or talk like you, or live the same way you do, but I still love you all. Please try to get along, for My sake. I created each of you different in some way. It would be too boring if you were all identical. Please, know I love each of your differences.
As much as I love you, how can you not love yourself? You were created by me for one reason only — to be loved, and to love in return. I am a God of Love. Love Me. Love your neighbors. But also love yourself. It makes My heart ache when I see you so angry with yourself when things go wrong. You are very precious to me. Don't ever forget…..

One day the wife a friend of mine called to tell me that she was on the way to the hospital because my friend had collapsed at work.
Earlier that day just before leaving for work he poured a bowl of cereal and went to the refrigerator for milk there was none. He decides well it's not that serious I'll just add water. He takes a couple of bites and sits the bowl on the counter. After running back upstairs to grab his tie and briefcase he charges out the door. He's halfway out of the driveway before he realizes that he'd forgotten his cereal. He pulls back into the garage, runs inside and grabs hs cup only to discover that a family of ants had beaten him to it. "Argh!!!" he exclaims. He slams the ingredients from the cup into the garbage disposal and flips the switch… it doesn't work. "Oh my god!!!"
He immediately calls his wife to ask whether she knew of this mechanical failure and she replies, "Yes."
"Well, why didn't you tell me about it?!" he yells.
"I didn't think it was that serious, I was going to tell you today."
"You didn't think it was that serious?! See, that's what I'm talking about, you never take anything 'that' seriously. You should have told me last night, I would've had someone out here to fix it!
"Look, what is your problem? You never call me at work and when you do, this is what you call about? I'm at work, I don't have time for this. Bye! -click
This of course sends him into a complete tizzy. He jumps back into the car and heads off to work fuming. Traffic is horrible and the cereal episode only made arriving to work on time even more difficult. Once there he receives a phone call explaining that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer and they needed him to come down to see her. Well, that was the straw that broke the camel's back. All of this was too much to handle and his mind/body broke down. After receiving various sedatives and being monitored for a few hours he was released and told to take it easy for a few days and he's now doing a lot better. (true story.)
Now, my purpose for calling this one how to commit suicide is to bring attention to how we get to that point in the first place. The trojan horse called stress is to blame in this case but the funny thing is, it only has as much power as YOU give to it. Whether voluntary or involuntarily, your body will find a way to escape too much stress. People that go through with the thought of committing this self-destruction typically do so because the 'stress' of life becomes too much to bear. It's actually more common than you think for people to have such thoughts but luckily not everyone continues down that path.
If you think about it, that's what we spend the majority of our time doing…trying to avoid stress. That's what our heavens or after life promises are…no dying – stress, no sickness – stress, no disagreements – stress, and so on. It even says on the tomb stones… rest in peace.
Well I'd like to 'suggest' to you that you don't have to wait until death to experience peace. If you'd like to have less stress in your life…wait for it….let it go! Yeah, it's that simple. Stress is an unwelcome visitor in your home (body)…kick him out! (ha) Seriously though, you only have what you're holding on to…aren't there more pleasant things in life that to hold than self-destruction?

Dear God,
I don't know how to address you, especially after all this time. I can't imagine you this bearded old man (or woman) in the sky. I can't imagine you perched in pages of someone's testament. I can't imagine you in a deep and unfamiliar voice that boldly sprouts from nowhere. So I write to you instead. My mother used to write you. She never knew this but as a child, I used to read her letters to you in her Bible. I know that was a violation of privacy but I've always been in love with words penned on pages. They tend to be more candid—or at least in our case. Her letters were uplifting and full of wonder; other broke my heart. Her faith quivered but I could tell that it was still there. I probably also thought that I could understand you more through her.
My parents always spoke of religion and you interchangeably but I could never fully embrace it. There seemed to be so many holes in religion and I feared coming off as the spawn of the devil if I dared to ask. A part of resented them for making me believe in notions that I did not seem to cling to. They seem so stifling and I imagined you as free and uninhibited as my thoughts. I've seen you in contagious laughs and spellbinding smiles of children, in kind eyes, in good thoughts and deeds, in poetry, in music, in art, in tears, in happiness, in every "I love you", in every changing season—somewhere in the stillness swirling furiously and touching everything and everyone that crossed your path.
I guess you've noticed that we haven't talked much in a while. I think I brushed off nearly all of your presence after you did not come when I needed you the most—as I was being raped. I began to see you differently. But I did talk to you sporadically—mostly as a promiscuous teen begging not to become pregnant. I promised that I would change my ways if you just granted this one prayer. That one prayer morphed into several more. It was our recurring storyline. I eventually realized that perhaps this wasn't the type of prayer that you really wanted to hear. I mainly saw you as the modern day Plan B pill. I did not take you seriously. I saw you as a convenience and wondered if I somehow became a nuisance—an ungrateful child tugging on you.
When my sanity fluctuated, I asked you why I was born. I never hesitated to let you know how much I hated fragments of myself and life. After a couple of half-hearted suicide attempts as a teen, I contemplated a nonexistence throughout my entire adulthood. My guilt, self-destructive behaviors, and the lack of courage were the driving forces that kept me here (or so I thought). I wanted to prove to you that you weren't as awesome as others pegged you out to be. I decided to disregard you. I rarely thanked you. I infrequently acknowledged you. I silently mocked those who were delirious in their love for you. You were that elephant in the room that I made sure I always tiptoed around in the dark to avoid. They say elephants never forget; neither did I no matter how hard I tried.
I was humiliated. I knew if I faced you, I would reek of disappointment. Disappointment would ooze from my pores and flood my entire being. I could picture the literal disgust on your figurative face. I could imagine you holding your nose and avoiding all eye contact. I had to spare myself from further embarrassment. I'm so filthy and can't possibly see myself in you. Sure, I have some noble qualities but not too much of me is pure—especially my intentions. I am always faltering. I can't even trust myself sometimes. You've tried to reach me through others. I've watched their lips move but wasn't open to the vessel of truths that cascaded from them. You felt inaccessible to me. It's like you're in the VIP section and I'm on the outside watching you fulfill others because I was not properly dressed to grace your presence. It's like you're flying first class and I achingly peer through the curtains to see others licking their lips from the champagne of your being. I feel as though I cannot afford you. I feel spiritually bankrupted. I feel snubbed. Maybe I'm the one who has been snubbing you this entire time and for that I am sorry.
I am finding my way back to you. I've been away for far too long. Please forgive me for resenting you all these years. Please help me to forgive myself. Help me heal so I can forgive others. Help my find purpose. Help me to love myself. Help me to live my life without fear because I feel so consumed by it. Help me see the splendor of life. Save me from my destructive behaviors and thoughts. Lift me up because I'm tired of falling apart at the seams. I'm tired of doing this without you. I've treated you and myself with reckless abandon. I need help to make it up to the both of us. Thank you for the things that you've already done for me that I have so blatantly ignored. I will be more appreciative and receptive towards you.
With Love,
Just a simple little reminder to let go and let God unfold your life.
Heavenly Father, thank You for peace today. I receive it as a comforting blanket to my heart, my mind and my emotions. I choose to focus on Your Word today. Direct my steps and guard me by Your peace. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Facebook has always been ahead of the game with encouraging interaction between companies, events, and people with similar interests. And now, they've made another huge step forward. Starting this month, Facebook will now offer collaborative stories. What this means is anyone in a group or attending and/or interested in an event will now be able to contribute and see real-time pictures and videos shared by participants and companies involved.
"Users of Facebook Groups and Events now have the ability to contribute to a Facebook Story visible to the rest of the members and moderated by the admins. We wanted to give multiple people the opportunity to tell a "story" from multiple different angles." – Connor Hayes (Source: TechCrunch)
Facebook accomplished this by merging their Messenger Day with Facebook Stories features. They released it as one combined feature called "Stories". With this new feature, all of the photos or videos you add to your Stories will appear on both Facebook and Messenger. Which will eliminate the need to cross-post in both applications.
Pretty cool, right?!
Now, you're probably wondering; how does this benefit me as an advertiser? Well, several ways actually. Some of the perks of this new feature have the potential to be a game changer for advertisers. And, we couldn't be happier with how things are starting to shape up.
The first perk, and probably the most important one, is the ability to re-engage your group and event attendees. We all know how overwhelming it can be to keep up with what's happening in our News Feed these days. Well, now with the new stories feature you can keep your group and event top of mind for your followers by frequently adding stories.
How, you might ask? Well, with the new stories feature whenever a new "story" is added to the group or event, it will appear at the top of user's newsfeed letting them know that you have added a new content! So, anyone who is in your group said they're interested in your event, or someone who simply likes your event will see this new story front and center.
The new stories posts will fall under the same rules set by the admins for the standard posts in a group or event. This gives administrators the ability to curate the content ensuring the message in the story is consistent with their brand. If you think about it, by having multiple people create content for your brand, you will not be able to attack from all angles. And, really start to gain a better understanding of what types of content your audience will engage with. And, this also opens up the Influencer game quite a bit. Really, the various ways you can leverage this feature are only limited by your imagination and we cannot wait to see what people come up with.
One thing is for sure, by the company implementing these new changes and making the stories feature more robust. They're positioning themselves to directly compete with SnapChat and possibly even overtake them in the battle of the "Stories" features. The bottom line is Facebook's version of this feature will have options that are simply not available on SnapChat's platform. Which should give them a slight edge over their competition.
Facebook has stated repeatedly that they're going all in on video displayed on the platform. By integrating the "Stories" feature across the board, they're now helping us tap into other users who have similar interests, hobbies, & professions in a very organic way.
Well, that is all for now folks. We would love to hear from you on how you might use this feature to increase engagement with your group or brand. Please let us know in the comments below!
Happy Hunting!

Launch of Open Topographical Data Viewer: Geological Survey Ireland, National Monument Service, National Parks and Wildlife Service and Discovery Programme
24th April 2018
Geological Survey Ireland, a division of the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment, has built Ireland's first Open Topographic Data Viewer. The viewer will be launched by Seán Kyne, Minister for Natural Resources, on the 24th April at the annual meeting of the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH) being held in Tullamore, Co. Offaly.
The Open Topographic Data Viewer project is a collaboration between Geological Survey Ireland (GSI), the Department of Culture, Heritage and Gaeltacht's National Monuments Service (NMS) and National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and The Discovery Programme: Centre for Archaeology and Innovation Ireland within the remit of the Heritage Council. These organisations are keen to make all of their high resolution topographic data freely available.
The datasets are in the form of Digital Terrain Models and Digital Surface Models, which have been processed from LiDAR (light detecting and ranging) data. The benefit of LiDAR data and its derived high resolution topographic data are already nationally and internationally recognised with uses including highly detailed mapping of natural and man-made surface features; field-scale changes in slopes, which support agricultural practice, infrastructure planning and development, and flood assessments; habitat mapping and forestry resource assessments.
Michael MacDonagh, Chief Archaeologist in the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht weclomed the collaboration and the access to this new mapping data- "The benefits of LiDAR imagery to survey, management and protection of archaeological sites is already well established. This new access to such high resolution imagery at a country-wide scale is a very exciting development. The mapping resource will be of significant benefit to archaeological research across the 3rd level sector and other organisations and heralds a new period of exciting archaeological exploration and mapping. It will assist greatly in the protection of our archaeological resource and provide accurate survey information for infrastructural providers to allow them to plan projects sustainably, complementing the various open-access archaeological survey platforms already managed by the Department."
"Mapping our diverse and precious habitats and ecoystems, especially where they are at risk, has become more and more important," noted Dr. Ciaran O'Keeffe from the National Parks and Wildlife Service. "This will help to ensure that we can look after the environment that supports many vital species, such as pollinators, and that enriches our own lives on a daily basis. For example, the National Parks and Wildlife Service use LiDAR data to design the restoration works to repair the hydrological balance on raised bogs, and this makes efficient project budgeting, scheduling and implementation possible. It also helps us to explain to our stakeholders what we are doing, and allay any fears in relation to potential changes in the water table in adjacent lands."
Shane Carey, GSI's LiDAR data manager, highlighted that "Geological Survey Ireland use LiDAR data specifically to map geological features, which are not only interesting and feed into our publically available maps, but also provide important planning information to reduce the risk of certain hazards occurring – building houses over areas of possible geological collapse for example." The maps are also used to identify possible flood extents around turloughs, which are a karst feature almost unique to Ireland.
However, LiDAR data are expensive and sometime difficult to acquire as it is remotely sensed from an aircraft, which can be affected by poor weather conditions. "Organisations will generally commission data collection campaigns over very focused areas for a specific project" stated the Geological Survey's Director, Koen Verbruggen. "The aim of this viewer is to host LiDAR from all interested government and non-government organisations and to build up a mosaic of available data across the country". He further noted that, "These high quality topographic maps are not only fascinating to look at, but making them freely available will definitely stimulate new research and improve existing products and techniques. Another important point is that having all of the data displayed at one location will prevent costly duplication of LiDAR data collection, which has already occurred in some locations."
The topographic data from The Discovery Programme, which includes data donated by the Heritage Council and Meath County Council, Geological Survey Ireland, National Monuments Service and National Parks and Wildlife Service are now freely available to download from this online portal, which is hosted on Geological Survey Ireland's website (https://tinyurl.com/opentopographicdataviewer). A number of other organisations have expressed their interest in making their data available through the webviewer and the next update is already being planned.

When you read the description of the characteristics of psychopathy and then you read the New York Times, you don't have to be a scientist for your light bulb to switch on. There are some weird similarities. You know the names of Dennis Kozlowski , Bernie Maddoff or "The Smartest Guys in the Room" from ENRON. Those are just the few who got caught. Those who made a mistake. You agree that if they made a mistake and got caught, they are not the very top guys, are they?
"The world is run by psychopaths."
You may have heard somebody say this, and maybe you have thought it yourself. For most of us, it is an expression of exasperation when we don't understand why decisions that are made for us don't make any sense. Or at least they don't make any sense to us.
But what if it is true, and what if we can prove it?
Well, that was our initial idea for the film. We laughed a lot imagining how we would combine serious interviews and outrageous ideas together and "prove" that < f i s h e a d ( is really the BIG fact that the world is run by psychopaths and that virtually all the problems we are facing today could be and will be blamed on them. The film would be funny but would have enough uncomfortable bits that would linger in peoples' minds long after the fun.
We liked our idea so much that we dove into the research.
So, why did we not do the film that we set out to do in the beginning? Read the next installment.

For my Web Authoring module in my Computer Studies course I need to make a website using html but extra marks are given for CSS (CSS is not needed, but I want to do it anyway)... I don't have to put it up online for the course but since I'll be doing a lot of the work I might as well.
What I was thinking was a website that revolves around our minecraft server. It will show projects, skins, How to's and servers connected to ours and will also have a news section where we can post updates on the server along with any competitions and such. Everything would only be about the JR server and servers staff members and trusted members (those who have been with us at least 6 months) have themselves.
I have a basic design drawn out but I think it be nice to have a little input from the people who make the server what it is today
So what do you think would be a good addition to the website?

New Roaring Fork School
Riverview PK-8 is located on the east bank of the Roaring Fork River located along Highway 82, south of Glenwood Springs, CO. Riverview is a brand new school for the Roaring Fork School District that is being funded from the bond passed in November 2015 to meet the needs of the expanding community. Riverview PK8 was designed to meet the school district's goals of providing space for flexibility, modern technology, outdoor learning spaces, community–friendly, and energy efficiency. Riverview followed the new energy guidelines established in the Facility Master Plan requiring that buildings meet CO-CHPS or 2014 LEED v4 with a minimum equivalent of silver certification. The building will not be certified to one of these but is designed in compliance with both CO-CHPS and LEED.
The mechanical system for Riverview is a variable volume air handling direct/indirect evaporative cooled system with hydronic heating. Air handlers with energy recovery, evaporative cooling, and hydronic heating are located on the roof with terminal variable air volume (VAV) boxes located in the ceiling spaces throughout the building. The air handling units with evaporative cooling will achieve a 35-40% reduction in cooling energy cost when compared to traditional direct expansion (DX) cooling. High-efficiency condensing boilers are located in a central mechanical room. Some mechanical design features include variable speed pumping with optimized flow and temperature reset sequences, load based heating reset, fan speed controls, and carbon dioxide outside air control.
The building's general interior and exterior lighting is controlled by occupancy based digital addressable system, with areas of daylight harvesting photosensor control, and local override controls for cleaning and maintenance times. General purpose receptacles and special outlets along with data outlets are installed throughout for AV, computers, and equipment. Electrical vehicle charging stations have been provided in the parking lot for staff and visitor use. The occupants are protected by a fully addressable fire alarm system that includes voice evacuation. Egress controls are installed at the doors with card access and cameras are strategically located throughout the facility.

Northern Waters Smokehaus named one of America's best delis by Food Network
Jan 10, 2020 06:56AM
By Editor
By Jay Boller of City Pages - January 9, 2020
Food Network's recent roundup of the best delis in the U.S. included Northern Waters among its 51 picks. Now, are nationwide listicle slideshows like this crass ploys to gin up readership -- and, as we see here, aggregation-happy news outlets -- to click, click, click? Absolutely.
But Northern Waters still deserves all the acclaim these content mills can muster. Food Network focuses its blurb on the outrageously tasty Cajun Finn, which you can actually purchase by mail order (but it'll cost ya). Writer Sara Ventiera calls the signature smoked-salmon sammie "perfect for an impromptu alfresco lunch on the North Shore." She ain't wrong.
A Northern Waters rep, who also ain't wrong, described the Food Network spotlight as "pretty awesome."
Our country's other outstanding delis, per Food Network, include: Dakota Butcher (South Dakota), Bunzel's Meat Market (Wisconsin), B&B Grocery (Iowa), J.P. Graziano Grocery Co. (Illinois), Hornbacher's Grocery (North Dakota), and, predictably, Katz's Delicatessen, the orgasmic deli king of New York City.
In 2019, City Pages crowned Cecil's in St. Paul as the Best Delicatessen in the Twin Cities.
Another Food Network entity, frosty-tipped food dude Guy Fieri, gave Northern Waters his stamp of approval back in 2010. The Mayor of Flavortown will (presumably) return to Minnesota for the grand opening of Chicken Guy!, his sauce-tastic tender destination that's opening soon inside Mall of America.

The one year I decided to splurge and buy a nice 3-man blind a family of bears (mostly the cubs) totally destroyed it.I'm surprised they haven't torn up my ground blind! The winter ice and snow crushed it and broke a couple of struts but it's fixable. I figured they might investigate a wayward Chunky wrapper that I missed cleaning up...

Chris writes: "Conservative MEPs voted against the establishment of the European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS), which standardises the format of criminal records in Europe and allows them to be exchanged quickly between police forces and high risk employers, such as airports.
"It beggars belief that anyone would want to make it more difficult for us to check whether people coming to this country are dangerous criminals."
In South-West Wales we have already seen the effect of the lack of background information on a worker from Poland, who committed a serious sexual offence here.
And, as Nick Clegg argues, in an article by Nik Cohn, "so instinctive is Tory antipathy that Cameron would rather be soft on crime than friends with European allies.
"The Europol police agency has helped break up paedophile rings in the UK, Clegg says. The European arrest warrant allowed the fast-track deportation to Britain of Hussain Osman who had fled to Rome after trying to blow up a tube station. Ordinarily, Tories are against paedophilia and terrorism, but the 'Euro' prefix is enough to make them damn both the agency and arrest warrant."

Renters' Rights Passed Over in Olympia – So Far
Olympia, WA – One consequence of Washington's budget crisis is that some legislation not directly budget-related has been shoved to the sidelines. This year the list includes two bills to improve access to affordable housing. Senate Bill 5922 would protect renters looking for apartments, and SB 5923 would create a new funding source for more-affordable rentals.
Senate Bill 5922 is called the "Fair Tenant Screening Act." When would-be renters pay an application fee for a screening report, they usually do not see what it says. The bill requires that they receive a copy, which they can use for 60 days to look for housing instead of having to pay more fees for a new screening report for each potential rental site.
Jonathan Grant, a housing counselor for the group Solid Ground, says this would solve an all-too-common problem, especially for low-income renters.
"They will apply for housing at one place, pay the $35 or $80 for the screening fee and get denied; go to another place, pay the fee again – and again and again. I had one client who paid more than $500 in application costs and is still currently homeless."
The bill also gives renters the opportunity to correct inaccurate information on screening reports. Grant says enacting this legislation will not cost the state anything. It has not yet had a hearing, however, and he expects credit screening companies to object when it does, because they would make less money on fees.
Another bill, SB 5923, would use the interest that landlords make from their renters' security deposits to help fund a state program for very low-income people and the homeless called "Affordable Housing for All." Lynn Davison, executive director of the housing group Common Ground, says that program has been under-funded for years.
"We're not talking about getting huge amounts of money from individual landlords. It only gets to be a significant amount of money when it's collected from everyone, put in one pot, and then carefully dedicated to be used by those who need it the very most."
Davison says a similar system is already in place in the legal profession, which takes interest made on attorneys' retainers and uses it to fund public defense. She expects some pushback from landlords, for the extra paperwork involved and because they would no longer be keeping the interest money for themselves.
Both bills are awaiting hearing in the Senate Financial Institutions, Housing & Insurance Committee. Most bills must receive a hearing by February 25 or they will be effectively dead for this legislative session.
