The Lord's Supper — also called Communion or Eucharist — is a sacrament recognized by all Christians. But we don't all understand it or practice it in the same way.
In this one-session class Pastor Mike will discuss how we in the Presbyterian tradition understand communion from a theological perspective and how that understanding informs our practice of the sacrament.
We'll also touch on other theological perspectives and we'll explore the Great Thanksgiving, the Eucharistic Prayer, to understand it's story and structure.
We'll start at 9:45 on Sunday morning, October 7 in Parlor 2. See you there!

Thank you to all members for taking part and sharing this information.
Judy, on a dog's pedigree page, open "Edit". You will find the Bereavement Message field below the "Comments" field.
Ilse - that option is not available any more !!! can it be done elsewhere ?
Hi Karin, If I am right, you can yourself add Information on the dogs GD-Web page - get there via the link below it's name on its pedigree-page.Hope this helps :)

Some have wondered what ever happened with my dishwasher. I did seriously consider buying a new one but in the end, it just didn't make sense to me for our situation. So last week I called to have the repair done and of course I wondered how that would all turn out.
In a word, it turned out fine. In the first place, I had a miraculously easy time scheduling the repair. I'd sort of wondered about that both because of the challenges I'd had getting my oven repaired recently (hmm - I hope this isn't a trend!) and because of some of the horror stories I'd run across with another recent dishwasher recall. Easy-squeezy though - I went online near the beginning of the week last week and could have had a repair tech out later that same week if I'd been around.
I scheduled the repair for today instead and I'm running the dishwasher right now, as a matter of fact. Not only has the problem been rectified, it appears I have a new control panel as well and besides that, I spent a brief but enjoyable time this morning with the very pleasant and even humorous young man who came out to make the repair.
Here's a good guess - I'm going to remember the interaction with him far longer than just about anything else having to do with my dishwasher's manufacturer. Luckily for them, it was a good experience. They hired well. Apparently they trained well. And so far anyway, he seems to like his work well enough to find it easy to be pleasant on the job. Although we didn't discuss pay - or really any specifics of his job - I know that if he felt he was being treated unfairly in that department, it could easily show up in how he presents himself, so I'm guessing he feels pretty good about that too.
Here's something else they've done right - apparently they also really get that it's better to design a trustworthy system than it is to rely on the intelligence and awareness of individuals. I say this because, unlike the oven repair, where I ran out to the garage periodically to turn off and on the circuit breaker for the repair technician, this time the service rep walked out to the garage with me, watched me throw the breaker, verified that it was off and then red-tagged it so no one else would show up while he was working on the dishwasher and mistakenly turn it back on again. Apparently that happened to someone once - hopefully only once before they came up with this much safer procedure!
Have you had great customer service experiences? Send them to me at firstname.lastname@example.com and let's share some of the good stuff too.

Sorry for the delay lovelies,
For the most part majority of the fashionista's out there live in bustling urban metropolises, which led me to our dress of the day. I remember struggling often to find dual purpose, femininity and functionality in clothes that I wore around the office. I am absolutely in love with Diane von Furstenberg's two-toned creation (along with the rest of her collection). The dress is tattooed with multi-purpose functionality. You can wear it to work on a nice spring day, not to mention if you don't have time to run home to change before that date (yes, that one) later on in the evening you can dress this up with a beautifully coordinated clutch. The ensemble is a showstopper, it combines the perfect match of modernism with a hint of classic Hollywood. Of course, you can find this beautiful creation (with the rest of Furstenberg's spring line) at Neiman Marcus and it currently runs for about $398.

Back To Black
It seems like the fall collections of several designers are taking a cue from Amy Winehouse and are heading back to black. I can't help but wonder what has everyone so gloomy? It's as if were going to a state funeral. I understand that it's fall and things must come to an end but so much grey and black is unnerving [can we say baaa-oooring]. But ahh yet there is hope,

Slow-cooked Sticky Maple Pork with Pork Crackling Dippers
You asked we delivered. Make this slow-cooked sticky maple pork with pork crackling dippers.
Forget monster milkshakes and overloaded burgers — Aussies are going wild for crazy cob loaves.
The humble 1980s party staple has cleared the table of other culinary rivals, establishing itself as the Australia's new national dish, according to News Corp's top food website Taste.com.au.
But its not as you know it, with the basic spinach and cheese filling making way for marvellous carb-filled creations.
And Taste.com.au data revealed the nation is hungry for them, with four among the cooking website most popular recipes in 2019 so far.
A jaw-dropping Slow-Cooked Sticky Maple Pork Cobcomplete with Pork Crackling Dippers sent social media into a spin yesterday when it was revealed as Taste magazine's July cover, amassing thousands of likes and comments across Instagram and Facebook.
Taste.com.au's editor-in-chief Brodee Myers-Cooke said it showed dish could be far more than just a party snack.
"We set ourselves a challenge. We wanted something that would go off its (pork) chops so we put with Aussie pork at the centre. It had to be more than dinner. We wanted this to be the ultimate showstopper - a family feast," Ms Myers-Cooke said.
Ms Myers-Cooke said cob loaves began their resurgence three years ago and have only evolved from there.
"Around 2017, the cob jumped the fence. Overnight, cobs moved from classic dips to wondrous creations," she said.
"The hunger was insatiable, so we kept feeding it. The tipping point came when we realised Aussies didn't want to wait for the next party to enjoy the cob. They moved from party food to everyday, inspired by Asian and Mexican dishes."
But it was this year the nation really started cooking its way towards peak cob.
"But it's 2019 when the cob has officially gone crazy," she said.
"The Volcano Cob Loaf, which is actually shaped like a volcano, literally erupted across social media. The Meat Pie Cob has been a massive success. And dessert cobs have even entered the fray with Berry Ripple Cheesecake Cob and Hot-chocolate Mousse Cob blasting onto Aussie tables with unrestrained indulgence."
But where to next for Australia's next favourite indulgence?
"We are now inviting Aussies everywhere to share their cob fantasy", Ms Myers-Cooke said.
"We can't wait to unleash the next generation of crazy cob creations.
You can find the recipe for Slow-cooked Sticky Maple Pork with Pork Crackling Dippers in the July 2019 issue of taste magazine, on sale now. The Cook the Cover competition has a $5000 cash prize. You can find more details here.

Much More Than a Shiny Coat
Shine Hair Tonic is a must have product for any stable. A fine spray specially formulated to give a deep healthy shine to hair, Shine Hair Tonic contains natural oils, protein and lanolin to protect the hair from dryness. The product is excellent for that final, quick spray before competing.
Shine Hair Tonic has the ability to repel dirt, dust and flies from a horse's coat, and can also be used as a detangling agent keeping mane and tail tangle free with an added glowing shine.
This is what our satisfied customers say about Shine Hair Tonic, with plenty of tips and tricks to take note of.
Shine Hair Tonic is by far my favourite Joseph Lyddy Product. It repels dirt, dust and stains, helps keep manes and tails tangle-free, and can reduce static – all while producing an award-winning shine. Spray it on the coat, mane and tail after a bath while the horse is still wet to bring out the ultimate shine, or use it any time to help clean, condition and shine. You can't beat the amazing iridescence Shine Hair Tonic provides, leaving the coat gleaming and ready for a 1st place ribbon! – Shaz D, Albanvale VIC
Have used Shine Hair Tonic for years on my horses and have found it fantastic for getting that extra shine. Easy application gives you the best opportunity to get the edge over your rivals. I have won numerous Best Presented classes and turnouts using this product. If you want the winning edge then you can't go past Shine Hair Tonic. It is a must for every grooming kit. - Nerissa Wallis via Facebook
The aerosol application of this product makes it easy to apply an even coverage over the horse's entire body. We used this product at a show and it absolutely stood out from the rest in terms of application, our horse's immediate physical appearance and ability to endure throughout the day. Even our youngest competitors were able to apply Shine Hair Tonic without making a mess. With respect to the all-important dust issue, we did not find any grease spots, sticky coats, slippery saddles or caked on dirt; even after a night of rolling. So I guess for me, this is an A+. If you need a quality shine that lasts and most importantly, makes you stand out; Shine Hair Tonic is the way to go!!! – Sharlene Quinn via Facebook
Gives that extra body, glamour & shine. Coats each hair to keep manes and tails super, while it gives a dazzling finish and repels flies! – Alina Coulomb via Twitter
Love this on our mare's black tail. The white stain of urine in is gone instantly with this spray, great for emergencies! – @RidersDiary
Directions for use:
Remove cap, hold can at least 25cm away and allow a fine mist to fall evenly over the horses hair, mane and tail.

text: I'd like to begin to do basic home recording and would like advice. First off, I should decide on whether to go the computer or portastudio route. I like the feel of real knobs/buttons so I'm leaning more towards the portastudio, unless most folks strongly recommend recording directly into a computer. I have a PC, so would Cubase or Cakewalk be the main choice if I went the computer route? If I went with a portastudio, which ones are the best for around $700? I was also going to get an MXL 990 for acoustic work and a Shure SM-57 to mic the cabs - they both seem very reasonably priced. If I wanted to use a drum machine, are there some portastudios that have that capability built in? Lastly, I'd like to record some synth; what's the best entry-level keyboard out there? I only have about $1000 for the whole setup, so I'm looking for solid but budget-minded gear. Could someone list what I would probably need with basic costs not exceeding $1000? Thanks

text: Alcatraz Island May 16, 2019May 16, 2019 TravellerTraveller Alcatraz Island provides a detailed insight into the location of the First Lighthouse and the US West Coast Fortress, the notorious Federal Penitentiary, which has long been closed to the public, and the history of the 18-month occupation by Indians of all tribes. The historic rock also has a natural side: gardens, tidal pools, bird colonies and unrivaled views of the bay. Location: Alcatraz Island is situated in San Francisco Bay. Around 2 km off the coast of San Francisco, California, USA. Purpose: The small island was established with facilities for a lighthouse, a military fortification, a military prison and a federal prison from 1934 to 1963. The island was occupied for more than 19 months by a group of San Native Americans from San Francisco, which was involved in a wave of domestic activism across the country, with public protests in the 1970s. In 1972, Alcatraz became part of a National Recreation Area and in 1986 received the National Historic Landmark award. Landmarks of Alcatraz Island: Since 1972, The Island was included as a part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The entire island of Alcatraz was included in the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and was also declared a National Historic Landmark in 1986. The National Park Service has published a plan entitled Development Concept and Alcatraz Assessment environment that has doubled the amount of Alcatraz accessible to the public to allow visitors to enjoy its landscapes and the life of birds, marine animals and animals. Like the National Park Service, Alcatraz Island includes variants of alternative and historical names. 1. Baker Beach: Baker Beach is a small beach and a rocky coastal area on the west side of Alcatraz Island, off the coast of San Francisco, California. 2. Alcatraz Wharf: Alcatraz Wharf is situated on the southeastern part of Alcatraz Island, in the San Francisco Bay, California. Classified as building number 33 of the National Historic Landmark of Alcatraz Island, its historical name variants were "Alcatraz Dock" and "Alcatraz Pier". It is the primary access point to Alcatraz. 3. Building 64: Building 64 also known as Building 64 Residential Apartments, which was the first building, built on Alcatraz Island to house military officers and their families living on the island. 4. Fort Alcatraz: Fort Alcatraz was a coastal fortification of the United States Army on Alcatraz Island, near the mouth of the San Francisco Bay in California. Part of the Third system of fixed fortifications, although very different from most other works of the Third system. It was also used to gather and train recruits. 5. Alcatraz Dining Hall: Alcatraz dining room which often referred to Mess Hall. It is the dining room of the Alcatraz federal penitentiary where prisoners and staff ate their meals. 6. The Former Military Chapel: Located near the port and pier of Sally and the building 64 residential apartments, the former military chapel is a building on Alcatraz Island, off the coast of San Francisco, was built in the 1920s in a mission-revival style to house the officers in the island's military prison. The ground floor had lodgings for the officers and their families who worked in the military prison and the top floor was used as a school and chapel. 7. The Light House: The Alcatraz Island Lighthouse is a lighthouse that is the first built on the west coast of the United States. It is located at the southern end of the island, near the entrance to the prison on Alcatraz Island, in San Francisco Bay, California. The first lighthouse on the island was completed in 1854 and served the bay at the time as a citadel and a military prison. 8. Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary: Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary was an extreme security federal prison on Alcatraz Island which is also known as the United States Penitentiary. It is located 1.25 miles off the coast of San Francisco, California. 9. Alcatraz Morgue: Alcatraz Morgue is the morgue on the island of Alcatraz which is located on the northwest side of the island towards the center, halfway between the Alcatraz Water Tower and the Dining Room, below the side of the Recreation Yard. 10. Recreation Yard: The recreation deck was used by the inmates of the Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary between 1934 and 1963. It is situated in front of the dining room to the south of the end of the D-Block on a high level surrounded by a high wall and a fence above. Tourism: Today, facilities of the island are controlled by the National Park Service as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Alcatraz Island was once an abandoned prison, the oldest operating lighthouse site on the west coast of the United States, ancient military barricade and natural features such as natural pools and a colony of seabirds: mostly western gulls, cormorants and egrets is now open to tourism. Wild Life: Because of being abandoned place, the Alcatraz Island is now a home to many animals and shrubs and plants.• Animals: California slender salamanders are found in Cisterns, demolished guard housing. The manufacturing building and a plaza on the cliff's top is home to nesting and roosting birds. The powerhouse area is home to deer mice. Western cliffs and cliff tops provide nesting and resting places for seabirds, such as pigeons, cormorants, Heermann's gulls and seagulls to the west. Seals can be seen occasionally on a small beach at the base. The parade grounds become a habitat and a breeding ground for night herons with black crowns, seagulls of the west, thin salamanders and deer mice. • Plants and Flowers: Creeping wild rye can be founded on powerhouse area. A trail named as The Agave Path for its dense growth of agave which is located atop a shoreline on the south side. The gardens planted by the families of the original Army post, and later by the families of the prison guards were neglected after the prison closed in 1963. After 40 years, a paid staff member and many volunteers are restoring funding from Garden Conservancy and Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. The untended gardens had become very large and had become a nesting habitat and sanctuary for numerous birds. Now, many of the gardens are being restored to their original state and areas of bird habitat are being preserved and protected.By eliminating overgrowth, workers discovered that many of the original plants were growing where they had been planted, some more than 100 years ago. Many hybrids of relics of roses have been discovered and propagated, including a rose of Wales (Bardou Job) that was believed to be extinct. Many species of roses, succulents and geraniums grow among apple and fig trees, pea banks, cut flower gardens, and sections of native grasses with blackberry and honeysuckle undergrowth.

They're both colored with my Copic markers. Tilda's fur was done wth liquid applique. Please pop over to the Magnolia-licious blog to see what the other designers came up with for Christmas in July, and then play along with us! Maybe you'll win some stamps!

Ugly Modelling
Ugly Modelling
To be different means you are special and that's a niche market in itself in the modelling industry. If don't look like the average
,aren't particularly blessed in the looks department, then ugly modelling could be just right for you. It doesn't necessarily mean that you are ugly - honestly it doesn't! It means you may have a distinguishing feature that sets you apart from the rest- that makes you stand out from the crowd. It could be you have lots of piercing or tattoos. Perhaps you're a dwarf or have lots of facial hair. It's a bit like character work, because that's just what you are - an individual with lots of character.
It just means you are proud to be who you are and so are we. Don't change to fit the norm because you certainly aren't that - and that's why we love you. That's why
agencies need you. There are modelling jobs out there and an ugly
agency can find them for you. It could mean you're the star of a music video or a TV commercial maybe? If you have some character and don't like to hide your light under a bushel then ugly modelling is the way to go. A lot of the time real looking people are required for lots of different modelling jobs, perhaps with a beer belly, a bald head or larger than life? If you think you have got something that little bit different but you still have charm and charisma, are able to take direction and do as you're told, then ugly modelling maybe something you could getting to and do well in.
Not to be the stereotypical is what ugly models are all about - you don't need to have the usual constraints a regular
has. You don't need to be a certain weight or height- you don't have to be classically beautiful either. There really are so many types of modelling nowadays that there will be a slot for you to fill. Never forget you are probably not cut out for the catwalk and fashion modelling role as this is a very strict and competitive market and to be honest, you probably won't stand a chance. as long as you realise your expectations and know what you can and can't do, if you have got and thick skin and don't mind being prodded and poked and models to do this or that, then this genre of modelling could be right up your alley
You can be who you are and celebrate the way you look with an agency with character. If you're really confident in your own skin and don't mind being part of the ugly
brigade then have a serious think about the way you want your career to go. At UK
agencies, we recognise the trends and more and more companies are getting more daring and don't necessarily want the 'norm' any more than you do. Use your unique style and personality and you may find you're in demand. why not have a serious think about it and do something part town for starters, until you decide it's something you want to and an industry that you feel at home in.

Bharti Airtel Limited and Avaya have signed a five-year partnership to enhance Airtel's customer capabilities across its operations.
The partnership signed under the aegis of Avaya Communications Outsourcing Solutions would provide contact center technology and managed services designed to increase the performance, reduce the costs and accelerate the transformation of Airtel's customer service experience.
Airtel in a press statement made available to ITRealms Online showed that Avaya partner, Mara Ison stands in the midele of the deal, reassuring that they would provide services and application cum infrastructure support to Airtel in Africa.
It was also gathered that the new agreement demonstrates the breadth and scope of the long-standing relationship between the two companies.
"It encompasses a broad suite of Avaya technology and expertise, enabling Avaya to implement, source, manage and enhance contact center technology operations throughout Africa. By using Avaya for this complete end-to-end solution, Airtel can move from a capital-intensive model to a utility-based model across its network with 'a pay per usage' agreement," says Bill Crawley, the Managing Director, Mara-Ison.
Airtel's contact centers will initiative a more agile customer service strategy through deployment of Avaya's proactive outreach manager (POM) and proactive Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems, in addition to communicating with customers through voice, email, and Short Messaging Service (SMS) notifications.
With these solutions, Airtel officials said, it would enable customers with the latest in contact services, by not only allowing for a higher number of incoming calls but also actively reaching out to their customers with outgoing service and campaigns.Remmy Nweke
Speaking on the project, Jayant Khosla – CEO, Anglophone at Bharti Airtel, said that at Bharti Airtel, the customer is at the core of everything.
"We constantly innovate and partner with the best to offer our customers a world-class service experience at every touch point. Our partnership with Avaya is in line with the rapid evolution into the data world, and will provide superior customer service experience and extends from traditional voice based to video and social media interactions. Additionally, Avaya Communications Outsourcing Solutions will enhance our service capabilities, and help us deliver superior customer experiences across our operations," he said.
For Nidal Abou-Ltaif, Vice President of Emerging Regions, Avaya, Africa represents one of the world's fastest-growing and most innovative telecoms markets, and Bharti Airtel has created a forward-thinking strategy to provide superior service to existing customers while anticipating future opportunities.
"This partnership ensures that Bharti Airtel and Avaya can continue to collaborate effectively together for the benefit of the company's customers across multiple geographies. With a custom-built solution for each client, Avaya Communications Outsourcing Solutions can help innovative companies like Airtel to get the most out of their communications infrastructure investments for the benefit of current and future customers," he said.
Further, Mr. Crawley, pointed out that they have invested heavily in both people and presence in order to establish a strong Pan African operation capable of supporting leading African and multinational companies as they deploy leading-edge technologies and global best practices for their operations.
"This agreement with Bharti Airtel and Avaya is a significant affirmation of this strategy. We will continue to invest in Africa where we believe we can add significant value to our customers, our partners and our own organization," he said.

Habakkuk 2:2 –
"And the LORD answered me: "Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it."
Our vision and long-term goals are to connect with amazing people and organizations from all around the world so that we can all have a major impact on the world and the modern Christian culture for the Kingdom's sake.
The actual goal is to make it easier for people to discover and fulfill their calling in life.
To be a little more blunt, we will build world changer who step outside the box and radically impact the world for the greater good.
We are going to do this by forging strategic relationships, publishing powerful tools and resources, and creating an impactful community.
The All-In Community
At the core of it all is my passion project, which God placed on my heart to create. It's the ultimate resource for people who want to go All-In serving God, entitled The All-In Community.
Think of it as a safe place for people to come and discover and/or develop their calling and purpose in life.
This safe place is a powerful hub of encouragement, hope, support, prayer, guidance, direction, encouragement, community, know-how, tools, and resources which will surely skyrocket people's ability to soar and do great things in life.
As we progress, we will refine and combine these elements to create All-In Academy, the only Christian academy of its kind, ever created.
We are going to train people how to step out, be innovative, creative, and change the way people look at serving God, humanity, and the world at large.
In a unique twist, we are going to help people discover their calling, expand their reach, and live their destiny, all while making a full-time income doing what they love!
My call specifically is to fill the gap and create everything I was personally looking for, but could not find when I first decided to dedicate the rest of my life to serving God and others.
Our focus lies on the creative, practical, and how-to side of ministry, business, and calling rather than the theological side of things.
Our vision looks something like this:
1.) Create and launch my personal website and blog where we can offer services such as coaching, and resources that help people in discovering and answering their life's calling. This is also a place to help establish myself as an expert in the field. (Launch Date – August 04 2018).
2.) Create and launch All-In Publishing, a Christian publishing company that specializes in books and authors who help Christians step out and do amazing things for the Kingdom. – (Launch date – Saturday, June 15. 2019)
3.) Create and launch All-In Productions, a video course production company that creates how-to courses that aid people in answering the call of God. (Launch date – Sunday July 21, 2019)
4.) Create and launch All-In Magazine, a Christian magazine that spotlights amazing success stories of Christians, as well as articles of hope, faith, and how-to tips that specifically pertain to serving God and others. (Launch date – Monday, August, 12, 2019)
5.) Create and launch All-In Academy – The libraries from the previous 3 elements will come together as full-blown, certified, online courses. Once again, all geared towards aiding people on their journey toward discovering and rocking their life's calling. (Launch date – Thursday, October 17, 2019)
Create and hold annual, in person, 2-day mastermind retreats for grads of the academy. Grads will have a chance to attend a retreat that features practical workshops that help to develop their projects and take them to the next level. (launch date – Saturday, January 11, 2020)
These layers of The All-In Community will also offer wonderful opportunities for people to become published authors, digital course creators, and contributors for the magazine.
The tools that we are currently creating through sambaratta.com will be the foundation used to train instructors for the All-In Academy. Kind of the how to create a course, courses.
Our specific goal in all of this is to impact (directly or indirectly) one million lives within 3 years and have a major global impact within 10 years.
We believe that major global impact, are you ready for this, will have the potential to impact every single person on the planet by empowering some to impact all!
We also believe that the groundbreaking nature of All-In Academy will cause it to become the preeminent 0n-demand training platform for christians, in the world.
Our vision feels something like this:
I. The vision and everything it encompasses is to serve God radically.
II. The vision is to love people unconditionally.
III. The vision is to bring glory to God through all we do.
IV. The vision is to be a beacon of light into the world and lift Christ up.
V. The vision is to empower and train and teach and encourage and support Christians from all over to become the world changer that God has called them to be.
Like everyone else, I just want to make sense of life, and to me, what makes the most sense is build the Kingdom of God by helping others build the Kingdom of God! – Sam baratta
Our vision is big – God is bigger
For anyone who reads this vision and thinks it a little over the top, let me tell you, it is.
I cannot imagine attempting to do this alone, that's how I know it's of God and not myself. I don't even know how God is going to do all this, or have us do all this for Him, it's all a giant leap of faith at this point.
And yes, I have procrastinated on making this vision public, or stepping out very far until now, because it is so massive and colossal. Truth is, I've not even known how to put it into words. But as you can see, here it is, and we are going to crush it!
For this reason, I have full-on partnered up with the Big Guy in the sky to tackle this massive challenge, cause for Him, it's all in a day's work.
I know these are super lofty goals, but I serve a Big God, I mean, like a really Big God!

Removing background from an AVI using ImageJ
I've recently been taking a lot videos of swimming cells, with the aim of calculating their velocity. In each video there is inevitably some background dirt or stuck cells, which can hinder the macro I use to automatically track cells. To deal with this problem I've written a very simple ImageJ macro (ImageJ is an excellent, free, open source image processing program) to remove static objects from an AVI or stack of images, which has proved surprisingly effective.
The macro works by creating a median image based on all the images in a stack and subtracting this from each image in the stack. The logic is that the background will be relatively constant in all the images in a stack, so the median intensity will be the background intensity. Moving objects will be darker or lighter than the general background, but since the median effectively ignores extreme values (in a way that the mean doesn't), then these objects don't show up in the average image.
Below is the macro which can be copied into a text file and put into your ImageJ macro folder. It takes an 8-bit grey scale AVI; if your AVI isn't 8-bit, you will probably want to remove the last line.
avi = getImageID; run("32-bit"); run("Z Project...", "projection=Median"); median = getImageID; imageCalculator("Subtract stack", avi, median); run("8-bit");
Below is a short video of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii swimming.
Running the macro on this video creates the median image below:
Subtracting this image from every frame of the original video, creates a new video, in which the cells can be seen more clearly (though there are a few artefacts in regions with slow-moving cells):
I recently tried to video the shadow band phenomena seen during a total solar eclipse(an intereference pattern seen on white areas on the ground consisting of moving dark bands). Enhancing the contrast didnt work but I am pleased to say your method worked marvellously well. It eliminated the structure in my white static background (a white cloth on the ground) and one can clearly see the moving bands. This may be the first time this has been done using microscopy techniques.
Thanks for the macro! (and introducing me to ImageJ)

I have recently rededicated myself to living a healthier life. Of course I'm focusing on my eating habits, I'm exercising more, and I've even added some activities that should help me be healthier both mentally and spiritually. Let's hope it sticks.
Becoming more active is both invigorating and terrifying. I hate how I picture my chubby self running (the wide angle picture of me that was just published on Facebook doesn't help), but alas, if I don't look silly for a little while, I will never look better.
I have discovered a solution to my upper body dilemma with a Nike sports bra that is both corset, harness, savior, and torture device. In short, I love it. My latest trouble area, clothing-wise, is, well, to be honest, my pants keep falling off. In some cases this might be a good thing, if my rapid weight loss is what was causing it, but I'm afraid it's more likely my pear-shape.
Does anyone have a top-secret suspenders like device I've never heard of? Because if they exist, I'm on my way to the suspender store (locals, we call that Morelock Music, haw!) but I'm inclined to think that's not a viable solution.
I went and purchase several different pairs of full-length and capri length exercise pants and they all do it. Looking back, I swear I didn't pass over drawstring ones, I'd remember seeing them.
Lastly, I'm cheap. I'd really love some suggestions that aren't $70 workout pants because I'll never spend that kind of money, well not u till they actually look good on me.
Does anyone have any suggestions? It'd be much appreciated.

Wrexham's Central Station is set to closed following an unsuccessful rebrand, Getintothis' Nathan Lord reports as another venue shuts its doors.
Yet another live music venue is set to close its doors for good, Central Station, Wrexham will shut its doors for the last time this weekend.
The venue underwent a serious rebrand recently, and from December reopened as The Live Rooms, a Sister venue to The Live Rooms in Chester.
The refurb included a new room, a new vigour and the best intentions to bring a fresh take on the indie live scene in Wales.
However, the initiative proved an uphill task to keep up and like many live venues over the last few years, The Live Rooms is closing.
Representatives of the venue say that they are unable to keep up the costly demands of trying to manage and promote a grassroots live music venue, and time was called on the project this week.
Deep Cuts #24 feat Yank Scally, Indica Gallery, COW and more – best new tracks February 2019
Sad news about Wrexham Central Station / Live rooms closing down. Growing up in rural Mid Wales, it was one of the only venues within an hour and half drive that touring bands might stop at. Favourite gig there was seeing 65daysofstatic supporting Hundred Reasons.

Slimepedia/Pink Slime
Their coral hue is scientifically proven to be the color of cheer.
Diet[edit | edit source]
Favorite[edit | edit source]
Slimeology[edit | edit source]
Pink Slimes are the most common slime found on the Far, Far Range. They're cheerful, docile, and the easiest of all slimes to ranch. A pink slime will eat anything you put in front of it, though they have no favorite food, and their plorts are the least valuable of all slimes.
Rancher Risks[edit | edit source]
Not much to worry about with a pink slime. They're soft, squishy, very happy to be around a rancher, and found all over the Range. But because of this, a rancher won't go far without finding a few pink plorts, which can lead to largos, and then...
Plortonomics[edit | edit source]
Pink Plorts are an excellent 'multipurpose generic substance' used to manufacture everything from food products to household cleaners. All over earth, people are eating burgers, sweetening their coffees, or scrubbing their floors with pink plort products. That's some serious versatility!

The question for the blog cruise this week is "Do you use standardized testing in your homeschool?" For me, the answer is yes. I know a lot of people are against testing, but I am not one of them, and the beauty of homeschool is you can do what suits YOU best!
First of all, my children were already familiar with testing since they spent time in school before we started homeschooling. As a teacher, I am well aware of the downfalls of testing, but, I also feel it has some benefits, and I think what tests you use and HOW they are used has a big part to play in that.
In my state, we have a yearly test called the FCAT. This test is a nightmare for teachers and students alike. It is based on Florida "standards" (determined by people in the state gov.) and the scores are used for rewards and punishments for students, schools and teachers. This type of testing causes stress and anxiety, and the results aren't very useful.
My boys test with our homeschool group every year using the SAT 10. This is a nationally-referenced test, similar to the SAT kids would take in high school, and very similar to the type of tests I took in school as a kid. Testing days themselves aren't a big deal to my kids, they know they are going to go in for a couple of hours, and bubble in some answers. I do NOT use the tests for grades for my kids, or to reward or punish them for anything. For me, the test scores are more informative than anything.
I believe there are many ways to measure a child's success, and I think testing is one small part of that. I keep portfolios for my kids, and every year, I look back on them to see the PROGRESS they have made in each subject. I also use my own observations to measure how they are doing. I usually compare their portfolios and my observations against the test scores. Most of the time, weak areas in their testing are the same areas I have identified as weak points already. In this case, the testing is just another way to confirm what I have already seen. If my child did really well in an area where I thought they had shown weakness in their schooling, I would go back through their portfolio and talk with them to try and determine if the score was a fluke, or if maybe they just weren't putting their all into their schoolwork.
If a test score is low in an area they have shown strength, then I again review their portfolio. If the portfolio and my observations indicate growth in that area, I consider the test score a fluke. One thing I do like about testing is that it gives me a concrete score that I can compare from year to year (my hubby likes this too!). Each year, I expect their score in each area to go up, and I have yet to be disappointed. This helps me to know I am on track. I also like that the test can give me some ideas for things to work on for the next year. For instance, this year, both of my sons scores indicated they were a little weak in the area of earth science, so next year, we are going to study that!!
I don't think its a bad idea for kids to be familiar with taking tests. Let's face it, in college and many many jobs these days testing is required. My husband had to take tests to become a firefighter/paramedic. He had to take tests to promote up in rank. My cousin in the military has taken many tests as well…as have I and many of my friends. I don't want the first time my child sees a test to be when he is in college or is trying for a job. My kids aren't really bothered by testing because I don't put a lot of pressure on them about it. I simply tell them to take their time and do their best! To see what other members of the crew had to say about testing in their homeschools, click here:

North Dakota to launch program to keep inmates from coming back
The program continues state officials' pivot to a more progressive criminal justice system, which has come after decades of rising inmate numbers. State leaders have stripped down criminal penalties for first-time, nonviolent offenses and invested in behavioral health programs, all in a bid to make the system less needlessly punitive, they argue, and ultimately more effective.
That's also true of conditions within prisons themselves, where corrections leaders tout the opportunities prisoners have to build independence, job skills and social abilities before they're released.
The program, announced Nov. 15, is dubbed "Restoring Promise," and hinges on training aid from the Vera Institute of Justice and MILPA Collective, both of which are national groups with a focus on criminal justice reform. Colby Braun, who leads facility operations for the state corrections department, said North Dakota's chance to participate comes after a months-long application process that unfolded earlier this year, and will provide instructional and technical support to help implement the program.
"We know there's young men that come back to prison, they get out and they make another mistake and they come back to prison," Braun said. "And it's so exciting to know that we're partnering with some people that will give us some insight to help these young men make changes in their life so (prison) can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
Braun's emphasis on keeping inmates out of prison is notable. Though state officials are optimistic that reforms will curb growth, inmate tallies surged more than 30% between 2005 and 2018, despite the state's population growing about 18%. And there is great concern over limited prison space — which was a key factor in launching those reforms.
A press release about the program describes the program only in broad strokes, and Alex Frank, who directs the Restoring Promise project for Vera, said that the program's particulars will be tailored to feedback coordinators receive in coming months at North Dakota State Penitentiary.
That makes it difficult to know what the program will look like. But Frank said the program traces its roots to a 2015 trip Vera officials took to Germany with senior leaders from Connecticut, where those leaders were impressed with progressive European prison policies. The result was a forward-thinking program that emphasizes counseling and "peer and self-criticism" that helps inmates grow, according to a feature segment on "60 Minutes."
There are now Restoring Promise programs there, in South Carolina and in Massachusetts, and North Dakota is joining the initiative alongside programs opening in Colorado and Idaho.
Both Braun and the Vera Institute offered further clues on how the program could develop. Braun forecasts a segment of state penitentiary prisoners meeting and building community twice a day — led alternately by staff and by themselves — and participating in group sessions that would help them function more effectively as free men.
"Restoring Promise repurposes existing housing units for young adult mentees (ages 18-25) and mentors (incarcerated people over the age of 25) in prisons and jails," a state press release describing the program reads. "…Though every Restoring Promise unit is different, young adults and mentors are meant to participate in practices toward self-determination, cultural identity, community strengthening, restorative justice dialogues (and) meaningful activities that promote or restore family and community connections."
And Frank emphasized two critical parts of the program: an emphasis on the disproportionate amount of young people that are incarcerated and face danger while incarcerated, as well as the racial equity "lens" through which Vera approaches its work.
"The other piece that I think (Vera and MILPA) brings in is the cultural aspect, and the overrepresentation of Native Americans in the prison system, and (it helps us) understand, what are the things we can do to help our young Native American men?" Braun said.
Braun said he expects costs for the program to be minimal — possibly a matter of allocating state employees' time for training and implementation.
It's not clear how long the partnership will last. Frank said that, for now, the program plans to partner with North Dakota officials indefinitely.
"It's not a program, it's a movement," she said. "It's less programmatic than it is a transformed model of corrections."
