Description: Do you believe heaven really exists? Choo Thomas retells a stunning, personal story of how she saw the living Christ, visited Hell, and walked in Heaven. "On January 19, 1996, I woke up at 3:00 in the morning. My body was shaking...I turned my head on the pillow to look in the direction of the sound, and there, all aglow, was a figure dressed in white garments. IT WAS THE LORD..."
How could this be happening to me? I wondered...as I began to tremble...and to weep tears of love and joy. "My daughter...I am your Lord, and I want to talk to you. I am going to visit you many times before this work is done." "The impact of His voice, His words, His message hit me with a supernatural force..." Not once not twice but ten times that month, the Lord Jesus appeared by her bedside and spoke to her. Then the journey began....
Psalm 118:24 This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. (KJV)

For some time now, a message shared on Whatsapp warns against eating pineapple while drinking Coca-Cola.
The message in question cautions users that drinking Coca-Cola after they have eaten pineapple as dessert can kill them; that the mix of the two is lethal and, has been the cause of many deaths mistakenly believed as cases of poisoning.
Coming from Facebook where it made the buzz during the first quarter of 2016, this message has been revived by some blogs and some satirical news and entertainment websites like buzzdubuzz and buzz4net .
Example of a message of caution
It is a misinformation because first, there's no scientific research to prove its veracity, and also, apart from this warning, there are no other caution messages.
Some people, however, said that they have eaten pineapple and drunk Coca-Cola at the same time. This is the case of Gina Asong who is addicted to Coca-Cola Zéro and fruits. "I set my workspace at home. Every time I feel sleepy, I drink Coca Zero and eat fruits at the same time to keep myself fit. At times, I do eat pineapple on those occasions and, up till now, I have never felt anything, even a bellyache".
Moreover, there are popular cocktails in some parts of the world which include those two juices; the Kon-Tiki and the Lola for instance.

Police charge man for allegedly pointing fake handgun during Burlington road rage incident
A Halton Police crest is seen here in this file photo.
The Canadian Press
Published Saturday, December 7, 2019 2:15PM EST
BURLINGTON, Ont. -- Police say they've arrested a 41-year-old man after he allegedly brandished a fake handgun at a driver during a road rage incident.
Halton Regional Police say the incident happened Saturday morning in Burlington, Ont., when they received reports of a man waving a gun at a driver from his car.
They say the man reportedly lowered his window and then pointed the fake gun at a driver.
Investigators say they found the man a short time later and found a replica pistol.
They say the fake gun is legal to posses, but they're laying a weapons charge because the driver used it in a "flagrant manner."
Police say nobody was hurt in the incident.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 7, 2019.

Forwarded from CLIMLIST... Postdoctoral Scholar opportunity. California Drought and Central Valley Water Use. Host: Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA Deadline: Available immediately, applications will be received until filled. To apply or for more information: Julie Kalansky (<email@example.com>, 858-822-2147) California experiences high variability in climate on short (e.g. weeks to a few seasons) and longer (years to decades) time scales that has great influence on its surface and ground water resources. In the last two decades, California has experienced rather frequent dry conditions, and from 2012-2015 it suffered one of the driest four year spells in its instrumental history. Partly as a result of the impact of this drought, the state of California has passed historic legislation, the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), which aims at managing groundwater for the first time in California. The drought along with the recent legislation has accentuated the need for more timely data on the state's water use. A large portion of the state's water use is focused in the Central Valley. Claudia Faunt and colleagues from the USGS/California Water Science Center, developed the Central Valley Hydrological Model (CVHM). CVHM is an extensive, detailed three-dimensional (3D) numerical model of the integrated hydrologic system of the Central Valley (<http://ca.water.usgs.gov/projects/central-valley/central-valley-hydrologic-model.html>). The CVHM simultaneously accounts for changing water supply and demand across the landscape, and simulates surface water and groundwater flow across the entire Central Valley. Because pumping is generally not metered, CVHM calculates groundwater pumping as the remaining irrigation demand estimate after surface-water deliveries are taken into account. These surface-water deliveries are central to calculating pumping in CVHM, however, it often takes years to compile this delivery data. This time lag makes it difficult to make look at management options in a timely manner. The objective of this study will be to develop more real-time monthly estimates of groundwater pumping. This study will build on the CVHM and will be a collaborative effort between the USGS and CNAP (cnap.ucsd.edu). In addition to working with the CVHM, the post-doc will contribute to ongoing research to understand how climate variability and climate change affect snowpack, runoff, soil moisture and other water resource measures over the California region. The postdoc will work with the CNAP team and USGS colleagues to obtain and develop data that will be used to model and evaluate ground water and surface water modeling in the Central Valley and greater California region. The postdoc will apply knowledge relating to the regional climate and its variability, the use and access of observations, the status of monitoring, and hydrologic modeling of the ground water and surface water systems. The postdoc will also organize data sets, and determine statistical and/or categorizations necessary to update the CVHM. The candidate must have a familiarity with climate variability and the physical landscape and the conjunctive use of surface and groundwater. The successful candidate will work closely with scientists working in the region on both climatic and conjunctive water-use issues. The position is partially supported by the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS). Strong organizational and computational skills are required, as well as the ability to run numerical simulations. In addition, the candidate must have strong communications skills, including writing scientific journal articles, reports, briefs for the public and legislators as well as ability to communicate with a range of people from experts in the field to people with little hydrological knowledge. Candidates must have a completed doctoral degree in the field of climate, hydrology or related physical science and have 0-2 years of postdoc experience. Further information can be obtained from Dr. Julie Kalansky (<firstname.lastname@example.com>, 858-822-2147). Applications must include a cover letter, c.v., and three references. Please direct these to Dr. Kalansky via email.

text: Prayer for September 26: Please pray with me. God who is ever the same, yet always changing, come to us. We desperately want to maintain the status quo – to give us the appearance that we are in control. Except we aren't. We are foolish to believe that we can control things. Open our hearts and minds to know this truth so we don't suffer as a result. Open our arms to embrace the constant change of life. Open us to embrace you. If we are not in control, then we need you Lord. We fool ourselves when we think we can control things – we also brush you aside when we think we are in control. Forgive us. Reorient us towards you. Amen.

The image above shows the interior of the sanctuary at First Baptist Church (Burrard & Nelson). However, close inspection reveals differences from today's sanctuary. In fact, this photo shows the sanctuary before the 1931 fire which all but destroyed that part of the Church. (For more about the fire, see the conclusion of this post).
The camera is facing the Nelson Street entry to the sanctuary (taken probably from the podium on which the preacher and choir typically stand).
There are at least three markers that speak to differences between the older space and the new one created for FBC by Dominion Construction in 1931: (1) The lack of clear demarcation of a foyer/narthex from the sanctuary. Today, there is a wall of wood and glass, with doors into the sanctuary which may be closed during services. There is no sign of a wall in the image above. There appear to be horizontal wooden slats that rise approximately to waist height, but that's it; the view of the stairs leading to the balcony on either side of the Nelson St. doors is unobstructed (and I imagine it would have been more difficult to disguise the noise of one's late arrival to a service — even if the wooden stairs were carpeted!). The principal motive for this very open design feature was likely to let in as much natural light as possible in the days before inexpensive and easily accessible electricity.
(2) The horseshoe-shaped balcony (still present today) is ringed with what appears to be much more porous construction than we have in the post-fire rebuild (see image below). The pre-fire balcony wall appears to have consisted of a series of dowels within a wooden frame as contrasted with the, no-doubt safer (especially for young ones) but less open, balcony wall of today.
(3) Different light fixtures. The pre-fire fixtures visible above seemed to include a much greater number of bulbs – twelve in each visible fixture – as compared with the five present on comparable fixtures today. It isn't clear from the photo how many fixtures were in the original sanctuary, but it's likely that there were fewer than today. It also isn't clear whether or not there were single-bulbed fixtures over each balcony gallery, as we have today.
Another feature which I believe was significantly different between the two sanctuaries, but which isn't visible in the pre-fire image, is the ceiling-work. The original ceiling, installed when the building was constructed in 1910-11 was, I believe, similar in appearance (at least to a layman, like me) to the ceiling in Christ Church Cathedral (Burrard & Georgia) – i.e., a good deal of exposed wooden beam-work. The ceiling in the later sanctuary consists of a series of tiles (probably intended to improve acoustical quality).
Fire Destroys Sanctuary in '31
In FBC's official history, author and FBC member Les Cummings described the fire:
In the early morning hours of February 10, 1931, the fire swept through our church. The blaze was one of the most spectacular in the history of the downtown district, the flames shooting through the slate roof and attracting hundreds of early morning workers. Fire Chief C W. Thompson said the blaze started directly behind the organ. When he realized that the main sanctuary was doomed, he concentrated the firefighters' efforts on saving the tower housing the chimes, and the Sunday School [Pinder Hall]. They stood alone, while the church itself became a mass of ruins. (Our First Century, Leslie J. Cummings, 1987 (Updated 2002), 42).
What caused the fire, to the best of my knowledge, was never determined.

It's reported that on Sunday Ms Akello, a resident Omatakojo village, Kibale Town Council, Pallisa told Daily Monitor that they were leaving the hospital upon being discharged after giving birth at the hospital.
The mother, Ms Akello with her sister-in-law, said that while at the hospital's main gate, they met a cunning woman who tricked them and picked the baby from them and then immediately boarded on a motorcycle and fled.
"I thought that the cunning woman only wanted to have a look at the baby as its common after one has given birth but unfortunately she had hidden motives to disappear with my child," the mother said in tears.
On-lookers who responded to the cries of the woman nearly beat her up for being negligent.
In defense, she said that this was her first birth and she didn't know the woman will disappear with her baby.
She was only saved by the hospital security guards who alerted police who came and rescued her. Too sad!

American bingo or bingo for 75 balls (75-ball bingo) – this is the most broad game in the bingo online. Customarily, the game for 75 bingo balls is played in the U.S. also South America. In the American bingo 75 balls are included, though in the UK bingo or bingo for 90 balls, these 90 balls are included in a game. At sure times, which is expressed on the game presentation, begins another game. Cards for 75 balls: Bingo for 75 balls is played with cards, each one containing 24 numbers from 1 to 75. Bingo card – this is matrix of quantities of 25 squares: five squares by five squares (5×5). Every segment of squares is demonstrated by the letters B-I-N-G-O. Squares of each one card are loaded with an irregular determination of numbers from 1 to 75: B segment – numbers from 1 to 15; I section – numbers from 16 to 30; N segment – numbers from 31 to 45 + the square named "free" (free space) or "wild"; G segment – numbers from 46 to 60; O segment – numbers from 61 to 75.
Free square is consequently highlighted and is included as a real cell a winning example of bingo. In online bingo, each one card has a novel ID code. Tests of 75 balls: blend and species. Each one game for 75 balls has its own particular example bingo – a winning setup of the shaded squares in the card. Tagged arrangement in the game will win in this game bingo. Ordinarily, an example bingo is show at the highest point of the screen. In bingo online there are more than 5000 mixes of the specimen. Essential examples for 75 balls: a solitary line over; single line down; slanting line; four corners.

The player must check a winning card among the cards with precisely this example. In a moving specimen setup of shaded squares can be changed for a few times inside a solitary game.
Marking of any of the rising arrangements qualifies a winning card. Case in point, if there is a moving specimen – a flat line, you can assert bingo when you have any of the arrangement in any of the cards that are utilized as a part of the game. The objective of bingo games for 75 balls: The motivation behind each one game with 75 balls is as per the following: called amid the game balls with arbitrary numbers from 1 to 75 ought to match with the numbers on the card of the player and ought to relate to the specimen bingo for this bingo game. The winning mix of bingo example may fall in one or more cards in the game.

Throughout our lives we were always told brushing morning and night is necessary and important. This is because of tooth decay. Tooth decay, also known as dental decay, is a disease that affects large numbers of the world's population. Scary isn't it? So how does dental decay actually occur?
Dental decay happens mainly due to the plaque that forms as a result of the combined effects of food, saliva, and bacteria. When these particles accumulate, plaque forms around the teeth. The specific bacteria found in plaque produces organic acids that break down the enamel, causing holes in the tooth. These holes are better known as cavities. Plaque will start to enter the tooth through the cavity making it almost impossible to remove the plaque by brushing. This causes your dental decay to worsen and may have you experiencing toothaches.
Symptoms of dental decay may be missed. Identifying what is decay versus what is tooth simply sensitivity causes a lot of people to miss the signs. Once the decay progresses to the inner shell of the tooth, the enamel will have spots that become very white. When dental decay goes deeper, it hits the nerves. This will cause severe sensitivity when doing simple tasks, like eating and drinking.
Children and teenagers below the age of 20 are more prone to dental decay as they are the people who get a high intake of sugar in their diet. If you are determined in preventing dental decay, there are certain steps that could be exercised. Poor oral hygiene means your teeth are more susceptible to being infected. Anyone from young to old can carry out the basics of oral hygiene. These include brushing teeth twice a day, either in morning and night or soon after meals. Flossing of teeth could be done every other day. Additionally, one could go for regular dental check-ups.
A patient who is at a high risk of developing dental decay can apply a topical fluoride on the tooth surface to prevent the condition. Dental sealants are usually done on children. It prevents the formation of plaque on the teeth.

University of Melbourne partners with Anne Deveson Research Centre
The University of Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences is pleased to announce a new research partnership with the Anne Deveson Research Centre (ADRC), a SANE Australia initiative.
The partnership will enable the ADRC's flagship research project, the National Stigma Report Card.
The five-year study will be led by ADRC Director and SANE acting chief executive Dr Michelle Blanchard and Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences' lecturer Dr Christopher Groot.
The study will survey 7 000 participants from across Australia. It will be the largest survey of its kind conducted in Australia to date and is expected to provide a baseline by which to assess stigma and discrimination over time.
Dr Groot said: "The National Stigma Report Card promises to be an incredibly significant project. Its grand scale, national reach, breadth of inquiry, and capacity for translation to effect meaningful and positive change for people with lived experience of complex mental illness are unparalleled in Australian stigma research."
Dr Groot said the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences and SANE Australia had a strong shared vision of reducing stigma around complex mental health issues.
"We are only starting to scratch the surface in terms of what we can accomplish together to tackle the problem," Dr Groot said.
The National Stigma Report Card
The National Stigma Report Card study will examine for the first time how Australians living with complex mental illness experience stigma and discrimination across a range of areas, including housing, education, employment, health services, and media representations. The research team aims to identify specific targets for improvement. Data collected will provide hard evidence needed to drive long-term change in policy and practice so that Australians living with complex mental illness can live long and fulfilling lives.

In some countries, air conditioners are also used not only for air conditioning but also for space heating where some countries have cold climates. So, they use heating AC which is very rarely found in tropical countries. If you need the best heating and cooling product with its service, you should contact the heating and cooling Kenosha.
AC is a tool that must continue to work every day, so it needs care so that the air conditioner still works well. In order to maintain air conditioning heating and air conditioning it helps you to note the following things:
For cooling air conditioner
Check the level of your central AC refrigerant
Refrigerant capacity, whether large or small, will result in your AC system not working efficiently so it can reduce the life of the engine which results in rapid damage and affects energy costs. Always clean the blower components so that the airflow goes well.
For air conditioner heater
Special heating
Check the gas part directly connected to the engine, gas pressure, and heat exchange on the combustion section. Do not neglect the operation of oil which is connected directly to the engine, because this will be harmful to your health. Dirty or cracked burners will make the operation of the burner not run smoothly, resulting in less safe and efficiently operating equipment parts.
To maintain the AC engine, it must be considered in various ways, especially on the outside of the engine. The air conditioner is always running all the time when winter or summer comes. It's good, use your air conditioner properly according to your needs.
For tropical countries, heating ac is very rarely found because tropical countries do not have cold climates. Air conditioning makes one of the choices of tropical countries to be used as a tool to cool the room when the room feels hot.
When many people use a lot of air conditioner refrigeration because there are already many manufacturers offering cheap air conditioners which of course are in accordance with affordable prices.

As soft late-morning light streamed through old multipane windows, Annie Nimmo and Aaron Davies danced to "Ave Maria," a flowing ballet that had the pair moving as one. They, and three other dancers, were taking advantage of one of their last available rehearsals in studio space their troupe has occupied since before Lowertown became cool.
Ballet Minnesota and Classical Ballet Academy have called the Jax Building in St. Paul's increasingly hip Lowertown neighborhood home for 26 years. But, as they prepare this week for upcoming performances of "Sleeping Beauty" and the 28th annual Minnesota Dance Festival, their run in Lowertown is coming to an end. This longtime low-cost hub of Lowertown's arts scene has been sold and all the current tenants — dancers, sculptors, painters and photographers — must find new space. The new owners won't say what this once shabby-chic space will become, although some combination of sparkling new commercial and residential is expected.
If so, the Jax sale continues a redevelopment trend: Upscale restaurants, apartments and condos are opening in space that once was low-price and fit for studios, pricing the Bohemian artists' vibe right out of the neighborhood. Many longtime tenants, arts champions and some city officials worry that Lowertown may lose what made the area so desirable to begin with.
"It's the age-old thing. A long-neglected area and its cheap rents attract artists who need a lot of space but don't have a lot of money," said Andy Remke, who owns the nearby Black Dog Coffee and Wine Bar and has been in Lowertown for 17 years. "But then they get pushed out by the people who are drawn here. It's sad."
Cheryl Rist, co-founder of the academy and Ballet Minnesota, said she isn't sad to be moving. Their new space, on the West Side flats just across the river from downtown, has more space for costume storage and plenty of free parking for parents dropping off their children at ballet class. But there is no question that Lowertown is losing its artists' core, she said.
"It's leaving, slowly, no matter how much they say it's not … things that made it appealing, unfortunately, go away," Rist said.
Building tenants even held a "Jax Wake" a couple of weeks ago.
City Council Member Rebecca Noecker, whose ward includes Lowertown, said she has no desire to see that happen. It is exciting that new businesses, drawn by CHS Field, Union Depot and the Green Line, want to be part of the former warehouse district's resurgence, she said. With them comes increased tax revenue. But, she said, "we're in danger of killing the goose that laid the golden egg. The challenge is striking that balance between popularity and the culture of innovation and creativity that drew people here."
Noecker has teamed up with Joe Spencer, Mayor Chris Coleman's guy for arts and culture, and area artists to put their heads together to find possible solutions. They've had one meeting. More are planned.
While the city cannot subsidize rents to keep them affordable for artists, Noecker said, the city and artists' cooperatives can work to identify locations the cooperatives can buy to preserve as space for artists to live and work.
"Some sites might end up being across the river on the West Side," she said, because of lower rents there. "But we also want to keep the feeling in Lowertown that artists created here."
Groups like ArtSpace already own a couple of Lowertown buildings and foster art and artists, Remke said. The building occupied by Black Dog, the Northern Warehouse, has made it a priority to be artist-friendly and affordable. The coffee bar also has had a long relationship with area artists, displaying their work and hosting events. The love goes both ways. Remke said Andrew Rist of Ballet Minnesota once created and performed "The Black Dog Café."
Still, Remke said, as the neighborhood changes and becomes more upscale, "we feel some of the pressure, too. We have to increase our business to be more appealing to the people coming in."
But, he added, "We want to stay relevant to our longtime customers too. Somehow, we have to make it work. At the end, we don't want to be a nonprofit organization here. We have to pay our rent and pay our employees."

I found that compound with a random orbit polisher works faster then clay bars and less elbow grease. The random orbit polisher is so I dont cut the clear coat unless I concentrate in one spot. I normally follow that up with a spray wax but this summer I tried F11. Its basicly a spray wax or a detailer wax only more expensive. So after a month or so I have been unimpressed with F11 and will be going back spray wax.20190908_095511.jpg20190908_095357.jpg

May 28th, 1990
Flight from ANU – UVF – ANU
Ramada Renaissance, Royal Antiguan Resort
Deep Bay, Antigua
Skipped the morning tea and toast routine because we had to take a taxi into town to retrieve Gurgle II. He's not quite as sleek as his predecessor and his paint is peeling from too much sun but he still gets us around the island. Dolly said he "looked hurt," because we left him alone, in town, overnight. I do worry about her, then again, I'm the one talking about a vehicle like he's a person!
Spent the afternoon at Shirley Heights and danced away the remainder of my dastardly hangover. The music was fantastic, with steel drums and such a great atmosphere, high up on the hill, from which the view was endless.
This evening, we operated the shuttle to St. Lucia. The flight originated in LHR and was chock-a-block. The aptly named hat racks were stuffed to the gills, not only with ambitious Mother-of-the bride hat boxes but huge wedding dresses that took up every square inch. I was highly amused by the neurotic brides-to-be and their hawk like stares, aimed at anyone (including crew) who dared to open an overhead storage compartment within the vicinity of their precious, puffy, cargo.
There was no such issue on the return sector, which meant the cargo hold was full of meringue like frocks but that wasn't the only difference. The lovey dovey couples on their way to St. Lucia (Millie claimed she was in great danger of throwing up!) possessed an entirely different look to the freshly hitched ones on the return sector, who Dolly said looked, "Royally shagged out."
The crew teased us and asked where we've been hiding.
"We've been doing quite a bit of sightseeing," Dolly chirped in a much too innocent tone that had Millie and I in stitches. I actually call Laney Millie now and she calls me Maddie!
It's almost midnight but we just ordered tea and toast, cheesecake (no chocolate mousse on the room service menu!) and apple pie to enjoy here in my room, while we watch, "The Fly," with Jeff Goldblum.
Looks like Millie, Maddie and Dolly are in for the night!

The new, international NIVEA website was supposed to be more cosmetic and emotional. At the same time, the new umbrella brand strategy "Beauty is …" was developed, which was integrated alongside a comprehensive history area. // Project: Relaunch of the international brand website NIVEA.com (Beiersdorf), documentation of the new design specifications in an online style guide, development of the new brand presentation (The NIVEA History and Beauty is …) // Task: concept, design concept, creative direction // www.nivea.com
This project was created during my time at Fork Unstable Media, Hamburg.
The result was a design with many curves and smooth transitions, that gave space for large beauty visuals. "Beauty is…" got its own chapter, in which NIVEA users around the world were invited to describe their own concept of beauty and to document it with a photo.
In "The NIVEA History" chapter the user could get information about the history of the brand and, for example, watch old commercials. The user had the opportunity to browse freely or to choose a "Guided Tour" to experience the development of packaging in chronological order, for example.

Michael Insana: Exploiting data sparsity to enhance sensitivity in medical images
We frequently find in medical imaging that patient data are "sparse," notes Michael F. Insana in this plenary session. That is, when the recorded data are decomposed into an appropriate basis, the information related to a specific clinical task is found in a small compact subspace.
Sampling sparse data appropriately enables high frame-rate imaging with minimal loss of image quality. It also enables efficient implementation of machine-learning and other analysis techniques designed to enhance the diagnostic performance of that modality. These ideas are fundamentally changing how we approach data sampling in image science. We are leveraging the advantages of sparsity in developing a new power-Doppler imaging method using data from commercial ultrasound instruments.
Our methods significantly increase blood-signal sensitivity and specificity for slow, spatially disorganized patterns of blood flow as is characteristic of peripheral perfusion. We arrange the recorded echo data into high-dimensional arrays that are decomposed into basis sets to effectively separate strong tissue echo signals from the much weaker blood signals of perfusion. That is, we first expand echo-data dimensionality to capture and then isolate the perfusion subspace before reducing dimensionality to render an image.
This combination of pulse sampling and clutter filtering enhances peripheral perfusion images such that injectable contrast media are no longer required. In preclinical mouse studies, we find our methods can significantly enhance the effectiveness of sonography at assessing the time course of revascularization in an ischemic hindlimb. The clinical application we are pursuing is serial assessment of peripheral arterial disease in diabetic patients.
Michael F. Insana is the Donald Biggar Willett Professor in Engineering and a faculty member in the Departments of Bioengineering and ECE at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research involves medical ultrasonics applied to imaging soft tissue microstructure, viscoelasticity, and blood flow.

The guys at GOG (no GAG ;) continue to barrel along. They've just added Adventure Soft to their growing list of publishers, with two Simon The Sorcerer games now available.
And, just in time for the holidays: gift certificates! Yep, you can buy a game for a friend. You purchase through a special link, and include the email address of the recipient. That person then logs in to GOG (must have an account, or create one otherwise, but it's free) at a special page, enters the certificate number, and downloads the game. Pretty simple.
Of course, you should make sure your friend isn't (like me) on dial-up, because the downloads can be large (well, they seem large without broadband). But hey, it could be a good way to introduce someone to a good, classic game.

This has been selected for Z because of the director 'Travis Zariwny'.
Director: Travis Zariwny
Writer: Travis Zariwny (Screenplay) Rob Kennedy (Original Screenplay)
Starring: Robert Englund, Gabrielle Haugh, Lin Shaye, Grayson Gabriel, Michael Sirow
Plot: A girl and her friends find a game in the attic that summons a creature known as The Midnight Man, who uses their worst fears against them.
Runtime: 1 Hour 35 Minutes
There may be spoilers in the rest of the review
Verdict: Nice Late Night Horror
Story: The Midnight Man starts with a young lady Alex (Haugh) caring for her elderly grandmother Anna (Shaye) who does have a dark past, when Alex and her friend Miles (Gabriel) discover a mysterious box in the attic, it sends Anna crazy forcing a Dr Harding (Englund) to check up on her.
When Alex and Miles decide to play the game from inside the box, they unleash the Midnight Man, a figure that will come and haunt its victims with their own fears if they don't follow the strict rules of the game. They must now battle to survive the night against the deadly supernatural enemy.
Thoughts on The Midnight Man
Characters – Alex is a young lady who has been caring for her elderly grandmother, she lost her parents at a young age, she follows her routines put in place, until she takes part in the game bringing the Midnight Man to life. We don't learn much about her life away from caring for her grandmother though. Miles is the best friend that has come to keep Alex company, there is hints of a romantic interest between the two, he is happy to play along with the game, but is the only one to search for the full rules before playing. Anna is the grandmother that played the game when she was a child, seeing her friends take by the creature, she has barely left the house since. Her secrets are kept from Alex though. Dr Harding is the trusted family doctor, but he too has a secret with his connection to the Midnight Man.
Performances – Gabrielle Haugh takes the leading role and she doesn't do anything wrong here either, she shows the caring side needed and the smart side when it comes to fighting back. Grayson Gabriel is solid too, without needing to do too much. We do have horror legends in Robert Englund and Lin Shaye who both deliver everything to show their experience in this genre.
Story – The story here follows two friends that accidentally unleash the game of the Midnight Man who brings to life their biggest fears. The story does come from a CreepyPasta which means it could become one that catches fire in the horror community. The rules laid out are long, but effective to create the Midnight Man figure and using the ideas of your fears is an easy way to get away with in horror. We do have a few twists along the way, but otherwise we will get everything we need for a simple and effective story.
Horror – The horror from the film comes by using the creation of the Midnight Man, he has a unique look and how he uses his rules, he can create the fears needed. The kills are built into the horror, with age not being something this film is scared of using.
Settings – The film is set in one location, the house, which is part of the rules, this is effective and does help play into the idea that playing supernatural games are not a good idea.
Special Effects – The effects are used to show how the kills happen, they are effective and feel more practical than CGI.
Scene of the Movie – The game rules.
That Moment That Annoyed Me – If Alex had a fear of blood, she wouldn't get involved in anything involving blood.
Final Thoughts –This is an interesting idea for horror, it does create a new villainous figure that could strike fear into people.
Overall: Horror game that uses the rules.

20 minutes well spent really benefiting mind and body
This was my first ever reiki session, I found it very calming and relaxing.
I felt like I was floating and buzzing during the session, and had a great sense of peace afterwards 🙂
I would definitely have more, and recommend everyone should have this treatment just to experience reiki for themselves.
A warm and friendly enviroment, made me feel instantly at ease and I felt relaxed and refreshed after my treatments. Head to Toes has so many therapies to offer so there is something to suit everybody. I have had a lovely hand massage, several wonderful Reiki sessions, a relaxing reflexology treatment and a fab Indian Head massage which I loved as it included an upper back massage. I have just booked in for my next treatment as these therapies help me to cope with the stresses of modern day living!
This was my first reiki session and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to experience relaxation and healing in any way.
I felt quite floaty and buzzing all the way through, and very peaceful afterwards 🙂
have had several relaxing Reiki treatments that banishes the stresses of the day, highly recommended!

What About F#?
This week, we're going to talk about the brief experience we had with F# in the last days of 2017.
A few days before the holidays, I was tasked to write a short data cruncher program, and it was decided (with a fully disclosed excitation on my part) that this program would be written in F#. The project consisted of reading data from a CSV file and an SQL database, matching the data and producing an aggregate output into another CSV file.
At BesLogic, we're already quite used to functional programming in our main projects, as we integrate parts of the concepts in our daily programming, but we did not yet have the chance to write some code in a functional language.
Since we are very familiar with the .NET ecosystem, F# was a natural choice as a functional programming language: indeed, it is part of the .NET family of languages, so it has great support from Microsoft, and can interact natively with the .NET framework (we chose .NET Core 2 for the project).
We'll probably have more articles on F# in the future, but since it was our first program written in the language, this article will be more of an overview of our first impressions.
What we liked
Functional Composition
Functional composition is a way to create a single, new function, from smaller, separate functions.
It works differently from creating a new function as one would in C#, by adding a new method. Instead, you think more in terms of inputs and outputs than in terms of variables and intermediary steps. Since there's also a special operator to compose functions, it's also incredibly easy to assemble small parts into a bigger process.
Because I want to show that functional languages are useful outside of the fields of learning and science, I prepared an example that could be the base for a DateTime utility module. We will deal with parsing, Utc and Local conversions as well as formatting.
You can see in the example that I do not have to type in the parameters when composing functions. That's because the composition creates a new function, and all I need is binding it to a symbol, so I can reference it later in the code.
The Pipe Operator
The pipe operator allows us to write code that is more similar to the typical dot-chaining as one would do with methods and extensions in C#, for instance, which means it helps make the code look more similar to more familiar languages. It can help reduce the learning curve. It's also a nice way to avoid having a lot of wrapped parentheses everywhere, in a language that does not use parentheses for normal function calls.
I did not show it in this example, but there is also a reversed pipe operator. It works the same way as the pipe operator, except it will pass the right value to the left function, instead of passing the left value to the right function. It's sometimes useful when you try to preserve readability. I used it in the first example, to make the Utc and Local constructors appear in the right order, even though I needed to wrap the value of the method call first. Parenthesis would have worked just as fine, but I wanted a bit of syntactic diversity in my examples.
Pattern Matching
It's nice that C# 7 started to bring pattern matching features, but there's still no match (get it?) with what is possible in the F# world. You saw me use it in the previous examples: we would use it to match on the parse result of DateTime.TryParse, where we could ignore the parsed value in the false case using the _ symbol. We also used it to distinguish between the Utc and Local cases, collecting the inner value of the union case (and the same goes for the Option type). The fact that you can actually store data with union types is really helpful, when compared with union types in TypeScript, for example.
We also use the pattern matching to distinguish between "null" and "non-null" values (the Option type you saw in the first example above). You can read more about ways to use nulls to your advantage in one of our previous articles.
Type Inference
Ask anyone: I'm passionate about type inference. Anything that can help me reduce boilerplate code in my daily work, I'll take it, and telling the compiler what is the type of the element I'm already assigning to my variable fits right into that description. But I also like my static type safety. I'll always prefer compile-time issues to runtime issues!
Out of the 19 (!) values I declared in the composition example (some of which were functions, some of which were not), I only had to annotate 5 functions, when I used a DateTime struct. F# has a harder time inferring the type of objects than it has inferring the type of records, unions and functions. This is not a bad thing: it's still a great amount less type typing, and it encourages a functional style by rewarding you with less noise and simpler code.
It's important to note that, just because I didn't write most of the type annotations doesn't mean that my code is not type checked. As I said, F# is a statically typed language. It's just that the compiler was able to figure out which types I meant to use by itself, and make sure I used everything only as I am allowed to.
Now, it may seem like it is more difficult to know what you can do with the values you have in your hands, but I don't think it matches the actual experience you have with F#. First of all, by keeping functions small and simple, you can focus on the code you are writing, and it's easier to have the types of what you're typing in mind. If you make a mistake, the compiler will tell you anyway! If you made a mistake, you just need to go back and fix the compiler error. If you are using an editor such as Visual Studio Code, you can also download the Ionide plugin, which adds type annotations automatically above your functions and values in the global scope, adds IntelliSense to your editor and will show you the compiler errors directly in the editor. If, at any time, you are unsure of the inferred type of something, you can just hover over it, and you will see a very readable type annotation appear in a tooltip.
What surprised us
Well, it's mostly one thing: the way F# compilation works.
In the C# world, we're used to being able to create a new file, and having everything just work (as long as the new file is referenced in the .csproj file). In F#, you have to worry about the order in which said files are enumerated in the .fsproj file. Indeed, F# is (generally) not capable of reading forward declarations, and does not hoist some kind of declarations at the top, as it may be done in JavaScript. It simply reads your code from top to bottom, in the order that the .fsproj dictates.
This means that when you create new files, you have to go and edit the project file, in order to place the file at the right place in the list. Now, this can be fine for small to medium projects and, granted, you don't need as many files as you do in the C# world, but still, that's a lot of overhead we did not foresee.
Maybe the design changes it pushes are for the best, and we would see the benefits in the long run! Maybe the problem can be mitigated by creating multiple projects, instead of having a bigger project for your whole app!
In any case, this was a surprised to us, and we hope that the people working on F# will eventually figure out a way to make the projects work no matter the order the files are declared in.
And this does not stop us from loving F# all the way!
You can find more info about F# on the language's webiste: https://fsharp.org/.
On that note, that's all we have for this week! There are a lot of things that I didn't mention in this article, like the type providers, because they are broad topics. The type providers made working with CSV and SQL so easy! I will probably write more articles about these in the future, so, stay tuned!
See you next time!

A step towards a better future
SPES receives much-needed help
29 November 2019 | Banking
The money was used throughout the year towards the development of one of the many schools that SPES supports in Windhoek's most impoverished areas. The anonymity of the schools is safeguarded to ensure the protection of the minor children who are educated at them.
The morning of Friday 22 November 2019, the Group representatives were delighted to see progress at one of the schools. The money sponsored by Capricorn Group was used to construct a portable precast classroom structure and two flush toilets connected to the sewer system. At the moment water has to be poured into the cisterns manually. Once the school is connected to the municipal water supply, it would eliminate the need to buy and carry water from outside the school grounds. Also added were a fence and a lockable gate to secure the property. During the visit, the cheerful, singing kids also received Christmas gifts and enjoyed cake with their guests.
Esme Coetzee, the spokesperson for SPES, said: "It was important for us to ensure that the agreed-upon deliverables of the project took place promptly, as per our commitment towards Capricorn Group."
SPES also supports 25 pre-schools in the informal settlements of Windhoek and works around some of the practical challenges they have.
During the visit, Capricorn Group financial director Jaco Esterhuyse thanked SPES for the work done for the community. Addressing the children, he said: "Kids, work hard. Remember that education is the one thing that will make all things possible for you."
He added that the Capricorn Group, as a truly Namibian business, loves the country and will do what it can to grow and support its communities. The Group firmly believes in planting seeds that will grow into sustainable opportunities by being a "connector of positive change", he said.

Barnard Castle focus on Under 15 challenge
Having been at the sharp end of the Daily Mail Schools Under18 Cup for a year or two, Barnard Castle coach Martin Pepper is looking ahead to a season where the pressure will not be quite so intense, though no sooner has he spoken of a rebuilding process, he is extolling the virtues of a very tasty bunch of Under 15s who will be stepping up to the plate next week.
In recent times, �Barnie� have had the likes of Calum Clark and Rory Clegg to provide the inspiration, with fellow England internationals Alex Gray and Tom Catterick to ensure that the thread of real quality continues into another campaign.
Any school with a record which has produced 20 international players in the past decade can never be written off, even in a season of rebuilding, and it will be interesting to see what new names from the current squad are written alongside the likes of Lee Dickson and Matthew Tait in the years to come.
That said, the Daily Mail Under 18 Cup is a very challenging environment, especially when the cream of English Schools rugby rises to the top in the later stages, and Pepper�s assertion that he does not expect his team to be still in the hunt after Christmas has a touch of pragmatism to it.
�I don�t think we�ll be featuring in the later stages of the Daily Mail this season,� he says: �We�ve started with three wins, which I suppose is good for what is a young team. We have five of the starting line-up in the semi-finals last season still involved, with prop Chris Bark and Alex Gray the only forwards still involved. Let�s say there�s no great pressure this season for the Under 18s and we�ll see how it unfolds.�
While Pepper is low-key about the chances of the senior squad, he is more enthusiastic about the Under 15 challenge.
�We�ve a very good Under 15s this year and in Daily Mail terms, their chances are more positive. They�ve won all their games so far, including a win over RGS Newcastle, which we felt would be a good marker as to how useful our lads were. We�re hopeful that they�ll have a good run and they definitely have some very good players, but just how good it�s hard to measure. We are picking from only 42 boys in the year group, so when you come up against team who have 140 to choose from, you�re on a sticky wicket to start with. But we�ll be giving it a go.�

On this day in history…
I was born.
Riveting? No? Too much? Too soon?
A friend of mine does a list of goals equal to her age each year. I don't have enough time to meet 39 goals in a year. That's like almost one a week. 🙂 To shake things up a bit, I will give you a list of 39 facts about me and my life. Some of them you probably know. Others may surprise you. This is blogging, drive-by style.
- On the day I was born, the local Thriftway store burned down.
- My parents named me "Amy", because my brother had a speech impediment and Amy was easy to say.
- I only have one sibling, my brother. He passed away last year.
- I wanted a sister so bad, I "adopted" my cousin when she was born.
- When I was a kid, I never wanted to grow up and have kids.
- I have 5 kids.
- I have been married for 15 years. This is the 19th birthday of mine that I have spent with my husband.
- I used to color my hair so much that I wasn't sure what color my hair really was.
- My husband is the first, and only, person I have ever, ahem, you know. 😉
- I love Dutch Brothers' Coffee.
- I love to travel. I love road trips.
- I was born partially deaf. I wear hearing aids in both ears.
- I participated in the school, district and state spelling bee two years in a row.
- I cried when I was eliminated at the school level in the 7th grade.
- I don't remember what word I misspelled.
- I have four Compassion International kids. I need to write them more.
- I have a hard time buying stuff for myself, but no problems buying for other people.
- I sleep with socks on, but sometime during the night, I take them off. When my husband can't find his socks, he strips the bed.
- I married a single father and ex-drug user who was living with his mom (in his 30's) when I met him.
- It was one of the best decisions I ever made. ❤
- I didn't know how to cook when I got married. I taught myself and now I love all things cooking!
- I used to type the chicken peck style, but when I got a job at Leatherman Tool Group, I taught myself how to type properly. My supervisor thought I typed fast enough chicken peck style and begged me not to change.
- I rarely ever forget a number or a date.
- I can hold a grudge for a super long time.
- I spent much of the past year panicked about death.
- I think inappropriately. A lot. I don't remember where Piper got it from.
- I used to have a special love for Almond Joys, but after I started buying good dark chocolate, I rarely eat AJ's. I have a bag of them from Halloween that I haven't touched.
- I had a birthmark when I was born. I'm not telling you where it was.
- I haven't always liked football. I started watching to impress my husband. It was a trick!
- My husband married Mrs. Wright. I may be a Dixon now, but I will always be Wright.
- I had a baby "late" in life. I was 38. I'd have one at 40 if I could get all parties to agree.
- I love my in-laws. I feel extremely blessed to have the extended family that I do!
- I have a favorite kid. It changes depending on which one of them I am talking to. 😉
- My favorite meal is breakfast.
- I love to coupon. I love to save money.
- I'm wearing my winter boots with my summer skirt. Why? Because it's my birthday and I can do whatever I want!
- My dad had me convinced that airplanes fly straight at night by flying between the red and green lights on the tips of the wings. I believed it until I was 16. I realized how stupid that was when I explained it to a friend of mine. Guess I had never said it out loud.
- I am a good friend. I keep my friends for life. I feel like my friends from my younger years understand me more than my friends from my adult years.
- I say the words "Damn it" a lot. I probably shouldn't.
Happy Birthday to me! I can't wait to see what another year brings. With me in it, it's got to be good!

As you all know we have had quite a few bumps in the road this past year. Unfortunately, we will NOT be able to sell A Clean Cigarette products after September 9, 2020 due to government regulations from the FDA.
We are currently transitioning to new products that we will not be offering online. Please continue to visit us at one of our 8 Michigan store locations to see the new products that we have available! We are also open longer hours at most of our stores to serve you better.
We want to take this time to THANK YOU personally, it's been our pleasure to serve you over the years, we consider you not only as friends, but FAMILY. Please accept our deepest apologies for this.
Hey guys, Dawn here and as you can probably guess things have been a bit hectic around here. What with the Governor's announcement, the menthol ban, the shakeup on the national level and mainstream media straight-up lying to people about the resent lung infections, hectic is really putting it lightly. All of this uproar means big changes for all of us.
I have to be honest, All of this is definitely hurting us. We are taking blows from every direction and from the outside, it would appear we are on the ropes….and we are…..but on the ropes……Is a LONG WAY from out of the fight!!!!
The thing is to live through this battle we need to be realistic about what choices we have. That means taking hard looks at things we do not want to. Things like how many stores we have in which locations and how many hours each store is open for.
It's always been our goal to be as convent as possible. We understand smokers and we understand that smokers can get traditional burning tobacco at every corner store. We also understand that we can never be that convenient so we have always made it a point to have long hours and as many stores as possible coupled with outstanding customer service. Basically, we knew we could not beat big tobacco, but we can out service them.
Fortunately, our service will not be changing. When you come into our stores you will find fellow smokers who are really there to help you and celebrate your goals with you. That is not ever going to change, it's just who we are.
Unfortunately, we will have to consolidate to survive. That means closing some stores, changing some hours and sadly letting go of some team members. Most of which have families that counted on this job. (If this ticks you off feel free to call the Governor to tell her again how ignorant her policies are.) We ask as these changes take place that you have patients with us. We will try to do what we have to do as seamlessly as possible but let's face it. Some people are going to be driving further (or ordering off the internet) to get to the service they expect.
First, let's talk about the big changes with the hours. Over the next month, many of our stores will be opening 1 hour later and closing 1 hour earlier. We are not entirely sure which stores will be affected by this but we are sure it will be most of them. Be sure to check with the team members at the A Clean Cigarette store you most commonly shop at.
For example: The ACC Muskegon store will be changing its hours. Current hours: 8am -8pm Mon-Sat. New hours starting on October 3rd, 2019 are: 9am-7pm Mon-Sat.
As for the stores that are closing. We are not 100% sure on this either. There are many things to consider about each location. With that in mind, we will do announcements whenever it becomes evident that a store is going to have to close.
As of the time, I am writing this the only store closing for sure is our Saginaw Store that is located in the Pay-Per-Klip salon. While all closing will be hard this one hit us in a special place since it was one of our very first locations.
We will be posting a list of stores with updated hours and closings on Facebook as soon as we get it finalized. Since this is not an easy thing to do, it's hard to say how long it will take. New closings could be announced as soon as tomorrow or anytime in the near future.
While we may have to consolidate and make painful cuts and we are not sure what the future hold we do know that they fight is still going. They got that round but there are a bunch more rounds to go and we believe that the little guy CAN make a difference. We also believe that smokers are worth it. Just because the outside world has villainized us smokers that does not mean we should shrink to the shadows. Destined for a slow miserable death. No. Smokers deserve options, Smokers deserve A Clean Cigarette and we will fight to keep that option alive.
If you or a loved one would like more information about A Clean Cigarette brand electronic cigarettes please visit acleancigarette.com.
Thanks for visiting guys and if you have questions feel free to ask. Drop me an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com
