Zechariah 12
Expanded Bible
Jerusalem Will Be Saved
12 ·This message is [The oracle/burden of] the word of the Lord ·to [or concerning] Israel. This is what the Lord says, who stretched out the ·skies [heavens], and laid the foundations of the earth [Gen. 1], and ·put [forms] the human spirit within: 2 "I will make Jerusalem like a cup of ·poison [staggering; reeling; drunkenness] to the nations around her. They will come and ·attack [besiege] Jerusalem and Judah. 3 ·One [L And it shall be on that] day all the nations on earth will come together to attack Jerusalem, but I will make it like a ·heavy [immovable] rock; anyone who tries to ·move [carry] it will ·get hurt [be injured]. 4 At that time I will ·confuse [strike with panic] every horse and cause its rider to go crazy," says the Lord. "I will ·watch over [L open my eyes to] the ·people [L house] of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the ·enemies [nations; peoples]. 5 Then the ·leaders [or clans] of Judah will say to themselves, 'The ·people [inhabitants] of Jerusalem are strong, because the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven's Armies; T of hosts] is their God.'
6 "At that time I will make the ·leaders [or clans] of Judah like a ·fire burning [firepot on] a stack of wood or like a ·fire burning straw [burning torch among sheaves]. They will ·destroy [consume; devour] all the people around them left and right. But the people of Jerusalem will remain ·safe [L settled in their place].
7 "The Lord will save the ·homes [L tents] of Judah first so that the ·honor given to [glory of] ·David's family [L the house of David] and to the people of Jerusalem won't be greater than the ·honor given to [glory of] Judah [C the defenseless countryside would be saved before the fortified city, showing the victory was due to the Lord]. 8 ·At that time [L On that day] the Lord will ·protect [defend] the people in Jerusalem. Then even the weakest of them will be strong like David. And the ·family [house] of David will be like God, like ·an [or the] angel of the Lord in front of them [Gen. 48:16; Ex. 14:19; 23:20]. 9 ·At that time [L On that day] I will ·go [set out; begin] to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.
Crying for the One They Pierced
10 "I will pour out on ·David's family [L the house of David] and the ·people in [inhabitants of] Jerusalem a spirit of ·kindness [grace] and ·mercy [prayer; supplication]. They will look at me, the one they have ·stabbed [pierced], and they will ·cry [L mourn/lament for him] like someone ·crying [mourning; lamenting] over the death of an only ·child [son]. They will ·be as sad [grieve bitterly] as someone who has lost a firstborn son. 11 ·At that time [L On that day] there will be much crying in Jerusalem, like the crying for Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo [C either where Judah mourned the death of king Josiah (2 Chr. 35:25), or ritualistic mourning associated with the Canaanite storm god (Ezek. 8:14; 2 Kin. 5:18)]. 12 The land will ·cry [mourn], each ·family [clan] by itself: the ·family [clan] of [L the house of] David by itself and their wives by themselves, the ·family [clan] of Nathan [2 Sam. 5:14] by itself and their wives by themselves, 13 the ·family [clan] of Levi [Num. 3:17–18, 21] by itself and their wives by themselves, the ·family [clan] of Shimei [C a clan of Levites; Ex. 6:16–17] by itself and their wives by themselves, 14 and all the rest of the ·families [clans] by themselves and their wives by themselves.

Diane this is in response to the 12 month contract question. The contract was developed to help insure that I would have able time to market artwork for each of our artists with Prophetics (We are legally an LLC). It was to also insure an artist doesn't use my site to sell the agreed images through their studio while I am marketing them. I spent valuable time and money marketing each piece online. I do not inventory the originals therefore the 12 month contract between the artist and myself shows that we honor our business relationship and will move in this relationship with integrity. If for any reason there is a need to reduce the 12 month time period there is a 30 day notice built in to the contract for both parties should it be necessary. I hope this is helpful and feel free to call or email me at the listed number or email in my previous comment below.
Hi Diane!
Our website officially launched in July this year. We have been marketing on various social networks as well as through Constant Contact. We have targeted various churches, organizations and businesses. I also plan to take several artists to the wholesale markets next year where there are over 45,000 buyers in the international home furnishings marketplace. The first show will be High Point , NC and plan to go to others in Atlanta, NYC and Las Vegas. I have over 35 years extensive experience in retail and wholesale marketing, corporate business, sales, and interior design. I share all of this information and more on my website at propheticsgallery.com. Please feel free to contact me via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or phone at 336-253-9500 or tollfree 1-844-559-9500. I look forward to hearing from you and answering any further questions you may have about me or our gallery. Blessings, Debbie
Thanks for the encouragement Diane. I hope your artistic journey continues to be fruitful.

There are, of course, all kinds of ways to become an advocate for children; one of the greatest ways (and the way that will be the focus of this article) is by becoming a CASA volunteer. CASA stands for court-appointed special advocate, and it's a program designed to empower children who have been victims of abuse or neglect by providing one-on-one assistance through court-appointed volunteers (also called special advocates).
So what exactly does all of this mean? Read on for more information about CASA and what you can do to become an advocate for children.
About CASA
CASA was established in 1977 when Seattle judge David Soukup expressed concern about making decisions on abused and neglected children's court cases when he didn't have enough information. David thought it would be beneficial to appoint community volunteers to speak on behalf of those children; and it was. He requested volunteers and 50 citizens responded. Since then, CASA has nearly 60,000 advocates and has helped more than 2 million children.
How You Can Help
By becoming an advocate! As an advocate, you work directly one 1 child's case at a time. This is the wonderful thing about a program like CASA. You're not swamped with several cases like lawyers are; you get to focus on 1 case–one child's life. Now for the nitty gritty details:
1. Search for your local CASA program and contact them directly
2. Complete a 30-hour training course & background check
3. Take on your first case as an advocate. You will be asked to dedicate approximately 10 hours per month. Most cases last about 1 1/2 years.
For more details on the duties of a child advocate, see CASA's Top 10 Commitment List.

Children, parents and staff celebrated 30 years of "Linda Lollipop" manning our school crossing. We surprised her with a card, signed by all the children in school, and a lovely basket of flowers. Linda Wilson began her job on 11th April 1988 - on a temporary basis - and is still ensuring our children cross the A6 safely on their way to and from school 30 years later. Thank you Linda!

The Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology has developed a robot suit, which is tailormade to improve the efficiency of agricultural work, i.e. pulling radishes out the ground or collecting oranges from trees.
The so-called "Half" was designed with the background of Japan having the world's oldest population. 20% of people over here are 65 or older, while the percentage is twice as big among farm workers. Pulling out radishes exerts a force of about 30kg on a human's back but Half is supposedly able to halve (no pun intended) that number.
The suit is equipped with a total of eight motors and 16 sensors. In its current form, the model weighs 25 kilograms with the developers hoping to present a 12.5kg suit by 2011.
Half is expected to go on sale for between $6,000 and $11,000.

Northeast's new taproom, HeadFlyer Brewing brings a spirit of adventure
Opening a brewery in northeast Minneapolis is no longer the guaranteed cash grab it once was.
Today, going commercial in Minnesota's beer mecca means taking a risk. It requires an adventurous spirit.
And that's the ethos of HeadFlyer Brewing. The new brewery and taproom opens in the old Miller Textile building on April 22.
Risk-taking is in HeadFlyer co-founder Amy Miller's bloodline; the Wisconsin native grew up in a family of small business owners. When she and husband and HeadFlyer head brewer/co-founder Neil Miller decided to open their own business, they knew they wanted to capture the intrepid, playful element of entrepreneurship in their space.
The Millers positioned HeadFlyer under the slogan "take a flyer" (which means take a chance), summoning patrons along for the ride.
"We wanted to invite people to try something new," Amy Miller says, "to do something out of the ordinary."
Amy and Neil originally wanted to open a small suburban brewery, but when they came upon this space in the refurbished Miller Textile Building, they knew they'd have top-tier digs to compete with Insight, 612 Brew, Able Seedhouse, and Bauhaus Brew Labs -- all of which are within a mile and a half.
The Millers with the help of Christian Dean Architecture, gave the taproom a clean, modern look that's punctuated by neon tube lights. The neon lights are a striking trademark for HeadFlyer. The sign that reads "The more you drink, the better I look" outside the bathrooms is sure to be among the most Instagrammed features of any Twin Cities brewery.
Despite the challenges of entering a saturated market, the one thing that hedges the Millers' bet is the quality of the beer. Though good beer is no longer a guarantee of success, HeadFlyer sports a run of seriously schooled brews that Neil developed as a homebrewer. HeadFlyer's 15-barrel system has resulted in beers that stand up to the quality standards set in the neighborhood.
HeadFlyer's early flagship is their None the Wiser Golden Ale. It's a light-drinking brew that's fortified with some late-addition amarillo hops. Hops are undeniably the signature of Miller's brewing style -- he's a devotee of the IPA, and of the five taps at HeadFlyer right now, three are pale ales with meaty IBUs.
Most notable is the It Was All a Dream Northeast IPA, which gives props to Notorious BIG's "Juicy" with it's tart, grapefruity, and yes, juicy, body. Right now, HeadFlyer is sticking to ales, but they're planning to round out the tap list to 13 offerings, so less hoppy beers like the Amy Miller-honoring Freckled Amber are on the horizon.
Upon opening on April 22, HeadFlyer hopes to be a community leader in the revitalized Miller Textile building. They're already collaborating with the incoming Five Watt Coffee, and they're hoping that employees of Stahl Construction will make their patio a frequent stop off after punching the clock in their offices upstairs.
By leaning on their neighbors and the goodwill of folks who need a comfortable place to have a drink, the Millers and HeadFlyer Brewing have a formula that's tough to doubt, even in the ruthless market they're entering.
Grand opening on April 22

Campaign for Drawing 'Drawing Inspiration' Award winner 2007
The West Sussex Big Heritage Draw project involved 5 artists working with 15 heritage sites (3 each) across West Sussex. The aim was to raise the profile of the big draw across the region and engage the public with both large and small heritage centres. The three venues/ groups Steven worked with were; The Friends of Worth Park and Crawley Borough Council, Wakehurst Place and the Millenium Seed Bank and Worthing Museum and Art Gallery with St Andrews School. The projects each had their own local briefs but the core aim was to develop confidence, share skills and knowledge about the potential of the heritage sites and develop different approaches to interpreting collections and drawing. Some sites had had no previous experience of engaging the public. Two of the projects won recognition from the Big Draw inspiration awards.
Worth Park is an open space in Crawley which was once the grounds of a large hall (now demolished) owned by the Rothschild family. The grounds had been laid out by Pulman and are of historic significance. The aim of the project was to engage people in the site and spread the word about this relatively unknown and under-used site. The group of volunteers from the local croquet club undertook tours and gave presentations whilst visitors played croquet on the original lawns with paint covered balls.
The work at Wakehurst Place followed the theme of filling spaces. – The seed bank had just reached its billionth seed. Workshops were devised for a range of ages, approaches to drawing and for both self directed projects and artist led workshops. One workshop engaged the public in drawing seeds onto pre printed sheets with images of seed jars, other drawings were wrapped around recycled cardboard tubes to create a stack of storage jars to fill the windows of the seedbank.
Worthing Museum wanted to work with 'hard to reach' groups of young adults so a project working with a group of 15yr olds from a local boys school was developed with Curator Laura Kidner. Taking them behind the scenes, exploring the museums collections and using a range of different drawing approaches (including drawing onto acetates) led to large screens linked to the pupils project work in the school, based upon personal space and identity. The project was repeated for the general public and ran alongside other self directed drawing activities developed for the project which archived and explored the collections.
A film was made of the project, to inform and encourage other heritage sites to develop similar arts projects.The workshop with the pupils from St Andrews was included in this film. A subsequent special day was organised to launch the film and included a workshop led by Steven for curators and museum workers from across the county, engaging them in a drawing project similar to the project with the St Andrews Boys.
See the whole Compulsive Productions film here: Big Heritage Draw West Sussex. (the sections of the film refering to Worthing Museum are between 0.55 - 1.24, 10.20 -14.40, 20.33- 24.33).

Two Perspectives on Event Management Employment: Student and Employer Insights Into the Skills Required to Get the Job Done!
Junek, Olga, Lockstone, Leonie and Mair, Judith (2009) Two Perspectives on Event Management Employment: Student and Employer Insights Into the Skills Required to Get the Job Done! Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management, 16 (1). pp. 120-129. ISSN 1447-6770Full text for this resource is not available from the Research Repository.
Event management education has emerged in recent decades as an alternative to the related disciplines of tourism, leisure and hospitality. While the number of course offerings in this area continues to expand, questions have been raised regarding the employability of graduates in terms of their degrees equipping them with the requisite skills to work in this industry and the capacity of the sector to employ the ever increasing number of graduates. This article combines two studies to offer a multifaceted perspective on the requisite skills and abilities students perceive to be associated with event management employment and employers' assessments of where students stand in relation to these skills. One perspective has been gleaned from analysis of a survey of students at Victoria University (VU), Melbourne, undertaking a degree qualification in event management. Complementing this perspective, employer insights are gained from previously unreported aggregated appraisal data collected from organisations involved in hosting VU event management students on various work integrated learning placements. The findings of these combined data sources highlight the need for educators to more closely align student perceptions of the importance and subsequent performance in certain skill areas with the standards expected by event management employers.

Novel: Horror
Wei came to Bryan's office before Harper returned. There were riots and looting in eighteen different countries, Wei told him, and minor riots and looting in areas of Chicago. People were gathering outside the Offices, though the crowds were disturbed in Moscow and Jakarta when flocks of demons happened by.
"What can we say other than don't panic?" Wei asked him. But Bryan got the feeling the question was rhetorical. Wei took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. "You mind?"
"Not anymore," Bryan said.
"Good answer." Wei put a cigarette to his lips and lit it. "You want one?"
"I don't think I'd really enjoy it. Main thing is making sure our agents don't get harassed by anyone in our crowd outside. We still need to work."
"What for?"

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Your turn, Josh Freeman.
Freeman was named the latest starting quarterback for the scuffling Minnesota Vikings on Wednesday. Freeman's second week with the team will culminate on Monday night with him leading the offense against the New York Giants.
Coach Leslie Frazier also said that Christian Ponder will be the backup, not Matt Cassel, assuming Freeman makes it through the week without problems.
Freeman will be the third starter in the last four games for the Vikings (1-4) and the 11th since Daunte Culpepper's season-ending knee injury in 2005. Freeman was cut by Tampa Bay on Oct. 3 and signed by Minnesota to a one-year contract five days later.
Freeman started 59 games over four-plus seasons with the Buccaneers. The former first-round draft pick threw for 25 touchdowns and just six interceptions in 2010, but has been up and down since.

BY: Dan Rose – Dorset Echo Sport (@EchosportDan)
MANAGER Craig Laird feels his side's 6-1 home defeat to Exeter City on Saturday can be constructive for his squad going forward.
The Magpies were outclassed on the afternoon by their Football League opposition at the Avenue, as the Grecians went into their competitive schedule of fixtures on a high.
But Laird admitted, while his side were on the end of a drubbing, he would rather their frailties be exposed now than when their league campaign begins on Saturday, August 12.
"When you play the better sides they always show you where your weaknesses are and that's really good to know," he told Echosport.
"You could go into a league campaign not knowing where your weaknesses are and they could get exploited early on.
"We realise we have a lot to work on, which is good."
The away side took the lead through David Wheeler on 24 minutes at the Avenue, having raced on to a defence-splitting pass and slotted the ball past Chris Weale in the home goal.
One soon became two for City just four minutes later. Former Plymouth striker Reuben Reid fired home after being found by Wheeler.
The League Two side then made it 3-0 before the interval thanks to Jake Taylor. He was first to react after Reid's initial effort cannoned off the woodwork.
Lloyd James then joined the party for the full-time outfit to make it 4-0 eight minutes after the interval after he capitalised on some confusion in the Dorchester backline.
Despite David Jerrard and Exeter loanee Jordan Storey having shots deflected for the Magpies as the second half wore on, Exeter found the net once more to record their fifth of the afternoon.
Pierce Sweeney advanced from full-back to add his name tot he list of scorers.
Jack Sparkes then made it 6-0 to the away team before the Magpies bagged a consolation goal through trialist Leighton Thomas.
Thomas, who played against Dorchester for Portland United on Tuesday evening, produced a neat turn and shot into the bottom corner to round the scoring off at 6-1.
Reflecting further on his team's performance, Laird added: "I was a bit disappointed that we conceded so many goals through mistakes that we made but it gives us something to work on in training and pushing forward to start the season.
"I thought we tried to be brave, tried to play, and get on the ball, which was good.
"I felt that our quality was missing and it didn't allow us to build on things.
"But it was a good run out, it showed some of our frailties and bits that we need to work on."
Asked about goalscorer Thomas, Laird added: "We wanted to have a better look at him.
"I know Trevor (senior, assistant) has watched him a few times playing for Portland but we wanted to see what he was like playing for us against a better side. To be fair, he did alright."

A little girl sitting in a kitchen pantry in suburban Chicago conjuring a fantastic kingdom out of canned goods: this is Shonda Rhimes's earliest memory of her childhood. Before she could even write, she dictated her invented tales into a tape recorder. Later, she crammed fabric-covered journals with an onrush of words. Rhimes says these imaginary realms sustained her through a childhood in which she was often the only black girl in her class, not to mention shy and chubby. She scribbled her way through high school and college, emerging from her shell at Dartmouth, where she wrote for the college paper and acted in school plays. In her senior year, she directed a production of "The Colored Museum," a satirical George C. Wolfe play ransacking African American cultural stereotypes. She graduated with a degree in creative writing.
"I actually thought I was going to be a novelist," Rhimes tells me. "That was my plan. But when I started writing screenplays and scripts, it was like sitting down at a piano and discovering that I already knew how to play," she says slowly. "It felt much more like, 'Oh! This is the writing I am supposed to be doing.'"
Rhimes doesn't remember her first network pitch meeting, because she says there were so many false starts. "My first go-round with doing a show, I pitched every kind of idea you could imagine. I came up with a million different things because I didn't know how any of it worked." She ended up writing a script about four female war correspondents who reported, drank, and sexed their way through conflict zones.
"Both of us came from movies, and neither of us had any concept of budget, so we had very large action sequences that probably would have broken the bank," recalls Betsy Beers, a producer who soon partnered with Rhimes. But the studio had qualms beyond the financial: a war with Iraq was looming, and a series about hard-partying journalists skirted bad taste. The project was dropped, but exec Suzanne Patmore Gibbs encouraged Rhimes to try again."The second time around, I was much more targeted," Rhimes says, "because I didn't just want to write a script [that didn't get filmed]. I wanted to make a pilot." So she asked the studio what ABC head honcho Robert Iger wanted, and was told he was interested in that old network TV staple, the medical drama. Rhimes had worked as a candy striper in high school, and she and her sister were addicted to watching real-life medical procedures on the Discovery Channel. "It was perfect because I was a medical junkie, and so it was very simple to do for me. I just said, 'If Bob wants a medical show, I am going to write a medical show.'"
In the spring of 2003, ABC was trapped in third place among the major networks, frantically struggling to improve ratings by dishing out bargain-basement reality fare such as "Extreme Makeover" and "Are You Hot? The Search for America's Sexiest People." Execs knew they were doomed unless they overhauled their lackluster scripted programming list. Entertainment division chief Susan Lyne had been searching for a "girls' show" for a while, something sexy and character-oriented that could fill the cultural gap left by "Sex and the City," which had just ended its six-year run on HBO. Although network primetime traditionally attracted more female than male viewers, shows revolving around female characters often seemed to hit a snag.
ABC turned to a script that had been lurking around the studio: "Desperate Housewives." If done properly, it could merge "Sex and the City" edginess and "Melrose Place" soapiness. Execs hustled to get it ready in time for fall 2004, along with an expensive desert-island science-fiction blockbuster called "Lost." While ABC fussed over these two flashy Hail Marys, Rhimes and Beers quietly developed their medical drama. One of the working titles for the series was "Surgeons," but the duo knew what they wanted to call it: "Grey's Anatomy."
"Nobody was paying attention to us," Rhimes says. "They were making 'Lost,' they were making 'Desperate Housewives.'" When I laugh, she protests using one of Grey's's popular catchphrases. "Seriously! We had no pressure whatsoever. Nobody cared. They had the biggest guy show they could think of and the biggest female-skewed show they could think of, and they were perfectly happy. So we were sort of left to do what we wanted to do." Lyne nicknamed their show "My So-Called Surgical Residency," a nod to the brilliant but canceled teen series "My So-Called Life," and possibly a hint of the network's low expectations for it.
For Beers, the script's appeal hinged on Rhimes's ability to capture the complexities of women's lives within the straitjacket of a primetime network format. "There was not a lot on TV at that time that reflected who I was, both in terms of the way women were portrayed and the way people in the workplace were portrayed." Beers was thrilled to find a world depicted in which "you could be good at your job, you could be competitive, you could be dark and interesting and still have incredibly good friends. ['Grey's Anatomy'] was all the things you didn't see on a regular basis on TV, a fully rounded world that was diverse and looks like America."
The show pivoted around young surgical intern Meredith Grey, whose intimate, broody voice-overs would frame each episode. Beers and ABC execs liked the idea of putting novices at the drama's core. "If we can find the point of view of people who don't know what they're doing, the audience can relate and be introduced to the [hospital] and the pressures of the profession." In the pilot episode, one of the interns nearly kills a patient during his first attempt at surgery, earning him the nickname 007, as in "licensed to kill." All the series' characters would regularly screw up.The pilot kicked off, in fact, with Meredith literally screwing up: we see her throwing a hunky one-night stand out of her house before setting off to start her new job, where she discovers that cute stranger is her new boss. This so-called slutty behavior worried some TV execs. Beers recalls attending a meeting where she and Rhimes were surrounded by men: "One gentleman in particular who was not responding positively to the 'Grey's Anatomy' pilot mentioned that he couldn't understand a woman who was so irresponsible. What kind of woman would ever, ever do that? I raised my hand and said, 'That would be me.'"
Beers shakes her wavy blond hair, grinning. "It is astonishing when the [network's] approach is that women don't do that stuff, because women clearly do. I just wanted to have a show on the air that was something I would watch and identify with."

August Break, day 8: herding little people through the grocery store.
I wonder if other parents loathe these tiny carts as much as I do. They're a great idea in theory, wonderful to spark make-believe, but the grocery store is a hazardous place, full of bottles to be broken and food to grab and legs to collide into.
But how can I say no when such a small thing makes them so happy?

In a recent controversy that played itself out in the media, NBC and CNN have backed away from projects about Hillary Rodham Clinton. Is it completely negative, rejecting her brand of feminism, as one may claim? Does it develop a positive tone, as Charles Ferguson, who was to have directed the CNN documentary, wrote in a Huffington Post article that he decided not to go forward because "nobody, and I mean nobody, was interested in helping me make this film. Not Democrats, not Republicans — and certainly nobody who works with the Clintons, wants access to the Clintons or dreams of a position in a Hillary Clinton administration"? Or is it her lack of universal popularity? Ferguson specifically said he was "interrogated" by Clinton aide Nick Merrill. He said Philippe Reines, a long-time Clinton adviser, "contacted various people at CNN, interrogated them and expressed concern about alleged conflicts of interest generated because my film was a for-profit endeavour".
Perhaps there is room for an interpretation, rooted in feminism, resolving the differences between Ferguson and Merill. In this resolution, the controversy may represent recognition of a paradox of political existence: featuring a female future presidential candidate in a biography, and as given to analysis, showing Clinton's approach towards women who are full participants in politics and the economy.
Ferguson's comments keep the controversy going: "It's a victory for the Clintons, and for the money machines that both political parties have now become," Ferguson wrote. "But I don't think that it's a victory for the media, or for the American people." In answer to this, asked for a comment on the developments, Merrill stated: "Lights, camera, no reaction."
More important, we are reminded by National Journal magazine that Hillary left the State Department amid a furore over the Benghazi attacks and criticism that she never achieved a breakthrough diplomatic moment. She may, it says, be ultimately remembered for a quieter, perhaps more lasting, legacy of putting women at the centre of US foreign policy. This however may exist only in people's imagination or fact.
The magazine continues to say that as John Kerry takes over at State, only two countries stand out as unfinished business. One is Saudi Arabia, where women can't vote or drive, must cover themselves head to toe in public, and must have a male guardian. Despite such rampant human-rights violations — against political dissenters as well as women — US officials, it says, tend to be circumspect, given their reliance on Saudi Arabia as a strategic partner and energy source. They also want to avoid the potential for backlash from ultraconservative Saudi factions. "The thing that's hardest about Saudi [Arabia] from the US perspective is, what can you do that actually helps … more than it hurts?" asks Heather Hurlburt, executive director of the National Security Network.
The second country that stands out as a challenge is Afghanistan. It is reported that Kerry was reassuring at his confirmation hearing in January. If there is negotiation with the Taliban, he said, they will have to cut ties to al-Qaeda and "they must commit to respect the constitution of Afghanistan and the current status of women and girls within their society".
According to the Guardian, from the start Hillary stood to say: women's rights are "the signature issue" of this administration's foreign policy. She mentioned women 450 times in speeches in the first five months in office. "Transformation of the role of women is the last great impediment to universal progress," she declared, and began to develop what is her standard line: women's issues are integral to the achievement of every goal of US foreign policy.
Therefore, when Hillary gave a feminist speech in Argentina several years ago she was greeted with applause and cheers by Argentine women for her speech on reproductive health and domestic violence. "Hillary is a radical feminist, and we welcome that here," said lawyer Liliana Tojo, according to the Washington Post.
But some view Clinton in numerous paradoxes. "There were moments with Hillary Clinton when I felt like we were getting too close to a rescue narrative: 'Here's Hillary Clinton and here's the United States. We are going to save the women of the world,' " says Mallika Dutt, to The Nation, as president of Breakthrough, a human-rights organisation.
According to the White House, Hillary's State team argues that she was a great stateswoman, her ambition to touch down in as many countries as possible a view of how much repair work she did to the nation's image abroad. This is what Republicans, who had vowed to punish both networks by refusing to let them host primary debates in 2016, must accept. And this is what Hillary aides at the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Foundation must accept to run a successful 2016 campaign on women's issues.

The Cornell note taking system was invented in the 1950's by Walter Pauk who was an education professor at Cornell University. This effective system for taking notes was made popular by Professor Pauk's best selling book How To Study In College and is still being used by college students today. This book is still available if you are interested in reading the details about this effective note taking method and other study strategies.
The Cornell method of note-taking is done by dividing a page into 3 sections: Notes, Cues and a Summary section. Assuming you're taking notes on an 8.5 x 11″ or A4 size page, create a column about 2″ wide on either the left or right hand side of the page for Cues. Leave about 2″ at the bottom of the page for a Summary section. The largest section is for Notes. At the top of each page write your name, date, topic and class.
The Notes section is used during class or while reading a book to take abbreviated notes and to copy any diagrams or charts the instructor may use. It's a good idea to leave extra space between main points and topics so that other details can be filled in later and to allow you to read your notes easily.
The Cues should be written down soon after the class is over. Cues are used for review and study and can include such things as questions anticipated on an exam, main ideas/people, and vocabulary words.
The Summary at the bottom of the page is written after class and is used to help you find information later on. It is a brief summary of the notes on that page highlighting the main point(s).
Cornell University summarizes the method of using these notes most effectively this way:
- Record. Take brief notes during a lecture or while reading.
- Questions. As soon after class as possible, formulate questions based on the notes. The writing of questions is used to study for exams later.
- Recite. Cover the large note-taking section with a sheet of paper. Then, looking at the questions or cue-words in the cue column only, say aloud, in your own words, the answers to the questions, facts, or ideas indicated by the cue-words.
- Reflect. Reflect on the material by asking yourself questions, for example: "What's the significance of these facts? What principle are they based on? How can I apply them? How do they fit in with what Ialready know? What's beyond them?
- Review. Spend at least ten minutes every week reviewing all your previous
notes. If you do, you'll retain a great deal for current use, as well as, for the exam.
Several universities & websites provide explanations on how to benefit from the Cornell note taking method – here are just a few:

If you want to try to improve your studying by using the Cornell Method of note-taking you can simply use a bold pen to divide pages in your notebook into 3 sections, you can print out your own Cornell paper by using an online PDF generator, or you can buy a nicely bound notebook with Cornell paper.

Love your life in 2015!
Happy New Year!
Let's take a moment…right now, we have a great opportunity to reflect and look forward! It's a new chapter in your book – you know all the things coming will somehow build on what's already happened but you also get to start fresh and experience all new things!
With a new year comes the tradition of resolutions. I've learned through trial and error that the important thing when it comes to resolutions (and goals in general) is to fight the urge to make them lofty and unattainable. Goals are wonderful…but only if they are smart, motivating and attainable! Don't get me wrong, I also would like to add Chris Evans to my list, if that was plausible…
You need direction, focus and motivation to change. And let's not forget that change is rarely the flip of a switch…it comes with WORK. You need to stick with it! I read a quote that always stuck with me – "The road to success is always under construction." In other words, even with a goal in mind you're bound to hit a few road blocks or detours. If you can work toward expecting it, you can be prepared to make another move.
This year, I'm setting new goals for the season, which I'm going to try to revisit in the spring. Check them out below:
- Find & love: I want to find my version of happiness with myself and ACCEPT IT. There's is so much pressure to keep up with the proverbial Joneses! We're always pressured to be skinnier, wealthier, more popular, etc. etc. But are those measures of "happiness" mine? I know the things that make ME happy and I know what I love. I just need to focus on finding and appreciating those things. 🙂
Which is another reason I'm so glad the Tone It Up Love Your Body Challenge is coming back – If you know me, you know I enjoy basically every TIU challenge…but I really love this one because it's not just about working out and eating well, it's really about making a happy and healthy lifestyle that helps you love yourself!
- Disconnect: This might be for 5 minutes or it might be for the whole day…I've become so tied to my phone, my computer, the TV, etc. We're checking emails at dinner, scrolling Twitter on the couch…every moment is something. I want to step away from it all and try harder to be present! I want to tune in. Clear out the chaos. And return to that peaceful place again and again.
- Home yoga routine: I've learned to love yoga but I can't always make it to a class. I want to start regularly practicing at home, if even for a few minutes. Yoga helps me focus, stress less and sleep better!
- Eat at the table: It seems like a simple thing, but we almost never eat at our kitchen table. We pile books, bags, groceries, packages…everything on our table, except our food! In doing so, we end up eating in front of the TV. I want to get away from that this year!
- Moderate: So many people are resolving to eat healthier to lose weight (A 2012 survey estimated that the number of American adults who are dieting jumps from 34 million during the holidays to 50 million in the first two weeks of January!), to undo indulgences, or to simply feel healthier/happier…but I've found that never comes from a stark diet change. No need to go cold turkey. The key is moderation.
My wish for your this year is try new things and get out there to do the things that motivate you! Take a break from hating/judging yourself. Meet new people. See new places. Try new things (even if they're scary). Seek inspiration. Explore the world around you.
Cheers & all the best to you in 2015! ♡

Electrical connectors
• Better than gold
• Eco-friendly
• Durable for extreme conditions
Costly gold plating and growing environmental awareness create new challenges for the electrical component industry. These challenges are the reason why Impact Coatings has driven the development of MAXPHASE™ contact coatings and PVD equipment for connectors and other electrical components.
Our PVD production solutions replace traditional wet plating with eco-friendly PVD technology. The low environmental impact of PVD technology means no environmental licenses are needed for production lines.
PVD is a greener, more economical solution for coating connectors and other electrical components.
We offer well-established PVD contact coatings for electrical connectors:
Silver MAXPHASE™ is a cost-effective silver alloy coating that can replace and in some cases even outperform plated gold.
Ultra MAXPHASE™ is a PVD contact coating for extreme wear, corrosion and heat conditions, where electroplated gold is not sufficient.

'Malnourished children' in IDP camps
Nearly 5000 Internally Displaced (IDP) children in Vavuniya camps are malnourished, a charity that works in Menik Farm IDP camp says.
Dr. Vinya Ariyaratne, Executive Director of Sarvodaya told BBC Sandeshaya that there are about 30,000 -35,000 children in Menk Farm.
"Many of them are suffering from diseases and some still suffer from injuries," he said.
15-20 percent of these children are also suffering from chronic malnutrition and acute malnutrition, he said.
The majority of those children are suffering from accute malnutrition as a result of fleeing place to place during the last stages of war without having proper meal, Dr. Ariyaratne added.
Toilet facilities
He further said that health ministry is working together with Sarvodaya, UNICEF and other organisers to eradicate malnutrition among IDP children in Vavuniya camps.
"It can, however, take few weeks to few months for these children to recover," Dr. Vinya Ariyaratne told BBC Sinhala service.
The children are currently well fed, he said, but it will be difficult to cure these children within a short period of time.
He further added that the authorities are working to resolve the shortage of toilets.
"The international standard is for 20 people to use one toilet but in Menik Farm about 70 people are sharing one toilet," he said.
Nearly 250,000 to 300,000 IDPs are housed in Menik Farm camp in Vavuniya. The majority of these IDPs have fled final battles between the Sri Lanka military and the LTTE in May.

Tom Corbett speaks at Governor's Breakfast
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett stresses four topics - transportation, liquor privatization, pensions and the budget - during his speech at the Harrisburg Regional Chamber & CREDC Governor's Breakfast last month. Joe Hermitt, PennLive.com
(Joe Hermitt, PennLive.com)
Politically wounded, legislatively cornered, and almost certainly desperate, Gov. Tom Corbett may have played his final trump card last week as he pushes his "big three" legislative agenda: roads, liquor privatization, and pension reform.
And there are still almost three weeks to go before the budget deadline.
The poll-weary governor, who has contrasted himself from his iconic Democratic predecessor by passing consecutive on-time balanced budgets, is apparently ready to hold the 2013 budget past the June 30 deadline to compel the legislature to privatize state liquor stores, grant new fees to repair roads and bridges, and reform state employees' pension system, according to Budget Secretary Charles Zogby.
"He's been very direct with them that he expects, by the time we leave here, he's got three major agenda items and a budget he wants to accomplish," Zogby said Wednesday of the governor's message to legislative leaders.
"And he's going to continue to drive towards that until there's evidence that they [the legislature] are not going to achieve them, or they [Corbett's agenda] can't be achieved."
The threat came the day after Corbett reportedly conducted a closed door, hour-long meeting in the Capitol to light a fire under legislative leaders, according to various sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.
But state Senate and House leaders' response to Corbett's private Tuesday entreaty was reportedly the same as their reaction to his public Wednesday budget threat.
"Legislators kind of shrugged their shoulders and said 'So what'," according to a well-connected lobbyist familiar with the meeting, but who did not want to be identified.
Having endured eight years of Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell budgets ranging from 13th hour passage to approvals coming two seasons late, commonwealth lawmakers appear to have a new threshold for their fight-or-flight impulse.
"We've done it before and we can certainly do it again," Sen. Minority Leader Jay Costa, D-Allegheny County, said last week.
Added a former high-ranking figure from a previous Republican gubernatorial administration who didn't want to be identified: "Rendell was late, but he got [expletive deleted] done. Corbett's on-time, but he's not getting anything done."
Not all Capitol political operatives agree with the common perception of a calloused General Assembly unimpressed with Corbett's budgetary nuclear threat.
"When the governor say's he's willing to give up one of the calling cards of he administration in order to do the right thing, it carries significant weight," said Charlie Gerow, a Harrisburg consultant with ties to Corbett.
However most State Street politicos say Corbett's attempt to speak privately Tuesday, but swing a big stick publicly Wednesday may have weakened – not strengthened – his negotiating hand.
Having effectively articulated the need for his big three agenda items, but seen his budget threat fall on uncaring ears, the governor is in the unenviable position of being forced to the sidelines as his agenda, and possibly his political future, are bartered by a Republican-controlled legislature that at best has mixed feelings toward their first-term GOP chief executive.
Corbett loyalists, such as Gerow, disagree.
"There are lots of cards to be played before Independence Day and the governor has the ability to influence the negotiation from a variety of angles and perspectives," he added. "The more the governor is engaged in the budget deliberation process, the better off it is for him and the better it is for the commonwealth."
That engagement may carry more weight in the House, where the stature of the governor's office continues to inspire awe among some representatives when he enters a room.
But in the more contentious and Corbett-hostile Senate, the governor's nominal influence is evidenced by the way the liquor privatization bill he backs has been treated.
Almost as soon as Corbett achieved passage of an historical House liquor bill in March, Senate leaders effectively tossed it on the trash heap.
Since then, Senate Law and Justice Committee Chairman Chuck McIlhinney, R-Bucks County, has made sure the discussions over liquor privatization in his key committee have been laborious.
At best, McIlhinney's hearings have been indifferent to the governor's goal. At worst, they've been unequivocally antagonistic.
McIlhinney, who has dismissed the House bill outright while nimbly toying with pro-privatization forces' emotions, has said he'll introduce his own liquor bill. But he's promised that his proposal will arrive with less than two weeks left before the budget deadline.
Further complicating the governor's privatization effort, House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny County, was adamant last week that any Senate liquor bill will have to be "substantially similar" to the House bill to gain approval in the opposite chamber.
The Senate has not been entirely obstinate toward Corbett's agenda. Last week, it passed a transportation bill with overwhelming bipartisan support.
But the fee-laden legislation is believed to be hugely unpopular in the fiscally hawkish House, which sees the new fees as obscured new taxes.
Meanwhile, Corbett's pension reform plan, introduced in May, appears to be so unappetizing to House and Senate legislators facing re-election in 2014 that it landed with a thud still echoing in Capitol corridors.
It's not clear how closely Republican legislators tie their electoral fates to a governor who has been earnest in keeping his austere campaign pledges, but has too often stumbled in his messaging and political strategy.
Some argue that Republican lawmakers believe they rise or fall with their Republican governor.
"If they miss this opportunity to pass transportation, it looks like the Senate Republicans can't govern," said one influential Capitol lobbyist who did not want to be identified.
Others say that Corbett is so politically weak that GOP lawmakers are already distancing themselves from him in anticipation of their own re-election efforts on the same 2014 ticket.
"They don't think in terms of whether it's good or bad for Tom Corbett," said another Harrisburg GOP lobbyist who spoke on condition of anonymity. "They think in terms of whether it's good or bad for themselves."
That legislative distancing could be quickened as Corbett's re-election prospects appear to worsen.
A new Quinnipiac University poll released Friday reaffirmed a growing narrative of the incumbent's re-election woes.
Corbett was bested 45-35 by announced challenger U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz, D-Montgomery County, in the poll. And state Treasurer Rob McCord, a big name Democrat who has not declared his candidacy but is expected to do so in the fall, also topped the governor 43-35.
The poll also found that 52 percent of Pennsylvania voters say Corbett does not deserve to be reelected, and that 48 percent disapprove of the job he's doing.
Corbett campaign strategists hope that scoring some legislative wins this budget cycle will improve his re-election prospects next year.
But even some loyalists question how relevant beer and wine in grocery stores and road construction work – not likely to hit a full stride until after the 2014 election – will be to voters concerned primarily with job creation and the economy.
Still, with the fate of the governor's agenda – and possibly his political fate – firmly in the legislature's hands, most political observers agree that whatever lawmakers deliver to Corbett's desk he'll sign and take credit.
Few in the politirati, or in the electorate will care if that happens in June, or July.

I used to test laptops en masse at Laptop Magazine and I'm well aware of the various problems with the testing methods available. Your battery test — playing a DVD over and over to recreate the experience on a plane, for example — might be different from mine — watching furry porn in a constant loop while Twittering college students. That said, there has been some lip service paid to the severe dip in battery life in the latest Penryn Pros and I'm glad Apple has to cojones to change its testing method.
When we see battery life, we usually see best case life. This often means the laptop is doing nothing, sitting in a climate controlled room at lowest brightness. If that were the case, all of our laptops could get 10 hours with a little prodding. Apple, however, is now testing wireless productivity — which cuts lots of battery life — along with a number of other tests that improve accuracy but drive down scores. While this seems obvious, a number of OEMs don't do this out of fear of deflating their numbers. Sometimes their claims of long life are true — IBM, now Lenovo, often had laptops with great life. In fact, I've seen laptops that lasted 8 hours or more on one charge. However, most of their claims are sadly false. Hopefully this will bring some truth back into the testing regimen.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — In the nervous hours before Kansas' bus ride to the Alamodome for its NCAA Tournament semifinal, most of the Jayhawks will be crammed together in their hotel rooms while they fight 99 opponents to be the last one standing in the post-apocalyptic world of Fortnite.
The planet's hottest video game — or, to be specific, its Fortnite: Battle Royale spinoff — is consuming the free time of college students everywhere, and the Final Four is no exception.
"It's the best game out right now," Kansas guard Marcus Garrett said. "Everybody is doing it, and once you start, it's hard to stop. Once you turn it on and you're sitting in front of your bed, you'll probably be there for five hours, just sitting there."
But it's more than a game: With its addictive gameplay and visceral excitement, Fortnite has become a unifying force for the teams that have reached the final weekend of the college basketball season. The players who spend months building on-court chemistry believe they're helped by hours spent working together in virtual teams to wipe out their Fortnite opponents.
"It's definitely a team bonding experience," said guard K.J. Lawson, who introduced the game to the Jayhawks last fall. "You're in the room together, and you've got to have a lot of chemistry and much strategy. You just can't go out and kill. You've got to be able to strategize and get the win out of 100 people.
"Only the strong survive. Kind of like the Final Four."
Fortnite was released last summer, and its Battle Royale version followed in September, but it has taken hold of a large portion of the nation's college basketball players — along with celebrities such as Drake, Travis Scott and Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, whose combined Twitch stream of the game obliterated a viewing record for the platform two weeks ago.
That's also when Fortnite's ubiquity was highlighted by UMBC's Nolan Gerrity, Max Portmann and Sam Schwietz, who memorably compared the 16th-seeded Retrievers' unprecedented upset of No. 1-seeded Virginia to their first victory in a 100-player Battle Royale.
References to the game have popped up across the country during the tournament, largely because so many players are spending hours immersed in the game on their consoles or phones.
"Whenever we've got the free time, we're definitely on it," Villanova forward Jermaine Samuels said. "I like the competition, and just trying to outlast people. That exciting feeling of paranoia, not knowing where the next kill is coming from, not knowing when someone else is coming. It's just a constant grind, and if you die, you can come right back into it. That's what we love about the game."
Although Player of the Year Jalen Brunson prefers FIFA, every player on the Villanova roster plays Fortnite except forward Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree, who prefers anime-based games but still spends countless hours watching his teammates play Fortnite.
Everybody on Kansas' roster plays Fortnite, and Garrett believes the hours spent in the insulated virtual world actually prevented the Jayhawks from absorbing too much outside criticism about their season.
"We're just all on the game, just having fun all the time, so we never really had the distractions," Garrett said.
Even when some teammates aren't in the same room — or when they're unable to play together due to the PlayStation-Xbox divide — they'll often enter a Discord or Twitch chat room just to talk to each other.
Garrett is averaging 4.2 points as a key reserve for the Jayhawks, but he won 10 games while he spent 12 straight hours playing Fortnite on a recent day off. He considers himself Kansas' best Fortnite player, and while that title would never compare to a national championship, there are similarities.
"You just try to get to the end," Garrett said. "It's hard, so once you do win, you feel like you accomplished something."

What is e-waste?
Not surprisingly, there are many mobile handsets, ink cartridges, toner cartridges, and camera batteries that keep lying around our homes and offices. Rather than allowing these to accumulate dust in your attic, or simply throwing them in the bin, which could have a harmful environmental impact, why not recycle them. Abiding by the e-Waste Rules 2011, companies are taking an initiative to commence a collection mechanism which channelizes and disposes of the waste. To make our planet sustainable it is time we recycle the products which cannot be used further. Did you know that nearly 40 million tons of e-waste are generated all across the world every year? E-Waste is growingly exponentially just because the markets are now flooded with plenty of electronic gadgets, batteries and other devices which enter the waste stream. E-waste describes the discarded electrical components. The government of India says that it is time the manufacturers realize the significance of managing the environmental influence of e-waste on consumers all across the world. The government says that it is the manufacturer of the product who is end to end responsible for managing the e-waste. E-waste has become a complicated issue which concerns the environmentalist owning to the fact that every year, there is a number of electronic items which are discarded in landfills. Reasons as to why e-waste affects our environment:
Most of the consumers are unaware that the electronic gadgets contain toxins which leach out into the soil, damaging our environment.
The toxic materials present in these devices pose assorted health and environmental risks.
E-waste takes longer time period to biodegrade, which is a testimony that it occupies the landfill space for many years.
Around ninety percent of the electronic components are imported from foreign counties, which take no responsibility of managing the e-waste.
The e-waste is shipped under the pretext of humanitarian reasons, on the dispute that this old technology is reusable and will help to bridge the gap between the 1st and 3rd world.
Most of the youngsters lack training in handling the toxic materials, exposing themselves to health risks while affecting the environment also.
E-Waste a serious global threat!
If you give the numbers a look, you will be surprised to see how many electronic gadgets are dumped every year. All this has a harmful impact on the environment. As per the statistics, the year 2012 saw 300 million tons of e-waste of which less than 40% was recycled. Indeed it is time to get alert!
Steps to improve the situation!
With everyone becoming environmentally friendly, it has become mandatory for the manufacturing companies to sign a contract with the vendor companies with an objective to recycle the e-waste. Companies recycle to contribute towards a more sustainable environment. Below are some tips mentioned, that throw light on how to improve the situation and control e-waste. These tips will certainly prove to be a blessing.
Never throw your electronic devices in the bin or dump in soil, rather dispose of them off to your scrap dealers. The manufactures take this step as it helps in reducing the number of materials which needs to be extracted from the earth.
To keep the safety of your personal information, make sure you remove your personal details from the respective device.
The civic bodies are now joining hands with scrap dealers so that they receive e-waste in great quantities. As a responsible citizen, you must contact these civic bodies or scrap dealers so that your devices are reused precisely.
Visit the charitable organizations and initiate a noble cause of donating the electronic devices that cannot be used further. Besides contributing to the environment, you can bring a smile on the face of underprivileged people.
It is time we grasp and understand the issue of e-waste as it is a global concern. Speak about the end to end solutions, go green, and contribute towards a sustainable world making it a better place to live.

With the establishment of a new office in Australia, as well as offering direct support for the region, Quick Release have established a 24 hour support function for all locations and programmes. Whilst your engineering and programme teams are sleeping, data can be processed, analysis carried out and reports produced so that teams can hit the ground running with up to date information and a clear set of priorities the moment they step through the door.
Whilst this capability may not be required at all times during a programme, there are key gateways, such as final data judgement or initial production release where, in the lead up, you need up to date information the moment you walk in. This support can be provided, typically as an extension to existing support for any duration required.
Pat McDivitt, who heads up the office spoke of the service, "It's brought new capability to the QR_ team globally and frees up more time for the on-site specialists to spend 'at elbow' with their teams, ensuring what needs to get done happens in a timely and accurate manner."
For further information on 24 hour support, please contact Paul Crabtree.

After multiple careers in broadcast television and professional broadcast equipment development, Craig joined the Hogtown Brewers in 2002 and started home brewing as a hobby. That hobby soon turned to a passion, as Craig began entering beers in Florida home brew competition. His focus was on brewing process, recipe, and consistency; this focus was rewarded with 14 gold medals for Big Nose IPA, along with two gold medals in The Masters Championship of Amateur Brewing. In 2008 Craig started his professional career as the original Head Brewer for Swamp Head Brewery in Gainesville, where he developed the recipes for Swamp Head's core products, including two Best of Show beers in the best Florida Beer Championships. In 2012 Craig served as the President of the Florida Brewers Guild, helping to bring about reforms in Florida's beer distribution laws. Craig joined Infinite in 2016 as a brewing consultant, and now guides the process of brewing production beers and developing new products as Head Brewer.
Sam Betty – Taproom Manager
Sam Betty has been in Ocala since 1996, first working as a line-cook and server in multiple local establishments, learning the ins and outs of the service industry. He started in the bar business at O'Malley's Alley in 1999 where he first met friends and fellow Infinite crew members, Tom McDonald and Juan Bengoa. Sam has been a beer enthusiast since and began home brewing when he received a small brew kit as a gift in 2003. His passion for beer and brewing grew quickly and he joined the Brick City Brewers home brew club in late 2011, continuing to learn and expand his brewing capabilities with the help of his friends. When Infinite Ale Works was set to open in March of 2014, Sam volunteered to help in any way, just to be a part of the brewery action. He has been tending bar in the taproom since May of that year, gaining his Cicerone Certified Beer Server certification at the same time. Sam has just been given the title of Taproom Manager and will be overseeing the daily operations of the Infinite Ale Works taproom, organizing special events and helping to ensure that all our guests leave happy and having enjoyed their craft beer experience!
In addition to Infinite, Sam is the Director of Ocala Caregivers (A Homecare Company), President of SSB Ocala, Inc. (Specialized Business Consulting) and President of the Ocala Outreach Foundation, Inc. (A local 501c3).
Renato (aka Kyle) Krizanac – Assistant Brewer
An Ocala native, Renato was a picture framer for nine years before starting his job at Infinite. He became interested in craft beer when he noticed what Juan and Tommy were doing with Pi. Once word got around that they were opening up a brewery, he knew he wanted to be a part of it. Volunteering his time here and there, he eventually came in and participated in a brew day. Once a position was available, he jumped at the opportunity to join the staff. Now, he's learning as much a he can from Head Brewer, Craig, to expand our infinite possibilities.
Travis Arenburg – Sales Rep
As a Beer Evangelist, he's spreading the word on our brews to the craft beer lovers of Florida and especially right here at home. A native Floridian, Travis has lived in the Ocala area for twelve years, and has worked in all tiers of the craft beer industry. When you see Travis, make sure you say hi and see for yourself his enthusiasm for all things Infinite!

Plans for Nelson's most expensive apartment block unveiled
Tags: Nelson Residential
Plans for Nelson's biggest and most expensive apartment block have been unveiled - as the upmarket new central city residences are placed on the market for sale.
Plans for Nelson's biggest and most expensive apartment block have been unveiled - as the upmarket new central city residences are placed on the market for sale.
Some 32 apartments ranging in size from 37-square metres one-bedroom units through to the top floor 144 square metre three-bedroom and office/media room homes are on offer at the $30 million Saltwater Creek apartment complex on Haven Road overlooking Anzac and Rutherford parks.
Prices in the condominium will range from $395,000 to $1.95 million. Construction on new four-storey complex is scheduled to start in April next year once 70 percent of apartments have been pre-sold, with apartments planned to be ready for occupancy in the last quarter of 2018.
Construction of the block is being undertaken by Nelson-based Saltwater Creek Investments, with units being sold through Bayleys Nelson.
Bayleys Nelson salesperson Nina James expected to have 25 percent of the 32 apartments quickly sold by the end of the year. The Saltwater complex is just 400 metres walk from Nelson's central business district.
"As a $30 million project, this is easily the most expensive apartment block in Nelson – a fact reflected in not only the quality of the build and the fit-out of the apartments, but also their location," Ms James said.
"Saltwater Creek was initially targeted in its conception phase at the 'empty-nester' category – couples aged 50+ whose children have moved out and they no longer require the big lifestyle block on the outskirts of town.
"However as the project has progressed, we've also had a number of registrations of interest from the rural sector – again, the likes of farmers and horticulturalists who have worked the land over the decades, but with no family succession plan they are looking to sell up and use the equity from their business disposal to relocate into the city environs.
"We also anticipate selling a number of the two bedroom units as 'city pads' to those in the corporate and professional services sectors who work in Nelson during the week but whose main residential address is in the likes of Golden Bay, Buller or up in the Sounds."
Ms James said the Saltwater Creek complex would be serviced by two levels of parking for 39 vehicles accessed off the Haven Road one-way system. The upper-level apartments will be served by four separate boutique glass-encased elevators facing out toward Rutherford Park.
"The specifications for apartment fit-outs are very much aimed at the top-end of the market, and include the likes of European bathroom and kitchen fittings and appliances, European floor tiling, and LED lighting," she said.

These wedges are almost like pakoras , and something that I would love to eat . The kurkere in the market are tangy and actually not good for kids , glad you don't give to kids.
