AREVA awarded for its engagement in support of professional equality
Press Release
April 10, 2013
AREVA received the 2013 highest award from the French Agency for the employment of Managers (Apec) for its efforts in support of gender equality. This award, presented by Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, French Minister of Women's Rights and Government spokesperson, recognized the implementation of a program for "annual part-time work for school vacation" at our site in Lyon, France.
Started in 2008 on an experimental basis and made permanent in 2009, this program allows parents on part-time schedules to voluntarily work full-time during the year and accumulate the time to be used during the school vacation periods.
They are also offered the possibility, notably for single-parent families, to be with their children during the vacation period.
Following this success, AREVA decided to expand this program "annual part-time work for school vacation" to the group in France. On December 12, 2012, an agreement on professional equality was signed integrating this program.
"One of the cornerstones of the human resources policy, AREVA works for the advancement of gender equality in the workforce. Our promising results are the outcome of the joint effort of our employees and the human resources department.
This year, we expect that 25% of the group's new hires will be women and hope to increase the number of female apprentices, which is already counts women as 35% of its population," said Luc Oursel, President of AREVA.
Today, female executives represent 22% of the committee boards of AREVA's different entities – and more than 25% of the "Executive Management Board". The group has set two new strategic objectives: to have a 25% female representation in its committee boards by 2014 and 40% representation on the board of directors in 2015.

Jason Quigley back in action in US
Fresh from his first round victory last weekend in Los Angeles, Donegal middleweight Jason Quigley returns to action in the US on Friday week.
The former world amateur silver medallist took just 94 seconds to demolish the challenge of 27 year old American journeyman Lanny Dardar last Friday night..
Quigley is back in action on Friday week, March 20 when he will box in another Golden Boy promotion at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California.
His opponent has yet to be named but the 23 year Irishman probably needs a longer fight at this stage of his career. Dubliner Jamie Kavanagh is also scheduled to feature on the card.
Quigley has fashioned emphatic early wins in his four fights since turning professional. He has spent just 14 minutes and 35 seconds in action in the ring - less than five minutes' of boxing.
'The quicker I can get out the better and busier I am the better,' a delighted Quigley told the Donegal News from his Marina de Rey base in California.
Quigley's busy programme is in sharp contrast to that of Olympic silver medallist John Joe Nevin.
He has had just one fight - at the O3 Arena in Dublin in November which he won in just 88 seconds - since he suffered horrific leg injuries in an attack near his home in Mullingar last summer.
There is no indication when he will be back in the ring.
Meanwhile, Paddy Barnes' Olympic nemesis Zou Shiming has suffered a shock defeat in his professional career.
The Chinese boxer who beat Barnes in the light flyweight category at both the Beijing and London Olympics was defeated by veteran Thailand's Amnat Ruenroeng in an IBF world flyweight title fight in Macu.
Even though Zou was awarded a knockdown against the champion in the second round he struggled throughout the contest and Ruenroeng retained his title on a unanimous (116-111) decision from all three judges.

Poorman's Creole
Recipe by L DJ3309
I cooked for a wealthy old lady that felt the 'help' shouldn't have shrimp, so when I prepared Shrimp Creole for her and her family I made this for the 'help'. The hominy turns pink and looks like shrimp and the tuna gives it taste
Top Review by Clifford Boren
Very good meal. Attempts to "hot" it up with red chili flakes failed. My theory is that the treatment given the corn to make it into hominy had enough alkali in it to neutralize the acid in the chili. Served over brown rice, it is still a really good diner. A nice green salad goes well.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup onion, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup celery, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup green bell pepper

Nicki Minaj Gives Drake a Sexy Lap Dance in 'Anaconda' Teaser Photos
It looks like Drake had the time of his life on the set of Nicki Minaj's new video for her booty-bumpin' single 'Anaconda.'
It looks like Drake had the time of his life on the set of Nicki Minaj's new video for her booty-bumpin' single 'Anaconda.'
Nicki Minaj may not be responding to Lil Kim's feud jabs, but she's definitely striking back at Miley Cyrus and her 'Anaconda' spoofs.
When Lil Kim picks a feud with someone, she goes hard or goes home. And this rapper is not going home!
Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj have a longstanding history of openly throwing shade at each other, and Kim reignited the flames when she came at the Young Money rapper in a remix of Beyonce's 'Flawless.'
What better way to celebrate Nicki Minaj's new single than with an 'Anaconda' video teaser?
Showing that she's still not short of surprises, Beyonce late last night (Aug. 2) dropped a new remix of 'Flawless' featuring Nicki Minaj on her official website.
Excitement has been building over Jessie J's new single 'Bang Bang' featuring both Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj, and now that it's out (through a day-early leak), there's no doubt it's lived up to the hype.
Nicki Minaj has never been shy about flaunting her, uh, assets and her 'Anaconda' cover art is no exception!
Two bits of Nicki Minaj news today: First, the 31-year-old rapper has revealed that she does have plans to go on tour again in 2015. Second, listen to a new remix of August Alsina's 'No Love' featuring Minaj on vocals.
We got the first taste of Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj's song 'Bang Bang' and already it's even more amazing than we were expecting!
We're huge, huge fans of Nicki Minaj's new, back to basics look. If we need any proof that the pared-down look is working for her, we have to look no further than her dress at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards!
In recent years, Nicki Minaj, like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, went to extremes with her hair, clothes and makeup. But like Perry with 'Prism,' Minaj is reeling it in and taking a step back, choosing to go the more au naturel route with her image, as well as her music.


text: RED BANK, N.J., Feb. 24, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:HOV), a leading national homebuilder, announced that senior management will be presenting at the J.P. Morgan Global High Yield and Leveraged Finance Conference on Tuesday, February 25, 2014 at 9:40 a.m. ET, and is providing comments on its fiscal 2014 first quarter in connection with its presentation. The meeting may include a discussion of market conditions, business outlook and comments on the Company's fiscal 2014 first quarter. As indicated by last week's reported declines in the NAHB Sentiment Index and U.S. housing starts, the homebuilding industry's recovery has been weaker than expected during the past few months. Similar to what other homebuilders have recently reported, Hovnanian's net contracts per community during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 have decreased from the level reported during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Hovnanian expects to report increases in gross margin, backlog and revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to last year's first quarter, however the revenue increase was meaningfully lower than it had anticipated. During the first quarter, a slower sales pace, poor weather conditions and certain labor and material shortages in some markets that extended construction cycle times, among other factors, adversely impacted home deliveries. As a result of the Company's lower than expected revenue growth, the Company now expects to report a pre-tax loss for its fiscal 2014 first quarter that is slightly greater than the pre-tax loss reported for the first quarter of the previous year. Hovnanian's first quarter has always been the slowest seasonal period and the Company expects to report stronger results as the year progresses. The J.P. Morgan Global High Yield and Leveraged Finance Conference presentation will be webcast live through the "Investor Relations" section of Hovnanian Enterprises' website at http://www.khov.com. It is suggested that participants access the webcast event page at least five minutes before the live event. For those who are not available to listen to the live webcast, an archive of the broadcast will be available under the "Audio Archives" section of the "Investor Relations" page on the Hovnanian website at http://www.khov.com. As previously announced, Hovnanian Enterprises expects to hold its regularly scheduled fiscal 2014 first quarter financial results conference call on March 5, 2014.

"Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing"
(Abraham Lincoln)
This post is about a book I am reading at the moment and titled 'Rethinking Reputation' by Fraser P. Seitel and John Doorley.
I usually write about a book once I have finished reading it in its entire length. Today I make an exception.
The reason is because I have just read one chapter (titled 'The Power of your personal and company brand') that has made me reflect on one of the most important challenges that organisations face: having employees that have faith in their leaders, employees that believe their leaders truly live the values of the organisations. In fact, recently I have been thinking a lot about this particular topic.
The authors write about P. Roy Vagelos's life and describe some leadership lessons that can be derived from his style, personality, approach and behavior. Under his leadership, the pharmaceutical company Merck became one of the world's most admired companies.
Below are my marginalia extrapolated from that chapter:
"From unremarkable beginnings, P. Roy Vagelos grew up to become a great scientist, to head one of the most successful companies ever, and to oversee the development of more important new medicines than any company introduced before or since. Along the way, he became a great communicator through the sheer quality of his character.
Roy Vagelos helped make lots of money for Merck, its shareholders and its employees. But that's not all he did. Even though he knew the company could not make a profit on a medicine that could defeat devastating diseases (e.g. the Mectizan for defeating river blindness in Africa) he would encourage his scientists to proceed. Then, he would donate the medicine 'anywhere it is needed for as long as necessary' (Roy Vagelos: "There was no choice but to develop Mectizan and to donate it").
Writer and editor John Byrne wrote about Roy Vagelos in the BusinessWeek in 1987 (that was the first appearance of Vagelos as a celebrity CEO). Byrne remembers that 'Dr. Vagelos was an extraordinary leader, one of the finest and most admired corporate chieftains of his generation. What made him so remarkably effective in the job was his ability to relate to and engage with all of Merck's employees, from scientists in the labs to the personal assistants behind office desks. During his stint as CEO, Merck was nothing less than an innovation machine, developing one blockbuster drug after another. Despite the company's incredible success, Dr. Vagelos stayed true to his own very high values of integrity and authenticity".
Roy Vagelos: "I always believed in dedication, zeal. Once you believe in something, go for it…Sometimes, it is simply a matter of doing the right thing, which can sound self-righteous, but it's true. I sometimes have a hard time understanding how so many leaders in government and industry say they faced these very difficult moral choices. I don't know that I ever faced a difficult problem that wasn't easily resolved in the end by asking, what is the right thing to do?"
Talk with Roy Vagelos about reputation, and he will say it is all about performance and behavior. Reluctantly, he will consent to the proposition that communication is a factor…He believed in 'transparency' long before it was a buzzword.
Judy Lewent (Chief Financial Officer): "He has a way of complimenting your work that is clearly genuine, and he can shoot you a look of disapproval that tells you are on the wrong track, without so much as one word. He is one of the best motivators I have ever known".
And he often does that by telling stories. Roy Vangelos: "People, organisations, even countries, have long memories…Stories! Family history, company history – it is all important"."
Below are some leadership lessons and principles that we can learn from Dr Vagelos way of leading, behaving and being:
· Know who you are and what you stand for. Let it constantly be reflected in your performance, behavior and communication.
· Communication should always be true to actual performance, behavior and what the organization stands for.
· Once you find good people to work with, you have to simply trust them to do a good job.
· Communication is the lifeblood of an organization. Don't let sclerosis set in.
· Good leaders must be good communicators.
· People, organisations and even countries can have long memories.
I felt the need of reporting the story of Dr Vangelos as described and presented in 'Rethink Reputation' as I found it very powerful.
I believe that employees can have faith in their leaders – and they are very willing to do that - if they perceived that leaders truly genuinely live the values of the organization and got real evidence of that.
Leaders are followed if they are the very first engaged with the purpose of the company, never forget the importance of quality relationships and communication with their employees at all level (and understand how to build those relationships and communications), have strength of character, integrity and consistency in the way they perform, behave and communicate.
"You cannot accomplish anything without being able to motivate people above you, below you and on the side. Over the long term, you can only do that by the force of who you are and what you stand for"
(Roy Vagelos)

|Brief Summary
|Detailed Description
This research project aims to gain insight in how the physical environment of the CT scan suite affects patients' health and well-being. Patients undergoing procedures in a CT scan suite are often anxious and frightened. Stress reactions can be considered a clinical problem since they often result in negative or worsened medical outcomes. Reduction in state anxiety may help to promote relaxation, which in turn is beneficial for a patient's sense of well-being.
Primary Objective: to determine whether a skyceiling lowers stress and anxiety during diagnostic procedures in a CT scan suite.
Secondary Objective(s): to determine whether a skyceiling improves environmental appraisals, mood, satisfaction with the provided service, time perception, and trust in the healthcare provider.

The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was a peace treaty signed on March 3, 1918, at Brest-Litovsk (now Brest, Belarus) between the Russian SFSR and the Central Powers, marking Russia's exit from World War I.
Armistice negotiations
Leon Trotsky being greeted by German officers in Brest-LitovskPeace negotiations began on December 22, 1917, a week after the conclusion of an armistice between Russia and the Central Powers, at Brest-Litovsk (modern Brest, Belarus, near the Polish border). The Germans were represented officially by Foreign Secretary Richard von Kühlmann, but the most important figure in shaping the peace on the German side was General Max Hoffmann, Chief of Staff of the German armies on the Eastern Front (Oberkommando-Ostfront). Austria-Hungary was represented by Foreign Minister Ottokar Czernin, and from the Ottoman Empire came Talat Pasha. The Germans demanded the "independence" of Poland and Lithuania, which they already occupied, while the Bolsheviks demanded "peace without annexations or indemnities" — in other words, a settlement under which the revolutionary government that succeeded the Russian Empire would give neither territory nor money.
The peace delegations that met at Brest-Litovsk were a very mixed assembly. On the one hand there were highly conservative representatives and noblemen from the monarchic German Empire and Austria-Hungary and on the other side were representatives of a radical revolutionary government that had never been seen before in the World and that openly proclaimed the aim of World Revolution. The first impressions after a common dinner were ambivalent. Count Ottokar Czernin, leader of the Austro-Hungarian delegation later wrote[2]:
The leader of the Russian delegation is a Jew, named Joffe, who has recently been released from Siberia [...] after the meal I had a first conversation with Mr. Joffe. His whole theory is simply based on the universal application of the right of self-governance of nations in the broadest form. The thus liberated nations then have to be brought to love each other [...] I advised him that we would not attempt to imitate the Russian example and that we likewise would not tolerate a meddling in our internal affairs. If he continued to hold on his utopic viewpoints the peace would not be possible and then he would be well advised just to take the journey back with the next train. Mr. Joffe looked astonishedly at me with his gentle eyes and was silent for a while. Then he continued in an for me ever unforgettable friendly - I would even nearly say suppliant - tone: "I very much hope that we will be able to raise the revolution also in your country."
The German state secretary Richard von Kühlmann noted:
The Moscovites had a woman as a delegate - of course simply for propaganda reasons. She had shot a Gouverneur who had been unpopular among the Leftists and was not sentenced to death but to life-long imprisonment due to the mild Tsarist practise. This person who looked about like an elderly housekeeper, Madame Bizenko, apparently a simple-minded fanatic, detailed Prince Leopold of Bavaria who sat next to her at the dinner table how she had conducted the assault. She showed - holding the menu card in her left hand - how she handed over a petition to the General Gouverneur - "he was an evil man", she explained - and shot him into the underside with a revolver she had kept conceiled in her right hand. Prince Leopold listened in his usual friendly advertence as if he was vividly interested in the murderer's story.
The later leader of the Soviet delegation, Leon Trotsky later reported:
I met with this sort of people for the first time. It is unnecessary to emphasize that I had no illusions about them. But I admit that I had expected the level to be higher. The impression of my first meeting could be summarized in the following statement: These people do not have a high estimation of their counterparts, but they also do not have a high estimation of themselves.
It is important to note that these negotiations were taking place about nine months after the United States had declared war on Germany, but before the Americans were making a significant contribution on the Western Front. The Bolsheviks likely believed that the Germans would seize the opportunity to make a separate peace with Russia (even on moderate terms) so that they would have an opportunity to defeat France and Great Britain before the Americans arrived, even if this meant they would have to settle for less generous terms.
Frustrated with continued German demands for cessions of territory, Leon Trotsky, Bolshevik People's Commissar for Foreign Relations (i.e., Foreign Minister), and head of the Russian delegation, on February 10, 1918, announced Russia's withdrawal from the negotiations and unilateral declaration of the ending of hostilities, a position summed up as "no war — no peace".
Denounced by other Bolshevik leaders for exceeding his instructions and exposing Bolshevist Russia to the threat of invasion, Trotsky subsequently defended his action on the grounds that the Bolshevik leaders had originally entered the peace talks in the hope of exposing their enemies' territorial ambitions and rousing the workers of central Europe to revolution in defense of Russia's new workers' state.
Resumed hostilities
Signing of the treaty, March 3, 1918The consequences for the Bolsheviks were worse, however, than anything they had feared the previous December. The Central Powers repudiated the armistice on February 18, 1918, and in the next fortnight seized most of Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltic countries. Through the ice of the Baltic Sea, a German fleet approached the Gulf of Finland and Russia's capital Petrograd. Despite strikes and demonstrations the month before in protest against economic hardship, the workers of Germany failed to rise up, and on March 3 the Bolsheviks agreed to terms worse than those they had previously rejected.
Terms of the peace treaty
Borders drawn up in Brest-LitovskThe treaty, signed between Bolshevik Russia on the one side and the German Empire, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Ottoman Empire (collectively the Central Powers) on the other, marked Russia's final withdrawal from World War I as an enemy of her co-signatories, fulfilling, on unexpectedly humiliating terms, a major goal of the Bolshevik revolution of November 7, 1917.
In all, the treaty took away a third of Russia's population, half of its industry and nine-tenths of its coal mines.
Transfer of territory to Germany
Russia's new Bolshevik (communist) government renounced all claims on Finland (which it had already acknowledged), the future Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), Poland, Belarus, Ukraine.
Most of these territories were in effect ceded to the German Empire, intended to become economically dependent on and politically closely tied to that empire under various German kings and dukes.
Regarding the ceded territories, the treaty stated that "Germany and Austria-Hungary intend to determine the future fate of these territories in agreement with their population" with few other effects than the appointment of German rulers to the new thrones of Latvia and Lithuania.
Occupation of the ceded territories by Germany required large amounts of manpower and trucks, and yielded little in the way of foodstuffs or other war material. However, the Germans transferred hundreds of thousands of veteran troops to the Western Front as rapidly as they could, where a series of spring offensives were unleashed to defeat the Allies.
Transfer of territory to the Ottoman Empire
At the insistence of the Turkish leader Talat Pasha, all lands Russia had captured from the Ottoman Empire in the Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878), specifically Ardahan, Kars, and Batumi, were to be returned. This territory was under the effective control of Democratic Republic of Armenia until 1921.
Paragraph 3 of Article IV of this treaty specifically states that:
"The districts of Erdehan, Kars, and Batum will likewise and without delay be cleared of the Russian troops. Russia will not interfere in the reorganization of the national and international relations of these districts, but leave it to the population of these districts, to carry out this reorganization in agreement with the neighboring States, especially with Turkey."
Protection of Armenians' right to self-determination
Russia supported the right of the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire and Russia to determine their destiny, by ensuring the conditions necessary for a referendum as follows:
- The retreat (within 6-8 weeks) of Russian armed forces to the borders of the Democratic Republic of Armenia, and the formation in the ADR of a military power responsible for security (including disarming and dispersing the Armenian militia). The Russians were to be responsible for order (protecting life and property) in Ardahan, Kars, and Batumi until the arrival of the Ottomans.
- The return by the Ottoman Empire of Armenian emigrants who had taken refuge in nearby areas (Ardahan, Kars, and Batumi).
- The return of Ottoman Armenians who had been exiled by the Turkish Government since the beginning of the war.
- The establishment of a temporary National Armenian Government formed by deputies elected in accordance with democratic principles (the Armenian National Council became the Armenian Congress of Eastern Armenians, which established the Democratic Republic of Armenia). The conditions of this government would be put forward during peace talks with the Ottoman Empire.
- The Commissar for Caucasian Affairs would assist the Armenians in the realization of these goals.
- A joint commission would be formed in order that Armenian lands could be evacuated of foreign troops.
Payment of war reparations to Germany A follow-up treaty, signed in Berlin on August 27, 1918, required Russia to pay six billion marks in war reparations to Germany.

5 Most Stylish Way to Decor Mirror in Bathroom
When considering the decoration, or redecoration, of your bathroom, the mirror is a piece that shouldn't miss. Still, there are several types of mirrors you can use, depending on the final effect you want to create in the bathroom. Just take a look at the following decor mirrors, and see which one suits your needs best.
1) Frameless Mirror
A frameless mirror can look very modern, especially if it has a particular shape or engraving on its surface. It is a more discreet appearance in the bathroom, looking like being embedded in the wall, due to the absence of the frame. So it doesn't matter if you like to get a heart-shaped frameless mirror, because it won't look awkward in the bathroom, as long as it fits with the assembly of decorations you already picked for your bathroom. It is all about making all the decoration elements merge together and creating a balanced general picture, one you will make you feel pleasant when walking inside.

2) Framed Mirror
A framed mirror can also bring a lot of effect to your bathroom. In fact, if you pick a mirror with a well decorated frame, you could solve a lot of the bathroom decoration process by using only this item. Framed mirrors can be great decor mirrors, because they can bring a great deal of details to a bathroom, helping you do more with less. With such a mirror, you won't need to get a great number of other decorative items, because the frame will do all the work. Of course, it depends very much how the frame is made, because simple frames might not have the same effect as a decorated frame.

3) Venetian Mirror
If you want to take one step back in time, making your bathroom feel like a piece taken from a castle, the Venetian mirror may be exactly what you need. Such a mirror will give the impression of luxury, opulence, romanticism, due to its heavily decorated frame, which looks more like a piece of art than anything else. It is the detail you need if you want to make the entire enclosure have a distinct air, making you feel like descending into a time where princes and princesses still walk around, in chariots pulled by white horses. It is a very intriguing decor mirror.

4) Shadow box Mirror
The shadow box mirror is a mirror with a frame that is more noticeable than the traditional frame, because it is made to appear bigger than the mirror, like putting it inside a box. Again, the effect depends on the type of frame, as it can be simple, made out of materials having various colors, or it can be a decorated frame. Still, it is definitely a type of decor mirror that will capture all the attention, due to its out of the ordinary appearance. So if you want something special, but not too opulent, the shadow box mirror may just to the trick for you.

5) Fog-Free Mirror
Probably the most disturbing aspect of a mirror is the fact that it gets foggy after you take a shower. So if you will want to see your face in it, you won't be able to do so, until you remove the fog on its surface. Well, there are modern decor mirrors that are fog-free. They are specially made to resist the high moisture and temperature that is in the bathroom while having a shower or hot bath, so you can use it right on the spot, without the need to clean the mirror. It is a very practical and modern mirror, something you should think about when decorating your bathroom.

ADHD: Suffering in Silence: Women With Adult ADHD (cont.)
Although these girls may get good grades or are praised for their work, they often feel they don't deserve it, and that chance had something to do with their success. So they work harder to prove themselves, to the point of sacrificing sleep and good nutrition, or setting up a very rigid schedule for themselves in a sometimes obsessive-compulsive manner.
As girls become women and take on more responsibilities, the stakes grow higher, even without ADHD. Many of today's women are expected to not only work, but also take care of the house and children.
The average woman is already doing more, says Terry Matlen, MSW, author of Survival Tips For Women with ADHD: Beyond Piles, Palms, and Post-its. She says, "If you add the burden of ADHD symptoms -- getting overwhelmed, being forgetful, being hyperactive, or being disorganized -- to deal with that, on top of taking care of children... plus being a wife and handling a job, it's just more than one can imagine."
Instead of recognizing the adult ADHD factor, however, many women and their families see their difficulties as merely a part of the stress of modern-day living. Other factors that can aggravate ADHD symptoms and potentially throw women off the ADHD trail include:

Alright, here is the situation...
There is this girl that I'm like so in love with, any she accepted my friend request on facebook today, I would like to send a message but I'm really not sure what to send. I haven't talked to her in person yet because I am really shy

Dear Username110011,
approaching women may prove to be a challenge, as you are clearly aware. The most common challenge men face is fear, followed and often caused by insecurity. There are also many factors which decide the outcome of an approach, but fortunately, most of the necessary qualities develop naturally.
I highly suggest that you learn from these men: Jad T Johnson, Arash Dibazar, Elliott Hulse; you will find them on YouTube.
As for now, I will give you one short lesson, and it has to do with displaying your value. See, when you approach a woman, you have to give her a reason to stay interested in you. Your qualities and standards have to be obvious, as well as your intention (s). Imagine having a big sign above your head, which lists your intentions, and all your good and bad qualities.
As for texting, I suggest keeping it short, simple, playfull, and definitely gravitating towards your desired goal, which is meeting her in person.
So, be you, be open, have fun, display your views without shame, and keep it playfull.
If you have any questions, or would like to discuss this topic, send a message and I will reply.
Best regards, lijep pozdrav,

SURVEYS were applied strictly to the lay of the land sometime in the hazy past. Geodetic, that's what it were. A land survey is meant to pinpoint a tract of land's boundaries—to be plugged in with concrete markers called mujones defining an exact area to be girded. A survey like that helps in precise plotting. Uh, no coup plots then.
Plots are similarly hatched in today's surveys that come in various guises and disguises. Most are stabs that cut across the minds of people, mindless or mindful. Say, a survey of TV viewing habits seeks to convince advertisers to plunk down sums of money on programs that pander to the greatest number of candidates for lobotomy and the mentally comatose.
Instead of mujones driven into skulls of the surveyed, TV programmers are prompted into revelry over the huge tracts of brain areas they have gained over a stretch of weeks. Presumably, those tracts would be possessed in due time as programmers ply some more of the same viewing fare. To draw more and more numbskulls that could be raked over as numbers.
It's a numbers game—the more, the merrier— similar to those failed attempts at ousting the current top tenant of Malacañang via impeachment. A handful would go through the motions of unseating her. The merrier more would thwart such attempts. They would consequently claim… nah, not victory but larger chunks of largesse distributed by the Palace in a gesture like those of advertisers going after the greater numbers of TV viewers. It's an enriching process.
As the May electoral exercises draw nigh, expect surveyors to come knocking at your doors to pick your brains— and groins whether it's worth picking at or pickling. Surveys can give ample clues what political consumers want or expect in the wares proffered at 'em.
In turn, political upstarts and grizzlies can dovetail, even overhaul and custom-fit their profiles to the liking of a not-so-discriminating market.
Consumers would be asked about their likes and dislikes. The ascertained likeable qualities would go into a patchwork picture of the candidate who aims to earn the consumers' nod. The dislikeable traits as defined by consumers would be heaped on our candidate's rivals to make 'em more detestable and abhorrent, only dogs would cast votes for such ogres.
Survey questions ought to bring out the profile of a winner at the polls. Say, ply these among households that cuts across a wide swathe of voters in a targeted area. (1) Check three of the most appealing qualities that you want for your governor; (2) Check three among the problems listed below that you want to your governor to solve immediately; (3) Check three among the programs listed below that you want your governor to implement immediately; (4) In your opinion, what style and colors of clothing and accessories would be most appealing and appropriate for your governor? Check three; (5) Based on the list below, check the most appropriate style and color of hair for your governor.
The checks ought to be turned to cash, oops, we mean these checks are to be tallied and thoroughly pored over. The voters have to be pleased, amused, won over.
As with democracies, the greater numbers ought to have the last word on a politico's over-all appearance, the programs and projects he intends to pursue, down to the numbers of mistresses he can keep off the public eye—it's the rule of law of supply and demand.
Campaign posters, streamers, and handbills ought to project a product of popular perception as gleaned and gauged from pre-campaign surveys. We know what the public wants.
Vote Kumag Dakupal for Governor. Guwapo na sexy pa. Mapagbigay ng pera atbp. Walang tikwas ang buhok kahit kalbo na. Pag-asa ng bayan laban sa balakubak, cellphone snatching, at walang load. Isusulong ang pagpapatayo ng bilyaran, basketball court, at videoke bawat kanto.
There's a soft focus full-body shot of a candidate amid a horde of children, smiling like a toothpaste endorser, long tresses with blonde highlights without a crease or stray bit of hair, garbed in a cream blazer over a black t-shirt, no slacks to complete the get-up, just thong panties.
There's your candidate who'll win the polls.

Critics Reviews Audience Reviews
Jolly Days, the Kannada remake of the Telugu film Happy Days, has a freshness that Sandalwood has not seen for quite a while. This vibrant film completely clears the tarnished image of college students as aimless spoilt brats without any goals. Here, the lead characters are studious, have the right attitude and are serious about what they do. The film imparts energy, youthfulness and vigour into the audience.

Shraddha Kapoor is the kind of girl you can't blame your boyfriend for having a crush on. Everything about her is the very embodiment of delicacy and refinement: small, perfectly-shaped features, a toned body and a melodious voice. And there's that innate sense of confidence too. But the 20-something actress prefers to keep a Grand Canyon-size divide between her personal and professional life. While she gregariously discusses everything from her failures to her competition and even mentor Aditya Chopra, she sticks to calling her alleged romantic relationship with Aditya Roy Kapur, a friendship. "I don't want to make gossip headlines," she smiles, perched in a corner, sipping on a cup of freshly-brewed coffee. In her case particularly, this cautiousness is not a put off. Because Shraddha displays a certain vulnerability as she clings onto her beliefs with dear life. Excerpts from the conversation:
After the initial setback with Teen Patti and Luv Ka The End, what kept you going?
It was the failure of these films that made me stronger. Luv Ka The End didn't fare too badly but it was a small film and wasn't something to brag home about either. Also, people assumed
that I'd continue to get work because I am Shakti Kapoor's daughter. That is so far from the truth. I gave a lot of auditions post my first two films. I was even finalised for a film but got replaced… Looking back, I'm happy Aashiqui 2 happened after I got a taste of failure because that film changed my life overnight. Success hit me like a lightning bolt. I don't think I would've been able to handle it had I not experienced failure before.
How so?
I believe I have more strength to detach now. This industry consumes you but once you've seen failure, you know you can't let success go to your head. If I hadn't known it, maybe it would've gotten to me.
In a recent interview to Filmfare, Shakti Kapoor said that you used to be a brat and were spoiled silly by your aunt, Padmini Kohlapure...
(Pauses) Yeah, I was the pampered child. In fact, my dad pampered me too. Maybe, because I was the only girl in the family. In fact, when my father sees me today, he can't believe that I'm working so hard since I always led a sheltered life. Recently, he told me he believes there's a boy hidden in me somewhere. Like I am both his daughter and son. That feels nice. Your father even said that when you were younger, you used to throw fits if you didn't get your way… (Laughs, looking a bit shocked) He said that?
(Giggles) Well, I wasn't a friendly child. I was reserved and mostly kept to myself. My family tells me they've noticed a sea change in me after I've grown up. But I guess that's natural. Your surroundings, friends, college, etc. do make a lot of difference to your personality.
So you're a friendlier person today?
Yeah. Now I am also friendly with people who are not so nice. From what I've learnt, it's nice to be friendly. It's nice to make people feel good about themselves.
What is your take on your immediate competitors, Alia Bhatt and Parineeti Chopra?
I'm well aware that there is competition. But there's also enough work. All three of us are busy doing different kinds of films. People look at us differently. We all have our niche, where we fit in. And we're all getting equal amounts of work.
What sets you apart from the two?
Recently, I visited Jaipur for the first time. And it's been almost a year since Aashiqui 2 released. But the minute I stepped out of a store there, people started screaming Aarohi (her character's name in Aashiqui 2). The fact that my film and character have penetrated the heartland of the country is what sets me apart. I've connected with the masses. My film has had a phenomenal impact.
What kind of equation do you share with Alia and Parineeti?
I first met Parineeti while she was working on Ladies vs Ricky Bahl and thought she was rather cool. We get along well. You just connect with some people. In fact, at parties, we girls are like magnets; we end up chilling together. We are comfortable with one another, which is how it should be.
It's healthy competition then?
Yes, absolutely. In fact, I remember complimenting Alia for her performance in 2 States too. I thought she was superb in the film. All of us know that we are here to compete and we want to do well. So that's what we focus on. Also, I am not insecure. If you're confident about your skills and you know what your strengths are, you can be happy for other people too.
You recently even patched up with Aditya Chopra. How did that happen?
When we recently spoke, he said he loved my song (Galliyan unplugged) and the promo of my film, Ek Villain. And he said it in a way that he was proud of me… It was touching. I had called him because I wanted to use the gym at YRF, as I need to get fitter for ABCD 2 and there are fewer disturbances there. He sweetly gave me permission.
There has been talk about you going steady with Aditya Roy Kapur. Why don't you two just come clean?
Arrey, I would come clean if there was something there. Aditya and I are good friends. We share a close bond because of our Aashiqui 2 journey. We enjoy hanging out together. But there's nothing more between us.
Yes. We aren't dating.
Okay, tell me, what is the one thing you like about Aditya?
I love his sense of humour. He's always cracking me up. I also like the fact that Aditya is a bankable friend. All his friends will vouch for that.
Is there something about him that irritates you?
(Grins) He's thoda lazy sometimes but I feel that is changing now. (Pauses) Actually, no matter how focussed he gets, he'll still have that laidback vibe.
So you're single at the moment?
Yes, I am. And maybe that's because nobody has come and swept me off my feet yet. Only then is a relationship worth it.
When in a relationship, are you a possessive girlfriend?
(Smiles) A little bit. I used to trust people easily but now I'm a little careful because some experiences have taught me to not trust anyone blindly.
Is infidelity a deal breaker for you?
I have never experienced it. But if I do, it would definitely be a deal breaker. You can't cheat on me and then expect me to take you back. In fact, cheating shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.
What turns you off in a guy?
Lack of etiquette and manners is a huge turn off. Men who don't behave decently are irrtating. Also, I don't like guys who show off. When will guys realise that girls hate show offs.
Aditya is a lazy fellow

I am a terrible influence. I'd only let you down.
I thought you sir were indifferent. How are you a terrible influence?
Well that is wise for you to see it. I was tempted to mention that. Do you want to change or are you lacking empathy or full of hate?
Well I do wonder and this may not mean anything but if you were truly disinterested would you even know that you were disinterested?
Are you satisfied with being disinterested? Do you consider yourself a happy person inside?
Have you ever been diagnosed with any autism or Asperger's?
What do others think about you if they were to describe you? (feel free to tell me I am prying and I will stop with the questions).
Yes but what do others think is my question. If you like use several example of different people in your life.
Fair answer. Do you know why others may dislike you? Is it because you are disinterested and they take that as you being a snob/better than them?
Well that is a good burden to be free of. Most people put much stock in how others see them.
For the world yes but for you personally it certainly is a weight lifted. Now would I prefer to have compassion combined with the confidence of not caring what others thought of me? Well I do a little. I am human and wired differently. I still am naive and have hope in people but I do care what some people think of me. As I age I think less and less of that but maybe will always care to some degree. Can I ask what kind of work you do?
Not sure you got what I meant as I didn't quite word it right. I will leave you be. I should have said a weight lifted off some as long as it did not have other consequences that one would not like or want. I did ask before if you were happy. So I have little to go on and won't bother assuming anymore. Be well.

Wärtsilä received the Best Paper Award in the "Strategy for a Changing Power Sector" category at the Power-Gen Europe 2014 conference in Cologne, Germany last week. The lead author of the article, "Optimal Balancing Products for Cross Border Sharing in Power Systems with High Shares of Renewables", is Wärtsilä's Market Development Director Melle Kruisdijk.
The paper discusses the optimal design of reserve capacity products from both technical and economic perspectives in systems with high shares of wind and solar energy in Europe. Due to increasing intermittent generation, the need for reserve capacity and frequency restoration products increases. The paper shows the system benefits fast-responding reserves can provide, from either spinning or stand-still position. Agile capacity not only secures power supply in systems with high shares of wind and solar but also reduces operational costs. The article is based on a study by DNV GL.

Meeker County deputy, Litchfield officer receive award for lifesaving efforts
LITCHFIELD -- Meeker County Sheriff's Deputy Bill Hudson and Litchfield Police Officer Aaron Nelson were recently recognized with a life-saving award for helping to save the life of a man in February.
Sheriff Jeff Norlin announced the awards as part of the 2012 employee recognition awards in his department.
According to the letter commending the officers, Hudson was the first officer who arrived just after 5 a.m. Feb. 17 at a residence south of Litchfield regarding an unresponsive male. He moved the man to the floor, connected the man to an automatic external defibrillator and started CPR.
Nelson arrived and helped with the CPR, along with administering two shocks with the AED.
The man regained a pulse and started breathing. He was taken to Meeker Memorial Hospital in Litchfield and then airlifted to St. Cloud Hospital for further treatment.
Also receiving awards were Deputy Marc Berris, who received the Sheriff's Achievement Award, for his work in creating and maintaining the department's Facebook and Twitter accounts, plus his work on educating staff and deputies on gun laws and autism. Berris is a part-time deputy who also works as an attorney.
Rebecca Miller, of the county's information and technology department, received an Exceptional Service Award for hard work, dedication and assistance to the department.

Feature requests: Login lockdown to show real IP (and not range) and whitelist
I like very much this plugin, I think it's better than other ones that maybe are bloated and barely supported.
I have some requests that I hope you can accept.
First is about the login lockdown feature. It stores IP range (xxx.xxx.xxx.*) instead of the IP. This maybe is a stronger way of blocking an attacker, but can block legitimated users too.
When a login attack is performed from many IP addresses, is rarely done from a xxx.xxx.xxx.* range. And storing only this range, you avoid the admin to knowing the exact IP of the attacker. And that's a very useful information for tracking down the IP on logs and other places.
So I think it would be much better to use the IP and not the IP range, or at least to add the real IP to information logged too.
A whitelist system would be a very nice feature too. So you can whitelist some IP or IP range from the login protection. Without it, sometimes legitimated users can be blocked due to this users trying to login again and again without contacting the admin… (damm users! ;)).
Any chance to see this?
- The topic 'Feature requests: Login lockdown to show real IP (and not range) and whitelist' is closed to new replies.

Microsoft is enjoying a considerable effort on the part of testers for Windows 10, who are reporting a considerable number of bugs and helping push the new operating system along quickly.
Gabe Aul, engineering general manager for the Operating Systems Group at Microsoft, made his December blog update on Windows all about fixes and improvements, and there are a lot. He said that more 1.5 million registered Windows Insiders are banging away at Windows 10, about 450,000 of whom are considered "highly active." This is much higher than any previous public beta for Windows.
Microsoft has been receiving feedback from the Windows Insider Program in the forms of both bug reports and suggestions for changes/additions/improvements. Aul said that so far, Microsoft has fixed almost 1,300 bugs that were reported by users in the program.
"My favorite recent example of the latter is a bug that would have been really tricky to catch with test automation or by other means: In certain circumstances (very rare) the OneDrive icon in File Explorer can be replaced by the Outlook icon! That's the kind of fit and finish bug that real usage at scale by Windows Insiders helps us find and fix."
The bug reports are through three builds: 9841, 9860, and 9879. Some remain unfixed but are known to Microsoft and simply aren't urgent. And changes requested by users are making their way into the OS as well.
For example, we added the option to choose which folder is the default when opening File Explorer, which many of you requested. We also added the ability to turn off recent files and/or frequent folders in "Home," and added a little animation/transition when opening the Start menu, which were also frequently requested.
He also talked about fixing numerous kernel-level bugs and causes of blue screen failures, which have been greatly reduced from earlier builds.
Aul ended his post by saying that users will see a few new big things and a lot of small improvements coming in future builds of Windows 10. Rumor has it there will be a new build in January and a wider public beta in February.

Hartwick Pines is rich in scenic beauty and different habitats. The principal features of this park are the 49-acre forest of Old Growth Pines and logging museum. There is ample subject matter for the sports person, photographer, or naturalist throughout the year.
Love the pines!
Once you find a sign and understand the rectangular shape of the loops, you'll be fine. Signage is minimal but it is definitely marked. I went just before the fall colors typically arrive so I can't speak to the aesthetic of the trail with regards to beauty, but for the most part the trail in wide and mostly flat (although be aware - when the elevation does change, it does drastically!)
Lovely; nice to see the pines and the chapel
Walked a 3rd of the loop. Very peaceful forest trial. Spotted mushroom and a colorful fall walk. Also a very open trail for bikes. It was as if I was the only one there.
Nice area to trail run train the Danes .. Just don't wimp out on the hill .. Lol
Great think forest and a great hike.
129 miles of river started 8:30 am Friday September 6, 2013. Finished Sunday, September 8, 2013. 24 hours 15 minutes of actual paddling. Grayling, Michigan to Oscoda, Michigan. Overnight on Mio Pond on Friday. Camped on Cook Pond, Saturday Night. Finished in Oscoda at Finish Line Park, at 1:47 pm, Sunday.

This little treasure is called 'the boyfriend' by her long suffering husband, who says if it vibrated, there'd be no need for him. Susan hasn't had the heart to tell him there's an app for that…
She is never happier than when sitting in the confines of her living room/study/on a cold station platform scribbling down words and making two men fall in love. She is a romantic at heart and believes that everything happens (for the most part) for a reason. She likes to think of herself as a 'half full' kinda gal, although sometimes that philosophy is sorely tested.
In an ideal world, Susan Mac Nicol would be Queen of England and banish all the bad people to the Never Never Lands of Wherever -Who Cares. As that's never going to happen, she contents herself with writing her HEA stories and pretending, that just for a little while, good things happen to good people.

|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-746) CRC computation and reading should move into a nested FileSystem
|Tue, 05 Dec 2006 19:36:22 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-746?page=comments#action_12455736 ] Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-746: ------------------------------------- We need multiple-CRCs per HDFS block, so that one can seek within a block without having to checksum the entire block. Thus a checksum every 8k or less is desired. But this issue is not about re-architecting CRCs for HDFS, it's rather about cleaning up the FileSystem API so that the generic CRC implementation, usable by all FileSystems, is less visible in that API (i.e., the 'raw' methods are ugly). Owen had an idea of how to do that, but, unfortunately, it would make filenames ugly, which defeats the purpose. But perhaps we can still salvage Owen's general approach. We could implement a ChecksummedFileSystem that wraps an existing fileystem but does not alter filenames. HDFS & opthers can privately the "raw" FileSystem, without checksums. Then FileSystem.getNamed() can wrap newly created FileSystem instances in ChecksummedFileSystem to generically add checksumming. Thus the 'raw' methods can be removed from the FileSystem API. Does that work? > CRC computation and reading should move into a nested FileSystem > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-746 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-746 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 0.8.0 > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assigned To: Owen O'Malley > > Currently FileSystem provides both an interface and a mechanism for computing and checking crc files. I propose splitting the crc code into a nestable FileSystem that like the PhasedFileSystem has a backing FileSystem. Once the Paths are converted to URI, this is fairly natural to express. To use crc files, your uris will look like: > crc://hdfs:%2f%2fhost1:8020/ which is a crc FileSystem with an underlying file system of hdfs://host1:8020 > This will allow users to use crc files where they make sense for their application/cluster and get rid of the "raw" methods. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Louisiana legislators are pushing hard to get creationism taught in public schools. This, of course, involves attacking the "enemy" of creationism, evolution, as insubstantial and unproven.I have a request for people who want to make this case: please know what the hell you are talking about. In other words, don't be Louisiana State Senator Mike Walsworth:
For the first 50 seconds of this 62 second video, I have only one quibble with Sen. Walsworth's line of questioning. The phrase "proves [evolution] beyond a shadow of a doubt," which he used when asking the professor if there is any such proof of Darwin's theories. Evolution is a theory in the same way that gravity is: it is a way of explaining phenomena we observe again and again, and while there are experiments that show the theory in action (which the professor describes), the assumption of evolution is the backbone of large sections of biology, and asking for a single experiment on which the merits of evolution must stand is reducing the other side's argument to something he can tackle.
So, that's aggravating, but not the reason I bothered to show you this clip. That comes at 51 seconds when Senator Mike Walworth interrupts the teacher describing an experiment in which ecoli bacteria were shown to evolve over time with this little doozy:
"They evolve into a person?"
Sigh. This is the ultimate refuge of creationists, the assertion that if evolution is real, then it must be evoloving humans all the time at a visible pace, from any (every?) species. It's an intentional misunderstanding of the evolutionist's case. It's not wrong to be a creationist (I think it's factually incorrect, but not morally wrong), but one must understand that creationism is a belief that must persist in spite of enormous evidence in favor of evolution. If one wants to believe the Bible as literally true, there is so much from geology, archaeology and yes, evolutionary biology that one must disavow, that I don't think of it as a fight worth having.
Also, if your line of attack is to reduce the argument for evolution to a single experiment and then attack that experiment for not turning bacteria into people, then, well, you are both trying too hard and not trying at all.

Now open for submissions until 31 July 2017.
Featuring new films of 20 minutes or less and co-curated by Gareth Evans (Whitechapel Gallery) and Nora Foster (Frieze), the Swedenborg Film Festival invites entries from the latest emerging and established talent of experimental and artist film, exploring the theme of 'dreams'.
Selected films will be screened in November 2017 at Swedenborg Hall, 'one of London's most atmospheric venues' (The Guardian).
Shortlisted films will be shown as part of a dynamic curated programme, featuring work by a guest judge (TBA) – who will also choose and announce the winner at the close of the festival. Artists including Bridget Smith, Andrew Kötting, Jeremy Millar and Lech Majewski have shown work at SFF.
Filmmakers are invited to explore the concept of 'dreams' – a theme encountered in the work of scientist, philosopher, theologian and visionary, Emanuel Swedenborg (1688–1772) as well as those he influenced, from William Blake to Jorge Luis Borges. A foundation of the Romantic, Symbolist and Surrealist artistic traditions, Swedenborg was a seminal influence on generations of radical thinkers.
The only film festival in the world inspired by the work of a single philosopher, the SFF has received a huge response from thousands of filmmakers around the world since its launch in 2010. The annual festival was re-launched in July 2015 with an expanded framework, a new competition and a fresh commitment to showing the work of international filmmakers who are engaging with themes similar to those that energized Swedenborg.
The 2015/16 programme celebrated the award-winning Triptych of the great Polish filmmaker Lech Majewski alongside remarkable shorts by Richard Ashrowan; followed by a dynmaic programme of short films on 24 March, judged by the artist Bridget Smith. In November 2016, a second round of shortlisted films were screened alongside features by John Rogers and guest judge Andrew Kötting. The 2016 winners were Harold Charre, Toby Tatum and Daphne Rosenthal.
Filmmakers worldwide are invited to submit films of 20 minutes or less, which have been made between 1 July 2016 and 31 July 2017.
Enter via our page at Film Freeway: https://filmfreeway.com/festival/SwedenborgFilmFestival
The SFF is curated by Gareth Evans, writer, presenter, producer (Patience: After Sebald; By Our Selves and Unseen) and Film Curator at the Whitechapel Gallery, London; and Nora Foster, formerly Assistant Curator, the Swedenborg Society and now Communications Manager, Frieze.

The Colostomy Association's dedicated helpline for parents and carers of children with bowel dysfunctions - JOSH - has received the endorsement of the Pediatric Stoma Nurse Group.
The Junior Ostomy Support Helpline was launched by the Colostomy Association at the end of 2014 to provide a much-needed service for parents and carers of children with a variety of bowel dysfunctions and diversions. JOSH has now received the support of the UK's main association for stoma care nurses who work with children.
The endorsement underscores the need for a service like JOSH. Any callers to the helpline can arrange to be called back by a fellow parent or carer or a child with a stoma. Callers can be matched with helpliners whose situation closest mirrors their own. Our helpliners are then able to provide practical and emotional support.
The Pediatric Stoma Nurse Group was established in 2005 and has developed into a valuable, proactive independent forum, working closely with industry in research and development.
Speaking about the endorsement, a Colostomy Association spokesperson said: "We are incredibly proud to receive support from the PSNG who perform incredible work for children with a stoma across the UK.
"The endorsement demonstrates the quality of support our helpline can provide to parents and carers who may be struggling to bring up a child living with a stoma."
If you would like to speak to a JOSH helpliner then call 0800 328 4257 and request a JOSH parent to give you a call back.

Happy Sunday friends, my take today is on prayer. But let me first make one thing clear before we proceed here, and this is the truth. Whether we believe on something or not, our unbelief does not change the truth. It is for us to open our eyes, clear our doubts, and understand the truth. This is only way can make progress in life. If a man is lost on his journey, but keeps maintaining his wrong path despite several warnings by others, he is only harming himself and delaying his progress, but if he listens and makes the turn quickly, it is for his own benefit.
In our own human sense, we know that nothing happens out of nothing. All that man has created is for a purpose (good or evil). If man can be purposeful in his creation, then why can't we think the Creator who made man and the universe will be more purposeful? It amuses me when people think that life has no purpose, that man evolved from nowhere and that there is no power or forces controlling the universe. Well, I do not blame them, it is pure ignorance to reason this way. This can be compared to a child who attends a school and feels that he/she is wasting his/her time there. Another thought provoking thing is that despite all that man has created he has not been able to create life, by life I mean a living thing. This is because life belongs to God, who is the Creator.
Yes science will say we grow by eating and multiplication of cells, but in truth this is the handwork of the Creator. So if there is a Creator, who controls the universe and brings about the Sunlight, the rain, the moon, the seasons, life and death, then there is need to reference Him and follow His instructions. It is right for the creation to follow the instruction of the Creator, all the products that man has made follows his instructions, the car drives according to the command of the owner. Man is excluded from this principle, he stands at the commandment of his Creator. One way of referencing the Creator is through prayer. There are very difficult situations we find ourselves in life most times, and in such situations we feel this is situation is beyond our ability, and that we need a greater energy. This energy can be drawn through prayer. Help comes through prayer, and when such help comes, do not fail to appreciate the Almighty.
