Oh man, here we go.
That's the typical response I get when I start to hear people shoving scripture down other people's throats. It's the response I get when I start to hear the circular logic that is employed to try to prove something. It's the response that goes through my head when I start to hear so many political "conversations," if you want to call them that.
Thom Shultz wrote an article back in May that talks about this in relation to religion - Talking about God without being a jerk.
At the end of the article Thom talks about Doug Pollack about his conversational method.
His approach today begins with listening–and asking "wondering questions," which tend to invite people into comfortable conversations. Now he finds himself in friendly, spiritual conversations with all sorts of people, including those who some pious Christians would find repulsive. He's learned to embrace them with "radical acceptance," even though he may not always endorse all their behaviors. That's an approach he says he learned from another great conversationalist and faith sharer, Jesus.
Amen! it's not about shoving your version of Christianity down people's throats. Or your political ideology and beliefs either for that matter. Orthodoxy of belief is important, however, how can you ever get people to believe something if you can't even talk with them, listen to them, and hear where they are? You know, people are similar in a few things - they all believe that what they believe is correct. You might want to hear them out for a bit. That doesn't mean you have to agree or take on someone elses' beliefs. In fact you could walk away thinking the person is completely wrong. That's ok. There's nothing wrong with that.
Stop trying to fix people, or correct their beliefs if they aren't open to listening - you are wasting your breath. Jesus didn't say go and beat people into submission. You'll get much further in life and with faith and politics if you stop, listen to people first, and hear their questions and beliefs. You might be invited to offer your insights. You might not be invited to offer your beliefs and insights though. That's ok. It's not your job to convince anyone. Stop worrying about being right and getting everyone to buy into your version of right. Jesus never said "blessed are the people who are right and convince others." Start caring for the person you are there with. Be non-divisive so that others may not divide and separate you. Be forgiving so that you can receive forgiveness as well. Be considerate and respectful. Listen and try to understand. And when you walk away, ask yourself what you learned. Maybe you learned that you don't ever want to talk with the person again. That's ok too. But we really don't need to be jerks. Even when someone is a jerk to us. How you response will say more about who you are, rather than who the other person is.

30 Days of Night (2007)
Country: USA
Director: David Slade
Main Stars: Josh Hartnett, Melissa George, Danny Huston
Storyline: An Alaskan town is held in darkness for a month and it becomes a haven for vampires.
Review (Spoils): A small isolated Alaskan town sits in darkness for a month while it is being haunted and attacked by a tribe of blood thirsty vampires. Sheriff Eben Oleson (Josh Hartnett) and Deputy Billy Kitka try to narrow down what is really happening. We have lots of blood, decapitations, neck ripping, dead dogs and flying vampires. The survivors try to keep their sense and lives by hiding till the next sunrise which is 30 days. The vampire's leader Marlow (Danny Huston) meets his match against the sheriff.
The film is different compared to other vampire's films. We have vampires out in the cold, in the dark full time and nothing rocks better than blood on white snow. The storyline is very interesting and I'm amazed the concept of vampires up in the north where it is dark for longer periods of time has not been done till then.
Rating: Not the greatest vampire film but the idea works well and it is fresh and new. This film is worth for good beer drinking, so grab some friends and 30 pints (of beer not blood) and drink it up!
6/10 Beers!

Last Tuesday, Lauren Baer won the Democratic primary for Florida's U.S. House District 18, which is comprised of the northern area of Palm Beach.
In November, she will be facing Republican incumbent Brian Mast, and she could potentially be the first LGBT person to be elected to Congress.
Speaking to the Daily Beast after she won her primary race, Baer commented on the LGBT representation on Capitol Hill, saying that "Certainly, there's a degree of pressure there. But it's also an incredible opportunity and an incredibly exciting position to be in, knowing that we're going to be at the center of the kind of change that our community and our country so desperately needs."
She also added that it is "exciting and humbling to think about being in a history-making position."
In addition, Joe Saunders, senior political director for Equality Florida, a political advocacy group, explained that "It's a breakthrough race for our community" because Baer, if elected, would be the first openly LGBT person elected to the U.S. Congress in the Sunshine State. Saunders also called Baer "one of the most exciting and qualified candidates running for Congress in Florida this year."
In November, Democrats seek to hit Election Day with a blue wave.

When I read something so well crafted and unpredictable, "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" for example, I find myself thinking I missed the literary boat a long time ago--like right after I finished my BA in English Literature and then moved to Idaho to be with a boy man.
Perhaps I missed the boat before then, when I was playing in three bands and exploring the many faces of Jaegermeister rather than the intricacies of Beowulf or Canterbury Tales, leaving my education to the illusionary genius of cramming and late night epiphanies.
Now, in the stillness of a Saturday afternoon, my son and husband at the zoo, the chocolate eaten, I come back here to my blog and ask why? What draws me here?
I've heard a handful of times that accomplished writers combine their talent with diligence. They create space in their lives to write--even when it turns out badly. Its the perserverance that pulls them through.
So, in honor of all those dollars mom and dad spent on my undergrad education, and in honor of the happiness that sometimes comes to me when I write, I will continue to spend time here and in other places where words align themselves--sometimes into meaningful verse.
Speaking of which, I am very impressed with Michelle Howard's recent column on the Huffington Post about the nature words we are losing in the junior dictionary.
Check it out here:
I won't say I'll try to write more often, because that sounds like a trap!

Lightbend to Bring Reactive Systems Patterns to Enterprise Developers Creating Applications Purpose-Built for Big Data
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 7, 2016) - Lightbend (formerly Typesafe), the company behind the Reactive Platform that includes the Akka, Play and Lagom Frameworks as well as the Scala programming language, today at Spark Summit announced that it is working with IBM to help enterprises operationalize big data across their application infrastructure.
As Data Scientists and big data assets become part of the fabric of enterprise software, application developers are faced with the reality of handling "fast data" (also known as "data in motion"), and traditional batch architectures must evolve to stream-based architectures. In these systems, live data is captured, processed, and used to modify behavior with response times of seconds or less. There is major business value in sub-second response times to changing information -- but that advantage can only be captured by enterprises with the application architecture equipped for the speed and resilience requirements of fast data.
"Analytics was the first 'killer app' for big data, but what we're seeing today is a need for mainstream enterprise developers to take the algorithms, analytics and dataflows out of big data silos and to operationalize it across the application infrastructure, to power everything from user-facing applications to IoT pipelines," said Mark Brewer, CEO at Lightbend. "In order to build data-first applications, enterprises need to have the models and pipelines from data scientists combined with the developer capabilities to operationalize that data into modern, microservices-based applications built for scale and resilience."
"Reactive technologies are being leveraged as a core trait that enterprises must achieve in their development infrastructure to help data science become a cornerstone of modern application construction," said Ritika Gunnar, Vice President, Offering Management, IBM Analytics. "Lightbend has a rich history of empowering companies across all industries to leverage this technology and, as part of the Data Science Experience, will be able to help even more companies bring this vision into reality."
Enterprises including Walmart, Verizon, iHeartRadio, William Hill, and Samsung (see case studies) have adopted the Lightbend Reactive Platform to build low latency, fast data applications based on modern microservice architectures. Lightbend's platform and professional services have become a popular option for enterprises who leverage the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and JVM-languages like Java and Scala -- and seek the characteristics of application resiliency and extreme scale defined by the Reactive Manifesto.
About Lightbend
Lightbend (Twitter: @lightbend) is dedicated to helping developers build Reactive applications on the JVM. With the Lightbend Reactive Platform, developers can create message-driven applications that scale on multicore and cloud computing architectures by using technologies like Lagom, Play Framework, Akka, Apache Spark, Scala, and Java. To help our customers succeed, Lightbend partners with technology pioneers such as Databricks, IBM, and Mesosphere. Lightbend is venture backed by Bain Capital, Blue Cloud, Intel Capital and Shasta Ventures with headquarters in San Francisco.

Fans of the history RTS genre have long viewed Empire Earth and Age of Empires as the seminal excuse for their excessive power bills. Indeed, it's quite surprising that RTS computer games, with their ability to keep you awake until well past even infomercial broadcasts, haven't been the focus of a carbon footprint study or simply banned outright by Sue Bradford. The reason for this is simple - everyone wants just a little bit more before they walk away. You want to get to that new age because you've spent the last half an hour finding the resources to do so. You want to build those five towers because you've spent the last half an hour getting kicked by the Germans. Before you know it, it's 6am and the only thing you have to show for your entire evening is a save game file you'd happily kill to prevent from being deleted, and several stains on your new desk from the lukewarm cups you placed there because you couldn't wait for the jug to boil fully or track down a coaster.
Of course, this addiction is nothing new. Anyone who ever played the original Sid Meier's Civilization will be fully aware that some weekends can just entirely disappear without your knowledge. The similar appeal of Age of Empires and Empire Earth is no real surprise either, because they were the brainchild of the same man - Rick Goodman, working first for Ensemble on AOE, and later Stainless Steel Studios (which he co-founded in 1997) for EE. The concepts of resource gathering to increase through the ages, and levelling units and structures worked well then, as it has done for the inevitable sequels, and with a few twists and turns along the way we've arrived here with Empire Earth III. There are some changes, however, so before you jump right in and start spawning settlers, let's take a look at the interface..
It's over six years since the original Empire Earth made us all proclaim "I can't believe the AI made it through six layers of walls!", and Mad Doc software - who created Empire Earth II - have returned with the latest instalment. Despite using the same game engine, it's really a very different beast entirely. You still have the obligatory mini-map, and bars that allow you to plot your course through epochs and keep a track of resources, plus the concept of borders and expansion via. new town centres that was introduced with EE II. What you don't get, however, is practically everything that made the first two such wonderful games to play. Gone is the fifteen epoch limit - this has been slashed to five. Gone is the concept of spawning settlers from a town centre to do your bidding - now it's all controlled by simple warehouse and market buildings that require virtually no management whatsoever. Gone are the fourteen detailed civilizations, replaced with three generic ones. Gone is the innovative in-game tech tree consisting of empire, military and economic branches - there is now an all-encompassing "tech point" system to level you up. Have a read of this excerpt from the game manual:
The player purchases worker slots in the City Centre to hire "scholars", which generate a steady stream of tech points. City Centres do not come with any slots - all slots must be bought. All slots produce tech points at the same static rate. However, each new slot bought (per building) costs more than the previous slot. Tech research and Era advancement cost tech points, in addition to other resources.
I wish I was making this up. They've removed possibly the biggest aspect of any RTS game, the "hard resource point grind to level up faster than the enemy in order to buy kick-ass military units to stomp all over them", and replaced it with a few mouse clicks coupled with leisurely expansion through the placement of new City Centres. I wouldn't mind so much, but they've added insult to injury by keeping one of the annoying factors of EE II - the rate of gold accumulation is dictated by the distance your market is from your City Centre. To increase the rate, all you do is buy another wagon (to a maximum of three) and upgrade it to roll slightly faster. Oh sure, I could establish trade relations and make a bit more on the side, but why would I be playing Empire Earth if I wanted to be nice to other players?
In the resource gathering area, we have "raw materials". It's worth reproducing the contents of the instruction manual once more, simply because I can't think of a better way to let everybody down than this:
Maps differ in the number and types of raw material sites they have. A map's climate may also play a factor in what types of sites are most likely to be there. The types of raw material sites are: Mines (ore), Forests (wood), Quarries (stone), Schools of fish (fish). Once collected, all raw materials are interchangeable and go into the same stockpile. Raw materials are used primarily to purchase units and buildings.
In other words, find a resource point, plonk a building down, and short of hiring more workers that's pretty much all you need to do.

Tips On How To Buy Stunning Recliners On Sale Kings Point NY On A Strict Budget
Sofa beds have actually been around for a long period of time. I am not actually sure who the genius was behind the very first sofa bed, or when it really entered into being, however I understand that they have actually been around for quite some time. We owned an implemented furniture shop a few years back, and we had some old click clack sofa beds enter the shop that looked like they were from about the 1950's. I thought that these were quite cool, the back would lay flat to alter the sofa into a bed.

Obama: Police are often 'scapegoated' for society's failures
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Tuesday that law enforcement officials are too often "scapegoated for the broader failures of our society and our criminal justice system."
Speaking at the annual meeting of the International Association of Chiefs of Police in Chicago, Obama said that police and other law enforcement officials are not responsible for problems like unemployment, poor education and job shortages.
"Too often, law enforcement gets scapegoated for the broader failures of our society and our criminal justice system. And I know you do your jobs with distinction no matter the challenges you face," Obama said. "That's part of wearing a badge."
"But we can't expect you to contain and control problems that the rest of us aren't willing to face or do anything about," he added.
Obama's remarks at the law enforcement gathering come one week after he defended Black Lives Matter activists, saying that they have surfaced a legitimate issue faced by communities across the country. But in Chicago, speaking to a law enforcement crowd, Obama seemed to tread carefully, avoiding a focus on police verses communities.
Obama said he rejects "any narrative that seeks to divide police and the communities that they serve."
"I reject a story line that says, when it comes to public safety, there's an 'us' and a 'them,' a narrative that too often gets served up to us by news stations seeking ratings, or tweets seeking retweets, or political candidates seeking some attention," he said.
Obama repeatedly praised the officers that risk their lives daily to keep people safe around the country. He paid tribute to tribute to Randolph Holder, the New York City police officer who was killed in the line of duty, saying Holder "ran toward danger because he was a cop."
"It was part of his job description, part of his calling. It's why so many of you wear the badge. Every day, you risk your lives so that the rest of us don't have to," he said.
He also said he was "encouraged by" legislation currently moving through Congress that would overhaul the nation's criminal justice policy. The legislation is seen by supporters as a long overdue response to a mandatory sentencing program that has delivered punishments to offenders that are out of proportion to their crimes and deprived communities around the country of people who, given the chance, could contribute to their society.
America's prisons, Obama said are "crowded with not only hardcore violent offenders, but also some non-violent offenders serving very long sentences for drug crimes at taxpayer expense."
"It's important to acknowledge that having millions of black and Latino men in the criminal justice system, without any ability for most of them to find a job after release — and most of them will eventually be released -– that's not a sustainable situation," he said.
Obama noted the spike in murders in Chicago this year and called yet again for gun control measures, though he made no new proposals. Since the deadly shooting at an Oregon community college, Obama has been pushing for new steps to reduce gun violence. Such efforts though have gained little traction on Capitol Hill.
"Fewer gun safety laws don't mean more freedom, they mean more danger," Obama said. "Certainly more danger to police, more fallen officers, more grieving families, more Americans terrified that they or their loved ones could be next. So I'm going to keep calling on the folks in Congress to change the way that they think about gun safety. And if they don't, I'm going to keep on calling on Americans to change the folks in Congress until they get it right."
Earlier in the week, leaders from nine national law enforcement groups called on Congress to strengthen background checks on gun purchases.

Joint inversion of crosshole ground-penetrating radar and seismic data can improve model resolution and fidelity of the resultant individual models. Model coupling obtained by minimizing or penalizing some measure of structural dissimilarity between models appears to be the most versatile approach because only weak assumptions about petrophysical relationships are required. Nevertheless, experimental results and petrophysical arguments suggest that when porosity variations are weak in saturated unconsolidated environments, then radar wave speed is approximately linearly related to seismic wave speed. Under such circumstances, model coupling also can be achieved by incorporating cross-covariances in the model regularization. In two case studies, structural similarity is imposed by penalizing models for which the model cross-gradients are nonzero. A first case study demonstrates improvements in model resolution by comparing the resulting models with borehole information, whereas a second case study uses point-spread functions. Although radar seismic wave-speed crossplots are very similar for the two case studies, the models plot in different portions of the graph, suggesting variances in porosity. Both examples display a close, quasilinear relationship between radar seismic wave speed in unconsolidated environments that is described rather well by the corresponding lower Hashin-Shtrikman (HS) bounds. Combining crossplots of the joint inversion models with HS bounds can constrain porosity and pore structure better than individual inversion results can.

Advances in Near-surface Seismology and Ground-penetrating Radar
Near-surface seismology and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) have enjoyed success and increasing popularity among a wide range of geophysicists, engineers, and hydrologists since their emergence in the latter half of the twentieth century. With the common ground shared by near-surface seismology and GPR, their significant upside potential, and rapid developments in the methods, a book bringing together the most current trends in research and applications of both is fitting and timely. Conceptually, near-surface seismology and GPR are remarkably similar, and they share a range of attributes and compatibilities that provides opportunities to integrate processing and interpretation workflows, which makes them a perfect pair to share pages in a book.
With growth in numbers and professional emphasis have come sections, focus groups, and even professional societies specifically promoting near-surface geophysics. The emergence of near-surface geophysics groups, beginning in the late 1990s and extending into the early twenty-first century, has fueled a diversity of opportunities for professional collaborations. A range of workshops and shared publications has been the fruit of collaborative efforts. The near-surface community continues to extend and develop methods and approaches necessary to satisfy increasing demands in some of the socioeconomically pertinent disciplines such as civil and environmental engineering and hydrology. This book represents the first formal cooperative effort undertaken by the near-surface communities of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists, the American Geophysical Union, and the Environmental and Engineering Geophysical Society.

The South Korean ambassador to Iran said Seoul is shifting focus from trade to investment in Iran.
Kim Seung-ho also told Mehr News Agency in an interview that Seoul is looking beyond trade.
South Korea has increased its commercial exchanges with Iran after Tehran signed the nuclear deal with world powers in 2015.
Last Iranian year (March 2016-17), bilateral trade reached the highest level of $6.33 billion over the past 10 years. Latest statistics on bilateral trade also indicate that this rising trend looks set to continue and a new record is at hand
"Trade is like gluing two things but investment is rather a chemical reaction. When two materials react chemically, it is almost impossible to detach them. So the Korean government urges Korean companies to invest more in Iran," Kim said.
Iran signed its biggest credit line deal in recent years with South Korea's Eximbank in August 2017. The deal envisages as much as €8 billion in loans provided by South Korean companies to finance various projects in Iran.
"The Iranian and Korean companies should apply their common projects to Korea's Eximbank. Then the bank reviews if the project is really profitable or not," the ambassador explained.
Referring to hurdles in the way of foreign investment in Iran, he said the Islamic Republic needs to improve its business environment to help foreign investors gain a foothold in the country.
"We can't go further (than urging Korean companies to invest in Iran) because the government can't enforce its will. It is for the companies to decide if they want to put their money here in Iran or not … If Iran provides a good environment for foreign companies, they won't hesitate to come here," he said.
"Iran needs to make the environment more conducive to absorb foreign investment. It should provide some good incentives and of course make the environment more predictable and transparent."
Speaking of a conductive business environment, he called on the Iranian government to do more to pave the way for foreigners to have a stronger presence in the country.
"Let me give you a simple example. Here in Iran, there are not enough schools for foreign children. So when it comes to Korean companies sending their representatives to Iran, everybody is reluctant. So we send someone here who has not very young children."
Government Spokesman Mohammad Baqer Nobakht recently said foreign investment in Iran has seen a tenfold increase following the 2015 nuclear deal reached between Iran and six world powers
Addressing a news conference earlier this month, Nobakht said over $13 billion of foreign investment were made in Iran last year (March 2016-17), IRNA reported.
Director General of Industries Ministry's Foreign Investment Office Afrouz Bahrami said Iran attracted $24.95 billion in foreign investments during Sept. 2013-17.
Germany, China, Turkey, Austria, the UAE and France were the biggest investors in Iran during the four-year period and the most attractive industries for investors were polymer and chemicals, steel, trade, motor vehicles, mining, plastic and medical devices.
Alborz, Tehran, Khorasan Razavi, Fars, West Azarbaijan, Kerman, Zanjan and Qazvin were the most attractive Iranian provinces for foreign investments during the period.

without falling forward and acts like a foundered animal. He carries his
back rather arching since this trouble came on. During my absence from
home a hired man gave this boar a good beating with a pick handle, and
it appears to have been the beginning of his troubles.
This disease is Osteo Rachitis (rickets). The abuse has probably
aggravated the symptoms: This condition is due to a lack of hardening
principles in the bones. Give 4 ounces of cod liver oil daily and plenty
of lime water to drink. It will be all right to use him for breeding
when he recovers. In addition to good food and pure water give daily a
handful of a mixture of principally ashes and burned barley (charcoal)
with the usual addition of salt, sulphur and soda. This mixture is good:
Pulv. dried, iron sulphate, 4 ounces; soda bi-carbonate, 8 ounces; soda
salicylate, 2 drachms; pulv. aniseed, 4 ounces. Mix and give one-half
teaspoonful twice daily.

What is Executive Search?Executive Search Consultant - Recruiter - Headhunter
On the website of Jobadder we find the following definition: (Quote): "... An executive search is an employment search that is undertaken in order to find candidates to fill executive roles, or other positions of equivalent seniority.
This search is usually conducted by executive search firms on behalf of a third party company. The advantage of an executive search being performed by an executive search firm is that the firm can undertake an initial screening of the candidate and confirm if they are suitable for the role and ascertain what their remuneration expectations before putting them in touch with the company.
As executive searches target highly qualified and desirable candidates, ideal candidates are sometimes already employed and are best approached by executive search firms in order to glean information about their interest in leaving their current role for a new opportunity....".

Riga's Central Market
Latvia is a country of many attractions.
We would like to share an article we found on www.latvia.travel about the Central Market in Riga:
Taste-test a quick-pickled cucumber, buy vegetables straight from the farm or nursery, treat yourself to a freshly-smoked eel, or just embark on a walking tour of the one and only Riga Central Market.
No other attraction like this in Europe
Riga Central Market is situated in the heart of Riga, a few hundred meters from Old Town on the banks of the River Daugava, next to Riga International Bus Terminal and Central Railway Station. It is not only one of the largest marketplaces in Eastern Europe in area, but also one of the most visited, as 80,000-100,000 people shop there per day on the average.
Architecturally-imposing food pavilions, built in the 1920s, are Riga Central Market's calling card. Originally used as military airship hangars, they were later transformed into market venues.
Riga Central Market is unique not only with its pavilions but also with its old warehouses or the so-called spikeri (from German Spéicher), which have now been turned into a hip arts&entertainment quarter.
In 1998, the vast territory of Riga Central Market was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Taste and buy delicious foods
At Riga Central Market, you can buy Latvian-grown and homemade products, exotic fruit and spices, as well as manufactured merchandise. The market includes 5 pavilions each with its own category - vegetables, dairy, meat, fish and gastronomy products, as well as an outdoor area with stalls and stands, the Night Market and 'Round the Clock Farmers' Market.
It's also true, however, that the Market's distracting hustle and bustle is fertile ground for swindlers and pickpockets, so be careful!
Central Gastro Market
This new section of the market covers half of one of its Zeppelin style hangars and features over 20 different caterers and 2 bars.
It is possible to find Prosecco, oysters, pizza, craft beer, gastro hot dogs, ramen, thai soup, raw food, falafel and pretty much most food types on offer.
Opening of Riga Central Market
Riga Central Market, which opened in 1930, was recognized not only as the largest, but also the best and most advanced marketplace in Europe. Riga Central Market has invariably remained in the very heart of Riga city, ensuring diverse shopping experience, a personal touch, lively conversation, tall tales and exuberant bargaining with the vendors.

At any time throughout the game you can view your scores by turn; this is helpful if you thought you either left out a score or made a mistake.
Use ScoreKeeper Deluxe to keep track of one or many board games simultaneously (you can stop a game and start a new one; the app keeps track of the other games turn and points).
Get rid of the pencil and start using Scorekeeper Deluxe to keep score.
Superior Tip Calculator II is a more than just a tip calculator, it also manages 'Group Tabs'. Group tabs are the tab or bill you receive from a restaurant or bar for parties of 4 or more.
The tip calculator provides a means for you to easily compute the tip based on the receipt total or subtotal.
The Group Tab feature provides a means for you to determine how much each person in your party owes against the final bill. Each person can easily and quickly enter in their menu selections (Beverage, Appetizer, Soup/Salad, Entrée, and Dessert) with price. Each person can see an itemized listing of their order totaling price, with their portion of tip, and tax.
The group list/entry form displays all members of the party, again displaying their individual subtotal, tip, tax, and total. All entries can be entered before and during the meal, or service. Initial tax and tip rates are defaulted based on your preferences. Once the bill comes, you can enter the receipt subtotal, tip total, and tax total; now you can view the group list/entry form to see the final figures. Each invididuals totals will be recomputed against the final tab ultilizing the tip and tax rate from the bill. At this point all you need to do is collect the funds from all the individuals in the party.
Superiod Tip Calculator II is a free application on the Android Market. A paid version also exists which removes that removes the ads and the 2 person limit on the group tab. The paid version is currently available for only $1.99.

We now are offering two different versions on the Bomb Code Defuser Game, the numerical version featured directly below, and the Code Defuser Words version located below the QR codes below. The Words version as the description implies uses words instead of numerals.
This is a timed memory game where the object is to defuse the bombs by finding the listed code within the grid before the time expires.
The bomb has several fuses; the number varies depending on the level of play. The fuses must be disarmed from left to right; the active fuse is red. Press each square on the board to uncover the code, pressing another square uncovers that code and covers the previous code. Remember where the codes are. When you have uncovered a code that matches the code on the fuse, press the 'Lock' button to defuse that fuse as decoded. When all the fuses have been defused, the bomb is defused and you have won that level.

Former UFC fighter turned MMA broadcaster Chael Sonnen said on his latest podcast that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon once offered him $5 million to leave the UFC and become a WWE Superstar. Heres what he had to say on the matter:
"Here's the nuts and bolts of it. I was offered $5 million by Vince McMahon… Now, I was still under contract with the UFC and I never took this to Dana. I handled it on my own. I told them 'No' and that was the end of that. I never told Dana White this story, but here's why I didn't tell him. I knew if I called Dana and said, 'I've got a $5 million offer from Vince McMahon,' Dana would have matched it. Dana would have come close and now all of a sudden I'm not a loyal employee," Sonnen explained. I'm not loyal to the UFC. I'm shopping them and I'm being loyal to myself. That's business. That's how that works and I don't think anyone would have had hard feelings but I didn't see myself that way."

40,320 Pieces for Puttinu
By Steven Galea, Accountant
They say life is one big puzzle. In my case it is that, and a lot of "smaller" ones. I have been doing jigsaw puzzles since I was five. Fast forward nearly 50 years, and puzzling is ideal for my lifestyle, a hobby I can enjoy, abandon, and return to at will. Regardless of work deadlines, travel, family and little time to relax – the puzzle board is always there, laid out, waiting – eventually the puzzle will be completed.
I am not alone in this hobby, so my latest project, 40320 PIECES FOR PUTTINU, is a team effort and a combination of puzzling with a fundraising campaign for PUTTINU CARES.
I purchased the world's largest fully interlocking jigsaw puzzle, the 40320 piece Memorable Disney Moments. This is a monster puzzle, 22ft x 6ft, with a picture of 10 different Disney cartoons, ideal for a children's hospital. 10 volunteers offered to build a frame each.
I would like to collect €40,320, symbolically €1 for each piece of the puzzle. This will go towards the €17 million UK housing project for Maltese children and families. A meeting with Puttinu Cares CEO Rennie Zerafa left me speechless at the shocking statistics. The number of cancer patients continues to grow, but thankfully also the number of patients who are cured.
Donations are easy, a simple blank SMS to the following designated numbers: 50617380/ €2.33, 50618939/ €6.99, 50619225/ €11.65.
The campaign runs from January to May 2018, and hopefully, a team effort involving the puzzle assemblers, sponsors and the public, will result in the presentation of the completed puzzle and a donation of €40,320 during the PUTTINU CARES NATIONAL FUNDRAISING MARATHON in May 2018.
Members are invited to inform the institute about their appointments for due consideration, to be included in this section of the journal

WASHINGTON—As legislators gathered Tuesday for a critical vote that would go a long way toward finally repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) was reportedly struggling to weigh the interests of her entire constituency against absolutely nothing. "Honestly, it's a tough call—on one hand, you have opposition to the repeal from a majority of Republicans, virtually all Democrats, and the entire healthcare industry, while on the other, you have not one sound argument or credible opinion," said Capito, admitting she was, even now, having difficulty balancing her desire to keep as many West Virginians insured as possible with there being no reason whatsoever to do otherwise. "This is an agonizing decision. Sure, there are sound justifications for voting no on 'repeal and replace,' but then there's emptiness, literal emptiness, when you look for reasons to vote yes. All I know is, I have to get this right somehow." At press time, Senator Capito had resigned herself to the fact that both sides had valid points and she would just have to go with her gut when the time came.

listen I started temping around age 20 and stopped around 25 only to transition to permanent for 3 years at the weirdest office I'd ever worked in and I can tell you with full confidence that this whole story is exactly what temping is like
My first real job (well, second real job but the first one I earned any money at) after college was substitute teaching for L.A. Unified on an emergency credential. Which left my summers open, so I temped for Kelly two summers running. And yes; what Ang says is dead true.

The thing about Persuasion that just kills me is that the central premise— "I hope the person who broke my heart has a miserable life and I get to watch them be humiliated while I get everything I ever wanted" is so universal.
But Wentworth is only able to fully enjoy it for like A DAY before he starts realizing how terrible it is. He watches Anne suffer in silence and he hates it. He watches her being treated like an inconvenience and a joke and a piece of furniture and he hates it. He hears sneering comments at her expense and he hates it. He spends evening after evening in her company, where he is celebrated as a handsome, dashing hero while she is shoved to the side and ignored and he hates it.
He probably spent a lot of heartbroken hours out on the sea wishing revenge on her (like ten years' worth), but then he gets to see it happening and revenge turns out not to be that sweet after all. He probably thought "I hope she never gets married to anyone else and she has to spend the rest of her miserable life with her miserable family, listening to them talk about nothing and regretting ever letting me go." But then he has to watch her live through it, and it is just excruciating. Watching her bite her tongue. Watching her keep her eyes down on her clasped hands. Watching her silently accept everything as if she deserves it.
He's like, "YES, it's all HAPPENING! She's all ALONE and PALE and OLD and…sad. And her family treats her terribly, and she's— no one is talking to her. No one even knows that she's funny and smart, they just— they just make her sit in the corner. She's hardly eating anything. And she really isn't that old, but they are acting like she's dead? Her family is even worse than they used to be, how is that even possible? Why isn't anyone helping her? Why is she the only person taking care of anyone? Why isn't anyone taking care of her?"
And his nasty "she's so altered I should not have known her again" comment that he KNOWS got back to her starts ringing in his ears. And his cocky "yeah I'm just here to find a YOUNG, HOT girl to marry now that I'm SUCH A CATCH, whatevs" approach starts to make him feel queasy, because she's HELPING, she's trying to stay out of his way and help him pick a young wife, and she hardly ever smiles anymore, not really. He watches her slip out of rooms when he enters them and he hears her laughing with her nephew sometimes but then go quiet when anyone else approaches, and he doesn't know what to do.
Anyway, every fandom has a bunch of Pride and Prejudice AUs, but I WANT PERSUASION AUS. I NEED THEM. I NEED THEM.

Executives from Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Mars Challenge Immersion Students
Finding actionable goals within complex global systems
Among the seven top executives leading this week's Industry Immersions, one message was clear: When navigating a complex system with a broad global reach, find the niche that's unique to your own expertise and passion.
This was sage career advice from those speakers hailing from multinational corporations. It was also a call for taking action on grand challenges like the impact of climate change in food systems or introducing sustainability to massive server farms.
To succeed, they told the students: Understand specifically where within the existing framework that you and your company can make the most impact.
Intersection of Business and Environmental Sustainability
As Global R&D Officer for Coca-Cola Co., Nancy Quan works for a brand dating back to the Industrial Revolution and with products found on the shelves in all but two countries around the world. With a company this large and a product so well established, finding room to innovate can be difficult.
Quan explains to the students in the Food and Ag Industry Immersion how her team focused on targeted initiatives to tackle greater sustainability goals. They developed partially plant-based disposable water bottles for Dasani and leveraged Coca-Cola's scale to work closely with smallholder farmers in developing countries to sustainably source their products. They trained mango farmers on how to get much more yield from their crops, benefiting the growers, the company and the environment.
Ralph Jerome, vice president of innovation at Mars, Incorporated, worked closely with Quan during her earlier years at Mars. His advice for students in the course is to understand the difference between individual problems versus the larger systems failures driving those issues.
"You need to lift yourself 50 feet up and see the entire playing field," says Jerome. "Where are the weakest links and how can you assemble them in a way that have impact?"
Robert Bernard, Microsoft's chief strategist for the environment and cities, champions a similar approach when talking to the Sustainable Energy Industry Immersion class.
Sustainability, Bernard says, is no longer segmented to a wing of the company, but dispersed throughout departments and activities. In his role, Bernard applies the technological might of Microsoft to the biggest environmental challenges facing the planet.
"My job is to think about the intersection of two worlds," says Bernard, in posing both a case study for the class and Microsoft's latest initiative with environment and innovation. "The first is the Anthropocene and the world that's changing all around us and the second is the Age of AI."
Like "a Bridge Still Being Built"
Glenn Nedwin, CEO and president of Second Genome, compares building a startup in a rapidly changing industry landscape to driving a racecar across a bridge still being built.
"You are going at light speed and you've just got to make things happen fast," he says to the Biotechnology Industry Immersion class. "It's exhilarating, but it's not for the faint of heart."
Nedwin is just as excited about his work as he is with his rock band "of nerdy scientists" that he's been playing with for 26 years. His advice for the students is to follow what they're passionate about.
In the CFO for Technology Industry Immersion, students gained insights into the career journey of Mike Kourey, CFO for Medallia, Inc.
"There is no one path, no right answer," says Kourey. "Everyone has a zig-zag path in their career."
Kourey served on the Graduate School of Management's Dean's Advisory Council when students adopted their first-ever ethics pledge. At times when he had to resist succumbing to internal pressures as CFO, Kourey took the pledge to heart: "'Stand like a rock in the river'—that just cannot be more true," he says.
David Hedin instead tracked the river's current from the safety of the riverbank when he and his wife began their biotech startup. His company, Expression Systems, provides technology to big pharma companies, small biotech businesses and academic institutions like UC Davis. Yet he likens his experience to the Gold Rush days.
"I'm just the shopkeeper selling the picks and shovels and Levis that enable the goldminers to go out and prospect," he says to the Biotechnology Immersion class. "The goldminers are doing the high-risk, high-reward activities. They're going to make a ton of money if they're able to."
Inspiring Students
Speaking of a prospect of a different kind, Xu Jing explains how she came directly from China to attend the Biotechnology Industry Immersion just the day before. Jing is excited to be able to sit in on the lectures as the next step in her application process to be an MBA student.
"This study method is totally different from China," MBA prospect Xu Jing says of the Immersion format. "And it's a great opportunity to participate in the class."
With a much shorter journey, from the UC Davis College of Engineering, postdoctoral researcher Sara Pace has been taking the Food and Ag Immersion as a chance to see what some of the businesses in this industry are doing regarding food waste, the subject of her research. Pace discovered the class as a Business Development Fellow at the Graduate School of Management.
She says one of the most impactful insights for her in the course has been the idea that AGR Partners CEO Ejnar Knudsen spoke of the week before on finding the "truth." Pace now aims to take a step back to think about the overall need regarding food waste and to make sure her work is "hitting the full truth" to ensure a lasting impact.
"It's great to see so much energy from the students and that they're interested in what we have to say," says Coca-Cola's Quan. "Being able to share our challenges, as well as the things we need help with, is really exciting."
