Debut album released July 8th on Houndstooth
"The combination of classic and modern instrumentation finds a niche that makes this debut a stunning success – and when layered with Cartwright's voice it lifts A Small Murmuration to something quite special indeed" – Bowlegs
Ahead of the release of its release next week on fabric's Houndstooth imprint, the debut album from Snow Ghosts, the duo of electronic producer Throwing Snow (Ross Tones) and vocalist and songwriter Augustus Ghost (Hannah Cartwright) is now streaming in full as premiered on SPIN.
Crafted from a shared interest of the odd folk nature of Britain and the resultant dark strangeness, Throwing Snow and Augustus Ghost pool their individual inspirations, ideas and styles on 'A Small Murmuration' to create a unique meeting point between the primal and the contemporary.
Stream / embed 'A Small Murmuration' in full below.
Along with this, the band have been featured this week as New Band Of The Day on The Guardian, read the article HERE
"The album promises a trip rich in mystery and the most sumptuous kind of melancholy" – SPIN
"The traditional instruments and ambient electronica dovetail nicely, and the haunting vocals and song titles work well at bringing together the olde worlde and the modern" – The Guardian
Throwing Snow, aka Ross Tones, first started working with Augustus Ghost, aka Hannah Cartwright, after she first arrived in England five years ago. Hannah comes from a songwriting background, having previously collaborated with Phaeleh as well as singing in the band Masakichi, while Ross possesses more electronic influences – his work as Throwing Snow has gained plaudits from all sides, manifested most recently through invitations to support Bonobo on his forthcoming tour, as well as Thom Yorke's Atoms For Peace project. Together, the pair shared a mutual influence of the shadowy elements of folk and metal, and it is through these reference points that Snow Ghosts began to take shape.
The music is brooding and at times imposing, yet sweepingly majestic throughout – Augustus Ghost's rich vocals balance perfectly on Throwing Snow's somber sonic creations, as hints of industry and mechanism are married with the organic, natural world. The album's title – 'A Small Murmuration' – combines Ross' love of chaos theory and Hannah's earthy propensity for nature. The theme is reflected in the imagery surrounding the album – the artwork and photographs come from Hannah's Great Granddad in the 1930s, and forms a special attachment to each of the tracks. Additional illustration was done by Matthew Ellwood, one of Ross' oldest and closest friends who also provided the art for the Black Acre EP. The album as a whole feels little need or desire to fit alongside any current trends, instead focusing on a fundamental formula: of close collaboration, shared interests, and strong friendship.

Case Study of an Inquiry-based lesson on English Language Arts: Defining preferences in short stories
The purpose of this lesson is for students to articulate the narrative elements they prefer a short story to include, test their preference by reading a short story, and then re-evaluate their original response.
1. Problem Statement
Students are presented with an open-ended scenario.
The lecturer will pose a problem statement to ask students their preferred elements of a short story.
2. Hypothesis
Students propose a method/strategy for resolving the scenario presented by the problem statement.
3. Content-based App
Lecturers provide students with baseline information related to the scenario.
First, students will use the 301+ Short Stories (2013) app to select a story.
4. Creation-based App (Knowledge Deficiencies)
Students create a learning artifact that demonstrates their comprehension of the baseline information.
Then students will use the PureFlow (2014) app to storyboard the main events in the story (at minimum the rising actions, climax, and resolution).
5. Creation-based App (Resolution)
Students create a learning artifact that proposes a solution to the problem statement scenario.
Next, students will use the Hanx Writer (2015) app to compose a justification that states and explains why they did or did not like the story they selected.

Google, TransCanada set solar plant deals
There are 3 comments on the Reuters story from Dec 20, 2011, titled Google, TransCanada set solar plant deals. In it, Reuters reports that:
Google Inc and TransCanada Corp announced deals to buy solar power projects on Tuesday, just days after billionaire Warren Buffett made his second major purchase in the sector.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Reuters.

I have been following this guy in Austin, TX who has a technology to burn natural gas with oxygen and reduce CO2 emissions by 80%. Coal and existing NG power plants can be retrofitted. His breakthrough is the ability to produce oxygen for a very low cost. He also can supply nitrogen to the same power plants to be used for cooling. Theyd no longer need to use our rivers, lakes and streams.
I work in the energy field. With the advent of shale gas prices are more predictable and we are beginning to see 20 year contracts at $4-$6 Mcf. Oxy-fuel combustion is an existing technology. The electricity produced will be LESS than coal-generated electricity.
Solar has a place in our energy mix, but a very small place, perhaps up to 5%. Plus, its still very expensive.
I think our resources would be better spent cleaning up our existing power plants than wasting money on solar. If we can reduce CO2 by 80% from the power sector and do it affordably, its a clear choice.

I'm glad that large companies invest in such systems. Maybe they can be the next revolutionizing grid that will provide cheap electricity for the average household. Solar systems are becoming more and more efficient every day. The development is faster than anything.
I constructed a solar power system by my self and it turned out pretty cheap, comparing with the price that companies set for solar power systems. You can find solar panel system construction instructions and guidelines online but it is very hard to find decent quality ones. I found a good review for instruction solution on this page.: http://reviewoffice.blogspot.com/
The system i constructed following those instructions reduced my enegy bill arround 80% in summer.
I would gladly upgrade now so I can get more efficiency, it definitely pays of.

What kind of authority should the CIO have? (Stock image)
The Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA), which the House passed as part of the defense authorization bill in June, runs counter to a more enterprise-based approach being employed at the Department of Homeland Security, a senior official there said.
FITARA would empower agency CIOs to exercise budget authority over technology spending, assume control of hiring and report directly to agency heads.
Read "Building the Enterprise: Nine Strategies for a More Integrated, Effective Government," by the Partnership for Public Service.
Rafael Borras, undersecretary for management at DHS, said his department "is trying to integrate all the various management disciplines," including the chief financial officer, chief procurement officer and CIO, to encourage collaboration. "So we don't need to turn the CIOs into budget experts. We don't need to turn them into financial planners," he said. "They really need to be focused on execution and delivery, making sure that we're leveraging technology."
Borras cited agile development, the digital-mobile strategy and the move to the cloud as examples of IT developments from the last four years that were accomplished along collaborative lines.
FITARA also would redefine CIO authority and make the position a presidential appointee.
Borras said it's the wrong way to go. "That aspect of FITARA that looks as a solution to the empowerment of CIOs, in the context of the conversation we've had today around the enterprise, it really doesn't make a lot of sense to me," he said.
"To turn [CIOs] into institutionally complete organizations that do their own budgeting, their own hiring, I think defeats the purpose and runs counter...to what the president's management agenda is talking about -- it's forcing us to work better together," Borras said.
Federal CIO Steven VanRoekel said in January that he already has the authority to accomplish many of the policy goals spelled out in the bill.
The legislation also includes a variety of other provisions designed to reduce waste and duplication in IT spending, speed the government's data center consolidation initiative and improve training for acquisition personnel.
Borras made his remarks to reporters after an Aug. 8 event at the Partnership for Public Service for the release of a new report, "Building the Enterprise: Nine Strategies for a More Integrated, Effective Government." The report offers a series of steps to increase collaboration across agencies with an eye to getting government to operate at peak efficiency and within the limits of the caps on discretionary spending under the Budget Control Act.

A key database of financial information was breached in 2016, possibly in support of insider trading, said the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Defense leaders and Congress are looking to encourage more aggressive cloud policies and prod reluctant agencies to embrace experimentation and risk-taking.
Steve Kelman talks to the agencies that have embraced tech demos in their acquisition efforts -- and urges others in government to give it a try.
The Department of Homeland Security banned the Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky Lab's products from federal agencies in a new binding operational directive.
The Department of Agriculture is looking to cut down on the number of agency CIOs in the name of efficiency and better communication across mission areas.
Ninety days after the Trump administration's executive order, FCW sat down with agency cyber leaders to discuss what's changing.
All due respect to Mr. Borras, I'd feel much more comfortable with Richard Spire's opinion on how FITARA would work for DHS, not the assessment of someone selling Secretary Napolitano's failure to support a CIO intent on actually consolidating DHS information systems despite the objections of the chief executives of each of the aggregated silos that became DHS largely in name only. A good dose of FITARA might be exactly what DHS needs to empower a CIO achieve the economies that consolidation and shared services could have achieved. Mr. Borras implies they only want a doer, not a thinker, much less a colleague in the CIO's office. Just more Napolitano think...

Scripture Reading: John 13: 31-36
Focus Verse: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." John 13:34 (NIV)
After the betrayer left, Jesus tells the remaining 11 to "love one another." He continues by telling them to: "Love one another as I have loved you." The teacher loved these men in the following ways: 1
2. Sacrificially-He did not set limits to how much he would give or where it would go.
Jesus gave His life for our sins. He became sin for each of us. This is a sobering thought to me as I read my Lenten devotionals. I realized recently that I hurt someone with a reply I made to her. All I have been able to do is pray and ask God to forgive me.
3. Understandingly-He knew the disciples through and through.
We know God knows us—every part of us. David wrote in Psalm 139 that God knew us before He formed us. We have to keep this thought in our hearts, especially when we feel we have lost touch with Him.
4. Forgivingly- He held nothing against them.
Jesus forgave completely. He forgave the disciples for abandoning him in his last hours. In our 21st Century world, we see a lot of dysfunction and estrangement in families. Some of these issues have gone on for many years. Might we have seen harmony, had we learned to forgive one another?

In August of last year, a 19-year-old pickup driver received 11 texts in as many minutes while traveling down a Missouri highway outside Gray Summit. The truck rear-ended a stopped tractor trailer at speed, which was then struck by not one, but two school buses, resulting in a massive, multi-car pileup that left 38 people injured and two dead – including the serial texter and a 15-year-old student riding in one of the buses.

Chrysler has joined Ford in backing a federal ban on the use of hand-held mobile phones while driving. According to The Detroit News, Chrysler, Ford and Verizon Wireless have all announced their support of the Safe Drivers Act of 2011. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D, NY), would require the Transportation Department to study the impact of distracted driving over two years, especially on younger drivers. After that time, the agency would make a recommendation on minimum federal st

We're on the verge of having a nationwide ban on using handheld cell phones while driving, and Ford is the first automaker to stand behind the cause. According to The Detroit Free Press, Ford's vice president of government affairs, Pete Lawson, said that this "represents a practical, commonsense approach to a national problem."

The U.S. Department of Transportation is looking into a full-on mobile phone ban for commercial drivers while behind the wheel as part of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood's initiative to curb distracted driving. According to Reuters, the move would further impact the four million drivers who are already forbidden from texting while driving.

Information about Strathclyde University AP physics test, and registering in elective training programs. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? The field of engineering requires either an associates degree for entry-level technical workers, or a bachelors degree for professional engineers. Concentrating on Strathclyde University AP physics test, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the physics department for course registration deadlines, and physics lab program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Strathclyde University.
Mechanical engineering degrees typically take four to five years to complete, and result in a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS), or Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME). In the US, most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mechanical engineering programs include courses on composites, thermodynamics, engine design, fluid dynamics, control theory, robotics, and computer-aided design (CAD). In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as control systems, fuel cell technology, and biomechanics.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control. The median annual income of mechanical engineers in the US workforce was $80,580, highest when working for the government ($92,030), and lowest in education ($57,090). Beyond major requirements within the physics department, you may consider Atlantic Community College sustainability as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

Inspectors General:
Activities of the Department of State Office of Inspector General
GAO-07-138: Published: Mar 23, 2007. Publicly Released: Apr 23, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9471
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO was asked to review the Department of State Office of Inspector General (State IG) including its (1) organization, budget levels, and accomplishments; (2) audit and inspection coverage of the department; (3) role of inspections in the oversight of the department; (4) quality assurance process including assurance of independence; and (5) coordination of State IG investigations with the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security. GAO obtained information from State IG reports, interviews, and documentation for a sample of inspections.
The State IG provides oversight of the State Department, the Broadcasting Board of Governors, and the foreign affairs community, including the approximately 260 bureaus and posts around the world, through financial and performance audits, inspections, and investigations. Over fiscal years 2001 through 2005, in terms of constant dollars, the State IG's budget has increased by 1 percent while the State Department's overall budget has increased by 50 percent. This represents a relative decrease when comparing State IG with other agencies' ratios of IG budget to total agency budget. The State IG provides oversight coverage of the areas designated as high-risk by GAO and management challenges identified by the IG, with a heavy emphasis on inspections. The State IG covers the high-risk areas of human resources, counterterrorism, public diplomacy, and information security, almost exclusively through inspections. In fiscal year 2005, the State IG's ratio of inspections to audits was over two to one, while the federal statutory IGs had a combined ratio of one inspection to every ten audits. There are fundamental differences between inspections and audits. By design, audits performed under Government Auditing Standards are subject to more in-depth requirements for the levels of evidence and the documentation supporting the findings than are inspections performed under inspection standards. Due to the significance of the high-risk areas covered largely by inspections, the State IG would benefit by reassessing the mix of audit and inspection coverage of those areas. The State IG's audit and investigative functions both had recent peer reviews of quality assurance that resulted in "clean opinions." There is no requirement for a peer review of inspections; however, during our audit the State IG began an internal quality review process for inspections but did not include reviews of information technology inspections. Independence is critical to the quality and credibility of all the work of the State IG. Two areas of continuing concern that we have with the independence of the State IG involve (1) the temporary appointment of State Department management personnel to head the State IG office in an acting IG capacity and who subsequently return to management positions, and (2) the rotation of Foreign Service staff to lead IG inspections, including many who, along with other IG staff, move to positions in department management offices. Such staffing arrangements represent potential impairments to independence and the appearance of independence under professional standards applicable to the IGs. Both the State IG and the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security pursue allegations of fraud by department employees. There is no functional written agreement in place to help ensure the independence of internal departmental investigations and preclude the duplication of efforts.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: GAO recommended that the State Department IG provide appropriate oversight of high-risk areas and management challenges by reassessing the proper mix of audit and inspection coverage with input from key stakeholders in the department and the Congress and an analysis of the appropriate level of resources. The State IG addressed this recommendation through their Fiscal Years 2016 and 2017 Work Plan for specific audits and inspections. Input to the work plan was provided by members of Congress and agency officials. The planned audits were determined based on the department's management challenges and other risk factors. In addition, the Sate IG has considered resources by increasing the audit staff from 61 at the time of our review to a current level of 100. These actions address our recommendation.
Recommendation: To help ensure that the State IG provides the appropriate breadth and depth of oversight of the State Department's high-risk areas and management challenges, the State IG should reassess the proper mix of audit and inspection coverage for those areas. This reassessment should include input from key stakeholders in the State Department and the Congress and also entail an analysis of an appropriate level of resources needed to provide adequate IG coverage of high-risk and other areas in light of the increasing level of funding provided to the State Department.
Agency Affected: Department of State: Office of the Inspector General
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In June 2008, the State OIG's Office of Information Technology was integrated into the Office of Inspections (ISP). As a result, all information technology and information security inspections are now included in ISP's internal quality review process.
Recommendation: To provide for more complete internal quality reviews of inspections the State IG should include inspections performed by the State IG's Office of Information Technology in its internal quality review process.
Agency Affected: Department of State: Office of the Inspector General
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Effective May 4, 2011, Section 1 FAM 052.2 "Deputy Inspector General" of the Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM) provides for one Deputy IG and the position must be a civil service employee. This change to the State's policy should ensure that any Deputy IG serving as the acting State IG will not be a foreign service officer. This change is consistent with the IG Act regarding State IG appointments and helps enhance independent audit coverage in the event there are any delays in appointing an IG for the State Department.
Recommendation: To help ensure the independence of the IG office, the State IG should work with the Secretary of State to develop a succession planning policy for the appointment of individuals to head the State IG office in an acting IG capacity that is consistent with the IG Act regarding State IG appointment and provides for independent coverage in the event of delays between IG appointments. The policy should prohibit career Foreign Service officers from heading the State IG office in an acting IG capacity and specify within the IG's own succession order that acting IG vacancies are to be filled by eligible personnel without State Department management careers.
Agency Affected: Department of State: Office of the Inspector General
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: GAO recommended that to help ensure the independence of the State Department Office of Inspector General (IG), the IG should develop options to help ensure inspections are not led by career Foreign Service officials or other staff who rotate to assignments within the department. The State IG addressed our recommendation through changes to the Inspectors Handbook dated December 2015. The handbook specifies that active duty Foreign Service Officers do not serve as the inspection team leaders. Instead civil service and retired staff are to serve as team leaders. In addition, all inspection team members must certify their independence on the IG's Independence Declaration and Mitigations form which considers and addresses any members lack of independence. These action fully address the report recommendation.
Recommendation: To help ensure the independence of the IG office, the State IG should work with the Secretary of State to develop options to ensure that State IG inspections are not led by career Foreign Service officials or other staff who rotate to assignments within State Department management. Approaches could range from the State IG limiting its inspection activities to a level that is supportable without reliance on staff who routinely rotate to management offices, to permanently transferring or hiring additional staff, or full-time-equivalents, along with associated resources for the State IG office to eliminate the need to rely on Foreign Service and other rotational staff to lead inspections.
Agency Affected: Department of State: Office of the Inspector General
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: On December 23, 2010 a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed by the State OIG and the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Diplomatic Security Service (DSS). The MOU establishes investigative responsibilities and procedural guidelines for the OIG's Investigative Office and the DSS regarding investigations of the State Department's offices and programs, and the handling of criminal allegations relating to alleged misconduct of State employees. The MOU clarifies the areas of investigative responsibility between the OIG and DSS and establishes guiding principles for the accomplishment of that work. The goals of the MOU are to avoid duplication of work, ensure the safety of each organization's employees, and provide prompt and effective work products to the agency. The MOU formally acknowledges mutual assistance and cooperation and establishes formal procedures to facilitate communication, investigative coordination, and sharing of information between the OIG and DSS
Recommendation: In order to provide for independent investigations of State Department management and to prevent duplicative investigations, the State IG should work with the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, the Office of Management, and the Secretary of State to develop a formal written agreement that delineates the areas of responsibility for State Department investigations. Such an agreement would, for example, address the coordination of investigative activities to help ensure the independence of internal departmental investigations and preclude the duplication of efforts.

Network Solutions WordPress help
I am very new to wordpress, and haven't set up hosting to WordPress either so I need some help getting started. I'm setting up a site through Network Solutions, but I am unable to Configure the hosting package there. This is going to sound stupid, but I'm thinking the business I'm doing this for has the domain name, but hasn't paid for actual hosting yet? This might account for the configuration option not showing up.
Could this be the problem?

text: GlobalSantaFe Corporation has taken delivery of its new, high- performance jackup rig, Constellation I. Equipped with a dual activity pipe handling system and state-of-the-art drilling capabilities, the rig is designed to reduce critical path time to drill wells. Constructed in the PPL Shipyard in Singapore, the Constellation I is capable of drilling to 30,000 feet in water depths of up to 400 feet. A 75-foot reach cantilever with a combined drilling load capacity of 2.6 million pounds, enables the rig to operate over a large drilling pattern. The Constellation II, an identical rig, is scheduled to be delivered in the first quarter of 2004. "With the construction of the Constellation I, our goal is to provide our clients with a new generation of jackup rigs capable of meeting their future drilling needs. The Constellation I is designed to increase drilling efficiency and to perform beyond traditional exploration and development drilling requirements," said Jon A. Marshall, President and Chief Executive Officer of GlobalSantaFe. The Constellation I is contracted for a three-well program offshore Myanmar that is expected to commence in late July. The contract, estimated to take four months to complete, is valued at approximately $8.8 million.

As life has taught us, one action will lead to another, and everything that has happened or is currently ongoing will pave the way for the future. So what exactly is Cause and Effect. If we take a look at the definition, a cause is a person or thing that sparks some sort of xnd. Normally, you would be given a certain scenario in which an action occurred. From there, using things such as logic and analysis, outcomes (reactions) must be carefully crafted and explained.
Cause and effect is a common method of organizing and discussing ideas. In most countries around the world, no students are allowed sample 5 paragraph cause and effect essay case more than two to five percent of their classes in a semester. Students at SCT are permitted to miss up to fifteen percent of their classes in a single semester. There are many bad effects of missing sample 5 paragraph cause and effect essay many classes at Data provided are for informational purposes only. Although carefully collected, accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
Publisher conditions are provided by RoMEO. Remember when that annoying light came on while you were driving home last night. Turns out it really did serve a swmple tell you one of your tires was low.Unfortunately, you ignored the warning light. Unfortunately, you missed class because of your flat tire this morning. Because you missed class, you failed a quiz.This is a perfect example of cause and nad problem: Another light appeared on your dashboard.The cause: Low air pressure in a tire.The effects: You missed class.
This is called the causal chain or domino effect.e.g. Use of deodorants will bring the end of the world.There may be severalcauses or effects of a situation. However, in a student essay, it is advisableto keep the number of major points to 2 or 3, which form separate developmentalparagraphs.Organization:Depending on the topic,there may be three patterns of organization:1. The effects of this disease are very dangerous and serious. We will discuss the physical, psychological, and emotional effects of alcoholism and what causes it to happen.The first effects of alcoholism are physical.
These are the most important because these can cause your sample 5 paragraph cause and effect essay. For example, alcoholism causes cancer in the stomach, kidneys, and liver. Besides, alcohol alters the digestion of nutrients that the body needs to stay healthy. Alcoholism also causes severe damage in the neurons, so it causes alterations in the body movements, loss of appetite, and depression. There are other effects in the body like gastritis and cirrhosis of the liver. All these physical consequences could cause your death if you drink alcohol in mass quantities. Other topics will ask you to discuss the results or effects ajd some cause.

Serena Williams is expecting a baby this year, her spokesperson confirmed Wednesday, hours after the tennis great hinted at the news in a Snapchat post.
"I'm happy to confirm Serena is expecting a baby this Fall," Los Angeles-based publicist Kelly Bush Novak said in a statement emailed to AFP.
While Williams won't play again this year, "she looks forward to returning in 2018," Bush Novak said.
Williams' Snapchat post, quickly highlighted in US media, showed the 35-year-old in a yellow swimsuit that revealed an apparent baby bump.
But the post was quickly taken down, lending an air of mystery to its meaning.
"The GOAT herself @serenawilliams took to Snapchat to announce she's 20 weeks pregnant! Congratulations Serena!" the US Tennis Association, organizers of the US Open - which Williams has won six times - tweeted, using the acronym for "Greatest Of All Time."
But the Women's Tennis Association deleted a congratulatory tweet and acknowledged in a statement they had not had confirmation of the news.
It was hours before they could tweet: "It's official! @SerenaWilliams and @AlexisOhanian are expecting a baby this fall."
In December, Williams announced her engagement to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, first sharing that news on the Reddit social media site.
If Williams is 20 weeks into her pregnancy, that means she was already expecting when she won her record-setting 23rd Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in January – where she beat her elder sister Venus in the final.
For fans and friends the announcement underscored Williams' superwoman status.
There's gonna be a baby GOAT . We are so happy, and we know @serenawilliams will be a great mother
— andyroddick (@andyroddick) April 20, 2017
Serena Williams won the Australian open title pregnant without dropping a set should remove all doubt that she is definitely the GOAT!
— Ransell D'Souza (@rantsell) April 20, 2017
Superman or Batman? I have Serena Williams, thank you very much.
— Lisa Be (@Lisa_BePunkt) April 20, 2017
So Serena Williams is pregnant. Why is everyone surprised that a pregnant woman can do her job as well as when she isn't pregnant?
— Andrea Dowsett (@andidowsett) April 20, 2017
Serena Williams is truly the Greatest of All Time. Bar none.

Well, it's my second post for "Joyful Moments", and the topic is one that is near and dear to my heart! Organization! Ahhh...just thinking about an organized life is bliss! I freely admit that I am slightly OCD about a few things around here. But when you have a Hubby, three boys, a baby on the way, teach full time, manage a house and want your kids to have clean clothes occasionally (they start the day out clean anyway!), then you have to give some thought to organization!
The methods I have used have varied from time to time, and necessity will often motivate a change in how things are run, but basically, being organized helps me stay on top of things, rather than things staying on top of me! Actually, I was going to take this post in a whole different direction, (more how-to rather than why) but this morning in church, the preacher (not my Dad this Sunday, but the youth pastor of our church) preached a very good message on priorities. And that sent my line of thinking down a whole different road.
Because, let's face it, we organize our life according to our priorities. And also, if we are not organized, it won't be long until our priorities are out of balance--the "loud" things drowning out the more important things. God in a God of organization, but He has a specific end result--Psalm 90:12 "So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." (Emphasis mine.) So I was thinking this morning, "How can being organized help us keep first things first?"
So here are a few things in a list (yay for lists--very helpful for being organized!) that may help you the next time you are trying to organize (or re-organize) your life.
*Your personal spiritual life. As moms, this is often the thing that slides to the bottom of the heap of things to do in a day. We can sometimes manage to squeeze in a snatch of Bible reading as we end our day, but often this leads to being hit in the face with the Bible because we are falling asleep! (Not really how God wants to commune with us, I'm sure!) Recently, this is one thing I have been trying to work on for myself. I am not a morning person, but I have been waking up a few minutes earlier every day, (hopefully before the kids are up) and having my Bible study time first. It has been working well, and I find I am able to ponder things I have read throughout my day, which helps me keep things in perspective. So, remember to make God first in your life--the other things have a tendency to fall in line after that!
*Your family. This is where the "rubber meets the road" when it comes to organization as moms. And most people would think it would not be an area that our priorities can get out of balance, but I have seen (in my life, as well as observing others) that this is not the case. One example is that sometimes moms forget that they were wives first. They put the kids before their husband, and things quickly fall apart. Another example is that moms forget their first ministry is to their own family. They allow their other "ministries" to command all their time and effort, and their family begins to suffer. So, it's important to organize your life so that your family takes the place that they were meant to have by the Lord.
*Household management. This is a fancy word for "chores." That's right, all the stuff we do that no one seems to notice or appreciate, but it has to be done. I struggle in this area--mainly because I focus on the chores, rather than the reason for the chores. A put-together house is important to me. Really important. Can't-go-to-sleep-if-there-are-dishes-in-the-sink important. (*Sigh--I know, I know, I told you I was OCD!) But I forget that sometimes the floor can go unmopped if it means a child's heart is encouraged. Clothes can stay unfolded for a while if it means that I can spend some time in a teachable moment. This is a difficult challenge for me...OCD, remember? The biggest thing as far as being organized in the chores (how-to moment!) for me has been assigning each day a specific task and trying to get that thing done that day. For example, now that I am away from home for a large portion of the day, all the laundry doesn't get done in one day like it used to. (!!) So, I try to get at least two loads done on Monday when I get home, and try to finish the rest on Tuesday. Straightening is done daily, with "actual" cleaning done either on Thursday afternoon, or first thing Saturday morning. (Lately, Saturday morning has been working quite well--I'm thinking of making this a permanent change...) I try to reserve Friday afternoons for "winding down" time from the long week of school.
*Fun times. Who organizes or prioritizes fun? Doesn't that-well-take the FUN out of it? Not for this mommy! If I didn't organize for fun and make it a priority, there would be many times that days would go by without any fun whatsoever! It's easy for me to fall into a trap of always finding another chore that needs to be done, or something that needs to be taken care of, to the detriment of moments for rejuvenating. Especially during the busy-ness of the school year, when the days are shorter with more things to fit into them. So I have been trying to work on this with a little more consistency. I have noticed that the kids get less frustrated if they realize that there is a time when the work will be finished, and they will get to have some fun. One thing recently (how-to moment!) that has worked well for us has been a personal list for each of the boys. I jot down the things they need to accomplish and roughly how long it should take, and hand them the list. They like being able to see exactly what they need to have done to earn their recreation time. Plus, they can cross each thing out, and I am not having to constantly ask, "Is this or that done yet?" This has an added benefit of teaching organization and time management to the boys as well, because if it's not done by supper, then they don't get the recreation time.
Well, there's a lot more that can be written on this topic, but this post has been long enough! I hope it was an encouragement to you, and that it helps you to remember that organization is part of God's plan for a well-ordered (hence peaceful!) life! Check out what the other moms have to say on this topic as well! It might be fun to get in touch with your inner OCD tendencies, and see where it will take you! :)

Vitamin C is an essential, water-soluble vitamin which must be obtained through diet or supplementation. It is one of the most powerful antioxidant nutrients and plays an essential role in the functioning of white blood cells, which are vital components of the immune system. Additionally, it aids in collagen (connective tissue) formation, which is important for healthy nails, skin, hair, and joints. Vitamin C promotes respiratory and circulatory health and is beneficial for healthy gums. This formulation provides pure Vitamin C along with Rose Hips fruit, a plant source containing naturally occurring amounts of Vitamin C, anthocyanins and bioflavonoids.

Statistical fluorinated copolymers from heterogeneous atom transfer radical copolymerization of styrene and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate with similar reactivity ratios
Fluorinated copolymers with statistical structure of azeotropic or gradient composition were prepared from heterogeneous atom transfer radical copolymerizations of styrene (S) and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate (T). The polymerization kinetic studies show that while the propagation rate constant of S increased with a decreasing S content in the comonomer feed ratio, the propagation rate of T decreased with decreases of the S content in the comonomer feed ratio. The polymerization rate and controllability of the heterogeneous ATRP of S and T were regulated by the solubility of Cu(II)/ligand in the reaction mixture, based on a mechanistic analysis and solubility tests of the Cu(II)/ligand system in the reaction media. The reactivity ratios of S and T were 0.22 and 0.35, as evaluated from kinetic analysis of monomer conversions higher than 35%. These statistical polymers self-assembled in T to form giant vesicles GVs) with broad diameter distribution in the range of 1–10 μm. Unlike the methods normally used to prepare gradient copolymers by spontaneous controlling with feeding model or batch polymerization of comonomers with obvious differences in the reactivity ratio, in this contribution, we report a novel synthetic strategy for preparing gradient copolymers can also be prepared from both monomers with very similar reactivity ratio. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An oil boom swept across the Ohio River when John Newton and Mophet Dye struck oil in 1860 in Macksburg, just north of Marietta.
Blacksmith William Jeffrey made a similar hit in Mecca Township, northeast of Warren.
Hundreds of wooden derricks soon poked the Ohio skyline as petroleum speculators and businessmen drilled deep into the ground searching for black gold.
More wells brought more oil. Crude oil production climbed year after year, especially after major oil reserves were found in northwest Ohio in the 1880s.
Between 1895 and 1903, Ohio was the leading producer of crude oil in the country.
But Ohio's reign as oil king was short-lived.
Production could not keep up with demand. Plus, major oil fields found in Texas and Oklahoma would quickly surpass Ohio's.
Ohio's petroleum industry did not know it at the time, but it's obvious now: Ohio's oil production peaked in 1896. That year Ohio's wells generated 23.9 million barrels of oil.
After that year, oil production gradually decreased.
"As you look at the numbers, you see occasional new discoveries or lots of activity that generated more production, but it's never come close to that 23 million in 1896," said Mike McCormac, a geologist with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' division of mineral resources management.
Drillers treated Ohio's landscape like a pincushion. Over the years they have sunk more than 271,000 wells across the state. Only Texas, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania have more.
Last year, Ohio's 62,852 active wells produced 5.7 million barrels of oil. That's barely one-quarter of the oil the United States consumes in one day.
– John Kuehner Information for this article came from the Ohio Historical Society, the Washington County Historical Society and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources division of mineral resources management.

Fans of mech, the sci robottoni war that have done so much for the science fiction genre? Worshiped the Mechwarriori series of PC in the old days? Well, Walking War Robots is exactly that, mobile devices, with setting massive multiplayer.
The game uses a 3D graphics-end "high" (in the broad sense of the term; we say it is recommended with graphics chips from Snapdragon 800 and up), and allows you to pilot 13 different mechs, in real-time battles between clans. Clans can be composed of a maximum of six players each, only two per team match.
The mechs are distinguished by the different specializations of everyone: those who prefer high-powered weapons but short, those machine guns with limited damage but with a high rate of fire, the attacker from a distance with long-range missiles. There are 17 different weapons unlockable, and with upgrades available in the integrated store (of course supported by in-app purchases ) can become even more lethal.
War Robots is currently one of the strategy game genre that many downloaded by Android users. This game presents a display and the gameplay is a good sort. In this game, creativity and strategy you should consider. Because each mission you are required to win. To get unlimited gold silvers and I highly recommend you try war robots cheats metod
War Robots is available for about a year for iOS devices; for Android it has been subject to a period of soft launch rather extended, while the first September is available globally for all. It supports external controller and is free to download. Ready to throw into the fray?

Illegal Transport of Feral Swine into Oklahoma
Illegal Transport of Feral Swine into Oklahoma
This week authorities from the Investigative Services Division of the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol apprehended individuals for violation of the Feral Swine Control Act. Acting on an anonymous tip received on Sunday, March 15, 2015, Investigative Services agents stopped multiple vehicles that were illegally transporting feral swine from Texas across the Oklahoma border.
The feral swine in question had been purchased at a two-day Texas hog baying event and were being taken into Oklahoma to be released. No person shall import feral swine into this state unless the live feral swine are going directly to a slaughter facility in a sealed trailer and accompanied by a USDA VS 1-27 permit for the movement of restricted animals. Illegal importation of feral swine into the state is a felony.
The 120 feral swine that were confiscated by the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry were euthanized and properly disposed of. Over 50% of the feral swine tested positive for pseudorabies. The feral swine had also been treated with sustained release oxy-tetracycline as well as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent due to the injuries they sustained during the hog-baying event in Texas. One of the drugs used to treat the feral swine before transport is not approved for use in swine.
The Investigative Services Division of ODAFF is currently conducting the criminal investigation with the intent to present felony charges to the District Attorney in McCurtain County for violation of the Feral Swine Control Act. The case has also been referred to USDA-APHIS for Interstate Transport Violations.
In 2008 the Feral Swine Control Act was passed in Oklahoma as a way to address feral swine facility and transporter licensing. Feral swine pose a serious threat to agricultural producers and property. They will eat and destroy crops such as corn, milo, wheat, hay, watermelon and peanuts. Known predators, they will also prey upon young livestock and other small animals.
In addition to the damage feral swine cause they are also known to carry or transmit more than 30 diseases that can be contracted by livestock, people, pets and wildlife. The feral swine that were illegally transported into Oklahoma from Texas tested positive for pseudorabies which causes particular concern for all livestock producers in the area. The State of Oklahoma has eradicated pseudorabies and brucellosis from the domestic livestock industry but the diseases are still carried and transmitted by the feral swine population. Pseudorabies is a viral disease in swine that that can be transmitted to other mammals including dogs, cats, cattle, sheep and goats and is usually fatal in these hosts. Several of the confiscated feral swine also tested positive for brucellosis, another dangerous disease that affects both livestock and humans

The Holy Face of Jesus from the image of Veronica's veil
(The veil is kept in St. Peters Basilica, Rome.)
Current News and Updates
September 2017
Orders: We
are almost caught up with our mailings and will be accepting new orders
ALERT: Please be aware of the "Holy Face of
Manoppello" hoax making the rounds on the Internet and in recent books. This has nothing to do with the Holy Face devotion as outlined
on this website. Please see our article, "The
Holy Face of Manoppello Hoax" for more information.
ALERT: Please be aware that
there may possibly be fake Holy Face relics being circulated. A true Holy
Face relic should always contain a certificate of authenticity (usually in
Latin) along with one or more red wax seals. However, it may still be
possible for someone to create counterfeit relics. This is one reason why the Catholic
Church forbids the buying and selling of relics (simony). In some cases
today, some clergy have permitted the "rescuing" of relics where the seller is a
non-Catholic and purchaser is a Catholic who will properly venerate
and take care of the relic, but as a rule, the trafficking of relics is
forbidden by the Catholic Church. You should obtain permission from your
priest or bishop before "rescuing" a relic from a non-Catholic, and beware
that it may be difficult to determine if it is authentic. If you plan
to purchase a Holy Face relic, be sure to compare it to the images submitted
to our website under the Holy Face Images button. If there is any doubt, the
potential relic should be avoided.
We are currently managing well with our current volunteers for making
chaplets. The primary area where we need volunteers at the moment is with
pamphlet translations. See our Holy Face Pamphlet page for details.
