The ISIS threat in Sinai is not the Egyptian regime's most troublesome security challenge.
On July 1, the ISIS-affiliated group "Wilayat Sinai" engaged in a full-scale attack to capture Sheikh Zuweid in North Sinai—a town with 60,000 inhabitants. Although the Egyptian military was already on high alert to counter attacks on and around the second anniversary of the June 30 uprising, the assault was nevertheless disastrous from the perspective of the regime. Militants managed to seize control of the town for many hours and were pushed back only when Egyptian F-16 fighter jets began bombing inside civilian areas.
The number of casualties borne by the Egyptian military is still unknown, but judging by Cairo's efforts to prevent foreign reporters from stating the numbers, it was probably substantial. Many argue it was the largest-ever attack by Islamic militants on Egyptian soil.
Although the attack dealt a severe blow to the regime's efforts to project stability and was no doubt tragic, the ISIS threat in Sinai is not the most troublesome security challenge the regime currently faces. Unlike Iraq or Syria, Egypt is not a failed state. Despite the embarrassing failures it has recently suffered, the Egyptian military is relatively modern and organized and has successfully faced similar challenges in the past. It might take longer than originally planned, and similar attacks are likely to take place in the future, but eventually the ISIS threat in Sinai will be eliminated.
Already, the military has largely managed to contain the group's attacks to a relatively secluded area: the remote triangle between the towns of Al-Arish, Rafah, and Sheikh Zuweid—only 12 kilometers away from the border with Israel and far away from Egypt's heartland. Meanwhile, a new and much more complicated security challenge has taken shape over the past year, intensifying over the past six months.
Pinpoint attacks by local and relatively unknown Islamist groups bearing names like "Revolutionary Punishment" are spreading like wildfire throughout Egypt. Unlike "traditional" jihadist groups, these groups pick their targets carefully and wisely, refraining from deliberately killing civilians. They appear to operate based on an articulated strategy centered on the idea that sabotaging Egypt's economic recovery will eventually bring down the Sisi regime. Their targets range from electricity posts and public transportation to multinational corporations, as they hope to drive off potential (and existing) foreign investors the regime is desperately trying to attract.
Power cuts and service halts in strategic locations, as well as IEDs and drive-by shootings at branches of KFC, Vodafone, HSBC, Carrefour and elsewhere are now taking place on a weekly basis, seriously disrupting the daily lives of Egyptians and general business activity. Revolutionary Punishment alone has taken responsibility for more than 120 attacks since the beginning of the year.
The identity of these groups is, as of yet, largely unknown. Since the ousting of former President Morsi, the Sisi regime has engaged in an unprecedented crackdown against the Muslim Brotherhood and its supporters. After two years of crackdown, the Brotherhood in Egypt is crushed. The majority of its leaders are either abroad or in prison awaiting their death sentences. The mass protests in city centers and university campuses have largely been extinguished and the lobbying efforts in Western countries have borne no results.
However, the Muslim Brotherhood is a social movement deeply rooted in Egyptian and Arab society. One cannot simply eradicate it as if it were a fanatical jihadist group in Sinai or Mesopotamia. Millions of young Brotherhood supporters and Salafist activists are still out there. Frustrated by the Brotherhood's ineffective, nonviolent strategy, these radicalized youths are looking to get back at the regime. Pushed against the wall and motivated by increasingly popular "Facebook preachers," they see no other way but adopting violent, revolutionary tactics.
This backlash against the crackdown has presented the regime with a significant security challenge. The list of these groups' targets is virtually endless; on top of the economic targets mentioned above, the groups also attack other regime symbols such as the police, the judiciary and (recently) prosecutors—note the June 29 assassination of Hisham Barakat, Egypt's prosecutor general. These entities are perceived as the main perpetrators of the regime's crackdown, but moreover as those responsible for the massacre in Raba'a Square in August 2013.
The dispersed structure of these revolutionary groups makes it difficult to gather intelligence on their activities, especially given that they are an integral part of Egyptian society. Their recent successes have drawn more recruits to their ranks, most of whom do not perceive themselves as being part of global jihadist groups but rather as the defenders of the Egyptian people against what they perceive to be a corrupt military junta.
The regime is puzzled on how to tackle this rising challenge. Intensifying the crackdown will only push more young people to the ranks of these groups as part of the kill-or-be-killed dynamic the regime has created. A media campaign inciting the Egyptian people against the groups will only grant them the domestic and global attention the regime has been trying so hard to deny.
Unable to confront these groups on social media, and with security forces already stretched to the limit, a prolonged and steady state of low-scale insurgency is looming. Time is not on Sisi side. The public is gradually losing patience while waiting for the President's promises to be fulfilled.
A descent into semi-anarchy will serve as a devastating blow to Egypt's efforts to project stability and to its fragile and much-needed economic recovery. Sisi's legitimacy relies on his ability to improve the lives of average Egyptians; without legitimacy, the future of both Sisi and Egypt are bleak.

When tooth decay reaches the pulpy interior of a tooth, you may experience tooth pain or sensitivity to temperature. Root canal treatments can save severely damaged teeth and help you avoid extractions. Dr. Soumyata Heggade offers expert root canal treatments to clear decay from your teeth and seal them to prevent further decay at Springfield Smiles Family Dental in Springfield, Virginia. Call or schedule an appointment online today if you're experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity.
When decay reaches the pulpy interior of your tooth, it can damage the blood vessels and nerves that keep your tooth alive.
A root canal removes the decayed tissue from the interior of your teeth and seals your tooth to protect it against infection and further decay. Root canals can often save a tooth from extraction and protect your overall dental health.
The interior of your tooth can decay if you have a chip or a crack in the tooth that allows bacteria to get inside, if you have an injury that damages the inside of your tooth, or if you develop an abscess.
There may not be any exterior damage to your tooth, so if you have tooth pain or sensitivity, a dental exam and X-ray is the best way to diagnose damage or decay on the inside of your teeth.
Root canal treatment is similar to the process for filling cavities on the surface of your teeth. Dr. Heggade begins by thoroughly numbing the affected tooth and surrounding tissue. Then, she carefully drills into your tooth and removes any decayed tissue. She proceeds carefully, often stopping to check her progress, so she doesn't remove healthy tissue.
Once all the decayed tissue is removed, Dr. Heggade fills your tooth and seals it with materials similar to those used to fill surface cavities.
If your tooth is very damaged or weakened from the root canal, she may suggest fitting a dental crown to provide additional support and strength to your tooth.
You may experience some tenderness following a root canal, but it should subside within a day or so. Dr. Heggade provides specific instructions on how to care for your treated tooth and manage discomfort directly following your root canal.
After your treatment, you brush for two minutes twice a day and floss daily as normal. You may need to have more frequent dental checkups than the recommended biannual exams.
If you have tooth pain, call or book an appointment online for a checkup and treatment to resolve your pain and protect your teeth.

St Luke's Hospital hit by lightning
Power was lost temporarily at St Luke's Hospital last night, when the building was hit by lightning during a thunderstorm over Kilkenny City.
Back-up generators immediately kicked into life and kept the hospital functioning, however, phone lines and IT systems suffered damage and are not yet fully operational again. Staff are having to carry out a lot of IT work manually, and an emergency contact number has been set up on 056-7751133.
The thunderstorm struck Kilkenny at around 10pm last night, knocking out lights and setting off alarms all over the city. Kilkenny Weather says that more showers are again possible for today and Friday, and the outlook for the weekend is not good.

Every year at Baselworld when I traipse the halls at Baselworld I search for reoccurring themes. Although I don't have much time because I am multitasking and working. One thing that always stands out to me is emeralds. I may be biased because I love them so dearly. No other gem offers the allure of a lush green emerald for me. I am instantly enthralled.
See a few of my favorite brand picks that absolutely outdid themselves with new renditions of some old classics.
Chopard – The Green Carpet Collection
They've used ethically mined Zambian emeralds from the Kagem mine in a gloriously green partnership with GEMFIELDS. In addition to the marquise and round emeralds, they've paired it with white diamonds from the IGC group, a member of Responsible Jewellery Council). Now that's responsible fashion!
SUTRA – The Fan Collection
The new emerald spin on the iconic fan Jennifer Lopez rocked at the 2015 Met Gala in rubies. Sutra has paired pear shaped Columbian emeralds with round brilliant diamonds to create the perfect bright green version in bright white 18K gold metal. It doesn't hurt that they sit like perfection on the ear.
Michael Gad – A special High Jewelry Collection
Specs coming soon. I don't have many details on this spectacular piece other than the fact that my friend @TheDiamondsGirl is donning is in a mesmeric way! She surely knows how to put a jewel on and own it.
Picchiotti – The 50th Anniversary Imperial Collection
A magnificent pear-shaped diamond center and emerald ring that I would gladly accept as my future engagement ring. She is complete square-cut baguette emeralds and an additional elongated baguette diamond halo, set in 18K white gold. The is modern appeal with old world romance paired in one piece at its finest.
Y A F A Vintage
These on trend opposite earrings from Y A F A prove that everything in fashion comes back around. Their magnificent pear shaped diamond and emerald pears lay center to a halo of fancy cut diamond and emeralds for each ear as well as asscher cuts for their tops. I think I fainted. – photo credit my friend @ChampagneGem
With all my talk of how much I love emerald I am happy to say we have the rest of 2017 to relish in this year's pantone color. In my opinion, the perfect for any occasion, delightfully incomparable, color of foliage and many currencies: GREENERY!

Windows Setup
These instructions are for Windows XP SP 2 unless otherwise noted.
If you have a Myro Installation CD, then simply run install.bat from it. See detailed instructions at Myro Windows Automatic Installation.
If you don't have a CD, then the easiest method of installing Myro and all of the additional libraries is to install them from the zip file.
- Download the latest Myro ZIP File.
- Save that to your harddrive.
- Double-click it to open the zip file, and drag the folder named "Myro Install Files" to your desktop. You must unzip this folder; you cannot do the next step from within the zip file!
- Double-click on the install.bat file inside the "Myro Install Files" folder.
- See Myro Windows Automatic Installation for more details.
Windows Vista Users: Installation compatible with your computer is now available! To install, follow steps 1-3 above. Then do the following:
- Click the Start button.
- In the start menu, click the Programs folder icon.
- In the Programs menu, click the Accessories folder icon.
- Right-click on the Command Prompt icon (which will appear under Accessories).
- Then select "Run as Administrator". A window will open up. It is referred to as the Command Prompt.
- In the Command Prompt, type in "cd [Directory Address of the "Install" Folder]" (note the space after "cd"). What you type should look something like "cd c:\Users\Katie\Desktop\Myro Install Files" (without the quotes, and with your user name instead of "Katie"). If you don't know the Directory Address of the "Install" Folder, do the following:
- If you put the Myro Install Files folder on the desktop, the Directory Address of the "Install" Folder will probably be "c:\Users\[Your user name]\Desktop\Myro Install Files".
- If that doesn't work, you can find the Directory Address of the "Install" Folder in the following way. Open the Myro Install Files folder (located wherever you've saved it, probably on the desktop). Inside this folder is an icon labeled "Install". Right-click on Install icon, and then click Properties. In Properties, next to "Location" will be the directory address of the Myro Install Files folder. It'll look something like "c:\Users\Katie\Desktop\Myro Install Files".
- Then, in the Command Prompt, type "install.bat".
- Finally, follow all instructions to install the install.bat file.
- You're done!
You can also make your own CDROM by downloading the latest Myro ISO File and burning your own. This file is 20MB, and can be turned into a CDROM using various programs. On Windows, you could use ISO Recorder, or on Linux, simply right-click on the iso file and select "Create CDROM". Insert the disk into a computer running Windows and the autorun installer should begin. If it doesn't, simply select the file "install.bat". You will install a series of packages. Select the default for each, except that if you have other versions of Python installed, make sure you select Python 2.4 when given a choice amoung others.
You should be ready to insert your Bluetooth USB dongle into the computer and configure it. Details for this step are on the Myro Installation Manual page.
Manual Installation
Only do these steps if you don't want to do the full install above.
The following steps give links for installing each of the Myro components.
- You will need Python installed. We will use Python 2.4 from python.org.
- Download and run the latest Myro Installer (if you would rather have the source files zipped, use Myro Sources Zipped).
- Copy Start Python.pyw to your desktop, or wherever you would like.
- Copy these two files to your idlelib subdirectory
- Download and run Python for Windows extensions
- Download and run pyserial (pyserial-2.2.win32.exe)
- If you would like to use the Chat features, you'll need xmpppy
- If you would like to view camera and other images, you will need the Python Image Library and Numpy
- If you want to use the Text-To-Speech functions in Windows you'll need pyTTS (pyTTS-3.0.win32-py2.4.exe for Python 2.4)
- If you want additional voices for pyTTS, you'll need SAPI5VoiceInstaller.msi
- If you would like to have sound output on the host computer, you will need Snack Sound Extension. This is handy so the simulator can beep(). To install:
- Download Binary release for Windows
- unzip
- move tkSnack.py to c:\Python2x\Lib\
- move snacklib\ to c:\Python2x\tcl\

I've decided I'm not going to be blogging here on a regular basis anymore. I will continue to mod the communities I mod, not that they need much modding. I will continue to read my friends' journals and use the syndicated feed feature to keep up with my LOLcats and Failblog and such like. I'm just not going to be posting myself, or not very much.
In a nutshell, as illustrated by the profile page ruckus, the direction LJ seems to be going in as far as rolling out new features, trying to recruit newer users and not dealing very well with its longtime users, plus the patronizing way the staff regularly communicates ("here's a change, you're gonna like it or lump it, we know what's best, we can't please everybody, blahblah") has put me off and made maintaining a regular journal here into more hassle than I'd like it to be. I already have enough stress in my life so I'm all about the hassle-free. Plus, at this point I don't need all the "social networking" (or data mining) aspects of LJ that the site staff holds so dear as they obviously try, on orders from their bosses, to compete with Myspace and Facebook and who knows what. I used to enjoy meeting new people on here, but the time for that is long since past. What I'm looking for now is a serious blog site where I can express myself. A space that is *mine*, not a space where some boss or some twentysomething "web designer" of dubious skills decides what's best for me. (I'm not senile yet, kids.) And I've decided the best place to get that is either another LJ-type site that's more responsive to its long-term users (I've been looking at InsaneJournal and Inksome) or, perhaps, my own domain, where I can have things exactly as I like and not be worried about "OMG what feature are they going to suddenly mess up next?"
I already know that one day LJ will no longer support S1 style that my journal layout uses, and when that happens I'll have to get a new layout...I don't want to use the cookie-cutter layouts that LJ hands out. MySpace has been a lot more accommodating about letting people change their layouts or get layouts from off-site than this site has been. That already had me thinking about going, and then this profile business...meh. It's kinda like when you have an annoying landlord who starts remodeling, knocking out the kitchen wall with little or no warning, when you're at work. You come home and find your kitchen all in disarray and they insist they told you and they really didn't and your blood pressure is going through the roof and then you have to argue with them about where the new appliances are going to go. And you just figure the living room will be next. Forget it. The smart thing to do in that situation would be to move, so that's what I'm gonna do.
It will probably take me a little time to get set up elsewhere because as much as I enjoy blogging, it does take energy and if I wasn't blogging I could be putting that energy into some other activity, which I'd kinda like to do for a little while. In the time I haven't been blogging on here I've found myself reading old books from my basement, cleaning up a little bit and generally doing stuff I haven't done for a while, and that's cool, it's time for me to rediscover some of the things I used to enjoy when I was very much alone.
I will let people know where I'm going to be blogging when I get there, but I don't expect most people to follow me to wherever it is, comment, or read.
If anyone needs to get hold of me while I'm not on here, a bunch of you have my number, and the rest of you can leave me a comment or hit me up on MySpace which I check maybe like once a week.
Ain't it time we said good bye...

On the enjoyment!
The way to a man's hear (also) goes through his stomach – which is why it is an enviable luck to be chef at the Schindelbruch. Guests bring appetite and a healthy curiosity, many delicacies are from the direct neighborhood, fresh herbs grown in the own garden. Also what comes from afar is selected carefully. Where you can cook like this, new ideas and fine culinary delights emerge again and again. This is how the Schindelbruch cuisine came into being: international creations, inspired by the region. Thanks to our three restaurants this results in a delicious exploration – from elegant to earthly, from rural to Mediterranean.

NEW YORK — When word broke Sunday that 11 starving children and three women were rescued from a filthy trailer in New Mexico, a retired New York City cop recognized the name of the main suspect.
Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, 39, taken into custody on suspicions he kidnapped his 3-year old disabled son from Georgia, is the son of a Brooklyn imam, Siraj Wahhaj. The boy's whereabouts are presently unknown.
The senior Wahhaj won a settlement from New York City, amid complaints certain Muslim mosques were being monitored by police illegally, including his — Masjid al-Taqwa — located at Bedford Avenue and Fulton Street in Brooklyn.
The senior Wahhaj was an unindicted co-conspirator in a plot to bomb New York City landmarks in 1993, which resulted in the conviction of blind Egyptian sheikh, Omar Abdel Rahman, who died in prison.
A source told PIX11 that before the dismantling of certain, NYPD intelligence operations, undercover cops were buying weapons at the mosque. The evidence was turned over to federal prosecutors.
In New Mexico, Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe said the imam's son was heavily armed when investigators arrived at the remote compound with a search warrant.
The younger Wahhaj allegedly had an AR-15 rifle, five loaded 30-round magazines, and four loaded pistols. A friend of Wahhaj's from Georgia, Lucas Morten, was charged with harboring a fugitive.
Deputies had been watching the compound for some time, after receiving word from authorities in Georgia that Wahhaj may have kidnapped his 3-year-old son back in December 2017.
Imam Siraj Wahhaj, the father of the suspect in the boy's kidnapping. The child, Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj, needs medicine because he suffers from seizures and developmental delays.
USA Today reported the boy can't walk, because he suffered from hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy at birth, which occurs when a baby's brain does not receive sufficient oxygen and blood.
Someone inside the compound had managed to get a message out to Georgia: "We are starving and need food and water."
The trailer was found buried into the ground, covered in plastic, virtually in the middle of nowhere.
It was discovered in the town of Amalia, 145 miles northeast of Albuquerque, very close to the New Mexico-Colorado border.
There was no answer at the Masjid al-Taqwa mosque in Brooklyn Monday afternoon when PIX11 News called for comment.

White Rooster Cattle Company is committed to producing functional, massive, maternal driven cattle that thrive in the pasture and have enough look and power to thrive in the show ring. Since 1997 White Rooster Cattle his strived to produce modern productive cattle backed by proven predictable genetics. We believe that the power of a cow family can be traced directly to its females.
Owners Skyler and Taylor Jarman along with their sons are third and fourth generation cattle producers. Skyler was raised on a purebred Hereford cow-calf operation and his family still raise line-bred Mark Donald Hereford cattle in the Pacific Northwest. Skyler and Taylor both received Animal Science degrees from Colorado State University and were members of very competitive Livestock Judging Teams and enjoyed both team and individual success. Taylor continued her education with a Masters degree from Oklahoma State University.
We have worked hard to breed and maintain a herd of cattle based on proven powerful cow families. You will find a wealth of Ohlde, Griswold and Lupher genetics in our herd through bulls like Whiplash, Anchor, and Irish Whiskey. We believe we have a uniquely bred herd of cattle that offer a concentration of some great individuals.
Our expansion into the show pig business came very naturally with Taylors extensive background raising, showing and judging pigs. With the purchase of a few select high-quality individuals, we are excited to grow White Rooster Showpigs and offer the same high standard of good livestock.
We are excited about the future of White Rooster and are ready to help with any Show Steer, Show Heifer Herd Bull or Bred Female needs. We have bulls on feed and cattle for sale at all times.

Emini Trading Update – Friday 28 Jun 2013 (10:31)
Well there we go. We've finally got end of the month, end of the quarter over with. Now all we've got to look out for is 4th July next week. And how that will affect the market psychologically.
Typically holidays are upbeat and leading into them we get some strength. But Friday's activity shows how weak the market is. The Emini couldn't get through 1,614 overnight and we closed under the psychologically important 1,600 level.
I'm hanging out for the Commitment of Traders numbers – we might have a little pattern worth talking about. I'll let you know.
Good luck with your Emini trading.

50 Years of Innovative, Industrial Pump Technology and Superb Service from Westcan
From it's inception in 1964, Westcan has grown from a machine and welding shop to being one of the leading service providers for Pump Products, Pumping Equipment and Pump Maintenance enhancements in Canada.
As a pioneer in the use and development of engineered coatings such as Thermal Spray Technology, Westcan provides our customers with improved, superior equipment performance under some of the toughest operating parameters in any industry.
Westcan's Improvements for Industrial Pump Technology Can Reduce Customers' Costs
Pump technology improvements have been greatly strengthened through a combination of metallurgical developments in materials, and design, by Westcan. This applies not only to shafts, sleeves and impellers, but also within foundries and steel suppliers who now have improved casting and raw material quality in many of the pump components supplied.
Impeller Repair Program
Impellers, previously discarded after being in service for normal duty cycles, then were replaced with new – are now repaired by us with better welding technology and procedures that surpass the 'life performance' of just a short time ago.
In fact, Westcan's Impeller Program, was started at the request of customers who were benefiting in huge savings from the Recovery and Repairs we had done to their impellers. Now it assists many of our clients save millions of dollars in annual operating costs, which also helps them improve their competitiveness in the global market.
With the dramatic increase in the cost of metals, especially 316SS, 2205SS, Nickel and Molybdenum based alloys, the importance of 'life extension' of recyclable parts by repair is more important than ever to reducing costs.
Pump Database
Accumulated and well documented over the last 50 years, Westcan has an extensive database of pumps and component parts of all OEM makes and models that is second to none.
Westcan's Pump Database has grown significantly since its inception in 1964. With more than 50 OEM Pump Manufacturers detailed, and in excess of 110 models, we have created a database of over 25,000 parts from the smallest washer to complete pumps – supplied in any and all materials.
Quality Assurance and ISO Certified
Westcan is not only in conformance with the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System today; a Quality Assurance program was implemented in the mid 90's to ensure that each and every part we supply or repair is identical to the OEM original dimensions and is of the highest quality, delivering the improved performances needed by our customers.
Working closely with our Customers to solve their individual or combined problems led us to develop many of the highest quality products and processes. Our years of experience enabled us to assist many customers in extending the life of their components and equipment, even in the most arduous conditions of corrosion and erosion, leading to substantial savings for them.
A Goal Realized for the Industrial Pump Industry
Our focus has been and is still, to outperform our customers expectations in extending the life and performance of their Pumping and Rotating equipment through our solution-based services.
With our professional, experienced staff, our specific technological innovations and improvements, plus the highest quality of shop equipment; we continually deliver the quality of service and reliability that is the hallmark of the Westcan name.
We are ready for the next 50 years of leading edge advancements and excellence in all areas of pump technology.
Thank you to all of our customers through the years who have added so much to our company.

Skilled Labor Not Seen in Demand in Rural Areas
The notion that smarter graduates are needed to meet the demands of rural economic development is not justified by economic data, which instead suggest that the trend toward high-skill jobs is far from reaching rural areas, according to a recent report by the Economic Policy Institute.
The authors of the new report, Ruy Teixeira and Lawrence Mishel, who coauthored an earlier study that disputed many of the findings of the influential 1987 "Workforce 2000'' report, conclude that rural areas may find the demand for skilled labor actually shrinking in the years ahead. More important than efforts to improve local schools, they say, might be efforts aimed more directly at recruiting new employers for rural areas.
"There will not be an explosion of skilled jobs in the 1990's, either in rural areas or nationally,'' according to the report, "The Myth of the Coming Labor Shortage in Rural Areas.'' The authors said their conclusions are based largely on an examination of employment projections and other data from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The researchers said that while education reforms may improve the outlook for rural youths, they may have to go outside their own labor market to use their more sophisticated abilities.
"Even under generous assumptions, rural areas appear unlikely to generate the demand-side conditions upon which an education-based supply-push strategy could be based,'' they write. "Instead, the demand-side conditions themselves appear to be a serious problem.''
The report adds that rural areas have already logged considerable progress in upgrading workers' skills. Researchers have found that the 9th-grade education of the median rural resident in 1960 has risen to a high-school diploma today.
Those skills increases have not been accompanied by employment or income gains, say the researchers, who expect the trend to continue.
The authors of the E.P.I. report join a growing list of economists and researchers challenging the findings of the "Workforce 2000'' study, which has established the context for the education and training policy debate in recent years. (See Education Week, Nov. 13, 1992.)
"A close look at the data, in short, casts doubt on the efficacy of
enhanced education, by itself, as a strategy for rural economic
development,'' Mr. Teixeira and Mishel argue, adding that "policies
designed to increase the number of high-quality jobs stand a better
chance, in the long run, of helping rural areas

Imagine the last time someone cut you off while driving? For some of us, we have what the many calls "road rage." How did you react? Did you find yourself swearing and using obscene gestures? This message is not to call anyone out, but for everyone to examine himself and ask the question, "Am I showing my "Christ-like" attitude to everyone on a daily basis?"
Many might question if this kind of "attitude" is possible with sin always surrounding us. Beloved, there is one way to capture this attitude, and that is with the word of God.
I remember when I first started my walk in The Lord. I was being advised by a Pastor friend of mine. He mentioned to me that when a born again Christian starts out they want to capture everything that has to do with being "spiritual," but eventually that buzz dies off. A comparison was given as to a sprinter running in a marathon. He starts with a great burst out of the gates, but he can't sustain that speed because the journey is so long.
But the Christian that carries on and endures the race, keeping their eyes on the finish line and building themselves in the Word of God, is the one that creates the "Christ-like" attitude and impact the others around them to help finish the race together.
This journey is not meant to be a lonely one. Having a "Christ-like" attitude can help others, who aren't so strong, finish the race and receive the reward we all inherit to receive through Jesus.
Let's challenge ourselves going forward to take on a "Christ-like" attitude and help lead people to our Savior.

Re: Firmware 4.5.2 QC35 ii
As promised, I went to the mall and compare head to head (no pun intendeed) my pair of bose qc35 II on firmware 4.1.3 vs the mall's qc35 II on 4.5.2.
The results:
On very loud enviroments, the amount of noise canceled by the headphones is not that far, I would say that on 4.5.2 blocks about 65% and on 4.1.3 blocks about 75%.
The difference between High and Low is a feature on 4.1.3, if you want to hear more things, you put the headphones on low, I you want to block the world arround you, you use High.
YOU CANNOT DO THIS ON 4.5.2. This feature DOES NOT WORK. I don't know how this bose 'engineers' cannot replicate this and assume that there is a problem, ¿or maybe they are just lying about not finding any issues, even after months?
White noise is not noticeable on that noisy environments.
My resume of the issue:
4.1.3 :
- Reported by many users as the last version with good ANC.
- No white noise even in the quieters enviroments, I tried putting ANC on High in the night and I cannot hear or feel white noise at all.
- Noticeable cabin pressure. I was already used to this feeling so this is not an issue for me, might be for some.
- Noticeable difference between High and Low, really useful.
- High is very strong, blocks a lot of noise, as supposed to.
- A really noticeable and akward white noise even when ANC is disabled completely, this is the worst, the reason I buyed this headphones is to avoid this white noise that is present in almost every cheap bluetooth product. I tested this in the night, with almost no noise arround, and you can hear/feel clearly a lot of white noise. A shame for an AUDIO company.
- NO DIFFERENCE between High and Low, High actually sounds like the middle between high and low of regular ANC of 4.1.3.
- High blocks less noise than High on 4.1.3. (tested this in my home, in the office, in the kitchen, with differents regulars noises, like air conditioners, extractions fans, etc. You can really tell there is a difference.)
- No cabin pressure, this might be due to the reduction in the 'power' of ANC in high, but does it really worth it? introduce white noise and lowering the quality of the main feature to reduce cabin pressure? not for me.
After all this, I don't think Bose will fix this, for me its just scheduled obsolescence. The timing was just when the bose 700 were launched, you don't have to be a genius or a conspiranoic to notice this.
Lets be honests here, its been 6 MONTHS since this started ... they already didn't fix it and they didn't even allow users to go back to 4.1.3 'legally', didn't that look suspiciuos to you ? THE FIX IS THERE, at reach, and they are not allowing it.
So.. what I'm going to do? Currently I was able to downgrade to 4.1.3 so I'm happy with the quality and I'm still on warranty. I will enjoy this headphones a couple of months and then, when the hinges get loosen, I will update the firmware and sent them to bose for a replacement, hopefully they offer me upgrade to the 700, I'll sell those and then I will try to buy the next gen of the sonys 1000X. I'll never trust Bose again for a high end product like this.
Also the 700 are not as comfortable for me, so I'm not planing on keeping those arround if I do this.
This post will probably be deleted for calling out bose on their scheduled obsolescence, that would be a clear message that is actually true so go ahead admins, admit it by deleting this...

Being around friends can impair your memory
(13 February 2007: VIDYYA MEDICAL NEWS SERVICE) -- You're watching a basketball game with some buddies and decide to order pizza during the commercial. Researchers from Indiana University found that people in a group setting exposed to brand information – such as an ad for Pizza Hut -- have a hard time recalling the brand's competitors. In other words, being around friends when deciding where to order takeout might cause you to forget completely about that local pizza place you've been wanting to try.
"When groups of individuals are exposed to brands in the shopping environment, their memory for other brands within the same product category is impaired," write Charles D. Lindsey and H. Shanker Krishnan (Indiana University). "The current research examines retrieval in a collaborative group setting, which is a novel context for brand memory research."
Appearing in the March issue of the Journal of Consumer Research, the study found that this effect is magnified for very familiar brands. Lindsey and Krishnan argue that this happens because individuals in the group are exposed not only to the advertisement but also to mentions of the brand by other members of the group.
"The practical implications of this research imply that a group premium (over and above the standard market share premium) seems to exist for advertising brands during programming where a higher percentage of viewers are group-based," conclude the authors.

Football Weekly returns with a director's-cut length Premier League preview show with host James Richardson and an old-school line-up of John Ashdown, Barry Glendenning and Sean Ingle.
First up we discuss the contenders for the title: Will Man City be hampered by having too many holding midfielders? Will Man Utd's ageing squad be a problem? Are Chelsea on the way down? Who comes out best in the Cole/Benayoun swap? What the hell is going on at Aston Villa? And has Barry really bet Sean £20 that Liverpool won't finish in the top six?
Meanwhile, is the relegation battle a foregone conclusion with the promoted teams all set to go back down, as John seems to think it is? Or could the likes of Birmingham and Wolves be dragged into the mire?
There's Championship talk, with the pod discussing Steve Coppell's shock departure and the chances of John's fancy, Burnley, for promotion and whether Pompey's bare-bones XI can escape the double-drop?
Meanwhile Sid Lowe joins on the phone with news of Spain's draw in Mexico and the latest transfer gossip from La Liga. And there's just about time to discuss last night's international friendlies - and for a certain pod member to suggest that Fabio Capello is the worst manager in his lifetime.

--Fragments which in many ways exemplify the total powerlessness of writing in such a medium.
--Back from a voyage with my son through the deserts of Arizona and California and from being at Hermosa Beach, near Los Angeles.
--I did not know my son very well because he lives four streets away from me in New York City, with his mother, because many years ago she decided her feelings had changed and she wanted to grow spiritually.
--I came back with few words that insisted on being written down.
--I did not know the names of the plants through which we walked or drove by.
--I did not know the names of the geological formations we passed through or upon.
--I could not say one word of the language of the Tohono O'odham nation through we drove.
--We toured Pomona College as my son is entering his last year at a prep school in New England.
--Pomona College seemed to be a little paradise whose whole educational purpose was centered upon the actual individual student.
--I would hope my son would go to Pomona.
I do not know if he will be able to resist the well cultivated seductive attractive illusions of the Ivy League.
If he falls for one of those colleges or universities it will be too late.
He will discover as countless students have done that the undergraduate student at these institutions is always an afterthought to the professors they encounter.
They will discover their role of being the student as nigger as was said in the so-called Sixties.
Of course for the vast dull majority of such students they will be too embarrassed to ever admit their mistake in going to these so-called institutions of higher education.
--In Los Angeles the book section of the Los Angles Times was being merged into the larger Arts and Entertainment section. There were the usual protests. Most over-looked the one fringe benefit: books would no longer be segregated from the other arts. It will be the duty of the book section editor to assert the absolute necessity of books and that books of course are intimately connected to the other arts as indeed they in turn are connected to books. Books for too many people are seen as just stepping stones to the supposedly higher realm of movies. No good writer really wants to see his book translated to the silver screen.
In Long Beach, Acres of Books, a vast second hand bookshop, is closing to make way for an arts complex in an area of Long Beach called the East Village. Only a real estate genius could not see the humour of such a situation.
We voyaged through the land about the Salton Sea on our way to Palm Springs.
Both places are two sides of a coin that should provide the setting for a great novel.
I would love to have a house in Salton City or Salton Sea Beach.
I would think living midst what was once promised to be a great resort would be like living in Year Zero in Berlin in 1945.
But it might also be nice to have also another house in Palm Springs or Rancho Mirage (again the genius of the real estate wonder workers) as I could imagine myself as being Ingmar Bergman or Max Frisch traveling from their Palm Springs or Rancho Mirage (Sweden and Switzerland) through the devastated landscape of Germany in 1945. How these places are the necessary complements of each other.
I came back to New York City knowing that there was no purpose in my unpublished books.
We had lunch with the owner of Green Integer Books (Sun and Moon Press) Douglas Messerli. Conversation turned to Richard M. Elman. Messerli had published TAR BEACH the last novel of Elman who is now dead. Messerli has two unpublished novels by Elman in his files. He showed me one with the title LOVE HANDLES.
If you have to ask who is Richard M. Elman? If you don't know who Richard M.Elman is or if his name is obscure you know why those two manuscripts have not been published.
How to imagine, again, the possibility of ever publishing another book?
I wanted to
SATANTANGO the great seven hour film by Bela Tarr was waiting for me when I got home.
I had wanted to talk about the Library of America books devoted to Katherine Ann Porter and William Maxwell and John Ashbery.
I had wanted to talk about the new Collected Poems of Jack Spicer.
I had wanted to talk about MUTE OBJECTS OF EXPRESSION by Francis Ponge (Archipelago)
I had wanted to talk about SENS-PLASTIQUE by Malcolm de Chazal. (Green Integer)
I had wanted to talk about TRANQUILITY by Attila Bartis. (Archipelago)
I had wanted to talk about THE UNIMAGINABLE MATHEMATICS OF BORGES' LIBRARY OF BABEL by William Goldbloom Bloch (Oxford University Press)
I had wanted to talk about ESTHER'S INHERITANCE by Sandor Marai (Knopf)
But I did finish reading Robert Pinget's SOMONEONE (Red Dust, 1984): "That's my own personal and private blessing, to forget and to lose my papers. If I had a good memory I wouldn't lose anything and then I wouldn't know what to do, I'd be bored rigid. Always having to ask yourself what have I forgotten, this keeps you going. And when you find something you'd forgotten to look for, what joy. This is very frequent."
In an afterword Pinget mentions, "As for the subjects treated in my novels, they are taken from the most banal, apparently derisory, everyday events in which there is nothing than can make a novel,
but which I have chosen for my material.
I had wanted also to talk about ON THE BRINK by Gerhard Roth (Atlas Press) and HOMAGE TO CZERNY: STUDIES IN VIRTUOSO TECHNIQUE by Gert Jonke (Dalkey Archive)
Ed Burns came back from Paris with a report on the actual death of Albert Cossary. The titles of two of his little books can sum up all these words: MEN GOD FORGOT and THE HOUSE OF CERTAIN DEATH

As we explained in great detail in my winding course, the first thing the control system must do is compensate for known upsets such as changing weights and angles and geometries. This mostly applies to nip, but tension also may need treatment. Those compensations are baked into the controls and are inaide the computer cabinet and are not accessible by the operator. Of course, the service manual should describe what is being done in great detail and in particular how the service engineer or process engineer can check the calibration of the tension, nip and torque controls.
Also in the winding course we showed the three major types of curves that might run on top of the above compensations when a simple constant setting is not enough. The most common is, unfortunately as we described in the last clips, taper expressed as a percent. In this video we show an alternative that does everything that taper does, but does it much better and is much simpler, namely, the two point method. We also show how we can easily teach the operator to change settings based on which winding defects are seen and what part of the roll they are seen on.
It is very rare that a true curve or multi segment line would be needed or even helpful. Also we must consider that almost no operator or even engineer would know which rare case would benefit from this complication and how to make use of it.
201.43c.03 – The Two Point Method
The two-point method is consistent and super easy to work with. Let me illustrate by giving you a heuristic that can be taught to anyone facing winding defects. All they need to know first is where the defect is found, such as near the core or near the OD. Second is whether the defect is a tight, loose, taper or other defect.
If the defect favors the core, adjust the starting tension accordingly.
If the defect favors the outside, adjust the finish tension accordingly.
What could be simpler?
201.43c.04 – Taper Defects
Of course, the 'other' category of defects, which is the largest by simple count, is not sensitive at all to winder TNT settings. These defects might be caused by poor design, maintenance or operation for example.
The smallest category by far is taper related defects. This includes one or two of the types of starring. This clearly also include Type 1a and 1b telescoping where taper is the first treatment that everyone should pursue aggressively. However, even then taper is but one of a half dozen factors that can be considered as we teach in Web101. For these few defects, maximum taper is the strategy. However, now that we no longer use % taper we must accomplish it in a different way; a simple way. Merely start at maximum tightness and finish with minimum tension.
201.43c.05 – Questions?
I close with an observation that while the two-point method is somewhat new to converting, it has been the standard in the paper industry ever since the introduction of PLC and computer controls. In other words, this is not theoretical or abstract. The two-point method has been field proven over the course of a quarter century in the most demanding web industry of all.
Thank you so very much for watching this module in my plant practical video clips. If you have questions, you may want to replay this clip series. If the material still doesn't make sense then perhaps my web or winding school might help give you the required background.

If you were thinking of extending your vendor certifications to include Nortel and you're already a Cisco Certified Voice Professional, then you are halfway toward achieving Nortel's VoIP product certification designations.
Holders of the TIA Convergence Technologies Professional and Avaya Certified Associate (ACA) with IP Telephony focus certifications, will also be able to apply those designations toward the Nortel certifications, says the network equipment provider.
The move is part of Nortel's efforts to simplify its certifications and to encourage more network execs to become certified Nortel professionals, says Scott Schauer, director of global certifications at Nortel. Another effort is to "unbundle" its certification exams and deliver them in segments, so that for instance, students can take two separate courses to achieve the same certification instead of one.
The benefit is that time away from the office to take classes and exams is reduced and that segment exams test on content covered in the course while it is still fresh in the student's mind, says Schauer.
Nortel offers three levels of certifications for Nortel enterprise and carrier products and technologies.
The entry level Nortel Certified Technology Specialist (NCTS) designation is technology focused and demonstrates that an individual has basic technical proficiency required to engineer or support a converged network. The mid-level Nortel Certified Technology Expert (NCTE) certification is aimed at individuals who can plan, design, engineer or support a converged network at an intermediate to advanced proficiency. The top-level Nortel Certified Architect (NCA) represents a highly advanced level of technical design and analytical expertise for complex Nortel environments and is targeted at those with titles such as senior networking consultant, network architect, and design engineer.
Schauer acknowledges that the bulk of the 52,541 network professionals certified by the company are Nortel distributors and resellers, but the company is keen to encourage more pros from the user community to take Nortel certification and training. For starters, Nortel is expanding its courses to include training on how to get more value out of Nortel products, he says.

Challenges and Transformation
Some trials are meant to challenge us for change. They may not intend harm to us, maybe we can look at them as transforming us. We may never understand that we need to change in areas of our lives until we face a challenge. Faith brings about a test of conflagration. It is not God's intent for our challenges to destroy us, however, He will allow them to change us into who He has called us to be.
I have gone through many challenges in my lifetime to some degree I never stopped to think that they were transforming me into the woman that God has called me to be. I now believe that some of those trials occurred multiply times because I was unwilling to take heed to the message that was being conveyed. I refused to take notice fought God about it and found myself going through the same trials over and over.
Eventually my challenges became durable to "me" because I realized that they are designed to make a thorough and or dramatic change in my character.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:2)
What are some challenges that you faced that you can see God using it to transform you into a better "you"?
Let's Chat About It.

I know. I know, I'm horrible. But it's been a pretty crazy month, so I'm not sorry. Since I started my new job, my life has never revolved more around food, drink, and the gym than before. Unfortunately, curating this blog has suffered the company of the back burner as a result. So I'm back. I'll try to post more than once a week, but I can't really promise anything*.
In the meantime, here's a bit of a treat, and a means to ease my way back in to posting. In the first few months of this year I have been lucky enough to indulge in some truly amazing dishes, and would like to walk you through what I will call Quarter 1 Highlights (Top 5 best dishes in the first 3 months of 2013 and where to find them!). Here they are: in no particular order:
1. Pizza from Acqua (Italian Restaurant, Shangri-La Mactan; Cebu, Philippines)
Though I chose to include this particular picture of Acqua's Salmon and Caper pizza, I'm actually just a fan in general of all their pizzas. Over our 4-day stint there, we ate at Acqua 3 different times and each time could not resist ordering pizza. We also sampled their Quattro Stragiono (olives, artichokes, mushrooms, and cheese), Pepperoni, and Hawaiian pizzas. None disappointed.
2. Proscuitto Panini with Truffle Mayo and Mozzarella from Club Street Social (Club St., Singapore, Singapore)
Not to be put off by the $$ pricing, this panini is great value for money. It comes on delicious ciabatta with a hefty serving of proscuitto, dripping in mozzarella and aromatic truffle mayo. They don't scrimp on any of the ingredients, and you definitely leave feeling more than satisfied. At about $17, this sandwich is worth every penny. I'm sure I'll be back for more!
3. Different Banh Mi choices from NamNam (Wheelock Place, Orchard Rd., Singapore, Singapore)*
I went back to NamNam multiple times in a week to have this Banh Mi when I first discovered it because I loved it so much. It is delicious and at Subway-6″-sub prices is much better value for money than the aforementioned. The one in the picture is a Chicken and Pate Banh Mi*, but I've also had their Cold Cuts Banh Mi. Each one comes with a hefty spread of pate on one side of the bread, and a lot of cilantro, lemongrass, chilis, and fresh mint or basil. The meats and cuts all taste fresh too, and everything comes together in the most deliciously refreshing (and filling) sandwich you can get at this price point.
On one visit, I took my discriminating best friend with me, and the place has his seal of approval as well. 😉
4. Lamb Meatballs (Cafe Le Caire, Arab St, Singapore, Singapore)*
These lamb meatballs were perfectly cooked – with none of that lamb-y aftertaste a lot of picky eaters complain about, and with plenty of spice and flavor. At only $8 a plate you get a lot of bang for your buck with this baby, and if eaten with some Pita on the side, you're pretty much set for the afternoon.
Cafe Le Caire is one of my favorite Middle Eastern restaurants in Singapore, and never fails to satisfy, in my opinion. I've also had their shwarma rice and on this day I went with a friend who ordered chicken shwarma rice and raved about it on her own blog.
5. King Fish and Prawn Ceviche with Tomato Compote and Balsamic Drizzle (The Marquee, Shangri-La Mactan; Cebu, Philippines)
It's sort of cruel for me to include this here because it's highly unlikely people will actually be able to taste it themselves, but I couldn't help myself. Though there were plenty of delicious highlights to that trip in Cebu for my cousin's wedding, this had to be one of the best. Everything about this dish was balanced – the flavors complemented each other perfectly, and as an appetizer preceding some heavy steak cuts and rich desserts, this was definitely the perfect "grand entrance" to any massive, multi-course meal.
Alright, that's all I can offer you guys for now. I'll be back soon. Probably to talk about how I've managed to keep my figure despite all these delicious dishes. 😉
*Not to be misconstrued as deep-seated commitment issues or anything.
*Forgive the photo, it was taken on my phone.
*For those unaware, Banh Mi are sandwiches from Vietnam – fusion style on freshly baked French baguettes with mixed meats (grilled chicken, cold cuts, etc) and Vietnamese spices and herbs reminiscent of what makes Pho so good.
*Yes. Another phone photo. SORRY, OKAY, I DON'T LUG MY HEAVY D7000 EVERYWHERE!

Meet the Tweed policeman liked by 11,390 people
A SIMPLE Facebook message to thank a Kingscliff police officer went viral last week.
Pottsville Beach Public School parent Jen Barnes made the kind gesture 10 days ago on the Tweed/Byron Local Area Command Facebook page.
Since then the internet has embraced the message with the post receiving more than 11,390 likes, 288 comments and more than 150 shares.
"Highlight of the school excursion today to Hastings Point was when the kids were leaving the beach to walk back to school," she wrote.
"A policeman driving past saw that 120 6-7 year olds were about to cross the road.
"He stopped..turned on his flashing lights, stopped all the traffic and hi 5'ed(sic) all the kids as they walked past him.
"Very very cool :) Well done to that police officer!!!"
The Tweed/Byron LAC page has only 1,927 likes so the attention this post received by social commentators is immense.
A modest Senior Constable Tony Atkins said he was just doing his job when he helped the students cross the road.
"Any of the boys would have done it," he said.
"I am a bit humbled by it all.
"Police don't usually get that amount of recognition so it was nice."
Snr Con Atkins sat down and replied to all of the positive comments with a thank-you message to show how much he appreciated their support.
He said it was important for children to trust and believe in the police.
"The cops aren't about taking people away," he said.
"It's nice for them to be able to see that we're normal."
Mrs Barnes said promoting Snr Cons Atkins' work showed a positive side of the police.
"I've never really seen police go out of their way," she said.
"And he was great, he stopped the traffic and you could just see he loved what he did.
"He knew he was making all of the kid's days too."
Mrs Barnes' seven-year-old daughter Jamelia did not stop talking about her encounter with the man in blue for the entire afternoon.
"He did a great job," she said.
"He did not have to stop but he did."
The primary school mother said she could not believe how much attention the post had received.
"I like to thank people when they go above and beyond," she said.
"And he did just that."
Snr Con Atkins said the Tweed/Byron LAC Facebook page was a great forum for feedback but also highlighted awareness in the area.

Oman urges GCC to reduce domestic energy consumption
DUBAI – Oman and neighbouring Gulf states must move towards curtailing energy consumption drastically, reduce subsidies and boost efficiencies to keep the region's rapidly rising oil and gas demand in check, the sultanate's top energy official said Monday.
"We must drastically reduce our consumption, not only in Oman but in the region as a whole," Oman's Minister of Oil and Gas Dr. Mohammed Hamad Al-Rumhy said in a national keynote address at the first Gulf Intelligence Oman Energy Forum in Muscat today. The forum's theme is focused on game changers impacting the Omani and global energy industry.
Today, the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states consume more primary energy than the whole of Africa even though their population is only one-twentieth the size of the continent's, according to Chatham House's Saving Oil and Gas in the Gulf report published in August. Heavily-subsidized energy has fuelled consumption growth in the region in recent years and led to rising energy subsidy bills for governments. According to International Monetary Fund estimates, energy subsidy costs in GCC countries ranged from 9-28% of government revenues in 2011.
"Subsidy is killing us. We should preserve energy on a daily level and use it wisely, which we're not doing. We can do so much ourselves. We don't need to start any nuclear, coal, bio-fuel activities in Oman," the minister said. He added that there wasn't much need for the sultanate to pursue renewable energy projects at present as "there is enough gas in the world."
Abdulla Bin Hamad Al-Attiyah, President of Qatar's Administrative Control & Transparency Authority and the country's former oil minister, said in an on-stage interview at today's forum that GCC states need to make a collective effort to curtail energy subsidies or be faced with drastic consequences.
"This is not a single country issue but a GCC problem. The region needs to move quickly to find a solution," he said.
The emergence of Gulf states as major energy consumers has fuelled concerns over their ability to maintain oil export capacity. Domestic oil consumption among Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) members has increased seven‐fold in 40 years, to 8.5 million bpd. They consume almost as much oil as China, which is equivalent to one-fourth of their production.
According to OPEC Secretary General Abdalla Salem El-Badri, who gave the international keynote address at the forum, the organization should be able to produce an additional 6 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude by 2018.
The increase would make up for declining output elsewhere, in particular in the U.S. where tight oil output is expected to start declining that year, El Badri said. OPEC output stood at 30.05 million bpd in September, down 400,000 bpd versus August levels.
Oman is the largest oil producer in the Middle East that is not a member of OPEC. The sultanate has set ambitious targets to boost the share of oil it produces from Enhanced Oil Recovery projects by 2021 in a bid to sustain a five-year trend of rising crude production levels. The country is also moving forward with an ambitious program to diversify the local economy as it seeks to reduce its dependence on income from hydrocarbons, add value to its oil and gas resources, and create jobs for its young and growing population, while at the same time strengthening ties with East Africa and South Asia.
"Oman is in an advantageous position and we must continue to make the most of our geographical location. We, as a nation, are at the gateway of the rapidly expanding regional as well as Asian and African markets," said Mulham Al-Jarf, Deputy CEO of Oman Oil Company, which is the Title Partner at the Gulf Intelligence Oman Energy Forum.
Today's forum is also being addressed by Nasser K. Al Jashmi, Under Secretary at Oman's Ministry of Oil & Gas on the sultanate's Oil & Gas In-Country-Value Programme, and Dr. Aldo Flores-Quiroga, Secretary General, International Energy Forum (IEF) on Building New Partnerships for Post-Easy Oil Era.

Two arrested, charged with attempted kidnapping as mom sees them leaving with 3-year-old girl
Two people were arrested Saturday after they were seen attempting to leave a far West Side residence with a 3-year-old girl, according to the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
Christopher Shapira, 47, and Patricia Benitez, 58, have been charged with attempted kidnapping after deputies say they approached two children playing outside a home shortly before 4 p.m. and were later seen walking off with a 3-year-old girl, according to a BCSO Facebook post and court records.

Yesteryear's tools
At long last another update. We've moved in just over a year ago but still have quite a bit of work to do.
I am currently working on my office so that I can actually move into it. For the last few days I have been installing the wooden floor and thought I share some pictures of some yesteryear's tools I was lucky enough to find on ebay.
You might recall how we used clamps to push the floor boards together in the other rooms. This time I am using old floorboard tensioners that I found online. When I got them initially they were quite corroded and some didn't want to move any longer. See the image below for one of the untreated ones that still moves. You can see how it's quite corroded.
It didn't actually take a lot of work to to get the ones that didn't want to move any more to move. Just sprayed lots of CRC on to them and they are not moving nice as. CRC has removed most of the corrosion as you can see in the picture below of a treated tensioner. This tensioner was corroded worse then the one above.
These tensioners are quite nice to work with considering their age and condition. The teeth on the bottom (see picture below) are spring loaded and grip the slat under floor board which then lets you push against the floor boards by working the long handle.
I managed to get 5 of these tensioners for $60. The seller was actually disappointed as he thought they would sell for way more as an antique on ebay. Didn't actually think anyone in their right mind would actually use them… But hey, who says I am in my right mind 🙂
