Present Business: Repair the Breach
Date: 07/01/2012
Issue No. 288
On Sept. 11, 2011, the tenth anniversary of the Twin Towers demolition, President Obama went to that location (called "Ground Zero") and read Psalm 46,
1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
At the same time, Operation Jericho began in the Twin Cities here in Minnesota, ending seven days later on Sept. 17, 2011 with a march (or drive) around the loop formed by I-494 and I-694. This symbolized Israel's march around Jericho seven times in order to bring down the walls.
Jericho means moon, and so it represents the Church, which reflects the light of the sun (Christ). The walls of Jericho represent the denominational walls that have divided the Church for a long time. Operation Jericho was about tearing down the divisive "wall" around Jericho.
Now this year the prophetic work is about Nehemiah rebuilding the proper "wall." The negative side of this work was done in September of 2011, and we are now being instructed to do the positive work of rebuilding the proper wall, based on the pattern of Nehemiah 6:15,
15 So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.
The Beginning of the Revelation
On May 18, 2012 I received a telephone call, asking me to pray concerning this discernment about Nehemiah. He told me that he was discerning the importance of Elul 25 this year, which falls on Sept. 11/12, 2012. This, then, is the anniversary of the completion of Nehemiah's 52-day project to repair the breach in the wall of New Jerusalem.
The 52 days of repairing the breach in the wall of Jerusalem begins on July 22 and ends Sept. 11/12.
When he asked me to pray about this and see if I would get any confirmation, I had little to offer him, other than the fact that July 22 is the 204th day of the year. July itself is important, because it is the seventh month on our calendar and therefore parallels the Hebrew calendar month of Tishri. Tishri is the month in which the Autumn feast days occur and 7/22 is the 8th day of Tabernacles.
7/1 Blowing of Trumpets
7/10 Day of Atonement
7/15 Beginning of the Feast of Tabernacles
7/22 The 8th day of Tabernacles (end of feast)
For this reason, we are watchful every year in July for signs and revelation about those Autumn feasts. So when I learned that July 22, 2012 was the start of a 52-day work of repairing the breach, I took note of it to see what God might reveal in the days ahead.
Psalm 119 and the Number 204
The significance of the number 204 is seen in Psalm 119, which is a psalm celebrating the Word of God. The psalm has 22 sections, one for each of the 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Letters make up words, so this is how the psalmist celebrates the Word of God.
There are ten specific words used in this psalm, each describing the Word of God in some manner:
Way (derek)
Testimonies (eduth)
Precepts (pikkudim)
Commandments (mizvah)
Word (imrah)
Law (torah)
Judgment (mishpat)
Righteousness (zedek)
Statute (hok and hukka)
Word(s) (dabar)
The theme of Psalm 119 is found in verse 160, "the sum of Thy word is truth." In other words, all ten words represent the totality of the Word, even as the 22 letters make up the total alphabet used to create those words. Ten is also the number of the law, seen most clearly in the fact that there are Ten Commandments to summarize the mind and character of God that is our righteous standard.
Those ten different words listed above are used 204 times in Psalm 119. As we will see, number 204 speaks of Christ, the Word (Logos) of God through whom all things were created (John 1:1-4).
As the Creator, He also is the Head (Col. 1:18).
The Great Pyramid and Number 204
The Great Pyramid in Egypt has 203 layers of stone. The 204th layer was the Capstone, which was never placed on the top, because it was rejected by the builders (Ps. 118:22). The Pyramid, known originally as Pa-Hanoch, or "Pillar of Enoch," was constructed as a scale model of the earth in its dimensions. Its weight was 5,300,000 tons, which is one quadrillionth the weight of the earth.
The four sides are not perfectly flat, but curved. Its curvature is precisely the curvature of the earth itself. If we measure from corner to corner in a straight line, the distance is 365.242 Sacred Cubits. This number happens to be the precise length of a solar year (365.242 days).
The Pyramid was deliberately built slightly too small for the Capstone to fit properly. By design, the perimeter at its base should have been 36,524 inches, but it was only 36,238 inches. It was 286.1 inches short. As a symbol of the earth, the Pyramid was thus seen to fall short of the glory of God so that the Capstone, representing Christ, was too big to fit on the Pyramid. This is why the Capstone was rejected and never set in its place (Psalm 118:22).
Hence, built into the structure of the Pyramid is the truth of man's condition after the fall of Adam. Yet Abraham was called out of Ur of the Chaldees precisely 286.1 Sabbath years from Adam (2003 years).
The angle of the passage system in the Pyramid is 26 deg. 18 min. 9.63 sec. Using the location of the Pyramid as our reference point, a line drawn northeast at that angle runs through Bethlehem, where Jesus was born.
In fact, the distance from the Pyramid to Bethlehem is 2139 furlongs. The Pyramid dates itself astronomically in the year 2141 B.C., so we see that 2139 furlongs is also the measure of years until Jesus was born in 2 B.C.
The Great Pyramid was referenced in Isaiah 19:19, 20,
19 In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord near its border. 20 And it will become a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Champion, and He will deliver them.
The Great Pyramid of Gizeh is located in the midst of the land of Egypt at the ancient border between Upper and Lower Egypt. In fact, Gizeh means "border."
The numeric value of the two verses above, taken by adding up the numeric values of every letter, is 5449. The precise height of the Great Pyramid is 5449 Pyramid Inches, which is its internal measuring system. Our modern inch is almost identical (.999 Pyramid Inches).
So there is no doubt that Isaiah was referring to the Great Pyramid when prophesying of the deliverance of Egypt from their "oppressors." Egypt has a promise of deliverance in Christ, which has yet to be fulfilled.
There are 153 layers of stone from the bottom up to the King's Chamber, and another 50 above that for a total of 203. Thus, the numbers (153 + 50) prophesy of the sons of God (153) needing the Jubilee (50) in order to reach the top of the Pyramid where the Capstone is to be placed.
So the Capstone on the Great Pyramid was the 204th layer of stone, representing Christ, the "head of the corner" (Ps. 118:22). It was never put in place, because the Pyramid was built 286.1 inches too small. This created a BREACH, even as the rejection of Jesus as Messiah created a breach in the New Testament.
Capstone Placed Nov. 30, 2011
Last November, I was led to construct a small pyramid out of white Styrofoam. It stands over a foot high and its side angles are roughly the same as the Great Pyramid. The Lord said to build it on November 29 and bring it to the Church where I often attend and teach.
The Lord then said to place the capstone on it the following day, Nov. 30, 2011, to signify that Christ, our Head, had been accepted by the overcomers. I wrote in my notes, "Put Capstone on Pyramid—Christ accepted."
I did not know what this signified (until now as I was writing this bulletin). I was led to count 286 days back from the repair of the breach (Sept. 11, 2012). I discovered that it was precisely 286 days from Nov. 30 to Sept. 11.
What does this mean? It confirmed to me that God led me to build a pyramid and to wait until Nov. 30 to place the capstone. 286 days later is Sept. 11, 2012. Without my knowledge, God already had been intended to repair the breach on Sept. 11, 2012.
1998: President Clinton repairs the breach
Like his predecessors and successors, President Clinton often spoke with a forked tongue. In other words, there was a breach in his tongue which needed repair. In 1998 God brought him to the point where he had no choice but to confess his sin on national television immediately after his 52nd birthday. He turned 52 on August 17, 1998, and he gave his forced confession two days later.
On Sept. 11, 1998 President Clinton attended the Congressional Prayer Breakfast in the East Wing of the White House. He read Psalm 51, "Create in me a clean heart, O God." This was spoken in humility—unlike his forced confession earlier.
Because he was fulfilling the prophetic type of King Ahab, we knew that his act of humility had postponed judgment upon America for three years, even as King Ahab had done many years earlier (1 Kings 21:28 to 22:1).
This told us that a breach would delayed for three years later until Sept. 11, 2001, and that it would result in war. The Twin Towers incident accomplished this. We expected to see the repair of the breach begin as well, in accordance with the prophecy in Isaiah 30:25, 26,
25 And on every lofty mountain and on every high hill there will be streams running with water on the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. 26 And the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, on the day the Lord binds up the fracture [breach] of His people and heals the bruise He has inflicted.
When the Twin Towers fell, that breach began. So we wondered when the breach would begin to be repaired, as Isaiah had prophesied. As the years passed, it became increasingly obvious that the 10-year Hezekiah Factor would be the likely time to see something happen.
This is what occurred on Sept. 11, 2011, when Operation Jericho began its seven-day warfare to bring down the walls of Jericho.
This has now led to Part 2 of the revelation, which is to repair the breaches in the walls of New Jerusalem.
Revelation from the Dallas Conference
The Dallas conference on June 1-3 has also provided confirmation as well as greater understanding. On the first day of the conference, Pastor Rolland said that on May 23 he had to repair the street address on the church building. The address is 1424 Grauwyler Rd., and the "2" had fallen off the building, leaving just "14 - 4." After fixing it, he discovered that it was repaired on the 144th day of the year, May 23, 2012.
He related this to the raising up of Lazarus, because the numeric value of Lazarus is 144. The number signifies "the elect" in the sense of the resurrected ones. In fact, "the elect" in Rom. 11:7 also has a numeric value of 144.
In regard to May 23, the number 23 has to do with death and resurrection, so this matches perfectly with the 144 and its connection to Lazarus.
Robert Henley also was a speaker. He said that last March God had given him a deadline of June 1st in which to complete the basic structure of a new website designed to unify Kingdom people. This website will offer people opportunity to be part of a Kingdom community. People will be able to list their education, skills, callings, and business, so that their gifts and callings can be known to the larger group and be supported accordingly.
Robert said that this project was completed on time, and it was then submitted to others (like me) for prayer and suggestions for improvement. The website is:
In other words, it is about unity, and the number 153 is the numeric value of the Hebrew phrase, beni h'elohim, or "sons of God." This website is part of the revelation about repairing the breach, so it comes as no surprise that the deadline was June 1st, which was the 153rd day of the year.
When I heard this at the conference, I saw the connection between the 153rd day and the 144th day of the year, both of which speak into the revelation of repairing the breach to bring unity among the sons of God.
The Daughters of Zelophehad
The Manasseh revelation began in 2009, illustrating the connection between 144, 153, and 204. The daughters of Zelophehad, of the tribe of Manasseh, appealed to Moses for an inheritance in the 144th chapter of the Bible, which is Numbers 27.
The favorable verdict received added revelation in the 153rd chapter of the Bible, Numbers 36.
They received their inheritance in the 204th chapter of the Bible, Joshua 17.
At the Dallas conference, after hearing the story of the 144 and then the 153, I looked up the 204th day of the year and found my notes about July 22. It is the start of the 52-day period to repair of the Wall of New Jerusalem, completing it on Sept. 11/12, 2012.
So it is apparent that one of the main projects that God has determined to do this year is to repair the breach, based on the pattern of Nehemiah. I suggest, then, that we be watchful to see if perhaps there are some personal breaches that God wants us to repair in our own lives.
A Second 52-day Cycle
As you probably know by past experience, God usually gives us more than one beginning point and more than one end point for each time cycle that we are to watch. This provides us with a confirming witness, as the law of God prescribes.
The first 52-day cycle, of course, begins on July 22 and ends on Sept. 11/12. As I said earlier, July 22 is a type of the 8th day of Tabernacles (7/22 on the Hebrew calendar).
The second 52-day cycle, then, ought to begin on the actual 8th day of Tabernacles, October 8, 2012. The first cycle should present the Truth to us, while the second should establish it as Truth, as it is confirmed by law.
So if we count 52 days from October 8, we arrive at November 29, 2012. Is it just a coincidence that this is date has been so important in past years? Is it a coincidence that this date completes the year since Nov. 30, 2011—the day that I placed the Capstone on the Pyramid last year?
I think not.
Let us look at this a little more closely. July 22 is a type of the 8th day of Tabernacles, and so July 15 is a type of the start of the feast of Tabernacles (Lev. 23:39). So we ought to look at this entire 8-day feast from July 15-22. If we mark 52 days from that entire week, it is Sept. 4-11.
We saw this cycle first emerge back in 1998 when Ron Oja went to the East Wing of the White House on Sept. 4, 1998. He read Psalm 51 and prayed that Pres. Clinton would repent. One week later, on Sept. 11, 1998, Clinton stood in the same spot and read Psalm 51, "Create in me a clean heart, O God."
This is what repaired the breach in 1998, giving America a 3-year delay of divine judgment according to the pattern of King Ahab in 1 Kings 22:1.
For this reason, it seems to me that the entire week of Sept. 4-11 should be watched carefully this year.
Next, we can do the same with the actual week of Tabernacles, October 1-8, 2012. Using that week as our second starting point, we see that 52 days later comes to Nov. 22-29, 2012. That time frame also carries great prophetic significance as observed in past years:
November 21, 1947 the UN began debate on the Palestinian Resolution to create a Jewish homeland. They passed the bill on November 29.
November 29, 1987 was 40 years later. This was the day we moved to Memphis, TN, beginning my sojourn in "Egypt," the House of Bondage. During our stay in Memphis, they built the Great Pyramid stadium there.
November 21-29, 1988 I received revelation about coming out of Egypt. (See chapter 8, The Wars of the Lord.) This told me that God would release me from Memphis (Egypt) on Nov. 29, but it did not happen in 1988. I would have to wait for another year.
November 29, 1989 was when the Word of the Lord was fulfilled from 14 months earlier. I received a phone call from a friend who offered me a job in Arkansas. We soon moved out of Memphis, completing my Egyptian bondage experience.
November 21-29, 1993 was the initial phase of our Jubilee Prayer Campaign to overthrow Babylon. On Nov. 29 we appealed to the Divine Court for God to take the authority away from Babylon and give this Kingdom Mandate to the overcomers.
November 29, 2000 was the end of the initial 7 years of the Jubilee Prayer Campaign to overthrow Babylon. The next day, November 30, was the end of the 7½ year transition from Saul to David, which had begun with the death of (prophetic) "Saul" on May 30, 1993.
This correlated prophetically with the day that David captured Jerusalem and set up that city as the capital of his kingdom (2 Sam. 5:4-9). That was a prophetic type of the overcomers setting up the New Jerusalem as the capital of the Kingdom of God on the earth.
King David Repairs the Breach
Recall also that David was overthrown by his son Absalom 18 years later. David's return to Jerusalem to reclaim his throne was a prophetic type of the second coming of Christ. Even as David's return repaired the breach between the rightful king and his kingdom, so also does the second coming of Christ repair the breach between the Scepter and the Birthright.
So it should come as no surprise that David reclaimed his throne in 2 Samuel 19, which is the 286th chapter of the Bible. Placing the Capstone on the body repairs the breach.

- Why should my company transition?
Answer: Existing Free Zone companies are required to transition to the SEZ regime based on the Special Economic Zone Act. Since the passage of the SEZ Act and the repeal of the Jamaica Export Free Zone Act (August 2016) Free Zone companies' fiscal benefits were automatically grandfathered. This grandfathering period ends on December 31, 2019.
- What is the transition timeline?
Answer: July 31, 2019 – All completed transition applications should be submitted
December 31, 2019 – Free Zone fiscal benefits end. If companies have not transition by this time, they have upon till June 2020 but they will not receive any incentives during this period.
- When should I submit my documents?
Answer: Transition applications should be submitted by July 31, 2019.
- What if I wish to retain my grandfathered free zone benefits until December 31, 2019?
Answer: You may retain your grandfathered Free Zone fiscal benefits until such time, but you are required to submit your transition application to the Authority by July 31, 2019. In this case your SEZ designation will not come into effect until January 1, 2020.
N.B. If your company is currently expanding, relocating or changing business activities, then you are required to transition now.
If your company is currently in breach of the SEZ Act then you will need to transition immediately.
- As an Occupant who do we submit our applications to?
Answer: The Occupant application is submitted through the Developer.
- When we transition will the occupant get a Gazette from the Authority or from the Developer?
Answer: In the Special Economic Zone regime, it is the Operating Certificate that gives a company access to the SEZ fiscal benefits. While a company will get a gazette which will come from the Authority to the Developer and then to you it is not what Jamaica Customs Agency, Tax Administration of Jamaica and other relevant organisations will use to give you your benefits. It is the operating certificate.
- What are the renewal requirements?
Answer: The Operating Certificate is renewed annually. The renewal process will require applicants to complete the renewal process, outlined below.
- What is the cost to transition?
The transition application fee is as follows:
- Developer (Single Entity) – US$3,000.00
- Occupant – US$1,500.00
- Zone User – US$100.00
This payment is due with the submission of your application. This may be done via wire transfer or manager's cheque payable to the Jamaica Special Economic Zone Authority.
- If my developer doesn't decide to transition until the last minute how will I as a transitioning occupant be affected?
Answer: The transition of the Occupant is affected by the transition of the Developer. The Developer must transition before the Occupant is able to do so. In order to ensure that business operations are not adversely affected we will facilitate discussions with Developers and Occupants in order to ensure that all entities are clear on the process.
Special Economic Zone Designation
- Is it possible to have a Single Entity Developer and a Developer on the same land?
Answer: No. The Single Entity Developer assumes the roles and responsibilities of a Developer, the Single Entity land and company are given designation. Recall that the Developer provides commercial SEZ real estate for rental to Occupants, this is a different and separate relationship from that which is had with the Single Entity. Also note that one parcel of land cannot have two Developers assigned to it.
- If persons want to transition from Approved Enterprise to Developer status, will they be required to submit a new application?
Answer: Yes, the company will be required to submit a new SEZ Developer application.
- Changing status – can an entity move from a single entity to a developer.
Answer: This question requires exploration of the specific business case. Remember that the Developer is, in effect, the landlord and therefore should only be engaged in providing commercial real estate as opposed to carrying out any other commercial activities. A Single Entity Developer is usual an operator doing activities such as such as manufacturing, business process outsourcing or logistics.
- In the case of relocation or expansion do they need to reapply?
Answer: There is a relocation and expansion process, so it is not a reapplication but an application to relocate or expand.
Sub-concession Agreement
- What is a sub-concession agreement?
Answer: The purpose of this Agreement is to grant to the Occupant the right to maintain and operate the Business within the SEZ, for a certain duration of years under the terms and conditions described in both this Agreement and the Occupant Lease Agreement.
Zone Users
- Who are Zone Users?
Answer: Zone Users are companies that are located within the SEZ but do not have access to the SEZ incentives.
- What are the benefits provided for Zone Users?
Answer: The Zone User does not have access to the SEZ incentives, but the benefit from being in a strategic location, i.e. access to markets.
- Is it a requirement by the Authority for Zone Users to be a registered company?
Answer: Yes. A Zone User must be a company registered within Jamaica.
Reporting & Monitoring Requirements
- How does the Developer monitor activities being conducted by Occupants?
Answer: This is done via the Occupant reporting requirements and the Developers own internal procedures as it relates to monitoring of their Zone in keeping with the Developer's SEZ responsibilities.
Tax Filing
- How do SEZs file income taxes?
Answer: The process is completed online.
- How will JSEZA ensure that my documents are kept confidential?
Answer: As a part of the Government service we are bound by the strictures of confidentiality within the SEZ Act as well as per our staff orders.
Special Economic Zones and Customs
- If an entity wishes to dispose of goods and wishes to sell these items to staff at a reduced price, are Custom duties payable?
Answer: All applicable duties must be paid. Be guided by Section 23 of the Free Zone Act
- What would happen to goods that are in the bonded warehouse after December 31, 2019?
Answer: A submission is to be made to Customs by the entity setting out the situation. A detail account of the goods would have to be taken by my Officers and the relevant assessment made. Good can be exported. Goods that are unfit for sale or consumption, would have to be disposed of by the Entity. Where items of a nature can be transferred to the Queen's Warehouse we could examine that possibility.
- Will all goods held in the warehouse and in transit incur tax and duties after January 1, 2020?
Answer: Goods held in the warehouse would be treated in accordance with question 2 above. As it relates to goods in transit the Minister will have to give directives accordingly

Converting whole number into decimal
In one of my class exercises, I have to write a program that reads certain employee information and prints a payroll statement. I have to write it once using dialog boxes for input/output and again using console input/output.
One of the fields is the federal tax withholding rate. I have it set up so that I can enter a number (i.e., 20). What I need to do is convert that 20 into .20 and display it. I know how to display it but cannot figure out how to convert it.:confused:
You want to convert 20 to .20? Divide by 100.0
You want to do floating division not integer division.

It doesn't change anything with the major league club right now, but the Phillies announced prospect J.P. will be out four to six weeks with a left oblique strain.
The shortstop was having a strong spring and possibly could have started the season with Double-A Reading.
Last season, between Single-A Lakewood and Single-A Clearwater, Crawford hit .375 with 23 doubles, 11 home runs and 48 RBIs in 123 games.
The 20-year-old was drafted by the Phillies with the 16th overall pick in the 2013 MLB Draft. He's currently ranked the top prospect in Philadelphia's system by MLB.com.

10 things you need to know before developing for the Gear VR
This is my first post sharing my experiences porting and optimizing Yana Virtual Relaxation for the Gear VR. Yana is a 10-minute getaway to your own private beach, which includes a full day-to-night cycle reflected over water, which proved to be quite a challenge to get to the required performance level and to do so on a mobile device.
Here are my top 10 things you need to think about carefully in planning and understanding development for the Gear VR.
1. Know the limits of the Gear VR
This is the most important thing you need to keep in mind. The limitations of the mobile device will (and should) shape your experience.
It's very hard to take an existing experience and change it to suit the Gear VR, and even when it is possible the end product is never as good as something designed specifically for it.
It's best to start from scratch and base all key decisions regarding interaction, movement, and user interface around how they will function on this particular hardware.
The limits of the Gear VR are widely known, advertised by Oculus, and repeated by every developer giving advice on how to get started so... Here they are!
- Max 50-100 draw calls
- Max 50k-100k triangles
- Must hit a consistent 60 frames per second
It is also recommended to use optimized one pass shaders, no transparency, no post processes, no reflection, and no dynamic lighting (you can get away with one directional light if you need).
While these are pretty hard lines and going over 100 draw calls will likely drop your app below 60 frames per second, you can work very well within these boundaries.
2. Read the Oculus mobile SDK documents religiously
Oculus has worked for years to compile these guidelines for new developers and they contain almost everything you need to know to get started developing for the Gear VR. You should read every section of their docs at least once and revisit the best practices frequently.
I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but knowing the recommended methods will shine through in the final product. Almost every developer who has done Gear VR development will immediately notice things like the gaze cursor being a set distance from the head instead of it being projected on the surface you're looking at like it should be.
Developers will appreciate the attention to detail and users will have no idea, but they won't be sick and won't have headaches or eyestrain. The last thing you want is a user to leave your experience with simulator sickness.
So let these documents guide your development process and if you decide to stray away from the path set before you by Oculus, make sure you understand why it's not recommended to do it that way and try to minimize any negative effects.
3. Set up your development environment
This seems very straight forward but it can be a huge pain. Oculus has had compatibility issues with Unity 5 since it was first released and although it has since been sorted out, you need to make sure that the versions of the mobile SDK and Unity are compatible.
Many people have reverted back to Unity 4.6.3 and Mobile SDK version 0.5.0.1 or earlier and plan on using that environment until their current projects are completed. Unity 5.1 and Mobile SDK 0.6.0.1 seem to have most of the bugs fixed and developers are slowly starting to port over content, but you have to decide what is right for you and ensure that the pairing you choose works.
4. Get your project settings right
Getting your project settings right early on will save you a big headache down the road. You don't want to be at the end of a project tearing stuff out to get the required frames per second and realize that all you needed to do was change one or two things in the quality settings.
The Mobile SDK comes complete with a project settings folder that has almost all the recommended settings.
Just copy this from the Mobile SDK folder into your project folder and all that digging and manually changing every little setting is done for you.
Of course this isn't a fix-all. You should still become familiar with these settings and know enough about them that you can troubleshoot bottlenecks if you have to.
5. Set up your test environment
Setting up your test environment is extremely important to the success of your application. You will always need to know where you stand, what you can and can't get away with adding, and when and where you need to cut back.
One very useful thing for testing is being able to run your application outside of the Gear VR headset. I have never actually used this feature but I've read about it in the mobile docs. On those long days of testing an app running around 45-50 frames per second where I was feeling the headaches and eyestrain coming on, I wish I had taken the time to set this up.
I recommend setting up a wireless debugging bridge. All you have to do is download ADB (it should come standard with android studio now) and a wireless ADB app such as ADB Wireless on your phone.
Simply follow the instructions in the app and once you're connected to your phone use
adb logcat –s "UnityPlugin" to get a printout of the frames per second of any Unity application.
You live and die by this number. Keep in mind that 58 or 59 frames per second is 60 frames per second, it will never actually say 60, and the overhead of wirelessly connecting with the ADB will account for the reading of 58.
But anytime you see this number drop below 58 or 59 frames per second, it should be treated as an emergency.
6. Build well under the limits
Just because you know that you can have up to 100 draw calls and 100k triangles it doesn't mean you should use all of them.
Early on especially, you should aim well below these limits. Currently there is a problem with the Note 4 and the Android Lollipop operating system causing each draw call to take 20% more time than normal. This effectively reduces the number of draw calls you can have to around 80 and is definitely something you need to consider since many of the devices currently being used for the Gear VR are Note 4's with Lollipop installed.
If you build it for the worst case scenario, it will run like a charm on every device that is more powerful. You should also build the basic scenes well below these guidelines and add anything not essential to the scene later on if you have some extra wiggle room.
7. Test early and often
If you have set up your test environment properly it shouldn't be a problem to build your application every time you make a few changes and test it.
Once you've got the core mechanics set up and you've finished combing through all the scripts optimizing and deleting any empty update functions, you should have a pretty good idea of how much you can add to your app.
It's at this point that you should start the process of make changes, build, test, repeat.
You should also take advantage of the Unity profiler. Run the application in the Unity editor and keep an eye on the batching statistics. It's the only way you will be able to create a compelling experience within these limitations.
8. Balancing act
Unless your experience is very simple, you will inevitably get to a point where adding one thing will make your app drop below 60 frames per second. This is when you need to consider the impact of every single object in your scene.
Is it necessary? How much does it add to the experience? Would the users experience by drastically worse if it wasn't included?
If you really want to keep something, you will have to remove something else or find way to make it more efficient by changing the shader or combining its mesh with other objects. This is where third party tools can be very useful.
9. Know your tools
I am a big fan of Simplygon which is a tool for optimizing meshes and textures. It does everything from reducing the number of triangles on a single object while preserving its appearance with a normal map, to combining textures into atlases and combining multiple objects into one mesh.
You can use 1 hour of processing time on their servers for free every month, but beyond that their pricing gets pretty steep.
Blender's decimate tool is a quick, easy, and free way to reduce the triangles of an object without having any prior knowledge of 3D modeling.
There are also countless tools available on the Unity asset store that combine meshes or create vertex coloured meshes, but those shouldn't be that hard to just write yourself.
10. Tricks of the trade
Take advice from developers that have gone through this process before you. I did hours of research and read countless developer blogs before jumping into my first Gear VR project.
The VR community is very tight knit and people will jump at the chance to share their knowledge with you. Read the forums, ask questions when necessary and you should have no problem finding someone willing to offer a helping hand as you start this journey.
In my next post I will be talking about specific problems we encountered while porting Yana Virtual Relaxation from PC to Gear VR, as well as my "solutions" (hacks, work arounds, and a few things I'm particularly proud of). Until then good luck and remember BEST PRACTICES!!!

The year 2009 held numerous happy times for the "elegant women" who make up MS NEW JERSEY SENIOR AMERICA PAGEANT. By reading past articles on this blog, one can get an idea of how hard the members worked all year long to make a difference in the lives of the people they reach.
The holiday season was no exception. Ladies in the NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB travelled to many parts of the State, giving Christmas and Hannukah shows. A special thanks to Rebecca Orsatti, whose repertoire included Hannukah songs. She lead the audience at the Congregation Oher-Shalom in Marlboro, in a fun sing-a-long. Rebecca is a professional singer and has appeared in Atlantic City casinos for many years. She has released a CD album of beautiful romantic ballads for easy listening, which is for sale, by calling her at: 609-344-7802.
After spending a relaxing vacation in Disneyworld with her family, Queen Bernadette Dudek returned home to resumed her schedule of appearances. The photo at the top was taken in November, and she is accompanied by, Johanne Santori, MS NEW JERSEY SENIOR AMERICA PAGENT DIRECTOR. Bernadette appeared for three days as hostess for the ATLANTIC CITY LEAGUE OF MUNICIPALITIES CONVENTION.
Bernadette shared a humorous story with her Cameo Club sisters lately. At a recent parade in Seaside, an ardent and overzealous male admirer, emerged from the crowd as she passed by and asked for her hand in marriage! She is so pretty, how could anyone resist her charm. Way to go, Bernadette!
Delores Puzio did an expecially outstanding job this year, holding two difficult positions: as President of NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB, she always kept members informed of news and events throughout the year(s); as director of NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB SHOWCASES, she arranged the shows all over the State. She continues serving as director of NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB SHOWCASES. Anyone wishing to book a performance please call her at: 732-270-8615.
Delores Puzio and the present slate of officers, including Lyn Gibson, Cathy Clark, and Doris Criscione have served NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB, admirably during the past 4 years. The installation of the slate of newly elected officers will be held on January 13, 2010. They are: Dale Maglia, President, Jo Ann Gordon, Vice-President, Agnes Traschetti, Secretary, and Joan Kaplan, Treasurer.
Johanne Santori, MS NEW JERSEY SENIOR AMERICA PAGEANT STATE DIRECTOR, has announced very exciting plans for the 2010 pageant, which will be a special 35th anniversary celebration, to held at Harrah's in Atlantic City, on June 3rd. Any lady who is interested in becoming a contestant should call her at: 609-822-7441.
Sherri McGhie continues to take great pictures and video clips of MS NEW JERSEY SENIOR AMERICA PAGEANT and SENIOR AMERICA events. Of particular interest at present are the video clips which can be viewed on http://www.youtube.com/user/Suggie002.
Our "sisterhood" is strong because of its loving members. May they "live long and prosper" in the coming year, and may they continue to bring joy and happiness wherever they go.

My husband's first day of Adult Day Care, he made friends with everyone. I can tell he doesn't have that emotional neediness and I don't have that emotional burden by leaving him doing nothing all day.
My grandmother likes it there. I have stopped by many times and her room has always been clean. They have been very good at relaying information and the nurses have taken very good care of her. I haven't had any problems getting any questions answered. The rooms are nice and they let her bring her own furniture and helped get it in the room the way she wanted it. The last time I visited she had 3 nurses/assistants in her room watching over her and all hugged and kissed her forehead before leaving.

Iasos[pronunciation?] or Iassos (Greek: Ἰασός or Ἰασσός), also in Latinized form Iasus, was an ancient Greek city in Caria located on the Gulf of Iasos (now called the Gulf of Güllük), opposite the modern town of Güllük, Turkey. It was originally on an island, but is now connected to the mainland. It is located in the Milas district of Muğla Province, Turkey, near the Alevi village of Kıyıkışlacık, about 31 km from the center of Milas.
Ancient historians consider Iasos a colonial foundation of Argos,[1] but archaeology shows a much longer history. According to the ancient reports, the Argive colonists had sustained severe losses in a war with the native Carians, so they invited the son of Neleus, who had previously founded Miletus, to come to their assistance. The town appears on that occasion to have received additional settlers.[2] The town, which appears to have occupied the whole of the little island, had only ten stadia in circumference; but it nevertheless acquired great wealth,[3] from its fisheries and trade in fish.[4] Iasos was a member of the Delian League and was involved in the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BC). After the Sicilian expedition of the Athenians, Iasos was attacked by the Spartans and their allies; it was governed at the time by Amorges, a Persian chief, who had revolted from Darius II. It was taken by the Spartans, who captured Amorges and delivered him up to Tissaphernes. The town itself was destroyed on that occasion. It became part of the Hecatomnid satrapy in the 4th century and was conquered by Alexander. We afterwards find it besieged by Philip V, king of Macedon, who, however, was compelled by the Romans to restore it to Ptolemy V of Egypt.[5] The mountains in the neighbourhood of Iasus furnished a beautiful kind of marble, of a blood-red and livid white colour, which was used by the ancients for ornamental purposes.[6] Near the town was a sanctuary of Hestia, with a statue of the goddess, which, though standing in the open air, was believed never to be touched by the rain.[7] The same story is related, by Strabo, of a temple of Artemis in the same neighbourhood. Iasus, as a celebrated fishing place, is alluded to by Athenaeus.[8] The place is still existing, under the name of Askem or Asýn Kalessi. Chandler (Travels in As. Min. p. 226) relates that the island on which the town was built is now united to the mainland by a small isthmus. Part of the city walls still exist, and are of a regular, solid, and handsome structure. In the side of the rock a theatre with many rows of seats still remains, and several inscriptions and coins have been found there.
It seems to have been abandoned in about the 15th–16th century, in the Ottoman period, when a small town was founded nearby named Asin Kale or Asin Kurin, in the sanjak of Menteşe within the vilayet of İzmir.
Preliminary research was done by the French archaeologist Charles Texier in 1835. A number of ancient Greek inscriptions were removed from the site which were later donated to the British Museum by the Duke of St Albans.[9] Since then, Iasos and the necropolis have been under regular scientific excavations on behalf of the Italian School of Archaeology at Athens by Doro Levi (1960–1972), Clelia Laviosa (1972–1984) and Fede Berti (1984–2011). From 2011 till 2013 the Director of Iasos excavations has been Marcello Spanu .
The site of Iasos has been settled continuously since the Early Bronze Age, covering Geometric, Hellenistic and Roman periods, through the Byzantine period. In early times, Iasos was influenced by the culture of the Cyclades islands. Outstanding remains in Iasos include an Artemis stoa and Roman villas.
Church history
Four of its bishops are known: Themistius in 421, Flacillus in 451, David in 787, and Gregory in 878 (Michel Le Quien, Oriens Christianus I:913). The see is mentioned in the Nova Tactica, 10th century (Heinrich Gelzer, Georgii Cyprii descriptio orbis romani, nos. 340, 1464), and more recently in the Notitiae Episcopatuum.
Iasus is listed among the titular sees of Caria in the Annuario Pontificio.[10]

text: Sprocket 1 Posted July 26, 2018 Apologies for my long silence, RL issues have kept me offline for quite a while. Have any of you noticed that Action Lab Entertainment (with Half Evil Comics & Rising Spirit Entertainment) has published an Aberrant comic book? There are 2 issues out as a digital release. The indica states that the copyright is held by Rylend Grant & Brainchild Enterprises, LLC (2018). Onyx Path is not mentioned at all AFAICT. WTH is going on here? Is this legit, or are they claim-jumping the Aberrant brand from Onyx Path? I'm very confused here, not to mention quite worried about how/if it will impede getting the Aberrant 2.0 RPG off the drawing board and published.

Business Strategy
I. WHAT IS STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT? A. Strategic management can be defined as the art and science of formulating, implementing, and evaluating cross-functional decisions that enable an organization to achieve its objectives. 1. The term strategic management is used synonymously with strategic planning.
2. The purpose of strategic management is to exploit and create new and different opportunities for tomorrow while long-range planning tries to optimize for tomorrow the trends of today. B.Stages of Strategic Management 1. The strategic-management process consists of three stages. a. Strategy formulation includes developing a vision and mission, identifying an organization's external opportunities and threats, determining internal strengths and weaknesses, establishing long-term objectives, generating alternative strategies, and choosing particular strategies to pursue. b. Strategy implementation requires a firm to establish annual objectives, devise policies, motivate employees, and allocate resources so that formulated strategies can be executed; strategy implementation includes developing a strategy-supportive culture, creating an effective organizational structure, redirecting marketing efforts, preparing budgets, developing and utilizing information systems, and linking employee compensation to organizational performance. c. Strategy evaluation is the final stage in strategic management. Managers desperately need to know when particular strategies are not working well; strategy evaluation is the primary means for obtaining this information. 2. Three fundamental strategy evaluation activities are provided below: a. Reviewing external and internal factors that are the bases for current strategies b. Measuring performance c. Taking corrective action
3. Strategy formulation, implementation, and evaluation activities occur at three hierarchical levels in a large organization: corporate, divisional, and functional. Smaller businesses may only have the corporate and functional levels. B. Integrating Intuition and Analysis 1. The strategic-management process can be described as an objective, logical, systematic approach for making major decisions in an organization. It attempts to organize qualitative and quantitative information in a way that allows effective decisions to be made under conditions of uncertainty. 2. Most people recognize that intuition is essential to making good strategic management decisions. Intuition is particularly useful for making decisions in situations of great uncertainty or little precedent. D. Adapting to Change 1. The strategic-management process is based on the belief that organizations should continually monitor internal and external events and trends so that timely changes can be made as needed. The rate and magnitude of changes that affect organizations are increasing dramatically. 2. By eliminating boundaries and speeding the flow of information, e-commerce and globalization are transforming business and society. 3. The need to adapt to change leads organizations to key strategic-management questions, such as, "What kind of business should we become?" "Are we in the right field?" "Should we reshape our business?" "What new competitors are entering our industry?" II. KEY TERMS IN STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT A.Competitive Advantage 1. Competitive advantage is defined as anything that a firm does especially well compared to rival firms. 2. Firms should seek a sustained competitive advantage by continually adapting to changes in external trends and internal capabilities and evaluating strategies that capitalize on those factors. 3. An increasing number of companies are gaining a competitive advantage by using the Internet for direct selling and for communication with suppliers, customers, creditors, partners, shareholders, clients, and competitors who may be dispersed globally.
B. Strategists 1. Strategists are individuals who are most responsible...

Lori Loughlin and other defendants in the college admissions case want a judge to throw out the cases and send prosecutors packing … because Lori and the others say the U.S. Attorney's Office is guilty … guilty of gross and shocking misconduct.
Lori, and others who have not copped a plea, laid out why it would be unfair to continue on the with the case. For starters, defense lawyers say authorities browbeat the ringleader in the case — Rick Singer. Singer initially told prosecutors the money he received from Lori and others were donations made payable to the university, but FBI agents wanted him to call the money bribes. Singer said they were not bribes — rather donations — and that's when he says an agent started screaming at him … ordering him to lie and say they were bribes.
And, Singer says, FBI agents told him to lie on recorded calls to obtain incriminating evidence against the parents.
There's a lot more. Prosecutors withheld this evidence for more than a year, this according to the legal docs, even though they were ordered to produce it.
Singer told agents his clients "typically do not know that [former USC official Donna] Heinel is involved until the time of their first payment." In other words, the clients thought it was legit.
And, the defense says the government recorded various conversations between Singer and various parents, but they claim this "was a sham carefully engineered by government agents in an effort to entrap defendants and "nail" them "at all costs."
In Loughlin's case, according to the docs, she made it clear she did not know the payments were bribes. In a recorded conversation, she says, "Yeah, no, no I — I had questions about USC. I was like, 'Well, maybe the way they got in you're not supposed to get in like that. I don't know, like can you,' but Moss [her husband] was like, 'No you can make a donation. It's ok,' like I don't know. Uh, yeah, I don't know. But it's all ob the up-and-up."
Short story … the defense says the government has lied, fabricated incriminating evidence and intentionally withheld evidence it was supposed to turn over that tended to show these were not bribes.
The defense wants the charges dismissed … or at the very least they want all the FBI recordings ruled inadmissible because they were allegedly obtained dishonestly.
