Preached at Holy Trinity, Charlotte on February 28, 2016. (Luke 13:1-9)
Last Monday night I was at our City Council meeting for the vote on the non-discrimination ordinances. I was one of 140 people who spoke. Some of us favored the ordinances and there were also those who opposed them. From the opposition, we heard recurring themes. There was a whole lot of misinformation being spewed about who can and can't use a public restroom. There was also a lot of quoting Scripture and condemnation of whoever doesn't interpret it the same way they do.
According to many of those who opposed the ordinances, Charlotte would pay for its errant ways if they passed. God would smite us, in a big way. Well, they passed. Are any of you scared?
We've heard this kind of logic before. Various groups who don't meet the moral standards of the religious right have been blamed for everything from 9-11 to Hurricane Katrina. According to them, God's in the business of rooting out evil-doers and punishing them. Sometimes in horrific ways.
Today's gospel lesson reminds us that this viewpoint is nothing new. Jesus points to some of the tragedies that were making headline news in his day, and he knows that the conventional wisdom of his time said those tragedies occurred because the people had done something to make God angry, so God zapped 'em. "But that's not how things work," Jesus says. God isn't out to get us when we sin. In fact, just the opposite.
The philosopher Susan Nieman has written about evil in modern thought. Basically, her thesis is that we ascribe evil to things we don't understand. It's a way of creating the other, the person or thing or idea we label evil. The other is the manifestation of fear and ignorance. Nieman says that once we understand what we had designated evil, we no longer see it as evil. For example, at one time a person with schizophenia was considered demon possessed. Now, we understand more about it. The person isn't evil. They have a mental illness. We ascribe evil to the things we don't understand.
So, when we throw God in the mix, and we project our own limited and often distorted way of thinking onto God, we figure God must perceive evil the same way we do.
That's the first fallacy in a theology that ascribes catastrophes and tragedies to the activity of God. That logic concludes, if you sin, according to our definition of sin, then you're evil and an enemy of God.
But there's a second problem with that theology. It assumes that God is angry and vengeful. And that's what Jesus addresses in today's lesson with a parable about a fig tree.
Now, Jesus could have chosen any kind of tree that his listeners might have been familiar with in this story. But he chooses a fig tree, and here's why. Because a fig tree tries a gardener's patience. It has to have just enough sunlight, just enough cultivation, just enough nutrients to produce figs. And even if you do all that, it can take a while for the tree to bear fruit. And, by a while I don't mean a year or two. It can take up to six years for a fig tree to grow fruit. That's a lot of work, and that's a lot of time to wait. Many a gardener would be tempted to cut the darn thing down after a year or two with no results. "You good for nothin' fig tree! You're outa here!" Chop! Chop! Chop!
And yet, that's not how the parable goes. Instead, after three years with no figs the man who planted the tree is ready to cut it down. "It's just wasting the soil," he says. But the gardener replies, "Let's give it another chance. Let's give it more time. Let's not be so quick to say it's worthless. Let's care for it and see what it can do."
Jesus wants his listeners to know that they're all wrong about God's justice.
You see, there are two kinds of justice. One is retributive justice. That's a tit for tat kind of justice. You hurt me or someone I care about, and I'm going to hurt you back. You say something I don't like, and I will verbally rip you to shreds. You attack our country and we will blow your country to smithereens. We call that justice. You will pay for what you've done, and you will pay in a big way. But that's a limited view of justice. It's retributive justice. That may be what we expect from something like the Supreme Court, but the Supreme Supreme Court takes us someplace else. God's not into retributive justice. When we talk about the justice of God, that's not what we're talking about.
God is into another kind of justice—restorative justice. Restorative justice has a different goal. It's all about restoring the relationship. When someone harms us, our relationship has been broken. The way to restore the relationship doesn't come through punishing the other person. It comes through mercy, forgiveness and reconciliation.
When we say that God is a God of justice, that's what we're talking about. Not that God is going to zap everyone who does evil, but that God will do everything possible to bring us back into relationship with him when we've wandered from that relationship. It's the kind of justice we'll read about next week in the story of the lost sheep and the prodigal son.
Trusting in the restorative justice of God is the work of Lent: Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful. Slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. Like the gardener in the parable of the fig tree.
The parable invites us to consider the distinction between judgment and mercy. The easiest way to deal with the fruitless fig tree would be to cut it down.
That's always the easiest way to deal with jobs that are difficult. Or people who are difficult. Or situations that are difficult. We just walk away. We cut them off. Problem solved.
It's more difficult to care for the tree, to hunker down and do the hard work. We'll have to endure a little manure under our fingernails and wait in hopeful expectation for fruit that may or may not come.
Mercy is like that. It takes lots of sweat and toil, with no guarantee of success or reward. There's a big difference between being a person of retributive justice and a person of restorative justice-- a person of mercy.
In today's parable, Jesus challenges his listeners, including us, to be merciful as God is merciful. As a community of people striving to be loving not judging, that's a direct challenge to us.
So, consider the trees God has planted in your life. They may be people or a place or a situation. They may be dreams or projects. Which ones have been giving you a hard time lately? Which ones aren't producing the fruit that you've expected? Which ones have you been tempted to chop down and walk away from? Perhaps with a little more tender care, these barren trees just might produce some fruit.
The question is, are you willing to be patient enough for this to happen? That's what the Jesus way of life, loving not judging, calls us to do.

1. Who drives with Cribble?
Anyone who says they have a vehicle and supporting documents.
2. Who organises the drivers?
The drivers are self organised.
3. Can anyone drive with Cribble?
Yes. We don't require any documentation but you must accept the terms and conditions.
4. Can anyone use a Cribble driver?
Yes. Anyone who can download Cribble from the AppStore or GooglePlay and who has a credit card or cash can request a driver if they accept the terms and conditions.
5. Is Cribble a taxi Operator or a courier?
Neither. Cribble is the software facilitating communication and payments between drivers and clients and keeping records.
6. Does Cribble provide assurance about the service?
No. Cribble just defines the terms and conditions to use the system which the drivers and clients must accept. It is the responsibility of the drivers and clients to comply with the terms and conditions. If non compliance is detected by Cribble or reported to Cribble then the offenders will be blocked from further usage.
7. Is Cribble a competitive driver service?
Yes. Drivers using Cribble will receive a much higher percentage of the fare than with other transport solutions. Drivers can also surge and set preferred destinations at any time to get the best trips.
8. Is Cribble a competitive client service?
Yes. Clients using Cribble can compare the prices of nearby drivers and pick the driver/car with the gig that suits them best. It will always be a great deal and the driver will always have the ride that he wants. Thats what makes Cribble a win/win deal and the preferred way to go for both drivers and clients.
9. What is the biggest difference between Cribble and other solutions?
It is the client who picks the driver and not a computer that allocates the driver. In addition, each driver will have a different gig so it's important to pick a driver who can provide the service that you need.
10. What prevents the driver from picking the client?
The position or need of the client is unknown to the driver until the client finds an available driver and decides to place an order.
11. Can a client book a car in advance?
No. Cribble is a real-time system that shares the availability of a driver right now for immediate hire.
12. Who sets Cribble pricing?
Cribble defines the framework with a minimum fee and a price per unit of time. The driver can change the base price per unit of time at any time or for any reason (before accepting a trip). When a client clicks on a driver to get a quote then the price per unit of time stipulated by the driver will be used to make a fixed price quote.
13. Why would a driver change the price per hour?
A self-employed Cribble driver will want to maximise profit by getting the most trips at the highest price and lowest costs. Some drivers may want to offer discounts to get more business and others may want to increase prices when demand is perceived to be high. Other drivers with a special gig may want to charge more or drivers in a specific area may want to adjust pricing. Those are all the choices of the independent Cribble drivers.
14. Are there any extra costs for clients?
Normally not but some extras are foreseen in the price list. These include an airport surcharge, waiting time and a cleaning charge.
15. How can I pay a Cribble driver?
Drivers accept cash or credit card payments or both. If you make a cash order you must pay with cash and if you make a card order you must pay with card. Cash buyers should pay as soon as meet the driver because the price is fixed. Card buyers must pre-register a card which will be charged as the trip ends. You will receive an email confirmation.
16. What can Cribble drivers carry?
That's something to be agreed with the driver. Drivers will explain their gig in their profile that you can read before booking.
17. What is a gig?
A gig is a job for a short time. Each driver may have specific services on offer. That's the drivers gig and competitive edge. The gig could be described in terms of characteristics of the vehicle or special services provided by the driver. The description of the gig is one of the thinks that makes picking a driver a unique concept.
18. Can this service be used to legally move people?
Most drivers, including licensed private hire drivers would be breaking the law by doing so. There this is not allowed in the terms and conditions.
Taxi drivers might be allowed to use the service to find passengers. We have sought URGENT clarification from TFL 13th March 2019 and await a response.
1. What is a Cribble Shop?
A Cribble Shop is a way to present your goods to potential customers. Simply scan a barcode, add a photo, brief description and price and you are ready to go in less than 30 seconds.
2. Who can add a Cribble Shop?
Everyone who has successfully registered to accept payments on Cribble can add a Cribble Shop. There is a shortcut to edit your shop configuration on the home screen. Simply taphold the add contact button and you will be able to start adding things to your store (if you have already registered to accept payments).
3. How can someone use Cribble in my shop?
Everyone who enters your physical shop can scan your barcodes and pay with Cribble. The client simply scans the barcode and only needs to enter their cvc to pay.
4. What happens if someone scans a barcode in a competitor's shop?
If your competitor is within a 40-50 kilometre radius of your store then the article will be listed with a reference to your store. In this case, the approximate address of your store will be displayed together with the price. If the customer clicks the item they can buy the item and if they taphold the item then they will see the other items in your store.
5. How does Cribble know the address of my shop?
When you scan an item and add it to your shop your approximate GPS co-ordinates are captured and recorded with the article. The GPS co-ordinates are converted to an approximate address when your store is proposed as the result of a scan.
6. Why do I need to add an item to my Cribble shop?
Barcodes are added to goods by the manufacturer but the price is allocated by the shop. You therefore need to add the price of the product in your shop. The picture and description are optional but in practice you will want to add this to have a nice shop.
7. Do I need to add all my items to the Cribble shop?
Add whatever items you want to allow your clients to self-scan and self-pay. If you don't add an item then your clients can't self-scan with Cribble and they won't find the price when in the store of your competitor. Your client may also be confused if some items are in Cribble and others are not. We therefore recommend to add all items to give your clients a uniform shopping experience.
8. How does Cribble compare to Apple Pay?
Apple Pay is a mechanism to store credit card details in your iphone 6 so that you can use your phone as a contactless card. If you also download the Apple Store App then you will have a similar experience to using Cribble but it will only work in the Apple Store and only if you have an iphone 6 or better. Cribble enables all stores to offer a similar shopping experience to all customers who have any iOS or any Android phone.
9. What is the additional cost of having a Cribble Shop?
Our standard payment fees are augmented by 8% and 20 cents for a Cribble Shop.
10. Where do my clients put the delivery address for goods bought in my Cribble shop?
If delivery charges are included the easiest option is just to request the buyer to add their delivery address in the payment form. If you want to charge for delivery then add an item called delivery in your store.
11. How can I issue a refund to a Cribble payment?
You can taphold the corresponding payment in the "payments" chat and then click OK to initiate the refund. The total amount will be refunded to the buyer. Charges will be refunded to the seller. To prevent accidental refunds we ask you to type a three digit code when making a refund.
12. What is the name of my Cribble shop?
The primary name of your Cribble shop is the email address that is also your name in Cribble and is linked to your bank account to receive payments. However, you may add a "friendly name" and a picture of your shop . When added, your friendly name will be used when your shop or cart for your shop is displayed. We will always show your email on the payment form and in Cribble chat messages for consistency with the email confirmations.
13. Does Cribble Shop have a shopping cart?
Yes. Scanned items are automatically added to your cart if you are in a Cribble Shop. Clicking on an item in a Cribble shop listing will also add it to the cart. If you want to remove an item simply swipe left. If you want to empty the entire cart swipe the total left. If you want to pay for the entire cart click the total.
14. Can I add an item to my Cribble Shop that doesn't have a barcode?
Yes. The preferred option is to create a Cribble code as described below so that your clients still have a code that they can scan. It is also possible to addd an item to your shop with a unique reference (e.g. your email address followed by a number) and this item will appear in your shop listing and can be added to the shopping cart. If you crete a QR code or a semacode for this unique value then Cribble will also search for the article.
15. How to I find Cribble Shops?
You can find nearby Cribble Shops by clicking the geoSearch icon on the home screen. This will search for shops close to your current location so it is necessary to enable location services on your phone. Alternatively, in the Favourites screen you will find an icon to search for nearby shops..
16. What can I do with the list of shops?
You can click on a shop to see the the list of goods available and click on an item to add it to your cart. You can even buy the goods and have them delivered with the agreement of the store owner.
17. How can I find Cribble Shops that are not nearby?
If a shop owner sends you a link or a QR code you can click or scan it to go directly to his store. If you have a Cribble contact who has a store you can also access their store. Store owners can put this type of information on their website so that it will show up in searches.
18. Can I add taxes to items in my shop?
Yes. You may define up to four tax rates and decide which tax rate applies to each item. You may also decide whether you want to show the prices with tax included or tax excluded.
19. Can I add discounts to items in my shop?
Yes. Please contact us for more details.
20. Can I add barcodes for weighed items such as fruit or meat?
Yes. We support the barcode 2 format. Please contact us for more details.
21. Can I add discount vouchers?
Yes. Just add a product with a negative amount and it will become a discount voucher that can be scanned like any other barcode.
22. Can I upload all my inventory as a batch rather than entering the items manually?
Yes. Please contact us for more details.
23. How can I update my inventory and accounts when a sale is made?
We can call a web-hook and pass you the required information. Please contact us for more details.
Cribble Pay
1. How do Cribble payments differ from web purchases?
If you want to accept payments on your website then you need select a payments service provider and add their payments button and shopping cart interface. You then need your clients to visit your website to make a payment.
Cribble simplifies this process because you don't need a website. You simply download the Cribble app, fill one form and start accepting payments while you chat with your clients.
2. How will I know if my contact accepts payments?
When you are chatting with your contact you will see a credit card icon to pay if your contact has registered to receive payments. You will also see a green $ sign beside the contact name on the Cribble main page if your contact accepts payments.
3. How do I make a Cribble payment?
The first time you make a payment you must enter your credit card information. For subsequent transactions you must enter your CVC (number on the back of your card) and the currency/amount. Cribble then securely organizes the payment in conjunction with a PCI certified payment service provider.
4. Will I receive a receipt?
Yes. you will receive an immediate confirmation right in the Cribble chat. In addition, you will receive an email from the payment provider.
5. Do I have to re-enter my credit card details for each payment
No. The payment service provider remembers the last credit card that you used to pay someone else. The card details are never seen by Cribble due to the security mechanisms implemented by the payment service provider to ensure PCI compliance.
6. How do I make payments?
Start by adding your supplier as a contact. You can then select the card symbol in the chat session to make a payment. If you have previously entered your credit card details you can simply enter the amount and optional description to pay. First time users need to enter full credit card details.
8. Which payment service providers does Cribble support?
Cribble has an open model so that we can work with a number of payment service providers to bring our customers choice and ensure that the payment service providers remain competitive.
We are currently working with Stripe (www.stripe.com) who offer all clients a flat competitive rate with no sign-up or other recurring fees.
9. What are the fees for a Cribble payment ?
Cribble charges a premium of 0.6% plus 5 cents to the fees charged by the payment service provider.
10. Can everyone receive payments?
Not yet. Both companies and sole traders (individuals) can register to receive credit card payments. However, we are not yet ready to register customers in all countries. Cribble can currently register customers in USA, Canada, Australia and most european countries.
11. Why do I need to provide many details to receive payments?
It is necessary to comply with the regulations for Anti Money Laundering which mandate certain "know your customer" requirements which must be performed during the registration process to accept payments. It will also be evident that this information is necessary in order to lodge the funds in your bank account.
12. How do I activate incoming payments via Cribble?
Taphold the Payments contact for a couple of seconds and you will be invited to fill a form to accept payments.
13. Can I fill the payment acceptance form on a larger screen?
Sure. Simply share the form with a device that has a bigger screen and you can fill it there. If you prefer you can click one of the following links to open a country
specific form.
United Kingdom
United States
Don't forget to register with the same email address as you use in Cribble so that we can link the accounts.
14. Can everyone make payments?
Yes. Everyone with a Visa, MasterCard or Amex card can make paym
15. What if I lose my phone?
It will not be possible for someone else to use your phone to make payments unless they know your CVC which must be entered for each payment. As added safety, lock your phone and cancel your card if your phone is lost or stolen.
16. Will I receive a receipt when I make a payment?
Yes. You will receive a payment message within Cribble and an email from our payment provider.
17. Can I print the receipt?
Yes. You may print the email from your normal email program. Alternatively, if you have an iOS device and a compatible printer, you may print the Cribble payment message by swiping the message right.
18. Is Cribble a regulated bank?
No. Cribble is neither a bank nor a payment service provider. Cribble is purely a technology platform that facilitates secure message exchange and payments. Cribble will never see your card details. Cribble is working with regulated payment service providers who are compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
Cribble Chat
1. Can I chat with everyone?
No. You can only chat with other Cribble users that invite you or accept your invitation. This is how Cribble prevents spam.
2. Can I have group chats?
No. We have decided that private messages should be one to one.
3. Can I send photos via Cribble?
Yes. You can share photos but images are not heavily encrypted.
4. Can I attach documents to a Cribble message?
No. Cribble messages are just short text style messages.
5. Can I send a link via Cribble?
Yes. You may send a link such as http://www.cribble.eu or even just www.cribble.eu and the app will open the link in your browser. Clearly the contents of the link will not be encrypted but the link itself will be encrypted.
6. Can I send a link to a video via Cribble?
Yes. If your video is available on YouTube or any other site you may send a link which will be encrypted during transmission. Clearly, when you download the video itself, the video will be viewed in the browser, so it will not be encrypted by Cribble.
7. Can I dictate a Cribble message
Yes. Just click the microphone on your keyboard and your message will be typed for you if your phone supports this feature.
8. How long do Cribble servers keep my messages?
The Cribble servers keep messages until they are delivered. This is usually for less than one second but could be hours or days in the case that the recipient does not open the app. In any case, the messages are fully encrypted using keys that only the sender and receiver know.
9. How long are messages stored on my phone?
Messages are not stored for any particular time limit. However, we respect the fact that your phone has limited memory and therefore automatically limit the number of messages that are stored per conversation. We currently keep about 20 messages per conversation.
10. Can I delete messages from my phone?
Yes. You can swipe left on any message to delete all messages with that contact.
11. Can I also delete the payment log on my phone?
No. We have decided that the payment log can't be deleted (unless you delete the app) and that we will keep the last 50 transactions for easy reference.
12. Can I delete a contact?
Yes. You can delete a contact and all related messages by swiping left on a contact.
13. Can I chat to my Cribble Cab driver?
Once your order is accepted by the driver you can add the driver as a contact and chat. The chat history and the contact is deleted when the trip ends.
Cribble Security
1. How does Cribble security work?
Cribble uses the highly secure RSA algorithm to encrypt and sign your messages. This is a well known and well studied algorithm that is totally secure with an appropriate key length. The important characteristic of the algorithm is that unlike most encryption algorithms there is no shared secret key and therefore little opportunity for the key to be stolen. Cribble is making this technology available to everyone in the interest of promoting the right to privacy when communicating and making payments on the internet.
2. Will Cribble security work on all phones?
Cribble works best on a high performance phone such as iPhone5 or Android phone which runs version 4.4 or higher. Typically phones with a big screen and not more than 3 years old will be appropriate.
3. Why do other messaging apps not offer encryption?
This is becoming a standard feature.
4. What happens if I lose my phone?
If you lose your phone and you have not locked it then the finder (thief) could open the phone and look at your messages.
5. Can I install my secret security code on a second phone?
No. The secret key must remain in the phone to minimize the risk that someone can find and copy it.
6. Can I decide to encrypt some messages and not others?
No. We have decided to encrypt all Cribble messages except images as a matter of policy.
7. Is Cribble security better than BitCoin security?
Yes. BitCoin security depends on the fact that there will be more good guys defending the system than bad guys trying to crack it. As soon as there would be more bad guys then the system is hacked in minutes so there is no inherent strength to the security.
8. Is Cribble security different than SSL?
Yes. SSL uses the RSA algorithm to exchange a shared session key and then encrypts the messages in the session. This mechanism encrypts your messages from your phone to the server of your provider. The provider then has the message in the clear.
9. Surely some implementations use SSL as an end to end security between end user devices?
Yes this is true. This means that the end to end session is encrypted using a symmetric algorithm. The point is that these symmetric algorithms are relatively easy to crack. Typically a few days for a well organized attack. That is why it is important to keep changing the session key. It also means that whatever you write can be public within a few days :-(
10. How does Cribble encrypt data stored locally on the phone?
We don't believe in local encryption. If someone gets access to your phone they can read your messages through the app so why spend a lot of energy encrypting the disk when everything is clear on the screen and in the memory of the app.
11. Does Cribble sign messages to provide proof or origin?
Yes. All messages are signed using RSA. Technically, after the message is encrypted using the public key of the receiver it is encrypted using the private key of the sender.
12. Can government organizations read my messages?
No. Cribble is using RSA with a key length that has never been cracked, neither with super computers nor distributed networked attacks.
13. Will it ever be possible to crack RSA?
Yes. But this is not really a concern because cracking a single key will take years of super computing power and the algorithm has the property that this difficulty increases exponentially with the length of the key, so that it requires twice as much time to crack a key length of 1025 as it does to crack a key length of 1024.
14. Does Cribble work with different RSA key lengths?
Yes. Cribble has been tested with key lengths that are many orders of magnitude more difficult to crack. The use of a longer key length may be an optional upgrade in the future.
15. Finally, do governments allow the use of strong encryption?
Governments prefer to be able to easily snoop on all communication. However, they accept that if such technology is widely available at a low price and used for payments then it is allowed.
Cribble Codes
1. What is a Cribble code?
A Cribble code is a convenient way to share contact and payment details to make the process of accepting a payment as simple and fast as possible. With a single click, a Cribble user can capture everything needed to make a payment. This means that with a Cribble code making a payment will only take a couple of seconds and a full product description can be captured.
2. Technically - what is a Cribble code?
A Cribble code is a QR code formatted as follows: m=email-address/Currency/Amount/Description. For example m=
The space character is not allowed in a Cribble code so use the tilda (~) as a space in the code. It will be automatically converted back to a space on the screen.
3. How do I make a Cribble code?
Once you have registered for payments you can make a Cribble code using Cribble. Goto the shop configurtion screen by holding the add contact icon on the home screen. Then tap the link icon and as you enter currency, amount and description the Cribble code will be created on your screen. You can copy/paste this to print, email, send via Cribble etc. Alternatively, you will find many websites where you can make QR codes. Just follow the format above to make a Cribble code.
4. How can I scan a Cribble code?
Just click the Cribble code icon on the main screen to scan a Cribble code and this will automatically pre-fill the payment entry screen with the information on the code. You will be able to make the payment even if you are not a contact of th
e seller.
5. Can I scan a Cribble code on another phone?
Sure. That is a possible scenario. For example, a retailer could enter the amount and description to generate a Cribble code. He could then show this to the client who could scan the Cribble code from the retailer's phone to make the payment. This is a very similar process to taking payment with a mobile card reader with the added benefit that the client doesn't share their card details or put their card into an unknown device.
6. How do I put a Cribble code on my YouTube Video?
Simply make a QR code as described above and save as a .PNG image. It is best to make a high resolution image. For example, 3000x3000 pixels. Upload the image as a watermark in the branding section of your channel and it will appear on all your videos. Clicking your watermark will open your channel so it is a good idea to put a larger QR code in your channel art to make scanning even faster.
7. Can a Cribble code be scanned with a normal QR code reader?
Yes. A "normal" QR code reader that can be downloaded to almost any smartphone such as (Nokia, Blackberry, Windows, Android, iOS, etc) will open a URL. To adapt your Cribble codes so that they can be read by and QR code reader in addition to Cribble then add the following prefix to your Cribble codes.
so that an example cribble code would be :
8. Can I add a background to my payment screen?
Yes. If you open the payment screen by scanning a Cribble code then you can add a postfix to the Cribble code which is a link to a picture that will form the background. the postfix is of the format
The picture must be a png of jpeg format.
9. Can we turn a Cribble code into a link?
Yes. A Cribble code that can be scanned by any QR code reader is also a link so you can use it is a link on a website or email so that your clients can click on an electronic Cribble code image. For example you can click on :
and if you enter your credit card details a real payment of one euro will be made.
10. Can I generate a QR code from a Cribble code link?
Yes. You can add a prefix to a Cribble code link to generate a Cribble code. You would typically do this in a webpage to create a Cribble code dynamically from the price and description of some goods but here is a prefix that you could use thanks to google.
Therefore, if you click the following link you will have a Cribble code that can be scanned to open the same link as we have in the previous example.
11. Why would I use a QR code rather than a barcode?
Barcodes are fixed by the manufacturer of goods. The Cribble Shop allows you to link a price to a barcode at a specific location so that you can quickly create a shop. Cribble QR codes are much more dynamic and flexible because they can be dynamically created and contain all the information to make a payment. For example, if you have a restaurant and want to allow your client to pay the bill then you would put a QR code on the bill so that the client could scan to pay the entire bill rather than a bunch of items on the menu. Similarly, if you have a website with a shopping basket you could generate a QR code allowing payment during the checkout process.
12. Can I add a Cribble code to my Cribble Shop instead of a Barcode?
Yes. If you already have a Cribble code simply scan it into your Cribble shop and any associated description and picture will be pre-filled in the form. In this case, if your customer scans your QR code it will be added to the basket for your store just as a barcode related item would be added.
13. Can I create a Cribble code to open my Cribble shop?
Yes. Create a Cribble code of the format w=email-address.
14. Can I add a prefix to a Cribble code that will download Cribble if not installed?
If you add the prefix http://www.cribbleweb.com/? then your Cribble shop will be opened in a browser if the code is scanned with a normal QR reader whereas if it is scanned with Cribble then your Cribble shop will be opened in Cribble.
15. Can I add a prefix to a Cribble Code that will open the Cribble App?
Yes. Add the prefix cribble://app/? and most normal QR code readers will open the Cribble app. Similarily, if you scan or click such a code within Cribble the correct screen will be opened.
Cribble WiFi
1. What is Cribble WiFi?
Cribble WiFi is a crowd sourced database of WiFi networks and associated passwords.
2. How do I connect to Cribble WiFi?
You can use Cribble to scan any Wifi-QR-code that you find or search for nearby WiFi within Cribble. You wont need to type a passwords but you will have to click a few Oks on iOS.
3. How do I share a WiFi code?
You can create a Cribble Code that other users can scan or you can save your WiFi in the Cribble WiFi database so that others can find it.
4.Why would anyone share their WiFi password
If you have a cafe, bar etc then it is normal that your clients will ask for the code so why not make it easy. Many people will also find it convenient to share their home WiFi so that family and friends don't waste their time mis-typing a huge pass-code.
1. Can I install on multiple devices?
Yes, but each device must have a unique email address that you can verify. This means that you won't receive the same message on multiple devices.
2. What happens if I re-install on the same device?
When you uninstall then all storage on your device used by the app will be deleted. This means that all messages on your device will be deleted, and all your security keys will be deleted. Therefore when you re-install you will need to re-verify your email and generate new security keys. If there are messages in transit when you uninstall and delete your security keys the messages will not be lost but you will not be able to decrypt them with the new security keys. In this circumstance, you should ask your contact to send the message again. You will also need to re-enter your credit card details upon first use.
3. Why does re-installation reset everything?
This is mainly because Android and iOS both delete all data when you uninstall and because the main reason for re-install is to reset the app back to its original state.
Geo Location
1. Is it necessary to enable location to use Cribble
If you want to drive or ride with Cribble you will need to share your location.
If you want to find nearby stores or nearby wifi you will need to share your location.
If you want to purchase Cribble Cover you must share your location even if using another app such as Uber.
If you add a shop you must share your location when editing the shop otherwise your shop wont be found.
If you use Cribble to scan barcodes you must share your location to find the current shop or nearby shops.
Your location is not necessary (and not used) when you exchange messages or make payments.
2. Will geo-location drain my battery?
If you enable high accuracy or GPS (device) only modes this may drain your battery. However, Cribble does not need these modes so select low accuracy so that location is determined from wifi and data networks. Low accuracy location is available on all iOS and Android devices and will not drain your battery.
Other Permissions
1. Is it necessary to accept notifications?
Yes. The Cribble messaging system that is used to communicate between users (e.g. when you order a Cribble or make a payment) uses notifications to alert the other party. If you disable notifications then you may miss important messages or important status changes such as "driver arriving".
2. Why does Cribble ask for other permissions?
Cribble only asks for permissions needed by you. For example, if you want to take a picture we need access to your camera. Similarly, we ask to access your contacts to help you type an email address without mistakes. We no not use your email addresses for our gain.
1. Is my data backed up?
No. Backup is explicitly disabled. If you want to send confidential messages you don't want them backed-up to the cloud for everyone to see.
2. Can I enable backup if I want?
You could but please don't because that would violate the terms of use.
Registration Troubleshooting
1. How do I get help in Cribble?
On many pages you can click the logo at the top of the page for help
2. What is the most common problem during registration?
Trying to register without sharing location. We need to know your location to perform country specific validations. In addition to rendering the driver functionality useless, lack of location is likely to make parts of the app that need location slow. We don't use location in background unless you are on a trip or an online driver looking for a trip so it's best to enable location when prompted by the App since we can only ask once.
3. What can I do if I don't receive notifications?
Go to settings and enable notifications. If they appear to be enabled then disable and then enable again.
7. I didn't receive my password to verify my email !!
Emails are occasionally delayed but the most common error is a typo in the email address. Common examples are hotmai.com instead of hotmail.com and hotmail.co.com instead of hotmail.co.uk or hotmail.com

text: By John Hatley PE Workboat operators face a tough time holding onto decent margins while caught in a squeeze between escalating operating costs and slumping day charter rates. How can you lessen the grip between today's rising costs and the battered charter market? Consider the benefit of slightly reduced boat speeds to capture big fuel savings. A vessel's fuel consumption is directly related to propulsion efficiency and hull resistance. Hull resistance is comprised of four factors; they are frictional, wave making, eddy, and air resistance. Other practical considerations also have considerable impact such as hull paint condition; sea state, currents, plus vessel loading and trim. Slower vessel speeds work to reduce fuel consumed because of a fundamental engineering principal that designers call the "Propeller Cubic Law." We don't need to say much about it here except that slight decreases in vessel speed lead to significant reductions in required propulsion power. This reduction in horsepower directly translates into significantly lower fuel burn. Typical savings. A workboat takes an outbound 200 nautical mile route and historically burns 171 gallons per hour at a speed of 13 knots. Total fuel burnout is about 2631 gallons during this 15.4-hour transit leg. What's the benefit of a slight speed reduction? Your boat could save nearly 11.6% in fuel (307 gallons) by slowing down only 6% to 12.2 knots on this leg. The penalty? A mere 1-hour added to your voyage leg time (6.4%). This is a very little time penalty to achieve dramatic fuel savings. Remember these savings mean you've gained much more if viewed as the amount you need in earned revenue to pay for fuel. If your vessel makes 100 round trips a year, the fuel savings could amount to well over 60,000 gallons per boat. This may not immediately apply to certain boats as others may pay for fuel under a charter agreement. Ask these customer's if they value your operation because you intend to save them tens of thousands of gallons of fuel per boat each year on this run. This ought to get your customer's attention and bring added interest that improves the charter employment outlook for your vessels. You have to balance other things when considering slow steaming such as timely delivery of goods to your customer. However slow steaming can save substantial fuel dollars, ease the strain on your propulsion equipment, and only slightly add voyage travel time. The attached chart gives you a handy way to measure what percentage of fuel savings are available to operators wanting to take advantage of slower speeds.

College Prep Program
For students entering grades 10–12
June 27 to August 1, 2020
The College Prep Program is designed for motivated students who are seeking academic enrichment. By concentrating on one course, a student is able to fully embrace a subject and be rewarded by a sense of real accomplishment at the end of the summer. We seek to make the selected subject an integral part of each student's life for five weeks, and our hope is that we create a desire to explore further. While the schedule requires a great deal of commitment, the experience can be very rewarding. Students are challenged academically, and they have the chance to share their interest in a course with other able students under the guidance of inspiring teachers.
Many students are able to satisfy their schools' requirements for full-year courses—such as U.S. history, the sciences, or mathematics—or to accelerate their progress. Other students build a firm foundation for further study or explore a topic for which there is no course offered at their own school.
Students entering grades 10 through 12 with a record of solid academic performance and good citizenship are encouraged to apply for this program. Each major class averages 10 students, and most have two teachers: the lead teacher brings experience at the secondary or college level, thorough knowledge of the subject, and the ability to work well with high school students; the teaching intern is a college senior or recent graduate who knows the field and has demonstrated an interest in teaching.
Students in the College Prep Program take one major course that meets for three hours on Monday through Saturday mornings. Major courses for which students may earn credit have an additional 1.5-hour session during the first half of the afternoon, four days per week. Students taking morning-only major courses take a minor course during the first half of the afternoon, four days per week. Every student also participates in a sport during the second half of the afternoon, four days per week. Students spend a short period of time for a few days of the summer participating in the work program, doing chores that benefit the community. Each evening except Saturday, a supervised study period is conducted in the dorms and the library to help students develop good study habits. See the daily schedule here.
Playing fields, tennis and basketball courts, a swimming pool, country roads for cycling, and a natural environment give numerous opportunities for recreational activities. In their free time after dinner until the evening study period begins, students can play sports, study, join in other organized campus activities, or just relax. Weekend activities include dances, movies, and trips to Six Flags amusement park, whitewater rafting, Boston, New York City, and other places of interest.

Since we were talking about doing taste tests to explore the sense of taste, I thought it would be fun to look at ways to explore other senses as well. When it comes to learning about sound, music and rhythms are a great place to start.
This Junk Jam idea from Mosswood Connections (which came from the Exploratorium in San Francisco) is really simple to set up and uses trash to help kids play with and learn about sound.
You can play with matching rhythm, exploring pitch, counting as you hit different bottles, exploring how filling containers with different things (rice, beans, water, air) causes them to make different sounds, writing numbers on the containers and writing a song based on the order you play the bottles and more.
These containers are great to keep around and use as recycled instruments even when you're not playing the game, and your kids will have as much fun with them as they do with purchased musical instruments.
Do you play any musical/sound games with your kids? I'd love to hear about them.

A move towards activism for the Spanish fragrance market
Aug 30, 2019 | By Maria Florencia Ameneiros
Nov 20, 2015
If you are wondering why shop floors are stocked with 90s inspired underwear, and just how scallop detailing is currently influencing design, wonder no more.
Here's a teaser of the key lingerie retail trends and themes you need to know right now.
1. Logo waistbands
The 90s are back- and the waistband has become the talking point again, embellished with statement words and logos. Forget tight and uncomfortable pants, the consumer demand for loungewear is pushing retailers to create a new wave of underwear with a visible sports-inspired elastic band, remixed with an urban 90s twist. See Chromat's Mathletes collection for inspiration.
2. Daring Christmas styles are here
While lingerie at Christmas can seem like the type of gift that could go terribly wrong, it's actually a great time to invest. Retailers know that demand is high during this period, so they release collections that really push the boundaries. Sultry reds and seductive silks come into their own at this time.
3. Peekaboo detailing
Rather than covering up, it's all about alluding to sensuality with lingerie sets created with peekaboo openings. See BlueBella Lingerie and Nightwear for inspo.
4. Soft and wireless
Taking inspiration from Womenswear, plus a nod to all things Active, the latest lingerie brands have fully embraced soft and wireless shapes. Bras have become fashionable bra-tops – with exaggerated scallop detailing and graphic lace. Fortnight Lingerie, whose latest campaign is all about burning restrictive underwire push-up bras in favour of soft bras is a great example of this.
INTIMATES, IN DETAIL: Full length, detailed reports. The latest trade show takeaways first. Live Q&As to ensure all your questions are answered. The future trends that are going to be huge. Our ridiculously clever Intimates team deliver all of that, and then some. Sound good? Join WGSN.

Though initially shocked, Akagi recovered shortly after.
"Oh, I get it," he said. "You guys saw the TV show, right? Thanks very much!"
Akagi went on to explain that Malshina was going to give us enough of a fight to last another six months at least, but unfortunately Hatte Saburo, the executive producer of every Super Sentai show, put a stop to that.
"How am I supposed to become a hero like this?! And then as soon as we couldn't transform anymore, Mitsuki and Yumeria just took off!"
Suddenly, the sound of the MMZ-01 communicator came out of the box he was supposed to deliver!
"What? A MoeMoe Z-Cune?!"
"Yes... this is Akagi Nobuo."
"Eh? What'd you say? What? Seriously, what... oh, it's just Hatte Sabu... HATTE SABURO?!"
With a sudden shock, Nobuo tearfully nods his head.
"Yes. Okay. Absolutely."
He turns to the audience, sobbing: "Hatte Saburo said... Akibaranger... IS BACK!"
"Okay, here we go... here we go. Hey! That mom over there, cover that kid's eyes! You don't want your kid to become like these adults out here!"
Suddenly, the lights went down, and the transformation tune played. When the lights came back up, Akiba Red was standing next to Akagi, and Akagi ran off!
"Okay, let's do this... if it's dinosaurs we're talking about, I'd be Abare Blue... and I'd want Ptera. Like, when Ptera gets hungry, she's like GABURINCHO!" -- he's making a reference to both Abaranger and the new Kyoryuger here.
"Pain is... pain is... pain is...!"
Unfortunately, the audience isn't getting fired up enough, and Akagi coughs, so he calls for a do-over. The second time, he manages to get the audience to fill in the "... power!" part with him.
He begins to do the pose, but stops short of finishing.
"Are there any delusional people with color names out there? Like, uh... Midorikawa-san...or... Momoi-san, or... Tasaki-san, no, wait, not that one... Kaneda-san or... Shirakura-san?"
The mention of Midorikawa gets a big laugh, since Midorikawa is the last name of the voice actor who provided the voice of the monster that fueled Yumeria's fujoshi fetish fantasies from Season 1, Kabuki-cho. Momoi is the last name of the singer of the Akibaranger theme song. Tasaki is Akibaranger's director. Kaneda is referencing Osamu Kaneda, a director of the Kamen Rider series, and Shirakura is name of the Akibaranger's producer.
Each one of their names has a color kanji in it. Midorikawa is green, Momoi is pink, Kaneda is gold, and Shirakura is white. Tasaki is mentioned, since he's the show's director, but Akagi says his name won't work -- it doesn't have a color kanji in it.
(This is intended as a joke, by the way, and a shout out to the crew, not as any indication of who's going to be in the show.)
The show ends with Akiba Red exiting stage right, while, "GOOD KIDS, DON'T WATCH." appears on the screen.
Here's the video if you want to watch it yourself.

See the original textThis decaffeinated coffee is the friendly CO2 procedure, and thus been enkoffeiniert chemical - and residue-free. Because we not only value on enjoyment and perfect aromas, but also making sure that our coffee is digestible. Our piano is native to Brazil and we rave about for its typical lateinarmirikanische aroma. Clearly malziges caramel, in conjunction with almond and light notes of marzipan give a pleasant fullness. Spicy creamy nut aromas give it a unique character and pizzazz. He is mild bodied, this means suitable for all types of preparations. We prefer him as brewed coffee, so that he can fully unfold its subtle flavor nuances.
- Store Information
TOP COFFEE FOR YOU! True coffee lust can only be awakened by fragrantly fresh and, above all, first-class coffee. Every coffee connoisseur will recognise quality from fresh beans. The quality of a coffee begins with the purchase of the green, as yet unroasted beans. Only personally selected goods according to our strict quality criteria are bought and roasted, which is why our roasting masters have high demands on the small beans: Coffee cherries should be harvested by hand; this is very time-consuming, but prevents unripe or already rotten cherries from impairing the quality. This is followed in most cases by wet processing, in which the pulp is dissolved from the coffee bean. After drying in the sun or in drying plants, the grapes are read again by hand. The high-quality coffee beans are packed and shipped protected.

HTC to fight revenue drop with quad-core "Edge", as well as razor-thin "Ville"
HTC to unveil quad-core Edge, razor-thin Ville at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona at the end of t
HTC have been in the ring, taking punches from Apple and Samsung, but that hasn't stopped them continuing their fight in the mobile industry. After some financial stumbles in 2011, because of the constant onslaught from Apple and Samsung, as well as the spying allegations from the security breach of "Carrier IQ", HTC have seen better days.
HTC are set to unveil at least four new high-end handsets at the Mobile World Congress 2012 which is held in Barcelona, Spain and runs between February 27th to March 1st. HTC is expected to unveil an ultra-thin smartphone code-named HTC "Ville," which is said to be competition for Motorola's Droid RAZR. "Edge" is meant to be unveiled, which should be a quad-core smartphone, one of the world's first.
Some analysts are saying that HTC's future phones could be the ones to push them back onto the winning path. Marc Einstein, Tokyo-based Industry Manager for Mobile and Wireless Communications for Frost and Sullivan has said to Reuters:
The smartphone industry is so fast moving, I wouldn't count them out.

Last night En Noir put on their Fall/Winter 2014 runway show called "Tunnel Vision" at the Park Avenue Armory. The entrance to the show was draped in a cavern of black fabric, molded into sharp wrinkles so it looked like the interior of a rocky tunnel. As attendees drew closer to their seats, the size of the tunnel expanded to a gaping mouth that opened onto the runway.
This immersive stage design was the collaborative effort of En Noir's creative director Jason Wolter and the artist duo Snarkitecture made up of Daniel Arsham and Alex Mustonen. The two creative powers have a history of working together. "They're freaking amazing," Wolter said of Snarkitecture before the show. "They can take a vision that we bring to them or something that I have in my head, and they can build it into something like this." Last year, Snarkitecture fabricated a volcanic mountain for En Noir's "Coal Wasteland" presentation at Milk Studios, a show that encompassed Wolter's concept of "fashion theater."
Daniel Arsham talked to us about creating the giant tunnel for this year's show:
Each season Jason will come to us with a kind of general concept. The last project that we did with them at Milk was a cold, all-black landscape. The keyword for this collection and the energy here is "tunnel," so the first thing we started doing was looking at images. I read an article in the Times about this new subway tunnel that they're building underneath Grand Central, and in the photos they have this rocky texture, and above that, they put this actual fabric to hold rocks and things from falling when they did the construction. So we did some research and found this material, actually the same material they use in the tunnels.
Part of the thing that we look at and Jason and Rob [Garcia] are very interested in is creating, not just a runway show that people are used to seeing, but something very experiential. So the audience actually walks through this entire experience before they witness the show.
Image via Daily Mail / Construction on the 2nd Ave. subway.
While Snarkitecture focused on the material details of the theme, Wolter explained the philosophical concept behind "Tunnel Vision":
Basically, tunnel vision is focused on one thing. That's kind of how this world is. Everyone's just focused on one particular thing—I need those shoes; I need that car. But they're not really thinking about what's around them. Perfect example: if it says "low fat" on the label, you get it, right? But people don't know that it's super high in sugar. It's terrible for you. It's worse for you. Nobody's really expanding or trying to bring it all in, so that's the idea behind tunnel vision. But the spotlight at the end of the tunnel [gesturing to the stage design] is the light at the end of the tunnel.
When the show began, the models emerged from one end of the tunnel, surrounded by fog and back-lit by a white spotlight, like dark and beautiful creatures from the deep.

The first time I lived abroad, in Argentina, I wrote an excited letter to an old friend. "I am living in a place that is very similar to the States in most ways," I told him, "and yet everything in daily life takes place in Spanish. More amazing altogether: while there are tons of things I don't understand, I am able to function very well."Read more
Low- and High-Context Communication
One morning during my fieldwork in Mexico, the dog dragged my freshly washed dress off the line and into the mud. I swore at him under my breath, and a member of the family I was staying with heard me but said nothing.Read more
Individualism and Collectivism
When my friends in Mexico migrate within the country, they always go to places where they have family or townspeople. Even if they've heard that jobs are more plentiful elsewhere, it's better to have a network. The community can get you a job, they tell me. In fact, the community is practically obligated to get you a job. The community is obligated to do anything within its power to support its members.Read more
Linguistic Differences Around the U.S.
It's easy to assume that cultures correspond to countries, but the reality is much more complex, and the same is true for languages. You probably know, for instance, that Spanish is spoken in dozens of countries around the world, and that it is spoken a bit differently in each. But what you may not realize is that cultural and linguistic differences occur on a much more local level as well.Read more
Perspective-Taking Skills Essential for Workforce Diversity
Imagine that you are in charge of promoting diversity within your organization. You promptly start recruiting people with diverse backgrounds, and initially achieve some success. But not long after you see morale problems. New employees don't feel welcome, and quit. Established employees feel that their talents and abilities are no longer valued, and so they quit too. Complaints of harassment and unfair treatment increase.Read more
To Attract and Retain Millennial Talent, Develop Your Perspective-Taking Skills
Suppose you have a young employee, Emily, who has been on the job for just a month. She has been working hard on a marketing report, putting in long hours. She has just completed the report and you want to reward her. So you call her into your office, congratulate her, and offer to write a note of commendation for her in the company newsletter. You expect her to be thrilled, but instead she looks disappointed and discouraged. What went wrong?Read more
Cultural Differences Around the U.S.
About twelve years ago, a friend yelled at me for what he saw as constant interruptions. "You never let me finish talking," he said.
I was confused. When had I ever interrupted him?
After much discussion, I finally figured it out. What he considered an interruption — saying "right" or "yes" while he was talking — was the only way I knew to listen politely. In my experience, remaining completely silent while someone else was speaking meant you were checked out.Read more
Top Five Tips for Working with an Interpreter
If you ever have to work with people who don't speak any of the same languages as you, you will probably have to use an interpreter to make yourself understood. Interpreters are a highly valuable resource for cross-cultural communication — but when things go wrong, they can go very wrong.Read more

Show Me You Know Kung Fu
As Julie Dirksen notes in her book Design for How People Learn, the goal of good training design is "for learners to emerge from the learning experience with new or improved capabilities that they can take back to the real world, that help them do the things they need or want to do." When learners take those improved capabilities and apply them on the job, their performance improves and the whole organization benefits.Read more

We have updates on two fronts on this Wednesday. First, Tim Brando's Sporting News Radio show will be simulcast on CBS Sports Network beginning in late August. Second, ESPN has announced the first batch of shows for its Longhorn Network, which launches Aug. 26.
Brando's show will be simulcast from a TV studio in Shreveport from 9 a.m. to noon and will continue airing on the 50 or so radio stations that carry it via SNR. The show does not air on KGOW (1560 AM), so TV (and online) will be the only ways to access the show in Houston.
"No more can I do a show wearing my smoking jacket," Brando said, laughing. "It's life-altering, but it's going to be exciting. It's a win-win. We need to improve our radio distribution and CBS Sports Network wants to improve its content, and both can accomplish their goals with this."
Brando also said he has re-upped for three more years with CBS to call college basketball games and host studio shows.
On the ESPN front, Longhorn Network will be anchored, as expected, by a 10 p.m. weeknight news show to be called Longhorn Extra. Other shows announced will be Rewind with Mack Brown at 7 p.m. Mondays, Texas All-Access at 8 p.m. Wednesdays, Game Plan with Mack Brown at 7 p.m. Thursdays and Texas GameDay two hours prior to kickoff on football Saturdays.
No talent announcements have been made for the network.

Running is something I've always wanted to do on a regular basis but also one of the hardest things for me to stick to. If you have followed me for a while you know that I've been a "yo-yo" runner. I'm on, I'm off, I'm on, I'm off... I just haven't ever been able to really stick with it. About this time last year I really began working hard at training for a 5K. I became super involved in running and started to absolutely love it. As soon as I ran the 5K in the spring I decided to take a "week break" that turned into a year break. Not cool, I know. I have decided with the weather starting to warm up I really want to get back in it.
I am completely having to re train because I lost any and all endurance I had built up. I plan to use the Couch to 5K app to get me started. It basically lays out 9 weeks of interval (walk/run) training. I started it this week and really like it because it tracks your progress for you. Has anyone else followed the couch to 5K training program?
Happy Monday Friends!

The boy they called "Goub" fought from the moment he arrived from Guinea, West Africa, at age 11 until the night of April 27, when he was shot and nearly gutted with a knife on an Olney playground.
At first, it was survival. "They picked on him," says stepmother Tondolea Wiggins, "because he didn't speak English." Still, his biological mother in Africa and his father in Philadelphia believed Yagouba and younger brother Ibrahim would have better lives here.
But the 5-foot, 6-inch youth was such a talented fighter that, long after he'd learned English, gotten good grades, and made friends, he couldn't seem to stop fighting. An uncle, who asked not to be named, believes there were those who may not have wanted him to stop.
"Yagouba was used," he says, "because he was a good fighter. It was his way of being accepted. ... He should have been in a boxing ring somewhere with a trainer."
Instead, he was killed by an assailant believed to be exacting revenge for an earlier beating at Yagouba's hands. On Sunday, before Yagouba's body was sent back to Africa - and to a mother who regrets sending her sons to America - Wiggins and the boy's father, Mamadou Bah, held a memorial service. They felt strongly that his friends needed closure.
The invitation, distributed at Goub's school, asked parents to attend with their children, "to keep the peace." The program noted his love of mac 'n' cheese and propensity for motion sickness. His friends remember his spirit.
"He had a knack," says LaTia Williams, 15, "for making me happy just by seeing him smile."
"Yabouba was really loved by everybody," says Wiggins. "But he had to fight from beginning to end." Her message to the kids:
"Don't do anything crazy. Protect yourselves and love each other and pull together. And don't hurt somebody because they come from another country."

Inpros, Inc. is a Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS) and has been trained in handling residential and commercial remodeling for the unique needs of the older adult population, making Aging-In-Place home modifications and providing solutions to common barriers for older adults who are in need of renovations to their home.
If you are like the majority of Americans over the age of 45, you want to continue living in a familiar environment throughout your maturing years. According to AARP, older home owners overwhelmingly prefer to age-in-place, which means living in your home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age or ability level.
To age-in-place, you will probably need to modify your house as you get older to increase access and maneuverability. These modifications range from installing bath and shower balance bars and adjusting countertop heights to creating multifunctional master suites, railing and ramps.
With Inpros, Inc. you not only get a CAPS specialist but also a trusted contractor that will make your space beautiful, functional and safe for you and your loved ones.
Aging in place means remaining in your home safely, independently and comfortably, regard-less of age, income or ability level. It means the pleasure of living in a familiar environment throughout your maturing years. It means the reassurance of being able to call your house a "home" for a lifetime.
CAPS professionals have the answers to your questions. They have been taught the strategies and techniques for designing and building aesthetically enriching, barrier-free living environments. The CAPS program goes beyond design to address standards, product ideas and resources needed to provide comprehensive and practical aging-in-place solutions. CAPS graduates pledge to uphold a code of ethics and are required to maintain their designations by attending continuing education programs and participating in community service projects.

Beautiful effect. My eyes wandered around the composition, taking in the details and textures, until they were suddenly surprised by the angel sheltering under the flowers. I love the subtlety of it all.ReplyDelete
