Blue / Green
NIR Spectral Ratio
In homogeneous waters where only Chlorophyll varies Blue / Green works only in Case I (see later) NIR Ratios work well in both Case I and Case II
but may be limited by small signals in open waters
Absorption/Backscatter features
1- Chlorophyll absorption can be probed effectively using 440-570 band ratios
2- In presence of TSS and CDOM, Blue-Green ratios are contaminated.
3- Red-NIR algorithms are much less sensitive to TSS, CDOM.
4- The 670-710 channels effectively probe the ChL absorption feature and the
730 channel effectively calculates the backscatter since water abs dominates
Three Band NIR ratios
Very high spread in the Blue-Green Ratio due to CDOM and TSS randomized
variability. This aspect is not relevant to the Red/NIR algorithms
Future sensors (GOES-R) need to decide between multispectral or hyperspectral mode.
Hyperspectral channels are very important for shallow water retrieval

Farewell to Nkosi Johnson
The funeral of Nkosi Johnson, the 12 year old South African boy who became a symbol in the fight against Aids, takes place tomorrow, (Saturday) in Central Johannesburg Methodist church. Nkosi, who was born with HIV and later developed Aids, died in his sleep last Friday. Tributes have been pouring in from around the world to his relatives and his foster mother, Gail Johnson, who cared for him after his mother died of Aids. Nkosi became the public face of the fight against Aids which is devastating much of Africa. One of 2.5 million Africans expected to die from Aids-related illnesses this year alone, he will be particularly remembered for a speech he made at the World Aids Conference in Durban last July. "You can't get Aids by hugging, kissing, holding hands. We are normal human beings, we can walk, we can talk," he told delegates. The church is full of candles and painted portraits and photographs of Nkosi in readiness for the service. Hymns will be sung in Xhosa and English. Jonas Khauore, a pastor who works with young children in Soweto, said: "I believe that God has used Nkosi to make people aware of the Aids epidemic. Through his talks and boldness he could influence the decision makers." Former South African president Nelson Mandela told reporters: "It's a great pity that this young man has departed. He was exemplary in showing how one should handle a disaster of this nature." "He was very bold about it and he touched many hearts," he said.

Founder's Note
My name is Stefanie Hutchins and I founded Reach Educational Services, NP (RES) with the vision of helping children reach their highest potential. My approach to helping children succeed is to first make every student understand and feel that they have incredible potential and are invaluable in this world. I want them to know that they have my full support as their advocate and mentor (both in and out of sessions) and that I will stand by them and go to great extents to find them whatever help they need. I want them to feel confident in their academic potential and confident in themselves. I want them to feel free to be as they are and to reciprocate the same towards others. I believe that students who are secure and confident in their abilities hold the key to creating a future of their dreams and shaping the world of tomorrow!
In order to materialize these beliefs, the Reach team and I have designed custom-tailored programs (based on individual children's needs) that utilize a broad range of strategic / practical tools. I believe that for many children learning is most effective when accompanied by hands-on activities. Similar to those students, I've found in my own academic experience that learning solely through lectures can be difficult and where possible I look for ways to accompany them with tangible exercises. In my years of academic learning, I felt many of my teachers prioritized working through a preset itinerary of materials in a fixed schedule more so than assuring the students grasped the materials taught. I prioritize learning over memorization in my personal life and in the way I instruct students. Doing so assures that the children learn and understand the material and not simply know it… there is a subtle but significant difference. At Reach we do not have deadlines, we will work on every skill patiently until the individual understands fully and can use it successfully in their life. The satisfaction that a child gets when the internal bulb "goes on" is a teacher's most rewarding payoff. It is, for the child, a moment of self-confidence that motivates an increasing desire to continue the learning process.
When I chose team members with which to partner I ensured that they also shared the same philosophy and had the same passion to positively impact the lives of children. Our work with children (either as therapist, teacher, mentor, etc) is intended for a greater purpose beyond just academic instruction. We become actively involved in finding different ways for the children to get involved in school, community and everyday life -often utilizing their learned skills, natural curiosities and interests to fuel the learning activity. As a teacher, therapist and mentor, one must continually learn and grow both professionally and personally. The culture I want to create in Reach, my sessions and my life includes a continuous search for self-improvement. This is best attained when one attends seminars and keeps up with new educational studies. There are new types of learning and ways to teach found every day and I will actively learn about these things and will always be willing to try something new. Reach also uses a team approach with our students. Our team members and other professionals work together to exchange ideas and strategies to ensure our student are getting the best possible support to maximize their achievements. We will always be open to each other's strategies of teaching and will talk with other educators about their outlook on how to best educate. Everyone has their own ideas and strengths and I feel we can all learn something from one another.
Financial Aid
We strive to make sure treatment is never refused for financial reasons.
We work with most insurance carriers, and for those who qualify, payment plan options and financial aid are available.
Customized Treatment
Every child is unique.
Reach works with its network, parents, and schools to develop a plan tailored to your child's individual needs.
Whether you live in Northern, Central or Southern New Jersey, Reach covers your family. We also cover parts of the Philadelphia and New York areas.
Reach is a registered 501c3 Non-Profit. 100% of Reach's donation proceeds directly fund services, not administrative costs.

|English abstract
|BACKGROUND: Previous research studies have found that the better the quality of practice environments in hospitals, the better the outcomes for nurses and patients. Practice environment may influence nurses' ability to individualize care but the detailed relationship between individualized care and the professional practice environment has not been investigated widely. Some evidence exists about the association of practice environments with the level of individualization of nursing care, but this evidence is based on single national studies. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine whether nurses' views of their professional practice environment associate with their views of the level of care individualization in seven countries. DESIGN: This study had an international, multisite, prospective, cross-sectional, exploratory survey design. SETTINGS: The study involved acute orthopedic and trauma surgical inpatient wards (n=91) in acute care hospitals (n=34) in seven countries, Cyprus, Finland, Greece, the State of Kansas, USA, Portugal, Sweden, and Turkey. PARTICIPANTS: Nurses (n=1163), registered or licensed practical, working in direct patient care, in orthopedic and trauma inpatient units in acute care hospitals in seven countries participated in the study. METHODS: Self-administered questionnaires, including two instruments, the Revised Professional Practice Environment and the Individualized Care Scale-Nurse (Individualized Care Scale-Nurse A and B) were used for data collection. Data were analyzed statistically using descriptive statistics, simultaneous multiple regression analysis, and generalized linear model. RESULTS: Two regression models were applied to assess the predictive validity of the Revised Professional Practice Environment on the Individualized Care Scale-Nurse-A and B. The results showed that elements of the professional practice environment were associated with care individualization. Internal work motivation, cultural sensitivity, control over practice, teamwork, and staff relationship with physicians were predictors of support (Individualized Care Scale-A) for and the delivery (Individualized Care Scale-B) of individualized care. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study provide evidence that environment aspect could explain variations in care individualization. These findings support the assertion that individualized care needs to be understood in a broader context than the immediate nurse-patient relationship and that careful development of the care environment may be an effective way to improve care quality and outcomes.

Sunwing flights were awful. Delay after delay both coming and going. No water on flight. Consequently, they would not serve drinks as what goes in must come out and they could not flush the toilets. Had to wait hours to get into room at resort. Could not even stretch out on lounge chairs as there were none available-as a mattter of fact, I never once was able to sit outside during the whole stay! Even in the lobby we had to sit on cement flower pots. The only times I could sit outside for the whole week was on my balcony, which had no sun. Once we were able to FINALLY get into our room, could not wait to have at least 2 hrs sleep as had not slept all night on flight only to find that the bed was dirty. Had to wait forever for housekeeping to come put clean sheets on the bed - this wasn't starting out very good and it never improved.
Every single day they would run out of beer, so I'd ask for a rum, they ran out of that too, so I asked for vodka, they had the OJ but no vodka, every single day I would tip the waitress like crazy for her to find me a beer. She'd definitely keep the tip but would produce NO beer. It wasn't like I was asking for some far out rare drink - I was asking for BEER! They would not replenish the water bottles in our room so every day I had to go to the bar to get bottled water so we could brush our teeth. I kept leaving tips and notes in the room asking for water and pop to no avail. It was so frustrating! The food was good, but that was it. They had 1 night's entertainment in the sitting area by the bar, but the music was so extremely loud that we all had to leave (we were 5 couples). In all I spent $180. in one week on tips trying to get people to do what they were supposed to do - to no avail. Only once did I tip someone who appreciated it and that was the guy who first brought our luggage to our room. He was a sweetheart, he even smiled and said "thank you, now my family can eat chicken gracias gracias".
On day 3 - it went to frustrating to downright frightening. The man who moved in the room beside ours beat his female partner. We could hear every single punch and kick, with the female screaming and screeching for him to stop - it was the most horrific thing I had ever heard. Then after several punches and kicks the woman went silent - I was scared to death that she was dead. Then the man proceeded to trash the room, he was even throwing broken pieces of stuff off the 3rd floor balcony and out the front door into the open walkway, all the while cursing and swearing, it was extremely disconcerting. I know that wasn't the resort's fault, but the way the front desk handled me after when I asked if that man was still going to be next door to me, and if he was, I wanted to be moved - they treated me like, first I should not be asking, and secondly they pretty well brushed me off like yesterday's breakfast. I knew the Mexican police had come to get him with their machine guns in hand, I just didn't know if they had/or would bring him back. You'd think after all that commotion, the resort would be very obliging to all their affected guests to make sure they were comfortable - but they didn't care one bit!
For anyone interested in going to this resort because of the $1500. resort credit for spa and golf services, don't bother - it's not exactly what they advertise. We tried to cancel a round of golf and they would not let us, then they charged us taxes for the golfing that we did not do. It's very obviously a "come-along" to get people to go to their resort, because once there you see signs for an example, at the jewelry store where you can only cash in $100. of that credit toward jewelry and the jewelry is extremely overpriced!!
I've never been so nickeled and dimed in my life as to when we were checking out. It was unbelievable. They even charged me an exchange fee for paying one portion with pesos. I couldn't believe it - it's their own currency! I will NEVER ever return to this resort again. Even if I won a free week at this resort I would not go. This was my hard-earned vacation for the year - what a disappointment along with extreme frustrationand extreme fear. Never again!!!

The purpose-built Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, located on the spectacular manmade Yas Island, is a fitting finale to a modern Formula One season: it is designed by ubiquitous circuit designer Hermann Tilke, set in the oil-rich Middle East, takes place at a globally suitable time and the visually stunning floodlit finish lends itself to a television audience.
2016 will be the fifth year of racing at the opulent waterfront venue and it has quickly embedded itself in as an excellent concluding race, partcularly since the FIA scrapped its ill-fated double points scheme.
Like Monaco, Singapore, and the off-calendar Valencia, the track in Abu Dhabi is wrapped around a marina chock-full of ostentatious yachts. Yet perhaps aesthetically it lacks the history and old-world charm of the courses it pays homage to.
Yas Marina's distinctive design also boasts several innovative elements including a theme park, a water park, a 60-metre solar-powered Sun Tower which offers unrivalled views for guests, a unique pit lane which sees the cars exit via a tunnel passing under the track and, most prominently, the Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi hotel.
The iconic five-star, 499-room hotel is built onto the circuit and acts as a centre piece of the whole venue, akin to the Montreal Biosphere for a new era of Formula One. The pixelated lighting design creates an exquisite sight once illuminated at night, with colours flowing smoothly across the double curved surface.
The marina-based development's major US$1.3 billion track has five grandstands to stow its relatively small capacity crowd of 50,000.
"Abu Dhabi is a good finale place, they do it very well," says Nigel Geach, senior vice president, global motorsports at Nielsen Sports. "It looks good on TV - and it is very important for fans of Formula One to have it looking good on TV. It does a lot for the local area; we call it the postcard effect."
The Grand Prix has been steadily increasing in popularity since its inception, with organisers claming that the 2015 event was a sell-out.

text: As of 2012, when The Best of Kylie Minogue was released, she was still going strong. This new set collects a fair amount of songs, 21 total, from all periods of her career, mixing them together with no regard from time-frame or style. It's an interesting choice that doesn't always work (her iffy cover of Kool and the Gang's "Celebration" makes no sense next to her sultry electro-pop jam "Slow" for example), but at the very least, it shows just how powerful a singer she's been since the beginning, and if you've followed her all along, it's nice to hear 1990's "Better the Devil You Know" next to 2010's "All the Lovers" and realize that Kylie has never been less than a perfect pop star.

If you want to know how to write, read this book. If you want to know how to dress, read this book. If you want to know about modern art and architecture, read this book.
Think the Barcelona Chair, the Seagram Building in New York and anything minimalist. Bauhaus (which began in Germany in 1919) is all about starting from zero? The Bauhaus concept was to unite the arts under the umbrella of architecture, create plain worker housing and avoid being bourgeoisie. In reality, everyone involved with the movement was, well, bourgeoisie. So the word took on the most damning of meanings. At all costs one wanted to avoid creating something people could point to and declare "How very bourgeois." Which so reminded me of college art classes. The greatest fear one had, the worst thing one student could say to another about her work was "How very derivative." It was enough to cause one to drop out of art school and do something random, like major in business.
But -- let's get back to zero.
Among the greats who taught at the Bauhaus school were photographer Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, furniture designer Marcel Breuer, architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and painters Paul Klee and Josef Albers. Albers taught the introductory Bauhaus course. His inimitable style was to drop a handful of newspapers on a desk and tell students to get busy. He'd be back in an hour. With competition akin to football players at the Super Bowl, each of the students would work tirelessly in an attempt to top each other, creating airplanes, birds, yachts and more. Always, one student would take a piece of newspaper, fold it in half and plop the tent on the desk to the snivels of his classmates. The esteemed Albers would march back into class, eye the paper machinery and pick one as the epitome of all things Bauhaus. Always -- it was the tent.
"This is a work of art in paper," he said marveling at the folded parchment. "This makes use of the soul of paper." And every cortex in the room would spin out. So simple! So beautiful... It was as if light had been let into one's dim brain for the first time. My God! -- starting from zero! Few people can turn a phrase quite so succinctly, beautifully and sarcastically as Wolfe can. He of The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Bonfires of the Vanities and A Man in Full fame.
Again, let's return to zero.
With little money in Europe to build their oh-so-vanilla buildings, the leading Bauhaus lights lit out for America. There they found a receptive audience at Harvard. America's most talented and intellectually gifted students were drilled the line "less is more," a line originated by Mies van der Rohe. Less is more exactly summed up the Bauhaus style. Less is more. How very ground zero!
During this time, among the Bauhausers Frank Lloyd Wright was considered pretentious scum. Too bourgeois, while Buckminster Fuller, he of geodesic dome fame, brilliant. Besides the difference in architectural styles, Wright was considered too independent, while Fuller was believed to be either genius or insane. Better to side on the former. It always comes down to personalities, doesn't it?
The Bauhaus influence resulted in buildings that all looked the same. Similar boxes of glass, steel and concrete. Simple, yes. Inspired? Not really. In other words -- b-o-r-i-n-g. The thing was, Bauhaus was all about minimalism, and America in the fifties was all about excess. Think big, honking, gas-guzzling cars and you have a snapshot of the country at that time. What were rebellious architects to do? Go elaborate! Add cornices and columns, divide up those damn boxes. Edward Durel Stone, the architect of New York's original Museum of Modern Art, abandoned Bauhaus for a more extravagant style, much to the derision of his former brethren. In fact, when the Modern was to have an addition, he wasn't asked to expand it. Instead, Philip Johnson, a protege of van der Rohe, was given the commission.
Yet, today Stone's work, including the Gallery of Modern Art in New York and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., stands as important parts of the urban American landscape. Bauhaus represented then - and represents today - a minimalist style that continues to influence modern culture, from dance to art to music.
What makes From Bauhaus to Our House a worthwhile read isn't just the history of modern architecture and the artsy politicking going on, rather, it's the lessons of editing. The essence of all good art, whether writing, building or music, is found in vetting the unnecessary and keeping the essentials, making From Bauhaus to Our House required reading.
Imagine you're the kind of person who lets life happen to you. Nothing upsets you. You adjust well to situations. You don't have strong opinions. You're quiet. Such is our protagonist, Mersault. The book begins with the passing of his mother, which from all appearances, doesn't seem to affect him much. In fact, nothing seems to impact him. His feelings remain bottled. The shadow of indifference is his veil. Dutifully, he attends his mother's wake at the old-age home where he'd placed her. There he encounters the stares and questions of the people who knew her. For the past year he'd visited her infrequently, because the trips would have taken up his Sundays, getting to the bus was troublesome and tickets were expensive. The day after his mother's funeral he runs into a former typist in his office, Marie. He'd always liked her and she him. In the afternoon they make love. Their relationship begins, progresses. She wants to marry; Mersault agrees. She asks if it's out of love or because she's asking him. Because she's asking him, he says. Marie is disappointed but knows that honesty is Mersault's way. From Mersault's perspective, there could be no other way but to voice what he's not feeling.
Mersault's life begins to fill. Raymond, a neighbor in his building, is a bear of a man who lives off women and abuses them. But Raymond wants to be Mersault's friend. Mersault agrees, since Raymond's doing all the work in building the friendship - other than showing up, little is required of him. Raymond wants to teach his ex-girlfriend a lesson. It involves the police, a lie and Mersault's backup. Mersault agrees to help Raymond for one reason: because he asked. Mersault and Marie are later invited to Raymond's friend's beach house. While there, they're approached by a group of Arabs. Raymond has mistreated the girlfriend of one of them, and now it's pay-back time. Raymond goes for his gun. Alarmed, Mersault convinces Raymond to give him the weapon. He'll hold it. Raymond gets slashed by an Arab and they all run. Later, Mersault's taking a walk when he's surprised by that same Arab. Threatened, confused, sweating from the summer humidity, beaten down from a relentless sun, he fires. The Arab falls. Mersault shoots four more times at the supine form.
"That's when everything began to reel. The sea carried up a thick, fiery breath. It seemed to me as if the sky split open from one end to the other to rain down fire. My whole being tensed and I squeezed my hand around the revolver. The trigger gave; I felt the smooth underside of the butt; and there, in that noise, sharp and deafening at the same time, is where it all started. I shook off the sea and sun. I knew that I had shattered the harmony of the day, the exceptional silence of a beach where I'd been happy. Then I fired four more times at the motionless body where the bullets lodged without a trace. And it was like knocking four quick times on the door of unhappiness."
Actions have consequences, but what part does circumstance play? Very little when your character's on trial. Rather than being tried for the crime, which he admits to, Mersault's put on trial for being an unloving son, an uncommitted lover, a befriender of a woman beater. A cold, driftless, unfeeling person. And this is where Mersault's life no longer becomes his own. Justice spins out of control as the fabric of his being is spun threadbare and this private man is exposed as someone he himself doesn't know. His situation causes him for the first time to feel. It's only when he's confronted with his final lot that he exposes his emotions and reveals his soul.
I first read this book at age 13 in junior high for a class on existentialism. I always considered it one of the most important books of my youth. Some two decades after rereading The Stranger, I realize just how dark a kid I was, and as an adult, am no longer. Could living in California versus New York have something to do with the change? The lean prose of The Stranger makes for joyful reading. If you want to think deep thoughts, read this book. If this were cast as a movie today it would star Tom Cruise as Mersault, Chris Penn as Raymond and Gwyneth Paltrow as Marie (in the blockbuster version). Cast as an independent film it would feature Sam Rockwell as Mersault, Chris Penn as Raymond, Parker Posey as Marie.

Hahahaha .... now I want to go make a new character, play a few levels then let myself die to find out XD
One thing that I love about FATE is that if you 'die' when facing a boss that's too strong, it doesn't mean the game's over, you get about three choices. Though I do admit I can't remember them fully LOL If the boss proves too strong I beat it out of there, grind away on previous levels trying to a) get more experience points and b) get more gold to buy better armor & weapons. Fishing helps with #b lol.
From what I remember on dying
Either pay a price to reappear back in the base village, or reappear 2 lvs up but have to leave all the gold behind (I think it can be found again next time you go through)... and I can't remember 3rd option XD
There are some random things/people that you can interact with that can change each time you go through. Say first time you go through, you find a magic anvil (could be used to enchant equipment) or a FATE statue (it could either offer up gemstones OR summon up a boss to fight) or maybe the merchant of fish seller may be on they island but next time you go through none are there. Or perhaps first 3 times you go through the level there's nothing there, but then 4th time you may have one or all there.
There also could be random pool of 'fish' at'. If there are, I suggest clearly the level of enemies first then fish since you can't have a weapon ready with fishing.
It this variance that I like and willing to play it repeatedly. Usually I don't like playing adventure games multiple times. Same problem with most hidden objects. The match 3 and card games I don't mind replaying.
As for the dungeons in FATE, the floor stays the same for a limited time and the layout changes each time you play the game. I mean it would have one floorplan in each time you play it BUT say you kill every enemy and s\destroy every barrel/crate then go on to the nest floor, if you go back it would still be 'destroyed', but if you go a few more floors then have to backtrack the floor has 'reset'. It would still have the same floorplan as before but the enemies to kill (save for big boss) and things to destroy are back. This helps out in cases where, you've been killed and have to backtrack to get stronger, you can go through previous done floors to get experience to get stronger.
Yeah, I watch show series and documentaries (science & nature) on both YouTube and Netflix. for TV series, I like NICS and CSI. Back when I had cable (and thus TV in general - can't get reception w/o cable) I also watched Criminal Minds and Mythbusters. I'm currently back on my space craze and been watching a lot on that and natural science in general.
I've a huge ass collection of playlists on YouTube too (same name there lol) of both music, AMVs and movie/documentaries. Hell of a lot on watch later list ... then there are the links I've saved on comp to 'check out later' but not added on any playlist.
About having to cut message into bits.... don't worry I've had to do the same... just for the answer on the games!
House of 1000 doors .. now to describe it.... There are 3 games in the series. ah I'll leave to the pros=
"Guide Kate Reed as she solves four mind-bending mysteries that take her to worlds she's never imagined in House of 1000 Doors: Family Secrets! When the dead cannot find release, the House of 1000 Doors serves as a portal that allows the living to help them. Communicate with spirits and meet the mysterious Lancasters family that resides within the spooky house in this incredible Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure game!"
You can check them out here=
FATE (yes its on steam)
House of 1000 doors (link is to steam... I think)
AS for the games=
FATE is a role play, dungeon crawl type of game. But not one of the multiplayer types. There are 4 games in total to the FATE series..... and no I've not finished all of them lol Like most role plays, you can choose the gender and apppearnce of the avatar. First one is just 1 world (village base then dungeon), but in other games in series has you able to choose to go to a different 'realm' out of 2 or 3 choices, so makes it a bit longer than the first.
You can choose the appearance of the character, default human in first game, in a few games that chances to add other races (elf, gnome, ect)
You have a pet (cat or dog in 1st, then it could change to varoious choices later. You can also fish. Yes fish.. that is important! lol secret is that the fish is able to transform the pet into various forms with powers to help you fight. The fish could randomly have valuables in them that you can either equip or sell.
You know, I thought I've had read IT when I was a teen. I certainly watched the 2-part TV special. But recently watched a clip on YouTube that talked about the differences on the book and /'movie' and I did not remember some of the big differences.... and nope won't ruin it for you by say what it is! ;)
Thanks for the encouragement for me to keep trying my hand at art.
Oh I forgot along with YouTube, I also play comp games. But remember I'm boring so its not MMO games ;)
Instead I find like hidden objects, mahjong, match 3 and card games. Only few adventure & role play games like FATE (is both) and House of 1000 Doors (adventure/search)
My time is spent between internet and WildTangent games.
Hobbies? I'm rather a boring and unskilled person. My best skill is watching music and hobbies on youtube LOL
I'd like to draw. Keyword is the "I'd like to" .. except for the fact I can't draw.
Yes I've gotten books on how to start. I've not cracked those open in 2 years lol.
Seriously, though my biggest hobby is reading. I've not picked up a current book and are currently reading fanfiction. But I have the Dresden Files and a Sherlock Holmes collection waiting to be read.
I've tried to crochet but haven't got the hang of it. I need to work on the tension since the rows come out uneven. I also do some digital coloring of manga scans ... and a few of adult (is in color books for grownups NOT the xxx type!) color books. Most of that can be found at D-Art (DeviantArt.com) I have the same screen name there. =https://katzztar.deviantart.com/

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world.
In today's edition:
- Pakistan: Death Toll Keeps Rising
- Methodist Church: Zimbabwe Crisis Headed for 'Catastrophe'
- Lawyers, Churches Debate Tax-Exempt Status Minus Prop 8
- India: State Gov Considers Violence 'Normal'
Pakistan: Death Toll Keeps Rising
CNN reports that at least 215 are confirmed dead after a 6.4 magnitude quake hit southwestern regions of Pakistan pre-dawn Wednesday. Hundred of mud houses are still buried under landslides, hiding unknown casualties. Between 10,000 and 15,000 lost their homes in the quake, and others fear to return home lest their houses collapse. The quake's destruction was limited by its epicenture, located in a remote area of Balochistan province. Mission News Network reports that a partner with Christian Reformed World Relief has begun its assessment, and hopes to send preliminary relief today. The region is subject to regular attacks by Al Qaeda and Taliban, however, forcing agencies to operate through groups already in the area instead of donating their own manpower. "There are some villages completely destroyed. There is a lot of destruction," said the province's Deputy Director of Public Safety Mohammad Ali.
Methodist Church: Zimbabwe Crisis Headed for 'Catastrophe'
According to Britain's Methodist Church, a series of harvest failures combined with economic and political instability may worsen Zimbabwe's humanitarian crisis, the Christian Post reports. The power-sharing agreement between political rivals Robert Mugabe and Morgan Tsvangirai froze in September, further weakening the country. Meanwhile, the country is undergoing the worst drough in a decade. "This is a time when people should be planting for the following year, but the economy is devastated and seeds and fertilizer are in short supply," said Roy Crowder, a Methodist partnership coordinator with special responsibility for Africa. "The Zimbabwe Council of Churches has done nothing," Methodist Bishop Levee Kadenge of the Zimbabwe Christian Alliance was quoted as saying by Ecumenical News International. "The churches should have been speaking without fear of favor, just speaking on behalf of suffering masses of Zimbabwe. Their absenteeism is so pronounced."
Lawyers, Churches Debate Tax-Exempt Status Minus Prop 8
San Diego Union Tribute reports that although some California churches worry that they may lose their tax-exempt status if Proposition 8 fails, 59 California law professors Wednesday said that fear is insubstantial. The ballot measure would ban same-sex marriage in California, and churches fear they may be forced to officiate gay weddings or lose their tax-exempt status if it fails. The law professors emphasized that the state constiution protects churches from such a fate. Supporters of Proposition 8, however, say the threat is not just to their right to refuse, but in how they may use their property as well. Churches point to New Jersey, where a church lost part of its tax-exempt status for refusing to rent a publicly used pavilion for a same-sex commitment ceremony.
India: State Gov Considers Violence 'Normal'
ASSIST News reports that according to a member of a fact-finding team visiting Orissa state, anti-Christian violence is considered normal by the state government there. "Anti-Christian violence is informed by Orissa Government as normal on pretext that there is no Christian, Christian home and church left in Christian villages of Kandhamal district of Orissa that Hindu militants could killed or burned or vandalized," Dr. Ms. Shiamala Baby, gender activist and Director of Forward, based in Tamil Nadu, and one of fact-finding team members, told the All India Christian Council (AICC). "We found the refugees in relief camps refusing to return back to their villages for the fear of any possible attack or forced to convert to Hindu," says Ms. Shiamala. Meanwhile, at least 64 were killed in a series of bombings in the state of Assam, as violence continues to spill into neighboring states.

With no knowledge of who the lyrics belong to, a variety of artists give their unfiltered opinion on other rappers' bars.
Azealia Banks at times is more well known for her social media shade-throwing than she is her actual music. It's all a part of her large personality, and at times, it's felt as though no one in the entertainment world is safe, not even Rihanna.
And then enter Beyoncé.
Beyonce's incredible hour-long poetic visual album, titled Lemonade, finally aired last night (April 23) and for reasons surprising no one, it's all everyone can talk about.
Even Azealia Banks chimed in, saying something nice for once and not causing a frenzy amongst the BeyHive.
"Lemonade is amazing," the rapper wrote on Twitter. "I need to repent. This is sooooo good omg. EXACTLY WHAT pop culture needed."
Perhaps Banks will start channeling this Bey-inspiration, maybe by spending a little less time on Twitter and a little bit more time expressing herself creatively.

I visited this facility
November 17, 2016
I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
11/16/16, I sure hope the new owners shape this place up. The food looks like something out of a.prison show. The staff is very unfriendly. When you walk thru you could pass 5 staff and not one would say hi. The call bell goes for a half hr at a time or more before someone answers. You would think tjat the staff could tell when something is not right with a resident but thats not true. I have.had to tell them for months something was wrong with my family member and then had to yake it upon myself to call the doctor at her practice to ter her what i thought was wrong only for her to say to me, why havent i been told about this. Gee i dont know maybe cause the staff dont care and dont relay family concerns. Called the corporate people (ascention) as well as the state. Got some stuff soeted.out but they think oh well enough time has lapse she forgot but i dont forget... thats the.problem then i go back at them even harder. Family members please.watch out for your family member in there. And look for bed sores they are noted for that also. Could go on and on but i think you got the hint.

I am a friend or relative of resident
With a new administrator and most of the long terms management quitting because of how he has treated them the atmosphere is totally different. We have been affiliated with the nursing home for a good 15 years and know it really takes "teamwork" and the love of the elderly. My grandmother (I am 42 writing this) will say, "Hi, ladies" when passing the nurses station with them all just Standing there talking about their gossip and not Even acknowledge her. I have worked in a nursing home for years and can't Imagine ignoring a patient especially when a family member was walking with them. But to know how the D.O.N. And the administrator have made people want to leave after being there 10 plus years says a lot. He is a passive aggressive person and that can be said about the D.O.N as well. The atmosphere has changed. I wish the staff seemed genuine in the care I gave. I could go in but I won't.

I am a friend or relative of a resident
My aunt has severe dementia and is a resident of Seton Manor. She moved in after staying home with her husband for years. It was too difficult to take care of her anymore on their own. This facility is very nice. There is always staff around to help the residents with their needs. The staff are somewhat friendly and helpful, however my aunt cannot speak anymore, so it is difficult for them to know exactly what she needs. The food seems to be edible, as with some other assisted living places, the food is not prepared or served well. There is a nice outdoor area where she can walk around and they also have birds, which she can watch to keep her occupied. She does share a room with someone else, so I can imagine that that must be taxing to some extent when there are extraordinary situations. The residents seem happy and the staff seems like they are there to help. The actual building is very easy to get to, and they have a good amount of parking. When you arrive, you have to sign in for security purposes, which is a good thing. We were there one time when there was a church service going on, and it was great to see the residents getting involved. It's nice that they are trying to keep them active. All in all, I believe it is a good place for my aunt and I'm happy that she is in good hands. Thank you for your time.

Top of the Morning, July 3, 2014
They've performed at Soldier Field and the Rose Bowl. But for local band Captain Rat and the Blind Rivets, playing on July 4th in Champaign is as good a gig as it gets.
"There's no better place in the universe to be," band member Roger Prillaman said.
For years the hors d'oeuvres before the fireworks at the Champaign County Freedom Celebration, Captain Rat and the Blind Rivets will take the stage near Memorial Stadium at 7 p.m. Friday. It's not far from where it all started.
"Our first gig was at an IMPE pool party in August 1980," Prillaman said. "We go wireless so we can go off stage and into the crowd. Well, our guitar player jumped into the pool. It got us banned, but the crowd loved it."
What will get the crowd going on the Fourth?
We didn't get the playlist from Prillaman, but here are five tunes his gang will be sure to play:
Louie Louie
"It's the national anthem of rock 'n' roll. We are Illinois' No. 1 party band so we have to pay homage to the theme song from 'Animal House.' "
Oh, Pretty Woman
"It's for all the beautiful women we run across wherever we play."
Fun, Fun, Fun
The Beach Boys' hit is "our theme song. We are fun, fun, fun."
Wipe Out
"It's a rousing song with a fair amount of schtick that goes with it. Our drummer (Jeff Evans) not only uses his drums but has a golden portable toilet he drums on as well. Plus, individual members of the band wear hardhats and he drums on those, too."
Good Night Sweetheart (a cappella)
"It's another tribute to the beautiful women and the masses of children in the audience. It's a way that people can switch from their fast dancing to a very nice slow song to finish out the night."

At fourteen, Ava snuck her first romance novel into bed and read it by flashlight. There she met her first "book boyfriend" and has been hooked on reading ever since. She often prefers book-boyfriends to the real thing, and believes that a gooey, fudge brownie is a little piece of heaven on earth. When she's not writing, she's stumbling through her Zumba class (have to work off those brownies somehow), obsessing over the latest PINK song, or feeding her addiction for reality television.

The news is filled these days with reports of lawsuits in which religious ideas or practices are either asserted as rights or condemned as denying the rights of others. Yet it is remarkably difficult to have a thoughtful conversation about any of these cases.
One fundamental reason is that the word "right" is a weapon as much as it is a description. Many advocates of "rights" seem to believe that declaring something . . . anything . . . a right settles the debate in favor of the declared right.
But even if the label "right" is applied in a manner consistent with contemporary interpretations of the law, such a declaration only begins the struggle, rather than settling it. Because no right is without limit; even those most precious rights enshrined in the First Amendment or most powerfully expressed and applied through the Fourteenth Amendment are not absolute.
Freedom of speech illustrates the point nicely. Anyone who has dealt with the permitting of protests knows that there is a well-established doctrine allowing reasonable restriction of speech with regard to time, place and manner. The First Amendment's declaration that "Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech" (emphasis added) does not, in fact, mean that Congress (or a state legislature, or a city council) cannot place any restrictions on its exercise.
Of course, what precedes the freedom of speech clause in the First Amendment are two clauses about religion. Both the prohibition on "establishment of religion" and the protection against the restriction of the "free exercise of religion" are in play in numerous cases winding their way through the judicial system. These cases challenge acts of the government and of private individuals that are rooted in religion convictions.
The rights in the First Amendment concerning religion, like all other rights, are not without limit. This is because the free exercise of religion may conflict with other rights, especially those having to do with the equal protection of the law. We need only remember how some Christian preachers and adherents once justified slavery to see this in a vivid historical example.
It's a horrible example.
But does that historical example prove that in every conflict between religious convictions and Fourteenth Amendment rights the right answer is clear . . . and always on the side of assertions of the Fourteenth Amendment's protections?
This is not a hypothetical question.
There are contemporary cases challenging government actions on the grounds that they "establish" religion. Two examples: Town of Greece v. Galloway, currently under review by the U.S. Supreme Court, challenging prayers before council meetings, and DeLeon v Perry, in which a federal district judge ruled this week that Texas' ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. These cases, and others like them, occupy one end of the spectrum.
On the other, challenges are being brought by citizens who are asserting an infringement of their First Amendment right to the free exercise of religion. One current case (Elane Photography, LLC v Willock out of New Mexico, and currently under consideration by the U.S. Supreme Court) involves a private photographer who is asking for relief after being sued under New Mexico's anti-discrimination laws for having refused to accept the business of a same-sex couple wanting photos of their commitment ceremony. Another (Hall v Walgreen Company, filed this month in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee) alleges wrongful termination of employment, asserting a First Amendment-inspired right of religious conscience against having to dispense the so-called "morning after" pill.
It's convenient for us simply to dismiss these cases or lament them (depending on one's ideological perspective). But we can ill afford such convenience.
The struggle to both honor the religious convictions of Americans (over 90 percent of whom believe in God, and 73 percent of whom believe in the virgin birth of Jesus) and to defend the rights of individuals, particularly those in the minority, is critically important not only for the individuals directly affected, but for all of us. Only if we learn to engage both sides of this divide thoughtfully, without demonization or condemnation, can we hope to sustain, let alone improve, a society founded both on freedom and on faith.

After an investigation conducted by the Charleston District Office of the State of West Virginia Parole Office and the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office, a warrant was obtained charging Kristopher Lenard Evans, 26 years old from Charleston, with transporting prohibited items into a correctional facility; a felony.
In March of 2017, information had been received by parole officers that illegal contraband was being delivered to inmates at the Charleston Correctional Facility located at 1356 Hansford Street, in Charleston. An investigation was conducted and determined that Kristopher Evans was passing illegal contraband through a fence at the Correctional Center. Inmates inside the Correctional Center retrieved the illegal contraband after it was delivered by Mr. Evans.
Kristopher Evans was on parole at the time this incident occurred, and was later arrested for violating his parole. A generic form of Neurontin and a powder substance was seized from his residence. This contraband is what is believed to have been what Mr. Evans delivered to inmates at the Charleston Correctional Center.
Mr. Evans was at the South Central Regional Jail for violating his parole and was arrested on April 25, 2017, by Deputies assigned to the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office warrants division. Mr. Evans will be taken before a Kanawha County Magistrate to be arraigned on this charge.
The incident is being investigated by Lt. E.S. Drennan and Parole Officers from the Charleston Parole Office. Anyone with information on this crime may call 304-357-0169 or submit a tip at www.kanawhasheriff.us. Attached is a mug shot from Mr. Evans's arrest. As is always the case in criminal matters, the charges against Mr. Evans are merely accusations. He is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Eugene Garfield Residency in Science Librarianship
Established by Eugene Garfield, the Eugene Garfield Residency in Science Librarianship was created to encourage the growth and development of underrepresented groups in academic research libraries. The Residency will be awarded to a recent graduate of a master of library and information science program who has a particular interest in science librarianship. The recipients will receive a two-year salaried librarian appointment within the Penn Libraries.
The program will give academic librarians just starting out the best that Penn's internationally known libraries have to offer: training from top librarians as well as firsthand experience working in a variety of extraordinary science libraries on campus - from Vet, to Medicine, to Chemistry.
Dr. Garfield hopes the Penn program will play an important role in changing the face of academic librarianship across the nation. "This residency is not just about initiating librarians into the field;" he says, "it is also about inspiring them to stay in it for the long haul."
