Where is his jacket. These two seem so out of touch, hidden away in their luxury, privilege lifestyle, away from the people.ReplyDelete

I am sorry to say it but I don't like the new hair style. It ages her by years and its like she's trying to hide the lines on her forehead with the fringe.ReplyDelete

Her hair looks too "bulky", I think she has got new extensions, when she changed hair style!ReplyDelete

Good grief - they are the furthest thing from royalty. She slumps and wears Cousin It hair...He looks like he'd rather be reading the Sunday paper.ReplyDelete
The dress is nice but she has got a posture of a 80 year old lady. Why is she always carying her purse like that? And her hair is like curtains, like she is hiding her face. Absolutely not appropriate for a duchess.ReplyDelete

I liked Kate at the wedding, but now I couldn't care less, mainly because of how disappointing she's turned out to be.ReplyDelete
I think she is tired of that life. Look at the body language...ReplyDelete

The kids from today's even had nothing but praise for William and Kate, who asked thoughtful questions and listened attentively. But I guess mental health awareness doesn't matter as much to people as William and Kate looking like they just stepped out of a magazine spread.ReplyDeleteReplies

Bad for charities and royal duties. They stay away from the people, secret/hidden for months (until near end of year holidays for 'palace count'), except sporting event/s, celebrities Red Carpet; by that time, they are useless to the BRF as all the attention is on the poor work ethic/attire/breaking royal protocol.Delete

Pretty enough dress, terrible posture for one so young and beautiful hair which needs to be styled.ReplyDelete
Even if Kate took an extra minute or two to pull her hair back into a ponytail her hair would look 100% better.

Unity3D Reactive Extensions 2: Syntax & Marble Diagrams
About RMC & Unity3D Rivello Multimedia Consulting (RMC) provides consulting services for applications and games. RMC specializes in Unity3D development (see our work here). Please contact us today with any questions, comments, and project quotes. As always, RivelloMultimediaConsulting.com/unity/ will be the central location for deep articles and tutorials, Facebook.com/RivelloMultimediaConsulting (like us!) will engage the growing RMC+Unity community, and for the latest opinions and cool links follow me at Twitter.com/srivello.
Why RX?
You can read more in my first article "Unity3D Reactive Extensions 1: An Introduction". That is recommended reading before continuing with the article below.
How to do RX?
Here is a recap. In article 1 we used an RX approach for the following (academic) exercise;
Exercise: Dispatch a double click event based on custom timing parameters.
Reactive Extensions (RX) Solution
You can see the code is easy to read and powerful. While this algorithm requires state management, we don't have to handle it directly. The internals of RX do it for us. You can imagine with a more complex feature, the code would be dramatically more than the RX solution. Below we break-down the code and explain each step.
NOTE: The TLP Library used in this article is a work in progress. It features only limited functionality and does not conform to common RX standards in the naming, signature, and structure of major elements. These differences are why the syntax and marble diagram names below are not 100% coincidental, but the concepts are similar. The TLP team invites other developers to fork the library and contribute to it. Still it is a fantastic learning tool and quite useful as-is.
Complete Code For RX Solution
//-------------------------------------- // Methods //-------------------------------------- ///<summary> /// Use this for initialization ///</summary> void Start () { // VARIABLES float maxTimeAllowedBetweenSingleCLicks_float = 1; float delayBetweenAllowingADoubleClick_float = 5; int clicksRequiredForADoubleClick_int = 2; // CREATE OBSERVABLE //(ORDER IS NOT IMPORTANT, BUT SUBSCRIBE MUST BE LAST) var mouseDoubleClickObservable = Observable //RUN IT EVERY FRAME (INTERNALLY THAT MEANS Update() .everyFrame //FILTER RESULTS OF THE FRAME //WE CARE ONLY 'DID USER CLICK MOUSE BUTTON?' .filter ( _ => Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0) ) //DID WE FIND X RESULTS WITHIN Y SECONDS? .withinTimeframe (clicksRequiredForADoubleClick_int, maxTimeAllowedBetweenSingleCLicks_float) //REQUIRE SOME 'COOL-DOWN-TIME' BETWEEN SUCCESSES .onceEvery (delayBetweenAllowingADoubleClick_float); //FOR EVERY EVENT THAT MEETS THOSE CRITERIA, CALL A METHOD var subscription = mouseDoubleClickObservable .subscribe ( _ => _onMouseEvent (MouseEventType.DoubleClick) ); Debug.Log ("Subscription Setup : " + subscription); } //-------------------------------------- // Events //-------------------------------------- /// <summary> /// SUCCESS: Double click /// </summary> private void _onMouseEvent (MouseEventType aMouseEventType) { Debug.Log ("RX._onMouseDoubleClick() " + aMouseEventType); }
Marble Diagrams & RX Syntax
Marble diagrams are frequently in videos and blog entries from the Rx team explaining how certain operators in Rx work. From top to bottom there are; source stream(s), operators, and then the outgoing stream. The RXJava wiki has an especially pretty set of these images.
Let's take a closer look at the syntax we used.
- 1. everyFrame: We observe an event stream on every frame (aka Update) in Unity…
- 2. filter: …where the mouse button is down…
- 3. withinTimeFrame: … X occurrences within Y seconds, which we call success…
- 4. onceEvery: …and success can only happen every Z seconds…
- 5. subscribe: …then call the desired method…
1. Operator: everyFrame (Similar to fromEvent)
2. Operator: filter
You can filter an Observable, discarding any items that do not meet some test, by passing a filtering function into the
filter( ) method. For example, the following code filters a list of integers, emitting only those that are even (that is, where the remainder from dividing the number by two is zero):
3. Operator: withinTimeFrame (Similar to buffer)
buffer( ) method periodically gathers items emitted by a source
Observable into bundles, and emits these bundles as its own emissions. There are a number of ways with which you can regulate how
buffer( ) gathers items from the source
Observable into bundles:
4. Operator: onceEvery (Similar to sample)
5. Operator: subscribe
Subscribe is not an operator per se, it is something higher level in importance — When an observer subscribes to an observable sequence, the sequence begins and runs till completion. It is in the subscribe that we answer "What should ultimately happen with the outgoing event stream?". In our example, we call a local method _onMouseEvent and we pass an appropriate MouseEventType.
Our exploration into RX has just begun. Everyone interested is invited to download the source-code from my first article "Unity3D Reactive Extensions 1: An Introduction" and learn more. I continue to seek to find the best RX library for Unity development and have already begun to add RX into my game projects.`

Nailing down the perfect new hire is not necessarily a simple process. You review several resumes, interview numerous qualified individuals and finally pick the perfect employee who meets all the criteria and, even more-so, adds a positive new perspective to your team. The hardest part is over; now for the paperwork, which is tedious, but required. As all employers know, Forms W-4 and I-9, as well as a verified Social Security number are all required for new hires. However, did you know that you must also report new hires to your state?
In 1996, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) established a new regulation that each new employee must be reported to a designated state agency. There are two ways in which employers can go about reporting new hires. First, employers have up to 20 days to file on paper. Or, employers can file the information electronically or by magnetic tape every 12 to 16 days. Individual states may set reporting time frames that are shorter than federally required. In those cases, employers must follow the reporting rules established by their state.
Once the state receives the new hire information, it transmits the report to the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH). At this point in the reporting process, state and federal agencies detect errors and fraud in programs including employment security, workers' compensation, child support and public assistance programs.
An employee is considered a new hire if:
- he/she has never worked for the employer before, or
- the employee has not worked for the employer's company for more than 60 consecutive days, in circumstances where there was a previous employment.
Employers may simply report new hires with a copy of the employee's Form W-4 or an equivalent form created by the employer, or the state. Federal law requires seven pieces of data to be collected for the new hire report:
- Employee name
- Employee address
- Employee Social Security number
- Date of hire
- Employer name
- Employer address
- Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN)
***As some states require additional information, please check with your state agency for specific requirements.
Employers who hire workers in multiple states have two choices; report the new hires to the state in which they work, or report all new hires to one state. If an employer selects to report all new hires to one state, the employer is required to inform the Secretary of Health and Human Services in writing of the state selected, and must submit all new hire reports electronically or on magnetic tape.
As part of our payroll service and compliance commitment to clients, BenefitMall reports new hires to the designated state agency on our clients' behalf at no additional cost, giving employers one less thing to worry about. For more information on BenefitMall payroll, please complete the Request a Quote form on our Payroll Services web page or call us at (800) 362-9519.

Sweet Heart Complete Package
There has never been a complete filter package as effective or as affordable as this.This little beauty is a super performer and a great value. All you need is a pump to push water to the small barb on the side, you can make it out in the image above.
The water flows through the barb into the filter and out over the media through a piece of PVC which has a gazillion holes in it. The water passes through the white Japanese matting and then a circular disc of black reticulated open cell foam. Then it trickles over a 200 square feet of BioFlo.
Water then returns from this filter via a gate valved 2" piece of PVC.
Separately, this filter would cost you $150 to make, but here you get the entire filter, built, for less than the materials.
This filter will easily handle ponds up to 300 gallons. By increasing flows and feeding moderately, we could see 600 gallons easy from this tidy little performer.
This filter combines the simplicity of a sponge filter with the efficiency of a trickle tower. Can be used with UV if you plumb the UV before the filter.

How to Remove Strong Signal Ads Fast
The following is an easy and professionally written guide on how to remove this virus in a fast and efficient way. There are a few things though that I think you should be aware of before we get to that point though, as I'm a firm believer that if you got acquainted with a few details concerning adware (malware specializing in displaying ads), it would prevent any future infections. If you feel that is unnecessary or you plain don't care, simply proceed to the How to Remove Strong Signal Ads section below. You won't miss out on anything except how to make sure this doesn't occur again.
How Strong Signal Ads Entered My Computer
This malware extension has several different ways of making its way down to your PC's heart. I will now comment on these from most rare to most regular. First off, the most important thing you should note is that none of the viruses from the adware class have the ability to simply show up one day. Strong Signal Ads isn't an exception to that. YOU have to let them in somehow. This can be done by just going on unreputable sites and clicking advertisements there, or a little bit more commonly – by opening links from spam emails you encountered on your email address. Another frequently mentioned path is again though spam email – this time via the attachments these sometimes carry. In all cases though, malware has to consciously deceive you into allowing it access.
There is just one (sort of) exception to this rule and that is when Strong Signal Ads (or whatever virus) is installed with another program. If you recall recently adding a free software that seemed like a good idea, a toolbar or something like that, then you should note that freeware is a breeding pit for malware. Maybe not all of them are, but the majority – for sure. Here's how it's done: when you began installing the free program, at some points in the process it should've asked you if you want to include Strong Signal Ads. Since I too frequently just press "Next" without watching I'm sure this is the most likely candidate of how you let this virus inside your system.
From now on you should either check each step of the setup carefully to avoid the "bonus" (and choose Custom Install of course – express always gives you the malware) or refrain from using free software at all. This latter can seem quite the big step since all you have to do is be careful, but wait until you hear what Strong Signal Ads can cause. Then be the judge.
How Harmful Is Strong Signal Ads
In a sentence: the faster you remove it, the better. It's not really a problem on its own, more like an annoyance. The major issue though is that it will attempt over and over again to trick you into installing other malware. And that is just a massive risk. There are many reports that malware sometimes start collecting browsing history, cookies and personal information and send it to its masters. Many people are unaware what's going on and don't react on time. Now imagine if your bank account's credentials or your PayPal's password were stolen from you. Not a pretty picture indeed.
How Strong Signal Ads Works
Starting with hyperlinks on spaces and words around every page, leading to annoying and infuriating pop-ups, and adding a finishing touch with changing banners and ads. That's how Strong Signal Ads works. The other important thing to note is that it sometimes poses as an update to a real program (Flash Player for example, or Java) and you should NOT update anything until you remove this piece of crap from your PC.
How to Remove Strong Signal Ads
STEP 1 -Works for all versions of windows including Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Mac (OS X)
Click Windows and R simultaneously. Type appwiz.cpl inside the search field, then OK.
You are now inside the Control Panel.
Here, keep an eye out for Strong Signal Ads plus any and all programs that look like a virus to you. Occasionally they may go with other names – so definitely be wary. Highlight them, then Uninstall.
Strong Signal Ads has infected ALL of the browsers you use. Removing it from just one will not help you.
For Internet Explorer Users:
Start the browser, then click —–> Manage Add-ons.
When the new menu appears, there should Strong Signal Ads . Also look around for other malware – extension you're not sure of. Hit Disable to get rid of them.
In case your Home page was moved, click —–> Internet Options>edit the URL box, put in the page you want, then click Apply.
Go to STEP 3.
For Mozilla Firefox Users:
Open the browser, click on at the top, go to Add-ons.
>>>> then Extensions.
Strong Signal Ads should be somewhere around here – Remove it.
Go to STEP 3.
For Google Chrome Users:
Start Chrome, click —–>More Tools —–> Extensions.
When you've reached Extensions, Strong Signal Ads should be lurking around with its buddies ——-> select .
Now click again, and proceed to Settings —> Search (the fourth tab), —–> Manage Search Engines.There leave only the search engines you use.
Go to STEP 3.
For Safari Users:
Open Safari, and click Safari —–>Preferences —–> Extensions
Find Strong Signal Ads then Uninstall.
Go to STEP 3.[/text_block_nav][text_block_nav title="Reset Browser"]
STEP 3 (Optional)
This step to remove Strong Signal Ads is completely optional. You need to do this only in the case when the steps up until now were not enough to make your troubles go away. If they WERE enough:
- You are now clear of the virus. Please consider following us on our channels on Google+, Twitter and Facebook. It will be immensely appreciated, because it will help us grow and in turn – that way we will help more people.
- If you were not successful, then continue reading.

Washing my hair was an amazing experience. I can't remember the lovely girl's name but she could have made me fall asleep with that scalp massage she gave me! I love going to a salon and getting my hair washed - it really relaxes me and is one of my favourite things about going to a salon! Is that weird to say?
After getting my hair washed, Rosie started on my hair. She talked me through everything she was doing and we had a lovely conversations in between about blogging, hair shows and I picked her brain on hair products and advice on hair care. She was super enthusiastic and I loved that she was very picky about how my head was positioned as funny as that sounds. Apologising for it, I told her not to because I was sure she just wanted to do a good job!
Overall, my experience at Brooks and Brooks was without fault! The staff were very friendly and my hair stylist did a great job at listening to what I wanted and advising me on what I should do. I felt really relaxed and trusted Rosie very easily. It's not often I can trust a hairdresser 100% since I have had a couple of horror stories with some, but she did a perfect job and I would definitely go back to get my hair cut there again. Even at 6/7pm the salon was still really busy, and if that isn't a sign of a great salon too - I don't know what is! I'd definitely recommend going here if you're looking for a salon in London ♥

Fabrizio Cavalca hired designer Ian Skellern and joined forces with Steinway & Sons to create Steinway & Sons Luxury Swiss Watches. The discreet Steinway lyre logo with its own clean space on the dial leaves no doubt as to the quality and pedigree of the watch. The black mirrors the lacquered black timber of a Steinway grand piano. Twelve strings are hand-soldered over a solid-gold soundboard, and while that provides a fairly complex visual feast, the fact that much of the dial remains uncluttered embodies the ensemble with a very cultivated look. The bespoke hand-crafted hands and unique tuning-fork second hand add another touch of class to this elegant creation by Ian Skellern.
The quartz movement of the ladies diamond set models allows for a smaller and thinner case and the 140 scintillating diamonds on its soundboard bring the watch alive with brilliant sparkles of light.
These elegant watches are affordable and make the perfect holiday gift, starting at $1,000.

Lorain County Community College Playwriting Contest (2016)
On Thursday, April 28, two award-winning Lorain County Community College student playwrights, their peers and members of their family gathered in the Cirigliano Stocker Arts Center Studio Theatre for a script-in-hand performance of their ten-minute plays.
Actors from the Great Lakes Theater school residency program performed The Lush Life of Abigail Aaron by Rhett Paukst and What's Wrong With Sugar Babe? by Bonnie Blair, which were the Second and First Place winners (respectively) for the 2016 Lorain County Community College Playwriting Contest.
This event was the culmination of Dr. Daniel Cleary's ENGL/THTR 168: Playwriting for Stage and Screen course, incorporating themes from William Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost.
The Lush Life of Abigail Aaron details those whose lives revolve around superstar performer Abigail Aaron are desperate to know why she had a public meltdown and has vanished from the scene. In What's Wrong With Sugar Babe? two strangers help each other through a critical moment in each other's romantic lives. Each piece reflected themes of joy and sorrow present in Shakespeare's timeless work.
GLT performers included Chelsea Cannon, Chenelle Bryant-Harris, Khaki Hermann, Tim Keo, Shaun O'Neill, Will Sanborn and Carrie Williams. The event was staged by David Hansen, GLT Education Outreach Associate.
The LCCC Playwriting Contest is part of GLT's Surround series of free events presented across Northeast Ohio. On Thursday, April 21, six ten-minute plays were read by student actors from Professor Dave Cotton's Acting for Theater classes, and evaluated by Northeast Ohio playwrights Christine Howey, Margaret Lynch, Eric Schmiedl, Michael Oatman and GLT's David Hansen.
Special thanks to Jeremy K. Benjamin, LCCC Director of Theatre and to Professor Dave Cotton.

This past weekend I visited with Don Kelly in Houston Texas. Don had recently purchased the TC-Helicon Live 2 for use with his saxophone and flute. The TC-Helicon is designed for voice harmony and effects however it works nicely on saxophone and flute. I was able to experiment with it for about 15 minutes. Don had already created a few setups that were tailored to sax and flute. The effects and harmony capabilities were awesome. The effects were even more awesome when listening in headphones. I definitely plan to add one of these to my wish list.
Have you used the TC-Helicon with saxophone or flute? If yes, please share your experiences.

Tangled Up in Blue: International Peace with Justice
This is the tenth post in a series on resolutions for General Convention 2015. See also the index of resolutions and the list of resources related to #GC78.
Today brings us to the Standing Commission on Anglican and International Peace with Justice Concerns. Their mandate, as I noted in 2012 is
To develop recommendations and strategies regarding common ministry opportunities and concerns with other Provinces of the Anglican Communion as to the work of this Church and the Anglican Communion on issues of international peace with justice and to make recommendations pertaining thereto to the Presiding Bishop, the Executive Council, and the General Convention.
Alas, they have missed the boat once again, it seems. From their report here, we don't seem to get any concrete recommendations or broad strategies. Instead, we have a set of resolutions several of which do not pass muster according to my principle on political resolutions. Rather than belabor the point, let's get right to the resolutions.
A047: Address Moral and Spiritual Injury in Context of Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress. Full text. Likely vote: NO, but I could be persuaded otherwise.
This resolution asks the Episcopal Church to care for people who have experienced various kinds of trauma related to war, terrorism, natural disaster, and so on. It also calls on the creation of a consortium among several groups, "the Office of Global Partnerships; the Office of the Bishop Suffragan for the Armed Forces and Federal Ministries; the Office of Diversity, Social, and Environmental Ministries; and Episcopal Migration Ministries." The resolution encourages that consortium to create and share resources with other Anglican Communion partners around the globe.
I'm fine with the work, but I don't think General Convention needs to act in order for these offices to work together. Surely our church is not so siloed that these entities cannot cooperate without a General Convention mandate? Also, on a technical note, I'm unclear what meaning a "consortium" might have, because this group is required to issue reports to Executive Council. Who chairs it? To whom is it accountable? Who decides which people will be on the consortium? If the COO is appointing folks, which is how I'd expect it to work, then surely he doesn't need 1,000 deputies and bishops telling him how to do his job.
So I'm sympathetic to the work, but unconvinced that General Convention needs to get involved here. Especially in the first resolve, when Episcopalians are told to give pastoral care to victims of trauma. We already do that, right? Moreover, the requested budget of $20,000 won't go very far in the creation of resources, apart from the resources that any of these offices could already create. If someone can show me why it's important for GC to act, then I'd vote for this good work.
A048: Confront the Challenges and Impacts of Robotic and Cyberwarfare. Full text. Likely vote: NO.
All four resolves are out of the question for me. In the first, General Convention "bear[s] witness to the moral challenges to the Just War tradition and…cyberwarfare." The second has us "express concern" for drones and computer warfare. The third asks us to "articulate support" for alternatives to targeted killings, etc. The final resolve asks an unspecified committee to make a report to the next General Convention on all of the above. This is a whole resolution filled with vague generalities, sentiment, and opinions on topics for which we have no expertise.
Also, setting aside the fact that the Pentagon isn't going to care what we think, others are already studying Just War theory and computer warfare. You can buy books on this from Amazon right now. Lastly, I'm pretty sure we shouldn't be passing resolutions about the "tactical uses of social media" when a whole bunch of our own churches can't be bothered to have a Facebook page. Where's our street cred here?
Computer warfare is bad. All warfare is bad. But this resolution is pure slacktivism, with a strong dose of irony given our church's grasp of technology and social media. No thanks, I won't be voting for this one.
A049: Make Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women a Focus of Foreign and Church Aid. Full text. Likely vote: NO.
This resolution doesn't get my vote on simple grounds that it "commends" things without saying a thing about what the Episcopal Church, Episcopalians, or General Convention bishops/deputies might do. I simply won't vote for resolutions that express feel-good ideas and tell others what to do.
But there is a more insidious side of this, if passed. This resolution says that foreign aid from the United States (where is the concern for foreign aid by the other 16 nations of our church?) should give priority (and there's no qualifying language, so this is top priority) to gender equality and women's empowerment. Of course, I'm wholly supportive of gender equality and women's empowerment. Here's the thing. Before ordination, I worked for an NGO that does a lot of international human development work, funded by or in partnership with USAID, various UN agencies, other governmental organizations, and even private foundations. I can tell you that every one of those groups already cares a lot about these issues. Sometimes, however, there are projects (infrastructure or even human development) which might not bear on this topic directly. Should we cut off all projects that do not meet this new top priority? Have the authors of this resolution spent time with NGOs and funding agencies? This is another instance of an ineffectual response to what is a real problem. But in this case, we are expressing an opinion in an area in which we are simply not competent to speak. No, I am not supporting gender inequality or women's oppression; quite the opposite. Instead, I'm saying if we're going to do something, then let's do something. This is not it.
A050: Adopt and Implement Charter for Safety. Full text. Likely vote: YES, if amended.
The Anglican Consultative Council approved a resolution in 2012 calling upon Anglicans around the world to have safe churches and promulgating a "Charter for Safety of People Within the Churches of the Anglican Communion." This resolution encourages this charter (see link) to be the basis of our safe church policies in all dioceses. So far so good.
The resolution goes on to ask Executive Council to monitor which dioceses do and do not get this done. Monitoring compliance is a great idea, but the 46-member Executive Council is not a good place to do that. Give it to a subcommittee or a staff member. Also, the resolution asks for "culturally appropriate materials for use in the Spanish-speaking dioceses of TEC." Great idea, but please do not forget about all our other dioceses who speak neither English nor Spanish, especially Haiti. I might let this slide ordinarily, but shouldn't our Standing Commission on International Yada-Yada know about the whole Episcopal Church, and how we have dioceses that speak plenty of different languages? Better to leave this level of detail out of the resolution and trust our staff to make sure implementation includes the whole church.
A051: Support LGBT African Advocacy. Full text. Likely vote: NO.
The idea behind this resolution is commendable, but it would be counter productive if adopted, I think. This calls for us to build relationships with scholars and others in Africa who are working for LGBT rights and to support efforts of African Anglicans who are working to change their own governments' policies. The final resolution is one I could fully support, calling for a group "to compile for church-wide reference and use a listing of information and resources developed by African Anglican leaders and organizations working to curb anti-gay violence, discrimination, and marginalization."
Here's why I cannot vote for this. As it stands, those who would tear apart our beloved Anglican Communion say that the US is sending people to Africa only to promote an agenda of LGBT rights. This resolution would serve to confirm that fear. Instead, I think we should simply build relationships based on our common life in Jesus Christ with our sister and brother Anglicans. Conversations on LGBT issues, and many other issues, will be a natural fruit of this work. Creating an agenda for our conversations could make our relationships inauthentic.
Also, this resolution asks us to support Anglicans in other provinces of the Communion in their own national advocacy work. Imagine the reverse. What of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) started working with Episcopalians to influence our national political agenda? We would probably cry foul and say that our province should remain autonomous, without "outside interference." Well, guess what, friends. Not everyone thinks that American can swoop in with all the answers and save the day. In fact, this resolution smacks of the worst kind of colonialism. Let's not tell others what to do in their countries. Let's form deep, sincere relationships built on Jesus Christ as the cornerstone. The Holy Spirit will do the rest, in their hearts and in ours. I believe that our Anglican Communion relationships have already made a positive difference with regard to LGBT issues overseas and will continue to do so. I also believe our Anglican Communion relationships have made a difference in all kinds of ways for the Episcopal Church. Let's continue our relationships, and let's continue to trust the Holy Spirit.
A052: Call for Ubuntu within The Episcopal Church Regarding Policy Toward Palestine and Israel. Full text. Likely vote: YES, if amended.
This resolution calls for prayerful study and engagement on issues of peace and justice in Palestine and Israel. That's exactly where we need to be as individuals, as a nation, and as a church on this issue, which is vastly more complicated than what we sometimes hear. Our church has no business taking sides in a way that creates heroes and villains, but we do have business engaging and forming relationships and urging peace.
I would like to see two things. First, the resolution asks a bunch of staff to work together on this issue. Again, as I said before, General Convention doesn't need to tell staff to work together. Let's create a defined task force on this issue, with staff involvement, and issue a report for next General Convention. There would be nothing precluding such a group from issuing interim reports or letters to the church.
Second, let's amend this to call us to prayer. Let us all pray for the peace of Jerusalem. That's perhaps the most useful and important thing we could do to change our own hearts and the hearts of others.
Personal note: I had the privilege of going on a pilgrimage with Christians for Fair Witness on the Middle East last year. With a few other Episcopal priests, bishops, and a lay person, we spent time with Palestinians and Israelis with a variety of perspectives and experiences. We visited the Palestinian Stock Exchange, a refugee camp, and talked with Palestinian activists. We visited Israeli military officials, journalists, and religious leaders. This trip broke open my heart and my mind. I won't claim to understand the conflict now, but I understand more about it. Mostly, I understand how unhelpful it is to choose sides in a take-no-prisoners manner, how helpful it is to engage, and how necessary it is to pray.
A053: Strengthen Relationship with Diocese of Cuba. Full text. Likely vote: YES.
This one's quite long, but it calls for engagement and collaboration between our own Episcopal Church and the church in Cuba. There is no call for a specific outcome, either in secular political or in church governance terms, which is perfect. I think ongoing mutual discernment will be necessary as our relationship evolves. Again, I do wish there was a call for prayer for Cuba, its church, and its people.

The announcement came last night that GREE, Japan's biggest social networking service paid $104 million to buy OpenFeint, a social gaming platform that lets users add friends, view friends' activities, and participate in forums and chats. Yoshikazu Tanaka is GREE's founder and CEO.
News outlets are reporting that OpenFeint's own CEO, Jason Citron will not lose his leadership position. Also, "his team will remain in place." The Wall Street Journal says there will be no "merging" of services, instead, the two entities will collaborate through application sharing and the joint development of projects. Perhaps more to the point, they're saying that by coming together they hope two heads will, indeed, be better than one.
OpenFeint is based in Burlingame, CA and GREE International recently opened an office in San Francisco. In a released statement, Yoshikazu Tanaka said concerning the deal: "We are socializing the next evolution of games and, as the best-in-class US-based mobile social network, OpenFeint is the ideal partner for us to offer the best mobile social games to the largest global audience."
Finally, it's also reported that through the deal, GREE will speed along OpenFeint's outstanding growth and also get its outstanding securities. The two companies are envisioning the development of a "global ecosystem" for social gaming and networking.

Ryan Furtwangler is a principal and senior financial advisor in the Stuart, Florida, offices of HBKS®. He began his career in 2002 with a regional brokerage firm in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, then transferred to Edward D. Jones where he was an advisor and ultimately managed its Harborcreek office. During his tenure there, he became aware for the need for comprehensive financial planning and asset allocation, which led him to move his practice to HBKS® in 2005.
Ryan enjoys working with the complexities relating to multi-generational wealth and estate planning, as well as income replacement strategies for people transitioning into retirement. He believes that to preserve and grow wealth it is necessary to stay focused on the client's total financial picture and how all aspects of their finances interconnect. Ryan has worked with the Stuart team and firm leadership since 2005 working as a financial advisor, senior financial advisor and now as a partner in the firm. Ryan is also a key member of two of the firms steering committees – The Investment Policy Committee and the Insurance Committee.
Ryan earned his Bachelor of Science Degree (Cum Laude) in Finance with a concentration in Investment Analysis & Economics from the University of Pittsburgh. He also completed coursework in Aerospace Engineering at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) and holds Life, Annuity and Health Insurance licenses.
Ryan is a member of the Financial Planning Association (FPA), Amara Shriners and alumni of the Martin County Leadership Program. He also sits on the board of the Martin Health Advisory Board, Martin County Estate Planning Council and Molly's House. He is also the chairman of the Frances Langford Grant's committee for the Martin County Community Foundation. Ryan is also a past board member of the Treasure Coast Symphony and Martin's Crossing Home Owners Association.
Why have you stayed at HBKS® as long as you have?
It's our culture. Our industry, in my opinion, is littered with well-meaning advisors, brokers, trust officers, insurance agents and others who are primarily salespeople. They can fall victim to promoting their firm's products or believing they alone have all the answers. Our culture is one that embraces various opinions and comes up with a unified, well-researched strategy for each client. This approach applies, whether it's portfolio design, wealth and retirement planning, taxes, liquidity events or something as simple as buying or leasing a car. Our independence gives us so many advantages over our peers, all to the benefit of our clients. This also attracts great thinkers to the firm, each with their own areas of expertise. Our clients might see one or two of us, but they get a team covering almost every financial aspect of their lives. That is unique in today's world of flash and dash.
What is the most fulfilling aspect about your work?
I don't know that there is just one thing. When I was young I used to work construction in the summers. It was a brutal, dirty, hot job, but I did it for years. I did it partly because the money was great, but really it was because nothing was more satisfying than thinking through a series of problems, deploying a plan and seeing a final product put a smile on someone's face.
I still like to build things – I just do it now with a box of financial tools rather than hammer and nails. The best part is that the building is never finished and no two clients are the same. My ability to combine the resources of our firm with my own knowledge and that of our team to design an ever-evolving plan is incredibly fulfilling. It's so satisfying knowing that we are helping our clients achieve their goals and aspirations, which ultimately means helping with their happiness and protecting their life's work.
What would you look for in a wealth manager?
A few things I think are most important:
- Independence – Is the practitioner independent? Are there conflicts of interest, like being compensated for selling their own products? A good test is to look at who holds the portfolio. If the statements are issued by the same organization that sold you investment products, odds are they aren't unbiased. They should also be a fiduciary, so ask if all your money will be handled as a fiduciary.
- Expertise – Are they qualified to solve problems, both as part of overseeing a portfolio and with your overall finances? I would want a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) and a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) on my team, and ideally, a Certified Financial Analyst (CFA) working in the background.
- Team – Some providers are solo practitioners. I would be looking for a team – that is, a team that collaborates, not just a collection of solo practitioners sharing clients and a roof.
- Size matters – Generally I would want a firm that is large enough to have deep resources and talent, but small enough provide an intimate client experience.
- Fee-based – While commissions do serve a purpose in limited places (such as term life insurance), generally the practitioner should charge a fee as opposed to commissions. This structure reduces the conflicts of interest inherent in the commission world.
- Comprehensive – Is the advisor comprehensive? All parts of your finances are interconnected, so in addition to managing your investments, your advisor should know taxes; retirement and estate planning; life, disability and long-term care insurance; and even philanthropy. You also want someone who "gets" your big picture, so they can help you make your future what you want it to be.
- Family – Do you feel like they can be part of your family? A successful relationship means you're with them for life, so the answer should be "yes." It's not more important than the other issues, but it's a critical ingredient in the recipe.
"Our culture is one that embraces various opinions and comes up with a unified, well-researched strategy for each client."

or an endorsement. Those who have earned a master's degree in another area may either
apply for a second master's degree or a non-degree licensure in early childhood special
Graduates of the program will earn either a master's degree and/or an Early Childhood Special Education Specialist Endorsement. Additionally they may earn an Early Childhood Endorsement, if they do not already have a license in early childhood education.

Summer Camp
Since Scouting's genesis, Summer Camp has been a staple; the most anticipated Scout event of the year. For Scouts, summer camp is a rite of passage, a week-long world of adventure with friends. For Leaders and parents this is an opportunity to watch their sons hone critical life skills, experience life outdoors, practice leadership and teamwork and create memories that will last a lifetime. We take the responsibility to deliver this promise seriously!
At Lost Bayou we offer this experience not just to the traditional Scout troop, but also to the individual Scout who can only participate a day or partial week as well as to the troop traveling through our great region who wants to experience Lost Bayou for a brief stay or a non traditional week schedule. Do you need your week to start early? Run late? We adapt and cater to your Scouting needs.
At Lost Bayou our Scout Staff strives to allow each Scout and Scouter to:
- Have a safe and fun camping experience
- Gain knowledge and skill through our merit badge classes
- Grow as young men through the development of Scouting values and the exercise of Scouting Spirit.
- Leave with new wonderful memories and the influence of positive role models.
- Develop an appreciation for this unique ecosystem and recognize our responsibility for it's care and preservation.
Our unique Vertical Merit Badge Course Schedule allows us to offer Scout and professionals interaction for a full day of concentrated focus on the area of a local volunteer's career specialties. These interests, hobbies and job skills of our volunteer instructors from all around the Acadiana region may one day become career skills for our growing Scouts. We want that start to be nurtured here in Scouting.
At Lost Bayou we embraced our area's Cajun heritage and have decided to share it with everyone who comes to visit! Authentic food, music and historical culture and an appreciation for the unique ecosystem that is Acadiana are all here for Scouts, leaders and parents to experience.
To ensure your Troop's experience is the best it can be, our staff has added offerings for both the individual Scout as well as the entire troop. Daily Freetime offers a sampling of camp activities, Lagniappe merit badges offered by collegiate staff, Scout to Scout leadership opportunities, Eagles' Edge support for those gearing up for the flight to Eagle rank.

Pancha Tanmatra
Definition - What does Pancha Tanmatra mean?
Pancha tanmatra are the five perceptions or subtle elements that are the objects of the five senses. The term comes from the Sanskrit, pancha, meaning "five"; tan, meaning "subtle"; and matra, meaning "elements." The pancha tanmatra are: rupa (form), gandha (smell), sparsa (touch), rasa (taste) and sabda (sound).
They are related to the five cognitive sense organs called pancha jnanendriya: caksu (eyes), ghrana (nose), tvak (skin), rasana (tongue) and srotra (ear). Both the pancha tanmatra and the jnanendriya are among the 36 tattvas, or aspects of nature, in Saivism.
Yogapedia explains Pancha Tanmatra
The pancha tanmatra comprise the information through which we sense or experience the external world. Another translation of tanmatra is "mother of matter," meaning that the pancha tanmatra represents the mother energy of the world.
The pancha tanmatra also combine to produce the gross elements that comprise the universe:
- Earth element from all five tanmatra
- Water element from sound, touch, sight and taste
- Fire element from sound, touch and sight
- Air element from sound and touch
- Ether element from sound.

State Failure and Political Instability: The Impact of Educational Attainment in Africa
Reviewed by Sarah Schutz
March 23, 2015
Through a quantitative analysis, Jesse Neugarten evaluates the role that educational attainment has on political instability and the rate of state failure across the African continent. Specifically, he looks at education on secondary and tertiary levels obtained during the early independence years (1950-1965) and its potential effects on political instability during the later period (1966-2014). He performs statistical analysis using each as his independent variable. Political instability, his dependent variable, is determined based on the Political Instability Index. In his analysis, he chooses to control for economic development, ethnicity, health, and colonial heritage in the early independence period. Through an ordinary-least squares regression analysis, he concludes that higher educational on the secondary level between 1950 and 1965 decreases political instability and the probability that a nation state will fail between 1966 and 2014.
Interestingly, Neugarten concludes levels of tertiary education have the opposite effect. He finds levels of political instability across Africa increased with during the later period. He also notes that the demonstrated correlation of tertiary education and political instability is much larger than that between instability and secondary education. He associates this seemingly counterintuitive effect with the rise of the social elite and resulting class dynamics during the independence period. As more privileged black elites gained power, they strove to secure their access to levels of higher education for their children. In turn, the rest of society is left with limited or no educational access. Overtime, this educational inequality leads to strife between the two social classes, resulting in destabilization.
Overall, Neugarten concludes that more analysis must be done to evaluate how state failure, education, and inequality impact the developing world. Specifically he points to the necessity of measuring the quality of human capital rather that simply looking at educational attainment. This is a valid concern among developing economists, as skills learned in school might not be applicable in the job market.

Today I want to share my first storage-related post! For this storage idea I'm using a saucer from a tea cup and a sugar bowl. But a tea cup and saucer would look really adorable.
I wasn't using these so they were just gathering dust! Which I thought was a shame!
So here's what I did to make use of them, as I didn't want to part with them!

Green Tip: Reusing an item saves it from going into the landfill and polluting the environment. Its also purse-friendly because you already own the item so you aren't going out and buying another!
Let me know of other creative ways in which you've recycled something for storage or something else!

- "The seed is strong."
- ―Jon Arryn's last words.
Lord Jon Arryn was the Lord of the Eyrie, Lord Paramount of the Vale, Warden of the East, and the head of House Arryn. He served as the first Hand of the King to Robert Baratheon until he died of mysterious circumstances.
Jon Arryn was the Lord of the Eyrie and the head of House Arryn, one of the Great Houses of Westeros. Jon was the Warden of the East and Defender of the Vale. He was a respected nobleman and both Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon were fostered by him during their adolescence.[1] The Mad King condoned the alleged kidnapping of Eddard's sister, Lyanna, who was also Robert's betrothed, and demanded that Eddard and Robert, still in the Vale, be turned over to the King's justice. Instead, Lord Arryn rebelled, calling his banners to war. House Stark and House Baratheon followed suit. The rebels forged an alliance with House Tully through marriage, with Eddard married to Catelyn Tully and the then-elderly Jon to the young Lysa Tully.[1][2]After the rebel victory in the war, Robert became King and appointed Jon as his Hand. Jon served the realm well for many years as Hand of the King. Indeed, Jon Arryn was essentially the man really holding the realm together for the next seventeen years, while Robert drank, ate and whored his way through his reign.
Jon Arryn died in King's Landing immediately prior to the events of the series, sparking King Robert's search for a replacement. Jon is survived by his wife Lysa and their six-year-old son, Robin Arryn.[2] Near the end of his life, Jon was investigating the legitimacy of the children of Queen Consort, Cersei Lannister. He later died from unknown, and unexplained, causes just after discovering that the children were secretly not the biological children of Robert Baratheon.
His dying words were to Robert Baratheon, "The seed is strong."
Season 1
Jon Arryn's body is laid out in state in the throne room of the Red Keep in King's Landing. Ser Jaime Lannister and Queen Cersei discuss Jon's attempts to learn the truth about their incestuous relationship and his failure to do so. Later, news of Jon's death reaches Eddard Stark at Winterfell, who is shocked and upset as he considered Jon to be a second father to him. Catelyn then receives a letter from Lysa accusing House Lannister for murdering Jon.[2]
When Eddard Stark attends his first Small Council meeting in King's Landing, he is shocked to learn that the realm is six million Gold Dragons in debt, and refuses to believe that Jon Arryn would let this happen. Grand Maester Pycelle and Renly Baratheon explain to Lord Stark that while Jon gave wise and prudent advice, King Robert did not always follow it.[3]
Arryn had asked Pycelle for The Lineages and Histories of the Great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms, a book detailing genealogies of the nobility, which notes the heredity preponderance for black hair in House Baratheon.[4]
Eddard Stark is told that Arryn visited with an armorer, Tobho Mott, several times before his death and also talked with his apprentice Gendry, inquiring about his mother. Stark immediately realizes upon meeting with Gendry that he is King Robert's bastard son.[4] On the day he died, Arryn met with Mhaegen, a prostitute at Lord Petyr Baelish's brothel. She showed him her infant daughter, Barra, who was fathered by King Robert Baratheon.[5]
Varys privately warns Eddard that he thinks Jon Arryn was murdered by an unknown party for asking too many questions, using a rare and untraceable poison known as the Tears of Lys.[5]
Season 2
Under forceful interrogation by Tyrion Lannister, Grand Maester Pycelle confesses that he knew that Jon Arryn had unearthed the truth upon seeing Robert's bastard children that Queen Cersei's three children were not conceived by Robert, but by her twin brother Jaime Lannister. Pycelle states that Jon Arryn intended to act and reveal his discovery to King Robert. When Tyrion accuses Pycelle of having Jon poisoned to keep the truth from getting out, he angrily denies that he killed him. Tyrion then points out that Pycelle must have realized that someone had poisoned Arryn (and he wasn't simply sick), but he let him succumb anyway, so he has Pycelle thrown into the Black Cells.[6]
Season 4
After being reunited with Petyr Baelish, Lysa obsessively declares her love for him and the things she has done to demonstrate it, including lacing Jon's wine with Tears of Lys and then sending a letter to Catelyn accusing House Lannister of the assassination.[7]
Season 7
Eventually, Petyr is forced to answer for his many crimes, including his role in the Assassination of Jon Arryn, when Sansa Stark unexpectedly puts him on trial. Sansa publicly accuses Petyr of persuading Lysa (whom Petyr also murdered) to poison Jon with Tears of Lys and write a letter to her sister Catelyn, falsely accusing the Lannisters of killing her husband, igniting the conflict between both great houses. Sansa has her sister Arya Stark slit his throat, exacting justice for Jon.[8]

- ―Lysa Arryn to Petyr Baelish, admitting her role in the death of Jon.
Behind the scenes
Originally it was intended that Jon Arryn's death in King's Landing would open the series, following the depiction of the book's prologue, and the event would be discussed by Grand Maester Pycelle and Queen Cersei Lannister in a new scene not in the books. This scene was not filmed for the pilot episode in favor of retaining the opening of the novel. Jon Arryn was played in these scenes by John Standing.
In a November 2015 interview, Standing described the death scene he filmed: Jon Arryn is feverish and bedridden (from being poisoned), but with a last desperate burst of strength he drags himself across the floor from his bed to a writing desk, and from the ground he reaches for the pen and ink on it. As he pulls it down his strength fails him, however, and he ends up spilling the ink pot all over himself. In his last seconds of life he feebly attempts to move his hand to write something with the pen - only for Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) to stamp on his fingers to stop him, at which he dies from the poison. Standing said that filming was difficult because he found out the night before that his younger brother had died (though filming had been scheduled for weeks in advance).[9]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Jon Arryn is a great lord, wise counselor, and canny tactician. He is loved as a second father by both Eddard and Robert, and commanded great respect in the Vale of Arryn. His nephew and heir Elbert Arryn was among Brandon Stark's companions who were imprisoned and killed by the Mad King, sparking Jon Arryn's decision to join the rebellion.
Jon Arryn's first wife, Lady Jeyne Royce, died in childbirth, and their daughter was stillborn. His second wife, Rowena, died without issue. Lysa Tully, some forty years his junior, became his third wife as part of an alliance with Lord Hoster Tully of Riverrun. The marriage was loveless and produced only one surviving child, the sickly Robert.
In the books, Eddard Stark discovered that Arryn and Stannis Baratheon inquired together about Cersei's children and Robert's bastards. In fact it was Stannis who initiated the investigation, while in the TV series he is not mentioned at all in respect of Arryn's actions prior to his death – this was likely changed so that TV-first viewers weren't confused about the actions of yet another unseen character.
When Tyrion confronts Pycelle with his guards, Pycelle admits that Jon Arryn was being treated by maester Colemon, who gave him purges to get the poison out; that treatment might have cured Arryn. Pycelle, aware that Arryn knew the secret of Cersei's incest, sent the other maester away and just gave Arryn painkillers to ease his passing. In the TV series the emphasis is slightly different: Pycelle presents it as that he simply didn't intervene when he realized Lord Arryn was poisoned, though Tyrion points out that even his inaction when he could have saved Lord Arryn makes him an accomplice to the murder. In the TV series, Tyrion just vaguely asserts that Pycelle must have "made sure he succumbed", but in the book version he goes slightly beyond inaction, deliberately dismissing a maester who might have saved him.
Even in the books, Pycelle didn't know who actually poisoned Jon Arryn, but it was convenient for Pycelle that someone else poisoned him before he had to deal with it.
In the book, Lysa blurts out the whole truth about Arryn's death while she is dragging Sansa Stark to the Moon Door. Littlefinger tries in vain to hush Lysa, feeling uncomfortable that she reveals this secret in the presence of Sansa and Marillion.
Lysa's reason for poisoning Jon is actually a little less obsessive, but just as selfish: he planned on having their son sent to Dragonstone to be fostered by Stannis Baratheon, in keeping with accepted tradition for noble boys in the Seven Kingdoms and the fact that Stannis was the only one – aside from Ned – he could trust. This didn't matter at all to Lysa of course, as she could not bear the thought of being separated from her son.
Littlefinger apparently wanted Arryn dead to trick the Starks and Lannisters into fighting each other (aided by the letter he had Lysa write to Catelyn), and also so he could later marry Lysa and take control of the Vale. Thus while the situation was the same in the books, Lysa's motivation and Pycelle's role were a little more complicated.

Three children were sent to the hospital after a cannon caused an explosion at a Civil War re-enactment event in Orem, Utah. Two of the three children were engulfed in flames when the blast occurred at the beginning of a parade, KUTV reports.
"When the flames went up in the air, these three children started crying. One little girl's clothes were on fire, we're told," witness Brittany Tait told the local station. "People were running with water to douse her."
When the cannon was fired, a spark landed on additional ammunition and triggered the explosion, according to a statement from Orem's Department of Public Safety. Authorities did not elaborate on the children's injuries but said their conditions were stable as they were taken to a hospital nearby.

Since 2012 The City of Omaha along with the help of, The Graffiti Consultants, of San Jose California, that created a comprehensive plan specifically designed for Omaha which can be viewed at Graffiti Blueprint to help address vandalism in a coordinated, citywide effort through prevention, intervention, and enforcement has had a 92% reduction in residual graffiti. It has been proven that public education and community involvement has a direct impact on reducing vandalism within a community.
Graffiti affects communities in so many different ways. Graffiti sends the signal that nobody cares, attracting other forms of crime and street delinquency to neighborhoods. Graffiti decreases a resident's feeling of safety. Neighborhoods with graffiti see a decrease in property values, loss of business growth and tourism, and reduced ridership on transit systems. Graffiti drains tax dollars. Funds that could be used for schools, roads, parks, and other community improvements, are used for graffiti clean-up. The City of Omaha Public Works Department budgets about $554,000 annually on the Graffiti Program. This does not include the dollars that area businesses have donated to the program or what local neighborhood associations spend on graffiti removal kits and supplies or what private property owners spend on damage, this figure could be well over $750,000 annually
The Mayor's Office, along with City Council and the Graffiti Abatement Staff made a commitment to make a difference in graffiti abatement citywide. We have created an Anti-Graffiti Collaborative Partnership (Graffiti Action Partners- GAP) with partners from the Mayor's office, City Council members, Omaha Police Gang Unit, Douglas County Attorneys, City Prosecutors, Parks and Recreation Staff, and Neighborhood Association Representatives, Douglas County Staff, Local Art Studios, surrounding Law Enforcement Agencies and Public Works Departments. The fight against graffiti is a top priority in the City of Omaha. We have made great strides to keep our city beautiful and prideful of its appearance. Our abatement staff works very hard day to day, but also know that it is not a battle that we can win on our own.
By joining forces with the County Attorney's Office, City Prosecutors and the Omaha/Douglas County Probation office will strengthen the prosecution process for individuals arrested for graffiti vandalism. Parents need to understand that they are accountable for their child's actions.
Young people need to understand the clear difference between legal forms of graffiti and graffiti vandalism. The difference is its placement! Art is placed with written permission; graffiti is vandalism because it is done without the written permission of the property owner.
The City cannot succeed in its mission to eradicate vandalism without the support and participation of its residents. Please join us by becoming a volunteer.
To Report Graffiti
Call the Mayor's Hotline (402) 444-5555 or use the City's Report an Issue.
