A medical checkup gone right
A medical checkup sounds boring, but wait till you are serviced at GayMedics. Watch the lucky patient here get fullest possible treatment from our very nice doctor. His hands are so warm and tender as they run all across the patient's skin. And what a nice way of saying thank you to your doctor! Watch the medical professional's hard cock jump out of his boxers, straight into the patient's mouth. Damn, he knows the buttons to press! Very soon, both are naked, the doctor is on top, massaging the patient's fuck hole with his hot throbbing dick. In the end, both shot so much semen!

We study the interplay between the local geometric properties and the non-blowup of the 3D incompressible Euler equations. We consider the interaction of two perturbed antiparallel vortex tubes using Kerr's initial condition [15] [Phys. Fluids 5 (1993), 1725]. We use a pseudo-spectral method with resolution up to 1536 × 1024 × 3072 to resolve the nearly singular behavior of the Euler equations. Our numerical results demonstrate that the maximum vorticity does not grow faster than doubly exponential in time, up to t = 19, beyond the singularity time t = 18.7 predicted by Kerr's computations [15], [22]. The velocity, the enstrophy, and the enstrophy production rate remain bounded throughout the computations. As the flow evolves, the vortex tubes are flattened severely and turned into thin vortex sheets, which roll up subsequently. The vortex lines near the region of the maximum vorticity are relatively straight. This local geometric regularity of vortex lines seems to be responsible for the dynamic depletion of vortex stretching.

Planning For a Successful ERP Implementation
Epicor Values
The primary purpose for the existence of any supply chain is to satisfy customer needs and business profits. Supply chain management activities begin with a customer order and ends when the purchase is paid for, a process often referred to as perfect order fulfillment—from quote-to-cash. Everything that happens in between should be driven by the single goal of adding value to the inputs and making it closer to whatever the end-customer requires.
But not all supply chains add value. Companies that invest in SCM, or supply chain management software, to identify such activities can work on reducing and eliminating these non-value-added activities, becoming what is referred to as lean businesses. Such companies can deliver products and services to market faster, cheaper, and with better quality, gaining a compelling advantage over less efficient competitors.
Epicor® offers an extensive range of supply chain management solutions as part of our end-to-end ERP solutions. Based on an industry leading
service-oriented architecture (SOA), Epicor SCM is complemented by an array of enterprise capabilities, including
customer relationship management (CRM),
supplier relationship management (SRM) ,
supply chain execution (SCE), and sourcing solutions.
For distributors that produce or assemble their items, Epicor supply chain system solutions go beyond traditional kitting functionality by offering comprehensive
production management. Epicor supply chain management and sourcing solutions are designed to simultaneously handle make-to-order, make-to-stock and engineer-to-order processing, giving you the flexibility to review and update plans as demand changes.
Whether you need to track a few transactions using barcodes and RFID tags or need a comprehensive warehouse management system to operate warehouses globally, Epicor SCM and sourcing solutions can help you achieve your goals, including automated route scheduling systems that integrate GPS, digital mapping data, mileage, and driving directions to support a customer's distribution needs worldwide.

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.
Here's an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 620 times in 2014. If it were a cable car, it would take about 10 trips to carry that many people.
Going to type out the Memory Verses that we have done so far … and then add the picture I made for each right afterward. This will be a progressive post here on A.Hutchinson Photography, adding in each new verse from the week on Sunday.
(I will use the corrections tools, like red for words I had to go find, cross outs and replacements in blue!)
Just another tactic in my box of memorization exercises. =)
(For verse 3 I inadvertently made two Scripture Pics. In the stress of that week, I forgot about the first one! =) )
Thanks for stopping by!
Psalm 27: 3
Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, In this I will be confident.
Hiding Psalm 27 in my heart.
Memorizing verse 3.
Now in order by photo:
What methods are you using to memorize your scripture verse?
Thanks for stopping by to take a look! Blessings to all.
Today I honor this man. The Love of my life. The man God built for me. The most honest, loving, intelligent man with impeccable character and integrity. I am truly the most blessed and grateful to God.
Father, Husband, Grandfather, Brother and Friend … Mighty Man of God.
Happy Birthday my Love. <3
Thank you for stopping by for a peek. Blessings.

Serenity … It comes from that quality. The Quality of BEING thankful.
It's something we do.

Thanks for stopping by!
Hey there! I'm going to attempt to resurrect this photography blog! =) Today I'm going to add it to The Tuesday at Ten Link-up, thanks to the encouragement of Karen!
So today I wrote on Karen's prompt: Seek – over on Hopeannfaith. The prompt didn't really take me just to the common scripture: Seek first the kindgom of God … though it's there leading the pack.
The prompt met me right where I was at today [and yesterday after our meeting with the clinical trial oncologist], seeking God in a tough situation. I was seeking Him for understanding, solace and that grace bubble I so enjoy in times like this. I've learned over many years to run and seek God out in times of need. I truly seek Him first now. It's really the only way. And He's really the only guidance that changes things here in Hutchland.
Karen chose the perfect prompt. It was like she reached into my situation and found what I needed and knowing what it was she sent me out to look for it. For that I am thankful.
I need you like a lighthouse on the coast, like Father and The Son need the Holy Ghost.
I need you, ohhhh I need you! ~ Unknown
When I'm seeking guidance I think of light. Can't find anything in the dark, now can we? And when I think of a guiding light or a light to my feet, I think of lamps and lighthouses. So here's some photographs from several months ago, when all our kids and us were together for a week around mother's day. All the kids, their spouses and the grandkids.One of the things we did was visit Old Barney … The Barnegat Light House in Barnegat, NJ. {for those of you who are not familiar}.
Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. Psalm 119:105
This first is the photoart I created from the second photo, marked original, for T@T's prompt this week. The rest are just great pics from the outing.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
In my excitement I posted this to my other blog … Here is my 1st. "Real" photo shoot! The family was very happy with the album of edits and enjoyed the SOOC shots, particularly the candid shots. As always I am grateful for the gift I have and that with it I am able to bring much beauty and joy to people. =)

|"Sally Lillian" is a superb example of used Trader 54 Sunliner. She has been maintained and updated consistently to a very high standard. The navigation equipment aboard this Trader 54 is particularly impressive, although extremely comprehensive it is intuitive and user-friendly. Probably the most customised Sunliner 54 to leave the factory! Her owners have previously cruised for extended periods throughout the summer months, this is evident in the level of backup in all regards to avoid inconveniences whilst away from her home port. There is an extensive spares list which will be made available to the purchaser. Although this vessel is laid out predominantly as an owner's boat with an additional guest cabin there is the option to convert the dinette into a further double and the starboard side saloon settee could also very easily be converted to a sofa bed for occasional guests.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
To those outside the Minneapolis house DJ circle, Karl Who?'s moniker may come off as some kind of knock-knock joke. To dance-music revelers around the Twin Cities, however, the DJ's club and rave sets and mix CDs are much anticipated--perhaps because this Madison transplant hasn't obnoxiously pushed himself upon the already oversaturated local market with innumerable gigs and half-ass mixes. After releasing last year's dancefloor-dizzying House Is a Home, he waited until April to release his latest, Even Prime.
Karl Who?'s second mix CD is a groover's dream with its more mature, Latin-tinged flavorings and tracks by such lauded house producers as Mazi, Deaf n' Dumb Crew, and Kenny Dope. We chatted it up with the DJ about Miss Cleo, late night voicemails from DJ Alfredo, and how Even Prime reflects his local success.
CITY PAGES: How is Even Prime different from House Is a Home, and what does the album mean for your career? Any milestones achieved here?
KARL WHO?: Although I can't pick favorites, I would think that Even Prime is a little more listenable than House Is a Home. Especially if house music isn't necessarily your main thing. The tracks I've chosen for EP are more substantial in their production, so they sound good even when you're not out at the club. There are some records out there that are great for really working a live audience, but their crowd-pleasing value is lost on a mix CD. Even Prime is a natural progression for me because the sound is a little more grown-up, but I still managed to get plenty of funk and thump on the disk. It's a milestone for me on so many levels.
CP: What do you think differentiates you from other established house DJs in Minneapolis?
WHO: They play out more than me! Ha. If anything, I suppose I would say that I have been a music fanatic since birth. And lately I've been spending my time listening to tons of old funk records. That's where it all comes from, and I guess I find that I'm more confident as a house DJ when I know I'm not playing a record that samples that cheesy GQ track for the millionth time.
CP: What's unique about the tracks featured here?
WHO: Most of the records are pretty obscure from a mainstream perspective. When I dropped the CDs off at a store that shall go unnamed, the clerk looked at the track listing and commented that he had never heard of any of the artists on the disc. Honestly, I sort of took it as a compliment. Who needs another Now That's What I Call a Hot Dance Mix 2003 CD anyway?
CP: On House Is a Home you and some buddies jokingly questioned Miss Cleo's clairvoyant abilities. No Miss Cleo references this time?
WHO: Last I heard, she was being sued for misrepresentation or something. She's got enough to deal with without me making fun of her again on my CD. Did you see when the local news did an exposé on her and followed her around the grocery store in Florida? Now that's what I call journalism!

It is one of four changes to the backline. Clayton Blommetjies rotates with Jurgen Visser at fullback for his first start of the season, while Ulrich Beyers is fit again and will start ahead of Waylon Murray. At flyhalf, Tony Jantjies replaces injured Handrè Pollard.
Vodacom Blue Bulls coach Pine Pienaar also recalled his most experienced lock, Wilhelm Steenkamp to the starting pack and a fit-again Werner Kruger will start at tighthead, with Frik Kirsten on the bench. Bandise Maku also makes a first start this season.
Regular Vodacom Blue Bulls Under-21 hooker, Jaco Visagie, has been included on the bench and could make his debut if called upon.
The team to play the MTN Golden Lions at Ellis Park is: Clayton Blommetjies, Akona Ndungane, Ulrich Beyers, Francois Venter, Bjorn Basson, Tony Jantjies, Rudy Paige, Jono Ross (c), Jacques du Plessis, Wiaan Liebenberg, Wilhelm Steenkamp, Paul Willemse, Werner Kruger, Bandise Maku, Morné Mellett. Replacements: Jaco Visagie, Frik Kirsten, Grant Hattingh, Jacques Engelbrecht, Lohan Jacobs, William Small-Smith, Jurgen Visser.

San Miguel Beermen out to go all the way this time
THE ADDITION of two hulking PBA stars isn't the only reason San Miguel Beer likes its chances in Season 4 of the Asean Basketball League (ABL).
Picking up from the lessons of last year's debut run, coach Leo Austria thinks the Beermen's better chemistry adds to the intimidating presence new recruits Asi Taulava and Eric Menk bring.
"Thinking that talent is enough to win was our big mistake last year," said Austria. "We relied solely on talent and we got overconfident. Talent alone is not enough to win games. This time we should also have discipline and play better as a team."
The Beermen led virtually all the way last year only to fall short in the finals against the Indonesia Warriors.
Both squads meet again in the season opener at 8 p.m. (Manila time) this Friday at the Warriors' homecourt in Mahaka Square in Jakarta.
All games will be aired live by Fox Sports over ESPN, said Jude Turcuato, head of Fox International Channels Philippines.
Taulava and Menk, both former PBA MVPs, lead the retooled Beermen, who also tapped American imports Brian Williams and Gabe Freeman, Paolo Hubalde, JR Cawaling, Chris Banchero and reigning MVP Leo Avenido.
"This team is a lot stronger than last year's team," said Banchero, the 6-foot-1 guard who had an impressive debut last season. "We picked up a lot of pieces, especially the PBA players and the two imports."
"We're focused on one goal, to bring home the championship," Taulava said in yesterday's PSA Forum at Shakey's Malate. "There's no such thing in our mind as second or third."
"It's an exciting time for both of us," said Menk. "The opportunity to play with Asi is not something I really expected. I think we'll make each other better and push ourselves."
Completing the Beermen's roster are Taulava's co-captain RJ Rizada, Val Acuña, Mike Burtscher, Axel Doruelo, Christian Luanzon and Hans Thiele.

The Reserve Bank of India, as expected, has kept the key rates unchanged in the economy, but reduced the statutory liquidity ratio by 0.5 percentage points to 22%. The RBI had cut down the SLR from 22.5% to 22% to June. However, this might not help the banks much unless the actual demand for funds goes up in the economy.
RBI keeps inflation target at 8% by January 2015, 6 per cent by January 2016. RBI has peg GDP growth rate for current fiscal at 5.5%, which falls within 5-6% range projected in April.
The policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) remains unchanged at 8% while the cash reserve ratio (CRR) of scheduled banks stands at 4%. The reverse repo rate under the LAF will remain unchanged at 7% and the Bank Rate at 9%.
The RBI said that the global economy has been picking up, albeit slowly since June this year, and the sentiment of the domestic economy seems to be on a revival path too. Consumer price inflaion ahs been easing, and the CPI keeping food and fuel out, has been declining since September last year.
It said in the statement, "The Reserve Bank will review existing liquidity arrangements and continue to monitor and manage liquidity to ensure adequate flow of credit to the productive sectors."
But the RBI has cautioned that it is still concerned with inflation due to uncertain monsoons and geopolitical concerns that could push up the oil prices. The RBI would thus maintain a vigilant stance over inflation numbers through a cautious monetary policy.
It said its inflation target of 8% in 2015 is achievable but it is the medium term targets that it is concerned about.
The statement added, "The Reserve Bank has taken a number of steps to enhance efficiency, increase entry, speed up resolution, and improve access to financial services, such as modified regulations on long term lending and borrowing, proposals for licensing payment banks and small banks, a framework to deal with stressed assets, actions to further the use of mobile phones in banking, and efforts to simplify know your customer (KYC) norms, among others. The Reserve Bank will continue to carry forward its banking sector reforms agenda."
The next interest rate review announcement is expected on September 30, 2014.

|A study of the individual and organizational characteristics influencing event planner's perception on information content and channel choice
|Alexander, Amanda, 1984-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Based on the understanding of the role of event planners within the context of organizational decision making process, the main purpose of this study is to examine factors (i.e., organizational vs. individual) that influence event planners perception of information contents and channel choices. An online survey questionnaire was sent to a sample of members of International Special Events Society (ISES) and 189 usable responses were received. The results reveal that personal interaction is the most valuable channel whereas meetings room information appears to be most influential for event planners' decision-makings. It is also observed that individual factors more influence event planners' channel choices and perceptions. The results of this study are anticipated to provide valuable marketing implications for destination marketing organizations such as CVBs.

That is exactly the case. There is an infinitesimal kernel of truth at the center of that pearl of idiocy; a high-altitude nuclear detonation does produce geomagnetic field disturbances similar to, but much more violent than, a CME impact. But the effects one normally thinks of as coming from a nuclear EMP -- small electronics being suddenly destroyed by radio-frequency electromagnetic fields -- are absolutely absent from a CME-induced geomagnetic storm.

There's real potential for using cubesats beyond Earth orbit. Lots and lots of people have noticed this, and they've generally also noticed the same set of problems -- power, cold, communication, and radiation. There are possible solutions to each of those, but they come with major costs and the probe described and drawn in the article incorporates none of them.
The aerodynamic entry idea is utter nonsense on that moon, though -- what passes for an atmosphere on Europa would qualify as "ultra-high vacuum" in a laboratory. It's about the same density as what the ISS is orbiting through right now. There is no structure in existence that could decelerate enough in that atmosphere to land gently. The terminal velocity of a flake of monolayer graphene is comparable to rifle muzzle velocities, and functional circuitry is a few orders of magnitude heavier than that.

At least the chipsats turning into teeny little craters in the ice will reduce the data burden for the cubesat's transmitter, which based on those solar panels has a power budget of about a tenth of a watt to make a link at a range close to a billion kilometers. You can maybe squeeze a few hundred bits per second out of that while you're tying up a DSN dish, otherwise forget it.
Maybe they're thinking of making it an accessory to a full-size probe, but forgot to mention the need to send a few hundred kilograms of other stuff out there too. Or maybe somebody was behind on their press release quota, and this half-baked crap was the best thing they had lying around.

Re: BVI chart/nav app
2 years ago I bought a waterproof Garmin Oregon handheld chartplotter along with a chart chip for the eastern Caribbean. This was in preparation for a bareboat charter that included the Spanish Virgins. I also bought waterproof charts and a Seaworthy guide to all of the Virgin Islands so I could lay my hands on the navigation data and just in case the electronics crapped out.
An app might be nice, but if you want something you can rely on under wet conditions a small handheld is the way to go when you are the skipper on someone else's boat. You can set up waypoints and routes ahead of time and familiarize yourself with electronics that you'll be able to use when/if panic sets in. If your charter boat has a chartplotter, at least you'll have a backup that may be more user friendly (if you've done the drill). One advantage of the Oregon--and similar sized Garmin units--is that they fit into a drink holder by the helm.
The higher end Garmin handhelds are not cheap, but they have more pixels (higher resolution) than the cheaper Garmin handheld chart plotters and they obviously are a lot more rugged than a cell phone or tablet. Think of it as insurance--as part of a layered approach to assuring your safety. The only drawback is that they don't float.
I rationalized the purchase as a backup for my own boat's installed chartplotter/GPS which would fail in the next lightning strike. (After losing all my electronics twice to lightning, this is more than a hypothetical situation for me.) The advantage of handheld electronics is that you can protect them by putting them in your oven or wrapping them in aluminum foil when lightning threatens.
That said, I am trying to figure out what charting and weather apps to acquire for my iPhone (and maybe an iPad in the future) and hope to get some suggestions from this blog.

On April 12, Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and John McCain (R-AZ) introduced the Commercial Privacy Bill of Rights Act of 2011 (S. 799). The bill would require "covered entities" to (1) provide notice of their data collection practices and to disclose the purposes for the data collection; (2) provide an opt-out mechanism for "covered information" and an opt-in mechanism for sensitive information; (3) establish procedures for safeguarding data; (4) and implement privacy protections throughout the life cycle of a product ("privacy by design"). Certain provisions of the bill would direct the FTC to initiate rulemaking proceedings within specified timeframes, but the bill also imposes requirements directly on covered entities. The bill does not contain a "do not track" provision. (We summarized Rep. Speier's Do Not Track bill in our February 2011 Alert.)
The bill mandates that covered entities collect only as much information as is reasonably necessary and maintain the information only as long as necessary. The bill would authorize the FTC to develop a safe harbor program, and would provide individuals with the right to access and change certain information that covered entities maintain - something the Direct Marketing Association has repeatedly said would be an expensive requirement for its members.

Muppets to the Rescue
June 26, 2008
By Shari Low
BE still my beating Animal, they're coming back. Disney have announced that they've commissioned a new Muppet movie, but this time there's an urgent cause in the storyline.
According to the writer, they want to bring Muppets together to put on a show in a bid to save the studio. Paul Burrell, George Bush's foreign policy advisor and the cast of Big Brother have yet to confirm that they'll answer the call.

2 of 4 terror suspects were new Islamic converts
All four men are facing charges of providing material support to terrorists, which can carry a maximum 15-year prison sentence.
Authorities won't say how the investigation began, but at least two members of the group shared their beliefs on Facebook and held Skype phone calls with Kabir - all of which was recorded by an FBI informant or captured by agents monitoring their activity.
Covert FBI agents had conversations with Santana online, where he expressed his support of jihad and desire to join al-Qaida, authorities said.
Defense attorneys for Gojali and Santana did not return calls seeking comment. Deleon's lawyer, Randolph Driggs, declined to comment about the charges against his client.
Their plans were to advance Sunday with a flight to Istanbul - and then to Afghanistan where Kabir said he had set up meetings with terrorists - but the men were arrested two days before. Before their departure, they had scrubbed their Facebook profiles of Islamic references and planned to leave goodbye letters and invented a cover story about attending a wedding in Afghanistan.
Despite their aspirations, the three probably weren't likely to find themselves on the front lines of a jihad any time soon, said Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, a senior fellow at the Washington, D.C.-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a non-partisan think tank focused on national security and foreign policy.
Recent history is cluttered with instances of radicalized Muslims from the U.S. and other Western nations who traveled to Afghanistan or Pakistan to join the jihad, only to find themselves turned away or strung along, he said. Little has been publicly released about Kabir, the alleged recruiter, but it's unlikely he would have been in a position to secure a spot for the three in any important operations, he added.
"It's quite possible these guys would have gotten the cold shoulder had they gone over there," he said. "They're not really useful guys, they're not people who have a great deal of knowledge about the U.S. that could benefit the Taliban organization, they don't have skill sets. The best things they have to offer are their passports and their ethnicity."
That's little solace for their families - or for Muslims who worry cases like this are a symptom of a whole generation of new converts who have little in common with organized worship and the mosque communities that traditionally provide religious education and spiritual guidance.
"The imams should reach out. They have to make the mosques interesting and attractive to young generations and try to understand their psychology, try to address their concerns and have a dialogue," said Ali, the UC Riverside professor.
"They cannot just say `Islam is a religion of peace' and do nothing. To me, this is a really a challenge for imams, to really address the issue," he said. "They cannot deny it's happening, even though it's a very small minority."

An interesting article in the Milwaukee Journal on the events that occurred in Wisconsin starting in February 2011 as a result of the proposal and subsequent passage of Act 10. It is important for everyone to be informed because Governor Scott Walker (R-WI) has his sights set on the White House. And if you thought George Bush the 43rd was bad, wait to hear this towering intellect. More beyond the Orange Cheese Curd.
There was more to Scott Walker's fight with unions than speeches and protests
Some of the more interesting revelations include:
• The top two officials within Obama's re-election campaign quietly met with key Wisconsin Democrats and union leaders in October 2011 and expressed skepticism about the looming effort to recall Walker and how it could affect the president's own re-election chances.One of the more troubling aspects that has developed in the state is how the Walker administration tried using the Capitol Police to deny citizens their right to protest. In the event of future protests, the current administrators of the Capital Police may prove to be less tolerant of protestors thus setting up a possible confrontation.
• A conservative Milwaukee foundation headed by Walker's campaign chairman helped prepare the way for labor legislation that advanced in states such as Wisconsin and Michigan in 2011 and 2012. The Bradley Foundation helped fund groups such as the MacIver Institute, a free-market Madison think tank that made an early call for a proposal similar to the one that Walker eventually put forward.
• Some of the crowd estimates released by the Walker administration at the time were several times smaller than those actually done by top police in Madison during the biggest protests against Walker's bill.
• At the end of the first week of protests, the University of Wisconsin-Madison police chief balked at an order from Walker's chief of staff to clear the Capitol of thousands of demonstrators in just under a half-hour because the officer believed it could lead to an ugly confrontation. The governor's aide backed off and the action wasn't taken that evening.
• Republican lawmakers never notified Capitol police of a plan to take an unexpected conference committee vote on Walker's legislation that sent protesters storming into the Statehouse and past the unprepared officers. Then in a move that stunned officers from other agencies, the Madison Police Department declined a direct request from the Capitol police to help the overwhelmed state officers regain control of the building.
It will be a long road back to rekindle the Wisconsin Idea.

Lawdog, thanks for describing how you settled on a Sabre. Cruising Dad and you will be the third and forth people who have mentioned Sabre to us. And the one casual look I had inside of one ... I believe it was a 36' or 38' with an open quarter berth ... really impressed me. Small, comfortable, warm -- too bad for me that I want to avoid an open quarter berth so much. The owner is trying to sell her. In any case, I have been meaning to find out more about them -- that task has officially been moved forward on our to do list.
I am especially encouraged to hear the the customer service for both Sabre and Catalina are good (Likewise, it is too bad to hear that Tartan isn't a stellar on that point).
CD, do not worry about overwhelming us with information. We're trying to gather as many details and opinions as we can right now, in the hopes that 6 months from now we will have a much clearer idea of what we want. So everything is helpful, and everything goes in my notes!
A quick question on the Catalina 400s: Would you look at mki boats? Or would you hold out for a mkii? I suppose the same question could be asked about the 42'.

"If we believe in God, then we have hope," said Maurice, a resident of Grand Bayou, Louisiana. Having just traveled 80 miles walking, boating, and especially praying in the Gulf region, I believe Maurice is not alone is his assessment of this nation's worst creation care disaster [6]. From the oyster farmers of Mississippi to the shrimpers of Venice, Louisiana, they understand that hope comes not in the form of BP or fishing boats transformed into oil skimmers but in the One who created all things and for whom all things were created.
We need God in this Gulf mess because it's bad -- no, it's terrible. Visible oil coats marshes for hundreds of miles destroying some of the most diverse natural ecosystems in the world. The home to millions of birds, fish, shrimp, oysters, and thousands of other creatures is, simply put -- shattered. The marshes provide the first defense against hurricanes and other storms that often rage in the Gulf of Mexico. However, the marshes are not just home to animals and microorganisms; the bayou waterways are also home to people. These bayou dwellers have lived sustainably for hundreds of years. They are dependent on the water and the marshes for food and shelter. Most importantly, it is home to a people with a simple way of life that is utterly dependent on God and creation.
Standing on Pass Christian's dock, one oysterman succinctly put: "I'm 59 years old, and my chosen profession is gone." In one sense, he is one of the lucky ones. At least for now, he has a job spotting and cleaning this massive stain on creation. However, there are many not so lucky. Countless others in the Louisiana delta depend on the water for their daily bread. Until the oil spill, seniors, the poor, and other folks have existed by fishing a bucket of shrimp or crabs directly from the water or on the gleanings of their neighbors' daily catch. Now with oil-polluted water, meager income, and no hope for clean-up jobs, they face hunger and endure increased hardships.
As the oil still spews 60,000 barrels per day, faith is the only anchor for many. People have put their trust, hope, and existence in the only person they can: Jesus Christ. From Moss Point, Mississippi to Venice, Louisiana, the common request was, please pray. "We need you to be in prayer with us and for us," they asked.
They truly understand that if God is for us then no one can be against us. That's why my organization, in conjunction with the National Association of Evangelicals, is asking churches in America to set aside a portion of their worship on July 18 to pray for the Gulf region.
Please join us in prayer on July 18, 2010, as we seek God's blessing and transforming power to:
So many times we desire to rush to crisis regions as good Samaritans with hammers, shovels, and buckets. However, at this time that is not the need. Prayer is the greatest need, trusting in God as the one who knows best. Maybe the greatest lesson from this tragedy is to trust God for our daily bread -- even our daily energy needs -- and to move toward a life that leads us to new forms of clean energy that doesn't endanger what God has created.
He who rescued us from so deadly a peril will continue to rescue us; on him we have set our hope that he will rescue us again, as you also join in helping us by your prayers, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted to us through the prayers of many.
(2 Corinthians 1:10-11)

Small things mean a lot. The lack of financial literacy and good grasp of the concept of wealth is a big challenge to your personal financial independence and the economy at large. Even well educated people seem to lack basic wealth creation strategies. Below are some insights to unlock your wealth creation opportunities.
Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to work hard to get to the top. You need a career strategy by investing in the right skills (assuming you already have the minimum technical qualifications like a bachelor's degree).
There are things you are supposed to achieve after hard work over a long period of time of say five to 30 years. Things like wealth accumulation must be made systematically. That way, you establish a strong foundation to sustain your wealth.
We all agree, the number one challenge of most small businesses is not the lack of capital. It is the lack of customers or market..
If your business lacks customers, it will suffer from a cash flow problem which is critical for survival.
As police continue with the search and investigation for the villain Ugandans behind the murder of celebrated prosecutor Joan Kagezi, the story would be different if Uganda had a smart city.
A smart city is made up of integrated systems that seamlessly link into each other for improved service delivery and efficiency. The 'smart' concept refers to the ability to be in control of what is happening anytime.
There is a saying: "if you don't change, then change will change you." This saying is relevant to some businesses in Uganda that failed to adapt to changing times. As such, they have either vanished or their demise is in the pipeline. We take a look at some that vanished plus those in the pipeline.
There is tension and fear among sections of staff and employees of both Coca Cola and SABMiller or Nile breweries following the merger last December 2014.
The Coca-Cola Company together with British drinks giant SABMiller and Gutsche Family Investment, a South African private firm, joined forces to form a new bottler, Coca-Cola Beverages Africa.
Four out of ten Members of Parliament, especially those coming from upcountry stay in Kira town council. The same applies to some of the top business executives. This development has undoubtedly seen the area develop so fast threatening to take over the traditional premium residential areas like Muyega and Kololo.
Last month the executive director of National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) Dr. Tom Okurut told the Parliament's committee on Natural resources, that government would enforce the ban on the use, production and distribution of polythene bags starting 15th April 2015.
The push for a ban onkaveera has been going on for more than a decade now. Yet, discarded white, black, blue and green plastic bags are seen everywhere, on the streets, in peoples' gardens and clogging up drainage systems.
Striking oil is akin to striking gold. These are all precious and lucrative commodities that should translate into a better life for the nationals of the countries in which these commodities are found. In this article we look at what Uganda is doing to prepare its nationals to benefit from its oil resources.
Wherever oil has been found, hope for a better life has been raised. But we live in a world where the resource has brought so much wealth to a select few and so much desperation and disappointment to many, especially in the developing world.
The difference between a gorgeous wretched girl and an unattractive poor one is that the former can easily land a very liquid suitor to change her destiny. That is precisely what happened to UTL last month when it signed a 'code sharing agreement'with telecom giant Vodafone.
In 2010, when Airtel announced entry in the Uganda's Telecom market, MTN sent their then Marketing Manager, Isaac Nsereko, to India on a fact finding mission. His role was to undertake a competitiveness analysis on Airtel
Emerging from the muddled Celtel brand, Airtel continues to dream big with long-term vision of being a market leader in at least one East African country. With Safaricom in free rise in Kenya, their best bet would be Uganda. The question is: can Airtel really pull it off?
The ability to keep operating costs below the belt is critical to the success of financial institutions. The cost to income ratio is such critical measure in assessing profitability. Being a listed company, Stanbic is under pressure to perform. While Stanbic Bank remains the biggest bank, it is struggling with high opex (operating costs) which are eating into their profits. For example, cost to income ratio hit an all-time high 67% in 2010, 47.2% in 2011 and 40% in 2012.
Crane bank has got into partnership with the European Investment Bank (EIB) to make accessibility for affordable credit for expansion available to the small and medium sized firms. Through this partnership, the EIB released Euros 28m (Shs 94bn) to Crane bank for onward lending to local businesses.
Japheth Katto is the new Chairman of the Board of Stanbic Bank Uganda Limited. Mr. Katto is a consultant in corporate governance, capital markets, pensions and leadership development. He was until the end of 2013 the CEO of Capital Markets Authority (CMA) Uganda for 16 years.
Fast growing British-American Investments Company (Britam), has brought majority shares in, Real Insurance with operations in Tanzania, Malawi and Mozambique for $15.74 million.
Britam has grown tremendously from a small home based service insurance company to the leading diversified financial services provider in the region, with an asset base of over Kshs 55 billion, as at June 30, 2014.
In the words of John Robert Wooden, the famous former American basketball player and coach, "Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to stay there." It certainly is not by mistake but by certain intricate design that Jubilee insurance has topped the insurance charts yet again.
The Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) has released results for the year 2013 showing higher-than-projected sector growth due to impressive economic growth and declining lending rates.
The insurance sector saw great success in 2013 as more Ugandans began appreciating their need. Insurance premiums hit Ugx 435bn in the year 2013, a growth of 24% largely attributed to improved economic conditions with lower inflation and commercial bank interest rates.
The average lending rates declined to 22.7% at the end of September 2013 from highs of 27% in March 2012, boosting trade, investment and spending power during the year. The sector benefited from this growth.
Small things mean a lot. The lack of financial literacy and good grasp of the concept of wealth is a big challenge to your personal financial independence and the economy at large. Even well educated people seem to lack basic wealth creation strategies. Below are some insights to unlock your wealth creation opportunities.

There are things you are supposed to achieve after hard work over a long period of time of say five to 30 years. Things like wealth accumulation must be made systematically. That way, you establish a strong foundation to sustain your wealth.
Everyone has two natures. One wants us to advance, the other wants us to pull back. The one we cultivate and decide upon determines whom we become.
Luckily, with the right kind of training, every individual could be a success. Though, it's not in your best interest to wait and expect others to assist you on the road there.
"Tack and diplomacy are all about skill and sensitivity in dealing with others, particularity with difficult people and tricky situations. Understanding other people emphasizing with the way they think and fee is essential to effective relationships," said Olivia Kirtley, president of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and a director of several public companies.
Barbara Ofwono Buyondo, the proprietor of Victorious Schools is overall winner of MTN Women in Business SME CEO of the year 2015. The judges were impressed by her prepositions to grow her business from one small outfit to the current chain of Victorious schools.
Ms Barbara together with Lindsay Handler, the owner of Fenix International and Kainembabazi Sabiiti the Country manager of Amadeus Travel Company received a work trip to South Africa to meet the biggest SME and learn from them, MTN office Wi-Fi for six months, $10,000 from the Y'ello Rose program, CUG activation and free subscription for six months, five MTN Fixed lines ,and one year hosting at Mutundwe data center from MTN Uganda.

Awesome awesome app... especially to be free. I would pay for this app.

Was okay for the convention I attended.. Didn't seem to have a way of showing only the events that I starred. It also had no settings to show distances in metric and the built in map was broken as it would just bounce in and out from space into Australia and back out again.. It was semi hypnotic so it got a star for that :p

Its a good app but there isn't enough for my area to be useful to me. This is more aimed at professional business men and women who do a lot of traveling and marketing.

Official Tottenham Hotspur Match Breaks 2014/15
The White Hart Lane pitch has been home to some of the most exciting football in England. Tottenham Hotspur are famed for their crisp attacking verve, passed down from the likes of Glenn Hoddle, Ossie Ardiles and David Ginola; something that the current crop under manager Mauricio Pochettino hope to emulate.
With a top four finish in their sights, the loyal Spurs fans can't wait to set foot in the stands and get behind their team as they take to the pitch for the first home game of the 2014/15 season.
After another enthralling season in the Barclays Premier League, which saw Tottenham narrowly miss out on the top four, Spurs will once again be pushing for a place at the top table of English football and a spot in next season's UEFA Champions League. Pochettino worked wonders in the last campaign and we want all Tottenham Hotspur FC fans to be there to witness if he can bring his magic touch to North London.
Booking your official match break with Thomas Cook Sport, you'll receive a general admission ticket, as well as an overnight hotel in London. You can savour the atmosphere and cheer the players right to the end of the 90 minutes before relaxing back in your hotel and enjoying the sights and sounds of the capital.
The Spurs faithful will be right behind their team from the second they take to the pitch. Chants of "when the Spurs go marching in" will ring round the stadium as players' new and old look to put the other Premier League teams to the sword. The stadium has a stunning atmosphere, you need to hear it and see it to believe it.
