Church Staff
David and April McNeilly Pastors / Corps Officers
David and April love being officers in The Salvation Army. They both received a clear calling from God in their teen years, not knowing then the many adventures awaiting them. Raised by godly Salvation Army officer parents, David has had the privilege of travelling for much of his early life. As a child, David lived in France for four years, nearly losing his ability to speak English! As a teen, he graduated from high school in Kinshasa, The Democratic Republic of Congo (then Zaire). April was introduced to The Salvation Army as a child in rural Newfoundland when a neighbour began taking her to church.
David and April were married in London, Ontario. Prior to their officership, David worked as Key Accounts Manager for Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, and April worked at Mission Services London at their Women's Emergency Shelter.
In addition to their studies from The Salvation Army College for Officer Training, David has an undergraduate degree from Concordia University in Commerce, while April holds a Bachelor of Music Education from Western University. Currently, both David and April are completing their Master's Degrees in Theological Studies, David from Tyndale and April from the University of Toronto (Wycliffe). David is a graduate of the Arrow Leadership Program, and April is a Certified Enneagram Instructor.
Looking back over their 20+ years of life as Salvation Army officers, David and April see God's hand at work in wonderful ways. While ministering for seven years in Montreal, Quebec, David and April added to their family: Four beautiful daughters continue to be God's precious gift to them. Taking these girls from Quebec to New Brunswick, then all the way to France, has been both rewarding and challenging.
Life in the stunning city of Paris, France, is among the most exciting of the McNeilly family adventures. "The six of us were like deer caught in headlights! We went from a city with a population of 120,000 to Greater Paris, a city of 11 million," said April. "No one spoke English. All the chatter around us was French, Arabic or Mandarin." (The McNeillys lived in the Chinese Quarter). The congregation was multicultural, with all socio-economic brackets present, from business men to homeless people. Going from a white, middle-class church in New Brunswick to a church with lots of Africans, Haitians, and other cultures was a powerful experience for the whole family. "The older Africans would greet us on Sunday morning with a kiss and a 'Bonjour Mama (or Papa) Capitaine!' which we learned was a wonderful sign of love and respect."
David and April returned to Canada with their family in 2011 and ministered as Corps Officers/ Pastors of Kingston Citadel for seven years. David and April come to Oshawa Temple having completed their Territorial Headquarters appointments, where David served as Corps Ministries Secretary, and April as Territorial Secretary for Spiritual Life Development.
David and April are both passionate about teaching God's Word, seeing followers of Jesus become fully formed disciples, and seeing our neighbourhoods transformed by God's love.
Victoria Reid – Youth Pastor
Victoria Reid is the Salvation Army Oshawa's Youth Pastor as well as being a wife and mother. Victoria has a passion working with young people and a keen desire to make disciples of Jesus Christ. Victoria's educational background is in child & youth studies with a diploma in early childhood education and a bachelor of arts in psychology. She considers it a privilege to be able to work with children, youth, and their families. She has felt blessed to call our church her family for many years, and looks forward to many more years of serving in this ministry.

Unlimited customization options to transform the look of any type of video content!
Just drag and drop effects into your footage, adjust parameters to fit your needs, and watch how cinematic quality light effects change the character of your video content!
Great fantastic easy to use FX
These 40! Effects are awesome and super easy to use.
It's hard to overstate just how pretty the cinematic prism effect is. I bought it just today and I was mesmerized going through every different preset until I found the right one. I like the options to customize, obviously, but even cooler are the presets where you can add an image as an overlay, instead of dragging another clip down to the timeline and setting it to "overlay." I can't wait to play around more with this plugin and make nothing but whimsical fantastical sequences.
I'm not going to use it a lot, because I do tutorials mostly. Sometimes I play little parts of guitar and that's when I use it. It's great. I have to explore it a lot yet but I already love it :)
This new Cinematic plug-in sure makes it easy to produce stunning videos.

What is AppSumo?
AppSumo is a market for organizations to get access to lifetime software offers.
Think about AppSumo like Groupon for advertising and startup nerds.
Each week new deals are added to the website where you can anticipate to conserve anywhere from 50% to 99% on applications to grow your business Appsumo Kirim.
AppSumo's creator Noah Kagan began AppSumo out as a side hustle yet it rapidly caught grip in the marketplace particularly when they began to make use of the services of an expert copywriter for their email blasts.
There is a certain development hacker and startup ambiance to AppSumo so the sort of life time bargains you will certainly anticipate to see include things like devices to assist you develop much better internet sites (like Ultimate Addons for Elementor) all the way to invoicing as well as reporting tools making it easier for you to get paid.
You can likewise anticipate to see a lot of social media marketing and web content advertising tools.
But because of the AppSumo company model you have to remember you are not mosting likely to discover firms like Microsoft or Adobe featured on their web site.
That being stated there have been numerous times where I have been extremely satisfied by the caliber of firm that AppSumo managed to get a deal on. Business like TechSmith and Deposit Photos come to mind which have had bargains featured on AppSumo prior to.
Exactly how does AppSumo work?
AppSumo negotiates take care of application suppliers based upon the substantial size of the AppSumo target market which represents attention and also a prompt resources shot for the startup.
The video clip below does an excellent work of discussing how sites like AppSumo work.
Is AppSumo legit?
For customers AppSumo is still a relied on source for getting software less costly and if you do not like what you bought you obtain an immediate no question asked refund for approximately 60 days after your purchase.
The risk to you as a purchaser from AppSumo is definitely zero to respond to the inquiry of whether AppSumo is legit. However there is a definite cost to the application vendor due to the fact that they have to offer the majority of their profits to AppSumo (70%) to be included. This goes a long way to explaining why AppSumo has earnings in the 8 figures (believe 10's of numerous dollars annually.).
If the start-up has actually refrained from doing their due diligence they could get seriously bewildered with new clients and also assistance requests for extremely little financial return.
So this does highlight one possible worry about AppSumo offers not a lot with AppSumo themselves yet with the actual application supplier themselves. To reduce this danger AppSumo does do a great deal of due dligence on that they include however their have been times when a bargain has gone south and the company fails.
To AppSumo's credit report this most recent situation they stepped in as well as gave a full credit reimbursement to their consumers (of which I was one) as well as I right away got another AppSumo deal.
And while I am speaking about this AppSumo does have a refund policy where you will certainly get your money back on any kind of offer you buy if you ask for a reimbursement within 60 days.
What have been the very best AppSumo Lifetime Offers?
Numerous epic bargains have actually gone through Appsumo. The reason business owners and also development cyberpunks like AppSumo is greater than just the price, it's the high quality of the devices they recommend.
The Sumo's as they call themselves are former workers of large firms like Facebook, Google as well as Mint who understand what to search for when it involves service apps.
They test each of the devices prior to promoting as well as hand choose the best of the most effective as well as discuss special bargains normally over 70% off and occasionally 99%.
We are talking about AppSumo bargains like:
- ClickMinded– By Tommy Griffith who was the SEO supervisor for Airbnb.
- TechSmith Camtasia Studio– Probably the very best display recorder on the planet.
- MissingLettr– The device that maintains promoting your web content on social media sites.
- Sign– book developer that can develop ebooks from your WordPress blog posts.
- Pattern– Device for developing expert graphics faster.
- CloudApp– Collaboration as well as annotating tool in the cloud.
- Ultimate Addons for Elementor– making the best site building contractor for WordPress
- Elementor also better.
- There are also cost-free AppSumo deals like:.
- The Clickminded Search Engine Optimization List.
- StreamSkill.
- Providing Docs.
It's ideal to assert these cost-free deals as soon as possible since as soon as all the codes are gone the offers are likely to not return however there have been some significant exceptions like Clickminded and DepositPhotos which have actually returned especially around Black Friday promos.
On that topic you definitely wish to make certain you are subscribed to the AppSumo newsletter and also pay special focus to emails from AppSumo around Black Friday as they commonly restore a collection of the very best offers for the year for that sales weekend break.
If you do make a decision to register to the AppSumo newsletter now you will not obtain spammed however you can anticipate a monthly AppSumo newsletter which is always amusing as well as likewise informs as soon as brand-new applications enter the shop.
And also while we are speaking about AppSumo and also the very best time to purchase from them you may be wondering about any AppSumo discount rates or voucher codes as well as I more than happy to share some buying hacks with you.
Are there AppSumo Coupon Codes?
Yes there are you simply need to recognize where to look.
The first place you will certainly locate codes typically for 10% off your cart is via their e-newsletter. Sometimes to celebrate a brand-new firm entering the fold or even if they like you as a customer they will certainly email a code for 10% off.
However there is a means to obtain a guaranteed 10% off every acquisition but it does need you to be a member of their AppSumo Brief-case or AppSumo And also subscriptions (much more on that particular shortly).
Prior to I talk about those memberships I want to share the most convenient means to get substantially much more worth from every AppSumo acquisition you make.
I have actually a start-up called Bootstrapps which is a large collection of apps that get on price cut and also of course we feature AppSumo bargains yet when you acquire via us we sweeten the pot as well as give you a perk WordPress plugin of your option.
All you need to do is right click as well as open in new incognito window this link to visit AppSumo as well as purchase your favored offers and after that go to this web page to declare your reward.
Basic! However enough self advertising let's speak about AppSumo And also and AppSumo Brief-case.

Written in KITCHEN of
Few imagine that leeks have a history of thousands of years. The Egyptians ate it, Dr. Galen used it as a remedy for many conditions, and further back in time, a legend about Welsh history in which Welsh soldiers followed the lead of St. David and hid behind a field of leeks. , put it on the coat of arms of this country. Enough reasons why in this recipe, instead of ordinary onions, leeks are responsible for providing flavor and greenness.
A theme of its own, the mass of white wine, gives it an elegant and surprising touch. Let's continue with the chicken, leek and bacon pie recipe.
dough ingredients
- 200 g of plain flour
- 100 g cold butter
- 2 pinches of salt
- 100 cc cold water (if made like any dough) or cold white wine
Ingredients for the filling:
- 500 g skinless and boneless chicken
- 100 g of smoked ham cut into slices
- 3 large leeks with healthy leaves
- 4 eggs
- butter 2 tbsp.
- spices to taste
- 2 tablespoons. of grated cheese.
First prepare the dough, as it needs to rest. Put the flour and butter on the counter and with two knives or a cornet (sharp and wide spatula) chop and mix everything until it becomes coarse sand. Pour in the salt and wine a little at a time, you should not get a full 100 cc. When everything is combined, it is taken to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until ready to use.
Prepare the filling. In a frying pan over a medium heat with butter, arrange the well-washed leeks without the roots and cut them into thin slices (use the amount of leaves to make it equal to the white) and the bacon cut into strips. When the vegetables have softened, add the diced chicken, season, lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Let it cool.
Beat the eggs with 3 tbsp. of water and salt. Roll out the dough, line a 22cm tart pan. Mix the egg with the filling, arrange it in the dough and bake it in a moderate oven for 30 minutes. Just before removing it, put the grated cheese on top.
When the dough and toppings turn golden brown, remove and it's ready to serve.

The Applications of Organoids in Cancer Modeling and Ecosystem
The conventional two-dimensional (2D) culture system fails to mimic the spatial organization and microenvironment of human cancers, which hinders our understanding of cancer pathogenesis and the efficacy of treatment. In contrast, an "organoid" that mainly originates from disassociated tumor tissues, organ-specific progenitor cells or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) could reproduce individual tumor features and recapitulate tumor heterogeneity based on a three-dimensional (3D) culture. It is well known that the "organoid" was first established by Clevers H in 2009. However, through a historical perspective of thinking in 3D cultures or organoids, we should be aware that the essence is the same. As Bissell MJ (a pioneer of 3D cell culture) indicated in 2017, 3D and organoid culture might really have started as early as 1900, and the first use of the words "three-dimensional culture models" began with the assays developed by Barcellos-Hoff et al. (1989) and Petersen et al. (1992). Clevers H (2016) also stated that there was an initial increase in organoid research during the period between 1965 and 1985.
Cancer is not only a genetic disease; it may best be conceptualized as an evolving ecosystem. Emerging evidence has proved that it's somatic, genetic and epigenetic changes, and malignant progression is deeply determined by tumor microenvironment which consists of different stromal cells, soluble factors and extracellular matrix components. The 3D culture and organoid models could allow for deconstructing the complexity of cancer by recapitulating tumor heterogeneity and tumor dissemination by mimicking the in vivo composition of organ microenvironment. Therefore, an Article Collection about organoids in cancer modeling and ecosystem might provide a framework for understanding key elements of tumor heterogeneity, aggressive progression and therapy responses.
This Collection will provide a valuable resource to show that tumor organoids are an excellent tool for cancer modeling and ecosystem recapitulating. We will call for papers on the following but not limited areas:
- Establishment of organoid biobanks and histopathological characterization
- Application of organoids in tumor drug screening and vaccinations
- Circulating tumor cell-derived organoids
- Diverse organoid culture and bioengineering approaches
- Recapitulating tumor ecosystem and microenvironment by organoid model
- Application of 3D culture and organoids in spatio-temporal tumoriecology
- Tumor-pathogen ecological interactions in organoid models
Research articles and review articles are welcome.

Professor Luo's research mainly focuses on nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) pathology and ecology. He proposes that NPC is a complex spatio-temporal evolutionary multidimensional ecosystem and has constructed a novel molecule-morphology model of NPC progression.

Legal news for New York SUV Rollover crash attorneys— An SUV rolled over after crash with a car, which injured one woman.
A sport utility vehicle (SUV) rolled over on Interstate 95 in Mamaroneck NY during rush hour traffic.
Mamaroneck, NY (NewYorkInjuryNews.com) – A sport utility vehicle (SUV) rolled over after a collision with another vehicle on Interstate 95 on Wednesday morning, October 14, 2009, according to the Journal News.
The accident took place in the fast lane of the southbound lanes between the Exit 18B and 19, which obstructed rush hour traffic for close to an hour. State police reported to the scene of the rollover wreck.
The two vehicles reportedly hit the wall on the highway around 8:30 a.m. The crash occurred between a Lexus SUV and a BMW convertible. The driver of the SUV apparently suffered only minor injuries from the rollover crash. The Connecticut woman's drivers side airbags inflated, and she was reported to have been wearing her seat belt. Police did not identify the woman by age or name.
The driver of the BMW was only identified as a New York driver. Both women had no recollection of the crash. Emergency medical services (EMS) transported the Connecticut woman to the Sound Shore Medical Center to be treated by doctors and nurses.

Part 1 of a short story 'Juliet of our times' by Janath Tillekeratne
The burning fire of sorrowThe sealed coffin with my father's mutilated body, lay in the middle of our drawing room. Two large oil lamps lit beside the top of the coffin, where his head should have lain for everyone to see under normal circumstances, threw an eerie glow onto my mother's swollen, tear streaked face resting on the side of the coffin where my father's feet should have been duly encased in new white socks, giving the wrong impression to any watcher that she is quite at peace with herself. Little will anyone ever know the fire of sorrow burning within her. As my parents were extremely close to one another, in spite of being married to each other for 30 years.
The noise of the table fan, running constantly to keep flies away from the sealed coffin, sounded like the wail of a bereaved widow, as if trying to catch up from where my mother left off due to exhaustion.
My sister, having no more tears left, is sitting two feet away from the coffin that is supposed to contain her father's mortal remains, staring into thin air, as if trying to comprehend what really happened, while her husband had his arm around her comfortingly, fighting hard to keep off the sleep that has become heavy on his eyelids.
All in all, my father's funeral did not lack anything from the point of a traditional funeral due to people of his generation, except the way he died and the unusual way his coffin is kept sealed.
I could not bear the gloom within any longer and walked outside to see if I could keep myself occupied and so suppress the tears welling up within me.
Watching the depths of despair my father's death has brought upon my normally very happy family, suddenly became too much, and I felt a couple of tears streaking down my cheeks while on my way out. Outside, the scene was entirely different. People were playing cards and carrom to while away the time, while some others were busy preparing the necessary decorations which would adorn the road to the cemetery. A couple of people I immediately noted, were quite drunk and had a tough time pretending to be sober when they saw me.
Someone pressed a cup of coffee into my hands and I suddenly realized that the time was 5.00 am: it was the day my father was to go out of our lives for ever. I also realized that I had to see the morning newspapers to check the death notice of my father, and so decided to walk to the nearby junction.
In 1974 my father, who was an Asst. Station Master until then, got his first posting as a fully fledged Station Master at the Madawa-chchiya Railway station, which is in the heart of the dry zone about 30 miles from Anuradhapura, northwards.
Being the eldest in my family of two brothers and one sister, I had to do a lot of work in packing our stuff, which I did while grumbling all the time, being just 10 years of age. When we got off at the station at Madawachchiya, there was a group of people, mainly employees of the Railways Dept. and their families, gathered on the platform. My father was welcomed with a traditional garland by his deputy to be, Mr. Nadarajah, who became my favourite 'Uncle' and whom I later affectionately referred to as 'Uncle Nada.' Among the gathering, I noticed a little girl clad in the traditional Tamil dress of long skirt and blouse made of shiny material and her hair covered with lovely white flowers, staring at us with her wide black eyes while hiding behind her mother's sari. That was the first time I saw Revathie.
Revathie was the eldest daughter of Uncle Nadarajah and Aunty Kamala, and she had an elder brother called Balendran and a younger sister called Shashikala. Revathie was the most outstanding of them, though we always fought with one another, for even the pettiest of things.
I found the massive black birthmark right on the tip of her nose rather ugly and always tormented her about it, and she fought back very hard, being the spirited soul she was. However, she became the best friend of my younger brother Ranil, who simply worshipped the very ground she walked on. The first thing he did when both of us returned home from the Medawachchiya Central School, was to see if Revathie had returned from the Tamil Girl's School and if she had, he got her to come and feed him his lunch. My mother too simply adored Revathie and all of them were furious with me for being the only person who fought with her.
"Who is that ugly skinny boy with the New Station Master? Is he and his son and going to be my neighbour? His nose is too long and his body is also too skinny, and how can anyone ever like him?"
That is precisely how I felt about Sunil when I saw him for the first time - from behind my mother at the Medawachchiya station, unconsciously making an effort to cover up my nose with it's ugly birthmark with her sari. Uncle Dinga, as I began to fondly call Sunil's father who was really called Dingiri Banda, looked every inch the sweet man he was from day one and so was aunt Seela. But the best of their family was little Ranil, who looked like Lord Krishna in his childhood with curly hair falling over his shiny little curious eyes with their drooping lids. I immediately latched onto him and we became friends right away.
Time flew, with Uncle Dingha teaching us English when he had time, and my father, being the devoted Hindu he is, told us a whole heap of mythological stories Hinduism is full of. However, little Ranil was a very poor listener and for the first time Sunil and I found something in common in my father's narratives and we started talking about them - when we were not fighting with one another on thousands of other things. He always made fun of the mole at the tip of my nose and called me a 'Mongoose' when our parents were not around, I found it very annoying. But Ranil, he was a real darling and couldn't spend a moment without his darling Revathie Akki.
During the Sinhala New Year festival in 1976, my father asked uncle Nada if we could take Revathie and little Shashikala with us to our village in Matara. Uncle Nada consented without any hesitation. Both of them had very good rapport with each other, and were best of friends.
At that time it never occurred to us that we belonged to two different communities. I was beginning to grow up and was in a stage where a girl was considered an anathema, and thus did not welcome this member of the much hated species being with us for a whole month, and that too in our village. However, both girls spoke very good Sinhala, though with a slight accent and could converse easily with everybody back at home. Gradually I learnt to accept them and even volunteered to take them on beach expeditions, where we went to collect sea shells, which Revathie and Shashikala did with much glee. On Sundays when my father came home for weekends, he took us for sea baths, and I still recall him carrying Revathie on his shoulder into the deep waters, while she cried in mortal fear amidst my mother's desperate pleas to bring her back, shouting loudly that she would not be able to compensate to Uncle Nada if the unspeakable happened to his daughter because of my father's frolics.
One day, Revathie, (who was ten years at that time, I was 12,) was playing marbles with some of the village boys when she had a streak of luck and started winning continuously. I considered myself above marbles at that time and was watching the game, when one of the boys who lost all his precious marbles, especially to a girl, hit Revathie's hands causing all the marbles to spill over. In anger Revathie caught the little boy by his hair and hit him with her free hand. Suddenly all the others around her started abusing her calling her 'Demalichchi' - that hit her very hard.
She suddenly lost the spirit to fight back, covered her face with her hands and started crying. At that moment something happened to me. I saw Revathie, who I never liked - until then - , as Sitha in the Ramayana story narrated to us by Uncle Nada and all the village boys as stooges of the bad King Ravana, harassing the good Queen of Rama. I don't know if I compared myself to Rama at that time, but I simply started whipping all the boys who were making fun of her. Ignoring the fact that they had been my best friends since childhood. After a while all of them disappeared, leaving Revathie and me alone. She slowly took her hands from her face and looked at me.
I could never explain what passed between us at that time! There was a new glow in her face and a strange twinkle in her eyes, which also spoke of some deep commitment which was unfathomable. Neither of us spoke a word, but we kept on staring at each other for a long time. Finally I could not bear it up any more and turned to go back home; she followed me meekly. From that day onwards, I was never the same.
"Lord Shiva, why do I feel this way? I can't sleep, I can't eat and I can't concentrate on my studies. My heart is beating all the time and there does not seem to be any room in it for anything or anyone else but Sunil. I tried to convince myself that he is ugly and too tall and too thin to be handsome, but he still manages to emerge above all. Is this what they call love? Is this how my mother feels towards my father? But Lord Shiva, he belongs to a different community and a different religion, so how can we ever get married? I must try and forget him. No I can't do that. Life without him would be so empty, and I cannot even think about it. Please forgive me. Right now I love him even more than my parents."
Things have changed at home. It is not my younger brother who is looking for Revathie now but myself - the great King Rama. I will never let any harm come to my beautiful Queen Sita - alias Revathie. However, there were times I felt kind of creepish for considering the ancient Sri Lankan King Ravana as a villainous figure and it also must have been pricking my yet undeveloped mind that Revathie was Tamil, but all these misgivings disappeared whenever I saw her smiling face, full of endless love and admiration for her hero. Though we had not spoken even a word about love to one another, every action, every look and every move, spoke volumes of it. There were days I found half eaten toffees on my window sill, sometimes covered with ants, and I knew that my Princess could not eat it without giving me my share. I of course, had a very big sweet tooth and never thought of her when I ate them.
One day after coming home from school, I used my rather unannounced methods to find out where Revathie was, but she had not come to see him that day. In the afternoon, when I could not bear it any longer, I asked my mother rather offhandishly where Revathie was, and she explained that Revathie will hence be considered as a grownup. By then I also knew what she meant by it, and the love I had for her in my heart simply increased in leaps and bounds, though since lately this had been happening quite frequently without needing an excuse.
"Lord Shiva, this confinement is killing me. I am dying to see Sunil, but my mother says I have to stay like this for three more days. How can I ever explain to her the anguish I am going through? All I have is this stupid book of his with his name written on the first page and now I have read it more than a hundred times."
I will never forget the day her attainment ceremony was held. Dressed in all regalia that adorns a Hindu bride and made to stand inside a stage which very much resembled the stage used in Sinhala weddings called the 'Poruwa', my Rewathie really looked like the Princess Sita. Even the mole at the tip of her nose, which I found so repulsive earlier, looked like a piece of diamond jewelery placed there by the gods that increased her beauty a thousandfold.
Her occasional glances full of shyness, spoke volumes about how she felt towards me and I was right on top of the world. Even my father, who was usually receptive to my moods, noted the change in me and being the wise old man he was, would have probably realized the reason but never spoke about it.
When I asked Uncle Nada why they had to make her dress like a bride, he told me that it was an old custom among his people, which permits the parents to see their daughter as a bride and keep it in their memories if she happened to pass away before she was betrothed. I found this explanation a little hard to comprehend. (without realizing that it actually benefited me in a sense more than anyone else.)
When it was time for her to greet everybody, immediately after greeting her parents in the traditional Hindu style of touching their feet, Revathie directly came to my father and my mother and to the surprise of everyone and to the pleasure of my parents, took a bunch of beetle leaves lying on the table and she offered it to them, and with palms together, greeted them in the traditional Sinhala way. This brought tears to my mother's eyes, and she immediately hugged her, and started mumbling a lengthy statement of adoration quite loudly, which no one could comprehend. Without knowing it, Revathie walked into our hearts as an adult, just as easily and effortlessly as she did as a child.
My Sunil looks smart in his new long pants, but I just can't look into his eyes for a long time any longer, because they just seem to burn into mine. Goddess Parvathie, did you feel the same way when you looked at Lord Shiva in your adolescence?
It was 1976 April and my father accepted an invitation from Uncle Nada to join them for a threeday visit to Jaffna. We all boarded the Jaffna bound Yaldevi Express from Medawachchiya, and since my father was also the Station Master and Uncle Nada his Deputy we managed to get a large 2nd class compartment all for ourselves. Within half an hour every adult of our family was fast asleep, while the younger children were gathered around the two windows, staring at the wayside with the glee that only children are capable of.
I was sitting in one corner while Revathie was seated in the other, and my brother was sitting on her lap while her sister was sitting on mine. Her left hand was resting on the window sill below the little portion of the open shutter and was not visible to those within the cabin and suddenly without realizing it my hand, generating a motion ofs it's own, touched her fingers. Bolts of lightning struck as our fingers sought out each others and bonded in one solid lock. How can I ever explain, or live down, those few moments we had together?
To be contd.
Poetry of a truly, whole person
Hilary Crusz left us in May 1989, leaving us the memory and model of a warm, wise and sometimes whimsical personality. A leading sprit of the University of Ceylon, he was deeply honoured as a teacher, research scientist and University Administrator.
He was at the same time the epitome of the civilized University man.
A quiet collector of original Sri Lankan paintings, with exquisite early Gabriels on the walls, a bibliophile, who once told me he couldn't do without his little monthly package of books from Blackwells, well versed in philosophy and theology and at the same time a fine human being with great zest for life, including the occasional sip of brandy from the little cask by the staircase, Hilary was a truly whole person.
It must be added, that the appetite for theology was rooted in a deep faith, and reasoned adherence to the religion of his fathers. A poem like "Baptism" only makes explicit the Christian confidence that is implicit in many other poems.
With his command of French, German and Latin, he had a catholic yet personalized taste in Literature.
With enthusiasm that was often expressed with an upbeat ''tchah!" and a roll of the eyes. And I owe to it my introduction to Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose.
We got to know Hilary and Decima rather well after they moved to Peradeniya, building on the few chance meetings at Melbourne Avenue when I was visiting Decima's brother "Quincy" Rabot or our friend Tony Don Michael next door. While we grew to appreciate the special aroma of their personal charm, perhaps we tended to take Hilary's learning and culture for granted.
Still, I was not really surprised when he left a few poems with me with, as he modestly said, the hope that I might find them interesting. I was more than interested.
They were deeply touching poems, written when abroad.
The hallmark of those as of this volume is that he had "the courage of his tenderness". Hilary's writing issued from a glad fulfilment of his personal life and love. This lies underneath, even in the poems of separation.
This resource and quality did not call for a wrestle with words and images, and did not constitute a provocation to stylistic experiment. In his verse, Hilary has been content to stay within the formal structures and urbane rhetoric, internalized during a standard education.
There is a cultured adquacy of lexis and syntax and an easy movement of rhyme and verse-form.
One looks through these to the vibrant expression of a generous sensibility, deeply responsive to the blessings of his personal life.
- Ashley Halpe -
EmptinessI have lost all skill of words,
Images by which
to plumb thee.
I am empty of meaning Empty - Like a fruit tree Where thou wert fruits
From Crimson-petalled flowers
Ecstatic bleeding. I have lost
Images, words, skills
By which to sing my
I am empty - like a carcass,
Throbbing life, driven out of me,
Hollow sounding bell,
Not an atom doing
Its merry round within or
about me. Stark void
inside of me, where thou,
Wert the substance.
Empty of meaning,
Where thou, wert the meaning.
Empty, of thee,

which means Nan-Nan lost in R1 .england_rules said:Duebbers d. Bacheva (don't know score)
Yes Cory Ann zoomed thru qualies, but I'm still shocked. I expected it to be close but I think Carly won it in two 6-4, 6-4. The only thing I can say Cory Ann does better than Carly is mix up the pace of her shots. Carly has a better serve, bigger groundies and more variety. I would love to get a match report. I really want both of them to make French Qualies but I'm not sure its possible.VSFan1 aka Joshua L. said:Well, after she zoomed through qualifying, not really. I'm surprised that Carly kept her form and beat Olga(?) here. I'm happy for her!
It was a good day for the Americans - Melien, Cory Ann, Teryn, Bea, and SHENAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The saga of the 176-182 West 82nd Street penthouse addition appears to have drawn to a close as the Landmarks Preservation Commission unanimously voted yesterday to approve a slightly smaller version of the original plan. The addition, which will now be made of metal and glass, is still two stories and still visible from street level, but less so. That was enough for the commissioners, who evidently decided that five Curbed posts about this one addition was enough already. There is no word yet on how much of a hit the resale value of Kevin Bacon's apartment has taken.

Germany's Bierhoff steps aside after World Cup exit
Berlin, Dec 5, 2022 (AFP) - Germany's team director Oliver Bierhoff has stepped aside two years early after his country crashed out in the group stage for the second consecutive World Cup, the national association said Monday.
The four-time World Cup winners had a poor campaign in Qatar, which included defeat against Japan in their opening game.
Bierhoff and the German Football Association (DFB) have agreed "to terminate his contract, which runs until 2024, early," the association said in a statement.
Former striker Bierhoff, who scored two goals in the Euro 1996 final when Germany last won the tournament, had worked for the body since 2004.
Bierhoff was an influential and very public figure alongside coaches Juergen Klinsmann, then Joachim Loew before Hansi Flick took over in 2021.
DFB president Bernd Neuendorf said in a statement that Bierhoff had "rendered great services to the (association)".
While the last few tournaments "fell short", he would still be remembered for "great moments", Neuendorf said, highlighting his work at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, which Germany won.
"Even in turbulent times, he always pursued his goal and vision, and leaves a lasting mark on the DFB," he added.
The early exit for coach Flick's team has left Germany's once fearsome reputation in tatters.
Germany also crashed out four years ago in Russia, and went out in the last 16 in last year's European Championship.
Neuendorf and Flick have called for an overhaul of Germany's youth development system before the country hosts the 2024 European Championship.

A heroic soldier in Thailand successfully brought a drowned puppy back to life by carefully giving him cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
The little dog was reportedly in terrible condition when he was found by a group of soldiers in a flooded area of an army base in the Thai capital of Bangkok, Daily Mail reports.
"There was a lot of rain and the garage where the puppies were kept flooded. We checked and one was missing," one of the rescuers, Weeraphon Sukudom, was quoted as saying.
While his other siblings survived the torrent of flowing waters, the tiny pup appeared to have died as he was no longer moving and had already turned blue.
"His brothers and sisters are all still alive. He just was the weaker one and was separated when the water went in the garage," Sukudom narrated.
Refusing to just let the small animal perish, Sukudom decided to lay him down on a table carefully and give his chest some massages by only using thumbs for a few minutes. He also pumped air by breathing into the puppy's mouth.
"I learned CPR a long time ago but had never done it before on a human or animal. But I had to try to save the little dog," shared the soldier.
The puppy soon showed signs of life when he suddenly let out a faint squeal and opened his mouth.
"The puppy was already blue and I thought he might already be dead, but I just tried," Sukudom said. "Then I could feel the life returning to him. His heart started beating again. It's very lucky we found him in time. It's like a miracle he's alive now. I'll look after him and feed him to get his strength back.
After successfully reviving the little puppy, Sukudom decided to adopt him and aptly named him Champion.
A video of the soldier's act of heroism was posted by fellow recruit Tongchana Paeloy on Facebook. As of this writing, the video has been viewed more than 12 million times.

LED stairwell light fixtures
LED OFFICE LIGHTING plays a very important role in the workspace. Good LED office lighting will improve productivity and makes the employees happy to work efficiently. The office lighting in your workspace has a direct effect on the mood, energy level, and productivity of your team. Lighting that is too dim will make your employees feel tired and cranky. On the other hand, lighting that is too bright will be hard on their eyes — even triggering migraines — and will disrupt their body's natural circadian rhythms. The perfect lighting for the space helps your employees stay alert, creative, energized, and in the right state of mind to give 100 percent. But finding the balance between too dim and too light can be a difficult task. Brandon Lighting is the office lighting manufacturer that has served the lighting market for more than ten years.
LED Office lighting by mounting types
Suspended Linear Light LED Office lighting
Suspended linear light is the most popular office lighting. Suspended linear office lights or LED hanging lights are extremely versatile in nature and can be easily hung in any space.

Happy birthday month to all my Gemini babies!
Love you all!
Find the people who bring out your true colors and whose true colors are worth sticking around for.
I wish it was fall already. Not only do I love living in layers, fall fashion, and fall tones, but I've always found fall to be a source of new beginnings for me.
I love everything pumpkin too. 🎃🎃🎃 Halloween has pretty much always been my excuse to dress out of my comfort zone and try something off the wall. Thanksgiving just warms the heart, period. Fall, hurry up. 🍂🍂🍁🍁 What's your favorite season?
I feel like Missoni prints are timeless. The cute zigzag pattern & bright tones never get old. I love and respect their family & brand. 👨👩👦 Rug from Missoni Home
Sunset colors are so beautiful, and some of my favorite color combinations. God probably planned it that way.
What's been inspiring you lately?
One of my favorite trends this season and honestly of all runway trends is pajama & lingerie inspired style.
I'm definitely pining for a set like the one I drew above.
Is the Pajama Wrap Jumpsuit by Asos above not the cutest thing ever? 😩
We've seen this trend crop up before. Last spring it was a hit and this year more racier styles are taking over the trend. As noted by Vogue Italia,
"Bra, briefs, garter belts and (lots of) body suits. Style is in the details…"
We've definitely seen the bralette and bodysuit trend for a while. 90s grunge style was embedded with racy punky babydoll dresses a la Courtney Love.
I love the juxtaposition of a strong boot with a soft feminine lacy dress.
The modern take on lingerie inspired dressing is fashion-forward as well. Apparently, the trend will continue to appear and give its fans something sexy to slip into fall/winter 2017. Vogue Italia also writes,
"The hues for winter 2017 lingerie include timeless black but also lots of burgundy (replacing classic red for Christmas) and pink-nude, more understated but still flirty."
Personally, I'm in love, and I can't wait to wear this trend all summer. 💞
What do you think about it?

PlayBales : an interactive textiles landscape to encourage play.
Create. Play. Reimagine. These three words define my practice within textiles. I have a playful approach to design, utilising energetic processes and injecting bold stories into my work. I have a passion for engagement and have the aim of prompting meaningful interactions between communities.
Formed by a variety of modular components, PlayBales is an interactive environment where users are invited to build their own personalised compositions for a meeting place, whatever that may mean to them. This project is based upon my own childhood nostalgia of the agricultural landscapes of rural Aberdeenshire where I grew up. Sourcing inspiration from the organic textures which became home comforts for me, my concept is based around hay bales which were so often transformed into building blocks for our build-your-own playground.
Through a range of mixed media techniques, including stitch, fabric manipulation and hand printing processes, this project translates the dynamism of farming lifestyles as well as repeating linear structures of the countryside into a playful interiors context.
With a "please touch the artwork" approach, PlayBales provides a platform for opportunities of collaboration, play and reconnection with the natural world for participants of all ages through a collection of tactile surfaces.
Print Design Samples
Behind-the-scenes imagery of my work and updates on my practice can be found on my Instagram @kirstys_sketchbook where you can contact me for opportunities of collaboration, commissions or further information!

TEXOMA (KFDX/KJTL) — Texas Department of Transportation maintenance crews in Texoma started 12-hour around-the-clock shifts overnight Monday and early Tuesday morning.
While pretreating the primary roadways, bridges and overpasses with brine, the morning's rain has likely erased much of the protective benefits, according to TxDOT Public Information Officer Adele Lewis.
Monday's pretreatment of the anti-icing agent may have washed off of the roadways.
Motorists should slow down during any weather event and drive to the conditions. Lewis advises allowing extra time to get to your destination and proceeding with extra caution.
Lewis said as of 10 a.m. Tuesday, January 24, the snow is only falling in parts of the district:
Vernon, Electra, Seymour and Wichita Falls all have snow on the ground. Archer City and Throckmorton will experience snow very soon. Graham, Gainesville, Henrietta, Bowie, Muenster and Nocona have only received rain.
Crews are treating the snow accumulation with brine, salt, and sand. Plows are also being used to clear the highways.
Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, travel is expected to deteriorate, Lewis said.
Bridges and overpasses will be the first to freeze and the last to thaw. Standing water in dips, intersections and guttered roadways inside city limits are expected to freeze overnight and create a layer of ice on the pavement.
Drivers are urged to follow these precautions:
- Reduce speed. Speed limits are based on normal road and weather conditions, not winter road conditions. Do not use cruise control.
- Maintain at least three times the normal following distance on snow or ice.
- Watch carefully for equipment treating roadways and stay at least 200 feet back from road crews.
- Use extra caution on bridges, ramps, overpasses and shaded areas as they tend to freeze first.
- Carry extra warm coats, gloves and boots in case you get stranded.
- If you start to slide, ease off the gas pedal or brakes. Steer in the direction of the skid until you feel you have regained traction, and then straighten your vehicle.

46 Migrants, Refugees Already Have Perished in Mediterranean in 2016
It's already looking like 2016 could be another grim, record-breaking year when it comes to the number of migrants and refugees who die or go missing in the Mediterranean Sea.
Just eight days into the new year, 46 migrants and refugees have been reported dead or missing in the Mediterranean Sea, according to new figures from the International Organization for Migration (IOM). That's the same number of refugees and migrants who went missing or died in the first three months of 2014, and more than half the number who died or went missing in all of January 2015 (82).
Meanwhile, the number of people who have arrived in Greece by sea was 9,930 between January 1 and January 6, an enormous increase when compared to the 5,550 people who arrived by sea in the entire month of January last year.
This year's fatality and missing numbers are mainly due to two shipwrecks off the Turkish coast earlier this week. Turkish authorities retrieved dozens of bodies, including three children, at two separate locations along the coast of the Aegean Sea (which, for the purposes of its report, the IOM counts as the Mediterranean) after an overcrowded, inflatable boat attempting to reach Greece capsized on Tuesday. The deaths came several days after a 2-year-old refugee became 2016's first casualty at sea.
Last year was the deadliest year on record for migrants and refugees at sea, according to the IOM. The Mediterranean Sea was by far the deadliest migration route in the world, with 3,771 people perishing in its waters. More than a million asylum seekers arrived in Europe last year, the majority of them from the war-torn nations of Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Despite a deal reached between the European Union and Turkey late last year that saw Brussels agree to provide 3 billion euros ($3.27 billion) in aid in exchange for a crackdown on the flow of people, the number of arrivals to Europe from Turkey has not fallen sufficiently, EU officials said. European countries are still figuring out how to deal with the influx of migrants, as ongoing wars in Syria and Iraq mean the number of arrivals likely won't slow down.
Germany, one of the most popular destinations for migrants and refugees coming to Europe, is grappling with rising tensions after hundreds of men described as being Arab or North African sexually assaulted and robbed women outside Cologne's train station on New Year's Eve, prompting the resignation of the city's police chief on Friday. There are fears that some of the men were part of the refugee influx to Germany in 2015, and German officials are now considering deporting migrants who commit crimes.

Code-License = I allow these licenses when the art is used. This is not the same as licensing the art under these licenses which is invalid! It's actually wrapping the code-license into an custom-asset-license that unfolds the code-license. It's meta-licensing.
This may work its a bit more complex tho legally then it sounds ill have a chat with bart about it.
The issues with most open source liscenese is that they dont make much sence when applied to art, that being said if there is a liscense you think really should be here we can look into adding it.
Original was CC-BY
In a 2d isometric game you can actually remove 3 of the faces of the protruding bricks, If you look at the below image you can see that these faces are never shown to the camera from your games perspective.
Everything is complete all the issues should be resolved.
A less then scientific study using less then scientific methods can come to any concolusion.
While I must say that "remixing" when it comes to code is more beneficial then it is for creative works, the benifit for creative works is still there just typically not in the same method.
The highest quality creative works typically come from when someone see's piece of art x and wants to create piece y and z to go with it, not in a pure modification of the original.
When everything is said and done there should be a good 10-20% perf increase actually ^.^
also the clicking noise when you move is annoying...
Just downloading the game is dificult thats prolly part of the reason, also a game at that stage being $7 is really pricy.

ARES Around Ohio
Ohio's amateur radio operators continued to train and supply important community service over the year 2021. Using their own radio equipment, these operators continued to educate themselves through NIMS and other sources to present a trained, ready resource to counties and Ohio.
According to independentsector.org, the 2021 hourly value of a volunteer was $28.54.
Ohio ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) members provided 58,202 hours of training, meeting, and service valued at $1.661 Million. In addition, each of our over 955 members provided an average of $300 in radio equipment, saving our communities and the state $286,500.
ARES operators provided 17,000 hours of service for 678 "public service" events (parades, rides, runs, and competition) and they provided 6579 hours of service in 113 emergency events (the majority being weather-related).
ARES members work hard to present a trained resource to our partners. We have over 1,000 active members. 732 have completed the four NIMS courses (100, 200, 700, 800) to be considered "Level 2" operators. 196 have added either 300-400 or the Professional Development Series to qualify for management positions. 74 have completed Auxcomm training, 10 are COML, 2 COMN, and 4 COMT rated. Ohio ARES keeps an extensive training database on all ARES members. Including such credentials as firefighting, EMT/Medic, police and many other credits, we now have over 10,000 certificates on file. We submit this level of training across the state is unrivaled by any other state.
The Ohio Auxcomm Team
The Ohio Auxcomm Team operates station W8SGT at the Ohio EOC. Over 2021, 139 unique Ohio operators contacted the station over 941 times during our 41 weekly readiness HF voice nets. There were numerous contacts from outside Ohio, including PA, SC, TN, VA, WI and WV. The station is set up for voice, digital and Winlink operation on HF, VHF and UHF frequencies. Our operators are well trained and at the 'top of the list' for net control and emergency skills. Most have experience in the emergency services, all have experience participating in actual emergencies. Some represent our skills elsewhere, such as an annual trip for two of our operators to communicate with the New York Marathon. These operators are dedicated to the program, attending the EOC each Tuesday evening for the weekly readiness nets. Our operators develop and maintain antennas and equipment interfaces as needed.
Ohio Digital Emergency Net
A critical service of amateur radio is transmitting formatted ICS forms. The Ohio Digital Emergency Net (OHDEN) is part of Ohio ARES with the purpose of operating digitally to send these messages. Holding weekly readiness checks over 12 months, 80 unique operators totaled 788 contacts averaging 65 per month. These Came from an average of 18 counties per month.
There are several layers of HF voice nets in Ohio to organize and send messages. These nets are mentioned because they are included as a part of our larger "Simulated Emergency Test" sponsored by the ARRL each October.
Local Emergency Nets
Ohio counties in which there is an active ARES program conduct regular local nets on VHF/UHF frequencies. Many also conduct local digital nets. Ohio county ARES units conducted 4,319 voice nets and 693 digital nets accumulating 27,109 hours. These times are included in the general ARES report above. These local nets carry the specific purpose of service our county partners from EMA, hospital and other agencies.
It should be noted that most "Skywarn" severe weather nets are conducted on a local basis, communicating with the National Weather Service. These times are in addition to activity cited above. However, ARES and the Auxcomm team continue a program aimed at providing blanket coverage of the state through digital voice systems when needed.
The "Watch Desk Project"
Storm systems usually bring serious static and RF noise making communication on HF bands extremely difficult. By linking the two major digital voice repeater systems in Ohio (Yaesu's "System Fusion" and the P-25 based "DMR" system) we offer coverage through over 225 repeaters saturating the state. This creates a significant ability to communicate static-free with handheld radios. This "Watch Desk Project" has been used in cooperation with the EOC's Watch Desk during severe weather outbreaks. It is a valuable resource that stands ready when needed.
We Test Our Readiness
In order to test our readiness to be a viable resource Ohio ARES participates in the ARRL-sponsored "Simulated Emergency Test" in early October each year. Ohio generally places in the top three ranking nationwide. This year's scenario was a derecho with heavy wind damage followed by days of sub-zero cold resulting in loss of power and communication. Thirty one counties and over two hundred operators were active for the exercise as was the Ohio Auxcomm Team and W8SGT. W8SGT received 35 digital messages (205, 213, others plus Winlink forms) 31 formal voice messages and many tactical communications over the daylong period.
Another important test is the "Ohio ARES VHF Plus" radio contest. Conducted as a contest, this event in early January is actually a test of residential VHF/UHF antennas and stations. It affords operators the chance to plot where their "simplex" signals (non-repeater) may be heard. This gives the knowledge of how they would participate in a large-scale disaster or prolonged power outage that would take away repeaters.
Members of our teams appreciate the cooperation and acceptance of our partners at all levels! We will continue to study and practice to maintain our service at acceptable levels.

Veteran League of Legends player Konstantinos-Napoleon "FORG1VEN" Tzortziou has announced his free agency for the 2020 competitive season after having spent recent years on hiatus due to mandatory military service.
FORG1VEN announced his leave for mandatory duty in the Greek military in February 2016 when he was competing as an ADC for H2k Gaming in the European League of Legends Championship Series, later rebranded as the LoL European Championship.
After an emotional post-game interview in which FORG1VEN shared that he will be leaving for the military, a revelation that put many in the League community on their heels, he was granted temporary deferment of the service and performed at the 2016 World Championship, where H2k finished third.
He then played a few smaller tournaments while waiting for his military service to begin. In April of this year, FORG1VEN shared that he's free of his service and is open for offers from all regions, as well as for bootcamps and tryouts. He has climbed to the top 10 ranked players on EUW servers just a week after the announcement, showing that the former bot lane star is taking his comeback seriously.
Veteran FORG1VEN ready to come back for 2020 season
But his devotion and hard work in the League's solo queue haven't instantly given FORG1VEN a new team, as he stayed unsigned for the rest of the season. He announced free agency through Twitter on October 24, sharing his previous achievements and hoping to find the outlet through which he'll get to shine on stage again.
Fans instantly started tagging top tier teams like SK Telecom T1 and Cloud9 to sign him, sharing their excitement over having him back. The more likely scenario is that FORG1VEN won't get signed to a world-class team straight away, but will instead have to prove himself once again from the lower tiers of the professional scene.

Bonus payments on way after challenge fails
The Australian Tax Office says 7.4 million taxpayers will start receiving their $900 stimulus payments from next week.
The High Court has upheld the payment, after Law lecturer Bryan Pape challenged the Government on the grounds it went beyond its powers under the Constitution.
Shortly after the decision was announced, the Tax Commissioner said the processing of payments had begun.
The money will be paid either directly into bank accounts or by a cheque to a nominated address.
The Commissioner has urged taxpayers to be patient if they do not receive the payment immediately.
The ATO had been hoping for an outcome by yesterday so it could either stop or start printing cheques, depending on the result.
'Great win for Australians'
Attorney-General Robert McClelland says the Government was confident of victory.
"We're very pleased of course that the stimulus package has been upheld as a valid appropriation of the Commonwealth and this means that the payments can go out to about 8 million Australians," he said.
"Clearly the course of action taken by the Government was upheld as being a valid action by the Government."
Outside the court, Mr Pape said despite his defeat, the case was a great win for Australians.
"What you've witnessed here today - probably the greatest gift that's ever been given to this country was the Constitution and the way it works and the judicial system," he said.
The High Court has not yet released its reasons for the judgement.

The word Hilo has multiple meanings but one of the main ones is "to braid our twist." It is also the name of a famous navigator. It is also the first or new moon and was derived from the earlier two meanings.
As the slender new moon sets in the western sky, it often has a twisted appearance thus having the name Hilo. Because this is the first moon it acts as a navigator for the moons to follow. Traditionally it was felt that this was a good moon for deep sea fishing but bad for reef fishing and gathering of any below ground roots and vegetables. Hilo is also a type of grass, mau'u Hilo, as well as a variety of sweet potatoes.
This Hilo Neoprene Pouch is made from soft wetsuit material. It is waterproof lined and has a top zipper that is a rubber splash-proof enclosure.
