Google employees will be steering clear of Windows and using Mac OS or Linux as the company phases out use of Microsoft's ubiquitous operating system, the Financial Times reports.
The move comes after this winter's cyber attacks from China, which Google publicized by stopping Web-search censorship in the world's largest Internet market. Google has said the attacks, which also affected at least a dozen other large U.S. companies, were aided by a vulnerability in Internet Explorer 6 – and, considering it's on at least 90 percent of the world's computers, Windows.
"We're not doing any more Windows. It is a security effort," one Google employee told FT.
"Linux is open source and we feel good about it," said another. "Microsoft we don't feel so good about."
Of course, eventually this day would come. As Google prepares its own desktop operating system, Chrome OS, odds are that at some point the company would start shifting things that way. One Google employee told the Financial Times that the goal is to eventually migrate the company's 10,000 or so employees to all-Google products.
Chrome OS, however, would be a different approach to the operating system. It essentially would be a Web browser that includes OS necessities such as file storage, peripherals support and security.
Security, according to Google, is where Windows falls short – precisely because it's so popular. It's the most at-risk operating system for cyber attacks. From the Financial Times:
Employees wanting to stay on Windows required clearance from "quite senior levels", one employee said. "Getting a new Windows machine now requires CIO approval," said another employee.
In addition to being a semi-formal policy, employees themselves have grown more concerned about security since the China attacks. "Particularly since the China scare, a lot of people here are using Macs for security," said one employee.
Asked for comment, Google told seattlepi.com only: "We're always working to improve the efficiency of our business, but we don't comment on specific operational matters."

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott and Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, Office of the Attorney General, and Solicitor Donald V. Myers, all of Columbia; for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Darrell Barr was convicted of first-degree burglary, murder, first-degree criminal sexual conduct, and kidnapping. Barr appeals, arguing his guilty plea should be invalidated because it appears he entered the plea to escape the death penalty.[1] Barr did not file a separate pro se brief. After a thorough review of the record and counsel's brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and State v. Williams, 305 S.C. 116, 406 S.E.2d 357 (1991), we dismiss[2] Barr's appeal and grant counsel's petition to be relieved.
HEARN, C.J., CURETON and GOOLSBY, A.J.J. concur.
[1] Barr is mentally retarded and therefore ineligible for the death penalty. See Atkins v. Virginia, 536 U.S. 304, 321 (2002).
[2] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.

Theresa May's proposed counter terrorism bill has come under fire from activist groups and teachers unions.
Home Secretary Theresa May's speech where she proposed a new bill to fight terrorism within the UK has been criticised by the Open Rights Group and the Human Rights watch.
One of the proposed measures for the bill is a new statutory duty on colleges, schools, prisons, probation providers, police and councils to prevent individuals being drawn into terrorism. Ministers will have powers to issue directions to organisations that repeatedly invite extremist speakers or fail in the duty in other ways.
Mary Senior, Official for the Scotland University and Colleges Union (UCU), said:
"Universities and colleges have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their students and staff and not to allow activities which are intended to foment hatred or violence, or to recruit support for unlawful activities such as terrorism.
"At the same time, universities and colleges rightly cherish, and must continue to promote, academic freedom as a key tenet of a civilised society. It is essential to our democracy that all views are open to debate and challenge within the law."
Tom Lawrence, from the Home Office Press office said:
"The purpose of our Prevent programme is stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. It deals with all kinds of terrorist threats to the UK.
"Prevent activity in local areas relies on the co-operation of many organisations to be effective. Currently, such co-operation is not consistent across the country.
"The new duty will require specified authorities to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism. This will include local government, the police, prisons, providers of probation services, schools, colleges, universities and others.
"Universities' commitment to freedom of speech and the rationality underpinning the advancement of knowledge means that they represent one of our most important safeguards against extremist views and ideologies.
"However, extremist preachers have used higher education institutions as a platform for spreading their messages. Universities must take seriously their responsibility to deny extremist speakers a platform.
"This duty is not about the government restricting freedom of speech — which the government is committed to – it is about universities taking account of the interests and well-being of all their students, staff and the wider community."
The bill, which will be published tomorrow, will also give police the power to seize passports and travel documents for up to 30 days, from people thought to be leaving UK to engage in terrorism-related activities, and force internet services providers to release Internet Protocol addressees to the police in order to target individuals.

Book 14 Rise and Establishment of Protestantism at Geneva
Chapter 10 Calvin enters Geneva Its civil and ecclesiastical constitution

Calvin at the Gates of Geneva Farel Told Meeting of Farel and Calvin Is this the Author of the Institutes?Adjuration Calvin Remains in Geneva Commences as Lecturer in the Cathedral His Confession of Faith Excommunication What is it? Morality the Corner-stone of the New State Civil Constitution of the Republic The Council-General The Council of Two Hundred The Council of Twenty-five The Syndics The Consistory or Church-Court Distinction between the Civil and Ecclesiastical Powers Calvin's Ideas on the Relations between Church and State Guizot's Testimony Calvin's Ideal in Advance of his Age.
ONE day, towards the end of August, 1536, a stranger, of slender figure and pale face, presented himself at the gates of Geneva. There was nothing to distinguish him from the crowds of exiles who were then arriving almost daily at the same gates, except it might be the greater brightness that burned in his eye. He had come to rest only for a night, and depart on the morrow. But as he traversed the streets on his way to his hotel, a former acquaintance Du Tillet, say some; Caroli, say others recognised him, and instantly hurried off to tell Farel that Calvin was in Geneva.
When, nearly a year ago, we parted with Calvin, he was on his way across the Alps to visit Renee, the daughter of Louis XII. of France, and wife of Hercules d'Este, Duke of Ferrara. "He entered Italy," as he himself said, "only to leave it," [1] though not till he had confirmed the illustrious princess, at whose court he sojourned, in her attachment to the Protestant faith, in which, despite the many and peculiar trials to which her constancy exposed her, she steadfastly continued to her life's end. His eldest brother dying, Calvin recrossed the mountains, on a hasty journey to his birthplace, most probably to arrange the family affairs, [2] and leave Noyon for ever. Where shall he next go?. The remembrance of the studious days he had passed at Basle returned to him with irresistibly attractive force, and now, accompanied by his brother Antoine, and his sister Maria, [3] he was on his way to his former retreat; but the direct road through Lorraine was blocked up by the armies of Charles V., and this compelled him to make a detour by Switzerland, which brought him to the gates of Geneva.
With startled but thankful surprise Farel received the news that the author of the Christian Institutes was in the city. God, he thought, had sent, at a critical moment, the man of all others whom he most wished to associate with himself in the work of reforming Geneva.
Farel had begun to feel the difficulty of the task he had in hand. To break this people from their habits of lawless indulgence, nurtured by the contests in which they had won their liberty, would indeed be no easy matter. They would spurn all attempts to coerce them, and yield only to the force of a stronger will, and the sway of a loftier genius. Besides, the highest organising skill was demanded in the man who should set up a moral tribunal in the midst of this licentious city, and found on this unpromising spot an empire which should pervade with its regenerating spirit nations afar off, and generations yet unborn. Believing that he had found in Calvin one who possessed all these great qualities, Farel was already on his way to visit him.
Farel now stands before the author of the Institutes. He beholds a man of small stature and sickly mien. Were these the shoulders on which he should lay a burden which would have tasked the strength of Atlas himself? We can well believe that Farel experienced some moments of painful misgivings. To reassure himself he had to recall to mind, doubtless, the profound wisdom, the calm strength, and the sublimity of principle displayed on every page of the Institutes. That was the real Calvin. Now Farel began to press his suit. He was here combating alone. He had to do daily battle against an atrocious tyranny outside the city, and against a licentious Libertinism within it. Come, he said to the young Reformer, and be my comrade in the campaign.
Calvin's reply was a refusal. His constructive and practical genius was then unknown even to himself. His sphere, he believed, was his library; his proper instrument of work, his pen; and to cast himself into a scene like that before him was, he believed, to extinguish himself. Panting to be at Basle or at Strasburg, where speaking from the sanctuary of a studious and laborious privacy, he could edify all the Churches, he earnestly besought Farel to stand aside and let him go on his way.
But Ferel would not stand aside. Putting on something of the authority of an ancient prophet, he commanded the young traveler to remain and labor in Geneva, and he imprecated upon his studies the curse of God, should he make them the pretext for declining the call now addressed to him. [4] It was the voice not of Farel, but of God, that now spoke to Calvin; so he felt; and instantly he obeyed. He loved, in after-life, to recall that, "fearful adjuration," which was, he would say, "as if God from on high had stretched out his hand to stop me." [5]
Calvin's journey was now at an end. He had reached the spot where his life's work was to be done. Here, in this grey city, clinging to its narrow rocky site, the calm lake at its feet, and the glories of the distant mountains in its sky, was he for twenty-eight years to toil and wage battle, and endure defeat, but to keep marching on through toil and defeat, to more glorious
victory in the end than warrior ever won with his sword, and then he would fall on sleep, and rest by the banks of that river whose "arrowy" stream he had crossed but a few minutes before, he gave his hand to Farel, and in doing so he gave himself to Geneva.
If the destiny of Calvin was from that moment changed; if from a student he became a legislator and leader; if from being a soldier in the ranks he became generalissimo of the armies of Protestantism, not less was the destiny of Geneva from that moment changed. Calvin had already written a book that constituted an epoch in Protestantism, but he was to write it a second time; though not with pen and ink. He would display before all Christendom the Institutes, not as a volume of doctrines, but as a system of realised facts a State rescued from the charnel-house of corruption, and raised to the glorious heritage of liberty and virtue glorious in art, in letters, and in riches, because resplendent with every Christian virtue. To write Protestantism upon their banners, to proclaim it in their edicts, to install it as a worship in their Churches, Calvin and all the Reformers held to be but a small affair; what they strove above all things to achieve was to plant it as an operative moral force in the hearts of men, and at the foundations of States.
Calvin was now at the age of twenty-seven. The magistrates of Geneva welcomed him, but with a cautious reserve, if we may judge from the first mention of his name in the registers of the city, about a fortnight after his arrival, as "that Frenchman!" He was appointed to give lectures on the Scriptures, and to preach. [6] Beza styles him "doctor or professor of sacred letters," but as yet no academy existed, and his prelections were delivered in the cathedral. As regards the latter function, that of preacher, it was some time before Calvin would assume it. When at length he appeared in the pulpit as pastor, he spoke with an eloquence so simple and clear, yet so majestic and luminous, that his audiences continued daily to grow. He had already done a winter's work, but had received scarcely any wages, for we read in the Council Registers, under date February 13th, 1537: "Six gold crowns are given to Cauvin or Calvin, seeing that he has hitherto scarcely received anything." [7]
It was not long till Calvin's rare genius for system and organisation began to display itself. Within three months from the commencement of his labors in Geneva, he had, in conjunction with Farel, compiled a brief but comprehensive creed, setting forth the leading doctrines of the Christian faith. To this he added a Catechism, [8] not that, in question and answer, for children, which we now possess, but one adapted to adults. The Genevans, with uplifted hands, had embraced Protestantism: Calvin would show them what that Protestantism was which they had professed, and what were the moral duties which it demanded of all its adherents. The Genevans had lifted up their hands: had they bowed their hearts? This was the main question with him. He had no trust in blind obedience. Knowledge must be the corner-stone of the new State, the foundations of which he was now laying.
We can give here only the briefest outline of this Confession of Faith. Placing the Word of God in the foreground, as the one infallible authority, and the one and sole rule, it proceeds, in twenty-one articles, to declare what Scripture teaches, touching God, and the plan of redemption which he has provided for man fallen and helpless. It proclaims Christ the one channel of all blessing; the Spirit, the one Author of all good works; faith, "the entrance to all these riches;" and then goes on to speak of the apparatus set up for offering redemption to men, the Sacraments and ministers. Then follow articles on the Church, "comprehending the whole body of true believers;" on excommunication, or the exclusion from the Church of all manifestly unholy and vicious persons, till they shall have repented; and, in fine, on magistracy, "an ordinance of God," and to be respected "in all ordinances that do not contravene the commandments of God." On the 10th of November, 1536, this Confession was received and approved of by the Council of Two Hundred. [9]
To the half-Protestantised citizens of Geneva the sting of this document was in the end of it ex-communication. The other articles had simply to be professed, this one was heavier than them all, inasmuch as it had to be borne. What did this power import? Was the Protestant excommunication but the Papal anathema under another name? Far from it. It carried with it no cruel infliction. It operated in no preternatural or mystic manner, inflicting blight upon the soul. It did not even pronounce on the state of the man before God. It simply found that his life was manifestly unholy, and, therefore, that he was unfit for a holy society, and in token of his exclusion it withheld from him the Sacraments. No society can exist without laws or rules; but of what use are laws without an executive or tribunal to administer them? and without the right of inflicting penalties, a tribunal would be powerless; and a lighter penalty than "excommunication" or expulsion it would be impossible to conceive or devise. Without this power the Church in Geneva would have been a city without walls and bulwarks; it would have been dissolved the moment it was formed.
It is necessary at this stage to refer to the Constitution civil and ecclesiastical of Geneva, in order that the course of affairs may be clearly intelligible. The fundamental principle of the State was, that the people are the source of power. In accordance therewith came, first, a Convention of all the
citizens, termed the Council-General.
This was the supreme authority. To obviate the confusion and turbulence incident to so large an assembly, a Council of Two Hundred was chosen, termed the Great Council. [10] Next came the Little, or ordinary Council, consisting of twenty-five members, including the four Syndics of the city.
This last, the Council of Twenty-five, was the executive, and possessed moreover a large share of the judicial and legislative power. The constitutional machinery we have described in detail was popularly summed up thus the PEOPLE, the COUNCIL, and SENATE of Geneva. The Council-General that is, the People was convoked only once a year, in November, to elect the four Syndics. Besides this annual assembly, it met on important emergencies, or when fundamental changes were to be determined upon, and then only. The actual government of the State was mainly in the hands of the Council of Twenty-five, which was by constitution largely oligarchical. Such was the republic when Calvin became a member of it.
With Protestantism there arrived a new power in Geneva the religious, namely and we complete our picture of the government of the little State when we describe the provision made for the exercise of the ecclesiastical authority. The court or tribunal which took cognisance of Church scandals was the Consistory. The Consistory was composed of the five ministers of the city and twelve laymen. [11] It met every Thursday, and the highest penalty it had power to inflict was excommunication, by which is meant expulsion from the Church. If this failed to reclaim the offender, the Consistory had the right to report the case to the Council, and require it to proceed therein according to the laws.
In judging of this arrangement time and circumstances are to be taken into account. The course of affairs at Geneva inevitably tended to graft the ecclesiastical upon the civil government, and to some extent to build up the two in one. It was Protestantism that had called Geneva into existence as a free State. Protestantism was its soul, the center and citadel of its liberties, and whatever tended to weaken or overthrow that principle tended equally to the ruin of the republic. Encompassed on all sides by powerful enemies, this one principle was the bond of their union and the shield of their freedom; and this went far to impart, in many cases, a two-fold character to the same action, and to justify the Church in regarding certain acts as sins, and visiting them with her censures, while the State viewed the same acts as crimes, and meted out to them its punishments.
Calvin took the Jewish theocracyas his model when he set to work to frame, or rather to complete, the General Republic. What we see on the banks of the Leman is a theocracy; Jehovah was its head, the Bible was its supreme code, and the government exercised a presiding and paternal guardianship over all interests and causes, civil and spiritual. Geneva, in this respect, was a reproduction of the Old Testament state of society. We of the nineteenth century regard this as a grave error. At the same time, it must be acknowledged that Calvin grasped the essential distinction between things civil and things ecclesiastical, and the necessity of placing the two under distinct jurisdictions or powers. But his theocratic views produced a dinmess and confusion in his ideas on that head, and he was more successful in settling the just limits of the ecclesiastical authority, than he was in defining those of the civil jurisdiction. He would not allow a particle of civil power to the Consistory, but he was not equally careful to withhold ecclesiastical power from the Council. This error arose from his making the Old Testament a model on a point which, we believe, was temporary and local, not permanent and universal. Nevertheless, the Reformer of Geneva stood ahead in this great question of all his predecessors. We may quote here the words of a great statesman, and a countryman of Calvin's, who has done justice to the Reformer on this point. "A principle," says Guizot, "we should rather say a passion, held sway in Calvin's heart, and was his guiding star in the permanent organisation of the Church which he founded, as well as in his personal conduct during his life. That principle is the profound distinction between the civil and the religious community. Distinction, we say, and by no means separation. Calvin, on the contrary, desired alliance between the two communities and the two powers, but each to be independent in its own domain, combining their action, showing mutual respect, and lending mutual support ..... In this principle and this fundamental labor," continues the historian, "there are two new and bold reforms attempted in the very heart of the great Reformation of Europe, and over and above the work of its first promoters." in proof, Guizot goes on to instance England, where the "royal supremacy" was accepted; Switzerland, where the Council of State held the sovereign authority in matters of religion; and Germany, where the magistrate was the chief bishop; and continues: "In this great question as to the relations between Church and State, Calvin desired and did more, than his predecessors .... in spite of the resistance often showed him by the civil magistrates, in spite of the concessions he was sometimes obliged to make to them, he firruly maintained this principle, and he secured to the Reformed Church of Geneva, in purely religious questions and affairs, the right of self-government, according to the faith and the law as they stand written in the Holy Books." [12]
In this statement of facts, Guizot is undoubtedly correct. Only we think that he is mistaken in believing that it was the Church of Rome, and the "independence of its head," which taught the Reformer the "strength and dignity" conferred on the Church by having "an existence distinct from the civil community."
Calvin learned the idea from a Diviner source. Nor was he quite so successful in extricating the spiritual from the civil jurisdiction, either in idea or in reality, as Guizot appears to think. As regarded the idea, he was embarrassed by the Old Testament theocracy, which he took to be a Divine model for all times; and as regarded the actuality, the opposition which he encountered from the civil authority at Geneva made it impossible for hint to realize his idea so fully as he wished to do. But it is only justice to bear in mind that his ideal was far in advance of his age, as Guizot has said.

Human Streptocerciasis
A Clinico-Pathologic Study of 40 Africans (Zairians) Including Identification of the Adult Filaria*
Forty patients with streptocerciasis were studied. They lived in a small village near Mbandaka in the Republic of Zaire. Microfilariae of Dipetalonema streptocerca were present in the dermal collagen, and the features which distinguish these microfilariae are described and illustrated. The main clinical feature was a dermatitis characterized by pruritus, hypopigmented macules and papules. Microscopically there was incontinence of melanin, fibrosis of dermal papillae, dermal fibrosis, dilated dermal lymphatics, increased mucosaccharides around small dermal vessels and lymphocytes, and eosinophils around dermal appendages and vessels. Adult, gravid D. streptocerca were found for the first time in human tissue. They were in the dermis. Treatment with diethylcarbamazine aggravated the dermatitis and caused a reaction around the adult worms. The inguinal lymph nodes were fibrotic, had decreased germinal activity, marked histiocytic hyperplasia, dilated lymphatics, and were infiltrated by plasma cells and eosinophils. The finding of obstructive lymphadenitis suggests that streptocerciasis may be a factor in the pathogenesis of chronic lymphedema.

The Ford Edge is a young crossover having been launched in 2007. However, it is one of Ford's first mid-size crossovers. Its excellent blend of wagon and sedan body styles coupled with a height of a SUV has made it very popular in the market.
Now, the blue oval automaker is set to offer a redesigned model of the Edge for the 2017 model year. The 2017 Ford Edge comes hooked up with a host of new features to make it even better in the market. The model will be offered in four trim levels, they are SE, SEL, Titanium and Sport. Read along to find out more:
2017 Ford Edge Exterior
Ford built the Edge with American buyers in mind. Its exterior profile goes a long way to support this fact. At the front, the Edge features a gigantic chromed grille which is flanked by wrought LED headlights.
Below the grille is a huge bumper integrated with LED fog lights. The bumper is also integrated with a modified air intake to channel more cooling air to the engine. Its headlights have also been redesigned and will feature LED lighting. The SEL adds heated mirrors.
LED lighting will also be featured on the rear. The rear also features two exhaust pipes each on either side. The base model rides on a set of 18-inch alloy wheels but higher trims will ride on 19-inches.
2017 Ford Edge Interior
Sliding inside the cabin of the new Ford Edge, you will find a comfortable interior with a space that comfortably accommodates five passengers. The base model comes standard with a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and a 4.2-inch touch-screen display.
Its rear seat has a 60/40 split folding capability which comes in handy when more cargo space is needed. The trim also features a Premium audio system with Pandora internet radio. A CD player Bluetooth connectivity, Smartphone integration and Auxiliary inputs are also offered. Other features include cruise control, automatic air conditioning, a rear-view camera and voice recognition.
The SEL features most of the SE equipment but comes with a number of optional packages. One such package is the Equipment package which features MyFord infotainment system, 2 configurable monitors, a supplementary USB port and an 8-inch touch-screen display. The packages add leather upholstery, 8-way power adjustable driver's seat, a power anterior seat among other features.
The Titanium trim on the other hand features heated front seats, a reclining front passenger seat, and driver memory settings. More features will be available on the top Sport trim.
Engine Specs and Performance
The new Ford Edge 2017 comes with similar drive-trains as those of the outgoing model. There are three engines. The base engine is a 2.0 EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine. The engine is capable of producing 245 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque.
The second engine is a Duramax 3.5 L V-6 mill capable of producing 280 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. The third and the most potent engine is an EcoBoost 2.7 L V-6 engine. The engine produces 320 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque.
The three engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission system. For more engaged driving, buyers can opt for the optional 6-speed manual transmission system. The Edge will be offered in both front-end all-wheel drive modes.
Price and release date
Ford is expected to release information on the 2017 Ford Edge close to its sale date sometimes during the last quarter of 2016.
The base SE trim will have a starting price of around $ 28,950. The mid trim SEL will start at around $ 31,790 and $ 35,600 for the Titanium trim. The top-of-the-range Ford Edge Sport will start MSRP at around $ 40,400.

We will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name. Restore us, LORD God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved. (Psalm 80.18-19)
Confession, Prayer, and Promise
"Revival" is a loaded word for me, remarkable for its distinct meanings in several circles. To Fundamentalist family and friends, it's a term for spiritual course correction. In that circle, "revival" means "back to basics." Among creative colleagues, it means using an outdated medium or marketing technique for novelty's sake. We file "revival" under "Everything Old is New Again." When I'm with theater people, "revival" means restaging a previously produced play. Their revivals—the best of them, at least—uncover current relevance in outdated works. The underpinning concept of renewal applies all around. Yet nuances in each usage contain starkly unique implications. Broadly put, Fundamentalist revivals reverse; marketing revivals reintroduce; theatrical revivals reimagine. So, when "revival" turned up in tomorrow's readings, I needed to step away from the phrase and reconsider it in a new context.
The Advent thread is apparent in the readings. The Old Testament texts anticipate the coming of "God's Son," while the New Testament declares Jesus is God's Son. Isaiah and Matthew (quoting Isaiah) have the Christmas edge: "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son." But Nativity's nexus is tucked into Psalm 80's prayer for revival. The poem repeats one chorus three times, each in subtly altered form. At first, it's "Restore us, O God; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved." (v3) The second calls on "God Almighty." (v7) The final chorus begins, "Restore us, LORD God Almighty." (v19) On its surface, the poem is a plea for salvation, not much different from other laments crowding the Psalms' pages. Still, the refrain's evolution tells us something is going on. The cries sound more desperate as the appellation for God gains gravity.
The poet's energy flags as he goes. In verse 2, he writes, "Awaken your might; come and save us," essentially asking, Don't You see we're in trouble here? Then, in verse 3: "Restore us, O God." In the verse preceding "Restore us, God Almighty," he complains of being under attack: "You have made us an object of derision to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us." The last cry, to "LORD God Almighty," follows the confession he's got nothing left—no confidence or strength of his own—and can't make it without a Savior: "Let your hand rest on the man at your hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself. Then we will not turn away form you; revive us, and we will call on your name." (v17-18) Here, "revival" transcends reversal, reintroduction, or reimagination. It begs God to reenergize our faith and stamina. Pondering the psalmist's plea, we realize "revive us" is the Christmas message. It's the Christmas confession, prayer, and promise.
Refuge, Rescue, and Redemption
With his circumstances growing grimmer between choruses, we question why the psalmist revises his description of God instead of revising how he describes his immediate fears. Dissecting his names for God holds the key, because changing God's name changes the request. In verse 3 he calls on God as elohim, a plural noun portraying God as Refuge. "Restore us" and "Make Your face shine on us, that we may be saved" ask for clarity to find refuge in chaotic times. Modifying elohim with "Almighty" (tzevaovt: "hosts," to mean "Lord of hosts") in verse 7 adds a not-so-subtle militaristic tone imploring God to rescue us from adversaries and abusers. The third chorus invokes the ultimate, universal Power: "LORD God Almighty" (Yahweh elohim tzevaovt)— Creator and Ruler of the world and humankind, the God Who speaks light into existence and breathes life into us. Thus, the third prayer cries out for redemption by encompassing the earlier pleas: "We're in trouble. We're under attack. We've got nothing left. Restore us. Shine on us. We're desperate for the clarity, safety, and certainty of Your light. Send a Savior to revive us. To renew us. To redeem us."
We Need a Savior
Advent is, above all else, our hour of confession. We need refuge. We need rescue. Most of all, we need revival. On our own, we have nothing left—no confidence or strength to continue. We live in a disorderly, unpredictable, troubled world. We are beset by adversarial attitudes and abusive behaviors. Doubt looms on every side. The work of living depletes our reserves. We need a Savior to reenergize our faith and stamina, One Whose light will restore our clarity, safety, and certainty. The Christ Child is our Redeemer. The Babe in the manger signifies the Lord God Almighty has answered our prayer.
Matthew 1.22-23 summarizes the Nativity: "All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 'The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel' (which means 'God with us')." The Infant revives our faith in a God Who is with us in every circumstance. Mary's Baby reenergizes our confidence and stamina to press on. The Christmas revival rekindles God's light in our hearts. We find refuge. We are rescued. We have been redeemed!
We need a Savior—and one has come to reenergize our faith and stamina, to revive us.
Postscript: "Revive Us Again"
Ashley Cleveland, a multiple Grammy-winning artist, puts a ferocious country-and-blues spin on the old hymn "Revive Us Again." She shakes us to remember that Christ came to reenergize our faith and stamina—and her conviction springs from having struggled with addiction until she turned to the Savior for revival. (See the second video for her story.)
We praise Thee O God
For the Son of Thy love
For Jesus, Who died
And is now gone above
Hallelujah, Thine the glory
Hallelujah, amen
Hallelujah, Thine the glory
Revive us again!
We praise Thee O God
For Thy Spirit of light
That has shown us our Savior
And banished our night
Hallelujah, Thine the glory...

Belt Support and Impact Protection
An important component of a well-designed load zone is the support foundation. Properly designed, the foundation should provide a continuous impact bed that prevents punctures, rips and tears in the belt. It should also support the belt profile in a full radius trough profile. This creates the ideal base for safe loading of materials on the belt and is also the critical first step in preventing belt sag before the placement of other material containment and dust control components.
The Richwood Impact Saddle is the original impact and support unit with a curved trough design and slide-on slide-off UHMW wear segments. It is directly interchangeable with CEMA idlers.
Impact Saddles often work with Cushion Arc or Full Arc Idlers, depending on the needs of the load zone.
Cushion Arc Impact Idlers and Full Arc Impact Idlers have a full radius design for optimum profile support with no pinch points or junction points often found in conventional idlers. They can be installed as direct replacement for conventional idlers or combined with Richwood Impact Saddles to form perfectly matched, extended length load zones.
Every application is unique, and Richwood will design and build the solution that is right for you.

Concept The Role of Religious Leaders in Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding
An Encounter of Religions for Peace Inter-religious Councils of Thailand and Sri Lanka
Hotel Tawana Ramada Surawong Road.Bangkok, Thailand October 28-29, 2009
In times of war or peace and at different stages of conflict from prevention to post conflict reconciliation and reconstruction, religious leaders and their communities play a critical role. Senior religious leaders representing Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Christian and other traditions from Sri Lanka and Thailand will be gathering in Bangkok on 29 October to present their unique initiatives of building an inter-religious instrument to undertake high-level advocacy and action to resolve conflict and advance peace.
The World Conference of Religions for Peace (WCRP/Religions for Peace), the world'slargest multi-religious organization accredited to the United Nations, has facilitated the building of mechanisms for multi-religious cooperation for peace called "Inter-religious Councils (IRC)."
The IRC led by senior representatives of religious communities serves as the multi-religious voice of the country, offers the possibility of mediation, rejects extremist tendencies, and educates the public on the positive, socially transformative power of religions and their cooperation.

What started as a mild jugalbandi between the Rahat and Saleem turned ugly in between with both of them trying hard to overshadow each other. And it won't be wrong to say the song they were singing became a noise between 1:58 to 2:05 in the video.
Master Saleem Khan & Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
But taking nothing away from their singing skills they gave tough competition to each other which no one other than these two could have managed. Sonu Nigam on the other hand remained a mute spectator in the fight of the titans. Rahat who carries forward the legacy of his uncle Ustaad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Saleem is the son of Legendary sufi singer Ustaad Puran Shahkoti.Although it was a little awkward to hear such talented musicians creating such a fuss at some points in the song. But in the end it was the Music which Won.

WOODY BAUM - Monday, May 17, 2010
Francisco Torres and Pachuca fall to Toluca in the second leg of their liguilla semifinal bout.
Toluca 1 0 Pachuca
Pachuca's unlikely liguilla run came to an end on Saturday as they lost to Toluca in Toluca. The series concluded with Toluca prevailing on three goals to two on aggregate. Toluca will now advance to the finals to take on Santos Laguna.
Pachuca entered the Estadio Nemesio Diez needing a win to advance on aggregate after tying Toluca at home on Wednesday. Pachuca initiated the game playing with urgency and Damien Alvarez took the first shot in the second minute that went wide left.
Toluca responded by slowing the game down with Antonio "Sinha" Naelson helping to win possession for the hosts. Francisco Torres started and played all 90 minutes. The American helped Pachuca to build up the attack, distributing the ball from the midfield, making several runs, and taking several shots from long range.
While Pachuca continued to attack they frequently left themselves exposed to counterattacks and were lucky to have not been scored upon by Sinha in the first half when he received a beautiful through pass with only the goalie to beat, only to see his chipped shot fall inches wide.
However, Toluca would not forgive on their second clear chance of the night, when in the 41st minute, Nestor Calderon delivered a cross that was headed away by Gerardo Rodriguez. However, the rebound fell to Antonio Rios outside the area, who then shot past Pachuca keeper Rodolfo Cota.
Despite being down a goal, Pachuca had reason for hope before the half, as Toluca defender Osvaldo Gonzalez was sent off for receiving his second yellow of the night after a hard tackle on Damien Alvarez.
Although up a man, Pachuca was unable to take advantage. In the second half, they dominated possession, but were unable to generate and convert chances at goal as the Toluca defense played disciplined soccer all night. Pachuca's first real chance of the half came in the 81st minute, when Damien Alvarez's header was kicked away on the line. Several minutes later in the 84th minute, Ulisis Mendevil's header bounced off the post.
Despite the strong play, Pachuca was unable to get the two goals that they needed to reach the finals. Despite not reaching the finals, it was a successful season for Pachuca as they were able to win the Concacaf Champions league and qualify for the club World Cup. With the season over, Torres will report for national team duty in New Jersey as the US prepares for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Big city mayors from around the world signed a series of pacts on Sunday to improve the conditions of urban centers, capping a five-day U.N. World Environment conference in San Francisco, the city where the United Nations was founded in 1945.
The signing ceremony on World Environment Day in the ornate rotunda at City Hall committed more than 50 of the world's largest cities to "build an ecologically sustainable, economically dynamic, and socially equitable future for our urban citizens," organizers said.
The accords call for 21 actions aimed at putting cities on a path to greener, cleaner, healthier environments for their current residents and the estimated 1 million people moving to cities each week.
They covered energy, waste reduction, urban design, urban nature, transportation, environmental health, and water improvement programs to be implemented by mayors and delegates from cities like Jakarta, London, Seattle, Rio de Janeiro, Lausanne, and Calcutta.
Among the goals to develop global "Green Cities," the programs seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent by 2030, set a policy of zero waste going to landfills and incinerators by 2040, ensure public parks within a half mile of every city resident by 2015, and safe drinking water for all by 2015.
The San Francisco event wound up a day of conferences, concerts, art shows, tours, films, parades, tree plantings and cleanup drives in cities around the world, all focusing on building momentum for environmental change.
By 2030, more than 60 percent of the world's population will live in cities, up from almost half now and just a third in 1950, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said. Growth poses huge problems ranging from clean water supplies to trash collection.
"Already, one of every three urban dwellers lives in a slum," Annan said in a statement. "Let us create green cities."
He added the U.N. goal of halving poverty by 2015 would not be met unless city planning was less haphazard.
Activists mark June 5, the date of the first environmental summit in Stockholm in 1972, as the U.N.'s World Environment Day. The 2005 theme was "greener" planning for cities, many of them hit by air pollution, fouled rivers and poor sanitation.
Elsewhere on Sunday, millions of people from Japan to Jamaica marked World Environment Day by planting trees or staging rallies as the United Nations urged better "green" city planning to cope with runaway urban growth.
In China, home to a fifth of humanity, the 2005 focus was to curb noise and clean up fouled water, air and rubbish in urban areas, Pan Yue, vice minister of the State Environmental Protection Administration, told Chinese Central Television.
In Australia, green groups and local councils organized festivals to promote awareness of environmental issues from recycling to tree planting to cleaning up waterways.
In Greece, the port of Zakynthos banned cars for the day and allowed free public transport, while tree planting took place along the Sri Lankan coast -- devastated by the Dec. 26 tsunami -- in Kenya and at Ocho Rios on the Caribbean island of Jamaica.
Among events in Japan, a fashion show encouraged workers to dress less formally in summer to help cut air conditioning bills and save energy under a government-sponsored "Cool Biz" drive.
"By trying on these clothes, it helps ... raise awareness of environmental issues and help realize how we need to revolutionize our ways," said Sanyo Electric Chairman Satoshi Iue after walking down a catwalk in a gray suit and a white stiff-collar shirt -- but minus a tie.
In Norway, a youth group protested plans to build new gas-fired power plants, saying they would mean too much pollution and add to greenhouse gas emissions.

Learning English: Diverse Students in American Classrooms
An estimated 4.6 million students in America's public school system are learning English as a new language. Consequentially, there is a vital need to learn more about evidence-based approaches to support English learner students.
In partnership with WVIZ/PBS ideastream, Regional Educational Laboratory (REL) Midwest created a 30-minute documentary that presents the research on academic supports for English learners. Featuring Diane August, a managing researcher at AIR, the documentary shows how certain evidence-based approaches work in real-life settings through stories from the Cleveland Metropolitan School District's (CMSD's) Multilingual Multicultural Education Program. These stories highlight real students, teachers, and school and district leaders from CMSD.

how long can you keep medicine for before it has to be thrown away?
Q:how long can you keep medicine for before it has to be thrown away?
More Answers to "how long can you keep medicine for before it has to be thrown away?"until it expires
I used to work in an alternative store; the answer for over the counter drugs is "one year past the expiration date." The meds may loose a little of their strength potential but are not harmful in any way.I have never dealt in perscription drugs however; my guess would be approximately six months or so just to be safe; even though most physicians would proubably say, throw them out after they expire.
Until the expiration date. Most can be used past that date but a few will make you very ill if you do. It is very few and no I don't know which ones. A doctor told me that.
look at the expiration date.
when the expiration date on the bottle says too. and always flush them instead of throwing them in the garbage..
each medications varies. just look at the bottle. afterwards, you can still take them- they will just not be as strong. Keeping them for too long will make you sick. I'd suggest flushing expired meds down the tolit would be safer.
when you dont need it anymore, look on the back for the date printed, that is when the medicine will do more harm than good, never share medicine either.
Read the bottle. It's there.
check the expiration date on the bottle Most over the counter medication have expiration dates on the bottle. For prescription meds, the rule of thumb is one year after they are filled. After a year, they lose their effectiveness. If you can't find a date on over the counter meds, I would recommend you stick to the one year rule as well. Good luck!
There should be an expiration date on the bottle.
When the bottle says to throw it away.
You can use Tylenol, Motrin, Asperin, etc. way past the expiration date and it is still safe and effective. Source(s):my brain
If it is a home remedy it depends on what you use to make it oils will usuall keep for a year if ref. one made with acohol will keep for years and years . lotions keep only a few month hope this helps
Just look at the expiration date on the label.

Don't be boastfully confident
By K.N. Pandita
Inter-communication between the interlocutors and separatists on one hand and intra-communication process among the Hurriyatis makes dialogue drama in Kashmir more bizarre. While senior Hurriyat (M) leader Ansari finds no obstruction to talks if its conditions are accepted, Shabir Shah's party an affiliate of Hurriyat (M) has, in his last minute letter, spelt out the conditions. Team Interlocutors has to respond to these moves. Padgaonkar seems to be boastfully confident that the Home Ministry "has to accept our recommendations though it is not bound to accept those of Jaithmalani Committee." Who does he want to fool? If that is the case, then there is truth in what the separatists allege, namely the interlocutors are moving along the lines dotted by the Home Ministry. In other words, it is a face saving exercise by the Home Ministry.
Rules of procedure do not substantiate Padgaonkar's claim that the government is bound to accept the recommendations of his team, howsoever comprehensive and all-satisfying these be. No sovereign government is bound to accept the recommendations of a team which it has constituted for a specific purpose if these run counter to the fundamental philosophy and constitutional propriety in one way or the other. Even if the team interlocutors are a ploy of the Home Ministry to make concessions to the separatists in Kashmir, it has no justification to pronounce finality of its verdict. In the matter of Kashmir, it is the parliament whose word has finality keeping in mind the special status and sensitivity of Kashmir. Furthermore Padgaonkar has finally and faithfully stated in the press conference that his team has the mandate for Kashmir Valley though it did visit Jammu and Ladakh and met with some people and groups there but that could be just a balancing act and does not mean much.
The highlights of the teas report are still unknown but it is boasting of having taken into account all shades of opinions in Kashmir Valley. In the same breath it says that its mission will not be deterred by negative approach of the separatists. At the last moment, it has affirmation of the conditions put forth by Shabir Shah in his last minute letter to the team. It took the team five months to make on spot study of Kashmir situation and formulate its recommendations but it took it just one night to express positive and affirmative response to Shabir's conditions. Bizarre indeed is the entire drama. Who will believe that the trio has a magic wand to iron out glaring and diametrically opposed views among the groups in Kashmir? It claims to have found space for greater autonomy, self-rule, azaadi (though alluded to only diabolically), etc. into account. So the valley gets them all at one and the same time. Really a magical wand, Mr. Padgaonkar. And if only Kashmir Valley is the concern of the team interlocutors, it will have to reflect on various rehabilitation plans offered by the representatives of nearly half a million internally displaced persons who are part and parcel of Kashmir Valley and without whose concurrence there can be no solution to the problem. There have been some very positive and practicable options offered by them like the twin-city capital for Kashmir. The team cannot push such constructive options of their rehabilitation under carpet when the Prime Minister and the Home Minister are already in know of these options. These suggestions meet all national interests like national integration, communal harmony, composite culture and a vision for future of secular democratic Kashmir. If these are the parameters of return of peace and normalcy then conducive options carry much weight. Nevertheless, it has to be said that an approach to J&K situation has to be a composite and inclusive one and all the three regions have to be there on the graph of the team. It is for the first time that a serious attempt is made by the centre to address the problems of the State. But it would have been better if the team maintained discretion in what it has been saying publicly. It should desist from making threadbare statements or making decisive claims knowing that the matter it is handling is too complicated to be treated nonchalantly.
Recasting relations with Arabs
There appears a change of heart in Islamic Brotherhood, Egypt's Islamic party that was banned by the deposed president Hosni Mubarak for fear of its role in fueling Islamic movement in Egypt and elsewhere. The Brotherhood has approached Indian ambassador in Cairo that India help holding free and fair elections in Egypt for installing a democratic government when time comes. It is an indirect tribute to India, the world's largest democracy, for her experience and conviction in consolidating the power of the people. Even the US Minister of State, Hilary Clinton is reported to have talked to the Indian foreign minister in this behalf. India will naturally take the request in its stride knowing that relations with Egypt during Hosni regime were not that cordial. If New Delhi accepts to play a role when time comes, it should be only to prove its conviction in establishing democracy in the Arab State and not claim it a point over its adversary. The Brotherhood is trying to give a proof of its desire of bringing a democratic government in Egypt, which could be a precursor to similar role in other Arab states now on the verge of shifting from despotism to dictatorship. India must give a good account of her in this important area and play a role in democratizing entire Muslim world to the great benefit of their masses. India has a stake in democratic Arab world where no fewer than four million Indians are working at the moment. The entire gamut of Indo-Arab relationship has to be bought on a new philosophy and approach. Even the United States would become a backbench supporter to the process. This role will be far more useful and result-oriented than the non-alignment with which India got stuck up for too long a time and with little gain.

Teen Driver Hits 5 Deer In One Year
Conrad Girl Is Known As "The Deer Magnet"
A 17-year-old from Conrad is convinced she is approaching a painful record. In the last 12 months, she said she has hit five deer while driving her familys vehicles.
Kacee Larson said her string of bad luck began around 11 p.m. one night last July when she was driving home from her work at a local ice cream shop.
Then I saw the deer and I was just like boom, said Kacee.
She pointed to the front of her white minivan and said, There used to be a grill here and it just kind of divided it in half.
Kacee was able to drive the vehicle home, but worried about waking up her mom.
I came home crying because I didn't know what my mom was going to say," said Kacee.
I'm going, Oh, no! said her mom, Ronda Chesick.
The girl, who normally wears a full chest brace because of scoliosis, was fine. Her minivan was damaged but drivable.
Kacees second encounter with deer happened just a few months later, while she was driving to church on a Sunday morning.
It just kind of was there, Kacee laughed. It flipped up over the vehicle and I killed it. I had my sister with me and she screamed.
This time, she hit the deer with her moms van, busting up another grill.
Kacee said her third encounter with a deer happened a few months later, just miles from her home north of Conrad, while taking a cross country teammate home from practice. The 17-year-old thought she saw a cat in the ditch.
Well, instead of it being a cat, it's a deer, pops up, pretty much just nicks the van and goes back down, said Kacee. She pointed at her minivan again, saying, Got some deer hair out of that one.
This spring, Kacees string of bad luck continued. She was on her way to her baby-sitting job at 5:30 a.m. one morning when she spotted deer and slowed down.
I was driving along and it came off the side and rammed right into me and then -- pulled over and looked at the damage and like, 'Crap. Another one,' Kacee said.
But to show off her fourth crash, she had to point to her moms car. It hit right here, Kacee said. And then this was pushed in more, we pulled it out a little bit. And then it came back and hit this door and this was pushed in a lot more.
It's the only vehicle left we really had to drive, said Kacee
Ronda, her mom, admitted, I was furious and I chewed her out because it was my car. My van had broke down and the car was the only thing we had that was nice.
Kacees mom quickly calmed down, realizing her daughter was safe and hadnt been driving irresponsibly. The deer had hit her.
Word began circulating around town that the girl who will be a senior this fall at BCLUW High School had hit four deer in less than a year.
I was told by my pastor's wife to start praying before I get in a vehicle and I started doing that and I did that all the way to work this morning until I hit the deer and so I don't know what happened today, she said Friday, just hours after hitting her fifth deer in 12 months.
Last Friday, she was on her way to work as a baby sitter on County Road S-75, when she hit the fifth deer head on, deploying her airbag.
Then all the sudden there's one in front of me and I'm like, Dang it, she said. I hit dead center right here. You can see the hood has been pulled up. Everything's been shoved inside.
Kacees mother Ronda was woken up with a phone call around 3:45 a.m. A Grundy County deputy responded since Kacee had bruises from the airbag up and down her arms. The crash totaled Kacees minivan.
Law enforcement officers often use the phrase dont veer for deer, explaining that drivers who quickly attempt to avoid deer crashes often roll their vehicle or veer into oncoming traffic. Kacee has been following that advice, but asks, Why does it happen to me? Why me? Why pick me?
Considering the seriousness of the five crashes, Kacee and her mother are keeping their sense of humor, referring to the teenager as a deer magnet.
Kacees mother jokingly said, Let's find a 50 dollar car and put a steel plate in the front. That way, if she hits a deer it's just going to bounce off.

Phytoplankton and Sediments along Western Coast of Yucatan Peninsula19.5N 89W
Bright blue and green phytoplankton, mixed with sediments, float off the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, particularly on the western side.
The shores of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, where the distance between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean is shortest, however, are relatively clear.
The Yucatan peninsula, a karstic tropical region shared by Mexico, Belize and Guatemala, frequently experiences phytoplankton blooms.
These blooms are often fed by nutrients in surface runoff, which rivers deposit into the ocean. Here, sediment outflow is particularly noticeable near the Términos Lagoon, the large green lagoon just right of the center.

I've got to go with the Bell's IPA Trifecta at Melt. Love a good IPA and Bell's does some great ones. Melt will be a great venue for this too, what with all that cheese and stuff.

Be Safe Y'all.

- Technically none, but I did get a sample of this
What You Should Know:
- This is the final in a trilogy.
- It was inspired by those classic photos of levitating children and other tricks of photography from when the medium was new.
- I am giving away a poster of this book to the first commenter. More on that in a bit.
- This is a YA book, but is good for adults.
- The first book is being made into a movie and will presumably do well enough to see this one made into a movie someday as well.
In a post-Harry Potter world, the world of magical fiction is vast. There are not currently any discussion guides for this book yet. It only came out a few months ago. Let's talk about magical/supernatural fiction in a post-Harry Potter world. Many have tried and some have succeeded. Some have sold well, but been crap. Most turn back to vampires and witches because they are known and easy. The smart ones try to put a twist on things. Miss Peregrine's is one of the very best.
Riggs was very smart; he created a totally unknown universe. He took something we have all seen and used them to build the universe: weird pictures from the early days of photography. You know, the ones that make you think someone is a floating, but it is really a very early version of Photoshop. He build his world around the idea that these were pictures of real people. Each book takes found photos and weaves them into the story. Sometimes it feels forced, but nothing in these stories fits in anything we already know. Hollows, The Wights, and the children are all unique to Rigg's universe. Even the ending is unique. Without spoiling too much, Rigg's addresses what happens when our magical hero returns to his normal family.
Authors, this is what you have to do to really be successful: find something interesting and create new. Yes, you can probably write the same thing others have written about before you. Yes, you can do that and be successful. Creating something new and do it well. It's not easy, but keep working to find it.
Who Will Like:
- I think Harry Potter fans will like it, but only if you are ready for a completely new universe.
- People who read the other 2 books. Haven't read them? Give it a try!
- Teens who enjoy a slightly darker story.
The Poster:
At Book Expo they didn't give this book away. To be fair, the publisher has given away copies in the past. I have an autographed copy of the first book because they gave it away. I can't act entitled just because I want something. What they did give us was posters. I grabbed one and realized I didn't have space for it in my office. You can see a picture.
Here is what I am going to do: give it to the first person who responds to this post. Fingers crossed that someone does. Make sure you leave your email address so I can contact you about mailing it.

You Are Being Lied To 2012 (David Mulholland / PBH Free Fringe)
By Susan Ford | Published on Friday 17 August 2012
After reporting with the most prestigious American newspapers, David Mulholland now brings varied British tabloid facts to his Free Fringe comedy show. Mulholland lays down hard truths about papers and the lies within, spinning humour from headlines wherever possible. Admittedly, the show is not particularly funny, but it is quite interesting even though the themes are familiar; in recent times it seems easy to throw a punch at Rupert Murdoch or phone hacking to get a laugh, but its Mulholland's experience and passion for the media that forms the highlight. Mulholland shares tips on exposing a good story, and sneaking through traps to annoy big organizations with bad press, making his show an insightful story, rather than a stand up hit.

What is the wiki?
Welcome to the University of York's Wiki service. A wiki is a collection of pages that everyone can edit. You can use a wiki to create documentation, develop content or share notes. The Wiki is centrally managed by IT Services and is a live service, which means regular backups are taken and the service will remain online unless otherwise notified.
Any member of staff can login to the Wiki at https://wiki.york.ac.uk/ and any member of staff can create a Space, which is like a folder for pages. Before you do, you can check the list of existing Spaces by clicking the Dashboard link and checking the list on the left hand side. A new Space is a blank piece of paper, and the Wiki doesn't impose any structure on how you organise information - you can put everything on one page, or you can organise your information into lots of separate pages.
One of the great features of a wiki is that it's quick to add and change content, so if you have any idea or need to note something down, you can just go into your Space, click Add Page, and jot down some notes. Wikis are usually informal, so your pages don't need to be tidy all the time, and the structure of wikis tend to evolve rather than being designed from the beginning. Each version of a wiki page is stored, so you always go back to check or restore a previous version.
Getting started
For guidance on how to start creating and adding wiki pages, see:
Hints & Tips
Some additional suggestions on how you might make your wiki pages look more interesting:
Where to find help or support
Finding your way around
What to use the wiki for

Here are a couple of examples of how you might use the wiki to present information:
