In light of His Baptism, St. John has recognized that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. What is more, he perceives and proclaims that Jesus is the Lamb of God, the Savior of the world.
It is for this that the Lord Jesus has been anointed by the Holy Spirit in the waters of the Jordan, in His own flesh and blood; namely, to accomplish salvation. And that sacred purpose determines where He goes and what He does, in order to save you and all people for eternal Life with God.
According to the good and gracious will of His God and Father, He bears sin and death in His Body to the Cross. In perfect faith and holy love, He sacrifices Himself to atone for the sins of the world, to defeat death and trample Satan underfoot.
Remember, therefore, the significance of your Baptism in His Name, and listen to this preaching of repentance for the forgiveness of your sins. Behold the Lamb of God in His Holy Gospel, in His means of grace, His Body and His Blood. And follow Him. You are called and catechized to be His disciple, to go where He goes, to live and work according to His Word, and to stay with Him throughout the long day and night of this life on earth, unto the Resurrection of your body and the one Eternal Day of the neverending ChristMass in heaven.
As the Holy Spirit rests and remains upon His Body — from His Baptism unto His Cross, and in His Resurrection from the dead — so then, come to His Body, and rest and remain in Him. Here is your house and home. Here is the Christ, the promised Messiah, who brings you out of slavery into freedom, who guards and protects you in body and soul, and who shall bring you into the Glory that He shares with the Father. He has baptized you for this divine, eternal Life, in and with Himself, by anointing you with His Holy Spirit through the washing of the water with His Word.
Come and see where He is staying. How so? He is to be found where His Holy Cross is preached and lifted up as a standard for the nations, as the Tree of Life for the salvation of the world.
Because He is the very Lamb of God — the true Passover Lamb who has been sacrificed for you and for the many — He is found and He remains where His flesh is given for Communion with God, and where His blood is poured out to cover you and seal you for Life instead of death.
You "see" Him with your ears and with the "eyes" of faith, and you stay with Him, where His messengers preach and point to Him: From the preaching of John the Baptist and John the Apostle, to and from St. Andrew and St. Cephas, even to the present day, and so now also in this place.
By and with the preaching of His Word, He rules in the midst of His enemies. Which means that you also, if you are His disciple, are surrounded by His enemies. It is a hostile and difficult world. And His Cross puts sin to death within you: in your mortal flesh, in your heart, mind, and spirit.
But for all of that, you are not His enemy. No, beloved. He crucifies and puts you to death with Himself in order to offer you to His Father in the holy garments of His own Royal Priesthood.
For He is the great High Priest of God Most High forever and ever. His Sacrifice for you upon the Cross has been received and accepted. His Body is the pleasing Aroma and acceptable Offering by which the Father draws you to Himself in Peace. As the Son is seated at the Right Hand of the Father in His own glorified Body of human flesh and blood, so are you seated there with Him.
That is where He is staying, even as He abides with you here in His Church on earth. Heaven and earth, God and Man are united in His Body and His Spirit forever and ever. Indeed, His crucified and risen Body is the New Jerusalem, the New Heavens and the New Earth, wherein you live and abide in righteousness. You stay with Him there by faith in His Word, as you receive Him here in the Ministry of His Sacrament. You rest and remain in the Body of Christ, and you belong to the Body of Christ, because you eat the Body of Christ and drink His Blood, just as He has spoken.
So is your life like that of His Tree. Despised and ridiculed by the world, and yet, for us who are being saved, it is the Wisdom of God and the Power of His indestructible Life. You are called to bear His Cross and follow Christ Jesus in your own place. I do not know what that may require of you, but it will serve the purposes of God for you and for your neighbor, to the glory of the Name in which you are baptized. Sacrifice and suffering are the Way of the Cross in this fallen world of sin and death, but none of this hardship, heartache, or hurt shall be given the last word.
Christ, the Lamb of God who bore your sins and the sins of the world in His Body, who died your death upon the Cross, is risen from the dead and lives and reigns to all eternity. He stays with you, and He rules in love for you in the midst of all these enemies, so that you are not defeated but strengthened by what you suffer under His Cross.
In His Body, Jerusalem rejoices and His people are glad. And you also are among them, as those who are blessed by the Lord, who are born again of water and the Spirit for the Life everlasting. Your labors are not in vain. Your marriage and family are not in vain. Your work and studies are not in vain. You and your life are not in vain. For Christ Jesus, the Messiah, has found you and abides with you. Come and see. Receive His Body, given for you, and rest and remain in Him.
In the Name + of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Nilam and Jag met through a matrimonial site. After the first exchange of emails both seemed sceptical but that didn't stop them in wanting to make the effort to get to know each other. Nilam says, "We talked on phone and felt the connection instantly. We couldn't stop talking on the phone, but even better, we had a stronger connection in person."
"Before meeting me, Jag happened to meet my cousins in Vegas, and my family fell in love with him", says Nilam. After the duo spent more time they and their parents were clear about the future plans.Jag soon proposed to Nilam at the romantic Reunion Tower in Dallas, and the wedding was held at the Hilton El Conquistador, Arizona in September 2012. They currently live in Maryland.
Jag is Punjabi and Nilam is Gujarati so their pre-wedding events and wedding celebrations were a mix of both traditions. Sameer and Sonia of Sameer Soorma Photography who photographed the wedding say: "It was a gorgeous fusion wedding! And they were such a calm and easy going couple. on the day of the wedding when everything was going great and all of a sudden it started to rain. Not even once did we see the couple panic though the Barat was about to start.
Their mandap and wedding decor was stunning with exuberant and vibrant fresh flower garlands draped around all four sides.The food spread included Punjabi and Gujarati delicacies.

No matter how confident you are, or how sure of yourself, there will always be problems in life that get in the way of progress. Not just at work, but in your daily home life, too. We are complex beings, humans, and to each one of us there is far more than you may believe. This is because we are only aware of our conscious self; the inner, unconscious you is the one that makes the decisions that keep you going, but it does so without you thinking about it.
This is the part of us that operates what is known as the 'fight or flight' response; imagine you step out onto the road and don't see a car coming. In that instance, your unconscious mind sends a signal to your body that makes you step back. You haven't consciously thought about it, you just do it. Now, what could you do if you knew more about this inner you, often called the 'authentic self'? This is one of the areas that a life coach will help you understand, and today, more people than ever before are choosing to engage the services of a life coach.
Help for Professionals
Let's say you have a good job, you enjoy it, but you don't feel confident enough to go for those promotions when they come up. You know you can do it, but something inside you tells you that you can't. This is an absolutely typical situation, and one that holds many very worthy people back in their professional lives. This is where a life coach can help; he or she will get to know you, and understand you, and then help you to get to now yourself in greater depth.
They will discover just what it is that is sapping your confidence – it could be issues from the past or doubts about your chosen career – and help you deal with it. By working through baggage that lies within, you can reach further ahead and begin to see the way forward far more clearly. Life coaches can also help you with your personal life, and will be able to guide you towards becoming the person you know you are, and should be.
Finding a Life Coach
If you are looking for a Los Angeles life coach you can rest assured there are many with excellent reputations, and they can help you with various aspects that may be troubling you such as confidence, past issues, even your general well-being and image, and will be able to teach you how to handle problematic aspects of your professional and personal life easily and without concern.
If face to face sessions are difficult for you – and remember, this is not a one-off consultation but will be a series of sessions over a long term – you might want to consider online life coaching which is also effective. Check out some of the local life coaches, talk to a few and find one you are comfortable with, and begin a journey that will surely enlighten you.

Michelle Obama announced on Jan. 19, exactly one year from the day her husband took office, that she intends to make the fight against childhood obesity her legacy. This should come as no surprise to anyone who has followed her over the past year.
In her first year as first lady, Michelle Obama raised awareness about organic, healthy food. She talked about it consistently, got her hands dirty in the new White House kitchen garden often, began the White House Farmers Market, and even made an appearance on Sesame Street promoting a healthy lifestyle. Raising awareness about childhood obesity and coming up with solutions to the problem is the next logical step.
According to Obamafoodorama, in-depth details about the campaign to reduce childhood obesity will be released next month but will include:
"commonsense, innovative solutions that empower families and communities to make healthy decisions for their kids." Better school policies, including improving school lunch programs and encouraging phys ed, and fostering much-needed changes in community food access, so healthy foods are more affordable and more easily available, are among her goals.
"This isn't the kind of problem that can be solved in one year, or even one administration," she said. "But make no mistake about it, this problem can be solved."We don't need to wait for some new invention or discovery to make this happen. This doesn't require fancy tools or technologies. We have everything we need right now — we have the information, we have the ideas, and we have the desire to start solving America's childhood obesity problem.
"The only question is whether we have the will." (source USA Today)

Exercise specialists assess the physical fitness and medical histories of patients who have health problems to create custom exercise regimens. They rely on their expert knowledge of physiology, nursing, and personal training to ensure that patients engage in safe, effective exercise. A person who wants to become an exercise specialist typically needs to earn a bachelor's degree in a health-related field, gain supervised experience in a clinical exercise program, and pass regional and national certification tests. With the appropriate training and credentials, an individual can become an exercise specialist at a physical rehabilitation clinic or public gym.
An individual who believes that he or she wants to become an exercise specialist can enroll in a four-year bachelor's degree program at an accredited university. Some schools offer exercise science degrees, which are particularly helpful in preparing future exercise specialists. If an exercise science major is not available, a student can still gain the knowledge and skills needed for the job in a nursing, physical therapy, or physiology program. An undergraduate learns the reasons why exercise is important for people who are at risk of health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease. He or she receives detailed instruction about the physiology of the heart and lungs, and how smart diet and exercise routines can reduce risk factors.
Many schools offer internship or career placement opportunities for successful students to help them get started in the field after graduation. A person who wants to become an exercise specialist typically begins his or her career as an assistant at a clinical rehabilitation facility, learning about the profession firsthand from established specialists. Before working with actual patients, an assistant is typically required to complete training courses and receive certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, first aid, and basic life support.
The training requirements to become an exercise specialist vary among regions and countries, but most professionals need to gain between three months and one year of supervised work experience before they can take certification exams. Certification is offered by professional governing boards, such as the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) in the United States. An individual can learn about prerequisites and testing dates by browsing the ACSM website or that of a similar organization in another country.
Once a person earns exercise specialist credentials, he or she is qualified to work independently with patients. Continuing education and refresher training courses are important for a practicing exercise specialist so that he or she can stay up to date on the latest techniques. Most exercise specialists enjoy their jobs immensely, and their services provide hope and health to millions of patients worldwide.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Rapa Das Bestas - hairdressers sans frontieres*
In a country where bullfighting is still commonplace, I really didn't know what to expect when I received a text from a friend saying: "Tomorrow is 'rapa das bestas' in Sabucedo - very spectacular fights between humans and horses"!
Indeed it turned out that the Rapa das Bestas was probably the last thing I would have thought of and it turned out to be a fascinating day.
In Sabucedo, the horses, though owned by the villagers, are free to live in the woods on the hill during the year. However, with my limited equine knowledge, I wasn't aware of the hairdressing needs of such beasts. Every year the villagers round up the horses, drive them into a corral, and cut their hair.
We only went for the haircutting though, missing out the massive hangover that I presume 90% of the people there seemed to be suffering from (the other 10 percent still being heavily under the influence). We got into the seating around the corral a little before midday, and soon enough the 200 animals where herded into the arena. 200 animals in a space that size was presumably quite a culture shock for animals which are used to roaming freely and so there was a lot of angry neighing, biting of neighbours, kicking and the occasional reared brawl. This was about the most inhumane part of the ordeal, but it seemed that apart from the odd nibble, none of them was really hurt, save for the feelings of a few alpha males.
After a couple of hours and perhaps half the horses shawn, the groups called it a day and the horses were led back out of the corral.

Although the hostilities had ceased in May 1994, a permanent peace is yet to be achieved (negotiations are underway with the assistance of OSCE Minsk Group, chaired by the USA, France and Russia). Despite this, the rehabilitation of accessible war-torn areas are continuing since 1996.
To have an idea on the magnitude of the mine/UXO problem for the purposes of both, strategic and operational planning, ANAMA has been exploring all possible ways & means, including outside support. In this context, the General Survey (Level 1 Survey) was undertaken in 2001 followed by the LIS (Landmine Impact Survey), conducted jointly with SAC in 18 districts from September 2002 to June 2003.
The LIS has identified 480 mine-impacted communities and 163 UXO impacted communities. Altogether 970 SHA (Suspected Hazard Areas) were identified as directly impacting the safety and livelihoods of an estimated 514,000 people. The LIS result termed the contamination level as 'extensive' with 736 mln sqm of land contaminated with mines and UXOs. They are all located in the war-torn districts along the ceasefire line and border with Armenia. Very high degree of contamination has been detected in Fizuli, Agdam and Terter districts. UXO contamination is extensive throughout Aghstafa district.
In late 2006, according to the Government's task and based on the request from ANAMA Director, the 'Re-survey' has been undertaken by the local government authorities of the 11 mine/UXO affected districts. Their reports have partly confirmed the results of LIS. The outcome of the 'Re-survey, has reduced the figure to 306 mln sqm. Some new areas have also been identified in the course of mine action activities. ANAMA TSQA division will revise and review all the data related to mine/UXO contamination from various sources within the special re-survey process.
Based on the information from different sources, in 2019 ANAMA has registered 6 mine incidents causing 11 casualties of which 2 were fatal.
Based on the results of General Survey (2000-2001), 1979 mine survivors were registered in the ANAMA's mine victim data base. The number of mine survivors interviewed in the frameworks of the countrywide Mine Victims Needs Assessment Survey (2004) was 1883. While implementing mine victim assistance projects and cross checking of data base, the actual number of mine victims in Azerbaijan was reduced to 1839.
At this stage it is not possible to measure the extent of mine/UXO problems in occupied areas. Apart from Nagorno Karabakh, adjoint Jabrayil, Zangilan, Gubadly, Lachin, Kelbajar, and partly Fizuli, Terter and Aghdam districts are under the control of Armenian forces. These areas are expected to have extensive mine/UXO contamination with an estimated SHAs varying from 350 to 830 mln sqm with between 50 to 100 thousands of mines over there.

National Civic Art Society Announces Statement On the Revised Eisenhower Memorial Design
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 24, 2012
CONTACT: [email protected] or
National Civic Art Society Statement On the Revised Eisenhower Memorial Design
On May 15th, the Eisenhower Memorial Commission unveiled Frank Gehry's revised Eisenhower Memorial design. Unfortunately, members of the public were not allowed to speak at the meeting, further confirming the undemocratic nature of this memorial design process. Mr. Gehry's absence was also disappointing, particularly when Eisenhower Memorial Commission Executive Architect Daniel Feil had stated at the time of Gehry's selection in 2009 that his design fees, paid by the U.S. taxpayer, would be $19 million.
The dysfunctional elements of the proposed design, as identified by the Eisenhower family and the public, remain unchanged. The lack of compelling symbolism or sense of permanence conveyed by the design, along with the gargantuan 80-foot-tall cylinders and the experimental tangled chain-link screens they support, remain. Refinements to the design modifying the statue of Eisenhower from "boy" to "young cadet" and changing bas reliefs to free-standing sculpture are inconsequential. The addition of stacked block megaliths also adds to the pervasive disorder of the scheme.
Just as importantly, no amount of design revisions can change the fact that the Mr. Gehry was selected through a de facto closed competition run through the GSA Design Excellence Program. The GSA Design Excellence program sought qualifications, not designs, from a small group of architects. At a public event in 2011 at Georgetown University, the creator of the GSA Design Excellence Program, Edward Feiner, stated that the GSA Design Excellence Program "was not the one I would have used" to select a designer for the Eisenhower Memorial. When a government commission previously attempted to use the GSA Design Excellence Program to select a designer for the World War II Memorial, there was broad public outcry from those who wished to submit their own designs for a fair and open competition. That government commission went back to the drawing board and held an open competition.
Paul Sprereigen, FAIA, an expert on design competition guidelines who helped craft the competition for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and who formerly directed design competitions for the American Institute of Architects, has also spoken out. In a letter to the Washington Post he asked, "Why weren't all American designers given the opportunity to submit proposals for the Eisenhower memorial? The method for doing that is a very well-organized and well-managed open-design competition… The design process for the Eisenhower memorial should have been open to all. It still can be, if the Gehry design is rejected."
The National Civic Art Society calls for a new, open, democratic, and transparent competition, following precedents set by previous national memorial competitions, which would result in a more sustainable, meaningful and beautiful Eisenhower Memorial. Such a memorial would not need to cost the estimated $120 million that the planning and execution of the Eisenhower Memorial, as presently designed, would cost American taxpayers, with unknown annual upkeep costs that would be an additional burden on the American people. A new, open, democratic, and transparent memorial competition would be an opportunity to inspire creativity and ingenuity among American architects, artists, and designers, while also spurring further study of and reflection on President Eisenhower's life.

I rode along with Nam yesterday out on a mission to take some pictures. We went to several places around the Bay Area, but most of the pics came from just north of the Golden Gate Bridge, Treasure Island, or Hakone Gardens. I was looking forward to the garden myself since I hadn't gotten a chance to try out my (not-so-)fancy new macro kit, and we got there while it was still slightly misting which made for some cool shots with drops on the leaves, etc..

I'd say Arakune is just spazzing out. Man does he look disgusting!
He's going through a painful transformation where over time, he becomes the Grim Reaper, but without his death powers. He instead can only poke people with his bony fingers until they're annoyed. Then he realizes he's forever alone and attempts to tell his sad, sad story of how he became Arakune without knowing what the heck he's talking about. After crying for so long, his cloak becomes the black goo and he returns to normal, forgetting everything that has happened.
And then the cycle repeats itself. Eventually.
And then the cycle repeats itself. Eventually.
Arakune's mass is incredibly unstable, as shown by his liquid state, transformation abilities, insanity, etc. My theory is that Cody has some sort of aura that either causes nearby unstable masses to either rapidly stabilize or come undone completely. How do I know this? Street Fighter X Tekken. Pandora's Box destroys itself before Cody and Guy could destroy it themselves. Question is, did it commit suicide, or did Cody kill it before he could even touch it? The Box was obviously very unstable, albeit in a separate sense than Arakune, but it definitely was given the effect it had on people. It managed to take out Ryu, frickin' Ryu, best fighter there ever was and all that, with relative ease. But it thinks that Cody and Guy are too much to handle? No, something about Cody (or Guy) ended the thing, and that's what's happening here.
Moral of the story, Cody is simply a badass.
(Wait am I allowed to enter these contests?)
Way too late for the contest, but Arakune is doing the hokey-pokey.
wait... a portal... from Portal? like the game Portal? there are no words for my squee

It's been said that chivalry – which I define as the quality of men being polite and respectful toward women – isn't dead, just underemployed. Nowadays, the average man never learns the fine art of being polite and respectful toward anyone, equating it with subservience or a diminishing of his "street cred." And the average woman, while she may appreciate an occasional polite deed or gesture, is sometimes embarrassed by the attention in what is supposed to be a gender-neutral world.
It's tough for a man to know what today is proper and acceptable behavior toward women; after all, gestures that might have been acceptable in the 40's or 50's or even the 80's and 90's may be frowned upon by the lady of today.
I would call your attention to this interesting, somewhat tongue-in-cheek article by Lauren Bans which offers a guide to what's acceptable and what's not in the not-so-chivalrous 21st century. Here are a few of her takes on some of the old and new rules of chivalry … with my commentary, of course …
Old Rule: Always hold the door.
New Rule: Almost always hold the door.
A lady usually won't mind if you open a door for her as a matter of common courtesy. After all, men sometimes open and hold doors for each other. Ms Bans recommends, though, that you not race ahead to open the door, or muscle the lady out of the way to get there first … if you're in the right position, go ahead and do it, otherwise let her go ahead and open it herself (and, perhaps, hold it for you). Don't use it as an excuse to ogle her backside. And regardless of who opens the door, don't slam it in the face of the person coming up behind you.
Old Rule: The man always pays.
New Rule: If she asks, she pays.
Many ladies today are creeped out by a man who always wants to pay for everything, possibly because they feel that he's expecting subsequent horizontal repayment. If you invited the lady out, you should pay. If she extended the invitation, let her pay. Or agree in advance to go Dutch. But if one of you is footing the bill, it's bad form for the other to order the most expensive item on the menu.
Old Rule: Order for her.
New Rule: Never order for her.
Most of the ladies you're likely to date can read the menu, and they're more than capable of ordering for themselves. Let them do it. If the menu is in a foreign language, let whoever speaks the language place the order*.
Old Rule: Put your phone away.
New Rule: Put your phone away.
Unless you're a doctor, volunteer fireman, or police officer on duty and expected to be available at a moment's notice, turn the phone off and leave it in the car. The lady deserves your undivided attention.
Old Rule: Stand up when a lady enters the room.
New Rule: Don't get up.
This is one in which I differ from Ms Bans – I think it's perfectly all right to stand up when a lady approaches and you are sitting down. It shows respect. And I also think it's okay to offer a seat to a lady, particularly if she's older than you are.**
New Rule: Do not punch people to defend her honor.
Aside from any other considerations, nowadays you never know when the person who's bothering your date might be a gun enthusiast anxious to prove his manhood and celebrate his Second Amendment rights by packing iron in inappropriate locations. And as Ms Bans notes, most women are more than capable of getting rid of unwanted admirers on their own.
Chivalry. It's not meant to demean or embarrass anyone ... it's meant to show respect. Try it ... you may like it. Ladies, weigh in ... what sorts of well-intended but perhaps unwanted chivalrous behavior do you like or not like? Why?
Have a good day. Remember the Golden Rule***. More thoughts tomorrow.
* It will keep you from embarrassing yourself by accidentally ordering something unexpectedly disgusting. If neither of you can read the menu and it does not feature pictures of the entrees, consider patronizing another establishment.
** A few years ago, I was on a Metro train in Washington when a young woman stood up to offer me her seat. It was a very nice gesture, but it made me feel older and more decrepit than usual.
*** Not the DC version - "Whoever has the gold, makes the rules."

French bank Societe Generale is to cut at least 700 jobs from its workforce, although the figure may be as high as 1000.
It is the second-largest lender on the Paris stock market, but has just posted poor first-quarter income figures.
The bank wants to save 900 million euros before the end of 2015, on top of the 550 million announced last year. The company says there will be no forced layoffs, so the job cuts are likely to be buy-outs and early retirements.

I apologise for the lack of content on this blog over the past few months.
After completing my internship at the Guardian I spent a month in South Africa where I helped make this film about my Dad's farm in Mpumalanga:
Since then I have been working as a freelance journalist for publications such as the Guardian producing content such as this film about Roseline Akhalu, a Nigerian kidney transplant patient who is facing deportation to Nigeria:
I am now working on a longer documentary version of the Guardian film about Roseline Akhalu with my partner Joe Bream. We will be submitting this documentary into film festivals such as the Sheffield Doc/Fest.
I am also developing a new version of my Sheffield Unchained website which will be re-launched in the next few months, along with a new portfolio website about my work and projects.
Look out for all this exciting new work coming soon!

Venture capital deal flow slowing, but capital invested on a high
Venture capital activity in the U.S. has slowed, with 2015 on pace to see about as many investments as 2012, which would mark an end to five consecutive years of increasing activity. However, with $36.8 billion already doled out to U.S. startups this year, it will by no means be a slow year for capital invested. Should this pace hold, 2015 may end up challenging the $65.2 billion invested last year, a post-2000 high.
According to RSM's Hitesh Kothari, investment sizes are going up while the total number of deals is going down because venture capital investors prefer to consolidate their deals and invest in growing, expansion stage companies. Investors' perspectives have shifted in the last few years and there's more redeployment of their funds in these kinds of companies because they have less of a gestation period in terms of exit.
With data powered by PitchBook and a Q&A with Kothari, the 3Q 2015 Venture Industry Report examines U.S. venture capital activity in the second quarter of 2015. The report offers an array of insights into the current U.S. venture capital landscape, including deal flow analysis, exit activity and valuation trends.

Connecting Digilent ATLYS board with Xilinx iMPACT
In my previous article I discussed how to setup MATLAB for hardware co-simulation with Digilent Atlys FPGAs. Since Electronic undergraduates in level 3 and level 4 at University of Moratuwa (where I belong) are rushing through their Digital System Design individual and group projects and most of the use Atlys Spartan 6 FPGA as their development platform, I am going to put this quick post so that can help them with their projects. In this article I am going to share my experience on setting up Xilinx for Detect Digilent USB cable.

Last night, I had the honor of attending a local business networking event at the Crystal Lake Weddings venue, on the Crystal Lake Golf Club grounds. I have driven by and often thought I should stop in and check out the venue, but never had. Wow was I missing out! The golf course and the wedding venue features gourgeous views of Crystal Lake and the Benzie County country side. The sunset over the lake was wonderful. I know I was there for work but it certainly didn't feel like it. The food was provided by Odette's Custom Catering and was FANTASTIC as well.
There were many wedding vendors from the area and it was great to meet new folks and learn more about just how vibrant the wedding industry is in this area. Northern Michigan is quickly becoming a destination wedding spot for folks all around the country. There was talk about using modern online services such as skype to chat with brides and grooms who were not able to meet in person due to the long distance from where they currently live. It was obvious that developing a network of local professionals that you trust and feel good about recommending is crucial for many of these businesses. When a bride and groom are planning a wedding from a long distance, they have to rely on those networks to make their wedding day perfect. This network offers accountability and a level of trust between the vendors and keeps business local.
Another topic of conversation was how the online reach of larger companies has caused stress on the local vendors. Certainly a large company with a massive budget can throw their weight around and impact local business, but with the right strategy and planning local businesses can compete strongly online! One of the first things we recommend is for all small business to create a local business listing on Google, Bing and Yahoo. Make sure that the business profile is filled out completely and great looking photos are included as well. There are lots of listing services available, but start with the search engines first. I will be perfectly honest, they do not always make creating a free listing easy, and it can be a lot of work to do this. There are many more listing options available out there as well.
If you need help competing online, give us a call. Pro Web Marketing offers a full range of services from social media advising and implementation, local business listings, to Google and Bing search advertising. Your business should and can stand out online, and we can help. Give us a call at 877 577 6932 or get a quick quote here!

Dear Community,
I am drawing a heatmap with pheatmap package in R. I would like to show a certain property of two datasets and show two heatmaps next to each other. However, the order of the columns/rows in both heatmaps is slightly different. I understand that the order in which the columns/rows are organized has it's function in heatmap.
However, the two sample types I would like to change the order of, are next to another and this shouldn't disturb the whole idea of clustering. Is it possible to change the order of samples on a heatmap in pheatmap package ?
Please look at the example below:
I would like to have control in the bottom-right, and f4 in the middle. That would make this heatmap consistent with the other one I generated.
Thanks Devon! I am getting so much help from you on different platforms, I really appreciate it.
So it seems that it's not possible to tweak the order of the samples without losing (and manipulating) the dendrogram ? In my case rotating the left end of the dendrogram by 180 degrees forward (from our faces) wouldn't distort the meaning, but I don't expect it to be a one-liner option in the package...
Best regards ;)
It seems that that's not a built-in option. You do it by tweaking the source code of that function, but since you only have one affected figure, it's probably faster to just save it as a pdf and reorder things in Adobe Illustrator (this sort of thing would obviously constitute the maximum permissible changes you could make to a figure). Just make sure you mention having done that in the figure legend!

Every Tuesday during the semester, the Campus House hosts a free lunch for the ETSU community from 11:30 to 1:30pm. Our first FREE Tuesday lunch of the semester is January 21. No strings attached, just free food & people who care about college students.
Each week, the meal is provided by a different supporter (church group, individual, outreach team, etc), so the menu is always unknown until you walk through the front door. The Campus House provides plates, cups forks, sweet tea, and water; the caterer provides the food. All the students have to do is show up!
Because of the nature of the meal being prepared and provided by volunteers, we cannot guarantee any allergy-free foods. We do, however, do our best to label certain allergens and ingredients. We like to label proteins contents (beef, pork, vegetarian, etc) and tree nuts especially.
Are you interested in organizing a group to provide lunch one week? Contact us and we will put you on the schedule! Click here!

SCSM 2016 has been updated and with each update comes improvements so it's always best to make sure you are staying on top of these things. So far since release we have seen 2 Update Releases for SCSM 2016. If you are not sure how to check what version you are on then I will explain. The easiest way to determine what version you are running is to go to the Control Panel, Programs and Features and highlight System Center Service Manager 2016 and look at the bottom where it says product version.
Using the Help, About Service Manager in the console does not tell you the version that you need to know so don't use that to determine when it's time to upgrade.
Now, to list out the current versions and related KB to help you down your path.
Build Number KB Comment
- 7.5.7217.0 TP4 Technical Preview 4
- 7.5.7314.0 n\a Technical Preview 5
- 7.5.7487.0 n\a RTM
- 7.5.7487.37 3209594 Update Rollup 2 for System Center 2016 Service Manager (for HTML Portal and Exchange Connector only, main version was not changed)
- 7.5.7487.64 4019979 Several fixes to be listed below
So, for the fixes in each update
- System Center Configuration Manager 1702 is now supported in this Service Manager update for Configuration Manager Connectors.
- You as an administrator create a new Exchange Connector through the System Center 2016 Service Manager console. When you click the Test Connection button in the Server Connection pane of the Create Exchange Connector wizard, you receive an exception.
- Requests that are created through the Self-Service Portal always have the Source field of the work item set as Portal and the Status field set as New. These values are not overwritten when a template or Request Offering input mapping is applied.
- In the Self-Service Portal, the Request Offering forms display validation errors in English, even when a non-English language is selected.
- The Self-Service Portal does not display the full name of users (such as the reviewers list for Review Activity and implementer for Manual Activity) but instead only displays the domain\user-name information for the user.
- The My Requests and the My Activities pages do not load in the Self-Service Portal if the object associated to a work item class has duplicate properties that have the same name because of class inheritance.
- System Center 2016 Service Manager now supports Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Service Pack 1.
- Extending a class and adding a new property that has a default value causes Active Directory (AD) and System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) connectors to create incorrect relationships for the extended class objects.
- The file name extension of an attachment uploaded from the Self Service Portal changes when viewed from the Service Manager console.
- Submitting a Request Offering fails in the Self Service Portal if the description form element contains "<" or ">" characters.
- Self Service Portal fails to honor the attachment file size restriction specified in the Service Manager console settings.
- The Request Offering page in Self Service Portal fails to load if that Request Offering contains a list form element with ServiceRequestSupportGroupEnum enumeration list.
The caveat in these UR updates, normally UR updates contain all the previous fixes from the previous updates but UR2 contains a separate DLL for the exchange connector that needs to be added to the SCSM install path. This patch only affects the primary management server and portal so its a pretty straight forward upgrade (just make sure you read the section on portal customization first if you've done any) and you don't have to worry so much about the order the patch is applied. UR3 will make changes to all of your SCSM servers so follow the proper upgrade path when applying that one.
Hopefully this helps someone and make sure you stay up to date on SCSM do get the best benefits from your investment.

Merry Christmas from the studio gang! I hope you are having a joyous and kind holiday season. Love love!
Season's greetings...
...and Merry Christmas from the studio! 2017 has been quite the year, hasn't it? I have experienced expansive growth in unexpected and exciting ways.
Thank you for your wonderful support and friendship over the last year! You all bring great conversation and such joy into my life. You are a resourceful, smart, generous and fun crew and I'm grateful to be on your team.
I hope you are spending this Christmas weekend carousing with loved ones, circling the wagons and kicking your feet up, whether you celebrate the holiday or not.
Keep your eyes peeled for a new series of paintings coming this Spring! I can't wait to share them with you. And if you are curious about what Pearl and Maude has to say about the holiday season, find that story here.
Much love,
Living the Dream
For me, being an artist is more than painting alone in my studio. I am inspired by other artists, off-beat adventures and spectacle. I curate exhibitions, collaborate on large public art installations, am an occasional color consultant and interior designer and sometimes I sculpt. I seem to do a lot of writing, but that's just business. I live an art-filled life. Thanks for coming along for the ride.
March 2020

1954 Robots Are Here
Yesterday I have invited Anne Chaise to present her work on Technologies And The Future As Represented By The Feminine Press From 1945 to 1968 during the Technologies, Architecture, urbanism course that I teach at l'ESA. Not only Anne is a pearl, but she is also a mine of information and the awesome librarian in chief at school.
Anne had gone through 1200 ELLE and 196 Marie-Claire back issues to find out that in these times, the magazine, which was already a strong medium of advertizing, had the goal of transforming the mentalities, to reconcile people with progress and science (invented/used during war time), eyes focused on the USA where technologies of the temporary, prefabrication, and standardization was being developed. I spoke already about how Buckminster Fuller envisaged post-war housing, free from infrastructure so people could pack and leave easily in case of war. That was the mindset.
ELLE and Marie-Claire had for mission to educate the good "manager" of the house (the word share the same root with the word "ménagère" in french) – the woman who had to be "clean, economical, efficient, ingenious, managing her own budget," etc. Anne found that 31% of the magazine related to home improvement, the Salon Des Arts Ménagers, individual housing, préfabrication, mobility and flexibility (even featuring the work of Buckminster Fuller!). ELLE was participating (they had a stand) to the Salon Des Arts Ménagers as the magazine was at that time selling prefabricated houses designed by then young (and promising) architects such as Ionel Schein and Claude Parent. ELLE was also touring France with a mobile home to sell this new way of living.
In the ELLE issue 435 of 1954, the magazine shows a table summarizing how "authors of science-fiction, philosophers, scientists, visionaries or even imaginative individuals announce with a charming precision" the "everyday life of tomorrow's man". What was thought to arrive in 2500 has almost all already happened:
Here below are a couple of picture of Anne Chaise showing her preparation work with the time line in relation to the articles of interest she found:

TEACHING / LEARNING ECOLOGIES: Spaces and Politics of Education
DEADLINE for (abstract + short bibliography + short biography) = September 20, 2012
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing – Post-intercultural Communication and Education series.
Fred Dervin, University of Helsinki, Finland, multicultural education
Yasmine Abbas, Research Associate ENSA Paris-La-Villette, GERPHAU LAVUE 7218; Research Associate University of Geneva, Institute of Environmental Sciences – Globalization, Urban Planning, Governance
It is the intention of this volume to tell a narrative about what makes successful learning/teaching ecologies and thus education effectiveness. In the contexts of compulsory education, higher education, further education and lifelong learning, the design of spaces and the built environment matter as much as the politics of education. As such spaces and buildings do have social, political and educational functions, which cannot be ignored: they are never impartial. With the increase in online education, learning ecology becomes even more complex. What key aspects should actors involved in education (not) take into account?

A Quincy financial advisor can help you secure your future and achieve your goals. Quincy is known as the birthplace of the American dream and financial success is vital to achieving those dreams. But, this success requires a good blend of safe investments and asset allocations with potentially greater risks. A Quincy financial advisor can help you find the right balance to secure a stable and prosperous future in MA and give you the ability to realize your dreams.
A Massachusetts advisor may be known by many titles such as a broker, investment advisor, or financial planner; but, these titles are selected by the individual and simply describe the nature of their practice and not necessarily their ability to handle your financial portfolio. So, regardless of the title it is important to fully understand their qualifications. Any professional that you trust with your assets should be educated, licensed, and registered to practice in the state of Massachusetts. They should also hold a strong reputation within the Quincy community and have a proven track record of success.
Whether you are facing parenthood or retirement in MA, it is important to establish a solid financial plan. Turn to a Massachusetts professional for advice in a wide variety of areas. Initially they may strengthen your current cash flow situation by creating a clear budget and by forecasting your needs. They may then provide guidance in the areas tax liabilities, insurance policies, estate planning, as well as short and long term investments such 401k, IRA, or Roth IRA.
Success is defined by the individual, so it is important that your Quincy financial advisor understand your individual situation and goals so they can minimize your risk and maximize your money. It is important that you provide your free financial advising service with all relevant information for them to understand the full scope of your current and future situation. For example, you should share any significant life changes in the near or distant future that will be a drain on your pocket book such as sending your child to college, paying for your child's wedding, or caring for a loved one.
They should also have a clear picture of your priorities as well as short and long term goals. Some people may choose to allocate less money to investing in order to have money to travel and vacation on a regular bases, while others may wish to opt to be frugal now to invest in their future. It is vital your trusted Quincy professional know the things that are important to you so that their advice is always a reflection of that.
There are typically 3 types of compensation agreements that a Quincy financial advisor will establish with their client. It is important to understand these compensation plans and to carefully select a Quincy financial advisor that will establish an agreement you are comfortable with. Commission based compensation is a plan where the advisor makes a percentage of your investment yield. The benefit of this compensation plan is that your Quincy advisor only makes money when you do, which means they have added incentive to choose investments that are highly profitable. However, this could also mean that the Quincy financial advisor may choose their best interest over your own with higher risk short term options rather than stable long-term ventures.
Another form of compensation is by way of fees. A fee only compensation plan has a clear set of hourly rates or specific financial planning and management charges. Fee only compensation can reduce the risk of conflict of interest and ensure that the Quincy financial advisor gives advice that is solely beneficial for the client. A retainer is also considered a fee. It is important to note that with this compensation plan, an advisor can't receive finder's fees, bonuses, or any other form of commission or financial compensation from the client or companies in which the investments are placed.
A Quincy financial advisor may refer to themselves as fee based which is not to be confused with fee only compensation plans. This compensation plan allows them to both charge for their services and receive commissions on your investments. A broker often utilizes this type of compensation agreement. Take the time to review the agreement to be sure that you fully understand the method in which the services you receive will be paid.
The world of finance can be an overwhelming place. And, although you may not have all of the tools to make well informed money decisions on your own, you do have the tools to select an individual who can help to guide those choices. Choose an educated Quincy financial advisor with a solid reputation so you can focus on chasing your dreams and enjoying your life in Quincy, MA.
Our specialists will conduct a custom search to find local planners and advisors who meet your specific requirements.
"Finance and investing are complicated subjects that I didn't know a whole lot about before I started using this site. Thanks to this site I was able to meet with an advisor who was incredibly helpful. Thank you!"

I watercolored, with reinkers, the Butterfly (Papillon Potpourri stamp set). The picture doesn't capture the variance in color, however. It was a lot of fun watercoloring and I plan on doing a lot more with that technique. I just love the En Francais background stamp. It never gets old with me, just wish I could still read French (from high school years)! Ha! Have a great day!

I have a problem with auto-eaters.
These are the people who drive with one hand (or no hands) and ingest their entire lunch in the process. They are worse than makeupper-drivers, cellphoner-drivers and lostaquarterintheseat-drivers. They are truly the most dangerous thing on the road.
That's why, if you ask me — everyone who is an auto-eater should be given an additional written test when they go to get their license (and periodically throughout their driving career) to ensure they know what to do in a myriad of situations. That is why WFME would like to present to you the Auto-Eater Driver's Examination Test.
Please, answer the questions only if you surely know the answers.
