When Microsoft released Windows NT 4.0, it included the NWConvert utility to help organizations migrate NetWare bindery-based servers to NT. NWConvert was an effective tool that performed well for shops that didn't use Novell Directory Services (NDS). Now, as Microsoft's server market share continues to increase, the company has redrawn the battle lines in its competition with Novell. No longer focused solely on increasing its NT Server sales, Microsoft is fighting for control of the enterprise directory namespace.
Active Directory (AD) is Microsoft's foremost weapon in the fight for directory dominance. Microsoft has positioned AD to be a robust, enterprisewide directory. And NT 5.0 includes Directory Service Migration Tool, a new utility that lets you migrate all or part of an NDS or bindery-based directory to AD. The utility migrates NetWare users, groups, files, rights, and container structures to their counterparts in AD. Directory Service Migration Tool lets you divide migrations into projects, so you can migrate sections of an NDS directory one at a time and make a large migration manageable.
When you run the utility, NT queries selected parts of your NDS tree, obtains necessary data, and writes the data to a local database. You can view and manipulate your NDS data in the Directory Service Migration Tool database before entering the data in AD, and the changes don't affect your production NetWare environment. This ability to manipulate your NDS information before writing it to AD is great because it lets you work at your own pace during a migration. In addition, because this utility transfers your directory data across the network, you don't risk damage to your NDS structure during the migration.
You must decide for yourself whether to migrate your NDS directory to AD. (For more information about NDS and NetWare-to-NT migrations, see "Related Articles in Windows NT Magazine," page 164.) If you decide to make the transition, this utility makes the process less difficult.
Before you can use Directory Service Migration Tool, you need to install an appropriate protocol on your NT 5.0 server to connect to your NetWare servers and the Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW) client. Then, select the Add/Remove Programs applet in Control Panel, and choose the Windows NT Setup tab. Double-click Networking Options and select Directory Service Migration Tool. The utility installs as a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in.
Next, you need to add the snap-in to an MMC file. Run mmc.exe to launch MMC, then select Add/Remove Snap-in from the File menu and select Add, Directory Service Migration Tool, as Screen 1 shows. Save this MMC configuration for easy future access: Select Console, Save As to save the configuration as an MMC (.msc) file. By default, MMC saves the .msc file in the My Administrative Tools directory for the user account you used to log on. If you save the configuration in this directory, MMC puts the utility on your Start menu.
Migrating NDS to AD
After you add the utility to an MMC file, you can start creating projects. The utility lets you add new projects as you work through different phases of your NDS migration. For example, you might create a separate project for each of your company's servers or offices. This feature is important because an enterprise directory migration is a large task. You need to plan, check, and double-check your work every step of the way, and you need to make sure you have reliable backups. To create a new project, right-click Directory Service Migration Tool in MMC and select New, Project.
To start importing NDS information from NetWare, right-click the project you defined and select New, View from NetWare to start Directory Service Migration Tool's Discover Wizard. The wizard prompts you for the information it needs to begin the import process. During step 2, which Screen 2 depicts, the wizard asks you to select one or more contexts (organizations or organizational units--OUs) to import into your project. Select the contexts you want to import, then click Add Context to add them to the Selected Contexts pane of the Discover Wizard window, then click Next. The wizard will finish, and Directory Service Migration Tool will start importing your NDS information into the database.
Screen 2 shows a project in which I asked Directory Service Migration Tool to import the CONSTELLATION organization object, which resides within the CONSTELLATION NDS tree on the ORION intraNetWare server. The organization object consists of a few users and other NDS objects, as Screen 3 shows.
When the Directory Service Migration Tool discovery process finishes, the utility lets you know whether it generated any error messages or warnings during the discovery process. You need to look into any problems the utility reports. Click Log Viewer to look through an Event Viewer-type log to investigate problems that the utility encountered while importing your NDS directory. Directory Service Migration Tool logged two errors and four warning events during my migration of CONSTELLATION. One warning event reported that Directory Service Migration Tool didn't support the NDS object for the queue LASERJET, so the utility couldn't import LASERJET. Screen 4 shows this warning.
After you import your NDS data into Directory Service Migration Tool, you can evaluate and manipulate the data, if necessary. At this step in the migration process, you'll really appreciate the utility. For example, suppose your NDS structure uses the letters NW (for NetWare) in some object names. Such a naming scheme might be misleading in an NT directory structure, so you need to find all occurrences of NW in your directory object names and replace the NW with NT. Directory Service Migration Tool can perform this global find-and-replace task automatically and commit the changes to its copy of your NDS data.
You can also tell Directory Service Migration Tool to globally apply a certain type of password to each user account it imports. It can apply random passwords to user accounts, apply a password you choose to every account, remove passwords from accounts, or use a user's logon name as the password.
If you change your mind about alterations you make to the directory data, just delete the project you're manipulating, create a new project with the same NDS data, and start your changes over on the new copy of the data. When you're satisfied with Directory Service Migration Tool's copy of your NDS data, you're ready to write that directory information to AD. Make sure you know where in your AD structure you want to place the NDS data. You might want to import the NDS data into new OUs within AD so that you can keep it separate from your existing AD structure until you're sure Directory Service Migration Tool migrated all the NDS data correctly. When you're confident that all your data migrated correctly, you can move the new objects within AD to place them in the proper OUs. I created an OU called NDS to import my NDS data into, then moved the data to its final location when I was confident that my migration was successful.
Microsoft gave the AD-import function the not-so-intuitive name Configure Objects to NTDS. To open the function, right-click an object within your project and select Task, Configure Objects to NTDS, as Screen 5 shows. The Configure Objects to NTDS window will open. This window lets you select a destination container in AD to import the NDS directory data into, as Screen 6, page 164, shows. After you select a destination container, Directory Service Migration Tool writes directory information to AD. Screen 7 shows the outcome of my sample migration: Directory Service Migration Tool successfully migrated my OUs and user objects from NDS to AD.
Almost Ready
Directory Service Migration Tool is a powerful feature of NT 5.0, but the version that came with NT 5.0 beta 1 isn't complete. For example, I added user attributes including a telephone number, account expiration date, and title to the NDS record for DougT. However, the utility didn't migrate my telephone number or account expiration information. I'm not sure where the NDS Title field should have appeared in my AD user record, but that property didn't survive the migration either. Losing such important information in a migration is a problem, but I'm confident that this failure is a result of the beta 1 Directory Service Migration Tool's incompleteness.
The beta 1 version of the utility is also light on documentation, but because of the complexity of NDS and AD, I expect Microsoft to have thorough documentation for this utility by the time the company releases NT 5.0. I hope that the documentation will include a translation table that shows which NDS objects and properties Directory Service Migration Tool can migrate, which objects and properties it can't migrate, and which AD field NDS properties (such as the Title property) end up in. No large-scale enterprise migration plan can be complete if administrators can't access such a table.
Finally, the beta 1 version is missing a feature that will benefit administrators. No migration to NT is complete without data migration, so Directory Service Migration Tool (like its predecessor, NWConvert) lets you migrate all your files. Unlike NWConvert, the new tool migrates file permissions and security, so it keeps your security configuration intact when it migrates your data from NDS to AD. This functionality isn't in the beta 1 version of the utility, but documentation in beta 1 states that it will be in the final NT 5.0 release.
Directory Service Migration Tool is useful. You can migrate entire branches of your NDS directory to NT with just a few mouse clicks and keystrokes. The final version's inclusion of a security configuration migration feature will make migrations fast and easy. File permission structures on large enterprise networks are usually complex, and when Directory Service Migration Tool makes migrating security information as easy as migrating user accounts, the utility will save administrators a lot of time.

How to Fit All Your Furniture Into a Small House
Downsizing into a smaller home means employing good space-planning principles. Use a two-step process: Remove what you don't need and use a floor plan to place the remaining essentials. When you acquire new furniture pieces or accessories, take your room and furnishing dimensions on your shopping trip. Use a notebook or load your data into your smartphone and take along a tape measure. You'll be confident of getting the right-sized piece in the right place every time.
Pare Down and Edit
Recycle old papers and magazines, donate or sell used books and clothing, and have a yard sale to weed out small furniture pieces and appliances that take up space. Strip down to the most essential furniture pieces for each room. For example, keep your bed, sofa, desk, and a table and chair for eating. Starting with a pared-down collection will make your space planning much easier.
Plan Your Space
Measure your furniture pieces, get the dimensions of your new space and draw up a floor plan. There are online floor plan sites, but the graph paper method works fine. Cut out shapes to scale that represent your furniture and move them around to find your best placement. Think creatively to fit your needs into your space. For example, if you don't host dinner parties, you might use the dining area for an office, craft space or kids' playroom. Once you've moved in, you can gradually add the pieces you need to supplement your basics.

This Year, Say Goodbye to Cellulite ... and Hello to Cellulaze
By Martie Emory Forsyth Family Magazine May 2014
Looking and feeling our best is a coveted goal we all share. For many women, cellulite is the big, bad enemy!
Eighty two percent of women report having some cellulite. It's that dimpling of skin we loathe (i.e., "cottage cheese" or "orange peel" thighs), especially as beach season nears and bathing suits or shorts become the attire of choice. Most people think that diet and exercise are the fix for cellulite, but the truth is, they don't work.
"There's a misconception about cellulite. Having cellulite doesn't mean you are overweight," says Dr. Anne L. White of Carolina Laser & Cosmetic Center in Winston-Salem. "Slender, even muscular women can have cellulite, and most treatments on the market that say they treat cellulite are topical. Topical treatments can't treat it effectively. We have to go to the root of cellulite's cause, below the surface of the skin, to treat it."
The encouraging news - and a true breakthrough in this area—is the introduction of the Cynosure® Cellulaze™ Laser Cellulite Reduction treatment. Available to only a select group of physicians across the country, Cellulaze has been available at Carolina Laser & Cosmetic Center since May of 2013. Dr. Anne L. White is one of the few cosmetic surgeons in North Carolina, and the most experienced in the Triad, to offer this amazing procedure. "With the introduction of Cellulaze, I can finally give my patients the results they've been looking for, and that they've come to expect from us," says Dr. White.
The first and only FDA-approved, one-time, minimally invasive, long lasting treatment for reducing the appearance of cellulite, Cellulaze offers doctors a brand new way to think about cellulite and, in turn, a new way to approach attacking it. The procedure goes to the root of the problem, which actually lies beneath the skin. As we age, our skin thins and the underlying tissue bands stiffen. As the fat cells surrounding them push up into the thinning skin and the tissue bands pull down, a dimpling appearance of the skin appears - and we all know the unsightly results of that scenario!
The revolutionary Cellulaze procedure uses laser energy to melt the fat and break the vertical bands, promoting collagen production, which has been clinically shown to result in improved skin thickness and increased skin elasticity. The tissue bands regrow in a diagonal direction, the same direction as they develop normally in men (which is why you don't often see men with cellulite), which helps keep the cellulite from returning. It stimulates collagen to tighten the skin from the inside out - which fosters further improvement, even after the treatment is complete. Backed by two years of clinical research, in-depth studies have shown that post-treatment the skin increases its thickness 25% and its elasticity by 29%, significant claims that haven't been made by any other treatments. Thicker and more elastic skin can help flatten and smooth the skin's surface to improve the appearance of cellulite.
The best candidates for Cellulaze are patients who are seeking cellulite correction and do not want major surgery, are not significantly overweight, and who exhibit mild to moderate cellulite in the thigh and buttock areas. Cellulaze is minimally invasive, which means there's no general anesthesia. Because the area is numbed with local anesthesia, there is minimal discomfort during the procedure, though one may feel slight pressure. Following the Cellulaze treatment, patients may experience some soreness, but will be able to return to normal activities in a few days. Some change to the treated skin will be immediately noticeable, with optimal results seen in just three to six months from the treatment date.
For women plagued by unattractive cellulite, it's happy news as spring and summer approach, and for Carolina Laser & Cosmetic Center it's another positive way to guide patients to a new and improved look - sure to build confidence and self-esteem.
If you feel you may be a good candidate for Cellulaze, or would like more information on this innovative new opportunity in skin treatment, contact Carolina Laser & Cosmetic Center at 336-659-2663 or visit their website at www.carolinalaser.com. Their offices are conveniently located near Hanes Mall at 145 Kimel Park Drive, Suite 140, Winston-Salem, NC.

Are my kids eating genetically engineered food?
The sad truth is many of the foods that are most popular with children contain GMOs. Cereals, snack bars, snack boxes, cookies, processed lunch meats, and crackers all contain large amounts of high risk food ingredients. In North America, over 80% of our food contains GMOs. If you are not buying foods that are Non-GMO Project Verified, most likely GMOs are present at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
What if I only buy organic?
Shopping organic is a great step towards ensuring that your family eats the healthiest foods possible. The challenge is that although GMOs are an excluded method under the National Organic Program, organic certification does not require GMO testing. Choosing products that are Certified Organic AND Non-GMO Project Verified is the best way to make sure you are getting the safest, healthiest, highest-quality food for your family.
What are the most common GMOs?
The most common GMOs are soy, cotton, canola, corn, sugar beets, Hawaiian papaya, alfalfa, and squash (zucchini and yellow). Many of these items appear as added ingredients in a large amount of the foods we eat. For instance, your family may not eat tofu or drink soy milk, but soy is most likely present in a large percentage of the foods in your pantry.
GMOs may be hidden in common processed food ingredients such as: Amino Acids, Aspartame, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Ascorbate, Vitamin C, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Flavorings ("natural" and "artificial"), High Fructose Corn Syrup, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Lactic Acid, Maltodextrins, Molasses, Monosodium Glutamate, Sucrose, Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP), Xanthan Gum, Vitamins, Yeast Products.
I am overwhelmed by the prospect of changing our diet, where should I begin?
Take a step by step approach. For instance, many parents find it is useful to begin with looking at what their family is eating for breakfast.
There are many resources available to help you find non-GMO choices:

Need More Pep in Your Step?
Ancient Chinese philosophers recognized that a sedentary lifestyle would lead to certain diseases that could be prevented with regular exercise. Ancient Greeks participated in gymnastics, running, jumping, and wrestling because they believed that a strong, healthy body was necessary to harbor a sound mind.
In the words of the Greek philosopher Hippocrates, "If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health."
How Many Steps Do I Need to Make?
According to the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans the recommended amount of activity for adults is the following:
5 hours each week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity AND muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms).
2 hours and 30 minutes each week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity AND muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms).
Things to Consider with Exercise:
1. Do weight bearing activities such as running or using a small trampoline (Google: rebounder)
2. Drink plenty of water, if you go over an hour remember to replenish with a sports drink, gel or light snack
3. Great supplements to include: joint support formulas, vitamin B, and high quality organic fish oils rich in omega-3s.
4. Warm up and cool down with light stretching

Happy Feet
As far back as 1600 B.C., we have been wearing shoes for comfort, protection, style and performance. Lately, there has been a debate as to what we should be putting on our feet …or not. The running shoe industry has grown to massive proportions in the last 30 years, and some argue that the shoes we wear today — with all the support and cushion — are actually weakening our natural arches, and causing more injuries than they prevent!
The shoes and inserts we wear today attempt to replace our natural arches. By doing so, some argue, the natural support structures in our feet (arches, muscles and tendons) have weakened so much that they no longer do what they were designed to do.
Some experts, like Benno Nigg of the Human Performance Lab at the University of Calgary, claim that wearing shoes causes the small muscles of the feet and even core muscles to become weak, which impacts our natural biomechanics and may contribute to knee and hip pain. Nigg believes that by strengthening muscles in the foot, we can improve our natural biomechanics.
While there isn't much clinical evidence that running shoes have improved sports performance or reduced injury rates, there is also little evidence that running barefoot or in minimal footwear offers any advantages. There is growing evidence that high heels and stiff shoes do cause damage to feet and may lead to back problems.
So what's the solution?
Things To Do To Have Happier Feet:
1. Practice walking barefoot – start slow and at home
2. Buy soft sole shoes with little to no heel.
3. If using shoes add orthotics – for some barefoot isn't an option so give yourself support
4. Avoid constricting shoes
Healing Affirmations
From her book Heal Your Body Louise L. Hays gives suggestions on how to awaken within you the ability to contribute to your own healing process. She advises to pick an aliment or problem and read affirmations associated with those problems to help eliminate them. Read the affirmation(s) for thirty days and see how your body feels.

Cryptosporidium and Giardia Lamblia
No evidence of Cryptosporidium and Giardia has been found in our water system.
EPA Guidelines
In 1996, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) adopted a new Information Collection Rule (ICR), which provides guidelines for testing Cryptosporidium parvum, a disease-causing parasite, which has made headlines in several U.S. cities over the years. The ICR also requires testing for viruses and Giardia Lamblia, another parasite capable of causing gastrointestinal disease. The testing effort is part of a national initiative that includes about 300 community water systems that use surface water, from lakes or rivers, and provide water to more than 100,000 people.
In Minnesota, only Minneapolis and Saint Paul are part of the testing initiative. However, despite recent improvements, current tests for Cryptosporidium in water still aren't completely reliable. For example, if the parasite is present in the water only intermittently, a test taken at the wrong time could miss it and give people a false sense of security. Also, if the parasite is found, there is no way to tell if the organisms are viable and capable of causing disease. Moreover, it is not known at what level of contamination the organism is capable of causing illness. Thus, if Cryptosporidium is found, each situation must be assessed individually.
The testing done according to EPA guidelines, is an effort to identify the safest and most effective techniques for removing potential disease-causing contaminants from the water delivered to customers. It will help the EPA determine the optimal mix of filtration technologies and chemical disinfection methods.
SPRWS Efforts
Routine chemical disinfection methods like chlorination will not destroy Cryptosporidium, but effective filtration systems can greatly reduce the risk that people will be exposed to the parasite.
Saint Paul Regional Water Services has taken steps to ensure that its treatment and filtration system is operating at maximum effectiveness at all times. The utility is currently using the best available filtration technology as part of the water treatment process. Moreover, the utility has greatly improved the pretreatment process in the raw water reservoirs as well as the treatment process prior to the filtration step.

The Gunners boss has insisted the France international is not just a 'plan B' despite not starting a Premier League match this season
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger expressed his support for Olivier Giroud and emphasised the striker is not considered a back-up option at Emirates Stadium.
Ozil goal ranks among the all-time greats
The France international made 26 Premier League starts in 2015-16, but has yet to feature from the off in the league this campaign, which has been hindered by a toe injury.
In his absence, Alexis Sanchez has been moved into the central striking role and has flourished, netting eight goals in 14 matches across all competitions.
Giroud came off the bench to strike twice in a 4-1 rout of Sunderland on Saturday, before starting and scoring against Ludogorets in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Despite his reduced role this season, Giroud is not thought of as second choice by Wenger.
"There is no plan B in any squad, I never thought about my players like that," Wenger said in his media conference ahead of Sunday's north London derby at home to Tottenham.
"The team who is the most effective for the next game, that's what you pick and I consider everyone as a regular player. That is basically what a manager thinks, what is [best] for the next game.
"If he is involved in the next game in your mind, he plays. If not then he doesn't start. He has shown he is a huge asset for the club and I have always supported him."
Aaron Ramsey's return from a hamstring injury has seen the Wales international take up a wide role rather than a central position, but Wenger says that is not set in stone.
"No, again I just consider the next game and try to find the balance with the players to be in a position where they can give their best for the team," the Frenchman said.
"Aaron Ramsey has come back from 11 weeks injury you know, he has to come back, you do not come back by magic. It takes time but he can bring us his strengths in every single position – wide or central.
Why did Dortmund suspend Aubameyang?
"He prefers to play central, to be central, and I can understand that. But when he plays wide he has enough freedom to be central as well.
"You know of course I speak with all of the players about their performances, about their positions. Most of the time I think you want the players to be happy and to play in their best position."

Awesome!! Been wearing my jacket/pants a fair amount recently.ReplyDelete
So, three questions:
Do you wear shorts under the shorts?
Do you wear underwear under the shorts?
Do you encounter "heating" issues when wearing the shorts?
In other words, just trying to find out your approach to wearing them and if you are wearing them full time, the laying method you use.
I wear the pants and often times find my lower legs getting hot and sweaty... the whole idea of wearing shorts that are waterproof is rather appealing to me. But, heating and layering seem like they could be an issue with the low breathability factor of the WPBCF.
Hi John - Been AWL for a week or two - To answer your questions:Delete
1. If I am on the trail and it starts to rain, I will slip them over my shorts, but my preference is to wear them "as" shorts. So if it is a wet hiking day ahead I will do the latter.
2. Yes, going "commando" like my hiking friend Lee has no comfort for me. Because I can keep my undies dry, I wear them - Macpac Merino
3. No heating issues yet, but temps in NZ in inclement WX are not that hot. However, I do find they do tend to "cling" to the leg at the opening - ie don't slide on the top of the thighs like my shorts, but they do have a "slip" band sewn on the inside heam.
Cheers Rob
Yes Awesome weights there.ReplyDelete

- StorageCraft Shadow Copy Provider
- ShadowProtect Service
Stop the StorageCraft ImageReady service. Then, right-click the service and go to Properties. Change the Startup Type to Manual.
Open task manager, and end the processes of any instances of the following services:
- raw_agent_svc.exe
- ShadowProtect.exe
- ShadowProtectSvc.exe
- vsnapvss.exe
Restart the services through the services.msc console.
Check Network Settings
Ensure that all Local/Edge hardware or software has the proper exceptions configured. Depending on the software/hardware, you will need the following information:
- Website: activate.storagecraft.com
- IP address: 126.96.36.199
- Local Service: ShadowProtectSvc.exe

Proxycfg.exe: Proxycfg.exe
Netsh.exe: Netsh winhttp show proxy(with Vista / Server 2008 or newer)
Reset the proxy to "Direct," which will delete any entries listed.
Proxycfg.exe: Proxycfg.exe –d
Netsh.exe: Netsh winhttp reset proxy(with Vista / Server 2008 or newer)
Check the Windows Firewall or any Antivirus to make sure exceptions exist for the ShadowSnap application to access ports TCP 25566, TCP / UDP 445, and TCP / UDP 139.
Check the License Status
Open the StorageCraft ShadowProtect program and check the license status:
Figure 1: An active license
The license should read as Active.
- If the license shows expired, follow the steps in the Repair Agent Communications section of this article to re-pair the agent with your Datto appliance. The ShadowProtect software will automatically attempt to reprovision its license during this process.
- If it is disconnected, retry the steps for restarting the services for ShadowProtect and ShadowSnap. Ensure that the ShadowProtect software is 5.0.x.
Check for Job Already in Progress
The agent may think a backup job is already running. To resolve this, rename the database where the job state is residing:
- Open services.msc, and stop the StorageCraft Raw Agent service.
- Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\StorageCraft\ShadowProtect\ShadowSnap.
- Find the endptconfig.sqlite3 file and append .old to the end of the filename.
- Restart the StorageCraft Raw Agent service.
- Repair agent communications on the device, and attempt another backup job.
Verify Agent Settings
The following troubleshooting steps involve modifying the agent settings on the Datto appliance. To navigate to an agent's settings:
1. Access the Datto appliance's GUI.
2. Click the Protect tab.

Ensure certificates are up to date
- Ensure agent certificates are up to date. See SIRIS, ALTO, and NAS: Root certificate expiration for details.
Verifying Excluded Volumes
If you have excluded all volumes in Volume Level Backup Control, the backup will fail. Verify that at least one volume is active.
Figure 5: Volume Level Backup Control (click to enlarge)
If you have attempted all troubleshooting steps described in this article and are still experiencing backup failures, please contact Datto Technical Support for further assistance.
Verify you are backing up to only one Datto appliance
Datto does not recommend protecting the same production system on more than one Datto appliance. Even with different scheduled backup times, information is stored in the same location on the protected server with the same naming schemes, and each device will overwrite the others' changes. Backing up to multiple Datto devices can cause the following problems:
- Intermittent "Backup failed due to a problem establishing secure communications with the agent,"
- Intermittent "Backup failed because the agent was unable to initiate the backup job"
- Constant full backups or differential merges at random intervals.
- VSS writer errors
If you have attempted all troubleshooting steps described in this article and are still experiencing backup failures, contact Datto Technical Support for further assistance.

Dead Horses and Excuses
July 1, 2007
Luke 9:51-62 / Galatians 5:1, 13-18
Nine young marines received a weekend pass after their first month of boot camp. Because the camp was in a rural part of Georgia, they all needed to take the bus to the nearest city, which was some thirty miles away. On Monday morning at roll call, none of the nine were present as they should have been. About mid-morning the first marine straggled back into camp and was immediately brought to the Commander.
"I'm sorry to be late, Sir," he said. "But I was on a date and I lost track of time and because of that I missed the last bus back to camp. I knew I needed to be here so I hailed a cab. But about halfway back the cab broke down. So I went to the nearest farmhouse and borrowed a horse. But after a few miles the horse lay down and died. So I walked the last five miles on foot. But here I am."
Now the Commander was highly suspicious of this involved story. But the cadet was young, and this was his first offense. So he gave him a lecture on the importance of punctuality and sent him back to training. But throughout the day the Commander's suspicion grew even more intense, because the next seven marines who returned all told him the exact same story. About sundown the ninth marine came into camp and was brought before the Commander. He started like all the rest.
"I was on a date . . . lost track of time . . . missed the bus . . . hailed a cab . . ."
"Wait a minute," said the Commander. "You're not going to tell me that that cab broke down are you?"
"Not at all, Sir," he said. "The cab was fine. But it was unable to get through all the dead horses on the road."
Our excuses are like dead horses on the road to life. They prevent us from moving forward to the place where God wants us to be. This truth explains Jesus' peculiar remarks in today's gospel. In the gospel Jesus is unwilling to accept any excuse: not going home to bury your father; not saying farewell to your family. No excuse is acceptable. Now we could be distracted by debating the reasonableness of Jesus' stance. But this is not the point of the gospel. The gospel challenges us to admit that our excuses hold us back from the place God wants us to be.
Most of the time, we know exactly what we need to do. We understand to what God is calling us. But then the excuses begin. "I'm not ready yet." "I'm too tired." "I'm not worthy." "I'm too afraid." Those excuses, much like those in the gospel, might well seem reasonable. But they are nevertheless preventing us from moving forward. If we build our life around excuses, we will end up going nowhere.
So how do we move beyond excuses? Not on our own. It takes more than our effort to convince us that we are ready, that we are not too tired, that we are worthy, that we are no longer afraid. The only way we can move through and beyond our excuses is to turn to Christ and ask for help. The way forward is not by depending more on ourselves, but trusting in the God who loves us.
Saint Paul says it beautifully in today's second reading. "For freedom, Christ has set you free." Paul is telling us that God loves us. If we claim that love, if we believe that God is with us, we can find the freedom to move through our excuses. We can be freed from our weakness, from our lethargy, from our unworthiness, from our fear. With Christ's help we can find the courage to speak the truth to our spouse or to our boss. We can find the energy to meet our responsibilities. We can build God's Kingdom. With Christ's grace we can begin, even though we are not sure how we will finish. We can minister to others, even when we know that we are far from perfect.
Today, Christ is calling us to himself. He asks us to move forward to deeper satisfaction and a fuller life. We can always come up with reasons not to move, to stay exactly where we are. That is why we need to believe in God's love and let that love free us. Let us then claim God's presence in our life. Let us believe in God's love for us so that through that love we can find the freedom to do God's will—without excuses.
The Plow Keeps Moving
June 27, 2010
Luke 9:51-62
Not many of us here are farmers. The few of us who do some farming do so in a way that is very different from farming in the first century. In Galilee at the time of Jesus, the hills were covered with many small farms, and Jesus uses his observation of farming techniques in his teaching. This is why we have so many agricultural images in the New Testament: the parable of the sower, the parable of the mustard seed, the parable of the weeds and the wheat. Jesus is always talking about planting and watering and harvesting. In today's gospel he uses the image of plowing. Now most of us who have seen old movies understand how plowing used to work. The plow was connected to a horse or a cow, which pulled it forward. The purpose of the plow was to turn over the hardened earth so that seed could be planted in the newly broken soil. The farmer needed to be attentive, because he directed the plow, and the straighter and the closer the rows were to one another, the more productive the field would be. If the farmer took his eye off the plow, if he looked back to the rows that had already been turned over, his work would suffer.
Knowing this, Jesus uses the example of plowing to talk about discipleship. He says, "Whoever puts a hand to the plow and looks back is not fit for the kingdom of God." What Jesus is telling us is that, as his disciples, we must not look back at past mistakes or failures. Jesus says this because he knows that looking back will not only distract us, but possibly harm us. If we keep looking back to the past, we can damage our present work and our future. Just as a farmer who keeps looking back on the row he has just plowed endangers the straightness and the usefulness of the row he is plowing, Jesus knows that if we look back, worrying about the past, it can lessen our service.
We all have to admit that it is difficult not to look back, because our past mistakes and failures follow us. We regret previous relationships, perhaps even previous marriages that came to an end. We wish that we had one more chance to follow an opportunity that slipped through our fingers. We feel guilty about the way that we have hurt people or the things that we have said or the responsibilities that we have ignored. So we keep looking back, picking on the scabs of old mistakes, looking and lamenting over the failures that still haunt us.
Jesus tells us that this is no way to enter the kingdom of God. Because the good news is this: the plow is still moving forward, and it needs our attention. We cannot direct it, if we are looking backwards. We must face forward and guide it. Perhaps you realize now that you should have done some things differently when you raised your children. You can see the harm that still exists in the mistakes that you made. Okay. But don't look back. Give your attention to sharing your wisdom and love with your grandchildren and with others in your life today. Perhaps you realize how you have harmed others through selfishness or the abuse of alcohol or drugs. Okay. But don't look back. Recommit yourself to live in such a way that you foster generosity and sobriety. Perhaps you keep lamenting and wish that you had one more chance to make a relationship work, to take a job that was offered. Okay. But don't look back. Give your attention to loving and working to the best of your abilities today.
The plow is moving forward. It continues to turn over new earth and new opportunities. Our life is to be found in those new possibilities. Looking back will only distract us.Give attention to the new earth that is being overturned today. It is there that you will find God's love and your joy. That is why anyone who looks back is not fit for the kingdom of God.
Being Wishy or Washy
June 30, 2013
Luke 9:51-62
Charles Schulz created a television special for the beginning of the New Year. It was called Happy New Year Charlie Brown! In that program Charlie Brown says to Lucy, "This year I am going to become a changed person!"
"That's ridiculous," said Lucy, "you'll be nothing of the kind."
"No, I mean it," says Charlie Brown. "This year I am going to be strong and firm."
"Forget it," said Lucy, "you will always be wishy-washy."
Charlie Brown thought for a moment then he said, "I see your point but maybe I could change just a little. Maybe I could be wishy one day and washy the next."
Being wishy one day and washy the next is not really changing at all. It's a word game to excuse ourselves from the challenge of acting. It is a diversion by which we exempt ourselves from the necessity of changing. We can become rather good at words games. We can convince ourselves that we can have it all. We can do everything. We don't need to say no. We never need to put our foot down and say, "Stop, this has to end."
To think this way is an illusion because not all things in life are of equal importance. The secret to a full life is learning to say "yes" to those things that are important and "no" to those things that are not. This is what Jesus is trying to tell us in today's gospel, and he uses dramatic language to make his point that there must be priorities.
Now of course we should bury our father. We should say farewell to those at home when we leave. But Jesus tells us we shouldn't do any of those things because he wants to make the point that if it came to a choice between burying our father, saying goodbye, or doing God's will, we would have to choose God's will. God's will is of the utmost importance. In a world where not everything is equal, God's will is the top priority.
So Jesus' words are important because they remind us that we need to commit ourselves to the things that are most important and be willing to say no to whatever hinders that commitment.
Sometimes we think, "You know, I have plenty of time to play golf, to surf the internet, to watch television, to cater to my hobbies and none of these things will impact my relationship with my spouse." But when we see our relationship to our spouse begin to falter, it is no time to enter delusion. We need to act and say no to those things that are taking up our time so that the relationship that is most important can deepen and grow.
We can say to ourselves, "You know, I can eat and drink whatever I want, I can use drugs recreationally, and these things will not harm my life." But when we begin to realize that we are losing focus and effectiveness, it is no time to be idle. We need to act and say no to those habits that are hindering our life so that we can continue to live.
We might say to ourselves, "You know I have so many good relationships, so many strong friendships. I don't need to worry about that person who hurt me and whom I cannot forgive." But when we begin to see that lack of forgiveness grinding us down and coloring our life with anger, it is no time to play games. We then need to give forgiveness the highest priority so we can regain freedom and joy.
Giving ourselves to lesser things will not bring us lasting joy. The fullness of life comes when we nurture and protect those things that are most important. So when we begin to lose sense of God's will for us, when life begins to slip, it is no time to be wishy-washy. It is time to say no to those things that hinder us so that we can say yes to life.
The Call to Follow
June 26, 2016
Luke 9:51-62
As a teacher Jesus occasionally exaggerates to get his audience's attention. He certainly is doing this today in the gospel. Jesus does not tell us not to bury our parents or to refrain from bidding farewell to our families. He uses these extreme commands to drive home the point that following him is not a casual commitment. As disciples, Jesus expects us to change the way that we live. He calls us to adjust our lives for the sake of the gospel, to act in a way that others see a witness to our connection to him. Jesus wants our time and our loyalty. He wants us to act in a way that others see that we belong to him. Giving such witness has power.
We certainly saw this this week as our city celebrated the Cavaliers' NBA championship. Over a million people changed their schedules, canceled appointments, took off from work, got up early, and stood in the sun for hours because they wanted others to see the joy that they felt about what happened to our city. It wasn't easy. It took effort. But people did it because they wanted other people to notice that what had happened to them was important, that it mattered.
Jesus challenges us to act in a way that others see that our connection to him matters. When we come to church, Jesus challenges us not simply to sit and daydream but to listen to the word that applies to our lives, to join in the prayer of the assembly, to open our mouths and sing. And if we say, "Well, I have so much on my mind. It is so difficult to focus. I really don't have a good voice," Jesus says, "Follow me." When someone is struggling with a sickness or a heavy burden, Jesus challenges us to be his presence to that person, to reach out and try to help. And if we say, "I really don't know that person that well. I am shy or introverted," Jesus says, "Follow me." When we recognize what is going on in our country, when we hear words that use fear and hatred to manipulate others, or when self interest is exalted instead of service, Jesus challenges us to speak out his message. His message is generosity, community, and justice. And if we say, "I am not that involved in politics. I don't want to get involved. No one will listen anyway," Jesus says, "Follow me."
The most important thing we know about God is that God's love for us is boundless. That is why Jesus asks us not to place limits on our willingness to announce that love to others. Jesus wants us as his disciples. So let us put comfort and fear aside and follow him.

London Markets Join Forces in Dumping Crack Down
December 15, 2006
London's three horticultural wholesale markets have joined forces to reduce still further the dumping of unsaleable produce on their markets. With the cost of landfill increasing the three markets decided to tackle the problem at source by imposing hefty fines on anyone dumping produce on their markets. All three markets have imposed a £500 fine for dumping produce this will be reduced to between £50 and £70 if the produce is taken directly to the market recycling compound. The money generated by these fines will help fund a research project looking at ways of improving waste management for the three markets. Bob Marlow, General Manager Western International Market explained: "The waste charges and fines have the full support of our tenants and we have been operating this system for a few months and there has been a marked reduction of product dumped. We know that charges and green taxes for waste are going to increase so we need to take action now to help keep the financial burden on our tenants to a minimum'. "Tenant co-operation is the key in tacking waste reduction and recycling.' said Ken Alexander, Superintendent New Spitalfields. 'Separating waste at the point it becomes waste can help increase the volumes going to recycling and ensure that recycling is cost effective. Through joint efforts between the tenants and the market operators, plus some limited investment in equipment, we have all seen increases in the volumes of waste cardboard that is being recycled. We also send waste produce either for animal feed or composting." Jan Lloyd from NCGM added: " We are keen to raise the quality perception of the produce available – not only is there a much wider range of produce available than in the supermarkets but it is of increasingly high quality, as demands from Food Service continue to raise standards. Large scale dumping of poor grade produce is a thing of the past and we want to keep it that way" As well as presenting a united front to cut down on dumping, the three markets have formed a joint working group to look at other initiatives aimed at reducing costs and increasing the amount of waste that they can recycle. By working together the markets are able to benchmark their current operations as well as assess the new technologies available. With costs for waste management increasing the three markets are determined to tackle the issue at source and to present a united front by saying: 'Don't Dump on us' Contacts: Helen Evans, Covent Garden Market Authority T 020 7501 3487 E email@example.com Bob Marlow, Western International Market E email@example.com Ken Alexander, New Spitalfields Market T 0208 518 7670 E email@example.com Note to Editors: The three markets together generate some 520 tonnes a month of organic waste which goes to animal feed or composting and around 240 tonnes a month of cardboard for recycling.

LG is having a spectacular week. Not only did Google announce that it had teamed up again with the South Korean manufacturer to produce the Nexus 5X, but LG managed to get in a few of its own device launches, too.
The LG V10 and revamped Watch Urbane were quietly announced last night in Seoul. One is an Android-powered smartphone with dual front cameras and a second screen, while the other is the company's first cellular-enabled Android Wear smartwatch.
A phone made "with creativity in mind"
The LG V10 is a slightly different product for LG. On the inside, it's like any other Android-powered smartphone: it features a Snapdragon 808 processor, 5.7-inch QuadHD display, 4GB of RAM, and a 3,000 mAh battery pack. But it also boasts some extra hardware and software features that are firsts for LG.
First off is the Second Screen, which is exactly as it sounds: an inset display that rests above the main 5.7-inch display. It can be set up to display information like the weather, time, and battery life, or, when the main screen is on, it can serve as a launcher for your favorite apps. It can also be used as a discrete area for notifications when you're in a full-screen application, so that whatever you're doing on the main screen isn't interrupted to notify you of a missed call from Mom, for instance.
The V10 also features dual front cameras. Rather than equip the phone with a wide-angle lens, the V10 features two 5-megapixel front-facing cameras that can capture a standard 80-degree selfie or a 120-degree one. LG adds that the V10 "employs a sophisticated software algorithm to combine images from the two separate lenses, which are just far enough apart to provide two different pints of view." The two front-facing cameras can also be used to record video in multi-view.
Lastly, the V10 offers complete manual video controls. You can adjust the shutter speed, frame rate, ISO, white balance, and focus while you're recording video. LG was one of the first smartphone-makers to offer manual settings for still photos on the G4, though there's no word if the manual video controls will come as a software update to its flagship release.
A smartwatch that can stand on its own
The LG Watch Urbane Second Edition is the second iteration of the Watch Urbane, and the first Android Wear watch to offer standalone cellular connectivity. You can connect the watch via 4G, 3G, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
Inside, it has all the standard makings of an Android Wear smartwatch: a 1.38-inch P-OLED display, a Snapdragon 400 processor, and 4GB of onboard storage, for music and things. However, LG bumped up the RAM to 768MB, which should help the smartwatch a bit with performance. The battery pack has also been increased to 570mAh, no doubt because of the cellular connectivity.
Both devices will be available in the US and Korea very soon. We'll be going hands-on with both products later today, so stay tuned!
This story, "LG reveals dual-screen V10 phone and first-ever Android Wear watch with LTE" was originally published by Greenbot.

What does CP/M mean?
- CP/M was a mass-market operating system created for Intel 8080/85 based microcomputers by Gary Kildall of Digital Research, Inc. Initially confined to single-tasking on 8-bit processors and no more than 64 kilobytes of memory, later versions of CP/M added multi-user variations, and were migrated to 16-bit processors. The combination of CP/M and S-100 bus computers loosely patterned on the MITS Altair was an early "industry standard" for microcomputers, and this computer platform was widely used in business through the late 1970s and into the mid-1980s, expanding to include 16-bit CPUs and multiuser capability. By greatly reducing the amount of programming required to install an application on a new manufacturer's computer, CP/M increased the market size for both hardware and software. The acronym CP/M for "Control Program/Monitor" was later backronymed "Control Program for Microcomputers".

Your cable modem is about to get speedier. A new report suggests that cable providers have figured out a way to resequence the data traveling through their network to increase available throughput to speeds rivaling the fiber connections to homes that are already being rolled out.
Where's all this new space coming from, a wise geek may ask? The soon-to-be-abandoned analog television spectrum. You see, now that we're on the cusp of all cable delivery being digital, that spectrum is idling uselessly. Sure, there are still a few analog customers out there, but our bet is many of them are stealing cable, old-school style, so the Coxes and Comcasts of America wouldn't think twice about discontinuing the service.
This is great news for those of us who are waiting for better compression rates and larger frame sizes for our HDTV, and want to be able to download our porn at the speed of light.

Eventually Daisy cozied upon a beach towel to watch the action and moat building. Lucy sat sweetly in the stroller watching the sun and waves. Annie ran back and forth between brothers. After the beach was when the too much hit. We had to make it home, get showered off, eat dinner and get to Mickey and Johns baseball game.
We made it home and everyone did a relay race in the showers. I had the first clean one out entertain Lucy whle I washed hair in the tub with the youngest. I had a bean soup in the crockpot thankfully, so I served that withcheese quesadillas. Then everyone piled back into the car, new water bottles, sand toys out, clean clothes on and we drove to the game. We got there 2 minutes to game time, not the best not the worst. The children did a nice job playing games in the shade to pass the time, I spent minimal money as Freezies were 2 for .25c, best deal in town!
|Daisy & Mom at the Beach
|John & Annie enjoy a summer treat
Daddy made it home after 10 pm, they will all be excited tntell him about our busy day in the morning. I think 2 activities in a day is best, but I do love all the fun mini adventures, like the shower relays and fun stories in the car, that happen in the middle of a busy day.

- Social
This Event:
- Is LGBTQ-run
- May be of interest to the LGBTQ community
This summer, MGV is excited to inaugurate outdoor sand volleyball on FIVE Nightclub, just off Fish Hatchery Drive, at 5 Applegate Court. We'll have two brand new courts alongside FIVE's outdoor patio – a fantastic setting for a summer of great volleyball and fun with friends. MGV will have the courts reserved three days each week. Our Power 4s Division will play on Thursdays from approximately 6:30 to 10:00; our Intermediate and Rec divisions will play on Tuesday nights, again from about 6:30 to 10:00; and, on Sundays the courts will be available for open social play, with times to be determined. Regular season play starts the week of May 19, but the courts will be available for social play the week before.
To help you choose the best division, the league has prepared the following summaries:
• Rec Division – Our Rec League is for players new to the game or those looking for a fun experience with less emphasis on tough competition. Having fun is the biggest priority in this division, and socializing trumps winning. Teams will play with six players and can roster up to 8.
• Intermediate Division- Our Intermediate Division is for players with solid but not exceptional skills. Consistent control and accuracy is expected, as is a basic understanding of the different offenses and court movement. Intermediate teams will field teams of six with rosters not to exceed 8 players total.
• Power Division – Our Power Division is for our most advanced players. Players are expected to have exceptionally strong ball control and accuracy and to understand the workings of various offenses. Power Division players typically have extensive playing experience in both leagues and tournaments. This summer the Power Division will be playing four on the court with no more than five rostered players per team.

Really getting on my nerves that I think I am Posting on this site and somehow it keeps ending up on that other Wierd site that I never used til recently. And that was a total accident. So I am posting this again. Sigh.
Since I have been sick I have sat in the living room a lot more. My dog honey is much more visible there so she's getting drawn. She hangs out in the window or sprawls on the rug.
When we sit in the Den shes usually in her big comfy bed behind the sofa.
These were drawn with my Boodler Creaper ahab, carbon platinum black ink In a superaquabee tablet.
I stated this page with the middle dog. And it did not go well as you can see. So I thought papers messed up keep drawing and got the really good head on the right. The one on the left is good too except for The mess in the middle.
I am Posting this to show even if you can draw things just go wrong sometimes.
Keep sketching.
Thanks for reading

If you've resisted upgrading your phone yet this year you could be in for a treat, as the flagship Huawei Mate 10 Pro is hitting stores on November...Read More
The Huawei P30 – along with the Huawei P30 Pro – is the main 2019 flagship from the company and it has a lot going for it, starting with its brilliant camera.
You get three lenses on the back – a 40MP f/1.8 main lens, a 16MP f/2.2 ultra-wide one and an 8MP f/2.4 telephoto one. And the main sensor doesn't just have a high megapixel count, it also uses RYYB rather than RGGB, which allows it to take in more light and colour information than most comparable lenses. So it's super versatile and also great for night shots – an area which many phones struggle with.
The Huawei P30 also has a 32MP camera on the front, which makes it one of the best phones around for selfies.
Your window on to all this is a 6.1-inch 1080 x 2340 OLED screen, capable of delivering crisp, vibrant visuals with hardly any distractions, as there's just a tiny notch at the top and a slim bezel at the bottom.
In fact, the whole design is top-class, as the Huawei P30 also has a metal frame and a glass back, the latter of which can be bought in a gradient colour scheme that changes depending on the direction of the light hitting it.
The phone also has an in-screen fingerprint scanner and there's plenty of power thanks to 6GB of RAM and an octa-core Kirin 980 chipset. That's Huawei's most powerful chipset at the time of writing, it's backed up by AI, and its cores are clocked at up to 2.6GHz.
Rounding out the specs there's a healthy 3,650mAh battery with fast charging, 128GB of expandable storage, and Android 9 Pie, making this a phone that should easily be able to compete with the rest of 2019's flagships.
Dimensions (mm): 149.1 x 71.4 x 7.6
Weight (g): 165
Battery capacity (mAh): 3650
Colours: Aurora, Breathing Crystal, Black
Screen size (inches): 6.1
Resolution: 1080 x 2340
Pixels per inch (PPI): 422
Processor: Octa-core

London 2017: Farah finishes with 5,000m silver
PUBLISHED: 20:52 12 August 2017 | UPDATED: 20:52 12 August 2017
PA Wire/PA Images
Sir Mo Farah ended his glorious track career with a silver medal in the 5,000 metres at the World Championships at London Stadium.
The four-time Olympic champion, having won his third world 10,000m title eight days earlier, saw his hopes of an 11th global title and golden swansong shattered by Ethiopia's Muktar Edris in a typically thrilling finish.
Farah was welcomed to the start line by another roar from the London Stadium crowd and urged them to keep going with a wave of the hand in the opening paces.
Paul Chelimo tried to stretch things out in the early stages of the race, while Ethiopia's Selemon Barega and Patrick Tiernan, of Australia, took it in turns to pick up the pace midway through.
Andy Butchart then raced to the front alongside Farah briefly on the penultimate lap, as Yomif Kejelcha and Edris took over at the bell.
Farah was under immense pressure on the back straight as the Ethiopian duo tried to hold him off, with Chelimo also coming through in the final straight.
The 34-year-old Farah was momentarily demoted to fourth place but as Edris held on for a momentous victory in 13.32.79, he dug as deep as he could to pip Chelimo on the line and finish with silver in 13.33.22, before he was left on the track exhausted and heartbroken.
Farah embraced his family and then took a lap of honour to soak up the adulation of his home crowd, but as with his great friend and fellow legend Usain Bolt, he was denied the win he so desperately wanted in his last individual outing.
But when he starts his career as a marathon runner, Farah will be able to reflect on having created an amazing legacy with his four Olympic and six World Championship gold medals.
Quite simply, Farah will go down in history as Britain's best-ever athlete and one of the greatest the world has ever witnessed.

Supporting the arts, locally
I would urge you to buy something from a guy named Sean Maroney. His website is here. I only say this because the first line of his bio reads:
I am a 25 years old artist from Montclair, NJ. My influences include everything from Jackson Pollock, Vincent Van Gogh, and Andy Warhol to Shepard Fairey and Geoffrey Raymond.Which really makes me smile. I don't think I know the guy, and I'm not sure how my work has influenced him, but you should buy something anyway.

Unidentified gunmen killed seven members of a family in a pre-dawn attack on Friday in Pakistan's troubled northwest, where killing on personal vendettas is common, police said.
The dead included two brothers, a sister, her nine-year-old son and three cousins, police said. Five other members of the family were wounded and taken for medical treatment at a local hospital.
"Five of the family members died on spot and two in the hospital," Fazal Mohammad, a local police official in the village of Yar Hussain where the attack took place told Agence France Presse.
Yar Hussain is some 120 kilometers northeast of Peshawar, the region's main city.
The family said they had no enmity but police suspected the incident was the result of an "internal family dispute".
"We are investigating it but apparently it looks like an incident of internal family dispute," Mohammad said, adding that "The village has no past history of militancy."
Police said the assailants armed with assault rifles opened fire at the 12 members of the family who were traveling in a coach to see off one of the family at Peshawar airport.
"The attackers managed to flee in the dark," said Mohammad Sajjad Khan, a senior police officer in Swabi district which includes Yar Hussain, adding that police had launched a search operation but no one had been arrested yet.

Lesson # 844 from the Noble Quran
No fear and no grief for Believers on Doomsday
Surah 'A'-RAAF (The Heights) – Chapter – 7)
Stage – 2, Verses – 35 & 36 of 206, Section – 4 of 24 (Part – 8)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
| 35. O Children of Adam! When Messengers of your own come unto you who narrate unto you My Revelations, then whosoever refraineth from evil and amendeth – there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.
36. But they who deny Our Revelations and scorn them – such are rightful owners of the Fire; they will abide therein forever.
| 35. yaa-Baniii-Aadama 'immaa ya'-ti-yannakum Rusulum-minkum yaqus-suuna 'alay-kum 'AayaaTii, famanit-taqaa wa 'aslaha falaa khaw-fun 'alayhim wa laa hum yahzanuun.
36. walla-ziina kazzabuu bi- 'AayaatiNaa wastak-baruu 'an-haaa 'ulaaa-'ika 'As-haabun-Naar. Hum fiihaa khaaliduun.
'Immaa – (If), actually, there are two words – 'inna and maa, 'Inna is a word "conditional", which means "if". The word "Maa" has been increased with it and "n" of 'inna has been concealed in "m" of maa.
'It-taqaa – (refrain from evil, frightened), it is past tense and its origin is 'ittaqaaa-'un, which has been derived from Taqwaa, it means – safety, escape. 'Ittaqaaa-'un means "refraining from evil due to any fear, so it aims "fear of God".
'Astak-baruu – (scorn, was proud, did arrogance), origin of this word is 'istikbaar, which is from the word kibar. Kibar means – grandeur, pride, greatness. 'Istikbaar means – haughtiness, vainglory etc. i.e. to consider oneself great. The object from these verses – "considering oneself great" is that "turning face from someone by saying that he/she is not worthy of our status as, some people use to say: What are you causing to know us? We are not child. Those people, who do so, they do arrogance from the advice.
It was pointed out in the previous verse that a prescribed term is given to every nation that it should carry its people on the right path, so that they may not tyrannize one another. But it has been described in this verse that Children of Adam (peace be upon Him) are one nation.
It aims that it is a mutual duty of the entire individuals that they should look after all other persons. Every individual has been admonished that he/she must refrain from evil, fear from God Almighty and try to correct themselves every time.
Allah Almighty commands: O Children of Adam! We have arranged for your guidance in the world. For this purpose, My Messengers (peace be upon Them), who will be mankind like you, will come unto you. You should obey Them. They will instruct you for two things:
- Refrain from evil and fear from God. Its name is Taqwaa.
- Do good works. It is called "to correct and amend oneself".
They will cause to hear you My Revelations. Those individuals, who will follow the Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon Them), they will be saved themselves as well as they will save their nation too from disgrace and ignominy, but those, who will not obey Them (Messengers – peace be upon Them), their abode will be Fire of Hell on the Day of Resurrection.

I have seen a lot of articles delivering tips on how to generate leads on social media, so I wanted to proceed a bit differently.
In this article, I will tell you about the 2 best tips to sell on social media and to spice things up, I asked a little help from a friend I grew up with, Mr Bean, marvelously embodied by Rowan Atkinson. Expect a few GIFs!
Hello you cheeky!
So let's go: how can you generate leads on social media?
Also Read: Sell Stuff Directly in Facebook Groups
We are well into 2015 yet it is extremely easy to find company profiles trying to sell their product the hard way on social media. You know, that "Click here to buy our awesome product" or "Don't miss our latest product!". Facepalm.
But good folks like you guys know this is leading nowhere. If you do consider social media as another advertising layer, it can actually lead to a negative outcome – on social media, you're better off with no presence at all than having an account just for the sake of it. Having a shiny website is not enough anymore as pleased and unhappy customers alike are increasingly turning to social, and you don't want to disappoint them.
You or your company is on social media to generate leads, though a good round of thoughts is needed to do it the right way and you need to remember one thing:
Social Media Is NOT Designed For Businesses, So Provide Value…
Social media is designed for people! This is the thing you always need to bear in mind. Users are on social media because it is a convenient way to keep up with their friends and everything that really matters to them, and you're battling with content from people they love. Can your content live up to that?

Hopefully your business does matter to them but if not, your job is to be awesome so you win your spot as your fans' favourite. To do so, provide value in one way or another…
Be sure to know what you're doing!
… And Build Trust!
The best way to generate leads and make social media work with your bottom line is to build trust. With your social media marketing, show that you are a trustworthy business, listening and understanding its customers while being innovative and creative at the same time.
Playing the fool on social media won't serve your business goals.
Your online accounts do mirror your business, that's why having a sharp presence is crucial. Increasingly, people will be picturing how good you are following the image you send out on social media. Long gone are the days when people waited to walk in your shop to start experiencing with what your business is offering.
Gaining your followers' trust isn't exactly easy, as there is a lot of noise out there and your competitors are probably trying to do just the same.
To build trust, be sure you and your fans speak the same language!
Social media will rarely allow you to sell directly, even with the "Buy" buttons popping up, but it gives you the fantastic chance to talk to people and establish yourself as a reliable source. Trying to sell, sell and sell will not be rewarded. Focus on being trustworthy and providing value. The rest will come naturally.
