It's hard to pick a favorite one,
But this one might be mine.
This story holds a special place,
Within the sands of time.
This story fills my heart with joy,
And makes me reminisce
About the way God used my life
To show His providence.
There was a boy that caught my eye,
I never will forget.
On New Year's Eve 2005,
Our stage began to set.
We hit it off right from the start,
He always made me smile.
But then came days of frustration,
That lasted for a while.
He prayed and prayed and never stopped,
He waited for my heart.
And then one day it all made sense;
He loved me from the start.
His patience stood the test of time
His love, it only grew.
He won my heart like no one else,
Then finally said, "I do."
Our greatest days were yet to come,
The world we longed to see.
Then after we had settled down,
We wanted to be three.
The path to three was simple, right?
It wouldn't take too long.
We quickly learned that this assumption,
Couldn't be more wrong.
The path was longer than we thought
And full of tests and trials.
But on that road I barely walked,
This man, he ran for miles.
And even in the toughest times,
His patience wins the race.
His goal has always been the same;
A smile on my face.
I can't imagine life without
This selfless, patient man.
That's why I love to think about
Just how it all began.
You might hear mommy call him "babe"
Or maybe even "baby"
But I can't wait to see his faceThe day you call him "daddy"

How to Choose the Right Marketing Automation Software
How to Choose the Right Marketing Automation Software
There are many types of marketing automation software to choose from. This post can help you decide which option is… Read More
Customer retention is a priority for any good business, especially in the first few weeks after a new purchase. Did you know that, when used properly, marketing automation can improve customer retention and encourage customer loyalty? Here are some ways to take advantage of how marketing automation can help you increase customer retention.
Get new customers started out right
The moment you close the first sale with a customer, retention and loyalty become priorities. The earliest interactions are the most important, so you should start new customers off on the right foot. Use marketing automation to launch a "welcome journey" with automated emails for new users, thanking them for their purchase and providing useful content. This can be spaced out over the course of several weeks, months, or even a year.
Provide customer service
Marketing automation can help streamline some aspects of customer support. For example, you can send out simple instructions, recommendations, or a FAQ shortly after closing a sale. These messages should include links to social media or other contact information in case they have further questions. You can also track customers on social media and send messages at appropriate times to ask how they are enjoying their purchase.
Use automation to improve content
Data and tools from your marketing automation solution can help you develop customer profiles and deliver the best content for certain leads. The data can help you assign content to existing customers or prospects. It can also help you develop new content, targeted to certain audiences.
Identify active, loyal customers
Lead scoring, a feature of many marketing automation services, can help you identify those customers who interact most frequently with your content and social media accounts. Use lead scoring to find these customers and nurture relationships with them, requesting testimonials and offering rewards and incentives.
Let CC&A Strategic Media help you improve customer retention with marketing automation. Contact us today for a free consultation.

Selva Verde is more than just a lodge. It's a vast, 500-acre bio-reserve that serves as your gateway to Costa Rica's most accessible rainforest. Here you'll meet keel-billed toucans, howler monkeys, hummingbirds, red-eyed tree frogs—all the marvelous flora and fauna that make this expanse along the Sarapiquí River a heaven on earth for naturalists. Best of all, it's just two hours north of Costa Rica's vibrant capital of San José.
Selva Verde Lodge was born in 1982, when its founder, Giovanna Holbrook, was asked to scout out lodgings for an ornithologists' field study in Costa Rica. In the course of her search, she stumbled across a virgin tract of old-growth rainforest that was being threatened by loggers. Enchanted, she bought the land on the spot. She then proceeded to develop it into one of the world's first eco-tourism destinations, hiring local squatters to work at the lodge and consulting with conservationists to minimize the business's footprint. Today, the reserve testifies to the power of one woman's dream.

So maybe you are wondering, why adopt? Well, it is something we began to consider about 9 years ago for some point in the future. We believed we would adopt internationally when the 'time was right'. Then, Ruth was born and less than two years later, Daniel was born. All along, we still believed that we would adopt, but the timeframe was moved in order to maintain birth order with our kiddos. Finally, Al said, it's time!
Adoption is favored by God and is even used to picture the relationship we have with our heavenly father "For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!" Romans 8:14 and with Christ as his co-heir "The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs–heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him." Romans 8:16-18 .
So, how did we decide on Ethiopia?
No, not by a spin of the globe…actually Ruth is pointing to Papua, New Guinea where Uncle Chris was on a mission trip at the time)
When it was time to begin research, we looked at different countries including China, Vietnam, India, Nepal, Guatemala, Liberia, Ethiopia, Haiti, Brazil, etc. I think all along we pictured our family including a sweet little girl from China. However, as we began the real journey, we realized that God was calling us somewhere else. I began to be fixed on Africa and looked at Liberia and Ethiopia. These countries are sadly rich with true orphans mostly due to war, poverty and AIDS. Orphans are filling the orphanages throughout Africa and I felt the Lord putting a love for the children there in my heart.
Al was less settled. But within a day of my telling him my thoughts, he read an article about an Ethiopian Christian street evangelist, named Tedase, being dragged into a mosque in southern Ethiopia on March 26th and beaten to death by extremist (Waddahi) Muslims because he wouldn't stop preaching. You can read that article here. I think that article was used by God to also confirm Ethiopia for Al. We have hopes that perhaps someday our son would want to return to his birth country and serve the Lord and the people there.
"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world" James 1:27

I am the Lord and more than enough; whoever follows me will lack nothing, for I am with you. I am all you need! If you have Me, you have everything! Why then are you going to the world seeking what only I can give you? Stop compromising My Gospel, stop compromising My Truth. I demand your heart, I demand your mind and I demand your soul. Come after Me you double minded. Seek My Will and deny your own, for it is then that you will gain the abundant life. Bring down the idols of your heart; trust me and go and face your giants. For I Am with you! Why do you insist on returning to slavery? Why do you reject My Freedom, My Peace and My Joy for the emptiness of other gods? I gave My Levites specific instructions on how to serve me, treasure My presence, My Way of doing things and how to serve my people. One thing you and the Levites have in common; I called you both to be holy…for I Am holy. You want to follow me, but want to carry your idols among your material things; you want to follow Me, but your high places are consumed with the idolatry of this age. My message is Power, because I Am Power; don't change My message to grow in numbers…to say that you are doing something for Me. Come after Me with your whole heart…make-up your mind and stop trying to fit-in! My people are not of this world; you belong to My Kingdom! You are my peculiar people, but you are ashamed of your peculiarity, so you'd rather look like the world as you use My Name in vain for things that I don't approve. This is not your gospel; it is My Gospel; this not your truth, it is My Truth. They are not rejecting you, they are rejecting Me.

The True Secret for Effective Leadership Part 3
"10 Moses heard the people of every family wailing at the entrance to their tents. The LORD became exceedingly angry, and Moses was troubled. 11 He asked the LORD, 'Why have you brought this trouble on your servant? What have I done to displease you that you put the burden of all these people on me? 12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth? Why do you tell me to carry them in my arms, as a nurse carries an infant, to the land you promised on oath to their ancestors? 13 Where can I get meat for all these people? They keep wailing to me, 'Give us meat to eat!' 14 I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me. 15 If this is how you are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me—if I have found favor in your eyes—and do not let me face my own ruin." (Numbers 11:10-15) (NIV)
By my calculations, from the time Jethro gave him the advice to the time described in these verses, it was less than two years. In Numbers 10:11-12 the Bible tells us:
"11 On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle of the covenant law. 12 Then the Israelites set out from the Desert of Sinai and traveled from place to place until the cloud came to rest in the Desert of Paran."
So what happen with Moses' help? Why is he saying: "What have I done to displease you that you put the burden of all these people on me?" In his interaction with the Lord, Moses added: "If this is how you are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me—if I have found favor in your eyes—and do not let me face my own ruin." Wow, Moses sounded suicidal here! Moses is now a man who is totally burned-out in two year of this long journey. We all know that the children of Israel wondered in the desert for forty years; how can a man in this condition last thirty eight in the same position after this? Many of us are ready for a vacation once a year!
So what was God's answer? How was He going to resolve this issue? How was Moses going to remain the leader for the rest of this long journey? Obviously, the advice of Jethro fell short of providing Moses real help: capable men, men who fear God, trustworthy men and men who hate dishonest gain, were not enough. So this is what God did and it is in fact the heart of this message in what leadership stands in need of, today.
The True Secret for Effective Leadership Part 2
Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came to bring Moses' wife and children to Moses after the children of Israel crossed the red sea and God freed them from the slavery in Egypt. Very quickly, Jethro saw something that moved him in such a way that he decided to approach Moses and talk to him about it face-to-face. Jethro saw Moses doing too, much work; like many leaders today; every problem was brought before Moses for him to decide what the wisdom of God was in these matters. For a nation of over three million people, no doubt that Moses was working himself directly into a heart attack or a major burn-out. Jethro gave Moses the following advice:
"21 But select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. 22 Have them serve as judges for the people at all times, but have them bring every difficult case to you; the simple cases they can decide themselves. That will make your load lighter, because they will share it with you. 23 If you do this and God so commands, you will be able to stand the strain, and all these people will go home satisfied.'24 Moses listened to his father-in-law and did everything he said. 25 He chose capable men from all Israel and made them leaders of the people, officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. 26 They served as judges for the people at all times. The difficult cases they brought to Moses, but the simple ones they decided themselves.27 Then Moses sent his father-in-law on his way, and Jethro returned to his own country." (Exodus 18:21-27) (NIV)
This sounded like a great advice; the characteristics of these men are the characteristics that we would like to have in any men working for and with us in ministry… right? They were to have the following characteristics:
- Capable men
- Men who fear God
- Trustworthy
- Men who hate dishonest gain
It seems like Moses had the help that he needed; it seems like now he was ready to go; it seems like everything was in place. But, in all these wonderful qualities; there was no mention of one key ingredient. You can have all these wonderful qualities with the people around you, but if you don't have this one thing, you are setting yourself up for failure.
The True Secret for Effective Leadership Part 1
The time for Rambo leaders is over; if we truly want to be effective in the Lord we must have a group of people united. The idea that we are doing well while our neighborhood's quality of life continues to rapidly decay, is absurd. We have become experts in putting up Sunday Morning Shows, but the world sees very little difference between the way they behave and us. Ministries that are focus on one men or woman and are not actively making disciples are soon to be extinct. Today, not only is prayer itself a challenge, but the power of agreement is almost unfound. We want to be and do so much, but neglect who we are supposed to be and whom we are supposed to represent. Like the world, we fall apart in moments of crisis. With this series, I am going to address the leadership in the church. I say "the church" (one church) because there is only one church.
There is a great deal of power available to us, but I am afraid that our personal agendas and pride continues to increasingly get in the way of accessing that kind of power. It is easy to find talented people in the Body of Christ; people that can preach, write songs, hold a pretty decent tune, teach the Word, prophesy, etc. but it is almost impossible to find a leader that is effectively walking in unity. They are surrounded by people, but they are not really operating in unity; it seems like they are together, the numbers look good, but the true power of God is not there. The Bible tells us in Matthew 18:19
"19 Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven."
Notice the amazing power of agreement here! The word "agreement" here means: "to be harmonious:" In other words…to be in harmony. The word "done" here means: "to create, to fashion." So, when we stand in harmony with one another we open the doors of heaven and prepare the atmosphere for God to create and fashion what we are asking for. The challenge is that with more than two thousand Christian denominations and with all the divisions that we have, even amongst local churches, harmony is nowhere to be found. What we have is constant strife and people devouring each other.
So what does leadership have to do with anything?

Over the past few weeks I have been transforming our "formal" living and dining room. It's one long space and there isn't really much division between the 2 spaces. For the longest time, it was basically the "leftover" room of all the furniture I didn't use in the rest of the house. It ended up working pretty well for the last year we have been in the house, but it was about time for some change! Today I will be posting about { phase 2 } of 3 phases of this room makeover.
When I posted about my recent settee makeover, I also photographed what I thought was the "final" formal living room. Well, something in me knew that it still wasn't a finished space. It just didn't WOW me and I was still unhappy with a few key elements of the room. Although the room has changed since I took these photos, I want you to see the phases I work through when I design a space. It doesn't always end up the way you think it will, and that's perfectly okay! I am still in the third phase of the room, so that post will be coming soon;)
First, I want to start with my inspiration board that I made for the space. Basically… If I was SUPER rich, this is what my formal living space would consist of. I like to call it { French Farmhouse Industrial! }
BUT I'm not super rich, so this is what my space REALLY looks like…
Phase 1:
The above is what our space has basically looked like over the past year or so. I really didn't mind it at all, but I always knew I would eventually change things up.
Like I said, a lot of this is "hand me down" furniture that I have either re-finished, or re-painted. I love most of it, but the designer in me does wish it wasn't so mix-matchy. The size of the different furniture pieces aren't meant to all be in the same room…
And by that, I'm talking about the ENORMOUS buffet against the main wall. It's massive. Ginormous. Fabulously HUGE. It's an 1800's antique that I refinished and I just love it. BUT it's too large for this area and dwarfs any surrounding furniture that I try to place near it. When we moved in, we didn't know where to place it, and it just ended up in that spot. It has always bothered me in that location, but it was just too heavy for the hubby and I to move on our own… or so we thought!! Stay tuned because { phase 3 } will give a whole new life to this fabulously large buffet. But until then, below is what the room has looked like over the past few weeks. Phase 2!!
Phase 2:
Oh and I just have to share some updated pictures of my little Bailey girl;) Isn't she just the cutest little kitty?? I just love her:):):)

The paper money folded Origami Scorpion
Early July 2011 I accompanied a group of 20 cheerful volunteers to Rumah Tunas Harapan, Seri Menati, near Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan for a noble cause, to give the orphanage a new coat of paint. The group comprised of managers to general production workers and office staffers of a large personal products manufacturer; it had been an international company operated in
As the fearless intruder from the secondary forest (just at the back of the orphanage)made its way up from the shallow drain to the hot road surface, with its pair of pincers raised menacingly, I called for the few photographers who were there to cover the event to take snapshots of this uninvited guest. There was no sign of this intimidating pest (or pet if you want to keep it at home) backing off to where he came from. After all it was flat road surface all around and there were no crevices for it to sneak in to hide. Apparently it had lost its way while heading for somewhere. I was thinking if I left it there undisturbed, going anywhere it might stray to, it might sting one of the orphan children along the way. The orphanage accommodates about 40 boys and girls, aged from 4 to 14 years old. So I made a bold decision: catch it under my care for a start.
I ushered the scorpion with a small twig and more or less pushed it into a plaster bag and went round to look for a container. Well, there wasn't any and I had to make one. I cut off the top part of a mineral water bottle with a knife I borrowed from the kitchen. With a little tilt, the insect went into the bottle without a fight. I then sealed the opening with some paper adhesive tapes, leaving a tiny gap for the air-flow. I left the bottle with the scorpion nicely nudged in the tour coach with the air-conditioning running. I impromptu named my prized catch 'KingKong'. At the end of the day some members asked me the whereabouts of the scorpion and I answered in jest that I had eaten it up.
The venomous stinger could give you hell if you were stricken
I brought KingKong the scorpion home with the intention of showing off – to my two big boys who were in their twenties. There were paranoid to insects and all forms of crawlies, including cockroaches, spiders and grasshoppers. At the same time they were just as curious to observe the scorpion at close range in a transparent jar since they were great fans of Animal Planets' Jeff Corwin, who had been a hero catching snakes, tarantulas and all sorts of exotic wild lives. In the transparent jar I placed some green leaves for KingKong to feel like its natural habitat. At first it hid between the leaves but later it turned them into its carpet where it rested all day and night long. I fed the imprisoned vermin the tail of a cooked shrimp. It snubbed at the food given, but after one night I found the shell of the shrimp emptied of its meaty part. We observed that at resting position, KingKong would rest on its 4 pairs of legs, with its pair of pincers close to its mouth, while its rear heinous weapon the stinger would rest on its left part of the front body. When disturbed with the jar shaken, it stood up on all legs and the deadly stinger poised for combat mode. It was quite spectacular. I knew insect fed on dew droplets on leaves; so I squeezed some onto the leaves through the small opening of the lid of the jar.
The Scorpion of Arizona nicked named Death Stalker
After a few days I phoned my veterinarian niece, asking her would she adopt a scorpion as a pet, "Of course not, you know I have a one year old baby." But she was just as curious as my boys; "Can you send some pics over?" I promptly did and she replied in her mail that she was wondering how I avoided being stung. She claimed that she's comfortable with mammals and birds, but not arthropod crawlies with exoskeleton. After one whole week keeping KingKong the scorpion as a pet, I donated it to a pet shop 'Pet World' at the Ikano Power Station in Kota Damansara, and that ended my close encounter adventure with a deadly scorpion named KingKong.

Feeling Pissy & PhD News
2 comments:
- Boyd said...
Catie you knit very, very well.
The most rigorous part of the dissertation includes the
Methods Section
Study Design
Research questions and hypothesis formulation
Development of instrumentation
Describing the independent and dependent variables
Writing the data analysis plan
Performing a Power Analysis to justify the sample size and writing about it
Results Section
Performing the Data Analysis
Understanding the analysis results
Reporting the results.
When you enter this phase of the program, you are nearing the end of the journey. Given the difficulty of this phase, one often wishes they had previewed what was to come.
Many Ph.D candidates seem to hit a brick wall and feel disarmed when called upon to work on the methods and results section of their dissertation.
This is the point where many students diligently search for help calling on their advisor, peers, university assistance and even Google.
This is also the time when the student asks themselves the question" HOW MUCH HELP IS TOO MUCH".
Surely no one will deny that having your dissertation written for you is very wrong.
On the other hand, it is not unusual for doctoral students to get help on specific aspects of their dissertation.(e.g. APA formatting and editing) It also is not unusual for advisors to encourage students to seek outside help.
If you are a distance learning student it is almost essential you seek outside assistance for the methods and results section of your dissertation. The very nature of distance learning suggest the need for not only outside help but help from someone gifted in explaining highly technical concepts in understandable language by telephone and e-mail.
Distance learning, and the availability of programs, has increased exponentially over the last few years with some of the most respected institutions (Columbia University, Engineering; Boston University and others) offering a Ph.D in a variety of fields. If you are enrolled in a distance learning program, or considering one, you will be interested in reviewing the reference sites listed at the bottom of this page.
As stated above, many students hit their dissertation "brick wall" when they encounter the statistics section. Frequently, a student will struggle for months with that section before they seek a consultant to help them. This often leads to additional tuition costs and missed graduation dates.
If I were to name a single reason why a PhD candidate gets off track in their program it is the statistics and their fear of statistics.
So, the question is whether or not it is ethical to get help at all. If so, how much help is too much.
I don't know if there has ever been a survey of dissertation committee members who were asked this question, however, I know many advisors take the following position when they suggest or approve outside help:
To a large extent the process is self controlling. If the student relies too much on a consultant, the product may look good, however, the student will be unable to defend his/her dissertation.
It takes a committed effort on the part of the student and the consultant (resulting in a collaborative/teaching exchange) to have the student responsible for the data and thoroughly understand the statistics. The day the student walks in front of the committee to defend, there should be no question as to his/her understanding of statistics.
When their defense is successful, the question of "was the help too much" is answered.
If you are a Ph.D candidate and would like additional information, you may email me at:

My life is so not exciting--I'm just a total drama queen.
But...I'd be VERY CURIOUS about sarcasm acquisition...my son--the one with the communication handicap is finally getting ham-handed sarcasm--but irony TOTALLY escapes him. Seriously--I offer him up as a test subject. Send him a questionaire, set up an e-interview (I've got the little photo thing on my computer...) I mean, he'd be PERFECT!!!

Preheat oven to 400F (205C).
In a medium bowl, add the mascarpone and nduja and blend well. Set aside.
With a fork, beat 1 egg in a small bowl.
Place a length of parchment paper onto the counter, and very lightly flour the paper. Unfurl the pastry out onto the floured paper and, with a floured rolling pin, roll the dough out just a tiny bit to stretch it another 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) in length. Lift the paper with dough onto a baking sheet.
With the tip of a sharp paring knife, cut the sheet of pastry into 4 squares. Turn up the edges of each pastry square to form a lip and pinch at the corners to keep in place. Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the egg wash and prick the bottom of the squares all over with a fork.
Divide the mascarpone mixture between the 4 squares. Spread out a dollop of cheese in each square, and make a depression in the centre to cradle the egg.
Crack an egg into each depression and sprinkle about 1 tsp (5 mL) of the roasted peppers on top of each egg. If you have any runaway whites, just lift up the pastry edge and make that wall higher!
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are puffed and golden and the yolk is starting to set. Sprinkle with chopped herbs if you choose, though it's pretty flavourful as is.
Once you have mastered thawing and baking puff pastry from a box, you can pretty much top it with anything—sweet or savoury—and come off looking like a freakin' genius! Try this: unfurl the puff, place it on a parchment-lined sheet, cake pan or roasting pan. Spread with a nice layer of Crème Anglaise (page 51), stopping 2 inches (5 cm) in from the edges. Now here's where you can do whatever makes you happy: top with thinly sliced fruit; sprinkle with berries, grapes, raisins; dollop with jam; or simply dust with cinnamon or shaved chocolate. Now into the oven to bake.

Everyone has dreamt of a job that will allow them to see the world, while still providing the kind of salary that normally comes with a stable corporate career. Although nurses do have to report to work at whatever hospital, clinic, or another medical facility they're employed at, the constant supply of jobs means that nurses have the ability to relocate with a fairly high certainty that they'll be able to find a job wherever they decide to move. On that note, if you've been wanting to experience all that Australia has to offer but you don't want it to interfere with your nursing career aspirations, consider some of the following reasons why you can do both at the same time.
Advancing Your Career While Abroad
Many nurses feel obligated to stay in the same city for years because they're afraid they might affect progress that they've worked so hard to establish with their current employer. While that's a valid concern, there's no reason to let it keep you from moving to Australia, as you can easily study for your registered nurse to masters of science in nursing (RN to MSN) online using an accredited distance learning institution. For example, a student could be pursuing an MSN online with the University of Arizona while living and working in Australia. The ability to continue advancing your career after moving to Australia makes it a feasible option for any progressive professional that wants to experience the beauty of the Land Down Under.
Accommodating Australia's High Demand for Nurses
The Australian Government has recently released reports that reveal a high demand for nurses, midwives, dieticians, and physiotherapists. In fact, many employee recruiters and hiring managers are now considering help from foreign nurses, particularly those from the US, UK, Canada, and other predominantly English-speaking countries. That's great news for any American, British, or Canadian nurse that wants to move to Australia without sacrificing their salary. The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia has even set up a resource that internationally qualified nurses and midwives can use to get started.
Freedom to Live in Any Part of the Country
Whether you're interested in the hustle and bustle of Sydney or the lure of a small town like Port Douglas, there are always plenty of nursing jobs available in almost every region. Of course, conducting a thorough job search before moving will ensure that you're making your decision based on the promise of a job that you already have lined up. During your initial stay, you may want to spend time touring the different areas to determine where you'd most enjoy living and working.
The Option to Experience Other Countries As Well
Many traveling nurses choose to stay in one location for a few years and then move to the next. Australia is a great place to start your journey. Luckily, the demand for nurses will remain high in almost all developed countries as the population continues to expand.

Kalyn Ponga has had to overcome more than most to make his State of Origin debut for Queensland.
Only this week was it revealed that the 20-year-old suffered a life-threatening brain infection when he was in high school.
Kalyn has also spoken about the difficulty of losing his 18-month old brother Kacey in 2006.
Today several members of his family left New Zealand to make the trip to Sydney's ANZ Stadium on behalf of his uncle Nathaniel Ponga, who he credits as a huge inspiration, and who tragically passed away just weeks ago.
"Obviously we suffered a huge loss for our family just last month and this is one of our brother's dreams – to go [to watch Kalyn play State of Origin]," said family member Leon Blake at Auckland Airport.
"We're doing it for Kalyn but we do it also for our brother who passed away and we'll definitely be taking him with us, and I'm sure he'll be there smiling upon Kalyn as well as us. So we're happy to go on his behalf."
Just days after being diagnosed with leukaemia, Nathaniel passed away in Palmerston North where Kalyn spent much of his teenage years as a New Zealand under-13 golf champion. The death rocked the family, especially Kalyn who was preparing to play the Sharks the following day.
Because the Knights star was unable to leave Newcastle for the funeral his father Andre Ponga has organised for family, including Nathaniel's wife, to be brought into the Queensland changing rooms to reunite with Kalyn for the first time since the tragedy.
"I just mentioned to him that Tina and the Blake family are coming over which is pretty sentimental for us with the loss of Nate," said Andre.
"It's a pretty special debut for the Ponga whānau. There's a lot of meaning going into tonight's game. He's going to be excited to see the family in the sheds after the game – it's going to be a pretty special moment.
"People think Kalyn is inspirational to the family but in Kalyn's eyes Nate was the man."
Kalyn will make his debut off the bench as Queensland looks to level the series against New South Wales in Melbourne.
To mark the occasion, sports apparel brand Steedan have designed a custom head gear using Māori designs to represent Kalyn's heritage.
Tomorrow the Ponga family will travel to Newcastle where Kalyn now lives, having signed a four-year deal with the Knights.
"We're just looking forward to spending some quality time with each other," said Andre. "We always cherish those moments when we get together as family."

This simple practice of cherishing—noticing, appreciating, honoring, and encouraging one another—can reverse old patterns of "going through the motions" and bring hope and life into every marriage.
What Happy Couples Know, Andy Stanley
As long as you think your spouse owes you, your marriage will be all about keeping score. That destroys intimacy. It destroys love. But what are we supposed to do about our hopes, dreams, and desires?

By respecting the pursuit of that dream and following a tradition of trust and integrity, the Lawrence Management Company earned a reputation as a leader in residential real estate. In 1984, Lawrence Management merged with A.T. Houlihan, then the top Realtor in northern Westchester, creating Houlihan/Lawrence.

Tried deleting this post. I solved my own problem
However, this subject may be useful for others.
In general is it ok to use heat guns on pens with metal overlays such as silver or gold or any other metal? Would advice can you give for doing so. Especially since the metal can be so close to the area you need to heat.

It's only pushing things a bit to say that the fate of our country rests on the regulars of Dukey's, an ancient bar and restaurant in an industrial section of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Walter Terpak, known as Fuzzy, has been coming here for more than 55 years, he says, starting back when he was only 5 and would visit his second cousin, Dukey, who commanded the bar. Fuzzy has moved homes several times over the decades, but each place has been within 200 yards of Dukey's. Which means he has personally witnessed the near-collapse of this once-thriving manufacturing center.
"It's depressing," he said. "This was all hardworking families," he added, gesturing around the neighborhood. "They worked in the shoe factory next door. The brewery. Garment factories." He listed the factories that used to employ people in Wilkes-Barre, companies like Pressed Steel and American Chain and Cable. Billy, another regular sitting next to Fuzzy, helped with the list. "Hazard Iron," he said. "What was the big one in Pittston?" This time, Fuzzy had the answer: "Owens-Illinois. Gone overseas."
Based on the share of votes received by Donald Trump in contested Republican primaries, Wilkes-Barre and surrounding Luzerne County may be one of the presumed nominee's strongest bases in the country. Compared with the United States as a whole, the county is extremely white (more than 90 percent), relatively old and far less educated. More than three-quarters of Republicans here voted for Trump in the Pennsylvania primary.
In my conversations at Dukey's, patrons couched their support for Trump as entirely about two interrelated issues: trade and immigration. Trump recently gave his most significant economic-policy speech to date in the state, saying, "Many Pennsylvania towns, once thriving and humming, are now in a state of despair." And he placed the blame on trade, promising to force a renegotiation of the Nafta agreement with Canada and Mexico or, barring that, to nullify it. This echoes his website, which says he will, if elected president, "cut a better deal with China that helps American businesses and workers compete." He also promises to make the 11 million or so undocumented immigrants in America leave and, famously, to build a wall along the Mexico-United States border.
These positions have received near-unanimous derision from economists, who see them as crude and costly tools that would do little to increase the number of American manufacturing jobs or revitalize cities like Wilkes-Barre. But if opinion polls are to be believed, these views are extraordinarily popular — and they sure are popular at Dukey's. Trump will win this one bar in a landslide. Fuzzy, a lifelong Democrat, said he might lean toward Clinton, but on economic issues, he thinks that Trump has the best ideas.
While in town, I wrote down a list of every factory that once operated in the area and tried to learn why it closed. After coal mining disappeared in the 1950s, the region never had one dominant industry: There was shoemaking, dress making, some iron work, a small cluster of television manufacturing and a host of other businesses. They were, generally, industries with low capital investment and little requirement for skilled workers. And this turned out to be very bad news for the region, because businesses like that can close up shop and move elsewhere with minimal cost. For this reason, Luzerne County's manufacturing base began dying long before Nafta was ratified in 1994. I found a report from 1983 that chronicled the disappearance of more than half of Pennsylvania's shoemaking jobs over the previous 15 years. Several factories closed because of the relatively mild recession of 1991.
Was pre-Nafta trade the culprit? On balance, no. The history of one of the area's most important factories is particularly telling. Beginning in 1968, Owens-Illinois had a plant in Pittston, a city adjacent to Wilkes-Barre, that made glass panels for cathode-ray tubes used in televisions; at its peak, the factory employed 2,000 workers. By the late 1980s, it was clear that Americans wanted big TVs — 27-inch or larger — a size that would require the factory to install a much larger furnace and acquire complex new machinery.
Owens declined to make the investment, but despite this shortsighted decision, the plant wound up prospering for well over a decade — because of trade. A Japanese company, Nippon Electric Glass, entered into a joint venture with Owens in 1988 and bankrolled the investment that Owens's own executives wouldn't; by 1993, N.E.G. owned the factory outright, and it was thriving. And when the plant did finally close, in 2004, the jobs didn't go to Mexico or China. They disappeared entirely, because nobody wanted cathode-ray tube televisions anymore.
Thomas Baldino, who teaches political science at Wilkes University, across town from Dukey's, has a blunt assessment of Luzerne County's economic history. The country hasn't lost jobs to overseas competition, he says; instead, it has lost them in large part because of Pennsylvania's unusual commonwealth status, in which local governments enjoy a great deal of autonomy, making it nearly impossible to coordinate development efforts in the way that other regions have: to foster particular industries, for example, by creating partnerships between local schools, corporations and regional business groups. (In places where this model has worked, like Dayton, Ohio, and Greenville, S.C., the results have been fairly successful.)
Despite all this, Luzerne County is actually not a deeply depressed area. Its economy has grown moderately over the past decade. Luzerne's fastest-growing industry, one in which it ranks 13th in the country, is warehousing and storage — an industry driven largely by trade, as the flow of overseas imports has created a need to temporarily store them.
Wilkes-Barre even has a modest high-tech scene. Pepperjam, a surprisingly successful digital-marketing firm, is based here, employing 160 people — nearly all of them young graduates of local schools who most likely would have left town if not for this firm. Its office is the centerpiece of the Innovation Center at Wilkes-Barre, a technology-startup accelerator in which another 60 or so young, educated people work for a dozen newer start-ups: Mobiniti, which helps companies market through text messaging; Vitrius Glass, which makes energy-efficient windows; and several others.
The problem for displaced workers in the demographic I met at Dukey's — the same demographic that disproportionately supports Trump — is that none of these jobs are available to them. Pepperjam employs creative, college-educated people, while the growing warehousing field needs young workers with strong backs and few other options. The warehouses are disproportionately filled with newly arrived Latino workers, not the older local residents. But those immigrants aren't to blame; the displaced older workers couldn't do those jobs even if they wanted to. Nor are Nafta or China to blame. The economy has simply shifted, and older, less-educated workers are less in demand. If reducing trade did somehow bring new factories, they would — like nearly all American manufacturing facilities — rely heavily on machines, and what workers they did employ would need advanced technical training. The truth is that nobody, especially not Donald Trump, has a serious plan to help the older, less-educated workers who are flocking to support him.
The people at Dukey's are leaning his way, though they are not particularly enthusiastic about him. Everybody laughed about some of his more ridiculous statements; they agreed that he was awful on women and foreign policy. Fuzzy, who has two young adult sons, worries that a President Trump could start a war his boys might have to fight. Linda Prutzman, the bar's owner, told me that she couldn't understand why their town "is in the Dark Ages." She said she doesn't know if trade is to blame, or immigrants, or local political incompetence and corruption. Trump is the only public figure who's directly addressing her concerns and promising a solution. "We can turn it all around, and we can turn it around fast," he said in his Pennsylvania speech.
"I don't know if he can do it," Prutzman told me. She's not even sure she'll vote for him. But he's the one telling her what she needs — or at least wants — to hear.

The debate "The internet was supposed to be invented for military. Yet internet is common use and mostly unreg" was started by
Matthew354 on
June 2, 2018, 5:30 pm.
20 people are on the agree side of this discussion, while 9 people are on the disagree side.
People are starting to choose their side.
It looks like most of the people in this community are on the agreeing side of this statement.
Matthew354 posted 2 arguments to the agreers part.
Matthew354, be_ansua, chickboy1776 and 17 visitors agree.
YEET and 8 visitors disagree.
INTRANET is what he means i suppose
I'm not sure what your saying.
if your talking about in theory then of course I agree. but in reality the only major internet "regulation" in net neutrality. and that is less a regulation of what the internet can do, as much as ensuring that the privately companies that control access to the internet dont start doing their own regulation of traffic for their profit and everyone elses loss.
in theory, over regulation is obviously bad.
but in reality, what are you talking about? is it china? cause it's not the usa!
internet shouldn't be fully regulated. knowledge and power and we should keep knowledge available for everyone. the only things that should be regulated is like child pornography and stuff like that.
I didn't say it was, but that doesn't mean it should be heavily regulated like firearms and machine guns are.
Wrong, it was supposed to be for military use at first, based on the information DARPA's website.
thank goodness a private company didnt develop and copyright it.
it was invented by the military, but it was released for public and private consumption. it wasnt stolen or anything
the internet was invented for universities. where did you hear it was for the military?

First Time Florida Fishing Largemouth Bass
This is Capt Steve with fishing report for the St Johns River.
Today, we have something special for you. I had the pleasure to fish with Charlie and Tina. Traveling from Ocala, they wanted to experience something they have not done in a while or at all. Charlie hadn't fished in 50 years and Tina has never fished before.
It was an incredible exciting day of First Time Florida Fishing Largemouth Bass. These are the trips are cherished and remembered forever. Having a good time was the objective, catching a few largemouth bass along the way.
Fishing wild shiners, Charlie struck first. He was incredibly excited with the fish weighing 4 pounds. Tina then started jacking them. Charlie then landed one weighing 5 pounds.
The sunshine was all day long making it such a great day. You cannot ask for a better day.
Living in Ocala, I know they will return to the River. Until then, Tight Lines!!

I sometimes get surprised reactions when I advise B2B companies to advertise on Facebook. Surely Facebook advertising is meant for consumer businesses, and not businesses selling to other businesses!
Here's a little secret… Ultimately, ALL businesses sell to individuals.
You can advertise wherever you find your target audience. If you provide a software as a service (SaaS) platform for project managers, you can choose to target them and other corporate decision makers on Facebook.
What about other channels?
If B2B businesses can advertise wherever their target audience may be, why are they not on TV and other channels? It all boils down to economics. Unless your business has a broad appeal to a general audience, 90% of your TV advertising budget is wasted. This can make your entire TV ad campaign unprofitable.
But on Facebook, you can choose to spend your ad budget only on those most likely to be interested. That is the magic of targeting.
When clients tell me that Facebook advertising "doesn't work" for them, it is often the case that they are spending their budget on the wrong people. That makes their entire ad spend unprofitable.
Target wisely, and your Facebook ads (even as a B2B or nice business) will provide you with a good return.
Your 3 point action plan
1. Target narrowly
Especially in the early days, be very specific with the people you want to target. It doesn't matter if you end up missing some potential customers. Your objective is to ensure that the few people you decide to target are of the highest quality to you. This will ensure that you get a good return on ad spend (ROAS).
2. Retarget strongly
The best way to identify good leads are ultimately based on their interaction with you.
Have they watched your software tutorial videos on Facebook? Have they visited key pages (e.g. product features page) on your website? Have they downloaded a whitepaper? Have they requested a demo?
If so, serve them ads on Facebook. This, in addition to reaching your leads on other channels such as a phone call, email, or meeting, can help to convert them into customers.
3. Build a sales funnel
Make the most of every Facebook visit or lead that you pay for.
You should aim to convert visitors (whom you have no contact information about) into leads. Offer them a whitepaper in exchange for their email address. Ask them to sign up for a free demo by leaving contact details. Give them the opportunity to sign up to receive an ebook.
Leads should then be nurtured. You should have an omni-channel approach in place to nurture your leads. Over time, you should aim to reinforce brand awareness and affinity. Through a variety of content, demonstrate expertise and quality.
Finally, you should have a process in place to identify prospects which are both a good fit and who are ready to buy. Empower your sales team with contact notifications and lead scores so that they can quickly reach out to the most sales-ready prospects.

Monique Lhuillier: How To Find The Perfect Wedding Dress That's Right For You
When it comes to bridal, no one knows the industry quite like Monique Lhuillier, so we turned to the esteemed designer, (and celeb favorite!), for her expert tips on finding "the one" when you go shopping for a wedding dress. How do you know if the style is right for you?
Monique Lhuillier has over 20 years of experience dressing the best actresses in Hollywood and brides all around the world under her belt, which means she obviously knows a thing or two about finding the right dress — especially for your wedding day! We caught up with the designer following her Spring 2018 bridal show, where she offered up valuable tips that will definitely help you narrow down your dress search.
Although the initial process of "wedding dress shopping" can seem quite stressful, the designer said it all comes down to timing. "The best preparation is for a bride to give herself plenty of time to find the perfect dress. She doesn't want to be limited by timing!" Making sure you start the process in a timely fashion will ensure you'll have enough time to deliberate.
Trends can easily come and go, and Monique was inspired by more timeless styles for her latest collection. "This season I wanted to return to more traditional silhouettes while giving brides a grand, glamorous moment. My Spring 2018 collection features ballgowns enhanced with applique embellished capelets, pearl adorned boleros and crystal encrusted tulle gloves," she said.
Don't limit yourself to a specific silhouette before you even start trying on dresses — it's all about trying them on. "When choosing a wedding dress, it has little to do with silhouette or trend and everything to do with how the bride feels in the gown. I always tell brides to follow their instinct. Women look their best when they feel comfortable and beautiful and it is all about selecting a gown that makes a bride confident," she said.
