E-commerce and digital wallet giants starting from Amazon Pay, Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, are wooing the Valentine's Day couples with new cashbacks and reward points.
E-commerce giants and digital wallet companies – ranging from Amazon Pay, Google Pay, PhonePe to Paytm — are wooing the Valentine's Day couples with cashbacks and reward points. For instance, the Apple-HDFC Bank's Valentine's Day offer consists of up to Rs 7,000 cashback on iPhones, and a cashback of Rs 10,000 on iPads and MacBooks. Similarly, under its 'Fly High in Love' flight offer, Paytm is offering customers up to Rs 2,500 cashback on flights ticket bookings before the Valentine's Day. However, these cashbacks and reward points work differently and also vary from company to company. Experts suggest before opting for any of them, one should be well aware of their terms and conditions.
Difference between Cashback and Reward points
Cashback and reward points are slightly different. Cashback, unlike discounts, does not offer a flat reduction in the price of the product. It is a pre-determined percentage of money or an amount that is returned to the buyer on the purchase of a product or services. Reward points are also given, when you make a purchase, like cashbacks, but what you get are points, they are not cash, which could be converted into cash. The conversion of reward points to cash varies from company to company providing them.
To Earn you need to Spend first
To collect reward points and cashbacks or even to avail them, you need to spend first. This, however, varies across companies and platforms. Mostly, these companies and platforms firstly ask you to spend a certain amount of money, make a higher amount of purchase to be able to use your existing cashbacks and reward points. Experts suggest shoppers should be aware of these kinds of offerings. Make sure you don't end up spending in excess just to bag these incentives.
How to use them
The cashback and reward points vary depending on the company who is providing them. Some of these cashbacks can be fully used in any future transaction, whereas some have limits, that range from 5 per cent to 25 per cent of the amount spent. The conversion of reward points also varies. For instance, some companies treat one point as equal to Re.1, while others treat one point as equal to 25 paise.
Availing multiple offers
You can sometimes use multiple benefits that are offered on one transaction, or you can avail of only one. For instance, while making a purchase, you might see various offers and discounts on the use of credit or debit card, apart from cashbacks also being offered. In such a scenario you cannot avail both, you have to choose between either of the two offers. However, some brands depending on their tie-ups, offer more than one benefit. For instance, in the Nearbuy app, if you are reserving seats in a restaurant, you can avail the discount being offered by the restaurant on the app along with additional cashbacks (if offered by the app) that can be used for future bookings via the app.
Disclose your personal information
Some of the e-commerce websites and apps offer additional reward points if you are prepared to disclose your personal information with them. For instance, if you are willing to give them access to your phone's contacts. Goibibo's loyalty reward programme offers its customers to earn more through sync contacts, updating member profile, referrals, social gratifications, and business profile.

Once upon a cold fall day, I was feeling restless in the city. My spidey sense was tingling and I knew that something amazing was going to take place by the end of the day. A new food truck had hit the streets and I was eager to try it out, but because of my schedule, I hadn't been able to visit. Suddenly, with no warning, a cloud shifted to the left, the sun came out and WHAM! – my schedule cleared. It was at that moment I knew what had to be done. I had a mission that required accomplishing: find Herb'n Food Truck.
Since that fated trip, I've enjoyed tasty morsels crafted by the owner of Herb'n Food Truck, Taylor, on several occasions. Meeting Taylor is not a moment one can forget. You'll be immediately drawn into his passion for food, and if he slows down enough, you'll be able to stare into his dreamy eyes and watch as they light up when he talks about his mission to serve the absolute best quality food he can get his hands on. Taylor's philosophy regarding what we put into our bodies is consistent. His passion resonates with every ingredient, every plate. His desire to bring awareness to the harmful effects of hormones in foods is powerful. His mission is to change the way we view food and how we nourish ourselves.
Recently Taylor and his family announced the opening of Herb'n Cafe, at 1252 Hill Rd N. in Pickerington, Ohio. I had the pleasure of visiting during opening week and sample a few things in the kitchen. Ya'll know what's next right? PICTURES!!
Driven and inspired by his intuitive desire to heal, help, and nourish, the menu at Herb'n Cafe will not disappoint. You'll blown away by the complex taste and the stunning appearance of every dish. The location opens at 7:30 each day, with shorter hours on Sunday to serve breakfast and lunch. As is common with many locally owned restaurants, Herb'n Cafe is closed on Monday. Click here to check out their Facebook page.
Until next time, let's keep it local!


text: JR 500系 Posted August 16, 2018 Hi guys could I ask if anyone who is using Windows 10, what is the movie editor software you are using to edit your videos? I used to use the default Windows Movie Maker, but it is no longer available now in Windows 10 and I cant find another movie maker that is just as easy to operate as the old Movie Maker... The other softwares I have tried on the net are either too complex, too expensive, not user friendly or I just couldn't bear to pay US$29.90 for a software... Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance!

There's no shortage of restaurants if you live in Los Angeles. Between the wide array of foods available, and the cultural melting pot at hand, we have access to a little bit over everything. There are, of course, some pricier places that can't be frequent ed as often as others. But oh how they beckon.
From Jan 27-Feb 1 and Feb 3-Feb 8, 2008 (that's 2 weeks excluding Saturdays), Dine L.A. has gathered a fine list of restaurants in the area that will offer a selection of three-course menus at special prices (per person excluding beverages, tax and gratuity):
Deluxe Dining:$15$25
Premier Dining:$22$34
For example, you could order the following for lunch at Cafe Pinot in Downtown L.A. for $22:
Appetizer: Grilled Market Vegetable Chopped Salad with Buffalo Mozzarella, "Antiqua," and Yuzu Avocado Dressing
Entree: Colorado Leg of Lamb Rotisserie, Roasted Garlic Jus, Winter Root Vegetable
Dessert: Heirloom Apple Crumble with Lychee Caramel Sauce and Vanilla Ice Cream
Or perhaps you'd like a South American dinner at Ciudad for $34:
Appetizer: Arugula and Celery Root Salad with Spiced Pepita Seeds, Pomegranate, Shaved Manchego and Lemon Vinaigrette
Entree: Carnitas - Slow Roasted Niman Ranch Pork served with Mashed Yucas, Black Beans, Fried Plantains and Grilled Corn Salsa (BTW...this dish as amazing)
Dessert: Tres Leches Cake with Passion Fruit and Prickly Pear Sauces
In the mood for Italian? How about a $15 lunch at Angeli Caffe:
Appetizer: Eggplant Croquettes
Entree: Beet Ricotta Gnocchi with Butter and Sage
Dessert: Chocolate Chunk Bread Pudding
But an Asian dinner for $25 from Culver City's Beacon also sounds tempting, dontcha think?
Appetizer: Stir-fried Mushroom Salad with Manchego, Spiced Almonds and Yuzu Dressing
Entree: Crispy Fish and Chips with Yuzu Tartar Sauce and Asian Slaw
Dessert: Farmers Market Seasonal Fruit Crisp with Vanilla Ice Cream
Tempted? Check out the list for more restaurants and other menu options. And if you are lucky enough to go, reservations are highly recommended.
Bon Appetit! Velbekomme! E ʻai ka-kou! Kainan na! Buen Provecho! Eat already!!

Tree Assets Pack
- This assets pack contains 2 different trees: Pine Tree and Ash Tree
- Usually, when you are working on a render, for example, a house or an interior you need to throw something on the windows and the most useful element are the trees.
- They are very time consuming but they offer good result. So I created this pack to help you with your renders at just 4$.

Our Stance
Property taxes are the major source of funding for schools and local services. Prop 5 is a costly constitutional amendment that would reduce funds for schools and local services by $1 billion per year. In exchange for that $1 billion a year, Prop 5 would provide special tax benefits to some property owners. It does nothing to help low-income seniors, or families struggling to find housing. Seniors already have the ability to keep their tax break when they downsize. Prop 5 drains California's coffers of money that is essential to schools and communities.

Horoscopes for July 7th, 2019 to July 14th, 2019
Horoscopes for July 7th, 2019 to July 14th, 2019
July 8th presents a painful square between Venus in Cancer and Chiron in Aries. Relationships, money or self-esteem will be highly sensitive areas where what you want makes you feel vulernable. But Venus also makes an encouraging sextile to Uranus in Taurus, which is a gentle nudge forward- there's something better coming up, despite the pain. Self-sufficiency is key.
July 8th also presents a conjunction between Mercury Rx and Mars in Leo, which will emphasize actions plus words. Questions or reviews about acting from a place of pride/power/ego will intensify what must be done. As Chiron in Mars-ruled Aries stations Rx, wounds and the courage to face them will also be intensified. This day can be a hot turning point where you must confront something uncomfortable.
July 9th sees the Cancer Sun passing over the North Node and opposing Saturn Rx and the Capricorn South Node. As rules/limits from the past define the moment and increase the pressure, you'll have nowhere to go but forward.
Finally, July 11th brings a disruptive square between Uranus and Mars, triggering accidents, risky behaviour or explosions of anger. But Mars also trines Chiron Rx, so if you can harness this energy with care and awareness, this can be a liberating influence that helps you confront Chiron's intensified wounds.
Aspects to Venus in your domestic sector (including the square to Chiron in your sign) can stir up uncomfortable family issues or hi-light where you're not getting what you want at home. Nonetheless, you're encouraged to gradually explore new sources of income, security and self-esteem- it's time to redefine what you want. Chiron Rx in your sign suggests these events will trigger a second look at where you're feeling insecure.
Aspects to Mars in your sector of self-expression (including the trine to Chiron Rx in your sign) suggest that you'll also be rethinking actions around a new attraction, creative work, performance or celebration. You may be honing in on what you have to do regarding core purpose and desires. Or, you may reconnect with a hot attraction from the past. Events can be surprising, and you may be forced to do something quite assertive in order to express yourself – know that this is part of the process of addressing doubts or wounds. You may have to fight for your right to express yourself.
The Sun in your domestic sector conjunct the North Node and opposing Saturn Rx hi-lights new and important territory at home/with family. Issues involving career, authority and status will be involved as you're encouraged to develop what matters on an internal level. In some cases, there may be a professional ending that allows you to pour your energy into your home life.
Aspects to Venus in your communication sector can stir up painful conversations about love, affection or wants. Perhaps you become aware of what you're missing or can't have. Background wounds or fears are at the root of this, but Venus' sextile to Uranus in your sign encourages you to put it out there anyway. Speak your truth and say it in your own way. Chiron Rx in your hidden sector is a subtle but important influence that can intensify a hidden/unacknowledged wound.
Aspects to Mars in your domestic sector suggest that you may be revisiting an old family argument or revising construction or relocation plans. There could be added emphasis on one issue of anger/pride, or questions about family developments. The square to Uranus in your sign can push you to an enough's-enough moment where you jump in, cut the cord or move forward. Know that this will be an important part of acknowledging what's been hidden. However, use some caution as domestic accidents are a risk.
The Sun in your communication sector conjunct the North Node and opposing Saturn Rx hi-lights a crucial conversation, announcement or realization. Old rules regarding education, travel, legal matters or publishing will define what you're walking away from, which in turn will define your new, more emotional expression of ideas. In some cases there could be an official document or graduation.
Aspects to Venus in your sector of personal resources indicate social issues that can negatively impact your self-esteem or finances. You may feel that you're "less than" others, but pay attention to the background encouragement to explore a different source of revenue or values. Social anxiety can be an issue – tap into your private source of freedom. Chiron Rx in your social sector can emphasize certain social anxieties or hi-light a friendship/aspect of your public image that makes you feel exposed.
Aspects to Mars in your communication sector can see you asking aggressive questions, getting drawn back into an old argument or focusing on a specific idea that you're trying to manifest. This can be a good time to revisit a "words plus action" scenario in order to make it happen. Too, someone else may push you rethink how you walk your talk. Hidden prompts can trigger surprising outbursts, and while you'll have to be careful that you don't burn any essential bridges with your fiery words, getting it all out there can help you address social vulnerabilities.
The Sun in your sector of personal resources conjunct the North Node and opposite Saturn Rx can encourage you to focus on what you want rather than someone else's rules. While obligations around debts, taxes, your partner's finances or intimacy cannot be ignored (and will define how you move forward) your primary focus is on creating a lifestyle that nurtures you.
Aspects to Venus in your sign indicate professional insecurities, or a personal relationship/image that creates trouble for your professional image. Perhaps you feel less than successful, accomplished or capable. Nonetheless, others (the public, friends, social inspiration) will gently encourage you to be yourself and express newly emerging values that hi-light your individuality. Chiron Rx in your career sector can press down on a specific issue with management or your professional image, while encouraging you to rethink any aspects of your career that are less than authentic.
Aspects to Mars in your sector of personal resources can see you questioning actions around earned money or pursuing what you want. While the emphasis will be on your core desires, you may have to rethink how you earn or express your values. Watch for an unexpected impulse that pushes you to spend or fight for what you want. Watch your money, but know that healthy self-expression (even if it's impulsive) can help you deal with professional issues. You may be prompted to pursue a new and unusual line of income.
The Sun in your sign conjunct the North Node and opposing Saturn Rx illuminates a key relationship issue that pushes you examine your own needs. A commitment, ending or a parter's rules may feel restrictive, and you'll have to decide if you're walking away or using the pressure to clarify your path forward.
Aspects to Venus in your hidden sector can stir up hidden wounds based on fears of exploration or stepping into uncharted and public territory. You may be doubting a secret attraction or desire, but know that newly emerging future goals encourage you to explore what's unusual, or what they said you shouldn't do. Chiron Rx in your sector of opportunities can see you taking a second look at travel, education, legal matters or publishing- specifically, areas where you feel unprepared or nervous about venturing outside your comfort zone.
Aspects to Mars in your sign (including the conjunction with Mercury Rx) will emphasize a specific combination of words and actions – you may be questioning if it was the right thing to do. Or, you may be given a second chance to back up your claims with action. Eventually, you'll be pushed to take a risk, and some caution is warranted – while it's important to express yourself (and this will be a valuable opportunity to confront any fears of the unknown or to put your power behind a cause that's ignited your passion) know that you can go too far. Try to balance courage with carelessness.
The Sun in your hidden sector conjunct the North Node and opposite Saturn Rx is yet another nudge towards an ultimate goal. Work or health responsibilities can make you feel as if you're stuck in the grinding routine, but you can use the pressure to focus on what you're trying to develop.
Aspects to Venus in your social sector can stir up social embarrassments, especially regarding an attraction or your public image. While the triggers may be quite private, what happens in public could put you on the spot. However, there is also encouragement for you to explore a new area of expression or reach out to a new audience. Chiron Rx in your sector of shared resources can intensify a private wound involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner's finances or intimacy. Psychological issues or issues around trusting may require you to go a couple of layers deeper.
Aspects to Mars in your hidden sector suggest private questions or second thoughts about actions/passions that are secret or unacknowledged. What you've been ignoring or holding back can be emphasized by research or the private conversation between you and another. Watch for an external prompt to trigger unexpected developments or a surge of anger/initiative in your blind spot. What happens behind the scenes can be crucial for addressing Chiron Rx's wounds, as you tap into deeper levels of courage or address an uncomfortable topic (including sexual issues).
The Sun in your social sector conjunct the North Node and opposing Saturn Rx hi-lights a new friendship, aspect of your public image or group association. Responsibilities or restrictions regarding what you want to express or create can make you hesitant to move forward, but know that the future is about what feels authentic to you, and who supports this. At the same time, you have a responsibility to your audience or yourself- are you taking your talents seriously?
Aspects to Venus in your career sector suggest a partner or competitor can trigger embarrassments or issues that undermine your professional image. Too, a professional relationship can reveal some less pleasant qualities. However, this is still your moment to tap into hidden reserves of change and innovation- proceed with caution while you liberate yourself from old values (or an unhappy relationship). Chiron Rx in your relationship sector indicates that a partner's wounds, or painful relationship issues, may become more obvious and concentrated. Consider if your projected issues are a factor.
Aspects to Mars in your social sector can see you reviewing or revisiting public actions, or returning to a previous argument with a friend. Too, you may decide to go back and take action on a public level as your assertiveness or anger is triggered. This can be a liberating but impulsive influence – remember that all actions will impact your reputation and will be seen by many. Make sure you're not burning any bridges. At the same time, moving forward can help you address painful relationship issues, as long as you're conscious of the impact on others.
The Sun in your career sector conjunct the North Node and opposite Saturn Rx hi-lights a new career opportunity, future goal or possible reward. You may feel weighed down by domestic responsibilities, but know that the home/family issues you're wrapping up are turning your focus to the future.
Aspects to Venus in your sector of opportunities can stir up insecurities or painful realizations around a long-distance romance, travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Practical issues can interfere with what you want, but a one-on-one relationship can still signal freedom while encouraging you to hope for more, even if this happens in a way you didn't anticipate. Chiron Rx in your sector of routine sees you concentrating on a flaw, weakness or area where you feel unprepared.
Aspects to Mars in your career sector indicate a revision of ambitions or questions about your next step regarding professional image/career future. Too, you could decide that an issue from the past requires more effort. A partner or competitor can push you to take a leap or assert yourself in surprising ways. While this can help you work through concerns around routine or health, remember that your professional image will be impacted.
The Sun in your sector of opportunities conjunct the North Node and opposite Saturn Rx can hi-light the next step forward regarding travel, education, legal matters or publishing. It's time to put your faith in the unknown, even as you're dealing with restrictive documents, rules or ideas. In some cases, this could mark an official conclusion or decision that frees you up to move forward.
Aspects to Venus in your sector of shared resources can stir up insecurities or deep pain regarding debts, taxes, your partner's finances or intimacy. Lack of trust could be an issue, or your own doubts about being attractive. Pay attention to the quiet but insistent pull that encourages you to free yourself from old health or work habits – tap into changes that need to occur on a mundane level in order to free yourself on a deeper level. Chiron Rx in your sector of self-expression can emphasize issues of rejection, doubt about your talent or fears that you're not special. The purpose is to develop the courage to express yourself, even when it's not easy.
Aspects to Mars in your sector of opportunities can raise questions about a relocation, long-distance trip or actions around education, legal matters or publishing. Too, you could be returning to a past issue and decide to raise your voice (finally) in order to fight for a cause or assert your rights. This energy can be volatile and risky, encouraging you to take risks. While this can raise your confidence, you'll have to balance this out with the fact that you're heading into new territory. Use extra caution while travelling.
The Sun in your sector of shared resources conjunct the North Node and opposite Saturn Rx hi-lights a gut truth regarding finances or intimacy. Your responsibilities to yourself (including financial and emotional self-sufficiency) will define where it's healthy to trust and where it's better to concentrate on your own needs.
Aspects to Venus in your relationship sector suggest painful moments with a partner, triggered by family issues or old wounds. There could be disagreements about domestic issues that end up going deeper than you anticipated. A partner may insist on their freedom, and if you can honour this it could actually lighten the mood. Chiron Rx in your domestic sector can increase the pressure regarding family wounds, painful memories or doubts about domestic security. Now is the time to face your personal insecurities or confront a weakness in your foundation.
Aspects to Mars in your sector of shared resources can raise questions (or deeper research) about debts, taxes, your partner's finances or intimacy. Hidden actions (by another) can prompt difficult conversations, or they may assert themselves suddenly. While another's actions can disrupt your security (financial and emotional) know that this is part of moving through domestic wounds that have been ignored. It's time to have the deeply uncomfortable discussions.
The Sun in your relationship sector conjunct the North Node and opposite Saturn Rx in your sign signals progress in a partnership. Your responsibilities, commitments or authority will define the matter, whether this involves an ending or a defined new chapter.
Aspects to Venus in your sector of routine can stir up painful health or work issues. What you were hoping for can be undermined by upsetting news/diagnoses. Or, excess responsibilities can make you feel that you'll never be appreciated or have time to enjoy your life. However, if you can tap into ongoing changes at home/with family, know that you can free yourself from oppressive habits. There's something deeper going on – a shift away from the past (and old traditions) towards a new way of living. You just need to align your daily habits with this. Chiron Rx in your communication sector can emphasize a very difficult conversation or observation that can't be avoided any longer.
Aspects to Mars in your partnership sector can see you reconnecting with someone from the past, or revisiting an old argument. A partner may push you to talk about what you'd rather ignore, but this is a necessary part of dealing with the discomfort. However, be prepared for surprising actions (or anger)from another.
The Sun in your sector of routine conjunct the North Node and opposing Saturn Rx hi-light a key health or work issue. Background limits or fears can feel heavy and (at times) impossible to work around, but know that you're on track to a new way of living. The key is leaving behind what you know no longer works.
Aspects to Venus in your sector of self-expression can trigger painful situations around a new attraction, creative work, performance or celebration. Overindulging, overspending or putting yourself out there can hi-light doubts about what you have to offer (or make you wish you never went there). However, there's a whisper of new ideas/decisions that are encouraging you to approach this differently. It's ok to stand out even if you make some mistakes. Chiron Rx in your sector of personal resources emphasizes financial insecurities or painful realizations about values and self-esteem.
Aspects to Mars in your sector of routine can see you doubling down on a flaw, correction or area of work/health that requires a second look. You may need to try again or try harder, and this can help you address financial or emotional insecurities. But be wary of reacting by taking on too much or pushing a health/work issue past its limits. Accidents are a risk if you allow anger or panic to dominate.
The Sun in your sector of self-expression opposing Saturn Rx encourages you to focus on what you have that's special. Social judgments, or endings with friends/groups can be discouraging, but you can use that as fuel to adjust your focus on your future.

Barrett's Book Notes: Thomas Aquinas
Brian Davies. Thomas Aquinas: A Very Brief History. SPCK, 2017.
It has been very encouraging to see a renaissance of interest in Thomas Aquinas. For far too long evangelicals have put Thomas aside, allowing Roman Catholics to claim him. That is a mistake. Thomas has much to say that is of great value for Protestants, even if we take issue with certain conclusions he draws. But I realize that a figure like Thomas, given the massive size of his Summa, is daunting, to say the least. That's why this recent, and very brief, introduction to Thomas by Brian Davies is most welcome. In around 120 pages Davies introduces the novice to the most important contributions of Thomas's thought. The last chapter, "Thinking About Aquinas Today," demonstrates why Thomas is relevant for contemporary theological and apologetic discussions today. This is a great place to start for those of you fearful to take on this colossal theologian.
Brian Davies. Thomas Aquinas's Summa Contra Gentiles: A Guide and Commentary. Oxford University Press, 2016.
If you enjoy Davie's little introduction to Thomas, then you may want to press on and explore his commentary to a major work of Thomas: the Summa Contra Gentiles. The SCG is a classic work and may be second in importance to Thomas's Summa Theologiae (who knows!), in which Thomas utilizes not only revelation but reason to give a logical explanation for the type of knowledge we have of God. What's amazing about this book is that you have, in just one volume, a guide. I would recommend reading Davies's commentary alongside the SCG, allowing his insights to enlighten Thomas's argument.
Thomas Aquinas. Questions on Love and Charity. Yale University Press, 2016.
As profitable as it is to read commentaries and introductions to Thomas, the best practice is always reading Thomas for yourself. Only then will you begin to understand his thought directly. Robert Miner, the editor, and translator has done us a great favor, giving us questions 23-46 of Thomas's Summa Theologiae, Secunda Secundae, making available an accessible and fresh version of Thomas's thought on these biblically rich Christian virtues. This volume will be ideal for classroom use and it will also go a long way in reminding theologians today that the best thinkers of the past moved from doctrine to the Christian life, rather than relegating the latter to others. Also, there is a bonus at the end, with a section of essays by Jeffrey Bernstein, Dominic Doyle, Mark Jordan, Robert Miner, and Sheryl Overmyer.
Brian Davies and Eleonore Stump, eds. The Oxford Handbook of Aquinas. Oxford University Press, 2012.
Seriously, these OUP handbooks are addicting. I know many other scholars are with me. This recent one will not disappoint either, with a large variety of contributors touching on Thomas's wide canon. I also appreciated the "Chronological List of Aquinas's Writings" at the end, which helps put his publishing development into perspective. Here are some chapters that may be of special interest:
The Five Ways (Timothy Pawl)
God's Simplicity (Eleonore Stump)
God's Impassibility, Immutability, and Eternality (Brian Leftow)
God's Omnipotence (Brian Leftow)
The Limits of Language and the Notion of Analogy (Brian Davies)
Providence and the Problem of Evil (Eleonore Stump)
The Trinity (Giles Emery)
Incarnation (Michael Gorman)
The Development of Aquinas's Thought (Giorgio Pini)
Dominic Legge. The Trinitarian Christology of St Thomas Aquinas. Oxford University Press, 2017.
If you've read the books above, and are feeling brave, then Legge's volume is your next stop. While subjects like faith and reason, nature and grace, and the attributes of God typically receive attention, Legge turns our attention to the interface of two doctrines that were critical for the formation of Thomas's thought: Trinity and Christology. Legge begins with Eternal Processions and moves to the divine missions of the Godhead, only to transition in part 2 to an explanation for why the Son became incarnate. Included is an in-depth treatment of the hypostatic union according to Thomas as well. But what may be missed in the title of the book is the fact that part 3 turns to the relationship between Christ and the Spirit. Legge's target is Karl Rahner, challenging the latter's claim that Thomas fails to read Christology through a trinitarian lens. Legge argues that a proper reading of Thomas cannot sustain Rahner's claim. All in all, this book, though historical in orientation, demands engagement from systematics as Thomas's trinitarianism is retrieved and applied to Christology. Don't miss, by the way, Gilles Emery's Foreword, too.
Matthew Barrett is Associate Professor of Christian Theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, as well as the founder and executive editor of Credo Magazine. He is the author of several books, including 40 Questions About Salvation; God's Word Alone: The Authority of Scripture, Reformation Theology: A Systematic Summary; Salvation by Grace, and Owen on the Christian Life.

Quincy Promes has a release clause which can be triggered this January, but no clubs have made a formal offer for the talented Dutch winger.
That's according to Spartak Moscow general director Sergey Rodionov, who has broken his club's silence on the future of the 24-year-old.
Suarez's 25-year-old team-mate speaks up future Liverpool transfer
"Rumours, but no offers," Rodionov told Russian paper Sport Express. "Spartak have not received anything, and have no plans to let Promes leave.
"Yes [he has a release clause]. But how much – I do not tell. We will try [to keep him]."
Liverpool's interest in the Netherlands international, a team-mate of Gini Wijnaldum, was made public by the Echo in November – and since – fans have been keeping a close eye on his progress.
Since transferring to Russia in 2014, Promes has plundered 37 goals in just 72 league appearances, mighty impressive considering he plays on either flank and not centrally.
We're going to lose Sadio Mane to the AFCON in January, and Promes would be the perfect natural replacement. He's rapid, skilful and provides end product, much like our Senegalese flyer has this campaign.
Hopefully the release clause Rodionov mentions is affordable; and the fact he isn't publicising it hints that it is.
Jurgen Klopp wants another wide-man who can immediately influence the first-team and Promes may be the man. Time will tell of course, as Christian Pulisic is clearly the primary target.

Why accurate recording of allergens is essential in the EYFSDecember 6, 2018 2:06 pm
It may now have been a few years since new allergens laws came into place. We understand that many of you will already be practising allergy friendly and safe childcare, however, with the recent news about companies failing to protect customers with allergies, we thought it was important to remind you of why allergen awareness is so vital.
In this article we are going to talk about:
- What food allergy is and which is the most common in children
- Recent news and the effect that lack of allergen information can have on an allergy sufferer
- How this information relates to an Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Settings
- How to cater for food allergies in your setting
1.What is a food allergy and which is the most common in children?
A food allergy is a medical condition in which the exposure to a certain food triggers a harmful immune response. The symptoms of an allergic reaction to food can range from mild such as itchy mouth, a few hives, swollen lips or eyes, to a more severe reaction such as nausea, vomiting, difficulty breathing and death. Serious food allergies can have a huge affect on the quality of life for many adults and children.
Recent figures confirmed that toddlers are up to twice as likely to be admitted to hospital with an allergic reaction than the elderly. The most common food allergies amongst toddlers and young children are nuts, cow's milk and eggs. Other foods that can cause a reaction include wheat, fish and shellfish, but many international children may have an adverse reaction to other types of food depending on their country of origin. For example, many southern European children may be allergic to peaches or apples.
2. Recent news and the effect that lack of allergy information can have on an allergy sufferer
In the UK, an estimated 2 million people are living with food allergies, 5-8% of these are children (Allergy UK).
Muriel Simmons, the chief executive of the charity Allergy UK says, ''What is worrying is that the number of children with severe allergies such as nut has tripled in the last 10 years.''
The most talked about case you may have read about is Natasha Ednan-laperouse who suffered a fatal reaction to sesame in a Pret A Manger baguette after purchasing it at a cafe in Heathrow airport in 2016.
A year later, Celia Marsh from Melksham passed away after eating one of Pret's 'super-veg rainbow flatbreads' that was meant to be dairy-free.
According to the EU regulations, sesame is one of the 14 allergens that consumers must be made aware of when it is used as an ingredient in food products. However, current UK regulations mean that some foods, such as freshly made non-packaged foods like the baguette Ednan purchased, do not fall under these rules.
These 2 cases show us how serious a food allergy can be and highlight the importance of accurately recorded allergy information.
Allergy UK are now calling for changes to regulations for food chains preparing food on their premises.
FSA, Allergy UK and the Anaphylaxis campaign have created a campaign called #easytoASK which works to encourage people, especially young people and children, to ask for allergen information when they are eating out. These charities agree it is the reasonability of companies as well as allergy suffers (or their parents) to check the allergy information when buying food out, but more does need to be done to make food allergy labelling clearer.

When was the last time you visited a new place or a country? Did you have a list of expectations and things that you wanted to do? Perhaps you have saved some most especially when you are going to stay there for quite some time.
Kiho is one of our Korean students who's been studying and staying in the academy for 2 months. Prior to coming here, he had some expectations about Philippines. It was a delight to hear about his experiences while studying English in Baguio. He said he has no regrets and is in fact enjoying how he discovered new activities in Baguio while polishing his English skills.
Kiho's agency recommended a lot of schools to him but due to his friend's suggestion, he chose Pines. The fact that a lot of Koreans go to Pines also influenced his decision.
Kiho's 6 Unique Experiences
- First thing that surprised me when I came here was the distance from Manila to Baguio. I didn't expect it to be far, but I like the weather here. Since Baguio is located on top of mountains, the weather is not hot. I enjoy going around the lovely city with my friends during weekends.
- In Pines, international staffs make sure we are really following the English only policy. This is good although it's a little bit difficult especially when I don't know the words that could help me express myself to a friend. I was tempted to speak in my mother tongue, but I didn't . Of course this is a challenge! I guess it made me tougher and wiser English speaker because I became a better speaker in a matter of weeks.
- Classrooms are similar to a maze. I always get lost looking for my room. I gained more chances of speaking in English and use the expressions I have learned . It's almost similar to traveling. (Haha)
- The dormitory is better than what I've expected. I have thought before that the dormitories were small and a little dirty, but it turned out to be wide, clean and new.
- On weekends, there are many people downtown (on Session Road). It's lively and amazing to me because I get to just see them. Most people smile, and I feel safe in Baguio City.
- I was really glad that I got to experience riding on a horse at Wright Park as it is near Pines Academy. It was fun and exciting. For the first few minutes, a guide helped me;but after a while, I got to do it on my own. It's scary but exciting at the same time. Horse riding is expensive in Korea; it's a delight that I have experienced it in Baguio.
There are a lot of surprising and unexpected experiences while studying English Baguio City. I am thankful that within the bounds of my study period I have unique experiences that made me a better person and a great English speaker. Thanks a lot Pines Academy. I will never forget these things even when I go back to Korea.

...seems my last entry dates from 2 years ago (or almost).
Facebook reminded me that it had been 10 years since I'd set up my account. I know that for a time, I didn't use it; but for years now, it's been my primary social media outlet -- even though I fully recognise it leaves quite a bit to be desired. The thing is, the vast majority of my friends and family (both online and real-life) are there, so it's simply the easiest way to stay in touch with everyone (or almost everyone).
So, what's been going on with me, then?
I'm unemployed again, my 6th such period since my being made redundant from hp coincided with the global recession which is now, we are told, coming to its end. At the same time, I might add, as being told that the next one is just around the corner. The last 10 years have not been easy; holidays and travel have come to a standstill, but I still have a roof over my head and food in the larder, so it's all relative.
Mum has just celebrated her 85th birthday, though she doesn't believe she has much to celebrate there. She's been diagnosed as being in the early stages of dementia, hates the fog of confusion that descends on her at irregular intervals, and has difficulty walking and keeping her balance, so spends most of her days sat on the couch watching television. I take care of her the best I can, dropping in 3 or 4 times a week, doing the groceries, looking after her financial affairs, and trying to keep her entertained; but she misses her sisters and her friends who have all died, leaving her alone and lonely.
My own health has taken a turn for the worse as well: three weeks ago, I was told the coughing, shortness of breath and pain in the side was caused not by a persistent cold as I thought myself, but by lung embolisms in both lungs. Which I and my doctors still don't know how I could have gotten: I have not been on a long-haul flight, nor have I had any abdominal surgery in recent weeks. I don't suffer from varicose veins, or thrombosis in either legs or arms. I don't engage in sports or work out, but neither am I completely sedentary: I cycle and walk long distances. Finally, I do not appear to have breast or intestinal cancer. Anyway, I'm on blood thinners now, likely to be for the rest of my life; and slowly but surely, I'm getting my strength back.
Well, this is awkward...

Language For Fun: Brigitte Lacoste
Language For Fun: Brigitte Lacoste
Brigitte had extensive business experience. When I first met Jessica a few years ago, French For Fun was still in its infancy. I felt attracted straight away to the idea of teaching French to adults in a relaxed environment where all learners would feel safe to experiment with the language and grow their confidence in speaking.
Although I did German and English up to Master's level in France, my professional experience was built around Sales and Marketing at managerial level both in France and in England. The closest I had ever been to teaching has been in delivering training sessions for my sales teams. The French For Fun's training I received as a pilot Licensee has given me the skills and confidence I needed to get started. Running French For Fun classes has allowed me to reconnect with my life-long love for languages while still making great use of my professional skills in setting up and thriving as a self employed.
Although my initial launch in September 2010 did not really go as planned, the project really took off in January 2011 with my first 2 classes bringing in 16 students. I opened a third class in April. This term I am running 6 classes, all fully booked and am looking forward to extending further. French For Fun is a fantastic product!
The ready-made classes are easy to deliver while still leaving scope for flexibility to adapt to the group's profile and expectations as well as to your own style. Learners love the model as it gives them a solid structure to rely on and plenty of opportunities to practise and speak in a friendly environment. Alors… French For Fun ?… Oui, j'adore!

Underdogs Gallery is proud to present "A pedra e o charco" a solo exhibition by André da Loba in Lisbon, Portugal.
"A pedra e o charco" is a staging of visual multiples, convergent or divergent, complementary or opposite, disposed openly in the gallery space, where viewers are invited to trace their own narrative route, to let themselves be carried by the interpretative possibilities contained in the elements presented by the artist, so as to compose, in either an intuitive or pondered way, their own stories.
According to André da Loba:
"Thirty-two panels, six sculptures and one book. Individuals in convergence. Here, distant instants are grouped into fortunate coincidences. Or unfortunate. Improbable relationships that either converge or diverge. Quotidian feelings that move in the direction of a new understanding between the ordinary and the extraordinary.
This exhibition proposes multiple interpretations. A city that can be covered by way of small groups, the neighbourhoods. Or by way of colours, or bizarre inhabitants or random steps. Or even dancing. A beginning of a comic book questioning the limits of illustration. Art?
Since you're here, throw some stones into this pond. Disturb its smooth surface. Observe thus the interior of these characters as if it were your own: free fall, flight, volcano, explosion, silence, reflection, aggregation, dissolution. Dreams, disillusionments, perhaps love, some pain, the stone, the pond.
What I hope is that with this you'll want to create worlds as strange as they can be. That when you come by you'll bring something new and take with you a unique, unrepeatable story."

A PERUVIAN lager supplied by two former Huddersfield University students has landed on the shelves at off-licence chain Threshers.
The lager, called Cusquena, is marketed by Kieron Barton and Gareth Whittle, who run Chilli Marketing.
Cusquena, which has won the Superior Taste award from the International Taste and Quality Institute of Belgium, is brewed using pure glacial water from 18,000ft in the Andes.
The lager is already stocked by Sainsbury's, Asda and Tesco as well as a host of pubs and bars across the north.
Chilli Marketing, based in Manchester, was set up in 2004 by marketing graduates Mr Whittle and Mr Barton, who started importing Cusquena after first sampling it as tourists in 2003.

Splendid Copper Headboard
Topic grouped as: rhinestone beads, rhinestone furniture
splendid copper headboard could allow it to a cozy and comfy area to alleviate busy and tired. You ought to fulfill your headboard with refreshing paint colours. Moreover, the full hues with emotional aspects are related straight into one's emotional condition. Coral pink can be an inspiration of paint colors. It seems so feminine. Don't reject a reddish colour nuance because it is looked upon as childish and no top quality. Otherwise, the pink coloring reflects the brand new tone. You may decide on an inspiring coral pink for the rhinestone furniture. It's refreshing and looks thus mature.
The next thing to consider Is Around the colour and the content onto the splendid copper headboard. Each one the material ought to really be safe and sound for anyone who sees there. In the event the collections are accountable for the children, then the furniture must have more curved borders. In the event the collection is right for adults, then make sure that the cloth won't influence the health of anybody who utilizes the place. For example, should you pick rhinestone beads, then a wood must not be that simple to deteriorate and make small dust which can influence the respiratory system. Hence, picking the suitable pair is very important therefore everyone is able to feel at ease.
A neutral belief can be reached by grey paint. Gray can be preferred for always a rhinestone beads for the minimalist inside motif that's readily along with other decorative aspects. It looks trendy and serene. It might be mixed and matched to the other themes and patterns. That clearly was really a modern minimalist impression in this color. Turmeric is indeed calming. This colour can be referred to as a beautiful impression having a suitable feminine nuance. There clearly was really a calm element in the selection of lavender. For the women enhancement pink, lavender can be an alternative into this ideal splendid copper headboard.

What do a children's book author, an entrepreneur, the CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA and a director at the Museum of Science in Boston have in common?
They're all working on ways to get young girls more involved in science, technology, engineering and math.
Referred to as STEM, these fields are a key part of our future, specifically when it comes to new jobs and careers. And yet, young girls and women are still facing barriers to enter these areas.
That's why the four women from the variety of careers listed above came together in Boston recently for a forum called "Cracking the Code: The Next Generation of Women in STEM," hosted by the Atlantic.
"A recent study showed that girls at 6, 7 years old already start thinking that boys are better at STEM then they are. That suggests to me that we are starting way, way, way too late," children's author Andrea Beaty said at the forum. "Being comfortable with ideas of exploration has to become part of their DNA, so that when they get to school, they hit the ground running joining [STEM] programs."
In Beaty's books, main characters are in STEM fields, like "Rosie Revere, Engineer" and "Ada Twist, Scientist." She has a background in science herself and only began writing children's books once she had kids of her own.
"I don't think about these books as being about engineering and science, but about perseverance and curiosity," she said.
For Ayah Bdeir, founder and CEO of littleBits, that curiosity was important in her own path toward STEM. Growing up in Beirut, she always tinkered and took things apart. Her company puts electronic toys into kids' hands so that they can build things, beyond what Legos allow.
"When Lego started, the world was made of buildings and bridges, and the way we allowed kids to participate in and imagine that world… is you would give them these static building blocks," she said. "The world is changed now, it's interactive, algorithmic; kids have to be technology savvy, [so] we equip them with building blocks that capture technology, lights, sound, wifi, bluetooth, that are programmable — all the things they see around them."
Suzanne Harper, director of the Girl Scouts' National STEM Strategy, has helped implement new STEM badges young scouts can earn, like mechanical engineering, robotics and cybersecurity badges.
"I love the job because not only are we creating programs for girls that will interest them in STEM, but every day I get to watch the future being invented," she said.
Christine Cunningham, founder and director of the Museum of Science's Engineering is Elementary initiative, is seeing that future form before her eyes, as well. While getting a bachelor's in science, she saw women leaving STEM and realized it wasn't connected to women's abilities, but how the fields were presented and taught.
"I decided that it was time to bring engineering down from just being at a collegiate level to younger grades. You have to get them before they're socialized [to think] they can't do it," she said. "We're natural engineers — watch any 3-year-old play, build sand castles and forts.We naturally solve problems, and we've educated that out of kids."
At the museum, she hears 4-year-olds calling themselves engineers.
"It's a lot harder for someone to come and say, 'You don't belong in engineering,' when they've had that really positive experience," she said.

text: Chesapeake Energy 3Q16: Revenue & Production Down, Lost $1.2B November 4, 2016 Chesapeake Energy, Energy Companies Chesapeake Energy released it's third quarter 2016 update yesterday. Revenues were down 33% year over year. Production for all forms of hydrocarbons the company extracts–oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, expressed as million barrels of oil equivalent or MMboe–was down 2 MMboe (around 3%). The company lost $1.2 billion in 3Q16–a marked improvement over losing $4.6 billion in 3Q15. Most of the loss was a paper loss (write-downs for impairments) and not out-of-pocket money. Chesapeake remains one of the largest producers in the Marcellus/Utica region, with a combined production in the two plays of 261 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (~1.5 million cubic feet per day of natural gas). One thing stands out in the 3Q16 update: Chesapeake's renewed/big push in the Haynesville. The company operated an average of 11 rigs in 3Q16 (down from 18 in 3Q15), drilling 63 wells (down from 81 in 3Q15) and completing 80 wells (down from 84 in 3Q15). They connected 105 wells to pipelines for production in 3Q16 (down from 112 in 3Q15). All of those numbers are cumulative across all shale plays. Unfortunately Chesapeake doesn't break out any of their numbers by individual shale play. They remain the biggest driller in the Ohio Utica. Here's the update… Please Login to view this content.

Current Newswire:
Linux Magazine: First Look: KDE 2.0Jul 18, 2000, 08:37 (2 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Lou Grinzo)
[ Thanks to Robert McMillan for this link. ]
"The big headline grabber of KDE 2.0 is, of course, Konqueror, its file manager that replaces kfm. While KDE's old file manager was serviceable, most people wouldn't consider it a full-featured file manager by any stretch of the imagination. That situation will change with the arrival of Konqueror. As you can see in the sidebar above, Konqueror is a more complex program, which is readily apparent if you use both a separate tree pane and a tree view of your files, as I do. The more streamlined, icon-centric display option is still available, of course."
"The most obvious change from KDE 1.x's kfm is the disappearance of the Macintosh-style toggles on the directory tree in favor of the more Windows-like dotted lines and plus signs. But Konqueror also supports extensive file viewing (for example, click on /etc/X11/XF86Config and by default it appears directly in Konqueror's file pane instead of being launched in an editor), as well as enhanced browsing, in the normal Web sense. Another overdue enhancement is the ability to sort a list of files simply by clicking on the header for the chosen field...."
"Ironically, one of the changes to KDE that's most representative of the feel of the entire release isn't in one of the flashier GUI components, but in konsole, the lowly command-shell utility. In the current version of KDE, konsole opens a resizable window and presents you with a shell prompt, which works fine. It also gives you the options of opening additional shell sessions in the same window and switching between them via a menu, and starting a new session with Midnight Commander preloaded. In the new release, konsole has added a set of buttons along the bottom edge of its window that you can use to click between the shells you have started in that window. See Figure Two for an example. You can even name the sessions, instead of having to remember which "Shell" entry on the Session menu was which. Other new options let you run the konsole window full screen, or send specific signals to the program in the currently active session, including the ever-popular KILL. These konsole tweaks don't sound like much, especially compared to all the major changes appearing in Linux and its graphical interfaces, but they're the kind of features you can get very used to."

A bipartisan group of US congressmen announced on Thursday (Feb 1) they had nominated Hong Kong pro-democracy activists Joshua Wong, Nathan Law, Alex Chow and the entire Umbrella Movement for the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize.
In a letter to the Nobel Committee, the four senators and eight members of the House said the nomination was "in recognition of their peaceful efforts to bring political reform and self-determination to Hong Kong."
"Wong, Law, and Chow and the entire Umbrella Movement embody the peaceful aspirations of the people of Hong Kong who yearn to see their autonomies and way of life protected and their democratic aspirations fulfilled," they said.
"Hong Kong's pro-democracy advocates have made significant contributions to peace by actively seeking to safeguard the future of Hong Kong at precisely the time Beijing has taken steps to undermine Hong Kong's long-cherished autonomy," they said.
"They have shown great courage in the face of harassment, threats, detention, and legal and financial repercussions," they added.
In nominating the Umbrella Movement, the congressmen noted that the Nobel Committee has shown "past willingness to brave the displeasure, and outright retribution, of the Chinese Communist Party and government in awarding the prize to Chinese political prisoner Liu Xiaobo."
The 2014 Umbrella Movement was an unprecedented rebuke to Beijing as tens of thousands of protesters brought parts of Hong Kong to a standstill.
They demanded fully free leadership elections to replace a system where Hong Kong's chief executive is selected by a pro-Beijing committee.
The rallies failed to win concessions and since then, Wong and other leading activists have been charged over their involvement.
Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and Democratic Senator Gary Peters of Michigan were among the signatories of the letter to the Nobel Committee.

- Singer-songwriter Amy Macdonald has sold millions of records worldwide
- She is also a passionate football fan and supporter of Scotland's women's team
- Macdonald speaks about the impact the FIFA Women's World Cup can have
"What would you know about football?"
Amy Macdonald has, of course, heard it all before. But this response – speckled with insults and expletives – to a tweet of hers about Scotland's national team caused the singer-songwriter to bite back. As she added later: "It was the fact that a woman had an opinion on sport. It rattled his tiny wee mind."
If the Twitter troll had done his homework, he would have discovered that Macdonald knows and cares a great deal about the beautiful game. A passionate fan of both Scotland and Rangers, she grew up devouring football stats with her friends at school and has devotedly followed the sport ever since.
Macdonald also performed at the FIFA awards ceremony in 2013 – "a mad, incredible experience", she reflected with a smile – and is married to a footballer: St Johnstone full-back Richard Foster.
"We talk about football all the time at home," she told FIFA.com. "But I've gone from being just a fan to hearing about all the behind-the-scenes stories, and some of those do take away the romance a bit!"
Fortunately, the football romantic in Macdonald has been reawakened lately, all thanks to Scotland's historic qualification for the upcoming FIFA Women's World Cup.
"It's been amazing," she enthused. "I've never known a time here when women's football has been talked about by so many people in Scotland, and there's real respect and excitement there. There's a realisation that these women are doing us all proud. People are counting down the days to the opening match now. It's brilliant.
"I was ten when Scotland's men played in their last World Cup at France 98, and remember it like it was yesterday. It's not been often since then that we've had a team worth celebrating and, as a female, I'm so proud it's the women now flying the flag. They're such an inspiring team. Whenever I see them, I just think they're fantastic role models for women and girls everywhere."
The spirit, skill and success of Shelley's Kerr side is undoubtedly shifting the football landscape and changing mindsets in Scotland. The result is more widespread acceptance and encouragement of girls playing the game, which – as Macdonald knows from personal experience – is long overdue.
As she explained: "My sister was really good at football – much better than me – and she got into the school team. She was the only girl though and ended up taking a bit of stick. It was difficult and eventually she just stopped playing because it wasn't really worth it.
"But things have been steadily improving since then and I think this World Cup will be massive in inspiring young girls to play the game – and showing everyone else that it should be embraced."
[embedded content]
Many hope that its impact could be wider still. Might the tournament, for example, help reduce some of the antiquated views and mindless abuse to which female footballers, journalists and fans – Macdonald included – have become so wearily accustomed?
"I really hope so," said Macdonald. "I think there have been big strides forward lately – the amazing female TV pundits now working in football in Britain come to mind. The obvious knowledge that these women have shows – or should show – anyone who says to us 'What do you know?' just how outdated those views are.
"This World Cup will help too, I'm sure. Seeing these amazing female athletes in such a big event should be huge in forcing people to get over any prejudices they still have."
So inspired has Macdonald been by the tournament, and Scotland's success in qualifying, that she is releasing a remixed version of her hit single 'Woman of the World' in tribute on 14 June. With lyrics that speak of independence and empowerment, it is a song that seems to strike the right note.
"It just seemed to lend itself really well to what the women's team have done," she said. "When I wrote the song, it was basically about me and how, as a woman, you really need to stand your ground sometimes. That applies in the music industry but it's definitely true in football too, and I think it's something woman in all walks of life will identify with.
"What's encouraging now is that the balance – in music, football and hopefully wider – seems to be tipping. With everything that's happened over the past few years, it seems women are finally starting to get a fair crack of the whip. And in Scotland, the women's team getting to the World Cup couldn't have come at a better time. I just can't wait for it to start."

Military Aircraft and Social Media: Help in Disasters
by JD Meyer
Like countless others throughout the world, I wondered what I could do to help Japan after their earthquake/tsunami/nuclear plant disaster. Then I saw CNN accounts of convenience stores devoid of food and very orderly folks standing in line at the grocery store--ten-item maximum. I wondered if military helicopters could go to food warehouses--undoubtedly meeting modern hurricane-resistant standards--and fly the food past the flooded streets to grocery stores!
I decided that this story fits in with the sustainability in composition concept. Sustainability has gone well beyond its origins in environmentalism, according to the National Council for the Teachers of English (NCTE). Sustainability could be regional topics in composition--something meaningful in the student's neighborhood. In this case, sustainability is how to help an advanced country facing multiple crises.
My quest for answers began with two veteran friends at East Texas Work Force: Charles Miller of Project RIO and James Warren, the veterans' advisor.
- http://archive.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=63144 "U.S. Forces Provide Relief Aid to Japan," by Fred W. Baker III. Operation Tomodachi (Friendship) involves mobilizing a wide range of US military assets. US Ambassador to Japan, John V. Roos, declared, "We have units from all our service, with a multitude of capabilities, from medical to communications to civil engineering, poised and ready to support where needed." Yokota Air Base is helping out with planes that can't land at Tokyo's Narita Airport. Two SH-60 Seahawk helicopters from the US Naval Air Facility Atsugi have already delivered 1500 pounds of rice and bread to Shiroishi.
- http://www.asiamattersforamerica.org/japan/usg-tohoku-earthquake-response "A Friend in Need: The United States Government Response to Japan's Crisis." Here's the article that chronicles the US Department of Defense and other agencies efforts to help Japan after the earthquake and flood.
- http://www.centcom.mil/en/news/articles/social-media-connects-pakistanis-to-flood-relief-effort "Social media connects Pakistanis to flood relief effort." By US Air Force Central Public Affairs. This article on the use of social media after the Pakistan floods ended in this advice from the Secretary of State: "Secretary of State Hillary Clinton encourages the use of new social media to not only connect to friends and family, but also to provide a dialogue for understanding, share innovative ideas and important information, and to create social networks." Facebook, flickr, and YouTube were used during the crisis; flickr is the photo-sharing branch of yahoo. The US Embassy in Pakistan opened a site on Facebook. Note that the photo shows a U.S. Air Force C-130H carrying thousands of Halal meals.
4. http://archive.defense.gov/home/features/2010/0810_pakistan/ "U.S. Provides Support During Pakistan Flood (2010)." Within 36 hours of the flooding, U.S. Air Force C-130 and C-17 aircraft began aid flights on July 31, delivering more than 436,000 halal meals to Pakistanis in flood-affected regions." Note which aircraft are used in the operations—much more in this article. Now as an archive, this link goes to many articles.
5. http://www.int-bio.com/ International Biomedical, an Austin-based company, is over 35 years old. Their medical products look like something you'd take to a flood-ravaged region. They provide "innovative products and technologies that will result in the best outcomes for the newborn infant, the critically ill, and their families." I found this site through "Helicopter Links."
http://www.flickr.com/photos/usnavy/5540310786 The largest helicopters have two horizontal propellers.
It's great to see what humanitarian efforts our US military can do. I wanted to add info from the Department of Defense website after my initial interview of the Work Force veterans. I bet these military aircraft could move groceries already in Japanese warehouses to wherever needed. This would utilize existing food in the flood-damaged countries.
Perhaps a definition of citizen journalism should include publicizing lesser-known websites, as well as the more familiar eyewitness accounts of events type of citizen journalism.

Five years ago, when Todd Ruppert surveyed the European asset management opportunities for US manager T Rowe Price((TRP) from Baltimore in Maryland, it was with a blank sheet in front of him and one arm tied behind his back.
Because of TRP's joint venture with UK manager Flemings dating back to 1979 to manage non US equities and bonds for US investors, Rowe Price Fleming International, "we were precluded from offering our non US capability outside the US," he explains. What he had to offer was TRP's US equity and fixed income capabilities.
With native wit, charm and utter conviction about the products he was bringing across the Atlantic, Ruppert threaded his way into the institutional market here, first by using the three investment forums promoted by the European Pension Fund Investment Forum, bringing the buy and sell sides of the industry together in the UK, Dutch and Nordic markets. Then, TRP took a stake in UK-based Helix Associates, an independent private equity placement agent, which had a continental contacts network second to none.
"We have had good successes, as we now manage assets for a range of continental and UK clients, across numerous asset classes," he says. In the first two and half years, TRP pulled in some sizeable mandates from these sorties by Ruppert, who reckons he was spending about a third of his time on European development. More recently, TRP had some notable results in the Nordic market with identical mandates from three Danish pension funds and it took in some $700m (E806m) of assets from European investors so far in 2001.
Suddenly, the whole picture changed last year, as a result of the Chase acquisition of Flemings, and TRP dug deep into its pocket and paid out $483m in cash and borrowed $300m to exercise its option to buy-in the other half of Rowe Price Fleming International. "Now we are a sizeable international operation, with at end 2000, around $38bn of the $166bn that the group manages globally in non US assets, managed out of London and other offices world-wide under the new name of T Rowe Price International(TRPI)," says Ruppert. This operation has its own separate product range developed over the years, and is, for example, the largest provider of 'no load' international mutual funds in the US. "The new company inherits a great client list among the Fortune 100 companies," he adds. Importantly, the team of portfolio managers who built the business have all stayed with the new company, he points out.
"Following the acquisition, we have set up our own fully fledged non-US marketing T Rowe Price Global Investment Services (TRPGIS) in London, an IMRO regulated operation, that has recruited eight professionals for delivering our products and services world-wide." An office has been opened in Copenhagen and TRPGIS will examine the opening of others. "A new fund range is planned to launch this summer, which will marry the global and international investment capabilities of both the US and the international operations." Now under the leadership of Tom Pedersen, a seasoned and well-connected continental market campaigner, the group is targeting initially the Nordic, Dutch, Swiss and German for global and sector equity and corporate bond and other fixed income mandates.
He attributes the group's success so far to the rigorous adherence to its investment process. "We have a well oiled, stable process, resulting in consistent performance overtime. What has gone down well with European investors is that we take risk very seriously. Our portfolios tend to have returns higher than benchmark, but with lower volatility than the market, resulting in good information ratios."
The ability to provide this outperformance in bottom-up stockpicking comes from the way the company is structured, he maintains, with some 25% of the company employee-owned. The stability of portfolio managers and analysts as to the length of time with the firm is well above the industry average. The firm treats analysis as a lifetime career if that is what people want, and has over 65 analysts, he adds.
"We are looking for institutional segregated business as well as fund assets through institutions and intermediaries. We will also act as sub-advisers to other organisations – we have a big third-party businesss in the US, amounting to $30bn. Our aim is to grow methodically and profitably, without jeopardising the integrity of our investment process for the sake of winning business."
The aim is to offer all the service capabilities on offer in the US to European markets. As a big DC provider in the US, the group is inevitably keeping an eye on this area. "We feel it would be very difficult to tailor a US DC system to European markts, so our view is that you have to develop one for the market here and we believe we can provide know-how for this." But the US obsession with client servicing is a pre-occupation that will be insisted on this side of the Atlantic.
The institutional market in Europe will be driven by the pensions business, Ruppert maintains. "But the assets will only flow to those who are providing the products the market wants. We have these and the people, the technology and the size to do this on global basis. It is a matter of being well regarded by the groups that retain us, by exceeding their expectations in terms of performance and servicing."
The name of the game is profitable growth – not assets under management. Acquisitions are not ruled out, but their potential will be measured by what they bring and any threats thy pose to TRP's successful corporate culture. "We believe we are of a size that is significant as one of the bigger mutual fund providers and institutional account managers. We can survive and thrive on our own."
