- There is also a Theophilus of Alexandria (c. A.D. 412).

|13 October
Theophilus, Patriarch of Antioch[1], succeeded Eros c. 169, and was succeeded by Maximus I c.183, according to Henry Fynes Clinton[2], but these dates are only approximations. His death probably occurred between 183 - 185[3].
We gather from his writings (the only remaining being his apology to Autolycus) that he was born a pagan, not far from the Tigris and Euphrates, and was led to embrace Christianity by studying the Holy Scriptures, especially the prophetical books[4]. He makes no reference to his office in his existing writings, nor is any other fact in his life recorded. Eusebius, however, speaks of the zeal which he and the other chief shepherds displayed in driving away the heretics who were attacking Christ's flock, with special mention of his work against Marcion[5]. He made contributions to the departments of Christian literature, polemics, exegetics, and apologetics. William Sanday[6] describes him as "one of the precursors of that group of writers who, from Irenaeus to Cyprian, not only break the obscurity which rests on the earliest history of the Christian church, but alike in the East and in the West carry it to the front in literary eminence, and distance all their heathen contemporaries".

Eusebius and Jerome mention numerous works of Theophilus existing in their time. They are:
- the existing Apologia addressed to Autolycus;
- a work against the heresy of Hermogenes;
- against that of Marcion;
- some catechetical writings;
- Jerome also mentions having read some commentaries on the gospel and on Proverbs, which bore Theophilus's name, but which he regarded as inconsistent with the elegance and style of his other works.
The Apologia ad Autolycum
The one undoubted extant work of Theophilus is his Apologia ad Autolycum, in three books. Its ostensible object is to convince a pagan friend, Autolycus, a man of great learning and an earnest seeker after truth, of the divine authority of the Christian religion, while at the same time he exhibits the falsehood and absurdity of paganism. His arguments, drawn almost entirely from the Old Testament, with but very scanty references to the New Testament, are largely chronological. He makes the truth of Christianity depend on his demonstration that the books of the Old Testament were long anterior to the writings of the Greeks and were divinely inspired. Whatever truth the pagan authors contain he regards as borrowed from Moses and the prophets, who alone declare God's revelation to man. He contrasts the perfect consistency of the divine oracles, which he regards as a convincing proof of their inspiration, with the inconsistencies of the pagan philosophers. He contrasts the account of the creation of the universe and of man, on which, together with the history contained in the earlier chapters of Genesis, he comments at great length but with singularly little intelligence, with the statements of Plato, "reputed the wisest of all the Greeks"[7], of Aratus, who had the insight to assert that the earth was spherical[8], and other Greek writers on whom he pours contempt as mere ignorant retailers of stolen goods. He supplies a series of dates, beginning with Adam and ending with Marcus Aurelius, who had died shortly before he wrote, thus dating this work to the years of the reign of Commodus. Theophilus regards the Sibylline books that were still in Rome as authentic and inspired productions, quoting the Sibylline oracles (scholars dispute that these are the same) largely as declaring the same truths with the prophets. The omission by the Greeks of all mention of the Old Testament from which they draw all their wisdom, is ascribed to a self-chosen blindness in refusing to recognize the only God and in persecuting the followers of the only fountain of truth.[9] He can recognize in them no aspirations after the divine life, no earnest gropings after truth, no gleams of the all-illumining light. The pagan religion was a mere worship of idols, bearing the names of dead men. Almost the only point in which he will allow the pagan writers to be in harmony with revealed truth is in the doctrine of retribution and punishment after death for sins committed in life.[10] Henry Wace believes "the literary character of the Apologia deserves commendation. The style is characterized by dignity and refinement. It is clear and forcible. The diction is pure and well chosen. Theophilus also displays wide and multifarious though superficial reading, and a familiar acquaintance with the most celebrated Greek writers. His quotations are numerous and varied." However, Henry Chadwick in his The Early Church (London, 1967) describes the Apologia as "a rambling defence of Christianity". Donaldson is likewise harsh in his History of Christian Literature, pointing out Theophilus's many blunders, which include misquoting Plato several times[11], ranking Zopyrus among the Greeks[12], and speaking of Pausanias as having only run a risk of starvation instead of being actually starved to death in the temple of Minerva.
Theophilus's critical powers were not above his age. He adopts Herodotus's derivation[13] of qeus from tiqhmi, since God set all things in order, comparing with it that of Plato[14] from qeein, because the Deity is ever in motion.[15] He asserts that Satan is called the dragon (Greek drakon) on account of his having revolted apodedrakenai from God[16], and traces the Bacchanalian cry "Evoe" to the name of Eve as the first sinner.[17] His physical theories are equally embarrassing. He ridicules those who maintain the spherical form of the earth[18] and asserts that it is a flat surface covered by the heavens as by a domical vault.[19] His exegesis is based on allegories usually of the most arbitrary character. He makes no attempt to determine the real meaning of a passage, but seeks to find some recondite spiritual truth, a method which often leads him to great absurdities. He discovers the reason of blood coagulating on the surface of the ground in the divine word to Cain[20], the earth struck with terror refusing to drink it in.
Theophilus's testimony to the Old Testament is copious. He quotes very largely from the Pentateuch and to a smaller extent from the other historical books. His references to Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah, and Jeremiah are copious, and he quotes from Ezekiel, Hosea and other minor prophets. His direct evidence respecting the canon of the New Testament does not go much beyond a few precepts from the Sermon on the Mount[21], a possible quotation from Luke 18:27[22], and quotations from Romans, 1 Corinthians, and 1 Timothy. More important is a distinct citation from the opening of the Gospel of St. John (1:1-3), mentioning the evangelist by name, as one of the inspired men by whom the Holy Scriptures were written[23] The use of a metaphor found in 2 Peter 1:19 bears on the date of that epistle. According to Eusebius, Theophilus quoted the Book of Revelation in his work against Hermogenes; a very precarious allusion has been seen in ii. 28, cf. Revelation 12:3, 7, etc. A full index of these and other possible references to the Old and New Testament is given by Otto[24] Theophilus transcribes a considerable portion of Genesis chapters 1-3 with his own allegorizing comments upon the successive work of the creation week. The sun is the image of God; the moon of man, whose death and resurrection are prefigured by the monthly changes of that luminary. The first three days before the creation of the heavenly bodies are types of the Trinity (the Greek term used by Theophilus is τριας, trias). Theophilus wrote of "the Trinity (τριας, trias) of God (the Father), His Word (the Son) and His Wisdom (Holy Spirit)".[25] This is the first place in Christian writings where the Greek term τριας (trias) is known to occur with reference to the doctrine of the for "Trinity".[26]
The silence regarding his Apology in the East is remarkable; we fail to find the work mentioned or quoted by Greek writers before the time of Eusebius. Several passages in the works of Irenaeus show an undoubted relationship to passages in one small section of the Apologia[27], but Harnack thinks it probable that the quotations, limited to two chapters, are not taken from the Apologia, but from Theophilus's work against Marcion[28] In the West there are a few references to the Autolycus. It is quoted by Lactantius[29] under the title Liber de Temporibus ad Autolycum. There is a passage first cited by Maranus in Novatian[30] which shows great similarity to the language of Theophilus.[31] In the next century the book is mentioned by Gennadius[32] as "tres libelli de fide." He found them attributed to Theophilus of Alexandria, but the disparity of style caused him to question the authorship. The notice of Theophilus by Jerome has been already referred to. Henry Dodwell[33] found internal evidence, in the reference to existing persecutions and a supposed reference to Origen and his followers, for assigning the work to a younger Theophilus who perished in the reign of Septimius Severus. His arguments have been carefully examined by Tillemont[34], William Cave[35], Donaldson[36], and Harnack[37], and the received authorship fully established.[38]
Jacques Paul Migne's Patrologia Graeca[39], and a small edition (Cambridge 1852) by W. G. Humphry. Johann Carl Theodor von Otto's edition in the Corpus apologetarum christianorum saeculi secundi vol. ii. (Jena, 1861) is by far the most complete and useful. English translations by Joseph Betty (Oxford 1722), W. B. Flower (London, 1860), and Marcus Dods (Clark's Ante-Nicene Library).

I found the Costco thread unwieldy to navigate so decided to put this in a separate thread.
I was at the Billy Bishop Way Costco in North York a couple days ago and noticed they now have Kirkland brand organic canned tomatoes. I've never seen them before. Unfortunately the can did not say BPA-free anywhere on it (but the the substitutes they use for BPA in cans haven't even been tested so they could be the same or worse).
Now if they could only get some wild shrimp instead of the Asian shrimp of various kinds they always offer which are raised in those chemically cleaned cesspools.

2014 Mazda6 Named Canadian Car of the Year
The Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) has chosen the 2014 Mazda6 as the overall winner of Canadian Car of the Year.
The new Mazda6 beat out its stablemate, the Mazda3, and the 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray to take the honors. To qualify for the overall award, the Mazda6 first had to win its original category, best new family car under $30,000.
The 2014 Mazda6 was also a nominee in AutoGuide's 2014 Car of the Year awards.
SEE ALSO: Autoguide.com 2014 Car of the Year Finalist – Mazda6
To pick the car of the year, about 80 Canadian auto journalists gather ever year for an event known as 'Test Fest,' where each car is tested back-to-back against its rivals. Judges are asked to score each car in a number of categories, and the decision comes from points awarded.
The scores are then submitted to independent auditor KPMG, who formulate the final results.

My husband and I chose this hotel because the price was reasonable and it was close to the Metro since we were going into Washington DC the next day. We were greeted at the front desk by Kellie and we both agreed that every hotel should have a Kellie! She was so personable and helpful with everything. We weren't sure about parking for the Metro so she advised that we take their shuttle service and leave our car there. She even offered to keep her eye on it parked out front. Our room was very clean and comfortable and offered everything we needed. The shuttle took us right to the Metro. Our shuttle driver was very personable and helpful also.
When we return to the area, we will definitely stay here again and hope to see Kellie with her beautiful smile behind the front desk!

This hotel in Livermore is very nice and well kept. Everything was great except for a couple of minor details. The hallways were very wide and that is a great idea so that people walking through are not crowded, even with luggage carts. However the hallways were kept at about 62 - 64 degrees and coming back from the pool was a chilling experience. Also the ice machines are in the main hallways and next to vending machines that talk and light up when you walk past. Somewhat noisy and annoying. If they moved them to a side room it would be better. It was hot all week (in the upper 90's) but the pool was very cold and even after being in the sun all day was almost too cold to enjoy. I could stay in for a minute or so but had to get out even though the outside temp that day was 99 degrees. It also needed some work on the bottom as a couple of spots were worn away and hard on the feet. But overall a great place to stay as it is easy access to highway and a gas station around the corner. Downtown only a short ride away and there are a lot of great places to eat in Livermore at very reasonable prices.

text: What Are Dates Good For? 0 Disponible en Español Distinguished Dates Botanical name: Phoenix dactylifera While dates don't appear to be particularly special with their oddly wrinkled, brown exterior, they're satisfyingly chewy and flavorful. Undoubtedly a favorite since the Garden of Eden, dates are considered a drupe because they contain a single pit or stone at the center. Date palms, which produce these little beauties, were brought to America's Western coast by Spanish missionaries in the late 1700s. Medjool dates, which originated in Morocco, were introduced in the U.S. in 1927 when 11 shoots were placed in quarantine in Nevada for seven years. The nine plants that survived were taken to Southern California in 1935, where 24 offshoots were planted in 1944. Reportedly the most labor intensive to grow and harvest, medjools are not only one of the most prominent varieties – they are the only one that can be picked and eaten fresh. Date palms begin to bear fruit at three to five years, and are fully mature at 12 years. Cultivated in arid regions of the world, wild populations can still be found around Jordan and the border between Iran and Iraq. Popular uses around the world include date vinegar, chutney, date paste for bakery products, flavorings and roasted whole date seeds. The tree's buds (hearts of palm) are tasty additions to salads. Health Benefits of Dates When it comes to the number of minerals, vitamins, and health-benefiting phytonutrients in dates, suffice it to say there are a lot of them. First and foremost, they're easily digested, allowing your body to make full use of their goodness. Dietary fiber in dates helps to move waste smoothly through your colon and helps prevent LDL (bad) cholesterol absorption by binding with substances containing cancer-causing chemicals. The iron content, a component of hemoglobin in red blood cells, determines the balance of oxygen in the blood. Potassium, an electrolyte, helps control your heart rate and blood pressure. B-vitamins contained in dates, such as the carotenes lutein and zeaxanthin, absorb into the retina to maintain optimal light-filtering functions and protect against macular degeneration. Want more? They contain vitamins A and K. Vitamin A protects the eyes, maintains healthy skin and mucus membranes, and even protects the lungs and mouth from developing cancer. Tannins, which are flavonoids as well as polyphenolic antioxidants, fight infection and inflammation and help prevent excessive bleeding (anti-hemorrhagic). Vitamin K is a blood coagulant that also helps metabolize your bones. Copper, magnesium, manganese, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), niacin, pantothenic acid, and riboflavin are also present in dates and provide their own unique preventive and healing functions. Together, these cofactors help your body metabolize carbohydrates, protein, and fats. Eating dates in moderation can contribute to many health benefits, such as protecting against damage to cells from free radicals, helping preventing a stroke, coronary heart disease and the development of colon, prostate, breast, endometrial, lung, and pancreatic cancers.

Studies Done on Dates Cadmium, a well-known testicular toxicant, was tested against date palm pollen extract for therapeutic potential and ability to avert reproductive damage. The results supported scientists' hypothesis that not only are the testicles vulnerable to cadmium toxins, but that date palm pollen extract treatment can also amend its deleterious effects, probably by activating testicular endocrine and antioxidant systems.1 Another study reported the most prominent health benefits of dates: there are at least 15 minerals in dates, including selenium, an element believed to help prevent cancer and important in immune function, protein, containing 23 types of amino acids, some of which are not present in the most popular fruits, such as oranges, apples, and bananas. Unsaturated fatty acids include palmitoleic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids. The study concluded that dates could be considered a nearly ideal food, with a wide range of essential nutrients and potential health benefits.2 Dates Healthy Recipe: Date Butter Ingredients: ✓ 2 cups of dates ✓ 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice ✓ Water ✓ ¼ tsp. cinnamon ✓ ¼ ground nutmeg ✓ ¼ ground cloves ✓ ¼ cup toasted pine nuts Procedure: Place dates in a saucepan and add water to cover two-thirds of the fruit. Add lemon juice. Bring to a rolling boil, cover with a lid part-way to allow steam to escape. Reduce heat to low. Depending on ingredients, cook time and moisture, it may take anywhere from 10-30 minutes to reach the right consistency, which is evidenced when a tablespoon can stand straight up in the middle of the mixture without falling to the side. Cool mixture a bit then place in a food processor and process until smooth. It may have a few lumps, but that's okay! Store in refrigerator for up to a few weeks and in freezer indefinitely. Wonderful on toast or even added to baked breads, cakes, etc. Dates Fun Facts Dates were mentioned several times in the Bible, probably ancestors to the oldest-known seed planted successfully in modern times. In 1963, a date palm seed was discovered at Masada, an ancient fortress where, in 70 A.D., a large group of Jewish families killed themselves rather than face capture by the Romans. Planted in January 2005, the ancient date palm, named "Methuselah," is now four feet tall. Summary From the primeval banks of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, the date palm has provided the Phoenix dactylifera - the botanical name for dates - as an important food and medicinal source throughout the world. Iron for your blood, fiber for roughage, vitamin A for your eyes, potassium for your heart, B-vitamins, tannins - these are just a few of the many nutrients in dates, making them one of the healthiest foods in the world. They have a noble history that healers have used through centuries for many of the same properties they're used for today. Dates are a wonderful snack all by themselves. But make sure you eat them in moderation, as fruits can contain high levels of fructose that can harm your health. For a new twist, try stuffing them with a mixture of chopped raw almonds and walnuts, and raw cream cheese for a delicious, nutritious – and completely unique – hors d'oeuvre.

Saturn Minerals Inc. has completed its third 2D seismic program over Petroleum Exploration Permit 71 (the 'Little Swan Property') consisting of 102,758 Hectares in the northern Williston Basin in eastern Saskatchewan. The seismic program was designed to evaluate the deeper Ordovician-Cambrian targets originally identified as having hydrocarbon potential from geologic mapping.
The seismic program consisted of 2 lines of 2D data totaling 27 km and are intended to identify potential structural and stratigraphic traps that could accumulate economic amounts of oil in well-known oil producing formations deeper than that those in which Saturn initially encountered signs of oil.
In 2011 approximately 60 km northeast of the current seismic program, Saturn was conducting an exploratory drill program targeting shallow coal seams up to a maximum depth of 120 meters. During this program, Saturn encountered a section of dolomitic limestone of Devonian age that contained degraded oil, indicating that oil had migrated through the system. This oil show was subsequently identified as sub-surface oil seep and an important indication of an active oil system within this part of the northern Williston Basin.

Feedback from the students.
By Duncan Echelson (The United States of America)
February 15th, 2015
Hiro Yamada is my Lindy Hop teacher and that is very fortunate for me. He is that rare combination of talented dancer and teacher who is able to instruct with great skill, patience and keen powers of observation. He provides precise advice tailored for each of his students.
For the past three and a half months, I have been studying and practicing Lindy hop in Hiro and Yuko's group lessons on Sunday afternoons and taking private lessons with Hiro. The combination of group lessons and private lessons has been working quite well.
In the group lessons, you learn the outlines of dance steps and can practice with a variety of partners. In the private lessons, Hiro helps you understand the routines with greater precision. Moreover, in the private lessons, each routine is practiced repeatedly under his watchful eye and corrected gently, but firmly. Of course, you are able to ask questions and receive clear answers. Hiro speaks English very well.
Let me explain that I started studying Lindy Hop at a rather advanced age (70 years old) and have many bad dance habits from decades of 'just doin it.' In addition, I rather stubbornly demand to go at my own turtle's pace. Hiro has the patience and good nature to work successfully with someone like me.
When I return to Texas, I will continue my dance studies with other teachers while looking forward to my return to Japan to study more with Hiro. I will also be looking forward to returning to the group lessons where the graceful and knowledgeable Yuko Kato teaches with Hiro and so many wonderful students practice. All in the group are very accepting and helpful.
The private lessons take place at Hiro's Necola dance studio which has an excellent dance floor and large mirrors. It is conveniently located in the center of Tokyo within easy walking distance of two subway stations. The studio is located right across the street from a wonderful large garden with a rich history.
Without hesitation, I recommend Hiro Yamada's group and private lessons to anyone who wants to study the fun and dynamic Lindy Hop.
If you have any questions or concerns, you have my permission to ask Hiro for my contact information.
P.S. Hiro and Yuko also organize great dance parties.
By Kemper Talley (The United States of America)
April 21st, 2012
When I found out that I would be traveling to Tokyo for a business trip, I also looked into the swing dancing I could do there. I talked to several people back in the states, and they told me that there was a scene in Tokyo. I looked up the TSDS in advance and e-mailed Hiro about the dancing. He responded with a very welcoming e-mail and provided all of the details I needed!
It took me quite a while to find the place, but when I arrived at the swing dance lesson on Sunday I was greeted warmly. Everyone was warming up already since I had arrived late, but almost everyone stopped to talk to me; it was great! After warming up, Hiro proceeded to lead the lesson off with basic movement. I thought it was going to be very easy and just practicing footwork. Little did I realize that the concept of basic movement I had was very different from Hiro's and everyone else in the room! It was hard work to move my body in the precise ways that the lesson demanded. This really stretched my understanding of what it meant to be a dancer rather than just someone who was pulling off moves.
The technique work that was the focus of the first 45 minutes of the lesson was by far the most challenging technique work I had ever done. I learned a lot from it, and I have taken it back to my scene in Knoxville, Tennessee in the USA. Everyone I have talked to about the lessons have also talked about how much the basic movement helps their dancing. The focus on my basic movement so that everything else I do in my dancing becomes more controlled and precise was taught by Hiro really well, and it will probably shape my dancing for the rest of my life.
The next lessons were about Lindy hop, and while I felt they were easier, I still learned many things and enjoyed the lesson! I had to focus on putting what I had just learned about basic movement, frame, and weight shifts into my dancing. I didn't realize how much of my dancing was affected by these things until it was pointed out.
I really enjoyed the private lesson as well. Yuko and Hiro both worked on correcting my posture and movement so that things felt more natural. This was especially true of the swing out. I learned a lot about stretching out and presenting the moves, not just leading them. The positions of my feet on the floor and how the connection was communicated through my arms were some areas that I needed help on, and both Hiro and Yuko were very helpful! While the moves I was working on were basic, getting the right technique down was vital to making everything look and feel better!
After the public and private lessons, I had planned to go to Kyoto. Hiro offered to take me to the Tokyo train station! The three of us: Yuko, Hiro, and myself; went to the station and a restaurant! It was really nice to have someone explain a lot of the dishes to me and help me try so many different things! The hospitality of Hiro and Yuko was wonderful!
When I came back to Tokyo from Kyoto, I went to the Wednesday night dance. It took me a little while to find as well, but it was a wonderful venue! I really enjoyed dancing with the people in Tokyo. Everyone was very kind and a lot of fun to dance with! I was happy to be able to use what I had learned in the lessons and to continue working on everything. I won't ever forget my time with the TSDS in Tokyo. I had so much fun and learned so much. It made me even more passionate about swing dancing, and I have been able to take what I have learned and pass it on to others!
I hope to come back to Japan in the coming years, and I especially look forward to coming back to the TSDS, the wonderful people, Hiro, Yuko, and all of the great dancing!
By Murrough OBrien (The United Kingdom)
April 29th, 2010
I came to Japan for 3-month visit to deepen my practice of Japanese martial arts, but I also felt the need to start dancing, as this is something I – as a rule – don't do. I found the TSDS website quite by chance and, having been curious to try swing in the past, I thought I would go along and give it a go, with promises of 'English spoken'.
I came to a class in a nicely sized studio, and was warmly received. I found Hiro-san to be an incredibly good teacher. I had no prior knowledge of dance teachers, but he has incredible body control and is very energetic, helpful and generous with his knowledge and experience. Personally, having a background in martial arts, but also having postural trouble following an accident, I found his technical direction helped me address the issue and become more acutely aware of how I use my body/musculature/skeletal structure. And while this sounds all very intricate, the class was lots and lots of fun, too!
Yuko-san – who assists – is also very friendly and a great teacher in her own right. As swing is led by the man, it is quite hard to learn how to do anything without a patient partner. She was very patient and very helpful, and adept at 'leading' me to lead by being such an aware follow. Both of them are very patient, but will put your posture and footwork right, to ensure good basics which will ultimately lead to good dancing. They work very well together as a team, and in the brief glimpses of them dancing together to demonstrate technique, you can see they share great communication and understanding.
I leave Japan next week, so no more of their class for me, but I will send people to TSDS classes from London, and I will definitely miss my Sunday afternoon pastime, and all the lovely members of the class.
Go! Swing out!

Local Media reports said that Boycott will testify in favour of the Pakistan skipper in the ICC hearing.
'The Times' reported that Boycott will appear before match refree Ranjan Madugalle, who will conduct the hearing, and is expected to say that the condition of the ball in the forfeited Oval Test was not altered deliberately.
Boycott, who has already advocated Inzamam's acquittal in the matter, will tell Madugalle that the charges against the Pakistan captain cannot be proved conclusively as their was little evidence to suggest that the ball's condition was changed illegally.

The British Club Bangkok
….. a short history
2004 and beyond
The first Hundred Years saw a slow pace of change for a world which itself moved slowly – the next hundred years would no doubt progress faster and further.
In 2005 the Club saw the election of a woman, Angela Daniel, as the Club's chairman – the first woman in 102 years – something the founders would never have envisaged in their just post Victorian world, and in 2007 the first non-British person took the chairmanship, Dr. Stuart Blacksell, an Australian.
Since the early post-war days, the Club has always opened its doors to community groups, and in 2005 we made this "official' by creating a constitutional entity called 'Associated Groups' – community organisations that are allowed to use the Club premises on a regular basis – from the four Loyal Societies to the Bangkok Community Theatre, from Bangkok Mothers and Babies International and the Bangkok Music Society to the Society of Professional Engineers in Thailand – over thirty groups in all.
In 2006 the Club sought to reinvent its positioning in the expatriate market after recognising increased competition from bars, restaurants and health clubs, and it became marketed as "an International Club for Family and Friends". Also in 2006, a Club Development Master Plan was agreed by members to reflect this more familial orientation. Unfortunately this plan was poorly delivered by contractors and project managers – the first phase saw The 'Churchill Bar' move into the 'Lord's Dining Room', and 'The Verandah' café took over the old Churchill Bar, but neither was to members' satisfaction and far exceeded the budgets. The remainder of the Master Plan was abandoned. In 2008 an All-Weather Court was added to the Club's facilities.
As we approached the end of the first decade of the 21st Century, the Club membership was starting to decline. Expatriates coming to Thailand were no longer executives on huge salary packages which included a Club membership, but were here on one or two years contracts, often working in education or on a consultancy basis … the Club needed to change to stay relevant. Thus in 2010 we launched an Annual Membership scheme enabling both those on short term appointments to join the Club and those on lower salaries to "join over six years". Annual Membership was an amazing success, bringing new life and energy to the Club and to date almost 15% of our Club membership are Annual Members.
With this surge of 'new life' came the opportunity to re-evaluate where we are in the "market-place" so in celebration of its Ninth Cycle of Existence (108 years) in 2011, the Club relaunched itself as "the social, sports and cultural centre for the English-speaking community in Bangkok", emphasising what differentiates us from all the competition with our membership, our range of facilities, our associated and community groups, our traditions and our history.
The year 2012 was a magnificent year both in the history of the Commonwealth Realm and that of our Club. First of all, it was H.M. Queen Elizabeth II's Jubilee year, and in her honour the Club organised a Diamond Jubilee Fête, opening its gates and grounds to Commonwealth citizens, community groups, and businesses. With over 70 community, educational, charitable and commercial stalls offering a vast range of merchandise, activities and services, there was live music, entertainment, pony rides, arts, crafts, games, food and refreshments for all who attended. The British Ambassador led the toasts to both the Thai and British monarchs respectively, and over 1,000 people enjoyed the afternoon and evening which included UK Diamond Jubilee celebrations live from London on television projected on the Back Lawn. Secondly, it was the London Olympic games which saw our country do proud, and finally and most significantly, the Club, after decades of expatriate male management took the bold step forward of appointing Mrs Premrudee Tanyaluck as the first female, and also the first Thai, General Manager.
Also in 2012, the positive effects of Annual Membership coupled with years of good financial acumen allowed the Club to embark on a new direction of 'Enhancement Maintenance', and in that year we opened an upgraded Sala restaurant & bar, a fully retiled and landscaped swimming pool (designed to celebrate the Olympics), an upgraded poolside kitchen and an enlarged Fitness Centre. The enhancements are continuing in 2013 with the opening of the Pétanque court in March and the new enclosed Multiple-Purpose Court in May, soon after holding our Decquicentennial Fête at the end of April which celebrated the first 110 years of our Club's existence. A complete refit of the Main Kitchen and Clubhouse upper rooms was also completed in 2013. It is planned that 2014 will see a full enhancement of the family poolside area as well as the squash and massage facilities.
That is the story so far for our first 110 years - what will the next 110 years hold? One cannot say, except that the British Club Bangkok will strive to meet the needs of the English-speaking community in Bangkok for the foreseeable future and for as long as it is feasible so to do.

US clears SM-6 for international sales
Sales of Raytheon's Standard Missile 6 (SM-6) have been approved by the US government to several international customers, the company announced on 10 January.
Of the unnamed customers, many are looking to procure SM-6 to boost their shipbuilding programmes.
Using both active and semi-active guidance modes and advanced fusing techniques, SM-6 delivers multi-mission capability for long range fleet air defence, sea-based terminal defence, and anti-surface warfare.
The missile provides US Navy vessels with extended-range protection against fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles in the terminal phase of flight.
SM-6 incorporates the advanced signal processing and guidance control capabilities from Raytheon's Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile.
Mike Campisi, SM-6 senior program director, said: 'The flexibility of this multi-mission effector drives significant savings for our partners and allies; it's the exact opposite of a boutique missile.'

COLOURFUL chicks are winging their way to Ilkley to help raise funds for carers across the district.
For the tenth year running a dedicated team of volunteer knitters at Yorkshire charity Carers' Resource has created a range of special woollen chick egg covers for its Easter appeal.
Some 1,200 chicks have been knitted in bright colours and decorated with hats, feathers and accessories, and are on sale in Carers' Resource offices and at Ilkley Moor Medical Practice, Springs Lane, Ilkley.
Money raised helps ensure ongoing support for unpaid carers - people who look after a relative or friend who has an illness, frailty, disability or addiction.
This year's theme is 'all colours of the rainbow' and they are on sale at £2 each, which includes a Cadbury crème egg.
In the past nine years 12,250 have been sold, raising £19,429, and previous themes have included Le Grant Depart and the Queen's 90th birthday celebrations last year.
Chris Whiley, Director at Carers' Resource, was delighted a knitter modelled a chick on her distinctive hairstyle. "The Easter creations are a fun way to raise funds for carers as well as a great way for us to spread the word about the support we offer to carers," she said. "Thanks to all the knitters for their wonderful support and we hope this year's colourful and eye-catching batch will raise a cracking total."
Confectionary giant Cadbury has once again generously supported the drive by donating free crème eggs for the egg covers.

Is agreement entered into after getting possession valid?
A reputed builder in Noida has given possession of the Flat without obtaining clearance certificate from Noida Development Authority due to the Nexus between both. The Realtor has not entered into any agreement before giving possession. One month after giving possession, he has executed an agreement with me.
Now, the Realtor says that my complaint in the New Delhi Consumer Forum is to be dismissed as I can only go for arbitration with a single arbitrator appointed by him as per a clause contained in the Agreement entered with them.
Whether agreement executed after possession is valid?
Please let us know the facts of the complaint that you have filed in the Consumer Forum so as to enable us to guide you properly.
Yes, the agreement executed after possession shall be valid and the fact that it has an arbitration clause then the courts shall be reluctant to interfere.
However, it essential to know the facts of the consumer complaint because if the said subject matter is not covered within the arbitration clause, and the complaint is in the capacity of the consumer then the Court may allow the said complaint.
Kindly contact us for any further details and action.

When Syrian President Bashar al Assad addressed the Syrian Parliament for the first time since last month's parliamentary elections, he appeared defensive on his government's stance of combating terror and violence. Unmoved by scathing criticism his regime faces from international community, the president said that he was at 'real war' with external forces.
The 15-month old revolt against Assad regime has resulted in the death of up to 13,000 people, as quoted by activist groups. However, it was the fresh series of children and women's brutal killings in Houla that actually fueled the urgency for resolving the crisis. But Assad is simply in mood of shifting the rubble of destruction on foreign shoulders.
Regarding the Houla massacre he clearly stated that not even 'monsters' would commit such a gruesome act. Well, on the basis of neutrality there have been incidents reported which signify the presence of foreign forces trying to play their usual clandestine role in the manipulation of state affairs.
In this particular context two of Britain's Special Forces men were captured by Syrian authorities who were released following a high-level intervention by the British Government. The officials were strictly instructed not to engage in any firefight since they were not at war with Syria, but there are intelligence reports that special British ops are on ground, and are providing rebels every possible support when it comes to arms and ammunition.
The very presence does show that they were up to no good, at least for the Assad regime. Similarly, the French have also been actively participating when it comes to intervention process.
Over 13 French officials were captured by Syria last month under charges of supplying anti-aircraft missiles to the opposition forces. The awkward silence of France on the issue, could not help more in helping people understand that the West is once again trying to replicate the model it applied to sack Libya.
Ironically, Assad and his atrocious measures against his own people have provided foreign forces every possible opportunity for the expansion of their covert operations. The leader of Syria believes himself to be a doctor who is performing a messy emergency surgery, but does not have blood on his hands since he is trying to save a patient.
"When a surgeon in an operating room ... cuts and cleans and amputates, and the wound bleeds, do we say to him your hands are stained with blood?" "Or do we thank him for saving the patient?" the people of Syria would like to correct his words by replacing operating room with slaughter house.
The massacre and oppression they have witnessed being committed by the Assad's deathly squad known as The Shabiha does make the correction very necessary. Even in the Houla massacre it is The Shabiha militia and its terrifying members who are being blamed for butchering 108 people including children and women.
These pro-Assad thugs went through the village, house to house and slit the throats of anyone they came across. A week later these callous and merciless brutes pulled 12 factory workers off a bus in the town of Qusayr, tied their hands behind their backs, and shot them straight through the head. The Shabiha force with its combination of brute strength and blind allegiance to the regime has emerged as the latest force synonymous to terror. Maybe it is time for President Assad to revise the understanding he has about the word 'doctor' and their responsibilities.
Like a dictator, he can definitely refer to himself as a doctor, lifesaver, savior or any other term he likes. However, with a force and team like The Shabiha in his acclaimed operation room, all Assad would be left with, once the operation ends, would be a skyscraper of corpses.

ZTE launches 4K p60 Ultra HD STB; Delivers industry's best image quality
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Shenzhen, China - ZTE Corporation ("ZTE") (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share stock code: 000063.SZ), a publicly-listed global provider of telecommunications equipment, network solutions and mobile devices, has launched its 4K p60 Ultra HD set top box (STB), the ZXV10 B803, at Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona.
The ZXV10 B803 is designed based on the Broadcom BCM 7252 chip, and supports the 4Kx2KP60 decoding capability, which can decode Ultra HD video with the maximum resolution of 3840x2160. In comparison to traditional HD Internet STBs, the 4K UHD STB can display more vivid and precise images to significantly enhance the user experience.
4K video technology (also named as 2160p) is a new type of resolution standard. Its UHDTV specification can deliver a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels, and the maximum Full Aperture 4K specification reaches 4096x3112. In comparison to the current mainstream 1080p resolution of 1920x1080, 4K can provide over four times the image definition quality. In the future, 4K HD TV sets will be very popular, and the 4K HD and HEVC decoding technologies will help raise the HD market tide. However, in the current market, 4K chips are mainly 4KP30 - only a few chips can support 4KP60. The ZTE ZXV10 B803 STB uses a 4KP60 chip, making it one of the first HD STBs to support 4KP60.
Fang Hui, Deputy President of ZTE, said: "As a global leader in the IPTV market, ZTE offers a complete series of Internet STB products across the range of available resolutions, and is focusing strongly on the development of high-end STB products. This 4KP60 HD STB product will help build our presence in the high end market." The ZTE ZXV10 B803 also supports the H.265 format. H.265 is the next generation super HD code transmission specification, which delivers encoded video using half the bandwidth of the previous generation (H.264), with the same quality. The H.265 standard will gradually replace H.264 to become the mainstream standard of the next generation of video transmission.
The ZTE ZXV10 B803 also has a powerful CPU with a processing capability of 10k DMIPS (Dhrystone million instructions per second), enabling faster processing and a better user experience in comparison to current mainstream HD Internet STBs.
About ZTE ZTE is a publicly-listed global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions with the most comprehensive product range covering virtually every telecommunications sector, including wireless, access & bearer, VAS, terminals and professional services. The company delivers innovative, custom-made products and services to over 500 operators in more than 160 countries, helping them to meet the changing needs of their customers while growing revenue. ZTE commits 10 per cent of its annual revenue to research and development and has leadership roles in several international bodies devoted to developing telecommunications industry standards. ZTE is committed to corporate social responsibility and is a member of the UN Global Compact. The company is China's only listed telecom manufacturer that is publicly traded on both the Hong Kong and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share stock code: 000063.SZ).

The nice thing about traveling without concrete plans or a schedule is the freedom it has given us to improvise and choose our own adventure. It's that freedom that allowed to us extend our stay in Hue after some nasty food poisoning, and may have found us the greatest way to tour the Mekong Delta region. More on that another time.
We're currently in the small central highlands city of Dalat. It was founded by some French dude looking to beat the heat of the lowland summers. While it offers a respite from the already seething heat, there is little else to do in the town. It's nice for that reason, too. I've been a bit travel weary after a month of constantly moving, and just needed a day or two to recuperate. The chilly nights have been excellent for sleep, and probably the last we'll need a blanket for the remainder of our trip. In mid-March, while we were in the North, Saigon was already registering temps of 90+ degrees F.
Tomorrow we leave for a beach town south of Nha Trang for some time in the surf and sun, before heading into the Mekong Delta for 5 days. Our last stop is Ho Chi Minh City. I promise to start posting pictures as soon as we get to Seattle. Well, maybe after a day of dealing with jet lag - sleeping.
- Going to see the well-preserved Ho Chi Minh (aka Uncle Ho).
- Touring a portion of the central highlands on the back of a motorbike.
- Having clothing tailor-made in Hoi An.
Not so good:
- The devious soy milk that kept me in a hotel bathroom for 2-days.
- The equally devious wine that kept Alex in a hotel bathroom.
- The fruit & postcard hawkers on Hoi An's beach that felt Alex was made of money (I think I need to carry a paper with the latest exchange rate that highlights the Euro and GBP).

One of the pioneer hip-hop blog sites KevinNottingham.com (which is based in Miami), has recently announced that it will be going on a "hopeful" short hiatus to reassess and relaunch the site in the future. In this day of selfies and social media, the web industry and blogging industry (and hip hop blogging industry) isn't as easy as it once was to survive. Even here at The305.com, we find it hard to stay motivated to try and keep pushing forward with new content and new posts because often times, it fails to get appreciated. But we definitely wish Kevin and his staff/contributors luck in relaunching with a new and refreshed vision and motivation. Here's Kevin's message that was posted on New Year's Day…
In June 2007, a new website by an unknown hip hop fan was born. KevinNottingham.com, while new to the game, showed promise as it stayed true to hip hop culture and rapidly grew an online fanbase. Over the course of the past 7 1/2 years, KevinNottingham.com has won countless awards and has been recognized by prestigious media outlets and artists alike.
Today, I'd like to announce that we have reached the end of an era. Today, January 1 2015, KevinNottingham.com will go on a hiatus for the first time in 7 1/2 years. The hip hop blogging industry has drastically changed over the past few years. And while we've had our good times and bad times, we've tried our best to keep up. But it's not the same anymore. KevinNottingham.com used to pride ourselves in original content. There was a time when we were passionate about what we did. Things have changed.
So today we close our doors in an effort to take the site in a new direction… something new and exciting; something other than just posting new music everyday. Something different.
While our staff regroups to plan for our future, we invite you to visit the site's archives. Access to our past articles will be available; however, no new content will be posted during our hiatus. We haven't set a relaunch date, but you will know when we return.
We'd also like to thank all of our readers who have stayed with us over the years, as well as past contributors and artists we've featured. We hope you all return when we relaunch!
– Kevin Nottingham
Looking forward to the relaunch.

Also in this installment, learn how to make Phyllo Pastries with Martha and actor Jeff Goldblum.
In a hurry and can't watch the clip right now? Be sure to make a note to come back to it but here is one of the recipes for you now:
Phyllo Squares with Baked Egg,
Spinach, and Cheese
From MarthaStewart.com
8 cups baby spinach, remove stems
1 cup ricotta cheese
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
Coarse grain salt and freshly ground pepper
7 large eggs
1 stick butter, unsalted
6 sheets of thawed phyllo dough (12 X 17 inches each)
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
Wash spinach, leaving some water clinging to leaves. Cook in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Drain in a colander. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Squeeze spinach to release as much liquid as possible. Finely chop, and transfer to a bowl. (You'll have 1/2 cup packed.) Add ricotta and feta. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1 egg.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat; let solids sink to bottom. Skim foam. Carefully pour off clarified butter, discarding solids. Brush baking sheet with clarified butter.
Cover phyllo with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel to keep it from drying out as you work. Remove 3 phyllo sheets, and layer on baking sheet, brushing each with clarified butter before topping with another sheet. Repeat brushing and layering with remaining 3 phyllo sheets to form a second stack on a work surface; cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel to keep from drying out.
Place 6 evenly spaced dollops of spinach filling onto first phyllo stack, leaving a 2-inch border around each dollop. Make a well in the center of each filling mound. Crack 1 egg, and separate, reserving white. Carefully tip egg yolk into well of 1 filling mound. Repeat with remaining eggs.
Whisk reserved egg whites and brush onto phyllo between mounds. Top with remaining phyllo stack. Press between filling mounds to seal. Using a pastry wheel, cut around filling mounds to form six 5 1/2-inch squares. Bake until phyllo is golden but yolks are still runny, 6 to 7 minutes. (Centers should still be soft when touched with the tip of your finger.) Serve immediately.

"Good Place to Work"
- Work/Life Balance
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
The salary is fair for the position. Most positions have weekends off and the latest shift end time is 9 pm. Also, this location had several conveniences on-site, such as a store and a buffet-style cafeteria.
As anyone who has ever worked at a call center knows, the call center life can become very redundant as the day to day is the same.
Advice to Management
Spend more time with agents and less time hiding behind the desk. The only complaint that I have about my experience at Sallie Mae is that the supervisors did not spend much time with their agents.
Nice facilities and clean workspace. Onsite fitness center and full service cafeteria. Flexibility to work from home occasionally as needed. Plenty of on-campus parking available. Parking lots and sidewalks are cleared of ice and snow.
Perpetual downsizing and layoffs due to the loss of FFELP business model. Company is struggling to create new business lines to replace revenue. The cost of health benefits are high due to a largely aging workforce. Majority of computer equipment (5+ yrs old) needs replaced.
Advice to Management
Stop trying to develop "innovative" products that students and parents do not need. Focus on proven business models and expanding lower risk debt portfolio. Sell the company.
I was an excellent collector. If you can hit goal, you will make alot of money. On the federal side Student Assistance Corporation (SAC) when you hit goal you get $400.00
You have to spend alot of time there to hit goal. Management wants you to live there because by you hitting your goal they hit theres. They want you to work 55+ hours a week and make you feel bad when you dont.
Advice to Management
Listen to the collectors more. The collectors know what works and dosent. Change the scheduling too. This is one of the few call centers where you work weekends!

A new study has linked some commonly used incontinence drugs to memory problems in some older patients. "Our message is to be careful when using these medicines," said study leader and US Navy neurologist Dr. Jack Tsao. "It may be better to use diapers and be able to think clearly than the other way around," Tsao added. Tsao also advised that urinary incontinence can sometimes be resolved with non-drug treatments such as exercise, biofeedback, and maintaining a bathroom break schedule. Because of this, he added, patients should speak to their physicians and healthcare providers about alternatives to incontinence drugs.
In 2007, US sales of prescription drugs to treat urinary problems exceeded $3 billion, according to IMS Health, a drug sales tracker. Also, according to the National Institute on Aging, bladder control trouble affects about one in 10 people age 65 and older; women are more likely to be affected than men; and causes include nerve damage, loss of muscle tone or, in men, enlarged prostate. The National Institute on Aging helped fund the study whose research was prompted when Tsao met a 73-year-old patient who began hallucinating conversations with dead relatives and having memory problems shortly after starting an incontinence drug. The patient's mental condition improved when she stopped the drug for several months.
Tsao and his colleagues knew of similar reports and proceeded to review a large group of people—870 older Catholic priests, nuns and brothers participating in the Religious Orders Study at Chicago's Rush University Medical Center—to determine if they could measure an effect of these and other medications that affect acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a chemical messenger; drugs block some nerve impulses, such as bladder spasms. The findings, just released at a meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, come from an analysis of the medication use and cognitive test scores. The average patient age was 75.
Researchers tracked the group for nearly eight years, testing yearly for cognitive decline. Nearly 80 percent of the study participants took one or more of a class of drugs called anticholinergics, including drugs for high blood pressure, asthma, Parkinson's disease, and incontinence drugs such as Detrol and Ditropan. Those medicated experienced a 50 percent faster rate of cognitive decline over those not on medication. Even considering other risk factors for memory loss, such as age, a link was still established.
The incontinence drugs were among the most potent and were the most frequently taken of all the anticholinergics in the study, which is why the researchers feel they are the link to the memory problems, Tsao said Some experts said the research supports previous observations and is helpful because it measures the size of the effect. "This paper adds important new data to the picture," said Dr. Elaine Perry of Newcastle University in England, who has conducted similar, but separate, research. Tsao said that more research is needed on the effects of anticholinergic drugs on memory and suggests physicians do baseline cognitive testing on patients before prescribing the drugs.
Confusion and memory impairment were added to prescribing information for Detrol in 2006.

It has been a long while since my last Lending Club update. I am happy to share only good news as my social lending experiment moves forward.
Last year, I decided to build my Lending Club portfolio faster by automatically depositing $25 from each paycheck. My portfolio has certainly grown and I now have enough loans to add a new one each month from my lender payments.
Here is my current portfolio summary:
Loan Summary
I have made 39 loans so far, and 9 have been fully paid or paid early. I have 30 loans outstanding and all are issued and current. No loans are currently late and none have defaulted.
What excites me most about Lending Club are my consistent positive returns. One bad loan would be devastating to a portfolio this small, which is why I am trying to build it faster with 26 monthly deposits. I call this the social lending snowball.
Lending Strategy
From my time working in a bank, I know the biggest risk factors on a credit report. I review each loan I make individually and only choose the best loans. I am a stickler for low revolving debt balances, low revolving debt percent used, and late payment history.
Based on my strict guidelines, I am able to choose loans that are lower risk and better investments. Over time, I have relaxed my guidelines a bit to bring in higher-interest loans. Right now, I have 4 A-grade loans, 11 B-grade loans, and 15 C-grade loans. Over time, I will likely gravitate more toward C-grade and D-grade loans as my portfolio grows.
Making Social Lending Work for You
The key to doing well with lower grade loans is to have a lot of them. Just like banks spread around risk by building a big portfolio, as social lenders it is important for us to as well.
I don't advocate making social lending the bulk of your investments, but I do suggest readers follow my lead and give it a try. If you deposit $500 to start, you can make 20 loans to distribute your risk. If you can't afford that, you can start like I did with as little as $25 or $50.
Unlike stocks and mutual funds, you can't quickly and easily sell your loans and walk away with the cash, so you have to treat these loans more like a CD with a cash flow. Your money is locked in until the loans are paid back. (There is a system to buy-sell on a secondary market, but it is not as easy as selling a stock.)
Give it a Try
If you have read about social lending before and never tried it, what are you waiting for? It doesn't take a lot to get started, but the long term benefits are big. I have accounts at both Lending Club and Prosper and recommend either site. Full disclosure: I have most of my loans at Lending Club.
Let me know what questions you have in the comments below.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – Dozens of officers with the Wilmington Police Department hit the streets in full force Wednesday night to carry out "Operation Tranquility."
The task force will focus on ending the violence connected to gang activity, according to Captain Jim Varrone with WPD.
"We're going after troublemakers, not the neighbors," he said. "We want the families to feel like it's safe to go sit out in their front yard or their back yard and just relax."
Members of the task force, including agents from the FBI, DEA and ATF, will not have much time to relax. They'll be working around the clock to corral high-ranking gang members and follow any leads on open cases.
Police initially increased their presence in several neighborhoods around the city, as the first phase of a three-part strategy. Phase two is Operation Tranquility, which will go beyond the public housing communities like Creekwood, Hillcrest and Houston Moore.
"There are communities in between that have also suffered from all of this" said Varrone. "We're going to go wherever out investigation takes us."
Police Chief Ralph Evangelous, clergy members and community supporters held a conference last month, asking gang members to cease fire for 90 days. The plea stemmed from an alarming number of shootings reported in June.
Since January, there have been more than 270 reports of gunshots in Wilmington. Police said those shots were picked up by Shot Spotter technology or reported by people who called 911.
"The citizens of Wilmington have a right to enjoy peace, quiet and safety in their homes," said Evangelous. "Our goal is to help them to return to some form of normalcy".
Violent and gun-related crimes are a priority, according to Varrone. He said some community members are beginning to understand as they help, sometimes anonymously, to inform police.
"We are having people to open up and give us information recently that's helping us to put the pieces of these cases together," he said.
Varrone added that he's confident in work the task force will do in the next 30 days. After that comes phase three, which is a review of phase two. Varrone said if the results aren't enough, the task force will continue to operate.
