Peggy Fletcher Stack reports in the Salt Lake Tribune that the church is going to survey missionaries about safety. This survey is likely related to rising global terrorism as well as several outbreaks of disease that have been problems in recent years and required adaptation in terms of missionary dress codes and where missionaries serve. It's important to note that existing mission rules help prevent a lot of injuries, rules like being with a companion 24×7, no swimming, and wearing helmets and seat belts. Compared to same age cohorts, missionaries suffer fewer injuries–this, despite being in areas of the globe that may be more perilous than their native communities. We're obviously doing some things right to protect our missionaries. [Read more…]
Missionary Safety: That No Harm or Accident May Befall Us
2nd Missionary Month: Still Waiting for the Gift of Tongues
You can find my first two installments in this series here and here.
My second companion was Hermana C who had also served in my first area. We both got transferred back to the city of Las Palmas together, to the horrible piso (apartment) I had seen during my first day in the mission. There were two bedrooms, one that was used as a dressing room and shared closet, a tiny kitchen, a living area with a telephone, and a bathroom. The bathroom didn't have a shower head, and the shower hose didn't connect to the wall. You just held it up and hosed off with it. There was also no curtain, and no real tub – you stood in a square basin that had tile built up around it, like a very small bathtub. We also had to wash our clothes in this, by hand, because we didn't have access to a washing machine. Usually I would just put some shampoo in with my clothes and some water and stomp around on them like Lucy's Italian episode where she is stomping the grapes. Then we would hang our clothes up on a line in the air shaft outside the window, on lines hung in our apartment, or draped over furniture. [Read more…]
My First Month as a Missionary: Dazed & Confused
I recently blogged about my first day as a missionary and how it felt to return to that place after 27 years. Because we were on a cruise last month, stopping at 5 of the Canary Islands, I had a chance to revisit the island of Lanzarote where I started my mission, a place I hadn't been in the 28 years since then. I surprised myself by being able to pick out my apartment by sight even though the city of Arrecife has changed quite a bit, and the apartment has been renovated. The exterior balconies have now been enclosed, probably to keep out the sands from Calima, an annual dust storm that happens in the Canary Islands, bringing sand from the Sahara, across the ocean, obscuring the sun. Calima can last for several days when it comes. While I was there, our balcony would sometimes fill with sand overnight. Lanzarote is a very windy island, the most eastward of the archipelago, the closest to the coast of Morocco.
The biggest obstacle to memory was that I only served there for 5 weeks, and then never returned to that island, and most of the time I was there I felt like I didn't know what the heck was going on. I was the only missionary being sent to Lanzarote, and I had just arrived in the islands after a long flight. When I arrived in Arrecife, I was alarmed by the 18 year old men in military garb casually holding machine guns, standing around the airport looking bored. I remembered thinking "I could easily take away that gun, and I'm not that big or strong," envisioning the possibilities for violence and mayhem if any random person were so inclined. That's a sight I saw in all the airports in Spain, one that I never quite got comfortable with. [Read more…]
Time Travel: Christian Identity Loss
I recently returned from a trip back to the Canary Islands, where I served my mission over 27 years ago. I've been back a couple times before, but this was my first time back to the island of Gran Canaria where the mission home was, where I spent my first day, and where I spent about half my mission. As we went to various places in Las Palmas, I kept having flashbacks to the emotions I felt on my first day as a missionary as well as on subsequent pivotal occasions. It was weird.
When I started my mission, I had some strange ideas about the need to slough off my identity, to leave behind the identifiable parts of myself in favor of a new, bland, passive Christian identity that was really no identity at all. I had the idea that I was entering a monastic order, similar to an abbey. I envisioned myself as a sort of Mormon nun, having transcended or at least forsaken my own interests and personality and ready to just be an empty vessel for the word of God, a conduit for a will other than my own. There was no room for defensiveness or for my need to be understood or known. Being misunderstood by others gave me a chance to let go of my identity, to kill the natural (wo)man.
Obviously this lasted about 5 minutes.[1] [Read more…]
Preaching in the Provinces: Lorenzo Barnes and Early Mormon Missions
Lorenzo Barnes (1812-1842)—early Mormon convert and perennial missionary—left some record of his preaching efforts in two small journals. Barnes was schooled in early Mormon ideas and mission work, and his methods probably mirrored what many lay-minister Mormons did to spread the word. I've been thinking more about Barnes lately and I've written a bit about him in something that appears in the most recent issue of Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought (though that piece is altogether different from this blog entry). Barnes ends out with a chapter in the sermon book (Every Word Seasoned with Grace: A Textual Study of the Funeral Sermons of Joseph Smith) since Joseph Smith preached a sermon in honor of Barnes in April 1843—Barnes died in mission service (December 1842, Idle, England). Here I'm just going to quote from one of Barnes's journals about his 1835 preaching travels Barnes was in the Camp of Israel — Zion's Camp — and subsequently was called as one of the original Seventy whose special duty was mission work. Spelling and punctuation as in the original.

Early Morning Seminary and Sleep Deprivation
Is Early Morning Seminary worth it? This is a question I ask myself every year. At the kickoff for seminary, the seminary director explains each year that the reason we do Early Morning Seminary is to teach the kids they can do hard things. That's the same reason we were told we do manufactured Trek reenactments, too. But is doing hard things a good justification in and of itself to do something? I have seen fairly severe impacts to my kids as they've gone through 4 years of seminary. The sleep deprivation at a crucial growing period when they are supposed to be achieving grades that enable them to get a good college education seems like a high price to pay for daily religious education from amateur volunteers. [Read more…]
Stop Skipping the Establishment Clause
For as much as we love religious freedom (BYU just finished its annual two-day conference on the topic), Mormons don't pay much attention to the Establishment Clause. Which, if you think about it, is astounding. What else is Mormonism, if not the greatest Establishment Clause failure of the 19th Century?
Today's guest post is from Carolyn Homer. Carolyn Homer is an attorney and religion constitutional law enthusiast in California. She has represented the Anti-Defamation League and other religious organizations as amici before the U.S. Supreme Court, most recently in Zubik v. Burwell, which concerned religious exemptions to the Affordable Care Act. [Read more…]
Last week, as I waited in the car to pick my daughter up from school, I heard an All Things Considered review of the recently-released album from Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. And, as these things do, it got me thinking about my mission.
When I got my call to the Brazil São Paulo East mission, I knew three things about Brazil: first, it was in South America. Second, they spoke Portuguese there. And third, it was the home of Bossa Nova. [Read more…]
"Once I Was a Beehive": Must-See Mormon Film of 2015
Go see this film! It's one of those rare Mormon films that you'll love, whether you're Mormon or not. If you live in Utah, it's playing in theaters until Thursday, August 27, 2015.
I do not pretend to be a connoisseur of Mormon film by any stretch of the imagination, or a movie critic in general, for that matter. In truth, I can add very little to film and theater critic Eric Samuelsen's excellent review of Once I Was a Beehive, in which he highly recommends the film. I fully endorse his review in the sense that he says exactly what I would have wanted to say but much better than I could have. (Samuelsen's glowing recommendation means a lot because he is known as somewhat of a cynic or at least a critic — he calls himself the Mormon Iconoclast — about Mormon culture.) But I had a few brief thoughts about it based on my own tastes in literature, film, and culture, and perhaps most importantly, from my perspective as a Mormon father of four Mormon daughters.

Church Autonomy and Taxes in Austria
Today is the deadline for filing an electronic tax return here in Austria, but you'd hardly know it because most tax payers, i.e., employed persons, are not required to file at all: declaring and withholding income and social security taxes are employer responsibilities. As a result, most people don't file a return; if they do, it is to claim one or several of a limited number of deductions. If members of the Church bother to do it, they will be able to deduct a portion of their tithing—currently capped at EUR 400/year—and that's about it as far as charitable contributions to the Church are concerned. But fifteen years ago, a local member of the Church blazed the way for an additional deduction related to missionary service.

"…there's a ton of stuff that should be covered in the MTC."
In Sam's post about tax liabilities stemming from membership in an organized religion in Germany, someone mentioned that missionaries destined for that land should be prepped on the topic. Sam's reply was that "…there's a ton of stuff that should be covered in the MTC."
Back in my day[1], the MTC stay was 8-9 weeks for those requiring language training, and 3-4 weeks otherwise. Perhaps it's longer/shorter/different now, but the point is missionaries don't spend very much time in the MTC before being sent packing. A month or two, like! That's not very long! And missionaries are really
ignorant youthful! [Read more…]

Mormon Jargon 2
One of my most popular posts ever was a Mormon version of Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary, a satirical version of definitions of words according to Mormon culture. [1] I thought it was time to expand that first effort. I've included original definitions, a few reader suggestions, and added to the list with some more of my own. With this preamble, I bring you Mormon Jargon the Sequel: 2 Mormon 2 Jargon.
Many Are Chosen, But Few Are Called
In a well publicized pre-emptive move, the church issued a statement last week that women seeking tickets to the April 5 Priesthood session would be relegated to the "free speech zone," traditionally the purview of anti-Mormon protesters. Kate Kelly, founder of the group Ordain Women, was characteristically gracious in her reply. From the article:
"We are disappointed that we weren't granted tickets," says Kate Kelly, one of the founders of Ordain Women. "But it is a positive step that public affairs is responding to us, indicating that one day maybe the higher authorities will be able to hear our concerns." [Read more…]
Here's to Me, Mrs. Robinson
One recent afternoon, two new elders were visiting our neighborhood. There is another Mormon family up the street, and after stopping in to see them, they came by our house. For all I know, missionaries have been doing these drop ins for years. I've never been home during the day before, but since my husband and I are starting up a small business, we are now both home during the day until our new office is open. This was a new experience for me. [Read more…]
Toward a More Productive, Fulfilling, and Successful Missionary Program
A little over six months have passed since the Church held its mission president training meeting that was double-billed as a worldwide leadership training meeting relating to missionary work to which all members were invited (either in person at the BYU Marriott Center or virtually, by way of the internet) and which was preceded by unprecedented fanfare.

Five Goals
One of my most vivid memories as a boy growing up in the gospel-centered home that I did is of a Family Home Evening that we had when I was maybe four, in the basement of our little starter home in Bountiful, Utah. Mom and Dad helped my little brother and me trace our hands with blue marker on poster board. We cut those out, and then wrote on the five fingers of each hand our life's goals, which we arrived at with Mom and Dad's gentle persuasion:
1. Get Baptized and Receive the Holy Ghost
2. Receive the Aaronic Priesthood
3. Receive the Melchizedek Priesthood
4. Go on a Mission
5. Get Married in the Temple
That remains a pretty ideal life's plan for young men in the Church today1—and there is a lot of good to it. Speaking personally, those were good goals for me, and they served me well. Over the years, I have also become more sensitive to the fact that sometimes ideals aren't attainable, and that within Mormon culture the pain of unmet expectations or attainments can be really acute, even brutal. I want to speak in this post to a slightly different set of expectations that I wish we laid more cultural emphasis on—expectations that, in my view, are more attainable for a larger percentage of our willing young men and that might be more easily adapted to young women, as well.
Missionary Memories and Regrets: Reflections after 10 Years
This Sunday marks my 10th anniversary of entering the MTC. This was back before they made you say goodbye to your family at the curbside, so I have vivid memories of sitting in the large room, watching the short video of missionaries singing "Called To Serve," parents walking out one door while missionaries walked out another, and absolutely everyone weeping uncontrollably. (It's probably for the best that saying goodbye is now like ripping off a bandaid.) While my opinion of my mission in particular and LDS missions in general have changed over the years—for instance, whoever thinks those were truly "the best two years" must have had a lousy post-mission life—I am still very grateful for my time spent in the Washington DC North Mission, for the people I worked with, and especially the people I served.
As I'm sure is the case with everyone, I have mixed memories. So without further ado, below are 10 of my favorite Mission moments, followed by 10 of my most painful regrets. [Read more…]
Conversion or Comfort Zone?
It's sometimes hard to tell the difference between righteousness (that needs no correction) and self-righteousness (that can't bear or acknowledge the need for correction). Put another way, it's difficult to confidently consider something personal revelation unless it differs from our own conscience or our own self-justifications or what we would do (even if we are tempted to do otherwise). Yet, the more we live the gospel, the more righteous and godlike we become and the less likely revelation will contradict our own views. [Read more…]
Changes to Missionary Program? Best Guesses?
(Video clip from Habitat for Humanity, http://www.habitat.org)
For the last couple of weeks, our ward has been announcing a worldwide leadership training meeting that will be held on the afternoon of Sunday, June 23, 2013 in BYU's Marriott Center. The meeting is being billed as a very big deal. Church leaders have requested local units to even modify their meeting times if they conflict with the 4:00 pm meeting time (which will be the case for us). If I understand correctly, the meeting is technically part of the mission presidents training but, unusually, all members of ward and stake councils and their spouses and all other members of the Church who are interested are invited to attend. My understanding is that all members of the First Presidency and Quorum of Twelve Apostles will be in attendance. The upshot is that they have an important message to deliver, presumably about missionary work. [Read more…]
The Testimony Puzzle
I have never been a big fan of testimony meetings for a variety of reasons, but maybe my opinion is starting to shift.
I recently taught the May Sunday School youth lesson from Come Follow Me "What does it mean to bear testimony?" Since I teach 12-13 year olds, including my own son, I wanted to find a game or object lesson to help illustrate testimony. I found the idea for a puzzle on the church's website.
I showed the class a partially constructed puzzle. My son immediately shouted out "It's a goldfish in a bowl. Boom!" I said it wasn't a goldfish. Another boy agreed with my son: "It's definitely a goldfish." I assured the class again that the picture was not a goldfish. The puzzle object lesson seemed to be working in ways not intended, demonstrating that some people draw wrong conclusions based on scant evidence and their own personal assumptions.
Using the Youth Sunday School Curriculum to Train Future Missionaries
I am happy to introduce a new monthly youth Sunday school series at BCC: adapting the youth Sunday school curriculum to train future missionaries.
In my own ward I'm fortunate to teach 17-18 year-olds. Some of them already have turned in their mission papers and are awaiting calls. Others are working on their papers. The Sunday school curriculum adapts itself easily to teaching the youth how to share the gospel both with investigators in a formal setting and with friends. [Read more…]
Mouths of Babes — Does Can Mean Should?
O be wise, what can I say more?
A Mormon boy from an affluent neighborhood in Utah, barely 18 years old, will leave a few days after graduating from high school for the crushing poverty, suffering, and misery of Sierra Leone. This isn't the plot of an off-color Broadway musical. It's going to happen in a couple of months to a real person.[1] He's not going to experience mere culture shock; it will be an entirely different world, a different universe. Nothing in the boy's lived experience up until this point is going to have prepared him for even the smallest percentage of what he is going to observe landing there. I hope and pray he survives!
There isn't much difference between an 18 year old boy and a 19 year old boy — both are teenagers still, both usually as green as can be. On paper it's a wash. [Read more…]

Gospel Doctrine Lesson #6: "I Will Tell You in Your Mind and in Your Heart, by the Holy Ghost"
Notes, commentary, and questions for LDS Sunday School teachers using the 'Doctrine & Covenants and Church History' manual. Feel free to share your thoughts or ideas regarding the lesson in the comments.
This covers much the same material as the last lesson, historically and thematically. The emphasis continues to be on Oliver Cowdery's experiences translating the Book of Mormon and, specifically, his attempts to recognize the spirit of revelation in his own life. While the emphasis of last week's lesson was more on preparing yourself to receive revelation, this week's lesson has more to do with recognizing what on earth is going on when it happens.
First of all, go to the new Revelations in Context resource at lds.org and read the article by Jeffrey Cannon on Oliver Cowdery's Gift. While you are hopping around, go to Robin Jensen's post on last week's lesson and read that as well. Now return to this post and feel bad; I'm neither as knowledgeable, nor as good a writer as those guys. Oh well.
If there is one message to take from all of the sections being covered this week (and last week) it is this: revelation is not easy work. [Read more…]
A few questions about the missionary surge
We've all heard the anecdotal tales about BYU bishops being flooded with interview requests from newly prospective missionaries. And now we have quantitative confirmation of the coming surge, as church spokesperson Michael Purdy released some startling numbers tonight:
"Typically approximately 700 new applications are started each week. The last two weeks that number has increased to approximately 4,000 per week. Slightly more than half of the applicants are women."
That's an increase of almost 6X! DesNews reminds us that these are "not submitted applications, rather online applications that have been opened and started." Nevertheless, the ginormous spike will surely translate to a ginormous spike in submitted applications. Which raises lots of fun questions. For instance:

By Juliet Eilperin
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, October 7, 2008
BARCELONA, Oct. 6 -- At least a quarter of the world's wild mammal species are at risk of extinction, according to a comprehensive global survey released here Monday.
The new assessment -- which took 1,700 experts in 130 countries five years to complete -- paints "a bleak picture," leaders of the project wrote in a paper being published in the journal Science. The overview, made public at the quadrennial World Conservation Congress of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), covers all 5,487 wild species identified since 1500. It is the most thorough tally of land and marine mammals since 1996.
"Mammals are definitely declining, and the driving factors are habitat destruction and over-harvesting," said Jan Schipper, the paper's lead writer and the IUCN's global mammals assessment coordinator. The researchers concluded that 25 percent of the mammal species for which they had sufficient data are threatened with extinction, but Schipper added that the figure could be as high as 36 percent because information on some species is so scarce.
Land and marine mammals face different threats, the scientists said, and large mammals are more vulnerable than small ones. For land species, habitat loss and hunting represent the greatest danger, while marine mammals are more threatened by unintentional killing by pollution, ship strikes and being caught in fishing nets.
While large species such as primates (including the Sumatran orangutan and red colobus monkeys in Africa) and ungulates (hoofed animals such as Africa's Dama gazelle and the Malaysian tapir) may seem more physically imposing, the researchers wrote that these animals are more imperiled than smaller creatures such as rodents and bats because they "tend to have lower population densities, slower life histories, and larger home ranges, and are more likely to be hunted."
Primates face some of the most intense pressures: According to the survey, 79 percent of primates in South and Southeast Asia are facing extinction.
Conservation International President Russell A. Mittermeier, one of the paper's writers and a primate specialist, said animals in the region are being hit with "a triple whammy."
"It's not that surprising, given the high population pressures, the level of habitat destruction, and the fairly extreme hunting of primates for food and medicinal purposes," he said in an interview. He added that some areas in Vietnam and Cambodia are facing "an empty forest syndrome," as even once-populous species such as the crab-eating macaque, or temple monkey, are "actually getting vacuumed out of some areas where it was common."
In some cases, the scientists have a precise sense of how imperiled a species has become: There are 19 Hainan gibbons left in the wild on the island off China's southeast coast, Mittermeier said, which actually counts as progress because there used to be just a dozen.
With others, including the beaked whale and the jaguar, researchers have a much vaguer idea of their numbers despite technological advances -- such as satellite and radio tagging, camera tracking and satellite-based GPS (global positioning system) mapping. The authors of the assessment wrote that most land mammals occupy "areas smaller than the United Kingdom," while "the range of most marine mammals is smaller than one-fifth of the Indian Ocean."
The report on mammals came on the same day that the IUCN updated its "Red List" -- a separate periodic survey of nearly 45,000 species of plants and animals -- and concluded that 32 percent are threatened with extinction. Its scientists added 20 of the world's 161 species of grouper to the list of those at risk of extinction, along with several tarantula species.
Jonathan Baillie, who directs conservation programs at the Zoological Society of London, said: "It's a continual decline in all cases."
Not all of the news was grim yesterday: IUCN officials said that the La Palma giant lizard, believed to be extinct for 500 years, was rediscovered last year in the Canary Islands and is now considered critically endangered.
The writers of the mammals assessment said the observed declines are not inevitable. "At least 5 percent of currently threatened species have stable or increasing populations," they wrote, "which indicates that they are recovering from past threats."
Said Mittermeier: "It comes down to protecting habitats effectively, through protected areas, and preventing hunting and other forms of exploitation." As one example of how conservation can be effective, he noted that in areas where scientific researchers work, animals stand a much better chance of surviving. "Where you have a research presence, it's as good or better than a guard force," he said.
Schipper offered the model of the U.S. effort to bring back the black-footed ferret, which was essentially extinct on the North American prairie as of 1996. "Now it's endangered, which, in this case, is a huge improvement," he said. "When governments and scientists commit resources to a project, many species can be recovered."
Monday's reports come as researchers have been documenting effects of human-generated greenhouse gases. In a paper published Thursday in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, a team at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute found that ocean acidification spurred by carbon emissions will cause sound to travel farther underwater, because increasingly acidic seawater absorbs less low- and mid-frequency sound.
By 2050, the researchers predicted, sounds could travel as much as 70 percent farther in parts of the Atlantic Ocean and other areas, which may improve marine mammals' ability to communicate but also increase background noise, which could prove disorienting.
"We understand the chemistry of the ocean is changing. The biological implications of that we really don't know," said ocean chemist Keith Hester, the lead writer. "The magnitude to which sound absorption will change, based mainly on human contribution, is really astounding."

The Bel Ami hunks really shook Mardi Gras in Sydney this year. It seems as though they were EVERYWHERE! From the DNA float at the Mardi Gras parade to the Aussie Bum photo shoot on Bondi beach, these hunks with their six-pack abs and chiseled faces were very busy and looking very, very hot!
Kris Evans, Dolph Lambert, Vadim Farrell, Ryan Kutcher, Harris Hilton, Luke Hamill, Jean Daniel Chagall and (DNA cover boy) Lukas Ridgestone were together at all times, ready for every photo op available to them and seriously, the crowd just ate it up! They were hardly ever seen with clothes on and spent the majority of the time there wearing nothing but a pair of sexy speedos! Now that's what I am talkin' about!
I'm sure we will be seeing the fruit of all their hard work pretty soon in the next couple of months but for now, enjoy some of these shots which promise so much hotness that is yet to cum! OUCH!

I see location is a new experience diversion emerging. It is called Geocaching.
Geocaching is a legitimate worldwide halting that consists of general public hiding caches, then others go to brainstorm it. Hide and wish for adults essentially. There are some sites that give prizes for uncovering caches. One asks that you export a found cache for another one. It is becoming somewhat a trend.
Now concede me for human being niave - but if you are going to hurting gas and force looking for
treasure - why wouldn't it be REAL treasures that you prod out? There is so much
actual bonified treasure out here to be found - old coins, groundbreaker artifacts, Indian
artifacts, actualised missing mines and time-consuming buried treasures from yesteryear, and this is not to
even mention gem minerals. The glamour of hunt for implanted "caches" purely escapes
me in some way.
There are presence towns all over, and in those specter towns are lots wasted items fair waiting
for the lucky searcher to dig up and bring rearward to the global. Of course, this is fair whole
towns. Anyone hiking in areas in earlier times trod by primordial gold rush forward era prospectors or
pioneers is duty-bound to splutter cross-town gone homesteads at more than a few juncture or other than.
Where of all time parties of pioneers, lorry trains, or stagecoaches came through, within rests
the possible occurrence of actual treasures. Pioneers were set to ofttimes hide treasures once they
were being go by those who possibly will pillage it, or once the bushel became too
encumbersome to be able to traverse beside it. I'm definite these nation intended to get better these
treasures at a after that date, but for reasons travel from ill timed change to just lost
directions, oodles of these caches be concealed and ready and waiting for betterment to this day.

having been dug up that were larboard by pirates, explorers, and group fleeing battles, and
who knows how numerous left-hand to find - and that is on home. For the venturesome scuba
diver, the hollow place is an explorers paradise, hiding wrecks of ships toren on reefs, gone in
storms, or washed-up in battles.
The South Western portion of the US abounds next to relish stories of mislaid Indian
treasures, caches stolen by incursive Spaniards and hidden to be gone astray later, and stagecoach
and discipline robberies that resulted in funeral of treasures. While more than a few of these stories can be
chocked up to legend, historical documentation exists to support oodles.

So peradventure the fact near the Geocache halt is the jealousy and group action with
others. Real treasure outdoor sport does not needfully diverge these factors. Many a treasure
hunt that I have seen revolves around common investigation and information, as well as teams
of hunters who tale rear to all other roughly progresses and failures. Some are
undertaken with the soul of joint a cache, patch others require mutual reports but
the effective uncovering is beautiful muchly a finders-keepers, winner-take-all statement.
So just tongued - piece Geocaching sounds like an entertaining way to pass a
weekend - for me "ain't aught same the indisputable thing, child."

Custom Solutions Bulletin 039
Application #051677
Industry: Paper
Application: Material Injection
Product Description: Special Connection SpiralAir®
PDF version of this Bulletin (87 KB)
Situation: A BETE customer needed to fit a 1" SpiralAir® (SA) lance through a 2" schedule 80 pipe opening. The opening on the pipe could be as small as 1.821". The widest dimension across the face of the nozzle was 2.308". The customer wished to do as much of the fabrication of the lance as they could themselves. The lance needed to have a liquid supply line connection that provided easy assembly.
BETE's Solution: BETE Applications Engineers designed a special small diameter SpiralAir nozzle with a turned down hex and welded an end cover to eliminate the cover-retaining nut. The nozzle would be installed with a pipe wrench. A special liquid delivery tube was also designed with a 3/8" NPT connection instead of a slip joint and O-ring.
To discuss your fluid-related challenge, please contact BETE Applications Engineering at 413-772-0846 or email@example.com.

Lily Allen alters username on Twitter in tribute to husbandPosted on: June 14, 2011 17:14:06
Lonely hearts looking for romance using online dating websites could be happy to hear things appear to be going well in the life of Lily Allen.
Despite a difficult few months after the tragic loss of her unborn son, the 26-year-old singer has married her long-term boyfriend Sam Cooper.
In an idyllic Gloucestershire ceremony, the fashionable brunette stunned friends and family as she walked down the aisle in an intricately patterned lace gown.
Since the romantic day, which was attended by a number of well-known faces, Allen has taken to her Twitter account to pay tribute to her new husband.
Formerly known as lilyroseallen on the social networking website, the Smile singer has changed her name to MrsLRCooper.
Although it is not certain she will adopt the name as part of her future business ventures, the petite brunette was spotted with the letters LRC emblazoned on her Luis Vuitton suitcase in April.
Fashion icon Allen has recently launched new clothing collection Lucy In Disguse alongside her sister Sarah Owen following the success of their London boutique of the same name.

Ost-in-Edhil was the capital city of Eregion (Hollin) in Middle-earth during the Second Age.
Ost-in-Edhil was established by the Ñoldor during the early parts of the Second Age, located where the Sirannon met the Glanduin. A large road was erected to the West Gate of Khazad-dûm under the shadow of the Misty Mountains (Hithaeglir), to facilitate communication and trade between the Dwarves and the Elves.
Ost-in-Edhil was ruled by Celebrimbor, the founder and leader of the Gwaith-i-Mírdain and the grandson of Fëanor. Here the Ñoldor created the Rings of Power with knowledge given to them by Sauron, posing as Annatar, the 'Giver of Gifts'. When Celebrimbor discovered Sauron's plan to ensnare them, he hid the rings and did not use them ever again and refused Sauron's demand to surrender all the others. This started the War of Sauron and the Elves and during the war Ost-in-Edhil was completely destroyed by Sauron's forces, but its ruins survived into the Third Age.
The Fellowship of the Ring encountered the ruins of Ost-in-Edhil shortly before reaching Moria, and Legolas heard the stones speaking of the Elves of Eregion:
"Deep they delved us,
High they built us,
Fair they wrought us,
But they are gone."
Ost-in-Edhil was Sindarin for 'Fortress of the Elves'.

Filthy Hands Club Silver Lapel Pin
The 'Filthy Hands Club' sterling silver pin is a nod to my fellow silversmiths and fabricators and makers out there. You all know the struggle! Stubby grubby fingernails, mystery cuts, and a constant dusting of dirt and rouge... My hands are almost never clean!
This dainty silver hand has been hand-drawn onto sterling silver sheet. A new hand is drawn each time, never traced or stencilled. No two pins will be exactly alike!
The hand is carefully cut out by-hand, and features hand-tooled details and textures. The hand is then flattened, blackened, and finally polished to a high shine.
This high-quality lapel pin features:
-A sturdy soldered nickel-plated brass post with safety catch
-Small pick on back prevents the pin from turning
-Low profile pin clutch, locks onto post. No more lost pins!
Entire pin measures 3/4 of an inch tall, or approximately 2 cm.
You will receive one pin, chosen at random. Your pin will resemble the pins shown, but will vary slightly due to the unique traits of a handmade item.
As with all handmade and one-of-a-kind jewelry, utmost care should be taken to keep jewelry clean and dry. Never wear your pieces while bathing, swimming, or washing dishes to avoid having them submerged in water. Bones and stones are porous and susceptible to become weak when they get wet. Metals can tarnish and lose their patinas more quickly if they get wet or washed with chemicals frequently. Also, please remove your pieces before any strenuous activities as they are fragile and parts could be knocked loose or fall out. Treat your jewelry like the unique piece of art that it is and it will remain in good condition for ages.

Arriving at an ancient stone prison, the Lady, an investigator who searches for buried information from prisoners' pasts that can save those soon-to-be-executed, digs into the past of a killer named York, who can sense what others cannot, and unearths shocking secrets of her own. 40,000 first printing. - (Baker & Taylor)
A wondrous and redemptive debut novel, set in a stark world where evil and magic coincide,The Enchanted combines the empathy and lyricism of Alice Sebold with the dark, imaginative power of Stephen King.
"This is an enchanted place. Others don't see it, but I do." The enchanted place is an ancient stone prison, viewed through the eyes of a death row inmate who finds escape in his books and in re-imagining life around him, weaving a fantastical story of the people he observes and the world he inhabits. Fearful and reclusive, he senses what others cannot. Though bars confine him every minute of every day, he marries visions of golden horses running beneath the prison, heat flowing like molten metal from their backs with the devastating violence of prison life.
Two outsiders venture here: a fallen priest and the Lady, an investigator who searches for buried information from prisoners' pasts that can save those soon-to-be-executed. Digging into the background of a killer named York, she uncovers wrenching truths that challenge familiar notions of victim and criminal, innocence and guilt, honesty and corruption—ultimately revealing shocking secrets of her own.
Beautiful and transcendent, The Enchanted reminds us of how our humanity connects us all, and how beauty and love exist even amidst the most nightmarish reality.
The lady, an investigator who excels at uncovering information to save her clients from execution . . .
The fallen priest, beaten down by his guilt over a terrible sin and its tragic consequences . . .
The warden, a kind man within a cruel system . . .
The mute prisoner, sensing what others cannot in what he calls "this enchanted place" . . .
The enchanted place is an ancient stone prison. Two outsiders walk here: a woman known only as the lady, and a fallen priest. The lady comes to the prison when she has a job to do. She's skilled at finding the secrets that get men off death row. This gift threatens her career—and complicates her life—when she takes on the case of York, a killer whose date of execution looms. York is different from the lady's former clients: he wants to die. Going against the condemned man's wishes, the lady begins her work. What she uncovers about York's birth and upbringing rings chillingly familiar. In York's shocking and shameful childhood, the lady sees the shadows of her own.
The lady is watched by a death row inmate who finds escape in the books he reads from the prison library and by reimagining the world he inhabits—a world of majestic golden horses that stampede underground and of tiny men who hammer away inside stone walls. He is not named, nor do we know his crime. But he listens. He listens to York's story. He sees the lady fall in love with the priest and wonders how such warmth is possible in these crumbling corridors. As tensions in "this enchanted place" build, he sees the corruption and the danger. And he waits as the hour of his own destiny approaches.
The Enchanted is a magical novel about redemption, the poetry that can exist within the unfathomable, and the human capacity to transcend and survive even the most nightmarish reality. Beautiful and unexpected, this is a memorable story.
Booklist Reviews
In her evocative first novel, Denfeld, a boxer and author of the hard-hitting nonfiction book, All God's Children: Inside the Dark and Violent World of America's Street Families (2007), seeks to revolutionize our perception of convicts. One of three nameless narrators, a man on death row, states that prison is a place of enchantment. He convincingly describes the mythic beauty of his dank dungeon before introducing the other two mysterious speakers, the jail's fallen priest and a woman hired to exonerate the condemned men. Referred to only as "the lady," she serves as the plot's catalyst. She is enlisted to spare an inmate named York, who was doomed to misery long before he became a criminal. Denfeld's humanizing of the potential for horror that is within all of us and her insistence that the reader see the beauty in the darkest corners of life sizzles through her sharp prose, which both makes us flinch and invites us to imagine. Those familiar with the world of corrections will especially appreciate Denfeld's nuanced portrait of prison life. Copyright 2014 Booklist Reviews.
Library Journal Reviews
His imagination unfettered by prison bars, a death row inmate envisions a magical world that includes radiant golden horses galloping beneath the prison. Enter the Lady, an investigator who digs into prisoners' pasts to save them (much like mitigation specialist Denfeld), who discovers something that changes the prison world's concept of guilt and innocence. A debut novel with lots of push.
Filled with themes of pain and suffering and still a pleasure to read, this impressive debut from author/journalist Denfeld (All God's Children) is set in a decaying, dark, corrupt prison, but as the opening line reveals, it "is an enchanted place." The Lady, a death-row investigator (similar to mitigation specialist Denfeld) uses her unique perspective as a victim of terrible childhood abuse and conditions to research the lives of inmates. Working with her are a fallen priest, who is hiding secrets and hurt of his own, and the warden, whose wife is dying of cancer. Much of the story is told from the fantastical perspective of a reclusive prisoner on death row, preferring to remain unseen for his own protection and those around him. In many ways, this is a tale about being seen, understood, possibly forgiven, and maybe even loved. VERDICT While dark enough to appeal to fans of fantasy and horror (think Stephen King's The Green Mile), this is also a work of love and redemption. Read this magical book, and prepare to be spellbound. [See Prepub Alert, 9/9/13.]—Shaunna E. Hunter, Hampden-Sydney Coll. Lib., VA

After growing up together since middle school, Danielle and Kurt decided to tie the knot on a gorgeous summer day near a beach off the historic East Coast. From the navy blue, mismatched bridesmaid dresses to the stunning and vibrant decor, their wedding day was romantic, personal, and had the perfect amount of pink to make Danielle's dream day come true.
Q. How did Kurt pop the question?
A. Kurt proposed on December 21, 2012, right before we went home to our families for Christmas. He brought me outside within the Boston Common and popped the question! He explained that December 21 was the start of the winter solstice, meaning that each day after that would begin to be brighter, just like our relationship and our lives together.
Q. Tell us about your wedding day.
A. When I woke up, it was a gorgeous, bright day—there was no rain in the forecast. When it was finally time to walk down the aisle I was never more ready for anything in my life. Having the opportunity to have the most important people in my life in one place at the same time was something that I never thought possible. Our day was incredible because of everyone that was there to help us celebrate it.
Q. What was your favorite moment from the wedding day?
A. My favorite moment was probably in the beginning of our ceremony. We were married on the lawn right near a beach, so many people stood around looking on, and cars drove by as they finished their day by the sea. One car drove by and someone leaned out of their car and yelled, "GOOD FOR YOU!" The ceremony momentarily stopped and everyone had a good laugh.
Q. Why did you choose Kennedy Blue mismatched bridesmaid dresses for your girls?
A. Kennedy Blue was an easy option for us because each one of my six bridesmaids lived in a different portion of the country- from Massachusetts to Los Angeles. With theKennedy Blue Find-Try-Buy program we were able to send a few of the dresses to their homes, have a live video chat while the girls tried them on, and then allowed each girl to choose their own bridesmaid gown.
Q. How did you choose the venue for your stunning East Coast wedding?
A. We chose the venue because it was a place that I had grown up near my entire life. When I passed through this venue when I was little, I always thought that the girls in white were princesses that lived there. As I grew up, I understood the idea of a wedding and decided very early on that it would be the ideal place to say "I do."
Q. What part of planning did you enjoy the most and why?
A. Kurt thinks that the best part of planning was all of the post wedding planning we did. Our wedding was on a Friday, which allowed for us to spend the entire following day at the beach with all of our friends and family. We ate, drank, and played volleyball and a ton of other fun yard games. I even put my dress on again to party in!
Q. What advice would you give to other brides?
A. My advice would be to make sure you never stray from what you want. You will get a lot of opinions or a lot of pressure from those around you to do certain things, but make sure you stay true to yourself and do what you believe in. You only get one day and you deserve for it to be exactly how you imagined!

Taking Your Measurements
For the most accurate measurements, do not measure over your clothing. Your measurements should be taken while wearing undergarments similar to the ones you will wear with your dress. The measuring tape shouldn't be pulled too tight or have too much slack, and should always be parallel with the floor.
**Wedding apparel is typically sized differently than retail clothing, so keep in mind that it's not uncommon to find yourself requiring alterations.
Bust size: Wrap the tape around your back and under your arms at the fullest part of your bust (not underneath the bust).
Waist size: While standing up straight, bend at the waist to one side. Take the measurement where the natural crease happens in your side. This should be a few inches above your belly button.
Hip size: Standing with your feet together, wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips and butt to get this measurement.
Choosing your correct size
Compare these three measurements to the Kennedy Blue size chart above. It is very important that you order the largest size that corresponds to your measurements. For example, if your bust measures 40.5" (size 12), your waist measures 31" (size 10) and your hips measure 41.5" (size 8), we advise that you order a size 12, and get your dress altered down to custom fit your body. Ordering anything smaller than a size 12 would not fit in the bust area. Please note: Our bridal gown size chart is different than the bridesmaids sizing and is listed below.

Allison wife and mom to four.
i should have guessed. I thought it was some kind of art/craft thing.
hi. first time posting here. I am thinking of moving to Washington from oregon. I am currently unschooling my 3 kids. Is it possible to unschool under washingtons homeschool laws? Thanks tons.
I've been seriously wondering how I could unschool my two girls since the older one, almost 4, refuses to even acknowledge the younger dd (17 months) to even be human.
I think he craves meaningful interactions with other people (friends on his same wavelength). And something else, but I'm not sure exactly what. He has been playing a complicated computer game a lot, lately. It's called Machines at War. You build stuff (walls, factories, power plants) with your funds. You give your troops assignments and they wage war with the opponents. And he creates lego spaceships, a lot. He likes to have battles with them as well.
He likes complicated, interesting things that work (contraptions) but doesn't have the maturity, patience, or dexterity for creating them. I do think his dexterity is fine for his age, but he'd rather have me do things than struggle with them. So if we do science projects, I'm doing most of it and he may or may not actually enjoy them since he gets annoyed waiting around while they are being done. I wish he were more interested in crafts because they are so easy for me to make available.
I remember my oldest brother having the same boredom issues that pretty much went away when we got our first computer when he was 15. He's now working at Google, lol.
I keep thinking maybe it will be better when he can read well, but I have no reason to really believe that since my brother certainly could read before he was 15, lol.
Has he played this? It sounds like it would be right up his alley, my son loves it!
Dang, did I miss the snickerdoodles? No wait, Majikfaerie lives in tomorrow so I'm right on time, right?
Dd STILL won't let me take pics of her hair. It's so cool. She cut it herself - short in the back and longer in the front, with a really long strand on either side of her face. She did what she calls 'coon tails' on the long strands by putting tape on her light hair before she dyed it black, so it has a striped effect. And she left streaks of lightness throughout too. I just love the color - it suits her.
the three of them had an amazingly impressive talking circle about it all, but after all of them sharing how they feel, and talking about options and solutions, they still decided to play together without DD.
And I was joking with dh about the woman picking something up on Monday that I was freecycling who brought two adult burly sons with her. They ALL got out of the car and came up to the porch to pick it up. I happened to glance out the window at that time and see them walking back to the car. THEY had heard the news, I guess! I didn't know for almost a week since it happened last Saturday.
We gotta get out of this area before ds wants to go anyplace by himself
We went to pick up the car from the shop. Went to the mall afterward as requested by ds. On the way back, the car fritzed out again. We ended up getting towed back to the shop, lol. On the bright side, we got out of the house today, and it isn't my car so I don't have to foot the bill!
whoa. that is so scary. that's why we left israel. not murders, but bombs and guns. some guy suicide bombed himself in my street, about 200 ft from our house. i love australia

Patrick 'Lights' Leary is an aging former heavyweight boxing champion who struggles to find his identity and support his wife and three daughters after retiring from the ring. The financial downturn coupled with a series of failed investments leave him at a perilous crossroads - battling the urge to return to boxing or reluctantly accepting a job as a brutal and intimidating debt collector.
|TV Channel:
Beneath the grit, this is a tale of chivalry. [31 Jan 2011, p.40]People Weekly Full Review
A particularly fine new FX drama marred only by a tepid pace in the pilot. But pace and story pick up in subsequent episodes.Newsday Full Review
It sometimes lapses into the abundant cliches of its genre. Pound for pound, though, you won't see many better dramas this season. Gloves on or off, it keeps scoring points.Uncle Barky Full Review
Personally, I have even less interest in boxing than I do in those other worlds, so when I say I swallowed most of the 13-episode first season of FX's new boxing drama, Lights Out in a couple of marathon gulps, it's saying something.Philadelphia Daily News Full Review
Thanks to the sharp writing of Warren Leight and a revelatory lead performance by obscure journeyman actor Holt McCallany, Lights Out is a reminder of why Hollywood keeps making boxing stories. Because when they're done well, they're irresistible.Hitfix Full Review
Beyond the superb pilot, Lights Out begins to get wonderfully nuanced and more interesting with each episode. And though the series avoids most boxing cliches while keeping true to the inescapable elements of "the sweet science," the real key to its success is McCallan.The Hollywood Reporter Full Review
It's quickly clear that this skillfully sustained, sharply plotted series is a fighter saga you'll want to follow to the final bell.Wall Street Journal Full Review
At its strongest, it freshens those themes without melodrama, opting instead for slow-boil tension. The challenge for this artful series is whether that boiling point is too slow for viewers raised on WWE Raw and mixed martial arts.Entertainment Weekly Full Review
Lights Out starts slower but has an even more intriguing anti-hero dad: Patrick "Lights" Leary (in a beautiful and subtle performance by Holt McCallany), a retired heavyweight champion with itchy fists.New York Magazine (Vulture) Full Review
The story of Patrick "Lights" Leary is engrossing from the first bell, with nicely developed plots and psychological twists that transcend the genre cliches of the boxing drama. And the acting is strong where it matters.Boston Globe Full Review
If many of these plot and character elements are straight off the bargain shelf at the Boxing Melodrama R Us superstore, Lights nonetheless gives them new life--partly thanks to a superlative cast and partly because the show resists the biggest cliche of all: the boxer as innocent victim of poverty and circumstance.Miami Herald Full Review
It starts and finishes strong, and in between, it passed the most important test this non-boxing-fan could hold it to: when I finished one episode, I immediately wanted to put another in.Time Full Review
Lights Out has its work cut out for it to find and hold an audience and deliver the proverbial TKO, but on the basis of the work alone, it's a triumph.TV Guide Magazine Full Review
In other words, even the soapier subplots of Lights Out are sparingly written and tautly filmed, and the story never strays too far from the violence that is at its core.The New York Times Full Review
Lights Out isn't an unqualified knockout, but in its milieu, leading man and rich supporting players, score the show a clear winner on points. And that's no bull.Variety Full Review
Chalk up Lights Out as another creative success for FX, the basic cable network that specializes in series with male-skewing milieus.Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Full Review
Lights Out isn't always comfortable watching, because it forces people we like to do things we don't like. But if it's sometimes hard to watch, it's harder not to.New York Daily News Full Review
Lights Out does turn into a good series. A knockout? No. But sometimes, you have to be content to win on points.USA Today Full Review
Lights Out may not reach the level of "The Sopranos," but it has enough going for it to at least earn a shot at the title.San Francisco Chronicle Full Review
Lights Out isn't a knockout, but it's got enough grit and sweat to keep viewers on their toes.Slant Magazine Full Review
It is something shy of electrifying and not always convincing, but it pulls you right along and offers too many good moments and fine performances not to recommend it.Los Angeles Times Full Review
See, despite the fact that Lights Out has every one of these boxing cliches in spades, it also has that thing that makes all great boxing flicks memorable: great acting and characters you pull for despite the fact that you know you're being manipulated.New York Post Full Review
Though deliberately and even artfully paced, Lights Out also feels protracted. It has difficulty establishing momentum in its first few episodes, even with a smattering of intriguing subplots and story lines, and no one character exerts that intangible ability to make us keep watching.Washington Post Full Review
You've been three rounds with this story before. Lights Out sets you up for a sucker punch.Boston Herald Full Review
Lights Out isn't a bad show, but it's frustratingly uneven. It has its moments, but at this stage, it doesn't offer the kind of deeply fascinating and addictive portrait of human nature that we've come to expect from the top tier of cable dramas.The Huffington Post Full Review

Overview of the Conflicts
The scene of numerous violent wars causing massive human suffering in 1990s, Central Africa has been mired in armed conflicts that have defied the international community's capacity for crisis response and management. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the holding of national elections in 2006 closed an important chapter in the country's postwar transition, but failures in army and police reform, insufficient infrastructure and poor governance have left many of the root causes of violence in tact. The situation in the east again escalated from mid-2008, with grave consequences for civilians. A new bilateral alliance with neighbouring Rwanda to move against the [Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda] FDLR rebels in North Kivu signalled a new regional dynamic, but inadequate demobilisation of rebel groups and renewed attacks on civilians from early 2009 have underscored the urgency of a comprehensive political approach to address the ongoing crisis in the region.

It's moving like a slug compared to Samsung's Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow roll out for the Galaxy Note 4 but we expect it to pick up speed in the weeks ahead.
We expect the Galaxy Note 4 to remain on Marshmallow. We haven't seen anyone point to a Nougat release. At least not yet.
Thanks to these roll outs, we know what the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update looks like.
The Galaxy Note 4 update comes with the new Air Command menu that's found on the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 5. There are also some new icons for applications. Similar to the Samsung Galaxy S6's update.

The update is also rolling out to Samsung's budget line of devices. The Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update has made its way over to the Galaxy J5 in India and Europe. Like Samsung's other Marshmallow upgrades, it brings some huge changes to the device.
Samsung's Galaxy Tab S2 Android 6.0.1 update has started to roll out. The upgrade rolling out right now in Germany for the 9-inch model. It brings well-known Marshmallow features and it also brings a multi-user mode. This mode allows you to create separate accounts for family members and friends.
A few more notes:
- The Galaxy Tab S2 9-inch Marshmallow update is also pushing for the 4G model in the Netherlands.
- The Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update is now rolling out for the 8-inch Galaxy Tab S2 in the United Kingdom. The update is similar to the upgrade for the larger version.

- The AT&T Galaxy Tab S2 Marshmallow update is rolling out right now.

It's also pushing out in Australia to the 8-inch Wi-Fi model. The update is a little over 1GB in size and it brings enhancements and new features to the slate.
U.S. Cellular's also started rolling out the Samsung Galaxy S 10.5 Android Marshmallow update after a long wait.
Samsung April Security Update
Google is rolling out April security updates to its Nexus and Pixel devices and Samsung is following suit with April security updates of its own.
The Samsung April security patch is rolling out to several Nougat-powered devices (Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, and more) and it's also hitting devices powered by Android Marshmallow.
In the United States, T-Mobile recently rolled out the April security patch to the Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy Note Edge, two devices that will almost certainly stay on Android 6.0.1.
If you're interested in the specific changes, take a look at the patch notes on the company's website. The latest patch delivers key patches from Samsung and Google.
Android Nougat Update
As we've noted, the Samsung Galaxy Marshmallow roll out has been joined by Samsung's new Android 7.0 Nougat update.
The company's rolling out Galaxy S7 Nougat updates, Galaxy S6 Nougat updates, Galaxy Note 5 Nougat updates, and others.
Samsung's promised several Nougat updates in the first half of 2017 and we expect all of these upgrades to deliver new features, tweaks and fixes for lingering Marshmallow issues.
For more information on the Android Marshmallow's successor, take a look at our Samsung Galaxy Android Nougat roundup and our Android Nougat walkthrough.
Samsung's Android Nougat update will bump devices from Android 6.0.1 to Android 7.0. It's not clear when or if Samsung will bump its devices to Android 7.1.1, the most up-t0-date version of Nougat.
If you own a Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge, we've put together a guide that will take you through the most important things to know about your update.
If you own a Galaxy S6 or Galaxy Note 5, we've put together guides that will take you through the most exciting things about their release.
Install Nougat If You Want Better Security
Let's start with some basics.
If you value your security, and most of you probably do, you'll want to think about installing the Galaxy S7 Nougat update soon after it arrives for your device.
Every month, Google and Samsung release important security patches for Android devices. The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Android Nougat updates should bring the latest security patches to your device.
Samsung's initial batch of Galaxy S7 Nougat updates delivered the company's January security update while upcoming updates will deliver newer security patches from Samsung and Google. You can read more about them over on Samsung's website.
If you failed to download or receive an older security update (December, November, etc), the patches from those updates might be baked into your version of Nougat. If not, you might be forced to install them manually before you can download Nougat.
On top of the patches, Samsung's Galaxy S7 Nougat update brings Samsung Pass, a way to secure your identity using biometric data rather than entering your password or ID.
Samsung Pass is like a master key for your various logins and it relies on Galaxy S7's fingerprint scanner. The biometric data is encrypted and stored safely by Samsung Knox.
