Fellow patriots, please listen to this short, inspiring message from General Flynn. General Michael Flynn exemplifies patriotism, courage, and love of God and country - despite some of his own countrymen relentlessly attacking him. Donations for his defense are greatly appreciated. If you can only give $5.00, please do so - every little bit helps. Thank you so much, and God bless. Letter from General Flynn.
It is an unpleasant truth to hear that babies are babies from conception and to terminate (kill) them is in fact the taking of innocent life. That means doctors, nurses, parents, pregnant females, consenting males, and hospital workers have blood on their hands. Health personnel who try to distance themselves from killing babies are like the pimp who declares he has nothing to do with prostitution.
It is an unpleasant truth to know that most public schools have turned out to be ignorance factories although taxpayers have dumped loads of money into them for more than a hundred years. Incompetent teachers teach inaccurate curricula to inattentive students producing incredible results. Obviously, America's public schools are failing when the average U.S. college freshman reads at a seventh grade level, according to an educational assessment report. Furthermore, an investigation of six Baltimore schools revealed that not a single student passed the state's proficiency test in the subjects of math and English!
It is an unpleasant truth to know that our universities have been taken over by barbarians with Ph.Ds. Professors seem to think that they have a license to promote the most outrageous things without regard to truth, common sense, the Bible, the law, and university rules.
It is an unpleasant truth to know that the movies, music, and moguls of the media are controlled by lowlifes who will do anything for ratings and resultant power and money.
It is an unpleasant truth to know that professional sports have been hijacked by brutes without brains and are a deplorable example for everyone, especially the youth.
It is an unpleasant truth that homosexuals don't exist, only heterosexuals that reject common sense, refuse biblical truth, and repeat the horrific sins of Sodom resulting in His judgment. They defiantly tell anyone who will listen that they were "born that way"; however, that is a fairy tale. They tell us they cannot change but, of course, numerous former homosexuals have been converted and are living normal, decent, and productive lives.
Moreover, if homosexuals can't change, how can pedophiles change? Of course, that is where we are going and I predict that child molestation will no longer be a crime! Furthermore, if Bruce Jenner can change then why can't homosexuals change?
It is an unpleasant truth that transgenders are not people with the wrong genitalia but have a warped, confused mind. There is no such thing as a female in a male's body or the other way around–except when a woman is pregnant with a male child. Moreover, physicians who chop off children's body parts or who give altering hormones to children are detestable child abusers.
It is an unpleasant truth to know that same sex "marriage" is not marriage at all and is, in fact, a rejection of millennia of a legal and biblical foundation for the family and an act of perversion that is repulsive to sane people requiring the judgment of a sovereign God.
It is an unpleasant truth that adultery and fornication are terrible evils that most Americans are committing but do not believe they are sins and don't even try to justify them! It seems adultery and fornication are so common and have become "accepted" sins. Many Americans don't even know that a few years ago, Americans could go to jail for those sins of immorality.
- K. Chesterton wrote in 1926, "It has been left to the very latest Modernists to proclaim an erotic religion which at once exalts lust and forbids fertility. The next great heresy is going to be simply an attack on morality, and especially on sexual morality." Bingo! We're there now and those of us who speak out against it are called haters, narrow-minded, holier-than-thou,etc., and those are the nicer names we are called!
It is an unpleasant truth that humans don't have to be mastered by their sexual desires and feelings as are animals.
It is an unpleasant truth that not all church members, even those who are "good" people, are going to Heaven since Christ said that no one would be there unless they trusted in Him and His saving power.
I would rather have truth in hate than error in love but I strive for truth in love. Unpleasant truth is not always hate speech.

Zhanna Ismagilova is a jazz/pop singer from a very beautiful medieval city of Tallinn, Estonia. As a child she was noticed at an audition and asked to join a girls choir. Urge to sing leads her later to a vocal group, so she travels across the country with shows and concerts already as a group member, but the will of knowing the theory of music becomes stronger and Zhanna enters a piano department at a local music school. Later she finishes also G. Ots Music College, classical piano department. At the moment she has a degree of Master Of Arts in Education gotten in Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre. During her studies in there she attended numerous masterclasses and came across some significant people who showed her the world of jazz. She studied also in G. Ots Music College in a jazz/pop singing department. Alongside her studies in Estonia she also studied in the Netherlands in the Prince Claus Conservatorium where she met a lot of jazz musicians from all over the world and participated in masterclasses led by world's famous musicians such as JD Walter, Joris Teepe, Don Braden and others.
Zhanna performed on the stages of Estonia, Netherlands, Germany, Portugal etc.
The repertoire of Zhanna includes various styles such as bossa nova, latin jazz, smooth jazz, blues, swing, funk, pop, reggae and many more.
For many listeners she is associated with rhythms of latin music, because that is the style she enjoys both singing and dancing. Furthermore, even one of Zhanna's projects from Estonia carries Spanish name: Sonrisa Jazz Trio (in translation 'Sonrisa' means 'Smile').[:]

Crash on 26.5 and G Road Leads to Two Arrests #GVCopBeat
The Grand Junction Police Department was called to respond to a two vehicle crash on 26.5 and G road earlier this afternoon. The roadway is now open and only minor injuries were sustained.
Two subjects had already fled the scene upon arrival, but were later apprehended after officers searched the area.
27-year-old Timothy Stapleton was taken into custody and is pending booking at the Mesa County Jail for an arrest warrant, possession of methamphetamine and various weapons charges.
40-year-old Kolby Wright was a passenger in Stapleton's car and also fled the scene. He was taken into custody for an arrest warrant.
The use of illegal drugs at the time of the crash is suspected.
Previous information regarding the crash on 26.5 and G Road can be found here.
One thought on "Crash on 26.5 and G Road Leads to Two Arrests #GVCopBeat"
Which car were they in, the Ford or the Chevy? And how much meth was found? Where were they found after fleeing the scene? Was anyone taken to the hospital?

Any system that helps consumers make healthier choices is clearly a good thing. However, now that the controversial traffic-light labelling system is to be finally introduced after years of wrangling between food brands, supermarkets and health campaigners, how it is implemented will be crucial to the future of many brands.
After all the main supermarket chains, including Tesco, Sainsburys and Waitrose, and some of the biggest producers of snack foods, such as PepsiCo and Nestlé finally agreed on the new system with health ministers, traffic-light coded food labels will be introduced for most groceries in the UK. The product labels will be coloured red, amber or green, depending on its level of saturated fat, sugar or salt content.
Our research with consumers clearly shows that we don't read packaging in a rational way, because it's in our nature to be driven by irrational, emotionally-based decisions.
Gü, for example, package their chocolate desserts with rich colours and seductive photography. Rationally, we're buying a chocolate pudding – but, irrationally, what we buy into is an experience, an image, a statement about treating oneself, none of which actually comes in the box.
This irrational mindset is especially dominant during the relatively mundane chore of doing the grocery shopping. People browse supermarkets seemingly on autopilot, seldom fully engaging with or really reading packaging information before dropping it into the trolley. We don't want to invest the time or energy to properly engage, so we buy with our heart, not our head.
Therefore, previous nutritional information systems, such as the guideline daily amount (GDA), have largely failed because they were relying on lists of rational numbers and percentages that require a degree of commitment, effort and time to comprehend. In this respect, the traffic light colour system has the chance to be more successful, as it taps into pre-existing semiotic codes (consumers will easily and quickly recognise that red equals bad and green equals good), and therefore offers a more intuitive, emotional approach.
It's not perfect, though, and there is still scope for it to be misleading. Critics have argued it is overly simplistic. For example, a tinned soup could appear healthy if its traffic lights show mostly green lights and only one red, but in reality that red could represent a mass of salt – meaning it's actually very unhealthy.
In addition, the ramifications for the grocery industry could be widespread: not only will designers need to think how best to integrate a multicoloured block into their carefully crafted packaging designs, but marketers will need to consider the broader implications for their brands.
For instance, brands that have previously positioned themselves as healthy may be challenged on whether their product credentials can support the claims.
Sunny Delight is a classic example of how closer scrutiny of a product exploded the myth that it was healthy. I'd be surprised if any marketers would make this level of error again, but even subtle health claims are more likely to come under the microscope once the traffic lights are introduced.
It will also be interesting to see how the new labels impact on sales of brands in the "treat" categories. Consumers know that a double chocolate fudge cake isn't exactly healthy, but when the pack is plastered with a block of red traffic lights, that message will really be hammered home.
However, it's difficult to imagine any reprieve for brands who have opted out, such as Coca Cola, Cadbury and Kellogg. Although they may benefit from not having the (potentially negative) message on pack in the short term, they may eventually run the risk of looking like they've got something to hide.
Nevertheless, if the new system is handled sensibly and prompts consumers to engage more with nutritional information, while encouraging marketers to be more rigorous in ensuring health claims can be substantiated, it ultimately has to be a good thing.

VouchedFor has revealed the UK's most well-liked IFAs, based on those with the highest number of positive reviews from clients on its website.
Taking the top spot was Anthony Villis, managing partner at London-based First Wealth, who secured the most favourable feedback to pull away from the rest of the top IFAs with positive reviews within the last two years.
Advisers had to receive at least 28 reviews of 4 stars or more to qualify for entry in the list of top 250 UK advisers. They were also required to be using VouchedFor's paid-for service, Professional Plan.
This is a membership plan costing £45 per month, with the Lite plan allowing advisers to be contacted up to five times a quarter, and the Professional plan incurring an additional charge each time an enquirer makes contact, with no limit how many times the adviser can be contacted.
Hearing the news through FTAdviser just before leaving on holiday on Friday, Mr Villis, who works with a staff of 17 including five advisers, said he was delighted his clients had recommended him.
"Great financial planning can change your life! We exist to inspire ideas, create confidence and give you the freedom to live," he said.
Another well-known name in the top 10 was Jeremy Askew, managing director of Town Close Financial Planning.
He commented: "It's testament to the excellent service the team has provided. We're looking forward to getting even better."
Mr Askew said the company is moving to larger premises in Loughton as part of expansion plans which has seen it take on a compliance director and office manager, with a fully-qualified adviser and trainee next on the agenda.
He said: "From a back bedroom and zero clients 30 months ago, we've expanded to £50m under advice and four permanent, including me, one part-time staff and three contractors. Revenue is up 50 per cent in the last 12 months."
Also in the top ten were Neil Gilbourne from 3R Financial Services; Peter Emery from Emery IFA; Philip Hanley from Philip James Financial Services; Carl Melvin from Affluent Financial Planning; Andrew Finnie from Border Finance; Alan Powell from Elite Wealth Management; Paolo Standerwick from MLP Wealth Management; and Phil O'Connor from Whitewell Financial Planning.
VouchedFor said its top 250 list heralded a new era of transparency within the financial industry, giving great advisers the chance to demonstrate their value.
The full VouchedFor list, featured in the Sunday Times yesterday (10 April), gives details of the advisers' local area, specialisms and number of reviews for a total of 875 professionals, including 250 IFAs, 250 mortgage advisers, 200 accountants and 175 solicitors.
Adam Price, founder of VouchedFor, said: "For years prospective clients have been in the dark about the quality of a professional's work from their clients' perspective. With the VouchedFor guide, both consumers and advisers can discover which professionals have the happiest clients."

I think we have to first have to define the difference between prejudice and racism. Prejudice — holding negative beleifs about a group of individuals, and assuming individuals share these characteristics
Racism — the social mechanisms (prejudice, disadvantaging, outright attacks) by which social power is differentiated for groups, and through the dissemination of which a group gains and maintains social dominance
Scenario 1: "Whatever"
Is it discrimination that someone should not distinguish between Taiwan and China, or only politics?
If sb can't tell the difference between Chinese, Japanese, Korean, is that racism? Unfamiliarity? Laziness?
Is it the same or different situation if, for instance, a Taiwanese person would be like, "Oh, Polish, Russian, it's about the same?"
Would a Taiwanese person say that though?
Scenario 2: "Chopsticks"
What are the assumptions behind this kind of question:
—personal cultural preference?
—level of exposure to outside cultures?
—competence/incompetence in cultural norms?
Do assumptions/intentions behind actions matter?
Or the feelings resulting from the actions?
Which matters more?
Scenario 3: "Ping Pong"
Is assuming a behaviour or predilection discriminatory? Or just ignorant?
Is using a cultural stereotype to make fun of sb just ignorant or actively hateful?
Are all cultural stereotypes equally harmful? Are some okay?
Scenario 4: "Drop a Spoon"
When is it okay to tell jokes that make fun of other peoples' culture or other cultural groups' behaviour?
When people make assumptions and bring up topics like this that make you uncomfortable, when is it better to challenge it, and when is it better to let it go? (hint: your answer is going to be influenced by the assumptions of your current cultural millieu)
Also, if you go about challenging what is said, what is the best way to challenge the assumptions of the people around you?
Finally, let's discuss this quote:
Prejudice is an emotional commitment to ignorance.
—Nathan Rutstein

iPad is everywhere, in business and homes. There are thousands of smart devices now that help make your life better like smart door locks, smart lighting and even digital music systems. All these devices come to life on your iPad screen where you can control them as you desire. We believe there should be an easy way to place your iPad on a wall, making it always charged and always available. Turn your iPad into a smart touch controller with Surface Mount: the elegant frame that allows you to integrate iPad onto any surface. Learn more by watching the video below.
Install iPad in a snap.
Installing iPad into the Surface Mount bezel is a 'snap', literally. Just place iPad into the bezel and snap in the tabs, that's it. While installed, you can still control the iPad power button by using the power button extension port on the side of the bezel. You can even utilize iPad's speaker and microphone while installed in the bezel.
Use any wall box worldwide; install in any orientation.
The Surface Mount system gives you true flexibility when installing iPad on a wall. The mounting bracket can be positioned in any orientation on top of any wall box. This is helpful if trying to align the Surface Mount with other objects above or below on the wall, or if trying to cover a hole from an older device. And our specialized screws are 1 part anchor, 1 part screw, minimizing the amount of work required to affix the mounting bracket onto the wall. We thought hard to make it easy... so you don't have to.
A tiny device with a lot of possibilities.
Meet the iPort PoE Splitter, a tiny device that can fit into any wall box, worldwide. Connect Cat-5 or Cat-6 cable to the Splitter to receive power from a PoE (803.2af) power source like a PoE Network Switch, or connect low voltage wire to our 2-pin port from any 24V DC power source. Connect your iPad lightning cable to the USB port to provide up to 12W of power to iPad. You can even use the Splitter as a cable manager to wrap up excess iPad cable, making it easier to place the Splitter in a wall box. It's like origami, for your wires.
Hang iPad on the wall with the power of magnets.
Once you've placed iPad in the bezel, and wired your Splitter, the only thing left to do is snap your iPad-in-bezel onto the mounting bracket. This is done with the power of magnets. Simply place the Bezel above the mounting bracket and it snaps right into place. You can even utilize our security locks to make sure your iPad says put in busy places like offices or restaurants.

An appreciative poem
ELMSWELL – an appreciative poem
In the early part of April nineteen-thirty-one
My rambles took me to a spot, then lying in the sun,
A rural, inland village, though not unknown to fame,
Nine miles from ancient Bury, and Elmswell is its name.
A noble church stands on a hill, thus seen for many a mile,
'Twas built by monks of Bury in the perpendicular style.
Of stone and flint, the latter formed in patterns quaint and grand,
Designs that prove a clever mind, worked by a master hand.
A tall shaft marks a factory, close by the rail-road track,
A famous, busy industry where work is never slack;
Here English pigs are killed and cured (though Danish is the brand),
Prime hams and bacon soon are made and broadcast o'er the land.
This village boasts of Royalty, for there are several "Kings",
"Millers" and "Bakers", "Cooks" and "Pyes" with other goodly things,
And "Flowers" perennial bloom here – "Warrens" contain no rabbits,
Still "Hares" abound and "Greens" are found, and those who form our habits.
A famous name is "Walpole", as history records,
And titled folks are in our midst as there are several "Lords".
"Nunns" flourish here though not confined within a convent's walls,
And "Friends" watch o'er our interests to see no harm befalls.
A "Bishop" holds benignant sway, though minus "See" and lands,
While "Sturgeon", "Pike" and "Salmon" thrive far from sandy strands.
We hold our "Faires" the whole year round, custom is good each day;
"Foreman" has served his country and thus deserves his pay.
"Rubys" and "Pearls" are jewels, of these we own a few,
Of "Spencers' " "Boots" we have no store, but "Hoods" both old and new.
Now come and visit Elmswell, by 'plane, rail, 'bus or car,
There is but little in this place your happiness to mar.
Written (probably in the 1940-50's) by
A Robinson, "East View", Ashfield Road, Elmswell, Suffolk
(formerly "Arundel Villa", then occupied by the Shaw family)

Ever since the recent financial crash and the economic crisis that followed, we have been living in far more volatile economic times. Last year was considered to be especially volatile with rising geopolitical tensions leading to: currency fluctuations, cost inflation for goods and services and volatility in accommodation prices. The knock-on effects of this can be felt within the talent management sphere, particularly in the relocating of talent nationally and internationally.
Hiring professionals need to have a firm grasp on the cost of living scenarios within their key national or global hiring destinations, as it is changing dramatically, according to city, and is having a significant year-on-year impact on your talent pricing, budgeting and placement strategy. A city that was a viable place for talent last year might not be economically right this year and vice versa.
And one way you can stay on top of the key cost of living changes for major cities with a view as to how they might affect starting salaries and relocation packages is the 2014 Mercer Cost Of Living survey, which I have reviewed and commented on in the context of hiring below.
London, you cannot be serious…
One of the first areas which drew my attention had to be the UK, which saw some extreme rises in the cost of living in specific cities. Are you planning to hire or send talent to London? Then you may need to up your budget, because in one year this has zoomed from the 25th most expensive city in the world to the 12th, thanks largely to massive increases in house prices which grew by a record 25 percent over the past year. Other fast rising cities to watch out for in the UK, but which are thankfully starting from a more modest cost base, are Birmingham (moving from 135 to 90), Glasgow (157 to 108) and the oil rich Aberdeen (moving from 128 to 94).
German cities have also seen some sharp rises in the cost of living with Munich (55) jumping 26 places, Frankfurt (59) climbing 24 places and Berlin rising 31 places.
New York never sleeps
The U.S. takes about 50 percent of all global expats, according to a Hiring Lab survey, and so the hiring climate in American cities will be of worldwide relevance. The U.S. dollar has been stable against other major currencies, which has led to many U.S. cities rising on the rankings for most expensive city. Rental price rises in New York pushed it from 16th place to 8th place. Los Angeles jumped 10 places to 62 and San Francisco (start-up country) has climbed 18 places. Boston, Cleveland, Miami all climbed up the rankings. So, expect upward price pressures on salaries and expatriate programs in these locations versus last year to meet the sharp rise in cost of living.
Asia Pacific moving further out of reach?
Let's not forget Asia Pacific, another popular destination for expatriates and international hiring initiatives. The already expensive Hong Kong (3) and Singapore (4) climbed 3 and 1 places, respectively. So, these locations will be even more challenging to hire in than they were last year from a compensation point of view.
So, there you have it; these are the biggest climbers in terms of cost of living of the key global recruiting destinations. You can find more information about this and see who the biggest fallers are too on the Mercer Cost of Living survey press release.

C Corporations will be allowed a six-month extension, except that calendar year corporations would get a five-month extension until 2026 and corporations with a June 30 year end would get a seven-Month extension until 2026. The new due dates will apply to returns for tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2015. However, for C corporations with fiscal years ending on June 30, the new due dates will not apply until tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2025.
2- Form 1065, U.S. Return of Partnership Income, the new due date is 15th day of the third month of the following year. For calendar-year partnerships, the date is March 15th day of the following year. A maximum of six-month extension will be allowed. Currently, these returns are due on April 15th.
3- Form 3520, Annual Return to Report Transactions With Foreign Trusts and Receipt of Certain Foreign Gifts, is due April 15 of the following year with a maximum extension of six months. This Form is filed separately and is not part of the regular tax return.
4- Foreign Bank Account Report (FBAR), also known as Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts, Form FinCEN 114 (formerly TD F 90-22.1), the due is April 15th, and the act allows an extension of six months through October 15th. Under the current law, the due date for filing Form FinCEN 114 is June 30th of the following year and no extensions allowed. It is required to be e-filed since July 1, 2013, even the prior years' FBARs.
5- Form 3520-A. Annual Information Return of a Foreign Trust With a U.S. Owner. The act allows a six-month extension.
6- Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts, allows an extension of 5 1/2 months.
7- Form 5500, Annual Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan, allows an extension of 3 1/2 months.
8- Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax. An extension of six months allowed.
9- Form 4720, Return of Certain Excise Taxes Under Chapters 41 and 42 of the IRC. An extension of six months allowed.
10- Form 5227, Split-Interest Trust Information Return. An extension of six months allowed.
11- Form 6069, Return of Excise Tax on Excess Contributions to Black Lung Benefit Trust Under Section 4953 and Computation of Section 192 Deduction. An extension of six months allowed.
12- Form 8870, Information Return for Transfers Associated With Certain Personal Benefit Contracts. An extension of six months allowed.
13- Information of filing Form 1098-Mortgage Interest. Section 6050H is amended to require new information on the mortgage information statements that are required to be sent to individuals who pay more than $600 in mortgage in a year. These statements will now be required to report the outstanding principal on the loan amount at the beginning of the calendar year, the address of the property securing the loan, and the mortgage origination date. This change applies to returns and statements due after Dec. 31, 2016.
14- Home Concrete case overruled. In Home Concrete & Supply, LLC, 132 S. Ct. 1836 (2012), the US Supreme Court held that the IRS six-year statute of limitation under Section 6501(e) (1) (A), which applies when a taxpayer "omits from gross income an amount properly includible" in excess of 25% of gross income, does not apply when a taxpayer overstates its basis in property it has sold. The act amends Section 6501(e) (1) (B) to state: "An understatement of gross income by reason of an overstatement of unrecovered cost or other basis is an omission from gross income." This means that understatement of income with respect to application of the 25% rule is the same even if caused by overstatement of the basis of property sold. This applies to tax returns filed subsequent the date of enactment as well as previously filed returns that are still open under this section.
15- Basis reporting between estates and beneficiaries. The new law amends Sec. 1014 to require beneficiaries inheriting from a decedent show the same basis reported by the estate tax return Form 706. It also creates a new Sec. 6035, which requires executors responsible for filing the Form 706, report the basis included in 706 to the IRS and all beneficiaries.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed
Have you ever seen a contemporary of yours who has rocketed to success – seemingly out of the blue – and wondered how they did it?
One of the myths I want to dispel with this podcast and my blog is that there's such a thing as a sudden overnight success.
I think so often people like to think becoming an overnight success is really possible because they like to think there's an easy button.
The truth is behind almost every "overnight success" you will find years and years of effort behind the scenes when no one was watching.
That's the case with Michael O'Neal.
Michael is the founder of the Solopreneur Hour, a podcast he launched in 2013.
When he launched the podcast, it was an instant success, and people said he was an overnight success.
But the truth was, he actually had spent years training for it.
In this episode, he shares his story in this episode of how years of being a musician and a performer and of helping other successful podcasts behind the scenes really were the reason why the Solopreneur Hour was so successful right off the bat.
It was not dumb luck. It was consistent, focused action.
You don't often see or hear about these types of stories so that's why I was happy to share it.
This episode of the Smart Business Revolution podcast is brought to you byAweber email marketing software.
I've been using Aweber for a number of years now and I can say Aweber is one of the biggest engines behind my growth.
As my email list has grown, there is a direct correlation to my business revenue increasing. It allows me to communicate and build relationships at scale. It has diversified my revenue and my revenue is increasing.
Right now they have a completely free trial so you can try it out free for 30 days.

Hi guys, today I am delighted to be sharing with you some Kind Zen Florals.
As you know by now, the whole team at Honey Bee Stamps is coming together to celebrate the much beloved 30 Day Coloring Challenge hosted by Kathy Racoosin and her blog The Daily Marker!
There seems to be such a warmth and kindness surrounding the Color Challenge and it is the inspiration behind the making of this card.
One of my favourite colouring mediums, and probably what I use the most is Copic markers. I did use Copics for today's card but some of the ideas behind the colouring challenge, is for you to have a go at using many different colouring mediums throughout the month. You will see other mediums being used by my team colleagues each day so stay tuned.
As you will see in the pictures below, I started off by stamping out the large image from the Zen Floral stamp set by Honey Bee Stamps. I also added a smaller image to accent the large one. For the flowers, I alternated between reds and pinks using Copic markers #R20, R22, R35 & R37. For the leaves I used #G24, G40 & G94.
Using the sentiment Kind from the Kindness stamp set also by HBS, I added this at an angle for interest. In the set there are many words to go with the bold words, so you could take your pick of what you wanted to write.
To bring the card together, I cut some strips of co-ordinating cardstock and edged off the left side to continue with the bold theme colors. Then, to finish I added to foam to the back and matted it onto a black card base.
I love the boldness of this card and the way the colors pop.
Why dont you give the challenge a go, its not too late to start 🙂

Bamurru Plains
Bamurru Plains – Wild Bush Fishing – Top End NT
The Top End of Australia is renowned for its spectacular coastal floodplains, billabongs and mangrove fringed tidal rivers that empty into the Arafura Sea. Each year in the 'wet season', usually January to March, the floodplains are replenished with the monsoonal rains and the flora, fauna and fish of the Top End spring to life…
Bamurru Plains – NT
In addition to its extraordinary natural beauty and prolific wildlife, this region boasts one of the world's great sports fish, the mighty Barramundi, both in the river systems and in the 'run off' on the floodplains.
The prime fishing seasons are in February to May with the 'run off' as the fresh floodwaters from the 'wet' flow off the floodplains into the tidal river and creek channels. Local fishing spots that are accessible from Bamurru Plains include Shady Camp, Corroboree Billabong and the Tommycut and Sampan Creeks.
The highlight for any fisherman at Bamurru, however, is fishing on the Swim Creek floodplain by airboat. The airboats are fitted with casting decks to maximize the experience of fishing the floodplain in spots that are only accessible by camp guests.
The camp has nine safari bungalows built amongst the pandanus vegetation on the edge of the wetlands. Each of them has been built with privacy uppermost in mind and to take advantage of the spectacular views across the wetlands. Each bedroom has views towards the floodplains. Rooms are available in twin and king double configurations and extra bedding is available in the form of a deluxe swag. En suite bathrooms wrap around one side and/or the rear of each safari bungalow with high pressure showers and hot water. All rooms have ceiling fans for the dry months of winter (April to October) and air conditioning can be provided in 3 rooms during the wet season months. As most of the power is solar generated, air-conditioning requires additional generator capacity and a surcharge applies.
The Main Camp
A style of accommodation more akin to some of the safari camps in Africa, Bamurru Plains' attraction lies in the birdlife and wildlife of the surrounding floodplains and savannah woodland. As with the African camps we believe that a stylish wilderness experience does not need to be 5 star in the traditional sense; however there are key elements that are crucial to an exclusive stay in the bush: a supremely comfortable bed and quality linen (100% cotton, a choice of 3 pillows), great bathrooms, good food & wine and excellent guiding. Bamurru does not purport to be a 5 star room in the bush but the style of experience is utterly exclusive, rustically chic and totally in tune with the surrounding country. The focal point for dining and gathering with other guests, the lodge building has a quieter library area with reference books and some privacy from the more communal areas in the rest of the building, which includes the dining area. The front deck features a BBQ firepit area, a wet edge swimming pool with views across the floodplains and a covered lounge area for sitting out the heat in the middle of the day.
The best fishing months occur at the end of the wet season when the water on the floodplains start receding. The "run-off" results in vast quantities of smaller fish, frogs, insects and crabs being drained into the main channels. The Barramundi congregate at these run-off locations and fishing these waterways at this time of the year can produce some excellent catches for the ready anglers. Bamurru Plains is a dedicated fishing lodge from 01 February through to 30 April.
Boating Equipment
The Airboat Fleet at Bamurru Plains have been built to specifications that comply with the 'Marine Park Damage Rules' with the aim to achieve a minimal environmental footprint. The environmental friendly features include no fuel emissions in the water, a low bank-wash and the noise issue, which has been addressed with Prop & Exhaust attenuation. The three airboats have aptly been named after the manufacturers.
Fishing Equipment
A full selection of quality fishing gear is provided on-board all of the boats. The use of this equipment is included in the fishing charter rates on a replace if lost or broken basis. If you prefer, you can bring along your own equipment. Anglers who prefer to bring their own rods and are flying to Bamurru Plains, there is a maximum rod tube length which must not exceed 200cm or 6'6″.
What You Can Catch
Fishing is predominantly tidal salt-water fishing with the main species to be fished here is Barramundi. Other species to be caught are threadfin salmon and freshwater saratoga.
Getting There
Air Access
The best access from Darwin is by a 20 minute private charter flight by light aircraft. The 20 minute charter flight from Darwin covers some of the most spectacular wetlands in the world and lands at Swim Creek Station Airstrip. A staff member of Bamurru Plains will be there to greet you and transfer you by road to the Lodge which is a journey time of 20 minutes.
We can arrange single engine aircraft, helicopter or private 4WD road transfers.
Road access
From Darwin, the journey to Bamurru Plains is a 3 hour drive (the first hour and three quarters is on sealed tarmac road, the last hour and a quarter are on unsealed public and station roads). When you arrive at the property, a staff member will escort you to a suitable location to park the vehicle. You will then be transfer to the lodge by 4WD for the remainder of the journey.

Look here: advice of how to setup VAS6154 Clone ODIS Windows 10
The VAS6154 Clone is a crappy VCXNano which emulates a VAS5054. So if you install ODIS you have to select VAS5054… It has nothing to do with an VAS6154.
What you can do now:
Remove whole ODIS-S and if installed ODIS-E and everything called VAS or I+ME Actia installation, remove VCX Nano (Fake VAS6154 Drivers and Software),
over Software in System Settings, then reboot.
Remove Folders in C:\Program Files(x86) and C:\Program Files from ODIS-Engineering/Service, I+ME Actia, Softing, VCX Nano Software(e.g VAS?).
Then you can restart installation, don't install ODIS-Engineering it will not work with this Fake VAS6154, you can not flash with it, you will fail.
Also use Windows 7 for ODIS 4.3.3 or 5.0.6. – In Win10 you can not choose anymore VAS5054 Interface in 5.0.6 Setup, maybe also missing in 4.3.3 Setup.
Install first ODIS-Service, select Standard Notebook/PC, Interface : VAS5054, completely with Launcher. After that install the VCX Nano(Fake 6154 Software and Drivers) and after that Start ODIS-Service and install Postsetup. Then it should work.
When you don't remove the Software of the Fake 6154 Clone, you will run into the same problems as now. Once I had to install ODIS-S 2 times, because i didn't remove the software of this VAS6154 Fake.
Thank you.

Is the Modern School System a Betrayal to Education?

Sigma SD1 Merrill Review
We were really excited to get hold of the Sigma SD1 Merrill, it's a lovely camera to hold and you can feel the workmanship that's gone into it. The magnesium alloy body ensures rigidity and the weather sealing means you don't have to rush out of the rain. We like the colour rendition of the sensor and can't fault the low ISO images for smoothness, sharpness and - frankly - noise free performance. Given the right lens, we think that the SD1 Merrill would be able to pick out every pore on a model's face and get the colours and contours of the skin bang on.
There are a few underlying issues with the SD1 Merrill that we're disappointed with. The lack of live view was an issue when we were photographing the cars. We wanted a low angle but couldn't get our eye to the viewfinder comfortably and it shows. Live view would have helped us get the framing spot on.
We would love to see what the video capability of the new Foveon sensor is like but alas, the SD1 Merrill doesn't feature it. Our curiosity aside, more and more photographers, especially fashion photographers, are using video to bolster their portfolio of skill. Wedding photographers are also using video on a DSLR because it's convenient and the depth of field from the larger sensor is sublime. Sigma have missed a trick by not including it. It's also a shame that the sensor isn't full frame. However, we love the inclusion of a flash sync socket, it's a rarity these days and we also like the small interior technological advantages, namely the twin motors for the mirror and shutter curtain.
It's much easier to recommend the SD1 Merrill now that it has a realistic price tag - £1,840 / $1,900 undercuts its main rivals and the Foveon sensor is intriguing enough to justify consideration over Canon, Nikon et al. As it's a Sigma fit and there are currently no SAF adapters, anyone on another brand will have to buy all new glass, so that may sway you to stick with your current system if you;'ve already made investment. However, looking past the negatives, we would recommend it because it's a good camera that gives very good results.
If you're a studio photographer looking for mind bogglingly big files from a DSLR, you want a decent build, good colour performance, and you're not tied to a brand, then take a hard look at the Sigma SD1 Merrill. The pictures are very good after all and ultimately that's what's important, especially now that it won't (almost literally) break the bank.

Isn't it ironic that Twitter as a platform has hardly begun to generate revenue, whereas others who have exploited the platform, have made huge revenues off it. In a startling news, Dell has made a cool revenue of over $6.5 million over the past two years.. from TWITTER.
Dell has several Twitter accounts which they use to promote products and provide customer support to their customers.
It is really amazing that someone has made that much money off Twitter. However, where does Twitter stand? If you ask me, Twitter stands in a very very lucrative position, as it is their platform that has been making revenue for others, and considering that, it would not be hard for them to sign a $1 million deal with Dell or for that matter any big cash cow to use Twitter to promote their brands or products.
Though many may think of it as a revenue loss for Twitter, this revelation makes them more stronger than they ever were, and in a very ripe position to start monetizing their system and to sign on lucrative deals.
With Google going live with their Real-time search in collaboration with Twitter, think of how much influence a premium advertiser on Twitter could have on Twitter itself, and on search results too. Just post a hot deal, it will be promoted on Twitter and users searching for those products will see them as real-time search results.
I personally wish that this would turn into something that Twitter has always been longing for, after all it is simply not just about What you are doinganymore.
What do you think? Let us know about your thoughts.

Now that the general shape, the actuators (or motors) and the brain for the robot have been chosen, it is time to make things move.
The first question many beginners have when building their first robot is "how do I control the motors?" After a bit of research, the word motor controller comes up a lot.
A motor controller is an electronic device (usually comes in the shape of a bare circuit board without enclosure) that acts as an intermediate device between a microcontroller, a power supply or batteries, and the motors.
Although the microcontroller (the robot's brain) decides the speed and direction of the motors, it cannot drive them directly because of its very limited power (current and voltage) output. The motor controller, on the other hand, can provide the current at the required voltage but cannot decide how fast the motor should turn.
Thus, the microcontroller and the motor controller have to work together in order to make the motors move appropriately. Usually, the microcontroller can instruct the motor controller on how to power the motors via a standard and simple communication method such as UART (a.k.a. serial) or PWM. Also, some motor controllers can be manually controlled by an analogue voltage (usually created with a potentiometer).
The physical size and weight of a motor controller can vary significantly, from a device smaller than the tip of your finger used to control a mini sumo robot to a large controller weighing several Kg. The weight and size of a motor controller usually has a minimal impact on the robot, until you get into small robotics or unmanned aerial vehicles. The size of a motor controller is usually related to the maximum current it can provide. Larger current also means having to use larger diameter wires (the smaller the gauge number, the larger the diameter).
Since there are several types of actuators (as discussed in lesson 3), there are several types of motor controllers:
Motor controllers can only be chosen after you have selected your motors/actuators. Also, the current a motor draws is related to the torque it can provide: a small DC motor will not consume much current, but cannot provide much torque, whereas a large motor can provide higher torque but will require a higher current to do so.
Since standard hobbyist servo motors are meant to use specific voltages (for peak efficiency), most operate at 4.8V to 6V, and their current consumption is similar, the steps for the selection are somewhat simplified. However, you may find a servo motor that operates at 12V; it is important to do additional research about a servo motor controller if your servo motor is not considered "standard".
Also, most hobby servo motors use the standard R/C servo input (three wires which are ground, voltage and signal)
Linear actuators come in three main flavours regarding their control method.: DC, R/C, or position feedback.
Most DC linear actuators use a geared DC motor, so a DC motor controller is usually appropriate. However, some linear actuators take R/C servo input, so you would select a servo motor controller. Should an R/C controlled linear actuator operate at a higher voltage than the servo controller's range, the actuator may include separate wires for the higher supply voltage required.
Many "miscellaneous" electromechanical devices such as muscle-wire, solenoids, or even powerful lights need to be controlled using motor controllers. Below are some questions to determine if your actuator might need a motor controller:
For more information regarding actuator control and communications method, please visit the RobotShop Learning Center.
In the previous lesson, we had chosen the Solarbotics GM9 gear motors.
Below are this motor's specifications:
Given the above criteria, we are looking for a motor controller with the following specifications:
By Looking at the Brushed DC Motor Controllers Comparison Table (imperial version), several motor controllers fit the criteria:
There are a variety of other motor controllers which meet the criteria above which would work as well. In order to reduce this list, cost and features would need to be considered. For example, there is no need to consider a high current (10A) motor controller which is understandably more expensive than a 5A controller. We can also eliminate all single motor controllers. The one controller that stands out from the rest is RB-Pol-16 because of its lower voltage range; this means that, should we decide to power the motor at 3V, it would fall within this controller's voltage range. The other controller of interest is RB-Ada-02 because it is made specifically for the microcontroller we selected (i.e the Arduino Uno). However, the one downside to RB-Ada-02 is that no additional shields can be installed afterwards. The Pololu dual motor controller was ultimately chosen because of its lower voltage range and price.

In the fall of 2014, I took a few months off from my regular life in California and moved to Nice, France. I arrived at the airport with a fair knowledge of French and a perfect accent, but without knowing a single person or anything about the city. Over three months, I fell in love, made lifetime friends, barely spoke English, traveled the Côte d'Azur, and made memories that would stay with me for years.
I went back to Nice in January of 2017 with some of my friends, just to visit for a week. I loved retracing my regular jogging route, eating at my old favorite Vietnamese restaurant, and hanging at Wayne's bar. I realized that Nice would be one of those places that I always go back to.
I arrived in Cannes last night. My family and I took a train from Genoa, Italy, to Nice, and then took a connecting train to Cannes. Even being at the train station in Nice brought back feelings of pure joy and excitement. At the end of this week, my family and I will be back to spend a few days there.
I told my family that at some point in Nice, I'm going to need half a day to be alone and walk the city. I'll put my headphones on and play the songs I listened to then: Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, The Weeknd. The kind of music an 18-year-old girl listens to. I want to walk to my old apartment on Rue Barberis and sit at the old cafe by my house. I might even pop into Carrefour and think back on the hours I spent in those aisles when I was trying to teach myself how to cook.
My family and I are in Cannes for a few days, and then we go to Aix-en-Provence. My oldest sister was there for six months when she studied abroad and I've always wanted to visit that town so I could get a little peek into her world. We're even going to go out to the lavender fields while we're there.
After Aix, we go to Marseille. I plan on finding the Marseille branch of my favorite Parisian coffee shop, Cafe Loustic. We're also going to spend a day at the Calanques; the crystal-clear fjords, not far from Marseille. It's going to be surreal.
Because we have so much amazing things planned before Nice, I'm not really counting down the days. As the end of our trip approaches, I make mental notes to enjoy every moment, to avoid fighting with my sister, and to take photos of my family because this is trip is one that I will remember forever.

The Church of England has ruled that Prince Harry can marry his American actress girlfriend Meghan Markle at London's historic Westminster Abbey, despite her being both a divorcee and having a "Jewish background," the UK's Express newspaper reported on Sunday.
A Westminster Abbey spokesman said: "The Abbey follows the General Synod Ruling of 2002. Since then it has been possible for divorced people to be married in the Church of England."
The spokesman also confirmed that Meghan's ethnic background would not prevent her from having an "interfaith" marriage there.
The Daily Mail reported that "well-placed sources say the relationship is extremely serious, and that Meghan's invitation to Pippa Middleton's wedding is the ultimate endorsement, painting her as a potential princess."
The 35-year-old Markle — whose mother is African American and whose father is Dutch-Irish — has described herself as "half black and half white."
While the Express reported that her father is Jewish and that she once gave an interview in which she described herself as "a Jew," The Algemeiner was unable to find evidence to support that claim. Markle did, however, once tell Allure magazine that she might have been seen as "Sephardic" for casting purposes.
She was previously married to producer Trevor Engelson from 2011 to 2013 and the couple performed traditional Jewish celebrations at their wedding in Jamaica.

A lot goes into project management, including the utilization of leadership, delegation and communication skills. Even after years of experience, taking up a new project can be daunting. Sometimes all you need is a refresher course, reminding you of the vital PM basics. In this article we look at the 6 best project management books for the advanced project manager:
1. Brilliant Project Management: What the Best Project Managers Know, Do and Say By Stephen Barker
As aforementioned, ensuring the basics are covered is a sure-fire way to succeed. This book covers the basics in a very practical way. It is a simple read, but as an advanced PM, you want to keep this book near you. It can easily serve as a regular reference book, as it is written by an expert in PM. This is what makes it very special. It gives a completely fresh perspective.
2. Becoming the Boss: New Rules for the Next Generation of Leaders By Lindsey Pollak
You cannot really leave out leadership from PM. What makes this book stand out is that it trains you, the PM on how to train and handle a team of generation Y employees. This particular group may have a different viewpoint when it comes to working, and you need to find a way to train them for success. You get to understand what motivates them, how they communicate, and how to train them for success in the workplace.
3. Getting Things Done by David Allen
This is the book for PMs who literally became PMs by accident, or who find themselves leading a project in a field or industry they are unfamiliar with. The book defines what we may want to refer to as "PM jargon", frequently used PM terms that you need to be aware of.
4. The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg
This book focuses on identifying the habits that lead to success at an individual and corporate level and working towards strengthening them. This way, you weaken the habits that hinder success. If there is a habit that you need to develop as an individual or as a company, department or a team, then you also begin to work towards the same.
5. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Change by Stephen Covey
This is undoubtedly one of the best leadership books that every PM needs to read. You move from ingraining some habits into your own personality to working within a team, as an independent and interdependent person. You learn how to communicate effectively, leading through influence and not coercion, as well as planning in order to achieve a work-life balance. You learn decision making and prioritizing as well.
6. The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done by Peter F. Drucker
This is probably one of the oldest books that you will find on effectiveness. In this book, Drucker defines who an executive is for the first time. He also emphasizes that the effective executive is not born. Anyone can learn to be an effective executive. Through time management, one of the fundamental PM principles, he is able to teach what leads to successful PM. He touches on delegation, prioritizing, and policy making too.
All in all the above 6 best project management books for the advanced PM together form an all rounded PM. They cover the basics and other factors that influence project management, ranging from time management, personal effectiveness, and leadership. Keeping this reading list near you as a PM will help you succeed in your projects and your entire work life. Some principles are actually applicable even in your individual life.

new to Sony lenses
bs0604 posted a topic in Sony Alpha Full Frame LensesI currently have a Fujifilm xpro2 but I am thinking of getting the Sony a7RIV when it comes out. I am completely baffled looking at the Sony web site re lenses. A zillion choices. I would like an all purpose lens 18-135 mm or in that range, a wide angle lens, a telephoto (I currently have a 100-400 mm zoom for my xpro2) and a macro lens. I do mostly landscape photography but may want to get in to birds. I do a lot of traveling so want to be able to carry my equipment and while price is not of a great concern, I am not going to spend 10K on a telephoto lens. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (The reason I have not yet ventured in to Sony mirrorless land is because of negative reviews I have seen re the menu system)

Is hospice expensive?
Medicare Part A, Medicaid and also by most individual insurers cover hospice care. Hospice can actually remove some financial burden families or responsible parties, who may otherwise need to pay out-of-pocket for medications or equipment like beds or wheelchairs.

A repository of hinge-point questions?
As Dylan has explained hinge-point questions can be reusable between teachers in a way that lesson plans, tasks and activities are often not.
This re-usability means that, while writing effective hinge-point questions takes time and practice, there are great opportunities for STEM teachers to share the questions they have developed and collaborate to further improve them.
In this step we encourage you to share in the comments section hinge-point questions you have written (linking to your posts on the Padlet Wall as appropriate). We also ask you to reflect upon how your participation in this course, and your use of the questions, has helped you to further develop your skills.
A crowd-sourced collection of HPQs
In Step 3.13 you were encouraged to take on board any feedback from your peer learners and then share more polished questions via the Padlet Wall.
In this way we should have built a modest crowd-sourced repository of shared hinge-point questions (HPQs) for the benefit of all. Of course no guarantees can be given as to the quality of the HPQs but such a body of materials might form the basis of a more filtered subset of questions that have been quality assured.
The National STEM Learning Centre is actively exploring avenues by which such an 'HPQ Repository' might be created and developed in a sustainable way; the Diagnostic Questions site and Project Quantum introduced on Step 4.6 may be signposting the future direction of travel.
To stay in touch and/or participate in developments you may wish to bookmark this Community Resource on the STEM Learning website or to consider joining the Community Group dedicated to the discussion of HPQs that was established during the first run of this course.
