Coaching is one of the most crucial factors in developing, sustaining and increasing participation in rugby union, securing the future and quality of the English game. To be an effective coach, you will need to fulfil a number of different roles, covering the technical, tactical, physical and mental aspects demanded by our game.
The RFU is committed to offering a world-leading coaching development service, from helping volunteers who want to coach junior tag rugby on a Sunday morning to assisting people who aim to reach a professional coaching standard.
The current RFU Coaching Children Rugby Union (Level 1) and Coaching the 15 a Side Game (Level 2) will be replaced by a single coaching award, the England Rugby Coaching Award. The current Refereeing the 15 a Side Game (Level 2) course will be replaced by a new refereeing course – the England Rugby Refereeing Award.
The new coaching award will be relevant for coaches working with U9 players and upwards and will be supported by a suite of CPD and Foundation courses to help develop coaches working with players of all ages.
The new refereeing award is aimed at those refereeing in the 15 a side game (U14+).

· The course content and tasks on the course will be relevant to the age group the coach works with

· The Old Mutual Wealth Kids First Refereeing Children (Level 1) course will remain

Creamy Lemon Cheesecake
- Cook Time
- Prep Time
- 8Servings
- 1 cup whole almonds (about 4 ounces)
- 1 1/4 cups plus 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 pounds cream cheese, at room temperature
- 4 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Boiling water, for baking
- Fresh raspberries, for garnish
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees . Using a food processor, pulse the almonds and 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar until finely chopped. Add the butter and pulse until combined. Press the nut mixture evenly into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake until browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool. Place the pan on a long piece of foil; fold the foil up the sides of the pan. Set in a large baking dish or roasting pan.
Lower the oven to 325 degrees . Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese at low speed until fluffy, about 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl, then gradually beat in the remaining 1 1/4 cups sugar until smooth and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes; scrape down the bowl. Beat in the eggs and egg yolks 1 at a time, scraping down the bowl each time. Beat in the sour cream, lemon peel and vanilla.
Pour the filling into the crust. Transfer to the oven and pour enough boiling water into the baking dish to reach halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Turn off the oven, prop the door open slightly and let the cake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
Remove the cake from the water bath; discard the foil. Let the cake cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Top with fresh raspberries.

Best 3x3 of 2013
As a yearly custom shortly after New Year, I'm bringing you, what I personally believe, are my best 3, Architectural, Aviation and Travel photography images.
Before we start, I would like to share the number of keeper images I have in my 2013 Lightroom library; 10.281.
This number is again close to where it used to be pre 2012; which was my first year shooting with the Nikon D800. Since this megapixel monster (36 million megapixels), I've noticed a considerable reduction in the number of images I shoot, more than likely due to the amount of storage needed for all the data.
As I started using the amazing smaller size Fujifilm X series cameras in 2013, I'm clearly worrying less about the storage and enjoying my personal photography projects more! Comparing both camera systems; I've shot over 7500 images on the Fujifilm X-E1 and X-E2, while I have less than 2500 clicks on the Nikon D800. The Nikon was mainly used for client shoots and Aviation photography; something the X-E1 is still lacking in!
1 Moon rise over the Burj al Arab, Dubai (UAE) shot with the Fujifilm X-E1 at the very end of 2013, this is possible my favourite image of the year.
2 Vasco da Gama bridge at the blue hour, Lisbon (Portugal). Getting up very early can be very rewarding! Shot with the Nikon D800.
3 Sydney Opera house, (Australia). My best image of this Architectural wonder now comes from the little Fujifilm camera as well!
1 Those magnificent men and their flying machines, Hahnweide, (Germany). Mikael Carlson flying his Bleriot XI made an amazing impression on me. This is clearly one of the images I want to print large in 2014!
2 Tanta Ju, 74 year old JU-52 going strong, Hahnweide (Germany). Another one from this amazing vintage aircraft show in Southern Germany
3 Spitfire Mark XiVe - mean machine, Duxford (UK). Just like Hahnweide, Duxford is a must see if you are interested in vintage/warbird aviation photography.
1 The most famous tree of New Zealand, Wanaka (New Zealand). Shot with a pre-production Fujifilm X-E2 camera, this image got a lot of attention online. It quickly became the signature image of the 3 week trip down-under.
2 Bench at Lake Tekapo, (New Zealand). Another landscape/travel image made with the X-E2.
3 Scenic drive through the Provence (France). A paragliding trip cancelled due to bad weather, turned into an un-expected travel photography trip. This is the only travel image made with
the Nikon D800 that made it into the top 3. A testament to how useful the Fujifilm X-series cameras are for Travel.
Needless to say that all images above are also new additions in to my Architectural, Aviation and Travel photography portfolio!
Remember; " it is not the camera that makes the picture, it is the person behind it"

Botswana: Diamonds bring no benefits to Basarwa
While Botswana's government has never officially admitted to forcibly relocating the G/wi and G//ana communities of the Basarwa indigenous group to make way for diamond-mining operations in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR), critics have long suspected this to be the main motivation for the removals. When it became known in late 2010 that Gem Diamonds would begin mining operations in the CKGR, suspicions seem to have been confirmed.
Basarwa were granted the rights to occupy land within the CKGR, as a result of a court ruling in 2006, after years of attempted negotiations, struggle and litigation. Unfortunately, the victory was bitter-sweet as the government interpreted the ruling in the strictest way possible, only allowing the 189 actual applicants to return to the reserve. They also refused to provide services within the park or to re-open the waterholes that had been closed since 2002. The justification for this was that the Basarwa communities had already been adequately compensated through the provision of land and services in the form of settlements outside of the park.
In its press releases about the opening of its US$3 billion Gope mine, Gem Diamonds made it clear that they would work with the CKGR residents to ensure that the communities benefited from the mine.
However, many of the promises made by Gem Diamonds have yet to be delivered. In addition to promising to drill four new waterholes for the communities, the company told representatives of Botswana Khwedom Council (BKC), a local NGO, that they would establish a community trust so that communities could benefit from the mining operations.
The Gope mine management also met with community representatives and asked for advice regarding hiring members of the indigenous group. As of early 2012, only one of the existing waterholes has been reopened, no trust had been established, and it is unclear whether members of the communities will be hired or not.
Furthermore, there is concern over monitoring and ensuring that the needs of the communities in the CKGR are met, as organizations such as the BKC are refused permission to enter the reserve and speak to residents about the conditions they live in. With the mine officially opening in 2013, it is uncertain when the communities will begin to reap the benefits of diamond-mining on their land. In the meantime, they continue to live in abject poverty still cut off from government services.

Often, marathon runners experience severe fatigue at around the 30th km (after 90 minutes of running). This manifests as a strong desire to stop running. It's what's known as "hitting the wall". This happens because the body's glycogen (the principle fuel) stores in the liver and muscles are depleted and fat becomes the main fuel. Fat is a less effective fuel than glycogen, because it requires a lot more oxygen to produce the same amount of energy. That's why running speed decreases dramatically if fat becomes the main source of fuel.
Glycogen overloading—also known as carb loading—a few days before a marathon or half marathon helps optimize performance. You modify your diet and training to maximize the amount of glycogen in your muscles. A proper protocol followed faithfully will double your muscle's glycogen content. Note that this practice is not needed for 5 to 10km races.
|Muscle glycogen
|80-90 mmol/kg of muscle
|Endurance athletes
|130-135 mmol/kg of muscle
|Athletes that applied the carb loading protocol
|210-230 mmol/kg of muscle
Protocols for glycogen overloading have evolved over time. According to the most recent research, the recommendation is to reduce running volume the days before the race (what's known as tapering) and adopt a carbohydrate rich diet (9 to 12g carbs / kg body weight) for three days before the race. To do that, you can increase your portions of starches and fruits, and reduce protein and fats. You can eat carbohydrate-rich snacks like dried fruits and fig bars. It's important to properly hydrate and include sweet drinks like sports drinks or fruit juice in order to get the recommended amount of carbohydrates. The day before the race, it's important to choose a meal rich in carbohydrates and low in protein and fat. That's why spaghetti is the popular choice before a race! It can be noted that it is completely normal for the number on your scale to increase while you're carb loading. That's because carbohydrates absorb water. So, no need to panic, the weight gain is due to water rather than fat, and won't harm your performance at all!
A personalized and precisely calculated plan will help you optimize your glycogen stores and your performance. In fact, it isn't that easy to eat so many carbohydrates, that's why it's important to plan your glycogen overloading.

Here are two stories and both are absolutely true – and worth reading! The first began on 5 September 1893 when a son was born in St. Louis, MO to Irish-American parents Patrick Joseph and Cecilia Malloy O'Hare. Then named him Edward and he grew up to be a successful lawyer. He married Selma Louth who gave him three children: Edward (1914), Patricia (1919) and Marilyn (1924). In 1927, Edward moved to Chicago in hope of finding a better life. At the time, Al Capone virtually owned the city and was involved in everything from bootleg booze to prostitution. Capone needed a good lawyer and Eddie fit the bill. Nicknamed 'Easy Eddie', he was very good at legal maneuvering and keeping Big Al out of jail. O'Hare and Capone began collaborating in business and to show his appreciation, Capone paid him well and Eddie got special dividends, like a fenced-in mansion in luxurious Holly Hills with live-in help and all the conveniences of the day.
Eddie lived the high life of the Chicago mob and gave little consideration to the crime that went on around him. He did have one soft spot, however, and that was his son who he loved dearly. Eddie saw to it that his son had everything he needed from the best clothes to a good education. And, despite his involvement with organized crime, Eddie wanted his son to be a better man than he was. Yet, with all his wealth, there were two things he couldn't give him – a good name and good example. One day, Easy Eddie reached a difficult decision. To rectify wrongs he had done, he decided to go to the authorities and tell the truth about 'Scarface' Al Capone, clean up his family name and offer his son some semblance of integrity. He decided to secretly become an informant for the IRS and it was with his help that the government convicted and imprisoned Capone for income tax evasion. IRS agent Frank J. Wilson called Eddie one of the best undercover men I have ever known. Eddie testified against Capone, knowing that he was putting himself in harm's way. In 1939, a week before Capone was released from Alcatraz; O'Hare was driving home in his black 1939 Lincoln-Zephyr coupe. At the intersection of Ogden and Rockwell, two shotgun-wielding gunmen in a dark sedan drove alongside and fired a volley into his car. O'Hare was killed instantly. He died knowing that he had given his son the greatest gift he could offer – integrity – at the greatest price he could pay. Among his final effects, Police removed from his pockets a rosary, a religious medallion and a poem that read:
'The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power
to tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour.
Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will.
Place no faith in time. For the clock may soon be still.'
The second O'Hare story occurred years later during World War II – a war that produced many heroes. One such was Lieutenant Commander Butch O'Hare. Heart-to-heart talks with his father, who was fascinated with flying and had even hitched a ride in Charles Lindbergh's mail plane, inspired Butch to become a Navy pilot. A friend of his father's, Congressman John J. Cochran, had appointed Butch to the U.S. Naval Academy. He became a fighter pilot assigned to the aircraft carrier Lexington in the South Pacific. On 20 February, 1942, his squadron was sent on a mission. Once airborne, his saw that his crew chief had forgotten to top off his tank. Without enough fuel to complete the mission and return, his flight leader told him to return to the carrier. Reluctantly, he dropped out of formation and headed back. On his return he saw something that turned his blood cold – a squadron of Japanese 'Betty' bombers speeding toward the American fleet.
The American fighters were gone on a sortie and the fleet was all but defenseless. Butch couldn't reach his squadron and bring them back in time, nor could he warn the fleet of the approaching danger. There was only one thing to do. He must somehow divert them from their course. Laying aside all thoughts of personal safety, he dove into the formation of Japanese bombers with wing-mounted 50 caliber's blazing, attacking one surprised enemy plane after another. He wove in and out of the now broken formation and fired at as many planes as possible until his ammunition was finally spent. Undaunted, he continued the assault. He dove at the bombers, trying to clip a wing or tail in hopes of damaging as many of them as possible, rendering them unfit to fly. Finally, the exasperated Japanese squadron took off in another direction trying to flee this 'crazy' American pilot. Deeply relieved, Butch O'Hare and his tattered Grumman F-4F Wildcat fighter limped back to the carrier. Upon reporting in, he related the events surrounding his return. The film from the gun-mounted camera on his plane verified the tale. It showed the extent of his daring attempt to protect the fleet. He had, in fact, destroyed five enemy aircraft and damaged another. For his heroism Butch O'Hare became the Navy's first Ace of WWII and the first Naval Aviator to be awarded the Medal of Honor by Congress.
A year later Butch was killed in aerial combat at the age of 29. After the war, on April 19, 1947, 70 years ago this month, Col. Robert McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune, proposed that Chicago's new airport be named for the naval hero, who had often visited his father in their city. On September 17, 1949, O'Hare Airport was dedicated to Edward H. "Butch" O'Hare. So, the next time you find yourself at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, give some thought to visiting Butch's memorial displaying a Grumman F-4F, a statue of Butch and his Medal of Honor. It's exhibited in the west end of Terminal 2 behind the security checkpoint.
Now, what do these two O'Hares have in common? Butch was 'Easy Eddie's' son! (Pretty cool, eh!)

ELR Citation: 10 ELR 20777
Nos. No. 79-2409, 631 F.2d 258/(3d Cir., 07/17/1980)
The court reverses appellant's conviction for importation of an endangered species of tortoise, ruling that §9 of the Endangered Species Act is unconstitutionally vague. Section 9(b)(1) of the Act excepts endangered species held in captivity on December 28, 1973 from the general prohibition against importation. The second clause of the subsection provides that "this subsection" shall not apply to animals held in the course of a commercial activity. One possible interpretation of these two provisions is that §9 does not prohibit the importation of endangered wildlife held for a commercial purpose on December 28, 1973. Another possible reading is that the exception for wildlife held on the date of enactment is inapplicable to those held for commercial purposes. Without resolving this conflict, the court concludes that the provision does not provide prospective violators with fair notice as to what conduct it prohibits, and thus it must be struck down.

Greetings evolvers, and welcome to 2009.
Optimism is in the air -- globally, and also within The Evolution Control Committee. We've got some good and grand schemes planned for the year, and here's a few goodies for you to start the year off.
Our performance at the Red Devil Lounge gave us a chance to really show off what the new VidiMasher 3000 is capable of. Luckily we talked Brooke Buchanan into shooting a little video, and it edited together nicely:
For the "I'll Be Your Mirror" show The ECC did three mashups with Velvet Underground material. They were done live -- or rather, they were supposed to be done live, except TradeMark got carried away with other mashups and only got through one of the VU mashups... er, oops. So these are rough mixes of all of them:
Meme du jour: Microsoft Songsmith, the band-in-a-Windows-box software that creates music for whatever you sing. Actually, insert "cheesy" in front of "music" -- take a look at Microsoft's own cheesy commercial for the product and you're left wondering just who the indended market is for this thing. The results are nothing you'll be releasing on YouTube anytime soon. Or are they?
Some clever mashers figured out pretty quickly that a pop music vocal track can be fed into Songsmith, and -- er -- "something" will come out the other side. YouTube already has a number of these Songsmith Mashups, but we decided to just go straight for the jugular -- using Microsoft Songsmith on the Microsoft Songsmith commercial itself:
We couldn't resist putting together a few Songsmih Mashups of our own too:

DTR Ep 290: Blind Obedience
May 30, 2018
Obeying our own minds is sadly an art these days. In this episode, we examine the many ways that society follows instead of leading. Being overwhelmed by the burdens of existence leaves humanity exhausted to work their mind. Enjoy.

The gap between socio economic groups is growing. Not only differences in income or education, but also differences in health and life expectancy differ between socio economic groups. There is a growing group of forgotten vulnerable people. For example: abused children, children in poverty, people in trouble who live at campingsites, homeless people, refugees with trauma's, very lonely people which are not using social care, people who for financial reasons did not use health care or medications, computer and health illiterates.
How can we get a better insight in the needs of these vulnerable people which have no voice? How can we prevent that we blank out these people by our research or intervention methods? How can we give them a voice so the needs of these groups are more obvious in the public domain?
Data to work with
For this challenge you can actually use many of the generic and open datasets listed here. Additionally there is one that could help your investigate. Curious to the health issues causing people to visit their "house"doktor (NL: huisarts) in 2015?
- Nivel (Netherlands institute for health services research)
Dutch general practice (NL: huisarts) incidence and prevalence rates for 2015 classified by health issue.
Note: Incidence is the rate of occurrence of new cases. Prevalence is the proportion of cases in the population at a given time. Thus, incidence conveys information about the risk of contracting the disease, whereas prevalence indicates how widespread the disease is.

Speaking Out: Childhood in Lockdown
By Ari Gerzon-Kessler
Principal, March/April 2013
Even though Arapahoe Ridge Elementary is 2,000 miles from Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, within one hour of the tragic shooting in December 2012, our office manager received calls from six worried parents asking, "What are you going to do to keep my child safe?"
Parents have a right to demand safety for their children. Leaving schools accessible to an intruder will no longer be acceptable in any school in America. Security at every school building in America must be enhanced. It is important for us to be better prepared to confront a potential crisis and mitigate the carnage that might occur, even though prevention can never be full-proof.
On the other hand, I want our students to arrive at a school that is welcoming, not frightening. For example, as a principal I know that they need to be able to play outside at recess. Students have a right to feel the sunlight through windows without bars. They are entitled to childhoods of freedom, exploration, and joy.
How will we, as a culture, resolve these competing demands on our consciences? I believe that we need to increase the level of trust and sense of community in all of our schools, casting a wide, embracing net that protects us all. Greater connectivity between students, teachers, school leaders, counselors, parents, and community members leads to greater safety and resilience.
Community Dialogues
As somebody on the front lines of this battle for our children's safety, I think there is no substitute for a respectful, inclusive, and ongoing dialogue about how we protect our schools and protect childhood itself. Any attempt to rush through a radical national school security plan should be resisted.
Our focus should be on identifying underlying causes, and initially offering up more questions than solutions. In the rush to find answers, we might miss the solutions that work.
The key ingredient in a sane response, from my perspective, is community. Each community knows its schools best. The right response in Manhattan will not be the correct response in the wide open spaces of Missouri, and vice versa. This national dialogue needs to be bottom up, not top down. From the authentic voices of parents, teachers, and school leaders in communities across America, recommendations can emerge organically that have integrity at the grassroots.
Although it is an imperative that we become ever more vigilant in the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy, I can see how easy it would be for us to grow increasingly distrustful of each other and look for evil around each corner. By engaging in dialogue, we build trust and a sense of community as we develop solutions.
Connecting With Students
Roper studies and Gallup polls indicate that as many as 70 percent of school-age youth feel hopeless about the future and disempowered in their daily lives. What if each community asked itself the question, "How can we touch the hearts and feed the souls of all students so that there are no Adam Lanzas, who experience 13 years of schooling without having their hearts touched?"
What might be cultivated as well as prevented if we placed a greater focus on meeting the social and emotional needs of children, starting with their hearts? The most potent lesson I have learned as a teacher and a principal is that connecting with students' inner lives is a powerful pathway to help them feel seen, valued, and nurtured. Fostering strong relationships is also the best way to develop students' intellects and support their minds, and therefore provide safety for everyone.
Action Plan
While our nation debates these issues, principals can't wait for the results of studies or mandates from new programs from the U.S. Department of Education. We will be challenged to balance these competing issues at school tomorrow.
I intend to do what I hope the nation will do: I will work to strengthen our school community and invite all stakeholders into a deep and sustained dialogue. We will come together, in faith not in fear, and ask ourselves how we can keep our children safe—and still let them be children.
Ari Gerzon-Kessler is principal of Arapahoe Ridge Elementary School in Westminster, Colorado.

Out with the cold and in with the mild03.12.2016 17:40
Many of us will agree that the later part of November has been rather cold albeit relatively dry. It now looks like for the first part of December things will be changing. Temperatures are forecast to be on the up with more unsettled weather coming as the current synoptic set up starts to break down at the start of this coming week.
With high pressure sitting over the UK this past week, many places saw plenty of sunshine. The days were generally cold and crisp, but with these sunny days came clear and frosty nights and the temperatures fell quite significantly in a number of places. Scotland saw its coldest November temperature since 2010 with Braemar falling as low as -12.1C during the night of November 20th. Last Tuesday night just gone saw temperatures drop to a very cold -9.5C at Sennybridge in Wales. Wednesday night then saw a slight rise but still a rather cold -7.3C in Upper Lambourne in central southern England.
With a change in the weather on its way this coming week the high pressure is expected to slide more over the near continent, allowing Atlantic low pressure systems to track eastwards and push across the UK. A somewhat milder tropical maritime air mass is expected to penetrate the country from Monday with temperatures widely reaching 12-14C by Wednesday (7th December). However, with the warmer temperatures come with it the unsettled conditions; freshening southerly winds, spells of rain, heavy at times, and generally more in the way of cloud about.
With more cloud about last night temperatures did not fall quite as low as they have been lately. Last night (Friday night) got to -1.4C at Braemar in Aberdeenshire with the majority of places staying above zero.
However, before these warmer temperatures come about, Sunday is expected to be rather like today has been; chilly but with slightly more in the way of sunny spells for more places. It should stay largely dry although there is the exception up in the far north of Scotland and the Western Isles where some patchy light rain is likely under the thicker cloud.By: Alexi Venerus

The purpose of this message is to help ensure people are ready for Christ's return (Rapture or Second Coming) and are sharing His good news with others in hope they will be saved. Bible prophecy is just one means God uses to help save and prepare people. God has several other means to help save people, including miracles, etc., and always saves by granting faith in Him through His grace. Please pray for our country, friends, and enemies.
Brief World Recap Focused on Israel
Unprecedented, worldwide events likely continue illustrating fulfillment of Bible prophecy: continued deceit-filled corruption potentially leading to global chaos and violence, which will eventually usher in the call by people and their complicit governments for the antichrist to implement his promise of world peace. Little has changed in the debasement of governments and societies. Whether God will allow President Trump and other nationalists to delay this is to be seen.
God may stay the globalists' "hand" for a while. It is likely Trump will enact justice soon, and the lawless globalists in the US see the "hand writing on the wall" and may intensify their efforts.
In the past two days Israel exposed Iran's proxy in Lebanon, Hezbollah, operating in terror tunnels into Israel. Reportedly, Hezbollah has at least 140,000 rockets, some recently modified via Iran to improve their accuracy. The UNSC plans to meet on this threat to Israel soon. Iran continues to fund and support terrorist forces in Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza to destroy Israel. Reportedly, PM Netanyahu told diplomats there is a possibility for military action in Lebanon (https://beholdisrael.org/netanyahu-visits-israeli-lebanese-border-calls-for-sanctions-on-hezbollah/).
God's Grace in Providing Prophecy to Assure Our Understanding of the Truth
God is faithful, so is His prophecy (Isaiah 14:24, 46:10). God often uses repetitious, clarifying patterns of events throughout history to make His glory and majesty known to us. Frequently, they support and fulfill prophecy. Below is the likely case centered on God's prophetic "timepiece," Israel, primarily during the past 130 years per the book of Ezekiel (the basis is https://beholdisrael.org/ for much of this interpretation of the Bible):
Fulfilled – Israel again forsook God and He allowed them again to be scorned and scattered throughout the world circa 70AD. Ezekiel 36:3, 17-21
Fulfilled/Fulfilling – Holocaust and other related past and possible future patterns. Ezekiel 37: 1-2, 7-8, 10-14
Fulfilled – God caused the land of Israel to blossom before the Jewish people returned after almost 1,900 years of being essentially a barren land. Ezekiel 36:8-9
Fulfilled – God returns the Jewish people to their ancient homeland, recognized as the State of Israel in 1948 by a true man – President Truman. Ezekiel 36:8, 24; 38:8, 12; 39:25-29 (Separately, President Trump trumps all others in recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's legitimate and ancient capital.)
Fulfilling/Fulfilled – Then God repeatedly thwarted Israel's neighbors' attempts to destroy them to the point most no longer try but are becoming allies. Psalms 83:1-18, Ezekiel 36:7
Fulfilling – The Jewish people multiply, rebuild, and prosper in Israel as one nation. Ezekiel 36:10-12; 37:21-22 (likely a forerunning pattern of the Millennial Kingdom also); 38:12
Fulfilling – "After many days…in the latter years" (we are not to know the exact time frame, Ezekiel 38:8) God will drive likely Russia, Turkey (Ezekiel 38:3), Iran, Sudan, and Libya (Ezekiel 38:5) to plunder Israel's oil, gas, technological, agricultural resources, etc. while Israel is living securely (as it is today). Ezekiel 38:4, 8-12, 14-17; 39:1-2
Fulfilling/Future – European Union is attempting to establish a military force from 10 nations' militaries ("horns") likely eventually under the control of the antichrist. Revelation 13:1
Future – As Israel is invaded, it is likely Saudi Arabia, the US, UK, and others protest, not defend Israel. Ezekiel 38:13
Future – God alone will save Israel from Russia, Turkey, Iran, Libya, and Sudan. Ezekiel 38:18-23; Ezekiel 39:3-8
Future – Israel cleans its land of the invaders' bodies and reclaims their plunder, and for seven years burns their weapons (of possible mass destruction). Ezekiel 39:9-22
After this comes the rise of the antichrist, Tribulation, and Christ's Second Coming in which some of the patterns cited in Ezekiel and elsewhere in Scripture likely occur and recur. The Millennial Kingdom and eternal state follow Christ's Second Coming.
May God bless us all.

DEAR HELOISE: I have used a dishwasher for many years and have always used the same powdered detergent. Recently, the dishes had a white film on them after being washed in my dishwasher. I contacted the water department - no change there. I called the company that makes the detergent I've always used and was told it no longer uses phosphates in the powdered form. It suggested switching to the gel and making sure to use the hottest water. The gel works great. No more white film. - J.B. in California
J.B., I can't tell you how many people have been experiencing this. Some states have banned phosphates from being used in dishwasher detergent. We called a leading detergent manufacturer, which suggested using the condensed detergent packs instead of the regular gel or powder formula.
To remove the film on the glasses and dishes, place a bowl with 2 cups of vinegar on the bottom rack of the dishwasher and run it without detergent. Or heat up some vinegar until hot, but not boiling, and soak the glasses. If this does not work, then they may be permanently etched, and sorry, nothing will remove the etching. - Heloise
DEAR READERS: It's often cheaper to buy things in bulk, but what if you don't use all of the product? Apples are a good example. Peel, core or slice the apples. Sprinkle some lemon juice on them to keep them from turning brown. Place the cut apples into a freezer container or plastic freezer zipper bags. You can measure them in specific amounts for baking. - Heloise
DEAR HELOISE: When you open a new box of brown sugar, put it into a glass jar. Add half a slice of bread and close the lid.
The brown sugar will stay soft for a very long time. Even if the bread dries out, it will still keep the brown sugar soft. - D. Bergmeister in Pollock Pines, Calif.

When you think of a Nigerian Blog , what comes to your mind? Well, these guys will give you an insight to redefine that brand, their approach to blogging will show you that a Nigerian Blog is not only a tool for desperados.
Every day, there are thousands of new blogs created. Even more blogs spring up in Nigeria by the minute, but the influx in the amount of blogs does not mean there is a rise in the amount of bloggers, on the contrary, there is a decline.
More individuals exit the blogging space in Nigeria by the day and at an alarming rate, however this is not so obvious to the onlooker who is not a blogger, or who does not have an in-depth understanding of blogging.
I chose to say there is a decline in the amount of bloggers because I don't believe you are a blogger once you have a blog, many are out to tarnish the image of blogging as a result of their dirty acts.
Blogging like every other profession have best practices, And if you do not abide by them, you are bound to fail, and this is one of the major reasons the amount of bloggers in the nation is declining, no one wants to stand by the best practice of blogging anymore. Most want to hit it big in one week, they want to own exotic cars without giving what it takes to attain that level of success, this is why there are many so called bloggers jumping ship to be freelancers, and do all from of trading, and even advanced fee fraud, yet, they hide under the umbrella of the world of blogging. Because they own blogs does not make them bloggers.
This list should inspire you who is not yet an established blogger, to strive to make a name for yourself and to leave a footprint in the sands of time. It is possible if only you keep to the dream and the vision.
The bloggers listed in this list have been checked over time and their approach towards blogging have been different. They are those I call "bloggers". They have distinguished themselves and are building brands for themselves with their blog (for those whose blog are not brands yet).
The yardstick which was used to measure these bloggers is simple, Quality, Creativity, Branding, strategy, craftiness, social media reputation, and a few others. A visit to their blogs will prove the point.
No blog which started as a company is on the list, (i.e. no site that started with a few employees is on the list, E.G Naij) also, there are not news sites on the list.
Though some or any of them is not riding a posh today, if they continue doing the right thing, they will arrive there.
Top Ten of Most Matured Nigerian Blog (s) and Bloggers
Here are my top ten picks matured Nigerian bloggers, you want to make the list? Get noticed, do the right thing, and wait for your time. The list is in no particular order.
1. Jide Ogunsanya : You know him? Many Nigerian bloggers do, he is the founder of the popular OgbongeBlog, a blogger par excellence, and it is a no brainer he has distinguished himself.
Jide is responsible for Bloggers lab, a Facebook group that brings thousands of bloggers together, he also pioneers BloggersNG, a Nigerian blog directory for bloggers.
He uses OgbongeBlog to teach how-tos', blogging and money making.
2. Wale AdeKile: Many people know him as Don Caprio, he is one heck of a guy man. A visit to Geek NG will proof the class of the owner. Geek is a famous Nigerian blog where tech news and tips are reeled out on a daily basis, recently, Geek was mentioned by mashable.
Some years back, before he rechristened the blog to geekNG, he used it to teach blogging tutorials, an approach he suspended for reviews, although some months back, he re-opened Doncaprio.com to resume tech tutorials, a part of him he claimed has refused to die.
3. AdeSoji Adegbulu: Have you visited MMO NG? Goodness! The quality of that blog is charming. And you cannot but admire the brain behind it. Soji uses his platform to teach making money online, and he employs rear and obviously worldclass strategies.On MMO, I first observe a Nigerian blog offer premium content (readers pay to read some posts), that is amazing, it shows the desire and confidence in the quality of the administrator.
4. Toby Nwazor: I learnt about Toby when he dropped a comment on my blog, A checked on his profile made me realize hes an amazing bloke. I even had a brief chat with him earlier and a visit to Toby's blog MystartupCeo will blow you away. Toby has contents of the highest quality, no wonder he is an author for Fortune, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, business2community, goodmenproject etc. Toby Nwazor is a business coach, public speaker, blogger, freelancer etc and he does it at the highest level. I think Toby has done the Nigerian blog as a brand proud.
5. Awazie Ikechi: If you don't know AwazieIkechi.com, you may be forgiven, because the owner strives for the most targeted traffic, I met him in Aha-Now bloggers forum own by Harleena Singh.
He is one of the most matured I have encountered, he doesn't serve ads on his blog,(are you kidding me?, there are some others who don't, but he is the first I noticed) I talked to him about it, and he gave his reasons and user experience was one of it, now that's maturity. Some blogs force you to click on their ads, yet Ikechi respects your presence so much he doesn't serve you an ad.
He uses his platform to educate, inspire and develop the world in his own way. You can read my post on the three emotions that determine our life long decisions on Awazie's blog
6. Maverick Excel: Anytime I think of him, I think of his wide grin (am sorry). I stumbled upon his blog somehow, and I was swept away. I quickly went ahead and had a few minutes chat with him. He's an amazing young lad who is striving to make a mark. His writing skills distinguish him, He's one good writer. He uses MaverickExcel to teach blogging and do self-development.
I recently learnt of his podcasting series and this is a huge step in the right direction. One of his dreams is to write for Forbes.
7. Nosagie Nosa-Ero: This guy is an enigma. While I think he is in the wrong niche, there is little I can do. When I started blogging, I had flair for two Niches, Self-development and tech, I had to make a choice, I chose Self Development, Nosa was in the same dilemma, but he went the other way(he didn't tell me, I observed from a distance, because Nosa had a Self-Development blog).
If Nosa makes a post – on Facebook, and that post does not radiate the hatred for failure or mediocrity, then that post isn't from Nosa.
He owns TechREZ, which he advises is the Resurrection of Tech, and with Techrez, Nosa furnishes the web space with amazing tech write ups and reviews.
8. Otunba Sam Adeyinka: The owner of income splash, is one I respect from afar, I don't know why, but I strongly think it is because he has a good knowledge of what he does, he is not scared of plunging into the deep world of the unknown. He writes in an amazing fashion and he is an amazing blogger who advises that he wants to help as many business as possible succeed online.
Sam uses his platform to reach out to businesses and entrepreneurs and helps them to use the web for the growth of their business.
9. Bisco Ibitade Chukwuemeke: So you are surprised I made the cut? Did you expect I don't do blogging according to ethics? Anyway, Bisco Ibitade owns InspiredFully, which he uses to teach Self Development and it has been his medium to reach entrepreneurs who want to take their businesses online. He has helped lots of small business owners take their business online and has continued to impact in his own way.
With inspiredfully, Bisco Ibitade also reaches out to bloggers and direct them in the right path, and so far it has been working.
10. Samuel Afolabi: A visit to techlector will inspire you. Samuel is an undergraduate but maintains techletor as a pro. I appreciate his style and the passion with which he runs it. I do not have much to say about the blog – as it is a tech review blog, but the maturity he applies to the day to day running is very much recognized. He uses his blog to constantly release reviews of gadgets, and dishes out tech news.
The purpose of this post is simply to celebrate those who have been doing a good job in their industry. There are lots of other amazing bloggers who were not mentioned. Their efforts are well appreciated, and subsequently, they will be recognized too.
Also as I said before, this should inspire those who are up and coming to strive for excellence.

Paperback, Very Good Condition, First Edition, pp 159, b&w + Colour illustrations, Often a lifeline for remote waterside communities, the Scottish pier has been a functional rather than a pleasure pier. Served by paddle steamers, puffers and small coasters, the piers served a vital function for their communities. Often with stunning mountain backdrops, many settlements clustered around the piers, which provided a means of communication with the world at large. Some piers, like Rothesay's, could accommodate a number of pleasure steamers at once, while others, such as Tighnabruaich's, were built with functionality in mind, providing for the needs of the inhabitants. Alistair Deayton brings together a superb selection of images of the Clyde Coast piers from the late nineteenth century to the present day, telling their history and showing just some of the variety of vessels that called there. From MacBrayne's steamers to the paddle steamers filled to the gunwales with daytrippers and the puffers of Glenlight, a vast array of ships are shown. S8.

FeedBurner All-Time Stats Restored
Louis Gray and Kristen Nicole noted late last week that the all-time web statistics had completely disappeared from FeedBurner's system. Now they're back. As it turns out, it was a whole big mistake. Product Manager for the FeedBurner team at Google, Steve Olechowski stopped by Louis Gray's blog yesterday afternoon to try to clear up the misunderstanding.
Some points are being raised now whether the blogosphere rushed to judgment on this one, too, or whether it was truly a matter of reporting the facts as they were, echoing the accusations of Fred this weekend, as he talked of the coverage of Zynga and the Social Gaming Network.
Here's the thing, though, that differentiates the two stories (and within those differentiations may lay some pointers for Web 2.0 companies in the future).
* FeedBurner hadn't updated their blog since November of last year. Additionally, I can tell you as a subscriber to the FeedBurner podcast that it hasn't been updated since shortly before the purchase of FeedBurner by Google. Particularly odd habits of communication for a company responsible for an unimaginably large portion of the blogosphere's communication.
* FeedBurner didn't publicly respond to the statistics disappearance in most of the high-traffic blogs that covered and broke the story - only two, by my count.
* FeedBurner still hasn't updated their blog reflecting the biggest story about FeedBurner in the last three months.
* It was a holiday weekend, and company representatives were not readily available for comment.
Here's the point: all signs pointed towards neglect of the FeedBurner system, something that isn't uncharacteristic for Google of their acquisitions. In fact, it's starting to become a pattern. Back in April, Dodgeball, a Twitter-like acquisition by Google was pronounced dead. Jaiku is laungishing, presently suffering full catastrophic failure due to the loss of two hard disks. FeedBurner's near constant communication with their userbase has ground to a halt since their acquisition.
What are we to think? Listen, very few people love Google more than I, but there is a certain something going on there at the company that is unsettling. I want them to succeed and maintain the service levels we've all become accustomed to; they've purchased just about every Web 2.0 company I've ever been a fan of. I'd love to see those companies continue to develop further so that I can be a fanboy, not an apologist, for Google.

Neither side backs down on day two of Lufthansa pilots' strikeComments
Lufthansa pilots say they will be staying on strike until the end of the three-day stoppage.
Day two of the strike over retirement arrangements has seen about 700 flights cancelled at Frankfurt, Europe's third-largest passenger hub.
Altogether 3,800 flights are being grounded, that is nine out of ten during the strike period.
The pilots want Lufthansa to reinstate a scheme allowing them to retire early and still receive a significant proportion of their pay.
The airline says there is no need for the plan as the law now allows pilots to fly until they are older, reflecting longer life expectancies.
The check-in desks have been re-named "re-booking desks".
Free drinks and snacks are available for passengers still persevering, but in fact many have already booked onto other airlines, gone by train or made other arrangements.
With little prospect of an early end to the strike, Lufthansa is aiming for a return to normal service on Saturday.

I'm sure you recall the long and nasty election season of 2016. Yeah the one in which Donald Trump shocked the world and got elected President of the United States. I immediately wanted to understand who in the world would vote for such a man. Living in diverse, affluent Arlington, VA I thought we represented the rest of America. Man was I wrong. So I picked up this book at Barnes and Noble and learned about people truly suffering in the industrial industry, coal industry, with VA affairs, etc. I also learned about what I suspected: racists and mysogynists making excuses about why they are or in total denial that they are. Still quite eye opening about the America that I actually live in versus the progressive one I imagined in my head.

Hard to believe? The underlying principle is simple: If you superimpose two sound waves of the same frequency and volume so that the crests of one wave meet the troughs of the other wave, the two waves "extinguish" each other. It is hoped that by using this technology in aeroplane engines, the resulting noise levels will be reduced. You will learn about important parameters of acoustic waves. You will use a model fan – a fan is the first stage in an aeroplane's engine – to find out how sound is generated and how it can be manipulated through active noise reduction.
Quieter times are coming
Who amongst us has not experienced this: Aeroplane noise so loud you can hardly hear yourself think or air conditioning in offices that force you into shouting to make yourself heard. Our ears seem to be particularly sensitive to some kinds of noises and these drown out everything else.
Scientists have found ways to reduce a lot of noise: They know how to reduce the din coming from engines or air conditioning. They have developed active headphones that extinguish homogeneous background noise. Pilots use this in the cockpit and some passengers do the same on long-haul flights. By using "sound design", you can make your purring 12-cylinder car sound like a roaring monster or block out engine noise completely.
Targeting the root of the problem
"If I had to do my homework with building site noise in the background, I would have different problems at once. If I put my hands over my ears, I wouldn't be able to write and I also wouldn't be able to hear my phone ringing. If I used ear plugs, I'd be able to use my hands, but otherwise my problems would remain. Sound-absorbing windows would be useful, but I don't like working with my windows closed, as the air tends to get stuffy. There must be a method that targets noise as it is made!"

If Earth were positioned far above the plane of the Milky Way, we could look down on the glorious spectacle of the galactic disk, where four main spiral arms delineate the structure of our galaxy. Alas, it is not to be. We're buried deep within the disk itself, which muddles our view of galactic structure.
Despite this handicap, radio astronomers have made great strides over the past few decades mapping the Milky Way, identifying four main spiral arms that all originate near the galactic center. In an ongoing radio survey of the southern sky, a team led by Naomi McClure-Griffiths (Commonwealth Science and Industrial Research Organization, Australia) recently identified what could be a new spiral arm in the outer reaches of the disk.
In the team's survey, which includes data from the Australia Compact Telescope Array and the 64-meter Parkes radio telescope, the arm showed up as a region of enhanced density of neutral hydrogen gas. Starting at about 60,000 light-years from the galactic center, the structure curls outward to a distance of 80,000 light-years, putting it beyond the Milky Way's visible disk of stars and gas.
Astronomers do not know yet if this arm is forming stars. Gas clouds in the four main spiral arms continuously churn out newborn stars. But in galaxies such as M81 in Ursa Major and M83 in Hydra, gaseous spiral arms extend well beyond the visible disk and contain few if any stars. The southern radio survey can only detect hydrogen, but recent radio observations by Masanori Nakagawa (Nagoya University, Japan) and his colleagues found carbon monoxide, a tracer of dense gas clouds, from the region of this new spiral arm. "This result may point to star formation, but it's inconclusive," says McClure-Griffiths.
Because there are gaps in the radio survey's sky coverage, the possibility exists that the new arm connects to one of the four main spiral arms: the Outer Arm (which probably attaches to the Norma Arm in the inner galaxy). If all three features connect, it would be the first Milky Way spiral feature known to wrap more than 360° around the galactic center.
The gravitational tugs of satellite galaxies could have disrupted the outer disk of the Milky Way, forming the newly discovered arm. "Maybe spiral structure in this region of the galaxy is affected by the Magellanic Clouds," says McClure-Griffiths. Dark matter presumably provides the gravitational glue that prevents the arm from disintegrating.
The team's discovery paper will be published in the June 1st Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Update 3:43pm: MFAH acting director Gwen Goffe offered her thoughts.
Her comments after the jump.
Update 1:17pm: Bill Arning, director of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, shared with us his thoughts on Marzio's passing.
His comments after the jump.
We are stunned after the news of Museum of Fine Arts director Peter Marzio's death this morning.
He had been extremely private about his battle with cancer. He was 67.
Marzio was an internationally-known art figure, having helmed the MFAH for 28 years. His most recent act as director, the commission of Cai Guo-Qiang's gunpowder drawing Odyssey for the museum's Arts of China Gallery, caused a sensation here in Houston and abroad.
Marzio was the subject of a 1997 Houston Press feature detailing the advances he'd made for the MFAH. Art Attack last spoke to him in September about a rash of art thefts in Europe.
Marzio was also the subject of some controversy when Newsweek reported that he was the sixth-highest paid charity CEO in the United States.
But Marzio's career achievement was turning the MFAH into an internationally-recognized fine arts destination.
This is shocking news. Marzio will be sorely missed.
We'll be back to update during the day.
Gwen Goffe, acting director, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston:

"It's very depressing. We're all mourning the loss."
"Peter was a very private person. Whether [his illness] had turned or not, he tried to hide it, so people were not really aware. He'd done well for a considerable time."
"The role that he really cherished was being an educator and a person who brought diverse communities together through art. There's a lot of statistics you can point to in terms of the collection--from 13,000 works of art to 62,000; attendance was 380,000, and it went to over 2,000,000. We built the Beck Building, the Cullen Sculpture Garden, the Kilroy Center."
"Peter loved Houston and loved this institution."
"You would hear him talking to somebody on the telephone, and you would hear this loud, boisterous laugh. He really, truly enjoyed every minute of what he did. That's not something everybody can say."
Goffe said the museum wouldn't be acting hastily to fill Marzio's position, but that eventually there will be a search for a new director. "Someone like Peter Marzio," she said.
CAMH director Bill Arning:
"His fame was well beyond Houston. He was very generous with his time and advice about the particularities of Houston as a city and how things worked. He spoke with such a quiet authority, and he was so brilliant in terms of understanding how museums need to function and the relationship between trustees and public, because the director's really the crux, the intersection point, and he could do that with incredible grace, ease and brilliance."
"One of the marks of a great director is to build an institution that is strong enough that it can survive either your retirement or your passing, and I think he's spent the last decade building a museum that is very strong and has a very strong support system and structure behind it. It was very important to him that he build a museum that can thrive after he's gone, and I think he has done that."
"I don't know if anyone's going to be able to comfortably sit in that seat, because he's so publicly identified with that museum. I live and work in the neighborhood, and when I'm walking over to Hermann Park, and I go past the wall where Peter's office is, I get a sense of his presence. It's going to be hard to find anyone as dynamic as Peter, but he's built a museum that's going to be there forever, and his contributions and that legacy is a monument to him."
