Evolocumab (Repatha) for the Treatment of Hyperlipidemia
Am Fam Physician. 2016 Nov 15;94(10):843-846.
Evolocumab (Repatha) is an injectable human monoclonal antibody labeled for decreasing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Evolocumab is the second approved inhibitor of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), which prevents the PCSK9 protein from degrading LDL receptors, thereby increasing LDL clearance and reducing serum cholesterol.1 It is labeled for use in combination with a healthy diet and other lipid-lowering therapies in one of three disease conditions: clinical atherosclerotic coronary or vascular disease, heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, and homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.2 As with alirocumab (Praluent), the other injectable monoclonal antibody in this class, evolocumab is not labeled for the prevention of premature mortality or to decrease cardiovascular events.
|Dose form
Evolocumab (Repatha)
140 mg per mL every two weeks (for heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia or atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease)
Prefilled single-use syringe
420 mg per mL monthly (for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia)
Single-use on-body infuser
*—Estimated retail price of one month's treatment based on information obtained at http://www.goodrx.com (accessed July 28, 2016) and Walgreens.

Single-use on-body infuser
*—Estimated retail price of one month's treatment based on information obtained at http://www.goodrx.com (accessed July 28, 2016) and Walgreens.
Limited investigation of evolocumab has not identified significant safety issues, and it is unknown if there are any long-term clinically important effects of pharmacologically induced extreme reduction of LDL cholesterol. Evolocumab has not been studied in children younger than 13 years. Because it is a monoclonal antibody, evolocumab has the potential for immunogenicity-related adverse effects. There are no safety data available on women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Patients have noted hypersensitivity reactions such as rash (1% vs. 0.5% with placebo) and urticaria (0.4% vs. 0.1% with placebo). Other reported adverse effects include nasopharyngitis (4%), upper respiratory tract

Last time I have written my experience about the Shubolong Waterfall. When I was towards the waterfall, I have found a seasonal waterfall just beforehand of Shubolong. It will be around 5-10 minutes before. At the left hand side of your hand.
Everyday plenty of tourists used to visit this path for the Shubolong Waterfall, but most of them don't find this one. Main reason is they are not heard about this one. Though its at left side, but its behind the trees and a small narrow passage. That's why from boat, its not visible to the tourist.
Its not available to dry season, so no tourist used to come here. That's why boatmen are not showing any interest to let people know about it. Also, at rainy season, if they let the tourist know about the place, they will pass some time here, but boatmen want to do it quickly, so they remain silent either.
But luckily I was aware about it, and didn't want to miss the chance. From the far side, I can see a small stream that was falling at the water of the lake, but it is not possible to guess a waterfall exist there. Slowly when I was moving ahead to the fall, the sound becoming more sharper.
This is how it looks like from far side
I have landed my boat at there and moved myself to the base of the waterfall. It was a terribly hot day, but that particular area was really cool. The small drops those are waving at the wind are making the place cool I think. When I was there, not a single tourist was making noise. Don't you think this is pleasing? If you visit this place other than rainy season, you'll miss this.
I have uploaded a video for the waterfall. I think you'll like this one. The amount of water its producing is simply wonderful. I think I can put a sleeping bag beside the fall, and pass the whole night with the sweet sound of it.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the use of a speech compression technique to reduce the amount of information required to enable reasonably accurate reproduction of the original speech such that it can be transmitted at low bandwidth for pager or low power mobile telephone systems.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
Pager systems use narrow bandwidth to transmit a phone number to a portable unit. When the portable unit receives the number, the user must go to a telephone to either receive a recorded message or to call the initiating number. Alternatively, the initiating caller can send a keyed in message. It would be desirable for the caller to provide a spoken message that would be transmitted to the pager, but that would require a wider bandwidth than is generally used by pager systems. It would further be desirable to be able to use a pager system to send a spoken reply message, but that again would require more bandwidth and would also require considerably more power in the portable unit.
There is a desire to have mobile phones operate for longer time periods on smaller batteries. One solution is to have a high density of relay stations so that low power transmission can be used. However, this will not always be possible and a high power transmission may sometimes be required to reach the nearest relay station. Thus, it would be desirable to have a system that reduces required transmission power by reducing the amount of data that is needed for conveying a message.
Speech recognition systems have now reached the degree of sophistication whereby they are capable of recognizing and identifying many spoken words and phrases or phonemes and providing digital codes for representation, storage, transmission and reproduction of such words or phrases and/or phonemes. Such digital code greatly compresses the original audio information, but retains sufficient information to allow recreation of the original speech in an understandable form. Word or phrase recognition provides the greatest compression while phoneme recognition is more flexible.
Transmission of analog information, particularly sound, generally requires a relatively large amount of power and relatively large bandwidth. It is readily apparent that, with the bandwidth restrictions being placed upon transmission channels, the amount of information required to be transmitted within the allowed limited channel bandwidth in order to provide the same or similar sound recognition information at the receiving end will require additional transmission time. While digital techniques require less bandwidth than do analog techniques, the amount of digital information required for accurate duplication of the analog signal is considerably more than required for the identification of words or phonemes. For example, a few bits can represent a word or phoneme, while several bits may be used to represent a fraction of a second of analog information, where the number of bits and the duration of time represented depends upon the accuracy of reproduction to be achieved. Since the power utilized in transmission of information or data is far greater than the power generally required to manipulate the information or data to be transmitted, it is apparent that any procedures that will minimize transmission power requirements will be extremely useful, especially when battery operated devices with limited power availability are involved. Bandwidth restrictions are also important. This minimization of transmission power requirements becomes extremely important in devices such as pagers and mobile telephones which are battery operated and have limited available power. It is apparent that the amount of information that can be received and/or transmitted by the pager or mobile telephone will have a direct relation to the amount of available power and bandwidth and this amount of received information can be increased if it can be transmitted more efficiently and the ratio of message information transmitted to power consumption and bandwidth required can be increased.
While the discussion herein is primarily directed to spoken input, it can also be applied to typed input. An abbreviated code can be assigned to words and phrases and this abbreviated code can be substituted for the input string of characters for storage and transmission.
In accordance with the present invention, information, primarily but not limited to speech, is compressed to reduce the amount of transmitted information required to enable intelligible reproduction of the original information at a remote location.
In the preferred embodiment, the information is compressed at a pager base station prior to transmission to the remote pager. The remote pager stores the transmitted compressed information and recreates the information from the stored code on command.
Briefly, the above compression is accomplished by recognizing certain information, such as phonemes and/or words or phrases and/or any other types of information capable of being identified by a relatively small amount of digital data. The recognizable information capable of being identified with a small amount of data is coded at the transmitting station by comparison with a data base and providing the digital coding for transmission. In addition, the type of voice is recognized, such as male, female, child, foreign accent or a particular individual and coding is sent indicating such voice type along with the other recognizable information, such as volume or pitch. The amount of information detected and transmitted relative to voice type will determine the accuracy with which the voice is reproduced at the remote station. However, though an increased amount of information will provide more accurate voice reproduction, it will also require that an increased amount of information be transmitted, thereby utilizing more data transmission time. Also, additional processing of the information will be required both for compression and recreation. It follows that a tradeoff must be made. However, by transmitting voice recognition information as well as information relative to phonemes, words, phrases and the like, a more accurate reproduction of the original voice can be provided with a greatly reduced amount of transmitted information. For example, if the voice characteristics of certain individuals are also coded in the data base at each terminal, a single code relative to the individual talking can be provided, thereby providing an accurate voice reproduction at the receiving end while only one voice identifier and phoneme data are being transmitted.
Optionally, users of the system can have voice characteristics stored in the system data base and input an assigned code (for example, saying their name) to select their voice characteristics for the speech recreation.
The coding is transmitted and the transmitted code is identified with a corresponding code at the receiving end (e.g., at the central station and the remote pager). When the particular information capable of being compressed in the manner described herein is recognized at the transmission end by comparison in a data base and the type of voice or individual speaking is also recognized by comparison in a data base, the particular binary codes in the data base for that information are transmitted to the remote unit (e.g., the pager or mobile telephone).
The coded information to describe the type of information sent is preferably binary, thereby requiring very limited bandwidth for transmission. Also, the binary number representative of the information capable of being compressed can be transmitted to the remote location using much less power since the amount of data to be transmitted is substantially reduced. This coded information received at the remote location, such as a pager or mobile telephone, is used to reconstruct the information capable of being compressed as well as the voice type from the data base therein which has the same coded information as in the data base at the transmitting end. As stated above, in the case of a spoken message, the transmitted data can provide additional information such as, for example, whether the voice was male, female, a youth, accented, a particular individual, etc. in order to reproduce the original sound more closely. The remote station can also have some or all of the operational capabilities of the transmitting station, thereby permitting at least some type of communication in both directions. For mobile telephone applications, the preferred form is to have the mobile unit receive information in the standard format and to transmit information in the encoded format to save transmission power. The base station would optionally recreate audio information (either analog or digital) from the encoded information for further transmission in the telephone network. Optionally, the mobile unit could switch from standard transmission to encoded transmission, depending upon battery status and distance from the receiving station.
The representation of the phoneme or other information can be altered to the point that it is still recognizable, be close to the sound of the originally spoken information and yet can be transmitted using much less information than that required to transmit the phoneme as originally expressed.
The FIGURE is a schematic diagram of a paging system in accordance with the present invention.
Referring now to the FIGURE, there is shown a pager system having a base transmitting section 1 and a receiving section 3 in the form of a pager. It should be understood that the transmitting section 1 can also be a receiving section and the receiving section 3 can also be a transmitting section to provide a two-way pager if sufficient power capability is available at the pager section 3.
Speech which requires a relatively large bandwidth for accurate reproduction is generated by a voice or the like at the transmitting section 1 and is sensed by an encoder 5 which includes a data base represented by way of example in the FIGURE by a phoneme recognition unit 7 of standard type having its own data base and a voice type recognition unit 9 having its own data base. The phonemes detected by phoneme recognition unit 7 require a relatively large bandwidth for accurate transmission are compared with the phoneme data base which matches the recognized phoneme and provides a binary number corresponding to the encoder in standard manner. The voice type unit 9 determines the type of voice or a specific person's voice by recognition of pitch and harmonic content, or by input code, and by comparison with the data base therein and provides a binary number corresponding to the voice type information received. The binary numbers corresponding to the detected phoneme requires substantially less data than the original analog signal or digital representation of the analog signal for accurate transmission of the phonemes themselves and therefore less transmission power and less bandwidth are required than does the phoneme itself as originally applied to the data base 9. The amount of binary data required to provide voice recognition is also small with the amount of data required to transmit both phoneme and voice recognition data being far less than that required to provide transmission of the original analog equivalent.
The binary information indicative of voice type and phonemes detected at encoder 5 is then transmitted by a transmitter 13, at low bandwidth and relatively low power requirement compared with that required if the phoneme in analog form or digital representation of the analog form were transmitted, to the receiver 13 of the receiving station 3. The receiving station 3 is a pager or mobile telephone unit in the preferred embodiment. The receiver 13 receives the binary signals and stores these signals for later use in storage 15 or operates upon these signals concurrently with reception. Upon conditioning by the user, the pager then recreates the analog or digital representation of the sound in conjunction with a data base. This is accomplishes by selecting a message from the stored code 15 with a code selector 17 where the storage option is provided and utilized and passing this code via the recreation circuit 19 to the code data base 21. The code data base 21 recreates the phonemes and voice type by comparison of the code with code in the data base and returning the recreated information to the recreation circuit. The recreation circuit 19 determines whether the message is aural or visual. If the message is aural, then the phonemes with voice type are provided in aural form by the broadcast and display device 23 with original voice type reproduced to the extent coded. If the message is visual, then the message is displayed on a display in device 23 in standard manner.
Upon receipt of information at the receiver 13, a signal can be provided by the pager in standard manner to indicate such reception.
The receiving station 3 requires relatively low power operation since it receives a binary representation addressed to more complex information stored in its code data base 21. Sections 19, 21 and 23 can be powered only as required when the user elects to hear a message.
In the above described embodiment, the amount of information contained in the binary number transmitted can be varied, as desired, this amount generally being a tradeoff among reproduction quality, transmission time and circuit complexity.
In addition, it is apparent that the circuitry shown can be used to transmit from the receiving unit 3 back to the receiving unit 1 in the same manner as demonstrated above from the transmitting unit 1 to the receiving unit 3. Alternatively, encoding and decoding can both be accomplished at mobile units, optionally with a base station and normal telephone networks for relaying the encoded information. In another alternative, the base station broadcasts selected encoded messages.
Though the invention has been described with reference to specific preferred embodiments thereof, many variations and modification will immediately become apparent to those skilled in the art. It is therefore the intention that the appended claims be interpreted as broadly as possible in view of the prior art to include all such variations and modifications.

As our day came to an end and were getting ready to go home, one of my student's asked me; "Mrs. Bryant, are you RICH?"
I chuckled and handed her, her snack and I said, "No, why do you ask?"
When I looked into her eyes, something in my spirit nudged me and I quickly changed my response to, "Wait, NO I AM, I AM the richest person in this school building, because you are my student!" She must have not understood what I meant, because she quickly turned to her friend and told her, "See, I told you, she is rich!" and in an instant they both looked at me with such admiration, I was truly humbled!
It may sound so teacher cliché, but this is the truth! In her five year old thinking, she may not have understood my response, but I know that one day she will grow up and remember those words and realize that I was not talking about monetary richness, but life richness!
I say this because, as we walked out to our pick-up area, her words resounded in the inner most part of my soul and triggered so many reasons on why I AM RICH!
You see, it' s our natural human instinct to think about "richness" solely as monetary gains and dollars in our bank account, but this is not necessarily true!
Think about all the people in the world who are fully loaded, yet have an emptiness, a void that is destroying them little by little! With no hope, no love, an empty life! They are poor in spirit, but rich in money!
So yes I am Rich!
I am Rich with a spirit filled life!
I am Rich with a husband who loves and cares for me!
I am Rich with children I adore and love!
I am Rich with parents who taught me right from wrong!
I am Rich with sisters who are my best friends!
I am Rich with brothers who are strong, brave, and courageous!
I am Rich with students I teach, love, and nurture!
I am Rich and Blessed to be called Teacher!
And so are you! ~Tchr888

Q: Is hatred toward someone ever justified? For example, how do we take Jesus' words, 'If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters -yes, even his own life- he cannot be my disciple' (Luke 14:26)?"
A: The words of Jesus you cite may at first appear to be at odds with his remark from the Sermon on the Mount, "But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you…" (Luke 5:44). But the context of the passage from Luke 14 shows that Jesus in that instance is speaking of the seriousness of discipleship. If anything or anyone to which one is earthly connected interferes and detracts from a person following Christ, that hindrance (even if it be a person – yes, even a close relative) has to be detested. Only in this respect is such "hatred" justified. Naturally the loving desire for the soul of a hardened unbeliever to experience conversion through the Gospel is always a part of every Christian's prayer life. But when a choice has to be made between loyalty to Jesus and his Word and loyalty to a person with whom one has external affiliation, the only option for the believer is severance (painful as it may be!) from the obstructionist.
Frequently commentators try to explain the hard words of Jesus in Luke 14 by insisting that Jesus was only using hyperbole, that he didn't really mean "hate" in the precise sense of the term. This approach seems unwarranted. Why take away from the harsh edge of his words? All rival interests battling for top billing in our life must be hated, not just "loved less," when our obedience to Jesus Christ is at risk. Didn't Jesus say, "Anyone who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me" (Matthew 10:37)? Christ reminded his disciples just how heated their confession of him could become: "Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other…" (Luke 12:51, 52).

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is defined loosely as a network in which customer connectivity among multiple sites is deployed on a shared infrastructure with the same access or security policies as a private network. With the recent advent of marketing activities surrounding the term VPNs, from new technologies supporting VPNs to a flurry of VPN-enabled products and services, you might think that the VPN concept is a major technology throughput. However, as is often the case, VPN is a concept that is more than 10-years old and is well known in the service provider market space....

Technology can be most broadly defined as the entities, both material and immaterial, created by the application of mental and physical effort in order to achieve some value. In this usage, technology refers to tools and machines that may be used to solve real-world problems. It is a far-reaching term that may include simple tools, such as a crowbar or wooden spoon, or more complex machines, such as a space station or particle accelerator. Tools and machines need not be material; virtual technology, such as computer software and business methods, fall under this definition of technology.

Fronting Liferay Tomcat with Apache HTTPd daemon
General Blogs April 20, 2013 By David H Nebinger
So here's my situation...
I've got a Gentoo Linux server sitting around that I wanted to get Liferay 6.0.6 up and running on. Although this blog will cover the setup I did for my Gentoo box, for the most part you should be able to adapt what I've done for your Linux box. Heck, a lot of this will probably work on a Windows system too, but you're on your own as far as that goes...
Installing Dependencies and the Liferay Tomcat Bundle
My system already has the Java SDK, OpenSSL, and other dependent software installed, so I'm not going to rehash that installation and setup. Suffice it to say that you may find yourself installing some missing components along the way to satisfy dependencies...
Gentoo makes installation pretty easy for all of the components that I needed. Specifically I issued the following command:
$ emerge www-servers/apache dev-libs/apr dev-libs/apr-util www-apache/mod_jk
So that installs the basic software for Apache HTTPd version 2.2.17, but doesn't complete the configuration for us.
Next I downloaded the Liferay 6.0.6/Tomcat bundle in preparation for installation.
Now you might be asking yourselves why I didn't install Tomcat using Gentoo's emerge command and then install Liferay into Gentoo's Tomcat. The reason is that Gentoo's Tomcat actually gets installed to many different directories and doesn't retain the 'all in one directory' setup that's pretty standard w/ Tomcat installs. The tomcat/logs directory ends up over in /var/log, the tomcat/temp directory ends up over in /var/tmp, the tomcat/bin, tomcat/lib, and tomcat/webapps directories end up in /usr/share/tomcat-6, and tomcat/conf ends up in /etc. From a Linux standards perspective, this reorganization makes total sense. Knowing all of the reconfiguration I'd be doing in order to get Liferay up and running in this setup seems to be more trouble than it's worth, at least in the short term. Who knows, maybe if I get some time I'll explore what is involved in doing it the Gentoo way, but for now I've decided to skip it...
Instead I expanded the Liferay 6.0.6 Tomcat bundle to /opt, with the final installation path as /opt/liferay-portal-6.0.6. To make upgrading easier, I created a symbolic link as /opt/liferay using the following command:
$ ln -s /opt/liferay-portal-6.0.6 /opt/liferay
So the path for tomcat is now /opt/liferay/tomcat-6.0.29, and I created another symlink for that as /opt/liferay/tomcat.
The first thing I did was delete the provided JRE that is part of the bundle. This makes the startup.sh and shutdown.sh scripts unhappy as they want to use that JRE, so I had to edit them to use my installed Java environment. I also took the opportunity to hard code the CATALINA_HOME environment variable and tweak the Java command line arguments for memory handling, timezone, etc.
From here you'll want to skip over to Liferay.com and use their documentation to get your database defined, mail server changes done, and fix up your portal-ext.properties files.
At the end of all of this configuration, I could start up Tomcat and hit Liferay by going to Tomcat's port 8080 in order to verify that it was up and running.
So next we have to worry about setting up Apache so that it can front Tomcat. A lot of folks have trouble doing this (you'll see a lot of questions and stuff when you search your favorite search engine). I have to admit that I had to go back and forth tweaking the files until I got it all right...
So now I'm going to be referring to the Apache config files, specifically as initially installed in my Gentoo system. The file paths will probably be different on your system, but the content of the changes should basically be the same...
Configure mod_jk
Gentoo installed mod_jk as part of our previous emerge command, but we need to enable it so Apache will use it when it is running. So we have to edit /etc/conf.d/apache2 and find the line with the APACHE2_OPTS defined. At the end of the line (but still within the quotes), add
-D JK. This will enable the loading of the mod_jk when Apache starts up.
The default configuration for mod_jk as installed in Gentoo is pretty complete and shouldn't require any significant editing. The only change I had to make to /etc/apache2/modules.d/88_mod_jk.conf was to change the only uncommented JkMount line so it read:
JkMount /* ajp13
I also changed the JkAutoAlias so that it pointed to /opt/liferay/tomcat/webapps, but honestly I don't know if it was really necessary or not.
Now, the one thing you'll see going forward is that I actually have the JkMount thing in another file. This change was the most obvious one (I mean, the default Gentoo file already had a JkMount here), but it didn't work the first time I started Apache up. So there will be another place in this blog where the JkMount will come up again, and if you do them all you should have the same success that I had.
Gentoo's workers file is /etc/apache2/jk-workers.properties. It's got a lot of comments in it, but basically you should end up w/ the following:
The ajp13 is actually going to be our Liferay/Tomcat guy. Perhaps I should have changed it to, say, liferay, but I didn't feel that I wanted to make such sweeping changes to Gentoo's default config.
I said the JkMount would come up again, and here it is. I had to modify the /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/default_vhost.include file, and I added the following:
<IfModule jk_module>
JkMount /* ajp13
This change applies the JkMount to the default virtual host, and was necessary for Apache to pass the requests through to Liferay.
After these changes were made, I could fire up Apache and hit the regular port 80 of Apache and it passed the requests through to Tomcat, and it was all working great!
Have Apache Serve Liferay Static Content
The best reason to front Liferay/Tomcat with Apache is to let Apache handle the serving of the static content (images, stylesheets, etc) and let Tomcat deal w/ the dynamic content.
To do this, you're going to have to do some directory copying... First copy the /opt/liferay/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/html directory to Apache's htdocs directory, /var/www/localhost/htdocs in my case. You should also copy all of the other webapps directories (all except for ROOT) to the htdocs directory. By copying all of these directories, any incoming requests for static content will be handled by Apache rather than Tomcat.
NOTE: As you redeploy your portlets, themes, etc. to Liferay, you should also copy the directories over to the htdocs directory, otherwise Apache might serve an older version of the file(s).
For Apache to handle static files, you need to go back to the /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/default_vhost.include file and add some lines just below the JkMount line you added earlier. You'll end up with the following:
<IfModule jk_module>
JkMount /* ajp13
JkUnmount /*.jpg ajp13
JkUnmount /*.jpeg ajp13
JkUnmount /*.gif ajp13
JkUnmount /*.png ajp13
JkUnmount /*.ico ajp13
JkUnmount /*.css ajp13
JkUnmount /*.js ajp13
By using JkUnmount, you're indicating to Apache that it should handle requests with the given extension(s) rather than passing them through to Tomcat.
The one obvious extension that is missing from the above is the .html extension. Since the servlet mapping mechanism in a web application can map .html extensions to a servlet, adding this extension might not give you the result you're expecting. The way I figure it, it's better to let Tomcat serve the single html file (if it is static) rather than break some servlet or portlet functionality, but it is really just a matter of research in the various web.xml files to see if you have any servlet mappings expecting .html extensions. If you don't have any such mappings (now or in the future), you can add the extension as a JkUnmount and let Apache handle them. If you do have the mappings, expect to have the mappings, or just don't want to do the research, then leaving the JkUnmount out for this extension is the safest bet.
Since we're talking about JkUnmounts, if you have other directories in your htdocs folder that Apache should always handle, then add them as JkUnmounts. For example, say I have a javadocs directory in my htdocs folder and I need Apache to handle it, I'd add the following line:
JkUnmount /javadocs/* ajp13
Setup Liferay To Use Apache
The final step involves editing your /opt/liferay/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/portal-ext.properties file to include the following:
This ensures that Liferay will know that it is operating behind Apache HTTPd and will handle redirects correctly.
That's all there is to it. The fact that you're seeing this on port 80 rather than 8080 is proof that these instructions work!

El Camaleon GC has cemented its place on the PGA tour for a number of years now and it is of no surprise that the OHL returns here once again. The Greg Norman designed course has it various times been difficult, but in the majority has been a scoreable track if you can keep it in play from tee to green. The course measures a shade below 7000 yards which generally means the shorter hitters have the opportunity to land a blow. None more so was this evident last year when Graeme McDowell beta Jason Bohn and Russell Knox in a playoff. Last year a more classical, technical game won through and with the rough grown an extra half inch for this year I will tend to side with that type of game once again.
Russell Knox slots in at the top of the market this week and it is understandable why. He is one of the best ball strikers in the game and with a runner up spot already posted here at this venue most hold every chance of playing well. I'd prefer to stake a few quid on the rookie JON RAHM this week however. He has impressed a fair bit since taking to the tour and whilst I have kept my powder dry on the Spaniard I feel this is the week where he could take the opportunity to get into the winners enclosure. It is a relatively weak field and if Rahm can build on the promise he has shown so far then he should contend once again. Since June he has posted a runner up, one third and five other top 25 finishes in only ten events played. That is an impressive run of figures and this lad clearly has a lot of game. His tee to green game should suit this layout and this is the first week I've been tempted to get involved with the talented youngster.£10 Free Credit and a £500 Deposit Bonus
We last invested in the South Korean SI WOO KIM a few weeks back at the CIMB where he finished 10th and I'm inclined to give him another shot as I feel a second victory may not be too far away for this talented 21 year old. Plenty of golfers from this part of the world come with a lot of expectation and rarely deliver but Kim already has earlier this season at the Wyndham. There he romped to a 5 shot victory at 21 under par. Sedgefield is a track that rewards a solid tee to green game and ball striking, therefore Kim must be considered at El Camaleon where he finished 17th on debut last year. I'll be looking to land Kim's second win on tour as I feel it is inevitable and he is still slightly under the bookies radar.

"Our Commitment is Your Total Comfort"
Over 30 Years of Experience Serving St. Louis
All homes need humidity control. In southern climates, they need it year round. Aprilaire has a solution for every sized home. From our compact 65-pint unit to our 135-pint unit for homes that are 4,000 square feet or more, Aprilaire can provide every homeowner with whole-home protection and performance of central dehumidification.
Air conditioning alone can't satisfy your home's humidity requirements. Your air conditioning system is designed to control temperature, not humidity and only removes humidity as a byproduct of cooling. During the spring and fall seasons when it's still cool outside but damp inside, your air conditioning isn't running and your house temperature is uncomfortable. To solve that issue, you need an Aprilaire Whole-Home Dehumidifier.
Aprilaire Whole-House Dehumidifiers work throughout your entire home. They remove up to 50% more water per kilowatt hour than leading portable dehumidifiers.
Added Features include:
"Exposure to mold and dampness in homes as much as doubles the risk of asthma development in children. Anyone with young children in the home should be aware of the potentially harmful effects of long-term exposure to mold and this potential link to asthma in children."
Depending on the size, tightness, and/or age of your home, as well as where you are geographically located will help in determining what size model is appropriate. Your best bet is to contact one of our consultants to determine which model is best for your particular family and home needs. Choosing the right Dehumidifier is an important decision and investment.

in a Crowded Place
in a Crowded Place
The Door
She awoke, or came partly awake, with that horrible feeling of not knowing where she was even though she was in her own bedroom. Something was different. After a moment she realized that what she had sensed was just Aunt Stacie sneaking into her bedroom to switch off the bedside lamp.
That meant it was very early morning, the end of a shift at the hospital. Without opening her eyes Sam could tell that first dawn had come.
She didn't move. Her memories struggled to find themselves. Distantly she remembered how in the beginning she'd fought against the nightmares, how in the morning she'd been twisted in clammy sheets. She did not fight the nightmares now. She was resigned to them, recognized the pointlessness of escape—like an animal locked in a cage, a sacrifice already tied to the altar.
But which was nightmare and which was life? Were these really nightmares at all? If they were nightmares, would they not stay in the night instead of waking with her and following her into the day?
Especially since her last visit to the third floor it seemed as if there had been no difference between being awake and being asleep.
Perhaps the real nightmare was knowing she was awake and still unable to tell the difference between midday and the hollow part of the night.
She realized, abruptly, that this night had introduced a new element to the nightmare—that of falling, falling, a bird suddenly without wings.
She frowned, eyes still closed, trying to sort out why this addition seemed important. There was some meaning to this, if only she could think properly and reason her way through it.
Then the part of her brain that sought reason, sought answers to questions, abruptly switched off. The sluggish, lifeless fog again descended behind her eyes and everything faded to grey.
There was a wall between Sam and the world, even after she opened her eyes. It was as if she squinted against heavy rain, her reality wrinkled and distorted.
She groped for her glasses, dressed, and then sat on the edge of her bed. She faced the window, still as a mannequin, and waited for the day without real thoughts. She vaguely remembered her nighttime journey to the library, but it was as if it had happened long ago or maybe even to someone else.
She ate breakfast, went to school. It wasn't real. She couldn't have repeated anything she was taught, or anything said to her in the hallways between classes.
She had to avoid Heather.
It was vital that she avoid Heather. This idea consumed her, filled her with a cunning that was alien to her nature.
Heather watched her. Sam could tell. She very carefully avoided eye contact, bided her time until she could escape. At the end of the school day Heather lingered, waiting. It took careful effort, watching from hidden places, to hide from the worried looks until Heather gave up. When Heather finally shuffled off, head bowed, shoulders slumped, Sam felt nothing but fierce satisfaction.
She went home. Aunt Stacie was awake. They may have exchanged words; Sam wasn't sure. She wondered why she'd come here. She was supposed to be at the library. She went.
Her feet carried her down Dunston to Fourth and then to Spire Hall. She was even less aware of her surroundings than she had been the night before.
At the library the first thing she saw was that Heather was at one of the tables, studying something.
The sly cunning returned. Sam darted to the stacks. She held her breath, pushed up against a wall of books. After a moment she shifted her position, so that she could see between the bookshelves and have a good view of most of the main floor. She waited, knowing she would soon be shown what she needed to see.
Heather wasn't looking up from her work. Sam scanned the rest of the main floor. Then, finally, she caught sight of Al. She watched him sneak furtively along the back of the library, disappearing and then reappearing between the shelves, until he slipped through a door marked "staff / private."
Sam moved stealthily along the aisle she had chosen, still peering back between the shelves at where Heather sat. At the end of the aisle she faced a problem.
When she moved from the shelves to the door Al had used she would be in full sight of Heather.
The cunning that had kept her from becoming entangled in Heather all day now considered this. If she hurried she would be obvious. If she walked casually across to the door and walked through it as if she had a purpose, on the other hand, she might pass unnoticed.
She walked, not turning her head to the left or the right but carefully watching Heather from the corner of her eye. Heather looked up, saw her, started.
Perhaps it didn't matter after all. Not now.
Sam slipped through the door after Al.
She was breathing in short little gasps.
She turned and locked the door behind her.
There was no sign of Al. But she saw right away that she'd solved her problem.
Three normal doors led off a short hallway. Two stood open, leading into rooms piled full of library debris. The third, at the end of the hall, could only lead to the bell tower. She tried the handle, and it was unlocked.
She went in.
The windows seemed to have been firmly boarded shut from the outside, but there were enough gaps between the boards to admit a grey, dusty light. After a few seconds of blinking into the dimness Sam could see just fine.
The sense of purpose that had carried her this far grew confused. Vaguely she remembered that she was looking for clues.
The inside of the bell tower was several degrees colder than the library. From the little window on the third floor landing she'd imagined the inside of the bell tower as furry with dust. That didn't even begin to describe it. Dust lay in blankets, and the spiders had redecorated.
Once upon a time the bell tower had been a showpiece. An elegant, spiral staircase stood to one side, with carved spindles supporting a delicate railing, and the windows and doors were trimmed with fancy woodwork. Yet it was all now decayed elegance, cluttered with bits of broken furniture and other junk. The closer she looked, the more decrepit it seemed. She could see light right through cracks between the board of the walls in more place than one.
She took a deep but careful breath, not wanting to breathe in the dust but needing to steel herself, and then began to make a long, slow sweep of the floor. She didn't know what she was looking for.
She poked behind covered lumps of furniture—at least, she hoped that the strange shapes beneath the grey, shroud-like sheets were furniture—and kicked at the dusty floor.
Sam tried not to think about the spiders, which in this old tomb must surely have grown to the size of black mice, and she tried not to imagine bats swooping down from the heights of the tower and tangling themselves in her hair.
She found nothing. Her tracks led around and around the room so that the dust on the floor was stirred up and pockmarked and looked like the surface of the moon.
Distantly she heard the door back to the library rattle. Somebody had tried the knob. Heather. Sam needed to hurry.
She didn't want to look up, but she did.
Some of the spindles on the spiral staircase were broken or missing altogether, and at the bottom the stairs treads had collapsed in on themselves like a line of dominoes.
There was no other way to reach the top. Whatever had happened to Al Jordan, it had happened at the top of those stairs.
She craned her neck and squinted into the dimness above, trying to judge the condition of the staircase higher up.
She went to the bottom of the stairs and tentatively poked at the collapsed steps with one toe. They'd given away, but the wood itself seemed solid. She stepped up onto the first step and shifted a bit, fully expecting it to collapse beneath her weight. It held.
She hoisted herself up past the collapsed steps, keeping her feet near the edges where it seemed as if it might be stronger. It held again.
The word whispered around inside the dusty tower.
Sam, half-in and half-out of the fog that had controlled her for the past day, spent a moment deciding whether or not she'd really heard anything. It took another moment to recognize it as a word, and another moment again before she carefully turned her head to see behind her.
Al Jordan stood at the base of the staircase.
"Don't," he said.
Sam was scared to move, but she shifted to a slightly more secure position and then shook her head. She couldn't think of any words.
He gazed straight into her eyes. Sadness pooled there, sadness that had been building up for however many years it had been since he had climbed those stairs in life. He didn't look away, didn't blink.
Finally he said, "I just want to be your friend."
It took another moment for these words to sink in. Then she said, "I told you. I am your friend."
She turned her head back to the staircase. Took a deep breath and shifted herself up another step.
She looked back at him, but he said nothing more. Just watched her, sadly, as she took another step.

Diana Adams, (born March 29, 1926, Staunton, Va.—died Jan. 10, 1993, San Andreas, Calif.), U.S. ballerina who captivated audiences with her radiant beauty and spellbinding dramatic interpretations while performing with Ballet Theatre (now American Ballet Theatre; 1944-50) and the New York City Ballet (1950-63). Adams studied under her stepmother, Emily Hadley-Adams, before traveling to New York City, where she was tutored by Edward Caton, Agnes de Mille, and Antony Tudor. Adams made her stage debut on Broadway in the musical Oklahoma! (1943) and the following year joined Ballet Theatre, where she created the role of Cybele in Tudor's Undertow (1945) and had prominent roles in his Romeo and Juliet, Numbus, and Jardin aux lilas. She also was featured as Myrthe in Giselle and in the female leads in George Balanchine's Theme and Variations. Adams, tall and long legged and combining grace with athleticism, was the epitome of the perfect Balanchine dancer. She followed Balanchine to the New York City Ballet, where he featured her in La Valse (1951), Opus 34 (1954), Ivesiana (1954), and the challenging Agon (1957), in which she and Arthur Mitchell created the central duet, considered by many the most significant and influential movement sequence in all of 20th-century dance. Adams also performed in films--she partnered Danny Kaye in Knock on Wood (1954) and worked with Gene Kelly in Invitation to the Dance (1956). She became a teacher at the School of American Ballet while still dancing. After retiring from the stage in 1963, she continued to teach until 1971.

A California inventor has invented an ingenious bat-and-ball combination toy that lets you play several different sports. The equipment consists of two main pieces, dubbed 'Aryaball' and 'Aryabat.'
The AryaBall lets you play soccer, football, golf, baseball and frisbee. The product looks like a soccer ball; however that's just the exterior. The soccer ball can be taken apart to reveal a football inside. The football can be cracked open to reveal a 'basegolf' ball that is essentially a baseball but has the dimples of a golf ball. A frisbee is also tucked in there somewhere.
The AryaBat is a baseball bat with a hidden golf club head that can be folded out when the users wants to play golf.
All elements of the bat-and-ball combo are made of dense, soft rubber material, which is both safe and durable for play on soft surfaces like sand and grass.

(Model years 2018 - 1930)
The top-tiered vehicle in Jeep's three-model line-up has been completely redesigned for 1999. New Grand Cherokee incorporates more rounded exterior lines adhered to a stronger frame. A more spacious interior compartment with the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee provides greater comfort for rear seat passengers. Power for the new Grand Cherokee is sourced from the PowerTech engine family consisting of a 4.0-liter inline-6 and 4.7-liter V-8. With the Jeep Wrangler for 1999, a larger 19-gallon fuel tank became standard on the popular sport utility vehicle allowing it to travel further before returning to a gas station. The mid-sized Cherokee sport utility remains largely unchanged for 1999.

April 7, 2010
The pension plans at General Motors and Chrysler are underfunded by a total of $17 billion and could fail if the automakers do not return to profitability, according to a government report released Tuesday.
Both companies need to make large payments into the plans within the next five years -- $12.3 billion by G.M. and $2.6 billion by Chrysler -- to reach minimum funding levels, according to the report, prepared by the Government Accountability Office. Whether the companies will be able to make the payments is uncertain, the report concluded, though Treasury officials expect the automakers will become profitable enough to do so.
If either company's plan must be terminated, the government would become liable for paying benefits to hundreds of thousands of retirees. The effect on the government's pension insurer, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, would be "unprecedented," the report said. The agency manages plans with assets totaling $68.7 billion, less than the $84.5 billion in G.M.'s plan alone.
- The carmakers' pension plans were jolted by the downturn, increased liabilities and other factors.
- G.M.'s plan was overfunded by $18.8 billion in 2008, and was then underfunded by $13.6 billion last year, the report said.
- Chrysler's plan was overfunded by $2.9 billion in 2008 but underfunded by $3.4 billion last year.
- The plans cover about 650,000 people at G.M. and 250,000 at Chrysler.
- The Treasury Department owns 61 percent of G.M. and 10 percent of Chrysler as a result of the emergency loans the carmakers received last year.
- The government spent $81 billion bailing out the companies and others in the auto industry.
The report said Treasury officials were confident that G.M. and Chrysler would earn enough to allow the government to gradually sell its stakes. But the report warned that the government could push the companies out of business, consequently terminating their pension plans, if their recovery efforts failed.
In addition, the report said the government's interests as a shareholder of G.M. and Chrysler could clash with those of pension participants and beneficiaries. "For example, Treasury could decide to sell its equity stake at a time when it would maximize its return on investment, but when the companies' pension plans were still at risk," the report said.

Give to Caesar that which is Caesar's
Today's Daily Bible Reading is from Matthew 22:15-22. In this Scripture the Pharisees were questioning Jesus hoping He would give them an answer that would turn into an accusation against him. They asked him, "Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?"
Jesus caught onto what they were trying to do and asked them why they were tempting Him. In Roman times according to the census there was a yearly property tax that was to be paid by individuals who owned property. Does this sound familiar?
Then He told them to show Him the tribute money. The tribute money was the money with which the taxes were to be paid. He asked them whose picture and inscription was on the money. They told Him that it was Caesar's. He told them to render or give to Caesar that which was Caesar's and to God that which was God's. They were astonished by Jesus' answer and went on their way. Of course, they would be back with more questions because they were looking for a reason to accuse him.
Caesar is referring to the Roman emperor of their day. He was their government authority. It is our duty as citizens to pay our dues. We may not like it, but we are required to do it. I know in our day and time, if you don't pay your property taxes, your property can be taken by the government.
What was Jesus really trying to tell them? I believe He was saying as we honor the laws of God, we should honor the laws of our land. We may not always agree with the laws of the land, but we should abide by them. By doing so, we become law abiding citizens and show honor to God.
Daily Bible Reading:
Matthew 22:15-22
15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.
17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
Things to think about:
- Why were the Pharisees questioning Jesus?
- What was their question?
- What was Jesus' response?
- How does this Scripture apply to us today?
Prayer of the Day:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank You for this Scripture where Jesus explicitly lets us know that we are to honor the laws of the land just as we honor Your laws. We are to pay tribute to our government in the same way we are to pay tribute to You. Help us to be good law abiding citizens of our country. Help us to do the things that are right, not only in our eyes, but in Your eyes. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

The Book of Matthew: Life of Jesus Christ includes fifty-seven daily devotionals which contain a brief commentary, the daily Bible Scripture, a few questions to think about, and a prayer of the day. It is a great book for individual daily devotions or a group Bible study. You will be inspired and encouraged in your walk with Christ by reading this book.
